RE: HON. EDWARD ONOJA RESPONDING TO A MISLEADING INFORMATION I have read the response of Edward Onoja to calls that the tertiary institutions in Kogi state be reopened, apart from the first line in his response where he said government was responsible for opening the institutions, the buck was passed to the Academic staff unions, the “biased minds”, and students who have been bribed by politicians to protest. The response posed about 16 questions which I will attempt to answer in precise terms and I hope the lecturer will be “un-biased” while marking the script. 1. Were the Schools closed down by the Government of Kogi State which owns them? Ans= Yes!!!! Because government has failed in its responsibility to service them. Same thing that happens when you drive a car without servicing it for a long time (knocked-engine). 2. If NO, who then shut down the schools and have kept our students at home when they want and ought to be in their class rooms? Ans= My answer was Yes. 3. What reasons have been given by the Staff Unions for downing tools, and how tenable are they? Ans= Immediate payment of all arrears of salaries to all categories of staff in the institution, as some are being owed as much as 9 months. Payment of Earned Academic allowances being owed to Academic staff. Reversal of the Demonic tax regime being inflicted on staff of the tertiary institutions. If you insist on knowing how tenable the reasons are, tell the White Lion to stop paying you and your colleagues for 9 months or more, I am sure you will get understanding of the tenability. 4. What have the Academic Staff Unions demanded from the Kogi State Government which remains unmet and therefore justifies this continuing punishment on our students? Ans= Check answer to question number 3 and stop punishing the students. 5. If they say non-payment of salaries is the problem, will they resume work today if Government decides to forget everyone else and pay them alone? Ans= Yes they will if Government decides to forget the N30bn it has budgeted for government house administration this year. 6. If not, why not? What other demands do they have which go beyond even the power and the jurisdiction of any Government? Has any of the protesters bothered to find out? Ans= All demands made by the staff of the tertiary institutions do not require rocket science or human sacrifice for government to solve. For the protesting students, the most important thing is for schools to be open, when they get to school they can carry out proper research to find out why. 7. What percentage of salaries has Government paid even paid and has Government not shown any signs of good faith, made efforts, etc that warrants return to work even for a while as other issues are being tackled? Ans= Percentage? I am sure you do not take your salary in percentage, except if that’s the currency being used to pay salaries in Kogi state. Please you are not doing them a favor by paying salaries, it is their right. The government can keep its good faith in its pocket. 8. Why of all the about 110 branches and sub-branches of (Primary and Secondary)Education Sector Unions, Local Government Employee and the over 70 Ministries,Departments,Agencies and Commissions;Only the 6 Tertiary Institutions Staff are sitting at home and holding the State and its people, especially Parents and Students, to ransom? Ans= Very simple!!! Academics, lecturers and other staff in tertiary institutions have refused to be intimidated. The Unions represent the interest of their members squarely. 9. Has Government met with various Students representatives from Kogi and outside Kogi and did she try to explain her own roles, and appeal for their understanding? Ans= The government is talking and appealing to the wrong set of persons. So you are appealing to students for their understanding on why they have to continue to stay at home. “Weh don sir”!!!! 10. Are there proofs that some of the protesters have been paid by disgruntled politicians from Kogi to ensure that chaos and breakdown of law and order is the order of the day in the state? Ans= No sir, I just hope this question is not based on your experience as a former student leader. 11. Would a responsible Leader sit by, arms folded and allow such to happen in a State that is just wriggling out of many years of insecurity and uncontrolled rampage by violent criminals? Ans= You can go ahead and call students by any name you wish, I am sure it would not deter them from pressing their demands. 12. Shouldn't the protesters, if their cause is righteous, look at the financial and other figures relating to the 6 Tertiary Institutions and make comparisons with others in the same sector even though they are Autonomous and generate revenue which they utilize unencumbered? Ans= How revenue in schools are utilized should not stop Government from paying Lecturers and other staff salaries. If government is not comfortable with how the revenue generated in the institutions are spent, face the school management and not the lecturers and other staff who do not sign cheques. 13. How does gathering at major intersections, causing traffic gridlock and harassing innocent passengers on Federal and State Highways aiming to hurriedly take pictures for to be used on social media to paint the state as unsafe help the cause of the students or the state? Ans= Oga your question is not correct, in fact it is a lie. It was a peaceful protest. 14. How does doing that on a day like today when we all needs to project our state positively like as the flag-off of distribution of 2.2million Insecticidal Mosquito Nets by The US Ambassador help us? Ans= Very irrelevant question, they are two mutually exclusive events. Those who need mosquito nets went for it, and those who want their schools reopened were protesting. What positivity is there to project in Kogi state? 15. How does doing that on a day the state is hosting a stakeholders meeting on Entertainment, Arts and Culture with a view to developing and harnessing the enormous talents deposited in our teeming youths help? Ans= Another irrelevant question. Kogi people did not host the entertainment stakeholders meeting, GYB and his team did. Entertainment does not develop a state, Education does. 16. How can any Kogite be happy to demarket the State no matter their grievances? Ans= Protesting is not de-marketing sir. I appeal to GYB stop listening to the people around you, they are bloody liars and are only singing your praise to get paid. Listen to the mood of the people, not every criticism is a paid Job as they make you believe. When your administration is over and is put under scrutiny, the same people will insult you. Being pipers is their career, they’ll work for anybody or anything for their pay. Kehinde Olorunfemi okehinde24@gmail.com

