Politics / Siasia To Contest Bayelsa Gov by laidian(m): 4:05am On Jul 06, 2015
The younger brother of Coach Samson Siasia has expressed his
desire to contest the Bayelsa State governorship election next
year.

Moses, who spoke at a news conference in Yenagoa, on Saturday,
lamented that Bayelsa had witnessed several broken promises
since its creation in 1996.

The 35-year-old described the unemployment rate in the state as alarming, saying that 85 per cent of Bayelsa populace was
unemployed.

He said he would contest the governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party later in the year. He also said the state’s huge monthly revenues from the Federal
Government had not translated into an improved standard of
living among the people of the state.

Siasia, who is a kinsman of the incumbent Governor Seriake
Dickson, said the state needed a productive machinery to reverse the socio-economic problems allegedly dogging Bayelsa State.

He said, “Unemployment is taking its toll on our youths. We
have over 85 per cent of Bayelsa youths unemployed. How do
we create employment for our teeming youths that have been
impoverished by successive governments and that have become
disillusioned?”

“Now, we need to create a great industrial and education
revolution in Bayelsa. Today, I have spoken with some of my
partners that would be encouraged to create jobs in the state –
as soon as I get the mandate.

“In one year, we can create 20,000 jobs. You don’t give what you don’t have. I have created jobs before. I am doing it now in my business. So, if I am saddled with public office, I can do more for our people. What we have are people who have not created jobs anywhere. They don’t even understand the dynamics of creating jobs for the people.

“We need a leadership mindset that can transform the state and
make it an economic hub, a marine hub. Today, the world is
talking about blue sea economy, where people can use marine.
Government can use the marine sector and create massive jobs
and industrialisation for their people and that is what we going
to do.”

Religion / At Last , Scientists Prove Life After Death by laidian(m): 5:21am On Jul 05, 2015
A TEAM of psychologists and medical doctors associated
with the Technische Universität of Berlin , announced on
Saturday July 4 , 2015 morning that they have proven ,
through clinical experimentation , the existence of some
form of life after death.

Their discovery , according to the team of scientists led by
Dr Berthold Ackermann , was based on the conclusions of a
study using a new type of medically supervised near - death
experiences , which allow patients to be clinically dead for
almost 20 minutes before being brought back to life .

This controversial process that was repeated on 944
volunteers over that last four years , necessitates a
complex mixture of drugs including epinephrine and
dimethyltryptamine , destined to allow the body to survive
the state of clinical death and the reanimation process
without damage .

The body of the subject was then put into a temporary
comatic state induced by a mixture of other drugs which
had to be filtered by ozone from his blood during the
reanimation process 18 minutes later .

The extremely long duration of the experience was only
recently made possible by the development of a new
cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the
AutoPulse . This type of equipment has already been used
over the last few years , to reanimate people who had been
dead for somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour.

Near -death experiences have been hypothesized in various
medical journals in the past , as having the characteristics
of hallucinations , but Dr Ackermann and his team , on the
contrary , consider them as evidence for the existence of
the afterlife and of a form of dualism between mind and
body .

The team monitored the operations and compiled the
testimonies of the subjects . Although there are some
slight variations from one individual to another , all of the
subjects have some memories of their period of clinical
death. and a vast majority of them described some very
similar sensations .

Most common memories include a feeling of detachment
from the body , feelings of levitation , total serenity,
security , warmth , the experience of absolute dissolution ,
and the presence of an overwhelming light .

The scientists say that they are well aware the many of
their conclusions could shock a lot of people , like the fact
that the religious beliefs of the various subjects seems to
have held no incidence at all, on the sensations and
experiences that they described at the end of the
experiment .

Indeed , the volunteers counted in their ranks some
members are a variety of Christian churches , Muslims,
Jews , Hindus and atheists.

