A 27-year-old pregnant woman suffered burns to 45 per cent of her body after she set herself aflame over her husband’s alleged extra-marital affair.

Cythia Njoki sustained injuries in her hands, abdomen, thighs and face after attempting to commits suicide in her house at Langalanga estate using Kerosene after her husband failed to explain where he spent the Saturday night, August 14.

Ms Njoki said her husband, a mechanic, failed to return home that night and when he came on Sunday evening, he kept on calling a woman she suspected was having an affair with him. In anger, she went into their bedroom, poured kerosene on her body and set herself alight.

"I had an issue with my husband after he failed to report home and on coming, he continued to call a woman he was having a relationship with. I was angry and burnt myself," said Njoki who was in deep pain at Rift Valley Provincial Hospital.

Nursing officer in charge of the ward, Jenipher Mathenge said the patient was received on Sunday night at around 8pm in a critical condition.

"The patient was received in a very critical condition, with her hands, face, abdomen and thighs burnt. Her fingers are also totally burnt," Mathenge said.

She said the Ms Njoki, who is six months pregnant also has breathing problems after she inhaled hot air. They are investigating the status of the unborn baby after they noticed the foetus had irregular heart beat.

"The patient is pregnant and we are conducting further investigations to know the status of the unborn child," she said.

The patient's mother Mary Wangui said she rushed to the hospital immediately after she was informed about the incident but could not communicate with Njoki because she had breathing difficulties.

Ms Wangui said prior to the incident, Njoki had shared with her the problems she was going through due to the alleged promiscuity. She asked the husband what happened but he did not give a clear explanation, claiming to have received a phone call from a woman whom Njoki suspected was his lover.

Kenya na wa these days o.

Kenya again?? Hmmmmm.

KnowAll:
Yardual was a Brigadier then while most d other officers like OBJ were Lt General. It is extraordinary for a[b] Brigadier[/b] to become d no 2 man but then precautions had to be taken.

He was double promoted from Lt. Col to Brigadier. Danjuma & some others were senior to Shehu then.

Remember even if you have two Lt. Colonels, one could be senior if he was made Lt Col first.

While assuaging Northern angst, it also ruined military ethos of seniority. That a junior could be put ahead to suit Northern/religious interest.
It was a downward spiral from there.

A Christian, J. T. Useni who was senior in military but junior in army politics was overlooked & Abdusalam made head of state.

nzemila:
But PDP can never learn their lesson.... the same certificate wahala that made them lose to APC, they should concentrate their power in what they will do for the people not all this cheap gossip making opponent popular. PDP always finding fault with certificate since 109AD.

After they lost, how is Nigeria faring today? Any light or jobs under a new party? Is it just about ruling or performance to benefit the masses?

Can you honestly say this govt has made life better for the masses than the last?

Until we generally begin fighting for justice and truth as citizens, the elite with continue to make politics do or die. Because they can act with impunity with our support (silence, active support, inaction, tolerating their shenanigans, etc).

Is it normal to not have any certificate when looking for a job in the MDAs or private sector?

We should for once forget about about political affiliation and put Nigeria first.

If so many top political candidates cannot even take good care of their precious personal documents or endeavour to acquire attested replacements or confirmed copies from their old schools over many decades, are they the ones to take over the affairs of a complex nation/states and do well, irrespective of political party?

Coming to see a president & could not even dress properly. Na wa o.

This is not about Oyinbo no care.

people going to see Queen Elizabeth, the prime minister, Obama, Hollande and others dress decently.

A simple trouser & shirt can be worn even in African heat.

True.

Most APC elite too.

But what is APC without lies & hypocrisy?

Like jollof rice without rice.

Standing5:
The Northern conspiracy is crystal clear in this BH saga. So you mean there has been no way the NA can infiltrate the BH cam and get something positive. On the other hand the BH have men all over the NA who tip them off regularly.

When you consider that some BBOG brigade that help bring down GEJ's govt are now eating yanfuyanfu with sumptuous appointment under Buhari's govt, any idiot and his dog can see that now.

But they will soon brand this victim's mum as "Ipob yoot & PDP wailer".

RIP

What if the guy has a shop called SHEVRON Holdings (West Africa) LTD? And sells cooking oil there.

Nor be still oil company?

Women with their wahala.

