Alleged forgery: Court can’t stop probe of Saraki, Ekweremadu –IGP

IGP Solomon Arase

  

…says duo have no immunity against investigation
Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mr. Solomon Arase, yesterday dismissed as ridiculous, laughable and mere waste of time of the court, a suit filed by Senator Gilbert Nnaji, seeking to stop the police from probing the purported forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Order which produced Senators Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as leaders of the Senate in the 8th National Assembly.
Arase, while responding to the suit, yesterday, through a counter-affidavit, said no court of law in Nigeria has powers to stop the police from performing its statutory functions of investigating crimes, including the instant purported forgery of the Senate Standing Rules.
The IGP had wondered whether anybody in the country, including the 74 political office holders covered by provision of section 308 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), is immune from investigation.
He specifically argued that the principal officers of the Senate, including Senators Saraki and Ekweremadu, among others, which the suit sought to protect have no constitutional or statutory immunity from investigation.
He consequently urged an Abuja Federal High Court to throw out the suit for want of jurisdiction, adding that investigating the allegation of forgery in the Senate could only strengthen the integrity of the upper legislative house and its leadership.
Confirming that the Senate Standing Order 2015 (as amended) was forged, the police stated in its counter affidavit thus: “The present Senate has not enacted any standing orders yet.
“As at the time of inauguration of this present Senate, no standing orders had been made.
“Till date, no such standing orders have so far been made.
“The practice is that at inauguration, the incoming Senate uses the standing orders of the preceding Senate. The immediate past Senate did not amend the 2011 standing orders and the 2011 standing orders have not yet been amended.”
The document, which was deposed to by Joshua Yohanna, of the Legal/ Prosecution department, Force CIID, further averred as follows:
“I know that the plaintiff cannot prove that the so called 2015 standing orders were passed by the preceding Senate. “That the so called 2015 standing orders were never made nor passed by the immediate past Senate.
The plaintiff knows that the present Senate President was not in a position to have passed the 2015 Senate Standing orders before its inauguration.
“The plaintiff knows that it is only after inauguration that the current Senate could pass the Senate standing orders.
“That what he is bandying about is not an authorised Senate standing order.”
Accordingly, the police urged the court presided by Justice Gabriel Kolawole to throw out the suit as it simply constituted a nuisance.
The IGP, in his memorandum of conditional appearance filed by Elder David Abuo attacked the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit as well as the locus standi of the plaintiff to file the action.
Relying on the case of Hassan V EFCC (2014) 1 NWLR (pt. 1389), the lawyer submitted “no court has the power to stop the investigation powers of the Police or EFCC or any agency established, under our laws to investigate crimes whether there is reasonable suspicion of commission of crime or ample evidence of commission of an offence by a suspect.”
Besides, the police argued that the matter at hand raise issues of criminality and the police owe Nigerians the duty to unearth the truth behind the allegations of forgery
In addition, Abuo contended that the plaintiff had not shown what he had suffered or lost in this action as he is neither the Senate President nor Deputy Senate President.
He said apart from that, he is not an officer of the Senate. It further argued that every Nigerian citizen could be investigated for crime as there is no immunity against investigation in all civilized countries, Nigeria inclusive.
Earlier, counsel to the plaintiff, Peter Nwakolo, told the court that he needed time to respond to the notice of preliminary objections filed by the Arase as well as the application for joinder.
Secretary of the “Unity Forum” who signed the petition to the police, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi had earlier applied to be joined in the suit as an interested party.
His motion dated August 3, 2015 was filed by his counsel, Mamman Osuman, SAN, pursuant to orders 9 rule 15 (1); order 26 rule 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Federal High Court, Civil Procedure, Rules 2009.
In the application, Hunkuyi submitted that as a member of the current 8th Senate and the initiator of the petition, he has sufficient interest in the suit to entitle him to be joined as a defendant.
Osuman submitted: “Where an applicant seeking to be joined as a party in a proceedings establishes that he/it has an interest in the subject matter of an action and/or in the eventual result or outcome of such an action, the application for joinder ought to be granted as per the Supreme Court decision in Ige vs Farinde (1994) 7 1NWLR (pt. 354) 42 at page 65.”
In his ruling, Justice Kolawole who said he could not make an order for status quo to be maintained, because it could be misinterpreted adjourned proceedings to September 8, 2015 when it would be heard by another judge of the court, Justice Adeniyi Ademola

