Ghana have failed to make any meaningful impact in the U-17 category since the introduction of MRI test.

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun on Friday declared the newly elected President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki as duly elected, an indication that the party was backtracking from its earlier hardline stance against the emergence of Saraki as Senate President and Dogara as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In a related development, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia have pledged to work with Saraki. The UK added that it was not bothered by the controversies trailing his emergence.
Oyegun’s position is contrary to that of the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu who had earlier said Saraki was not duly elected and that he would not recognise him.
The APC had equally earlier threatened sanction against its members at the National Assembly for not towing the party's line in electing their leaders.
On his part, President Muhammadu Buhari said the election was constitutional, but noted that the party's procedure should have been adhered to.
But Oyegun, who was asked if the APC would accept Saraki as the senate President, during an interview with State House correspondents at the Defence House, Abuja, said: "Of course, he (Saraki) has been duly elected by his colleagues. We have a reality and we must live with it."
The APC National Chairman added that what transpired at the Senate during the election of its leaders was a party affair, and as such would be handled by the party.
He said: "We have faced greater challenges before and this too shall pass away.”
On insinuations that the defeat of APC candidates in the national Assembly election would be the beginning of its end, the party's national chairman said: "No, It is not the first or second time we have passed through challenges and we came out strong. This may not even be the last time, we come out every time stronger and more determined."
On his next step, he said: "There is no next step; what has happened is within the APC family and we are sorting it out within the family. People say they are going to court which is their right, but as a party, we are looking at everything and we will come out of this stronger."
On Saraki's aborted visit to the APC secretariat on Thursday Oyegun said: “Nothing went wrong; there were a lot of consultations and you can't be in two places at the same time. It was not comfortable for us, but we have been talking. We don't want to make a song and dance of it. Everything is being put in proper perspective."
UK Congratulates Saraki, Pledges to Work Him…
In a related development, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia have pledged to work with Saraki.
Making its pledge during a courtesy visit to the Senate president, the United Kingdom's High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Andrew Pocook said UK was not interested in the nation's party politics. Rather, he said the concern of his country was to do business with Nigeria and not to participate in its politics.
He said: "We are not going to get drawn into discussions of party affairs. What we want to do is to talk to the President of the Nigerian Senate about how we can work with him individually, with the institution, to strengthen the bilateral relationship but also to move forward mutual agenda and a whole range of issues.
"So we are not here to play politics. We are here to do substantive business," Pocook said.
Pocook congratulated Saraki on the success of his election, emphasising that the United Kingdom would always walk closely with the Nigerian government to ensure good governance at all levels.
In his response, Saraki who was flanked by his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, at the visit hailed the continued bilateral relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, assuring that the current administration would be determined to fulfil its obligations to the nation.
He commended his guest for sustaining the mutual understanding which exists between both countries.
According to him, Nigeria will always seek Britain's co-operation in areas of infrastructural development and social security, noting that Nigeria looked forward to a meaningful relationship with Britain.
He said: "I am very delighted to receive Your Excellency in my office barely 48 hours of my resumption in office. This shows the level of commitment the British government has towards the course of Nigeria.
"We look forward to a very good working relationship in order to move our dear country forward. Nigerians deserve the best of governance."
Senators in attendance at the meeting were Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto East), Abdulrahman Abubakar (Kogi East), Misau Isah Hamma (Bauchi Central), Dino Melaye (Kogi West) and Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara South).
In the case of Saudi Arabia, its Charge-de-Affair in Abuja paid the new Senate President a courtesy visit. Source: [hpp//www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ Senate- Presidency-Oyegun-Declares-Saraki-Duly-Elected/211916]

A Russian billionaire has unveiled plans to make humans immortal by converting them into “Terminator-style” cyborgs – a creature that’s part human and part machine – within the next three decades, hindustantimesreports.Thirty two-year-old mogul, Dmitry Itskov has been pushing the project forward since 2011 when he founded the 2045 Initiative.
His ultimate goal is to transfer a person’s mind or consciousness from a living brain into a machine with that its personality and memories intact.
The so called “Cyborg” will have no physical form, and exist in a network similar to the Internet and be able to travel at the speed of light all over the Earth, or even into the space.
Itskov’s first highly ambitious goal, called Avatar A, involves a person controlling a robotic human replica through a brain-machine interface (BMI), a technology that already exists.
The deadline for this first stage is set for 2020. The Avatar B, due in 2025, would involve transplanting a human brain into an artificial body “at the end of one’s life.”
Next in line is the Avatar C, that rolls around in 2035, that would also involve a human-machine brain transplant, but with all personality intact.
Itskov hopes the Initiative will have learned enough about the human mind to free it completely from physical form finally, by 2045.
According to the report, from the Internet-like hive mind, individual personalities could manifest themselves as holograms when they need to interact with their environment.
“We believe that it is possible and necessary to eliminate ageing and even death, and to overcome the fundamental limits of the physical and mental capabilities currently set by the restrictions of the physical body,” the project website says.
Itskov is recruiting scientists and authoring an open letter to the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, asking him to support to push society’s transition to “neo-humanity.”

