Residents of Ibadan, capital of Oyo State have continued to show their resentment against  the quest byformer military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, to contest the  2011 presidential election by defacing his campaign billboards and destroying his posters  in the city.

His billboards erected at the three highways that lead into Ibadan have been defaced.  There is one along Ibadan-Lagos expressway, another one very close to the tollgate along  Ibadan-Ife expressway and the third one very close to IITA along Ibadan-Oyo expressway.
The face of IBB on the billboards was marked with letter X in red ink.
Also, IBB posters pasted at strategic places in the city have been mutilated while some  were completely torn or removed.
Some residents who spoke to P.M.NEWS said if they had the opportunity, they would removed  all his billboards.
They said they decided to deface the billboards because that was the only thing they  could do now, adding that with time, they would either destroy or remove the billboards  completely.
One young man who identified himself as Mukaila condemned those that are campaigning for  IBB in the South West, stressing that it is only naughty person sons of Oduduwa that would  campaign for IBB among the Yoruba race.
Mukaila said: “Is it not insultive that IBB wants to contest 2011 presidential election  after destroying this country for us? What else does he want to do that he has not done?  After spending eight years in destroying the nation, he still wants to come back. That  will not happen and God will not allow it to happen.”
However, one of IBB’s media aides in Ibadan who spoke with P.M.NEWS under anonymity,  condemned the people that are defacing the billboards and destroying his posters.
He said that the act shows that they are intolerant.
According to him, IBB should be allowed to contest and if Nigerians don’t want him, they  will not vote for him and that will be the end of the matter,
Confirming the destruction of IBB’s campaign billboards and posters in parts of the  country, Kassim Afegbua, IBB’s spokesman, said it was an unwarranted provocation.
Speaking on a TV programme monitored in Lagos this morning, Afegbua said the campaign  posters were removed in Jos, the Plateau State capital ahead of President Goodluck  Jonathan’s visit to the state today.
He also said IBB’s billboards were being pulled down in Abuja, saying that such  intolerant and provocative act was uncalled for.

Varsity teachers begin strike on Monday
THURSDAY, 07 OCTOBER 2010 00:00 FROM LAWRENCE NJOKU, ENUGU NEWS - NATIONAL

IRKED by the alleged insensitivity of South East governors to the plight of lecturers in the zone, the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared a nationwide strike from Monday, Oct 11. It affects all universities.

“That will be the first in a series of strong and telling actions which will follow shortly after, the National President of ASUU, Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie, declared in Enugu yesterday at a press briefing.

“For the avoidance of doubt and as a measure of our commitment to the struggle for the emancipation of the South East state universities in particular, and for the proper implementation of the Federal Government and ASUU 2009 agreement and the better funding of Nigerian Universities in general, the Academic Staff Union of Universities had directed academic staff in all Nigerian Universities to proceed on strike from October 11.”

Flanked by other officials of the Union, Awuzie stated that the three-day (October 11 to13) strike was in sympathy and solidarity with their colleagues, the affected institutions as well as students of the state-owned universities.

Academic activities have been paralysed since July this year in all state-owned universities in the zone following the inability of the state governments to meet the terms of the renegotiated agreement reached between representatives of Federal Government and leadership of ASUU.

Although governors of the zone had met on two occasions to discuss the over three months old strike, nothing concrete had been achieved as the meetings ended with them asking the teachers to go back to the classrooms.

Awuzie who lamented the ugly development stated that the governors had ignored the demands as well as the welfare of the generality of the people of the zone, stressing that ASUU would not renege in her effort to ensure the full implementation of the agreement.

He said: “The governors of the South East states have basically ignored the demands; they have completely ignored the sad and dangerous fact that over two hundred and fifty thousand of their youths have been idle, roaming the streets and merging with the hundreds of thousand other unemployed in the regions; they have ignored the fact that it is their duty to ensure that such a crisis never occurs; they have ignored the dangerous crisis completely and with impunity.”

Awuzie, who painted a gory picture of the situation of the state-owned universities in the South East said the rot arising from the criminal underfunding of the institutions was unmatch anywhere in the world.