Recover stolen oil money, Buhari tells NNPC boss

President gives new helmsman Kachikwu six tasks
A NEW helmsman took the reins yesterday at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
President Muhammadu Buhari appointed  Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, the Executive Vice Chairman/General Counsel of ExxonMobil (Africa), as Group Managing Director (GMD), asking him to give recovery of stolen oil money a priority, among other targets.
Buhari may also appoint Kachikwu, who beat three other candidates in the race for the job, as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources to ensure synergy, a source said last night.
Those also considered and discreetly screened for the job, source told The Nation learnt, are former Petroleum Products Prices Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) Executive Secretary  Stanley Reginald;  Shell Petroleum Development Company Managing Director Mr. Osagie Okunbor  and a NNPC Deputy General Manager, whose name was not disclosed.
At the final negotiation with Kachikwu, the President gave him six terms of reference to reshape the corporation. They are to:
•clean up the NNPC system of corrupt elements;
•recover all stolen crude oil funds;
•work with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Directorate of State Service (DSS) to trace and recover  stolen oil cash;
•review the structure of the NNPC to compete globally;
•giving targets to all subsidiaries and put in place performance benchmarks; and
•fixe all refineries, which must work at optimal level, “even if it means using expatriates in the interim”.
A source said: “The new GMD of NNPC was picked after a thorough search by the President. Actually, at the end of the search, the choice was narrowed down to four candidates.
“The President opted for Kachikwu who is the Vice President of Exxon Mobil, not only in Nigeria but in Africa. Buhari was impressed by his impeccable credentials as the most senior black African in any multi-national oil firm in the world with 30 years experience.
“Apart from being a First Class graduate, Kachikwu also obtained PhD in Law which enabled him to rise to company secretary in Exxon Mobil.”
But it was not easy for the President to convince Kachikwu to accept the job because he was afraid that he might be messed up like other Nigerians, a source said.
“In their negotiation, President Buhari repeatedly said: ‘I won’t interfere with your work; I will give you a free hand because I want to reform this oil sector once and for all.’ The GMD accepted the job following what he realized as “the infectious patriotism and genuine intention of the President,: the source said.
Kachikwu yesterday took the reins at a brief ceremony held at the NNPC Towers, Abuja .
The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, in a statement, said the new helmsman expressed gratitude to his predecessor, Dr. Joseph T. Dawha, for holding the Corporation. He pledged to work assiduously in achieving the President’s growth aspiration for the oil and gas industry.
“ExxonMobil Upstream affiliates in Nigeria congratulate our Vice-Chairman and General Counsel, Dr. Emmanuel Kachikwu, on this opportunity to serve Nigeria as Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). We thank Dr. Kachikwu for his many contributions to ExxonMobil Nigeria, and wish him well in his new role.”
Inside the NNPC
The NNPC is the national oil company, through which the Federal Government regulates and participates in the country’s petroleum industry.
An Act to dissolve the former Nigerian National Oil Corporation and to establish the NNPC was created in 1977.  The NNPC was established on April 1, 1977, as a merger of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation and the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel.
By law, the NNPC manages the joint venture between the Federal Government and some foreign multinational corporations including Shell, Agip, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Total. Through collaboration with these companies, the Federal Government conducts petroleum exploration and production.
For lack of supervision, the NNPC degenerated to a rent-collector for the government with less attention to transparency and accountability.
Between 2007 and 2009, auditors found that the corporation over-deducted funds in subsidy claims to the tune of N28.5 billion and has not been able to account for the money.
In 2008, Willbros Group Inc of United States (U.S.) admitted making ‘suspicious’ payments of over $6.3 million to officials of the corporation and its subsidiary – the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) for assistance in obtaining and retaining contracts at the Eastern Gas Gathering System (EGGS).
In 2004, ABB Vetco Gray, a U.S. company and its UK subsidiary –  ABB Vetco Gray UK Limited – admitted paying over $1 million in bribes to  NAPIMS’ officials,  in exchange for obtaining confidential bid information and favourable recommendations from government agencies.
After the publication of a report In November 2013 by Swiss, a non-governmental advocacy organisation – Erklärung von Bern – allegations of fraud surfaced, placing the NNPC under suspicion of siphoning $6.8 billion of crude oil revenues.
From 2013, the NNPC has been battling with the allegation of non-remittance of $20 billion into the Federation Account.
These allegations, among others are responsible for the continued calls for the sanitisation and repositioning of the corporation.

