The study of Religion encompasses the scientific study of the major world religions in context. Focused on the African continent, it engages the study of religious phenomena in terms of the significance of their historical, ritual, moral, organizational and belief systems. Contextually, the discipline engages a wide range of fields, as Religion intersects and engages with Development Studies, Politics, Economics, Human Rights, and Health and Environmental Studies amongst others.
The major in Religion has 4 compulsory modules out of 8, and electives as co-requisites at the same level. The compulsory module and elective at level 1 are pre-requisites for level 2, and the compulsory module and elective at level 2 are pre-requisites for entry into level 3. These are in line with the basic format of the BA major at UKZN.

The MPCA is now a Guinness World Records title holder, having successfully set a record for the largest paper ball.
The company has proposed two projects at its refinery in Rosemount — a natural-gas based, combined heat and power cogeneration facility and a clean fuels project.
The proposed system will use natural gas as primary fuel, and will replace two coal fired boilers.
Twenty years ago, there were more than 100 closed, state-permitted landfills across the state that had accepted garbage, and many of them were contaminating drinking water and generating explosive methane gas.
It is estimated that we toss more than 350,000 tons of salt on the metro area roads, parking lots and sidewalks annually.
AQI levels will be in the upper moderate range, with hourly AQI readings reaching levels considered unhealthy for sensitive groups at times.
In addition to correcting the identified violations, the company has paid a $25,000 penalty.


The Medical College Admission Test, also known as the MCAT, is a very intimidating entry exam for prospective medical students. In addition to evaluating a prospective student's prior knowledge of the very complex and nuanced field of medicine, this test has the secondary purpose of attempting to predict a student's success in medical school. For these reasons, a great deal of pressure is on MCAT takers to succeed, with their future seemingly hanging in the balance.
Because the MCAT is so intimidating, the vast majority of aspiring medical students will enroll in a comprehensive test prep program that will help them prepare for the exam. The best MCAT prep courses are rigorously paced and geared toward covering material found on the exam and the best MCAT study materials are intended to function as a training tool to help students acclimate to the testing environment.
Since these courses are very expensive and time-consuming, it's preferable to avoid retaking courses due to an inability to pass the MCAT on one's first try. The substantial time and money cost associated with retaking has driven students to be very selective as to which prep course they want to enroll in, since a better course will increase their chances of passing. For the benefit of these students, this article will compare the study materials, costs, and specific strengths of the two most popular MCAT prep courses: Kaplan MCAT and The Princeton Review MCAT.
The Princeton Review is a highly prestigious educational organization that provides comprehensive tutoring resources for a variety of difficult tests. These mainly involve college entry exams such as the ACT, SAT, LSAT, and MCAT. For Princeton Review's MCAT prep course, qualified professional tutors cover all 6 subjects of the exam with a multifaceted curriculum.
One of the most significant benefits to choosing Princeton Review over other MCAT prep courses is the quantity and quality of instructors dedicated to teaching their curriculum. Even on the lowest priced program, 4 to 6 instructors are available with each covering a different section of the exam. These instructors are experts in their field and are chosen for their ability to provide a specialist's knowledge in a particular subject.
Other than the Princeton Review live online course, all other MCAT prep courses offered by this company feature a significant amount of classroom time. The most popular course, known as the Princeton Review MCAT Strategy, involves 44 hours of classroom time: an amount much higher than its competitor Kaplan. They also offer a much larger Ultimate course that has nearly triple the amount of classroom time at roughly 123 hours.
For prospective students who are skeptical of the Princeton Review's MCAT prep programs, they offer many free resources to help them try some of them before making a monetary commitment. These include practice tests covering different aspects of the exam and can involve local strategy sessions and classes, depending on if there are any being offered near the student.
While the materials offered by the Princeton Review are of a very high quality, they come at an equally high price. The least expensive package, referred to as a self-paced study course, comes with a staggering price tag of close to $2,000. The standard Strategy course costs around $2,300, the Ultimate course costs around $2,800, and their six week Summer Boot Camp costs almost $7,000. However, all of these prices pale in comparison to the astronomical $11,000 needed to enroll in their 60-hour Private Tutoring program.
Similar to The Princeton Review, Kaplan is an organization with the goal of providing education to individuals in a variety of fields. In addition to MCAT test prep, Kaplan offers educational programs for the LSAT, PCAT, DAT, and GMAT. For individuals studying for the MCAT, there are multiple tiers of educational programs available ranging from online courses to in-person lectures and private tutoring sessions.
