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.

“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
away the gene of travel from a Fullo? Not from this
reporter. I am a very loyal nomad; I carry the gene of travel!

HOUSE of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal
yesterday said if there is a need to make extra
budgetary provisions for the Federal Government to
resolve the lingering face-off between it and the
Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities ASUU),
the House would do so. The Speaker spoke in Abuja when he received a
briefing on the ASUU strike from the Aminu Suleiman-
led House Committee on Education. He called for a speedy resolution of the face-off
between both sides, which have led to the closure of
government-owned universities for nearly four
months. The House mandated the Education committee to
investigate the face-off by highlighting the areas of
conflict and proffer solutions. Tambuwal urged the warring parties to consider the
interest of the students and the educational future of
the nation. He said: “Let me use this opportunity to appeal to
both the Executive arm and the authorities of ASUU to
quickly resolve the problem. If there is need for any
appropriation, the House will expeditiously assent to it
in the interest of our students and the nation.” The Ondo State Police Command yesterday dispersed
the peaceful rally staged by the Federal University of
Technology, Akure, branch of Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) and Adekunle Ajasin University
(AAU) Akungba-Akoko. The police frustrated the planned rally in Akure, the
Ondo State capital. They moved their officers and men to the entrance of
the institution and blocked the protesters from moving
out for the protest. The protesters, chanting various solidarity songs,
carried placards with various inscriptions, such as
“Sound universities yield national development”;
“Okojo-Iweala, ask your dad about ASUU struggle”;
“ASUU says no to destruction of public universities”;
“Agreement is agreement, so FG should do the right thing”, among others. Addressing reporters on the police action, the ASUU-
FUTA branch Chairman, Dr Alex Odiyi, wondered why
the police prevented the union’s members from
holding the protest. He said: “We wonder why the police are doing this to
us. We want to go to the town to inform the public
about the true state of things. That is our intention.
Now, they are saying we should not go. This is very
unfortunate.” At the AAU, Akungba-Akoko, the university teachers
were disallowed from staging their peaceful protest. Police spokesman Wole Ogodo said the police
prevented the protesters so that the protest would not
be hijacked by the hoodlums. “We have information that some hoodlums wanted
to attack the lecturers. We don’t want that to
happen, because it can cause another crisis in the
town. That is why we stopped the protest from going
beyond their campus,” Ogodo said. The University of Benin (UNIBEN) chapter of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) yesterday
held a road show and protest through major streets of
Benin, the Edo State capital. The protesters wore academic gowns and carried
placards with various inscriptions. They accused the government of plotting to sell the
universities and embarking on what they called an
“offensive propaganda”. The UNIBEN-ASUU chairman Dr Anthony Monye-Emina
said the allowance allegedly released by the
government was not their priority. He said university lecturers were interested in the
funding of “infrastructure, science laboratory,
workshops and others”. Monye said the government did not behave with
honour because President Goodluck Jonathan chaired
the fundraising of a private university at a time public
universities were on strike. He said: “This government is shameless and has no
honour. Tutors have been on strike since July 1 to
press home their 2009 agreement with the federal
government. We are not making fresh demands. The
2009 agreement recommended N1.6 trillion to cater
for education and this ought to be provided at the rate of N400 billion within a period of four years. “The government keeps saying no money to fund
education. Yet, it bailed out banks, aviation and even
Nollywood.” A former ASUU President Dr Festus Iyayi said the
government could not say there was no money. He said: “The president of United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime, last July, indicated that the amount of
money stolen by Nigerians was over $600 billion. If
you piled up that money, it would get to the moon
seven times and back.”

The Bauchi State Police Command has rescued a
middle aged man found with a human leg from being
lynched by a mob in Gudun village, Bauchi Local
Government Area of Bauchi State. The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Haruna
Mohammed, who disclosed this yesterday in Bauchi,
said that Police initially arrested a man (names
withheld) with a human leg in Bauchi. He added that after investigation, it was discovered
that the leg belonged to his father, which was
amputated in the hospital because of an illness.
Mohammed said: “The hospital gave him the
amputated leg to go and bury. As a stranger, he
pleaded with an Okada rider to take him to the outskirt of the town where he will dispose of it. “Unfortunately for him, the motorcycle rider took
him to Gudun village and alerted the public. The
enraged mob took laws in their hands and started
beating him before he was rescued by the police.” He added that after he was rescued, the Police took
his statement and paid a visit to the hospital, where
they met his father whose leg was amputated. He said: “The father of the man gave us the same
story and we feel there is nothing incriminating
against the suspect. “We released him and he was admitted in the
hospital because of the beating the villagers gave
him.”

israel007: We forgive them. GEJ is a loving father who has the interest of his children at heart. Even the prodigal ones

it would have been more beter if they where punished to sound a warning to the others

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
inaugurated its national
disciplinary committee headed by second republic
minister, Dr. Umaru
Dikko, saying it has no plans to punish it rebel
members who have formed a parallel group.

