Ijebu-Ode (Ogun State) – Oba
Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale and
Paramount ruler of Ijebuland,
has urged the Federal
Government to improve the
welfare of the Nigerian Police for efficient service delivery. Adetona made the call when the
new AIG for Zone 2
headquarters, Lagos, Mr
Mamman Tsafe, paid him a
courtesy visit at his place in
Ijebu-Ode, on Thursday. The Awujale said there was no
way the Police could be efficient
in tackling insecurity without
good welfare packages as well
as the provision of modern
equipment to fight crime. “If the police are not provided
with good welfare packages,
communication gadgets,
sophisticated weapons as well
as patrol vehicles, then we
cannot expect much from them. “And I believe it is time for
government to be more serious
in the work of policing the
country, because the first
priority of any government is to
secure the lives and property of the citizens. “If all our budget will
go into security, so be it. It is time
government does all what is
necessary to solve the security
challenges in the country.“ Adetona also called for the
creation of state police, saying
that state Police would assist in
reducing the security challenges
in the country to the barest
minimum. “I want to suggest that the Police force should not be
centralised but rather, each
state should be allowed to have
its own police. ` `This will help in tackling the
rising insecurity challenges in the
country. “The Federal
Government should be in control
of the Army, Navy and Air Force
for the protection of the country as a whole, but states
should be allowed to be involved
in the Police formation.” The Awujale appealed to the
Federal government not to relent
in its efforts in fighting crime,
adding that no nation could
progress in tan environment of
insecurity. AIG Tsafe said his visit to the palace was to receive
royal blessing from the Awujale
for efficient service delivery in
the Zone. “ I am at the palace to be
blessed because I believe if I get
the blessing of the palace, I will
definitely succeed in whatever I
am going to do in the Zone. “The
traditional institution is a strategic institution that can
fight crime and so we have to
synergize with traditional
institution in that respect.” The AIG promised that the Police
in the zone would work toward
peace and security of lives and
property of the people. He called on the people to
corporate with the Police,
adding that security was a
collective responsibility of
everybody in the country.(NAN)

Lagos - The National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on
Thursday in Badagry, Lagos State,
publicly destroyed seized drugs valued
at N13.6 billion. The drugs include cannabis, heroin,
cocaine, ethamphetamine and
amphetamine. Mr Mitchel Ofoyeju, spokesman of the
agency disclosed this in a statement
made available to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. Ofoyeju said that among the drugs
destroyed were the heroin hidden in
woollen carpets and footballs as well
as other seized and forfeited
narcotics. According to Ofoyeju, the Chairman of
the agency, Ahmadu Giade, supervised
the exercise. "Any society that fails to destroy
drugs will end up being destroyed by
drugs. "Cannabis, like cocaine, heroin and
methamphetamine, has serious
consequences on health, economy and
security of a nation. "We shall not take any decision that
will ruin the future of our youths who
are the leaders of tomorrow. "Medical or recreational reasons are
not good enough for Nigeria to
legalise the use of cannabis. "Let it be made clear that Nigeria is
not considering legalising cannabis or
any other narcotic drugs for
recreational use. "The future of our youths is greater
than any recreational consideration,"
Ofoyeju quoted the chairman as
saying. He said that the event was witnessed
by stakeholders, including traditional
rulers, military officers, paramilitary
agencies, members of the National
Youth Service Corps and students.

A 57-year-old grandfather, Mr Isiaka Alli, was, on Thursday, named among 21 graduating students with first class degrees as 1,582 students graduated from the University of Ibadan (UI).

Alli, the elder brother of the chairman of Odu’a Conglomerate, Chief Sarafadeen Alli, graduated from the Faculty of Law and was also joint winner of the best graduating student for the 2011/2012 academic session.

He bagged his first degree 35 years ago and, thereafter, a second degree from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.

Alli’s feat enthralled the crowd at the graduation ceremony held in the Trenchad Hall, when he was called for a handshake with the vice chancellor, Professor Isaac Adewole.

He told newsmen that faith and the determination to move the country forward informed his enrolling to study Law in the university.

Speaking on the occasion, Professor Adewole blamed the low number of first degree holders on the graduation list to the disruption of the 2011/2012 academic calendar.

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic last night scored probably the ‘greatest goal ever’ to round off a crushing victory over England in the first match at his national stadium.

talented footballer’s remarkable overhead kick came when he was 30 yards from goal. He sprang six feet into the air to arch the ball over the helpless goalkeeper and into the net.

