CRUEL DEATH • 18-year-old nursing mother dies of first degree burns after woman from hell set her ablaze By FEMI FOLARANMI, Yenagoa Tuesday, September 25, 2007 Nursere Victor before her death Photo: Sun News Publishing More Stories on This Section An 18-year-old nursing mother, Nursere Victor, recently had a sad end when an angry woman bathed her with petrol and set her ablaze. She died of first degree burns. Daily Sun investigations revealed that the deceased, an indigene of Agobiri, in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, had a six-month-old baby for a middle-aged man in the community. They were, however, not married. On the day of the incident, the man was said to have seen Victor talking with a sales boy in a shop in the community and got jealous. Suspecting that the duo could be having an affair, he allegedly reported the sales boy to his madam, identified as Roseline Tari. The woman allegedly, thereafter, accused the boy of stealing her money and lavishing it on his woman friend. The woman was said to have targeted the deceased and emptied a keg of fuel on her. Thereafter, she set the victim ablaze, probably, for being the beneficiary of the crime she accused her sales boy of. Eyewitness account said the frantic cries of help from Victor attracted sympathizers, who rushed her to Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa. It was gathered that although she made the 45 minutes journey to the hospital, nurses on duty demanded for a police report before she could be attended to. By the time the police report came, her condition had worsened, which made medical officials at FMC, Yenagoa to refer her to University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, where she was kept at the intensive care unit. She however, died on September 6. Sources stated that when the suspect got wind of what happened to Victor, she attempted to flee but the villagers arrested her and later handed her over to men of the State Criminal Investigations Department. The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ininbong Ibokette, who confirmed the story, said there was no way the police, would condone criminal acts. He said that the suspect was undergoing interrogation after which she would be charged to court.

Donzman: Oh yeah. . . .I forgot, it is not Yoruba land. Lagos is now Ibibio land, Igbo land and Idoma land. It has been uprooted from its' present location and placed firmly across the Niger, not so?? This obsession with Lagos, is what I can't understand. Last time I checked, I did not see where the map of Nigeria had been re-drawn, to place Lagos firmly outside the South-west. When it suits you, you claim one Nigeria. When it doesn't suit you, you guys claim other ethnic groups are bad and the nation should be divided along ethnic lines, because you don't like the present arrangement. It would be nice if you all could make up your minds, once & for all. |

willywilly: Spoken like a true slowpoke! Of course, all those people of the South-West & old Mid-western region merely folded their arms and watched while the Ibibio, Ogoni, Igbo, Ndoni, Ikwerre carried all their resources to the former federal capital to develop it! *Hiss* Please tell us the names of those who do not want these other ethnic groups, you propaganda junkie. And let us know your dirty plans for provoking another round of hatred and blood-letting, you mumu!! |

@Laudate Nobody is obsessed with Lagos, Lagos is at the core of this issue because it is a MULTIETHNIC state. How can you say it is right for only one ethnicity to have the right to lead in a multiethnic state?. . .You need to go and look up what it means to be a country of different constituent ethnicities, you dumb bigot. By your reasoning, Irish folks who expressed disgust at a Nigerian becoming mayor over a town over in Ireland are right. Stupidity! |

Donzman:hope sey everyone don see wetin that Goat head Champion of one Nigeria pretender dey talk. Una don see their Education and Civilization!!!. the guy don turn new Mr Anthony Enahoro. Ijaw, Ogoni, Ibo,Ikwere,Ibibbio,Anang, Adoni,Efik, and all they people that comes from the Former Eastern region, the former multiethnic capital you helped developed with your sweat and resources, they are telling you now, your Obsessed with it, and that you have no right there. Remember, this people were they Champion of one Nigeria (the New Mr Anthony Enahoro). They have made it clear to you by saying " pack your luggage and go". They are sounding the warning, the earlier you people carry your luggage and go the better before another wave of Genocide will start. Already Fulani/Hausa Military and their Western Nigeria Collaborators are carrying out systematic killing of Ijaw and The Ogoni youths as of this moment. |

Since you are already having nightmares of genocide in your sleep, let me give you one piece of advice. Write your will. Do it before it is too late! It is obvious that you will die of hypertension over nothing, due to your imaginary nonsense. |

