Drug Deal, Drug Money! Fascinating but Killing.
These sentences re better than what z obtained in Asian countries.
But on a serious note, drug trafficking z better than Rape, Armed robbery, Cultism and Rituals.
Though that does not mean that I support drug trafficking n crime.

Senate Committee on Sports today met with Super Falcons players and promised severe punishment for any official found to have diverted or stopped payment of the match bonuses of Falcons.

Missionaries running the Vine Heritage Home, Kuje, Abuja have rescued no lesser than 103 infants, including sets of twins and albinos from 55 communities practising infanticide.

The youngest of the children are a set of twins, David and Davida, and another female infant, Angelica, whose mother died during childbirth.

The operators of the home, Mr. Olusola and Mrs. Chinwe Stevens said 55 communities in the Federal Capital Territory engaged in killing of twins and albino infants in the belief that they are evil.



According to the couple, the communities also killed infants who lost their mother during childbirth, noting that such children were believed to be responsible for the death of their mothers.

The missionaries spoke to Northern City News when members of a non-governmental organisation, Latinwo Projects, headed by Cathy Amato visited the home in company of Regina Hess, Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany to Nigeria.

Olusola said he established the home in 2004 when he found that the communities were killing innocent infants, adding that he set up the home because he could not ignore the dastardly acts going on in the area.

He stated that the oldest child among the rescued infants was Ruth, now 20 years old and attending a secondary school in the area.

The Osun State indigene explained that through their missionary work, four communities namely Kutara, Dogoruwa, Gbangede and Nasarawa have stopped killing twins, albinos and infants whose mothers died during childbirth.

Olusola attributed the high maternal mortality in the area to the lack of access to hospitals, noting that the women often gave birth at home and died when complications arose.

He said, “The communities also believe that if a child grows the upper teeth, he is evil and should be killed. It’s difficult to stop such killings because we don’t know and can’t monitor when a child would grow the upper tooth. They kill albino infants and twins in the belief that they are evil, but where I come from as a Yoruba man, having a set of twins means you are a special person, but they are being killed here.”

The missionary said twins and other infants marked for death were often poisoned with local herbs or abandoned to die of hunger.

“Majority of the children in the home lost their mothers at childbirth and we had to move in quickly to save them, otherwise they would be killed,” he said, adding that over 20 were killed before he could rescue them.

The media aide to the FCT Minister, Abubakar Sani, said the FCT Administration was aware of the practice, saying that sensitisation was being carried out in the communities.

“The administration is not happy about such cultural practices and we have been carrying out sensitisation programmes to educate and enlighten the people in the communities. We are also building clinics to make health care accessible to the people in order to reduce maternal and neo-natal mortality,” he stated

Premier League leaders, Chelsea, are willing to let Super Eagles’ captain, Mikel John Obi, leave on loan in January, according to reports in France.
The midfielder is struggling to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge this season, with N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic currently keeping him out of the side. He missed the start of the campaign in order to represent Nigeria at Rio 2016.

He is yet to make an appearance for his club this season, leading to claims he may quit Chelsea and he hinted in November that may be the case.


And, according to France Football, Mikel may finally get his wish in January as he will be allowed to leave on loan.The Blues board are reportedly understanding about the 29-year-old’s desire for more football and are ready to meet his wishes.
Mikel’s current contract is due to expire in the summer too, meaning he would be allowed to leave for free even if he does not go in January.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been fined £100,000 for failing to control their players during their victory over Manchester City earlier this month.

City have also received a fine of £35,000 for the brawl in the closing minutes of their 3-1 defeat at the Eithad on December 3.The two clubs had been charged with “failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behavior.”

Sergio Aguero’s late tackle on David Luiz sparked unrest between both sides and their respective benches; the Argentine striker and his team-mate Fernandinho were sent off, while Cesc Fabregas and Nathaniel Chalobah avoided sanction despite finding themselves at the centre of the melee.

The Blues have received a sizeable fine after the fifth such offence in 19 months.Chelsea received the league’s record fine for indiscipline in May this year – £290,000 – and were warned over their future conduct after another brawl that marred their 2-2 draw against Tottenham.

It had been rumoured that Chelsea could face a points deduction, though it was a possibility that Antonio Conte laughed off after his side’s 1-0 home win over West Brom. The Blues currently sit three points clear at the top of the table.
