In 1978 Desmond Tutu was
appointed general
secretary of the South
African Council of
Churches and became a
leading spokesperson for
the rights of black South
Africans. During the 1980s
he played an unrivaled role
in drawing national and
international attention to
the iniquities of apartheid,
and in 1984 he won the
Nobel Prize for Peace for
his efforts.
Early Life
Desmond Mpilo Tutu was
born on October 7, 1931 in
Klerksdorp, South Africa.
His father was an
elementary school
principal and his mother
worked cooking and
cleaning at a school for the
blind. The South Africa of
Tutu's youth was rigidly
segregated, with black
Africans denied the right to
vote and forced to live only
in specific areas. Although
as a child Tutu understood
that he was treated worse
than white children based
on nothing other than the
color of his skin, he
resolved to make the best
of the situation and still
managed a happy
childhood.
"We knew, yes, we were
deprived," he later
recalled. "It wasn't the
same thing for white kids,
but it was as full a life as
you could make it. I mean,
we made toys for ourselves
with wires, making cars,
and you really were
exploding with joy!" Tutu
recalls one day when he
was out walking with his
mother when a white man,
a priest named Trevor
Huddleston, tipped his hat
to her—the first time he had
ever seen a white man pay
this respect to a black
woman. The incident made
a profound impression on
Tutu, teaching him that he
need not accept
discrimination and that
religion could be a
powerful tool for
advocating racial equality.
Tutu was a bright and
curious child with a
passion for reading. He
especially loved reading
comic strips as well as
Aesop's Fables and the
plays of Shakespeare. His
family moved to the capital
city of Johannesburg when
he was 12 years old, and it
was around that time that
Tutu contracted
tuberculosis and nearly
died. The experience
inspired his ambition to
become a medical doctor
and find a cure for the
disease. Tutu attended
Johannesburg Bantu High
School, a grossly
underfunded all-black
school where he
nevertheless received an
excellent education. "The
people who taught us were
very dedicated and they
inspired you to want to
emulate them and really to
become all that you could
become," Tutu
remembered. "They gave
you the impression that, in
fact, yeah, the sky is the
limit. You can, even with all
of the obstacles that are
placed in your way; you
can reach out to the stars."
Tutu graduated from high
school in 1950, and
although he had been
accepted into medical
school, his family could not
afford the expensive
tuition. Instead he accepted
a scholarship to study
education at Pretoria Bantu
Normal College and
graduated with his
teacher's certificate in
1953. He then continued on
to receive a bachelor's
degree from the University
of South Africa in 1954.
Upon his graduation from
university, Tutu returned to
his high school alma mater
to teach English and
history. "I tried to be what
my teachers had been to
me to these kids," he said,
"seeking to instill in them a
pride, a pride in
themselves. A pride in
what they were doing. A
pride that said they may
define you as so and so.
You aren't that. Make sure
you prove them wrong by
becoming what the
potential in you says you
can become."
Rise to Prominence
Nevertheless, Tutu became
increasingly frustrated
with the racism corrupting
all aspects of South African
life under apartheid. In
1948, when Tutu was 17
years old, the National
Party won control of the
government and codified
the nation's long-present
segregation and inequality
into the official, rigid policy
of apartheid. In 1953, the
government passed the
Bantu Education Act, a law
that lowered the standards
of education for black
South Africans to ensure
that they only learned what
was necessary for a life of
servitude. The government
spent one-tenth as much
money on the education of
a black student as on the
education of a white one,
and Tutu's overcrowded
classes often included as
many as 80 pupils. No
longer willing to participate
in an educational system
explicitly designed to
promote inequality, he quit
teaching in 1957.
The next year, in 1958, Tutu
enrolled at St. Peter's
Theological College in
Johannesburg. He was
ordained as an Anglican
deacon in 1960 and as a
priest in 1961. In 1962, Tutu
left South Africa to pursue
further theological studies
in London, receiving his
master's of theology from
King's College in 1966. He
then returned from his four
years abroad to teach at the
Federal Theological
Seminary at Alice in the
Eastern Cape as well as to
serve as the chaplain of the
University of Fort Hare. In
1970, Tutu moved to the
University of Roma in
Lesotho to serve as a
lecturer in the department
