Okonjo canvasses two-stream admission policy in institutions

By Segun Olugbile

The Obi of Ogwashi-Uku in Delta State, Prof. Chukwuma Okonjo, has advocated the adoption of a two stream admission policy for the nation's tertiary institutions.


Okonjo, who spoke during the 2009 Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Scholarship Award for students of tertiary institutions across the country on Thursday, in Lagos, said that this would reduce pressure on the nation's tertiary institutions particularly universities.

He said he single-handedly developed the concept in response to the difficulty being faced by many Nigerians who desired higher education.

Under the concept, Okonjo, who is also the father of the former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said that each academic session should be compressed to six months without injuring quality of delivery.


He explained that this would not cost government any money, adding that if it was adopted the population of students in tertiary institutions would double within three years.

Apart from widening the space in tertiary institutions, the academic-turned monarch, said that the students, would be encouraged to work in related fields of their disciplines in the last six months.

He said that as the students were made to work, most of the nation's socio-economic problems would be eliminated.

Okonjo added that unlike the present system where students were exposed to 500 hours of academic activities per session, the two stream admission policy would ensure that they were subjected to about 1, 536 hours.

Politics / Reps Suspend Anti-bankole Lawmaker by StFunmi(f): 8:09am On Feb 28, 2009
Reps suspend anti-Bankole lawmaker

By John Ameh, Abuja

For the first time since he assumed office on November 1, 2007, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, wielded the big stick on Thursday as he endorsed the suspension of Mr. Independence Ogunewe, for "unruly behaviour."


Hon. Independence Chiedoziem Ogunewe





Ogunewe, who is the Chairman of the House Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa and member of the Peoples Democratic Party, represents Ahiazu/Mbaise/Ezinihitte federal constituency of Imo State.

Ogunewe headed the Committee on Aviation before Bankole reassigned him to the Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa late last year.

However, with his suspension on Thursday for "14 legislative days," he will not participate in any activities in the House, chair the committee or attend the sittings of other committees of the House.

The House suspended the lawmaker specifically for disrespecting Bankole when the Speaker asked him to return to his seat and not to continue to distract the proceedings of the House.

The drama started when Bankole saw Ogunewe discussing with a colleague while proceedings were on.

The Speaker called on him to stop the discussion and return to his seat but Ogunewe replied sharply, "I have heard you, I have heard you," and walked out of the chambers.

His action was, however, interpreted as an affront to Bankole and a sign of disrespect for the entire House.

It was Alhaji Alhasan Garba, a member of the House from Kano State, who raised a point of order to the effect that Ogunewe must not go unpunished for his action.

Garba said, "Mr. Speaker, if we allow this kind of unruly behaviour to continue, one day, you will have a House that is difficult to control; we must maintain discipline.

"There is nowhere in the whole world that the Speaker of the parliament will ask a member to sit down and he gets the kind of unruly reaction that Ogunewe just displayed."

Following Garba's observations, Bankole called on the Deputy Whip of the House, Alhaji Amimu Tambuwal, to read Order 10 (5) (4) of the Standing Orders of the legislature and move a motion for the suspension of Ogunewe.

Order 10 (5) (4) reads, "When a member is named by the Speaker, if the offence is a minor one, the speaker may order the member to withdraw for the balance of the legislative day.

"But, if the matter appears to the Speaker to be of a more serious nature, the Speaker shall put the question on the motion being made, no amendment, adjournment or debate being allowed 'that such member be suspended from the service of the House', such suspension being for any time stated in the motion not exceeding 14 legislative days."

Politics / Fawehinmi Gives Scholarships To 40 Students by StFunmi(f): 8:06am On Feb 28, 2009

Fawehinmi gives scholarships to 40 students

By Nkiru Okoye and Emelda Chinyere Nwosa

THOUGH Chief Gani Fawehinmi has been in a London hospital for more than six months, his scholarship project, set up in 1973, held its 36th edition yesterday where 40 Nigerians were awarded scholarships to pursue various courses in several Nigerian universities.





The event, which took place at his chambers in Anthony Village, Lagos, was witnessed by many dignitaries and stakeholders in the education sector.

