Union Bank staff dies from Coronavirus in Lagos

A Union Bank staff has died from Coronavirus complications as confirmed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, Emeka Emuwa.

In an internal memo made public on Monday May 4, it was gathered that the bank staff died while on treatment for Coronavirus at the Infectious Disease Center in Yaba, Lagos.

The bank staff was working remotely since March before contracting the disease.

The memo reads in part;

“Dear colleagues, notwithstanding the easing of the lockdown, the threat of COVID-19 remains high and real. Today, we received a painful reminder of this threat.

“We are deeply saddened to announce that one of our colleagues died in the early hours of today (Monday, May 4th) while being treated at the Infectious Disease Center in Yaba, Lagos.”

Osodieme is not a guy name by Evang. Chinedu Obigwe

The name Osodieme is a well deserved Chieftaincy title conferred on Anambra Mother Theresa, Her Excellency Chief Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano by His Royal Majesty, Eze C.N. idigo of blessed memory.

 This Chieftaincy title was conferred on her before she became first lady of Anambra State.

I remember vividly that in one of my interview with Eze C.N idigo of blessed memory, he said that he conferred the title on Anambra Mother Theresa because she is blessed with a heart that is overflowing with milk of kindness.

He told me that the only thing that gives Osodieme joy is putting smiles on the faces of the  downtrodden.

 Another thing I noticed about Osodieme is that she likes making the impossible to be possible hence the reason why she made history as the only First lady in Anambra State that is rehabilitating mentally deranged people, empowering them and reuniting them with their loved ones.

That is not enough because Osodieme is also providing artificial legs and limbs for the disabled ones.

 He engages in acts of philanthropy with passion and feeling of fulfillment.

 She feels fulfilled helping people on daily basis.

In this COVID-19 trying times, she is currently moving around Anambra State doing good to ensure that nobody among the needy is left out.

She started with the donation of 1million naira to Anambra State government through her NGO popularly known as CAFE.

 After the donation, she now embarked on the distribution of food items and cash to the less privileged and physically challenged ones.

 She has touched the lives of physically challenged people, touched the lives of 200 people in Ogbunike and touched the lives of the inmates in all the Correctional centres in Anambra State.

She touched their lives positively through the distribution of food items to them.

I had a deep reflection on her way of life and her way of doing things and arrived at the undisputed conclusion that Osodieme is not a guy name but a divine Chieftaincy title name that God used Eze C.N. idigo of blessed memory to confer on Anambra Mother Theresa, Her Excellency Chief Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano.

 To God be the glory that she is doing exactly what God brought her to do on this earth.

 When you hear the name Osodieme, pray fervently to have a miraculous encounter her because if you do you will have good news to share to people.

 Daalu nu.

Just in! Bill Gates offered House of Reps $10m bribe for speedy passage of compulsory vaccine bill – CUPP alleges

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), on Monday, alleged that it has intercepted a human intelligence report that the Nigeria House of Representatives leadership was poised to forcefully pass the compulsory vaccine bill without subjecting it to the traditions of legislative proceedings.

In a statement issued and signed by the spokesperson of the opposition political parties, Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and sent to DAILY POST in Abuja on Monday, the body urged lawmakers in the lower chamber to rise against impunity.

The body in the statement alleged that a sum of $10 million was offered by the American Computer Czar, Bill Gates for influence the speedy passage of the bill without recourse to legislative public hearing, a the development they averted as anachronistic, adding that the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila should be impeached if he forces the bill on members.

The statement read:

“Opposition Coalition (CUPP) has intercepted very credible intelligence and hereby alerts Nigerians of plans by the leadership of the House of Representatives led by Femi Gbajabiamila to forcefully and without adherence to the rules of lawmaking to pass the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill 2020 otherwise known as the Compulsory Vaccination Bill which is proposing a compulsory vaccination of all Nigerians even when the vaccines have not been discovered.

“This intelligence is coupled with the information of the alleged receipt, from sources outside the country but very interested in the Bill, of the sum of $10 million by the sponsors and promoters of the Bill to distribute among lawmakers to ensure a smooth passage of the Bill.

“This will manifest in a wishy-washy public hearing which the promoters still insist on cancelling under the pretext of containment of the spread of the coronavirus. The intelligence is that the House will under whatever guise pass the Bill tomorrow 5th May, 2020 upon resumption.