Most women love to be dominated. Even so-called feminists.

When things go wrong, they are the first to shout "do something, you're the man here!"

Most women want everything: be dominant, be romantic, be adventurous, be economically buoyant, be caring, have time for them, be able to read their thoughts, blow their mind, surprise them now & again, etc.

Bad news for babes is that even if the Chinese could make a guy to specs, they would fail making one with all the things girls want.

That is why all the marriageable guys seem married already. Not so. Just that some babes realised the folly of wanting everything soon enough and married half-way decent guys. And built their homes from there.

So the frequent heartbreaks continue for those seeking everything in a man.

You obviously don't know. I do. Unless you have personal experiences with what you are saying then you don't know what you are talking about. All the kids i know that are of Nigerian parents don't even want to be associated with Nigeria. It takes one visit to cure them of their illusion of being a part of Nigeria. You seem not to understand the extent of the abnormality that Nigeria projects. You guys might be used to it but normal people aren't. Who wants to take a stroll and the next thing is to see a human being burned in the streets, or policeman harassing you for 20 Naira?

Hehehehe. You are very assuming.

Look, 9ja society has too much ills than a country of its resources, human & natural should have. Most of us agree on that.
In America, people do take a drive or a walk and get gunned down by gangs or even by the police. From behind sometimes.

Some Nigerian kids have been stabbed to death in UK too. There are ills everywhere. The difference is only about the magnitude.

For me, the kids visiting home includes going to their ancestral villages. An experience they have cherished each time to my surprise.
About the age of 5 when kids return from school and start talking funny things about wars, hunger & Aids/disease in Africa as told in school, is the time to head to Africa at the latest. My approach that has been positive thus far at least. They have thoroughly enjoyed freedom to play around. The insects & noise of gen they complained about. But have not dented their positive disposition. It is them now pestering to go visit grandparents & other relatives yearly.

Now, I know some who delayed taking kids home till they were between 16 & 18. Most just went there sulking, just waiting for it to be over and return. That might be already too late for some. A few still liked it though even at that age. I have been telling a relative to quickly take her 8 year old kid home. He already has an unhealthy view of Africa. Something common to the West.

The kids are always proud to dress in African attire to school & church (protestant/oyinbo church) when celebrating Africa or black people.
You make your bed the way you want to lie on it. Raising kids is similar.

It is simply systemic/societal failure.

Not patronising local produce is just another symptom.

If the system was decent, authorities would regulate & properly police quality standards and that would restore confidence.
A working and progressing society would encourage more local companies to produce & foreign companies to produce locally.

Competition will naturally drive down prices. Companies will have to sit up and offer better after sale service to retain customers.

If local products compare favourably both in quality & price to imported ones, many will out of patriotism patronise local products.

When society works, other positive things follow.

sapiosexual1:
The bride and groom aren't supposed to go to the Church together na, groom suppose dey wait her for church make her papa come hand her over to him. Anyways, wether they run or trek or use broom to fly, what's important is a happy marriage thereafter

Haba! Who says they are APC supporters?

Maybe those were best men, family & well-wishers fetching the bride for their buddy.

The thing be like Nollywood film: he must marry latest by 12 noon on a particular date or forfeit 20m Naira left in his uncle's last will. And time is already 11:53 am on that date.

pippimp:
Thank God. At least someone has sense. I don't know why Nigerians love associating with people who don't give two phucks about you. These guys would not be able to identify Nigeria on a map. They may have Nigerian parents or born in Nigeria but they don't consider themselves Nigerian. No one likes to be connected with a country that is rubbish.

Wrong. It depends on how kids are brought up.
Some diaspora kids are more proud of 9ja than many 9ja resident Nigerians. Maybe because diaspora kids are not fully aware of the dysfunction in 9ja. At least not from lifelong experience.

Like whenever they visit 9ja, they live in nice houses put up by their diaspora parents over the years. They see poverty around alright, but they are also notice how cheerful & friendly Nigerians are despite.

On the other hand if they never visit 9ja, parents don't discuss 9ja challenges with them, they never get to witness actual feeling of interacting with Nigerians in Nigeria, their perspective might be different.

If you're currently raising diaspora kids, bring them home as often as you can & you see friends do same & some don't, you will understand my point.

