FOR the people of Egi community in Ogba Egbema Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, there is no better way to express appreciation to Mr Guy Maurice, the out-going Managing Director and Chief Executive officer of Total E& P Nigeria limited for his contribution to their well-being: That is to honour him with their presence on the day he was conferred with the coveted traditional title, Uhwo ka Egi, meaning “the Light of Egi land”.

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has blamed the stampede and death of over 20 Nigeria Immigration Service applicant last weekend on the scourge of corruption at all levels of government in the country

Organizing this conference firstly, is in fulfilment with our constitutional responsibility as a zonal headquarters. The constitution makes it clear that all the organs popularly known as branches under the Nasru-Lahi-l- Fatih Society of Nigeria NASFAT meets periodically to have a progressive review of the objectives and how to achieve them. Also, to share practice in keeping with that objectives stated in the constitution and therefore we have chose to meet every three months.

THERE is no doubt that the immigration officials responsible for the national tragedy of March 15 2014 that resulted in the death of 16 young Nigerians could be liable for the offence of manslaughter. There is ample evidence to prove all elements of the offence.

Over 50 per cent of the Nigerian youth population is unemployed. A recent survey puts the figure at 54 per cent. This figure was reduced by about 16 people over the weekend, not as a result of job provision, but by the claws of death at the recent Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise. Blame it on unemployment, experts say, and they could not be farther from the truth
