Abia North re-run: SERG endorses Kalu, Umeh

South East Revival Group (SERG) has endorsed the candidacies of Sir Victor Umeh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Dr Orji Uzor Kalu of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) for Anambra Central and Abia North senatorial re-run elections respectively.

Coordinator of SERG, Chief Willy Ezugwu explained in a statement yesterday that both  have actively pursued the interest of the Igbo nation among all the candidates taking part in the re-run elections for the two Senate seats. “Sir Umeh and  Dr.Kalu have demonstrated that they will go beyond the tokenism of constituency projects when they get to the Senate since they have earlier demonstrated the power of ideas and capacity to mobilise the people for a common cause.

“On his part, Kalu has wealth of experience that he has repeatedly placed at the disposal of the people whom he has served dedicatedly even in the face of persecution in some instances. He has in the past, successfully articulated a workable blueprint on how to industrialise not just the South-East but the entire Nigeria. These are qualities the Senate desperately needs.

“Representation in the National Assembly is about the constituents and must never be left in the hands of people who have a track record of having no understanding of what the South East or their constituents need,” the group warned.

SERG urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to allow a repeat of the electoral fraud, which necessitated the reruns in the first place.

…Umuahia stands still for ex-gov

From Chuks Onuoha, Umuahia

Thousands of Abians from different senatorial zones in the state filed out from the Abia Tower end of the Enugu –Port-Harcourt Express Road, to show their love for former governor  and Progressive People’s Alliance (PPA) senatorial candidate for Abia North senatorial district, Dr Orji  Uzor Kalu.

Kalu kick-started his campaign for the rerun election scheduled for March.

It was observed that from the Tower to Michael Okpara Square in Umuahia, admirers lined up on both sides of the road, waving and cheering Kalu endlessly as his convoy headed to Umuahia. This exhibition of love was said to have made him to, in his usual style, asked his convoy to stop for him to acknowledge the cheers of his admirers. An aide said Kalu had planned to quietly go to his country home to attend a stakeholders’ meeting. He changed his mind when he saw the crowd. At Okpara Square, the crowd was so uncontrollable that the former governor had to alight from his vehicle and had to walk with them while the people hailed him by his arrays of titles, such as “Mmiririri enyi, Ozo Igbo Ndu, Ohicharanwa Ogbuenye anya miri.”  The uncontrollable crowd shouted and assured him that the mandate they gave him, which was stolen, would surely be given back to him this time around.  

The ever-smiling former governor could not hide his emotions as he was almost in tears  touching, hugging and waving to the  crowd of Abians who trooped out to welcome and identify with him.

From Okpara Square, his convoy moved to the ever-busy Corporative Square, drove straight to Uzuakoli Road, joined Uwalaka and headed back to Isi Gate.

 At Isi Gate, however, the human go-slow forced Kalu to alight again, from where he had to acknowledge cheers. He walked some distance with the crowd, before he went back into  his vehicle.

The convoy then moved to Aba Road through Post  Office, then to Bende Road, Uwalaka and finally moved out of the city towards Uzuakoli. At Akara Junction in Isuikwuato Local Government Area, youths, men and women  organised a reception which Kalu  was not aware of and he  was forced to alight from his vehicle the third time in a row.

Masquerades of different hues lined up for the ceremony.  Here, they assured him that the Abia North Senate seat has been reserved for him as their only son whom they trust and believe in his representation. He later moved  on to his country home after the reception at Akara Junction.

Okorocha Imo is broke

From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri
IMO State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday disclosed that the state is insolvent, as its monthly wage bill has outstripped its monthly statutory allo­cation from the Federal Government. The governor said monthly servicing of the bailout fund has further compounded the situation.
This was just as he reiterated that there was no go­ing back on the state government’s decision to con­cession the management of parastatals.
Okorocha, who revealed this when he spoke to newsmen at the Government House in Owerri said the monthly wage of the state had always been high­er than what the state receives from federal alloca­tions and internally generated revenue.
“The monthly wage bill of the state is N4.2 bil­lion which is far higher than what we receive from federal allocation including the internally generated revenue which means that the state government has always been operating on a deficit. As at December 31, 2015 the state received N1.9 billion from the Federal Government while the monthly wage bill of the state for the same period was N4.2 billion.”
“We cannot continue to patch a cracked wall as if all is well, we need to break it down in order to rebuild it, and the current wage bill of the state is be­yond our capacity. Imo State now receives the least allocation among the South-East states because of the monthly repayment of the bailout fund which the state took from the Federal Government, a situation which has further compounded the financial situa­tion of the state.” The governor insisted that in spite of the financial dilemma of the state, no worker is being owed any salary.

