“We understand the hopes of Nigerians, we understand

We will not change that,” he said.

Ohaneze Ndi Igbo i hope you are hearing. Whosoever that is found culpable in this matter in our law court will definitely go to jail. That is why i kept saying your reaction when this matter came up was too hasty. You ought to have kept your cool and do some investigation instead of impugning your integrity/ reputation. Forgery anywhere in the world is a criminal offence and if any of our Senior citizens in law making is involved in such an act must be meant to serve maximum term as prescribed by the law of the land. How can the Law makers turn to Law breakers if this story is anything to go by. Nigerians are the cause of what is happening in the National Assembly. How can People like Theorde Orji and all his likes be in the senate. Senate and Federal House of Representatives are not meant for people with questionable characters, criminals who after embezzling the money meant for their states ran to Senate to protect their wealth. There is need to amend our constitution to reflect that any person (s) who have served in a capacity of Governor shall not contest for the position of Senate or House of Representative till after a period to be determined by the law. We have so many rotten eggs in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I am crying for this boy. This is hatred for your own child. Many couples have been looking for child since they married. Many have gone to the best hospital in the world to know what is going on. Thanks for the hospital who provided care without money.
Am one of them looking for children yet I can't buy.

So long they would send corrupt politicians both past and present to jail, I am with the military aces from root to branch. The army should stop-with the terrorisation of civilian as has been the in-thing since way back. They should also learn to stop to beat up policemen – which escalate into Army/Police tension plenty times over, in the past.#TEAMCHANGE


SEND the corrupt officer back to home.

