PoliticsRevenue Agents Beat Up Monarch In Abia by vizboy(op): 11:57am On Oct 30, 2013
Tragedy struck at Ogbor Ancient Kingdom in Aba
North Local Government Area of Abia state yesterday
as a yet to be identified revenue team pushed down
the traditional ruler of the community, His Royal
Highness, Eze Sylvanus Azu Egege. The revenue team comprising thugs and policemen
were on a drive in the community located at Ukaegbu
road, Aba where they allegedly went about
brutalizing women and youths while dragging them to
their bus. The monarch who was alerted to the situation by one
of his subjects came to scene and appealed to the
team not to use force on residents in the collection but
his appeal was said to have been rejected by a
member of the team who pushed him down. Lamenting the situation, Eze Egege condemned the
way the revenue agents have been going about the
issue of collection of revenue in the community. I was
alerted to the incident by one of my subjects who
complained that the revenue team came with thugs
and policemen, started beating up residents of the community and forcing them into a bus. When I went
there, I advised them not to use force on people, but
one of the thugs pushed me down. I have been
complaining about the conduct of these revenue
teams with their touts and policemen. Last time, can
you believe that a policeman shot a tear gas into a room because he suspected somebody was inside the
house? The tear gas almost killed a pregnant woman
who fainted but was later revived at the hospital. We
are not against the collection of revenue but they
should be civil in their approach. I went the Eziama Division and other neighboring
police Divisions but they denied sending any
policemen to accompany revenue agents.
Government should take a second look at the method
of collecting revenue. The incident was said to have angered youths of the
community who embarked on a protest march to
some offices of known revenue agents in the city,
destroying the property in the process. One of the revenue agents whose property was
destroyed, Chief Peter Wagbara said he is not in
charge of collection of revenue in the community and
wondered why the youths would invade his office
destroyed tables, chairs, receipts and looted and an
undisclosed amount of money. Wagbara who is the Managing Director of Panco
Agencies said he has reported the matter to the Aba
Area Command of the Nigeria police. Im a law abiding
citizen, I cant take the law into my hands. The matter
has been reported to the police. Im waiting for the
police to do their job.

CrimeBrother Dies In Crash While On Way To See Sister Who Committed Suicide by vizboy(op): 10:46am On Oct 30, 2013
Brenda Tucker, 21, was at her family-owned bar early
Sunday in Detroit, Mich. when she took a gun, walked
into a back room, and shot herself, Detroit News
reported. Her uncle, Eddie Falbo, said Tucker suffered from
depression. Attempts to stop her suicide failed. “She grabbed a gun, and I took it away from her
head,” Falbo said. “Others were talking to her. I
came out the door and heard, ‘pop.’ It was
terrible. There were about eight to 10 people in the
bar — everyone heard it.” An ambulance took her to the hospital, where she
was pronounced dead. As her brother, 20-year-old
Ricky Tucker, raced to the hospital to check on her, he
was struck by an SUV and killed, police told the Detroit
Free Press . Detroit police spokeswoman Kelly Miner said the
younger sibling crossed the center line when his car
collided with the SUV. The other driver suffered minor
injuries and was treated at the hospital. “It’s just one disaster after another for this poor
family,” said Regina Holman, the owner of the bar.
“I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like to bury
two children.” Sister Amandajo Holman said she talked to her
brother Ricky moments before he got in his car,
according to USA Today. “After the doctors finally told us Brenda was dead, I
called down to the bar to see about her cell phone,
and that’s when I was told Ricky had been in a car
accident,” she recalled. Holman left the hospital to go to the accident site, and
returned to the hospital where her mom was waiting. “She just called me and asked me where I was, and I
could tell in her voice that Ricky didn’t make it,”
Holman said. This incident now marks the third death in the family
in the past six months, Falbo said. The uncle said Ricky
Tucker fatally shot his step-father in self-defense. “The boy — the one who just died — killed his step-
dad. They were shooting back and forth, and he killed
him in self-defense,” Falbo said. “The police let him
right out of jail, because [his step-father] was shooting
at him. “Three people in one family killed in six months,”
Falbo said. “These kids’ mother is going through
hell.”

Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger state has
said that contrary to reports, he remains a
member of the G7 governors. Speaking when members of the civil service union
paid him a courtesy call at the government house in
Minna, Governor Aliyu explained that as a leader of
the G7 governors, he remains committed to the cause
of the aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic

President Goodluck Jonathan and can only take a
decision on their political future after the Discussion. It will be recalled that the Abubakar Baraje faction of
the PDP which the aggrieved G7 governors belong
was not favoured in the recent court ruling as it
recognized the Bamanga Tukur PDP Faction as the
legitimate PDP. The aggrieved G7 governors namely: Aliyu Wamakko,
Sule Lamido of Jigawa, Rivers state’s Rotimi

Jobs/VacanciesSSS ‘Informant’ Defrauds Job Seekers Of N3.5m by vizboy(op): 2:41pm On Oct 29, 2013
A self-proclaimed informant for the Directorate of State Security, Okon Ntiedo, has been arrested for swindling over 50 unemployed persons from Cross River and Akwa Ibom states of N3.5m, under the guise of securing federal appointments for them.

The 27-year-old suspect, who was arrested on Thursday at a drinking spot in the Afokang area of Calabar South, is currently being detained at the Mbukpa Police Station in Calabar.

Ntiedo had allegedly promised to secure employment for the victims at the Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency, Nigeria Prisons Service and other federal parastatals.

He was said to have collected between N100, 000 and N250, 000 from the victims under the pretence that it would be used to process their forms and lobby officials in the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When PUNCH Metro visited the police station on Monday, Ntiedo confessed that he had collected various sums of money from the victims but alleged that the total money collected was N2m and not N3.5m.

He said he had worked in collaboration with a medical officer in the Nigeria Air Force, who is based in Kaduna, and a personal assistant in the ministry of internal affairs (names withheld).

Ntiedo said he was willing to pay back the money to the victims, but added that other “partners” would have to bring what he had transferred to them through their accounts.

He also said he had worked as an informant for the SSS since 2007, although he did not have any official identity card from the directorate.

Ntiedo said, “I have been working for the SSS since 2007 as an informant and have been posted to various parts of the country to monitor one activity or the other.

“I have also worked with the other suspects and we have maintained constant interactions. We have been working together based on agreed percentage.”

An Akwa Ibom State indigene, who was a victim, said he was introduced to Ntiedo by the air force personnel.

The 40-year-old victim, who pleaded anonymity, said, “I have known the air force official for more than 10 years. I didn’t have any cause to doubt him when he introduced Ntiedo to me.

“We rallied round our communities, gathered our sons and daughters, who are unemployed and those who did not have good jobs. We took a loan with an expectation of getting the jobs.

“Ntiedo told us on the telephone that the appointment would be available by September but September came and passed, no sign of anything. We started investigations and discovered that the suspect was staying in Calabar, Cross River State.

“He was just sending text messages to us to pay in money into three accounts and we kept on paying. Our tellers are with us and we have given copies to the police.”

Another victim, who identified himself as Emmanuel, said, “Initially I paid N100, 000 to an account belonging to the younger brother of the air force personnel, but his younger brother (name withheld) later died.

“When the brother died, I called the air force man with the deceased’s phone and he (personnel) told me that he will take up the project personally but that I should call Ntiedo and pay an additional N75,000 which I did. Unfortunately, nothing was done about the employment.”

When contacted, the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Hogan Bassey, confirmed the story, saying the suspect had been arrested.

He said, “The information is correct and there is no attempt to release Ntiedo from detention because investigations are continuing. When we are through, he will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigations. He is not an employee of the SSS; we have confirmed that. His so called residential address is still in doubt.”

