 Culture › What Is Wrong With The ''village''? by Albedo27(op): 12:10pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
PRELUDE Moses noticed a major pain on his heel that Saturday evening he returned from the village after the funeral ceremony of his uncle and took some Over The Counter (OTC) drug. The next day, the pain grew worse even after the various medications as well as ointments applied. When it became unbearable, he called the attention of his neighbor, Mathew who told him that it was not ordinary. Moses suddenly remembered that this strange illness which started just the day he came back from the village, gave some symptoms even during the ceremony. He recounted that he felt a slight pain as he got up from where he sat that day. Fear gripped him; he was more jolted when he remembered that a year ago, his colleague in the office after attending a traditional marriage in the village, complained of some pains and died some days later. Oh no! This must be a poison. What have i done to these people? It now appears that the village is a place where people visit and come back with a mysterious illness or dangerous misfortune. This is the definition given by one the patients i visited once who suffered from an "unknown illness" Earlier than now, i used to find it difficult to understand why people derive joy in inflicted harm on their neighbor. But i have come to appreciate this truth now: There is evil in the world and human beings, not objects, are its vehicle of transmission. My uncle, after molding blocks to build a house, was struck with a chronic Typhoid fever for two years, and his ambition came to naught over ten years now. To erect a building in the village, one must perform "rituals" like sprinkling of water and/or salt on the land for fear of these "village people" who may plant charms that attract sickness, death or misfortune! Is is the will of God? THE VILLAGE AND THE EVIL MACHINATIONS During the traditional marriage ceremony of one of my relations, i stumbled into a meeting of elders where a secret plan was being made on how the will pretend to drink the palm wine, and after taking it to the groom, he equally pretends to drink but will eventually pour it out on the ground. In fact, two cups were provided for the "drama". When i asked why, i was told that people send sickness and death with ocultic powers through the air into the cup, which if taken, will result disastrous consequences. And do you know? It happens mostly in the villages. Oh God! [/color] What is wrong with these villages?[color=#000000] It is said that some persons plant charms in people's farms, pathways, usual village square seats, plots of land; throw invisible pins to peoples' body etc, just to destroy them. Are not stories told of those who transmit evil charms through ordinary handshake? To offer gifts or money to ''those in the village" are feats for courageous persons for fear that it will be used as point of contact against them. Indeed, stories like these are no longer strange to us. But what remains strange is this place called "village" and i will always ask: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VILLAGE? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT MAKE US FEAR THE "VILLAGE"? HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE IN THE VILLAGE? |

| Culture › The ''assam Rape Festival'' In India Begins This Week. by Albedo27(op): 3:06pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
Men in India are already beginning to celebrate as the annual Assam Rape Festival is just days away. Every non- married girl age 7-16 will have the chance to flee to safety or get raped. Madhuban Ahluwalia who heads up the annual festival told reporters why the event is so important. “This is a long time tradition in Assam dating back thousands of years,” says Ahluwalia. “We rape the evil demons out of the girls, otherwise they will cheat on us and we will be forced to kill them. So it is necessary for everyone.” The Assam Festival began in 43 BC when Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu raped everyone in his village of Doomdooma. Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu is remembered every year at this event, in fact the trophy given to the man with the most rapes is called “The Baalkrishan”. 24-year-old Harikrishna Majumdar told reporters that he has been training all year for this event. “I’m going to get the most rapes this year. I’ve been practicing all year. I rape my sister and her friends every day. I will be rape superstar number one! I will get the Baalkrishan prize this year for sure!” 12-year-old Jaitashri Majumdar told reporters she almost made it through last year’s festival without getting raped. “I came so close to not getting raped. I almost got to the ‘rape-free-zone’ at the edge of town, but at the last minute 9 men jumped on me and raped me. Luckily I am just recovering now so I can participate in this year’s events, otherwise I would be put to death by stoning.” 34-year-old Brian Barnett from Toronto who is visiting Assam on business told reporters he will be missing the festivities this year. “My company did not tell me anything about a rape festival happening while I was here. Are you serious, a rape festival? I’m getting the f*ck out of this backwards country tonight.” India is second in reported rapes in the world only behind the United States, though critics are quick to point out that is only because most rapes in India go unreported. http://www./post-tittle-237.xhml |

| Politics › Govt To Sell Nigeria House In NY by Albedo27(op): 11:54am On Nov 13, 2013 |
