2 students die from initiation concoction in Kogi

Two teenagers, who finished their secondary education this year (names withheld), have been reported dead in Kabba, Kogi State, in mysterious circumstance.
Sources told Vanguard that their deaths were in connection with cult initiation by a confraternity in the town.
When contacted, the parents of the teenagers said they were too devastated to speak to the press. They told Vanguard that they did not want the incident reported for fear of police harassment.
A source, who craved anonymity, said the boys died of complications which resulted from drinking a “hard substance,” which was part of the initiation.He said the boys voluntarily sought to join the confraternity.
The source said:

“From what was gathered, one of the boys was given a very hard concoction to drink during his initiation into Eiye confraternity by the leaders of the cult group. “The substance, which was laden with very hard drugs, led to the death of the poor boy.”

However, a new twist has emerged in the controversy surrounding the teenagers’ deaths.
Another account has it that the boy took performance enhancing drugs which overstretched his system and led to his demise.
According to this account, four teenagers were involved in taking the concoction known in local parlance as Sukudie.
He said the teenagers, who resided at Odiolowo CAC area of Kabba, were rushed to the Specialist Hospital, Kabba, before two of them died.
The two survivors, according to the source, are Ebira boys from Okene.

OSUN STUDENT STIFF HEAD WITH THE GOVERNOR

Polytechnics Students in Osun State are preparing for legal battle against the governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola alongside the state police force after their protest against their staying out of school for over four months was violently interrupted and were teargassed by the police, which led to the death of three students.
This was make known in a write-up posted on social media by some members of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS.
The state owned tertiary institutions lecturers declared an indefinite strike for non-payment of salary by the State government.
In a write-up tagged “ATTEMPTED EXTINCTION OF Nigerian students voice in Osun state by Aregbesola: NANS POSITION” posted in walls and pages of social media, the students stated why they embarked on the grievance resolution and also expressed their shock over the manner at which the protest was halted violently by the state riot police.
The content contained in the write-up says “The entire Nigerian Students family is still very shocked by the reckless and brutal assault and attack on Nigerian students by the Nigerian Police Force and government Agencies under the watch and instructions of the Osun State Governor in Osogbo yesterday, which shows the highest degree of leadership irresponsibility and inhuman posture of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
“Nigerian Students of some tertiary institutions in Osun State which include Osun State Polytechnic Iree, Osun State Polytechnic Esa-Oke, Osun State College of Education Ilesha and Osun State College of Education Ila Orangun, that have remained at home wasting over four months, due to the inability of the State Government of Osun to resolve the current industrial dispute between her and the teaching staffers of the institutions. The students however, having waited patiently enough and had on several occasions appealed to the state government to resolve this dispute, embarked on a peaceful protest to call the attention of the osun government to their plights in the most civilised manner and global best practices guaranteed by the students movement modus operand, but to our utter disappointment, the government of Osun state unleashed terror on the students during which several students were injured and three lost their lives in a pitiable manner in the water.
“One is therefore made to wonder what manner of legacies is the Governor of Osun state trying to put in place for coming generations, when he has permanently short the door of his conscience against Nigerians students.
The students, nevertheless, seek for parents and well meaning Nigerians that understand the value of education to come to their aids
“We therefore use this medium to call on all well-meaning people of Osun State and Nigerians to rise against this senselessness in the position of authority, which is a reminiscence of the infamous military oppression”.
However, NANS made clear their position on the matter as they prepare to institute a legal action against the state and her Police Force
“We in the National Association of Nigerian Students will not accept this. We will not surrender our liberty and future on the alter of socio-political oppression.
The national secretariat of NANS having duly consulted with other civil society organisations with supportive mandate with NANS have resolved to constitute a three man committee to visit Osun State to investigate the matter more adequately and report to the National secretariat of NANS in 7days on the next line of action particularly as instituting a legal action against the Nigerian Police Force and the government of the state of Osun.
A news medium called The Lead reported that “when the protest was becoming violent with the manner the students were harassing passers-by and shop owners, the riot policemen were deployed to disperse the protesters.
The Lead included in its report that some of the students sustained serious injury while the policemen arrested some of them and also seized some Students Union Buses.
Reacting to the development, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola explained that the state government was working tirelessly to ensure the lecturers are paid soon. The Lead reports.
Meanwhile, there has been speculation that some of the institutions have called off the strike following the students’ protest.

