Cover Ebola: We are in ‘war time’ in Rivers, says Health Commissioner Nath Omame, Port Harcourt he Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Samson Parker, has likened the emergence of Ebola Virus Disease in the state to a ‘war time’ situation, saying it posses a serious challenge. He said Governor Chibike Amaechi has pledged to provide funds for the procurement of relevant materials as well as the services of medical experts from Nigeria and abroad with the aim of containing the spread of the virus in the state. Dr. Parker told journalists in Port Harcourt that the late Dr. Iyke Samuel Enemou, who treated Olu Ibikunle Koye, a Nigerian working with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), was aware that the diplomat was a carrier of the Ebola virus. Said Parker: “He (Koye) received (the now deceased) Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, in Lagos. Upon developing the symptom,

league called Lillian, who contacted Dr. Enemuo. It was after contact was established with Dr. Enemuo court to see Dr. Enemuo.� To conceal his movement, Koye, who had been quarantined with other people for having primary contact with the late Sawyer, reportedly sneaked out of the isolation unit where he was being observed and took

and switched of his phone so that he could not be reached or traced should he answer any phone call. On arrival in Port Harcourt, Parker said Koye obfuscated being traced, checked into a local hotel in the Rumunokoro area in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area. The hotel is within the Rumunokoro area where Dr. Enemuo has his health facility - Sam Steel Clinic. Dr. Parker explained: “From what we have gathered so far, Dr. Enemuo, knowing very well that Koye was positive of the Ebola virus, took some measures of precaution to protect himself while treating Koye. Knowing the enormity of what he was doing, Dr. Enemuo upon Koye’s departure for Lagos, poured bleach all over the room that Koye slept, in order to disinfect the place.� He continued: “Upon developing the Ebola symptom, Dr. Enemuo approached one of our colleagues for treatment at Green Heart Hospital, along Evboh Road, in G.R.A. He did not tell the

Adamawa Guber: Ribadu, Marwa, Gundiri get waivers Aspirants face screening panel today R / 0 5 Abuja

espite came the way of former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, former military administrator of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa (rtd) and Engr. Marcus Gundiri yesterday, following the granting of waivers by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for them to contest in the party’s primary election. The party has scheduled its primary election for September 6, ahead of the governorship bye-election on October 11. The party also cleared all aspirants to participate in the nomination process. The process leading to the primary of the Adamawa State chapter of the PDP had generated controversy following a petition on Thursday by former political adviser to the President, / ) " 8 er aspirants, urging the party to disqualify both Ribadu and the former Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commis-

sion (UBEC), Dr. Ahmed Modibbo. The petitioners also prayed the party to disqualify Marwa, Gundiri and General Aliyu Kama (rtd). But a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated: “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP, at the end of its meeting on Friday, August 29, 2014, unanimously cleared all aspirants who expressed interest to contest the October 11 Adamawa State governorship election on the platform of the PDP to participate in the party’s nomination process. The PDP emphasised that “after very careful and thorough consideration of all applications and the report of the Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha-led Adamawa State PDP Governorship Waiver Committee, the 1( 8 all the aspirants met the requirements stipulated by the PDP constitution to participate in the process.

“Consequently, waiver has been granted to General Buba Marwa, Engr.

On the petition signed by seven of the 14 aspirants on

Thursday, requesting the party not to grant waiver to Ribadu, Marwa and Gundiri, Metuh said the petition was brought to the attention of the sub-committee set up by the party to advice the NWC on the waiver request, but that the petition was not submitted to the right committee, saying the screening committee is the appropriate committee to handle such matter. While justifying the decision to grant waiver to Ribadu and others in spite of petitions by seven other aspirants, the PDP spokesman said the party is guided by the spirit and content of its constitution. He, however, added: “We are happy that these three notable and eminent Nigerians are in the platform of our party.� The screening committee is set to screen the 14 candidates today, August 30. Metuh however debunked insinuations that the Presidency was part of the decision that led to the granting of waiver to Ribadu, Marwa and Gundiri.

Arochukwu-Ohafia Road:Let good conscience prevail

A

friend of mine from a neighbouring state said to me at a public function that it was impossible to access Arochukwu by road or even by air. This disparaging aphorism sums up the deplorable nature of this notorious = 4 •` ‡ unrelenting taunting of the Aros, a people of historical relevance now rendered irrelevant,

a state of arrested development through no fault of theirs. We hear in the news of roads being built and commissioned by the Federal Government in sundry places and wonder when Arochukwu shall be remembered either by the state or the Federal governments. Aros have been asking for this one thing from successive administrations to no avail. It is either the people in government are not listening or someone is turning a deaf ear to their plight. It is like looking into the eye of an average Aro man and saying to him that his vote in any election does not count. Didn’t Aro vote for the state governor and the President in the last elections with overwhelming support for both? Why are

we being punished for our loyalty; why are we being neglected and pushed to the wall? Is the Aro man incapable of revolting against constituted authorities and paralyzing their activities if only to enforce his fundamental rights to basic amenities like good roads? This is like holding the tiger by the tail. For a regular user of this 30 kilometer stretch, it a nightmarish experience to say the least. Commuters and transporters are at the end of it. The economic losses are Πaborted on this bumpy road; medical emergencies cannot be reached leading to high morbidity in the entire area. Social life no longer exist, marriages and burials are punctuated with thoughts of how to % and how to get out successfully after these events. More often than not, such trips end up in disaster. Visitors, friends, in-laws and would-be suitors swear by their ancestors never to visit Arochukwu again after escaping the death trap called Arochukwu` ' Kelechi Esomonu Orieh, P/Harcourt

