Akpangbon: If its Nigeria, they will heap curses on the government. SA with her incredibly bad crime records still go out there defending themselves on atrocities committed in their country.

Pennywise: There is nothing there that a pry school child could not have done. Infact any other entry that was made would have been better irrespective of criteria save for the official national mediocrity called 'federal character' which I suspect was the sole consideration.

Afam4eva: I've always asked myself this questio: what's so difficult in coming up with a green, white and green flag? I mean it's green and white.

Lagos – A pop star, Innocent Idibia (a.k.a, 2Face), says he will do his best to influence the youth to be resourceful and self-reliant.

Idibia said in Lagos on Thursday that he would tour some tertiary institutions to inspire students to develop their talents.

He noted that education institutions were among the most important sections of any society.

“It is the schools that produce the leaders of tomorrow; so, social development which are happening outside their walls should be taken to them.

“The music industry in Nigeria is a very strong opinion shaper in the society; getting closer to students is a very good way of influencing their thoughts and inspiring them”.

Idibia said that the Nigerian music industry had become a force to reckon with, adding that the country was blessed with numerous talents.

“We have successfully built a veritable industry that represents the country internationally, and many talents exist in the schools.

“ I am a product of a school – the Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Enugu.

“That is one of the major reasons IMT is on my tour list.

“ It is a very emotional choice for me because the school was a very important part of my development.

“That was where Plantashun Boiz began and I have very fond memories,” Idibia said.

Idibia is set for a month-long tour of selected tertiary institutions in the country this month.

The schools include the universities of Lagos, Benin, Port-Harcourt and Abuja.

Idibia has practised as a solo artiste for almost a decade.

One of his biggest hits is the “African Queen” which is the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie, “Phat Girls’’. (NAN)

ABUJA- THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Thursday, urged President Goodluck to strip governor Adams Oshiomhole of the national honour of the rank of Commander of the Order of the Niger, CON he gave to him in 2011.

Addressing Journalists in Abuja, Chairman, Edo State chapter of PDP, Chief Dan Orbih said that the move has become imperative against the backdrop of alleged age falsification by the governor on year of birth, adding that Oshiomhole is sixty-one years old and not sixty as celebrated.

The PDP also said it has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar to proceed and investigate into the matter to establish whether or not a case of alleged perjury may have been committed by the governor.

Orbih who noted that the date filled by the governor in his INEC form CF001 as his date of birth which was 4th April, 1952, said that the governor gave the same date of birth in his voter’s card, with serial number PU12/06/10/001.

He said, ‘’It is on record that on November, 12, 2008 at the official inauguration of Governor Oshiomhole for his first tenure, his citation which stated his date of birth as April 4th, 1953 was read in his presence and the presence of the Edo state Chief Judge. In a similar event at his inauguration for his second term in 2012 his citation with April 4th, 1953 as date of birth was also read in his presence and the presence of the Edo state Chief Judge.’’

But reacting, governor Adams Oshiomhole who described the call by Orbih that President Jonathan should de-robe him of the CON honour as laughable.