The world’s biggest football names are already queuing up to praise the goal, with even England’s gobsmacked stars hailing his achievement as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘world class’ as Sweden beat England 4-2 in the first match at their national stadium.

Four-goal burst unites Swedes

Ibrahimovic’s four-goal haul against England has given Swedes a timely reminder of the benefits of their multi-cultural society at a time of increasing support for anti-immigration parties.

“Just call it the Zlatan Arena,” wrote newspaper Expressen, after the Swedish captain scored four times – including an incredible angled bicycle kick – that gave Sweden a 4-2 win over England in an international friendly at the new Friends Arena.

His goal spree left coach Roy Hodgson beaten for the first time in 90 minutes as England manager. His only other setback was losing to Italy in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012.

Ibra’s goals came from across his broad register of skills – a classic poacher’s effort to open the scoring, a second where he chested the ball to himself and volleyed home, a thundering free kick and the bicycle kick in stoppage time that completed the scoring.

The goals also came on the day a politician from the far-right Sweden Democrats was forced to resign after a film showed him using offensive language about immigrants.

Sweden’s national soccer team has a number of players of different ethnic backgrounds including Ibrahimovic, who is of Bosnian and Croatian descent.

“They probably weren’t happy with that, the idiots,” second-half substitute Pontus Wernbloom told newspaper Sportbladet, referring to the Sweden Democrats. “I hope Zlatan shut them up.”

His midfield partner Kim Kallstrom also spoke to Sportbladet of Ibrahimovic’s value as a role model.

“With foreign-born parents and certain problems in society, he can hopefully unify the country in a very good way. Football builds bridges. He’s a modern Swede who stands for the new Sweden.”

In a column headlined “Sweden’s Pride”, Sportbladet columnist Simon Bank wrote: “We were in Zlatan’s arena. We come from Zlatan’s country. And if ever we needed symbols and leaders, it is now.”

Polls show that support for the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats has risen from six percent at the last election to 11 percent this week.

The country’s newspapers highlighted Ibrahimovic’s goals in the domestic political context while also delighting in the reaction of their English counterparts.

The British media have been slow to warm to the giant from Malmo as he previously has struggled against their sides in the Champions League but that came to an end at the Friends Arena.

Sportbladet’s London correspondent said it had been “my greatest moment in 10 years with the English press pack, and I just have Mr. Ibrahimovic to thank for that.”

Ibrahimovic told a news conference afterwards that the breath-taking bicycle kick was the best of his 39 goals for the national side, but it was the first one, the first goal in the new stadium, that gave him the most pleasure.

“I liked the first goal more, because it made history in a new arena. It’s not the best goal I have scored, but its the one I have enjoyed the most.”

True to form, he didn’t mention politics at all during the post—match press conference, preferring to let his feet do his talking for him on the
on the pitch.

Christian leaders have started reacting to
Pastor Tunde Bakare’s comments that a
revolution would consume religious leaders in
the country, and the way he condemned the
acquisition of jets by renowned Christian
leaders in Nigeria. One of those who reacted to Bakare’s
comments is the chairman of the Northern
Christian Elders Forum, Evangelist Matthew
Owojaiye, who said Bakare’s comments should
be ignored. Also, Apostle Isa El-Buba, the
General Overseer of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International, Jos, Plateau
State, defended preachers who own jets,
concluding that Bakare’s condemnation of
these men of God was blasphemous. According to El-Buba, “There is nothing wrong
for a preacher to own a jet. If people in the
secular world can acquire jets for chief
executive officers of big private enterprises,
there is nothing wrong in giving gifts to a man
of God of Pastor Oritsejafor’s standing. This is a man of God that travels across the whole
world. He deserves what he has been given.” Similarly, the General Secretary of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN),
Reverend Musa Asake, flayed Bakare, saying:
“What is wrong with giving a gift to Pastor
Oritsejafor? Did Pastor Oritsejafor embezzle
church money? Did he collect somebody’s money? Some people came together and
bought it for him so as to ease his work. This is
to help him to continue with the work of the
gospel. Oritsejafor is a man of God. He is
doing everything for the work of God… It is a
welcome idea. I support people who help ministers of the gospel in their work. He did
not go out to lobby for it. It was a surprise
for him. I was at that occasion. I saw things
myself,” he argued. Yet another Christian leader, Reverend Gideon
Oyibo, President of the Delta State Baptist
Conference, exonerated Pastor Oritsejafor,
saying there was nothing wrong with such
gesture. According to Oyibo, “The environment
influences the way people talk. If you come from a family background of poverty and a
member of the family is rich, people will
conclude that he is a ritualist. They will
conclude that he has stolen money, because in
that family, the members do not expect
anybody to be rich… In Nigeria, we have a traditional environment in which a pastor is
expected to operate by our own evaluation.
Whenever a pastor is living above our own
evaluation, then we can say anything about
that person… The question we should ask is
that: did Pastor Oritsejafor ask for the jet? Did he beg for it? Or was it that certain
people gathered together under the leading
of God and decided to buy it and present it
to him as a gift?”

