Residents in Karongi District observe the aftermath of the
weekend heavy downpour.
By Kelly Rwamapera
Heavy downpour that intensified countrywide on Sunday
through Monday morning has so far led to loss of more lives
through mudslides, especially in the districts of Rulindo,
Karongi, Nyarugenge and Rubavu.
According to the Ministry of Disaster Management and
Refugees Affairs, (MIDIMAR) a tentative report of the weekend
rains. Karongi District was worst hit, with18 people killed, 12
hospitalised and 120 houses totally destroyed.
The rains caused a mudslide that submerged houses in which
people were sleeping, a tragedy that occurred in the cells of
Bisesero, Rubazo and Gasata all in Rwankuba Sector.
According to Jean Baptiste Nsengiyumva, the Director of Risk
Reduction and Preparedness Unit at MIDIMAR, they are
working closely with local authorities to have more up to date
information on the countrywide disasters.
"We expect numbers to go up because we're still collecting
more information from across the country," said
Nsengiyumva.
Speaking to The New Times, Védaste Kuzabaganwa, the
Executive Secretary Rwankuba Sector said they had been
appealing to residents to relocate from the risky zones and
that it was unfortunate that some were killed before they
could relocate.
"Many families have moved to settle in model villages but
some are still in their houses below the hills in areas which
are very prone to landslides," Kuzabaganwa said.
Meanwhile in Nyabugogo Cell, Kigali Sector of Nyarugenge
District, a family of eight was swept away by a mudslide.
Three instantly died on the spot while the rest are still in
hospital.
In Rubavu and Rulindo districts, four people were reported
dead and four houses totally destroyed by landslides while in
Nyamasheke District, one person was killed.
In Nyabihu District two houses were destroyed while in
Nyamagabe District one person was injured and two housed
damaged.
Recently, the Minister of Local Government announced they
were determined to relocate people from high risk areas
saying that where necessary, force would be used to move
them to safety.
The latest death toll brings it to over 200 people killed in
disasters since the rains started January this year.

TV/MoviesThe Mountain From Game Of Thrones Wins World’s Strongest Man Title by pascal558(op): 8:24am On May 08, 2018
The Mountain is the strongest man on “Game of Thrones.”
Now he’s the strongest man in the real world as well.
Hafthor Julius Bjornsson took a break from playing Gregor
Clegane, the brutal warrior known as the Mountain, and won
the long-running World’s Strongest Man competition on
Sunday in the Philippines.
Bjornsson, 29, has been a regular in the competition and had
three second- and three third-place finishes over the years,
but had never previously won.
“It’s my passion and my dream to become the world’s
strongest man,” he said in a 2016 profile in which he shared
his workout secrets with The New York Times. “I would like
to win the World’s Strongest Man competition, as you would
win best writer in the world. Is that a title that exists?”
Bjornsson certainly qualifies as a figurative Mountain. He
checks in at 6-feet-9-inches and 400 pounds. But he is far
from the merciless monster he depicts on television. A scene
in which he crushed a foe’s skull with his bare hands
“actually made my heart hurt,” he said in 2014.
The World’s Strongest competition will be shown in the
United States on CBS beginning in June.
Among the events Bjornsson contested this year were the Car
Deadlift, the Truck Pull and a grueling Loading Race in which
he hauled anchors, anvils and other heavy objects.
After the victory, Bjornsson posted a photograph of himself
lifting the trophy on his Instagram account, adding “Want to
thank all of my family, friends and fans for supporting me
along the way.”
The World’s Strongest Man was originally a made-for-TV
American-based event in the 1970s, held at Universal Studios
in California. The first year included another strongman turned
actor, Lou Ferrigno, who played the Incredible Hulk on TV.
Ferrigno placed fourth.

