Nigerians in Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday staged a 90-minute protest march across the city to protest the killing of one of them and to demand better treatment from the police.

Theophilus Anoliefo, a real estate agent, was allegedly killed by South African police on July 31 in questionable circumstances.

A large number of Nigerians carrying placards and singing protest songs, marched through the streets, escorted by South African Police and traffic officers, as they aired their grievances.

The protesters marched from Rossetinville Road to Booysons Police station, a distance of about 12km, where they submitted a protest letter to the authorities.

The widow of the deceased, Cynthia Anoliefo, and her mother participated in the protest march,

Nelson Mandela will not appear at the opening ceremony of the world cup this afternoon after the death of his great granddaughter in a car accident this morning.

Thirteen-year old Zenani Mandela was one of the former South African president’s nine great grandchildren.

She died in a crash on her way back from a pre-tournament concert in Johannesburg. Just one car was involved and no-one else was injured. South African police say the driver was drunk and has been arrested on suspicion of culpable homicide, or causing death by negligence.

It had been reported that Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife Winnie was also in the car at the time, but it later emerged that she was not. Mandela’s absence at the world cup opening ceremony was confirmed by the Nelson Mandela foundation.

eBooks and Things

In Chris Harrison's ideal world, mobile phones would be the size of matchbooks. They'd have full-size keyboards. They'd browse the Web. They'd play videos.

And, most importantly, you'd never have to touch them.

Sound like too much to ask? Maybe not.

Harrison, a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University and a former intern at Microsoft Research, has developed a working prototype of a system called Skinput that does just that, essentially by turning a person's hand and forearm into a keyboard and screen.

Security agencies yesterday cleared all the 33 ministerial nominees for the Senate’s screening, which begins today.

The nominees last night went through fingerprinting at the Force Headquarters.

Among them is Murtala Yar’Adua, nephew of the President and son of the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, former Chief of Staff (1976-1979), whose choice was seen as a strategy to break the rank of the President’s family.

As of last Friday, it was not clear whether Yar’Adua would accept his nomination.

Despite numerous media report that Chelsea will clear out all his senior players following Chelsea ouster in the UEFA Champions League, the Italian tactician has come out to deny the intention of doing a major revamp to the team, and asserted his main target now has become to win both the English Premier League and FA Cup titles.

"We haven’t planned, it’s not the time now to plan. We have to look to the next game. We have 11 matches left until the end of the season and, after them, we’ll have a lot of time to speak about the future of this team," Ancelotti stated.

SUPER Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu, who has been called a spent horse, at the weekend enhanced his chances of being

on the Nigerian team to the World Cup in South Africa in June when he scored a late match winner for his troubled English Premier League club, Portsmouth FC.
Kanu improved on last week's goal for Pompey which is on verge of bankruptcy.

Pompey are doomed for the drop after they were deducted nine points after going into administration this week, but they appeared defiant when they came back from being 2-1 down to Hull City at Fratton Park to snatch victory with Kanu netting the match winner in the 89th minute.

The Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) is said to be presently reeling under the weight of a staggering debt profile amounting to N459,103,103,252,394.


Out of this figure, PHCN owes Shell Petroleum Development Company and Agip Oil Company N55, 132,468,318 for power supplied to the national grid under its power purchase agreement.


THISDAY gathered that the huge debt profile hanging over the electricity company had to some extent undermined the effort to improve power supply in the country and is fast threatening the solvency of the organisation whose staff strength is presently put at 50,000.

The federal cabinet may roar back to life this week as Acting President Goodluck Jonathan is set to retain 21 of the 42 ministers relieved of their jobs last week following the dissolution of the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF).

THISDAY learnt the list of the 21 nominees to be retained will be forwarded to the Senate anytime from now for confirmation.
The upper legislative chamber may screen the nominees by Thursday, it was further learnt.

Among those to return are former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Odein Ajumogobia; former Attorney-General of the Federation and Justice Minister Adetokunbo Kayode (SAN); Chief Ojo Maduekwe who took charge of Foreign Affairs in the dissolved cabinet; Prof. Dora Akunyili who earlier manned the Information Ministry; and Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke who was in the Ministry of Solid Minerals.

Others are former Minister of Finance Mansur Muhtar; and his former Minister of State Remi Babalola; former Minister of Sports and Chairman, National Sports Commission (NSC) Sani Ndanusa; Godsday Orubebe formerly Minister of State for Niger Delta; and Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin who was Minister of Health in the dissolved cabinet.
Allison-Madueke and Orubebe are said to be the only nominees of Jonathan in the dissolved cabinet of ailing President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

Some of the retained ministers may retain their portfolios in the dissolved cabinet while others may take on new assignments.
The former ministers are facing fresh screening because the blanket dissolution of the EXCOF meant that all the nominees are to begin afresh.

THISDAY checks revealed that among those that may not return are Dr. Sayyadi Abba Ruma, who was Minister of Agriculture; former Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Senator Adamu Aliero; former Minister of Power Lanre Babalola; and Hajiya Aishatu Dukku who was Minister of State for Education.

The ministerial nominees will be in batches with the first batch being that of the 21 nominees from the dissolved cabinet.
THISDAY learnt that the acting president is in consultation with political stakeholders and will soon forward the list of the remaining prospective ministers to the Senate.
Jonathan had surprisingly dissolved the entire cabinet last Wednesday in a bid to rejuvenate the EXCOF, which had been badly divided.

The newspaper had exclusively reported that at least five ministries which are key to the focus of the acting president might be manned by new persons.

Among ministers in the dissolved cabinet who may not return are those of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Rilwanu Lukman; Works, Dr. Hassan Lawal; Chief Ufot Ekaette who was minister of Niger Delta and Ruma.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria First Forum (NFF), a pressure group in the House of Representatives, has dismissed the threats by some critics and interest groups to challenge the dissolution of EXCOF by the acting president, describing the criticisms as coming from the camp of retrogressive elements who want the country to remain at standstill.

A member of the Board of Trustees of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, had described the dissolution of the federal cabinet as an illegal action that has neither a bearing with the 1999 Constitution nor the backing of any subsisting pronouncement of a court of law.

Yakassai had in the wake of the dissolution of the cabinet last Wednesday said the action was arbitrary and unlawful, “taken on the basis of a pertinently illegal resolution passed by the two chambers of the National Assembly that conferred on him the title of acting president”.

But spokesman of the NFF, Hon. Dino Melaye, dismissed the argument of Yakassai as “the handiwork of a commercialised mind with ulterior motives”.

Melaye lamented that at this time in the nation’s history when all hands ought to be on deck to steer the ship of state out of troubled waters, some elements in the society still want to create unnecessary divisions in the polity.
He said Yakassai must be living in the past for him to describe the resolution of the Senate and House which brought to an end the power vacuum saga as illegal.

“It is obvious that he (Yakassai) is talking his age and living in the past era. For everyone that wishes Nigeria well, the resolution by both chambers of the National Assembly was a political solution that averted a national disaster and for him to describe that resolution in such a malicious manner is an indication that he harbours some ulterior motives which cannot be in the best interest of this country.

“We, as a group, declare our unparallel support for Acting President Goodluck Jonathan in his current efforts to stabilise the country through constitutional means and we will not relent in our support until the struggle to build a new Nigeria where justice, equity and egalitarianism becomes the order of the day. It is a battle of no retreat, no surrender,” he said.
