Man With Four Children Die After Poisoned Corn Meal In Enugu

A man identified as Mr. Charles Nnadi and his four children have been confirmed dead at Mbu Apochi community in Isiuzo local government area of Enugu State after taking a corn and cassava meal believed to have been poisoned.

 The incident caused panic among residents of the community while members of the Nnadi family were thrown into mourning.

Sources said that Nnadi and six children became sick and unconscious after eating the mixture of cassava and corn flour and were rushed to St. Mark’s Hospital, Eha-Amufu by sympathizers but the family head and two of his children died few minutes later.

Following their death, four other members of the family, who were admitted along with them, were transferred to a trado-medical hospital at Enugu-Ezike, Igbo Eze North local government where two of the children later gave up the ghost.

The remaining two are now lying critically at the hospital and their condition is said to be precarious.

Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the death of the five persons in Enugu, yesterday, said that the operatives of the state command had already began full scale investigations with a view to unraveling the mystery and circumstances surrounding the alleged incident of food poisoning.

Meanwhile, some sympathizers and relations of the deceased persons have described the incident as tragic and shocking, urging law-enforcement agencies to ensure proper investigation of the matter to determine whether the food poisoning was masterminded by someone.

Such investigation, they said, was necessary to fish out the perpetrators and bring them to book, lamenting that such mysterious deaths had become very rampant within Nsukka area in recent times.

46 year old Woman gives birth to triplets After 11 children

A 46-year-old housewife, Malama Delu Alhaji-Ali, of Unguwar Namanda village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, has been delivered of a set of triplets during what was her 12th consecutive childbirth.

Delu gave birth to the triplets at the Comprehensive Health Care Centre in Faskari on Saturday.

Hajia Binta Suleiman, the Nursing Officer in charge of the health centre’s maternity ward, said that both the mother and her three baby boys were in stable condition.

Suleiman said that Delu was delivered of the babies unassisted, adding, however, that she had been on admission in the hospital for the last four days when officials noticed that her expected date of delivery was fast approaching.

Suleiman said that the set of triplets was the first recorded in the hospital this year, and she urged Delu’s husband and relations as well as the local government authorities to assist the mother by ensuring that she had access to nutritious foods.

Meanwhile, Hajia Sa’adatu Faskari-Ahmad, the wife of Faskari Local Government Council’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, has donated some clothes and cash to the woman and her triplets.

Faskari-Ahmad congratulated Delu, stressing that the triplets were a rare and extraordinary blessing from Allah.

Responding, Delu expressed appreciation for the gifts and the support she received from the hospital workers.

She said that the triplets bring the number of her children to 14 since all her previous eleven births were single babies.

Delu, however, recalled that before giving birth to the triplets, she experienced some abnormalities during the initial stage of the pregnancy.

She said that although the responsibility of taking care of the three children would be quite challenging for her, she would overcome the challenges with Allah's support.

30 year Old Prophetess Set Ablaze While Celebrating Trance (PHOTOS)

She was a paragon of beauty not long ago. She now wears a new but frightening look. But when 30 year-old Prophetess Folashade Esther Ogunseye of the Celestial Church Genesis Model Parish Agbado, Ogun state went into trance for seven days sometime in July this year, she warned her church members not to celebrate the feat for her.

But they would have none of that as they insisted on rolling out the drums. So on the fateful day, they prepared food and practically dragged her to the church where they danced round her to celebrate the spiritual feat.

In the midst of the celebration, one of the church workers called Elijah allegedly sprayed perfume known in celestial parlance as Ona La on the dancers without taking cognizance of lighted candles which some of them were holding.

Alas the perfume caught fire and Sade was set ablaze along with three other members who had joined in the celebration. A pastor in the church who had come to rescue them was also affected by the fire.

However, Sade was the worst-hit as she suffered severe burns. So the once delectable Sade has been turned to a monster of sort.

Gowon Lambasts Achebe; Says His Book Was Written Out of Ignorance

 "What role did Achebe play in the secessionist plans? Achebe must have been outside the country during the war and probably did not know what happened during the period otherwise he would not have written on what he was not sure of ".

 Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has criticized renowned author, Professor Chinua Achebe, over his new book on the Nigerian civil war, saying Achebe does not know the facts of the issue he was writing about.

 Gowon said he was ready to face the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague on the matter if necessary.

