Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi, has said he did not say the truth when he alleged that the sum of $49.8
billion realized from the sales of crude oil between January 2012 and July 2013 has been missing from the federation account.
Sanusi who appeared before Senate Committee on Finance said $12 billion
was the amount not to have been remitted to the account within the period.
But the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr.Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala swiftly countered him.
The Minister of Finance, said “I just wanted to add that we found about $10.8 billion. He mentioned $12billion.”
The now embarrassed CBN Governor told the Senator
Ahmed Makarfi led Committee, “I repeat, Mr. Chairman, that we did not
see the letter as a conclusion of our investigation but an invitation to investigate. So, the conclusion that $49.8billion was missing was wrong even though we had the allegation that it was unremitted.”“Now, since then, a lot has happened. We have heard the Minister of
Finance, Minister of Petroleum Resources,Central
Bank, FIRS, CPR, we have
set up technical team and has started a process of
reconciliation and there has been a lot of progress in that process.“I found it very unfortunate it was leaked to the press and the answer is
‘yes’, the CBN Governor did send that letter with those contents. By way of those contents, the Central Bank and Finance Ministry and the
government were very much concerned over the years at the very low rate of accretion to the reserves in spite of very high level of oil prices and in particular, depletion of excess crude account in spite of what seems to be
very high level of oil sales.
“Now, in investigation and trying to understand where
those leakages were,our attention was drawn to a huge difference between
what appeared to be export of crude made by NNPC and amount repatriated into the crude equity account of the federal government.
“The numbers were about $65 billion exported by NNPC and about $15 billion
repatriated to Federation Account out of that. Now, in
view with our duty as the banker of the government, we had the responsibility of alerting the president and request a thorough investigation of this matter, he said.He further explained that “the major progress has
been the provision of
Monetary Policy Committee, PMC, by the MPC documents to show that even though they did ship that amount in question which is a little more $67 billion, about $24billion was actually not their crude but crude shipped
on behalf of third parties like oil companies, tax in crude and also for third party financing and so, that already addresses half of the amount.”So, the second half is the issues around domestic crude lifting of
$28billion from which we feel there is a short fall,there is a general consensus among us on this even though the amount has been disputed. For us in Central Bank, there is a shortfall of $12billion”,
he disclosed.But even with the amount, he said the CBN was still in the process of
reconciling the amount.
“Now, we still are in the process of trying to reconcile
that number and we have not even started talking of the sales, the export sales tax, which is about $2billion, which will come after the sales.The Finance Ministry
has told us that even before now, there is ongoing
negotiation and discretion with NNPC ad-hoc committee and these
numbers have always been
discussed at the level of Commissions of Finance.
“Since the objective of this committee and for all of us
on this side is actually to get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what is the amount unremitted and what is to be done and recommend actions.”
He pleaded for time so that the CBN, NNPC and all
relevant agencies come up with a collective figure.
“What I would like to do is, given the progress we have made, to request that we be given little more time to continue with this process and come back with the final position that is a common position among us if the
committee will so grant us, ”he added;He was subsequently granted
the request.Speaking at the event earlier, Senate President, David Mark,noted that thecontroversial amount was still allegation but stressed
that it was aserious one.“At this point what we have is
allegations but it’s a serious allegation. When Senator Adetumbi raised the point of order, I did not allow comment on the issue
“It’s for us to get facts so that when we come back
we can make useful and
meaningful contributions. The Senate has no positions on it, nobody knows apart from what was published in the papers, that’s why we want the committee to establish the facts, the committee, your body language and utterances must be seen to be totally neutral because we have no facts, we have no position on it, we urge you to observe the
facts, “he said.

ABU SO FINE SO UNIQUE.