MAIDUGURI— Gunmen, yesterday,
killed the Director of Design and
Construction in the Borno State
Ministry of Water Resources,
Mallam Ali Mohammed Sheriff in
Maiduguri, the state capital. Sheriff’s death is coming barely
24 hours after a Deputy Director
in the Ministry of Land and
Survey, Mallam Yerima and
another lecturer with the
Department of Geography, University of Maiduguri, Mr.
Babagana Kolo were trailed to
their houses and shot dead in
Maiduguri metropolis. Military Joint Task Force, JTF,
otherwise known as Operation
Restore Order had, last week
through its spokesman, Lt.-Col.
Sagir, said government officials
were now target of attacks by suspected terrorists. It was gathered that Ali was
trailed by his assailants to his
house, yesterday morning, and
shot in front of his house in
Mafoni ward as he was
preparing to go his office (Water House) in Maiduguri. A friend and colleague to late
Sheriff, who spoke on condition
of anonymity, described Ali’s
death as “unfortunate.” He said: “I am very disturbed with
the security challenges facing
our dear state. As I am talking to
you, we are coming from Gwange
Cemetery where we went to
bury the remains of our lovely and humble colleague, which we
miss dearly. “I pray that God Almighty will
grant the soul of the deceased
eternal rest.” In a related development, gunmen
suspected to be Boko Haram
members, shot and killed the
uncle (names withheld) to the
secretary of the clerk of Borno
State House of Assembly, Bakura Maina, in Abaganaram ward at
about 6.25pm earlier on Tuesday. An eyewitness said the deceased
was trailed to his house in the
evening; when people in the area
were performing their prayers in
a mosque and shot him dead. The eyewitness said: “We heard
gunshots towards the direction
of his house, and thought that it
was the JTF patrolling the area,
only to hear children crying from
the same direction. “People ran into their houses for
safety.” The Information Officer to the
Borno State House of Assembly,
Hajiya Kaltume Jafaru, confirmed
that the Assembly lost one of the
relations to the secretary to
clerk of the House, Tuesday, in Abaganaram ward, adding that
the deceased had since been
buried.

ECOWAS President, Mr Kadré Désiré Ouedraogo, who made the donation on behalf of the commission noted that the donation is in line with ECOWAS mandate to support and show solidarity with people of the sub-region who are going through a disaster.

According to him ECOWAS is the only sub-regional body with a comprehensive Disaster Risk Response strategy and the gesture is an expression of solidarity and goodwill from the rest of the people of the sub-region.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the Nigerian government the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Gbenga Ashiru said the gesture is a demonstration that members of the West African states are their brothers’ keepers.

He added that the donation will go a long way in helping to care for those that have been affected.

Onoyume, wife of Vanguard
correspondent in Rivers State, Mr. Jimitota Onoyume. Also, gunmen in a dawn attack in
the coastal settlement of
Ekpekiri in Nembe Local
Government Area of Bayelsa
State, yesterday, reportedly
kidnapped a renowned geologist, Chief Betrand Douglas. Mrs. Onoyume, a teacher, was
driving out of her residence
between 8.30am and 9.00am with
her two children in a Nissan
Quest bus, when four gunmen,
who were apparently loitering around the area, seized her. The gunmen reportedly
threatened and chased her two
daughters out of the vehicle
before whisking her away. The
children, aged nine and seven,
were being taken to school. A source said the kidnappers
fled, with her blindfolded,
through Salubi area of Eku. ‘We’re investigating’ Police spokesperson in the state,
Mr. Charles Muka, told Vanguard
when contacted, that the police
were investigating the incident. Mr. Onoyume said the kidnappers
later called him on phone with a
line belonging to his daughter,
but did not discuss anything with
him. He pleaded with security agents
in the state to trace the
kidnappers and ensure the
release of his wife. In a text message forwarded to
top security officials, the
troubled journalist said: “Good
morning. I am Jimitota Onoyume,
the Rivers State correspondent
of Vanguard newspaper. “I got a call that my wife, Mrs.
Marian Onoyume, was kidnapped
minutes ago at our residence in
Eku, Ethiope East Local

were already working on the
matter. “I pray that they release her
soon, we are journalists. We do
not have money to give to any
kidnapper, and we are only
managing ourselves.” Geologist abducted The kidnapped geologist in his

