PoliticsWhy Nigeria Was Quick To Trumpet The Chibok Rescue- Bbc by Kcinho(op): 12:06pm On May 22, 2016
After two years of near silence, it was big news this week when the first of the missing Chibok schoolgirls was rescued by army-backed vigilantes.
In the past, the Nigerian military has claimed to have found some of the girls, before backtracking.
After their kidnapping by the militant Islamist group Boko Haram in 2014, the then-Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh, famously insisted the army knew where the girls were and would bring them back soon.
That of course did not happen. Western allies also reportedly complained that Nigeria did not act on intelligence they had provided.

All this criticism might explain why the army would want to show how their operations had resulted in the freedom of one of the group.
Official statements said the freed Chibok Girl had been rescued in a military operation.
But a source told the BBC she said she was found by a vigilante group in a village where she had sought refuge from Boko Haram.

It was from there she was taken into army custody, and the Nigerian government sprung into action.
After being reunited with her family, the girl was handed over to the Borno State government and then flown to the capital, Abuja, to meet President Muhammadu Buhari and appear before the world's media.
By this time, photos were circulating of her with her four-month-old baby and a man who claimed to be her husband.
Some critics were outraged that she could have found love with a man who could have been one of her captors.
She says the man was a captive who was forced to fight for Boko Haram and was made her husband before he absconded and escaped with her.
Others also questioned why the spotlight needed to be shone on her so soon after her ordeal.

The conversations were soon interrupted by a further announcement from the army - that it had found another Chibok girl.
Coming so soon after the news of the first one, there was seemingly little room to doubt the story.
The army named her and released a photo as proof. But questions soon arose.
The army said she was in her first year of secondary school at the time of her abduction, but it was well known that the girls who had inspired the Bring Back Our Girls campaign had all been final year students.
Representatives of the missing girls' parents said they did not recognise her and that she was not on their missing list.
They said she was indeed a student at the same school, but Boko Haram seized her at a different time and location.


This raised more questions still because. while 97 women and children were also rescued, it was she who immediately shot into the limelight.
She will most likely now fade into obscurity. The others who were saved remain faceless and will possibly end up in a camp for displaced people.
It appears that despite the progress the military has made in fighting Boko Haram, they realised the world was more interested in the Chibok Girls.
The media has made little of army reports that troops had rescued almost 12,000 abductees from Boko Haram between February and April, including a group of 10,000 refugees stranded near the border with Cameroon.
Those people had no-one to campaign for them.

PoliticsRe: Another Fulani Attack Looms, In Uzo-uwani Local Government Area Of Enugu State by Kcinho(m): 12:19pm On May 02, 2016
Igga town and not iga has been expecting a repeat attack. this isn't the first. The fulanis are currently targeting towns that inflicted mass casualties on them in previous attacks. Igga has clashed with them in the past and hopefully will do same this time.

for the individuals saying fulani herdsmen don't exist in the south east, a visit to Uzouwani LGA will help your ignorance. Uzouwani has large expanse of arable land. the people are known for rice farming and is the location for the adarice farm settlement. The cattle graze on remnants of The rice harvest and sometimes on The rice itself resulting in clashes here and there.
The area has accommodated fulanis and other non-indigenes interested in farming for years.

meanwhile the governor has called for a meeting of town union chairmen and traditional rulers in Enugu state this afternoon. hope something positive comes out of it.

PoliticsNational Assembly Move To Override Buhari’s Veto On 2016 Budget by Kcinho(op): 6:46am On Apr 15, 2016
Controversy over the 2016 budget is
far from over, as Senate President
Bukola Saraki has moved against
attempt by President Muhammadu
Buhari to doctor the 2016 budget.


The Senate president has therefore
insisted on overriding the president’s
veto at the expiration of 30 days
according to the constitution.


According to a source, Saraki has
initially refused to attend a meeting
with the vice president, Yemi
Osinbajo, and the speaker of the
House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara, to solicit the assistance of
the leaders of the National Assembly
to include fresh details omitted by
the presidency in the 2016
Appropriation Bill.


But after pleading from chief of
staff to President Buhari, Abba
Kyari, to Saraki, he later attended
the meeting where he reportedly told
the vice president that, “You can’t
strip us naked in public and then
dress us in white robes behind closed
doors.


“Sorry Mr. Vice President, we cannot
help you; let us continue to follow
the law and abide with our
constitutional duties in the interest
of Nigeria,” Saraki reportedly told
Osinbajo in refusal to manipulate the
contents of the 2016 budget through
the backdoor.