One lady celebrity was quoted expressly voicing out her desperately desire for a husband when she exclaimed“oh! GOD I NEED A HUSBAND”. I will say boldly that she is not alone, as it is the desperate desire of many
ladies to settle down with a man in marriage. Many of
them had reached the highest pinnacle in their career but are not happy because they needed husband.It is unfortunate that many of them looked on GOD as been responsible for their not been married. Of a truth,GOD is never responsible for a lady not been married and will never be responsible. I will by this write up try to x-ray things that may cause delay in marriage for some ladies.
Spirit husband: a lady may package herself very well,
past life style may be wonderful, and may be in her
correct age, nice job etc yet may still not get a man to
marry her if she has a spirit husband in her. I will say
and continue to emphasize it, that the issue of spirit
husband is responsible and major cause of delayed
marriage by many ladies. This is because many spirit
husbands never allow their host lady to marry (see my
article on you and spirit husband/wife for details).
Curse/spell: some ladies by their past life style might
have done some terrible things in the past that may
have attracted curse/spell on their lives. Such curse/
spell does hinder ladies from getting married. For
instance a lady who dated a married man may have
been caused by the man’s wife. (See articles on top
reasons why some lady may never marry.)
Lost opportunity: I wish to point out that many ladies
who are still single though they ought to have been
married are those who may have lost their opportunities earlier in life of been married. You see,most ladies when they were in their twenties, were so arrogant that they treated young men who wish to marry them with disrespect. This was because at that period of their lives, they were on top of their world and men were pestering them. But instead of going with young men who would have later married them,they prefer to move with sugar daddies. (Not all of them anyway).
This is a bitter truth to say, and if some ladies in their
late thirties today should look back in life, they will
agree with me that their past life style cost them to
miss most of their opportunities of been married earlier in life.
Poor packaging: some ladies package themselves so
badly or poorly that no man will ever show interest in
them as to marry them. (See article on “my lady, so you wish to marry” for details on packaging). You will agree with me, before a man will say I want to marry you, you must have appealed and attracted the man in the first place. But in a situation by reason of poor packaging, you may have scared potential men away,who may have married you and that‘s why you are still single.
Past life style: The past life styles of most ladies are
nothing to write home about and may be the cause or
posse hindrances for them in getting married now. As said earlier, when they were in their twenties, they were on top of their world and may have rejected many potential husband that time who may have requested for their hand in marriage.
Many by their past life- may be sleeping around with
men that potential husband may had passed by and see
them as cheap article and public toilet. Of a truth,most ladies are like that even now. They easily jump into bed with any man that throws currency at them.
Note that you are a very cheap article for any man
who conquers you in bed for money sake.
Over packaging: Most ladies fall into of what I call over
packaging. Such ladies, you may see them today in
Paris, tomorrow in London, and next tomorrow in New
York. For such ladies, it will take the grace of GOD for
them to marry because men who are in their class are but few in number. Their profiles are outstanding that average men are intimidated already. For such class of ladies above, can you imagine a young graduate no matter his age that had never seen the inside of a plane who will summon courage to propose to such lady?
Not that those ladies doesn’t get suitors, but you know
very well that as a high class lady, such men are not in
your class and are far below your standard. Such
marriages never work unless the lady will accept to fly
across the globe with the man. Otherwise she would be
ready to sacrifice a lot because she had to forgo certain life style for the man’s sake.
CAUTION: Never for the sake of marriage you marry a
man far below your class or standard, unless the man
is willing and ready to learn and adjust to your
standard within the shortest time. If you ever marry a
man who is not willing to adjust to your standard, you
may have to adjust to the man’s standard if the
marriage is to work. I said in one of my write ups, as a
lady never show desperation over the issue of marriage
or you will see a man who capitalizes on it to defraud you and break your heart BE WISE AND CAUTIOUS.

The defeated candidate of CPC in the 2011
presidential election and the leader of APC, Maj Gen.
Buhari met with Gen Olusegun Obasanjo saturday
night in Otta, in Ogun state on invitation of former
president Pointblanknews.com has learnt .
This is coming on the heel of Obasanjo’s 18 page
“letter bomb” to president Jonathan that is still
generating a lot of heat in the polity.
Political feelers are now coming to terms that the
actions of the G-7, House speaker’s recent
utterances about Jonathan’s body language and
corruption, CBN governor’s letter about some
missing monies at the NNPC, and Obasanjo’s letter
might all be from the same script.
Even though the agenda of the meeting was not
known ,It was however clear the duo would talk about
the political developments, Jonathan, and 2015.
The meeting is also a curious one as it is between
Obasanjo and a leader of the opposition. It has also
left tongues wagging as to the intentions of Obasanjo,
who after his “letter bomb” found it apprpriate to
meet with Jonathan at a private breakfast in Nairobi,
Kenya next day.

