Woman Caught With Dead New Born Baby Inside Sack

A 40-year-old widow identified as Mujidat was caught on Wednesday with a dead day old baby hidden in a sack around her home at 2, Reverend Alimi street, NEPA phase 1, Ijagemo in Iba local council development area of Lagos state.

The mother of five was caught by a high Chief, Babatunde Balogun a member of the community when she was trying to dispose the baby at about 5p.m on Wednesday.

According to report, when Balogun questioned her on the content of the sack, she said it contained household items which bought from the market but when he looked closely, he noticed it was a dead day old baby which the woman had allegedly just delivered.

That was when he raised an alarm calling the attention of other residents.

Mujidat said she didn’t see the need of going to any hospital to deliver as she found delivery easy and therefore claimed to have done everything herself.

It was gathered that different men have been visiting her home after the death of her husband three years ago.

When asked if she planned to throw away the baby because of an alleged paternity mess, she denied, claiming that a welder turned block maker near her residence was responsible for the pregnancy that resulted in the birth of the dead baby she was caught with. .

Officials of the Community Development Association, CDA, in the area later accompanied the woman and her sack of baby to the Isheri-Oshun Police Division where the matter was reported.

At the time of this report, the woman was still being interrogated

MUST READ: My Daughters Told Me Their Father Had Séx With Them – A True Life Story

Please, help me solve this problem that has torn apart and is threatening my happiness, my daughters and probably the future generations yet unborn.

I married my husband just like every other young woman and we both looked forward to a blissfull future with our children. Contrary to the belief of some people that I would have problems bearing children, through God’s mercy, my three children came few years into our union.

A lot of people believed we would have to wait on the Lord for the blessing of the fruit of the womb as that was the tradition in my husband’s family, but God singled us out and we had our children without any hitch.

With these, our joy was complete and we never envisaged that these children would be a source of discord in our family now.

I am a trained nurse with a B.Sc in Nursing from Glasgow, Scotland and my husband is also a trained professional engineer. We both had good jobs until my husband lost his job and getting another good well paid job became difficult.

We both decided that I should travel out of the country to practise and when I am stabilised, he would join me with the children.

9 TIPS EVERY SMART WOMAN SHOULD FOLLOW

BY GREG AFAMAH

Dedicated and smart women, most times, fail to recognise their smartness. They often think to themselves that they're not ready to take on that next bigger task. They focus too much on what they are not qualified for than of what they are, and wait for somebody to discover or even validate them. But now, it’s time to step up and act as the smart woman that you are. These 10 tips for owning your smartness and bringing it to the world will help out:

1 You need to make an agreement: Nobody aside from you is going to shape the life you want for yourself. Nobody will even be able to wholly appreciate the life you want. No doubt, people will come and praise you on along the way, but know that it’s your life. You need to decide to be in it by yourself for the long haul, and be your very own supportive pal at every step of the way.

2 Start envisioning it: Ask yourself, what is the career that appears so unconceivable you think it’s very nearly unlawful to have it? Ask yourself what that dream is that you don’t let yourself even contemplate because it appears too impracticable, frivolous, or crazy? Envisioning it is the beginning of having it.

3 Things that can make you pulsate quickly: To get the adrenalin flowing in you, start doing things that will make you pulsate quickly. Find out what your gasp-level action is. What will chatter in your head are your uncertainties and a harsh innermost faultfinder. That’s fine and okay. When next you hear that monotonous, unfounded, unpleasant innermost faultfinder, think of it as just an awful deceiver, trying to keep you from any real or seeming possibilities. Try things that can make you pulsate quickly and you’ll see how untrue your innermost faultfinder’s story actually is, and how soluble your uncertainties are.

4 Get used to wins and losses: Sometimes you will get thumbs up if you take risks, and sometimes you won’t. There’s no leader or innovator who does not have passionate admirers and harsh criticisers. So get used to wins, losses, praise, pans, and being snubbed. Let go of craving to be liked and wanting to be generally identified as “Ms Nice Girl.”

