Israeli Education Minister, Naftali Bennett has said that the idea of a Palestinian state was over after Donald Trump’s election as US president, calling for an end to what has been the basis of years of negotiations.
“Trump’s victory is an opportunity for Israel to immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in the centre of the country, which would hurt our security and just cause,” Bennett, who heads the hardline Jewish Home party, said in an apparent reference to the occupied West Bank.
“This is the position of the president-elect … The era of a Palestinian state is over.”
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, also of Jewish Home, called on Trump to follow through on his promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in a break with the consistent policy of successive administrations, Republican as well as Democrat.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, also called for the embassy to be moved, as did Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat.
There was no immediate reaction from Netanyahu himself.
The prime minister caused controversy when he ruled out a Palestinian state ahead of a 2015 general election, but later backtracked and has since expressed support for the two-state solution.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the most difficult issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Palestinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state, while the Israelis call the entire city their eternal indivisible capital.
Trump has pledged to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“I think you have shown that we are certainly going to the World Cup. But not just get to the World Cup, we are going to come back with the kind of victory that will stun the world.” Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who had a pep talk with Super Eagles player whom he visited today, Tuesday, during their training session at the National Stadium in Abuja, the nation’s capital said: “frankly speaking, I think that we have all it takes to win and to win very decisively and so we have all our hopes and all our aspirations. We place them very squarely on your very able and robust shoulders and we will be looking forward to victory and we are almost certain that we will give all the support that we need to give.” Vice President Osinbajo told Super Eagles, who are billed to play with Algeria in the World Cup qualifying series that Algeria is just going to be a stepping stone, “and I know that you guys are all set: you are all prepared to go!” He commended the team for beating the Zambians in Ndola, which he said was an incredible feat that broke the old jinx. He assured the players that the federal government would do its best to meet their financial needs and to make sure that they are well provided for, “so that our country is portrayed in the very best light and our team, this great team of ours will win. “So we are looking forward to an incredible victory and so many more victories. “This match is important because obviously if we win this match, we are practically there because the others in our group have already drawn, so we are set for a qualification. “I think that all that we need to do now is to be very hopeful and prayerful because I strongly believe that God will help us to win and not just to qualify but to record an outstanding performance at the World Cup.” [myad]
“What happened in (the last elections) in Kogi, Bayelsa and Rivers States disturbs me a lot. I think we should go beyond these actions. Why do we kill each other, putting tyres on people and setting them ablaze? “I have told the law enforcement agencies; if we can’t conduct an election in one state then we should forget about 2019.” President Muhammadu Buhari made these remarks last night (Monday) at a state dinner in Benin, capital of Edo State, during his two-day official visit to the state, to commission some projects executed by the outgoing governor, Adams Oshiomhole. The President, who directed the security agencies to ensure violence-free elections in Ondo and Rivers states, reminded them that such elections will serve as litmus tests for the general elections in 2019. This was even as he acknowledged the role played by Governor Oshiomhole in ensuring the success of the APC in the last gubernatorial elections in the state, even as he challenged the Governor-elect, Godwin Obaseki, to continue in Oshiomhole’s footsteps of providing purposeful leadership in terms of quality infrastructure, education and social services. “The publicity your predecessor has given his performance is going to stretch you to the limit. “Considering what he has down, you have to continue in his footsteps. We wish you the best of luck and will do our best to support you.” On the current economic challenges, the President assured Nigerians that his administration is working hard on diversification of the economy to limit the country’s over-dependence on oil. “This country has incredible mineral resources. All we need is to believe in ourselves so that we can have and leave a better Nigeria for our children and grandchildren.” [myad]