It is troubling to hear that the Nigeria House in New York, USA, is up for sale. The reported planned sale of the property, which serves as the official residence of Nigeria’s permanent representative to the United Nations in New York has been under consideration since 2010. It is claimed that the property is in very bad repair, due to “a period of deliberate neglect”. This is unfortunate. Located in the exquisite Tarry Town in Westchester County, an area that is the preserve of the wealthy in New York, the property sits on over 16 acres of land. It was bought in 1960, when the Tafawa Balewa government made Africa the focus of Nigeria’s foreign policy and did everything to exhibit seriousness at the United Nations. It is sad that 52 years after its purchase, some government officials are scheming to sell it. What is not clear is why. The common conjecture is that, like almost every aspect of Nigeria’s existence, it has suffered incalculable decay over the years. This is unfortunate. It is said that a whopping N350m is required to fix it. That in itself is criminally high, but the raison d’être of this can be found in the more confounding revelation that the government ‘smuggled’ a higher quote of N2.7bn into the last budget for the rehabilitation of the crumbling building. We suspect that the aim was to deter any attempt to repair the property and encourage its cheap sale instead. We reckon this to be a ploy by those in the corridors of power, to convert the house by proxy to their private property. Phantom sales are what successive Nigerian governments have done with national assets worldwide. Under the guise of paying off some legal debt or for services rendered by foreign partners, they are sold and the money lodged in private accounts. At times, the proceeds are said to have been confiscated by ghost creditors, who got court orders to do so. Such an asinine practice! Nigerians will not forget in a hurry how the government, under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, held a bazaar in the name of monetisation, without thinking through its implications for succeeding public officers. Recently, the Federal Capital Territory coughed out N3bn to build new houses for principal officers of the National Assembly. The proposed sale is deceitful and meant to fleece the masses, who paid for the property in the first place. As representatives of the people, members of the National Assembly should frustrate the plans of the economic saboteurs and enemies of Nigeria bent on selling the property. Clearly, it is within the purview of their oversight responsibility to ensure probity and accountability in governance. It is a much better idea to fund the renovation of the property, after a transparent and competitive bid might have been conducted. Also, the issue of ‘false budgeting’ highlights serious moral issues that should be investigated. http://leadership.ng/news/131113/don-t-sell-nigeria-house |

| Christianity Etc › Why Don't Missionary Schools Observe Muslim Public Holidays? by Albedo27(op): 11:33am On Oct 15, 2013 |
Missionary schools today are open for academic activities, despite the public holiday declared by Federal Govt to mark Eid Ui Kabir. I attended Missionary secondary school and right from then, i have observed this religious anomaly so to say. At that time, when our friends in public schools were at home enjoying the 2 days holiday, we would be in school cracking our brains. Same still goes on today. I have always thought that public holiday declared by Federal Govt. is binding on every citizen of this country includind the foreigners. In the Southern part of this country, though i don't know much about the Northern part, Missionary schools go about their normal academic activitiies. Although Christian Religious public holidays mostly fall within the academic break/vacation as in the case of Easther and Christmas periods, to emphatically say Islamic schools don't also observe the holiday when Christians are celebrating. Honestly, this mind-boggling question needss your religious or otherwise answer/contributions. |

| Politics › Man Caught With Human Body Parts Confesses. by Albedo27(op): 3:39pm On Sep 24, 2013 |
The quest for wealth has sent many into taking desperate steps as residents of Masfala area of Ibadan, Oyo State were shocked to their marrow on Tuesday, September 17, when a polythene bag containing human parts was discovered in an uncompleted building by policemen who stormed the area at noon. They were further amazed when the culprit turned out to be an herbalist, Abideen Raheem (35), who lives in a building very close to where the human parts were found. The parts were two hands cut from the wrists down. The suspect is currently helping homicide detectives at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, in their investigations into the case. Crime Reports gathered that information about the presence of the body parts in the neighbourhood first got to Operation Burst operatives. They were joined by detectives from Ogbere police station, and when confronted with the body parts, Raheem confessed that he was the one who put them in the polythene bag but claimed that he took them from a dead body he found at Ibadan Toll Gate area. When detectives went to the spot he claimed to have seen the dead body, no carcass was found, an indication that the suspect was economical with the truth. Raheem however opened up at the CID during interrogation, confessing that he removed the hands and head from a corpse in a grave at Muslim cemetery at Aba Onde area on Monday September 