Northern Nigerian Muslims have come under fire from criticand academic, Prof. Pius Adesanmi, for allegedly practising a retrogressive brand of Islam as opposed to the progressive brand practised elsewhere in the world.
Adesanmi, a Professor of English at Carleton University,Canada, wondered how this could be happening in a region that boasts first class brains such as Central bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, former FCT Minister Nasir El Rufai,
former EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu, and rights activist
Shehu Sani.
Adesanmi, who poured out his mind on his Facebook wall,drew attention to the technological wonders taking place in Muslim countries in the Middle East whereas the unprogressive brand of Islam practised in Northern Nigeria has made the region to “harbour the world’s worst indices of poverty, backwardness, and underdevelopment.”Said Prof. Adesanmi: “You go to Dubai, Kuwait City, and the
cities of Saudi Arabia and you see hypermodernity at work.You see futuristic architectural marvels. You see art meeting genius and invention in the planning and ordering of cities. You hear the loudest possible statement of the fact that Islam and modernity are not enemies – at least as far as the conceptualization of the cities of the future is concerned. You read frequently about the marvels that Qatar intends to unleash on the world when she hosts the World Cup in 2022. Qatar is unleashing all kinds of futuristic stadia and buildings which are expanding the borders of
human imagination. All over the oil states in the Gulf, the
guys making the West pant in an attempt to catch up with the hypermodernity of the oil states are in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Proud, cosmopolitan Moslems, they return from Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Oxbridge, and LSE to take the Gulf States into the 22nd century ahead of the rest of us. Tokyo pants, out of breath, trying to catch up
with Dubai’s hypermodernity. Indonesia, the world’s most
populous Moslem nation, is also rapidly hypermodernizing.
Then, in the name of the same Islam, some idiots in the political elite whose warrens in Northern Nigeria harbour the world’s worst indices of poverty backwardness, and
underdevelopment are breaking beer bottles and building mosques and madrassas with the same oil money in the 21st century. We must ask them: just what sort of Islam are you practicing that is superior to that of the House of Saud?
You can’t help feeling that powerful, cosmopolitan, and first class minds such as we have in Nasir El Rufai, Nuhu
Ribadu, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Shehu Sani, etc, have failed.How can such stellar cerebral minds be there and we don’tfeel the collective impact of their presence on any kind of governance vision for the North? Where is the infusion of their thought into the vision of their society? What sort of
advice are they giving the premedieval breakers of bottles and the builders of mosques with Federal allocation? How can these guys be there and the she-goat is left to suffer the pains of parturition before their very before? Are they not collectively embarrassed by what passes for progress and development in the minds of the political leaders of that region? El Rufai and Ribadu are frequent callers in Dubai.
What do they tell their friends in the local Dubai elite at
dinner table whenever those guys begin to talk about the
next phase of development plans for Dubai with their oil
money? Do they behave like the toad who changes the topic whenever dinner conversation begins to praise animals with tails?

Below is a list of questions we received today
and we feel is worth publishing. It read…..
I wonder where this so called spiritual husbands come
from, they are worse than any deadly disease you can
ever think of
(besides they are the cause) I pray that the Lord would
deliver his children from demons who are:
1. Child abuser’s – they claim you while in your
mother’s womb by the time you are born you are
already taken by them.
2. Abnormal wedding day – the next thing you find
yourself being wedded by without your permission and
being in a position of not having control of the situation,
worst part you get married in the dream and never in the
physical.
3. Molester’s – they sleep with you by force whenever
they
feel like it and you have no say or control over.
4. Un-wanted pregnancies – now you see yourself
pregnant in the dream by force and giving birth for a
demon that Molests you every night! for some physically
they don’t even have children.
5. Lying thieves- their mission in your life is they only
came to kill, steal and destroy every good thing the Lord
has for you.
6. All they want is to destroy marriage’s and block those
who are still single not to marry. they know that women
were created to be helpers and if homes were
peaceful, the world would be a better place and children
would be brighter and smarter without having to grow up
in a home where parents are enemies. Today children
worry more about problems in the house than the parents
involved. Homes have become battle fields, the so called
spiritual husband are the foundation of the marriage they
make all the decisions in the house
instead of the almighty God the founder of the Marriage
Institution.
I pray for God’s mercy that people may find it easy to
run for deliverance. I pray also for my country because
those demons have not yet been exposed fully, people
don’t even believe in marriage anymore, those who are
married infidelity is a daily bread. The man no longer
suffer lustful thoughts but rather they are suffering from
lustful actions it has become so bad that they can’t
control themselves physically! And this has led so many
young women to be obsessed with business and their
career’s and always putting marriage as the very last
option.
The world needs your prayers men of God to restore God’s
will in the lives of the people, they need people who will
stand up and testify that God is still a match maker and
one can still have a divine marriage even in my country
and other places in the world suffering from high rates of
divorce and single men and women
engaging with multiple partners with the excuse of
saying “I don’t know which one is my life partner or is
from God” what is if i say no to my soul mate?
And all this is the tricks of the enemy because many
young people cannot differentiate between a spiritual
husband and a husband from God in their dreams besides
in our churches we were never taught “the 50 signs he is
your husband from God ” like the internet would put it!
Prophet T.B Joshua and the wise men we humbly bring
forth this prayer request so that the Lord may lead to
prayers to set the people free as for me its been some
time now the Lord has lead me to so many homes in my
vision to experience the physical pain of divorce and of
one partner leaving the wife for another woman without
keeping it a secret to the wife or children. Another case
was a man leaving the wife for another man! In the
vision I could feel the

