The Assistant Youth Leader of the Chief Cyril Ogodo-led executive of Delta State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, Ejiro Ikpikpini, was in the early hours of yesterday stabbed and strangled by suspected hired assassins.

The APC chieftain, who was also the Youth Leader of Otor-Iwhereko community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state, was killed at his Uloho Avenue residence by men said to be eight in number.


His death was confirmed by the Publicity Secretary of his executive, Aghogho Orotomah, when contacted.
Though details surrounding his death were sketchy at press time, sources said the hoodlums who did not take away anything from the scene of the incident, stormed his residence at about 2:30a.m. yesterday, went to his apartment and stabbed him multiple times after which he was strangled.


Meanwhile, a member of the Otor-Iwhreko community executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity, hinted that the incident might be connected to some lingering issues relating to revenue collection at the Otor-Iwhreko end of Ughelli main market.


The source said: “There had been a clash between rival members of the revenue committee, which was put in place by elders of the community, to collect money from traders at the main market.
“So far, one person has been arrested in connection with the incident, while others are being hunted for questioning.”


Efforts to speak with the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, were fruitless as at press time.

A total of 238 students of Covenant University in Ota, Ogun, on Friday graduated with first class honours’ degrees at the institution’s 2017/2018 Convocation.
The institution’s Vice-Chancellor (V-C), Prof. Aaron Atayero, disclosed this during the university’s 13th Convocation, the Conferment of Honorary Doctorate Degrees and presentation of prizes to its deserving students in Ota.

The News of Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the university graduated 1,887 students for 2017/2018 Academic Session. They comprised: 238 first class honours, 746 second class upper honours, 452 second class lower, 86 third class and 365 post-graduate students.

NAN reports that Miss Salami Toluwani, from the Department of Industrial Chemistry, College of Sciences emerged the best student with a Cumulative Grade Point of Average (CGPA) of 4.99.

Atayero said that the graduates were not trained to seek but to provide employment and where they get employed, they should distinguish themselves as attested to by employers’ of labour.

“All over the world, our graduates are always breaking the grounds in many human endeavours,” he said.
Atayero attributed the success and milestone achieved by the institution to the high quality of its teaching linked with high quality research.

He implored the graduating students to deploy all what they had been through in solving the nation’s problems: leadership, unemployment, poverty, wanton killings, infrastructural deficit and poor health services.
Also speaking, Dr David Oyedepo, the Chancellor of the university, said there was the need to redefine democracy in the country so as to surmount its challenges.

He noted that leadership was not just about talking but taking the lead. Oyedepo said that leadership was not an endowment, but a product of outstanding accomplishments.

He said that the vision of the institution was to raise a new generation of leaders in every area of human endeavour, which would engender great changes in Nigeria, African and the world at large.

“I implore you all to start thinking about changing and start thinking of solutions to challenges confronting the nation,” he said.

Oyedepo advised the graduating students to imbibe and uphold the core values of the institution.

In a keynote address, Mrs Ibukun Awosika, the Chairman, First Bank of Nigeria PLC., advised the graduating students to identify every problem as an opportunity to proffer solutions to them, especially, those confronting the country.

Awosika said that the graduates had better opportunities because they had real value of education from a good university that impacted quality education on them.

“Challenges do not destroy vision but they empowered vision,” she said.

Awosika, however, advised the graduates not to allow circumstances to overcome their sense of vision.
She also enjoined them to seek knowledge with character, adding that without character, it would be difficult to actualise their dreams.

Every part of the human body needs special care and the feet is no exception. With the desire to keep our feet looking beautiful comes the need to purchase foot wears to adorn and protected our feet.

It is obvious that some people pay less attention to this natural means of transportation we call feet and would rather invest in buying shoes to cover them. However, these beauties are more important than we actually think they are.



The fashion industry has not made it easy for us to overlook the beautiful designs of foot wears they constantly release into the market. Needless to mention the part where we fear we might step on dangerous objects and hurt our feet and so we do not hesitate to protect them with shoes.

If you pay any attention to the shoes around, you will notice that almost all the shoes currently produced have non-conductive soles (mostly rubber or wood) which prevent our feet from connecting with the earth directly. Imagine how funny it’d be if you saw an adult walking barefoot on the streets while you are taking a jog on your work out shoes in the morning. You probably would assume he has gone crazy or try to call his attention to the fact that his feet are naked and need some kind of covering.

