<b>A passenger flight turned into a boxing ring after some passengers told a woman to ‘shut her baby up’.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The brawl broke out on an Air China flight from Chongqing to Hong Kong on Thursday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two passengers reportedly became irate after being woken up by a crying baby mid-flight, and complained to 27-year-old mother Chan Juan Sung.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Witnesses said things escalated when the two disgruntled passengers fully reclined their seats to intentionally discomfort the mother, before the disagreement turned into a punch-up and air stewards had to intervene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fellow traveller Xiong Wan, who witnessed the fight, said: ‘[The mother] started shouting back at them, and before I knew what was happening she leaned over the seat, and punched one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘They then started hitting her and all hell broke loose.’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a classic dad move, the pilot reportedly threatened to turn the plane around or even make an emergency landing if the women wouldn’t stop fighting. However staff were able to separate the brawlers and the flight continued to Hong Kong, where police were waiting to question the women involved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An Air China spokesperson said: ‘Passengers cannot behave like this.’</div>

Buhari Catches Anti-Graft Mood But Divides Nigerian Voters - By Tim Cocks

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Tim Cocks, Reuters</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LAGOS (Reuters) - "I am not a rich person, I can't give you a pocketful of dollars or naira to purchase your support," Nigeria's former military leader Muhammadu Buhari wrote to opposition delegates last week before they chose him to contest next year's presidential election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I want a Nigeria ... where corruption no longer trespasses into our institutions and national behaviour."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His words struck a chord with Nigerians fed up with leaders filling their pockets. They also highlight his main selling point: during his previous stint in power from 1983-85 he is widely believed to have kept his fingers out of the till.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari faces President Goodluck Jonathan in a Feb. 14 election in Africa's biggest economy that analysts think may be too close to call.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graft scandals, most recently a claim by a former central bank governor that between $10 billion and $20 billion owed to state coffers by the national oil company were not remitted, have fuelled public anger. The government has promised an audit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari has growing appeal among an intellectual class in whose minds he has taken on almost messianic qualities as the man who can save Nigeria. Others remember less celebrated bits of his past -- like crackdowns on press freedom and detaining political opponents without charge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Either way, he will also prove a divisive figure in a vote in which ethnic and religious sentiments remain paramount.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"People love him or they hate him. There's no middle ground," said Kayode Akindele, CEO of consultancy 46 Parallels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ASCETIC</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His image as a sandal-wearing ascetic has appeal in a nation where power and champagne-swigging wealth often go hand in hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He doesn't love money. He doesn't care about making money. This is what Nigeria needs of a leader," said Haruna Mohammed Yogara, an opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) official who voted for Buhari to represent the party in the primaries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time, the government's failure to quell an Islamist insurgency in the northeast has heightened the general's appeal as a military strongman, a type Nigerians were pretty sick of when democracy returned in 1999 after decades of army rule.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari's message is simple: Nigeria's two biggest ills are corruption and insecurity, and he cracked down on both in 1983.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He's been tested on both issues before and he passed," APC Senator Babafemi Ojudu told Reuters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, as now, Nigeria faced economic turmoil from collapsing oil prices. Then president Shehu Shagari was accused of wasting money on corruption -- much as this government has been dogged with oil corruption scandals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Insecurity, from militia in neighbouring Chad, threatened Nigeria's remote northeast, just as Boko Haram does today. Buhari, as army commander under Shagari, drove the Chadian fighters out of Nigeria, even invading Chad to secure a buffer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He beat them black and blue and chased them into Chad Republic. He can do it again (with Boko Haram)," Ojudu said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After deposing Shagari he began a "war against indiscipline" to weed out corruption, armed robbery and drug trafficking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Immediately after its coup (the new government) closed all borders and arrested ... 475 politicians and businessmen for corruption," writes Max Siollun in his 2013 book <i>Soldiers of Fortune.</i> "Rooms stacked with illicit cash" were discovered in politicians' houses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>"CAN HE PULL IT OFF?"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even those willing to overlook his autocratic past might question whether he can keep his promises. Corruption is so entrenched that dismantling it could take generations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"People love the anti-corruption, but if they dig a bit deeper: what does it actually mean? And can he pull it off?" said Akindele, adding that it could mean turning on some of his top backers in the APC, which he is unlikely to be able to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Power in democratic Nigeria depends on patronage networks, and feeding them is essential if a politician wants to keep it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Promises to restore security after a brutal five-year insurgency by Boko Haram also might be easier to make than keep, with the Islamist group demonstrating remarkable resilience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But sources in both parties say more prosaic factors may influence voting. Buhari, a Muslim northerner, will do better in the north, where he's hugely popular. Jonathan will sweep much of the overwhelmingly Christian south and southeast -- his home oil producing Niger Delta region and areas around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christians in the religiously-mixed "Middle Belt" will vote Jonathan; their Muslim neighbours, Buhari.