Next Saturday, November 12, 2016, history will be made in Edo State as the Peoples Governor, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole would have completed eight eventful years as governor of Edo State and would step down in a planned colourful ceremony and would be handing over the mantle of leadership of the state to a scion of his administration and chairman of Economic Team, Mr. Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki as the Governor of theState.Comrade Adams Oshiomhole touched all sectors of the state this past eight years. When he assumed office on November 12, 2008, the PDP elements in Edo state accused him of being too slow to hit the ground running, Just as President Muhammadu Buhari is currently being accused of being too slow to commence action in government. Oshiomhole was wrongly attacked by the opposition PDP that hewas ‘planting flowers in ring road.’ Some said he wastalking too much. It was not long into his first one year of his administration that the Comrade stopped talking and bulldozers and caterpillars started speaking for him spontaneously all over the three senatorial districts of the state.Before long, the urban renewal project had gone underway cutting across all the 18 Local Government Areas of the State showing massive modern road networks with all the latest walkways , drainages, street lights, and flower lawns. Massive drainage projects– the Benin Water Storm, Queen Ede gully erosion reclamation project, Auchi erosion control project of the Oshiomhole-led administration has helped to control flood and erosion menace thatwas almost going to submerge the city of Benin City and Auchi prior to his coming on board. But for the Benin Water Storm project and other drainages embarked upon by the present administration, perhaps Benin city would have been swallowed up by floods as the PDP administration in the state never cared. Where would people living around five junction or Tomline would have been by now?In addition, the environmental sanitation situation has been energised and made quite functional. The street cleaning and maintenance programme has also provided employment for thousands of Edo people. The Five Junction in Benin which is now a beautiful sight to behold used to be a den of armed robbers and car snatchers. It is now a modern ring road, well asphalted with massive underground drainage, walk ways and street lights. Almost ten roads in the neighbourhood have been reconstructedto add to the beauty of the area. The people living in Isonoro axis of Benin would also not forget how Oshiomhole touched their lives reclaiming a vast area threatened by devastating erosion and turned dumpsite. The area was reconstructed and over ten streets reclaimed with new roads, walkways, street lights and now renamed Gani Fawehim layout. What about the people of Upper Siluko by Teachers House or Second East circular road in Benin? To them, Oshiomhole remains a hero.Water has been roundly provided for Edo people. EdoNorth and Central which used to experience guinea worm outbreak as a result of citizens relying on unwholesome sources of water now have water flowing from modern boreholes fixed by the Edo State Government under Oshiomhole’s leadership. This has drastically reduced water borne diseases which use to be prevalent in Edo North and Central.Realising that education is one of the biggest industry of Edo people and that it provides the foundation for the development of any society, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole undertook a major educational revolution in the state code named “the red roof revolution” as a cardinal objective of his administration. The red roof revolution must be sustained by Oshiomhole successor. Besides the massive reconstruction and renovation of public primary and secondary schools across the state, they have been equipped with modern instructional materials and equipment. Qualified Teachers are being hired to boost teaching and learning and give private school proprietors a run for their money. The educational system is being sanitised in a way that itwould compare to international standards. The red roof revolution would remain indelible in the hearts ofEdo people.Even the tertiary institutions are getting bigger and better deal than it used to be. The subventions to theAmbrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Chief Tayo Akpata University of Education, Ekiadolor and the subventions to the College of Education, Igueben and Michael Imoudu College of Physical and Health Education, Afuze have been consciously jerked up while the Institute of Management and Technology , Usen as well as College of Agriculture, Iguoriakhi have been upgraded and their courses accredited bythe National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). A new University, was established in Iyamho and has since commenced academic work as more efforts are on to keep education at pace with what obtains in developed societies. Edo people expects Mr. Godwin Obaseki to ensure that these universities are well established and made to function optimally.The Health sector has witnessed massive transformation this past eight years. Hospitals are being upgraded across the state. The Central Hospital along Sapele Road in Benin City is home to multi-million Naira five-star hospital, which comparesto any modern hospital, anywhere in the world. It targets bringing an end to Edo people travel overseas for medical treatment. Oshiomhole had assured that the project will be completed this year, 2016 before the handover date and it has come to pass today. Edo people expect Mr. Obaseki to replicate the same quality of hospital in the other twosenatorial districts of the State.Without mincing words, the Oshiomhole Governmentperformed creditably to support security agencies to combat crime and other vices in the state. It supported the Nigeria Police Force, Army, Air force, State Security Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corp as well as Neighborhood Watch and vigilante groups massively to discharge their duties of protection of lives and property of Edo people. Under the watch of Oshiomole, crime has been greatly reduced in Edo State.Also, Civil Servants in Edo had the best of times with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. As he steps down on Saturday, he did not owe workers any salary even in the face of economic recession. He even increased the state’s minimum wage to N25,000. All these happened even when 27 states of the federation, could not pay salaries of workers, including oil producing states of the Niger Delta. Thisis even the more reason why workers should be celebrating that Mr. Obaseki is the one succeeding Oshiomhole. He is sure going to continue this feat going forward.With all of these lofty accomplishments and monumental achievements, Edo people would forever remain grateful to Oshiomhole for his self-less services to the state even in the face of threats of the fallen godfathers. Edo people are sure to remember Oshiomhole as one governor who performed excellently well and has written his name in gold and in the sands of time. We know that if our constitution allowed third or even fourth term , Oshiomhole would have been called upon to serve up to the fourth. As he takes his bow on Saturday, one can only wish him fare well, God’s abundant blessings and success in his future endeavours. With his very tall credentials in good governance, we are confident that President Muhammadu Buhari will find him worthy to serve this nation in a much higher capacity.We are succoured with Oshiomhole’s efforts and leadership he provided at the last Governorship election which produced Mr. Godwin Obaseki. As he takes over from Oshiomhole on Saturday, Edo peopleare glad, not only that there would be continuity of developmental efforts, but because even Oshiomhole himself assured Edo people that GodwinOaseki would surpass his achievements. This is cherry and quite re-assuring. We wholeheartedly welcome Mr. Godwin Obaseki to the saddle and wish him well in office.

