HNosegbe: If only our Muslim politicians would simply abide with these regulations, rather than using public funds to build new mosques or make repeated trips to Mecca...

Nice observation bro. even our christian polititians 2 are no saints eventhough we hav similar injuctions in d Holy Bible which dey claim to uphold.

AKURE — DETECTIVES in
OndoState have detained a
primary school teacher,
Alade Adebayo, for
allegedly flogging to death
a four-year-old female
pupil Elizabeth Wanogha.
The deceased pupil was a
student of a private
primary school, Falaye
Memorial Nursery and
Primary School, located at
Fanibi area in Akure
metropolis.
The teacher, according to
report, accused the
deceased of being
stubborn in the class. He
was said to have beaten
the girl to a state of coma.
Cries from other pupils in
the class reportedly
attracted other teachers
who rushed to the scene
where they found that the
girl had fainted.
She was said to have been
rushed to a private
hospital and was admitted
but reportedly died later.
Police authorities,
however, said that the
pupil died two weeks after
the beating by the suspect.
The father of the deceased,
Mr Wanogha lodged a
complaint at the Fanibi
Police station, alleging that
his daughter died as a
result of the injuries
sustained from the severe
beating by her teacher.
Following the complaint,
the teacher was arrested
for interrogation.
Contacted, the Police
image maker, Wole Ogodo,
confirmed that the teacher
had been arrested.
Ogodo however said that
people should not jump
into conclusion that it was
the beating which took
place about two weeks
earlier that led to the
death of the pupil.
He pointed out that the
autopsy will determine the
cause of the pupil’s death.
Ogodo said that the
suspect is being quizzed at
the state Criminal
Investigative Department,
SCID.
He explained further that
the deceased was
hospitalised immediately
after the beating but died
two weeks after.
Ogodo said that
investigation into the death
of the pupil continues
adding that the findings
would be made public.
The father of the deceased
pupil insisted that the
teacher should be
prosecuted for murder.
Mr wanogho who lived at
Adebowale street Fanibi
vowed that the matter
would be pursued to a
logical conclusion to serve
as deterrent to wicked
teachers who vent their
anger on innocent pupils
put in their care.
He appealed to NGOs to
take the matter up by
ensuring that it was not
swept under the carpet.
The proprietor of the
school declined comment
on the incident.

RIP too d dead jor.