North Jubilates As PDP Govs Defect To APC
There appears to be silent jubilation in the North as
the “rebel” governors in the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) declare for the All Progressive Congress
(APC).
Pointblanknews.com reports that politicians and
kingmakers in the North receive the news with
happiness as they see it as a step further towards the
realization of northern presidency.
National Assembly Matters adviser to ex-president
Shehu Shagari in the Second Republic, Alhaji Tanko
Yakasai said the latest defection would bring
vibrancy in the polity.
Also, former President of Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, and member of the APC in Jigawa
state, Malam Sani Zorro described the development
as a plus to Nigeria’s democracy.
Yakasai said the defection of the G-7 governors to
the APC is an eye-opener to the PDP leadership who
would now be forced to buckle up and face realities.
“The implication is that the PDP is now down 18,
instead of 22, APC will now have 16 governors. One
can project that the governorship election in 2015 will be altered as the PDP may lose four states,
Sokoto, Kano, Rivers and Adamawa.”
He further noted that it is not yet victory for the APC
as there is much work to do on integrating and
harmonizing the new comers with the old members of
the party.
Sani Zorro in his views said the option taken by the
defecting governors was welcome development to the
nation’s democracy.
“It is a testimony to the progressive political
development in the history of Nigeria in recent times,”
pointing out that the birth of APC, “is the fourth merger out of so many that have been tried and has failed since 1981 to date, where so many efforts were made by the progressives to come together but this time, it has come to stay. I congrate the defecting governors for their determination and foresight. I also congratulate the leadership APC for forging the alliance of three parties.”

boy is attracted to girls. A man is attracted to
women. Now, this has nothing to do with the actual
age of a person. I'm referring to maturity, life vision
and stage of life. In fact, some people regardless of
their age, will never really grow up. Also, this isn't
to say that a woman won't ever have "girlish" or
immature tendencies or vice versa. This post refers
to one's maturity and most points would also apply
if you switch the genders as well.
If you are a boy, then expect that you will attract
only girls. However, if you are a man (independent,
knows your worth and value, has a strong moral
compass, is considerate and an able communicator
and doesn't let insecurity dominate your psyche),
then you should be dating a woman. And if you
can't spot the difference just yet, here are some
pointers:
1. A girl throws tantrums. When displeased, upset
or angry, she reacts just as she did as a child when
she didn't get her way with her parents. This often
consists of screaming, pouting, giving the silent
treatment, being passive aggressive and/or
punishing. A woman still feels the emotions of being
upset/displeased, but has cultivated the skill of
responding versus reacting. She comes to the table
as an adult, and communicates clearly what is
bothering her.
2. A girl perceives herself as a princess and
believes people should treat her like so. She is
entitled and feels that she is owed and therefore
expects more than she appreciates. A woman, has
standards (what she holds herself to) not
expectations (what she projects on to others).
3. A girl uses her physical beauty as her currency
and basis of value. A girl may be so used to feeling
validated through her looks and sexuality, that she
uses this as her primary tool to get what she wants
in life. A woman, knows her worth is beyond her
physicality. A woman bases her value on her
intelligence, her strength, her integrity, her values,
her contributions, her humanity.
4. A girl banks on a man to be her financial
strategy. A woman plans to be financially
independent -- she banks on... herself. And if she so
happens to enter a relationship dynamic where it
makes sense for her partner to be the primary
breadwinner, it's considered a bonus, not the
expected life line.
5. A girl sees the world from a place of lack and
scarcity. She competes and will even tear down
another in order to secure resources or a mate. A
woman helps other women. She knows that there's
plenty enough to go around and takes the high road
of integrity to get what she wants.
6. A girl cannot be bothered with anything
domestic and is proud of the fact that she cannot
cook or clean. A woman understands that being
domestic is not a duty, but understands that it is
one way of taking care of herself and others. She
also understands that in the event she wants to
create a family, having a person in the household
who can contribute domestically is important.
7. "A girl wants attention, a woman wants
respect. A girl wants to be adored by many. A
woman wants to be adored by one." -anonymous
8. A girl does not respect her body. She has not
yet understood that her body and heart are sacred,
and that it's important to be mindful of how she
treats it and who she shares it with.
"A girl cherishes handbags, diamonds and
her shoe collection as her prize possessions.
A woman cherishes her health, her sense of
self, and her talents as her greatest assets." -
N. Mah
9. A woman takes the time to reflect on the type
of human she wants to be, the example she wants
to leave and the vision for her life. She has put
thought into her values and what she stands for. A
girl has not established her moral compass or values
and consequently, is often inconsistent.
"After spending time with a girl, you feel
exhausted because she takes more than she
gives. After spending time with a woman,
you feel invigorated, because she empowers
you with possibility, and a passion for life." -
N. Mah
10. A girl has a checklist that prioritizes
superficial qualities above anything else. Here is
an example of how this checklist may look: Hot,
popular, wears skinny jeans, over six feet tall, rich..
This is the checklist of what a woman may look for:
High integrity, intelligent, kind, good communicator,
emotionally available...
Now, a lot of these differences require taking the
time to know someone to figure out if the apple of
your eye is indeed a mature woman, or someone
with an immature mindset. However, one of the
quickest filters that you can notice from the
beginning is this:
11. A girl plays games. A woman doesn't.

