Obasanjo returns to school at 77, eyes PhD in Christian Theology
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo will today formally enrol as a graduate student at the headquarters of the National Open University of Nigeria in Lagos.
He is returning to the classroom for a higher degree in Christian Theology.
Having obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in 2009, the Owu-born high chief will now be working towards a doctorate degree, beginning first with a Masters degree.
“I’m going back to school because I need something to aspire to in every endeavour of life”, he explained
“I always aspire to something new in my farm. I do that in my international activities. I do it in my writing. I do it in the improvement of my academic work which helps to sharpen my brain and strengthen my faith.”
On combining his studies with his tight international engagements, the former Nigerian leader said he would take advantage of the flexibility of the Open University’s system.
The National Open University was initially established in 1983 but was suspended by the then military government in 1984. Obasanjo resuscitated it in 2001.
In November 2006, a few months to the end of his eight-year tenure, the then president enrolled for a post graduate diploma in Christian Theology at the university.
He graduated in January 2009.

Man tried to commit suicide inside Synagogue church to prove T.B Joshua is a true prophet
Speaking on the the misrepresentation of the church building collapse tragedy, Emeakayi said the man suddenly tried to jump down from the gallery of the church which would have immediately killed him upon landing. Asked why he'd tried to jump, the young man supposedly said he wanted to show that he believed prophet T.B Joshua. Emeakayi argued that if the man had succeeded in the suicide attempt, the story would have been reported differently.
Emeakayi also said what happened on September 12th was a controlled demolition. He maintained the aircraft they claimed hovered around the church building four times triggered off the detonation of some explosives
"We are investigating the incident for the world to know what actually happened. When you look at the clip you will see that it was not just the aircraft hovering. At the point of the incident, there was explosion. It is possible they were either dropped or planted and the aircraft will have to come and detonate it. The persons in the building said that the noise they heard suggested that it was an explosion. Those involved in the act may not have been aware of the security cameras. With modern technologies explosive devices could be detonated without a loud noise. There were about four explosives that were detonated in the building from the much the CCTv could capture and because we know that there would be fragments from the explosive, we are calling for an investigation” he said.

10 Nigerian pilgrims die in Mecca
No fewer than ten Nigerians in Saudi Arabia currently performing this year’s hajj rites have been reported dead.
Coordinator of the National Hajj Commission in Mecca, Aliyu Tanko made this known on Monday.
According to Tanko, over 50,000 Nigerian pilgrims have so far arrived Mecca with virtually all them having performed the Umrah rites.
The coordinator, however, advised pilgrims to always seek medical advice before embarking on pilgrimage, warning them against exposing themselves to the harsh weather in the Holy Land.
Tanko said that the commission’s three clinics in Mecca and those set up by the various state pilgrims boards provide effective medical services to Nigerian pilgrims in Mecca