Donald Trump's campaign team has sought to allay negative views expressed overseas towards its candidate, a day before the US goes to the polls.Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told the BBC such antipathy "doesn't reflect why Donald Trump is running and who he would be on the global stage".She also attacked Hillary Clinton's "unremarkable to chequered" record as secretary of state.Both candidates are undertaking a blitz of campaigning in key states on Monday.The latest opinion poll, on Fox News on Monday, gave Mrs Clinton a four-point lead, double that of Friday.Latest from the final full day of campaigningMr Trump has faced a barrage of criticism from some world figures during campaigning. French President Francois Hollande said the businessman made people "want to retch". The UN High Commissioner for Human Rightsdescribed him as a danger internationally.Speaking to the BBC's Katty Kay, Ms Conway said negative attitudes overseas do "bother me" but defended Mr Trump's "America First" stance.Mr Trump "does say America First and he means it", she said, spelling out thereasons - stopping the loss of American jobs overseas, making sure all partners, including Nato, pay their fair share and renegotiating trade deals that are bad for the US.The views overseasWhat do Russians think of Trump?Donald Trump - the Canadian viewClinton and Trump compared to world leadersEurope hates Trump. Does it matter?Ms Conway also responded to a jibe from President Barack Obama that Mr Trump could not be trusted with US nuclear codes.The president, during a rally in Florida on Sunday, said that if Mr Trump could not be trusted with a Twitter account, he should not be in charge of US nuclear weapons.He was referring to a New York Times report that Mr Trump's team had takencontrol of his Twitter account from him.But Ms Conway denied the Times report and said Mr Trump could be trusted with the nuclear weapons.She said that Mrs Clinton had herself "not proved to be qualified with nuclear codes" citing her use of a private email server for classified information when she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 in the Obama administration.Ms Conway condemned Mrs Clinton for allegedly allowing her maid to print off classified documents.On Sunday, the FBI's director said a fresh inquiry into the Democratic candidate's communications had found nothing to change the bureau's conclusion this summer that she should not face criminal charges.Pointing to what she said was a series of foreign policy errors by Mrs Clinton, Ms Conway said: "The Russian resetwas a joke, she owns the fake'red-line' in Syria, she owns the lack of progress in North Africa and she certainly ownsBenghazi."US election: The essentials*.All you need to know*.Who is ahead in the polls?.Who is going to win?.Full election coverage from the BBC*.Hour by hour guide to election nightAsked why Mr Trump had been referring to Brexit in recent times, she said hewas talking about how the UK's Remain camp had seemed "pretty robust" in the final days before the referendum, but that the Leave team were able to turn out their supporters.She said: "But I told him just yesterday you should stop referring to Brexit, because it's actually the Trump effect, the fact that you have so motivated new voters and lapsed voters."If you waited four hours in traffic to go see him, there's no way you are not going out to vote tomorrow."A new poll organised by the global political movement,the Good Country, asking 100,000 people from 130 countries who they would vote for, saw Mrs Clinton secure 52%, with Green Party candidate Jill Stein on 19%, ahead of Donald Trump on 14% and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson on 7%, with 8% abstaining.'Healing and reconciliation'The FBI ruling on the emails has cast a long shadow over the final full day of campaigning.The Clinton campaign said it was "glad" the lingering issue had been resolved. Donald Trump accused the FBI of impropriety. Both sides accused the FBI of bungling the case.Mrs Clinton will not be addressing the emails issue on Monday, her team said, but instead pitching herself as the candidate of "healing and reconciliation".As she boarded her plane ahead of her first rally on Monday, she said: "I havesome work to bring the country together. I really do want to be the president for everybody, people who vote for me, people who vote against me."The email affairWhat we know about the new emailsHow FBI email verdict affects electionClinton emails - what's it all about?Mrs Clinton then told supporters in Pittsburgh they faced a choice "between division and unity, between steady leadership and a loose cannon".She then heads to Michigan, a traditional Rust Belt, Democratic stronghold that has been heavily targeted by Mr Trump in recent days.Mrs Clinton will go on to Philadelphia where she will be joined by President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, husband Bill Clinton, and Bruce Springsteen.The Democratic candidate will end her White House campaign with a midnight "get out the vote rally" in North Carolina.Her daughter, Chelsea, wearing a "Make Herstory" T-shirt, appeared with Mr Obama early on Monday in Ann Arbor, Michigan.The president launched an excoriating attack on Mr Trump, saying: "It's bad being arrogant when you know what you're talking about, but it's really bad being arrogant when you don't know what you're talking about."He told the crowd: "The fate of our democracy depends on what you do tomorrow."Mr Trump began in Florida, then headed to North Carolina. He will move on toPhiladelphia before ending with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.In Sarasota, Florida, he again railed against establishment politicians, leadingthe crowd in a chant of "Drain the Swamp!" and saying: "We're tired of being led by stupid people."In Raleigh, North Carolina, he told the crowd: "We've got to go out and vote and win. You have one magnificent chance to beat the corrupt system you are witnessing today. Do not let this opportunity slip away."Mr Trump will not let up on polling day, visiting Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina and New Hampshire after voting in New York.He must win a high number of about a dozen battleground states to secure the presidency.In states where early voting is allowed, more than 43 million Americans have already cast ballots. An estimated 129 million voted in the 2012 election, so this could amount to about a third.The justice department's civil rights division will deploy monitors to polling sites in 28 states on Tuesday, five more than in 2012.

