Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.000 --> 00:10.000] She said the event symbolized another bright future for the nation, where the incoming generation like Chinonso will complete the nation's march to greatness, building on foundations being laid. [00:10.000 --> 00:19.000] As all of us know, the home is the first place to start peace. They say that charity begins at home. [00:19.000 --> 00:27.000] And the Bible says that love your neighbors as yourself. So we are all neighbors to one another. We need to love one another. [00:27.000 --> 00:33.000] And especially we, the women, we should be the bridge builders and peacemakers. [00:33.000 --> 00:40.000] The First Lady also presented gifts to other newborn babies in the hostel, as well as other food items to the patients of the hospital. [00:40.000 --> 00:48.000] The FCC Secretary for Health, Dr. Ademola Onakamaya, thanked the First Lady for the gesture, describing her as a caring mother. [00:48.000 --> 00:53.000] From the Mitama District Hospital in Abuja, I am Makut Simon Macham, NTA News. [00:53.000 --> 01:08.000] More than 60 indigenous of Azula community in Ixilu local government area of Ebon State are confirmed dead following a dawn invasion of the town by unidentified gunmen. [01:08.000 --> 01:18.000] Charles Iba Molo, who accompanied Governor Martin Elechi to the scene of the incident, reports that property worth millions of naira were also destroyed. [01:18.000 --> 01:28.000] It was indeed a bleak New Year Eve for the people of Azula community, as unidentified gunmen invaded the town, [01:28.000 --> 01:32.000] had done killing, maiming and destroying our valuables at sight. [01:32.000 --> 01:38.000] At the time of filing this report, relatives of some of those killed in the bush were still searching for their corpses. [01:38.000 --> 01:46.000] Kotosana on our words, and even before the government said we should submit everything that we had, so we were left with nothing. [01:46.000 --> 01:52.000] We thought that it is just an unusual gun that the mobile police used to shoot. [01:55.000 --> 02:05.000] The Boise State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeola Adelechi, who accompanied the Governor to the scene, said everything possible was being done to bring the situation under control, [02:05.000 --> 02:15.000] adding that the Inspector General of Police has directed the movement of three mobile police units from Akwaibum, Cross River and River State to the area. [02:15.000 --> 02:21.000] I am running short of one. I must say, the decision was affected. [02:21.000 --> 02:27.000] He was killed on his way to the station and has been taken to the mansion. [02:27.000 --> 02:29.000] It is very shocking. [02:29.000 --> 02:37.000] Governor Martin Elechi, who spoke in his native dialect, was shocked beyond words at the number of casualties and level of destruction. [02:37.000 --> 02:49.000] He pleaded with the people of Ezilor to remain calm. The people of Ezilor have for two years now been at loggerheads with their Ezilor brothers as a result of protracted land disputes. [02:49.000 --> 02:53.000] From Ezilor, Charles Ibuamalon, NTN News. [02:53.000 --> 03:17.000] Elder statesman and former Second Republic presidential advisor, Alaji Tanku-Yegasai, has appealed to Boko Haram members to embrace dialogue. Speaking in Abuja, Alaji Tanku-Yegasai enjoined Nigerians to continue to trust in God and the leadership as current security challenges facing the nation will be overcome. [03:17.000 --> 03:25.000] So I have seen Boko Haram. I have seen all the things. I have seen Niger delta restiveness. [03:25.000 --> 03:33.000] And we put all these things behind us. And I am sure by the grace of God, we will be able to put this problem behind us. [03:33.000 --> 03:40.000] But I appeal to all Nigerians to help in finding a solution to the problem. [03:40.000 --> 03:51.000] I am not happy with what I heard that people are thinking of taking those into their hands by saying that they will defend themselves. [03:51.000 --> 03:56.000] To not be a good idea. Allow the government to do its job. [03:56.000 --> 04:04.000] The former Second Republic presidential advisor asked Nigerians to unite and embrace peace. [04:04.000 --> 04:14.000] And now sports. The countdown for the London 2012 Olympics has been unveiled by the Nigerian Olympic Committee, NOC, in Lagos. [04:14.000 --> 