A group of unknown gunmen raided Zangang township in Attakar Chiefdom of Kaura local government area in the troubled Southern Kaduna state. The attackers suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have killed 11 persons in the early hours of September 28, 2013, Saturday.

An undisclosed military officer in the area confirmed the attacks, he added that some villagers were also injured, and several are still missing. The official statement on the raid is still awaited.

This morning's accident continues the rising wave of violence in Kaduna. It would be recalled that in attack on Thursday, banks and residents were robbed and three policemen killed in Saminaka, Lere local government area of Kaduna State.

At least 42 people were drowned in a boat mishap on River Niger close to Malilli Village in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State on September 27, 2013, Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that 100 others on board were missing in the wreckage which occurred at about 2 p.m.

Mr. Ibrahim Hussaini, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), confirmed the incident in a telephone interview on September 28, 2013, Saturday.

He said the details were sketchy, but the boat which had over 150 passengers capsized midway and drowned 42 people, while 100 others were missing.

The spokesman said that local divers from Malili Village had recovered 42 corpses, while efforts were being intensified to rescue possible survivors or the corpse of those drowned.

"At the moment search and rescue is ongoing on the river.

"I will make the details of the incident later, but the agency has dispatch its officers to assist the villagers in the rescue efforts,'' he said.

Mr. Hussaini said the recovered corpses would be given mass burial close to the river bank, adding that neighbouring villages had been alerted to look out for floating corpses.

Saidu Ndako, the Secretary to the State Government, also confirmed the boat mishap.

"I received the information late in the night that a boat had capsized and 42 persons have drowned in the incident, while rescue operation is ongoing.

"We believe that the boat was overload because the boat's capacity was put at 60 passengers, but over 150 passengers were said to be on board during the incident.

"The debris in the swollen river may also have been responsible for the incident," Mr. Ndako said.

Mr. Ndako said that the government condoled with the family of those who had lost their loved ones, and pray that Allah grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Too much money

Wedding bells ringing!

demelza: If tpia decides to comment, make I compile the name-callers for easy attack.

Abeg, if tpia steps on this thread. Alert me, make i modify some of ma post and step out immediately, better still view as a guest

demelza: Dont be foul! Not good referring to a lady as a beast.

Lady mba! She is an angry, lonely old woman

demelza: Your plan will fail in Jesus name. Its not fair wanting that amount of people to gang up on one person but I know tpia is more than equal to the task.

Wasn't planning anything oo, just said i was waiting for her nairaland fans to comment! Lool

Baybe: OP, na trouble you dey find soo

*just watching*

Seconded, the Op is seriously looking for trouble.

To the Op, why are you stalking her on line, are you obssessed with her?

Waiting for some monikers to comment, chief amidst them are; babyosisi(can't 4get that bloody e-fight they had then: die, die)lool, r231, freigburger, mynd....

Grabs a seat, this thread gotta be interesting!

Acidosis: Most people today find themselves in Physiology/Pharmacology/Anatomy/Medical Biochemistry department after the college of Medicine failed to admit them for MBBS...

I'll always advice such people never to accept para-medical courses.. Its a sure key to frustration except the individual involved is ready to explore other sectors.

Same applies to most courses in the faculty of science.

Who wants to employ a physiologist in a hospital when the Doc is ready and willing to do everything?

Or a Medical Biochemist when the Lab Scientist is available?

Pharmacology on the other hand is completely different from Pharmacy..
A Pharmacist cannot do the work of a Pharmacologist...

But who employs them to practise in Nigeria?

Now that all we do is import drugs from India and then call a Pharmacist to come for packaging and registration.

I think its time for NUC to completely cancel all 'irrelevant' courses to a common Nigerian in Nigeria

Seconded, those courses are almost irrelevant, the best you can do is to further for MSc and phd and hope you get a lecturing appointment, cos you'll still face competitions from Medical doctors, its better they scrap those paramedical courses.