“ I know our results could disturb the beliefs of many
people ” says Ackermann . “ But in a way , we have just
answered one of the greatest questions in the history of
mankind , so I hope these people will be able to forgive
us . Yes , there is life after death and it looks like this
applies to everyone . ”

Politics / Court Judge Pays Fine For Convict Who Stole 54 Apples by laidian(m): 9:58am On Jul 04, 2015
A judge of Mararaba Grade 1 Area Court sitting in
Nasarawa State, Mr Albert Maga, on Friday paid the
N500 option fine he imposed on a convict.

Maga had sentenced, Chita Ugochukwu, 20, to three
months imprisonment for stealing 54 pieces of
apples.

He, however, advised the convict to go back to his
village rather than stealing since he had no job.
The convict, of no fixed address, was arraigned on a
one-count charge of theft.

Maga held that the convict understood the charge
read to him and pleaded guilty to the charge.

He held that the confession made by the convict at
the Divisional Police Station, Nasarawa State,
confirmed that he committed the offence as he
equally pleaded for leniency.

“In passing sentence, I take into consideration the
principles governing sentencing.

“Since you didn’t waste the time of the court by
pleading guilty and asked for leniency, there must be
a balanced justice while condemning the act.

“The accused, from all indication, appears to be a
first time offender as no previous record of him is
before the court and the complainant has forgiven
him.

“I, hereby, sentence you to three months in prison
with an option to pay fine of N500″, Maga held.
Earlier, the prosecuting officer, Cpl. Friday Adaji, had
told the court that Ugochukwu stole the apples
belonging to one Monday Ifeanyi, on June 27 at
Mararaba.

Crime / My Friend Sold Me To Ritualists For N150,000 by laidian(m): 5:27am On Jul 04, 2015
Hearing the story of kidnapped people for ritual purposes or for a ransom is disturbing and many just thank God it isn’t them and pray against it. The truth however is that with dangerous elements that carry out these dastardly acts roaming freely amongst us, everyone is at risk. Here is the story of a young man, Timothy Lawani, 25, a trader at Suleja roundabout area, who was kidnapped for ritual purpose but survived the ordeal.

Lawani, in an interview with LEADERSHIP Weekend, said it was God that saved him after he was kidnapped, tied up and was to be sacrificed in Kano.

The incident happened at about 4am on January 14, 2015. Lawani went outside his family house at Old Barracks, Suleja to ease himself, when suddenly he heard someone call his name. Walking towards a red Volkswagen Golf parked behind his house, he was surprised to see an old friend, Friday, comfortably seated in the car beckoning on him with two hefty men.

Narrating his story, Lawani said, “In my confused state, I greeted them. One of them held me and the other sprayed a powder on my face. That was the last thing I could remember. I later saw myself in a very large hall with other young men who were tied up. The kidnappers kept bringing other people to join us. Sometimes, they even offered us food to eat which we all refused. They then said, whether we ate or not, we would die after all.

“After two days, we were made to put on white apparels and join a queue. I noticed that anyone who goes out never comes back; I was so scared. When it was my turn, I went outside, saw a large pool of water like swimming pool and a man standing by the side chanting incantations. He later ordered the guards to take me inside that they were not in need of someone like me.”

Continuing, Lawani said, “In my presence, the man called on Friday who came about 40 minutes later. After telling him that I was not acceptable for their rituals, Friday started flogging me mercilessly. He then ordered the men to take me out, but not before the ritualist got angry, and ordered the hefty men to bring Friday for sacrifice in my place. I heard him beg them to give him just 30 minutes to enable him bring another person, but the man said there was no time.

“With Friday’s hands and legs tied, the man began chanting incantations again. This time, I saw crocodiles coming out of the water. Friday was then thrown inside, the reptiles feasted on him. I was not myself because of the sight of blood and how such large reptiles ate up a whole human being. The man later ordered the men to throw me out, that I was useless to them. They sprayed a powder on my face again and I became unconscious.’’

On how he got back to his senses, Lawani recalled that he was sheltered by a Hausa man who saw him wandering in Gomoja area of Kano State.

After prayers were offered for him for about three days, he regained consciousness but could not speak. It was then he wrote down his father’s phone number which he easily remembered and with which they used to reach his family, that had been searching frantically for him.

