Just In: Nigerian Oil Workers Officially Begin Nationwide Strike Today, Deny Talks with FG
Despite reports that the federal government had commenced talks with the leaders of PENGASSAN, Nigerian oil workers are going ahead with their planned strike today(Thursday).
The acting general secretary of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Lumumba Okugbawa, has disclosed exclusively to Premium Times on Thursday morning that the nation's oil workers are going ahead with their planned strike today (Thursday), despite reports that the government had commenced talks with their leaders.
Okugbawa disclosed further that the PENGASSAN were not aware of any negotiations between any arm of the association and the government on any of their demands.
“It is not true there are on-going negotiations between PENGASSAN and government. Apart from the inconclusive negotiation on June 23, which was rescheduled to June 30, only to be put off indefinitely with no further appointment, we are not aware of any other negotiation with government,”Okugbawa said.
He added that reports of negotiations with the oil workers was part of the government’s characteristic way of causing confusion whenever a strike notice is issued.
“If government was sincere, why would it always wait till after the strike had already started before coming out in the media to talk about non-existing negotiations?” he asked.
Okugbawa revealed that the Federal Ministry of Labour had sent an email to the leadership of PENGASSAN late on Wednesday inviting them to a meeting scheduled for Thursday (today) when the strike was planned to commence.
He said the ministry later sent a text message to reschedule the meeting for Friday, saying the previous schedule was not convenient, in view of the extended public holiday, adding that the association had since replied the government that the Friday schedule was equally not convenient, as it could not get all its top executives from across the country where they were deployed to monitor the beginning of the strike.
“In any case, the decision to embark on the strike was taken by the National Executive Council of the Association. It is not possible to stop the commencement of the strike now for a meeting with government on Friday. As far as PENGASSAN is concerned, the strike has commenced as planned. The strike can only be suspended or called off by no other arm, but NEC. For now getting all its members to return for a meeting is foing to be difficult,” he said.
Although he did not confirm any new date the association would find convenient, said it would not be earlier than next Tuesday.

Crazy University Lecturer Teaches Her 11-year-old Daughter How to Use a Condom (Photos)
A Kenyan woman and popular feminist has taken to her Facebook account to showcase how she taught her underage daughter how to use a condom.
Dr. Stella Nyanzi and her daughter
Dr. Stella Nyanzi, is a very popular figure in Kenya striving on controversies that have hijacked the news headlines. Earlier this year, she stripped herself half-n*ked to protest her eviction from her office at the Makerere University by famous political science lecturer, Professor Mahmood Mamdani.
She is also one of the of “The People’s President”Kizza Besigye’s staunch supporters who publicized her visa denial by the British immigration officials. She is back again in the news after publicising how she thought her 11-year-old child how to use a condom.
This is what she posted on her Facebook page:
“I had the ‘condom talk’ with my eleven-year-old daughter. I explained the dangers of unprotected s*x, without blinking. Feeling like a Ninja-Warrior, I pulled out a packet of black condoms. She asked about the colour. I told her I preferred condoms that look like the real thing. Luckily, she did not ask for details about the colours of things.
"So I talked about the tip of the condom and how it is important to squeeze out the air before rolling it up the waiting specimen. We practiced squeezing gently in order not to tear the tip. She asked about how women with long varnished finger-nails squeeze out the air without tearing the condom. I referred her to her auntie with long varnished finger-nails. God bless their next meeting!
"And then I talked about disposing of the condom after using it. I was careful not to leave out any age-appropriate detail of condom-use for my darling daughter. And then I asked if she had any question.
“Yes, Mama Stella,” she said enthusiastically. “I have a question.” What do you want to know?” I asked with a sense of foreboding.
“So, how big does the condom become if I blow it Mama?” She asked. “Oh, big, I guess,” I replied cautiously.
“Please, please, please Mama Stella, can I blow it and see?” she asked. “Sure. Here,” I said as I held out a condom.
“Eeeooww,” she made a face at the oily lube on the condom. “For smooth entry and travel,” I explained.
"And then my daughter blew and blew and blew the condom. It got much bigger than the balloons we usually blow to decorate our party-rooms.
"She put it onto her belly-button and it nearly touched the floor. We laughed at the joke. And then, just as the child she is, my daughter began to play catch with the blown condom. She threw it up into the air and reached up to get it. Our condom talk was over!”

FG Formally Bans Post-UTME, Orders Strict Compliance
The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu has reiterated the ban on the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, otherwise known as Post-UTME, saying that the ban is with immediate effect.
A statement issued and signed by Ben Goong, the Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, quoted the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, as saying that the ban was with immediate effect and directed all higher institutions to comply with the directive.
The statement said: “The ban is with immediate effect, and under no circumstance should any institution violate the directive.
“The responsibility for admission into public tertiary institutions lies solely with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and under no circumstance whatsoever, should anybody or institution take over that responsibility by proxy.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any educational institution after secondary education is regarded as a tertiary institution.
“Therefore, all tertiary institutions, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Universities or by whatever name it is called after secondary education, must be subjected to admission through the JAMB.”
The statement said at the end of probationary admission by JAMB, the candidates could be screened for final admission.
Adamu was quoted as having said: “Those who have already advertised for the conduct of the Post-UTME under any guise should stop the exercise immediately as any university caught conducting Post-UTME will face appropriate sanctions.
“If any tertiary Institution has already conducted Post-UTME, such an exercise stands annulled and money taken from such candidates must be refunded immediately.”