I am a medical student, but got friends in physiology departments, that we do talk and they do lament, i do pity them they αℓωαчs look inferior, even the medicine now is becomming difficult to get employment nowadays, got seniors who are still looking for a place to attach, this are medical doctors oo, and its everywher, law, accounting, engineering....may God help us in this country!

https://edge.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Reps-in-a-free-for-all-in-Abuja-...on-Tuesday1-360x225.jpg

Fighting erupted in  the House of Representatives on Tuesday when   seven governors loyal to the New Peoples Democratic Party visited  the House in Abuja.

A member of the House  from Bayelsa State, Mr. Henry Ofongo, was punched and shoved repeatedly by his colleagues for daring to  oppose  the visit. His  jacket  was pulled off  by some members.

Most of the members who crowded Ofongo, were from Kano State, including Mr. Aminu Suleiman, Mr. Baballe Murktar, Mr. Ali Madakaki and Mr. Ado Dogoa.

Mr. Dakuku Peterside and Andrew Uchendu, both from Rivers State, also shoved Ofongo, preventing him from moving close to the high table.

In the ensuing fracas, other members , who were in solidarity with Ofongo, attempted to throw chairs.

One of the lawmakers, who lifted a chair but was prevented from throwing it, was Mr. Ini Udoka from Akwa Ibom State.

Mr. Emmanuel Okon, also from Akwa Ibom State, joined the fighting on the side of Ofongo.

Udoka and Okon, like Afongo,  are  pro- Bamanga Tukur-led  National Working Committee of the PDP lawmakers.

The governors in the New PDP that visited the lawmakers were  Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); and Abdul-Fatai Ahmed (Kwara).

They arrived the House  in company with the National Chairman of the New PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje.

The Speaker of the House, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, and other principal officers received them in  Room 0.28.

Other principal officers in attendance were the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha; the Majority Leader, Mrs. Mulikat Akande-Adeola; the Chief Whip, Mr. Ishaka Bawa;  the Deputy Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor; and  the Deputy Whip, Mr. Murktar Ahmed.

As Baraje was introduced and asked to state the purpose of their visit, Afongo stormed the venue with  Betty Apiafi (Rivers); Bethel Amadi (Imo); Kingsley Chinda (Rivers); Bitrus Kaze (Plateau).

Afongo shouted “point of order”, “point of order” and charged in the direction of the high table in a bid to register his protest.

He  said the meeting must not hold because he did not believe that many of the people at the venue were PDP members.

But, the pro-Baraje members stopped him, shoving and throwing punches in the process. Afongo too responded with punches.

When Baraje ignored the disruption and tried to proceed with his speech, more  protesters trooped in, chanting anti-New PDP slogans.

They sang, “No, way, no way; PDP, Tukur; PDP, Tukur.”

The loud protest drowned the speech  on the efforts  being made  to “address the culture of impunity in the PDP.”

One of the protesters, Apiafi, complained that the House was supporting “illegality.”

She fumed, “This is illegality; we have only one PDP, they should stop this rubbish. How can we legalise it in the House? The Speaker should not do this (receive  the  Baraje  delegation).

Kaze, who is from Plateau State, also said, “Tukur is the only known Chairman of the PDP.”

A lawmaker from Kogi State, Mr. Tajudeen Yusuf, described the visit as “unnecessary” because it would worsen the party crisis.

Outside the venue, Afongo told reporters that the presence of a “large number of non-PDP members”  at the meeting angered him.

He said, “Baraje is a leader in the party. If he is coming to address us, no problem.

“But, I saw a crowd and non-party members among them. I wanted to ask why and they started pushing me and shouting me down.”

Responding to Baraje’s speech, Tambuwal carefully avoided the factional crisis in the party.

Rather, he berated politicians for being on  a voyage to destroy democracy.

The Speaker observed that self-interest, rather than the welfare of the majority of Nigerians, was uppermost in the minds of politicians.

He said he could not comprehend why politicians, who constitute less than “25 per cent” of the country’s population, were taking the majority for a ride.

Tambuwal   added. “We are deeply concerned about recent political developments in our country, especially in the PDP.

“Democracy belongs to all Nigerians and not to politicians alone. Many people died fighting for democracy. This is a reason we must conduct ourselves according to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We must abstain from  heating up  the polity unnecessarily because of our personal ambitions.”

Earlier, Akande-Adeola had welcomed the delegation, expressing hope that the visit would be the “beginning of the end to the crisis in our party.”

