Photos: Fatal Accident Occur At Abuja This Morning

Fatal Accident Occur At Abuja
It’s been brought to my notice that there was a very terrible accident which occurred at Nicon Junction in Abuja this morning.
A trailer was alleged to have lost it’s brakes while on motion and crashed into a car killing its passenger and also a passerby. Thankfully, some good pedestrians came to the rescue of injured victims before the Federal Road Safety came to the scene.
RIP to those who lost their lives.
See more photos from the scene below:

11 MONTH OLD BABY BRUTALIZED BY PARENTS OVER ALLEGATION OF WITCHCRAFT












SMH..na wa for naija
A little baby of just 11 months escaped death from the parent’s hands recently, this boy has brutalized over witchcraft allegation that he was behind their misfortunes.
This happened in Cross River State, the parents, Alvan and Ugonwa Orji, residing in Cross River State, are now in police detention .
They were in the habit of physically and emotionally assaulting their son constantly, giving him inhuman treatments such as tying him to a chair, using electric cable on him and consistently yelling at the boy.
The complainant, Barr. James Ibor, the Principal Counsel of Basic Rights Council Initiative (BRCI), said neighbors also confirmed that the child’s father batters his only child with his belt and electric cable regularly.
Alvan confessed to inflicting injuries on his child but claimed he did so because the baby is possessed with 'Ogbanje' (Marine) spirit..... if this report should get to heaven, many unborn children won't be willing to come to Nigeria again.

Soon-to-be Wedded Couples! Find Out Why You Need A Wedding Gift Registry

Gift Registry is a compiled selection of gifts at a designated location that the recipient would like- a sort of wish list. They are used for various occasions but weddings by far serve as the most favoured instance in which they are used. The uptake of the concept in the Nigerian context has been relatively slow, however there are a selection of retailers such as Home Royale, a design-led home ware retailer who offer a Gift Registry service.

The gifting culture is unfortunately being relegated to a thing of the past. My favourite argument is: ‘I bought your aso-ebi, must I buy you a gift in addition?’ However for those who still believe in gifting, the argument as to how ‘appropriate’ or ‘effective’ the concept of a Gift Registry within our cultural context is a long-standing one.

I‘ve Revealed To Goodluck Jonathan Those Who Sponsor Boko Haram – Guru Maharaj Ji

Recently, Guru Maharaj Ji declared that both sponsors of the group and those behind the April 14 bombing at Nyanya Park in Abuja that claimed scores of lives would face repercussions of their action before the end of October.
He also revealed during an interview with a reporter of Daily Independent: “I had told President Goodluck Jonathan those behind these nest of killers (Boko Haram) through several publications.”
He named some former military rulers, a former vice president, and some leaders in the North as financiers of the group.
“I have asked the President to arrest them before now because they said after the 2011 general elections that because power did not return to the North, they would make the nation ungovernable.
“The spirit of the creator is against them. They are going to be dealt with. I will call them to order in the interest of innocent Nigerians, enough of the bloodletting. If President Jonathan had listened to the advice I gave him two years ago when I was at Aso Rock, all the killings by Boko Haram would have stopped. After my visit to the villa, the bombings stopped but because those in government did not continue to tap from my spiritual grace, the bombers returned.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us. As Living Perfect Master, I cannot be here and all these continue. I am challenging the Northern leaders to an open debate in a national television. Let them swear by the name of the Creator and all the seven elements of the earth that their actions were not the direct reflection of Boko Haram onslaught.”
It will be recalled that earlier this year, the spiritual leader said that it is uncalled for a woman to vie for top political positions.

Muhammadu BuhariThe Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Maj.-Gen.

According to him, the PDP was only using religion, which he described as a “matter of personal conviction”, to divide the country.
Buhari, who spoke through his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at an inter-faith engagement in Kaduna on Wednesday, said, “And they have succeeded in making some of us victims of the tales, which they invent, propagate and sell as the gospel truth to gullible listeners; while it is all nothing but tissues of lies”.
The former head of state noted that in spite of what detractors had said and still saying, he was not a religious fanatic of any sort “and I have never been”, he stressed.