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Much will depend on whether the 50-50 split Christian-Muslim Yoruba southwest, including Nigeria' biggest city Lagos, votes for Jonathan. It did last time, but since then southwestern elites have turned against him. Buhari's party power base is now in Lagos -- last year it was seen as largely a northern party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Last year people were frustrated the alliance fell apart so voted for Jonathan out of protest," Ojudu said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"That won't happen again."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Muhammadu Buhari celebrated his 72nd birthday yesterday and the septugenarian was surrounded by close family and friends, especially his wife, Aishat. The presidential candidate for the APC party for the Nigerian 2015 elections also shared a birthday address to Nigerian youths, in which he talked about unemployment and poverty, among many other things.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below is full text of his birthday address.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Let me begin by expressing my profound gratitude to God, who has given me long life and good health, and for sustaining my passion and commitment to continue to serve our dear country, Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Usually, reaching another milestone in life is a cause for celebration. And while I appreciate the opportunity to engage with young people who are the future leaders of our country, I cannot pretend to be as happy as I ought to be. Nevertheless, we shall not allow the challenges confronting Nigeria to lead us to despair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. I have never wavered from my desire to contribute to a better Nigeria, even in the face of the most daunting challenges: The true mark of character is for one to believe in a good cause, and to have the courage and conviction to fight for that good cause regardless of all obstacles and challenges.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Every time I meet and interact with young Nigerians from every part of the country, I am struck by your vitality, confidence, intelligence, creativity and vision. These are the ingredients needed to forge a great country. The only missing component is visionary leadership that would channel your energies and resourcefulness into cohesive social and economic mechanisms to develop Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Hopefully, I shall provide you with all the support that you require, and also create and sustain the enabling environment you need to unleash your potentials not only in Nigeria, but across the world. Nothing gladdens my heart more than stories of young Nigerians demonstrating their intellectual and creative talents and skills on the global stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. When I said, “This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together”, I had no idea that 30 years and a lost generation later, we will still be facing the same sets of problems: corruption, insecurity of lives and property, decaying infrastructure, dilapidated public institutions, crushing poverty and underdevelopment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. But these problems are self-inflicted and can be solved. Be assured that our dreams for a better Nigeria might have been temporarily halted, but our resolve has never wavered. We must get our acts together and salvage our country. It will be criminal to waste the exciting potentials I see in you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Let me tell you a short story:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. As a young army officer many years ago, I could afford to save and buy a brand new car from my earnings. Fresh university graduates got jobs before they left school and opportunities were everywhere. Today, as a retired army general, former state governor, petroleum minister and head of state, I can hardly afford that luxury.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. Similarly, if I hadn’t built my house at the time I built it, I probably would not own a house today; indeed, if I were to graduate today I would most likely join the ranks of the 40 million Nigerian youth who have no jobs and very little prospects of finding any, under the current government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. Nothing pains me like seeing young Nigerians who left school up to 10 years ago still living with their parents or living rough with friends or relatives simply because they can not find jobs. Unfortunately, our system has no social safety net of any sort to support those that need help. Nothing crushes the human spirit more than poverty, powerlessness and hopelessness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
12. However, I believe that with prudent management, Nigeria has the resources to meet the needs of all citizens. We will see to a Nigeria where lives and property are safe; schools are world class, health services are available and affordable and where every Nigerian feels proud and wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
13. Our government shall be about jobs, jobs and more jobs for our youth. To this end, We will implement strategies to immediately engage as many unemployed Nigerians as possible in quick-win schemes, while we fashion out long-term programmes to make unemployment history in Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
14. Our poverty alleviation and job creation approach will not be about giving handouts to a few thousand people when we have a staggering 40 million to cater for. The current method not only lacks originality but is not sustainable. We shall stimulate all sectors of the economy to create entrepreneurs and real wealth for all Nigerians, not just a select few.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15. Nigeria has no business with poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment. An APC government will therefore ensure that our commonwealth is used to develop our country for the benefit of all Nigerians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