of theology. Two years
later, he decided to move
back to England to accept
his appointment as the
associate director of the
Theological Education Fund
of the World Council of
Churches in Kent.
Tutu's rise to international
prominence began when he
became the first black
person to be appointed the
Anglican Dean of
Johannesburg in 1975. It
was in this position that he
emerged as one of the most
prominent and eloquent
voices in the South African
anti-apartheid movement.
Tutu explained, "I realized
that I had been given a
platform that was not
readily available to many
blacks and most of our
leaders were either now in
chains or in exile. And I
said, 'Well, I'm going to use
this to seek to try to
articulate our aspirations
and the anguishes of our
people.'"
In 1976, shortly after he
was appointed Bishop of
Lesotho, further raising his
international profile, Tutu
wrote a letter to the South
African Prime Minister
warning him that a failure
to quickly redress racial
inequality could have dire
consequences, but his
letter was ignored. Tutu
was selected as the
General Secretary of the
South African Council of
Churches in 1978, and he
continued to use his
elevated position in the
South African religious
hierarchy to advocate for
an end to apartheid. "I
never doubted that
ultimately we were going to
be free, because ultimately
I knew there was no way in
which a lie could prevail
over the truth, darkness
over light, death over life,"
he said.
In 1984, Desmond Tutu
received the Nobel Peace
Prize "not only as a gesture
of support to him and to the
South African Council of
Churches of which he is
leader, but also to all
individuals and groups in
South Africa who, with their
concern for human dignity,
fraternity and democracy,
incite the admiration of the
world." He was the first
South African to receive the
award since Albert Luthuli
in 1961. Tutu's receipt of
the Nobel Peace Prize
transformed South Africa's
anti-apartheid movement
into a truly international
force with deep sympathies
all across the globe. "It
opened doors which was
important for our people,"
he said about the award. "It
was important for our
people at that point in our
history because we were
tending to go off the radar
screen and this brought us
back spectacularly." The
award also elevated Tutu to
the status of a renowned
world leader. As he himself
put it, "You get the Nobel
Peace Prize and you say
the same thing that you
said before you got the
prize and now everybody
thinks, 'Oh, dear, the oracle
has spoken.'"
In 1985, Tutu was
appointed the Bishop of
Johannesburg, and a year
later he became the first
black person to hold the
highest position in the
South African Anglican
Church when he was
chosen as the Archbishop
of Cape Town. In 1987, he
was also named the
president of the All Africa
Conference of Churches, a
position he held until 1997.
In no small part due to
Tutu's eloquent advocacy
and brave leadership, in
1993 South African
apartheid finally came to
an end, and in 1994 South
Africans elected Nelson
Mandela as their first black
president. The honor of
introducing the new
president to the nation fell
to Tutu. He recalled that in
that triumphant moment he
whispered to God, "If I die
now, it would be almost the
perfect moment. This is the
theme for which we had all
been waiting for."
President Mandela
appointed Tutu to head a
Truth and Reconciliation
Commission tasked with
investigating and reporting
on the atrocities committed
by both sides in the
struggle over apartheid.
Personal Life
Tutu married a woman
named Leah Nomalizo on
July 2, 1955. They have
four children and remain
married today. Although he
officially retired from
public life in the late 1990s,
Tutu continues to advocate
for social justice and
equality across the globe.
In 2007, he joined The
Elders, a group of seasoned
world leaders including
Nelson Mandela, Kofi
Annan, Jimmy Carter and
others, who meet to
discuss ways to promote
human rights and world
peace.
Desmond Tutu stands
among the world's
foremost human rights
activists. Like Nelson
Mandela, Mohandas Gandhi
and Martin Luther King Jr.,
his teachings reach beyond
the specific causes for
which he advocated to
speak for all oppressed
peoples' struggles for
equality and freedom.
Perhaps what makes Tutu
so inspirational and
universal a figure is his
unshakable optimism in the
face of overwhelming odds
and his limitless faith in
the ability of human beings
to do good. "Despite all of
the ghastliness in the
world, human beings are
made for goodness," he
once said. "The ones that
are held in high regard are
not militarily powerful, nor
even economically
prosperous. They have a
commitment to try and
make the world a better
place."

