stopped herdsmen from entering my commun

Herdsmen on rampage

By Simon Ebegbulem

BENIN-THE traditional ruler of Imiegba Community, Three, Ibie, in Etsako-East Local Government Area of Edo State, Mallam Usman Ikeme, (Odashi II), disclosed yesterday that the killings by herdsmen in communities across the country had justified his earlier decision to ban herdsmen from entering his community.

He however, attributed the killings to some traditional rulers who, according to him, prefer car gifts to the security of their people, insisting that he will not entertain herdsmen in any part of his community.

Speaking to journalists in his palace in Imiegba, the royal father said: "Going by the current attacks on farmlands in many places in Nigeria including Edo North, I am very happy that I declined herdsmen’s request to come here. Sometime ago, their leader, Alhaji Adamu Fulani, came here and asked for land for grazing and I told him I could not grant him his request and deny our people access to their farmlands.

"We share boundary with Ogbona and Iraokor in Etsako-Central LGA and Apana-Uzairue in Etsako-West LGA. Our farmland is our heritage and as a responsible ruler, I cannot give it out for grazing or any other extraneous purpose, not with the insecurity all over the place now."

He appealed to other traditional rulers "who collect cow gifts from herdsmen and thereafter, give them accommodation and access to farmlands to change this act.

"Yes, we should love fellow human beings but have a moral duty to save our people from opportunistic attacks."

On how he secures his domain, Odashi 11 said his vigilante and hunter groups were mobilised and proactive, "In 2015, we wrote to Police Division in Agenebode. The DPO then was Ogwoke Chris. We got approval for our vigilante group, which always collaborate with our hunters to safeguard our farmlands and territory. I'd like to use this medium to ask the government to give them due incentive to encourage them."

An Anglican minister is feeling the heat after a blog post in which he urged congregants to “pray in the privacy of their hearts” for Prince George to be gay went viral. 

Very Rev. Kelvin Holdsworth, who belongs to the Scottish Episcopal Church, wrote the original post nearly two years ago. (A version was reposted on Jan. 27.) His words resurfaced on Twitter and in a number of media outlets ― including The New York Times, The Guardian and Time ― last week after the 4-year-old George’s uncle, Prince Harry, announced his engagement to American actress Meghan Markle.  

The piece, “How to change the Church of England,” outlined Holdsworth’s take on how acceptance of same-sex marriage would be achieved. Though marriage equality was legalized in England and Wales in 2013, same-sex marriages are not recognized by the Church of England.

The piece, “How to change the Church of England,” outlined Holdsworth’s take on how acceptance of same-sex marriage would be achieved. Though marriage equality was legalized in England and Wales in 2013, same-sex marriages are not recognized by the Church of England.

Holdsworth suggested that marriage equality advocates pray “for the Lord to bless Prince George with a love, when he grows up, of a fine young gentleman.”

“A royal wedding might sort things out remarkably easily,” he said, “though we might have to wait 25 years for that to happen.”

Prince George is third in line to the British throne, following his grandfather, Charles, Prince of Wales, and his father, Prince William. 

The minister’s remarks were condemned on social media. 


Religious leaders were similarly critical.  

Gavin Ashenden, a former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II and a Christian Episcopal Church missionary bishop, accused Holdsworth of using Prince George as “a gender-political football” among followers. 

“What is especially odd and incongruous is the fact that it is suddenly OK to pray for someone to be gay,” Ashenden told the BBC, “but totally unacceptable to pray for them to be free from being gay and to resume a sexuality that was in tune with their biology.”

Susie Leafe, director of the conservative evangelical group Reform, told the BBC, “As a Christian minister he should pray for all people to come to know the love of Christ, rather than a fine young gentleman.”

In a Dec. 1 blog, Holdsworth apologized for the outrage he had ― belatedly ― ignited, but stressed that his words had been widely misinterpreted. 

“I could spend the next few weeks defending that post and keep reminding people what it was originally about. However, it seems to me that isn’t likely to be fruitful,” he wrote. 

“The issues about the church and its capacity to welcome same-sex couples who want to be married remain important,” he continued. “I’m not interested in continuing it through a conversation about Prince George. I would urge others, those who agree with me strongly and those who disagree with me strongly to turn our attentions to the actual matter at hand.”

Nigeria is recovering from a recession

Nigeria's government plans to write to 500 wealthy Nigerians with property and trusts abroad, urging them to come clean about their tax status or risk being being prosecuted and fined.

In a statement, the finance ministry said it had come across cases where people declared as little as 10 million naira ($28,000; £21,000) as income, but purchased expensive property in Nigeria and overseas, owned "high specification vehicles" and funded luxurious events.

It urged Nigerians should take advantage of a tax amnesty, which expires in March, to regularise their tax affairs.

The statement added:

The first 500 letters are ready and will go out this week but there are many more. Receiving the letter is not an accusation of deliberate wrongdoing, rather a notice that the data suggests possible underpayment and a prompt to check compliance."

The moves comes as the government plans to to impose special taxes on luxury cars, cigarettes and alcohol in a bid to cushion the deficit in the 2018 budget of 8.6 trillion naira (£21.4bn).

The budget, unveiled on 7 November, aims to help the economy recover from its first recession in 25 years.

The government hopes to raise 60bn naira from duties on cigarettes and alcohol and about 2.5bn from “special taxes” on luxury cars, the local Punch newspaper reports.

Man..make you go london buy house with cash. When u no de even work...make u c wetin go happen.

Hedonistically:
Can you imagine such watery and nonsensical charges? How is it a crime in itself to have several inflows of money into one's account in spite of not having a "stable job"? And which law makes a person culpable for not being able to "satisfactorily account for" money in
his possession?