Group Executive Director in the Corporate Communications Department of Dangote Group, Engineer Mansur Ahmed has rolled out many projects, worth about $20 Billion, which the group has embarked on to help the government of Muhammadu Buhari to revive the economy that is currently in recession. In an interactive session today, Tuesday, with top media executives in Abuja, Engineer Mansur said that Dangote Group has taken the lead from the private sector perspective, in the government’s move to reinvigorate and diversify the nation’s economy. According to him, the Group has responded positively to the government’s emphasis on agriculture and has therefore embarked on massive food production. “We are focusing in agric, including integrated sugar manufacturing. We have 3,000 hentre in Adamawa State. Our sugar plant in Apapa, Lagos, one of the largest in Africa, is being positioned to produce 600,000 tons of Sugar per annum. “We wish to establish sugar cane plantation in many states and hope to hit 100,000 hectre of sugar production in many states. “We are going into massive rice production. We have started in Jigawa state and will go into full commercial rice farming. In the nex five years, we hope to establish 150,000 hectres of farm land across the country, with particular reference to Kogi, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi and Kwara states.” Engr. Mansur said that the Group would also assist farmers in the acquisition of farm imputs such as fertilizer, irrigation for wet season farming, in addition to the extension services it would be rendering to farmers to increase their yield per hectre. “Our main focus is on Northern states,” the Group’s communication strategist explained. Engr. Mansur, who hinted that the Group is also venturing into the production of quality fertilizer which plant is already taking shape, said that the Group would increase its inputs in its core area of operations, which is the manufacturing of basic commodity that help people. They include cement, sugar, salt, Transport business, steel and others. On cement, he said that the Group started in 2010 with production capacity of 10 million tons per annum, and that as at today, it has increased to 40 million tons per annum, adding: “we are hoping to hit 80 million tons per annum in no too distance future.” He added that the Group produces cement in more than eight African countries even as it hoped to be the largest in Africa. Engr. Mansur hinted that Group has ventured fully into gas pipeline, saying that it is hoping provide 250,000 people gainful employment and to saven the country huge foreign exchange. “We will be saving over $100 million in foreign exchange,” he stressed, adding that crude refining to produce 650,000 barrel per day is in the offing. This is aimed at stemming importation of the product. Answering a question during the interactive session, Engr. Mansur said that Dangote Group or even Alhaji Aliko Dangote had never asked any government for policy waver or any government favour in all the businesses the Group ventured into, saying: “we comply with all government measures but remain competitive. Dangote is not overbearing as some people are saying. Dangote is not getting any preference from government in its requirement, including Forex allocation.” He attributed the rice in the price of cement to high foreign exchange rate, inadequate gas and other factors which are beyond the control of the Group. On Aliko Dangote’s proposal to buy Arsenal Football Club in the United Kingdom, Engr. Mansur said that the issue is still in proposal form and that it has not been put into practice. “No negotiation is currently going on. He will buy any Nigerian club that is viable.” [myad]
Economic experts and top industry players are expected to brainstorm on November 16, at an Economic Summit put together by the WorldStage, on the unemployment challenges facing Nigeria, the erstwhile African biggest economy. The Summit will be held at the Lagoon Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos This is coming against the background of the recession into which Nigerian economy had slipped in the second quarter of 2016, with a decline in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2.06 percent. The President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of World Stage Limited, Mr. Segun Adeleye, said in a statement today, Tuesday that the theme of the summit “Addressing the Unemployment Crisis in Nigeria” was inspired by the need to identify and proffer solutions to the growing unemployment problem in every sector of Nigerian economy. He said that. the summit, which will be graced by policy makers from the executive and the leadership of the National Assembly, in the right position to formulate policies that can reverse the job losses trend, will identify the employment generation potentials of every sector of the economy from agriculture, ICT, maritime, banking & finance, mining, aviation, construction, oil and gas and others and then address what they need for them to realise their full potential. He said that some of the top officials that will make presentations at summit include Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development; Mr. Mordecai Ladan, Director in the Department of Petroleum Resources; Mrs Omolara Aromolaran, MD/CEO, Crown Natures Nigeria Plc; Senator Donald Omotayo Alaosoadura, Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum (Upstream); Dr. Gloria Elemo, Director General/CEO, Federal Institute of Industrial Research (FIIRO); and Mr Waheed Olagunju, Acting