LEADERSHIP Weekend later learnt from his elder brother, Theophilus Lawani, that his friend sold him to the kidnappers for N150,000. Theophilus further revealed that before the Hausa man called them from Kano, Lawani’s friend sent them several messages, telling them to forgive him for selling his friend.

“Even before we got the text from Friday, we reported the case at A division Police Station in Suleja, but the Policemen demanded the sum of N70,000 in order to start investigation. Since we do not have such amount, we resorted to prayers, and God answered us. We have decided to take my brother for further prayers in Kaduna,” Theophilus stated.


All efforts by LEADERSHIP Weekend to speak with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of A Division was futile as it was referred to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) at the headquarters in Minna. Meanwhile, a Police officer who pleaded anonymity, said there have been several incidents of kidnapping within and outside the state, but the police have tried to curtail the rate by investigating and arresting suspects.

Giving tips on how people could prevent themselves from being kidnapped, he said, “People need to be wary anywhere they are. An isolated target is easier to pick up. It is better for people to be strengthened by being in groups. Hostage takers would have to work harder to kidnap members of a group than to kidnap an individual. People should also try to promptly report any kidnap case around them to the nearest police station.”

According to a security expert, Bashir Wole, people should be very cautious whenever they come in contact with any stranger. “People ought to become more alert and discerning to protect themselves from being kidnapped. Government also needs to do more in terms of detecting, arresting and punishing kidnappers, such that the severity of the punishment would deter others from engaging in such.

“There must be enforcement and punishment that can deter people from going into kidnapping. If people are punished, maybe by capital punishment, others would conclude that it is not worth it. The criminal justice system must work. The reason kidnapping is lucrative in Nigeria is impunity; people think they can do it and get away with the crime. The fear of the grievous punishment should be such that will keep people from further committing the crime.”

The general public is advised to heed to advice from security experts and the Police by being alert and security conscious to avoid timothy’s experience. We should all learn to be security conscious wherever we goes.

Now that the US has demonstrated its commitment to equality
before the law, by ensuring same-sex couples can now marry in
all 50 states of the confederate following its historic Supreme
Court’s ruling which gave marriage equality as a constitutional
right throughout the country one will wonder if this trend will
find its way to Nigeria.

In Nigeria, Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) persons are still facing legal and social challenges only
peculiar to their community. Here, same-sex sexual activity is
not only illegal, it is a punishable offence.

According to the stipulations of Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition
Act in Nigeria, offenders are to face 14 years’ imprisonment ,
and the punishment isdeath by stoning in the twelve northern
states that have adopted Sharia law , which applies to all
Muslims and to those who have voluntarily consented to
application of the Sharia courts in the region.

Nigeria has been criticized severely by civil rights organizations,
as well as the United Nations, for failing to uphold, and
violating, the rights of LGBT people but this has not changed the
cultural disposition of its people to the topic.

However, the golden question is, can you ever imagine same-sex
becoming a way of life that Nigerians will one day come to terms
with?

Politics / How Ndigbo Underdeveloped Igboland by laidian(m): 5:52am On Jun 28, 2015
In our discussion last Sunday, I made the point, which was
almost distorted by editorial pusillanimity, that ideally, in order
to render justice to Ndigbo Nigerian leaders who participated in
genocide against them during the civil war should be prosecuted
at the International Court of Justice. But I also argued that given
the very low level of political maturity and moral consciousness
in the country presently, that would never happen.

Now, the major motivation for the two-part series entitled
“Ndigbo and the burden of history” is to draw attention to how
members of the ruling elite dominated by Northerners had,
especially from 1966 to 1999, contributed to the
underdevelopment of Igboland.

The civil war provided haters of Ndigbo within Gen. Yakubu
Gowon’s cabinet and the Nigerian army to execute their
genocidal intentions against Igbo people. And even afterwards,
the same misanthropes insisted on maximum punishment for
the former Eastern region.