PoliticsFootball Fan Suffers Heart Attack And Dies After Eaglets Game At U17 World Cup by vizboy(op): 3:09pm On Oct 28, 2013
AN unidentified Nigerian football fan has unfortunately died in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) after suffering from a
heart attack and collapsing following the Golden
Eaglets’ recent 3-3 draw with Sweden in Al-Ain City. One Tuesday last week, the Golden Eaglets played
Sweden in a pulsating game in the ongoing U17 World
Cup that ended three goals apiece at the Kalifa Bin
Zayed Stadium. According to eye witness reports, the
fan died yesterday having suffering a cardiac arrest
after the game while in the bus conveying Nigerian fans back to Dubai from Al-Ain. A businessman based in the UAE, the fan was rushed
to Dubai hospital for treatment, where he had been
until he passed on in the early morning of yesterday.
A close friend of the deceased said that his remains
were still in the morgue of the hospital. Tomorrow, the Eaglets play Iran in the second round
of the competition also at the Al Ain City but it is not
yet clear if the team will wear black armbands in
honour of the fan. Nigerian fans have been among the
most vocal at the competition as the large community
in the UAE have turned out in numbers to support the team. Also in the Middle East today, Nigeria’s home-based
Super Eagles will play Jordan in a friendly game in
Amman in preparation for next year’s Championship
of African Nations (Chan) tournament due in South
Africa. Jordan requested the game as they prepare for
a World Cup play-off against Uruguay on the 13th and 20th on November. Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said: “Jordan has been
together for a while and they play Uruguay in the
World Cup playoff. We are playing a very strong team
and it would be a difficult game. “It’s not easy, as some of our players are new and
it’s their first time, so I expect the early panic I have
seen from them. However, in all, I am impressed at
their fitness levels and we will continue to do our
best.” Nigeria is expected to open training camp for the Chan
tournament in December. In what will be Nigeria’s
first ever showing at the tournament, the Eagles have
been drawn against hosts South Africa, Mali and
Mozambique in the competition strictly for players
featuring in their local African leagues.

Golden Eaglets to face Iran in U17 World Cup
round of 16 after 5-0 demolition of Iraq Posted by peter omenuko in Sports on October 26, 2013 NIGERIA’S Golden Eaglets will be facing Iran in the next stage of
the U17 World Cup taking place in the United Arab
Emirates after toping their group yesterday with a 5-0
demolition of Iraq. Living up to their billing as one of the tournament’s
favourites, the Eaglets cruised to an early victory in
their last group game in Dubai yesterday. This follows
on from a similarly impressive 6-1 victory over Mexico
and a 2-2- draw with Sweden, which enabled them
top of Group F with 14 goals scored and only four conceded. Yesterday’s game at the Rashid Stadium in Dubai
was a one-sided affair with the Eaglets scoring four
times in the first half. Nigeria has not lost a group-
stage game at a U-17 World Cup since 1993 and the
Eaglets were in no mood to start today, with Chidi
Nwakali hitting the woodwork after only two minutes. Seconds later, the team opened the scoring when
Musa Yahaya was fouled in the area and
namesake Musa Mohammed converted from the
spot. From then onwards, it was goals galore as the
Eaglets cruised to victory with three more in the 17th,
41st and 90th minutes. Eaglets coach Manu Garba, said: ” We were helped
by the two early goals, but they’re a very organised
unit and they played well. I think they’ll have a
bigger part to play when the next U-20 World Cup rolls
around.” Nigeria now plays Iran at the Al Ain stadium on
Tuesday October 29 where the eaglets are favourites
to win and qualify for the quarter finals where they
will meet either Uruguay or Slovakia. Africa’s three
other teams in the tournament all made it through to
the last 16, with Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Morocco managing to scrape through.