Mr Yinka Odumakin is the
National Publicity Secretary
of the Yoruba socio-
political organization,
Afenifere. In this interview,
he takes a swipe at the All
Progressive Congress, APC,
for kicking against the
National Conference
proposed by President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Excerpts:
In recent times, you have
taken a decision that is
favorably disposed to the
National Conference
proposed by President
Goodluck Jonathan. What is
the basis of your
optimism?
Dr Tunji Braithwaite said at
the town hall meeting
recently, that the
conference is a divine
agenda to perhaps give
Nigeria a lease of life
because Nigeria, as it is, is
heading for the precipe.
Next year will be our
centenary celebration and
there is a widespread
mood among those who
are frustrated with the way
Nigeria has distorted the
aspiration of its people.
And that may be the year
to put an end to Nigeria.
Here is President Goodluck
Jonathan who, two years
ago, said there was no
need for a National
Conference. All of a
sudden, he changed his
mind. I think it is
something that all those
who want this country to
continue, who love this
country and who believe
that there is an alternative
for this country before it
disintegrates, should grab
with both hands to ensure
that we sit down for the
first time in our history
since 1914 that we were
amalgamated to discuss
this nation.
The North and South did
not meet until 1946,
though amalgamation took
place in 1914. There is a
structural imbalance. So,
this conference has given
us an opportunity for the
component units of the
country to come together,
for the first time, and
discuss their union of how
they want to live together
so that we can live in
peace and harmony.
The suspicion is that
President Jonathan has
been stifled by the North,
which is clamouring for
power and that his sudden
change of mind is spurred
by the fact that he wants
power in 2015.
Well, sceptics are free to
their opinions and I think
the issue is that the
credibility of President
Jonathan is at stake or that
he wants power but I think
that should not be the
consideration of those who
love this country. It is just
the fact that he has
provided a window for
reforms and we should
turn that window into a
door.
I have said it before that
the fears of the cynics is
that they doubt Jonathan’s
intention and also that they
do not want Nigeria
restructured. The major
groups, given that the
Okunrounmu panel has
been going round the
country, there is an
emerging consensus that
every section of Nigeria
wants a conference. There
may be divergence on how
we should compose and
there is the consensus that
representation should be
on the basis of
nationalities.
There is a kind of
understanding that the
existing geo-political zones
should be used as basis for
representation. Every
section of this country has
accepted the conference
but the only people who
are against this conference
are the All Progressive
Congress.
What informed your
allegation?
It shows that they are in
politics not for the people
but about themselves. I
think they have this
thinking that this is their
best time to go to the
centre. They have been
recruiting people from the
Peoples Democratic Party
which they said was a
corrupt and useless party,
they have been going
round to meet governors
to join them. There are
some delusions in their
approach, they must be
poor students of history to
think that they can vote
any sitting president out of
office.
So for a group of people to
think that one man will be
in charge of the armed
forces and they will still
defeat him, I want to see
them making that history.
More importantly, people,
over the years, have been
talking about true
federalism and the rest this
is an opportunity for us to
achieve that,and to now
begin to raise all kinds of
excuses to frustrate the
desire of our people to get
out of bondage shows one
thing, they want to lead
the people they do not
understand.
It takes the Yoruba people
to come to a consensus on
any issue but once they
come to that consensus, it
will be difficult to change
position. Those who did it
in the First Republic saw it,
those who followed Abacha
in 1993 to 1999, what
happened to them? From
the 1950s, what the
Yoruba have fought for is
Nigeria’s autonomy, true
federalism, now they want
to have that autonomy and
some people want to stand
on their way and say they
cannot have it saying they
should wait till after the
2015 election.
They are deceiving our
people. Go and ask for the
APC manifesto today, it is
there that they are
committed to the same
Constitution that enslaves
our people. So if they say
we should wait till after
election, who are they
deceiving, when they have
written in their manifesto
that they are committed to
the existing Constitution?
They just want to do
‘Gbajue’ for our people or
one chance. And our
people will not fall for that.
From what happened in
Akure and Lagos, it was
clear that there was no
organisation in Yoruba
land that is not in support
of this conference.
Afenifere, Yoruba Unity
Forum, OPC – everybody
was there! It was clear
where we are. So they are
standing against the people
and I watch them and
laugh. One man came in
the plane, he had not even
stepped down from the
plane and he said he does
not want the conference
and all of you now say that
is the thing. Were the
present governors in
Yorubaland the same
governors in Yorubaland in
1999?
How can we talk about
constitutional development