The main advantage Kaplan offers over many other MCAT programs is the lower cost and higher versatility offered by its tutoring program. Students interested in booking a private tutor session can choose from one of three tiered packages with prices based on the amount of study time. These sessions can also be scheduled either in-person or online based on the student's preference.
Whether a student takes the Kaplan MCAT Live Online Course, an In Person course, or a one-on-one tutoring session, they are still given access to Kaplan's MCAT Complete 7-Book Subject Review. Along with several practice tests and video lectures, this package contains over 10,000 practice questions.
With only a finite amount of time on a student's hands to prepare for the MCAT, many will prioritize quality of study material over quantity. Despite offering a significantly higher amount of practice questions to other test prep courses, Kaplan has received complaints from some students as to the quality of these questions and other materials. For this reason, students with less time on their hands would be better off finding a different study program.
This MCAT study program is priced extremely high for a reason. With the robust staff of experts available to assist students with every facet of the exam, Princeton Review offers the best MCAT prep courses hands down. While emphasizing quality over quality, their study programs still offer enough material to ensure that students have a solid grasp of the material on the exam. Furthermore, they even offer trial sessions for prospective students who are intimidated by their higher prices. For these reasons, it is recommended that students pick The Princeton Review over Kaplan for their MCAT test prep needs.

For the longest time, Western Australia's surprisingly cosmopolitan capital was best known for its picture-perfect beaches, Mediterranean climate, laid-back lifestyle, and sheer remoteness. But riding the wave of a recently booming economy, the city now offers plenty more besides. Welcome to the new Perth.
The founding father of Western Australia, Captain James Stirling, once pronounced Perth to be the worst place to start a colony. Soon after, Karl Marx in Das Kapital described the far-flung outpost as an object lesson in how not to establish an overseas settlement.
Certainly, Perth's first 20 to 30 years of existence were plagued with hardship. The soil along the Swan River was largely sandy and infertile, so food was difficult to grow. Founded in 1829 as a free settlement rather than a penal colony (a status that would change out of necessity in 1849), there were no convicts and thus nobody to do the backbreaking labor of building basic infrastructure that other Australian cities like Sydney had benefitted from. Adding to the list of woes were disease and discord (to put it lightly) between British settlers and the indigenous Noongar people. In fact, those early decades were so arduous that many colonists opted for the long journey home in a creaky sailing ship over the prospect of eking out a new life in this faraway place.
I'm reading this synopsis of local history from the mock-retro storyboards at the Museum of Perth, a tiny exhibition space that opened in October down a graffiti-adorned laneway off Murray Street. "Museum" is perhaps too lofty a word for it; it's more of a cool boho cultural venue, complete with the central business district's first vegan-friendly café. The crowdfunded venue is also a labor of love for its founders, a passionate group of likeminded locals that includes my guide, Ryan Mossny, who is leading me on one of his Two Feet & a Heartbeat walking tours.
The Karl Marx reference is the first thing I read, and I inadvertently laugh. Mossny, standing quietly next to me, says earnestly, "It's true." The thing is, I don't doubt that it's true, but there couldn't be more of a disconnect between that 19th-century sentiment and the here and now. From where I'm standing, the resounding feeling is that the capital of Western Australia, one of the most isolated cities in the world, is now an absolute rollicking success story.
It helps that I'm staying at the city's newest luxury hotel, COMO The Treasury. Many of my fellow Australians may have never heard of Singapore-based COMO Hotels and Resorts, but I know from stays at the group's properties in Bali and Bhutan that Perth is in for a treat. Designed by Kerry Hill—a locally born architect renowned for his collaborations with Aman—the 48-room Treasury, with its big windows and soaring ceilings, has the kind of spaciousness that hotels in few other cities can afford. It's also exquisitely decorated, with a nature-washed color palette complemented by Italian oak furniture, little piles of design books, and botanical artworks—a home away from home with an impeccable aesthetic.
But what makes The Treasury extra special is its starring role in the rejuvenation of downtown Perth's historic Cathedral Square precinct. The hotel occupies one of three interconnected 19th-century buildings—now known collectively as the State Buildings—that housed various government offices during their 140-year history, until being vacated 20 years ago and left to an uncertain fate. It wasn't until 2007 that the ambitious vision of property developer and founder of Perth's Little Creatures brewing company, Adrian Fini, got the go-ahead. Eight years and some US$80 million later, the result—a stylishly cool inner-city eating and drinking precinct with boutique shopping and a world-class hotel—can only be described as a rare gift to Perth.

