PLEASE READ TO THE END

The narrative in recent times especially from those who support the present regime, is that "PDP destroyed" our country and it will take time to rebuild it. Read below and be the Judge--
1. *Sen. Pres. Bukola Saraki. PDP Governor for 8yrs and PDP Senator for over 3 yrs.* Joined APC in 2014. He is the Senate President.
2. *Speaker Yakubu Dogara. Two-term PDP House of Rep member.* Joined APC in 2014 and was elected for a third time in 2015. He is the Speaker.
3. *VP Atiku Abubakar. Nigeria's PDP Vice-President for 8yrs* and presently an APC Elderstatesman after jumping from one party to the other since 2007.
4. *Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba. PDP Senator for 12yrs.* Decamped to APC about two months ago. He is the serving Chairman, NDDC Board.
5. *Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri. Two-term PDP Senator from Bayelsa State.* Decamped to APC after the 2015 elections. He is a serving Minister of the Republic.
6. *Sen. Ita Enang. Two-term PDP Senator from Akwa-Ibom.* Joined APC before the 2015 elections. Presently the SSA to the President on NASS.
7. *Gov. Samuel Ortom. Long-serving Benue State Secretary of the PDP. Former National Auditor of the PDP and former Minister under Pres. Jonathan.* Joined APC in December 2014. He is the Governor of Benue State.
8. *Sen. Barnabas Gemade. Founding father of the PDP, former National Chairman of the party and Senator from 2011.* Joined APC in December 2014. He is a serving Senator.
9. *Gov. Atiku Bagudu. A two-term PDP Senator from Kebbi.* Joined the APC at some point. He is the serving Governor of Kebbi State.
10. *Gov. Aminu Tambuwal. Former PDP Speaker of the House of Representatives.* Joined APC in 2014. He is the serving Governor of Sokoto State.
11. *Sen. Abdullahi Adamu. Two-term PDP Governor of Nasarawa and Senator in 2011.* Joined APC in 2014. Still a serving Senator.
12. *Sen. Danjuma Goje. Two-term PDP Governor of Gombe State and Senator in 2011.* Joined APC in 2014. Still a serving Senator.
13. *Hon. Dakuku Peterside. Was a PDP Rep member from Rivers State.* Joined APC along with Gov. Amaechi. He is the DG of NIMASA.
14. *Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso. Two-term PDP Governor of Kano State and former Minister of Defence under Pres. Obasanjo.* Joined APC in late 2013. He is a serving Senator.
15. *Hon. Rotimi Amaechi. Former PDP Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly. Two-term PDP Governor of Rivers.* Joined APC in late 2013. He is a serving Minister of the Republic.
16. *Gov. Rochas Okorocha. Was a Special Adviser to PDP's Pres. Obasanjo. Became the Governor of Imo on APGA's platform.* Joined APC in February 2013. He is the Governor of Imo State.
17. *Sen. George Akume. Two-term PDP Governor of Benue State and Senator in 2007.* Left the party in December 2010. Still a serving APC Senator.
18. *Gov. Nasir El-Rufai. Former FCT Minister under Pres. Obasanjo.* Left the PDP in 2010 and joined CPC. He is the serving APC Governor of Kaduna State.
19. *Gov. Bello Masari. PDP Speaker of the House of Reps in 2003.* Joined the CPC in 2010. He is the serving APC Governor of Katsina State.
20. *Sen. Adamu Aliero. Two-term PDP Governor of Kebbi State and Senator in 2007. Later became FCT Minister under Pres. Yar'Adua.* Joined APC at some point. He is a serving Senator.
21. *Sen. Udoma Udo Udoma. Two-term PDP Senator from Akwa-Ibom State.* I don't even know if he ever decamped to APC. He is the serving Minister of Budget & National Planning.
Now, *save for Atiku who is a serial Presidential aspirant waiting for another election year to continue with his impossible dream of becoming Nigeria's President,* all the above are holding offices in this regime. *They all played a part in the 16yrs of "PDP destruction"* but somehow are members of the APC that want to "rebuild". Wow!
My submission therefore is that *PDP did NOT destroy Nigeria. PDP is just a name/acronym.* The Nigerian people destroyed Nigeria.
*Hence, let us vote candidates/people in 2019, not party.* The *human being is the issue, not APC, PDP, APGA or LP.*
As we can see from above. Change is pipe dream in this country. If you are part of a problem, definitely you can't be part of the solution. Our politicians lack credibility. They have no ideology. They jump ship instantaneously. They are political mathematicians. in fact , they are more physicists than Einstein. As soon as they discover , where pendulum of victory is swinging, they wait at the end of the oscillation and catch the pendulum itself. These same set of people paved way for PMB's emergence and they are big stakeholders in his government. So our innocent President is helpless . Undoubtedly, he can achieve little with the corrupt politicians around him............
Let's create a new Nigeria where ideology and sound belief in d wellness of average Nigerians will be d focus and not personality.Agenda 2019
DO NOT RECYCLE CORRUPTION. MAKE SURE THAT ALL FORMER GOVERNORS, MINISTERS AND LEGISLATORS ARE NOT REELECTED.

