mawunmi shares experience working with Angelique Kidjo

On January 29, 20162:52 amIn Entertainment, NewsComments

SHE may not make the list of top Nigerian songstresses at the moment, but vocal power house, Omawunmi has relaunched her career. The music sensation is back with a new song titled Play na play, which she features legendary singer, Angelique Kidjo.

In a recent interview, she describes her experience working with this music legend as refreshing and memorable.
“She is so good at what she does. Mama Angelique that is what I call her. She doesn’t have any airs. She is playful, fun and very hygienic. She sings effortlessly. When she was recording I was just in awe. I was just saying: “I want to be slim like this”, I want to be energetic when I am her age,” she said.
Narrating how difficult it was to reach out to her, Omawunmi said, “It was difficult to get her, but it wasn’t difficult the moment I reached her. With the help of my manager, he got in touch with her through someone else that also doubles as a booking agent for me. It was like a dream come true for me. When I was shooting with Angelique at some point I started crying I couldn’t believe it. It was like a real honour for me” she reveals.

Ikorodu Utd ‘ll be Nigeria’s Leicester City — Edema

orodu Utd ‘ll be Nigeria’s Leicester City — Edema

On January 29, 201612:51 amIn News, SportsComments

By Jacob Ajom
Head coach of Ikorodu United Football Club of Lagos, Edema Benson has declared that his wards are battle ready for the new Globacom Premier League season due to kick off next month. Speaking to Sports Vanguard at the club’s launch in Ikorodu yesterday, the former Nigeria international who guided the team to promotion within a season said, “we are aware of the challenge ahead of us and I will say without equivocation that we are ready. This is our first season in the top flight but we are not scared of any team as big names don’t play football.”
Drawing inspiration from what is happening in the Barclays Premier League, where a relatively ‘small’ club, Leicester City is topping the table at the moment, Benson said, “we want to replicate what Leicester City is doing in England here in Nigeria. We played Enyimba in Otta a few days back, it was tough for them as we drew the game 2-2. We are not going into the league as second rate. We will justify our place in the Premier League as worthy representatives of the good people of Lagos state, and Ikorodu in particular.”
Benson showered encomiums on his players as he recalled their struggle for promotion: “The beginning was not easy. We lost the opening game and from then on we never looked back again.”

Emenike undergoes Hammers medical

Emmanuel Emenike is expected to undergo a medical today at West Ham United ahead of a loan move to Upton Park.
West Ham have agreed a deal with Fenerbahce to take Emenike, 28, on loan for the rest of the season, with the view to a permanent move.
The potential move had been held up because it needed the agreement of Fenerbahce and Al Ain as the Nigerian had been on loan at the latter.
Al Ain agreed to cut short his season-long loan deal to allow him to return to Fenerbahce so that he could then make the switch to West Ham.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is looking to add to his striking options before the close of the transfer window with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho on the sidelines.
Emenike has already agreed personal terms with West Ham and should he pass his medical he will become their second signing of this month’s transfer window after Sam Byram’s arrival from Leeds United.
“Now we are waiting to see if it is going to be today, tomorrow or not,” Bilic was quoted as saying by the Daily Star.
In October, Emenike, who was top scorer as Nigeria won the Africa Nations Cup in 2013, announced his retirement from international football.

Conway fire shuts down part of S.C. 544 for more than an hour.

Horry County Fire Rescue, reinforced by other area departments, respond to a mobile home fire off Kings Road in Conway on Thursday. One woman was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and a dog was saved from the flames.

CONWAY

One woman was taken to the hospital and a section of S.C. 544 in Conway was closed for an hour Thursday as Horry County Fire Rescue firefighters battled a home fire.

Crews were dispatched at 1:04 p.m. Thursday to the fully involved structure fire at 1011 Kings Road, according to Justin Gibbins, assistant fire chief. The fire appeared to be electrical and started in an addition of the home, according to reports.

S.C. 544 was closed for about an hour because a water supply line crossed the highway, and firefighters reopened northbound lanes to traffic around 2 p.m., Gibbins said. Southbound lanes were closed for another hour while crews removed the water supply line.

