Politics / The Bigotry Against Aregbesola, By Prof. Yemi Osinbajo by rexoluj(m): 8:03am On Dec 18, 2014
The Bigotry Against Aregbesola, By Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
I was greatly saddened to read the material written by Mr. Egheomhanre Emmanuel Eyieyien urging “The Remnants” to vote out the current Governor of Osun State Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and vote in Chief Iyiola Omisore. I am also still somewhat puzzled as to how what appeared to be an opposition to a bond issue and other sundry allegations degenerated to the running down of the APC as an Islamic party, a propaganda tool notoriously deployed by the PDP through its various organs.
osibanjo
osibanjo

Are we as Christians now being urged to support the PDP or what exactly is the message? Reason, is one of the most important contributions of the Gospel to development. From it emerge the practical concepts of fairness and justice for all, especially our enemies. Which is why lynching, even of an intellectual kind is unacceptable.
I am not an unbiased intervenor, I had the good fortune of serving in an AD/ACN government in Lagos State. The ACN is a major partner in the APC. I will come back to the PDP APC issue presently.
Also, I have known Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Governor of the State of Osun, since 1999. We served on the policy committees of the then newly elected AD governor of Lagos State. He served in the infrastructure sub-committee and I, in the Justice sub-committee. I also served with him for 8 years in the government of Lagos State. He as Commissioner for Works and I as Attorney General. I developed a close personal relationship with him. His early ideological belief was shaped byMarxist-Socialist thinking, which probably influences his left- of- centre world view in governance. His first son Kabir went to university in Cuba on a scholarship. In 2005 when he graduated, only Rauf and I attended his graduation . He is a devout Muslim but liberal in his approach to other faiths. This is not unusual amongst the Yorubas largely because most families have both Muslim and Christian members and have always interacted without rancour. Of his six siblings only one other is a Muslim. All the others are Christians. His sister who is of the RCCG, is widowed ( her husband died a Christian) her two sons have lived with Rauf for years, he insists that they must practice their father’s faith faithfully. They both attend the RCCG.
He and I shared and still share a burden to provide honest, transparent, people-centered governance. He is a scrupulously honest person, as Commissioner for Works in Lagos State he left office without a home and no financial comforts. I know, because aside from my personal and official interaction with him, I coordinated his legal team for the reclamation of his mandate for over three years. I know first hand, his difficulties with sustaining his family, and a small staff for that period. Not surprisingly no one can accuse him in Osun State of corruption. He is just not wired that way.
Indeed, in keeping with that commitment to serve the people with complete fidelity, his major projects have been solely directed at alleviating the suffering and deprivation of his people. The hiring of, now 40,000 unemployed graduates , the provision of free balanced meals for all primary school children, provision of free uniforms, the provision of tablet computers for senior secondary school students containing all their textbooks, past jamb questions etc., monthly stipends to the elderly – all of these in a State that is the third poorest in Federalallocations and currently gets N2.6 billion monthly, a 40 percent reduction from 2013, courtesy of the Federal government. Mr. Eyieyien perhaps was not aware that even the 10 billion sukuk bond was purely for the building of 24 model state-of the art schools, most of which are now completed. The Wole Soyinka led Osun education summit recommended the replacement of the completely broken school infrastructure in Osun State with schools capable of accommodating 1000 students with modern labs, classrooms, power and sports facilities. The idea was to use economies of scale to benefit the largest number of students.
When Mr. Eyieyien describes him as “Sheikh” it is clearly to give the impression that he is an Islamic fundamentalist. The facts on the man completely belie this. First, as Commissioner for Works in Lagos State,he built the chapel at the State House Marina.
Pastor Adeboye at the opening commended him and remarked that he would be a pastor soon! Within a year of coming into government, he commissioned in Ilesa the Open Heavens Christian Evangelical Arena , a purpose-built facility for evangelism which according to him was to celebrate the icons of the Christian faith who are from Osun namely- the Late Apostle Babalola , the Late Apostle Obadare, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, Pastor W.F Kumuyi and Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo .
Today, his government supports the establishment of five Christian universities in Osun, including The Redeemers University at Ede, the Joseph Babalola University, Dominion University , and Bowen University.
How about the composition of government in Osun State? You will notice that his critics are never able to say that Christians are marginalised in government, why ? Because only Muslims can make that allegation! In the Cabinet of Osun State there are 10 more Christians than Muslims. In addition, the largest Ministries are headed by Christians- Ministries of Finance, Justice, Education, Health, Environment , Agriculture, Physical Planning and Youth and Sports . The Legislature (House of Assembly), which came into office after he won back his mandate in court in November 2010, has a majority of Christian members – 18 Christians and 8 Muslims. Everyone knows that at that level if the Governor does not support your nomination by the party your ambitions are dead in the water.
The State Judiciary is headed by a Christian who he appointed although he had preferred and proposed a judge from Lagos Justice Olubunmi Oyewole also a non-Muslim. Of over 30 new Permanent Secretaries appointed by him 22 are Christians. If the majority of your cabinet, ( including your Attorney-General), your Legislature, Judiciary and top echelon of your civil service are Christians how can we in truth say that such a person has an Islamisation agenda? Surely the least a “Sheikh” with an Islamisation agenda should do to achieve his objective is to populate the structure that can achieve that objective with Muslims!
