A muslim man that converted to Christian said that the name of Jesus Christ was mentioned 25 times in the Qur'an while that of Mohammed was just mentioned four times., Curiously the Qur'an says that Jesus gave life to dead people, he spoke at day 2, he created a bird with mud and gave it the breath of life, he cured the sick, Jesus went to heaven and is still alive and he will come again. 'And when I saw all this things in the Koran, my thinking was what the Koran said about Mohammad, according to the Koran prophet Mohammad is not the word of God,not the spirit of God,never spoke when he was two years old,never created any bird with mud,never cured sick people, never raised any dead people,he himself died,and according to Islam he is not alive, and he will not come back . So there is a lot of difference between this two prophets, 'I didn't call jesus ,God , my idea was "he's a prophet,but a prophet greater than Mohammad"-said the convert 'Qur'an gives the name for Jesus" word of God,spirit of God,Jesus Christ"' |

Ghana is a resource-rich west African country where worries about the economy are set to dominate a December 7 presidential election. – Major producer of cocoa, gold – Ghana is the world’s second biggest producer of cocoa after Ivory Coast and Africa’s second biggest gold producer after South Africa. Those commodities are its biggest exports, followed by diamonds, bauxite and manganese. In December 2010, Ghana also started pumping crude oil from an offshore field discovered in 2007. Ghana was once hailed as a regional growth model but was forced to turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2015 for a bailout as global commodity prices tanked. According to the World Bank, one quarter of Ghana’s 27.4 million people live in poverty. Per capita income in 2015 came to $1,480 (1,400 euros) as the economy grew by 3.4 percent. A 2016 UNICEF report found that 3.5 million Ghanaian children live in poverty, including 1.2 million in households unable to provide adequate food. The country lacks infrastructure, especially sanitation, and Ghanaians endure power blackouts and rising inflation. – Independence pioneer – Ghana was known as the Gold Coast in colonial times, when it was under British rule. In 1957 it became the first sub-Saharan African state to win independence, under nationalist leader Kwame Nkrumah. After Nkrumah, the most influential of the country’s leaders has been Jerry Rawlings, who came to power as an air force captain in 1979. He organised elections and installed a civilian regime, and although he mounted a second coup in 1981, Rawlings brought in a constitution that has proved a stable basis for democratic rule. Current President John Dramani Mahama is standing for re-election. – Ashanti kingdom still powerful – Modern-day Ghana is home to the Ashanti people, a nation and ethnic group native to the Ashanti Region which has wielded power in the region for over 300 years. Built on the wealth of gold reserves, the Ashanti empire was the richest in Ghana. At its peak it extended into neighbouring countries and fiercely resisted British colonial rule. Ashanti monarchs preside over an area that is 10 percent of Ghana’s total area of 238,537 square kilometres (92,000 square miles) and the kingdom is home to around five million people. Most Ghanaians are proud of their royal past and the country was plunged into grief when Ashanti queen Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II died on November 17, 2016 at the age of 111. – Diplomacy and mediation – Ghana has played an important mediation role in recent wars and crises that have affected its neighbours, and it participates in UN peacekeeping activities. Ghana’s Kofi Annan served two terms as UN secretary general from 1997 to 2007, and has won the Nobel Peace Prize. US President Barack Obama chose Ghana for his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa in 2009. – Cape Coast: slave trade bastion – Cape Coast, the former European colonial capital, was once the largest slave-trading centre in West Africa from where slaves were shipped to Europe and America. Now a fishing village, it has become a major tourist attraction since Obama visited with his family. https://johnsonkelvin..com.ng/2016/12/5-things-to-know-about-ghana.html?m=1 |
In Nigeria, make a quality product and label it ‘made in Nigeria,’ and you would see low level of patronage. In the other way round, make an inferior product and label it made in US, Italy, Japan or even China and you would see how it would be rushed. This obsession for foreign products had made our importers import more exchanging our Naira for the dollars which had decrease the value of Naira. This obsession had even gone to another level that we now prefer services rendered by persons from foreign countries who would demand to be paid in their own currency rather than our own. Nigerians fly out to study outside the country and go for other services like medication, conferences, seminars etc. It would be better if we can strike a balance in this. There is a recent campaign in Nigeria which is the ‘buy 9ja to grow the Naira,’ many people had no yet accepted it.

