EducationAmina Yahaya Is 2nd Female SUG Leader In A Northern Nigerian University by Everfrank(op): 10:41pm On Jul 29, 2016
A 400L student at the department of English, Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto , has emerged the new Students Union Government president of the University. Her emergence became imminent after the impeachment of the elected SUG president. Ms. Amina Yahaya is the second female student in Northern Nigeria to occupy the office of an SUG President.

About 30 years ago a front line activist and student politician, Najatu Mohammed, broke the first record and became the SUG president of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Najatu Mohammed contested the post and won in the early 80s, breaking the record of the first female student to occupy the office in Africa.

FamilyPhotos: Nigerian Pastor Chains 9-yr Old Son For A Month “for Stealing” by Everfrank(op): 1:17pm On Jul 24, 2016
A nine-year-old boy who was chained in Ogun State for weeks before his rescue on Friday, was given the horrifying punishment for allegedly stealing, police and the Nigeria Civil Defence Corps have said.

The NSCDC had said in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday that its personnel rescued Taiwo Korede from the Celestial Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish, Ajiwo) at Ajibawo in Ado Odo/Ota local government area of Ogun State.

The statement said Korede was rescued while in chains, and that the case had been transferred to the appropriate authority for further investigation.

Three photographs, including one showing an emaciated Korede in chains, were attached to the one-paragraph statement the NSCDC sent to this newspaper.

Police later told PREMIUM TIMES that Korede was chained by the neck to a heavy log of wood in a room for “more than a month”.

The spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the boy was chained by his own father, a pastor in the church, who is currently on the run.

But Mr. Adejobi said the rescue operation was carried out by “police detectives” following a tip off from a neighbour in the community.

“The police operatives of the Command attached to Onipanu Division, Otta, on Friday, 23rd July, rescued one Korede Taiwo, M, 9, from where he had been chained on his neck to a heavy log of wood in a room by his biological father Pastor Taiwo Francis, m, of THE KEY OF JOY CELESTIAL CHURCH, Ajibawo area, via Atan Otta, in Ado Odo Otta Local Government Area of Ogun State for more than a month,” he said.

He said the child’s step-mother, Kehinde Taiwo, who has been arrested by the police, accused the boy of stealing.

The claim that police rescued the boy could not be verified. The NSCDC was first to provide details and photos of the boy in captivity and after his rescue.

In what seemed an attempt to counter the police’s claim, the NSCDC released more details and photos of the rescue later on Saturday.

A statement by the NSCDC’s Ogun State PRO, Kareem Olanrewaju, said Korede was chained for repeatedly stealing soup prepared by his step mother.

“She reported to the Father who took step by chaining his hand and legs. This situation was on like that until a Good Samaritan informed NSCDC officials on surveillance patrol of critical infrastructure in the area, they immediately swung into action and ensure the boy was immediately rescued,” the corps said.

He said church members, led by the step-mother, Kehinde, had attempted to stop NSCDC officials from rescuing the boy.

“According to the information from officer in charge of Ado-Odo NSCDC Division who led the rescue operation, the boy had been chained for two weeks at the very Celestial Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish) the boy was tired and pale, he was not able to talk when he was initially rescued. On getting to the church there was serious resistance by members led by the pastor’s wife Kehinde, but Civil defence Corps men insisted, and they were able to force their way into the church premises. The boy was actually under lock and key. They quickly took him to the office for necessary entries and documentation and proceeded to the General Hospital, Ota.

“The boy was bath and one Dr. Akintunde asked NSCDC officials who took him there to give him lucosade boost, they then called on welder to cut the chains so as to enable them administer treatment. Before NSCDC left the hospital, he has been responding to treatment as he has started talking. However, the Hospital Medical Director one Dr. Osinbajo who came later assures the Corps that the boy will get necessary medical attention needed.

“Meanwhile, the Corps has since liaised with the police at Atan, who promised to continue with the investigation and do all necessary things needed.”

PoliticsAisha Buhari To Travel To The US, Plans On Attending Meetings In DC(Letter) by Everfrank(op): 11:20pm On Jul 22, 2016
[email][/email]SaharaReporters has learned details of the First Lady of Nigeria Aisha Buhari’s upcoming trip to the United States this August. News of Mrs. Buhari’s trip to the US follows accusations by embattled Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose that she was involved in the famous Halliburton scandal and, as a consequence, cannot go to the US for fear of being arrested.

Independent investigations by SaharaReporters and the New York Times have found that the First Lady Aisha Buhari is not the same "Aisha Buhari" involved with the Halliburton scandal, despite Mr. Fayose’s persistent remarks.

According to an official invitation letter obtained by SaharaReporters, Mrs. Buhari is expected to be in the US from August 1st to the 10th and will be attending bilateral meetings at the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. She will also be hosted by the United States Institute of Peace in collaboration with Voice of America media organization.

The invitation also says that Mrs. Buhari “will attend the 25th Anniversary celebration of Zumunta Association USA Inc.”

The letter was signed by Hajo Sani, the Senior Special Assistant (Administration), on behalf of Mrs. Buhari.

It will be recalled that SaharaReporters previously published a report, based off of leaked documents from the US State Department, that Mr. Fayose had his US visa revoked since 2006 following evidence of his sponsoring violence in Ekiti State and for corrupt practices. This visa revocation means that Mr. Fayose is unable to travel to the US legally.