It is also entirely false that he patronizes or uses “TAAWUN” guards for his security. It is common knowledge that he hardly even uses any security at all, except for a couple of SSS men, his monthly LIFE WALKS , where he walks alongside his people for kilometres without any significant security cordon was commended recently by a former Governor in the South East.
It is incredible what prejudice can do to us. Everyone in Osun knows that the State was nicknamed “State of the Living Spring” in reference to the Osun River after which the State is named. Renaming the State “the OmoluabiState ” – meaning “the State of children born of God” or “the State of men and women of virtue” certainly gives greater glory to God.
To suggest that benefiting from a Sukuk bond to better the lives of his people of all faiths, is enough to justify the grave allegation of an Islamisation agenda, is with all due respect , calling a dog a bad name simply to hang it. I agree that it may have served the politics of religion better not to take the bond, but it is a fairer judgment of his motives, knowing him, that this was borne out of his desire to serve his people well.
The 24 mega schools with state-of -the art facilities is a quantum leap in education for the majority of children of the poor who before now schooled in what the Soyinka committee saw as scandalous. The alternative was not to build the schools. When a man who is doing right by the poor and deprived people he governs, is being condemned by those of us who are called to serve the poor, the sick, , the naked, and the hungry then it is fair to ask what the values in governance we really intend to promote are? In any event the alternative is Chief Iyiola Omisore whose antecedents we ought, to put it delicately, be cautious to associate with.
A problem with uncritically accepting as useful advice this viciously anti-APC propaganda, is that it throws the baby out with the bath water. So we are now expected to reject the landmark achievements in Lagos, in Ogun ( the huge infrastructural developments), Oyo ( which for the first time most admit is making real progress) , Edo, and Ekiti ( where almost everyone agrees the governor did a good job but Fayose understood stomach infrastructure better!) Or now Kano or Rivers ( where a REAL rail service is about to begin;Lagos is also about to complete a rail service amongst other exemplary achievements )!
It is also false that the APC’s new executive reserved its top positions for Muslims! The Chairman of the party Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is a Christian, the Deputy National Chairman (South) Engr. Segun Oni is a Christian, so are the National Organizing Secretary Senator Osita Izunaso, Deputy National Secretary Hon. Orji Ugofa and Chief Pius Akinyelure , theVice Chairman of the South West. For what it is worth, there are 22 Muslims and 21 Christians in the APC National Executive Committee.
Regarding the rather thinly veiled ‘support the PDP/ JONATHAN’ message, it is incredible that we are invited to ignore the cynical manner that our President Goodluck Jonathan uses Christianity and the church to further his political ambitions. Why are we being urged to support a PDP/Jonathan bid again? The platform has largely on account of its tragic failure to perform, decided to exploit Nigeria’s religious fault lines in the most cynical manner to win support, in the process he continues to divide Nigeria in by the far most extreme manner in our history.
I have worked with many brethren since 2002 on issues around Islamization in Nigeria, in particular with Revd. Ladi Thompson of the Macedonian Initiative and the Omoluabi network. It is clear that Al Qaeda, ISIS , and more recently Boko Haram and their splinters are committed to an Islamization agenda. Their symphathisers certainly cut across all boundaries.
The Late General Azazi, then NSA, pointedly accused the PDP of being behind the escalation of Boko Haram, I have that statement on DVD. The President, also openlylamented the infiltration of his cabinet by the Boko Haram. Recently a Nigerian pastor in a widely circulated CD, speaking on the Jihadist agenda accused General Babangida of funding the Islamization agenda from his days as President. Today President Jonathan’s most influential Northern supporter is General Babangida. His narrative unfortunately gives no credit to Gen Buhari, and his deputy Gen Idiagbon (also a muslim) who refused to join the OIC despite pressures. Or that Gen Buhari remains the one head of State who was able to defeat an extremist insurgency, the Maitatsine.
How can we fail to see that the incredible corruption, incompetence, poverty of 2/3 of our people after almost seven years of the presentgovernment is unsupportable? How is it that Diezani’s use of 10billion Naira to run her private jet ( the same amount of money for the building of 24 mega schools in Osun!) and the complete silence of the President on this travesty does not lead to calling for him to be voted out in 2015? So the allegation of the missing or unaccounted for 20.8 billion USD with 110 million desperately poor, should be dismissed as pure propaganda? So it doesn’t make a difference to us that under the PDP Nigeria has fallen behind in every human development indicator? 55,000 women dying yearly of maternal related ailments, only recently Stanford’s Professor Larry Diamond compared the yearly deaths of over 300,000 children yearly in Nigeria to the killing of 800, 000 mainly Tutsis in Rwanda. The latter was described as genocide, what is the description to give to mass deaths of infants caused by grand corruption?
We discredit our treasured platforms such as this when we mask our political preferences with a religious veil. The vast majority of our people need to be delivered from terrible want and deprivation, what is required now are capable, honest men and women of all faiths, who know that this country may not long survive the daily punishment of its own people.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and pastor of the Redeemed Church of God, was former Attorney-General in Lagos State. He sent this article from Lagos.