Comments In an attempt to help the country save water, concerned Minister of Water and Sanitation Ms. Nomvula Mokonyane on Tuesday morning advised South Africans to try as much as they can to save water.“South Africa is facing a very difficult time at the moment, we are not getting enough rain and dams are running dry. We urge all South Africans to save water. We request all South Africans to bath only once a week until our dams have enough water.” She said.“When I was a kid, bath-time was a once-a-week affair. We weren’t an unhygienic family – this is just how most of us lived in the 1960s, and I do not remember any horrific body odors resulting from it. By the time I was an adult, Iwas showering every day. With hindsight, I should have stuck to the old ways”, said a man from Limpopo to support the Minister’s request.Here is what other people had to say:The amount of DMs that this tweet will inspire RT @CityofJoburgZA : Shower orbath in groups #Savewater ^TK8:26 AM – 1 Nov 2016Phlynt Phlossy™@PhilChardIn a bid to #savewater I’m prepared to shower with my neighbours wife, I’m sure he’ll understand.8:06 AM – 1 Nov 20164 13Uncle Stunckle@stunckle. @CityofJoburgZA I suggested this to my neighbour and now I have a restraining order… thanks…11:32 AM – 20 Nov 201513 3120 Nov City of Joburg@CityofJoburgZAShower or bath in groups#Savewater ^TKGavin Mannion@IsThisBetterYetWhere do we get these groups? ” @CityofJoburgZA Shower or bath in groups#Savewater ^TKpic.twitter.com/b8Kh8Oyw0M

19 prisons were scheduled to be closed in Netherlands. This is caused, in part, by a continued decline in crime rates. Additionally, those who are convicted are choosing electronic tagging instead of incarceration. This allows people to go back to work and continue as productive members of society. It also saves about $50,000 per year per person (about $50 million saved per year for every 1000 people).Johnson County and the Netherlands have something in common. The average incarceration rate in the Netherlands is about 163 people per 100,000. (Source) In Johnson County, we have about the same rate of incarceration – slightly lower.Counties and countries with low incarceration rates typically take a different approach to criminal justice and their investment in social services.In the Netherlands, for example, the focus is on “deterring and mitigating crime”as well as “sanctioning those who violate laws with … rehabilitation efforts.” (Source)This is similar to the approach taken in Johnson County with jail alternatives andinvesting in local social services. The county recently invested approximately $2.3 million into a portfolio of local organisations that have demonstrated a history of success with improving the quality of life in Johnson County.While progressive drug laws in the Netherlands may be partially the reason for a decline in arrests, other social factors are also at work. This points to crime reduction through changing social behaviour as a key to reducing incarceration — rather than just changing the laws or telling police to stop arresting people as a method for artificially creating the perception that there’s less crime.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, on Monday, again warned Nigerians against patronising what it described as wonder banks.

