A Nigerian teen has become the youngest black female to ever fly from one end of America to the other known in aviation parlance as cross country flight. Kimberly Anyadike whose parents are Nigerians broke the U.S. record and entered into the record books when she flew flew a single-engine Cessna cross-country from her hometown of in California to Newport Virginia. Anyadike also became the youngest African American female pilot to complete the journey, which took 13 days.

Anyadike learned to fly at age 12 through the Compton-based Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum, which offers aviation lessons in an after-school program for disadvantaged youths. It was their plane that she flew on her cross-country trip.

The brave teenager came up with the idea for the trip on her own, the museum’s founder Robert Petgrave. “I told her it was going to be a daunting task, but she just said, ‘Put it on. I got big shoulders,’” Petgrave said. Along for the historic ride were an adult safety pilot and 87-year-old Levi Thornhill, one of the Tuskeegee Airmen during World War II.

“They left such a great legacy,” Anyadike said of the American all-black combat unit. “I had big shoes to fill. All they wanted to do was to be patriots for this country. They were told no, that they were stupid, that they didn’t have cognitive development to fly planes. They didn’t listen. They just did what they wanted to do.” About 50 Tuskeegee Airmen autographed the young pilot’s plane during her journey. “I wanted to inspire other kids to really believe in themselves,” Anyadike said.

President Umaru Yar’Adua has expressed dismay over the manner Nigerians have reacted to American President, Barack Obama perceived cold shudder to Nigeria, the acclaimed giant of Africa, during his recent visit to the continent disclosing that he (Obama) consulted him 24 hours before embarking on the visit.

Yar’Adua made this disclosure yesterday at the public presentation of three books written by the Governor of Imo State, Okedi Godson Ohakim at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, where he praised the governor’s “dynamic leadership to the people.”

The books are Pushing the Limits, The Courage to Challenge and Challenging New Frontiers.
Yar’Adua, who spoke through the External Affairs Minister, Chief Ojo Madueke stated that, even Obama reconfirmed Nigeria as the undisputable giant of Africa when he said, “whichever way goes Nigeria, goes Africa,” pointing out that, the import of Obama’s admittance of Nigeria’s leadership position in Africa was that, Nigeria should try to sanitise its electoral processes to be able to lead the way.

“It means Nigeria must be alive to its responsibility as a leader because the stake is very high, and because when Nigeria goes down, Africa goes with it,” Yar’Adua emphasised.
Against this background, Mr. President noted: “We won’t wait till we are told what to do by outsiders. So, we have been talking to ourselves. We appreciate your anxiety and we will not disappoint you. But let us step confidently into the future to actualise our destiny and improve our capacity to confront all agents of corruption.”

The President praised Ohakim for putting governance into proper perspective through three books, reminding that, “history would be fair to only those who writes it.
While taking swipe at perceived enemies of the administration, Yar’Adua said his government would not be distracted by the antics of those he described as, “intellectual hitmen,” who, he said were so lazy that they did not know the name of their local government chairman and who could not hassle for power.
Also speaking at the event, the Chairman on the occasion and Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III described the Imo State chief executive as “a builder of understanding across bridges of all the geo-political zones in the country,” expressing delight that, Ohakim has been rendering developmental services to his people.

The Sultan, who was represented by the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahya Abubakar, however, enjoined leaders to rule with the fear of God, reminding them that, “one day, all of us will stand before our creator to render account of our stewardship on earth.”

The Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, who was represented by the Minister of Education, Dr. Sam Egwu also described the author of three books as, “a man of vision and courage,” stating emphatically that, “it is rare for a single person to combine the two special attributes.”
The Chief host and Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola also said that, “writing three books at a go is no mean achievement,” saying the books present the much needed vision for the country.
His words: “You have enriched the discourse on the Nigerian political evolution front. You have contributed specific road map to the development of this country as well as increasing global literature to educate Nigerians beyond this day.”

Former Foreign Affairs Minister, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, while reviewing the books described the author as “an incurable optimist,” pointing out that, “he (Ohakim) still believes that Nigeria can still wake up from its slumber and move forward.”
In his response, Governor Ohakim expressed delight in the array of dignitaries who graced the occasion, saying, being a governor was not as important to him as being able to make a change through selfless service.

According to him, the success of a country depended mainly on the courage of the leadership to effect a change and the cooperation of the followership with the leadership to effect the much needed change.
Ohakim observed that the change was difficult because some people have been leading a life of illegality, lamenting that, their unwillingness to change has been the bane of the nation.
He, therefore, charged Nigerians to re-brand themselves and partner with the leadership to salvage the country together, just as he enjoined the media to help out admitting that, “the fate of this country is in the hand of the media.”