They include the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) President, Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie, who was the chairman of the occasion; the special guest of honour, Prof. Chukwuka Okonjo; traditional ruler of Ogwashi Ukwu and father of former Minister of Finance, Prof. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Prof. Omotoye Olorode, professor of botany of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, who delivered a speech on the need to restructure the Nigerian educational system. Gani was represented by his first daughter, Basirat.

Commending the project, Okonjo urged rich Nigerians to emulate the Fawehinmi project. He also stressed that the Nigerian government can do better if individuals like Fawehinmi can be awarding scholarships to 40 indigent Nigerian students yearly.

Speaking at the ceremony Awuzie, who also chaired the event, decried the poor state of education in the country.

He also charged the students to rise up and fight against victimisation and exploitation, adding that the struggle was not just for the older generation like himself.

In the lecture delivered by Olorode, he said: "The cumulative and entrenched damage that had been done to educational sector was too much and the government owes Nigerians the responsibility to ensure good and quality education as is the case in other countries.

Highlight of the event was the handing over of cheques in the sum of N4 million to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries could not hide their joy as they sang praises of Fawehinmi and prayed that he will have full recovery in good time.

Of the 40 beneficiaries, six are pursing law degrees, eight pursing degrees in medicine, three accounting, two English Language, two engineering, one mass communication, one pharmacy, one economics and one agricultural economics.

Jos crisis: We lost all say Hausa-Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba
Written by Chioma Gabriel, (Deputy Editor, Lagos,) Taye Obateru, Jos, Uduma Kalu, Lagos

Igbos: Spare parts, timber shed, motor market, shops burnt*

Hausa: N2bn worth of cars *

Yoruba: 113 lives,house, businesses lost


All Nigerians, not just natives of Jos, capital of Plateau state, were victims of the last November 27 described by the people as the worst ever in the city investigations have revealed.

Yet, another crisis may erupt in the city as the victims count their losses. To nip this in the bud, the victims are asking the federal and the state governments to come to their aid.

A survey of the city last Thursday by Saturday Vanguard indicates that the fear now is that the level of loss suffered by people may lead to another crisis at the slightest excuse. They are therefore crying out for assistance.

Some of those asking for help are the Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba and Benue citizens. Regrettably, most of the victims who were killed knew nothing about what went amiss.

A young man who lived around Rikkos area lost his life when the Hausa community burnt his house.

When asked to leave his house as a crowd was gathering because of the local government elections, the young man asked why he should run when he was not a politician and had nothing to do with the election. The house was burnt by the assailants. His young wife and kids are now without a bread winner.

Many more examples abound of how people died innocently in the mayhem while those who managed to escape with their lives lost life investments and other property. For a number of others, it was multiple tragedies as they lost children, homes and business places all to the crisis.

Homes, shops, cars and other economic property were burnt, or destroyed on both sides in retaliatory moves designed to inflict as much pain as possible. Stories were told of when groups saw the destruction done to their own property or economic interests also mobilized and descended on those belonging to those believed to be responsible for their own loss.

The riot began along political party lines but took ethno-religious dimension later, resulting in the death of over 500 people, with properties worth billions of naira burnt, looted and destroyed.

And it is not only natives of the city that are counting their losses but all Nigerian of all ethnic groups.

That all Nigerian were victims of the loss could be gleaned from Laranto Market, hitherto a perfect setting of Nigerians from various parts, who together pursued their economic interests without let or hindrance.

This largest timber market, mostly run by the Igbo, also had the second hand clothing and large scale foodstuff business run by the Hausa-Fulani, the building materials shops, run by the Igbo as well as the palm oil, small-scale foodstuff business, etc, which was a mix of Nigerians made the place popularly known as ‘Katako’ bubble.

The Igbo also suffered serious losses in the crisis because many of their shops and businesses were targeted by the hoodlums during the riot. Apart from the timber shed in Katako which was completely razed, the second hand vehicle parts market at Farin Gada where they sold vehicle engines, spare parts and other things was attacked, torched and looted. Many of their shops in other places were also not spared.

Today, Laranto Market is now reduced to rubbles, more like an open field, as it was razed down and levelled in what could be described as mutually assured destruction or what in Nigerian parlance is called ‘do me, I do you’. It was learnt that victims of initial attacks fought back to ensure that they all suffered the pain.

Saturday Vanguard also gathered that the recent Jos mayhem was worse than the September 7, 2001 version in terms of human and economic loss.

