This newspaper article was from 1979 under the Shagari administration.
It’s been 37 years now from that day. It’s only a shame that we are still at the same crossroads …. 37 years later! And still no light, no productivity, darkness is all over the land. 37 years later!

Each of the sureties is to provide N100 million bond and must own a landed property in Abuja.
On Friday, the bail conditions were met as the Chairman, South East Senate caucus and former Deputy Governor of Abia State, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, a Jewish High Priest, Immanuu-El Shalom Okabemadu and a Chartered Accountant residing in Abuja, Tochukwu Uchendu, were all present to stand as sureties.

Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has called on his Ndigbo kinsmen to stop wasting resources in developing other land. He asked them to return to the East and set up their businesses instead of helping other states like Lagos, Kano to grow.
Okorocha stated this while commissioning a hotel in Arondiziogu in Ideato council area of the state on Tuesday.
He said, “I commend the proprietor of this hotel for coming home to invest. He could have built this hotel in Abuja or other places knowing too well that he could have made more profit, but he chose to think home. Let’s all come home, develop our area and create jobs for our people.”
The governor further directed the ministry of Works to assess the cost of drainage and asphalting the road leading to the area.
According to him, “We don’t have to tell anybody to invest at home; anyone who has ear, let him hear. Why do we have to develop Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and other places? We should always think home.”
Una dey hear this yeye talk abi?
Yinka Odumakin, the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere on Wednesday said Nigerians didn’t elect President Muhammadu Buhari to work at home.
He was reacting to a statement by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed who told reporters that the President needed some rest and has asked that all the files on his table be brought to him at his official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja for treatment.
Odumakin, a former aide of Buhari, said if the president’s situation has gotten to a level where he will be working from home, it shows something is wrong which Nigerians are not told.
“We elected a president who will work from office not from home. If it gets to a situation where he will be working from home, then the interest of the country requires taking a hard look at the situation and taking the right decision. It shows something is wrong somewhere”.
A 19-year-old man, John Akwaji, who allegedly stole his neighbour’s N1,100, was on Wednesday released on N50,000 bail on the orders of a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The Magistrate, Mrs F.O. Ikobayo, who gave the ruling, also asked the accused person to produce one responsible surety in like sum as part of the bail condition.
She said the surety should also provide evidence of tax payment to the Lagos State Government Akwaji, whose address was not provided, is facing a two-count of unlawful entry and stealing.
Earlier, the prosecutor, ASP Richard Odigie told the court that the accused committed the offences on March 30 at Edomia Street, Oke-Ira Nla in Ajah area of Lagos.
He alleged that the accused unlawfully entered Mr Samson Popoola’s house at about 3.20 a.m. and stole N1,100.
“The accused is in the habit of entering the complainant’s room to steal but was caught when he came calling again. The complainant sighted him when woke up to go to the toilet, he raised alarm and the accused was apprehended, ” he said.
The offences contravened Sections 285 and 306 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised). Section 285 provides a three-year jail term for stealing, while Section 306 stipulates seven years imprisonment for unlawful entry.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge. The magistrate adjourned the case until May 5.
Three militants loyal to the Islamic State group (ISIS) have been killed by wild boars as they planned to ambush Iraqi tribesmen opposed to the group, according to a local anti-ISIS leader.
At least eight ISIS fighters had reportedly taken cover among dense reeds in Iraq’s al-Rashad region, about 55 miles southwest of Kirkuk, in preparation for a surprise attack on local anti-ISIS tribesman when a herd of wild boars attacked the jihadists on Sunday, killing three. The militants likely disturbed the notoriously short-tempered animals, said Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and head of the group of local tribesmen who took up arms after ISIS took control of the nearby town of Hawija.
“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields. The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in,” Assi told The Times.
The event was corroborated by local Kurdish fighters who have joined Iran-backed Shiite Muslim militias in attempting to oust ISIS from nearby Hawija. The jihadists’ mutilated bodies were reportedly discovered by refugees fleeing the violence that has beset the war-torn nation. An alliance consisting of Iraqi military, majority Shiite Muslim militias (called Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi), U.S.-led coalition forces and Kurdish units (known as peshmerga) are seeking to drive ISIS out of Iraq, according to Brigadier Azad Jelal, the deputy head of the Kurdish intelligence service in Kirkuk.
“Three fighters from ISIL were near the Peshmerga checkpoint in al-Rashad. They met some feral boars and the boars killed the three fighters,” Jelal told The Telegraph, using an alternative acronym for ISIS.
“Some refugees saw the bodies on the edge of a farm when they were fleeing and they told us. A few days later ISIL started to kill pigs around the area,” he added.
The news first appeared on the local Iraqi news site Al-Sumeria, which quoted unidentified local sources, and later gained attention on social media as officials confirmed the event. While fatalities caused by wild boars are relatively uncommon in the region, the animals are known for their relentless, ferocious attacks that can result in death, according to a 2006 article titled “Death by attack from a wild boar” published in the Journal of Forensic Medicine.
