Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has said that 89 per cent of Nigerians are not truly happy, maintaining that only "four per cent could really be happy to some extent, while seven per cent might claim to be happy."

He argued that the vital aspect of human existence, which is happiness, must be addressed.

Okorocha, who recently created the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment, made the claim when officers of the Nigeria Air Force, led by the Air Officer Commanding Ground Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Sampson Akpasa, visited him at the Government House at the weekend.

Okorocha said agitations, insurgence, and hate-speech come up when people are not happy.

He said,

'' I commend the Nigeria Air Force for the good job they are doing in this country, especially their fight against insurgency and currently, what is happening in Numan and all the efforts they are making to restore peace in that area. I’m particularly proud of the Nigerian Air Force.

But one thing is certain, if you observe recently, the level of crisis and agitations are on the increase. While we fight insurgence, I would advise that we also should find the cause of this agitation.

Agitation comes up when people are not happy and the whole essence of life is to be happy. For this reason, I advice that the Air Force too, just like what I have done recently, which most people didn’t understand, should create a department for Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment.

This will help to address the need of even junior officers, who may have some forms of dissatisfaction in the discharge of their duties.

Sometimes, you may think that they are happy when they are not and this sabotages the efforts of the Federal Government, the governor counselled.

In Imo State, we have introduced the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment.

I urge the Air Force to emulate what we are doing in Imo State to let everyone have a sense of belonging,'' Okorocha added.

Jose Mourinho was involved in a dressing-room clash with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson after Manchester United's derby defeat.

The United boss is said to have had milk and water thrown at him as tempers flared following his side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, but this claim is refuted by City chiefs.

Sources claim Mourinho went to the door of the away dressing-room to ask City's players to tone down their jubilant celebrations.

City's Brazilian keeper Ederson and Mourinho are then said to have shouted at each other in Portuguese before the situation was defused.

Sources who witnessed the altercation said there was a lot of shouting and a rush of people towards the door of the away dressing-room when the episode occurred, with staff from both sides involved.

United striker Romelu Lukaku was also said to be involved in the incident, along with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro.

Up to 20 people became embroiled in the fracas which occurred in the narrow tunnel outside the away dressing-room.

A police officer is stationed outside the dressing-rooms on matchdays and it is understood police and stewards intervened to break up the melee.

The episode echoed the Battle of Buffet at Old Trafford back in 2004, when Sir Alex Ferguson was pelted with pizza following United's 2-0 win over Arsenal, which ended the Gunners' 49-match unbeaten run.

City’s win at Old Trafford meant they have extended their lead over their neighbours in the Premier League to 11 points, to leave the Red Devils’ title challenge in jeopardy.

David Silva opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola’s side in the 43rd minute, with Marcus Rashford pulling a goal back in first-half stoppage time.

Nicolas Otamendi poked home the winning goal nine minutes after the break to hand Guardiola another win over his managerial adversary.

''A new tribe can emerge. A tribe of men and women from all tribes, ethnicities and faiths; built on principles that all persons are created equal; that resources attain their greatest use when they are rendered for the benefit of all…''

'' In the womb of this ‘New Tribe’ is the greatness of Nigeria.''

KEYNOTE ADDRESS TITLED '' THE NEW TRIBE AND THE REBIRTH OF THE NATION ''DELIVERED BY VICE PRESIDENT YEMI OSINBAJO AT THE 2017 FUTURE AWARD, HELD AT THE FEDERAL PALACE HOTEL, LAGOS, ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2017.

Protocol:

There are particular moments in the history of Nations when there is a palpable feeling that something new is about to emerge; that the nation can be transformed.

Often it begins with hopelessness and cynicism. It may be that the Nation has laboured under oppressive and divisive circumstances, living with poverty, inequality, bitter ethnic and religious division, and hate.

But in the midst of poverty, corruption, ethnic and religious divisions hope begins to be built in the hearts of some, a new vision is birthed in these people.

