IBADAN — Unknown gunmen, who reportedly missed their target yesterday descended on the man’s wife and mother, killing them in the process.

The unlucky women were identifiedd as Kafila Bolarinwa and her mother-in-law.
It was gathered that their target was in the mosque offering prayers as part of Ramadan activities when the hoodlums struck.

Sources added that the man’s mother sensing the unusual movement and cry from her daughter-in-law, came out to find out what was happening only for the assailants to kill her too.
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olabisi Okuwobi-Clet Ilobanafor confirmed the incident.

Prof.Patrick Okedinachi Utomi is a   distinguished Nigerian professor of political economy and a renowned, internationally aclaimed public affairs analyst with a unique leadership acumen that separates him from his equals.

In this encounter, he speaks on burning national issues, starting with the demise of the renown human right icon, Bamidele Aturu, to the impeachment of Murtala Nyako and the waste of billions of naira on the ongoing CONFAB. Excerpt:
    
How do you feel about the death of the legal icon, Bamidele Aturu?

It’s a devastating blow to the project of human right. One of the biggest challenges of our time is helping the voiceless find a voice. Sadly we live in a society of an extra-ordinarily selfish elite who are obsessed with themselves through nazistic culture. So when you find a few who are willing to help the voiceless find their voice, you know that it’s a gift from above. Stephen clovey said that the most important habit of the 21th century is to help people find their voice.
Bamidele Aturu helped his generation to find its voice. Much earlier, when some of us were 18, youth of Nigeria helped Nigeria find it’s voice.
Then, we were demonstrating before we know the reason behind our demonstration, but today’s youths are so focused on themselves, while the voiceless are completely helpless. So when you have a few individuals who are willing to help other individuals find their voice, it is tragic to lose them early. He would surely be missed.

What would you say about the impeachment of Gov. Murtala  Nyako and the resignation of his deputy despite the intervention of elder statemen like former President Olusegun  Obasanjo and his Vice, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar?

It is a very strange conversation for variety of reasons. It is a complicated politics in Adamawa. Nyako on his own, in all circumstances, has his own challenges, but sincerely, our democracy is not being helped by these kind of politics.

In some ways I am tangentially related to Adamawa politics and as part of my work with the oppressed, I have done quite a bit of work in some part of Adamawa state during the flooding. I spent time visiting those areas providing them trucks full of relief materials from Lagos. So I know how they feel about their leadership in Yola.
However, I think we are in a transition society and there are some delicate things we need to manage in a certain way to navigate that transition so that we do not create enough of a groundswell that would result into a violent storm at the end.
All these issues happening, reminded me of 1966! And we knew where the tragedy of 1966 led us as a nation. This is a period we need to be very careful.

Some people are of the opinion that the politics of cross-carpeting from one political party to another is not ideal for our democracy. What is your view?

I find it very disgusting; it’s the main reason why some of us pushed to register a political party based on strong ideals and values. It is an ideological orientation that keeps one in a political party, not the convenience of an electoral machine.
It is totally bad that people would swing from one party to the other because of an electoral possibility and making mess of the very essence of a political party. This was why I was frightened when I heard about speculation that I would still be joining the People’s Democratic Party PDP. Not because there is poison in the party but I believe that the fundamental reason for involving in politics should be for building institutions. Institutions are what preserve the future.
These politicians jumping from one party to the other are looking for their moment. Politicians should not be thinking of the moment but the future of their grand children. If we can’t build a strong institution like a strong intent political party then we are not mindful about the future of our grand children. It does not matter what anybody does to me, I would remain in the party I believe is in the progressive left to any other side.

With the split of the South and the North over derivation, do you see the confab coming up with solutions to the problems facing Nigeria as a country?

Without being temperamental, I have very little time for the CONFAB. If this group of people can recommend a 19 state for Nigeria, they have no idea of what they are doing.

How do you mean?

The reason is very simple, the CONFAB delegates were selected from yesterday and their focus is on yesterday. So somehow they cannot see tomorrow. Imagine yesterday’s quarrel being re-fired and yesterday’s sharing formula is being thought through rather than tomorrow’s bills being discussed. So they are focusing on yesterday challenges and losing sight of tomorrows challenges.
The national conference is a waste of billions of naira of the tax payers’ money. Lest we forget, I was one of those who pioneered the call for a true Sovereign National Conference   but it appeared it was manipulated in a way that the wrong people were called upon to be delegates.
Although there are some good selected few among them that see more clearly but their understanding is so limited which would do lasting damage on the country. The understanding of most of those in the conference is so much on yesterday.

With all the challenges rattling our polity, do you perceive a breakup come 2015?