One woman was taken to Conway Medical Center for smoke inhalation and was in stable condition Thursday afternoon. Two adults – including the woman taken to the hospital – and one child are displaced because of the fire and the American Red Cross is assisting them, Gibbins said.

Horry County Fire Rescue initially responded to the fire and was assisted by the Conway Fire and Myrtle Beach Fire departments, Gibbins said. Responding crews called for additional help because of the size of the fire and the fact that the closest fire hydrant was across the street, he said.

Myrtle Beach Fire provided an ambulance and another engine, and the Conway department provided three extra crews, Gibbins said.

Crews had to use a fire hydrant on the opposite side of S.C. 544, which is why both lanes of traffic were shut down for about an hour, Gibbins said.

“We had to have extra units to block the road and prevent cars from driving over our supply hose, which did cause a disturbance to traffic,” he said.

The S.C. Highway Patrol let some Conway-bound traffic through by diverting it through a parking lot, Gibbins said, to ease the congestion as much as possible.

Gladys Allen, the aunt of the homeowner, said she was having lunch when she got the call about the fire. Allen was eating with her brother, who is the father of the woman taken to the hospital.

“She was just too upset to tell us anything, really,” Allen said. “She just said her house was burning.”

The mobile home was about 50 percent engulfed when firefighters arrived and there is “extensive” damage inside the house, Gibbins said. The fire most likely started on the back porch, which had been converted to a bedroom, he said.

A neighbor removed one pet from the home before firefighters arrived and officials don’t believe there are any deceased pets from the fire, Gibbins said. Officials were able to save some items from the home – including several guns – and everyone made it out safely.

“We were able to save a lot of the property from the interior of the house,” Gibbins said.

ow salary crisis is holding Ahmed’s Kwara hostage

How salary crisis is holding Ahmed’s Kwara hostage

On January 29, 20161:49 amIn News, PoliticsComments

By Demola Akinyemi
THESE are not the best of times for the administration of Abdulfatah Ahmed in Kwara State as a result of its failure to be up to date with the payment of salaries.
Virtually all the civil servants in the state have not been paid in the last five months, leading to industrial action embarked upon by the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE.
The leadership of the union has vowed not to return to work unless the state government pays the accumulated wages.
Advocacy meeting
In a chat with Vanguard, Secretary of NULGE, Comrade Abayomi A?folabi, noted that the strike would remain until the needful is done by the state government.
The worst hit is the education sector where both primary and post- primary schools have remained closed, resulting in discontent among parents and guardians.
Worried about the situation, 16 Local Government chairmen in the state under the aegis of Association of Local Government Council of Nigeria, ALGON, and the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, convened an advocacy meeting among stakeholders to find a solution to the impasse.
The forum was also aimed at sensitising the public about the factors responsible for the crisis and as well plead that they return to work.
To achieve their aim, the chairmen, who visited the three senatorial districts in the state, also made a stop at the palace of the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari.
While appealing to the Emir to prevail on workers to return to work, the chairmen disclosed that all revenue alternatives had been utilised without success.