Managing Director, Bank of Industry (BoI). Others include Mrs. Efua Edeh, Executive Director, Junior Achievement Nigeria; Ms Funke Opeke, MD/CEO, MainOne; Mr Oladele Amoda, MD/CEO, Eko Electric; MD/CEO, Ikeja Electric and Acting Managing Director of Nexim Bank, Bashi Wali. According to Adeleye, the alarming rate of unemployment in Nigeria should not only be of great concern to the government, but also to the private sector and other critical stakeholders in the economy. “Though, unemployment is a global problem, but for us in Nigeria, it is endemic, as our high population growth is out of proportion with the economic development and productivity. Recent World Bank data put the country’s population at 182,201,962,” he said. He said that the summit will also review the economic potentials of the states and local governments in order to arrive at sustainable development strategy for them to be economically viable with or without revenue from federation account. He said that it will assist government on the policies that will make the economy productive, globally competitive and generate jobs. “It will also provide knowledge base for government on how to save billions of naira in revenue, diversify economy, create jobs and end the practice of committing the largest portion of income to the payment of civil servants’ salaries among others.” [myad]
President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that it is easy for the over 450 ethnic groups in Nigeria to come together, justifying the need for Nigeria to sustain the current multiparty structure to accommodate various interest groups. The President declared: “We believe in multi-party democracy system it is the best for us. In a country of over 450 ethnic groups, it is not easy to come together, only God can do it.” Buhari, who spoke today, Tuesday at the commissioning of Edo State University, Iyamho, in Etsako West local government area of Edo State, asked Nigerians to appreciate the strength in the country’s diverse ethnic and social groups. “We are doing our best because we have found ourselves as part of this great country called Nigeria.” The President, who concluded a two-day state visit to Edo today, encouraged Nigerians to view the current economic challenges in the country as an opportunity to set the economy firmly on the path of true diversification and sustainable economic growth. “We are blessed with human and material resources. We made terrible mistakes in allowing ourselves to become a mono economy and we are now paying dearly for our mistakes. “Nigeria made money from cocoa, palm oil, palm kernel, groundnut, hides and skin and others. We threw everything away because of petroleum. “We have to go back to the land and solid minerals and do a lot of savings so that we can leave a better country for our children.” President Buhari expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their understanding and faith with the administrations reform programmes. “This is a time for hardwork, this is a time of rebuilding Nigeria. “During my campaigns, I emphasized three things, security, economy and fighting corruption. In each of them, we are recording success.” President Buhari congratulated outgoing Governor Adams Oshiomhole on his eight-year stewardship, which has resulted in the quality of projects completed in the state. “Certainly, Governor Oshiomhole is lucky to have served two-terms in office and he has engraved his name in gold in the history of Edo state.” This was even as Governor Oshiomhole appealed to Nigerians not to relent in supporting the current administration. “Nigeria has a future under Buhari. There is no overnight solution to the country’s problems.” [myad]
Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has observed that Nigeria appeared not have prepared for the future in terms of education.
According to him: “our future depends on education, the problem is that the future has already arrived, much sooner than we thought and if truth be told, we may not be exactly prepared for it.”
Osinbajo who spoke today, Tuesday at the second annual Nigeria education conference in Abuja said that there are many fundamental issues to resolve; saying that the first is ideological.
“ Indeed the theme, Learning Opportunities for All: The Critical Role of Teachers, emphasizes in my view, the ideological underpinning of education: education for all.
“Education is a tool of empowerment, the lack or inadequacy of it can also disempower, so education can create or deepen inequality in the society. A well-educated few with access to the best opportunities and others who are simply not qualified to take advantage of the best opportunities brings me to the example of the huge disparity in our country between the quality of public education especially at primary and secondary school levels compared to what obtains in good private schools in the same country.
“In the US before 1954, the issue was segregated schools, poor quality schools meant for black people and high quality schools for white children. Colour was what was used to segregate the schools; blacks could not go to white schools. Now, this changed with the historic decision in Brown versus Board of Education which outlawed segregated schools in the US. In our country there is also segregation but it is based on income and the standard of education of parents.”