I know nothing about $9.3m; my jet is not a gift from Jonathan – Ortisejafor
The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, ( CAN) Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has finally spoken on the controversial $9.3m smuggled into South Africa by two Nigerians and an Israeli, using his private jet.
He broke his silence during the National Executive Council meeting of CAN on Monday at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
The CAN leader said he had kept quiet all the while, because he needed to explain his position to the church which is his primary constituency.
Addressing the body, he said: “As you are all aware, the media has been awash in the past few days about an unfortunate incident involving the movement of funds from Nigeria to South Africa. In the unfortunate news reports, attempts have been made to link me directly with the transaction.
“So far, I have refrained from making any direct public response pending the time that I would have briefed the leaders of the church and explained my position on the issues to them.
“I believe that the primary institution that I owe any explanation to is the church.
“The aircraft was presented to me as a gift by members of our congregation and ministry partners worldwide at my 40th anniversary of my call into the ministry.
“May I be permitted to stress that the aircraft was not given to me by the President of Nigeria, neither was it a settlement for any political favour or patronage.
“With the benefit of hindsight, the President of the country was a guest in our church during the anniversary celebration when the jet was presented to me.”
On why he commercialised the jet, he explained that: “In order to ameliorate the cost of maintenance of the aircraft, I sought and got permit to allow the aircraft fly in and out of Nigeria.”
“Based on this, I leased the aircraft on August 2, 2014 to a company to run it. It was the lease that entered into an agreement with the people who carried out the transfer of funds.
“Having leased the aircraft to the Green Coast Produce Company Limited, any transaction undertaken with the aircraft can no longer be attached to me.
“In as much as I am shocked and distressed by the incident, I wish to appeal to Christians in Nigeria to remember that a war has been waged against the Nigerian church. This war is being fought on many fronts and this unfortunate incident is another dimension in the assault against the church.
“It is clear that those who manipulated this conspiracy desire to create a schism in the church.”
Oritsejafor said the media hype and the deliberate distortion of information that followed it confirmed that forces that desperately desire to cause division and disunity in the church were at work.
Continuing he said, “As Christians, we need unity in the church now more than ever. We are witnessing inhuman attacks by religious extremists against Christians in the northern part of the country, while christian infrastructure is being destroyed in hundreds.
“If we permit the enemy to divide us, our chances of corporate survival shall be severely threatened.
“Distinguished leaders of the church, please permit me to state clearly before God and before all of you here present today, that I am not a party to the movement of $9.3m from Nigeria to South Africa to purchase arms and ammunition. I am not part of the deal. I know nothing about it.”
The CAN President commended the Catholic Church for its support, particularly in refuting a distorted news item by mischievous elements in the media.
He appealed to heads of blocks that constitute CAN and heads of denominations and Christian leaders at different levels to use their good offices to caution and control their subordinates and followers from making public statements that will further polarise the church and strengthen the arms of the enemies of the church.
Quoting Matthew Chapter 18 verses 15 to 20, Oritsejafor said, “If I offend you or you offend me, instead of talking to media, let us talk to each other within the house of God”.

Ini Edo’s marriage allegedly crashes, husband returns bride price
New reports surfacing online allege that actress Ini Edo’s marriage has crashed.
Ini Edo, who got married to her American based business man, Phillip in 2008, allegedly walked out of the marriage weeks ago following accusations of domestic violence and cheating.
“A close friend of the actress squealed that the marriage broke down due to very strong allegations of ‘serial cheating with evidence’ but that the couple who are pretending to still be in talking terms might cite irreconcilable differences.
“The source alleged that Phillips Ehiagwina demanded to have back the bride price he paid to marry Ini Edo and his wishes were granted by her people”, Celebrity Blogger Stella Dimokokorkus reported.
The actress is currently in Makurdi, Benue State shooting a movie.

