I told you guys before those Nigeria Army are Zombie.Real Zombie Jorojajoro. God Help Nigeria. Amen

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has voiced his concern at the "emerging pattern of killings" of high profile personalities in Guinea-Bissau, where a presidential candidate and a member of parliament were gunned down today, just months after the country's president and his chief of staff were assassinated.

Mr. Ban is "dismayed" by the news of the assassinations of Baciro Dabo, a candidate in the forthcoming presidential elections, and Helder Proenca, a Member of Parliament and former Minister of Defense, along with others, his spokesperson said in a statement.

Coming so soon after the assassinations in March of President João Bernardo Vieira and his Chief of General Staff, General Batista Tagme Na Waie, "these criminal acts are a tragic setback for efforts to restore the rule of law and democratic processes in the country, but they should not be allowed to deter the forthcoming presidential elections," the statement said.

"These developments underscore once again the importance and urgency of conducting a thorough, credible and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assassinations in Guinea Bissau," it added.
Another Set of Political Killings

Mr. Ban called on national authorities, including the military, to ensure that the human rights of all citizens are upheld and protected.

Today's statement added that the UN will be consulting with national authorities and the International Contact Group on Guinea-Bissau to explore what more needs to be done to end impunity and restore respect for the rule of law in the country.

In a report released last month, Mr. Ban had said that assassinations in March highlighted the need for the West African nation's justice, defence and security sectors to be reformed. The country has struggled in recent decades to combat drug trafficking and organized crime, and also to sustain economic growth and political stability amid a series of civil conflicts, coups d'état and uprisings.

Manchester United leftback Patrice Evra has likened Nigeria's play in Tuesday night's international friendly to Brazil.
"Nigeria, one had the impression that it was Brazil," Evra admitted with some humility after his team were outclassed by a determined Nigeria side combining outrageous skills with physical strength.

Forward Joaan Gourcuff lamented les Blues inability to get the ball off the Nigerians.

"It was difficult to retrieve the ball, we ran a lot but our defense has consistently declined. They have dominated in the physical challenges, but it would have been more difficult if we had a better defence."

Captain Patrick Vieira added that the French were second to most balls.

"With Alou (Diarra), we arrived late every time."

As for coach Raymond Domenech, his relief was evident.

"I am pleased that this is not a match with three points," Domenech declared.

Benin — OVER one thousand five hundred indigenes of Edo State who were on their way to Europe through Libya without genuine documents have been languishing in detention in Libya in the past three months.

Six of the women among them, were said to have been impregnated by the Libyan security operatives.

One of the victims, who identified himself as Charles Erawuyi, lamented to Vanguard on telephone yesterday that they were arrested while trying to enter Europe through Libya . He explained that over three thousand of them, including citizens of Kenya and Mali, were arrested but their governments have intervened to secure their release while only Nigerians remained in jail.

He said that among the Nigerians, one thousand five hundred of them are from Edo State and that six of the women amongst them have been impregnated by the Libyan security operatives who used the ladies to satisfy their sex urge.

But the state government through the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Foreign Matters-Diaspora, Mr Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, and a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Samson Osagie, described the plight of the victims as wicked and inhuman, saying the state government would do all it could to liaise with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to secure their release.

According to Ehiozuwa, " the Comrade governor is very concerned about the situation because we found out that majority of them are from Edo State.

We have already made contact with the Federal Government to see what we can do to secure their urgent release. It is also sad to know that some of the girls have been impregnated.

That is very bad and it is unacceptable. We will not only seek for their release, we will also ensure that those who are involved in such inhuman treatment are punished.

"But we want to advise our people to stop rushing outside the country without genuine papers. The Comrade governor has put every thing in place to make the state more comfortable for the people. They should stay and apply for jobs because jobs are being created".

We want to say that it is not rosy out there, instead of going without genuine papers, we will advise that they look for what to do in the country.

"The Comrade Governor is seriously concerned about the plight of our people out there and he is reaching out to the Federal agencies to see what we can do. We cannot afford to allow our people perish out there" he stated.

