  A beautiful woman with bad character is marriageable; an ugly woman with good character is also marriageable - they will both be wives, but an ugly woman with bad character does not live in a husband's house. Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State is an ugly woman with a bad character – incompetent, chronically corrupt and now, through his aides, is threatening to ruthlessly deal with anyone who dares point at his failure. He should have no place in the Igbo geopolitical landscape. The powerful Igbo proverb, “an old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned”, encapsulates Governor Ikpeazu’s unease at the mention of unpaid salaries and pension arrears. You don’t need a light to see someone you know intimately at night. Abia citizens do not need a light to see their bad roads or know that Aba is stinking and is one of the dirtiest cities in the world. Ukpaka is a meal that has a strong odour that attracts flies after it has fermented. Governor Ikpeazu and his ai

Transparency International Transparency International   Global corruption body, Transparency International, said in a new report on Thursday that police around the world do not have the capacity to track illicit transactions made by carton companies. The body noted that this makes governments dependent on banks to report such activities, a situation that impedes investigation into corruption. The report notes that only one of the 83 companies studied are able to properly track criminal financial activities. “Almost without fail, anonymous Shell companies appear at the centre of major cases of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion,” said Maira Martini, an anti-money laundering expert at Transparency International and author of the study. “Funds can be transferred between corporate bank accounts within seconds but identifying who owns companies involved in cross-border corruption cases can take authorities up to a year,” she added. The organisation suggests that coun

Nigeria Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu Nigeria Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu   Three projects in Nigeria’s Ministry of Education have been found to be without codes. Each line item in the budget is uniformly written with a code, description, amount and a note as to whether the project is new or ongoing. The Citizens enquiry platform run by the Civic Media Lab, however found the three projects without code in the ministry’s 2019 spending plan. The projects were, “Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana – Afikpo, construction of one hostel complex for N30m. “Federal Polytechnic Auchi, construction of lecture hall for N50m. “Federal College of Education Omuku, perimeter fencing of the college for N35m.” While this might not have any baring as to whether the projects will be executed or not, they add up to the mounting evidence of the unprofessional hand in which the country’s budget document is written. The platform previously noticed a subhead called ‘Agricicultu

WHO   There has been an upward increase in the number of people receiving lifesaving treatment for tuberculosis in the world. The number rose from 6.4 million in 2017 to seven million in 2018, a report by the World Health Organisation said. Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of deaths worldwide with millions of people continuing to fall sick from the ailment every year. Nigeria ranked among the top eight countries with the highest burden of tuberculosis in 2018 with Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and South Africa making the top eight. The Global TB Report 2019 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the tuberculosis epidemic, and progress in the response, at global, regional and country levels. WHO’s latest Global TB report also says that 1.5 million people died from TB in 2018, showing a decrease from 1.6 million deaths recorded in 2017. “Today we mark the passing of the first milestone in the effort to reach people wh

  The Central Bank of Nigeria has refused to disclose the volume of dollars given out at N305 as well as what sectors and schemes have been benefiting from the N55 difference. The Civic Media Lab had since August 28 written a Freedom of Information scheme seeking to know how much subsidised foreign exchange the bank had disbursed through channels such as the Forex Intervention Scheme. According to the Lab, the need to make the FoI request was sparked by comments made by Chairman of Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, Tunji Oyebanji, that he knows no marketer receiving forex at N305 to a dollar. Mr Oyebanji had made this comment during this year’s Nigerian Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition in Abuja. He was responding to claims made at the conference by the then Chief Operating Officer, Downstream at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Henry Ikem-Obih, that the state-owned corporation was able to save $1.7bn from the Forex Intervention Scheme launched by

  Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, and activist, Aisha Yesufu, both blamed Wednesday’s petrol tanker fire in Onitsha, Anambra State, on negligence on the part of government. The two outspoken women, who are co-conveners of the Bring Back Our Girls Movement, took to their Twitter pages to express their thoughts on the tragedy on Thursday. Ezekwesili said, “There’s no escaping the consequences of poor governance no matter what any of us as citizens choose to do. “My heart has been grieving at the utterly preventable tragedy of the #OnitshaFire and how families have lost lives and livelihood just because the basics were not available. “How can an old city like Onitsha with a history of fire outbreaks not have a basic emergency and disaster response system? “How woeful it is that episodes like this occur over and over again and all we do is feel sad for a few days and move on, leaving the victims to their fate.” In her own reaction, Yesufu said, “Our fellow

Coterel gang . The Coterel gang was an armed group in the English North Midlands that roamed across the countryside in the late 1320s and early 1330s, a period of political upheaval and lawlessness. Despite repeated attempts by the crown to suppress James Coterel and his band, they committed murder, extortion and kidnapping across the Peak District. Basing themselves in Sherwood Forest (pictured), other wooded areas of north Nottinghamshire and the peaks of Derbyshire, the Coterels frequently cooperated with other groups, including the Folville gang. As members of the gentry, Coterel and his immediate supporters were expected to assist the crown in the maintenance of law and order, rather than encourage its collapse, but most of the band received royal pardons following service abroad or in Scotland. Groups such as the Coterels may have inspired many of the stories woven around Robin Hood in the 15th century.
