”Northern Nigeria is the most backward region in the world” – Nuhu Ribadu says

Former EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, has described Northern Nigeria region as the most backward region in the world.

Ribadu made the description while speaking at the launch of two books titled “Sect and social disorder” and “Quaranic Schools in Northern Nigeria” in Abuja yesterday, August 15th.

Ribadu said the Almajiri system of education being practiced in the North is the worst form of dehumanization.

“I am from Yola, we have similar culture with Kaduna, Kano but we don’t have Almajiri, what is happening? We are also Muslims. There are lots of areas where we have similar things. Which education are we talking about, these are some things that are incredible and you don’t know where to start. There is nothing worse, in the form of violation and abuse of rights, more than the Almajiri system, yet people are justifying it, comfortably calling themselves as products of it. I think we have to look at it crucially otherwise we will continue to go that direction that we will not be able to solve her problems.


“We are the most backward people in this world, the society of northern Nigeria. Look at all the indices in the world today, we are the worst. Why? How can we continue to deny ourselves our future? I worked on many of those crises and conflicts as a member of the investigation team and tribunal, I was in Zango Kataf, I was in Tafawa Balewa, I was in Kaduna religious crisis, I was among the prosecutors of El-Zakzaky in the 1990s.

“During the Kaduna religious disturbance of 2000, we visited where they buried the victims along Birnin Gwari road, they opened the graves for us, what I saw is still haunting me. There were bodies, all of them young boys, no girls that is talking about Almajiri – boys over 100 buried in mass graves and no identity, not a single one of them had a name and they were all buried, I got interested in this.

“I said let me see and get it touch with those who are responsible for it. They were victims of the crisis that took place in Kaduna because of the Sharia riots. They said they did not have their identity or Mallam responsible for them. Did anyone come to complain that they have lost a child? They said no. I was also in interpol, I had a duty to do outside Nigeria. I flew British Airways. Few days after that and the governor who introduced Sharia to Nigeria had his kids there and they all went to the first class. It was terrible for me. I could not say anything throughout the flight. The sight of those young boys, buried, unidentified – nobody is talking about it, the families never even complained, not even their so-called mallams.” Ribadu said

Financial expert, Bismarck Rewane faults report ranking Lagos third worst City to live in

Renowned financial expert, Mr. Bismarck Rewane has faulted a report rating Lagos as third worst city to live in the world.

A report issued on Tuesday by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) had cited security, education and healthcare delivery as benchmarks for its ratings.

But speaking on a Television programme, ‘Network Africa’ on Channels TV monitored by our correspondent, Rewane, who is the Chief Executive Officer, Financial Derivatives Company, described the report as subjective adding that the criteria used in reaching such conclusion was inconsistent.

He said: “First and foremost, I think the report is subjective and it is based on warped criteria. Certainly, in a survey that says that number 86 is Johannesburg when you talk about crime, terrorism, insurgency and Lagos is number 138 out of 140, it’s unfortunate.

“I feel safer in Lagos than in Johannesburg in terms of crime. I cannot stop at a traffic light in Johannesburg without looking over my shoulder, in Lagos I could probably do that.”

EIU had ranked cities like Vienna, Melbourne, Osaka, Tokyo as the ten most-liveable cities, and ranked cities such as Damascus, Dakar, Karachi and Lagos as the 10 least liveable cities in 2018.

While stating that he was not in any way making excuses for Lagos, Rewane said that the survey itself was based on certain values which may not be universal.

He explained: “But having said that, to say that the risk of insurgency in Lagos – because I heard the interview and the guys talked about Boko Haram – quite frankly there is no Boko Haram existential threat in Lagos as anywhere.

“Lagos is safer from Boko Haram than say Yaoundé in Cameroon. So, I find it difficult to understand the criteria. Yes, there are other criteria but obviously to rank Lagos as the third worst city to live in in the world is a bit above the top.”

Rewane however said that Lagos still had a lot to do on terms of improving access in two critical sectors- healthcare and education.

“Lagos falls short definitely in access to healthcare because you can’t have a medical emergency in Nigeria and in Lagos in particular. Lagos falls short in terms of education, but having said that, we have a population in Lagos of anything between 12 to 20 million people. Things are improving but the message that paints to us is that Nigeria has to wake up and has to work hard. Whether you like it or not Nigeria is the 5th most populous country in the world. And Lagos is rising among the ranks of cities in terms of population.

“So, urban transit, urban renewal and things like that which Governor (Akinwunmi) Ambode is working on assiduously, it’s good enough to work hard on it but you must achieve the results that people want. Because other people are looking at us and ranking us.”

He also stated that “having said that, I must come out strongly that the EIU criteria is a bit subjective and does not reflect the truth. Lagos is definitely not the third worst city to live in in the world. I stand by that and I am ready to join issues with the Economic Intelligence Unit whom I respect anyway, for their economic analysis. But in this case, I join issues with them.”

