lilprinze: tankz to Jonathan 4 keeping hiz promises d election ws free and fair nw lets here what dose so called ACP r going to accuse pdp of nw

am sure you meant "APC"

Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun state, has been
returned for a second term. He defeated closest
challenger, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Iyiola
Omisore.
To emerge winner, Mr. Aregbesola polled a total of
394,684 votes, winning the highest number of votes in
22 of the 30 Local Government Areas of the state.
His closest challenger, Iyiola Omisore of the Peoples
Democratic Party [PDP] polled 292,747 votes to come
second. He won in eight local government areas.
The candidate of the Labour Party [LP], Fatai Akinbade,
polled 8,898 votes to come a distant third.
Mr. Aregbesola won in Ayedade, Ifelodun, Ede North, Ola
Oluwa, Irepodun, Ila Orangun, Ede South, Atakumosa
West, Oriade, Orolu, Boripe and Ilesa West.
The APC candidate also breasted the tape in Ilesa East,
Ifedayo, Irewole, Obokun, Egbedore, Iwo, Osogbo,
Olorunda, Atakumosa East and Ejigbo.
Mr. Omisore on his part took the lead in Isokan, Ife
North, Ife East, Ife Central, Odo Otin, Boluwaduro,
Ayedire and Ife South.
Aregbesola’s second coming is different from his first in
many ways. Having contested the 2007 governorship
election on the platform of the Action Congress, one of
the legacy parties that gave birth to the All Progressives
Congress (APC), he had to fight his way through the
courts until 2010 when he was sworn in on the orders of
the Federal Appeal Court sitting in Ibadan. Interestingly,
his opponent in the 2007 election, Chief Olagunsoye
Oyinlola of the PDP, defected from the PDP to join
Aregbesola’s campaign train in the run up to the 2014
election.
In May 2008, Aregbesola called over 100 witnesses and
tendered 168 exhibits in his petition before the Election
Petitions Tribunal, alleging violence and ballot box
stuffing in the election. In an October 2008 interview, he
described Oyinlola as “a bully who came from a
reactionary military arm.” As is often said, in politics,
there are no permanent friends or foes, only permanent
interests.
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has had his fair share of
controversies. He was arrested in August 2009 for
involvement in the alleged forgery of a police report on
the conduct of the elections that brought in Olagunsoye
Oyinlola. But that was just one episode in the many of
such dramas that coloured the landscape in his march
towards the Osun state Government House. He was
summoned again by the police in August 2010 to make
a statement about a 14 June 2007 bomb explosion near
the ministry of water resources. Aregbesola denied any
involvement, stating that he was in Abuja at the time.
Despite his controversial nature, an attribute that is
understandable considering his activist background, so
many achievements have endeared the school-uniform-
wearing governor to the people, giving him legit ‘street
cred’. These include, among others:
- 40,000 Youths Employed under the Osun Youth
Empowerment Scheme.
- 5,000 Youths trained and empowered in
information communication technology under the
Osun Youth Empowerment Technology
(OYESTECH).
- Over N2.4 billion injected to the economy as
allowances for the OYES Volunteers
- 123 kilometres of waterways (streams, arteries,
canals) dredged to keep the state flood-free for
three years.
- 750,000 school students provided with school
uniforms free of charge. These uniforms were produced
by 3,000 tailors who were empowered by the governor.
- 150,000 students provided with computer tablets
(opon imo), an electronic learning tool preloaded
with 17 subjects, 54 textbooks, and past questions
of JAMB, WAEC AND NECO of the past 10years
- Primary School Funding Grants increased from
N7.4 million to N424 million a year
- 240,000 children fed daily with nutritious
meals under the Osun Elementary School Feeding
and Health Programme coupled with empowerment
of over 3,000 caterers.
- Secondary School basic funding grants from
N171 million to N427 million per year
- Tuition Fees in State-owned Tertiary
Institutions reduced by 30%
- Internally Generated Revenue(IGR) increased
from N300 million to N700 million without
increasing tax payable by citizens.
- Building of the largest commercial apiary in
Sub-Saharan Africa for refined honey production
- Building of super highways to connect Osun to
Lagos and Osun to Kwara States
- Over 3,000 permanent teachers employed into
the state education sector.
- Osun Ambulance Service Authority Established
with 400 youths trained as paramedics
It is not surprising, therefore, that the people of Osun
state came out en masse to vote for Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola for a second term as governor of the state.
Osun was one state the APC couldn’t afford to lose
after the party’s drubbing in Ekiti two months prior.
That upset provided some rude awakening for the APC
rank and file; a political party whose stronghold has
become near impregnable in Nigeria’s South West
region for a few years yet.

Africa’s leading artiste, Davido has finally opened up on his purported beef with Wizkid and why he went on twitter to throw shade.
He spoke to Sahara TV on Tuesday and threw light
on the issue.
He said, “It’s not beef at all, but I’m the type of
person who believes that if I matter to you, then it is
wrong to hit your brother down. The only reason I
was upset was because of the NY concert. I was
even going to tweet something like ‘Everybody, make
sure you turn up for my brother, Wiz kid’s concert’
but he threw a shade on me like that.
“That’s why I went and said what I said (on
twitter). But it’s all cool. At the end of the day, we
got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I’m
still a big fan…but don’t throw a shade at me,
especially when we were on the same flight earlier.
“By the way, check the numbers on my last concert.
Let’s leave it like that.”

VICTORCIZA: Height of joblessness!!!