Have a Beer Related Question? Email beermebc@gmail.com!
What is a finger of head mean?
A beer's head is the foam that comes from Carbon Dioxide being released when a beer is poured. The thickness of this 'head' is often measured by the width of a finger at the side of the glass.
What is lace or lacing on a beer glass?
When the head settles into a beer after being poured it can leave a residue on the side of the glass. Lace is the ability for a beer to retain its head after being poured and the residue left behind is often called lacing. A beer's ability to retain its head is caused by the protein content within a beer. Lacing is a sign of quality beer poured into clean glassware.
What does a beer's IBU Mean?
IBU is short for International Bitterness Units this is a measure of how bitter a beer is. The higher the IBU the more bitter a beer will taste. Here is a basic guide on ranges for different types of beer.
What does a beer's gravity mean?
Original Gravity (OG) is a measure of density before a beer is fermented. The Final Gravity (FG) is that same measure of density after the fermentation process. The difference between these two values is used to calculate the alcoholic content of beer.
What is beer made from?
The German Beer Law of 1516 says that beer should only contain barley, hops, yeast and water. These are the building blocks of beer. Many German and Belgian beers also contain wheat and mass produced beer can contain Corn. Seasonal and specialty brews may also contain additional fruits, grains or ingredients that vary from this list.
What is the difference between an Ale and a Lager?
An Ale is fermented in a warm situation where the yeast floats to the top of the fermenter. A Lager on the other hand is fermented in a cold scenario where the yeast remains at the bottom. The brewing process for an Ale can be as quick as 7 days while a Lager typically takes much longer. In general a lager tastes cleaner, smoother and crisper than an ale but a broader range of flavours can be brought out in an Ale.
Which is darker: a Porter or a Stout?
Cascadian, or Northwest hops are grown in the Pacific Northwest of North America. Crops can be found from Northern California up into British Columbia Canada. The Cascadian Style Hop grows best at elevation and in a mild/cool climate. The distinctive taste of this style of hop is of a pine-tree like bitterness.
What is the difference between an English IPA and a North American IPA?
An English style IPA has a flavour of caramel malts, hop bitterness, and a rather smooth malted barley base. A North American IPA is often seen as having higher IBUs, higher alcohol, citrus notes, pine-bitter hops and a lack of sweetness.
What is the difference between a Weizen and a Witbier?
A Weizen is a wheat beer that comes from Germany while a Witbier is a Belgian style wheat beer. A Weizen often has flavours of banana, clove and orange while a Witbier tastes of Coriander, and citrus.
Why does beer come in a dark bottle?
Light, heat and air are three two things that can make a beer go bad sooner than expected. it is best to store beer in a cool, dark place before consuming. The dark bottle helps to limit the exposure to light before consumption.
How long will beer last before going bad?
Most craft beers will last for up to 6 months if kept in a cool dark place. Certain higher Alcohol content beers such as Barley Wines and imperial stouts can be aged for several years though as their flavours will develop.
Why is beer not vegan?
Beer does not contain any animal products but some English style beer is processed using isinglass, gelatin, glycerin or casein which all come from animals. German and Belgium beers using traditional methods of brewing are vegan. As a rule of thumb: Vegans should avoid British beer and choose German or Belgium beer instead.
Carbonation is a natural result of the fermentation process. All beer is carbonated otherwise it would not contain alcohol. Many beer is artificially carbonated following fermentation where C02 is forced into the beer and is dissolved. This secondary carbonation adds more fizz to the beer than would occur naturally.
Why is beer so bitter?
A beer's bitterness is measured by its IBU. A low IBU beer like a lager or Pilsner will make for a beer that is less bitter than a high IBU Pale Ale or IPA.
Why does beer make you fat?
Beer does not contain any fat. The belief that beer will make you fat comes from carbohydrates that if not burned can be transformed into fat by the body. If you drink in moderation and exercise regularly beer will not lead to weight gain.
Is beer good for your health?
Yes, When consumed in moderation it has been proven that beer can lead to improved health. Beer has been shown to help fight disease, increase the body's levels of antioxidants, help prevent cancer, reduce menopausal hot flashes and fight off osteoporosis. Plus it is nutritious!
fun website. But you missed out on the best brewery I've come across in BC: Red Arrow in Duncan. Amazing. They've redefined Lager, and Kolsch. So refined and full bodied without overpowering any note, unlike Victoria area breweries imho. More subtle refined IPA choices too, which I like, and a great great hefeweizen. Suits my tastes anyways (I am not a porter lover) and I do not live in Duncan, I live in Victoria. Also a fan of Port Townsend brewery across the border.