As regard contributing to 9ja, things are changing fast. In the future, diaspora kids maybe seconded by foreign companies to their branch based in 9ja. They won't even need work permit to live & work in 9ja.

And another thing: if she was caught with drugs or a fraudster or prostitute, her Nigerianess would be plastered all over Western media. Even if she has never breath 9ja air once in her life.

Now that it's good news, we reserve the right to savour it too.

Havilah93:
How can we Unite the nation when we are divided amongst ourselves?

9ja was created to be divided Ab initio. So that colonialists can plus us against each other.

Well, the whole North should follow suit. Separation is long overdue.

Or we will keep being a comatose giant.

STFUareyouG0d:
you gaay?

No, Marvin Gaye died long ago.

If you can get a stunning babe to do it in ur stead since you are a muchacho, even better.

rattlesnake:
Who be jenene again Haba!!

I wonder o.

That name resemble name of a town in Mali, Timbuktu side.

Another thing we Africans are hypocritical about is sexual chemistry. We form holy-holy about it.

A lovely beautiful friend's marriage failed recently.

From talking to her, I learnt they had a short no sex courtship before marriage. Sex seemed to have been poor from the beginning.

Later it was like once a month!

Quite possible somebody was getting it outside.

Hey yop

Am Rotimi in seller mode

Was da speaker n gov down Rivers
And Riverians trusted nigga
But fvck dat sh!t x 2

Nigga stole 'em blind
Nigga rob 'em blind
Haha hey yob

Da ain't bad enough
Nigga funded Mallam to power
$10k a pop & Atiku had no chance

Dem Zombs call nigga lion of ubima
But nigga's really Northern pussycat
Meowing to da Northern whims

Nigga sold 'em down South out
Nigga ain't care bout masses
Cos nigga got a plate of pottage.

They want to create space for their kids, girlfriends & kids of cronies & relatives.

It seems CBN & FIRS could not accommodate all their kids & girlfriends.

STFUareyouG0d:
That's a good one. But then, I don't see them winning any medal

Will you bet to upload your pics or video in pants (Like Gary Leniker did last night after losing Leicester EPL bet last season) on NL if Dream team wins any medal?

That will convince us how serious you are.

candidbabe:
Buhari has destroyed this country

Gbam! My only grouse with him is not resigning. I wonder why 9ja people cannot resign when they obviously know their work is being thwarted by people above them.

One major reason I respect NOI. She resigned as foreign minister, knowing it just was not her passion to do high power diplomacy. Not to mention the rot in the MoFA that appalled her.

If circumstances cannot let you do your work to your very best, do not hang around. Go where you can function at your best.

ishowdotgmail:
This country yaff taya somebody jare


Let them kukuma sell Nigeia and give every citizens their share

Share ke?

So you think the money will not grow wings like oil money has over the years?

Abeg make dem no sell. If na the corpse or skeleton remain, make we still dey see where dem bury am.

Since some people are hell-bent on killing the country through incompetence & corruption.

Ontarget:
Why would companies be in Nigeria and be demanding for Harvard certificates? They should better pack to those places with the Harvard certificates and skills.

Back to main topic, of course we all want to start our businesses, but everything involves money. Starting a business is not free. OP should better tell us how to raise funds rather cos that would be a better info to many people.

I think having a simple, workable & realistic plan is more important than money. At least in the beginning.

The real big business you want to end up with may not be the one you begin with. But you learn the ropes with a smaller business. People like Coscharis began simple and branched out.

Most people added oil & gas to their business much later, and eventually got very rich from it.

Most people think having millions at once is the only way to start. No.

And remember something important: you might even fail in first or even second attempt. Especially with the business climate in 9ja that can be quite harsh at times. Successful business people are just those who persevered.

Useful lesson.

Edoblakky:
This was exactly the explanation those who supported bubu gave for his refusal to show up during the last presidential debate.
The argument I have here is this: even if the opposition organised a debate, can't you explain why we should vote you?

Abi o. Has Obaseki now organised his own debate? Probably with his housemaid as the moderator?

juininho:
but all these things were sponsored by OIL BOOM MoNEY!!!!...Nigeria raked in trillions of dollars in those years! .I once again challenge anybody to dispute this.I don't know why u all lost your senses...we should be thinking of how to gather the money they stole and use it now that OIL BOOM is gone!...I learnt from history that we were so rich those days that we used to act bIG bbrother for some African nations. we used to foot their bleeping bills!.Why is it so hard to understand that incoming revenue is now a trickle compared to the flood of PDP years? why?

