Christians reportedly beheads ISIS jihadist
Christian reportedly beheads ISIS jihadistA Syrian Christian fighter has beheaded an Islamic State group (IS) militant to avenge people "executed" by the jihadists in northeastern Syria, a monitor said on Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the incident took place on Thursday in Hasakeh province, where IS holds large areas of the countryside.
According to the monitor, the Christian fighter, a member of the minority Assyrian community, found the jihadist in the local village of Tal Shamiram.
"He took him prisoner and when he found out he was a member of IS, the Assyrian fighter beheaded him in revenge for abuses committed by the group in the region," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.
The Observatory is based in Britain but has covered the Syrian conflict since it broke out four years ago thanks to a network of sources inside the country.
The Christian was fighting in the ranks of Kurdish forces who earlier this month drove IS out of more than a dozen Assyrian villages the jihadists had captured in Hasakeh.

Chimamanda writes about her father's kidnap
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on her father's kidnapping 'If you don’t give us what we want,you will never see his dead body,”the voice said. What she wrote on New York Times Opinion below...
My father was kidnapped in Nigeria on a Saturday morning in early May. My brother called to tell me, and suddenly there was not enough breathable air in the world. My father is 83 years old. A small, calm, contented man, with a quietly mischievous humor and a luminous faith in God, his beautiful dark skin unlined, his hair in sparse silvery tufts, his life shaped by that stoic, dignified responsibility of being an Igbo first son.
He got his doctoral degree at Berkeley in the 1960s, on a scholarship from the United States Agency for International Development; became Nigeria’s first professor of statistics; raised six children and many relatives; and taught at the University of Nigeria for 50 years. Now he makes fun of himself, at how slowly he climbs the stairs, how he forgets his cellphone. He talks often of his childhood, endearing and rambling stories, his words tender with wisdom.
Sometimes I record his Igbo proverbs, his turns of phrase. A disciplined diabetic, he takes daily walks and is to be found, after each meal, meticulously recording his carbohydrate grams in a notebook. He spends hours bent over Sudoku. He swallows a handful of pills everyday. His is a generation at dusk.On the morning he was kidnapped, he had a bag of okpa, apples and bottled water that my mother had packed for him. He was in the back seat of his car, his driver at the wheel, on a lonely stretch between Nsukka, the university town where he lives, and Abba, our ancestral hometown. He was going to attend a traditional meeting of men from his age group. A two-hour drive. My mother was planning their late lunch upon his return: pounded yam and a fresh soup. They always called each other when either traveled alone. This time, he didn’t call. She called him and his phone was switched off. They never switched off their phones. Hour after hour, she called and it remained off. Later, her phone rang, and although it was my father’s number calling, a stranger said, “We have your husband.”
Kidnappings are not uncommon in southeastern Nigeria and, unlike similar incidents in the Niger Delta, where foreigners are targeted, here it is wealthy or prominent local residents. Still, the number of abductions has declined in the past few years, which perhaps is why my reaction, in the aftermath of my shock, was surprise.
My close-knit family banded together more tightly and held vigil by our phones. The kidnappers said they would call back, but they did not. We waited. The desire to urge time forward numbed and ate my soul. My mother took her phone with her everywhere, and she heard it ringing when it wasn’t. The waiting was unbearable. I imagined my father in a diabetic coma. I imagined his octogenarian heart collapsing.
“How can they do this violence to a man who would not kill an ant?” my mother lamented. My sister said, “Daddy will be fine because he is a righteous man.” Ordinarily, I would never use “righteous” in a non-pejorative way. But something shifted in my perception of language. The veneer of irony fell away. It felt true. Later, I repeated it to myself. My father would be fine because he was a “righteous man.”
I understood then the hush that surrounds kidnappings in Nigeria, why families often said little even after it was over. We felt paranoid. We did not know if going public would jeopardize my father’s life, if the neighbors were complicit, if another member of the family might be kidnapped as well.“Is my husband alive?” my mother asked, when the kidnappers finally called back, and her voice broke. “Shut up!” the male voice said. My mother called him “my son.” Sometimes, she said “sir.” Anything not to antagonize him while she begged and pleaded, about my father being ill, about the ransom being too high. How do you bargain for the life of your husband? How do you speak of your life partner in the deadened tone of a business transaction?