and issue for Nigeria and
some people, who are
governors in the South-
west, would not think they
should consult their
leaders – those who are
the authorities in their
states? That Fashola would
not even ask Mr. Tunji
Braithwaite: ‘Sir, what do
you think about this
matter? before taking sides
with a man who just
jumped down from the
plane, who has not talked
to anybody?
That in Ogun State,
Governor Ibikunle Amosun
would not go to Kola
Ajibola, a former Attorney-
General, a former World
Court judge – ‘what do you
think sir, about this
matter?’ before following a
man who just came from
the plane and was takling
about the conference. That
in Ekiti State, a Kayode
Fayemi would not think
that: what does Chief Afe
Babalola or Wole
Olanipekun think about this
matter? Let this conference
hold, after that, you will
come and face the Yoruba
people.
How do you think this
conference can be useful
such that the Yoruba race
can make the best out of
it?
Of the tripod in Nigeria,
Yoruba is the only one that
has never questioned the
corporate existence of
Nigeria. After the legislative
crisis of 1946, the Sadauna
was quoted to have said
“the mistake of 1914 has
come to fore”, that is the
amalgamation was a
mystic. And in the revenge
coup of 1966, the theme
was ‘Araba’, lets divide
Nigeria.
In fact, after the 1953
motion by Enahoro for
independence, the North
came out with their own
agenda which amounted to
nothing but confederation.
When the Igbo got
frustrated, they took up
arms against Nigeria for
three and a half years. In
fact, at every point, in
spite of what they did to
Awolowo between 1960
and 1965, Yoruba never
took arms against Nigeria,
to say let us divide the
country.
For five years, we engaged
Abacha; there was no
resolution that we should
divide Nigeria. So we
believe Nigeria can prosper
through federalism and
Yoruba will be going to the
conference asking for true
federalism and regional
autonomy. That is what we
want out of this conference
because we know the
benefits and we know that
dangers of not having it.
Any experiment with a
unitary Constitution in a
multi-ethnic and multi-
lingua nation is bound to
fail. And if you are in
doubt, go to Sudan – two
major nationalities on
unitary constitution were at
war for over 50 years.
In Cyprus; the Spanish
speaking and the Turkish
speaking, for over 1,000
years they have been
together, there is still
tension. In Syria today, the
Kurds have been asking for
autonomy for a long time.
Even the problem in Iraq
was because the one
million Kurds there were
asking for autonomy.
Yugoslavia has disappeared
from the world map since
1991.
So we believe that for
Nigeria not to disintegrate,
we need to come together,
understand ourselves and
then constitute ourselves
in a way that we can live
together in peace and
harmony. Why Nigeria is
not working is that it is said
that the speed of a convoy
is that of the slowest
moving vessel. That is, if
you have ten vessels and
there is one among them
that does not have
locomotion like the rest,
that will be the speed of
that convoy; except the
others get frustrated and
decide to break away from
that convoy, they will
continue to move at the
same speed.
That is what Nigeria has
been doing in 53 years,
because we are not
exposed to the same level
of speed at the same time.
Between 1955 and 1965
when Awolowo led Western
Nigeria, the least we spent
on education was 29.8
percent in any year. There
was even a time he spent
41 percent. Now suddenly
you came and say you
want…unitarism – you
want to standardise – you
want all of us who have
not invested that kind of
money to go at the same
pace. So for as long as
your son cannot score 200
in JAMB, my son who
scores 201 does not have a
place in the university
whereas your own son
who scored 100, because
he is not from my area
where I’ve invested in
education over a long time,
must go to the university
while there is no space for
my own.
The second thing, it is said
that birds of identical
pulmage flock together.
That is the normal thing,
but in order not for birds
of identical pulmage to
flock together in Nigeria,
Nigeria puts all the birds in
one cage and locked them
up and then because the
birds are not in their
natural habitats – because
birds are supposed to fly –
but they cannot fly
anymore, then start to
peck and bark at
themselves inside the cage.
But now the president has
gone ahead to say the
outcome of the conference
is to be submitted to the
National Assembly as part
of the ongoing
constitutional amendment,
which those who against
the idea have further
pointed to as part of the
flaws of the proposed
conference?
The statement made by the
president was a convenient
excuse for those who don’t
want the conference ab-
initio. Well, even if
President Jonathan said we
would take it to the
National Assembly, which
we have disagreed with, is
it not better than them
who said they are
committed to the current
Constitution that enslaves
our people?
We have disagreed with the
president on that and I
think the president himself
must have seen what the
people are saying. The final
authority lies with the
Nigerian people and it is
very clear. The president
put his view on the table
but his view may not be
the view. When we finish,
the National Assembly
promulgates our
constitution into law; they
will repeal the current the
present decree which
Abdulsalami promulgated;
Decree 24, and put in the
new Constitution that has
been produced by we the
people.