The Igbo question in Nigeria Continued from last week By Onyiorah Chiduluemije Paschal Unfortunately, the impression that “the redemption @ # President Obasanjo, a Yoruba man� is still part of that mentality of the likes of Aribisala that would always goad some Igbo elements into reacting in such a way that would Œ ‘ ' { God’s sake, was Olusegun Obasanjo the one who trained Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, Prof. Charles Soludo, Prof. Dora Akunyili and Prof. Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke in schools? Or was Obasanjo in any way instrumental to their great achievements at national and international levels before he appointed them to serve the nation in his government? What then is this gibberish about appointing them into # – @ = Chief Olusegun Obasanjo acknowledged that “Igbos are some of the most seasoned, competent and experienced public servants� and so had “relied on their expertise� not only to legitimise his administration, but also to turn around the fortunes of this nation , then from where did the notion of “redemption� come into play? More importantly, if not solely for sheer quest to tap from her wealth of experience and expertise, why then did the same “redeemer� called Obasanjo reportedly acquiesce – as a condition precedent – to pay the salary of Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the then Minister of Finance in dollars, at the time? It is most unfortunate that Femi Aribisala carries the notion that “out of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Igbo have by far the worst politicians.� But the big question is: what criteria did Aribisala employ in arriving at this jejune conclusion? Of course, as we all know, [ [ ' ‘ least, to the best of our knowledge, there is hardly a time gubernatorial politicking in Anambra State, for instance, is 4 the scenario that obtains in Lagos State at times. That aside, the only time there was a near state of anarchy in Anambra politics, which was clandestinely masterminded and remotely supervised by the power that be in Abuja, was during the administration of a Yoruba man in the person of President Olusegun Obasanjo. What is more, the perception that the Igbo have no “recognisable leaders� is as nonsensical as the claim that they “have no discernible strategy as to how to negotiate

power at the center�. Clearly, as a people well-known for decades for running a cephalous society, and according due recognition to elders, titled fellows and persons of great achievements with integrity, it is therefore odd to say that such a group is bereft of “recognisable leaders�. Like the great Prof. Chinua Achebe would rightly argue, the Igbo – unlike the Yoruba – are unhampered by traditional hierarchies.� So, it is not the duty of Femi Aribisala and people of his ilk to create “recognisable leaders� for Ndigbo. As for Igbo plan that will take them to the Aso Villa, that – I believe – would unfold and basically be determined with time and events. For example, if one may ask, what “discernible strategy did the Yoruba have that helped them produce Obasanjo other than the fact that they allowed Abiola to die like a rat in incarceration, which the HausaFulani oligarchs cashed in on to throw up Obasanjo, who ‘ – = plan did the South-South adopt other than the fact that the

death of President Umaru Musa Yar’dua availed them the # – However, it is today the desperation of the Hausa-Fulani to secure power by all means, which has led to the Boko

anguish on the entire country, the North and themselves in particular. Is this perhaps the kind of strategy Aribisala intends that the Igbo adopt towards a successful realisation of their Presidential aspiration in Nigeria? Let it be known to the likes of Aribisala that the Igbo are not animals, and so would actualise their dream to produce a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in due course through the application of wisdom, diplomacy, cooperation, reasonable and orthodox use of force where inevitable. !

Fashola’s school fees’ reversal good, but.. By Momodu Kadiri

A

lthough, for every beginning, there is an end; but while one can determine the former, same cannot be said of the later. If not for risky tussles, pursuing marbles, securing guaranteed society, goodness and fairness would be impossible. | % through the valley of death; these are the

4 4 of our common good. The end result will thousand naira (N25, 000) as school fees (across board) for the students of the Lagos State University (LASU), as directed by the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN). History of the Struggle The struggle leading to this enormous success began three years ago (2011) when a visitation panel to LASU recommended that for the school to function and compete should pay more. Prior to this time, N25, 000 was their tuition fees. As expected, they all protested, but yielded no tangible result then. Consequently, they were made to pay between N193, 700 and N348, 500 respectively. However, the recent struggle leading to this heart-warming success began on January 22, (this year), following a demonstration by some students demanding for the opening of portal registration to enable them register their courses, but degenerated into full scale protestations thereafter. Angered by this development, they (students) started demanding an urgent downward review of the tuition fee which abnitio caused the hardships of raising cash. |

Since there was no organised union to pursue the cause proactively then, a forum known as ‘Save LASU, Save the Future was formed as pioneering machinery for the struggle. It was this forum that laid a ground foundation that commenced a radical approach/activism for the actualisation of the goals of the struggle. These goals include:(1) Opening of LASU (which then was closed) and registration portal; (2) No payment of reparation/damages by any students involved in the protest; (3) No

victimisation of students of any sought; (4) Adequate funding of LASU; (5) Democratic Management of LASU; and (6) Total reversal of fee hike. These were its cardinal objectives. After a massive media campaign, thanks to Educational Rights Campaign (ERC); Joint Action Front (JAF) and LASU Students (LASUSU), Governor Raji Fashola called for a dialogue on April 2. Consequently, the governor asked that the Students’ Union executives (students’ representatives) should go and prepare a detailed paper-work on what it think the ' | was not taken until almost after two months during which the Nurideen Yusuf’s led SUG had led the students to some important markets and major highways in Lagos in a view to sensitising them on the need to prevail on the government. 3 = the government hurriedly took a decision few days after the LASU students went

The shocking moment In anticipation and enthusiasm on what to expect when the governor comes out and what they (protesters) would do should they be snubbed, news broke in that the governor has approved a total reversal of LASU fees to the old N25, 000. Immediately, LASU atmosphere was erupted in ecstasy. The jubilant students became excited as they did not hide their joy. They hugged one another in a clear show of happiness for victory at last after almost eight straightmonths of struggle. Expectedly, the usual anti-APC-Fashola songs prior to this time surreptitiously vanished and reverted to ‘Fashola Baba’, ‘APC, change’. The news came as a shocker indeed, for not a single student had such premonition. A day after, (August 8) the Students’ Union president, comrade Nurideen Temilola Yusuf led other members of his (LASUSU) cabinet and students on a thank you visit to Governor Babatunde Fashola. How Fashola turned hero The school fees reversal meant so many ' | there is no more stressful hustle at the Alaba International market, Ojo, or the popular Computer Village Market, Ikeja, trying to raise between N193,500 and N350,000 for school fees.

No more undue insult of the governor. Everything has gone for the good. Bye bye to students’ vociferousness in LASU for now.

