*El rufai, Bello, reject being co-opted into anti-Oshiomhole camp *Okorocha schedules another meeting for Tuesday *Sen Uzodinma APC candidate in Imo By Charles Kumolu, Deputy Features Editor PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari was infuriated by the refusal of Imo State governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha; Ogun State governor, Sen Ibikunle Amosun; and Zamfara State governor, Alhaji Abudulaziz Yari to accept his solution to the crises over their choice of governorship candidates in their respective states, Saturday Vanguard learned. Amosun Okorocha Governors Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, The trio, who had visited the President in Abuja to seek his support in their quest to oust the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, were asked to sacrifice some of their ambitions in the interest of peace. Incensed by their insistence on having their way despite his intervention, the President, who did not buy into the anti-Oshiomhole plot referred them to the latter on the grounds that he runs the affairs of APC. A source privy to the outcome of the meeting told Saturday Vanguard that Buhari had told Okorocha to forgo his senatorial ambition and produce the governorship standard-bearer. Amosun, the source, said was also given options that could have ensured a win-win situation. It was this failure to get the President’s endorsement that informed the failed attempt to mobilise APC governors in Abuja, with the sole aim of moving against Oshiomhole. Govs Bello, Nasir Elrufai The plot, our source said, was for Rochas to have used his influence as the Chairman of Progressive Governors Forum, while the capacity of Yari as the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, would have been deployed to have other governors agree to the plan. However, most of the governors did not turn up for the meeting earlier this week, a situation Vanguard gathered was deliberate. In fact, an insider revealed that attempts at convincing Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello and Kaduna State governor, Nasir Elrufai in a telephone conversation failed. How Buhari ‘ll silence Peter Obi Bello was gathered to have told Okorocha that he had absolute loyalty for the President and would not pitch his tent against Oshiomhole, who is on the same page with Buhari on the matter. On his part, Elrufai was said to have told them not to speak to him again about the issue, saying he would not want to be used for settling personal scores. He was said to have added that they should settle any differences they may be having with Oshiomhole, without co-opting other governors in the plot against the national chairman. Saturday Vanguard was told that only four governors attended the failed meeting in Abuja. Faced with the failure to mobilise overwhelming support among the governors, the Okorocha group scheduled another anti-Oshiomhole meeting for next week Tuesday. Signatures of the 21-member NWC Also, the aggrieved governors, it was learned, have commenced collecting the names of the 21-member APC National Working Committee, NWC, in their quest to unseat Oshiomhole, who they considered a stumbling block to their ambitions. However, this move was said to have met a brick wall, as Vanguard gathered that they were relying on the Deputy National Chairman, North of the APC, Sen Lawali Shuabi, who was described as a mole in the party. According to one of the sources:”Rochas and his group of aggrieved governors met the President, thinking that he would support their moves against our National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole. Sayoc, Florida suspect charged over 13 bombs in mail “The President as a peacemaker, who means well, sent them back to Oshiomhole. He told them that Oshiomhole is in charge of the party. Buhari even told Rochas to drop his senatorial ambition and allow Hope Uzodinma to go to the Senate. “But Rochas disagreed. Amosun was also given an option that could resolve the crises, but he refused like his co-traveler, Rochas. Their actions got the President infuriated. They had thought that Buhari would support an illegality. They became frustrated, especially when their fellow governors told said they were not interested in the anti-Oshiomhole meeting. Governor Elrufai told them not to call him on phone again for such, stating that it was wrong to use other people in settling personal scores. Even Governor Bello said he would not join them on the grounds that he stands with the President on any issue. Okorocha came to Abuja three days before the failed meeting in his attempt to mobilise support. A vote of confidence “They are now moblising NWC members. They have started collecting their names but it is dead on arrival because they only have one person, who they think is loyal to them. They are collecting the names of those they think are against Comrade. Our party’s Deputy National Chairman, North, Sen Lawali Shuaibu is with them. He is a mole in our party. We have long discovered that he has sympathy for Saraki. We will defeat them. They even want to use the state chairmen but unknown to them, the state chairmen are loyal to Oshiomhole. All the state chairmen in the South-South have passed a vote of confidence in him. That puts him in a better position. The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi even held a meeting yesterday (Thursday) where he cautioned party chieftains against moving Oshiomhole. Osun teachers, pupils receive SUBEB award for hard work, brilliance Okorocha, Amosun, Yari, and