The Christian Association of Nigeria on Friday in Abuja expressed concern over what it described as political intolerance ahead of the forthcoming general elections, saying politics was not a do-or-die affair

The association advised politicians to shun any act capable of causing violence in the country.

The President of CAN and Founder of World of Life Bible Church, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, said this during a retreat organised by the National Christian Elders Forum in Abuja.

He said if truly the intention of politicians was to serve the people, they would always eschew activities capable of causing harm to others.

While urging them to play by the rules, the CAN President stressed that while election would come and go, Nigeria would continue to exist.

He said, “I am puzzled about the conducts of some politicians in the country, especially their political intolerance. Is politics not supposed to be service to the people? If you get into any political position, you should be there to serve the people.

“Therefore, if the essence is for you to serve, who are you going to serve when the people you want to serve die in the process of election? I want to use this opportunity to appeal to our politicians again that it is not a do-or-die affair.

“Let us remember that election will come and go and Nigeria will remain. So let us play the game according the rules. I appeal to your conscience and to your heart. I watch television; I see how a lot of people are being maimed and killed. Let us do what is right so that Nigeria will remain Nigeria.”

Reacting to the alleged political intolerance in the North, the CAN President maintained that it was wrong for anyone to prevent the other from identifying with any candidate of his or her choice.

For democracy to work, Oritsejafor said, individuals should have freedom to freely express their feelings or political bias without any fear of molestation.

He said, “It is very terrible, from certain parts of the North, there are people who are even afraid to identify with some candidates. Their fear is that they will be victimised. I think this kind of atmosphere is wrong. If this is a democracy, everyone should be allowed to do whatever one feels is right in one’s hearts, freely.

“Certain people have set the stage for such thinking, which is wrong. If this is a democracy, then we should not predetermine anything. It is a very terrible thing. From the reports we get especially from the North, there are people who are afraid to go around to identify with candidates of their choice because of the fear of victimisation.

“I think this is wrong. If this is democracy, everyone should be allowed to vote for any candidate of one’s choice. They should be allowed to do what they think is right from their heart.”

The Chairman of NCEF, Mr. Solomon Asemota (SAN), stressed that the meeting was called to enable Christian elders to brainstorm on the various challenges confronting the nation with a view to coming up with far reaching recommendations.

According to him, a communique arising from the meeting, will be sent to the Federal Government.

http://cultureshocknigerians.com/news/banky-w-opens-up-about-his-battle-with-cancer-and-his-fight-for-nigeria/

Vast from Bracket:

After a series of treatment in London, Vast was finally declared Cancer free and last month, the singer was cleared to resume sexual activities again. Amen, somebody?

Wole Soyinka:
Last November, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka announced that he was infact a Cancer survivor as he had battled prostrate Cancer for 10 months prior to his announcement.

Despite alarming Cancer mortality statistics, many people have been able to beat this dreaded disease. Today, as we pay tribute to those that feel by the way side, We also salute the courage of those who were able to beat the deadly scourge and hopefully encourage those who may be fighting this disease or know someone who is.


Wednesday, 4th February marks World Cancer Day.
With no fewer than 8.2 million people who died from Cancer in 2012, according to Cancer Research UK, Cancer remains one of the highest mortality rate diseases in the world.

But inspite of these alarming statistics, many people have been able to beat this dreaded disease. So today, as we pay tribute to those we've lost to cancer, we also salute the courage of those who were able to beat the deadly scourge.

Here are 4 Nigerian celebrities who won the battle with cancer.

Banky W:
Banky W needs no introduction. Singer, songwriter, rapper and now budding director, it's not for nothing that the Samsung ambassador is sometimes referred to as a triple threat. But during his undergraduate days, Banky discovered a cancerous tumour in his shoulder which was removed. However, it made a reappearance several years down the line. Luckily for him though, it was detected early enough and he underwent a second operation. Today, Banky is Cancer-free, millions of naira richer and can be found making female hearts run aflutter on stages across the world. Who says Cancer isn't beatable?

Karen Igho:
December 2013, former Big Brother Africa winner Karen unceremoniously announced that she had Cancer and subsequently went off the radar. Thankfully, last February she revealed that she was now Cancer free, having undergone a series of treatments in the UK. A year after she was diagnosed with Cancer, Karen tied the knot with her lover of 9 years, Yaroslav Rakos. Talk about a happy ending!

After our correspondent reported the incident, the Lagos State Government and a non-governmental organisation, Project Alert on Violence Against Women, intervened and the suspect was re-arrested.

Tradegy struck, yesterday, as gunmen killed a senior civil servant at a mosque in new G.R.A, Bauchi State.

It was learned that the suspect, known as Babangida Garba, a staff of the Ministry of Local Government Affairs, was killed by the gunmen while, resisting their kidnap attempt.

An eyewitness said the gunmen tried to force Babangida into their vehicle, but he struggled with them.

The witness said: “After the early prayers around 6am, gunmen came to the premises of the mosque and waited for their victim.

