This is totally unacceptable,

EFCC is toothless, they can only bark but cannot bite. what happened to those that were earlier arrested. it is quite disheartening to note that virtually everything in Nigeria have been politicized.

Amid the country’s celebrations of its 51st Independence anniversary yesterday, two separate bomb explosions occurred in Dalashuwari and Nganaram wards of Borno State.

In Enugu State, a man identified as Alex Ndubuisi Egeonu yesterday set his pregnant wife and two sons ablaze.

Although the number of casualties could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, it sent panic across the state.

When contacted, The Joint Task Force (JTF) spokesperson, confirmed the incident, adding that he was yet to get any report about the casualties of the blast.

Also in Maiduguri, a butcher at the Baga station market was yesterday shot dead by unknown gunmen who also made away with some money.

Similarly, his son who raised an alarm that his father had been shot was also killed by the gunmen.

The incident caused pandemonium among traders in the market as they scamper for safety.

The gun men were said to have fired gunshots in the air to scare away people as they escaped through a bush path near the market.

Egeonu’s youngest son fell into coma following injuries sustained in the inferno. He was later revived at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu after two hours, while the wife and the first son are now on danger list at the hospital.

The fleeing father of two who hails from Umunoha town in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, according to eyewitnesses, had on arrival at his container shop located at No. 61 Mount Street, Awkunanaw, Enugu, where he sells musical records and Compact Discs, asked his wife to escort him to the filling station to buy fuel.

The wife willingly complied but shortly after returning to the shop Egeonu at about 11am went to a neighbour’s shop and began to drag the owner (a woman) to his own shop claiming that she was indebted to him.

The woman shouted to attracted neighbours and passersby who promptly rescued her from the man.

"Immediately the man returned to his shop, he tied the hands of his wife and poured the fuel on the floor. He thereafter locked the wife and his two sons inside the container and threw lighted matches through the window to ignite the fire," the eyewitness said.

The pregnant woman and her two sons were severely burnt before neighbours forced the container open and brought them out.

They were rushed to the Eastern Nigeria Medical Centre where the last son reportedly died. The pregnant woman and her first son, said to be in critical condition were later transferred to the National Orthopaedic Hospital.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect took to his heels after setting his family members ablaze and has not been found.


He said that investigations had commenced to ascertain the motive of the arsonist adding that the police would do everything possible to apprehend the suspect.

Nigeria is a country that it is because we are been led by people who know little or nothing about governance. they are out there to deceive Nigerians. Where is Dimeji Bankole, Iyabo Obasanjo,, May God forgive them all!

The truth is not far fetched. With members of his cabinet, with d way he handle issues. He can not achieve with dis calibre of people around him.

Hmmm

Its less than 2 month to the April general election as eligible voters wil have d opportunity 2 elect leaders who are going 2 be occupying various public offices in Nigeria. Candidates are already promising heaven and heart, even things that are not feasible. Some of them will promise Air condition in ur toilets. This is d time 2 elect credible leaders as whatever we decide now would be a function of what will happen in d next 4 years when we will be having anoda opportunity(Other things being equal) Candidates are already exchanging abusive words. Instead of them to convince electorate as touching wat they have 4 them, they are busy attacking themselves. Only recently dat d current president and d flag bearer of PDP, GOODLUCK JONATHAN Called ACN serving governors in south-west "RASCALS". A former governor of Lagos, Bola Tinubu reciprocated by calling Jonathan "DRUNKARD". What message are they passing 2 Nigerians? Nigerians always attribute under-development 2 bad governance not considering d fact dat they are d ones who put them there. I'm imploring Nigerians to vote 4 candidates based on their antecedents and not the number of people they can abuse or d number of people they can kill. As d 2011 poll draw nearer, Nigerians are hereby admonished 2 desist 4rm politics of Bitterness and embrace politics of change. Remember, your vote is your freedom, your destiny is in ur hands. DON'T SELL UR VOTE, DON'T SELL UR CONSCIENCE, DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE USED, Vote 4 d right people, vote 4 people dat will steer d wheel of dis nation into d right direction. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Greatest Ife, dis is not d time to lament but the time to understand that nothing good can come 4rm Faborode and his PDP co-horts, meanwhile, some people have been raining abuses on union leaders which of course i dont blame such people. Despite series of threat they have been made to go thru, , Even in America, Negroes fought tirelessly 4 freedom,
