I woke up this morning like every other boring morning in the village where I serve, dressed up, and went to the school. On arrival, all the students were gathered at one corner looking at me and the other Corp members, some with satisfaction, while others with pity.

On getting to the class rooms, we saw some write-ups directly warning me and other three (3) batch A Corp members. They wrote that we will be beaten black and blue. As I’m writing this report, four(4)  of us (batch A) and two (2) other batch C corps members are on the run, praying God to intervene in the issue.

5 tourist drowns at Bar Beach

No fewer than five persons have drowned at the Lagos Bar Beach, Lagos, Western Nigeria, in the last 12 days, says the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA.

One of them was an adult, who was reportedly washed away from the ocean Saturday evening, while in company of his friend, NEMA spokesman, Ibrahim Farinloye told P.M.NEWS.

Four picnickers were also washed away by the ocean on New Year’s day.

The identity of the man who drowned yesterday could not be ascertained, but Farinloye said the man was in company of other members of the Salallahu Ala Monla Nabiya group, a Muslim group that could have come on spiritual cleansing at the beach. The incident occurred around 4:45pm.

According to him, “an adult man in company of friends this evening (Sunday) was washed away in the sea by the Bar Beach. The man and his friends stayed far from the usual area where fun-seekers converged until one of them raised the alarm of the drowning of the man.”

Efforts to save the drowning man was said to have proved abortive as he was swept away by the raging ocean surge.

“Immediately, the beach rescuers made frantic efforts at saving the man but they could not rescue him. This incident has brought the number of those drowned at the Bar Beach to five in 12 days. Four people were drowned on the first of January and efforts to rescue them proved abortive till two days later when their remains were recovered,” Farinloye lamented.

The NEMA spokesman said it had become pertinent for the Lagos State Government to advise people along the coastlines that the effects of climate change are fully here, hence, the need to be safety conscious as people embarked on their various activities in the area.

According to the South West Zonal Command, NEMA, Alhaji Iyiola Akambe, there is need for safety consciousness as ocean tide is currently being experienced, the effect of which the Bar Beach is facing.

“When ice formations in the Polar regions of Canada, the USA and Europe melt and flow into the Atlantic Ocean, the effect is increase in the volume of water which leads to extensive ocean tide beyond the limit of the sea shore, thereby increasing the Continental shelf These are part of the cumulative effects of global warming,” he explained.

13 passengers burnt to death as fuel can explodes inside commuter bus

     Thirteen persons, including children, were on Sunday afternoon burnt beyond recognition in a bus accident which occurred in Effurun, Delta.

The accident, which involved an 18-seater bus, also left five of its passengers with various degrees of burn injuries.

An eyewitness told newsmen that the vehicle was coming  from the PTI roundabout, but stopped to pick a passenger who allegedly carried a jerrycan filled with petrol.
 
   One of the survivors, Mr Martins Nwaowolo, said there were 18 passengers in the bus, including children and a pregnant woman.

“The driver stopped at the roundabout to pick a woman carrying a jerrycan, and in less than two minutes after the woman entered the bus, the jerrycan burst into flame.

“Only myself, the driver, his conductor, a pregnant woman and one other survived the incident, but with various degree of burns”, he said.

However, the Delta Commissioner for Transport, Mr Ben Igbakpa, who visited the scene, said that it was wrong for people to be moving about with petrol.

Igbakpa, however, described the incident as unfortunate.

“It means that we have to do a lot of monitoring and public enlightenment on the hazards of carrying inflammable substances into a vehicle”, he said.

Meanwhile, men of the Nigerian Police, Army and Road Safety Corps were seen busy evacuating the victims from the burning bus. (NAN)

 She travelled all the way to Panama, in Central America, for the procedure. Her goal was to change her eye colour from dark brown to light brown, an operation that cost her £8,000.
  
 On arrival at the clinic, plans changed and she got blue implants instead, because the light brown implants were not available. During the procedure she screamed but the surgeon told her not to scream as it 'could cause things to go wrong'.
  
 But at the end of the 20 minute procedure, she realised she couldn’t see properly. It was as though she was looking underwater,but the surgeon told her not to worry insisting that for some patients it took up to 2 weeks for vision to return to normal. But by the time she returned to London her sight had deteriorated badly.
