Minister wants Re-presentation of Gender Equality Bill

Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Sen. Aisha Al-Hassan, on Thursday urged the sponsor of the Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill to represent it to the Senate. The Bill, sponsored by Senate Minority Whip, Biodun Olujimi, was thrown out by the Senate on Tuesday. Alhassan Al-Hassan spoke on the sidelines of the 60th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women at UN headquarters in New York. “I received with mixed feelings, news of the rejection of the Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill by the Nigerian Senate. “The Bill would have addressed discriminatory practices against women, access to education, female entrepreneurship development, participation in governance, decision making and protection against violence. “We had hoped that with its passage Nigeria would have made a significant leap in the advancement of women, in conformity with UN Conventions, and other related instruments on the rights and development of women. “However, with due respect to religious and cultural sensitivities, we believe that the bill will be re-presented to the Senate, as soon as all contentious areas are addressed”, she said. The minister assured Nigerians that the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development will always do its best to promote the protection of Nigerian women against violence and all forms of abuses. She said Nigeria cannot afford to neglect women who constituted half of its population, and that there would be no meaningful development without the involvement of women. “We will continue to urge the Nigerian Senate to reconsider its position to ensure a speedy passage of the Bill,” she said. She said in Nigeria, women represented 49 per cent of the population, yet they occupied less than six per cent of parliamentary seats at the national level. These indicators, she said, negated International, regional and national benchmarks of at least 30 per cent representation for affirmative action. Al-Hassan said with seven women out of 109 Senators and 14 out of the 360 Representatives; women in Nigerian 8th Parliament were clearly outnumbered by their male counterparts. Nationwide, she said, in both Federal and State Legislatures, “there are less than 100 women out of the over one thousand four hundred men in parliament. “Nigeria is yet to be part of the African revolution although it is the largest economy and the most populous black nation. “The low representation of women in parliament has been attributed to cultural, traditional, religious, and financial factors because politics is capital intensive. Others are violence and inhibiting gender roles and capacity in internal party democracies. The minister also said there was urgent need to fast track modalities for increased representation of women in parliament and other decision-making organs.

Boko Haram: Sambisa Forest as big as Enugu state- Burutai

ENUGU – The Military High Command, Thursday,explained that the expanse of Sambisa forest, in Borno State where Boko Haram terrorists are hiding is largely responsible for the delay in flushing out the insurgents.

Ranking of Obas: Amosun wades into Alake Awujale rows...

#smh our kings are like beggars nowadays

Abeokuta—Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, yesterday, met with the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, and the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, in a bid to broker peace between the two top Yoruba traditional rulers. The two monarchs have been at loggerheads since Alake was alleged to have listed five top traditional rulers which put Awujale at the rear. Alake placed Ooni of Ife as number one, followed by Alaafin of Oyo, Oba of Benin, himself as number four and Awujale last. He had based his grading on the classification provided by the colonial masters based on their remuneration. But Awujale responded at an event in Lagos where he described Alake as a junior traditional ruler in Yorubaland. The governor and the two monarchs emerged from the meeting held at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan at 3:45 pm. The meeting, which was reportedly at the instance of the governor lasted for three hours. The closed door meeting was held by the governor, Awujale and Alake while those who accompanied them were not allowed at the meeting. Vanguard reliably gathered that the meeting was stormy as the Awujale reportedly came with some newspapers which carried the latest Alake’s vituperation to  express his anger. It was further gathered that the Alake also expressed his disappointment over the Awujale’s comment on the ranking and the allegations levelled against him. A top government official told Vanguard that the Awujale brought out a copy of Vanguard newspaper which carried the recent Alake reaction to his comment in Lagos. Fielding questions from newsmen, the governor said the presence of the two monarchs had nothing to do with the current crisis between them. The governor when asked about the outcome of the meeting with the  Obas, said; “I don’t want you to go and write anything out of context. Yes, we are here, our fathers are here to see me. Of course, we deliberated on so many things. I’m sure you want to say what is happening. Indeed nothing is happening. “They came here to see the possibility of how to make sure we have peace  in the state, among so many other things that we discussed. When asked about what transpired at the meeting, he said; “Don’t just sit somewhere and write. But for this matter, there is nothing like ranking of Obas. We know ourselves.” When asked why he was at the governor’s office, Awujale said “I want to say hello to you….there is no problem gentlemen, please. Thank you. There is no crisis between us, thank you.” In his response, Alake said he was at the Government’s House to brief him on the ongoing strike action by the state workers. Our fathers have ways, even before the advent of the colonial masters and  we have ways of living in harmony and I think we will continue to do that. “Don’t forget, and I’m saying this again with all  sense of responsibility, that in the context of we Yorubas, we know our pre-eminence status. ‘’Those of us from Ogun State want to keep up with that tradition. We are not going to fan any ember of disunity. What we are known for in Ogun State is that we are one and we are still one. Indeed, in the comity of the Yorubas, we know what we do, we know what we stand for and we will continue to do that”. Attempt by newsmen to get the governor talking on the crisis failed as he was evasive, denying intervening in the crisis by asking; “Intervene in what?”

