		<description><![CDATA[The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has explained that the detention of former Chief Executive Officer of Intercontinental Bank, Erastus Akingbola has not violated any court order contrary to insinuations and misleading information being peddled round by his image handlers.   The Commission in a statement on Saturday said, &#8220;Our attention has been drawn to some misleading information being circulated by the image handlers of Mr. Akingbola to create the impression that the EFCC is holding on to the accused person in contravention of an order by Justice Achibong of the federal high court, Lagos.   &#8220;We wish to state that this information is not only totally misleading, but equally designed to generate undeserved public sympathy for an accused that has been validly charged to court for stealing billions of depositors funds. The plain facts which Akingbola&#8217;s handlers have failed to place in the public domain are:   &#8220;The order of Justice Achibong of the federal high court which they have been circulating to stop Akingbola&#8217;s arraignment and ensure his release cannot hold because the order was issued after the action it was meant to stop, that is arraignment, had already taken place at a Lagos High Court on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Written Oludare S. Fase, Washington, DC Applicants for the 2012 US visa lottery who checked their results after May 1st, 2011 and found out that they have been selected would need to cut short their celebration, while those who were not selected now have a second chance. This is due to a public notice posted on the programs website canceling earlier results posted due to computer programming error. The notice titled “IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE 2012 DIVERSITY LOTTERY PROGRAM” reads in full “We regret to inform you that, due to a computer programming problem, the results of the 2012 Diversity Lottery that were previously posted on this website have been voided.  They were not valid and were posted in error.  The results were not valid because they did not represent a fair, random selection of entrants, as required by U.S. law. If you checked this website during the first week in May and found a notice that you had been selected for further processing or a notice that you had not been selected, that notice has been rescinded and is no longer valid. A new selection process will be conducted based on the original entries for the 2012 program. If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Written by Eno Samuel As the final decisions on petitions in respect of the just-concluded elections are about being taken by members of various courts (Election Petition Tribunals and Appeal Courts), the masses are relying on the judicaiary to perform well. But one hears that some Judges did lots of lobbying to make the list. It is assumed that the Tribunal members are familied persons, therefore, one expects spouses of such members to be weary and discourge any sudden increase in their family life-styles which could be as a result of bribes aimed at thwarting (any) expected justice. It should be remembered how the wife of Pointus Pilate requested her husband to properly scrutinize the case when Jesus Christ was brought before him for judgement. She washed off her hands. We all knew what happened thereafter. In order to advance our naesent democracy, all hands must be on deck: There were places where oppositions were restricted to campaign, thereby robbing them of their expected votes; such action is contrary to electoral law. There were instances of security agents aiding some politicians against others. There were perpetrated hijacks of ballot boxes and other electoral materials with the cooperation of the security [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Written By Stephen Apata The Ondo state governor, Dr. Segun Mimiko has become a political force and a pillar that has become impossible to uproot at least as far as his primary constituent, Ondo State is concerned and the nation’s political landscape at large. The medical doctor’s fame and influence has in recent time become stronger in the nation’s polity and this is evident in the role the governor who got his mandate restored about two years ago on the platform of Labour Party, played in ensuring that the President elect, Goodluck Jonathan emerged victorious in the recently held presidential election. .Besides, the governor did the most desired for his party when he secured the confidence of the people of Ondo state with good and exemplary governance to ensure that the Labour Party take total control of the political structure in the state This also became manifest in the complete excavation  to irrelevance, of the People’s Democratic Party which hitherto held sway in the state and everything that it represents as shown in the results of the recently concluded general elections in the state. Not oblivious of the influence and the hold of the governor on his state, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Written By Kayode Kelani, The African Examiner .May the soul of Mimi Alu rest in perfect peace; Amen. Death is inevitable thing that awaits every human being but most people’s wish is to die at God’s appointed time – old age. I gathered from a member of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Katsina Alu, that the family had a wedding ceremony on Saturday May 7, 2011 and at the end of the day in their home-town house retired under the collection of trees in their compound. When Mrs. Alu noticed the serious wind that was threatening, she suggested that they should get into the building but as they stood up to, a tree directly fell on her and that was it. CJN Katsina Alu, together with an Igbo Priest that visited them from the East, as their guest, was seriously injured but luckier than Mrs. Alu. . One is not suggesting that anything untoward brought about this incident but one hastens to say that for such happening at this time; it should serve as an early morning, clarion call on the Judges billed for the Election Tribunals. They should be very careful and carry out their assignments without taking sides.  [...]]]></description>
