Politics › Boko Haram: Buhari To Meet French President Francois Hollande On Monday by zinachidi(op): 12:31am On Sep 12, 2015
Determined to curtail Boko Haram insurgency,
President Muhammdu Buhari will on Monday
begin a state visit to France to hold talks with
President Francois Hollande. He will also explore opportunities of more
collaboration with Niger, Chad and Cameroon,
which are assisting the nation in the war against
insurgency. The President was quoted as saying “it is more
cost effective politically and economically to be
at peace with your neighbours. This is
something I learnt from the army.”

According to a pre-visit review by the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the visit was in
response to President Hollande’s invitation to
President Buhari. He said Hollande had extended olive branch to
Buhari shortly after his election in March. The agenda of the three-day bilateral talks will
include:

1. Security in the Nigeria and the Lake Chad
basin area.

2. Boko Haram insurgency

3. Review of ‘Wish List’

4. To prevail on President Hollande and allies in
G7 to keep their promise to assist Nigeria

5. Access to military hardware, reconstruction
of damaged infrastructure

6. Economy and the war against corruption

He said: “One, he (Hollande) offered the
friendship and partnership of France in
President Buhari’s plan to rid Nigeria of
terrorism and rebuild the country economically. “His pronouncement that relations between our
two countries are “strategic” has equally excited
the Nigerian foreign policy establishment. It
points to Nigeria’s opportunity. “The second thing President Hollande said to
our then President-elect was, “come to France
and let us host to you to a bilateral discussion.”

From here, Hollande, Germany’s Angela Merkel,
Britain’s David Cameron and Obama encouraged
President Buhari to, on getting into office put
together a “wish list” of his government and
country and table it at the “G7” meeting in
Germany early in June, with a promise to come to the aid of our country. Shehu gave elaborate details on why the visit
was important to the war against Boko Haram
insurgency. He added: “Lastly and more importantly is the
issue of security in the country and the Lake
Chad basin area.

“Since his assumption of office, President Buhari
has squared up to the threat of Boko Haram
terrorism with a single-minded determination.
Without waiting for the envisaged foreign
support and assistance, Boko Haram is near
resolution. “If they were correctly reported in their press
conference a few days ago, the military has
indeed declared victory in the war. But the
world still needs to come together to help this
country manage its fallout. “In this regard, President Hollande needs to
make his friends and allies in the G7 to sharpen
their response and keep their promise of
assistance for which President Buhari was
requested to present a wish list.

“So far, there is evidence of that support in the
areas of training and the sharing of intelligence.
But beyond these, it is hard to say that we are
getting commensurate responses to the high
hopes that we harboured in dealing with the
war and reconstruction. “Such promises, especially as regards access to
military hardware and the reconstruction of
damaged infrastructure, donated or paid for
should be pursued so that the victory over
terror in our region is not a temporary one but
one that will usher in permanent peace, tranquility and wealth for our beleaguered
populations and the part of the continent they
occupy.” On the economy, Shehu said the meeting will
also focus on it since France investment in
Nigeria is the largest in Africa. He said: “It is equally fundamental that France’s
investment on the African continent is the
largest in Nigeria. And it is still growing. French
interests here are strongly represented by such
companies as Total, ELF, LaFarge, Societe-
Generale, SCOA and so on.

“The best outcome for Nigeria during this visit
should reflect favourably on key priorities of the
Buhari administration, which are security,
economy and the war against corruption. “An added one would be the strengthening of
cultural cooperation. That should hopefully be
beneficial to both states. “We as a country are in the midst of our French-
speaking siblings in Niger, Chad, Cameroon and
Benin bordering this country to the North, East
and West. The attitude of our authorities to this
ground reality has not been very good so far.”

Politics › “why I Appointed More Northerners” – Buhari Finally Opens Up by zinachidi(op): 9:48am On Sep 09, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his
silence on his appointments, which many
Nigerians have described as “lopsided”. Buhari in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday
said the Constitution allowed him full control over
the choice of his closest officials.

The president assured that he was not ignoring
some section of his society in his appointments,
explaining that those he appointed were some of
his most trusted associates. Responding to the interviewer’s question on the
controversy generated by the appointments,
Buhari said “This is the nature of Nigerian politics”. “If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian
president, let them look at the Constitution a
Nigerian president works with, there are people
who will closely work with me that don’t need to
be taken to the Senate. “If I select people whom I know quite well in my
political party, whom we came all the way right
from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained
together in good or bad situation, the people I
have confidence in and I can trust them with any
post, will that amount to anything wrong?

“I have been with them throughout our trying
times, what then is the reward of such dedication
and suffering? “They did not defect because of positions, they did
not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal
gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our
trying moments. “What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the
federal government) because I have confidence
that things will go normal?” On the abducted Chibok girls missing since April
2014, Buhari said the Boko Haram sect had “have
scattered them, and are being guarded at
dispersed locations.