 “In fact , if there was no secession by the south eastern part of the country, there would have been no civil war because right from the beginning of the crises, the war would have been averted if not for the secession . It was something I believed we could have stopped,” he stressed.

 Gowon also debunked the claim by the author that his administration embarked on the mass killing of Igbo, adding that the federal troops did not also use hunger as a weapon to dislodge the dissidents.

 “It was the Igbo that objected to the creation of corridor for movements of medical aid and food supplies to the civilian population at the period. On this, I am ready to face the International Criminal Court of Justice at the Hague for prosecution over the role played by me during the war and, fortunately, some Nigerians are still alive to bear witness to the roles played by both the leadership of the secessionist group and the then Federal Military Government under my leadership," Gowon stressed

Gowon also revealed that during the war, a ship named “Josina” and owned by the secessionist group, which they claimed was carrying agricultural implements, was captured by federal troops and when it was subjected to a thorough search, the cargo turned out to be a collection of arms and ammunition.

 The erstwhile Nigerian leader, was answering questions from journalists when he visited Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu at the Presidential Lodge, Minna, Niger state, on Saturday.

Sir Alex Ferguson eyes midfield role for Rooney ahead of Chelsea summit meeting

Wayne Rooney will be restored to a midfield role in Sunday's Premier League summit meeting

against Chelsea as Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson goes on the defensive in a bid to improve his side's dire recent record at Stamford Bridge
 The burgeoning partnership between the Englishman and Robin van Persie has provided one of the more encouraging aspects of United's start to the new season. The deadly duo have contributed eight league goals to the Old Trafford outfit's cause already this term and dovetailed to devastating effect in October 20's 4-2 victory against Stoke City.

But United's patchy defensive form – they have conceded four times in two games and fallen behind in eight of their 12 matches in all competitions this term – allied to their poor record in west London has convinced Sir Alex to opt for a more conservative 4-5-1 line-up against the league leaders.

MANCHESTER UNITED LATEST


 Although United battled back from 3-0 down to force an improbable draw in the corresponding fixture last season, their record at the home of the current European champions, where they have not won in the league for over 10 years, is poor.

Rooney, who opened his season's account for his club with a brace against Tony Pulis' side, will therefore be restored to the midfield role which he filled with distinction against Newcastle in a 3-0 win earlier in October, with Sir Alex mindful of needing to thwart Chelsea's attacking triumvirate of Oscar, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata.
The Scot must also perm one from three of Anderson, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher, who is in line to make his first Premier League start since last November after impressing in training this week.

Shinji Kagawa misses out with the knee injury that is set to rule him out for up to a month but Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra will be restored to the defence after they were rested for the narrow midweek victory over Braga.

I contracted STD from my husband -Housewife

Mrs. Olushola Gbediga alleged that her husband, Mr. Mathew Gbediga, afflicted her with sexually transmitted disease (STD). Before then, the woman said the husband kept away the STD from her for three months.

Olushola, who dragged her husband before an Agege customary court, claimed her husband was promiscuous to the extent that he was crazy about anything in skirt.
 The woman claimed that her pastor was aware that her husband had STD, and he had been treating it for him.

She added that her husband always accused her of flirting, despite the fact that he was the one that afflicted her with the disease.

Mathew denied the allegation, saying it was his mechanic that told him his wife was dating someone, but he did not believe him until she started complaining that her vagina discharge was smelling badly.

”I was surprised to be told that I had STD, when l went for malaria treatment; so I told my wife and the pastor, but to my surprise my wife did not go for the test, and that made her to conclude that l contacted the disease from her”.

The husband claimed that his wife lied to him that she was going to Agege only for him to discover that she went to Itori, Abeokuta, Ogun State.He therefore pleaded that the court should not dissolve the marriage because he still loved his wife dearly.
 Meanwhile, the court president Mr. Emmanuel Shokunle adjourned the case till November 26 for further hearing.

Army Closing in on Political Leaders of Boko Haram – Major-General

An army officer, the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Maj- Gen. Garba Wahab, yesterday said that the military was closing in on politicians, who sponsor terrorism in the country. According to Wahab, the Police alone cannot handle the security challenges facing the country.

He says, “If we are told by the political leadership of Nigeria to leave the streets today, it will take me just a few minutes to order my soldiers back to the barracks. But the police cannot handle the situation alone; that is why we were called in the first place.

Wahab was speaking when he received the executive members of the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kaduna led by its chairman, Mr. Luka Binniyat, at the 1 Div Headquarters. Kaduna. He said the Army would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that Nigerians live in peace and are well secured.