A group yesterday called on Nigerians in Diaspora to
prepare for a protest against President Goodluck
Jonathan in Washington DC.
The Executive Director, Gatekeepers Foundation,
Blessing Agbomhere, made the call in a statement in
Abuja.
Agbomhere said the protest became necessary due to
the inability of the Jonathan’s administration to secure
the lives and property of Nigerians.
He said the protest was meant to demand immediate
rescue of the over 200 girls in Boko Haram’s captivity
since April and the recovery of the $20billion oil revenue
unaccounted for by the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).
The statement, entitled: “President Goodluck’s visit to
the US: A call for massive protests”, reads in part: “This
is calling on all patriotic Nigerians and Gatekeepers
Foundation Volunteers in the United State of America
with committed interest in the growth and development
of our country to come out enmasse to protest rallies
holding in Washington DC to demand that President
Goodluck Jonathan Bring Back Our Girls Alive and bring
back our US$20billion or resign.
“The protest has become necessary as a result of the
insincerity of the Jonathan-led government in providing
security of lives and property in the country, while
deliberately perpetuating and protecting corruption and
corrupt government officials.
“Therefore, we call on Nigerians in Diaspora, especially
in the US, to come out with their placards to occupy the
streets of Washington DC until President Goodluck is
ready to Bring Back Our Girls Alive and Our US$20
Billion or resign.”

BY FEMI OGUNYEMI
A GOVERNMENT official once told me : ” You people
(doctors) should do as we say; after all we pay your
salaries”.
And a colleague once said to me: “They (government)
should just give us what we want.”
Both are wrong; and herein lies the locus of persistent
conflict.
Government’s action impinges on ALL doctors, including
those whose salary they don’t pay.
And my colleague would be better served in getting
what “has been agreed” rather than what he “wants”.
Subtle differences but key to understanding the nature
of negotiation.
It reminds me of advice a Professor gave me many
years ago regarding negotiating employment contracts
in new jobs: “Meet YOUR needs by making the other
party happy that you’ve met THEIR needs”. Everyone
wins. Tricky, but it works.
Why do doctors strike?
Contrary to what some might think, doctors do have a
right to strike. According to the ILO, every worker does.
The impact of such a strike on the community, economy
and the profession itself is severe, especially in
developing countries like Nigeria. All stakeholders and
involved groups must take an ethical approach and
share a moral obligation to put society first.
An empty ward in a Lagos owned hospital due to the
strike by the medical doctors
There are three main reasons why doctors strike:
*Medical practice, and the doctor-patient relationship
continues to change. Patient care decision-making, in
both public and private practice, is now shared between
employer requirements, patient demands, insurance
companies, other third party payers, and government
regulations. The doctor is no more the sole determinant
of patient care and there is some frustration from this
disempowerment. Doctors have become like any other
employee who must sometimes negotiate wages and
compensation to meet personal economic needs.
*Doctors may have a genuine dissatisfaction with
inadequate facilities, drugs, and lack of support from
employers and elected government officials. Non-
physicians often quote the Hippocratic Oath: “The
health of my patient will be my first consideration” as a
reason that doctors should NOT go on strike. In fact,
when doctors feel they are unable to provide safe and
effective care for their patients, the Oath may be the
exact reason they should strike; the “first, do no harm”
principle.
*The failure of government and employers to honour
collective bargaining agreements, CBAs, for improved
wages and conditions of service is a major crucial
reason in Nigeria. A signed MOU is an agreement; a
pact. Failure, refusal or delay in implementation breeds
distrust and a perception of a lack of commitment. This
not only presents immediate conflict but prejudices
future negotiations.
The NMA had listed 24 “demands” of government. I had
planned to address each of these issues in this article
but will defer that for now.
However, having written three reviews (Vanguard
Newspapers April/May 2014) on the National Health Bill
2014, I must reiterate that this Bill MUST NOT be
signed by President Goodluck Jonathan in its present
form.
The NMA should actually take a lead role in its public
review!
Nine of the 24 “demands” appear to be directly related
to what I call SCC, that is Salaries, Compensation and
Conditions of service. These are @3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14,
17 and 21.
The problem for doctors is that their SCC is lumped
together with the rest of the civil service as they are
considered by government to be like any other “public
service employee”.
There is an inherent mistake in this philosophy. A doctor
is not something you do, it is something you are!
This is why it is so much more difficult for doctors to
simply discontinue practising medicine, and it makes
them susceptible to exploitation in negotiations.
How to end doctors strikes (FOREVER) in Nigeria
*The establishment of a clearly defined, mutually agreed
condition of service for doctors, is the single most
dramatic step in halting doctors strikes in Nigeria.
The UK NHS is the biggest government run health
service in the world. There is a distinct code of service
for doctors, entirely separate from the civil service.
Let’s look at the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service
Handbook. There are seven parts.
Part 2 deals with PAY: pay structure, maintaining round
the clock services, overtime payments, pay in high cost
areas, recruitment and retention premia, career and pay
progression.
Part 3 deals with Terms and Conditions of Service:
hours of the working week, part time employees and
fixed time contracts, contractual continuity of care,
annual leave and general public holidays, sickness
absence, maternity leave and pay, redundancy pay,
travel cost reimbursement, subsistence allowances,
mutually agreed (their words) resignation schemes,
whistleblowing and injury allowance.
One can see from the above why there was no doctors
strike in the UK for 37 years! After a strike in 1975, that
of June 2012 was a mere 24 hour revolt to highlight
pension disagreements.
*Legitimate Collective Bargaining Agreements, CBAs,
must be respected and implemented in a timely manner.
The courts, and mutually agreed arbitration panels,
must be involved.
*The importance of ethics must be integrated into the
profession, the government and employers. ALL parties
have a moral obligation to society.
* The profession must resist the impulse to make
economic demands beyond the capacity of the employer
(government) or which could hinder the provision of
other services like education or public utilities. Doctors
have a duty of care to patients, while government has a
duty of care to the public. Fortunately, or unfortunately,
they are one and the same. Some demands may also
require legislation by the National Assembly; this will
take time.
* Government should resist the urge to arbitrarily call
certain groups of workers as “essential services” so as
to deny them a right to strike. In fact, if such workers
are considered “essential” then they deserve a separate
mechanism of pay and service conditions.
* Both parties must put forward trained and skilled
negotiators.
* Government must avoid threats of unjustifiable
disciplinary action.
* The media, TV, newspapers, radio, and social media is
crucial to ALL parties in communicating with the general
public. To garner public support and understanding,
disagreements and agreements must be transparent.
* The NMA should embark on a major membership drive
to include ALL registered Nigerian doctors. These
members should be regularly surveyed, balloted and
informed on all matters being discussed on their behalf.
* Finally the MDCN, the doctors’ regulatory body, has a
duty in restoration of respect to the profession. There is
a feeling that professional standing may have been
diminished by repeated strikes in the past. The MDCN
can encourage and accredit more CPD activities in the
fields of management and administration. They can
design and monitor a code of standards of good
medical practice in Nigeria.

