Armed men abduct PDP chieftain in Edo, kill orderly, driver

*Wife in critical condition

BY SIMON      EBEGBULEM

BENIN CITY — TRAGEDY struck in Benin City, yesterday, when armed men, suspected to be kidnappers, abducted the Chairman/Managing Director of Tomline Industrial Company Limited and a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Elder Tes Sorae, after his driver and orderly were shot dead.

His wife, who was also shot, is in critical situation at an undisclosed hospital. Vanguard learnt that the suspected kidnappers laid siege to the PDP chieftain at his textile mill residence while Elder Sorae and his family went to church.

It was gathered that the suspected kidnappers opened fire on his vehicle when they arrived from church service and were about entering their compound. It was learnt that the driver and his orderly were shot dead in the process while the wife sustained gunshot injuries.
Vanguard learnt that the shooting created panic in the area as people ran for their lives. The suspected kidnappers met no resistance and that created doubt whether they were actually kidnappers or assassins.

Efforts to get the reaction of the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Peter Ogboi, proved abortive. However, Vanguard learnt from a top police officer at the Command that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr David Omojola, had detailed a team of detectives to investigate the matter.

Christianity EtcTen Things That God Wants You To Do by dapachez(op): 5:41pm On Aug 13, 2011
Effective Immediately: please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines

1. QUIT WORRYING: Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST: Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can’t help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all… God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME: Once you’ve given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE: Don’t wake up one morning and say, “Well, I’m feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here.” Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It’s simple. You gave Me your burdens and I’m taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don’t you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME: I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I’m in control. But there’s one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don’t forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH: I see a lot of things from up here that you can’t see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me; you wouldn’t want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE: You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven’t heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT: I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND: Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF: As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don’t ever forget that!

With all my heart I love you,

GOD

PoliticsThe Fear Of Boko Haram: Abuja Goes Haram by dapachez(op): 11:27am On Jul 04, 2011
*Nightclubbing, haram
*Beer parlours, haram
*Drinking joints, haram
*Parks & gardens, haram
*On-street-parking, haram – after 10pm

By Jide Ajani & Umoru Henry

This is a report of how the fear of Boko Haram is threatening to change night life in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja. It is a season of a long list of forbidden activities after 10pm – including weekends.

It had to make tough decisions. The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, acting on intelligence and sound security advice, is toeing the path of caution. Just as it was in the early days after the September,11,2001 destruction of the twin-towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, USA, with stricter security measures put in place at international and local airports across the globe, the FCTA is also acting in a proactive manner.

The Boko Haram sect, that reportedly struck a deadly blow at the heart of the nation’s security forces, by setting off a bomb at the Police Force Headquarters, has forced the hands of the FCTA officials to send out a message of precaution.

The sect’s name which means banishment or to forbid the enthronement of Western education and culture which has bastardised Islam and the North, thrives on the word haram, which means forbidden.

And, for Abuja, where night life is one of the things keeping Nigeria’s capital city alive and kicking, residents would have to re-adjust to current realities.

Following the bomb explosion that rocked the Force Headquarters and threat by members of the sect to carry out more attacks, the FCTA, last Tuesday, banned on-the-street parking around the Federal Secretariat.

The administration also ordered that all parks and gardens that admit children must close at 6pm daily including weekends. This is just a few in a long list of forbidden engagements in the FCT.

Cinema/film centres and disco/night clubs are now forbidden to operate beyond 10pm daily including weekends.

Also affected are beer parlours, drinking joints and pool centres.

In two statements issued last Tuesday by Muhammad Hazat Sule, the FCTA also declared that it has become forbidden for vehicles to park on the Ahmadu Bello Way, Central District of the Federal Capital City, pointing out that “this is due to the prevailing security situation and the need to ensure safety of lives and property in the Federal Capital Territory”.

The statement read in part, “To this end, motorists and other road-users are advised to make use of the designated parking lot around the area. Any violator of this ban will be promptly arrested for prosecution and vehicle impounded.

“The FCT Administration has announced the immediate review of administration of parks and gardens, cinema/film centre, disco/night clubs and other recreational centres in the Federal Capital Territory.

“Henceforth, all operators of the above-mentioned venues of recreation have been directed to adhere to the following time limit for their operations. Parks & gardens that admit children are to close at 6pm daily including weekends. Cinemas/film centres and disco/night clubs are to close at 10pm daily including weekends. Beer parlours/drinking joints and pool centres are to close at 10pm daily including weekends.

“Operators of all the above-mentioned centres apart from complying with the directive must put in place adequate security on their premises. The entrance and exit points into such premises must be properly manned.

“These measures are necessitated by the need to ensure adequate security of lives and property in the Federal Capital Territory sequel to the prevailing security concerns. Monitoring teams will be going round to ensure strict compliance, please.’’

The police had to quickly make some clarifications regarding the nature and meaning of the fresh measures. This clarification came at a time when some residents were already insinuating that this was a form of curfew.

The police authorities insisted that movement around the capital city has not been forbidden beyond 10pm. The police also clarified that it would work to enforce compliance of the new measures as it would go a long way in reducing possible casualties from any bombing attempt by the sect members. Abuja is known for its night life. As early as 5:30 pm every day, parks and drinking joints begin to receive customers who retire first at the joints before going home to rest for the day. Most of the parks operate till the early hours of the following day.

The reason for this is largely because a better proportion of middle income earners who work in the capital city reside in satellite towns around Abuja and find it difficult driving straight home after work. Some choose to cool off because of the traffic situation on their way home while others use the parks as recreation points where other further forms of extra-curricular activities take place.

There are those who shift business discussions to the joints in the hope and belief that business deals can be wrapped up before the following day’s work. Some even open and go through office files while enjoying their drinks. Fresh fish, roasted chicken, nwkobi (cow leg) and isi-ewu (goat head), snail, beef, bush meat and are all regular delicacies served at the joints and parks. At weekends, some of the joints do not close until about 2am or 3am.

Interestingly, the forbidden time of operation which is 10pm is usually the time when the joints begin to witness a surge in patronage from customers. It is at about that time that customers begin to troop in, sometimes in the company of friends – males and females alike.
Unfortunately, all these are now haram, after 10pm.
