ONLY IGBOS AND IBOS: Missing Child Found In A Man’s Belly Wed, Dec 1, 2010 News, State News Mr. Hafiz Ringim, AIG of Police Wonders, they say, never end as the entire Osumenyi town was thrown into apprehensive mood following the discovery of a missing child in the belly of a man recently. National Vision sources hinted that the wonderous and mysterious incident happened at the popular [b]Eke market in Osumenyi town, Nnewi South local government area of Anambra State.[/b]According to sources, one woman (name withheld) went to Eke Osumenyi Market that fateful day with two of her children (names withheld) without any fore-knowledge that something strange was about to happen in her life. The woman was reportedly busy carrying out some business transactions when suddenly she noticed that one of her children was not present again where she was with the second child. Sources hinted that the ugly development led her to suspend the business transactions she was doing to run frantically from one corner of the market to the other searching for her missing child. But all her efforts to locate the whereabouts of the child proved abortive. National Vision learnt that on the advice of some of the traders who converged at the missing child’s mother shop, the names of the missing child was collected from the mother and pronounced loudly in every corner of the market so as to attract the missing child’s attention in case he was playing with his mates who came to the market with their mothers and other relations. But surprisingly, the missing child’s whereabout could not be traced. The people continued to ransack the market searching for the missing child but to no avail. [/b]Mysteriously, when every hope of tracing the missing child has almost dimmed, the mother moved to one corner of the Eke market and shouted the name of her missing child and, wonderfully, the missing child answered her mother inside a man’s belly. [b] Amazed with what she heard, the woman repeated her missing child’s name severally and each time, he answered from the man’s belly. The woman jumped up, got hold of the mysterious man and started, creaming to the topmost of her voice. Moments later, the traders in the market stormed the scene and the man was held and asked to produce the missing child. As the name of the missing child was repeated severally, it continued to answer from the man’s belly. Before the mysterious man could do anything, the traders pounced on him and gave him thorough beating of his life. he was almost inyched if not for the timely intervention of some elders and the law enforcement agents in the market who rescued him. When he was taken to a safe corner, he was persuaded to produce the missing child, failure of which could cost him his own precious life. [/b]Convinced that the sourging crowd in the market will not let him go scot free if he failed to produce the child immediately, he was said to have performed some incantations and subsequently, the little child re-appeared. Nevertheless, this reporter gathered that the child appeared smaller in size than what he was originally before the incident occurred.[b] National Vision was informed that the reappearance of the missing child was another miracle and strange thing of its own. But it did not make the people at the scene of the incident to release the mystery man either. Sources claimed that the child was immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention while the mysterious man was promptly handed over to the police for more investigations and possible prosecution. Unfortunately, this reporter gathered that the child died three days later while the mystery man has since been charged to court. |
ONLY IBOS: Nigeria, like any other country, is known for many things. It is known for it's talented crop of writers, performers and even scientists like John Dabiri. Unfortunately, it is also known for poverty in the midst of oil wealth. But even worse than that sad reality is that Nigeria is increasingly becoming a kidnapping capital. Nowhere else is this madness exemplified than in the reports of 15 young children that were kidnapped on September 27th, 2010. The children in question were being shuttled to school in a school bus when the kidnapping occurred. According to NEXT, their bus was cornered by a Toyota Camry, the bus driver was forced out at gun point and the children where taken away. News of the incident sent anger through Nigerians. 24 hours after the incident, the BBC reported that the criminals wanted a ransom of N29 million or approximately $300,000. On September 28th, president Jonathan reacted to the terrible situation describing it as "utterly callous and cruel". He also ordered the country's newest Inspector General of Police to "take all necessary steps to rescue the abducted children and return them safely to their parents." I have said before that the growing kidnapping in Nigeria is less a statement on the kidnappers and more a statement of Nigeria as a nation. In this case, it is a failure and unwillingness to make demands of fellow citizens, leaders and even criminals to get into order. Instead, the nation sighs, shakes it's collective head, then wags a collective finger and waits for someone else (read God/Allah/a higher being) to tackle the problem on the nation's behalf. The reality is that until Nigerians themselves decide that kidnapping will no longer be tolerated, the trend ( if one dare relegate it to that) will continue unabated. After all, it is common knowledge that certain politicians, members of the elite and some security forces are knee deep in not just the creation of kidnapping as a tool of brute force, but its continued existence in Nigerian society. As such, it is foolish and maybe even insane to expect that category of people - politicians, the elite and security forces - to solve the problem. Bringing an end to kidnapping would require Nigerians to take a deeper look into the recesses of their own society and shed light on their dark secrets. The factors that create and reinforce kidnapping: greed, corruption at all levels, unaccountable leadership and an unnecessarily passive public. These all combine with other issues to keep the country in some fatigue or the other, be it kidnapping fatigue or demoralizing PPP. With the upcoming elections, I can only hope that the people of Abia state, where these children and many other individuals have been kidnapped, will vote their obviously ineffective leaders out of office. This includes not just local state politicians such as Governor Orji, but also their representatives in the National Assembly who have been ineffective in bringing rampant kidnapping to a conclusion. If one is to be consistent, the same would anti-incumbent push would apply to the current president who is in charge of the armed forces and determines who runs the national police force and it's operations in Abia state. Will the electorate use their vote to require accountability and punish lawmakers and others for failing to handle the nation's kidnapping problem? Only time will tell. But even though Nigeria has the tendency to surprise, I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, my thoughts are with those 15 children that were taken from their families. And, I hope that Nigeria will bravely face and tackle it's many challenges. Kidnapping included. |

Anything short of banning the above mentioned would spell doom for the future of the politics section of this forum. |
BUMP God Bless Yorubaland! |
Ochi_Agha:] You can include Ochi Agha = Omemani as well. He has the tendency to turn every serious thread in the politics section into a discussion of Boobies, pussy and Sex.
