The Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called on attendees of the United Nation’s World Humanitarian day last week to rethink the refugee crisis.
“Nobody is ever just a refugee,” said the novelist and non-fiction writer, delivering the keynote address at the event in New York. “Nobody is ever just a single thing. And yet, in the public discourse today, we often speak of people as a single a thing. Refugee. Immigrant.”
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to more than a quarter of the world’s refugee population, about 18 million people fleeing conflict in the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Somalia and other places.

Adiche, the author of Americanah and several other books, has a personal connection to migration. Her parents were displaced during the Nigeria-Biafra war and lived as refugees for three years. She called for a new way of talking about those in need:
In my language, Igbo, the word for ‘love’ is ‘ifunanya’ and its literal translation is, ‘to see.’ So I would like to suggest today that this is a time for a new narrative, a narrative in which we truly see those about whom we speak.
Let us tell a different story. Let us remember that the movement of human beings on earth is not new. Human history is a history of movement and mingling. Let us remember that we are not just bones and flesh. We are emotional beings. We all share a desire to be valued, a desire to matter. Let us remember that dignity is as important as food.

una never tire............... SCAMMERS

Good morning my beloved brethren, I've been in touch with the happenings in Talata Mafara and I want to testify that God will always leave a sign behind (depending on the context) to encourage His people.

It was a Muslim student who went to a NIFES brother to ask questions about Christianity that turned the discourse into what happened. That was Sunday night. He was left for dead but a veteran NIFES associate rescued him while another Muslim helped them to the hospital with his car. By Monday, a mob went for the lives of these two lecturers and the hospitalized brother. Thank God that before Monday morning the Christian students had mobilized and left danger zones. In frustration the mob went for everywhere Christians meet on campus. They also went to the residence of the Muslim lecturer who helped but he also had relocated his family. So, they set his house ablaze.

Now, here's the twist. Some of the Muslim's entered the lecturer's house to loot without the knowledge of others. So, they got burnt in the building. The burnt bodies are those of those looters.

As at this morning there's no indication of any death among the Christians students. The young man with machete cuts is that of the NIFES student. But, he has been relocated to another hospital because they are still searching for him and the two lecturers.

Let's continue our prayers for their safety.

From E****S**

ENCOURAGE OUR BROTHER

I don't know if someone also noticed what I observed..
THEY LOOK VERY MUCH LIKE "GAYS"

More reason why I don give beggars a dime. Even if blood is gushing from any part of your body, I don't care.

These "so called" NGOs do contract those Physically Challenged Persons and use them to make money, at the end of the day, they will discharge the person with the percentage of the money agreed to give him/her or even the parents. This has been a source of livelihood for some people for a very long time.

Just a tip of an Iceberg!

God Bless Mothers. I LOVE MY MOTHER......... #Mama_Oyoyo

By Abdulwahab Abdulah The incoming Second National Vice President of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, Mr. Monday Ubani, yesterday, said that no offence is committed by someone naming his dog after somebody else. He said: “In the eye of the law, it is not criminal for somebody to name his or her dog after another person. It may be offensive by examining the circumstances under which the incident happened. “I understand that a particular dog was named after a neighbour and both of them were not in good terms; in a Hausa community somewhere in the South-West. “So expediency would have prevailed on him not to name his dog after somebody he was quarrelling with. “The Bible says wisdom profited for direction. Anything you are doing must be with wisdom. If such a thing would provoke unnecessary argument, you should avoid it.” Another Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Tunji Muyedeen, said: “As far as I am concerned, there is no way such offence could be sustained in law. Anybody can name his pet after anybody’s name. “He can even call the pet his name. However, spurious charge or charges may be preferred against such person. “All of us will be living witnesses to the trial of the man. We will see what evidence the prosecution has to prosecute the accused person.” For human rights activist, Mr. Okey Nwaguna, prosecution must show that accused had the intent to cause breach of public peace. He said: “The motive of an accused is never and can never be established by the charge: it must be established by evidence. “Prosecution must show that accused had the intent to cause a breach of public peace. What constitutes ‘public’ is key.”

