0 0
Read Time:57 Second

The strings of David comprises of  four young Nigerians based in Finland with a common passion to declare the praises of the most high God till it reaches the uttermost part of the Earth. Their debut single was released in Finland in December 2013. This generated very positive response from listeners and gospel music lovers both at home and abroad. In essence, they have released a follow up single titled “COME MAKE WE SING”

The new single is a mixture of Yoruba, Igbo and English language representing the beauty of praise from the Nigerian and sub- saharan african perspective. A blend of African rhythm with some contemporary instrumentation and syncopation.” COME MAKE WE SING” is danceable and also carries the message of unconditional praise. The bedrock of the song is the message that unconditional praise is a prelude to unconditional blessings and breakthrough.

 Also considering the plights of our sisters in custody of terrorists, Our praise can stir God to intervene and break the girls and Nigeria as a whole loose from terrorism and corruption. special credit to Samkorg production (Studio 2206).

Why I won’t Marry Keturah Hamilton-By Jim Iyke. Shocking 20 minutes tape will be released in the next 72 hours.

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

3 months Ago, Emma Agu had asked Jim to call him to find out the truth that he has been calling Keturah Hamilton, begging her to have him back.  The 20 minutes tape where Jim Iyke gave reasons why he won’t ever come back to Keturah Hamilton, will be made public within the next 72hours. As strange as it may sound, this is AMERICA, when we have discussions with men with multiple personalities, we must record them. They may wake up the next day to deny you. The American way, we call it investigative journalism.
 It is an American Standard. On this tape, Nadia Bauri also spoke. For the record, those who made remarks that our organization is looking for fame through this, should google the multiple award wining Emma Agu’s name. This is not about making an additional name but exposing a fraudulent sicko called Jim iyke whose lifestyle has ruined many lives.

Nigerian FM has correspondent and crews virtually in every part of the world. This is what we do. Truth is an open conscience that never heals.

It is going to be the most shocking of all tapes.

