By Uju Mbanusi
For 22-year-old Sunday
Onyike, a Business
Administration student of
Yaba College of Technology,
Yaba-Lagos, the hope of
successfully rounding up his
programme with the his
peers have been dashed.
This is because of the
prolonged treatment he has
been receiving since March,
2011 as a result of serious
injury he sustained during a
scuffle with his neighbours
identified as Augustine Eleyi,
28, and Emeka Eleyi, 32,
from Ohozara in Mgbo
Ebonyi State.
The injured part and Mr
Okpara father of the
injured
The injured part and Mr
Okpara father of the injured
Sunday, the only son of his
parents from Ohafia in
AbiaState, had his scrotum
slashed off during a fight
with two of his neighbours.
Narrating the circumstances
that led to the problem to
Crime Guard at their Makoko
residence, the father of the
victim, Onyike Okpara,65,
stated; “I have been living in
this compound since 1970.
I had five children but only
two are alive; that is Sunday
and his younger sister who
works at LagosIsland.
I occupy two rooms in the
building, one room which I
sleep in, and the other at the
back of the building, where
my children sleep. When ever
my daughter comes home
from work, she buys and
shares biscuits, sweets and
gala to our neighbour’s
children. So, the children
always look forward to her
returning from work.
More so, when ever she is
sharing these goodies to the
children, two of our
neighbours, Augustine Eleyi
and his elder brother, Emeka
Eleyi (who normally sits on
the chair I kept in front of my
children’s room at the boys
quarters to smoke Indian
hemp), would always walk
up to them, grab what ever
is within their grasp, and
flee. Instead of them to ask,
they would grab what ever
they can and run away. My
daughter complained about
this to me, and I had called
and cautioned them to desist
from such act, but they
would not listen.
On the evening of March 1st,
2011, she was seated at the
boys’ quarters with some
children sharing some gala
when Augustine Eleyi, came
and as usual, grabbed one
gala and ran away.
My daughter pursued him
and in the process, N200 fell
from his pocket. She picked
it up and said it would serve
as a payment for all the gala
and biscuits he has been
snatching from them.
Later on, on a second
thought, she decided to give
him back the money as she
thought it was not worth it.
Having searched around for
him, and not knowing of his
whereabouts, she decided to
give him the money the next
day.
On the evening of that day
which was the 2nd of March,
2011, after she got back
from work, she took the
money to him at the boys
quarters, but he said he does
not want it anymore. At that
point, an argument ensued
between them, during which
his younger brother, Emeka
Eleyi collected the money
from my daughter.
As the argument continued,
my son Sunday who was in
the room preparing for the
next day’s lecture, told his
sister to let the matter be,
and go to our main room
and sleep, while he asked
Augustine and Emeka to
leave the place because they
were disturbing him with
their noise.
Augustine asked him if the
place looked like his school
hostel, that if he wants to
read, he should pack his
books and go to his school
hostel. As the argument
raged, he slapped my son,
who grabbed him on his
shirt asking ‘what have I
done to you’?, Emeka rushed
to them pretending as if we
was going for peace only for
him to grab my son’s two
hands, while Augustine
rushed and fetched a sharp
object, and used it to slash
my son’s scrotum.
I feel he actually wanted to
cut off his male organ, but
missed. My son’s cry of agony
attracted the attention of
passersby, because part of
the compound is a
thoroughfare; it was these
passersby that ran to inform
us at the other side of the
building.
I ran to the place and met my
son in a pool of his blood. On
sighting us, the culprits
bolted. I wanted to run after
them but I was weakened by
the sight of my son lying in
pains, in the pool of his
blood.
I also thought, if I go after
them at that point, what
would be the fate of my son
when I get back, hence I
opted to stay back, with the
help of the other neighbours
and some of our church
members, my son was
rushed to the State Criminal
Investigations Department,
SCID, Panti, Yaba, from
where we obtained a note to
take him to the hospital. At
that time, the GeneralHospital
was on strike, we brought
my son back to Adekunle
Police Station, and they asked
us to find a private hospital
and take him there.
So, we took him to a private
hospital at Iwaya. Augustine
and Emeka were later
apprehended by neighbours
who went after them, and
handed over to the police.”
Crime Guard learnt that the
case has been at the Yaba
Magistrate’s Court since
2011. Onyike Okpara
further told our reporter that
for one month his son was
at the hospital in Iwaya, the
Eleyi family only contributed
N15,000 for the medical bills.
He stated, “after the initial
N15,000 installment they
brought when Sunday was
taken to the hospital, I have
not heard from them.
Three times, my pastor and
family called them to seek
out ways to settle the matter
amicably; when they come,
they will be dribbling us, they
will promise to contribute to
the medical bills but we wont
hear from them after that. I
have so far spent almost
N200,000, I have the medical
bill to prove that”.
He also alleged that some
members of the Eleyi family
have threatened him to
accept their term of payment,
which is to pay N40,000, as
their contribution; and
withdraw the case from
court. He stated, “On
November 18, 2012 at about
9:30pm, they sent six men,
out of which I recognized
three, they came asking me
to sign a document, I could
not properly read through
because of my poor sight, at
that time of the night.
One of them practically told
me that “ so many people die
in Lagos every day, and their
corpses are never
discovered; I would want
your corpse to be found”.
What he meant by that, I do
not know. I don’t feel safe
anymore.
First, they tried to take my
son away, now they are
threatening me to accept a
condition I don’t think any of
them would accept if it were
their son that was involved.”
Counsel to the defendant,
Worer Obuagbaka, on his
part told Crime Guard that
what happened between the
defendant and the
complainant was
unfortunate. According to
him, they have been living
peacefully together for some
years, what we are trying to
do is to see if we can settle
the case amicably.” He said
the defendants have been
granted bail but are still in
police custody because they
have not been able to perfect
their bail.

