Angelanest: There was pandemonium early this morning following a clash between angry Awkuzu youths and the Nigerian Police Force, Oyi Division, over the death of a motorcyclist popularly known as Okada rider.
According to reports, the Okada rider was mistakenly killed by the police officers during a patrol in the community yesterday evening.
The death did not go down well with the youths in the community as they mobilised themselves and stormed a police station. Some officers who were on duty - reportedly took to their heels to avoid being caught up in the attack as the villagers overran the station.
Following the directive of the state governor, Willie Obiano, to the Honourable Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Uchenna Okafor, peace has been restored in the community.
The commissioner met the angry youths who had already overrun the police station and urged them to calm down as he told that the police officers responsible for the Okada rider's death will be brought to justice. .
Magichand: One of world's most celebrated author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has revealed in a speech why men have a higher rate of dying by suicide.

Speaking while giving a speech at Hubspot’s 2018 Inbound Conference, award-winning Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, revealed that men have a higher rate of dying by suicide as opposed to women.
She attributed the situation to patriarchy, which she says is both a blessing and a curse to men, adding that men are trained to suppress emotions, not to show vulnerability or ask for help.

She said: “Both men and women suffer from the illnesses that lead to suicide but it is men that have a much higher rate of dying by suicide.
“Why? Because men are socialized to suppress so many human parts of themselves, men are socialized not to ask for help, men are socialized to be afraid of fear, men are socialized not to show vulnerability.
“From the moment we tell a little boy that ‘boys don’t cry’ or we tell a hurting teenager to ‘man up’ we are creating an adult man who will be cheated of the full range of his emotions. So, while men benefit from patriarchy, they also suffer from it.”
The ‘Americanah’ author also spoke on gender equality, saying there is no difference between men and women, adding that women should not be viewed differently or given special treatment.
She said: “There is nothing a woman should be because she is a woman, and there is nothing a man should be because he is a man.
“Women are not special, women are human, women are flawed just like men… If we keep saying women are special, then we judge them at a higher and unfair standard.”
Look lemme say this one time If u off urself u off urseelf Man was created to be dominant and the woman to be his help mate Pls do not get carried away by the west's mainstream media propaganda trying to normalize homosexuality and make men soft Ppl will always have mental health issues They are ppl to reach out to and talk to if u have mental health issues Chimamanda fall hand big time with this feminist thing Lastly imagine being a soft man in africa nay nigeria...

antagonist: A Catholic priest from Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria, who had been working as a Boston hospital chaplain was arraigned Tuesday September 11, 2018 for the alleged sexual abuse of a young girl in 2006, authorities said.
The Rev. Christian Ohazulume, an extern priest from Nigeria, allegedly assaulted the girl while he was living with a family in Randolph upon his arrival in the United States, officials said. The girl was about 8 years old at the time, prosecutors said.
At his arraignment in Quincy District Court, Ohazulume, 50, pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent assault and battery of a child under 14. He allegedly touched the girl’s vaginal area, fondled her breast, and forcibly kissed her, prosecutors said.
In an interview with police last week, the alleged victim said she had come from Nigeria to live with her father, stepmother, and brothers in Randolph when she was about 7. Her father introduced Ohazulume as his nephew, she told police.
She told investigators that Ohazulume would drive her to and from school and help with baby-sitting, according to court documents. Her father worked long hours as a pharmacist in Dorchester and would come home late, she said.
The alleged assault occurred when she went to Ohazulume’s bedroom for help with her homework one night when nobody else was home, the woman told police.
At one point, he went to the bathroom and returned to stand over her, handling her breasts, she said.
When she approached him later that evening to show him her homework, he forced his tongue into her mouth, the woman told police. He then lay on top of her on the bed and rubbed her vaginal area over her clothing, she said. She forced his hand away and ran from the room, she said.
Afterward, he continued to drive her to school but she became very angry with everyone in the house, where Ohazulume would hold private Masses for the family.
The woman said she returned to Nigeria when she was 11 or 12, then came back to Randolph to attend Roxbury Community College.
Ohazulume had worked as a chaplain at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center while residing at St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in Brookline since 2010, according to The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston.
Jennifer Kritz, a spokeswoman for Beth Israel, said Ohazulume had been fired from his job at the hospital.
“The Archdiocese has been in contact with his home Diocese of Nnewi, Nigeria and informed them of the allegation and that his faculties to minister have been withdrawn in the Archdiocese of Boston,” the statement read. “The Archdiocese was advised by law enforcement to delay until today release of this information while they initiated their investigation.”

