These men in uniforms are jst cowards that derive pleasure from oppressing civilians. I was almost lynched by one on Saturday night if I did not resort to d good old " I'm sorry sir!!!". I ve seen where an okada man was told to suck d boobs of a lady dt was accused of dressing indecently. Its a big shame

....If this happened.

While some are busy asking around for a full story, they seem to have forgotten that whatever a civilian could have done to a soldier, he has no right to raise hands on the civilian. Some comments here make me believe that the barbarity that the soldiers have always meted out on us has gone past the physical level, and is now psychological. Why not? When some oof us have the feeling that these animal soldiers have any right to raise their hands on us and do what they want - even when trivial arguments happen.

A 13-year-old bar attendant, Ezekiel Emmanuel, who was allegedly set ablaze by his boss for stealing N1,500 in the Akoka, Ibafo area of Ogun State, has died in the hospital.

PUNCH Metro reported on Friday that the Ogun State Police Command was searching for the bar manager, Mr. Bidemi Shittu, who allegedly poured petrol on the teenager on Monday, February 9, and set him on fire.

Emmanuel, it was reported, had been rescued from the fire by residents and rushed to a private hospital in the area, from where he was referred to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital the following day.

It was also reported that Shittu, who is manager of Golden Fingers bar, Akoka, Ibafo, had gone into hiding after the incident.

Our correspondent, however, learnt on Sunday that Emmanuel died in LASUTH. The teenager reportedly died on Sunday morning.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Emmanuel’s uncle, Mr. Toyin Olayemi, said the family members, who had not been allowed to see the boy in the hospital, were told by the police on Sunday that Emmanuel had died.

He said, “The Ibafo Divisional Police Officer called me on the phone on Sunday that the family should come to the station. It was there that we were told the shocking news of Emmanuel’s demise. He died on Sunday morning. He did not survive the burns.

“On Saturday, his father and I were at the hospital. The doctors and nurses initially prevented us from seeing him, but when the father wanted to make trouble, they let him in for a few minutes.

“Emmanuel’s condition was critical. He was burned from the head to the abdomen. Unfortunately, the suspect’s father, Pa Shittu, whose wife was with Emmanuel in the hospital, lied to us that our son’s condition was improving, but it was not.”

Our correspondent learnt that youths in the area who learned of the boy’s demise, went on rampage and threatened to raze the bar but were prevented by policemen from the Ibafo Police Division.

It was gathered that the police, who earlier sealed off the bar, had also locked up a hotel beside it which belonged to the suspect’s father.

Our correspondent gathered that the teenager’s corpse had been deposited at the LASUTH morgue.

Meanwhile, police sources in Ibafo told our correspondent that the police were still making efforts to locate Bidemi’s whereabouts and arrest him.

Spokesman for the state police command, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the death of the attendant.

He said, “The boy died on Sunday, around 6am.”

At least 11 female supporters of the First Lady, Patience Jonathan, died in a road accident on Saturday night, officials have said.
The victims were all in the same bus that was involved in the accident. They were Bayelsa branch leaders of an organisation, Women For Change, that is sponsored by Mrs. Jonathan.
The accident occurred at Ahoada axis of East-West road in Rivers State.
The Bayelsa Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Vincent Jack, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday.
Mr. Jack explained that nine persons were burnt to death, two died without burns, while many others who sustained injuries were rushed to Madonna clinic in the area.
According to him, the accident occurred when the tyres of a Toyota Sienna burst and rammed into the bus carrying the women. The bus, which had the inscription of the organisation, subsequently went up in flames.
A former councillor in Ogbia Local Government Area, Gbaregolo Eseimokumo, listed some of the victims as Consider Amadi, a former women leader in Ogbia; Clara Abila, a grassroots politician; Immaculate Amasimua, former Commissioner at the Civil Service Commission in Bayelsa; and Elisabeth Oguru, wife of the Secretary to the State Government.
Others are Zimbra Goma, former Commissioner for Women Affairs; Ruby Benjamin, former House of Assembly member representing Brass Constituency 1 in Bayelsa; amongst others.
A security official said all the women in the bus, but one, were killed. The survivor is receiving medical attention.
The women were said to have paid a two-day solidarity visit to the first lady in Okirika, Rivers State.

