Lagos lawyer and human rights activist, Mr Femi Falana (SAN) has accused the Federal Government of not deeming it fit to commiserate with the remaining four who died in a naval chopper that crashed in a swampy location in the Nimbe local government area of Bayelsa state on Saturday, December 16, 2012 killing also General Andrew Owoye Azazi and Governor Patrick Yakowa.

Falana said: “Since the naval chopper which crashed in a swampy location in the Nimbe local government area of Bayelsa state on Saturday, December 16, 2012 killing all the six people on board the impression has been conveyed by the Federal Government that only two people- General Andrew Owoye Azazi and Governor Patrick Yakowa lost their lives”.

He pointed out that President Goodluck Jonathan and other government officials have since paid condolence visits to the bereaved families of  General Azazi and Governor Yakowa, noting that apart from  such  condolence visits the Federal Government has been involved in the burial programmes  of  the two VIPs.

“Notwithstanding that some members of the families of the deceased pilots and aides have complained of official neglect  the Federal Government has not deemed it fit to commiserate with them for losing their loved ones in an avoidable plane crash” Falana added.

LAGOS (AFP) – Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo has lashed out at Peter Odemwingie for being disrespectful after the West Bromwich Albion striker said the country does not have a team leader.

Odemwingie said via Twitter that recent Eagles captains have only looked out only for themselves and so the team lack a leader.

Yobo has now hit back at his national teammate, who was sensationally dropped from the squad for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa

“Osaze has been reckless, disrespectful to most people. He’s not a kid, he should grow up because we cannot continue to baby sit him. He is responsible for his problems,” Yobo told Lagos radio Brila FM on Friday.

“This is not the first time he has been disrespectful. He is fighting all the coaches and at the World Cup he also disrespected me and he later apologised.

“He is not the (Lionel) Messi or (Cristiano) Ronaldo of Nigeria. He should look himself in the mirror.”

The Fenerbache star gave credit to coach Stephen Keshi for the provisional squad he picked for the AFCON, while admitting that he was surprised Obafemi Martins, Osaze, Taye Taiwo and Kalu Uche were not considered.

“I will give him credit for the squad. He will score 95 percent even though one or two should have been there,” said the former Everton defender.

“I’m sure he would have had some sleepless nights in selecting his team. Kalu Uche, Martins, Taye and Osaze not being there was a surprise but the coach must have his reasons and he cannot call everybody.”

Yobo also admitted that at 32 this is most likely his last AFCON.

“I think I have to admit it that this may be my last Nations Cup. We have to allow younger players to get their chance,” said the central defender, who has featured in five Nations Cups.

http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/update-fire-my-home-%E2%80%98minor%E2%80%99-incident-obasanjo-says
Former Nigeria President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has described the fire at his Abeokuta home on Thursday as a minor one which only affected the office of his Personal Assistant.
Obasanjo, who was not at home at the time, was not sure of the cause of the incident, telling the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), “It may have been some electrical problem.”
NAN quoted him as saying of the incident, “Ile Obasanjo to jo e wa lo bu si,’’ which means, “The fire incident will only add beauty to Obasanjo's house.”
Observers say that as one of Nigeria’s wealthiest men, Obasanjo clearly meant that he will take the opportunity to upgrade the quality of the edifice.
According to the general himself, when he left prison in 1998 he was worth only N20,000 (about $1300). He left office in 2007 an astoundingly rich man. Even his farm, which was dying during his imprisonment, was in November 2004 confirmed by his spokesman, Femi Fani-Kayode to have recovered during his presidency and to be making about N30 million ($250.000) per month.
It would be an irony of sorts should the fire in his mansion today be traced to an “electrical” fault. In his eight years in power, Obasanjo frittered about $16 billion into the hands of contractors and associates in “search” of electricity. None of the money has been accounted for, and the House of Representatives found that some of those who received money did not even clear the land on which they were supposed to have been conducting business or building power plants.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/12/npa-board-presidency-defends-anenihs-appointment/
LAGOS — The Presidency, yesterday, defended the appointment of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees member, Chief Tony Anenih, as the Chairman of the new Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA.

Special Adviser on Public Affairs to the President, Dr. Doyin Okupe, who addressed a press conference in Lagos, yesterday, also denied reports credited to President Goodluck Jonathan of having admitted that his administration was slow, saying the criticisms spawned by the reports were needless.

According to Okupe, what the President meant in his Christmas message was that in the estimation of the opposition, his administration was slow, but that the regime was taking its time not to make costly mistakes.

Okupe also dismissed the argument by opposition parties that the President was not prepared to lead the nation, saying no other Nigerian leader could match him in terms of public office experience and intellectual capacity, given that he holds a doctorate degree.

We ‘ll not be intimidated by negative propaganda

On the appointment of Chief Anenih, which has drawn widespread criticisms, especially from the opposition parties,  Okupe said: “There are enough professionals in the NPA to run the authority. You bring in outsiders and politicians as board members, to moderate whatever the professionals do.

“There are enough technical people even on this same board. There are mandatory technical people. We are not going to be intimidated by the negative propaganda against Anenih.

“What has Anenih done wrong? Many people hate Anenih because they call him Mr. Fix It for Obasanjo. He is a politician. He knows how to do what he does. What is wrong with that?

“Is he guilty of murder? Is he guilty of rape? Has he stolen money? What has he done wrong? What some people will say is that he spent N300 billion on roads (without much to show). I don’t want to hold brief for Anenih. But that is an erroneous thing.


