Caretaker making mistakes, says expert.As the number of deaths in West Africa from Ebola nears 5,000 and cases appear around the world, the question seems not to be whether the virus is spreading in this age of jet travel, but when and where. Yet there is no reason to panic, counsels Dr Leslie Lobel, a top expert on the virus. People, mainly caretakers, need to understand exactly what they’re up against and stay vigilant.

The Questions Everybody Should Ask Their Interviewer Having interviewed thousands of people over the years, I generally have a formula that I adhere to. I know what sort of questions I’ll ask and what direction I want the interview to take. At the same time, there are also common traits that I look for in the people I’m meeting.

THE advent of democracy in Nigeria has come with numerous dividends; key amongst these is the benefit of freedom. Freedom of expression, freedom of speech and even freedom to dream. In the dark days of the military rule there were certain dreams which could not even be entertained let alone actualised. The formation of political parties were closely monitored and dare I say overly regulated by the powers that be. The emergence of candidates was (and possibly still remains) a delicate issue. We all still remember vividly the June 12 elections, subsequent result annulment and the entire drama that followed. Thank God for democracy!

It is evident to all who care to look well enough that our country is today at a critical historical juncture. Challenges that in regular climes and under normal circumstances should have been corporately addressed for the good of the land are now being further deepened and tossed up as elements in political brinkmanship. Our fault lines as a nation are being further cemented on the altar of partisan bickering. Yet, the nation goes on hurting; and our democratic institutions go on cranking under undue pressure.Even so, I am so very well persuaded that if we manage to remain on this democratic governance track, warts and all, Nigeria has a good chance of living above its present challenges. It may indeed, be on to creating an enduring and responsive system, to which the interest of our people, especially the weak and the disadvantaged, would be the singular concern.

The recent disclosure by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that some of the nation’s commercial banks illegally withdrew N17 billion from their customers’ accounts is a dent on the corporate image of the banking sector. It is, however, heartening that the apex bank has ordered the banks to refund the money to the affected customers. The N17 billion to be refunded is the total sum deducted from customers’ accounts as at August, 2014.

The Federal Operations Unit (FOU) Zone ‘C’ of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) recorded 98 seizures of contraband goods valued at N322 million in September 2014.

WHEN I was informed that the five years tenure of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, Prof. Osayuki Godwin Oshodin will come to an end in a month’s time, I was faced with two problems: whether to pay him a visit in order to congratulate him on the successful completion of his tenure and his unprecedented achievements or to write this piece.

In a recent interview, Gospel artiste, Kenny Saint Bestwho will be running for Lagos State House of Assembly Under APC, for Ikeja constituency, reveals why she joined politics. She said: “Every night I pass through Opebi Road and see young girls (sex workers) I feel sad and it is worrisome that they keep increasing every year.

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau dismissed Nigerian military claims of his death in a new video obtained by AFP on Thursday and said the militants had implemented strict Islamic law in captured towns. "Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath," Shekau said, adding that his group was "running our... Islamic caliphate" and administering strict sharia punishments. Nigeria's military said last week that Shekau was dead and that a man who had been posing as the group's leader in the videos had been killed after fighting with troops in the far northeast. Security analysts and the United States questioned the credibility of the military's claim. The new 36-minute video showed Shekau, in combat fatigues and black rubber boots, standing on the back of a pick-up truck and firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air. Standing in front of three camouflaged vans and flanked by four heavily armed, masked fighters, he then speaks for 16 minutes...

The council, it was gathered, has also scheduled another round of meeting for October 13 and 14. The council may also summon the state Chief Judge (CJ), Justice Ayo Daramola and the governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose, to appear before its probe panel at a later date. It is also expected to deliberate on Daramola and alleged plan by Governor Kayode Fayemi to relocate courts handling Fayose’s suits elsewhere outside the state. While those supporting the move are reportedly pushing for Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, a council source disclosed that Abuja might be the preferred destination, if the request would be considered at all. Meanwhile, Fayose has written to the NJC, in his counter-motion against the motion earlier sent by the state Chief Judge, Justice Daramola. Fayose, in his counter-petition, told the NJC that Justice Daramola claims on the crisis rocking the state judiciary, over the alleged plan to stop his swearing-in on October 16 were not correct. Daramola had, in his petitio...

The Nigerian Army should pardon the 12 soldiers who had been convicted for mutiny. Our military leadership should temper justice with mercy. Although the soldiers should have known the consequences of their action, it is however, too late to blame them. In my opinion, what they protested against was justified. They were angry that their General Officer Commanding (GOC) was sending them to their deaths without providing them with enough weapons to fight the insurgents. The soldiers knew if they were killed, their families would suffer. We all know the situation of things in Nigeria; families of late servicemen who had served the country are made to go through hell before their benefits could be paid. This is part of what the soldiers thought before that reaction against their boss. It would be greatly unfair if the sentence is carried out.

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde, will today commission the newly renovated Ibadan House which he single-handedly financed to luxury standard. According to a release signed by his personal assistant, Alhaji Akeem Azeez, Makinde would also unveil the 2014 Ibadan Festival logo and lightening of festival torch.

The Ghanaian President, Mr. John Mahama, who made the disclosure at the Africa Global Business and Economic Forum in Dubai on Wednesday, said his government had made huge investments in power generation that would enable the country to export excess electricity to Nigeria and others. “We have given priority to electricity generation in our country. We have prioritised energy in such a way that we want to become the hub for power production in West Africa. We want to generate electricity to the point that excess power can be exported to Nigeria, Ivory Coast and other countries that have power deficit,” he said. To achieve this dream, Mahama said his country had secured export-import financing from China as well as special funds from Abu Dhabi to commence series of power generation projects, adding that a third hydropower dam project was already at an advanced stage. The Ghanaian leader spoke in a panel discussion along with President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and President Mulatu Wirtu o...