Career / Keeping Your Powder Dry by rexoluj(m): 9:43am On Dec 16, 2014
Life is in stages. Every stage we reach, as we proceed on that ladder through time, requires more of everything from us. More courage, knowledge and understanding, responsibility, e.t.c., is required. To show that we are up to the task, we must prepare.

Too many of us are waiting for someone to come along and tell us what to do next. The story is told of a man who was employed by a Duke and Duchess. One day he was called in to speak to his employer. ‘James, how long have you been with us?’ said the Duchess. ‘About 30 years, your Grace’ he replied. ‘As I recall you were employed to look after the dog’ she said. ‘Yes, your Grace’. ‘James, that dog died 27 years ago’ said the Duchess. ‘Yes, your Grace’ said James, ‘what would you like me to do now?’

James asked a question about his next assignment when he ought to have been busy with it about 27 years ago. He did not take the initiative. The golden fleece is there waiting for those who understand their next assignment before others do. They are not caught unaware in the line of duty. If you are at the verge of leaving secondary school, start preparing for your tertiary challenge. Study and show yourself approved. Sharpen your blunt edges; in that way, you can cut your way to excellence.

Tiger Woods made his mark in his time as a golf champion. Did he achieve victory by chance or cheer luck? Roger Federer made his mark in lawn tennis. Did he do that consecutively by chance or cheer luck? Christiano Ronaldo scores as if goals are not fashionable any longer. Did he do that by chance or cheer luck? Osein Bolt, the maker and breaker of his own record did not do wonders on the track by chance. These people paid the price for high marks. The price is preparation!

The old motto of soldiers during the Revolutionary War says: Trust in God, but keep your powder dry! Place everything about you in God’s hands, but be at the ready. Get books that pertain to your chosen course of study and see what the contents look like. Readers are leaders. Leaders are ordinary people who accept or are placed under extraordinary circumstances that bring forth their latent potential, producing a character that inspires the confidence or trust of others. If you want excellence in your career, you must desire to be a leader. The confidence of others is inspired by the character you develop in the pursuit of being a spear-head. When you’ve made your choice of course with the vision of a leader, people would respect that choice because they believe you know where you are going even before you get there.

Leadership is knowing what to do next; knowing why that is important; and knowing how to bring appropriate resources to bear on the need at hand.

Sports / Between Messi, Ronaldo and My childhood Tormentors... just thinking aloud by rexoluj(m): 10:10pm On Dec 15, 2014
Dear Nairalander,

I sit at my desk this morning, ready for today's work. Even after i got to work at some minutes after eight and an altercation with the Hr manager earned me a solemn promise of debit for my lateness to work.

I still found myself both amused and bemused by a friend's bbm personal message.
[/b]Messi and Ronaldo must think we are idiots, they don't know some of us know that they are Aliens, Awon Aje Oshi Meji

[b]
I might not be very effective as regards mood twists and turns, but those words caught my fancy and got me back to the right mood. smiley

Reminiscing my adolescence, I vividly recall how I was constantly bullied to the point of tears by these ibeji Oran (possessed twins) who always take leisure in being boisterous due to their form and structure. I remember clearly, while with no hope of overcoming being swaggered by this humans, I resorted to name callings and one of my most used phrase was - awon aje oshi meji.

For those who do not understand the meaning of those words, its simply the most eloquently retaliatory way a physically/mentally tormented kid would refer to his/her tormentors - [/b] [b]those twin miserable witches.

Back to Messi and Ronaldo

The footballing world is obsessed with comparing these two footballing sensations. Have you ever stepped back and thought about how similar the two men really are? Sure, their football clubs are arch-rivals: but the two attackers are more similar than we think. First and foremost, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen. They are legends and are miles ahead of any other footballer playing today. Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or once and finished second to Lionel Messi on three occasions since. The next award will almost certainly go to one of them.

Messi exerts influence on a match, playing more around the centre of the pitch than Ronaldo and bringing in more of his team-mates into attacks. Ronaldo is more comfortable taking solo runs on the wide sides, and he is no much better as a finisher than Messi who is a master in ball control, passing, speed, stamina, balance, dribbling and scoring.