IslamRe: Seeking A Muslim Solution To Islamist Terrorism by Everfrank(m): 12:41pm On Jul 22, 2016
Seun:
In light of the tragedy in France, which claimed 84 lives, I'd like to ask Nairaland muslims a very important question:

Is there something in Islam that makes it very easy for bad men to convince young muslim men to take part in evil terrorist attacks?

If so, what is it? And what should be done to permanently end the perpetration of terrorist acts by people who claim to be muslims?
Seun should have first told us his understanding of terrorism- is it the dictionary definition or western/christian definition?
1.So far as its only violence perpetrated by Muslims or people who claim to be muslims that is labelled terrrorrism then the end to acts of terror by Muslims is a utopia.
2. The US, UK and their allies sowed the seed of hatred and terrorism in the middle east by Illegally establishing Israel on stolen and forcibly taken land. They support and Finance the terror state of Israel to kill millions of Palestinians and take their land. It's this same problem that is polarizing the world till today.
3.They enforced and supported dictators and unpopular monarchies and subverted the Arabs for long. They labelled the non conformist states as axis of evil that must be taken out.
3. The western military industrial conglomerates amassed arms for the Arab states and used their media cum CNN, Fox news, Sky news, BBC, VOA etc to spread false propaganda.
4. They fabricated lies and took war to the middle east beginning with Afghanistan then Iraq, Libya, Syria etc thereby destroying civilizations older than their own and killing millions and destroying livelihoods. Those wars created for them more enemies out of the innocent victims.
5. A young man/woman that lost the entire members of his immediate family to a US drone can be easily convinced to "retaliate". Wouldn't you Seun?
I am not supporting or justifying any violence. Neither does my religion Islam. Christian are being unfair to us by associating any violence by a Muslim to Islam. Even though Christian nations and christians are the purveyors of war and violence all over the world we don't blame Christianity for that.

CrimeHow Agbele Bought N1.3bn Houses For Gov. Fayose – EFCC by Everfrank(op): 6:04am On Jul 19, 2016
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has made a breakthrough in the alleged corruption case against Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and his associate, Mr. Abiodun Agbele.

Agbele, who is currently in EFCC custody, was said to have received N1.219bn from a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, on behalf of Fayose during the build-up to the Ekiti governorship election in June 2014.

However, EFCC detectives alleged that Fayose used a large portion of the N1.219bn along with some money from the Ekiti State coffers to buy houses in Lagos and Abuja, which have since been seized by the anti-graft agency.

An investigator told our correspondent that Fayose used Agbele to buy the houses in a way that would make the source of the money look legitimate.

He explained that the two houses in Abuja were bought with bank loans from Skye Bank and Zenith Bank on the surface. However, the stolen money was used in offsetting the bank loans.

The detective said, “From the Dasuki funds, they had about N300m stashed in one account. However, when they were going to buy the N270m property located on Yedseram Street, they did not use the N300m from the stolen funds. Rather, they obtained a loan of N120m in the name of Spotless Hotel from Zenith Bank to deposit for the house.

“They then took about N150m out of the Dasuki money to pay the balance on the house and then used the same Dasuki funds to offset the loan. They went through all this stress to cover their tracks and make it look as if it was a bank loan they used in buying the property.

“Why did they take a loan that would be gathering interest when they had more than enough money to buy the house?”

The investigator said when it was time to buy the four duplexes in Lagos, Fayose and Agbele allegedly overpaid the seller of the houses and then told the seller to use the balance which was N200m, to pay for another house in Abuja.

The source said, “The worth of the four duplexes in Lagos is N1.1bn, which was sold by Still Earth Nigeria Ltd. However, Fayose and Agbele paid Still Earth N1.3bn in cash and then told the company to transfer the balance of N200m to Skye Bank. It was that N200m that was used in purchasing the building at 44 Osun River Crescent, Abuja. This was done so that no one would be able to trace the fund to them.”

Meanwhile, the anti-graft agency has also traced about N60m to an account belonging to Agbele.

The account titled, BYKD Consultant Limited, which is domiciled in Diamond Bank, received some funds from Ekiti State local governments under the heading, Millennium Development Goals.

A copy of the statement of account sighted by our correspondent showed that on February 18, 2015, about N18, 159, 050 was paid into the account. On the same day, about N15, 319, 650 was paid into the same account while about N11, 238, 500 was deposited into the account on the same day among other transactions.

The transaction history showed that Agbele paid about N40m and N15m into the account of Affordable Motors.

“This is a new discovery and we want to know why such funds would be released by local governments because so far there is no evidence of any contract between the local government and Agbele,” the source said.

PoliticsHow Ndigbo Can Break Free From Their Victim Mentality Syndrome by Everfrank(op): 6:55am On Jul 14, 2016
By Churchill Okonkwo

I don’t know about you, but it looks bizarre to me anytime I come across phrases like these on social media: “Igbo man achieves…”; “Igbo student ….”; “Igbo woman became…”; “Igbo man this, Igbo man that”. Suddenly, accomplishments by Nigerians across the globe are being zeroed down to tribe by a section of the country. What could be the reason behind this? To feel superior? To feel good? To show “them” that you are excelling?
Whatever you think it is, reducing the nationality of an individual’s achievement to the lowest decimal possible - one's tribe - to me does not elevate nor strengthen such honors. Rather than strength, it all points to something strange, a feeling of inferiority and fear. I thus see such actions as unconscious acts of perpetuating a self-imposed and unwarranted sense of marginalization – a victim mentality syndrome that only reinforces negative attitudes and isolation.

