Viralkid:
There's various differences between archive and library, major differences are
archives possess information of unpublished documents while libraries have published works, mostly archives are more like files kept in a folder while the library books are in hard cover, archives may not be read without permission from the person in charge of storing them.
Archives are not for immediate use while libraries are accessible 24/7.

CrimeJudge Strikes Out Case Against UNILAG On Technical Grounds,students'lawyer To A by Gerald620(op): 10:18pm On Feb 25, 2017
Justice A. O. Faji, a Federal High Court judge in Ikoyi, Lagos State, today struck out a case filed against the University of Lagos (UNILAG) by some student activists who alleged unjust rustication by the institution. The rusticated students sued the university to contest the school management’s decision. One of the affected students, Femi Adeyeye, was suspended for four semesters on account of a Facebook post in which he criticized the authorities at UNILAG.
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKFEB 24, 2017

Justice A. O. Faji, a Federal High Court judge in Ikoyi, Lagos State, today struck out a case filed against the University of Lagos (UNILAG) by some student activists who alleged unjust rustication by the institution.


The rusticated students sued the university to contest the school management’s decision. One of the affected students, Femi Adeyeye, was suspended for four semesters on account of a Facebook post in which he criticized the authorities at UNILAG.

In his ruling, Justice Faji today struck out the case on technical grounds, pointing to a difference between filing a notice and making a notice. He urged the aggrieved students to “file a notice” on the school for the matter to be heard.

“There is quite a distinction between filing a case and making a case. This case cannot be filed on ex-parte because the other party has to be duly informed. Therefore, because the respondent was not notified when it should have been, this matter is at this moment struck out,” the judge stated.

However, the students’ counsel, Kayode Owolabi expressed optimism that the case was not totally over, adding that his clients would continue to fight until justice was won and the affected students reinstated by UNILAG.

“The case was struck out, which means we have two options: to either appeal the ruling or file a motion of notice on the school. We won’t relent until we make sure the students are reinstated to join their colleagues in school,” said Mr. Owolabi.

Most of the students were punished by UNILAG administrators for participating in peaceful protests held between April 6 and 8 2016 to demand adequate welfare for students

PoliticsYouth, The Tools In The Hands Of Politicians(photo) by Gerald620(op): 9:20pm On Feb 22, 2017
My fear is that our youths are now puppets. The government has gained a rooted ground manipulating our youths; During election campaigns, political aspirants would promise us 'paradise', assure us a better life and many golden promises. They employ these strategies just to gain our supports --we campaign for them, lure close relatives to vote for them and tell and mobilize friends from far and near to cast their votes in their favor.
Now, my question is WHEN THEY GET INTO OFFICE , SWINGING POWERS, DO THEY STILL REMEMBER UShuh
2019 is just a stone's throw from now. These wolves in sheep's clothing will certainly come again to hire us cheaply as usual, cajoling us with ritual monies to do our glorified MAGIC so they can gain the masses. Permit me to discuss my ordeal as far back as a minor(-18).*This man came to my area in a flashy car, assembled the youths and stupidly ask us to campaign and vote for his uncle who is vying for a gubernatorial seat after which he had given a thousand naira which was in series of denominations. Ignorantly, some obliged, some countered. As a child, I watched the drama with despondence and realized how corruption has eaten into our facets. We've been bereft of the TRUTH
They only see us as THUGS! Thugs who can agitate in their favor, thugs who can incite a controversy, thugs who can engage a themselves in a political melee for their sake. Yes, thugs!