There are strong indications that the newly appointed service chiefs will embark on a far reaching reorganisation within the three services of the Armed Forces. Security personnel, who confided in one of our correspondents on Friday, said that the changes might come not later than the next one week. The new service chiefs are Chief of Defence Staff, Maj.Gen. Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin; Chief of Army Staff, Maj.Gen. T.Y. Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar. It was learnt that there had been apprehension in the military since the announcement of the change in leadership in the military in Monday. It was gathered that the appointments had elicited mixed reactions from military personnel especially the officers cadre because some officers who did not ‘have juicy appointments’ are expecting better postings while those in such positions are looking forward to retaining them. It was further learnt that the new chiefs would not delay in effecting the expected changes because of the need to put together a team of senior military officers to pursue their respective visions for the three services. The changes, it was gathered, would affect the various General Officers Commanding, the Air Officers Commanding, and the Flag Officer Commanding of the services. It was further learnt that the shake-up would also affect Directors, field commanders and others occupying strategic positions in the services. The source said, “It is not only about a directive to reposition the military. When there is a change in command, this must happen. It would not be delayed and should not be later than a week. “There must be major changes involving the GCOS, commanders, commandant of tri-service formations, air officers, and flag officers commanding in the next one week. “The new chiefs are not supposed to waste time. They must work with their loyalists. “Naturally, some very senior officers in the same course with the service chiefs would go with them while chances would be created for others in the tri-service institutions. “All those who are leaving must be replaced; there can’t be a vacuum, posting must come.” Another source, who spoke on the issue, said that the expected changes were inevitable. The source stated that it was the norm in the military for the service chiefs to appoint their loyalists, reshuffle officers just the same way the President replaced the service chiefs he inherited from Jonathan. Investigations showed that the Nigerian Army headquarters’ 11 departments and six divisions will be affected by the impending shake-up. These are the Directorate of Army Policy and Plans: Directorate of Army Training and Operations; Directorate of Army logistics; Directorate of Army Administration; Directorate of Army Standards and Evaluation; and the Directorate of Civil Military Affairs. Other departments of the Army to be affected are: Directorate of Nigerian Army Welfare Limited/GTE; Army Transformation and Innovation Centre; Nigerian Army Military Secretary; Legal Service; and the Directorate of Army Public Relations. The Army divisions that may be affected are 1 Division; 2 Division; 3 Division; 81 Division; 82 Division; and 7 Division. Also to be affected are the seven service headquarters of the Nigerian Air Force, its four commands and 13 Direct Reporting Units. The seven branches of the service headquarters are: Policy; Operations; Engineering; Log and Comms; Administration, Evaluation and Air Secretary. The Commands of the Nigerian Air Force that may be affected by the shake-up are: Tactical Air Command; Mobility Command; Training Command; and Logistics Command. The DRUs, by virtue of their functions, report directly to NAF Headquarters. The units are: Nigerian Air Force Holding Company; Air Force Institute of Technology; National Air Defence Corp; Presidential Air Fleet (101 PAF); Aeromedical Centre (102 AMC); Pay and Accounting (103 PAG); Pesonnel Management Group (104 PMG); and NAF Camp Abuja (106 NAF Camp Abuja). Others are: NAF Camp Abuja (107 NAF Camp Lagos); NAF Hospital Abuja (108 NAFH); Special Investigation Group (109 SIG); Aeronautical Engineering and Technical Services Ltd (AETSL); and Quick Response Force (QRF). For the Nigerian navy, its eight Command Headquarters are also expected to be affected by the shake-up. The naval command structure involves the Naval Headquarters; the Western Naval Command; the Eastern Naval Command; Central Naval Command; and the Naval Training Command. Others are the Logistics Command, the Autonomous Command and the NN Air Arm. Reacting to the planned shake-up, a former Director of Procurement in the Defence Headquarters and a Fellow of War College, Brig.-Gen. Ayodele Ojo, described it as normal. He said the new service chiefs would naturally want to bring in people they think could do the job. He said, “It is customary that when new service chiefs are appointed, it is usually followed with changes down the line particularly at the top echelon. “The new service chiefs will want to bring on board officers of like mind that will be able to implement and carry out their operational and strategic directives. That explains why it is necessary to effect changes at the top level of command. “Similarly, for effective command and control by the service chiefs, it is expected that all officers senior to them are supposed to go on voluntary retirement. In the case of the Army, all officers of Regular 28 and above and their equivalent counterparts should proceed on retirement.” A security analyst, Ben Okezie, asked the new Chief of Army Staff, to restore discipline and restructure the army, noting that indiscipline had eaten deep into the armed forces. According to him, soldiers no longer have respect for senior officers and this, he said, had permeated every sector of the security forces. Okezie advised the CAS to look into the welfare of his officers and men, noting that this was neglected by the past security chiefs. Also speaking, a retired Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav, said he expects the new military chiefs to restructure the army and weed out redundant hands and those he described as mercenaries. Tsav challenged the COAS to focus seriously on the war against insurgency which he said the sacked service chiefs failed to do. But a retired senior military officer, Col. Tony Nyiam, called for caution. He said the shake-up should not be used to intimidate officers. Nyiam said, “Yes, they need it (shake-up) to change and bring in people, but this must not be a witch-hunt. We have dead woods, but there should be no intimidation based on ethnicity because the usual thing is to see people use such as an excuse to put their own people in and remove others.” In a related development, President Muhammadu Buhari may not hire mercenaries to prosecute the war against Boko Haram insurgents, Saturday PUNCH has learnt. It was gathered that the President had been assessing the war against terrorism since his assumption of office and had come to the conclusion that Nigerian military could defeat the insurgents without mercenaries. A top security source, who confided in Saturday PUNCH, said, “The President considers it as a national honour for our military to handle the crisis without interventions from foreign armies. “He was in the Nigerian army and he knows what it can do. He believes if the military is properly equipped, it can defeat the insurgents.” When contacted, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said the Federal Government had not talked about hiring South African mercenaries to fight against the Boko Haram sect. Adesina, in an interview with one of our correspondents on Thursday, said he would not be able to comment on what the government had not talked about. “This administration has not talked about that (hiring South African mercenaries to fight against Boko Haram sect). So, I cannot comment on something that has not been talked about,” he simply said. It will be recalled that Buhari, on May 18, while hosting the National Executive Council of the Arewa Consultative Forum, expressed disappointment with the way the military handled the war against insurgency in the North East. According to Buhari, Nigerian soldiers needed not wait for South Africans before confronting Boko Haram insurgents and winning the war in parts of the North- East. “The military has never been so incapacitated like now. It is a shame that the Military cannot secure 14 out of the 774 local governments in the country. “What is more worrisome is the fact that Nigeria’s military has to rely on South African mercenaries before it could gain recent success in the war against Boko Haram. This situation is shameful and unacceptable. “My administration will concentrate on three major areas on assumption of office that is insecurity, the economy/ unemployment and corruption. We will ensure we nip insecurity in the bud. “A situation where people live above their earnings will not be tolerated” http://www.punchng.com/news/service-chiefs-plan-massive-changes/

