Obasanjo launches children storybook

‎
Ex President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has launched a children storybook. Titled, ‘Peace Story for Children‘, the book which was launched today to commemorate the 2015 International Day of Peace. The elder statesman believes that one of the most effective ways to ensure sustainable peace was to instill a culture of non-violence and peaceful co-existence in the youth and children.

//
Acclaimed administrator and Director, OOPL, CHS, Prof. Peter Okebukola, who represented Obasanjo at the event stated that, “Baba Obasanjo believes that the youth are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. And so, we should start planting the seeds of peace in their hearts.



//
“We are conveying the peace story in a story. Children love stories. This book is to tell the children how they can be part of peace-making in their homes; peace-making with their friends, peace-making in their schools, peace-making nationally.
“It is only when there is sustainable peace that the country can have sustainable development.” ‘The CHS Peace Project for Children’ was a deliberate action that would ensure the entrenchment of sustainable peace in the country.

He continued, “Today, we are bringing together Nigerian youths to deepen their understanding of the benefits of peace and how they can individually and collectively promote and pursue the ideals of peace.



//
“As the world celebrates the International Peace Day, the Centre for Human Security commends the efforts of the government and various organisations in responding to the various security challenges and threats in the country and implores everyone to devise measures to prevent conflicts. The centre remains committed to ensuring sustainable peace.”

Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro quits Stamford Bridge.

‎Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro has parted ways with the club following her row with The Blues manager, Jose Mourinho 6 weeks ago. Recall that The Portuguese criticised Eva and head physio Jon Fearn after they ran over nto the pitch to treat midfielder Eden Hazard during the 2-2 draw with Swansea on 8 August.‎
Mourinho claimed they didn’t understand the game.
//
“I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive. Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game.

“You have to know you have one player less and to assist a player you must be sure he has a serious problem. I was sure Eden did not have a serious problem. He had a knock. He was tired.‎” Mourinho told Sky Sports in a post-match interview.



//
After the incident, Eva was relieved of her touchline duties and was no longer allowed to attend matches or training sessions.‎ 
A‎ month and a half after, last Friday to be precise, the 42 year-old was invited back to work but she refused to show up. She’s left the Stamford Bridge and is reportedly pursuing legal actions against the English club.
//
‎A week ago, The Football Association revealed that it is investigating a complaint that the ex Real Madrid boss used abusive or sexist language towards her.

Arsenal centre-back, Gabriel's 3-match ban overturned.

Arsenal have won their appeal against the 3-match suspension of Arsenal defender, Gabriel following his clash with Chelsea’s Diego Costa during their game with the Blues last Saturday. Recall that the Brazilian was issued a red card by referee Mike Dean shortly after and was banned alongside Diego Costa by the FA yesterday.

//
An FA statement read:

“Arsenal’s claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Gabriel has been upheld following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.

The player’s three-match suspension has, therefore, been withdrawn with immediate effect.
//
Gabriel was dismissed for violent conduct during the game against Chelsea on Saturday [19 September 2015]. The player is currently subject to a separate FA charge of improper conduct in relation to Saturday’s game and has until 6pm on Thursday [24 September 2015] to reply.”

‎The centre-back will now be available for tomorrow’s League Cup fixture against Tottenham, as well as upcoming league matches against Leicester City and Manchester United.‎ However, he still faces an FA charge of improper conduct, relating to his reaction when Dean sent him off. He has until Thursday to respond.

Store keepers, wholesalers and retailers in Nigeria have however been advised to employ proactive measures geared at stopping the consumption of the product. The public too has been urged to desist from buying or using them.

Bukola Saraki pleads 'not guilty' to corruption charges, granted bail


//
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has pleaded ‘not guilty’ to 13-count charges of
fraud and alleged false declaration of assaults brought against him by the Code
of Conduct Bureau. The ex Governor appeared at the Tribunal today with more
than 30 senators and members of the House of Representatives and during the
course of the prosecution, his lawyers challenged the jurisdiction of the
tribunal affirming that the matter wasn’t a criminal case. 
The
prosecution opposed the argument adding that the trial was purely criminal.
Citing section  2 of the
Administration of Justice Act, 2015, he said the matter could be heard
alongside any preliminary objection regarding the tribunal’s jurisdiction.
The new law was signed by former
President Goodluck Jonathan in March 2015, as part of a major reform of
Nigeria’s criminal justice system.
The Act is expected to speed up
corruption cases before the courts, by dealing with issues of preliminary
objections, adjournments, and jurisdiction. The law says such objections must
be addressed by the courts concurrently with the corruption charge, unlike the
past when interlocutory injunctions could go to the Supreme Court and return,
before the main trial begins.

//

Mr. Saraki pleaded guilty concerning
his failure to declare his assets when he was Kwara State governor as well as
his alleged use of foreign bank accounts. He also denied making false
declaration of assets. “I
believe that I am here as the Senate president to indicate my respect for the
tribunal. I am puzzled why I am being compelled”. He said
He has also been granted bail.
Meanwhile, the matter has been adjourned to 21st, 22nd and 23rd October for
hearing.

My Ideal woman should be deaf and dumb -Jesse Jagz

Chocolate City rapper and brother to M.I Abaga, Jesse ‘Jagz’ Abaga has listed some of the qualities he wants in a woman and believe you me, they are unbelievably weird.
 Excerpts from a recent interview.

//

 “If I tell you my ideal woman you will not believe me. My ideal woman is someone who is deaf and dumb so that I cannot be talking too much or listening to too many conversations.”

“It will give me time to focus on my music. There is also something I learnt from Seun Kuti about marriage, he said that with development and everything, the major part of marriage is commitment and submission, appearance don’t necessarily matter. To all the women I have this for you, the more you are getting educated and exposed, you must always remember that a man is always a man and a woman is always a woman.”
“A cat cannot be a dog and a dog can never be a cat. Another quality I am looking out for in a woman is that, my woman should be confident and beautiful. She should be hardworking and able to inspire me. And I am yet to meet the woman but it is not like if I find the person I am ready to get married now. With entertainment, it is very dicey when it comes to marriage stuff and relationship.”

FIFA Presidency:  Group wants Segun Odegbami to step down for Orji Kalu

A group called South West Football Fans (SWFF) has urged ex-international foot­baller, Chief Segun Odeg­bami to drop his FIFA Presidency ambition  in support of former gover­nor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu who’s also vying for the same position.
//
Below is a statement signed by Bashorun Ade Magbagbeola and Kehinde Sikiru, National Chairman and Publicity Secretary.
“In the spirit of patriotism, we are by this communiqué calling on well meaning sports stakeholders to per­suade Chief Odegbami to drop his ambition. We rec­ognize the fact that Odeg­bami has played a promi­nent role in soccer and as such has the right to vie for the position. 
//
This is a passionate appeal to him (Ode­gbami) to support a candi­date that has global reach and capacity to favourably compete with candidates from the rest of the world.

‎

“FIFA presidency goes beyond sports, the of­fice requires a personality with cognate experience in the business and political spheres of life. Kalu’s ante­cedents in sports, business and politics are commend­able and make him the best candidate for the job.”