Nigeria Wake up!!!

That's great!

Fellow Nairalanders what caption can be given to this type of hair?

AWOLOWO SPEAKS

*** Please read the letter below, by Chief Awolowo requesting for an education loan from Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola on March 25, 1943 , (the richest Ijebu man in those days) and promised to pay back by 1955. It is fascinating, long and interesting. ****

~ LETTER:

Dear Mr. Odutola,

I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go straight into the object of this letter and say that I am writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free of interest for twelve years.

It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it become, when it is realized that I, who am asking for this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a security for this money, excepting my good faith and my brains which again are of value only so long as I continue to breathe the breath of life!

Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why i want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I have to say, even though, in the end you might find yourself unable to do me this grand favour.

One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one. I cherish politics and journalism as a career, and I desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no money with which to support himself and family comfortably, is like a blade which has no razor.

Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough money with which I could proceed to England in order to pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which have now been surmounted.

As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal; I hate to be a government or mercantile employee. Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there to get a suitable and well paid job under government or one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however, once I become an employee of government or a mercantile establishment that is the end to my career as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved that under no circumstances will I take up such employment.

That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of age. After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest sufficient to cover expenses, I should go to England, this year and within three years, I should qualify as a Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this degrees apart from giving me good backing as a solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a politician and journalist.

But where on earth could i get the money? Who in Nigeria today could give £1,400 free of interest to help his fellow-man? J. Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing, I hit upon you.

I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the bounty with which providence blesses your grit and efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy to give the money for the pursuit of the project for which I desire it.

But then, could you take this risk?

That is the question. As I have said before, I have no security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest. So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the whole transaction, except the satisfaction that by helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa.

This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that I might die in the course of my studies or immediately after, so that, since I have no security or surety, you stand the chance of losing not only the money but also the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon.

But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will do, you will not only get your money back in full, but you will, to the end of your days, have cause to rejoice that you have done one of the most outstanding and most philanthropic acts any human being ever does. Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the money while in England by breaking records in my examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall make it a point not only to pay your money back in full, but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards me in every way I can.

All the same, it is a big risk! So, Sir, I like you to think seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the interest of a young man who has brain, industry and determination to back his ambition, but lacks the money. I know we have never been close friends, but I have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help me.

On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and last stage of this letter.

I shall not require the whole £1,400 in a lump sum. To start with, you will help me pay a sum of £208-13s-3d to the Inner Temple. I have already received an application form from this Inn of Court; and from the details forwarded, I gather that the sum of £208-13s-3d will cover all the cost of training as a barrister, examination fees excluded.

When I am ready to sail, you will advance me a sum of £100 to cover passage, provision for my family and any other incidental expenses (NOTE: If I got torpedoed on the way, you would certainly lose this £100 but you will recover the £208-13s-3d).

At the same time you will remit to a London Bank the sum of £491-6s-9d. It is out of this amount that I shall pay the university fees for LL.B course and for special courses in political science and journalism, when I land in England. This is to say, the initial advance will total £800.

