n a bid to avoid usurping the function of the police, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), has reportedly demanded police investigation of alleged defrauding of prospective land purchases of over N100million by a real estate company believed to be owned by one Mr. Sky Wilson Okoli, who is allegedly on the run. Trouble started for the proprietor of the company when he deceived prospective land purchasers to believe that he has over 1000 plots of land for sale and on collecting money ranging from N750,000 to N1.5million, depending on the size and location of the land, he reportedly disappeared and could not be traced. In frustration, the prospective land purchasers met with the original owners, Nkwelle-Ezunaka community, who told them that the land that Okoli promised to sell to them was non-existent, adding that he has also defrauded the community which prompted search party that is currently looking for him. As a last resort, the prospective purchasers including Mr. Godwin Okechukwu Edeh, Mrs. Jacinta Ogudike D. and others petitioned the EFCC through a human rights organization - Centre for Human Rights and Advocacy, (CHRPA) headed by

Comrade Onyegiri Peter E. demanding that he be declared wanted as he had ceased to reo in Onitsha G.R.A. Consequently, the EFCC reportedly sent the petition to the police demandind inves CHRPA copied the said petition to Governor Willie Obiano, Commissioner of Police, Mr. Usman Gwari, Director of Security Service, DSS, President General of NkwelleEzunaka, Elder Chris Eluemuno and the ‘33’ Divisional Police Of In a swift reaction, the former secretary of CHRPA, Mr. Godwin Edeh and a stakeholder, Mr. Damian Ogudike, urged the police to declare the runaway Okoli wanted, hinting that he sometimes sneaks into the town, continues with his illegal land deal and gets out without anybody knowing. According to Edeh, “the EFCC and Police should have mercy on us by ensuring that he is arrested and it will only be possible if he is declared wanted since where about failed. “He is evil to have collected money from us in the name of land allocation to us when he knows that he has no land to sell to us and that he is being hunted by the community. He must give us back our money if he likes let him run to the moon,� he posited.

Leaven of the Pharisees By Olusola Balogun

“B

eware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy...’’ was a timely warning from Jesus Christ to his disciples. He didn’t leave his disciples in the dark over why he handed out the caution. Luke 11 vs 39--44 elucidated the reason for the caution. He told them that the Pharisees are hypocrites who love to prescribe tough conditions they themselves can never meet. Jesus alerted his disciples that the Pharisees of ancient Rome will want them to carry heavy burden they themselves wouldn’t touch with a } that the Pharisees love showmanship and eye-service; and tries to be holierthan-thou whereas they are thoroughly evil.

ransportation is an arm of trade and commerce, while air transportation is one of the means of movement aside land/road and rail. Air transport is considered the safest and quickest means of transportation. Despite the advantages of this form of transportation, it is not without its impediments, especially in a developing country like Nigeria, where this form of transportation has almost become a nightmare for its patrons. Series of plane mishaps almost plunged the country into pandemonium, leading to a drop in patronage, which led the Federal Government to evolve lots of policies and changes in the administration of the sector. According to an aviation analyst, Mr Godday Odidi, the aviation industry has witnessed loss of lives and property worth billions of naira. The mishaps, according to him, have turned the means of air transportation to X! " " $ #

the economy negatively over the years and almost jeopardized the MoUs signed by Nigeria with other countries. He said no Nigerian airlines are using 2012 modern aircraft, adding that they use antiquated ones imported into Nigeria, which has become a dumping ground for all sorts of outdated aircraft. Mr Odidi believes that air transportation risks can be minimized if airline operators employed capable hands and purchased modern aircraft instead of discarded old ones. To some watchers, according to him, it $ # in the air transport sector due to our neglect of God, which has made God to be angry with our political leaders, who have turned the country to a shadow of itself with dirty politicking despite being the giant of Africa and 6th largest oil producer, and most populous black nation in the world.

He said the National Transport Policy must indicate the need for measures to bring co-ordination and rationality in the transport network, wondering why the Nigeria Airways was declared bankrupt and replaced with a private cum public airliner, while other African countries such as Cameroun and Ghana still have their national carriers. The demise of the Nigeria Airways is a clear indication of lack of coherent policy, which paved the way for the death of the national carrier. Furthermore, if there is a coherent policy, major airports in the country should have been expanded and modernised before now, as many of the airports were built in the 1970s with old architectural designs.

between the needs of the society and the economy for adequate air transport facilities, and the ability of the sector to meet such demands. Also, management of the air transport corporations have been very poor. This explains the management agreements between the Nigeria Airways and the Royal Dutch Airlines in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1999, bad management led to a crisis in the Nigerian Civil Aviation ! # ! Nigeria Airways being declared bankrupt in 2004.

" problems and challenges dogging the commercial air transportation in Nigeria, stakeholders recently held a one-day seminar in Lagos. Contributing to the discussion in a paper titled “The Role of Oil and Gas Services Support to Air Operators in Enhancing Safety in the Nigerian Aviation Sector�, Managing Director of Bristow Helicopters, Capt. Akin Oni, pointed out that for safety to be imbibed and maintained in the aviation industry, it must be driven by the " / $ € # in the aviation sector could be linked to accusations and counter accusations by industry players about crisis in the sector. Capt. Oni noted that the solution to promoting safety in the sector lies in granting total autonomy to the NCAA, adding that the barrage of criticisms the regulatory body have been receiving was undeserving. On his part, Managing Director of MedView Airlines, Muneer Bankole, agreed with other stakeholders that every chief / $

should be drivers of safety, he also $ " safety, which, according to him, include culture, organisational practices and habit. The Med-View boss, who presented a paper titled, “Aviation Safety: An Operator’s Perspective� stated that the ‚ ? $ other stakeholders have roles to play in aviation safety, as failure on one part of the concentric circle impacts negatively on others. Airlines, he said, must be prepared to invest in safety by training and re-training its personnel to maintain self-assessment and compliance with all known regulations and industry practices. “My conclusion is that safety is everybody’s business. We may have our own areas of specialty or responsibility, but we must be in seamless tandem with established best practices. The absence of accident is not a conclusive evidence of safety. A systematic continuous safety risk ! all stakeholders’ everyday operations with the ultimate responsibility resting with the upper management,� he said. In his presentation titled “Nigeria <$ ‹ % ˆ % V $ ‚ # Š [ " 6/ $ " \ # X West Africa, Gbenga Olowo, examined three key components, namely: airlines, airports and the role of government. Olowo stated that the lack of will by airlines, airports and government to move forward has stagnated the growth and development of the industry, especially the domestic airlines. He said for Nigeria to have safe and !