My prayer has always been that Nigeria will remain united and learn from her mistakes and forge ahead. I have always hoped that the generation that see the strength of Nigeria will take advantage of it and build on those strength in a way that we would all become penny wise pound foolish.

What structure do you think is most suitable for Nigeria?

More decentralisation, greater devolution of power, bigger sub national structures and something like the six regional structure instead of the malady we are facing today, where politicians want to be addressed as “Your Excellencies.”
Back then, these offices were being run by DOs who wore knickers and rode bicycles but today you see leaders flying around in private jets.

With failed leadership, do you see unity as the best solution to Nigeria’s challenges?

A bigger country is always a better idea economically. My view is that Nigeria is not even big enough. We should even think of merging together with few west-African countries.
The thought of breaking it further would not be in the best interest of the Nigerian People. Consider the United State of America, for instance. It comprises of smaller countries that came together to form a formidable nation.

Then what would you make of the contentions between the South and the Northern region delegates?

There had always been differences between smaller units in any great nation’s history.
The south of the United State fought Civil War with the Northern for a longer period, but today nobody is talking about it. Even in America, nobody remembers it, except for history lessons. In the same vain, I have many friends who hail from the North and we relate normally.
Our problem of division is just the lazy and selfish elite that are trying to share our commonwealth. So they don’t elevate conversation, they just look for how to find ways for themselves and that is the reason we are in the mess we find ourselves as a nation.

How best can we get out of these predicament?

My friend, Prince Odukumaya, once said that Nigeria is in serious need of a Nigerian Jrry Rawlilngs but I am not sure if that is the only way to resolve our problems. Sincerely, we need a revolution that will wipe out these characters.
More importantly, we need to recognise that leadership should not be for dullards. According to Bishop Coker; the brightest in our society goes to acquire degrees while the less intelligent people rule. Nigeria has reversed everything.
While in other societies, only the brightest leads. The American President, Barack Obama, is a professor in constitutional law, the British Prime Minister is typically a graduate of the prestigious Oxford University. But in Nigeria we have the opposite whereby those at the bottom runs our society.

I remember  you anchored on a national TV, a program titled Patitos Gang in which Reuben Abati was a member of the ‘gang’. The program proffered solutions to national problems.

(Laughed)…I think my people are too involved now in the sharing of the cake than to think of the solutions we proffered then. But God is not sleeping.

tonytony208: I still believe dar If aregbesola had done his job of governance well, pdp wont be here reducing the value of their votes to a bag of rice. This is not to say am supporting omisore; he too is a questionable xter. Aregbesola is distributing rice and omisore is distributing rice, which means d two are the same.

all I want people to understand is that
PDP, APC and others are only aiming for one thing "looting"

collynzo2: No matter where you stand or think you stand, no one can deny the boldened part above.
APC has impoverished the good people of Osun and South West in general.

when we (citizen)stop collecting they rice

Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, yesterday, accused each other of plans to distribute rice to  voters ahead of the August 9 governorship election in the state.
The APC, in a statement by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr Kunle Oyatomi, warned the people of the state to be wary of the goods, alleging that they were confiscated expired rice.
“The citizens of Osun have been warned by the All Progressives Congress that the PDP, in collaboration with the Nigerian Customs warehouse in Ikeja, have loaded trailers filled with thousands of bags of expired rice, confiscated several months ago from smugglers, and are being brought to Osun for distribution to voters,”the statement said.
According to the statement, “competent sources from the Customs have also revealed that consignment the rice is unsuitable for human consumption.”
Calling on the people of the state to be vigilant, the party said: “Osun citizens should therefore be warned that their lives are at risk from the poisoned rice.”

The party recalled that it had warned citizens earlier of the PDP’s boast that they will win the election with a bag of rice and at least N10,000 to each voter.”
On its part, the Omisore Campaign Organisation accused the APC of attempts to distribute bags of rice in order to hoodwink the Osun electorate.
A statement by its Director, Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said: “Our attention has been drawn to 70 trailers containing the All Progressives Congress, APC, branded rice slated for distribution to woo voters to vote APC in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
“It is preposterous for the APC who described the defeat it suffered in the June 21 gubernatorial election in Ekiti as politics of ‘stomach infrastructure’ to now embark on sharing rice, noodles and other edibles to lure the good people of Osun who they have impoverished in the last three and a half years to cast their vote for APC again.”
The Omisore Campaign expressed surprise that the “APC which prides itself as progressives could stoop so low when it was obvious that people have rejected the party”. It added: “Those whose means of livelihood have been willfully destroyed by the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola-led administration should be wary of these Greek gift at the twilight of the APC misrule in Osun lest they are hoodwinked. In the last four weeks, it is an open secret that the APC has suddenly begun to distribute rice to appease people as published on page 9 of Thisday newspaper of July 12, 2014.”