Six-year-old Promise Eboye, should not be alive, at least
going by the four gory looking stab injuries on his back. The
boy survived an attack that would have killed even an adult
had the injuries been sustained in vital parts of the body.
Promise, a bright and sharp boy lives with his mother and
step-father in Kollington area of Ijaiye, Lagos, while his
biological father lives in Benin, Edo State.
At about 8am on Monday, Promise’s mother, Comfort,
stabbed her son four times, inflicting life-threatening
injuries on the boy’s body.
The broken bottle the woman used on her son tore into the
boy’s flesh inflicting one three-inch injury and another two-
inch injury on the boy’s back. Two other wounds looked
equally horrific but were not as long and deep as the other
two.
Neighbours said if Promise had not run away from his
mother, who held tight to his wrist and stabbed him as he
screamed, he would have been stabbed to death.
What manner of crime could such a young boy have
committed, people who witnessed the scene have asked.
On Wednesday, our correspondent visited the woman’s
house on Olawoyin Street. The story that Promise, his
neighbours and the hospital workers told could only be
described as incredible.
Promise, who seems to have a remarkable memory, told
Saturday PUNCH that his mother has a “N30 cane”, which
she uses to flog him, even when he had no idea what he
had done wrong. He said she would sometimes beat him till
he could not walk.
“My mother is wicked,” Promise said simply, quietly. As
shocking as that sounded, coming from a six-year-old, it
explained the kind of treatment the boy had been
experiencing in the hands of his mother.
Promise said he had been living with his father in Edo State
since he was one year old. But when he was five, his
mother came to take him from his father’s house.
The boy said, “I was sweeping the day she came. I did not
know her as my mother. My father then told me that she
was my mother and she had come to take me to Lagos.
“When we came to Lagos, I started to live with her and my
step-father. But she beat me all the time.”
Asked what happened on Monday to make his mother stab
him, Promise said he tripped and fell.
He said, “When I fell, my mother asked me what pushed me
and why I fell. She was angry and went to take her N30
cane. When she was beating me too much and I was
screaming, one of our neighbours came to hold her hand to
take the cane away from her. The woman said I should run
away because my mother would kill me the way she was
beating me.
“My mother said ‘I will kill you, I will kill you’. When she
could not find anything else to beat me with, she took a
broken bottle on the ground and started to stab me on the
back.”
Promise was rescued by alarmed residents, who took him
to a private hospital nearby.
But by the time the boy was taken to the hospital, Comfort
had planted another story in the boy’s head.
Pastor Charles Agboola, a pharmacist who founded the
hospital, said the two people who brought Promise in said
the boy fell down and landed on a broken bottle. When
Agboola’s wife, a nurse, asked the boy what actually
happened, Promise told her that he was watching two
people fight when he sustained the injury.
The nurse told our correspondent, “He told me that they
pushed him and he landed on the broken bottles but when I
informed my husband, he said immediately that the story
could not be true. I also noticed that the wounds were not
consistent with that story.
“It was shocking that the boy’s mother was not remorseful
in any way. It was when she dashed out of the door under
the pretence that she was going to look for money for the
boy’s treatment, that a crowd from their street, who were
coming to the hospital ,grabbed her and told the true story
of what happened.
“When we asked Promise why he lied, he said his mother
had told him what to say when asked how he sustained the
injury.”
Mr. Agboola told Saturday PUNCH that by the time the boy
was about to leave the clinic, he was crying.
“He said he did not want to go back home. We fed him,
gave him any kind of food he wanted because I could not
leave the boy to suffer even though nobody paid us any
money for his treatment. We even prayed for him. Anytime
we brought up the issue of who would take over his care
when he was released from our hospital, he became very
sad,” the pharmacist said.
Neighbours told our correspondent that Comfort sometimes
punished the boy by smashing his head against a wall
whenever he did something wrong.
Comfort was later handed over to the police at Ijaiye-
Ojokoro Division.
Comfort, who is nursing a toddler, said Promise stepped on
her baby, which was why she became angry.
When Promise’s biological father was later contacted, he
initially said he wanted nothing to do with the issue.
“I have other children – I have produced boys and girls.
Whatever she likes, she should do with her son. When she
likes, she would take the boy to a motor park and send him
to me through a driver,” the man said.
Later when he was told that his ex-wife was in police
custody, he said he would come to Lagos to pick the boy.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Kenneth Nwosu,
said Comfort would be arraigned as soon as possible.
He explained that Promise had been treated and discharged
from hospital. As of the time of filing this report, Promise
was being housed at the Lagos State social welfare home.
Later on Thursday, Comfort was arraigned at an Ojokoro
Magistrate Court, Lagos on charges of assault occasioning
harm and attempted murder.
Promise’s father also came to Lagos on Thursday to take
the boy. The father declined to speak on the issue when our
correspondent tried to ask him some questions. “I only
came to Lagos to pick the boy,” he said. http://www.punchng.com/news/my-mother-threatened-to-kill-me-six-year-old-boy-stabbed-by-mom/