Louis van Gaal believes it is Manchester United while
Toni Kroos thinks Real Madrid - but which team do you
think is the greatest in modern football?
What makes a club the biggest club in the world? Is it
one with the best players, with the greatest prestige or
with the most money?
New Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal claimed at
his opening press conference that he had joined the
biggest club in the world this summer, but an hour or so
later midfielder Toni Kroos said the same thing at his
Real Madrid unveiling .
Manchester United certainly have one of the most
widespread fanbases on the planet but - on the back of
finishing outside of a European spot in the Premier
League last season - can they still be considered the
biggest team around?
Bayern Munich's popularity, financial weight and star
quality has rocketed in the past couple of years and
they are widely considered to have one of the strongest
squads, but does Real Madrid's destruction of them in
the Champions League last season weaken any claims?
Speaking of Madrid, their rivals Barcelona can hardly be
ignored when it comes to discussions about who is the
top side on the globe, although their dominance
domestically and continentally has waned in the past
couple of campaigns.
AC Milan, Juventus and Inter will all undoubtedly believe
that their historical prestige gives them the upper hand,
but Serie A is not quite the same beast it once once.
Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Manchester City do
not have the same history as the aforementioned Italian
giants - and even Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea only
have one Champions League win between them - but do
their overflowing bank accounts work in their favour.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Chief Executive
Officer Satya Nadella kicked off one of the largest
layoffs in tech history on Thursday, hoping to
reshape the aging PC industry titan into a nimbler
rival to Apple and Google, and jolt a culture at the
company that is used to protecting its existing
Windows and Office franchises.
Microsoft Corp said on Thursday it will slash up to
18,000 jobs, or 14 percent of its workforce, over the
next 12 months as it almost halves the size of its
newly acquired Nokia phone business and tries to
become a cloud-computing and mobile-friendly
software company.
The larger-than-expected cuts are the deepest in the
software giant's 39-year history and come five
months into Nadella's tenure.
Beyond the Nokia reductions, Nadella gave few clues
about where the ax will fall or what areas will
receive more funding.
One source briefed on the cuts said a major victim
would be the 175-strong Xbox Entertainment Studios
unit, which will start to wind down efforts to create
original content. But it will continue to work on its
highest-profile project, a filmed version of the
blockbuster 'Halo' videogame.
Nadella said he will answer questions from
employees at a town hall meeting at Microsoft
headquarters in Redmond, Washington, on Friday
and flesh out his plans publicly after Microsoft's
quarterly earnings report on July 22.
"We will simplify the way we work to drive greater
accountability, become more agile and move faster,"
Nadella wrote to employees in a memo made public
early Thursday. "We plan to have fewer layers of
management, both top down and sideways, to
accelerate the flow of information and decision
making."
The size of the cuts were welcomed by Wall Street,
which was critical of the Nokia acquisition and
viewed Microsoft as bloated under previous CEO
Steve Ballmer, topping 127,000 in staff after
absorbing Nokia earlier this year.
"This is about double what the Street was
expecting," said Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR
Capital Markets. "Nadella is clearing the decks for
the new fiscal year. He is cleaning up part of the
mess that Ballmer left."
Microsoft shares rose 1.8 percent to $44.88 on
Nasdaq, reaching their highest since the technology
stock boom of 2000.
About 12,500 of the layoffs will come from
eliminating overlaps with the Nokia unit, which
Microsoft acquired in April for $7.2 billion (4.20
billion pounds), with the bulk of the cuts coming
from Nokia itself. The acquisition of Nokia's handset
business in April added 25,000 people to Microsoft's
payroll.
The Nokia-related cuts were widely expected. When
it struck the deal, Microsoft said it would cut $600
million per year in costs within 18 months of closing
the acquisition.
Excluding the Nokia cuts, the remaining 5,500 layoffs
were not as shocking as it first appeared, said Sid
Parakh, an analyst at McAdams Wright Ragen.
"The aggregate number is still bigger than expected
but it's not as big as it comes across," he said.
"There's going to be a lot of re-hiring in other areas
of the business. On a net basis, the numbers are
small."
Microsoft's campus appears to have escaped heavy
cuts, at least for now. The first wave of layoffs
include 1,351 jobs in the Seattle region, Microsoft
said.
About 1,100 jobs will be cut from Nokia's original
home country of Finland, according to government
and union representatives there, with about half
coming from the closure of its research and
development operation in the northern city of Oulu.
Stephen Elop, the former CEO of Nokia who now
runs Microsoft's devices unit, said phone engineering
efforts will now be concentrated in Salo and
Tampere, Finland, and it will reduce engineering work
in Beijing and San Diego.
He said phone manufacturing will be focused in
Hanoi, Vietnam, with some production to continue in
Beijing and Dongguan, China. Some Microsoft
manufacturing and repair operations will be moved
to Manaus, Brazil and Reynosa, Mexico, as it winds
down operations in Komaron, Hungary.
The EU's employment commissioner said he has
asked to meet with Microsoft to discuss the social
impact of the layoffs.
As part of the integration of Nokia, Microsoft is
abandoning its experiment in making phones
powered by Google's Android system, moving some
of its Nokia X line of phones onto Windows phone
software.
The company said it expects to take pretax charges
of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion over the next four
quarters to account for the costs of the layoffs.
Nadella's cuts are the biggest at the Redmond,
Washington-based company since Ballmer axed
5,800, or about 6 percent of headcount, in the depths
of the recession in early 2009.
The new CEO's moves are designed to help
Microsoft shift from being a primarily software-
focused company to one that sells online services,
apps and devices it hopes will make people and
businesses more productive. Nadella needs to make
Microsoft a stronger competitor to Google and Apple
Inc, which have dominated the new era of mobile-
centric computing.
Marking this change of emphasis, Nadella last week
rebranded Microsoft as "the productivity and
platform company for the mobile-first and cloud-first
world."
Microsoft is not alone among the pioneers of the
personal computer revolution now slimming down to
adapt to the Web-focused world.
PC-maker Hewlett-Packard Co is in the midst of a
radical three-to-five-year plan that will lop up to
50,000 from its staff of 250,000.
International Business Machines Corp is undergoing
a "workforce rebalancing," which analysts say could
mean 13,000, or about 3 percent of its staff, being
laid off or transferred to new owners as units are
sold.
Chipmaker Intel Corp and network equipment maker
Cisco Systems Inc both said in the past year they
were cutting about 5 percent of their staff.

