Carol Costello Presents: The God Hook


In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Ejike dreams of becoming a governor. He arrived in Lagos in January 2020, leaving his parents in Ebonyi state. His brother promised to send him to school. But he’s in Lagos, selling CDs in traffic- just like his brother. Making between N6,000-N10,000 a day, Ejike supports his brother’s family of four. Ejike wants to become a governor in Lagos state. He says his brother promised to send him to school next year. He’s told he can’t go to school this year because of COVID 19. Ejike is 14 years old. Farouk is 17 years old. His mum sells herbs in Ibadan while his dad is an Alfa (Islamic scholar). He travelled to Lagos on his own and caters to himself, calling passengers at the motor park and sometimes bearing load for money in the market in Oshodi. During the COVID19 lockdown, Farouk says he barely survived. He couldn’t make money as markets were open only temporarily and buses were not moving. He said one of the few women who came to the market fed him throughout the lockdown.…

Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, an NGO, has appealed to the Federal and State Governments to award bursary to students with disability in tertiary institutions. Rev. Sister Fidelia Unigwe, the National Coordinator of Child Empowerment Programme of the organisation, made the appeal in Abuja during the NGO's ``Disability Learning Exchange" programme. She said that the exchange programme was organised for the NGO's local partners, persons with disabilities (PWDs), Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and boards responsible for disability affairs at the State level. According to Unigwe, the financial support, if awarded yearly, quarterly or monthly as the case may be, will reduce the challenges faced by the PWDs in their academic pursuit.…

The Federal Government has begun investigation into the death of a 21-year-old Richard Gbadebo at Ibadan-based factory, Expand Global Manufacturing Limited. The factory located in the Oluyole area of the city was sealed on Wednesday by officials of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment. Mr Femi Fatoki, the Federal Controller of Labour, Oyo State Office of the Ministry, said that the factory was sealed following findings of a preliminary investigation. "Immediately we got knowledge of the accident, we came for a report. "We wanted to do a kind of investigation to actually know what happened and what led to the accident. We came here but we could not do much. "All the information we requested for and the document could not be supplied. "But despite that, we are able to put up a preliminary investigation and it was based on the preliminary investigation that we ordered the sealing up of the factory. "This order is in conformity with Section 38 of the Nigerian Factory Act. It has been identified as a dangerous workplace and we should seal it up." Fatoki said that the factory would remain sealed pending the outcome of a more comprehensive investigation report, which would determine whether or not the order would be lifted. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gbadebo was, until his death on the 28th of July, a 300-level student of the University of Ibadan. The deceased, a factory worker with a third party company - Henkel Nigeria Limited- was reported to have slipped into a soap making machine during production and died. NAN recalls that Mr Aliyu Jubril, the Human Resources Manager of the company, had in a statement described the loss as 'a sad development'. Jubril, who sympathised with the family and friends of the deceased, stated that the company was working closely with the police and Ministry of Labour to ascertain the cause of the tragic incident, in spite of the stringent safety protocols in place for all workers. He stated that the company's representatives had met with the family, along with representatives from the student council to express their deepest condolences. Jubril, in the statement, also gave assurance that the company would continue to engage with the family of the deceased to provide necessary support. Dr Adaora Obu, a staff of the ministry, said the preliminary investigation was inconclusive, but was optimistic that a statement would be issued upon conclusion of the ongoing full investigation. She said that some contraventions, which were identified, had been communicated to the company manager in writing. "We are still investigating, looking into the autopsy report and all that. "When we finish with the investigation, I am sure, there will be a statement," Obu said. Credit : (NAN)…

virtual conference Quotes from Speakers: The Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Balarabe: (the role of Government) The issue of trust in public institutions is not peculiar to Nigeria alone as many countries around the world are also under pressure to meet rising citizens expectations. She however stated that the Kaduna Government has rebuilt trust by providing functioning primary healthcare centres, laying-off incompetent teachers and revamping the education system in the State. She noted that signing up with the Open Government Partnership has also fostered the state’s culture of transparency and accountability. Dr Amina Salihu (on the role of Civil Society) Trust is earned as a result of being accountable, responsive and capable and civil society organisations are strategic pathfinders who need to enable citizens to recognise their right to access basic needs and improved public services and how they can use their voice and actions to drive change. Dr Joe Abah (on the role of citizens and other issues): The decline in trust is traceable to a number of things and reasons, and issues like the current corruption allegations in NDDC awarding billions to themselves in so called COVID- palliatives will continue to dispel public trust. Mr Fisayo Soyombo: On the role of the media Although the media has a huge responsibility to play, the Government has the bulk of the job. He added that people who want trust have to earn it. Most of the things that we consume as news are actually PR. This shows that journalists are being manipulated especially because they are not well paid. Government must be responsible for providing better governance, the media must ensure that public institutions are not deceiving citizens by engaging more investigative reporting. While stressing the need for more investigative reporting, he called on the public to support good journalism especially with funding. “If we want a media that is more alive, people have to support good journalism.” He also encouraged journalists to be objective in their reports. He noted that we need a value-reorientation in this country. Hamzat Lawal, Chief Executive, Connected Development: In 2019, what we learnt engaging government MDAs post elections informed our overall objective at Connected Development (CODE), which was to begin a campaign that was intended to increase trust among citizens and government. CODE’s strategy was to create platforms for informed debate between public institutions and citizens and also advocate for more government agencies to leverage digital communications to foster trust, increase transparency and ensure better accountability. This has led us to organise this conference that seeks to increase conversations and raise citizens and government’s consciousness towards rebuilding trust.…