Present at the well attended event were the Senate President, David Mark, who unveiled the books, Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Senator Arthur Nzeribe, Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Publishing Company, Mr Mike Awoyinfa and his deputy, Mr Dimgba Igwe, Champion Newspapers publisher, Chief Emmanuel Iwanyawu, former Lagos Military Governor, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Obong of Calabar, the Royal Father of the day, His Royal Highness, Eze (Dr.) C.I Ilomuanya among other dignitaries.

ABUJA — LEADER of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), Mr. Henry Okah, who was freed by the Federal Government, Monday, has declared that his release from detention will not change the situation in Niger Delta unless the Federal Government addressed the root cause of the crisis in the region.

Okah in an exclusive interview with Vanguard, yesterday, said he saw hell in detention for one year and five months.
Excerpts of the interview:

How do you feel being a free man?

I really have not thought about it, but I don’t feel much different because I knew this would come. I knew it would come to this point. ‘Militants not fighting for me’

How would your release impact on the violence in the Niger Delta?

One thing I know is that those fighting in the Niger Delta are not fighting for nothing and I don’t think they were fighting for my release.

That is not the main issue. As long as the main issues are not resolved, I don’t see how the problems in the Niger will just go.

Besides the amnesty, what else do you expect the Federal Government to do to ensure a lasting peace there?

My brother, I don’t know.

I really don’t know. (Laughs). I really don’t know what to tell you. As you know, I am just coming out. And you know, I have not met anybody. I have not spoken to anybody. And I will rather do that before I start talking,

You must have heard that before your release, some militants bombed the Lagos Atlas Cove Jetty. How do you feel about that?

I don’t know what to say. But I know certainly that whoever did that must have had his reasons. I will have to examine the reasons before I can come to a conclusion.

Do we expect a rethink of strategy in the Niger Delta now that you have been released?

Like I told you, my detention was not the problem. So, not much will change. Except the Federal Government does something about the problem in the area.

Do you hope to speak with the leadership of MEND now that you are a free man on the way forward?

Like I said, I am very tired, I am ill. I will need to be given some time to rest and all that before I can really say anything.

Now I am speaking with you because I have to speak with you. But if you really want me to really talk, I will have to take some time and recover. I will need to go first for surgery and all that.

Through your lawyer, we heard you were very ill. Can you give us an insight into what health problem you have?

It was really inconvenient. ‘I was in solitary confinement for 1 yr, 5 months’

Were you ever brutalised in detention?

No, but you see, there are different forms of torture. I was subjected to different kinds of torture you know. Let me explain how I was held. I was held in a cell without a window. I had no access to any kind of light. I wasn’t allowed to exercise myself.

I wasn’t allowed visitors. No phone calls. No newspapers, nothing. I was just held like that for one year and five months. I was there 24 hours a day, seven days a week for one year and five months.

When was the first time you saw a lawyer?

It was in March

Have you got in touch with your family in South Africa?

Yes, that was the first thing I did. I got in touch with them and we have been talking.

‘It’ll be immature to respond to Asari’

One last question. Asari Dokubo, your comrade in the struggle has been saying a lot of things about you during your incarceration. How do you intend to relate with him henceforth?

I cannot start responding to everybody. There were a lot of people everywhere saying various things, including people who were irrelevant to the situation as far as I know. For me to answer all of them, I will be very immature.

The stage is set for possible confrontation between the government of President Umaru Yar’Adua and the House of Representatives as members, yesterday spat fire, threatening to rekindle the flame of impeachment over his failure to fully implement the 2009 budget.

In no distant time, the House agreed after accepting the report of its Appropriation and Finance Committees on the implementation of the 2009 Budget that it would invoke its constitutional powers against the president.

Although reference was not made to Section 143 of the 1999 Constitution that has to do with impeachment of the president, the House agreed that there was no excuse on the part of the president not to implement the budget as signed into law.
Members were unanimous that the report of the two committees put a lie to the claims by the Federal Government that the 2009 Appropriation Act cannot be fully implemented on account of dwindling revenue.

Through the report, it was discovered that between January and April 2009, the Federal Government raked in N27.98billion, a figure higher than what was projected in the budget, despite the concomitant effects of the disruptions on oil production and crude export by militants in the Delta region.
“Even with shortfall in revenue due to militant activities in the Niger Delta region, leading to reduction in daily output from targeted 2.292mbd to about 2.05mbd and reduction in OPEC quota, government was able to surpass the projection to the tune of N27.98 billion.
“Given the above therefore, enough funds were available for full implementation of the budget as passed for the period under review,” the report stated.