At the end of the first year, provided I make satisfactory progress in my studies, you will give instruction to the bank to honour all cheques from me drawn on this account. There will be an arrangement to be signed by me on my return.

On my return, I shall require TWO years within which to establish a solid practice and build a good reputation. After these two years, I should commence to pay at least £200 per annum either in monthly, quarterly or annual payments. So that in seven years after the first two years, I should pay back the whole sum of £1,400. That will be TWELVE YEARS from the time you help me to pay this in April or so this year, then I should be due to pay the whole of £1,400 by April 1955.

Now, as you yourself will see, this is the farthest limit within which I can pay the money. It may be possible for me to pay the money within THREE to FIVE years of my return. As a matter of fact, the sooner I pay it off, the better. But it is much better to be on the safe side in a matter like this. It is no making promises now which will be difficult to fulfil in future. On the contrary it is better to mention a period of twelve years and pay within SIX or EIGHT years than to mention FIVE YEARS and fail to pay within TEN years. Personally, I prefer that I should fail to get the loan under theses unattractive but sure conditions, rather than succeed in getting it under attractive but precarious conditions.

Now, this is all I have to say. You have my request before you, and the reason why i make the request. It is left for you to decide whether it is worthwhile to take the risk of helping me in the manner outlined above or not.

If you do me the great favour, not only myself and all that are mine, but also God and Africa will be grateful, I shall have no cause whatsoever to grumble or to blame you, FOR THE RISK IS GREAT.

Since this is a very selfish request, I enclosed herewith a self addressed stamped envelope to be sent under a registered post.

Obafemi Awolowo.



Merciful God!

* Chief Odutola refused him of the Loan, Awo could not travel that year. He buckle up his lace and by August 14, 1944 (one year later) he travelled to England, became a Barrister at law and was called to the Bar in November 1946. Amazingly, by 1954 (A year to the time he promised to pay Chief Odutola the Loan ) , Chief Awolowo was already a Premier in the Defunct Western Region and already giving out Scholarship to over 200 undergraduates (First of its kind in Africa).

I find it a great pleasure, to replicate the full version of the Awoistic dedicatory letter, following a stiff request by friends that the Nigerian Youths need to see and digest

*copied*

Expectations were high when President Muhammadu Buhari came on board and we had hoped that he would hit the ground running. However, it took about six months before he appointed members of his cabinet. The reasons adduced are known to everybody as they bordered on the rot and decadence in the system. But now, almost two years after, not much has been achieved. Be that as it may, we can see a lot of positives coming up.

Take the health sector for example. Things have been just the way they used to be. The National Health Bill which was passed by the National Assembly has yet to become operational and that is a big hindrance to a big leap in the health sector.

That in itself would have helped a lot of universal coverage concerning the National Health Insurance Scheme which is presently at about five or six per cent. Implementing the law would have ensured coverage of not less than 75 per cent or 80 per cent of Nigerians. It would have provided universal health coverage for rural dwellers in such a way that they would not need to come to urban centres to access health care.
In terms of health budgeting, the World Health Organisation has a standard of not less than 20 per cent of the nation’s budget to the health sector. We were hovering between four and six per cent during the last administration. Unfortunately, we just managed to hit around five per cent again this year after it dropped to four per cent last year.

The tenure of a lot of medical directors has expired. Some of them are heading up to two years and there has not been appointment in up to 15 or more federal tertiary institutions where the tenures of the previous chief executives had expired.

There is nothing to cheer about in the health sector except maybe the appreciable improvement in the timing of interventions during outbreaks of infectious diseases. We all know about the meningitis outbreak which is ravaging some parts of the country. We also know about Ebola resurgence, though not in Nigeria, we, however, know that the whole world is a global village. And that it can spread to any part of the world. A response in terms of outbreak to diseases has been fair, but it can be a lot better. • Dr Kunle Olawepo, (Chairman, Nigerian Medical Association, Kwara State branch)

It has been a mixed bag of blessings and setbacks. Blessings, in the sense that we have witnessed a formidable attack on corruption which has been a major problem in Nigeria’s politics. There have been setbacks in the sense that there have been many challenges confronting the anti-corruption crusade.