Lagos – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has urged the public to disregard the speculations that it had commenced the sales of its application documents for 2017 UTME by some group of persons. The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, debunked the speculations in a statement on Sunday in Lagos. According to the statement, the Registrar of the examination body, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has expressed disappointment with the development and calls on innocent Nigerians not to fall prey. “The public is hereby notified that JAMB has not commenced the sales of its application documents as advertised by some unknown and desperate persons. “They are to disregard any website or individuals claiming to be in possession of these documents and offering same for sales. “We are putting finishing touches to innovation and changes to ease the challenges associated with the procedure of application for the 2017 all Computer-Based Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). “We are looking forward to announcing the commencement of the sales of these documents very soon,’’ the statement quoted the registrar as saying. The statement advised the public to feel free to contact the board for clarification on its activities through its website or contact numbers whenever they were in doubt. It noted that Oleyede had announced his willingness to open the board’s door to the public to make valuable contributions and also report any act against the board’s pedigree by either the staff or the board’s development partners. “We must all be interested in what happens in JAMB, as it is too important to be ignored. “Help us to watch over where our eyes cannot get to, hear where our ears fail and be our police where our presence is insufficient,’’ the statement said. It added that the Registrar had restated the board’s determination to ensure that nobody was spared in sustaining and advancing the credibility of the board. Meanwhile, the board has hailed the judgment of the National Industrial Court sustaining the sack of one of its former staff, one Cletus Uloko in 2015. According to the statement, Uloko’s services were terminated following acts of misconduct contrary to civil service rule. It said Uloko was sacked because he was wrongfully in procession of over 120 e-slip of candidates without authorisation and justification. The statement explained that upon the development, Uloko was queried and on responding, his explanation was not satisfactory to the board. It further said that the board then constituted a disciplinary committee which recommended that Uloko ran foul and breached all the extant civil service laws and therefore sacked him. According to the statement, based on the termination of the appointment Uloko approached the National Industrialist Court to seek for redress, compensation and reinstatement. The statement explained that in a notification of termination of suit made available by the JAMB legal team to the board said: “We, by this letter, hereby notify the board that final judgment had been delivered on the matter on Sept. 27’’. It said the letter further said that the court dismissed the claimant’s suit. (NAN) www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/jamb-says-hasnt-commenced-sales-2017-utme-application-documents/

Cuba will respect Fidel Castro’s dying wish that no statues be erected in his honor and no streets be named after him, President Raul Castro said Saturday. The national assembly will introduce legislation at its next session later this month so that “his wish is fulfilled,” Raul Castro told a massive rally for his brother on the eve of his burial in the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba. While Castro was an omnipresent figure in the lives of Cubans for decades, the late communist leader always said he did not want any monuments in his honor on the island. Castro, who ruled from 1959 until an illness sidelined him in 2006, died on November 25 at age 90. https://johnsonkelvin..com.ng/2016/12/fidel-castros-dying-wish-no-monuments.html?m=0

Deputy Gov. Idiat Adebule of Lagos on Sunday urged corporate organisations, religious bodies and well-meaning citizens to support the state government in making life more meaningful for persons with special needs. Adebule made the appeal at the celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PLWD), organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Education. The United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities is held on Dec. 3 annually to focus on issues that affect people with disabilities worldwide. The theme of this year’s commemoration is ”Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want”. She said that assistance to persons living with disabilities would help them to surmount obstacles, reach the pinnacle of their careers and assume places of prominence in the society. ”The state government is aware of the United Nations statistics, that over three million persons in Lagos are living with one form of disability or the other. ”This is why I am making this clarion call so that you can join hands with the government to eradicate poverty. “Ensure zero hunger, good health, quality education and reduce inequality as it affects our special people in the state, ” she said.

