LEADERSHIP - In this interview with LEADERSHIP , Sen. Ayodele Arise , chairman of Sheda Science and Technology Complex ( SHETSCO ) board and a chieftain of APC , bares his mind on some national issues including the presidential poll which is 11 days away .
Some Nigerians have criticised the manner the president suspended the CJN Onnoghen . Do you think the criticism is justified ?
As far as I am concerned , I don ’ t think Mr President had any choice on Onnoghen . We have seen a situation that the constitution did not have enough provision to tackle for us. I was in the National Assembly when we came up with the doctrine of necessity . What Mr. President did was to come up with a doctrine of necessity , because not only has the CJN been found culpable but he also admitted that he broke the law. I am not a lawyer but they said that , ‘ ignorance is not a defence in law’ . He knows the law yet he broke it . The question for us is how rich can you be that you forget to declare $ 3 m and some assets? Meanwhile it ’s not as if it is money you left there about 10 years ago . It is money you periodically do transaction with . So the story cannot have the sympathy of any serious person. Now there is a law that say , as a public servant , if you break the code of conduct act , you will be charge to CCT . I also understand that our constitution which was drafted by lawyers has no clause that says , you must go to National Judicial institute ( NJC ) for you to establish an offence .
The NJC will only make recommendations for sack or advice the government on what to do. But should we have one set of law that some people can break ? If you commit an offence in US as a judicial officer , the congress of the US will Impeach you from office . If the executive contravenes any of the offences , the National Assembly or Congress is empowered to impeach the president . If the president committed a crime , it will be totally wrong for you to send that same offence to the president which is what our constitution says in the case of the CJN . That an offence must go to the NJC and the man alleged to have committed the offence is the head of the NJC creates a moral dilemma. So when they were writing that part of the constitution , nobody envisaged that one day , this man will be the one facing trial otherwise they would have written things differently . It is a situation where the president has to find a way of operating within the law
whereas that same law if you look at it from the perspective of the lawyers, does not meet the standard set by the NJC . This country has not been able to make any significant progress in the war against corruption because accused pay lawyers to pick holes in the law. In the US , they call it obstruction of justice . But here they look for technicality or hold you to ransom for 4 - 5 years . If that happens, it means justice has been denied .
If we find a way of prosecuting them for obstruction of justice , you will see that the way we practice law in the country will change . But as it is today , look at the argument , nobody is talking of whether a criminal is heading the judiciary …
But the grouse with the president is that he did not follow due process and that , this is not the first time he is disobeying court orders…
We all want progress in this country , yet nobody wants to obey the law. The penalty of corruption in china is death because they understand the impact and look at where china is today . Go and look at Malaysia and Singapore , these are countries we were on the same level with years ago but have now left us behind . As a head of state , you can hold a person as a security risk to the state because this person has $ 3 m in his account , he can use it to do anything against the state . The president can say “ I am holding him because I consider him as a security risk ” . If such drastic action are not taken , more people will continue to commit crime . Look at the case of kidnapping , now that they have introduced death sentence on kidnappers, the wave of kidnapping is reducing. There is corruption all over the world but they have a mechanism in place to check it . This man has agreed that he is guilty and that , he forgot to include it in his declaration form . So the man has admitted that he is guilty . The CJN Was supposed to call for the NJC meeting that will deliberate on the matter . He did not convene the council ’ s meeting . So what do you expect the president to do ?
Most of the people criticizing the president ’ s action are demanding that he should reverse the sack and allow for due process of the law to be followed . should he do that ?
It is possible but the NJC has taken the right position by querying both Onnoghen and Acting CJN Muhammad. They might end up expelling both of them though the one that became CJN illegally might become a collateral damage. In the future , even if a member of the executive wants to do something that is not in line with the constitution , the beneficiary will say no . My take is that the president should have contacted the NJC and asked for the name of the next senior person to make an acting CJN because there cannot be vacuum .
Another person that has not done what he is supposed to do is Onnoghen . If he has an iota of dignity , he should resign because what is he holding unto ? He has admitted that he violated the law of the land and he is the number one law officer yet , he is still appealing his suspension ? Did somebody tried Kemi Adeosun before she resigned? This man is older than her . If Onnoghen had resigned quietly , he would have been regarded as a hero .
Do you think the APC will win the presidential election ?
This presidential election has been won since the day the National Assembly approved the social welfare fund . The fact that the person driving it is ensuring that the people it is meant for get the money has made APC to win the elections . The PDP had similar schemes but the money didn ’ t get to the people instead , some few persons diverted the money because that was the culture then . So many of these monies never got down to the grassroots. It’ s going to be landslide victory . In the east that was initially a ‘ hostile’ region to the president , they will give APC a significant vote . They will give some votes to Obi for sure but I can assure you that Buhari will get some too . There are some states that will be tough. In Anambra , the president will get significant votes.
Look at the roads and the infrastructure that the government is building there. They have given them power at Ariara market . These are not people looking to lose elections . Some will say , they don ’ t care since the president is giving them what they want . Look at the Southwest , all the states are with the president now. So there will be a landslide. There might be challenges in Benue, Plateau and Taraba states but the fact that there are twelve million people who are die hard Buharist will make him win . I don ’ t see how Atiku can win this election unless they import the votes . PDP might win Rivers because Wike is working and he is making enough noise to show for it . This is the cheapest election we have had in this country because you can ’ t see money flying all over .