04:32.000] Paul Agassi was at the ceremony and now reports. [04:32.000 --> 04:41.000] The NOC president, Sunny Ndanusa, alongside the oba of Lagos, Obariwa Akulu, at the event stressed the importance of private sector participation in sports. [04:41.000 --> 04:44.000] This is to reduce the load on the government. [04:44.000 --> 04:51.000] The countdown clock, which was programmed in minutes, will take to the opening ceremony in London come July 27 this year. [04:51.000 --> 04:58.000] There have not been strategic private sector participation in sports that we are coming with. [04:58.000 --> 05:02.000] We are looking for development and this country wants everybody to be happy. [05:02.000 --> 05:09.000] We should try and cooperate with the chosen number one head of this country. [05:09.000 --> 05:14.000] Some sports analysts have been commenting on the way forward for sports in 2012. [05:14.000 --> 05:19.000] You have to set a realistic target for sportsmen. If you achieve this, this is where you start again. [05:19.000 --> 05:31.000] For us to at least have a semblance of what others have done, the preparation they have done, to start. Go straight into the toilet talk. [05:31.000 --> 05:40.000] The monitoring coaches have always concentrated their efforts in Lagos and Abuja. And to me Lagos and Abuja does not make up Nigeria. [05:40.000 --> 05:47.000] With early camping and proper grooming, Nigerian athletes, they say, will excel at international competitions. [05:47.000 --> 05:52.000] That's sports orbit. Paul Ogaji, 88 News. [05:52.000 --> 06:01.000] And that's the news bit. This line returns very shortly and this is wishing you a prosperous 2012. [06:01.000 --> 06:18.000] Hello, is anybody here? Seriously, what's going on? [06:18.000 --> 06:20.000] Everyone has taken on the line to become a millionaire. [06:20.000 --> 06:23.000] Millionaire? By talking on the phone?

[06:28.000 --> 06:35.000] If you answer any call from any network, every minute you spend talking on your glow scene gives you another chance of becoming a millionaire. [06:35.000 --> 06:41.000] And if you call anyone on glow from your glow line at the wing, you also win. [06:41.000 --> 06:48.000] Really? Well, in that case, get my number guys. Call me. [06:48.000 --> 06:52.000] Get talking with your friends on glow and become a millionaire in minutes. [06:52.000 --> 06:58.000] You want to be a millionaire? Call now.

[08:09.000 --> 08:16.000] All day, we expect our mouth to do all kinds of things. That is why it needs all-round protection. [08:16.000 --> 08:22.000] Its advanced antibacterial fluoride protects you from holes and plaque. [08:22.000 --> 08:30.000] It strengthens your teeth, keeps your brain sparkling fresh and gives you all-round protection because your mouth is doing more than you think. [08:30.000 --> 08:37.000] New Ora Deep will have all-round protection for your mouth. [08:37.000 --> 08:59.000] Every day, around Africa and beyond, there are stars that shine our light, telling the stories closest to our hearts. [08:59.000 --> 09:11.000] Sometimes, they bring tears to our eyes. Sometimes, smiles to our hearts. But all the time, they fly our flag highest. [09:11.000 --> 09:18.000] Nigeria in the Movies. Because movies matter. [09:18.000 --> 09:24.000] The Nigeria in the Movies project is a development initiative of the National Film and Video Senses Board. [09:24.000 --> 09:33.000] Life is unpredictable. But in my trusty van, I am ready to face whatever these mean streets can throw at me. [09:33.000 --> 09:38.000] Sometimes, I get thrown a bit off course. But I know there's always a way back. [09:38.000 --> 09:49.000] And some days, the city sends me a challenge even I can't face on my own. [09:49.000 --> 09:55.000] And that's when I need Leadway. Leadway Assurance. Efficient and reliable. [10:20.000 --> 10:28.000] And now, with the highest marks ever awarded in this college, for a first-class degree, Fumi Adebayek. [10:28.000 --> 10:35.000] At 8, Fumi won her first science prize. [10:35.000 --> 10:40.000] At 10, she wanted to be a chemist. [10:40.000 --> 10:44.000] At 15, an engineer. [10:44.000 --> 10:49.000] At 17, she was accepted into a prestigious university. [10:49.000 --> 10:55.000] Followed by tragedy. Her father died. [10:55.000 --> 11:01.000] But yet, at 21, she still graduated, top of her class. [11:01.000 --> 11:11.000] Choose life. Make a