! airlines, operators themselves must be ready to collaborate, consolidate, cooperate and merge with other airlines. He believes that for Nigerian airlines to survive and be safe for air travellers, they must be on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) register, which means that airlines must pass the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), must invest in technology through global distribution, and should have membership of IATA, African Airlines Association @<‚…<<L $ / ! ! from such organs. He urged airlines to place higher premium on training and manpower development with emphasis on personnel in commercial units. According to him, three airlines are enough for the Nigeria air transport business if only the existing airlines collaborate in using the interline model to consolidate their operations. He urged government to focus on development policy, which should consider options ranging from full ownership, public private partnership, outright sale or franchise, adding that if there would be growth in capacity with seamless passenger and cargo processing, the airport authority needs to enhance competiveness. He also advocated deliberate investment in manpower development, cost reduction for airlines, among others, including autonomy for the Civil Aviation Authority as well as establishment of transport and infrastructure ministry in place of the current Ministry of Aviation. Some aviation industry experts that worked with the defunct Nigeria Airways Limited (NAL), which was at a time the best airline in Africa, Captain Dele Ore, a successful pilot and former director of – " " carrier, and Dr Steve Mahonwu, who was director of personnel administration, also spoke on the challenges of commercial air transportation in Nigeria. Why do Nigeria airlines have short lifespan? Dr Mahonwu and Capt Dele " ‹

Another factor is the fact that facilities provided at the nation’s International Airports are overstretched. Facilities such as seats, air-conditioning system, conveyor belt, toilet facilities, among others are decaying, this arises as they are not upgraded based on the increase in human

$ mismanagement of the airlines. “There are three reasons responsible for this problem. The foreign manpower employed by airlines who are paid in foreign currency, the high cost of fuel, and the maintenance cost are enough # < added to poor management. There is X X God, now there is a very strict regulatory regime that doesn’t allow them to cut corners any more.� Mahonwu noted that in the past Nigeria Airways was so well set up to the extent that there was a measure of self-regulation because now “we would not wait for the regulatory authority to breath down our neck before we comply. That is not the case these days, once there is anything that ' ! ! # # ! to spend it, and that is looking for trouble. These days if you have one or two aircraft you call yourself an airline, how will you cover your routes; is it just one route you want to cover?� Mahonwu continues:. “Many airlines come and go. The reasons are economical due to reckless

questions. There is the issue of poor ÂĄ

That is part of what killed the airline. Because when you start an engine, you are % " wants the engine to be on. And you could be waiting for somebody with a lot of ! X _ # ! # ! down. Another factor is that they go to their villages to bring their brothers and sisters to run the aviation sector; that is like

' airline,� he said. Recently, the sector has been inundated with reports airlines’ failure to pay charges to aviation agencies, including debts to oil marketers and ground handling companies. Ore, who is also president of Aviation Round Table (ART), noted that this was an unhealthy development and described it as a premonition to the retrogression of air transportation in the country. “Some airlines’ operations have become ! ! _" ! ƒ ! – " ! #

be jeopardized because you will have people who are not motivated controlling the aircraft. And that is very dangerous. So, why can’t they pay, simply because of reckless spending? They would rather spend money on things not related to aviation than prioritize debts and how % X " # jeopardize the industry if chief executives who control the resources do not have full commitment to safety.� Ore said the withdrawal of subvention from the agencies led to decay of infrastructure at the airports because it is a tall challenge for these agencies to generate enough revenue to sustain development of the airports. “That is why infrastructures decay, because the agencies cannot maintain them with their meager earnings. The revenue only helps to pay salaries and if the people you are serving are refusing to pay, where do you go from there?�

Addressing journalists recently in Lagos, the Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria, said they had kicked against the new guidelines, arguing that the development would lead to the closure of their businesses which in turn would result in loss of jobs. The association said many of their members would struggle to meet the new requirements, adding that the increase in capital base of BDCs and caution payments would not resolve the problem the apex bank is trying to solve. However, a source in CBN who spoke to Saturday Newswatch, said that there was no going back on the decision of the apex bank to withdraw the license of any BDC which failed to meet the requirements. According to the source, about 350 operators $ # ! $ # ' V ! BDCs however, will not be able to meet the requirements before the July 31 date. His view is shared by many operators who see the new requirements as a ploy by the apex bank to send many of the operators out of businesses, adding that the two months period given to them to meet the deadline was grossly inadequate. A member of the association said, “CBN has set the new guidelines, and the period with which BDC operators are to meet the requirements.

He stressed that the amount CBN sells to members on a monthly basis was negligible, compared to the amount the country claims to spend from its foreign reserves. Gwadabe noted that new policy guidelines have the potential to send most BDCs out of business, thereby destabilising the country’s foreign market. He posited that rather than introduce policies would ultimately lead to a revocation of some of the local BDCs licenses, the apex bank should categorise the BDCs as the banking sector did some years ago.

Politics Why PDP should scrap zoning –Okopido Dr. Ime Okopido is the pioneer Minister of Environment under former President Olusegun Obasanjo. He is also one of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who claims to have single-handedly brought the party to Akwa Ibom State in 1998. In this interview with BASSEY ANTHONY, he speaks on a number of issues bordering on the 2015 general elections. He said he owes nobody any apology for supporting the governorship ambition of the former Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Umana Okon Umana. The PDP chieftain describes zoning as an old-fashioned policy which should be jettisoned in the nation’s politics, adding that zoning should not determine the next governor of his State.

W

hat is your impression of the unfolding political developments in the State ahead of the 2015 general elections? I live basically in Abuja since I got in there in 1999 as the pioneer Minister of Environment. But somehow, because of the problems that have bedevilled the nation since the past few years, my family has relocated here (Akwa Ibom State). That is why you see me more here. So I cannot really say much about the preparation for next year’s election. However, what I can say is that in every election year, there are usually lots of killings. If I recollect properly; in 2011, there were lots and lots of killings, and all that in the State. This year again, for months now, we have seen that coming up again, and that is my source of worry. Why is it that in every election year such ills rear their ugly heads? We have noticed that such security problems have come to be with us. Before some of them came into the scene, what we are witnessing today had never been the culture of

this place (Akwa Ibom State). If I can still remember, some of us have been in the game right from the days of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN). It is a strange thing; it is abnormal and has never been our culture because the sanctity of life is supposed to < # people say, Akwa Abasi Ibom State, we are talking about Akwa Abasi Ibom, a God that made people in his own image; he did not expect us to be slaughtering people, threatening them or assassinating them or even abducting them. We call ourselves people of Akwa Abasi Ibom State, but we are doing something things that are contradictory. From all indications, Governor Godswill Akpabio believes in zoning and as such, he is bent on ensuring that the next governor comes from Eket Senatorial District. Do you think zoning is in line with democratic ideals and principles? I spoke on this issue on Democracy