INEC to initiate bill on electronic, diaspora voting

From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has revealed that it was finalizing arrangements to send a bill to the National Assembly for adoption of electronic voting system  and to enable Nigerians in diaspora cast votes during elections.
A deputy director of the commission and head of media, Nick Dazang, who made the disclosure after receiving award from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), yesterday, pointed out that as part of the commission’s determination not to disenfranchise Nigerians in any part of the world, the commission was working assiduously to send several other reforms to the National Assembly before the next general elections.
He said: “The introduction of reforms, such as permanent voter card and the smart card reader, proved to be the game changers in the 2015 general elections; in the sense that they added value and transparency to the process.
“The commission is determined to further improve its processes in terms of adding transparency. So, we are looking towards a commission that will for example, ensure other reforms such as the introduction of the use of electronic voting.
“For now, it is prohibited by law; but what the commission is likely to look at, is to canvass at the National Assembly to remove that prohibition; so, that the commission can introduce it in the subsequent elections.
“Another area, which President Muhammadu Buhari equally indicated interest recently, is the area of diaspora voting. We could not do it in the last election despite the clamour and clarion call for it, because it was equally prohibited by law.
“I also foresee a situation again, where the commission will canvass for diaspora voting to be allowed, especially when you take into consideration that there are millions of Nigerians in diaspora eager to exercise their franchise.
“In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that we have as much as seven million in Sudan alone and over three million in the United Kingdom. There are very huge Nigerian population in most of these African countries; yet,they don’t get to vote. I foresee a situation where the commission will also canvass for diaspora voting.
“There are other sections in the Electoral Act that are in conflict, like sections 31, 87,  whereas one of the sections says INEC in concert with other functions, should oversee the activities of the political parties and ensure that they conform with the international democracy.”
Another section says the commission has no option than to accept any candidate forwarded to it by the political parties.
“What it means, is that a political party can even forward the name of a non-Nigerian to contest an election and the commission will have no option than to accept such candidate. I foresee reforms taking place in these areas.”

We’re identifying banks, countries where stolen funds were lodged — Buhari

Talatu Usman



President Muhammadu Buhari said on Monday that his administration has taken further steps to recover looted Nigerian funds by identifying the banks and countries where the monies were lodged.
Speaking at an audience with visiting United States Congressmen at the presidential villa, Abuja, Mr. Buhari acknowledged the support and cooperation given his administration by the international community in gathering all required intelligence for tracing and recovering stolen national resources.
“We are getting cooperation from the international community, including information on ships that take crude oil from Nigeria and change direction, or pour their contents into other ships mid-stream,” he said.
“Some monies were paid to individual accounts. We are identifying the financial institutions and countries that are involved.
“I have been assured that when we get all our documents together, the United States and other countries will treat our case with sympathy,’’ the president told the Congressmen led by Darrel Issa.
President Buhari also told the lawmakers that his administration will encourage more regular meetings of the Nigeria-United States Bi-National Commission.
He said the commission could serve as a more useful platform for the promotion of bilateral trade and economic relations as well as joint cooperation in the war against terrorism.
Mr. Darrel assured President Buhari that the United States will support Nigeria against Boko Haram by providing training, intelligence and military platforms.
“We look forward to helping you in many ways to end the Boko Haram insurgency and the theft of crude oil in the Gulf of Guinea,’’ he said.

