Owner of Planet 44, Double 4 and K’s Place (all on the Island), the hairy dude who enjoys chopping cigar and rocking life had a wondrously rollicking time with Nike before they parted ways, leaving the shrewd guy with no other option than to marry a fellow Lebanese and a heart-broken Nike to continue with her love voyage.

Igbos Will Regain Relevance With APC- Okorocha …Says Amaechi Won NGF Election



Imo state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has assured Nigerians that the newly formed All Progressive Congress (APC) by the coalition of major opposition parties will fix and return Nigeria in the path of progress.

Governor Okorocha who seized the opportunity of rendering his two year account of stewardship to Imolites to speak on his political future and recent political development in the country, maintained that APC would among other things balance the political equation as well as offer credible alternative so far as leadership is concern in Nigeria.

He said ' let me throw more light on why I have decided to join and promote APC. It is a clear fact that our dear country under the rulership of the PDP for 14 years has not fared well. The formation of APC is not only timely but an intervention that will balance the political equation in Nigeria.

The ruling PDP has no doubt taken all of us for granted for the 14 years it has governed Nigeria and that largely informed the reason why the progressives are presenting APC to Nigerians as an alternative platform that will enthrone good governance. By the time APC is finally elected to lead this great country of African continent, Nigeria will be fixed and ultimately restored on the path of growth, job creation, industralisation and overall good governance in the country'.

Gov. Okorocha further took a swipe on PDP for relegating the people of south east to the background in the power equation of the country.

'it is regrettable that PDP has relegated all of us in the south east to the background. It is true that Igbo man is not occupying any of the five principal positions in the country which includes the President, Vice President, Senate president, Speaker federal House of Representatives and National chairman of the party' he said.

He called on Ndigbo to embrace APC which he insisted is one of the surest steps to regain the political relevance of Ndigbo in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Okorocha has maintained that contrary to the erroneous impression created by some governors opposed to the re-election of Gov.
Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi as chairman Nigeria Governors Forum election which saw the participants of 35 governors actually held and produced the the Rivers state governor as the winner.

Gov. Okorocha who stated this while giving two years account of his stewardship as governor of Imo state, posited that those forces opposing Gov. Amaechi re-election as chairman of NGF should apply other strategies than peddling unfounded falsehood portraying that there was no election. ' I cant imagineit in my lifethat anybody will come and say that we did not conduct an election. There was a free and fair election and the winner of that election was Amaechi' Gov. Okorocha.

He condemned the alleged plot by the presidency against the Rivers state governor maintening that such development portends danger in the nation politics.

Gov. Okorocha further described the forum of governors as one that should not be driven by party sentiments but a rallying point that should promote good governance towards building a better nation

Baby 'Healthy' After China Toilet Pipe Rescue

 
A newborn baby boy lodged in a sewage pipe directly beneath a toilet has been rescued by firefighters in eastern China.
Suggestions that the child had been dumped have been revised after it emerged that the 22-year-old unmarried mother of the baby was the one who raised the alarm.
According to a police source in Jinhua, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, the woman gave birth unexpectedly when she went to the lavatory on Saturday, and the newborn fell into the squat toilet.
The mother, who had hidden her pregnancy, telephoned her landlord, claiming she heard "weird noises" in the pipe, and the proprietor called police after spotting the infant.
Firefighters had to remove the pipe, reported to be 10cm (three inches) in diameter, and take it to a nearby hospital, where doctors carefully cut around it to rescue the baby inside.
They spent nearly an hour taking the tube apart piece by piece with pliers and saws and finally recovered the 5lb (2.3kg) boy, whose placenta was still attached.
From the time he was found until when he was taken out, the child - named Baby 59 from the number of his hospital incubator - was stuck in the tube for two to three hours, according to the policeman who declined to be named.

Firefighters work to remove the pipe after a woman heard the newborn baby crying (HAP/ Quirky China News/ Rex  …

"The woman was on the scene during the entire rescue process ... and admitted (she was the mother) when we asked her," he said, adding they were still looking for the boy's father. "We need further investigations to find out if she had any malicious intentions" before deciding whether the mother would be charged, he added.
According to the officer: "The baby is very healthy now and can be released from the hospital."
But the mother was in a serious condition due to complications from the delivery, he added.
Video footage of the rescue was broadcast nationally overnight before details of the unexpected birth emerged.
The news triggered hundreds of thousands of comments on China's hugely popular Weibo service, which is similar to Twitter, with users expressing good wishes for the baby.
One user, If-Free, said watching the rescue left her distraught.
"Seeing the little one wriggling and groaning as the pipe was torn apart bit by bit wrings my heart ... You've lived through the hardest moment in your life and your future will definitely be smooth," she said.
There are frequent reports in Chinese media of babies being abandoned, often shortly after birth.
The problem is attributed to factors such as young mothers unaware they were pregnant, the birth of an unwanted girl in a society which puts greater value on boys or China's strict family planning rules.

International Court Stung By Charge Of 'Hunting Africans' Because Of Race



As the African Union summit drew to a close this week, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn leveled a stinging blow at the International Criminal Court (ICC) that prosecutes human rights violators, when he accused it of “hunting Africans" as 99% of those indicted by the ICC are from the continent. "This shows something is flawed within the system of the ICC and we object to that," he said.

He continued: “The intention (of the ICC) was to avoid any kind of impunity and ill governance and crime, but now the process has degenerated into some kind of race hunting.”

