By Ifreke Inyang  RELATED TOPICS: The Leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has warned that anyone who tries to arrest him will die. Kanu stated this in reaction to the call of the federal government, that his bail should be revoked. Nwamgbo blog He was granted bail on April 25, but the IPOB head has flouted all the bail conditions, prompting the calls for his arrest. Speaking on Sunday at Boys Technical College (BTC) in Aba, Abia state, Kanu paid tribute to those reportedly killed at National High School by security agencies. “Where we are, is Biafra Land. Aba is the spiritual capital of Biafra land. We started in Aba in 2015 at CKC (Christ the King Catholic Cathedral),” Kanu said. “That day, heaven authenticated our move that IPOB will restore Biafra and that’s what we’ve come to do.

According to them, the IPOB leader was granted bail on certain conditions, adding that if it was established that he had violated his bail conditions, it was up to court to decide.

He said, “Kanu is under bail with certain conditions, if those conditions were breached, it was right for the government to approach the court for decision. “The issue is purely judicial, and the Federal Government has taken the right step to address it, and current effort by tribal lords to politicise it is unfortunate “ On his part, a member of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Senator Joseph Waku, particularly called for the immediate detention of the IPOB leader.

By Godfrey BivbereFormer minister of Interior and Chairman of Integrated Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, Capt. Emmanuel Iheanacho, has said that the solution to the perennial traffic gridlock in Apapa is for the Federal Government to acquire old buildings around the port town and demolish them towards redesigning of the Lagos ports. Iheanacho explained that the terrible traffic situation in Apapa is not necessarily caused by the tank farms operating around the port or the activities in the port but government not matching the increase in the volume of business with the needed expansion. He warned that if the challenges are not addressed, tank farm operators might begin to have challenges in distribution of fuel across the country. He advised that a commission should be set up to cut across all port operators including shipping companies, regulators, customs and immigration among others.

By Levinus Nwabughiogu …Say call for Nnamdi Kanu’s re-arrest laughable ABUJA—Niger Delta agitators, yesterday, described the withdrawal of the quit notice issued to the Igbos resident in the North by a coalition of northern youth as an attempt to hoodwink Nigerians. They said that it was also laughable to announce the withdrawal alongside a call to revoke the bail conditions of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. Arewa Youths Rising from a meeting where they evaluated the developments, the agitators rejected the withdrawal of the notice in its entirety. They also accused the Federal Government and the northern governors of conniving with the Arewa youths in issuing the Igbo quit notice. In a statement after the meeting, the agitators maintained their earlier stance which demanded the departure of northerners and Yoruba of the South West from the Niger Delta region before October 1, 2017. Those who signed the statement included General John Duku (

By Dele Sobowale THE recent announcement by the Federal Minister of Finance of the government’s decision to refinance the country’s debt by borrowing dollars at seven per cent instead of locally at between 13 and 18.5 per cent would have been commendable if it was not just a mere paper exercise which would still not reduce the quantum of debt the country is owing. On paper it would reduce the cost of borrowing, but at maturity it would require the country to source for dollars to repay. Naira Unsaid by the Minister is the fact that the Federal government’s requirement for loans has almost totally squeezed out private sector borrowing and has driven up domestic interest rates beyond levels that are healthy for investment. At rates ranging from 25 to 40 per cent few companies can afford to borrow and survive. So, the shift to external borrowing was borne out of necessity which is always the mother of innovations. Interest rates abroad have always bee far lower than what obtains i

By Femi Falana Top officials of the federal government and the various state governments have continued to express concern over the growing wave of hate speeches in the country. To curb the menace, a new law is being proposed which will categorize hate speech as ‘terrorism’. At the last meeting of the National Economic Council it was agreed by the federal and state governments that a special court be established for the arrest and prosecution of purveyors of hate speeches, kidnapping and terrorist acts. Before further energies and resources are dissipated by the government on the enactment of a new hate speech law it is pertinent to point out that the country has enough laws to deal with the menace. What is however lacking is the political will to arrest and prosecute those who contravene the provisions of the relevant laws. For instance, the Kaduna State government has had cause to drag a journalist to court for allegedly exaggerating the number of people that were killed in Souther

