Academic Qualification Without Skills Causes Unemployment - Ambode
In a statement delivered by the Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, the height of unemployment of academically qualified citizens in Nigeria becomes the key subject of concern.
According to the governor who was represented by his Deputy, Dr Idiat Adebule, invention, entrepreneurship and the development of innate natural talents were the ways of achieving self-sustenance, job creation and turning around the nation’s economy from its present state.
Speaking on Tuesday at the Grand Finale of the Science, Arts and Craft Exhibition and Talent Hunt by Junior and Senior Secondary Schools in the state to celebrate Lagos at 50, Mr Ambode said:
"I am more convinced that the era of white collar jobs is gone forever. We must as a matter of urgency emphasis on home-grown innovation and creativity instead of adopting anything foreign.
"I believe strongly that only we can find solutions to our peculiar collective challenges. It is time we joined industrial nations such as Japan, China and Singapore; and shed the toga of a consumer nation.
"We are having this exhibition as part of activities to celebrate Lagos at 50 to open minds to the immense economic opportunities in science, arts and crafts.The Lagos State governor believes the Science, Arts and Craft Exhibition and Talent Hunt is a motivational medium for young minds who are looked upon as tomorrow's leaders of the Nigeria to use their creativity towards developing the social and economic status of the state in the next generation.
Mr Ambode pledged that the state government would collaborate with the Bank of Industry to develop the best projects from the exhibition and mass produce them for the larger market.

Alligator Pays Hungry Visit To Florida Home
Only in a tropical region like Florida can an alligator majestically crawl towards a private residence and tried to find its way inside the house.
The photo shared on social media by the police in the state showed the scary canine creature crawling right up to the front door of the house at night.
Fortunately, no one opened the door because it seemed people residing inside had retired for the night, but it gives one the chills to imagine what could have happened if the police on street guard hadn't spotted the alligator. Or worse, some opens to door and meet the shock of their life since the August visitor looks every bit ready to attack and take a bit out of its prey.
The Police in Sarasota County, Florida advised residents to "stay safe out there."
Florida is a friendly Island region for crocodiles, alligators and other aquatic creatures including water moccasin (snakes).
In a similar scenario, a new homeowner found an alligator in his swimming pool that is close to a river.
There have been cases of attacks and death by crocodiles just as that of a 4-year old boy who was dragged by an alligator inside a lake at Disney resort in Florida. The kid's body was found intact but he didn't survive.

Video: EFCC Discovers Over N400m Stashed In Lagos Shopping Plaza
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has just unveiled large sum of money suspected to belong to money launderers hidden in a shop at LEGICO Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos state.
According to a report by the commission, the money stashed in several ‘Ghana Must Go’ bags in N500 and N1000 denominations, is worth a total of N448,850,000 (Four hundred and forty-eight million, eight hundred and fifty thousand naira) and was hidden in the shops, awaiting conversion into foreign currency.
Working on information provided by a concerned whistleblower, the EFCC operatives stormed the area to sought the identity of the owners of the two shops, LS 64 and LS 67 which were under locks and keys.
A signage written on the store's front showed 'Bureau de Change.' However, several inquiries about the owner(s) of shop 64 indicated he had not been seen for a long time, as the plaza operators claimed the store had not been opened for business for almost two years. Several calls were put to the owner of shop 67 but there was no response.
The attention of the plaza’s chairman and some traders were drawn in order to force the shops open.No money was found in shop 67, but on the floor of shop 64, were heaps of “Ghana Must Go” bags loaded with cash.
Traders interviewed at the premises said they were not aware such amount was hidden in there since the place hardly opens for business.
The Commission has commenced an investigation to unravel the owner and source of the money.

Nigeria Senate Rejects Magu As EFCC Chairman For Shady Reasons
The decision was based on a report made by the State Security Service, SSS against Mr Magu and it stated thus:
"In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption stand of the current government."The EFCC led chairman had appeared before the senate committee with satisfactory answers the lawmakers previous questions. But despite that, majority votes rejected him based on the said SSS report which Magu believes lacks credibility.
Two contradictory reports submitted earlier by the security agency reports, approved and rejected Mr. Magu’s confirmation respectively. He disclosed that he was never invited by the SSS to defend the allegations against him and from his reaction, he was clearly astonished by the allegation when he turned to Mr Dino Melaye who brought the report and said:
"We were fighting corruption together before you came to this house and turned against us[EFCC].
Mr Magu was accused of residing in a house rented for him by Mohammed Umar, a retired air commodore accused of corrupt practices, but the EFCC chairman rejected it as false. According to him, the residence at Maitama was rented for him by the FCT authorities for ease of his work.
"I was not part of the process and I don’t know how much was paid. I don’t even know when the rent started or will expire."He also further accused of taking some of the office files to his house, Magu responded that the nature of his job requires him to get it done at home.
Nevertheless, Magu insisted he will never stop fighting corruption, with or without his confirmation. His appointment was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari and his earlier battles with corrupt government officials has placed him on the black list of some politicians who dread his aggressive method of hunting corrupt leaders.
Hence lawmakers are seeking the removal of power of the presidency to appoint the chairman of the anti-corruption agency. And so the corruption war continues...