The Hague-based ICC, set up in 2002 to try the world’s worst crimes, insists it is an impartial body and is determined to continue with its case against Kenyan President Kenyatta and others in Africa.

“The International Criminal Court will not be reacting to African Union resolutions,” ICC spokesman Fadi El Abdallah told the AFP news wire. He pointed out that four out of eight cases under investigation in Africa were referred to the court by the countries themselves.

Also, 43 African countries signed the ICC’s founding Rome Statute, which 34 have ratified, “making Africa the most heavily represented region in the court’s membership.”

Africans currently charged with crimes by the ICC include former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo and Sudan President Omar al-Bashir who defied an international arrest warrant to attend the summit in Addis Ababa. The ICC has charged Bashir with genocide over the conflict in Darfur.

AU Peace and Security Council head Ramtane Lamamra echoed those who questioned how the UN Security Council could refer Mr Bashir to the ICC when three of its five permanent members - the United States, Russia and China - had either not signed up to or not ratified the Rome Statute which established the ICC.

"How could you refer the cases of others while you yourself don't feel compelled to abide by the same rule?" he was quoted to say.

African leaders have been reluctant to enforce ICC warrants or support the prosecution of their counterparts, some of whom enjoy broad support by nationals at home. Currently, the AU is opposed to the ICC trying Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta on charges of crimes against humanity and wants the case moved back to Kenya.

Mr Kenyatta, elected in March, is due to be tried in July on claims that he fueled violence after disputed elections in 2007. He denies the charge.

Kenyan lawyer Wilfred Nderitu, who represents some 150 victims of the election violence, told BBC Focus on Africa, he was concerned about the safety of witnesses if Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were tried in local courts.

He also doubted whether Kenya's judiciary was capable of dealing with such complex cases.

Meanwhile, University of Minnesota professor Abdi Ismail Samatar commented on the concluding AU meeting."Much like the past 50 years, there are a few leaders who are fully aware of what must be done and who have the courage to take charge," he wrote.

"Will current African leaders rise to the challenge of the next 50 years?" he wondered. "There is a fleeting opportunity for the continent ... (but) sleeping on the switch by free-riding the current resource boom will only reproduce Africa's "Dome of Shame."

Gov. Obi, others Escape Death as Pilot asks Passengers to thank God.

 
 
What could have turned to be an air mishap yesterday was avoided by the experience of the Arik Pilot of Flight W 3788 conveying over 100 passengers from Lagos to Asaba.

The flight which was supposed to take off at 8:30 am was delayed in Lagos on account of bad weather. Though travellers had boarded the flight, but after about 2 hours inside the plane, they were asked to go back to the departure lounge as the plane could not take off on account of what the pilot called "terribly bad weather at Asaba." After about 3 hours, the flight was boarded again because weather reports showed improvement within the internationally accepted landing standards. By the time it was boarded again, many people who sensed the situation as warning from Providence had already cancelled their trips.

On getting to Asaba, the weather became bad again. Attempts at landing was difficult. Not wanting to take chances the pilot promptly returned to Lagos. On reaching Lagos, the weather there had already gone very bad by aviation standard. The plane had to circle around for hours amidst dwindling aviation fuel. It finally landed at 4:45 pm amidst signs of relief from traumatized passengers who clapped in jubilation. The pilot, Captain Sandy Miller merely told passengers to thanks their God for His mercies when they got home.

Speaking to aviation correspondents at the Domestic Wing of Murtala Muhammed Airport, Gov. Obi, who travelled to South-Africa on Sunday and came back yesterday to Lagos said he was determined to make the flight to Asaba en route to Awka because he did not like staying outside Awka more days than necessary.

Moreover, he said that he had already planned so many things he would have done at home yesterday. When he was persistently asked those things, he reluctantly said that he had projects to inspect such as the progress of work at Upper-Iweka, the drainage challenge at Ogidi as well as the site for the construction of Agulu Lake Hotel Resort, which, according to him, would take off in a matter of days.

Obi said that following discussion with some investors in South Africa that requested land to build their facility in Anambra and some existing ones that want to expand, that he planned to visit some identified sites for consideration. "Moreso, I have planned to treat many files in the night," Obi said. On whether he was frightened, the Gov. laughed and said that nothing again should be frightening to a person that governs a state like Anambra, moreover, he said, he was always at peace with His God and fellow human beings to worry over the vicissitudes of life.

Speaking on the experience, one of the passengers, Barr. Donald Emeh said that as a frequent flyer, that he was used to such situations. He nevertheless gave glory to God for safe landing at last. He jokingly described how those on board turned into emergency prayer worrriors, casting and binding the spirit of plane crash.

Speaking on the development, the Majority Leader of Delta State of Assembly, Hon. Chief Igbuyo, who along other Government officials said the incident is instructive on why one should be prepared at all times.

Amateur footage has been obtained by Face Of Agulu of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum election


 

The mobile phone video of Nigeria Governors’ Forum election held on May 24 during which Rotimi Amaechi, was reelected chairman after he defeated Jonah Jang  19 votes to 16. 

Using a mobile phone, Rauf Aregbesola of Osun captured most of the proceedings of an election that featured intense maneuvering and fierce disagreement.
The footage shows the 35 governors voting, the counting of votes and the declaration of result by Asishana Okauru, the presiding officer who is also the director general of the forum.

At a point during the recording, Akwa Ibom’s Godswill Akpabio, realising that the election was being taped, charges angrily at Aregbesola. The governor however resumed his secret recording after Akpabio relents.

Plenty of fodder for continued speculation on the actual conduct of the election. See for youself.