Nairobi, Kenya: Irene Myangoh, a personal
assistant working at a law firm in Nairobi went to
an upmarket hair salon along Kenyatta Avenue, and
spent more than N5,500 on a human hair weave.
Two weeks later she started suffering from severe
headache that would not go away. She would wake
up with severe headache at night.
She went to a private doctor who gave her drugs for
the relief of mild to moderate pain of inflammatory
origin with or without fever; they would only work
for a few hours and then the headache would be
back worse than even before.
Desperate, she went to see a specialist who did
blood tests and even a brain scan. All the tests
were negative but the headache persisted, making
her unable to concentrate at work and sleeping very
poorly.
She went back to her doctor who decided to
examine her scalp and under the beautiful weave
he found worms!
The worms were burrowing into her skull and after
sending the samples to the lab they found that the
hair had eggs from which the worms had hatched.
The doctor told her that the hair was probably from
a corpse because those worms are usually found
on dead bodies. Efforts to reach her doctor for
further comments were fruitless for he was said to
be out of the country.
The manager of the salon where Irene got the hair
product was traumatised and said they had fitted
ten weaves from the package already, adding that
the particular batch of hair had sold very fast; in
less than a month, she had sold over 150 pieces.
“I am shocked to hear this because this is the first
time such a thing is happening to my clients. I will
get more information from my supplier because we
import these weaves from the UK, USA and India,”
says the salon manager who did not want to be
mentioned.
She continued to say: “Maybe, the supplier sent us
rejects from the factory or weaves that had
overstayed in the stores but I promise to follow up
on the matter and compensate Irene.”
Irene had to shave after this ordeal and took
antibiotics for two weeks.
Dr CK Musau, a surgeon at Nairobi hospital says
that he has dealt with more than ten cases of the
same in a period of six months.
He further urges ladies to be very careful with what
they put on their heads, and adds that it is better to
appreciate natural beauty and be content with what
God has blessed them instead of chasing artificial
beauty.
“It is unfortunate how the West has influenced
Kenyan youth; especially ladies. They should stick
to their natural African beauty as opposed to trying
to ape what they see,” says Musau.
Dr Musau reiterated that the youth must keep in
mind that of late, Kenyans can sell anything: from
body parts to human beings to used coffins and
now even weaves that seem to come from corpses.
Elsewhere, 16-year-old girl from Buruburu, a
Nairobi surburb, also suffered the same fate but
unfortunately for her she died. Cobweb eggs were
found in her hair after she died.
There was a profound cobweb design in her weaved
hair. She dropped dead after constant headaches.
The root cause? The weave had unnoticed spider
eggs. The warmth produced after weaving provided
a very conducive environment for the eggs to hatch.
A spider grew in her scalp and bit her. The poison
found its way to her blood. She could not survive
the attack.

