N100m Pension Bill: Akpabio Has Breached His Constitutional Oath

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has described the N100 million pension bill just passed into law by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly as immoral, unfair, unconstitutional and a rip-off on the people of the state.

“Akwa Ibom must be the only place on the planet where such pension scheme exists. The governor must now put Akwa Ibom ahead of his personal bank balance by immediately withdrawing this grotesque bill,” SERAP said in a statement.
The civil society group also called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to swiftly investigate the spending of public funds under the watch of Governor Godswill Akpabio and also punish any suspected corrupt practice.
It argued that Nigerians should not be “made to subsidise these bloated pensions and clearly undeserved perks. The governor obviously views disadvantaged Nigerians and poor pensioners according to Orwell’s Animal Farm dictum: ‘All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
Signing the bill into law, the group stated, amounted to a fundamental breach of the governor’s constitutional oath declaration to serve the interest of justice, common good, transparency and accountability. “This so-called proposed legislation means that millions of Nigerian, who continue to suffer from years of pervasive corruption and impunity of perpetrators will have to fund the massive and unjust pensions for Governor Akpabio and his deputy and others that will come after them.
“SERAP is appalled by this apparently unfair and discriminatory law. There is absolutely no justification for such law at a time when the pensions systems across the country are in poor shape, and pensioners continue to be denied the fruit of their labour,” the statement said.

CBN Did Nothing Wrong By Spending N56 Billion On Varsities, Poly – Sanusi Lamido

Suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Malam Sanusi Lamido, has disclosed that he only disbursed the sum of N56 billion as intervention fund for the provision of infrastructure at 27 universities and six polytechnics across the country.

According to him, based on the dividend payments to the Federal Government in two years – 2012 and 2013 – there was nothing wrong in the apex bank undertaking “capital projects of N56 billion in five years”.
These formed part of his remarks at the Zonal meeting of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, (SSANU) held at Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST) on Friday.
Sanusi also appealed to the FG not to suspend on-going projects funded by CBN at various universities based on the bad-blood between them.
He said: “I want to clarify that a lot of numbers have been thrown around that I have spent N160 billion university interventions. I want to tell you that from 2009 to 2013 the total amount disbursed by the CBN on all the contracts at universities,  polytechnics, secondary schools and CBN branches was N56 billion”.
The Kano-born prince clarified that it was an average of N11 billion per annum, noting that CBN has in 2013 alone given the federal government a dividend of N159 billion and N80 billion in 2012.
Justifying his spending on universities, Sanusi asked: “if CBN was giving N159 billion and N80 billion as dividends in two years, what is wrong in undertaking capital projects of N56 billion in five years?”
He stressed the need for SSANU and ASUU “to appeal to the federal government that it should let the projects continue” because according to him, “History will judge as all structures are there for all to see”.
He continued: “Several months ago, ASUU was on strike because federal government did not meet its commitment to developing university education. The federal government came to me as part of its efforts to end ASUU strike, saying that the CBN should give the list of the project it had carried out in Nigerian universities and the deputy should explain to ASUU that CBN as agency of government has ongoing projects at the universities”

Cameroonian Muslims, Minister Advise Fellow Believers Not To Marry Abducted School Girls

Following a recent video posted online by Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, threatening to sell the abducted 276 secondary school girls in Chibok, Borno State, some Muslims in Cameroon and the Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, are reportedly calling on their fellow believers not to marry any of these girls should they be offered to them.

According to a report on AriseNaija.com, no other topic in recent years has generated a heated debate in Cameroon as much as the activities of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram.

It was gathered that the debate took on a new dimension some media reports suggested that the over two hundred school girls kidnapped from a school in northeastern Nigeria on April 14 might had been transferred to Cameroon and Chad.

The reports also speculated that the kidnapped teenagers might have been forced to marry Islamic extremists.

This is after Shekau warned in a video recording that he would sell the girls at the marketplace. Some sources in Nigeria said a bride price of $12 (9 Euros) was all that one needed.

As a result of this, it was stated that Muslims in Cameroon have been calling on fellow believers not to marry any of these girls should they be offered to them.

