NEWSTinubu Gets Bill Seeking To Return Nigeria To Regional Govt Next Week

A bill seeking a return to a regional system of government for Nigeria will be transmitted to President Bola Tinubu next week, according to reports.

Recall that the House of Representatives last week disowned the draft bill which circulated widely on the internet.

Titled, ‘A Bill for an Act to substitute the annexure to Decree 24 of 1999 with new governance model for the Federal Republic of Nigeria’, the bill seeks among others, new extant laws to be cited as “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria New Governance Model for Nigeria Act 2024.

The preliminaries of the bill read in part, “Whereas Nigeria, its peoples and government have been governed under Decree 24 of 1999 that was handed down by the then military government without the express consent of the people despite the preamble of ‘We, the people.

“Whereas the said Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) is not autochthonous as it does not evolve from the deliberations and consensus of the Nigerian People; whereas the peoples of Nigeria now desire and effectively demand for a change to a constitution based on federal/regional system of government.

“Whereas the federal and regional governments are to operate within the provisions of this Constitution, it is within the discretion of the ethnic blocs within the states that constitutes a given region to aggregate or disaggregate as provinces, divisions and districts, while being in control of their affairs without let or hindrance at whatever level of governance.”

Following enquiries, the House disowned the bill as the duo of the House spokesman, Akin Rotimi and the Chairman, Rules and Business, Francis Waive said the proposed legislationl was not before committee for deliberation.

However, the drafter of the private bill, Dr Akin Fapohunda, who had earlier hinted our correspondent of his intent to interface with members of the National Assembly ahead of the transmission of the bill to the parliament, on Friday, said he had chosen to send the proposed law to President Tinubu, who may in turn present same to the parliament as executive bill.

:: We Cannot Declare Strike Now – NLC President Ajaero Breaks Silence on Minimum Wage Dispute

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced that it will not embark on a strike action tomorrow, Tuesday, to demand a new national minimum wage.

This decision was made known by the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, at the ongoing International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

Ajaero said: “We cannot declare strike now because the figures are with the President.”

He added that the tripartite committee’s proposals are awaiting the President’s decision, and the NLC’s National Executive Council will deliberate on the new figure once it is announced.

“During the tenure of the immediate past President, the figure that was proposed to him was N27,000 by the tripartite committee but he increased it to N30,000. We are hopeful that this President will do the right thing. The President had noted that the difference between N62,000 and N250,000 is a wide gulf,” he said.

Ajaero berated governors who declared that they wouldn’t be able to pay a minimum wage of N62,000.

He said, “How can any governor say he cannot pay? They cannot also be calling for the decentralization of the minimum wage.

“Are their wages decentralized? Governors whose states are not contributing a dime to the national purse and who generate pitiable Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) are collecting the same amount as governors whose states are generating billions of dollars into the FAAC.

“They should decentralize their salaries and emoluments first.”

He praised Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, who is paying a minimum wage of N70,000, as an example to be emulated.

He said, “So, where is the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki getting his money from? He is paying N70,000 minimum wage. This is the type of governor that should be emulated and not the lazy ones.”

ELEVEN (11) PRINCIPLES YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND ABOUT POLITICS BEFORE YOU STRESS YOURSELF

1. Nobody has your interests.

2. Everybody is chasing their own interests.

3. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.

4. In any Political equation, there’s always someone being used. If you can’t find one then it is you.

5. Serving Politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don’t recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.

6. In Politics never mourn or wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies.

7. In Politics, in any event that other interests conflict with your own interests and you have to choose, always choose yours.

8. Never cross oceans for Politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.

9. Don’t kill yourself for their ambition or put your life at risk for any politician.

10. Above all, Family and Health are things you should never use to attack a man. Politics is never that serious.

11. Lastly to all the Youths, it’s too risky to sacrifice your Career, Health, Personal Character, Social capital, and integrity in pursuit of short term and temporary rewards, offered by Politicians.

Now you know. Let's love one another and put aside emotions and feelings. I can tell you what you are shouting about today at the top of your voice,a few years to come will not make sense and you will see that you really wasted your energy and time.

Education in Nigeria: First female Washington D.C. varsity PhD holder in Computer Science decries standard

The falling standard of education in Nigeria has attracted the attention of Dr Frances Osamor, who says it is facing daunting challenges.
Osamor who is first black female to bag a doctorate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), in Washington, U.S A, recently said: "the Nigerian education system, like many others in Africa, faces numerous challenges.
"These include a shortage of qualified teachers, inadequate educational infrastructure, and a lack of learning and technological resources.

"However, I remain hopeful that with time, the education system in Nigeria will improve".

Dr Osamor however advised the government at all levels to prioritize funding of education and provide basic necessities like electric power and water.

"To enhance the quality of tertiary education in Nigeria, several steps can be taken. The government should prioritize providing sufficient funding and ensuring basic necessities such as water and electricity are available.

"Additionally, addressing the issue of insecurity and improving infrastructure are crucial. Reducing unnecessary bureaucratic procedures and offering better economic and financial incentives to teachers and professors will also contribute to the improvement.

"Lastly, promoting transparency throughout the education system is essential", she said.

Speaking on the wave of migration of professionals from the country to other countries, especially academics, the Delta Igbo born US based Computer Science and Engineering professional said brain drain has a detrimental effect on the quality of education in the country.