Former Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako
remained defiant yesterday, saying he is ready to defend
his integrity.
Security agencies and the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) are after Nyako, who was
impeached in hazy circumstances on Tuesday, but he
remains in high spirits, according to an aide.
Nyako is accused by Acting Governor Umaru Fintiri of
plunging the state into a N6billion debt.
He said the loans he took, including the controversial
N6billion, were approved by the House of Assembly.
Also yesterday, The Nation learnt that former Deputy
Governor Bala James Ngillari was under pressure to go
to court to seek his reinstatement as acting governor
“because he was forced to resign”.
Nyako, who spoke through his Director of Press and
Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajoh, said he had nothing to hide
on his tenure.
He said: “Admiral Murtala Nyako is ready to defend
himself on any allegation in an open court and under a
fair system.
“But he said in a system where impunity is the order of
the day, he cannot get a fair hearing. How do you
expect a goat to get fair hearing in a court presided over
by wolves?”
On the alleged N6billion debt left behind by Nyako
administration, Nyako’s spokesman said: “The Acting
Governor has not even settled down; he has not been
briefed by those in charge and he is declaring debts of
about N6billion.
“This shows that the Acting Governor is acting a script.
We knew the script was written long ago; they will
release sleaze materials to vilify Nyako. That is why
they have sent security agents and EFCC operatives
after him to cast aspersion on Admiral Nyako.
“If Nyako left N6billion debt, all the loans or debts were
approved by the House of Assembly, which was
presided over by the Acting Governor in his capacity as
the Speaker. So, you can see that they are acting a
script.
“The whole thing borders on what Nyako said about
how President Goodluck Jonathan is tackling the
insurgency in the country. They were not happy and
they decided to remove him from office. But is he not
being vindicated now?”
Ngillari’s plan to go to court is believed to have the
backing of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief, including some
National Assembly members.
The plot will lead to Fintiri’s removal.
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that some
stakeholders were unhappy that Ngilari was forced to
resign without following the provision of the 1999
Constitution. A source said: “Ngillari was either forced
or frightened to write the resignation letter by members
of the House of Assembly.
“But they shot themselves in the foot when they asked
him to write the resignation letter to the Speaker,
instead of the governor.
“What happened was that Ngillari, on Tuesday, wrote
the governor on his resignation from office.
“But in their desperation to remove the former governor,
the House of Assembly asked Ngilari to write the
Speaker directly because Nyako was in Abuja and it
would take time for him to communicate Ngillari’s
decision to the Assembly.
“Ngilari withdrew the resignation letter he sent to the
governor and wrote a fresh one to the Speaker, which
was a violation of Section 306(5) of 1999 Constitution.”
Sajoh had in a statement said: “We wish to state
categorically that Section 306 (5) of the constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended
requires that the deputy resign not to the House of
Assembly but to the Governor. As at the time the
supposed resignation was said to have been tendered in
the House, Murtala H. Nyako was the governor of
Adamawa State.
“No such was written to him, none was received by him
and none was approved by him. It should, therefore, be
known that in the eyes of the law, the deputy governor
has not resigned. Barrister Bala James Ngillari is still
the Deputy Governor of Adamawa State.
“This clarification is necessary to avert another
subversion of the constitution, since the order processes
relating to the impeachment saga have all been in
contravention of the constitution and the law. We wish
to observe that the continued abuse of the constitution
and the law of the land will spell doom for our
democracy.”

Decibel: If you like be at his front. What I know is that the Edo State shoe shiner MUST go

shoe shiner?

wecan: So the best option for you is to join the Northerners who will kill your people to take what they have and those who remain will suffer it most. The agony you are about to bring to your people is worst. So man have patient with your brother it's not too late

