SEVEN ladies who went for night vigil for deliverance in a new generation church, located at 2nd Cemetery Road, Benin-City, were allegedly
raped by armed bandits who stormed the church at about 4am on Thursday.

The robbers were said to have earlier raided a
building near Ewuotubu community where they
robbed some tenants living in four different flats in
the compound. It was learnt that two persons,
including a police officer, were shot dead while others sustained various degrees of injuries in the process.

What was supposed to be an all-night marathon
prayer session , tagged ‘Koboko Night’, meant to cast out demons tormenting some members of the
church, turned sour as the masked armed robbers,
numbering six, shot sporadically, ordering the
members to go back to the church shortly after they
said the final prayers to depart the church.

The robbers had, on storming the church premises,
rained bullets on the roof and ordered members to lie down. Consequently, they raped the women.

One of the victims, who narrated her ordeal to
Sunday Vanguard, said, “Though I was not raped, I
was beaten mercilessly when they were asking us to identify the pastor and we refused. After collecting our phones, money and jewelleries, they ordered some of the ladies to UnCloth. They threatened to kill them if they refused and, of course, they removed their clothes and were raped one by one.

“It was actually two churches that they attacked.
They raped five women in our church. Later, we found out that they raped two others in a church close to ours. They ransacked the church and collected any cash they found and escaped. It was a horrible sight”.

The raped women are said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital on Ekenwan Road, Benin City.

Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, General Mohammadu Buhari on Saturday said it would be unfair for anyone to contemplate the cancellation of the presidential polls following a few recorded hiccups.

He said that the challenges were minor to have
affected the entire country.

Citing instances, the former Head of State said
that what had happened in 5 States could not
have presumably affected the remaining 31 State
and the Federal Capital territory, Abuja.
He addressed a press conference in his private
residence after he and his wife, Aisha had cast
their ballots at Kofar Baru 3 in Sarkin Yara “A” in
Daura Local Government Area of Katsina State.

INEC's Voter Education - Election Accreditation And Voting Procedure
www.nairaland.com/2219758/inecs-voter-education-election-accreditation

Text of President Goodluck Jonathan’s broadcast Friday, ahead of presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday, March 28.


Dear Compatriots,

1. As we prepare to go to the polls tomorrow, I have come before you this morning to express my immense appreciation for the opportunity you
gave me to lead this great nation of ours in the past four years.

2. I also wish to place on record, once again, my sincere gratitude for the support you have given my
administration without which the significant progress we have made in recent years would not have been possible.

3. In spite of the many challenges we have had to contend with since 1999, our present democratic dispensation continues to endure and grow stronger in keeping with the yearnings and aspirations of our people.

4. We have all worked very hard to nurture and strengthen our democratic institutions and promote the good governance practices which they were
designed to deliver for the better well- being of our people.

5. I believe I can say without fear of contradiction that we all clearly cherish the democracy we now have and will never willingly give it up for any other
form of governance.

6. This much-cherished democracy of ours is about to be put to the test once again.

7. I urge you all to troop out en-masse to peacefully perform your civic duty of voting for leaders of your choice tomorrow.

8. As we do so, let us all – political party leaders, contestants, party members, party agents, supporters and ordinary voters alike, be very
conscious of the fact that the eyes of the entire world are on us.

9. We must therefore comport ourselves in a manner that will further strengthen our democracy and consolidate our place in the comity of truly democratic nations.

10. I made a commitment on assumption of office
to progressively deliver freer, fairer and more
credible elections in our country. In keeping with
that commitment, the Federal Government has
given the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) all necessary support to ensure
that it conducts very successful elections tomorrow
and on April 11.

11. We have all been assured that INEC is fully ready for the elections. I believe that we can all
trust that they are certainly more ready now than
they may have been before security issues and
other concerns necessitated a re-scheduling of the
dates for the 2015 general elections.

12. As an administration, we welcome the fact that
millions of Nigerians who were yet to receive their
Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) as at February 14,
and would therefore have been unfairly disenfranchised if the polls had gone ahead on that
date, have seized the opportunity of the re-
scheduling to collect their cards and can now
exercise their right to vote tomorrow.

13. We are also glad that our gallant Armed Forces
have successfully stemmed the seizure of Nigerian
territories in the North-East by the terrorist group,
Boko Haram.

14. They have recaptured most of the communities
and territories formerly occupied by the insurgents,
making it possible for thousands of internally-
displaced Nigerians to begin returning to their
homes and communities.

15. I heartily commend the very courageous men
and women of our Armed Forces for the immense
sacrifices which they continue to make in defending
the nation and protecting its citizens.

16. I also thank all Nigerians for keeping faith with
us over the past six weeks.

17. I call on all political parties and politicians in the
country to allow the free, unfettered will of our
people to be expressed without any hindrance in
the coming elections in keeping with the hallowed
principles and tenets of democratic governance
which we all profess.

18. The will of the people freely expressed through
the ballot is the bedrock of all democracies and ours
cannot be an exception.

19. Let us all therefore be prepared, as true
democrats, to graciously accept the outcome of the
elections as the rightful choice of our people from
whom all political powers in our democracy must
emanate.

20. My administration has done its utmost best in
the past four years to deliver on our promise to
positively transform our country.

21. Tomorrow’s election is another very important
milestone as we continue our march towards the
fulfillment of our God-given potential for greatness.

22. The election offers us another opportunity to
empower leaders of our choice once again, and to
show the world that genuine democracy is alive and
well in our beloved nation.

