Send chibok girls abroad to school

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo with the Released 21 Chibok School Girls as Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo presents the Girls to the President at the State House in Abuja.By TaboolaSend Chibok girls abroad to study – LG ChairmanON October 22, 2016 7:02 PM /IN News / CommentsBy Levinus NwabughioguThe safe return of abducted 21 Chibok girls may have exposed the defThe safe return of abducted 21 Chibok girls may have exposed the deficiencies in Nigeria’s educational system and sparked renewed calls for the education of the girl-child.Their message came loud and clear. They don’t only need your prayers, pity and empathy, they also need your help to get good education. That was the summary of Rebecca Manu’s speech last Wednesday at the press gallery of the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.Manu is one of the released 21 Chibok girls abducted over two years ago, precisely on April 14, 2014 by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.She spoke on behalf of the freed girls.She showed enthusiasm and passion for knowledge. She must have felt elated to speak before a large audience comprising President Muhammdu Buhari, his vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and cabinet ministers.Manu entertained the crowd and at the same time provoked some skepticism on their educational background. She made several slips while reading her script. Easily noticeable was the repetition of the word “OK!”.Again, Manu, several times said “and then after that”, a phrase that apparently indicated that she was so coached or guided. Very well then.Did she memorize the speech or were all those phrases written on the paper she had? Only Manu could answer the question.But those details didn’t matter. And it also didn’t matter if the girls were preparing for the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination, SSCE, organized by West African Examination Council, WAEC, before they were abducted. Whether they could speak good English as would-be secondary school leavers was also inconsequential; after all, two years and six months in captivity would have dealt with their psyche and mental competences. What mattered was that by inference, Manu made her point very clear: they needed to be roundly educated.To them, returning home alive and healthy was a miracle. According to Manu, they had given up on their return to their parents. But God’s grace, the relentless efforts and commitment of Buhari on security matters paid off.Starting off with two Christian songs which she led for the girls, she also called for prayers for their colleagues still in captivity.“We are happy for seeing this wonderful day because we didn’t know we could  come back to be members of Nigeria. Let us thank God for His love. Let us pray for the rest of the girls still in Sambisa. Let God help”, she said.How they were catered forAnyone who saw the girls on the first day of their release, penultimate Wednesday, would commend the Federal Government for the attention they were given. Their looks gave them away as people who had just returned from the land of the “dead”. They looked haggard and emaciated but within  one week, the girls’ body symmetry stood out.Said the minister of women affairs, Mrs. Aisha Al-Hassan, who spoke at the occasion:“This indeed a moment that we have been eagerly waiting for. The date 13 October; 2016, will remain a significant one in the annals of history.“All the 21 girls came back looking haggard, weak and emancipated. Doctors were immediately dispatched to examine them and provide prompt medical assistance. Also, personal personal supplies like clothings, toiletries and others were provided fir them. The girls parents were also brought in from Chibok, Borno State. Uncontrolled emotions when the parents met with them.Send them abroad to study – Chibok local government ChairmanTo underscore the importance of the girls’ education, representative of the girls’ parents and Chairman of Chibok local government area, Mr. Ya’aga Yarakuwu, expressed gratitude to God, the President and the Nigerian security apparatus for ensuring the safe return of the girls.While highlighting the challenges bedeviling the community which he said included lack of roads and schools, Yarakuwa appealed to Buhari  to come to the aid of the community, urging for deployment of more security personnel to the area.He appealed to the President to take the girls abroad to further their education even as he stated that most of the girls’ parents were dead as a result of high blood pressure.Osinbajo takes roll callThe day also reminded Osinbajo, an academician, who said that “once a teacher, always a teacher”, as he performed the task of formally presenting the girls to the President.He recalled that the whole country was emotional as they received the girls upon their return.Your worst days ‘re over/govt to take over your education-BuhariIn a voice laden with emotions, Buhari, while receiving the girls, stated that the girls had seen the worst of things the world had to offer.Imagining the horrible experience the girls must have had in the hands of the insurgents for over two years, he, however, said that the worst days were over, promising a new dawn for the girls“These 21 girls will be given adequate and comprehensive medical, nutritional and psychological care and support. The Federal Government will rehabilitate them, and ensure that their reintegration back to the society is done as quickly as possible,”the President said.“Aside from rescuing them, we are assuming the responsibility for their personal, educational and professional goals and ambitions in life. Obviously, it is not late for the girls to go back to school and continue the pursuit of their studies.“These dear daughters of ours have seen the worst that the world has to offer. It is now time for them to experience the best that the world can do for them. The Government and all Nigerians must encourage them to achieve their desired ambitions”.Buhari also revealed that the girls’ release was a product of negotiations between government, Boko Haram and some international agencies.“The release of these 21 girls followed a series of negotiations between Government and the Boko Haram group, brokered by our friends both local and International. Since this Administration assumed office, we have been working towards the safe release of the girls.“The DSS, military and other security agencies have spared no effort to secure our girls. These 21 girls are the manifestation of our doggedness and commitments to the release and return of the Chibok girls.”‘The rest of girls would be rescued’The President also pledged a renewed effort that would see the return of the remaining girls while thanking their parents for their patience and understanding.“While joining their parents to rejoice and praise the Almighty, we shall redouble efforts to ensure that we fulfill our pledge of bringing the remaining girls back home. Already, the credible first step has been taken and Government will sustain the effort until all the remaining girls return safely”, Buhari  said.“The Federal Government appreciates the patience and understanding of the parents of all the abducted Chibok girls. We equally thank Nigerians and the International Community for their support and prayers, and for never losing confidence in our ability to secure the safe release of our girls.“Once again, I congratulate the 21 released girls, their parents, the Chibok community, our security agencies and all Nigerians on this day of delight and rejoicing.”Last lineAs Manu spoke, my eyes spotted Alhaji Adamu Adamu, the minister of education who seated on the high table with Buhari. He never smiled. His mind must have been running riot as he wondered if the girls would have passed their physics and chemistry subjects and in flying colors. But then, the development has thrown up a big challenge to the government that there is need to education the Nigerian child, not just the girl alone for brighter future of the country. Thank goodness that the President who has children who are graduates, was also there to see and hear for himself.ADEKUNLEView All Posts By Adekunle →You might also likeRecommended ByDisclaimerComments expressed here do not reflect the opinions of vanguard newspapers or any employee thereof.You May Like