60 soldiers face trial for mutiny today
Another
set of 60 soldiers are to be arraigned before a General Court Martial
by military authorities in Abuja on Tuesday (today) for mutiny.
The soldiers allegedly committed mutiny on August 4, 2014 by refusing to join troops in Maiduguri for “an operation.”
Their arraignment which is to take place at the Sani Abacha Barracks in Abuja comes as The PUNCH
gathered on Monday that some of the 12 soldiers convicted on September
15, 2014 by the GCM had notified the Court of Appeal of their intention
to challenge their sentences.
The GCM headed by Brig. Gen. C.
Okonkwo had sentenced 12 out of 18 soldiers facing trial guilty of
mutiny among other offences and sentenced them to death. Five of them
were however discharged and acquitted and one sentenced to 28 days’
imprisonment with hard labour and reprimand.
The soldiers were charged with mutiny
among other offences, including attacking the former General Officer
Commanding the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army, Ahmed Mohammed.
A copy of the charge sheet filed against the 60 soldiers was obtained by The PUNCH in Abuja on Monday.
The charge sheet revealed that the
soldiers, comprising two corporals, nine lance corporals and 49
privates, are to be arraigned on two counts of conspiracy to commit
mutiny and mutiny.
The accused allegedly committed the offences at the Mulai Primary School, opposite African Independent Television
in Maiduguri, Borno State on August 4, 2014 by refusing to join “111 SF
Bn troops” led by Col. E.A. Aladeniyi to Maimalari Barracks in
connection with an operation.
According to the charge sheet, they
“conspired to commit mutiny against the authority of 7 Division,” an
offence said to be punishable under Section 91(1) of the Penal Code Cap
P89 LFN 2004.
The soldiers were also accused of
committing mutiny which is said to be punishable under Section 52(1)(a)
of the AFA CAP A20 LFN 2004.
The charges are said to be triable in
the GCM under Section 114 of the AFA Cap A20 LFN 2004 and punishable
under Section 91(1) of the Penal Code Cap P89 LFN 2004.
The two corporals are Andrew Ogolekwu and Saturday Efa.
The charge sheet reads, “Count One:
Criminal conspiracy to commit mutiny triable by the General Court
Martial by virtue of Section 114 of the AFA Cap A20 LFN 2004 and
punishable under section 91(1) of the Penal Code Cap P 89 LFN 2004.
“Particulars of offence: In that you at
Mulai Primary School Camp opposite AIT Maiduguri on or about 4 August
2014 conspired to commit mutiny against the authority of 7 Division.
“Count 2: Mutiny contrary to and punishable under section 52(1)(a) of the AFA CAP A20 LFN 2004.
“Particulars of offence: In that you at
Mulai Primary School Camp opposite AIT Maiduguri on or about 4 August
2014 refused to join 111 SF BN troops led by Col. E.A. Aladeniyi
(N/9695) to Maimalari Barracks in connection with an operation.”
Indications had emerged on Sunday that
lawyers seeking to file an appeal challenging the conviction of some of
the 12 soldiers by the GCM had not been able to have access to them.
There were reports that the convicted
soldiers had been moved from the Defence Headquarters Garrison, Abuja to
a detention facility at the Directorate of Defence Intelligence, Lagos.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief
Godwin Obla, who brought the process of appeal on behalf of three of
the convicted soldiers, said his chambers had made unsuccessful
attempts to get in touch with them without success.
The soldiers are Iganmu Emmanuel, Steven Clement and Andrew Ngbede.
Obla told one of our correspondents on
the telephone that the military did not volunteer information on where
the convicts were being kept.
He said that the inability to locate
them had hampered the completion of the appeal process as they had not
been available to sign some documents required for the appeal.
The SAN said, “We have been trying to
get them (the soldiers) to sign for the process; and because we have not
been able to get them, we have not been able to complete the process;
there are things for them to sign.
“Nobody has been able to tell us where
they are being kept; nobody is volunteering information; nobody has been
able to tell us where they are.
“We are just hearing that they have been moved to the Directorate of Military Intelligence Cell in Lagos.
“We will make the move so that the process would be filed on their behalf.”
Obla also said that the filing process
at the Court of Appeal had not been completed because the findings
against and the sentencing of the soldiers by the GCM had not been
promulgated and communicated to them.
He said that the filing could only be
made after the findings and the verdict of the court martial had been
promulgated and communicated to them.
Obla said, “The findings and sentence by
the General Court Martial need to be promulgated and it is to be
communicated to the convicts. It has not been communicated to them.
“It is after the findings and the sentence have been communicated to the convicts that the filing can be made.”
A lawyer from Obla’s law firm, Mr.
Enokela Onyilo-Uloko, said that the law firm of a former President
of the Senate, Chief Amah Ebute, was handling the defence of six of
the convicted soldiers.
He listed those being represented by
Ebute’s law firm as Jasper Braidolor, Friday Onuh, Alao Samuel, Linus
Alan, Ifeanyi Alukagbe and Amadi Chukwudi.
He said, “Nine of the soldiers are
already before the Court of Appeal; the appeals are within time; we are
awaiting the hearing date from the Court of Appeal.
“A motion for Stay of Execution is being filed to make sure they don’t tamper with them.”
When The PUNCH sought to know
from the Director of Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Olajide
Laleye, if the conviction of the soldiers had been confirmed by the
Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah, he said he was not
aware.
“I am not aware if the judgment has been confirmed or not; I don’t have that information,” Laleye said
The PUNCH had reported on
Friday that the Army might soon arraign 13 soldiers for cowardice and
failure to obey orders from their superiors to advance at the (war)
front.
The soldiers were said to have been
directed to join their counterparts at the 7 Division, entrusted with
the responsibility of coordinating the ongoing counter-terrorism
operation in the North-East early in the year.