Inglorious Uche Igwe on A Hatchet Job

0 0
Read Time:5 Minute, 49 Second

Uche Igwe, whoever he may be wrote in the Punch of Wednesday May 21, 2014, on his viewpoint column. It was sheer blackmail from first line to the last one. He pretended to know Abia. Reading in between the lines, you notice a trail of slandering and negative penning that actually reveal whom he is working for. He spared nobody in his hatchet job from Chief T.A. Orji, his son, the wife of the President Mrs. Patience Jonathan, Senator Nkechi Nworgu,  the PDP leadership, and the President. We are used to such hatchet jobs and can decipher the Isaac’s hands and Jacob’s voice.
The Port Harcourt/Aba Express road is a federal road in which the state government has plunged so much money, making it motorable till the Minister of Works, Arch. Mike Onolememen, came to Abia State last year and flagged off the reconstruction of the express road which was awarded to Arab Contractors and Setraco Nigeria Limited. If the so called Uche Igwe actually drove from Umuahia, he would have seen mountainous heaps of crushed tar and asphalt converted for surfacing hardcore scraped and compounded with fine and sturdy laterite. The rainy season interrupts construction but work goes on daily. He refused to notice that whatever is being done on the express road came after pressure and the diplomatic tours of South-east leaders to Abuja coupled with Ochendo trademark diplomacy that was squandered by one of the predecessors.
He called Aba names she didn’t deserve. He complained of darkness in Aba which hardly is the responsibility of the state government. The Governor of Abia State has done much to encourage independent and alternative power supply like the Ala Oji and Geometric power plants which the state government has built roads to ease movement to the plants. There are many cases where the government have given innumerable transformers, connecting remote towns to the national grid.
Igwe’s wolfish complaints in Aba demonstrate that he has not been to Aba for years. Aba was abandoned for so many years especially by the immediate past administration when drainages blocked the green belts, gardens and shockingly, floodplains were allocated to cronies and family members as plots.
The present administration has done much in opening drainages. The biggest drain in Aba emptying at the Ogbo River was blocked for many years. T.A. Orji engaged Chikwe Tech that worked with Mioneer Construction Company, MCC. As you can see, the government and Governor are doing their best.
A few years ago, the Governor kicked off the dry season of 2012 with multiple roads including the reclamation of Ukwu Mango ditch untouched for over 20 years to which Eze Ikonne, son of Aba Ngwa land, took up advertorial, stating that for so many years of his living in Aba the wonders of Ukwu Mango was the rarest.
Orji has picked up many roads which his predecessor abandoned, mind you, Aba is not only the town or Local Government Abia has. Work is simultaneously going on in Bende, Arochukwu, Ohafia, Ukwa areas just to name a few.
Igwe referred to many issues that are non issues but he took notes from a scrap of paper he was given. He wrote about the pelting of the governor which is a popular refrain of his camp that orchestrated the odd job. That is the burden of office. In the late eighties, President Obasanjo was burnt in effigy in the North; it did not stop him from his comeback as democratic president in 1999. Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at then U.S. President George Bush on December 14, 2008.
On April 7, 2008,  Arbab Ghulam Rahim, the former Chief Minister of Sindh, Pakistan, was leaving the back door of the Sindh assembly building after taking oath as a newly elected member when he was hit by shoe from Agha Javed Pathan, a worker from the Pakistan Peoples Party. Former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 4th September 2010 had an egg and shoes thrown at him at a signing for his book 'A Journey' outside Eason's in Dublin.
On September 11, 2010, a shoe was thrown at Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, while he was inaugurating the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair. Democrats were pelted with bricks and death threats for Obama healthcare reforms recently. It happens and should not be a triumph.
Many world leaders have been pelted especially when people differ with their policies, that included, Maggie Thatcher when she withdrew free milk from the public schools.    
T.A. Orji has given vehicles where shovels and wheel barrows were shamelessly issued with fanfare to Abia youth. He replaced motorcycles with tricycles, saving lives and stemming crime. He has taken on housing at Amauba, Amaokwe, Isieke, Ubani/Ngwu just to mention a few.
Abians and foreigners will have seminars and conferences in a 21st century International Conference Centre, capable of hosting over five thousand at a seating and proudly competing with the ones in Abuja, Pretoria and Johannesburg. If you are in doubt ask Labaran Maku, the Federal Information Minister.
Umuahia has been greatly sanitized, transferring markets that clogged the capital city to healthy and spacious suburbs, thereby creating new cities. Abia students in tertiary schools have been paid bursaries of 50,000 Naira each when the past administration abolished such.
The health sector can boast of a robust leap with a specialist hospital and diagnostic centre that houses dialysis machines and modern laboratory. There are 710 primary health centres and nine updated general hospitals. There are eye and chest centres, office and boarding for trainee doctors. Abia is the envy of other states with over five schools of nursing and midwifery.
Chief T.A. Orji, the eagle on Iroko is presently the Chairman of the South East Governors' Forum which no living Abian has attained. You do not just award marks, they are based on achievements which Ochendo has in quantum and can be verified. What about the construction of new Government House and the workers' secretariat which is partly in use? Or the Helipad at Isuikwuato, first of its kind.
I can go on and on for all these were not there in the previous administration, so how can T. A. Orji be the worst when he has implanted things that weren’t there before him?
From all accounts, Igwe was paid for this dirty job as it veers of the non-partisan editorial policy of the Punch Newspapers. Igwe has stirred the hornet’s nest. He has murdered sleep and can sleep no more.
Let the world judge T.A. Orji, Igwe and his masters? Like one Pastor Dike said, Chief  T.A. Orji is already on top of the Iroko tree, no amount of hooting by devious, cheating and disgruntled fellas can bring him down.

NIGERIA: Government should compensate the families of 173 teachers killed by Boko Haram— NUT

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 12 Second
The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), Bauchi State Wing, on Thursday demanded compensation for the families of the 173 teachers murdered by insurgents in Borno and Yobe states.
Malam Danjuma Sale, the state’s Chairman of the union, made the demand on behalf of his colleagues, when he led teachers to the Government House, Bauchi, to protest the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok town of Borno, by insurgents.
. “We demand that both federal and the respective state governments should exhibit genuine concern to the families of the affected teachers and pay them adequate compensation,” he said.
The union described the abduction of the over 200 schoolgirls of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, as barbaric and a stumbling block to meeting the target of “Education for All by 2015”..
It also called on the governments to provide insurance cover for both students and teachers in view of violence being experienced..
“The school system has suffered the worst attack over the years, from primary to tertiary institutions.
“Teachers and students are currently living under constant fear of being attacked, their social conditions have plummeted, as such, something needs to be done, said the union..
Responding, Gov. Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State commended the teachers for their concern on issues bordering on national interest.
He condoled with the teachers and the families of the 173 teachers who died in service to humanity.
Yuguda, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Aminu Hammayo, prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased teachers.
He also sympathised with Nigerians, particularly parents of the over 200 girls abducted by the insurgents.
“We have complained year in, year out, on the kind of indices recorded in terms of girl-child education in this part of the country.
“Just when we are making very positive strides in trying to meet this challenge, this (abduction of the girls) happened.
“The negative effect of this will be very serious, as it is capable of reversing whatever successes we have made in terms of promoting girl-child education in the northeast zone.
“But I assure you that government at all levels are making all necessary efforts to address the situation, especially with the support of the international communities.
“It is my belief that in no distant time, our girls would return to us safe and sound, “Yuguda said.
The national secretariat of the NUT had on May 21, ordered teachers in public schools nationwide, to boycott classes and participate in a protest, demanding the release of the abducted schoolgirls.