“If you don’t give us what we want, you will never see his dead body,” the voice said.
My paternal grandfather died in a refugee camp during the Nigeria-Biafra war and his anonymous death, his unknown grave, has haunted my father’s life. Those words — “You will never see his dead body”
Kidnapping’s ugly psychological melodrama works because it trades on the most precious of human emotions: love. They put my father on the phone, and his voice was a low shadow of itself. “Give them what they want,” he said. “I will not survive if I stay here longer.” My stoic father. It had been three days but it felt like weeks.
Friends called to ask for bank-account details so they could donate toward the ransom. It felt surreal. Did it ever feel real to anybody in such a situation, I wondered? The scramble to raise the money in one day. The menacingly heavy bag of cash. My brother dropping it off, through a circuitous route, in a wooded area.
Late that night, my father was taken to a clearing and set free.
While his blood sugar and pressure were checked, my father kept reassuring us that he was fine, thanking us over and over for doing all we could. This is what he knows how to be — the protector, the father — and he slipped into his role almost as a defense. But there were cracks in his spirit. A drag in his gait. A bruise on his back.
“They asked me to climb into the boot of their car,” he said. “I was going to do so, but one of them picked me up and threw me inside. Threw. The boot was full of things and I hit my head on something. They drove fast. The road was very bumpy.”I imagined this grace-filled man crumpled inside the rear of a rusty car. My rage overwhelmed my relief — that he suffered such an indignity to his body and mind.And yet he engaged them in conversation. “I tried to reach their human side,” he said. “I told them I was worried about my wife.”
The next day, my parents were on a flight to the United States, away from the tainted blur that Nigeria had become.
With my father’s release, we all cried, as though it was over. But one thing had ended and another begun. I constantly straddled panic; I was sleepless, unfocused, jumpy, fearful that something else had gone wrong. And there was my own sad guilt: He was targeted because of me. “Ask your daughter the writer to bring the money,” the kidnappers told him, because to appear in newspapers in Nigeria, to be known, is to be assumed wealthy. The image of my father shut away in the rough darkness of a car boot haunted me. Who had done this? I needed to know.
But ours was a dance of disappointment with the authorities. We had reported the kidnapping immediately, and the first shock soon followed: State security officials asked us to pay for anti-kidnap tracking equipment, a large amount, enough to rent a two-bedroom flat in Lagos for a year. This, despite my being privileged enough to get personal reassurances from officials at the highest levels.How, I wondered, did other families in similar situations cope? Federal authorities told us they needed authorization from the capital, Abuja, which was our responsibility to get. We made endless phone calls, helpless and frustrated. It was as though with my father’s ransomed release, the crime itself had disappeared. To encounter that underbelly, to discover the hollowness beneath government proclamations of security, was jarring.
Now my father smiles and jokes, even of the kidnapping. But he jerks awake from his naps at the sound of a blender or a lawn mower, his eyes darting about. He recounts, in the middle of a meal, apropos of nothing, a detail about the mosquito-filled room where he was kept or the rough feel of the blindfold around his eyes. My greatest sadness is that he will never forget.

Pastor, wife and eight others die in auto crash
A zonal Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Dominic Folorunso Akinseye, his wife, Beatrice; and eight others all lost their lives in an auto crash that occurred along the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway while they were heading to their home in Ondo after attending the church's monthly vigil service at the Redemption camp on May 1st.
According to Vanguard, Pastor Akinseye, his wife and one of the victims, Pastor Festus Akinsoyinu Fadakinte, were all staff of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo. All victims of the accident were on their way back to Ondo state to attend a wedding when the Toyota bus belonging to the NASU Chapter of the college which they were traveling in rammed into a stationed trailer at Kajola village near Ore, killing all of them on the spot.
It took a combined effort of some members of the church who were coming back to Ondo state as well as passersby to remove their mangled bodies from the scene of the incident. Many believed that poor visibility might have been the cause of the accident.
