A DECADE-LONG PEACE IN MOZAMBIQUE NOW IN PERIL

Oct. 22 (GIN) – Mozambique, profiled as the next Norway enjoying a windfall from its recent finds in off-shore gas, may be headed for troubled waters instead.

A fragile peace has reigned over the southeast nation since a treaty in 1992 ended a 16 year long civil war. A pawn in the Cold War of the great powers, the coastal nation was heavily armed with U.S. and Russian weapons. Over a million people perished in the course of the war.

Still one of the poorest nations on earth, the détente between the Frelimo government and the opposition Renamo group blew up this month when government forces overran the jungle headquarters of Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama, who escaped.

Embattlwd Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah and President Goodluck Jonathan

By Ben Ezemalu

The Aviation Minister, on Wednesday, insisted that the procurement of the two armoured BMW vehicles at the cost of N255 million followed due process.
In a quick response to the query issued to her by President Goodluck Jonathan, Stella Oduah said that there was provision in the 2013 budget for the procurement of specialised equipment (including operational vehicles) to complement and, in some cases, replace obsolete ones.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the two armoured BMW exotic cars were bought outside budget provisions, and in violation of procurement processes.
But Mrs. Oduah maintained that there is always an annual budgetary provision for the replacement of obsolete, inadequate and unreliable monitoring equipment.
“The NCAA (Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority) is charged with oversight responsibilities over all civil aviation operations in the country, including safety, security and strict compliance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, SARPs, and Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, NCARs,” Mrs. Oduah stated in her response.

Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) who pressed for an investigation into the activities of cult groups at Yaba College of Technology have accused the institution’s authorities of witch-hunting them.
Some NANS leaders told Saharareporters that the management of Yaba College of Technology was planning a vindictive move against Fatima Adeyinka Salau, the public relations officer of the Lagos State chapter of NANS’ Joint Campus Committee (JCC). Ms. Salau had recently granted an interview to SaharaTV in which she detailed her group’s efforts to rid the campus of cultism.
In the interview (available here http://saharareporters.tv/yaba-college-of-technology-harbours-finances-cult-gangs-says-student/), Ms. Salau alleged that members of cult gangs brazenly descend on innocent students on the campus and brag about having the backing of the school’s management. She disclosed that violent acts by various cult gangs had soared on the campus.

As the family of late Mr. Tunji Okusanya Snr, Managing Director, MIC Funeral Services, battles to get over the tragedy that befell them after the ill-fated Associated Airlines plane crash that killed him and four of his workers, some unknown women have surfaced in the family claiming to have children for the deceased Okusanya Snr.

Three of Yinka Ayefele’s band boys disappear in the US

As gospel music styled secular singer, Yinka Ayefele arrived the country Tuesday, following a six-week musical tour of the United States, there appeared to be a ‘dent’ on the emotion of the artiste, whose fulfilment of the concert was partially shattered by the disappearance of three of his band boys.

The other members of the group arrived amidst cheers by fans, but one could tell that the leader of the band was worried; perhaps knowing the credibility question the defection by the boys could pose to his career. Reports say the ‘gospel tungba’ crooner, has written to the United States Homeland Security to track and deport the three guys who defected at the tail-end of the inter city concert.

The band left the country on September 2, performing at Washington, Maryland, Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas.

“It will be a fantastic achievement for Moyes to win any trophy at all” – Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson believes it would be a “fantastic achievement” for his Manchester United successor David Moyes to win any trophy this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s autobiography is the subject of fevered anticipation in the footballing world.
Moyes has endured a rocky start to life at Old Trafford after taking over from Ferguson, and was frustrated again as Southampton scored a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
It means United have won just three of their opening eight Premier League matches to fall eight points behind early leaders Arsenal — but they have begun their Champions League campaign well and defeated Liverpool to advance in the Capital One Cup.
In an exclusive interview with MUTV, Ferguson said any kind of silverware should be regarded as a success this season.
“For David, winning a trophy would be a fantastic achievement no matter what it is — the League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup or Premier League,” he said.
“We’ve always had priorities obviously, and David is aware of that, but I hope he achieves it.”
United, who have never finished lower than third in the Premier League era, are currently eighth in the table, but Ferguson stressed: “The key for David is not to look to do anything better or less but just to maintain what the club has been for 20-odd years and keep the success going.

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Saturday failed to take an obvious position on the proposed National Conference by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Its Ime Obi (highest decision organ), after yesterday’s meeting held at the secretariat of Ohanaeze in Enugu, said it needed to consult widely before a position is announced.

The group which has been at the forefront of the proposed Conference, spoke through its Deputy Secretary General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, who briefed journalists at the end of the meeting.
“We have a responsibility as a group, we also want to ensure that we properly consult the nooks and crannies of Ndigbo and the governors before taking our position”, he said.

BBC News - Nigerian governor Amaechi on his rivalry with president

A former member of the National Assembly, Mr Ehiogie West-Idahosa, has thrown his weight behind Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State for signing into law capital punishment for kidnappers in the state.
The former lawmaker who represented Ovia North-East and South-West Constituency in the House of Representatives, hailed the governor over his decision, noting that the law would only be successful if it was properly implemented by the appropriate security agencies.
“I am convinced that death penalty for kidnappers will definitely send the signal that the state is not ready to accept criminality,’’ West-Idahosa said.

HEART ATTACKS AND WATER ! How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night. Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting....... Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement! I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist! Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion 1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure 1 glass of water before going to bed -