MTN Denise alleged transfer of $14billion out of Nigeria

MTN, CEO,Mr. Ferdinand MoolmanSouth Africa’s MTN has denied it illegally transferred $13.9 billion from Nigeria in the latest scandal to hit the telecom firm in its largest market in the continent.The Johannesburg-based firm is facing a parliamentary probe over accusations it connived with senior Nigerian officials to move the funds out of the country without complying with the law.“We would like to reiterate that at no point did MTN Nigeria (MTNN) illegally repatriate funds out of Nigeria or collaborate with Nigerians to loot the external reserves of the country,” Ferdinand Moolman, the chief executive officer of MTNN told the Senate hearing in Abuja on Thursday.“MTNN is a Nigerian company and is proud to be conducting business in Nigeria. It therefore categorically refutes any accusations of money laundering, economic sabotage or tax evasion levied against it,” he added.Moolman said all monies repatriated by the company were in respect of dividend payments and capital divestment originating from legitimate foreign direct investment.“The dividend payments were made to shareholders who imported foreign capital for investment in MTNN,” he said.Moolman also exonerated Nigeria’s Trade and Investment Minister Okechukwu Elenemah from the alleged capital flight.“We would like to state that Dr Elenemah has never been a director or shareholder of MTNN,” he said, adding that the minister had not connived with the company to move funds out of Nigeria.The parliamentary probe followed a motion last month by Dino Melaye, a senator from central Kogi state which called for MTN to be investigated over the alleged illegal transfers.Four local banks were alleged to have been used to move the funds with the help of the trade minister.The probe is the latest setback to hit MTN in Nigeria.The firm was last year slammed with a $3.9 billion fine for failing to cut off 5.1 million unregistered SIM cards, amid fears that some of the affected lines were being used by Boko Haram insurgents.The conflict sparked by the jihadist group has left at least 20,000 dead and forced more than 2.6 million people from their homes since 2009.In June, MTN announced that following negotiations with the Nigerian authorities, it had agreed to pay $1.7 billion as a final settlement.MTN is the largest mobile phone firm in Nigeria, and the country accounts for a third of the group’s total revenue.MTN threatened to pull out during the SIM card row, before the fine was reduced by nearly 70 percent.Relations between Nigeria and South Africa, the continent’s two economic powerhouses, have been strained over recent years on issues including economic rivalry and political friction.South Africa’s growth has been undermined by the slowdown in China and falling commodity prices, while Nigeria, the continent’s top oil producer, has suffered from low oil prices, leading it into recession.