State Traffic Law began, motorists and commercial motorcycle (Okada) riders have complained of the excesses of traffic officials, especially the Police and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Well, it seems the state government has listened to our calls to curb their reported excesses and has ordered junior LASTMA officers to stop arresting erring motor-cycle riders and motorists in the state forthwith. According to Vanguard, the General Manager of LASTMA, Engr. Babatunde Edu, gave the order in his address at a public forum on the Law, organised by the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, at the weekend. According to Edu, the move was a spontaneous measure to respond to the complaints against aggressive law enforcement by junior officers. He urged the public to report any junior officer who victimises or harasses them, saying they have been stripped of the power to arrest. Speaking on how to distinguish between a junior officer and a senior officer, he said “You can easily identify the junior officer with black epaulet on their shoulders; they cannot arrest, only the senior ones with red epaulets on their uniforms can arrest. We have stopped the juniors from arresting motorists and okada riders except during a joint operation. That is the extent we have gone in checkmating aggressive enforcement of the law” So, next time a LASTMA Officer attempts to arrest you, be sure to look at his shoulder.

Abuja – President Goodluck
Jonathan has expressed sadness
over the death of elder
statesman and former governor
of Oyo State, Alhaji Lam Adesina. This is contained in a statement
issued by the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and
Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, in
Abuja on Sunday. The statement read: “on behalf
of himself, the Federal
Government and all Nigerians,
President Jonathan extends
heartfelt condolences to
Adesina’s family and the Government and people of Oyo
State. The president joined late
Adesina’s family, relatives,
friends, associates and all who
knew him in mourning the
renowned educationist and
political leader. Jonathan noted that the former
governor devoted his entire
adult life to working for the
progress of his people and the
nation. He believed that Adesina’s
indefatigability in political
struggles as well as his honesty,
integrity, sincere commitment
and dedication to the service of
his people before and during his tenure endeared him to all. According to him, Adesina will be
honoured and remembered by
present and future generations
as an exemplary leader who did
his utmost best to improve the
lives of his people. The president prayed that God
Almighty would receive Adesina’s
soul and grant him eternal rest.

I'm fat buh i can still see mine. Thank God.

