FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN NIGERIA.
BY:Suleiman Ibrahim Temitope.
It will be so sad if Nigerians still
believe that youths are the leaders of
tomorrow. It's quite unfortunate that
ASUU has declared indefinite strike,
though it is not new again as strike
has become a normal festival which
must take place in state or federal
universities.
The last ASUU nationwide strike last
half of a year, now government has
not yet meet up with there
requirements since 2009. Yet, we are
still the leaders of tomorrow and in
the same country, someone will loot
billions of naira and go scot free, it
was a very sad morning while I was
listening to FM radio news that a man
was jail for stealing a bread worth
#250.
Nigeria education sector has been
battered by selfish government
officials and leaders, and that has
made lecturers contribute the most of
all. The colonial masters have
forgotten to colonise Nigerians with
good character and doings, imagine a
lecturer said he will spend five hours
lecturing, when it was three hours,
students began to complain, he
responded saying: "if you are tired,
you should leave the class. This is how
I was brought up". What a bad
manner. Also, some lecturers have
been using only a lecture note since
20 years ago, what is now the
upgrade in the educational system?
When students complain to a lecturer
that they didn't understand the
course he takes them, the lecturer
instructed them to assume. Assume
what you don't know? Very bad
indeed.
The worst of it is that we only do
10-20percent of our practicals, why?
Most of the practicals require power,
if no power to do practicals then how
do we get power to read for
examinations. It's unfortunate that
most of the equipment in the lab are
faulty, but where is the power to
operate the working ones?
Now in Nigeria, state government
now interfere in student union
government SUG. Ekiti state university
conduct a very peaceful free and fair
election early August but surprisingly
the results of the election is
inconclusive because government,
school authority and students have
different candidates. In short
everything in EKSU is inconclusive.
Kogi state university called off 6
month strike not up to a month,
despite the fact the academy activities
have not yet been stabilised, ASUU
declared indefinite strike. Are they to
go back home again? In the country
where students are leaders of
tomorrow.
Let alone LAUTECH strike. Are we still
confused that students are the
leaders of tomorrow.
If Nigeria education sector could
remain this way, then it is better to
cancel the sector, because presently it
seems Nigerian students go to school
and make friends, go to night club, go
to class if he could and then read and
pass examination because no one
expects you to understand.
A medicine best student was
awarded with #10,000 cheque, what
is really encouraging? How many
senators, governors can allow their
child to school in EKSU, KSU or
LAUTECH? Well, we should all try to
add value to ourselves, don't wait for
those that tell you that you are the
leader of tomorrow, they are the
beast that will put their child in the
same position where they cajole you
that is meant for you during election.