But, what if it was possible to give your entire body and mind some quick repair by ditching our beautiful shoes for a few minutes every day? It would probably sound like an abnormal thing to suggest in this modern day, but it is very normal and healthy. Yes, you can give your body some really good therapy by walking bare feet on grass and also on soil.

This practice is called earthing or grounding therapy. Earthing has been in existence for as long as man’s existence on earth. It is assumed that people in the olden days had a higher life expectancy than the humans of today because of how much they were able to tap into nature’s healing powers by consuming wholesome food, exercising their bodies through their daily activities, and of course, earthing.

Many cultures and religions practice earthing because of the believe that walking on bare feet is a way of reconnecting with the universe and staying physically and mentally healthy. Most people, especially in the urban areas, are disconnected from the earth because they no longer put on shoes with soles made of natural animal skin(leather), neither do they walk on bare feet or sleep on the ground.

Walk Barefoot While going to the gym or taking an early morning run is healthy, earthing for a minimum of thirty minutes in the early hours of the morning and in the cool of the evening is a cheaper and stress-free way to exercise your body. Good reasons why you should walk on bare feet.

The earth is electrical, and humans are bioelectrical:

The earth contains electric charges that are subtle in nature and humans are made of cells that transmit electrical charges at various frequencies.

Walking barefoot is a way to recharge yourself and stay in touch with the earth’s natural energies. Sleeping on the ground is another way to connect to these natural energies. However, because of how uncomfortable it can be and the high chances of catching a flu by morning if you sleep on the ground overnight, walking barefoot is the undisputed best option to connecting energetically to the ground.


Earthing therapy reduces pain and inflammation:

The human body has an immune system that fights pathogens and damaged cells by using white blood cells to release free radicals. These free radicals are usually electrically charged because they have an electron imbalance and thus they need to find free electrons to help them neutralize.

In the absence of another source of free electrons, the free radicals could take from a healthy cell and that will cause damage to the cell. This becomes a vicious cycle, and this leads to pains and inflammation. Earthing provides enough free electron to neutralize free radicals and thus prevent inflammation and pain. regular earthing not only prevents but also relives already existing inflammation over time.

Increases blood circulation:

Walking barefoot Help to increase blood circulation in your usually suffocated feet. The freedom your feet enjoys as you exercise it by walking barefoot is the most love your feet deserves as muscle tension is relieved and blood circulates better than when you have your shoes on.

Earthing is good for the eyes:

All the body’s organs can be stimulated from different points of the feet. When we walk, we put much pressure on the first three toes of each foot and the eyes nerve endings are on the second and third toes. Thus, walking on grass or bare soil helps to stimulate these nerves there by keeping your eyes healthy.

Stress relief:

Walking is an exercise that improves cardiovascular health and the green color and grass helps your body to release hormones that help to relax you. Earthing in the early hours of the morning also give you a vitamin D boost through the morning sun.

Grounding improves your sleep life:

Walking barefoot helps you sleep better because of its ability to relax your nerves and improve blood circulation. These are only a few of the numerous benefits of walking barefoot on Mother earth. Nature has blessed us with uncountable sources of healing and recovery from various ailments cause by our different modern lifestyles. Thus, we owe it to ourselves to tap into these free benefits.

A statue of the Virgin Mary has cried tears of olive oil. This was revealed by Catholic church officials in Mexico.
Church leaders in New Mexico say the seven foot tall bronze sculpture is weeping the same chemical substance that, when blessed, would be sacred.




Photos and a video released by the church shows the statue with the liquid on the eyes, cheeks, mouth and chin within the church premises.
The Washington Post reports the type of oil coming from the statue would be used in the Catholic church to anoint parishioners.


The phenomenon is said to have started at the end of May and since then it has reportedly prompted people from all over to visit the church.

Investigators are said to have examined the statue and the surrounding area and there were no signs of tampering.


The manufacturer in Mexico has also denied it could be leaking or secreting some substance.
The priest, Reverend Jose Segura, has said in his 12 years of priesthood, he has never seen anything like it.


Judy Ronquillo, the business manager for the church, said: "It’s something extraordinary for him. He has no words for it.”
Deacon Jim Winder said they have discovered no evidence that the events were man-made.
