Meanwhile Ohuabunwa expressed confidence that his mandate would remain intact.

Reacting to statements by Onuoha that he would reclaim his mandate, Ohuabunwa said: “Which mandate is he talking about? Is it the one the people have freely given to me.”

Nyeson Wike

Wike in a letter titled ‘Request for approval to borrow N20bn loan facility from Access Bank Plc to finance major ongoing road projects’ sent to the house through the Speaker, Ikuiyi-Owaji Ibani, said the loan facility is intended to complete some uncompleted road projects embarked upon by the previous administration and also for some new road projects to be executed by his administration.

“Pursuant to our resolve to continue viable ongoing projects, government has met with contractors handling major roads construction in the state with a view to mobilizing them back to site.

“The contractors handling road projects awarded by the previous administration have indicated their willingness to mobilize to site and continue with construction work as soon as funds are released to them.

“As a result, we have considered it expedient to mobilize the contractors of the following ongoing road projects subject to availability of funds; Abuloma-Woji road, Woji Akpajo road, Rumuepirikom-Whimpey-Rumuolumeni road, Ozuoba-Ogbogoro-Rumuolumeni road, Rumuepirikom-Eleproanwa road and Igwuruta-Eneka-Elimgbu-Rumukwurushi road.

“In addition, we have also concluded plans to embark on the construction of the following new roads and other projects; Elelenwo-Akpajo road, Oroigwe road, Igwuruta-Chokocho road, the rehabilitation, fencing and construction of internal roads in Government Girls Secondary School, Rumuokwuta.

“Mr. Speaker, it is important to reiterate that these projects, when completed, will accelerate economic development in the state and improve the social well-being of our people. However, since the state government has no funds in its coffers, we will be unable to mobilize any contractor to site without first finding the funds on willing development partners. Accordingly, we approached Access Bank Plc, which has graciously agreed to advance the state government with a loan facility of twenty billion naira only for the purpose of funding these projects.”

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman of the state, Dr. Davies Ikanya, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday, June 28, urged President Buhari to investigate the years of Wike as the supervisory minister of education.

FRESH APC CRISIS: Northern Leaders Are In Anger

According to the latest information, provided by Punch a fresh crisis hits All Progressives Congress (APC). This time the national caucus meeting scheduled for Monday was cancelled because of reported anger of some leaders of the ruling party in the north at insinuations by Chief Bisi Akande.

On Monday Akande,who is a former interim national chairman of the APC stated: “Most Northern elite, the Nigerian oil subsidy barons and other business cartels, who never liked (President Muhammadu) Buhari’s anti-corruption political stance, are quickly backing up the rebellion against APC with strong support.”

An anonymous  member of the party’s caucus from the North-East geopolitical zone said it would have been a rancorous session if the caucus meeting had held in what he described as such an atmosphere of mutual suspicion.

READ ALSO: APC May Not Retain Power In 2019 – AKande

He said: “We (northerners) are unhappy about Chief (Bisi) Akande’s outburst. It was unnecessary because we are all trying to put out a fire that is threatening to consume our house. And when you have a respected leader and elder making such unguarded statements it does not help. I personally hold Chief Akande in high esteem but what he wrote in that letter was nothing short of an insult on our collective sensibilities. How can you single out a section of your party and call them criminals who were supporting rebels to destroy the party we all built? This is most unexpected and uncharitable to say the least.”

On Tuesday Alhaji Kawu Baraje, a chieftain of the APC, said he was disappointed that Akande who had led the party and served as a state governor could author a statement in which he was allegedly seeking to divide the nation by setting the North against the South-West.

He said: “I do not know where Chief Akande and his cohorts are getting this unsubstantiated information they are circulating. We challenge them to provide proof and let Nigerians make their judgment.Akande and co believe that they have exclusive right to determine who occupies what position in today’s Nigeria and whoever tries to challenge their position must be subjected to savage attack in the media. That tactic is definitely undemocratic.I have known Chief Akande to be an honest man. I got the shock of my life when he alleged that I had a meeting in my house with ‘some old and new PDP members with a view to hijacking the National Assembly’ through the aspiration of Dr. Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.”