5 Be a little more arrogant: Just try and be a little more arrogant even if it’s tough for you to do. Be more like those guys in the office who share their thoughts and rally everyone around their big, often unformed ideas without thinking. Move a few steps in that direction and you’ll be better off.

6 Don’t wait for an award: Don’t expect praises, anointments, validations or permission to lead from someone before you make that move. Don’t await invitation from anyone before sharing your voice. No one will discover you like that except after you have started bravely and unswervingly moving towards leadership, sharing your voice, and doing things that ordinarily scare the hell out of you.

7 Sieve the advice you get. Often, smart women are modest and open to advice and like to get opinions. But know that some people cannot comprehend what you are up to mostly because you are saying something new and advance. Some will find you out of their league; others will feel threatened, while the rest people will want to do just what is interesting or beneficial to them from your idea. Consequently, you should read between the lines of people’s opinions. Assess advice and weigh the fallouts, don’t just following it.

8 Stop, recover and restore: If you’ve done the things that make you pulsate quickly, doing what you don’t to a certain extent feel ready to do, and being more arrogant, you would have moved out of your comfort zone a great deal. So now be cautious and check how much risk-taking juice you have left. If it’s running low, you need to stop, recover and then restore.

9 Tell fellow women how smart they are: Mention to other women the kind of Smartness you see in them and why it’s so exceptional. Invite them into grander leadership and exploit. Make them believe that they are all set. Don’t think that because you had to struggle and suffer on your way up the ladder, they should too. Clear a path by being able to walk in it confidently.

35 senators have no Bills in two years to show for over N13b in earnings

By Amuda Lackren

Despite receiving more than N13 billion in salaries, allowances and benefits that clearly positions members of the Nigerian Senate as the world’s best paid lawmakers, at least 35 serving senators have not listed a single Bill in their name since taking office in 2011, an investigation by The Nigerian Voice has shown.

Between 2011 and June 2013, each senator drew about N400 million in salaries, allowances, and self-allocated bonuses, according to details of lawmakers’ allowances, as well as listed earnings for federal lawmakers stipulated by the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

The Senate chamber in the National Assembly. The National Assembly is seen in some quarters as a huge drain to the nation’s finances.

For the 35 members, the sum for two years totals N13.2 billion, and N41 billion for all 109 members.

But while a majority of the lawmakers have made fair efforts at delivering in their primary law making duties, sponsoring at least one Bill between June 2011 and June 2013, 35 of them have posted not one.

In that duration, 74 senators, an impressive figure relative to past years, sponsored and followed through with a minimum of at least one legislation apiece. A few presented more than a dozen Bills, with the Senate Majority Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba(PDP, Cross River), sponsoring the highest number, 25.

Other Senators, each with a minimum of 10 Bills are Ben Ayade (PDP Cross Rivers state) – 18 Bills; Ita Enang, (PDP Akwa Ibom) – 13 Bills; Dominic Obende, (ACN Edo) – 12 Bills; Smart Adeyemi, (PDP Kogi) – 11 Bills; and Ifeanyi Okowa, (PDP Delta) – 11 Bills.

At the bottom of the ranking are two states – Zamfara and Borno – with none of their Senators presenting a single Bill in two years.

Senator Yerima, who is at the centre of the Child’s Rights Act controversy has not presented a Bill since he became a Senator.

The figures, provided by the Senate’s Business and Rules committee, which catalogues each member’s legislative activities from Bills, motions to petitions, appear a fresh justification for Nigerians’ perennial concern about how much their representatives at the National Assembly actually deliver to justify their huge annual earnings.

Each Senator, according to RMAFC, is entitled to N8.2 million annually or N683,000 monthly as salaries. This salaries are exclusive of allowances such as estacodes, cars and furniture.

But the comprehensive compensation runs far higher into several millions per quarter of a year, as the legislators also approve what they call “running cost” to themselves. For “running cost”, each senator currently draws N45 million quarterly – about N180 million annually, in addition to the “meagre” salary.

