LP lawmakers ask Tinubu to release Kanu, implement financial autonomy

Members of the South-East House of Assembly caucus of the Labour Party have joined the call for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group, in a five-point communique made available to journalists in Awka on Saturday, said the release of Kanu will separate genuine agitators from criminals and kidnappers as well as douse insecurity in the South-East.

Kanu has been at the DSS detention since 2021 after he was renditioned from Kenya.

The communique signed by 11 lawmakers was read by the leader of the LP South-East caucus, Jude Umennajiego, on Saturday, indicating that the Kanu’s continued detention is also encouraging criminal elements masquerading as agitators to commit crimes.

Umennajiego said the communique was issued after their meeting of members of the caucus on July 10 2024.

It read partly, “We, therefore, lend our voices in appealing to President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, release

“Nnamdi Kanu, so as to douse the current insecurity ravaging the South-East zone. This insecurity has grounded the economy of the region and has occasioned the unprecedented loss of human lives as well as the destruction of property.

“His release will act as a healing balm to the region and also encourage the feeling of oneness as a nation. Furthermore, it will separate genuine agitators from criminals in the business of kidnapping.”

The lawmakers also appealed to the South-East governors and their counterparts across the country to work towards granting full financial autonomy to the state Houses of Assembly in accordance with the constitution and the principles of separation of powers.

According to the communique, granting full autonomy to state Houses of Assembly will go a long way in ensuring more robust assemblies, thereby enhancing their functionalities in the area of law-making, oversight and other attendant legislative duties.

It read further, “Following the example of the Federal Government, full financial autonomy will deepen democracy in the states and ensure more quality and effective representation.

“That the Federal Government should ensure the quick resolution of the current minimum wage impasse between the governments, organised private sector and labour unions. With the current economic reality and astronomical increment in the prices of goods and services, it would be wrong for the government not to hearken to the voice of the NLC/TUC who represent the voice of the suffering masses. Nigerians are in agony on account of the current harsh economic situation, and the worst hit appears to be the workers, whose income is obviously not enough under the current situation.

“We abhor the recent hasty incarceration of Hon. Bright Ngene, who is a candidate in a rerun election in Enugu State, whose prison sentence seemed to be politically motivated. We call on the National Judicial Council to look into the case and ensure that justice is done. It is surprising that even when the community, who are the complainants in the case, opted to withdraw the case, the court still proceeded to trial and sentenced him to jail in controversial and suspicious circumstances without giving room for the adoption of written addresses by the parties.

“We also appeal to the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly to as a matter of urgency ensure that in accordance with the standing order of the House, the minority positions due to the Labour Party are given to them without further delay. You recall that recently, some Labour Party members decamped to the PDP, going along with them the minority leadership positions of the Labour Party in the house. Since you have only two parties in the house, It is only right that the Labour Party is now in the minority and should be entitled to their minority leadership positions.

“As the speaker, who is the father to all in the House, it is only right and just that the positions be returned to the Labour Party to ensure fairness and equity.”

The communique was signed by the caucus leader, Jude Umennajiego, Kingsley Udemezue, Chidimma Mbachu, Nkechi Ogbuefi, Justice Azuka, Harrison Ogara, Eze Gabriel, Malachy Onyechi, Raymond Ugwu, Fred Ezenwa and Osita Okoh.

Killers of septuagenarian farmer, PoS operator arrested in Ogun

Two members of a seven-person criminal gang, Chukwuma Bartholomew and Igwe Monday, who allegedly abducted and murdered Point of Sale operator, Olúwaṣeun Oworu, and 71-year-old farmer Adekunle Ifelaja in the Ijebu-Igbo area of Ogun State, have been arrested.

On Saturday, According Online learnt that the suspects were responsible for a series of kidnappings and murders in Ijebu-Igbo before being arrested at their hideouts in Ijebu on June 28, 2024, following months of intelligence gathering and tracking by the state police command.

A police source, who was privy to the sting operation but chose to remain anonymous due to a lack of authority to speak for the command, stated that the syndicate had invaded Oworu’s house on July 29, 2023, in the Ojowo community in the city.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspects robbed the victim of his property, including a point-of-sale machine with a Monie Point account, and later shot Oworu dead before escaping the crime scene.

