Sandy leaves death, damp and darkness in wake

Sea water floods the Ground Zero construction site, Monday, Oct. 29, 2012, in New York. Sandy continued on its path Monday, as the storm forced the shutdown of mass transit, schools and financial markets, sending coastal residents fleeing, and threatening a dangerous mix of high winds and soaking rain.  

NEW YORK (AP) — As Superstorm Sandy marched slowly inland, millions along the East Coast awoke Tuesday without power or mass transit, with huge swaths of the nation's largest city unusually vacant and dark.

New York was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart in Lower Manhattan shuttered for a second day and seawater cascading into the still-gaping construction pit at the World Trade Center. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in the city and Long Island.

As the Bakassi Candles die...

By Nnamdi Okose

It was as if a silent wind lit candles everywhere. Cities, even those far from Bakassi were bursting with the anticipation. Bakassi must be saved! We must save our kinsmen from the clutches of the Cameroonians! The flickering lights from the lit candles are dying out now. The legendary collective amnesia of Nigerians is beginning to kick in. We are slowly forgetting that Bakassi both its area and its people allegedly belong to Nigeria.

I’ve just finished reading a book of the above title written by Prof. Roger Makanjuola, former vice-chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University,Ile-Ife. And after going through the book I realised that the title was in every way as curious and contrarian as the author is himself.

INSTALLING HUSBAND!!!  A woman writes to the IT Technical support.....  Dear Tech Support,  Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly underBoyfriend 5.0.  In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0, MONEY 3.0 and CRICKET 4.1.  Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.  Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?  Signed, _______ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _______ REPLY  DEAR Madam,  First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.  Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. Html and try to downloadTears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband1.0should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5..  However, remember, overuse of the above application can causeHusband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.  Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0(it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)  In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.  In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Good Looks 7.7.  Good Luck Madam.


Have a beautiful Sunday

African migrants found dead off Morocco coast

Spanish coast guard recovers 14 bodies and rescues 17 people, while search continues for as many as 70 more passengers.

Spain's maritime rescue service has found 14 bodies in the sea and rescued 17 people after a boat carrying migrants from Morocco began to sink in the

Mediterranean. Search operations are continuing because one of the migrants said about 70 people had been on the boat, a rescue official told the Associated Press on Friday. A coast guard plane spotted the boat on Thursday afternoon following a tip that it had left Morocco and was heading to Spain. Those on the boat are believed to be from sub-Saharan Africa. Each year thousands of suspected illegal immigrants from Africa try to reach Europe by setting sail in small, fragile boats.

The Allu Tragedy: Pitfalls Of Flawed Vigilante Justice By Andrew Obinna Onyearu

On Friday 5 October 2012, the Allu Community in Rivers State acquired for itself the dubious distinction in Nigeria’s history of playing host to one of the most brutal examples of butchery that this country has experienced. It is now common knowledge that some of the villagers killed 4 students of the University of Port Harcourt, allegedly for stealing phones and laptops from an off campus hostel of the institution.

The Bloods Of Chidiaka Llyod Tekenna & Ughonna Cries out For Justice.

The gruesome murder of four promising young men Chidiaka, Llyod, Tekenna and Ughonna 'my brothers' by Aalu indegenes in Port-Hacourt would for a long time not fade away.
I came across a lot of stories and comments about these young men by various people but not until I stumbled upon a long write-up from my 'patner in Crime' back in high school Kofoworola A.J. It was then I realized how far the story had gone and how agonizing it was for people to watch 3 mins of the most horrific scene ever without a movie director.
