Wife of the late Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State, Amina Yakowa, on Sunday shared her last moment with her husband.
Yakowa, former National Security Adviser, Andrew Azazi, and four
others died, when a chopper they were travelling in crashed in Bayelsa.
Speaking at the Eucharistic Mass at St. Patrick’s Chaplaincy,
Government House, Amina said as a couple, they usually hold a private
prayer every morning, before joining the daily mass at 6am.
She explained that in the morning of the incident, she could not join
her husband to pray as she was down with catarrh. She said the deceased
urged her to get well soon so she can join him in the thanksgiving
service of First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
The service scheduled to hold Sunday, December 16, (today), was however postponed indefinitely due to the crash.
The Archbishop of Kaduna, Matthew Ndagoso, described Yakowa as a man
who promoted peace and development in the state. He urged the new
Governor to carry on with his predecessor’s efforts at ensuring quality
governance
The Bishop also advised the family and people of the state to take heart and remain united.
On his part, Joseph Hayab, Yakowa’s Special Adviser on Christian
Affairs, said his boss was “an incorruptible, hardworking and dedicated
person.”

PHCN vandal electrocuted while trying to steal parts from a Transformer
The residents and visitors of Akanchawa Udenwa area of Owerri, Imo
state capital were yesterday shocked to see the body of a middle-aged
suspected vandal electrocuted while trying to steal from one of their
transformers
Although the residents couldn’t ascertain the number of vandals that came for the operation nor the exact time of the night they stormed the transformer, they had maintained they woke up to behold a lifeless body close to the transformer.
Further investigations also revealed that the suspected vandal wanted to take advantage of the periodic but prolonged power outage in the area to carry out his evil plan, but unluckily for him, power was suddenly restored to the facility.
Confirming the ugly and shameful incident, Mr. Ositadinma Ugwuafor, who doubles as a PHCN Senior Manager and Public Relation officer said it wasn’t the first time they had such case in that area but the second time a vandal was being electrocuted in action.
According to him, “In the instant case, the vandal had succeeded in cutting off the up-riser cable of the transformer, as well as the earth copper wire worth thousands of Naira. A long dagger and hack saw were recovered close to the lifeless body.”
The Officer also lamented that aside the problem of ageing facilities, another major headaches of PHCN was the constant vandalization of its facilities by criminals. He added that the death of the vandal had already thrown the area into more days of darkness.
“We are determined to serve the public, but we are continually faced with acts of vandalism. The inordinate ambition of some misguided elements in our society to get rich quick lures them to these damnable acts.”

At fifteen, she saw a doctor to see if he could figure out what was causing her abnormal growth. She saw several doctors before they were finally able to diagnose the cause, however, her family was unable to do anything about it because the surgery would cost 4000 yuan ($640 USD), which they did not have.

If u still remember him decades ago when he stormed the naija music industry with his ragea Music track 'Send down the Rain". Just recently he granted an interview with a reporter and this was what he had to say
"People must talk. But they make you popular; that's the truth. You cannot fight the press, you cannot fight the media. They are the ones that will tell people what is going on, so I cannot fight the media. They said I'm crazy, I use cocaine. Well I still use cocaine. I dey blow my nose, I dey smoke my igbo. As I speak to you, I have cocaine in my pocket and in my house. I still dey use am. I can't stop. How will you play music with a 'normal eye'?

The humans are looking up to you, so you must be super- human to live up to their expectations." Majek Fashek

Mark Zukerberg makes a profit of $3.5 billion in November
In just 1 month social networking site FACEBOOK made a profit of $3.5billion from shares sales in the month of november. Facebook's stock shot up from $21.08 a share on the first day of trading in November to $28 a share at the end of the day Friday, its highest price since July. Zuckerberg, who owns about 504 million shares of Facebook stock, gained about $3.48 billion as a result...
When Facebook first went public at $38 a share in May, Zuckerberg’s shares were worth $19.1 billion. In the following months, the stock dropped to less than half that IPO price to $17.55 in late August, pushing Zuckerberg’s net worth down to $8.84 billion.
Since then, Facebook’s stock has recovered in fits and starts and so has Zuckerberg’s wealth. November proved to be by far the most robust growth month for the stock to date, thanks to two big factors. First, the company had a strong earnings report in late October, which showed that Facebook was making progress in monetizing mobile. Secondly, the second and largest lockup period for stocks held by employees finally expired in the middle of November, which was something investors had been dreading for months and arguably held down the stock price.
As of last Friday, Zuckerberg’s net worth was $14.1 billion and will likely only continue to grow in December.