The EFCC is full of retarrrds and barely literate nincompoops, mostly of Northern origin. This is why the agency is so clueless and inefficient. Instead of you to carry out thorough investigations and gather water tight evidence, you would conduct stupid raids and charge people to court for flimsy reasons. After you would blame 'corrupt judges" for your inability to secure convictions.

—THE Fulani in Nigeria have said they will not accept cattle ranching because the country’s geographical location was not suitable for it. It’s caused by strangers fuelled by politicians, religious    leaders – Miyetti Allah   Besides, the Fulani said the species of cows they had, as subsistence livestock farmers, were not good for ranching in the country, saying they could only be confined to ranching if their livestock were replaced with breeds suitable for it. This was even as they said the anti-open grazing laws being established by state governments would die a natural death like ‘political sharia law’ in Zamfara.

According to them, the laws are being used as campaigns by some people to win votes in 2019 elections. Addressing newsmen, yesterday, in Abuja, through their socio-cultural association under the aegis of Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore, the Fulani insisted that events in history showed that ranching was not practicable in Nigeria and to this end, urged the Federal Government to immediately stop state governments from enacting anti-open grazing laws. National Secretary of Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore, Saleh Alhassan, who read the association’s prepared speech to newsmen at the event, called on the Federal Government to stop state governments, especially Benue and Taraba states, from going ahead with implementing the laws. He said: “The whole experiment of ranching in Nigeria is a total failure, you can google it, it’s there on the Internet for everyone to see. “ Right from the 70s,the old Gongola State had experimented ranching, the same with Kaduna State and even the old Plateau State. All the ranches collapsed because the geographical location of this country is not suitable for ranching. “In places where there are successful ranching in the world, the volume of rain per annum in those areas is at least four to seven months, that’s why you have grasses that can naturally be sustained. “At the same time, you must have the necessary breeds that will support even ranching. The current breeds we have in this country cannot be supported by ranching. “Anywhere you keep these volume of cows we have now, for two weeks, they will eat out everything and you will have ecological disaster, “he said.

Alhassan said the purpose of the briefing, coming barely a week after the previous one, was to further reassert the position of the Fulani on the anti-grazing laws enacted by state governors and their opposition to it. He said:  “ We view the anti-grazing law as an agenda to destroy our means of livelihood by visionless and desperate politicians. “Anti-grazing laws are nothing but populist agenda   designed by visionless and desperate politicians to destroy our means of livelihood. “This dangerous gambit must be nib in the bud by the federal government through the security agencies as it portends great danger to the cooperate existence of the country.

“These laws are oppressive and negative and are fundamentally against our culture as Fulani pastoralists,   against our economic interest and   against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “ It is important to note that inter-state movement of pastoralists is similar to inter-state commerce and it is only the National Assembly that can legislate on that aspect as captured in item 62 of the exclusive legislative list. So no state governor can decide to stop movement of pastoralists because that is their own form of commerce. So, they have gone against the constitution. “The laws do not take into cognisance our sociology, our economic interest, our production patterns, climate variations and factors that pushed pastoralists into these migrations. These migrations are not picnics, they are detected by ecological needs. “It is a common knowledge that the primitive form of agriculture practiced in Benue and Taraba states and indeed all over the country, is not consonant with global best practices. “ So why singling out the pastoralists and insist that they must ranch which is the global best practice? That’s out argument. “If the whole agricultural policy, the whole development of agriculture in Nigeria is still at this primitive stage, you cannot single out the herders who are also farmers that they must practice global best practice, it’s not possible.”

Alhassan insisted that Benue State government breached the constitution by stopping open grazing, given that the River Benue Basin, its tributaries and lakes were under the control of the federal government. “Again, very fundamentally,the River Benue and the tributaries and also the international routes and roads that pass through Benue don’t belong to Benue State Government, they belong to the Federal Government. Benue State Government has no jurisdiction over River Benue, its tributaries, the lakes, the river basins, they are all federal government’s. So how do you now start to legislate to   say ‘you are going to stop access to those natural resources?’ “Between January and and early May,is when pastoralists move to the river basins because that is the peak of dry season and most of the rivers pastoralists use to water their animals dried up and they now move towards the River Benue. “So designing a policy that will exclude the herders completely is wrong, what they should have done is to have restricted areas for the herders and then give them access to grazing corridors and watering points during those peak periods of dry season. “As cultivation comes up during the rainy season, these people naturally migrate northwest. So, it’s detected by climatic changes. That’s why we are saying it’s not possible, the law will not work because it’s not well thought out. “Then for you to create a ranch, the environmental impact assessment must be done on the areas earmarked for the ranch, and it must not take a minimum of two to three seasons. That’s to say you must do studies during the wet season, do studies during the dry season and then repeat it so that you compare before you can say this place is suitable for a ranch. “So ranch is technologically driven, it’s capital intensive and it’s not practicable for this kind of subsistence farmers we have, the livestock farmers are subsistence farmers. It’s just like saying nobody will cultivate his land if he doesn’t own a tractor, so how many people will go to farm?