Thanks for the feedback. You can find several articles about Red Collar at the following link.
Hi, I am wondering if you sell to any retailers in the South Surrey/White Rock area?


Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are the main source of intra-seasonal and interannual variability in the extratropical stratosphere. The profound alterations to the stratospheric circulation that accompany such events produce rapid changes in the atmospheric composition. The goal of this study is to deepen our understanding of the dynamics that control changes of Arctic ozone during the life cycle of SSWs, providing a quantitative analysis of advective transport and mixing. We use output from four ensemble members (60 years each) of the Whole Atmospheric Community Climate Model version 4 performed for the Chemistry Climate Model Initiative and also use reanalysis and satellite data for validation purposes. The composite evolution of ozone displays positive mixing ratio anomalies of up to 0.5-0.6 ppmv above 550 K (similar to 50 hPa) around the central warming date and negative anomalies below (-0.2 to -0.3 ppmv), consistently in observations, reanalysis, and the model. Our analysis shows a clear temporal offset between ozone eddy transport and diffusive ozone fluxes. The initial changes in ozone are mainly driven by isentropic eddy fluxes linked to enhanced wave drag responsible for the SSW. The recovery of climatological values in the aftermath of SSWs is slower in the lower than in the upper stratosphere and is driven by the competing effects of cross-isentropic motions (which work towards the recovery) and isentropic irreversible mixing (which delays the recovery). These features are enhanced in strength and duration during sufficiently deep SSWs, particularly those followed by polar-night jet oscillation (PJO) events. It is found that SSW-induced ozone concentration anomalies below 600 K (similar to 40 hPa), as well as total column estimates, persist around 1 month longer in PJO than in non-PJO warmings.

In the wake of Delhi Congress leader A.K. Walia reportedly offering to quit the party just few days ahead of the MCD polls in the state, party members have hinted at a possible rift within the fold.
Senior leader Sandeep Dikshit on 3 April, 2017 rued the kind of treatment that was meted out to the senior party leaders.
"The kind of treatment that has been meted out to the senior party members is not correct," Dikshit said.
A similar sentiment was echoed by A.S. Lovely, who appeared to be taking a shot at the top brass of the party.
"Duty of the party state president is to ensure all stay together. These issues need to be addressed by party leadership," Lovely told ANI.
Earlier, Walia offered to quit the party as he was reportedly upset over ticket distribution by the party leaders ahead of the MCD polls and alleged that the ground work by party workers was overlooked.


CFE Tax Advisers Europe has issued an Opinion Statement PAC 5/2018 on the legal professional privilege reporting requirement waiver set out in Article 8ab(5) of the Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 of 25 May 2018 ("DAC6" or "Mandatory Disclosure Rules Directive").
This statement sets out CFE's expectation that European Union Member states will fully respect the legal professional privilege reporting wavier as set out in Article 8ab(5) of DAC6 in the course of transposition and implementation of this Directive, in those Member states where such rights exist for tax advisers under domestic law. CFE strongly believes the principle of confidentiality and transparency in taxation can go hand in hand.

Israel may be small in size and relatively young in age but it packs quite a punch on all fronts. Whether it's the impressive Roman ruins of Caesarea, the International Style of Tel Aviv's architecture, the haunting pink-hued landscape of Makhtesh Ramon, or the complex politics of the country, Israel will leave you floored.
The world's lowest point, the Dead Sea lies within its environs, and a visit here is one of the top things to do in Israel. However, a visit to one of the most 'lifeless' places on earth will awaken rather than dull your senses. The cobalt blue waters with their white deposits and breathtaking surroundings, characterized by reddish cliffs punctuated by dark green vegetation are sure to evoke a whimsical sigh. In sharp contrast to the therapeutic tranquility of the Dead Sea are Tel Aviv's lively beaches with rolling waves and watersports.
Not far from the Dead Sea is the gorgeous Ein Gedi National Park, featuring an oasis and some scenic walking trails. Steep canyons, sparkling pools, and tumbling waterfalls are just some of nature's wonders you'll encounter on your wanderings through this area. Another must-see in the area is the UNESCO listed Masada, an ancient fortress strategically located on a flat plateau overlooking the Dead Sea.