Arms deal: Metuh out on bail

•After 24 days in EFCC custody, Kuje Prisons

By Iheanacho Nwosu, Taiwo Amodu and Godwin Tsa, Abuja

After 24 days in detention, National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, yesterday night, fulfilled his bail conditions to regain temporary freedom.

A senior lawyer in his defence team, Chief Chris Uche (SAN) confirmed his release from detention to Daily Sun.

Upon his arrest by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on January 5,  where he spent weeks in its custody, Metuh was finally arraigned before the court over alleged N400 million money laundering allegations through  his firm, Destra Investment Limited.

He was granted bail by Justice Okon Abang on January 19, 2016 in the sum of N400 million with two sureties in like sum.

The court said the two sureties must be residents of Abuja and have property in Maitaima district worth N200 million.

The court further directed  the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, to, within 24 hours of being notified, verify the addresses of the proposed sureties and the Certificate of Occupancy of the property to be presented by them.

But, when it became practically impossible for Metuh to meet up with these conditions, he approached the court with an application seeking the variation of the conditions.

On Wednesday, Justice Abang granted the application and lessened the bail terms.

In his ruling on Metuh’s application for the variation of his bail conditions, Justice Okon Abang, said the applicant would no longer be required to produce two sureties who must have property limited to the Maitama District of Abuja.

While the bail sum of N400 million and other attached conditions remain, Metuh’s proposed sureties, who the court insisted must be resident in Abuja, could now be owners of property with valid title documents “in any district of the Federal Capital Territory.”

The court rejected the second leg of the application despite disregarding the opposition by prosecuting counsel to that aspect of the prayer for failing to file his objection to the application within 24 hours earlier given him to do so.

The judge upheld Metuh’s counsel, Emeka Etiaba’s request that Tahir’s submissions be expunged from the court’s records but still went ahead to rule that, “As regarding the second leg of the application, I think the first defendant (Metuh) is asking for what is not legally permissible.”

Justice Abang said since the purpose of  bail is to give liberty to the defendant to be able to defend himself, and he has deposed to affidavit that while he has not been able to get anybody in Maitaima to stand surety for him, he has friends with more expensive property in other districts of the FCT, the court is compelled to vary the bail conditions.

“The court, in varying its earlier condition is not sitting in an appeal, but making an order to give effects to its earlier condition,” Justice Abang said.

The judge said he has his reasons for making the order and if the defence counsel is dissatisfied with it, the only option is to go to on appeal.

He, however, assured that the court will ensure that the prosecution counsel will not be an obstacle to the fulfillment of the bail conditions.

After proceedings in court yesterday, Metuh, in company with his lawyers made frantic efforts to meet up with the conditions.

Senior lawyers were seen moving about with documents for the purpose of the assignment.

Metuh, whose case was heard yesterday, retired to the courtroom where he sat with family members and friends.

Daily Sun was told that Metuh had to fast-tract the process in view of the fact that the trial judge is scheduled to travel to Lagos tomorrow and would not be back till next week.

A source at the EFCC confided in Daily Sun that his lawyers arrived the commission late in the evening where the bail documents were verified.

When contacted, Metuh’s  family thanked God for his release. A senior family member who declined to be named said the “family is pleased that he is out. We thank God for making his release possible.”

He, however, said the family may  issue a formal statement on his travail and the bail granted him today.

From his party, however, mum was the word.

The party’s National Working Committee last night declined comments on Metuh’s bail.

Speaking with Daily Sun on phone, deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdulahi Jalo, declined comments when he told Daily  Sun that only the Acting National Chairman, Uche Secondus can talk on the development.

“I can’t speak on Metuh; only the national chairman is in a position to talk on that. Please, call Secondus,” Jalo said.

Secondus could not be reached on phone as his line was switched off.

