acclaimed leader of Yorba nation Awolowo is a Sudanese same with Mike Adenuga says Awujale of Ijebu land

In an interview with P.M.NEWS in his palace at Ijebu Ode, the monarch, when reminded of his claim in 1983 that the Ijebus are from Waddai in Sudan, said every tribe in the country migrated from somewhere.

Says Oba Adetona: “Let me tell you, there are ways of settlements, even before Oduduwa came to Ile-Ife, Ife was already in existence. All you just have to do is go to history books, you’ll see all these things there.�

Reminded that the statement is often used against the Ijebus with people regarding them as aliens, Awujale described such act as rubbish, saying “how can they use it against the Ijebus? Who is using it against them? What about others? Are they not from other areas before they settled here?�

Oba Adetona who marked his 76 birthday on 10 May, 2010 said no Nigerian has any right to use the source of migration against another as it is evident all over the world that everybody has his or her roots.

In his royal message, the Awujale advised traditional rulers to steer clear of partisan politics as it is obvious that their subjects can never belong to the same political party and a royal father must not seen to be taking sides.

He told P.M.NEWS that his memorable encounter with the first civilian governor of Ogun State, the late Chief Olabisi Onabanjo, in 1983 occupies a chapter in his book that will be launched tomorrow at the grand finale of his coronation anniversary at the Gateway International stadium, Ijebu-Ode.

On the clash between him and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunabde Sijuade, Oba Adetona said: “Don’t forget, people try to say we have differences, no, not at all. I am the Awujale of Ijebuland, my instrument of office says so. Ooni is Ooni of Ile-Ife, the instrument of office given to him states so.

“All the claims he is making now are not correct, they are not tenable. The first time the Obas ever met in Yorubaland was in 1937. Before then, they never met, so I think the man is playing politics, trying to over price himself,� Awujale explained.

Asked if they’ve both met of recent, the paramount ruler exclaimed: “Where and for what!?�

He stressed that they were not competing for anything and he has no cause to go to Ile-Ife just as Ooni has no mission in Ijebuland.

Aguleri or Aro is only known to you and other igbos not to the entire world. I have never seen a Nigerian/Biafran saying im relocating to Aguleri or i got new job in Aguleri.
WITH THE LEVEL OF IGBO EXPOSURE, EDUCATION, TRAVEL, ABILITY EVEN THE NOISE MAKING, THEY HAVE NO CITY LIKE PH, LAGOS OR ABUJA. Its very shameful.

Most cities and villages in east are sparsely populated with no sign of foreigners. This is a big issue that need to be addressed as well as high unemployment in the region. Most igbos have better job and businesses outside their region.

Some of us had made it clear ever since that we want a Biafra or a confederation but Kanu's approach was no option for several seasons;

..


1) Kanu never consulted with other agitators for Biafra on the way forward even if they started the agitation before him, he felt his words were yea and amen.
2) Kanu insulted the Catholic Church on several occasions. Remember our people are far too Catholic
3) Most of our parents and grandparents who witnessed the last war never pray for such again, many never want to even talk about it because of the deprivation they suffered, Kanu never saw the war himself and not seeing the need to convince them why they should head into another, most of these veterans of the last war reside in Alaigbo.
4) Kanu prays in a strange language they seem not to understand; Chukwu Okike Abiama, this Jewish one too and most people seem not to understand the switch from Jesus name because this is what they've learnt, just change with no explanation.
5) Elected Igbo leaders though some found wanting here and there, Kanu goes on bastardising them, not knowing the people love them
6) Kanu never knew there are far more MASSOB sympathisers in Alaigbo than IPOB sympathisers.
7) Kanu's love for vile words.

You are one out of millions of Igbos seeking for Biafra, stop seeking for attaintion please.

Whether 13% or 50% derivation no state can be compare to Anambra in terms of wealth and human resourses, you guys can rants online till tomorrow it change nofin, Anambra has strong economy without oil.