READ ALSO:  Dogara Blasts Akande Over Oil Baron Statement

Baraje also noted that he has been quiet as a leader so as to not to be seen as taking sides because of his closeness to Dr. Saraki, else people will read meaning into it.

“Akande has been playing a role which I admire. He will recall that he met some actors, with a governor from the North-West and a leader of the party from the South-West, where the leader from the South-West was cautioned to be reasonable in this crisis.He (Akande) supported the view of the governor from the North-West that the particular leader from the South-West should be admonished for his action. It is therefore surprising that Akande is now being economical with the truth and painting a picture that exists only in his imagination,” a chieftain of the APC added

Baraje also said that the allegation by Akande that a purported meeting took place in his (Baraje’s) house after the general elections, where a so-called new PDP group plotted with a view to hijacking the National Assembly…with an ultimate aim of resuscitating the PDP as their future political platform was a mere fabrication.

Corruption In Nigeria: Historical Perspective And Possible Panacea

Editor’s note: Naij.com guest author Arinze Esomnofu addresses thorny issue of corruption in Nigeria with reference to the attitude Nigerians have towards it, and offers so-called “panacea” for corruption related crimes.

Story highlights:

– “…the people are truly fed up with corruption, and they want change that will lead to the “death” of corruption in Nigeria”.

– “Irrespective of how much one has stolen, irrespective of who one has bribed to get an unmerited favour, as long as they don’t contravene with their superior they will get away with it. That’s the Nigerian formula of corruption”.

– “Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians are aware of what is corruption, because we ourselves are the perpetrators-in-chief to what we call our greatest barricade to good governance”.

Introduction

The current ruling party in Nigeria, the APC, is very much focused on the rot caused by corruption during its campaign for the 2015 election. Since the mandate have been finally given to it one can only assume that the people are truly fed up with corruption, and they want change that will lead to the “death” of corruption in Nigeria.

What is corruption? Corruption is the dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power typically involving bribery. Over the years, Nigeria has seen different cases of corruption. The most successful were those of Chief James Ibori ended up with imprisonment and of Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha that finally resulted in official pardon by former president Jonathan.

Looking critically into the Ibori and Alamieyeseigha’s cases one would notice there was obvious falling out of favour with the then president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who by all means wanted a third term in office. Alameseigha, on the other hand, was considered a running mate of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, which angered Obasanjo to the core.

Alamieyeseigha’s case

My people would say: “To kill a dog you will first give it a bad name.” That was what befell Chief Alamieyeseigha. He was not on the same page with Obasanjo who was seriously targeting a third term. After every Obasanjo’s attempt to woo or threaten Alamieyeseigha had failed he used his attack dogs (EFCC) chaired then by Nuhu Ribadu to slam different corruption charges on Chief Alamieyeseigha eventually led to imprisonment.

Undoubtedly, Chief Alamieyeseigha mismanaged public funds, undoubtedly, there was high level of embezzlement in Bayelsa state. After all, huge sums in foreign currencies discovered in his possession, as well as property and monies on different accounts in the world, did not mysteriously appear there. However, one can’t help but wonder would Alamieyeseigha have faced all those corruption charges assuming he had always been supporting the then president Obasanjo? Would we have known Alamieyeseigha as the governor who sneaked out of the country dressed as a woman? The obvious answer is “no”, and that leads us to the conclusion that to get away with corruption in Nigeria one have to always be on the same page with those in power.

Ibori’s case

Chief James Ibori, the executive governor of Delta state between 1999-2007, became a face of stealing and corruption due to the same reason. In an interview he said: “In 1998 when I went round the nooks, crannies and creeks of Delta state campaigning for the 1999 election the practice of true federalism was my ideological anchor. I promised Deltans that if handed the mandate I would use my office to advocate Nigeria’s return to the practice of fiscal federalism and resource control. I did not renege on this promise.

“Those who have kept abreast of goings-on in the political space within the past few years will testify to my advocacy of resource control. The 1999 Constitution states explicitly that 13% shall be paid as derivation to constituent units for natural resources.

