Crime / Indian Govt Ban Possesion Of Beef Meat....5yrs Jail Term 4 Offenders. by nikolasx: 4:19pm On Mar 03, 2015
India’s western state of Maharashtra has introduced a ban on beef so strict that even possession could land you in jail for five years, media reports and the chief minister said Tuesday. The country’s Hindu majority considers cows sacred, and several states already ban their slaughter. But the latest measures in Maharashtra — home to India’s commercial centre Mumbai — go even further, making sale or possession of beef an offence punishable by a five-year jail term or a 10,000 rupee ($160) fine.
The Indian Express newspaper said the measures became law after President Pranab Mukherjee gave his assent to a legal amendment passed by the state parliament two decades ago. The measures include a ban on the slaughter of bulls and bullocks, hitherto legal with a vet’s certificate, although it will still be legal to slaughter buffalo. Maharashtra’s chief minister Devendra Fadnavis tweeted his thanks to the president, saying “our dream of ban on cow slaughter becomes a reality now”.
Right-wing Hindu groups in India have long demanded a complete ban on the slaughter of all cattle, citing religious scriptures. The main players in the beef industry are Muslims, the country’s largest religious minority, who make up some 13 percent of India’s 1.25-billion population. Maharashtra state is ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party in alliance with the far-right Shiv Sena party.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/indian-state-bans-beef-introduces-jail-time-for-possession/

Politics / Nigerian NA Denied Having Buhari's credentials by nikolasx: 4:20pm On Jan 20, 2015
We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials – Nigerian Army Release Statement






The Nigerian Army says it does not have in its possession the original or copies of the credentials of the presidential candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. The position of the army was made known at a press conference in Abuja today Jan. 20th. The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig, Gen O. Laleye addressed news men. What he said below…

Gentlemen of the Press, I am pleased to welcome everyone back from the Christmas and the 2015 New Year festivities. On behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army, I wish you all a happy and more fulfilling 2015. Since our last media briefing on 31 December, 2014, some issues relating to the Nigerian Army have occurred and this briefing is holding specifically to address them.

I will begin with the Major General Muhammadu Buhari certificate controversy.

Gentlemen, let me state clearly that the Nigerian Army holds the retired senior officer in very high esteem and respect and would not be a party to any controversy surrounding his eligibility for any political office. Suffice to state that Major General Buhari rose steadily to the enviable rank of Major General before becoming the Head of State of our dear country in December 1983.

The media hype on retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s credentials as well as the numerous requests made by individuals and corporate bodies to the Nigerian Army on this issue have necessitated that we provide the facts as contained in the retired senior officer’s service record.

Records available indicate that Major General M Buhari applied to join the military as a Form Six student of the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina on 18 Oct 61. His application was duly endorsed by the Principal of the school, who also wrote a report on him and recommended him to be suitable for military commission. It is a practice in the NA that before candidates are shortlisted for commissioning into the officers’ cadre of the Service, the Selection Board verifies the original copies of credentials that are presented.

However, there is no available record to show that this process was followed in the 1960s.

Nevertheless, the entry made on the NA Form 199A at the point of documentation after commission as an officer indicated that the former Head of State obtained the West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1961 with credits in relevant subjects: English Language, Geography, History, Health Science, Hausa and a pass in English Literature. Neither the original copy, Certified True Copy (CTC) nor statement of result of Major General M Buhari’s WASC result is in his personal file.

I hope this explanation will put to rest the raging controversy surrounding the secondary school credentials of Major General Mohammed Buhari as it affects the Nigerian Army.

I will also seize this opportunity to make some observations on the recent CNN report titled ‘The Battle Against Boko Haram’, which was aired a few days ago. I believe we all hold the CNN in high esteem. However, CNN’s report on issues concerning kitting, equipment, medical treatment and corruption in the Nigerian Army is perhaps the best example of a media house’s show of bias, ignorance, poor journalism, unprofessionalism and handiwork of a sponsored documentary. Let me start with kitting. It would interest you to know that there is no Army in the world where personnel do not purchase additional uniforms and kits to augment those officially issued to them. Accordingly, the Nigerian Army without fail issues uniforms and kits to its personnel periodically.

Like other armies, the NA has over the years, established ordnance shops in all its barracks and cantonments where uniforms and kits are sold at subsidized prices to its personnel from allowances already provided in their pay slips. Similarly, you will agree with me that the NA has a very functional health care delivery system in the country. There is

Two persons were, yesterday, trampled to death in a stampede during the All Progressives Party, APC, presidential campaign visit to Plateau State.
The victims, Sunday Vanguard confirmed, were trying to force their way out of the crowded Rwang Pam Township Stadium, venue of the event, when they were trampled on and they gave up the ghost.
Before the tragedy, the APC presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari, had addressed the mammoth crowd, promising to restore security in the north eastern zone of the country as well as improve on the agriculture and education sectors.
He assured the unemployed youths of massive employment opportunities if voted into power in next month’s election.@vanguard.com

Education / Re: Bayelsa Govt Releases N200 Million To Kick-start Students’ Bursary Payment by nikolasx: 11:13pm On Aug 13, 2014
pmonni: Tamuno Briggs

The Bayelsa State Government says it has released the sum of N200 million for the payment of bursary allowances to its students studying in institutions of higher learning across the country.

Governor Seriake Dickson, who disclosed this while responding to a question during a live interview programme in Yenagoa, said the funds were already at the disposal of the state scholarships board for disbursement.
Describing the amount released so far as the first tranche, he indicated government’s readiness to provide more funds to ensure that, all outstanding bursary entitlements are cleared soon.

The Governor, however, urged the students to be patient and cooperate with the board by complying with the processes being put in place to ensure a hitch-free payment of the allowance.

According to him:“When I said I was going to pay bursary from last month, I kept to my word by releasing the first tranche of N200 million. So, your money is already with the scholarship board and I believe they are following their processes, because we are a government of due process.

“So, tell your colleagues to also follow all laid down processes, because that is not the Bayelsa we want to build for you the younger people. That is why we are re-organising this state to make it a better place for you people.
“The money is there. By the time they finish, I will add more until all your bursary entitlements are settled. And I count on you also be good students.

Apart from the bursary allowances, he said the government was also keeping faith with the payment of inherited pension and 18% minimum wage arrears, despite dwindling revenues accruing to the state.

On efforts at tackling unemployment, Governor Dickson noted that, though it is a global problem, his administration is taking practical steps such as provision of vocational training, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) development fund, among others, to address the scourge.
While urging the youths to take advantage of the various empowerment programmes already put in place by the present administration, he pointed out that, government alone could not absorb the whole army of unemployed youths in the state, through the provision of white collar jobs.

He said, “I am not one of those politicians that will tell you lies. I will tell you what most people will not want to hear. The truth is that government cannot provide automatic employment for every available graduate and young person in Bayelsa State.
But, let me assure you that we are concerned about the issue. There are some employments that we have authorised. A number of people know that, we have employed more youths within this 2 year period, than a lot of governments. We have employed 200 youths as forest guides on the basis of equality of local governments”, he added.