Your case is not hopeless. The number of years that you have been in that condition is not what matters. The end is always more glorious. Though your beginning may be small yet your latter end shall greatly increase. The solution will show up and your enemies will be ashamed. God is not through with you just yet. He is working things together for your good. It may seem as if God has forgotten you but it is not true. At the divinely appointed time He will show up. Today, we shall take a look at some instances in the bible of how God showed up and brought about a glorious change to the lives of people. I trust that your faith will be stirred up through this teaching. Be mightily blessed as you read and meditate on the words of the living God. In Exo. 3:6-10, the bible says, “Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task masters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites”. The above text shows that the children of Israel who were slaves in a strange land have been in that condition for some time and have been crying to God for their deliverance. I am sure that they may have thought that God has forsaken them. After all God told Abraham that they will be in Egypt for four hundred years and now they have been in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years and still counting out of their own making. Now let’s look at some few things. God appeared to Moses without the children of Israel knowing about it. God said He had seen their afflictions and heard their cry. This means that God is aware of what they were passing through and also heard their cry (prayers). And has come to deliver them and take them to a flourishing land. Can you beat God? The Israelites were still in bondage and yet God has already prepared a land flowing with milk and honey for them. This goes to show that your present situation will not stop God from perfecting His will and purpose in your life. After God had spoken to Moses, He sent Moses to Egypt to deliver the Israelites. God showed up and they were freed from the land of bondage. When God freed them they did not leave empty handed. They left with the precious substances of their masters. They became better than their masters. Listen to me, God will show up on your behalf and make your testimonies far greater than anything you have ever experienced. God sometimes show up out of compassion. In Luke 7:11-16, there was a widow who lost her only son and was being taken to be buried. This widow’s hope seems to be gone for good. She may have been saying to herself that life was no longer worth living. She may have concluded that it was all over for her. While they were proceeding to bury the boy, Jesus was coming from another direction without the widow knowing. When Jesus met them at the gate of Nain, He saw the widow and had compassion on her and said unto her, weep not. He stopped the bier; and they that bare him stood still. And He said young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother. Remember what the word of the Lord says, “For He saith unto Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion” (Rom. 9:15). Thus, God’s compassion can make Him to show up in your life. I pray that the God of compassion will show up in every area of your life and cause you to experience Christ realities because Jesus is real. God will show up in your life and in our great nation Nigeria. To experience the reality of Christ, you start by giving Him your life. Pray this prayer out loud. Father, I give you my life and invite your Son Jesus Christ to come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank you for saving me. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/god-will-show-2/ |
Delectable Nollywood actress and mother of four, Omotola Jolade-Ekeinde, has rolled out words of advice on how entertainers can maintain a happy and sustainable marriage. The A-list Nollywood diva gave the advice while speaking at an event recently organized for entertainment practitioners in Lagos. According to Omotola, entertainers can have a happy home only if they are married to a partner who understands entertainment and is of the same religious faith with them. “Choose a partner who understands entertainment, don’t choose your fan. Personally, I don’t believe in love at first sight. Pick someone who sees your heart, your soul, someone who sees the real you and is not afraid to tell you about your flaws. Discipline is key, everyone wants freedom but too much freedom is bad. Be disciplined. It’s better to be an enemy to a work partner than to your family. Learn to say ‘No’, we are like nurses and doctors in the industry because we can be called upon at anytime. If you’re a Christian and you marry someone who is not born again, then you are on your own. Your partner needs to be stronger than you, they are the ones getting the aftermath of your own action”, she advised.

Football, religion and grief dominated the emotional requiem service in Southern Brazil on Wednesday night for the 71 players, technical staff, sports journalists and crew killed when a plane chartered by local team Chapecoense crashed on a Colombian mountainside on Wednesday night. But there was anger too, at the reports circulating that the plane had run out of fuel . On Wednesday night Brazil’s O Globo newspaper said Colombian civil aviation authorities had confirmed there was no fuel in the aircraft’s tank and have opened an investigation. Delays getting from São Paulo to Bolivia, where the team chartered the plane that crashed, meant a planned refuelling stop in Cobija, Bolivia, was abandoned because the airport does not operate at night, O Globo said . It was a mistake, said Nataly Ferranti, 16, from the team’s female youth team, that “ended lives, ended Chapecoense”. “I feel indignation,” she said. https://johnsonkelvin..com.ng/2016/12/football-religion-and-grief-dominated.html?m=0