“The Nigeria opposition rejects the Bill and urges opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives to confront the Speaker of the House with these facts tomorrow at plenary and resist every plan to illegally pass the Bill.

“We have been informed that the alleged deal on the passage of the Bill was struck during a trip to Austria a few months back while the financial support for the promotion of the Bill was allegedly received last week to mobilize for a push leading to the hurried attempt to pass the Bill by any means necessary.

“Nigerians are reminded that at present, there is no discovered/approved vaccine anywhere in the world and one now begins to wonder why the hurry to pass a Bill for a compulsory vaccine when there is none.

“What if the world eventually does not find a vaccine or cure for coronavirus just like it has not found a cure for HIV AIDS? What is the hurry in passing a Bill based on speculation or is there anything else the leadership of the House would want to tell Nigerians? Is this bill what will stop the mass deaths and infections rising in Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Gombe, Borno, Kaduna, Ogun, Bauchi and indeed all over the country?

“Is this Bill going to revive and grow the economy and reduce hunger and give us more testing kits or bed spaces? Is this Bill going to stop the stealing of palliatives meant for poor and vulnerable Nigerians? Is it true that all these noises for the Bill is all for the alleged $10 million?

“The leadership of the House needs to start speaking now on why the hurry when there are a lot of urgent Bills to be passed which are not being attended to.

“Where is the Bill to make the wearing of face masks compulsory now that the Federal Government has against all wisdom insisted on easing the lockdown and the people have trooped out already without obeying the health regulations that will make them safe?

“Where are the economic revival Bills to protect jobs and vulnerable Nigerian workers whose livelihoods are threatened daily by this pandemic? Where are the Bills to compel the Federal Government to look inwards and encourage emergency research for the manufacture of essentials like test kits, ventilators, Personal Protective Equipment, vaccines, drugs, masks, sanitizers etc

“All opposition lawmakers should prove they are not part of the evil or partakers of the financial inducement and confront Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila to come clean.

“Let all parliamentary rules be dropped and opposition members should turn the House upside down using their parliamentary privileges if that is what it takes to stop this foreign-sponsored Bill.

“Why make a law for a vaccine that has not been discovered? Does it mean that Femi Gbajabiamila and the promoters have an idea of the vaccine and when it will be ready? When nations like Madagascar are making local remedies which is working, APC is making a law to compulsorily inject Nigerians with vaccines our former slave masters have not yet discovered.

“The plan to push the passing of the bill is evil

“The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC did not make any contributions to the drafting of the Bill and has even told Femi Gbajabiamila to suspend the Bill as the timing is very wrong but Mr. Gbajabiamila believes he can secure the silence and acquiescence of the NCDC with all the illegal powers been provided for the NCDC in the Bill hence he still wants to push ahead with it the passage.

“Like we told the Federal Government before, do not bring Chinese doctors, shut our external borders, do not ease the lockdown, do not relax Kano lockdown and they refused to heed to wise counsel preferring to play myopic politics with the lives of Nigerians, today the community transmission is getting worse and it has almost been confirmed that the so called strange deaths in Kano of hundreds of citizens is a result of the COVID-19.

“We are saying loudly again and calling on House of Representatives to suspend this Control of Infectious Diseases Bill and await for proper input and scrutiny after the pandemic and charge all efforts towards giving the needed support to reduce the spread and find a homegrown solution.”

Just in! Nigerian Govt Receives $311m Abacha Assets From US, Jersey

General Sani Abacha was a Nigerian military Head of State in the 1990s.

The Nigerian government has received $311,797,866.11 recovered assets of General Sani Abacha repatriated from the United States and the Bailiwick of Jersey.

The Attorney-General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, confirmed this on Monday in a statement by the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations at his office, Dr Umar Gwandu.

According to Malami, the amount increased significantly from over $308 million mentioned in an earlier statement in February to over $311million as a result of the interest that accrued from February 3 to April 28, when the fund was transferred to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He noted that the litigation process for the return of the assets titled ‘Abacha III’ commenced in 2014 while the diplomatic process that culminated in the signing of the Asset Return Agreement commenced in 2018.

The agreement was signed on February 3 by the governments of Nigeria, the United States, and the Bailiwick of Jersey.

“This Agreement is based on international law and cooperation measures, that sets out the procedures for the repatriation, transfer, disposition, and management of the assets,” he said.