“ So, it’s not that we don’t want to respect law and order but when you make an impossible laws, then you are not creating peace. You are either deliberately attempting to provoke conflict for either political reasons or you are being hoodwinked and deceived by desperate political advisers just probably because they want to get money out of you, they make you create laws that will create conflict.” The Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore scribe continued:”In particular, the Benue Valley which has been causing problem in land resources, we have issue of population and nature and pattern of settlement. It’s not just the herders that can be blamed for it. “If you look at it typically, the Tiv people have the culture of nomadic farming, if they farm this year here, the next year they move to another location and their culture of reproduction is such a manner that it has made useless of land tenure system. “ There’s   no Tiv farmer that will tell you that ‘we have a family land’   because of the fragmentation of the land, because of the number of children they have, they cannot inherit any parcel of land. So they now straddle along communities in the Benue Valley and neigbouring states’ lands belonging to other communities and fallow lands that pastoralists use for grazing, they will cultivate them in a very extensive primitive manner, occupying large hectares of land. “If they cultivate here this year, the next year, they move to other places. That is why they have problem in Nasarawa border communities, they have problem in Taraba border communities. All those areas are extensively being cultivated, there is no mechanization any where, and there’s no modern farming. So, with the pressure on the land resource, if you want to address it, you cannot just single out the herders and say ‘they must be kept in one place without making any provisions for them.’” According to him, the anti-open grazing laws were being targeted at Fulanis and their livestock. “And these laws, if you look at them, they are targeted at the pastoralists because one, you have not provided any space for them and you ask them to go and buy land to create ranches when the context of the law you created, you have already poisoned the minds of the people that own the land, that you are creating this law because of the crisis that is in place. So who will allow anybody to have access to the land? “So our point is that if the government is serious, they should make land available to us after all, the Land Use Act vests lands in the hands of state governors. So they should give us land so that we can practice our occupation.” He said contrary to beliefs in some quarters land trespass has been the source of Fulani and farmers crisis in Benue, it was rather cattle rustling, youth unemployment and what he called rural banditory, wondering why there was pending cases of land trespass in   any law court in the state. “I challenge the Benue State Government to tell us how many court cases that have to do with trespass on land are before the courts in Benue? Or is it that they don’t have faith in the judiciary that they don’t take cases there? “So, it’s not a question of trespass on land, that’s just the truth. I want people to understand that these conflicts we are having year in and year out, the major drivers are not on trespass on land. Rather,   the drivers are cattle rustling, rural banditory, youth unemployment and desperate politicians that want to create crisis so they can sustain themselves in power, “he added.

NigerDeltan:
Paul biya of cameroon

With Robert Mugabe's hopes of handing power to his wife in Zimbabwe over, which political dynasties are still going strong elsewhere in Africa?

Since the 1990s, multi-party elections and peaceful transfers of power have become far more common on the continent but a quite a few current leaders have succeeded their fathers, or are planning to hand power to their sons. (Daughters seem to be less favoured.)

Some dynasties have established themselves through assassinations, coups, and rebellions, while in Zimbabwe's neighbour, South Africa, President Jacob Zuma is hoping to hand power to his ex-wife in the coming years.

Togo: Oldest dynasty

Most Togolese have lived under only one family's rule

A former French colony, it has been ruled by the Eyadema family for the last 50 years, making it the dynasty that has been in power for the longest period.

And of all the governments currently in power in Africa, it is under the greatest threat of being overthrown in a mass uprising. Crowds of up to 800,000 have repeatedly taken to the streets since August, demanding an end to dynastic rule in the country of 6.6 million.



Protesters accuse the government of tinkering with the constitution so that President Faure Gnassingbé can remain in power until 2030. The government denies this, insisting that it will introduce a two-term presidential limit ahead of elections in 2020.

With the backing of the military, Mr Gnassingbé became president in 2005 after the unexpected death of his father, Gnassingbé Eyadema, at the age of 69. Later, he won two elections, which were denounced by the opposition as a sham.

Faure has shared, or has tried to share, the spoils of power with his family. He appointed his half-brother, Kpatcha, to the all-important post of defence minster after taking office.

However, the two fell-out, and Kpatcha was sacked as defence minister in 2007.

Faure accused him of trying to dethrone him. Kpatcha, in turn, accused the president of plotting to assassinate him. Faure won the power-struggle, had his half-brother arrested, and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

But his reputation for ruthlessness is nothing compared to that of his late father.

As a 28-year-old army sergeant, Eyadema was widely suspected to have fired the shots which killed Togo's first post-independence president. Then, on 13 January 1967, the third anniversary of the assassination, Eyadema himself seized power in a bloodless coup.

When he died, he held the title of Africa's longest-serving ruler. He had been on the political throne for 38 years.

Gabon: 'Kleptocratic regime.

Gabon's ruler Ali Bongo Ondimba (R) hosted football star Lionel Messi in 2015

Also a former French colony, it has Africa's second oldest political dynasty. A Christian convert to Islam, Omar Bongo took power 11 months after Eyadema, and ruled for nearly 42 years until his death in 2009.

He left his son Ali Bongo Ondimba, a fortune worth millions of dollars, and the country. He did win an election, although the opposition said it was rigged.

After France launched a corruption investigation against the family, the president of the oil-rich nation announced in 2015 that he would spend his entire inheritance on development projects, including starting a university and a youth foundation.

French police investigations identified that Bongo family assets included 39 properties in France, located in affluent areas of Paris and on the French Riviera, as well as nine luxury cars, including Ferraris and Mercedes, worth a total of $1.6m (£1m).

Rights groups say the Bongos have turned Gabon into a "kleptocratic regime", which loots its natural resources, oil wealth and rainforests - an allegation the family strongly denies.

In 2015 Argentinean football star Lionel Messi came under heavy criticism for visiting the Central African state.

He laid the first stone at the construction site of a football stadium for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bongo denied giving Messi money to visit Gabon, saying: "When I was in Barcelona a few years ago, I met Messi who had told me that he would come to visit me in Libreville," he said.

"It's a promise he made me. He is a man of honour who just kept his word."

Equatorial Guinea: Luxury cars and Michael Jackson gloves

The president's son, Teodorin Obiang, has been convicted of embezzlement in France

A former Spanish colony, it currently has Africa's longest-serving ruler, Theodoro Obiang Nguema.