Negative attitude is poisonous and can negatively impact the way we feel and act. It is therefore extremely important that Ndigbo should switch to a positive frequency in order to reshape our realities and thoughts. That’s why I am here to let you know that it’s time to let go and start with a new thinking.

But first, here’s how to know that you have this victim mentality syndrome as Onye Igbo. You feel like every other tribe has it so easy in Nigeria except you; you always feel like it’s not my fault, they did it to me. You want to be a martyr, so you confront the security forces to be killed; you are addicted to imaginary misery and drama; blaming Buhari for everything improves your state of mind; you never feel responsible for your negative behavior; you only focus on negative events and disappointments, so even when Boko Haram are being decimated and massive corruption exposed, you keep focusing on real and imaginary marginalization; you display self-defeating, almost masochistic behavior – I am miserable therefore, I am. You know yourself now.

For Ohaneze Ndigbo that is meeting tomorrow at Owerri, here is the deal; you should make it clear to Ndigbo that the traits listed above are not an excuse to embrace a victim mentality. Tell Ndigbo that they should not be steering the pirate ship into the same iceberg that sank their father’s ship. After accepting that something shitty happened to them (whatever it is), tell Ndigbo that they need to embrace a new and fearless chapter. So, here are the bold steps to release ourselves from our victim mentality syndrome.

Stop asking why.

You will only end up torturing yourself more with that painful loop of questions without answers. It should have been that simple from day one. There will never be a satisfactory answer or gratifying analysis as to why Nigerian government will not “let you go”. So, stop playing the “poor me” card. Take responsibility. Wise up your life, there is really no way around it. Stop committing acts that will make you a martyr. The world is not paying attention.

Ask courageous questions.

I completely agree that space must be given for the “marginalized” to express themselves. But by clinging to the victim mentality, you get lost in the funk of sadness and self-pity. You fail to take action and exempt yourselves from the risks of failure. You carry an extra baggage. The fact is that surviving and thriving in multiethnic and religions society like Nigeria is not easy, but one need not assume a victim mentality in relation to it. So, ask courageous questions. How can we as a people move forward from here? Can you grab some power at state level of government and start setting example of what live will be like in the land of the rising sun?

Name your prize.

If what it will take to rid yourself of victim mentality is to have an Igbo sounding name as Nigerian President in 2019, start planning for it now by forging alliances with other political forces. If, on the other hand, ‘restructuring’ Nigeria will make you feel ‘rich’, take responsibility by strategizing on how to elect public office holders that will champion that cause from the local to the federal level. That’s how to take responsibility. Not this present display of victim mentality syndrome.

Unfortunately, your pro-Biafran movement is full of unhappy and confused people who keep telling you that the only way to achieve ‘sovereignty’ is by airlifting all your kinsmen to Mars. But what if you start with what you can grab immediately while you wait for the airlifting? You can shoot for political power base in the entire Southeastern Nigeria starting with the “Biggest Price” – The Anambra State Government House come 2017. The election is more than one year away, so you have more than enough time to start planning.

Forgive.

The most important thing you need to do is to forgive. Forgive the Hausas for the atrocities leading to the civil war. Forgive the Yorubas for betraying you during the Biafran civil war. Forgive the Niger Deltans for conniving with the Nigerian government to effectively block the Biafran enclave. After all, we are all over Southwest, North, and South-south working as professionals, doing business and prospering. By not forgiving them, you are bound to them by an emotional link that is stronger than uncooked ponmo (‘kanda’). Do you know the best thing about forgiveness? It does not only release the other person, it also sets you free from agony and unnecessary pain.

Finally, give yourself a break. Take a break from social media and all the junk websites that have kept you on the edge with fake stories of how the whole world (except Mugabe, Putin and Trump) has turned against you.

I know it’s hard getting out of the victim mentality syndrome but, you should be nice to yourself. All it will take to free yourself from the victim mentality syndrome is to remain an Okonkwo. Yes, Okonkwo! That’s who we are as Ndigbo - outgoing fearless, hardworking with reasonable sense of integrity. And that is freedom!

PoliticsNiger Delta Avengers Is Pdp’s “resistance Wing” – Akpabio’s Former Aide by Everfrank(op): 9:32am On Jul 10, 2016
As the Niger Delta Avengers continues to bomb oil pipelines and sabotage Nigeria’s wobbling economy, refusing the government’s plea to lay down arms, one man from Akwa Ibom State appears to think differently about the militants.
Ata Ikiddeh, a former special assistant on diaspora matters to ex-Akwa Ibom Gov. Godswill Akpabio said recently on Facebook that it took “five blown up oil pipelines” to get Femi Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, and a former Minister of Aviation, out of prison.
Mr. Akpabio (Akwa Ibom North West/PDP) is the Senate Minority Leader.
“This government is a joke,” Mr. Ikiddeh said of the Buhari administration, apparently referring to the government handling of its war against corruption.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, alongside former Minister of Finance, Nenadi Usman, is standing corruption trial for allegedly diverting N4.6 billion belonging to the federal government for political and personal use.
After spending days in prison custody, both Mr. Fani-Kayode and Mrs. Usman, were freed on bail by Justice Muslim Hassan of the Federal High Court, Lagos.
When asked by a Facebook commentator, Edim Asanaenyi, if the militant group was now a military wing of the PDP, Mr. Ikiddeh responded, “I am afraid to admit that – but that’s what this government is turning the Avengers into: the ‘resistance’ wing of the PDP.
“A very dangerous scenario is unfolding. I wouldn’t be surprised if a copycat group in the North becomes the clandestine military wing of APC, not with their permission of course, but this is how these things begin to take shape, they get out of our control, Boko haram is our perfect example.”