Gov Yahaya Bello ORDERED MASSIVE ATTACK ON STUDENTS TODAY AT THE
SAVE KOGI STATE TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS PROTEST

The Strike in Tertiary education in Kogi State is now unbearable, it has literally been halted. Students have been sent home, following an indefinite strike by the Joint Action Committee(JAC) of seven state-owned institutions. The schools are Kogi State University (KSU), Anyigba, Kogi State Polytechnic (KOGI POLY), Lokoja, Kogi State College of Education (KSCOED),Ankpa, Kogi State College of Education (Technical),Kabba, College of Nursing and Midwifery,Obangede, College of Health Sciences and Technology, Idah and KSU Teaching Hospital,Anyigba. The workers are complaining about the non-remitance of their earned allowances since 2009 and salary arrears. They are also contesting the retirement age with the government.The KSU chapters of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities ( SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) directed their members to comply with JAC’s directive on the indefinite strike, which began on January 31 2017. The disagreement or lack of understanding between government and academic community has resulted to a deadlock that usually disrupts academic calendar. As the saying goes, when two elephants fights, it is the grass that suffers it. The grass, in this case is the students who bear the brunt of the disagreement.Incessant strikes dwindle the academic performances of students. As learning is suspended for a long period,the students reading abilities fall. Even the knowledge acquired during the learning period is even forgotten by some students. This mostly turns some students into certificate seekers than knowledge seekers. So When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government,there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government.On this note the NANS NATIONAL Senate PRESIDENT in person of Bamigbade Taiwo a.k.a Egalitarian, NANS NATIONAL PRO in person of ODEBUNMI IDOWU a.k.a Id ALUTA with some affected student in Kogi State decided to take the bull by the horn. They decided to stage a protest in Kogi State this morning to agitate for their rights, to tell the Government of Kogi State that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. They did so but the Protesters/Oppressed came under a heavy attack from Soldiers which was championed by the state GOVERNOR in person of yahaya bello, they were slandered, harassed, beaten, arrested and 3 of the students has been imprisoned.Their communications has been intercepted, their equipment confiscated and some destroyed. These attacks is very hurtful and expensive.
Is this what we call democracy?
Don't just sit back and watch tyranny kill us all
!it might be you next time! Though the Government just did its own NANS REGIME LED BY COMRADE OBASI will never be Oppressed or Tormented or Silenced. WATCHOUT for NEXT NANS move! Nothing shall discourage us! Aluta continua Victoria Ascerthhhha

The National Secretariat of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) wishes to condemn in clear terms the unjustifiable attack launched on peaceful protesting students in Lokoja, Kogi State early this morning. It would be recalled that the Kogi State Government had been unable to reopen all state owned Tertiary Institutions which were ordered closed 6 months ago by Governor Yahaya Bello - Executive Governor of Kogi State due to unpaid salaries and arrears of staff of the affected institutions. The refusal of the Kogi State Governor to accede to the demands of the Academic Staff Union and all other affiliated unions is one of the strange expression of how deeply the Kogi State government resents education and staff welfare. Kogi students and Nigerian students at large cannot and should not be made to suffer lingering disagreements between employers and their employees while their schools remained under lock and keys and the future they seek destroyed in their presence Our parents are unbearably overstretched by this sheer insensitivity of the State government. To add salt to injury, the state government instead of pacifying the students chose to unleash on them an attack under the Almighty instruction of Governor Yahaya Bello. This amounts to a flagrant attack on our members for lawfully demanding the reopening of their campuses. The NANS leadership is very pained that our members were subjected to massive humiliation by combined security forces mobilised and acting under the instruction of the State Governor. We demand the unconditional release of those arrested by the Police and wish to remind Governor Yahaya Bello of our unrelenting continuation of mass protests within and outside Kogi State until all Tertiary institutions under lock and keys are reopened for academic resumption. We assure our members of our unflinching support and solidarity. No amount of intimidation can stop us from fighting for our rights.
Bello's tyranny must stop

Fears that the Super Eagles fine run in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers could be truncated due to the arrears of salary owed Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr have been allayed even as some companies have promised to bail out the Nigeria Football Federation from their financial quagmire.

Nigeria currently leads their 2018 World Cup qualifying group with four points ahead of their closest challengers Cameroon but off the field distractions of pecuniary matters have heightened fears that Nigeria could bungle their lead in the group.

