Serena

After
 celebrating prematurely on her third match point, letting her racket go
 after serving what she thought was an ace but learning that it was a 
let, top-ranked Williams took a deep breath and fired another ace — her 
15th of the set and 18th of the match — to seal it.</div>

 time, the celebration was real. She jumped around like a little child, 
bouncing up and down, before shaking hands with Sharapova at the net.</div>

Buhari Was Stoned In Lagos, Obanikoro Insists

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="narrow">
<blockquote>
Musiliu Obanikoro, the immediate past 
Minister of State for Defence, on Saturday insisted that the 
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress [APC], Muhammadu
 Buhari, was stoned in Lagos on Friday on his way to his party’s 
presidential rally at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.<br /><br />Mr. Obanikoro 
had posted a comment on twitter on Friday condemning the purported 
stoning of Mr. Buhari, suggesting that the APC candidate was so 
attacked.<br />But the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai 
Mohammed, promptly issued a statement, saying Mr. Buhari was never 
attacked and that Mr. Obanikoro was playing political games.<br /><br />“Not
 once was he (Mr. Buhari) pelted with stone during the almost two-hour 
ride,” Mr. Mohammed said. “It is obvious that those who were paid by Mr.
 Obanikoro to stone the General failed to deliver. We therefore urge him
 to seek a refund of whatever money he paid to his hired hands to pelt 
Gen. Buhari with stones.<br /><br />“Gen. Buhari and other top leaders of 
the APC rode in an open bus from the Palace of the Oba of Lagos to the 
Teslim Balogun Stadium venue of the rally, to great cheers from 
Lagosians who lined the route.<br /><br />“Obanikoro’s statement on an 
imaginary attack on Gen. Buhari in Lagos must be his own way of saying 
‘thank you’ to his masters for nominating him as minister on Friday, as 
his reward for ceding the governorship ticket he claimed to have won to 
Jimi Agbaje.”<br /><br />But in a statement on Saturday, Mr. Obanikoro chided the APC spokesperson for denying the purported attack on Mr. Buhari.<br /><br />“It
 is pointless and futile, but also does not give the APC any advantage,”
 the former minister said via a statement by Ohimai Amaize, his Special 
Adviser on Media Strategy. “When things go wrong, we must acknowledge 
and condemn it in order to forestall any future occurrences.”<br /><br />“Senator
 Obanikoro, based on eyewitness accounts is aware of the stoning 
incident at Idumagbo area of Isale-Eko, Lagos State, and the fact that a
 woman was injured in the ensuing fracas after General Buhari’s security
 detail had to shoot into the air to dispel the irate mob,” the 
statement added.<br /><br />The APC is yet to respond to Mr. Obanikoro’s new statement on the matter.<br /><br /><br /></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Available information has shown 
that four-year-old Abraham Omonigho, who was attacked by two German 
shepherd dogs in Igando area of Lagos State, in September 2014, was 
infected while at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was said by the medical personnel 
at the Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, an Indian medical facility in 
Telegana State, where Omonigho was flown to late November, 2014, after 
his father, Odia, took him out of LASUTH.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After spending about two months at the 
Apollo Hospitals, Omonigho returned to Nigeria on Thursday. The 
treatment of the undisclosed infection was said to have lasted over one 
month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Omonigho’s scalp had been covered up by 
the doctors but Odia said his son would return to India in June 2015, 
for a micro surgery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Saturday PUNCH</em> learnt this on Friday during a visit to the Abrahams in their Akesan Estate residence in Igando area of Lagos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent had reported that 
Omonigho was riding a bicycle with his brothers-Bobby and 
Osemidiamen-when they were attacked by the two dogs owned by their 
landlord.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PUNCH had reported that while the 
older brothers jumped down from the balcony of their one storey 
apartment, the victim was ravaged by the dogs, which tore his scalp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neighbours and policemen were reported to have stood at the gate, helpless, until the victim’s mother arrived at the scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent reported that the 
crowd persuaded her not to go in, but she was spurred to move in after 
seeing one of the dogs emerge from the balcony with blood in its mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helen reportedly fought off the dogs singlehandedly and rescued her son while the crowd assisted in taking him to the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The victim was taken to LASUTH and the 
State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, ordered the management not to collect
 money from the family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the victim’s father, Odia, had a
 running battle with the hospital management, which he said still 
charged him for drugs and other medications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odia later raised the alarm that his son’s condition had worsened as a result of neglect by the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Delta State Governor, Emmanuel 
Uduaghan, intervened and together with a non-governmental organisation, 
Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care, a trip to India was arranged
 for Omonigho to undergo a surgery.</div>