plan for the ones you love. And keep the music playing, long after you're gone. [11:11.000 --> 11:15.000] Fumi Adebayek. The city is sure for life and living. [11:41.000 --> 11:47.000] And now, the lucky baby with gifts. Musatoliats went there to see things for himself. [11:47.000 --> 11:50.000] And here is what he has to tell us. [11:57.000 --> 12:04.000] The cries of the newborn baby today, the first day of 2012, symbolizing an endless joy for the parents. [12:04.000 --> 12:12.000] For Mrs. Gladys Ghanem, the proud mother of the first baby of the year, words alone could not express her happiness. [12:12.000 --> 12:20.000] I'm very happy for all the nurse and the doctor of whom they don't know me, and I'm very grateful. [12:20.000 --> 12:25.000] She had the female baby at 12, to get him at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital. [12:25.000 --> 12:27.000] The baby weighs 2.9 kg. [12:27.000 --> 12:33.000] To demonstrate his commitment, aimed at providing comfort solutions and maintaining its leadership position in the industry, [12:33.000 --> 12:40.000] Vantafome was on hand to donate a wide range of childcare products to the baby to the delight of the fortunate couple. [12:40.000 --> 12:42.000] I didn't believe the first time. [12:42.000 --> 12:48.000] So, today told me, told me before, and it come true. Thank you for Vantafome. [12:48.000 --> 12:54.000] Vantafome also spread its kind gesture to the parents of the second and third babies of the year. [12:54.000 --> 13:00.000] As a company, we are number one in our industry. I want to maintain that leadership position. [13:00.000 --> 13:05.000] So they are related in a way. First company, first baby, first day of the year. [13:05.000 --> 13:12.000] We do the caring part and we need every support that we can get from any other organization to help make our work easier. [13:12.000 --> 13:16.000] Having taken care of the needs of the new entrants into the world, [13:16.000 --> 13:22.000] it was time for our standing staff of the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital to be rewarded by Vantafome Nigeria PLC. [13:22.000 --> 13:37.000] The father of the celebrated baby, David Ekanem, also received a baby coat and missed from an entertainment. [13:37.000 --> 13:44.000] Life may not be a bed of roses, but all the same we say welcome to our world and to an event. [13:44.000 --> 13:53.000] The 20th UPPO, or Fala Festival, has been hosted by His Royal Highness Ibn Robert Eze Okofia VI. [13:53.000 --> 13:59.000] The festival, which took place in Anambra State, was thrilling with the cultural grandeur of the people. [13:59.000 --> 14:03.000] Abdullahi Garba Berenikudu now reports. [14:03.000 --> 14:10.000] The highly reverend Junukofia Palace of UPPO witnessed a galaxy of masquerades and dances, [14:10.000 --> 14:20.000] a mix of joy and pleasantries traditional to the people, [14:20.000 --> 14:28.000] with which the aura built around Igwe Robert Eze Okofia VI is to no mean one. [14:28.000 --> 14:36.000] Every year that Igwe gives to its ancestors, he equally bestows titles and awards on Wosi and illustrious men and women [14:36.000 --> 14:41.000] who have contributed so much to develop the community and build on human resources. [14:41.000 --> 14:44.000] And he said that much in his address presented. [14:44.000 --> 14:50.000] The loyalty and the cooperation of my people is a source of joy and inspiration to me. [14:50.000 --> 14:55.000] The Eze is very proud of his brother, Prince Arthur Efechukwu Eze, [14:55.000 --> 15:00.000] a well-known industrialist and investor with worldwide successful business activities, [15:00.000 --> 15:07.000] which had him to foray into Sierra Leone's oil industry through his oriental petroleum in 1991, [15:07.000 --> 15:10.000] when life was rough for that country. [15:10.000 --> 15:21.000] Prince Arthur Eze is humility, love, and this is a person that we know and we adore in Sierra Leone. [15:21.000 --> 15:25.000] The prince also brought his friends from across the country. [15:25.000 --> 15:31.000] The Emir of Latvia, Isa Mustafa Agwe II, Governor Peter Obe, and Rochas Okorotcha, [15:31.000 --> 15:37.000] another top politician, civil servants, and a cross-section of the society, because he commends the poor. [15:37.000 --> 15:41.000] On Christmas Day, at the St. Mary's Anglican Church, also in Opu, [15:41.000 --> 15:45.000] Prince