you can't be so sure of that

The National Leadership of the All Progressive Congress
(APC) has condemned the act of impunity, indiscipline
and political rascality by members of the People
Democratic Party (PDP) in the Edo State House of
Assembly, saying that such actions negate the rule of
law and must not be seen to be rewarded.
The National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie
Oyegun disclosed this Monday when he led some
National Leaders of the Party on a solidarity visit to the
governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole at Government
House, Benin City.
He said, “After due considerations at a meeting held on
Friday, we decided that it was immediate and urgent
that we pay a visit to you, to come and tell you and of
course the Legislators that we know what you have
been passing through, we understand and we are glad
with the way you have been managing what you have
been going through.
“This kind of rascality and indiscipline must not be seen
to be rewarded. Against all odds, you have remained
firm and this is the spirit of the new APC.
Oyegun also said that, “Besides the Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, you are the most current
target of attack in their quest to destabilize APC
Governors. For this simple reason you are not alone.
“What the Party, APC has come to realise is a properly
mapped out war by the PDP to distabilise the APC.
According to Oyegun, “The APC has decided strongly
that it is time that this rascality of the PDP should have
consequences. So, we are not going to sit back any
more and roll over and accept what is being dished out
to us because the level of impunity is becoming totally
unacceptable”.
“The rate at which institutions of state, especially
security institutions, are being undermined and
destroyed can no longer be accepted and tolerated”, he
asserted.
“We read in newspapers, the way the Police have been
used to protect eight ( 0r nine (9) people against
lawful decisions of court, against lawful and majority
controlled House of Assembly”.
Oyegun urged the Comrade Governor to continue with
the provision of good governance to the people of the
state, stressing that the leadership of APC will continue
to give him their support.
According to him, “We have come to Edo State to let
you know that the Party is fully behind you”.
Responding, Governor Adams Oshiomhole on behalf of
the State and Leadership of the Legislature thanked the
National Chairman, Chief Oyegun and other members for
leading a high power delegation of APC on a Solidarity
visit to Government House.
He said, “Let me thank you sir, for your decision to pay
us a visit and all that you have said. Of course, this is
your state, you know the actors and all that are
involved. You are very familiar with the environment and
you are one of the leaders of Edo Community.
“I think what people refer to basically as crisis in Edo
State is something so described because we are not
English people and we do not have the right words to
use.
Oshiomhole said, “My view is that, the refusal by four
(4) suspended members of the PDP of a 24 member
House would be a decision validly taken by their own
House on the basis of rules governing the House that
they are a part of, so, their insubordination has not in
any way translated to a crisis.
Oshiomhole added, “Ordinarily, this should be seen as
the internal affairs of the House that should bother only
the members of the house.
“Whether the House chooses to suspend a member or
appoint a member on assignment or whatever, given the
principles of separation of powers, that should not have
anything to do with anyone but members of the House,
particularly when it has become traditional that various
Houses of the Assembly at one time or the other either
for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, at the State
and even at the National level have had course to
suspend their members and it has never become an
issue leading to the blockade of the economy of the
state.
Governor Oshiomhole argued that “It is more of the way
the Police managed or intervened in the suspension and
providing security cover to force these people into the
House that has become an issue.
“I think you hit the nail on the head when you
condemned the act of reckless misuse of State
apparatus, taking the instruments of coercion, such as
the Police because in a democracy, the police itself
must be seen as instruments of creation of the law and
the protection of lives and property and not otherwise”.
He said, “It is these four (4) PDP members now six that
first approached the court. One approached the State
High Court, the others approached the Federal High
Court, asking the court for their protection, restraining
the speaker from declaring their seats vacant and taking
disciplinary actions against them.
Governor Oshiomhole also explained that the court
upheld their first prayer that they should not declare
their seats vacant but that on disciplinary actions, the
Court cannot direct the House on acts of misconduct by
their members.
“The House in line with their rules went ahead to
suspend the four PDP members who had refused to
obey the suspension even when the 15 APC lawmakers
had sought judicial intervention and of course, if they
were to resolve to self help in a 24 member House, and
four or five were suspended, these five do not have the
capacity to overwhelm the majority members physically.
“Whereas the suspended four PDP Lawmakers have
continued to enjoy the ruling of the Federal High Court
that says that their seats should not be declared vacant,
they have refused to obey the order of the State High
Court”.

Rivers State Governor, Chibuike
Amaechi has declared that failure of
the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) led Federal government to implement the United
Nations Environmental Protection Agency (UNEP) report
on Ogoniland was part of the reasons why he left the
party.
Amaechi spoke on Sunday at the thanksgiving
celebration of former Council Chairman of Khana Local
Government Area, Gregory Nwidam at St. Dominic’s
Catholic Church, Bane.
Amaechi said the PDP led Federal Government lack the
political will to implement the UNEP report to make the
environment habitable for the people of Ogoni, including
the provision of water and other infrastructural
development. Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi addressing the
people and members of St. Dominic Catholic Church,
Bane during Hon. Gregory Nwidam’s thanksgiving
service.
“After the verification and recommendation by the
Agency to the Federal Government, they have refused to
release the sum of One million dollars for the clean-up
and development of the area. As I am talking to you
today, the Federal Government is doing nothing about
the UNEP report. One million dollars is about 160 billion
naira, but the Federal Government has been spending
billions in other places. But, you need to ask yourselves
one question, what did Ogoni do against the federal
government that they cannot release 160 billion naira to
save your environment. That is the reason I left PDP for
APC, because, our interest is not protected in PDP. So,
when they cannot give the people of Ogoni 160 billion
naira, which is not even enough for their kids to travel
around America and London, if they cannot give to
Ogoni people, why should you vote them?” he said.
“What you should do is to punish them with your votes
by voting them out in 2015. When you vote, you are not
fighting for me, you are fighting for yourselves because, I
have served as a Speaker for 8 years and also Governor
for 8 years, what I need from God is long life. You need
to fight for yourselves and save Rivers State as well,”
Amaechi said.
The governor urged the people of Khana and all Rivers
people to register and identify with the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in order to vote out the Peoples
Democratic Party, (PDP) in the 2015 general elections.
“Let me assure you that APC will win in 2015 in Rivers
State. You owe me a duty to get registered with APC.
Go and register during the voters’ registration and get
your voters card. I want to thank the people of Bane
community and Khana people for their support,
especially the celebrant, Hon. Gregory Nwidam for his
promise that the people of Khana LGA will ensure APC
wins in Rivers State in 2015,” Amaechi said. Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, flanked by,
Sen. Magnus Abe (right), Hon. Gregory Nwidam
(celebrant) and his mother, Mrs. Mary Nwidam during a
thanksgiving service at St. Dominic Catholic Church,
Bane.
Amaechi also advised supporters of the APC in the
State to resist any attempt by the PDP to use police
and the military to intimidate and manipulate the 2015
elections against the will of the electorates.
“The PDP said they will bring Police and Army. Let
them bring them, but, you should know that they are
also human beings. On that day of the election, I will be
at the front. There is nothing police will shoot that I
have not inhaled before. There is no cell that they have
not locked me up as a student leader. There is no
amount of slapping and beating I have not passed
through in those days. There is nothing new that the
Federal Government has not done to me. So, I want to
prepare you the APC for that day. When you vote, seat
down at the polling unit and let them count the votes
and announce the results, so that they won’t rig us out.
Don’t vote for PDP. For me, politics is not about my
brother or my father, politics is about me and my
interest. So, it is about you and your interest,” He said.
Amaechi noted that his administration has built link
roads, Model Primary and Secondary Schools as well as
Health Centres to improve Ogoni land and other ethnic
groups in the State in contrast to the Federal
Government.
He said, “What has Federal Government done for the
people of Ogoni. If I have not done anything, I have built
Roads, Primary and Secondary Schools as well as
Health Centres in Ogoni land. There are two areas I
have focused since I became governor, Ogoni and Etche
Local Government areas. I have also taken development
to other parts of the State. In Ogoni, I started with rural
road construction including agricultural investment to
employ Ogoni people. So, when former Senator Lee
Maebe said, are Ogoni people monkeys? I asked him to
go back to school. This is because, the reason for
establishing that farm in Tai LGA, even after we paid the
owners of the land, was to create employment
opportunities for the Ogoni people who work and get
their daily living from that source. That farm is 2,000
hectares of land while the one we got from Etche was
5,000 hectares of land. This is a way of improving the
living standard of the people in these areas. And, until I
leave office, I will continue to drive development in the
state.”
The governor said soon, he will address the people of
the State on the on recent state of Federal allocations
to the State.
“I will address the State in the next one week or more
to tell them about the consistent shortfall of our
allocations from the Federal Government. Even though
the Federal Government said it is oil theft. We have lost
almost half of our revenue. We don’t have enough
money to run our government, and we need funds to be
able to govern the state. But, let me assure you that we
will continue to raise money to complete our projects,”
Amaechi said.
Earlier, Hon. Gregory Bariledum Nwidam and the
Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial
District, Sen. Magnus Abe had promised Governor
Amaechi, that the people of Bane Community and Khana
Local Government Area were ready to massively vote for
the All Progressives Congress in the 2015 general
elections.