Accordingly, the Gowon administration adopted a banking policy
that nullified any bank account operated during the war by the
Biafrans. Each Igbo depositor of the Nigerian currency could
only access a flat sum of twenty pounds, irrespective of the
deposit. In addition, the military government promulgated the
Enterprises Promotion Decree of 1974, or Indigenisation Decree,
ostensibly to compel foreign holders of majority shares of
companies operating in Nigeria to hand over a larger percentage
of stocks, bonds and shares to indigenous Nigerian business
interests.

But the real targets of that decree were the war-weary Biafrans
already impoverished by the conflict, the wicked banking policy
mentioned earlier, and ban on importation of second-hand
clothes (okirika) and stockfish. Of course, the Igbo in general did
not have the financial wherewithal to benefit from the
Indigenisation Decree. Moreover, most of the jobs and positions
in virtually all the sectors of the economy previously occupied
by Easterners were taken over by those from other parts of the
country. In my opinion, scars of the civil war and its aftermath
are still visible in Igboland.

For instance, as I have stated severally in this column, of the six
geopolitical zones in the country, theSouth East has the least
number of developmental projects from the federal government.
It is very likely that marginalisation of Igboland would continue
under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, because his
party, the All Progressives Congress, is dominated by political
shylocks who would want to exact revenge from the South East
for voting massively for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
It is patently false to lay all the blame for the underdevelopment
of Igboland on Igbophobic Nigerians from other ethnic groups.

The desperate situation there has been worsened by the blizzard
of incompetent leadership in different Igbo speaking states.
Specifically, with very few exceptions, top political office holders
in the states that comprise the defunct Eastern Region have
been grossly incompetent, selfish and corrupt.

From the administration of Ukpabi Asika to the present
governments of the five South Eastern states, financial rascality,
nepotism, indiscipline, corruption, and petty jealousies and
visionlessness have remained leitmotifs in Igboland. Governors,
commissioners, top civil servants, highly placed judicial officers,
traditional rulers and members of the clergy have sacrificed core
values of truthfulness, hard work, honesty, integrity, regard for
good name, humility and brotherly love embedded in Igbo
culture in the pursuit of power and wealth.

How many governors in Igboland, both past and present, can
give satisfactory account of how they spent the monies that
accrued to their respective states during their tenure?

Why is it that governors, federal and state legislators and other
top political office holders become stupendously rich after
leaving office? In large parts of Igboland, the roads, health
facilities, educational institutions, etc have deteriorated despite
the revenue accruing to both the states and local governments.
People of Imo still remember with nostalgia late Chief Sam
Mbakwe for his laudable achievements in the old Imo state,
which should have been emulated and improved upon by
governors that came afterwards. It is deplorable that many
prominent Igbo sons and daughters who could have deployed
their influence to attract developmental projects from the federal
government to their respective states merely use their positions
to enrich themselves.

Another cause for concern is absurd and pernicious
discrimination within each South Eastern state and between the
five states as well. For example, in the civil service and
educational institutions up to the university level, people from
different parts of the same state discriminate and fight among
themselves. Sometimes, an application for employment or
promotion is rejected because the person is from Imo state
rather than Enugu state, and vice versa.

Former governor of Abia state, Theodore Orji, committed a very
serious blunder when he sacked employees from other Igbo
speaking states in a misguided attempt to ameliorate the
unemployment problem there. Although he later reversed the
decision, his irrational action demonstrates that sometimes
Ndigbo are their own worst enemies.

The Igbo not only fight themselves in Igboland; some of them
for selfish reasons exhibit excessive competitiveness in other
parts of the federation. In the North and South West, there are
incidents of unhealthy rivalry between Igbo individuals and
groups, each trying to outdo one another using Machiavellian
tactics, generating unnecessary animosity in the process.

Certainly, within reasonable limits, ambitiousness and
competitiveness are psychological triggers for self-discovery, self-
actualisation, and societal progress. But in the long run, it is
better for Ndigbo wherever they might be to work together in
solidarity for the benefit of one another. It is betrayal of the
highest order that prominent sons and daughters of Igboland
create socio-cultural and political associations purportedly to
promote collective Igbo interests, whereas the real intent is to
use such bodies for getting favours from government. Some of
them even collect mobilisation fees from government without
executing the contracts meant for their states.