Presenting the report signed by Hon Ayo Adeseun and Hon John Enoh, chairmen of Appropriation and Finance committees respectively, Adeseun deputy, Hon Andrew Uchendu stated that about N119.12 was drawn to argument the shortfall in Federation Account and federal government’s share of this amounted to N51.79 billion, while the sales of government houses and other transfers totalling N127.37 billion made money to be available for full implementation of the budget.

Opening the season of condemnation for not keeping to the rule of law, as far as the implementation of the 2009 Appropriation Act was concerned, Hon Halims Agoda noted with regret that the budget designed to address key issues of infrastructural development was been implemented peace meal.

“The Executive has no choice but to implement the budget, the money realized in the period under review showed that there was no reason not to implement the 2009 budget,” he said.
In his contribution, Hon Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi noted that based on the report of the Appropriation and Finance committee, the President should realized that the Appropriation Act is an act of the National Assembly that should be obeyed.

Hon Ubale Kiru said that selecting the budget for implementation by the Executive was not only illegal, but against the constitution, noting that such a trend must be checked by the Parliament.
Leader of Opposition, Ali Ndume berated the PDP led government for not living up to its claim of rule of law, saying that the Appropriation Act is a law of the National Assembly accented to by the president.
Chairman, Rules and Business Committee, Ita Enang said that the excuse of the government for not implementing the budget as passed into law was not tenable as there was no shortfall in revenue projections.

Briefing newsmen after the plenary session, Hon Ali Ndume, supported by his deputy, Hon Suleiman Kawu and the Minority Whip, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila hailed the resolution of the House saying it was a mark of patriotism among members.
“The decision of the House is a move on the right direction. This country belongs to all of us whether you belong to the ruling party or the opposition. We are not threatening the president with impeachment, we hope it did not get to that but if he fails to listen, then we have no option that ton impeach him. No one is above the law,” Ndume said.

Hon Gbajabiamila asked Nigerians to know that it was the Executive that is slowing down the pace of development by not implementing the budget, adding that the Parliament should not be blamed in their resolve to defend the constitution.
The House had on Wednesday, May 13 2009 mandated the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Finance to look into the implementation of the 2009 Appropriation Act and report back within two weeks

AS other political office holders struggle to retain their seats in the forthcoming election, the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi, has declared that he would not contest for second term.

Amaechi said he preferred going back to academics (university) and have peace of mind than continuing in political office.

The governor, who disclosed this yesterday at the Government House, Port Harcourt, during a stakeholders' meeting, said his mission was to develop the state and after that take his rest.

Amaechi, who disclosed that some political office holders tended to do with the aim of being re-elected, declared that Rivers' people should not vote for him if he contested for second term.

The governor, however, maintained that he is determined to ensure total change in the state before he leaves office.

Just as relevant associations and agencies in the Information and Technology (IT) sector are clamouring for Subscribers Identity Module(SIM) registration, Nigeria would soon be calling for the harmonization of all identity cards of its citizenry.

In the nearest future, every ID card irrespective of the organisation or agency that issued it would be harmonized just like the Social Insurance Security number, which is a unique identification number for every citizen in Europe. Similarly, ID cards like driver’s licence, National ID card, National Pension Commission cards (PENCOM) and others would be conbined into one ID card.

According to Daily Sun’s source who spoke under anonymity, the harmonization is basically to pave way for a new identification number that would be unique to each individual as well as be a preventive measure against fraud and other miscellaneous offences.

The idea of documenting the identity of Nigerians and non-citizens in terms of biographic data has been a major source of concern to government dating back to the early years after independence. Although no significant efforts were made during the colonial era, for obvious reasons, the first major effort aside from population census exercises, was heralded or initiated in 1978 by the then military government. In the following year, Decree 51 was promulgated, establishing the Department of National Civic Registration (DNCR) charged with the responsibility of implementing the programme.

The programme was basically to register all citizens of Nigeria who at the commencement of the Decree have attained or who thereafter will attain age of 18, and issue to every person so registered, a National Identity Card (NIC). Government’s primary objective was to use the programme as an effective tool of control of illegal immigrants in the country, validation of other civic documents such as the travelling passports, setting up a reliable personal identification system for the purpose of securing commercial transactions with financial institutions.