For instance, there has been a cat and rat relationship between the executive and legislative organs, and this has impacted negatively on the anti-corruption initiative.

Also, because Nigeria has been enmeshed in economic crises, people have not been able to really see the merit of the Buhari administration because they have been assessing it from the economic dimension. People believe that because of this, he has not done anything. But he has actually tried despite his health challenges. In the area of fighting terrorism, he has done very well. I know what the security situation was when he came and what it is now.

For employment creation, there has not been much progress. But maybe that is due to the current economic crunch. Although there is an ongoing agitation for salary increment by civil servants, I know that it is not going to work because the money is not just there.

In the education sector, the level of education has remained abysmal for close to two decades and this administration has also not made progress in that area. But you cannot hold him responsible for that because in the last 10 to 20 years, the education sector has been awful. If you see the instructional facilities we use, you will marvel; they are very bad.

The fiscal allocation for education is too small, in addition to the fact that corruption is also a problem in the sector. The development crisis in Nigeria is very huge.

So, what I will advise is that Buhari should identify two areas. He can fight corruption to a definitive end and address the issue of worsening power situation. If he can tackle those two, then he will be okay. •Dr Iro Aghedo (Lecturer, University of Benin)

I think President Muhammadu Buhari has tried his best even though the masses have not really felt the essence of what he has been doing. Coming from where we had been before his assumption of office as President, it took a long time to get the country into the present situation.

So, you don’t expect magic within the two years of his reign for the economy of the country, corruption and security to be resolved. I’m pretty sure that we are now on the right track as the case maybe.

The president has his own style of leadership; those of us in the industry have come to realise that the man actually has a good heart and he really wants to help the country attain greatness.

The whole issue is a process; we have to be patient with him.

I will rate him highly in the area of security by securing the release of many Chibok girls. He has also empowered the Vice President. Even though the President is ill, the Vice President is doing his best to put to work most of the President’s ideas. To me, the President has really tried his best within the last two years. •Bayo Adeloye (Marine Engineer/consultant)

Buhari came to power on principally two issues: security and anti-corruption. His ratings based on these two are commendable. The North East is better secured, bombings which were rife in Abuja is tamed. Remember the police headquarters, the United Nation’s building, motor parks and churches have been attacked by Boko Haram.

The bombing of churches used to be every Sunday. It is much better now. Granted that there is now the added pressure of herdsmen killings; the belief is that hopefully this will also be addressed.

Corruption undoubtedly, is being addressed and public officials are more careful. The EFCC is much more vibrant.

There have been complaints of selective targets. The point for me is, are the so-called targets innocent? There is talk of media trials or so. I don’t see how EFCC publicising its work or cases amounts to media trial.

It is in order and tells us citizens of efforts made. On other fronts, Buhari can do better and so far below par. Areas like power supply and communication are getting worse. On the whole I score Buhari 60 per cent. Remember it is just two years. • Rommy Mom (Human rights activist & President, Lawyers Alert)

To be candid, the administration has fared badly. Even in opposition, I try my best to be charitable to this government; I have been constructive in my criticism. Yes, the government has made some progress in the area of anti-corruption and in agriculture. But beyond this, there is nothing else you can honestly give serious credit to this government.

Without looking outside what the President and his party promised Nigerians before they were elected in 2015, let’s look at what they promised: instead of creating jobs for unemployed youths, jobs have been lost; companies are folding up. Yes they have decimated Boko Haram in the North-East, what about the kidnappings, daylight robberies and other violent crimes across Nigeria?

This is largely responsible for the growing suicide rates. Can you say because they have dealt with Boko Haram, our security is now better? The snail pace of this government has forced many things to remain at a standstill. We are still waiting for board members to be appointed for health and other bodies two years after. Is this what we voted for?

By Henry Umoru ABUJA—

THE Senate, yesterday, urged the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to urgently convert lower currency notes into coins to facilitate retail transactions in the country.
Senate chamber The upper chamber said it had become very imperative to make the use of coins compulsory because in developed countries as the United Kingdom, United States of America, USA; Japan, China, European Union, EU; and the entire United Arab Emirate, UAE, coins were used as means of exchange through cash transactions.