This is abysmally appealing! We've been used and manipulated alot. It's high time we stood our ground, our formidable ground. Let's avert any rambunctious exercise that will earn us a ruin of reputation, a prison room or degradation of nice appellations.
Nothing good comes from such their auspices.
We are the leaders of tomorrow

CrimeXenophobic Attacks On Nigerians: FG Warns S-africa Of Dire Consequences by Gerald620(op): 7:36am On Feb 21, 2017
By Clifford Ndujihe, Henry Umoru, Emman Ovuakporie,
Johnbosco Agbakwuru, Victoria Ojeme & Levinus
Nwabughiogu
ABUJA—AS fear of further attacks against Nigerians in
South Africa spreads, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora,
has called on the South African government to take decisive
measures to protect Nigerian citizens and other Africans in
the country.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Dabiri-Erewa described the
attacks as an unnecessary setback. Urging restraint on the
part of Nigerians, she warned that further attacks without
any reprimand may incur dire consequences.
She spoke as the Senate, yesterday, called for harder
stance against South Africa on the issue, just as the
Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora Matters, Rita Orji,
condemned alleged lackadaisical attitude of the Federal
Government towards the protection of Nigerians outside
the country, saying the government was more interested in
remittances than the welfare of citizens abroad.
Anyene said the union had reported the incident to the
Nigeria mission and South African police.
“As we speak, five buildings with Nigerian businesses,
including a church, have been looted and burned by South
Africans.
‘’One of the buildings is a mechanic workshop with 28 cars
under repairs, with other vital documents burnt during the
attack. Also, the pastor of the church was wounded and is
in the hospital receiving treatment,” Anyene said.
Disturbed by the renewed attacks, Dabiri-Erewa advised
Nigerians to be extra cautious because it looked like South
African government seemed to have no control over the
attacks.
The SSA, however, urged restraint on the part of Nigerians
and warned that further attacks without any reprimand may
have dire consequences.
Dabiri-Erewa said the AU was being called to intervene
because information had it that there will be more
xenophobic attacks against foreigners on February 22 and
23.
“These attacks should not be allowed to continue because it
is a big setback,” she said.
Two weeks ago, Dabiri-Erewa met with South African High
Commissioner in Nigeria, Mr Lulu Aaron-Mnguni, on the
killing of Nigerians in South Africa, who assured that the
South African government was investigating the matter.
“We have lost about 116 Nigerians in the last two years.
And in 2016 alone, about 20 were killed. This is
unacceptable to the people and government of Nigeria,”
Dabiri-Erewa said.
Cesspool of xenophobic attacks
Since 1994, South Africa has been a cesspool of sporadic
xenophobic attacks against foreigners with Zimbabweans,
Somalis, Mozambicans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Angolans and
Nigerians among others, being the victims.
In the case of Nigerians, the matter has been worsened by
recurring police brutality and extra-judicial killings, which in
2014 led Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to describe the
South African police brutality on a Nigerian, which was
caught on camera as “horror and particularly disturbing.”
Tochukwu Nnadi, a 34-year-old Nigerian businessman, was
killed by South African police on December 29, 2016.
How it began
In December 1994 and January 1995, armed youth gangs in
Alexandra Township outside of Johannesburg, Gauteng
Province, destroyed the homes and property of migrants
and marched the individuals down to the local police
station where they demanded that the foreigners be forcibly
and immediately removed.
This was to be followed by a series of more violent attacks
across the country in 1998, 2000, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2015
and 2016.
In August 2000, seven xenophobic killings were reported in
the Cape Flats district of Cape Town. Seven foreigners from
different African countries were killed on the Cape Flats.
Among those attacked were two Nigerians, one Kenyan
and two Angolans.