Benin – Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of
Edo has explained that his
government took a tough stance
against erring teachers, because
even “the Bible says he who does
not work, does not eat.’’ Oshiomhole said this at an Inter-
denominational Service
organised by the Christian
Association of Nigeria(CAN) for
him in Benin City on Saturday, as
part of activities to usher in a second tenure in office on
Monday. Oshiomhole said he prays to God
everyday to have the courage
to do the right thing for the
people of the state. The service attracted the cream
of the society in Edo State
including former Head of state,
General Yakubu Gowon,
chieftains of the Action Congress
of Nigeria, market women, Youths and students. The event was held at the hard
court of the Samuel Ogbemudia
stadium. On the plea by the Chairman of
the CAN, Edo Chapter, Bishop
Peter Imasuen, for the recall of
the sacked teachers, Oshiomhole
said: “the prayer I ask for
everyday is for God to give me the courage and wisdom to take
the right decision. “The Chairman of CAN has asked
me to undo all that we have done.
I am a Catholic and every day I
ask God to forgive me my sins,
even as I forgive those who sin
against me. “ I appreciate the power of
forgiveness but the Bible says the
labourer deserves his wages and
the Bible also says that those
who do not work should not eat. “ And these are the challenges of
leadership. The Bible also tells us
that if a finger leads you to
commit sin, it is better to cut it
off. “ If a teacher would lead us to
commit sin we better dismiss that
teacher. “For Edo to work, all its parts
must work. Every man and woman
of age must work. That is why I
take my work seriously. “Every leader must device the
right means under the guidance
of God to deploy the carrot and
the stick. “Just as much as you desire to
honour or reward those who
helped to deliver service,you must
also find the courage to bring to
line those who think they can
earn without working” he explained. Oshiomhole, remarked that the
courage to do the two was
what he asked for and the
courage to define the limit, and
that “is what has guided me”. The Governor said “it is
important that I also clarify that
it hurts me when I have to say to
a man who voted for me only
four months ago that his job is
over. “Ninety- eight percent of those
teachers or more voted for me. I
actually met some of them and
know some by their names . “I know they are relations of ACN
leaders. Even yesterday, I learnt
that one is the wife of a very
senior ACN leader, a very
personal friend. “But my understanding of my
brief is that, if I don’t have the
courage to instil discipline in our
public service, the capacity of
the government to deliver will be
severely weakened”. Oshiomhole, explained that all
those beautiful schools will come
to naught if the teachers are in
Onitsha when they are supposed
to be in the classroom, adding
that “I worry about the future of our state. “If we must have a work force
that would produce men and
women who have the capacity
and the skill to contribute to the
growth and development of
Nigeria.. “We must pay maximum attention
to access, quality of public
schools with teachers that are
ready to teach and impact
knowledge in an environment
that is enabling” the governor noted. In his message, Most Rev.(Dr.)
Friday John Imakhai said the
victory of the governor and his
deputy were well deserved. He said “in view of the
monumental and positive impact
of the policies of his
administration on the lives of the
people of the state, evident in all
spheres of our common life. “ It was a leadership predicated
on a well thought out and
faithfully executed vision and
transformation of the state”. The Cleric. who took his text
from 2nd Kings, Chapter 18 v 1:8
with the theme: “Godliness in the
Act of Governance” said the
governor’s visionary leadership
was there for all to see. “The massive votes of the people
were an expression of your vision
and a clear mandate to enable
you continue the good work you
have started. “What the people saw in Edo was
purpose driven and result
oriented leadership poised
towards good governance and
service delivery, rather than
leadership reduced to a huge joke. “Good governance is
participatory, consensus
oriented, achievement oriented,
accountable, responsive. By
implication the views of the
minority are taken into consideration in the process of
decision making.” In his remark, Gowon expressed
delight that the people of Edo
voted massively for the governor. Gowon said: “I am here not only
to congratulate the governor
but the good people of Edo
State for casting their votes for
him to be governor for a second
time. “It is certainly the choice of God.
The result of the election shows
that it is one of the best in the
country. “It reminds me of the support I
had during the Nigeria crisis.
Bendel State was one of the
states that gave me the greatest
support.” Gowon also expressed
confidence in the ability of the
governor. “I can assure you that he would
do his best to surpass what he
did in the first term.” He told the governorm, “you
should look higher after this.
That is our prayer.” The church later said special
prayers for the Governor and
family, the Deputy Governor and
his family, the Judiciary and
Legislature, the nation, the Oba
of Benin and Traditional Rulers.

True talk bro.

THE senior pastor of Daystar
Christian Centre Lagos, Pastor Sam
Adeyemi, has refuted media reports
linking him with ownership of a
private jet. He said it is completely false and
untrue that he owns a private jet. Adeyemi described the reports as
mere rumours without any iota of
truth. Speaking with reporters yesterday
during the annual Excellence in
Leadership (ELC) conference of the
church, the host of the popular
Success power radio show said: “I do
not own a private yet.” He added: “It is a rumour that has
been there for sometimes, especially
in the junk media. “It is becoming a source of concern
now that reputable magazines and
newspapers are saying the same
thing. “I take it as a prayer and say amen
but I won’t say more than that.” He called for evolution of the Nigerian
dream to get the nation out of the
wood. Until such a dream becomes a national
identity, he said Nigeria will move
nowhere. He explained: “The whole of America
has a clear vision, which they call the
American dream. “The question is: what is the Nigerian
dream? It is when you define that
dream that an average Nigerian
knows how to fit in. “Nigeria has no dream or clear-cut
vision of what Nigeria will become in
the future. “There is none. Without that vision, we
are not going anywhere. “We need a vision, a Nigerian dream
that all of us must tap into. Just
tarring roads is not enough. We need
a composite picture of the future of
Nigeria.”

Security consultant, Olatubosun Abolarinwa has described Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to speak for Boko Haram as a “bit of shock” to him. Considering the devastating impact the
insurgency staged by the sect has had on the
northern part of the country and the nation
as whole, Mr Abolarinwa opined that
negotiation is a key part of curbing terrorism. Boko Haram had earlier in the week named
General Buhari amongst the team that will
speak for it in a planned negotiation with the
federal government, ahead of a ceasefire. But the offer was rejected by the former
military Head of state, who claimed he does
not know anything about the group nor does
he believe in their ideology. The security consultant who was a guest on
Sunrise Daily from our Abuja studio stated
that the Retired Major-General should give
more explanations on why he wants more lives
to be lost in the country via the bombings and
attacks by the sect, noting that thousands of Nigerians, ranging from children to adults
have been killed in the last three years of the
insurgency.