Kogi Seeks Assistance From NEMA over Rainstorms Disaster

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
The Kogi Government on Thursday called for urgent intervention by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to mitigate the impact of rainstorm in parts of the state.
The Executive Secretary, Kogi Emergency Management Agency (KSEMA), Mrs Alice Ogedengbe, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja.
Ogedengbe urged NEMA to assist victims and organisations of the disaster with relief materials and other palliatives.
She disclosed that the agency had received complaints from rainstorm victims in no fewer than 10 local government areas in the last two months.
According to her, NEMA’s intervention would complement the state government’s effort, explaining that the scope of the havoc was beyond the capacity of the state agency.
She said that thousands of families had been rendered homeless.
Ogedengbe reminded residents of the rainfall prediction alerting Nigerians of a gale of rainstorm that would sweep several communities in the country, including Kogi.
She advised the people to respect the NiMeT warning, to avoid further loss of lives and property in the state in the coming months.
She also enjoined residents to avoid indiscriminate dumping of solid wastes in drainages and water channels, to allow the free flow of water and avert flooding in the state.

BringBackOurGirls protesters mount pressure on Aso Rock

0 0
Read Time:3 Minute, 54 Second
ABUJA (AFP) – Protesters on Thursday were taking their call for the release of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram to Nigeria’s president, as US military personnel headed to Chad as part of the rescue effort.
Demonstrators said they were intending to march on Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential villa in the capital, Abuja, to maintain pressure on the embattled head of state to secure the girls’ safe release.
“It is the wish of this movement that this engagement will catalyse positive action towards (the) quick rescue of our abducted girls,” the #BringBackOurGirls campaign coordinator, Hadiza Bala Usman, said in a statement.
Previous street protests in Abuja have led to meetings with lawmakers at the national parliament, Nigeria’s national security adviser and military top brass.
Thursday’s planned march comes after US President Barack Obama announced that 80 military personnel had been deployed to Chad to help find the 223 girls still missing since their abduction on April 14.
Obama said in a letter to Congress that the military contingent would stay in Chad until their support in ending the crisis that has triggered worldwide outrage “is no longer required”.
“These personnel will support the operation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area,” he wrote.
– Schools shut –
The deployment marks a significant boost to an existing US military effort which includes the use of surveillance drones as well as manned aircraft over Nigeria.
The Pentagon has criticised Nigeria for failing to react quickly enough to the rise of Boko Haram, who have been blamed for thousands of deaths since 2009.
Jonathan’s administration had previously resisted close cooperation with the West but accepted help from US, British, French and Israeli specialists amid a groundswell of pressure fuelled by a social media campaign.
Nigeria is hoping to tighten the screws on Boko Haram and has asked the United Nations Security Council to proscribe the group, which is said to have links to Al-Qaeda-linked militants in north Africa.
President Jonathan has called the extremists “Al-Qaeda in western and central Africa”, underlining what Nigeria views as Boko Haram’s threat to regional stability.
The United States and a number of other countries have already designated Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation in an attempt to cut off any international support and overseas funding for the group.
The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) meanwhile called for schools across the country to shut to allow a “day of protest” against the abduction of the girls from Chibok on April 14.
“We remain resolute in our resolve to continue the campaign… until our girls are brought back safe and alive and the perpetrators of the heinous crime are brought to book,” NUT president Michael Alogba Olukoya said on Wednesday.
– No let-up –
In the last five weeks, Boko Haram has stepped up its campaign of attacks outside the northeast worst affected by the insurgency, leading to fears of an escalation of violence across the country.
Hours before the girls’ kidnapping, the group bombed a crowded busy station in the Abuja suburb of Nyanya, killing 75. A copy-cat bombing at the same location on May 1 left 19 dead.
On Tuesday, two car bombs ripped through a busy market within 20 minutes of each other in the central city of Jos, killing at least 118.
There are fears that the death toll could rise further. The bombing — Nigeria’s deadliest — was seen by experts as an indication of Boko Haram’s intent to export violence and demonstrate their capability to the international community.
“They have sleeper cells all over the northern part of the country and they’re activating them,” said Kyari Mohammed, a Boko Haram specialist and chairman of the Centre for Peace Studies at Nigeria’s Modibbo Adama University.
“That’s what they’re going to do. We should anticipate more attacks, especially if they (the government and the international community) are unable to solve the Chibok problem,” he told AFP.
At the same time, there has been no let-up in the bloodshed in Borno state, one of three in the northeast which has been under a state of emergency since May last year.
More than 50 people were killed in three separate attacks this week. Two were near Chibok on Monday and Tuesday, while the third was near Gamboru Ngala, close to Lake Chad, where a reported 300 people were killed last month.

