"I was driving one of my posh rides in Abuja when all of a sudden these men dressed in different uniforms, army, police and even a colour that I don't even recognize just swooped on me and asked me to get down from my car. I did that and then I was told I am not authorized to have tinted glass, that it's against the law, so they proceeded to remove the tint. But all of a sudden this set of people arrived with some huge cameras I have never seen before and started recording the scene. That was when I got upset and drove away. In fact I think it was just a set up because I don't know how those people got to know what was happening at the time and they came with their cameras like it was a movie scene." Jim Iyke to Vivian Onuorah of City People Magazine.

 

 

The Inspector General of Police, Mr Hafiz Ringim, recently announced a ban on the use of tinted glasses on vehicles in the country. No reason was given for the ban, but a few specified top government officials were exempted from it. The Police were ordered to arrest drivers of vehicles with tinted glasses, except those that are factory-fitted. The ban which was announced through advertisements in the media, had a deadline of March 15, 2011. Since then,  policemen have begun a clamp down on car owners who have not complied with the order.

The growing menace of kidnapping and other vehicle-facilitated crimes in the country may have compelled the revocation of police permits which hitherto allowed car owners to use tinted glasses. The Police had wanted to monitor and account for motorists that were using tinted glasses on their vehicles by demanding that they  (car owners) obtained police permit before using such cars. However, the process soon got abused, as almost every applicant got the permit, whether the tint was factory-fitted or not. Indeed, driving a car with tinted glasses soon became a status symbol, as it conferred on the owner some mystique of social importance, with a pseudo VIP flourish. Sadly too, even policemen at checkpoints seemed to treat car owners in tinted glasses with greater respect, if not awe. That way, criminals who rode in cars with tinted glasses, sometimes with kidnapped victims in the cars, got reverent courtesies from the police and other members of the society. The need to forestall the pseudo posturing may have led to the outright ban on the tinted glasses.

While we appreciate the difficulty tinted glasses pose to the police in identifying the status of all car owners, we are concerned that the enforcement of the order may soon lose its steam. Most of the police officers, especially those of junior rank, who are often at highway checkpoints, scarcely know the difference between factory-fitted tints or local film tints.  Thus, despite the exemption of the former from the ban, the police still harass car owners with factory-fitted tints, the same way they do locally-fitted tinted cars. Many policemen have even turned the new order to avenues for monetary extortions from car owners.

 The Police authorities should therefore further educate its rank and file on the difference, as only the back windows of factory-fitted tints are darkened.

More than that, we believe that the mere use of cars with tinted glasses (factory-fitted or not) does not confer any special importance on the car or its occupants. They should thus be subjected to routine police checks, where and when the need arises. That way, those who hide under the cover of factory-fitted tinted  glasses to perpetrate crime can be nabbed and prosecuted.

We are also worried, like the Inspector General of Police, that even some state security chieftains, including policemen, are, as always, lifting themselves above the law by yet driving official and even private cars with local tints on their glasses. We are familiar with this flagrant abuse of office by security agents, as they drive, unchallenged, against traffic, ride motor cycles without helmet, drive menacingly on the highways etc. Perhaps,  they need to be reminded that those entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing the nation’s laws should not be the same people that so flippantly flout the laws of the land.

All said, we believe that while the ban should help check crime rate in the country, the issue of tinted glasses should not distract the police from the task of securing lives and property. The police should re-work their security system by exposing the men and officers to advanced and latest forms of security strategies with the aim of re-assuring Nigerians of their overall safety.

12166307292?profile=originalFolake Fadele is an actress in the Yoruba movie industry. She debuted about five years ago in a movie entitled: Ile Ola Lewu, after which Saheed Balogun spotted her for a lead role in a movie, Sako Jiya. In this chat with Adunola Fasuyi, she talks about herself, the industry and nudity in the movie industry. 
CAN you tell us a little about yourself?
My name is Folakemi Fadele Victoria Okoye; I am an actress. I went to school like every other girl who appreciates the importance of education. I am a loving lady who loves to be loved and love to love.I’m from Imo State but my mum is from Ondo in Idoani. I have sisters that are all doing well in their various fields of endeavour. My mum and my entire family live abroad.
Were you born in Lagos?
Yes, I was born in Mushin area of Lagos.
Where would you place yourself in the cadre of up and coming actresses in the industry?
Though, life itself is competitive, but I am not going to tell you where I belong in the cadre of upcoming actresses.
When I had my appearance in Ile Ola Lewu, about three years ago, I never knew I would step up as quickly as I did in the past months.
So, God, who has placed me on this level is not done with what he’s doing in my life. I am always on top.
You must have had your challenges as an aspiring actress, what were the major ones you had?
The major one, to me, is sexual harassment. I have had a couple of producers who asked me for sex before giving me a role. Though, sexual harassment is a universal phenomenon, notwithstanding, it has to be based on mutual understanding.
You don’t have to compel me to sleep with you before giving me a role to play in a movie. Aside this, other challenges are just the normal things an aspiring actress tends to face in the course of acting.
Have you dated a movie producer before?
Not really. But I can actually date a producer if he falls into the category of my kind of man. Within my short time in the industry, I have had hundreds of advances from co-actors, producers and even marketers. But as an adult, if you caught my fancy, I will date you, that’s all.
What are the qualities that stand you out from other actresses?
My lips are not the same with others, my boobs are not same with others, in fact, my entire body structure is not same with other actresses. These qualities, coupled with my artistic prowess, stand me out among others.
When do you want to get married?
When the right man comes. I am not even thinking along that line at the moment. All I want to achieve is to be on top of my game in this industry and affect my generation and the next, as well.
Are you saying marriage can affect your career negatively?
Yes, of course, it can and we have many cases of marital disorder in the industry. Actually, I have tried it once, I was once engaged, but it was obvious my career would be at jeopardy, so I pulled out of the relationship.
You know our job is time-consuming and very tedious, so it only takes an understanding man to have a good home as an actress.
How many movies have you featured in?
A lot of movies, but all in the Yoruba genre.
Which one shot you into limelight?
Sako Jiya by Saheed Balogun. I played the major role there, as the wife of Saheed Balogun.
Have you ever dated Saheed Balogun?
Mr. Saheed is my boss, mentor and of course, my godfather in the industry. We are very close, he’s more or less a family friend, but if people see our closeness as something they are not comfortable with, they can form their opinion.
Who is your first love?
It’s personal.
Are you seeing anyone at the moment?
No. I am single and still searching. Guys can forward their application letters to me.
How would you describe your background?
I was born and grew up in Mushin but I left that area when I was 13 years old to Abule Egba area of Lagos.
We were born with silverspoon because that time, we never lacked any good things of life.
In fact, my mum built the Abule Egba house when I was 12 years, so we were quite comfortable as kids.
My mum and my entire household (five siblings) have been living in the United Kingdom for more than 20 years now.
Why did you choose acting?
I love acting even when I was still very young; my passion for it was awesome.
So, when I grew up and I wanted to do something different, I got introduced to Saheed Balogun through my sister, when he came to see her about someone they were supposed to feature in their movie.
Fortunately, Saheed sighted me and asked my sister to allow me play that role. After much persuasions, my sister allowed me and I got involved with his production outfit. That was how I got into the industry.
Since you had the flair from childhood, did you study the arts in school?
On the contrary no. I was in UNILAG to study Banking and Finance, though I dropped out because I wanted to travel and was also doing business. But the travelling didn’t click at the end. So, I didn’t complete my degree programme.
Can you act nude in a movie?
I laugh when I read in the papers about some actresses’ opinion on this question. No one has ever admitted to act nude for a fee. Let me tell you here, a whole lot of them act nude but they don’t know.
You cannot act nude and you are sleeping with a producer, marketer, director etc, how else do you want to act nude? For me, the question is yes, I can act nude if the pay is right, if the producer is ready to pay me handsomely, why not? Afterall, Hollywood stars act nude and yet, we want to get to where Hollywood is and we keep shying from versatility in acting.
As a versatile actress, I can act nude but the pay must be good! In fact, the fee must be able to sustain me throughout my lifetime. To act nude is against our tradition, friends, associates and even some colleagues would turn you a recluse, you would be stigmatized. So, if I have to act nude, I would consider all these things and ask for a fee that will last me a lifetime. With that, I can buy a world for myself even a man if need be