Dangers of making calls while driving By Madu Emezie

M

any times while driving in Abuja roads, I have had course to yell out to another driver: “stop making calls on the steering� and when I am not able to get to the hearing distance of such errant driver, I fume and feel pity for road users and families of such ones. This is because I know the dangers inherent. It could lead to immediate death, permanent disability or irreparable damage to cars. Unfortunately, these are avoidable accidents. The most disheartening thing is that some even read text

Â? phones for numbers while negotiating corners in busy roads or streets and while trying to tell them the dangers 4 engage in name calling. Also, some pedestrians engage in making phone calls while crossing busy roads and this has resulted in deaths and injuries. It is very painful to discover that most of these calls are frivolous calls that could wait. Some drivers also engage in calls to display their costly cell phones. How can a normal being drive close to an opposite

sex in a highway while in motion to demand phone numbers and even engage in wooing someone on the phone while driving? Indeed, because of these experiences, anytime I am driving, I am always on the lookout for drivers who are drifting or losing control knowing that such a person is making a call or reading a text message; and my inkling of that has never failed me. Before the advent or rather the proliferation of cell phones in Nigeria, we existed but these days a lot behave as if they have a covenant with their cell phones. Even in churches and mosques, you hear handsets buzzing carelessly and uncontrollably desecrating the serenity of such holy grounds. Last time, while my pastor was busy driving home a point about living a godly life, a shabbily dressed and provocatively looking lady was busy % " 4 Berry with much gusto. That is by the way, but In the midst of all this staccato and discordant # arrest these devious drivers. The former Corps Marshal of the Road Safety, Mr. Osita Chidoka, recently announced a newly adopted

strategy that would ensure that any person caught using the mobile phone while driving would no longer be

4 and be jailed. Curious enough, the new helms man of the FRSC never alluded to that in his assumption speech which invariably shows that it is not in his blue prints. Several studies show that using mobile phones while driving is the leading cause of car crashes. It is estimated that cell phone distracteddrivers are four times more likely to be in a car crash. In the United Kingdom, the Transport Research Laboratory said that texting on the wheel could of drink or drugs. The research found sending a text to slow reaction time by 37% while using cannabis delayed it 21% and drinking to the legal limit 13%. Speaking on a phone slowed it by 46%. According to the U.S. National | # ? = (NHTSA), “almost 50% of all drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 are ’ experienced adult drivers in the USA text messages while driving.� In the same vein, “In 2008, almost

6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured in crashes related to driver-distraction. In 2009, in the U.S., 5,474 people were reportedly killed by distracted drivers and out of these, 995 deaths were considered to be caused by drivers distracted by cell phones.� A study by a University of South Carolina psychology researcher featured in the journal, Experimental Psychology, found that planning to speak and speaking put far more demands on the brain’s resources that ' ~ % levels showed that subjects were four times more distracted while preparing to speak or speaking than when they were listening.

Electricity consumers demand justification for $37b investment

Abiodun Awogbemi

The Distribution Companies appear to have boxed the government and National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to submission as energy consumers continue to pay high bills even with irregular supply of power, coupled with high cost of running businesses in the country. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

hen on November 2, 2013, the Federal Government announced that the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), has been separated into the Distribution (DISCOs) and Generating companies (GENCOs) and handed over to private owners, Nigerians celebrated and heaved a sigh of relief. After 10 months however, Nigerians have come to the realisation that their celebration was premature as the 18 DISCOs have only mastered the act of dishing out crazy bills in exchange for zero service.

Tella, who was speaking with newsmen “on the way forwardâ€? in the power sector in Lagos during the commissioning of the club’s Wellness Center in Lagos, stressed that government should develop more independent power generating companies to liberate the sector for national economic growth. According to him, “Investors in the country are worried that huge debt is incurred in maintaining generating plants, and as a result, business operator’s high investment on diesel and other accessories is not helping the growth of business activities in the country. In his words, “We are worried that manufactured products in Nigeria are more expensive than those imported from overseas because the environment is not conducive. Our call is urgent because the cost of diesel in production is invariably transferred to the consumers.â€? Tella alleged that there has not been any change in the power sector after the privatization describing it as casting new wine into old wine kegs. According to him, “When something is not working for you, change the structure completely.â€? He emphasised that insecurity,

and erratic power supply remained hindrances to business activities in the country. According to him, poor business atmosphere had increased the hardship of Nigerians and discouraged investors. He added that the unfriendly environment was equally responsible for unemployment and the casualisation of workers in most business enterprises. In his remarks, Dr. Dele Mananjolu, who is the chairman of Vitafoam Nigeria Plc, said the main economic challenges in West Africa were poor infrastructure and absence of liberal economy in spite of government propagandas. In his lecture titled “Exploring the opportunity that abound along the West African Sub-region,� he said anti –market, anti-trade, pro-subsidy and proregulation of the various governments had hampered economic growth in the sub-region. “Poor infrastructure in transport, (air, road, rail and waterways), energy, waste management, water supply, public health, telecommunications and housing remains economic challenges in the subregion,� he lamented. The Vitafoam Plc boss said that economic development in the sub-region, particularly in Nigeria, could be achieved only through continuous technological innovation, industrial upgrading and ' He called on the government to enact required legislation, legal and institutional framework to improve business environment. An economic analyst, Mr. Saka Ogunleye of Starcrux Services told Saturday Newswatch that the prices of goods manufactured in the country are constantly on the increase due to the high cost of powering generating sets. Ogunleye stressed that the DISCOs are only interested in sending crazy bills even without supplying power, adding that business owners still have to spend a fortune to buy diesel or alternative sources of power generation. The Starcrux boss noted that government and NERC are to blame particular and Nigerians in general, explaining that the Federal Government and NERC are quick to grant the <8}X` Q@?X` 4 even as Nigerians are still contending with darkness.

According to him, “There is no way local products will not be more expensive than those manufactured in Asia or Europe where there is cheap and stable power supply.� Local businessmen who spoke to Saturday Newswatch were in agreement that government and NERC have not live up to expectations as the over $37 billion investments in power sector has not translated to an improved power supply. They alleged massive corruption in the power sector which has compromised government and NERC, and provided a leeway for DISCOs to short change Nigerians.

