My father preferred foreign movies to local ones — Justus Esiri’s son

Justus Esiri

In this interview with GBENGA ADENIJI, musician son of veteran actor, Justus Esiri, Sidney otherwise called Dr. Sid, speaks about the kind of father the late artiste was

How did you receive the news of your father’s death?

I was in the studio recording when my mother called me to say that he was not feeling too well and that she was taking him to the hospital. By the time I got to the hospital he was dead.

My father’s death came as a shock to me. Sometimes, you have to flash back on all the things he should have done, things he did not do, things he said and what he should not have said. You recall intimate moments with him which you cannot experience again. But knowing the kind of father he was, I know he would not be happy if I continue crying for too long rather than handling the situation like a man.

JTF Kill Boko Haram Second In Command; Arrest Women With Weapons

 

A key member of the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, Momogu Bama, has been killed by the Joint Task Force in Borno State. He was killed along with his father, Alhaji Abatcha Flatari, who was described as one of the spiritual leaders of the sect in an operation between the sect members and the JTF operatives in Bama.
Momogu, the second-in-command to the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, had a  N25m  bounty put on his head by security agencies for information that could lead to his arrest. The Director of Defence Information, Brig.- Gen Chris Olukolade, who confirmed his killing via electronic mail, described him as a vicious Boko Haram leader who took delight in personally slaughtering  the sect’s victims. He added that Momogu  was the expert  in charge of  mounting  anti-aircraft weapons for  the sect and coordinating  members  in Yobe and Adamawa  states.
Olukolade said on Wednesday that Momogu was identified by insurgents arrested during one of the recent encounters between the JTF  and the insurgents in Bama. He said, “As troops intensify pursuit of terrorists who have been unleashing mayhem in Borno and Yobe communities, the death of Momogu  Bama, said to be the Second-in-Command to  Shekau  has been confirmed by other arrested terrorists.
In another related incident, eight women have been arrested in Maiduguri by the JTF operatives for using their veils to conceal guns for insurgents. A JTF source, who made this known, did not say exactly when the women were arrested and the number of guns seized from them. He stated that the operatives were stunned when they stopped the women and found out that what they were “transporting” with their veils were guns. He said,
“The troops could not believe what they saw. A soldier just suspected the women and decided to stop them but when they were asked to unwrap what they were transporting, they hesitated, thereby making some of the soldiers to forcefully remove the veils. They saw a number of guns neatly concealed with the veils and the women were promptly arrested.”

ASUU, others protest against poor education funding

The protesters.

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and other stakeholders on Tuesday shut down activities on the ever-busy Ikorodu Road, Lagos to protest against the poor state of public education in the country.

Others that joined the protest were the National Association of Nigerian Students, Concerned Students Against Education Commercialisation and Education Rights Campaign. The protest was organised under the aegis of the Joint Action Front.

The protesters said they were waging a war against what they described as commercialisation of education in the country, adding that the Lagos rally was a prelude to a nationwide campaign targeted at shutting down the nation.

Secretary JAF, Abiodun Aremu, said, “The goal of this protest is to shut down the nation until those in government begin to take education seriously.

“Governments in Nigeria today operate anti-poor policies and they are not bothered about public education.

“Funding of public education is not given the priority it deserves, because the children of those in government and their friends are being trained in private schools in Nigeria and foreign countries with looted funds.”

According to JAF, the march was holding simultaneously in other Nigerian cities, such as Kano, Owerri, Calabar, and Abuja.

In Lagos, the placard-bearing protesters marched from Yaba through Ikorodu Road to Ojota chanting solidarity songs.

The protesters succeeded in forcing vehicular traffic on both sides of the expressway to a standstill.

Co-ordinator of Democratic Socialist Movement at the University of Ibadan, Michael Ogundele, said there were no better ways than mass protests to put political pressure on the government.

Ogundele, said, “There is nothing to show that government would fund public education, even if ASUU suspends its strike.

“That is why we are saying that the whole rank and file of Nigerian students should come out. We will all protest to put political pressure on these Nigerian looters to make them properly fund education.”

We demanded N87bn, not N92bn – ASUU

Okonjo-Iweala

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities on Wednesday faulted the statement credited to the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, that the union demanded for N92bn, describing the claim  as false.

ASUU said it never demanded such amount as earned allowances in the 2009 agreement it reached with the Federal Government.