A fresh crisis is brewing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) as Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has submitted the name of his in-law, Prof. Anthony Anwuka and two others to President Muhammadu Buhari for the post of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Okorocha, as the leader of APC in the South-east, is saddled with the responsibility of submitting the list of the SGF nominees to Buhari to make a choice.
The other names on the list are Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and Senator Chris Ngige.
According to sources in the APC, Okorocha’s preference is Prof Anwuka for the post and only included Onu and Ngige on the list to fulfill all righteousness.
Anwuka’s son, Uzo, recently married Uju, Okorocha’s daughter.
“You should be aware by now that Rochas has removed the SSG in Imo State. He replaced him with his chief of staff and replaced the chief of staff with his son-in-law (Uche Nwosu) who was Commissioner for Lands in his first term. He has sent Anwukas name to Buhari for the post of SGF,” the source disclosed.
When the source was reminded that Onu was the name on everyone’s lips, the source explained that the governor has been telling those who care to listen that he has the ear of Buhari.
Another source who corroborated Okorocha’s latest move, said, “If you look at the sharing of key posts, you would see that APGA (All Progressives Grand Alliance) that he took to join them in the APC has not been rewarded.
“Buhari is from the defunct CPC (Congress for Progressives Change), Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, his deputy is from the defunct ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria, (John Odigie-Oyegun was a chieftain of the defunct ANPP (All Nigeria Peoples Party) while Bukola Saraki came from the New PDP (Peoples Democratic Party), so Okorocha believes he is within his rights to determine who shall be SGF.”

The Senate President, David Mark, has urged the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to launch a reconciliation initiative to appease the feelings of some aggrieved persons across the country.According his a press statement, which was released by his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, he said “What the nation needs now is genuine reconciliation of all sections of the country and not otherwise.
“What must be paramount is the service, welfare and security of Nigerians irrespective of ethnic, religious or political differences.”
Mr. Mark also said the insecurity situation needed to be addressed especially in the North East zone, were Boko Haram has caused mayhem.
He also advised public office seekers against desperation for power.
“There is no need to be desperate for power, since power comes from God,” he said. “Once we acknowledge this, we will not be at each other’s throat.”
Mr. Mark gave credit to Almighty God for sustaining him throughout his eight years as President of the Senate.
“My 16 years in the Senate and eight years as the President of the Senate is the Lord’s doing, not by my own wisdom, power, intelligence or fame and influence,” he said. “It has been a unique opportunity to serve in a public office.
“If God had not permitted us, we could not have achieved the much we have done for the people and above all for God.”
He thanked his colleagues in the Senate and House of Representatives for their support and cooperation, which he said helped him to succeed as the President of the Senate.

