Politics › Arik Stowaway, Daniel Ohikhena : “I Am Tired, I Want To Go Home" by luvola(op): 6:01am On Sep 12, 2013
source : http://www.nairacity..com/2013/09/arik-stowaway-daniel-ohikhena-i-am.html

Ricky Daniel Ohikhena the stowaway teenager, who, on 24th of August, this year hid in a wheel well of an Arik Air craft from Benin to Lagos, has said he did was not aware that he took a risk when he did that, promising not to do it again.

“I regret it. I want to go home, I am tired.” On his dream, the boy said: “I will be happy to train as an engineer.”

The young Ohikhena, had since his return from Lagos two weeks ago, been held up in a building in the company of security personnel in the Government House, Benin City.

Speaking to journalists, the apparently home-sick boy requested that he should be allowed to go home with his mother to enable him resume school.

Master Ohikhena said he was happy with the award of scholarship to him by De Rauf Foundation and Edo state Government.

He said he was terrified when he was arrested on arrival in Lagos from Benin, adding that he was not maltreated but given good food where he was kept.

He told journalists that he was questioned in Lagos and in Benin, revealing that he returned to Benin by road with three armed security men.
He said that on the return trip to Benin and even at his present location, he was being treated well with “good food,” but that since school has resumed, he would want to go home.

Meanwhile, Master Ohikhena has secured admission in one of the state’s top secondary schools for 13-year-old Daniel Ohikhena by the Edo state Government.

The State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole made this disclosure during the visit of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) Managing Director Mr George Uriesi and other FAAN Management team to him at the Government House, Benin City, yesterday.

According to the Governor, “without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there is need to closely watch him which his parents could not do.

“He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal.

“This incident was probably the kind of trigger that we needed to improve the facilities at our Airports. You are never going to have all the money you need to do all you have to do. You should start from somewhere,” he noted.

Oshiomhole added: “It is also a security issue that we do not have any runway security lights at the Benin Airport.”

Politics › Presidency, G-7 Meeting Deadlock Over Amaechi by luvola(op): 5:11am On Sep 12, 2013
source : http://www.nairacity..com/2013/09/presidency-g-7-meeting-deadlock-over.html
There were indications that the attempt by the Presidency to gloss over the Rivers State issue had stalled negotiations despite spirited attempts to resolve the crisis rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, which split into two weeks ago
It was learnt that the presidency had asked stakeholders that the Rivers State crisis could only be looked into after the withdrawal of the several cases pending in courts but the G-7 feared that it was a strategic move by the forces led by the Presidency to punish the governor.
There was concern that the Presidency was determined to isolate the Rivers State Governor Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and make him a scapegoat of the crisis.
It was learnt that the President and his team at the peace talk on Tuesday night at the Presidential Villa were non-committal on all issues relating to Amaechi.
Jonathan is said to have agreed to make what a source described as “little concessions” relating to issues pertaining to the governor, thereby fuelling speculations that he and his team had made up their minds to reign in Amaechi at all cost.
At the meeting on one side were President Jonathan ,Chief Godswin Akpabio, the Chairman of the BoT, Tony Anenih, the Chairman of PDP Governors Forum;Cross River Governor Liyel Imoke and his Kogi counterpart, Capt. Idris Wada.
On the side of the G-7 governors were Rivers state Governor Rotimi Amaechi ; Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Babangida Aliyu; and Aliyu Wammako (Sokoto). One of the sources at the meeting said: “The grievances of the governors were tabled and revisited one by one by all those
at the meeting.
“When the issue of party structure in each of the affected states came up, the overriding interest of PDP was put into the consideration and the President and his team agreed that
the authentic party structures should be restored in Adamawa and Kano states.
“As for Rivers State, the President and his team advised all the parties to withdraw their suits in court to resolve the matter.
“Although the President admitted that the suspension of Amaechi was illegal and the required 30 days had elapsed, everything was predicated on the resolution of disputes in court.
“There was suspicion by the G-7 governors that the presidency came with a mindset to resolve issues except the crisis in Rivers. They are trying to isolate Amaechi to deal with him.
“Everybody has been wondering why the President’s body language was different on Rivers State. Jonathan was non-committal on the solutions to Rivers crisis.
On the row in the Nigeria Governors Forum, the source stated: “Those with the President advised Amaechi to step down but the governor said he would not relinguish his mandate and the case was shifted to Sunday.
Regarding 2015 poll, another source said one of the governors at the session created tension when he took advantage of the talks to lash out at G-7 governors.
He said the G-7 governors and others were deliberately causing crisis because of 2015 poll in order to stop Jonathan from contesting.
But one of the governors from the North said he had been in four meetings, including Ethiopia and United States where Jonathan said he would not contest.
The source added: “When the tension was too much, it was agreed that 2015 poll should be put on the agenda at the next meeting on Sunday.