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday appealed to the
international community to help African countries repatriate
stolen funds.
He said they should also help stop and track illicit financial
flow from the continent.
Osinbajo made the appeal in an address he delivered during
the plenary session of the ongoing third United Nations
International Conference on Financing for Development,
holding in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
According to a statement made available to journalists by
his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr.
Laolu Akande, the Vice President identified corruption as a
major impediment to development.
He underscored the need for the global community to adopt
concerted efforts against the scourge.
“This conference must come up with a mechanism for
dismantling safe havens and the return of stolen funds and
assets to the countries of origin as mandated in the United
Nations Conventions Against Corruption and Transnational
Organised Crime,” the vice president was quoted as saying.
He also called on global leaders, experts and the
international community, to pay attention to the plight of the
poor across the world.
He argued that the promotion of social inclusion was central
to issues of development.
Osinbajo recalled that during the last global financial crisis,
nations and governments worked out a bail out that took
them out of the situation. He therefore wondered that “if we
can bail out the rich, why not bail out the poor who have
neither voice nor representation?”
He urged the leaders to develop and implement
unconventional social safety nets to address the scourge of
poverty, hunger, disease and misery.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari administration was
committed to setting appropriate spending targets on social
services to address poverty, hunger, inequality and
unemployment particularly among the youths.
Osinbajo also asked the international community to develop
a viable mechanism to deal with the scourge of terrorism as
it addressed all aspects of human security for a truly
sustainable development.
He said global terrorism constituted a potent threat to
peace, stability and economic development of countries
worldwide.
The threat, he said, called for adequate funding, partnership
and collaboration of the global community to combat
terrorism, extremism and insurgency.
“We must take parallel action to intensify efforts towards
blocking all sources of funding for terrorist activities,” he
added.
Osinbajo also called for the establishment of a Global Fund
for Educational Development on the same scale as the UN
Global Fund to Fight AIDS and other major diseases.
Such a fund, which he said should support universal free
and quality primary education especially in developing
countries, will, according to him “make a difference in our
world in the next 15 years. It should replicate the successes
registered by the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria.”
Earlier, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban
Ki-Moon, while delivering his opening address to delegates,
said the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda would
be a critical step towards sustainable development and the
beginning of a new era of cooperation and global
partnership.
He noted that the Action Agenda as an ambitious financing
framework has the capacity to put the world on the right
path to implement the post-2015 development agenda and
the sustainable development goals.source http://www.punchng.com/news/osinbajo-seeks-global-leaders-help-in-repatriating-stolen-funds/

U dey sleep ni!