On May 11, 2008, an outburst of xenophobic violence in the
Johannesburg township of Alexandra triggered more
xenophobic violence in other townships. First, it only spread
in the Gauteng Province. After two weeks, the violence
jumped to other urban areas across the country, mainly
Durban, Cape Town and Limpopo Province.
In January 2015, Somali shop owner shot and killed a 14-
year-old boy, Siphiwe Mahori, during an alleged robbery in
Soweto Township. The boy was shot in the neck and died
within 15 minutes. Lebogang Ncamla, 23, was another
victim when he was shot three times in the arm. The
incident triggered waves of attacks and looting of foreign-
owned shops.
On March 5, 2015, xenophobic attacks occurred in Limpopo
Province. Foreigners on the outskirts of Polokwane left their
shops after protesting villagers threatened to burn them
alive and then looted shops. Violence erupted in the Ga-
Sekgopo area after a foreign shop owner was found in
possession of a mobile phone belonging to a local man who
was killed.
On April 8, 2015, a spate of xenophobic violence occurred
after Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini made comments that
foreigners should go back to their home countries because
they were changing the nature of the South African society
with their goods and enjoying wealth that should have been
for local people.
For almost a week, the attacks on foreign nationals reigned.
On April 12, 2015, in KwaZulu-Natal, shops in Umlazi and
KwaMashu, outside Durban, were torched. In V Section, a
shop owned by a foreign national was set on fire by a mob.
Five people were reportedly killed.
On April 14, 2015, looting of foreign shops spread to
Verulam, north of Durban following a day of clashes
between locals, foreigners, and police in the city centre,
KwaZulu-Natal. About 300 local people looted foreign-
owned shops.
Senate urges harder stance against S/Africa
Piqued, the Senate, yesterday, condemned in very strong
terms, the recurring and renewed atta cks on Nigerians in
South Africa and asked the Federal Federal government to
take a harder stance against the country.
Speaking with journalists, Senate Committee Chairman on
Diaspora, Senator Rose Oko, who expressed dissatisfaction
over continuous killings of Nigerians in South Africa, said
she has written a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to
furnish the committee with what really transpired.
“We have written to Ministry of foreign Affairs to avail us
with what happened in South Africa between the Police and
the man. We condemned, in very strong terms, these
attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
“You are aware that in 2016 alone, about 20 Nigerians were
killed in extra-judicial manner. Before this time, several had
been killed in like manner. There are several incidences of
xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa. You are
also aware that Nigeria/ South Africa have excellent
diplomatic ties . In 2013, when there were xenophobic
attacks, former President Goodluck Jonathan signed
Memorandum of Understanding to re-enforce diplomatic
ties,” she said.
Noting that killings of Nigerians in South Africa were against
all known laws across the globe, Senator Oko said the
committee would come up with a motion on the floor of the
Senate on the matter.
The chairman wondered why Nigeria should have excellent
diplomatic relationship with South Africa, if the country was
not hospitable to Nigerians residing there.
“These attacks came notwithstanding the contributions
Nigeria made towards liberation of South Africa during the
apartheid regine. You begin to wonder why all these
attacks? The Federal Government should take harder
stance against the country,” Oko said.
Rep knocks FG on protection of Nigerians abroad
Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora Matters, Rep Rita
Orji, decried the Federal Government’s attitude towards the
protection of Nigerians outside the country, saying the
government paid more attention to remittances from
citizens abroad than their welfare.
The lawmaker said even if the government decided to keep
quiet in the midst of the incessant attacks on Nigerians,
especially in South Africa, she will not keep mute.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, yesterday, Orji, who
represents Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal Constituency of Lagos