INTRODUCTION
HOW GENERATORS WORK 
First, Let us take a look at the working mechanism of the normal generators you know (that is generators that use fuel) to see how they are able to
supply electricity with the help of fuel (petrol or diesel). In general,
GENERATOR consists of two basic parts. The part that required fuel,
this part is called the piston, and the part that doesn’t need fuel,
this part is called the alternator. Both the piston and the alternator
work together with the help of fuel as a driven mechanism for
electricity to be produced. The process is this: The basic function of
the piston is to roll (or rotate) the alternator, hence the production
of electricity. However, before the piston can rotate the alternator, it
needs fuel. It is the Fuel in the piston that pressurized it (the
piston) to forcefully go up and down which empowered it (the piston) to
roll the coils of the alternator, hence the production of electricity.
This is an easy way to explain the working mechanism (in a lame man’s
way) the way our fueled-generators operate. Get this straight: the main
purpose of the fuel is basically to enable the piston to roll the coil
of the alternator. I hope that is quite simple? Did I hear you say “OF
COURSE, YES”. Good, then let’s continue…

INTRODUCTION TO THE FUELLESS GENERATOR 
Now, talking about FUELLESS GENERATOR: the principle behind FUELLESS-GENERATOR is based on this question deduced from the above
explanation on which the normal generators function: since the main
purpose of the fuel in the workability of generators is basically to
empower the piston to roll/rotate the coil of the alternator, which in
return supply electricity as explained earlier. Then, the reasoning that
leads to the discovery of THE FUELLESS-GENERATOR is this powerful
question “what another and better alternative way can we come up with to
roll the alternator’s coil that can replace the piston so that there
won’t be a need for fuel in the process?” So the idea behind the
fuelless-generator is the discovery and introduction of an alternative
device that is capable of rolling the alternator coils of generators
without fuel to produce electricity. It’s just as simple as that, and
once you understand that, the rest is just as easy as ABC. Therefore, a
DC Motor (a device that doesn’t need fuel to drive the alternator) is
brought in to replace the piston (which usually requires fuel in other
to drive the alternator in the normal generators). DC Motor, unlike the
piston, can rotate/drive the alternator without fuel. In this case,
instead of the fuel (petrol or diesel), a battery (energy source) and
other components are introduced into the system to enable the DC Motor
to roll the alternator in other to generate electricity. Did I hear you
just say “But Afam, how could that be possible?” To that I say “relax
and just read on”.
DEFINITION OF THE FUELLESS GENERATOR 
FUELLESS GENERATOR is an electrical combination of DC motor (DC=Direct Current) and alternator that attempts not to use fuel for generating power
(electricity). All it needs is to keep circulating the chemical energy
source (the battery) down to the DC Motor, from DC Motor to the
alternator and back to the battery (circulating energy within itself).

Do you agree with me that anything that earns money is a service rendered in one way or the other?

No formula in the world today promises money rain without any service.

And the best service to render is the one that provide a solution to a
major problem that affect virtually everybody, which anyone will not
think twice to pay you for if you have the solution.

You don’t need a prophet to tell you that the existence and survival of
virtually all businesses (about 95%) in Nigeria depends absolutely on
electricity .

And the epileptic power supply in Nigeria can best be described as
consistently inconsistent, which has forced many businesses (especially
new and upcoming businesses) to fold up because they can’t afford the
money required to continually buy fuel on a daily basis to use the
generator, not to mention the money involved in the maintenance &
servicing of such generator.

What I’m offering you is a genuine service that will never seize to put endless cash in your pocket like an invisible paymaster

And the interesting thing is that you dont need any experience or
engineering skill whatsoever to start producing the fuelless generator
yourself.

All the components needed are readily available!

If you can buckle your shoes yourself, then you can construct/couple the fuelless generator.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

In the year 2011, resolve to do something resourceful. Don’t go all over
the places chasing easy FANTASY money in online surveys, Data-entry,
Forex trading, HYIPS, pay-per-click and all those nonsense on the
internet that never work.

Build a real business your family will be proud of by rendering a good
service that is legally and morally right , that truly solve a major
problem that your customers won’t feel you have manipulated them to get
their hard-earned money, and which can continually put money in your
pocket, over and over for life while you still retain your customers
& integrity!

OFFER FOR 100 NIGERIANS ONLY!

This will be the most valuable information you will ever get & the
most resourceful manual and vcd you will ever buy. It’s comprehensive
enough, detailed enough, easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement. It's a
step-by-step guide to constructing a fuelless generator yourself

THE ADVANTAGES THE FUELLESS-GENERATOR HAS OVER FULLED-GENERATORS AND INVERTERS

1. It does not need or depend on fuel (petrol or diesel), solar energy or wind energy to function.

2. It preserves the safety of our immediate environment from noise and air pollution (it is noiseless & smokeless)

3. The six basic components needed to construct it are readily &
easily available in the market-you wont need to go far to get them

4. You can build it to the capacity of the load you want it to carry:
850watts(I-BEETER PASS MY NEIGHBOR SIZE) or 3KVA to 5KVA (THAT CARRIES
YOUR FRIDGE AND SO ON)

5. It is smokeless, noiseless and pollution free

6. It wont require any mechanical service or maintenance 

7. It is free from current surge (electric shock)

8. It saves you over N250,000 every year – No buying of fuel, no maintenance, no service!

couple the components together . Anybody with half a brain can do it and
in less than 3 hours)

10. It has little or no relationship whatsoever with PHCN/NEPA, hence
it’s self-dependent & self-charging (unlike inverters where you will
still need NEPA LIGHT to charge the battery) and it's very safe to use.


11. It does not wear or tear, hence no maintenance cost!

12. It can work for as long as you want if properly kept

13. It does not make as much noise as the Fuelled-generators; so it
won't disturb you and the people in your neighbourhood - The one am
using is right inside my sitting room

DONT MISS THIS PART: VANGUARD NEWSPAPER INTERVIEW:

BELOW IS AN INTERVIEW CONDUCTED ON SAT MAR-5, 2010 BY MR KINGSLEY ADEGBOYE, A REPORTER FOR VANGUARD NEWSPAPER

VANGUARD: Sir, Can you tell us the differences between the new
fuelless-generator and the normal Generator that uses fuel and
inverters?

FUELLESS GEN: Inverters always depend on NEPA, because the battery needs
electricity to charge, and that's why the inverters can only work for a
limited period of time as the battery get discharged as it's beIng used
and eventually it will stop working if there is no light to continually
charge it .... while the fuelless generator don't depend on NEPA
although, it has an alternative or supportive external charger we can
use to charge the battery using NEPA power source, maybe for just one
hour to further boost the efficiency.However, in the absense of NEPA
light, the fuelless generator has a capacitior that stores the energy
which is being produced under a working condition and this energy in
return is being used to continually charge the battery which makes the
fuelless generator self-sustainance, self-dependent, self-charging and
it can work for as long as you want it, if the recomended battery type
in the manual is used

VANGUARD: But Can such people with no mechanical or electrical
engineering knowledge or experience and those who are not priviledged to
go to the university actually learn the coupling process without
supervision or is it only meant for a particular class of people?

FUELLESS GEN: Just anybody can easily couple the fuelless generator!
They don't need to be Engineers, they don't even need any engineering
experience whatsoever or any special skill to build the fuelless
generator. As a matter of fact, you are not building it yourself per say
because all the components needed have been made ready for you and they
are easily available in the market; the only thing you need is common
sense and just your two hands to couple the components together after
watching the step-by-step coupling process as explicitly explained in
the practical manual and video Guide which has been made so simple that
even a fool can read, watch and implement it in less than 3 hrs

VANGUARD: How and where can people get the needed components to buy?

FUELLESS GEN: The place to get all the components, the price cost of
each componets and even the exact types of components to buy are already
included in the information kit

VANGUARD: How will people have access to this information Manual Kit?