Business Interview

Women propel the economy – Monu-Olarewaju Honourable (Mrs) Chinwe Monu-Olarewaju is the former Delta State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry and presently, the chairman, Oshimili South Local Government Council. Armed with served as Special Adviser to a one time Minister of Police Affairs, Legislator in the Delta State House of Assembly, representing Oshimili Local Government, of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON). In this interview with ABIODUN AWOGBEMI, she bares her mind on women in business among other issues. Excerpt:

H

ow do you see women in business in Nigeria? Today, women have improved considerably in doing business as against what we use to have in those days when women were in the background. Presently, we have more women who are well educated and enlightened, especially about the business sector. Women are the backbone of the family and bridge the gap. They constitute 70 percent of the informal sector of the economy, and as we know, the informal sector in Nigeria propels the economy as it provides jobs and means of livelihood for the teeming population of women who in turn supports the family. Women are also essential actors in social life. Are you saying women are at the peak in terms of business and investments? Not really. There are still lots to be done and achieved by women though they are investing in all sectors and are doing considerably well. In the nearest future, women are going to control economic and political power. Women will soon rule the world politically and economically although we have some women presidents now who have been able to lift their country politically and economically as well as giving hope to the people who are now living peacefully without rancor and war. Women are the best accountants and managers, managing any available resources of the family; they equally harmonise all the family to live as one. Some complain that the inability of women to get or secure loans has militated against the development of women in business. What do you think? In some ways, women are not able to access fund properly as they would have loved to do, if women are given easy access to grants and loans, I believe many new ideas will be birthed, and believe me, there are plenty women with great ideas. As we know, majority of women are in the informal sector and have no collateral required for accessing loans. This has been the major reason women are denied loan ' What do you think should be the role of government towards women in

business? The government should be more supportive in all areas that concerns women, and can equally set up a access interest free loans. Women do not default when it comes to refund of loans as we have witnessed in most of the grooming centres across the country where women access small loans for doing business, but this do not go a long way as the fund is not enough. If the government can set aside some funds for women to access freely without much material collateral and interest, then the economy of the country will be robust. Government empowerment programmes should be more broadened than what we have now with more equipment and adequate funds. What should women do to weather the storm in the risk of business? One of the very important ways is going through the incubation period. It is at the incubation period that one will know how to solve problems as well as when not to take a risk. Also, they be should trained in the business they wish to engage in, and if possible get insurance in case of risk. Women in business should give top priority to networking if they really want to succeed in business. There are three basic things a woman in business should pay

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Fintiri is still in the saddle.

But the PDP is determined to recover the State from the APC, hence its primary election on September 6 to choose a ' At the moment, the party is embroiled in power tussle over its standard bearer as 14 of its members have already bought the party’s nomination forms.

Although some of the aspirants are tested politicians with charisma to lead the State, the national leadership of the party has been making moves to contain likely crisis that may brew in the primary, knowing that only one of the aspirants will emerge as candidate. Saturday Newswatch gathered that the party’s ticket may be zoned to Adamawa Central senatorial zone, which has never produced a governor since the creation of the State. As noble as the sentiment may seem, aspirants and party leaders in the State have kicked against the arrangement, describing it as undemocratic, consequent upon which all the aspirants have been invited to the party’s National Secretariat and Presidency for a meeting on the need to produce a consensus candidate. There are speculations also that if the conscensus proposal fails to go through, the leadership may impose a candidate of its choice on the party, provided the person is one with the brightest chance of winning the election. .

Nyako had allegedly vowed not to pay workers two months’ salaries for embarking on a strike, saying, “no work, no salary.� But on gaining power, Fintiri ordered full payment of the workers’ salaries and allowances “without any deductions.� Perhaps that’s charisma that spurred the party big wigs to urge him to run in the by-election because they see and regard him as an embodiment of party loyalty and discipline. And run, Fintiri is running. So with the State’s party apparatus within his control, Fintiri is no doubt the aspirant to beat. Again, the party will not forget the role he played last year in the heat of mass defection of some governors and lawmakers from the PDP to the APC. Fintiri, as then Speaker of the state Assembly, did not only shun entreaties to join Nyako in the APC, he also kept the Assembly intact for the PDP and capped it up by wooing the few APC lawmakers to the PDP, which dealt a deadly blow to Nyako’s administration. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen if the party will give him the ticket, and what he does with it on election day. A source told Saturday Newswatch during the week the “nothing has been concluded yet.� The source said so, given \ politicians in the State are pressuring the Presidency and the National leadership of the PDP to screen out Fintiri, alleging that it is morally wrong for him to contest the race,� pointing out that it would create a wrong precedent that may encourage other lawmakers to embark on umbriddled impeachment of their governors and their deputies to take over leadership in their respective states.

It has been speculated that his sudden defection from APC to the PDP may have been orchestrated by his endorsement by the presidency. Yet that position has been debunked by the Presidency. Already, some political blocs in the State have vowed to stop the former anti-fraud czar by working against his emergence as the party’s candidate because he did not labour with them to nurture the party in the State. But Ribadu, ever boastful, says his credentials are intimidating some political actors within the ruling party hence they are bent on discrediting him politically. Continued on Page 57

Why people are angry with Mimiko – PDP chieftain Mr. Ayo Fadaka is the publicity director of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State. In this interview with ADEWALE GIWA in Washington DC, USA, Fadaka speaks on reasons indigenes of the state are angry with Governor Olusegun Mimiko, among other issues. Excerpts:

" Ibrahim, in Osun State. What prompted this development? The seminar that was held in Ife, Osun State, was a programme of Barrister Ibrahim. Of course, we know that Barrister Ibrahim is a likely aspirant for the 2016 governorship position in Ondo State. He wanted to look at how the state can be re-packaged. Our happiness is to see our state growing; but the reverse has been the case. At the meeting, they talked about how the governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has destroyed the legacies of the state. Presently, the state is into a huge debt due to mismanagement of funds by the current administration of the Labour Party (LP). Companies and institutions in the state have either been destroyed or sold away by the Mimiko-led government. One of such cases is the Owena Motels, a company that was established by the military government as soon as the state was created. Now, the company has been sold by the LP government. I want to tell you that every successful government in Ondo State had managed the company ' } ' ? 4 the gathering in Ife to fashion out modalities to repackage the state when we take over government in 2016.

When it came on board, it was an association of disgruntled people - people that had ambitions and wanted to actualise their ambitions urgently without patience; people at a time who felt that what they desired could not be pursued in the PDP and wanted an easy way out.