According to Muslim leader, Nchotu Soule, anyone seen acting suspiciously with a girl should be reported to the authorities.

He said: “The prophet Mohammed insists that Islam is a religion of peace. Any true faithful of Islam will want to reject anything that comes from the Boko Haram.

“They are using our Muslim brothers here to be able to carry out their activities.”

It could be recalled that sometime ago, the Cameroonian authorities warned that Boko Haram is keen on recruiting members from Cameroon.

The situation worries many citizens such as Silas Mao, a university student in Yaounde.

He said very little was being done to stop Boko Haram. “If Cameroon and Nigeria decide, they can stop Boko Haram because I know that they are not more powerful than these states,” Mao said.

He also said he was sure the Islamist militant group had a base in Cameroon.

“If nothing is done, we will find ourselves in a situation like the one in Arab states where such people dictate what is done,” Mao warned.

Commenting on the situation, Cameroon’s Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, said he was shocked by accusations that Cameroon was not collaborating with Nigeria to free the girls from their captors.

Bakari said that Cameroon will never ever serve as a support base for destabilisation activities towards other countries.”

The minister also added that Cameroon was a victim of what he called ‘rather unfortunate and heinous crimes’ in Nigeria.

14 Suspected Boko Haram Members Arrested In Niger Republic

Fourteen suspected members of the dreaded Islamist sect Boko Haram were arrested in neighboring Niger Republic on Tuesday after a gun duel with security personnel in Shatimari village in eastern region of Difa State.

Difa state of Niger Republic is some 1,400 km east of the country's capital, Niamey, and borders two Nigerian states of Yobe and Borno where a lot of Boko Haram attack has carried out.

Yakubu Usmana Gawo, the state governor in an interview said the gunmen came with heavy guns and sophisticated weapons and were arrested on different spots while trying to escape from the state after a robbery incident, adding that he could not identify the names of the kind of weapons they came with as he was not a military man.

"We have arrested 2 injured people among them; one was arrested in the town. We also arrested eight of the gunmen while trying to run away from the town and we recovered eight mobile phones from them," he said.

He explained that this wasn't the first time such incidences were occurring in the state but this one recent one happened to be the worst because of the kind of weapons they insurgents carried.

He however said he was not sure if they were Boko Haram members because they are not known for robbing people of their monies.

Some days back, suspected Boko Haram were said to have attacked the town of Kousséri in the Far North Province of Cameroon where they killed at least one security personnel at a local paramilitary police post and released their members who were being detained.

There were also reports that members of one Niger gang were collaborating with Boko Haram who pay them money

I'm Tired Of Keeping My ''Thing'' Until After Marriage

I'm a 25 years old lady. Growing a good relationship has been a daunting challenge for me, it just won't last. Sometimes my fellow ladies take him from me or lack of sé'x causes our separation even after letting him know from the beginning that I am totally for a no sé'x before marriage relationship. At first they would accept only to walk out when I have fallen in love.
Some of these men have been good to me but sé'x is the only barrier. Some said I'm too rigid. I have really worked on my character because at some point I thought I was lacking some good morals. My friends always advice me that sé'x keeps relationship going.
But I want to know, can't one have a healthy relationship without sé'x?
As a vir-gin, if I desire for a man's affection, is it wrong? I really need advice because I'm heart broken now. And I'm beginning to have a rethink on my determination to keep "my thing" until after marriage.

Boko Haram Cut Off Nigeria’s Border Town With Cameroon

Islamist sect Boko Haram has now reportedly cut off Nigeria’s border town with Cameroon, Gamboru, from the rest of the nation as they blew off the only bridge linking the town with Nigeria.

It was revealed Thursday that Gamboru where over 300 people were killed on Monday was technically cut off from Nigeria as a result of the attack on the bridge.
The damage on the bridge, according to residents of the town, who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri has made it difficult for them to flee into Nigeria and left some of them with no other choice but to take refuge in Cameroon,
The only option left for people traveling to and from Gamboru, according to the source, is to go into Banki near Bama local government area of Borno into Cameroon and later enter Gamboru from another Cameroonian village.
The source also revealed that 315 corpses were buried from the attack on Monday by the insurgents on the commercial town of Gamboru.

