*SIX LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....*

1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*�They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

*MEANING*; �Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. �Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.

2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.* �They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
*MEANING*; �Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. �They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*�*MEANING*; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.* �When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. �This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.�*MEANING*; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. �We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. �Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.
5. *Eagles Prepare for Training;* �They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies/ when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest./
*MEANING*; �Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.
6. *When the Eagle Grows Old,* �His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. �So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. �Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.
*MEANING*; �We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go of.
*NEVER GIVE UP,*�*BE AN EAGLE*��

CAN to FG: Twisting Facts about the Crises in Kaduna State is Not the Way Out.

In the past weeks, there have been reports of killings, especially in the southern part of Kaduna state with the most recent massacres at Kukum Daji and Gora Gan put at 33 deaths, aside from the scores who are in hospitals receiving treatment from various degrees of gunshots.

However, instead of the Buhari led Federal Government of Nigeria stepping in to find a lasting solution, it is unfortunate that it has resorted to twisting the truths. One of the twists is the provocative claims credited to the Senior Special Assistant (Media & Publicity) to the President of Nigeria on the 21st July 2020 that "the problem in Southern Kaduna is an evil combination of politically-motivated banditry, revenge killings and mutual violence by criminal gangs acting on ethnic and religious grounds."

As if the above misconception is not enough, Shehu Garba further misinforms the Nigerian and the international community that "Southern Kaduna enjoys comprehensive security deployments, including the Army, Special Forces of both the Army and the Air Force, surveillance aircraft by the Air Force and mobile police units that are on the ground on a 24-hour basis to forestall criminality and keep the peace."

Were it to be true that the southern part of Kaduna enjoys security surveillance as claimed as by Mallam Garba Shehu, where were the security personnel when people were attacked in Atyap and Chawai Chiefdoms during the state's imposed curfew and the fresh attacks at Kukum Daji in Kagoro Chiefdom as well as at Gora Gan in Atyap Chiefdom?

Consequently, CAN Kaduna State Chapter as a body finds the statement by Shehu Garba unwarranted and views it as a misdirected attempt towards giving a dog a bad name to hang it. The position of CAN is that the killings of innocent lives, maiming and destruction of lives and property across the nation, particularly the fresh attacks in the southern part of Kaduna state, have reached an extraordinary height and are a matter of grave concern, hence, require that the FG takes a proactive approach instead of taking sides.

CAN is worried that instead of Federal and State Government to do everything in their power to address this evil she is busy twisting facts to achieve what only God knows which will only make the situation worst.

CAN believe that the Government needs to apply the principle of justice for all in addressing this and other conflicts bedevilling our country. This principle will ensure that all citizens are treated equally. The government should not expect CAN be silent, and watch more lives being wasted by some militia groups.

Moreover, the government must not attempt to twist the facts to make a serious matter look like a drama. The government's attitude simply assists criminals killing innocent citizens to be viewed as the victims.

Aside from the degree of endless destruction of lives and property and government's complicit response, CAN wish to unequivocally assert that the government has not done enough to stop the never-ending attacks nor has it demonstrated guaranteeing steps to arrest the aggressors. Besides, the government's posture, evidenced in Shehu Garba's 21st July 2020 release, is an indictment on the government at all levels, considering that its fundamental duty is the protection of the lives and property of all citizenry and not only a section.

Accordingly, CAN call to the government is to stop paying taking sides and act promptly in apprehending the marauders of death before hapless communities are exterminated. It is even more painful to note that a record of the recent deaths is the youth, the leaders of our of collective future, demonstrating that Nigeria's future is bleak.

In view of the point that CAN accept that the right to life is an inalienable right, it believes that the continued killings are most unfortunate, unbecoming, and condemnable.

The government, whose primary obligation is to safeguard the lives of the people must not allow its communities to be desolate due to insecurity, especially that casualty rate is soaring to deliberate genocide.

A stitch in time saves nine. The federal, state and local governments must wake up to its role of safeguarding its people now or be deemed complicit in the genocide ongoing in the southern part of Kaduna state and in Nigeria as a whole.

