WATER & SANITATION...The Swedish government is about to make a huge decision that could vastly improve countless lives around Africa & the world

The Swedish government has newly approved extra funds from their aids budgets to be made available to help countless people get access to water and sanitation globally. In the next few days from now, the government will have to decide on how to spend these funds, meant to help the billions of people suffering from disease and malnutrition, missing school, and dying before the age of 5, because they lack access to safe water and sanitation due to extreme poverty.

Sweden has already committed itself to the movement for global access to water and sanitation. In fact, Sweden committed at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival to provide 60 million people with water and sanitation by 2030. Sweden also listened to Global Citizens when they handed over a petition to its government during Stockholm World Water Week, calling for delivery on its water and sanitation commitment and to maintain its strong contributions to development aid. And it worked. After the petition handover, Sweden announced that it would increase its ambition toward meeting its commitment as well as maintain its strong aid, overturning the precedent set earlier that involved reallocating aid dollars to pay for refugee resettlement costs.

Now Sweden is prioritizing its aid development budget, thanks to the GLOBAL CITIZEN movement petition. Once again, let's encourage the government and make sure they and other capable wealthy countries, organizations, emulates & continue on this path that Global Citizens helped pave.   What better time to announce new support as Swedes and many others around the world prepare for the holiday season.

By giving these funds to organizations with a proven track record on delivering sanitation results at scale, as Sweden continue its leadership in the push for universal water and sanitation. The expectation is that NGO’s / Charity organizations in Africa, with proven track records on delivering on water & sanitation would key in to tap from these funds for a great impact on the continent.

Nigerian Customs Service Officials on the highways this festive season.

Ehizibue Suzy   took to her Facebook account to share her thoughts on the activities of the Nigerian Customs Service Officials on the highways this festive season.  . Read what she wrote after the cut...

 

Please if you plan to travel with your vehicle (that was imported less than 6 years ago) I plead that you pause and think about those sheets of paper known as "custom papers".The Nigerian Customs Service officials are not smiling; they are very willing to impound your vehicle for any irregularity on your custom papers, you then have to discharge all your personal effects from your vehicle and look for alternative transportation means of returning to your base or continue to your destination. This option is often after you and your vehicle have been detained, you would be of course offered bail but with attendant tough conditions – remember you are probably about 300km away from your base and about 250km to your destination – meeting those conditions is no tea party.

By the time you get to the compound / warehouse, humility would have become your second nature and anything they tell you, you will be in a hurry to comply. You will probably also understand that your case is small and insignificant when you see the assortment of exotic vehicles already impounded, and you hear people discussing the imminent forfeiture of some of those exotic vehicles to the Government.

My Christmas advice to all who might fall into this group is to please take your custom papers to any customs formation to confirm the validity of the documents you have, first they would likely check to see if adequate duty was paid then they would also check if the said duty was actually paid. If you have a friend that works with the Customs service better ask the person to help you check your documents before you set off rather than call them to help you beg when you have been caught.

The sad fact is that all these issues are caused by the collusion of some Customs officials and clearing agents, then another set of Customs officials would deal with your situation on the highway.We currently have about seven (7) Customs check point between Ijebu-Ode and Asaba. The experience is not what you would wish your enemy, especially not during the end of year festivities. Wish everyone a wonderful and blissful festive period, as you drive safe to arrive alive.

The DSS wanted to shoot Nyesom Wike.

The DSS in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, wanted to shoot Nyesom Wike the state governor; it all started in the early hours of Saturday when scores of DSS agents besieged the house of a Federal High Court judge at No. 35, Forces Avenue, old GRA. In what had been widely reported in various media platforms as “The illegal failed abduction of a High Court Judge”, Allegedly Led by Mr. Tosin Ajayi, Rivers State Director of the DSS; and Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mr. Francis Odesanya.
According to Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, Governor Wike’s Special Assistant on Electronic Media, The governor had rushed to the scene of the incidence as the chief security officer of the state, having received security information on the illegal moves, minutes after the operation started at about 1am on Saturday morning. The security operatives blocked the entrance of the residence of the judge, claiming that they were acting on orders from above. As they dragged Governor Wike, insisting that they must be allowed to leave with the judge,” the DSS manhandled the Governor pushing him around and injuring his hand. A few of them cocked their rifles and threatened to shoot him.
This development is certainly a very bad one for Nigeria’s democracy. Nigeria is really in big trouble. More so, some of the big question as is being raised in the social media by close watchers includes,
Nnaemeka Syl Nwosu

Who is the chief security officer of a state in Nigeria?
The governor of that state yet DSS wanted to shoot Nyesom Wike.
Is DSS now the body that probes fraud in Nigeria?
Let us assume you caught a judge in the act of committing a crime on the street is the procedure not collect evidence, collect statements and whatever you do respect the principle that only a competent court can try them and that they are innocent until proven guilty.
What is this trial by media and keeping judges jailed for more than 24 hours?
Grandiose manipulation of the masses and the media...Nigeria is in trouble.
DSS says they found money in the houses of judges. Why should anyone believe them?,
DSS claims they found money in the house of judges. Why do you believe them?
Remember that Buhari has a stake in muzzling the judiciary. How? The certificate case is enough to remove him from power at the very least.