Abraham Omonigho, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lagos State Commissioner, Jide 
Idris, in a press release cautioned against the trip, saying the 
victim’s condition was delicate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Idris alleged that the victim’s father 
declined the state government’s offer for Omonigho to be flown to 
another specialist hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odia, however, insisted that his son’s 
head had started to rot and that the Indian trip had been concluded 
before the state government gave him the Dubai offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odia said the Indian doctors thrashed the medical report LASUTH issued to them, which he said was termed as “mere paper.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, “They said the report did not 
give them any information and couldn’t have been written by a doctor. 
They said it was good I quickly brought my son because his head was 
getting rotten and had been infected while at the hospital. The doctors 
told me they could not start with the surgery because they had to treat 
the infections first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You remember I cried out that my son’s 
head smelled, but the LASUTH people said it was granulation. I had 
always suspected things were wrong because at LASUTH, the nurses would 
open his head for dressing at 6am and leave it open for the doctors, who
 would not show up till 12pm. And when they did, they would ask the 
nurses to close it up. I remembered that no doctor showed up for two 
weeks during a particular time. That was when I got mad because his 
condition was becoming critical.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But in India, they dressed his wound three times a day, and at least five special senior doctors attended to him every day.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent was shown a medical document of the hospital which confirmed that Omonigho’s head was infected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It read, “At the time of admission, 
there was: large raw area over scalp with infection; the raw area was 
extending from frontal scalp, bilateral parietal scalp to occipital 
region; the raw area was looking pale and slimy; Infection+.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Dr. Durga Prassad, consultant 
paediatrician, was consulted for evaluation of medical problems. He 
(Omonigho) was diagnosed as a case of infected raw area over scalp.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Odia said the doctors told the family 
they needed to do skin grafting to temporarily cover up the wound before
 the major operation would be done after his return to India in June.</div>

 former gubernatorial candidate under the umbrella of the Peoples 
Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Sen Musliu Obaniko, has declared 
that Nigerians won’t waste their vote for Buhari come February 14.<br />
The
 immediate past Minister for Defence (State), enjoined Nigerians to 
judge the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), 
General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) by his past and not what his party 
presents him to be in 2015.<br />
Obanikoro stated this on Tuesday while
 addressing party supporters at the campaign rally he organised under 
the aegis of the Goodluck/Sambo Independent Campaign Group in Lagos.<br />
Obanikoro,
 who insisted that Buhari was not electable said: “we cannot continue to
 judge Buhari based on what we think he will do in future. He should be 
judged by what he did as a former head of state”.<br />
He said the assaults committed by Buhari and his regime cannot be swept under the carpet.<br />
According
 to him, “his assault on Pa Awolowo, Late Bola Ige, Former Gov Lateef 
Jakande among others cannot be forgotten. The worst crime was his 
stopping of the Lagos Metro line which would have put Lagos state on a 
pedestal of sorts.”<br />
The former minister used the avenue to add his
 voice to the controversy surrounding the educational certificates of 
the APC candidate, saying that the issues must not be allowed to be 
patched up as the opposition party wanted.<br />
While
 calling on Nigerians to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan, he 
explained that the President was serving Nigeria without discrimination 
and that he had helped Nigeria’s democracy to grow by guaranteeing 
freedom of speech for all.</div>