“In February this year, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) appointed a consortium of SageMetrics and Advanced Management Technologies Ltd. to conduct its Harmonisation Assessment Study (HAS); a project central to NIMC’s task of harmonising and integrating the identity databases of government agencies as provided in the NIMC Act 23, of 2007.

“The project was completed in three months and it served as an important input to the work of the Harmonisation and Integration Committee that was constituted by the commission,” the source said.
He disclosed that the consortium, had a member of the former President Bush’s National Identity Assurance ICT Committee, Mr. Ken Nwabueze, and a member of the Yar’Adua’s presidential implementation committee on political reform, Dr. Steve Dike, as technical partners/consultants. They conducted the study, which was supported by NIMC work groups, that was also made up of largely engineers and systems analysts in the Identity Database Department of the commission.

The primary objective of the study was to ascertain the differences and gaps in processes and procedures towards developing a harmonisation and integration policy that would help put in place a unified and codified set of processes and procedures for data collection and management. This is an essential precondition for the development of a shared platform that will enable the agencies optimise the use of their access to the National Identity Database and enhance service delivery.

NIMC recently announced that it had commenced the development of a fibre optic access link to more than 14 government agencies and its state offices preparatory to providing access to the institutions and also eliminating sources of human errors; a major source of concern in the previous efforts at registering Nigerians for the harmonization scheme.

The head of management team, Chris Onyemenam, noted that the NIMC was pleased with the pace of work. While adding that with the steady progress in the implementation of the contract for the creation of the fibre optic link to the institutions, NIMC was poised to enhance service delivery across government agencies when the Verification Infrastructure System is eventually made available on schedule.

The NIMC Act, which in Section 32(1) of 2007 provides for the repeal of the National Civic Registration Act also provides for the introduction of a chip based technology-the General Multi-Purpose Card (GMPC). And incorporating unique process of registration and enrolment of demographic and biometric data of registrable persons under the Act towards the establishment of a national identity database, harmonization and integration of the existing identification databases in government agencies and issuance of unique personal identification numbers.

IT analysts in Nigeria have lauded the initiative but as stakeholders, they all wondered if harmonization of ID cards in Nigeria would work effectively, the way it was known to have succeeded in European countries.

Opebi Adeyinka stressed that it may go down the drain, owing to the Nigerian factors but if the government was serious about it, apart from serving as fraud checkers, it is used mostly to claim certain social benefits from the government, among other things, through the individual’s unique number.

• “Let us prepare for Nigeria without oil”,

Jun 2, 2009 - Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Tuesday stressed the need for Nigeria to begin to diversify her economy saying it is time to begin to think of a Nigeria without oil.

Governor Fashola who spoke in his office while playing host to family members of the nation’s first Minister of Information, late Chief TOS Benson who paid hin an Appreciation Visit at the State House, Ikeja, said the nation should be more proactive rather than reactive in response to the rapid investments being made the world over in search of alternatives to oil as an energy source.

According to him, “Nigeria should begin to look at the real economy that tourism represents, to begin to diversify our income and employment generation sources away from oil and all of the traditional areas, especially at a time when I see great challenges for oil”.

The Governor suggested the development of what he called a consistent six month Tourism and Cultural Festival Calendar for the country covering known festivals and Tourism destinations like the Eyo Festival in Lagos State, Ikogosi in Ekiti State, Olumo in Ogun State, and Yankari and Argungu festivals, adding that this will signify the nation’s readiness to begin to look at the real economic potentials that Tourism represents.

Commending the recently held Eyo Festival in Lagos in honour of late Chief TOS Benson as a trail blazer in this direction, Governor Fashola said “I think as a people, we must become proactive rather than reactive to prepare for Nigeria without oil as from today and if the Eyo Festival has sent a strong signal that Lagos is ready to lead that off, I think that we are proud to have been the pioneers in some measurable corporate terms of that signal”.

The Governor said the last Eyo Festival also sent a strong message that the Public Service is a noble service, adding that this was the message the State Government successfully sent out in honouring the late elder statesman and eminent Lagosian.

“It is important to reinforce the message as we begin to rediscover ourselves again and as we lay new charges for ourselves that public service is a noble service and that every life that is positively touched by public service will forever remember all of those who played some role in changing our lives”, he said.

Warning that nothing should be done to change the status and character of the Tafawa Balewa Square venue of the festival, Governor Fashola declared, “The venue is one that holds a long history and origins and character of the people of Lagos. It used to be a famous Race Course.
