As the rampaging youth pursued the woman into the street, men dragged their wives and children inside and locked their doors. The rioters finally caught up with the screaming woman and began to beat her; they tore up her clothes and pushed her to the ground. Then they raised her up again and were dragging her off when a slightly built man in caftan and skull cap approached, shouting at them to stop, his arms flailing. Men looked out from inside their rooms in amazement.

“They said later that they thought I was out of my mind, approaching these boys, all drugged on something, carrying petrol and burning down buildings,” said Adamu Bologi.

Mr. Bologi himself had not thought of the consequences of his action. He dragged the woman away from the boys and took her to a nearby mosque, hiding her by a side entrance through which the Ladan usually enters. Of course, he made sure she took off her shoes first.

When he came out, he saw another harassed woman running with two children, stumbling along the road. Her husband is the pastor of a church, the Conqueror’s House, around the same area where the Christian Corpers Lodge and a church were burnt last Monday in Minna.

Mr Bologi looked around him. There was no one else apart from the rioters in the street.

“It was suddenly like midnight,” he said. “The whole place was so quiet, not even a child could be heard, although it was just about 2pm. The world seemed empty and these boys were in charge.”

He saw smoke from a burning church behind the crying woman on the opposite street; he saw some other miscreants approach; and he saw that soon she would run into them. Mr Bologi ran towards her and took one of the children. He tried to lead her to his house, but she was inconsolable.

“She kept screaming about her husband, saying, ‘They are too many. They are beating him, please help him before they kill him.’ She finally agreed to follow me home after I promised to go for the pastor afterward.”

After he took her home, where another victim he took there earlier was already settled, watching a movie, he went back to check on the pastor but the place was unapproachable. The boys were breaking windows, destroying the building and stealing church equipment. How to approach such a scene?

Mr Bologi said the pastor fought valiantly; there was blood on his hands where he kept blocking the blows from the cutlass wielded by one of the boys as the rest hit him with hockey sticks. The whole place was full of smoke.

“I was alone,” said Mr Bologi. “There was no way I could handle those boys. I had no stick, no knife, nothing.”

Suddenly, someone pointed at him, asking where the woman was and some in the gang began to spread around to look for her.

“So I went back to look after my family and the woman. But when she saw me she started screaming about her husband again, asking me if he was dead already, begging me to help him. So I got out again.”

But by the time he went back, the pastor was no longer there. The boys were still screaming, still stealing, still vandalising but there was nothing he could do. He went past the church searching for the pastor. The streets were deserted save for the urchins, and he was about to return home when he saw a man walking through some kind of haze.

“He had obviously been looking for his family,” said Mr Bologi. “When I approached him, he stood there with bandaged hands, still defiant. ‘Are you the pastor of the burnt church?’ I asked. He said, ‘So what if I am?’ So I told him his family was in my home and that I could take him to them.”

But that took a while because Mr Bologi couldn’t just walk the bleeding pastor to his home – they would be seen. So they devised a way to get to the house by indirection, going sideways, like a crab’s walk.

“When the woman saw her husband, I have never seen such joy,” he said.

There was a police barracks near the place, perhaps 300 metres away. Mr Bologi told the pastor that soon the boys would come to look for him there and he won’t be able to stop them, alone. He had to get them to the barracks; the pastor’s family, and the woman he had ensconced in the mosque. On the way, they heard sirens, a vehicle filled with policemen approached and the motley crew of victims and their surrogate looked up in hope, but the policemen were on their way to the governor’s residence nearby.

When Mr Bologi returned from the barracks, he saw that the boys have all gathered by his house.

“I thought, ‘well, this is it.’ The only thing standing between me and harm was my long dress,” he said.

They were not after him, however.

“There is a building opposite where I stay and the whole people there are Ibos. The boys were attacking the place. They were breaking the windows, television, everything,” he said.

The example to follow

Earlier on, the people had met Mr Bologi to seek permission to move into his compound, but there were too many of them.

“I suggested they all move to the police barracks and I followed them there to scout the road. They had to wait at the junction while I checked if the boys were around,” he said.

