A marketer of Petroleum Products, Mr. Bello Mohammed, has urged the National Assembly to enact a law to make oil pipeline vandalism an offence punishable by death. Mohammed said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Sunday. He was reacting to events leading up to the latest pipeline explosion, which led to the death of over 30 persons in Arepo, Ogun State. He said the activities of vandals were not only causing environmental pollution and sabotaging the economy, but also claiming lives. Mohammed said, “The National Assembly should enact a law that would make pipeline vandalism a criminal offence punishable by death just like armed robbery. “Those engaged in it have taken their criminality to an unacceptable level, they now carry arms with which they kill Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation officials and security agents. We have lost so many lives to pipeline explosions that we cannot continue to let this happen.” He said transporting oil products through pipelines remained the cheapest and safest means of conveying the products. According to him, the deplorable state of roads has led to cases of oil tankers falling and spilling their contents. Mohammed said efforts being made by the Haruna Momoh-led Pipeline and Products Marketing Company to bring various oil depots back on stream should be supported. He also appealed to the National Orientation Agency to sensitise members of the public to the dangers of pipeline vandalism to save the environment and preserve the country’s economy. http://www.punchng.com/news/oil-marketer-advocates-death-penalty-for-pipeline-vandals/ |
President Goodluck Jonathan President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday said despite the various challenges currently facing Nigeria, it was too old to disintegrate. Having been together for about 100 years since the amalgamation of the North and South protectorates in 1914, the president said it was too late for any region in the country to ask for a “divorce.” Jonathan spoke during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day inter-denominational service at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja. He said, “In 2014, we are going to celebrate our centenary; our 100 years of existence. “You cannot stay in a marriage for 100 years and say that is the time you will divorce. If there are issues that we have been managing, we will continue to manage them. We will not talk about separation. “I always say that all nations of the world have their own history. Sometimes, people question the unity of this country, especially when you talk about the amalgamation of the South and North in 1914. “If you look at the history of very big countries, some have very ugly past. It is for us who are alive today to reshape our future. We should begin to talk about those things that will bring unity and development.” The President also warned leaders at all levels to desist from divisive tendencies, saying the country would overcome some of its challenges if the citizens loved one another and live in peace. He said, “ If our leaders at all levels, whether political leaders, community or religious leaders, talk more about those things that divide us instead of those things that bring us together, then we will be encouraging younger ones who know little or nothing about the history of this country to do things differently. “So, the best gift we can give to the armed forces and sister organisations, is for us in our daily utterances and activities to emphasise the need for us to live in peace, love ourselves and unite. “Some people talk about disintegration of Nigeria. Even at political level, some people take it as a weapon of self-seeking when they want to discuss politics. “My conviction and I believe that of everybody here is that Nigeria will continue to remain a united nation. “Nigeria will not disintegrate. Anybody who is doing any research on sociology, psychology or political science can do his work, but Nigeria will remain one.” Jonathan, who spoke also on the country’s greatness, attributed it to its size and diversity. He said, “I always say that they say Nigeria is big, it is not because of the oil. There are smaller countries that produce more oil than us. What is the quantity of oil that we produce after all? “Yes, we do produce but our oil per unit person is insignificant. But we are appreciated and we are still reckoned with in spite of our challenges because of our size and diversity both of the human beings and the environment. “But when we work together, we will take this country to where we want to go. Where our children, our grandchildren and children yet unborn will be happy.” On the security challenges, the President noted that security agents were doing well. Jonathan said, “We sleep because our security agents have to stay awake. In some cases where things happen, people blame them. But for those of us who get daily reports about the security challenge we have, we know that these men and women have been doing very well.” |
The only surviving male child in the late Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa’s family is dead. Adamu Yakowa who was ill died yesterday in General Hospital Kafanchan, Kaduna State at the age of 51. His death came less than a month after the death of his elder brother, Governor Yakowa in a Naval chopper crash in Nenge village, Bayelsa State. “Adamu, a retired Vehicle Inspection Officer [VIO], fell sick the same week his brother, Yakowa died. The late Adamu was a gentleman and peace loving. “He left behind his wife and five children,” a close member of the family, Engr. Micheal Dos said. |
“Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when He was 12 years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled their days, as they returned, the child, Jesus, tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and His mother knew not of it. “But they, supposing Him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances. And when they found Him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking Him. “And it came to pass that, after three days, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard Him were amazed at His understanding and answers. “And when they saw Him, they were astonished and His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing. “And He said unto them, how is it that ye sought Me? Knew ye not that I must be about My Father’s business? And they understood not the saying, which He spoke unto them”. Luke 2:41-50 This scripture is quite familiar to several people as it tells us the story of how Jesus followed His earthly parents to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. But our concern here is not just the story. We want to examine what happened to Joseph and Mary that Jesus was missing from their midst and they never knew it. “Since it happened to people like Joseph and Mary, it could happen to anyone. As a matter of fact, there are several people, churches, and fellowship groups in whose lives Jesus is presently missing and they do not know it. This then calls for a careful study of this incident in order to learn wisdom for our lives and our walk with God. It will be a very costly assumption to think that you are a child of God, that God is with you and that Jesus is in your heart, only to get to the gate of heaven and discover that you never knew Him or that you missed Him along the way. At that time, it will be too late and eternity will open up to you on the other side, which is hellfire. There is therefore an urgent need to pay close attention to this matter. The Bible said, “Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover ...” Vs. 41. This is one thing you should note as we prayerfully go on in this study. Mary and Joseph were not careless, ungodly people. They were quite religious. They went every year to the feast of Passover. They were not people who absconded from church; they were not even people who went to the temple occasionally. They went regularly. Maybe you are such a person who has never missed any of your church meetings and programs, Joseph and Mary were people like you. The Bible records that when Jesus was 12 years old, they went with Him up to Jerusalem as they had-always done. Think a little more about the background of Mary and Joseph. Mary was a woman that set herself aside for God. She consecrated her heart to God. Mary, though in courtship relationship with Joseph, with the consent of their two families and the wedding day already fixed, still maintained her virginity! Not many young people in this age care so much about being chaste. Not many eventually get married as virgins. They “spoil” themselves with premarital sex or fornication. Many even go as far as aborting pregnancies. But not Mary, she kept herself in the midst of such pressures and temptations. Now if such a person that has been working in the service of God (proper consecration), walking with a heart turned towards God, and in holiness, missed Jesus, then I would again like to remind you to consider this very closely. It could happen to you also! The pointers to missing Jesus What could have happened to Mary and Joseph that they missed Jesus from their lives? Remember, that Mary carried Jesus for nine months in her womb. She stayed with Jesus for 12 years. How could they have missed Him and not know it? Think…have you also missed Him? Examine yourself now… Akanni who lives in Gboko, Benue State is a teacher of the Word. He holds an inter- denominational fellowship which attracts Christians of all backgrounds. |

kokoA: Can you dig up those comments and post them here or you are just making baseless claims because you hear other people talk? It was Atiku and "Northern elders forum" in PDP that promised to make the country ungovernable. This government have tried over the years to label this same Buhari as the sponsor of Bokoharam, what have they achieved? Absolutely nothing! Buhari might not be a saint but he is more than a hundred times better than all the PDP politicians put together.yeah you are right,Buhari is beta than all the pdp polithieves |

The people of Egbe village in Yagba West local government area of Kogi State are battling to come to terms with the reality that a father could killed his son for ritual purpose in a their community, something which has not been witnessed in their living memory. The villagers woke up on January 1, 2013 to discover that one of them, Hosea Folorunso, allegedly killed his four months old son, Sunday Folorunso, in mysterious circumstance. Daily Trust learnt that the herbalist allegedly killed the baby at night, dug a shallow grave in his compound and buried the corpse to conceal the crime. Kogi State commissioner of police, Alhaji Mohammed Musa Katsina, confirmed the arrest of Folorunso, saying that he had confessed to carrying out the act in the course of investigation. Residents of the area were not willing to speak to journalists, but one of them who identified himself as Ajayi Michael said the news came as a rude shock to them that a father could kill his child while others were in the church praying to witness the arrival of the New Year. He said on the fateful day, many residents of the village went to Church to usher in the New Year and returned very late, saying that at about 5:30 am, they heard unusual wailing from the herbalist’s home. When people rushed to find out what was happening, he said, they were told that the herbalist’s four months old baby had died. Therefore people were surprised when police came to arrest him for allegedly killing his own son. “We have been neighbours for about 15 years, but because he is a herbalist and I am a Christian, we live miles apart. I don’t really know much about him and what happened,” Mr Michale said. Besides, some other residents who refused to speak on record said they believed the man must have done it for ritual purposes. Parading the suspect in Lokoja last Friday, the state police commissioner, Alhaji Mohammed Musa Katsina, said the suspect who is a herbalist in Egbe killed a four months old baby for rituals on December 31st, 2012 when people were at the church praying to usher in the New Year. According to him, the suspect