BENIN —GOVERNOR Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said the state has big plans for female mechanics and drivers, saying the government will engage female mechanics in the maintenance and repairs of the state government-owned vehicles. Speaking during the graduation of 25 female mechanics in Benin City, the governor noted that female drivers and mechanics would be encouraged to study at the Benin Technical College after the college would have been revamped by government. He said: “I want to throw an offer to you today. In Government House, we have a workshop. We would like you to come and take a look at it and also see if you can take over maintenance of the vehicles in Government House. We are going to partner with the Lady Mechanic Initiative, a non-governmental organization, to promote youth employment in line with our electioneering campaign promises. I commend this initiative a lot because this is in line with my agenda for job creation and youth empowerment. The challenge we face today, the challenge of unemployment, the challenge of rebuilding our communities and society, is not the challenge that rests on one arm of government or one set of institution alone. It is a challenge that all of us must come together to deal with, whether you are government, whether you are civil society, whether you are private sector. “That is the reason, as Governor of Edo State, once I realized that this initiative had taken root, I said the least that we could do was to come here and help to participate in the graduation ceremony of the last 25 of the 100 students this programme started with. I hope that as sponsor, Coca Cola will not terminate this programme with this set. I am going to make a passionate appeal, and if you need me to come to your headquarters, I will come so that this programme can be extended.” Earlier, the founder and coordinator of the female mechanic initiative, Mrs. Sandra Aguebor, said she had been able to train and empower over 1,000 female mechanics in Nigeria since inception in five states, Lagos, Benin, Kaduna, Kano and Abuja.

If you want to stay young, don’t wait for a wonder drug—just go for a walk instead. A half-hour walk every day is as good as a I ‘ super-pill’ capable of combating age-related illness from diabetes to dementia, Britain’s biggest science conference heard. It also fights obesity, arthritis, cancer, and helps lift depression. Dr. James Brown, an expert in ageing, said that while 30 minutes’ brisk walking a day may not seem like much, studies from around the world show it benefits all-round health. Dr. Brown, a lecturer in health sciences at Birmingham’s Aston University, said: ‘All of these changes are not seen in people that run marathons, they are not seen in people who lift weights in the gym or spend four hours running on the tread-mill, these are seen in people who walk, and who walk for half an hour a day. You can get all these health benefits you can get a reduction in all of these diseases that are associated with ageing by just keeping active.’ Dr. Brown told the British Science Festival 2 that maintaining muscle as we age is key to staying mobile and living an independent life. Not only is exercise the best way of keeping muscles from withering, it has many other benefits. Delivering a round-up of existing research, he said: ‘Maintaining your muscle mass, maintaining your activity level, is really important. But there is no need to worry because it has all been sorted. There is a magic new supper-pill. This super-pill will prevent obesity. It will also reduce deposits of bad fat. It prevents diabetes. It reduces risk of cardiovascular disease—heart attacks, strokes. This pill reduces the risk of, or delays, Alzheimer’s disease. ‘So if you give this pill to people with early stage Alzheimer’s disease, 50 per cent of the people who take this pill will have a reduced progression of the disease. It reduces the risk of some cancers, particularly cancer of the gut. It can increase mobility.’ He went on to say that regular walks can even treat depression. Dr. Brown said that 30 per cent of people with depression who take up walking for half an hour a day find their symptoms are improved. If the amount of time that patients spend walking is increased, the number who notice improvement reaches nearly 50 per cent. He added: ‘It reduces anxiety in about 50 per cent of people and can improve levels of cognition. It can improve your ability to think and reason. I t reduces arthritic pain in about 50 per cent of sufferers and can reduce hospital admissions in older women for hip fractures by 40 per cent. It gives you more energy and reduces fatigue levels and if you tie all these things up together into one real subject area, it’s quality of life. If you give somebody a quality of life questionnaire three or six months later, their quality of life will have improved. We also see a 23-per cent lower risk of death. This isn’t a pill, it’s exercise.’ Dr. Brown, who is the clinical and community engagement lead at the Aston Research Centre for Healthy Ageing, said muscle tissue releases a hormone that regulates the ageing process. The more active you stay as you get older, the more likely it is that your body will age well. He added: ‘ Avoid the man boobs and spare tyre as much as you can and you’ll age better.’ It is never too early to start, he said, adding: ‘We’re all very different. The key thing is to do as much as you can. The message I’m trying to get across is it’s as simple as movement. It’s all about getting your heart beating slightly faster, burning up glucose.’ https://johnsonkelvin..com.ng/2016/11/all-you-need-to-keep-healthy-is-30.html?m=0 |