Mr. Ikiddeh said his analysis on the Niger Delta Avengers has never been defective.
“If I tell you all PDP members in detention will be released by the end of July, you’ll wonder where I got that from (I don’t actually know how many there are but I know Omisore was arrested and detained yesterday) – just watch and start counting.
“I am not sure of Dasuki and Kanu, the rumour of a coup has made their releases a security risk to the state. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of House arrest is fangled out for this two.”
PREMIUM TIMES spoke with Mr. Ikiddeh on telephone on Friday evening, and he confirmed that the Facebook comments were his.
Mr. Ikiddeh, who denied having any link with the militant group, said he was concerned with the effects the crisis was having on Nigeria.
“I am not bothered about whatever anyone says. I am only expressing my opinion. And I am doing so as a patriot. I love this country.
“Nigeria is still playing politics with the Niger Delta crisis. Why can’t we have a national conference, organized by the international community, on the Niger Delta?”
Mr. Ikiddeh had in a previous article he shared on Facebook likened the Niger Delta Avengers to a spider that attacks only when its peace is disturbed.
The article, titled “Buhari’s Calamity And The Spider In A Monkey Shadow” reads in parts:
“The spider will not attack until it’s disturbed. It’s quite a unique creature, it can starve itself for days, spread out on its web and not move until one of its feet picks up a tremor coming from any of the many angles from its kingdom. The disturbance sets its digestive juices in motion as it heads for the spot where a prey has been caught, its instinct to kill and devour takes over as it weaves its iron silk around its meal, sealing all escape routes. The spider will often attack prey larger than itself.
“Remember, the spider’s killer instinct takes over only when its webbed kingdom is disturbed. Have this in mind as I explain why the Avengers will keep bombing more oil installations in Nigeria and why the next phase of oil pipeline vandalisation will be more devastating.
“When the Niger Delta Avengers came on the scene late last year, they made a bucket list of demands. The demands may have sounded incoherent but there was a trail of consistency. The following featured prominently, implementation of the CONFAB report, a review of oil blocs licenses, Clean up of oil spill communities and Fiscal Federalism.
“But one key demand this government has consistently ignored is its refusal to stop harassing members of the opposition.
“The harassment and detention of defenceless PDP members has angered the Avengers. They feel the only way they can protect and defend the PDP from being completely destroyed by Buhari’s APC government is to strangle Buhari’s government economically by chewing up Nigeria’s oil pipelines, this is the crude method they’ve devised to defend the party they love, the only way they can tell Buhari, to hands off the PDP!
“Now, again when I say these things, I come under a torrent of abuse, when it happens exactly as I stated it, I am called a spokesperson of the Avengers.
“These are warnings from my tea leaves, as long as the Monkey government is bent on emasculating the opposition, the Spider will retaliate by attacking oil installations, that is the next phase of this war and it’s going to be devastating and humongous in scale. As usual I have warned!”
The All Progressives Congress, South South Zone, in June accused the PDP of sponsoring the Niger Delta Avengers against the Buhari administration.
“The zone is cocksure that the nefarious and ruinous activities of the ‘Avengers’ are not driven by any patriotic and altruistic impulse,” the APC had said in a communiqué after the party’s zonal meeting in Benin, Edo State.
“We have compelling reasons to strongly assert that these activities are sponsored and instigated by the opposition PDP to derail and frustrate the APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari because of its determination to fight against corruption, stabilise and put our country on the path of sustainable development.”
The renewed attacks on oil pipelines in the Niger Delta is said to have brought Nigeria’s oil production to a 30-year low.
Christianity EtcHow Our Pastor Raped Me Throughout The Night – 12-year-old Girl Confesses by Everfrank(op): 8:58am On Jul 10, 2016
A 12-year-old girl, Miss Ijeoma Mbiaka, on Wednesday narrated to DailyPost how the pastor of her church, Rhema Ministries in Oyeagu Abagana in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Rev Sampson Otisi allegedly lured her to a hotel, under the guise of conducting deliverance on her but ended up raping her all through the night.
Ijeoma, who is hard at hearing, told our reporter that she had gone to the church to seek prayers from the pastor so that she could hear loudly again.

She, however, said she was lured to the hotel and raped from 9 pm to the next morning and dumped in the hotel room, where she cried until hotel attendants rescued her.


Speaking at the Magistrate Court Abagana after a court session, Ijeoma said she prayed all night reminding the pastor of the consequence of his act, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

The victim came to the court aided as a result of the injuries she sustained during the alleged act.

