Education / Students Of Federal Polytechnic Oko , Atani Campus Cries Out For Help by Sleempapa(m): 12:53pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
According to students of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Atani Campus, the institution have been maligned with flood, armed and academic instability. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7937664_images_jpeg68d5535b971d558f594f10a5affd0a71 In the piece below, they are crying out for Intervention. Many Persons may not be aware that Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State have a campus extension at Ogbaru LGA because according to the Students, the setup where we study is called a glorified secondary school. While we lament about flood, the treatment and marginalization of the Management, we are yet not save in the community where we have been kept. We have passed the era when we lose 1 or 2 students every year, now some teaming and heartless individuals have put it upon themselves that they will not allow students to sleep in peace. Due to the internal crises witnessed in Oko polytechnic that made them to go on strike almost 4 times in this session, sad incidents have been witnessed in various lodges where students lives. At first it was raping of a student which was swept under the carpet in order not to tarnish the image of the girl affected, but the perpetrators of this ungodly act was not caught... Sometimes in January 2018, before we returned from the New Year break, some persons supposed to be indigenes (Though no evidence) burgled about 4 lodges which the leading lodge is Corpus Christi located at Senator Stella Oduah way, Akili Ozizor, they took televisions, beds, curtains, foodstuffs and the likes... Am sure there is no one that this will not cause heart attack to, the SUG body tried all they could, but nothing came out of it. Another one happened after about 1 month when they burgled virgins lodge, robbed and made away with student property especially computers because that's the course we study here; Computer Science and Maths/Statistics. Other minor robbery incidents silently took place where 1 laptop or android smart phone was stolen... The boom of them all happened in June/July when another lodge called Sea Side or Block Industry lodge was robbed. Here, they made away with 13 smart phones and 9 laptops . . . oh My God... Every investigative attempt carried out by those affected proved abortive. Please what is supposed to be the duty of the Police? We were thinking these were mere robbers we didn't know they were also demonic. On Thursday 27th September, they went to Atani Campus, used saw to cut the padlock where Student Fellowships kept their instruments, made away with 4 big generators of different fellowships... Thank God who showed mercy and 1 of them was caught, other two who are indigenes according to the confession of the one caught ran away, the items was recovered which the police have refused to release saying the Student Fellowships should Settle them.. Is Police our Friend? We are not sure. We think we have seen it all until on Sunday 8th October at about 11pm, they entered into 2 different lodges 1. THE Popular Grace and Mercy 2. Presidential Lodge (New lodge) behind Grace and Mercy. To show that this is a calculated attack, they came with engine boat according to sources, entered Presidential lodge, stabbed A student thank God he didn't die, made away with about 5laptops and student handset, television, beat up those they could and went free. The Question is Who is Behind These Acts?? For How long will they continue to attack us?? What did we do wrong?? Do we deserve such treatment because we came to study It is in this note we are Calling on the State Governor chief Dr. Willie Obiano, Senator Stella Oduah, Ogbaru LGA Chairman to; 1. Help us track and catch those behind these nefarious acts 2. Recover our stolen properties 3. Move a motion that this school be moved to main campus 4. While we awaits for number 3, let security be tightened... #SaveAtaniCampus Source; https://www.greenloaded.org/2018/10/students-of-federal-polytechnic-oko.html?m=1

Politics / Lagos Godfatherism Can't Work In Benue, Governor Ortom Tells Senator Akume by Sleempapa(m): 3:39pm On Oct 10, 2018 |