Politics › Russia Proposes Syria Chemical Weapons Deal To Avert War by luvola(op): 12:58am On Sep 10, 2013
source :http://www.nairacity..com/2013/09/russia-proposes-syria-chemical-weapons.html


As Barack Obama struggled to rally Congress behind U.S. military action in Syria, Russia seized on a remark by his secretary of state on Monday to say Damascus should save itself by handing over chemical weapons.
John Kerry was quick to dismiss as hypothetical his own comment that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could avert U.S. strikes by surrendering his chemical arsenal – but not before Assad’s ally Russia had turned it into a firm proposal that was “welcomed” by Damascus and echoed by U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon.
The White House said it was “seriously skeptical”. And rebels fighting Assad’s forces on the ground, where hundreds are being killed by conventional bullets and explosives every week, dismissed any such weapons transfer as impossible to police and a mere decoy to frustrate U.S. plans to attack.
But with President Obama preparing to make his case in television interviews later on Monday to an American public and their representatives who remain wary of involvement in another distant war, the armaments proposal could complicate his task.
The outcome of votes in Congress remains hard to predict.
Obama has argued that Assad, fighting to continue his family’s four-decade rule in a civil war well into its third year, must be punished for what Washington says was a poison gas attack on rebel areas that killed over 1,400 people on August 21.
The president surprised friends and foes alike by turning to Congress for approval, delaying any U.S. response. His national security adviser, in comments that may reflect some of the arguments Obama will deploy to win over doubters, said that an eventual failure to attack would boost Washington’s other foes.
“We cannot allow terrorists bent on destruction, or a nuclear North Korea, or an aspiring nuclear Iran, to believe for one minute that we are shying away from our determination to back up our longstanding warnings,” Susan Rice said on Monday.
Asked by a reporter during a visit to London whether there was anything Assad’s government could do or offer to stop a U.S. military strike, Secretary of State Kerry answered:
“Sure. He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week – turn it over, all of it without delay and allow the full and total accounting. But he isn’t about to do it and it can’t be done.”
The State Department later said Kerry had been making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility of Assad turning over chemical weapons, which Assad denies his forces used.
RUSSIAN PROPOSAL
Less than five hours later, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he had put what sounded like Kerry’s proposal to his visiting Syrian counterpart during talks in Moscow. And Walid al-Moualem said Damascus welcomed the Russian initiative – while not spelling out whether Syria would, or even could, comply.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has blocked U.N. action against Assad and says Obama would be guilty of unlawful aggression if he launches an attack without U.N. approval.
Lavrov said: “If the establishment of international control over chemical weapons … makes it possible to avoid strikes, then we will immediately get to work with Damascus.”
Shortly afterward, United Nations Secretary General Ban took up the same theme, saying that he might ask the Security Council to end its “embarrassing paralysis” over Syria and agree to act.
Asked about Lavrov’s proposal, Ban said: “I’m considering urging the Security Council to demand the immediate transfer of Syria’s chemical weapons and chemical precursor stocks to places inside Syria where they can be safely stored and destroyed.”
Ban has warned against any action that lacks the approval of the world security body could worsen the situation in Syria.
U.N. chemical weapons inspectors were in Damascus at the time of the mass poisoning, which Assad and Putin have blamed on rebel forces. Ban said that if the evidence they were able to gather – after lengthy bargaining over their movements with Syrian officials – proved the use of toxins, the world must act.
Syria, which has never signed a global treaty banning the storage of chemical weapons, is believed to have large stocks of sarin, mustard gas and VX nerve agents – the actual use of which is banned by a 1925 treaty to which Damascus is a signatory.
