N-a-r-r-o-w e-s-c-a-p-e! Encounter with Fulani herdsmen in Delta

*Warning! This story contains a graphic photo some may find disturbingReports of Fulani herdsmen attacking members of their host communities with AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons have often been treated as a fairy tale by those saddled with the  responsibility of  protecting lives and property of the citizenry.Recently, Crime Alert published a story of 23-year-old Ogbonna Eze, a commercial motorcyclist from Opi Community in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu state, whose life was almost snuffed out by  two Fulani  herdsmen whom he had conveyed  from Opi Junction along Enugu -Makurdi Expressway , to their  camp at Idodo Agu Ekwegbe, Igbo Etiti local government  area on a special drop.But midway into the journey, Eze  got the shock of his life following an order from the men for him   to stop, on reaching a market close to the camp. But before he could fathom the reason for the order, he was attacked from behind with matchet cuts all over his head and was abandoned in a bush part apparently to die, while his motorbike was taken away by his assailants.It would also be recalled that  the Obi of Onicha-Ugbo in Delta State, Agbogidi, Victor Chukwumalieze, had  three months ago, raised alarm over atrocities of Fulani herdsmen  whom he alleged ravaged farm lands, raped women and attacked farmers who dared to challenge them.The Fulani herdsmen said to have fled their home town following activities of Boko Haram sect  in some Northern parts of the country  have reportedly  diversified into armed robbery in their host communities with security agencies accused of looking the other way.At Ogume, in Ndokwa local government area of Delta state, about 27 persons were  reportedly killed  in April after the herdsmen were confronted by Ogume youths. There has also  been reported clashes in between the herdsmen and youths in  Ibusa. Although  vigilante groups have been formed in  the various communities around Delta state and other areas bedeviled by these attacks, unfortunately,  they seemed not to be able to  match the fire power of these herdsmen.Worried by this development in Delta state, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan established  a constitution responsible for the protection of  lives of Deltans from these criminal group that disguise as herdsmen. Even with this on ground, there seemed to be no end to the attack of Fulani herdsmen.A recent attack occurred July 21, 2013 when  five armed Fulani herdsmen wielding fully loaded AK 47 rifles, ambushed a 14 seater Hiace bus, travelling from Onicha-Ugbo to Asaba, Delta state, dispossessing  the occupants of their belongings.One of the occupants of the bus was Vanguard’s Foreign Affairs Editor,  Mr  Hugo Odiogor, who escaped death by the whiskers, following the merciless beatings they received from the herdsmen.Narrating his ordeal, he said: “ It started like a dream as staccato of gun shots shattered the early morning peace and silence  penultimate Sunday. I had attended the funeral of late Steve Osemeke,  former Director of Public Affairs of Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC who died on June 24, 2013 in Abuja.The funeral rites began on July 18th and ended on 20th, after he was committed to mother earth. Thereafter, the visiting parties began to depart. I had planned to return to Abuja enroute Asaba International Airport.From  Onicha-Ugbo junction, I boarded a Delta coloured Hiace bus heading towards  Asaba/Onitsha at about 7.05am.The journey had lasted only twenty minutes when five Fulani herdsmen carrying AK 47 rifles jumped out from the bush at the Ubulu Okiti-Otulu end of the Asaba-Benin Expressway. They shattered the peace of this dewy Sunday morning with staccato of gun shots into the air to warn the driver and the occupants of the bus of  their intention to kill anybody that tries to offer resistance.*Eze attacked along Enugu-Makurdi Expressway recently*Eze attacked along Enugu-Makurdi Expressway recentlyThe gun shots elicited a general shout of “blood of Jesus” from the terrified occupants of the bus.Each round of shootings was accompanied by a corresponding response of “blood of Jesus”.With their patched up English language they ordered everybody to “bring out ya Money or i kill you”. They had their faces covered with charcoal, while their dresses and language obviously tells you that they are cattle rearers. They carried with them their sticks and machetes.Without a whimper, we all handed over whatever money we had on us. I gave them N45,000 which was to cover my flight ticket and other expenses. We were ordered to spread ourselves on the express road, faced down to be searched. They warned us pronto “if I search you and see any money, I kill you”. This was a command that nobody  in his right mind would  disobey. Promptly, we undressed; men and women, with only boxers and panties on.  As we did so, we were lashed with the rod  they used to shepherd their cattle. Each lash of the whip was greeted with the shouts of “blood of Jesus”.As if the pains from the long stick was not scotching enough, a slap with the blade side of the machete  landed on my back, wham! One of the co- travellers warned me: “Oga if you no shout them go shoot you O!’. That warning was well taken as another blow from the machete landed on my back wham!, I screamed as much as I could, to convince them that I was really feeling the pain.As they ransacked our luggage and searched our pockets, they held us to the ground faced down, with gun shots ringing out intermittently. We were half dead.  The thought in my heart then was  either that they would open fire on us or allow on-coming trailer to crush us all. Fortunately, their gun shots had warned other vehicles to stay off from the scene of danger.It was a 30 minutes ordeal which ended  with a command from one of them who said, “let’s go”.We waited for about three minutes to be sure  our tormentors were gone before  we got up from the ground and scampered to find our clothes from where  they were flung.Confused, scared and  traumatized we picked ourselves together but our telephones and cash were gone. My suitcase containing my mini lap top, tape recorder, ATM cards, cheque books, shoes, clothes, documents and other valuables, were gone. I was cashless in the real sense of the word that going forward was as difficult as going back.Drama of Police ReportThe police arrived five minutes after the criminals had gone.  Graciously, they assisted some of the  wounded  passengers to Agbor while those of us going to Asaba were asked to continue with the ill-fated vehicle.Reporting the incident to the police became another tug of war. At first the reaction of the victims was to get out of the scene of torment, even when the police came, we were not interested in reporting our ordeal to them.On reaching  Asaba, my immediate reaction was to get across to my family  but this became a difficult task getting to recall telephone numbers in a confused and traumatised state of mind. When I eventually got through to my family, my next task was how to get access to funds to keep things going. It was not until 6 pm that Chief Akaeze Ibonye took me to  the police station  to make an official  report of the loss of my identity cards and other items which could be found on the crime scene, as this  could make me a suspect instead of a victim.But at the  station, I was warned not to say that the robbers were of Fulani extraction, that there was a serious effort by security agencies to conceal the fact that the perpetrators of the crime were from Northern part of the country. But I objected to that. After much trouble, I was referred to Okpanam police station because the scene of the incident was not within Asaba jurisdiction.On Monday, July 22, 2013, I went to a police station at  Okpanam which also declined to enter my report. Instead, I was referred to Isele Uku.  On stating my case, a police officer asked me to lead him to the scene of the crime. This sounded idiotic as it means that I could as well lead the police man to the camp of the criminals.   The Ozah of Onicha Ugbo Chief Azubukwu Mosindi, told this reporter that several reports have been made concerning these Fulani boys but nobody seemed to care.This was further collaborated by Chief Patrick Onwochei who said the activities of these herdsmen who terrorize the entire length and breath of Delta State with impunity. From Isele Uku, I was further referred to Ogwashi Uku, where for the second time, I was asked not to describe the robbers as Fulani herdsmen. Of course, I refused, but made my report all the same”, he said..Residents of the area have therefore, called on the Federal and state government,  as well as the Inspector-General of Police to wade into the matter with a view to checkmating activities of these Fulani herdsmen whom they described as emerging terrorists.Send your press release/articles/enquiries to: ogasaintprince@gmail.com