Eminent professors who attended the launch of a non-governmental organisation, One Voice Initiative for Women in Africa at the University of Ibadan have called on leaders in the African continent to stem the tide of modern slavery which is increasing on a daily basis. Professor Adeyemi Aderibigbe, Chairman of the occasion and Prof. Olabisi Olasehinde-Williams, the guest lecturer and other participants at the event described as unacceptable the way vulnerable children and women are being abused across the world particularly in Africa. Prof Olasehinde-Williams, while speaking on the topic, “The African child as endangered specie: Emerging issues,” painted a chilling picture of how over 400,000 ships loaded with slaves were crossing from Africa through the Atlantic ocean to North and South America between 1549 and 1860. She added that more than four million people were carried away during the slave trade while more than two million people died during the voyage through untold hardship they were subjected to. After telling the audience which included academics, undergraduate students of the institution and some secondary schools, she lamented that contrary to expectations that slave trade had been abolished in 1860, it has now been modernised. She regretted that after Asia, Africa is the next continent where modern enslavement of the girl child thrives. The Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Ilorin noted further that over 46 million people particularly children are in modern bondage in other parts of the world. “Unfortunately, modern slavery is very similar to the transatlantic slave trade. Modern slavery includes false labour, underaged girls forced into marriage, prostitution. 45.8million are in modern slavery globally especially in Asia and Africa,”she said. Giving further statistics, the don regretted to say that Nigeria ranks 23 in the world among 167 countries where violence against the girl child thrives. “875,000 of Nigerians are in one form of modern slavery or the other in sub Sahara Africa. Children especially girls are the most endangered. Virtually every nation in Africa engages in modern slavery. Causes of modern slavery, according to him, include poverty, insecurity, unemployment, ignorance and traditional rearing practice. Those are the reasons African child is vulnerable. She advised the NGO to adopt the preventive, protective and punitive approach in its fight against modern slavery. She further urged the organisation to do victim tracking, needs assessment, free help lines, rehabilitation, empowerment and reintegration. In her own comments, the Executive Director, One Voice Initiative, for women empowerment in Africa, Ms Omolara Olatunbosun expressed how the NGO funded the education of hapless girls who lost their parents noting such loss should not create barriers to their education. Ms. Olatunbosun said she would improve on public enlightenment which she kick-started from Egbeda Local Government noting that she would extend the advocacy to rural areas where the practice is more prevalent. She also lamented that despite repeated advocacy against it, gender preference for male children and the undesirability of female children still persists in many parts of the world including African nations. “From ante-natal to old age, different sets of violence are experienced by the girl child in Nigeria which could hinder them from attaining their full potentials and the story is the same all over Africa and some parts of the world. “As a result, some of the problems faced by the girl child from the ante-natal stage range from rejection to neglect, abuse, infanticide, female genital mutilation, child marriage, forced marriage, child sex, sex slavery, economically induced sex, exploitation and marginalisation.” With the subsistence of all these challenges, she reasoned, that there is need to sensitize the public and in togetherness proffer means to exterminate them for further development of our nations and for realisation of a fairer world,” she said. On the abduction of Chibok girls, she urged the Federal Government to show more seriousness in freeing the girls from the captivity of the insurgents. She listed some of the objectives of her non-governmental organisation as restoration of self dignity, lost hope, self respect and self worth to girls and women who have been victims of rape, teenage pregnancy, neglect and marginalisation which have resulted in low esteem, depression and truncated ambition. https://johnsonkelvin..com.ng/2016/11/dons-others-heighten-calls-for_25.html?m=0 |