Day on the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN)’s Atlantic FM. I want to quickly say that I brought this party to this state single-handedly in 1998 and from that point of view can make some statements on issues of zoning. We have a constitution for the country and we have all been told that any law that is not in consonance with the constitution of any country is not a law. And I think the constitution of Nigeria guarantees freedom of association, participation, thoughts; even at the United Nations where Nigeria is a member, you have that freedom; nobody is to be caged. Government is to be built on human kind and to that extent you cannot impose, because these are issues of apartheid that people say should not be in the law. So, if the party, due to some circumstances made a mistake by recommending zoning in 1999, then you will realise that it would not be proper for you to talk about zoning in most cases. We are trying to develop, and we are growing. So, you cannot limit the best that you can bring out to rule, and that is it. Where I live, the next compound belongs to late Ebong Okon. His wife is living there, and behind me, is Mfon Amana’s home, and here I am. In 1998, under the United Nigeria Peoples Party (UNPP), I was the gubernatorial aspirant; Okon was looking for the same thing. Amana was also looking for the same thing; and the three of us are living on the same street. Even though I did not really live in this house then, we were able to relate here without any fear whatsoever. It was an issue of selling your best, who had the best manifesto and what you want to do for Akwa Ibom. It was not to be zoned. What I am saying is that the issue of zoning is not what we should call for because in most cases, you would produce a mediocre that will " <X# Ibom State. So, to me, leave it free to the people. Why are we afraid? People are here; let them come out and rule. When the present governor contested, there were more than 58 people who contested along with him.

mentioned that the slot goes to Ikot Ekpene Senatorial district. Do you think that zoning is an initiative of Governor Akpabio or has it always been there? That is what I am telling you. We learn every day, and even when you are talking about that, that very year, over 58 people contested for that seat with him and he still came out the winner. And we can see the things he has left on ground in terms of infrastructure in Uyo. I am not talking about Ika where we have not " $ we have seen roads being constructed even though we don’t know their cost. Nobody has told us the cost of the infrastructure he has put up. That leads to the challenge the Minister of Finance threw to us in the state - that the state got from the Federal Government N260 billion. She went on to say that whatever infrastructure we see here is less than or about one-third of the total money we collected last year from the Federal Government alone. She did not even mention the internally generated revenue or other revenues that accrued to the state. So, what I am trying to say is that we are learning. If we go to the streets of Uyo, you will see that poverty is really on the faces of the people. Most of the road construction done here is handled by multinational companies like Julius Berger, Setraco and the rest. They are the ones who get money from the government. How many of these projects have you seen ever being advertised for others to compete when you talk about due process? If the serving minister can push that kind of challenge to us, is it not food for thought? She mentioned just one year. When you hear what Governor Rochas Okorocha said recently - that this state has gathered in the space of four years more than N800 billion and that if he had that kind of money, what we would have seen in his state would have been overwhelming.

What is your assessment of them? % " " instance, I was a board member of Akwa Rubber in the days of Bako, when he was the military administrator, and the member from government on the board was Mr. Umana O.

For some of us, education gives an impression of the mind, and so for somebody to have _ # X # him on the board of Akwa Rubber, and when I became the chairman of the task force for the privatisation of Akwa Rubber, he was still representing the government on that board. When I became the minister I wanted to bring him to the Federal Government so that he could become a permanent secretary because we got in there in 1999 and discovered that Akwa Ibom people had ' _ ƒ X now we have anybody up to the post of a deputy director. So, my interest was to bring an end to that. I reasoned that # permanent secretary, over there, within a short time, he (Umana) would rise to the rank of a director, and within one or two years since 1999, he would have become a permanent secretary. I saw his workings; I saw his economic – # # # # X Akwa Rubber. Call me anytime, I will preach about him. He has served as a permanent ! " ! " < & $ the secretary to the state government. Well, which other person do you want to mention? I heard that my younger brother, the former deputy governor of the state, Nsima Ekere wants to contest. Whoever comes here, we put in some questions to him – like, do you know what we mean by governance? Because the humanity that is supposed to be developed, I have not yet seen it being developed. Get down to the streets and you will see that people are still very poor; they have nothing to eat. If you want to calculate at the World Bank level of one or two dollars per day, we simply ƒ $ are worse. But Akpabio said he is investing in infrastructure and free and compulsory education so that wealth would be created in the long run. ‚ ? ƒ X † $ Education is an act of the Federal Government it is the right of every citizen under the UN chapter that we should all go to school. So it is not an issue that anybody would think that he has done what Napoleon could not do. Go to the primary school in your place to see the structures that are either renovated or reconstructed. Look at the windows. I went to pick up my permanent voters card; I stepped down to the schools and found out that these structures are nothing to write home about. The contracts were awarded from a suitcase and no competition. The contracts were awarded to the

Okopido faces that please them. And even when you are awarded the contract they would probably be the ones to supply you the cement. One family is in control. They would give you the zinc and even the wood to do the work. Is that how to empower people.

That is why we are saying that the next government that is coming under Umana will discuss green economy. Many people have complained about the quality of leadership we have at all levels. What do you think can be done to improve leadership quality? What do we do to improve the quality of leadership and what do we do to improve the quality of followership? It is reading.

out that most of those that come to lead us do not even know the boundary of the state. For those of us who are from Ika, we are really left behind because the border of that area has been so neglected.

I sat down to write memos to draw his " but he is not even bothered about the plight of the people of Ika.

Jail corrupt administrators, Obaseki urges FG Victor Enyinnaya

F

ormer Chairman of Nigeria Football League (NFL), Chief Oyuki Obaseki, has urged Federal Government to probe corrupt sports

administrators and sanction any one caught in gross misappropriation of billions of naira entrusted in their care for the development of football in the country. The former second Vice President of NFF advocated that the house cleansing must start from the State Associations, a group of people he described as the

Obaseki

engine room for corrupt practises that breeds in the national federation. According to him, they are gangsters whose activities are detrimental to the development of the game. They have been the clog on the wheel of progress but all eyes are on the NFF.’ ‘ The State Associations are worst culprits that share heavy ‘booty’ from the proceeds from the executive # avoid impeachment from States FAs, He said. The veteran further dubbed administrators as not being sincere and honest to the game stressing ! " – seasoned people that have passion and interest of the sport to mount the saddle in place of the charlatans that have held our football hostage of late. Obaseki accused some