.

Do you remember oil prices were already falling before March 2015?
Do you remember Buhari promising to stabilise oil prices in the world market, as part of campaign promise?
Do you also remember people like me asking if he was Saudi Arabia or OPEC single handedly?

If you cannot run a country well with dwindling income, why contest for office? Is it by force? If you cannot bear the heat, why stay in the kitchen?
Why go ahead and bring in silly economic policies, only to flip-flop again?

Your problem you is that were only told many things about the past you mentioned, you did not witness much of it. So listen & learn.

Buhari overthrew Shagari allegedly due to "poor economy, galloping economy, corruption, etc". I remember the coup speech well. But has he (Buhari) ever been honest enough to say that oil prices were down during that early 1980s period? No, he has not.

High oil prices are fuelled by issues like:

(1) Low supply: like war/crisis in areas of high supply. In early 1980s, there wasn't much of such crisis. Even Iran-Iraq war of then was not enough to really dent supply. Gulf oil states pumped enough oil that they had about $35 BILLION dollars chicken change to lend Iraq at the time to fight war. But Arab-Israeli crisis in early 70s disrupted world oil supply enough that 9ja made huge money under Gowon. Funded post Biafra War economic growth/Udoji/rebuilding. Gulf war also disrupted oil supply enough in 1990/1991 that the oil boom netted IBB $12.4Billion which he stole & never returned till today. Common theme here is Saudi Arabia being key to supply or lack of.

(2) High Demand: during those oil boom eras, China was a relatively poor country with lower demand for oil. That has changed. But China now also explores alternatives & other supply sources. American demand has reduced greatly. Shale gas & more local oil supply. Renewable/green energy.

Now about big brother. It began with Nkrumah. He deployed way more percentage of Ghana's relatively meagre resources towards helping other Africans than 9ja did. Until he was overthrown. Should we have tolerated Apartheid in South Africa or sit by and let famine ravish some fellow Africans? If you do not understand the notion of Pan-Africanism that fuelled the fight for independence throughout Africa & the Caribbean, better not disparage it.

Despite the wastage during PDP years, it was a period of economic growth not seen since the 70s really. Corruption in the system had grown monstrously during IBB years, Buhari's fellow coupist. If you doubt it, see how budget padding happened right under the nose of your messiah.

CORRECTION: Nigeria has not made up to a TRILLION dollars let alone trillions years back, from oil right from Oloibiri in 1959 till now. I know most people are very poor with mathematical perspectives. Especially when high figures are involved. All estimates so far are below $500 billion. $300-$400 billion in fact.

stinflame:
Suddenly everybody now uses the slogan 16
yrs.. And in that 16 yrs investors were able to invest and the economy flourishes so what are they saying. PDP had what it takes to rule then. So Y the 16 yrs slogan.. And to even mke matter worse PDP met a more messier economy during the transition from military to civilian, but still yet they fixed it no complain and blame tag.

You nor surprise.
MTN, Glo and others sprang up. Every can now afford telecommunication/ICT. A major revolution of how we live. 9ja was attracting largest FDI in Africa. Largest economy in Africa, etc.

Look at local musicians, comedians and other artists that were made in that period. We launched a satellite too.

Sure, we could have done a lot better but in my lifetime so far, since 1983, there has been no period of steady progress like 1999-2015. None. 1983-1999 was a lost era.

They now see that blaming GEJ for prior 50 years of failure is not smart anymore.

neolboy:
so wats the conclusion of this story(

Is that it has "tey" that 419 started, from oyinbo side & that a man of any colour should fear a woman of any colour.

Now you sound pathetic....abeg stop boring me...

So you mean your boring "dasein" can get any worse? You should thank me for infusing some excitement into ur usual boredom.

bennynaza:
Funny. But good thing that he apologised sha.
But the flogging as punishment sounds funny and sharia-like

By the way, his name will be difficult for Name Checkers to decipher.

I wonder. Which penal code recommends strokes of the cane? That is very little punishment. They should instead enforce a proper sex offenders register and DNA data bank for offenders. Some such people graduate to rapists.
