HORROR IN CHINA AS KNIFE WIELDING MEN ATTACK TRAIN STATION KILLING 28 AND INJURING 113.


At least 28 people have been killed and 113 injured after a group of knife-wielding men hacked their way through innocent people at one of China's busiest railway stations.

Distressing photos circulating online showed bodies, pools of blood and abandoned luggage scattered across the terminal floor at Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan province.

Authorities described the incident at about 9.20pm local time (1.20pm GMT) as an 'organised, premeditated, violent terrorist attack' in which at least 10 people stabbed commuters outside the station terminal before moving inside.

THE CANONISATION OF TERROR - WOLE SOYINKA


The sheer weight of indignation and revulsion of most of Nigerian humanity at the recent Boko Haram atrocity in Yobe is most likely to have overwhelmed a tiny footnote to that outrage, small indeed, but of an inversely proportionate significance.  This was the name of the hospital to which the survivors of the massacre were taken. That minute detail calls into question, in a gruesome but chastening way, the entire ethical landscape into which this nation has been forced by insensate leadership.  It is an uncanny coincidence, one that I hope the new culture of ‘religious tourism’, spearheaded by none other than the nation’s president in his own person, may even come to recognize as a message from unseen forces.

For the name of that hospital, it is reported, is none other than that of General Sanni Abacha, a vicious usurper under whose authority the lives of an elected president and his wife were snuffed out.  Assassinations – including through bombs cynically ascribed to the opposition – became routine. Under that ruler, torture and other forms of barbarism were enthroned as the norm of governance.  To round up, nine Nigerian citizens, including the writer and environmentalist Ken Saro-wiwa, were hanged after a trial that was stomach churning even by the most primitive standards of judicial trial, and in defiance of the intervention of world leadership. We are speaking here of a man who placed this nation under siege during an unrelenting reign of terror that is barely different from the current rampage of Boko Haram. It is this very psychopath that was recently canonized by the government of Goodluck Jonathan in commemoration of one hundred years of Nigerian trauma.

BETWEEN SANUSI AND THE POWERS-THAT-BE - FANI KAYODE


Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is not my favourite person and I have differences with him on many issues. I must, however, commend his immense courage for speaking out and exposing the monumental corruption in the government that he once served as CBN Governor and that has now decided that they no longer require his services.

Two weeks ago, he claimed that 20 billion US dollars had gone missing from the coffers of the NNPC. Today, he has been suspended and relieved of his duties for exposing the rot and speaking the truth. I have little doubt that the next thing that will happen is that he will be subjected to a formal probe and the EFCC will be called in to investigate his tenure of office. They will throw everything that they have got at him including the kitchen sink simply because he refused to play ball with them and cover up their penchant for monumental corruption and graft.

WHY I REJECTED THE CENTENARY AWARD - WOLE SOYINKA.


Professor Wole Soyinka, the Nobel laureate, said he rejected Nigeria’s centenary award bestowed on him because of the inclusion on the honours list of the late Nigerian tyrant, General Sani Abacha and other known killers and looters of Nigeria’s treasury.

In a rejection note headlined ”The Canonisation of Terror”, Soyinka observed that the inclusion of Abacha on the list does not only show a failure of a moral rigour but it calls into question ”the entire ethical landscape into which this nation has been forced by insensate leadership”.

He reminded those who have forgotten so soon that General Sani Abacha was a vicious usurper under whose authority the lives of an elected president and his wife—M.K.O and Kudirat Abiola— were snuffed out.

RUSSIA SET TO INTERVENE IN UKRAINE'S CRISIS.


The new pro-Russian leader of Ukraine's southern Crimea region has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for help in maintaining peace, as international concerns mount that Moscow may intervene militarily in the crisis.

A Kremlin spokesman said Russia "will not disregard" Crimean Premier Sergey Aksyonov's request for help "in maintaining peace and accord in Crimea."

Aksyonov, who was installed as the region's premier after armed men took over the Crimean parliament building Thursday, said security forces "are unable to efficiently control the situation in the republic," in comments broadcast on Russian state channel Russia 24.

LAWYER NABBED WITH N1.2M CASH BRIBE FOR EFCC OPERATIVES.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a legal practitioner, Barrister Ayodele Owoka, 47, over allegations of bribery.