From the state council of chiefs also came the call for synergy between the state government and the leadership of the labour unions in order to find amicable solution to the problem.
The traditional rulers, after their meeting, urged the ?state government to ensure that the welfare of its workers at all levels remain paramount as soon as the financial status of the state improves.
This among others was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting of all the traditional rulers in the state.
Held at the Emir’s Palace and attended by members of the traditional council, representatives of all local governments and the leadership of the labour unions, the gathering was aimed at deliberating on the protracted funding challenges facing the state.
The communiqué reads: “Given the need to forestall any impending strike actions that may occur and in view of the fact that the masses are terribly affected by the paucity of fund to pay workers, it is therefore pertinent to appraise the entire gamut of the issue with a view to contributing to what may become succour to the problems.
“The council notes that the inability of both the state and local governments to presently provide adequate funds for the payment of salaries and allowances and meet other commitments of governance, at rates commensurate with past provisions, had arisen due to the drastic fall in the statutory allocation from the Federation Account.”
Statutory allocation
“The Internally Generated Revenue by both the state and local governments has not been adequate to bridge the funding gap noting that the newly established Kwara State Internal Revenue Service will assist in curbing leakages and enhance revenue base of the state.
“The council observed that the workers are entitled to their salaries because it is a right and not a privilege.
“We sympathise with the state government for not having enough money for their projects and to satisfy the needs of the people but appeal to the Kwara State government and the 16 Local Government Chairmen to continue to explore all avenues for stabilizing the situation.
“After an exhaustive discussion with the leadership of the labour unions, they have agreed to convince their members to call off the strike and further resolve that we should work to ensure that subsequent salaries are regularly paid as and when due.
“The one month salary arrears must be paid before the commencement of the bio-metrics exercise and to also urge the government to review the number of emoluments of political office holders? at both state and local government levels as their status cannot be compared to those of the civil servants.
“The state government is also urged to urgently set up a committee to address the issue of ghost workers and pensioners at the local government areas.’’
On its part, the state government had earlier convened a similar forum in Ilorin where it pleaded for patience over the paucity of funds in the state.
Paucity of funds
The Commissioner for Finance Alhaji Nurudeen Banu, who led the government delegation, had hectic time explaining the situation.
Those present include leaders of NULGE, Nigeria Union of Teachers , NUT, pensioners, health workers and market women among others .
Banu told the gathering : “The state was collecting N3.4billion before the fall of the prices of crude oil in the international market but now it has reduced to N1.4billion every month.
“Apart from this, the Internally Generated Revenue is N200million every month while the Excess Crude fund is N400million every month but this cannot resolve the current precarious financial situation in Kwara State.”
“Our monthly wage bill is N2.4billion and this is a serious deficit to the state government in view of the N1.4billion we collect as federal allocation.”
While appealing for patience Banu urged the stakeholders to come out with facts that would help the state out of the present financial logjam.
Proffering solutions, the NUT called on the state governor and other political office holders to forfeit their security votes and other fringe benefits pending the time the economy of the state improves.
This, they said would also help the state to meet its financial commitments to workers.

According to him, the need to ensure good governance within the political class, economic empowerment for the economically weak individuals in the area, and moral resuscitation of the youths, were part of the driving force for the formation of the group.

Senate to pass budget February 25

By Our Reporter on January 28, 2016 Politics

From Fred Itua, Abuja
CHAIRMAN of the Appropriation Committee in the Senate, Danjuma Goje, said yesterday the Upper Legistative Chamber would pass the 2016 national budget on February 25.
The Senate concluded week-long debate on the budget yesterday. It suspended plenary to allow the standing committees of the Red Chamber fine-tune the document while summoning the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to come forward and defend their estimates. They have two weeks to do so.
Briefing reporters after plenary, Senator Goje re-echoed the earlier position of the Senate leadership to pass the budget on February 25.
“The Senate has just concluded the debate on the general principles of the 2016 budget and has been referred to Appropriation Committee for necessary action,” Goje said, adding that, “the committee will send circulars to all other committees which are seen as sub-committees.”
Goje said: “The committees are expected to commence public hearing on the budget from various departments and agencies immediately. Two weeks from tomorrow (today) will be devoted for budget defence. That is till February 11.
“The next process will be concluded on February 18 and that will be handled by the Appropriation Committee. We are expected to lay our committee report of the budget on Wednesday, February 24, 2016. The Senate will pass it on Thursday, February 25, 2016.
“This will give the Federal Government 10-month period to implement the budget. We want a departure from the past where implementation is delayed. This is a government of change and we want to do things differently.
“Plenary will be suspended for two weeks to allow for committees to meet with the various government agencies,” he said.
According to a breakdown of the timetable, the meeting of sub-committees on Appropriation with MDAs will take place from today, January 28 till February 11.
Meanwhile, the Presidency has hailed the smooth consideration of the 2016 budget and its passage for Second Reading.
Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, told correspondents that President Muhammadu Buhari was pleased with the bipartisan consideration of the budget.