NEWS THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.
Obiano’s Educational Reforms and Anambra’s Chart-topping Performances

In his back-page column for Thisday on Thursday last week, which he devoted to the Multina Teacher of the Year Awards, ace columnist, Segun Adeniyi made a striking observation. Surprised by the outstanding performance of teachers who represented Anambra State in the contest, Adeniyi observed – “There is something that the Anambra State Education authorities must be doing right not only because it is the state where many of the teachers scored above average. Perhaps that accounts for why candidates from the state continue to come tops in WAEC examinations every year.”

Adeniyi is not alone in his bewilderment. Many Nigerians are curious about Anambra’s recent string of sparkling performances in education. Mrs. Rose Nkemdilim Obi who teaches Mathematics in an all-girls college in Onitsha defeated her fellow teachers from nineteen other states of the federation to win this year’s edition of Multina Teacher of the Year Awards. Giving a rare insight into the brightness of her mind, Mrs Obi, a passionate teacher told the panel of five prominent academics and a columnist that decided the contest that “Teaching is a noble profession. It is a calling. It is a commitment to building the nation.” Nothing could have captured the weight of the true importance of teachers to society better than that.

The six judges, made up of Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Mopelola Omeogun of Univeristy of Lagos, Prof. Thomas Ofuya, Vice Chancellor of Wellspring University, Benin, Prof. Tijani Abubakar of ABU, Zaria, Dr Mrs Fatima Binta Abdulrahman and Segun Adeniyi of Thisday, were thoroughly impressed by Mrs Obi’s overall brilliance in the contest and were unanimous in the decision to give her the award.

Interestingly, two days after Nkemdilim Obi’s emergence as the Best Teacher in Nigeria, Team Anambra also emerged winners of the national Pre-basic Debate Competition held in Abeokuta, Ogun State to mark Nigeria’s 55th Independence Anniversary. Interestingly too, Anambra had won the same contest last year and subsequently flew the Nigerian flag in Singapore in June this year at the World Schools Debate Championship. The team was made up of Adachukwu Onyekwena from Girls Secondary School, Amaenyi, Awka, Nnamdi Udoji from Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha, Chinemerem Oguaba from Awada Secondary School, Obosi, Chukwuebuka Obichi from Army Day Secondary School, Onitsha and Nneka Chigozie from Mater Ammabillis Secondary School, Umoji; all public schools located in different parts of the state. The consistency that Anambra State has achieved in this credible contest of intellectual promise is re-assuring.

[b]Anambra has also shown same striking promise in external examinations, coming first in WAEC and NECO examinations for three consecutive years. T[/b]he fascinating thing about the rise of Anambra is that the young students who have brought repeated honours to the state in national and international debate championships were all drawn from public schools.
Well, for Adeniyi and other interested Nigerians who are wondering where Anambra’s performance is coming from, wonder no more. The answer is simple. Anambra State prides itself as the Light of the Nation. In figurative and literal sense, Anambra cannot be said to be anything less. Not after giving the world the great Zik of Africa, Emeka Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, Chike Obi, Chimamanda Adichie, Emeka Anyaoku, Christopher and his brother Pius Okigbo, Prof. Samuel Okoye, Dora Akunyili, Chukwuma Soludo, Chuka Umunna, James Adichie, Ben Enweonwu and a whole universe of amazing scholars, pioneers and achievers. So, there seems to be a genetic pool where the young saplings that are astonishing the world actually came from. But even so, the recent renaissance has more to do with administrative foresight than any inherent ability.