Osinbajo noted that public schools are regarded as being meant for lower incomes and are therefore of poor quality, compared to good private schools which are meant for children of many of us in this room.
He said that most Nigerians who can afford it, have a very different view for the education of their children, these days, culminating in schools abroad.
“For the poor, it is a vicious cycle, the poor remain poor because of poor education and illiteracy. Most times, their children also attend poor schools. So, while children in private schools are already using some form of technology or the other and are exposed to the best practice in teaching, the children of the poor have no access. It is really a tale of two cities.
“As Professor Akyeampong-(referring to the lead presenter at the conference who had spoken ahead of him) describes the gap between the education for the poor and the better-offs as a learning crisis. I think it is true, it is indeed a learning crisis. But if we were to propose here that we must engage technology in our public school system, many will say it is unrealistic and unnecessary, how can we afford it. Somehow, we become somewhat more cynical about education for the disadvantaged.
“We know that many who go through public primary schools have serious difficulties in reading and writing. So, we must change something about what we are doing now.
“My wife and I have a trust which we have run for a number of years, I think about 8 years now. We do reading and writing training for children in 40 primary schools in Lagos. The first shock we had when we started was the fact that most of those children simply were not prepared for basic reading and writing. It was obvious to us that a lot of the problem had to do with how they were being trained on how to read and write. And of course the quality of teacher education.
“But what was required was really quite simple, there are available methods today that can accelerate teaching, reading and writing but the reason why that is not available in public schools is that we are not investing enough. Not just in technology but in new methods and ensuring that those children who are in public schools have access to some of the better methods to reading and writing.
“It is my respectful view that it is the responsibility of those of us who are educationists to think through the solutions for delivering relevant education with the very little resources available.
“I came across the inspirational experience of an Indian educationist who in four years reformed public education in Haryana. The school system had 15,000 schools, 100,000 teachers and 2 million students. The most important part of the story is that the reform was done with little or no resources by using situations around the teachers and the schools including WhatsApp for sharing ideas and information amongst the teachers and supervisors in the department of education.
“The reason why the story is particularly inspiring is that it did not take that long; it only took the commitment and a dedication to solving the problem. I strongly believe that the fastest way to breach the gap between those who can afford good quality education and those who cannot is technology. Technology also provides the means to leapfrog the huge knowledge created daily between the hemispheric north and south.
“Fortunately, technology is becoming cheaper and more intuitive. I was watching the other day an animated video on class room management made by Nigerian animation innovators in partnership with Nigerian educators. The material does not need to be replicated at any great cost. It will be available on portals or any other electronic platform.
“All of such materials can be downloaded and used on a smartphone. I can hear someone saying, how about data? I think this is where our discussion on getting technology companies to contribute to education comes in. MTN for example is giving free data for the 500,000 volunteer corps graduates who we are engaging, to be able to get access to and use materials available on the training portal.
“It is therefore quite clear that teacher education itself must radically change. Teacher training must be technology driven. I also think that a teacher must be trained in much wider curriculum. A teacher must be trained in employability skills, project management, financial management and entrepreneurial skills. Training this new generation of young people is a new challenge. Today, we are training individuals who must learn to multi-task and compete in the global society; the best jobs will require complex skills.