White House officials made clear their skepticism of the workability of the Russian proposal. Syria is a battleground where access for foreign experts would be dangerous. And it would be very hard to verify whether all sites had been sealed.
Years of cat-and-mouse maneuvering between U.N. weapons inspectors and Saddam Hussein in neighboring Iraq show how difficult it might be to enforce any arms control orders on a timetable that would satisfy Washington in the midst of a war.
Qassim Saadeddine, a rebel commander in northern Syria and a spokesman for the Supreme Military Council of Assad’s opponents, said: “It is a trap and deceitful maneuver by the Damascus regime and will do nothing to help the situation.
“They have tons of weapons hidden that would be nearly impossible for international inspectors to find.”
Putin, however, would see major diplomatic advantages to any plan that bolstered Russia’s role in brokering international settlements and thwarted strikes in which Obama may have French military support, as well as broader sympathy among Western leaders and Arab governments hostile to Assad’s backer Iran.
The Russian proposal won a cautious welcome in public from both the British and French governments, Obama’s main European allies in the crisis. Obama’s former rival for the presidency, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, also said surrender of chemical weapons would be an “important step” for Syria.
CONGRESSIONAL LOBBYING
Kerry spoke to Lavrov after his proposal, a U.S. official said.
In Washington, U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken said the United States would take “a hard look” at the idea but that Congress should still approve a military action.
“It’s important to note that this proposal comes in the context of the threat of U.S. action and the pressure that the president is exerting,” he said. “So it’s even more important that we don’t take the pressure off and that Congress give the president the authority he’s requested.”
Kerry said he was confident of the evidence that the United States and its allies had presented to support their case that Assad’s forces used poison gas, though he said he understood skepticism lingering from accusations against Saddam that led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and later proved to be false.
Kerry, a former lawyer, said he had successfully prosecuted people with less evidence and warned that doing nothing was worse than doing something, saying inaction would come back to haunt the United States and its allies: “If you want to send Iran and Hezbollah and Assad a congratulatory message: ‘You guys can do what you want,’ you’d say: ‘Don’t do anything.’
“We believe that is dangerous and we will face this down the road in some more significant way if we’re not prepared to take … a stand now,” Kerry said.
Obama planned six television interviews later on Monday and was to speak to lawmakers at the Capitol on Tuesday before a televised address from the White House in the evening.
The Senate will hold a test vote on Wednesday.
A survey by the newspaper USA Today on Monday found majorities of both houses remained uncommitted.
Tapping into concerns in the West about the role of Islamist militants in the rebel forces, Syrian Foreign Minister Moualem said: “We are asking ourselves how Obama can … support those who in their time blew up the World Trade Center in New York.”
Assad himself warned of reprisals – if he were attacked Americans could “expect every action”, he told CBS television.
Repercussions “may take different forms” and could include “instability and the spread of terrorism all over the region that will influence the West directly”.
Brent crude oil futures sank more than 2 percent on Monday, as the prospect of a wider war in the Middle East appeared to recede into the future: “This has thrown some sand into the wheels of military preparation in the U.S.,” said Michael Lynch of Strategic Energy & Economic Research.
“At the very least, it means the debate is going to be stalled while we wait and see if it works out.”
There is a chance now that a U.S.-led military strike could be “put on hold and possibly deterred altogether”.
Inside Syria, government forces launched an offensive to wrest back control of an historic Christian town north of Damascus on Monday, activists said. In the past six days, the town of Maaloula has already changed hands three times between Assad’s forces and rebels, some of whom are linked to al Qaeda.