CAN Chairman,
Kaduna State

PROPOSAL TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NIGERIAN BAPTIST CONVENTION ON HOSTING 2020 CONVENTION IN SESSION ONLINE

PREAMBLE:
This year’s Convention in Session scheduled to hold from April 18th to 23rd at the Baptist International Conference Centre could not hold because of the lockdown of the Country due to COVID-19 Pandemic which necessitated the postponement of the Annual Session. The leadership have been observing and monitoring the situation in the country since March 27th when the lockdown began to see the possibility of fixing another date for the meeting. However, from all indications, it appears that holding meeting of large gatherings like ours may not be possible this year as the cases of those who have the COVID-19 is on the increase on a daily basis and the possibility of another lockdown not being ruled out.
The President of the Convention having received advice from many quarters mandated a committee of the Admin Council to look at the modalities of hosting the Convention in Session for this year Online and present it to the Admin Council. The report was presented and adopted and hence being presented to the Executive Committee.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ONLINE CONVENTION IN SESSION
The followings are the objectives of the online Convention in Session:
To hold the Convention in Session Annually as stipulated in the Constitution.
To keep the Convention family abreast of the ministries of the Convention.
Leadership should not to be too far from the Convention family.
Demonstration of pro-activeness of the leadership of the Convention as touching alternative means of carrying out Convention ministry and business under whatever condition.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
The committee sort legal opinion from the Convention Legal Adviser. His write up is attached with this report. The summaries of the write up are:
No specific provision is made for a virtual meeting of the Annual Session.
The reality of the exigency of the moment as regards the protocols specified or prescribed by the Government of the Federation of Nigeria encourages virtual holding of meetings for health and safety reasons during the covid-19 pandemic.
There is no single provision contained in the Constitution and Regulations of the Nigerian Baptist Convention that forbids the holding or staging of the Annual Session through virtual or electronic meetings, and it is trite that “everything which is not expressly forbidden or prohibited by law is impliedly permissible”. This is a common law principle, which is binding in the legal system of Nigeria as part of the common law countries.
From Constitutional provisions, the Executive Committee can go ahead to prescribe and execute the manner through which the Annual Session of year 2020 can hold in the light of the requirements of the occasion we find ourselves.

CONDITIONS FOR ONLINE OPTION
The Committee considered the followings:

The medium of hosting the Online Convention must be easily accessible to the Baptist family.
The Medium should be cost effective.
A Technical Committee should be set up to work on the modalities of the hosting by exploring different medium of hosting and the cost implications.

A Technical Committee was put in place headed by Mr Feyisayo Ogunwale, the Principal ICT Officer of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. The Technical Committee was briefed on what is expected of them and asked to report back to the Committee on Friday 19th of June, 2020.

The Technical Committee met and submitted their report to on Friday 19th of June. The Committee met with the Technical Committee on Monday 22nd of June 2020 to discuss the report.

After extensive deliberations, the followings were adopted as the mode of hosting the 2020 Convention in Session Online:

The medium of hosting should be one that can capture face and voice.
The suggested medium of hosting Online Convention will be through ZOOM WEBINAR.
ZOOM Webinar can host a maximum of ten thousand (10,000) people.
ZOOM is the most used medium of interactive webinar or online meeting in the country presently.
Thus, it will be easily accessible to the Convention family.
It also has the least data consumption option when compared with other media.
The Convention in session will be a family meeting; hence it will be a closed and not an open meeting.
A closed meeting is one that is accessible to only those who have or will register to participate in the meeting through Zoom.
An open meeting is streaming the meeting to all that can link up through other channels like Facebook, YouTube etc.
The nature and sensitivity of what will be discussed like Finance, Executive Committee report etc informed the choice of a closed meeting.

EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2020 CONVENTION IN SESSION
There are some existing arrangements for 2020 Convention that was to hold in April. Chief among these are:
Venue of Hosting
Work is ongoing at BICC, since it is our International Camp.
We are proposing that next year’s convention should still hold there
It will be a mark of honor for the President to hold at least a Convention at BICC
If this is agreed to, it will provide easy solution to the second issue.

Accommodation
If the proposal of venue hosting is considered, the office of the President will write a letter to the management of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to maintain status quo of the accommodation already booked for 2021 Convention in Session.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION CHANNEL FOR THE CONVENTION
The advent of COVID 19 has revolutionized channels of information.
Thus, the Convention MUST have a channel of passing information to the Convention family.
TELEGRAM Platform is suggested for this purpose
Telegram can accommodate 200,000 people.
It will be a means of bringing the leadership closer to the people.
It will be interactive and serve as a feedback at times.
Departments will be featured on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
The President will also have a time of reaching out to the Convention family in interactive sessions.

