22-year-old man commits suicide in Anambra
A 22-year-old man, Chika Alex-Chukwuezie has committed suicide in Ubaekwem community in Ihiala Local government area of Anambra state.

The deceased, of Umuanasa clan, reportedly hung on a family mango tree for yet to be ascertained reason.

The Nation gathered that the deceased until his death was an active youth in the Umuezekwe political ward of Ihiala LGA.

A family member who preferred anonymity said the act might not be unconnected to spiritual liberation defect, due to the reoccurring suicide incidents that plague the family.

He said, “He was a single unemployed young man who had completed his SSS exams, with the hope to excel in business after schooling.

“One of his uncles also committed suicide at youthful age decades ago.

“The family had to subject itself to spiritual cleansing to avert recurrence of the unfortunate incident.”

The Nation further learnt that the body of the deceased has been thrown into the thick forest according to Igbo traditional rights.

“Efforts are ongoing to bring in traditionalists who will cutoff the orange tree and sanctify the compound,” a source added.

Police Public Relation officer in the state, Harunna Muhammed, confirmed the incident.

He said investigation was on to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident.

BALLOT BOX

Nigeria is a country where corruption is the order of the day. There has never been any election that has been conducted free and fairly. In all general elections conducted so far, election Ballot papers are always snatch by political thugs. Since many days for the  thief and and one day for the owner the President has now given the command to the military to shot anyone found snatching ballot papers in the upcoming presidential general election come 23 of February 2019.

ARMY: We can't disobey the president order.

Citing Court of Appeal judgment banning military from election duties, PDP cautions COAS not to drag Army into politics
Kingsley Nwezeh and Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, Wednesday accused the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, of inciting the military to disobey President Muhammadu Buhari’s lawful orders, saying this is an unthinkable proposition in the military.
The president had told his All Progressives Congress (APC) party leaders at a meeting on Monday that he had asked the military and the police to deal ruthlessly with ballot box snatchers, saying miscreants who attempt to disrupt Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections would do so at the expense of their lives.
Buhari’s statement received searing attacks from opposition parties’ leaders, one of them Atiku, who at an emergency meeting of the PDP leadership, advised the Army not to obey unlawful orders.
But Buratai took issues with Atiku Wednesday and demanded that the PDP presidential candidate withdraws his advice which he said was tantamount to incitement.
“It is unfortunate to hear persons who are aspiring to rule this country again inciting the army to disobedience,” the army chief said, adding: “We have consistently stated our position in the political dispensation to remain neutral and apolitical.”
He added: “However, direct and public incitement of the Nigerian Military against democracy and constituted civil authority will not be tolerated. I request such persons to withdraw this inciting statement.”
The PDP quickly rose to the defence of its candidate last night in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, warning the army chief not to drag the troops into politics.
Buratai, who spoke at a meeting with principal staff officers, and military commanders at the Army Headquarters, Abuja, however, said the military remained apolitical, warning that incitement would not be tolerated.
He said: “Let me re-emphasise loud and clear, that the Nigerian Army is a professional army. The foundation of military professionalism is discipline and without discipline an army cannot stand.
“One of our core values is loyalty to constituted authority. Loyalty must be 100 per cent. I shall leave you in no doubt as to our resolve to bequeath a professionally responsive army to Nigeria and Nigerians.”
He warned that officers who are not given to loyalty should resign before the election.
He added: “Should any officer or soldier have doubts as to his loyalty to the Nigerian state as presently constituted, such a person has up to February 22, 2019 to resign. There is no room for indiscipline or disobedience to lawful orders in the Nigerian Army today.”
He said those seeking to undermine democracy should be regarded as enemies of democracy.
Buratai told the officers: “I wish to first remind all of you that the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable. Hence those who seek to undermine our democracy by interfering in our electoral process must be seen as enemies of Nigeria and dealt with appropriately.
“Our role is aptly captured in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and we must defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity as well as act in aid of civil authority when called upon to do so.
“Therefore, commanders must work with all stakeholders, interest groups and agencies to avert any act by any individual, groups or entities that seek to undermine our democratic process.”
Buratai noted that electoral thuggery, ballot box snatching and illegal possession of electoral materials, are acts designed to mar elections.
He warned commanders not to hobnob with politicians, restrict movements within their areas of responsibility and conduct extensive patrols while suspicious persons and vehicles are to be searched.
He directed commanders to deal decisively with any electoral crime or action that would be inimical to national security.

He appeared to have been listening to music or talking to someone, with the microphone section of the earphones resting over his lips.    

Police from the Phan Thong Provincial Police Station in Chonburi, Thailand, arrived and carried the dead body from the property. 

Police Captain Jaleuk Polthong said police believe that Kritsada was electrocuted while using the earphones and charging his smartphone at the same time. 

The captain said: 'We believe a short circuit caused his death while he was on the phone with someone or he was listening to music.'