On his part, Mr Osagie hinted that "I and some members of the House of Representatives will be going to Libya in the third week of this month to see what we can do to secure their release. The situation is very sad, though I learnt that the girls have been deported back already. We will go and secure the release of the men because no matter how we see it they are Nigerians"

Former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday in Abuja admonished Nigerians to look into the future and move beyond the 2007 general elections.
He also re-echoed President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s servant-leader stance, saying in a democracy, elected leaders are servants and not bosses.
Powell spoke at an international conference put together by Tell newsmagazine to celebrate 10 years of democracy in Nigeria at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
“Don’t be tied to the elections of 1999, 2003 and 2007. Focus on the future. You must remove the residues of the past and build the future,” he said.
He said: “elected leaders are servants in a democracy but not bosses. American democracy is driven by performance.”
Powell was also a special guest at THISDAY Africa Rising Music Festival last year in Washington DC where he endorsed Barack Obama for US presidency.
For democracy to flourish, he said the people must be free and allowed to form political organisations that argue and battle in the field of ideas unmolested and unhindered.
He said: “You cannot grow democracy that does not have opposing point of view; people must be allowed to organise political organisations that argue, that shout, that fight with each other not in the battle field but in the field of ideas. When a ruling party thinks there is no need for the other party’s view, then you are already out of democracy and back into tyranny.
“Democracy must have elections that are honest, transparent without corruption without anybody buying votes; without any big man or godfather pushing people around. The government and its leaders are obliged to be good stewards of the endowment of the people’s right and the wealth of the nation. It is a solemn obligation, an obligation in which you take an oath.”
Recalling his career in the military in which he rose to a four-star General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through hard work, Powell disclosed that even with that status he lacked the authority to unilaterally send a single soldier to the battle field without the orders of the Defence Secretary who is appointed by the President elected by the people.
“I was responsible for 3 million troops, the most powerful military command on the face of the earth, but the truth of the matter was I did not have the authority to move a single soldier to the battle field. I did not have the authority to commit military forces to battle. I was just a servant of a government that has been elected by the people. I could only give orders at the instance of the Secretary of Defence,” said Powell.
He described democracy as a culture which had been imbibed even by the military, adding that as head of the military, soldiers could defy his order if they knew it was illegal. Powell advised Nigerians to break loose from the past and focus on the future as the past can’t be changed. Speaking earlier, the Special Guest of Honour, President Yar’Adua, who was represented by Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan, noted that it takes time for democracies to take root, saying older democracies did not achieve success in one fell swoop.
He said: “Older democracies did not achieve their success in one fell swoop. It was one amendment after the other, year by year, decade after decade. Today some of them are centuries old. Democracy is the rule of the majority with an eye on protecting the minority. While we will continue to redress the flaws in our democracy step by step and amendment after amendment, we will do so with an eye on creating a perfect union. While we don’t have to wait for centuries to correct the observed imperfections in our democracy, it is a matter of great urgency and utmost patriotism that we must work earnestly to make sure votes count and those who get elected are the true representatives of the people.”
Touching on the report of the Justice Muhammed Uwais Electoral Reform Committee (ERC), the vice-president said the ball was in the court of the National Assembly and that the President lacked the power to impose laws on the people.
“An interesting thing is when the National Assembly puts a section of the Uwais report aside, nobody is mobilisng two million march against them, the fact is we will continue to call on Nigerians that there is no need to quarrel over the report because in a presidential democracy the President does not have power to impose laws on Nigerians. Everything ends with the National Assembly,” he said.
In his opening remarks, the Chairman of the occasion and former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, spoke against any form of extra constitutional change of government and stressed the need for the sustenance of democracy.

Rise of a New Lagos City

LAGOS, Nigeria, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The official website of Eko Atlantic, a brand new city that will be built on land that is being reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Victoria Island in Lagos, has been launched on the internet as part of an evolving strategy of marketing and communications to promote the large-scale development project.

