My attention was rightly drawn to a report on Thisday live where a faceless group spoke on the return of Dr Olusegun Mimiko to Labour Party.

This personal reply is requisite because the said group, while supposedly condemning the return of the former governor, appeared to be speaking in our support.

Let me state unequivocally that Dr Olusegun Mimiko is free to return to this Party he helped nurtured. I have nothing against his return and I state without any reservation that his coming will be a good addition to this party at this time. He is a brother and a well experienced politician.

Though rules of engagement have since changed with our new leadership, we are resolute about building a well structured party where the generality of the people, not few individuals, have the way.
We made a solemn promise to return this party to the masses who truly own it and that we shall make happen. Irrespective of who knocks on our door, our ideologies cannot be compromised, Our resolve for best practices, internal democracy and rule of law is sacrosanct.

While appealing to individuals and aggrieved members to eschew acrimony and embrace peace across board, I assure all, again, that the mandate freely given to me at the October 3rd Special National Convention shall be upheld to the success of the party. You have given us the mandate, we shall give you the victory.

To all loyal party members across the country, thank you for standing firm, you are all the reason this great party has not been confined to the dustbin of history in spite of past dealings that only promote the interests of very few minority.

The woman of God, Prophetess Nonnie Roberson mounted the podium with great message of hope and the need for an encounter with God in different dimensions with the theme "New Wine Drinkers" for those that know God shall do exploits. That was followed with several Worship songs and presentation from the various guest Gospel musical artistes that graced the occasion.

The Prayer Conference entered its second and final day, morning session at the same venue with interactive sessions, in-depth questions & answers, counselling, fruit of the womb ministration, women in clergy sermons, deliverance services and workshops.

IMPRESSIVE: Anambra Commissioner Bonaventure Enemali Endorses "Kick Against Malaria" Novelty Match. (photos)

The young, vibrant and devoted Igala man from Anambra minority tribe, Hon. Commissioner Bonaventure Enemali, has endorsed project "kick Against Malaria" novelty match. The endorsement of the project by the honourable commissioner of youths entrepreneurship and Sport development is geared at engaging a responsive and collective action towards eradicating the Malaria parasite in Anambra state.

The convener of the project, Queen Cynthia Ngozi Azubuogu affirmed the endorsement when she shared photos of the endorsement deal on her Instagram page.

She applauded Comm. Bonaventure Enemali for his courageous input and unequivocal support towards the approval of project "kick against Malaria" by Anambra state government.

The commissioner of youths and Sports who is so adept in the advancement of projects initiated by youths and entrepreneurship development happens to be among the first appointees of Governor Obiano led administration in Anambra state.

He was appointed for his credits and innovative inputs towards the growth and development of  humanity, especially youths in Anambra state. However, his appointment as the first commissioner of youths and Sports from Anambra state university Alumni reflected the commitment of Governor Obiano towards improving indigenous structures and elements in Anambra state.

Basically, the Novelty match will be played between Beauty Queens and the Ifeanyi Ubah FC female team. The match will be held at FC Ifeanyi Ubah stadium in Nnewi  on the 22nd April 2018.

The match highlights the devastating challenges of malaria; its threat to livelihood and the required commitments needed to torpedo the deadly parasite.

Several children, youths and adults die everyday from malaria illness. This record is worrisome, and the need to sustain a counterintuitive strategy is inevitable.

Therefore , project "Kick Against Malaria" is indeed a provisional intervention to the dearth which malaria has caused in Anambra state and the entire Nigeria community.‎

SAUDI MILITARY, NOA ADVOCATE ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE ON TERRORISM.

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has advocated for an alternative narrative to counter the spread of hate and violence which the sponsors of terrorism around the world preach as religious ideologies.
The Director General of the Agency, Dr. Garba Abari made this call when a delegation from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (MCTC) led by Brigadier-General Abdullah Al-Fehaid visited the NOA headquarters in Abuja.

The four man military delegation is in Nigeria to meet with relevant agencies to discuss specific collaboration opportunities across areas of interest in counter Terrorism in Nigeria.
Dr. Abari said the two major sects in Islam namely Sunnis and Derik need to work together on a scholarly response to the Boko Haram ideology relying mainly on the Quran and the Hadith.  According to him, the Agency has a robust network of platforms to spread the new narrative across the country in a bid to achieve peace and development in Nigeria.