Speaker Yakubu Dogara was also said
to have re-echoed what Saraki said,
noting clearly that the president and
his top officials had repeatedly
abused the fundamentals for any
cordial relationship.


Saraki is facing trial at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, CCT, for
discrepancies observed in his asset
declaration while he served as a two-
term governor of Kwara State.


The trial is believed to be a political
witch-hunt masterminded by the
presidency and some elements within
the ruling All Progressives Congress,
APC, who were unhappy with Saraki’s
emergence as Senate president.


President Buhari, a retired military
general himself, was said to have
described Saraki’s emergence as a
“coup.”

CrimeFive Fulani Herds­men Kidnapped In Abia Community by Kcinho(op): 6:30am On Apr 05, 2016
We've No Hand In Abducted Herdsmen - Abia Community


Leaders of Ngodo, Mbaugwu-Uturu com­munity in Isikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State, have denied any involvement in the alleged ab­duction of five Fulani herds­men by suspected gunmen.

The herdsmen were al­legedly abducted in the bush when their cattle grazed on some farmers’ crops in the community.

The South East Chair­man of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nige­ria (MACBAN), Alhaji Gida­do Siddiki, who told journal­ists in Awka, Anambra State about the kidnap of the herds­men, fingered the local vigilan­tes in the incident.

In a swift reaction, the President-General of Mbaug­wu-Uturu Community, Mr. Maduike Damian, refuted Siddiki’s allegation.

He said: “I am on top of that situation. But that act was not carried out by our people. In fact, we have mobi­lised our youths to assist the police in fishing out the cul­prits. I married from the North and as such, I wouldn’t support any act that will bring us on a collision course with the Fu­lani.

“In fact, the report available to me has it that there are a group of hoodlums living in that bush for about a year now. I was surprised,” Damian said.

A senior Army officer involved in the military’s search for the missing herdsmen told The AUTHORITY that “in my capacity I can’t talk to the press but my commanding officer will get back to you for details. He is currently in a meeting in Ohafia.”

A youth leader in the community, who would not want to be mentioned for security reasons, said they have mobilised to assist security agents to trace the victims.

In his narration, Siddiki had claimed that two herdsmen were first abducted before three others were “kidnapped by a gang of vigilantes.”

Siddiki said: “Some gangs who claimed to be vigilantes in Ngodo, Mbaugwu-Uturu community, Abia State, invaded the camp of two Fulani herdsmen and abducted them. Their cows, as a result, were scattered in the bush. Initially, when they didn’t return to the camp the following morning, their colleagues at a general camp thought that they missed their way. So, three persons went to search for them. Sadly, three of them were equally abducted by the same gang as they went without weapons.”

According to him, “we went to Okigwe Divisional Police Station, Imo State, to report the matter but they said that that area is not under their jurisdiction. So, we went to Isikwuato Police Division, they also declined having jurisdiction there. We had no option than to report to the military in Abia State.”

PoliticsAfrica's Happiest Countries Revealed -2016 by Kcinho(op): 3:32pm On Mar 21, 2016
CNN — What makes a country happy? Is it wealth, freedom or a trustworthy government? According to the latest World Happiness Report, compiled by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations, all these factors are key, and measuring happiness is fast becoming a good measure of social progress.

Six key factors were measured to establish a global ranking of the happiest countries; GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and perceptions of corruption. Only five African countries rank among the top 100, and eight of the last ten overall are in Sub-Saharan Africa, having ranked very low on some of the key factors that lead to happiness. Here are the first ten African countries as they appear on the global list.

1 Algeria: Ranking number 38 on the global list of the happiest countries in the world is Algeria, North Africa. GDP per capita played a big role in this ranking, followed by social support. People in Algeria are also quite equal in terms of happiness, out of 147 countries Algeria came in at number 47 on the list showing standard deviation of happiness, where one is the most equal and 147 is the least.

2. Mauritius: Number 66 on the global list, just below Turkmenistan, is the island nation of Mauritius. In comparison to other countries on the list, the perception of corruption was much lower, but GDP per capita was still the biggest reason for the high ranking. People in Mauritius are less equal in terms of their perception of their own happiness than in Algeria, as Mauritius came in at number 64 on the list showing how equal happiness was across 147 countries.

