Pope Francis has described pornography as part of an “industry of lies,” even as he said that sex in itself is not taboo.
“Sexuality, sex, is a gift of God. Not taboo,” Pope Francis told a group of young people from the Diocese of Grenoble-Vienne in France on Monday. That particular comment was in response to a 16-year-old who asked how to navigate in a world that “desecrates” the human body.
“Love between a man and a woman, when it is passionate, it leads you to give your life forever. Forever. And to give it with your body and soul,” the pontiff explained, as quoted by the Catholic news website Crux.
Francis also criticized pornography as being part of an “industry of lies,” as it amounts to “sexuality detached from love.”He went on to state that humans, due to weakness or spiritual failings, sometimes use their sexuality in a way that does not follow the “very beautiful way” it was intended. Instead, those people use it as “objectified sexuality, detached from love and used for amusement.”
He encouraged young people to “safeguard” their sexuality well and “prepare for that love” which will be part of their entire lives.
The Catholic Church forbids premarital sex, teaching that intercourse should be solely between a husband and wife.
I have no NYSC Discharge certificate. Yes, you read that right. And I graduated long before I was thirty. Before you reach out for your whistle or recommend me for trial, hold your peace. I served. I was originally posted to Bauchi state but later redeployed to the then University of Ife in the old Oyo state because Prof. Wole Soyinka requested for my services. Through no fault of mine, I was never issued a discharge certificate. I wrote several letters to NYSC and paid follow-up visits but nobody knew what happened to my certificate between Bauchi and Ibadan. All I got was a letter of attestation to confirm that I actually served! That is almost forty years ago! I still carry the crumpled piece of paper around!
In 2007, I applied for the renewal of my Driver’s License. For close to two years, I was paying visits to the Oyo State Secretariat office of FRSC for photo capture without success. In all that period, all I had was the duplicate of the form I filled to show proof that I had actually applied for a renewal. The story throughout the period was either no light to operate the generator or when there was light, the relevant officer was not on seat. But I knew that my dilemma was because I refused to play ball by going through a third party, tout or FRSC official.
In 2009, I relocated to Lagos. One of the first things I did was to go to the headquarters of the Local Government in Agege where I lived to see if I could process the renewal there. I went through all the required processes and eventually got my “license”. Or did I? Three years later when I needed to do a renewal, I went to the FRSC office in Ekiti where I moved to in 2012. Shock of my life; I was told that the license I was holding which had all the watermarks and imprint of an authentic license was FAKE!!! The system had NO RECORD of it! Yet, I did not obtain it through a third party. So, through no fault of mine, I who obtained my first Driver’s License in 1982, was now being treated as a fresh applicant for a license in 2012, thirty years later! In the period that I used that license, I would have boldly tendered it to any officer of the law on demand, not knowing that it could have landed me in trouble!
Sometime in 2009, I got a car. The former owner, a respectable member of the society, took the pains to complete its registration in my name and sent me the documents. Upon expiration of the particulars, as is my custom, I PERSONALLY went to the Licensing office in Lagos to renew them. To my utter chagrin, it turned out that the documents I was carrying were fake, even though the person who gave me the car, being a person of integrity had processed the papers through what he believed to be legitimate channels! He was scandalized upon hearing what happened. But we had to go through the process afresh to legitimize ownership. Had I had an issue with the law before then, the car could have been impounded!
When the IG of police issued the directive on permit for tinted windows, I took my car to the Police Headquarters in Ado-Ekiti to process the application. A few months before then, I changed from the old number plate to a new one. So I went with the “valid” documents. To my utter amazement, when the officer keyed in my car details with the new number, it said that my number had not been allocated to any vehicle, meaning that I was technically driving a car with a fake plate number! But for the goodwill I enjoy in the society, my car would have been impounded as a stolen vehicle while I could have been arrested as a receiver of stolen goods. The officer explained to me why. It turned out that my insurance certificate was not genuine and so was not captured in the system. Yet, I remember telling them at the Licensing office that I wanted a genuine certificate with a reputable insurance company when they offered me options that could have meant paying half the statutory amount to get a certificate. I insisted on paying FULL VALUE and still got a fake certificate in the name of a registered insurance company! In rage, I immediately headed for the licensing office. The supervising officer apologized but of course, no one was willing to take responsibility for the gaffe. I had to pay again for another certificate but this time around, I practically stood on their neck until I was shown proof that the details were captured in the FRSC system that would interface with their own transactions. Thereafter, I went back to the Police Headquarters to process my permit and with one click, the officer was able to access my information. Yet, not once in all of the narratives above did I patronize touts or a third party/agent! I went to those offices personally because I wanted to do what I believed to be right!