CHAN 2016: Oliseh under pressure to quit Eagles

By Our Reporter on January 28, 2016 Sports

BY JOE APU
SUPER Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has said he is under pressure to quit Nigeria coaching job following the dismal performance of the team at the African Nations championship in Rwanda.
Oliseh, according to ripples.com.ng yesterday revealed that he was receiving pressure from friends and family to quit the job and focus on his health, stressing that he hoped to meet and discuss with his family before taking his final decision.
The Eagles defeated Niger 4-I in their opening game, managed a 1-1 with Tunisia before losing 1-0 to Guinea to crash out of the competition.
Meanwhile, his foreign based players had threatened to boycott Nigeria’s next match against Egypt in March.
The Eagles will battle Egypt in a double header in the 2017 Nations Cup qualifier billed for March but the precarious position the team found itself made the quest for the ticket more difficult.
“The players are very angry that their last match bonuses have not been paid since their last game against Swaziland on November 17, 2015 and have promised not to show up for subsequent matches,” an official of the team informed Ripples Nigeria.
It would be recalled that the CHAN Eagles who just crashed out of the African Nations Championship also lamented the non-payment of match bonus and camp allowance since December. After beating Niger 4-1 in their opening game, the League Management Company (LMC), operators of the Nigeria Professional Football League handed a cash gift of $10 000 to the 23 players and officials in Kigali.
However, Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye when contacted in Rwanda said there was no truth in the story. “There’s no truth in that story. Please discountenance it. How can anyone be spreading such rumour when Coach Oliseh is already working out plans for the match against Egypt. That online story is unrealiable.”

Enugu horror: 5 human skeletons discovered at building site 1

Enugu horror: 5 human skeletons discovered at building site

By Our Reporter on January 28, 2016 National

Keke riders identify victims, demand justice

From Petrus Obi, Enugu
APART from three bodies of keke riders exhumed from the foundation of a building at Ugwuaji, in Enugu State, fresh revelations indicated that five human skeletons were also excavated from the site.
An eyewitness who participated in the search, but declined to be named, reiterated to Daily Sun yesterday that in addition to the three bodies recovered from the foundation of the building, skeletons, as well as female bags were recovered from the site.
“We even saw some female bags at that scene, which suggests that some women must have also fallen victims,” he disclosed.
Meanwhile, Tricycle Riders’ Association, popularly knows as ‘keke riders’, yesterday identified three of the victims in the suspected ritual killing as their members.
Chairman of the union, Ikah Benjamin Ejimofor, who led executive members of the association on a condolence visit to the Enugu Central Mosque at Asata Enugu, described the gruesome murder of the keke riders as “most wicked and despicable.”
He gave names of the victims as Babangida Sale, Ashahabu Dauda and Ismahil Abdulahi.
On Monday, three dead bodies were exhumed from the foundation of a building project, located along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.
Ejiofor, who fought back tears as he spoke, described the killing as most barbaric and against the principles of life.
“Our members render important service to the society and it is so bad that the same people we serve should turn back to treat us this way.
“We are grieved so much over this colossal loss and, that is why we are here to commiserate with the Hausa community in Enugu. We are, indeed, in this tragedy together. We are so much pained.”
Giving insight into the incident, he said the keke riders left their different units on Saturday but never returned, adding that, “a search party was later organised and that is the result of what we saw on Monday.
“At this moment, our plea to security agents is that this evil should not go unpunished; no stone should be left untouched in a bid to bring the perpetrators of this dastardly act to book.
“We cannot categorically say whether they were killed for ritual or not, because, even their tricycles have not been found; so, we are leaving that aspect for security agents to unravel. ”
He advised keke riders to, henceforth, stop picking people to drop them in isolated areas.
Also speaking, one of the leaders of the Hausa community in the state, A. A. Sambo, described the death of their brothers as most shocking.
“We lack words with which to describe this situation; it is so sad that vibrant young men left home in the morning in search of their daily bread but never returned alive. It is so sad that they were hacked to death in such manner.”

NACA Takes HIV, Campaign, Care to Tarka LGA, Benue

By Gabriel Olawale
No fewer than 4000 people recently benefitted from counselling, testing and care services provided by the National Agency for the Conrol of HIV AIDS (NACA) in Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State. The services which were sited at the two Primary Health Centres, PHCs, of Tarhembe and Aboho communities were part of the four days activities of NACA to mark the 2015 World AIDS Day (WAD).