More than anything else, there is urgent need for moral and
ideological reorientation in Igboland. Well-placed Ndigbo should
see themselves as role models for the young ones to emulate.
Right now, the lifestyles of many Igbo VIPs tend to promote
excessive preoccupation with primitive accumulation and hollow
ostentation. Now, the average Nigerian generally believes that
Ndigbo love money too much, more than members of other
ethnic groups. There is a pernicious cliché that if a purportedly
dead Igbomanfails to rise up at the clanging of coins near his
ears then he is truly dead.

The fact of the matter is that different people have different
levels of pecuniary attachment, irrespective of their ethnic
origins. The Hausa-Fulani, the Yoruba, the Nupe, the Isokoand so
on want to be as financially comfortable as much as the Igbo.
Remember, Ndigbo, because of hardships of the war and the
need to survive extremely daunting post-war challenges, had to
struggle harder than other Nigerians just to survive.

Even before the civil, their gregarious can-do-it attitude
compelled them to leave their homeland in search of livelihood
nationwide. And because jealous Igbophobic Nigerians
unnecessarily concerned by the relative successes of Ndigbo in
their midst, misinterpreted the single-minded determination of
the latter by creating the myth of excessive money mindedness
referred to earlier.

I submit that Igbo political office holders who steal funds meant
for the development of Igboland are a complete disgrace and
should be treated as enemies of the people. For Ndigbo to
occupy their rightful place as primus inter pares within the
Nigerian federation, they must begin to live according to the
moral principles encapsulated in the concept of ezigbo aha kariri
ego(good name is superior to money). Prominent Igbo indigenes,
wherever they might be, must set aside their ephemeral egoistic
interests and work for the good of Igboland as a whole.

Politics / Why Diezani Must Be Probed by laidian(m): 5:40am On Jun 28, 2015
Barely 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari dismissed
all the members on the Board of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, a Lagos-based human rights lawyer,
Festus Keyamo, has reiterated his call for the erstwhile Minister
of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to be
probed.

Keyamo had, on June 17, written a letter to the Senate President
and Speaker of the House of Representatives asking the National
Assembly to commence investigations into the activities of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, especially with regard
to the crude oil swap programme and offshore processing
agreements of the company.

He alleged that some NNPC officials, in collaboration with some
local companies, were looting the country’s resources.
In an interview with Sahara TV on Saturday, Keyamo said there
was an array of issues necessitating investigations into Alison-
Madueke’s management of the ministry.

He said, “It is about a whole lot of issues. In my petition, I was
particular about what has come to be known as the crude oil
swap deals. Under this arrangement, we never knew that a lot of
our crude oil was given to private oil companies in exchange for
their bringing in petroleum products. Under one arrangement,
they were supposed to take it out. We signed (out) the products
and then took them back to Nigeria whether they were
petroleum products or by-products.

“Under the other arrangement, we were supposed to be given
the crude oil to sell at the international market and then use the
money to import petroleum products into the country. Now,
there have been reports in the papers of late that under these
arrangements, certain Nigerian oil and gas companies made very
huge, unwarranted profits and the simple reason is that they
imported far less than the crude oil that they bought.

“Under this arrangement, some of them bought private jets,
property around the world and began to live large. Certain
individuals in the NNPC were seen as collaborators in this
deceitful and grand plot. Before the minister left office, she
picked up her pen and wrote a petition to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, inviting it to probe these
individuals and these groups. And I asked myself some imple
questions: It is a bit curious who had supervisory authority over
these individuals and these issues.”

According to the legal practitioner, Alison-Madueke had access to
all the relevant documents. He explained that she could have
easily called for the offenders and given queries to them.

“Why did she wait till the last minute to write a petition to the
EFCC to probe these deals? And I told myself: It is not a safe
person who runs to a police station to complain that is always
the victim of the crime,” Keyamo said.