Chief Anenih & President Jonathan
On N300bn  spent on roads by Anenih

“What happened that year was that the Federal Government budgetted N300 billion for roads. But the money was never released to the Ministry of Works. There are a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation, and government, before now, has failed to engage the public, to explain the concrete issues. Many things are perceived. Like this one, they are taken as true, and over the years, they take root in the hearts of some people, and so people believe the man is a thief.”

Jonathan reduced insurgency by 70% in 2012

Okupe said the Jonathan administration is succeeding in containing the Boko Haram insurgency, both in terms of number of attacks and frequency, and buttressed this with statistics between January and November, this year.

According to him, citing newspaper reports and security agencies as sources, eight attacks were recorded in January, nine in February, seven in March, eight in April, five in May, seven in June, six in July, five in August, four in September, seven in October, four in November.

He also dismissed the argument in certain quarters that inadequate intelligence was responsible for the attacks by the Boko Haram sect, saying the capacity of the nation’s security agencies in this regard, and the equipment that have been acquired for this astonish even foreign powers considered to be leaders in this area.

Said he: “Due to the increased capacity of security agencies in the area of intelligence gathering, I can report that over 70 per cent of planned insurgent attacks were foiled before actualisation. These are largely unreported because they did not happen and this is a good thing.

“The intelligence arm of our security agencies has deployed massive modern technology to preempt and destabilise these criminal elements who intended causing harm.”

He said while government had not completely ruled out the issue of negotiation with the Boko Haram sect, it would not hold talks with anyone whose leadership of the group is in doubt or who remains under a mask.

2013 ‘ll be Nigeria’s year of glory

On the incoming year, Okupe said: “The year 2013 will be Nigeria’s year of glory; a year of our manifestation. It will be the year of many changes in all facets of life. President Jonathan will fix Nigeria.

“There will be a very significant forward progress in the economy of Nigeria through massive job creation in the different sectors, which will lead to wealth creation and massive reduction in criminal activities. The President is committed to delivering on his pact with the Nigerian people as contained in his Transformation Agenda.


Anenih
“He is unwavering in that commitment and will, by the grace of God, take this nation to a greater destination. Nigerians must not despair. There is a glorious tomorrow for this great nation.”

He said this outgoing year had not been that of gloom and doom as some people would want Nigerians to believe, and enumerated several successes recorded by the administration in the power, agriculture, security and infrastructure sectors.

Challenges met by the administration

According to him, most of the challenges met by the administration in the power sector, including high incidence of transmission losses, low collection efficiency, speedy regression of previous generation gains, and inadequate gas supply have been effectively addressed.
He said: “As I speak to you, most of the challenges earlier identified have been resolved while others are receiving due attention of the Federal Government. Above 95 per cent of the10 IPPs (Independent Power Projects) have been completed. Our power generation has hit an all time high of 4,502 megawatts.”

According to him, the limitations imposed by inadequate transmission infrastructure are being tackled, while funding for the expansion of gas supply plants has been made available.
He said, with the projected generation of a minimum of 7,000 megawatts by the middle of 2013 as well as the effective privatization of the distribution and generation subsectors, and the commercialization of the transmission arm of the power sector, “economic activities are bound to receive significant boost in the coming year.”

On agriculture sector

On the agriculture sector, while lamenting that Nigeria imported N500 billion worth of rice in 2011, he said 14 new rice mills with capacity to process 240 metric tons of rice were set up by the private sector this year, while the Federal Government secured $1.2 billion to install 100 large scale rice processing mills to produce 2.1 million metric tons of rice annually.

“Today, Nigeria has reached an unprecedented 60 per cent sufficiency in rice production, a feat which the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) recently described as capable of raising world rice output to a record high in the next 12 months.”

A general hospital in Adamawa that serves three local governments has only one medical doctor.
 
The Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, Thursday, advised Nigerians who travel abroad for medical treatment to desist and instead come to Adamawa State.
Mr. Nyako said this in Yola while receiving a traditional ruler, the Gang Wari of Ganye, Umaru Sanda, who paid him homage.
The governor said that the state government would promote health tourism by inaugurating the Adamawa-German Diagnosis Centre at Yola in 2013.
Mr. Nyako said that the development would not only improve health service delivery in the state, but also generate revenue and reduce high cost of foreign health tourism.
“Latest high medical facilities including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and laboratory diagnostics facilities are provided at the centre and will start operation very soon,” Mr. Nyako said.
He said that facilities at the centre would compete favourably with any first class hospital in the world.
“This time around, Nigerians don’t need to go to India, Egypt or anywhere else for health tourism, we have enough here,” the governor  said.
Many Nigerians, particularly political office holders  travel abroad for both simple and serious ailments. Some of the recent travelers to foreign countries for treatment include the Senate President, the Enugu State Governor, the Cross River State Governor, and the Nigerian First Lady.
Mr. Nyako said that the state government and the German Hospital had signed agreement on medical experts’ exchange programme where some medical specialists from Germany would come on working visit periodically.
The governor, who allocated N3.9 billion for the health sector in the 2013 budget, said that the development would help in the provision of facilities for primary healthcare delivery.
While Mr. Nyako was promising a world class medical facility in 2013, the traditional ruler told him that one of the state’s general hospital, which serves hundreds of thousands of people , has only one medical doctor.
 
Hitch free Christmas
Mr. Sanda appealed to the state government to deploy medical doctors and qualified nurses to the Ganye General Hospital.
At present, the hospital, which serves three local government areas,  Ganye, Toungo and Jada, has only one medical doctor, he said.
The traditional ruler also said there was “a hitch-free Christmas celebration in Ganye Chiefdom as no single security threat was reported.”
“Both Christians and Muslims in Ganye celebrated the Christmas festival together and this is an indication of a cordial relationship among the people of the area,” he said.