deols: I read this on Governor Aregbesola's wall. I find it a beautiful story of selflessness and thought to share..


Discovering and empowering the "golden eaglets" of Kastina

The Katsina State Minority Leader in the state house of assembly, Hon Abdullahi Mahuta had this touching story to share with us.......

Last week after the Sallah break, my two children, who I transferred to a public school in Katsina, said they would not go back to school with their canvas and sandal shoes. They insisted that they would only be wearing bathroom slippers to school because all their friends in the school are using same to school and that some come to school without shoes .

Initially I told their mother to allow them to use the slippers, but my little daughter advised: "Father, pls buy sandals for all the pupils in the school so that my brothers can also wear sandals". I thought I could not buy sandals for all the pupils in that school. I called the headmaster and asked him the number of students in the school. He told me they are about 800. After a rough calculation, I realized that it will cost about N230,000 only to buy a pair of sandals and white socks for every child in the school.

Alhamdulillah! Yesterday, by the will of Allah, I bought and distributed the sandals for all the 800 children in the school. And today we are also in sha Allah, we are going to distribute for all the students of another primary school at Tsamiya mai Lamba village, at Gora ward in Malumfashi LGA.

Just imagine, if only the 34 members of KTHA, 34 LG chairmen and the about 40 commissioners and SAs will do the same, over 100,000 pupils would be saved from the problems of (Sanyi, Kaya da kusoshin da ka iya ji ma yara ciwo) meaning thorns and cracked legs

I therefore call on you the people to insist that all public office holders enroll their children into public schools to be friends, help, give hope and play together with the children of the poor. among us.

Attached is his picture, putting on sandals for one of the pupils..we are indeed proud of this scion of the APC

WILL Governor Chibuike
Amaechi of Rivers State
dump the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, for
the All Progressive
Congress, APC?
This is the one million
dollar question on the lips
of many after the national
leadership of the APC
visited the governor at the
Government House, Port
Harcourt on Tuesday.
Thousands of people had
turned up from the 23
local government areas of
the state that day to join
Amaechi at the Helipad
field in Government House,
Port Harcourt to welcome
the chieftains of the APC.
Protocol officers had
challenges controlling the
large crowd. It was a
similar situation at the Port
Harcourt International
Airport, Omagwa. As early
as 6am that day,
supporters of the governor
had stormed the airport in
their large numbers waiting
to cheer him up on arrival.
Amaechi had traveled out
of the state the previous
day; so he was expected
back that morning ahead
of the visit of the APC
chieftains. There was a
mild drama at the airport
as the crowd was not
allowed beyond a point,
three to four kilometers to
the airport premises by
security operatives. The
restriction did not dampen
their spirit as they kept
singing and chanting pro-
Amaechi songs.