B y Femi Aribisala
Just think how many votes can be harvested in Lagos
by telling commuters an incoming PDP government will
allow Okadas back on the roads.
I did not know how precise my analyses of Bola
Tinubu’s misfortunes are, until I saw the barrage of the
Lilliputian army sent to attack me. In the last few days,
I have been much-maligned and abused by a league of
Tinubu’s henchmen. Lagos State cowboys have also
descended on my office, asking for building permits
when I am not building anything; demanding to know if
my office is fire-proof, and threatening to close it down
if I show no “satisfaction” within two days.
I remain undaunted by these shenanigans. The bottom
line is that I am not the one running for election in
2015: they are. Neither does it matter if I am the
buffoon they claim I am. It is a contradiction in terms
to spend so much time and effort trying to discredit a
fool. If my views are truly inconsequential, those
planning to run for office would not be so determined to
silence me.
Strange bed-fellows
The irony in all this is that I actually consider myself to
be more a friend of the APC than a foe. What I offer is
wise counsel which, if seriously considered by the APC,
would be detrimental to the PDP. There is no doubt
that Nigeria deserves a strong opposition to the
government. Unfortunately, that strong opposition
cannot come from the foolishness of the APC.
As presently constituted, the APC is a very good
guarantee of another four years of the PDP, in spite of
the ruling party’s many inadequacies. How else are we
to explain why an incumbent APC governor lost to a
PDP challenger by a landslide in Ekiti? Instead of
harnessing its much-vaunted strength, the APC is
showing new weaknesses, even in its South-West
strongholds. Should it lose Osun in the forthcoming
gubernatorial election in August, then Bola Tinubu is
toast.
Before it can qualify to reform the polity, the APC needs
first to transform itself. Here is another attempt to
show it the error of its ways, although there are signs it
might already be too late for it to make amends in time
for the forthcoming elections.
The APC is an amalgamation of strange bedfellows with
conflicting political agendas, all desperate for power at
the centre. This explains why it even welcomes former
PDP opponents. This marriage of convenience is likely
to collapse sooner than later on the very altar of its
internal contradictions, the nearer we get to the
elections. In any case, bombast don’t create a
formidable political party: popular grassroots support
does.
Many of the “timber and caliber” of the APC cannot
even deliver their local governments. Their rants make
for interesting newspaper headlines, while adding
precious little to the electoral fortunes of their party.
Those were the days when popular support counted for
nothing in Nigerian elections. Those days are gone, as
the recent election in Ekiti shows. For example, Rotimi
Amaechi is very good public relations for the APC. But
only a fool believes Rivers State is going to vote APC in
2015. Neither can Rochas Okorocha deliver Imo State
to his new party.
Demonising the electorate
I am amused at people who make fun of Patience
Jonathan’s down-to-earth style of public-speaking and
have turned her “There is God O” into a derogatory
slogan. What they fail to appreciate is that the First
Lady’s homespun deliveries resonate with a
constituency which accounts for the major part of the
Nigerian population.
Unlike Patience Jonathan, many of the APC bigwigs are
out of touch with the electorate. They have been so
blinded by their naked ambitions; they can no longer
discern the signs of the times. This accounts for the big
shocker of the Ekiti elections, which they are still trying
to explain away with all kinds of rationalizations. Their
contempt for the wishes of the people led to the current
APC romance with the preposterous idea of a Muslim/
Muslim presidential ticket in this day and age.
Therefore, if they are not careful, they are in for further
surprises in “INEC 2015.”
Instread of addressing what led to the disaster in Ekiti,
the APC have resorted to abusing the electorate.
Suddenly, we are made to understand that the people of
Ekiti are stupid. They are derided as having voted for
“stomach infrastructure” instead of physical
infrastructure.
In a release signed by Joe Igbokwe, the APC Publicity
Secretary for Lagos State, the party declared: “It should
be noted that PDP is now flaunting what is now known
as ‘politics of stomach infrastructure’ which targets the
borderless hunger it has provoked for fifteen years for
exploitation.” “We want to assure the PDP that it is
building castles in the air by hallucinating that it will
ever capture Lagos by its politics of hunger and mass
poverty.”
This is nothing short of delusional. The tide of South-
West politics is moving inexorably against the APC. By
shouting from the rooftops about how bad things are in
Nigeria, the APC seems to have forgotten that it is the
one in power in the South-West. Therefore, if things are
bad there, it is the APC, and not the PDP, that is held
responsible. Accordingly, in Ekiti, the APC governor was
thrown out in one of the freest and fairest elections ever
conducted by INEC.
Pounded-yam politics
I have news for the APC. Its defeat in Ekiti is the
strongest indication yet that the PDP has hit on a
winning formula that might prove equally devastating to
the APC in other areas of the South-West. Indeed, the
APC government in Lagos is likely to be swept away by
the same politics of “stomach infrastructure” that it
derides to its cost in Ekiti.
I am an unrepentant admirer of Babatunde Fashola and
his seven-year tenure as governor of Lagos State. He
has done a lot to change the face of Lagos for the
better by renovating the physical infrastructures. But
the Ekiti defeat has exposed the Achilles heel of the APC
in their Lagos stronghold. In his seven years as
governor, Fashola has been contemptuous of the
electorate’s need for “stomach infrastructure.”
While Fashola has been busy tarring roads, building
fanciful tolled bridges and planting grass and flowers; he
has ignored the need of the people for basic things of
life like food, shelter and gainful employment. There is
no pipe-borne water in much of Lagos; and yet the
state generates over 27 billion in internal revenue every
month. When asked why he did not build low-cost
housing in Lagos, Fashola replied contemptuously that
he could not find any low-cost cement to buy.
Like Fayemi, Fashola speaks primarily for the rich.
Under him, the poor in Lagos have been marginalized;
oftentimes evicted from their homes without the benefit
of rehabilitation. Their menial abodes in places like
Mushin, Oluwole, Ojota, Makoko and Ijora-Badia East
have been bulldozed. Their markets in Tejuoso, Yaba
and Oshodi have been demolished. The new stalls that
replaced them were priced beyond their pockets.
Okadas have been banned from most areas of Lagos,
denying many of their means of livelihood. Alternative
means of transportation were not adequately provided,
making it even more difficult for those who don’t have
cars to move around. The poor residents of the Eti-osa,
Epe and Ibeju-Lekki Local Government areas, now have
to pay tolls going to and from the Lagos mainland. The
people are well-aware that the road-concessions were
to the financial benefit of the “godfather” of the APC.
Task-force terrorists
Street-trading, another means of livelihood for the
common man, is also frowned at by the Lagos APC
government. As the police chase okada riders down the
streets, impounding and inheriting their bikes, so do the
“kick against indiscipline” brigadiers confiscate and
inherit the goods of hapless petty-traders.
Different task force officials in Lagos derive pleasure in
harassing and arresting people indiscriminately, often in
order to extort bribes. All this has gone a long way in
generating hatred for the government among the rank-
and-file. In short, Fashola’s marauding brigadiers have
become a terror to the people. They seem to be
maliciously intent on squeezing the life out of the man-
in-the-street.
I have this theory about Fashola’s Lagos. If a Nigerian
Bill Gates were to decide to give away free of charge
100 billion naira of food to poor Lagosians, he would be
confronted with a whole army of Lagos State officials
who would impede and hinder him at every turn. They
would harass him for this permit and that permit. They
would throw every possible bit of regulation at him. So
much so that the man might get fed up and just cancel
the project.
In short, Fashola has run Lagos with disregard for
“stomach infrastructure.” Despite being a beneficiary of
free education himself, he hiked Lagos State University
fees from N25,000 to N360,000. Protesting students
descended on his office with cooking-pots and
firewood. Even the well-to-do have not been spared
from the state’s multiple tax burdens. Nevertheless,
Lagos has the highest debt-profile of any state in the
federation. The large community of Igbo Lagosians has
also been alienated by the APC policy of deporting some
poor Igbo back to their home-states in the dead of
night.
Time-up
As a result, the bell tolls for the APC in Lagos. Just
think how many votes can be harvested by telling
commuters an incoming PDP government will allow
okadas back on the roads. Or think how many votes
the PDP can get by promising to revoke the hated toll-
collection on the Lekki/Ajah expressway.
If you add to all this the imminent implosion that is
likely as Tinubu tries yet again to impose his own
candidate as APC gubernatorial flag-bearer without the
benefit of a democratic election, then the chances are
high that APC might be dethroned in Lagos. The irony
here is that while APC bigwigs are angling for two birds
in the bush in Abuja in 2015, they are likely to lose their
bird-in-hand in Lagos. Many Lagosians are increasingly
fed up with the APC. After fifteen years of limited
“stomach infrastructure,” Lagos is finally ripe for the
plucking by the PDP.