When you're done with exploring Israel's spectacular natural landscapes, head to the urban sprawl that gives Israel its unique character. Whether it's the walled port city of Acre, the ancient city of Jaffa, Jesus' hometown Nazareth, or the Bahá'í revered city of Haifa, you'll find much to mesmerize you about urban Israel. The capital Jerusalem is a must-see, the holiest of holies,' one of the most religious cities in the world for its religious significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The tangible spiritual magnetism of the city attracts many pilgrims. However, if it's another kind of renewal that you seek then Tel Aviv is where you'll find it. With its ever-evolving culture and facade, one of the world's most expensive cities is where you can truly let your hair down and dance the night away.

NTT Com Launches WideAngle Security Service
Monday, December 02, 2013 Cyber Security, Japan, NTT
NTT Com Security (formerly Integralis) introduced its next generation Managed Security Services (MSS) for global enterprises.
The enhanced MSS, which is available under the company's single global brand, WideAngle, is capable of analysing vast amounts of disparate data and distilling it into actionable information that enables businesses to manage increasingly diverse threats and make informed risk management decisions.
The new service has three key building blocks – device management, automated analysis and security enrichment – and is delivered by NTT Com Security experts through its Global Risk Operations Centres (GROC). The 24/7 service is available in five different service levels.
Andrew Lev, Chief Product Officer, NTT Com Security, stated: "Companies are operating in a new, and disruptive, computing environment. At the same time the security threats they face are becoming ever more sophisticated. We have built on our expertise and heritage to create a portfolio of services that empower organisations to proactively manage risk in this new landscape. Embedding the knowledge that comes from our global data centre network gives organisations a unique and comprehensive view into the developing threat landscape as it happens. Our ability to proactively remediate those vulnerabilities in a customer as well as in cloud and hybrid environment is vital for delivering the next generation of information security risk management."
Akira Arima, CEO, NTT Communications, added: "The ongoing expansion of NTT Com Security's Managed Security Services offering demonstrates the power of leveraging group-wide global skills and capabilities. Most importantly it shows how by working together, companies within the group can develop and bring to market dynamic services that address customers' security risks and challenges. We are very positive about the capability of WideAngle MSS and are working to ensure that, as a group, it is part of everything we do."

T-Systems Unifies onto Dynamic Cloud Platform with Cisco
Monday, December 02, 2013 #cloud, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Germany, T-Systems
Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems will operate all cloud solutions on a single Dynamic Cloud Platform (DCP), which it plans to launch shortly. The unified platform, which will begin operations in Munich, will support all of the company's cloud offers, including Infrastructure as a Service, Collaboration as a Service and Software as a Service.
T-Systems' Dynamic Cloud Platform (DCP) was developed by Cisco. The DCP is fully IPv6-capable and features redundant 10GbE fiber connections between all components with quality of service for data prioritization. All DCP locations are constructed according to the twin core principle, which ensures that backups are always stored in a second data center.
The Dynamic Cloud Platform promises to reduce operating expenses for T-System thanks to standardization. Automated processes will make it easier to launch new services within a few hours or days
T-Systems said it will work closely with customers to gradually migrate systems that were spread over multiple cloud platforms to the new environment. T-Systems plans to roll out the platform to its data center in Houston (USA) later this year, followed by Frankfurt. If demand rises Magdeburg (Germany) will be next, as well as a data center in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Converting to other systems is generally burdensome and generates high costs and downtime. Thanks to the Dynamic Cloud Platform, this will no longer be a problem for growing customers who need more capacity," says Ferri Abolhassan, Director of Production and Board member at T-Systems. "Customers can combine cloud services flexibly and use them as needed. This means better service and more comfort for the more than 12,000 different customer landscapes that can now be operated in one data center."

University of Florida Deploys Brocade 100 GbE Core Routers
Monday, December 02, 2013 100G, Brocade, Core, Internet2, Routers
The University of Florida is deploying Brocade MLXe Core Routers with 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) blades and Brocade ICX Switches in its core network connecting the institution's HiPerGator supercomputer and external research networks, such as Internet2. In the newly opened data center, the University of Florida consolidated three primary Campus Research Network (CRN) sites to two, resulting in a 200 GbE triangle configuration connection between the two sites and the gateway to Internet2.
"All high-energy physics researchers in the southeast United States use the University of Florida's network as a resource and all of the data flows through Brocade routers," said Erik Deumens, Ph.D., Director of Research Computing at the University of Florida. "The 100 GbE Brocade MLXe routers enable us to keep up with demands and are also what the campus needed to develop a clear technology roadmap supportive of software-defined networking (SDN)."