The governor finally landed
and was heading to
Government House, Port
Harcourt when he noticed
thousands of his
supporters at the Port
Harcourt/ Elele road. On
inquiry, he was told that
security men did not allow
them beyond that point.
Amaechi had to alight from
his vehicle and led them
into the airport. They
trekked a distance of about
four kilometers. And
together, they received the
visiting chieftains of the
APC. In a very long convoy,
the governor and his
visitors drove to
Government House, Port
Harcourt where another
crowd of supporters had
been waiting to be part of
the event.
The National Deputy
Chairman of the PDP
splinter group to which
Amaechi and seven other
governors belonging, Mr
Sam Jaja, was the first to
mount therostrum. He
poured encomiums on the
governor before the
National Chairman of the
APC; Chief Bisi Akande,
was called to speak.
Akande described Amaechi
as a courageous leader
who had continually
resisted impunity. He said
they were in the state to
invite him to join the APC
because it is a party for
progressive minds like the
governor.
“This is another important
stop, because it allows us,
the APC leaders, not only
to invite Chibuike Amaechi,
the courageous governor
of Rivers, to join the
growing APC family, but to
show our solidarity with a
man who has succeeded in
battling anti-democratic
forces to a standstill,”
Akande said.
“Let us be clear. Our party
has stood shoulder-to-
shoulder with Gov.
Amaechi since the
beginning of his travails.
We have been unrelenting
in our support because
our party stands for
justice, fairness and
unfettered freedom. We
abhor dictatorship clad in
fake democratic garments.
“We believe that the
system of government that
we operate does not make
provision for an imperial
presidency, who can
neither be criticised nor
opposed. That is why we
told those who said the
APC is crying more than
the bereaved on the Rivers
State issue, that we are
indeed the bereaved
anytime the rule of law is
supplanted with the rule of
the jungle; and we are the
bereaved anytime a
democratically-elected
president thumbs his nose
at the Nigerian
Constitution. Or how else
do we explain a situation
in which a duly elected
governor, who is known to
the Constitution as the
Chief Security Officer of his
state, is now being made
to run his state side by
side with the state police
commissioner, who has
been elevated to the de
facto governor by the
presidency?”.
A former governor of
Lagos State and chieftain of
the APC, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, who also lauded
the courage of the
governor, said he was
impressed with the records
of the administration.
Tinubu said they were not
in the state to campaign
but to invite Amaechi to
join the APC. He further
moved a motion which
enjoyed overwhelming
endorsement from the
crowd calling on the
governor to cross over to
the APC.
General Muhammad Buhari
lauded the success of the
governor in the area of
education, saying he was
deeply impressed. “My
hope rose today when the
governor showed us his
education programme.
Education is the best
legacy anybody can
bequeath to any society.
Education will help the
people to look after
themselves, their country
and after the people.
Ladies and gentlemen, I
congratulate the governor
for this noble step taken to
liberate the people from
ignorance and want. I have
so much respect for the
governor. We can as well
see his effort in other
sectors of the economy.
Ladies and gentlemen, I
can assure you that there
will be hope for our
children and ourselves
come 2015. I thank you
very much for this honor
done us”, he said.
The 23 local government
chairmen in Rivers State
also came out to pledge
their unflinching loyalty to
Amaechi, describing him as
their political leader. They
said they would follow him
to any party of his choice.
In their separate
comments, spokesmen for
the 26 pro-Amaechi
members of the Rivers
State House of Assembly
and the governor’s loyalists
in the National Assembly
also reaffirmed the
unflinching support of the
lawmakers to him. Speaker
of the state House of
Assembly, Hon Otelemaba
Amachree , urged the
governor to speedily
decide on when he would
join the APC.
He said they were tired of
hearing about his rumored
romance with the APC,
adding that what they
would want to hear next
was the marriage between
him and the party.” What
we are saying is that he
should quickly hurry up
because this romance with
the APC is getting too long.
We now want marriage,”
Amachree said.. “He
(governor) has been having
nocturnal meetings with
you; I must say we are sick
and tired of these
nocturnal meetings. In fact,
what the people are now
saying is marriage. Your
Excellency, and of course,
you know that when a bill
is presented for assent and
the governor fails to sign it,
what happens? The House
will veto it”.
Senator Magnus Abe, who
spoke for the senators
behind the governor,
described him as their
leader even as he called on
political parties to
encourage internal
discipline.
On his part, Hon Andrew
Uchendu of the House of
Representatives pledged
the loyalty of the pro-
Amaechi members of the
House of Representatives
from the state to the
governor.
Amaechi was later called to
respond to the request by
the APC leadership to join
the party. The governor,
who looked visibly excited,
grabbed the microphone
and sang a popular Igbo
Christian song, celebrating
God in his life.
He said he had listened to
the various speakers but
he would want to consult
with President Goodluck
Jonathan and other
stakeholders in the political
sector before deciding on
whether to dump the PDP.
The governor described
himself as special in the
committee of the seven
governors of the ‘New PDP’
because he is from the
same South-south zone
with President Jonathan.
“I am peculiar in the group
of the seven governors.
The president comes from
our zone. I will consult our
leaders, the president; I
will consult you (referring
to the mammoth crowd). I
will consult all consultables.
I will come back to you.
The day we shall take a
decision, it will be at the
new stadium that can take
40,000 persons. If we are
staying (referring to the
PDP), we shall call the
president to the stadium to
address; us if we are going,
we shall call Tinubu and
Buhari to come and
address us”, he said.
Amaechi, who took on his
political foes, said the
political crisis in Rivers was
largely due to his refusal to
abuse public funds,
stressing that he was not a
corrupt governor.” They
don’t accuse me of being
corrupt. They only say I
don’t run an inclusive
government which is ‘chop
I chop’.” he said.
The governor said he
would continue to pray to
God to protect the state
from those he accused of
plotting to plunder its
resources.
Amaechi gave reasons why
he danced excitedly at the
funeral of the foster
mother of the wife of
President Jonathan in
Okrika.. “I was told I would
be stoned at Okrika if I
went there. I went there, I
raised my right hand, there
was applause and the left,
it was the same. I said
‘God I thank you’. “
He said those fighting him
in the state were corrupt,
adding that he was ready
to engage them publicly on
accountability and
transparency in
governance anytime he
was called to do so.
“Those on the other side
are corrupt. We shall reply
them one after the other.
They have served and now
are hungry. They are
desperate and hungry
politicians”.
The governor, who said he
would not compromise on
good governance,
dismissed the speculation
that he might be sacked by
a court verdict on Monday,
11 November. “” You have
been hearing ‘we will
remove him since’ 2007.
Have I been removed! They
talk as if they are God.
They said we will be
removed on the 11th which
is Monday. Come that day,
I will dance here”, he said
while singing, “There is
nobody greater than God.
There is no one greater
than the Lord divine”.
Amaechi said his
administration was
constructing roads, building
health centres, schools,
adding that he had also
commenced empowerment
scheme for youths in the
various wards in the state.
The governor called on the
people to resist acts of
impunity on the part of the
police command in the
state.