“This payment to the oil-producing states should have started in May, 1999, but President Olusegun Obasanjo refused to implement it. In March, 2000 I mobilized the governors and legislators of the South-South region to Asaba, Delta state capital, to press for its implementation. At the end of that summit we issued a stern communiqué. President Obasanjo who was compelled to pay in April that year deeply resented my outspokenness, and I entered his bad books for disagreeing with his policy of retaining a large chunk of the oil revenue at the center”.

Till date Ibori is still serving term in the UK prison.

A question begging for answer is: “Would Ibori and Alamieyeseigha have faced corruption charges and persecution assuming they had supported Obasanjo’s ideology and the infamous third term bid?” The answer is “no”, because Nigerian leaders always find a way of balancing the odds for loyalists.

That’s all it takes. Irrespective of how much one has stolen, irrespective of who one has bribed to get an unmerited favour, as long as they don’t contravene with their superior they will get away with it. That’s the Nigerian formula of corruption.

Nigerians’ attitude towards corruption 

Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians are aware of what is corruption, because we ourselves are the perpetrators-in-chief to what we call our greatest barricade to good governance.

If I am wrong, how can we explain the fact that when a certain Mr Eze Adamu declines a job in a top governmental agency after the relatives, both distance and close, lobbied for it he becomes a beast in the eyes of the community. But if he accepts he gets a pat on the back and sometimes a chieftaincy title, and this is pure and simple contribution to the very corruption devouring Nigeria.

The moment one of our relatives gets inaugurated into public office, the expectations to benefit from it are high. And God help them if they fail on these expectations as they will be crucified literally by their people.

Possible panacea for corruption

President Buhari often talks about bringing change to the country that will eliminate corruption in Nigeria. Here is what I suggest.

1. Attaching capital punishment to coruption

Though I must admit this is a tough call, but I stand totally by the death penalty for corruption related crimes. I am not alone supporting capital punishment. Senator Smart Adeyemi representing Kogi West Senatorial Constituency in the 7th National Assembly once called for a law prescribing death penalty for public officials found guilty of corrupt practices. He said such stiffer punishment would encourage the ongoing fight against corruption.

Do I agree with Senator Adeyemi? Sure, I do! Thumps up, senator, I expect the 8th National Assembly to pick up from where you stopped. Its high time Nigeria sends a signal to the world that we are serious in our anti-graft war.

The youths are also not left out in the call for сapital punishment for corruption. That’s why a group of young protesters on Thursday, May 14, 2015, stormed the Defence House in the Maitama area of Abuja, which the then Nigeria’s president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, was using for his official engagements.

2. Proper definition of corruption

Corruption must have a clear and easily understood definition both for the political elite and the masses. Even a former president Jonathan was obviously not sure of what corruption is as he said during the presidential media chat: “There is no corruption but mere stealing in Nigeria”.

3. Independence of the anti-graft agencies

There is the need for the EFCC and the ICPC to operate autonomously, without undue interference from the government, since anyone can be involved in corruption, and there should be no sacred cows.

4. Indipendence of the judiciary

The judiciary is a separate arm of government, and should be independent from the other arms. However, the judiciary must always give a hand in interpreting confusing scenarios involving corrupt practices.

5. Speedy trials

One of the major problems in the Nigerian judiciary is the incessant delays in resolving claims. A case is often getting adjourned for years losing relevance among the people and becoming a cold case. Thus, to eradicate corruption there should be speedy trials on corruption related cases.

Check Out 5 Wonders of Water That Would Wow You

Water is very important for human existence as we make use of water for so many things, either to cook, wash, drink and lots more.

Water is also described as a nutrient your body needs in order to replace the large amounts of water lost each day.

When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults.

Read how water helps boost your health below:

READ ALSO: 10 Tasty Nigerian Dishes You Must Try

1 Water Can Help Control Calories:

For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn’t have any magical effect on weight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help.

Food with high water content tends to look larger, its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full. Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal, and beans.

2 Water Helps Energize Muscles:

Cells that don’t maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue. When muscle cells don’t have adequate fluids, they don’t work as well and performance can suffer. However, drinking enough fluids is important when exercising.

3 Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good:

Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. Dehydration makes your skin look drier and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration but once you are adequately hydrated, the kidney takes over and excretes excess fluids.