One of the counselling points at the Tarhembe PHC, Benue State.

Services provided during the four days included HIV/AIDS counselling, testing and referral as well as diagnosis and treatment of Malaria, blood pressure checks, random blood glucose check and general medical consultations with provision of drugs to the sick. Declaring the event open, Vice Chairman, Tarka LGA, Tarka Shachia expressed gratitude to NACA for extending such benevolence to the communities in the Local Government Area.
Shachia urged residence in all the surrounding communities to the PHCs to avail themselves of the privilege to be counselled, tested and treated free of charge by the government agency saying, “it is indeed for our own good”.
Some of the dignitaries who flagged off the event included Assistant Director NACA, Lawrence Kwaghga, Dr Kator Iorpagher, Representing Ministry of Health, Representative, Benue State Agency for Control of HIV/AIDS (BENSACA), Mrs Nancy Ali Wine, Counsellor for works, Tarka LGA, Orkyusu Jiibee, as well as notable community leaders like Ahembe Mbasee, Aondowase Soroku, Iortser Adaka, Apere Ibor and Peter Mtsugh.
In his address at the occasion, Dr Kwagha explained why it has become expedient that everyone must know their HIV status, saying it is only with such knowledge that individuals can have the benefit of care and treatment if he or she is positive. He appealed to the people to ensure they give moral support to anyone that test positive to the disease saying, it is not a death sentence once such an individual is place of a lifelong treatment and keeps to the healthy advice that would be given by health officials.
Goodwill messages of hope and support were also delivered by some of the community leaders who pledged their support towards ensuring an AIDS free community through sensitizing their people on curbing harmful practices that aid the spread of the disease.

Nigeria’s crude oil export set to rise in March

NIGERIA’s crude oil export is set to rise in March, a compilation of loading programmes showed yesterday.
This, according to data obtained from Reuters, is coming on the heels of the lifting of force majeure declared by some oil companies, while it added that the increase was in spite of the fact that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, raised the official selling prices for Nigeria’s crude oil gradesfrom more than 10-year lows, reflecting the stronger market.
The report, however, did not state the price at which the NNPC is selling the crude oil grades. Several key grades, according to the report, were set to increase from the previous month, including Bonny Light, Bonga, Forcados, Brass River and Escravos, early loading programmes showed. The report said one of the 10 cargoes of Qua Iboe set for March loading was also deferred from the February programme, setting it slightly higher than the previous month.
Since the February export plan was issued, ENI has lifted its force majeure on Brass River crude, while Shell has reopened the Trans Niger Pipeline which carries Bonny Light to the export terminal. The report further noted that March exports already included 62 cargoes, or 56.7 million barrels of oil, compared with the 59 cargoes and 55.2 million barrels originally planned for February. The barrels per day (bpd) total of 1.83 million was below February’s initially planned total of 1.9 million bpd, due to the shorter month, but several programmes were still pending, making March likely to surpass that figure.

UMUAHIA—PACESETTER, the Frequency Modulated, FM, station of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, based in Amakama, Umuahia South Council of Abia State, was Sunday evening gutted by fire.
The cause of the fire was not yet known but it was said to have started from the roof of the building housing the radio station at about 5pm.
However, no life was lost as the staff on duty at the consul at the time, a lady, was said to have escaped through the toilet window.
According to sources from the radio station, when the workers on duty saw the heavy smoke coming out from the roof, they raised an alarm and called out every staff to avoid loss of life.
The radio station commissioned in 2007 by former Minister of Information, Mr. Frank Nweke Jnr, was completely gutted by fire. However, the staff on duty were said to have managed to salvage the transmission equipment.
But other departments such as accounts, newsroom, programmes and administration as well as the studio were completely burnt down.
Meanwhile, the Abia State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, has paid a sympathy visit to the radio station. Led by its chairman, Comrade John Emejor, the council called on the federal and state governments and good-spirited individuals and corporate organizations to urgently assist in rebuilding the station and return it back on air.
General Manager of radio station, Mr. Fidelis Onoh, who received the delegation, thanked the NUJ team for the visit.
Meanwhile, the Abia State government has promised that it would do its best to assist in rebuilding the radio station.
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Godwin Adindu made the promise when he paid a sympathy visit to the radio station, where he lamented the massive destruction caused by the inferno.