The source also informed our correspondent that on November 23, 2023, the same seven-man criminal syndicate stormed the home of 34-year-old Ogunyemi Femi, not far from where Oworu was allegedly shot and killed, and abducted Femi to an unknown location.

“After they kidnapped him, they took him to an unknown destination. A few days later, they made a video of the victim and sent it to his family to demand ransom.

“The family rallied around to pay the ransom, but these wicked criminals refused to release the victim to his family,” the cop said.

Emboldened by their previous crimes, the gang abducted Ifelaja from his farm at Oke-Sopen in Ijebu-Igbo on December 31, 2023, according to the police source.

According Online learnt that after capturing the elderly farmer, they recorded a video of the 71-year-old man and sent it to his family via WhatsApp, demanding a ransom for his release.

The farmer, popularly known as Adeife, had been living alone on his farm in the Odomosibi area of Ijebu-Igbo before the suspects forcibly dragged him into a vehicle and took him away.

“They received the ransom, but when the family was expecting the release of their loved ones, this gang refused to set him free despite receiving the ransom,” the source added.

According Online also learnt that the gang had been using the PoS machine stolen from the late Oworu to conduct their criminal transactions with the victims’ grieving families.

The command’s spokesman, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrests during a telephone interview on Saturday. She stated that the suspects had confessed to the crimes and would be duly prosecuted.

During interrogation, Odutola informed our correspondent that the suspects had also confessed to killing both the 71-year-old farmer and Femi, despite having received large ransoms from their families and refusing to release them.

Odutola added, “A thorough investigation led to the hideouts of the criminals and their arrest on June 28, 2024, in Ijebu-Igbo. They confessed that they killed Ogunyemi Femi and Sunday Ifelaja and buried them in a shallow grave in a forest in Ijebu-Igbo. The suspects are currently taking the CP and other police officers to the forest to exhume the deceased victims.

“Efforts are currently being intensified to arrest other fleeing members of the gang.”

According Online reported on July 3, 2024, that the command announced the killing of two kidnappers during a gunfight. The suspects were reportedly responsible for abducting four travellers along the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode expressway on Sunday night.

State Police Commissioner Abiodun Alamutu also revealed that the four abducted travellers—one Nigerian and three Indian nationals—had been freed.

Our correspondent reported that 109 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, five AK47 rifles, eight AK magazines, and two cell phones were recovered from the kidnappers.

While praising the state command for the swift operation that led to the release of the victims and the killing of two kidnappers, Governor Dapo Abiodun warned other criminals that the government would use all available resources to drive them out of the state.

Experts advocate prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission

Experts advocate prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission

Experts in the health sector have called for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Nigeria.

They include representatives from the Centre for Integrated Health Programs, the National AIDS and STI Control Program of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, and the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Nigeria.

A statement released to The According on Saturday said the group unveiled a Baby Shower Toolkit in Lagos.

The event, titled ‘Dissemination of the Toolkit for the implementation of Baby Showers in Congregational Settings for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV,’ was hosted by the CIHP.

Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for Integrated Health Programs, Dr Bola Oyeledun, explained that the innovative Baby Shower Toolkit initiative utilises the influence of religious institutions in educating expectant mothers about preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV and the importance of prenatal care.

Oyeledun detailed that the toolkit includes guidelines for organising these events, managing effective group sizes, and training health assistants to support the program.

He said, “The initiative targets women through religious leaders equipped with toolkits to educate congregations. Pregnant women attending these sessions will undergo testing for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis, and sickle cell disease. They and their partners will also have access to testing.

“HIV-positive mothers will receive access to antiretroviral drugs, significantly reducing transmission risks to their babies.

“We can reduce HIV transmission from mother to child in our communities, religious centres, and health facilities. Every Nigerian woman should know her HIV status; all these are preventable and do not need to be passed on to our babies.”

US CDC Nigeria Representative, Dr Timothy Efuntoye, emphasised, “Every woman should know her HIV status before, during, and after pregnancy to apply preventive measures if at risk. Women should adopt a culture of regular check-ups.”

He added that the unveiled toolkit was part of efforts to end HIV/AIDS transmission to children, a highly preventable goal.

