Because their country's interests are at stake

Thursday, July 17, 2008

NIGERIANS in the United Kingdom (UK) under the umbrella of the Liberty Forum yesterday put the Niger Delta, energy, and the food crises in the country on the front-burner as President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua arrived in London.

In a set of demands prepared by the group to be presented to Yar'Adua and his host, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, during the Nigerian leader's visit, the citizens said: "We need peace not war! We need not another Darfur in Nigeria."

At 8.00 p.m. on Tuesday, Yar'Adua, arrived in the country in company of three state governors, Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Timipre Sylvia (Bayelsa) and Mohammed Namadi Sambo (Kaduna).

His first official engagement was a courtesy visit to the Queen at Buckinghma Palace at 3 p.m. The President's team included his wife, Turai, the Nigerian High Commissioner to Britain, Dr. Dalhatu Sarki Tafida and Chief of State Protocol, Ambassador M. Ghali Umar.

After meeting with the British monarch, Yar'Adua headed for No 10, Downing Street. Earlier yesterday afternoon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Ojo Maduekwe led a seven-man delegation that included the Attorney-General of the Federation, Michael Aondoakaa, to meet Britain's Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, David Wright Miliband (MP), at 1, Carlton Gardens.

During an interactive session with Nigerian women professionals at yesterday's breakfast meeting at the Renaissance Hotel on High Holborn Street, Turai said that she would seek the support of the Nigerian Senate to promulgate a law that would stipulate sanctions for those who violate the rights of women and children.

After delivering a five-minute speech on her pet project, Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF), Mrs. Yar'Adua told the attendees: "I used to visit prisons and fight for the rights of those women wrongly imprisoned while I was a governor's wife," adding that she would take her campaign to the rural areas to bring HIV/AIDS awareness to women living at the grassroots.

But the Liberty Forum, a coalition of Nigerian groups at home and in London urged Brown, Britons, and "the children of great men and women that make Europe what it is today: a land of freedom and opportunities to prevail on Yar'Adua, whose election was roundly condemned by the European Union (EU) because of the fraud associated with it to stop fooling the government of Britain on the real situation in the Niger Delta, Nigeria's oil hub, which he has militarised in the campaign against militant freedom fighters who largely represent the indigenous communities in the region."

In a statement, the convener of the coalition in UK, Mr. Kayode Ogundamisi listed its affiliates as Green Peoples Environmental Network (GREPNET) - Nigeria; Community Peoples Action Against Aids, (COPEAIDS) - Nigeria; Irapada Omo Odua (IOD), Northern Ireland Chapter; Journalists for Democratic Rights (JODER) -Nigeria; Oodua Republic Front (ORF) - Nigeria, and Ijaw Monitoring Group - Nigeria.

Ogundamisi said that "as British Nigerians and Nigerians resident in the United Kingdom with stakes in both countries we demand as follows:

* Prime Minister Gordon Brown should withdraw his offer for military assistance to the Nigerian government;

* that the British government should commence investigation into the private accounts of past and current Nigerian public office holders with a view to recovering stolen money and return same to the people of Nigeria;

* the Nigerian government should stop the continued militarisation of the Niger Delta region;

* the Nigeria police should be adequately-equipped to deal with law and order issues in the Niger Delta;

* that only a genuine restoration of the rights of the Niger Delta people and all oppressed people in Nigeria will bring peace to the country; and

* that if the Labour-led government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown is in any way seen to join the Nigerian government in committing acts of genocide in the Niger Delta, the Liberty Forum and its affiliate organisations shall begin immediate campaigns against the Labour Party in the Afro-Caribbean community in the United Kingdom.

Lagos opposes closure of Third Mainland Bridge


Stakeholders held a meeting on Wednesday on the proposed closure of the Third Mainland Bridge for repair works schedued to begin on Thursday(today).

It was learnt that the Lagos State Government objected to the closure of the bridge during the meeting to map out ways to ease the traffic chaos that might arise thereafter.

Our correspondents gathered that state government officials told representatives of the Federal Government that the state lacked the resources and infrastructure to deal with the likely traffic crisis that might arise as a result of the planned closure of the bridge.

The Commissioner for Transport, Lagos State, Prof. Bamidele Badejo, confirmed this during a telephone interview with THE PUNCH on Wednesday night.

Badejo said, “There is a committee working with the Federal Ministry of Transportation.

“As at today(Wednesday), we’ve not resolved certain issues and as a result, there is no way the rehabilitation work can commence.

“However, there will be another meeting tomorrow (Thursday). But I can say categorically that the rehabilitation work cannot go on as planned because there are many areas that are still not clear and which must be cleared before work can commence.

“I want to assure you that we are not keeping quiet. LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) is working with them.”

The Federal Controller of Works Lagos, Mr. Tunde Ekunsunmi, also confirmed that there would be a meeting with Governor Babatunde Fashola today.

He said, “When we meet tomorrow (today), we will resolve this; the earlier we get out of it, the better.

He, however, was not categorical about a change in the date of commencement of the repair, saying that that would be decided at today’s meeting.