“The good news is that this type of training is available and can be made cheaper and more available. Let me commend the Minister of Education and his team for their commitment and dedication to teacher education and the important issues that will shape the future of our society and nation.” [myad]
Showbiz superstar and social activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charlie Boy has planned what he called a 10,000-man anti-corruption protest within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to be staged on November 15. Oputa told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja: “in the life of every human being, there comes a moment when we must take a stand on certain matters. “Beginning from November 15, 2016, we, about 10,000 ordinary people with no political affiliations, will begin a series of mass protests and will occupy the nation’s capital. “We are a coalition of people with no political affiliations and believers in the interest of our country.” Oputa said that civil society groups, students, market women and other stakeholders from across the country are being mobilized to be a part of the peaceful protest. “This movement is bringing together men and women who are capable of giving something for the good of their country no matter their tribes or religion. “Change is hard and difficult, but it is the only constant element in our humanity. “It is time to become fearless and become comrades in the struggle for good governance.” Oputa emphasized that the “occupy” protest was to tell political leaders at all levels that they must be accountable and selfless in their service to fatherland. “We also believe in the capacity of President Muhammadu Buhari to lead us in the right direction. “This is part of our nationalistic engagement to help President Buhari root out corruption, impunity and mindless political criminality out of the Nigerian polity.” Oputa said that the peaceful protest would be tagged: “Occupy Nigeria,” saying that it would be targeted at all arms of governments as well as MDAs that are failing in their responsibilities of providing good governance for the people. Oputa, who said that the Buhari’s fight against corruption is yielding result, asked everyone who meant well for Nigeria to join hands in the “rescue mission.” According to him, successive leadership failure and corruption over the years have left ordinary Nigerians to be suffering in the midst of plenty. He said that the country is richly blessed with natural resources but had suffered from bad leadership and sustained political criminality. “Every local government and state of the Nigerian federation is feeling the impact of decades of a wasteful culture and recent years of mindless looting in governance. “Over180 million people are at the mercy of few politicians who have mastered the art of creating division among her own people through religion, ethnicity, corruption, trivialities and frivolous issues. “The future we are afraid of is gradually becoming our new reality daily.” He said: “This is a process of holding politicians accountable not only to their promises, but in their service to the Nigerian nation. “We need all Nigerians to join us in moving this nation forward. “Every Nigerian will not be on the street of the FCT, but support can come in whatsoever form.” [myad]
Popular Zambian pastor, lsaac Amata, has predicted that Democrats’ nominee, Hillary Clinton, will emerge victorious in the United States presidential elections billed for Tuesday (today), ahead of her Republican Party counterpart, Donald Trump.
Amata made this known on his Facebook page – Prophet ISAAC AMATA Prophecies on Tuesday.
This is coming after the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet T.B Joshua predicted that the next President of the United States will be a woman.
Clinton is the only leading female candidate.
The other female presidential candidate is Jill Stein of the Green Party but does not have massive followership.
He said, “By the way, in order not to keep you in suspense, what I frankly saw a woman”
In the same vein, Prophet Amata prophesied, saying: “I SEE PROTESTS..VIOLENCE AND RIOTS AFTER THE VICTORY OF HILLARY CLINTON… DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT.
“Today’s USA elections will go down in history as one of the most turbulent elections ever as the Democratic Party candidate defeats Donald Trump narrowly at Electoral College but massively at the popular votes count.
“Like l said in December 2015 on my Facebook page.
“History beckons for her. It is irreversible!
“Donald Trump will immediately reject the results calling for protests, impeachment against her.
“I saw key states heeding his call. Protests!
“Police drafted to stop the protests as Trump supporters go on rampage!
“The republican senators vowing to oppose her to the last and trying to frustrate her programs and agendas.
“Just like l said 3days ago. Despite all, she will shock many by forming a broad Base Government including people from opposite Republican Party that will bring changes in USA.
“I see a mighty tussle in the Senate.
“Republican Party, get ready for some shocker!
“Barrack Obama legacy continues.
“Destiny can be attacked or fought against but cannot be reversed!
“Congratulations HILLARY CLINTON!
“She is sworn in January 20, 2017 succeeding Barrack Obama.” [myad]
As Americans go to the polls to elect its 45th President, the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remains as close as well.
The investigations into Clinton’s use of private email server have now been concluded with no charges to be brought against the Democrat candidate. But the relevations last weekend have already done enough to give Trump momentum into the final week.
Based on polling data from RealClearPolitics, we have the latest state-by-state predictions and an estimate of the overall electoral college vote.
