Lagos State Government on Tuesday presented a N10 million cheque to the relations of a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) official, Folashade Arogundade, killed by a truck on May 25. Presenting the cheque to the husband, Mr. Tunde Babajide and her younger brother, Mr. Adekunle Arogundade, Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Transportation Mr. Oluwatoyin Fayinka said the donation was in fulfilment of the promises of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu when he paid a condolence visit to the bereaved family. He said although the state and especially LASTMA missed the services of the late officer, who was respected by her colleagues, the gift was to show the governor’s commitment to the welfare of civil servants. Fayinka urged the beneficiaries to utilise the money. The SA said a cheque of N5million was written to cater for the education of the deceased’s 18-month-old baby. He suggested that it should be deposited in an account to be jointly managed by the husband and a relation of the deceased. A cheque of N3million was handed over to the deceased’s relation, while N2million cheque was given to the husband. Permanent Secretary Ministry of Transportation Mr. Olawale Maroof Musa said the death of the LASTMA official was sad. He added that as part of his commitment to the welfare of civil servants, Governor Sanwo-Olu had led a high-powered delegation to the bereaved family to commiserate with them. Mr. Babajide thanked the governor for his magnanimity and LASTMA for the privilege his family has enjoyed. He prayed God to guide the governor aright in the task of building a safe and prosperous state. The deceased’s younger brother, Mr. Kunle Arogundade, who received a cheque of N3million on behalf of her family, thanked the governor for remembering the family in their period of grief. He prayed that such an unfortunate incident would not be recorded in the traffic agency again. https://thenationonlineng.net/govt-presents-n10m-cheque-to-dead-lastma-officials-family/

The Buhari administration may have found a silver bullet to shoot down the $9.6billion world record claim against Nigeria’s assets by Irish company Process and Industrial Development(P&ID). According to reports, the rock-solid defence is contained in a UK law, that gives immunity to Sovereign states. Going by the law, P&ID should not even have dragged Nigeria to any arbitration or a commercial court, to try to milk Nigeria of hard-earned revenue. But first of all, Nigeria intends to file a stay-of-execution of the judgment at the end of the month when the UK courts resume and has opted not to negotiate any deal with P&ID. Thereafter, the government will file an appeal based on the extant law of the United Kingdom. UK’s State Immunity Act 1978 (the Act) bars UK courts from confiscating assets of a foreign state without the consent of that state, gives it a leeway in the matter. In an illuminating article on the law published in March this year, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP (the largest law firm in the world devoted solely to business litigation and arbitration, said the Act allows a written consent of a foreign state before the enforcement of a judgment which could lead to seizure of assets or freezing of accounts. The article was titled “Sovereign Immunity in the United Kingdom—Lexology” The law firm wrote: “Section 13 (2) of the Act provides that: (a) relief shall not be given against a State by way of injunction or order for specific performance or for the recovery of land or other property; and (b) the property of a State shall not be subject to any process for the enforcement of a judgment or arbitration award or, in an action in rem, for its arrest, detention or sale. “Pursuant to section 13 of the Act, state assets ‘shall not be subject to any process for the enforcement of a judgment or arbitration award or, in an action in rem, for [their] arrest, detention or sale’ unless the state has provided its written consent (see, for example, Gold Reserve Inc v Venezuela [2016] EWHC 153 (Comm), finding that Venezuela had submitted to arbitration in writing by entering into a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) with Canada) or the assets in question are ‘in use or intended for use for commercial purposes’ (section 13(2)-(4)). These provisions apply in respect to states alone as defined in section 14 of the Act, and do not therefore extend to separate entities (see question 8 ) . “This provision is subject to sections 13(3) and 13(4) of the Act. Pursuant to section 13(3), a state may provide written consent to the grant of any relief against it. It follows that a state may consent to the grant of interim or injunctive relief against it; however, the mere submission to the jurisdiction of the UK courts does not constitute such consent.” According to The Nation, the decision by Nigeria to anchor its defence on this law, was taken at a meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja this week. It was attended by Finance, Budget and National Planning Minister Zainab Ahmed; Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN); Minister of Information Lai Mohammed; and Minister of State for Petroleum Timipre Sylva. Others are Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs Festus Keyamo (SAN); Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mele Kyari; Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu; and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele. The Federal Government’s team, made up of many lawyers, met with an American lawyer alongside Mr. Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), who has been central to the handling of the case with P&ID. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/09/04/buhari-govt-finds-silver-bullet-to-shoot-down-9-6b-pid-claim/amp/ |