He has no commitment to anything beyond that and cannot become governor for third term. So, those coming to the PDP now have begun to see the end of the road for the party. They have no option than to take a walk from the party before it sinks. Many of them who are career politicians and who believe that they still constituents are coming out from the LP to join us.

How Hon.Dogara empowers constituents in Bauchi Nankpah Bwakan, Bauchi

P

rimarily, the role of a legislator in developed countries that practice democracy is to make laws for the wellbeing of his constituents and the overall progress of his country. In Nigeria, apparently due to lack of understanding of the functions of a legislator, the lawmakers have since the return of democracy in 1999 not only made laws but also executed commendable projects in their respective constituencies. It is on record that Hon. Yakubu Dogara, the member representing Bogoro, Dass and Tafawa Balewa federal constituency, is one of the House of Representatives who have moved and sponsored many motions

% worthwhile projects to his constituency, prominent among which is the BauchiDass-Tafawa BalewaDawkin federal road that links his constituents with other parts of Bauchi and Plateau states. It was in recognition of his the House that its Speaker, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has decided to shower praises on him. Though Dogara defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Tambuwal was in Bogoro Local Government Area for the distribution of provided by Hon. Dogara to the people of his federal constituency. The Speaker said he was in Tafawa Balewa because of the relationship that existed between the late Sir

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and late Sir Ahmed Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, adding that Dogara and himself are doing their best to sustain the relationship. He described Hon. Dogara as a credible representative of not only his constituency in Bauchi State but also the people of Nigeria in general. According to him, if the lawmaker’s constituents fail to reelect him, they would be doing a great disservice to themselves and the country as a whole. Said he: “I came here not as an APC member but as Speaker of the House, and I came with some of our APC and PDP members to show solidarity to one of our reliable members who we rely on for wise counsel.� Items distributed to the Bogoro, Dass and Tafawa Balewa constituency were estimated at a cost of over N3,000,000 which is aside the books and free medical services the lawmaker 4 his constituents. Items distributed include 100 water pumps, 200 grinding machines, over 200 Keke NAPEPs, sewing machines, motorcycles, bicycles as well as wheel chairs for the cripple among them. Hon. Dogara charged items for the purpose of empowering themselves, while also doing same to other people around them who may be in dear need of help. He added: “Though this @$ a thing like this, I will continue to do more in order to emancipate our people. I’m pleading with you to please use these things for the purpose for which they are given, which is to liberate yourselves from poverty.� ` Maimuna Fulani, who got a sewing machine, applauded the lawmaker for coming to her rescue, assuring that she would diligently use it to earn a living.

I love my child but his mother is driving me nuts

T

he mother of my daughter living with me as my wife (though I have not paid her bride price due to # _ has occasionally given me room to suspect her. She makes and even at 2am. When I ask her, she says they are just her friends. Now I’m confused because I love my child so much. Please should I ask her to pack and leave my poor house? Dickson, Gwagwalada - Abuja

Dickson, For starts, this woman is not your wife because you haven’t paid her bride price. Secondly, you have 1232453678594:6;5<=7>:;7?@:7B<2;7 ahead to have a child with her. Which one costs more - bride price or a child? That notwithstanding, it would make more sense if you try to pay this woman’s bride price. If you could get her pregnant, move her into your home; then she is probably good enough to be your wife. You don’t necessarily need to have a big wedding; just do the needful which is also the right thing because as it is, your child was born outside the 4@212<=7@J7K3LL53M<O7 ;7B@:687;<667 in the future. This might also be the reason she can easily keep male friends that call at 2am. However, it would be nice to trust her since she is the mother of your child. If you love your child, you would love the mother. Please don’t send her away the child needs its mother. More so, you need to engage in heart to heart talk and make her understand how X:L;7?@:7J<<673;7X<L73*5;:8<O7 X<7Z:=;7 might take you serious.

My wife can’t satisfy me

M

y wife is not good in bed. She cannot satisfy me ' }

% @ try, she just remained the way she is. What should I do? Ayo, Akure Ayo, Is there really any woman that is not good in sex? Have you discussed with her, told her how you feel about this? Could it be that your wife doesn’t like sex? So many women don’t, especially those who were not sexually active before marriage. Maybe her libido is low or yours is very high. It might also be that she doesn’t like the timing of your sexual encounters or how you do it. She might also have problems with arousal. You need to understand that most women

need to be wooed into romance - soft music, low lights and just the general relaxed atmosphere. You should also learn to warm her up for sex - send her romantic messages during the day, treat her with loving care, hold her hands, rub her hair; just play around her before the main act. The truth is that if your wife feels emotional distant from you, she might never be able to satisfy you sexually. Anything can prevent your wife from having good sex with you - this is why you need to talk to her about it. Every woman loves kisses. They love to be appreciated even if it is just for a good meal. Except she has some medical issues like vaginal or vulva dryness, painful intercourse or urinary tract infection, she B@:687=@@27M<;7><*<L73;7=<{|73287X@}<J:66?7 ><M527;@7=3;5=J?7?@:O7 <=;7@J76:4^_

he has two children from previous relationships, yet I still wish to marry her against people’s advice Bolade, Ipaja Bolade, You sounded like the two children are not even from one man. Howbeit, love is one strong factor that conquers every odd. If you love this woman, it is natural you go ahead and solemnize the relationship provided she loves you the way you love her. However, we must not fail to point out that it is not every time that people can be wrong. Have you considered the circumstance that led to her having two children for two separate fathers.