State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, said the government was not doing anything to protect
Nigerians in the Diaspora.
Insisting that she was not going to be part of the
“conspiracy of silence”, Orji said Nigerians in Diaspora were
only dear to the government of Nigeria because of the funds
they remit to the country.
She also accused the government of over-protecting the
businesses and interests of South Africa to the detriment of
Nigeria. The government, she said, is not “taking a critical
look at what Nigerians in Diaspora face in those countries.
“Are they only important to us just because they need to
contribute to national development? Are we calling them
ours because we needed to get hard currencies remitted by
them? What about their health and their businesses, are
they being protected? Are they being taken care of in the
treaties we are signing in this country? Have we taken any
bold step to make sure that incessant killings of Nigerians
abroad unlawfully are being taken care of? These are
pertinent questions that any Nigerian that loves life would
ask. And why would this conspiracy of silence linger while
blood is being shed? Nigerians are being killed like chicken
in various countries and Nigerians are becoming
endangered species?”
Orji recounted some of the gory murder of Nigerians in
South Africa, Libya and other countries some of which she
said her committee had investigated and given the report
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with no visible action
taken.
She flayed the recent South African violence against
Nigerians, warning that no country has monopoly of
violence.
“South Africa has a lot of business interests in Nigeria; MTN
is there, Shoprite is springing up all over the place. Must we
protect the foreign interest to the detriment of Nigerians?
Now NCC is hell bent on reviewing upwards, the price of
data and voice calls in Nigeria to the detriment of
Nigerians. Even with the intervention of the National
Assembly, NCC is bent on doing that just to protect the
interest of the foreigners.”
Rep Orji called on the Foreign Affairs Ministry to call for a
full briefing from the Nigerian Embassy in South Africa “on
how many Nigerians were killed and how many houses were
burnt and property looted.
“The South African Government should bear in mind that
Nigerians know that they have interests, they have
businesses here, they have South Africans here, they should
not put their people in jeopardy.”
No provisions in the budget — Minister
Responding, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs,
Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim told the committee that though
it is the responsibility of the ministry to protect the interest
of Nigeria and Nigerians abroad, funds were not made
available to the Ministry until the 2017 budget proposals
that are being considered by the National Assembly.
Her words: “It is estimated that there are up to 15 million
Nigerians abroad. It is therefore a herculean task for the
ministry to provide protection and welfare assistance when
no provision was made for that purpose in the budget.
Other countries make financial provision for repatriation of
remains, lost income and loss of passport, funeral
expenses, medical bills, amongst others, which our
missions can’t due to paucity of funds. Yet, Nigerians
expect, unrealistically, missions to offer these services.”
According to her, it is only in the 2017 budget that the sum
of N400 million was appropriated. “This is clearly
inadequate to cover the sheer volume and complexity of
the consular challenges facing Nigerian Missions abroad,
including the strategic engagement with Nigerians in the
Diaspora.”
She said the number of Nigerians in prisons abroad was
15,316 as at December, 2015, noting that, “the update for
2016 is not complete as the Ministry is awaiting updates
from our missions abroad.
“Regrettably, some Nigerians are on death row in countries
like Indonesia, with about 13 inmates for drug related
offences.”
The Minister said Nigerians in Diaspora remitted over $21
billion in 2015, and that in recognition of the huge potentials
of Nigerians in Diaspora for national development, the
Diaspora Desks in Nigerian Missions abroad are now to be
part of the Economic Section.