The CBN said they are fraudulent because their activities are not regulated,

This warning was given by the Head, Consumer Protection Department, CBN, Hajiya Kadija Kassim, at a mentoring programme for students of the Government Secondary School, Suleja, Niger State, organized to mark the World Savings Day.

It would be recalled that there had been growing concerns over the increasing dependence of Nigerians to weather the current economic Challenges in the country by taking to online investment schemes that promises as high as 30% monthly interest returns.

One of such schemes, the, MMM, has embark on vigorous online campaigns to get Nigerians to patronize it.

Kassim said: “We have heard about the activities of MMM, but I want to warn you against it because they are wonder banks that are not regulated.

“Desist from their activities because they are fraudulent.”

Speaking on the World Savings Day, the CBN official said: “The World Savings Day is a tradition created with the objective of stressing the importance of savings for modern economies and individuals alike.

“The primary objective is to increase awareness on financial literacy among various segments of the general public to sensitise them to the importance of saving, earning a livelihood, inculcating a savings habit, and generating employment and entrepreneurship for personal and national development”, she stated.

FOR a lesson in how to ‘out Barca’ Barcelona, look no further than this Champions League master class by Manchester City.

One mistake aside – which Lionel Messi took full advantage of, predictably – Pep Guardiola’s men were virtually faultless and carried out the coach’s battle plan to the letter.

High pressing; tireless closing down; immaculate defending; clinical finishing: this City performance had the lot. And then some.

It was hard to pick a stand-out performer because there were so many, all over the pitch, as City closed the gap on Barca to two points whilst moving three clear of third placed Borussia Monchengladbach.

Without Alba and Pique, the Catalans were always going to be vulnerable at the back and City took full advantage.

Willy Caballero, unlike Claudio Bravo in the away leg, kept his cool and didn’t put a foot – or hand – wrong and there was nothing he could do about Messi’s sublime opener.

City’s second half display, in particular, was impeccable and they hardly gave Messi another telling kick. They kept Suarez and Neymar quiet too.

After the 4-0 defeat at the Nou Camp it was vital City bounced back with a Barcelona-type performance and they didn’t disappoint on a memorable night at the Etihad.

Sergio Aguero, having been mysteriously left out of the defeat in Spain, didn’t manage to get on the score sheet but was an inspiration throughout.

As was Kevin de Bruyne whose stunning free kick put City 2-1 up after man of the match Ilkay Gundogan had cancelled out Messi’s 21st minute strike.

Gundogan, who missed much of last season and the Euros with a bad knee injury, put the game to bed with his fourth goal in two games to secure City’s first ever win over Barcelona.

Nothing more than they deserved. Guardiola’s half time Pep talk clearly did the trick.

The Nigerian Senate, on Tuesday, dumped President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2016-2018 External Borrowing Rolling Plan request of N29.96 billion.

The request was rejected immediately the Senate convened for the day’s business. Leader of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume moved a motion that the request be considered.

He was supported by the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha. President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki thereafter, put the question forward whether or not the request should be debated.

When it was put to a voice vote, almost every Senator who was present, shouted ‘nay’. Not certain, Saraki again called for another voice vote. Lawmakers again thundered ‘nay’. Saraki thereafter ruled in favour of those who voted against the loan request.

A lawmaker who spoke to Ripples Nigeria, explained why the request was rejected: “The President in the letter said there was an attachment containing the breakdown of the external loan request. But there is no attachment. President Buhari did not attach the breakdown. There is no way we can consider such a request.

“Secondly, the president has not sent Federal Government’s 2016-2018 borrowing plan to the Senate. That ought to have been sent first for consideration and passage before this request. If we consider this request, how do we do that? These are the obvious reasons. There is no political undertone here.”

Last week Tuesday, President Buhari forwarded a request to both chambers of the National Assembly to approve his request to borrow $29.96 billion to finance projects cut across all sectors with special emphasis on infrastructure, agriculture, health, education, water supply, growth and employment generation, poverty reduction through safety net programmes and governance, as well as financial management reforms.