      Now take a critical look and consider these facts: as posited by Lere Olayinka

1) Search Warrants are executed between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM except on weekends.
2) Search Warrants are valid only if issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
3) Search Warrants obtained in one State of Nigeria cannot be executed in another State excepted it is endorsed by a Magistrate or Judge equal in rank to the one that issued the Warrant.
4) Only two or three agencies in Nigeria are charged with the investigation of corruption cases namely the EFCC, the ICPC and the Nigeria Police.
5) Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and VIPs who do not constitute a flight risk are usually invited to appear before investigation Agencies.
6) The National Judicial Commission (NJC) is the only body empowered to sanction Judges and Justices found wanting in the discharge of their duties.
7) A current Governor is the Chief Security Officer of his State.
8) A current Governor enjoys immunity in terms of prosecution and the inviolability of his person.
9) The Judges in question have issued unfavorable judgments against the arresting Agency in the past, thus casting aspersions on the motive for their arrest.
ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION
1) did the arresting Agency actually procure an Arrest Warrant from a Court of competent jurisdiction?
2) Did the arresting Agency adhere to the rules governing the procurement and execution of a Search Warrant?
3) Did the arresting Agency exhaust the option of extending an invitation to the suspects before procuring the Arrest Warrant?
4) Did the arrested suspects at any time pose the risk of taking to flight?
5) Does the arresting Agency not have people at all the land, sea and air borders to prevent an escape of the suspects?
6) Did the arresting Agency at any time write a letter to the National Judicial Commission (NJC) highlighting the offences committed by the suspects and demanding their release for an interview?
Also these one from Nkporon Oji Awala
BRIEF SCORE CARDS OF THE "CORRUPT" JUSTICES!!
Justice Liman gave judgment against Modu Sheriff and that hurt the APC.
Justice Liman also restrained INEC from announcing any results or figures howsoever generated or compiled purporting to be result of the re-run election for any or all of Khana, Bonny, Gokana, Andoni, Eleme and Tai Local Government Areas of Rivers State or any part of the re-run election scheduled for March 19, 2016 which election was subsequently suspended or postponed. Justice Liman narrowly missed been "stinged" by the DSS.

Justice Pingina insisted on due process in the Rivers State Governorship election tribunal sittings. He was removed midway during the sitting of the tribunal when APC saw that PDP was having the upper hand. The rest is history. Justice Pingina has just been "stinged" by DSS.

Justice Adeniyi Ademola, a brilliant judge, eldest grandson of a great former CJN of Nigeria, Adetokunbo Ademola was a judge who knew his onions. He came from a tradition. He could not be pushed around by powers that be. He ordered thrice that Dasuki be released. This did not go down well with Buhari and his government. They disobeyed his orders and concocted a new offence to rearrest Dasuki. Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja also in May 26, 2016 dismissed Buhari's preliminary objection in a suit filed by an Abuja-based legal practitioner Mr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe concerning Buhari certificate (WAEC). Justice Ademola has just been "stinged" by DSS

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, a brilliant judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja was the judge who warned DSS to stop disobeying orders of court and told them not to come to his court again if they would not obey court orders. DSS was angry with this. They wanted to "sting" him but got a wrong name. However, they succeeded in breaking into his house and beating up his brother only for them to look into the paper they had on them to discover that it was not his name that was on the paper. That sure hurt them.

JSCs Ngwuta and Okoro sat on appeals that gave decisions against APC interest. They have just been "stinged" by DSS.

KID SENSATION, OZZYBEE RELEASES HIS NEW SINGLE “CHARLIE DANCE”, SHOWCASES HIS “STOP CHILD CRUELTY” CAMPAIGN

Multiple award winning kid artiste and "Stop Child Cruelty" campaigner, OzzyBee aka Ozzybosco WonderKid has just released his new music single titled CHARLIE DANCE.  It is a sublime Afro HipHop rap produced by the prolific kid artiste and featuring Vector & RuggedMan.  This new  single is use to promote  OzzyBee's  “Stop Child Cruelty” campaign and guess what?  In his own words,"the late boxing Champ icon Muhammad Ali, posited Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, and they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill”. The kid artist epitomizes all of these.