CONCLUSION
If these propositions are accepted with modifications where necessary, the machinery for planning and ex*****on will be put in place to actualise the dream of having an online Convention in Session this year. We thank members of the Executive Committee for attending this ZOOM meeting to deliberate on this report.

LEGAL OPINION ON THE APPROPRIATENESS OF HOLDING THE ANNUAL SESSION OF THE NIGERIAN BAPTIST CONVENTION FOR THE YEAR 2020 ELECTRONICALLY

Going through the provisions of the Constitution and Regulations of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (Amended at Ibadan, Oyo State on the 1st day of May, 2014), the extant statute which governs the activities of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, by virtue of Regulation 1 (A)(B)(C)(D)(E i & ii) and (F), the content of the Annual Session of the Convention is comprehensively spelt out. See pages 11 and 12 of the said Constitution.

Nevertheless, no specific provision is made for a virtual meeting of the Annual Session. The reality of the exigency of the moment as regards the protocols specified or prescribed by the Government of the Federation of Nigeria encourages virtual holding of meetings for health and safety reasons during the covid-19 pandemic. The same protocol forbids the gathering of large number of people together at a place for any purpose, and therefore, the possibility of our holding of the annual session as the usual practice which involves the large gathering of messengers has been expressly proscribed.

From the foregoing, this occasion calls for a close scrutiny of the provisions of the guiding statute of the Convention to see what solution (if any) can be recommended for the holding of the Annual Session as prescribed by our Constitution.

Article 1 under the Regulations contained in the Constitution at subsection A specifically states that “the place of any annual session shall be determined by the Executive Committee at least one year but preferably two years in advance”. There is no gainsaying that the date and place determined by the Executive Committee for the hosting of the 2020 Annual Session was aborted by the imposition of a lockdown made by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Nevertheless, the power to name the place or prescribe the venue of the said Annual Session constitutionally still resides in the Executive Committee of the Convention and in exercising this power, recourse must be made to the Statute of Interpretation in the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria at Section 10(1)(2) which states thus:-
(1) Where an enactment confers a power or imposes a duty, the power may be exercised and the duty shall be performed from time to time as occasion requires. (Underlining mine for emphasis)

(2) An enactment which confers powers to do any act shall be construed as also conferring all such other powers as are reasonably necessary to enable the act to be done or are incidental to the doing of the act.

The foregoing provisions of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria have embolden us to state categorically that the power or duty imposed by the Constitution and Regulations of the Convention should be performed and exercised even now as the occasion requires during the covid-19 pandemic.

Section 10(2) of the Statute of Interpretation also supports the Executive Committee of the Convention to act as “reasonably necessary” to enable the Annual Session to hold through virtual or any other electronic means that the Executive Committee may deem fit.

A further scrutiny of the Constitution and Regulations of the Nigerian Baptist Convention reveals that the Executive Committee of the Convention is kitted with power as spelt out in Article IV of the Regulations of the Convention at page 41, paragraph 2(e) which states that the Executive Committee is duty bound “to act for the convention, concerning matters which may arise pertaining to persons, organizations, fellowships, boards, committees, organs etc which derives its creation from the provisions of this Constitution and which in our judgment cannot be deferred until next annual session”.

It is my humble view that the Convention is a creation of the Constitution and Regulations of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. See page 1, Article 1(a) of the said Constitution. Also see paragraph 9 at page 2 of the said Constitution. And what is more? There is no single provision contained in the Constitution and Regulations of the Nigerian Baptist Convention that forbids the holding or staging of the Annual Session through virtual or electronic meetings, and it is trite that “everything which is not expressly forbidden or prohibited by law is impliedly permissible”. This is a common law principle, which is binding in the legal system of Nigeria as part of the common law countries.

From the foregoing, I am of the considered view that the Executive Committee can go ahead to prescribe and execute the manner through which the Annual Session of year 2020 can hold in the light of the requirements of the occasion we find ourselves.

Yours faithfully,
