Niran Adedokun
The tragedy that hit the ruling All Progressives Congress on Tuesday was pretty predictable, only that it happened on us much earlier than I expected.

I understand that partisans would consider classifying Tuesday’s happenstance as tragic outrageous, but if such persons tarry and get a bit more reflective, they would recall that the Peoples Democratic Party was deprived of just half of what the APC lost earlier this week when AminuTambuwal emerged as the Speaker of the House of Representatives on June 4, 2011. But that marginal loss was enough to signal the beginning of the end of the party’s long reign. How then are we able to predict what could happen when a ruling party does not have the confidence of leaders of the two chambers of the national assembly from the very outset? I think it is tragic, especially for a party which bore so much promise.

But the APC had it coming.

Hinging his decision not to interfere in the selection of the leaders of the National Assembly on the change mantra on which he was elected, President Muhammadu Buhari had stated in clear terms that he was ready to work with whoever emerges from the two chambers.

But events have shown that Buhari was alone in the contemplation that change should indeed transform from a mere election slogan into an action word starting with the party.

Some stalwarts of the party apparently calling the tunes for members of the National Working Committee insisted that two people, namely Senator Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila, must emerge as the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively regardless of the feelings of other party members who were interested in the offices.

Mock elections that they called went on in spite of the boycott of Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara and their supporters with the desired candidates of the powers that be declared elected.

From here, a couple of discomforting things came up about the APC. The first is that a party which came to Nigerians with promises for change betrayed the people by going about the selection of candidates for national offices with such a draconian flavour.

While it is okay that a party may want to resolve the multiplicity of aspirations for offices among its members, it is counterproductive for party leaders to maintain that only people of their choice would make it to the offices, in spite of the interests of other eminently qualified people.

In the aftermath of the emergence of Saraki and Dogara as Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives respectively, I have heard murmurings of over ambition from shocking quarters including the spokesperson for the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

But I wonder whether there is really anything so called amongst politicians. It is legitimate for anyone to seek to attain any office that they desire. If the party on whose platform such a person has any contrary idea, it behoves the party to either present a compromise, compelling enough for the aspirant to reconsider or go defeat him in a free and fair contest. If both parties are unable to reach a compromise, it is within the right of such a candidate to pursue his dream. This is more so when Saraki and Dogara only asked for open internal elections instead of the ones they thought were skewed in favour of candidates of some leaders of the party.

In any case, wouldn’t the desire of members of the NWC and their sponsors to decide who occupies these positions also amount to over ambition if we were to employ the same standards?

Another point suggesting that Saraki and Dogara would have good company if the over-ambitious tag should stick is that in spite of the enormous capital that the duo and others brought to the APC when they left the PDP in 2014, the party, by insisting that none of them was good enough to take the numbers three and four positions in the land, bares its disrespect for justice, fairness and equity. This is in spite of the realisation that no politician makes such sacrifices for the love of God. All politicians make moves which would ultimately further their career and these veterans know this but chose to be self-centred.

The second unfortunate fallout of the scramble for power by leaders of the APC is that they left the President bare. Nearly two weeks after the swearing in of President Buhari, key intervening positions like that of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as well as that of the Chief of Staff to the President have not been filled. The reason for this couldn’t be far from the struggle for relevance among various groups of people that came together to form the APC.

The result of this is that Buhari is left without quality advice. He is left open to a wild fire, without the advantage of deniabilityfor any step or misstep that he might make. This, to my mind, would account for the reason why the President sent the Order of Proclamation to the National Assembly way ahead of the inauguration of the assembly. Were the party leaders more alert to the need to protect the President, such a proclamation would have been withheld until possibly after the President’s scheduled belated meeting with the APC legislators. The President’s letter to the Clerk legitimised the sitting of the senators who elected Saraki.