The party disclosed that it is yet to receive petitions
that would warrant
the discipline of the members of the new PDP and
their governors. The
governors include those of Rivers, Kano, Niger,
Adamawa, Jigawa, Kwara and Sokoto.

Inaugurating the disciplinary committee, the chairman
of PDP, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur
said the former minister of Transport in the second
Republic, Dr. Umaru
Dikko was chosen to head the party’s national disciplinary
committee because of his
unflinching stand on discipline and his love for
democracy.

Tukur recalled that Dikko’s narrow escape from
being kidnapped from
Britain to
Nigeria by the military some years ago, was on
because they (military) was
uncomfortable with his call for democracy even while outside the country.

Tukur who said the members of the committee were
considered for the job
on grounds
of their pedigree and love for discipline and the party
said no society
progresses without adhering to rules and regulation.

Charging the committee to offer their best he said
“You are chosen to do this
important committee based on your pass record and
love for democracy.
these are
people who will not witch hunt anybody, but you can be sure not to come to
them when
you cross the line” he said.

Dikko thanked the party for the confidence placed on
the committee,
promising that
they would do everything that was needed to move
the party forward.

However, two of the committee members, deputy
chairman, Chief Ebenezer
Babatope and
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu were not at the
inauguration.

Other members on the committee are Shuaibu
Oyedokun, Hajiya Nana Aisha
Quadir,
Hussaini Kazaer and Onwe Onwe as secretary.

But addressing the press shortly after the
inauguration, PDP’s spokesman,
Chief
Oliseh Metuh, said the party cannot sanction the G7
governors because
there are no petitions against them yet.

He added that no disciplinary measure was planned
against the governors,
because the
party leadership has been meeting on how to
reconcile its members.

He underscored that some of the aggrieved members
and the governors are
founding
members of the party who would not go out of their
way to pull the party down

An Abeokuta Magistrate Court, sitting in Isabo, on
Wednesday remanded two officials of First Bank
Nigeria Plc in prison for the alleged fraudulent transfer
of N200m from the bank’s branch in Adigbe,
Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The accused persons -24-year-old Idris Salawu and
Oni Adewale, 29, formerly employees of FBN branch,
Adigbe, were arraigned before Magistrate A.O Araba
on a three counts of stealing, forgery and fraud.

The prosecutor, Paul Etusi, told the court that the two
accused bankers committed the offence on January
25, 2013 at one of the branches of the bank located in
the Adigbe area of the state capital.

Etusi said the two suspects fraudulently converted a
sum of N200m “with intent permanently to deprive
the bank of the ownership of the property.”

The police added, “The accused has committed an
offence contrary to section 383 (1)(2)(a) of the
Criminal Code and punishable under Section 390(9)
Law of Ogun State Nigeria, 2006.

“The accused forged online transfer token document
to defraud the sum of N200m property of First Bank,
and connived with another person yet to be found,
and transferred the money to his account.

“The accused had already withdrawn N22m from
the money; they had committed an offence contrary
to section 465 and punishable under section 467 law
of Ogun State Nigeria 2006.”

The Magistrate ordered the accused persons to be
remanded in prison before adjourning the case to
Friday to consider their bail application.

Na wa for these country oh

Tragedy struck when a 72-year-old man beat his 14-
year-old daughter to death in the Iba area of Lagos
State over her refusal to attend The Lord’s Chosen
Church with him. The deceased’s mother, Mrs.
Comfort Udin, 40, explained that her husband had
been angry over their daughter’s refusal to attend his church, The Lord’s Chosen.

Comfort, the mother of the deceased revealed that her
husband, John Udin, used a stick, covered with nails, to
beat his daughter. One of the nails perforated her
forehead and she later died.

According to her, the victim, Ejiro Udin, began her
journey to the grave last week Tuesday after they told
John that they were going to church. The church was
however a new church, which Comfort had started
attending with the children. She said she did not like
John’s church after she attended it once. John had forbidden them from going to church that day. This
order had generated a quarrel and John started
beating Ejiro with a whip. He later dropped the whip,
picked the stick, which had nails and slammed it on
her forehead. Rather than take the young girl to
hospital, John was alleged to have locked both mother and daughter inside the kitchen, where they spent the
night. By the time they took Ejiro to hospital on
Sunday, almost five days after the nail attack, it was
too late. She died at the hospital that same day.

John on the other hand, said his wife was lying. He
explained that he has 14 children and had never killed
any of them. According to him, he wanted to hit his
wife with the stick, but his wife pushed Ejiro into the
path of the stick. He explained that on the fateful day,
his wife and daughter had attacked him, after he told them not to go to church that evening because they
had not given him food since morning.

Comfort has four children for John, with Ejiro being the
eldest. His other eight children are from two former
wives.