“Blood donation is very critical component of patient care, ranging from those we have in Trauma, following road traffic accidents, those that are going for surgeries and those with critical illnesses that require blood transfusion. “So, it is a very important day for awareness to be raised across the globe and in our own case in the country for need for people to willing, voluntary donate blood. “Voluntary donors have been found to be safer than those who donate blood for replacement, maybe for family relations and those who are doing it for business. The consultant emphasised that those who voluntarily donate have blood safer product than those who do it for monetary gain or for relations. WBDD is a set aside by World Health Organisation (WHO) for member states’ and countries around the world to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products. It is also a day set aside to thank blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood. According to WHO, blood is an important resource, both for planned treatments and urgent interventions. “It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions to live longer and with a higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. “Blood is also vital for treating the wounded during emergencies of all kinds (natural disasters, accidents, armed conflicts, etc.) and has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and perinatal care. “A blood service that gives patients access to save blood and blood products in sufficient quantity is a key component of an effective health system.’’…

The National Assembly (NASS) has advocated for the establishment of Fund Committee to manage donations from individuals and organisations in support of the ongoing crusade against COVID-19 pandemic in the country. The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, made the call on Tuesday, at the end of a strategic engagement between President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of NASS over national issues including the Coronavirus disease at the State House, Abuja. Lawan, who was in company of the Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, stated that the committee when constituted would ensure proper and effective utilisation of the various donations made so far. ``The leadership of the National Assembly has been holding series of meetings with Ministers and the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and this afternoon we had an engagement with the President. ``We discussed with him what we have resolved as leaders of the National Assembly and our opinion on various issues regarding the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria as well as going forward. “For example, the various donations that we are receiving should go into a single account and should have a fund management committee that would be in charge of releases. Accountability and transparency require that we have that separation. “It is also an opportunity for us to commend Nigerians and corporate bodies that have given us donations but we believe there should be more coordination as far as the management of the funds donated is concerned.” Cue out audio 1 (Lawan) Lawan commended the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 for working hard to curb the spread of the deadly virus in the country. “I believe the Presidential Task Force is doing a very good job, they have been very proactive and they deserve our commendation,” he added. On Social Investment Programme, the Senate President called for a review of the way and manner the programme was being implemented to enable more poor and vulnerable citizens benefit from it. “We also believe that it is time to reform the way and manner we implement the social investment programme. “This is a very important programme that is meant to help poor and vulnerable Nigerians and we believe that having implemented it for four years or more, we should be reviewing to evaluate the efficacy and efficiency with which we have been implementing the programme. “I believe that we also need to legislate on how to fight poverty in Nigeria because this is one issue that has been there for quite some time and therefore there is need for us to have a very clear and well spelt out processes and procedures on how to tackle poverty. “There should be very little or no room for discretion so that we have a programme that will be very transparent and should go deep down to those who really deserve to have the support and should be such an equitable and fair programme as far the geographical spread across the country is concerned,” he said. On palliative measures, the Senate President said the National Assembly is on standby to reconvene and deliberate on the issue of the N500 billion stimulus package meant to cushion the effects of COVID-19 proposed by government, when presented to it.…

The Executive Director, Onelife Initiative for Human Development ' Sola Fagorusi, has called for the establishment of family court in Nigeria to protect the right of children in the country. Fagorusi said this while speaking as a guest on a radio show by The Development Report. He stated that it is not enough to pass the law adding that establishment of the court would ensure the compliance and implementation of the child rights. He, however, added that the lack of social support system could weaken the decision of the court. “It is not enough to pass the law; it has to be implemented. But another challenge is that in Nigeria, there is no social support system, so if the father or caregiver is arrested and jailed, who will take care of the child after Mr. A has gone to prison?” Fagorusi explained the Child Rights Act as a legal instrument for parents, caregivers should pay attention to their wards but that is not enough because there could be offenders in this area. “So, we try to define who a child is. There is a social definition of a child and anyone under the age of 18. Biologically, anyone that is having a mother or father is still a child to the living parents. There is also the legal definition which is about minors. This differs from places to places as there are countries that recognize that people below the age of 16 as children. “The Child Rights Act is a way of telling people in Nigeria that we have signed on to this treaty and that children should have special care, that there should be laws about the rights of children. But several states in Nigeria are taking a look at having their own versions of the Act.…

