Politics / Ebola: Sellers Eat Bush Meat Publicly In Ibadan by jbaur24: 4:08pm On Aug 21, 2014 |
IBADAN — SEVERAL bush meat sellers, yesterday, proved to sellers and buyers at the popular Aleshinloye market in Ibadan that their wares (bush meat) were not infected with Ebola virus as they ate pieces in public to dismiss the claim. Bushmeat1 Their action attracted other sellers in the market who empathized with them, saying the sudden spell cast on bush meat was not with good motive. They vowed never to abandon the trade they have been practising for at least 50 years. This came as members of the National Hunters Association of Nigeria dismissed as non-issue, saying in Africa, nobody eats meat until it is well cooked. Speaking through the two associations, Iyalode Bush Meat Sellers Association, Alhaja Risikat Odeyemi, aged 67, and Chief Olasheinde Afolabi Ishola said: “After cooking the meat, it is also roasted and dried for several hours, this does not allow any virus to survive. “Help us ask them to prove to us that after roasting, cooking and drying it on fire, the virus can still survive. They should stop saying things they don’t know. If they don’t believe us, let them tell the whole world to stop eating all living things such as fish and meat but depend solely on vegetables so that they would not die.” Odeyemi said she had been in the business for the past five decades and had never heard of anything negative about their meat which many doctors had previously certified fit for human consumption. According to her, “it was my great grandmother that introduced me to this business and I have used it to do many good things in life. I can’t leave this business because doing so would tantamount to disobeying my ancestors. We have sold all kinds of animal like the elephant, porcupine, grasscutter, antelope.” When asked about patronage in this Ebola period, she lamented that they had been living from hand to mouth since the problem started. According tio her, “before they brought this Ebola issue, many customers would park their exotic cars here waiting patiently until we attend to them. Many a time, we would dress meat newly supplied in their presence. They would queue here waiting for their turn. “But, now see how silent this place is. Look at the time now, for the past two weeks, we, including our children, have been eating our meat and nothing happened to us. But, how many can we eat? This is why we are pleading with the government and our numerous customers that our meat don’t have Ebola. “It is the government that should be blamed for the outbreak. If they had monitored our borders well, Patrick Sawyer, who imported the virus, would not have been granted entry into our country. Now, we are suffering for their laxity. It is not fair.” Hunters lament The hunters too claimed that since the issue came up, the bush meat sellers had not made any demand at all and “if they don’t patronise us, who will buy the meat?” While corroborating their claims, the Otun Balogun of hunters, Chief Balogun Ege, said: “We are eating bush meat and nothing has happened to us. Since the issue started, business has been very dull. Nothing for us at all and this is the trade we use in training our children. “Since the sellers are not buying from us again, it is unwise to go for hunting. Who will buy it from us?” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/ebola-sellers-eat-bush-meat-publicly-ibadan/#sthash.fCA773Id.dpuf

Politics / Re: Presidential Summit On MDG: Peter Obi The Rallying Point (Pictures) by jbaur24: 8:34pm On Aug 20, 2014 |
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State was born on the 19th of July, 1961 at Onitsha in Anambra State. In 1980, he gained admission into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he read Philosophy and graduated with a B. A. (Hons.) in 1984. As a trained philosopher, he has very broad perspectives on issues. No sooner did he graduate than he plunged headlong into business, taking after his father, a retired police officer and successful businessman. With extensive management training at some of the best global institutions, and hard work, he became immensely successful in business. These include Lagos Business School, Nigeria; where he underwent the Chief Executive Programme; Harvard Business School, Boston, USA for the mid to mid programme; London School of Economics for the Financial Management/Business Policy Programme; Columbia Business School, USA where he studied Marketing Management. Others are Kellog Graduate School of Management USA where he did an Advanced Executive Programme and Institute for Management Development (IMD), Switzerland for a Senior Executive Forum. Before entering into politics, his vast training in business courses led him to attain heights as Chairman, Fidelity Bank Plc; Chairman, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd; Director, Guardian Express Bank Ltd; Chairman, Future View Security Ltd; Chairman, Paymaster Nigeria Ltd; Chairman, Next International (Nig.) Ltd; Director, Chams Nigeria Ltd; Chairman, Dataciro Limited; Director, Card Centre Limited. He also belongs to many professional associations, which include Nigerian Economic Summit Group, Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers and Commonwealth Business Council. Others are member of West African Business Committee (WABC); member of British Institute of Directors (BIOD); and member of Nigerian – South African Chamber of Commerce (NSACC). He went into politics with a considerable amount of resources at his disposal and contested the gubernatorial elections in Anambra State in 2003. Although he won, he was rigged out. Undaunted, he embarked on a near three-year legal battle to regain his mandate, which he did. Barely eight months into his administration, he was unconstitutionally impeached and had to fight again to be reinstated, and further battled and won an extension of his tenure beyond the general elections in 2007. Since he ended his multiple legal battles. Governor Obi has embarked on integrated development of his state, with a holistic approach developing all sectors simultaneously. He has brought his private sector experience to bear on the development process in Anambra. Schools Attended: Christ The King College (CKC)- Onitsha University of Nnsukka Lagos Business School Harvard Business School, London School of Economics Columbia Business School Kellog Graduate School of Management Institute of Management Development.