Is it that our graduates don’t have sense and our senators are geniuses? Or how else do you explain that an average Nigerian graduate’s salary is 1/7th of that of a US graduate, while a Nigerian Senator’s salary is 8 times that of a US senator.
I think the way out is to graduate in Nigeria, get a job in US and come back to become a senator here in Nigeria.

FIGURES DON’T LIE: ENOUGH OF FAYOSE’S DECEIT!

• At inauguration, Fayose quoted N86bn as Ekiti debt. He later put it at N96bn, 68bn and now N31bn, but DMO in federal Ministry of Finance said it is N18b.

• He later pleaded with Fayemi that that is how to play politics.
N5 billion out of this has been paid by the Federal Government it was after this Fayose took another N21.6 billion loan

•Fayose's wage bill is N1.7b and not N2.6b after he cancelled Fayemi YCAD scheme, 20,000 elderly social security scheme, 10,000 Youth Volunteers, 300 EKSTMA, 800 Peace corps at 50 per local government.

What has Fayose done with monthly Allocation from the Federal Government totaling 20 months now?
What has Fayose done with Money he obtained from Banks under Corporate Social Responsibility? How much? Only Fayose knows!

• Average monthly retirement per month in civil service is 50. In 20 months, that's 1000 retirees from the service, yet Fayose claims to be paying N2.6 billion till now!

• Fayose claimed that he discovered 500 ghost workers yet his wage bill remains the same!

• Fayemi engaged close to 1,000 Political appointees, but Fayose has less than 100 and he has not made any new recruitment into the service
Fayose takes N250 milion naira monthly as security vote which he doesn't spend on security!

•He will never disclose that he has ever collected local government allocations from Abuja, which he has been collecting but has refused to pay LG workers for four months.

• Fayemi paid September salary of LGA before leaving office and only owed teachers and civil servants one (1) month salary because Fayose threatened the banks not to pay

•Fayemi's loans did not affect LGA federal allocation so why is Fayose owing Local Government workers 4 months salary?

EKITI DEBTS
• Fayose vowed never to borrow a kobo during his tenure and condemns Fayemi for borrowing beyond his tenure, Fayose has also borrowed N21.6 billion beyond his tenure exposing him as a hypocrite and liar! See Details below:

a. N2billion CBN SME Micro credit loan approved by Adewale Ominrin led Assembly meant for artisans and Farmers which he didn’t give anybody

b. N9.6billion bailout (70% of which he pocketed)

c. N10 billion loan which he was supposed to use to pay workers salary but which he diverted to building a flyover so that he can embezzle money

Total = N21.6 billion

• Fayemi took loans to be paid within 7years (with 2018 as terminal date) as against Fayose's claim of 2036 to fund some regenerative projects like Ire Burnt Bricks, Civic Centre, Ikogosi Resort and Ero Dam, Ekiti Parapo Square (Pavillion), Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, a befitting Government House at Oke Ayoba, Funmilayo Olayinka Wellness and Cancr centre at EKSUTH et.c

•Ekiti loan repayment is tied to IGR with average deduction of N450m and maximum of N650 but Fayose lied that N1.2billion is deducted monthly!

• Fayose claims he collects N250m IGR monthly even though it is higher than that, in 20 months, that is N5bn. Fayose where is the money?

•Which government account does Fayose pay Ekiti IGR? IGR is paid into secret accounts only known to him

•He collected N5.2b Ecological fund but he has denied this till date even though Dayo Adeyeye as Works Minister under Jonathan confirmed this to the whole world!

• Fayose received refunds on roads totalling N22.2bn as audited and published in 2013 financial statements by Fayemi but Fayose denied!

• Fayose received N9.6bn bailout which was supposed to clear all outstanding salaries including, union deductions of N450m, severance package of N500m, furniture allowance of political appointees of N350m, Pensions and gratuities of N2.8bn and Leave Bonus and others. He never paid anyone!