Na wa oooo...Another church building collapses in Edo state
A building belonging to Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state, collapsed yesterday September 28th.
According to reports, the incident happened shortly after members of the church left the building after the close of service. No life was lost.
The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, told reporters that the building collapsed because it was not properly built...
“The storm that followed the rain was much but I have been complaining about the building structure. The pastor built the church like a fence, no pillar. The block is just ordinary sand. I have been telling him that no pillar would cause the building to collapse. The building fell on my building and damaged many things. I thanked God that nobody died. When the pastor came, he was concerned about the musical instrument in his church and thanked God that his church members were not around when the building fell. I had to call the police. The building has already cracked and I have been warning the pastor that the building will collapse.” he said

Boko Haram looting our armoury – DHQ
The
Defence Headquarters has said that it was aware that members of the
outlawed Islamist sect, Boko Haram, were in the habit of looting its
armoury.
The military authorities stated that
they were making efforts to secure all armouries in its various
formations across the country.
Director of Defence Information, Maj.
Gen. Chris Olukolade, made the disclosure during his first real-time
Twitter chat which held on Sunday night.
The army general was, however, not
categorical about the grades of weapons just as he did not name the
armouries that have so far been looted by the insurgents.
“We are taking measures to ensure that
our armouries are secured. We agree and are aware Boko Haram has stolen
arms,” Olukolade said while responding to an inquiry by one of the
participants of the Twitter chat.
The Defence spokesman explained that the
military high command frowned on the proliferation of arms, noting that
inter-agency cooperation had recently been heightened to contain the
menace.
According to Olukolade, the policing of
Nigerian borders with other West African neighbours have been
repositioned in view of the security threats posed by the Boko Haram
insurgents.
“Interagency collaboration has been
heightened; from all indications policing of our borders has increased.
Our strategic information-sharing policy considers transparency,
security, propriety and accuracy in reporting to the public,” he added.
Warning that the military would deal
decisively with saboteurs among its officers and men engaged in the
ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North East, Olukolade said
the service chiefs were “monitoring all personnel both in the frontline
and rear”, adding that “suspicious people are being vetted.”
Dismissing the insinuation that top
military commanders were feeding large on the entitlements of the rank
and file of the armed forces, the military spokesman argued that the
quality of food being provided for the officers and men at the
battlefront are the same.
He claimed that the welfare package for the slain officers and men who die on the battlefield was attractive.
“The food they (officers and men) eat is
within standards and best diet design as practicable. All eat the same
food, be it officers or soldiers.
“By the way, there are two levels of
insurance covering all soldiers and men involved in the anti-terror war.
There is the Personnels’ Service Arm insurance, the Defence
Headquarters Insurance package which is different from the gratuity,
death benefits and children scholarships. On honour for slain soldiers,
we do give due and befitting burials,” Olukolade said.
According to him, since Shekau has been
killed by the military forces, the Armed Forces would remain focused by
maintaining the tempo of “firepower to ensure that we sweep them (Boko
Haram) off their nuisance hotspots.”
Insisting that the Defence Headquarters
would not concede any portion of Nigeria to terrorists, Olukolade said
the surveillance and air operations were ongoing with a view to exerting
control and ensure minimum collateral damage.
Olukolade further said that the Nigerian
Armed Forces were better armed, responsive and service oriented when
placed in comparison with their Cameroonian counterparts.
“We welcome input from allies. It still
remains our duty to get best results for our people. We are exchanging
ideas and intelligence.
“We have a Nigerian-led Multinational Joint Task Force particularly on the Lake Chad Basin area. Cameroon is inactive in this.
“Any campaign to suggest that our Army is weaker than Boko Haram, Cameroon’s or any other force is a campaign against Nigeria.
“There is so much eagerness to discredit us and make us bow psychologically. I am working for my country. No denials.
“They are trying to pitch the soldiers against the leadership. Any military that loses leadership is doomed for the nation.
“Officers are paid to manage soldiers. Civilians can’t control them. Anarchy looms if authority loses grip.”
Olukolade added that there was no time frame to putting an end to the insurgency as terrorism is usually a long fight.
He, thereafter, warned the media against what he described as the undermining of structures.
“This is not the time to prove that the
pen is mightier than the sword. Nigerian media should not undermine
structures. We appeal to foreign and the local press to be circumspect
and be consistent with democracy and public interests.
“We agree that there is such a need to
review its (military) communication mechanism and we have engaged with
various stakeholders to maintain robust counter-terrorist
communications,” he said

