News: Okada ban in Delta by Commissioner

Delta State Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Benson Igbakpa, has said there was no going back on the ban on commercial motorcycles, popularly known as Okada, as the ban takes effect today. He made it clear that the restriction would begin today in Warri, Asaba and Effurun, warning that the ban did not exclude private motorcycle users.
He said: ”Anybody who may claim to be using his or her motorcycle for private purposes or haulage should construct a carriage at the back signifying that it is not a passenger motorcycle.
“With the transport arrangements already on ground, we can move as much as 21,000 passengers at a time. So there is no going back on the November 1 take off date for the restriction order because the state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has been magnanimous enough.”
Governor Uduaghan had extended the ban by one month to enable a better take off of the system.
Already, the presence of tricycles on the streets of Asaba has become prominent in the last couple of days.
While some passengers that usually patronized Okada told our reporter that they were not comfortable with the ban as the tricycles would not be able to go into rough terrains, others heaved a sigh of relief over the ban.
Commissioning 1,250 tricycles to be used in place of motorcycles, the governor had warned politicians not to interfere with the distribution of the tricycles as it was exclusively reserved for commercial motorcycle operators.
The governor, who subsidized the cost of the tricycles up to 70 per cent, from N400,000 to N150,000, warned operators of the tricycles to restrict themselves to routes approved for them.
He noted that the introduction of the tricycles was to replace and gradually phase out commercial motorcycles as part of measures to ensure safety in the transport sector and promote security in the state.

PHOTOS: Venus and Serena Williams Land in Lagos

History was made again in Lagos on Tuesday as one of the Williams’ sisters and tennis icon, Venus Williams, finally arrived in Lagos, as widely reported in the local and international media. 

Venus, the older of the two world's renowned tennis icons, arrived in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital about 3:35pm, aboard a Delta Airline flight. She was welcomed to the hands of officials of Connect Marketing Services Ltd and scores of journalists, who had waited anxiously outside of the arrival lounge of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja.

                   

Her sister, Serena, who has just clinched the WTA title which just ended in Istanbul, Turkey, arrived in Lagos at 9pm local time, on Tuesday.

From the airport, Venus was led straight to a waiting convoy of vehicles and driven to Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island where another group of Journalists had also assembled to receive the tennis queen.

Looking visibly excited about her coming to Lagos, she was accompanied by her managers, who however, did not allow her to entertain any questions from the journalists saying, Venus and Serena will speak to the media elaborately on the purpose of their visit during a Media Conference scheduled to hold on Wednesday 31, October 2012 in Lagos. 

Both Serena and Venus Williams are in Lagos as part of the Nigerian leg of a planned tour of two African countries, namely Nigeria and South Africa.

They are here on the platform of Breaking The Mould (BTM) campaign, a women's empowerment programme put together by Octagon and its West Africa affiliate, Connect Marketing Services Ltd.

While in Lagos, they will participate in a number of supporting initiatives such as a tennis clinic, school visit, exhibition match and gala dinner among others.

Through these initiatives, they will be motivating, inspiring and mentoring diverse audiences in particular women and young persons as well as other categories of people to be the best they can be, regardless of obstacles on their way.

Serena and Venus Williams are considered fit as “Mould Breakers” as the story of their lives exemplifies how determination, passion, hard work and self-belief can turn dreams into reality, despite obstacles.

ENTERTAINMENT: Heavily pregnant Mercy Johnson still shooting movies.

Mercy Johnson is about seven months pregnant but that hasn't slowed her down one bit as she's said to be moving from one movie location to another. What movie producers and marketers now do is write scripts that suit her condition - that of a pregnant woman.

She recently finished shooting a movie in Delta state and has embarked on another one titled Baby Oku in America which I hear some parts will be shot in the US while she's there to give birth.

Entertainment: World'sHotesst Woman Not Ready To Have a Baby.

American actress and reality TV star, Nicole Natalie Marrow (nee Austin) popularly known as Coco has revealed what may be a major plot point of this season of “Ice Loves Coco,” saying she is thinking about preserving her eggs for the future.

Coco who is married to rapper-actor Ice-T told Fox News: “Do I really say screw it, let’s have a baby right now and then put everything on hold? No, I still feel like I’m young. Let’s do everything I want to do and then have the baby.”

Coco is 33 and happy with Ice-T who she’s been married to since December 31, 2001, but she just isn’t ready to settle down and have a family.

On February 29, 2012, ESPNRadio 1000 in Chicago rated Coco the hottest woman on the planet. Maybe she thinks making babies would change that.