According to her, “It started on a Tuesday when I went to the church for prayers. I have not been hearing clearly with my ears for sometime, so I went to the pastor for prayers and when I told him my problem, he said I should stay behind that he will pray for me after everyone has gone”.

She continued that, “After the session that day, he called me to the backyard and started praying for me. He poured anointing oil into my ear and mouth. He now ordered me to remove my dress and he poured some on my tummy and started massaging it. After sometime, he started putting his hand inside(Vagina), to which I objected. He said he will leave me if I do not want him to pray for me”.


Ijeoma narrated that as usual the pastor had asked her to stay behind, that he will conduct a special prayer for her and her hearing will be okay again.

“After the service, only he and his friend were left, he said he will take me to the house and pray for me, but when I objected and told him that my father will kill me, he said I should not mind that nothing will happen to me.

“He took me to a hotel, ran upstairs and came back and ordered me and his friend to come with him. He took us up and put his friend in another room and took me to a separate room. He ordered food for me and hot drink, to which I objected. He said the drink was part of the deliverance that I had to drink it. He forced it down my throat and when I started to feel sleepy he undressed me and inserted his ‘something’ into me; then he started pushing it in and pushing out.

“Even when blood was gushing out of me, he continued to push the ‘thing’ inside. I tried shouting but he covered my mouth, when I could not help myself, I started praying and telling him of the implication of what he was doing to me before God but he kept on”.

She said she was only freed the next morning when she regained consciousness and started banging the door of the hotel room asking for assistance.

Though Ijeoma said she complained to her mum when she got back after the first incident, her mum, Mrs Ifeoma who also spoke to DailyPost said she confronted the pastor the next day and he denied putting his hand under the girls pant, claiming he was only praying for her; a defense which led the gullible woman to accept that the pastor meant well.

She stated that the truth, however, dawned on her on the following Tuesday when her daughter went to the same church and failed to return home.

“I thought she had been kidnapped, in fact I believe this is also kidnap”, she told our reporter.

A copy of medical report issued to her by the Chief Medical Officer of Enugu Ukwu General Hospital, Dr J.O Akuka which her parents showed to our reporter revealed that she sustained bruises, and a torn hymen.

This showed that there was a penetration in her vagina.

Ijeoma’s father pleaded with the relevant authorities to help her find justice for her innocent daughter who was violated by a man she trusted to be a Man of God, as the matter is currently before a Magistrate court in Abagana.

He told our reporter that the pastor had allegedly offered him N500, 000 to keep sealed lips, an offer he rejected, but expressed fears that the pastor may use the money to subvert justice.

The pastor, Rev Otisi, who is the senior pastor of a branch of Rhema Church in Abagana refused to make comments when he was approached.

His counsel, Barr CC Achi, however, said that the matter was only being engineered by unseen hands from behind as his client occupied a land that is in dispute.

“The issue here is land dispute, but these people are being used by someone who is in tussle over a piece of land with our client. On a separate allegation of being previously charged with the rape of 8-year-old in his church, the lawyer said it was not true, adding that it was meant to paint his client in bad light.

IslamNSCIA Declares Wednesday Eid-el-fitri Day In Nigeria by Everfrank(op): 5:47am On Jul 05, 2016
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has declared Wednesday, July 6, as Eid-el-Fitr day in Nigeria.
The President-General of the organisation, and Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, who made the announcement, said the new moon of Shawwal had not been sighted anywhere in Nigeria.
He therefore enjoined muslims in the country to fast on Tuesday and observe the eid prayers on Wednesday.
The NSCIA had on Sunday asked every Muslim in the country to look for the new moon between Sunday and Monday for the Eid el-Fitri.
The Secretary-General of the council, Is-haq Oloyede in a statement on Sunday, said the council, under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, enjoined all Muslims to look for the moon.
Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and a few other countries had earlier announced Wednesday as Eid-el-Fitri day in their various countries.
Eid-el-Fitri celebrations are used to mark the end of the month-long Ramadan fast.

CrimeWhy We Arrested Omisore – EFCC by Everfrank(op): 5:31am On Jul 04, 2016
A leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, was arrested for his alleged role in the #Dasukigate, the EFCC has said.
The spokesperson of the anti-graft agency, Wilson Uwujaren, told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Omisore was arrested as part of investigation into a case of receiving and misappropriating N700 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, between June and November, 2014.
Sambo Dasuki, who was the National Security Adviser during the period, is currently being prosecuted by the EFCC for allegedly spearheading the $2.1 billion scandal popularly referred to as #Dasukigate.
Mr. Omisore was arrested on Sunday morning in Abuja, a family source told PREMIUM TIMES.
The EFCC spokesperson said the commission secured a court warrant for Mr. Omisore’s arrest.
The EFCC in March declared Mr. Omisore wanted for his alleged roles in the scandal. In response, Mr. Omisore, who was the PDP candidate in the last Osun governorship election, threatened to sue the anti-graft agency for N500 million damages for defamation.
Mr. Omisore’s arrest occurs weeks after the EFCC froze the Zenith Bank account of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti. Mr. Fayose was the PDP candidate in Ekiti at the time Mr. Omisore was the party’s candidate in Osun. While Mr. Fayose won his election and is the current governor, his Osun counterpart lost his. Both men are believed to have benefitted from the #Dasukigate during the time of their elections; an allegation they’ve both denied.
PDP condemns arrest
The PDP on Sunday condemned Mr. Omisore’s arrest and accused the anti-graft agency of being biased.
In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday evening, Diran Odeyemi, PDP spokesman in Osun State, said Mr. Omisore had a valid court injunction restraining the EFCC from arresting him.
“There’s a court injunction by senator Omisore against the EFCC not to be arrested,” he said. “We’re never aware that that judgment has been vacated especially on Sunday. It’s very unfortunate that the EFCC is carrying out its assignment in a way that suggests its persecuting the opposition.”
Mr. Odeyemi said the PDP would approach the court for Mr. Omisore’s bail on Monday.
“Today is Sunday, by tomorrow, everything would be more clearer and we’ll have to go to court to enforce his fundamental human right,” he said.