Benue state governor, Governor Samuel Ortom , has said that the type of godfatherism being practised in Lagos state , will never be practised in his state. Goveror Ortom made this remark while reacting to a comment made by his predecessor, Senator Goerge Akume, who in a recent interview said he regreted bringing Akume to government and that the governor has failed woefully in the discharge of his duties. Akume in his interview said Governor Ortom had realised over N500 billion in revenue since Ortom came into office and has nothing to show for it. Reacting to Akume's comment, Governor Ortom, said he was being attacked by his predecessor because he has refused to allow Akume control him and the finances of the state. Speaking through his media aide, Tahav Agerzua, Governor Ortom said while in office between 1999 to 2007, Akume diverted N2bn from the state coffers to pursue his senatorial ambition. “Akume’s criticism of Governor Samuel Ortom has nothing to do with performance but everything to do with Ortom’s refusal to be subservient and be subjugated to his (Akume’s) whims. It has become a trend for Nigerian godfathers to suffocate their godchildren for failing to be totally slavish to them. This is unfortunate of godfathers who see themselves as gods as it happened in Lagos State. Unfortunately for Akume, he failed to achieve the same selfish dreams for Ortom in like manner.” he said Source : http://www.greenloaded.org/2018/10/lagos-godfatherism-cant-work-in-benue.html

Crime / Prostitution: 8 Ghanian Ladies Nabbed Trying To Enter Kuwait Through Nigeria by Sleempapa(m): 5:51pm On Oct 09, 2018 |
Eight Ghanaian ladies have been intercepted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, for attempted human trafficking. Some of the Ghanaians, who were identified as Tordro Gifty (22), Odurowaa Millicent (20), Abotsi Gift (24) and Bisuat Fustina (25), had wanted to use Nigeria as a transit point to Kuwait before eventually landing in Europe for prostitution. However, Immigration officials became suspicious of the ladies, whose ages ranged between 20 and 25, when they approached them for processing at the airport on Monday. On interrogation, the ladies who were booked on Egypt Air, confessed that their sponsors actually advised them to use Nigeria as a transit point first to Kuwait, before proceeding to Europe. They also confessed that they entered Nigeria by road via Togo and Benin Republic. A source at the command confided in our correspondent that immediately they were arrested, the ladies were handed over to officials of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons (NAPTIP), who took them out of the airport for possible interrogation. The source said: “When our officers interrogated the ladies, they discovered that they had no genuine reasons for attempting to use Nigeria as a transit point to Europe. So, this led to further query from our officers. They eventually confessed that they were actually crossing to Europe, but had hoped to land in Kuwait first. “During interrogation, it was discovered that the ladies in question actually entered Nigeria through road from Ghana to Togo and then to Benin Republic. But, the fact is that since the current Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr. Muhammed Babandede came on board, he has increased vigilance at not just the Lagos Airport, but at other border posts across the country. “This is not the first time we are arresting human traffickers at this airport and we will continue to increase our surveillance to ensure that unscrupulous elements don’t use our command to perpetuate their criminal activities.” However, as at the time of filing this report, it was not clear if the apprehended ladies had been deported to Ghana for further prosecution or were still in the country. In June, 10 youths who attempted to use the Lagos Airport for trafficking to Moscow, Russia, for the World Cup tournament were arrested. The victims had tried to board a Turkish Airline flight to Russia, when they were intercepted by operatives at the airport. The victims comprised nine girls and one boy; five of them were said to be from Edo State, three from Delta State, one from Imo State and the last victim from Benue State.

