It is 50 years since Nigeria's brutal civil war calling for the secession of Biafra started. By the time it ended in 1970 over one million people had perished. Now a new movement has emerged calling for independence. The BBC's Tomi Oladipo explores its popularity. Hidden high in the luscious, green hills of Enugu in south-east Nigeria, down a beaten track - under a sign that says leprosy colony - is the Biafran war veterans' camp. Like its location, residents there are verging on obscurity. Four old men sitting on parallel wooden benches, propped up on metal crutches - swaying and chanting along to an old battle song. They fought and were crippled in the bloody Biafran war. "We went to that war with nothing, we went empty-handed," says Francis Njoku. "Some held machetes, some had sticks. They [Nigerian forces] had machine guns." Mr Njoku, now 69, lost his kneecap in a gun battle. It was a desperate fight for survival. But it ended in a ceasefire and Biafra became part of Nigeria again. At the end of the war, the Nigerian head of state General Yakubu Gowon declared there was "no victor, no vanquished" - this became the motto of reunification. But for many people in the south-east, the reunion has been an uneasy one. "If you come to Igbo-land you can see there is no development here," says Mr Njoku. It's a common perception we heard many times here - that Igbo people are marginalised in a Nigeria that only serves the interests of the two other main ethnic groups - the Hausa and Yoruba. Although government statistics show that poverty rates are far higher in the north than other regions, there are some genuine complaints. In almost 30 years of democracy, Nigeria hasn't had an Igbo president. "We still need [Biafra]," says Mr Njoku. "Nigerians are maltreating us - like slaves." It's a strong sentiment and one that a new crop of activists is playing on. Among them a new leader has emerged. Despite bail conditions saying he cannot speak to the press, Nnamdi Kanu invited us for an interview. He also invited his many supporters to greet us. We were to meet in his father's compound in the south-eastern town of Umuahia - the last bastion of the Biafran state before its surrender. As we approached Umuahia it was clear that the crowds were there for our benefit. We had arranged the interview the afternoon before and in that time he had gathered up to 1,000 people - they surrounded his father's compound waving huge striped flags, carrying the Biafran symbol of a half-rising sun, and foghorns - chanting their support under the pouring rain. Senior government and police officials live a few hundred metres away but no attention was paid to their presence. The cheers escalated to roars as they spotted Mr Kanu emerge onto the balcony of the house with his fists raised. He has gold and black cloth wrapped around his shoulders and a matching gold cap on his black suede designer loafers. "They're calling for Biafra," he says softly, with a smile. All of this for a cause that has him facing treason-related charges in court. "Basic human development, basic economic development, basic social development, can no longer be attained for the simple reason that there exists in the polity mutual suspicion, mutual hatred, mutual resentment," he says. "So the best thing to do is to separate." Biafra at a glance: First republic of Biafra was declared by Nigerian military officer Odumegwu-Ojukwu in 1967 He led his mainly ethnic Igbo forces into a deadly three-year civil war that ended in 1970 More than one million people lost their lives, mostly because of hunger Decades after Biafra uprising was quelled by the military, secessionist groups have attracted the support of many young people They feel Nigeria's central government is not investing in the region But the government says their complaints are not particular to the south-east Mr Kanu is calling for Biafran independence through a referendum. "We just want to control our political destiny so we can build factories, [build] our roads, cities, bridges, not having to depend on somebody in [the capital city] Abuja." The Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) movement that he leads believes an independent region will resolve the issue of the marginalization of the Igbos but they also want to bring the non-Igbo, oil-rich Niger Delta into the breakaway state. They insist it was part of the original Biafra. "Should any other part of Nigeria wish to join Biafra they are welcome to do so, as long as they are Judeo-Christian... the value system that underpins Biafra." The movement for Biafra clearly has significant influence around the south-east of Nigeria. A recent stay-at-home protest ordered by Ipob was heeded in many towns. However it seems from many people we spoke to in the region that while they support the idea of Biafra, they are not clear as to where it may take them. The generation that witnessed the war insists on pacifism, as the men at the veterans' camp told us. "We are talking about dialogue, not by fighting," said Mr Njoku. Some are profoundly afraid of where the current rhetoric could lead. Reverend Moses Iloh is an Igbo but he grew up in the north and now lives in the south-western commercial hub of Lagos. When the war broke out, he moved to the Biafran Republic to work with the Red Cross. "The war was one of the crudest you can find," he recalls. "Sometimes there would be more than 50 or 100 children - you would dig a big trench and pour their dead bodies in. I was there. I am not telling you a lie. The suffering was so bad." Like many Igbos, he supports their ethnic solidarity but sternly warns that any attempts to secede again would be catastrophic. "Nigerians will not let them go, they will slaughter them - and the whole world will turn their heads and say it's an internal affair." In response to the recent pro-Biafra agitation, a group in northern Nigeria issued a threat, giving all Igbos in the region three months to leave. The move received widespread condemnation, even in the north, but reflected the delicate nature of Nigeria, a country created when hundreds of different ethnic groups were brought together by the British colonial powers. While the Igbos comprise one of the three largest ethnic groups, they have fewer states than the Hausas in the north and the Yorubas in the south-west, and subsequently get a smaller budget allocation. This, some feel, puts them behind the other regions. The south-east has not been at the forefront of Nigeria's development and none of its cities are major economic hubs. culled from the BBC AFRICA NEWS http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-40506251