In Abia State University (ABSU), according to him, staffing is utterly dismal as a result of conscious government policy not to attract or retain the appropriate staff in number and quality, adding that for a student population of about 30, 000, the university has only 63 professors out of whom only 32 are permanent members of staff.

For a student population of 21, 000, Anambra State University can only boast of five professors, four readers, and 49 lecturers, while government subvention to the institution had remained abysmally low.

With a student population of 20, 000, Ebonyi State University has 61 professors most of whom are borrowed either as adjunct or contract staff. At Evan Enwerem University in Imo State with a student population of 30, 000, there are only 32 professors.

While lambasting the Enugu State government for dragging members of the ASUU in its university to the National Industrial Court over the lingering dispute, Awuzie said the union was no longer ready to tolerate the situation and would engage Governor Sullivan Chime’s administration in a showdown.

Awuzie added: “It’s obvious that the political class in the South East has collectively failed their people. They include the governors, legislators at the state and federal levels, ministers and other government political appointees because they have all refused to ask the governors to address the problem. The interest of the people is completely abandoned.”

“ASUU wishes to make it clear to the governors of the South East and their conniving political associates that the crisis in their universities is one responsibility that they can neither shirk nor wish away. The current strike will continue as long as they compel it to, even if it takes them five years to make up their mind to either run their universities or totally abolish them.

The Kaduna state government on Friday announced N8,799 as the new minimum wage for its civil servants with immediate effect.

The State's Head of Service, Balarabe Yakubu announced this shortly after the State Executive Council Meeting in Kaduna.

"From Oct. 1, a level 01 step 1 worker in the state will now receive N8,799 as salary as against the former N6,960, showing a 26.42 per cent increase," he said.

Yakubu said that workers on level 17 would now receive N115,799 as against the former salary of N80,599 representing a 43.73 per cent increase.

The Head of Service said that more than 76,000 state and local government workers would benefit from the gesture.

The state would incur an additional N468 million commitment or an average increase of 30 per cent over the old salaries. A breakdown shows an additional expense of N128 million for the state, N75million for local government councils, while an additional monthly commitment of N266million would be made on salaries of Primary School Teachers in the state.

Kaduna has 86,000 workers made up of 23,000 state workers, 18,000 local government workers and 45,000 teachers on its payroll.

Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has declared that some Northern leaders, now claiming to love the North and its people, are just selfish individuals pursuing their own agenda.
President Goodluck Jonathan
The President, in his facebook message titled ‘In Defence Of Life, Liberty And Property’ , noted that when the North was recently plagued by series of human-made and natural disasters, Northern leaders who are now very vocal over the Abuja bomb blast remained silent and inactive.
Jonathan was reacting to the attacks on him by some Northern leaders after the bomb blast on 1 October.
The President reasoned that these Northern leaders specialise in playing one part of the country against the other and riding on sectional sentiments to promote their narrow ambitions.
“To prove to you that their interests are personal and not for the people they claim to represent, you will notice that while this administration has spent considerable time and resources as well as focused attention on the recent floods in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Jigawa states and the cholera epidemic in certain parts of Nigeria as well as the lead poisoning that has consumed 400 children in Zamfara State, these so called concerned people have not been known to address any of these issues or offer a word of succour to the victims.
“This is irrefutable proof that their only focus is how to get power and not the wellbeing of the long suffering people of Nigeria whom I have sworn to Almighty God to protect.
“At this critical time, we should be mourning the dead and praying for the families left behind. What they need at this sad hour is not politics but compassion and empathy,” Jonathan said.
The president promised that the Federal Government will do everything possible to share in the pains of the bereaved and the injured.
“We will give the best medical care possible to the injured. We recognise that nothing can compensate for the loss of a loved one. But we offer our shoulders to the bereaved in this moment of need.”

There was a mild-drama at Igando Police Station in Alimosho Council of Lagos State when a 28-year old man, Wale Ipolola, escaped from the police station where he was detained over alleged involvement in a rape case.