“The boar has a typical method of attack wherein it steadily rushes forward, pointing the tusks towards the animal to be attacked and inflicts the injuries. It goes back, takes position and attacks the victim again. This repeated nature of attack continues till the victim is completely incapacitated due to multiple penetrating injuries, which can have a fatal consequence,” the authors wrote.
Sunday’s incident reportedly came after ISIS massacred at least 25 local civilians attempting to escape areas under the jihadists’ control. As pro-government forces close in, ISIS’s territory, which is down to less than seven percent of the nation from 45 percent in 2014, has been largely reduced to the northwestern city of Mosul, where a months-long battle has been waged by the Iraqi military and its allies to defeat the jihadists. The militants still maintain small pockets of control in southern Kirkuk.
EMBATTLED Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since October 14, 2015, yesterday, secured bail from the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Trial Justice, Binta Nyako, granted Kanu bail on stringent conditions and refused to okay the release of three other pro-Biafra agitators- Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi- who are facing trial alongside the IPOB leader.
Court grants ‘iron bail’ to IPOB leader, Kanu ON APRIL 26, 20171:29 AMIN HEADLINES, NEWSCOMMENTS ABUJA— EMBATTLED Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since October 14, 2015, yesterday, secured bail from the Federal High Court in Abuja. Trial Justice, Binta Nyako, granted Kanu bail on stringent conditions and refused to okay the release of three other pro-Biafra agitators- Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi- who are facing trial alongside the IPOB leader. Nnamdi Kanu outside the court premises The bail conditions * Produce three sureties including a highly respected Jewish leader * Produce a highly placed Igbo person * Produce a respected person who resides and owns property in Abuja * Each surety must deposit N100million * Must not attend any rally or grant an interview * Must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons * To surrender his Nigerian and British passports * Must be available for trial at all times On a day that jubilations and mixed reactions trailed the bail, Kanu, however, could not meet the tough bail conditions and has returned to Kuje Prisons, Abuja. The Federal Government is prosecuting the defendants on a five-count criminal charge bordering on treasonable felony. Justice Binta Nyako said her decision to release Kanu, who is the 1st defendant before the court, on bail, was based on health grounds, citing an affidavit that was attached to the bail application Kanu filed through his lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor. Specifically, the court held that Kanu must produce three sureties, including a “highly respected and recognised Jewish leader.” Apart from a Jewish leader, Kanu must also produce a “highly placed person of Igbo extraction”, as well as “a highly respected person who is resident and owns landed property in Abuja.” Each of the sureties is to deposit N100 million. Justice Nyako had in the course of the ruling, asked Kanu to tell the court the religion he believes in, considering that one of the bail conditions would include his production of a highly placed religious leader. “My lord, I believe in Judaism”, Kanu replied from the dock. “Are you a Jew?”, the Judge queried. “Yes, I am a Jew”, Kanu maintained. “Good, in that case, one of the sureties must be a highly respected and recognised Jewish leader. I must be able to know him. Thank God I have been taught how to use Google”, Justice Nyako jokingly added. As part of his conditions for bail, Kanu, was expressly barred by the court from attending any rally or granting any form of interview. “I must stress it here that the defendant must not attend any rally. He must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons”, the Judge warned. Justice Nyako equally held that Kanu must sign an undertaking to make himself available for trial at all times. Kanu was ordered to surrender his Nigerian and British international passports, even as the court compelled the Federal Government to return to Kanu, his wedding ring and reading glasses. However, Kanu’s co-defendantss were denied bail by the court which described charges against them as “very serious.” Justice Nyako said the fact that she earlier struck out the terrorism charges slammed against the defendants did not water-down the seriousness of the treason charge against them. She held that Kanu’s co-defendants did not adduce fresh facts capable of persuading the court to release them on bail. Court okays shielding of witnesses’ identities In a separate ruling, Justice Nyako gave the Federal Government the nod to shield identities of all the witnesses billed to testify in the matter. She dismissed the applications that Kanu and the other defendants filed for a variation of an earlier ruling that permitted Federal Government to mask the witnesses. While re-affirming her earlier ruling, Justice Nyako held that the witnesses who are mostly security operatives would testify behind a screen or wear mask when the need arises. Pro-Biafra supporters jubilate Meanwhile, several pro-Biafra supporters went into jubilation after they heard that Kanu was admitted to bail. They sang, danced and engaged in a mini-procession, while chanting different Biafra war songs. Most of them waved the Biafran flag, others brandished various insignia from the defunct Republic, while a small group of men and women dressed in Jewish apparels kept muttering what seemed to be a prayer in the way believers in Judaism do. Fayose, Fani-Kayode defy DSS to enter courtroom Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was among dignitaries that stormed the court to show solidarity with the IPOB leader. Fayose, who wore an Igbo chieftaincy red cap, was temporarily denied entry into the court room, a similar measure that was also meted out to former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode. The action of the security operatives, who were from the Department of State Services, DSS, sparked off a mild drama, as it took the intervention of lawyers to ensure that the duo entered the courtroom. While Fayose stayed till the end of the proceeding, Fani-Kayode could not stay because his own trial was also coming up before Justice John Tsoho of the same high court. Fayose was in the court even before Kanu was brought in by officials of Kuje Prison. Immediately Kanu entered the courtroom, his lawyers drew his attention to Fayose’s presence. The IPOB leader took quick strides towards Fayose, who met him midway. Both men hugged themselves. Subsequently, Fayose left his seat and went over to where Kanu and his co-defendants sat; he sat beside Kanu and discussed with him for a while before the trial Judge entered. After the ruling, Fayose told newsmen that he came to court to show solidarity to Kanu, saying: “I love his spirit.” Also in court for the ruling was another erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka. Justice Nyako, however, fixed July 11 and 12 to commence trial, just as she stressed that she would not entertain any form of interlocutory application from any of the defendants. Kanu, who was hitherto the Director of Radio Biafra and Television, has spent a year and seven months in detention. He was arrested by security operatives upon his arrival to Nigeria from the United Kingdom. This was not the first time a court okayed his release on bail. Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the same high court had previously ordered the Federal Government to release the IPOB leader on bail. Justice Ademola was later arrested by DSS operatives and prosecuted on18-count charge that was subsequently quashed by an Abuja High Court at Maitama. Justice Nyako had in a ruling on March 1, struck out six of 11-count charge the Federal Government initially entered against Kanu and the others on the premise that they were not supported by the proof of evidence adduced before the court. The Judge held that none of the six charges established a prima-facie criminal case against any of the defendants. She said the fact that IPOB was not an organisation registered in Nigeria did not make it an illegal society. Kanu’s family rejects bail conditions, says no going back on Biafra agitation Immediately after the court ruling, the family of the IPOB leader rejected the bail conditions with the father, His Royal Highness, Eze Israel Kanu, and his wife, Ugoeze Sally Kanu, saying Kanu should be released unconditionally. Both parents and their daughter, Chinwe, faulted Justice Binta Nyako on the bail conditions. Speaking to reporters at Isiama Afaraukwu, Umuahia North Council, Eze Israel Kanu said while the family was happy over the bail granted their son, they rejected the bail conditions. According to the monarch, the bail conditions were like giving something with one hand and taking it with the other hand, saying that the IPOB leader must be set free without any condition attached. “The Federal Government should release my son unconditionally. The world should judge if the bail conditions are proper”, the monarch said. He explained that he was happy when he received the news that his son had been granted bail by the court but was taken aback by the conditions attached to the bail. Eze Kanu was not happy with Justice Nyako for asking the IPOB leader to produce a Jewish leader as surety and wondered why a court of competent jurisdiction would demand for a citizen of another country to come and stand as surety in Nigeria. Flanked by his wife, Ugoeze Sally and daughter Chinwe, the monarch also faulted other bail conditions given to his son, including that a Senator from the South East should provide a whopping N100 million bail bond. Corroborating her husband’s position, Kanu’s mother noted that if her son eventually returns home, she would advise him not to abandon the agitation for the restoration of Biafra, insisting that without Kanu’s activities, the world would not have known about the problem of Biafrans in Nigeria. “No retreat, no surrender; God will deliver Biafra as He delivered Israel,” she said. IPOB too.. Also yesterday, the IPOB picked holes in the bail conditions. IPOB, in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful said that its leader did not accept the bail conditions given to him, just as he dismissed the bail as unacceptable unless the other detained members of IPOB were also granted bail and with feasible bail conditions. IPOB said: “It is unacceptable to the entire members of IPOB worldwide that the presiding judge, Hon. Justice Binta Nyako attached conditions towards the release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The conditions are not feasible and possible. “The bail conditions are probably designed by politicians, who are afraid of our leader’s popularity. These are inhuman, non-feasible, childish and stringent for any reasonable person or group to accept, and we say no to that. While we say no to the bail conditions, IPOB worldwide commends those who put pressure on Nigerian Government and her judiciary to grant bail to our leader. “We salute people like the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose and well meaning sons and daughters of Biafra Land, who were in court to show solidarity with IPOB and its incarcerated leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We, however, say a big shame to South East Governors and politicians who because of their ignorance of what IPOB stands for, have refused to identify with us. “They and the government holding him are oppressors and are always afraid of our leader’s popularity. Their plan is to cage him through the childish, funny and unacceptable bail conditions they gave him in court. We are not excited, we demand the release of our members detained with him.” Jubiliation in Umuahia, Port-Harcourt In Imo State, yesterday, the ever busy MCC/Uratta Road and other communities in Imo State, were taken over by scores of IPOB loyalists, who were celebrating Nnamdi Kanu’s bail. The spontaneous jubilation, drew a large crowd of ardent supporters of the Biafran sovereignty in Imo. They carried various Biafran insignia, including flags, caps, shirts and banners, as they sang victory songs and danced happily on the streets. Some other jubilant loyalists in Owerri, were seen distributing free drinks in some of the joints Vanguard visited before going to press. One of the demonstrators, Chike, who spoke to Vanguard as they celebrated, said: “We are celebrating the release of one of our own, who has been incarcerated for several months. I am only praying that the bail granted him this time, won’t be treated like the previous ones, especially as the present Federal Government hates the rule of law with passion.” Speaking also, a woman who simply identified herself as Mrs. Sylvia said they were not particularly concerned with the bail conditions, even as she described them as “stringent and draconian.” “I am a mother. I know how it feels to have a loved one locked up endlessly by traducers. I do not know why the High Court