Police officer rapes Nursing Mother taking refuge in a police Station
The corporal is currently in trouble for raping a nursing mother, who had gone to the station to seek refuge.
It gathered that Mrs. Maureen Anyalebechi, from Umukabi Autonomous Community, in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area, Imo State, had, on November 10, 2012, gone to Umuguma Police Station to pass the night, when she could not locate the residence of her brother in the World Bank area of Owerri West Local Government Area.
Owing to the fact that it was late in the night, Mrs. Anyalebechi went to the police station with her seven-month-old baby, where she met Corporal Chigozie Odenigbo and another female police officer.
The victim told Saturday Sun: “When I discovered that it was late to continue searching for my brother’s place, I decided to go to the nearby police station, to beg them to accommodate me for the night because it was already late.
“As I went in there with my baby, I met two police officers, a lady and a young man, and after explaining my situation, the male officer asked me to follow him to one officer’s house, where he claimed mosquitoes would not bite my baby and I thanked him and followed him innocently, but to my greatest surprise, the policeman pounced on me. He hit me from behind and before I knew what was happening, he snatched my baby from me and flung him away. He was holding me by the throat to stop me from shouting for help and started raping me.”
She revealed that after the police officer had satisfied himself, he helped her to her feet and also picked up her baby and took her back to the police station. Mrs. Anyalebechi further narrated that when they came back to the police station, the female officer was alarmed when she saw that her clothes were torn and asked Corporal Odenigbo to explain what happened to her. The corporal, she said, denied ever doing anything to her.
Mrs. Anyalebechi said that she had to report the matter to the Divisional Police Officer, when he arrived for duty in the morning, who promptly ordered the arrest and detention of Corporal Odenigbo. She told Saturday Sun that to her surprise, the policeman was released. Sensing that the police wanted to cover up the crime, she had to contact a lawyer, who took her to the Imo State Police Commissioner, Bolanta Adisa, last Friday, who summoned the DPO of Umuguma Police Station.
Saturday Sun learnt that upon the confirmation of the rape assault on the nursing mother, CP Bolanta ordered the arrest of Corporal Odenigbo, promising that thorough investigation would be carried out.
He said that if found culpable, the policeman will be prosecuted and dismissed from the Force.
Meanwhile, the police spokesman, Mr. Vitalis Onugu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said that Corporal Odenigbo will face administrative trial.
It was also learnt that Corporal Odenigbo was alleged to have sexually assaulted a female officer some months back.

127 passengers escape death as Plane tire burst into flames
At least 127 passengers on board an aircraft narrowly escaped death in South Africa on Tuesday.
The chartered aircraft had to abort take-off when one of its wheels caught fire Tuesday at South Africa’s main O.R. Tambo international airport on Tuesday, an airport official said.
“Global Aviation which was en route to Lilongwe, Malawi aborted take-off because one of its tyres apparently got alight,” airport spokeswoman Unathi Batyashe- Fillis told AFP.
The fire was extinguished and no injuries were reported among the 120 passengers and seven crew.
The flight was scheduled to take off at 7:30am (0530 GMT) from the airport’s cargo section.
The spokeswoman was not immediately clear about the type of aircraft involved.

Nigeria rated second most corrupt in the world
Another heavy knock has come on Nigerian government as the newest
rating on corruption indicates that the acclaimed giant of the Africa
is the second most corrupt nation in the world.
The rating according to a Gallup poll shows that the rate of corruption in the country is getting out of hand.
Gallup, in its first-ever report on “Global States of Mind: New Metrics for World Leaders,” said 94 percent of Nigerians believe there is prevalent corruption in government.
The poll reveals that in the world, only Kenyans believe their government is more corrupt. About 96 percent of Kenyans said there is widespread corruption in their government while only five percent of Singaporeans said their government is corrupt.
Gallup said last year’s revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt where GDP was rising, shows that world leaders need more than just GDP and other traditional economic metrics to run their countries.
“Economic data are becoming less and less valuable because they tend to be outdated by the time they are made available. More significantly, GDP is less valuable because leaders now need to know much more than what people are spending—they need to know what they are thinking; GDP isn’t enough if you are watching for instability,” said Jim Clifton, Gallup Chairman and CEO.