I thought the dearth of skilled manpower is only peculiar
to Nigeria, never knew Britain suffer same. So where does
this hype about their education system from?

Eastern European immigrants should not be blamed for seeking jobs in UK factories when not enough young people in Britain are fully capable of doing the same jobs, David Cameron has said.
The prime minister said half the workforce in some
factories came from Poland, Lithuania or Latvia, as
people from those countries wanted to work and were
well qualified.
During a trip to a Mini plant in Oxford on Monday, he
said Britain's response should be to improve the
education system "so we are producing young people
out of our schools and colleges who are fully capable of doing those jobs".
"You can go to factories in our country where half the
people come from Poland, Lithuania or Latvia,"
Cameron said. "You can't blame them – they want to
work, they see the jobs, they come over and they do
them.
"But as a country what we ought to be saying is: 'No,
let's get our education system right so we are
producing young people out of our schools and colleges
who are fully capable of doing those jobs.'"
He said the key was linking education, welfare reform
and immigration, but there was a risk that some
under-qualified young people would be left behind in
the recovery.
"Crack those three problems together and we can really
get an economy that generates wealth for our people," he said.
"The danger for a country like Britain is, yes, you see
the economy recover, yes, you see jobs coming, but you
leave behind people who have not got the right
qualifications from school. I don't want that to happen
in our country."

The quest for the convocation of a national conference got a boost on Tuesday as the Senate said that steps should be taken to convene a national conference of ethnic nationalities.

The upper chamber also lamented that those it described as political jobbers, sycophants, and hustlers have seized the country’s political space, and are being allowed to set the tone of national discourse ahead of 2015 general elections.

Senate President, David Mark, stated this in an address to flag off a new session for the Senate.

Though he counseled that Nigerians should make haste slowly and operate strictly within the parameters of the Constitution in discussion of the national question, Mark agreed that time has come for the country to meet to confront alleged structural distortions in the polity.

Such a conference, he said, can find accommodation in the extant provisions of the 1999 Constitution which guarantee freedom of expression, and association.

The only no go area at the conference, the Senate President noted, should be talk about dismemberment of the country.

He, however, cautioned that it would be unconstitutional to clothe such a conference with constituent or sovereign powers.

He said, “We live in very precarious times, and in a world increasingly made fluid and toxic by strange ideologies and violent tendencies, all of which presently conspire to question the very idea of the nation state.

“But that is not to say that the nation should, like the proverbial ostrich, continue to bury its head in the sand and refuse to confront the perceived or alleged structural distortions which have bred discontentment and alienation in some quarters.

“This sense of discontentment and alienation has fueled extremism, apathy and even predictions of catastrophy for our dear nation.

”A conference of Nigeria’s ethnic nationalities, called to foster frank and open discussions of the national question, can certainly find accommodation in the extant provisions of the 1999 Constitution which guarantee freedom of expression, and of association.

“To that extent, it is welcome. Nonetheless, the idea of a National Conference is not without inherent and fundamental difficulties.

“Problems of its structure and composition will stretch the letters and spirit of the Constitution and severely task the ingenuity of our constitutionalists.”

On the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Senate President urged the lawmakers to spare a thought “for the plight of our youths who are idling away because of the closure of universities due to the ASUU strike.

He said, “The morass in the education sector is deeply troubling not only because it is retarding the educational progress of millions of our children, but also because it arrests the intellectual development of our nation, with grave consequences for the future.

“While appreciating the tremendous merit in the case put forth by ASUU we call on its leaders to return to class, while pragmatic negotiations to address their grievances continue.

“The Senate will invest the full weight of its moral and constitutional authority to nudge both the Federal Government and ASUU towards a comprehensive settlement that addresses, in a realistic manner, the problems afflicting tertiary education in our country.”

At least 40 Nigerian soldiers were killed and 65 others went missing in a deadly ambush by suspected members of the extremist group, Boko Haram, in the sect’s stronghold in Borno state, multiple defence sources have told PREMIUM TIMES.

Army authorities are miffed by the incident, and have ordered an investigation into the suspected operational blunder that gave the militants such an upper hand. The commanding officer of the unit that carried out the operation has now been removed from his post, officials say.

The casualty, one of the heaviest for the military in its campaign against the militant group in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, occurred along the Baga –Maiduguri road on Friday, September 13, in what our sources said was a classic case operational and communication failure.

