| Anambra state University renamed Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:53 PM PDT   The bill was passed during the plenary of the legislature in Awka to honour the former Biafra hero. The decision followed the report of the House Committee on Education which recommended the change of the name. Continue... Mrs Rita Maduagwu (APGA Nnewi South 2), the Chairman, House Committee on Education, recalled that the bill had been read the second time on the floor of the house on Dec. 17, 2013. She said that the committee found that the university's name had been changed before from Anambra State University of Science and Technology and that there were a number of provisions in the extant law that required review. "After due consideration of facts and information, the committee recommends that the law establishing the university be repealed while a new law aimed at amending the principal law be passed," Maduagwu said. Mr Valentine Ayika (PDP Njikoka1) said that the bill was due for passage since it was read second time in December 2013. Mr Tony Muonagor (APC Idemili North) said that the aim was to immortalise the late Ojukwu and to encourage hard work among the people of the state and Nigeria at large. Mr Ebele Obi (APC Idemili South) said that the passage was a welcome development. Mr Obinna Emenakaya (APGA Anambra East) said that the application for the change of name was long over-due since it was meant to immortalise a man who fought and lived for the Igbo people. The Speaker, Mrs Chinwe Nwaebili, said that the university would be a multi-campus institution located in Awka, Igbariam and Uli. She said members of the committee on education did a good work and urged others to prove their worth on any assignment given at committee level or otherwise Source: NAN |

| Grandmother slaughters, drinks grandson’s blood in Minna Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:16 AM PDT  A Minna Chief Magistrates' Court on Thursday ordered the remand of a 55-year-old woman, Fatima Tsaraka for allegedly killing her grandson. The accused it was alleged abducted her grandson, took him to a nearby bush where she and two others slaughtered him, made a meal of his flesh and drank his blood. Tsaraka, arraigned alongside Amina Mohammed, 65, and Zhitsun Aliyu, 38, is facing a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and cannibalism. Continue The accused were arraigned on Sept. 1, but the prosecutor requested an adjournment to enable police conclude investigation. At the resumed hearing of the case, the Magistrate, Mr Hamidu Bima, ordered the continued detention of the accused pending legal advice from the State Directorate of Public Prosecutions. Bima subsequently adjourned the case to Sept. 25. Earlier, the Prosecutor, Cpl. Moses Mbaga, had told the court that the victim's father, Mr Mohammed Doko of Koso Village, Lavun Local Government Area, reported the matter at `A' Division Police Station, Bida, on Aug. 15. He said the complainant alleged that the accused abducted the boy, took him to a nearby bush where they slaughtered him, made a meal of his flesh and drank his blood. The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 97, 221 and 218 of the penal code. The accused, who pleaded guilty to the charges, however appealed for leniency and blamed their act on a spell cast on them by witches. (NAN) |

| GEJ won't interfere with ongoing investigation of accusation against Ali Modu Sheriff Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:20 AM PDT 
The totally erroneous basis for that charge was the spurious claim that Senator Sheriff accompanied President Jonathan on his recent trip to Ndjamena as a member of his entourage. Although Senator Sheriff himself has already given the lie to that claim through his Media Adviser, the Presidency wishes to affirm, for the purpose of emphasis, that the former Borno State governor was not on President Jonathan's delegation to Chad. In keeping with President Jonathan's commitment to transparency and openness in the conduct of government business, names of the key members of his delegation were announced a day before his trip to Ndjamena. They included the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), the Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nurudeen Mohammed and the Director-General of National Space Research and Development Agency, Prof. Seidu Mohammed. As can be easily verified from the complete list of members of the Presidential entourage to Chad which was also circulated on Sunday and never changed, Senator Sheriff's name was not on it. The only other persons on the list were the President's aides, security personnel and journalists. The APC and others who rushed to condemn President Jonathan for a non-existent indiscretion would have found, if they took the least trouble to double-check, that there was absolutely no factual basis for their accusation. Those who associate with Senator Sheriff know that he has longstanding interests in Chad and often spends a lot of his time there. He happened to be in Ndjamena at the time of President Jonathan's visit and joined other Nigerian residents of the Chadian capital in coming to the airport to welcome their President. That was the full extent of his participation in the visit and it was also at Ndjamena Airport that the pictures which formed the basis of the bogus allegation of President Jonathan hobnobbing with an "accused sponsor of terrorism" were taken. The former Governor's presence in Chad was certainly not at President Jonathan's instance and he did not participate in any of the President's discussions with President Idriss Deby or his other engagements in Ndjamena. President Jonathan is fully aware of the allegation made against Senator Sheriff by Stephen Davis. That allegation is already being investigated by the security agencies who will make their findings known to the public in due course. The President assures all Nigerians that he has not willfully taken any action that could prejudice the outcome of that ongoing inquiry. He seizes this opportunity to reassure the nation once again of his total commitment to doing all within his powers to bring all identified and verified sponsors of terrorism to justice, and ending the menace of violent extremism in the country.