Candidates rejects UTME scores, and demands for scrapping of Jamb. What went wrong? Is Jamb losing it?

Some candidates who sat for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, have rejected their scores to the examination being sent to their phones, saying the results are beyond their expectations. Speaking to Vanguard Learning, some candidates said JAMB is intentionally tampering with and failing candidates. For Anuoluwapo Oni, “I wrote the exam on March 5 but my result was tampered with as another person’s result was sent to me and posted on the JAMB website. Please note that I am not the only one with this problem, and we need a platform to voice our complaints.” For Joy Ezeani, “2016 UTME candidates, especially those that took their exams on 8th to10th of March 2016, are pleading with JAMB officials to stop scoring us too low. The systems we used were not good as they were always tripping off and we would have to wait for the server to come up. That really wasted our time.” In the same vein, Femi Adeoti said “JAMB is intentionally failing candidates and most of my friends and classmates are negatively affected. If you do very well, JAMB will score you 36 or less. I am really pained because I am a distinction student from Yaba College of Technology, so I wonder how I can score 184 in ordinary UTME. Please help us get our messages across.” Calling for the scrapping of JAMB as its objectives have been compromised, 22 years old Umar Ali from Kano State, said this year’s examinations show that JAMB can’t organise credible assessment of students for admission into tertiary institutions. He said: “The CBT mode of examination is a very good development if there is constant electricity, but this year’s exam was conducted at a time when electricity generation is below 1,570 MW. “

In my own opinion, scraping Jamb is not the way forward. I am suggesting they should reverse to PBT. ICT is alien to Nigeria and the country is not ready for it. 

Nigerians no longer happy, drops in Global Happiness Ranking

Abuja – Nigeria has been ranked the 103 happiest nation of the world, and 6th in Africa in the World Happiness Report. The World Happiness Report 2016 update, which ranks 157 countries by their happiness levels, was released in Rome on Wednesday, in advance of UN World Happiness Day, March 20th. As indicated by the report, Nigeria dropped from its 78th position in the World and 2nd in Africa in the 2015 happiness ranking. Denmark emerged the world’s happiest place, while Algeria, standing at 38 at the global level, maintains its position as the happiest place in Africa. Mauritius is now the second happiest country in Africa, followed by Libya, Morocco and Tunisia respectively. According to the report, eight sub-Saharan countries were among the 10 least happy places on earth to live. The bottom 10 were; Madagascar, Tanzania, Liberia, Guinea, Rwanda, Benin, Afghanistan, Togo, Syria and Burundi. South Africa and Ghana stood at 116 and 124 respectively on the Global happiness ranking. The World Happiness Report, an initiative of the UN, is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness, aimed at influencing government policy. The report reviews the state of happiness in the world and shows how the new science of happiness explains personal and national variations in happiness. It reflects a new worldwide demand for more attention to happiness as criteria for government policy. According to the report, leading experts across fields – economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, health, public policy and more – describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations. Healthy years of life expectancy, GDP per capital, social support , perceived absence of corruption in government and business, freedom to make life decisions and generosity are some of the factors the report considers. The first world happiness report was published in support of the April 2, 2012 United Nations (UN) high level meeting on happiness and well-being. The report was prepared by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs is the head of the SDSN and special advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Killing MTN not in Nigeria's best interest-FG