I am sure many of you reading this may not even know that it is possible that the Customs Papers or other documentation of your vehicles may not be genuine even though you were charged full value and perhaps more for their processing! Imagine the shock that would envelope you when, on a routine stop and search by any of Customs, Police or FRSC, you are pointedly told that the documents you so confidently threw at them on demand were fake! Assume that they follow due process and charge you to court. You are either made to pay a fine or sent to jail for forgery. Even if it is only for a week, you have become an ex-convict, unfit to hold public office for life except by a judicial pardon. For no fault of yours, you become persona non grata, an institutional untouchable! This is the precarious situation that pervasive institutional corruption exposes ALL of us to!
That is the kind of experience I am sure Kemi Adeosun, immediate past Finance Minister must have fallen victim to.
When the story of the ‘forged’ NYSC Exemption Certificate first broke, I, like many people, was totally flabbergasted and outraged that someone of her caliber would ever do such a thing. But I felt a restraint in me and so did not immediately make any comment because I felt that to do so would be highly prejudicial. My position was further justified when NYSC issued a public statement to the effect that Kemi actually applied for an exemption certificate. I am glad I obeyed my instincts.
Reading the context and content of her resignation letter, I felt sorry for Kemi, an unwitting victim of a system rigged for incompetence and wired to serve the greed of some miscreants who ensure that the system never experiences seamless operations.
Anyone listening to Kemi speak would know that she did not grow up here in Nigeria. That much she confirmed in her letter. She had her first Nigerian passport at the age of 34! What this means is that as at 22 when she graduated, she was technically NOT a bona fide Nigerian citizen! She was BRITISH! I am not a lawyer and hold no brief for her but if she technically did not become a Nigerian citizen until 34, should the law on compulsory service for anyone under 30 have been retroactively applied? I would like to believe that this was the basis of her applying for an exemption!
A few questions emerge here:
If indeed, Kemi applied for an exemption as confirmed by NYSC, how long does it take for NYSC to give a response, positive or negative to such a request? If she hadn’t, I would have been worried. But she did! Kemi served as Commissioner for Finance in Ogun State for FOUR years and another THREE as Minister at the Federal level and yet, no official response to her request! I can identify with that. NYSC NEVER replied any of my enquiries on the whereabouts of my Discharge Certificate almost forty years ago till today!
Could a staff of NYSC have scammed Kemi, taking advantage of her naivety, to produce and present the forged certificate to her, purporting it to be the response of the NYSC to her request, a possible reason why she did not bother to pursue the matter further with NYSC?
Did Kemi, not having lived or operated in Nigeria before she was headhunted by Governor Ibikunle Amosun, have a way of knowing what an authentic exemption certificate looks like for her to discern that the one she got was fake? I have lived in Nigeria all my life, used several cars, renewed several driver’s licenses over a 36-year period, yet, I was scammed by officials of the relevant agencies!
Was it out of place for Kemi to have relied on the certificate she was given, especially when there was no subsequent communication from NYSC granting or refusing her exemption?
Is the NYSC not complicit in the entire process? If you ask me, I think that the NYSC is the real culprit here! That body has a case to answer!
Would Kemi, with her pedigree and her exposure, have deliberately committed a fraud over an exemption certificate? I doubt it. She never claimed that she served. Her claim was that she sought an exemption. NYSC confirmed that much.