The fact is, since he took the oath of office in March last year, Governor Willie Obiano has shown that under him, Anambra would not play second fiddle to anyone in education. He has made tough decisions, pushed hard-hitting reforms and demonstrated a thirst for excellence never seen before and today, the results are trickling in. It must be noted however, that he inherited good fundamentals in education. His predecessor, governor Peter Obi had returned mission schools to churches and made bold efforts to refocus the attention of the people on education. But Obiano has shown a more organised and structured approach that guarantees sustainability and instant results in the sector.
Obiano’s strategic approach to education is anchored on the crucial vision of becoming one of the Top-3 States with the highest literacy rates in Nigeria. Essentially, Obiano approaches education in three broad areas – infrastructural development, pupils/students development, and teachers’ welfare. In Infrastructure, his administration has renovated 862 units of 10-classroom blocks across the 21 Local Government Areas in the state and disbursed the sum of N733 million to the missions for the renovation of the schools the churches took over from the state. In Pupils/Students Welfare, his administration has kept faith with its “No-Child-Left-Behind” policy in education; awarding free education to all physically challenged children in the state. The governor took it a bit further when he awarded scholarships to the children of Boko Haram victims and other children who lost their parents while on active duty for the state. In all, the state has awarded scholarships of over N30 million in eighteen months.
Under Teachers’ Welfare, governor Obiano set precedence in Anambra State when he sent 23 teachers to Singapore to undergo training in technical and vocational education in April this year. The governor also increased the salary of teachers by 15 percent and offered incentives of 20 percent of their basic salaries to teachers deployed to hard-to-reach areas. This has greatly reduced the attrition of teachers in the areas. Similarly, teachers who teach core subjects like English, Mathematics and Sciences have been placed on a monthly incentive to encourage them. The administration has continued to invest heavily in education. It demonstrated a measure of vision in implementing a revolutionary policy that would leapfrog Anambra State into the new and dynamic digital age with the launch of One-Teacher-One-Laptop Scheme. This scheme will wipe out the absurdity of teaching computer on a chalkboard that formed Segun Adeniyi’s column which inspired this article. And just the other day, the governor sought to open more access to education for children in the riverine parts of the state when he launched 25 speedboats to mark the commencement of modern marine transportation in the state. With this scheme, pupils in riverine areas can attend classes in great schools that dot the mainland.

In conclusion, Adeniyi’s perplexity as to what Anambra is doing to get impressive results in education has an easy answer…Obiano is getting it right with his policies. The strategic three-pronged approach to education, the incentives to teachers, the heavy investments, the overseas training and the revolutionary policies nailed it fast. Thankfully, the attentive world is beginning to show appreciation. Two weeks ago, the Association of Primary School Head-teachers of Nigeria (APSHON) named Governor Obiano the Most Primary School-friendly Governor of 2015. And we hardly need a crystal ball to see that this is just the beginning.

EDO man what is your biz wif Biafra?

A result of a recent survey it conducted shows
that you are more likely to be abducted in the
South West than any other region in Nigeria.”
Contrary to the perception that kidnapping is
more prevalent in the South East and South South
geo-political zones, a recent survey shows that
people are more likely to be kidnapped in the
South West than any other region in Nigeria.
The 2013 National Crime Victimisation and Safety
Survey conducted by CLEEN Foundation with
support from the United States based Macarthur
Foundation shows that the South West has the
highest incidents of kidnapping with 5 per cent of
the respondents from the region saying they have
either been kidnapped or attempts have been
made to kidnap them.
The South South and the South East closely follows
with a 4 per cent kidnap rate. The region with the
lowest rate of kidnapping is the North Central
region with 2 per cent.
Rape and Attempted Rape
With a 10 per cent incident of rape or attempted
rape, the South South region is the rape capital of
the country followed by the North East (6 per cent)
and the South West and North West (4 per cent
each). The South East is the region with the lowest
propensity for rape with just 1 per cent.
The survey also shows that the national incidence
of rape almost doubled from 3 per cent in 2011 to
5 per cent in 2013. Most of the respondents who
claimed to have been raped said they were raped
in and around their homes. Thirty-three per cent
said they were raped nearest to their homes; 19
per cent were raped in their homes while 13 per
cent of cases of rape occurred in schools or places
of work.
Robberies