Lawmakers, weary of the public’s outrage over their pay, are often quick to cite the few hundreds of thousands monthly as nothing exceptional or deserving of the aggressive attention they receive.

But despite the huge pay, quite little has been delivered on legislation since 2011, according to the Business and Rules committee.

In all, 342 Bills have been presented to the Senate within the period; many of them, however,  are non-member Bills sent either by the executive, for example, budget bills; or forwarded by the House of Representatives for concurrence.

Of that number, only 28 bills have been fully passed by the Senate. Again, out of that of number, 20 are executive-sponsored. So, effectively, senators have only delivered fully on eight bills after drawing over N41 billion in earnings since 2011.

Senate President, David Mark, has not sponsored a Bill in the last two years.

The eight bills comprise of two each from Ndoma-Egba, and the deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, (Enugu State); and one apiece from Chris Anyanwu (Imo State); Paulinus Igwe (Imo State); Uche Chukwumerije (Abia State); and Dahiru Kuta, (Niger State).

The Business and Rules Committee chair, Ita Enang, said the apparently low output notwithstanding, the Senate recorded “tremendous achievements” with landmark bills in its first half of two years.

Some of the “landmark” Bills are Occupational Safety and Health Bill (Anyanwu); Court of Appeal amendment Bill (Ndoma-Egba); Act Authentication amendment Act (Igwe); Retirement Age of Staff of Polytechnics and Colleges of Education (Chukwumerije), Hyperdec Act amendment Bill (Kuta); Federal High Court Bill (Ekweremadu); Prisons repeal and re-enactment Act (Ndoma-Egba), and State of the Nation Address Bill (Ekweremadu).

The two relatively important Bills passed by the Senate and which could be considered landmark – Terrorism and Money Laundering amendment acts – are executive sponsored.

The lawmakers argue that besides Bills, the Senate has also delivered on other functions including motions and resolutions on pressing national issues, confirmation of appointments, as well as oversight duties on the other arms of government.

Those without Bills in two years, as analysed by The Nigerian Telegraph, based on figures from the Senate committee on Business and Rules are:

PRESS STATEMENT DURA PACK WORKERS CONTINUE STRUGGLE FOR UNIONISATION AND DECENT WORK SOLIDARITY ACTIONS BY TRADE UNIONS AND PRO-LABOUR ORGANISATIONS URGENTLY NEEDED!