Clinton has been ahead almost continuously in the Telegraph’s poll of polls, which takes an average of the last five polls published on RealClearPolitics.
The presidential campaign has seen Donald Trump, once Rpublic outsider, close the gap on Clinton before falling back after a series of controversies.
Trump has briefly pulled ahead a couple of times – first on 19 May. His polling threatened to consistently overtake Clinton in September, but has since fallen back after a series of allegations of sexual assault were made against him.
Trump is prone to making gaffes and alienating key demographic groups with his comments. His comments on sexually assaulting women, as well as poor performances in the Presidential debate, had seen Clinton extend her lead.
The New York Times has worked out that, even one day before previous elections, a simple polling average has differed from the final result by about four percentage points. With the polls being still close, anything could happen.
How does the presidential election work?
Each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, has a certain amount of Electoral College votes to award a candidate, based on the number of members of Congress it has. This is roughly in line with each area’s population. Except in Maine and Nebraska, the votes are given on a winner-takes-all basis.
This system matters, as the popular vote is less important than the electoral college vote. Clinton’s campaign should be buoyed by big Democratic states such as New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California, and these populous states could lead her to victory with their large number of electoral college votes.
For example, in 2008, Barak Obama won 53 per cent of the vote – but this led to 68 per cent of the electoral college vote. Such highly populated states played a large role when they backed the current president.
The states to watch
Swing states – states that often switch between Democrat and Republican in different elections – are also important.
Swing states explained in 90 seconds Play! 01:33
States like Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia have the power to swing the election. So far, neither Trump nor Clinton has a significant lead in these crucial states.
Why are the US election polls so close?
Both candidates suffer from unpopularity, both within their own parties and among the public at large.
Some big Republicans figures have refused to endorse Trump, while YouGov polling has shown that just over half of Bernie Sanders’’ supporters would back Clinton.
New York Times and CBS News polling has shown that the two candidates’ popularity is limited by the public’s lack of trust in both of them.
Just a third of Americas think Clinton is honest and trustworthy, compared to 35 per cent thinking the same of Trump; 57 per cent of people say they don’t share Clinton’s values, while the number is even higher for Trump, at 62 per cent.
More people think Clinton has the right kind of temperament and personality to be a good president, while Trump has the advantage when people pick the candidate who they think could bring about “real change” in Washington.
US presidential election 2016: the key data Play! 02:22
What are the odds on the American presidential election?
It has long been said of predicting sporting outcomes that the bookies don’t get it far wrong, working out probabilities with complicated mathematics based on the choices of their thousands of paying punters.
After last year’s surprise General Election result in the UK, as well as the Brexit vote, many political followers have lost faith in pollsters and prefer to look at the odds to predict the future.
Hillary Clinton has been odds-on favourite since the end of February, but Trump has steadily caught her up as his Republican rivals dropped out. Last July he was a 25/1 shot while Hillary was already at evens.
Coral’s latest odds for the next US president are:
Hillary Clinton: 2/9
Donald Trump: 3/1
How could demographics impact the US election?
Age, race, gender and education are all big dividing points in the Presidential race, with polling showing that men and whites are backing Trump, and women and ethnic minorities are supporting Clinton.
Race has always been a huge dividing line in the US election, and the clash between Trump and Clinton is no different. Just 17 per cent of Hispanics and three per cent of black people back Trump, according to recent polling.
This could prove significant in this election. For example, Hispanics account for more than a fifth of the population in four key swing states.
Education is another big demographic division in the race – and there’s a reason why Trump said he “loved the poorly educated”.
Among high school graduates or those with a lower level of education, Trump has the backing of 44 per cent – compared to the 36 per cent who support Clinton.
This could prove significant in the swing states of Georgia and Nevada, which both have a high proportion of people failing to graduate from high school.
We’ve mapped out each candidate’s road to the White House here and you can also keep up with what to look out for in the US Senate and House of Representatives elections, also due to happen tomorrow, with our hand guide. [myad]
