Now it's time to pay wages, they're being inconsiderate. Minimum wage for an American working 8 hours a day is about N87,000 per DAY!. If you do that for 22 days in a .month, it is about N1.9m..

The admission process is kind of easy and the fees are relatively much cheaper. This works for me, considering my budget. When it's time to apply for visa, do you think it might affect me adversely?

House of Representatives, Etsako Federal Constituency (Edo State) Aspirant, HON ANDREW MOMODU FELICITATES WITH CHRISTIANS ON THE OCCASION OF EASTER CELEBRATIONS... Charges politicians to emulate Christ and make sacrifices 17th April, 2022 As Christian faithfuls across the globe mark Easter in commemoration of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a PDP House of Representatives hopeful, Hon Andrew Momodu has enjoined Christians especially Etsako, Edo State Christians to emulate the selfless sacrifices Jesus Christ made for mankind. In his goodwill message released yesterday by Comrade Jerome Eramho, his Campaign Media Coordinator, the House of Representatives hopeful, Hon Andrew Momodu admonished the good people of ETSAKO Federal Constituency to continue to show unity, love and make sacrifices for the unity, socio-economic and political development of the Etsako Nation. In his words: "The significance of Easter is the defeat of death and the hope of Salvation. The death and resurrection of Christ rekindle hope and give assurance of eternal life for those that live and die in Christ. As politicians and leaders, we must be prepared and willing to make sacrifices as Jesus did for mankind to foster greater unity, peace, political stability and progress in our beloved Etsako Federal Constituency". "Easter is all about sacrificial giving. We must be prepared and willing to give our best to our people as leaders in our various communities by committing ourselves to the selfless service of our people. We can't give what we don't have. To give peace, we must be peaceful, we must have a heart of forgiveness. To give, you must have the love of your people and you can't serve the needs of your people if you are not ready to make sacrifices. Easter is all about peace brought to the world through love and sacrifice by one man, Jesus Christ. This is what my aspiration is all about: providing leadership and service through sacrifice." he added. "It is our hope that the Etsako people will reflect on the significance of this season, commit to the task of promoting the electing godly leaders that will establish a divine order in the leadership and governance of the Etsako people.. We must begin to elect leaders that will save and serve our people and not leaders on a clear mission to rob and deprive the people of the good of the Land of Etsako." Hon Andrew Momodu is a quintessential and charismatic leader, an irrepressible grassroots politician from Etsako Fed. Constituency, loved and admired in both Muslim and Christian communities for his uncommon leadership qualities, commitments and uncommon service to humanity. Etsako people should support and stand for productive and progressive leadership and true representative governance that Hon. Andrew Momodu is poised to provide. Happy Easter!

OPEN LETTER TO CAPTAIN HOSA OKUNBOR. 23rd June, 2020 My dear cousin, Cappy, It pains me that you so utterly have no qualm in your conscience to look humbly and soberly at the crooked way in which you travelled, the gutter in which you swarm, the Benin lives and families that you ruined, the dead bodies that you buried, to amass the dirty wealth in your possession today. How can you forget all of such disgusting history? And Captain, you want to carry on as if your yesterday should not have any bearing on your tomorrow. I am not at all happy to interact with you in any form, even as I’m writing you, but I can’t remain silent to see you create another round of havoc, this time a political atrocity on Edo youths since you destroyed so many for years during your ‘’original’’ enterprise. I thought that you will humbly and quietly face your alleged current legitimate business endeavors since you narrowly escaped decades of imprisonment here in the United States. You were equally lucky to have had two prominent Benin people intercede on your behalf to rescue you from General Bamaiyi’s NDLA Agency. I will not mention their family names but you must very well remember the father of our friend who used his friendship with the Boss of the anti –drug agency to rescue you. Then you were equally helped with funds by the well-known national motor dealer to oil the channels of your freedom. Uncle Osas recently reminded me during our telephone conversation of how he used to bring you food daily while you were in the detention of NDLA. But you refused to offer the wife of our mutual Uncle Osas any help while she was dying of cancer at UBTH years after. Your excuse then was that Uncle Osas had misused some of your funds while you were in detention. Of course, that was a complete lie because you had no funds worth talking about when Bamaiyi arrested you. In fact, you refused to pay my family the money when I was arrested in Minnesota, though I didn’t give you up. You can keep that money but God will judge as I have put all that escapades behind me. But search your heart if you have one, my brother. Have you ever wondered why I refused to see you in Toronto when sister Pat tried to arrange a meeting? With