FUELLESS GEN: We have made it a lot easier for anybody anywhere in
Nigeria, or even outside Nigeria to have instant access to the fuelless
generator information kit which contains the practical manual and vcd
without stress. When they place order, after payment confirmation, the
softcopy of the manual saved in two easy downloadable pdf and word
formats and all the bonuses will be sent to their email box and they
will receive it in less than 30 minutes anywhere in the world (for
safety and fast delivery) while they wait for the vcd in the mail to be
delivered by courier in 48hrs. A lot of people have been calling to ask
if we organise seminar so that they can atttend one. Yes we did and our
seminars  recorded over 2000 attendees but, right now we don't organise
seminars any more because everything they need to know about the
fuelless generator and start the business on their own have been
detailed in the step by step manual.and filmed in the vcd. With that,
they wont need any seminar or one-on-one training even if they have
never touched a single bolt all their life

VANGUARD: For people who still can't trust their abilities to construct
the fuelless-generator themselves and prefer to buy a ready-made one. Do
you have provision for such people - can someone build one for them
while they pay for the service?

FUELLESS GEN : The answer is "YES"for the busy type who wont have the
time to build it themselves, I have good news for them: This information
kit contains the contacts of specialists who are now into the business
of building it for others. All they need do is get a copy of the kit
first to have instant access to such people. With the help of the
manual, they can go get the components themselves and only pay the
service charge. However I am 100% convinced that everybody will be able
to and even prefer to do it themselves after studying the
easy-to-understand 32-pages manual and watching the demonstration video

VANGUARD: Sir, what are the disadvantages of the fuelless generator, any disadvantage?

FUELLESS GEN: That's a Good and brilliant question. Of course, I wont be
honest if I tell you that the fuelless generator does not have any
disadvantage at all, because nothing is made by man that is 100%
perfect. Even the best discovery in the world today is not perfect,
there is always a room for innovation and improvement. However, the
disadvantages can be managed or even avoided if one is disciplined
enough. For example, If water soaks it, it can reduce its efficiency.
So, you must always keep it away in a cool dry place. And in as much as
we declare that the fuelless generator can work for as long as you wish,
we still advice that you should put if off to rest after working for
some very long time. Even humans need time off work to rest

VANGUARD: Considering the money-making potential of this invention, like
we all know that irregular power supply is a major problem that is
affecting virtually every home and business in Nigeria, no doubt your
fuelless generator will be a welcome idea and it will make you Millions,
if not Billions of Naira, but why have you decided to share the
knowledge with others? it's unlike a typical Nigerian. Don't you think
that if too many people know this secret, they will compete with you and
your chance of making big money may be jeopardised?

FUELLESS GEN : (smile), for a long time, I've been praying to God for a
powerful idea that will make me a blessing to other people so I derive
more joy and a sense of fulfilment sharing the concept with others who
truly desire a successful life full of enviable accomplishments.
Moreover, Nigeria is a big nation with over 150 millions people, so any
smart person who want "money-rainfall" this year like a damaged ATM
machine and who can act fast before the market is dominated can actually
make over 3 millions from this business even before the year runs out.
Also we look beyond the Nigeria Market but the entire West Africa
Countries. A lot of people are already calling us from neighbouring
african countries. Suprisingly, even Nigerians in far away countries
like Europe are eager to tap into the business opportunity so, I dont
see any competition here. The money-making potential is enormous that
even 100,000 people cannot exhaust it in the next ten years. My Goal is
to give many Nigerians a genuine business concepts that will make them
lots of money this year and forever

VANGUARD: That's a big opportunity indeed for smart-action takers. I
heard you mentioned N20,000 for the information kit! But why are you
giving out this highly valuable and million-dollar information at such a
ridiculously low price of N20,000? Since you've generously decided to
share this 5 years researched business opportunity with others, we think
the price of the "information kits" will go for, probably N200,000 or
even more?

FUELLESS GEN: Yes you are right , the value of the money-making business
opportunity we are giving out is worth over N200,000 but our intention
is to give everybody an equal opportunity, including students and
applicants by making the price affordable by all so that it wont be for a
particular class of people who have the money. We believe with just
N20,000, though that is a promo give away price for now, many people who
are smart enough and know how to act fast can afford it. But as you
know, many are called but only a few are chosen because success is by
choice and not by chance

VANGUARD: You said the N20,000 is a promo price, can you tell us how long this promo will last?

FUELLESS GEN: We have a limited target of 200 people. We are giving out
the "fuelless generator information kit" at a give away price of just
N20,000 for now to only 200 lucky and smart Nigerians and so far 100
slots are gone, we have just 100 slots left which will be gone in no
time too. considering the rate at which people are calling to make
order. The promo will be over as soon as the remaining 100 slots are
gone

VANGUARD: After the promo is over, what will then be the fate of those who still want the "information kit"?

FUELLESS GEN: Honestly, we are yet to decide on that but we are
considering two options: either we stop selling the package and if at
all we decide to sell again, it wont go for less than N40,000, am very
sure of that. When that happens, they wont have to bother to call us to
negotiate or make any deal, the answer is "No till further notice" By
then I know those who got it for a token of N20,000 now will be making
huge money especially now that the world cup is around the corner and
their testimonies will attract millions of doubting thomases out there
who have the spirit of unbelief or procrastination, who want to wait
until the lights are green before they start. We have intentionally
limited it to just 200 people so that when the offer is closed, the few
lucky 200 who see opportunity as something that comes once in a lifetime
will dominate the African market with little competition and smile to
the bank everyday. I have no sentiment for procastinators and doubting
people. Wealth comes only to those who take calculated risks and
immediate action

VANGUARD: Do you have some people who have bought your information
package on the fuelless generator and already built one successfully or
even making money with it?

FUELLESS GEN: Yes, those people who ordered for our information package
have successfully built it and are now making cool money selling the
components and the ready-made fuelless generators to thousands of
Nigerians within their neighbourhood. However, there are many states yet
to be covered. Even now, we only have few people in Lagos and there is
no way they can supply over 18 millions people that live in lagos alone .
So you can see, there is a huge money-making potential for anyone
anywhere in Nigeria who need a genuine source of income to tap into this
golden opportunity

---------------------------------Interview closed--------------------------------------------
SO HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THIS INFORMATION IS WORTH TO YOU?
If I give you a life time money-making information which you only
pay once to get and which is good enough to put continually at least
N250,000 into your Bank account every month for life, how much will you
be willing to pay to get such valuable informationt?

"Innocent Eyes"!!

 

"Innocent Eyes!



200555_1335304718673_1712731899_555225_7405948_a.jpg

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a little child and saw the innocence, the purity, the need for guidance and the need for love...I have. But it is a very distressing and hurting thing to see so many small children being treated as though they were disposable trash, or personal property to do with as the owner pleases, rather than being seen as gifts from God to be held and loved and treated with the utmost care.

It is not an easy task to raise kids nowadays, especially if you are a single parent. It gets frustrating at times, and sometimes you want to just pack up and leave...but don't do that because that little one is depending on you. No they don't understand your frustration when you have just finished cleaning and they pour milk out of their cup onto the floor. They don't understand when you are trying to cook as fast as you can, and they are screaming and crying at the top of their lungs because they are hungry. No, they don't understand when you come home from a hard days work, and all you want to do is spend a few minutes alone in a quiet place, but they want to play or need you to help them with schoolwork. They don't understand...no, they just don't understand!

But remember this, in your times of frustration, before you over-react, look at that little one, or little ones and put your arms around them and tell them that you love them. Don't scream, yell or curse at them; that does no good except to keep tension in the home and it wounds their little spirits. They are innocent, it was not their choice or decision to come here...you made that one, along with the person that you were with. The word of God says that :"Lo, Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward" (Psalms 127:3). So when you curse at a child or abuse them in any way, you are offending God! And you will stand before him to give account for it!

No child is an accident, life comes from God and is precious to him, and it is our responsibility as parents to teach them right from wrong. We have to conduct ourselves in ways that will not reflect negative towards them. What they see and hear us do...they will do. You have a great responsibility Dads and Moms; you owe it to them to give them the best life possible...I am not talking about material things; but emotionally and physically, they deserve the best that you can offer them.

B-blessed

Michael

If you have anger issues, or if you need help with your kids, ask for help! First turn to your Family, then to your local Church, if you are a member or not. Seek out trustworthy Men to be a Mentor to your young boys, and Women likewise to help with your young girls. If that fails, I am sure that your State or City offers many programs to assist you in becoming a better Parent. Don't be ashamed, ask for help!!

 Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has been confirmed to be "abolutely fine" after being involved in a minor car accident on Monday morning.