4 Water Helps Your Kidneys:

Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine.

When you’re getting enough fluids, urine flows freely, is light in color and free of odor. When your body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid for bodily functions.

5 Water Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function:

Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. When you don’t get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration which results in constipation.

However, adequate fluid and fiber is the perfect combination, because the fluid pumps up the fiber and acts like a broom to keep your bowel functioning.

How Buhari Can Successfully Revive Nigerian Airways – Transition Committee

Its has been gathered that the Ahmed Joda led transition committee  in its recommendation report urged President Muhammudu Buhari to merging all debtor airlines in the country into a national carrier.

Ahmed Joda

The committee claimed that if this was made possible the airline would serve the West and Central African regions, with Nigeria as the regional aviation hub.

According to Premium Times, six of Nigeria’s leading domestic airlines are currently in huge debts totalling almost N130 billion who has made some of them run to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) for assistance.

The committee asked Buhari to within six months implement a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement involving all airlines with the AMCON and such arrangement would contribute to anational carrier project.

According to the this will increase government revenue from the aviation industry, reduce capital flight, expand the local sector and create more employment opportunities.

A working partnership between the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) and the ministries of aviation, finance, industry, trade and investment to incorporate an aviation-focused PPP framework that would enable infrastructure, procurement and upgrade of the sector was recommended.

The committee highlighted under-utilization as a key challenge in the sector adding that about 75 percent of passenger traffic were from Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja, while Lagos and Abuja generated over 90 percent of the revenue earned.

The committee also asked the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to enforce a capital requirements of N2.5 bn (domestic) and N 5billion (International) for airlines in the next three months  so as to ensure a realistic capital in accordance with global best practices,

While the NCAA does this, the government begin repairs and upgrade of passenger facilities, including air-conditioning systems, luggage conveyor belts, passenger tunnels to ensure better customer experience, increase revenue, and improve the safety of travelers. The Ahmed Joda-led transition committee has also urged Buhari to borrow immediately if he must offset the backlog of unpaid salaries.

According to Joda, in order to deal with crippling fuel crisis, and backlog of unpaid salaries by states and the federal government, Buhari must “borrow immediately or use CBN (Central Bank) advances for salaries and fuel subsidies to avoid chaos.”

5 Ways To Deal With Toilet Infections

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), is an infection which involves the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. These are the structures that urine passes through before being eliminated from the body.

The upper urinary tract is composed of the kidneys and ureters. Infection in the upper urinary tract generally affects the kidneys, which can cause fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and other severe symptoms.

The lower urinary tract consists of the bladder and the urethra. Infection in the lower urinary tract can affect the urethra or the bladder.

1 Drink Water Excessively:

Drink lots of water so you’ll pee more frequently. This exercise helps you flush out bacteria down there.

2 Always Pee After Sex:

For some young women, especially those who are newly sexually active, sex itself can cause a UTI. Sometimes there’s not enough lubrication, which causes irritation to the urethra, and intercourse pulls bacteria up into the urethra.

Over time, your body becomes more used to having sex, and your vagina becomes more stretchable and familiar with fending off external bacteria, but it’s still good to take a trip to the bathroom within an hour or two.

3 Always Wipe Front To Back:

You probably learnt this as a toddler, but wiping back to front can introduce bacteria from your butt into your vagina and urethra. The most common type of UTI is from “E. coli”, a bacterium that lives on skin and is found more in fecal matter and around your anus. Just wipe the right way.

4 Avoid Vaginal Products:

Your vagina already contains protective bacteria called “lactobacillus” to deter infections, so if you introduce unnatural cleaning elements, you risk upsetting your body’s balance and raise the chance of bacterial overgrowth. Besides warm water and soap, you don’t need to use anything special on your vagina.

5 Take Vitamin C:

It’s wise to get in the habit of making sure you get enough C, either through a supplement or through food. Vitamin C makes your urine more acidic, which may help fend off bacteria that may be lingering in your urinary tract.

However, urinary tract infection is second only to respiratory infection as the most common type of infection.