Akeredolu “Rochas has budgeted so much for this project. That is why he is leading the offensive. Another meeting has even been scheduled for Tuesday. The agenda is their intention to remove Oshiomhole for refusing the subversion of popular wishes in their respective states. Okorocha, Amosun, Yari and even Akeredolu are just being motivated by selfish interest. Okorocha is hell-bent on installing his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, while a man, who is engaged to his daughter, would become Nwosu’s running mate. “He would also be in the Senate at the same time. That is not acceptable to Mr. President and our party chairman. Okorocha is exhibiting the height of greed because he had come several times to seek Oshiomhole’s support. The position of Oshiomhole is that the matter belongs to the people of the state. Oshiomhole has no grouse against Okorocha, who he returned the party structure to after being humiliated by the John Oyegun-led defunct national leadership. “At a meeting that was held for the aggrieved people in Imo, Oshiomhole asked Okorocha to take 55 percent of the positions, while Sen Hope Uzodima and Sen Uwajumogu group takes 45 percent, but Rochas refused, saying that Uzodinma and his group are not members of the party. Rochas wants to take Uzodinma’s seat in the Senate, while he has got someone to replace Uwajumogu in his senatorial district. These senators are the people fight for President Buhari in the Southeast and Rochas wants to displace them. “There is a security report that APC would lose Imo State if the ticket is given to Okorocha’s son-in-law. Even the Catholic Church which is an influential platform in the state has vowed not to vote for his candidate. The church was instrumental to the electoral defeat suffered by former governor Ikedi Ohakim. And we are talking of Okorocha, who had offended the church. The party expected them to take the opportunity offered by the Osunbor Electoral Panel Committee but Okorocha, Yari, Amosun, and Akeredolu failed to do so.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/10/how-okorocha-amosun-lost-buharis-support/amp/[i][/i]

You're actually right on this one... With the way things are going just like u said, we may end up with another Fulani herdsman. |
I can now conclude that PDP is not truly ready to wrestle the mantle of leadership of this country away from APC government... Why not below 35 ? |
Ok |
Until we heard what transpired between both party. |
For that baby to close his two eyes, means he knew he's not in Nigeria. |
I think the money you'll spend to refill that thing might almost equate the price of new fire extinguisher. |
A waste of precious beat. |
The mass burial of victims killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in several communities in Bassa Local Government of Plateau State was on Tuesday disrupted by a fresh attack which left 25 persons dead. Those to be given mass burial today were murdered between Thursday, March 8, 2018 when President Muhammadu Buhari paid an official visit to the beleaguered state, and Sunday, March 11. During the latest attack which took place by 7:00pm on Monday, 11 houses were also razed down. Persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen were said to have killed the 25 persons, including three children and two women, in Dundu Village of Kwall District in Bassa LGA of Plateau State. The spokesperson of Miango Youth Development Association, Lawrence Zongo, confirmed the casualty rate in an interview with The PUNCH in Jos on Tuesday. He said, “Very sad! Again, Fulani terrorists killed 25 persons in Dundu Village of Kwall District in Bassa LGA of Plateau State. “Eleven houses were razed down. The villagers were attacked around 7pm yesterday (Monday). Among the victims were three children and two women. “Others, including two women, are now receiving treatment in a nearby hospital in the community. This is too bad, as we are planning the mass burial of the last attack. “So far, we have more than 500 Internally Displaced Persons camp. International organisations should please come to our aid.” When contacted, the spokesperson of Plateau State Police Command, Matthias Tyopev, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, also confirmed the attack , but said the information was sketchy. According to him, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Adie Undie, has ordered a Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), Taiwo Jebiyisu, to the scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He said, “There was an attack yesterday (Monday) in Bassa; as such, the Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, has directed the DCP Taiwo Jebiyisu, a Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Department of Operations, to go to the scene of crime for an on-the-spot assessment. “As such, he is there now. The information is sketchy. I shall inform you when the details of the attack are made available, please.” https://punchng.com/breaking-25-killed-11-houses-razed-in-fresh-attacks-as-guests-flee-plateau-mass-burial/amp/[i][/i] |