Watch The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie Movie with Full HD Format

A pair of pint-sized rock stars wrestle with the perils of stardom, icky girls, and too much soda pop in this mockumentary comedy. Nine-year-old Nat Wolff is the singer, guitarist and songwriter for a rock band known as the Silver Bullets, which features his six-year-old brother, Alex Wolff, on the drums. With the help of their equally youthful bandmates Joshua Kaye, Thomas Batuello, and David Levi, Nat and Alex have built the Silver Bullets into one of the most popular groups on Earth, thanks to the business acumen of their manager, Cooper Pillot, and despite the uncalled-for assistance of Nat and Alex's accordion-wielding father (Michael Wolff). But life at the top isn't always easy, and creative differences begin to drive a wedge into the group when Nat insists they record a love ballad dedicated to his nine-year-old girlfriend, Rosalina (Allie Dimeco), while his bandmates would prefer to cut Thomas' "Boys Rule, Girls Drool." As the squabbling continues and Alex becomes addicted to lemon-lime soda, the Silver Bullets break up, but will the pleas of their many fans encourage them to reunite? The Naked Brothers Band was written and directed by Polly Draper, who happens to be Nat and Alex's real-life mom; the Silver Bullets write and perform their own material, and Draper was inspired by her kids' pre-teen musical exploits. Julianne Moore, Uma Thurman, and Cyndi Lauper make cameo appearances as some of the group's better-known fans. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Release Date The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie Oct 23, 2005 Wide If You Like this movie you can streaming The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie movie without downloading HERE WatchActors For The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie Nat Wolff,Alex Wolff,Joshua Kaye,David Levi,Thomas Batuello,Cole Hawkins,Allie DiMeco,Michael Wolff,Jesse Draper,Jonathan Pillot,Uma Thurman,Julianne Moore,Arsenio Hall,Cyndi Lauper,Tony ShalhoubGenres The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie : Kids & Family,Musical & Performing Arts,ComedyVisitor Ranting & Critics For The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie User Ranting The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie

You're So Vain': Taylor Swift duets with Carly Simon

You're So Vain': Taylor Swift duets with Carly Simon, Taylor Swift's duets with her musical predecessors haven't always been well-received -- she was famously off-key during her performance of "Rhiannon" at the Grammys with Stevie Nicks a few years ago.But the 23-year-old starlet tried again on Saturday night, inviting legendary singer-songwriter Carly Simon to join her onstage for a rendition of "You're So Vain," the 1972 hit about an egotistical mystery man."Before I bring out my special guest, I have this question that I've always, always had," Swift told the audience at a tour stop in Foxborough, Mass. "I think a lot of you have probably had this question too, always wondered what the answer is. Who is this song, 'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon, written about?""Got to sing 'You're So Vain' with Carly Simon at Gillette Stadium tonight!!!!! Unreal. I could not possibly look up to her more," Swift said after the show.She hinted at the effort earlier this month, tweeting on July 10: "I feel like I definitely get along with people roughly 45% more if they know all the words to 'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon."

