President Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the March 28 presidential election has started taking its toll on his wife, Patience. Arrangements had been concluded for her to quit her position as the President of the African Ladies Peace Mission, two months before the expiration of her tenure. The mission comprises of wives of Presidents of all African countries. Mrs. Jonathan was elected the mission’s President at its seventh summit held in Abuja in July 2012 and her tenure would have expired in July 2015 when a new president would have been elected. But because she will cease to be Nigeria’s President’s wife from May 29 when her husband will hand over power to the President- elect, Muhammadu Buhari , Mrs. Jonathan had summoned an emergency summit of the mission for May 15 for the purpose of electing her successor. According to a copy of the invitation to members dated April 6 and personally signed by the President’s wife, she explained that she summoned the emergency summit to ensure that there would not be leadership vacuum in the organisation as it happened in 2010 when her predecessor left office without handing over. She said her desire was to put in place a standard that would strengthen the organisation and ensure effective mechanism to guarantee seamless takeoff for the incoming leadership. The invitation partly read, “…Your Excellency may recall that Nigeria was re-elected President of the AFLPM at the 7th Summit in Abuja in July 2012. With the recent election in my country and a new government coming on board from May 29, 2015, it has become necessary to convene an emergency summit of the AFLPM to facilitate a smooth and formal hand over to the new Executive Committee that will pilot the affairs of the Peace Mission for the next two years. “The Emergency Summit is proposed for Friday, May 15, 2015 at the Interim Secretariat of the African First Ladies Peace Mission, Abuja by 2pm. The Summit will, however, be preceded by the 4th meeting of the Executive Bureau by 9am, on May 15 at the same venue. The Bureau Meeting is for members of the Executive Bureau, comprising South Africa, Sudan, Cameroon, Libya and Congo Brazzaville. “…In the light of the above, may I appeal to Your Excellency to give utmost consideration to attending the Emergency Summit in order to ensure that our organisation maintains its current momentum. “We will deeply appreciate your kind early response to help us in planning the Summit, in view of limited time available to us.” When contacted on the telephone, the Special Assistant to the President on Peace Mission, Mrs. Martha Onwuzurumba, was hesitant. She demanded to know the source of the information from our correspondent. Mrs. Onwuzurumba who is the wife of the President’s Chaplain, Ven. Obioma Onwuzurumba, is said to be in charge of the Mission’s secretariat. She said she would not speak on the matter. “The African First Ladies Peace Mission is not a Non-Governmental Organisation for Nigeria, so I won’t be able to answer your question,” she said. The AFLPM, which aims at promoting peace and harmony in Africa, was established in 1995 after the United Nations’ Conference on Women in Beijing, China.

From the lens of ordinary human experiences, through the day to day realities of work, family and personal life, author Uyi Eguavoen tells a truly revealing, captivating and riveting Nigerian story with an enthralling title ‘The Common Case of Damian Vongcir'. Set in the modern day Nigeria, the book reveals the tough working culture of the Nigerian banking industry - the expectations and unending targets, the tension and insecurity, the greed and corporate interest. The story employed common human elements of choice and chance, friendship and tragedy, love and marriage, strength and weakness, pursuit and disappointment, self-discovery and fulfillment in telling the tale of a banker who is tangled in the chase of corporate success as he struggles with the burdens of his job, the weight of his fears and choices, and his commitment to his young family. With the full benefit of a six digit salary and the love and respect of all his bosses, Damian Vongcir was convinced he has found his path and true happiness as a banker until a single twist changed everything. …all bankers, good or bad, are heroes as much as they meet the boss’s expectation. They are like soldiers walking with the faith of preachers. They count on luck and miracles in an ungracious world where they are more likely to be defeated than victorious, and when they reach that bend where their star fails, they receive no mercy. It’s a type of treachery that is as heinous as the betrayal of friends and the infidelity of wives. But still they must ignore all the odds and fight on, waiting for heavenly grace for new miracles just to stay alive. It was the truth that led him to an inevitable choice; a choice between work and family, his fears and his happiness. In this book, Uyi Eguavoen tactfully deployed wit and candour to present a captivating and unique work of fiction in a manner rarely explored by other Nigerian writers. THE COMMON CASE OF DAMIAN VONGCIR is a classic piece of contemporary prose which exposes the daily struggles of the urban working class in the conscious, and often times unconscious search for that elusive balance between self and ambition, work and family. The experiences of Damian Vongcir serves as a veritable parallel in the lives of millions of people all over the world and therefore a clear mirror through which real life people can view their own actions and choices. Uyi Eguavoen is a graduate of Geography and Regional Planning from the University of Benin. THE COMMON CASE OF DAMIAN VONGCIR is his first novel.

700 migrants are feared dead after their packed 20-meter fishing boat capsized off Libya today April 19th. Reports say the migrants, whose boat was 70 miles (126 km) off the Libyan coast and 110 miles (177 km) south of the Italian island of Lampedusa, issued a distress call to Italy's coastguard who immediately instructed a nearby merchant ship to go to its aid and it was when the merchant ship arrived at the scene that the fishing boat capsized, most likely as the migrants tried to get its attention, stampeding to one side of the boat. UNHCR spokeswoman Carlotta Sami said today's shipwreck appears to be the worst in the Mediterranean "It seems we are looking at the worst massacre ever seen in the Mediterranean,". Meanwhile 28 people survived the incident while 24 bodies have been recovered from the water. 17 Coastal boats are currently combing the Mediterranean to see if there are still possible survivors.

A chilling story from a Nigerian who lives in Centurion, South Africa about an attack on another Nigerian in Johannesburg today. Meanwhile, how many of you have watched those horrible videos on Facebook showing the killing of African immigrants? And they are attacking children. In one video, some children were beaten, tied up and the men poured gasoline on their body.
