 NLC Chairman and 14 others

 By Soji Babalola, Ogun State.

   The Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun,
has approved the dismissal of the state
Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress,
Akeem Ambali, the NLC vice-chairman and
the state Chairman of the Nigeria Union of
Teachers, Dare Ilekoya.

Also on the dismissal list were 14 others.
Eighteen others, who are mostly teachers,
were suspended.

Their dismissal and suspension was part of
the recommendations contained in a report
of a panel of inquiry set up to investigate
the alleged misconduct of the executive
members of the NUT during the 2016
World Teachers Day celebration on October
5 in Abeokuta.

The officials of the union were said to
have been suspended for their roles in the
conduct of the celebration.

The recommendations of the panel signed
by the Head of Service, Sola Adeyemi,
were approved by the state government for
immediate implementation.

Our correspondent gathered that the state
government set up an administrative panel
of inquiry to look into alleged complaints
received from some members of the public
against the affected officers for their
alleged involvement “in various acts of
misconduct and contravention of extant
regulations during the celebration.”
The NLC chairman was until his dismissal
a deputy director, Community and Social
Development, Sagamu Local Government
Area of the state.

He was accused of making “inflammable
and scandalous remarks” against the state
government, which the panel noted, could
cause the breach of peace in the state.
Those dismissed from service were said to
have been found guilty of contravening the
Public Service Rules 04401,04421(c&d)
and 04406(a).

Those dismissed were A.O. Oshin, Nola
Balogun, Eniola Atiku, Solaru.O., Adebanjo
T., Akinola A.S., Oyolola S.A., Obafemi
O.B., Ogunsola Peter, Akinlade S.A.,
Christopher T.A., Ogunrombi A.A., Azeez
K.I. and Taiwo A.O.

Those suspended were Odusanya S.A.,
Comrade Akapo, Adegbesan J.O., Adelami
S. I., Obadara O., Ogunnuga O.A.,
Ayokambi T.A., Tijani A.A., Adegbesan
J.O., Idowu A.O., Olaifa O.A., Bayo Lasore,
Ahmodu S.A., Oludotun Oliyide, Tijani Y.A.,
Awode I.A., Dada O.A. and Adesanya
Abiola.

The state government had directed the
Ogun State Local Government Service
Commission, the State Universal Basic
Education Board and the Teaching Service
Commission to implement the
recommendations with immediate effect.
But the state NLC chairman has described
the action as “executive recklessness and
abuse of all statutory laws.”

He urged the workers “to remain resolute
in the quest to have their legitimate right
from an autocratic and deceitful
government.”

In a statement on Monday night, he said
he had never been summoned by any
panel, adding that the attention of the
leadership of the union was just drawn to
the purported dismissal through phone
calls.

The statement read in part, “Our call for
this strike is legitimate, just and right.
They have only shown their true colour and
this new approach is unprecedented in the
history of this country, as no state
governor has done what they are doing to
us in Ogun State.
 Their past draconian efforts have never yielded any fruits, so
also will be this move to cage us in Ogun
State.

“We only want to warn that they should
not set this state on fire, even as we urge
our members to remain calm and just stay
at home.

 Three Men were arraigned 
For attacking Yinka Ayefele
In Ekiti State

  By Oloruntoba kemisola, Ijero Ekiti

The police in Ekiti State on Monday
arraigned one Kolade Owolabi, 35, Tope
Olorunfemi, 22, and Isiaka Yusuf, 20, before
an Ado Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court for
allegedly attacking a popular gospel/
highlife musician, Yinka Ayefele.

The police prosecutor, Sergeant Bankole
Olasunkanmi, told the court that the
accused and others at large conspired
among themselves to unlawfully damage
the windscreen of a vehicle belonging to
Ayefele on October 27, 2016, at about
7.30pm at the Ewi’s palace in Ado Ekiti.