NIGERIA: APC govs advocate improved capacity for security operatives

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 16 Second
Abuja – The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), has urged the Federal Government to strengthen the capacity of security services to ensure effective intelligence gathering in the country.
This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja and signed by the Chairman of the forum, Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo.
It said the forum stressed the need for the government to provide all the equipment and resources the security operatives in the frontline needed to become an effective fighting force.
This, according to the statement, will enable the security agencies to carry out counter terrorism operations more effectively.
The statement reminded the federal government to recognise the fact that terrorism had never been defeated anywhere by “sheer force alone“.
It stressed that all avenues must be explored to ensure the safety of lives and property.
“ PGF hereby expresses its deep condolences with the families of those killed and injured by yet another dastardly and mindless bomb attack on innocent Nigerians.
“ It is apparent that these attacks were intended to cause as much carnage as possible and also increase mutual suspicion among people of different faiths and ethnicity.“
The progressives’ governors, however, advised Nigerians to stand firm and not relent to the antics of terrorists who sought to return the country to “the dark ages.“
The forum reiterated its commitment to work with all stakeholders to eliminate terrorism and address its root causes such as illiteracy, social disenchantment, injustice and inequality in the society. (NAN)

Prince Charles comments provokes diplomatic dispute with Russia

0 0
Read Time:3 Minute, 2 Second
Moscow – May 22Prince Charles’s comparison of Vladimir Putin with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler triggered a diplomatic row on Thursday when Moscow scolded the heir to the British throne.
It described his comment as an outrageous attempt to sully Russia’s reputation over Ukraine.
During a trip to Canada, the 65-year-old prince had told a Jewish woman who fled from Poland during World War Two that in Ukraine “Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler”, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.
Charles’s remarks, described by a royal source as “well-intentioned” and not meant to be public, caused a stir in Britain because the royal family is not expected to voice political views in public.
“If these words were truly spoken, then without doubt, they do not reflect well on the future British monarch,” a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry told a news conference.
“We view the use of the Western press by members of the British royal family to spread the propaganda campaign against Russia on a pressing issue that is, the situation in Ukraine as unacceptable, outrageous and low.”
Russian diplomats are seeking an official explanation over the remarks which are especially emotive for a country that lost more people than any other in World War Two.
Putin, a former KGB spy who has repeatedly spoken about the sacrifices of what Russians call the Great Patriotic War, lost a brother in the Nazi siege of Leningrad.
The Soviet Union lost more than 20 million people in the war and the victory over Nazi Germany is celebrated across Russia as a national triumph.
But Putin’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea province has prompted some Ukrainian protesters and even some Western politicians to make comparisons between the 61-year-old Russian president and the actions of Hitler.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had to clarify remarks in March suggesting Putin’s justification for his incursion into Crimea to protect ethnic Russians was reminiscent of claims made by Hitler over foreign territories.
It was not the first time that the man destined to be king has taken British politicians and royal watchers by surprise.
In a private diary that was leaked, he once described the Chinese Communist leadership as “appalling old waxworks”.
Queen Elizabeth, Charles’s 88-year-old mother, has never aired any such emotive sentiments in public though her husband, Prince Philip, is famous for a host of unusually blunt comments and off-the-cuff remarks.
“This was a private conversation and we are not exactly sure what was said. It certainly wasn’t meant to be a diplomatic intervention.
“But this is a very sensitive issue for Russia. We know the Russians are offended but the prince was not making an official statement. That is all we can really be certain of,” Clarissa Campbell Orr, a historian of the monarchy at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge said.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who has scolded the Kremlin for annexing Crimea and supporting pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, declined to comment on Charles’s reported remarks.
When asked whether it was appropriate to compare Putin with Hitler given that one of Putin’s brothers died during the Nazi siege of Leningrad, Cameron said: “I am not going to comment someone’s private conversation, least of all Prince Charles.”
A spokeswoman for Charles’s office said they did not comment on his private conversations. (Reuters/NAN)