CrimeWe Will Get Both Herdsmen And Their Sponsors - Nigeria Army by pascal558(op): 11:52am On Apr 27, 2018
The Nigerian Army have vowed to Go after gunmen and their
sponsors that have been responsible for the rampant killings
in Benue state.
Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. John Agim in an
interview with newsmen on Thursday also alleged that the
fresh rounds of killing in Benue state were being sponsored.
“We will get both the herdsmen and their sponsors.
“We want to say this to the killers and their sponsors that the
military is coming for them. We are going to get both the
killers and their sponsors very soon.
“The military is continuing with all its operations in the areas.
Nigerians will soon see a change of approach in our
operations,".
He also briefed newsmen that the army have been recovering
guns and several other weapons from herdsmen and locals in
the state in a bid to be fair to parties involved.
Agim said, “Some of the weapons we recovered were seized
from the herdsmen. Others are not from the herdsmen. The
Dane guns we seized were not from the herdsmen. The
military cannot go into an environment to support any side.
“We seized weapons from everyone who had weapons. Some
of the weapons were also obtained during engagements with
these criminals".
Gen. Agim said that the military was strategizing on how to
go after the herdsmen and their sponsors.

AHEAD of 2019 presidential election, over 200 Southeast traditional rulers from Imo state, yesterday, backed President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid.
The monarchs reached the decision in a meeting, which took place at Okigwe Local Government Area in the state which was contained in a communique read by His Royal Majesty, Eze Oliver Ohanwe. But in what seemed like one of their reasons for supporting Buhari, the monarchs asked the president to support the Igbo to produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023. The communique read: “We thank the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari for his selfless and dedicated service to the nation, his commitment to ensure common good for all and his unwavering drive for the peace, unity and progress of the country. “We are completely convinced that the policies and templates of development already laid down by the president in the last three years was based on critical thinking, careful and strategic planning and would catalyse rapid national development in his second term. “The president was essentially elected on the firm promise to tackle corruption and security. “This administration has given a lot of fillip to these noble agenda. With the president’s grit and strategic support to the relevant institutions, corruption in our national life has practically reduced by more than 75 per cent. “He has justified the huge magnitude of the mandate freely given to him in 2015 which cut across ethnic, religious and even patisan lines, having a clear message which is no escape from change and has restored the dignity of our country. “Buhari has put the economy on the part of sustainable growth, revitalized our ailing institutions and strengthened resolve and determination to ensure that change has really come.” “Were the entire members of the Council of Ndi Eze, with our citizens, alongside the overwhelming majority of Nigerians completely align ourselves with the President’s patriotic response to the various calls to seek re-election in 2019. “We assure Mr. of our unalloyed support. We stand with him. That finnaly, we urge Mr. President to use his good will and reach to support the Southeast region to produce the next President of Nigeria after completing his second tenure in 2023.”

PoliticsLazy Nigerian Youths Gets A Wikipedia Page by pascal558(op): 7:32pm On Apr 25, 2018
Controversy over President Muhammadu Buhari’s characterization of Nigerian youths has taken a new dimension with a page being created on Wikipedia in acknowledgment of the social media revolt of young Nigerians against their description, tagged, #LazyNigerianYouths. While speaking at a forum during the just concluded Commonwealth Summit, the President had said that youths in Nigeria want to sit down and do nothing, yet expect to get everything free because their country is an oil producing nation. The comment stirs up angry reactions from young Nigerians who immediately implied Buhari’s statement to mean that they are lazy. Wikipedia described the trend as a social media outrage by Nigerian youths. On Wikipedia’s page, the social media outrage was described as, “The Lazy Nigerian Youths (Also known as "# LazyNigerianYouth" or simply "#LazyYouth"wink is a social media revolt by Nigerian youths against their President, Muhammadu Buhari. While speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster in April Buhari said a lot of Nigerian youths have not been to school and they want everything free because the country is an oil-producing state. [1] But the Nigerian youths will not have any of it as they soon took to social media to protest against the comment of the number one citizen of the country.”

Why do you think Nigeria and South Africa pulled out of the Africa free Trade Pact which your so called"doing better than us" countries are dying to have Nigeria and South Africa in? The last time Buhari tried to close the land borders, do you remember what happened? Have you forgotten how Zuma ran to Nigeria when Nigeria threatened MTN?