Minister of Communications Technology, Barr. Adebayo Shittu, has said that it will not be in the interest of Nigeria to send the leading telecom company in the country, MTN Nigeria, packing from the country. The Minister stated this on Thursday while reacting to the allegation of plot by Federal Government to strangulate the telecom company through the ongoing N1.04 trillion saga by the Nigerian Communications Commission. Shittu said it would be most unfair for some Nigerians to accuse government of having such plans, when in reality, MTN had made remarkable contribution to the socio-economic development of the country since its inception in Nigeria. ‘‘We do not want anybody to have the impression that Nigerian government wants to kill MTN, it is not in the best interest of Nigeria to kill MTN. MTN is a Nigerian company, most of their shareholders are Nigerians, it is registered as Nigerian company in the interest of Nigerians. ‘‘They even brought libration to us in the area of GSM operation when we had less than 500,000 line in a population of 150 million people. When we wanted to go digital (GSM), they were one of the few companies that successfully exploded into Nigerian ecosystem. ‘‘They also made life easier for us. They have been paying tax, and Nigerians have been employed. So, we don’t want to kill MTN. But that is not to say that when infractions have been committed, that sanctions will not follow. If sanctions follow, and there are disputes around it, it will be resolved.’’ On why the matter has lingered too long, he said, ‘‘it is not as if the dispute will not end. I see the concern they have shown, whether they have shown commitment to resolve the dispute, my position is that negotiations have not started at all. What the Ministry of Justice did is to get them show commitment for the real negotiation. ‘‘They have done both pre-conditions, and if they have done both, the next thing is to sit at the negotiation table to start negotiation.’’ While calling for restraints on the speculation, the Minister urged the public to always get the facts right before jumping into conclusion, insisting that the N50 billion payment by MTN was consequent upon their fulfillment of the preconditions given to them by the Ministry of Justice.

