Rev. Uma Ukpai of Victory Cathedral Fellowship Center, Uyo, Akwa Ibom, on Thursday announced that the church would stop communion for members who had not collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

Ukpai made the announcement during a church service in Uyo and said that it was unpatriotic for any Nigerian eligible voter not to participate in the electoral process.

He called on Nigerians to use the opportunity provided by the rescheduling of the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to collect their PVCs to enable them chose their leaders through the polls.
He said, “The 2015 general election is too important for a Nigerian of voting age not to participate in electing their political leaders for the next four years.
‘’If you are a true member of this fellowship and you have not collected your PVC, know that you will not partake in our communion service.
‘’We must take this election serious because we must rise up and protect our future.”
The clergyman urged politicians to eschew violence during electioneering. (NAN)

A man identified as Yakubu Samuel was today (in the morning) crushed to death by an Ebute Metta-bound train coming from Ijoko in Ogun State at Fagba level crossing in Iju Ishaga, Lagos State.

The man was a shift leader of a security outfit and attached to CLAM Church in Omole area of Lagos.Samuel, who was riding a power bike marked BDG 601QC was said to be coming from Abule Egba and ignored the Nigeria Railway Corporation traffic control officer who stopped all vehicles to pave way for the train to pass.

He ran into the train and was crushed to death on the spot.

According to an eye witness, Mr. Bola Ojo, rather than exercise patience the deceased tried to cross the level crossing and thereby paid with his life.

“Instead of him to wait for the train to pass he was in a hurry. Now he has lost his life,” said Ojo.Sympathisers at the scene used his mobile phone to call one of his brothers who said he was working at Apapa and he was told that his brother had an accident and needed urgent assistance.

Policemen from Abattoir and Oko Oba divisions arrived the scene after the accident to control the large crowd that had gathered.see Graphic Photo at> http://www.chichinwaafrica.com/2015/02/graphic-photo-train-crushes-motorcycle.html