The couple who are both officials of the Non- Academic Staff Union, NASU, of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo have since been buried. May their souls rest in peace

SHOCKING. ... Man falls and land on a rod...you need to see this.
This has got to be one of the worst injury you've ever. According to MTO, the man fell from his window, and landed on a metal rod. Thankfully doctors were able to remove the pole and the man survived. He is expected to make a full recovery. But you won't believe where the rod pierced. It's quite graphic.
Okonjo-Iweala Replies Oshiomhole.
Press statement from Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in response to Gov. Oshiomhole who attacked her over the lingering fuel scarcity. Read below...
It is no surprise that a few days after the Federal Ministry of Finance published the details of what the Federal and State governments received from the Excess Crude Account over the past four years, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has launched an attack against the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. His article “Economy: Okonjo-Iweala’s hidden figures” is full of gaping holes, both in facts and logic.
Obviously, for daring to publish how the ECA was shared and showing that governors who cannot pay salaries have no excuses, Okonjo-Iweala is being targeted. It is noteworthy that several of their colleagues have been able to manage their finances reasonably well under these same difficult circumstances.
The release of the ECA details has also demonstrated very clearly that there is no substance in the wild allegations that any money is missing from the account or that finances of the country under Okonjo-Iweala watch have not been well managed.
Like previous baseless allegations by some Governors, the motive behind Oshiomhole’s attack is clear: to deflect public attention away from the manner in which they have run the finances of their states and make Okonjo-Iweala the scapegoat. If it was meant to intimidate the Minister, it has failed abysmally.
How can Governor Oshiomhole claim that state governors were not properly briefed on the status of the ECA when his commissioner of finance attends all the FAAC meetings where decisions are taken and communicated to the nation?
This diversionary tactic will not succeed because Nigerians are too smart to buy into this fiction. Secondly, the Finance Ministry under Okonjo-Iweala, the Minister who started the practice of publishing details of allocations from the Federation Account to all the three tiers of government, has regularly furnished Nigerians with information on the country’s finances.
Governor Oshiomhole’s statement that Okonjo-Iweala “must disclose to the nation the full details of subsidy payments made to oil marketers in the last four years” is therefore astonishing given the fact that EVERY payment made to the marketers has been published in the media and widely disseminated through all news channels.
Oshiomhole’s allegation that Okonjo-Iweala has not been transparent is ridiculous and totally lacking in merit. Apart from the monthly publication of allocations to the federal, state and local governments, the Federal Ministry of Finance under Okonjo-Iweala also publishes SURE-P receipts and distribution to different tiers, details of payments to oil marketers and other information.
Has Governor Oshiomhole demonstrated the same level of openness in his management of the affairs of Edo State? Can Oshiomhole also go public with ALL the information showing what he has received from various sources and the uses to which he has deployed them?
Equally incomprehensible – for a supposedly smart Governor - is Oshiomhole’s claim that the CME has “just woken up from her slumber to realize that oil marketers have been all along falsifying subsidy claims and defrauding the nation of billions of Naira”. This statement underscores the extent to which he is willing to go in his desperation to tar Okonjo-Iweala. When she returned as Finance Minister in 2011, the outstanding fuel subsidy bill was about N1.3 trillion. It was the work done on subsidy fraud by the Aig-Imoukhuede Committee which the Minister set up, later elevated into a presidential panel that determined that over N300 billion of the amount was fraudulent. This eventually led to the prosecution of some persons for subsidy fraud and reduction of the annual subsidy budget to N791 billion, saving the country over a trillion naira in the process. Maybe it is His Excellency who was snoring while this was going on. Such baseless posturing only serves to diminish the credibility of Oshiomhole in the minds of objective Nigerians.
For the record, Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has no apologies for insisting that a claim of N159 billion for forex differentials by the marketers out of a total bill of N200 billion should go through an additional verification process. When 80% of a subsidy claim is made up of forex differentials and not the value of the amount of fuel supplied, the right and proper thing to do is to take extra steps to ensure that the country is not being cheated. That is what Okonjo-Iweala did.
