2020 has been a ‘phenomenal’ year for many but kasamadupe (Let's just thank God). Lol

Here are a few of what I learned and experienced in the year.

LIFE: Don’t just wait for opportunities. Prepare yourself before they arrive. There’s a way the forces of the earth bring opportunities to you when you’re already equipped for it. Start preparing for what’s before you. Eat, for the journey is far.

WORK: The world is changing. Are you sure that your current work/office will still be existing in the next 20yrs? Look ahead and begin navigating now. Don't be caught unaware lest you become obsolete in the twinkling of an eye.

LOVE: Love is a choice. There will be other options for a man/woman. Commitment and trust is a big deal to keep moving. Don’t fight for love. If you do, you’ll keep fighting to keep it. When you’re not Erujeje, the mighty man in battle. Neither are you god of war. Let the person voluntarily give their heart to you. It flows well from there.

EIE calls for Story Tellers. If you fit, peruse details on the flyer.

Why the many thanks that I wished our GCFR a happy birthday? Don't thank me. It's the least I could do jare.

See excerpts...

Baa Yusuf, you’re a record-breaker. From the outset, your love for Nigeria was unrivaled. It’s why you contested four times for the highest office in the land. And you’ve been doing excellently on the job. Ever since your angelic visitation cum intervention to Nigeria’s political scene, it has been heaven on earth. Integrity, character, and honor mean the same thing all over the world except in Nigeria because you redefined it, in words and action. Not a single guile has been found in you because you’ve over-delivered on all your campaign promises.

It's a 2mins read. We must give honour to whom honour is due.

A recent report by the United Nations indicates that three out of ten people lack access to safely managed drinking water while six in ten people lack access to safely managed sanitation facilities.

The challenges are more prevalent in the developing countries, especially sub-Saharan Africa, where lack of access to water for drinking and sanitation facilities may affect the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

A Nigerian company, Hoblot Nigeria Limited (HNL) has come up with a disruptive innovation technology to help the country mitigates the impact of perennial problem of unsafe water, and thus enables the Federal Government achieve the SGD on schedule.

Dr. Moses Oyatogun is the National Coordinator, Research and Development, Forestry and Wildlife, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and a Senior Lecturer in the same school. He speaks about the state of Wildlife in Nigeria and the steady depletion of animals in zoological gardens across the country.

NatureNews: What would you describe as the challenge(s) facing zoological gardens in Nigeria?

Oyatogun: There are numerous challenges. Let me just attempt to itemize them:

One, there is a challenge of appreciating wildlife. Then, there is challenge of data. There is a lack of accurate data. I mean we don’t even know the exact population of wild animals that we have in Nigeria.

I can recollect that the last serious animal population census we did was far back as the 1980s and what we did at that time was that we combined the animal population census with national livestock population.

This was because at that time, the government was serious about funding wildlife, forestry, and activities that would conserve the resources we have in Nigeria.

For example, I have used a seasonal plane with people like Kevin Milligan and the late Professor Afolayan to do a survey of some of the national parks we have in Nigeria. We wanted to know the potential of those national parks.

At that time the Federal Government was serious so we usually had intergovernmental agencies who selected people from the research institutes, federal department of forestry and wildlife departments.

I was working in a research institute then. We were about six that were selected. We were the people that surveyed Gashaka Gumti and then recommended to the government that it should be made a national park.

It is important I start with this because the sources for the materials for our zoos are the national parks. The government has been trying to have the national parks as a national park system.

Another of our challenges is the lack of national focus. At that time, we had eight national parks. Yankari was one of them but because of our perception in this country, lack of focus from our political leaders and lack of collaboration with professionals. Instead of trying to increase the number of National Parks that we have which are the sources of wildlife that we can take to the zoos, they transferred ownership to state government and returned it to Yankari Game Reserve.

As a nation, we should make every effort to increase the number of national parks we have.

Lack of funding is also a major challenge. The zoos are not properly funded.

In the 1980s, there was a national wildlife capture team and Kainji Lake Research Institute did a lot of capturing of cubs with people like Prof. Agbelusi and the wildlife team at Kainji.

We collaborated with our counterparts in the school of wildlife management and we had a very good capture programme.

We were able to capture about 10 cubs with permission from the National Parks but the research couldn’t continue because funding ceased.

Let me mention that as of today, we don’t have capture guns in Nigeria. There is no way of demobilizing animals in our zoos for treatment or transportation. We only have few professionals specializing in wildlife programme.

