Students and staff of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko,
Anambra State, are currently living in fear over the
recent award of grades to some dead students after a
recent semester examination.

A rights group, International Society for Civil Liberties
and Rule of Law, which raised the alarm in a petition
entitled: “Complaints Against Wrongful Allocation of
Results to Deceased Students’: A call for Investigation
and Redress, alleged that one of the deceased
students awarded marks in exams was Late Ezeh
Uchenna with registration number FPO/SLT/ND/
R1/012/038.

Giving insight into the strange development, the
group in the petition, signed by the Chairman of the
group’s Board of Trustees, Mr. Emeka Umeagbalasi,
disclosed that “The said Uchenna was given upper
credit (3.05) and awarded 67 in Cell Biology, 81 in
Organic Chemistry, 60 in Physical Chemistry, 49 in
Electricity and Magnetism, 44 in Optics and Waves,
66 in Analytical Chemistry, 70 in General Lab
Techniques, 69 in Computer Packages and so on.

While wondering why some students were being
victimized over its petition, the InterSociety stated
that “Just two days ago, they were called and invited
by the school security authorities to come and defend
the letter InterSociety wrote to the school and defend
their involvement over same.

“The students also informed InterSociety that their
names have been forwarded to the School’s Anti-Cult
Brigade to be treated as common criminals and
cultists.

“As a matter of fact, they have gone into hiding;
operating amorphously to avoid being physically
assaulted and held captive. Their state of mind is
also psychologically battered leading to mental
torture.

“We regard these approaches as very uncalled for,
reprehensible, despicable and condemnable.

“The school must not be an outlaw and dangle with
the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1999 particularly its Section 35
(personal liberty), 36 (fair hearing) and 39 (freedom
of expression).

“Your school must also understand that the engine
room of the corporate social responsibilities, which it
is a party to; is founded on human rights. Students
who complain of certain anomalies through duly
constituted processes are not only sticklers of due
process, but also entitled to fair hearing and free
speech or expression.

“It saddens our heart that till date no reasonable
investigation over the students’ complaints has been
commenced and concluded by the school authorities.

“As for the referenced Head of Department, who was
newly elevated to the academic rank of Deanship, we
demand that she should be called to order and
compelled to revisit the issue. As we have earlier
demanded, no student of the referenced department
should be punished or maltreated over the issue.
Speakership: Lawyers say Gbajabiamila is an
ex-convict, want him disqualified

“The students’ assertion that the lecturers that
handled the referenced courses and exams should be
compelled to tender their raw result score sheets for
the purpose of verification should be commended
and heeded”.

The InterAction Council of Former Heads of State and Government has appointed former President Olusegun Obasanjo co-chair of the
Council at the 32nd Annual Plenary Meeting in Newport, United Kingdom Friday.

Mr. Obasanjo was a founding member of the InterAction Council, taking a leave for the years when he resumed office as President in 1999. He is the first African member to assume the chairmanship.

“I am humbled to have been elected as Co- Chair of the InterAction Council, a position that has been held by some of my great friends who were also my mentors over the years – Helmut Schmidt of Germany and the late Malcolm Fraser of Australia – and also to serve alongside my longtime friend Jean Chrétien, the former Prime Minister of Canada,” said President Obasanjo.

“We will continue the Council’s important work, but also look at some issues that are of particular concern to me, like youth
engagement and employment. Africa has many problems but also great opportunities, and the IAC will look at both,” he said.

Mr. Obasanjo has governed Nigeria as both the head of a military administration (1975-1979) and then again as a democratically elected civilian president (1999-2007).

He was thrust into power in Nigeria following the assassination of military ruler General Murtala Muhammed in 1976.

As deputy, he took over as head of state but committed to the restoration of civilian government in Nigeria.

His administration set up the Constitution Drafting Committee and the Constituent Assembly, introduced the N20 currency and
established “Operation Feed the Nation,” which evolved into the “Green Revolution.”