Woman cuts off Rapist Manhood
A 40-year-old woman, from Bangladesh with name Monju Begum, has reportedly cut off
the penis of a man who was allegedly trying to rape her, and then took
it to police as evidence.
According to police, Mozammel Haq Mazi, the suspect, whohappen to be the woman's neighbor, forced his way into her shanty and began sexually assaulting her. Investigators say Begum stopped the attack by cutting off his penis. She then placed the evidence into a polythene bag and took it into police as proof that Mazi had attempted to rape her.
Begum, a married mother of three, told the police that Mazi had been harassing her for the past six months. He is reportedly also married and has five children.
Police spokesperson, Abul Khaer, said “It is quite an unusual incident. As far as I am aware, this is the first time that a woman has brought a severed penis to the police station as evidence… We will arrest him once his condition gets better,” said Khaer.
Meanwhile, Mazi denied the allegations, telling investigators that the two were having an affair. In Mazi’s words “Recently she suggested that both of us can go settle down in Dhaka… I refused and told her that I cannot leave my wife and children, so she took revenge on me.” Doctors say the man’s pénis will not be re-attached.

Poisoned pork meat leaves 6 dead in Enugu after funeral ceremony
Reports from Ede-Oballa, says more than 60 guests developed
severe stomach problems after the funereal ceremony, prompting their
immediate hospitalization. Investigation by Sunday Sun showed that all
the popular hospitals in the university town of Nsukka including the
Catholic Mission- owned Bishop Shanahan have been flooded with the
victims who were said to be in critical conditions. A woman was said to
be the first casualty of the meat poisoning followed by three girls
while it was feared that two others who are not natives of the
community also died.
It was gathered that a pig farmer who sold the infected animal to a woman (name withheld) who hosted the funeral, was in police net. Hospital sources expressed apprehension over the survival of the victims, saying they ought to have been rushed to the hospital same night. “In a situation like this, victims should be rushed to the hospital promptly for early stomach wash”, said a hospital source. The source however said frantic efforts are being made to save the lives of the victims Another reliable source suspected that guests at the funeral might have been served the meat of a dead pig injected by a veterinary doctor.
The source said the owner of the pig (name withheld) had lied to the woman that the pig fell into a ditch. Apparently due to the intimidating size of the pig and its relative cheapness, the woman quickly entered a bargain and bought the meat not knowing it was sick and had been treated recently by a veterinary doctor who also advised that in the event of its death, the animal should be buried. A source quoted the doctor who has been quizzed by the police as saying that he advised the pig farmer to bury the animal if it died within three weeks of the injection.
The tragic incident has caused tension in Nsukka zone where pigs are used at funeral ceremonies as an imperative and status symbol. It was gathered that since the incident, guests at burial ceremonies in the area have been avoiding pork. This has created problems for pig farmers who have lost patronage due to the tragedy.
Our reporter could not reach the veterinary doctor at the time of filing this report. A senior police officer attached to the Nsukka Urban Police Command said that some of the guests and the pig farmer were helping the police in their investigation.

Bus Driver dies in collapsed pit latrine
Tragedy befell the residents of No 7 Alimotu Sadia street, Cele,
Lagos when one of the occupants of the house, Mr. Mutiu Owo fell inside
a pit latrine and died yesterday morning
The deceased was a commercial bus driver plying Ikeja-Obalende route, Lagos State.
Narrating the incident, his neighbour Prophet Soji Ademuyiwa of Celestial Church Ogudu Parish, Lagos said the driver, an indigene of Ekiti State, fell inside the pit latrine in an attempt to ease himself in the early hours of yesterday morning. The driver was said to have sank because of the heavy rainfall at that time.
The prophet said the driver who was a father of two, wanted to take his bath but when he found out that a co-tenant was bathing, he went to ease himself in another toilet, which was dilapidated.
The tenants of the house where the incident occurred claimed that they had complained about the life threatening state of their house and latrine to their landlady, who lives outside the neighbourhood but all pressure to make her fix it and make it habitable was met with brick walls as she kept postponing the repairs.
It was also gathered that the condition of the toilet worsened this morning after the heavy rain.
The house of Owoh was besieged by neighbours and sympathisers, as they troop in to console the widowed wife, who sells fruits at Alade Market, Ikeja Lagos, while the remains of the driver has been removed from the latrine