what do you expect, when the same government NEVER valued those teachers/lecturers that made those Medical Practitioners

A file photo taken on June 25, 2014 shows the
isolation ward at the Donka Hospital in Conakry where
people infected with the Ebola virus are being treated. A
regional centre is being set up in Guinea to coordinate
the response to the worst-ever outbreak of Ebola that
has killed hundreds of people in West Africa, the World
Health Organisation said on July 11, 2014. The
haemorrhagic fever sweeping through Guinea, Liberia
and Sierra Leone has left an estimated 539 people dead,
according to the latest WHO figures. Worried by the increasing cases of deaths from
the outbreak of Ebola virus in some neighbouring West
African countries, the Lagos state government,
yesterday gave some precautionary measures to
prevent the outbreak of the deadly virus in the state.
Ebola virus is currently ravaging many communities in
some West African countries like Guinea, Liberia and
Sierra Leone among others.
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, in a statement,
said the measures became necessary with a view to
preventing the outbreak of the disease in the State,
listing the measures include; washing of hands often
with soap and water, avoiding close contact with people
who are sick and ensuring that objects used by the sick
are decontaminated and properly disposed.
He advised health workers to be at alert and ensure
they always wore personal protective equipment as well
as observed universal basic precautions when attending
to suspected or confirmed cases, and report same to
their Local Government Area or Ministry of Health
immediately.
Idris explained that “Ebola virus ds caused by the Ebola
virus and outbreaks occur primarily in villages of the
Central and West Africa. The virus can be spread
through, close contact with the blood, body fluids, organ
and tissues of infected animals; direct contact with
blood, organ or body secretions of an infected person.
The transmission of the virus by other animals like
monkey and chimpanzee cannot be ruled out.”
The Commissioner noted that those at the highest risk
of the disease included health workers; and families or
friends of an infected who could be infected in the
course of feeding, holding and caring for them.
He stressed that “Early symptoms of disease include
fever, headache, chills, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sore
throat, backache, and joint pains. Later symptoms
include bleeding from the eyes, ears and nose, bleeding
from the mouth and rectum, eye swelling, swelling of the
genitals and rashes all over the body that often contain
blood. It could progress to coma, shock and death.”
Idris noted that presently, there was no specific
treatment for Ebola disease, stressing that infected
persons would need to be admitted into the hospital for
specialised care and treated in isolation.