" / $ members as being too conscious for money observing that most of them running around talking on drop of hat are not honest, they donĂ­t have means of

livelihood hence they can stop at nothing to tell blunt lies against people in order to be in good books of their masters. We have continued to play ourselves into the hands of FIFA after each World Cup year. It is a shame. Both government and administrators are not honest. While the administrators set their eyes on how to embezzle the huge funds in the confers of the federation, the government on the other hand leaves lope- holds that traps them. Let me point out that the greatest undoing of the present board is surrounding itself with some bad eggs that not only harass and extort money from in the name of building image for the board but took delight in creating enemies also, he pointed. The Benin High Chief described Maigari as a ‘luck head’ who incidentally surrounded him with deadly noise makers that creates more enemy than friends, thereby rubbishing < NFF job is a part time

Nigerian. Iheanacho, 17, wrapped an impressive appearance by scoring the last of CityĂ­s goals in a 4-1 win at Sporting Park and Pellegrini is convinced he has a bright future in the game. City beat a host of European clubs to sign Iheanacho after he scored six goals in seven games to

He said: ĂŹKelechi is just 17 years old and heĂ­s a very important player for us in the future. He demonstrated today what he can do in the future. It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I think heĂ­s a good talent. WeĂ­ve not decided yet (what the plan is for him) because itĂ­s not easy. HeĂ­s just 17 and sometimes thatĂ­s the problem. WeĂ­ll see what he will do in the future. For the moment he will stay with us and weĂ­ll see when we return to England what will happen with him.

Special Report

Nigeria as major drug-producing, transit country Continued from page 84

Only one in six drug users around the world receive the drug dependence treatment they need. “Another important aspect the report highlighted is the fact that there are 12.7 million individuals who inject drugs, and of this number some 1.7 million are living with HIV; 52 per cent of those injecting drugs $ [ % " " to evidence-based prevention, treatment and care services. More ! " drug use disorders need to be accorded the same treatment and ! " ! disease.� Sissoko said they are partnering with NAFDAC and NDLEA in holding this presentation of the report, given the important role these two national institutions ! Nigeria. According to her, both reports provide useful information on the state of drug control worldwide, and highlight the major trends observed this past year on drug X “When we launched the world drug report in June, the UNODC executive director emphasized the tremendous damage illicit drugs cause to individuals and communities and the damages organized crime causes to “stability, peace, rule of law and human rights. In the words of Mr. ‚ $‹ ‰ X ordinary crime: it has the reach, fuelled by billions of dollars and terrible violence, to erode societies and sabotage development.� Sissoko, however, stated that UNODC in Nigeria is engaged with the Federal Ministry of Health and key national # from the European Union, to increase the service provision for drug addiction treatment. “We have conducted a nationwide assessment to identify some 11 national and private medical facilities that have the potential to become model drug treatment centres, and also to double for some of them as regional training hubs for those health practitioners engaged in the treatment of drug addiction. “Turning to the INCB report launched in March 2014, I would like to recall that the INCB is an independent and quasi-judiciary entity established to monitor the implementation of the international drug control treaties. “The functions of INCB are stated in the three international drug control treaties that form the basis of the international drug control system. These functions include ensuring there is adequate supply of drugs " and that the diversion of these drugs from illicit sources to illicit channels does not occur; and also identifying weakness in national and international control systems, and contribute to correct these weaknesses. “The INCB report this year places a special focus on the economic consequences of drug abuse, and urges institutions and governments to put in place

> $ $ and treatment programmes. The INCB report also raises the alarm on initiatives aimed at legalizing the use of cannabis, while calling on countries considering this – > term health and welfare of their populations.� Similarly, at the occasion, Chief Executive, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mr. Ahmadu Giade, said drug X represent one of the biggest security challenges confronting human beings today. According to him, the situation is so frightening that an urgent intervention is needed for a guaranteed global peace and development. Drugs are a catalyst for crime. Most criminal acts are – " drugs. “Globally, an estimated 200,000 people die yearly due to drug abuse. Most of these preventable deaths occur among the youths. It is important to know also that those who die of drug abuse also cut across age, sex, religion and social status,� he said. Giade, however, recalled that when the NDLEA commenced operation in 1990, total annual seizure was only 1,142.45kg. Cannabis was 170.6kg, cocaine 110.6kg and heroin 861.25kg. The situation today has changed drastically. In 2013, total drug seizure was 339.968kg while investigated drug suspects stood at 8,843 comprising 8,324 males and 519 females. “Illicit drugs seized in 2013 weighed 339,968kg with an estimated street value of N34 billion. The breakdown is as follows: cannabis 205,373kg, psychotropic substances 133,920kg, methamphetamine 340.8kg and cocaine 290.2kg. Others are heroin 24.53kg, amphetamine 19.297kg and ephedrine 0.28 grams,� he said. Supply suppression aims at reducing the availability of illicit and controlled drugs through various interdiction activities and legal processes. Here, the drug problem is seen as a criminal

Demand reduction programmes, on the other hand, focus on bringing about a decline in the consumption of these # $ treatment, aftercare, rehabilitation and social reintegration of drug dependent persons. This aspect of the drug problem is addressed as a health issue and is not to be criminalised. He added that this scope of research and consultation keep increasing every year. “I charge them not to be discouraged in their quest for accuracy. They should strive to break more barriers in enriching the contents of the reports. Nigeria will continue to render necessary assistance to your team of researchers.� Giade appealed to every family to study these invaluable reports. “I gladly recommend them to $

research centres, political and religious leaders as well as the general public.� Also speaking on the occasion, Director General of NAFDAC,

Dr. Paul Orhii, restated the commitment of his agency to partner with UNODC and NDLEA in addressing the issues

" X and use in Nigeria. He added that presentation will further strengthen regulatory authorities towards shared $ implementation of the existing conventions on narcotics and psychotropic substances across the globe. The NDLEA was aimed at exterminating illicit drug X in the Nigerian society. It is a well-known fact that any involvement in drugs, especially importation, exportation, sale, transfer, purchase, cultivation, manufacture, extraction and possession is universally unacceptable. The establishment of the NDLEA was Nigeria’s = " # of this cankerworm within her borders It will also enhance the principle of shared responsibility among drug regulatory authorities, and between countries, in tackling the menace of drug abuse, misuse, X $ According to him, it will provide opportunity for relevant stakeholders to acquaint themselves with updated lists of substances under international

control; reveal the socio-economic implications of drug abuse and misuse; display a clear understanding of the functions of the international drug control system; further promote the use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances for medical and !& ! to governments across the globe and the United Nations agencies toward strengthening collaborations in curbing the menace of drug abuse. He further stated that the UNODC through the INCB, which was established in 1968, $ ! $ " implementation of the single convention on narcotic drugs of 1961, the convention on psychotropic substances of 1971 and the United Nations $ Narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances of 1988. Orhii said this has resulted in $ " and psychotropic substances in many countries of the world and also ensured that the availability of these substances is limited to line with the existing conventions. Government enacts a law prohibiting the manufacturing, import and consumption of illicit drugs in the society; lectures, seminars and symposiums should also be organised at school levels to create special awareness about the dangers of indiscriminate drug abuse; drug rehabilitation centres should be established in every state of the federation to rehabilitate drug addicts; opinion leaders and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) should also = & parents as role models should not fold their arms, but rather take the lead by knowing the types of companies their children keep, making their children trust them enough to tell their secrets, always engaging their children in productive activities, among others. The NDLEA should be given autonomous power to interfere in > The menace of drug abuse is predominant among our youths and teenagers; therefore, the burden of curbing it should not be left to government alone rather parents, schools, churches, mosques, NGOs, should join hands with government to ensure that drug abuse is eliminated in our society.