Judge does not want Nnamdi Kanu to be seen among more than 10 persons or talk to the press about his experience in captivity”, Mrs. Sylvia said. In Port-Harcourt, hundreds of pro Biafrans shutdown the Obigbo end of Port Harcourt-Aba Road as they celebrated news of the bail granted Nnamdi Kanu. Passengers heading to Aba in Abia State on that road were stranded as most of them had to come down from their vehicles, trekking some distance to board vehicles that had already passed the huge traffic snarl created by the jubilant pro Biafrans. It was also a tough time for police men from the Obigbo Police station drafted to control the traffic. Meantime, the pro Biafrans danced,singing solidarity songs. Some who spoke to Vanguard expressed hope that the concept of a Biafra nation would come to be. Bail conditions too stringent —Ikedife, Amechi Also reacting to the bail conditions, former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife and First Republic Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, described the conditions as too stringent and wondered how the court expected Kanu to meet those conditions. Ikedife said: “It is good that they have granted him bail. This is what I have been demanding for a long time. The next thing we expect them to do is to dispose of the charges brought against him one way or the other. They detained him for a long time and the question is, are they going to compensate him for long incarceration? He ought to have been released a long time ago, but those who kept him in detention did so for reasons only they can explain. Besides, the bail conditions are stringent. Is Kanu going to get all these people to surety him? Where will he find the three people listed as those to surety him?’’ Also speaking to Vanguard, Chief Amechi said: “Granting bail to Nnamdi Kanu was long overdue. He is a prisoner of conscience and they incarcerated him this long because he is an Igbo man. The conditions given him to meet are very unkind. He should have been granted bail unconditionally. And how do they expect him to get people with the kind of money mentioned to surety him?” Ohanaeze, Eastern Consultative Assembly reject bail conditions Similarly, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, rejected the bail conditions, which they said are not implementable. President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and former Minister of Information, Chief Nnia Nwodo and the Deputy Leader of the ECA, Chief Marie Okwo spoke during separate telephone interviews with Vanguard in Enugu. Nwodo said the conditions attached to the bail were superfluous and cannot be implemented, pointing out that it was unconstitutional to ask Kanu not to make speeches, grant interviews or stay in a crowd exceeding 10 persons as conditions for his bail. He said: “We welcome the bail given to him but we reject the conditions attached to his bail. The court cannot in the process of granting him bail deny him his basic rights of speech and association. The conditions are superfluous. No court can ask anybody not to express his views or opinions or not to associate with people. Freedom of speech and association are guaranteed in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and you cannot ask a man not to exercise such rights especially when they do not have criminal undertones. The whole thing is superfluous.” We are happy but— MASSOB The Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, in its reaction, said its members are joyful but that other pro-Biafra detainees in various places in Nigeria should also be released. Leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu said: “Thousands of MASSOB members are in jubilant celebration over the bail granted to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB. We always identify with true representatives of Biafra and genuine struggle for the liberation of the people of Biafra. The bail granted to our brother today is a sign of light triumphing over darkness. It is a motivational factor that Biafra will always triumph.’’ Speaking, MASSOB National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, said: “killing cannot stop us from pursuing the independent state of Biafra. MASSOB is rejoicing with IPOB and all Biafrans over the bail granted Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal High court Abuja. It is a very good development. “We commend the judge for the bold step she took in delivering the judgement. An Igbo adage says that truth must definitely prevail. Nigeria cannot hide the truth forever..” Okorie, Ukoh, IPAC react National Chairman of the United Progressive Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie, while reacting to Kanu’s bail said it was a welcome development. ‘’The UPP received with joy the news that the Federal High Court at Abuja has admitted to bail Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We welcome this development, although we would have preferred an unconditional bail, which is what he has always deserved. The courts have always granted bail to Nnamdi Kanu but the Nigerian Government, the accuser and plaintiff always denied him freedom to the utter embarrassment of the civilised world. ‘’We urge the government to save Nigerians further anxiety by releasing him from detention without further delay. ‘We further urge the government to take steps to drop all charges against Nnamdi Kanu and other prisoners of conscience. This will reduce avoidable tension in the polity. This is the path of wisdom. Nigeria will be better for it,’’ he said Chairman of South East caucus of Interparty Advisory Council, IPAC, Prince Emeka Okafor, while welcoming the bail, rejected the conditions attached to it, saying it amounts to denying Kanu his fundamental rights. He frowned at the bail conditions given by the Judge, saying that the Judge has deliberately denied him some of his fundamental human rights. SERG hails judiciary, urges FG to obey order The South East Revival Group, SERG, described the bail granted Nnamdi Kanu as yet another victory for the judiciary, saying “it proves that some Judges still have conscience and a sense of justice.” The group in a statement signed by its Convener and national coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu urged the Federal Government to obey its own court order this time around. “Despite that his bail conditions were too stringent, we commend the judiciary for proving its independence by not standing justice on the head by refusing Nnamdi Kanu bail. We hope that this time around, the Federal Government would obey the order of the court and allow the judicial process to be completed.’’