According to the statement, the recovery effort consolidates on the record of the Muhammadu Buhari administration which has a history of recovery of $322m from Switzerland in 2018.

It added that the recovered loots were transparently and judiciously deployed in supporting indigent Nigerians as specified in the agreement signed with Switzerland and the World Bank.

Malami, who led the negotiation team, noted that the tripartite agreement and the process towards the implementation represented a major watershed in International Asset Recovery and Repatriation as it sought to provide benefit to the victims of corruption.

He said, “In line with the 2020 Asset Return Agreement, the fund has been transferred to a Central Bank of Nigeria Asset Recovery designated account and would be paid to the National Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) within the next fourteen days.

“The NSIA is responsible for the management and execution of the projects to which the funds will be applied.”

The minister insisted that the latest recovery would support and assist in expediting the construction of three major infrastructure projects across Nigeria – Lagos – Ibadan Expressway, Abuja – Kano Road, and the Second Niger Bridge.

He revealed that the government was in the process of establishing a Project Monitoring Team to oversee the implementation of the projects and report regularly on progress made to the public.

In order to ensure transparent management of the returned assets, Malami said the government would engage a Civil Society Organisation who has combined expertise in substantial infrastructure projects, civil engineering, anti-corruption compliance, anti-human trafficking compliance, and procurement to provide additional monitoring and oversight.

He noted that the process for the engagement of the CSO monitor has already commenced with the adverts placed in two local newspapers.

The recovered funds, according to the minister, were laundered through the U.S. banking system and then held in bank accounts in the Bailiwick of Jersey.

He revealed that a U.S. Federal Court in Washington D.C. forfeited the money in 2014, as property involved in the illicit laundering of the proceeds of corruption arising in Nigeria during the period when General Abacha was Head of State from 1993 to 1998.

Malami added that in 2017, the Nigerian government filed a case in the Bailiwick of Jersey to assert its authority as the owner of the funds and as the victim of the action of General Abacha.

He, therefore, called for greater cooperation and mutual respect among countries in the implementation of expeditious cooperation measures already set out in the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, and in the implementation of the Global Forum on Asset Recovery (GFAR) principles on the repatriation of stolen assets.

The minister assured Nigerians that the government would ensure that the returned assets were transparently managed.

Senator Umeh Donates N2M To Anambra State COVID-19 Support Fund, Urges Ndi Anambra To Support Government’s Efforts

By Uche Nworah (ABS)

The Senator that represented Anambra Central in the 8th Senate, and former national Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Sir Victor Umeh has donated the sum of two million naira to Anambra state government to help its fight against the spread of coronavirus in the state.

According to Senator Umeh, “We have seen what is happening all over the world with the coronavirus pandemic. Most nations are struggling to cope with the devastating effects of the pandemic on families and on the economy. Our  Governor, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano has shown commitment in his resolve to protect Ndi Anambra”.

Senator Umeh commended the Governor for introducing an economic stimulus package to cushion the effects of the pandemic on Ndi Anambra, and providing vital medical equipment for the isolation centres. “The government can not do this alone. That’s why we have to donate money or even materials as this concerns all of us”, he said.

Continuing, Senator Umeh called on Ndi Anambra as well as corporate organisations operating in the state to support the government’s efforts, “We can see that Lagos state, despite their privileged status as an economic powerhouse in Nigeria, are calling for and are receiving huge support by way of monetary and material contributions from individuals and corporate organisations to help their COVID-19 response efforts. This is commendable and i believe Ndi Anambra will listen and support the state government’s COVID-19 efforts’, Senator Umeh concluded.

Just in! COVID-19: FG breaks silence on ‘expired rice’ sent to states

The Federal Government on Monday assured that all the rice distributed to states, were certified fit for human consumption.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Social Development and Disaster Management, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, stated this while addressing newsmen in Abuja today.

Farouq claimed that the rice was accessed by the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), before they went sent out.

According to her, “we all know if we keep rice or grain it is bound to change colour but that does not mean it is unfit for human consumption”.

The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, had accused the federal government of sending contaminated rice to the state.

Makinde had however sent back the three trailer loads of rice containing about 1,800 bags.