PRESS STATEMENT
DURA PACK WORKERS CONTINUE STRUGGLE FOR UNIONISATION AND DECENT WORK
SOLIDARITY ACTIONS BY TRADE UNIONS AND PRO-LABOUR ORGANISATIONS URGENTLY NEEDED!
INTRODUCTION
There was the continuation of mass protest and rally by Dura Pack workers to demand that Dura Pack management respect the right of workers to belong to a union of their choice as freely exercised on October 7, 2013. Today October 25, 2013 is the 19th day workers began the struggle to demand their rights to belong to a union of their choice and for better working condition. There was solidarity from pro-labour organisations like Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM), Joint Action Front (JAF), members of the College of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education and Campaign for Democratic and Workers’ Rights (CDWR).
The National Secretary of JAF, Abiodun Aremu, the Deputy National President of the union (NUCFRLANMPE), Mr. Babatunde Goke Olatunji, the National Mobilisation Officer of JAF, Peluola Adewale addressed workers and the press. Mr. B.G Olatunji who represented the President of the union called on workers to remain resolute and that the union is ready to back their demands till the end. He informed the workers that the union has taken the management of Dura Pack to the National Industrial Court.  The workers were encouraged to fight on by the presence of members of the union and pro-labour organisations who came to give solidarity to them. Different placards were brandished by workers to drive home their demands. The placards read thus: “Mr. Law is a slave driver”, “End Casualisation Now”, “Mr. Law must go”, “Respect all Workers Right”, “we want Union of our Choice”, “workers need better working condition” etc.
Despite 3 CTV cameras that are positioned at the entrance of the gate, workers were not intimidated. Workers were enthusiastic and vowed to continue the actions until management respects workers’ rights. The Chinese management has introduced this tactics to intimidate workers and to spot leading workers’ activists for possible victimisation. It explains why the management rejected the union’s demand to sign agreement not to victimize workers after the strike actions
BELOW IS THE FULL TEXT OF THE LEAFLETS PRODUCED BY CDWR AND DISTRIBUTED TO WORKERS, PRESS AND THE PUBLIC
Since October 11, the workers of Dura Pack, Lagos, have been on indefinite strike over the demand for unionization and improved working conditions. The action actually started on October 7 when the mass movement of workers and pro-labour activists marking the International Decent Work Day picketed the factory to launch a trade union branch of the National Union of Chemical, Footwear and Non-Metallic Workers (NUCFRLANMPE). See: http://www.socialistnigeria.org/page.php?article=2273. The workers who had been working in slave-like conditions and on poor pay, felt liberated and emboldened to formally join the NUCFRLANMPE the union which had been trying to organize the workers in 2009. In the presence of the Chinese management of the company and mass contingent of workers and pro-labour activists led by Issa Aremu the NLC National Vice President, the workers elected a 7-man executive.
The workers however went on strike on October 8 after the management refused to recognize their right to join the union and form an executive. With the intervention of the Ministry of Labour which called a tripartite meeting of the ministry, management and union over the issues for October 10, the strike was suspended on October 9. It is instructive to state that the workers insisted that the Campaign for Democratic and Workers Rights' (CDWR) which has been identifying and helping organize them since April 2013 should be represented at the meeting.
The workers resumed the strike on October 11 after learning that the management did not attend the October 10 meeting at the Ministry of Labour. Since then they have remained on strike with a daily protest rally as the management refused to meet their demands. When the management eventually appeared at another meeting at the ministry on October 17, they remained intransigent and refused to shift any ground. The union even offered that the workers could suspend the strike if the management signed agreement that no worker would be victimized as a result of the strike, and proposed another day within 7 days wherein the union would come to conduct another election. The management representatives refused and maintained that the management would not recognize the union because the picketing of the company by the NLC was unacceptable to them.
The management was represented by the company's lawyer and the Personnel Manager to the West Africa Rubber Factory in Ikorodu, who claimed to be representing the Lee Group. Lee is a group of Chinese companies notorious for rabid anti-labour practices. It should be recalled that at the West Africa Rubber Factory in 2002 about 30 workers on night duty were burnt to death in an inferno. The management who habitually treats workers as prisoners used to lock workers up inside the factory without any convenient outlet in case of emergency. This was why when there was fire incident on that fateful day there was no easy escape route for the workers. On the union delegation were seven of the elected representatives of the workers and CDWR representative.
Dura Pack workers have been agitating for the following: 1. Increment in salary, 2. Regularisation of workers through issuance of letter of employment to all workers and agree with workers on a new condition of service, 3. Well-structured and documentation of salary including paying workers with pay slips, 4. Reinstatement of Mr. Christian Orji without loss of pay and an end to all forms of victimization of workers, 5. Adequate safety tools to be provided for all workers, 6. All workers must have a right to proceed on annual, sick leave and holidays without loss of pay, 7. Well-equipped sick bay within the premises, 8. Reduction of work hours and increase in salary.
The workers are wantonly and unlawfully fired without compensation or entitlement. No worker has a letter of appointment and condition of service. Due to lack of safety work tools a worker Mr. Kenneth Frederick died of electrocution on 16th of April 2013.
No doubt the workers enthusiastically signed up to join union in order to have a platform to fight for better condition of service, collective bargaining and better working conditions the workers have resolved to continue the strike as long as management is not ready to recognize the union they have joined. The management has threatened that it will rather close production than recognizing the union. The union has to respond with all the seriousness that it deserves. We commend the efforts of the union but it has to do more to sustain the morale of the struggling workers. For instance, none of the top key officers of the union has visited the factory to address the workers, though the union is represented at the rally of the workers almost on a daily basis by middle ranking leaders.
The CDWR, whose members have helped sustain the struggle of the Dura Pack workers, calls on the NUCFRLANMPE to mobilize workers from its other factories and other industrial unions for solidarity actions in support of the workers. We propose a 24-hour warning strike from workers of West Africa Rubber Factory since NUCFRLANMPE is the union organizing workers and the company is part of the Lee Group. There should also be a mass protest to the Chinese Embassy. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has to play active roles in this respect. The struggle at the Dura Pack is an opportunity for the NLC to prove that its documented opposition against casualisation and anti-labour practices is not a mere lip service or hot air. The ongoing struggle is being watched by other employers of labour who may take a cue if the Dura Pack management is allowed to get away with these anti-labour practices. This struggle can be won if there are sustained solidarity actions from other workers and unions. The pro-labour organizations especially the affiliates of the Joint Action Front (JAF) who participated actively at October 7 Decent Work Protest March should give solidarity actions to the striking workers.
Having been on the strike for over two weeks without any visible sign of progress, few of the workers have already started wavering. Some of them have even gone inside to collect the pay-out which they thought would be a substantial amount but turned out to be a paltry sum of between N3, 000 and N5, 000. They were even forced into signing letter of resignation prepared by the management. Good enough the majority of workers are still resolute. Indeed, the terrible experience of the frustrated black leg workers has further made the majority to be more committed to the struggle. But the top hierarchy of NUCFRLANMPE has to show and make serious efforts to sustain the morale of the workers to continue the struggle and actualize victory. We learnt that the union is planning to take the company to the industrial court. While this is welcome we strongly hold that this judicial approach should only be taken as a complementary effort to sustained solidarity activities by the union and NLC.

