Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, how far can he go? By Oriaifoh Godwins The above question is what has been on the lips of some Edolites since Monday, 8 th June 2015 when Rt. Hon. Victor Sabor Tiger Edoror was sworn in and assumed the position of the Speaker, Edo state House of Assembly. While the optimists and those that know the erudite, shrewd, focused and purpose driven lawmaker very well, are not in any way in doubt with respect to what the man at the helm of affairs of the law making arm of Edo state can do to deliver and put Edo state on the pedestal of the next level, the pessimists and the doubting Thomases are in doubt with respect to how far he can go. To start with, the people of Esan Central Local government Area, the Constituency he represents, have been and are still enjoying the dividends of democracy that Rt. Hon Edoror has been and is still delivering to them. The people in his constituency has never had it this good. This write up is not an

Ghana petrol station inferno kills scores in Accra At least 96 people have died in a fire at a petrol station in Ghana's capital, Accra, the fire service says. The fire started as people in the city are trying to cope with two days of heavy rain, which has left many homeless and without power. The flooding hampered rescue efforts and may have led to the fire, the BBC's Sammy Darko reports from Accra. There are fears that the number of dead could rise as the search of the site continues. It is thought that people were in the petrol station sheltering from the downpours when the fire broke out, our correspondent says. SURVIVOR, YAW AFORVE Bus conductor Yaw Aforve was sleeping in his vehicle which was parked at the petrol station when the fire started.

Honourable Kuku, who said his tenure ended with the tenure of the former President, recalled how daunting the task of managing the amnesty programme was, due to the novelty of the programme as well as the precarious and sensitive nature of managing the affairs of the ex agitators; he also advised that, the person who succeeds him, must not only understand the psyche of those he is to manage, but, must also be resilient, painstaking and empathetic. He said, ‘I will support my successor, but if he refuses to give me the opportunity to so do,

VP. Prof. Osinbajo Locked Out Of President Buhari’s Security Meeting Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was ‘locked out’ of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with the National Security Adviser on the orders of the President. Trent is reporting that a  top  Government source who pleaded anonymity disclosed on Wednesday that Vice-President Osinbajo was refused ‘security clearance’ to attend the meeting as a result of security concerns by the Commander-in-Chief allegedly over what he described as a “very sensitive meeting”. According to the source, it was the thinking of the President that it was too  early  in the day to bring Vice-President Osinbajo into the President’s first security briefing. The June 1 meeting with NSA Sambo Dasuki, which lasted for hours, was part of what sources called “debriefing process” and was done behind closed doors in the absence of the Vice-President.

APC govt will not spare corrupt leaders –Edo Deputy Speaker By Oriaifoh Godwins The Deputy Speaker, Edo House of Assembly, EDHA, Honourable Victor Edoror, has Rt. Hon. victor Edoror revealed that, the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari, will bring all those that are found to be one way or the other corrupt in the previous administrations to book. He made this revelation recently, in a chat with Nigerian Pilot Newspaper. According to Edoror, our country is this bad because the wealth of this nation is in the hands of few corrupt people who do not have the interest of this country at heart. No sector of the economy is functioning the way it should function because of the mismanagement and greed of the managers of the economy. The obligation is now on Buhari to deliver and turn things around as this is why he was voted for. In his words; ‘I am not of the opinion that those that are found wanting should be financially wrecked but whatever ‘big toe’ they are, sh

Extending gains of Amnesty to Boko Haram Attaining development, in the absence of peace, is a mirage. In view of this fact, ORIAIFOH GODWINS writes on the need for pragmatic solution to be sought to the menace of Boko Haram insurgents. Excerpt: In his last parley with the press recently, as his tenure ended with the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, Honourable Kingsley Kuku, Special Adviser to Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta, and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme, recalls how the Niger Delta, the economic mainstay of Nigeria, that was once notorious for its restiveness, is today, the most peaceful and the most investment friendly part of the country. The efforts of the Amnesty office, with the help of the media, he said, have aided the deepening of safety and security in the entire Gulf of Guinea, thereby helping to buoy the country’s economy. It will be recalled that, the processes of achieving politi cal solution, rather than sustaining the military o

WHEN A LEGISLATOR IS A WORKING LEGISLATOR By Oriaifoh Godwins The work of a legislator, amongst other things is to make laws, act as a check on the executive arm of government, control and supervise the budgets etc; but when a legislator goes out of his way not only to attract the dividends of democracy to his constituency, but also use his personal income/salary to provide palliative measures to people in his constituency, especially the widows and the youths, then such legislator must be commended as he is not only a selfless individual, but also one that is close to his people and also close to God; as it is often said that you must be close to the people to know their problems and to God to be able to solve them. Therefore, a legislator that knows the problems of his people, and also goes the extra mile in solving them is not only a working legislator, he is one that is a shining example amongst other legislators, as such, must be commended and emulated by others. It

     When Private Universities become role models Academic standards in our institutions of learning are falling, the government seem to be doing all it can to restore normalcy, but there seem to be a missing link as the education sector seem to be in a state of quagmire, Oriaifoh Godwins writes The need to urgently revamp the fall in the standard of Education in Nigeria, cannot be overemphasised, especially bearing in mind that, some graduates of Nigerian Universities today, leaves much to be desired (in terms of their academic and moral quality) hence, a number of them, are unemployable. Again, some of our older universities are not any better as some of some of their products are not able to defend the certificates they claim to have obtained. They more or less seem to be living on their past glories. Despite the foregoing, however, one university has shown signs of bringing back the lost glory of the standard and quality of education in Nigeria; and that university, is