Despite his take on the EIU rating, Rewane said there are rooms for improvement in Lagos, which is currently adjudged as the fastest growing and the fifth largest economy in Africa.

“Lagos is not the most luxurious or affluent city to live in. And there are many Lagos. There are people living in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lekki. And there are people who are living in the slums of Makoko and others. But this is not…, look if I go to Rio de Janeiro, if I go to Sao Paulo, even in London, there are slums. So, the truth is that the slum of Lagos is not as bad as it used to be. But when you compare it to other cities in the world, I would not say that Lagos is worse than Jakarta when you talk about the slums in Indonesia. I cannot say that Lagos slums are worse than those of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. But that does not mean that this justifies the slums.

“This is not a race to the bottom. But the point is that Lagos has a lot of work to do in terms of urban renewal, urban mass transit, waste management and so many other things. Crime, kidnapping and ransom, but if you look at crime in Lagos, I do not subscribe to the view that crime in Lagos is worse than crime in any of these crime cities.

More people – maybe the data is not available- more people die in the city of Chicago from gunshots than you can put in Lagos 10 times over.” (PM News)

Woman denied job from company because she has a ‘ghetto’ name

Woman denied job

A St. Louis area woman’s Facebook post has gone viral after she revealed that she was denied a job with a local company because of her “ghetto” name.

Hermeisha Robinson took to her page on Monday to share how she applied for a customer service representative position with Mantality Health in Chesterfield.

However, Jack Gamache, from Mantality Health, said their system was not hacked but their Indeed, a job posting website, account was hacked.

Mantality Health CEO Kevin Meuret says they think about 20 people got emails similar to Robinson’s. “This is not a reflection of who we are as a company,” said Meuret. “This is deplorable.”

Meuret says the person that appears to have sent the email does work for the company but, “has nothing to do with hiring and is a great employee.

Lady scalds stepson with hot water following brawl with his mother

A lady has reportedly been arrested for scalding her stepson with hot water following a fight she had with the baby’s mother.

The incident occurred yesterday in Gantsa, Jigawa State – it was gathered that the suspect had engaged in a fight with the victim’s mom and to get back at her, she aimed at her son.

According to one Rilwanu Labashu Yayari, an eyewitness, the boy has since been taken to a hospital in the area, while the suspect is currently having her time inside police custody.

This news comes not more than a day after we reported of a plus-sized lady who was scalded with acid by her young ex-lover because they couldn’t be together maritally.

It was gathered that the woman had been formerly married, but broke up with her spouse, before falling in love with the said ex-lover.

Reports have it that because the said young man is actually younger than Nkiru, his family insisted they put an end to the relationship as their son would never marry an older woman. The lady’s family also concurred, but the young man wouldn’t give up, it was said. Read full story here

“You will have to carry me like a dead man” – Nigerian man says, before he died during deportation from Canada

Bolanle Alo, the Nigerian man who died after an altercation with Canada border services officers last week, promised he wouldn’t go quietly if ordered out of the country, his detention hearing documents show.

The 49-year-old father of two died in Calgary on Aug. 7 after an altercation with Canada Border Services Agency officers while on a KLM airlines plane bound for Amsterdam. He was set to be deported to Nigeria.

The plane hadn’t yet departed Calgary’s airport when Alo went into medical distress; he was pronounced dead at Peter Lougheed hospital about 90 minutes later.

“You will have to carry me like a dead man, because I’m not going to my death,” Alo is quoted as saying in evidentiary documents submitted by Wingert, the legal counsel representing minister of public safety and emergency preparedness Ralph Goodale on July 26 at Alo’s first detention hearing.

By that point, Alo had been detained for 48 hours. This was his first detention hearing, administered by the immigration division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.

No charges expected in death of foreign national following altercation with border services on plane

Wingert drew attention to two statements in the documents she submitted for Alo’s July 26 hearing. The first:

“On that day (of deportation), I will be the dog on a leash, and you will have to drag me through fire. I am a dead man. I have nothing to lose.” The second: “I understand that you have concerns that I will cause an issue that will disrupt my removal. You are absolutely correct about this. I will cause a big issue and will not go.”

The July 26 transcript, obtained by the Toronto Star, details how Alo first began immigration procedures in October 2005.

According to Immigration and Refugee Board member Jerry Cikes, who was overseeing the detention hearing, the Nigerian’s refugee claim was rejected. After that, both of Alo’s applications to remain in Canada based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds were rejected, as was his pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA).

According to the Government of Canada website, a PRRA is “an opportunity for people who are facing removal from Canada to seek protection by describing, in writing, the risks they believe they would face if removed. Persons whose PRRA applications are approved may stay in Canada.”