We’re supposed to have veterinary doctors that specialize in wildlife veterinary medicine so that they can be part of the capture team and zoo management teams.

The government are only paying lip service. They are not funding educational program well. We have a college of wildlife management but we don’t have specialists to dispense knowledge.

Our wildlife is a national heritage and we are supposed to have active zoos. There is a lot to gain from ecotourism.

Zoological gardens are also facing environmental challenges like disease, flooding, under population, lack of facilities, inconsistency with policies and many other basic things. Government must fund wildlife well.

NatureNews: Why are we having an alarming rate of depletion of animals in zoological parks across the country?

Oyatogun: The first reason is inadequate feeding.

Second, inadequate drugs and equipment to keep the animals alive.

Three, over modification of the environment such that it isn’t looking like the natural environment of the animals.

Four, human beings are stealing some of those animals for special type of medicine, juju, voodoo; some are even stealing and re-selling the animals to other zoos.

We lack good inter-zoo cooperation if not it would be difficult to sell an animal stolen from a zoo to another zoo in Nigeria.

Inter-zoo will help zoos with multiple animals of same type distribute them to other zoos in need of same animals for exchange so that we’d have a widespread of animals across the zoos.

In addition, zoo workers lack incentives. Zoo workers are still being owed various allowances. There is no way they’ll be loyal.Dr. Moses Oyatogun is the National Coordinator, Research and Development, Forestry and Wildlife, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and a Senior Lecturer in the same school.

It is nearly impossible to determine now what really went down in Zaria. As my son, Mitterand Okorie, points out, too many versions and counter-versions. But this much is certain - and you should know this, irrespective of your religion, ethnicity or party affiliation:

1) Ordinarily, military presence in civilian areas the way we have it in Nigeria is an aberration. Let's make an allowance: things are not normal in the North. It's a war zone, technically.

2) Even where we make this generous allowance, if for any reason, if for any reason, if for any reason, soldiers kill a civilian in a civilian area, an explanation to the country from their Commander-in-Chief becomes obligatory.

3) When one hundred civilians are killed in civilian spaces - even if they were breaking the law - by soldiers, and you do not hear from your President, it is called "criminal silence". In a proper democracy, it could cost him his job at worst or exact a heavy political price from him at best.

On a final note, I am beginning to patently dislike the haughty arrogance of the Buhari Presidency whenever there is loss of lives. And don't nobody give me that canard about how the routine of killings somehow immunizes the Presidency from reacting to every case.

In America, President Obama has an epidemic of mass shootings by American terrorists. The day he fails to address his nation on the occasion of just one mass shooting - because he somehow thinks that there will be Stockholm Syndromed citizens ready to argue that he does not need to address every occasion - he is playing with fire. When your troops kill civilians, you do not leave things to the Army High Command to issue arrogant statements directing the public to go about their normal duties and to report stuff to the police. When did it become in the place of the military to be issuing public directives?

This why Nnamdi Kanu calls you a zoo. Anvbody will pick up the phone and order cash from the Central Bank; Christians and Muslims will just stand up and block roads; soldiers will stand up and mop up civilians and issue inane directives after that; the presidency will not react, knowing that the citizenry lacks enough civic capital to understand that she is owed explanations by her President in such circumstances. How else do you define a zoo?

Note to the Presidency - some of us are multitaskers. That we are following Dasukigate very closely does not mean we are distracted. We can detect how and where you are failing even while monitoring Dasuki.

Tell us what happened in Zaria.

Tell us why one hundred civilians died in the hands of the military.

Announce an inquiry. There may be need to punish some soldiers.

Carmine “Mino” Raiola is a Dutch-Italian football agent representing a number of prominent football stars. He recently became the victim of another social media backlash and criticism in some parts of the world of football when he opined that the time of Manchester United player, Paul Pogba, has come to an end at Old Trafford.

Raiola is no stranger to causing disruptions at Manchester United and in other clubs where his clients play. Former Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson, described his first meeting with Raiola as a ‘fiasco’, saying he and him were like oil and water.

Ferguson then doubled-down with his criticism of Raiola in his autobiography, published in 2015, where he wrote: “There are one or two football agents I simply do not like, and Mino Raiola is one of them.”

Amidst the criticism, he is on top of his career as other Mino Raiola clients include prominent names like Zlatan Ibrahimović, Jesse Lingard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marco Verratti, Blaise Matuidi, and Mario Balotelli.