To make this very effective, the Senate has asked the CBN to sanction any commercial bank that refuses to collect coins from customers, even as it urged the apex bank to redesign the nation’s currency to cater for what it described as highly repetitive transactions of the country’s economy. It also asked the CBN to intensify its sensitization campaign and other efforts to bring back coins into circulation in the nation’s market.

The resolutions of the Senate were sequel to a motion by Senator Mustapha Bukar (APC, Katsina North), entitled Non-usage of coin currencies in Nigeria and its negative effects on the economy. In his presentation, Senator Mustapha Bukar said: “The Senate notes that according to the Central Bank of Nigeria, all currencies shall be legal tender in Nigeria at their face value and that Nigeria’s currency as at now comprises three coin denominations and eight note denominations, including 50kobo, N1 and N2, while the note denominations are N5, N10, N20, N100, N200, N500 and N1000.” He noted that in Nigeria, there were two types of retail payments, the highly repetitive small value transactions such as urban transportation, sweets, cigarettes, kolanuts, vegetables, sachet water etc, as well as less frequent but high value transactions, such as clothing, footwear, raw foodstuffs, electronics etc.

He said coin currencies globally were designed to cater for the highly repetitive transactions because of the nature and conditions under which they happen, such as crowded markets, bus stations, congested traffic and varying weather conditions, including rainy, sunny and humid. Bukar observed that countries regularly upgraded their coinage to keep pace with the prices of this category of retail items, adding that the Senate was aware of the overwhelming majority of Nigerians engaging in the highly repetitive small value transactions due to their income and locations.

He also expressed the Senate’s concern that though the nation’s currencies were in notes and coins, indications were that coins were fast going out of fashion and into extinction in Nigeria; Bukar said the Senate also regrets the fact that coins disappeared in Nigeria because the face value of the metal used in producing it was lower than its intrinsic value, as people would always take it to black/goldsmiths to turn it into jewelry and other ornaments.

The Cross River State Governor, Prof Ben Ayade, on Wednesday locked out top political appointees and civil servants at the Government House, Calabar, for resuming late.

Ayade was said to have got to the office before 7.30am and ordered that the gate be locked while he monitored activities at the gate with the CCTV device from his office.

His deputy, Prof. Ivara Esu, came in at about 8am and was allowed to enter, but it was not the same for the Secretary to the State Government, Tina Agbor, and other civil servants who were said to have been locked out for coming late.

As at 8am, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Ita, was among the few political appointees that had resumed for work.

Civil servants, security aides and other appointees were kept out by s security operatives in the governor’s convoy.

The gates were, however, opened by 9am with some members of staff were allowed to go in while those who came after then were turned back.

Ayade had, on assumption of office in June 2015, locked out workers who came after 8am, which is the official resumption time for civil servants.

*MARRIAGE SOFTWARE....*

I laughed after reading this, think I should share the humour.

A young husband wrote this to a Systems Analyst -
(Marriage Software Div);

Dear Systems Analyst,

I am desperate for some help! I recently upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected Child Processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources. This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure.

In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during systems initialization and then it monitors all other system activities.

Applications such as "Boys' Night out 2.5" and "Golf 5.3" no longer run, and crashes the system whenever selected.

Attempting to operate selected "Soccer 6.3" always fails and "Shopping 7.1" runs instead.

I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst attempting to run any of my favorite applications. Be it online or offline.
.
I am thinking of going back to "Girlfriend 7.0", but uninstall doesn't work on this program. Can you please help?

.... The Systems Analyst replied:

Dear Customer,
This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding of the functions of the Wife 1.0 program.

Many customers upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITY AND ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM.

Actually, Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its Creator to run everything on your current platform.
You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0, as Wife 1.0 was not designed to do this and it is impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the System once it is installed.

Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but have ended up with even more problems. (See Manual under Alimony/Child Support and Solicitors' Fees).

Having Wife 1.0 installed, I recommend you keep it Installed and deal with the difficulties as best as you can.