“The victim struggled with the gunmen in an attempt to resist abduction. This infuriated them and they shot him.”

Confirming the incident, the state Commissioner of Police, Lawal Shehu, said the gunmen stormed a mosque at the new G.R.A, opposite Larema Hotel and killed one Babangida Garba.

He said the 53-year-old staff of the Ministry of Local Government Affairs in Bauchi State was killed when he resisted being kidnapped by the gunmen.

The police boss added that a police sergeant attached to the Federal Highway Patrol sustained injuries in the encounter and was now responding to treatment.

The forensic audit conducted by the audit firm of PriceWaterhouseCoopers Nigeria on behalf of the Federal Government on the operations of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] has indicted the management of the national oil company for various questionable transactions.
Part of the recommendations include that the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, the upstream subsidy of the NNPC should refund about $1.48billion to the Federation Account for various unreconciled transactions.
More details of report to come.
President Goodluck Jonathan had on Monday publicly received the report a day after a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN], Chukwuma Soludo, wrote a long, acerbic article accusing the managers of the Nigerian economy of misappropriating over N30trillion of public funds, including several billions in oil money.
The forensic audit was commissioned following allegation by the immediate past Governor of the CBN, Lamido Sanusi, that about $20 billion oil money was missing from the NNPC.
The Presidency had on March 12, 2014 announced, through a statement by the president’s spokesperson, Reuben Abati, that it had authorised the engagement of reputable international firms to carry out the forensic audit of the accounts of the NNPC.
The allegation that the huge amount had been stolen was raised in 2013 by a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, who is now the Emir of Kano.
Mr. Sanusi said as much as $49 billion was diverted by state oil company, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
He later reviewed the amount to $20 billion, and called for investigations after writing to President Goodluck Jonathan.
A Senate probe into the allegation yielded no result. Mr. Sanusi was later fired by President Jonathan after he was accused of “financial recklessness”.
The government said no money was missing, but promised a forensic investigation of NNPC.
In April 2014, the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, announced the appointment of the accounting firm, PriceWaterHouseCoopers (PwC), to conduct a detailed investigation into the accounts and activities of NNPC.
The minister said the investigation, under the supervision of the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation, would take about 16 weeks.
That schedule meant at most by September 2014 ending, the report should have been ready. A two-month delay meant the report should have been ready by November.
But the government only publicly received the report on Monday.

LAGOS—There was a mild drama yesterday when several supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ran into a campaign train of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, alongside Mr Babatunde Fashola, the governor of Lagos at Alaka Bus Stop, Surulere.
The PDP supporters allegedly abandoned their train, folded their umbrella and threw away all other party souvenirs in exchange for those of the APC and joined the APC train shouting “Change, Change, Change.”
A statement from the Ambode Campaign office summed up the experience, saying; ‘’It appears that Lagosians believe that Ambode represents the continuity they want and not to exchange the progress and prosperity of Lagos for what the PDP epitomizes at the national level.
‘’The people of Lagos have heard the voice of God and now they are echoing the change that they truly want.
‘’The crowd escorted Ambode and Fashola to the venue of the campaign rally at Shitta, Surulere where he thanked them for the show of love and acceptance and promised not to let them down if elected governor on February 28; pointing out that they can trust him having criss-crossed the state for 27 years serving on one local government or the other.
‘’He said he knows where the shoe pinches and would surely give attention to the welfare of the people of Lagos. Ambode is ready to take Lagos to the next level.’’
Allegation against us is blackmail – Lagos PDP
Meantime, All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos chapter, yesterday, lamented the unfair and the unfavourable dispositions of the Nigeria Police Force and other federal agencies against their party in favour of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
The APC state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, during a briefing alleged that PDP members and their supporters “have been committing atrocities with impunity, with the aid of policemen.”
According to Igbokwe: “Like a thief in the night, they have waylaid our supporters, humiliate, intimidate, maim and even kill with reckless abandon. We are appealing to the law enforcement agencies to rise to the occasion before it is too late.
“On Thursday January 22, 2015 in Agege, an APC supporter, Mr. Eyitayo Peter was shot dead while Lanre Ogunjimi sustained serious injury after a brazen attack by the supporters of a House of Representatives candidate of PDP.
But in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani, the party described the APC as a drowning party in Lagos State, adding that it is only interested in “overheating the polity to attract voters sympathy.”
According to the party; “the over used ploy of always whipping up sentiments has become unfashionable to Lagosians and it advised the APC to face the real issues of campaigns and stop peddling lies.”

Eight supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State were feared dead, following the outbreak of violent clash with supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna.

Supporters of PDP had been alleged to be defacing posters of the presidential candidate of APC, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari and that of its governorship candidate, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.

It was gathered that while some supporters of APC accused the other party of the vandalism, it was hell let loose, as supporters of PDP allegedly swooped on their APC counterparts, with eight said to have feared dead.