He said that police operatives attached to the Maitama Division in Abuja busted and arrested the suspects, who specialized in robbing victims from banks.

Boko Haram War: Kano To Admit Additional 100 Orphans From Borno

Kano state government has said that it would admit additional 100 orphans from Borno state, who were orphaned as a result insurgency, into the Kano – Borno boarding primary school.
The government had established the school in April 2015, with an initial intake of about 100 internally displaced orphans.
During an inspection of the school’s facilities, the state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, added that “the state government would sponsor the education of the orphans up to university level.”
The governor also received food items and learning materials donated to the school by the Kano State Automobile Dealers Association,
Dr. Ganduje expressed satisfaction over the condition of the orphans, thanking organizations and well-meaning individuals for supporting the government in taking care of the children, noting that without good care, the children would have strayed and constituted a social burden.
The governor thanked the Automobile Dealers Association for their compassion, appealing to others to emulate the gesture. He promised that the donation would be properly utilized.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the association, Amb. Mukhtar Gashash, said they decided to offer the donation to the pupils in order to complement the efforts of the state government, adding that they also made similar gestures to many less privileged people as part of their social responsibility to the community.
Earlier, the state Commissioner of Women Affairs, Barr. Zubaida Damakka Abubakar, said the orphans were very proud of the state government which had taken care of their basic needs while commending the headmaster and the staff of the school for their commitment.

BREAKING NEWS: MRS fuel station, Lawanson on fire

Coyote tangles with snake in the Everglades ... but is it real?

A Boynton Beach man says he snapped a picture of boa constrictor coiled around a coyote
Experts say constrictors will eat canines, but can’t determine whether the shot is real

This photo provided to the Herald shows a coyote and snake apparently in the midst of a struggle. 

First, it was the python vs. alligator. Then it was bobcat vs. shark. Now, a new encounter has been captured — or maybe created? — in the Florida wilds: Coyote vs. constrictor.
A photo sent to the Herald by a reader appears to show a coyote with a large snake wrapped around its neck.
William James, 34, of Boynton Beach, said he took the photo Tuesday when he and his family pulled over at a rest stop at mile marker 63 on Alligator Alley. With his wife and year-old baby in tow, James said he started down the trail. About 20 minutes into the walk, James said he heard rustling in nearby shrubs, expected to see a wild hog and instead encountered the coyote with what he thought was a Burmese python wrapped around its neck.
“It’s probably not something that’s not uncommon since there’s such a snake problem,” said James.
But state wildlife officials are skeptical, pointing out that boa constrictors are far more rare in the wild than Burmese pythons, the exotic snake that has spread across South Florida, wiping out populations of small mammals.
“After reviewing the image, we believe that it may have been altered,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Carli Segelson said in an email. “While it is possible that boas and pythons eat canines, we do not have an established population of boas in this area.”
James, who delivers appliances, said he watched the snake release its grip from the coyote, then try to bite the animal’s back before his wife “freaked out” and demanded they return to the car. He said he had time to take only the one shot.
“I only got one picture,” James said. “I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a wild animal, but you’re lucky if you have only a moment.”
James’ photo joins a recent batch of weird animal photos coming from Florida and greeted with a good deal of skepticism. In April, a Fort Pierce man emailed a picture he said he’d taken of a bobcat carrying a shark out of the surf near Sebastian Inlet. The picture quickly went viral, launching a furious debate over whether it was real or Photoshopped.
University of Florida wildlife biologist Frank Mazzotti, who looked at a copy of the picture sent by the Herald, correctly identified the snake as a boa constrictor. Constrictors can eat canines and vice versa, he said. But he could not vouch for the authenticity of the picture.
The Burmese python is the target subject of Florida’s on-going Python Challenge, a hunt hosted by the FWC, w hich is entering its second week. As of Tuesday, 61 Burmese pythons had been captured.

Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly

Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly 'Jealous' Amid Neymar, Lionel Messi Rumours

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly “jealous” after rumours surfaced that his club have been seeking to sign Barcelona stars Lionel Messi and Neymar.  