Tuesday’s event should send a signal to the leaders of the APC that there is no one person with the exclusive blessing of strategic thinking. In actual fact, the master stroke of seeking the adoption of the senators elected on the platform of the PDP shows Saraki and Dogara as strategic political thinkers that the APC should not joke with. In addition to that, it suggests that those who opposed the candidacy of these two winners are actually not as adept as they appeared to be. It is unthinkable that they imagined that their candidates would win the elections without the support of the PDP members such that Saraki had them all behind him, no matter what he had to concede. After all, negotiation is one of the most important skills that a leader should possess, an asset that a political party should pursue.

Typical of the way politics is played in Nigeria however, the APC fired a salvo at Saraki and Dogara calling them all sorts of names on Tuesday. A statement issued by Mohammed rejected the emergence of both gentlemen threatening that the party would sanction them.

Let us hope that the threat will not go beyond the paper on which it was printed and that leaders of the APC would bury the hatchet and not allow their egos to overrun them. Evidently, the party will now want to preach the importance of party supremacy and discipline, but the truth is that enforcing such principles also demands a measure of impartiality from those who have the responsibility of leading the party. Without clean hands, the leadership of the APC cannot demand equity.

The party hierarchy therefore needs to rein in all the burgeoning egos that have been bruised by the Coup de main spearheaded by Saraki. Going ahead with the threat to reject the elections and sanctioning the winners will drag the APC into a needless crisis which will be unhealthy for it and the nation.

What I think the APC should concentrate is how to support President Buhari and the National Assembly in providing meaningful leadership to Nigerians.

The power tussle which will result from those threats will deepen the gulf of distrust in the party, push these gentlemen farther away and set the tone for the failure of an administration on which Nigerians have placed all their hopes. It will also be the seal on the coffin of the APC and the ultimate tragedy, the kind which will make a child’s play of the confusion that visited the PDP after the March 28 elections. Let the APC save itself from this looming disaster.

The biggest news story of the year was breaking, but the journalist responsible was fast asleep.
It was just after dawn on 27 May when Andrew Jennings’s phone began ringing. Swiss police had just launched a startling raid on a luxury hotel in Zurich, arresting seven top FIFA officials and charging them and others with running a $150 million racket. The world was stunned.
The waking world, that is. If Jennings had bothered to climb out of bed, he wouldn’t have been surprised at the news. After all, he was the man who set the investigation in motion, with a book in 2006, “FOUL! The Secret World of FIFA: Bribes, Vote-Rigging and Ticket Scandals,” followed by an exposé aired on the BBC’s “Panorama” program that same year, and then another book in 2014, called “Omerta: Sepp Blatter’s FIFA Organised Crime Family.”

Opinion : As fifa president sepp blatter resigns for the stake of world football, caf president isah hayatou too should resign for the stake of african football.

I was sent " Jonathan promises to provide 2 million jobs every year if re-elected. To get more JOKES from him,text JONATHAN to 3325."