Okonjo-Iweala had on Wednesday in Minna, said  the Federal Government couldn’t meet the N92bn allowances as demanded by ASUU.

The univerisity lecturers, in a statement by the University of Ibadan  branch chairman, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, described the amount mentioned by the minister as “a the imagination of the minister.”

Ajiboye explained that the earned allowances, the union and the governemnt calculated in the 2009 agreement, amounted to N87b, which covered allowances for three and half years for the lecturers in the nation’s universities.

He said, the N87bn was a compromise made by ASUU to scale down from N127bn.

He added that the N87bn was computed based on 15 per cent of the yearly recurrent expenditures of some nation’s universities.

The statement stated, “I want Nigerians to ask the minister where she got her figure of N92bn from. There was never a time that ASUU made a demand that is up to N92bn. I think the N92bn is just the imagination of the minister.                         “But that is not to say that this government did not enter into an agreement with us. This is a government that signed an agreement with us on January 24, 2012 to the effect that they would inject N100bn as funding into the universities in the first one  month and that before the end of 2012, they would inject another N300bn.’’

PHOTOS: Father, Son Missing for 40 Years Found In Forest

A father and son have been found living in the jungle of Vietnam four decades after they went missing during the country’s war with the U.S.

Ho Van Thanh and his son Ho Van Lang apparently fled their home village 40 years ago after a bomb killed three members of their family.
They were discovered by locals looking for firewood in deep forest in the Tay Tra district of Quang Ngai province.

Yesterday authorities confirmed that the men were Thanh, 82, and 41-year-old Lang.
The older man once lived a normal life with his family in the hamlet of Tra Kem around the time of the Vietnam War.

But one day his wife and two of his sons were killed by a mine explosion, putting him in a state of shock.
He took his two-year-old son and fled into the jungle, where they live in a tree house, thereafter never having any contact with anyone else.

The pair survived by foraging fruit and cassava from the forest and planting corn.
They wore loincloths made out of tree bark, and lived in a timber hut raised five metres above the ground.

When the foragers saw the two ‘jungle men’ from a distance acting abnormally, they alerted local authorities.
Officials set up a team to track them down, and found them yesterday after a five-hour search.
The father could speak a little of the minority Cor language, but the son knew only a few words.
The pair are now undergoing medical check-ups as a first step to being reintegrated into mainstream society.

Student Unions Differ Over ASUU Strike

Following the inability of the the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the Federal Government to reach an agreement and end the strike embarked on by ASUU on July 1, students have reacted to the ongoing strike with differing views. Some students want ASUU to end the strike just for the sake of the students, while others believe the fight is better fought and won now.
It would be recalled that last executive members of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, led by the National Assistant Secretary, Mr. Ali Mohammed disowned the national president, Mr. Yinka Gbadebo, on what they referred to as “his support for the Federal Government in the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.” Some members of the executive told newsmen that students were largely unbiased in the crisis and the inclination of Mr. Gbadebo to support the government was a deviation from the students’ collective goal of resolving the crisis.

S*x Secrets: The Number One Thing Women Want In Bed

Agreed, we all want different things in our s*xual lives, but research has revealed one common thing women truly want.
And that is Emotional Intimacy.
During a survey of over 1,000 women, each woman was asked about their best s*x. 96 percent of the women revealed that the best s*x they have ever had was with someone with whom they are emotionally connected.
Other reasons women (and even sometimes men) gave for enjoying s*x include “being with someone I love,” followed by “feeling good about my s*xual abilities” and “when my partner compliments me.”

Watermelon: The New s*x Drug For Men

Men hoping for some fireworks in their love life this Fourth of July may want to skip the burgers and beer at the barbecue and eat plenty of…instead.
It turns out, watermelon may be a natural Viagra, says a researcher. That’s because the popular summer fruit is richer than experts believed in an amino acid called citrulline, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels much like Viagra and other drugs meant to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
Until recently, many scientists thought most of the citrulline was in the watermelon rind. But now, experts have discovered that there is more citrulline in the edible part than previously believed.
Why does this work?

The amino acid citrulline is converted into the amino acid arginine. This is a precursor for nitric oxide, and the nitric oxide, a blood vessel relaxer that enhances circulation to all your vital parts.
How much watermelon should you eat?
A typical 4-ounce serving of watermelon (about 10 watermelon balls) has about 150 milligrams of citrulline.