According to Sport, “Ronaldo is jealous of Real Madrid's Neymar desire” and has also been unimpressed with previous attempts from Los Blancos to lure Messi away from the Camp Nou. As noted in the piece, the two Blaugrana stars have been cited as fanciful targets for Real Madrid President Florentino Perez.
The piece outlined why Ronaldo, who Sport says “wants to be at the centre of everything,” is unhappy, touching on various other contributors to the Portuguese’s reported frustration:

You can add to Cristiano’s frustration a detail which occurred inside Madrid regarding transfer fees, which has made him conscious of the fact that for Florentino “Bale is worth more”. However, Perez filtered out a story that said Ronaldo cost more than the Welshman to calm his anger.   
The president continues to flatter the Portuguese player, recently assuring that he is “the best player in the world” so as not to devalue him. At the same time, he is irritated with the No.7’s continued insinuations with regards to his future. 

Gonzalo Arroyo Moreno/Getty Images

According to a report from Cadena COPE (h/t the Press Association, via the Guardian), Los Blancos have made three separate attempts to sign Messi since 2011 but were unsuccessful on every occasion. 
There have also been previous reports suggesting Real would be willing to part with €35 million per year to tempt Neymar to the capital as an eventual long-term replacement for Ronaldo, per Lluis Mascaro of Sport.
Here’s how Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo all compare statistically in La Liga matches this season:

Forward Comparison: Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi

	Ronaldo	Neymar	Messi
Apps (Sub)	21	17	13 (2)
Goals	16	16	11
Assists	7	9	4
Shots per game	6.4	4.2	5.1
Key passes per game	1.5	3.9	1.9
Dirbbles per game	1	4.8	4.5

WhoScored.com

Although many would say Ronaldo is enduring a disappointing campaign, his statistics certainly look healthy. Indeed, a return of 27 goals before February is mightily impressive, and although he’ll turn 31 in February, there is no other player in world football who is as sharp in the penalty area as the former Manchester United man.
If there is veracity to these reports, it’s peculiar that Ronaldo would be feeling “jealous.” After all, this Real team is still built around him, and in the unlikely event of Madrid convincing one of these Barcelona stars of joining, it’d only serve to enrich his own game. 

Francisco Seco/Associated Press

Real make a huge fuss over Ronaldo.

But it seems as though it's not something he'll ever have to worry about. Messi is Barcelona to the bone, while Spanish football journalist Rafael Hernandez has conceded he’d be very surprised to see Neymar make the move to the capital:

Heineken ad suggests women prefer men who don’t drink too much

Brand’s global campaign seeks to promote moderate drinking as ‘cool’ – and even features a man turning down the offer of a beer

• Heineken has launched a global ad campaign promoting moderate drinking that even features a man rejecting the offer of a beer.

The campaign, “Moderate Drinkers Wanted”, suggests that women prefer men who don’t drink too much.
Heineken’s ad, which will run on TV in selected territories and on Facebook globally, sees the women in the ad sing a rendition of the Bonnie Tyler classic I Need a Hero.
“Moderation is becoming cool,” said Gianluca Di Tondo, senior director of the global Heineken brand.
Di Tondo said that this is the third moderate drinking ad campaign Heineken has launched since 2011 and now the focus was on empowering women to encourage men to moderate their drinking.

“The focus has now turned to women and the influence they have over our target consumer,” he said. “This female-centric approach is reflected not only in the creative execution of the TV commercial, but also in our media strategy. For example, the commercial will be seeded to women only on Facebook for the first week of our launch.”
Heineken, who for the first time in 20 years paired a female sidekick with James Bond in its ad to promote the latest film Spectre, said that 10% of its annual global brand ad spend now goes on responsible drinking campaigns.
The brewer said that the strategy comes after research that shows that the younger generation of millennials are much more conscious of drinking than their forebears.
For example, Heineken’s global research, conducted by Canvas8, found that 75% of millennials (21- to 35-year-olds) say they now limit the amount of alcohol on the majority of their nights out.
The ad campaign was created by ad agency Publicis Italy.

Hawick couple unveiled as £33m National Lottery winners

Media captionThe couple who won £33m in the National Lottery say they did not know they had won until Sunday

A couple from Hawick in the Scottish Borders have been unveiled as the winners of half of last Saturday's record £66m National Lottery jackpot.