Paul and Tunrayo Alagbe were married on September 3, 1998 and had their first child on December 29, 2014. RITA OKONOBOH chronicles the couple’s journey through the years of trials to the unfolding of boundless blessings.
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him (Psalm 40: 1-3).
The above Psalm verses aptly describe Mrs Tunrayo Alagbe’s testimony of the Lord’s goodness as she finally gave birth to a daughter at a few months shy of 60 years of age.
It was a sunny afternoon on Monday, January 5, 2015, and the atmosphere was radiantly purpled by the stylish outfits of many who had come to witness the naming ceremony of the lovely daughter of the Alagbes. The crowd was surprisingly large, even for the African setting, as many braced the burning rays beating down on the premises of the Women Missionary Union (WMU) headquarters of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), Total Garden area, Ibadan, just to show their solidarity with the couple.
As the President of the NBC, Reverend Dr Supo Ayokunle, affirmed during his address at the naming ceremony , “This child has, from the beginning, started breaking records. I have never seen a naming ceremony that attracted this kind of crowd. Also, no naming ceremony has been conducted on the premises before now. This goes to show that God can do anything, anytime, anywhere and anyhow, pleasantly, for his own people. For those who wait upon God, it is never over until it is over. This is an occasion for us to understand that God’s ways are not our ways.”
The Retired Executive Director, Women Missionary Union, Nigeria, and a close friend of the family who anchored the naming of the baby, Reverend Mrs Yemi Ladokun, took the audience through the time of waiting. She showed to the crowd some flowers from the bouquet used during the wedding and stated that she had kept the flowers thinking she would use them during the year after the wedding during the naming ceremony of a child but she was wrong as she had to wait for almost 17 years.
The child was given close to 40 names including, Halleluyah, Testimony, Esther, Jesulayomi, Ileri-Ayo-Mi, OkikiJesu, Adepate, Oluwatoyin, Omoronike, Ibiyemi, Oluremi, Motunrayo, Mo-F’Oluwa-ke, Aderonke, Odunola, Eri-Ipe, Ewa-Iyin, Itan-iyanu-ife, IturaOluwa, Favour, Oluwadamilare, Titilayomi-niwaju-Oluwa, among other significant names.
‘A childless woman has no honour, no respect, no place’
Speaking with Sunday Tribune on the experience during the years of anxiety, Mrs Alagbe noted that the many years of worrying, coupled with the delay before marriage, contributed to making the experience quite worrying. According to her, “I wouldn’t say we were not worried, but God was comforting and encouraging us. It was not a pleasant experience at all. We experienced delay before marriage but this one was more excruciating. However, God sustained us.”
On the most nagging worry during the times of trial, the couple notes that the African tendency to look down on a childless couple was a constant source of concern. According to the mother, “In Africa, having children is very important. If you’re married and childless, it’s like you have no honour, no respect, no place. You’re nobody, so to speak.”
The father, Paul Alagbe, further stated that “She would sometimes say if she had known that it would be like this, she would not marry me as it seems like she is a problem to me.” His wife affirmed this by stating that “Medically, I was told he has no problem, but I was the one whose fallopian tubes were blocked. I felt like I was a burden to him, like I shouldn’t have come his way and instead allowed him to live his life.”
‘Childlessness does not mean you are married to the wrong person’
The president of the NBC, Reverend Ayokunle, who spoke on challenges and godly responses noted that nobility and godliness does not immune an individual from trials. According to him, “Childlessness is not a modern-day challenge. The fact that your family is childless does not mean you are married to the wrong person. Some couples who do not have the problem of childlessness have other problems. Would you rather exchange childlessness for blindness, for instance? A problem is a problem but God is always there.”
On her general outlook during the period of not knowing how things would turn out, Mrs Alagbe, whom many describe as cheerful, warm and always ready with a smile,  narrated “I kept hoping. I cherished my personal relationship with God because I know that the day you die, this issue of having children no longer has meaning. So, I was jealously guarding my personal relationship with God, especially in relation to eternity. I tried to enjoy other things God has blessed me with. Although, I was often disturbed by that one thing he had not done, I tried to enjoy what he has done and in my own little way, I served him, hoping He will do it. I thought that if He doesn’t do it, He knows why and knows how to sustain me. That’s also why I didn’t visit all sort of places because I know that if I eventually get a child from the wrong source and I end up in hell, what use will it be? Besides, God encouraged me that He will do it and I trusted in His promise.”