For years the world economy has functioned on the premise: To get ahead you have to step on those around you. You are on your own, struggling to keep your head above water. This is what this gross misinformation with which we had been raised has led us to, to misery, uncaring and wanting. Secret Societies protect their members, protect what is there and precious to them through secrecy, because if the rest find out, these sacred things including the truth will also be destroyed. we are here to protect you if you so desire!

Dear Friend and Seeker of the Classical African tradition,
You live in a world shaped by women and men who sought
greatness beyond the limitations of their own minds. It was their
destiny to become more than merely human to become true
masters over the winds of their lives. you need to know some
secret things about this world we are living.
Haragon Brotherhood is not for everyone, but if it is for you, we
welcome you. We are not a fan club, a pen-pal society, or a lonely
hearts group. We are a group of dynamic individuals who stand forth as the ultimate underground alternative—the Alien Elite. We realize what we have, what we are, and what we shall become. Our
scope is unlimited , and the extent of your involvement is based upon your own potential. All names and addresses are held in strict confidence and you are under no obligation as a Registered Member, unless you choose to present yourself for further consideration.
registration into Haragon Brotherhood is free, no fee is
required. join this occult if you have the mind to do it remember
that poverty is like marriage without SEX.
The Haragon Brotherhood is about more than just wealth and power, as anyone who observes the often tragic lives of the rich and famous can attest to.
Without true wisdom and inner power, the outer trappings of
success are all in vain, for spirit is ascendant over matter. That which is eternal is of far greater value than that which turns to dust. The Haragon Brotherhood’s teachings are not aimed merely towards self- aggrandizement but for the greater happiness of the Member and so that they, in turn, may bless and help others upon the path of life.
With that said, let us say that anyone, having the right knowledge,
inner power and a circle of powerful friends, with grit and determination can attain to success and prosperity.
The rich rewards of fortune and success are never obtained
overnight. It takes time to be mentored and to learn the secret
knowledge, to build a “millionaire mind-set,” to work one’s way
through the ranks and to prove one’s loyalty and devotion to the
Brotherhood.
Advancement in the Brotherhood’s degrees of wisdom and power can, however, translate into a virtual guarantee of lifetime security because you are building a power within yourself that can never be
taken away. Success is not handed to anyone on a silver platter
and only you can guarantee your future happiness.
Why not start today building that happiness, prosperity, inner power and peace by joining The Haragon Brotherhood?
Being wealthy,powerful,great,protected,lovable,famous is not a decision that you wait for someone to make for you but something you decide by yourself with mind made up to live above poverty and intimidation. HARAGON BROTHERHOOD is here to deliver that happiness to you, call us today and be happy forever on +2348085100629 or email us on haragonbrotherhood@gmail.com.
President Muhamadu Buhari yesterday sent out his Easter greetings and well wishes to Nigerian citizens. Wishing them a peaceful Easter celebration.
But one item that struck me amidst his speech was at the point where he said that the Nigerian government under his administration has met the overall expectations of Nigerians in his two years of presidential tenure.
Well I don’t know how he managed to come with such information and or who gave him the speech he read out to the nation. But as it’s my usual style, I don’t want to go into dissecting the words of the president so I’ll just operate as a layman.
Mr President Muhamadu Buhari, where did you got the notion that Nigerians are happy with you administration Or which Nigeria are you talking about that you have met their expectations? Hope it’s not this same Nigeria that you and I are currently in sha. Or maybe it’s the Nigerien republic you were trying to say sir.
Because I’m already starting to feel headache o.