Eko Atlantic covers an area of more than 9 square kilometres of sea that is being turned into valuable land for sale. Strips of sand have already emerged along parts of Bar Beach, rolling back decades of severe coastal erosion that once threatened Victoria Island itself.

"This is a thoroughly properly conceived engineering solution to nature's challenge," says Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, who praises the project in a video clip on the new website.

Lagos is the biggest and fastest growing city in West Africa and is projected to become a city-state of 25 million people by the year 2015. Eko Atlantic city, says the Governor, is an integral part of that mega city vision. "I was persuaded not only by its merits but also its benefits."

The vast marine works to reclaim land for Eko Atlantic and the construction of a new sea wall will take six years to complete. "We have a unique opportunity here," says David Frame, Managing Director of the development company, South Energyx. "It will establish a vibrant 21st century city here in the heart of Africa. We believe it will assist in establishing Lagos as the financial capital of Africa."

A new Eko Atlantic branding logo, depicting a modern skyline along a coastal sweep, will be revealed for the first time on the newly launched interactive website.

The developers will further raise Eko Atlantic's profile and will broadcast its logo on television screens watched by millions of soccer fans during the Nigeria v France friendly soccer match on Tuesday, June 2.

Eko Atlantic is a match sponsor for the Super Eagles game and its logo and website address will feature on prominent, pitch-side advertising panels in the French stadium throughout the game.

Guy Check Out the Video In the Website.Wow Amazing.I bet Lagos will soon Be Dubai of Africa.South Africa will be Jealousy of the Project if completed.

My friend did it twice for his girlfriend and he was turn down and fool around, He can cry like a baby.Oh my God this guy can cry and it is so embarrassing to see a guy cry in front of his girlfriend and what pain me most the girl just left I really don't understand what the girl means when she left, Can any girl tell me what is the reasoning why she left the guy when he was crying.

Yola — Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu, yesterday apologised on behalf of millions of his compatriots in South Africa for last year's xenophobic attacks on other Africans, including Nigerians, resident in the country, describing it as "a totally shameless thing to do."

Tutu, who gave the convocation address at the first convocation ceremony of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola said South Africa owed Nigeria a lot of debt because it led the struggle against Apartheid as the Chair of the Committee on Apartheid of the United Nations. "We showed that we are ungrateful. Forgive us", he said.

The clergy, who was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at the ceremony, lamented the poverty, epidemic and war in different countries in the continent and asked the poignant question: "Would you advise anyone to invest in Africa? A continent that has one President indicted by the ICC? A king in Swaziland who seems to know nothing about democracy? A continent where one country is just recovering from genocide? Look at what is happening in DRC, in Zimbabawe?"

According to him, "South Africa is the epicentre of HIV/AIDs. Can you believe it, that 1, 000 people die of AIDs in South Africa every day? That is like three jumbo jets crashing every day. Can you imagine that? We can count the countries of which we should be genuinely proud in Africa."

Pointing at the graduands, he said passionately: "You have a huge responsibility to make Africa viable, with transparent, accountable government. Whenever I go to Dubai, to Qatar I get really jealous. They have been fanstastic with their oil revenue, providing housing, education, medical care, for their people.

"Why is it not possible for oil-rich African countries to do the same? Why is it not possible for Nigeria to do the same? We must have accountable leaders.

"We can't have leaders who hold unto power until you get a government of national unity because they refuse to accept defeat. Africa, Africa, wake up. We have wonderful people. Let this continent make God proud."

He also offered what he called "A little encouragement", saying, those who criticise Africa have a very short memory.

"Have you forgotten the holocaust? Have you forgotten the gulads in Russia? Communism, Nascism, Fascism did not come from Africa. They were European inventions. Your history gives us hope. A western country was the first to use weapons of mass destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those countries have been able to rise. Africa, there is hope," he assured.

President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, who was represented by the Minister of Education, Dr. Sam Egwu, congratulated the founder of the institution, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, for the full accreditation of all the programmes of the four-year old university by the National Universities Commission (NUC)