EKITI GURBER TUSSLE OVER ZONING

By Amid a Emmanuel

Ekiti State was created on october 1,1996 by Late General Sani Abacha. After three years of the state creation,Nigeria returned to Democracy.
Out of the three zones in the state,Two zones(central and North) had been controlling the power affairs of the state since 14 years democracy and two zones classified Ekiti South as alien Sons and Daughters.

The highlighted above shows that it was Ekiti South that has never produced a governor of the state,Even the Federal appointee only Dr Tunde Odunsina(Ise Ekiti) Ekiti South was appointed as Minister just less than a year since 1999.
Ekiti people,we need to focus on the Governorship aspirants that come from Ekiti South Senatorial district.
Infact,Ekiti South have 6 LGA while other two Zones had 5 LGA each.

Ekiti South Senatorial District should wake up from Slumber,it is high time to reposition our self.

It is possible that Ekiti state will decide who will be there next governor that will governs them but we should not forget the fact in the interest of Equity,Justice and Fairness,every section of the state should have a sense of belonging.

Ekiti State belongs to all of us and not a particular zone.
Ekiti South should be given the chance to present the next Governor.
God Bless Ekiti State

All the 20,000 cadets of the Youth Empowerment Scheme of Oyo State (YES-O) have been directed by the state government to re-apply for the scheme, with immediate effect.

This was contained in a statement issued in Ibadan on Thursday by the Chairman of Oyo State Agency for Youth Development, Mr. Gbenga Olayemi.

Olayemi, in the statement, said the directive for the cadets to re-apply was borne out of the need for the state government’s drive and quest to re-invigorate the scheme for optimum performance.

It would be recalled that the YES-O scheme was inaugurated by the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi on December 1, 2011, with a total of 20,000 youths offered employment.

Although the scheme was aimed at serving as a stop-gap for most of the unemployed youths, a number of them have since been given permanent employment by the state government in various ministries, agencies and parastatals.

Specifically, agencies such as the Oyo State Road Transport Management Authority (OYRTMA), Vehicle Inspection Office, Board for Technical and Vocational Education (BOTAVED), Oyo State Fire Service, Oyo State Signage and Advertisement Agency OYSAA), College of Agriculture, Igbo-Ora as well as the Auditor-General’s Office, the Ministries of Health and the Oyo State Finance Company have absorbed some cadets.