EFCC: Atiku blast EFCC for allowing Buhari to acquire Keystone Etisalat

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has berated the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Atiku’s anger came down on anti-graft agency for “failing to investigate how Alhaji Isa Funtua, a close ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, acquired Keystone Bank and 9Mobile (formerly known Etisalat).”
The former Vice President in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, pointed out that “the EFCC has failed to investigate the acquisition of the bank and telecommunications company because of Alhaji Funtua’s closeness to President Buhari.”
The statement said, “It is not surprising that the EFCC has suddenly become prostrate and bluntly refused to investigate the acquisition of Keystone Bank and 9Mobile, which have been widely adjudged to be fraudulent, if not out rightly criminal.
“The EFCC, like many other agencies under the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government has once again displayed partisanship.
“More importantly, the said Isa Funtua has been known to be a major player in the Presidency whose influence and reach has been less than salutary.
“A recent picture showing the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr Godwin Emefiele bowing to Alhaji Funtua which recently went viral is proof enough of the stature of the President’s ally. The EFCC’s refusal to act therefore follows a familiar narrative”, he stated.
Atiku continued, “While we hold on to the piece of evidence that we have, it is no longer in doubt that underhand dealings took place in the acquisition of Keystone Bank and 9Mobile.
“The part played by the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), both agencies of government have been widely reported and not controverted. The days of playing the ostrich by the Presidency are over. No more hiding for them”, he added.
He referred the presidency to trending online reports which, according to him, “detailed how Alhaji Funtua reportedly bought over the bank and telecom outfit with funds provided by AMCON, whose Chief Executive Officer is a son in-law to the President’s friend.
“Considering that the EFCC and other related agencies would not act as a result of partisanship to the ruling APC, the only hope at this stage is the National Assembly which we urge should take up the gauntlet.
“The National Assembly as representatives of the people is the last hope. We cannot allow the looting and criminal acquisition of our collective patrimony.
“They plan to steal more if President Buhari wins a second term

Election 2019; What will happen if i lose the election.

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has insisted he will accept the result of the 2019 presidential election if he loses, provided the election is free and fair.
The former vice-president stated this on Wednesday, while answering questions on ‘The Candidates’, a presidential town hall on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
It was the last question thrown at Atiku by the moderator, Kadaria Ahmed.
As the very final question before drawing the curtain on the interaction, Atiku was asked if he would accept the result of the election should he lose.
He replied: “If elections are adjudged to be free and fair and credible, why not? I have lost elections before.

Lagos APC rally, blames Ambode, others

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the violence that erupted during the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship rally in Lagos State.
Fani-Kayode claimed that the violence was some kind of ritual and blood sacrifice to kickstart the campaign.
Recall that a staunch supporter of the APC and factional leader of the NURTW in Oshodi area of Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya popularity called MC Oluomo was stabbed in the neck and is currently receiving treatment. This happened during a governorship campaign rally in Ikeja area of Lagos State, yesterday.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain has alleged that the APC was a ”coven of Rabia-loving fundamentalists, ritualists, cultists, devil-worshippers and men of violence and blood.”
In a post on his Facebook, Fani-Kayode wrote: ”People are being slaughtered before his very eyes and Ambode keeps on making his speech as if nothing extraordinary was happening? This is clearly some kind of ritual and blood sacrifice to kick off their campaign in Lagos state.

Buhari to take action soon

The President Muhammadu Buhari has just said that he will take action regarding the case of the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris in due course.

Buhari said this during an interview aired on Arise TV which was monitored by our correspondent.

There have been growing demands for the IG, who has reached the retirement age of 60, to step aside.

However, there have been speculations that the President is considering extending his tenure till after the elections.

When asked his next line of action, Buhari burst into laughter, mocking those who had threatened to take action against him if he refused to sack Idris.

He, however, said he was not afraid of the IG and would take a decision soon.

The President said, “I don’t think I am afraid of him. And I don’t think I have asked him to mount roadblocks in place such that I’ll lose revenue (if he goes). But I’ll take action.”

Buhari, however, said removing service chiefs or the IG during a time of insecurity is a sensitive matter

SHOCKING; A boy died after the smell from the fish his grandma was cooking.

Fish is one of the eight major food allergies in the US and can be deadly to those allergic. An 11 year-old boy died suddenly after suffering a suspected allergic reaction to the smell of fish being cooked by his grandma. Camron Jean-Pierre was found unconscious in his Brooklyn, New York home on Tuesday, January 1. He was suffering from what police speculate was an apparent adverse reaction to the seafood being cooked at his home. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Jean-Pierre’s family told police they were cooking fish when the incident occurred and his grandmother acknowledged that he suffered an apparent allergic reaction, newsmen reported. An urgent care doctor said that inhaling specific fumes can trigger deadly allergic reactions in children, but she was unable to comment on the exact details of Jean-Pierre’s case. Police have not yet confirmed the boy’s cause of death and have not specified what type of fish was cooking when the reaction occurred. Authorities do not suspect any criminality at this point, with no detail offered on whether Camron’s allergies were known before his tragic death

Baby born with her twin inside her stomach

Doctors successfully removed the little girl's dead sibling in an hour-and-a-half-long surgery on Monday.

A baby girl born with her own twin inside her stomach has had the dead sibling successfully removed.

The newborn was born with her 1-pound, 1-ounce sibling inside her after a medical condition called “fetus in fetu” developed during mom Pooja Kumar’s pregnancy.