Buhari Describes Jonathan’s Achievement In Education Sector As Empty

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="narrow">
<blockquote>
 Presidential candidate of the All 
Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd.), has deflated
 claim by President Goodluck Jonathan of his administration recording 
outstanding achievements in the education sector, describing the claim 
as empty and inconsequential.<br /><br />The APC Presidential Campaign 
Organization that disclaimed this rather held the administration 
responsible for serious shortcomings in the sector, and blamed President
 Goodluck Jonathan for presiding over the greatest decline ever known in
 the education sector in the nation’s history.<br /><br />In a statement 
issued by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the 
party blamed the administration of President Jonathan for the present 
confusion in the sector ridden with long strikes occasioned by the poor 
management of the sector by his appointees.<br /><br />It continued that “A 
second characteristics of the sector are the ill-equipped and 
poorly-staffed universities set up by President Jonathan in 2011 for the
 purpose of winning votes. The Jonathan’s universities are more like 
glorified secondary schools. Thirdly, is the continuous mass failure of 
young Nigerians in international examinations like the West African 
School Certificate (WASC).”<br /><br />The APC presidential campaign 
spokesperson maintained that his party “have taken note of President 
Jonathan’s song in his recent campaigns around the country about the 
number of new universities and tertiary institutions he has set up in 
the past six years and how he hopes that these would train our youths to
 take the country to the moon.<br /><br />“We dare say that none of the new 
universities set up by President Jonathan, meets the standard of good 
institutions in terms of infrastructure, adequate and well-trained 
academic staff and proper planning about the future growth and 
development of these universities.<br /><br />“Therefore, it amounts to 
self-deceit to say and believe that his ‘’political universities’’ can 
take Nigeria to the moon. As a result of the lack of foresight and 
policy somersault of the Jonathan’s government in the area of education 
at all levels, the nation has continued to grapple with the problem of 
low standard of many young graduates and high rate of failure of the 
nation’s youths in international and national examinations like WASC and
 NECO.<br /><br />“Therefore the claim of President Jonathan of having 
performed wonderfully in the education sector is a bogus claim which 
cannot stand rigorous examination and analysis,” he noted.<br /><br /><br />The
 APCPCO categorically alleged that the future of our education has bcome
 precarious because the administration of President “Jonathan has only 
carried out cosmetic improvements for the purpose of winning votes and 
retaining power rather than well thought out and fundamental changes 
that genuinely transform the sector.” </blockquote>

We Saw Helicopters Dropping Arms, Food For Boko Haram – Idps

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />Displaced
 residents of Monguno, in Borno State, which was recently taken over by 
Boko Haram, have said they saw helicopters dropping arms and food items 
for the insurgents in the bushes.<br /><br />The IDPs, who said they spent 
about 48 hours in the bush running towards Maiduguri, expressed worry 
that the Boko Haram sect was not the only ones involved in the 
insurgency, but that there are many foreign fighters and some external 
supports.<br /><br />Leader of the Nigeria Vigilante Group in Monguno, 
Muhammed Sani,50, said he had, on several occasions, spotted unusual 
delivery of items in big wooden boxes by air, and sacks being dropped in
 the bushes around Marte and Monguno where Boko Haram terrorists were 
camped.<br /><br />“Even during the attack on Monguno, there was an aircraft
 that came but did not do anything, not even dropping a single bomb 
before it left; then another one later came around the Monguno barracks 
and we saw four men alighting from the aircraft, using a rope. The 
aircraft left, but we doubt if they were soldiers.<br /><br />“Even before 
then, some of my colleagues and I have been sighting helicopters 
dropping items in sacks and some in boxes to them at the camp of Boko 
Haram near Chikungudu and Kwalaram villages. Many helicopters came to 
drop items packed in boxes and sacks to the Boko Haram insurgents at a 
bush camp between Monguno and Marte; then we would see the Boko Haram 
gunmen rushing to the spot to pick the dropped items,” he stated.<br /><br />The displaced vigilante officials said those that attacked Monguno comprised hundreds of foreigners who looked like Chadians.<br /><br />“Many
 of them looked like Chadian Arabs – they were light-skinned with coiled
 hair, and there were many young men from Monguno – who Boko Haram had 
abducted when Nganzai was attacked last year – that were now active 
members of the sect.<br /><br />“While Boko Haram members that are former 
youths of Monguno were leading other insurgents to attack Monguno town, 
the foreigners were the ones engaging soldiers near the barracks,” he 
explained. <br /><br />Sani, who said he had lived in Monguno for the past 
20 years, said he fled amidst the hail of bullets when the terrorists 
became irritated by his anti-bullet charms that rendered bullets 
ineffective. His shirt and trousers were riddled by bullets, yet he 
remained unhurt, he said.</div>
