The ravaging flood which started last month has partitioned oil-rich South-South geo-political zone into three parts and turned the East-West Road, the only highway linking the six states of the region, into a river. As at yesterday, Edo and Delta states were on one side, having been cut off from Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states. Bayelsa is isolated, as people could not access the state from neighboring Rivers State. Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom states are the only three states in the South- South where people could pass through via the East-West Road. Reporters who went on a tour of the East- West Road, yesterday, discovered that flood had cut off the road at Uwheru in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State. They had to board a boat to get to Patani, the boundary town between Delta and Bayelsa states. At Patani, the reporters took another boat to cross over to Bayelsa State, but could not get to Rivers State, as the road had been severed between Mbiama and Ahoada. East-West Road no longer passable It was gathered that to get to Rivers State, transporters and other motorists from Edo, Delta and Bayelsa states have to pass through the South-East states of Anambra, Abia and Imo, as East-West Road is no longer passable. Delta State portion of the East-West Road appears to be the worst hit with boat drivers and motorcyclists making brisk business, while some youths have built makeshift wooden bridges and collect toll of N100 from pedestrians before passage. At Uwheru, our reporters joined other travelers to cross the “River Jordan” created by flood on the East-West Road before boarding a boat to Ohoror, also in Ughelli North Local Government Area. From Ohoror, they took another boat across Umeh community to Aven, near Patani, from where motorcyclists took them to Patani town. http://www.nigerianeye.com/2012/10/flood-divides-south-south-geo-political.html?m=1

Police have tightened security nationwide to prevent violence during tomorrow’s Eid el Kabir celebration. The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has directed all Zonal Assistant Inspectors- General of Police and Commissioners of Police at the state commands to provide 24-hour water-tight security across the country before, during and after the Sallah celebration.” The IG also directed the CPs to personally ensure that key and vulnerable points, all places of worship, recreation centres, resorts and other public places are adequately and effectively protected, to enable worshippers and the general public to enjoy the Eid-el Kabir celebration. In a statement by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, in Abuja on Wednesday, Abubakar directed all Commanders of Police Highway Patrol Teams to ensure that motorised patrols on highways targeted at crime and accident prevention, are intensified to ensure a safe, secure and peaceful celebration. “Policemen deployed on our highways have also been directed to render necessary assistance to travelers and road users, especially accident victims and those who might have suffered vehicular break down,” he added. Abubakar warned officers who would be deployed during the period, to ensure that they conduct themselves within the confines of the law. “They must be firm but polite, civil and professional in the discharge of their assigned roles, giving due regard and respect to the fundamental human rights of citizens at all times,” he said. Meanwhile, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Adenrele Shinaba, has assured residents that the command had deployed adequate policemen to ensure a safe and secure Sallah celebration. Shinaba explained that his command had received over 75 vehicles to patrol the nook and cranny of the Territory. The CP appealed to residents to be security-conscious and to report to the police any act of security threat within their domain. Agency reports had on Tuesday quoted the military Joint Task Force as saying that its operatives uncovered a plot by the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, to perpetrate massive attacks during the Islamic celebration that commenced on Thursdsay (today). http://www.nigerianeye.com/2012/10/eid-el-kabir-police-ig-orders-24-hour.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+Nigerianeye+(NigerianEye)&utm_content=FaceBook&m=1

rotimiakpeji: you know nothing fellow.THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER |
Moffitt called 911 about 8 p.m. and told police she was attacked and burned by three men wearing white T-shirt hoodies, authorities said during a news conference today. As reported by the Shreveport Times: Moffitt is believed to be severely burned and is being treated at LSU Hospital in Shreveport, where she’s listed in critical condition. The FBI is investigating whether the attack was a hate crime, Winnsboro Police Chief Kevin Cobb said. Authorities have not identified, nor made any arrests in the case as they haven’t determined the sequence of events or whether the attack was random or planned. Many in the social media sphere reported that Moffitt was wearing an Obama t-shirt, but those allegations turned out to be false. Police believe Moffitt was doused in a flammable liquid and set afire. Trooper Albert Paxton said Moffitt, who is in critical condition, suffered extensive burns below her neck on her chest and back all the way down to her calves. Though Cobb admitted the possibility of the attack being racially motivated was unsettling, they asked for the community to reserve judgement. On Sharmeka’s Facebook page, it says she works for ConAgra Foods, Inc., an American packaged foods company. Since the story broke, a Prayers for Sharmeka Moffitt page has been created with over 11,000 supporters. www.naijaonpoint.com/black-woman-attacked-and-burnt-by-3-white-men-for-supporting-obama/

