Herdsmen Fault Alleged
Killing Of Kinsmen By
Ombatse Militiamen

By: Donatus Nadi on May 21, 2013 - 3:29am

Fulanis in Nasarawa State have roundly
condemned what they called silent
extermination of their men by the
dreaded Ombatse militiamen along
Agwada-Amba axis of Kokona local
government area, with a promise to
revenge if any of such killing is carried out
on any of their kinsmen again.
Making this disclosure in Lafia, the state
capital, the secretary general of the Miyetti
Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Mallam
Husseini, alleged that in the past one
month over seven Fulani men have been
ambushed and killed by the Ombatse
under the pretense that they are armed
robbers, with the most recent being
Saturday night.
The secretary, who accused the police of
complicity for their refusal to conduct in-
depth investigation into the robbery
claims even when the Fulani community
has repeatedly asserted the innocence of
their kinsmen, said no weapon has ever
been recovered on them and all their
motorcycles are nowhere to be found yet
the police is easily made to believe the
arm robbery conspiracy.
He said, “the men were accused by the
Ombatse of burgling a store and all they
tendered as exhibits were biscuits and
sweets,” adding that, “the Jincheng
motorcycle which they used in going to
Garaku town to buy food supplements for
their animals is yet to be recovered”.
Mallam Husseini lamented that a peace
deal has just been struck between the
Fulani and the Eggon but such indirect
ploy to kill their kinsmen would
jeopardize the peace accord as they
promised to avenge any further killing by
the Eggon Ombatse militiamen.
When contacted, the president general of
the Ombatse, Mr. Zabura Musa, denied
knowledge of any such occurrence adding
that the Ombatse have been seriously
warned to desist from any act that would
lead to breakdown of law and order.

A referee who was left in a coma after being
punched by a teenage player during a game a
week ago has died.
Ricardo Portillo, 46, of Salt Lake City, died in the
hospital where he was being treated following
the assault on Saturday night.
Police have accused a 17-year-old player of
punching Mr Portillo after he gave him a yellow
card for a foul.
Spokesman Justin Hoyal said: "The suspect was
close to Portillo and punched him once in the face
as a result of the call."
The teenager has been booked into juvenile
detention on suspicion of aggravated assault. Mr
Hoyal said authorities will consider additional
charges following the referee's death.
The cause of death has not been given. An
autopsy is to be carried out later.
Mr Portillo suffered swelling in his brain and had
been listed as being in a critical condition at the
Intermountain Medical Centre in Murray, Salt
Lake City, where he was treated.
Johana Portillo, 26, said last week she had been
told by witnesses that the player hit her father in
the side of the head.
She said: "When he was writing down his notes,
he just came out of nowhere and punched him."
The teenager was playing in goal during a junior
high school match when he was cautioned for
pushing an opposition player.
He began arguing with Mr Portillo before
punching him in the face.
Mr Portillo asked to be held up because he felt
dizzy, but then sat down and began vomiting
blood.
By the time an ambulance arrived he had fallen
into a coma.
His family said he had been attacked before while
refereeing games. Johana said they had begged
him to stop because of the risk from angry
players.
She said: "It was his passion. We could not tell
him no."