The Spanish midfielder, who just returned from an injury lay-off after missing two matches due to a reoccurrence of his hamstring problem, had the collision on the way to training Monday morning.

"Hi, you have probably heard that I had a car accident this morning. I'm absolutely fine, nothing to worry about. These things happen," read a message on the 23-year-old's twitter.

Also the English Premier League club confirmed it, as an Arsenal club spokesman said: "Cesc was involved in a minor car accident on his way to training this morning.

"After the incident, Cesc made his way to our training ground in London Colney and took part in a training session as normal.

"The Police are fully aware of the incident."

Nigerians who had registered to vote went to the polls, Saturday with the hope of electing those who will run their affairs at the National Assembly for the next four years but were shocked to find out that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was not ready to conduct elections as widely publicized. Huhuonline.com understands that INEC’s inability to conduct saturday`s elections was not as a result of lack of effort but lack of planning and understanding the enormity of the assignment.

 

Our check reveals that whereas Prof. Jega led INEC did not award contract for the printing of the sensitive electoral materials until March 2011; doyens in electoral matters who pleaded anonymity aver that they told Prof. Attahiru Jega severally that if he did not get these materials by January 2011, he would likely face dismal polls.

 

But the INEC chairman did not heed their advice, rather than focusing on getting the materials needed, he embarked on a Jamboree to the United States and only did inspection of printers’ factories in December 2010, five months after he was appointed. Sources privy to the reports of the factory inspections told huhuonline.com that many of the printers visited, stated that INEC had inadequate time for the amount of work it needed.

 

Huhuonline.com findings reveal that INEC did not award contract for the printing of over five hundred million copies of the sensitive electoral material, until three weeks ago, specifically, 10th March, 2011. However, INEC insiders reveal to huhuonline.com that for an election scheduled for April, the printing of the elections materials ought to have been in the final stages as at January.

 

Our checks reveal that all the printing were done overseas, hence the mandatory vetting procedures required in printing such sensitive materials were not followed, due to lack of time. Hence the absence logo of some of the political parties.

 

In the words of a printing contractor, who is privy to dealings in INEC, when contract is awarded for a printing job, the printer would prepare the artwork, and return it to the owner, in this case INEC, who will then study the artwork to see if it met the desired specification, such as presence of security features, presence of appropriate logo, and colours etc., after which the artwork is approved and only then can the printer return to their factory for mass production. But none of this was done by INEC, the source affirmed.

 

Sources reveal that another flaw in Prof. Jega`s preparation was that some of the contractors who were competent and had excellent track record of delivering were dropped by because of the federal character. Finding shows that ¾ of the contractors hired by INEC were from the North.

Specifically, One Alhaji Musa a very close ally of Attahiru Jega`s benefactor, received a chunk of the printing job. Huhuonline.com findings shows that the total sum of printing contract awarded to Musa was one hundred and fifty million naira (N150, 000,000.00), which he subsequently subcontracted  to UK based Graphic Inline.

Our checks reveal that Musa was first given a work order for Seventy five million naira, and later another Seventy five million naira work order was signed off for him, after a leading printing company (name withheld), rejected the job, because they were over booked. The other two local contractors are Alhaji Sanni and Alhaji Yerima, who represents Aeroprint and Aero Vote Limited respectively. Aero Vote Limited is a security printing company, based in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, and attempt to contact was unsuccefull as call went directly to their voicemail.

A day before the elections, Prof Attahiru Jega, whom huhuonline.com learnt was being economical with words, issued a statement, stating “the elections we are about to commence tomorrow, Saturday 2 April, provide the chance for us as a nation to get it right”. However, huhuonline.com finding reveals that the activist lecturer, turned INEC czar, did not have his commission in order, as INEC had not received all the requisite materials for the nationwide polls. Yet Attahiru Jega insisted that INEC was very determined to make sure that it mitigate factors that would prevent Nigerian citizens from exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. 

 

Besides the material for the National Assembly elections, Huhuonline.com understands that material for the presidential election, originally scheduled for April 9th, but rescheduled to April 16th are not ready.

 

However INEC has already printed all the materials for the Presidential runoff elections, which simply amount to a case of putting the cart before the horse.

stricltly on invitation and appointment berthes in Abuja

 

Class dichotomy is fast becoming very evident by the day in Abuja, the nation’s capital. This is obvious in the startling and rapid emergence of exclusive shops where only the rich, privileged and the powerful are allowed to patronize strictly on invitation and appointment.

Oloyo



 advertisement


 





These shops, which are separately and discretely sited in exclusive areas too, like Maitama, Asokoro and Wuse II were discovered to be of international standards, very expensive too close to their counterparts overseas.

Daily Sun was in one of such shops at Maitama.


It is a fashion house, dealing specifically on Italian wares and the operators said that the fashion house was a replica of those in Italy. It was actually on a night of “Fashion View”, by Di Constantino Clothing Hall, owners and operators of the exclusive fashion house, and Daily Sun was conducted around the various stores within the clothing hall, which separately house assorted clothes, shoes, jewelries, amongst others.


Mr Eric Oloyo, Manager, Di Constantino Clothing Hall, said all products were imported and that every store had different products, with male stores different from that of the female: “We specialize in Italian products. Whatever is fashion in Italy, we have them in our stores.”


He said that this has provided a market closer to the rich class in the country to save them the costs and trouble of having to travel abroad always to buy, as well as plunging back the money into the nation’s economy. Insisting that decency and quality service delivery were the hallmark of the clothing hall, Oloyo stressed that “it is a must that you make a call, then we’ll now be expecting you to come here to buy something. Anybody cannot just walk in here like that.


“Actually, if we make it a place where anybody can come, you know, some people will just come here check on the types of products that we have here but they cannot meet up to buy the kind of products we’re having. They will be thinking that it is the type of products that other people are having outside that we have here, but when they come here they find it difficult that it is the type of thing they cannot purchase then this place will later become like a general market place, that is why we make it a system that some standard people will call us before they come. We wait for them to come and buy what they want to buy.


“Our MD is based outside the country. It’s a type of business that he has been into for quite sometime. That’s why he came to this place and established according to his experience in Italy. The same system is what he is operating here. That’s why the system is different from what other people are operating outside here.”


Asked if there are no rooms for the poor to partake: “Yes, we can actually put it in that way for the fact that the products we are having here are authentic. They are not the types you buy outside that you will be expecting that you will get in this place. You can come to this place then you will be expecting that what you’ve been buying outside is the same thing you’ll buy here. When you get to this place you find out that the products we’re having are quite different from what you are having outside.


“There are people who travel out because of wares. That’s why we provide the market here for them to make it easy for them. When you are coming you just call that you are coming to buy something and you will be invited if you have been coming, you may not need to call.”

Proprietor of the clothing hall, who is simply known as Di Constantino, said he was happy with his clothing business which has become a career, having started from okrika as a little child. He said when others left for school he was going to Okrika to buy clothes for sale:


“That was how I started. I would be going to places to sell clothes. That was where I had the concept of making Di Constantino Clothing Hall today. This is my career. I travelled to Italy in June 3, 1989. I am based in Italy and Nigeria. I am doing both Nigerian and Italian fashion and it is an exclusive market, for the rich and middle class.”

12166306266?profile=originalRemember YNOT ? the notorious prostitute stock exchange in victoria island lagos in the early 2000s ? If Ynot was the sodom of Nigeria. Then Timeout is the latest Gomorrah in Edo state. Sad to say that there is a fast food joint just by the entrance and kids and mothers will be surprised to find out that their husbands,dads and brothers return there at night for a different type of fast food .

As the live band, known as the Zion Band, dished out different tunes at Time Out Fun Paradise in Benin City, capital of Edo State,located on Airport Road and very close tothe Airport itself in the GRA.

We watch as two female dancers were serenading the guests with their suggestive dance steps. Indeed, their general stage mannerisms were erotic.

 

The dancers paraded contrasting features: One was very tall and slim. The other was not so tall but blessed with more flesh, especially in the right places. The atmosphere was lively. There was hardly an empty seat or standing space, as men and women squeezed their way in. The number kept increasing and fun seekers spilled outside. Those who couldn’t bear the choking ambience simply frolicked outside. In fact, there were more people outside than inside. Most of them were women and on business. They were commercial sex workers strutting their stuff and soliciting for patronage from men.