Sports Vanguard gathered authoritatively that Rohr’s three months salary arrears have become a burden to the NFF even though the coach has handled the salary issue diplomatically, turning off inquiries saying that ‘’it’s a personal issue and there is no problem between me and my employers’’.

Checks by Sports Vanguard, however, indicate the NFF who convinced Sports Minister to hire the coach because they had sponsors to pay his salaries were left in the lurch by some oil companies who withdrew from their earlier pledge to pick the salaries of the coach.

‘’It is unfortunate that the status of a Government official in the oil sector sector changed, if not, we’ll not be talking about the non payment of Rohr’s salary. There was a solid agreement that the oil company would foot the bills of the foreign technical adviser as their Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR). It was based on it that we went for Rohr and the coach has justified his employment without defeat on the Eagles since he was hired. Due to changes in government that affected the status of the man driving the oil companies, they too, have backtracked from honoring their pledge on the salary of Rohr’’, a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation said.

But the NFF in the past weeks had overcome their gloom as partners and sponsors have given them a lifeline on the three months arrears owed Rohr.

‘’As we talk, am sure that his salaries will be cleared. We’ve gotten promises from partners and sponsors and we’ll not waste time in clearing his salaries. He(Rohr) has shown faith and understanding with us and we honestly appreciate his professionalism and focus on qualifying Nigeria for the World Cup as well as the Africa Cup of Nations. We can only appeal to Nigerians not to distract him from his set objectives’’, the source noted.

However, another snag remains the winning bonuses and allowances for the win against Zambia. Our source said that the Ministry, while absolving themselves from Rohr’s salaries, should shoulder the payment for the winning bonuses they are owed.

The Senate leadership is considering two options to overcome constitutional hindrances being projected by administration officials not to seek fresh Senate confirmation for Mr. Ibrahim Magu, as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Following the second Senate rejection of Mr. Magu, administration officials and sympathisers had cited section 171 of the constitution to buttress the claim that Mr. Magu does not need Senate confirmation.

The provision stipulates that the President shall have the power to make appointments, including ambassadors, permanent secretaries, and heads of extra-ministerial departments. The contentious provision now in dispute, Section 171 (4) states:

“An appointment to the office of Ambassador, High Commissioner or other Principal Representative of Nigeria abroad shall not have effect unless the appointment is confirmed by the Senate.”

The provision specifically does not make mention of heads of extra-ministerial departments as requiring Senate confirmation, a development that has prompted some in the legal community, including Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), to assert that Magu or heads of extra-ministerial departments do not need Senate confirmation.

Responding to the development, a senior official of the Senate said the Senate was pondering the option of going to the Supreme Court or altering that provision.

Noting the options, he said: “One is to amend it and make Section 171 subject to any act of the National Assembly. Two, is to go to Supreme Court to show that that section does not preclude the National Assembly from making laws that would subject certain appointments to Senate confirmation.

“If you look at section 5 of the constitution, which defines the powers of the National Assembly, it makes those powers subject to Acts of the National Assembly.

“So we can go and advance all the arguments at the Supreme Court and get it settled or just amend the constitution to avoid wasting our time.”

THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Sokoto State has said the “poor performance” of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at all levels of government is responsible for Nigerians’ suffering, and that the party is an opposition to itself. Speaking through the party’s state Secretary, Alhaji Kabiru Aliyu, yesterday, PDP described the current fracas between the Presidency and the Senate as an act of immaturity perpetrated by a bunch of people who had no positive feelings for the people they govern.

According to PDP, “should the Senate and the Presidency be insensitive to the plight of the people and continue with the selfish fight among themselves? This is an act of immaturity. They do not have the people at heart. “We expected the leadership of APC to take control of their ego by maintaining a smooth relationship between all arms of government, especially the legislature and the executive. The failure of the party to ensure this means that it is not in control. It has become a divided party.

“Nigerians are disillusioned by the poor performance of the APC administration across all levels of governments.

“People are suffering and in spite of the hope and trust that they had on this administration, they have been betrayed. Nothing has changed.”

Thank you Op village people have taken his sense

Uberalles:
Let's call a spade a spade.

Kemen did not rape Tboss. He was given green light all the way. He went to cash in however inappropriate it may seem. He made a move she rejected he stopped. All this bearing in mind someone who is sleeping would be oblivious to the act and as such unable to resist/reject. in this case fortunately for him she moved and

I respect women and I would say it is totally inappropriate to touch a woman who is sleeping most especially when a relationship has not been defined.Only Kemen knows what his intentions were.
It is not accurate to call the act rape. neither is it accurate to call the act attempted rape. I do agree though it is wrong for a female to be touched without her consent and this is where Kemen erred.

Let the man be he has learnt his lesson many others have learnt this as well .Allow him to grow and thrive and to correct his past act by treating women with respect.

Op village pple have finally succeeded in making him useless...he doesn't know wat is called rape anymore