Arthur Eze led the royal family for a special thanksgiving. [15:45.000 --> 15:50.000] Venerable Solomon Chidoka preached the gospel with a quotation associated with the prince, [15:50.000 --> 15:55.000] that no one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. [15:55.000 --> 16:02.000] If you cannot lessen the burden of others, if you cannot remove the problem of power, [16:02.000 --> 16:08.000] eliminate the problems of humanity, then you are useless in this society. [16:08.000 --> 16:13.000] Unbeholding the style of the prince, he donated 50 million naira towards the rehabilitation [16:13.000 --> 16:18.000] and completion of two buildings for St. Mary's Modern Nazarian Primary School. [16:18.000 --> 16:21.000] The Lord Bishop of Okah Diocese of Anglican Communion, [16:21.000 --> 16:28.000] Rt. Rev. Alexander Ibazin, came to bless the new organ, also donated to enhance spiritually. [16:28.000 --> 16:35.000] I want to help the church to grow through church, that will have the fear of God. [16:35.000 --> 16:38.000] The more we build the church, the more we build ourselves, [16:38.000 --> 16:50.000] so we can live in peace with the human being, so we can have peace, have love. [16:50.000 --> 16:53.000] Touching lives at Opu, Anambra State. [16:53.000 --> 16:57.000] Sons and daughters of Okori Kingdom, Eleme in River State, [16:57.000 --> 17:03.000] rolled out the drums in celebration of an empowerment initiative by their paramount ruler. [17:03.000 --> 17:09.000] The event was the launch of the Apollo's True Foundation, which aims to better the lot of the unemployed [17:09.000 --> 17:12.000] and underprivileged in the community. [17:12.000 --> 17:17.000] Launched by the King of Eleme, One'e Eleme Defense. [17:17.000 --> 17:27.000] It was also an opportunity to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the people. [17:27.000 --> 17:31.000] Celebration is part of the Okori Eleme end of year activities. [17:31.000 --> 17:37.000] This year's event is a special one, as the paramount ruler, His Royal Highness, Apollo's True, [17:37.000 --> 17:39.000] formally launched his foundation. [17:39.000 --> 17:45.000] With the launch, youths and widows received equipment that would aid them in their various vacations. [17:45.000 --> 17:49.000] Apart from providing sponsorship for those interested in computer training, [17:49.000 --> 17:56.000] motorcycles, a bus, money and other items were presented to deserving members of the community. [17:56.000 --> 18:02.000] We are also almost behind time in terms of education and other skill levels and the like. [18:02.000 --> 18:07.000] And that's why now this foundation tries to program our people and educate our people [18:07.000 --> 18:11.000] and also package our people for future opportunities. [18:11.000 --> 18:15.000] So when opportunities come for the numerous companies in our land here, [18:15.000 --> 18:28.000] they can easily be who miss that opportunity. [18:28.000 --> 18:31.000] Look at this man, how he renovated this. [18:31.000 --> 18:34.000] He has constructed a bridge for his people. [18:34.000 --> 18:36.000] He has provided water for his people. [18:36.000 --> 18:38.000] He has done a lot for his people. [18:38.000 --> 18:40.000] He has also provided light. [18:40.000 --> 18:43.000] The beneficiaries reacted with so much appreciation. [18:43.000 --> 18:50.000] The chief has employed over 200 of the elements, working directly in his company and some other companies. [18:50.000 --> 18:54.000] Cultural displays by the Dede Dede Masquerade, the Nkwete Cultural Group, [18:54.000 --> 19:16.000] and the Okori Community Women added color to the event. [19:16.000 --> 19:18.000] Still on celebrations. [19:18.000 --> 19:24.000] The city of Niwi, the commercial nerve center of Anambra State, led host to prominent Nigerians [19:24.000 --> 19:30.000] who came to pay homage to the traditional ruler of the town, Igwekennet Urizo III, [19:30.000 --> 19:34.000] on the occasion of the 48th Ofala Festival. [19:34.000 --> 19:44.000] Joy Toniamako captured the highlights for your viewing pleasure in this report. [19:44.000 --> 19:49.000] The 48th Ofala Festival of the traditional ruler of Niwi, Igwekennet Urizo III, [19:49.000 --> 19:54.000] one of the oldest monarchs and grand patron, traditional rulers in Anambra State, [19:54.000 --> 19:59.000] was a celebration of the culture of the people of