Time Out Fun Paradise could be described as world’s biggest sex market. It is a prostitutes’ paradise, a haven of sinful lust. There, women of various ages, shapes and sizes compete for attention. Indeed, the number of scarlet women on parade is simply amazing. It is usually a crowd, like political rally. And because of the stiff competition in the ‘market,’ the women adopt aggressive marketing strategies. They are desperate, throwing decorum to the wind.


The provocative dressing and weird make-up the women wear show the stuff they are made of. Most of them wear bum shorts and revealing tops. Some wear micro-mini skirts that barely cover their pants. Their breasts spill from the half-cup bra, which they throw into the faces of men. And, in their desperation, they woo men openly.


The more daring among them pull out their breasts for their prospective client to see and feel while bargaining, saying in Pidgin English: “Touch correct breasts, breasts wey stand well, breasts wey never fall.” The aim is to convince the customer to play ball.

Saturday Sun had a time out at the fun paradise penultimate weekend and witnessed scenes of debauchery. From about 8pm, the commercial sex workers begin to amass. Thursday nights are special nights: ladies nights. Heavy smoking and drinking goes on there, even as hawkers of recharge cards, water, cigarettes, condoms and sundry items also ply their trade. Business comes into full swing from 10pm. 12166306275?profile=original


Sex is not exactly cheap at the centre. Most of the practitioners peg their asking price at between N6, 000 and N10, 000 for an all night dalliances, while a quickie (short time or kpa kpa kpa) goes for about N2, 000.


However, it depends on the customer’s purse and bargaining power as well as the girls’ marketing ability. Time is also a factor in the sex trade. As the night winds down, price crash.

One of the scarlet ladies, who gave her name as Destiny, told the reporter that it was not her destiny to engage in the business. After some haggling and a bottle of Smirnoff Ice, she said: “If you give me N4, 000, I will go with you. I just need some money to take care of some things.”


Asked why she was bartering her womanhood for cash, she quipped: “Na condition bend crayfish.”

Although many of the commercial sex workers claimed to be students, investigations revealed that some actually engage in legitimate business in the afternoon but practice prostitution at night to augument their earning. Some of them work as waitresses in eateries and hotels in the afternoon but at night they transform to sex providers.


Saturday Sun checks revealed that most of the hookers are from the South-South states. They find Benin attractive because of vibrant nightlife occasioned by the dwindling rate of crime in the city in recent time. Again, some of them are girls deported from Italy and elsewhere, where they had gone to seek greener pastures.


Although Time Out is regarded as the hottest pub in Benin, it is certainly not the only place sex is sold and bought in the city. LJJ on Sapele Road is another sex rendezvous. A garden like affair with thatched roof, it is a perfect place for fun seekers. The icing on the cake is that waiters there also serve as pimps. Photographs of call girls are available for patrons to make their pick. So, if you make your choice, the girl’s mobile phone numbers will be given to you to reach her and discuss business.

On entering there, waitresses always announce, gleefully, that they have everything, including girls. When the reporter feigned interest, one of the waitresses pulled out her phone and wrote a telephone number. According to her, the number belongs to “one hot girl, who knows how to give value for money. Her name is Faith.” However, when Faith’s number was called, she said that she was “running things somewhere.”


Free girls are also on the prowl in the premises of Jonvee Kitchen. Some of them sit at tables and make passes at men. The more daring ones accost men leaving the place and offer their company. One of the side attractions at Jonvee is the performance of semi-clad female dancers, who entertain guests.

When Saturday Sun was there, a rotund dancer dished out suggestive stuff, as Makossa music blasted from the speakers.


A few meters away from Jonvee is De Konsolate nite club. There, sex workers keep vigil, in anticipation of patronage. They are alert, watching out for the slightest signal from potential clients.

A middle-aged woman simply known as Omowunmi runs a prostitution ring in Benin. To pick an “Omowunmi girl,” the client will pay for the girl’s taxi fare, food, drinks and N10, 000 per night.

Omowunmi, who cruises about town in a cute Kia sedan car, also supplies girls at rich men’s parties. Toast of social events, when a client ‘places an order’, she will send text message to her girls, briefing them accordingly Her girls are said to be some of the hottest in Benin City.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has said that five companies, mainly in the banking sector, have the highest figures of unclaimed dividend. In its quarter-four 2010 report available to investors, SEC notes that First Bank has N19.87 billion unclaimed dividends; Access Bank has N6.15 billion, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) has N3.61 billion; Intercontinental Bank has N3.032 billion, while Fidelity Bank has N1.264 billion unclaimed dividends. 

Also, SEC disclosed that as at December 2010, the unclaimed dividends figure from quoted companies was N33.92 billion. “The inspection report from the Lagos zonal office on the position of the unclaimed dividend fund was reviewed and the findings would be verified further to determine the true position,” SEC states.


In another development, the Managing Director, First Registrars Limited, a subsidiary of First Bank of Nigeria Plc., Mr Bayo Olugbemi, disclosed that less than 30 per cent of investors in the Nigerian capital market have embraced the electronic dividend payment option.

According to him, this is in spite of the numerous efforts made by the market regulators and the Federal Government towards ensuring that the amount of unclaimed dividends in the country was reduced to the barest minimum.


Olugbemi said, “It would be surprising to note that since e-dividend was introduced into the Nigerian market a few years ago, less than 30 per cent of investors in the market have keyed-into the platform. “And this is why the problem of huge unclaimed dividends still persists in our market. Two years ago, the amount was put at about N19bn and it is still on the rise due to the reluctance of investors to embrace the platform.”


He said it was important for more investors to embrace the platform, adding that it had a lot of benefits for investors and also reduced the stress attached to the previous system of dividend payments, including missing warrants and late cheques.


According to him, the proposed setting up of an Unclaimed Dividend Trust Fund is not the answer to the problems, because the proposal is not done in the interest of the shareholders.

“That is why registrars and some other stakeholders opposed the bill because we are aware that such a trust fund was not done in the shareholders’ interest, it may have been proposed to make some people rich; the fact is that this money belongs to the shareholders, and they should be the ones to enjoy it,” he stated

Is Facebook The new frontier of fraud ?

Facebook: The new frontier of fraudby TOYOSI OGUNSEYEIn just one year, one of the most patronised social networks, Facebook, has jumped from number 17 to the number four position as the most treacherous web chain. TOYOSI OGUNSEYE writes that changing your password can make all the differenceLast year it was number 17. This year it is number four. In one year, Facebook has soared from the 17th to the fourth most treacherous web terrain, behind porn and software-sharing sites.Fraudsters seem to be tired of sending electronic mails that attempt to get one's Automated Teller Machine card details or bank sign-in information.Now, they have devised a new method of getting information about people's bank accounts, by posting scam messages on Facebook.Tom Clare, Head of product marketing at Blue Coat, an Internet security company that does annual reports on web threats, says that these fraudulent messages appear appropriate in the Facebook setting that one is likely to not only get conned, but spread the scam.What makes Facebook so treacherous and vulnerable? Clare answers, "Us."An Information Technology expert, Korede Bolaji, explains that this scam begins when people are bombarded with requests to set up passwords to get into their work computers, online bank accounts, Facebook and every other web-based subscription.According to Bolaji, the requests are not really the problem but the manner people respond to it, "Most of us use the same password. Crooks have the knowledge that most users use the same password for everything. If they can get your user details for your Facebook account, there's a good chance that they have the password for your bank account."Being smart enough to have separate passwords for Facebook and financial accounts however does not totally solve the problem. Clare explains that fraudsters get at one through a variety of phishing attempts that one might think are Facebook games and widgets, "But look closely and you'll realise that they deliver answers to all of your bank's security questions and possibly clues to your passwords right into the hands of the crooks."What are the ways these Internet scammers use the Facebook to jeopardise one's security? Clare says that the number one is: LOL. Look at the video I found of you!According to him, this is the most dangerous of all the spam messages and it comes in a variety of forms. He says, "It's actually a bid to surreptitiously install malware on your computer. This malware can track your computer keystrokes and record your sign-in and password information with all of your online accounts. You may be completely unaware of it until you start seeing strange charges hit your ATM cards or bank account. Up-to-date security software should stop the download. If you don't have that, watch out."This application works when one clicks on the link that says that you need to upgrade your video player to see the clip. If the person hits the "upgrade" button, it opens one's computer to the crooks, who ship in their software.Clare adds that if one really thinks a friend is sending a video clip, it's good to double-check with the friend to be sure before one clicks on the link. Research has shown that most of the time, the friend will deny sending you such a video.Bolaji adds that another fraudulent link is: Your friend just answered a question about you!He says, "It is possible that an old friend answered a question about you that you needed to "unlock?"