| Beninoise man arrainged in court for stealing Chris Ayanwu's N10m, Jewellery Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:02 AM PDT  According to the prosecutor of the case, Cpl Innocent Odugbo, the suspect, a resident of 221, Temple Heights, Flat 6, Banana Island, Lagos, had in July this year conspired with one Alex Sossou, a cook who is currently at large, to steal from the senator's house. Continue... The prosecutor said Amoussou had sometime back introduced Sossou as a cook to Senator Anyanwu and even stood as a guarantor for Sossou to be employed as a cook by the Senator at her Imo state house. Upon his arrival at her home, Sossou is alleged to have broken into a safe in her bedroom and stole the cash, jewelry as well as her land documents. He thereafter absconded to his village in the Republic of Benin. Efforts to get him arrested have so far yielded no result. The accused, Amoussou pleaded not guilty to the charge of theft and conspiracy. The Magistrate, Mrs O.O. Olanipekun granted him bail in the sum of N10million with two sureties in the same sum and adjourned the case to October 13th for hearing. |

| Nigerian man arrested for abducting & raping a woman in the US Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:17 AM PDT   According to police report, early Sunday morning, police came to the house (right), in Brookline and arrested Samuel Okorie. He was booked on charges including rape, kidnapping and robbery. A 21 year old woman identified Okorie as the man who sexually assaulted her. Police say the victim ran up the street, crying for help. Neighbours said she was screaming 'help me, help me'. When a neighbour approached her, she said "he raped me, he's coming to get me.". He's such a good looking guy, why would he turn to rape? And then the story is somehow. Continue.. Police report says Okorie grabbed the woman from behind near a gas station on Saturday night, grabbed her cellphone and pushed her into nearby bushes where he sexually assaulted her. Reports states that Okorie then dragged the girl to his home where another sexual assault took place. Detectives said the victim attempted to escape many times but was restrained by Okorie. Eventually she did manage to get away and ended up at a neighbour's house down the street, who then called the police. Neighbours described Okorie as quiet, friendly and were surprised he was involved in something like this. He has been arrested and is currently held at the Allegheny county jail. His bail is set for $150,000. A hearing is scheduled for next week. |
| Oscar Pistorius may be found guilty of manslaughter; what the judge said Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:25 AM PDT  *He was negligent *He could have run to the balcony and screamed. He could have called security. *He was reckless, acted in haste and used excessive force *He had other options but chose to use a loaded gun *He could have run to the balcony and called for help like he did after the shooting *He could have called for help in less time it took to shoot through the door. *He had reasonable time to reflect and think *There was no explanation why Oscar didn't call security before arming himself and going to the bathroom. *If he woke and found someone over him and opened fire, that would have been excusable conduct. Continue... *Many people suffer from crime but not everyone sleeps with a firearm under their bed *His conduct could be explained by looking at his past. But that does not excuse his conduct. *Growing up in crime-riddled environment with a paranoid mother is just an explaination not excuse *Many South Africans grew up in crime-riddled environment, they don't go about killing others *Explains that the court must use the test of the reasonable man to determine whether Oscar was negligent. *The test for negligence: weather a reasonable person would have foreseen the reasonable possibility of the consequence. *Defence said conduct of Oscar was brought about by several factors like lack of burglar bars on windows The court was adjourned and will resume at 9.30am tomorrow... |

| Breaking News: Judge finds Oscar Pistorius not guilty of murder Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:30 AM PDT  She explained that Oscar's reaction after killing Reeva shows he didn't have criminal intent, hadn't foreseen he'd killed her. She said he could not have faked his reaction minutes after the shooting. She even dismissed the whatsapp message between the lovers, saying relationships are dynamic. She also said evidence did not support the state's claim of second degree murder. "The state has not proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. There are just not enough facts to support such a finding'- she said.While he's not guilty of premeditated murder, he awaits to find out if he's guilty of culpable homicide (manslaughter) which is the negligent death of another. It means there was no intention to kill but the killing is unlawful. The court has adjourned for early lunch. |

In the build-up to that date, there will be dissenting voices as usual protesting the stunted growth of the country and pointing out that there is a long way to go.