Why the special focus on Kemi? Why did the story break just shortly after her tiff with the Senate as well as NNPC and its opaque operations? It reminds one very rudely of Lamido Sanusi’s travails. He was hailed as the whiz kid of Nigerian banking until he started prying into NNPC issues! He was promptly pilloried and sacrificed. Ditto Nuhu Ribadu, czar of anti-corruption, poster boy of institutional probity, until he started trying to fish in ‘sacred’ waters! Coincidence? A Presidential aide, Okoi Obono-Obla has allegedly had his Secondary School Leaving Certificate repudiated by WAEC. He continues to be on the roll of Nigerian lawyers and a presidential Special Adviser. It has not generated the same hoopla as Kemi’s case has. Yet, thankfully, none of Kemi’s academic credentials is suspect.
If indeed Kemi carried a British passport until the age of 34, would it then be right to technically refer to her as a Nigerian until that time when she chose dual citizenship by obtaining a Nigerian passport? Lawyers can help me out here. I want to be educated.
Until I have reason to be otherwise convinced, going by my experiences shared in the first and second parts of this write-up, I believe that Kemi Adeosun, like many other Nigerians, including possibly YOU reading this, was just a pawn in a chess game where the Grand Masters have learnt to prey on the intelligence of a people who hardly interrogate issues beyond hype and hoopla, even when they themselves are also mere pawns.
It is Kemi today. She is the dog being called a bad name. Technically, she has just been hanged. Perhaps she is culpable and is stewing in her own juice. Maybe she was just a victim of her own “ajebutter” naivety. It may be YOU tomorrow. Did you say it cannot happen to you?
Maybe. But before you make that boast, go into your own records and those of your children if they were issued in Nigeria before the chess players do so for you. Every single one of them. Birth certificate. Primary School Leaving Certificate. Secondary school. University. NYSC Discharge Certificate. Marriage certificate. Driver’s License. Vehicle particulars. Land purchase documents. Property documents. Certificate of Occupancy. Import Duty certificates. Tax records. Verify that they are all genuine. Maybe then, you can join those who pillory Kemi Adeosun.
If you are not able to do that and you are currently throwing stones at Kemi, watch your back. Just do not venture into public office. Keep throwing your stones by the sidelines. Otherwise, on the day the wind blows to expose the behind of your own fowl, get ready for arrows and javelins to be hurled in your direction while you wonder what on earth happened!!!
Kemi Adeosun leaves Nigerian public service space with her head held high. She has my respect for honorably resigning, one of the very few public officials to ever do so instead of being kicked out with ignominy, a sacrificial lamb on the altar of our collective systemic dysfunctionality which should have engaged our attention instead of the largely shallow-minded nitpicking that attended this whole saga. To those who may be clinking glasses tonight at her resignation, your victory is phyrric! You may be the next lamb!
Today, Kemi returned to Britain, the first place she knew as home, signposting to foreign-born Nigerian diasporans who would like to return home to serve their fatherland that this is a land that eats up its good inhabitants.
When you remove sentiments and personal attachments from the circumstances in which one of the Nigerian senior Journalists, Malam Yushau Shuaib found himself and how he swam in it, you are likely to come out with a verdict of Resilience or doggedness.
Yushau Shuaib was made a sacrificial lamb when he was abruptly retired from the federal civil service in June 2013, at the tail end of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s regime for daring to write a piece considered to be offensive to a powerful minister in that regime, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
It is not the abrupt retirement of Yushau Shuaib who until then was the spokesperson of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) that impresses us in the Greenbarge Reporters but how he reacted to it.
He had gone to court to challenge Dr. Okonjo-Iweala, the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) and Federal Ministry of information over his abrupt retirement with James Ode Abah of Bamidele Aturu Legal Chambers on the legal driving seat.
In his statement of defence, Yushau Shuaib had argued that Public Service Rule 030421 gave him the right to write an article.
The section states: “nothing in this rule shall be deemed to prevent an officer from publishing in his own name, by writing, speech or broadcast matters relating to a subject of general interest which does not contain a critic of any officer.” He also cited Section 39 (1) of the 1999 Constitution which states: “Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including the freedom to hold opinions and receive and impart ideas and information without interference.”