He maintained that there was a need for collaboration among stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the ‘Baby Shower Toolkits’ at the grassroots level.

Efuntoye noted that recent statistics indicated a significant number of those affected were women and children.

He assured continued support from the centre in providing antiretroviral HIV drugs to sustain their health.

PMTCT lead of the National AIDS and STI Control Program, Dr Hafsat Iyanda, underscored that the initiative aimed to save lives by harnessing the influence of religious communities in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Senior Technical Advisor, Dr Chuckwu Onwuchekwa, explained, “The Baby Shower initiative employs a congregational-based approach to offer HIV testing to pregnant women and their partners. Places of worship serve as standardised venues for treatment and testing.’ He urged all pregnant women to enrol in antenatal care and stressed the importance for HIV-positive pregnant women to undergo testing and receive antiretroviral therapy to prevent transmission to their babies.

“‘This initiative began as research in Enugu. Due to promising results, we decided to pilot it first in Benue State.”

Onwuchekwa added, “We compiled all findings and reports into comprehensive toolkits, which provide everything needed for program implementation.”

Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency, Dr Folake Amimasheun, revealed that the initiative had a dual benefit, preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV and addressing gaps in pediatric ART, saying early identification of HIV-positive mothers enables immediate linkage to treatment, significantly reducing transmission risks to their babies.

She urged all stakeholders, including government officials, religious leaders, healthcare professionals, and community members, to actively support the program.

Also speaking, Lagos Coordinator of the Network of People Infected or Affected by HIV, Rev. Kehinde Babarinde, said, “The program extends beyond testing. To encourage participation, expectant mothers receive a “mama pack” containing essential birthing supplies such as antiseptic wipes, a razor blade for cord cutting, a cord clamp, soap, and towels. The entire program is offered completely free of charge, and participation is voluntary.

“This innovative approach not only enhances access to HIV testing but also provides crucial supplies for childbirth.”

How to Start Exercising in College If You’ve Never Exercised Before

How to Start Exercising in College If You’ve Never Exercised Before

How do you start a college workout program when busy with classes, academics, and making new friends? It’s easier than you think, and the rewards are plentiful. Watch this quick and easy guide on how to workout in college and start achieving your fitness goals.

Exploring the Physical Benefits of Fitness

Regular workouts and a healthy diet are vital to your overall well-being. This may improve your health and reduce the risk of developing severe or chronic diseases. Some of the many health benefits of staying physically fit include:

  • lose weight or maintain a healthy weight;
  • stabilize blood sugar levels;
  • strengthen your bones and muscles;
  • improve your sleep quality;
  • extend your life;
  • reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, some cancers, and other health problems.

Besides vast physical benefits, fitness is good for your mental health.

Find Time to Workout in College

Even if you’re interested in reaping exercise’s physical and mental health benefits, you may need help to carve out time from your busy schedule. We have more time than we think since we spend a lot of hours weekly on frivolous activities like browsing social media.

  • Keep a journal for a week.

Every day, write down what you do and how much time you spend on it. At the end of the week, count how much time you spent on activities that didn’t help you achieve your goals.

If you cut back on these activities, you’ll likely have more free time in your schedule than you thought. Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier a few days a week and dedicate that time to fitness.

  • You can also multitask while working out.

Some of your college textbooks may be available in audio. You can listen to them during your workout or educational podcasts to help you better understand the course material. Also, you shouldn’t worry about completing your essays, as you can order paper writing from PaperWritings.com, and their experts will take care of your assignments.

  • You can use workout time as a brainstorming session.

If you’re writing an essay, you can plan your main argument and rough outline while you’re on the treadmill. Bring a small notebook and pen to take quick notes during your workout.

Above all, treat your training as a responsibility you cannot ignore. If you schedule your workouts the same way you plan your studies, you’ll likely find enough time to exercise.