The Director General who identified extremism to be of two types said the planned narrative will be very successful in dealing with religious extremism while criminal elements can be dealt with in accordance with the law of the land.  He called on the stakeholders especially those in countries where religious extremism is undermining peace and progress to work together to fight and counter the blight of terrorism around the world.

Explaining the work of the Agency in the fight against terrorism, Dr Abari said it has been engaging with Islamic Clerics (Ulamas) Christian church leaders, traditional rulers, opinion leaders, schools, Civil Society organizations and security agencies on intelligence gathering and peace building processes to develop alternative orientation that will curb the spread of radical ideology around the world.

In his remark, the team leader of the Saudi delegation, Brigadier Al Fehaid agreed with the NOA DG saying the team was in the country to strategise and unite with members of the coalition countries and complement the efforts made by these countries to eradicate violent and radical ideologies in these countries.
Al-Fehaid said the 2018 work plan  is to leverage and enhance coalition engagement and communication, seek impactful initiative and strengthen institutional capacity among member countries. He said the terrorism coalition which Nigeria is a member is also in partnership with non members countries particularly, the United Kingdom, France and United States for information gathering, finance restriction and review of media narrative on counter terrorism.

A former House of Representative member, Hon Independence Ogunewe is dead. 

Nigerians received the news earlier today with shock. Hon. Ogunewe was a politician with exceptional policies rarely seen among “the political gladiators currently dominating our political climate."

“He was upright, cerebral, courageous and loyal to his electorates while he was serving in various public offices."

“His wealth of experience and contributions to the political landscape in Imo State and Nigeria in general will be greatly missed."

As a two-time member of the Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Hon. Ogunewe made several indelible marks at the the green chamber. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the Speaker of House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara immediately issued a heartfelt eulogy upon hearing of the death of Hon Ogunewe. In a press statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Turaki Hassan, Dogara expressed shock over the sudden passing of the former lawmaker. “Ogunewe was a man of courage who stood for the truth always”, said Dogara.

In truth, During the 5th & 6th Assembly, we can’t forget the huge impacts left behind by the former astute legislator. We remember his heroic roles in bringing about many people-oriented policies in the country under his leadership of various committees in both the 5th and 6th legislatures. We also cannot forget his many acts of philanthropy, which the people of his Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency greatly benefitted from. Some of Ogunewe’s legislative legacies include his co-sponsorship of the motion that stopped a hasty handover of the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon until key national issues were sorted out. This motion, no doubts, contributed to the welfare of the indigenous people of bakassi, most of whom were resettled by the government before the eventual handover of their communities to the neighbouring country. 

Again, Ogunewe’s many poverty alleviation schemes, as well as women and youth empowerment schemes, are some of his acts of kindness that will remain indelible now that he’s gone.

Nigerians in general and Imolites in particular commiserate with the people of Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency over this painful loss of their benefactor. No doubts, his roles as a key voice of Democracy in Nigeria will be greatly missed. May the Lord rest his soul in perfect Peace.‎http://www.abujapress.com/2018/04/hon-independence-ogunewe-incalculable.html?m=1

The King Center has disowned the award purportedly given to President Buhari by members of the Martin Luther King Jr's family.

The center, in a statement issued on Twitter,said “The award given to President Buhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of The King Center or by the children of #MLK and #CorettaScottKing. @MrFixNigeria”

You will recall that Buhari, on Monday, March 26, 2018, received the family at the State House, Abuja.

Vanguard also reports that they were in Abuja to confer Mr. President with the First Black History Month National Black Excellence and Exceptional African Leadership Award 2018.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) also reported that Martin Luther King Jr’s nephew, Isaac newton-Farris Jnr,  urged Nigerians to unite and join hands with President Buhari to complete the work which he begun in setting Nigeria on the right path and building a country every Nigerian would be proud of.

A luncheon was also organised by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri- Erewa in honour of the visiting Luther family, and also to mark the first Black History Month in Nigeria.

Dabiri-Erewa , told newsmen that the Luther family was in Nigeria to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King jnr.