We Were Not Target Of motor Park Bombing – Kano igbo Leaders

The leadership of Igbo Community Association, Kano yesterday afternoon declared that the Igbo speaking group was not the target of March 19th motor park bombing over which lives and properties were lost in Sabon Gari area of Kano state.

“We want to use this opportunity to say that the incident was not targeted at any particular ethnic group as the casualty cut across all tribes of Nigeria. Victims include Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, ethnic nationalities from North central, and South South geo-political zones”, Chief Chi Nwogu, President, Kano chapter of Igbo Community Association declared.

Addressing reporters in Kano, Chief Chi Nwogu who spoke on behalf of Igbo federating states said that the figures jointly collated by the leadership of Luxury bus Union revealed that a total of 37 persons died during the blast while 75 other sustained injuries.

“We mandated the leadership of the luxurious bus park to carefully collate the data of the affected victims. Casualty figures now indicate that thirty seven persons died in the explosion, while 75 sustained various degrees of injuries”, Chief Nwogu said.

The Igbo leader disowned and regretted misleading reports earlier dished out to the public that tend to pitch them against their host in Kano, stressing that “the mischievous information was not from a credible source” and therefore enjoined the Igbos to continue to live peacefully with other non natives in their domain.

Chief Nwogu said that “there was clever attempt by disgruntle elements who take interest in making inflammatory statements and publications capable of inciting us against our host government. The reckless statement sent inciting signals to our kith and kins at home and in diaspora because of misrepresentation of facts about the attack”