"I firmly believe that the majority of our professors are passionate about their profession. However, the potential mass departure of Nigerian professors from the country could have detrimental effects on the quality of education and exacerbate the shortage in tertiary institutions and the overall educational system.

"It is my sincere hope that the government will explore and provide viable alternatives that can discourage professors from leaving the country", she stated.

Dr Osamor promised to visit Nigeria and conduct an assessment of the education sector in order to contribute to the development of the sector.

"In my own humble capacity, I plan to conduct a thorough assessment during my visit to Nigeria to identify ways in which I can contribute to the advancement of the Nigerian educational system, particularly in the fields of computer science and engineering. I am highly optimistic about the potential for significant improvements in the Nigerian educational system", she assured.

Continuing, she said: "Drawing upon my experience and extensive research in the United States of America, I envision transforming the education system in Nigeria. If appointed as a leader in the field of education, my goal would be to introduce the successful educational practices from the United States to Nigeria, ensuring a comfortable learning environment for all citizens, especially Nigerian students.

"Throughout my university journey, I had the privilege of interacting with professors from diverse backgrounds, conducting insightful interviews to understand the education sectors in their respective countries. This valuable knowledge has provided me with ideas on how to establish a thriving educational sector in Nigeria".

Nigeria Diaspora Forum Calls For Investigation of the Killing of Ebuka Nwoko In South Africa ...

Nigeria Diaspora Forum (NDF), Hon. Chike Amadichi said the recurring reports across the world
is so disheartening hence the fight for justice to put an end to the anomaly once and for all.

Hon. Amadichi stressed that the frequency of attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa have reached acrescendo hence the demand from Nigeria Diaspora Forum (NDF) for Nigerian Government to call the South African Government and her Police Force to put an end to the incidents before they generate into a “hunt and kill” exercise.

"The NDF is also putting the South African Authorities on notice as we demand a holistic and far-reaching addressing of the problem of recurring tortures and unlawful killings of Nigerians living in South Africa. The South African authorities must redeem their image and reputation and exonerate themselves from the rising suspicions of complicity in these serial injustices by serving justice. Appropriate compensation as stipulated by the relevant International Charters and local laws should also be awarded to the deceased family"

The NDF Country Director further decried that "South African Police have persistently been accused by eyewitnesses of ill-treatment and unlawful killings which have sometimes been done in the full glare of the public with very little deterrent", adding that the ill-treatment of Nigerians in South Africa has been seen as a norm to the extent that successive South African Governments does little or nothing to protect the lives and properties of Nigerans living in South Africa.

"We are the Nigerian Diaspora Forum, a Non-Governmental Organization founded by a group of Nigerians in the Diaspora with the primary aim of bettering the socio-economic lives of Nigerians in the Diaspora and in Nigeria.

"We are having this media briefing over the unlawful killing of late Mr. Ebuka Nwoko, a Nigerian aged 43, who was manhandled, brutalized, and killed in Danielskuil, Northern Cape, by the South African Police in the morning hours of May 17th, 2024.

"The Nigeria Diaspora Forum upon receiving the disheartening report on that fateful day from our team in South Africa, we swag into action as we did the first press release the next day in Nigeria, and on the 21st May 2024 we wrote a petition to the National Assembly address to the Honourable Speaker, Minister Foreign Affairs and the Chairman Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NiDCOM.

"We believe the core duty of the police across the world is the protection of lives and properties, but the incidences of unlawful torture and killings of Nigerians by the South African Police have sadly become a recurring event, as can be seen in the unlawful killings of Mr. Izuwa Nad, Mr. Pius Ezekwem and Uchenna Eloh and now the recent one Mr. Ebuka Nwoko", Hon Amadichi emphasized.

Hon. Amadichi seized the opportunity to commend the Chairman House Committee on Diaspora, Hon. Sir, Tochukwu Okere who swiftly acted on NDF petition and moved a motion in the floor of the House Representatives to investigate the unlawful killing of Mr Ebuka Nwoko among others.

"We believe the Nigerian Government will leave no stone unturned until Justice is served on this matter"

"Let me also use this opportunity to ask Nigerians all over the World to join NDF and feel free to express whatever challenges they face in Diaspora"

Soldiers killing: Gov otti ups bounty to N30m

Abi State Governor, Alex Otti has increased the N25 million bounty placed on the killers of five soldiers at Obikabia junction in Aba to N30 million.

Otti announced this on Friday when the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Hasan Abubakar, paid him a visit in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of the state.

This is coming barely a week after the governor vowed to give ₦25m to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.

On May 30, five soldiers were killed at Obikabia junction in Aba.

The attack was reportedly carried out by suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra in a bid to enforce sit-at-home.

The governor said that the increase in the bounty was necessary by an addition of N5 million by an indigene of the state based in the U.S.A.

“Interestingly, the government has placed a bounty of N25 million and just yesterday, an Abia son, who also comes from Obingwa and lives in the United States, sent us N5 million to upgrade the bounty to N30 million.

“So I am happy to announce that the bounty has just been upgraded to N30 million, to encourage anyone that will have useful information that will lead to the apprehension of the criminals,” he said.

Otti added that the state government had also started working with the security agencies to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the state.

He said that the government had been working round the clock to ensure that the state remained safe and secure.

The governor said, “We also want to thank the intelligence service of the DSS, as they dispatched quite some people here to help us to unravel this case.

“We are very single-minded about it. We must fish them out and ensure that they get the message that this place is a no-go area for terrorists, killers, kidnappers and other criminals.”