A detachment of soldiers under the 134 Battalion of the 12 Brigade under the Multi National Joint Task Force, MNJTF, stationed in Kangarwa village in Kukawa local government, had conducted a reconnaissance to gather intelligence around the area, during which they established the presence of previously unnoticed Boko Haram camps.

The soldiers returned to their base and filed a report recommending aerial bombardment of the area, preparatory for a ground operation by troops, our sources, who declined to be named for security concerns, said.

But that plan was cancelled at the final minutes by an unnamed top official without formal communication to the more than 100 troops that had already advanced on the area.

“Due to lack of communication, the troop ran into the terrorists without knowing that the aerial bombardment had been cancelled and they were caught unawares,” one of our sources said.

The soldiers were trapped in the ambush under heavy fire from the militants who had surrounded the area, leaving at least 40 soldiers killed. Some 65 others have remained missing, our sources said.

The insurgents confiscated a huge cache of weapons from the soldiers after the attack.

As with past failures that ended in bloodshed and heavy casualty against the military, authorities have struggled to place a lid on the incident.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Defence Headquarters, Chris Olukolade, a Brigadier General, said he was attending a meeting and would prefer a text message.

He did not respond to the text message.

But a top security source confirmed the incident and said the army headquarters have ordered an investigation.

Other officials, who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES anonymously, said the Boko Haram assault was a reminder of the difficulties they face daily contending a dodgy but adept enemy that continues to take advantage of mistakes by military planners, to inflict heavy damage on army units.

The attack came less than two months after a similar miscalculation on August 4 which also resulted in a heavy casualty following a similar surprise attack by Boko Haram on a camp at Malam Fatori.

Officials had told PREMIUM TIMES at the time that about 20 soldiers were missing after that attack.

The Lagos State Government has filed an appeal at the
Supreme Court against the judgments delivered by the
Appeal Court in favour of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and
Lateef Shofolahan in the murder case of Alhaja Kudirat
Abiola.
The Appeal Court, a month ago, upturned the judgment of
the High Court of Lagos which passed death sentence on
Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan.
At news a conference today at
Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, southwest
Nigeria, Lagos State Attorney
General and Commissioner for
Justice, Ade Ipaye said the state
government formally filed an
appeal at the Supreme Court on
Monday against the two
judgments delivered by the Appeal
Court.
“The Lagos State Ministry of
Justice has filed appeal papers
against the judgments delivered
by the Court of Appeal in the
cases of Lateef Shofolahan vs The
State and Al-Mustapha vs The
State,” he said.
Ipaye noted that the government
had indeed studied the two
judgments delivered by the Appeal
Court very closely and concluded
that there were grounds for appeal, which made the
government to formally file the appeal at the Supreme Court
on Monday.
“Having fully reviewed the decisions of the respected
Justices of the Court of Appeal, it is our humble view there
are strong bases for appeal which the Supreme Court of
Nigeria should have an opportunity to consider,” Ipaye
stated.
The Attorney General said the step the government was
taking would also ensure that all issues were fully
articulated and that the victim’s family, the defendants and
the society were not deprived of the last window of
opportunity provided by the constitution for the resolution of
the case.
The commissioner added that government was committed to
ensuring that law abiding residents and visitors continued
to live, work and pursue their various aspirations in a safe
and secure environment.
Al-Mustapha, the former chief security officer to the late
head of state, General Sani Abacha, and Lateef Shofolahan,
Kudirat’s aide, were accused of masterminding the
assassination of Mrs. Kudirat Abiola, wife of Chief MKO
Abiola, acclaimed winner of the 12 June, 1993 presidential
election, and were sentenced to death by a High Court in
Lagos.
They were arrested in 1999 and their trial dragged for
fourteen years before they were set free in July this year.

The National Council of Catholic Women Organisation of
Nigeria on Thursday warned against the alarming drop of
male-child in education.
With the drop, the group noted that in the next 10 years,
there would be a scarcity of quality husbands in the
country.
The organisation National President, Chief Felicia
Onyeabo, stated this on Thursday at a briefing to herald
the inauguration of Cor Mariae College, Abuja. The
inauguration holds on Friday (today).
She said, "The future of this country is going to be very
bleak for the male-child. How many girls do you see
hawking clothes? Go to Onitsha, they are all men. We
have looked round and have come to see that there is a
neglect of boys in education. Who are the armed robbers
on the streets? They are mostly the boys. Let us
concentrate on training boys.
"The NCCWO feels that a vacuum is being created, and
very soon, we shall be faced with a situation where our
educated girl-child will not find a corresponding suitable
boy-child to marry. This is because more boys drop out
of school, apparently because the high rate of unemployed
youth discourages our young boys from appreciating the
need to be educated.
"The NCCWO also consideres the fact that in the near
future, quality husbands will become extremely scarce,
with too many highly educated women looking for
husbands, and settling for anyhow husbands, just to get
married. The result of this type of situation is better
imagined and will not augur well for Nigerians." http://www.punchng.com/news/husbands-will-be-scarce-by-2023-women-group/