•••say countrymen more wicked than Arabs •Over 400,000 still stranded –AU Commission Dayo Oketola, Adelani Adepegba, Kunle Falayi, Alexander Okere In the midst of the uproar over revelations that Libyan nationals are buying and selling migrants as slaves in Libya, Saturday PUNCH has learnt that Nigerians based in the country also sell their fellow countrymen. This emerged as more Nigerians are repatriated by the International Organisation for Migration with the backing of the European Union in an ongoing exercise that has seen 1,295 retrieved from Libya in November alone. Since the beginning of 2017, IOM-facilitated repatriation has brought back 5,578 Nigerian migrants, who were trapped in and outside prisons across Libya. On Thursday night, 150 migrants from mostly Edo and Delta states arrived the country aboard a Buraq Airplane at the cargo terminal of the Murtala International Airport, Lagos. It was two days after 239 migrants had also been brought into the country. Many of the returnees, who were thankful for being back, confirmed to Saturday PUNCH that they were sold by their fellow countrymen, who were getting rich in Libya. One of them, 26-year-old Odion Saliu, a hairdresser from Edo State, said she was kidnapped and handed over to a Nigerian, who forced her to call her mother. According to her, her mother in Benin paid N200, 000 but she was again sold by the same Nigerian for 3,000 dinars (about N794, 000). Saliu explained that the Nigerians spoke Pidgin English and some Nigerian languages. She said, “When I was kidnapped with others and held for some weeks, the Arabs asked if I wanted to be taken to a Nigerian and I readily said yes. I was very happy that I was going to someone from my country. But it was a lie. “The Nigerian they took me to locked me in a cell and told me to call my mother and ask for N60, 000. The man said he would sell me to a connection house if my family did not get the money. I called to inform my mother and the trafficker who facilitated my journey from Nigeria. “But the trafficker spoke with them on the phone and told them the amount they demanded was too small. They increased it to N200, 000. My mother paid into an account after they provided her with the account number over the phone. “The Nigerian said if I wanted to cross the sea, I had to pay him again. But when we got to the seaside, he sold me again.” Another Edo State indigene, Sunday Anyaegbunam, left Nigeria along with his wife in April. He said during their nine-day journey through the desert, they were sold twice by Nigerians. According to him, when their Nigerian “burger” (trafficker) sold them to another set of Libyan traffickers at Agadez, Niger, the traffickers sold him and his wife to a Nigerian who took them to Sabha, Libya, where they were separated in different cells. “We were made to contact our families on the phone and I had to ensure the payment of N400, 000 for my release and N300, 000 for my wife,” Anyaegbunam said. Like others, he could only identify the Nigerians trading in their countrymen in Libya through the Nigerian languages they spoke and their accent. He said, “The Nigerians selling people in Libya are more wicked than many of the Arabs. I have never seen people so heartless as the Nigerians who bought and sold me. “There are many of them in Agadez and Sabha, who are making so much money from selling their own people. But there are other West Africans doing the business too. “When you approach them and say, ‘Please, my brother, help me.’ They would tell you, “No brother in the jungle.” A 25-year-old woman, Esosa Osas, who was in Libya for six months, said she also met many Nigerians selling their countrymen. “You dare not talk to them, else they would beat you and lock you up. They sell women for 5,000 dinars and men for N4, 000 dinars. I noticed that the connection houses were also controlled by Nigerian women.” All these accounts were corroborated by 35-year-old Harrison Okotie who lived in Libya for three years until his repatriation. “Nigerians and Libyans are doing the business like they are one big happy family,” he said. Most of the migrants who arrived Nigeria on Thursday were from Edo State. Officials of the state’s task force on illegal migration were on hand with luxurious buses to transport their people back home. A member of the task force, Mr. Okoduwa Solomon, told Saturday PUNCH that his team had made six such journeys to the airport within the last one month to take their indigenes repatriated from Libya back home. He said, “The first process is to take them through counselling, then we profile them. “After that, we put them in a home that the state government has provided for the returnees. The Edo State Government is paying each of the returnees from the state a stipend. They are going to undergo a training in agriculture, poultry, fishery and others to make them useful to themselves and the system.” Officials of the National Emergency Management Agency coordinate the reception of the returnees at the airport.South West Zonal Coordinator of the agency, Mr. Yakubu Sulaiman, said the returnees would be lodged in a hotel where they would have the chance to clean up before their journey back home. Meanwhile, President, Women Arise and Centre for Change, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, has called on the Federal Government to use all diplomatic channels to prevail on the Libyan authorities to ensure the dignity of our people. She said in a statement on Friday that it was an embarrassment that Nigerians who were treated like royalty in the past were being dehumanised in a foreign land. “We must build a country where our people have opportunities to prosper and lead useful and productive lives and will only travel on leisure and business and not as illegal migrants desperate to live anywhere other than Nigeria,” she said. Over 400,000 Nigerians, others still stranded in Libya –AU Commission Meanwhile, Head, African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, has