Some of Alo’s testimony in the transcripts provides a glimpse into his fear of returning to Nigeria.

During his regularly attended meetings with CBSA officials, Alo says, “I (am) always insisting that going to Nigeria would be a very dangerous trip for me … I still have some bullets in my body that are yet to be extracted.”

Alo also alludes to his younger brother, who he says “wasn’t that lucky.” The Calgary-based lawyer representing Alo’s widow, Elias Munshya, said he wasn’t clear on the specifics of why Alo feared a return to his home country.

But Munshya said he was led to believe that the Nigerian’s younger brother had been killed, which may have caused him to fear for his own life.

Late Monday night, a Prairie region spokesperson for the CBSA said the agency can’t respond to specific questions about Alo’s case because the Calgary Police Service is investigating.

Police spokesman Corwin Odland said there are few details the service can share.

“We are still working to track down and interview witnesses from the flight and don’t want any information we release to influence their recollection of events before we can get their statements,” Odland said in an emailed statement.

Alberta’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to determine Alo’s cause of death, he said.

A spokesman at the office of Ralph Goodale, public safety and emergency preparedness minister, said staff there are working on legislation to create a new way to review CBSA officer conduct complaints and conditions.

“Complaints about employee conduct can be made to the agency itself, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal,” spokesman Scott Bardsley said.

Tambuwal stated this while addressing different associations of students and youths as well as resident communities who paid him a solidarity visit yesterday August 15th.

“I have been receiving advices and encouragement from our leaders, peoples across the country and even from abroad to contest for presidency and this pressure is being mounting It Is not my making but the quantum of pressure from every where because of leadership gap in the country.” he said

He said he would make his position public on the matter “in days to come”.

Man spends 2 years in prison after he rushed his neighbor to the hospital

Chidiebere Onwumere has regained his freedom 24 months after he was wrongly imprisoned for allegedly causing the death of one Uzochi Chinyere, his neighbor who he rushed to the hospital, following a drug overdose in Abia State.

In a recent interview with AFN, on Tuesday, while recounting the whole ordeal, he said in quote,

“I got home that day, around 6pm, only to see my neighbour lying helpless and I decided to assist her to the hospital with the help of other neighbors.

A pastor who resides within the neighborhood, took us with his car to a nearby hospital called Shiloh hospital, where the doctor asked us to deposit N5000 to conduct a test that would determine exactly what was wrong with her.

I and some other neighbours contributed the money. When the result came out, the doctor told us that she was on substance overdose and was knocked out by the illegal substance. He assured us that she would be well again.

However, the next morning, Mr Promise, the deceased’s elder brother, arrived the hospital and insisted on taking her away to another hospital against the doctor’s advice.

After a few days, he came back to our compound and took me to World Bank police station, Aba, where he handed me over to the police, claiming that I beat his sister to death.

Despite pleas that my hands were clean and that there was a doctor’s report stating that their sister died of substance abuse, Promise insisted and filed a murder charge against me.

I was arraigned on suit no. U/520c/2016 and remanded in prison custody since June 2016. It was one Barrister Jerry Uzosike that God used to vindicate and bring me out of prison.”

“I thought she was 15” – Reverend Father accused of raping11-year-old girl

A Reverend father who has been accused of raping an 11 year old girl, has blamed the devil for his distasteful action as he also revealed that he thought his victim was older.

The Italian priest accused of raping the 11-year-old girl in a car said that he thought she was a 15 year old – Father Paolo Glaentzer, a septuagenarian, was arrested in July for allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl in a car.

The court did not jail the priest, but he is currently being held on house arrest in Italy as an investigation continues.

Father Glaentzer told an Italian newspaper that he is very sorry for his actions and added that the devil tripped him into abusing the girl.

Glaentzer said that the encounter was “an exchange of affection” that got out of control, and added that the victim looked “much more mature than she was”, he said in quote,

“I found out she was 11 years old…I thought she was at least 15,”

According to the interviewer, the priest seemed totally less bothered by the ongoing criminal case and stated that he has “entrusted myself to Jesus and Mary.”

Italy’s age of consent is 16, so, even if the girl the girl was 15 as the priest claims he thought, he would still have been committing a crime.

Married pastor impregnates member 2 years after getting private jet as birthday gift from church

A Toronto-based Ghanaian man of God who is married and was gifted a private jet by his church members about two years ago has been involved in a paternity case following allegations that he fathered a child with his former congregant.

Martin Kofi Danso, the founder of Miracle Arena for All Nations, which operates 17 branches in various countries, reportedly impregnated Chris-Ann Bartley and the case has been taken to court.

But the pastor wants to have his identity kept secret because the publicity could damage his reputation and hurt him financially.

However, a judge ruled on Tuesday that Danso can’t keep his identity secret in the paternity case. The Star reports that Ontario Superior Court Justice Fred Myers dismissed a request by Martin Kofi Danso to extend a publication ban and sealing order on a court file related to allegations he fathered a child Bartley.