However, if anyone has ever clicked on any of the aforementioned applications just change your password, it erases whatever information they have about you; and don't click on these applications again!

12166306886?profile=originalAmodu Shuaibu, in the estimation of Osaze Odewengie, was a good coach until he benched him a few times during the Angola Nations Cup in 2010.


Osaze with team mates celebrating a goal in one of their matches under Coach Samson Siasia.



Thereafter, Amodu's style was dubbed obsolete by the same Osaze. The West Brom striker publicly campaigned for the engagement of a foreign coach especially when he was absolutely sure the authorities had opted to sign one in spite of the short time to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Lars Lagerback was signed. After few training sessions under the Swede Osaze almost idolized the man, saying that "now we have a good coach."

His remarks on the style of the man painted the Swede as first class coach.

The World Cup started and Argentina pipped Nigeria by a lone goal. By the time Nigeria had fumbled against Greece and Korea and Osaze also found himself on the bench, the Swede, in the estimation of Osaze, had turned a bush man from a civilized country. Osaze publicly, too, ate his words on Amodu and regretted that Nigeria ever signed Largaback. He said that Amodu should have been left to continue.


All the players who were invited for the Ethiopia qualifier were also invited for the friendly against Kenya.

But after the March 27 match Osaze returned to England the following day. Nigeria Football Federation officials Tuesday night complained that Osaze did not inform anybody before leaving. They were considering sanctions against him.

"We have told Samson Siasia to take any disciplinary decision that he may deem fit," a top Federation member said Thursday, adding "if Osaze is not disciplined, it may send wrong signals and other players may toe his line. He just ignored the federation and the coaches. This is wrong and an act of indiscipline."

By Friday, what Osaze said on his twitter page was already in the media. He had attacked Siasia, found faults in his coaching style and claimed that senior members of the team were not comfortable with Siasia's coaching style.

"His training methods, his unguarded outbursts, attitude and treatment of older players is causing disaffection," Osaze was reported to have said. He came in as a substitute against Ethiopia.

Contacted on this Siasia preferred to focus on his job and not to respond to his players tantrums.

"I have got serious things to do. My focus now is how to play Argentina June 1 and win the next Nations Cup qualifier in Ethiopia. We should win that match," he said.

We gathered from the Federation last night that Osaze may be suspended from the team or quietly be left out of matches lest he causes disaffection in the team.

The elections, which were due to be held on Monday 4th April, have now been shifted to Saturday April 9th after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) caved into pressure from the political parties.

All the other elections have also been moved back a week. The presidential elections will now hold on Saturday April 16th. The gubernatorial elections will hold on Tuesday 26th April because the 22nd falls during the weekend of Easter.

The announcement was made this evening after INEC met with political party leaders. In a statement, Mr. Jega said the commission had been "advised" to move the dates again in order to meet with all the outstanding issues. He revealed that about 15 million people had already voted before news of yesterday's postponement came through and again appealed to voters to bear with them as the situation is sorted out.

Since the more ardent of Muhammadu Buhari's supporters (some of whom are close friends) have tried to convince me that his unique selling point is his incorruptibility, then it behooves me to carefully consider if that is indeed the case in an objective way.

In order to understand the gravity of Mohammed Abacha's running for governor of Kano State on the CPC platform and the damage it does to General Buhari's credibilty as a paragon of anti-corruption, we need to consider the evidence of history and see how General Buhari's (and CPC's) handling of Mohammed Abacha candidacy is at odds with Buhari's claim to incorruptibilty. Actions speak louder than words. The evidence against Mohammed Abacha has been in the public domain, so Buhari and CPC have no excuse to claim that they did not know what sort of man Mohammed Abacha is before accepting him in the party.

"In addition to freezing about USD 640 million, the Swiss judicial authorities handling the case have also indicted Mohammed Abacha and Atiku Bagudu under Swiss legislation concerning money-laundering, fraud and taking part in a criminal organisation"

[see page 2 of the following link: http://www.assetrecovery.org/kc/resources/org.apache.wicket.Application/repo?nid=78488349-a33e-11dc-bf1b-335d0754ba85].

"In the context of those proceedings, the Federal Republic of Nigeria was able to demonstrate that Mohammed ABACHA had failed to disclose his assets in Switzerland and in Luxembourg, which exceeded 1.1 billion US$. This lack of disclosure had, however, no direct effect on the proceedings (although of course it dented Mohammed ABACHA’s credibility as a witness). In July 2001, separate proceedings were commenced before the High Court of Justice of London, relating to the embezzlement of 2 billion US$ from the Central Bank of Nigeria under false security pretences [see page 4 of the document at the following link: www.icc-ccs.org/home/fraudnet/publications/finish/5/46].

It is my opinion that this laxity with respect to Mohammed Abacha demonstrates a consistent pattern of behaviour on the part of General Buhari. It is my thesis that he may be perceived as not being personally corrupt but he often turns a blind eye to corruption of close associates. Witness the 53 suitcases allegation that still dogs him 27 years later. Witness his infamous declaration that "Sani Abacha was not corrupt". A statement that is given the lie by the evidence in various courts around the world. Does Muhammadu Buhari's definition of corruption exclude close associates? That the late Sani Abacha is a close associate is easily gleaned by the fact that he appointed him to head the Petroleum Trust Fund.   

The Guardian Newspaper of November 3, 2002 reports on the audit of the Petroleum Trust Fund: "It is a horrendous story of criminal negligence, cynical fraud, and unprecedented disregard for all civilised standards of prudence and transparency in the disbursement of public funds. In the end, the independent consultants concluded that of the N181 billion that accrued to PTF in the four and a half years of its existence between July 1994 and July 1999, as much as N25 billion was either stolen or improperly expended."

And: ". . .when Gen. Buhari was invited to comment on the findings of the committee's consultants regarding the conduct of the empire over which he presided, he coyly retorted that he was not aware that such massive fraud went on his watch, but that in any event, he could not have benefited personally from the hideous purloining of the treasury." Former president Shagari who he overthrew was not personally corrupt, but his ministers were and yet Buhari held him responsible for the failings of his government. But in Buhari's case he disavowed all personal responsibility. Is this not bare-faced hypocrisy given that he was the one that unilaterally appointed Afri-Projects Consortium as the intervention fund's sole consultant?

Is General Buhari now also exempt from responsibility for the corrupt acts of his appointees? But the question needs to be asked: Is corruption only defined by the perception that one has not dipped his hand into the public treasury? What about if your associates are known to have been indicted as corrupt? In the Daily Trust edition of 30, March 2011, we read: "Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) General Muhammadu Buhari was in Kano yesterday for the North-west state-by-state presidential campaign but refused to raise the hands of either the INEC-recognised Muhammad Abacha or the party’s recognised retired General Lawal Jafaru Isa as the party’s governorship candidate in the state."

What a weak and tepid response to serious corruption-related issues by a man who his more ardent mythomaniacs tell us is the solution to Nigeria's corruption. They hope their persistent hagiographization will deflect attention from the present. We live in the present and whatever decisions we make concerning General Buhari's candidacy in 2011 must take into account his actions in 2011. Mohammed Abacha has never hidden his ambition to become Kano State governor. He was once in the ANPP before migrating to CPC. Knowing this, they could easily have denied him the CPC platform.

There are serious questions that General Buhari (or supporters) should answer. Why did they accept Abacha as a member of the CPC with the weight of these indictments hanging on his neck? In responding to this question, CPC says this: "In a statement last weekend, the CPC said apart from the alleged inducement of delegates, the party was not also comfortable with Abacha’s candidature because of his numerous alleged indictments by the federal government and the United States of America, which it said he refused to disclose to the party." This as far as I am concerned is a very weak response that only the undiscerning will fall for. The Abacha case was widely publicized and the indictments were widely reported in local and foreign media [as attested by the SaharaReporters link at the end of the page]. This excuse is downright silly and is obviously a late attempt at damage control.

