Family / NARROW Escape:family Survives As Their Car Collides With Train by ellagal(f): 6:27pm On Dec 18, 2013
Pastor Segun Oderinde with a Lagos-based Pentecostal church, his wife, brother-in-law, and a child narrowly escaped death as their vehicle collided with a train.

At about 12 a.m. yesterday morning, Mr. Oderinde and his family members were driving a Toyota Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) along Agege-Abule Egba road when the incident occurred.

Recounting the ordeal, Mr. Oderinde expressed his gratitude to God for saving them, as they escaped death by whiskers.

They family were making their way back home from the Murtala Mohammed Airport where they picked up the in-law who had just returned from the United States of America.

"We were coming back from the airport when we collided with the train which was coming from the Oko-Oba end of the rail line.

"As we tried to avoid it, the train crushed some parts of our vehicle and dragged it along the tracks for some metres," Oderinde said.

He said the other members of the family were currently at a hospital in Lagos where they were being treated for "minor injuries."

OO MUCH MONEY: Check-Out The Cars At the Student Parking Lot of The American University Of Dubai [PHOTOS]
Posted by Naijaonpoint CollinsFeatures 10:08 am

This is the height, its highly impossible to see such in Nigeria, even senior lecturers don't have cars like this, it just shows how good money is and how much it can make a person happy.
 
 Reddit user Squirrelnelius, aka Meeka Nasser, is a student at the American University of Dubai, and posted these photos of the amazing cars that fill the school's parking lot. He wrote:
Because Cayennes and Range Rovers are a dime a dozen here, I only included a few of them in the album.
Keep in mind, almost all of the students are between 18 and 24 years old, as the graduate program is pretty tiny here. The students that drive the insanely expensive cars (Rolls Royces and Bentleys etc.) are usually local (Emirati) for those wondering.

Nairaland / General / Slideshow Of 15year-old Girl Buried 500years Ago,still Looking Alive by ellagal(f): 11:52am On Dec 18, 2013
Slideshow of 15 Year-old Girl Buried 500 Years Ago, Still Looking Alive with her Skin all Intact



SALTA, Argentina — The maiden, the boy, the girl of lightning: they were three Inca children, entombed on a bleak and frigid mountaintop 500 years ago as a religious sacrifice…

Unearthed in 1999 from the 22,000-foot summit of Mount Llullaillaco, a volcano 300 miles west of here near the Chilean border, their frozen bodies were among the best preserved mummies ever found, with internal organs intact, blood still present in the heart and lungs, and skin and facial features mostly unscathed. No special effort had been made to preserve them. The cold and the dry, thin air did all the work. They froze to death as they slept, and 500 years later still looked like sleeping children, not mummies.
In the eight years since their discovery, the mummies, known here simply as Los Niños or “the children,” have been photographed, X-rayed, CT scanned and biopsied for DNA. The cloth, pottery and figurines buried with them have been meticulously thawed and preserved. But the bodies themselves were kept in freezers and never shown to the public — until last week, when La Doncella, the maiden, a 15-year-old girl, was exhibited for the first time, at the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology, which was created in Salta expressly to display them.

The new and the old are at home in Salta. The museum faces a historic plaza where a mirrored bank reflects a century-old basilica with a sign warning churchgoers not to use the holy water for witchcraft. Now a city of 500,000 and the provincial capital, Salta was part of the Inca empire until the 1500s, when it was invaded by the Spanish conquistadors

lthough the mummies captured headlines when they were found, officials here decided to open the exhibit quietly, without any of the fanfare or celebration that might have been expected.

“These are dead people, Indian people,” said Gabriel E. Miremont, 39, the museum’s designer and director. “It’s not a situation for a party.”

The two other mummies have not yet been shown, but will be put on display within the next six months or so.

The children were sacrificed as part of a religious ritual, known as capacocha. They walked hundreds of miles to and from ceremonies in Cuzco and were then taken to the summit of Llullaillaco (yoo-yeye-YAH-co), given chicha (maize beer), and, once they were asleep, placed in underground niches, where they froze to death. Only beautiful, healthy, physically perfect children were sacrificed, and it was an honor to be chosen. According to Inca beliefs, the children did not die, but joined their ancestors and watched over their villages from the mountaintops like angels.