all your dirty money, you can’t give me back the 10 long years I spent in prison for you. I did not spill the beans, I kept quiet even when a shorter sentence was offered. I kept part of the bargain but did you? Did you give the money as promised to my family? Even Kola the Agbede man said you refused to pay him too. I heard he died of frustration after what you did to his wife. I‘m told now by friends in Nigeria that you, the cold-hearted criminal that I know intimately –that you are parading yourself as a philanthropist. I wish that the suffering mothers of the young men who were languishing in Benin while their children were wasting away in foreign jails for crimes of which you, Captain, was a major beneficiary -I wish that those mothers saw your so-called spirit of philanthropy at that time. Some of us here in the States and Europe will not be silent knowing that you have wrecked the lives of so many Benin youths overseas, now you want to destroy more of our future generation. This is not the space to talk about how you involved a good number of Benin youths in your criminal gun-running enterprise and oil bunkering operations. It is certainly not my intention to launch a full expose of your life in this correspondence. Rather, I just want you to cast your mind back to your days at the “base” (your house) off Olowu street before you moved to Emina crescent where all the packages (consignments) were moved out to Minneapolis and Houston, before we moved to your residential location at the house at Toyin Street to spark a sense of humility in you. ‘’Captain Powder’’ as you were called then because you were sunk neck deep in the valley of the drug-trafficking world, I’m sure that you definitely remember these situations as I was dedicatedly standing by you all through these trials. You were lucky to escape the hands of justice, but the “boys’’ who ran errands for you were not so lucky; in fact, you aggravated their pains as you abandoned their families in Benin including mine when you had the means to do otherwise. Cousin, I just want you to calm down and shut up. When people speak of leading private financiers of elections in Nigeria, your name will pale into pitiable insignificance. So, I plead with you to treat yourself from the virus of arrogance and to moderate your inclination for violence. Edo people are seeking a very peaceful election, get off from your gun-running frame of mind, don’t arm our youths to spill their own blood for your gubernatorial preference. Cappy, you still have some time to quickly act so that you can enter a place of pride among our people. Thanks, Frank Agbons Idehen USA |

By David Hundeyin Employees of the Dangote Oil Refinery Company in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos are currently in varying degrees of panic as a leaked internal email yesterday indicated that the company is dealing with a suspected case of COVID-19. A trusted source at the company who asked not to be named has confirmed that the patient in question – an Indian pipe fitter working at the giant petrochemical complex – is currently in isolation on site. When I spoke to my source earlier today, I initially expected this to be yet another story of a Nigerian corporate taking liberties with the lax regulatory environment to put its own interests first while flouting rules and putting people in danger. As I found out later, this goes well beyond Dangote Group or its internal health policy. This is a story about how Nigeria is facing a dire health emergency, driven by a perfect storm of incompetent governance, crass politicking, ignorance and corporate insularity. Exhibit A: The Indian Pipe Fitter Last week Thursday (March 12, 2020), a pipe fitter contracted to work at Dangote Refinery boarded a flight from Mumbai, India to Cairo, Egypt. After a brief stopover, he boarded another flight to Lagos, Nigeria where he was to resume work the following Monday. When he showed up at work on Monday however, something was wrong. He had a fever, a dry cough, a sore throat and significant breathing difficulty. Dr. Avijit Singh, a Russian-trained surgeon with 10 years of experience in general surgery and practise across two continents, was the doctor on duty at the site clinic. He immediately suspected that the patient was infected with the coronavirus by virtue of his symptoms and his travel history (Cairo is a COVID-19 hotspot with over 150 known cases as at yesterday). After isolating the patient, he fired off an email to the on-site safety officer, Akhil Kuniyil, detailing the incident with full disclosure of the patient’s travel history, location and suspected diagnosis. It is unclear whether anyone at Dangote Refinery attempted to establish contact with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the Federal Ministry of Health or the Lagos State Ministry of Health after becoming aware of this information. At press time, no information had been released by any of the concerned parties to address the building story. Staff members at the refinery meanwhile, got their hands on the communication between Dr. Singh and Mr. Kuniyil and according to my source, an unredacted version of the screenshot above has been circulating among refinery staff, their friends and families for more than 24 hours. My source further informed me that in addition to sitting on such critical information and stonewalling regulators as Dangote Refinery is in the habit of