In these countries, people live substantially longer than the worldwide average – and each place has its own secret source of vitality.Explorers throughout history have searched for the legendary fountain of youth. And while the elusive fountain has yet to be found, certain places across the world have emerged as centres where people live substantially longer than the worldwide average (around 71 years), and each has its own secret source of vitality. We talked to residents in some of the countries where people live the longest, as ranked by the 2017 World Happiness Report, to uncover the reasons why these places seem to nurture longevity.Japan Living to 83 on average, the Japanese have long had one of the highest life expectancies. Okinawa, often called ‘the land of immortals’, has been a global centre for longevity research, as these southern Japanese islands have more than 400 centenarians. Much credit for this has been given to the local diet, which includes plentiful tofu and sweet potato, and a small amount of fish. Active social circles among older residents and a strong community also contribute to lower levels of stress and a strong sense of belonging. Okinawa, often called ‘the land of immortals’, has been a global centre for longevity research To reap these benefits, learning the language as an expat is critical, said Daniele Gatti, CEO of Velvet Media and long-time Japan resident. “Japan has an amazing quality of life if you can get past the language hurdle to better understand the mentality” – which is more different from Western culture than most visitors think, he added. “Expats willing to move here should think seriously about putting a major time allocation into learning the language. It’s key to integrating deeper in the local society and living a full and meaningful life.” Spain The Mediterranean diet, rich in heart- healthy olive oil, vegetables and wine, has long contributed to Spain’s long-lived population (averaging 82.. But Spain has another longevity secret up its sleeve: the siesta. Spain has another longevity secret up its sleeve: the siesta “People think all the Spaniards are doing la siesta when the shops are closed between 2:00 and 5:00, but it is simply how the working shift is organised,” said Miquel Àngel Diez i Besora from Barcelona and Gray Line tour guide. “If you have a continuous shift and just a half an hour break for lunch, then you eat a quick takeaway. On the contrary, if you are forced to stop for two or three hours, then you go home or go to a restaurant where you can sit down, eat two courses and dessert, and have time enough to digest well, it’s going to be healthier than a takeaway.” The density of Spanish cities also gets people moving more, since shops and restaurants all tend to be within walking distance of most people’s residences. “When I moved to Barcelona from Moscow, I noticed that people here favour walking or biking, even walking few blocks to take public transport instead of using their own vehicles,” said Marina Manasyan, co- founder of Barcelona Eat Local Food Tours. “You get your cells oxygenated and you reduce your carbon footprint.” Singapore With broad access to the country’s state-of- the-art medical facilities and what’s been called a ‘miracle’ healthcare system, Singaporeans are living longer than ever at an average of 83.1 years old. The country has one of the lowest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world, and makes preventative care a focus of its healthcare. With broad access to a ‘miracle’ healthcare system, Singaporeans are living longer than ever The culture and accessible urban environment also contributes to a longer life. “You will see a lot of people going to gyms or exercising in the public parks, which are plentiful,” said Bino Chua, a current resident and travel blogger at I Wander. The country even recently opened its first therapeutic park, designed to reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing among aging adults. Health-averse habits are also harder to maintain in Singapore. “Expats should know that ‘vices’ are a lot more expensive here,” said Chau. “Cigarettes and alcohol are heavily taxed and cost a lot more than in other countries.” Switzerland Men fare better in Switzerland than anywhere else in the world, living to be 81 on average. As one of Europe’s wealthiest countries, access to high-quality healthcare, strong personal safety and sense of wellbeing contributes to the high rank – with some studies even pointing to the country’s high intake of cheese and dairy as a leading factor. Men fare better in Switzerland than anywhere else in the world Though the country can be very career focused with many expats moving for work at one of the country’s many international headquarters, its central location makes it easy to balance frequent relaxing escapes. “It’s a career pinnacle, location-wise,” said Gatti, who has also lived in Switzerland. “Living here allows for wonderful weekend trips all over the continent and to spend time outdoors in the enchanting Alps.” The private schools are also some of the “best on the planet,” she added, which makes it appealing to young families. South Korea South Korea is set to be the first country to hit a life expectancy of 90 years according to recent research, which credits a strong and growing economy, broad access to healthcare and lower blood pressure than Western countries for its upward trajectory. The country also has a diet rich in fermented foods, which are said to lower cholesterol, boost immunity and inhibit cancer. “As a whole, Korean food is high in fibre and nutrient-dense,” Hoheb said. South Korea is set to be the first country to hit a life expectancy of 90 years Residents say a cultural focus on community and the associated traditions contributes to the everyday quality of life here. “The Jimjilbang (public bathhouse) brings together people to recreate, to socialise and to help reduce stress,” said Camille Hoheb, founder of Wellness Tourism Worldwide. “In South Korea, there’s also an overall sense of mindfulness that comes with the Buddhist mindset and an overall attitude toward a culture of cooperation versus individualism.”

BiafraBushBoy:
trash

When propaganda pops up, be sure to know it is one.

Fayemi just like the asshole named Ajimobi in Ibadan are just two sides of the same coin.

in their first tenure, they acted like saints and was trying to impress. They continued owing salaries and claimed that infrastructure was of more priority.

Oyo guys were fools to reelect the asshole named Ajimobi, but Ekiti people were wise to see behind the deception of Fayemi.

was is the end result?