t would be recalled that the elder brother of the state Deputy Governor, Mr. Sunday Laoye, defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in April after the party primary election that produced Senator Iyiola Omisore as the party’s candidate. This was greeted with lots of furore across the state. His son organised an APC rally in the front of his father’s house to denounce his father’s move into opposition PDP, pledging the continuous stay of other members of the family in the party. As the glee of defection to actually know the camp that some political gladiators really belong. This is because there were numerous defections to the Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP) as well as the Accord Party (AP). However, the APC seems to have harvested more from the daily defections as some notable politicians and their supporters from the main opposition party in the state, the PDP, defected to it. At a mega rally which took place in Ilesa in Ijesa-South Federal Constituency of the state, former state secretary of the PDP and three others openly declared and defected to the APC. The new members are Mr. Yinka Adeojo, former state secretary under former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Alhaji Rasaq Oyelami, the personal assistant to Oyinlola; Mr. Teslim Igbalaye, former chairman, Osogbo Local Government Council of the state; Moyosoluwa Ogunwale; and Mrs. Kemi Adejare. They were followed four days later by Senator Felix Ogunwale who represented Osun Central in the National Assembly between 2003 and 2007 as he also dumped the PDP for the APC. It is believed in some political parties that these defectors are the front runners for Oyinlola in the APC. There were speculations that the former governor would defect any moment before the election but some of his aides have discounted this.

Senator Isiaka Adetunji < X 6/ $ Governor of the state who represented Osun West Senatorial District of the state between 2007 and 2011 also defected to the APC with hundreds of his supporters from across the state. Adeleke was said to have defected into the APC as a result of alleged assault meted on him and his supporters during a stakeholders’ meeting of the PDP held at the Ideal Nest Hotel, Osogbo, in April this year. Adeleke alleged that the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Senator Omisore, and V " < Mr. Jelili Adesiyan, threatened to kill him during the meeting. Ogunwale, however, own hinged his defection on the manner in which Senator Omisore emerged, describing the process as crude and undemocratic. However, Adeojo and others were said to have been expelled from the PDP for alleged antiparty activities, thus prompting their defection to the APC. The new members were received into the fold of the APC by Governor Rauf Aregbesola who presented them with the – " ! them to begin to propagate the gospel and principles of the APC. At the same time, Ondo State indigenes based in Osun State

The endorsement which took place at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park in Osogbo, saw the indigenes asking Governor Aregbesola to count on their backing on the ground that the state has witnessed transformation since the last three-and-half years of his administration in the state. Parents of pupils in public primary and secondary schools in the state equally declared their support for the second term ambition of Governor Aregbesola. The parents unanimously endorsed him for second term at a rally organised for him which also featured the presentation of awards to some selected teachers at the Government Technical College,

Omisore (PDP) Osogbo. The parents, under the aegis of Parents Teachers Association (PTA), numbering about 10,000 who converged at the venue, said they were convinced that Aregbesola would serve the " given a second term, hence their endorsement.

He enjoined all parents in the state to troop out massively on the election day and cast their votes for Governor Aregbesola. Governor Aregbesola, in reaction, expressed gratitude to the parents, assuring them that he would dedicate his second term to the development of the state, with special concentration on the education sector. He promised not to disappoint the people of the state, especially parents of public school children if given the opportunity to serve a second term, stressing that his administration would remain

However, because of the massive support received by Governor Aregbesola, there was an alleged plot by the leadership of the PDP and the police to begin a clampdown on APC members by implicating them ahead of the August 9 governorship election. A chieftain of the party, Hon. Sunday Akere, had in a statement claimed that a suspect simply # was arrested during the Ilesa rally of APC and was whisked away to Abuja with the aim of implicating some chieftains of the APC who the PDP sees as threat to their ambition in the state.

Bauchi 2015:Who wins senatorial race, Suswam or Gemade? Godwin Akor, Makurdi

F

or months, those wishing that Governor Gabriel Suswam goes to the Senate in the 2015 have erected billboards and pasted posters in pursuit of their dream. But whenever Suswam was asked to inform the people of his ambition, he had always evaded this by saying that he would make a pronouncement on the issue at the appropriate time. While the number of posters and billboards increased, Senator Barnabas Gemade who wants to return to the Senate in 2015 is apparently confused like many others, saying Suswam has adding that all the publicity may have been sponsored by his aides, even without their principal’s knowledge. The controversy surrounding whether the governor has an ambition to go to the Senate was however laid to rest on Thursday, July 17 when all the traditional rulers in the Sankera area of the state (Suswam’s domain), comprising Ukum, Logo and KatsinaAla local governments presented him to traditional rulers in the Kwande/ Ushongo zone with a request that their slot (Kwande/Ushongo’s) be loaned to them for their son (Suswam). Leader of the traditional rulers from Sankera, Chief Fezanga Wombo, who is the chairman of Katsina-Ala local government traditional council explained to his counterparts in Kwande and Ushongo that after Suswam’s tenure at the Senate, the seat would return to the area, pleading for their understanding. Responding, Ter Kwande (chairman of Kwande local government traditional council), Chief Hillary Ikima, and the Ter Ushongo (chairman of Ushongo local government traditional council) Chief Ambrose Lortyer who responded on behalf of their colleagues gave their blessing to Suswam. While the ceremony at the palace of Chief Hillary Ikima at Adikpo was " Suswam by politicians in the area was X made some requests they want him

" ! the Senate. At the VIP Guest House, Adikpo, where the stakeholders met with Suswam, a former political adviser and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Orya Koinjo, the House of Representatives member from the area, Mr. Benjamin Aboho; former member of the