Discussing why it took eight years to prepare the exhibit, Dr. Miremont smiled and said, “This is South America,” but then went on to explain that there was little precedent for dealing with mummies as well preserved as these, and that it took an enormous amount of research to figure out how to show them yet still make sure they did not deteriorate.
The solution turned out to be a case within a case — an acrylic cylinder inside a box made of triple-paned glass. A computerized climate control system replicates mountaintop conditions inside the case — low oxygen, humidity and pressure, and a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit. In part because Salta is in an earthquake zone, the museum has three backup generators and freezers, in case of power failures or equipment breakdowns, and the provincial governor’s airplane will fly the mummies out in an emergency, Dr. Miremont said.

Asked where they would be taken, he replied, “Anywhere we can plug them in.”

The room holding La Doncella is dimly lighted, and the case itself is dark; visitors must turn on a light to see her.

“This was important for us,” Dr. Miremont said. “If you don’t want to see a dead body, don’t press the button. It’s your decision. You can still see the other parts of the exhibit.”

He designed the lighting partly in hope of avoiding further offense to people who find it disturbing that the children, part of a religious ritual, were taken from the mountaintop shrine.

Whatever the intention, the effect is stunning. Late in August, before the exhibit opened, Dr. Miremont showed visitors La Doncella. At a touch of the button, she seemed to materialize from the darkness, sitting cross-legged in her brown dress and striped sandals, bits of coca leaf still clinging to her upper lip, her long hair woven into many fine braids, a crease in one cheek where it leaned against her shawl as she slept.

The bodies seemed so much like sleeping children that working with them felt “almost more like a kidnapping than archaeological work,” Dr. Miremont said.

One of the children, a 6-year-old girl, had been struck by lightning sometime after she died, resulting in burns on her face, upper body and clothing. She and the boy, who was 7, had slightly elongated skulls, created deliberately by head wrappings — a sign of high social status, possibly even royalty.

Crime / Horror:woman Pours Hot Water On In-law by ellagal(f): 8:15pm On Dec 14, 2013
What level of anger would make a woman want another human being dead or incapacitated? What more if the person concerned is a relation of her spouse? These are some of the questions agitating the minds of residents of Lomak Street in Laranto area of Jos where a woman poured bubbling hot water on her late husband’s cousin after a disagreement. But for mother luck which made him duck instinctively as the hot water came on him, 16-year old Kim Henry Davou could have been worse off as his eyes and face were saved.

However, the left part of his head down to his waste was scorched by the hot water leaving him in pain and anguish.

Nairaland / General / Bizarre!naked Bath In'pool Of Bethesda' by ellagal(f): 11:21am On Dec 14, 2013
The news fly all around and the hitherto serene community becomes busy playing host to people from far and near seeking miracle healing to their ailments in a stream that sprang up suddenly.
The physically challenged, the aged, young, men and women including people with different kinds of sicknesses throng the pool in droves, dip themselves naked in the 3-4feet deep stagnated water, wash the ailing parts of their bodies believing they are healed.
Although the testimonies were not forth coming, the lame, blind still assisted with mixed feelings, believed that they will be healed.

‘Pool of Bethesda’
The mysterious pool, called Orimiri located in a forest about 3km from the Nachi bus-stop along Onitsha/Enugu old road, allegedly heals all kinds of ailments after it was discovered by a Fulani herdsman recently.
Since the discovery, the community has become a pilgrimage center with no fewer than 3000 people thronging the place daily. From morning till 6pm daily, okada ply through that narrow and sandy path carrying passengers and their loads of jerry cans to the stream.
When Saturday Vanguard visited the stream, scores of people especially women were seen naked dipping their bodies in the already contaminated stream in the quest for healing. As those with tumor, sores and injuries wash their bodies without any reservation, the physically challenged were being assisted by their relatives for thorough bath. Others were busy scooping up water from different holes dug around the bank into their plastic containers of various sizes.
The people’s craze for healing was also seen as they collect sands from the stream into cellophane bags to their homes believing even the sands under the water was as effective as the stream itself.  The trees in the surroundings were also not spared as people chop trees into various sizes with a claim that it cures all kinds of sicknesses.
But none of these miracle seekers at the stream as at the time of visit could give a clear testimony of the healing he or she had received.  Most of them who spoke with us opined that they believe it will work.
A middle aged woman, who refused to give her real names who never suspected she was talking to the press, said: “I just came here for to exercise my faith. I have not seen any one though, but I believe it. I just had a bath in the water and I believe it.  I believe God that I will be okay.”
But Donatus Ike, who claims he has been coming to the stream on a daily basis since the news of the healing power broke said: “I always come here every day to work; I guide people in doing certain things here.  The water has healing power.  A lot of people came from far and near. Not too long ago, Rev. Mbaka came here, he prayed for people. The lame will work, the blind will see.  You can see a crutch over there; it was dropped by somebody who couldn’t work.”
Amobi Chukwu in his own view said: “I think it is all about faith.  What you call medicine is medicine for you.  I also believe the water has healing power. The water is dirty and it was because a lot of people come here and bath inside the water and you know this is not a flowing river.  That is why people dig the river bank to get better water to drink.  It is drinkable.”
But the controversies surrounding the healing power of the stream, began to unfold as Rev. Father  Chikezie Cypril a.k.a Okanga Jesus, the Parish Priest, St. Michael Catholic Church, Oji, Enugu described those who seek healing from the stream are spiritual puppets. Cypril who is also the Chaplain of the Physically Challenged in the area said, said he has not heard from any of the physically challenged in his domain that one person had been healed from the water.  “I don’t believe it.
I am the chaplain of the physically challenged and none of them has come to me to give that testimony of healing; and this is happening in their area. I mean not even one person has come to confirm it.  I know that most of them have gone there and nothing is happening. So, you see, people tend to confuse you with certain things.  As I am speaking to you, no member of this community has shared a testimony about the water.”