Omisore , who defected from the PDP to the SDP some months before the election , said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar wanted to come and discuss with him before the rerun when he came to Osogbo but he (Atiku ) was prevented from coming by the leadership of the PDP in the state . A former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines , Dr Yemi Farounbi, had said this while narrating why Omisore decided to work for the APC candidate in the rerun supplementary poll held on September 27 . Farounbi said the same thing and Omisore , while addressing the party members , said he adopted everything the former envoy had said . He said the party opted to support the candidate of the party that was ready to implement the manifestos of the SDP because the party was for the best interest of the majority of the people. Omisore said, “ I want to adopt all what Dr Farounbi said. We gave them (APC and PDP ) our manifesto . We dwelled on payment of arrears of salaries, pensions and gratuities , on local content , employment for our youths and the reorganisation of the educational system , among others . “ We went to negotiation with a clear mind that Osun must be free and thank God our coalition has produced a new future for the state . Addition to what Dr Faroumbi said , the National Chairman of the APC , Adams Oshiomole , said clearly that our discussion was devoid of any financial commitment . He said they were ready to work . ” Speaking earlier, Farounbi had explained that the SDP leaders decided to support any political party that was ready to put the people of the state first , saying Omisore earned his respect more because he was selfless in arriving at who to support . He said the issue of arrears of salaries, pensions and gratuities which had impoverished workers and pensioners was given priority. The reorganisation of the education sector and local content were also prominent on their agenda. Farounbi said, “ Apart from these, we also said the state must return to 6 - 3 - 3 - 4. That contracts and services must be given to Osun indigenes ; that infrastructural development and food security must be given priority because our people must not be hungry and they agreed . “ The Senate President , Senator Bukola Saraki , was the first to come and he came from the airport to Ile - Ife with some senators and Dr Doyin Okupe . We gave him our manifesto and we waited for 24 hours but no response . We heard that they were saying that we wanted to reap where we did not sow . We heard that they said they would win without us and all that. “ Also , former Ogun State Governor , Gbenga Daniel , who is the director general of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation , called and said they were in Osogbo and they would come to see us. But they did not come . “ But former Vice President Atiku Abubakar called and expressed his regret for not being able to come . He said he wanted to come but the leadership of the PDP in Osun State said they should not come because they didn ’ t need us . That we should go and do anything we liked . ” Source: https://www.greenloaded.org/2018/10/why-i-didnt-support-senator-adeleke.html?m=1

Politics / James Manager Distrubutes N212 Million To Emerge As Senatorial Candidate by Sleempapa(m): 7:12am On Oct 04, 2018 |
James Manager, the senator representing Delta South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has emerged winner of the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Senatorial District for the 2019 general election. Manager, a fourth-term Senator, emerged the flag-bearer of the party in a money-dominated primary election held at the Oleh township stadium, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area of the state. Our correspondent who monitored the election witnessed the disbursement of bribes to delegates across the eight local government areas that make up the senatorial district at the accreditation centres, by Manager and his closest rival and member representing Warri North constituency in the state House of Assembly, Michael Diden, popularly known as 'Ejele'. It was observed that while the senator was distributing N200,000 each to the 1,063 delegates by proxy after accreditation, the state legislator gave N300,000 to delegates from his local government, Warri North, and N200,000 each to other delegates from the remaining seven local government councils shortly after their accreditation, also by proxy. Declaring the results of the primary shortly after collation of votes, the Returning Officer for the Delta south senatorial district primary election, Pedro Egharevba, said the incumbent senator, James Manager, polled 563 votes to beat his closest opponent, Michael Diden, who polled 490 votes. Egharevba announced that the former speaker of the state house of Assembly, J.F.K. Omatsone, scored three votes, while the fourth aspirant, Olivia Agbajoh, a former House of Representatives member, did not score any vote. There were also seven void votes. Speaking shortly after casting his vote, a delegate, who asked not to be named, said the N200,000 given to each delegate by Manager, as well as the N200,000 each by Diden to delegates from seven local government councils and 300, 000 to his Warri North delegates, was the sole right of the delegates. "This is the only time we can make free money from all these politicians," he said. "Senator James Manager is our own, and you know that we, the Ijaw, are more populated than the two other ethnic nationalities; that was why we decided to make him proud by giving him our vote. Let me congratulate James Manager for his victory." At the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Delta Central senatorial district primary election, the member representing Uvwie/ Okpe/ Sapele constituency at the House of Representatives, Evelyn Oboro, polled 586 votes to defeat former Governor, James Ibori's close political ally, Ighoyota Amori who polled 486, while Charles Obule polled six votes at Sapele local government council where the primary was held. At the cenotaph in Asaba, the state capital, the senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Peter Nwaovoshi, polled 506 votes to defeat his closest rival, Ned Nwoko, a former House of Representatives member who polled 453 votes to clinch the second position, while Paul Osaji, polled 216 votes to secure the third position. At Ogwashi-Uku, headquarters of Aniocha South local government area of the state, it was reliably learnt that at about 9am, wife of the former PDP National Chairman, Miriam Alli, who is contesting for the Delta North senatorial district seat under the All Progressives Congress (APC) allegedly invaded the venue of her parallel primary election with armed thugs, chasing and attacking party members.