Foreign Affairs › CHILD MARRIAGE: 8-year-old Bride Dies After Sex With 40-years-old Husband by luvola(op): 3:22pm On Sep 09, 2013
An eight year old bride identified as Rawan, died in the governorate of Hajjah in Hardh northwestern Yemen, from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.
Activists in the islamic region are fighting for the banning of forced child marriage and they have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family.
The issue of forced marriage of child brides is a socially accepted custom and is widespread in many rural areas in Yemen.
A February 2009 law set the age limit for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.
In particular, Abdulmajeed al-Zindani a prominent Islamic cleric, issued a fatwa in support of the practice, declaring supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates, and ultimately leading a successful campaign against legislation that would prevent adult men from marrying children.
Legislators have been looking at ways to curb the practice and they have so far been unsuccessful.
Currently the law states that parents should decide when a daughter marries. Unfortunately, reports analysis indicated that more than a quarter of Yemen’s females marry before age 15.

EXCLUSIVE: OBJ, IBB, Anenih prepare 5-point plan for Jonathan •Recommend review of mini convention; resolution of Adamawa, Rivers excos, NGF crises, among others

IT emerged on Saturday that the Elders Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which met with the warring factions of the party in Abuja on Friday has prepared a five-point action plan for the attention of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The committee, which was led by former President Olusegun Obasanjo and included former military leader, General Ibrahim Babangida, and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party, Chief Tony Anenih, had, on Saturday, wrapped up the five-point action plan, which it believes would aid President Jonathan in resolving the logjam in the party.

Sources reveal that the elders’ committee’s recommendation to the president included the reinstatement of the PDP Adamawa State chapter loyal to Governor Murtala Nyako, reinstatement of the executive committee of the Rivers State chapter of the PDP, which is loyal to Governor Rotimi Amaechi, as well as the re-absorption of Governor Rotimi Amaechi into the party, in line with the constitution of the party.

Sources also said that the elders committee also recommended that President Jonathan should intervene and bring an end to the crisis rocking the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) by calling a heart-to-heart meeting with the Plateau State governor, Jonah Jang, and his Rivers State counterpart, Amaechi, to agree on a resolution of the crisis.

Another recommendation of the elders committee, which is to be submitted to the president, is the suggestion that the 31 August mini convention should be reviewed to rectify any anomalies.

2015 not discussed at meeting –Source
Meanwhile, a source said that the issue of Jonathan’s ambition in 2015 was not raised by the aggrieved G7 governors, whose faction is now led by Alhaji Baraje.

It was confirmed that the elders mandated former President Obasanjo to get the recommendations forwarded to President Jonathan immediately.

Christine01: Introspective
Sensitive
Reflective
You come to grips more
frequently and thoroughly
with yourself and your
environment than do most
people. You detest
superficiality; you'd rather be
alone than have to suffer
through small talk. But your
relationships with your
friends are highly intensive,
which gives you the inner
tranquility and harmony that
you need in order to feel
good. However it is no
problem for you to be alone
for extended periods of time,
without becoming bored.


Wow!
we share the same behaviour and ideology.. Buzz me on facebook - ola aol. Waiting for your beep

Peaceful
Discreet
Non-Aggressive
You are easy-going yet discreet. You make
friends effortlessly, yet enjoy your privacy
and independence. You like to get away
from it all and be alone from time to time to
contemplate the meaning of life and enjoy
yourself. You need space, so you escape to
beautiful hideaways, but you are not a loner.
You are at peace with yourself and the
world, and you appreciate life and what this
world has to offer.