Crime and Punishment in Nigeria

The Verdict By Olusegun Adeniyi; Email: olusegun.adeniyi@thisdaylive.com
Because I would be driving to the airport last Friday morning and I was not sure the fuel in my car would take me there, I decided on Thursday evening to buy fuel from the black market. So I drove to the road linking Asokoro to Garki by Area 11 where many young “fuel merchants” were waiting. After much haggling, I eventually struck a bargain with three boys who agreed to accept N5,000 for a jerry can of 30 litres. That would translate into around N167 per litre (as against the official N87 per litre which you can hardly get anywhere in Nigeria today) but I considered it a fair deal in the circumstance.
Having been told that they were being hunted by policemen, the boys begged me to drive into a poorly lit corner of the road. Notwithstanding that I was a bit apprehensive, I felt that the boys were mere hustlers and not necessarily criminals out to harm me so I obliged their request. Even when they took a while to bring the fuel from where they kept it, I still waited. When they eventually appeared, there was a sense of unease about them that worried me. “Why are you looking scared?” I asked. One of them responded: “The police people are always after us and they have arrested many of our people.”
Although I kept asking questions, wanting to know more about the nature of their trade and the inherent risks, it was evident that they were more in a hurry to conclude their business, collect their money and go. But with almost three-quarter of the fuel discharged into my car, a pick-up van drove in almost from nowhere as seven gun-wielding policemen jumped out of the vehicle to engage the boys in what became a hot pursuit in different directions. With the police vehicle packed beside my car, I saw no fewer than 30 jerry cans of different sizes, filled with petrol which I presumed were seized from the boys selling at black market.
I decided to hang around because I had not paid for the fuel but since the police vehicle also refused to move, the boys never returned. The period of my waiting provided me ample time to reflect on what had just happened. The first question for me was whether it is a crime to be selling fuel at the black market. That question comes against the background that the boys were merely taking advantage of a problem they did not create (and in the process meeting the need of those of us who have neither the time nor the temperament to spend a whole day at fuel station). But it is a hazardous job because one of them was shot dead last month at the intersection between Maitama and Wuse in Abuja during one of such raids. Yet, these basically are young boys who live on the margins of society and cannot be held accountable for the fuel scarcity that has become our lot as a people.