Suswam House of Representatives, Mr. Terfa Atii, who spoke for others said the infrastructural development in their areas and the appointments of their people were enough evidence of Suswam’s love for the people. They requested the governor to open up more rural roads in the $ $ _X! [ Ranch as soon as he gets to the Senate. They also urged him to open more windows of employment for their sons and daughters at the federal level. In the senatorial zone, Sankera and Jechira, comprising Vandeikya and Konshisha local government areas had produced Senators Daniel Saror (who spent eight years in the Senate) and Joseph Akaagerger/Barnabas Gemade who would have spent four years each in the Senate by May 2015. While Akaagerger was at the Senate between 2007 and 2011, Gemade who is presently at the Senate would be completing his four-year tenure in May 2015. Between 1999 and 2015, only Kwande/Ushongo political axis has not produced a senator. This was the issue that made Suswam and his kinsmen to move to Kwande/ Ushongo to ask that the position of senator be loaned to them. The move by Suswam towards actualising his 2015 ambition puts paid to the speculation on his intention to run for the race, though he is yet to ! % that the contest between him and Senator Gemade would be tough. % – " \ # ƒ campaign vehicles donated by his friends, aides and well wishers for this course, but the question is how the zone would be able to contain the upset likely to follow the election? Records have shown that the governor $

It is obvious that the weight of a governor cannot be compared to that of a senator except such a senator is the president of the Senate or his deputy

another day. Now that he has sought and received the blessing and endorsement of traditional rulers and major stakeholders in Kwande/ Ushongo, his chances have become brighter. Like the traditional rulers told him on July 17, no Kwande or Ushpngo politician has indicated interest in the position the governor seeks to occupy in 2015. As Suswam begins the journey to the Senate, it should be pointed out to those who think that the

opposition may give him tough time in the senatorial zone that the times are changing. Benjamin Aboho, a Kwande son who was elected into the House of Representatives in 2011 on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), which later merged with others to form the All Progressives Congress (APC) has defected to the PDP. In the same Kwande, Chief Paul Unongo who was the strength of the opposition in 2011 appears to be retiring from politics while in Ushongo, the anchor man of opposition, Prof. David Iornem, recently defected to the PDP. In the Sankera area, there is no opposition. It is not likely that anyone would go against the people’s decision that Suswam should go to the Senate in 2015. In the Jechira political axis where Gemade comes from along with a former Senator, Joseph Akaagerger, – # two may be a stumbling block for Gemade. While the two of them may be have a cold war in Konshisha which is part of Jechira, Chief Jacob Tilley-Gyado, Chief Ugba Uyegh and other top PDP members may make Suswam have a smooth sail in the second component of Jechira which is Vandeikya. This is not to say that Gemade who already has a structure on the ground would be a push over when the race begins. Gemade would speak of the = zone when he was national chairman of the PDP and secretary of works at the federal level and point to the scholarship scheme he has instituted to help the poor in the area. Governor Suswam, on his part, is likely to talk of the many appointments he has given to the people of the senatorial zone and list out the number of roads he constructed in the area. The governor may equally tell the people that he has given priority to the safety of their lives and property by ensuring that the threat given to their existence by ‚ # # The under-current in the senatorial ambition being pursued by Suswam and Gemade may be more than the eyes could see but coordinators have already volunteered to work for Suswam. It is obvious that the weight of a governor cannot be compared to that of a senator except such a senator is the president of the Senate or his deputy. The stage appears set for the race between Gemade and Suswam but the question is who wins it?

for police arrest, adding that the arrest of APC leadership would not deter people from casting their votes for the party. Aregbesola charged the people of the state to ensure that they cast their votes even if he is arrested by the police, adding that his arrest is meaningless without their votes. He also called on the people not to be intimidated by the threat of arrest by the police, stressing that “we are available for police arrest if that is what the PDP-led Federal Government

wants to do with the deployment of heavy soldiers and other security operatives in the state.� According to him, “if I am arrested, my only charge to you will be that you shouldn’t be afraid. Just go out and cast your vote. Police arrest is meaningless. We are ready for them. We are not running away. We are available and we are ready to lead our people to the Promised Land. He explained that his government has laid a good foundation,� adding that, that was the major reason he would not want the good work to stop

abruptly. Aregbesola stated that the state had been under the PDP government for seven-and-half years and that nothing was done to move it forward. He debunked the insinuation that his administration is planning to hike fees of private schools in the state, adding that all roads under construction would be completed during his second term. The governor therefore admonished people without permanent voter cards to collect theirs, adding that without it they would not be able to cast their votes. He also charged them to check

their names on the voter register pasted by INEC in their local government councils in order to make necessary corrections. Earlier, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State had enjoined the people of the state to ensure that they return Governor < him complete the ongoing infrastructural and development projects. The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Nojeem Sallam, said there is no way for the PDP to rig the coming election in the state because “Osun is unlike Ekiti.�

At the end, the things people were accusing Yuguda of not doing were wrong because we discovered that a lot has been achieved under him. “I then came to a conclusion that Yuguda’s accusers are not opportune to go round like we did. I’m saying this because anybody that went round the state would be surprised by the volume of work done by the governor,â€? he said, listing education and health sectors as areas Yuguda performed well. According to him, “just the way you saw people urging him to vie for the Bauchi South Senatorial District which comprises Alkaleri, Bauchi, Toro, Dass, Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro ‡ $ areas of the state, based on his achievements in the last seven years of his administration, so too elders and other well respected Nigerians are beckoning on him to vie for the presidency in the forthcoming general elections under the platform of the PDP. “In my opinion leadership comes from God and God gives it to whoever he wants.

Business & Economy

FG’s proposed $1bn loan: Experts react President Goodluck Jonathan recently sought permission to borrow $1 billion to confront the dreaded Boko Haram insurgency headlong in terms of equipment upgrade, training and logistics of the Armed Forces and security agencies. Financial analysts and other stakeholders in the economy have expressed their opinions on the issue. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

N

igeria used to be one of the highest indebted nations of the world until the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo with the same Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the Finance Minister, liquidated the country’s debts owed to the London and Paris Clubs. However, a few years after the celebrated freedom from debt, the country’s foreign debt is set to hit $10 billion, if the National Assembly grants President Jonathan’s request for $ 1 billion external loan to wage war against the dreaded Boko Haram. Some Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch agreed that the government has a duty to confront the various insurgent groups across the country, if peace and tranquility are to be achieved, but were quick to add that the country does not need the proposed foreign loan to defeat the sect. A popular economist, Mr. Adetiba Adetutu, kicked against the manner the present administration has embraced foreign loans, describing the trend as “inimical to the growth� of the country’s economy. Adetutu said the country has no business applying for $1billion loan, since the country has invested substantial amount of its yearly budget in the past three years on defense, adding that the amount has not yielded the desire results. The economist stressed that the military authorities have not been able account for the huge amount voted for the Ministry of Defense in its war against insurgent groups in the past. According to him, the Ministry of Defense in recent past, has taken the larger chunk of the country’s yearly budgets. What has the military got to show for it so far? Nigerians are still being killed on a daily basis; Boko Haram is winning more