News: More State Needed

SENATE President David Bonaventure Alechenu Mark makes sure he says things importantly. States would be created, he said. It sounds like a fait accompli. He must have figured it out, the States and added the political cost of creating them.
“Creation of additional States can only make government closer to the people contrary to the view in certain quarters that we do not need additional States in the federation,” Mark said in Ijebu-Ode, where he was attending a festival.
His thesis is wrong. States do not make governments closer to the people. Governments are not close to the people even in the state capitals where governments are located. Are the local governments close to the people? Closeness of governments to the people derives from a decision of those in charge to relate to their people, notice their challenges and tackle them. It is not an issue related to number of States. If 774 local governments are not close to the people what difference would more States make?
Many governors and legislators (even in the local governments) live in Abuja. They occasionally visit their States. Members of the National Assembly ignore their constituency offices in the States. Everyone thinks of operating from Abuja, as if the people and their challenges must be shunned.
How would the creation of new States solve these problems? How would it address marginalisation, when new States throw up new minorities?  Most importantly, would creation of States consider the increasing costs of governments?
New States come with new capitals, bureaucracies that replicate poverty of the former State, new layers of wastes. Are they affordable? For an economy in distress, how would new States enhance its recovery?
Politicians are wonderful people. They have answers without the questions. If they need States, they would create them to satisfy prospective governors, new godfathers and expand the political sphere for appointments and elections. New States would serve the interests of politicians, who are anxious about their future.
There are implications from new States. Cost of governance would rise at the National Assembly which could see increase in membership to reflect the circumstances. We are complaining of too many Ministers, we would have to appoint more, since each State should have a Minister. We may have to create more Ministries to accommodate them. There would be senior special assistants and ministerial aides. The contest for power at the centre would become more unwieldy.
There were more than 66 requests for States. How many would be created to make governments closer to the people?
State creation would be an expensive decision. There are better options, before the National Assembly, which it should explore.

Entertainment: I'm Back And Better.

Top Nollywood actress,Grace Amah, who has been missing on screen for some time now may have finalised plans to stage a comeback to her first love-acting.

Amah took a break early last year in order  to have her son abroad. Since then, she has been missing on screen.

*Grace and son

The Actress was spotted at a celebrity event last week in Lagos, where  she announced return to acting after months of disappearing from the screen.

“I stayed off the screen all these months to be able to nurture my baby. But now, I’m back  again in full force. At the moment, I have featured in two movies which are yet to be released.”Amah said.

News: N4.24 billion paid to the Federal Government, and nobody is sure who has the money.

SOME things are better not said. Nigeria’s attitude to accountability casts slurs on any efforts to fight corruption and the criminalities it sustains.
How can $26.5 million (about N4.24 billion) be paid to the Federal Government, and nobody is sure who has the money? Why would it take America’s prompting for government to act on the matter?
A $180 million scam involving Halliburton has seen people jailed abroad, others fined, including the construction company, Julius Berger, but in Nigeria, instead of those alleged to be involved to be prosecuted, it is the fine of $26.5 million Berger paid that is missing.
President Goodluck Jonathan’s instruction to the Attorney General of the Federation Mohammed Bello Adoke to recover the money is instructive. There are conflicting statements from Berger, the police and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation on the money.
One account said the money was with the Accountant General of the Federation. Another said it was with the Attorney General. How would government be unable to trace the money, which Berger paid for a plea bargain?
Nigeria has not investigated the scam in a satisfactory manner. The refusal to try those indicted could be part of the inattentiveness in the matter that made it possible for $26.5 million that should have been recovered to be missing.
Mr. Jeffery Tesler, a Halliburton official, jailed for the scam, listed Nigerian officials who benefitted from bribes paid to them to gain favourable considerations in LNG contracts. Tesler said he used Berger as a conduit for the money which was used to bribe top government functionaries and some prominent Nigerians.
Only a former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to former President Olusegun Obasanjo was charged to court. The case instituted in 2010 is still on.
The new scandal became public two weeks ago, when the US government, in response to Nigeria’s request to release the balance of the bribe money held up in a US bank asked Nigeria to account for the plea bargain money.
The additional condition the US gave for releasing the money is prosecution of those involved in the scam.
Our concerns centre on the lax application of accountability in government affairs. The Halliburton money may be only an instance.
There are many cases of money the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recovered that nobody knows where the money is. What would make government ask for accounts of the money?
Governments should be worried about their accounting standards. The standards have been lowered so much they invite insult from the likes of the US government.
Halliburton money is not missing, we simply have a scandal within a scandal.

Sport: John Utaka Promised 120% Effort If He Is Picked For Next Year's AFCON.