In Ibadan, people are dying of starvation, salaries are being owed , no money to even enjoy the fine roads, hunger everywhere.

in Ekiti after they booted out the Fayemi asshole, No wonderful infrastructure, but people are not hungry and starving.

Op, which state would you prefer as a state civil servant?

In Nigeria you can't have a perfect state ThT flows with milk and honey!!

Sacrifices must be made!!!

Pls study the above scriptures frm New Living Translation for better understanding.

bro d problem i have with dis tithe issue is d fact dat most of dis churches neglected some part of d bible even wen they are both in new and old testament. For example in deu 22:5 talking abt dressing, in NT paul talk abt it in 1 Timothy 2:9-10. What we have today is pastors making reference abt tithe n tagging others rules dat exist in both New and old testament obsolete

peeps4u:
Do you also know what tithers also go through?
I also stated that tithers fall sick just like non-tithers, tithers die in accident just like non-tithers. People experience tragedies, whether they are tithers or not. There are tithers who were poor and still died at young age but here we have non-tithers Dangote, Bill gates and the rest who are rich and still alive.
So what are the special blessings tithers enjoy above non-tithers?

who told u rich men don't pay tithe

- Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state
expresses the confidence that he will
emerge victorious in the coming Ekit
gubernatorial election
- The governor says any candidate fielded
by the APC in the poll will be no match for
the PDP
- Fayose calls on the opposition to
remember that it was the APC-led
administration of 2010 to 2014 that
plunged the state into financial crisis
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has
boasted that the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) will score a record breaking victory
against the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and its candidate in the 2018 governorship
election in the state to set electoral records.
Fayose in a statement by his chief press
secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on
Saturday, July 21, expressed the confidence
that he will emerge victorious in the coming
poll, Vanguard reports.
The governor reacting to comments made
by Segyn Oni while declaring his intention
to contest the poll that Fayose and the PDP
were common enemies, said any candidate
fielded by the APC in the poll will be no
match for the PDP.
He said: “Defeating the APC in governorship
elections is not new to me and my party. We
defeated them in 2003 and recorded a
landslide victory against them in 2014
when their candidate could not even win
his local government. The 2014 victory was
very remarkable because Oni was part of a
gang up of three former governors against
me and my party and we won convincingly.
“Oni tried unsuccessfully to rubbish my
administration’s giant strides in the state
during my first tenure and the current one.
It was during my first term that we dualised
all the roads leading to Ado-Ekiti, the state
capital. We repositioned education and
improved on the state’s performance in
public examinations. We are number one in
NECO and among the top in WAEC
examinations.
“Now, we are not only dualising roads
across 11 local government areas, we have
extended the Ado-Ikere Road dualisation
deep into Ikere town. Because the APC and
its leaders in Ekiti lack foresight, they can
never ever see anything good in the flyover,
new Ojaba Market, new high court complex,
new Governor’s Office and other numerous
projects we are executing.
“They are simply dumbfounded that in spite
of the austere times we are in, our
administration has been able to forge
ahead with these projects. It is only a
leadership that is focused and know its
onions that can place the welfare of
majority of people over and above the
welfare of minority."
Fayose called on the opposition to
remember that it was the APC-led
administration of 2010 to 2014 that
plunged the state into financial crisis when
it failed to offset workers’ entitlements and
borrowed to finance projects it never
executed.
Meanwhile, Governor Ayo Fayose has called
on Nigerians to reject the All Progressives
Congress, (APC) committee on restructuring.
NAIJ.com gathered that Fayose in a
statement Thursday night by his Chief Press
Secretary, Idowu Adelusi said: “It is dead on
arrival and a ruse. It is a blatant attempt to
draw the wool over the eyes of Nigerians.”
Fayose, who also serves as the chairman of
the PDP Governors’ Forum, said the
committee was unnecessary since
Nigerians have overwhelming voted for
immediate restructuring of the polity.https://www.naij.com/1116439-ekiti-2018-apc-defeated-fayose-boasts.html

