Kidnapping: Rachel's Orphanage Home

-

News making round is on the abduction of some children in the Rachel's Home, an orphanage in the Naharati area of Abuja. That's very disturbing.


More disturbing is the fact that the gunmen had gone ahead to demand for ransom for the release of these kids!


It's been reported too how the kidnappers, on their demand, were asked if indeed they knew those kids were "orphans". As though they never knew.


But to highlight their callousness, they affirmed of how they knew and how they do not care but the money or the kids are wasted. Such insensitivity is very disheartening!


The government must do everything to ensure the release of these children and the other kidnapped couple, and prove how shameless this act of brigandage could be.


The abductors, very senseless and irresponsible ones indeed, must be brought to book.

The Candidates: Let Kadaria Ahmed Be

-
The anchor of the town hall programme for Presidential candidates in the forthcoming 2019 general elections, The Candidates, Kadaria Ahmed has for sometime now since her latest engagement with the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP being in the eye of the storm. And the question is why? And how appropriate? For some people, especially those sympathetic to candidates of the PDP, her questions to their candidates were different from and more scathing than those asked the candidates of the rival Ill, so Progressives Congress, APC. To those so untowardly bothered by this view, I ask should Kadaria have been seen to ask Atiku and Obi the selfsame questions she asked Buhari and Osibanjo, and possibly in the same way?  To this people, aside failing to understand that Kadaria Ahmed, being the anchor of the programme reserves the prerogative right to ask questions of her choice, also and more pathetic, failed to understand that there is no way coming from different bac...

IWA-AKWA: The Moment Of Manhood!

There's a particular attachment for which a community, a society is known, that with which they are distinguished and for which they could be easily identified with. This is the people's way of life, it's their tradition and hence their culture! For some people, their culture had formed a better part of their lives through the process of committed deep instilling that has built in them a conviction as to believe and as well transmit along their respective genealogy of how such is an integral part of their lives and for which they should hold dear. The huge respect accorded some cultures as  significant elements of heritage has made them proud possession assiduously passed from one generation unto the next, strictly retaining their tastes along the ages, inspite of the dynamism and susceptibility of culture to time. This is quite said of the Iwa-akwa (cloth-wearing) celebration, an important cultural identity of some communities in Igboland, Southeast Nigeria, undertaken lar...

Two Die, Mosque Razed As Igbo, Hausa Clash In Enugu

-
Two people were said to have lost their lives on Wednesday, December 28, following a fight between an Igbo man and a Hausa man in the Gariki axis of Enugu. The incident which was alleged to have happened after a disagreement between one Ifeanyi and one Ali led to the later stabbing the former severally in the stomach after his victim insisted that he must pay N500 complete for using the abattoirs. Mr Ali, a meat seller, had come to the abattoirs inside Gariki to slaughter his cow. And as was custom there, he was expected to pay N500 but when Ifeanyi demanded for the said money, he was said to have given him N400. However, Ifeanyi insisted that the pay be completed to which Ali was alleged to have strongly refused. A fight ensued and at that point Ali brought his dagger and stabbed Ifeanyi severally on the stomach. Ifeanyi was said to have died on the spot. Angered by this, some mob descended on the Hausa man and lynched him and immediately rushed to the mosque in the vicinity ...