Besides, some of them have also been made to undergo three-month specialized training in different vocations such as Auto-tronics, tie and dye, tiling and interlocking, food processing and graphic arts with the Industrial Training Fund while others have been trained in Agro-allied business by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Governor Ajimobi had, however, at various times, expressed displeasure at the conduct of some YES-O cadets, saying that his office had been inundated with the report of harassment and extortion of members of the public by the cadets.

He also said that he was aware of the clandestine acts by the opposition in infiltrating the scheme with a view to making use of some officials in dealing with innocent members of the public so as to discredit the scheme.

``I have received several reports of how some of you have been beating people and carting away the traders’ wares. Let me emphasize here that YES-O was not set up to wage war on members of the public. We will not condone thuggery, harassment and extortion,’’ the governor had told the cadets.

Olayemi directed all the cadets, who are to be demobilized immediately, to re-apply from their respective ward/local government, adding that criteria for fresh recruitment would include educational qualifications and physical fitness, among others.

MEN PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM US-NURSING MOTHERS

Men have been advised to stay away from their wives’ br**sts while the latter are chest feeding their children. It is necessary to avoid causing wounds on the br**sts and exposing the children to infection.

Professor Angela Oyo Ita, the Cross River State Commissioner for Health during the 2013 chest Feeding Week at Akpabuyo local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, stated that men, who share their wives’ br**sts while they are chest feeding could inflict wound on the br**sts and if the woman is HIV positive, the infection could transfer to the child.

Professor Oyo Ita, represented by the Director Nutrition of the Ministry of Health, Mrs Regina Adie, urged women to practice exclusive chest feeding as chest milk contains 80% of water and 20% of minerals needed for the child’s growth and for keeping the baby healthy and strong.
She said myths that a child that is exclusively fed on chest milk for six months would at some point die out of thirst is not true because beast milk contains enough water to keep the child happy and satisfied.

“Some time ago, we came here and had a meeting with the men and called on them to support their wives to carry out exclusive chest feeding for their children and the men said no because the children would die from the thirst for water, but that is not true”.

What is more, according to her words, during the chest feeding mother-child relationships become stronger and closer.

Mrs Rosemary Effiong, the Chairman of Akpabuyo Local Government Area, represented by the Secretary of Council, Mr Edem Okon, added the council would continue providing the required support for mothers by means of financial empowerment to enable them feed well to chest feed their children.

NIGERIA HOUSE OF BOXERTENTIVES

Over the years, Nigerians got use to members of the Nigerian House of Representatives fighting themselves in the hallowed chambers of lawmaking. Essentially, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with legislators shoving and punching each other in the legislative House. Undoubtedly, it is indecorous. But what of if it is genuinely in defense of the constitution? Then, it will be impassioned and high-minded political debate taken a notch higher.

After all, the legislature is supposed to be a stronghold of intrepid and vigilant guardians of the constitution. And what responsible and dedicated sentinel is not prepared to put up a fight in defense of what is entrusted to his care. It is wonderful if the battles to defend the constitution remain verbal and courteous but there is nothing wrong with them turning messy, unruly, and even, physical.

Also, human behavior is driven by interests – personal, group, ideological, etc. These diverse interests are continually playing out: fusing, diverging, overlapping, conflicting, etc in the homes, market places, government offices, embassies, etc. And politics, especially, democratic politics, should be the equitable and just resolution of these interests. Reinhold Niebuhr was making the same point when he wrote that “the duty of (democratic) politics is to establish justice in a sinful world”. And the legislative chamber, as the epicenter of national politics, is the nucleus of this process of judiciously resolving multifarious interests – most of which are not altruistic and humane but predatory, vicious and sleazy, that is, sinful. And, of course, the task of establishing justice in a sinful world cannot always be steep in etiquette and civility.

Political debates in the United States of American Senate and House of Representatives are painstaking and vigorous, yet, well-mannered. Parliamentary debates in some countries, like Israel and Britain, are full of interruptions and catcalls, and are, sometimes, very acerbic. In some other countries of the world, like South Korea, Taiwan and Ukraine, legislative debates have, in the past, degenerated to physical fights among the lawmakers. So, physical brawl among legislators is not peculiar to Nigeria. Therefore, our concern should be less on Nigerian lawmakers fighting and more on what makes them fight. For that which makes a man to loose all control and jettison every atom of decency and resort to the most primeval of human instincts is a major index of him.