- The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
says it is gladdening that NERDC has
reinstated the CRK and IRK in the nation’s
schools’ curriculum as separate subjects
- The president of CAN, Samson Ayokunle,
calls on the federal ministry of education
to review all the textbooks that are
currently being used in schools
- The CAN president urges state
governments to recruit teachers for both
the CRK and IRK especially in the north
where most of the states had no teachers
for the subjects
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
has drawn the attention of the federal
government to what it described as ungodly
practices in some text books.CAN made the observation when it lauded
the federal government’s intervention in
reinstating the Christian Religious
Knowledge and the Islamic Religious
Knowledge in the nation’s schools’
curriculum as separate subjects.The president of CAN, Samson Ayokunle,
commended the government’s directive to
the Nigerian Educational Research and
Development Council (NERDC) to restore the
subjects which was merged and put under
Civic Education. the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports.
The CAN president said in a statement in
Abuja on Saturday, July 22, that it was
gladdening that NERDC had reinstated the
subjects.
Ayokunle however, called on the federal
ministry of education to review all the
textbooks that are currently being used in
schools, adding that some of them
encourage ungodly practices like stimulating
the reproductive organs to achieve arousal.He said: "We appreciate all well-meaning
Nigerians, the media and the civil society for
their roles while the controversy lasted.
“We pray for divine guidance and wisdom
for our political leaders as they lead the
country."Mr. Ayokunle noted that the merger of the
two subjects had been rejected long before
the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration took power, adding: “It is
controversial, unlawful and ungodly.
According to the cleric, the reversal is an
indication that there is a listening and
sensitive government that is ready to
reverse unacceptable policies.
He also commended the timely intervention
of the National Assembly that helped to
doused the tension that was generated by
the policy.Ayokunle called on the government to direct
NERDC to organise a national seminar on the
new curriculum with a view to addressing
all the “grey”areas.
He urged state governments to recruit
teachers for both the CRK and IRK especially
in the North where most of the states had
no teachers for the subjects.
NAIJ.com recalls that the federal government
on Thursday July 20 bowed to pressure and
directed the Nigerian Educational Research
and Development Council (NERDC) to
separate the Christian Religious Knowledge
and Islamic Religious Knowledge subjects in
the basic education curriculum.
NAN reports that grouping of IRK and CRK
under the Civil Education in the new
curriculum by the NERDC had generated
controversy in the last few months with
religious leaders calling for their separate
teaching.

Activist lawyer, Femi Falana, has advised the
Presidency to approach the Supreme Court
over the refusal of the senate to approve
the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as the
Acting Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Falana maintained that the senate had no
right to sack Magu since it had no power to
hire him.
In a statement he jointly signed with some
activists including Prof. Jibrin Ibrahim, Lanre
Suraj, Anwal Rafsanjani and Ezenwa
Nwagwu, Falana also urged the Presidency
to approach the Supreme Court for the
interpretation of the 1999 Constitution
regarding the confirmation of non-
ambassadorial and non-ministerial
nominees.
The statement reads in part, “While the
dispute over the budget had yet to be
resolved, the Senate passed two
controversial resolutions. The first
resolution directed the Acting President to
remove the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr.
Ibrahim Magu, from office.
“In a bid to ensure that the resolution was
implemented, the Senate decided to put on
hold any appointment which requires the
confirmation of the Senate. Without
mincing words, the Presidency has rejected
the call for the removal of Magu.
“The executive is advised to seek judicial
resolution of the stalemate over the
confirmation of Magu’s appointment as the
substantive chairman.
“Meanwhile, we assert that the Senate
cannot annul his (Magu) acting
appointment since his appointment was
without the consultation with or
confirmation of the Senate.” dailypost.ng/2017/07/17/falana-tells-presidency-senates-refusal-confirm-magu-efcc-boss/?utm_source=dlvr.it_dp1&utm_medium=facebook