Aisha is from the east? Ok oh Cc immhotep greenback gmbuharii sarkin Yorubassasin
donofdons: The funny thing about Nigeria is that people are only agitated when things affect their people. During obj time, thousands of Igbo where always being massacred in the north, bakkasi boys extra judicially killed thousands of Igbo, Opc did the same in Yorubaland- no one did anything to stop them. The north remained quiet. Yaradua came in and Boko Haram expanded under him. At the initial stage of Boko Haram, they burnt churches and killed Christians- northerners remained quiet and their elders even said that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north. Now Boko Haram have matured into a terrorist group which kills everyone indiscriminately and northern leaders are shouting. The solution would have been to nip it in the bud.
Don't say what u don't know Bakassi although i hated dia jungle justice cleansed anambra of all the nonsense holding down that state Politicians and shady ppl who were afraid then called amnesty international cuz of fear And as for igbos being massacred in the north,well of u were in the east at that time,u would know that northerners ran away from the east out of fear and some ran to the barracks And finally on BH The northern elite made BH out of anger of the ND militants getting amnesty from the govt. Anyoda tin is purely collateral

BoneBlogger: Fresh report has it the military has allegedly invaded Nnamdi Kanu's community in Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia state. The invasion which is said to be the third time, happened this morning ahead of the September 14 sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)...
A combined team of Navy, Army, Police, Immigration and Civil Defence Corps invaded the community in a show of force in Afaraukwu with military hardware which lasted for hours, as the scared villagers are wondering why security agents are parading intimidatingly at Kanu’s village.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), condemned the alleged second invasion of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s community over the weekend.
A statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, described the show of force as ‘another military overreach’ by the Fulani controlled hierarchy of the Nigerian defence establishment.
Powerful said, “This is clear confirmation that the entire east is under siege for no apparent reason other than the need for Fulani caliphate to prove their dominance over the rest of Nigeria. “Isiama Afaraukwu it seems is now the favorite exercise range of the Nigerian military. What this confirms is that Nnamdi Kanu is the one person the Fulani caliphate is most terrified of.
“It is a shame the corrupt political class, blinded by their own selfishness and petty jealousy cannot see it.“We are alerting the world that this blatant provocation is one of the many reasons why we have called for a nationwide strike on the 14th of September 2018 to protest this Arewa Islamic military occupation of Biafraland.
“Biafrans are peaceful people but this unfortunate invasion of our villages and the home of our leader in this 2018 may result in unintended consequences. “Innocent Biafrans abducted and murdered in cold blood during September 2017 Operation Python Dance is yet to be buried and here we are in 2018 suffering the same fate.
“The very quiet Afaraukwu Ibeku community in Umuahia, Abia State now has more military presence and activity than Sambisa forest.“We are still wondering why this Buhari regime would not allow Biafrans to bury those they murdered last year during their Operation PYTHON DANCE 2.
Sarkin and Roger3D with the other zombies know this as a matter of fact but love the caliphate Cc immhotep greenback nightmare007 sharpshoota gmbuharii

According to the Metropolitan police, the horrific attacks targeted taxi drivers and people selling items via Gumtree. The group used strong acids, alkalis, and knives, to rob and maim their victims, some of whom will never recover from their injuries.
Antoine Mensah, 21, was sentenced to 13 years, extended to 17 years, in prison after pleading guilty to a conspiracy to rob comprising 19 counts of robbery as well as a planned robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of a bladed article. Mensah also pleaded guilty to six counts of assault in an unrelated case. Mensah will serve a minimum of 8 years and 8 months in prison.
Miracle Osondu, 19, was sentenced to 11 years, extended to 15, in prison after pleading guilty to a conspiracy to rob comprising 19 counts of robbery as well as a planned robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of a bladed article. A separate charge of theft from 2017 will remain on file. Osondu will serve a minimum of seven years and four months in prison.
Reporting restrictions were lifted on the teenager involved at the instruction of the judge. He is Mohammed Ali, and was sentenced to eight years, extended to 12 years, in prison after pleading guilty to a conspiracy to rob comprising 19 counts of robbery as well as a planned robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of a bladed article. Ali will serve a minimum of five years and four months in prison.
The court heard that between 26 April and 14 May 2018, the trio embarked on a series of robberies that involved robbing mini-cab drivers at knifepoint and using strong chemicals to rob people they had arranged to buy and sell mobile phones from the Gumtree website.
The first offence they committed occurred on 26 April, where the three took a taxi to a street in Enfield where they robbed their taxi driver, threatening to stab him.
This quickly escalated to physically restraining taxi drivers and on two occasions producing a knife with which they threatened the drivers. Following this, they moved on to targeting unsuspecting victims from Gumtree.
They were taken into custody where they gave no comment interviews. All three were charged on 17 May.

ChangeIsCostant: The period when foreigners travel down to Nigeria to hold their traditional weddings in the bride's village, seems to be over as most Nigerian families don't mind to wed traditionally in foreign land. It was really a colorful moment as an Igbo lady tied the knot with her foreign partner in Rome, Italy on Sunday, September 9th.
The Nigerian lady who wore a traditional attire along with the groom, observed all the matrimonial rites according to the traditions of Igbo land before the union was sealed.
The groom's lovely family and friends gathered in their numbers to support him and the bride's family and friends were also present .
Meanwhile, a UK based traditionalist has condemned some Nigerians who give conditions for their traditional weddings and exclude items which are used to represent their culture.
Uba Acho, a hardcore traditionalist who is based in Leicester City, took to his social media page, to speak against those ‘Westernising’ their traditional weddings as he said a pastor would never conduct a church wedding where vital items are not displayed.
The traditionalist also blasted a couple who used orange juice for their traditional wedding instead of Palm wine.