To great and enlightened minds, the objects of life are moral worth and fame. But to petty minds and vulgar temperaments material gains and pleasure are the primary aims of life.  So, if the ranks of our lawmakers are studded with great and enlightened minds, the activities of the House would have been mostly actuated by their oath of office, to uphold the constitution of Nigeria, which has in its tenor, character and spirit the welfare and betterment of the Nigerian people. And their debates would have been high-minded, marked by high morals and elevated ethics and informed by democratic ideals, such as, accountability, patriotism, justice, rule of law, etc. And then, the disturbing scenes they present when they physically fight in the House will be well meaning but disorderly attempt to advance the public good. As such, we will be dismayed by the method but enlivened by the motive.

Lamentably, the Nigerian House of Representatives is replete with petty minds and vulgar temperaments. In their obsession with material gains and pleasure, they voted for themselves the highest known salaries and allowances for legislators in the world, and maintain extravagantly luxurious lifestyles that will awe-struck even the rich and famous of the world’s wealthiest countries. Flush with money and sheltered in islands of opulence amid the vast encompassing poverty and deprivation – the cruel grind – that marks the lives of most Nigerians; they, deliberately, isolate themselves from the people that they supposedly represent.
Preoccupied with perks and pomp of office, self-enrichment and the entrenchment of the privileges of the political class, they are neither committed to public service nor responsive to the legitimate aspirations of the people. Consequently, for the most part, their legislations have not advanced social justice and a more principled distribution of the national wealth, but reinforced the status quo. And the status quo engenders the inordinate wealth of an elite few at the economic misery of the generality of the people.
Despite, their incomprehensibly excessive salaries and allowances, Nigerian legislators are not weaned from corruption. A number of earlier Speakers of the House of Representatives left office in disgrace, accused of misappropriation of public funds. Some House committees assigned to investigate government and corporate corruptions and improprieties ended up being accused and investigated for receiving bribes from the government and business officials they were investigating.

So, the boxing by the boxers in the Nigerian House of Representatives has not been inspired by democratic ideals but by greed, corruption and political intolerance. It is high time we improved on the quality of men and women we elect to represent us in the legislature. As of now, it is filled with men and women, who are out to steal, lie and fight over the spoils of power under the guise of representing the people.

ANOTHER AIR CRASH AVERTED IN LAGOS

A Lagos bound Arik Air flight was aborted on Wednesday night in Abuja when the aircraft allegedly developed technical issues and refused to start.

The flight, which was to transport passenger from the local wing of the Abuja airport to the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, was scheduled for 7pm but was delayed till about 8pm.

According to one of the intending travelers, Dominic, who spoke to Channels Television, “the passengers had checked in and were about boarding the aircraft when some people noticed the pilot was having issues in his seat.

“After a few minutes, a member of the Arik team announced to us in front of the airplane that there was a technical issue” and so they would have to wait for another aircraft from Lagos, to ferry them to their destination.

“So we had to wait another 1 hour and a few minutes for the arrival of another plane.”

Following the series of air mishaps and accidents which have occurred in the Nigerian airspace, including the Akure bound Associated Airline plane which crashed on October 3rd but not before giving the pilot warning signals, some passengers gave Airk Air kudos for not “managing the airplane” on Wednesday night.

The passengers finally arrived in Lagos at about 12 midnight on another aircraft.

he overpowered me and he tied me up in his hotel,stuffed my mouth so I couldn't scream,and he raped me several times …again and again and again. 
He said his baba said I was the perfect candidate for his rituals and for his upcoming election to take place properly next year so he would win.i was in shock and in denial,i couldn't even believe it,i have heard stories never thought i would experience it first hand in this cruel way from someone i knew. 