Said to be one of Africa's most brutal leaders, he seized power in 1979 after overthrowing independence leader President Francisco Macias Nguema, his uncle, and having him executed.

According to campaign group Human Rights Watch, the ''dictatorship under President Obiang has used an oil boom to entrench and enrich itself further at the expense of the country's people''.

The president's 48-year-old son, Teodorin Obiang, is his deputy, putting him in pole position to inherit power.

Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, Teodorin is a fugitive from justice. In October, a French court convicted him in absentia of embezzlement.

It ordered the seizure of his assets in France, including a $29m (£22m) mansion.

He also boasted 18 luxury cars in France, artworks, jewellery and expensive designer fashions,

The Paris judge found that the president's son had used his position as agriculture and forestry minister to siphon off payments from timber firms who were exporting from Equatorial Guinea.

In November, Swiss prosecutors seized 11 luxury cars belonging to Mr Obiang junior. They said he had plundered his country's oil wealth to buy luxuries, including a private jet and Michael Jackson memorabilia.

Teodorin denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

Uganda: 'Playing God

President Yoweri Museveni is accused of wanting to be life president

A former British colony, it is ruled by ex-rebel leader Yoweri Museveni. He seized power in 1986, won a fifth term in 2016, may run for a sixth term and could eventually hand power to his son.

In January, the speculation gained impetus when Mr Museveni promoted Maj Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, his eldest son, to become a special presidential adviser in a reshuffle of army commanders.

Having graduated from British Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2000, Maj Gen Kainerugaba rose rapidly within the military. Last year, he was promoted from brigadier to major general.

Others believe that Mrs Museveni's wife also harbours presidential ambitions. Having served in government since 2009, she is currently the minister of education and sports in her husband's cabinet.

For now though, there is a push to give Mr Museveni, 76, another term.

Uganda's ruling party wants parliament to scrap the presidential age limit of 75, a move that could allow Mr Museveni to stand for re-election in 2021. It has led to ruling and opposition MPs brawling in parliament, as emotions rise over the plan.

The move has not come as a surprise. In 2013, renegade army General David Sejusa accused Mr Museveni of "playing God" in Uganda.

"The central issue is a political monarchy - a life presidency and then transiting [to] a political monarchy," he said.

"It is a terribly common African story. There is nothing strange about it," the renegade general added at the time.

DR Congo: Dynasty replaces an autocratImage

After just four years in power, Laurent Kabila handed power to his son

A former Belgian colony, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been ruled by the Kabila family since 1997, when Laurent Kabila stormed the capital, Kinshasa, with the backing of regional armies, ending the 32-year rule of Mobutu Sese Seko.

Kabila was assassinated in 2001 by his bodyguards, resulting in the military installing his son, Joseph, as president.

After serving two elected terms, Joseph was supposed to step down in 2016 as the constitution bars the president from running for a third term.

However, the electoral commission says it will be ready to hold an election only next year, leaving Mr Kabila in power until then, despite massive opposition protests and international condemnation.

His sister, Jaynet, and brother, Zoe, are MPs,

The family has built a huge business empire, with a stake in banks, farms, airline operators, a road builder, hotels, a pharmaceutical supplier, travel agencies, boutiques and nightclubs, according to Bloomberg news agency.

[b]South Africa: Divorcees makes a president

South African President Jacob Zuma (L) is backing his ex-wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (C), over his deputy, Cyril Rampahosa (R)

A beacon of hope in Africa during anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela's rule, it could be the next African country to have a dynastic succession, of sorts.

Its polygamous President Jacob Zuma is campaigning for his ex-wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, to succeed him as leader of the governing African National Congress (ANC) at its conference next month, and as president in 2019.

Ms Dlamini-Zuma deeply resents being described as President Zuma's ex-wife, and has complained about such headlines.

She insists that she is a politician in her own right who took part in the anti-apartheid struggle, served in various ministerial posts since the advent of democracy in 1994, and became the chairwoman of the African Union (AU) commission before joining the presidential race.

Her critics say this may well be the case, but Mr Zuma has chosen her as his political heir because she is unlikely to put him - the father of their children - in jail.

Mr Zuma has been accused of widespread corruption, with the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that he should be tried on 18 counts of corruption, racketeering, money laundering and bribery - all of which he denies.

His critics say he also needs his ex-wife in power so that his favourite son from another wife, Duduzane Zuma, is safe from prosecution.

Critics allege that he is abusing his relationship with his father to win government contracts for himself, and his business partners, the wealthy Gupta family. They all deny the allegations, insisting that they are not corrupt.

Ms Dlamini-Zuma's main challenger is Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, a former business tycoon and trade unionist. His supporters are hoping that the Zimbabwean crisis will boost his chances of winning, as ANC members grasp the dangers of a dynastic rule.

There was drama in Kenya's coastal city of Mombasa when two suspected car thieves, one of them with a snake around his neck, walked naked through the streets.

But it turned out to be a publicity stunt.

The men, covered in mud, were said to have been bewitched after stealing a car.

According to the Standard newspaper, the car owner had first reported his vehicle missing to the police but they could not find his vehicle.

The owner was then advised to seek the help of a local witch doctor who demanded a fee of $1,000 (£765), the Standard adds.

The witch doctor assured the car owner that the suspected thieves would be seen dancing naked in broad daylight on one of the busiest streets in Mombasa.

But a policeman, quoted on a Kenyan TV station, said this was a publicity stunt and four people have now been arrested in connection with the incident: the witch doctor, the two naked men and the man who reported that his car was stolen.

Oyo and ibadan peeps in the house is what the govnor did good or bad to ibadan land?