The renowned businessman and Managing Director of tiger foods limited, producers of Tiger foods curry, nutmeg, cubes etc engages in full time Agriculture in his country home, Akokwa in ideato-North LGA, Imo state.

He wrote on his facebook timeline:

"With 14 labourers we'v managed to plant about 1500 Ehuru
trees, three thousand Plantain and three thousand Banana
on about 18 acres this year. Next year, we plan to match
what we'v been able to achieve this season and also add
Uziza Seed farming and other spices. We also have plans for
livestock farming which is been delayed by the present
economic downturn. We will certainly capitalize on the
abundance of Rafter Palm (Ngwó) trees in the swamps of my
village to produce liquor. Rain threat didn't allow me to get
better pictures.

I'v visited many Farms in farming countries like Egypt,
Ethiopia, India, Ivory Coast and Morroco to know what we
are missing in neglecting farming. If just 10% of the interest
Igbo invests in trading is channeled to farming we will have
sufficient resources to develops better. Presently 90% of our
fertile land is begging for proper attention. As I write this,
the MD of Tiger Foods is in the Middle Belt negotiating with
their farming communities to grow crops that can be grown
down here simply because they have the skills and
developed grounds to do this at short notice"

More Grace To Him!!!

They can never try to escape. As you see them there na money dem dey make for those warders. If dem passers by money finish, they will share with the warder in charge.

The Police in Ogun State, yesterday, released
unconditionally, the 30-year-old trader, Joe Fortemose
Chinakwe, who was arrested last Saturday for naming his
pet dog ‘Buhari’.

The embattled trader, who was
visibly angry after his three-day
incarceration in police cell, was let
off the hook around 5pm on
Tuesday after the intervention of
both the Serkin Hausa and
President-General of non-
indigenes in the state.
It was learned that the prompt
intervention of the elders made
the complainant to withdraw the
case he reported against the
trader at Sango-Ota division which
was later transferred to Police
headquarters at Eleweran.

However, police sources said both the complainant and suspect were made to sign an undertaking not to cause any breach of peace again.
Speaking to Vanguard after this release, the trader, a
father of two from the Niger Delta, who trades on second
hand clothing lamented that he was made to suffer for
no just cause.
Complainant from Niger Republic
Narrating his ordeal, Chinakwe said “It is annoying
because the complainant is from Niger Republic and I
am sure he is one of those illegal aliens in this country.
He connived with one Police Sergeant from the Northern
part of Nigeria called Musa, who works at Sango Police
division to humiliate me. Worse still, the Divisional
Police Officer there, did not help matters as he refused
to entertain any plea from me after I was arrested that
Saturday night. He simply ordered his men to throw me
into the cell.”
Why dog was named Buhari
Continuing, he said “I did not commit any offence. I
named my beloved pet dog Buhari, who is my hero. My
admiration for Buhari started far back when he was a
military Head of State. It continued till date that he is a
civilian President. After reading his dogged fight against
corruption, which is like a canker worm eating into the
very existence of this country, I solely decided to rename
my beloved dog which I called Buhari, after him. I did
not know that I was committing an offence for admiring
Buhari.
Ordeal with Police
“I was intimidated and thrown inside the cell with
hardened criminals for about three days. While I was
there, the complainant from Niger Republic and Sergeant
Musa from the North kept on taunting me saying people
from my part of the country are trouble makers and that
after detaining me, they will throw me into prison where
I will die unsung.
''Even when my wife came with our baby on her back,
they stopped her from giving me food. One of my
friends that came to see me was also maltreated.
“While taking me to Eleweran the next day, they
handcuffed and chained me together with that my friend.
Fortunately, when we got to police headquarters, both
the Commissioner of Police and other officers were
angry with their colleagues at Sango-Ota.
''They were wondering loudly why I was brought to the
headquarters over such a minor case. It’s very
unfortunate that I have to be so humiliated in my own
country because of the antics of a foreigner in
connivance with my brother from the North.”