23. I will like to restate my belief that no political
ambition can justify violence or the shedding of the
blood of our people.

24. I reaffirm once again, my personal preparedness
to ensure fair play during the elections and to
deploy the resources and institutions of state only
in the manner prescribed by our laws.

25. Let me warn, however, that as President,
Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, I am
under oath to protect the lives of all Nigerians and
the security of our country at all times. I will never
abdicate my responsibilities in that regard.

26. Democracy allows dissent. It encourages
differences and even fervent disagreements. But
elections must never be mistaken for war or an
opportunity to set fellow citizens against each other
and tear our beloved nation apart.

27. Those who may harbor any intentions of testing
our will by unleashing violence during the elections
in order to advance their political ambitions should
think again as all necessary measures have been
put in place to ensure that any persons who breach
the peace or cause public disorder during or after
the elections are speedily apprehended and
summarily dealt with according to our laws.

28. The nation’s security agencies are also fully
prepared and ready to deal decisively with any
group or persons who attempt to disrupt the
peaceful conduct of the elections or cause any form
of public disorder.

29. Our dear country, Nigeria is the largest
democracy amongst black nations of the world. We
are a nation of great accomplishments, with a proud
history of evolving affinities.

30. Let us go out tomorrow to vote peacefully and
set a fitting example of political maturity for other
emerging democracies to follow.

31. I wish you all and our dear nation, very peaceful
and successful elections.

32. May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.

33. I thank you all.

Unique Or Useless

See What Jonathan Campaign Organization
Distributed At A Rally Yesterday (Pix)
www.nairaland.com/2218699/see-what-jonathan-campaign-organization#32027785

I got this yesterday at a rally organized for President Jonathan in Abeokuta yesterday, the rally was organized by Jonathan Campaign Organization.

In the wake of a spate of election related violence
all across the Nation, the flag bearer of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu
Buhari, may be about to shock the entire populace
and his teeming supporters, by announcing that he
is pulling out of the presidential race.

The bit of information was gathered from a reliable
source close to the people’s general, who said the
general told him in confidence that he was weary of
all the shenanigans of modern Nigerian Politics.
In an attempt to hear from the horses mouth, we
contacted General Buhari on the phone.

Surprisingly, this is what he had to say:
“My vrother, I am tired. I cannot understand why
we cannot just hab this election in feace. Look
around. So much killing. So much ees-cue-rity. So
much vloodshed. I am tired. I am stepping down
prom ze fresidential race. If running por fresident
means the death and destraction op lipe and
fraferty, then I wash my hands clean. let Goodluck
kwantest against the others. No Folitical Amvition
is worth ze vlood op ze Nigerian fiful”.

Meanwhile, President Jonathan has hit back at
General Buhari through his spokesperson, Mr
Reuben Abati, saying:
“Why is the General stealing President Jonathan’s
lines? Is it not President Jonathan who said the
whole “No ambition is worth the blood” thing? This
is Plagiarism. We are adding this to the WAEC
scandal in the court case. If he will step down, then
we will make sure he steps down based on the
illegalities of his Candidature, not Goodwill”

Lots of Nigerian ladies have one problem or the other with their skin colour or skin condition and so on. It is also said that 70 percent of Nigerian ladies want to have lighter skin according to a top health magazine.

So on our tip of the week this week, we posted
natural ways and ingredients for ladies to have
lighter skin, correct their skin flaws, even out their
skin tone and get their skin to glow naturally and
without fear of side effects.



Use lemon juice:

•Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and dilute it
to half strength with water.

•Dip a cotton ball in the liquid and apply the lemon
juice to your face, or wherever you wish to lighten
the skin.

•Leave the lemon juice to sit on the skin for 15 to
20 minutes.

•Do not go outside during this time, as the juice
makes your skin hyper-sensitive to sunlight.

•Thoroughly rinse your skin when you’re done, then
apply a good moisturizer as lemon juice can be
very drying.

•Repeat this treatment 2 to 3 times a week (no
more) for best results.

•Avoid rubbing it on any cut, injuries or pimples as
it might irritate your skin.


Try raw potato:

•Cut a raw potato in half, and then rub the exposed
flesh over the skin you wish to lighten.
•Leave the potato juice to sit on the skin for 15 to
20 minutes before rinsing.
•You will need to repeat this treatment several
times a week in order to get any beneficial results.
•Instead of a potato you could use aloe vera,
turmeric, yoghurt, pawpaw, coconut water, tomato
or cucumber, as all these foods also have high
vitamin C content.
•Alternatively, you can place a slice of the raw
potato on the affected area to treat skin
pigmentation.

Apply milk:

This is also a very fast way to lighten your skin; it’s
a natural skin whitener. You can mix lemon and
milk together to get lighter skin in just four
months.
•In your small bowl, combine the lemon juice and
milk. Stir well, and put in the lemon wedge.
•Leave this on the counter (do NOT put this in the
refrigerator, or you stop the bacterial process that
you want).
•It will curdle and look funny; this is good. After 3-4
hours, spread it on your clean face and leave on for
15-20 minutes.
•Rinse well. (Note: Be careful for a few hours if
you’re going out in the sun after this mask, as it
will cause photosensitivity.)
You can also try orange peel powder with milk and
honey. Make a face pack and apply.

Also, some other tips for lighter skin include quitting
smoking, drinking more water and following a
healthy diet, and exfoliating your skin often to
remove dry and dead skin cells.