| A concerned Nigerian Mom on Ebola and resumption of schools Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:48 AM PDT  I just received a mail confirming that schools will re-open on Monday 22nd September, 2014. After reading it, I felt compelled to put on paper my thoughts since the announcement of same by the Federal Government. One thing that struck me is that I am yet to receive information about confirmed (not advised/suggested) nationwide measures that have been put in place to ensure the safety of our children from the Ebola virus upon resumption at school in two weeks." Continue...The reason for moving the resumption date forward by three weeks was given as "containment of the Ebola virus in Nigeria". How does that statement stand in view of the present situation in Port Harcourt? I returned to Lagos from a week's trip to Abuja on Friday 5th September, 2014. The first issue I had,which I mentioned to an airport official was that just before boarding the planes (in Lagos and Abuja), passengers (adults and children) are given a rub-down. The officials checking our bodies were wearing gloves. However, the same gloves were worn while touching a good number of people. The officials were protected, but how about the passengers being touched with the gloves that had been used to touch many others? On arrival at the Abuja airport, the temperature of every passenger was taken before entry was granted into the Federal Capital Territory. Of concern is that on departure from Abuja, this was not the case. Worse still, Lagos State that had the index case of Ebola welcomed us without any precautionary measures of any kind. We simply picked up our bags and walked into the city. With instances where infected people have traveled from one state to another, we should be worried. It is understandable that we want our children educated, but we need to be reminded that we can only educate the healthy and living. Ebola virus in Nigeria is an unprecedented occurrence that has to be handled as such. "Better safe than sorry" should be the motto here. So far, we have been blessed in the manner that no child has contacted the disease. Children play indiscriminately with one another. A child of what age can be guaranteed to identify the symptoms of the Ebola and keep away from it? How many times do we have to remind our children not to put their hands in their mouths and cover their mouths when they yawn, cough or sneeze? How do we tell them not to play with their friends as they are used to or not to show concern if one of them gets hurt and is bleeding? How can we really be sure that our 3 to 16 year olds would be safe from Ebola in a place where we cannot control who they come in contact with; a place where they share toilets, eat and play with others. How about our babies at crèche who we can't even attempt to explain this to and who cannot verbalize their day at "school"? I am the typical "Nigerian Mum"….ensuring my kids are on top of their school work, home work and leisure activities. At this time, I must pause and realize that prevention is the only option here as there is no cure! If the children have to stay home a little longer while this epidemic is eradicated or contained NATIONWIDE then so be it. If this implies a shorter Christmas break this year or just four weeks of Summer break next year to make up for the lost education time, so be it. One thing I am sure no parent wants to deal with is the anxiety if a child comes home with a fever. We all know that at school, children love to share all things with one another from the water in their bottles to the flu. Then again, which parents want to have to take their child to the hospital these days? If the doctor in Port Harcourt could go to work for some days after being infected with Ebola then we should be more concerned. This was an educated person, in fact someone who knew the consequences of his actions more than most, but he still put others at risk. Worst of all, these were colleagues and patients who could not tell from his demeanor that he was sick. They trusted him and could never have imagined that he would expose them to a deadly virus. To our leaders, I ask what control measures against Ebola have been put in place in ALL schools, particularly the government and state schools? I visited a private school in Abuja and before we could go in, our temperatures where taken. We should remember that even if private schools are well catered for, the children of our drivers, domestic helps and "junior staff" attend public schools. How many infrared thermometers have been distributed across these schools in Nigeria? Who would be responsible for taking the temperature of EVERYONE going into ALL schools? Since a symptom of Ebola is sudden fever, how often would the temperatures of students need to be taken in the course of the day? What Ebola emergency responses have been set up by location of ALL schools in Nigeria? What awareness has been carried out in the villages and remote areas of the country, where we have schools too? How will adherence to control measures (if and when they are in place) against Ebola in Nigerian schools be monitored, by whom and how frequently? What steep penalties have been put in place for schools that default? As a parent I want to see action and not hear words! In a country where a nurse can flee quarantine and a primary contact with the index case can evade detection, with both of them traveling across state lines, I demand action from government before our children are asked to return to school. It's not enough to ask "Ministries of Education in the 36 states of Nigeria to appoint desk officers on Ebola before resumption or that they should ensure that at least two staff in each school (public and private) are trained by appropriate health workers on how to handle any suspected case of Ebola, should in case there's one or workers should embark on immediate sensitization of teaching and non-teaching staff in schools on preventive measures", ALL STATE MINISTRIES OF EDUCATION and SCHOOLS (PUBLIC & PRIVATE) MUST be MANDATED and SUFFICENTLY EQUIPPED with ALL RESOURCES to ensure Ebola virus does not hit our children. In Nigeria, it's just schools that are closed. In some other African countries, communities are closed-in. Now is the time to speak up, so that never happens to us. In my opinion, there are still too many unanswered questions and too many checks to be put in place before schools can resume. Parents, let's preserve our lineage. Government, let's preserve the future of Nigeria. Together, let's preserve the lives of ALL Nigerian children. |