• He received September 2014 allocation of N3bn for state and N2.1 for LGAS. Why did he need bailout again?

• How then did Fayose spend the bailout when primary school teachers, pensioners and political appointees have not

• How then did Fayose spend the bailout when primary school teachers, pensioners and political appointees have not been paid?

• What did Fayose do with the revenue from sale and lease of the following government properties: ?

· Sale of government vehicles
· Leasing of Ikogosi Warm Springs to his cronies
· What is happening in Ire Burnt Bricks now?
· Leasing of Abuja NANET SUITES
· Sale of market stalls built with government money across the state
Fayose where are all these monies?

We have facts to show that Fayose can conveniently pay three months salary but he is deliberately punishing Ekiti workers. Fayose, why are you doing this to teachers and civil servants who supported you so much and heralded your second coming?

Where is the 5 % percent statutory allocation for Obas which should be a first line charge?
Why do you owe Kabiyesis arrears of salaries?
Fayose is the first Governor to flash workers their salary through false alerts in banks just to show in his fake record that he has paid. This is wickedness of the highest order!

EKITI PEOPLE SHINE YOUR EYES AND SHARPEN YOUR BRAINS!
FAYOSE HAS BEEN FOOLING YOU!

#legaliseiilegalrefineries

Emmanuel Addeh in Yenagoa
There were indications on
Tuesday evening that armed
militants operating in the Niger
Delta may have again blown up a
gas pipeline operated by Nigerian
Agip Oil Company (NAOC) at
Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw Local
Government Area of Bayelsa
State.

The latest attack makes it the
umpteenth time oil and gas
facilities belonging to the Italian
oil giant would be breached in
the state this year alone.
The fresh attack by gunmen, it
was learnt, occurred on the
pipeline about 48 hours ago,
raising questions within the
community over why security
agencies saddled with the
responsibility of protecting oil
installations are unable to stop
the frequent breaches.

Suspected ex-militants also
recently attacked a pipeline
carrying crude oil located at
Brass Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State, resulting in an oil
spill in the environment.
During the latest attack, the
gunmen reportedly stormed the
community at about 9 pm on
Sunday, traced the pipeline and
ruptured it at the same point
where it had been repaired after
the last attack.

While some sources said
dynamites were used to blow up
the pipeline, others said the
gunmen deployed other
mechanical devices to rupture the
line along the axis.
The pipeline said to be a major
gas pipeline in the country,
reportedly crosses Tumor
community in Bomadi, Delta
State, Ogbuasiri in Ekeremor
Local Government Area and
Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw, both
in Bayelsa State.

“Agip awarded the contract for
security surveillance and repairs
of the pipeline in the event of a
breach to a contractor from the
community.
“So the contractor enjoys the
dual contract of protecting the
pipeline and also repairing it
whenever there is a leakage. But
it is baffling how the pipeline
increasingly comes under attack,”
a source said.

He added that it “is a major
pipeline because it supplies gas
for domestic consumption”,
noting that Agip had spent a lot
of money fixing it.
While the pipeline is said to be
relatively safe in other
communities, it is continuously
breached in the Southern Ijaw
community, the source revealed.

By Babajide Komolafe The naira maintained its upward trend in the parallel market yesterday, appreciating to N345 per dollar in response to decline in demand for dollars occasioned by anxiety over the possible outcome of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting coming up next week.
Vanguard investigation revealed that the parallel market exchange rate fell to N345 per dollar yesterday from N350 per dollar on Monday, implying appreciation of N5 for the nation’s currency. The naira has appreciated by N25 against the dollar since Friday when the parallel market exchange rate stood at N370 per dollar in response to anticipated increase in demand due to deregulation of petroleum products importation and rumours about imminent official devaluation of the naira by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Bureaux De Change operators attributed the increased appreciation of the naira to anxiety over the possible outcome of the MPC meeting scheduled to hold from Monday to Tuesday next week. “Demand for dollars is weak today because market participants, especially, buyers are anxious about the outcome of the MPC meeting”, said Aminu Gwadabe, President Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON). Confirming this development, Financial Derivatives Company Limited, said “Nigerians are extremely nervous about the possible outcomes of the next MPC meeting. This is because of a confluence of negative developments ranging from a sharp fall in the production of oil, deepening external reserves, spiralling inflation and sharply lower Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. There has hardly been a time in the history of Nigeria that the Central Bank has been faced with such stark and hard choices. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. Reviewing the impact of the sharp increase in inflation rate to 13.6 percent in April on the financial markets and the outcome of the MPC meeting, “The Company stated, “The MPC is expected to seriously consider the consequence of high inflation on investor returns. A tighter monetary environment (hiking interest rates) could result in investors shifting to the fixed income market due to attractive interest rates. In addition, NIBOR and T-bill rates would be expected to increase. “Given the underperformance of the stock market with a negative YTD return of (6.35%), we expect capital outflow from the Nigerian bourse, as investors become attracted to high interest fixed income instruments. “We expect a cocktail of measures or a sequence of steps aimed at controlling inflation, maintaining currency stability and stimulating growth. The order in which these decisions will be taken is a subject of great uncertainty and anticipation.”