He followed the legal processes until Justice David Isele of the National Industrial Court (NIC) finally ruled in his favour, ordering his immediate reinstatement.
Justice Isele declared that the letter retiring Yushau from service has no force of law and is therefore illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect whatsoever being in flagrant violation of the civil service rules.
The judge also declared: “The premature retirement of NEMA spokesperson by the Federal Government without conducting any investigation, without giving him an opportunity to defend himself and without complying with the condition precedent for retirement is contrary to Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution and therefore illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional and null and void.”
The court ordered Yushau Shuaib’s immediate reinstatement into his duty post as the Chief Information Officer without any loss to seniority, salaries, position and other emoluments.
The judge ordered the Federal Government to compute and pay within 30 days, all salaries, allowances and other emoluments due to Yushau Shuaib from June 2013 to the judgment date and interest at the prevailing commercial bank’s rate on his total package.
Of course, from day one, Yushau Shuaib did not lament, rave at and curse his fate on even the government that “oppressed” him: he did not mobilize his colleagues in the media to fight his “enemy, but he quietly went to court to challenge the government over the retirement. Not only that, he found something else doing.
While the legal battle raged on, he founded an outlet, a press release platform known as PRNigeria, for critical institutions in Nigeria serving the military, security, intelligence and response agencies, among others.
He coined the motto of PRNigeria as being out to encourage institutions to be transparent in their information management as it provides news items from authoritative sources for free use by the media.
He became very popular in the security circle as he made his platform readily available for them for use in delivering the true positions of things to media organizations in the country so much that he could walk confidently into the office of security chiefs around the country. Many media managers found press releases and other publishable items from his platform very reliable and safe.
Just as he was enjoying the new found love within the same media circle, and when he least expected, yesterday, September 17, 2018, the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed asked that he should be reinstated into the federal civil service, in a letter with reference number FMIC/LEG/307/VOL.1/122, signed by the Director of Human Resources Management, Mr. S.U. Ewa on behalf of the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture.
He was reinstated with immediate effect as Chief Information Officer on GL14.
The letter reads in part: “I am directed to refer to the National Industrial Court judgment dated 22nd November, 2017 on the above subject and to inform you of the Honourable Minister’s directive that you be reinstated into the civil service as Chief Information Officer, SGL14 with immediate effect.”
“You are therefore requested to report to the undersigned for further instruction, please.”
With his patience, perseverance and ability to remain relevant, Yushau Shuaib has been able to conquer the fear of the unknown by not allowing what would have weighed down other who are less courageous to face life the way it comes, to overcome him.
While the less courageous ones would have been boxed to a corner and fizzled out, Yushau dodged the temporary setback, and today, he seems set to enjoy the pleasure of eating with both sides of his mouth – running his successful PRNigeria platform and earning handsome wages, including the accumulated entitlements.
After years of suffering, who says Yushau should not smile?
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has asked delegate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Oyo State to the party’s presidential primary in October not to vote for any other Presidential aspirants but him, who he said is their own son.
“I know that I have captured a delegate with me. I am sure that many aspirants have come but now that your own has come home, there is nothing wrong in telling them your son has come so that Oyo can have someone that will protect its priority,”
Senator Saraki, who addressed PDP delegates in Oyo State today, Wednesday ahead of the October presidential primary of the party, declared: “on my father side, my grandmother came from Iseyin here in Oyo State; the same town where the PDP chairman in Oyo State comes from.
“I am happy to be back at home. This is my home, this is my state. By the boundaries that we share between Oyo and Kwara States, compared to other aspirants, it is just a stone throw to travel from Oyo to Kwara State, and they will know that their next president is just next door.”
Saraki gave assurance that Oyo State’s priorities would be protected if he becomes the president.
The Legal Defence and Assistance Project (LEDAP) has dragged Senate President Bukola Saraki, and some other lawmakers to court seeking a declaration that they are no longer members of the National Assembly.