By Joseph Erunke ABUJA —THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, explained, yesterday, that the decision by stakeholders in education sector to reduce tertiary institutions’ admission cut-off points, beginning with the 2017 academic calendar, was to stop the quest for foreign education by Nigerians. It also said the cut-off marks being condemned by the public, like in previous cases, were never strictly followed by most institutions. “Institutions were going behind to admit candidates with far less, with others admitting candidates who never sat for JAMB, “it said. The board, which queried the continuous controversies arising from the stakeholders’ action, blamed rising quest for foreign education to what it called “our policies and attitude to national values and deep concern for realistic benchmarks for national development. “Such and so many other poorly thought out policies have pushed our frustrated candidates out of Nigeria to developed and neighbouring

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that his parents and parents of his generation and those after him were demanded to be lawyers, Doctors, Engineers and Accountants, noting that their parents saw those professions bigger than every other profession like creative arts. The minister said this on Friday evening in Abuja at the opening of a 3-day photo exhibition titled “Vangi and Hanan’’.According to him, “the exhibition is an endorsement from the highest quarter that the creative industry is not for the dropouts, the less opportuned in the society, but an industry that attracts only the talented’’. He noted that it is quite rare for a young girl coming from a traditional conservative family to choose photography as a profession and way of life. “This particular exhibition is a game changer in the sense that it is going to help to change the perception of our people towards the creative industry. “For my generation, and even the generations after me,

By John Owen Nwachukwu  RELATED TOPICS: First Republic politician, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, has reacted to the marching order given to Service Chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari to crush Biafra agitators. The former Aviation Minister said the order was superficial and biased as it focuses on the utterances and activities of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, but remains mute to those of other ethnic groups that clearly violated Nigerian laws. He spoke to Sun, saying “If I wake up and say, I would go and blow up Aso Rock, would I be arrested, or when I march to Aso Rock fully armed? “Why the focus on Nnamdi Kanu, what of the other Arewa yoths who are committing similar or more grievous offences? What has been done to them? “If Kanu breaks the law, let him be punished, not when he is unarmed and just making statement that his people are not being treated fairly. “What Kanu is saying is that Igbo want to go, if you don’t agree with him, put it to

By Dr. Ugoji Egbujo It’s not impossible Lord Lugard is laughing in his grave. It’s not often that a man’s selfish and commercial adventure come to be venerated as a moral ideal. When he strapped the southern and northern protectorates together in 1914, he did it to meet British colonial interests. Now he must be a god. That fruit of adventurous imperialism, that contraption for commercial exploitation, that accidental union, has become a non negotiable union. Well, they could say he wasn’t ingenuous. After all, most African countries were carved out by the restless greed of colonial masters. But we are very religious. So they could say, it was God who fashioned it. Then they would say there is strength in size and diversity. And the prudent would add, that re-negotiations and breakdowns could be explosive and costly. They will always point to Rwanda, their bogey man. Then we will be told that the consensus is that we must live together. Rwanda didn’t teach them more. The authority for

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened to call for the scrapping of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) if it failed to reverse the low cut off points for admission into universities and polytechnics. NANS National Public Relations Officer, Bestman Okereafor, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu on Saturday. He said if the demand of the association, the most important stakeholder in the education sector was not met in reasonable time, it would call for the scrapping of JAMB. “Conclusively NANS will not hesitate to call for the scrapping of JAMB if the decision is not withdrawn without further delay. “The national leadership of the apex students governing body, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), frowned at the drastic reduction of the JAMB unified cut off mark to 120, for admission into Nigeria universities. “NANS sees this as a means of further degrading the level of the already falling and failing ac

group, Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB), has dared the Federal Government of Nigeria to attempt to re-arrest its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB’s challenge came as a response to an appeal by Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, asking for the revocation of a court order that granted bail to Mr. Kanu. The minister also advocated the re-arrest and detention of the IPOB leader pending the determination of the charges against him. The Attorney General cited Mr. Kanu’s violation of his bail conditions as one of the major reasons the secessionist agitator should be arrested. Reacting to the minister’s position, IPOB accused the Federal Government of playing politics, adding that Mr. Kanu could never be rearrested. The group also vowed that many tragic events would happen if Nigerian authorities ever rearrested the IPOB leader. “IPOB is not doing anything about the order of [the Federal Government] through the Attorney General to revoke [a] court order a
