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 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

Bleacher Report - MLB: Marlins Relief Pitcher Gets a Little Too Excited in His Celebration and Eats It

Bleacher Report - MLB Bleacher Report - The open source sports network  Marlins Relief Pitcher Gets a Little Too Excited in His Celebration and Eats It Jul 31st 2013, 02:36, by Tristan Thornburgh

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Chad Qualls' showing on Tuesday exemplified the Marlins season perfectly: Even when things go well, they still seem to fail spectacularly.

Qualls allowed a triple at the beginning of the eighth inning against the Mets with the score tied 2-2. After he struck out the side to keep the score even, Qualls' fist went before his feet, and he did a full face plant. He tried to play it off as if he were attempting a fist-pump-somersault, but it's clear he didn't quite keep his footing.

Another angle of the tumble.

The most embarrassing part of this, however, is that this isn't the first time Qualls has done this. Here he is falling on a pickoff attempt while playing for the Phillies.

Some athletes just aren't as sure on their feet as others, apparently.

Hat tip to Larry Brown Sports for the GIFs.

“The English Girl” by Daniel Silva – A British Needle in a French Haystack

In the last few years Daniel Silva has made a name for himself as the author of various exciting thrillers and mystery novels, many of them revolving around a recurring protagonist, Gabriel Allon, master Israeli intelligence officer and art restorer extraordinaire. After finishing a case where his ridiculously-useless (for intelligence work of course) talent turned out to actually have a purpose, Gabriel Allon finds himself entangled in a whole different kind of web in The English Girl. An important British woman has reportedly disappeared on the French island of Corsica, and things wouldn't be so bad if that woman didn't have information which could utterly destroy the career of a prime minister, and if she wasn't taken as a hostage.If there was a single way to describe this book, I would say that it’s a non-stop thriller ride set on one of the most artistically-conscious roads there are out there. Daniel Silva incorporates a fair amount of art as well as interesting facts in relation to it in his book. He describes some pieces of work in great detail, and even delves into touches on a few more or less abstract concepts. However, he doesn’t focus on that aspect of the story more than is necessary and spends most of the time developing the actual subject, and boy is he good at that.Contrary to most mystery novels these days, this one actually is unpredictable. In general, I can predict a fair amount of the twists and turns a book is trying to hide, but this time around I just found myself giving up on the predictions and reading through it without making it into some kind of personal contest. It shows that Daniel Silva took his time crafting the story; he is a master at leading his readers by the nose and putting them exactly where he wants them to be.Finally, I feel like I have to dedicate this little section of the review to the characters. Silva does a magnificent job at making his characters feel lifelike, three-dimensional, and actually human. They aren’t cookie-cutter characters with personalities copy-pasted from the book of clichés… rather, each and every one of them feels quite unique and important, especially Allon who, despite being one of the most impossibly-indomitable humans on the planet, feels like he could actually exist. All in all, The English Girl is one of the most surprising and enthralling mysteries I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a while, and I safely recommend it to any fans of the genre.Places, where you can buy The English Girl Visit The English Girl Amazon webpage Visit The English Girl Amazon (Canada) webpage Visit The English Girl Barnes & Noble webpage More of the Daniel Silva's book reviews:The Fallen Angel

Yankees Win in Jeter Debut

The GoodJeter is back!  The Yankees scored 8 runs and it was a team effort.  7 players had RBI's, and they combined for 11 hits.  Our bullpen was on shutout mode and kept the Royals off the boards for 3.1 innings.The BadPettitte continues to grind out starts.  This one was 5.2 innings with 4 runs (3 earned).  He's not his sharpest, and you have to wonder if there's an injury lurking somewhere in there. The UglyJeter had to be pulled late in the game with a tight quad.  He was sent for an MRI and will likely play, but its tough when you've missed half a season to injure yourself in your first game back.  The KidsThe Yankees had more hit singles than Jay Z, but did not hit a single homerun, which is what benefits the children.  Travis Hafner 12hr = $24Vernon Wells 10hr = $20Brett Gardner 7hr = $14Kevin Youkilis 2hr = $4Jayson Nix 2hr = $4Robinson Cano 21hr = $42 Ichiro Suzuki 5hr = $10 Lyle Overbay 11hr = $22Brennan Boesch 3hr = $6Francisco Cervelli 3hr = $6Chris Stewart 3hr = $6Ben Francisco 1hr = $2David Adams 2hr = $4Curtis Granderson 1hr = $2Mark Teixeira 3hr = $6Zoilo Almonte 1hr = $2Total 86 hrs = $172