In a suit filed before an Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, the group joined Godswill Akpabio, the former senate minority leader; Dino Melaye; and Rabiu Kwankwaso as defendants. Twelve other senators and 36 members of the House of Representatives were also joined as defendants.
Also joined in the suit as defendants, are the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the deputy senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The suit is seeking, among others, a declaration that by virtue of section 68(1) (g) of the Nigerian Constitution, any member of the National Assembly who resigns from the political party that sponsored his election into the National Assembly before the expiration of the term for which he was elected, automatically loses his seat in the Assembly.
It is also seeking a declaration that the lawmakers are no longer entitled to receive any remuneration due to a member of the National Assembly and that any of such remunerations after their date of defection be refunded to the federal government.
LEDAP, in the suit filed on September 14, also prayed the presiding members of the National Assembly to declare vacant the seats of the defectors.
No date has been fixed yet for the hearing of the suit.
The National Chairman of the Providence People’s Congress (PPC), Benson Adetona, has bemoaned lack of funds to run political campaigns ahead of the governorship election in Osun State on Saturday, September 22 even as he expressed confidence that the party will win the election.
The chairman who addressed news men today, Wednesday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, said that despite vigorous efforts of its party and the gubernatorial candidate, Prof. Ife Adewunmi to sell the party’s manifestoes to the electorate in the state, the money-driven political environment remained a serious bane.
He said that the party would shock the people of the state when the election results would be announced, adding that PPC candidate would be declared winner of the poll against all odds.
He described the party’s flag bearer as the most competent among co-contestants with clear-cut ideas to transform the state.
Adetona, however, berated the organizers of last Sunday’s governorship debate for not including 43 other contestants in the exercise, accusing them of contravening democratic principles of fairness, equity, and inclusiveness.
“Money has become a monster that is eating us up the fabric of this country. Nigerians have given much premium to money and that is responsible for our plaques. We will not rise above our challenges if we keep placing so much value on money.
“We don’t have money to dominate the media space, we have prayed and worked hard in campaigning to wrestle power from the ruling party, I can assure you that it will be a miracle on Saturday.
“Our governorship candidate, Prof Ife Adewumi is of impeccable character and a thorough bred professional who knows his onions. He is equally standing upon an impeccable platform.
The governorship candidate in his address, promised to empower youths, create employment and boost the economy.
He, however, reiterated the resolve of the party not to go into alliance with any political party.
The Nigerian police has said that the N50,000 paid to men and officers taking part in the governorship election on Saturday, September 22 represents duty tour allowance for ten days in line with the Financial Regulations and Public Service Rules.
Reacting to a newspaper report today, Wednesday that federal government had paid to constables N50,000.00 each for election duty, others more allowance more than N45000 monthly salary, the police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood said that the payment of allowance to officers and men of the Nigeria Force and that of other Security and Safety Agencies complementing the Nigeria Police Force in election security in Osun State is statutory and transparent in line with the Financial Regulations and Public Service Rules as it has to do with Duty Tour Allowance.
“To further disabuse the minds of members of the public who must have read the report and to correct the mischief by the writers of the story, the following is the breakdown of the Duty Tour Allowance (DTA) entitlements paid to Police Officers and Men deployed for election duty in Osun State and other previous Gubernatorial elections held in Edo, Ondo, Anambra and Ekiti States.
i. Ranks and File (Constable to Sergeant) – N5,000 DTA per Day X 10 Days = N50,000
ii. Inspector to Chief Superintendent of Police – N12,000 DTA per Day X 10 Days = N120,000
iii. Assistant Commissioner of Police – Assistant Inspector General of Police – N16,000 DTA per Day X 10 Days = N160,000
iv. Deputy Inspector General of Police – N20,000 DTA per Day X 10 Days = N200,000.”
Moshood described the newspaper report therefore as absolutely misleading and an outright misinformation “which is figments of imagination of the two (2) writers. The Federal Government did not pay constables N50,000 each for election duty, others more as claimed in the report.”