As the dust over the recent coronation of 21 kings of Ibadan is yet to settle, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state, on Saturday, gave reasons for pushing on with the coronation amid dissenting voices.

Speaking during an interview on the state owned television, Ajimobi said the crowning of the Obas would enhance the clamour for Ibadan state, encourage increased investment and prestige for the state capital.

Ajimobi who pointed to various commissions to review the Olubadan chieftaincy declaration by the administrations of Kolapo Ishola, Lam Adesina and Rashidi Ladoja, said the implementation this time could be attributed to his administration being the only one to have lasted more than four years.

According to him, persistent attempt at review was evidence of a change of the Olubadan chieftaincy desired by Ibadan indigenes.

Ajimobi further argued that he only okayed requests by majority of Ibadan indigenes and elders who demanded the review, noting that dissenting voices were simply political.

Beyond the Justice Akintunde Boade panel of enquiry as a platform for people to render their views on the review, Ajimobi said he consulted several times with the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji to key into the review.

“When I came in as governor in 2011, there was the preponderance of requests from eminentIbadan indigenes, leaders of thought like Chief Omowale Kuye. In fact, our father, Theophilius Akinyele wrote a book on the review which was submitted to government and to me.

The Ibadan Elders council met me and said they wanted change.”

“The reasons for this are that for state creation, having many Obas is important. Even if we were to have Ibadan state, would we have one oba?”

“For socioeconomic development, it is important as the Oba can draw in respectability of people and investments.”

‘The son of a former Olubadan told me that when the former Olubadan was to receive CON, he wondered why other Obas had a retinue to Obas accompany them to receive the award, but when it was his turn, it was just him and about four others , none wore crown, and he said he felt bad.”

“From my experience, every time I attended a ceremony, the people of Oke-ogun introduce many Obas. Ibadan is the most populated city in Oyo state and has one Oba while many small towns have Obas.”

“That was what informed having many Obas in Ogun state. Why can't we have Olubadan have many Obas? Why do you have a general, without colonels or majors? The majority of Ibadan people wholeheartedly supported what we have done as they initiated it.”

“The panel of enquiry was set up for many to say their own bit. When we set up the panel, we kept consulting.”

“All we have done is give the chiefs title, elevation, recognition, prestige, crown, and let them wear the attire.

"Much before Oba Saliu Adetunji became Olubadan, we have been discussing this. We were discussing this issue with him and several other stakeholders.”

“The voices of dissent are orchestrated voices, political voices. We have only one dissenting voice out of 11 that make up the Olubadan in council so the voices of the majority are counted. Check the gazette or white paper, nothing really has changed, the order on the chieftaincy lines remains,” Ajimobi said.

The National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba sociocultural organisation, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, tells TOBI AWORINDEthat President Muhammadu Buhari's resolve to clamp down on hate speech will worsen the issue

Why are you against calls for the rearrest of pro-Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu?

To start with, experience has shown that arrest cannot resolve the question of self-determination. Two years ago, who knew Nnamdi Kanu? Maybe he was just on the Internet or Radio Biafra. But when he was arrested and detained for over a year he became popular. You realise today that when he is addressing crowds in the South-East, thousands gather and follow (him). They (government) made him popular. If they rearrest him, they are going to further popularise him and bring into focus the issues he is fighting for. Why don't they deal with the issues, solve the nationality question and render his achievements ineffective? His arrest will not resolve the matter. Even if they sentence Kanu to death today, another person will rise - once they refuse to resolve the matter.

On the other hand, when you talk about the rule of law, that lady that symbolises justice is blindfolded. The essence of that is, she is no respecter of persons - she delivers justice to whomever offends the law. But then, you begin to go after Kanu and some people get up in Arewa land to say leave our land. The Kaduna governor says, 'Go and arrest them.' The vice president says, 'Arrest them.' The minister of interior then says, 'No, they said they were misquoted.' The thing the minister said they were misquoted on, they sat with governors from the North to say they were suspending the order (notice to quit given to Igbo in the North), and they were holding a press conference in Sheraton.

In fact, one of the (Arewa) youths, when they were looking for them, said, 'If I'm declared wanted, I will give myself up.' Even (for security agents) to invite them for a 30-minute chat and let them go, they didn't do that. When you refuse to do that, you create problems for the rule of law; you show that there's a double standard. That is not how to build an inclusive country. Not that we endorse everything that Kanu is doing, but we are saying in order not to overheat the polity, what we need now is (for the Federal Government) to address the issues that have given rise to agitations. If we begin the process of restructuring this country, the separatist groups will be at bay. But if we don't address these issues, you're giving them, added energy.

Do you agree that Kanu has violated his bail conditions?

That is left for the court to decide. I'm not the court. The court granted him bail and gave him conditions. The Federal Government should go before that court and let that court decide if he has violated the bail conditions. There are sanctions for it. But it is not the executive, the police or anybody that can determine whether he has violated his bail conditions. It is the court. They should go back to that court and if the court is complaining that he has violated his bail conditions, there are appropriate laws to deal with that.

Do you think his utterances and actions have been justifiable?

If there are things he said after he was granted bail that are in conflict with the conditions of his bail, put that before the court. Let the court adjudicate. But it is not Arewa youths that will determine that. It is not Tanko Yakasai; it is the court that will determine that 'these are your bail conditions, you have violated them and these are the sanctions.

But that is what the Federal Government is doing. It has gone back to the court to determine whether Kanu has violated his bail conditions.