In this retro series, Naij.com bring to you
the story of Emmanuel Nwude who
committed the largest fraud in the
country by selling a non-existent airport
to a Brazilian for $242 million between
1995 and 1998.
The rise of internet fraud commonly known
as 419 is one phenomenon Nigeria has
come to be associated it. Before internet
fraud became a global issue, Nwude had
committed one of the biggest scams in the
world. Specifically, his fraud was the third
largest banking scam in the world after the
Nick Leeson's trading losses at Barings
Bank, and the looting of the Iraqi Central
Bank by Qusay Hussein.
How was Nwude able to carry out this jaw-
dropping scam and convince Nelson
Sakaguchi who was the director of the
bank to part with so much money for the
purchase of an airport?
Nwude was a former director of Union
Bank of Nigeria and this position made him
privy to some links, information and
documents that other persons would not
be aware of. He impersonated the then
governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Paul Ogwuma, and connected with
Sakaguchi informing him of a mouth-
watering deal of Nigeria’s plan to build an
airport in Abuja.Nwude, pretending to be the Central Bank
of Nigeria governor, told Sakaguchi that he
stood of chance of pocketing $10 million
commission when the deal passed through.
Sakaguchi paid $191 million in cash and the
remainder in the form of outstanding
interest.
Nwude’s accomplices were Emmanuel
Ofolue, Nzeribe Okoli, and Obum Osakwe,
along with the husband and wife duo,
Christian Ikechukwu Anajemba and Amaka
Anajemba, with Christian later being
assassinated.
The criminal gang was able to convince the
director of the Brazilian bank to part with
the money.
How did Sakaguchi find out he was a
victim of one of the largest scam in the
world?
In 1997, the Spanish Banco Santander
wanted to take over the Banco Noroeste
and a joint board meeting was held in
December of that year. Officials of the
Spanish bank noted that half of the
Brazilian bank’s capital was at Cayman
Islands unmonitored. This raised questions
as this was two-fifths of Noroeste's total
value.
Investigation began and was carried out in
Brazil, Britain, Nigeria, Switzerland, and the
United States. Although the sale of the Bank
still went on as the owners of the bank paid
$242 million bill, the nak still collapsed in
2001.
The birth of the EFCC
In 2002, the then president, Olusegun
Obasanjo saw to the establishment of an
anti-graft agency, the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Nwude’s fraud case one of the first to be
investigated and in 2004, all members of
the gang were arraigned before an Abuja
High Court on 86 counts of "fraudulently
seeking advance fees" and 15 counts of
bribery related to the case . Although they
pleaded not guilty, they were warned not to
attempt to bribe court officials as it was
suspected that money was going round.
Nwude has become Nigeria's fraud kingpin
after pulling off one of the biggest 'deals' in
history
In 2005, Amaka confessed to helping
Anajemba and was asked to repay $25.5
million and also sentenced to two and a half
years in prison.
Nwude attempted to bribe Nuhu Ribadu,
the then chairman of the EFCC, with $75,000
cash but the latter refused and Nwude was
charged with attempted bribery as well as
attempt to kidnap a prosecuting witness.
Following Sakaguchi's witness, Nwude
finally pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
five concurrent sentences of five years and
was also asked to pay $10 million fine to
the federal government.He was released from prison in 2006 and
filed a case to reclaim his assets insisting
some of them were acquired before the
criminal act. He has so far been able to
reclaim $167 million.
Aftermath
A land dispute in the town of Ukpo in the
Dunukofia area with Abagana community
turned bloody when over 200 men invaded
the community killing four policemen and
the security guard at the construction site
in 2016. The Anambra state government
fingered Nwude as the ringleader and he
was subsequently arrested and arraigned
on 27 charges including murder and
terrorism. He is being held at Awka prison
as the court case is still on.
While Nwude’s criminal exploit was not the
first in the country, it signified the rise in
international financial crime and popularise
the advanced fee fraud syndrome with
Nigeria's name associated with it. https://www.naij.com/1100779-the-story-emmanuel-nwude-carried-biggest-scam-nigeria.html