Judiciary Some lawyers aren’t fair to their clients – Ajibade (SAN) Ayodele Olalere

D

r. Babatunde Ajibade is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and is vast in company, insurance and banking laws. Called to the Bar in 1989, the SAN has gained extensive experience in corporate and commercial legal practice in Nigeria, and has been involved in the Nigerian capital market

securities, and merger and acquisition issues. He was also the pioneer secretary, vice chairman and former chairman of the Nigerian Capital Market Solicitors Association as well as vice chairman of the Rules and Regulations ? [X

% ? and Exchange Commission’s capital

4

% ' As a result of his professional dexterity, he was elevated to the rank of SAN in December, 2007; he was also awarded the International Practice Fellowship of the International Bar Association in Madrid in October, 2009. Having been in legal practice for the past 25 years, Dr. Ajibade told Saturday Newswatch at his plush # ` 4 ? experience has made him a jack of all trades and master of all. Said he: “I’ve been in practice for 25 years. My area of specialisation is dispute resolution; although, I also have a reasonable amount of experience on the corporate side, namely the capital market, corporate general corporate and commercial law. As a senior member of the Bar, he is not happy that many legal practitioners are merely concerned with milking them in resolving issues. He is of the opinion that many issues that take longer time to resolve by the law courts could have been resolved faster between parties without resorting to litigation. “Your utility as a lawyer is not just what you do in court. Your utility as a lawyer to your client is the quality of the advice you give, and I think, with the greatest respect to a number of my colleagues, the courts will be a lot less-congested and less busy if lawyers actually focus on giving Œ ' ‘ in court that ordinarily shouldn’t be in court at all because the facts are so clear. It’s obvious and I say this advisedly because I know that there are borderline instances where each side believes it has a good case. But there are so many cases where obviously are really no cases. Even the lawyer(s) who took such cases to court, if you ask me, have a question to answer. For instance, on what basis did you take this case to court? Let me give a typical example of a landlord and tenant issue. A landlord let you into his property, signed a tenancy agreement; the terms are clear but you breached those terms by not paying the rent for some years.

Politics Adamawa PDP in search of Nyako’s replacement Continued from Page 15

The former boss of the EFCC insists that he is on a mission to rescue the State and bring dividends of democracy to the door steps of the people and as such, would not be distracted “by any misguided elements.� Ribadu, through his spokesperson, Mr Mr. Phineas Elisha, toild Saturday Newswatch that he was not disturbed by some sponsored publications in the media accusing him of recruiting Nyako’s loyalists to his campaign organisation. Ribadu is not unmindful that some gubernatorial aspirants in the State have recruited columnists to propagate negativities and malicious stories against him ahead of the PDP primary, noting that the delegates will elect the party’s candidate in a democratic manner. With several pluses for Ribadu, his albatross might be his independentmindedness, which may rob him of his party’s support afterall. Said a source: “Ribadu has a mind of his own, and that’s not acceptable to several Nigerian politicians, especially in the face of godfatherism.� Political pundits in the State cannot also vouch for him to stay put in the party if he is evetually given the ticket. In advancing this cause, they look back to his short political trajectory. However, irrespective of what his detractors say, Ribadu remains a role model for Nigerian youths and future generations. As the EFCC chairman, he gave a good account of himself and his achievements were globally acknowledged, with the prestigious World Bank’s 2008 Jit Gill Memorial Award for Outstanding Public Service. However, what may ultimately work

Dr. Umar Ardo Jada Ardo is an old politician who has contested three consecutive times for the party’s gubernatorial primary but has always ended up in a controversy. He is the only politician in Adamawa State that gave ousted Governor Nyako tough time, having challenged the primary that produced Nyako as a candidate and later the governor. He has the backing of the party stakeholders for the role he played in Nyako’s impeachment and the formation ? $ 4

% ' He was history teacher at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna. Ardo initiated the formation of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON). The reason ALGON was created was to empower local government chairmen and make them independent. A factor working against him is that some of the chieftains of the PDP do not want him in the contest because of his principles. Gen. Buba Mohammed Marwa Marwa was at various times Military Administrator of Lagos and Borno States. He not too long ago decamped from the APC to the PDP with thousands of his supporters. He is known as the gateway to the new PDP in the State because of the prominent role he played during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s determination to take the party structure from loyalists of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Marwa was in the PDP presidential race in 2006 but lost to the eventual winner, now deceased Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. In 2007, he was appointed Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the Republic of South Africa.

/Gulak Marwa, in 2011 contested, the PDP governorship primary with Nyako. Though he was presumed winner, he was allegedly schemed out. After wide consultation with his supporters, Marwa defected to the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) where he was given the party’s ticket to contest against Nyako, but he still lost. However, Brigadier Marwa is the only aspirant that has governed three of other aspirants.

Although, political observers believe that Auwal may spring surprise this time in the party primary since his father is likely to throw his political weight behind him. The only weapon his opponents have against him is that he is the son of Dr. Bamanga Tukur. But it is not Awwal’s making that Tukur is his father.

what it means to be a party man more than ever now. We are not scared of Mimiko; we are not scared of a man whose loyalty to his political party is not stable. Again, I have known him for a while. There is nothing Mimiko can chase again in this country. His dream was to be governor; he has been governor. If he wants to be president his party cannot make him a president. So, he is either to come to the PDP or die with the LP. The way Mimiko has administered Ondo State has taken away every credibility that the LP can ever lay claim to, in the sense that, owes over N75 billion as at the last count. This is a state that had a credit of over N55 billion when he became its governor. Again, we have seen so many ongoing projects in the state since Mimiko became governor

and none of the projects has been completed. We do not see Mimiko standing on our ways to get to the Government House. As far as I’m concerned, he is a politician whose charm ' @

% us when we take our decisions and I am sure that the President will stand by his party. Who is likely to emerge as the candidate for the 2016 governorship election in Ondo State? As it is, we have so many candidates coming out and all who have ambition belong to the party. The party at this stage cannot be taking side with any of them. We want to see how serious they are by moving the party forward in the state. There are lot of famous people in the state that want to be governor. There is Barrister Ibrahim who is out now doing some positive things to unite members of

the party in Ondo State. Also, we have Chief Olusola Oke who wants to contest again and many like that from the Northern Senatorial District areas of the state. The very best of them, I believe, will lead the party to win the 2016 governorship election. Don’ t you think that the failure of your party to win the recent governorship election in Osun State might be a major setback to the PDP as it warms up to wrestle power from the LP government in Ondo State? We do not see it as a setback. Rather, we see it as victory for democracy. Either we like it or not, we must commend President Jonathan for allowing the votes of the people to count in Nigeria. If somebody like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had been the president of Nigeria, I am sure he won’t mind whether the candidate

of his party losses. He will tell the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare his candidate winner of the election. I continue to give President Jonathan credit for being a democrat and continuing to stay strong on his desire that elections must be conducted in a free and fair manner. So, I do not see it as setback for our party supporters in Ondo State. Some groups, both in the Diaspora and Nigeria, have been calling on President Jonathan to declare his second term ambition. Do you consider this development as good gesture to the nation’s democracy as some are now seeing such a move as undemocratic due to the ongoing search of the abducted Chibok girls? It is the fundamental right of the President to contest the election once again. I must also

say that every citizen of Nigeria has a fundamental right too to challenge President Jonathan that he wants to contest the 2015 presidential election. Again, the security challenges are a global problem, where terrorism is now seen as a way to destabilise the world. I will say that the crises we are facing today is not restricted to Nigeria.