The President of the ICA warned that “lives must not be used for politicking and as such, we must strive to be objective in our judgment and comments on delicate matters like this one. We also appeal to our people at home to remain calm and avoid any act that would aggravate the already tensed situation.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) –
Facebook fueled fresh talk
Friday about its own mobile
phone after the leading
social network scheduled a
press announcement for
next week.
Shortly after the Facebook
invitation went out for the
April 4 event, the technology
news site TechCrunch
reported the announcement
would be a modified version
of the Google Android
operating system with “deep
native Facebook
functionality.”
Another report on “9 to 5
Google” said Facebook
designing the software for
the new smartphone, which
would be made by Taiwan’s
HTC.
Facebook’s invitation said
only “Come See Our New
Home On Android.”
The reports, if accurate,
could explain the long
speculation about a
“Facebook phone” to help
the social network better
monetize its mobile platform
by featuring Facebook
prominently on the phone.
Facebook has long held firm
it has no intention of
building its own
smartphone, saying instead
it would rather weave access
to the social network into
software running the gamut
of handsets.
News of the April 4 event at
social network’s main
campus in the Silicon Valley
city of Menlo Park came as
the research firm IDC
released a Facebook-backed
study showing that
smartphones have become
people’s close friends in the
US.
US smartphone owners tend
to be connected from the
instant they rise until they fall
sleep and revel in every
minute of it, according to the
study.
A weeklong IDC survey of
more than 7,000 people
ranging in age from 18 to 44
years old with iPhones or
Android-powered
smartphones showed that
four out of five check their
handsets within 15 minutes
of waking.
The top three applications
used were for messaging;
Web browsing, and
Facebook, in that order,
according to IDC.
“People have a universal
need to connect with others,
especially those they care
deeply about,” IDC
researchers said.
“This coupled with mass
market adoption of
smartphones means that
social engagement via
phones has become
mainstream.”
At a TechCrunch Disrupt
conference in San Francisco
in September, Facebook co-
founder Mark Zuckerberg
said the social network giant
is focused on mobile devices.
“It is really clear from the
stats and my own personal
intuition that a lot of energy
in the ecosystem is going to
mobile, not desktop
(computers),” Zuckerberg
said during an on-stage
interview.
“That is the future,” he
continued. “We are going to
be doing killer stuff there.”
Facebook has made a
priority of following its more
than one billion members
onto smartphones and tablet
computers, tailoring services
and money-making ads for
mobile devices.
“Now, we are a mobile
company,” Zuckerberg said
at the conference.
Zuckerberg rejected
suggestions that Facebook
would make its own
smartphone, adamant that
the company had no
intention of stepping into
the fiercely competitive
handset hardware arena.
“Apple, Google, everyone
builds phones — we are
going in the opposite
direction,” Zuckerberg said
at the time.
“We want to build a system
deeply integrated in every
device people want to use.”

By Taye Obateru, Jos
Nine more people have been
killed by gunmen in an attack
on Ratas village of Barkin
Ladi Local Government Area
of Plateau State, just as four
beggars were Friday crushed
to death near the Jos Central
Mosque when a truck driver
lost control and ran over
them where they were
seated begging for arms.
The incident happened at
about 4.30 pm.
The killing at Ratas is alleged
to have been carried out by
the same gun men who
killed about 20 people in two
villages of Bokkos Local
Government area a few days
ago.
They were believed to have
capitalized on the massive
deployment of members of
the Special Task Force (STF)
from their posts in the area
to Bokkos LGA to attack the
village.
Chairman, Management
Committee of Barkin Ladi
Local Government Area Mr.
Emmanuel Loman who
attended the mass burial of
those killed confirmed the
attack.
He said the attackers fleeing
from Bokkos LGA following
the massive deployment of
troops to the area attacked
the village as they were
escaping and raised an alarm
that the movement of the
suspected Fulani militia had
also been noticed around
Gashish in the LGA.
He warned that they could
unleash terror on the people
of the area unless something
was done urgently to repel
them.
Also confirming the Ratas
killings, acting spokesman of
the STF Navy Lt. Jude Akpa
said the force responded
promptly on hearing the
report of the attack but the
gunmen had fled before they
arrived there.
He said members of the STF
took those injured to
hospital for treatment on
arrival at the village.

OAU Ile Ife- Citadel for learning and culture.

Pearl Preparatory School, Ile Ife- To God be the glory.

Olusegun Obasanjo once did it!

A torn or fade on a bill has no effect on its financial or monetary power but a reduction in its facial quality.

Faded bills spoil swaggs mehn! Most especially when trying to impress the new chics.

Andre Uweh: Anyway, you have learnt that weapons developed indigenously by Biafra could not hurt only flies as you believed but destroyed humans, properties and convoys.
Now back to the thread. I have named 4 Biafran heroes out of my original 32. Name yours and stop seeking for cheap attention. Must you comment on any thread that you haven't got the intelligence to do so?.

if you feel like seeing my own list, then go to the front page to view the two names i mentioned.
Seeking attention from who? Are you seun or any of the moderators? Obviously you are an entity like any other member here.
Just want you to understand this isn't a beer parlour where you can just be spewing anything sir!