In 1979, under President Obasanjo, the military stepped aside and handed power to a democratically elected president, returning
Nigeria to civilian rule. He was the first head of state and government on the African continent to ever relinquish power
to a democratically elected government, peacefully and voluntarily.

President Obasanjo returned to power in Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 after winning two civilian elections – 20 years after he relinquished power to civilian rule.

President Obasanjo is the author of several works, many of which were inspired by his brief false imprisonment for his alleged role in a military coup in 1995. These including Guide to Effective Prayer, The Animal Called Man (1999) and Exemplary Youth in a Difficult World (2001). In 2000, he also published his memoirs, Sermons from Prison.

President Obasanjo assumes the position of Co-Chair of the
InterAction Council from Franz Vranitzky, former Chancellor of Austria (1986-1997), who served as Co-Chair from 1 July 2010 until now.

Established in 1983, the InterAction Council of Former Heads of State and Government is an international organization whose objective is to address political, economic and social problems confronting humankind. The Council’s membership is comprised of more than thirty former heads of state who jointly develop proposals for action and submit them directly to national and
international decision-makers.

In its 32-year history, the InterAction Council has been at the forefront of many prominent issues, most notably the 1997 drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities , a document that counterbalances the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the 2010 Hiroshima Declaration, a powerful plea for the abolishment of nuclear weapons; and the 2012 report, The Global Water Crisis: Addressing an Urgent Security Issue.

Awkward tho!not everyone suffers from cramps sha

Thats right

OK

Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration as Nigeria’s president
presents new opportunities for reinvigorating relations between
Nigeria and South Africa, the continent’s biggest economies.
Since the 1990s, the collective leadership of Nigeria and South
Africa has been vital in providing the foundations for African
renewal, the creation of institutions on the continent and the
mobilisation of African voices in the global arena.

The hallmark of this leadership was demonstrated during the
time of former presidents Thabo Mbeki (1999-2008) and
Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007). Both were instrumental in
crafting the current African security and development
frameworks.

These frameworks have frayed and lost direction on the watch of
Goodluck Jonathan and Jacob Zuma.

The African Union remains underfunded and has made paltry
efforts to generate additional resources. The flagship African
Peer Review Mechanism program has no money to conduct
country reviews to gauge adherence to good governance but it is
not too late to return to the quest for African prosperity,
security and dignity under a Buhari-Zuma leadership.
Mbeki and Obasanjo led confidently on continental
affairs because they were elected by comfortable
majorities

Efforts to find multilateral approaches and reverse Africa’s
international decline hinge, more than ever before, on vigorous
leadership, backed by solid domestic support for promoting
Africa’s development. Without domestic backing on African
issues, Nigeria and South Africa will not succeed in projecting
their power on the continent.

The Mbeki-Obasanjo alliance was propelled by the demands of
the early 2000s, particularly the need to reshape African
institutions in the direction of renewed mandates and
responsibilities.

These goals were achieved with the formation of the African
Union in 2002, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development,
and the African Peer Review Mechanism, the voluntary body for
assessing Africa’s performance.

Mbeki and Obasanjo led confidently on continental affairs
because they were elected by comfortable majorities at home
and had solid control of their political parties.

In contrast, Jonathan’s regime collapsed partly because he lost
control over his People’s Democratic Party. Under his
presidency, Nigeria was gradually descending into state failure,
with dire consequences for the region.

Zuma has faced a fractious African National Congress, but so far
has survived internal challenges to his leadership.
Buhari’s electoral victory reinforces the consolidation of Nigeria’s
credential as Africa’s largest democracy. This victory should
embolden him as he confronts the menace of Boko Haram and
much-needed military reforms to restore Nigeria’s role as a force
for stabilisation in West Africa.