Bartley’s lawyer, Theodora Oprea, said after Tuesday’s hearing, that a DNA test has since confirmed Danso is the father of her client’s baby boy, who is now six months old.

According to the Miracle Arena website, “Prophet Danso” is a devoted father of four who travels the world “impacting and empowering millions of lives through his powerful preaching and teaching ministry.” His wife, JoAnne Danso, is a reverend with the church known as “Mama.” Court heard Tuesday she is expecting twins any day now.

WTF?! Zimbabwean man sneaks into hospital ward to make love with sick wife

Shamu said:

“It was around 3am that patients who were disturbed by the noise coming from the ecstatic couple reported to the nurses that there was sex in the ward. The nurses summoned a security guard who got the man out of the ward.”

Fans react as Toke Makinwa posts new semi-nude photo

Popular Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa has like she did a while back, shared a semi-nude photo on her Instagram page in a bid promote her latest products.

Her action of course, has caused a stir amongst her fans, with many of them coming at her with full force – the media personality and author had tongues wagging just last week when she debuted her semi-nude photos on her social media pages.

Quite unbothered about what these fans have to say, the OAP, earlier today shared another post – which featured her semi-nude too – to appreciate the people that have been making purchases of her products since its launch and also requested for their reviews of the ones they have bought so far.

Fans blast Regina Daniels for claiming she’s still 16 years old

Well, according to the teenage actress, 16 seems to be an everlasting age for her as for ‘years’ now, she’s been that particular age.

She didn’t say it was a throwback, all she said was that those who call her ugly should bring out their photos of when they were 16 and see if they were finer that her.

Sharing this photo, she wrote,

Oh yes ! Am pretty and i know it….. if u are older than me and u call me ugly, bring out your picture when you were 16 ?
????

However, most of her fans were astonished as to see that she still claims to be 16 – her official Wiki age says she’s 17 born in October 2000.

Victor Moses retires from International football

Super Eagles Player, Victor Moses has announced his retirement from International Football.

According to him, he is retiring after so much deliberations and would love to thank the country for the opportunity given to him to wear the Super Eagles shirt.

I would like to announce that after much thought I have made the decision to retire from playing international football.

I have experienced some of the best moments of my life wearing the Super Eagles shirt and have memories with me that will last a lifetime. Nothing will ever compete to what it felt like to represent Nigeria on behalf of our country.

However I feel that now is the right time to step away in order to be able to focus fully on club career and my young family as well as to allow the next generation of Super Eagles stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish. We are blessed as a nation to have so many exciting young players coming through and now is their time.

There are so many highlights that stand out for me over the years; from making my debut, to playing in two World Cups and being a part of the team to win the African Nations Cup for first time for our nation since 1994 being just a few of them.

I have already spoken to the manager by telephone and would like to say thank you to him and his staff, the NFF and all of my teammates for all of their support over the years. Most importantly I would like to say thank you to the Nigerian people for believing in me and supporting me over the years. It’s meant the world to me and my family and I will always be a proud Nigerian supporting the team.

Thank you for the memories and good luck to the team for the future.

 

”I am actively considering running against President Buhari in 2019” — Bukola Saraki

Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, has confirmed rumours that he will be running for Presidency in 2019.

He defected from APC to PDP a few weeks ago and has now confirmed this news in an interview with Bloomberg.

“I am consulting and actively considering it. I believe I can make the change.” he said during the interview conducted in his apartment in Abuja.

Saraki said that if he decides to run, it would be under the banner of the People’s Democratic Party, the main opposition group whose presidential primaries is slated for October.

Making reference to last Tuesday Augut 7th’s invasion by the DSS, Saraki said that singular action showed that Nigeria’s democracy is in danger and needed to be salvaged.

“If a government can go and lock up an arm of government — and it’s never happened in our history — we should all be very concerned.

“We should not be surprised that they would use security agencies for elections,” Saraki said.

Saraki added that Nigeria needs to be governed by a genuinely pro-business administration that will be able to tackle recurrent security issues.

Speaking on his new party PDP, Saraki said:

”The PDP has learnt its lesson from the loss in 2015, and I think unfortunately the APC did not learn from their victory.

“While negotiating with the PDP, we listed a number of issues. We talked about how to sustain and improve the fight against corruption; the issue of providing more powers to the states; inclusion and having a more nationalistic approach on things we do; to continue to improve the environment that will ensure investments.

“We listed a number of items during the discussions with the PDP, and there is a written agreement to that. We trust that we can hold them to that. We would ensure that the party is strong on security.

“The APC too have not done well on the issue of security. We have the opportunity with the right kind of presidential candidate and president to provide the leadership for the party.

“The party has a good opportunity to lead the country in the right direction.”