He was arrested on Thursday, February 27, 2014 at the Commission’s office in Ikoyi, Lagos as he attempted to bribe a team of operatives investigating a case of contract inflation, abuse of office, stealing, embezzlement and misappropriation of funds at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State.

Upon his arrest, the suspect confessed that he offered the operatives N1.2 Million which was allegedly given to him by the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. O. A. Omotosho, to bribe the team to soft pedal on their investigations.

Ayodele confessed that Omotosho gave him a total sum of N1.5 Million but that he kept N300, 000 for his personal use and offered the operatives the balance of N1.2Million as bribe.

The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest and indicated that the suspect would soon be arraigned.

PASTOR ENOCH ADEBOYE CLOCKS 72 ON SUNDAY, 2ND MARCH 2014.


He is one of the most respected spiritual leaders in the world and I must also affirm that he is a man after God's heart. Testimonies abound to support all these. 

The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will celebrate his 72nd birthday on Sunday. The man of God who has steered the RCCG to greater heights is making the celebration low key as no plan has been released by the church to celebrate his birthday.

Popularly known as ‘Daddy G.O.’ by his millions of followers, Adeboye was born on 2 March, 1942 into a humble family in the village of Ifewara, Osun State, western Nigeria.

(VIDEO) THREE GIRLS STEAL LINGERIE AT ACCRA MALL AND WERE MADE TO CRAWL AS PUNISHMENT


Three ladies believed to be students of the University of Ghana were forced to do a crawl of shame as they were accused of shoplifting lingerie.

They were made to crawl round the mall in Accra as punishment.


ENDLESS BLOODSHED IN THE NORTH YET JONATHAN WEARS A SMILE PRETENDING THAT ALL IS WELL.


TRAGEDIES and disasters come with pains and grief; but they are also events that unite a nation. When a country is afflicted by the twin evils, especially on the scale experienced in Nigeria in recent times, it draws the grief-stricken people together and provides a perfect setting for the leadership to reconnect with them. It is an opportunity for the leader to share in the pains of those affected; it is time for him to attempt to restore hope to the disillusioned, those who may have come to the conclusion that there is nothing to live for anymore.

Nigeria, in the past few years, has had her fair share of tragic events. Since the blood-thirsty terrorist group called Boko Haram started its campaign of terror in the north-eastern part of the country, thousands of people have been killed in very gruesome circumstances. In some instances, whole villages have been levelled. And, almost of equal ferocity have been the frequent attacks and the loss of lives witnessed in Plateau State. It could, therefore, be excused when reports of fresh attacks in those areas no longer attract the attention they used to, perhaps due to their frequency.

NICOLAS ANELKA GETS FIVE MATCH BAN FOR QUENELLE GETURE.


The Football Association has banned Nicolas Anelka for five games after his controversial “quenelle” gesture against West Ham United two months ago.

The former France international was charged last month under the Football Association's new anti-discrimination rules and after a three-day hearing was found guilty of an aggravated breach of FA Rule E3 by an independent disciplinary commission.

The 34-year-old, who denied the charges, has also been fined 80,000 pounds and ordered to complete a compulsory education course. He has seven days to lodge an appeal.

THE WENDELL SIMLIN SAGA THAT EXPOSED JONATHAN'S SPECIAL ASSISTANT "RENO OMOKRI" (@Renoomokri) AS A PERPETUAL LIAR.


Call this a dance of shame and you might be so close to the truth except there is a better way to describe the mess the outspoken and sometimes unreasonable Special Assistant on New Media to President Jonathan got himself into.

Reno Omokri is one of President Jonathan's many sore mouthpiece who has been promoting the fruitless agenda of the presidency and attacking critics of the government. He however burnt his own fingers when he posed as "WENDELL SIMLIN" and circulated a document online linking the suspended CBN Governor to escalated acts of terror in the northern part of the country. The ruse was however uncovered when some Internet-savvy Nigerians traced the IP address of the source document and it turned out that it had been authored and circulated by Mr. Omokri.

This scandal, the latest in a series of ethical and corruption issues rocking the Jonathan administration, set Twitter on fire today. Outraged Nigerians called for Mr. Omokri's sack. The timing of Mr. Omokri's fraudulent act is particularly insensitive, with many commentators questioning why a member of President Jonathan’s inner circle would seek to capitalize on the blood of slaughtered innocent children by forging documents to implicate a perceived "enemy" of the Jonathan administration.
