Senior students of The John Carroll School in Bel Air surprised their Nigerian classmate by sponsoring his mother’s visit for his graduation. Mike Tertsea left Nigeria four years ago to study at The John Carroll School in Bel Air, hence his mum had not seen him him for four years. Felicia Ikpum on getting to the US didn’t even recognized her son when she met him at the airport on Friday. Mike Tertsea, a John Carroll senior from Nigeria, was surprised to learn his class pitched in to help bring his mother, Felicia Ikpum, in for his graduation after being apart for four years. (Baltimore Sun) “He has changed completely,” a smiling Ikpum said after the school’s baccalaureate ceremony Wednesday. Mike, a basketball player at John Carroll who plans to attend the University of Rhode Island, was surprised to learn that the whole senior class, joined by faculty members, had made contribution to make it possible for his mother to make the trip from Benue State, Nigeria, to see him graduate from high school. “I was really, really surprised,” Mike said with a wide smile after the ceremony. “It is really a blessing and I thank everyone for coming here.” Ikpum traveled 12 hours through dangerous territory to get to an airport and fly to the U.S., school spokesperson Joe Schuberth said. “It was a tough drive for her,” Mike said. “She said at one point, she felt like giving up.” It was also her first time on an airplane, and “for a while, she couldn’t recognize me and couldn’t believe it was her son,” Mike said. Toward the end of the school’s annual ceremony and Mass, Principal Madelyn Ball told the friends and relatives gathered in the gym that one student had asked, “Is Mike’s mom coming to graduation?” “Everyone was concerned because, you see, Mike has not been home for four years,” Ball said. She then explained how the senior class was able to raise $1,763 for his mom’s trip. When “there were some issues once the flight was booked,” because the class was about $500 short, class co-advisor Carrie Siemsen raised the remaining money within a few hours by emailing faculty and staff. Mike and his mother got a standing ovation as they were asked to come up on the stage, where they each thanked the senior class for bringing them together. Some students seemed to be wiping away tears as Mike and his mother made their way to the stage. Mike said he is an only child and his mother is his only immediate relative. Growing up in the Benue area did mean real challenges, Mike said. “People sometimes don’t have food to eat; it’s hard to get food.” Ikpum, 56, said when she saw her son, “I screamed, I shouted.” “I was so excited,” she said about seeing him after four years, noting they had only spoken by phone over the years. Besides playing basketball at college, the 6-foot, 10-inch tall senior said earlier he is considering pursuing economics or business management. Asked about her son’s accomplishments, Ikpum said: “It’s crazy.” “I just believe God will take care of him, and the people here are nice,” she said. When they talked on the phone over the four years, “He was happy, and I am happy.” http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/harford/belair/ph-ag-john-carroll-nigerian-student-0527-20160526-story.html

We should be collecting all the seismic information we can get because I shudder to think of an earthquake with this our very poor emergency management system. |
RESIDENTS of Saki in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State are now living in palpable fear over what they described as earth tremor that started few weeks ago. Places where the deafening underground vibration are rampant are Medinat, Veterinary and Ogbooro areas of the town. Gov. Senator Abiola Ajimobi According to Wikipedia, an earth tremor (also known as a earthquake or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. Tremor can be violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. Nigeria experienced tremor in 1933, 1939, 1964, 1984, 1990, 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2009. The National President, Building Collapse Prevention Guild, Mr Kunle Awobodu, an expert in the built environment, recently stated that Nigeria, particularly the South-West region was not immuned to tremor. According to him, geophysical and geological studies have discovered that a fault zone that connects with the Atlantic fracture system exists along Ifewara in Osun State and Zungeru in Niger State. Meanwhile, an eyewitness, Alhaji Dauda Tijani said the underground vibration, which shakes houses in the affected areas to their foundations was very disturbing. For fear of being caught unawares, residents of the areas have left the community in droves. He said: “The terrible vibration started about three months ago, but we thought it was a mere noise that would stop. Instead of stopping, it happens on regular basis. At times, the ground could vibrate five times a day and at times, it may not vibrate within three days. “People are very confused and have vacated the affected areas. My child was living there before, but he has been living with me for the past one and half months.” “When the ground vibrates, buildings in the areas would be shaking seriously and then stop”. Another eyewitness, Mr Adeola Fehintola, a lawyer, said the tremor was very unsettling. According to him, the Oyo State Government sent some people here, but they are not showing enough seriousness about the issue. “The Federal Government should please send experts here to see what the noise is. If it is something they can prevent or do something about, let them come quickly. We see this thing as something that needs urgent attention so that when it eventually happens, there will be no casualty. Residents have deserted the area as I’m speaking with you and many more are moving their things out, he said. When Vanguard called the Special Adviser on Environment to Governor Abiola Ajimobi, he directed enquiries to the Permanent Secretary on Environment, Oguntola Gabriel who said when something like that happens, it is a precursor to an earthquake. He said: “First of all, we have not been there. I was in Abuja and I just came back. When the ground vibrates like that, it’s a precursor to an earthquake. But, for now, I can’t validate that. This week, we will make sure we are there to see what is happening.” [url]Source[/url] |

He said: “For instance, when Chief MKO Abiola was in prison, many notable Nigerians visited him. They will visit him in the morning, and when they come back to the Villa in the evening to see Abacha, they would say a different thing entirely.^^^^ In 'Yoruba Ronu', Gbenga Adeboye (R I P) alluded to this same comments, Abiola had too many enemies and there were too many greedy dramatis personae in the whole June 12 aborted pregnancy ................. ![]() |