- Ogungbeje says Evans is being kept
unnecessarily because the police does not
have evidence to charge him
- An unnamed family member says there
are worries among Evans' people that he
may have been allegedly killed by the
police
- He says there were reports that Evans
was imprisoned in an underground cell
Olukoya Ogungbeje, lawyer to notorious
kidnapper Evans, has revealed that the
Nigeria Police Force is yet to charge the
suspect to court because it had no evidence
against him.
Ogungbeje told The Sun that the police is
holding his client unnecessarily since his
arrest on June 10 and trying to brainwash
him.
He said: “We are not saying that we want to
ensure that our client escapes justice at all
costs. What we are saying is that we were
given letter of representation and properly
briefed and we have the claim to represent
him within the confines of the law.

that matter? He has been moved to Abuja.

you think that we will be able to access him
in Abuja? The police keep on brainwashing
him, they keep on threatening him, they

that is what the law says. The police are
only playing the ostrich.
“Do you know as his lawyer, I have been
denied access to him, do you know that the
father, his mother, his wife and children
have been denied access to him? The police
are not telling the truth. Why have they not
published the court order they claimed to
have got? Let them name the judge.

police have been mischievous. There is
more to it than meet the eye. The matter is
in court and we should allow the court to
handle the case and wait for the outcome
of the matter.”

There is also worry that Evans may have
been killed by the police since nobody has
access to him.
A south-east based member of Evan’s
family, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said:
“We are scared something terrible may
have happened to him because of the way
police has handled this matter so far
especially the way his movement from
Lagos was shrouded in secrecy. How would
we have known if not your paper (Saturday
Sun) which exposed the move in your
report last weekend?
“From our own investigation, we learnt he
was first dumped in an underground cell at
the force headquarters in Abuja. Though
we have also heard that he has been moved
to a secret location believed to be the FCID
cell in Garki area of Abuja, we are yet to
confirm that or his exact location and
wellbeing as we speak?” https://www.naij.com/1115164-evans-lawyer-police-charge-lack-evidence.html

- NAIJ.com in this report gives reasons why
acting president Osinbajo may have visited
the president in London
- This will be the first time acting president
Osinbajo will be visiting President Buhari
since he has been going on medical
vacation
NAIJ.com had earlier reported that acting
president Yemi Osinbajo is currently
meeting with President Muhammadu
Buhari in London .
NAIJ.com had also reported that while the
purpose of the meeting and issues being
discussed have not been made public, there
is speculation in has to do with the
development of the country.
READ ALSO: Abdulsalami Abubakar reveals
those sponsoring hate speech in the
country
Consequently, NAIJ.COM has compiled some
of the reasons that may have prompted the
acting president to make the London trip
after the first lady came back from similar
trip.
1. Visiting the president after news of
improved condition
The acting president Osinbajo may have
gone to visit the president after the first
lady Aisha Buhari brought back news of the
president's improved condition. This will
also be the first time Osinbajo visited
President Buhari during the latter's first and
second medical travel to the UK. This is also
an opportunity to check on the president's
health.
2. The face-off between the Senate and
Presidency
The acting president may have also traveled
abroad to meet the president to intimate
him of the growing disconnect between
executives and legislative arm of
government . Emphasis will be placed on the
Magu issue amidst other point of
contention.
3. The issue of Aso Rock cabal
PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s
#1 new app
Acting president Osinbajo might have also
gone to report the Aso Rock cabals to the
president. Some highly placed individuals
identified as Aso Rock cabals have been
allegedly working to undermine the
influence of the acting president and
subsequently undermining the smooth
running of governance in the process.
4. General situation of things in Nigeria
Another likely reason why the acting
president may have gone to visit President
Buhari is to inform him of the general
situation of the country. Osinbajo will likely
tell him about the economic situation and
the ongoing social intervention scheme.
5. 2017 budget
The acting president in his visit may likely
speak to President Buahuri on the
implementation of the 2017 budget which
was passed in his absence.
6. Biafra agitation
The acting president may have also gone to
intimate the president about the state of
things in the agitation for Biafra embarked
by some people in the south eastern part of
the country.
7. Restructuring of Nigeria
Like Biafra, the agitation for the country's
restructuring is gaining momentum as
many Nigerians are now openly calling for
restructuring of the country. Acting
president Osinbajo may have also gone to
inform the president on the development.
8. Boko Haram/ Fulani herdsmen
The acting president may have also gone to
inform the president on the current state of
things as regards the fight against
insurgency in the north-east part of the
country and also the Fulani herdsmen
trouble ravaging some part of the country.
NAIJ.com had earlier reported that acting
president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is
currently meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari in London .
According to an official information
provided by the Aso Rock Villa, the acting
president was in UK on Tuesday, July 11,
and will be returning back to Abuja same
day. https://www.naij.com/1114480-8-reasons-osinbajo-visited-president-buhari-uk-list.html