3. Libya: Just beneath Mauritius on the global list is Libya, North Africa at number 67 out of a total of 147 countries. GDP per capita contributed slightly less to people's happiness in Libya in comparison to Mauritius, with social support being slightly more important. The inequality of happiness is high in Libya, as out of 157 countries, Libya came in at number 139 with number one being the most equal.

4. Somalia: In Somalia, unlike in any other country in the top 80 on the global list, GDP per capita was not the biggest factor affecting happiness. Instead social support and freedom to make life choices were highlighted as important in this country located in the Horn of Africa. Like Libya, Somalia has high inequality in terms of happiness, it ranked 133 on a list of deviation in happiness out of 157 countries.

5. Tunisia: The North African country of Tunisia is 98 on the list of 157 happiest countries. GDP per capita played a big part in this ranking, and compared to other countries with similar positions on the list, social support was seen as less important. In comparison to some of the other countries in the top ten happiest in Africa, happiness is more equal across Tunisia.

6. Nigeria: Nigeria, West Africa, is the 103rd happiest country in the world. GDP per capita and social support were almost exactly as important as each other to resident's happiness, with freedom to make life choices listed as slightly less important. Compared to its African counterparts, Nigeria has relative equality in terms of happiness across the country

7. Zambia: People in Zambia, in southern Africa, found that social support was slightly more important than GDP per capita. Freedom to make life choices was also a key factor, putting the country at 106 on the global list. Equality of happiness is low in Zambia, the country was listed in the 20 countries with the biggest disparity in happiness.

8. Namibia: Namibia, in southwest Africa, is ranked at 113 on the list of the world's happiest countries. GDP per capita was listed as the most important factor contributing to happiness, followed by social support and then freedom to make life choices. Equality of happiness was even lower in Namibia than in Zambia, it is among the seven countries in the world with the highest disparity in happiness.

9. Ethiopia: In Ethiopia, the GDP per capita was not a major factor in people's happiness. Social support and a healthy life expectancy were more important with freedom to make life choices having an impact too. Despite ranking lower than other African countries on the happiness list, there is less disparity in happiness across Ethiopia.

10. South Africa: In South Africa, people listed GDP per capita and social support and the major factors affecting their happiness. Happiness across the country is quite unequal, it was listed at number 93, with the country at number 157, South Sudan, having the biggest different in reported happiness.


Unhappy Africa:
While countries such as Algeria and Mauritius ranked reasonably high on the global list, eight of the last ten globally are in Sub-Saharan Africa: Madagascar, Tanzania, Liberia, Guinea, Rwanda, Benin, Togo and Burundi, which is at the very bottom of the list and ranked worse than Syria and Afghanistan, the countries that round up the most unfortunate 10.

Two of the 1,191 pilgrims from Oyo State

for a drug-related offence.


Alhaji Adeleke AbdulKareem, the Secretary,
Oyo State Pilgrims Welfare Board, disclosed
this in an interview with the News Agency

Abdulkareem said the affected pilgrims
were females, adding that one of them
escaped while the other was still in

He said that the drug found with the
pilgrims was Tramador, a contraband in
Saudi Arabia, which the pilgrims had been
warned against.


The secretary also said that two other
pilgrims from the state died due to ill
health before Arafat Day.
Abdulkareem said that the last batch of
pilgrims from the state arrived Nigeria on
Oct. 11.


He warned pilgrims to always comply with
the rules and regulation of the Saudi
authorities to avoid being arrested or

PoliticsUNTH Docs Use Candle Lights, Torch To Perform Surgeries – ARD President by Kcinho(op): 9:15am On Oct 19, 2015
ENUGU—Foremost teaching hospital in the south-east geopolitical zone, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital,UNTH,Ituku-Ozalla,Enugu State,weekend, was described as a facility where simple  ailments transmute to complex diseases. 


This is made known  by the Association of Resident Doctors,ARDs which also  regretted the complete collapse of the hospital management  which resulted in carrying out surgeries with torch and candle lights following dysfunctional generator sets dotting the hospital.


Addressing a press conference, weekend at the ARD Common Room at UNTH,  President, Association of Resident Doctors, Dr. Ifedinso Ugwuoke explained that the association having exhausted all reasonable  avenues to salvage the rot in the tertiary hospital, decided to shut down medical services.


It also accused   the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Christopher Amah of refusing to implement a written and signed agreement with Ref No: UNTH/CMD/R98C/Vol.204 dated September 15,2015 to pay resident doctors their skipping allowance as approved by the Head of Service to the Federation which other teaching hospitals in the south-east geopolitical zones are paying in full.