The Lagos State Government has acquired 84 hectares of land in Osogbo, Osun State, to cultivate crops and meet the food needs of residents. The Commissioner for Agriculture, Gbolahan Lawal, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, noted that the farm would ensure food security for Lagosians. “Lagos State, with a population in excess of 21 million people and a daily influx of people from diverse places, has a serious agricultural land constraint and being a coastal state, the available land for agriculture has been drastically reduced due to urbanisation,” the commissioner added. He explained that the state government intended to build another abattoir along the Epe-Lekki corridor that would cater to the meat needs of people in that area of the state. Lawal said he planned to build an agribusiness application that would not only monetise everything done in the ministry but also support the value chain platform. “Some of the objectives of the app are that it will groom start-up entrepreneurs, small and medium enterprises, and agro-tech innovators, among others, in addition to promoting the establishment of agribusiness ventures through a vast pool of commercialised agro-technology from the research and development institutes,” he added. https://punchng.com/lagos-acquires-land-in-osun-to-boost-agriculture/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 |
Two scholars from the University of Lagos have attracted a total of €1200,000, pounds (N540 million) for research. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the grants were from the United Kingdom Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund. The scholars are Sunday Adebisi, Director, African Research Universities Alliance ARUA Centre of Excellence in Unemployment and Skills Development, and Timothy Nubi, a professor and the Director, Centre for Urbanisation and Habitable Cities. Mr Adebisi secured the grant for Partnership, Research and Capacity Building for Youth Unemployment Solutions in Africa while Nubi got the grant for African Research Network for Urbanisation and Habitable Cities. The duration of the research projects is 36 months – from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2022. NAN reports that the grants are for the development of integrated solutions that will maximise employment opportunities and enhance the future of work in Africa. They are also to provide a strategic platform for developing research capacities in African institutions to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using a hub and spoke models that will increase collaboration among African teams from diverse disciplines. They are also to be used to fund themed capacity-building workshops, PhD Colloquia in conferences and researcher exchange programmes that will promote mentoring as well as carry out scooping studies in research areas, specific to Africa’s urbanisation challenges. Mr Adebisi told NAN on Saturday in Lagos that a major aim of the grant was to tackle the challenges of youth unemployment, using a stakeholder network approach involving academic research institutes and non-academic institutions with shared vision, interest, goals and objectives. According to him, this will build significant research capacity across African universities as well as promote youth employment and skills development in African countries starting with universities in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt and South Africa. He added that it would enhance the realisation of the SDGs. “It will also provide sponsorship for academic training for seven doctoral students, six post-doctoral fellows as well as 15 faculty members distributed across African universities for capacity building in carrying out research on skills development for reducing youth unemployment in Africa. “This grant will also be used to create a one-high performing hub that has the capacity to raise external funds, firm partnerships, explore entrepreneurial activities as well as attract excellent mentors worldwide and anchor research network across African universities toward youth skills development, in a bid to achieve the SDGs. “We will also strive to hold international conferences, workshops and trainings that will be attended by not less than two hundred participants every year for the duration of the project,” he told NAN. Mr Adebisi said the activities, under the ARUA Centre of Excellence, would be in collaboration with universities such as Coventry, Lancaster, University of Derby, University of Cape Town and universities of Ghana and Nairobi. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/349796-unilag-scholars-attract-1200000-research-grants.html/amp/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 |

Trump’s immigration policy’ll reduce number of Nigerians in strategic professional positions — NDM The Nigerian Diaspora Movement (NDM) in the U.S. says President Donald Trump’s new immigration policy will, over time, reduce the number of Nigerians in strategic professional positions in that country. Chairman of the movement Prof. Apollos Nwauwa made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). A policy alert released on Wednesday by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services disclosed the Trump administration’s plan to make it more difficult for the children of some U.S. service members and U.S. government employees living abroad to automatically become U.S. citizens. The rule appears to primarily affect the children of naturalised U.S. citizens serving in the armed forces, who have not lived in the U.S. for a required period of time, a relatively small number — estimated to be approximately 100 annually, according to a Defense Department official. It does not impact anyone born in the U.S. U.S. citizenship can be acquired a few ways, including being born in the country. Children born abroad can acquire citizenship through their U.S. citizen parents either at birth or before the age of 18. While the latest policy guidance does not make anyone ineligible for citizenship, it appears to narrow how children abroad can gain citizenship. Trump has occasionally voiced his support for ending birthright citizenship and said last week that he was “seriously” considering ending it, though it is unclear how he would have the legal authority to do so. This is because an Executive Order alone is not enough to make him have his way. Only a constitutional amendment can make the president have his way where ending birthright citizenship is concerned. Acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli said on Twitter that the new policy “does NOT impact birthright citizenship.” Still, the policy, which takes effect on Oct. 29, sparked confusion among military and diplomatic groups who immediately denounced the alert. The groups became concerned that the rule change would place hurdles before children of federal employees and military workers serving abroad. According to Nwauwa, Nigerians in the U.S. are of significant value to the U.S, given that they constitute a large part of the human resource base of that country. ”There is hardly any American agency or parastatal that has no Nigerian working in its upper echelons. “Since only citizens are permitted to work in sensitive and lucrative positions, over time, this policy will reduce the number of Nigerians in strategic professional positions in the U.S., ” he said. He further said that the policy of restrictive citizenship would reduce the huge amount of remittances made by Nigerians living in the U.S. to the country’s revenue sources. “Unquestionably, the long-term goal of the Trump administration is to reduce to the barest minimum the number of immigrants in his country. “The policy will only briefly affect Nigerians visiting the U.S. to have babies. ”It will also have implications for American servicemen, business people, members of the diplomatic corps as well as others, who live outside the U.S. with their families. “Nigerians who also have U.S. citizenship will be affected the most because their children born in their country of birth after they had become U.S. citizens by naturalisation, will not be granted citizenship. “Trump’s administration is determined to change the U.S. immigration landscape once and for all,” he said. https://www.pulse.ng/news/world/trumps-immigration-policyll-reduce-number-of-nigerians-in-strategic-professional/3geb2lj L

The Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, on Friday unveiled the e-registration programme of the Nigeria Immigration Service for all migrants (non-Nigerians) in the 33 local government areas of the state. Makinde said the exercise was coming at the period the country was facing security challenges. He said no meaningful development could take place where there was insecurity because no investor would invest where there was insecurity. The governor said one of his cardinal objectives was to address security threat in the state, adding that the e-registration for migrants would help tackle insecurity, plan and know the total number of people to be budgeted for in the state. Makinde said, “The state appreciates the NIS for the exercise because it will assist the state to leave up to its responsibilities. Those concerned should comply adequately without wasting time to avoid going to jail or being reprimanded.” In his speech, the state Comptroller of NIS, Saleh Abdullahi, said the registration would help to identify and determine the migration status of resident migrants in the state and Nigeria in general. Abdullahi said that the registration would also enhance the internal security of Nigeria. https://punchng.com/makinde-unveils-e-registration-for-migrants-in-oyo/

A flurry of gold medals in wrestling and others from athletics, boxing and even canoeing has seen Nigeria soar to the second spot on the overall medals table at the ongoing African Games in Morocco. Nigeria, as of Thursday night, had gathered a total of 103 medals (40 gold, 28 silver and 35 bronze medals). South Africa, who were previously occupying the second position, have now dropped to third as the curtain is set to drop on this edition of the African Games. Nigeria’s biggest harvest of gold medals on Thursday came from wrestling where the country won all but one of the six gold medals on offer to reaffirm her supremacy in the sport on the continent. Reigning African Games gold medalists, Blessing Oborududu (68kg), Odunayo Adekuoroye (57kg), Mercy Genesis (50kg) and Aminat Adeniyi (62kg), were all impressive as they retained their titles, as well as African Champion Blessing Onyebuchi (76kg), while 2018 African champion Bose Samuel (53kg) settled for silver after losing to Cameroon’s Essombe Joseph 2-4 in the final. The five gold-medalists did not concede a point in their respective final bouts. Unexpected feats While the feat in wrestling was predictable and expected, Nigeria served the continent a pleasant surprise in a relatively unpopular sport in the country, Canoeing, Nigeria on Thursday won two gold medals as Ayomide Emmanuel Bello won in the women’s 500m while she combined with Goodness Foloki to win another gold. Another unexpected outcome happened in Rabat as a new face in Nigeria’s table tennis, Olajide Omotayo, emerged as the champion of Africa in the men’s singles event at the 2019 African Games. Omotayo conquered three of the best players in Africa to be crowned the new champion of the continent. From the quarterfinal stage, Omotayo worked his way to the final, beating two former champions – Egypt’s Ahmed Saleh and Nigeria’s Segun Toriola in the quarterfinal and semifinal stages. The final produced the best of Africa with Aruna Quadri going up against Omotayo and the fans were treated to an exciting match. Omotayo threw caution to the wind and raced to the lead with a 3-0 (13-11, 11-9, 16-14) but experienced Quadri cut the lead to 3-2 with 8-11, 13-15 wins in the fourth and fifth games. The sixth match was a display of energy and skills and it was the younger Omotayo that scaled through with 12-10 win to claim the second gold medal for Nigeria in the table tennis event of the multi-sports fiesta. Although the likes of Ese Brume also won gold for Nigeria in the women’s long jump and Shogbamu Bolanle in boxing, the icing on the cake was the Falconets’ gold medal in the women’s football event. Bad for badminton It was however not too good for Nigeria in badminton where only one gold medal was won in the four final matches the team members played on Thursday at the 12th African Games. The only gold medal was won by Anuoluwapo Opeyori who beat Georges Julien Paul of Mauritius in the Men’s Singles. Dorcas Adesokan lost the Women’s Singles to South Africa’s Johanita Scholtz. While the pair of Deborah Ukeh and Dorcas Adesokan were beaten in the Women’s Doubles by Hadia Elsaid and Doha Toufic of Egypt. Awaiting champions Going into the last day of action before the closing ceremony, Egypt are home and dry in the first position on the overall medals table. They presently have a massive 79 gold 87 silver and 63 bronze medals. It would also take a miracle for South Africa, who currently have eight gold medals less than Nigeria, to return to the second position as most of the games where they have medal prospects have been concluded. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/349547-2019-african-games-nigeria-now-second-on-medals-table.html/amp/