“It is they that should produce proof that we have not produced the cards, because INEC has produced those cards and put them in the public domain. Anybody who says it is not like that should produce proof,” Mr. Idowu said.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has refuted allegations made against it by Nigeria’s ruling party, PDP, and asked the party to prove them.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO, had alleged that the commission was deliberately preventing valid voters in certain sections of the country from getting their Permanent Voter Cards.
The campaign organisation’s spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, said at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday that the PVCS were yet to be imported to Nigeria, and were still in China where they were produced.
Mr. Fani-Kayode added that INEC was deliberately distributing the PVCs in such manner as to disenfranchise many voters from North Central, South-East, South-South and South-West geo-political zones. He claimed those voters were supporters of the PDP candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.
In his reaction, Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega, told PREMIUM TIMES that the onus was on PDP campaign to validate its claims.
“It is they that should produce proof that we have not produced the cards, because INEC has produced those cards and put them in the public domain. Anybody who says it is not like that should produce proof,” Mr. Idowu said.
While speaking on the millions of registered voters who were yet to collect their PVCs, Mr. Idowu said, “We have extended the collection deadline and people need to make use of that opportunity to come out.”
“INEC cannot drag people out of their houses to collect their PVCs. It is for INEC and the media to continue to sound it in the ears of people that they need to make judicious use of this time; otherwise, anyone who does not collect his card will disenfranchise himself,” he added.
The electoral commission had said on Friday that over 70 per cent of the voters’ cards had been distributed.
The distribution of the cards was a reason the PDP and some parties and groups called for the postponement of the elections, initially scheduled for February 14 and 28.
Although the elections were eventually postponed to March 28 and April 11, that was mainly due to the statement by security agencies that they needed six weeks to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency before the elections are held.

Nairalanders are getting better and better with their creativity everyday

The Gombe state government has imposed a 24 hour curfew in Gombe town, capital of Gombe state after Boko Haram militants attempted to overrun it on Saturday.
Eye witnesses said the militants attacked soldiers at the security checkpoints at the edge of the town and forced their way into the quarter guard of the 301 Artillery Regiment.
The quarter guard was burned but they could not proceed into the main barracks which is a little far off.
‘Explosions and gunfire could be heard after the fighters overwhelmed a checkpoint at the edge of the city, which has been bombed before but has never had the insurgents attempt to take it over,” Reuters reported.
Weekly Trust correspondent said panicked residents have largely remained indoors for fear of being caught in the cross fire between the military and the insurgents.
Military helicopters have been reportedly drafted to the troubled areas to push the militants back.
The federal government last week announced the postponement of the presidential and parliamentary elections which were supposed to hold today due to the spate of violence perpetrated by the Boko Haram terrorists.
Earlier on Saturday, the terrorists invaded Dadin Kowa town, 40 kilometers from Gombe.
They were sharing pamphlets warning people to stay away from voting in the coming elections.
The military were not immediately available for comment.

Gombe State government on Saturday declared a 24-hour curfew on the state capital and surrounding areas after a failed attempt by the deadly Boko Haram sect to capture Gombe metropolis.

The military engaged the sect in a fierce battle that lasted over three hours before the capital could be secured.

The imposition of the curfew was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Sule Bage.

A 27-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly pouring hot, pepperish liquid(acid) on another woman she accused of having an affair with her boyfriend in Ushafa, a community in Bwari Area Council.

A tenant who murdered his landlord over rent is now cooling his heels in police custody.
41-year-old man whose name was given as Wilfred, is in the police net for murdering his landlord because the man was 'disturbing' him to pay his rent arrears.

The incident happened in Agbor community, Delta State.

The culprit allegedly confessed to the police that he committed the crime under serious provocation because his landlord had threatened to kill him if he refused to pay up and in the ensuing fight that followed the argument, he picked an hard object and hit his landlord and he slumped and died on the spot.

Reports have it that the suspect had owed his landlord seven months rent and paid for two months, promising to pay the remaining months he never did, a situation that stirred the anger of his landlord at weekend, resulting in the tragic fight.

The Borno State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Zannah Mustapha, on Friday confirmed that Thursday’s bomb attack on Biu Main Market was carried out by two teenagers.

Mustapha, while condemning the incident, said eight persons died in the explosion and 20 others were injured.