DECOtech: In which market? To whom? in which town? For how long will u advertise it?

this ur question don kill the thing self

biafranqueen: The bolded is end of story point made!

nothing can keep us as one again

tonytony208: a lot of reasons bro.

1. Oyel will cause divisiojn. Everyone will want to take charge and cut off his chunk. Unrest is sure to ensue. Dont forget that there are lots of tribes and languages in the SS.

2. Oyel will finish very soon. And when it does, what shall be left to share? And if oyel money had not been well invested, only God knows what will be the outcome.

3. Asari dokubo and his boys will be thorns in the flesh of constituted authority. They may even want to be the kingmakers. Anyone who doesn't do their wills may never govern successfully. Don't forget they have weapons. The only possible solution is if they are incorporated into the military or police force. Considering that many of them are even illiterates makes such prospect unpalatable.

anyway
Good point

cjrane: Truly, if so much hate had not been spewed in Nigeria, Igala,Tiv, Igbira,Berom and other middle belt tribes are very compatible with the southerners.

I have had opportunity to be in Ajaokuta,Jos,Idah, Gboko, Lafia and Jos. I had many Idoma & Igala family friends while i lived at Enugu.I understand many are still there, many years after their parents left the Police and army. I cannot point to one single difference between my family and theirs or even physical differences. Their chics skin shade is even more golden brown than Akwa Ibom girls, talkless Igbo girls! The natives of the middle belt are indeed compatible with southern Nigeria and are completely different from the core northerners you'll see in Kano,Katsina or Yobe. I don't know why anyone will classify them as northerners!

I like ur spirit

tonytony208: in my opinion bro, SW, SE and the north won't regret it. I only fear for the southsouth. They will be worse for it.

can you pls tell me how south south will be worse?

UMUAHIA — THE Abia State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Wednesday, arrested two men with the corpse of a two-year-old girl.

The suspects were apprehended when they were trying to bury the corpse in an abandoned pit in Osisioma, near Aba.
The middle-aged suspects are Jonathan Nwogu from Mgboko Umuola in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state and Chibuike Anubuife from Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
They were caught at Enyimba filling station near Ariaria International, Aba while trying to take the girl’s corpse in a sack for burial.

Parading the suspects in Umuahia, the state commandant of the NSCDC, Andy Dateer, said: “It was a very sad day for the command.”
According to him, his men on a routine patrol caught two men in possession of a corpse of a girl of about two years old in a sack. He said his men were attracted to the scene following a quarrel between them and a man who would have conveyed them to the scene in his car.

“As people started gathering, the owner of the car zoomed off and my men arrested the two suspects,” he said.
Dateer said they will be handed over to the Police for proper investigation.

“If they had not been saved by his men the public would have lynched them and the society would not be able to know the mystery behind their act,” he said.
In an interview, Chibuike Anubuife said he saw the other man for the first time and he asked him to help him bury the dead girl.

Anubuife said that he was still discussing the logistics for the burial of the girl before the men of the NSCDC arrested them.
In his response, the other suspect, Jonathan Nwogu said a man approached him to help him bury the girl.

then what is the next thing from here?

Alaanyihaji: The APC spokesman is a man i love for his political marksmanship if there is a word like that. I will vote for him any day for the position he presently occupy. However, he is taking the criticism of the Nigerian presidency to a level of scorn. I am looking forward to the day he will comment on the positive side of any action of the government, as no doubt there are some. For one thing, it was extreme humility and commitment to the rescue and welfare of Chibok girls that made Jonathan rise to meet with parents and the escaped girls who were already at Abuja. As Gen T.Y. Danjuma RTD. said yesterday, and I quote a in paraphrase "when the president gave me the invitation three days ago, my first impression was to say no, but I remembered two things: one,the person speaking is the president of Nigeria;two, the issue in question is an emergency, and I said yes". This is how statesmen think, talk and act. My good friend does not see anything wrong in a group of Nigerians who visited the federal capital, walking out on the Nigerian president; turning down an invitation to see the president that they claim they desperately needed his attention. Don't forget these same escaped children,its said, to have repeatedly rebuffed the federal government emissaries; always preferring to see or talk to anybody after briefing and packaging their stories by Bornu government and elders.Civilized world don't play politics with terrorism. The APC spokesman should heed the pledge of General Mohammed Buhari rtd that we all remove any desire to score political point on the issues of our collective fight against terrorism; a typical of which is the abducted children. As soon as this is done,he will regain the admiration and respect we have for his opinions and choice of words.

this is a good comment from a mature mind

Arosa: Anything is possible.

let me wait until it happen