Every day for two hours i was raped over and over again by this man ,i was still bound and gagged.he beat me up and did all kinds of things to me,i was helpless and cried bitter tears to no avail 
because no one could hear me.

AJIMOBI STRESSES MILITARY-MEDIA PARTNERSHIP OVER BOKO HARAM

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has stressed the need for the military and the media to partner over the insurgency ravaging some parts of the country.

According to him, the relationship would make nationalism to be the major consideration in reporting of the insurgency which is ravaging some states in the Northern part of the country.

The governor spoke at an interactive session on Civil Society Organizations-Military Relations in Nigeria with the theme: ``Consolidating Civil-Military Relations for Improved National Security’’ held at the 2 Mechanized Division of the Nigerian Army, Ibadan on Monday.

Ajimobi, who expressed concern over what he called unfavorable and unpleasant media opinions and news reporting which he said had affected military morale and operations, said that a partnership between the two would change this tone of reporting.

Consequently, he stressed the urgent need for a definition of the relationship between the military and the media as a sub-set of the civil public.

According to him, the relationship between the military and the media has become necessary, as it will lead to training media practitioners on constructive and nationalistic news reporting. 

``The media stands to play a very great role in the process of dialogue between the military and civil society on civil-military relations. Since the advent of these insurgents, there is no doubt that some unfavorable and unpleasant media opinions and news reporting have affected military morale and even operations.

``That is why the relationship between the military and the media will lead to training media practitioners on constructive and nationalistic news reporting.

``Apart from the fact that knowledge of the precarious nature of the insurgency would shape media reportage of the bloodletting from a national perspective, rather than a sensational one, dialoguing with the media would make its practitioners see security issues from their proper perspective, rather than the usual journalistic quest for bad stories that are good stories.

``This will effectively tame influences of judgment on the insurgency which are most times driven by ethnicity, religion, inaccuracy and plain mischief,’’ he said.

While acknowledging the strategic role being played by the media in the formation of opinions by the people on national and international issues, the governor said the media thus needed to be brought into the nature of the challenges posed to the territorial integrity of the nation by the rampaging insurgents who had made bloodletting their pastime. 

Governor Ajimobi noted that the Nigerian nation was facing dire security challenges at the moment, stressing that the onslaught of Boko Haram insurgents in some parts of the North had posed a serious threat to the survival and continuous existence of the nation.

``The Nigerian military has so far successfully contained and repelled the advancement of this needless insurgency but at very great cost to its officers and men.

``Being a recent development in Nigerian civil/military relations, the two civil/military publics must take into consideration these challenges, as well as the roles expected to be played by both parties in this most recent national threat,’’ he said.

Governor Ajimobi recalled that during the long years of military rule, the relationship between the civil and military publics was mutually hostile and full of suspicion against each other.

``While the military saw the civilian public as responsible for the decay of the Nigerian nation, as epitomized by the hard knock it always gives the civil elite in its take-over speeches, the latter held the military responsible for the ills that have plagued the nation and held her backwards in her decades of existence.

``The refrain in discourses of long military rule was that if the military had allowed the civilians to tumble and fumble on the way of democratic governance, Nigeria would have been closer to the democratic Eldorado sought by the nation. The mutual antagonism and no-love-lost relationship between the two was therefore expected.

This, he said, was worsened by the fact that the civil public had little or no knowledge about the military institution or even security matters.

He, however, added that the civil rule of the last 14 years had redrawn the map of that relationship, adding ``it is daily occurring to the two publics that they need each other to move the nation forward and engender peace in the nation’’.

Governor Ajimobi also said that his administration had been partnering with the military towards ensuring peace and order in Oyo State, assuring that his government would continue on the path of good governance.

The Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major-Gen. Bola Koleoso reiterated the commitment of the military towards the harmonious relationship between the Nigerian army and the public in order to make the country a safer place for Nigerians and foreigners alike to live in and do legitimate businesses.

The Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika described the interactive session as unique as it would provide a veritable platform for the military to interface with Nigerians to foster better understanding and help the Nigerian army to fulfill its constitutional role.
