Culture › Re: Masquerade Festival Celebration In Akwa Ibom State (Videos, Photos) by saphiere(f):
The next masquerades which appear ten in number were very tall and they danced very well.
Their legs were like what could look like sticks.
A man who accompanied these masquerades told WonderTV correspondent that these set of masquerades are called "Inuen Ekpo" which means "Bird masquerade" reason being that their mouths are mostly looking like a bird's mouth.
These set of masquerades are known for their heights and dance said the man.
The people in charge of these set of masquerades, before the festival they would go to the evil forest and stay for seven days.
They don't sleep with women during this period. While in the evil forest the only eat unripe plantain with palm oil.
They don't eat what is cooked or made by a woman.
It's believed that if they do, the masquerades whiling dancing during the festival might fall which would be a big shame and disgrace to the community.
So to prevent them from sleeping with women or eating what is made by a woman, they are being made to live in the evil forest for seven days and prepare themselves for the festival.
These set of masquerades can only be seen with gongs in which the play while dancing to the drums of their members.
They are the most colourful that is why people admire them the most said the man.

Politics › Prisoners In Warri Protest Starvation By Delta State Government by saphiere(op): 9:31pm On Nov 02, 2020
Prisoners at the Okere Correctional Centre, Warri, Delta State, are currently protesting the starvation and lack of food they are made to go through by the state government, SaharaReporters can exclusively report.

The punishment was put in place by the management of the correctional centre after a jailbreak on October 22, 2020.
The jailbreak led to the killing of about 18 persons by security operatives guarding the prison.

Some inmates also escaped from the facility.

SaharaReporters gathered that to punish the inmates for attempting to escape, they were denied food except dry garri (cassava flake).

A source in the prison, who confirmed the situation to SaharaReporters, said the inmates are angry, adding that it could lead to another jailbreak if not swiftly addressed by the government.

"The inmates have been under lock and key and they don't get food.

"The authority is not giving them food and their families are not allowed to bring in food for them anymore.

"Inmates are presently protesting against starvation and what is currently happening might have more effect than the jailbreak that happened.

"There is a protest ongoing now as inmates are shouting for the restoration of their food ration," the source said.

The source explained that inmates are being given dry garri once in three days.

He added that inmates are suspecting embezzlement of funds by the correctional center management.

"The inmates are asking questions and they want to know if the government stopped the feeding of inmates as a result of the jailbreak or staff are embezzling money meant for their feeding," the source added.

It was further gathered that inmates waited till evening before they started the protest.

At the last jailbreak at the facility, some inmates escaped, before security operatives moved in.

Not less than 18 people were killed and 23 sustained bullet injuries.

The prison management hid the killings from the government and public and organised a mass burial for the victims.

And what's the difference between Airforce and soldier?
Have you ever witnessed an Air force officer addresses the non commission officers? He will never call them soldiers. It's either he call them gentlemen or airmen. Go and do your research. Start your research with, "Why do air force write AIRMEN/AIRWOMEN on their recruitment flyers and not write SOLDIERS".

Air Force is a branch of the military that is responsible for protecting the airspace of a country. A soldier is one who serves in the army whose rank is below a 2nd Lt.

The last time I tried paying evil for evil, it didn't work. In fact, I ended up hurting myself the more.
The worst thing you can do to your enemy is to love them. When you do good to those who constantly persecute you, it hurt them to their marrow. It's like placing a hot coal of fire on their head.
The hospital should hand him over to the police. But if I were in their shoes, I'd let him go.

Very bad..

The nurse should give him Diazepam (sleeping) injection.

She should then give him 50 lashes of boiled cane.

After that, she should operate on him and then drop the phone charger and battery in his stomach.

Everything is fair in the operating theater.
Don't pay evil with evil.

Man who was shot at Lekki Toll Gate and treated for free at a private hospital, steals a nurse‘s phone in the hospital.

A man who goes by the name Mr. Roland was shot during the EndSARS protest at Lekki Toll Gate and was rushed to a private hospital for treatment. The hospital treated Mr. Roland for free. After being treated in the hospital, someone volunteered to hire a cab to take Mr. Roland to his house for free. Rather than thanking the hospital and medical team for saving his life and not charging him for their services, Mr. Roland stole one of the nurses' cell phone and put it in his pant. He was caught and the phone retrieved from him.

Shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki: Army won’t let us through—Emergency workers.


Following shooting of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, with reports of casualties, ambulances and emergency workers that responded to calls were turned back by soldiers.

The driver of an ambulance driving away from the scene was heard telling someone, who was off camera, that military personal didn’t allow them access to where the shot protesters were.

Vanguard had reported earlier that men in military uniform were shooting at the protesters, who had remained at the toll gate after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State had declared a 24-hour curfew. A picture of Nigeria’s flag stained with blood had since gone viral, with many people giving medical advice online on how to save the persons that had been shot. The video had garnered over 70,000 views at the time of reporting, with over 3,00 retweets. Below is the tweet:
