GOMBE State has concluded plans, in collaboration with the National Population Commission (NPC), to conduct house-to-house census in order to check the influx of illegal immigrants into the state, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo has said.

The governor disclosed this Wednesday during the visit of the Federal Population Commissioner, Bala Magaji, and his entourage, where the governor also advocated “special and speedy” provision of funds for the Commission from the Federation Account.

According to him, this should be done “especially now that the country is going through constitutional review,” adding that the suggestion for hands of friendship to the NPC became relevant since the body “provides all the basic data for planning an election in the country.”

To demonstrate his support for the Commission, Dankwambo directed chairmen of the local councils in the state to, as a matter of urgency, make available to the Commission an ad-hoc staff, which he believed, would facilitate its job at the grassroots.

In the meantime, Magaji has stated the readiness of the Commission to observe the Maternal and Infant Week slated for May 20 in the state, and further disclosed that the Commission currently has 35 birth registration centres across the 11 local councils of the state.

Meanwhile, the committee recently set up by the state government to facilitate mass weddings for divorcees (Zaurawa) in the state has submitted its report to the governor, suggesting the immediate establishment of an agency for that purpose.

Chairman of the committee, Dr. Mohammed Usman, while presenting the report yesterday, said the agency, if established, would hasten the periodic organisation of mass marriages among the divorced Muslim faithful, as well as widows and widowers.

It further suggested HIV and related diseases’ screening for intending couples to halt the spread of such infections, just as it asked the government to always give the “new couples” N50,000.00 to enable them go into any business of their choice.

Adura_ngba: What are you talking about? 776 in just 6 countries is already huge if you dont know. I am only saying, when you add prisoners in other countries, you will get more than 776. Truth is bitter. For your understanding, I am also Nigerian.

No doubt in what your saying, but at-least now the people representing us who are deliberating on the issue because the embarrassment is getting out of hand especially with foreign security agencies harassing Nigerians....

Adura_ngba: OP. Correct your title. 776 in 6 countries. By the time you add those in other countries, you will be amazed how many. Only 62 in America? Not true. How many in UK prisons?

What were you expecting a huge number because the world say's negative things about us or are we the worst people on earth? if you doubt these facts pls tell us what we don't know...

About 776 Nigerians are serving different jail terms in foreign prisons, Senate Committee Chairman on Foreign Affairs, Senator Mathew Nwagwu disclosed Tuesday.

The revelation which followed a motion moved on the floor of the Upper House by Nwagwu (Imo North), prompted a resolution, urging the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nigerian embassies across the world to be more proactive on matters affecting Nigerians in countries where they are in distress.

A breakdown of the number of Nigerians serving foreign jail terms, according to Nwagwu, includes United States (62), Thailand (71), Spain (395), Malaysia (43), Cameroun (29), and Niger (30).

The Senate urged relevant Nigerian authorities to “press for redress and restitution” on behalf of 14 of 27 Nigerians deported from Spain who are said to be innocent.

It also urged the Federal Government to use diplomatic channels to register Nigeria’s disenchantment towards maltreatment of her citizens and what he alleged as wrongful deportation from Spain or any other country.

The lawmakers also urged the Ministry of foreign affairs to strengthen “our consular services in our missions abroad with a view to increasing their capacity to protect our citizens in distress and ensuring prompt legal advice is provided for them where necessary.”

While moving the motion which was co-sponsored by Senators Victor Ndoma-Egba, Senator Akin Odunsi, Senator Zainab Kure, Ita Enang, Chris Anyanwu, James Manager, Atiku Bagudu, Nenadi Usman, Hussein Mudashiru and Helen Esuene, Nwagwu lamented “unfair treatments and harassment of Nigerians in foreign countries leading to torture, intimidation, arrests, detention, deportation and occasional deaths.”

While alleging that the torture had continued for so long, Nwagwu regretted that Nigeria has been nonchalant towards the unfair treatment of its citizens, adding that lack of proper legal representation has made Nigerians vulnerable in foreign lands.

Noting that it is not in all cases that Nigerians are culpable in allegations against them, Nwagwu cited the instance of a Nigerian student in Ukraine “who was said to have defended himself with a broken bottle against six Ukrainian youths, who allegedly attacked him at the entrance of his apartment in November 2011.” He added: “Right now, he risks life imprisonment if convicted. His situation is made worse by the refusal of Ukrainian police to take his case to court on the excuse that they have not been able to get an interpreter for him.”

In his comment, Senate President, David Mark, remarked that innocent Nigerians should not be lumped together with criminals, stating that anyone who commits an offence, however, should be made to face the wrath of the law in such land.

Mark expressed the need to educate Nigerians that they will ultimately pay for their misdemeanours, regretting however, that their misdeeds bring Nigeria into disrepute.

The Senate President also expressed regrets that Nigeria’s foreign missions have not lived up to expectation by rising in defence of Nigerians in distress until cases of wrongdoing are established against them.

He also noted that Nigerian missions face acute problem ranging from inability to pay house rent, telephone bills and other running cost, submitting that staff cannot pay their children’s school fees.

He added that the foreign missions ought to reflect Nigeria’s status as the giant of Africa.

Cuckoo48: Presido should have been interviewed by Piers Morgan, only be say we for see a grown man weep on tv. In any case, no be only book haram be our problem for dis country. Make she kukuma ask am about subsidy, police college, creating wealth vs reducing poverty, phones for farmers, etchetaram, etchetaram.....

Correct them fellow, Good talk....

Like seriously!!! I can't wait to hear what he has to say after his last Presidential media chart which to my own opinion went perfectly well....

Tell that man to Go and sleep or even short-up completely, God is bigger than that Office or Nation he is referring to. if truly He is a man of God, He should keep quiet and stop judging D President. Jesus as the king of kings still humbled himself and washed His disciples feet. Tunde Bakare has to caution himself when it comes to politics and God.

Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly tells Punch:

They have signaled the campaign by going to kneel down before Pastor Adeboye. See, I am not saying that pastors should not pray for presidents, that man was representing an office; a whole nation crumbling before men of God because of political advantage they think they can get. And if the prayer will bail him out, let us wait and see. The truth is who is preparing for 2015, which faction of the PDP? Is it the (Olusegun) Obasanjo faction? Or IBB faction? Or Jonathan faction? The governors’ faction? Because PDP is a house divided against itself; it’s a chicken that has begun to eat its own intestines. By going to kneel down in the open before the pastor, the man (Jonathan) did not even recognise the dignity of his office. If it were a private thing, it is okay for you to crawl or kneel but it is a whole nation. That office has been diminished by a man who does not know the worth of it and does not deserve to stay there for one more day.

let us wait 4 the final judgment

A South African court has found Henry Okah guilty of terrorism charges leveled against him by the federal government of Nigeria.

The sentence includes a life jail term. The sentence will be carried out on January 31st or February 1st. The judge however gave Okah room for mitigation.

Okah is accused of masterminding two car bombings in Abuja on October 1 in 2010.

12 people were killed and 36 were injured. He was arrested in Johannesburg the following day.

Okah was allegedly the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), that claimed responsibility for the blasts.

He was charged with engaging in terrorist activities, conspiracy to engage in terrorist activity, and delivering, placing, and detonating an explosive device.

Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, who was first to give evidence at the opening of Okah’s trial said Okah was a “key figure in the Niger Delta struggle and the militants had a lot of respect for him”.

Okah denied involvement in the attacks and also denies being the leader of the group

9ja smooth criminals!!! Now that thieves can have their take of the national wealth from source, in the same way they steal oil sources without punishment we are FINISHED!!!!!!!

SOON all that the National Assembly would be doing is investigating or probing one matter or the other. Even before the committees set out on these missions, the public is always certain about the outcome: nothing.

It is therefore with benign equanimity that Nigerians learnt that money was missing from the Mint, the factory that prints the national currency, at least the bit that is not imported. Its official name is the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company. The Mint has no security.

The scandal is not that money is missing; a milder manner of reporting a theft, but the disclosure that nobody knows what was stolen. The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria guesses it is N2 billion, the Managing Director of the Mint said it was N1.5 billion while another Mint official posited an easily negligible N900, 000. The fact is that money was stolen from the Mint since early December.

It was not the first time. Would it be the last? For how long has this been happening? How was it possible? How much has been stolen? What about the numerous security cameras and body searches meant to forestall such occurrence? Who could steal from the Mint without official connivance?

To move N2 billion would require a sizeable vehicle, no matter the denomination in which the money is. Even the more paltry N900, 000 (an unlikely interest for a Mint thief) cannot be tucked into pockets. Stealing from the Mint falls in the realms of the highest levels of organised crime.

Now that thieves can have their take of the national wealth from source – in the same way they steal oil sources without punishment – chances are that criminals, in their numbers, would enroll for fuller participation in this supposedly new venture. It could bear less risk, yet with bountiful results.

The tragedy is that daily, the flanges of criminality are increasing with corresponding impunity. The organisation and technology that result in successful heists at the Mint are beyond the security agencies, and definitely out of the reach of the National Assembly.

All these are the sort of unattended threats the country faces. Criminals walk the streets and the corridors of power with certainty that they are beyond the law. National resources that require protection are at great risk.

If people can plunder the Mint, knowing they can use the stolen money without being detected, why would they not make an enterprise of it? We are faced with threats from another set of criminals and they are not petty thieves.
The National Assembly will probe this and more crimes.

It cannot prosecute the offenders. Nigerians are wondering what the security agencies do.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said today it has arrested two suspects, Tanimu Abubakar (also known as Ibrahim) and Mohammed Yaba, for allegedly parading themselves as officials of the Commission.

Abubakar and Yaba were picked up in Abuja on Tuesday when they showed up at the Federal Capital Territory Authority offering to assist a director of the agency to kill a petition allegedly written against him, the EFCC said in a statement. Following contact made with the commission, the suspects were arrested.

The statement described the arrests as the latest in “rising incidences” of impersonation of EFCC officials by fraudsters who use fake letterheads to write bogus invitation letters to members of the public.

“Some citizens with issues to hide have unwittingly fallen victims to these fraudsters,” the statement said. “Most victims usually do not report to the Commission and some go away with the erroneous impression that the fraudsters are bona fide officials of the EFCC.”

It implored members of the public to report any solicitation for gratification by any person claiming to be an official of the EFCC to the Commission or the nearest police station.

Good Morning 9ja!!!! It's Friday!!! Tell us about your best Friday night and where it went down. We wanna have some fun too!

Hmmmm Calabar Carnival no go easy ooooooo!

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Rivers said on Wednesday that a five-party system would guarantee and strengthen the electoral process in Nigeria.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Aniedi Ikoiwak, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt that the nation’s electoral system needed to be sanitised.

He said a five-party system was the best for the country to overcome electoral irregularities and shake off corruption among political parties.

“We don’t want unserious political associations whose members stay at home with their wives to demand money from government.

“Many of them are registered to disappear during elections,” Ikoiwak said.

According to him, a five party structure will raise the standard of Nigeria’s electoral process because all the parties will be serious in contest for power.

The commissioner urged the country to strive towards better electoral process which could be attained through a five-party system or lesser.

Ikoiwak explained that such system would usher in an unprecedented grassroots mobilisation and participation in the electoral process with its attendant accountability.

He emphasised the importance of grassroots inclusiveness in the nation’s electoral process, saying that it was the foundation of any viable democracy.

He decried the misconduct of some political parties which nominated fraudulent candidates, adding that it would be eliminated through the system, if adopted.

Ikoiwak explained that some unserious party candidates had developed the habit of playing the role of ‘’spoilers’’ if they were not settled by serious opponents.

The commissioner said that such misconduct was common under the current multi-party system.

He, however, expressed optimism on the ability of the commission to flush out corrupt politicians if the right political party system was adopted.

According to him, it is the constitutional right of the commission to register and also de-register parties, drawing its powers from the Electoral Act.

The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion by the Chairman, Committee on Finance, Abdulmumin Jibrin, who under a matter of urgent public importance requested the mandate of the committee to issue the bench warrant for the affected chief executives for non-appearance.

Sixty agencies were invited, but 15 failed to appear before the committee despite several official invitations.

Jubrin noted that the case of Sanusi was peculiar as he was seen at a conference on the day, the fourth invitation, where he was speaking about the need to sack half of the Federal Government workforce.

The Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, rather than put to vote the prayer of the motion, guided the House on the procedure for the issuance of a bench warrant of arrest.

He said Section 89 of the constitution empowers committees of the House to summon any person in the country to attend the committee, but that procedure should be followed by the committee.

“So the procedure is that first, go and put down the request with the office of the Speaker, and I will oblige you,” the Speaker said.

At press time, it was learnt the committee had written to the office of the Speaker on the matter. So now lets allow the ball roll!!!!!!

This information Minister do not think everybody is fool that they can be easily deceived, you said people should commend prosecution of oil subsidy suspects and mind you your administration is fooling .people with your language of prosecution but we never seen conviction and sentenced of these Suspects.

What this Minister is thinking is that people should commend the lies and deceptive prosecution the Government embark on about Corruption.