16. What is at stake is the future of Nigeria. The struggle is for the millions of Nigerians who have been driven from their homes by terrorists;it is about the tens of millions of Nigerians who have no jobs, no sense of security and no hope for a better future; it about putting Nigeria first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
17. The need for change is imperative. The future of Nigeria is about your future. The big question is: Do we have the courage to vote for change? Are you ready to join me in securing our country and our future?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
18. If you are, then go about and spread the message of change. Convince your families and friends to register and ensure that they vote correct in the upcoming elections. That way, we shall begin a new journey together – a journey to banish poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment from Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
19. Thank you all for your birthday wishes and your prayers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
20. God bless you all. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The husband of a mother of four who has the mind of a child has been banned from having sex with her by a High Court judge because she does not know she has the right to refuse.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Bangladeshi man claims he has the right under his culture to have sex with her whenever he pleases and she has no right to refuse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has already taken his wife's cousin as a second "wife" and had two children with her, but still demands the right to have sex with the woman he married first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Family Division judge Mr Justice Mostyn refused in a judgment, but ordered anonymity in the case to protect the identity of the wife and children. He said:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The evidence clearly shows that TB has barely an inkling of the health risks involved. She was unable to link sex to pregnancy. Indeed she had virtually no idea how her babies came to be in her tummy (as she put it). Although she found sex enjoyable and comfortable she had no idea that she had a choice and could refuse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Indeed the attitude of SA, based, as he told me on his culture and religion, was that he had a right to seek sex from her and that it was her duty to submit."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, with a mental age of between four and eight, the 39-year old wife - identified only by the initials TB - has been taken into care under the Mental Health Act by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, where the family lived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All their four children have also been taken into care because the woman does not have the ability to care for them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the husband - known as SA and married to her for 18 years - wanted her back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The judge said efforts to enlighten TB about sex, her rights, and the risks involved had failed. He added:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It is doubtful that TB has ever had the capacity to decide to have sex, notwithstanding that she has had four children."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The couple had a "volatile" relationship and there were instances of domestic violence when the husband lost his temper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the deportees included women, children and whole families. They arrived at the Cargo Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, aboard cargo airline - Privilege Gourmet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A deportee, Mr Isaac Ejiofor, told NAN that he had no criminal records in Finland and wondered why he was deported after spending over one year in the asylum camp. Ejiofor said he was earlier in Greece but later travelled to Finland to seek asylum in a bid to get a permit to work there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A policeman asked me what I want since I did not have any criminal record to warrant my deportation. I said I wanted to work and live a normal life in Finland, so he (policeman) told me to seek asylum and I did that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was taken to the asylum camp and was there for more than a year processing my work documents. There were other African nationals there with four Nigerians. Suddenly, we, the Nigerians were brought out and deported without any reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The Nigerian Embassy in Finland refused to come to my aid, even after I paid 1,500 euros to embassy officials", he alleged. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another deportee, who wanted to be identified as Jackso, alleged that officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Finland colluded with some Finnish immigration officers to extort money from asylum seekers in the camp. Jackso said that the embassy officials promised to assist them to get work permits from the Finnish authority.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A female deportee, simply called Esther, said that she and her husband had been in Finland for over 14 years and was surprised that they were deported without committing any offense. Esther said she was deported along with her husband and seven-year old daughter without any compensation. She said that other Africans in the camp were given an opportunity to stay and work in Finland, but that the Finnish authorities were hostile to Nigerians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She appealed to the Federal Government to come to their aid, particularly Nigerians in Finland and other European countries. She said most Nigerians in asylum in Finland came from other parts of Europe like Greece, Denmark, Sweden and Norway in order to acquire work documents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NAN reports that of the deportees, three men were arrested for violence and were taken to the MMIA Police Station. Some others were arrested on arrival by the police for travel offenses and taken by a sheriff bus to the Criminal Investigation Department, Nigerian Police Force, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos.</div>