The "Stop Child Cruelty" campaingner who turned nine (9) in January 2016, has not only churned out a historic rap music for his fans but also featured two of Nigeria’s rap icons, the enigmatic Vector the Viper and the Veteran RuggedMan aka Ruggedy Baba on the song to give his fans and the music industry a classic HipHop experience. Charlie Dance is another exceptional effort from OzzyBee following his previous songs and videos including Smile Again, Tinini Ft. Olamide Baddo, Sweet Mama ft Flavour Ozingo Dance ft  M.I;  Mama Africa; Superstar ft Lamboginny; You Reign ft Midnight Crew amongst others.The song "Charlie Dance" blends HipHop with dance and the video will feature the Charlie dance moves!!!

The energetic Superstar has not stopped to amaze critics as he effectively combine his music career, schooling with his humanitarian pet project called “Stop Child Cruelty” which he is so passionate of.

In view of the fact that Charlie Dance is dedicated to the "Stop Child Cruelty" campaign,  he has effectively utilized the power of music to take the campaign to various schools such as, Great Anchor School, Glob-Tog School, Stel-Dan School and Fluorescent Private Academy where the children and parents readily supported his laudable initiatives while the schools called for partnership with him. He also took the campaign to other top events, which include The City People Entertainment Awards, where the project "Stop Child Cruelty" campaign received massive support and endorsements from people of top echelon in society. He vowed to carry his campaign to streets, schools, market places and indeed all States in Nigeria and beyond, until this wickedness to innocent children are totally eradicated. In his own words “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” to child cruelty.

Creating the ultimate connection with these helpless and less privileged innocent children obviously takes being completely willing and open to be fully felt, heard and seen by the world, the pains and agony that these kids go through on a daily basis. By being vulnerable, totally defenseless, and deeply receptive, as victims of these illicit abuses, OzzyBee via the “Stop Child Cruelty" campaign explores the innermost essence of living which is Love and Care to give the victims of child cruelty an opportunity to experience profound state of intimacy and support from the privileged members of the society using the power of his music  “CHARLIE DANCE” to drive the campaign to both local and global audience.

The CHILD CRUELTY CAMPAIGN PROJECT is basically OzzyBee's passionate intents to explore the power of music for local and global outreach in transforming the lives of CHILD CRUELTY VICTIMS.

While you await the sizzling Charlie Dance video, which comes up soon, you can stream and download the song directly to your devices. Enjoy the good music and support your home boy by spreading the word to your friends and family

They are Slaughtering Nigerian citizens in the name of Prophet Mohammed

Brutal killing and beheading of a southern woman’s head all in the name of religion, subject to a being called #PROPHET MUHAMMED is exactly the case.  An Igbo trader identified as Mrs. Bridget Patience Agbahime from Orodo town, Mbaitoli LGA in Imo State married to Mr Mike Agbahime -a senior pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church, Brigade Quarters in Kano state was today beaten to death in Kano State in the name of blasphemy.

Speaking to National Helm, Pastor Ken who is also in Kano gave a detailed narration of how the woman was beaten to death in presence of her husband. In his words; Mrs. Bridget who sells plastic materials at the popular Kofar Wambai market by Yan’roba, was about to close her shop on Thursday June 2, 2016 by 4.30pm in preparation to attend a scheduled church activity. Unfortunately she couldn’t make it to that scheduled church service, due to an ignoramus and wicked Islamic religious fanatic, said to be her neighbor, identified as Dauda, who according to eye witness report came in front of her shop, as at the time to wash his hands and feet, a ritual exercise in preparation for his own prayers.

Mrs. Bridget told him to leave the front of her shop that she wants to lock the door. The man refused and told her to wait till he finishes with what he’s doing. (N.B; Mrs. Bridget had been having serious problems with Dauda to the extent that their matter has been reported to the market’s association numerously).

So she persisted that he should leave her shop, instead of complying the man started raining abuses on her saying that he would deal with her in the market. After people started gathering around due to the insults and abuses, the man calmed down and left…

The woman thinking all had ended -went to meet her husband who also has a shop in the same market but different location to report as usual. Both her and her husband went to meet the landlord of her shop one Alhaji Mustapha – a prominent trader in the market which has been their advocate -to table the latest issue at hand.

While they were reporting the case to Mustapha in his shop, Dauda and his reinforced gang gathered and started chanting that the woman must die for blaspheming against Prophet Mohammed. The Alhaji pleaded with them to come back in a few days’ time promising to settle the matter but they vehemently refused and started stoning him. The Alhaji ran for his life leaving Mr. Mike and his wife in his shop…

The woman knowing that her end had come -knelt down and started praying before she was beaten and clubbed to death by the mob right in front of her husband. Though there is now an unconfirmed conflicting report that SHE WAS NEVER BEHEADED as being presented by most online media. However, Dauda and his cohorts have been arrested and are currently in Kano State police station. While Mr. Mike has left his base located at Warri road and is currently at an undisclosed hotel in the metropolis over fear of his life.

Don’t forget it was a similar circumstance that triggered a contained riot in Abuja, by #president Obasanjo, during the event of miss world beauty pageant organized by the silver bird group led by now well Known #common sense SENATOR BEN BRUCE