In addition to the 100 GbE network, the University of Florida is participating in an early field trial of the recently announced Brocade MLXe 40 GbE module and connecting the Brocade MLXe Core Routers with high-density Brocade ICX 6650 Switches that provide 40/10 GbE performance. Brocade said the resulting solution positions the university as a leading example of a campus deploying an SDN-ready 100 GbE network core with 40 GbE connectivity to the aggregation layer.

Govs Back Continuous Use Of AstraZeneca Vaccines
The 36 state governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) have renewed their support for the continuous use of AstraZeneca Vaccine to nip in the bud, the Coronavirus pandemic.
Rising from its 28th Emergency Teleconference Meeting, the governors, who reiterated their belief in the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccines, said that as state Executives, they are committed to continuously encourage the uptake of the vaccines by all eligible persons in their states.
In a communique signed at the end of the meeting by the NGF Chairman and Ekiti State Governor, Dr.Kayode Fayemi, the governors urged Nigerians to remain calm and report any adverse events noticed following Covid-19 vaccination.
At the meeting, the governors also resolved to support the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Gen. Muhammad Buba Marwa (rtd) in the fight against drug abuse in the country as well as Nigeria's security fight especially as it relates to combating drug abuse and the illicit trafficking of drugs.
Fayemi said, "Governors reiterated their belief in the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccines and commit to continuously encourage uptake of the vaccines by all eligible persons in their states, governors also encourage the public to report any adverse events noticed following Covid-19 vaccination.

Emefiele Fears Reps' Arrest Threat, Appears Before House ….Says Banks 'll Accept Old Notes After Deadline
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has finally appeared before the House of Representatives which summoned him over the crisis caused by the redesign of some naira notes and the exchange of old naira notes with new ones.
Emefiele yesterday appeared before the ad hoc committee set up by the House to investigate the crisis, which is chaired by Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa.
He told the House of Representatives that commercial banks in the country would still accept old naira notes from customers after the February 10 deadline.
He did not, however, state how long the expired notes would be admitted by the banks.
The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, had accused the CBN governor of breaching Section 20 of the CBN Act which, according to him, mandates commercial banks to accept old notes even after the deadline.
Emefiele, while addressing the ad hoc committee, said he agreed with the lawmakers on Section 20 of the CBN Act.
"Section 20 says even after the old currency has lost its legal tender status that we are mandated to collect that money. And I stand with the House of Reps on this," he stated.
The CBN governor added that, "if you have your money that you have not been able to send to the bank, we will certainly give you the opportunity to bring them back into the CBN to redeem it. Either you pay it to your bank account or you want to do an exchange — we give you. You will not lose your money. This is the assurance I give to Nigerians".
Emefiele apologised to the lawmakers for failing to answer the previous summons, which the chairman said was accepted.
He stated that the policy should have been introduced several years ago and that the CBN had only used the opportunity to make the economy more cashless. According to him, Nigerians would soon realise the benefits of the policy.
The chairman of the ad hoc committee, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, after the hearing that lasted over one hour, called for an executive (closed-door) session with members of the committee.
The Majority Leader and members later proceeded to the chamber where plenary was ongoing.
The report of the committee was laid, considered and adopted by the House.
Recall that the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, was to issue a warrant for Emefiele's arrest over his repeated failures to answer at least four summons from the House.
The House had shelved its plan to go on break for the presidential and National Assembly elections, which was to commence on Thursday, over the CBN governor's failure to answer the last summons issued to him by the committee.
Gbajabiamila had threatened to mandate the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to arrest and force Emefiele's appearance before the panel, insisting that the deadline breached the provision of Section 20(3) of the CBN Act.
The Speaker partly said, "I have no choice now. On Tuesday (yesterday) when we resume, we will invoke the provisions of Section 89 of the Constitution…The President has been very clear. The President gave the approval based on what he knows and what he has been told.
"We also know the President to be a man of the people. He gave his approval based on what he had been told. But we are saying – what the motion is saying – is that after the President gave his approval, how does the money get to the people? The money is not getting to the people. That is what we sought to clarify and that is exactly what we are going to do.
"So, on Tuesday, this House will follow its procedure – the normal procedure – and invoke the provisions of Section 89 to compel the governor of the CBN and the directors."
The Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, had also urged the House to allow the leadership to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari and explain the controversial implementation of the policy to him, which the Speaker agreed to.