A BOY Whoever dates or marries must b very patience,because a boy will always be a boy regardless of his age.Age has nothing to do with brain.growing up and growing old is never the same. A boy care less about what makes you happy as a woman.He knows nothing about putting a home together and he is not ready to know.Its d wife or the girlfriend who will be doing the thinking and taking decisions.It will be hard for him to part with the things he is used to as a teenager.He will be less concerned about his mode of dressing or his reputation. A boy is loose,he will kiss and tell openly and talks about everything in his relationship to everybody and openly condemn his woman. A boy will make his mum or sister his next of kin even when he is happily married with kids. A boy never worry about the future because he never wants to grow.A boy knows nothing about respecting or how treat a woman, A boy will beat his woman and care less about her pains.. A boy can make his woman,s life miserable not because he’s wicked but because he’s a child.He will rather play video games or hang out with his home boys rather helping his kids with their home works.When a grown woman marries or dates a boy she automatically becomes a girl.she will change from a peaceful matured woman to a nagging young girl and people will think she has gone insane its because she is dating or got married to a teenager. A PLAYER Its better to be single than dating a player.Game playing is a stage in every mans life where he will date more than one woman and hide them from one another.A man who doesn’t go through this stage before settling can be very dangerous and reckless later in life.Whoever refused to stop or leave this stage of his life is a called a PLAYER. A player is the closet thing to a boy that’s why they call themselves BIG BOYS..A player is a smart but confused,wicked,selfish and inconsiderate male,who can never stay faithful to one woman. Its easy for players to date any woman because they appears very attractive,clean,and dress very smart and presentable.. A player can be rich, famous, popular,tall, handsome,romantic, or posses any quality that many women wants in a guy.A player tells you what U want to hear and show U what u love to see to make U belief he’s real and then put ur life on hold… A player can make any woman develop a heart attack.No woman can stop a player from playing games until he decides to stop.No woman can win a game with a player apart from material women who never dates for love.Any time or efforts you spend with a player can end up in vain. A player can put your life on hold. A player will display a make believe behavior and make any woman got carried away so much she will give testimonies in church as if GOD has answered her prayers. A player will make you promises that will make you feel on top of the world.A player will spend any amount of money and efforts to get between your legs when he accomplish his mission his story will change. Players are allergic to delay.If he couldn’t get what he wants on time,he will leave U and move on to D next victim.He will always give you excuses when you bring up the issue of marriage. A player,s heart has no space for love,He will only marry a potential victim for material benefits and continue his games after settling down.He will tell terrific stories about his innocent wife just to get another woman to bed. A REAL MAN A real man is a grown up matured man(regardless of his age) that is done playing games and ready to commit to just one woman and be faithful and honest with her. .most women say there is no such thing like a real man…but the truth is there r still many real men…ts only that no man is real until he is ready to grow up and done playing games. A real man is the best gift any woman could get n life. A real man will love you genuinely and prove his love to you.He will be sensitive to your needs He will be allergic to your tears and treats you like queen. He can never be complete without you.He will make promises and keep to them.You will be his best friend, his next of kin and he will confide in you.you will never fight for his attention.He will gossip with you,laugh with you and cry with you.your pasts will never bothers him.whatever brings you happiness and joy will be his priority in life. He will refuse to function when you are down and be on top of the world when you are happy. He will love whatever concerns you and connected to you.when there’s conflict he will never raise either his voice or his hands.He will peacefully make you understand his point or view. He will carry u along whatever he plans to do.If you disagree with him he will never take offense He will trust without fear and give without expect. WHICH CATEGORY DO YOU FALL INTO, MY FELLOW MEN? |