Donzman: Since you were the one who turned it into a multi-ethnic state and relocated it across the Niger, kindly point us to the part of the constitution that deals with the demographic composition of Lagos. Going by your reasoning, obviously Lagos was a vast, empty wasteland devoid of people before it became a multi-ethnic state. Last time, I checked nobody was preventing anyone from any ethnic group from standing for elections in Lagos state. Or did you offer to contest for elections into any office in Lagos, and someone denied you the ticket because you were from a particular ethnic group? Tell us o! As for the Irish folks, please go to Ireland and debate their stupidity with them. Am sure they would give you a standing ovation! |

dimcod: Another slowpoke. I can't help laughing when I read responses like this. Provide proof to show conclusively that Laudate comes from Yoruba land. And please state what part of Yorubaland that Laudate comes from o! Tell us the name of the town, local govt. area and the street, too. Don't forget to add the name of the traditional ruler, while you are at it. Every correct answer gets twenty marks!!  Mumu! |

grafikdon: Oh so you noticed that, too? Dimcod rhymes with xtycod. Wonder if they are one & the same person. And I guess the 'dim' in the name is short for dim-witted. You know another thing that makes me laugh?  They are too lazy to conduct their own research. Anyone can read the following books to update their knowledge base. The ‘New’ Lagos Town Council 1950-1953, in Falola, T. & Salm, S. (eds.) Nigerian Cities (Asmara, 2003), pgs.255-270. History of Lagos State, in Odumosu, T. (ed.) Lagos State in Maps (Ibadan, 1996), pg:7-10. The Central Awori Group, in Odumosu Ibid. pg:36-41. Rural Settlement and Development in Modern Lagos, in Odumosu Ibid. pg:51-55. Stages in the Economic History of Lagos, in Noah, A.O. (ed.) Fundamentals of General Studies (Lagos, 1995), pgs:147-151. (With S. Ologunro). “The Career of Seriki Abass (Faremi Williams) in Badagry, 1870-1919,” in Ogunremi, G.O. et al; (eds.) Badagry: The History, Culture and Tradition of an Ancient City (Ibadan, 1994), 354-364. Donzman: Donzman needs to learn about how Lagos came into existence, know the original inhabitants like the Aworis, Egun, 'Saro' etc. and acquaint himself with the fact that Lagos stopped being a capital since 1991, over fifteen years ago. Someone also needs to remind him that only Lagos Island up to Iddo terminus alone, was the former colony of Lagos. Other areas like Ikeja, Epe, Mushin, Ogudu, Yaba etc. were all firmly under the old Western region in the sixties, just like other parts of Yoruba land. Lagos as a state came into existence in 1967. In fact many historians classify Lagos as "an old Yoruba town." Anyone can read Encyclopedia Brittanica online, as well as many other articles about Lagos, to get a clearer picture. Yet, he still wakes up and says "all I'm saying is that it's not Yoruba land. . ." Well, only God knows what it is then, since Donzman has declared to us, what it is not. As a non-Yoruba Lagosian, I wouldn't make that kind of silly remark without proof. One needs to be sensitive to the feelings of the indigenes of a place, and live in mutual harmony and respect with them, by recognising their history and acknowledging the fact that they arrived there before you did. Last time I checked, Mercy Eneli an Igbo woman from Obosi in Anambra state, was a Mayor in Lagos City Council in the 'sixties and even has a popular street, named after her in Surulere area of Lagos. Maybe Donzman can tell us the names of all who prevented her from standing for election in Lagos, during that period and how many non-Yoruba Lagosians offered themselves up for election and were denied a chance to contest, based on their ethnic background. I often tease my Yoruba friends who hail from Lagos & Isale Eko, as[i] 'Eko for show' [/i] or party rockers, as a joke, but I wouldn't insult their sensibilities by denying that their area is not part of Yoruba land, or trying to act as if it is a so-called 'empty' region located in the middle of God-knows-where. 1 Like 1 Share |

@Willywilly a.k.a Freewilly, Please do not quote me out of context. Highlight the entire post I made, state clearly the issue that led to that statement, before you take one sentence out of the whole piece and wave it in the air as if Christopher Columbus just discovered America.

@Laudate You have problems with reasoning, major problems. What is so hard to understand? Donzman never said there weren't people occupying Lagos since God knows when. Donzman is saying that present day Lagos is multiethnic as multiethnic can get and the leadership of Lagos state should represent that multiethnicity. If your reasoning is solid, then you will have to agree that a Nigerian guy becoming mayor in Ireland is wrong by extension, do you agree with that? All these essays you're writing means NOTHING. Do you agree that the leadership of Lagos should reperesent the ethnic composition of the state because Lagos is part of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not Republic of Yorubaland. Lagos is part of Nigeria and at such, every Nigerian ideally should have equal rights there. |
| Re: Is Port Harcout Not An Igboland? by debosky(m): 2:48am On Sep 27, 2007 |
@ Donzman I don't know of any law/regulation stopping a non-yoruba candidate from governing Lagos or contesting for office. if such a candidate feels he will get the support of the electorate, let him step out and campaign. What you 'feel' and 'expect' may not meet up with the realities on ground. Multiculturalism does not instantly or always translate to a reflection in the government. In BC here in Canada, the Chinese make up a larger percentage of the population than the white 'caucasians', yet they do not hold even 10% of the positions and offices. That simply means that there is more than plain old ethnicity and numbers when it comes to who gets into office/power. I am not saying others cannot take positions, but it will not happen by charity or 'quota', the current AC govt is doing some things in that regard, but it will take quite a while before things get to that level. Changes on the local government level would seem more plausible to begin with before speaking about the state-wide level. |