Andre Uweh: Why are you making a mockery of yourself in this thread. At first you said that the weapons developed locally in Biafra were capable of killing only flies. I responded by posting photographs of the destruction of the mass weapon. What else do you want?. You want photos of Biafra's destruction of 96 vehicles as if your fathers were able to develop such type of cameras in the 60's.
This thread is about Biafran heroes, so get out of here as yo know none of them.
SCRAM AND STOP DERAILING THE THREAD.

you gat no point!

First world war was fought between 1914-1918, 2nd world war was fought between 1939-1945, korean war was fought between 1950-1953. These wars were fought before the biafran war and they had a better camera view of the landscape of the affected place.

Oh! she didn't die.

She was made breathless as she was high when smoothly cruising and progressing to the 7th heaven in the train of love. Only to wake up in the casket rover.

Another problem with nigeria.

Someone having over 200 pairs of shoes to canvass our heart while one had no shoes to canvass our heart!

Ya! it is a fashion!
But not a fashionable fashion.

Cos the beautiful ones are not yet born!

Nature always find its way to balance the beauty with the beast (remember the beauty and the beast).

If two beautiful lovers marry, the offsprings will be to beautiful. (excess of everything, including beauty, is not good)

Guess you want to engage her with your prick!

Anyway, it is a very nice idea at least to reward her pretty mind.

Step aside Omotola – there’s a
new FB millionaire in town, and
it’s none other than MTVBase.
The pan-African music network
is rolling out the drums to
celebrate the big feat, becoming
the biggest music community on
Facebook in Africa.
Commenting on the stride, Senior
Vice President & Managing
Director, Viacom International
Media Networks (VIMN) Africa,
Alex Okosi, stated, ‘It is
gratifying to see the positive
results of the investment we
have made in ensuring that
young music lovers can explore
and exploit multiple media
platforms to connect with the
MTV Base brand and actively
interact with the content they
love.’
Nigeria has over six million
Facebook users, with the bulk of
that number young men and
women drunk on the spirit of
social media. Just like Omotola,
and Enoch Adeboye who have
huge following here in Africa,
MTV is building up its influence,
riding on its continental
operations, with engaging music
and video contents.
MTV Base Africa was launched in
February 2005 throughout the
African continent to deliver
a uniquely engaging mix of
entertainment, interactivity,
aspirational imagery and
programme content.

macjive01: yes they are contributing immensely to Houston's development , not huston.

Sam Houston wouldn't even be happy with you if he heard this.

ACM10: Why are you playing hide-n-seek game? You boldly stated that 90% of Aburi provisions were promulgated. Then I requested for the copy of the Aburi accord with which you arrived at that figure. Many agreements were left out in my copy, while others were watered down to the level that will be unacceptable to the other party.

Sometimes it can be frustrating debating with you, especially whenever you starts to play your hide-n-seek game. No need to respond to you again if you do not produce your copy of Aburi agreement or show us how you got your ridiculous figure of 90% honoured and 10% rejected.

you can just challenged him to post your own copy of the aburi accord!

chosen04: FYI, Soyinka wasn't a beneficiary of that charade product. He even reconfirmed it from the link you posted by saying "that he benefitted from it at the TERITARY level. Please don't tell me that you don't the meaning of teritary level as quoted by Soyinka?

aunty chosen! Answer my question.
Is tertiary level education not part of education system?

Andre Uweh: When you produce weapons that destroys a convoy of 96 vehicles, is that not massive?.
See the photograph once again. It was a massive destruction of Gen M. Mohammed's div at Abagana.
Are you learning?.

the number of vehicles an seeing here are not even up to 10 let alone 96.
Yes! Am learning to conform to your hyperbole sir.

The problem of nigeria is the NIGERIANS!

Seems GEJ has realised that committee setting doesn't work.
I don't trust him anyway, cos that may be what he may finally turn to