Ekunsumi said the rains had distrupted plans to repair alternative routes that motorists would have to use in the event of the closure of the bridge.

The controller had told THE PUNCH on Tuesday that the bridge would be partially shut to traffic till September 6 to enable the contractor handling its rehabilitation to carry out the job without any hindrances.

If the bridge is eventually closed, ferry, helicopter and train services may become alternative means of transportation for many people moving in and out of the Lagos Island.

The Chairman, Corporate Messengers Ferry Services, Mr. Akin Akinyemi, said the Lagos State Government might construct emergency jetties where passengers could board ferries on some of the 10 abandoned routes in the state.

The abandoned routes include the Marina-Ikorodu, Marina-Mile 2 and Marina-Aja. Only the Marina-Apapa route is currently operational.

Akinyemi, however, added that the reactivation of the jetties could not be achieved in less than a month.

He also advised that the Marina-Oworoshoki, Oworoshoki-Island and Marina-Mile 2 routes be made operational so that the state could cope with the imminent traffic crises.

Akinyemi said, “The Lagos State Government has agreed to construct some emergency jetties but before the jetties are constructed, some of the terminals have to be dredged and this will take about two weeks. So, a month will be okay to quickly do all the intervention measures.”

He said it was disheartening that Lagosians were yet to appreciate the importance of water transport in the state.

The CMFS chief also disclosed that the two ferry service operators were planning to increase their fares from N50 to N100 per trip due to high cost of diesel.

Ferry services in the state commences at 7am and closes at 6:30pm daily.

Akinyemi explained that within the hours of operations, a ferry usually depart every 30 minutes with a minimum of 100 passengers per trip.

Our correspondents also learnt on Wednesday that the Nigerian Railway Corporation had arranged to increase its number of mass transit trains from six to eight in Lagos.

The Managing Director of the corporation, Mr. Jetson Nwankwo, said the frequencies could be further increased from Iddo to Agbado and Ijoko in Ogun State, depending on demand.

Although he admitted that the company did not have enough locomotive engines, he said that it was prepared to suspend its Lagos-Kano service to boost the Lagos train service during the period that the Third Mainland bridge’s repair would last.

The NRC runs three train services in the morning and three in the evening.While two from Ijoko and Agbado head for Iddo, the third train takes off from Iddo to Agbado.

The morning services begin at 7am and the evening at 4pm.

Nwankwo advised the National Inland Waterways Authority to take advantage of the current situation and reactivate its jetty at Iddo to enable train passengers and other people to connect the ferry at that point to Marina.

The corporation, he added, could revive the extension of the rail track at Iddo to the jetty.

The Railways District Manager for Lagos, Mr. John Dottie, listed the stop stations as Ebute Meta, Yaba, Mushin, Oshodi, Ikeja, Agege and Agbado.

One of the helicopter companies in Lagos has also initiated moves to benefit from the closure of the bridge by commencing “awareness flights” to and from Lagos Island.

The Ground Operations Manager of Caverton Helicopters, Mr. Victor Chibuogwu, said the awareness flights started last week.

Chibuogwu said that the firm, which operates air shuttle services within the Lagos metropolis and adjoining cities has an heliport along Ozumba Mbadiwe Road on Victoria Island.

On the affordability of the fares, he said the company presently charges N27,000 for adults, N18, 200 for children, and N2,000 for infants for two-way flights between the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja and Victoria Island.

He said although other helicopter operators made use of Caverton’s heliport, the company was prepared for the possible increase in traffic due to the closure of the bridge.

Chibuogwu noted that it would take just seven minutes for its helicopters to fly from Ikeja to the Lagos Island.

OAS Helicopters in Maryland, Lagos, said it provides only charter services.

A charter flight on its eight -passenger helicopter to the Island costs N377,000, including Value Added Tax.

The company assured that it had enough helicopters to accommodate any possible increase in traffic.

Song

I just listened to this documentary on BBC and it just exposes how IGNORANT REALLY IS A DISEASE!


First, the conmen will disappear with the money


Second, the 'aspiring footballers' no next to nothing about British Immigration rules

three, they chat on internet dating sites in order to travel out.

The documentary is annoying

"Nigeria has an unenviable reputation for being at the forefront of this sort of crime

So prevalent is the fraud culture that it is satirised in this popular NIGERIAN song"

In the song Nkem Owoh sings an athem for all those involved in so-called 419 songs. . . In a world of 419, conmen calls their victims mugu or idiots!

Cool movie but unrealistic. Nicholas Cage could see the future and know what implications his decisions today will have. Quite funny though even though it's a thriller

would be surprised that itz really true

BlackChap:
A one year notice with several reminders would have been sufficient and I am sure all commuters will understand and even appreciate the govt.

If the bridge collapses before the year runs out, you'll still blame the FG.

Let them do what they have to now

Jakumo:
I wonder if the 2-month time-frame estimated for repair of the bridge is measured in real time or in African Time.

Time will tell.

The minister has expressed FEARS that the project might end in October!