Presidency replies Saraki, says President Buhari is nobody’s stooge
,
The Presidency has dismissed insinuation by Senate President Bukola Saraki that President Muhammadu Buhari was operating “a government within the government.’’
This is contained in a statement issued by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina and issued to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
The statement said that the allegation was not worth the paper on which it was written, “as anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and say anything.”
The statement reads, “President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, claims there is “now a government within the government of President Buhari’’ which has allegedly seized the apparatus of executive powers to pursue a nefarious agenda.
“This claim by Senator Saraki would have been more worth the while, if it had been backed with more information.
“If he had proceeded to identify those who constitute the “government within the government,” it would have taken the issue beyond the realm of fiction and mere conjecture.
“But as it stands, the allegation is not even worth the paper on which it was written, as anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and say anything.
“The Attorney-General of the Federation is the Chief Law Officer of the state. It is within his constitutional powers to determine who has infringed upon the law, and who has not.
“Pretending to carry an imaginary cross is mere obfuscation, if, indeed, a criminal act has been committed. But we leave the courts to judge.
“To claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is anybody’s stooge is not only ridiculous, but also preposterous.
“It is not in the character of our President.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Senate President after appearing at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja over alleged forgery of Senate’s Rules book, alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had been hijacked by a cabal.
He offered to go to jail in defence of Nigeria’s democracy.

Delta state police release statement over alleged 5,000KVA plant scam in Delta
Below is a rejoinder from the Delta State Police Command in regards to a Sahara Reporters report with caption -'Delta state Police Commissioner Usman Baba Alkali is embroiled in a scam involving a 5000 KVA Mikano Power-Generating Plant'
The attention of Delta State Police Command has been drawn to an online publication of June 07, 2016 by the Sahara Reporters, New york with the above caption, and wishes to state unequivocally that the said report is false, malicious and a calculated attempt to tarnish the good image, integrity and impeccable character of the Commissioner of Police, CP. Alkali Baba Usman, psc (+) fdc.
2. To put the facts straight, the Command never at any time had 5000KVA MIKANO generator mounted at the State Headquarters, Asaba since it moved to the present site in 2001. However, the Command would like to intimate the reading public that a Perking 250KVA donated to the Police Command by James Ibori led administration in 2001 started malfunctioning and all efforts made by immediate past Commissioner of Police to fix the generator was to no avail as it finally packed up in 2014. Equally, there is no Ten (10) million naira monthly security vote meant for maintenance, being collected or made available by Delta State government to the office Commissioner of Police.
3. The Force Headquarters Purchasing and Tenders Board in line with the provisions of the relevant section of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 requested for the list of unserviceable items from the command and in its meeting held on Wednesday, 20th January, 2016 approved the disposal by public auction of Perking 250KVA among other unserviceable items in the command after theBoard of Survey and Enquiry constituted for that purpose had done physical inspection.
4. The public auction for Delta State Command was conducted on 23/02/2016 under the supervision of the Department of Logistics and Supply, Force Headquarters Board of Survey and Enquiry at Asaba. The Commissioner of Police, Delta State command, CP. Alkali Baba Usman did not benefit from the public auction either directly or by proxy. Thus, the suggestion by Sahara Reporters that the generator was looted or stolen by CP. Alkali Baba Usman is mischievous and must be discountenanced by the members of the public.
5. Additionally, the Commissioner of Police though of Northern extraction has never given protection to criminal elements camouflaging asherdsmen. It is on record that the Commissioner of Police organised several townhall meetings in the state, during which he condemned the activities of criminal herdsmen and equally solicited for the cooperation of the communities with the police in ensuring that criminals elements masquerading as herdsmen in the state are apprehended and brought to justice.
6. Finally, postings/transfers is a routine in the Nigeria Police, thus the movement of the Commissioner of Police out of Delta Command is not connected to any of the misgivings published in Sahara Reporters website.The welfare of officers and men of the command received priority attention of CP. Alkali Baba Usman in line with the Inspector-General of Police welfare agenda for the Force.
7. The Command urges the public to disregard the said publications as malicious and a figment of the imagination of the authors which is aimed at bringingtheperson of CP. Alkali Baba Usman to public disrepute, while advising Sahara Reporters to always conduct investigative as against arm chair journalism.

Bill Gates launches chicken programme to help the poor in Africa
Microsoft founder, Bill Gates who is famous for his philanthropic ventures especially in Africa has launched a novel programme to help Africa's poor and it involves plenty of chicken.
The billionaire philanthropist says raising and selling the birds can be efficient to tackle extreme poverty and to this end, he has promised to donate 100,000 chickens.
Based on his theory, farmer breeding five hens could earn more than $1,000 a year about $300 more than the poverty line. He added that the goal was to help 30% of the rural families in sub-Saharan Africa raise improved breeds of vaccinated chickens, up from the current 5%.
At the launch of the campaign in New York, Mr Gates said:
"These chickens are multiplying on an ongoing basis so there's no investment that has a return percentage anything like being able to breed chickens."
