FROM A MEMBER
HE WROTE

Good morning. God will continue to bless you for the good work you are doing in this group. Please I have a problem. There is this girl I've dated, I trusted her, love her with all my heart , infact was planning to settle down with her. Not knowing that I was just standing alone.. she had been cheating with another guy, it reach to an extent she swore to the guy that she has nothing to do with me. She began to have affairs with married men just to get money, not that she's not working ooh. And I noticed, I complained, but her excused was that I don't have money to take care of her, infact that am poor. Mind you I do meet her needs but not all.. so after all this I moved on and restarted everything afresh . When she noticed that now things are going well with my finances, she's now putting pressure that she's sorry for what happened, she wants to marry me, she loves me and can't do without me. Please I want the house to advice m on want to do. Should I give him e her another chance or I stand my ground? I've seen alot of red flags , but she always promise to change... Pls no insults , matured minds...sorry for the long post and the bad grammar. English no be my made ooh.

The face of the young boy who falsely accused as pastor/lecturer today in Makurdi.

He is begging for forgiveness now, but I think he should be taught a bitter lesson.

He almost got a breadwinner killed today.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE

Last Night at about 10:00pm I went to Mini Market in South Core to eat with a friend and l had an experience that I feel would be instructive to many Students and members of the Public.

I sat down at Chilling Point Restaurant in South Core to eat and a young man assumably a student walked in and greeted me in the pidgin Ascent "Big Man How far,"? and extended a handshake, I gently responded back to him I'm fine Brother, trust you're good while receiving the handshake.

He left and sat behind me, while I also focused on my food and conversation.
I didn't take notice of when the young man walked out of the restaurant but minutes later he returned and asked to talk to me outside. I excused my friend and followed him.
My quick assumption as I followed him outside was that he was likely stranded after eating and needed my assistance.

While we walked out he tried taking me to a dark corner and I politely declined. As l asked him what's wrong he bluntly told me that after shaking me he has noticed that his Manhood is missing, and could no longer feel it.

Wow! I asked him to follow me back inside and sat him down on the same table with my friend, I asked him his name, college and department if he was a student, he answered and said he was a 400l Student and I enquired if he knew me. He Claimed he didn't and I asked him to go and report to the manager.

I had no cause to panic but he returned back to me harrasingly demanding for my ID card and snapping me at the same time.
At this point I removed my phone and invited the O/c operation who swiftly arrived at the scene with his team and saved me from his team of waiting mob ready to devour me
As you could guess, it was a false alarm to harm or defraud me. The issue is currently awaiting security resolutions.

I've taken time to report it here because many students are already calling me to ascertain what happened. We're now at a time you should be conscious of even your handshake for safety sake.

Thanks
Zaki, A Christian

Police Arrest Prime Suspect in the Culpable Homicide of FUT Minna Lecturer, Dr. Mrs. Funmilola Adefolalu

In a tragic turn of events, a shocking incident of culpable homicide involving Dr. Mrs. Funmilola Adefolalu, a lecturer at the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, unfolded on the 29th of October, 2023. Friends and church members of the deceased made a harrowing discovery at her residence in the Gbaiko Area of Minna.

Dr. Funmilola's absence and the inability to reach her by phone raised concerns among her visitors. Upon their arrival at her residence, they were met with a gruesome sight. Dr. Funmilola Adefolalu lay lifeless in a pool of blood, bearing visible injuries on her body.

In response, the police dispatched operatives from the Bosso Division to investigate the situation. The grim discovery at the crime scene included two knives with bloodstains, suspected to be the weapons used in the attack. Dr. Adefolalu's remains were transferred to IBB Hospital in Minna, where she was officially pronounced deceased.

The police swung into immediate action, conducting interviews with neighbors and friends of the family to gather information. Their diligent efforts bore fruit, leading to a significant breakthrough in the case. On the 30th of October, 2023, the police arrested Joy Afekafe, a 14-year-old housemaid hailing from Gbeganu, Minna.

During the interrogation, the suspect made a chilling confession. She revealed that she had worked as Dr. Funmilola Adefolalu's housemaid for approximately three weeks but was terminated from her position due to misconduct. Following her dismissal, Joy Afekafe sought help from her classmates, identified as Walex and Smart.

Together, they conspired to attack the lecturer at her residence. On the 28th of October, 2023, at around 4:00 p.m., they approached the house on a motorcycle. Joy Afekafe arrived at the gate, gaining entrance after Dr. Adefolalu opened it. Subsequently, Walex and Smart entered the residence.

In a brutal and fatal assault, they subjected the lecturer to physical harm. They used a stool to strike her head and inflicted multiple stab wounds with knives. The attackers also made off with the deceased's phone and laptop. Notably, they removed the vehicle's battery before fleeing the scene.

The prime suspect, Joy Afekafe, will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation and due prosecution. The police are currently intensifying their efforts to apprehend the remaining suspects who remain at large.

Ex-Benue LG Boss Erukaa Dies In Kidnappers’ Custody

The kidnapped octogenarian and pioneer Ukum Local Government Area chairman in 1981 Raymond Erukaa has died in captivity after he was kidnapped from his home at Tse-Erukaa, in Zaki Biam, on the 23rd of September 2023.