The management of the Nigeria Police Force has stopped
recruitment into the force as a result of paucity of funds,
The PUNCH learnt on Tuesday.
The last recruitment into the police was in 2011.
Our correspondent learnt that poor budgetary allocations
had been hindering the Force from adding to its current
400,000 policemen and policewomen.
In 2014, the NPF had a total budget allocation of
N292.35bn, though the amount that was released could not
be ascertained as of the time of this report.
The police proposed N329,669,237,019 in the 2015 budget,
comprising N306,773,439,285 for personnel and
N5,895,797,734 for overheads.
“With the increasing rate of crime in the country, we need
more policemen, but we have not been able to recruit
because of paucity of funds,” a top police officer confided
in The PUNCH on Tuesday.
It was learnt that the police under Mohammed Abubakar, a
former Inspector- General of Police, had in 2014 sought
approval to recruit 30,000 personnel, but the government
approved only 10,000 men to be recruited into the Force.
Even with the approval, no money was released for the
exercise until it became close to the election time, making it
impossible to recruit and train the new hands before the
polls.
It was learnt that the money for the suspended recruitment
had been used to pay salaries and other incidental
expenses.
Besides the inability to recruit, it was further gathered that
some detectives had been demanding money from
complainants to enable them to investigate cases.
The NPF, it was also learnt, had been borrowing money
from some commercial banks to pay the salaries of its
personnel since October, 2014.
Findings indicated that the Police Management Team was
shortly before the 2015 general elections forced to obtain
loan facilities to avert a mutiny from police personnel, some
of whom had been complaining about the non-payment of
their promotion arrears and other emoluments.
Checks also showed that the borrowing started under the
former IGP, Suleiman Abba, who was sacked by former
President Goodluck Jonathan in April, 2015, shortly after
the general elections.
Our correspondent gathered that the insolvency of the
police was responsible for its inability to pay the salary
arrears of policemen that were promoted in 2013.
The PUNCH had exclusively reported in February, 2015 that
some 15,000 policemen had threatened to go on strike over
the inability of the police management to pay their
promotion arrears.
Sources told our correspondent on Tuesday that the police
management was forced to obtain a loan from some banks
to pay its personnel in order to avert a strike, which would
have marred the general elections in March.
One of the sources stated that police could still not pay the
salary arrears because the money available was being used
to offset salaries only.
“The situation is so bad that our detectives cannot
investigate most criminal complaints because there is no
money for logistics. In most cases, they ask the
complainant to provide the logistics (money) for their
transport and hotel accommodation, if the investigation
requires travelling from one city to another,” a source
stated.
When asked how long the police would sustain the
borrowing, the source explained that banks had not given
the Force any ceiling or limits, noting that the police would
continue to borrow until the government released its
withheld funds.
He said, “The banks have not given us any borrowing limit,
so we will continue to borrow until our financial situation
improves.
“The banks are happy to give us the money because it suits
their business interests. They know that they won’t lose
their money, so they encourage us to get loan facilities to
meet our obligations. You know the police cannot afford not
to pay its personnel.”
Another source explained that the expectations of
contractors might be dashed as the force did not have any
extra money with which to service their debts, stressing
that the Police High Command was only focused on settling
salaries for now.
Asked how the IG was able to raise money to procure about
555 pick-up vehicles for his newly launched Safer Highway
Initiative, the source said the vehicles were bought with part
of the money that was released for election logistics.
Abubakar had complained about the steady decline in
budgetary allocations for overheads to the police in spite of
the increasing security challenges they had to contend with.
Speaking at the 2014 budget defence in the Senate in
February 2014, the former IG had said the budget office
earmarked N279bn for personnel cost against N293bn
required to pay the police personnel.
He complained about the shortfall of N14.4bn in the
provision for personnel cost, noting that out of the N14bn
appropriated for capital expenditure in 2013, only N10.9bn
was released.
Although the current IG, Solomon Arase, had denied that the
police borrowed money to pay salaries, a top officer
insisted that the Force secured loans from banks.
“As one of the agencies of the Federal Government, we
have not had cause to take a loan from banks,” Arase had
said while answering questions during a meeting with senior
police officers at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, two weeks
ago.
When asked on Tuesday, if the police were borrowing to pay
its personnel, the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel
Ojukwu, neither denied nor confirmed it.
“The NPF is maximizing the funds available to it,” he simply
said.
He explained that the Force only recruited specialists in
2013, adding that the recruitment of personnel would soon
be done.
“The last time we recruited was two years ago when we
engaged specialists, but I believe we will soon recruit more
personnel,” he stated.
In response to the report that police detectives had been
demanding money from complainants to investigate
criminal cases, the Force spokesman said it was illegal for
any policeman to demand money to investigate complaints.source http://www.punchng.com/news/lack-of-funds-halts-recruitment-into-police/

U na go hear wennn. It is not only DSS that are going to grill people. Fellow inmates of Kirikiri would get a chance at grilling new arrivals when the time comes.
