  • How Mailafia Died At Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital – Middle Belt Forum

    Middle Belt Forum, (MBF) has given an account of how former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Obadiah Mailafia lost battle to a yet-to-be-disclosed ailment in the early hours of Sunday at the Specialist hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, FCT.

    The forum said conspiracy and lackadaisical attitude of medical personnel were responsible for his “untimely death.”

    The Forum disclosed this in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Isuwa Dogo.

    The statement reads, “The death of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada, Abuja,  this morning came to us as a great shock.

    “As someone who relentlessly participated in the activities of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), his untimely death has dealt  a deadly blow on ethnic nationalities of not only the Middle Belt but the country at large.

    “Arising from various enquiries from Nigerians over the circumstances of his death, the Forum wishes to state as follows: That Dr Mailafia arrived Abuja last Sunday September 12, 2021 from Akure and was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by his wife.

    “On arrival at home, the wife noticed he was not in the best of health conditions and seemed to be suffering from malaria. After three days of treatment without signs of improvement, he went to the CBN Hospital on Friday September 17, 2021 where he was shabbily treated. It took the intervention of a senior medic who immediately placed him on oxygen and admitted him.

    “Dr Mailafia’s was later given the option of choosing three hospitals: Gwagwalada Hospital, National Hospital and EHA Clinics. The wife opted for the third choice. On arrival at the EHA Clinics, the wife was subjected to yet another moment of anxiety as it took a direct order from the top management of the hospital to accept him.

    “After few hours of treatment, the EHA Clinics told the wife that it was expedient to transfer the former CBN Deputy Governor to Gwagwalada as the clinic was not fully equipped to handle the case.

    “The wife opposed the decision and insisted that she was opposed to the idea of taking her husband to Gwagwalada. Mailafia’s wife only succumbed when the consultant assured her that nothing bad will happen to her husband.

    “Yesterday, Saturday September 18, 2021, Dr Obadiah was transferred to Gwagwalada. On arrival, the name of the doctor that was billed to attend to Dr Mailafia was not on duty. Even when an attempt was made by foreign health consultants to save the situation, the doctor on duty got angry and said he was not obligated to listen to any foreign consultants that had been brought into the matter with the sole purpose of ensuring nothing  goes wrong.

    “Wife of the former CBN Deputy Governor was asked to pay the sum of N600’000 as deposit even when it was a referral case, with accruing medical bill to be settled by the CBN. At a point, Dr Mailafia complained over his breathing problems and pleaded with the doctors to place him in a ventilator. The doctors flatly refused.

    “Even after the doctors declared Dr. Mailafia dead, foreign consultants who were brought into the matter through Dr Mailafia’s son that is  living abroad, had directed a family member who is a medical professional, with the wife of the CBN Deputy Governor, to mount pressure on the chest of Dr.  Mailafia for  resuscitation and thereafter place him on a life support.

    “The doctors in Gwagwalada refused all entreaties by the family members of Dr Mailafia to follow the advice of the foreign consultants, insisting that they have already pronounced him dead.

    “Even when the wife could feel the pulse of her husband, the doctor flatly declared there was nothing they could do since they had already pronounced him dead.

    “While the above narration sums up the circumstances under which Dr Mailafia died,  we still  await the result of the actual cause of his death. As a nationalist and patriot that he was, Dr. Mailafia  was completely dedicated to the emancipation of ethnic nationalities from the clutches of oppression.

    “The economist was never afraid to speak truth to power just as he remained committed to the enthronement of justice and equity to all citizens across ethnic and religious  divides.

    “In the twilight of his life, this consummate technocrat and global scholar of repute beamed his searchlight on the raging insecurity ravaging our country. He expressed regrets over government’s incapacity to rein in the activities of insurgents and criminal groups terrorising the nation.

    “As a former presidential candidate in the 2019 poll, Dr Mailafia sought to deploy politics to bring about the dream he had for his country. Even after he lost the election, he never let down the bar in demanding for a fair treatment for all Nigerians.

    “The Forum recalls his patriotic zeal in standing up for truth and justice. He was never a letdown in being at the forefront of  showing the way for national greatness as he was willing to lay down his life for Nigeria.

    “The Forum is inspired by his altruistic disposition and contributions to national development. We remain proud of his footprints on the political, economic and social sands of our nation.

    “In this period of grief, we extend our sympathy to his immediate family members and pray to the Almighty God to grant each and everyone of them the fortitude to bear the pain of this irreparable loss.

    “The death of Dr Mailafia today represents a dark day for not only the Middle Belt but also for all citizens  who yearn for a new dawn for justice in Nigeria.”.a new dawn for justice in Nigeria.”.

    40= 10t + 1/2*10t^2
    4= t + t^2/2

    = t^2 + 2t – 8=0 ( solving quadratically)
    = (t+4)(t-2)=0

    t+4=0 or t-2=0
    t= -4 or t=2

    Therefore time to fall on the ground t=2s

    (8c)
    R.d of oil =R1 = 0.72

    R.d of water = R2=1.00

    R.d of liquid= R1/R2= 0.72/1 = 0.72

    R.d = density of wood(P1)/density of water(P2)
    0.72=P1/1.00

    P1= 0.72*1.00=0.72g/cm³
    But density of wood= mass of wood/volume of wood

    0.72= mass of wood/8*8*8
    Mass of wood = 0.72*512 = 368.64g

  • Ghana To Set Multiple Versions Of The Same WAEC Questions

    West African Examinations Council (WAEC) in Ghana, with the country’s Ministry of education will now start setting multiple versions of the same WAEC examination questions to reduce malpractice.

    Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum said this at a media briefing after touring some selected centres in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Accra yesterday.

    Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the sector Minister said that 10 versions of the same examination paper would be set and that will make it difficult for students to cheat. He said same questions will be set but in different numbers on the question papers of each candidate.

    At the centers visited, which include Frafraha Community Senior High School (SHS), West Africa and Kwabenya SHSs among others, Dr. Adutwum said the measures will form part of efforts by the government to ensure the eradication of examination malpractices in Ghana.

    According to the minister, some people out of the crave for money set up rogue websites through which they sold fake WAEC questions to unsuspecting students who out of ignorance also patronised such sites for a fee.

    “With that and other measures being put in place, it would be difficult for candidates to patronise such sites.” He said.

    Dr. Adutwum interacted with some of the candidates before they started their English II examination. He urged the candidates to remain focused and be disciplined during the examination since anyone caught cheating would be prosecuted because it was against the laws of the land.

    Dr. Adutwum said candidates should be confident, focused and avoid any action that would affect the sanctity of the examination.