Seeking healing at the pool
In the same vein, Chief Ignatius Ene Chikeluba who claimed he was born in the farmland gave an insight into the beginning of the whole parody. He stated that it was the Fulani herdsmen who concocted and spread the story of healing power without any clear evidence. “Throughout the period I stayed in the farmland, we have never heard about the healing power being ascribed to the water. It is a concoction of the Fulani herdsmen.  I know that revelation from God can come through any body but my advice to them is that whatever they are saying should be the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” Chikeluba stated.

The traditional ruler of Nachi community, His Royal Highness, Igwe F. O. Onuigbo, Obi II of Nachi, in his own submission said the water has been there for a very long time, adding that the healing power ascribed to it was only a recent phenomenon which he did not confirm.
“River Nachi is natural water which has been there for a very long time which people use for their cooking, drinking and washing. The healing power is something new and I have not visited the place. But the water has been there before. People said it is healing; I can’t stop anybody from going there to seek cure and healing. I have no right to do that.”
On the pattern surge, Igwe Onuigbo said he didn’t know about the coming and occasional surge of the water. “I do no know of that”
He confirmed that the land where the water is situated has been in dispute between Ameke and Umuaga for a very long time, adding that efforts are on-going to resolve the issue between the two communities amicably.
History of the water
Chief Ignatius Chikeluba, a Chief in Umuaga-Nachi, who claimed the farm land belongs to his father, gave historical perspective of the stream. “According to my own father, Ogbonnaya Ene Chikeluba, there was a man called Aniene, a native of Umuaga, he was the first man who saw the water.  He used to be a farmer in the area.  He came out one morning to discover the sudden surge of the water.  He ran out to call others that were farming in the area to witness it.  At that point, the water was named Miri Aniene.
This happened long time before I was born, it was never known as having healing powers.  We used it to wash cloths, cassava and other culinary activities. It used to surge after every seven years.  After the war, it came in 1972, 1979, 1986, 1994, 2000, 2005 and now 2013. When it comes, it is usually there until the next raining season. It is deterred by the rain or sun shine, it comes at any season of the year.  We have never worshipped the water before.”
“Before it came this year, there were Fulani herdsmen who live in that farm; they always take their cattle there to drink from the water.  So, recently, a group of people came to my house, I recognised one of them who had lived there before, and I asked curiously whether he wanted to return to the farm again and he said no.  But he said that the water which used to spring up had sprung up again and that it has healing power – curing all kinds of ailments.  I told him that we don’t know about that.  He said they discovered the healing power of the water the last time it came and they asked the herdsmen to be monitoring it.  So, the Fulani herdsmen who have been monitoring it informed immediately it came out.  After a while, another group of herdsmen came and said the same thing. But I pointed it out to them that their cattle had damaged my farm and they should do something about it and they moved away from the area.  But surprisingly, after some time, another group of people came this time, with some Igbos. I was the one who cleared the way to the river.  I have palm tree in that place, banana plantation, cola-nut trees, orange among others.  It is a farm settlement of Umuaga.  At this junction, I want to state that the Nachi people have been trying to encroach on the land claiming it belongs to them, but it belongs to the people of Umuaga.  The water is from God. And whoever says the water has not been there is trying to pull the wool over our faces.  My house is there, and the water has been there.  The king who does not know Joseph will not know Joseph was buried. I was born there and my father’s house is still there now.  To, me it is the Fulani herdsmen that are responsible for this misinformation.  Throughout the period I stayed in the farmland, we have never heard about the story of healing power being ascribed to the water. It is a concoction of the Fulani herdsmen.  I know that the revelation of God can come through any body but my advice to them is that whatever they are saying, should be the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
I don’t believe it — Rev Fr Chikezie Cypril a.k.a Okanga Jesus
Rev Father Chikezie Cypril a.k.a Okanga Jesus is the Parish Priest, St. Michael Catholic Church, Oji, Enugu and also the Chaplain of the Care for the Physically Challenged in the area. He spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the healing power of Pool of Bethesda.