Ademola Babalola in Ibadan

National President of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Biodun Ogunyemi has mobilized members of the union for strike and mass action commencing Wednesday to force the Federal Government to revert the pump price from N145 to N86.50.

In a letter sent to members of the congress nationwide and read at the University of Ibadan Chapter where the Chairman, Dr Deji Omole mobilized members to get ready for mass resistance to what he called the obnoxious and callous policy of fuel price increment.

According to Omole, the policy of subsidy removal was the most criminal ambush from the Mohammadu Buhari-led federal government to empower the rich and cripple the poor.

The ASUU boss who said that the common denominator to all Nigerians is poverty added that the same APC government that failed to pay civil servants for months is now celebrating budget signing with the legalization of black market.

Omole who noted that many state governors who now align with the removal of subsidy ran their states aground through wasteful spending added that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission should beam search lights on state governors.

ASUU boss noted that the coup against the masses adding that since Nigeria runs motorized economy, Nigerians cannot be forced to carry the problems created by the rich and friends of government.

ASUU president in the letter entitled “Increase in Pump price of Premium Motor Spirit to N145 perlitre: Proposal for Joint Action with NLC stated that ASUU members are called upon to according to our Union’s principles, fully respect Article 2 of the Constitution of ASUU; that our Union and members shall work for the protection and advancement of the socio-economic interests of the nation. Branch Chairpersons are to conduct emergency congress meetings on Tuesday 17 May 2016 to mobilise our members for the action commencing on Wednesday. All branches of ASUU nationwide are to comply”

Ogunyemi anchored the position on “delayed, partially paid and in most cases unpaid salaries for a number of months by state, federal and local governments, disguised retrenchment of workers, especially by State Governments, in the name of verification exercise and endless hunt for ghost workers and heavy taxation”.

Fighting broke out among
members of the opposition
Peoples Democratic Party in the
National Assembly on Monday
over their party’s ongoing
congresses across the country,
PREMIUM TIMES can
authoritatively report today.