He said that either due to outright ignorance or deliberate mischief, the writers rushed to the press for purposes best known to them without a thorough check of what the Public Service Rules and Financial Regulations provide for every police personnel deployed for special duty, Election Duty and other ad-hoc duties as Duty Tour Allowance (DTA).
“The Force will continue to hold the media in a very high regard and as veritable partner in ensuring the protection of lives and property of all Nigerians, however, the Nigeria Police Force implores them not to allow the pages of their esteemed Newspapers to be used to publish unverified, misleading, mischievous and beer palour gossip.
“Members of the public are hereby enjoined to disregard, discountenance the story as untrue, misleading and misinformation.”
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Idris to stop the summon on the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 22nd September, 2018 gubernatorial election in Osun State , Senator Ademola Adeleke.
The police boss, had, earlier in the day, Wednesday, asked Senator Adeleke to report at the force headquarters, Abuja, to answer to alleged examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, personation, breach of duty, aiding and abetting against him.
A source in the Presidency who pleaded for anonymity, confirmed that the President had directed that Adeleke should not be invited until after Saturday’s election.
Senator Adeleke
The Police Public Relations Officer, Acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, had in a statement invited Adeleke and four others: Sikiru Adeleke, Alhaji Aregbesola Mufutau (Principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Egbedore LGA, Osun State), Gbadamosi Thomas Ojo (School Staff responsible for the registration of candidates for NECO), Dare Olutope (School Teacher who facilitated the commission of the crime), to report to the Special Investigation Panel, Force Headquarters, Abuja immediately for arraignment in court.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has embarked on dialogue with the communication giant, MTN and four deposit money banks (DMBs)that were recently sanctioned.
According to the Director in the department of the apex bank’s Corporate Communications, Isaac Okorafor, in a statement today, Wednesday, the sanction is currently being reviewed with a view to arriving at am equitable resolution.
“In response to the recent regulatory actions, the Banks and MTN are engaging the CBN and have provided additional information which is currently being reviewed with a view to arriving at an equitable resolution.
“We assure all investors that the integrity of the CCI regime remains sacrosanct and there shall be no retroactive application of foreign exchange rules and regulations.”
Okorafor recalled that the sanctions on the banks arose due to irregularities with respect to repatriations made on behalf of MTN Nigeria Limited and that they were not in any way designed to restrict access to investor returns.
“We wish to restate that the CBN will continue to welcome foreign investments and investors. “Indeed, some of our recent innovations and reforms of the Foreign Exchange regime such as the introduction of the NAFEX window, are designed to simplify foreign exchange regulations. Furthermore, the delegation of the issuance of Certificates of Capital Importation (CCIs) to commercial and merchant banks some years ago was done to instill confidence in the investor community and encourage the flow of foreign direct and portfolio investments into the Nigerian economy.
“The CBN welcomes all legitimate investors to take advantage of the enormous investment opportunities in Nigeria.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the suspension of the national carrier project.
Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who announced the suspension today, Wednesday, said that the decision was taken by the Federal Executive Council.
He said however that all commitments due will be honoured.
In a tweet via Sirika’s handle, the minister wrote: “I regret to announce that the Federal Executive Council has taken the tough decision to suspend the National Carrier Project in the interim. All commitments due will be honoured. We thank the public for the support as always.”
Though Sirika did not give reason for the suspension, it was gathered however that the nation’s Economic Management Team (EMT) disapproved of it, recommending that the Nigerian government should not set up a national carrier with public funds.
The EMT, headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, wanted the ministry of transportation to accelerate the search for strategic investment partners who will finance and manage the new airline.
It said that in the absence of a borrowing plan for government participation, President Buhari ruled against spending money that is not in the budget.
Promoters of the idea of the new national carrier were said to have been asked to work towards 2019 budget if any government investment is to be involved.
Only about two months, Nigeria unveiled the proposed airline at the Farnborough Air Show in England on July 18.
Critics and industry experts raised concerns over the project when it was launched in July, with many suggesting that Nigeria cannot afford it at this time.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the suspension of the national carrier project.