‘There was pressure on me as the only surviving male to have a child’
Her husband, Mr Alagbe, was not also without his own troubles. According to him, he was constantly reminded about the need to take the alternative option by getting a second wife. This was further hinged on his position as the only surviving male child of his family. As Mr Alagbe puts it, “We were six in my family; four of them died and it was just me and my sister left. All my siblings who died did not have any children and there was pressure on me as the only surviving male to have a child. However, I was convinced by my faith not to do anything negative.”
God never comes too late –Mother
Mrs Alagbe, who started treatment in early 2014, was confirmed pregnant in April 2014 and the reaction of the couple when the news first broke is too much to sufficiently capture in words.
“I didn’t believe it. It didn’t have much meaning to me. It was like I was dreaming. However, as time went on, I saw it becoming a reality. I just kept thanking God because He said He will do it according to his promise in Psalm 40. I know that this miracle is for God’s name to be glorified and for the hope of people to be reawakened so that they believe that God still works miracles. God never comes too late,” Mrs Alagbe stated.
For Mr Alagbe, his reception of the good news was almost unbelievable. In his words, “It was like a dream. I kept asking myself if it was true.”
While echoing the joy of motherhood, Mrs Alagbe stated that “I just praise God. I’m delighted that God kept his word. In January 2013, there was a prophecy in our church that God will do it. Several people came to me and told me to hold on to that prophecy because it was for me. In addition to what others had been telling me, and the support I received, especially from my church, El-Shaddai Baptist Church, Pastor Mrs Olateju and many people, I am happy that God has been faithful to His word.”
‘You can still help people even in your own sorrow’
While acknowledging that going through childlessness is no trivial task, Mrs Alagbe advises couples in this situation to guard their relationship with God whatever the eventual outcome. As she points out, “Even if at the end of the day, God doesn’t do it, it is to the advantage of the couple. I reached that stage where I told God that if He doesn’t do it, I’m okay with His decision because He knows what is best for me. My advice is that they should hold on to God and ensure that their personal relationship with God stands. They should also do other things to serve God because when you serve God, you are not likely to be too sorrowful and you’ll be happy to meet the needs of others and minister to people. Couples should not aimlessly trust God but anchor on a verse on the Bible and trust the eventual manifestation of God’s word. They should also help others. You can still help people even in your own sorrow. When you minister to the needs of people, your burden is lightened. The couple shouldn’t become so averse to others as if barrenness is the only problem in the world. Afterall, God has done other things that they can enjoy and appreciate. Let them hold on to God.”
Mr Alagbe, affirmed by friends and church members to be a friend of children and who also teaches children in the church, advises couples in the situation to ensure that they are not hostile to people, especially children, no matter how hard it seems.
Taking more wives is courting more problems –Father
In his advice for men who are currently undergoing the challenge of childlessness and who, like him, had been advised to take a second wife, Mr Alagbe encourages them to fear God, stating that “If they go for more wives, they are asking for more problems. The best thing is to hold on to God and see beyond the immediate situation. Right from time, I knew there was a problem but I also considered what the situation would be if I was the one who had the problem.”
The couple attempted to relive the priceless memory of viewing the child for the first time. For Mr Alagbe, “There was anxiety at the time of delivery. I read Tribune newspapers a lot and I had read something about a similar case in which the operation was not successful and I kept thinking about it. But when I saw the baby, I almost cried. I was very happy.”
For Mrs Alagbe, “I was just happy. I don’t know the words to use. I was excited. I was thrilled that the baby had come at last. I had her through Caesarian section at Vine Branch Medical Centre and at the theatre, when they told me ‘this is your baby; it’s a perfect baby,’ I wanted to scream and say ‘Wow! So this is what was in my womb!’ I lack words to explain. Even though I was in pains, I couldn’t sleep throughout that day. I was just looking at her and I kept saying to myself, ‘So this is you I have been waiting for. Where did you hide?’ I was really very happy.”
The President, Ibadan Baptist Conference, Reverend (Dr) Yemi Adekunle, in his prayers for the family, prayed that their faith remains unshaken and that God’s favour will radiate not just in the family but through all present.
For prayers, encouragement and for witnessing the ceremony, the Pastor, First Baptist Church, Ibafo, thanked and prayed for God’s blessings upon all.