Deputy Senate President, DSP, Ike Ekweremadu, has expressed pity for the people of Kogi state following the on-going recall process of the Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye. The DSP spoke on the floor of the senate on Tuesday while reacting to an advertorial on a National daily in which the Attorney General of the state, Ibrahim Muhammad, called him out over a comment he made on the floor of the senate regarding Dino’s recall. Recall that Ekweremadu had last week told his fellow lawmakers that process to recall Dino was dead on arrival, adding that the senate would have to certify the recall process carried out by INEC before he can be sacked. Muhammad wrote, “I must put on record that legal opinion of senator Ekweremadu on the role of the senate in the recall process; the senate has no role whatsoever in the recall exercise than to receive the certificate under the hand of the chairman of INEC stating that the provision of section 69 of the constitution has been complied with, see 68h of the 1999 constitution as amended.” However, in reaction to this, Ekweremadu said the Attorney general did not mention section 68 (2) of the constitution where it said the senate would still deliberate on whether Melaye should be recalled or not. How my Husband cured his premature ejaculation permanently and increased his manhood size in 2weeks. Click Here! He added that he had pity for the people of Kogi state for appointing such an individual as their Attorney General. Ekweremadu said, “This morning my attention was drawn to a three-page advertorial, pages 20, 21 and 22 of the Leadership Newspaper by Ibrahim Muhammmad, attorney-general of Kogi, who was responding to my contribution on the floor of the senate when Senator Dino Melaye informed this senate of the efforts of the people of his constituency to recall him. “I want to advise the people of Kogi state and indeed his constituents to apply their time to more useful venture in view of the very difficult conditions of recall of parliamentarians and in reference to the attorney-general, I did say that my learned friend may not have advised the people or indeed the government appropriately. 700+ Live Jobs - Find Latest Jobs in Nigeria - Click Here Now! “So, this morning, Kogi state government took an advertorial to respond to me and I understand that every page costs about N700,000. For this alone, they spent about N2 million and I understand that it is an about five other papers so we are looking at about N12 million spent to responding to my comment. “I pity the people of Kogi state that hired this kind of attorney-general and this is unfortunate that they are paying a public servant and he is unable to do a simple work looking at the constitution. “We must emphasise that 68 (2) is not part of the amendment since 1999. This has been the original provision of the constitution. It has nothing to do with Dino or whoever. It has been there since 1999 for him not to know about it – I don’t know where he went to law school anyway. “If he has been properly educated, I believe he should have been conversant with the basic provisions of the constitution. I’m even his senior at the bar, he ought to show some respect because that is what we were taught at the law school, to respect our senior. “But for the avoidance of doubt, I want to believe I have better credentials in the legal profession and my interest was constitutional law, I have a doctorate degree in law and my area is constitutional law. I have been chairman of the constitutional review committee in this national assembly since 2010. “I expect the attorney-general instead of displaying his ignorance to call and I educate him on the correct position of the law. So, I take exception to this and I believe that he needs to refund the amount spent on this to the people of Kogi. I call on the house of assembly to institute an inquiry on who paid for this and find a way of receiving the money back to pay salaries of Kogi state.” dailypost.ng/2017/07/11/melayes-recall-pity-kogi-people-ekweremadu/