9 and hid them beside the cemetery. He revealed that he went back a week after, precisely on September 16 to take the hands while he still kept the head there. Police sources told Crime Reports that the head had been recovered from where it was kept, but the identity of the corpse remains unknown. In an interview with Crime Reports, the deceased said it was his quest to become rich that pushed him to committing the act, saying that he knew he was in trouble when police came to arrest him. He also said that the act was his first attempt. The Ibadan indigene, who is married with three children, said he was an herbalist and also into poultry business. “I learnt the profession from a herbalist who is dead. My poultry business failed during last Ramadan period as I lost 100 birds. “I went to Muslim burial ground at Aba Onde to exhume a corpse from a grave. I cut the hands and the head. I used my hands to dig the grave and cut the parts with the knife I took there. The corpse was already decomposing so it was not difficult. I wanted to use them for money ritual for myself. “The Baba who trained me said if I got those parts, I would burn the hands along with a snail, a turtle and Sawepepe leaves and mix the ash with black soap. I would then put the soap on the head and would be using it to litter the floor of my room so that my business would get be boosted by the number of the clients that would be flocking my office for consultation,” he narrated. Though he said he regretted his action, he stated that he would not have known that God existed indeed if he had not been caught. He pleaded for mercy from the government, promising not to do such again. Confirming the story, the police image maker, Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor said that the state police commissioner, Mohammed Indabawa, had ordered the State CID to conduct further investigations into the case, adding that the suspect would be charged appropriately after the conclusion of investigations. http://www./why-i-wanted-to-use-human-parts-for-mone-xhtml |
| Sports › Ethiopia, Nigeria Battle For World Cup Place. by Albedo27(op): 5:32pm On Sep 16, 2013 |
Giantkillers Ethiopia were drawn against Nigeria Monday in the 2014 World Cup Africa zone play-offs. Ivory Coast face Senegal, Tunisia meet Cameroon, Ghana tackle Egypt and Burkina Faso play Algeria in the other ties created by a Cairo draw. The outcome means the five 2010 qualifiers, Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, can make it to the global football showcase again. South Africa also competed at the last tournament, but only because a World Cup place is automatically reserved for the host nation. First legs are set for October and the return matches for November with the winners qualifying for the 2014 finals in Brazil. Ethiopia were the only side to upset the seeding in the mini-league previous stage, finishing two points ahead of top-ranked South Africa. But they will face much tougher opponents in Nigeria, who beat Ethiopia 2-0 en route to winning the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last February. While the ‘Super Eagles’ use a mix of local and Europe-based stars, the bulk of the ‘Walias Antelopes’ squad is home based. Didier Drogba-captained Ivory Coast will draw comfort from their dominance of Senegal in a 2013 Cup of Nations qualifier. The ‘Elephants’ won 4-2 in Abidjan and were two goals ahead in Dakar when crowd violence forced the game to be abandoned during the second half. The west African derby pits French coaches Sabri Lamouchi of Ivory Coast and Alain Giresse of Senegal against each other. Egypt edged Ghana 1-0 when they clashed in the 2010 Cup of Nations final with Mohamed ‘Geddo’ Nagy snatching a late winner. Ghana, who reached the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals, are looking powerful with Andre and Jordan Ayew, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Michael Essien available again. A major handicap for Egypt has been the lack of crowd support with home games played behind closed doors or in front of tiny crowds due to security concerns. Tunisia must find a coach before hosting Cameroon as Nabil Maaloul quit after a home loss to Cape Verde Islands last weekend. The Cape Verdeans were later disqualified for fielding a suspended defender, allowing Tunisia back into the competition. Former Dutch star Ruud Krol, who coaches local club CS Sfaxien, is the man Tunisian officials want as they seek a fifth World Cup appearance. Cameroon captain and star Samuel Eto’o, 32, announced his retirement last week amid reports that he disagreed with some selections of German coach Volker Finke. But with a record seventh World Cup appearance by an African team beckoning, it would be no surprise if efforts were made to change the mind of the Chelsea striker. Burkina Faso are a rapidly improving African side under Belgian coach Paul Put and hope to build on reaching the 2013 Cup of Nations final when they face Algeria. Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic coaches Algeria — one of six foreigners involved while Ethiopia, Ghana and Nigeria rely on locals Sewnet Bishaw, Kwesi Appiah and Stephen Keshi. DRAW Ivory Coast v Senegal Ethiopia v Nigeria Tunisia v Cameroon Ghana v Egypt Burkina Faso v Algeria First leg: Oct 11-15, second: Nov 15-19 |

Albedo27: Blessing Okagbare’s exploits at the recentlyhttp://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/assessing-the-performance-of-nigerian-women-in-sports/ |
| Sports › Assessing The Performance Of Nigerian Women In Sports. by Albedo27(op): 5:03pm On Aug 28, 2013 |
