I just hope and pray the SW wont d go the way of the NE

Only few wouldn't see this coming.

There was pandemonium at Baptist High School, Ejigbo in Osun State on Monday as hoodlums invaded the school attacking students, teachers and injuring the principal of
the school for allegedly
stopping some Muslim pupils
from wearing hijab.
Our correspondent gathered
that some hoodlums stormed
the school while the
students were already seated
in their classrooms.
They were said to have
headed straight for the
Principal’s Office and asked
the principal, Mr. Layi
Oguntola, to apologise for
sending the hijab-wearing
students away from school
but he the principal allegedly
refused the order.
A source in the school said
the principal was beaten to a
pulp by the invaders.
It was gathered that the
Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Oba
Omowonuola Oyesosin,
offered his palace as a
refuge for the teachers and
students while he also
ensured the rescue of the
principal from the fierce-
looking youths.
The principal, according to a
teacher in the school, was
rushed to the Baptist
Medical Centre, where he
was said to be receiving
treatment.

engrtee: The first is that China’s trade-and-aid strategy targets only states with abundant natural resources and weak – and thus easily influenced – governments. This assertion does not withstand scrutiny. China supports almost all Sub-Saharan African states (except those that do not accept China’s “One China” policy and continue, for example, to recognize Taiwan as an independent country). Indeed, China is no more interested in the continent’s natural resources than are firms from any developed country.


Another widespread claim is that Chinese companies prefer to employ their own nationals rather than locals. This is a serious accusation, given that one of the big attractions of foreign direct investment is local job creation. But Chinese firms say that few local workers have the necessary skills; if they do, African governments can dictate some employment terms, including the proportion of local recruits on a project, as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola have done.


Critics have also highlighted the poor living conditions provided for Chinese workers, especially when compared to those offered to Western expatriates. Again, this seems unfair, as Western employees tend to be hired for senior managerial or technical posts, which are more difficult and more expensive to fill.

this is peculiar to all asian and north african countries.
dont work wit dem, if u've gat d choice.

alfredo4u: This is a clear danger signal to all those big men who are good in sleeping with their bank account officers, in the name of “thank you for banking with us”. While I was in Abuja, inside source showed OluFamous few ladies in top banks who had come to “service” some Senators in a big hotel in the city. I was shocked!

The source said that was how they “service” Governors and even big men in the Presidency. It is indeed a very big mess we have in Nigeria and now it has sent a House of Reps member to his early grave.

Hon. Raphael Oloye Nomiye, who’s representing Ondo State in the House of Reps, was said to be having his turn of “service” with his female Account Officer in his bedroom when something happened…

Top security sources said he was having a sexual affair with a female banker in his private residence located at Gwarinpa Estate in Abuja when the unfortunate incident happened.

When Daily Trust visited the deceased’s residence at Second Avenue in Gwarinpa Estate, neighbours said the banker, who managed his accounts, rushed down from the one-storey building to inform the policemen on guard at the house that “oga just fell down and is vomiting blood.”

They said when the policemen entered into his room upstairs, they found him laying on the floor with a towel tied round his waist, while he bled from the mouth. He was then quickly taken to a private clinic on 3rd Avenue within the estate in his official Toyota Camry 2012 car.

It was further learnt that doctors at clinic declined to attend to him, saying it was a “serious” matter, he was then rushed to the National Hospital, Abuja, where the doctors on duty later pronounced him dead.

Police sources disclosed that the female banker who was “servicing” him, is now in police custody at Gwarinpa Police Station, Abuja.

She had denied having sexual affair with the lawmaker before his death. But she has now changed her story after doctors at the National Hospital conducted an examination on the corpse, which confirmed that the late federal lawmaker, Hon Nomiye, had slept with a woman shortly before his demise.

After the test result came out, the banker (name withheld) admitted to Police interrogators that she had actually slept with him and had helped him to clean up, following which he went into the bathroom, where he suddenly fell and began to vomit blood.

Police investigators who inspected the lawmaker’s house had succeeded in recovering some items, including a bottle of water, which the deceased lawmaker had drank from, some tissue papers and the clothes the man had worn earlier in the day.

When Daily Trust visited the banker’s private residence located at Kado Estate in Abuja, two of her friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said she and Hon Nomiye were friends.

Investigation revealed that although late Nomiye was married, his wife and kids do not live with him in Abuja.

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.

Shen Teh: Ina lilahi Wa ina lilei rojihun

was he a muslim? y d arabic? abeg post wat u've gat 2 say in english.
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