#AyoAdeyemiSpeaks
It’s obvious Buhari was once again absent from FEC meeting yesterday cuz of his health issue & yet Lai Mohammed brazenly threw a lie in our place that the president is hail and hearty like that’s supposed to comfort us? Or agitate us? Which is more cheaper to do; to tell the truth or to tell a lie? The government try to subdue us by telling lies, and common sense will tell us, that the power which has endeavoured to subdue us, is of all others the most improper to defend us.
…………….
Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.

Please note this alert and forward this to all your loved ones:FG Advises on Meningitis. As the new strain of Cerebrospinal Menigitis (CSM), Neisseria Meningitides type C continues to spread in epidemic proportion for the first time in Nigeria, federal government has issued a public advisory urging key prevention mechanisms.
Among the prevention mechanisms advised by Health Minister, Prof Adewole are: • Avoidance of overcrowding • Sleeping in well ventilated places • Avoidance of close and prolonged contact with a case/s • Proper disposal of respiratory and throat secretions • Strict observance of hand hygiene and sneezing into Elbow joint/sleeves • Reduce hand shaking, kissing, sharing utensils or medical interventions such as mouth resuscitation • Vaccination with relevant sero-type of the meningococcal vaccine and • Self-medication should be avoided.
According to the Minister, the country is currently experiencing an outbreak of Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) that has spread across the country and mostly affecting States in the upper parts of the country which fall within the African Meningitis Belt. Other Countries that are facing similar outbreaks at the moment include our West-African Neighbours like Niger, Chad, Cameroun, Togo, and Burkina Faso. The larger African Meningitis Belt consists of 26 Countries that stretch from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea Bissau in the west coast to eastern countries of Eritrea and Ethiopia
He noted that this is not the first time or the worst Epidemic ever faced by Nigeria but this round of the epidemic has come with a difference, as all previous epidemics were caused by Neisseria Meningitides type ‘A’ but this year we are recording Neisseria Meningitides type C in epidemic proportion for the first time.
In the past, the worst CSM epidemics experienced in Nigeria occurred in 1996 when about 109,580 cases and 11,717 deaths were recorded, followed by the one in 2003 (4,130 cases and 401 deaths) then in 2008 (9,086 cases and 562 deaths) and in 2009, when 9086 cases and 562 deaths were recorded.
Following the successive outbreaks, the World Health Organisation(WHO) institutued the mass vaccination campaign using a new conjugate vaccine the MenAfriVac-A in about 16 out of the 26 Vulnerable countries (including Nigeria). It resulted in a reduction of over 94% incidence of the disease in most countries, thus significantly reducing the risk of type A.
Some key lessons learnt from the MenAfriVac-A mass vaccination campaign and the recent happenings across the sub-region, are that, although type A was successfully displaced, other strains which were hitherto less significant can actually assume epidemic proportions.
Thus Efforts must continue towards preventing a rebound of the type-A and also preventing a potential replacement by all other strains, said the Minister. Current Situation in Nigeria As at Friday, March 31, Ninety (90) Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Sixteen (16) States of the Federation are so far affected including Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Nassarawa, Jigawa, FCT, Gombe, Taraba , Yobe, Kano, Osun, Cross Rivers, Lagos and Plateau have been affected by the new strain of CSM.
A total number of 2524 people have been reportedly affected while death toll has risen to 328 Deaths. So far, a total 131 samples have been confirmed in the Laboratory, out of which a majority are Neisseria Meningitides type C. This current outbreak started in Zamfara State in the 50th week of 2016 (i.e. November 2016) Actions so far taken: Control team constituted to coordinate all responses aimed at controlling the outbreak. Membership include FMOH, NCDC, NPHCDA, WHO and other partners (MSF, UNICEF, CDC and EHealth Africa):
Coordination meetings hold regularly; All initial five States have commenced Emergency Operation Center EOC/EPR meeting; Mapping of resources at State level to identify ongoing activities. Case Management and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC): • Functional Isolation centers/units have been identified in all States and efforts are on to strengthen them. • Antibiotics and management supplies available and being used as per protocol in all States for treatment • Number of cases currently on admission or treated since the onset of the outbreak are being collated across LGAs and States. • Micro plan concluded in Zamfara for possible vaccination in week 14 Surveillance: • Active case searches in the affected LGAs and register review ongoing • Outbreak/rumour investigations ongoing • Clinician sensitization and training proposed in selected area • CSM guidelines including Laboratory protocol under review. Laboratory: • Lumber puncture kits provided by WHO with plans for additional local sourcing. • Pastorex used for testing CSF samples in the field (total of 131 cases positive) in all States • Public health in Lagos State supporting with culture of positive samples from states. • MSF facilitating sample analysis in Oslo by PCR • Some PCR/Culture results are pending Communication and Social Mobilization: • Community health