The survey shows that cases of robbery rose 1 per
cent from last year nationally. Kaduna recorded
the highest cases of robbery with 43 per cent
closely followed by Akwa-Ibom 42 per cent and
Cross River 39 per cent. Jigawa and Kano States
recorded the lowest cases of robbery with 5 and 3
per cents respectively.
The survey shows that more needs to be done
about security in and around homes as 63 per cent
of respondents said robberies occurred in homes
or near to home.
Physical Assaults
South East states recorded the highest rate of
physical assaults, the report showed. Enugu State
had the highest cases of assault with 84 per cent,
closely followed by Ebonyi (77 per cent) Rivers (58
per cent) and Anambra (50 per cent). The cases of
physical assault in Abuja rose from 15 per cent
last year to 24 per cent. However cases of physical
assault dropped drastically in Niger State from 68
per cent in 2012 to 6 per cent this year. Also
physical assault dropped from 23 per cent in 2012
to 8 per cent this year in Jigawa State.
Meantime, an Akure Magistrates’ Court recently
remanded a 25-year-old man, Taiwo Ebenezer, in
prison for allegedly kidnapping a 21-year-old,
Olayemi Olatunji.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo, who
handed down the verdict, said Ebenezer should be
kept behind bars at Olokuta Prisons in Akure
pending advice from the State Director of Public
Prosecutions (DPP).
According to reports, the court did not take the
plea of the accused in spite of efforts by his
counsel, Mr Ademola Abemkemo to secure bail
for him.
The accused, whose address is unknown, is facing a
two count charge of conspiracy and kidnapping.
The prosecutor, ASP Pelumi Adejuwon, had earlier
told the court that the accused with others still at
large, kidnapped Olatunji.
Adejuwon said the accused and his accomplices
were armed with a gun, cutlasses and some other
dangerous weapons when they committed the
offences.
According to him, the accused committed the
offences on May 7 between 8.00 a.m. and 6. 00
p.m. at Ayeyemi Street, Ondo.
He said the kidnap was, however, foiled when the
victim raised an alarm which attracted passers-by
who apprehended the accused.
The offences, Adejuwon said, contravened Section
516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ondo State,
2006.
The offences also violated Section 3(1) of the
Special Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Abduction Law of
Ondo State, 2010.
The case was adjourned till June 22 for mention.

Emerging trend of social almajiri in Yorubaland
By Hakeem Jamiu

There is a social malaise which is gradually creeping into the lexicon of Yorubaland and this is the ugly spectre of hungry children begging for food and alms at social events. Older women are equally not left out in this ugly but strange practice in Yorubaland. It is strange in Yorubaland because the concept of almajiri which simply means street urchin is common in the Northern part of the country. Yorubas use to refer derisively to anybody soliciting for arms in Yorubaland in the olden days as almajiri. The almajiri of the North are usually children between the age bracket of 7 and 20 in most cases. Almajiris are so desperate for food that any unsuspecting visitor to the Northern part of the country who goes to a restaurant to eat but mistakenly left his food to wash his hands is likely to lose such to waiting almajiris before he comes back for the food.

I first noticed this ugly trend at a ceremony I attended a few months ago at Ayetoro Ekiti. Elderly and middle aged able bodied women from Kwara, Osun and Oyo states invaded the burial ceremony uninvited and were embarrassing guests who refused to give them money. Also noticeable were children with their begging bowls who thronged the venue of the ceremony soliciting for left over food and alms. The children were a pitiable sight. Poverty was clearly written on their faces. I have attended many social functions after that and the same trend was noticeable. But I became worried a few days ago, when I attended the burial ceremony of a friend's father in Ilesha , Osun State . They came in various groups and employ different methods in soliciting for alms. There were the elderly women who were busy harassing guests in the name of praise singing and would not leave until you part with money, there were the men with their public address system which they use in praise singing but which is disturbance and yet, there were Yoruba children in the mould of almajiris with their begging bowls scrambling for left-over and at the same time soliciting for alms.

Fellow guests on my table at the event who were also journalists expressed their concern in unison about the growing trend of almajiri of various categories in Yorubaland. They all agreed that it has become a social problem. We started discussing and realised that the culture of begging in the mould of almajiris is alien to Yoruba culture. In those days before the advent of the British, the Yorubas are a proud people known for their hard work and industry. They practiced hoe agriculture and were well known as traders and for their crafts. Yoruba artists have produced masterpieces of woodcarving and bronze casting, some of which date from as early as the 13th century. Many of Nigeria 's best-known artists and writers are Yoruba. Other occupation of the Yorubas at that time were drumming and masquerading which would now be called showbiz. They engage in all the foregoing occupation but a Yoruba man or woman (able bodied) would not beg for alms as it is considered shameful and something akin to a curse. The Yorubas cherish their oriki (folklore) which is a poetic version of eulogizing the exploits of their progenitors which is an incentive for them to excel and even surpass their progenitors. The Yorubas have harsh words for lazy people. Such people are objects of ridicule and butt of jokes in the society. With this background, it is understandable why we became worried with the array of beggars at the Ilesha ceremony.