PoliticsFETISH CALL: Bukola Saraki’s Annual Ritual Of Deaths – By Is’haq Modibbo Kaw by vizboy(op): 12:51pm On Oct 26, 2013
“Every man’s death diminishes me for I am
involved in mankind; so ask not for whom the bell
tolls; it tolls for thee”— John Donne LAST Wednesday, as has become his wont, during
Sallah, Bukola Saraki, former Kwara State governor
and Senator representing Kwara Central, gathered
people in Ilorin to distribute money and pieces of
cloths. And in a copy of what has happened on two previous
occasions, there was a stampede, resulting in a tragic
loss of lives of many of those gathered on the
occasion. Mas’ud Adebimpe, a Bukola sidekick, and
Kwara State PDP Publicity Secretary, issued a
statement of condolence and confirmed four deaths. The media variously reported between 10 and 20
deaths; the online medium, Premium Times, quoted a
mortuary source at the Sobi Specialist Hospital in
Ilorin, as having counted 15 corpses. There are
rumours in Ilorin that over 40 people actually lost their
lives in the tragic stampede. Bukola, who gathered the people, issued his own
condolence, stating that “our party’s strength
resides solely in the support from party faithful which
gives us confidence always-it’s very painful to have
lost these party faithful”. It is noteworthy that
Adebimpe had also stressed the “party faithful” line while expressing “regret to announce that (they)
lost four of our party members to the unfortunate
development”. It is obvious that Bukola and his sidekick were
cynically manipulating the tragedy to underline the
party line in order to posit the old PDP argument that
what happened was no one else’s business,
because it was their “family” or their party’s
business. Manipulative pattern It is also instructive that there is a consistently
manipulative pattern of reportage of these killings by
Bukola and his henchmen. But the first thing that
should worry all rational observers is the persistent
pattern of deaths of people in these annual gatherings
in the hands of the young man who deludes himself as “leader” in the political scheme of things in Kwara
State. If there had been just one stampede resulting in the
death of even a single individual, we would normally
have all been saddened by such an unfortunate
incident. A second stampede will be seen as a tragic
coincidence too many, especially because of the
repeated pattern of event and very significant loss of lives always deliberately under-reported, with the
active collaboration of a complicit local media. But a third stampede in as many years, with the same
pattern of gathering of the people in a most
dehumanising and disrespectful manner, has become
not only a source of anger but has become completely
obscene and unacceptable! Nigerians must not allow
this latest tragedy to be swept under the carpet, as they elaborately attempt to spin the story out of the
headlines. Even the victims are already being blamed for
disorderliness, while Bukola is being whited up (like a
sepulcher?) as ‘compassionate’. Traditional rulers
have been corralled as part of a conspiracy of spin,
with the Etsu Patigi leading a condolences delegation,
instead of asking disturbing questions as to why we annually harvest the deaths of our poor people. Instructively, the online medium, Premium Times
reported early this week, a desperate effort to cover
up the tragic deaths, when the DPO in charge of the
jurisdiction was allegedly ordered from the Zone 8
command HQ in Lokoja to “suspend investigation and
immediately forward the case file to the zonal command”! This harvest of deaths of poor people stains Bukola’s
hands, starting from November 17 2010, when at
least 11 supporters died in his Mandate House
campaign HQ. But just as happened last week, Bukola
and his PDP gang claimed that ‘only four’ “party
faithful” died on the occasion. Mas’ud Adebimpe, press secretary to then Governor Saraki, toed the
official line that “the deceased would be greatly
missed by both the party and their families”. The next round of deaths by stampede was harvested
on May 27, 2011, with up to 25 dying in the
pandemonium following the distribution of six yards
of cloth and N5000, to inaugurate the incoming
governor. Bukola did not depart from his usually
cynical line on the tragedy: “I’m deeply saddened to receive the news about the loss of some of our
party members…”. Humanity of victims Neither showing remorse about the humanity of
victims, nor their loss as citizens, sons, daughters,
parents or members of community, but the absolute
manipulation of political circumstance, with an eye on
continued hegemonic control of the people and the
resources of the state! The standard definition of lunacy is to do the same
thing over and over and expect a different outcome.
Bukola is a medical doctor, so he should know that for
a fact. Why does he continue to gather people in
hundreds when there is the likelihood of the
stampede witnessed in the past? Must politics be played with so little respect for the sanctity of human
lives? Why has theBukola Saraki political group refused to
move beyond the manipulation of the people’s
poverty as a means of hegemonic control? Must the
people of KwaraState be perpetually at the receiving
end of the humiliation regularly visited upon them by