Yale University: Withdraw The Honorary Doctorate Degree Given To Ngozi Iweala.

The petition was filed by one Sunday Iwalaiye through the world's largest petition platform wwe.change.org (An online platform where individuals can start a campaign and mobilise hundreds of others locally or hundreds of thousands around the world, making government bodies and company responsive and accountable).
"YALE UNIVERSITY GAVE ITS PRESTIGIOUS HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE TO AN UNDESERVING NIGERIAN"
:Ngozi Iweala, the outgoing Nigeria's finance minister was awarded a honorary doctorate degree by Yale University on May 15, 2015. The citation from the Yale University reads:"Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Doctor of Humane Letters. You are a citizenof your country, your continent, and the world. Shaped by challenging experiences during your childhood in Nigeria, you have made social and economic reform your mission. As Nigeria’s coordinating minister of economic development and minister of finance, you have tackled corruption, created a vision and path to long-term economic stability, and worked to build a culture of transparency. At the World Bank, you made food securitya priority and provided policy adviceand capital for the world’s poorest countries. With wisdom, a fierce dedication to doing what is right, and unflagging energy, you have transformed the economic landscape of your nation. We are proud to name you Doctor of Humane Letter"This citation from the Yale University does not reflect nor represent everything that has happened under the watch and the supervision of the Nigerian economy by Ngozi Iweala as the nation's finance minister.
There is no tangible evidence of any economic development in Nigeria under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala in all reality. Nigeria's economy is still an oil-dependent economy that is debt and borrowingridden as well as 100% consuming and importing in nature. Nigeria's debt profile has risen rapidly under Ngozi Iweala and Nigeria has borrowed over $2 billion in the last four months alone to pay salaries ofthe federal and state civil servants.Our foreign reserves and excess crude oil accounts have both depleted heavily under Ngozi Iweala. The recurrent expenditures in the federal budgets reached the highest levels which made capital development practically impossible in Nigeria under Ngozi Iweala. The board of regents of this ivy league school missed it completely by awarding their prestigious honorarydoctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian in all truth, honesty and reality. The Nigeria's economy has remained the same under Ngozi Iweala without any evidence of its diversity from oil.
The Nigerian Naira crashed to its lowest value in its history under Ngozi Iweala. The true picture that Yale University missed is the fact that the economy of Nigeria has almost grounded to its final halt today which will makes its a daunting task for the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari to meet its campaign promises.The menace of official corruption and financial scandals have both reached their peaks in Nigeria underNgozi Iweala. A central bank governor was fired for disclosing that $20 billion was missing from the federal coffers and this allegation was investigated in a shady and questionable manner. The oil subsidy scam that cheated Nigeria's tax payers of trillions of Naira was coordinated and supervised by Ngozi Iweala. The culture of official corruption and state resource mismanagement were both honored, celebrated, protected and defended under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala as the supervising coordinator of the Nigerian economy. To give a honorary doctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian by this world's reknown university is the biggest slap on the faces of the 180 million Nigerians in 2015.
I am using this social medium to appeal to the board of regents of this prestigious university to withdraw this honorary degree that they awarded to this Nigerian immediately and without any furtherdelay for the sake of posterity.