education is ongoing as part of State team responses with support from UNICEF • Most States (especially Katsina and Zamfara) are doing radio jingles with support from UNICEF • IEC materials are being developed by NCDC, NPHCDA and UNICEF Challenges: • Low CSF collection rates (CSF sample versus reported cases) • Weak logistics for sample transportation for prompt laboratory diagnosis • Weak coordination between SMOH surveillance officers and treatment Centres, and delayed reporting of suspected cases to National level. • Weak/non-functional EPR committees in some States and LGA levels • Low availability of supplies (Ceftriaxone, Lumber Puncture Kits, TI media etc.) at the national level Next Steps: • Update CSM surveillance and management data base especially for States with scanty epidemiologicaldata • Dissemination of targeted IEC materials to frontline health care workers in all States • Redistribution of the treatment Antibiotic from non-active to actively reporting states to enhance case management • Reactivate EPR committees at State and LGA levels in all States • Support Katsina and Sokoto on preparation of ICG request • Conduct detailed investigation on cases of Men-A in Zamfara and Katsina States • Preparation for 2017/2018 CSM season to commence by October 2017. Very Important consideration shall be given to a Vaccine with wider spectrum of Antigens • Arrange for cross border surveillance locally in Nigeria and internationally with Republic of Niger and Benin Early Diagnosis, Treatment and Isolation: • Very important that all individuals should acquaint themselves with at least the basic knowledge/understanding of CSM and how it is transmitted and prevented • Strictly adhere to the advice of Health workers on how to protect oneself as enumerated above • Prompt seeking for medical/health care as soon as CSM or CSM-Like Illness is suspected • All Hospitals to ensure that appropriate Diagnoses are made including laboratory confirmation and immediate reporting through the surveillance system • Commence early treatment as soon as the diagnoses of CSM is made • Restrict mingling with other people once one is diagnosed as a case of CSM • All Secondary and Tertiary Public Health Facilities should provide free treatment to all CSM Patients
The Federal Ministry of Health has allayed fears among Nigerians saying, “the public should remain calm as the disease Cebro-spinal Meningitis (CSM) is both preventable and curable”.
It however alerted that the cumulative number of people and locations affected may continue to increase but the actual rate of increase has begun to decline in some states indicating that the end of the epidemic is in sight. Public health facilities have been directed to provide free treatment for all Cases of Cerebrospinal Meningitis.
It said more doses of the CSM vaccines are currently being expected in the country to be deployed to all affected states while available vials are being deployed to Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina and FCT.
“Dad, can you loan me Five Hundred Thousand Naira?” Kola asked his father.
“What for son?”His father asked.”For my wedding.
By our calculations, we’re falling short meeting the cost”
Kola had come to meet his parents with his fiancé.
“Your wedding? How much is the total cost of the wedding?” His father asked.
“3.6 million. We’re thinking of starting the committee next week. We can together give about eight hundred thousand and expect our friends to help us raise about two million. I remember you told me if ever I need help I can come to you” Kola answered.
His father held him by the shoulder and said “Go get your wife and come meet me at my study room”
“Yes dad” Kola obliged.
Minutes later, Kola and his fiancé,Tomilayo walked into his father’s study room.
“Having a good time my daughter?” Kola’s father asked.
“Yes I am. You and your wife are so hospitable. I pray that Kola and I can emulate your marriage. You are an admirable couple” answered Kola’s fiance.
“Thank you. I am delighted to have you as my daughter. This is your home, you’re welcome anytime” said father.
They sat down.
“Thank you dad”
“So, I hear you want to spend 3.6 million for your wedding and you need me to help with four hundred thousand?” Asked father.
“Yes, we will greatly appreciate” said the fiancé.
“The wedding will be at the Total Garden Ibadan in about six months time” said Kola.
“Why do you want to have a big wedding?” father asked.
“Well, it’s our big day. She’s always dreamt of a big wedding” Kola replied.
“Have you dreamt of a big wedding or a strong marriage?” The father asked the fiancé.
“When you put it that way, it’s more of a strong marriage” said the fiancé.
“Good. You’ve answered wisely. So who do you expect to come for your wedding?” Asked the Father.
“Friends and relatives. About seven hundred people” answered Kola.
“How many true friends do you really have? I mean friends who have been tried and tested to be there for you through thick and thin?” Asked the father.
Kola and Tomilayo looked at each other.”Countable” The fiancé answered.
“So who are these other people who will come to your wedding?” Asked the father.
Silence.
“OK. Let’s go to the relatives. I know you love your relatives, but how many are really close to you? You barely talk with the many relatives you have” said the father.
“What are you trying to say dad?” asked Kola.
“My son, my daughter; why do you want to spend 3.6 million on a wedding, a one day event yet you need the money in your marriage? Look, you are actually coming to ask me for money, you will form a committee to ask people for money; all to show off and please people who will not even matter in your marriage”
Silence.