True talk

Had expected obama to do more to protect african interest

Washington - Africans could be the big losers
as the United States reforms its immigration
laws and eliminates the green card lottery, of
which Africans are the main beneficiaries.
Half of the 50 000 residence permits handed
out at random each year are earmarked for
Africans. It is a hugely popular programme
that has allowed hundreds of thousands of
Africans to settle in America since the mid
1990s.
But the ambitious reform project under
debate now in Washington, which would
provide papers for [a] million undocumented
immigrants, contains a clause that would do
away with the lottery.
In its place would be a more selective
immigration system based on skills, career
and family ties.
For years the lottery has been in the
crosshairs of Republicans, who control the
House of Representatives and say it adds no
value to the American economy.
"It's clear that there are better ways to
allocate visas than to randomly give them out
through a lottery system," said Bob
Goodlatte, the Republican who leads the
House Judiciary Committee. "Our
immigration laws shouldn't be based on the
luck of the draw; rather, they should be
designed strategically to benefit our
country."
The 'diversity visa,' as it is known formally, is
set aside for people from countries that do
not experience a lot of emigration. So
Mexicans, Chinese and Filipinos, for instance,
are not eligible. Africans quickly became the
main ones to cash in.
All applicants need is a high school diploma
or two years of work experience.
Between 2010 and 2012, one in five Africans
who came to the United States to stay did so
through the lottery. That made it the third
most common method, at 21% of the total,
after family reunification (43%) and refugee
status or asylum seekers (23%).
By comparison, in the same period only 10%
of Europeans who became permanent
residents and 3% of Asians did so through the
lottery.
Merit based
"It has proven to be a way of helping those
who come from the continent of Africa, those
who come from a number of other areas
where it is very difficult to get a visa," said
Sheila Jackson Lee, a member of the
Congressional Black Caucus, whose members
are all Democrats.
But in an effort to preserve the
comprehensive reform being negotiated for
months by the two parties, the Democrats
and President Barack Obama agreed to ditch
the lottery.
Representative Charles Schumer, who
authored the programme in 1990, said it was
impossible to keep it.
Schumer said the system that will replace it in
2017 is merit-based and will also give
Africans a chance. On average they are more
educated than people from other continents.
And English-speaking Africans would get a
boost because of that language skill.
But Michael Fix of the Migration Policy
Institute said, "It really probably won't admit
enough people to offset the effects of the loss
of the diversity visa for some years after
that. It's a long time away. It won't be
immediately offset by any means."
The diversity visas would vanish starting
next year under the reform being negotiated.
Only four percent of African immigrants -
compared to 21% of Asians and 22% of
Europeans - received a green card for
employment reasons in 2012.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Coloured People says the
number of African immigrants will go down
even with the merit-based system.
"In essence, we're concerned," said Hilary
Shelton, the NAACP Washington bureau
director.
Dame Babou, who hosts a radio show that
caters to Senegalese people in New York, said
the scrapping of the lottery is disheartening
for Africans.
"Every year many people thought this was
going to be their year," Babou said. "Again,
what is being eliminated is hope."