doing, certain practises and conditions on site may actually be aiding the possible spread of COVID-19. He was especially keen to point out that despite the extant coronavirus threat, a temperature scanner was only installed onsite yesterday Monday 16 March, 2020. The site meanwhile, employs hundreds of people who congregate every morning and then disperse back into Lagos every evening. In other words, Dangote Refinery has yet again ignored local and international HSE best practises and put its workers at risk – only this time the risk extends beyond its workers. The sprawling Ibeju-Lekki free trade zone is now effectively a brewing COVID-19 hotspot in Lagos with hundreds of potential disease vectors coming out of it everyday. Describing the internal chaos after the news of the suspected COVID-19 case leaked yesterday my source said: “The temperature scanner was installed just yesterday. And, it created a severe bottleneck where many people have to cram into a small space to get screened daily, thus ensuring that the virus really goes round if one person has it.” The solution according to him, is for the entire complex to shut down operations until the threat blows over. The alternative he says, is to risk the daily temperature check that should counteract the spread of COVID-19, itself becoming a dispersion point for the virus. In his words: “I guess it is a question of saving lives vs keeping the project moving.” Exhibit B: The Insecure Minister and the Unprepared Government When NCDC chair Chikwe Ihekweazu recently visited China to observe its coronavirus containment efforts as part of a capacity building exercise facilitated by the World Health Organisation, few might have thought of it as anything other than an objectively good thing. What better place for Nigeria’s disease control czar to be than the epicentre of the global outbreak picking up useful information that could help Nigeria? One of those few however, turned out to be federal Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire. According to a source who is familiar with the matter, Ehanire was apparently unhappy that national and global attention was coming the way of Ihekweazu, who is technically his subordinate. Known to have gubernatorial ambitions in his native Edo State, Ehanire apparently sees the COVID-19 outbreak as the perfect staging point to build his political brand and come to the forefront of Edo’s political consciousness. The fact that local and international media and multilateral bodies prefer to interact directly with the NCDC – without necessarily making reference to him – is a problem. Unfortunately, in this context of Nigeria’s fight against a deadly pandemic, this petty clash of egos is now everybody’s problem. Rather than focusing energy on coordinating efforts to fight the spread of the coronavirus, Ehanire has instead made it a point to put his face in front of every available camera and make it clear that he – not Ihekweazu – is the one in charge. Ihekweazu is no longer permitted to speak to the media independently about COVID-19, and he must now report to the Federal Ministry of Health and operate from there. In other words, the most important thing about the COVID-19 crisis in the eyes of the FMOH is that the world must know that it is the health minister’s show and his alone. Last week, Ehanire took the most telling step to reclaiming his ostensibly lost glory and pushing his political agenda when he hosted a press conference to announce Nigeria’s second COVID-19 case. The location of a press conference organised to make a nationwide health announcement? Benin City, Edo State. While this was happening meanwhile, Nigeria’s management capacity for COVID-19 was significantly lower than publicly claimed. It will be recalled that when the Italian index patient was identified and confined in Lagos, everyone concerned treated the story as evidence of preparedness with some even sounding triumphal. In reality what actually happened was that the subject self-presented and was diagnosed – the good news ended there. Describing what happened next, my source says: “The case in Lagos for instance took the intervention of the Italian ambassador for the patient to be moved. The place he was kept initially wasn’t habitable . While Govt was on air claiming to have contained him in a hospital – he was literally abandoned at a poorly maintained facility, which is why Punch reported his attempted escape because he was dealing with mosquito bites.” In the context of Nigeria’s porous land borders and the up to 30-day asymptomatic incubation period of COVID-19, during which time it is infectious, nobody actually knows how many novel coronavirus cases are in Nigeria. While the FMOH and the NCDC engage in a pointless pissing contest, hundreds of thousands of Nigerians could currently be carrying the COVID-19 virus, without anything close to the required testing capacity to find out. The Nigerian government strategy right now appears to be to cross both fingers, wait it out and hope. The NCDC has been shackled. Osagie Ehanire wants to be governor. Private corporations are managing the health crisis on their own – and possibly worsening it. The government at state and federal levels are broke and under-resourced. Ultimately, it would seem that any salvation from COVID-19 if it is to come, will be from our climate and our natural immune systems. Nigerians once again, are on their own.