PoliticsFEATURED PDP Crisis: Sheriff Meets Jonathan, Makarfi Appeals Judgment(photo) by Gerald620(op): 6:54am On Feb 21, 2017
By Olusola Fabiyi and Leke Baiyewu.

The National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party , Senator Ali Modu Sheriff,
met with former President Goodluck Jonathan
at the ex - President ’ s residence in Abuja on
Monday.
The meeting , which held behind closed doors ,
was also attended by Sheriff’ s Deputy National
Chairman , Dr . Cairo Ojougboh ; Acting National
Publicity Secretary , Mr . Bernard Mikko ; and the
National Youth Leader , Mr. Demis Alonge - Niyi .
Also at the meeting were the party ’ s National
Secretary , Prof . Wale Oladipo, and the Financial
Secretary , Mr . Adewole Adeyanju.
As the meeting was ongoing, the sacked
National Caretaker Committee of the party said
it had appealed the Court of Appeal judgment
which removed it from office .
The committee , which was headed by a former
Governor of Kaduna State , Senator Ahmed
Makarfi , stated this after the faction ’ s
stakeholders ’ meeting .
The meeting was held at the private residence
of the Governor of Ekiti State , Mr . Ayodele
Fayose , who is the Chairman of the PDP
Governors ’ Forum.
Jonathan , who met Sheriff and his entourage ,
referred to the former governor of Borno State
as his chairman.
As soon as Jonathan was ushered into the
sitting room , where his guests were seated, and
sighted Sheriff , he stretched his hands to him
and said , “ My chair . ”
Even after their closed- door meeting , which
was held with a few members of Sheriff’ s
entourage , the former President still referred to
Sheriff as “ my chairman. ”
Speaking with journalists after the meeting ,
Jonathan said the troubled party remained one ,
adding that there was no faction in it .
Acknowledging that there were problems in the
party , the ex- President , however , stated that
efforts were being made to resolve them.
Jonathan added , “ We are solving our problems.
There are bound to be differences in politics . It
is the way we resolve these differences that
makes us human beings and that is what makes
us leaders .
“ We are not factionalised; we are one . I have
met with Sheriff and I have met with others . I
will meet with others (again ) so that we will be
able to do what is expected of us as a political
party . ”
In his remarks , Sheriff said he would not
respond to the unprintable names he was being
called by his traducers , stating that there would
be no difference between him and those
against him if he decided to respond to them.
“ I will not respond to the name - calling because
if I do, there would be no difference between
them and me . Very soon, you will hear from me
when I finish my consultation as I will roll out
my programmes that will lead to the holding of
a national convention , ” he added .
At the PDP Stakeholders ’ meeting , however, the
Makarfi group passed a vote of confidence in
the caretaker committee , insisting that the
committee would remain in place until the
determination of its appeal at the Supreme
Court .
A former Minister of Information , Prof . Jerry
Gana , read the communique of the meeting ,
which was attended by the governors of Akwa
Ibom State (Udom Emmanuel ); Delta State
( Ifeanyi Okowa ); Rivers State (Nyesom Wike);
and the Deputy Senate President , Senator Ike
Ekweremadu .
Members of the National Assembly , former
ministers, former governors and members of
the Board of Trustees of the party were also in
attendance.
Reading the communique , Gana said , “ That we
fully endorse the prompt and proactive decision
of the National Caretaker Committee to lodge
an appeal at the Supreme Court of Nigeria
against the decision of the Court of Appeal as
well as filing an application for injunction
pending an appeal, all of which were done in
the morning of Monday, February 20 , 2017 .
“ Having duly filed both an appeal at the
Supreme Court and an application for
injunction pending appeal in the morning of
Monday, February 20 , 2017 , we pass a
resounding and unqualified vote of confidence
in the leadership of the Senator Makarfi - led
National Caretaker Committee of the PDP and
pledge our unalloyed support to it as it pilots
the affairs of the party in this critical
transitional period of the party ’ s life .
“ To this end, we are not at all deceived by the
supposed olive branch being offered by Senator
Ali Modu Sherrif , knowing that the only thing
that can come from traitors of his ilk is nothing
but a poisoned chalice and a Greek gift. ”
Earlier in the day , the Nigeria Police Force had
barricaded the International Conference Centre,
Abuja , venue of the scheduled stakeholders ’
meeting .
The action , it was gathered, was sequel to the
judgment of the Court of Appeal in Port
Harcourt , which , on Friday, recognised Sheriff
as the national chairman of the party .
A ’ court judgment, solution to crisis , says Uzodinma
Meanwhile , a member of the Sheriff- led faction
of the PDP , Senator Hope Uzodinma , on
Monday, described the judgment of the Court of
Appeal , nullifying the National Caretaker
Committee of the party , as a political solution .
“ The last judgment by the Appeal Court has
created a window for a political solution, ” he
said .
Uzodinma , in an interview with journalists in
Abuja , faulted the embattled Makarfi for calling
a party stakeholders ’ meeting on Monday after
he had been sacked by the appellate court .
He said , “ We are not talking about factions
anymore . I am a lawmaker and not a law -
breaker. If the Appeal Court has said Sheriff is
the chairman, it goes without saying that
people , who understand the doctrine of the rule
of law , should obey the pronouncement of the
court of competent jurisdiction , unless,
otherwise , any court of superior record, in this
instance, the Supreme Court , says tomorrow
that Sheriff is no longer the chairman .
“ For Makarfi to now want to summon a meeting on
behalf of the PDP , we want to ask why ? Committed
members of the party like us will not even look up to any
court for solution to this impasse .”