When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the.........
C:\ APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME.EXE Program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-Key for it will freeze the entire system.

It may be necessary to run C:\ APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME.EXE a number of times, and eventually hope that the operating system will return to normal.

Wife 1.0, although a very high maintenance programme, can be very rewarding.

To get the most out of it, consider buying additional Software such as "Flowers 2.0" and "Chocolates 5.0" or "HUGS\ KISSES 6.0" or "TENDERNESS\ UNDERSTANDING 10.0" or even Eating Out Without the Kids 7.2.1" (if Child processing has already started).

DO NOT under any circumstances install "Secretary 2.1" (Short Skirt Version) or "One Nightstand 3.2" (Any Mood Version), as this is not a supported Application for Wife 1.0 and the system will almost certainly CRASH.

BEST WISHES!

Yours,"
Systems Analyst.

Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has commended the infrastructural development in the education sector in Osun State by the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

The minister said this at the commencement of academic activities at the Ataoja Government High School, Osogbo.

Opening ceremonies for the commencement of academic activities also held simultaneously at Wole Soyinka Government High School, Ejigbo; Osogbo Government High School and Adventist Government High School in Ede.

Adamu, who was represented at the ceremony by Prof. Olayiwola Usman, held that the state would soon begin to reap the benefits of the seed being sowed by the present administration in the education sector.

He said, “I want to commend the governor of Osun State for his initiative of taking education seriously. Education must not just be seen as just educating a person just to be able to read and write but in building character.

“If we want to forestall what happened recently in Ile-Ife, we must continue to educate our people by making sure that we build more schools in an atmosphere that is conducive to learning.”

Speaking at the event, Aregbesola said that the schools being built would compete with any school from any part of the world. He stated that the high school was a three-in-one school with the capacity to accommodate 3,000 pupils.

“Each school has four principals with three superintending over 1,000 pupils each, and an overall senior principal. It is standard that each school has 72 classrooms of 49 square-meters, each capable of sitting 49 pupils.

“It has six offices for study groups. It is also equipped with six laboratories, 48 toilets for pupils and another eight for the teachers. There is one science library, one arts library, facility manager’s office, a bookshop and a sickbay.

“Other facilities are the senior principal’s office, three principals’ offices, a bursar’s office, three general staff offices, a record store and security shed/reception. They are all fully furnished. Each school has its own borehole and power transformer,” he added.

The Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi-Laoye Tomori, in her speech stated that the new principals would be entitled to official cars, ipads and other materials needed to make them effective.

She said, “These interventions in the education sector constitute huge capital expenditure to which Mr. Governor is fully committed come rain or shine, economic recession or depression notwithstanding. Mr. Governor considers no amount of money too much to invest in the lives and future of our children in Osun State.”

At the ceremony in Ejigbo, the Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Oba Oyeyode Oyesosin commended Aregbesola for being at the forefront of rewriting the history of education in the state through the building of state of the art schools.

He urged the pupils, teachers and the parents and other stakeholders in the education sector to support this renewed effort to take education to a higher level.

Chukwudi Akasike and John Charles

A war of words ensued between the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom, on Thursday, when both helmsmen accused each other of being culpable in the way they handled security in their respective states.

Specifically, Wike declared that Ortom was one of those who politicised insecurity in the country, which he said had degenerated to consume Benue State.

Wike maintained his call for the declaration of a state of emergency in Benue State, adding that Ortom had lost control and lacked the capacity to stand up for his people.

The governor made this remark on Thursday while addressing the members of the University of Port Harcourt Governing Council, who paid him a visit at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

Wike explained that Ortom was in the league of APC governors, who plotted a state of emergency against Rivers State when it (Rivers) had security challenges.

“Benue governor has lost control. That is why there is an immediate need to declare a state of emergency for the restoration of security and protection of the people.

“If you are from Benue State, I apologise. But when Rivers State had security challenges, Governor Ortom of Benue State was among the APC governors, who plotted the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

“When the problem of insecurity started here in Rivers State, instead of joining hands to proffer solutions, they politicised it.

“Unless all those at the forefront of the plot against the state repent, this insecurity will visit them one after the other,” the governor said.