Despite her swollen stomach at birth, the 6-pound, 9-ounce unnamed girl was discharged from the hospital and returned home to Bhakrodh Sherwan, north India, with her parents.

But after several weeks of colds, stomach ache and stiffness the baby girl was readmitted to Sir Sundarlal Hospital.

Doctors diagnosed fetus in fetu — an abnormality which happens only in one in every 500,000 births.

Surgeons successfully removed the underdeveloped embryo from the 1-month-old girl during an hour-and-a-half operation on Monday.

Images show the surgeon removing a large object with hands, feet, stomach, chest and spinal cord in early development.

The baby girl, who is due to be named next month, is said to be healthy after surgery

Female victim chased by kidnappers into karate school

During an attempted kidnapping, a young woman ran from her attacker and into a North Carolina karate studio where one of the instructors was able to intercept the man running behind her.

The accused has been identified as 46-year-old August Williams. According to local police, Williams attempted to force the victim into his car before she was able to break free and search for help.

At around 9 PM on Thursday, the woman rushed into Bushiken Karate Charlotte Dojo in Charlotte, NC and explained to the staff that a man was trying to harm her. Moments later, Williams entered the facility looking for the woman, which is when he was apprehended by the studio's senior instructor, Randall Ephraim

"There were still some kids in the dojo being picked up by parents and a couple of adult students cleaning up when a young lady came through our doors and stated that someone was trying to harm her," Ephraim told CNN. "Shortly afterward, a big male entered the building. Not knowing what he wanted, I assumed he was inquiring about classes," he continued.

"I asked how I could assist him and he stated that he was there for the lady. She insisted that she did not know him and tried to kidnap her." Ephraim tried asking Williams to leave. However, he refused to do so before becoming violent.

The instructor was able to detain Williams before the police arrived. Ephraim explained that it wasn't an easy feat. "He was very strong... very, very strong. He weighed at least 200 (pounds) and some change, under the influence; very strong powerful individual," the instructor noted.

Captain JD Thomas from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department explained that the outcome could have very different had the karate studio not been there

A tribe that Men kidnap Women as wives

For some tribes in Africa, marriage is seen as a ransom transaction rather than a joining of two people who care for each other.

In Nigeria, with over 250 ethnic groups, there are so many traditions that it’s hard to keep track of them all. When it comes to marriage traditions, the story is the same. However, there are some similarities — man sees woman, proceeds to seek hand-in-marriage from girl’s parents, pays some form of compensation and goes home with wife.

That seems like quite a normal process, right? Well, it hasn’t always been the norm in some areas.

Marriage by kidnapping in Nigeria

Tiv couple in traditional attire on wedding day [Poontoe]

Within the Tiv/Igede tribe of Benue state, marriage in present times is a thing of wealth and celebration, just like in many other parts of Nigeria.

In previous times though, tradition allowed a man who found a girl he likes to organise to kidnap her from the streets. He would hold her hostage and then proceed to negotiate the marriage rights with her parents. The whole process involves gift giving, rituals such as gun firing and warning other intending suitors to keep away from her. After the whole rites, the lady is officially his wife.

This bizarre marriage tradition is so ancient in Tiv culture that it has been phased out over time. Now, marriage is more respectful and the woman has an actual say in the whole process.

While we would like to think that this marriage practice is completely outdated, it is still very much alive among the Latuka tribe of Sudan, and even more bizarre.

The Latuka tribe are a quiet people tucked away in the Southernmost parts of Sudan, who practice subsistence and livestock farming. They have been able to withstand the influence of western religions and technologies in their communities. This is obvious in their enduring practice of marriage by abduction.

Latuka women of Sudan [Outward On]

Just like in ancient Tiv culture, when a Latuka man sees a woman he likes, he kidnaps her and keeps her hostage, after which he goes to her father’s house with an elder to seek his blessing on their marriage. If the father of the bride agrees, he is expected to show his approval by beating up his prospective son-in-law. However, if the father disagrees, the son-in-law either returns the lady to her parents or marries her anyway. Most times, the man chooses the latter.

The place of tradition in modern times

Bride price and dowries have often caused controversy in these times when we cautiously wade the waters of feminism, while attempting to dismantle patriarchy. In September 2018, several conversations begun after award-winning author and activist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, spoke about the commercialism around marriage, and stated very clearly that she is “not a fan of bride price.”

At her meet and greet in Lagos, she was quoted to say, “If you go back in history, the idea of marriage is different from what it is today. Yes, there was bride price where fundamentally you sort of give things to the bride’s family, but there was also an exchange of gifts… and it was a bit more fluid… In my opinion I think we should just get rid of the whole idea of money. I think it just ruins things.”

While many argued for the need to preserve the culture of bride price, it is important to note that this frightening marriage by abduction, which essentially gives the woman no voice in the whole process of her own marriage, is part of Sudanese culture. So, before we become outraged about how alien and frightening the marriage by abduction is to us, it may as well be justified as part of their “culture” to them.

African culture is no doubt beautiful and deserves to be preserved, but how does one determine what is worth keeping and what should be abolished? Where do we draw the line