Besides, assuming what the boys were doing was criminal, how many of such people have been arraigned in court in Nigeria? None! Since many of them are arrested every day, it means that their cases usually end up in police stations where they either pay to regain their freedom or are dumped there to swell the list of detained people. A corollary to that is the issue of the “exhibit”. What happens to the fuel usually seized from those boys? Do the police and other security outfits like the Civil Defence Corps whose men also pursue the boys have the right to deploy for their own use “proceeds of crime”, if we assume that selling black market is a crime in Nigeria?
That now brings me to the most important issue. As I watched the drama and waited, I expected to be accosted by the policemen when they returned to their vehicle. If by selling fuel at black market rate, the boys were committing a crime, the implication would be that the person also buying such product should be deemed to be committing a crime also. But the policemen didn’t bother about me as they entered their vehicle to wait. After a while when it occurred to me that they would not leave, I had to drive off.
Now, as I reflect on that incident and the enthusiasm with which the policemen pursued those boys, I cannot but wonder about how we have come to a situation in which the laws (including the ones that may not be in any statutes book) are made only for the poor. The message from the episode was simple: While those boys were pursued like common felons, I (as the big man in the scenario) was left alone because I was deemed to be above the law, even if the crime was an invented one. That unfortunately depicts the story of Nigeria where there is one set of laws for the rich and another set for the poor. And the problem goes even beyond the police to the courts.
Indeed, nothing demonstrates this as graphically as two contrasting verdicts delivered within an interval of five days in January 2013--one in Abeokuta, Ogun State and the other in Abuja. In Abeokuta, a magistrate courtsentenced a 49-year-old man by name Mustapha Adesina to two years in prison for stealing vegetables valued at N5,000. But five days later in Abuja, a former director of the Police PensionBoard, Mr. John Yusuf, who admitted to stealing N2 billion in the N32.8 billion police pension scam, was sentenced to two-year imprisonment with an option of N750,000 fine. From media reports, the man practically dipped his hands into his babanriga, paid his fine and was driven home in a SUV, perhaps with some drummers in tow!
In fact, no case has exemplified the rot in the Nigerian justice system than that of the pension scam. As at the time the man at the centre of the whole tragedy was declared wanted both by the police and the Senate for allegedly stealing several billions of Naira belonging to police pensioners, he was being driven around, including into Aso Rock then, in a long convoy of vehicles with contingents of policemen to guard him. That character, a mere assistant director in the civil service who absconded from duty, is now back in circulation and given the way we are in Nigeria, could even become the minister of police affairs tomorrow! The question therefore is: how can such a system dispense justice?
For sure, I have no problem with the police chasing those who steal chicken and vegetables in the market or those who sell fuel by the roadsides, assuming that is also a crime. But if the police expend a little of that energy checkmating the big men and women who conspire to steal, almost on a daily basis, about 250,000 barrels of Nigerian crude oil or their “petty cousins” who divert tanker loads of petrol from their designated depots, our society would be a better place for all of us, including them.
However, in all of us this, it is President Muhammadu Buhari that worries me. The thinking that he (with his military background and reputation as a no-nonsense man) would restore order while his deputy (also with his academic and professional background as well as reputation for standing by what is right) would help with the law aspect remains no more than mere speculations 62 clear days after they were sworn in. That perhaps explains why the criminal cartels that help themselves to our crude oil are still in business, as revealed by the president himself last week.
Ordinarily, the two most critical appointments any President makes on assumption of office are that of Finance and Justice/Attorney General but President Buhari has given no indication yet that he is ready to name such officials. In fact, he has told Nigerians that we have almost two more months to wait before he makes the appointments. This then raises questions about his recent United States trip since there was no Nigerian team in these two critical areas to engage their American counterparts. We see the same situation at home where the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, is practically left to run both monetary and fiscal policies in an economy that was already in serious trouble even before the change of guards in Aso Rock.
I know this is a touchy issue because one of President Buhari’s spokesmen said recently that it is politicians who are looking for jobs that are using journalists to raise the issue of critical appointments. But Nigerians will not be blackmailed into silence on what affects them. There is no law compelling the president to appoint all his ministers at once and I would want to believe that he cannot still be thinking of who to appoint as his finance minister, chief economic adviser, chief of staff, etc., more than four months after his election which, for the first time in our history, was not even challenged in court. Even the 15 advisers approved for him by the 7th Senate in the first week of June have not been appointed except for the NSA and that of Media while he runs his administration without a policy orientation in any sector which is almost akin to piloting a jumbo jet full of passengers without a compass or GPS.