Graphic pics: Suspected Female Ritualist Set Ablaze By A Mob In Abule Egba

An angry mob set ablaze a suspected female kidnapper on Tuesday on Ekoro Road at Abule Egba area of Lagos after she was caught with three children.

The woman was said to have kidnapped the three children who were on their way to school in the area at about 7a.m this morning while pretending she was taking them to school but she ran out of luck as she was spotted by a bread seller who raised an alarm.

Crowd gather to watch the incidentAccording to an eyewitness who identified himself as Ikisa, she tried to escape but was caught by a mob. When she was questioned on the ownership of the children, she claimed they were hers but when they realized she was lying, they beat her thoroughly, hung a tyre on her neck, poured petrol on her and set her ablaze.

Other sources said the unidentified woman came with a jeep which she parked at a distance and the car was later taken to the Oke-Odo Police Station, while others said she wanted to take the children into a tricycle before she was caught.

Policemen from the Oke-Odo Police Station watched helplessly as she had burnt completely before they got to the scene.

Shocked Survivors Count Their Dead After Boko Haram Attack

Traders burned alive in their stalls, whole families murdered as their homes were set alight: shocked survivors told Wednesday of Boko Haram’s latest atrocity as they counted their dead in north Nigeria.

Islamist gunmen razed scores of buildings as they stormed the town of Gamboru Ngala, on the Cameroon border, on Monday, firing on fleeing civilians and leaving hundreds dead according to witnesses.
Survivors said the extremists overran the town in armoured trucks and on motorcycles, making it too dangerous for locals to return immediately.
Details of the ruthless attack emerged bit by bit as they dared venture home — to a town “littered” with dead bodies, Musa Abba, a witness, told AFP by telephone.
Area Senator Ahmed Zanna put the death toll at 300, citing information provided by locals, in an account supported by numerous residents.
“We have been collecting bodies from all over the town, on the streets and in burnt homes,” Abba said.
“Nine members of a family were burnt alive in their home.”
Another resident, Babagana Goni, said he counted 30 bodies on the streets before returning home, unable to withstand the sight.
“Some bodies are burnt beyond recognition,” he said. “Some of the bodies were shot while others had their throats slit, which made me sick.
“I couldn’t continue the count.”
Gamboru Ngala has been attacked repeatedly in the past, but Abba said this was the worst Boko Haram attack it had seen.
Senator Zanna said the town had been left unguarded because soldiers based there had been redeployed in an effort to rescue more than 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14.
The shocking mass abduction has sparked global outrage, and offers from the United States, Britain, France and China to help Nigeria recover the children, and tackle the spiralling security threat posed by Boko Haram.
Villagers have been conducting funerals for the dead since Tuesday, Goni said, and only gradually realised the scale of the killings as more and more bodies emerged.
“The town has buried more than 150 people and rescue teams are still recovering more bodies, particularly in the market.”
“Many traders were burnt alive in their shops where they hid when sounds of gunfire and explosions broke out in the town.”
He said the dead included traders from neighbouring Cameroon and Chad, whose relatives had since recovered their bodies for burial at home.
Senator Zanna said the town’s economic and business centres had been destroyed, with its market — a hub for traders from all over the region — completely burned.
Monday’s savage attack prompted Cameroon’s military to reinforce security along the Nigerian border, a medical source told AFP from the border town of Fotokol, requesting anonymity.
“The toll is very heavy. We believe there are more than 200 dead,” the source said, adding that some 2,000 Nigerians, including soldiers had fled to Cameroon, and that some 30 bodies had been transported to the town.
“People had their throats slit, others were shot,” said the source. “Some of the bodies were charred. It was horrific.”

CREATE ACCOUNT | SIGN IN How Rapist drugged, inflicted machete cuts on 15 year old girl inside Bush(Photo)

A suspected rapist who was allegedly refused sex by a grade six pupil of Young Tajudeen Middle School, Ede, Osun State (name withheld) attacked his victim and inflicted injuries on her.The assailant, who some claimed was a ritual killer, inflicted machete cuts on the 15-year-old girl’s head, legs and wrist.
According to Punch, the pupil was living with her grandmother in Ede, Osun State, while her mother  lived in Lagos State.She was said to have gone inside a bush in the town to pick some mangoes last Wednesday when the man allegedly accosted her and wanted to rape her.
She said...

