Nairaland / General / History And Origin Of April Fo0ls' Day by FXKing2012(m): 1:18pm On Apr 01, 2013
April Fools' Day is observed throughout the world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things. The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril , or "April Fish." French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is
discovered.

April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light- hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.

Ancient cultures , including those of the Romans and Hindus , celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated January1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's day to January 1.

According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.

Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University. He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event.

"In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day. In those times fools were really wise men. It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor."

This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves.

ezme:

His accomplices claim he has been killed. You have no evidence that he is alive. Unless, you have records any online activity by him, ATM withdrawals, Phone call records or even internet presence(facebook and other social media). You may just be declaring a dead man wanted.
[b] Ok, let's be very very logical and objective like detectives here and try to come up with possible answers to the following:

1) Why would he pack all his belongings away from the house?

2) He needed to "disappear" after the operation so claiming to have killed him by his gang is a very effective way of achieving this. We have so many cases, especially in the U.S, where the criminal faked his own death and changed his identity in order to discourage being tracked or trailed by investigators. Such people dont use cards or lines that may suggest they are still alive. It's a classic move; it's nothing new.

3) Why inform the victim he has been killed? What exactly do they stand to gain by passing on the information of his purported death to the victim?

4) Since they were generous enough to supply the information about his death, why didnt they equally supply the information of where they dumped his body? Or did they carry the body away? And if you think so, of what use could his body (which would be a dead wood that slows them down in a bid to escape) be to them?

5) Why was his action that morning very unusual as reported by the other security guard?

6) The suspect has both the motive and the means as well as the precedence, so what is to stop him from carrying out the crime? This is someone who uses his facebook account to scam people, so what stops him from being invoved in kidnapping? Remember that on his facebook account he claims to have attended Oxford College and working for ChevronTexaco as technical coordinator.

If you have my kind of investigative mind then you should be thinking what I'm thinking after wrapping your head around this enigma. We must learn to think outside the box and read between the lines because things are not always what they appear to be. Investigative work is never just black and white...

Jarus is a journalist who knows absolutely nothing about investments, besides this is someone who twice resigned as a moderator on the politics board.

ezme:
The fact his properties seem to have been moved before the incident is the only reason he could be termed an accomplice.
Also because he has remained at large plus he has refused to go to the police to explain himself despite all that happened.

ezme: Do people really recognize wanted persons when the walk past them in real life especially with all that chaos in Lagos?
His neighbours, friends, acquaintances and future employers/business partners can recognize