Leicester City Wins Again

Riyad Mahrez struck to give Leicester City a third consecutive Champions League victory as the fairytale Premier League champions edged FC Copenhagen 1-0 on Tuesday. Mahrez’s athletic 40th-minute volley at the King Power Stadium left Claudio Ranieri’s men five points clear in Group G and they are still to concede a goal in the competition. With Club Brugge losing 2-1 at home to Porto in the other group game,Leicester will be assured of a place in the last 16 if they win away to Copenhagen in their next match on November 2. Riyad Mahrez Riyad Mahrez Leicester are struggling domestically, their title defence effectively over after four defeats in eight games, but in Europe they are rekindling memories of their 5,000-1 march to glory last season. Indeed, their tally of points in the Champions League — nine — is one more than they have amassed in the league. Ranieri was particularly indebted to his Copenhagen-born goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who brilliantly swatted away a shot from Andreas Cornelius with seconds of normal time remaining. It was a first defeat in 24 matches for Stale Solbakken’s Copenhagen, but they remain in second place ahead of next month’s return fixture. With Leicester’s fans a little subdued followdomestic defeat — 3-0 at Chelsea last Saturday — it was left to Copenhagen’s supporters to create the pre-match atmosphere. The travelling fans were in fine voice and the Champions League anthem was accompanied by a burst of red flares in the away end that will almost certainly attract the attention of UEFA. On the pitch, though, it was Leicester who carried the greater threat, despite the visitors dominating possession. – Cornelius goes close – The hosts found joy with passes in behind Copenhagen’s full-backs (less so when the ball was hoofed in the air towards Islam Slimani) and it was an approach that yielded the opening goal. Five minutes before half-time, Jamie Vardy lofted a cross towards the far post from the left, Slimani headed it back across goal and Mahrez darted in to beat Robin Olsen with a close-range volley. It was the Algerian winger’s fourth goal of the season and third in three Champions League games. Shy of a Federico Santander shot that dribbled straight into the gloves of Schmeichel, the Danish champions had not really threatened. But they came within a whisker of equalising on the stroke of half-time when Cornelius’s header from Ludwig Augustinsson’s corner missed the left-hand upright by millimetres. Cornelius threatened again early in the second half, his flick working Schmeichel, but Leicester were playing with rediscovered belief, Mahrez seeing a shot blocked by Erik Johansson. Slimani had the ball in the net in the 67th minute when he followed in to head home after Olsen brilliantly touched his shot onto the bar, but he was denied, incorrectly, by an offside flag. The introduction of winger Rasmus Falk lifted Copenhagen and there was one last scare before Leicester could celebrate victory. In the last minute, Santander’s cross from the left picked out Cornelius, but Schmeichel produced a superb one-handed reflex save to keep his countrymen at bay. ing another heavy

Obama : Donald Trump Flattery Over Vladimir Putin is (unprecedented) in America's politics

U.S President Barack Obama has criticized Donald Trump for praising Russian President, Vladmir Putin during his 2016 U.S Presidential campaign, saying his support of the Russian leader is 'unprecedented' in the history of American politics. Adding that he was more concerned about Republican party politicians who have called him soft on Russia now backing Trump’s line.    "Mr. Trump rarely surprises me these days," Obama said in a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi at the White House on Tuesday.     "I'm much more surprised and troubled that you have Republicans ... now supporting and in some cases echoing his positions."He also rejected Donald Trump's allegations that the U.S election is being rigged to favour Democratic party candidate Hillary Clinton.    "I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit elections and the elections process before even elections have taken place. It's unprecedented," Obama said.    "I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and try to make his case to get votes."With three weeks to go until the U.S Presidential elections, the two leaders (Obama and Renzi) also made remarks that can only be interpreted as thinly veiled commentary on the candidacy of Donald Trump.    "America was built by immigrants. America is stronger because of immigrants. America is great because of immigrants," Obama said.Renzi spoke of building "bridges, not walls," and appealed for world leaders to look to the future, and not just the past.    "There are a lot of people who think politics is only about screaming, fighting each other, creating division. You’re different, Mr. President," Renzi said. "We're different."