15/02/2020 I write this open letter to the Vice- chancellor, Uniben, Prof (Mrs) Salami as it is my right in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights, 1948 to have freedom of opinion and expression and to receive and impart information through any media. On the morning of the SUG elections, 14th February, the Dean of students brought a sudden guideline that only students that have paid for this current session can vote, a decree that is against Section 32, sub section 1 of the SUG constitution that all election guideline shall be subject to the constitution. The logical implication of the Dean's decree is that the 100L students will be able to vote. At Twin-LT where my faculty, Basic Medical sciences vote, the returning officer made use of a list given by Dean of students to accredit voters. We discovered that the list was cooked as names persons that had paid school fee weren't on the list and were therefore disenfranchised. Also 100Level students weren't allowed to vote. Now, I ask, what is the use of a list when you can easily ask for school fee slip as proof? When we discovered the foul play, we proceeded to try to print out our school fee slip only to discover that our kofa pages have been shut down. It's is truth that faculty of BMS is one of the faculties that pay school fees early due to the competition in application for reserved hostels, but the cooked list put a whole department at just 20 eligible voters when a class in the department have over 100 students and BMS and Pharmacy with a combined population of over 6000 students had only about 200 voters as at 2pm. As at when all these was going on, we discovered that 100Level students and students without school fee payment were being allowed to vote in polling units that were stronghold of a particular candidate. It is not secret that the Dean of students controlled and decided the numbers of persons that could vote in this SUG election. We also discovered that the returning officers sent to different polling units were more of staffs of faculty of Law which is where the Dean comes from, I don't need to explain the foul play here. I am not so surprised as the NDDC hostel that is supposed to be for medical students is now Law students hostel. It's is a fact that votes were counted in some polling units with the agents locked outside. Its is illogical that one who has right to be voted for does not have the right to vote. UNN SUG elections also held this week and over 40, 000 students voted, it is a shame that University of Benin with over 45, 000 students could not produce 4000 voters. I won't fail to mention that members Man O" war that is not a military or security organization in school heavily brutalized our students and collected their phones, when I spoke with the GOC today, he said they have rights to beat up fellow students. Another point of note is the Dean of students sending the aspirants to DSS for clearance, I can only wonder what happened to UNIBEN security, the aspirants were stripped stark naked and male DSS officials touched the body parts of female aspirants in the name of screening. I can't deny the thoughts that the Dean of students carried out DSS screening so as to be able to defend himself after unclearing some selected aspirants without reasons. We the students of Basic Medical sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy and every other concerned students reject election based on illegality and irregularity as it is not about winning or losing. We would therefore carry our a mass peaceful protest come Monday, 17th with members of the press to oversee the process. We would file our petitions by Monday which will contain evidences and witnesses of this sham election. We have pictures and videos of votes counted without agents, of the kofa page shut down, of the brutalized students that didn't destroy life and property, of the students that were disenfranchised of voting after paying this current session school fee and of the students that voted without school fee in some polling units. It's is a tradition in Universityof Benin to suspend and/or rusticate students that speak up for their rights and fight against oppression, I have therefore decided to add my name and matriculation number. History will only tell of the comrades and the tyrants that have passed though this institution. The world will watch you decision towards the voice of the students dear Mama VC.