BEIRUT(AFP) – A Syrian
lawmaker kidnapped by
opposition jihadist fighters
earlier this year was
executed last week, the
Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said on
Sunday.
A parliamentary source in
Damascus, on condition of
anonymity, confirmed that
Mujhem al-Sahu from Deir
Ezzor province in eastern
Syria had been executed,
without specifying who was
responsible.
The source said 50-year-
old Sahu was killed in Deir
Ezzor but gave no
additional details.
Last month, the
Observatory reported that
another Syrian lawmaker,
Mohanna Faisal al-Fayyad,
a Sunni, had been
kidnapped by Islamist and
jihadist opposition fighters.
The monitoring group said
Ahrar al-Sham rebel
fighters and jihadists from
the Al-Qaeda-affiliated
Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) abducted
Fayyad on October 27.
He was kidnapped after
two days of clashes
between members of his
tribe, which supports the
regime of President Bashar
al-Assad, and rebel groups.

caseless: Hmmm..when men think they can infuse words into d words of God, then confusion and contradiction erupts. The bible was edited more than 5000 times and we have various versions as listed by d writer of this article. This question the originality of d bible.
Permit me to say this; bible is a roman fabrication.
I jst de laff by shaking my legs.

wat is dis one saying?
u think dis is d quran dat u pple make a case for?
dis is d case of a failed out journalist who has a problem with comprehension, and u r here giving a blind support?
does islam also infest ur brain?
nawa o.

I really do not hav enof time to grow thru dis article. but i want whoever cares to read dis:
2 Samuel 21:19 "There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite's brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam".
the verse is refering to Goliath's brother.
for better understanding, read KJV. or d yoruba version.

dumb journalist!

Arosa: Is El-rufai Mad?