When you are granted bail, that is not the end of the matter. The bail means you can go home while the case continues. They have a case in court; let them go to the court. It goes beyond the whole question of courts. Kanu has not been put before the court for killing anybody, burning property or doing anything wrong. All they are taking him to court for is for statements they said he made. Arewa youths made statements that threatened the unity of the country; they (government) said they should be arrested. The police did not arrest them. The minister of interior came out and started making excuses that the youths said they were misquoted. Why didn't he say Kanu said he was misquoted? Now, those who are in favour of (Kanu's) rearrest are from the same section of the country where the Arewa youths come from. People can begin to draw insinuations that they are quick to ask for Kanu's rearrest because he is not from their section of the country, while they are shielding those who are from their section of the country. That's why I'm talking about inclusiveness. So, it goes beyond taking Kanu to court. It's on the basis of the same question of what Kanu said that they arrested him in the first place. Arewa youths made pronouncements that threatened the unity of Nigeria. To date, the police could not invite them for a chat; (not) even to take them to a five-star hotel and interrogate them over drinks, pepper soup and groundnuts. To let them be roaming free and even for the minister of interior to be making very lame and unintelligent excuses for them - what kind of country are you building? The boys never said they were misquoted. When they suspended their notice to quit, they repeated everything they said. That minister should have resigned by now. We are not holding the fort for Kanu at all. We are saying if you want to apply the law, you must apply it evenly; not a law for a section and another law for another section. That cannot work. In fact, that will create more problems and give more sympathy to Kanu.

But Kanu has again made provocative statements, saying anyone who tries to rearrest him will die. What do you make of that threat?

If he threatens anybody, there are laws that deal with that. Like I told you earlier on, this is not about Kanu. It's about the rule of law. I'm not saying Kanu has not committed any offence on which he can be charged or tried. But we are saying, follow the due process of law. However, your rule of law should not be for Kanu only. The law you want to enforce against Kanu, should be enforced against anybody who has violated the law of the land, no matter where they come from. But when you flex your muscle and say you are doing a selective application of the law against somebody from a section of the country, you open yourself to all kinds of charges.

What is your definition of hate speech?

For me, hate speech is the deployment of any language or written materials to spread hatred, incite violence and other forms of abuses. But if you want to deal with hate speech, it must be qualified, so that we avoid a situation whereby it is subject to whims. It should not be subject to private interpretations of, in this case, the army or anybody. How can the army be the one to determine what hate speech is in a democracy? That is not acceptable. But if we don't deal with the cause and we're dealing with effects, it's just a waste of time.

Would you categorise the statements made by the Arewa youths and Nnamdi Kanu as hate speech?

Well, when you talk about hate speech in the land today, it is not only about Kanu and Arewa youths. Go all over the Internet, you will see the kind of spiteful, despicable talks that are going on. But if you're a social scientist and a thinker, you will understand that these things are not happening in a void. They are symptoms of a larger crisis in the nation. When we concluded the election in 2015, you saw the map of that election. Mark Siollun, the author of Soldiers of Fortune, looked at that report and wrote in the New York Times that, looking at the map of the elections, Nigeria is a badly divided country and that what Nigeria needs is a reconstructive surgeon, not a bulldozer. But we've been bulldozing; now, an institution of the state - those who are talking about hate speech today - when did they realise that hate speech is hate speech?

A little over two years ago, they were buying BlackBerrys for young people to spread hate messages, to get power. Look at many of the adverts that were going round during the 2015 general election; all kinds of stories, songs and campaigns that they promoted. There was no red line then. Now, they (Buhari's government) have come to power. What goes around comes around. If they were thinking about the polity, even when they were campaigning, there should have been some red lines not cross. There are certain kinds of speech you don't deploy in your campaigns. But there was no line they didn't cross during their campaign.

This is not only about the All Progressives Congress now. This is about our political class. They should know that whatever you do during elections, you are coming to deal with the consequences after. The people who are spreading hate messages today are now on the other side; they have turned their BlackBerrys against them. You cannot now say that you will ask the army to arrest people on social media and that it is the way to solve the problem. No. The way to solve it is from the root; to begin to build an inclusive country. We need to look at the structure of the country again, to renegotiate our nationhood. Were we not in this country about 20 years ago? Is this the way we were talking to one another? Is it that we have killed all the human beings and brought in new ones? No!

There are conditions giving rise to hate speech. It is those conditions we should deal with. Dealing with hate speech itself is a waste of time. Even if you kill all those who are indulge in hate speech now, for as long as the conditions that produce the hate speech are there, many more people will still rise making use of hate speech because Nigeria today is in a bad shape. There is tension all over the country; there is hate, and so, the speech is flowing from the conditions of fear, lack of love and lack of respect for nationalities. Go to the root of it; don't deal with the symptoms.

…‘Human parts for sale’ The spate of killings for ritual purposes is gradually assuming an alarming rate in Nigeria with little or no effort by concerned government agencies to checkmate the trend. One would have expected such pseudoscience acts to be a thing of the past going by increase in religious activities and in civilization.
But murdering people to appease the deities appears to be on the increase. These dastardly acts are carried out in a 21 st century, when other countries of the world are experimenting and advancing in technology. It is also shocking to know that some acclaimed high and mighty indulge in ritual killings. For instance, some politicians and government officials have been accused by arrested suspects and herbalists who allege that they use human beings for rituals in order   to sustain their affluence as well as remain in positions of power. Investigations revealed that cases of ritual killings and disappearance of persons are usually high whenever elections are around the corner. Just last week, this barbaric act assumed a cannibalistic dimension following the arrest of a suspected kidnapper alleged to have killed one of his victims and used his intestines to prepare pepper soup. The suspect, Roland Peter,  according to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police , Zaki Ahmed ,  abducted his victim  from his house on August 2017, adding that the suspect was at the verge of eating pepper soup and yam porridge when the police swooped on him and some accomplices.