Addressing journalists in Maiduguri, he said many attempts had been made in the past by members of the Boko Haram terror group to invade Biu one of which led to the killing of over 40 members of the group.

The deputy governor said it was however disheartening that the sect could wreak such havoc on Thursday.

Mustapha, however, assured the residents of the state that insurgency would soon become a thing of the past going by the assurances and dedication of the military to stamp out the menace.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Power, Mr. Mohammed Wakil, described the attack as a desperate move by the insurgents to divert the attention of the military from the main epicentre of the ongoing war against them.

Wakil said the insurgents had been rattled by the successes recorded by the military in conjunction with the multi-national troops to wipe them out.

The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the state, Alhaji Mohammed Imam, also condemned the bomb attack.

Imam, in a statement by the chairman, media committee of his campaign, Inuwa Bwala, described the attack as a crime against Nigeria and her people.

Answer the following questions :
1. Was your brother in law faithful to ur sister when she was alive?
2. Where u lusting after ur sister's husband when she was alive?
3. Are you responsible for your sister's death?
4. Did you and ur family plead with ur in-law to forget about his responsibilities to the family but he wouldn't heed?
5. Did u seduce ur brother in-law at any point?
6. Did u suggest he take u out to dinner?
7. Between u and him,who fell in love with the other first?
8. How long ago did ur sister die?
9. If it has been 5years or more, why has ur brother in-law refused to leave the family?
10. Again, did u kill ur sister?
11. Also, the air you're breathing, do u take permission from anyone before u breathe? Do u take permission from anyone before u wake? Is anyone responsible for ur life?
12. Most importantly, have u taken this matter to God in prayer?

From what u described, he's a good man. As a human being, I think ur sister(bless her soul) would want him to still remain in the family and not go to any other woman. If all goes as planned n u both have a daughter together, name her after ur sis. Lol. But God may say otherwise. Seek HIM over this matter.

My sister died five years ago and left behind her husband. They couldn’t have a child as a result of certain complications with her fallopian tube.

Even though her husband was faithful to her and did everything to assure my sister of his love, she died from high blood pressure as a result of her constant worries that her husband might leave her for another woman. She became so paranoid that she fought any woman, including us, her sisters if we came close to her husband.

She left her job to give her the freedom to monitor her husband. In fairness to the husband, not once did he try to resist or protest her constant harassment of his freedom. He took everything in his stride. Not even when his family tried to pair him up with another woman did he abandon my sister. He kept telling everybody that he would never leave her and that in due course, a miracle would happen.

He kept begging my parents to plead with my sister not to kill herself for nothing –that her blood pressure was becoming alarmingly high. When her condition became worse, he traveled with her abroad for treatment. There they also explored ways they can have a child together. They found a way around the issue and it was this pregnancy that actually terminated her life.

Her blood pressure kept going up and she resisted attempts by the doctors to terminate the pregnancy to save her life.
She actually left England without the permission of her doctors and husband for Nigeria to ensure her husband didn’t leave her in England because of another woman.

It was when she got to Nigeria that she called her husband from the airport to come and pick her. She died three days after she came back because of her blood pressure. Her pregnancy was only five months.

Since then, the husband has remained single. Despite pressures from all of us that he continues with his life, he refused. He still came to our house and continued with all his former obligations to us despite protests from my mother that he shouldn’t, he ignored her. Every month, he would send feeding allowances as well as drugs for my father. He also never failed to pay our house rents and other bills.

He called everyday to know how we were and would come to see things for himself to ensure we didn’t lack anything.
After trying to stop him from doing all these things, my mother gave up and even tried on several occasions to get him hooked up with nice ladies she knew.

Around August last year, he came to my place of work to pick me up for lunch. We really had a great time. He kept doing this and honestly, I didn’t know when my feelings for him changed to love. It hit me like a bolt of lightening that I no longer regarded him as my elder brother but as a man.

When he also communicated his love for me, I was happy and we started a secret relationship. He wanted us to inform our parents right away but I kept pleading with him to give me more time because secretly I fear our parents may not support the idea.

Because I don't know how do I explain to the world that I’m in love with my late sister’s husband and I am actually thinking of having him as my man? To me, it is all wrong. People may think I killed my own sister to enable me marry him. You know how people talk..............

But, I can't die in silence and my life looks so complete with him.... Pls am I doing the right thing?