$ # ! He stressed that the loan, if granted by the National Assembly will not be used judiciously, as past experiences have shown. “Personally, I am against the way this government is plugging Nigeria back to the club of highly indebted nations. If the government’s request to the National Assembly is granted, the country’s debt will amount to $10 billion. If this government

is opportune to have two tenures, the country will be close to where it was before Obasanjo’s administration paid up the previous debts. “All these missing funds we read on a regular basis could be channel to serve most of the purposes we regularly seek foreign loans for. At the rate we are going, by the time this government completes its tenure, the country would have become one of the top indebted nations of the world.� He advised the government to be careful with the way it seeks foreign loan, as the country’s economy is still in the woods, adding that the coming generations would not forgive this government if it piles up foreign debt for them. _ $ # ! # Lagos State University, Dr. Daniels Ayedun, advised the government to shelve the plan. Ayedun, who is of the Department of Philosophy, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, warned that the country #

Crude oil price has remained at over $100 per barrel. The only sad part of the story is that Nigerians have not felt the impact of this high crude oil and gas sales since the coming of the civilian government. “The government has not been able to deliver on stable power supply, unemployment has remains very high. Many Nigerians do not have a roof over their heads. Those who are lucky to have a roof over their heads, pay through their noses, as the prices of building materials have gone over the roof. “Our public doctors have been on strike for the past one month.

The don said the huge amount allocated to the Ministry of Defense in the past three years to wage wars against the various insurgent groups has not yielded much fruits, adding that there is no guarantee that the $1 billion, if secured, would be properly used. “The Federal Government in the past three years has allocated the highest amount of its budget to the Ministry of Defense. But some time ago, there was mutiny in the military over non-payment of soldiers’ allowance.� He advised the government to seek funds # to mortgage the future of Nigerians, adding that foreign loan is a double edged sword which is inimical to the economic interest of the country. Saturday Newswatch notes that the National Assembly had in the N4.6 trillion

to upgrade the equipment, training and logistics of our Armed Forces and Security Services to enable them more forcefully confront this serious threat.� Speaking on the need for the Federal Government to access the loan, the Minister of State for Defense, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, said the loan is urgently needed if the country hope to defeat the insurgents, adding that the Navy and other security agencies have not acquired any meaningful weapon in the last 25 years. The minister, who spoke at Warri, Delta State, at the weekend, disclosed that if the foreign loan is granted, it will be used to boost the performance of the military. Many Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch unilaterally told the government = X " for the war against Boko Haram, as the resources from gas, crude oil and other minerals the country export to the outside world are enough to wage the war against the dreaded insurgent group. They added that Gen Yakubu Gowon’s government did not borrow any money while prosecuting the three years civil war, adding that what is needed is sincerity of purpose on the part of government " ! saddled with prosecuting the war in the North East. < " $ # " ! Nigerians who are against the loan, the chairman of the newly inaugurated Victims \ ‚ [ ? Theophilous Danjuma, tasked President Jonathan to take decisive action to end the insurgency, saying that Boko Haram appears to be having upper hand in the Danjuma, who was a former Minister of Defense, lamented the menace of the insurgents, saying that the war must be brought to an end. “We must end this war immediately, it is taking too long.“

T

he Industrial Training Funds (ITF) and Nigerian Employers Consultative Association (NECA) yesterday graduated 45 young Nigerians who have undergone the organizations’ Technical Skills Development Project (TSDP) programme. Speaking at the occasion, the Director ? —[ " 6/ $ " _%‚ Dr. (Mrs) Juliet Chukkas-Onaeko disclosed that TDSP is an initiative which aims at producing appropriate technical skilled workforce in the country, with a view to reduce unemployment and youth restiveness, by empowering Nigerians with industrial and vocational skills for paid or self employment. Chukkas -Onaeko said her agency will collaborate with private organizations who wish to train their workforce, adding that the country lacks adequate manpower to drive the current’s government’s ‘National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP). She stressed that the 45 young Nigerians trainees who recently passed out of her agency’s TSDP is part of ITF’s modest # X ensuring that the require skilled workforce for driving NIPR is made available in ' ! The ITF boss stressed, “ it is for this reason that the ITF keyed into the Nigerian Industrial Skills Development Programme(NISDP) in 2013. This programme resulted in the training of over 37000 youths in autotronics, Information and Communication Technology(ICT) % \ # Ă&#x; ‡ # Ă&#x; Fabrication. She added that in order to accelerate the process of skills acquisition for the ‘Transformation Agenda’ the ITF is also collaborating with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (SMEDAN) and Bank of Industry to implement the Nigerian Enterprise Development Programme (NEDEP), which she said is another plank of the NIPR. Chukkas-Onaeko appealed to the government to ensure that all liable employers register and pay their training contribution to the ITF , in order for ITF to train more youths in technical and vocational skills. According to her, “ it is for this reason we are soliciting the support and cooperation of our stakeholders in ensuring that all liable employers register and pay their training contribution to the ITF. In the same vein, we are also calling on the government to ensure that all Ministries, Departments and Agencies comply with the ITF ACT by " ! " purpose of promoting skills training .â€? The ITF boss said her agency is advocating a strategy to resuscitate technical skills training that comprises short, medium and long term plan involves revamping existing vocational and technical training schools by reequipping them to commence training of artisans, craftsmen and technicians immediately. She called for the establishment of new vocational and technical training schools in all parts of the country, by Federal State and Local Government Areas to complement the existing ones The ITF boss disclosed that her agency plan to establish 32 skills training centers in various locations of the country, adding that by so doing the critical mass of technical skilled manpower required to drive the NIPR can be produced. In his remarks, the Training Manager, Industrial Skills Training Center (ISTC), Ikeja, MR o.j Abimbola disclosed that the center was established in 1983 as a vocational training center (VTC) with only three trade areas, adding that the center was renamed and restructured in 1997 as Industrial Skills Training Centre .