 I went to the farm to pick mangoes on the day I was attacked. As I was heading for home, I met a man who asked me to give him some mangoes and I did.The man asked me of my name and I told him my name is Suweba, but my real name is (withheld). The man later said  he wanted to have sex with me, but I told him I was too young for that.The man threatened to cut off my head if I didn’t oblige him. He held my head, forced my mouth open and dropped a white pill inside my mouth. I fell down and I became unconscious. I was attacked around 2pm and I woke up when it was getting dark maybe around 7pm.I managed to crawl to the footpath and shouted for help, but none came until the following morning.”

Some farmers, who were said to have found the girl inside the bush the following day, rushed her to the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital in Osogbo for treatment.The victim was said to have been brought to the hospital with maggots oozing  out of the wounds all over her body.The maggots infested wounds made some people to believe that the girl was attacked more than 48 hours before she was brought to the hospital.
One of the medical personnel at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital told our correspondent that the girl was brought to the hospital with maggots all over the wounds.
The mother of the victim, Abebi , told our correspondent that the girl’s father had died and her grandmother said she should not take her back to Lagos.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, when contacted said that the command had not been briefed of the case.

Boko Haraam: Islamic Council Declares One Month Fasting

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has called on Muslim faithful to join in a one month fasting and prayers introduced by the council to seek God’s intervention in the current activities of Boko Haram insurgents in the country.

Vice Chairman of the council, Alhaji Dauda Ajagu, who disclosed this on Monday in Onitsha, Anambra State, said fasting and prayers would take place every Mondays and Thursday throughout this month of May.
He therefore directed Muslims to adhere strictly to the fasting and prayers since, according to him, it is only God that can restore peace and harmony in the country.
Ajagu condemned the activities of the Boko haram sects, adding that what they were doing was un-Islamic and could not in any way, draw any support from Islamic leaders.
He said the council was completely dissociating itself from Boko Haram activities and warned insurgents to desist from kidnapping and bombing and be of good behaviour, if they really wanted to see the much cherished Paradise of God.
Ajagu also appealed to Muslim leaders and fathers of Boko Haram members to call their subjects to order now that they were over-stepping their bounds before it was too late.
“God’s wrath awaits those who shed innocent blood for whatever guise,” he said.
He commended the Federal Government and the Joint Task Force, JTF, for their efforts so far in fighting the insurgents and urged them not to relent until their nefarious activities were stamped out completely from the surface of the nation.

Unidentified Gunshots Cause Panic At Edo House Of Assembly

Yesterday, May 6, unidentified gunshots within the precinct of the Edo State House of Assembly caused confusion at the Kings Square in Benin City.

As it's unclear who was shooting, there are several theories about what has happened. Some sources attributed the incident to an accidental discharge from the gun of a police escort said to be attached to a lawmaker, while others said the gunshots were from some thugs hanging around the Assembly complex.

It was gathered that the incident has forced some lawmakers, who had just risen from the day’s plenary, to leave the Assembly premises in fear.

Meanwhile, the political crisis in the Edo chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was said to be taking a toll on the House of Assembly, with some legislators loyal to Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu faction of the party allegedly planning to defect with him to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) very soon.

The development has heightened the already charged political atmosphere, pitting the lawmakers loyal to Governor Adams Oshiomhole and those loyal to the former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu against each other

Abducted School Girls: House Of Rep Member Faults Patience Jonathan's Meeting

A member of the House of Representatives, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has faulted the summoning of some Borno State government officials over the abduction of over 200 school girls in Chibok, by Patience Jonathan.



According to the lawmaker, Patience Jonathan's action was unconstitutional as her office is not recognised by the constitution.

Patience Jonathan had summoned a meeting on Sunday at Aso villa to discuss the abduction of the schoolgirls and to find a solution to rescuing them but some officials were absent and she broke down in tears.