Getting started with your college workouts

Now, you are ready to take action. When starting a fitness program, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Start slow and build up gradually. Warm up with light walking or gentle stretching before the workout. Increase the speed that you can maintain for 5 to 10 minutes without getting too tired.
  • As your energy improves, gradually increase your workout time. Build up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
  • Don’t do all the exercises at the same time. Adjust your activity during the day. You still get the aerobic benefits of shorter workouts done several times daily. Additionally, shorter sessions fit better into your schedule than a single 30-minute session. Any activity is better than no activity.
  •  Warm up using dynamic stretching—active movements that warm up and flex the muscles you’ll use, such as kicking, walking lunges, or arm swings—and do a slower, more accessible version of the upcoming exercise. For example, if you are going to run, warm up by walking. Or, if you lift weights, start with a few easy reps.
  • Maybe you like to walk, bike, and row, but don’t stop there. Go on a weekend hike with the family or spend the evening ballroom dancing. Find activities you enjoy and add them to your workout routine.
  • Take a break if you are feeling discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea. Don’t push yourself too hard.
  • Drink a lot of water. Your body works best when it is properly hydrated. Not drinking enough water for a long period of time, especially in hot conditions, can be dangerous.
  • You can take a day or two off if you don’t feel well.
  • Having others cheer for us and support us through our training, ups and downs, helps keep our motivation strong. There are many online fitness communities you can join or try working out with friends in person, use fitness apps that allow you to track and compare your progress.
  • After exercising, it is essential to take a few minutes to cool down and allow your heart rate to return to resting levels. For example, a light jog or walk after a run or light stretching after strength training can also help prevent soreness and injury.

Be kind to yourself. Research shows that self-compassion increases your likelihood of succeeding in any endeavor. So don’t beat yourself up about your body, current fitness level, or perceived lack of willpower. All this will demotivate you. Look at your mistakes and unhealthy choices as opportunities to improve your habits.

Check your progress

Assess your fitness level six weeks after starting the program. After that repeat it every few months. You may need to add more exercise time, or you may find that you exercise is enough to achieve your fitness goals.

If you are losing motivation, set new goals or try a new activity. Work out with a friend or take a class at the fitness center.

Starting a fitness program is a big decision. But plan it carefully and pace yourself. You can develop a healthy habit that will last a lifetime.

How to Stay Motivated to Workout

No matter how much you enjoy working out now, you may lose interest over time. Remember that it’s important to balance your hobbies and college responsibilities. According to The Jerusalem Post, cooperating with an essay writing service is a good option to consider when you realize you have little time to do homework on your own. To maintain your interest, try something new or change how you do exercises that have worked so far.

  • Complement your workout with a treat.

You can listen to an audiobook or watch your favorite TV show on the treadmill or exercise bike.

Keep track of your workouts and progress. Writing down your to-dos or tracking them in an app increases commitment and keeps you accountable to your daily routine. It can also be helpful later to look back at where you started.

Read health and fitness magazines, visit an exercise website, get inspired by photos of active people, and follow fitness bloggers on Instagram. Sometimes, watching pictures of healthy and fit people can encourage you to move your body.

Jos building collapse: Gov Mutfwang orders immediate closure of affected school, arrest of artisanal miners

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State on Saturday ordered the immediate closure of Saint Academy, Busa Buji, in Jos North LGA of the state.
The governor also ordered the arrest of artisanal miners mining around residential areas in the state.
TVN recalls that on Friday (yesterday) a two-storey building collapsed in the aforementioned school, claiming the lives of over 20 people, among them students and teachers, while leaving several others with various degrees of injuries.
The State Police Command, through its Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, had confirmed the death of 22 people and 132 rescued, among whom are receiving treatment in some tertiary health facilities in the state capital.
Mutfwang gave the order while visiting the scene of the incident.
“I’m ordering the closure of Saint Academy with immediate effect.
“And I’m also ordering security agencies to arrest any artisanal miners mining in residential areas across the state.”
While commiserating with the families of the victims of the incident, the governor promised that the government will bear the cost of the treatment of those injured.

Students hail Abiodun’s efforts on Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta expressway

Students hail Abiodun’s efforts on Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta expressway

Students under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students and the National Association of Ogun State Students have said that the reconstruction of Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta will boost the national economy and bring a lot of relief to both motorists and commuters plying the road.

Both NANS and NAOSS have therefore hailed Governor Dapo Abiodun on the efforts of his administration to fix the deplorable road belonging to the Federal Government in the state.