He continues: “We are dealing with terrorists, who operate a complex command chain and understand their turf very well. Some of them who we have arrested are just the foot-soldiers, who do not even know one another. We believe that they have spiritual and political leaders and we have started getting at them.

“These people have well -stocked arms but we do not want to create panic in the public with revelation of arms we have recovered from them. In Zaria alone, in the house of the an influential man, we engaged these terrorists on several hours of gun battle before we subdued them. We discovered a pile-up of explosives, maybe about a tonne. We had to evacuate the entire area before removing the explosives.”

Mr Bhati said: ‘It’s a miracle animal and I feel blessed to own him. We have looked after this goat like our child and he’s the best goat around. We can easily charge 11 million for such a divine animal, it’s pretty reasonable.’

Mr Bhati, who run’s the family’s marble business, bought the goat from a nearby farm two years’ ago.

He said: ‘I noticed the inscriptions soon after I bought him. I knew it was sacred. Since we took him into our home we have cared for him and fed him pulses, fresh tree leaves and dry fruit. His meat will be very good.’

Mr Bhati has been offered huge sums for the goat since he posted an advert on the Internet last week. However, no one has stepped forward and paid the asking price yet.

Mr Bhati said: ‘The most I’ve been offered so far is 2.5 million rupees (£30,000) but I refused. If anything this goat is a priceless animal. I will only sell it for the asking price. And when I sell it, I’ll give 50 per cent of the money to a local orphanage. We’ll miss him when he’s gone but there cannot be a better occasion to sell him.’

Muslims sacrifice a goat or a sheep on the eve of Eid-al-Adha to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail on God’s command.

K Solo Denies Child’s Paternity As Wife Gives Birth To Baby Boy

The producer’s wife, Kikelomo announced the arival of her new born baby via Twitter yesterday, just a few days after K Solo announced his engagement to another lady called Linda Jacks aka D.J Babylyn.

See The Nigerian Man Who Uses Witchcraft To Terrify Girls Into Sex Slavery Across Europe

 A Nigerian smuggler who terrified his victims into silence through “juju” witchcraft rituals and sexual violence was convicted on the 26th of October which was yesterday of trafficking girls to work in the sex trade across Europe.

 Former security guard Osezua Osolase faces jail when he is sentenced on Monday [Oct. 29] for tricking impoverished young Nigerian girls into travelling to Britain before farming them out as sex workers for up (euros) 70,000 a time to continental gangs.

Police identified flight records and forged passport records to show that he recruited 28 girls and escorted many of them abroad over a 15-month period from 2010. But Osolase boasted to his victims that he had been running the scam for more than a decade.

Osolase deliberately targeted some of the most vulnerable girls in the world - orphaned, ill-educated and homeless - and brought them to Britain where he kept them captive.




 The 42-year-old ensured their obedience by binding the young girls to him with "juju" rituals - a powerful force in parts of Nigeria - that left girls fearing that they would die if they ran away or spoke out against him.

But in a major breakthrough for police, officers traced three of their victims - aged 14, 16, and 17 at the time - who were prepared to give evidence after they were stopped by authorities while travelling to the European cities on false travel documents.

 One of the girls told how she was taken to a house of witchcraft in Lagos. The teenager was given a blood-like mixture told to bathe in it and wrap sodden cloth around her. A priest cut hair from her armpits, some of her finger and toe nails and took blood from her hand. The woman was told that the body parts taken in the ritual would be used to find and kill her if ever she tried to run away.

The majority of Osolase's victims were trafficked to Italy, Spain and France where there is a high demand for West African women to work in the sex trade, police said. However, detectives believe that he funnelled his wealth back to Nigeria and had no trappings of wealth at his home in Northfleet, Kent.

 Detective Inspector Eddie Fox said:

"Osolase led these girls to believe a better life awaited them in the UK, he preyed on vulnerable girls who had no one to care for them and would not be missed”. "Juju is a well established belief but Osolase corrupted it in a bid to gain control and bend the wills of his victims. He exploited the girls and took advantage of the fact they had nobody. They were scared, in an unfamiliar country and felt they had no other option but to do as they were told”.

Osolase was convicted on five counts of human trafficking, one count of molest and one count of sexual activity with a child. He was cleared of five other charges

61-year-old Brazilian Woman Gives Birth To Twins

Antônia Letícia Asti fulfilled her lifelong dream to become a mother--one week after her 61st birthday.