This post is long but try and read. The ideal of good governance is modeled on the Philosopher-King: the ruler who acts like a philosopher or the philosopher who becomes a ruler. Proponents of this school maintain that the business of governance requires at the head, the extra-ordinary intelligence, vision, insight and eclectic scholarship of the leaders to stir to safety the ship of the state. Government is too intricate, and too serious to be entrusted to artisans and to street brawlers who managed to win the last elections.
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Minister of Finance who doubled as the Coordinator for the Economy was Nigeria’s Foreign Minister and under General Obasanjo, was the Head of Nigeria’s Economic Intelligence Team. From the Royal Family Obi Obahai of Ogwashi-Ukwu, she was educated at Harvard and MIT where she earned her PhD in Regional Economics. Like her father Obi, Chuka Okonjo who in the ‘50s was the Headmaster at Ibadan Government School, father and daughter transverse the disciplines and have at every point in their public service days contributed significantly to the acknowledgement of the platonic school. Indeed, as the Administrative/Consultant to the Ghana Educational Review Panel. Professor Chuka Okonjo, who is a renowned Economics Teacher, Mathematician, Statistician, Botanist, overhauled the Ghana Education system. By the time the Rawlings Government carried out all the reforms and the new policies recommended by the Okonjo panel, Ghana’s leadership in Education in Africa was restored. Currently, foreign students, including Nigerians flock the Ghana education institutions to benefit from those reforms.
Whatever would be history’s final verdict on President Jonathan’s era, there will be no hiding place for Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Amazon who seized the opportunities, contributed a lot to the present growth of our economy but failed abysmally in blazing a paradigm shift for the Nigerian poor and the downtrodden of her famished Anioma Community. In an address to the Senate, 6th of July, 2011 Dr. Okonjo-Iweala stated, “We have a coefficient inequal. We live in a country where the rich can just wake up and decide to travel abroad, just as their children school abroad and have access to good health care”, adding that “subsidy was a good instrument to narrow the economic gap between the rich and the poor.”
October 2011, she led a Nigerian team and struck a deal with the Paris Club to pay a portion of Nigeria’s external debt of $12 billion in return for an $18 billion debt write-off. She published the State’s monthly financial allocations from the Federal Government in the newspapers and many citizens for the first time got to know that their States were richer than many African triage entities.
As the bloated Cabinet of the Jonathan Executive Council trudged towards the end, very few can argue that the double Minister, and therefore, the “de facto Prime Minister” in many ways, elevated the ratings of the Federal Government. In order to close on a veritable scientific analysis of her legacy, we should ignore the persistent persiflage thrown from the glass windows of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Kaduna State governor-elect, Nasir’ El Rufai. The Ribadu, and his now weary assistant, Ibrahim Lamode wiped out the 419 confraternity took their gold watches but closed the files on the pirate governors and senators of Rome, who stole at home. We cannot understand the feud when the platonic brilliant Soludo as ex-Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria contributed to the downward spiral of the once formidable naira. So irresponsible was the apex Bank’s printing of the Naira denominations, the N500 naira note consequently has come to replace the former 50kobo knock about change! Where is Obama’s common sense Economics? Moreover, Prof. Soludo, Mansur Muhtar and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala wrote the piece, “Debt Trap In Nigeria”: Towards A Sustainable Debt Strategy.
So, why all these sudden clashes of opinion and why are these scholars standing in the market square, unlimited in their employment of the language of the guttersnipe? Why are these permanent actors on our corridors of power suddenly at each others’ throats? For good or bad, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Ribadu, Rufai El Nasir’, Ezekwesili and Soludo, before we forget, at a time, were in the Kitchen Cabinet of General Obasanjo’s administration. For the records, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the Chief Accounting Officer of the Federal Government, when the later confidently prepared full indemnity compensation for the victims of the Zaki Biam Massacre.
We understand that the voucher for the Court awarded sum of Forty One Billion, Eight Hundred and Ninety Eight Million, Nine Hundred and Eighty Three Thousand Six Hundred Naira has been raised under her Finance Ministry. For the records, the Finance Minister is the Chief Accounting Officer of the Federal Government, when the Federal Government negotiated a quick deal to pay the victims of the Odi Massacre the lump sum of Fifteen Billion Naira, following a Court Order which awarded over 37.6 billion naira to the Odi victims of a Federal Army democide. As the Federal Minister of Finance and the most influential in the Cabinet who supervised the payments of these huge indemnities, why did she forget to demand for the same overdue compensation for the victims of the mother of all genocidal acts of the Nigerian Military? Asaba, Ishiagu, Igbodo, Ogwashi-Ukwu seven Onukwu brothers?
Furthermore, she quickly approved payments when the President established nineteen universities to be built mostly in the Northern part of Nigeria. Her fellow feminine Minister of Education quickly found locations for those universities including a new university in Katsina and one at Otuoke. Later she was to approve payments following fresh approval from the Presidency for another batch of twelve Federal Universities. Asaba, the first Capital on the Niger, is the only capital city in the whole thirty six states of the Federation that has no University, No Polytechnic, No Library, No Teaching hospital, No Stadium!!
While history would hopefully acknowledge her strides and uphold her financial management which ultimately led to the incremental growth in our economy, the Princess, unlike Queen Elizabeth 1, the first female genius to come to power “loved, feared and blessed by her own”, would be despised by her own. Queen Elizabeth 1, a protégé of the platonic school reigned over the British Empire and from 1570 to the close of that century expanded the Anglo-Saxon influence beyond the “setting of the Sun.” Her investment in Literacy, War and Science pronounced English, the Lingua Franca of mankind.
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on the other hand, as the de facto Prime Minister for two terms in the last dispensation batted no eyelid as her Anioma Community was politically handcuffed, her rich heritage plundered and her proud civilization smothered almost to extinction by her phalangist expansionist neighbours