John Utaka has promised a 120% effort for Nigeria if he is picked for next year’s AFCON in South Africa.
The striker, who made a goal-scoring return for French champions Montpellier at the weekend against Nice after he was sidelined by a groin injury, told MTNFootball.com his commitment to Nigeria is not negotiable.
“It’s the coach who decides who to invite, but for me any time I am given the chance, I will give a 120% for my country, said Utaka, who started two qualifiers under Stephen Keshi in June.
Utaka started 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Namibia and Malawi and was then dropped for the 2013 AFCON qualifier at home against Rwanda after he fired blank in both games.
He said Nigeria have the quality to win a third Nations Cup trophy in South Africa because Keshi has made remarkable progress with the team since he took charge last year.
“We have what it takes to win the Nations Cup in South Africa,” he said.
“Coach Keshi has been doing a great job and anyone who is following the work of the coach will admit that huge progress has been made.”
However, he warned that a first round group that pitches the Eagles against defending champions Zambia, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia ought not to be taken lightly.
“I have seen our group and I must confess that no team in that group is easy. Africa football is a different ball game and you know that any country that files out against Nigeria wants to make history by beating Nigeria,” he warned.

Sport: Super Falcons Commended By NFA.

The Nigeria Football Association on Monday lauded the Senior Women National Team, the Super Falcons and the U-17 National Team, the Golden Eaglets, over their brilliant performances.
The Falcons on Monday in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, edged Cameroon’s Lionesses 2-1 to pick up three vital points in their opening match of Group B at the 8th African Women Championship.
The Eaglets had on Sunday thrashed their Guinean counterparts 4-0 in Conakry in the second leg of their 2013 African U-17 Championship, to qualify for the final round of qualification series on a 7-0 aggregate.
Emeka Inyama, the Chairman of the NFA Media and Publicity Committee, said the performances of both teams came on the heels of excellent outings by the Flying Eagles and the Super Eagles who qualified for next year’s African championships.
“The NFA is delighted that our National Teams are now giving their all in important games and we will continue to ensure the teams prepare well for major championships within the limits of our resources.
“The Eaglets, in a way, avenged the defeat of the Super Eagles in Conakry during the qualifying series for the 2012 African Cup of Nations.
“The Falcons on the other hand have now paid the Cameroonians back for that penalty shoot-out blot that stopped our girls from the London 2012 Olympics,” Inyama said.
NFA flew the Falcons to Ghana for a one-week final training camp before the tournament and also hiked the team’s win-bonus to 3,000 dollars per player.
Musa Amadu, the NFA General Secretary, assured that the Association would give every support to the Falcons in their next match against Ethiopia on Thursday and for the Eaglets in their final round of qualifiers against Mali.
“We are already putting arrangements in place for the Eaglets to return to Calabar immediately they come back from Guinea on Tuesday,” Amadu said.
“This is for them to start preparation for the first leg match against Mali, which comes up on Nov.18.
“Gov. Liyel Imoke and the wonderful people of Cross River State have been very supportive and we appreciate them.
“As for the Falcons, we are putting heads together to see how we can further motivate them to fire from all cylinders against Ethiopia, as a win in that match will guarantee our semi final place even before the clash with Cote d’Ivoire on Sunday

News: Nigerian ‘witchcraft’ sex trafficker Jails For 20-Years In UK.

A Nigerian sex trafficker who used witchcraft rituals to silence the teenage girls he smuggled into Britain for prostitution was jailed for 20 years on Monday.
Osezua Osolase, 42, tricked three impoverished Nigerian orphans into travelling to Britain before attempting to sell them to gangs in Europe for prostitution.
The recycling plant worker, who lived in Kent, southeast England, used west African juju rituals to instill terror in the three girls, aged 14, 16 and 17.
“You are undoubtedly a very, very dishonest man,” said judge Adele Williams as she sentenced him at Canterbury Crown Court in Kent.
“You are arrogant and manipulative; you are devoid of conscience, devoid of any compassion to your victims.”
Osolase, who has HIV, was found guilty after a six-week trial on Friday of five counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation, one count of rape and one of sexual activity with a child.
The fact that he had raped one girl knowing that he has HIV was a “seriously aggravating” factor, Williams said.
It was recommended that Osolase be deported once he has served his sentence.
He had convinced the girls to travel to Britain with fake Nigerian passports by promising them an education and modelling careers, the court heard.
He was stopped at Stansted Airport, north of London, in April last year while attempting to board a plane.
His 16-year-old victim told police that he had performed a juju ritual on her in Nigeria in which blood was taken from her and hair was cut from her head and genitals.
She was then made to swear an oath of silence.
Police believe there were at least 25 victims of Osolase’s trafficking ring, which smuggled girls into Britain before passing them on to gangs in countries including Italy and Spain.