Breaking News!!! Katsina College releases Buhari’s WASC results

Government College, formerly Provincial Secondary
School, Katsina, which Muhammadu Buhari, the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate,
graduated from in 1961, has released Mr. Buhari’s
secondary school certificate examination results.
The results, obtained exclusively by PREMIUM TIMES
Wednesday, confirm Mr. Buhari’s claim that he
undertook the University of Cambridge West African
School Certificate Examinations and obtained five
credits in English Language, Geography, Hausa
Language, History, and Health Science.
PREMIUM TIMES obtained the computer printout
from Cambridge University as well as a statement of
result, signed by the current principal of Katsina
College, dated January 21, 2015.
The results show that Mr. Buhari, a former military
head of state, failed in Mathematics and Woodwork,
and had a pass in Literature in English.
The examination centre number was 8280 while Mr.
Buhari’s candidate number was 002.
The statement of results is printed on the letter head
paper of the Katsina State Ministry of Education, and
it shows that the examination took place in 1961.
The Cambridge print out also shows the result of 17
other candidates at the centre, including Shehu
Yar’adua, a former Chief of Staff, Supreme
Headquarters.
Controversy over Mr. Buhari’s result escalated
Tuesday after the Nigerian Army, which had earlier
admitted to having a copies of his certificate,
reversed itself saying it could not even attest to the
details listed in his records.
The spokesperson of the Army, Olajide Laleye, said
“Neither the original copy, certified true copy (CTC)
nor statement of result of Major-.Gen. Mohammadu
Buhari‘s WASC result is in his personal file.”
He said while it is the practice in the Nigerian Army
that before candidates are shortlisted for
commissioning into the officers’ cadre of the service,
the selection board verifies the original copies of
credentials as presented, “There is no available
record to show that this process was followed in the
1960s.”
The military’s comments came after the retired
general had said that his lost copies of results were
with the Army, an explanation he gave ahead of elections February 14.

NYSC Online Registration:Stakeholders Demand OutrightCancellation Of Fee

A cross section of parents and prospective
corps members have called for an outright
cancellation of the National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) online registration fee.
The stakeholders made the demand in
separate interviews with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
They said that the online registration fee was
too exorbitant for prospective corps
members to bear.
They also said the increasing economic
hardship in the country and other socio-
economic factors should be put into
consideration by the appropriate authorities.
Mr Jonah Ugwu, a parent resident in the FCT,
said the idea of making NYSC mobilisation
electronic compliant was a good one, but
noted that it was ill-conceived.
He said the initiators of the policy did not
consider a lot of factors before coming up
with the cost and other logistics for the new
method of mobilisation and registration.
“The idea is a wonderful one but the timing
is wrong, where will these young graduates
get N4,000 to register for the scheme.
“I am not against the new format for
registration, but it should be made free in
the first instance then subsequently the
corps could be levied a token,’’ he said.
Mr Dairus Akaleku, also a parent, decried the
measure adopted by the NYSC to introduce
the new system of registration.
He said the entire process has been marred
by the high charges fixed for the exercise.
According to Akaleku, the online registration
is a good initiative, but frowned at the high
fee as the same result could be achieved at a
cheaper rate.
Akaleku advised the NYSC management to
reverse the fee to N500 or at most N1,000 to
enable all prospective corps members buy
into the new method.
Mrs Ijeoma Okeke, a businesswoman in the
FCT, said government should realise that the
fee for the registration would be an added
burden to parents without any
commensurate increase in their income.
“Where are the parents going to get the
money from, business is not booming and
there has not been increase in the income of
those working in government
establishments.
“This is absolutely unacceptable and
unnecessary, can’t there be some other ways
of introducing the new format other than
asking the jobless graduates to pay for the
call up letters, it is sad,’’ she said.
A prospective corps member resident in the
FCT, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, told NAN that he could not afford
the said amount for his call up letter.
He told NAN on condition of anonymity that
the idea was novel and preferred it to the
manual method.
But corps member said he had to save
money to get other needs to participate in
the scheme.
He appealed to the authorities to make it free
for all prospective corps members.
He stressed that making it optional was not
in the best interest of the registration
process.
Another prospective corps member, who also
did not want her name mentioned, wondered
why government could not make adequate
provision for the new initiative.
She said the NYSC management could liaise
with the mobilising institutions to get the
needed data about the graduating students
and feed same to the NYSC for the electronic
registration.
“As far as am concerned NYSC does not need
to embark on a separate data capturing
exercise for the sake of mobilising corps
members.
“Most schools now register students online,
so the schools can arrange for special
registration for graduating students which
they can transfer to the NYSC for the purpose
of mobilisation.
“This will save us the stress of paying any
amount for the registration,’’ she said.
NAN recalls that the NYSC stakeholders’
conference endorsed the online registration
process at its end of year meeting, but
suggested a downward review of the cost.