It was gathered that the musician was at
the palace on the invitation of the Ekiti
State Government to entertain the Ooni of
Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, who was
visiting the state for the first time after his
coronation, when the hoodlums swooped
on Ayefele and his band members.
Olasunkanmi said, “The offence
contravened Section 451 of the Criminal
Code, Cap C16, Vol 1, Law of Ekiti State.”
The prosecutor applied for a short date of
adjournment to enable him to study the
case file and assemble his witnesses.

The accused pleaded not guilty while their
counsel, Mr. Gabriel Oladimeji, prayed the
court to grant them bail, promising that
they would not jump bail.

The Chief Magistrate, Idowu Ayenimo,
consequently admitted the accused to bail
in the sum of N50,000, with one surety
each in like sum.

He thereafter adjourned the case till
November 8, 2016, for further hearing.

[Nigerians recipes ]How to make Delta State banga soup

Easy way to prepare delta state banga soup 

By Semilore Ifedolapo

Delta banga soup is best served with starch or eba. This is unlike the other banga stew that is native to the Igbos and popularly served with white boiled rice or yam.
This Banga soup is indigenous to the Deltans but
also loved and enjoyed by both People from Edo
state and all of the Niger Delta. If you are
looking to make the Igbo version please
This is not banga stew but they are both made
with similar ingredients. Banga stew is native to
the Igbos and usually served with boiled white
rice. While banga soup (as in this case) goes
with starch, eba or fufu.
The two are prepared the exact same way; the
difference is just the spices. This recipe will, in
the next few minutes shows you exactly how to
make banga soup like an itsekiri woman.
You can use any combination of meat for this
soup or just use plain red meat; I used a
combination of cow head, foot and red meat.
Ingredients | Serving: 12 Persons.
 Meat (1kg)
 Crayfish (half cup)
 Fresh prawn [oporo](one cup)
 Fresh Palm Fruits (Banga) (8 cups)
 Medium sized dry fish / smoked fish (1)
 Red scotch bonnet pepper “Ata rodo” (8)
 Ataiko (1 tbsp)
 Irugege (1 teaspoon)
 Oburunbebe Stick (Banga stick) (1)
 Dried Beletientien leaves (half cup) or
 Thinly sliced bitter leaves (half cup)
 3 cubes of knorr
 Periwinkles (1)
 Salt to taste.

These are pictures of some of the ingredients for
banga soup by the right hand side. All of these spices and ingredients
can be purchased from any Nigerian local
market. For the spices and banga stick, ask
those women that sell traditional roots and herbs
like zobo leaves and dogoyaro.
You should use crushed dried beletientien leaves,
also called atama leaf in Efik or thinly sliced
bitter leaves.
Start by grinding the spices. Add them all
together (ataiko, Irugege and a cup of crayfish),
blend to powder. Blend the pepper also. Wash
the dried or smoked fish and remove center
bones.

wash and precook the prawn, use half cup of
water, a cube of maggi and a pinch of salt.
I used already precooked meats. If your meat is
not precooked yet, do that now. Wash properly
and use two cubes of knorr and a pinch of salt.
Cook the meat until it becomes soft, easy to
chew and the water is almost dried. Add salt to
taste and allow another three minutes. Set aside.
Boil the palm fruit for 20 minutes, pound with a
mortar and pestle, transfer into a bowl, add
water and extract the juice. You will need about
7-10 cups of that palm fruit juice for this
cooking. It should be thick.
Use a sieve to strain the extract into your
cooking pot, allow to boil for 15 minutes with the
pot half-covered. It should be a lot thicker now.
Add the cleaned dried fish, ground (crayfish,
ataiko plus irugege), oburunbebe stick, precooked
meat, ground pepper and salt to taste. Cover and
allow another 10 minutes.

Add the crushed dried beletientien leaves or
thinly sliced bitter leaves, precooked prawn,
periwinkles and one cube of knorr. Stir, cover
and allow to simmer for 3 minutes. This is how
to make the popular banga soup that is loved
and made by the Deltans.
Serve with starch, eba,pupuru,Amala(white)or fufu.