CultureSupreme Court Upholds Right Of Female Child To Inherit Properties In Igboland by Everfrank(op): 5:16am On Jul 04, 2016
The Supreme Court has voided the Igbo law and custom, which forbid a female from inheriting her late father’s estate, on the grounds that it is discriminatory and conflicts with the provision of the constitution.

The court held that the practice conflicted with section 42(1)(a) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution. The judgment was on the appeal marked: SC.224/2004 filed by Mrs. Lois Chituru Ukeje (wife of the late Lazarus Ogbonna Ukeje) and their son, Enyinnaya Lazarus Ukeje against Mrs. Cladys Ada Ukeje (the deceased’s daughter).

Cladys had sued the deceased’s wife and son before the Lagos High Court, claiming to be one of the deceased’s children and sought to be included among those to administer their deceased’s father’s estate.

The trial court found that he was a daughter to the deceased and that she was qualified to benefit from the estate of their father who died intestate in Lagos in1981.

The Court of Appeal, Lagos to which Mrs. Lois Ukeje and Enyinnaya Ukeje appealed, upheld the decision of the trail court, prompting them to appeal to the Supreme Court.
In its judgment last Friday, the Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal, Lagos was right to have voided the Igbo’s native law and custom that disinherit female children.

Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, who read the lead judgment, held that “no matter the circumstances of the birth of a female child, such a child is entitled to an inheritance from her later father’s estate.

“Consequently, the Igbo customary law, which disentitles a female child from partaking in the sharing of her deceased father’s estate is breach of Section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution, a fundamental rights provision guaranteed to every Nigerian.

“The said discriminatory customary law is void as it conflicts with Section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution. In the light of all that I have been saying, the appeal is dismissed. In the spirit of reconciliation, parties to bear their own costs,” Justice Rhodes-Vivour said.

Justices Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, Claral Bata Ogunbiyi, Kumai Bayang Aka’ahs and John Inyang Okoro, who were part of the panel that heard the appeal, agreed with the lead judgment.

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: How To use Pay Tv Decoder to distribute Channels To Your Compound Neighbors by Everfrank(m):
ohiza:
Hugman let me ask U something, start from the decoders,what next after decoder den after stage by stage until the last stage of transmission...Thanks
1. Signal is transmitted via rf so decoders must have rf out port. A modulator must be used for decoders without rf out port.
2. If you can afford use a modulator per decoder for all the decoders for better video quality. A modulator converts AV video into rf video.
3. Take video with coaxial cable from rf out port, or from modulator, of each decoder to a combiner. A good splitter used in reverse will do. Assuming you have 16 decoders to shoot 16 channels you can use 5 pieces of new 4-way splitters. Using coaxial cable:
- connect one splitter to the signal-in of your mixing booster in reverse order. A 42db alcad booster or a 20db telavees booster will do.
-then connect your four remaining splitters to the four points on the first splitter also in reverse order. That will give you 4×4=16 points where you'll fix(mix) your signal inputs from 16 decoders, or from modulators as the case may be.
Mixing of decoders is a task that requires patience and time. It's easier if you are using modulators. Those akewu astel modulators of 4k each will do just fine.
Below mixing guideline is without modulator.
- get a good tv with functioning remote control preferably LG. LG displays the number of each rf channel on the screen for easy mixing.
- connect one coaxial cable line from your mixing booster output to the rf in at the back of your nearby tv- with a tv plug.
- your decoders are to be mixed in one after the other. On the TV rf system the channels start from 21 up.
You'll need a female tv plug for each decoder. Buy the iron type. A pack of f-connectors and one good AV wire. Mixing is after all your 16 decoders are functional with their signals and are showing your desired channels.
1. Power on your first decoder and connect it to the TV using the AV wire.
2. With the decoder remote press menu and enter system setting. Scroll down and select UHF and change the number to 21. Save and exit.
3. Change the tv input from AV to RF.
4. Use d tv remote and enter menu of then setting and search the tv. If you are very conversant with searching tvs then use manual search as its flexible and faster for mixing work. Otherwise select auto search and wait.
4. After searching then your first decoder will appear on the TV as channel one(with uhf number 21).
5. Then check the video for clarity. You may need to adjust the gain of your booster to get optimum video quality.
6. After your channel one is satisfactorily clear then you repeat step 1 to 4 for each decoder to mixed them.
7. The catch here is that each decoder must be on different uhf channel. As channel 21 is your first decoder put the second one at 23, the third one at 25, the fourth one at 27, the fifth one at 29 and so on. The rule is as you start with an odd number then use odd numbers for all decoders. Ditto for even numbers. This gives a gap of one number between d decoders to prevent jamming and interference.
You'll have to be patient as some decoder will outshine others. This is because you are using assorted decoders with different clarity strength. It's better to place decoders with the sharpest video last and vice versa.
After all your decoders are mixed harmoniously then you shoot your signal out. It can reach 100 meters then boost it and continue.