who hails from Egbe in Yagba west local government area of Kogi state, at about the hours of 11:55 pm on the fateful day, quietly took the baby (Sunday Folorunso) who was deep asleep with the mother outside the house and killed him in a gruesome manner. “The suspect having killed the baby dug a shallow grave in his compound and hurriedly buried the corpse so that people would not know that he killed his own son,” the commissioner said. Katsina said the suspect was arrested by the police squad in Egbe following intelligence report and brought to the police headquarters for interrogation. He said after investigation, the suspect confessed to have committed the acts. Katsina added that the suspect led the police to where he buried the corpse and exhumed it. He said an autopsy was being carried out by a renown pathologist at the Federal Medical Centre to ascertain the cause of the death, and that the suspect would be charged to court after investigations are concluded. “I can only describe the situation as a season of madness because the baby is an innocent and defenceless human being who can neither hurt nor provoke anybody,” he said. Katsina called on members of the public not to hoard information from the police as they are determined to get to the root of the gruesome mother of the baby by his father. The suspect, Folorunso, who spoke to journalists at the police headquarters in Lokoja gave unbelievable account of how his son died. He said: “I asked my wife to prepare food before I return to the house and she told me she was going out to buy something with the eldest son. When I came back, I met her sitting down with our daughter so I said ‘you are sitting there when I asked you to go and cook for me?’ So I picked up a broom and wanted to beat her. “The woman took to her heels with the girl and I got annoyed and took the four months old baby and asked her to come and pick him since she was running away. As I held the baby, he turned into a cat and I immediately threw the cat on the ground and it turned to the baby again and when I went there to carry the baby, I discovered that the baby was dead.” When the baby was exhumed our reporter observed that red ribbons were tied round his hand. Meanwhile, the liaison officer 1 of Yagba West local government area, Mr Tunji Aro who spoke to journalists wondered why a father could kill his child for whatever reason. Aro assured the community that adequate security measures were being put in place to forestall a re-occurrence of such crime and urged them to be law abiding and always pursue legitimate means of livelihood. He called on the people to be prayerful and always report to the police any unpleasant behaviour, saying that if useful information had not been given to the police, the herbalist could not have been arrested for such action. |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said more could be done to reach out to the Boko Haram sect to find out what leads it to carry out acts of violence. In an interview with American television network CNN yesterday, Obasanjo suggested the Federal Government should adopt a dual-track approach rather than just cracking down on the group. “To deal with a group like that, you need a carrot and stick. The carrot is finding out how to reach out to them,” he said. “When you try to reach out to them and they are not amenable to being reached out to, you have to use the stick.” But Obasanjo said President Goodluck Jonathan was “just using the stick” in his efforts. “He’s doing one aspect of it well, but the other aspect must not be forgotten,” he said. Obasanjo has previously spoken in favour of the carrot and stick approach to Boko Haram, and in a BBC interview in September, he said he “believed the authorities are now adopting” this method. His interview with CNN yesterday was the first time the former president publicly said Jonathan is not using the “carrot” option in solving the Boko Haram issue. President Jonathan has repeatedly said government was willing to dialogue with Boko Haram but that the sect leaders needed to come out in the open first. Analysts suggest that reaching out to Boko Haram may be increasingly difficult because the group has split into different factions. Obasanjo said he had tried to reach out to the sect about a year and a half ago through a lawyer who was acting as the group’s proxy, and had asked if they had external backing. The lawyer told him that the group was receiving support from other Nigerians who have resources overseas or “other organizations from abroad,” Obasanjo said. “If they had 25% support a year and a half ago, today that support has doubled,” the former president said. Resolving the Boko Haram issue is key to Nigeria’s progress, according to Obasanjo, who now heads an eponymous foundation that is working to promote human security across Africa. “Boko Haram undermines security, and anything that undermines security undermines development, undermines education, undermines health, undermines agriculture and food and nutrition security,” he said. Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for numerous deadly attacks on mosques, churches and businesses in parts of the North in the past three years. The attacks on mosques and churches are believed to be intended to incite tensions between the two religious groups, hoping to drive a wedge between them. However, despite the ongoing challenges the country faces, Obasanjo said he does not foresee Nigeria ever splitting in two, into north and south. “We in Nigeria now know that it would cost us much more to break up than it will cost us to come together,” he said. In the BBC interview in September, Obasanjo said bad leadership contributed in propping up the Boko Haram sect. He said “inadequate education in the North…inadequate employment opportunities in the country, all that are part of what, if you like, is remote cause of Boko Haram as far as I am concerned.” He said the sect’s stated objective of imposing Sharia law on Nigeria will never work because of the religious diversity of the population. “Those who are on the other side, Boko Haram, and