David and Carol Martin, both aged 54, appeared at a news conference at the Dalmahoy Hotel, south of Edinburgh.
They were one of two ticket holders who matched the six winning numbers 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.
The couple received a cheque for £33,035,323. The record jackpot followed 14 consecutive rollovers.
The Borders husband and wife said they were relaxing at home the following day with the lottery ticket on their mantelpiece and only checked it when a friend urged them to do so.
Mr Martin said it felt "great" to have landed the huge win.
"Obviously the initial shock was surreal," he said.
"If we had won £50,000 we would have probably been dancing round the living room.
"But when we were sitting looking at each other and we had won £33m we didn't speak to each other for about five minutes.
"We were in total shock."

The first person to be told the news was their 26-year-old daughter, Lisa, who lives in Australia.
Mr Martin said she had thought they were "pulling her leg" when they told them the scale of their win.
They now plan a family reunion this weekend to begin planning their futures.

Flooding help

Mr and Mrs Martin said they intended to take early retirement as soon as possible.
Mr Martin has been working for the last eight years for Borders Care and Repair (part of Eildon Housing Association) which helps elderly and disabled people fit specialist equipment in their home. 
Mrs Martin has worked in the local chemist for most of her working life.
The couple, who have been married for 28 years, said they would love a new home in the country, near where they live now, and perhaps a holiday home in the sun.
They also intend to help their family and closest friends.
"We don't have all the answers yet but we'd like to help our closest friends and family and there are charities which are important to us too," said Mr Martin.
"Parts of our community have also been hit by flooding and we know lots of people who have struggled in recent times so there's a lot for us to work out but it's a nice problem to have."
Even though the prize total is shared, it is still the biggest National Lottery win.
However, Saturday's prize is still dwarfed by the the biggest UK win in the Euromillions lottery, a draw where prize money comes from ticket sales in several European countries.
Another Scottish couple, Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, collected £161.6m in 2011.

Police finds toddler walking alone who said she couldn’t wake mummy up

Police finds toddler walking alone who said she couldn’t wake mummy up

An off duty police officer made a tragic discovery after he picked up a little girl who said she was walking alone because she couldn’t “wake mummy up.”
The off-duty officer, who has not been named, was driving with his wife when he spotted the toddler near Trent, last Wednesday.

He approached her to ask her where she was going and she replied: “I am going to nursery. I can’t wake mummy up.”
The girl then led him back to her home in Shobnall Road, where her mum, Nicolla Rushton, 30, was discovered dead.

The heartbreaking details emerged yesterday as it was revealed police were not treating the death of Ms Rushton as suspicious.

Chief Inspector Steve Maskrey, from Staffordshire Police, has since praised his officer and said his actions showed police “are never off duty.”
He said:

“This is a brilliant piece of work by him that shows that we are never off duty. "The officer and his wife took the time to look after the little girl and stay with her until emergency services arrived. “Sadly nothing could be done to help the woman. “My thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time. "The little girl is now safe with family.

“I must also praise the community who all came together and helped the police with their inquiries. Thank you.”

Nicolla's devastated mother Stacey Inchley was too upset to comment at her home in Stretton, Staffs.
Speaking outside her house, Nicolla's brother Anthony Rushton, 28, said:

"The family just needs time to grieve at the moment. "My mum is absolutely heartbroken and it's too much to talk about at the moment.

Staffordshire Police said they were called to the house by colleagues from West Midlands Ambulance Service after Ms Rushton was found, shortly before 11am. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after they arrived.
A spokesman for the West Midlands Ambulance Service said:

"An ambulance and a paramedic officer were sent to the scene. “On arrival, crews discovered a woman patient. "Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save her and she was confirmed dead at the scene.”

A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said Ms Rushton was very ‘quiet’, and added:

“She just kept herself to herself. “I am gobsmacked, I didn’t know her that well but from what I saw she seemed very happy and loved her little girl.

“She was the quiet type and it is just really upsetting. "It is so shocking when it happens on your doorstep. "It is just awful.”

Another neighbour, who didn't want to be named, said:

"I didn't really know Nicolla. She kept to herself but seemed happy when I said hello to her.  "I used to see her taking her little girl to the nursery up the road. "I'm so shocked about what's happened. I left a bouquet of flowers when I heard. "My heart goes out to the family. It's so sad."

A report is being prepared for the coroner.