Commercialising National ID card project Felix Asimole

T

he Federal Government’s National Identity Card project may turn out to be one of those white elephant projects that never saw the light of day, or at best have run into a hitch, gulping more money than originally budgeted. The signs are clear that millions of Nigerians are not aware that an important project of that magnitude is going on in the country. It is almost as if it is being done secretly to prevent some people from acquiring the new National ID card. In Lagos State, for instance, the people are more aware of the registration of the Lagos State Residents (LASRA) exercise still ongoing in the state despite the Federal Government and the Council of State’s ban on registration of Nigerians by state governments. Of all the Lagos Development Council Areas (LDCAs) visited, especially in the Agege/AgbadoOke-Odo axis, only one local government branch at Orile Agege Development Council is issuing forms for the National Identity Card registration.

When prodded to disclose the source of the forms, one of them became abusive: “Oga go away if you don’t want to buy.

Registration fee reduction brightens MSMEs future The economy of Asia, Europe and America has been grown by the activities of Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs). The same can’t be said of Nigeria which faces many challenges. However, with President Goodluck Jonathan’s 60 percent reduction in their registration fees, hope seems to return to the sector.

Ukraine’s economy thrives on liberalisation of price Eric Elezuo with Agency report

U

kraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It has an area of 603,628 km2 (233,062 sq mi), making it the largest country entirely within Europe. Ukraine borders Russia to the east and northeast, Belarus to the northwest, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest, and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south and southeast, respectively. The territory of Ukraine has been inhabited for at least 44,000 years, and is the prime candidate site for the domestication of the horse and for the origins of the Indo-European language family. Ukraine has long been a global breadbasket because of its extensive, fertile farmlands. In 2011, it was the world’s third-largest grain exporter with that year’s harvest being much larger than average. Ukraine is one of the ten most attractive agricultural land acquisition regions. The country also has a well-developed manufacturing sector, particularly in aerospace and industrial equipment. Ukraine is a unitary republic under a semipresidential system with separate powers: legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Its capital and largest city is Kiev. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine continues to maintain the second-largest military in Europe, after that of Russia, when reserves and paramilitary personnel are taken into account. The country is home to 45.4 million people (including Crimea), 77.8% of whom are Ukrainians by ethnicity, and with a sizable minority of Russians (17%), as well as Romanians/Moldavians, Belarusians, Crimean Tatars and Hungarians. Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine; its alphabet is Cyrillic. Russian is also still widely spoken. The dominant religion in the country is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which has strongly influenced Ukrainian architecture, literature and music. In Soviet times, the economy of Ukraine was the second largest in the Soviet Union, being an important industrial and agricultural component of the country’s planned economy. With the dissolution of the Soviet system, the country moved from a planned economy to a market economy. The transition process was difficult for the majority of the population which plunged into poverty. Ukraine’s economy contracted severely following the years after the Soviet dissolution. Day-to-day life for the average person living in Ukraine was a struggle. A significant number of citizens in rural Ukraine survived by growing their own food, often working two or more jobs, and buying the basic necessities through the barter economy. In 1991, the government liberalised most prices to combat widespread product shortages, and was successful in overcoming the problem. At the same time, the government continued to subsidise state-run industries and agriculture by uncovered monetary emission. The loose monetary policies of the early 1990s pushed inflation to hyperinflationary levels. For the year 1993, Ukraine holds the world record for inflation in one calendar year. Those living on fixed incomes suffered the most. Prices stabilised only after the introduction of new currency, the hryvnia, in 1996. The country was also slow in implementing structural reforms. Following independence, the government formed a legal framework for privatisation. However, widespread resistance to reforms within the government and from a significant part of the population soon stalled the reform efforts. A large number of stateowned enterprises were exempted from the

privatisation process. In the meantime, by 1999, the GDP had fallen to less than 40% of the 1991 level. It recovered considerably in the following years, but as at 2014 had yet to reach the historical maximum. In the early 2000s, the economy showed strong export-based growth of 5 to 10%, with industrial production growing more than 10% per year. Ukraine was hit by the economic crisis of 2008 and in November 2008, the IMF approved a stand-by loan of $16.5 billion for the country. Ukraine’s 2010 GDP (PPP), as calculated by the CIA, is ranked 38th in the world and estimated at $305.2 billion. Its GDP per capita in 2010 according to the CIA was $6,700 (in PPP terms), ranked 107th in the world. Nominal GDP (in U.S. dollars, calculated at market exchange rate) was $136 billion, ranked 53rd in the world. By July 2008, the average nominal salary in Ukraine reached 1,930 hryvnias per month. Despite remaining lower than in neighbouring central European countries, the salary income growth in 2008 stood at 36.8% According to the UNDP in 2003, 4.9% of the Ukrainian population lived under two US dollars a day and 19.5% of the population lived below the national poverty line that same year. According to the World Bank, in 2010, only 0.1% of population lived under two US dollar a day. Since independence, Ukraine has maintained its own space agency, the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU). Ukraine became an active participant in scientific space exploration and remote sensing missions. Between 1991 and 2007, Ukraine has launched six self made satellites and 101 launch vehicles, and continue to design spacecraft. The country imports most energy supplies, especially oil and natural gas and to a large extent depends on Russia as its energy supplier. While 25% of the natural gas in Ukraine comes from internal sources, about 35% comes from Russia and the remaining 40% from Central Asia through transit routes that Russia controls. At the same time, 85% of the Russian gas is delivered to Western Europe through Ukraine. The World Bank classifies Ukraine as a middle-income state. Significant issues include underdeveloped infrastructure and transportation, corruption and bureaucracy. The public will to fight against corrupt officials and business elites culminated in a strong wave of public demonstrations against the Victor Yanukovych’s regime in November 2013. In 2007, the Ukrainian stock market recorded the second highest growth in the world of 130 percent. According to the CIA, in 2006, the market capitalisation of the Ukrainian stock market was $111.8 billion. Growing sectors of the Ukrainian economy include the information technology (IT) market, which topped all other Central and Eastern European countries in 2007, growing some 40 percent. Ukraine ranks fourth in the world in number of certified IT professionals after the United States, India and Russia. The development of the Ukraine-Nigeria trade and economic relations is notable by stability and tendency to the growth of volumes of trade turnover. Ukraine considers Nigeria as one of its key partners in Africa. The World Bank and the IFC experts have acknowledged tremendous progress of Ukraine in simplifying conditions for doing business. Having leaped 25 positions since last year, the country is ranked 112 among 189 economies in the Doing Business 2014 report. Ukraine has implemented regulatory reforms for local entrepreneurs in eight areas out of 10 between June 2012 and June 2013. Ukraine has improved the most over the past year in making it easier to run a business. Ukraine’s growth in the ease of doing business ranking started when the country jumped 15 positions to 137 from 152. In 2012-2013, Ukraine has advanced by another 25 positions