There will be more hints for anybody that has reached this stage. Just ask questions.

PoliticsAdvice To Niger Delta Avengers: Keep On Keeping On by Everfrank(op): 12:44am On Jun 14, 2016
Pls don't listen to anybody advising you against pipeline vandalization. Keep it up. Deal with Buhari(Pharaoh), APC & northern hegemony. Destroy your land so that the people of Katsina will suffer. Before you detonate the next bomb & blow up the next pipeline, think again.
The Ogoni land is getting cleaned up & soon commercial fishing will commence. Your friend in Enugu that is urging you on is going back to farm, Enugu will soon be one of the leading producers of banana & pineapple in the world in collaboration with a Mexican company.
Your friend in Lagos is urging you on to destroy ur land but he is going to Kebbi to get farmlands for rice farming. Meanwhile they have also started drilling oil in Lagos. Wait, Kebbi will soon feed the whole country & export. Tuta absoluta attacked Kano, Jigawa & some northern states & you catch cold in your Creek. Your brother in Edo will soon be supplying the whole country with tomatoes due to Igbinedion university.
Are you thinking already?
Norway want to eliminate all cars using fossil fuel by 2025.
The world is moving on my brothers. You think you are sabotaging Buhari but he is gradually settling down into govt. Boko haram has been largely decapitated & the world recognizes that. Anti corruption fight is progressing.
About 3 trillion naira was announced recently as recovered & frozen loots. That's money stolen by the love of your life. Money that could have been used to develop the Creek. Money that would have connected you with roads, bridges & other amenities.
They stole it & gave you guns to go into the Creeks. How many among the love of your life can spend a night with you where you are right now? Where are their children?
I heard your beloved PDP has zone presidency to the north for 2019 election. The same north you so much hate. The same north that is dominating you. Can't you see they are just deceiving you? You are not their concern. Their concern is the loots from the oil produced on your land.
They don't care if you destroyed the land. They have no plan to live there. How many refineries have they built for you with all the looting. They love you so much to keep you on 65k per month but cannot give you basic education to emancipate you. Are their children handling guns and sleeping in the creeks with you?
Pls don't drop your arms. Destroy the environment to get at Buhari. But when you are alone pls read this over again.
Dr Ben.

Re: Senator Ben Murray-Bruce:

"I was prevented from shaking hands with President Muhammadu Buhari while another Senator was allowed to shake Buhari's hand at the villa."

Senator Sola Adeyeye provides insight on what really transpired.

"I (Senator Sola Adeyeye) was at the dinner. I sat in the front row along with other Principal Officers of the National Assembly. I had a vantage view of what transpired. I am disappointed by this comment from a respected colleague. I have on two occasions provided robust defense of Senator Ben Murray-Bruce. Not this time!

It was Senator Dino Melaye who first went to greet those seated at the President's table, including President Buhari. He was well greeted. No one in the senate has criticized President Buhari more than Sen Melaye.

But as others rose to do what Dino had done, the scene got clumsy and indecorous because people were approaching the President's table from different directions.

I sat between Sen Olujimi and Sen Bwacha. The three of us felt embarrassed by what was clearly a breach of dinner protocol. At that level, if dinner was served or being served, good etiquette demanded that the President's table should not be approached. One should wait until people had finished eating. No senator in the USA would breach such elementary protocol.

We (on my table) predicted in whispers that colleagues would soon be barred from approaching the President's table and it happened. The first person to be turned back was Senator Barnabas Gemade who was visibly embarrassed. He belongs to the APC; he is not a known critic of the President.

When I noticed that most people had finished their food, I approached the table and offered my pleasantries. Others followed suit. No one was turned back."

~ Senator Sola Adeyeye.

Reactions:

- Senator Ben Murray-Bruce was mischievous and clever by half. He didn't state in his update on Facebook and Twitter that the incident took place during a presidential dinner hosted for Senators.

- Senator Ben Murray-Bruce made it seemed as if he went to the President's office and he was barred from seeing Mr President while another Senator was given unfettered access.

- Senator Dino Melaye clearly breached protocol. Who walks to the President's table to shake hands with him during state function? Only bushmen like Dino and Bruce Lee.

I hope all those who have taken to Twitter and Facebook to lash at President Muhammadu Buhari because of what Senator Ben Murray-Bruce made you believe, will be bold enough to shamefully retract your vile and bullous vituperation now that it has been established that President Muhammadu Buhari has nothing to do with the DSS preventing the #Commonsense Tweetnator from walking to the President's table to shake his hands.