Today, the gap between the official rate of the Naira to a Dollar and that of the black market rate is almost N50. That is a tidy sum of money to play with by anybody with some measure of connection in a nation where rent seeking is the order of the day. In the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry, it is the same: with an official rate of N87 per litre at a time many Nigerians buy a litre of the product for between N100 and N150. When you create such perverse incentives for malpractices, even if the citizens are paragons of virtue, you are likely to breed more criminals than you can deal with. That is the story of Nigeria today.  
Meanwhile, in their reaction to my piece of last week,The Multi-billion Naira Fuel Bazaar, a management staff of Mobil Nigeria Limited (reported to have diverted five trucks of PMS) called to explain their side of the story. He said the letter the company actually got from the PPMC was that six trucks were diverted and they have sent an official reply to dispute the allegation. Even if Mobil is correct (and I take their word for it), the issue here is the system that allows some operators to engage in such diversions. It is going on because those involved know that there would be no consequences for their action since the police are more interested in pursuing the “retailers” who sell such products by the roadside than the “wholesalers” who are deemed to be above the law.
To the extent that the embarrassing inequality that we have in our system today is the product of a justice administration that places those who ordinarily should be in jail (crooks, paedophiles, plain thieves and sundry others) above the rest of society, the task ahead is very daunting. And as I have stated repeatedly, I sympathise with President Buhari because of the accumulated mess he is inheriting for which there are no easy solutions. But he will succeed only if he realises that he cannot do the job alone. He must therefore learn to find the right people in every sector, especially in justice administration and economic management. And he must quickly put such team in place so that they can begin what will be a most difficult but important task, for the restoration of our country.




Beyond the Road to Arochukwu
My intervention of last week, “The Road to Arochukwu”, has elicited several responses and commendations, especially from Abia State. One young man wrote in, lamenting that his wedding is being delayed because his fiancee comes from Arochukwu and “the state of the road has kept our formal introduction on hold, due to the fact that it is impossible to ferry my aged parents and kinsmen from Imo State to embark on that deadly journey.”
However, in all the mails that I received, the most instructive one is by Mr. Ugo Okoro, who described himself as the Managing Editor of ‘Aro News’. He brought out some salient issues about the road which are very instructive. Here he goes:
“The Federal Ministry of Works on the 14th May, 2012, advertised the Arochukwu/ Ohafia road amongst several others in two national dailies (THISDAY and Daily Trust) and also in the Federal Tenders Journal.  Based on the outcome of a stringent exercise, prequalified contractors were invited to submit financial bids accordingly. The evaluation committee thereafter recommended the award of the contract to Messrs Beks Kimse (Nigeria) Limitedat a total cost of N4,775,583,250.
“On the recommendation of the Federal Ministry of Works, the project was certified and issued with the Certificate of No Objection by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP). Out of the amount appropriated for the project, the sum of N346. 5 Million, being 7 percent of the total amount was provided for the commencement of the project in the 2012 budget and was released to the contractor who immediately mobilized to site.
“On 27th March, 2013 the Federal Executive Council (FEC), at its meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, approved an additional sum of N2.2 Billion Naira for the contractors. The flag off of the road project was done on the 29th March, 2013 at Arochukwu end of the road. In attendance were former Governor T.A. Orji of Abia State, late Senator Uche Chukwumerije, then representing Abia North under whose zone the road falls into; Hon. Arua Arunsi, former member representing Arochukwu/ Ohafia Federal constituency and a representative of then Minister of Works etc.
“Presently, the contractors are yet to execute up to one kilometer of the road which is about 30 kilometers and have abandoned the project. The firm is owned by Prof. Kimse Okoko from Bayelsa State. The contract is for a duration of 24 months from the date it was signed. It was however extended by one year by the Federal Ministry of Works on 5th December, 2014 to the 6th October, 2015. The extension granted was due to the failure of the contractors to complete the project within the original 24 months validity period. Indigenes of Arochukwu have set up several committees to liaise with the contractors on the way forward with no positive response. The road can now be described as a failed project.”
The information contained in the mail raises salient issues about our country and why it is now littered with abandoned projects running into several trillions of Naira. The law says mobilization fees should be no less than 15 percent but the contractor was given 7 percent, which was more like a dash because it was not going to be enough to mobilize to site. And that is the story of several of the road projects across the country for which the National Assembly must take a fair share of the blame because of the way they practically “canibalise” budgets just to accommodate their (mostly) questionable constituency projects.
However, as I stated earlier, it is an issue we must revisit because it is at the heart of the corruption, waste and mismanagement in Nigeria today. And until we address the challenge, it would be difficult to fix critical infrastructure, including the dilapidated roads, in our country.