**I Saw this on an online Blog and I thought I should share. Please read. Its long though** THE VISION What did Brother Sadiq see? After a forty-day fast that I was requested to go through by the Lord, in the place of prayer, I suddenly saw light around me and then heard the audible voice of the Lord saying, “Men have seen the sky, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and the hills and yet they fear Me not; I will not hold My peace anymore, I am coming to judge the earth.” MY GOING DOWN INTO HELL When the Lord told me that the people in destruction are going to hell except they repent, then I asked the Lord “Can I see the place?” He said “Yes, you can see hell because you asked in a right way”. The Lord said “Come with me” and the next thing I saw is that we were walking together in hell. When we got to hell, the Lord said to me, “This is the place you wanted to see, don’t be afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show you.” The place was very terrible. It was dark and I could hear screams of billions upon billions of people, men and women. Though the place was dark, I could still see because the light of God was shining. His face was shining like the sun in its strength. I saw the flames of fire looking reddish and multitudes of people as though they were swimming in the fire. The people I was allowed to speak to were in their individual pits of fire. These pits of fire are literally billions upon billions! They would try to come out of the pit, but it was as if the fire would melt them. I saw billions upon billions of demons running around. These demons were more or less making mockery of those there. The Lord said “I will allow you to talk with three men who were top preachers from your country but are now in hell.”These are people I never met or knew on earth. Each of these men introduced himself to me and acknowledged that he deserved to be there in hell. The first person I talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa (Church of God Mission International). When I saw his state of suffering in hell, then I asked him some questions. Q. Why are you here? A. Covetousness and I was full of self-righteousness while I was on earth. And I deserve to be here. Q. Are you used to the pains and the suffering? A. No. The suffering is new every day. Q. For how long have you been here? A. Thirteen (13) years Q. What if I want to come here where you are? A. If you want to, you are welcome. While I was talking with him his flesh would melt as if acid was poured on his face. All the time he was talking with me, he was in torment in his own pit of fire. The next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri (New Life for All). While he was looking at me, he was screaming in his own pit of fire. As he would try to talk, fire would come from his mouth melting his throat. Then the throat came back again and he was able to talk with me. As he was talking there was fire burning even inside his head and he was in real torment. Q. Why are you here? A. My works brought me here Q. What works? A. Guile (deceit, hypocrisy, falsehood) Q. But I was touched by some of your messages I have listened to, yet you are here. Is your message that we are listening to also going to bring us here? A. No Q. Why? A. If you allow the Spirit of the Lord to lead you and not your human mind, your life will glorify God through the messages. The next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis Church, Plateau state). He was talking with me with his head upside down. The Lord says that was the state of his punishment at that hour. Q. Who are you and why are you here? A. I was Pastor Philip Mokungah. Now I know I am nothing and my self-will brought me here. And I’ve already sowed the seed of self-will and selfish desire in my family. The more it grows the more my punishment in hell increases. I was walking right with God then I gave room to the devil and he cut me off. He succeeded through my desire and at the end I divorced my wife. This was the first step that separated me from God. And I took it very lightly. Now I am here as a result of my self-will. He also gave me a message for his family. While I was talking with him, I also saw a woman who was a very popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying, “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not allowed to talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said what brought her there was secret sin, though she did not state what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that took her there. Ten other people spoke to me but I was not allowed by the Lord to speak to them. Eight of them are of other nationalities (Non- Nigerians). There was a man I met in Indonesia where I went preaching in 2009. He said he was in hell because of wrong counseling. He was a counselor who was giving people wrong counsel. One of them said he is there because of the spirit of irresponsibility. Another said he came there because of gossip. Another said he is there because of the spirit of bitterness. A lady said she came there because of lying in the name of God. There was a young man who said he was arrested while on earth for preaching the gospel and the devil cut him off in prison where he compromised his faith. There was a woman who was just wailing but I could not pick out her words. There was an elderly man who said he wished he was me because looking at me I was not feeling what he was feeling. I saw a young girl with a very long hair with different colors. She was an occultist girl who was in the choir of her church. The last person was a young man. He said he called himself into the ministry because he desired to help God. The hand of the Lord was not on him and therefore no grace. He went to so- called men of God seeking anointing of the Holy Spirit. As they prayed, they transferred the same evil spirits in them into him. He gave a message – “Be careful of those you allow to lay hands on you.” The three men the Lord allowed me to speak with were very popular preachers. God, however, is not a respecter of persons for He is a just judge. Acts 10:34-35: “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Rom 2:11: “For there is no respect of persons with God.” Rom. 11:22: “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” THE RAPTURE What does the Scripture say concerning the rapture of the ready saints? 1 Thess. 4:16-18: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thess. 5:1-11: “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” Rev 22:10-12: “And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. ” The Lord showed me an open vision of the rapture before He took me down to hell. The first person I saw in the vision was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. I have seen Him on several occasions before now so I know Him. The Lord ALLOWED me to see the PRESENT CONDITION (not FUTURE DESTINATION!) of everyone He has privileged me to meet in my two and half year’s journey with Him. As well as many others that I have never met including those the Lord said I will meet in future. 1. I saw those who were going up in glory with the Lord. 2. I saw those were going down in destruction. Those in Category 2 were far more in number compared to those in Category 1. There were those who were not seen in Category 1 or 2. The Lord says these ones are hiding in darkness for there is nothing hidden in the Light. Most of the ministers who were going up in glory, the Lord says, are not the popular ministers known by men on earth but are known by Him. However, I saw some ministers of the gospel that I know. Most of the major ministers in Nigeria were seen going down in destruction. The Lord says this is the season of judgment. He says He cannot bear any longer what they are doing in His name for He is coming to judge the earth, yet it is not too late if they repent; but He says, “If you refuse to be sincere with yourself and repent, you know where you are going – your destiny is eternal destruction.”Just some of the major ministers among the so many ministers in destruction are going to be mentioned here for the purpose of their redemption. The Lord says it is not His will for you to be where you are right now and you know it. These include Pastor Enoch Adeboye (Redeemed Christian Church of God), Bishop David Oyedepo (Living Faith Church), Pastor Tunde Bakare (Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor (President, Christian Association of Nigeria), Dr. Olukoya (Mountain of Fire and Miracles), Matthew Ashimolowo (Kingsway Church, United Kingdom), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy), Pastor T.B. Joshua (Synagogue of All Nations), Chris Okotie (Household of God), Evangelist Uma Ukpai and many others! I have never met or known any of these ministers. However, some of these ministers were brought to me in the place of prayer for intercession during the forty-day fast preceding this vision. The Lord introduced them to me as lost ministers. Christian national leaders from other countries include –Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Rod Parsley, Myles Munroe, Mike Murdock, Paula White, Ron Kenoly, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Pat Robertson, Reinhard Bonkke, Pope Benedict, David Yongi Cho, Duncan Williams and many others! The essence of mentioning these names is for these people to be warned by those who know them and love them so there can be a change in their ways before it is too late! My responsibility is to simply report what I saw and to warn, so I am free of their blood. There are many other lost ministers whose names cannot be listed here, but let everyone examine himself before the searchlight of the Holy Spirit. Each of us must confront ourselves with the gospel of truth before it is too late forever! Ezek. 3:17-21: “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.” Ezek. 33:7-11: “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?”‘ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?” The truth is like a double- edged sword which if received reverently could comfort us and if rejected could crush us (Heb. 4:12-13). This vision is a demonstration of grace and love from the FATHER-HEART OF GOD. I saw many national leaders including President Barrack Obama and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan going down in destruction. They also must be warned! When I looked at the people who were going up with the Lord, they were very calm, at peace and full of joy. When I looked down at the people in destruction, I was surprised because some of them are supposed to be the people of God that I know. They were crying out in agony and pain. Yet the Lord said there was nothing He could do except they repent. At this point I had questions in my mind. Then the Lord told me to ask questions. Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with You? A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them. Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their destination? A. They are going down to hell except they repent. Q. Why are these people in destruction? 1. Hypocrisy – what they are in their mouth is not what they are in their heart. Matt 15:7-9: “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” 2. Submitting to the spirit of paranoid that does not allow them to see sin as God sees it, thus making light what is serious in His sight. This spirit works directly against the Spirit of Truth. John 16:13-14: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you”. Consequently, they are not pure in heart, for only the pure in heart will see God (Matt 5: ![]() “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14 |