Talk about a birthday gift. According to the Brazilian news website G1, the woman gave birth to not one but two babies Tuesday night in Santos, a coastal city about an hour south of São Paulo. The births followed three unsuccessful in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures over the last ten years.

“I’m extremely happy. I fulfilled my dream of being a mother. Thank God and the doctor,” Asti told Brazilian news website G1. “It was a struggle, but thanks to God, I did it. Anyone who wants a victory needs to fight. I never for a moment thought about quitting. I always wanted to be a mother. We never had a lot of money, but we saved a lot to achieve our dream,”.

Before this final attempt, the office assistant and her 55-year-old husband, José César Asti, decided to look into adoption. The couple's attempt to adopt was rebuffed due to their age according the Spanish wire service Efe.

Asti’s obstetrician, Dr. Orlando de Castro Neto, has worked with the Brazilian couple since their first IVF attempt in 1992, when Asti was in her 50s.

"Antônia had preserved embryos from the first fertilization [attempt at IVF], but the embryos have a validity of 10 years, more or less, and they were reaching their end. She said she wanted to use them for a new attempt," Neto told Efe.

The twins, Sofia and Roberto, were delivered by caesarian section prematurely at 31 weeks due to the mother’s severe hypertension. The newborns weighed approximately 900 grams (nearly 2 pounds) and will remain in the hospital until they reach an ideal weight, Hospital Director Segundo Marco Antônio Antun told G1. Antônia remained in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for 40 hours after the birth to monitor her high blood pressure.

“I’m great. I am very well disposed to take care of them," Asti told G1 after leaving the ICU on Thursday. "I do not consider myself 61. I think my birthdate is wrong.”

Despite the risks and difficulties of becoming a mother at Asti’s age, her doctor also seems to think her birthdate is not an issue.

"The age didn't matter at all," Neto told Efe "The only condition is that a woman has a uterus.”

Suntai arrives in Nat’l Hospital, Abuja …he is in a stable condition, says Jonathan

Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, who was involved in a plane crash on Thursday, was moved to the National Hospital in Abuja for further medical attention on Friday.
 The governor and other survivors of the crash had earlier been admitted at a hospital in Yola, Adamawa State, where the crash occurred.
 Suntai arrived in an ambulance belonging to the State House Medical Centre with registration number SH 576 at about 2pm amid tight security.
 He was bandaged up and placed on a life support machine, complete with an oxygen mask and other gadgets, on arrival.
 President Goodluck Jonathan was among early callers who paid the injured governor a solidarity visit in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital on Friday.
 Jonathan arrived in the hospital at about 3.15 pm and was received by the Chief Medical Director, Prof. Bello Shehu.
 In a meeting with journalists after the visit, the President said Suntai’s condition was stable.
 He said, “First, I have to thank God for what happened. A plane crash is not something that you can just wave off.
 “We are quite happy that the governor is stable, I have seen him and I think the doctors are working very hard on him.
 “I believe that God willing, he will be well soon.”
 Shehu confirmed that the governor’s condition was stable.
 “Governor Suntai is very stable. We will continue to observe him for the first 24 hours. There is no need to perform any surgical operation on him. He is very stable. Given what happened, we are very satisfied with the situation at the moment,” he said.
 About 30 security personnel, comprising operatives of the State Security Service and policemen, were assigned to the hospital to guard the injured governor.
 The security men prevented journalists from getting close to the private ward in the ICU where the governor was being treated.
 Brandishing automatic weapons, the SSS operatives cordoned off the entrance to the ICU and threatened to cause physical harm to journalists if they dared to move close.
 But sources at the hospital said the governor had developed neurological disorder from the crash.
 Shedding light on neurological disorder, a neuro surgeon at the Cedarcrest Hospital in Abuja, Dr. Biodun Ogungbo, said, “Neuro trauma indicates mostly brain or spinal cord injury and it is often associated with lifetime morbidity, so early active management is crucial.
 “The initial care for patients with acute brain or acute traumatic lesions of the neck is of paramount importance. Neurologic function of the brain and cord levels can be adversely affected by excessive motion. Ideally, treatment should start at the site of trauma.
 “Safe and careful extrication, safe transportation and immobilisation in solid neck braces are crucial. Safe transportation is essential. These patients cannot and should not be moved without adequate protection and care.”