SEE Why Mozambique Has Become One Of The Most Gay Countries In Africa

7 Shocking Reasons Why Married Women Cheat

There have been various reasons why lots of married women cheat.

Here are a few reasons….

1. Complacency Most married couples get tired of each other few months after marriage. Being always in each other’s faces and more can push many women to welcome attention from other places other than their husbands. This gradually get even the very innocent of them into what they do not want before they could realize it.

2. Lacking The Fear of God (Very Dangerous) The fear of God has its place in every relationship. A prayer-less woman who is not so conscious of God can do anything just to satisfy her inner canal desires. 

3. Not Satisfied With Sex  A woman who has been around the block will find nothing spectacular about the next in line cock. She has seen her fair share and has realised that their is nothing left to explore. It however takes an understanding husband who does not mind going all the way to satisfy the sexual desires of his woman. Ask some women why they engage in extra marital affairs and they will tell you it is because of the need for them to explore more ‘grounds’.

4. Financial Situations Women just don’t know how to survive without money and they find it difficult if they are unable to buy some basic things such as panties, bra, make-up kit, dresses etc. Usually with marriage, some of these things come to a halt or are reduced. She doesn’t get the opportunity to go shopping and all that and before you know it, she’s cheating with a man who can satisfy those needs.

5. Limited Expectations  Quite a lot of women have this high expectation of marriage. The fantasize about how rosy and fairy tale-like marriage will be. When reality comes knocking, their disappointment might push them off the cliff. The look for  satisfaction and fulfilment and get into the wrong places.

6. Intimacy With time, couples become distant due to children, jobs and economic pressure, meanwhile, women love the intimacy and privacy shared together. When it’s not forthcoming, she’s likely to get someone who will provide her with that.

7. Low self-esteem This is the most dangerous. Run if you see this trait in a woman. When a woman is insecure about herself, she has a need to seek validation from others. This can be in the form of sexual, emotional, or intellectual attention. When you don’t love or value yourself, you may project that onto the person you are in a relationship with, and believe they don’t love or value you. Even if your husband or boyfriend loves you greatly, you still may cheat because you find it hard to accept their unconditional love.

BVN Deadline Triggers Reactions, Long Queues

As the deadline for Bank Verification Number (BVN) exercise elapses today, June 30, 2015, customers who are yet to obtain BVNs have besieged banks in thousands to beat the deadline.

This medium found out that the last-minute rush for BVN has consequently triggered long queues in most banks across the country.

Our correspondents, who visited some banks in Lagos, found out that customers were trooping to banks as early as 7am this morning to beat the deadline.

Speaking with Naij.com, some of the customers who claimed they were not informed earlier lamented about the delay experienced due to the congestion in the banking halls.

A woman who identified herself as Aisa said she left home as early as 5am in order to get the BVN . She expressed her dismay when she got to her bank; Guarantee Trust Bank( GTB), Oba Akran branch, Lagos, at about 6;45am and met dozens of customers already on queue; waiting for the bank to resume operation for the day.

Despite leaving home early, she said she couldn’t get her BVN until 8;30am due to the large number of people yearning for same service.

Emeka Ugwu, a business man, though was able to get his BVN at Zenith Bank, Allen Avenue branch, he feels the initiative is unnecessary. ”I don’t know why the CBN would make this BVN thing compulsory. I have to leave my business now to do this and you can imagine the time/ money loss” he said.

Ugwu suggested that the CBN might need to extend the deadline to accommodate more customers.

While bank officials were overwhelmed by the desperate customers, BVN registrations seem to have been the main task for all banks today.

The fact that most banks plan to close early today; 2pm for mid-year evaluation makes today’s task more cumbersome for bank officials.

Customers were seen scrabbling for the BVN forms as bank officials were compelled to produce more copies for the agitated customers and delegated more staff to the task.

BVN was initiated by the CBN in February, 2014. This to create unique customer identification irrespective of bank.

The benefits also include easy and fast credit check, authentic means of identification and more efficient way of fraud management.

To register, customers are obliged to present a means of identification and fill an enrollment form.

BVN officially closes today; by 2pm in most banks while CBN had vowed not to extend the deadline as agitated by some customers.
