Politics / Remembering Umaru Musa Yar’adua – Ten Things You Should Know About Him by semasir: 6:39am On May 05, 2020
On this day, 10 years ago, 5th of May 2010, Nigeria lost her 13th President Umaru Musa Yar'adua.

He once said: dead or alive, Nigeria will become one of the greatest on earth.

Former President Umaru Musa Yar'adua with his wife, Turai and daughter in the late 70s when he was a University lecturer

Here are ten (10) things you should know about him:

1. He was born on 16th August 1951 into a titled Fulani family in Katsina; his father, Musa Yar'Adua, was a Minister for Lagos in the First Republic

2. Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was the first Governor to declare his assets in 1999 and remains the only Nigerian Head-of-State to publicly declare his assets on his own free will.⠀

3. He had ₦856,452,892 in assets, ₦19 million of which belonged to his wife. He also had ₦88,793,269.77 in liabilities.

4. He went to Saudi Arabia in 2009 to receive treatment and returned on 24th February 2010 but he died on 5th May 2010 at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

5. Umaru Yar'Adua married Turai Umaru Yar'Adua of Katsina in 1975 with seven childrenand (five daughters and two sons) and was married to Hauwa Umar Radda from 1992 to 1997; they had two children.

6. Three of his daughters are married to former Governors - Zainab is married to Kebbi State governor Usman Saidu Nasamu Dakingari; Nafisa is married to the former Isa Yuguda the former Governor of Bauchi State; Maryam is married to Ibrahim Shema the former Governor of Katsina State.

7. Yar'Adua's first employment was at Holy Child College in Lagos (1975–76). He later served as a lecturer at the College of Arts, Science, and Technology in Zaria, Kaduna State, between 1976 and 1979.

8. During the transition programme of General Ibrahim Babangida to the Third Republic, Yar'Adua was one of the foundation members of the Peoples Front of Nigeria with other members such as Atiku Abubakar, Baba Gana Kingibe, Bola Tinubu, Sabo Bakin Zuwo, Wada Abubakar, Abdullahi Aliyu Sumaila and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

9. He defeated his closest rival, Rochas Okorocha on 16 - 17 December 2006 as the presidential candidate of the ruling PDP for the April 2007 election, receiving 3,024 votes from party delegates; Okorocha received 372 votes.

10. He won the 21st April 2007 Presidential Election, with 70% of the vote (24.6 million votes) against Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar
Yar'Adua proposed a government of National Unity when he assumed office hence two opposition parties, the ANPP and the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), agreed to join his government. His new cabinet was sworn in on 26 July 2007. It included 39 ministers, including two for the ANPP.

His tenure also had the following positives:
-Increased Minimum wage
-Increased Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police Force salary
-increased NYSC allowance
-Reduce petroleum price
-Gave amnesty to the Militants

Former President Goodluck Jonathan eulogised him thus:

"Nigeria has lost the jewel on its crown and even the heavens mourn with our nation tonight.

As individuals and as a nation we prayed for the recovery of Mr President. But we take solace in the fact that the Almighty is the giver and taker of all life."

Health / Highlights Of Sanwo-olu's Press Briefing On COVID-19 This Evening by semasir: 7:11pm On Apr 20, 2020
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, while addressing the public  on the pandemic in the state this evening has said that cases of COVID-19 has increased because the state have ramped up testing for the virus.

Sanwo-Olu also said it is dangerous to lie about your travel history or contact history to healthcare workers.

He then advised that members of the society should desist from stigmatization when it comes to people infected with COVID-19.

Other highlights from the press briefing includes:

- Lagos State is in the process of reviewing applications from private hospitals who want to be able to treat COVID-19 cases.

- From next week, the state is going to be making face masks compulsory.

- On security, the situation has improved considerably in the past couple of days. Various criminals, up to 150, have been picked up and are being prosecuted.

- On Ramadan, obey the laws of the land and note that any gathering of people numbering above 25 is not acceptable.

Responding to questions from the press, Mr. Governor noted the following:

- On the hazard allowance for health workers which a reporter, Dayo, said was pegged at ₦5000, Mr. Governor noted it as fake news and urged the reporter to make investigative journalism as there are now plans to increase allowance for this month; the least person he said earns as low as ₦20,000.

- Reacting to the response that the hospital First Cardiology Consultant, FCC, Ikoyi denied having the late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari despite the Commissioner for Health confirming it, Mr. Governor reacted that the wrong person probably answered the question based on how the journalist asked. He however noted that the hospital was duly accredited even before the arrival of the late Chief of Staff.

- People who lied about their travel history will be apprehended and prosecuted as the government is working on 3-4 names and will be published and made scapegoats.

Who is Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the new Emir of Kano?

Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero has been announced as the new emir of Kano. The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji made the announcement few hours after Muhammadu Sanusi ll was dethroned.