Two NTV Uganda employees have been fired for gross
misconduct and questionable moral behaviour after
they were allegedly photographed having sekx while
on duty.
Anne Nakawombe, the host of NTV Login and Kevin
Kaija have been fired from the Ugandan station for
gross misconduct after photos of them having sekx in
the office were leaked.

Nakawombe has been presenting ‘Login’, an entertainment show and has been doing the programme for more than a year now after succeeding Robin Kisti who flew out of the Uganda to the United States.

Kevin, on the other hand, has been a presenter of ‘Seeds of Gold’ which is a farming programme.



The statement by NTV also said:

“Anne has been the presenter of Login while Kevin worked on the Seeds of Gold program as a producer. These employees were found to be in breach of the NTV Employee Code of Conduct as stipulated in their terms of employment,

“At NTV, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of values and integrity in the work place to ensure that we are a trusted and credible source of information and entertainment. We do not condone unethical or questionable moral character,” read the statement.



Later on, NTVU MD released another statement denying the incident. It read:

“Hi Team, am sure you have all seen some uncouth images of n#de people allegedly NTV staff. Please note that the images/videos were of an old MUK lecturer and a student released in May and have now bounced back as former NTV staff that were fired.
This is the usual social media we hshe to deal with many a times. The duo sacked for falsifying Mulago documents are both ladies and not a guy and chic for the record. Please clarify the same should pwould share the same nudes with You. Thanks.”

– Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, tells President Buhari to stop acting as a military man – Oba Akiolu says Nigeria’s economy woes is not totally the fault of former president Goodluck Jonathan – He says he and Jonathan are good friends Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against approaching governance as a military man. According to Oba Akiolu, Buhari should realize that he is no longer a military man and be civil in his approach, The Punch reports. Oba Akiolu made this known in Lagos on Monday, August 15, during the unveiling of SunTrust Bank Limited, the first commercial bank to be licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria in 15 years. His remark comes even as he noted that former president Goodluck Jonathan could not be totally blamed for the nation’s current economic crisis. However, Oba Akiolu sought support for President Buhari and expressed confidence in the Federal Government’s Economic Management Team led by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to salvage the economy. Akiolu said: “All of us just have to support the President and I advise him to know that he is no more a military man. I am not afraid to say that. The measures they are taking on the rot of the past, honestly whether they like it or not, it was not totally the fault of former President Goodluck Jonathan. I don’t hide the fact that he (Jonathan) is my personal friend. All that happened was not totally his fault “But it is not too late to make amend. With Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as head of economic team, with people like Mrs. Nike Akande as the President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry and others, they (the federal government) should listen to advice from people in commercial sector of the economy.” Other dignitaries present at the unveiling include; the president of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote; chairman of Forte Oil, Femi Otedola; andcChairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Danjuma Goje. Dangote, who was a special guest of honour at the event, described as a bold move the decision by the Board of Directors and management of SunTrust Bank to open a new bank at a time the global banking industry and major economies were facing serious challenges. He said: “These investments of ours are meant to open the entire economy, not just in Nigeria but the entire Africa. We also believe that this investment by SunTrust Bank will attract good rewards in the years to come. “SunTrust Bank has a good business model that is based on financial technology, often regarded as FinTech. With their focus on FinTech, customers can transact business with them without leaving their homes.” According to Dangote, the SunTrust Bank’s model will attract millions into the financial system, noting that only 15% of the country’s adult population is currently in the banking system. While unveiling SunTrust Bank, Dangote said: “This is a very bold move; ladies and gentlemen, I present to you tomorrow’s bank today.” Meanwhile, Oba Akiolu has said that more oil deposits are still going to be discovered in Lagos state, which will lead to constructions of more refineries in the state. According to him, Nigerians have not seen anything in terms of development, and that a lot of developmental projects are going to be embarked on during the tenure of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. The monarch said that the refinery being built by the Dangote Group in Lagos was just the beginning of many great things to come during his reign.