CrimeBaby Dies After Mum Feeds Him Kerosene (photo) by Gerald620(op): 10:42pm On Feb 19, 2017
By Alexander Okere.

An 18 - month- old boy has died after consuming
a bottle of kerosene, which his mother served
him as water in Ikpoba- Okha Local Government
Area of Edo State .
The incident reportedly occurred on Iguma
Street , off Medical road in Benin , the state
capital .
The deceased , identified as Israel Buhari , was
said to have received the substance from his
mother , a kerosene vendor , when he
complained of thirst at about 10 am last
Tuesday .
It was learnt that the little boy gulped the
petroleum product, but spat out the rest of the
content when it became unpalatable for him .
The mother , Mrs . Ata, was said to have realised
that she had served her only son the wrong
drink when he screamed in pain from the
impact of the ingested substance.
SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that neighbours , who
were invited for help by his mother, offered the
victim some palm oil before rushing him to a
hospital where he died few hours later.
A source said , “ Few minutes after ingesting the
substance, the little child ’ s eyes turned pure
white as he screamed uncontrollably. ”
Kerosene sold by retailers is commonly stored
in old beverage containers in several parts of
the country.
Ata, who hails from Kogi State , said one of her
children had filled the bottle with water , which
they took to their store on the day the incident
occurred .
But she added that she had mistakenly picked
the one containing kerosene and given it to her
child to quench his thirst.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Moses Nkombe, on Saturday , could not
confirm the incident to our correspondent.
Nkombe said , “ I have not been briefed . Most of
these issues , especially when they are caused
by the parents , hardly go to the police . So ,
there is ‘ no suspect . ’”

CrimeMuhammad Buhari Undergoes P*nis Surgery by Gerald620(op): 12:14am On Feb 18, 2017
Nine-month-old Buhari Muhammad, whose genital was cut off
by his step-mother, has undergone first corrective surgery at
the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, Niger.
Mrs Mariam Kolo, the Director-General of the state Child
Rights Protection Agency, made this known in an interview
with newsmen in Minna on Friday.
Kolo told journalists that the surgery was part of the series of
operations that the boy would undergo.
“He was operated upon by four neurologists and he is
responding to treatment. “Several other tests will still be
conducted to prepare him for the next operation,’’ Kolo said.
Newsmen recall that Muhammad’s genital was cut off by his
17-year-old step mother, Bara’atu Muhammad, when he was
barely a month old.
The incident occurred in Dafe community in Shiroro Local
Government Area of Niger in June 2016.
The step-mother had confessed that she took the action
because she was jealous and that she also wanted to get
back at the victim’s mother, whom, she claimed was always
insulting her. Muhammad was subsequently remanded in
Minna prison.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, told
journalists that the suspect was still in Minna Prison, pending
the conclusion of investigations.
“Under the Police Criminal Law, the suspect is an adult, she is
above seven years; therefore, she can be convicted and
hanged for the offence,” Elkana said.

By Olalekan Adetayo , Abuja.

State governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum are holding a meeting in the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting is being presided over by the Chairman of the NGF who is also the Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulazeez Yari.



The meeting is meant to afford the governors the opportunity of taking common stands on issues ahead a meeting of the National Economic Council scheduled for Thursday.

The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, chairs the NEC which has all state governors as members.

It was further learnt that the governors’ meeting will review the probe being carried out by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on the Paris Club loan refund to states.

THE PUNCH had reported on Tuesday that the governors had convened a meeting on the matter.