Can Baking Soda Be Used To Cure Cancer?

 
 
Dr. Tulio Simoncini  is famous for his cure for cancer. He said:
“Cancer is a fungus called Candida albicans, and it can be treated with sodium bicarbonate solution. ”
He is an Italian oncologist in Rome that came to conclusion that all kinds of cancer are fed by candida albicans . This fungus is the root of almost all diseases. In many researches conducted on cancer patients, it is proved that cancer and tumors are made of candida.
Simoncini’s cancer treatment is the simplest of all: Sodium bicarbonate.
 946798_382603771848300_1540780277_n_thumbHe says that cancer and tumors thrive in acidic environment. So to put an end to their comfort we should alkalize the body so that they shrink and stop multiplying. Keep in mind, this is a natural remedy for cancer.
First – Individuals with high acidity in their body are related to bad health and cancer.
Second – Individuals with less acidity and more alkaline ph level are able to fight cancer more vigorously.
Sodium bicarbonate alkalizes your body fast. People who are known to have a hard time digesting takes sodium bicarbonate. It is an antacid that is a main ingredient in many over the counter medicines. It is very cheap and can be easily purchased in any food shop or pharmacy .
Third – The friendly bacteria in your gut control 85 % of your immune system. They are responsible for releasing biotin, B-12, folic acid, vitamin K by digesting your food. They also generate the compound sodium biturate which destroys or makes cancerous cells auto destruct. The friendly bacteria will not be as friendly if the ph level the body (intestine) is acidic.
Forth – The friendly bacteria work at night too. They digest large quantities of microorganisms that have been taken from food during day time. The best thing about friendly bacteria is that they feed on yeast or fungus, like candida. These best friends of ours are the number one fighters against yeast infestation.
How does candida cause cancer?
This fungus called Candida has the ability to break out of the intestine and get into the blood stream. It is practically everywhere in the body and outside on the skin as well. It is placed around the outer membranes of the cells, stopping receptor cites from performing.

Oregano oil and cinnamon are great at fighting candida. 25 % of type 2- diabetes patients showed to improve after using cinnamon. Candida releases toxins and high amounts of sugar, there fore diabetic and cancer patients suffer more or can’t make it compared to the others with normal sugar level. It is known that sugar generates acidity and acidity is a good environment for candida to thrive in.
Candida and yeasts or fungus are anaerobes. They do not need oxygen.
By entering the blood stream, Candida can colonize certain areas in the body and cause oxygen level reduction .
Now, candida being the best food for cancer blocks oxygen from reaching the cells thus making the cells alternate from aerobes to anaerobes . Meaning that they will produce energy for the cancerous cells which is not based in oxygen.
From all this it is clear that Oxygen is a strong anti cancer fighter.

It is Otto Warburg, the Nobel prize winner in 1931 that told the world that Oxygen kills cancerous cells.
It is obvious that people who often take antibiotics in their life are at risk of getting cancer. Antibiotics make the unfriendly bacteria and candida grow fast while weakening the immune system in the gut by ruining the friendly bacteria. So women that have taken antibiotics more than 25 times in their lives, are at risk of developing breast cancer. This was concluded in a research conducted by  Cancer Watch.
Doctor Simoncini knew all this very well. He proved that yeast thrive in acidic environment. Candida is yeast or fungus and cancer is fed by Candida . Sodium bicarbonate  is the best natural alkalizing product. So if you destroy the acidic environment, Candida can’t survive and cancer cells will die.
It is the discovery of the century that he gave to the world. Of course  he was imprisoned in Italy. The cheap cure was not in favor of the drug industry.