When people see those Oil subsidy Suspects convicted and sentenced severely then people will commend Government action on Corruption.

Global perception of the anti-corruption battle in Nigeria got a modicum of approval, yesterday, after the global anti-corruption body, Transparency International, TI, moved the country four places up in its yearly ranking of public sector transparency.

Nigeria’s 139 ranking was up from the 143rd position the country was ranked last year, according to the TI ranking released early yesterday.

This came as the Federal Government, yesterday, dismissed the rating by TI, saying it was a product of “synopsis of negative media reports.”

The relatively better ranking nonetheless, reactions within the country was not cheery as it was the opinion of many that corruption remained deeply rooted in the nation’s body polity.

In the release made available on its website, TI put Nigeria in a joint 139 position with Azerbaijan, Kenya, Nepal and Pakistan among the 178 nation’s surveyed. Nigeria was effectively ranked as the 35th most corrupt country in the world. In the rankings last year, Nigeria got a total score of 2.4 out of a total of 10.

The ranking based on public sector corruption, among other indices, followed a total score of 27 out of 100 in the Corruption Perception Index, CPI. The CPI is the degree to which corruption is perceived to permeate among public officials and politicians in a country by the business community and country experts.

The scale is based on a rating of 100 for very clean to 0 for very corrupt.

For the first time since the beginning of the rankings in 2005, three countries, Denmark, Finland and New Zealand, were joint first in the rankings having obtained an average score of 90 out of 100.

Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia, like last year, were tied at the bottom of the rankings which essentially were reflective of the perception of the business community on the transparency and cleanness of public officials and politicians.

The ranking sent mixed signals among the political class and the civil rights community with some lauding the improvement while some faulted the position.

The first African nation on the TI index is Botswana which is 30th on the global ranking. Nigeria’s 139th position and total score of 27 is reflective of the country’s score of 32 out of 100 in the African Development Bank’s Governance rating.

Remarkably, two thirds of the 176 countries ranked in the 2012 index score below 50, on a scale from 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean), showing that public institutions need to be more transparent, and powerful officials more accountable.
“Governments need to integrate anti-corruption actions into all public decision-making. Priorities include better rules on lobbying and political financing, making public spending and contracting more transparent and making public bodies more accountable to people,” Ms Huguette Labelle, the Canadian Chairperson of Transparency International said yesterday.

“After a year of focus on corruption, we expect governments to take a tougher stance against the abuse of power. The Corruption Perceptions Index 2012 results demonstrate that societies continue to pay the high cost of corruption,” Labelle said.

FG dismisses rating
Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, who reacted to the rating, said the agency did not take cognisance of the achievements recorded by this administration in its fight against corruption.

According to him, “the TI report and a recent Gallup Poll that also showed that Nigeria was among corrupt nations globally were products of perceptions of both the people and the media practitioners which fail to appreciate that the incumbent administration was taking steps to deal with corruption by employing systematic and institutional approaches that are gradual in yielding results.”

Citing the instance of the prosecution of alleged fraudsters implicated in the fuel subsidy scam, investigation into the pension fund scandal, the geometric auditing of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and curbing of graft in the supply of fertiliser and seeds to farmers, the minister said these were concrete efforts that should be commended.

If all that government is doing is for a good course and will carry the country forward then not a problem we Nigerian will continue like the late Fela sang "suffering and smiling" but government if its not then your using your hands to set the country at blaze... God help us

The Federal Government said it has recovered N29 billion out of the N232 billion fraudulently claimed by petrol marketers.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, dropped the hint in Abuja on Monday.

Ms. Okonjo-Iweala, who spoke during a roundtable at the ongoing Nigerian Economic Conference, said the amount was recovered from some marketers who defrauded the Federal Government in the oil subsidy payment scheme.

The minister maintained that the recovery exercise was part of government’s determination to fight corrupt practices in the oil and gas sector.

“Now of the N232 billion that has been put forward as fraudulent claims, some of those marketers said government owed them money. We are right now able to hold N29 billion of that.

“So instead of paying them, we are recovering what they owe us. So, my single hope is that out of this, we have recovered virtually that amount of about N29 billion and we are looking to recover the balance of the total.

“Some of these people are being chased and prosecuted and the EFCC and ICPC are still investigating this,” she said.

The minister said that about 50 marketers were being investigated over the subsidy scam.

She attributed the slow pace of payment of the subsidy claims, to marketers, to the ongoing verification and thorough scrutiny of such claims by relevant agencies.