The father continued, “Let me share with you my experience. When I married your mother, we spent about a million for the wedding. That was a lot of money then. We fed people, got stressed by service providers, just so that we put up a wedding that will win the applause of a crowd. But as soon as we got married, the crowd disappeared. All the issues that your mother and I went through, no one cared, even family couldn’t do much. Every one is busy living their life. When things got tough, the crowd gossiped about us, some even seemed happy that our marriage was in trouble”
Silence.
“I have seen this script repeated over and over. Brides get stressed on their wedding day, they can’t even enjoy, couples being angry at friends who don’t support them financially, the worst part is starting marriage in debt or struggling financially. Do you know a wedding doesn’t have to cost so much, it doesn’t have to be stressful, it doesn’t have to be full of people who perhaps will never talk to you again?” added the father.
“But dad, what will people think if we do a small wedding or we don’t invite them?” Asked the fiancé.
“Are you getting married for people? If you have a small wedding with only the witnesses who matter, will you two not be married? What is all this competition of who has a grand wedding for?People are competing on Facebook, in weddings; why this need to show off? You know that money you are about to blow in one day, you can use it to invest in your marriage, you can start the process of buying or building a home, you can save up for the needs of the children you will have because you need money to raise a family. Why not start your marriage financially healthy and not in debt? Marriage is what is more important than a wedding” continued the father.
“Dad, if you don’t want to support us it’s OK” said Kola.
The fiancé stopped him saying, “No my love, dad has a point. I actually find the idea of a small wedding not just wise and economical, but also intimate. Marriage is just you and me, not people”
The father spoke, “My son, in all the years you have been a man, you have never come to me asking for money, but now you are asking for money to put up a show? I look further, I look at your marriage. I admire how people come together in a wedding committee to raise money and I wonder, what if couples and people use that same energy to put up a business that will uplift families. Those members who will be part of your wedding committee, imagine if they become your investors, imagine if you build a company where you can make profit and feed your homes. Something sustainable.”
Kola and his fiancé nodded.
“My son, I have longed for the day you would come and ask me to invest in your business idea. But today I will make the first move” the father said taking his cheque book from his drawer.
He wrote on the cheque then gave it to the fiancé.
“Here my son, this is a cheque of five million naira, not for your wedding but as start up capital for a business of your choice. I am giving the cheque to your wife because as it is rightly said about woman,She is to walk with you in building an empire for your family. Focus on your family, give your family the best; forget about the public and opinions of people who don’t matter. Build a future for your family. Build your family on a foundation of surplus not debt”
“Thank you so much” said the fiancé.
Kola stood up with tears in his eyes.His father stood up too.
The father and son hugged.
“Thank you dad for being a great figure and your counsel. I don’t know what to say. You have challenged me not to merely get married but to have a vision, a vision for my family. I don’t know what to say” he spoke.
The father held his shoulder, “You will make a great husband and father. I wish I had the same counsel when I was getting married, all those people I fed on my wedding day didn’t add value to my marriage. In fact, if I was to organize an event and feed multitudes, I would do so for the less fortunate and those in need. Marriage is not for show.
“Dad, can you loan me Five Hundred Thousand Naira?” Kola asked his father.
“What for son?”His father asked.”For my wedding.
By our calculations, we’re falling short meeting the cost”
Kola had come to meet his parents with his fiancé.
“Your wedding? How much is the total cost of the wedding?” His father asked.

The father spoke, “My son, in all the years you have been a man, you have never come to me asking for money, but now you are asking for money to put up a show? I look further, I look at your marriage. I admire how people come together in a wedding committee to raise money and I wonder, what if couples and people use that same energy to put up a business that will uplift families. Those members who will be part of your wedding committee, imagine if they become your investors, imagine if you build a company where you can make profit and feed your homes. Something sustainable.”
Kola and his fiancé nodded.
“My son, I have longed for the day you would come and ask me to invest in your business idea. But today I will make the first move” the father said taking his cheque book from his drawer.
He wrote on the cheque then gave it to the fiancé.
“Here my son, this is a cheque of five million naira, not for your wedding but as start up capital for a business of your choice. I am giving the cheque to your wife because as it is rightly said about woman,She is to walk with you in building an empire for your family. Focus on your family, give your family the best; forget about the public and opinions of people who don’t matter. Build a future for your family. Build your family on a foundation of surplus not debt”
“Thank you so much” said the fiancé.
Kola stood up with tears in his eyes.His father stood up too.
The father and son hugged.
“Thank you dad for being a great figure and your counsel. I don’t know what to say. You have challenged me not to merely get married but to have a vision, a vision for my family. I don’t know what to say” he spoke.
The father held his shoulder, “You will make a great husband and father. I wish I had the same counsel when I was getting married, all those people I fed on my wedding day didn’t add value to my marriage. In fact, if I was to organize an event and feed multitudes, I would do so for the less fortunate and those in need. Marriage is not for show.