In a statement made available to the Nigerian Tribune and signed by the spokesperson of el-Rufai campaign organisation, Samuel Aruwan, in Kaduna, the APC confirmed the death of eight of their members, with many others said to have sustained injuries.

The statement said the party suspended its campaign tour of Zone 2, which is Kaduna Central, because of the incident.

But, in a swift reaction, Governor Yero said it was APC supporters who attacked his campaign team at Bakin Ruwa area of Igabi Local Government Area.

A statement by the media aide of the governor, Mallam Ahmed Maiyaki, alleged that the thugs were hired by the opposition party to attack the governor’s convoy with the sole aim of throwing the state into confusion.

“It is unfortunate that the same APC that is chanting change has resorted to violence and threats,” the statement declared.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Zubairu Abubakar, said the police were on top of the situation.

Four persons were reported dead in two political clashes in Taraba State within the past few days. A clash between supporters of People’s Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bali LGA of Taraba left two persons dead, residents said yesterday.
Trouble started Monday evening when some APC supporters in Kundi ward attacked a campaign vehicle of PDP supporters from Angwuan Jibawa area who had entered their territory to campaign.
It was learnt that APC supporters in Kundi had reportedly vowed never to allow the PDP to campaign in their territory over alleged injustice meted to one of their preferred governorship aspirants who had since dumped PDP for APC.

A middle-aged man has been shot dead during a violent clash between youths suspected to be members of rival cult groups in Ondo town, Ondo State.

Our correspondent learnt that the deceased, identified simply as Bolaji, was at a relaxation centre on Ijoka Street, in Ondo town, when he was shot by the group of armed youths on Monday.

Residents say Bolaji was a notable member of the Eiye cult group and had been involved in the different clashes in the town before his death.

The police in the state confirmed the incident, adding that no arrest had been made so far.

The Divisional Police Officer at the Enuowa Police Station, Mr. Kunle Omisakin, said his division was working to ensure the culprits were arrested and prosecuted.

He said, “Efforts have been stepped up to rid the community of cult activities.”

It was learnt that security had been strengthened in the town to forestall an anticipated reprisal.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Isaac Eke, had last week paraded 33 persons suspected to be members of different cult groups.

He had said the effort was to keep the state free from violence during and after the general elections.

Abigail, a 25 year old girl resident in the FCT recounted how she was raped by some policemen on the account that she admitted to the use of illicit drugs. In order for her not to get arrested she was made to pay with her body. In her words ‘They forcefully climbed me to make love with me, so I was begging that it will just be one person but they refused and took turns to have sex with me, my body was violated’. Abigail’s case is just one out of the many cases of human right abuse that young people who use drugs do experience in the hand of law enforcement officers.
Someone may want to ask, do drug users have any human right? Don’t they deserve whatever punishment they receive? This and many similar questions explained why human right abuse of this group have been normalised in our society and beclouded a need for us to confront the growing challenge of drug misuse with humane and evidence-based strategy. Recently, YouthRISE Nigeria, a Non-Governmental organisation with support of Open Society Institute of West Africa (OSIWA) presented an evidence-based report on documented cases of human right abuse experienced by young people who use drugs in Nigeria. The story of Abigail was one of the cases. Other cases include arbitrary and prolonged arrest, denial of access to justice, extortion, being beaten, getting locked up without food for days, sexual harassment, rape, forced rehabilitation and use of severe torture to make people drug free. The perpetrators of these abuse are not limited to law enforcement officers but included family members, religious centres and many more.

The challenge of drug use in our society today is a reality among the youths who use drugs for one reasons or the other inclusive of escaping the harsh economic problem such as unemployment, poverty and homelessness.Young people constitute about 60 per cent of Nigeria population and it is important to take issues that affect them very serious.

The YouthRISE reportclearly showed Nigeria drug policy to be reactive to both internal and external pressures instead of being a proactive tool based on evidence of what works and what does not. While drug traffickers are criminals, it is out of place to treat drug users who are at the receiving end like criminals. The understanding of drug dependence should also make us to rethink that drug users are supposed to be referred to treatment and help centres and not getting locked up in prison asylums or police and NDLEA custody. Even though, it could have been said that these individuals broke the law, there fundamental human rights and dignity should be upheld.Moreover, drug use is a non-violent offence and locking people up because they use drugs is not really justifiable. This also contributes to over congestions of Nigeria prisons and detention centres. The findings from the report showed that some of the young people who were locked up for just using drugs became worse or hardened after getting out of the custody.

In conclusion, this topic is rarely discussed but it’s a growing challenge in Nigeria and like a time bomb among the youth. The continuous use of punishment and force to address drug use seems counter-productive.While the Nigeria drug law could be said to have been developed with good intentions, the unintended consequences resulting from its implementation calls for an urgent review especially for the protection and holistic development of the youth population who have already initiated drug use. While law enforcement is still needed, it should be targeted at the traffickers and those who deal in illicit drugs. The users should be given required support and not punishment.