University of Ibadan Expels 80 students

Eighty students were expelled from the University of Ibadan at the end of the last academic session for poor academic performance. Vice Chancellor of Nigeria’s premier University, Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka, disclosed this today at the matriculation of 4008 students for the 2015/ 2016 session. The event which was postponed last week held at the university’s International Conference Centre. Twenty-eight of the expelled students came from the sciences, while 20 came from Agriculture and Forestry department. Arts produced 13 of them, Basic Medical Sciences 1, Public Health 1, Social Sciences 6, Education 4, Technology 5, and Veterinary Medicine 2. Olayinka told the freshmen that other reasons students could lose their studentship include: examination misconduct, unruly behavior, indecent behavior, vandalism, miscellaneous hall offences, unauthorized use/displacement/damage to university property, pilfering, insubordination, direct sale of bed space/squatting in halls of residence, membership of secret cult(s) on campus, illegal participation in the National Youth Service Programme, illegal registration as full-time student, and infringement of other university regulations. “Any of the under-listed is a criminal offence which must be referred to the Police: fraud, theft, burglary, assault occasioning bodily harm, murder, membership of a secret cult inside or outside campus, possession of fire-arms, arson, rape, possession and/or use of hard drug and drug trafficking and other criminal offences”. Olayinka advised the new students tasting freedom for the first time that freedom is not absolute. “Those of you who are leaving home for the first time would realize that you are now exposed to enjoy a measure of freedom, which you may not have enjoyed before, as you are no longer under the watchful eyes of your parents. This freedom, however, has its limitations. In other words, your freedom ends at the point where you trample on the fundamental human right of others, or when you infringe on the rules and regulations of the University”. He urged the new students to be studious. “Let me inform you that at the University of Ibadan, we do not tell students what to think. You have to learn to think for yourselves. Our teaching is designed to produce intellectual self-reliance-to teach you how to learn and how to take charge of your thinking. We encourage you to be independent in your judgment and critical in your analysis. We work to help you develop these skills here at UI, and we hope you will retain them for life. They will continue to serve you as you experience a world that is constantly and rapidly changing. I, therefore, want to charge you not to restrict yourselves to your field of study alone so as to profit maximally from the numerous activities that will be presented to you throughout the duration of your course in the university”. He warned the students to comport themselves in a manner that is befitting of an undergraduate student and or new postgraduate student of this premier institution, as the university would not tolerate any act of hooliganism and wanton destruction of properties – all in the name of students’ demonstration, indecent dressing, prostitution and or any other social vices”. Olayinka also warned students against cultism and sexual harassment. “Cultism by all estimation is evil and those who associate themselves with it are also evil. For this reason, you should not go into any relationship without thorough investigation. The approach employed is that the cultists camouflage in different colors to recruit members. You should live a modest life and avoid flaunting your financial disposition in public, as this is a veritable attraction to the hoodlums who engage in cultism”. The 4008 students admitted by the university this year rank the highest in recent times as admission was pegged at 3000. The Vice Chancellor disclosed that out of 23,219 students that made 200 and above that were invited for Post-UTME, 19,292 sat for the exam out of which 3,225 were given admissions adding additional 783 admitted were from 2,512 applicants received from Direct entry. “Those that make the institution first and second choice with score 180 and above were 32,587. Those that make it first and second choice with score 200 and above invited for Post-UTME were 23,219. Candidates who sat for the Post-UTME were 19,292 and candidates that were cleared for admission were 3,225. 2,512 applied through Direct entry and those offered admission were 783”. “A breakdown of the undergraduate admission on a faculty-by-faculty basis are: Agriculture and Forestry 408, Arts 618, Medicine 550, Education 784, Law 147, Pharmacy 90, Science 571, Technology 369, The Social Sciences 351, and Veterinary Medicine 120, totalling, 4,008”.

13.Mohammed Bah Abbah

Although he holds no patent on this invention, he is credited with taking on the challenge of making accessible the “pot-in-pot refrigerator” or “zeer”, a refrigerating device that does not use electricity, to people in rural areas. He is a recipient of the Rolex Award for Enterprise, an award that provided $75,000 which Mohammed used to produce and distribute his invention in 11 northern states in Nigeria.

Bio: Mohammed developed his pot-in-pot refrigerator by combining the knowledge he had gained from his grandmother’s craft of traditional pottery with simple laws of physics. He followed up on the idea by placing food in a small pot, which is then placed in a larger pot. The space between the two is filled with moist sand and a wet cloth cover is used to cover the whole set up. As the water in the moist sand evaporates through the larger pot, it carries heat away from the inner core of the whole set up.
Mohammed holds no patent on this invention because the pot making business is not new. What is novel is the fact that he set up a local production facilities to provide the pot-in-pot for the cost of $2 (N320) for the smaller pot-in-pot refrigerator and $4 (N640) for the bigger versions. The invention allows perishable food to extend their spoilage rate. For example, meat can be stored in it for up to two weeks instead of a few hours.

14. Olu Atanda

He is credited with the co-invention of a self-lubricating layer for a data-storage device and disk and holds the following patents at the USPTO.
*. Self-lubricating layer for data storage devices, United States Patent No. 6,677,105, January 13, 2004.
*. Self-lubricating layer for a data storage disk, United States Patent No. 6,430,114, August 6, 2002.