The meeting ended hurriedly as tension escalated.

Some pro-Baraje lawamakers later addressed journalists after the meeting and condemned the disruption of  the proceedings by those loyal to the Tukur-led PDP.

Led by  Uchendu,they explained that the delegation merely came to brief their loyalists on the steps taken so far to reform the party.

He said, “It is most unfortunate that some people came to disrupt the meeting. This is the type of lawlessness that takes place in the PDP.

“That is what we are saying, no, not anymore. But, we all saw what happened.”

None of the governors uttered a word, as they hurriedly left the venue.

Baraje also  led  his team  members to the Senate where they  briefed the Senate leadership about their grouse with the Tukur-led National Working Committee of the PDP.

Baraje said they decided to visit the Senate leaders  because of its  strategic importance in the resolution of  the PDP crisis.

He noted with concern that the democratic image of the  PDP started declining in  recent years due to  the lack of internal democracy caused by the  interference of  the Presidency.

The New PDP chairman said the development had affected the quality of the party   and style of leadership  “that now takes pride in illegal dissolution of states’ party structures and other acts of impunity.”

Apart from the initial demands of the governors, Baraje asked the Senate leaders to ignore the calls on them to declare  the seats of Senators loyal to  the New PDP vacant.

Responding, the President of the Senate, David Mark, assured  the team that all  the  issues it raised would be addressed dispassionately.

He said  the Senate  would not declare the seat of any Senator vacant on account of the current crisis within the PDP.

Meanwhile, the Tukur faction of the PDP has  explained that its national officers did not go to the National Assembly on Tuesday as earlier planned because of the ceasefire agreement entered into by the aggrieved governors and the President.

Its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, told journalists that there was the need for the ceasefire to be kept.

He said, “ We are abiding by the decision reached at the Sunday meeting where we were directed to avoid anything that would be seen as inflaming the crisis.

“This was why we were not at the National Assembly. We don’t want to do anything that would be seen as stalling the ongoing reconciliation.”

Lafia -  The Nasarawa State Ministry of Information and Ethical Re-orientation, Lafia, has been  gutted by fire on Friday.

The fire, which started in the ministry’s  store, destroyed  property worth millions of Naira.

The ministry’s staff intervened by using  detergents and water to check the fire before the arrival of  fire fighters.

When journalists visited the scene, the Commissioner, Alhaji Hamza Elayo, and other senior staff of the ministry were seen making  efforts to put off the fire.

A competent source in the ministry told our reporter that  no life was lost in the inferno.

He said archival materials such as calendars, historical documents, diaries and other electrical appliances  were burnt.

Elayo  told reporters that the  fire  was caused by  power fluctuations.

Elayo said that the fire started around 10.30 a.m but was put off through  efforts of the ministry’s staff before the arrival of fire fighters from the state fire service.

He said  the ministy’s store was being  reorganised before the  incident.

Elayo said that experts  would  be invited from the state ministry of works to ascertain the  level of damage in the building to avoid cracks that might lead to its collapse. (NAN)

Pope Francis has already made headlines for choosing a five-year-old Ford Focus as his preferred papal transportation, part of a public emphasis on thrift and poverty

https://img.naij.com/n/06/1/popefrancisrenautl4.jpg

But last weekend, the pontiff expanded his garage with the addition of a 29-year-old sedan with 186,000 miles as his personal car.

According to the Catholic News Agency and others, the car, a 1984 Renault4, was donated to the pope by Italian pastor Renzo Zocca. Zocca had written Pope Francis earlier this year, offering to donate the car which Zocca had used for decades while working in impoverished neighborhoods of Verona, as a symbol of their shared concern for fighting poverty.

A month ago, Francis called Zocca and asked why he didn't just donate the car to someone else who needed it. "I answered that this car had already given much to the poor and now it had to go to the pope," Zocca said.

According to Governor Adams Oshiomhole


“Without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there need to closely watch him which his parents could not do.He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal”, Oshiomhole noted.
“This incident was probably the kind of trigger that we needed to improve the facilities at our Airports. You are never going to have all the money you need to do all you have to do. You should start from somewhere"

Good move right?