Confirming the sad passing of the 81-year-old elder state man, the eldest surviving son of the deceased Charles Erukaa, a former news anchor with Channels Television said the family got wind of his passing on the 27th of October, 2023.

Narrating the harrowing experience of his late father’s ordeal in the hands of the kidnappers and the subsequent hostage-taking of his cousin Ben Jones Iorbee Erukaa who delivered the first one million naira ransom by the kidnappers, Charles lamented how his father was held till his death by the kidnappers after thirty-four days for someone his age.

He noted that the kidnappers first demanded N12m in their first contact with the family and later reduced it to N10m. But soon came down to N5m and when his cousin Iorbee Erukaa went with the first one million naira ransom, he was held hostage along with his father, the late Raymond Washima Erukaa until an additional one million naira was paid bringing the total sum to two million naira, with a promise to release both men, only for his cousin Iorbee to be released alone.

“It wasn’t until the night of Saturday, October 27th, 2023 that we received words that my father had died in captivity,” he said.

“In total, the family paid a ransom of Two million Naira for the release of my father from captivity, it also noted worthy that my father was abducted exactly twenty-four hours before the abduction of the Benue State commissioner for information and culture Mister Matthew Abo who was also kidnapped in Ukum local government area of the state.”

At the time of filing this report, Charles Erukaa said the family is still investigating the general area with a view to recovering his body four days after news of his death was received, hoping to give their late father a befitting burial.

Meanwhile, the police in Benue State are yet to issue any statement confirming the death.

The Benue State Government which issued a statement when Erukaa was kidnapped thirty-seven days ago has also not commented on the matter.

One son took over the affairs of his father’s church after his father’s demise.

The world: the church is business, it is now family affair. In fact succession is now like property that can be inherited

Another son decides to obey Gods leading to leave his fathers church that is very successful to start a fresh work.

People of the World: Ah! It is money that is calling him. He is not getting enough money that’s why he wants to open his own church.

If you listen to what people say about you and your assignment you will definitely not fulfill Gods purpose for your life.

Mute their voices
And face your assignment

AVOID USING A TERM LIKE "COUSIN BROTHER"

I hear people use the term "cousin brother" like: "Meet my cousin brother, Paul". That is so wrong. One person cannot be both your cousin and your brother. What makes a person your cousin is completely different from what makes a person your brother. It is thus impossible for one person to be both your cousin and your brother.

Take note, please.

Friday, October 20th, 2023.

The Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has condemned the armed robbery attacks on some commercial banks in Otukpo town.

The Governor sympathizes with the families of those who were gruesomely murdered by the robbers during the robbery.

Multiple Bank Robbery Operations Leaves Otukpo Traumatized

It is indeed a black Friday in Otukpo as Zenith Bank , First Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Stanbic IBTC Bank were robbed at about 3:30PM on Friday.

Benue Reporters gathered that the robbers who came in with a Toyota Space bus and a Toyota Hilux van ran a simultaneous heist starting from Zenith Bank, and reaching to the other banks within Otukpo town and followed by sporadic shootings and multiple explosions believed to be dynamite which was used to blow up the banks' electronic doors and granting them assess into the banking halls.

Eye witnesses say that many civilians who were carrying out transactions at the bank were either killed and others sustaining various degrees of injuries.

Death toll stands at about 8 civilians and 3 police officers who engaged the criminals at a very close range due to the proximity of the police station to the banks.

The robbers were said to have been chased by the men of the Nigerian Army and gunned down two of them along old Makurdi road.

Our correspondent who took a tour to the banks reports that the damage at the banks are quite enormous and would have a negative economic impact.

We're Not Beggars, Ogun CDA Chairman Slams Abiodun Over Bag Of Rice Palliative

A man who claims to be the chairman of Shokeye Community Development Area in Ogun State has slammed Governor Dapo Abiodun over the distribution of palliatives in the state.

In a video now trending on social media, he is seen with a branded bag palliative, which, according to him, contains rice for 147 households in Shokeye Estate.

He said, "I was just at home when they brought this for me as palliative for the whole of Shokeye Estate. In this estate, we have 147 houses with families and tenants.

"I'm confused now; I don't know how to share this with 147 households in Shokeye Estate.

"I'm talking to Dapo Abiodun now; if you people know that you cannot do something, then don't do it.

"We are not hungry; we are not beggars. So we don't need your rice as palliative. This is not even up to one-eight of a bag of rice.

"We don't need this rice; if you want to give us palliatives, don't insult us. This is an insult. Shokeye Estate refuses to be insulted."

This is the Shoebill Stork, doesn't attack humans, all they do is stare at you. This prehistoric bird lives in tropical East Africa.

The demand for this bird is so high. Just one can fetch you about $12k or up to $20k.

The only place where they can be found in Nigeria wild is the extreme end of Borno State (Abadam and Kukawa Local government s) where they boader Chad.

They often decapitate their prey, before consuming it whole. Yes, the end of their beak is razor sharp. I mean, these guys hunt baby crocodiles.

And on staring at you, they're not. It's their instinct. They often stands still for long periods, motionless like a statue, before launching a vicious attack to kill any prey that come within strike distance. They don't attack humans though. They may be waiting for a prey while you think it's you they're looking at. Waka pass make bird see prey chop abeg.