those who believe in their cause or waiting for their cause, know that it is not the war that they can win,” he had said. In November, Obasanjo also spoke on the need to forcefully tackle the insurgency, saying his successors did not face the Boko Haram issue like he did with the Odi killing of soldiers in 1999. Speaking in Warri, Delta State at an event in honour of the Christian Association of Nigeria president Ayo Oritsejafor, Obasanjo said, “My fear is that when you have a sore and you don’t attend to it early enough, it festers and becomes very bad. Don’t leave a problem that can be bad unattended.” Referring to the Odi crisis of 1999, he added: “I attended to a problem that I saw; I sent soldiers. They were killed, 19 of them decapitated. If I had allowed that to continue, I would not have the authority to send security anywhere again. I attended to it…. If you say you do not want a strong leader, who can have all the characteristics of a leader, including the fear of God, then, you have a weak leader and the rest of the problem is yours.” |
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday alleged that the Federal Government was plotting to discredit and silence key opposition leaders so as to stymie moves for merger of political parties ahead of 2015 elections. In a statement in Lagos yesterday, ACN spokesman Lai Mohammed said the plot was targeted at ACN leader Bola Tinubu, his CPC counterpart General Muhammadu Buhari and their associates. “Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is particularly a prime target of these evil machinations, because of his status as the leader of the country’s second biggest party, his progressive credentials as well as his electoral value,” Mohammed said. He said the PDP-led government wants to “cripple the opposition, by ensuring that nothing will be left of the integrity of its key leaders even if they are fortunate to make it to 2015.” “Some key government agencies have also been co-opted to dig up any dirt they hope can be plastered on the targeted leaders, while foreign intelligence agencies have been contacted in a desperate attempt to unearth any information that can be used to discredit and disgrace these major opposition figures thus distracting them from the merger plans. “Indications are that highly-combustible sectional and religious issues, that are being manipulated by desperate forces to divide and destroy, are not off the table as long as exploiting them can shut down the opposition. Or how else does one interpret a recent PDP statement that President Goodluck Jonathan is being criticized by the opposition because he is from a minority ethnic group? “And what about the continuous efforts, which have failed so far, to portray a key opposition leader as a sponsor of Boko Haram? His nomination as a ‘facilitator’ of some phantom peace talks was not an accident, but was carefully choreographed to portray him as a religious zealot and terrorist not fit to preside over the affairs of the nation,” Mohammed added. Senior special assistant to President Jonathan on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, could not be reached by telephone, and he did not reply to a text message sent to him last night. Also, PDP spokesman Olisa Metuh was not available for comments yesterday. http://www.news.dailytrust.com.ng/index.php/top-stories/85-fg-digging-up-dirt-on-buhari-tinubu-acn |
Breaking News! Nigeria’s University of Benin unveils ‘cure’ for HIV/AIDS. A cure for Human Immunodeficienc y Virus , HIV, and Acquired Immunodeficienc y Syndrome , AIDS, has been discovered, a Professor at the University of Benin said on Tuesday. Isaiah Ibeh, the Dean of the School of Basic Medical Science of the University, said in Benin that the herbal drug has undergone “series of successful tests”. “We are at the threshold of making history, in the sense that we seem to have with us something that will permanently take care of what over time seems to have defied all solutions. “We are talking about the latest discovery of an oral drug made from plants extraction in Nigeria for the possible cure of the pandemic, HIV and AIDS virus,” he said. Mr. Ibeh said research on the project started in 2010 and culminated in the development of “Deconcotion X (DX)– Liquid or Bioclean 11 for the cure of HIV and AIDS”. He said that while the existing retroviral drugs are intervention drugs for the management of AIDS, the new discovery is a possible cure. “We have tried to look at the product first; its toxicological analysis and discovered that it has a large safety margin. This means that if animals or human beings are exposed to it, they will not suffer any serious harm at all from the exposure. “It also helped us to know the quantity we can conveniently give to animals and will feel secure that nothing untoward will happen. We have also done the bacteriological analysis on it, after which we looked at its effect on the virus and the result was quite revealing and refreshing.” Mr. Ibeh also said that the drug had been exposed to series of medical examination both in Nigeria and in the USA. He added that the drug had performed well on patients with the HIV virus and had shown evidence of total restoration of damaged tissues. “The result showed an increase in the body weight of the individual administered with DX,” he said. “The body weight was statistically significant when compared with the control group.” He said that further tests were being conducted to determine the point at which “a patient becomes negative after being administered the drug?” “This verification is necessary because it is what is used to measure whether infection is still there or not. So we need to know the siro- convention time. “But preliminary results showed that of the five latest patients orally administered with the drugs, our findings is that up to seven months , three of them were siro negative while two were sill faintly positive,” he said. Mr. Ibeh appealed for support from the Federal Government and relevant bodies to assist the university with relevant equipment to sustain the research. -CULLED FROM PREMIUM TIMES |