Godsday Orubebe Declares For Delta
Governorship, Ignites Fire storm
May 1, 2013 - 12:53 — siteadmin
By SaharaReporters, New York
Over the weekend, Niger Delta Affairs
Minister, Godsday Orubebe, brushed aside a
series of corruption allegations dangling
around his neck and publicly declared his
intention and preparedness to run for the
office of the Delta State governor in the 2015
election.
The embattled minister made his intentions
known during his condolence visit to the
family of the late Alam Barovbe in Ovu
Inland, Ethiope East local government area of
Delta State. He made it clear that ethnicity
would be given priority in determining the
state’s next governor. “It is the turn of the
Ijaw people to produce the next governor of
Delta State,” Mr. Orubebe stated.
The minister boasted that God had made him
the unanimous choice for the post of state
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
added that he expected to be unanimously
elected as governor in 2015.
Contacted late last night, a source at the
Presidency told SaharaReporters that
President Goodluck Jonathan was backing
Mr. Orubebe’s gubernatorial ambition. “The
fact that Chief Orubebe is so confident of
becoming the governor come 2015 is because
Mr. President is solidly behind him,” the
source stated.
In his statement over the weekend, the
minister stressed that the Ijaws must produce
the next governor of Delta State irrespective
of the next governor’s senatorial district. He
stated that the Urhobo and Itsekiri ethnic
groups had produced governors, but that the
Isoko and Ndokwa have yet to produce one.
He therefore insisted it is now the turn of the
Ijaw, adding that the various ethnic groups
within the state must have “a taste” of the
governorship.
“I must say categorically that all the ethnic
nationalities of this state must have a taste of
the governorship of this state,” Mr. Orubebe
said. “Urhobo people have gotten it, Itsekiri
have gotten it, Ndokwa has not gotten it, Ijaw
has not gotten it, Isoko has not gotten it. And
so we are appealing to others that, this is the
turn of the Ijaw people. We are appealing
that it is the turn of the Ijaw people now
because all the ethnic groups must have a
taste.”
In 2012, a group known as the Anti-
Corruption Network had petitioned the
chairman of the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission (ICPC), accusing Mr.
Orubebe of extensive acts of corruption and
abuse of office. The complaint, which was
dated November 19, 2012, was signed by the
network’s executive secretary, Dino Melaye, a
former member of the House of
Representatives. The petition accused Mr.
Orubebe of accepting the gratification a huge
mansion on a parcel of land allocated to him
in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, adding that the
minister’s acceptance of the real estate gift
violated the country’s anti-corruption laws.
To add to Mr. Orubebe’s troubles, Edwin
Clark, a major Ijaw political figure last
December demanded that Nigeria’s anti-graft
agencies investigate Mr. Orubebe on
corruption.
Late last year, ex-militant Asari Dokubo
criticized Mr. Orubebe for enriching himself
whilst doing nothing for the Niger Delta area.
In a widely circulated statement, Mr. Dokubo
recalled that Mr. Orubebe used to be
economically wretched before he was
appointed into Mr. Jonathan’s cabinet. The
ex-militant leader particularly assailed the
minister for failing to work on the
dilapidated East-West Road, the main
highway artery into and from Nigeria’s oil-
producing Niger Delta.
A close source to the minister told
SaharaReporters that Mr. Orubebe had no
fears that his image as one of the most
corrupt cabinet members would jeopardize
his governorship aspirations. “So far as Chief
[Orubebe] has the full support of the
president, nobody can stop him,” the source
said. He added that President Jonathan would
not fire the controversial minister despite the
series of corruption allegations swirling
around Mr. Orubebe. “Mr. President has an
interest in making him the next governor of
Delta State. How then can Mr. President sack
him?” the source said.
However, several political figures from the
Niger Delta confided in SaharaReporters that
a coalition of forces was emerging within the
state to frustrate Mr. Orubebe’s
governorship ambition. One source told our
correspondent that prominent Ijaw leaders
were part of the coalition.
“We are prepared to use the last drop of our
blood when the time comes in 2015 to stop
Chief Orubebe,” said one source. Another
added that the minister “will never have a
single vote” if the PDP’s primaries are free-
and-fair. He said, “We all know that
corruption runs in his veins. He is a well
known monumental failure.” Then he
challenged Mr. Jonathan “to wake up from
his slumber and pilot the affairs of the nation
and refrain from coming to create problems
for Deltans.”

The Admiralty-Alexander (Lekki-Ikoyi)
suspension link bridge has been completed at
a cost of N29bn. The bridge which will soon be
commissioned by the state governor,
Babatunde Fashola is said to be one of its kind
in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Reports say the bridge will be tolled to recoup
the investments undertaken by the
government to build it.
According to Kadri Hamzat, the state
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure,
the bridge, built by construction giants, Julius
Berger, has a total lenght of 1.358km.
The bridge is expected to decongest traffic in
Lekki area and is a cynosure of all eyes
because of its beauty.
According to Hamzat, Julius Berger has five
years contract to maintain the bridge and
could be renewed at the expiration of the
term.
“The bridge is designed to serve as a strategic
by-pass and to reduce the travel time along
Falomo Bridge, Alfred Rewane Road,
Independence Bridge and Ahmadu Bello Way.
The project will raise the property value along
the corridor,” Hamzat said.
Julius Berger Nigeria Plc began the
construction of the bridge in October, 2008.

The FBI has released images of two suspects in
the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.
FBI agent Richard DesLauriers said the suspects
were "armed and extremely dangerous" and
warned the public not to approach them.
He said the pictures came from surveillance
cameras near the explosion sites.
Three people were killed and more than 170
others were injured in the twin blasts on
Monday.