Though the CBN, on Sunday, extended the deadline on the expiration of the old N1,000, N500 and N200 notes by 10 days – from January 31 to February 10, with the Deposit Money Banks (commercial banks) allowed to accept the notes by seven days more, the House had insisted on Emefiele's appearance.
Ado-Doguwa, in a statement titled 'Old Naira Notes: House C'ttee Rejects CBN Extension, Says Position of Law Sacrosanct, Must Be Respected,' insisted that the apex bank must comply with Sections 20(3), (4) and (5) of the CBN Act.
"Nigeria, as a developing economy and a nascent democracy, must respect the principles of the rule of law. And the House would go ahead to sign the arrest warrant to compel the CBN governor to appear before the ad hoc committee," the Majority Leader stated.
Emefiele, however, led the leadership of the CBN to appear before the lawmakers yesterday.
Cumulatively, Emefiele has failed to answer summons from the House at least four times within two months.
The House had on December 22, 2022, grilled the Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability, Central Bank of Nigeria, Aisha Ahmad, over the latest policy by the apex bank which, among others, sets limits to cash withdrawals at the Deposit Money Banks and other financial institutions.
The House had summoned Emefiele but he failed to appear in the two previous appointments with the lawmakers. The CBN had informed the House that Emefiele would not appear before the House in person, rather Ahmad would lead the Committee of Governors before the lawmakers.
Emefiele had also failed to answer two summons from the House' ad hoc committee to investigate the scarcity of the new naira at the Deposit Money Banks, also known as commercial banks, leading to tension over the January 31 deadline set by the CBN for the exchange of the old notes with the newly designed ones.
Wike Accuses PDP National Of Anti-Party Activities …Says He'll Hit Back
Rivers State governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, says it is an act of anti-party on the part of the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to tell lawyers handling legal suits on behalf of the PDP in the State to dissociate themselves from the cases.
Governor Wike made the accusation against the national leadership of the party during the flag off of the Rivers State PDP campaign rally held at State School premises, Okehi 1, in Etche Local Government Area on Monday.
The PDP in Rivers State had taken some political parties in the State to court over non-compliance with the regulations and laws of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the conduct of their various primaries.
The governor said instead of the PDP national leadership to support the suits by the PDP in Rivers, it has asked lawyers handling the various legal matters to withdraw legal representations.
According to him, anti-party begets anti-party and since the PDP national has started the anti-party game, it will get anti-party in return.
"We have caught them. They are the ones engaged in anti-party. I told them anti-party begets anti party. You know we carried these small parties (APC, SDP) to court for failing to do what the law says.
"The people in Abuja that say they are national have gone to collude with them (opposition parties) to write our lawyers a letter that they should take their hands off, in order to kill the cases we filed. I have told our lawyers to withdraw from the matters. I will hit them back by tomorrow.
"Nobody hurts us without sustaining a scar. Anybody who dares to touch us in Rivers State, I will inflict many scars on him and we have started it. We are voting for our people here. Now you have told us you are doing anti-party. We will show you what anti party is. Already, we have caught them red-handed", Wike said.
The governor emphasised that the forthcoming election is a battle that must be won, and urged Etche people to go home, get prepared by collecting remainder of their Permanent Voters Card with INEC and vote all PDP candidates in the State.
He described the PDP in the state as a formidable squad, fully prepared for the election, saying it has all that it takes to ensure that the election is peaceful, with winning votes secured for all its candidates.
Speaking further, Governor Wike thanked Etche people for their massive turn out at the rally, which demonstrates that they are fully in support of the PDP in the state.
He pointed out that by all ramifications, the PDP-controlled State government has kept every promise made to Etche people since 2015.
These, according to the governor, include delivery of over eight critical road infrastructure, establishment of a campus of Rivers State University in the area and appointment of their son as Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education.
Governor Wike urged Etche people to vote the governorship candidate of the PDP, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, as his successor to consolidate on the gains of his administration.
In his speech, Sir Fubara solicited bulk votes from Etche people to enable him and the entire consolidation team win the forthcoming general elections in the state.
He promised to sustain regular payment of workers' salary as well as ensure that all assets owned by the State are never sold to cronies of those in power.
Fubara also assured that when elected, his adminisration would ensure that closure of courts in the State is never experienced again.
The PDP governorship candidate said he is sure of winning the March 11 election because of his competence and understanding of the new Rivers Vision of Governor Wike, which would serve as the foundation for his administration.