Sanusi ll was dethroned over alleged disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies. Consequently, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero was immediately appointed to occupy the vacant position and we have listed few things you need to know about him here:

Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero is the son of the 13th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Dr. Ado Abdullahi Bayero, who reigned from 1963 till his death in 2014. The new Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, was born in 1961.

He attended Kofar Kudu Primary School in Kano Municipal and thereafter Birnin Kudu Secondary School in the present Jigawa State before he proceeded to Bayero University Kano where he obtained a degree in mass communication.

Bayero also studied at Aviation School Oakland in California, USA and did his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) at Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Makurdi, Benue State. After his national service, Bayero was employed by Kabo Air Limited.

The emir was turbaned as Dan Majen Kano and District Head of Dala Local Government in 1990 when his late father, Ado Bayero celebrated his 60 years anniversary.

In the same year, his late father married for him two wives at the same time. Aminu was later promoted to Dan Buran Kano and then named Turakin Kano. Aminu was also Sarkin Dawakin Sakarin Gida Kano before elevated to Wamban Kano and then named emir of Bichi.

He was named the emir of Bichi in 2019 after Kano State governor Umaru Ganduje created four additional emirates. He is now the 15th Emir of Kano in the ruling Fulani dynasty.

Politics / Video: Tinubu Visit Buhari, Speaks On 2023 Presidency, ‘third Term Agenda’ by semasir: 4:35pm On Jan 07, 2020
A national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday has cautioned against the haste in debating which zone of the country should produce the next president now.

Tinubu, who spoke with State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, said such would affect the pace of governance by President Mohammadu Buhari’s government.

He cautioned that discussing 2023 the presidency would distract the government from providing people-oriented services such as roads, and other development agenda of the administration.

When asked what informed the visit, Tinubu said he visited the leader of his country, look at things and wish him well for this new decade and make some points on the stability, security and a number of issues around the country.

He also noted that Buhari's new year message resonated very well and that any reasonable politician who has worked with him knows that he will not contest in 2023 and he has the courage and character to refuse such a temptation if offered to him.

Religion / Can Polygamy Make Man Lesser Christian? by semasir: 12:52pm On Nov 17, 2019
Since the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden, man has been continually searching for things to fill the vacuum created by his fall.

This crave for satisfaction has made man to seek fulfillment from mundane things, and one of the areas man has ventured into for fulfillment is polygamy.

This is a situation where a man marries more than one wife.

Many have observed that polygamy is common in most African churches and is even practiced among the clergies.

This practice, they said, have wrecked many as peace and tranquility at homes have been sacrificed on the altar of unhealthy rivalries and jealousy, leading to loss of lives, even as destinies have also been altered in the process.

Sunday Independent had a chat with an octogenarian, a husband to many wives, who commands a lot of influence both in the Nigerian political space and in his church (names withheld).

He attends one of the orthodox churches that frown at polygamy.

According to him, he never intended to marry more than one wife, but the crave for more sexual satisfaction made him to have many wives.

But his church recognised only his first wife. He added that his only regret in life was marrying more than one wife.

“I have lived my life the way I wanted it, but my only regret is marrying more than one wife, and my church does not allow a man to marry more than one wife; you can imagine the burden of guilt I have to carry every day.

“Marrying many wives has denied me good positions and I would have achieved more if I had married only one wife,” he stated.

In an unrelated scenario, a polygamist who simply gave his name as Sam said he is married to two wives, and it does not make him a sinner. He maintained that he never intended to marry more than one wife.

“I never knew I would marry more than one wife; I and my first wife got married as virgins but few years into the marriage, we started having issues, and we finally divorced.

“Today I am married to another woman and I am not regretting my decision; I am a born again Christian, I have good relationship with my God which is more important to me,” he asserted.

In a recent interview with Sunday INDEPENDENT, Elder (Dr.) Napo Emuchay, President of African Instituted Church (OAIC), stated that the culture of polygamy in the African churches would no longer be allowed.

In his word, “Some members of the OAIC are polygamists particularly the African Church. We are saying going forward, the younger generation should not embrace the culture of polygamy.

“Going further, it is no longer acceptable; we won’t appoint you to hold any administrative position. In the community of Christians, you cannot represent us.”

He continued, “I cannot see a polygamist coming to stand in the election as the president of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

“You can’t be the number one Christian in Nigeria as a polygamist. The World Council of Churches goes against it.

“If you are a priest, the Bible is clear on it. If you are a priest, you should be the husband of one wife, simple. It is going to be part of our byelaws,” he stated.

Responding to a question on what would become of members who are polygamists already, he said, “They can run their churches but they cannot represent us. They won’t hold any administrative office.

“They can be members, in fact some of them are founding members of OAIC, but we are saying that going by the current wave within the Christendom, they cannot hold any administrative position.

“They can stay as members but they can’t represent us. We cannot make you elder in charge or provincial chairman.”

Emuchay noted that though the directive would be hard on some members, nobody was asking those with more than one wife to send their wives out.