The money will be used to appease the gods,
the practitioner said.
A traditionalist at the weekend demanded the
Ogun state government to pay him N1.5million
before he could allow his shrine removed for
ongoing road construction work in Ota town of
the state.
The threat was handed down to the local
government chairman, Rotimi Rahman, by the
traditional worshipper or onward delivery to the
state governor, Ibikunle Amosun.
The chairman was briefing the governor during a
work scheduled visit to the project site in Ilo-
Awela located in Ado-Odo/Ota local government
when our correspondent eavesdropped the
discussion.
The council boss told the governor that, the
traditionalist had insisted to collect the sum of
N1.5million to enable him appease the gods and
goddess before they could be relocated.
“The Baba said we have to give him N1.5million
to relocate his shrine before work could start
there. Because the shrine is to be affected by the
demolition exercise for the road
construction,”the chairman told the governor.
Shocked by the demand, Mr. Amosun who burst
into laughter thereafter instructed the council
chairman to arrange meeting with him and the
traditionalist later after the inspection visit,
before he moved to other areas of the town for
similar sites inspection visit.
“’What do you say?” Mr. Amosun pressed.
“Demanding N1.5million for shrine relocation, at
this era of civilization? I think there is need for
me to see the man, and try to bring him,” the
governor declared.

Defectors fleeing North Korea are routinely
sentenced to death as the government attempts
to shut its people away from the world. Here one
woman tells her story.
The North Korea that the government hides from
the outside world is characterised by food
shortages, indoctrination, military paranoia and
labour camps where thousands toil to stay alive;
locked up for showing even the slightest dissent.
Attempting to escape the country is a capital
offence. The regime is determined to keep its
iron grip on the population.
Defectors send messages home revealing that the
outside world is not determined to crush North
Korea and that people do not need to live in a
twilight of perpetual shortages.
The North Korean regime hides its people from
the outside world
Some do make it, accepting they will never see
their families again.
They spend their lives living as anonymously as
possible; a picture of them in the south on any
type of media would condemn their families at
home to instant imprisonment.
In North Korea punishment lasts three
generations. A husband and wife, their children
and their grandchildren will all be punished, will
all be locked up in the camps.
Lee Hyeonseo escaped with her entire family so
is happy to speak out.
Speaking in a drop in centre for North Koreans at
a Seoul university she said: "A family would
completely be sent to a prison camp if they found
out their family are in South Korea; it is a little
problem if they are in China but it is a different
thing if they are in South Korea.
"People in the north don't know the truth about
what is going on as they can't hear or see
anything about the wider world.
"They don't know about human rights or the
suffering. They live in a virtual prison."
The journey to South Korea is difficult, long and
dangerous. They cross to China. If they are
arrested there they are sent back to certain
death.
They then make their way through Laos,
Cambodia or Vietnam heading for Thailand
where they present themselves to a South
Korean embassy and apply for asylum.
Miss Lee said: "It is very hard and long and very
difficult."
She will not give any details of how she bribed
her way out, but she did it for herself and her
family and she certainly had no money.
The current crisis is about the regime holding on
to power according to Miss Lee.
She said: "He (Kim Jong Un) needs to do
something to show the people that he is
protecting our country. The people are told it
was started by the US or other countries.
"This is good propaganda for him that is why he
is doing this it is all absurd."

Emeka Inyama, a board member of the Nigeria
Football Federation, has stated that Super Eagles
coach Stephen Keshi, has travelled to the US
without permission and must return from his
California base by Monday.
The former Mali and Togo boss left the country
and failed to attend the meeting of the technicak
committee and the NFF have asked him to
return and answer a query.
“Keshi has been recalled and he must be in Abuja
on Monday if he still cares about his job,”
Inyama said.
He also noted that Keshi was notified about the
meeting, but still chose to leave.
“Keshi was formally invited to the Technical and
Development Committee meeting [on Tuesday]
to discuss, among other issues, the list of players
he released for the matches ahead, his back
room staff and misunderstanding between him
and some of his players.
“But Keshi did not show up
and [the NFF] doesn’t
know why he did not show up. The fact remains
that Keshi applied for a leave to see his family
and it has not been approved or confirmed and
he travelled. The NFF wants him to be part of all
the discussions affecting his team with the
committee before he would be allowed to
proceed to the US for his holiday, but he chose to
leave without permission.
“But he had the time to collect his cars from
Globacom on Monday and jet out to the US just
less than 24 hours before the Technical
Committee meeting on Tuesday. We shouldn’t
condone what is bad. It will only take 120 dollars
to change his ticket from going on that Monday
and to go the next day. That is what we are
saying. The meeting has a lot to do about his
team, Fifa Confederations Cup and 2014 World
Cup qualifiers.”

