What could have breached the palpable peace in Ukpor town, Nnewi South LGA, Anambra state was averted on Sunday, June 18th when a 'whistle blower' revealed to a particular family who owns a farmland at Umudim village, beside Gate of heaven mortuary, along Onuselogu road that he saw a man(name withheld by us) burying what looked like dangerous charms in their farm when he decided to answer the call of nature in the bush.
The owner of the farm immediately alerted his son who resides in Onitsha on what happened.
According to our correspondent, before 7am on Sunday, his son arrived Ukpor in anger and vowed to deal with whoever that was involved in such act. The whistle blower was called upon and reminded about the consequences of false information but he sworn with their village deity that he saw the man burying the charm.
Just like Nollywood movies, the owner of the farm with his son accompanied by few other people immediately proceeded to the house of the man who was accused of burying the charms.
On getting there, the man denied ever engaging in such act but claimed that one of his friends from Nnewi begged him to use the place for something he 'wasn't aware of' the previous day. A delegation was sent to Nnewi to get the man but he was said to have ran away when he saw people 'invading' his house in a suspicious manner.
What Have You Learnt From Your Dad That Gets You Going.
The accused was queried on why he allowed someone to use a land that doesn't belong to him but he claimed the man said he saw something interesting in the land and that's probably why he decided to use it.
In a twinkle of an eye, the "whole of Ukpor" gathered in Umudim waiting for the drama to unfold.
The youths equally gathered in their numbers and threatened to beat him up if he didn't want to say the truth.
Our correspondent said the man later confessed that he actually buried the charms there with the help of other 3 native doctors. He equally agreed to exhume them if only the youth would spare his life.
Australia is 7.692 million km².This means the country is over 8 times bigger than Nigeria which is 923,768 km² big. Australia however is divided into 6 states and 2 tiny territories.Each state in Australia has its own constitution, is equal to other states and equal to the federal government of Australia. Canada with 9.985 million km² land mass is even a bigger federation but is politically divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories.Each province is autonomous and none waits for the central government to send it allocations every month to pay secondary school teachers or build roads. In India federalism,the state of Utter Pradesh has a landmass of 243,290 km² which is almost as big as the whole of Southern Nigeria and an estimated 204 million population which is bigger than Nigeria population.Utter Pradesh is still one of the 29 states of India and is constitutionally equal to Goa, another Indian state with just 3,702 km² land mass and 1.8 million population. The argument about political division of constituent states/regions of Nigeria based on landmass is inane.The old men clinging to this lame proposition to oppose restructuring and the birth of true federalism in Nigeria belong to the medieval times. Nigeria is naturally suited for 6 states of equal status along the 6 existing geopolitical zones.Six states as federating units each with its own constitution,50% derivation,30% payable to a distributable account and 20% to the FG will make Nigeria better than those other federal countries mentioned above. We will continue to say no to this structured poverty, underdevelopment,violence and chaos of the 36 unviable states structure endorsed by the 1999 constitution. Written By Mbe Nwaniga.

Newshelm: A birthday symposium was held in honour of the Transport Minister and former Governor of Rivers State, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, who recently turned 52.
While Amaechi was speaking at the event held in Port Harcourt, on Friday night, Channels Television placed a disclaimer dissociating themselves from the the ex-governor's views. Those who watched it said he was talking about Governor Wike, and what he was saying was apparently so offensive that the TV station eventually yanked him off their network.

Please note that economic activities in the north-east has suffered greatly from the war against Boko Haram. Another thing that is clear from this statistics is that every region in Nigeria depends on oil from the Niger Delta. It is not as if they can't work harder to survive without oil money, but if you compare what they're generating currently to what they're receiving in federation account allocation, then you would understand why they're so lazy. . Another thing from the statistics is that the South-West is the only region in Nigeria that can survive right now no matter what happens in the oil industry. Funny enough, they're also the only region making the least noise and focusing completely on development. No wonder the economy of the country is controlled by individuals from that region. . Another thing to point out from this statistics is that the south-east has no superiority claim over the north. It is pure wickedness for those who clamour for Biafra to watch the economy of that region suffer while they preach about what would've been if they had their pipe dream. Why have all those who are promising to make Biafra heaven on earth not coming up with those ideas to improve the IGR of the south-eastern states, so as to at least improve the living condition of the people living there? Look at Lagos, look at Ogun, look at Kano, look at Rivers State and the high IGR they all command... Igbos are one of the biggest contributors to those IGRs, not by force but by choice, and they do so by freely associating with people from those regions. But Ogun State alone generates more revenue than all the south-eastern states combined, which means that on the strength of this statistics, it is arguable that the Igbos do better by associating with other people, and will perform woefully by staying on their own.
wot a biased post. anambra has not released it's data for 2016.
ROWDY SESSION AS REPS REJECT SOUTH EAST DEVELOPMENT BILL.
Proceedings in the House of Representatives was rowdy, for over 20 minutes, when lawmakers, mostly from the South East and South-South protested rejection of a bill seeking to establish a South East Development Commission. To further compound the situation, the bill, which was put to vote, twice, by Speaker Yakubu Dogara, was defeated in a voice vote where it was difficult to distinguish between the ‘nays’ and the ‘ayes.’ Earlier, Dogara had announced commencement of debate on the bill and called on the leader of the South East caucus and lead sponsor of the bill, Chukwuka Onyema to http://sunnewsonline.com/rowdy-session-as-reps-reject-south-east-development-bill/ the debate.

Kayus4real: there was this girl I loved some times ago. I really loved her, I could do anything for her. she treated me badly, ignoring my calls most time and when she picked it, it would be a nightmare. She was so arrogant, rude and unpleasant. there was a day she told me she couldn't date me because I was so broke. She slapped me and threw dirty water on my clothes. It got to me that day and I was very depressed. I moved on.. despite the whole ugly event.
I got a job in a big firm two years ago and I can say I'm comfortable now. she called asking for an assistance I think I'm capable of rendering. Should I help her out? please I need your sincere advice..
y not as long as u would not request anything in return.
those who crucified Christ are among those he feed healed n cared for.