Speaking shortly after a plenary session yesterday, Abike said the first lady went beyond the limit of her office, adding that it is unthinkable for the first lady to summon the Borno state commissioner of police.

"Summoning public officials like a Commissioner of Police goes beyond the powers of the first lady. It’s like summoning the Inspector General of Police. She has gone beyond the limit of that office," Abike said.

She also condemned Monday arrest of some women who came out to protest over the missing school girls from Chibok, describing it as 'unreasonable'.

She added that the harassment against Nigerian women should stop because the women will not rest until the girls are rescued and re-united with their families.

Recall that Mrs. Naomi Mutah Nyadar, leader of the protest over missing girls in Boko Haram captivity, was arrested on Monday following orders from the first lady but Patience Jonathan denied having any hand in the arrest.

The opposition party, APC had also condemned Patience Jonathan's action, wondering where the First Lady derived the powers to summon elected and appointed officials to Aso Rock to answer her queries over the missing girls.

Can  Figure Out How This Happened?

''I Am A Married Mother On The verge Of Committing Adultery with Another Man, Please Help''

“I have been married for four years. My husband and I have three kids. I have a significant problem. I am extremely attracted to another man who possesses those qualities that I often criticize my husband for not having — spontaneous, quick witted, fun, exciting — all the things that life is not always about on a daily basis. My husband is also quick witted and bright, but is also very bottom line and highly focused on day to day responsibilities that are not so exciting — job, bills, etc.
I have the opportunity to act on my attraction, which I believe is mutual. My heart says to act on it, and I have mildly flirted already, but my brain says no, because I am scared of the consequences.
Is this natural? What should I do?”

JUST IN: US Special Forces To Storm Nigeria Over Abducted School Girls In Borno

In an attempt to assist Nigeria on the unabated acts of terrorism and the increasing cases of kidnapping going on across the country, the US Special forces will any time soon storm Nigeria.

According to reports, the major focus of the forces is to assist the country on the search-and-rescue operation of the abducted secondary school girls in Chibok, Borno State.

It was also gathered that besides rescuing the kidnapped school girls, the United States security forces were also on a mission to Nigeria to bring terrorist activities inflicted on innocent citizens of Nigeria in parts of the country by the dreaded Boko Haram sect to an end.


* President Jonathan has finally accepts US offer to assist Nigeria fight Boko Haram

This is according to the communication of the United States President Barack Obama with President Jonathan offering to deploy US security personnel and assets to work with the Nigerian security forces.

Dr Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, stated this during a press briefing with the State House correspondents in Abuja yesterday.



 * US Special Forces

Abati added that the president has welcomed Obama’s offer to assist Nigeria on rescuing the abducted school girls and fight terrorism in the land, which was conveyed to him by the US secretary of state Mr John Kerry in a telephone conversation on Tuesday.

The presidential spokesman said that the US Secretary of State also assured Jonathan that the US was “wholly committed to giving Nigeria all required support and assistance to save the abducted girls and bring the reign of terror unleashed on parts of the country by Boko Haram to an end”.

Abati also informed that President Jonathan also met with the chief of defence staff, service chiefs and heads of national security agencies in continuation of the national efforts to find and rescue the abducted girls.

Abducted Girls: Women's Protest In Abuja Continues

Nigerian women demanding the immediate release of the abducted Chibok girls continue to protest in Abuja on Wednesday.


*File photo: Chibok women protest in Abuja

It was mentioned by one of the protesting women from Edo State identified as Aisha Yusuf that the World Economic Forum on Africa which is to start today will not stall the march.

She was quoted saying by Premium Times:

"We will keep doing this until we get our girls back home and alive. Until we hug them in our arms. We know we are allowed to protest because our constitution allows that. I have a 12-year-old and I cannot just imagine her being abducted and not knowing where she is... Every time I go back home, I hug my daughter because I think there are more mothers out there who don’t have the opportunity to hug their daughters and it’s just not fair."

Officials reinforced security in the country capital ahead of the Forum.

The protesters also demanded that the military regularly update them on the development and the future steps to be taken, stressing though that they are not urging the officials to disclose the operation details which are to be kept secret.