Wale was arrested by the police for allegedly raping a 6-year old girl (names withheld) who was his neighbour’s daughter.

Instead of defending the charge against him at the police station, he attempted to escape. But he was unlucky as the policemen launched a manhunt for him and was re-arrested.

He was arraigned on a two-count charge of rape and escape from police custody at Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court.

Police claimed he took the little girl inside his room, laid her on the bed and had sex with her.

The incident happened at their residence, 28, Modina Road, Egan, on the outskirts of Lagos, South West Nigeria.

The alleged offence was blown open when the victim’s mother saw her as she entered the defendant’s room. She wanted to carry her but she discovered that fluid suspected to be sperm was coming out of her private part.

She raised an alarm and confronted the defendant. She later reported the incident at the police station.

The suspect was later arrested and charged to an Ejigbo magistrate’s court.

When the charge was read to him, he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding magistrate, Mrs. S. O. Solebo, granted him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two responsible sureties in the like sum.

The matter has been adjourned till 1 November for hearing.

The Divisional Police Officer of a police station in Aba, Abia State (names withheld), has allegedly raped a lady to death inside his office. The lady whose name was given as Princess Zainab Chinasa Uwakwe, and said to be very close to a serving senior police officer from Abia State, was said to have approached the DPO on telephone over a matter her relation had at a police station. But the DPO invited her over for a supposed discussion on the matter.
What a shame to our Men in Black.

The dust raised by the call on President Goodluck Jonathan to resign appears to be heightening as the South-South Elders and Leaders Forum cautioned the Northern Political Forum to desist from overheating the polity.

The SSELF, in a statement on Thursday, implored the United Nations, the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States to intervene and call the NPF to order.

The NPF, a group comprising prominent Northern leaders had on Tuesday said it had lost confidence in Jonathan’s ability to continue to lead the country.

The group’s call for the resignation of the President followed the October 1 bomb blasts in Abuja.

Jonathan on Wednesday fired back at his critics, saying it was “unfortunate that an unprecedented national tragedy has been politicised by people whose only interest is what they can get from the country and not what the country can get from them.”

The Senate and many members of the House of Representatives also took a swipe at the Northern leaders for their “unwarranted comment.”

In its reaction on Thursday, the SSELF, a group of elders and leaders in the South-South, demanded a retraction of the comments by the Northern leaders and an apology from them for slander.

“We wish to caution that if not urgently called to order, these isolated hawkish Northern leaders appear intent on replicating another Somalia or Rwanda incidents just because they believe only them have a right to decide who leads Nigeria,” the South-South elders said in the statement by their Secretary, Chief Ayakeme Whiskey.

They stated that the northern leaders were only trying to whip up sentiments within the military by insinuating that it was the recent changes in the nation‘s defence hierarchy that led to the October 1 bombings.

Incidentally on Thursday, the Chairperson of the AU Peace and Security Council, Dr. Monica Juma, called on the Federal Government to fish out and prosecute those behind the Abuja bombings.

Juma, who is also the Kenyan Ambassador to Ethiopia, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Addis Ababa, that bringing the culprits to book would serve as deterrent to others planning to execute such heinous acts.

“While we condemn the act in its totality, the AU Peace and Security Council wants the Nigerian government to thoroughly investigate the act, arrest and prosecute those behind the bombings, so that such unfortunate incident will not occur again in Nigeria and other parts of Africa,’’ Juma said.

In Jos, Plateau State, the Nigeria Renaissance Network, Goodluck Nigerians Movement and Christian Foundations for Social Justice and Equity, in separate statements said that the Northern leaders were misdirected when they asked the President to resign.

The statements were signed by Mr. Yakubu Dati for the NRN; Mr. Charles Sylvester for the Goodluck Nigerians Movement; and Mr. Joseph Sangosanya for the CFSJE.

But the Civil Rights Congress, disagreed, insisting that the President must resign

The CRC said that the Federal Government’s handling of the blasts only ridiculed the country and raised question on the competence and ability of the President to handle such commissioned tragedy.

WASTE OF MONEY and RESOURCES. That money should be put to better use!