The mystery river that is said to be healing is happening in your parish, what can you say about it?
I am privileged that this is taking place in my parish, but unfortunately, I have not gone there to see what is happening there, but I have seen a lot of people going there for healing. For the fact that I have not been there does not mean I wouldn’t know whether what is going on there is good or bad. My opinion is that it is better to seek God than seeking the blessing of God.  This is because if you seek God, the blessing of God will come your way. If you seek the face of God, you will get the hand of God.  Unfortunately people think that God is not alive to their problem. Most people who go there are those who have little or no time for the word of God and they spend a lot of time there waiting for their turn.  If only they can spend their time for God, healing will come their way. That is why I will not find the time to go there because there is nothing better than seeking God.
But we heard that Rev. Mbaka was there and he prayed at the river?
Maybe he went there to know what is happening, but also remember that Mbaka is not God. It does not matter whether the Bishop or the Pope was there or not, what matters is that people should seek God.  What about those who don’t have the opportunity to go there, do you mean they will not be healed?   I see it as a kind of madness when people go there and take bath while they also take the same water and drink.
But one funny thing about it is that, I don’t believe it.  I am the chaplain of the physically challenged   and none of them has come to me that they are healed and this is happening in their area. I mean not even one person has come to confirm it.  I know that most of them have gone there and nothing is happening. So, you see, people tend to confuse you with certain things.  As I am speaking to you, no member of this my community has come to me to share a testimony about the water.  I know if it is real as people tend to portray it, one or two persons in the community must have been noticed and if we see it, we will be the promoter.
You see, one has to be very sensible about it; a lot of people are making money on this situation.  For example, if you tell the Okada riders who are making money from the situation that it is not real, they will say you don’t know what you are talking about.  But let us trust God, power belongs to God.  It is when we commune with God that we see the power of God in our lives. I see those who go there as spiritual puppets.

A commercial driver , Ali Wando who came from Gwoza into Maiduguri told our correspondent, “I saw three corpses by the roadside at Ngauramari which were dismembered by the rocket launcher fired at them by the military when they came on their tricycle.”

Education / BREAKING NEWS ON ASUU:government Withdraws Ultimatun,cbn Confirms #200b Account by ellagal(f): 7:40am On Dec 11, 2013
The Federal Government (FG) announced on Tuesday that it was withdrawing the ultimatum given to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) protesters resume or be sacked following appeals from well-meaning Nigerians and substantial compliance with the directive by some members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

If was claimed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had confirmed that a sum of two hundred billion Naira agreed with ASUU at a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan on the 5th of November, 2013 has been fully paid into a Revitalization of Universities Infrastructure Account.

The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, speaking with journalists, demonstrated the CBN letter which was signed by the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Tunde Lemo and addressed to the Accountant General of the Federation, which letter confirms that the said sum of money was the balance in the account as required.

Mr. Okupe pointed out that the FG was interested in resolving the lingering crisis in a peaceful manner for the overall interest of all concerned.

He added,

"Right now, the issue of ultimatum is not a matter for discussion anymore. There has been substantial compliance nationwide. If I say you must return to work on the 9th and 70% of the people that I am talking to have returned to work, that is substantial compliance.

"Government appreciates the fact that a number of universities have either resumed academic activities or announced resumption dates in line with the directives earlier issued by the Committee of Pro Chancellors. We appreciate the fact that many chapters of ASUU have resumed work and many more will follow suit shortly."

He added that with the evidence of the availability of the N200m for immediate disbursement to the universities, it was expected that ASUU would call off the strike.