Having become convinced that he procured his nomination through corrupt "money politics", why did the CPC not expel him from the party? After all, one would expect that for a political party running on a supposed anticorruption platform, their party constitution would spell out punitive measures for corruption-related activities such as "money politics". In response to this, the general's supporters tell us that CPC has appealed the court judgment declaring Mohammed Abacha the CPC candidate and the general is waiting for the court's pronouncement. As far as I am concerned this is another "rule of law" ruse a la James Ibori. This situation could have been so easily prevented by denying Abacha membership of the party.

If Muhammadu Buhari's CPC (his personal vehicle for his 3rd attempt at the Presidency), where his word is revered, is acting in such a weak and permissive manner concerning Mohammed Abacha, a man indicted on charges pertaining to money-laundering, fraud and taking part in a criminal organisation; how does he expect me to take him serious with respect to his anti-corruption credentials? After all my friends have assured me that in the cut and thrust and wheeling and dealing of representative democracy, General Buhari is going to jail all corrupt governors, senators, etc.

It is my conclusion that General Buhari's present actions in the case of Mohammed Abacha are at variance with the picture presented by his supporters of a committed anti-corruption crusader.

Happy Mothers’ Day! Today, this column is dedicated to mothers who have sometimes found themselves so frustrated by the intricacies of child-rearing that they have occasionally paused at that task, turned their faces upwards and wondered aloud, ‘why was it again you created children? Today, we mothers who have done a good job deserve to put our feet up, pat ourselves on the back and begin to ask ourselves, what must we have done right? Those among us who think we have not done so well should still put up our feet, get a cup of coffee, and begin to ask ourselves, what must we do right? The reason is that I believe that there are children who can try their patron saints and guardian angels all together to a sorry point, just as there are parents who try the patience of God himself. Recently, I heard the story of how a student was hauled before the head of his tertiary institution. He had been invited to come and explain how he came to be associated with a cult. Right in the presence of his father, the young man was said to have owned up to being indeed in the group but hastened to add that he learnt it from his father. His father, he claimed, belonged to at least four such groups. The flabbergasted father threw up his hands. He had no idea his children watched him that closely. To say that children have seized power from their parents in Nigeria now is an understatement. For one thing, children now have their say and their way. In the past, the saying was that children were to be seen and not heard. In the present age though, children prefer their parents to be seen and not heard. Better if the parent is rich. ‘Who’s that?’, ask the young man’s friends, as they point at a decrepit looking thing sitting and ruminating over his mistakes, such as his children. ‘Oh, that’s my sponsor’, replies the unfilial son, before quickly guiding his friends past the offending figure of his disgraced parent. For the privilege of allowing parents to call their children their own, there are now some ground rules. The first rule of child owning goes thus: that parents are allowed to give their children food and shelter, when desired. This means of course that parents can no more expect that golden sense of gratitude from their children for bringing home the bacon. Man, it is a privilege to do that now o. Then, children can now dictate to their parents how much intrusion they are prepared to take from the said parents. No more all that nonsensical ‘every room in the house belongs to everybody’. Perhaps, reply their toddling lordships, only after they are through with their own room, such as when they go off to be married. The third rule is that parents should consider it their duty to put down a generous allowance for the purpose of affording a comfortable life for their children. And to do this, they must work hard to earn or steal. In an e-mail message being passed around currently, the story is told of another young man who went for a job interview. Asked what he would consider a good starting salary, he mentioned something in the region of 250, 000 Naira, a figure the interviewers might not themselves be earning. Intrigued, they asked him why. He stated that he could not very well settle for anything less than that amount, since he was then on a monthly allowance of 200, 000 Naira from his parents! Too many children are being brought up on stolen money obviously. And the fourth rule? There should not be, under any circumstance, any scolding from parents. Parents ought to know that their children come into the world complete with the manual of behavior written into their hearts. This manual becomes operational at the age of fifteen. Dear parents, in case you don’t know, this is why your child wakes up suddenly one morning in the middle of his/her teen years with the epiphanous revelation that he/she knows everything. And there you were, thinking it could not happen over-night. Well, it does. So, should your child misbehave, don’t fret or spank. The manual will open to the right page in, let’s say, twenty years and award the right punishment. This law is called regret and it never fails to arrive. Whatever you do, dear parent, don’t break this last rule, and that is that you should never complain about your children’s friends, they are perfect. It is actually your own friends that cause your children to cringe. When your children choose their friends, they appear to you not to have applied some criteria that include the fact that such friends should be human beings. But you are wrong. Your children and their friends are normal. You’re the one who is not. I meant to write about mothers’ day but got entangled in the very wonderful world of child/parent rearing. If your own child fits into any or all of the above, then it is time for you to wonder who is rearing whom. In Nigeria now, mothers do not mother anymore, and fathers in general are clueless about the home, because people are more interested in making money. Yet, throwing government monies around the home like confetti at a wedding, particularly in the general direction of the angelic ones, only turns them into little devils. Unfortunately, the devil has a way of turning on its own sponsor, eventually. Let’s think again, mums, can our children celebrate us?

In October, 2010 the Independent National Election Commission (INEC), headed by Professor Attahiru Jega, announced cancellation of its earlier released 2011 election timetable just about two weeks after its release. I responded in an article titled “INECshould stop this distraction.”  On April 2, 2011, the day National Assembly (NASS) election was scheduled by INEC to hold, Nigerians trooped out in their millions to cast their votes. For hours they waited for accreditation in the hot sun. By about 1.00 pm, Professor Jega announced postponement of the election and moved it to Monday, April 4, 2011. Those two events portray INEC as an incompetent organization that lacks foresight and sagacity in planning and execution.

 

 

 

FACTS:

 

 

 

1.    Professor Jega, at the news conference where he announced the postponement of the NASS election, gave the late arrival of voting materials from overseas as the reason. But when did Professor Jega realize that the voting materials would arrive late. According to him, by 5.00 pm on the eve of the election the materials were yet to be delivered by the vendor. Yet, he waited until about 1.00 pm on the Election Day to announce the postponement.

 

 

 

 

2.    President Jonathan also had no idea about the logistics problems INEC was facing. Political parties also had no idea of the problem of delivery of voting materials from abroad. INEC leadership did not find it necessary to consult with the political parties and other stakeholders before the press conference.

 

 

 

 

3.    Monday, April 4 is not a right day because we cannot afford to toy with our students’ future or sacrifice their examination (WAEC) on the altar of institutional failure. I understand that the West African Examination Council examination commences on that day. I would rather that both the presidential election and the postponed NASS election should hold on the same day (April 9, 2011).

 

 

 

 

IMPLICATIONS:

 

 

 

1.    The credibility or reliability of INEC has seriously been impugned. There are already some conspiracy theories flying around:

 

 

i.              There are some people that want to create chaos in the country by frustrating the holding of the April elections. In other words, even subsequent elections may be frustrated in various forms.

 

 

 

 

ii.             A constitutional conference, being the demand of quite a number of progressives, may be forced by the failure of the election process. If it becomes very difficult to conduct rancour-free elections until May 29th, 2011, a sovereign national conference will be a fait accompli. INEC and undiscerning politicians may help willy-nilly to present Nigeria with a platform to come together at the table of brotherhood and discuss the basis of our union in order to avoid a cataclysm. The die is cast.

 

 

2.    Losers in the NASS election, whenever it holds, may have a ready excuse for their loss. This portends a highly charged political environment in the wake.

 

 

3.    Neither INEC nor the ruling party (president) have reasonable control of the election process.

 

 

 

THE WAY OUT:

 

 

1.    Ideally, Jega should have resigned after his postponement announcement. However, that would worsen the situation and create confusion and panic in the election process. Accordingly, Professor Jega may hang in until all elections are conducted before resigning. His capacity and efficiency at supervision of the election process have been called into question with the two incidents I have mentioned above. He may be a man of integrity, but his efficiency is highly in doubt.

 

 

2.    Jega and his commission should establish prompt communication channels with political parties. Daily briefings should be done until all the elections have been conducted. This is to remove doubts about the process that may be entertained by many stakeholders.

 

 

3.    Ballot papers and result sheets should be made available in all states at least 48 hours before elections are held. Accordingly, even if the papers are printed abroad, the materials must arrive in the country at least four days before scheduled elections.