For weeks, many people have wondered where Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka stands on the accusation of genocide against Igbos by the Nigerian Government duringthe 1967-70 civil war leveledby Prof. Chinua Achebe in his war memoir, There Was A Country. Well, Soyinka (shown in photo) has finally spoken his mind and, interestingly, he agrees with Achebe that Biafrans, the bulk of whom were Igbos, were victims of genocide during the war. In an interview he granted Britain’s authoritative Telegraph, the Nobel Prize winner described Biafrans as “people who’d been abused, who’d undergonegenocide, and who felt completely rejected by therest of the community, andtherefore decided to breakaway and form a nation ofits own.” In the interview published last Friday, the interviewerPeter Godwin asked: “Professor Soyinka, you’re not an ivory-tower kind of writer. You are not a stranger to danger, and in fact you’ve been imprisoned on at least two occasions,once in solitary confinement. Can you tell me what that was like?” Soyinka’s reply: “Writing in certain environments carries with it an occupational risk. When I was imprisoned, without trial, it was as a result of a position I took as a citizen. Of course I used my weapon, which was writing, to express my disapproval of the (Biafran) civil war into which we were about to enter. These were people who’d been abused, who’d undergone genocide, and who felt completely rejected by therest of the community, andtherefore decided to breakaway and form a nation ofits own. Unfortunately, thenature of my imprisonment meant that I couldn’t practise my trade becauseI was in solitary confinement for 22 monthsout of the 27, and I was deprived of writing material. So I had to somehow break through the barriers, smuggle in toilet paper, cigarette paper, scribble a few poems, pass messages outside. I was able to undertake exercises to make sure that I emerged from prison intact mentally.” The interview, which centred of Soyinka’s speech delivered last weekat the Hay Festival in Mexico, was entitled “If religion was taken away I’d be happy”. In it, Soyinka condemned religious militancy and declared that now is the time to tackle Boko Haram, the Islamic militants who have been fomenting trouble in Nigeria. News Express recalls thatProf. Achebe in his war memoirs subtitled ‘A Personal History of Biafra’ accused wartime Head of State Gen. YakubuGown and his Vice-Chairman and Finance Minister, Chief Obafemi Awolowo,of carrying out genocide against Igbos. Theclaim has been generating a lot of controversy, with many Yoruba commentators accusing Achebe of twisting history.Source News Express |
The Priest of a small village was very fond of his flock of ten hens and a cockerel. He kept them in a hen house behind the parish, but one Saturday night, the cockerel was missing. The priest, suspecting fowl play decided to say something about it at church the next morning. At Mass, he asked the congregation, has anyone got a cock? To which all the men stood up. "No,no," he said, somewhat flustered, "that's not what I meant. "Has anybody SEEN a cock?" All the women stood up. "No, no," he said. "Thats not what I meant either. Has anyone seen a cock that doesn't belong to them." Half the women stood up. "No, no," He said, now thoroughly embarrassed "Perhaps I should rephrase the question: Has anybody here seen MY cock?" All the choirgirls stood up. |