When he saw that their rooms were under attack, Mr Bologi again pleaded with the boys to move on, that there was no one there. They ignored him. By this time, his brave efforts and constant imprecations had brought four other men from their homes and they helped in urging the boys to desist.

“That was when this man came running out of his room and they caught him. They began to beat him up but we went closer. We were shouting, ‘don’t kill him, don’t kill him.’ They said they would kill him unless he said, ‘Laila la’ilallah.’

“The man tried, but he couldn’t say the words. I told them this was unIslamic and they got more angry, accusing me of conniving with unbelievers, threatening me.

“It was during this back and forth that one of those wielding a machete went behind and hit the man on the neck, leaving a wide gash as the man crumbled to the floor…”

At this point in his narration, Mr Bologi’s voice crumbled, and he couldn’t go on. His eyes misted over.

“It is not right,” he said. “It is not right to do that to another human being, and no religion I know permits such a thing. No religion says that for no reason you can machete an innocent man.”

I asked Mr Bologi what happened after this.

“I started crying,” he said.

“It was all too much. I saw the blow and for a second, the collar-bones were all white and then the blood started gushing. I became so weak.”

When he rallied, Mr Bologi had attempted to push the man into the Mosque but the boys stopped him. So he dragged the man to his house.

“There was all this blood and my wife wasn’t finding it funny. She said, “What are you doing? You bring some and you take them out and you go and bring others?”

So why did Mr Bologi, a young librarian at the state newspaper house, Newsline, a man without any obvious physical strength stand up to over 30 vicious young men, holding clubs and machetes?

“I kept remembering the prophet, Mohammed,” he said. “He urged us to live our lives in such a way that other people would come to admire our way of life and become Muslims themselves. Is anyone going to become a Muslim with the kind of violence shown by those boys?”

And why did the rioters not learn the same lesson?

“They are mostly boys, you know, without families, without the kind of home training we got. Many of them are twelve, fourteen and fifteen-year-olds.”

Afterward, Mr Bologi and some other neighbours, mostly Muslims, joined hands to put out the fires in the churches and to take all the injured to the hospital. Mr. Bologi still looked exhausted the day after.

“I kept thinking of the prophet,” he said. “One day some men came to kill him and failed. As they fled, the prophet noticed that they were going in the direction of his more militant supporters, Saidi na Ali and such. So, he told them not to go that way, to avoid the route because they
might get themselves killed. He helped them make good their escape. That is my example. That should be our example as Muslims.”

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday expressed his preference for a winner in yesterday’s presidential election to emerge from the first ballot, pledging to quit if he lost.
He also predicted a brighter future for Nigeria, saying it will never degenerate to Cote d’Ivoire’s situation.
He spoke shortly after casting his vote at 12.35 p.m in his Otueke home town.

Jonathan said: “If I lose, of course I will leave. That is the essence of using myself as an experiment. As to whether the election will go into a run-off, I pray that we don’t go into a bye-election, because of the cost implication.

“Nigeria is a very big country, if you calculate the colossal sum of money for the ad hoc staff, then for economic reason and to even reduce tension. We pray that whoever wins should win at the first ballot.”
He reiterated his promise not to influence the presidential election even though he was contesting as a sitting president.

“I am contesting the election as a sitting president and will not influence the process. That has been demonstrated in the conduct of the previous election. You can go and find out from the INEC,” he added.

Dehinde Fajana, 9ice’s manager has refused to trade words with Toni Payne, the estranged wife of the crooner who claimed Fajana was one of the people that made her marriage to crash.

In some reports, Payne had described Fajana as the brain behind the breaking up of her marriage, saying that the manager never liked her.

Fajana, however, said he wasn’t ready to react to the allegation.

“She has freedom of speech. I am not ready to exchange any words with her. All I can say is that she knows the truth and I know the truth as well. She is free to do whatever she likes and say whatever she wants to say as well,” Fajana said.

Commenting on the news that 9ice is a new father of twins, Fajana said his artiste has been busy and is still very busy.

“I still will not say anything on the matter. As I am talking to you, we are in the studios. When we are not in the studio, we are travelling all over, performing at shows. My artiste is a busy man. That is all I can tell you,” Fajana said.