 

 

We do not accept lame excuses from vendors or INEC. What connection has Japan natural disaster with Nigerian elections? INEC must work to wipe away our shame by yet giving Nigerians highly transparent elections whose acceptability will be a given among Nigerians.

 

 

I call on Nigerians to remain vigilant at polling booths, especially when INEC is implementing the modified open-secret ballot system. Those responsible for this national embarrassment should be identified, publicized, and adequately punished. We must not blame God as Professor Jega implied in his philosophical “Man proposes and God disposes” mantra. I am sure God is not the one that has been dispensing discredited elections in Nigeria. Our religious (or rather dis-religious) propensities have attained nationally embarrassing levels.

 

 

Finally, why must we print our election materials abroad? Ah, maybe the reason is why our big men prefer foreign hospitals to Nigerian ones; maybe that is why they prefer to send their children to study overseas. Our appetite for and patronage of foreign services and goods have been our bane. But will Nigerians do something to change this at the elections? The answer may just be few days away. Don’t give up on Nigeria, my dear compatriot. The weapon of change lies in your hand—your vote.

The Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN) has said the party is not ready to participate in the National Assembly elections, rescheduled to Monday, April 4th by INEC.A statement issued by Senator Lawal Shuaibu, National Secretary of ACN, and addressed to INEC chairman, reads:

“The Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN) pursuant to our resolve as promoters of democratic norms and practices, received with shock, the news of the postponement of the National Assembly elections, after all the assurances that INEC was ready for the elections every inch of the way. We however wish to posit as follows”:

“Given the huge logistical challenges as observed by every Party, we commend Prof Attahiru Jega for the courage to postpone the elections, which if allowed to continue in the circumstances would have again exposed INEC’s unreadiness for the exercise effectively, added to this, his rare ability to apologise for such lapses”.

“Given the sheer lack of capacity exhibited by the Operations Directorate, we are convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that INEC cannot between now and Monday, 4th April, 2011, account for all ballot papers already utilised, retrieve all sensitive materials in circulation and in the hands of various electoral officials nationwide. Added to this, is the fact that the same Operations and IT departments have not been able to avail political parties who are critical stakeholders in this exercise, the updated register of voters”,

“Taking cognisance of the fact that it is impossible for especially opposition parties to re-finance their agents sent to remote parts of the country and other logistical requirements given the extremely short time frame”.

“Bearing in mind the huge losses suffered by every sector of the national economy and especially ordinary Nigerians who eke out their living by the day, owing to the shutting down of all businesses”.

“Seeking to avoid voter fatique and allow for proper management of the elections,
The ACN condemns in strong terms the neglect and calculated attempt by the internal bureaucracy in INEC but especially the Operations Directorate in subverting the process thereby causing the nation monumental losses and undermining the integrity of the entire exercise”.

“Sir, this is our position and we believe shifting each of the elections by one week is still within the confines of the electoral act. Please accept our kind prayer for God’s guidance in your responsibility”.

DJ Sose: Young, dynamic and creative

12166305674?profile=originalIt is true that apples do not fall far from the tree. So it was not a coincidence to find out that Sose's father had also been a deejay in his youth. "My dad was also a dj, butthe difference between us was that, while he worked for free, I get paid quite a lotfor doing mine". Competitive from an early age, Sose won his first dancing competition at the age of five,singing and rapping. He then went on to write his first song at the age of thirteen. Meeting and then interviewing Sose gave me the rare opportunity to have a glimpse at his life experiences. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that not only had he built up a solid career but he was also well rounded educationally. He began his high school education at the International School, Ibadan. His family moved to Lagos a year later where he transferred to the Lagos State Model College, Badore. Three years later he enrolled in Adrao International in Victoria Island where he graduated. Sose then moved to Budapestin in 1998 for his A'levels and to take a two year Hungarian language course. Not long after his arrival, he had the opportunity to co-star in ‘Corrupt' an independent film alongside famed rapper, producer and actor Ice T as well as Silk the Shocker. An experience which he unassumingly describes as fun yet educational. Sose was admitted into the University of Hertfordshire where he studied Business Information Systems.He worked in the Information Technology industry for about a year. Unfulfilled, he enrolled at Cavendish College to obtain a professional certificate in film and video production.Mind, the Final FrontierDJ Sose sees the creation of music through mixing and blending different beats and rhythms as a form of expression and release. "I love music, I can't do without it. Most people place value on their phones, clothes, perfumes, etc. For me, it is my music. If I don't have my music, then there's a problem. You can lock me up, throw me in a dungeon, take everything I own, but don't touch my music or my music making ability." His music collection, according to him is a staggering forty thousand tracks. Like he said, "music is a drug and I'm addicted". Sose is comfortable mixing all types of genres from dancehall, to jazz and everything in between. If he had not chosen to be a deejah he would have been something else in the entertainment field. "In the broad range of entertainment I may have been anything, either a singer or an actor. There is no limitation to the talent one has, it is all about putting your mind to it and working to achieve your goals''. Sose has also worked as a producer for many artists such as Twisted Minds,R2bs, WandeCoal and Badman Floss. He has also worked collaboratively with talented producers like, Zela Zells,Jiff the General and Icon.The iconoclastStarting his career as a deejah, Sose realised he had to make himself stand out from the crowd. He randomly stumbled upon the solution. He had been a model at a photo shoot where the makeup artist applied body paint on the models faces to resemble tattoos. At the completion of the shoot he left in a rush forgetting to wash his face and boarded the train during London's bustling rush hour. He was listening to his music on his headphones oblivious to his fellow passengers stunned faces. Some inched away nervously and some got up and walked away. And there was his light bulb moment. It could not have come at a better time. He then made his facial tattoo a permanent part of his identity and he has not looked back since.It may be easy for you to forget dj Sose as a name, but as an entertainer, almost impossible. When asked if he was comfortable walking around with a tattoo on his face, without skipping a beat he said "I'm comfortable with it because in the beginning, people could barely remembering my name though it is so easy to pronounce. Now everywhere, people say do you know that guy, Dj Sose, the tattoo faced dj?" If Music be the Food of Life, then Spin On.... A classical case of innovation meeting talent, dj Sose's rise to stardom is to say the least, is a result of his hardwork and dedication. He has had memorable performances all over the world including Budapest, Famagusta (Cyprus), the UK, Kuala Lumpur, Tutsing(Germany), Porto Novo, Lagos, Abuja, Benin and Calabar. The most memorable was a performance in Kuala Lumpur on December 31, 2010. The nervous promoters begged djSose to fill in for the MC who never showed up. Again, with out skipping a beat he said yes, grabbed the microphone and carried the celebrations to the next level which involved impromptu dance competitions with a crowd of hundreds. The Malaysian promoters were wowed and amazed at how diverse he was. Not everyone who can spin is a skilled connector just as not everyone who writes songs can carry a tune.Final Four

1. If you were a lawyer, would you be a prosecutor or defender"Interesting. I have never been asked that question before. I would probably be a defender because of the ability to be able to help people. I do not like to be offensive, I do not like attacking, that is not my nature. If a fight breaks out, I am usually the one jumping in the middle to separate the fighters''.2. What if anything is too serious for you to joke about? "I guess I would have to say my family. They play a strong role in my life. In fact my mother actually designs and sews most of my outfits and constantly encourages me to be the best at what I do."3. What regrets do you have in life? "Really and truly, I have no regrets about my life. What I have gone through has made me who I am. If one little thing was different, I would not be the same person sitting here in front of you." 4. What is your concept of security?"Knowing that there is love. There are people out there who know and love me for who I am and not for my social position. My siblings, parents and friends who I know will always be there to back me up. Money no doubt gives comfort and you can buy a lot but you can never have security with just that." élan

James Ibori released !

on health grounds in Dubai....Wont return to Nigeria ...Still faces extradition to the UK

 

Ex Delta State Governor, James Ibori was, Saturday morning set free from detention by a court in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

But thefugitive is not expecd to return to Nigeria as the money laundering charge against him by heBrtish government i still pending.

We leant that he would be at home in Dubai while his appeal against the lower court whichordered his removal to theUnied Kingdom, continues.

Ibori, who is facing a deportation request from the London Metropolitan Police for trial in the United Kingdom to face corruption charges, was freed on health grounds.