Tinubu calls for revolution
A
former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says there is a
need for the country to undergo a “common sense” revolution.
Tinubu, who is a national leader of the
All Progressives Congress said the many years of misrule by successive
Peoples Democratic Party presidents had continued to sink the country
further into crisis.
The former governor said this in a statement titled ‘A Return to Decency’, on Monday.
He described the 16 years of PDP rule at the federal level as a period of steady decline into disaster.
He said, “The longer they rule, the less
benefit the people derive. Nigeria now needs a ‘common sense
revolution,’ a revolution that calls forth a return to decency, probity,
transparency of process and fairness in outcome.
“This is done not by subterfuge, divide
and rule and turning Nigeria in a field of discord or a street of broken
institutions. It is accomplished by honouring the principles of
democratic good governance and economic justice. It is done by
persuading the people they are better off as one instead of better off
tearing at one another’s throats.
“Nigerians should be prepared for
change. We must rescue Nigeria from those set to cause it irreparable
harm. The change I talk about is the only route to our deliverance from
16 years of the PDP locusts. Nigeria is ours to keep and its democracy
is ours to save.”
He advised that this year’s Independence
Day should be a time of sober reflection because other countries that
received independence at the same time as Nigeria had since surpassed
the country.
He described the Nigeria of today as the
nightmare of its founding fathers. Tinubu further berated the PDP-led
Federal Government of using religion to divide Nigerians.
He said, “We commemorate this
Independence Day because the nation has survived despite its many
challenges. We dare not celebrate because the nation has not flourished
as it should. Fifty four years our national trek began with hope and
promise, peace and unity.
“Today, the nation staggers beneath the
weight of trouble multiplied by hardship. Peace and unity seem to have
yielded the moment to violence and discord. We exist as a political unit
on a map but we do not prosper as brothers and sisters in one nation,
under one flag and pursuant to one accord.”
“Never has an elected government in
Nigeria employed religion as a tool to divide the people, setting
Nigerian brother against brother in a manner that allows this
administration to function at the basest level of governance while
seeking to establish a political domination that seeks no greater
purpose than its self-perpetuation.”
He described attempts to stigmatise and
physically intimidate the APC and the militarisation of elections as
features of a perverse democracy.
He described President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda as an avenue to siphon funds through a dubious blueprint.
“They do not have a national blueprint
or vision. They do have a blueprint and vision for excessive
self-enrichment. Their equation is simple: You work, they feast. You
toil, they grow fat. You seek a decent wage; they pilfer the collective
treasury to enjoy a king’s ransom,” he said.
He said rather than promote religious
tolerance and harmonious living, Jonathan’s government believes its
electoral chances are enhanced by promoting ethnicism, internal
divisions and religious suspicion but “successful nations are not built
this way, have we not learned the lesson that we paid the high price of
civil war to learn.”

He disclosed further that arrangements were already in progress to fly Mr. Hashim’s remains from Abuja for burial at about 2 p.m. in Kano.
The source also disclosed that the emirate council is yet to get the official cause of the death of the deceased because all they knew prior to his death was that he travelled to Abuja.