*When a popular hip hop musician sang stupidity is giving a lunatic morale song(iberibe na enye onye ala morale), he had Emeka Umeagbalasi and his dirty political hatchet job executor cohorts in mind.*

A letter written to the Director General, Nigeria Centre For Disease Control, Dr Chikwe ihekweazu trended on the internet.

The letter was written by a known dirty political hatchet job executor of Mr Peter Obi in the person of Emeka Umeagbalasi that parades himself as the Board of trustee Chairman of an amorphous International Society For Civil Liberties and Rule of Law group.

In the letter, he requested for the establishment of 3 COVID-19 testing centre in Anambra State and said that the reason why his amorphous group deemed it necessary to write to him directly is because of the possible danger of Coronavirus pandemics explosion in Anambra State.

 If somebody that does not know Emeka Umeagbalasi and his dirty political hatchet job execution stock in trade comes across his letter, the person will mistakenly think that he is genuinely concerned about what should be done for ndi Anambra to stay safe from the dreaded pandemics.

 People like me and many others that are following up Emeka Umeagbalasi activities starting from Peter Obi's administration era cannot be hoodwinked with such letter.

The truth is that Emeka Umeagbalasi knows very well that his letter is an exercise in futility but his main aim of writing the letter is to do the evil bidding of Mr Peter Obi and all they wanted to achieve is to smear the image of Governor Obiano's administration.

 They want to create the false impression that Governor Obiano is not doing anything in respect of the establishment of Coronavirus pandemics testing centre in the State.

 The honest truth is that Emeka Umeagbalasi and his cohorts portrayed themselves as fools at forty that will remain fools forever for sending such letter to the NCDC boss.

 If the DG of NCDC reads the letter, he will not waste time to throw it into the waste bin because that is where it rightly belongs.

 One thing that I love about this man called His Excellency Chief Dr Willie Obiano is that he knows his mission in Anambra State.

 He is working quietly without making noise about what he is doing and without blowing his trumpet.

 Ndi Anambra will remember that the NCDC Boss visited our State recently and did a press briefing with our working Governor on the day of his visit.

His main mission to Anambra State on that day was to inspect the Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital for approval as  Coronavirus testing centre in the State.

Before the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemics in Nigeria, they have only 3 infectious diseases testing centre in the Country and to checkmate the spread of the Coronavirus pandemics, the Federal government designated additional testing centre to accommodate the Six geopolitical zones of the Country.

FMC Ebonyi was designated for the Southeast.

 When this was done, Governor Obiano said no that Ebonyi is far for ndi Anambra and made a commendable move to convince the Federal government to designate COOUH, Amaku, as one of the testing centres.

Today, that bold step of the Governor is a reality and an amorphous group emerged from their hideout with a concealed intent of taking the glory of the efforts of the Governor when the NCDC pronounce Anambra State officially as one of the Coronavirus pandemics testing centre.

It's important for ndi Anambra to know that everything that needed to be done to pronounce Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital as a testing centre for Coronavirus has been done and that what is remaining is official pronouncement from NCDC.

 What the amorphous group of Emeka Umeagbalasi did is tantamount to what an igbo adage said that "when a man finish fighting, a woman will be telling the story(Nwoke nusia ogu,Nwanyi enwelu akuko)" meaning that they are just telling stories with their letter to the NCDC boss.

 The effrontery Emeka Umeagbalasi displayed in his letter to the NCDC Boss is my reason for saying that he is a political lunatic whose morale is being boosted by stupidity.

 Anambra State Government under the able watch of Governor Obiano is living up to the expectation of ndi Anambra and has not disappointed them in this Coronavirus pandemics trying times.

 It's obvious that the idiotic followers of our self acclaimed Saint Peter Obi, Emeka Umeagbalasi inclusive, are doing everything humanly possible to cover their wicked acts of turning their back on the less privileged ndi Anambra during this Coronavirus pandemics trying period.

 None of them donated anything to the less privileged to help them to cushion the effect of the Hungervirus that was brought by Coronavirus in our Country.

Every good thing that happened to ndi Anambra in this trying period can be traced to Governor Obiano and other public spirited individuals in the State that are not associated with Peter Obi.

The evil wish of Peter Obi and his associates is for ndi Anambra to die of Hungervirus but God used Governor Obiano and other patriots to come to ndi Anambra rescue.

My advice to sane minds is to ignore Emeka Umeagbalasi because he is only making a fool of himself.

 Daalu nu.