Ex President Olusegun Obasanjo Confess About His True Age
The former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that his current age is official but in reality, he does not know his true age.
In his speech at the 2017 International Youth Variety Day and Public Presentation of Olusegun Obasanjo’s Books for Children, in Abeokuta on Thursday, March 2, he admitted his mother gave birth to him on the Ifo market day.
"At early stage in my life, I had the challenge of knowing my date of birth, and my peers always asked, while in return I persisted in asking my mother, who was an illiterate and had no records," the ex President said.
"When I continued to put pressure on my mother, she told me that she was preparing to go to Ifo market on the said day, and went into labour, and before others could return from the market, she had given birth to me.
According to Obasanjo, his current age was determined by using the age of his peers since his journey to India to solve the puzzle from astronomers was futile.
"I’m not as lucky as some of my peers who know the dates of their birth. What matters to me is that I have chosen a date. If I don’t even know the exact date of my birth, at least I know my age group,” he added.The Nigeria former leader will celebrate his 80th birthday on the March 5 as his assumed date of birth is March 5, 1937.

Ifeanyi Ubah Speaks On Why Ndigbo Must Remain In Nigeria
According to Mr Ubah, the future of the South East remains bright in Nigeria due to its potential to becoming the economic hub of the country, just the way Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are to China.
"My reasons are simple - the South-East is particularly not ready for such a move as we are infrastructurally and industrially deficient,” the business mogul said.Ubah who is also the Publisher of The AUTHORITY Newspapers said the South East lacks the essential and requisite agricultural deposits to sustain herself. He stressed that Ndigbo needs to exploit areas of comparative advantage in agriculture and promote policies that will enhance productivity and trade.
"Industrialisation is key to whatever the South East intends to achieve and stand for. We saw BRIC+S countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China +South Africa) attain their projected economic giant status at the end of 20th Century. Today, all eyes are on the new projected MINT Countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey).He explained that there is high expectations on MINT as the new global economic giants in the 21st Century after the emergence of BRICS (an association of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)
Ubah opined that the South East must be to Nigeria what Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are to China before thinking of separation from Nigeria.
The PDP member also suggested that Ndigbo should strive to make the South East a health tourism hub for Nigeria and West Africa by extension, in other to redirect the massive revenue currently being enjoyed by these Indian and American hospitals.
"The Indian healthcare market is worth around $100 billion and is expected to grow to $280 billion by 2020, a compound annual growth rate of 22.9%," Ubah said.
"Is this not strategic enough for the South East to tap into as a means to creating value before harbouring thoughts of self-determination?He charged the South East state governors to lead the revolution campaign to actualize his ideas, declaring that "it's high time we stopped our dependence on federal allocations which merely serves to pay civil servants."
In conclusion, Mr Ubah suggested that Ndigbo should secure partnerships with their brothers and sisters in the diaspora as well as the international community, which can be achieved if there is transparency, accountability and the requisite zeal to pursue the cause within the confines of those who possess the mantle of leadership in the South Eastern states, as such qualities breed confidence in the minds of potential investors.

Breaking News: Diezani Looses N34 Billion To FG In Court Judgement
The judgement passed by Justice Muslim Hassan ordered that huge amount be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government as requested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC who traced the money to three commercial banks in the country where it was kept in the sums of N23,446, 300,000, N9,080,000,000 and $5m.
According to the EFCC, the money was proceeds of criminal activity, hence the anti-graft agency had approached Justice Hassan with forfeit application on January 6, 2016.
Justice Hassan granted the interim forfeiture order after he gave 14 days for anyone to step forward and claim ownership to the money and show cause why the money should not be permanently forfeited to the FG.
When the case was heard on January 24, 2017, no one came to court to claim ownership of the huge sum. Except for the Executive Director, Public Sector Accountant, First Bank Plc, Mr. Dauda Lawal, who was joined as the second respondent in the suit.
Lawal appeared in court through his lawyer, Mr. Charles Adeogun-Phillips, to claim the N9,080,000,000.
Defense Attorney Adeogun-Phillips appeal to the Judge that the EFCC misrepresented facts in urging the court to order the forfeiture of the N9,080,000,000 belonging to his client as proceeds of crime.
According to him, his client was arrested by the agency and coerced to sign an undertaking to make a refund N9.08bn to the Federal Government as a condition for his release, adding that his client had to raise the money from associates.
After pleading his case, Adeogun-Phillips urged the Judge to order the release of the money to his client.
The Court Verdict
In his Judgement on Thursday February 16, Justice Hassan stated thus:“I hereby make an order pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2016, for final forfeiture of the unclaimed sum of N23, 426, 300.000 and five million United States dollars to the Federal government finally.He rejected the plea by Attorney Phillips due to lack of evidence,. Therefore, Hassan ordered for the final forfeiture of the unclaimed sum of N23, 426, 300.000.00, to the Federal Government of Nigeria, including the sum of N9.08bn recovered from the second respondent, Mr. Lawal.
The Justice thanked the EFCC for the good work and urged the government to ensure the money turned to good use to benefit Nigerians.