These vampires hide under different covers to get their victims. For some, they kidnap their victims from various points , while others who pretend to be commercial bus drivers, pick unsuspecting commuters at bus-stop only to take them to their slaughter slabs to carry out what they know how to do best. killings for money rituals On August 17, 2017 , the lifeless body of the four-year-old girl was found  close to a shrine at 28 Ogbe Close in Iwaya area of Lagos, with her throat slit. In her case , the toddler who strayed from her siblings’ watch, on their way from the mosque, was suspected to have been used for sacrifice on the Ogun shrine which ironically is built in the same compound with her parents . Till date perpetrators of the dastardly act are yet to be fished out.

Suspected ritualist arrested A week earlier, precisely August 20, another lifeless body of an eight-year-old girl, Chikamso Victory , was found in the apartment of one Ifeanyi Chukwu Dike (23) at Messiah street , Eliozu area of Port Harcourt . Helpless and defenseless Victory was not only abducted by Dike, she was raped before she was killed. As at the time her body was recovered, some parts had been removed. They included her vagina, eyes, tongue and breasts which the suspect kept in a polythene bag awaiting the appropriate time to take them to his contacts. He was however, arrested by members of a local vigilante group while going to dispose of the body. But the incident assumed a laughable dimension following report by the Police that the suspect had disappeared from custody.

Elsewhere in Oyo state, on March 30, 2017 , a suspected ritualist,  Tunde Jimoh, who was arrested by the Police, gave a chilling description of how he and other members of his gang abducted their victim, Akintoye Oyeyemi, took him into a deep forest and murdered him in cold blood. Thereafter, they took the body to a Muslim cleric to prepare concoction for money rituals for him. At the end of the day, the wrists, heart and legs were cut off. Luck ran out on the suspect while on his way to dump the body in the bush. Not too long ago, reports had it that an evil forest used as ritualists’ den was uncovered in Enugu state with the recovery of fresh and decomposing human parts . The nation’s Federal Capital Territory is not speared from the rising trend of killing for rituals. Late last year, a dismembered body of an unidentified lady was recovered at the  Lower Usuma Dam junction, along Dutse-Bwari Road . One of her breasts was cut off, while the rest of the body was cut into two from the abdomen, an indication that the killing was for ritual.
Badoo ritual killing In Lagos state, the commercial hub of the country, different methods are devised by ritualists. One of such was the surge in the killing of residents by members of a dreaded cult group identified as Badoo Boys in Ikorodu area of Lagos. So far, over 50 persons have had their lives snuffed out of them by the perpetrators who were initially thought to be invisible, until they were decimated by the Police , under the watch of the new Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Edgar Imohimi, while he was the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations. Before the raid and subsequent arrest of over 200 suspected members of the cult group by the Police with the support of the Oodua peoples Congress, OPC local vigilante and the Neighborhood Watch Corps, Badoo Boys had been  unleashing an orgy of killings, during which they used heavy stones to crush the skulls of their victims. Their modus operandi included storming victims’ residences while they are asleep. It is suspected that they usually hypnotize their victims, as none of them had ever been conscious of their presence. They would, thereafter, smash heads of their victims with a grinding stone and after which they use a handkerchief to clean the blood and brain before leaving the scene. During interrogation, one of the suspects confirmed that each handkerchief stained with blood was sold for N500,000 . He further revealed that they were mere errand boys for rich politicians within and outside Lagos state. But in their case , the blood and semen stained handkerchief were used to prepare spiritual defence for well to do Nigerians.

Mad people in disguise

The latest method devised is the feigning of madness by these criminal elements. Recently in Lagos, some persons who disguised as lunatics were discovered to be using tunnels as dens for their activities. Two instances of note were along Lagos-Abeokuta road and Ile Zik, along Agege Motor road. The latest was an uncovered ritualits’ den Wednesday , at Challege bus-stop , Mushin, where some suspected members who posed as lunatics were found with sophisticated phones, four ATM cards and over 100 syringes with blood stains. One of the suspects was lynched by a mob while two others were rescued by policemen from Area ‘D’ command, Mushin.
Not too long  Nigerians received with shock, news of a den in Soka village, Oluyole Local Government area of Oyo state, where about 20 corpses, majority of which were   earlier declared missing   by their relatives, were found while 18 victims were rescued. From all indications, it was obvious that the den had been existing for long before it was uncovered, following a heap of victims’ clothes. One of the rescued victims was reported to have said he was kidnapped in Ogun while attending an interview. The most celebrated ritual killing appeared to be the notorious Otokoto saga in Owerri, Imo State where a businessman belonging to a cult was alleged to have used his apprentice for ritual. The boy’s corpse was later exhumed at the premises of Otokoto Hotel. It exposed many other bizarre acts in hotels.


