Federal Fire Service Public Relations Officer, Biodun Obisesan said the fire outbreak started some minutes after 12 pm.

He said the FFS in collaboration with the Federal Capital Territory’s Fire Service and that of the Air Force were able to put off the fire before it could cause severe damage.

Obisesan who said the cause of the fire outbreak was still unknown, explained that no life was lost in the incident.

“The fire outbreak affected the store area where their NIS fabrics are kept,” he added.

Christianity EtcChristmas Celebration: Truth Or Myth? by Calyb(op): 10:27pm On Nov 17, 2014
CHRISTMAS originated from the word "Christ-Mass" which is a Roman Catholic tradition, a special mass performed in celebration of Christ's birth.
Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Christian Church. It was not celebrated, commemorated, or observed, neither by the apostles nor in the apostolic church -- not for at least the first 300 years of church history, after Catholicism took over the first church of Rome which was originally established by Apostle Paul. It was in the year 350 A.D. that Pope Julius-I declared that Christ’s birth should be celebrated on “December 25”. History reveals that the Church at Jerusalem commenced the celebration of Christmas only during 440 A.D., following the leadings of Roman Catholicism.

ANCIENT HISTORY

Ancient history reveals that in past ancient pagan civilizations, it is no coincidence that December 25th was also the birthday of their pagan gods. All of BABYLONIAN and ROMAN FESTIVALS were characterized by 5-7 day celebration periods of unrestrained or orgiastic revelry and licentiousness held between the 17th and the 23rd of December. December is the time of year when days began to lengthen and ancient man was blessed with a "regeneration of nature" and held an annual celebration for it.
Specifically, December 25th was the Victory Festival of the “SUN-God" in the pagan Babylonian world. In the ancient Roman Empire, the same celebration can be traced back to the Roman Festival called “Saturnalia”, which honored Saturn, the harvest god, and Mithras, the god of light. They held the circus during this time of the year. Both festivals were celebrated during or shortly after the winter solstice, between the 17th and 23rd of December.

1. CHRIST POINTED US TO HIS DEATH, NOT TO HIS BIRTH
Christmas is not mentioned in the entire book of the Bible. Never one time did Jesus refer them to His birth, but to His death.

2. JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT BORN IN DECEMBER; HE WAS BORN IN APRIL
It couldn't have been Christ's birthday. It just absolutely could not have been. He'd have had to been born in March or April, 'cause He was the Lamb. And He was a male sheep and borned in under the ram, Aries. It had to be. You see? And--and sheep are not born in December anyhow. Sheep are born in the spring. And then another thing, the hills of Judaea now, there's twenty feet of snow on them. How could the shepherds have been out there?

Christmas is not a Protestant holiday. It's a Catholic day. The 25th of December was months and months before our Lord was born. Our Lord was born in April. But He wasn't born in December. If you've been in Judaea in December it's colder than this, so--so you know He wasn't born in December. And it's spelled, it's C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s, a mass for Christ. It's the Christ-mass.
And by the way, Christ wasn't born on the twenty-fifth day of December either. He couldn't have been. If you'd ever been in Judaea, the hills are full of snow, worse than it is here: He (was) born in April when all nature comes forth. Now, but it's a tradition. And why--why do we do those things? Because we follow the traditions of men instead of the commandments of God. Then something like that wouldn't matter, but they just make a commercial day out of it. It's a disgrace, a shame for them to do such things as that

The suit filed by some Nigerians against the federal government over the death of job seekers during the March 15 Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, recruitment exercise will commence on Monday.

The case is to be tried by Justice Abdul Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja, under Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/694/2014.

The suit was filed by Patience Omezie, Kasim Suleiman, Okojie Arebamen, and Godwin Morka while the defendants include the federal government and the Interior Minister.

The plaintiffs’ counsel include Funke Adekoya, J.S. Okutepa, Ayo Obe, Ikeazor Akaraiwe, and Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri.

At least 16 Nigerians died across Nigeria when hundreds of thousands of applicants stormed various recruitment centres to fill the 4000 vacant positions in the NIS.

A day after the tragedy, the Minister for Interior, Abba Moro, claimed that the applicant’s impatience and failure to follow instructions were the cause of the tragedy.

Mr. Moro later appeared before a Senate Committee on Interior during a public hearing where he accepted responsibility for the deaths.

He has, however, remained in office despite calls by some Nigerians that he resigns or be removed.

President Goodluck Jonathan has since offered automatic employment to families of the victims and ordered the return of the N1000 registration fee collected from each applicant.

The president also promised that a fresh recruitment exercise would be carried out.