Of the number are men and women, young, old, married, single, united by the common belief that the nation can be reborn, that a new nation can be forged from the furnace of pain and despair, that a nation of great values is possible, that the people can be united, that they can together fight corruption, reject the politics of identity and religion and unite around the values common to the attainment of dignity and fulfilment for all.

They are united in the belief that a new tribe can emerge. A tribe of men and women from all tribes, ethnicities and faiths, built on principles, that all persons are created equal, that resources attain their greatest use when they are rendered for the benefit of all, that our best talents must be applied in every task, that we must respect the rule of law and the centrality of law and order, that none will be allowed to steal or waste public resources, that we will prefer and reward excellence and merit, that Government is to create the circumstances for the happiness and prosperity of the majority, that the life of the Nigerian person is our most precious resource, that we must love our nation and love each other, and protect the weak and vulnerable.

This new tribe is one whose ethos is of hard work, whose creed is that all honest labour is dignifying, worthy of respect and reward, and that integrity is not negotiable , that our word must be our bond, that personal desires and ambitions must be moderated by faith, and consideration for others. And so from the many tribes, ethnicities and identities will arise a New People. A new Tribe.

We are at that moment in our history. And it is the historic responsibility of the new tribe to develop an understanding of who we are meant to be as a people, , to develop the capacity to define our place in human history by reaching deeply into the core of our humanity to find the purpose or reason for our existence.

Are we here to live sub-human lives in one form of deprivation or the other? aligned along parochial lines, ignoring merit and value and upholding narrow identities, permitting corruption if it is done by those of our tribe or faith?

In the womb of this New Tribe is the greatness of Nigeria. But Greatness can only come from the willingness of the few to make the sacrifices necessary for the emancipation of the many. This new tribe can build a new nation. I invite you to join the new tribe

        

Ajaelu who took to his Facebook on Sunday, December 10, to give account of his encounter with SARS officers, said he and his co-travelers were robbed by the controversial police unit along the Asaba-Benin expressway.

SARS operatives are best known for harassing, intimidating and robbing innocent Nigerians

He wrote:  I and my sports colleague travelling to Lagos for AG meeting of the Nigeria Cricket Federation was robbed by these so called SARS officers along Asaba to Benin expressway.

The CP of Edo should look into this matter and find this group of police officers who continue to disgrace the police force.

For 2hrs we were held hostage with handcuffs not minding that I identified myself as a commissioner in Imo state. Every money found on us and in our bags were taken, my wrist watch was taken, my pepper spray was taken, other valuables were taken too.

So many times during this ordeal guns were corked and we were told that they will shoot us dead and nothing will happen. Our phones were taken away from us, so that we can’t make any call, the place was so lonely and they forced us to park where their hidden car was parked.

A brown Camry written police by the two sides of it. From that point where we are, you will not see a passing car approach till it zooms past.

Ajaelu said when they were asked to go, he reminded the leader of the operatives that they had no other money on them.

According to him, the six started debating on how much they would give to them.

He continued:  After about 10 minutes one brought 3,500 out of over 40,000 they took. As we were still with the one who brought the money, another officer came with an extra 1,500 and added. We were now been forced to drive off.

Even when we noticed that oil was dropping from our car and wanted to check. They refused and told us to go to somewhere else and do the repairs.

Ajaelu wondered that if as a public officer, he is subjected to such treatment, he can only imagine what innocent citizens are made to face from the SARS operatives.

He called on the Inspector General of Police to flush out the bad eggs in the Nigeria Police Force and bring sanity to the system.

Meanwhile, former vice president Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has called for investigations into allegations of harassment leveled against the SARS unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

In a statement issued in series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, December 3, Atiku, a former Nigeria Customs Service top chief, noted that the allegations must be taken seriously by the police and the National Assembly.

While urging the two institutions to look into the allegations, he saluted Nigerian youths who started the movement on social media to raise awareness about the allegations.