Ms. Okonjo-Iweala said that only genuine claims of oil marketers would be entertained.

“We have never stopped paying because all these issues about queues and so on, of course sometimes the marketers have said unless you pay us, we are not going to bring in oil.

“But we have not yielded to any of that kind of stress or even blackmail, we have continued to do our work and we will continue to pay those who are clean,” she said.

General Electric, a United States based Multinational Corporation with a strong presence in Nigeria and enjoying the patronage of the federal government in the oil and gas sector, has accused the country’s judiciary of understaffing, inefficiency and corruption.

In its Motion for Summary Disposition of a petition before a Detroit, Michigan Circuit Court, to recognize a Nigeria money Judgment which was filed against it by Q Oil Services Nigeria Ltd, another Nigerian Company, General Electric International Company urged the US Court not to recognize the Nigerian judgment because the Judgment “was rendered under a Judicial System that does not provide impartial Tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law”.

In its submission to the court on why the Nigerian judgment must not be recognized in the US, the General Electric relies on the US State Department’s country’s Report on Nigeria for 2012 which contains the following findings about the Nigerian judicial system: “Although the constitution and law provide for an independent judiciary, the judicial branch remained susceptible to pressure from the executive and legislative branches and the business sector.

Political leaders influenced the judiciary, particularly at the state and local levels. Understaffing, underfunding, inefficiency, and corruption continued to prevent the judiciary from functioning adequately. Judges frequently failed to appear for trials, often because they were pursuing other sources of income and sometimes because of threats against them. In addition court officials often lacked the proper equipment, training, and motivation to perform their duties, with lack of motivation primarily due to inadequate compensation. During the year Supreme Court judges called for a more independent judiciary”.
A part of the State Department’s description of the prevailing atmosphere in Nigeria further reads, “On August 18, the National Judicial Council (NJC) suspended the president of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami, after he refused the NJC's directive to apologize to the NJC and the chief justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu. Salanii had accused Katsina-Alu of interfering in the proceedings of the 2007 Sokoto State gubernatorial court case.



In an attempt to settle the dispute, the NJC set up three panels to investigate the disagreement. The panels declared neither justice was at fault, declared the issue resolved, and requested that Salami apologize to the NJC and Katsina-Alu. The Nigerian Bar Association reached contrary findings, and Salami refused to apologize. After the NJC suspended Salami, President Jonathan used his constitutional authority to recommend the compulsory retirement of Salami and appointed Justice Dalhatu Adamu as acting president of the Court of Appeals. The case raised questions regarding the partisan nature and level of independence within the judiciary. Salami appealed the ruling, and the court case continued at year's end”.

According to General Electric, the US State Department’s findings on Nigeria are consistent with a similar finding in the Liberian Courts for the same year, which a US Court of Appeals had relied upon to refuse recognition to a Liberian Judgment in the US.

“The court found the Country Reports reliable because the Reports are submitted annually, and are therefore investigated in a timely manner. They are prepared by area specialists at the State Department." Based on the State Department's findings, the judgment of the Nigerian court is unenforceable in Michigan, GE argued.

In addition, GE also urged the US Court not to recognize the judgment because it was “rendered in circumstances that raise substantial doubt about the integrity of the rendering court with respect to the judgment, or the specific proceeding in the foreign court leading to the judgment was not compatible with due process of law." Accusing the presiding Justice of a High Court of Rivers State of possible bias in the proceedings, GE stated that “the Nigerian trial court's September 29, 2010 default Judgment granted Q Oil's claim for declaratory relief claims and all of the damages it sought, including $5,000,000 USD in supposed "general" damages, without a shred of evidence, and without a formal trial, contrary to Nigerian law and public policy”.

Finally, GE prays the Court to dismiss the petition for recognition or in the event the Court does not dismiss the complaint, to enter an order staying the proceedings until the conclusion of all appeals in Nigeria.

The Plaintiff, Q Oil and Gas Services Nigeria Limited had asked the US Court to "recognize" a Nigerian Court Judgment in the sum of $5.5 million entered against Defendant GE International Operations, Nigeria Ltd, pursuant to the Michigan Uniform Foreign Country Money Judgments Recognition Act of 2008 ("UFCMJRA".
Q Oil and Gas Services is expected to file its response to the allegations this week.

This is a welcome development!!! Developed countries like the US, Britain, Germany and etc have used this process to protect their nations for insurgencies and bad reputations and so on .... My only prayer is let media and the security agencies not let this process be the usually Nigerian syndrome.....