So to my friend Theo, I know exactly how you must have felt to have written those words. Messi and Ronaldo are real soccer tormentor, greatly skilled, almost flawless at their craft. You ask yourself, only superhumans can play football like this lot. Anyways I must say i am blessed to be alive to see both these twin phenomenons.

In conclusion, if you still find it difficult to understand the plot of this write up and my presumed correlation between my ibeji Oran and awon aje meji oshi yii...try imagining yourself being a piece of football, and you have Ronaldo and Messi on the same team playing you around for ninety minutes of a football match. grin

Awon aje oshi meji ... Inspired by T'O Osibodu

Celebrate your body and mind by treating them right first thing in the a.m.! Follow these five morning habits and watch yourself transform before your own eyes.
1. Exercise.
Want to be able to lift gallons of milk, defend yourself, and feel invincible? Build muscle and endurance to change your life. Try high intensity interval training (HIIT) because you can do anything for short periods of time.
2. Meditate.
All those emails, tweets, texts, phone calls and personal demands for your attention are taking away your mental energy. Be kind to your mind. All you need: 10-20 minutes of sitting and watching your breath.
3. Poop.
You read that right. Defecate. What goes in must come out. If you are eating right, this should happen every morning. If your system is off then you know it’s time to alter your food intake.
4. Eat and Drink.
Eat a healthy and filling breakfast with protein and drink water so that you can make it to lunch without collapsing. What if aliens attack at 10 am? Will you have enough energy stored to defend yourself? Will you be hydrated and at your best?
5. Gratitude.
Smile and say thank you to at least one person before you make it to work or better yet, compliment someone. Each morning. Do it and your entire day will be better.

Science/Technology / Incredible Photo Of Lightning! Have You Witnessed This Before? by rexoluj(m): 12:17pm On Dec 09, 2014
Roland Taylor, New Zealand photographer snapped photos of the lightning storm on Wednesday at about 5.30pm (local time) from his apartment in Surry Hills in Sydney.

He says he took a series of photos over half an hour, and each lightning strike is its own photo.

"It's then just a simple step to merge or 'Stack' them together. The trick is exposing each shot right to make sure the blend works well," Mr Taylor said.

He said he was "very fortunate to have such a good front row seat for the show".

When lightning strikes in Nigeria, the local myth is that you shouldn't hold any reflective or illuminating object eg Mirror, glasses, flashlight etc.

Properties / Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (lagos HOMS) by rexoluj(m): 12:47pm On Dec 08, 2014
"Home ownership has often been regarded as a utopian aspiration for a large majority of our people; a mark of great prosperity and the attainment of significant wealth. As a result, this status brought about by inequality has eluded our people decade after decade¦. We believe that equalizing opportunities will remain the expectation of every taxpayer from a government under any social democracy for generations to come. It is for this reason that our strong determination to provide better access to capital through affordable access to home ownership remains unshaken."

Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN- July 2010.


Introduction

In line with its promise to energise investment in home ownership by increasing the supply of homes and enabling wide access to home ownership through mortgage finance, the Lagos State Government under the able leadership of Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN is pleased to introduce the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme, (Lagos HOMS).



Lagos HOMS is a unique solution to the substantial supply gap in housing stock in Lagos State, inspired by the Governor’s resolve to bridge the housing deficit in Lagos State and ensure that the Lagos State Government lives up to its social obligation to provide affordable shelter to its citizens.



Simply put, it is a stimulus package for equity supported access to home ownership which will provide the framework for a sustained mortgage scheme in Lagos State.



Background

Steady and increasing urbanization over the years has resulted in the phenomenal rise in population. The enormous social responsibilities and demands associated with a growing population density that has now reached approximately 20,000 people per square metre and an estimated population growth of 8% per annum has meant that despite the best efforts of previous Administrations, the last time the Lagos State Government was able to tackle the housing problem head-on was during the Alhaji Lateef Jakande Administration from 1979 to 1983, when an estimated 21,000 units were constructed in 12 locations across the State.



Subsequent Administrations have tried to bridge this housing gap without success. The major reason was found to be the lack of access to affordable mortgage finance. For the first time therefore, Government’s intervention in housing will focus on affordable mortgage finance which we believe is much more sustainable that previous housing intervention policies.



What will it do?

Lagos HOMS will generate employment and unlock the savings potential of Lagos State residents by giving them the opportunity to pursue other economic activities from the disposable income they save. In addition, appreciation in property values will increase availability of capital for home owners.



Lagos HOMS provides an innovative and sustainable opportunity to enhance home ownership by Lagos State residents. It will accelerate growth by providing affordable mortgage finance and thereby promote equal access to home ownership in Lagos State.

Quite simply, more and more people in Lagos State will own their own homes.