suya traveled to Europe

suya traveled to U.s

suya in it home country

A local favorite in West Africa, suya is a traditional street food that has been tantalizing tastebuds for decades. Though it may look similar to shish kebabs, which developed in the Middle East, suya is a dish with a distinct African spin. We give you the low-down on the background of this delicious traditional street food.
At first glance, shish kebabs and suya may seem the same or a variation of the same dish. However, they are in fact different meals entirely. The first, the shish kebab, is a Middle Eastern blend of skewered meats served up inside bread or with vegetables. The other, a West African response to the shish kebab is called “suya”. You would be hard-pressed to find an African who did not know about, or love, the ubiquitous suya.

Suya is the creation of northern Nigeria and is spread throughout the geographic region of West Africa. The Hausa, the Tuareg and the Berber tribes have a similar North African culinary culture, with meat featuring heavily in their cuisines. Here, meat is often marinated for several hours in a peanut paste or in groundnut oil-infused spice blends.
In Nigeria, suya has been a street food favorite for decades. Despite its popularity, it has yet to translate fully into the mainstream restaurant dining experience. Some places offer suya on the menu but nothing beats the taste of suya from a Mai Suya (a suya seller) on the street corner who slice and grill, expertly blinking away the smoke from their eyes.
Someone once declared that alongside the horses on the Nigerian coat of arms , a generator and suya ought to be placed. This thin-sliced delight marinated in an assortment of secret spices holds its place securely in the hearts of Nigerians at home and abroad. While no one really knows how the name suya came about or what it means, the street food is a staple across the entire country and is often sold from early evenings, mostly by northern men on roadside open grills. Depending on the location, you are often able to find at least one of these every few minutes.
Suya on first look seems fairly standard fare. Skewered beef, ram, chicken or tripe marinated and grilled can’t be too hard. However, the recipe for the marinade, famously called “yaji”, seems to be one of the best-kept secrets of northern
Nigeria. When ordering suya, those with a temperament for extra spice should ask for some yaji on the side. It is an excellent condiment and goes well with rice noodles and anything that needs a kick. Think of it as the African cousin to hot sauce.

Suya can be found across West Africa, along Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger Republic. On average, it takes a few hours to prepare marinade and grill, which makes it an evening/night delicacy and the perfect meal for the tired commuter or the hungry one.
If you want to try it, it’s easy to make if you can get your hands on some yaji pepper. Soak the grill sticks for a few hours to avoid burning. Get your meats thinly sliced and skewer on the beef. Marinate in a combination of spices (yaji included), roast over a grill and enjoy with onions and tomatoes.
Don’t give up if the first time doesn’t work out so well — persevere. If all fails, you can always book a direct flight to Lagos where delicious suya is waiting on the streets for you to taste.
Bon apetit !

LAGOS IS DEVELOPED STATE AS A RESULT OF CONTINUITY... LET VOTE CONTINUITY LET VOTE BUHARI/OSINBAJO... FEB 16

Grammy- nominated rapper Cardi B briefly appeared in a New York criminal court on Thursday over her alleged involvement in a strip club brawl .
The 26 - year- old artist signed the renewal of two protection orders against the alleged victims , which bar her from making remarks on social media that could be deemed threatening to them .
Cardi B strolled into the Queens basement courtroom in high spirits, sporting a long poncho - style fur coat with a matching hat , pointy heeled boots , distressed jeans and bold taupe -framed sunglasses . Her long neon yellow -green nails were on display as she clutched her demure black purse, despite the icy weather.
The star, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar , is due to appear again in court on April 4 .
On August 29 , Cardi B was in the Angels Strip Club in Queens when her group reportedly lobbed bottles , chairs and a hookah smoking device , which police said bruised a female employee in the legs .
In October, police charged her with one count of assault and two counts of reckless endangerment over the incident .
US media reports say she allegedly ordered an attack on two sisters working at the club because one of them slept with her husband , the rapper Offset . In December , she said she and Offset had separated .
Prior to Thursday ’s minutes - long court appearance , rumors were swirling that the pair were back together .
“We ’re working things out , baby ,” she told a throng of journalists as she swooped out of the courtroom .
The couple secretly married in September 2017 and their daughter , Kulture , was born in July .
Cardi B is one of US music ’s hottest stars thanks to the runaway success of her song “Bodak Yellow , ” which touches on her past life as a stripper .
She is no stranger to controversy — she was involved in a fracas with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj at New York Fashion Week in September , later taking to Instagram to say that the older Minaj had questioned her parenting skills.
At the Grammys in February , Cardi B will vie for two of the most prestigious awards — Album and Record of the Year .