Insecurity: Borno NUT advocates insurance for teachers

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 3 Second
Maiduguri – The Borno branch of Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has called for insurance cover for teachers in both private and public schools in order to boost their morale for higher productivity.
The Chairman of the union, Malam Bulama Abiso, made the call at a rally on the abducted 230 students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, in Maiduguri.
Represented by his Deputy, Malam Bako Lawal, the chairman said the insurance cover would further encourage teachers to give their best in the service of their fatherland.
He said government should also consider extending the insurance cover to students in both primary and secondary schools.
He added that “we are calling on government to consider introducing insurance cover to both teachers and students in Nigeria.
“This has become necessary, considering the vulnerable political environment in which we operate.’’
Abiso lamented that more than 100 teachers had been killed in Borno and Yobe by suspected insurgents in the last few years, leaving their wives and children to suffer.
He then urged the state government to fast tract the payment of death benefits to families of the affected teachers in Borno to reduce their families’ hardships.
He said the rally was aimed at sensitising the public on the issue of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls with a view to securing their safe return to their parents.
“We are telling Boko Haram to release our girls.
“We want our girls back safely to reunite with their parents,’’ the chairman said.
Responding, Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno thanked the NUT for the rally.
He commiserated with the union on the death of more than 100 teachers in insurgency attacks in the state and promised that government would strive hard to pay their next of kins their benefits.
He said the state government had paid individuals who lost their bread winners N250,000 each as token assistance in each suspected Boko Haram attack in the state.
Shettima said the money was not a compensation but a kind of support to the affected families.
Also The FCT chapter of Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) on Thursday called for immediate release of the over 200 abducted girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno
The Chairman , FCT chapter of the union, Mr Hassan Jibir, made the call at the `Bring Back our Girls’’ rally staged at Zone 7 in Abuja.
The national body of the union on Wednesday in Abuja directed the closure of all schools nationwide to protest the abduction.
Jibir said that the protest was in solidarity of the families of the abducted girls in Chibok and the slain teachers.
“The abduction of the girls is very painful; the girls are the ones facing the shock of the insurgencies.
“Unfortunately, Nigerians are not happy likewise the international community.
“The protest is a way of demonstrating our position and feelings that we are demanding for the release of these girls; to have them available in schools for the teachers to teach them the curriculum that has been provided.”
He said that the protest was also in line with the international community to ensure that the girls are rescued, safe and alive.
Jibir called on the military and the international security agencies to be careful in carrying out their rescue operations in order not to lose any of the girls.
“The demand of the NUT is to ensure that the objective of the rescue mission is to bring them safe and alive,” he said.
Jibir also called on the Federal Government to ensure adequate compensation to the families of the teachers that were killed by the insurgents.
He also called on government to ensure security in the school system.
Also, Mr Labaran Garba, Assistant Secretary, NUT FCT chapter, said the protest was also to lend the chapter’s voice in
condemning the abduction of the girls.
Garba said that Nigerians should not relent in their prayers for the abducted school girls, adding that the entire country and the teachers were at a crossroad.
On his part, Mallam Usman Abubakar, a teacher at L.E.A. Paipe, Lifecamp, FCT, condemned the way and manner that the girls were abducted.
“We also want to plead with the abductors to please release our girls; they are innocent and they are not in government; they are not policy makers,‘’ he said.
Also some of the placards carried inscriptions like “don’t mortgage the future of our girls’’, “support government to crush Boko Haram insurgents’’.
Others are “Education is a right, Chibok girls should be brought back to school’’, “please release our students, Boko Haram leaders are educated, please don’t deceive us’’ , among others.