“We have decided to embark on an indefinite strike over the entire failure in the system. The aim for which this tertiary hospital was established which is service, research and training have failed totally.   UNTH   being on strike is better. The hospital has been turned to a money collecting centre where patients are made to pay for oxygen when they did not use same.


“In times of emergency, common investigations like HB, CT scan,blood banks tests cannot be done in the hospital. Patients are made to travel 20km to private hospitals in the metropolis to do these tests which compound a simple ailment to a complex one. In most cases,the patients die as a result.


“We carry out surgeries with torch and candle lights following power failure and dysfunctional generators. It is only the poorest of the poor that now come to UNTH as a last resort. Patients are made to pay above Federal Government approved rates for receiving no services from the hospital. The public have since known that they cannot access   quality medicare in UNTH which used to serve  the entire south-east geopolitical zone.


“The sanitary condition of the hospital where doctors perform consultation and diagnosis has made it a recipe for contagious diseases. There is no running water in the entire UNTH. That is why the Paediatrics Department  has now lost its accreditation. Patients and visitors draw water from a well that is over 20 years. Water from that well is horrible to human health. That is why we say that a UNTH that is on strike is better than a UNTH that is not on strike”.

Scatterscatter:
Don't lie... Does this write up make any sense to u @OP undecided
Yeah it does.
Two thieves.
One is being tried and called out to face her sins.
The other is being made a saint by ignorant bigots that are living in poverty while defending a man who stole their common wealth.
A thief is a thief.

Stella Oduah on Two Bullet Proof BMW SUVs
Bought for N255 Million:


“There was a budgetary provision for the
procurement of the two BMW 760 Li cars,
the transaction followed due process. It
went through procurement and was
approved by the government agency
authorised to do so… I didn’t personally
authorize or make the purchases….
“Between 8th July, 2013 and 12th August,
2013, various meetings were held with First
Bank of Nigeria Limited, a contract
agreement was signed and necessary
documentation executed.



“By letter dated April 15, 2013, NCAA
officially requested authorisation from the
Federal Ministry of Aviation to procure 56
operational vehicles through lease financing.
“This option was proposed to the ministry to
enable the NCAA make 36 monthly
payments based on receipts from Internally
Generated Revenue, IGR.”
Babatunde Fashola on a single Personal
Website (www.tundefashola.com) Worth N78
Million



“I don’t fix contract prices, it is an
institutional process. I dont write cheques,
my commissioners don’t write cheques. The
only training I have is that of a lawyer.
“But, in order to execute works on a project
we need the input of architect, quantity
surveyors, structural engineer and we have
consulting ministries.



“For civil works it is the Ministry of Works,
for science it is the Ministry of Science
and Technology among others.
“As far as the website contract is
concerned, yes there was a contract. It
went through procurement and was
approved by the government agency
authorised to do so.



“It was for all these services that the
contract was issued for N78m, which the
Lagos State Procurement Agency gave no
objection based on the advice of the
Ministry of Science and Technology, who
are the government’s adviser on ICT
matters.”



While the woman is called a thief and
vilified for an expense that if analysed is
properly priced and paid for through a
bank, the man is celebrated as a hero for
spending a ridiculous amount on a website
by the All Progressives Congress (APC)
crowd.


Nigeria, we hail thee!

HealthRe: Difficulty In Getting Placements for Internship In Nigeria by Kcinho(m): 1:10pm On Oct 17, 2015
Pennywise:
Govt is not going to legislate for an automatic absorption for all prospective interns bc they can't. Teaching hospitals, FMCs, General hospitals even designated private hospitals are taking a fraction of what they should bc they cannot afford the cost.

You do understand that?
Besides who says have to be humble?
The institutions should be bold enough to publish number of slots available yearly. A federal hospital in southeast had a capacity of about 144 as at 2003 while the state institution had a capacity of just 12 {published mdcn guidelines 2003}. Currently the same state hospital has 50 {400% increase} house officers and are working on further increasing their capacity while the federal institution currently has about 120 house officers with most of them paying for a slot.
Rumors {cos of no transparency} have it they currently have a 180-200 capacity now.
Most of the federal institutions take less than the approved number. These institutions cover their tracks with the false out cry of lack of funds but have refused to open their books for scrutiny.
MDCN has refused to publish a revised edition of the guidelines for practice since 2003. Hope they are not aiding these thieves in making life miserable for the young graduates.