“The issue is that we know it is going to work hardship on some people. We are not saying people who have two or three wives should send their wives away but they have to live with the burden.

“Going further any young man or the younger generation who steps into polygamy should know he stands no chance within the priesthood, but you can be a member.”

The elder stated further that it is an anomaly within the Christendom to be a polygamist.

“It is an anomaly within the Christendom to be a polygamist. Of course we cannot accept that anomaly.

“If you say okay, let us be operating like that, it becomes an accepted anomaly. We have to draw the line at some point. We are not saying it is a sin,” he said.

He added, “What we are saying is that if you want to be a priest, you will not have two wives. If as a member you have two wives or more then you know your growth is limited. Like in Eternal Scared Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Church (ESOCS), there is a rank you cannot exceed.”

Rev (Dr.) Paul Ndeobi, Senior Pastor, Straightgate Church Lagos, while contributing, noted that polygamy started from the descendants of Cain, which was caused by the fall of man.

He said, “Polygamy started from the descendants of Cain in the Bible. After creation, man started having cravings to marry more than one wife.

“But from the beginning, God’s intention was for man to have one wife. But when man lost his divine nature, he began to crave for things to satisfy himself and to fill the vacuum caused by his fall.”

He continued, “Man began to crave for multiple sexual relationships, he began to look for how to build cities, beautiful gardens and create happiness and joy.

“This has continued to elude man because the only thing that can give man joy is God.”

Ndeobi noted that one’s marital status does not determine whether one will make heaven or not.

“It is not marriage that connects a man to heaven, what qualifies a man is by accepting Jesus as his Lord and personal saviour, not the number of wives you have.

“If somebody is born again and as a child of God marries one wife and doing the will of God, he will inherit the kingdom of God,” he said.

He added, “The scripture gave us a recommendation on how a man can live as husband and do the duties of a husband to his wife, the scripture did not call it wives but wife.

“There is no marriage in heaven; marriage is for procreation here on earth and I don’t believe being a polygamist will make you a lesser or higher Christian.”

Apostle S. Williams Muel, Senior Pastor of Fellowcitizens International Centre, Ekiti State, in his view, argued that if one says that being a polygamist makes a person lesser Christian, it would mean that biblical fathers of faith who married more than one wife were guilty of same.

“When you say been a polygamist makes a man a lesser Christian, what do you have to say about Solomon, Abraham and Jacob?

“Would you say these people are lesser Christians? What of David that married many wives, yet God said ‘he is the man after my own heart’?

“The New Testament is trying to set back the original order of marriage set by God. I believe strongly that God’s intention for man is to marry one woman,” he stated.

He continued, “This is because when God created Adam, he made Eve and not ‘Eves’. And here is what God intends to deal with in human beings, especially men; God wants men to be contented and satisfied with one woman.

“Looking at polygamy, you will discover that the disadvantage is greater than the advantage.

“Also in a polygamous setting, it will be hard for you not to witness an atmosphere of strife and jealousy. You can’t satisfy the women the same, you are going to like one more than the other.

“Let’s assume you can manage it as a man, the women might not manage it; if any of these women is not born again, she might start to consult other spiritual mediums.”

The cleric stated further that most of African problems could be traced to polygamy.

“Some of the problems we are having in Africa originated from polygamy whereby a lot of mothers have to use charms to protect their children.

“Looking at the disadvantages of polygamous family, why will somebody want to bring his unborn children to such family?

“When you marry more than one wife, there is the possibility of falling into errors that can take you to hell and also affect your Christian life. I want men to be disciplined in the area of marriage,” he concluded.

Baba Israel Akinadewo, Supreme Head of Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Church (MCCSW), during the regional meeting of Organisation of African Instituted Churches, delivered a paper entitled ‘Celibacy, Marriage and the Future of the Organisation of the African Instituted Churches in the Contemporary Nigerian Church’.

He said the common practice of polygamy among leaders of African churches makes them despised by leaders of other denominations. He noted that polygamy will no longer be welcomed.

“Polygamy is one of the issues in Christianity that can bring one’s image down. The fact remains that there are lots of leaders within the fold that are still practicing polygamy.

“The truth of the matter is that polygamy will no longer be welcomed in OAIC.

You can’t be a polygamist and have peace at home or be spiritually concentrated, which will in turn affect the effectiveness of church administration.

“The Bible insists that Christians, particularly a leader, be good husband of one wife. I appreciate President Emuchay and other leaders for having the courage to proscribe polygamy,” Akinadewo said.

Politics / Lagos PDP Elect New Executive Despite Restraining Court Order by semasir: 7:52am On Nov 14, 2019
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State on Wednesday elected Mr. Deji Doherty as its new chairman.

Justice T.A.O. Oyekan-Abdullai had ordered the parties to keep the peace and maintain the status quo until November 18 when the motion on notice will be argued.
