Sanusi calls for the sack of 50% of civil servants in Nigeria



The Central Bank governor on Monday called for the sack of 50% of civil servants in Nigeria because according to him, 'the country spends 70 per cent of its earnings on salaries and entitlements of civil servants.'
“You have to fire half of the civil service because the revenue of the government is supposed to be for 167 million Nigerians. Any society where government spends 70 per cent of its revenue on its civil service has a problem. It is unsustainable,” he said.
Organized Labour, including the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, the Civil Liberties Organisation and Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union, have all condemned his statement, some asking for his immediate sack.

"CAN considers suing Boko Haram at International Criminal Court"- Oritsejafor



The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,  said on Wednesday that it is putting plans in place to press charges against the Islamic insurgent group, Boko Haram, at the International Criminal Court.

The President of the Association, Ayo Oritsejafor, stated this at the opening of the National Executive Council Meeting of the association in Awka, Anambra State.
“We at CAN are strongly considering pressing charges against the Boko Haram sect for crimes committed against Christians at the International Criminal Court and we will commence soon,” Mr. Oritsejafor said.



The Christian leader also urged the Federal Government to pronounce the sect a foreign terrorist group.
“The Federal Government should designate the Boko Haram sect as a foreign terrorist group,” Mr. Oritsejafor said.
“We will not encourage Christians to carry arms, but we have always called on Christians and the churches to defend and protect themselves,” he said, adding that “The way the sect is succeeding in its attacks, it is obvious that it is not done yet.”

Mr. Oritsejafor while alleging that some churches in the north cannot get airtime on radio and television, challenged governors of Northern States to take positive steps towards resolving the Boko Haram crisis.
“We call on the governors of the 19 northern states to come together and hold a meeting to know the fate of their people who are being killed in the north,” he said.
The CAN president called on other governors to challenge their northern counterparts to end the crisis.
“Without the measures put in place by the southern governors, there will be reprisal attacks every day. So why shouldn’t the northern governors put in the same measures?” Mr. Oritsejafor asked.

Two men, named as  Sadeq and Massoud, have been arrested following the death of a teenage girl in Kunduz province, northern Afghanistan. Victim, named as 'Gisa', was beheaded by her cousin after she and her family turned down his marriage proposal.

Gisa was later attacked as she returned to her home in Kulkul village after going out to collect water from a nearby well.

Her father told a local news agency he had not wanted his daughter to get married because she was too young.

Afghanistan's Taliban regime - notorious for its oppression of women in the country - was ousted in 2001, but extreme violence against women is still rife.

NOLLYWOOD ALUU4 MOVIE


I hear there's a new movie titled ALUU4 being produced by Simony Productions,the Idumota marketers that brought you blackberry babes.

The Aluu4 tragedy occured on the early hours of October 5th, less than two months from now and the familes of the victims are still mourning,they are yet to get over the shock,some of the deceased are yet to be buried and now someone or group of individuals simply because of selfish reasons and interest wants to shoot a movie on that.

Is it not too early to start shooting a movie on that? Those shooting this movie,are they doing that to serve as a tribute to the memories of the young boys or is it for money making? Hmmmmmm!

I had expected that before they commence the shooting ,adequate research and consultations should have been made with the police,the Aluu community,Uniport community,family members of the boys etc and I expect this to take some reasonable time and not less than a month.

Well lets keep our fingers crossed and hope they will not come up with something below standard and expectation. Mtcheee!