Does the SSS have any intelligence that confirms whether or not Yele Sowore has the capacity to carry out a revolution in Nigeria? The Department of State Services (DSS) says it arrested Omoyele Sowore, ex-presidential candidate, because he threatened the public peace and safety with his planned protest. On Saturday, agents of the service invaded Sowore’s residence and took him into custody. Before his arrest, he was promoting a protest tagged ‘#RevolutionNow’. Speaking with journalists on Sunday, Peter Afunaya, DSS spokesman, said Sowore crossed the red-line by calling for a revolution. He said the secret police would not ‘’just sit idly and watch any individual, group and their cohorts rise and threaten the peace, unity, and constitutionalism of the country’’. “Though there is apprehension and anxiety among citizens already, we wish to assure friends of Nigeria, and other law-abiding citizens, that there will be no revolution of any kind come Monday, August 5, 2019,’’ he said. “A democratically elected government is in charge, and we cannot allow any person or group to foment chaos or fan the ember of revolution.’’ Some Nigerians have spoken against the arrest of Sowore. In a statement, Wole Soyinka described the action of the DSS as a breach of the fundamental rights of the ex-presidential candidate. ‘’Deployment of alarmist expressions such as ‘treason’, ‘anarchist’, ‘public incitement’, etc by Security forces have become so predictable and banal that they have become meaningless. Beyond the word ‘revolution, another much mis-used and misunderstood word, nothing that Sowore has uttered, written, or advocated suggests that he is embarking on, or urging the public to engage in a forceful overthrow of government. Nothing that he said to me in private engagement ever remotely approached an intent to destabilize governance or bypass the normal democratic means of changing a government,’’ he said.

News Brief - https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/06/1039811 Bicycles for the environment - Cars have replaced bicycles as the primary means of transport in many Chinese cities but, with air pollution a major problem for the country, the bike is making a comeback, thanks to digital technology, and some 21st Century thinking. China was once considered to be the "Kingdom of the Bicycle,” with bikes dominating city streets across the country, but over the past four decades, China’s dramatic economic prosperity and urbanization has seen many people move to motor vehicles as their primary means of transport, contributing to a marked deterioration in air quality. New leader for the UN General Assembly : The global reach of the United Nations makes it “the world's best hope for peace and security, sustainable development and the promotion and protection of human rights and social progress”, said the top Nigerian diplomat who will be the next President of the General Assembly.

The values enshrined throughout the document must remain our benchmark and guide,” said Ms. Mohammed in her statement delivered at foreign affairs think-tank, Chatham House. Urging the world to move faster towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals , she noted that “without deep transformation, we risk catastrophic climate change; mass extinction of ecosystems and species; even higher levels of forced displacement; a major rollback of decades of development progress - and all of the political turmoil that accompanies social and economic disruption.” In another event on tackling inequality, she stressed the importance of unlocking the power and potential of women and girls. “Gender equality is one of the critical social, economic and political priorities of our time.

2018 INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS DAY - Connecting The Dots Between Migration and Development With the growing number of international migration pegged at 258 million as at 2017, what are the socio-economic and developmental impact of migration? What are dynamics of global migration, the pull and push factors, the realities and risks of irregular migration, amongst other emerging issues with a focus on the Nigerian context. FACT SHEET: There are over 258 million international migrants globally, (that is 3.4% of the world’s population) as at 2017. Since 2000, the total number of international migrants increased by almost 50 per cent, making the number of international migrants grow faster than the global population . 52 per cent of international migrants are male and 48 per cent are female . Work is the major reason that people migrate internationally, and migrant workers constitute a large majority of the world’s international migrants. USA, Germany, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, UK, UAE, Canada, France, Australia, Spain, Italy and India are the top destination countries for international migrants . Global displacement is at a record high, with the number of internally displaced at over 40 million and the number of refugees more than 22 million. Europe and Asia host the largest numbers of international migrants Internal migration is even more prevalent, with the most recent global estimate indicating that more than 740 million people had migrated within their own country of birth . Factors underpinning migration are numerous, relating to economic prosperity, inequality, demography, violence and conflict, and environmental change. Over 107,583 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean in 2018. Over 2,000 irregular migrants have died in 2018 while attempting to cross the Mediterranean into Europe. Irregular (illegal) migration has become a hot topic of local, national and global concern with social, political and economic dynamics. Africans constitute a high percentage of irregular migrants who are attempting to reach Europe through illegal means. Over 10,000 Nigerians who were trapped in Libya while attempting to reach Europe illegally have voluntarily returned home due to the suffering and inhumane conditions in the North African country. Irregular migration is closely related to human trafficking – the third most organised transnational crime against humanity.…
Open Contracting Partnership The most useful tool to address and tackle the issue of corruption in any society is radical transparency. Institutional opacity and absence of responsiveness strengthen misappropriation of public funds. Open knowledge of how taxpayers’ money are disbursed is crucial to the development of every society. It is the interest of both the government and the governed to promote the understanding of procurement processes, contract award processes; contract cost, bidder’s information and who monitors the contract implementation. How Open is Government Contracts bidding process, what you should know about Open Contracting as a Tool for Civic Engagement; I have in the studio this morning: Patrick Enaholo, PhD, Director, Open Data Research Center, School of Media and Communication, Pan Atlantic University, Lagos.