The news about TB Joshua and Arsenal is fake and is not from SCOAN.

Omoyele Sowore of Sahara Reporter where you're threading is quite dangerous,you can continue to undermine & write all the negative things about your country from your base in the USA, but definitely not against the Prophet of the Most High God (TB Joshua).All your source doesn't have name?

The National Coordinator, Coalition of Northern
Politicians, Academics, Professionals and
Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has flayed, the
Northern Elders’ Forum and the Arewa Consultative
Forum for their insistence that the north must produce
a president in 2015.
According to him, the clamour for a northern president
will add no value to the region, just like the IBB,
Abdusalami’s military eras did not add any value to the
region.
Junaid stated that the electorate should be allowed to
elect who will rule them.
He stated that he was not against the two bodies,
provided their goal was realized in a credible manner.
His words, “Not everybody who speaks on behalf of the
North is actually speaking the heart of the North. When
you check the credentials of these people, who are they
to speak for the North? How many times have they won
any form of election?”
He condemned the military regimes of Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida and Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, which, he
said did not favour the region.
He said, “Of what use was IBB’s tenure as Head of
State? What benefit did be bring to the North, I want to
know? Tell me what he did for the North. If these are
the kind of people the North wants to bring to
government, then, they should forget about me. They
should excommunicate me and say I’m not a
northerner.
“I only want people who are
fair, honest and patriotic; who
will treat everybody fairly, not
because they are northerners. I have seen some
honourable Governors and I have seen some very
horrible Governors.”
He said, “Neither Obasanjo nor all those clamouring for
return of power to the North are speaking for the North.
Those who are saying power must go to the North (in
2015) are not democrats.
Anybody who insists that power must go to somewhere
by circumventing the principle of free and fair election
is not a democrat.”
On the alleged single term deal signed by president
Jonathan, Junaid said, “I was neither the president nor
a governor; that shows that I was not present at the
meeting. Dr. Edwin Clark and some people who were
not governors at that point in time were not at the
meeting but they were the ones denying the pact.
“The President has not come out to say no, there was
no such thing. But, the governors said there is an
agreement. Most of those talking were not part of the
meeting and no amount of noise making by anybody
will settle the issue,” Mohammed said.
Six northern organisations – Arewa Consultative
Forum and the Northern Elders’ Forum, Arewa
Reawakening Forum, Arewa Research and Development
Project, Northern Union and the Code Group – had on
July 16, 2013, insisted that the North must produce the
nation’s President in 2015.

Well stated,while the elites will continue to use the religious institutions to manipulate the system for their selfish gains.

The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) Chairman and
Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu has
denied reports making the rounds in some media that
himself and four of his colleagues were pelted and held
hostage at the Port Harcourt International Airport, by some
sponsored political miscreants.
Although he acknowledged that some pro and anti-Amaechi
youths, carrying placards with various inscriptions were at
the airport on their arrival, Governor Aliyu said nothing was
done to them as they drove, with Governor Amaechi driving,
through the city and even inspected some on-going projects
being executed by the governor.
While wondering where such a ridiculous story might have
emanated from, the NSGF Chairman disclosed that they
were in River State to ascertain the issues and appreciate
the challenges Governor Amaechi was facing in the state
amidst recent political crisis that engulfed it.
Governor Aliyu, who spoke when he received on a courtesy
call, members of the Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) at
Government House, Minna, said what was happening in
Rivers State was an assault to the Nigerian constitution in
particular and democracy in general.
The NSGF Chairman stressed the need for a collective effort
to nurture the nascent and fragile democracy in the country
stressing that the political situation in Rivers State could be
easily resolved internally but for the external influences in
the matter.
He wondered why the Rivers State Police Commissioner
was so much involved in what purely was a political matter
and suggested that he might not have behaved the way he
did without support from elsewhere.