Zuma is still distracted by the Nkandla scandal involving public
money being spent on his family home. Questions over the
expenditure have led to unruly scenes in Parliament but Zuma
should seize the chance to reinvent himself as an African
statesman by reaching out to Buhari in new initiatives to address
the malaise facing African institutions.

The resurgent Nigeria and South Africa should make no
pretences to hegemony – that crude inclination toward unilateral
approaches.

Leadership on African issues needs to be collective and
consensus-based, reflecting the realities of scarce resources in
the context of complex and multifaceted needs.
Although both countries will not replicate the strengths and
advantages of the Mbeki-Obasanjo era, they have no choice but
to improvise on strategies to check the steady deterioration of
institutions and frameworks.

South Africa and Nigeria can provide optimal leadership when
they work with other like-minded African countries in peace
making, peacekeeping and peace-building initiatives.
Leadership often entails sub-contracting roles to regional
institutions which are better at galvanising political attention
and resources.

The priority for both countries should be to return to the
agenda of strengthening the security and economic capacities of
bodies such as the Southern African Development Community,
the Economic Community of West African States, and the East
African Community.

More importantly, the African Union has wandered off-course in
recent years because of a lack of clear direction. Some of its
core institutions, such as the African Peer Review Mechanism,
are in profound crisis due to a lack of funding and waning
resolve about their continuation.

Buhari and Zuma should organise an urgent conference in Africa
to raise funds to rescue peer review from collapse. There should
also be pressure on all countries that have not signed up to do
so before the end of 2016.

The question that remains is how will Africa forge common
governance values when half of the African Union member
states are afraid to be reviewed by their peers? Reinvigorating
the mechanism is necessary to boost the frameworks of the
African Charter on Democracy, Elections, and Governance which
came into force in 2012. The charter needs champions.
There are already severe reversals in democratic gains. Burundi
and South Sudan are good examples.

Africa and the international community invested considerable
resources in the stabilisation in Burundi and South Sudan. The
negotiation of pacts paved the way for democracy and power
sharing, paving the way for the return of peace and stability but
erratic elites are single-mindedly leading these countries back
into civil wars.

Nigeria and South Africa should lead from the front in defending
the sanctity of democratic values and practices in Africa.
As part of fresh commitments to end impunity and enhance
accountability and justice, Nigeria and South Africa need to
marshal the authority to repair Africa’s relations with the
International Criminal Court.

The African Union is not the ideal forum for Africa to pronounce
itself on the court. While there are genuine complaints about
the court’s role in Africa, the African Union has taken unhelpful
positions on African cases that have potentially undermined its
reputation and stature.

The majority of countries that signed up to the Rome Statute
that created the court are African. These countries have
signalled their distinctive domestic value systems that
distinguish them from countries that have procrastinated on
joining it.

Nigeria and South Africa are parties to the court. They need to
bring the African Union to order on the subject.

So, do help her during the 'Red' days.

LAGOS — President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, charged
National Youths Service Corps, NYSC, members to join hands
with his administration in the fight against corruption in the
country.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of 2015 Batch ‘A’ (Stream
II) corps members deployed to Lagos State, at the NYSC
Orientation Camp, in Iyana-Ipaja, Buhari who spoke through
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, who was also
represented by Dr. Aderemi Desalu, Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Special Duties, affirmed that the true desired change
that Nigerians yearned for must begin with the youths.

Earlier, Mr. Cyril Akhanemhe, Lagos State Coordinator of NYSC, said 2,500 corps members, comprising 825 males and 1,675 females, were participating in the programme in Lagos, even as he appealed to Governor Ambode to assist the NYSC in renovating the
temporary camp in Iyana Ipaja as well as providing a state-of-
the-art permanent orientation camp in Lagos.

Stating, however, that the occasion was special to him, as the
corps members are the first set to be sworn in for the one-year
mandatory national service under his administration, Buhari
said: “My dear compatriots, the time has come for us as
responsible citizens to come to terms with the prevailing
realities in our national life. Without doubt, the current situation
in our country calls for unity, commitment and hardwork to help
its development.