Edo NIS victims’ families decry
non-implementation of
compensation
OCTOBER 14, 2014 BY ALEXANDER
OKERE, BENIN
2 Comments
Seven months after the ill-fated
Nigeria Immigration Service
recruitment exercise which led to the
death of no fewer than 18 applicants
and left many injured nationwide,
victims of the stampede in Benin have
decried the non-implementation of
the compensation promised by the
federal government.
It would be recalled than one person
died while over 20 others were
injured in the stampede at the Samuel
Ogbemudia Stadium, venue of the
exercise in Edo with over 20,000
applicants.
But President Jonathan had on March
19 directed that three employment
slots be reserved for the families of
those who lost their lives in the
stampede that occurred during the
recruitment exercise conducted by
the NIS.
He said also directed that all those
who sustained injuries and were
hospitalised be given automatic
employment in the service.
However, the victims stated, during a
peaceful protest in Benin, that they
were yet to get any of the promises
made by the federal government.
The victims and their families had
placards with inscriptions which read,
“We are traumatised immigration
victims still without jobs,” “Please,
allow the souls of the departed NIS
victims to rest in peace” and “Mr.
Goodluck Jonathan, we are still
waiting for your promise,” appealing
to the federal government to fulfil his
promise.
One of the victims, Austin Amu, who
lost his wife during the exercise, told
PUNCH Metro that he and his three
children, aged eight, five and three,
had been languishing in pain since the
death of his 27-year-old wife.
Amu, who also participated in the
exercise, narrated how he discovered
that his wife had died, stated that he
had paid several visits to the NIS
office, none of which yielded any
good result.
Amu said, “Getting to different
hospitals, they told me that they had
discharged those who were injured.
“They showed me a list but my wife’s
name was not there.
“When I got to the specialist hospital,
they told me that the only corpse
brought by the NIS had no name.
“When I insisted on seeing the
corpse, I realised that it was the
remains of my wife.
“I have visited the office so many
times but they keep telling me to be
patient because there has been no
response right from Abuja.
“That was why I decided to cry out
to let the public know my feeling
because carrying these children along
is not an easy task for me.
Another victim, Timothy Omoagbon,
told our correspondent that life had
been difficult for his family since the
incident.
Omoagbon said, “I saw my wife lying
down on the ground In fact, my wife
collapsed in the stadium.
“It took the efforts of immigration
officials to revive her, pouring water
on her before she stood up.
“But later she started coughing out
blood and couldn’t breath very well.
“We went to immigration but they
told us that they are waiting for
directive from Abuja and would let us
know when get it.
“But we have not had anything till
now. We are appealing to President
Goodluck Jonathan to fulfil his
promise.”

Jobs/Vacancies7 Months After Stampede, Victims Yet To Get Fg’s Jobs by Calyb(op): 1:29pm On Oct 07, 2014
Nearly seven months after the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment stampede which killed 20 applicants and injured hundred others, the Federal Government is yet to fulfill its promise of automatic jobs to the families of the deceased.
The recruitment exercise held on March 15, across the various centres in the country was marred by poor crowd control and organization.
The Federal Government promised to offer automatic jobs to family members of the deceased while all applicants injured were to get a slot each.
On March 25, the Federal Government in a statement through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, set-up a Presidential Committee to undertake a fresh recruitment exercise within 12 weeks.
The committee is to assist the Civil Defence, Fire Service, Immigration and Prisons Board to conduct a fresh exercise in place of the aborted recruitment.
The committee’s terms of reference among others, was to ensure that three family members of each deceased applicant from the aborted exercise, at least one of whom should be a female, were given immediate and automatic employment into the NIS and ensuring that all those injured were given immediate and automatic employment.
One of the victims of the aborted recruitment exercise, Peace Uruaka told Daily Trust said she is yet to receive the promised job.
Uruaka, who received treatment at the National Hospital, Abuja after the tragedy and on crutches until July is still unable to properly walk.
Asked if she has ever been contacted by the authorities, she said: “I have not been contacted. I keep on going to the Comptroller General of Immigration office to know how far but until now, they said nothing yet.”
Also, one Caleb Uloko who sustained injuries during the recruitment exercise and was revived the following day, said he was only contacted once to provide some details adding that he had not heard from anyone since then.
The Physics graduate lamented that the directive by the President to employ them immediately was clear, wondering what was delaying the process.
Another victim, Mercy Owonipa who was injured on her left hand during the recruitment exercise in Abuja said she has not been contacted for a job by anyone.
All efforts to reach the Comptroller General of Immigration, David Parradang, who is a member of the Presidential Committee on the recruitment exercise to react to the situation proved abortive as he did not pick calls nor respond to the text message put through to him by our reporter.
However, Minister of Interior, Abba Moro said the ministry was still waiting for the committee to conclude its job before enforcing the president’s directives.
The minister responded while fielding ques-tions from reporters at the Nigeria Immigration Service 50th Anniversary celebration at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
“We are patiently waiting for the committee to diligently do its job, give us the appropriate list and then, we will comply with Mr President’s directive,” Moro said.
Moro however, suggested that the delay with the process may not be unconnected with the cumbersome nature of arriving at the final list.
The minister said: “Don’t forget that experience has shown that immediately Mr. President made that pronouncement, a lot of persons started claiming that they were victims of the exercise and so, we are inundated with list of persons who have claimed that they were wounded or their loved ones died in the process.” is this justice delayed or justice denied?