said that over 400,000 Nigerians and others remain stranded in Libya. Hundreds of thousands more — “400,000 to 700, 000,” according to Mahamat — remain stranded. European and African leaders have set themselves a tall order to stamp out horrific abuse of African migrants, some of them are Nigerians in Libya, where thousands are suffering in a vast, lawless territory. On Thursday, a summit of the African Union and the European Union set a goal of immediately repatriating 3,800 migrants languishing in a camp near Tripoli. But experts pointed to a daunting array of hurdles, from extracting migrants in perilous situations to giving them incentives to stay put when they return home. Even so, the summit’s commitment, initiated by outrage over a CNN television report on black Africans being sold as slaves in Libya, is being welcomed. “It is a step in the right direction,” International Organisation for Migration Europe Director, Eugenio Ambrosi, told Agence France Presse by phone from Brussels. “It is a little bit too much to think it will solve the slavery issue, but it would definitely mitigate (it) to some extent,” Ambrosi said. He said the summit also showed there was now “international watchdog pressure” that could be brought to bear on the criminal gangs, but it must be “sustained.” The drive was announced at a meeting on the summit sidelines organised by French President, Emmanuel Macron. It brought together eight other EU and African countries as well as the AU, EU and United Nations representatives. Macron said the UN-backed Libyan government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj had identified and granted access to the worst camps to enable the returns of people who want to go home. The Macron group also decided to work with a task force, involving the sharing of police and intelligence services, to “dismantle the networks and their financing and detain traffickers,” he said. They pledged to freeze the assets of identified traffickers. The AU is expected to set up an investigative panel and the UN could take cases before the International Court of Justice. Libya calls for campaign against human trafficking The Libyan government has condemned the reported auction of West Africans in its capital Tripoli, noting that the criminal practice was not part of the culture of the Libyan people. It called for an international campaign against illegal migration and demanded an end to “exploitation, the suffering of the ambitious African man looking for better life in Europe and human trafficking right from the country of source.” Speaking on the alleged auction of West Africans in his country at a press conference on Friday in Abuja, the Charge d’Affairs and ambassador-designate, Libyan embassy in Nigeria, Dr. Attia Alkhoder, explained that his government had ordered the relevant agency to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the incident. He said the government was concerned about illegal migration and human trafficking, adding that Libya needed technical and logistical support to control its southern border, which is the major route for illegal migration across the Mediterranean Sea. The diplomat criticised the media for attacking and holding his country responsible for the slaves’ auction, noting that human trafficking and the reported slaves’ auction were done by individuals and not the Libyan authorities. Alkhoder said, “Libya renews its call to put an end to exploitation, the suffering of the ambitious African man looking for better life in Europe and human trafficking. “Libya calls for an international campaign to put an end to this phenomenon by providing security and border control to end the Libyan crisis, unify its government institutions and end the transition system that contributed a lot in the weakening control of territory.” The envoy noted that solving illegal migration was a collective responsibility involving countries of origin, transit and destination. He added that Libya spent a lot of money accommodating immigrants and facilitating their voluntary return to their countries, insisting that curbing illegal migration needed serious coordination of international efforts. Returnees get N100m, 150 hectares of land for farming Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has approved a seed capital of N100m and 150 hectares of land for 150 victims of human trafficking, who recently completed skills acquisition training in the state. Obaseki announced this on Friday during the graduation of the participants of the programme, which was organised by the Edo Agricultural Development Programme in Benin City, the state capital. He also directed the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources to immediately liaise with the relevant authorities towards securing the land for the returnees to commence their agricultural businesses. According to the governor, the beneficiaries would be put under the supervision of the Benin-Owena River Basin Authority and the EADP. Obaseki stressed the need for coordinated efforts to end modern slavery. He stated that the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, marked on December 2 annually by the United Nations, should be seen as a day for deep reflection on how to bring the illicit trade to an end. Obaseki said, “We ordinarily should not be talking about the menace of slavery given the experience we have had. But it is a reality today and we have no choice but to tackle it. “However, it is pertinent to point out the fact that modern-day slavery, in its various forms, such