Traditional Yoruba wedding attire for bride and groom

Traditional Yoruba wedding garment is really something that makes weddings in Yorubaland so picturesque and festive-looking. No matter how wealthy the bride and groom are – their attires will be so luxurious that even a king would freely wear them. Let’s take a look at these masterpieces and their specific features. Traditions of making wedding attire in Yorubaland From the ancient times, there was a special Yoruba cloth for making wedding attires and other formal garments. Known as Aso Oke, it was the only choice for brides and grooms. Since that time, a lot has changed. Now brides and grooms in Yorubaland can choose among lace, silk, velvet, and sometimes even elements of Ankara. However, the assortment of Aso Oke still remains prevalent among Yorubas. Aso Oke is used to create attires for everybody. Brides and grooms, their families and friends, any of the guests can wear this fabric. If the wedding sticks to traditions precisely, Aso Oke can be chosen for Aso Ebi, a special tradition that will receive some more attention below Traditional Yoruba attire for bride There are certain traditions of getting dressed for brides in Yorubaland. They are supposed to wear special clothes from head to her toes. The clothes usually mean a combination of a traditional wrapper with a blouse, and a headpiece. The wrapper is called Iro. The wrapper is usually tied at the waist and covers the bride’s hips and legs up to the ankles or reaches the floor. It looks extremely feminine and elegant, especially today when it’s possible to choose a fabric that creates lovely folds and creases. The Iro is accompanied by a blouse called buba The blouse is often made with the same fabric and colour as the wrapper. White lace blouses of this type look especially festive and attractive. The headpiece is created out of a headtie that’s called Gele. This is a traditional Yoruba headpiece that can be worn in a variation of forms and shapes for the sake of creativity and elegance. In most cases, the headtie is made with Aso oke. Sometimes, brides attach small veils to their Gele. The wedding attire of this type is usually accompanied by some fashionable jewelry. In most cases, brides wear earrings and bracelets. The majority of brides has special beads that are meant for the wedding occasion. These beads normally match the color of the attire or create a deep contrast. Of course, every bride in Yorubaland has decent shoes that match her purse and a fan. A fan is a fashion accessory that’s used by many Nigerian brides in different regions of the country. Some brides have second dresses. It’s made to change the look after the wedding ceremony but these dresses are no way less stunning and luxurious than the first ones. There’s a tendency that if the first dress is made out of Aso Oke, the second one will be made out of lace. The Yoruba wedding attire color codes The tradition of determining the color code of a wedding is ancient and beloved. During the preparation phase for the wedding, the bride, the groom, and their families choose the colors for Aso Ebi – clothes for the guests and the family colour, if the family members want separate colours.. Why is it so important? The family and guests of the bride may be dressed in one color and the family and guests of the groom – in another one. It will help determine the relationships and create a colorful wedding ceremony with juicy vibrant color spots. The bride’s friends, Ore Iyawo, and the groom’s friends as well receive a privilege of choosing their Aso Ebi for themselves. It’s normal for them to be dressed with more elegance and taste than all the others. Their garments are usually more suitable for young people as Aso Ebi of the same type for different age groups is not the best choice. Besides that, it makes sense to create a lovely attire for a couple. The bride and the groom's clothes are made with the different fabrics, but same colour and the same aso oke. In most cases, the couple's colour is always different from the colours chosen buy their families. Yoruba traditional clothes for groom Grooms in Yorualand are usually dressed in Sokoto (quite loose pants), a Buba (a shirt) and Agbada. Agbada is an outfit that’s worn for special festive occasions like weddings and other formal situations. The chest embroidery on Agbada can be utterly elaborate and exquisite. The attire is accompanied with a hat called Fila. Filas can be of different types and often the groom himself chooses what type of Fila he’s going to wear. The groom's Fila and agbada are made out of the same fabric as their bride’s Gele, although some couple were different materials. Grooms also have some jewelry. In case the man has no permanent items like piercing, the only item of jewelry will be a very long and very elaborate beaded necklace. Sometimes, grooms also have an additional accessory – a horse’s tail called Irukere. This is an ancient royal item and many grooms decide to support the tradition even nowadays. Let’s take a look at the traditional wedding attire that Yoruba couples wear on their wedding days. https://www.legit.ng/1191944-yoruba-traditional-wedding-attire-bride-groom.html?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=rads Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44