PoliticsRe: Avengers, Where Were You During Jonathan's 6 Years As A President? by Everfrank(m):
modelmike7:
Letter To Niger Delta Avengers And Their
Supporters.
.
Before I start I have a few questions for you
supporters.
.
1. Where did the Niger Delta Struggle go to in the
last 6 years'
.
2. Why is there so much vandalization of oil facilities
off late'
.
3. Is it true you don't want Tompolo arrested
.
4. Is the allegations leveled on Tompolo true' If no,
why has he not honoured the invitation and if yes,
then the so called development money you are
looking for was outrightly swallowed by him.
.
Thank you, permit me to roll in my mind on the issue
on ground.
.
Before the emergence of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as
president, the likes of
Ankio Briggs,
Asari Dokubo,
OpunaboNkot 'Tariah,
Ledum Metee,
Edwin Clark etc were always on Television telling
Nigerians and the world how the South-South has
been marginalized by the North and the West
despiteher oil.
.
By divine and metaphysical error, Goodluck Jonathan
from the South-South, the presumed Nazareth of
Nigeria became the president of Nigeria after
President Umaru Yaradua's death in 2010.His
emergence came as a joyous daybreak to end our
age-long marginalization .
.
There was a beacon light of hope for my region.
Immediately, the Niger Delta struggle stumbled and
died or gone Comatose.
.
The Niger Delta activists mentioned above became
Jonathan's spokespersons and abandoned the
struggle. In 2011, Nigerians, Hausa,Yoruba, Igbo,
Christians and Muslims voted massively for Jonathan.
Thereafter, administrative thieves were appointed
Ministers and head of federal institutions,- Convicted
criminals received presidential pardon.- Militants
were given contracts running into billions of Naira.-
Impunity and corruption became the norm.
.
All these and many more replaced the Niger Delta
struggle for resource control. The need for constant
electricity, portable water, good health facilities,
good road network, massive manpower development
etc went into oblivion. Even the recent Ogoni UNEP
report that would have changed the live of an
average Ogoni man was not implemented by their
regional brother - president. Recall that NDDC was
established by Olusegun Obasanjo a Yoruba man.
Ministry of Niger and Amnesty Office was established
by Late,President Umaru Musa Yaradua, a Northerner.
Regrettably, this two federal agencies including
NIMASA and NNPC became conduit pipes for
Jonathan's Wife, Nyesom Wike, Deziani Allison,
Godswill Apkabio and many cronies of Jonathan to
Molest and siphon funds meant for the development
of the Niger Delta region.
.
Credibility died.
Equity died.
Competence died.
Due process died.
Conscience died.
.
And the Niger Delta struggle died in their son's hand.
.
Former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, knowing that the
South - South may not have the opportunity of
Producing the President of Nigeria again cried out
and they called him a betrayer. They fought him with
federal might and pushed him out of PDP, a replicate
of what Joseph's brothers did when they sold him to
the Ishmelites.
.
But today Amaechi is laughing because they pushed
him to stardom.
.
Even the East/ West road that was awarded by
former President Obasanjo and inherited by Yaradua
and later Jonathan is still not completed.
.
Bayelsa State today does not have an airport or a
strong federal government institution that can
generate employment opportunities for Bayelsa
youths. Few months to the Presidential election,
Ankio Briggs, Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark, Nyesom
Wike, Tompolo Government, Kingsley Kuku, etc
awaken the Niger Delta struggle.
.
What a shame, What an irony'
.
For five years nobody heard them because they were
swimming and sleeping on money. When Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan eventually contested and lost the
2015 Presidential election to Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari of the APC,the House of Assembly of all South-
South states became a compensation point for
militants ( Former and Active).Everything was done
with the police and INEC to ensure that cronies of
Jonathan and his wife were declared winners of the
governorship and House of Assembly elections in the
South-South especially Rivers State and Bayelsa.
.
And if Jonathan had won the last election and ruled
for another ten years, there won't be any hope for the
actualization of the Niger Delta Struggle.
Go to Oloibiri and other villages in Ijaw land and see
the level of environmental degradation yet their son
was president of Nigeria for six years.
.
People are living a stone-age life over there, no land
to build a house, no pipe borne water, no hospital, no
school and no road yet some people will seat in Abuja
and Portharcourt collecting billions of Naira as
Champions of the Niger Delta struggle.
.
I read some few days ago that the President has
directed the release of the funds meant for the clean
up of Ogoni Land. What their own son was reluctant
to implement after spending a whole six years in
office, but here is a man in less than 1 year set up a
committee to look into the delay and now they are
ripe to implement.
.
Who is fooling who? Are they fighting for the cause of
Niger Delta or their pockets?
.
When you bomb an oil installation, you put your own
people at risk health wise.
.
Your waters in the village is contaminated
.
You reduce the federal allocation to the state
.
You reduce power supply capacity.
.
Buhari does not stay in your village, he does not need
water to drink from your village, the power supply
any where he is will not blink a second even if you
decide to bomb your whole village. This is a
compendium or foolishness.
.
The people who will suffer from the mental selfish
exercise were not empowered the last 6 years, those
who benefited from the loots have squandered the
loots on women, drinks and landed property if not
why has Tompolo even after his bank account was
frozen and some of his property sealed by the federal
government, he still choose to be in hiding.
.
Niger Deltans Be Wise!
.
What Dr Goodluck could not give to them in the last
6 years, they now want Buhari to give them in 1 year.
Thanks op for this thought provoking article. What exactly are they avenging? A bunch of misguided youths.