“As we have promised Nigerians, my administration will soon
unveil a comprehensive National Youths Empowerment
Programme, anchored on the model provided by the NYSC
scheme, Our goal is to comprehensively address youth
unemployment, insecurity and other social vices prevalent
among our youths.”

“Let me assure you all that change for us is not just a political
slogan, it is the dawn of new order, sough for by majority of our
people. The true change we desire must start with everyone of
us, especially you, the Nigerian youths.
“On our part, we are prepared and determined to lead the
nation with sincerity of purpose. We will continue to support
and encourage corps members and the NYSC scheme by quick
intervention and fulfilment of statutory obligations at all tiers of
government.

“Corps members must be ready to participate fully and join
hands with all Nigerians to fight the scourge of corruption. I call
on you to cultivate the spirit of hardwork and selfless service.”

Dr. Teddy Agida, an obstetrician and gynaecologist
with the University Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada,
Abuja, said sexual intercourse during menstruation
can ease cramps.

Agida said this on Thursday in a telephone interview
with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.

He said it was absolutely safe to have sexual
intercourse when a woman is menstruating, adding
that some women observed it could reduce cramps.

He said: “Sex while you are menstruating can help
ease the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome.

“Many women say that orgasm can ease their cramps
and the orgasmic contractions of the uterus offer a
soothing internal massage.

“Many women also prefer having sex more when they
are menstruating because of increased feelings of
fullness in the pelvic and genital areas.”

The expert, however, noted that the chances of
sexually transmitted diseases and infections were high
during this period, warning that the cervix is open to
allow blood to pass through.

Agida further said that passage of blood created the
pathway for bacteria to travel deep into the pelvic
cavity. He said: “If any of the couple is infected with blood
borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it can be
transmitted during menstruation and more likely to
develop yeast or bacterial infections.

“Yeast can grow because the vagina’s pH during menstruation

The gynaecologist also observed that pregnancy could
be achieved during menstruation depending on the
cycle of the woman. He said: “Normally, every woman follows a 28 to 32-day cycle.

“In less common scenarios, a woman with a shorter
menstrual cycle may be 24 days could have seven
days of bleeding.

“She could have intercourse on her final day of
bleeding and ovulate three days later and as sperms
live for three to five days, she could definitely get
pregnant.”

Agida also said some women experienced
breakthrough spotting or bleeding between periods.
He said it occurred during ovulation and could be
mistaken for a period, making it difficult to establish
the exact place in the menstrual cycle. Agida suggested that the option of contraceptionshould not be forgone if the woman was notexpecting to have a baby.

According to him, perceiving intercourse as unsafe
during menstruation was a myth that originated
largely from religious texts. He said: “Many people wrongly believed that womenwere dirty or unclean while menstruating.

“And for this reason, contact with menstruating
women was limited or forbidden entirely.

“In fact, some religions still adhere to these practices.

“However, medically and secularly speaking, there is
no reason not to have sex on your period.”
Agida, however, advised that irrespective of individual
religious beliefs, it was necessary couples had the
understanding and ensure that intercourse was for
the benefit of both.

He also suggested that couples could explore kissing
and oral means of satisfying each other during
menstruation or rather abstain.

If this is true, it's arrant nonsense, when the state and local govts political staffs didn't to cut their salaries by 50%. Anyway, the labour will melt the govt.

Somebody should tell this General that there is different between Nigerian government and Nigerian military.

Mods, push this thread to the frontpage, there are many useful contributions capable of helping the parents, students, incorruptible corp members and the society at large. And of course, for more useful comments to troop in.

Thats a path to give the best. The criteria are good except one-2nd highest vote ish.

Definitely, nobody born of a woman can remove you! Fayose, just allow the APC lawmakers to seat and watch the result.

I strongly condemn the act, but you are also reaping the dividends of democracy given to the hooligans.