N167bN Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: How FG ignored arbitration offer by Bi-Courtney

The ongoing rehabilitation of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been stalled because the Federal Government ignored offer of arbitration by Bi-Courtney Highway Services Limited.
These facts emerged yesterday following the controversy trailing the N167billion project including the ongoing court in case.
Findings revealed that Bi-Courtney Highway Services Limited had expressed its desire for arbitration in a January 29, 2013 letter to the immediate past Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen.
But barely three years after the company offered to settle out of court, the Federal Government was yet to respond.
The construction giant also went ahead to name a three-man team to represent it at the arbitration panel but the government has not provided its representatives.
Bi-Courtney letter, which was signed by Chief T.K. Akinbami, reads in part: “We refer to the letter dated 19th November 2012 wherein the concession granted to our Consortium vide your letter of 8th May 2009, was purportedly terminated pursuant to Article 16.1 of the Concession Agreement (“Agreement”) for failure to remedy the alleged breaches complained of in your letter dated 28th August, 2012.”

Army kills 14 insurgents, recover arms in Yobe

Damaturu—The Nigeria army says it has killed 14 Boko Haram insurgents and captured two others around Chirokusko Village in Tarmuwa Local Government Area in Yobe.
Brig-Gen. Mohammed Aliyu, General Commanding Officer (GCO), told newsmen in Damaturu yesterday that 16 assorted weapons and ammunitions were also recovered from the insurgents. Aliyu said the terrorists sneaked into the area and were about settling down when the army ambushed them following a tip-off from patriotic citizens.
He commended the host communities for their cooperation which included providing security operatives with useful information.
According to him, more troops have been deployed to the area to enhance manpower to consolidate the gains recorded in the fight against insurgency. “The Damaturu-BuniYadi-Biu road will soon be opened to motorists for economic activities to resume in the liberated areas.”
The GOC said as part of efforts to boost the morale of the troops, more than 10, 000 soldiers had been given special promotion, while 1,500 others were currently under consideration for promotion to their next rank.
According to the GOC, the army will continue to operate within the rules of engagement and with respect for human rights.
Aliyu said the closure of markets in some communities were based on security reasons and pleaded with people of the area to be patient, adding that the markets would soon be re-opened for business. “We are aware of the inconveniences the market closure might have caused the communities, but we are working hard to reopen them for economic activities to resume,” he assured.
The GOC called for improved cooperation between soldiers and the communities in order to collectively defeat insurgency in the country.

Eagles battle Guinea for quarter final ticket

On January 25, 201610:03

The Super Eagles are battle ready to pick all three points off Guinea’s Syli Nationale today in order to make sure of top spot in Group C and guarantee qualification for the quarter finals of the 4th African Nations Championship.
On Sunday, the Eagles arrived in beautiful border district of Rubavu, venue of their clash with the Syli Nationale, after a three –hour road trip from Rwanda’s capital, Kigali. They are lodged at the Gorilla Hotel, close to the Kivu Beach.
The team had its first training session in Rubavu on Sunday, and on Monday, the team had a feel of today’s match venue, The Rubavu Stadium.
According to the team’s Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, all 23 players who made the trip are in excellent physical and mental shape ahead of the crucial West African derby with the tricky Guineans.

Coach Sunday Oliseh praised the players for their brave performance against the very experienced Tunisian side on Friday and promised that the team will put out another high level display when they file out today.
Victory by any margin on Tuesday will guarantee the Eagles top spot in Group C, and a quarter –final date with the second placed team in Group D. A draw would be enough for qualification, as Nigeria has a two–point margin on second–placed Guinea and Tunisia, but should Tunisia achieve a high–score win over Niger Republic, top spot may not be guaranteed.
Guinea have drawn each of their two matches 2-2, against Tunisia and Niger Republic, coming from behind each time. They pose a big threat because of the skill and guile of their strikers.
Nigeria forward Chisom Chikatara, on four goals, will pose the biggest threat to the Guineans at the Rubavu Stadium. His excellent positioning can get him the goals to be top scorer of this championship.