ONWARDBABA: I can add this wen u all wat u do is alwas wrong
Wen u dnt miss d person even wen he or she shd be missed
Wen u see ur partner as same person

can not disagree

10 red flags they say should be cause for
concern in any relationship.
1. You feel the need to change who you are to
make your partner happy.
We all change a bit when we're exposed to a
new partner and their individual tastes --
you binge-watch an entire season of "House
of Cards" because your boyfriend loves it or
attempt to go vegetarian for a few months
because your girlfriend has been one for
years (keyword: attempt ). It only becomes a
real issue when you feel the need to change
who you are at your core to satisfy your
partner, says licensed marriage and family
therapist Virginia Gilbert.
"It's a definite problem when you find
yourself molding your values, opinions and
even your clothing style to suit your
partner," Gilbert says. "If you edit what you
say before you say it and constantly monitor
how you come across because you feel like
your partner is grading you, it might be time
to let the relationship go."
2. You have to defend your significant other to
family and friends.
Not everyone is going to like your boyfriend
or girlfriend as much as you do. But it
should worry you if there's a general
consensus among family and friends that
your new love is entirely wrong for you,
says M. Gary Neuman, a licensed
psychotherapist and author of The Truth
About Cheating: Why Men Stray and What
You Can Do to Prevent It .
“When all your friends and family are
uncomfortable with the relationship, it's
time to take a good look at it," he
recommends. "If you find yourself isolated
from loved ones and telling yourself they
just don't know your significant other the
way you do, chances are this won't end
well."
3. Nitpicking and criticism -- even if said in jest
-- are constants in the relationship.
He finds your hourly texts really
overbearing -- and tells you so repeatedly.
She jokingly compares her Ivy League
education to the one you received at a state
school, but always in a dismissive tone. If
your partner's overly critical eye is starting
to affect your self-esteem, it's time to speak
up or jump ship, says relationship expert
Tina Swithin.
“The criticism can even be subtle
comparison put-downs, which can be
delivered in a casual, passive aggressive
way," she says. "Those still can chip away at
your confidence, and in the end, healthy
relationships should lift you up, not bring
you down."
4. You're always wondering what your partner
is up to when you're not around.
What Elvis sang about suspicious minds is
true: You and your S.O. can't go on together
as long as you have doubts about what he or
she is up to when you're not there.
Dating coach Marina Sbrochi agrees,
offering up an example to illustrate the
point: "Maybe your new girlfriend keeps her
phone on silent. All the time. Add that to the
fact that she can only go out a couple of
times a week and she prefers to text," she
says. "Knock, knock! You aren't an
investigative reporter, but you know when
something smells fishy. If two plus two
doesn’t add up to four, it's time to part ways
and look for a relationship that doesn't seem
like a game of Clue."
5. Your partner makes all of the big
relationship decisions.
You only get together when it's convenient
for your boyfriend and only hang out with
his family and friends. You've been to all of
your girlfriend's work functions and
friends' parties, but have stopped inviting
her to any social gathering you attend --
she's made it crystal clear she's not
interested.
Sound familiar? If your partner is calling all
the shots and "you're just following their
lead, desperate for a few crumbs," it might
be time to reevaluate the relationship,
Gilbert warns.
6. Your sex life is seriously lacking.
A relationship shouldn't be all about the sex,
but it needs to be somewhat about the sex,
according to Sbrochi.
“If you feel like this person has all the other
qualities you desire in a mate, see a sex
therapist. Try some new tricks and see if
you can make manufacture some chemistry,"
she suggests. "Trust me, you need a sexual
connection for a long-lasting relationship.
You have plenty of friends, you don't need
another friend. It's time to look for love and
sex in one package.”
7. You want more "me" time -- but your partner
wants more "we" time.
You're dying for some time to yourself.
Meanwhile, your boyfriend is complaining
about how little you see of each other. "In
other words, the frequency of connecting is
either too high or too low, whether it be
texting, calling, or seeing each other in
person," marriage and family therapist Jane
Greer explains. It's a problem if "an amount
that is mutually comfortable for both of you
is never found."
8. You feel personally responsible for your
partner's happiness.
Heed your inner red flags as soon as you
start to feel like your partner relies on you --
and only you -- to keep them emotionally
balanced, Gilbert says.
“Whether your partner is in a pit of despair
or erupting in anger, he or she makes you
feel that you are somehow to blame, and it’s
your job to change whatever it is that you
have done or said to make them feel bad,"
she says. "Whatever you do or say to remedy
the situation is inevitably wrong and makes
your partner feel worse, which is, of course,
your fault. You are always on eggshells and
you feel the walls closing in on you. This
kind of relationship is poison; get out ASAP."
9. Your partner controls who you see and what
you do.
This might be the biggest red flag of all,
Swithin says. “If you find that your partner
is controlling your time with friends or
family, your finances, clothing choices or
how much makeup you wear, this is
something to take very seriously."
10. You find yourself wondering if you’re in the
wrong relationship.
It may sound painfully obvious, but your
tendency to quiet those relationship doubts
may end up being a huge regret later on,
says Sbrochi. "So many times we look back
on a bad relationship and only in hindsight
can we really see the signs for what they
really were," she says. "But if you really
think about it, you knew the whole time, you
just wanted to ignore it for whatever reason.
”
Instead, be more proactive about your
relationship concerns and address them
with your partner -- or move on before you
get hurt. "Make a mental note of whatever is
bothering you," Sbrochi says. "If it happens
again or you feel your inner warning lights
going off (even if they are going off softly),
it's time to take a step back."