Blessing Okagbare’s exploits at the recently concluded International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) championship in Moscow, Russia, was widely hailed by sports enthusiasts and stakeholders. Blessing won silver and bronze medals in long jump and 200 metres respectively, thus ending Nigeria’s 14-year-old medal drought in the IAAF championships. Nigeria last won a medal in 1999 when Gloria Alozie won silver in the women’s 100 metres hurdles, while Francis Obikwelu got the bronze in the men’s 200 metres at Seville, Spain. Some stakeholders described Okagbare as indeed a `Blessing’ to Nigeria as her performance placed Nigeria 24th on the overall medal table. Chief Nicodemus Omenka, a former Commissioner for Youth and Sports in Ebonyi, said that Okagbare’s recent feat had returned Nigeria to its glorious days in athletics. “She has returned us to the days of Innocent Egbunike, Chidi Imoh, the Ezinwa brothers, Mary Onyali, Chioma Ajunwa, Christy Opara-Thompson, Falilat Ogunkoya, among others. “These were the days that the nation was sure of medals in major international competitions which was climaxed with Ajunwa’s historic gold medal at the Atlanta ‘96 Olympic Games,’’ he said. Dominic Ukwuome, Athletics Chief Coach of the Ebonyi Sports Council, said that Okagbare’s performances had eclipsed the sad tales of London 2012 Olympic Games, and other recent competitions. Some analysts have argued that Okagbare succeeded where her male counterparts failed, and had entered the annals of Nigerian athletics as one of the females who did the nation proud at the international competition. They listed others to include: Chioma Ajunwa, the first Nigerian to win an Olympic gold medal (long jump at the 1996 Atlanta Games), and the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal in a field event. Mary Onyali also won the gold medal in 100 metres in the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada. She was the first Nigerian woman to compete in five Olympics, clinching 12 medals from various competitions with eight gold medals. Falilat Ogunkoya was Nigeria’s 400 metres queen and still holds the African record of 49.10 sec in the 400 metres event. Fatima Yusuf won a gold medal each in the 400 metres event at the 1990 World Junior Championship, and at the 1991 All African Games. She participated in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, winning silver and bronze respectively. In football, Mercy Akide starred for Nigeria in three FIFA Women’s World Cups, two Olympic football events, and won three African titles with the Super Falcons. She was named African Women’s Footballer of the Year’’ in 2002 by CAF, and was appointed an ambassador for women’s football in 2005 by FIFA. Another football heroine is Perpetua Nkwocha, who played in three African Women’s Football Championship. Linda Ogugua and Mfon Udoka were known for their feats in basketball. They participated in the 2004 Summer Olympics. Udoka was first in rebounding and second in scoring points. The Monu sisters (Ngozi and Uche) set the pace in swimming, an event that is not common among Nigerians. Ngozi participated in the 2000 and 2008 Summer Olympics setting the fastest time by any Nigerian in the 50 metres freestyle event. It is the views of most stakeholders that Nigerian women were capable of bringing more laurels to the country if given more encouragement. Victor Orji, President of the Federation of Public Service Games (FEPSGA), said that female athletes needed more attention from the government and the society. “So far, they have fared well with the limited resources they have; it is just that the support they got was not enough compared to what their male counterparts receive. Mrs Dilichukwu Onyedinma, Chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) corroborated when she said that women footballers should enjoy as much as their male counterparts. “Women’s football in Nigeria should be enjoying what the men are enjoying because the senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, qualified for the World Cup the same year it had its first international outing. “But it took the senior male national team, the Super Eagles, 40 years to qualify for the World Cup. “Also, the Super Falcons have won the African Women Championship six times, while the Super Eagles won the African Cup of Nations three times. “So, we should be given the attention we deserve and not what we are experiencing,’’ she said. Ebenezer Morakinyo, first Vice President of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF), argued that the problem with women’s participation in sports is the failure of the nation to appreciate women’s achievement. “Their contributions cannot be over-emphasised as they do not only participate, but they have also succeeded in sports administration. “But the problem we have in this country is that we do not sing praises of our women when they win laurels for us at both individual and team sports. “I think people should be able to do a kind of comparative study to know how well the women and men contributed in sports development in this country. “The study should not only be in sports administration, but also in participation and winning laurels; I will not be surprised if the women have an edge over the men,’’ he said. More women should be encouraged to show more interest in sports as female athletes had done the nation proud in international competitions. It is on record that Nigeria’s first Olympic gold medal was won by a female athlete. (NAN Features) By Bushrah Yusuf, News Agency of Nigeria. |
