BENJAMIN NJOKU
You gave your father a befitting burial. How did it go?
Everything went fine. We give God the glory. I feel a sense of relief now. Relief, because the troubles associated with burial arrangements have been over. The stress has reduced.

Update: Bus driver that was shot 2 times at Oba Akran yesterday



You all heard yesterday about a bus driver which was shot twice at close range today (if you missed it, read here) well, there's an update on the incident.

According to an eye-witness, trouble started when a bus driver, who was simply wanting to avoid the traffic along Oba Akran road, climbed the pavement of a bank building so he could get in front of other vehicles.

A security operative went to  the driver, told him to get away from the pavement and go back to the road. The 2 men started exchanging words. One thing resulted in another and the bus driver got down and started fighting the gun the security man was holding. The security man shot him twice on the leg.

The area boys along that road who saw what happened got angry and descended on the bank and destroyed plenty of cars owned by customers of the bank. (You will find the photos after the break). The bus driver was taken up to a medical facility and the police eventually stumbled on to calm things down...

Confab dumps National anthem, Adopt Old one.




The National Conference on Thursday 3 July unanimously adopted a proposal that Nigeria revert to her old National Anthem, “which is a more credible symbol of unity, peace and prosperity”.
Instantly, delegates stood and in unison sang the first stanza of the old National Anthem which if adopted eventually, would become the new anthem.

The old anthem: 
“Nigeria we hail thee… our own dear native land; though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand’, was changed to the present one: ‘Arise o compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey…” during the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo in 1978.