Kiev, Ukraine

to become the top improver. In the first quarter of 2013, foreign investors invested almost USD 1.6 billion – 76 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2012. Ukraine received the highest ranking (13th place) for the ease of getting a loan, surpassing Brazil, and following Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. The biggest progress in the starting a business category Ukraine obtained by eliminating the requirement for registration with the State Statistics Service and by eliminating the cost for value added tax registration. The Eastern European country also simplified construction permit issuance and registration of real estate ownership rights. Foreign investors can consider the following options for entering the Ukrainian market: Direct sales Agency and commission arrangements Joint venture with a Ukrainian partner Representative office and Ukrainian subsidiary The choice made by the foreign investors is usually motivated by the incorporation and maintenance costs (if any), as well as the legal and tax risks involved. Dos in Ukraine DO greet with a strong handshake along with direct eye contact. DO know the more informal greetings. Close female friends will cheek kiss three times, starting with the left cheek. Close male friends pat each other on the back and hug. DO understand that feminism is a little behind in Ukraine. Men will usually hold a door open for women, pour their drinks, light their cigarettes, etc. DO comply with dress code in churches (women should cover their heads when entering Orthodox churches; no above knee skirts for women and no hats for men) DO bring a gift such as dessert, wine, flowers or something from your hometown if you are invited into a Ukrainian household. However, avoid yellow flowers (yellow is considered a colour of separation) or bouquets of flowers in an even number. Even numbers of flowers are for funerals. DO take your shoes off upon entering DO partake in toasts. Toasting is a very important part of Ukraine’s social culture. Don’ts in Ukraine DON’T confuse Ukraine with Russia or Ukrainians with Russians. DON’T shake hands with gloves on. Remove

them first. DON’T be offended if a person asks how much you earn. Don’t complain about having no money to pay your bills, though, - it’s considered to be rude DON’T wear shorts and a t-shirt at a church, theatre, concert, or an upscale restaurant, and remember to take your hat off indoors. DON’T ever hand anything or shake hands over a threshold. It’s considered really bad luck. DON’T open a gift upon receipt. Open it later. DON’T give handkerchiefs, mirrors or sharp objects as presents. If you decide to give a purse or a wallet, then remember to put some money in it first. DON’T congratulate someone or celebrate a birthday before the day arrives, it is tradition to celebrate it on the day or after. DON’T refuse a dish. Try everything and save room for seconds. Turning down food could be seen as rude. DON’T suggest that salo is unhealthy. DON’T refuse to drink vodka at a funeral banquet. It is absolutely unacceptable. DON’T whistle while indoors. It is considered quite rude, and it is believed that you will lose a large amount of money soon after. DON’T put your feet on the furniture. DON’T make a fist with your thumb in between your middle and index finger. It’s considered a very vulgar gesture. DON’T gesture to someone with your index finger. That is only acceptable if beckoning a little kid or a dog.

Why bats fly by night A

bush rat called Oyot was a great friend of Emiong, the bat; they always fed together, but the bat was jealous of the bush rat. When the bat cooked the food it was always very good, and the bush rat said, “How is it that when you make the soup it is so tasty?� The bat replied, “I always boil myself in the so sweet that the soup is good.� He then told the bush rat that he would show him how it was done; so he got a pot of warm water, which he told the bush rat was boiling water, and jumped into it, and very shortly afterwards came out again. When the soup was brought, it was as strong and good as usual, as the bat had prepared it beforehand. The bush rat then went

home and told his wife that he was going to make good soup like the bat’s. He therefore, told her to boil some water, which she did. Then, when his wife was not looking, he jumped into the pot, and was very soon dead. When his wife looked into the pot and saw the dead body of her husband boiling she was very angry, and reported

% 4 who gave orders that the bat should be made a prisoner. Every one turned out to catch the bat, but as he expected the bush and hid himself. All day long the people tried to catch him, so he had to change his habits, and only came out to feed when it was dark, and that is why you never see a bat in the daytime.

V is for Vampire Bat Fact: The Vampire Bat is a small species of Bat, native to the tropics of Central and South America. There are three recognised sub-species of Vampire Bat, all of which are in a genus of their own despite their obvious similarities. The Common Vampire Bat, the Hairy-Legged Vampire Bat and the White-Winged Vampire Bat are all closely related and share the same unique feeding habits, as they are the only known mammals that feed entirely on blood. Over time, Vampire Bats have perfectly adapted to the consumption of their only food source, with a leaf-like heat sensor closest to the skin.

The wasp is found in all the countries in the world, on every continent with the exception of the polar regions. There are around 75,000 recognized species of wasp worldwide that grow to around 2/3 inch long. The wasp is most commonly known for its poisonous sting. If a human is stung, it can often swell into a painful lump that takes a few days to soothe. Some people are allergic to wasp stings meaning the wasp sting can be fatal.