“The one that occurred in 2001 is nowhere near this. Many more lives were lost in this one and more property and businesses were destroyed”, Jude Sylvester, a businessman told Saturday Vanguard.

His view was supported by Mrs. Roseline Okonkwo, a petty trader at the destroyed Laranto market who said many businesses might have been permanently ruined unless assistance comes from government or from other quarters.

“Where do we begin from? Even the little money we had was left in the store and all were either burnt or looted. We have not even paid for some of the goods we collected that were destroyed. I don’t want to think about it”; she said amidst sobs.

Calls for compensation have been coming from various quarters to assist the victims to start life again.

Chairman of the second hand vehicle dealers association, Alhaji Yahaya Kega who said his members lost vehicles worth almost N2b in the mayhem urged both the Federal and State governments to come to their aid in view of the incalculable loss they suffered. The timber dealers in Laranto have also made a similar appeal.

Perhaps most pathetic is the situation of the Yoruba who got caught on all fronts of the divide and suffered heavy human and business losses in the crisis. Since the crisis took a religious dimension, the Yoruba who are almost equally divided along both religious lines were attacked from both sides.

Christian and Moslem Yoruba alike were attacked, killed and had their houses and property burnt.

According to President-General of the Yoruba Community Council in the state, Chief Toye Ogushuyi, the losses suffered by his people were heavy. About 113 Yorubas, he said, lost their lives in the recent crisis.

He stated this at a meeting between Governor Jonah Jang and community and religious leaders on Wednesday saying most of their corpses have been taken to their states for burial.

With tears in their eyes, including the state Deputy Governor, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, Ogunshuyi narrated how his people were soiled down or burnt over a crisis they knew nothing about.

He said many of the victims were caught unawares because their assailants wore military uniforms. He said Yorubas were peace loving adding,“We have been carrying out legitimate businesses in Jos since 1891 and we built the first church in Jos but we have been living peacefully without fighting to rule Jos”.

The Yoruba leader said those who unleashed the violence should be identified and punished to restore the confidence of people in government’s ability to protect lives and property.

“We, the Yorubas, have suffered a great loss. Like I said at the meeting with the governor, over a 100 and something of our people have died, and they are both Moslems and Christians.

Houses and businesses were destroyed and right now we are collating the losses of our people to be sent to the governors of the Yoruba states for possible assistance. An elderly man of 72 years Alhaji Hassan had his house and business places burnt.

Another elderly Yoruba, Alhaji Alasinrin also lost four shops where he sold grains completely razed. This is not to talk of those who were killed indiscriminately whether they were Christians or Moslems,” he told Saturday Vanguard in an interview.

Ogunsuyi expressed disappointment with some members of the National Assembly whom he said had been making emotional outbursts based on ignorance and bias as if only a particular ethnic group or religion was affected.

“They should come here and see what our people suffered before making provocative statements that will only cause more problems,” he said.

As the crisis lasted in Jos, the nation was also seized by tension. Last Thursday, newly elected president of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Ralph Uwechue, in a telephone interview with Saturday Vanguard said the group is trying to get inventory of the Igbo affected by the crisis as it does not know the extent Igbo were affected in the mayhem.

Uwechue who served as both ex President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Special Envoy on Conflict Resolution in Africa and as Head of the Economic Community of West African States Mission in Cote d’Ivoire (ECOMICI) said the group has therefore despatched some people to Jos, through various Igbo groups to take inventory of Igbo involvement in the crisis.

He added that Ohanaeze will decide on what action to take on the matter once the inventory is made, adding that the Igbo should project a common cause, and not to act on individual basis in the new dispensation.

Why? I feel that it's ridiculous some people in here are willing to side with foreign powers because of something that they refuse to let go.

The plight of Igbos in Nigeria is something no one can ignore, BUT people forget that Nigeria is still a very young nation (not even 50 years old).


It's strange people don't realize that many great nations across the world have been through these same type of struggles throughout their histories, but as time went on, things got better.

The defeatist attitude that some Igbos hold is extremely counter-productive not only to Nigeria, but also to Igbos as a whole.
50 years old means nothing please. We really do not have any excuse for our problems besides greed. How come we are backwards in every good thing on earth but stands in good measure when it comes to corruption and any other thing that is infamous?