The Nigerian army has explained the reason for the bomb explosions and the gun fire that rocked the Nigerian northern city of Zaria Sunday morning. According to a statement signed by Capt Ibrahim Abdullahi, the Army Public Relations Officer, the explosion was as a result of a controlled detonation of improvised bombs recovered from suspected terrorists belonging to the Boko Haram, who had massed the bombs for use at various places on Nigeria’s Independence day. Two Boko Haram sect members were killed and 10 others injured during the raid at a hideout. The statement issued in Zaria and signed by Capt Ibrahim Abdullahi, the Army Public Relations Officer, Depot, Nigerian Army, said that the operation followed a tip-off by some good “Samaritans”. It said: ”In the early hours of Sunday morning, suspected members of Boko Haram engaged our troops and the State Security Service (SSS) in a fierce gun battle in Gaskiya layout, Tukur- Tukur, Zaria. ”Following a tip-off that Boko Haram are planning a major suicide mission in Zaria, Kaduna and Suleja to coincide with the Independence Anniversary celebration, a joint operation was launched on a residential building in Gaskiya layout to flush out the terrorists. ”During the course of the operation, some of the Boko Haram members were killed and others, including a woman, were arrested. “lt was also discovered that the building was heavily loaded with explosives and being used as a warehouse for the storage of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).” The statement said that the explosives were meant to inflict maximum casualty on the army.

Osama Bin Laden himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know That he was stil in the game. Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of a coded message: 370HSSV-0773H. Bush was baffled, so he e- mailed it to Condi Rice and her aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning they eventually asked Akpors frm Nigeria for help. Within a minute Akpors cabled the White House with his reply " Tell the President he's holding the message upside down" |

The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted," Mr Chao told the South China Morning Post, describing reports about his daughter's marriage as "false"... He told the South China Morning Post the prize money was "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business".

A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country and decides he'll pick the least painful to spend his eternity. He goes to Germany hell & asks, "what do they do here?" He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips youfor the rest of the day". The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on. He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all similar to the German hell. Then he comes to the Nigerian hell and finds that there is a longline of people waiting to get in ... Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?" He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour, then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. The Nigerian devil comes in & whips you for the rest of the day." "But that is exactly the same as all the other hells. Why are there so many people waiting to get in?" asks the man. "Because there is never any electricity so the electric chair does not work. The nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on. And the Nigerian devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for private business." |