Rivers State Chairman of PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, who presented party flags to the candidates contesting for the various positions, urged the people to vote for them.
Director General of the Rivers PDP Campaign Council, Brother Felix Obuah, said Etche people were better off under Governor Wike's administration, and urged them to remain resolved to deliver votes in bulk for the PDP.
Former Etche council chairman, Nnamdi Okere, said the forthcoming election is about showing gratitude and love to ygovernor Wike, whose administration has benefited Etche land and people.
The PDP candidate for Rivers East Senatorial District, Chief Allwell Nyesoh, who spoke on behalf of the candidates, accepted the responsibility of flying the party's flag and pledged that the candidates would provide quality representation, following in the foot steps of Governor Wike.
Earlier, Governor Wike had visited Ochie of Etche Land, Onye-Isi Etche, King Emmanuel N. B. Opurum, at his palace in Ndashi to acquaint the king of the flag off of PDP campaign in Etche Local Government Area.
Well'll Win Elections Because Etche People Understand Our Vision -Fubara
The governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, has expressed confidence that he would win the March 11 governorship election in the state because Etche people understand the New Rivers Vision.
Sir Fubara stated this at the campaign rally of the PDP in Rivers State held at State School premises, Okehi 1, in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State on Monday.
Addressing party faithful and supporters at the rally, the PDP governorship candidate asserted that Governor Nyesom Wike, has performed very well in Etche Local Government Area and promised to build on those achievements.
"A question was asked, what are we consolidating? We are consolidating on ensuring that our courts will not be closed again. We are consolidating on regular and prompt payment of salaries and pensions. We are consolidating on infrastructural revolution. We are consolidating on ensuring that state assets are not being sold by friends and business partners again. We are consolidating on good governance.
"Governor Nyesom Wike has laid a solid foundation for onward growth of every sector and every part of the state. Our own job is to continue, build, and improve on it. This is what we mean by consolidation and continuity.
"The testimonies of Etche people here are wonderful. A journey they spend hours on before due to bad road, they now spend less than 45 minutes because of Governor Wike's magic on your roads. This is dividend of democracy and good governance, it is evidence of right leadership", he said.
Fubara urged Etche people to utilise the extension of the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"Please ensure that this remaining few days that INEC has provided for us for collection of PVC are used to collect yours if you are yet to do so. Sensitise your people to do so because our PVC is our weapon, it is our instrument, and our power, without it, we are powerless.
"With our PVC, we will ensure that PDP wins the governorship election in Rivers State. I know I will win, I am not desperate but I know I will win because of my competence and Governor Wike's performance.
"With our PVC, we will ensure that PDP wins all the senatorial seats, all the House of Representatives seats, and all the State House of Assembly seats in Rivers State.
"We have done very well in Etche Local Government Area because you understand the New Rivers Vision. When you understand a vision, it becomes easy for you to key into it. We expect you to support us again so that we will do more for you and bring more development to Etche", Fubara added.
In his address, Governor Wike condemned the attempt by the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party to frustrate the suit filed by the Rivers State chapter of the party against opposition parties in the state.
The governor also boasted that he has fulfilled the electioneering promises he made to the people of Etche in 2015 and 2019, and urged them not to listen to politicians who have penchant for failing on their campaign promises.
"You must differentiate politicians who are known for not keeping their campaign promises from those who keep to their promises. When I came to you in 2014/2015, I made several promises to you, to the glory of God, I have fulfilled those promises made to you.
"I have constructed several roads in this local government area. I sited one of the campuses of Rivers State University here. In fact, Igwuruta-Chokocho Dual Carriageway was one of my first projects when I came on board.
"Our own is not to lie to you, when we tell you we will do something for you, we go ahead to do it. Do not vote those parties that will promise you and fail to fulfil it.
"Those of them in Abuja who are talking about anti-party have been caught red-handed in the act. They are the first to play anti-party that they accused us of.
"We challenged the illegal conduct of primaries by some opposition parties in Rivers State in court, and we were hoping on the court to do the right thing. We have just been told that the national chairman of the party has written to the party's lawyer to hands off the case to frustrate our suit.
"No problem at all, let them frustrate the case. We will hit them back because anti-party begets anti-party, the governor stated.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the Director-General of the New Rivers Vision Consolidation Campaign Council, Bro Felix Obuah, said the best way the people of Etche Local Government Area will appreciate Governor Wike for what he has done in the area is to vote Sir Fubara for governor, and all other PDP candidates in the state on February 25 and March 11 elections.