He added that as a result of the politicisation of security by APC governors, insecurity had been exported to several parts of the country.

Wike urged the university’s management to remain apolitical, adding that the strained relationship between the Rivers State Government and the institution was as a result of his advice that it (UNIPORT) should not be involved in electoral malpractice during the legislative rerun elections.

He, nevertheless, said that the state would continue to support the university through the execution of projects.

In his remark, the Chancellor of the university and Emir of Gwandu, General Muhammadu Bashar, urged the governor to remain committed to the service of Rivers State and Nigeria.

He pleaded with the governor to forgive the university’s management.

The Pro-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Mvendaga Jibo, also appealed to Wike to continue to support the university materially.

Reacting to Wike’s call for the declaration of a state of emergency in Benue, Ortom described the call as reckless and jaundiced, adding that his counterpart in Rivers needed medical attention.

Ortom spoke in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Terve Akase.

He said, “Wike, who is expected to know the powers and limits of a state governor with regard to security matters, without any provocation whatsoever, attacked his counterpart, Governor Samuel Ortom, over his handling of the unfortunate security developments in Benue State.

“Wike’s jaundiced and reckless utterances demonstrate a gradual failure of his mental state as a result of probable demonic influence.”

Three siblings trading in beans on Adenekan Street, Alagbado, Lagos State, have been arrested by the police for allegedly selling “poisonous beans” to members of the public.

It was learnt that the traders – Faith Ogbona, Chidioke Ogbona and Sunday Ogbona – were arrested by policemen from the Alagbado division after being alerted by a woman, who caught Chidioke applying Sniper, an insecticide, on the beans.


While Chidioke and Sunday were picked up on Friday, their elder brother, who owned the shop, was nabbed on Sunday when he went to the station to secure their bail.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the shop had also been sealed off.

The police said 41-year-old Faith had wanted to influence his brothers’ release by allegedly offering the divisional police officer a N500,000 bribe, which the latter rejected.

The suspects, who hail from Ebonyi State, were paraded on Wednesday at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja with some bags of the “poisonous beans” and some bottles of Snipers recovered from the shop.

Eighteen-year-old Chidioke told our correspondent that he wanted to preserve the beans with the insecticide to prevent it from being infested with insects.

He said it was his first time of putting the substance in the foodstuffs, claiming that he deduced his “preservation method” from the use of Sniper to kill rodents.

Chidioke said, “I just saw it (Sniper) as something that kills insects and decided to use it to preserve the beans and kill the insects therein. I was applying the chemical for the first time when a woman approached me and warned that it was dangerous.

“A few minutes after, some policemen came to arrest me. My brother (Faith) was not around when I put the Sniper in the beans.”

Although the shop owner confessed that his suppliers in Maiduguri, Borno State, where he bought the goods, used some chemicals including Sniper and DD Force, to preserve beans, he said his brother carried out the act without his consent.

Faith, who said he started the business four years ago, also denied offering the bribe to the DPO.

He said, “I wasn’t around when my brother was caught putting Sniper in the beans. I was called on the telephone and I quickly returned to Lagos from Ibadan (Oyo State), where I had gone for a function. Sunday came to my shop when he learnt some policemen were there and he was also arrested.

“Chidioke just came back from our village. He had never seen me put Sniper in beans. In Maiduguri, if my suppliers wanted to preserve beans, they put DD Force or Sniper in water and spray it on the beans. It will be stored for about three or six months, depending on the quantity of chemicals applied.

“I have never mixed beans with chemicals, but I have been buying the one with chemicals from Maiduguri. If it is stored for a long time, it is not dangerous for human consumption.”

However, Sunday said he just alighted from a motorcycle when the police arrested him.

“I don’t preserve my beans with Sniper. I normally buy the quantity I can sell before insects infest it,” he added.

The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the suspects would be charged to court after investigation.

“The excuse the owner of the shop gave was that he was mixing pesticide with beans and that he had been selling it like that. He approached the DPO, thinking he could easily settle the case and get the two other suspects released. He offered her N500,000, but she rejected it,” the CP added.