@ topic who says the Ikwere people are Igbo? the average Ikwere man gets very upset if you call him Igbo. PORT HARCOURT IS NOT PART OF IGBOLAND PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! the city of Port-Harcourt is jointly owned by the Ikwere and Okrika people (off Ijaw stock;who are found at the waterfront areas of Abuloma, marine base, amadi-ama etc) Rivers State is Rivers state and is not and can never be part of Igboland, Please do not get me started! |
| Re: Is Port Harcout Not An Igboland? by Nobody: 1:23am On Oct 01, 2007 |
Donzman: An idealist. But on a more serious note, nobody played dumb here, guy. From your posts on this thread it seems you are a mite out of touch with the situation on ground. Maybe you should contest for Lagos state governorship in 2011. Or better yet, Kano State. One Nigeria.  |
| Re: Is Port Harcout Not An Igboland? by laudate: 7:31pm On Oct 04, 2007 |
Donzman: Nah!!  You are the one that has problems processing logical thought. Now go back to my previous post where I told you that Lagos had an Igbo mayor, in the sixties. Read everything I wrote there. Was that a mono-cultural activity or simply multi-culturalism/multi-ethnicism at play? Try to also read one of my previous posts («No. #46 on: September 26, 2007, 03:50 PM »), where I spoke about Igbo people owning property in Lagos, and then see if you can understand the points I made, there.  The reason I made that response was because, you had made the following comment in a previous post: Donzman:Do you remember? You were the one belly-aching about how people from other ethnic groups should be allowed to contest elections. Am yet to see anyone step out and claim that he or she was denied a chance to contest in Lagos, because he or she was not an indigene. The Fresh Party run by Chris Okotie fielded an Igbo woman married to an Edo man, as their governorship candidate in Lagos, during the last elections. Did anyone within her party, deny her the chance to contest on the platform of the party, simply because she was a non-indigene? Please go and do some research before you make any responses here. You have started this same pattern of posting illogical arguments, like you did on other threads. Its' a pity, really. Try & free your mind.  And finally, stop clutching at straws. No one is debating the merit or demerit of a Nigerian becoming a mayor in Ireland. Kindly remember that I personally gave you an example of an Igbo woman becoming a mayor in Lagos, in the past. So let me repeat the piece of advice I gave you earlier: Free your mind! |

@ Debosky, Abeg, leave matter for Mathias, jare. May those who have ears to hear. . . .hear. Those who also have eyes to 'see', let them see. People would rather rely on stereotypes, hearsay and backward, ingrained attitudes, rather than look around or study the reality on ground, to know the true state of things. Just siddon dey look, my brother. At first, the excuse was that Lagos was not a yoruba town. I posted links and research studies that had been conducted by various people, to show that it was one, according to historians. Later, they came up with another excuse that people from other ethnic groups should be allowed to contest elections. It was pointed out that this had been done in the past. In the same vein, another 'ideology that people from different ethnic backgrounds should be given 'property rights' in Lagos, was also thrown up. Again, it was pointed out that this has been going on for ages. To the best of my knowledge, once you have your money you are free to buy land, houses or shops in Lagos. Property transactions are freely advertised. In fact, let me see. . . .I have lost count of the number of streets (not houses o!) named after people of other ethnic groups, in Lagos. Some folks like Donzman are bent on making it seem as if those from other ethnic groups, have been deprived of certain basic rights in Lagos, even when there is evidence pointing to the contrary. Like I said before: siddon look. Let us see what they will come up with, next!  |

They must possess their possession. Abuja has fallen with 75 % owned by them. Lagos is owned by them 40 % and PH at least by 50 %. Go figure who and who own houses in PH and sorrounding small towns like Eleme and Obigbo. Either one Nigeria or nothing. QED. |
| Re: Is Port Harcout Not An Igboland? by ibis: 1:07pm On Oct 17, 2007 |
@ow11 you have spoken well @ FSU so your theory is that based on the number of property people from a particular tribe own in any state they do not indigenously belong to, they now own that state and can lay claim to it as part of their fathers land? please, igbo people, buy all the houses in ph if you like. it still does not make you a "son of the soil" come and take port harcourt, we are waiting! |