Wike Calls for Amaechi's Arrest

The Rivers State Government led by Governor Nyesom Wike has called on security operatives to adhere strictly to President Muhammadu Buhari’s directives without bias, urging them to arrest the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and prosecute him if he poses any security threat and violates the electoral laws, before, during and after the Rivers State re-run polls. The Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Austin Tam-George who made this declaration in a press statement, said Amaechi’s hotel room and vehicles should be searched to ensure that he was not in possession of sensitive materials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), before, during and after the election. The Commissioner said, Amaechi’s plot to truncate the electoral process in Rivers State through the instigation of violence had been perfected two weeks ago. He called on the security forces to quickly investigate disturbing security intelligence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had sown fake military uniforms and distributed to its members to cause mayhem during the elections, so as to plunge the State into anarchy. The Commissioner also requested an urgent investigation into credible information that the INEC ad hoc staff list is already populated with fanatical APC supporters, who have been mandated to rig the elections without scruples. Dr. Tam-George further posited that “the electoral law is no respecter of any person no matter how highly placed”, and urged INEC to be responsive to its duties and resist being pliable in the hands of Mr Amaechi. The Commissioner emphasized that INEC should recognize that it would be held to the highest operational and ethical standards throughout the electoral process. source:http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/03/17/wike-calls-for-amaechis-arrest/

Photos: Nigerian student assaulted by a white man as he was being booted out from Donald Trump rally

A Nigerian East Carolina University student, Adedayo Adeniyi was verbally and physically assaulted by a white man at a Donald Trump rally last Wednesday after he was targeted and thrown out for being black, New York Daily News, reports

20-year-old Adeniyi decided to attend the Donald Trump rally in Fayetteville, N.C. not as a protester or demonstrator, but out of curiosity.

"I was there just to watch and experience the surreal moment of someone like Trump running for president and speaking to thousands of people," he told the Daily News.

Without saying a single word during the entire event, Adeniyi was randomly targeted and thrown out of the event by police as seen and heard on video he recorded.

"At first I refused to leave because it was all just a product of being black at a Trump rally. Basically in that environment I'm guilty by association. But common sense told me to just listen to the cops and move along," Adeniyi recalled.

On his cellphone video Adeniyi, being told he has to leave, can be heard saying:

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. That's not me, that's them. I don't even know them. What? I don't even know them. I don't even know them"

The visibly shocked student reluctantly complied and was escorted down the stairs by the police.

"What happened next caused me to lose faith in America. The man at the end of the video is a moment I'll never forget," said Adeniyi.

One of Trump's supporters, a middle aged white man, looked him directly in the face and said, "F--k you, F--k you," right before slapping Adeniyi in the face.

"The hate in his eyes. The words. The hate in those words. The slap. It was disgusting and sad. At that moment I believed that America will stay and continue to be a hateful and bigoted country,"

"These are presidential candidate rallies. Not a KKK rally. The fact that I experienced hate at a candidate rally tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump and the people that support him. People will act more hateful and racist in environments that they feel not only encouraged to do it, but accept it as normal," he added.

Meanwhile the man who assaulted Adeniyi has been identified as Jason Wilton Wetzel (pictured is his mugshot and a screenshot from the video recorded by Adeniyi) seems to have shown some remorse.

"I can’t believe I did that. It was me, but I’m not a hateful man. I just got caught up. When I saw the video all over the news of me doing that to that young man, I was just disgusted with myself." said Mr Wetzel, who confirmed to the Daily News that it was him seen physically and verbally assaulting a Adeniyi.

Investigators said Wetzel, 70, moved to North Carolina from Georgia when his job with the military was transferred to Fort Bragg. According to detectives, Wetzel is accused of voting in both states in the 2012 primary and general elections as well as voting in both states in 2014.

"I have no criminal background," Adeniyi told The News. "This man does. So please explain to me who the real thug is. A young black man who is a junior in college majoring in medical laboratory science and who also happens to hold many leadership positions there? Or is it this man, with a criminal background who attacked me for no reason?"

Reached by phone Monday, Wetzel claimed that it was indeed him on the video, but said:

"I’m not a racist or hateful, I just got caught up. I can’t explain it. I want to apologize to this young man and maybe take him out to dinner or something."

Talented dog is filmed riding a moped with its owner on the back (photos)

It is said that dogs are man's best friend but will you trust your dog with your life? That's what one fellow did. In a clip shared online, a golden retriever can be seen looking all cool in sunglasses while riding a moped, what's more, its owner is a passenger.

It cruises through the street with the wind in its hair as a man sits behind him, relaxing back into his seat. Passing motorists cheer on the unlikely friendship as the owner sticks his thumbs up at them.
That is one talented dog.