Religious leaders also involved One would have expected such primitive acts to be going down, going by the increasing religious groups in the country. Regrettably,  some leaders of religious have been caught in the act. But investigations have shown that many evil men only use religion as a cover up. They are never true religious leaders. One of the ready cases that comes to mind was that of the arrest of a Pastor who allegedly killed a seven-year-old boy and buried his head where the church’s alter was mounted. This action was to ensure the influx of members into the church located at  Odokekere/ Odogunyan in Ikorodu area of Lagos state .
Elsewhere in Edo state and Ogun states, some pastors were also arrested over similar acts. Few months ago, an unidentified woman who left her abode in Sango Otta area of Ogun in search of spiritual cleansing at the place of a Muslim cleric popularly called Alfa , in Badagry area of Lagos, ended up being victim of ritual killing. A 61-year-old landlord,  Toafeek Hassan, who confessed to have slaughtered the woman , was found with her fresh human head and other body parts which were to be used to prepare concoction by the  alfa Investigation shows that female parts are more in demand than their male counterparts.  This is because of   what was described as the potency of some parts like the breasts and lower private parts in money rituals and other purposes by herbalists and occult groups. Ritual used to elongate life —suspect One of the herbalists who spoke with Vanguard at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID , Oseni Bello, admitted to be preparing concoction with human body parts but said he was not involved in the killings. Oseni disclosed that some of the rituals were done to elongate lives . He added that the heart was used to prepare concoction for boldness and fear.
He stated further that virgins   and   babies on the other hand , were used by some politicians and government officials   for ritual purposes as their blood is said to be used to elongate the user’s life span as well as fortify them against spiritual attacks. These are some of the reasons, he said, killings for rituals are on the increase. A particular case in mind was that of a South-West politician alleged to have been caught by his driver with a dissected day-old baby whose blood he was drinking. The incident as reported two years ago, occurred inside a bush, while the driver was taking his boss (names withheld) to a function. Half way into the journey, the politician was said to have ordered his driver to pull over. He thereafter, alighted and headed for a bush with a promise to be back. Having waited   without any sight of his boss, the ignorant and curious   driver reportedly went in search for him,only to meet   him stark naked and pouring the blood of a dissected baby into his mouth. Barely two weeks later, the driver reportedly   died under mysterious circumstance. The event that occurred   before his death was related by a Pastor friend whom the deceased   confided in before his demise.

The lust for money and power drives these people into ritual killings. While some kill to achieve this unfathomable dream, others   resort to digging graves   and removing needed human parts for ritual purpose.   Saturday Vanguard scooped that most guards at cemeteries connive with agents to sell human parts. It was learnt that  if a fresh human head is needed, an agent will contact some   cemetery workers ahead. In this case, the cemetery official will be on the look out for fresh dead bodies, preferably those of Muslims   who are usually buried within 24 hours after death. Immediately the body is interred, they exhume the body at night, cut off the needed parts and place the body back in the grave. Human parts for sale Those who patronize cemetery officials are usually herbalists, herbal traders and even prominent Nigerians who usually use middle men. Surprisingly, human parts   are sold in some markets in Nigeria. We gathered that a fresh human head could go for N60,000 and above, while a skull is sold for N20,000. Fresh legs are sold for N30,000 each while a decomposed leg is sold for N20,000. A fresh finger is sold for N5,000 each while the decomposed is sold for 3,000. Fresh intestines are sold for N20,000 while dry ones are sold for N5000. Pieces of fresh bones are sold for N2,000 and above. Public react Reacting to the upsurge , the president,  Association of Industrial Security and Safety Operators of Nigeria , AISSON Dr. Ona. Ekhomu called on the Nigeria Police to set up Special Ritual Murder Squads in various State Commands to focus on the investigation, detection, arrest and prosecution of ritual killers. He said that the high incidence of serial ritual killings demands an urgent action at the level of the police high command. According to the first chartered security professional in West Africa, citizens were rapidly losing faith in the ability of the police agency to detect and punish ritual killers.   This, he said was responsible for the increase in lynching of suspects as members of the public resort to jungle justice to get redress for the heinous murders. Said he: “The conscience of Nigerians should be troubled by reports of recent ritual murders including that of   one-year-old Success lme in Calabar whose heart was ripped out from her small body for ritual purposes and was discovered in a Church along with other items for occult rituals.

There is also the case of Pastor Samuel Okpara in Ahoada East LGA of Imo State who was kidnapped, killed and cannibalized by ritualists.   The pastor was reportedly beheaded and his liver and intestines used for pepper soup and plantain porridge. What a horrific occurrence?” He also decried the excesses of the Baddoo murder cult in Ikorodu Lagos State , saying it was a direct challenge to the Police. Economic recession in the land is not a license to commit ritual murder.   Impunity encourages ritualists to commit murders because they believe they will not be apprehended or punished. I advise Nigerians against late night outings because if a vehicular breaks down one could fall victim of kidnap by ritualists.   Commuters should always write down the identification markings of public conveyance vehicles which they enter and make phone calls to loved ones to pass on the information. Because ritual murderers always wish to be unidentified.   They want to kill people, but don’t wish to be apprehended. Once information about them has been passed on to someone else, it becomes difficult for them to do evil”. Nigerians should also assess public transport vehicles before boarding in order not to board the “wrong bus. Likewise, women are advised to carry whistles on them in order to raise an alarm if there is an attempt to abduct them”. On his part, the national Coordinator,  Network on Police Reform in Nigeria , NOPRIN  Mr Okechukwu Nwanguma, attributted the rise in  cases of killing for ritual   to collapse in moral values “  It is also caused by , ignorance and superstition,   the inordinate quest and pursuit of quick wealth and lack of effective punishment system.In a way,   poverty and unemployment may also be a risk factor. If Nigerians have equal opportunities to   earn income in legitimate ways ,   there will definitely be reduction in such abominable crimes   like humans killing fellow humans for ritual.” Also baring his opinion on the matter,  Treasurer of the Action Democratic Party , Cross River State Chapter, Offiong Okon, in a recent interview, advised that:  “Before a church is established, government should carry out investigation before license is granted because many of the church leaders and founders are ritualists, acting in the capacity of being Pastors.” “Government should investigate the Pastors and checkmate their activities because what they do under the cover of being a religious leader.” Citizen Korede and other victims If you think that the unlawful chaining of Korede Taiwo, a nine-year-old boy by his pastor father for allegedly stealing a piece of meat from his step mother’s pot of soup for about a month without food in Ogun State is a new thing in Nigeria, then you are on…