We can produce #Ebola Jokes,Even if we can't produce Ebola vaccines! Research noni!

THERE was confusion in the Anambra State command of the Nigeria Police on Wednesday, as tension rose when some policemen from the command were transferred to the crisis-torn North-East.

Police officers who were transferred to Borno and Adamawa threatened resignation, while a Dvisional Police Officer (DPO) from Anaku Division, in Ayemelum Local Government Area (names withheld), resigned.

The DPO was said to be due for retirement February 2015, but was posted to Chibok in Borno State as DPO and was heard saying it would be better for him to go home in peace than in pieces since his retirement was at hand.

The move shocked the state police command, as many who were transferred to Sokoto and Bauchi states  were considering the option of resignation.

All efforts to speak with the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Usman Gwarry was not successful and the Police Pubic Relations Officer (PPRO), who would have spoken on his behalf was said to have been transferred to Sokoto and was running around.

Why Obasanjo fought me, by Alamieyeseigha

Category: Inside politics Published on Tuesday, 24 December 2013 05:01 Written by Chris Eze, Yenagoa Hits: 3555

⁠View Comments

Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is the former governor of Bayelsa State who was impeached in controversial circumstances during Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration over corruption allegations. He was later convicted and jailed for similar charges. But he was pardoned by President Goodluck Jonathan, amid allegations of nepotism, as he was the boss of Jonathan when they were running their home state of Bayelsa. In this interview, he speaks on the current face-off between President Jonathan and ex-president Obasanjo and on his personal encounter with the latter. Excerpts:

Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha

What is your reaction to the letter written to President Jonathan by former president Olusegun Obasanjo?
I want to start by saying that this is a democratic government. Today it is President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday it was Umaru Musa Yar’adua, the day before yesterday it was Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. The office of the president of the country is an institution; it is not personified per se, in terms of policies and programmes. The aggregation of our thoughts is that when the president was voted into power he had been mandated to execute state policies on behalf of the citizens. President Jonathan is not a super human being, so if the country is drifting in the eyes of objective and patriotic persons in the country, they can come out and proffer better solutions after identifying the problems. But such criticisms must be constructive and not laced with bias, hatred and sentiment. Such alternative views should be passed on with love and genuine intentions. Once it is perceived that such a criticism has hidden motives outside fairness, then it becomes questionable.
The advice, through a letter to President Jonathan, no doubt is coming from a respected person who has ruled the country both as a military head of state and as a two-time president of a democratic government. Yes, we can concede to him, he has the in-depth knowledge of governance. He has seen it all, and so a letter coming from him should not be taken on the face value. In my objective opinion, I will say President Jonathan and his aides should look at it and make a proper analysis of the content. But my grouse with the entire scenario is that the approach to writing the letter to President Jonathan is very mischievous and there is clear bias and sentiments in the circumstance which has caused it to generate some controversy.
At least as a former governor, I will say that I have encountered Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
The Obasanjo I know, when he was the president of this country had displayed all the things he is alleging against Jonathan even more than any other leader in the country. There is no issue he has raised in his letter that he did not do when he was at the head of government in this country. That is why I am insisting that Chief Obasanjo is mischievous in his intent of writing the letter to Goodluck Jonathan and leaking it to the press. Chief Obasanjo’s character is that if it is not him it should not be anyone else. He is ‘Mr Know all’. He will call you for a meeting to come and brainstorm to proffer solutions to a problem. He will tell you about the problem and proffer solution without giving you room to make any contribution to what he invited you to. That is his character.
What is your reaction to the aspect of the letter which says that Jonathan should forget 2015?
It surprises me that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the one insinuating about the aspiration of President Goodluck Jonathan come 2015. To be precise, on 18th of August 2005, then President Obasanjo called me into his inner office and asked me why I was supporting his Vice Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. He offered to give me whatever I would have benefitted supporting Atiku. He told me that if I don’t work for him it’s possible he would give it to my deputy. He had explained to me that he was not the oldest president in Africa that he wants to continue for an extended tenure in office. He told me not to support a bloody civilian like Atiku Abubakar and that I should work with him to actualise his ambition. Today, he is denying everywhere; that he never wanted a third term in office. I am also very surprised that Chief Obasanjo is talking about drift in governance and development. After Chief Obasanjo assumed office in 1999, he was only globe-trotting; it was Atiku Abubakar who was running the country, nothing had happened. Obasanjo did not achieve anything as a president during his first tenure all in the name of laundering the image of the country.
In his second tenure when he realised that  Atiku Abubaker had already put in structures all over the country to take over from him, he started fighting him. So in his second tenure again he did not achieve anything. He was busy fighting Atiku, Alamieyeseigha and the rest of other persons he suspected were not on his side. So in concrete terms what did he achieve as a president for the eight years he had ruled this country? Today, he is talking about Goodluck Jonathan training snipers or whatever he calls it and having a watch list. How many high profile persons have been killed during Goodluck Jonathan’s time compared to the long list of great men who were killed during his time as president of the country? Has he forgotten about Bola Ige? What happened to Marshall Harry, Dikibo, Funsho Williams? I can go on and on. Who are the sharp shooters that killed all these prominent Nigerians and what has been the outcome of their investigations? If I may ask again, what is the rationale behind Chief Obasanjo copying two former military rulers and T Y Danjuma in his letter? I am sure his reference to Dr (Alex) Ekwueme is only an afterthought. Nigerians should underline this and study it. This is a food for thought for the citizens.
Also know that Obasanjo only promotes himself. In 1992 when Abiola was contesting to become the president of the country, one of his worst antagonists was General Obasanjo. There is nothing he did not do to pull Abiola down insisting that Abiola was not fit to be the president of the country. He even offered himself to be the interim president of the country. When Abacha came, he used the same style to pull him down. Abacha could not stand it, and put him in jail. God, using General Abdulsalami Abubakar, he was brought out from jail and the Yorubas were compensated, particularly the Egba area, and gave them the presidency which he was the main beneficiary. When he emerged as president of the country, what did he do in his second coming as the leader of our dear country?
Are you saying that the letter in its entirety is not worthy of Jonathan’s attention?
There is no man on this earth that knows everything about governance. Even if you have tested power severally, one is still bound to make mistakes. Governance is a very complex thing. The office of the president, if you are not careful, only those who want to tell you what you want to hear will have access to you. I cannot say the content of the letter is entirely rubbish as a Nigerian. You should know that President Jonathan must step on some toes for him to achieve success in the reforms he is embarking upon. He has done certain things that only courageous people can do. The pains for the ultimate realisation of the Nigerian dream can only last for a while. We must concede that at least Jonathan has achieved some great feat. But those things that he has not done well, he should be encouraged and advised in the right way and with good intention and not staying outside to command him as if the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is your subject, you can just seat anywhere to control. Leadership is like a relay race. Goodluck Jonathan should be allowed to run his race.
Do you think the circumstances occasioned by Obasanjo’s letter will affect the fortunes of Jonathan should he decides to re-contest in 2015?
Obasanjo is not Nigeria; he alone cannot tell the citizens what to do. Remember, he lost election in his own village that is how unpopular he is, even up until today or tomorrow. But Nigerians still voted for him. His disposition cannot significantly affect the electoral fortunes of Jonathan. It’s God who gives power: if God so desires that Jonathan should continue in office, then his aspiration will come to fruition. Jonathan has done much more than any other president has done. Let us support and encourage him instead of trying to pull him down by whipping up sentiments.
How would you advise Jonathan to respond to the letter?
If I had to advise him, I would have told him not to respond to Obasanjo’s letter. I am glad both of them met in Kenya. Jonathan should search his conscience, let him discuss with his close aides, let him re-assess those areas that needed to be addressed, he should highlight them and make improvement where necessary. Chief Obasanjo is older than he is, he was there before him; he should concede certain wisdom to him because he is more experienced. He should not insult him as long as that same respect is accorded him as the president of the country.