as forced labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking, has no place among us. To effectively abolish slave trade as we have it today, it takes a coordinated, deep-reaching, international coalition that will take into cognisance the various forms of modern-day slavery and compel perpetrators to back down.” He, however, commended the returnees, comprising 51 trained on crop production, 15 on agro-processing, 68 on livestock farming and 52 on fish farming, for participating in the programme. He also urged them to be ambassadors in the state-wide campaign against human trafficking and illegal migration. Earlier, the Programme Manager of the EADP, Mr. Peter Aikhuomobhogbe, commended the state government for initiating the training and expressed optimism that the trainees would put the skills acquired to good use. http://punchng.com/fellow-nigerians-abducted-sold-us-into-slavery-in-libya-returnees/amp

10. Food shortages and mass starvation. Wikimedia /Public Domain Currently there are 7.5 billion people on Earth and by 2050, this figure is going to be 9.6 billion – according to the United Nations. There are still people living in parts of the world who are starving and can’t even receive basic necessities. At the current rate of growth in population, food production has to increase by 70% within the next 30 years. The problem humanity faces is with the required land for cultivating crops in such quantities. Since 1950, the agricultural field has been using fossil fuels to pace production in order to meet the demands. Today, the world is running low on fossil fuels and most cultivable land is affected by soil erosion. Global warming also plays a vital role in this case. The sudden change in climate affects the crops since they are not capable of quickly adapting to it. Experts believe that by 2020, the effects of this will be felt worldwide. By 2050, most of the developing countries will be severely affected by food shortages, riots, political instability and mass pandemonium. https://mind-blowingfacts.com/earth-threats-universe/

9. Vacuum sucks up the universe. Wikimedia /CCO Electron and low intensity hadron accelerators or particle accelerators are machines that accelerate elementary particles, such as electrons or protons, to very high energies. The complex machine could trigger a reaction that adversely changes all matters and laws of physics. The universe contains a true vacuum. Particle accelerators have the potential to disturb this and cause it to suck the whole universe into emptiness. https://mind-blowingfacts.com/earth-threats-universe/

8. A rogue planet that could collide with Earth. jpl.nasa /CCO A research conducted by the UCLA describes a collision that took place 4.5 million years ago. Moon, which is Earth’s natural satellite was formed because of such a collision with a forming planet. Known as Theia, the planet is believed to have collided with Earth at a 45 degree angle, just scraping it. New reports in the UCLA journal Science indicate that such a collision is possible in the near future. Rock samples were brought back to Earth from the Moon by the Apollo 12, 15 and 17 missions. The samples from the Moon as well as six volcanic rocks from the Earth’s mantle were subjected to a series of tests to determine their chemical signatures. German scientists in 2014 reported that the Moon had its own unique ratio of oxygen isotopes, not far different from Earth’s. The chemical signature indicated that the Moon was formed due to a head on collision of Earth with Theia. Throughout recent years, several scientists have come forward suggesting that the idea of a direct collision with another planet is possible. Earth as we know it moves roughly 1.3 million miles per hour. So, such theories regarding collision with another planet might not be false after all. https://mind-blowingfacts.com/earth-threats-universe/

7. A massive solar flare from the red giant. Wikimedia /CCO The Sun is the central and the most vital part in the existence of humanity as well as any living being on Earth. The Sun has existed long before us and will be here long after we are gone. The Sun produces light and heat by the process of nuclear fusion in its core system. Scientists estimate that the Sun will be capable of providing us with light and energy for another 4.5 – 5.5 billion years, before its supply of hydrogen and helium becomes depleted. Just over 4.5 billion years old, our Sun is halfway through its life cycle. In a few billion years, the Sun will produce massive amounts of heat and light. This will create an uninhabitable place to live on Earth. Once it finishes its life cycle, the Sun will become a red giant that will engulf everything in its path – including Earth. https://mind-blowingfacts.com/earth-threats-universe/

6. Mega tsunamis. Tsunamis are created by earthquakes that occur on the ocean bed while Mega tsunamis are created when a large material falls into a body of water. Mega tsunamis are considerably larger than regular tsunamis. The largest one Earth has ever seen occurred 66 million years ago and created a 3.1 mile high wave. The object that led to the creation of this Mega tsunami is believed to be the asteroid that wiped out the entire dinosaur population. The destructive and deadly disaster within the last decade has claimed the lives of more than 300,000 people. Scientists believe that it could still happen where a powerful earthquake or a gigantic asteroid could lead to the doom of humanity. https://mind-blowingfacts.com/earth-threats-universe/