With music not attracting much acclaim to him at present, singer, Chibuzor ‘Faze’ Orji, has made a detour into movies. Thus, when the Amstel Malta Box Office, AMBO-produced movie, Alero’s Symphony, premieres next Thursday at the Genesis Deluxe Cinemas, Lagos, Faze will be one of the actors to watch out for alongside tested thespians like Bimbo Manuel, Jibola Dabo, Matilda Obaseki and winner of the 2009 AMBO, Ivie Okujaiye. Faze, who is one of the lead acts in the movie, describes the experience as exciting.

He says, “I learnt a lot from everyone on the project. Acting is really fun and I thank Amstel Malta for giving me the platform to exhibit my hidden talent – a talent I never knew I possess.”

Privileged sources that have seen the movie describe it as a musical in the mould of Inale. The former member of defunct Plantation Boys has not been enjoying a good run in the music circuit in recent time. In fact, his last two singles, Relate and Gear One, tanked badly. The fact that the videos were shot in South Africa could not even salvage the songs. The two singles are off the reed-thin vocalist’s forthcoming album, his fourth actually, which was billed for release last December but has yet to see the light of day. Another new single, Best of the Best, featuring his former collaborators, Tuface and Blackface, did not also return him to the top of the chat. This has attracted posers as to whether he would be able to reprise the successes that trailed his past albums, Faze Alone, Independent and Originality.

Yemisi Makinde is the driving force behind the brand YEMISII which re-launched with its latest collection in Lagos, December 2010.

Yemisi has always had an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong desire to succeed at everything she puts her mind to. 9 years ago she turned her passion for fashion and accessories into the Virtuoso fashion brand.

Virtuoso was a success as it hit the right notes with young professional women who wanted unique expressions through their fashion accessories. Virtuoso designs offered stunning yet unconventional creations .

The products gained global recognition and acceptance in fashion shows and exhibitions in Nigeria, South Africa, Europe, England and America, alongside other recognizable industry brands and talent, thus creating a global outlook for the brand. In 2007, Virtuoso evolved into YEMISII (a derivation of her first name).

YEMISII like Virtuoso set out to change the world of fashion through imagination and art. With a strong desire to celebrate the beautiful African heritage to utmost levels of sophistication and elegance YEMISII is firmly positioned as a fine connection between art and fashion, a new dimension to the word ‘style’. “ I love to rock the boat; I work with unusual but exciting media to create unique and innovative wearable art pieces. I see my work as art”, says Yemisi.

The new YEMISII collection titled L‘ AVENIR (the future) premiered in December 2010. It is specially designed for the sophisticated and stylish. Yemisi says her recent two year tour of Europe, South Asia and the United States has opened her eyes to new creativity and influences. This has deeply impacted the new collection L‘AVENIR. Her outlook is now firmly fixed on a future that announces progress, maturity and fulfillment

After 14 months run at the Broadway and London’s Royal National Theatre, FELA! succeeded in turning all its critics to fans but the crew admitted after meeting the press in Nigeria that they were yet to meet their toughest critics ever.

Bent on proving to Nigerians amongst whom Fela lived and died that they know Fela as much as any other Nigerian, the FELA! cast took on the concert space of the The New Afrika Shrine on Thursday night, 14th April, 2011, and presented a tribute concert version of the show.

Devoted Fela fans in their numbers gathered together at the shrine under the breeze of spinning ceiling fans in this steamy warehouse-like club, and fully convinced the FELA! cast knows the ways of Fela, they excitedly filmed the production on their camera phones as the smell of marijuana wafted through the air.

The performance of the FELA! cast earned rave reviews from Kuti’s children, and Femi Kuti joined the cast onstage on his saxophone for an encore. “Now that you have been to the Shrine, I’m sure my father has blessed you,” he said.

“It means more to us than you can possibly imagine to be here and share this moment with you,” Sahr Ngaujah, who earned a Tony nomination in the title role on Broadway, told the crowd. He also wished the Nigerians luck with the presidential election set for Saturday.