…Igbo among world’s finest— Rally c’ttee Chair By Clifford Ndujihe TO chart a common front for Igbo people, irrespective of political, religious and other affiliations, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will hold Igbo unity day and cultural festival in Lagos. Billed for the National Stadium, Lagos, on November 26, the event is expected to attract governors of the five South-East states and those of Delta and Rivers that have Igbo-speaking people. Speaking on the ceremony, members of the publicity committee led by Mr Ejike Metu, during a visit to the Lagos head office of Vanguard Newspapers, last week, said it is to ‘’bring Igbo together to show our culture, tradition, forge unity and promote speaking of the Igbo language to ensure it does not go into extinction.’’ “Igbos are disunited. We want to be together and end disunity and start speaking with one voice,’’ said Metu. Meanwhile, as the carnival, tagged ‘Ndigbo Unity Rally’ holds, the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Chief Tobechukwu Ezeani has said the the rally “is propelled by consensus among all Igbos in Lagos and the diaspora that our spectacular cultural diversities must be harnessed as a showpiece of our strength in unity, and speed through oneness.” Chief Ezeani, who emphasised that “our heritage as a people is among the world’s finest, said his committee is working in concert with top Igbo business entrepreneurs, the intelligentsia, town unions, and market associations to renew and revive our best today for a bigger tomorrow.” A key driver of the initiative, Chief Nnamdi Nwigwe noted that in the determination of the committee to make huge success of this Unity Project, massive sensitizations and deliberate re-approachments are on to mend fences, restore handshakes and put ruffled feathers at ease because the benefits of selfless accommodation far outweighs rampant outdated animosities. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/igbo-holding-cultural-festival-lagos-ohanaeze-2/

ABUJA —WORRIED over the rising cases of jungle justice in the country, the Senate yesterday condemned the act in totality, asking the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, state Attorney Generals and the Police to apprehend and prosecute those involved. The Senate also urged its Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to urgently accelerate the passage of the Anti-Jungle Justice Bill before it and asked the Nigerian Police to immediately confirm or deny the occurrence of the recent purported mob action in Lagos and other states. The Upper Chambers, while calling on the Nigerian Police to immediately ensure that they fished out all perpetrators of this barbarism and bring them to book, also urged the Police and other security agencies to live up to their responsibilities to protect the younger ones. The resolutions were sequel to a motion by Senator Gbenga Ashafa, APC, Lagos East and co- sponsored by Senator Ali Ndume, APC, Borno South, titled, Condemning the rising cases of Jungle Justice in the country. Presenting the motion, Senator Ashafa said: “The Senate is distressed by the rising cases of jungle justice by mobs that have arrogated to themselves the power to condemn others to death and execute judgement without recourse to the law courts in different parts of Nigeria. “The Senate is worried about this trend, especially the case of a young man recently lynched in Orile area of Lagos State for stealing. “Horrified that these rising barbaric acts are in most cases, perpetrated with a crowd of people watching unperturbed is most disheartening as each act dehumanizes us as a race. “ Furious that this is happening and continues to become more alarming everyday in these considerable hard conditions our people are passing through. “Disgusted that this is not the first time in the country that mobs have engaged’ in jungle justice. Some of the instances of jungle justice are still fresh in our memories. We can never forget when four young boys, Ugonna Obuzor, Toku Lloyd, Chiadika Biringa, and Tekena Elkanah, all students of the University of Port Harcourt were lynched in 2012 after they were falsely accused of being thieves at Aluu, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.’’ In his contribution to the motion, Senate leader, Senator Ali Ndume, said: “The case of a 7- year-old at Orile, Lagos, has gone viral and that is why myself and the mover of the motion said we should ask the police to confirm or deny because sometimes social media messages can be faulty. “We have had several times leaders being stripped naked in the public by mob. We really need to standup to this and condemn it and, in fact, move further to do something, otherwise we are going to have a society where everybody that is strong enough or have the number can take the law into their hands. ‘’This case is very serious and this Senate is not for standing up occasions like this and I urge my colleagues to support this very simple, straight forward motion. We must look at doing something about the disorderliness and the mob action that is so recurrent in our society these days.’’ Also contributing to the motion, Senator Shehu Sani, APC, Kaduna Central, who noted that mob action had become the order of the day in Nigeria because of lack trust among the people, government and the police, said: “It is quite unfortunate that mob justice is becoming a way of life in our communities, towns and in villages and I can directly attribute it to the loss of confidence between the people, the government and the law enforcement agencies. It has become a recurrent decimal that each day you see people being killed.’’ In his contribution, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, PDP, Abia North, urged the Senate to call the government to order. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/senate-condemns-jungle-justice-urges-fg-states-police-punish-perpetrators/