NIMASA’s strides in human capacity development , „ … ”

H

istorical accounts have shown that nations with economic, technological and political stability and advancement gave priority attention to the proper education and training of their citizens to unlock and utilise their potentials for the full development of their countries. This is why it is very interesting to note the revolution in the Nigeria’s maritime sub-sector’s educational and training advancement. The Federal Government of Nigeria is responding positively to the deficiency of professional human capital and technology in the maritime domain through the institutional intervention of Federal Ministry of Transport’s laudable educational policies, and creation of the enabling environment for Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA)’s funding and management of these education and training facilities. The gap has placed Nigeria at a disadvantage in the global maritime economy thus compounding the country’s dependency on foreign nationals, institutions and operators who are currently dominating the industry. Human capital development in the maritime sub-sector is central in President Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda of repositioning the subsector to more enviable heights. The President convened a Maritime Retreat in August 2012 which came out with a blueprint to revolutionise the sub-sector. The Action Plan of the Retreat produced under the chairmanship of the Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, stimulated changes and improvement in the Maritime domain and one of the major key indicators of such improvement is human capital development. NIMASA has been a champion of human capital development in the maritime domain through its various

laudable education, research and training programmes, to develop corps of qualified seafarers to man the ships. The Nigerian Seafarers Development Programme (NSDP) initiated in 2008 and currently being fully sponsored by NIMASA is strongly on course, with Nigerian cadets undergoing training in Philippines, Egypt, India and United Kingdom. The total number of beneficiaries of the programme is put at 2,505 with the Agency planning to increase it to 5,000 by the year 2015 and 10,000 by 2020. About 5 cadets have graduated from the scheme. NIMASA conceived this scheme to bridge the gap created by shortage of seafarers of Nigerian origin whose average age was put at 65 years by sponsoring the training of Nigerian youth in some of the best maritime training institutions abroad to degree level in Marine Engineering, Navigation Technology, Nautical Science and Naval Architecture. The programme has passed through three funding arrangements. In the first window, the state governments of the benefitting cadets contributed 60 percent while NIMASA contributed 40 percent. The gains of NSDP notwithstanding, the programme was considered inadequate to meet the demand of Nigerian seafarers. As man power training indigenization strategy, NIMASA established the first Nigerian Maritime University and the Shipyard/Dock Yard facilities, both at Okerenkoko, Delta State. The President recently performed the ground breaking ceremonies of these facilities and the flag off of activities at the temporary site of the university at Kurutie, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State. Academic Studies will begin at the temporary site in October, 2014. The College of Science and Technology, Okoloba, Delta State which has resumed academic studies at its temporary site is being established

to serve as a demonstration school for the Maritime University, Okerenkoko. NIMASA has established institutes of Maritime Studies in four Nigerian universities namely University of Lagos; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Niger Delta University, Amasoma and Ibrahim Badamosi University, Lapai, Niger State with the objective of contributing to the production of high quality future global maritime leaders and professionals through quality Maritime education, training and research. These institutes have been empowered with take-off grants by NIMASA. As the locomotive engine of Maritime education and training in Nigeria, NIMASA has been fulfilling its statutory obligation of contributing a certain percentage of its earnings to Maritime Academy, Oron (MAN), and even went beyond the statutory obligation to fund the Academy. NIMASA is recording these strides because the Director-General, Patrick Akpobolokemi, is an educationist and holds the vision of making Nigeria contribute significantly to the global pool of seafarers, and indeed be the hub for seafarers in Africa. In addition, the supervisory authorities have this will and determination to reposition maritime education in the country. Mr. President’s will and commitment to maritime education is total and unwavering. He personally performed the ground breaking ceremony of the Nigerian Maritime University.

pledging their support for Nsukka senatorial zone to produce the next governor in 2015 as being championed by Governor Sullivan Chime and the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

part of Nigeria, advising the cleric to see zoning from that perspective. A statement by Dr. Mario Umegbolu, Chairman, Theo Rays Ejikeme, Secretary and Tony Okwute, posited that zoning is acceptable and popular among the people in line with democracy in Nigeria because it accommodates all parts of the country.

Speaking in the same vein, the National President of Igbo Ezue Unity Association, Elder Puis Okoye, Alias Oyi of Oyi, said that zoning has to be well promoted in the South East for the purpose of peace and smooth running of democracy, adding that stake holders like political parties, traditional rulers, town union and religious leaders have to toe the part of zoning to deepen democracy in Igboland. Elder Okoye, who spoke during the monthly meeting of the group in Awka, also used Anambra as a case study saying that the pro Igbo group is passionately championing the cause of zoning as part of their commitment for overall well being of Ndigbo.

damawa State A chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),

yesterday, urged the 21 local government chairmen and 36 area administrators who expressed willingness to defect from the All Progressives Congress to (APC) to go public and denounce their APC membership. The state chairman of the party, Chief Joel Madaki, who received the 21 council chiefs said the PDP is willing to accept them if they follow due process.

Madaki also advised them to publicly renounce their APC membership in the media so that constitutional lapses would be averted in case of any eventuality.

During eight years at Chelsea, Drogba also won three Premier League titles, four FA

Unfortunately, many of our political leaders seem not to learn anything from these age-long lessons from the sage. And that is why, rather than accept the consequences of their indiscretion, they are either startled by them or look for someone else to blame.

In a blink of an eye, the APC became the majority party in the House, and was already gearing up to change its leadership. The ‘coup’ was aborted by the counter defections of a couple of other members of the House from sundry parties. The same scenario was to play out in the Senate where PDP was set to lose majority until the Senate President made a deft move by refusing to read the letter from the defecting senators, forcing them to technically remain in PDP in the Senate, though outside the Senate they were already APC Senators. Subsequently, the hand of the Senate President was strengthened by the suit instituted by PDP asking the court to declare the seats of all decamped legislators vacant. At that time, it was all jubilations for APC leaders, members and some supporters who were so enthused with the successful dismembering of the PDP. For many, it was democracy at work, nothing immoral, nothing G% /

Now the chicken has come home to roost, and what goes around has come around; and hell is let loose!

? 5 from his party are impeached, especially if those impeached were the same that decamped to his party peachment if it goes to subvert the electoral mandate of the people. When people have elected a party or a particular candidate through the party, I believe it is the responsibility of the people to vote out such a party or the party’s candidate at the next election if they no longer want the party or its candidate. Though the legislators may claim to represent the people and that the constitution permits it, they are only expected to exercise choice on behalf of the people in such matters as change of governor or the governing party in extreme and grave circumstances. It is not a responsibility that must be taken lightly or just done to pander to political whims and caprices. It must also not be taken in a manner that will threaten national security and political stability or disrupt the economy. Therefore, all political actors must exercise utmost caution, noting that all actions have opposite and equal reactions. The trouble with our current situation, however, is that we have too much hypocrisy in our polity. Principles and values are lacking. A politician who sees nothing wrong with

parties to join his in one day, cannot start sermonising and threatening our sensibilities when one or two governors from his party are impeached, especially if those impeached were the same that decamped to his party. Where is the moral basis to cry wolf and threaten our polity? We must always remember that what is not good for the gander, should also not be good for the goose. Or is it the other way? Whichever way, I trust that you got my drift.