By MARK ITSIBOR, Abuja The two chambers of the National Assembly have perfected plans to strip the executive arm of government of the power to prosecute persons suspected to have committed any offence against the Nigerian state In the ongoing constitution amendment, the National Assembly is putting finishing touches on a legislation which aims at separating the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and those of the states from the office of the minister of or commissioner for justice. The 8th Assembly has also approved a Bill for an Act seeking to make the office of the Auditor-General of the Federation and those of the states financially independent by placing them on the consolidated revenue of the federation and of the state. The Bill provides for new sections ‘84A – 84E’ in section 84, which stipulates that “there shall be an Accountant-General of the Federation” and “there shall be an Accountant-General of the Federal Government”, respectively. These amendments are part of the 23 item resolution approved by the House of Representatives Special Ad-hoc Committee on constitutional review, headed by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yussuff Sulaimon Lasun. LEADERSHIP gathered that the 23 items were also ratified by the constitutional review committee of the Senate, headed by the deputy Senate president, Ike Ekwerenmadu. The Bill seeking to establish the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and of the states separately from the office of the Minister of or commissioner for justice is aimed at making the office of the Attorneys-General independent and insulated from partisanship. According to the Bill, the Attorney-General of the Federation shall not be a member of any political party and shall hold office for a single term of seven years and no more until he attains the age of sixty-five years, whichever is earlier It also seeks to redefine the role of the Attorney-General and provide a fixed tenure, increase the age and qualification for appointment as well as provide for more independent process for the appointment of the Attorney-General. The Bill seeks to amend sections 150 and 174 of the 1999 constitution (as amended). Section 150 (1) stipulates that “there shall be an Attorney General of the Federation who shall be the Chief Law Officer and a Minister of the Government of the Federation”. In the proposed amendment, the section provides that “there shall be a Minister of Justice who shall be a Minister and Chief Law Officer of the Government of the Federation”. While a new insertion is being proposed to section 174 (A) which provides that “there shall be an Attorney-General of the Federation who shall be appointed by the President subject to confirmation by the Senate”. The amendment further proposes that a person shall not be qualified to hold or perform the functions of the office of the Attorney General of the Federation unless he is qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for not less than ten years. But in the case of the Minister, “a person shall not be qualified to hold or perform the functions of the office of Minister of Justice of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for not less than fifteen years”. In the case of Attorneys-General of states, the bill seeks to amend sections 195 and 211 of the constitution. Section 195 stipulates that “there shall be an Attorney-General for each State who shall be the Chief law Officer and Commissioner for Justice of the Government of that State”. But in the proposed amendment, the section provides that “here shall be a Commissioner for Justice of the Government of a State”, while a new insertion to section 211 provides that “there shall be an Attorney-General of a State who shall be appointed by the Governor subject to confirmation by the State House of Assembly”. According to the Bill, the Attorney- General of a state shall not be a member of any political party and shall hold office for a single term of six years and no more until he attains the age of sixty-five years, whichever is earlier. Meanwhile, the Bill which proposes to guarantee independence for the office of the Auditor-General for the Federation and for the State seeks to amend Section 6 of the First Alteration No.1, 2011 by inserting in subsection (3) a new paragraph “(d)” “(d) office of the Auditor-General for the Federation. The Bill also seeks to alter Section 121 of the Principal Act by substituting for subsection (3), with a new subsection “(3)” thus: “Any amount standing to the credit of the- Auditor-General for the State, and Judiciary, in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State shall be paid directly to the said bodies respectively, in the case of judiciary, such amount shall be paid directly to the heads of the courts concerned. http://leadership.ng/2017/06/20/nass-moves-strip-executive-power-prosecute/ |

Dear Yemisi, I am 19 years old. I am yet to start menstruation. Please, what can I do? Worried Girl, 0*05***4***. Dear Worried Girl, Your fears are understandable and genuine. I want to believe from your terse message that you have never menstruated before. What you are experiencing in the medical parlance is referred to as primary amenorrhea which means no menses at all. It is believed that ideally that a girl should start her period at 13 while if after 16, the period refuses to show up means there is a problem somewhere which should be tackled headlong. I would not know if you have made any attempt to get to the root of the delay, but findings established some of the causes of the delay to include appearance of breast before you clocked 13, birth defects of your reproductive system, lack of an opening in the membrane at the entrance of the vagina (hymen). Your predicament can only be addressed by an expert in reproductive health. If you had developed breast and grown pubic hair by age 14, then the delay is normal. It is also possible that you are experiencing delayed puberty that might been caused by some genetic factor that delays physical development, like failure of ovarian development. Eating disorders have equally been found to be a common cause of amenorrhea in adolescent girls like you while extreme weight loss and reduced fat that lead to hormonal changes could have been responsible for the delay. These changes produce a reduction in reproductive hormones. Whatever might have been the cause of the delay can only be detected by submitting yourself for proper test in a teaching hospital. It is not an issue that you must keep silent about. All I have stated above are just layman’s explanation as I want to believe that your mother is aware of your lot, if not, please, do the needful immediately so that she can give you the support you need in carrying out the necessary tests. Don’t keep sealed lips and don’t be fooled by any suggestion that cannot stand the test of time. You will get over this. It is nothing to worry about. It is well with you. plus what's your advice for girls in similar situation... http://tribuneonlineng.com/im-yet-menstruate/amp/ |
[quote]The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that it was not prosecuting the President of the Senate Bukola Saraki in the recently concluded false declaration of assets case. In a series of tweets on its Twitter handle @officialEFCC, the anti-corruption agency made it clear to Nigerians that it was not the prosecutor at the Code of Conduct Tribunal trial. The EFCC also disowned counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, saying that he is an independent anti-corruption lawyer to the state and could be counsel to any organisation. During the two-year-trial of Saraki, Rotimi Jacobs was always referred to as counsel for the EFCC, but the EFCC clarifies that he is not attached to the commission.[/QUOTE]