a young man who sits atop the resources of the state and calls himself ‘leader’? When would they apprehend the imperative of
genuine empowerment that can translate into wealth
creation and dignity for the people? How does Bukola
sleep comfortably with his conscience, considering
the harvest of deaths on his head with these
stampedes? It is incredible, but far more people have died under Saraki’s watch, than the community lost
during the Nigerian Civil War (and I say this
responsibly, as someone who lost two cousins in the
war!). But as the NLC, CISLAC and other patriotic individuals
and organisations have severally pointed out in the
past week, more than ever before, we have arrived
at a tipping point in KwaraState. The humiliating
politics by handouts, from resources that actually
belong to the people must be ended! The authoritarian pall cast over the state by the Saraki group must be
lifted, karfi da yaji, as we say in Hausa. The oppressive atmosphere of fear has largely
endured because of the endemic and humiliating
poverty, mob culture of violence, the vicious cult of
Saraki’s personality and the fact that people are
scared of dire consequences, if they speak up! The comforting truth is that there has NEVER been 100
percent dictatorial control in human history. The
minority that refuses to be cowered will eventually be
the spark lighting the fire that will burn the veldt of
oppression and the elaborate infrastructure of heist.
That time has appeared on the horizon in KwaraState. The people are fed up with the hegemonic dictatorship
of the arrogant young man. He is fighting for his political life now, at the national
level and the homestead is slipping from his hands,
despite the spin and propaganda. This is why he has
become even more desperate to give out the Ankara
cloths and N1000. But that has always been badly
handled, leading to the stampedes ending in tragic loss of lives, as happened last Wednesday. Bukola cannot sustain the delusion of grandeur that
drives his politics. He has alienated himself with his
arrogance and has offended too many people. His
type of politics isbackwards and reactionary; and it is
too costly in the body counts that the people of
KwaraState have to continuously endure! Between China and Vietnam IT is 0259HRS local time in Vietnam
on Monday night/Tuesday morning and 1959HRS on
Monday in Nigeria. I am writing these lines in the
absolutely stunning Victoria Hotels & Resorts in the
Vietnamese town of Can Tho. We had flown into the commercial city of the south of
Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, named
after the national hero and communist leader. The
drive from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho took about four
hours, through Mekong River Delta towns, with rows
and rows of rice paddies on both sides of the road, as far as the human eye could see! The two-hour flight from the Chinese city of
Guangzhou was not eventful, except perhaps for the
funny way the airbus plane sounded at take off and
landing, points that Chief Audu Ogbeh noted as we
steadied into the flight and which all other members
of our delegation discussed briefly after airport formalities. The Ho Chi Minh City airport is much bigger than any of
the airports in Nigeria and is very neat. We noticed the
orderliness about the place and the city itself is a
sprawling metropolis, with the heat and humidity very
much like Lagos’! This country must be the moped
capital of the world! There are motorcycles everywhere, ridden by men and women, young and
old. We left Nigeria on Sallah Day, via Ethiopia where we
transited for four hours before the near 11-hour flight
to Guangzhou. I had been invited by the Borno State
government to join a delegation attending the Canton
Trade Fair, where deals were struck to make
purchases of equipment central to efforts the state is making in the development agenda for the post-Boko
Haram insurgency period. The main issues for the government are agriculture
and agro-allied businesses, poverty alleviation and
empowerment issues as well as water resource
development, irrigation adapted to the realities of the
state as well the large scale production of wheat, rice
and groundnuts and vegetables. We are in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam as part of the rice production
initiative, because Vietnam is now the world’s
second largest producer of rice. Borno wants to tap into the expertise for an all-year
round production of rain-fed and irrigated production.
This is my first visit to Vietnam, a country whose
struggle played a very significant role in the
development of my consciousness. I read everything
that Ho Chi Minh wrote and I used to enjoy his collection of poetry, with its patriotic melancholy and
steely determination to achieve freedom from
colonialism. They achieved it but with tremendous sacrifice,
because the United States dropped more bombs on
Vietnam than were used during the Second World
War! Yet these people have returned to their
humanity and are now waging a battle against
underdevelopment. The Borno State delegation is here to borrow a leaf
from the efforts of the Vietnamese people. Next
week, we will talk a bit more about the week I have
spent in China and Vietnam. Who says you can take