Obasanjo’s Book Out, Declares President Jonathan Incapable Of Governing Well

An attempt by Buruji Kashamu, a close associate of President Goodluck Jonathan, to stop the publication of a three-volume book by former President Obasanjo, appears to have failed as SaharaReporters can confirm that the book has gone into circulation. A source close to Mr. Obasanjo confirmed to SaharaReporters late last night that copies of the former president’s exhaustive autobiography were already available to buyers in print form. The source that the book would soon be available in an electronic version that is beyond the jurisdiction of Nigerian courts.my-watch-obasanjo SaharaReporters has already obtained and read sections of the book scheduled for formal launch in Nigeria in a few days. The book, whose three volumes chronicle the life of the controversial former president from birth till this year, aroused political interest after SaharaReporters exclusively reported that Mr. Obasanjo devotes significant pages to paint an unflattering portrait of President Jonathan. We reported that the book characterizes Mr. Jonathan as selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable of rising to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. Mr. Obasanjo also accuses the president of surrounding himself with aides and political associates with corrupt tendencies. Mr. Obasanjo’s book dedicates several parts in the book to point out some of Mr. Jonathan’s actions and inactions he considers ill-advised or disastrous for Nigeria. He depicts Mr. Jonathan as a man who has not only destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party but also led Nigeria in dire straights. The book focuses on several instances of policy somersaults by Mr. Jonathan as well as deliberate actions by the incumbent president that have imperiled Nigeria’s progress in the opinion of Mr. Jonathan. An Abuja-based lawyer and critic of Mr. Obasanjo accused the former president of seeking to use the book to earn cheap popularity, adding that Mr. Obasanjo cannot get away from responsibility for “sponsoring President Jonathan’s rise to political prominence and the Presidency.” “We have been saying it from day one that President Goodluck Jonathan does not have the qualities to become a true leader, but we cannot forget that Chief Obasanjo singlehandedly put him and the late President Umaru Yar’Adua in office,” the lawyer said. Mr. Obasanjo’s book also castigates former President Umaru Yar’Adua, former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, and former Governor James Ibori of Delta State, Bukola Saraki, among other political foes. In the book, the former president also makes an incredible claim that he was never interested in pursuing a third term while in office. “That is a clear lie,” said Mr. Obasanjo’s critic. “To even deny what is so obvious to every Nigerian shows that Chief Obasanjo has little regard for the truth

Bill to end degree, HND dichotomy passes second reading

A bill for an Act to abolish and prohibit dichotomy and discrimination between first degree and the Higher National Diploma certificates in the same profession and field scaled the second reading on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday. The bill, sponsored by the member representing Ondo Central Senatorial District, Ayo Akinyelure, specifically seeks to end the ongoing controversy over wage disparity and gross discrimination against HND holders in the public and private sectors. He said, “The aftermath of continuing injustices, disparity and discriminations meted out to products of polytechnics in Nigeria is threatening to derail the nation’s core policy thrust of evolving a technological and scientifically-based and self-reliant society in the nearest future. “As I speak, thousands of would-be polytechnic and technology students are contemplating or have decided to opt for university education because of perceived and real discrimination against HND graduates. “If this contemplation occurs, there is bound to be a vacuum created in our labour market in this regard and dire consequences are bound to follow this trend. “Over the years, several entreaties have been put forth to the Federal Civil Service authorities to put a stop to certain glaring wage disparities and discrimination against the HND holders, and all these have been to no avail.” He said to make matters worse, certain federal parastatals are known to openly discriminate against HND holders to the extent of limiting their progress within the hierarchy of such government bodies.