Godswill Akpabio, the Minority
Leader of the Senate, convened
the emergency meeting of the
party’s National Assembly
Caucus to address numerous
complaints that arose from the
party’s nationwide congresses,
some of which were marred by
irregularities and legal battles.
Sources told PREMIUM TIMES
that the meeting was held to
address the crises in seven of the
36 state chapters where the
congresses turned out to be most
problematic.
Halfway into the meeting, which
held behind closed doors in
House Room 0.28 at 4:30 p.m., a
brawl erupted between a former
Minister of Aviation, Stella
Oduah, now senator representing
Anambra North Senatorial
District, and Sopuluchukwu
Ezeonwuka, a House member
from Orumba North/South federal
constituency in Anambra State.
The disagreement among the
lawmakers was over membership
of a committee the Caucus
decided to set up to proffer
solutions to the stalemate in the
state congresses ahead of the
party’s national convention.
Also involved in the face-off were
Lynda Ikpeazu, who represents
Onitsha North/South federal
constituency, and Chukwuka
Onyema, Deputy Minority Leader
of the House, sources said.
Some sources said there were
actual exchange of blows by the
feuding legislators while some
said the four lawmakers merely
exchanged verbal assaults for the
most part of the meeting, with
Mr. Onyema charging towards
Mr. Ezeonwuka to land a slap on
his face.
“Mr. Onyema ran towards Mr.
Ezeonwuka and attempted to
punch him in the face,” a source
said. “But other lawmakers
quickly intervened and separated
the two men from manhandling
each other.”
PREMIUM TIMES’ findings
revealed the lawmakers were
trying to maintain their individual
strongholds of their party in their
respective constituencies.
Mr. Ezeonwuka confirmed the
development to PREMIUM TIMES
on Monday night.
Mr. Ezeonwuka said the
argument started after he
objected to Mr. Onyema’s
membership of a committee,
saying he “cannot be a judge in
his own case.”
Mr. Ezeonwuka said Mr. Onyema
had been repeatedly used by Ms.
Oduah to manipulate elections
within the party.
“Onyema is the one that
implemented all the Stella
Oduah’s plans because he sees
Stella Oduah as his God,” Mr.
Ezeonwuka said. “But I told him
that he’s an interested party and
must not be a member of the
committee.”
“It was that time that Stella
Oduah now stood up and said
‘who is that idiot?’”
Mr. Ezeonwuka said Mr. Onyema
charged towards him from the
wooden rostrum to beat him in
defence of Ms. Oduah.
“He wanted to shout me down,
but I told him I won’t shut up.
Then he came down from the
podium that he wanted to come
and beat me, but I was just
looking at him,” Mr. Ezeonwuka
said.
Mr. Ezeonwuka said Ms. Oduah
is desperate because she’s “a
weak politician.”
“She’s now desperate because of
her weakness and coming to
Anambra State to talk nonsense.
Is it because she was made a
minister?”
“I have been in the PDP since
1999 and I am a grassroots
politician, unlike Stella Oduah
who started her politics in Abuja.
She has no structure in Anambra
State, she’s just using her money
to buy people, which is irrelevant
to me.”
“When Ms. Ikpeazu was trying to
expatiate on the point I made,
Stella Oduah started insulting her
and they both starting insulting
each other, you know women
talk.”
Mr. Ezeonwuka also told
PREMIUM TIMES that the Caucus
did not discuss anything about
fuel price crisis, consequently
punching holes in the claim made
by House Minority Leader, Leo
Ogor, that the members
discussed and concluded that
President Buhari’s administration
must apologise to former
President Jonathan because Mr.
Buhari was part of those who
opposed subsidy when Mr.
Jonathan first attempted to
deregulate the downstream sector
in 2012.
“We only discussed the party’s
upcoming national convention
and no issues about fuel crisis
were raised during the meeting,”
Mr. Ezeonwuka said.
Ms. Oduah also confirmed her
fight with the other lawmakers to
PREMIUM TIMES, but denied it
was a serious altercation.
“Two people just disagreed on a
subject, does that make it
strange? In a meeting where you
have almost two hundred people?
“Somebody raised an opinion
that I did not agree with. And it
is bound to happen where you’re
having meeting of this sort.
“We just disagreed on a subject
matter which I cannot disclose to
you,” Ms. Oduah said.
In his reaction, Mr. Onyema said
Mr. Ezeonwuka was not in the
country when the congresses
were conducted, so he couldn’t
have known all that transpired
(at the acrimonious congress).
“I did not have any brawl with
him. But The said they wanted
primaries and the other group
said they don’t want primaries
and they went ahead to conduct
their own illegal primaries,
“He wasn’t in the country, he
went to the United States and
just got back, he should have
allowed those of us who have
been on ground to explain to him
what happened instead of going
about making false accusations
that somebody forged the
results.”
When PREMIUM TIMES reached
Ms. Ikpeazu, she denied
knowledge of the brawl, claiming
she was working on some
documents while the meeting was
going on.
“I had some urgent documents
that I am working on so I wasn’t
listening,” Ms. Ikpeazu said. “I
know they had some
disagreement but I don’t know
those involved.”
But this newspaper established
clearly that she was part of the
entire commotion at the meeting,
and was merely being economical
with the truth.