Jimmy Fallon Overjoyed With New Daughter Winnie Rose

Jimmy Fallon Overjoyed With New Daughter Winnie Rose, Last night, Jimmy Fallon, 38, expressed the utter joy and excitement he’s feeling as a new father.“I’m your host ‘dada’,” he opened his ”Late Night” monologue. “I’m the father of a beautiful baby girl, she’s so cute. Her name is Winnie Rose Fallon and she’s so cute.”Fallon joked that since his daughter’s birth at 6:21 a.m. on Tuesday, he feels like he’s been at a four-day conference. Winnie was born at 5 lbs., 9 oz.“It’s very taxing on the fathers, I don’t know how it is for the mothers,” he added. “Me and my wife are so happy.”On behalf of himself and his wife Nancy Juvonen Fallon, Jimmy thanked everyone who posted well wishes on his Facebook wall or Twitter page.“I hope I don’t screw this up, I’m just so happy,” he said playfully.Then, of course, he had to reference the royal baby.“Yes William and Kate, we’ll definitely set up a play date, stop bothering me,” the “SNL” alum joked. ”Yes, everyone’s still talking about the other baby.”It’s been a big year for Fallon. In April, it was announced he will replace Jay Leno in 2014 as host of the “Tonight Show.” This move will bring the show’s production back to New York City.

Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage (Audiobook)

http://i48.fastpic.ru/big/2013/0717/d2/5d2a301d597498f2a58c0010e173cad2.jpgCommitted: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage (Audiobook) By Elizabeth Gilbert, read by the authorUnabridged edition 2010 | 8 hours and 30 mins | ISBN: 0143145754 | MP3 56 kbps | 215 MBGilbert"s sequel to the megabestselling Eat, Pray, Love is a serious, sincere, yet ultimately tedious slog of a listen. Debating whether or not to marry her boyfriend, the author embarks on a one-year study of marriage"s evolution, cultural variations, pitfalls, and pleasures. It"s earnest and heartfelt, but there"s no story. Gilbert"s encapsulations of her research cannot sustain the reader"s interest, and her forays into amateur anthropology in Southeast Asia are crude and uncharitable: she vacillates between tropes of the happy savage and crowing that the Hmong women she interviews will never know her level of education, health, and agency. But these considerable flaws belong to the material alone; Gilbert"s reading is unimpeachable. Her voice is low, warm, slightly hoarse; her attitude is confiding and self-deprecating, and her charm does much in making the book"s less palatable sections go down easily.Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage (Audiobook) Free Download

Ansel Elgort Talks on Working Again with Shailene Woodley for TFiOS

In a recent interview with Vulture, Ansel Elgort responds to "incest" controversy with Shailene Woodley. In case you don't know, Ansel is working with Shailene in the movie adaptation of Divergent, wherein they play brothers and sisters Caleb and Tris. These two can be seen next as lovers in The Fault in Our Stars. Here's an excerpt from Vulture's interview: “I think that’s the magic of being an actor,” he said. “You can do that and it’s not weird — people play different roles all the time, you know?” Vulture: But people don’t usually go from brother to lover in quick succession, we pointed out. “No, not always,” Elgort admitted. “‪I feel like Shailene is the best actress I’ve ever met, who was good enough to read with, and I feel like I’m a pretty good actor, too, so I think it’s going to be no problem for us. It’ll be great.‬” Vulture: So really, no squeamishness at all about this?“‪Acting is acting. We have chemistry as brother and sister, but we’re both good enough to have chemistry as lovers as well.‬”

Seamless Socks for Children with Sensory Processing Disorder, Hypersensitivity and Autism

SmartKnitKIDS Seamless SocksSmartKnit KIDS Seamless Socksare a 100% truly seamless sock designed for children with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, Hypersensitivity, or for those who just hate annoying sock seams. Spun the same way a caterpillar spins a cocoon, SmartKnitKIDS Seamless Socks are started at the toe and knitted down to the ankle. This one of a kind process creates a cozy and comfy sock for little feet and toes. A no heal design allows the sock to be slipped on any which way. Tired of hearing her son scream “these sock seams keep bugging me,” a mom decided something needed to be done. Every “seamless” sock her son tried had seams in it; there was not a truly seamless sock available. After explaining the frustrating morning routine to countless friends of her son’s struggles with socks, she was finally given the name of Knit-Rite, a textile manufacturer, and contacted them with her request for a seamless kids sock. After several requests for seamless socks from "desperate" parents, SmartKnitKIDS socks were created. Knit the same way a caterpillar spins its cocoon, SmartKnitKIDS socks are started at the toe and worked up toward the ankle. This process insures a 100% seamless sock, so there are no seams to bug ya! A form-fitting design also keeps those annoying lumps and bumps out of the socks.