Niwi, which reflected the bond between them [19:59.000 --> 20:02.000] and renewed hope for peace and prosperity in the kingdom. [20:02.000 --> 20:09.000] The festival was unique as indigents of the town joined by friends and well-wishers paid homage, [20:09.000 --> 20:13.000] a prominent feature of the events to the Igwe who has reigned for 48 years. [20:13.000 --> 20:23.000] It's a symbol of humility, integrity, very humble and very truthful. [20:23.000 --> 20:30.000] 48th Ofala Festival for one Igwe is a lifetime achievement. [20:30.000 --> 20:38.000] I am glad that Igwe has lived such a long time and that is why he has been able to govern Niwi very well. [20:38.000 --> 20:43.000] At the peak of the occasion, a traditional trumpeter announced the public appearance of the Igwe [20:43.000 --> 20:48.000] in his royal regalia and decorated crown accompanied by members of his cabinet, [20:48.000 --> 20:52.000] after which he addressed the Augusta Assembly in the native dialects. [20:52.000 --> 20:55.000] This is our heritage. We have no other place than here. [20:55.000 --> 20:58.000] And this is the heart of Anambra State. [20:58.000 --> 21:04.000] Today is a symbol of unity of the great town of Niwi. [21:04.000 --> 21:11.000] Niwi is a peaceful land. I want all the cabinet members and everybody in Niwi [21:11.000 --> 21:14.000] to put their hand to maintain that existing peace in Niwi. [21:14.000 --> 21:20.000] Highlight of the occasion was the award of honorary chieftain's titles to some illustrious sons of the town [21:20.000 --> 21:25.000] and display of the rich Igbo cultural heritage in a carnival-like procession [21:25.000 --> 21:28.000] by the 51 wards that make the ancient town. [21:28.000 --> 21:35.000] Wow. Memories to behold there. Congratulations. [21:35.000 --> 21:41.000] And for the people of Katungo in Kumbi State, the end of the year is a time for collective stock-taking [21:41.000 --> 21:43.000] and planning for the year ahead. [21:43.000 --> 21:47.000] One of the activities they undertake is a cultural festival [21:47.000 --> 21:50.000] with the aim of strengthening their bonds as a people. [21:50.000 --> 21:58.000] Let's see how they celebrated their festival to mark the end of 2011. [21:58.000 --> 22:05.000] The Katungo Cultural Festival is an end-of-year event showcasing unity of the multi-ethnic people [22:05.000 --> 22:08.000] living in harmony for centuries. [22:11.000 --> 22:15.000] It is the initiative of the traditional ruler of the chiefdom [22:15.000 --> 22:21.000] located in southern Kumbi State four years ago organizing the Unity Forum [22:21.000 --> 22:28.000] where they all will remember the past and the young understand values of respect, love and harmony. [22:28.000 --> 22:35.000] I decided that this year we should come together to display our different cultures [22:35.000 --> 22:41.000] so that we will bring unity on the different fronts within the city. [22:41.000 --> 22:45.000] Authorities at the festival say the theme of the ceremony, [22:45.000 --> 22:50.000] culture and instrument of peace and national unity, is very relevant. [22:50.000 --> 22:55.000] I want to first and foremost commend and thank the Mayor of Katungo [22:55.000 --> 23:03.000] for this initiative of establishing a system whereby we not only maintain our cultures and traditions [23:03.000 --> 23:05.000] but we also promote them. [23:05.000 --> 23:10.000] If we have culture, very strong culture, people will be disciplined. [23:10.000 --> 23:12.000] People will understand. [23:12.000 --> 23:19.000] We must continue in programs such as this to promote not just the aspect of our individual histories [23:19.000 --> 23:24.000] but the similarities in our cultures and to look at the unifying elements of the religions that we follow. [23:24.000 --> 23:28.000] The dances are a prelude to annual meeting and unity prayer [23:28.000 --> 23:31.000] for prospects and problems of the chiefdom in the Goni year [23:31.000 --> 23:42.000] as well as preparing ahead for the better.

[24:54.000 --> 24:58.000] And we'll continue to do so because the brand equity is very strong here [24:58.000 --> 25:02.000] and also the festival is so well organized and so colorful. [25:02.000 --> 25:07.000] Basic food needs of the country is being identified in Dangote and that's what we stand for. [25:07.000 --> 25:10.000] Thank you for supporting me in the carnival.