“Most of the girls are Christians and were forced to
embrace Islam. And the sect’s cruel leaders have
married some of the girls, obviously against their
wish. Others have been left to practice their religion
but their condition could hardly be ascertained. “Both ground and air security personnel in the
Sambisa forest could spot where the girls are, but
since the insurgents have also kidnapped
housewives and other women, no one could say
whether they mixed them or how they dispersed
them.” .

Sports › Blessing Okagbare Banned From Rio Olympics by zinachidi(op): 11:43pm On Sep 08, 2015
By Ben Efe, Brazzaville, Congo

Following her decision to skip the 2015 All Africa Games, the National Sports Commission and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria have placed a ban on sprinter, Blessing Okagbare; excluding her from representing the country, at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.


Okagbare, had a dismal outing at the IAAF World championships in Beijing, China. She claimed that injury forced her out of the competition, where Nigerians expected her to win a medal having run the third fastest time of the season in the 100m.
After the Beijing meet, Okagbare told officials of the AFN not to expect her in Congo. But amazingly, she showed up in Zurich, full of life and energy. She ran 10.98 seconds in the Diamond League, much to the chagrin of athletics officials who gave her the benefit of the doubt because of her purported injury.

The NSC and the AFN examined the circumstances bordering her decision to dock the AAG, and came to the conclusion to deny the athlete any chance of appearing in next year’s Olympics.

Crime › Cross River Legalises Death Penalty For Kidnappers by zinachidi(op): 8:16am On Sep 08, 2015
Makes housing a right to citizens

Cross River State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, monday signed into law a bill that prescribes death penalty for convicted kidnappers in the state.
The anti-kidnapping bill was one of 10 bills the governor signed into law at the state Executive Chambers witnessed by the Speaker and members of the state House of Assembly, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Ntufam John Okon and the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Tina Agbor and permanent secretaries.

The law also empowers the state to seize assets as well as freeze accounts belong to convicted kidnappers and those who aid and abet kidnapping in the state.

Speaking on another bill he had just signed into law, the Social Housing Law, which makes housing for the vulnerable a right, he described the law as holding emotional significance to him.

“The most emotional bill to me is the Social Housing Law which seeks to provide housing for the poorest of the poor in the state.

Various researches have linked corruption in civil service to housing. It has also been proven that given the salaries of average civil servants, if they don’t originate memos that give them extra money, if they don’t comprise, they is no civil servant in Nigeria that will be able to build a house. So by virtue of our salary structure, you have already created a catalyst for corruption to thrive.

“By this bill, housing in Cross River State is now a right to the citizenry, it may not be justiciable at this point in time but we have created a legal stimulus to drive the structure that we can achieve housing for everybody, and in the process, stamp out all mud and thatch houses in Cross River State.”
As a measure aimed at generating revenue for the state from its abundant water resources despite being pronounced a non-littoral state by the Supreme Court following the loss of Bakassi Peninsula, the governor signed the Water Landing and Fee Charges bill into law.

“When the Supreme Court ruling said that Cross River State is hemmed in, and by implication we ceased to be a littoral state, we are today demonstrating with a simple law that that ruling was wrong because the implication of that ruling is that whatever waterways that exist within the confines of the state is internal and therefore cannot be covered under the Inland Waterways of Nigeria. So we have the right to regulate it.
“We are going to place a maximum figure on any vessel coming into Cross River waterways. So when it becomes an affront to the federal government they will revisit the ruling.”

Other laws signed by the governor include: Infrastructure Safety and Regulatory Law, Water Front Management and Development Law, Corporate Social Responsibility Agency Law and Tax Exemption Law for low income earners.
Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon John Gaul Lebo, who described the legislature as the incubator of leadership said the bills were thought of to help the government better the lot of Cross Riverians.

He said it was quite impressive that in just three months the House is able to turn in10 bills adding that the development was an indication that the vision of the governor is so clear that the assembly was able to translate it into laws.

He promised the collaboration of the legislature with the executive to ensure that the PDP- led government in the state succeeds.

Nairaland General › Teenage Boy Burnt To Death In Lekki by zinachidi(op): 5:40pm On Sep 07, 2015
dailypost.ng/2015/09/07/teenage-boy-burnt-to-death-in-lekki/


A 16-year-old teenager, identified as Timehin
Jinadu, was Monday morning, reportedly burnt to
death when a duplex of four bedrooms at the
Lekki area of Lagos, caught fire. P.M News reports that the fire started at about 2am
on Monday in a duplex at 35C, Ajiran Road,
Agungi area of Lekki. The boy’s family was said to
be asleep when the fire began. Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe said
the fire service station was called around 2am and
that it responded promptly to the call and
succeeded in rescuing three people from the
duplex of four bedrooms.

“The body of a 16-year old Timehin was
discovered at the bathroom roasted. It might be
that the boy ran to the bathroom to escape from
the fire but had nowhere to go to after that,”
Fadipe confirmed. Fadipe divulged that the fire was caused by power
surge after light was restored in the night to the
area. The Director also added that the father of the boy
and two other children inhaled smoke which made
them unconscious and had to be rushed to the
hospital.