The students disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday and signed by the Chairman of NANS, Ogun State, Adeyanju Francis and the National President of NAOSS, Kehinde Thomas.

They said that the governor’s persistent efforts in ensuring that the Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta Expressway is rehabilitated showed that he is feeling the agonies of commuters on the road.

The groups particularly commended the governor for his recent on-the-spot assessment of the Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta Expressway, where he attributed bureaucratic bottlenecks to the delay in the reconstruction of the road.

The students pointed out that Abiodun cannot be held liable for the deplorable condition of this road, especially when his efforts in the past to make the FG cede the road to Ogun state for reconstruction failed.

They argued that “rather than being blamed, the governor should be lauded for his resilience to trudge on and eventually got the nod of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration to embark on the reconstruction of the important road.

While urging the people of Ogun to continue to support the incumbent administration in the state, the student bodies expressed optimism “that the suffering of commuters on the expressway will soon be over with the governor disclosing that the contract for the reconstruction of the road had been signed in May.

“We are also sure that when this road is completed as promised by the governor, it will not only give impetus to the economic wellbeing of the state, but that of the nation and of course serve as a big boost to our national economy”.

On the reconstruction of the 20-kilometre Agbara-Lusada-Atan road, the associations commended the state government on the level of work done so far on the industrial road.

They added that the governor’s statement that the road would be completed in September further reinforced the confidence of students in his ability to walk his talk, especially on the infrastructural development of the state.

The students, while calling on the FG to give maximum cooperation to the state government on the reconstruction of the Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta Expressway, have equally charged Abiodun not to be distracted by “armchair critics”, especially on social media, but be focused on his determination to leave the state far better than he met it.

Two YPP lawmakers defect to LP in Abia

Two Young Progressive Party members of the Abia State House of Assembly dumped their party for the Labour Party on Friday.

The lawmakers are Fyne Ahuama of Osisioma Ngwa South and Iheanacho Nwogu of Osisioma Ngwa North.

The Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, officially received them.

Receiving the new members at Ngwa High School, Aba, during a reception, Otti said that the two members have been working with his government since its inception.

He said that they did not join him for any pecuniary reasons but because of their belief in a functional government, adding that his government is one that does not share money but creates an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

“I want to put on record that the two gentlemen who just declared their membership of the Labour Party have actually been working with us. They are not working with us for any personal reasons.

“Immediately after our inauguration, I convened a meeting with all the members of the assembly, and I used that opportunity to introduce to them the kind of government we intended to run.

“The majority of them bought into that vision; both Hon. Fyne Ahuama and Hon. Iheanacho Nwogu were one of the first members of the House of Assembly that bought into the vision,” he said.

He added that “our government is a government that supports business and creates an enabling environment for people to make money. Our government gives people access so that they can be independent. Our government is not a government that shares fish; our government is a government that teaches people how to fish.

“So, this is not a government that shares money, and we are unapologetic about it. We are a government that supports business, and our message to the opposition and all the people is that we are not going to share money.”

The governor, who said he is focused on working for the people, added that he has the support of the people and announced that after observing that the contractor handling Ekeakpara Road is not fast in the delivery, he has directed the Commissioner for Works to summon him with a view to ensuring that the work meets up with the expected speed.

He disclosed that more roads would be built in Osisioma Ngwa LGA and announced that in the next 24 months, a five-star hotel and an international conference centre would be built in Aba to boost the economy.

He thanked the Osisioma people for their support of his administration and said that the Labour Party registeration processes are at the wards and open to accepting new members, and he enjoined people to get registered with the party.

Also speaking, the Labour Party Vice Chairman for the South East, Mr. Ceekey Igara, appreciated the work of the governor.

He urged the governor to sustain his giant strides and encouraged the new members to contribute to the growth of the party.

In their speeches earlier, the two members of the state House of Assembly who defected to the Labour Party, Ahuama and Nwogu, said they were attracted to the party by the good works of Otti, adding that they have been supporting him from inception.

They thanked the LP for giving them the platform and assured that they would strengthen the party and ensure members of the party multiplied in their areas.

With this, the YPP no longer has any member at the Abia State House of Assembly, while the LP now becomes the majority party with 12 lawmakers, the PDP has 11, and the APC has one.