After leaving the party, I reflected on the scenario of the almajiris in Ilesha and I was able to draw a relationship between Political almajiris and social almajiris. I discovered that social almajiri had its root in the advent of the politics of do -or-die introduced into the political lexicon of Yorubaland by apostles of mainstream politics especially ex-President Obasanjo. The grand Patron of political almajiris who recently passed away was Chief Lamidi Adedibu. Many have argued that his death has led to the proliferation of almajiris in Yorubaland. This is because those he hitherto dole handouts to must look for other means of survival since he is no more. These political almajiris are ready to exchange their mothers for few coins. A new political class of men without integrity and anything goes was created and they became political almajiris who survive on crumbs from their masters. They would rig, kill, maim and do all sort of things to acquire political power. With the ascension of these men in power, good governance became a thing of the past. Our collective patrimony was squandered by these political almajiris. Nigeria has never been so blessed with petro dollar with oil selling for $156 dollars per barrel but Nigeria has never been so poor with a chunk of the population living below poverty line. So versions of the political almajiris are the social almajiris that now invade ceremonies in Yorubaland. With these children begging for alms, a ready made market for thuggery and other social vices is assured. The activities of the beggars are not limited to parties. At bus stops in our cities, it is a common sight to see women most of who are still in their mid thirties, who would strap a baby at their backs and approach men with stories of despair to solicit for alms. Many of them would end up in bed with such men. This is another brand of alamajiri and these are Yoruba women. A violent version of almajiri but which is gradually being tackled in Lagos is the 'Area Boys' syndrome. These are Yoruba street urchins who are semi- armed robbers.

The underlying factor in this new trend is failure of the Nigerian State on one part and the laziness on the part of these women. Most of them don't want to work, In those days, when everybody's occupation was farming you dare not beg. You must find something to do. But these days, our women and children are too lazy. It is either they steal or beg. In most cases a mother and child become almajiris at social events. So the question now is can a Yoruba man now refer derisively to a Hausa beggar as almajiri when we have many of them now in Yorubaland? The answer is no! This trend must be arrested before it goes out of hand. The almajiris in the North these days engage in novel forms of drug abuse like sniffing of gutter water to get intoxicated, sniffing of adhesives and other drugs so that they are ever ready to unleash terror on the rest of the society whenever they are called upon to do so by the political wing of almajiris. I strongly recommend that guests at public functions must stop encouraging almajiris by giving them money.

But can government which itself owns the political wing of almajiris arrest this trend? Time will tell.

Progressive and sophisticated governors from southwest really need to think progressive not retrogressive,that's my own you can report me to mod, I have said my own, the first step is to identify problem and second best way to solve it, not hiding my post or illegally prohibit

superstar1:
Is it that you cannot read or you can read but cannot comprehend.

Domestic Passenger Traffic by Airpost shows MMA remains the clear leader with 39% of the total flight, followed by Abuja airport with 33% of the total flight and PH coming 3rd.

For the International Passenger Traffic, MMA is responsible for 69% followed by Abuja, PH and Kano accordingly. Enugu experienced significan decline.

For Cargo, MMA is responsible for 86%.

So what exactly are you trying to point out.

Enugu airport was newly commissioned by GEJ how can you compare the airport to Kano or other international airports? How about domestic airports I hope you saw Imo and Enugu statistics? Then compare wif Ibadan and Akure airports

The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops.

Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths.

Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity.

I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease.

Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively.

In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013.

Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today.

I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth.

The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities.

The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos.

More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas.

Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners.