Britain writes FG, requests ex-
convict Alamieyeseigha’s
extradition to London
Premium Times - 2 hours ago
NATIONAL, NEWS
By Paulinus Aidoghie
The United Kingdom has said that it has not given
up on its efforts to extradite former Bayelsa
State governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, back to
Britain to face trial, the Sun Newspaper is
reporting today.
The UK said it had already contacted the Federal
Government requesting Mr. Alamieyeseigha’s
extradition, and was awaiting a response to the
request.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria,
Andrew Pocock, told the paper in an exclusive
interview that the former governor, who
recently got state pardon from his criminal
conviction in Nigeria, still has an outstanding
case of money laundering to answer to in the UK
and that the UK government will not give up until
Mr. Alamieyeseigha is brought to justice.
Mr. Alamieyeseigha, then a serving governor,
made a dramatic escape from the custody of the
British authorities when he fled back to Nigeria
from detention in September 2005. He would
later be convicted on similar money laundering
charges on July 26, 2007 in Nigeria after he was
impeached as governor.
Although his recent state pardon by President
Goodluck Jonathan hit the UK authorities as a
rude shock, Mr. Pocock dismissed insinuations
that London was planning to sanction Nigeria
over the matter. According to him, “that is not
the way we do things”.
The High Commissioner also revealed that UK
had earlier requested for Alamieyeseigha’s
extradition, but did not get any response.
Mr. Pocock said the UK had asked the Attorney
General and Minister for Justice for
Alamieyeseigha’s extradition and was still
awaiting his position on the issue when President
Goodluck Jonathan all of a sudden announced he
has been extricated of all wrong doing via the
state clemency.
The move to pardon him even when the
application for his extradition to Britain was still
pending was like daring the applying nation that
feels strongly that Alamieyeseigha has a case to
answer in their country.
According to Mr. Pocock, “The former governor
skipped bail in the UK on a charge of money
laundering and returned to Nigeria. So, he has an
outstanding charge in the UK, which is there for
him to answer.
“We have already discussed it and the Nigerian
government knows our views. But we would like
to see him return and answer charge in the UK.”
On UK’s past and present efforts to see that
Alamieyeseigha is extradited to the UK, Mr.
Pocock said: “Yes. I think we asked in the past. I
am very sure we asked in the past. But I am not
sure we got a formal response. So, we are still
waiting for a formal response from the Nigerian
government.
“We have asked the Attorney General. He will
have to tell us what his position is on extradition.
I haven’t had a reply yet, but we still wait for it,”
the British envoy added.

WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT FIRING SQUAD FOR CHILD MOLESTERS AND RAPIST !
In recent weeks our society have been awashed with horrific stories and images of the sexual abuse and molestation of the girl child from ,teens who use their fingers to violate babies , to evil uncles who give them their phallus instead of ice cream, fathers who have sold their conscience to the Devil and now to the amazement of all grandfathers who send their children on errand so they could have carnal knowledge of their own grandchildren.
The big question is, What do this'' BOYS'' and ''MEN'' stand to benefit from these atrocities?
Its sad that a 3 month old child as I write has lost her virginity in the most cruel and dehumanising way by those whom God has trusted her care to , with the blood flowing through her legs and tears from her eyes you can't but breakdown knowing what this child has passed through in the hands of her own father.
Is it now embedded in the male psyche to rape, and terrorise the female gender irrespective of their age, health status or blood relationship ?
Is it now a crime to be born female?
For what reason should a well paid driver defile the 2 year old daughter of his boss while taking her to school ?
While as men we will be quick to dispel such assertions as exceptions and not the rule the actions of the Young men in Opi, south East Nigeria who raped old women ages between 60-80 on their way to the farm ,The morally bankrupt Islamic teacher who raped a six year old child in Jigawa or the fake pastor who organised deliverance for a child at night sending the parents home only to rape the helpless girl, paints a different picture.
Furthermore ,the man from the south west who has violated nearly all his daughters and threatening to kill anyone who spoke, clearly shows what these men are willing to do to cover up their evil acts.
Sadly even the law enforcement agents are not left out , the raping of a 3 year old girl by a serving police officer quietly reminds us that we have limited places to run to for help.
Randy royals ripping off the skirts of youth corps members posted to serve in their domain is new twist to these ugly trend, Today students have turned their hostels to crime scenes were peoples daughters are drugged and raped while ‘’‘Agberos’’ and other touts are lurking around the ghettos waiting for their next victim.
No corner of this country is free from the presence of this evil men and women in some instances, who have continued to prey on the weak and vulnerable in the society .
To the few who survived these brutal onslaught ,the scars as well as the emotional and physical trauma remain and continue to torment them destroying their self esteem, and changing their view and perception of society as they journey through life . It is therefore imperative to begin to canvass for legislations that are stiff enough to serve as nightmare to would be rapist and child molesters .
The story of one Mr. Odo from Nsukka who has been having carnal knowledge of his child for a long period despite his wife Theresa been available is not only sad but deeply regrettable however ,the law in Enugu state as it stands will require the magistrate court to obtain the permission of the state attorney general before it can even hear the matter according to section 226 of the criminal code of ENUGU state Nigeria.
As things stand today the our laws are not strict enough, and to make matters worse we have no system to track paedophiles as such the man or woman you handed your child to at school today may just be a serial child molesters.
Whether its on twitter, facebook , youtube ,myspace , hi5 or whatever media lets sing till those whom we have entrusted with making Laws recognise the importance of protecting our children, by changing the laws to reflect the brutality and weight of such crimes

A husband and wife bank robbery team have
been arrested in Utah after they took their two
children along on the heist, police say.
According to police records, the man and woman,
both 27, were arrested during a traffic stop on
Monday soon after a Wells Fargo bank branch
was robbed.
Two children, ages 5 and 2, were in the back seat.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports the married
couple told police they robbed the bank because
they faced eviction and needed to pay medical
bills.
Bank employees told police the woman entered
the bank and showed the teller a note demanding
money.
After a bank teller gave her $956 (£640), the
woman reportedly ran to the car, which the man
drove away.
Police said they searched the couple's vehicle and
found the robbery note along with hundreds of
dollars in cash.
It is unclear what happened to the children after
their parents' arrest.

An 89-year-old woman in Delaware has been
carjacked and locked in her own boot for two
days before being dumped at a cemetery.
State police have charged five teenagers over the
kidnapping of Margaret Smith, who was found
wandering around the headstones of the
graveyard east of Seaford in Sussex County.
She was treated at a local hospital and later
released.
By chance, troopers spotted her car being driven
around in nearby Bridgeville and ran a licence
check.
Three girls and two boys aged from 14 to 17-
years-old were taken into custody.
Authorities had issued a Gold Alert for Mrs Smith
after relatives reported her missing on Tuesday
night.
She had last been seen getting into her car
around 11am that day.
Police said two girls had approached her at a
grocery store and asked for a ride.
She agreed but when they arrived at the address
they gave, the girls demanded her car keys and
forced her into the boot of the car.
They later allegedly took more than $500 from
her coat pocket.
At some point, the two girls also picked up the
other teens and showed off their helpless victim
inside the boot, police said.
Two girls, aged 14 and 15, were detained on
$122,000 (£80,000) cash bonds after being charged
with robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and
conspiracy.
Two boys, both aged 17, were being held on
$27,000 (£17,000) secured bonds after being
charged with kidnapping, conspiracy and
receiving stolen property.
Another 15-year-old girl was charged with
receiving stolen property and conspiracy and is
being held on $2,000 (£1,300) secured bond.

One of US President Barack Obama's limousines has broken down in Israel.

The black, heavily guarded limousine experienced mechanical problems in Tel Aviv before Mr Obama landed in the country for a state visit.

Media reports said the vehicle was mistakenly filled with diesel rather than petrol.

The disabled limo was swapped for a back-up, and Mr Obama's busy itinerary in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Wednesday was not affected.

"This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on all trips," US Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said in a statement.

"Situations like this are planned for extensively by our advance teams so that the President's itinerary is unaffected by these types of issues."