Oshiomhole’s allegation that the Minister is involved in “an unholy alliance” with government agencies and the marketers is therefore manifestly untrue and totally irresponsible. How can a minister against whom the oil marketers have conducted a very public campaign of calumny be in league with them? A decent public official should not make such scurrilous and unsubstantiated statements.
The most laughable part of Oshiomhole’s article is the claim that Okonjo-Iweala has been speaking out lately because of the “fear of Buhari”. Nigerians know this is ridiculous. If there is any minister whose voice has been strong on the right issues over the past four years it is Okonjo-Iweala. Okonjo-Iweala combines a stalwart integrity, a mastery of her mandate and the courage of her convictions. She therefore has no reason to fear. Those who cannot adequately explain what they did with the resources of their states and are begging for bailout are those who should to be scared.

Girl dies after being electrocuted by power bank.(photos)
A young Ghanaian girl identified as Blandine (pictured above) was on May 25th electrocuted to death after the power bank she was using to charge her phone got stuck on her skin and electrocuted her. According to reports from Dumsor, Ghana, the girl was chatting with a friend when she fell asleep and placed the power bank she was using to charge her phone around her breast region.

As power was restored to her area, their was a power surge, the power bank got heated and got stuck on her skin, electrocuting her to death. Her parents found her dead.
We need to be more careful with some of these electronic gadget.
May her soul rest in peace.

Footballer Stabs Mechanic To Death.
20-year-old aspiring football player from Afikpo North, Ebonyi State, Jacob pictured above has been arrested by the Lagos state Police command for killing a mechanic, Moruf Sanni by stabbing him to death over an arguement regarding age difference at Iwaya,Yaba on Monday May 25th.
According to reports, the victim, Moruf had an argument and a fight with someone in his area simply identified as 'Somebody', over who was older on Sunday May 24th. The fight was then settled by the elders in the area.
Angered by Moruf's claim that he was older and was not going to give him respect, 'Somebody' contacted his friend, Jacob to teach Moruf a lesson.
Jacob accosted the deceased in his compound and didn't teach him a lesson but stabbed him repeatedly on the neck and head and killed him. He was arrested by the residents of the area who witnessed the incident and chained to the corpse.
Father of the deceased, Mr Lukman, who is a taxi driver, said he had gone in search of fuel and as he returned, a neighbor ran to his house to inform him that somebody was fighting his son“Somebody ran to my house. He said a strange man was fighting with my son. I immediately rushed there, only to see the corpse of my son. The suspect was tied to my son’s corpse. I simply thanked him for killing my son and walked away.”The victim's mother according to a relative of the deceased lost her mind immediately she saw her son's corpse because the deceased was the second son she had lost. “February 20 of this year made it exactly 3 years that the first child of the family was killed. A police stray bullet hit him when the police came to look for some hoodlums. So, when this one happened again, their mother just ran away and has not been seen since then.”the relative saidA police source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the suspect when interrogated gave a different version of events. “He said they went for a birthday party on Sunday night and it was there they had a disagreement. The following morning, he confronted Moruf and the deceased then brought out a knife which he collected from him. He said Moruf then got a bottle and it was while he wanted to block him from using it that it mistakenly stabbed him in the neck.”the police source saidThe father of the deceased has asked for his son's body for burial but the corpse has been deposited at a mortuary while the police says they are investigating the matter.
Gov Oshiomhole vs Okonjo-Iweala Over False Subsidy Claims.
Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole yesterday came hard on the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala over the lingering fuel scarcity and her claims that oil marketers were presenting fraudulent oil subsidy claims for payment.
Speaking at a function, the Governor queried the Minister for speaking up about the falsification of claims by the oil marketers just few days after the government in which she is a minister will be leaving office. He said the Minister should take sole responsibility for any discrepancies recorded in the subsidy claims and in the Economy as a whole.
"It is quite intriguing that with barely few days left in office, she has suddenly woken up from her slumber to realize that oil marketers have all along been falsifying subsidy claims and defrauding the nation of billions of naira and dollars. The question to ask is: how come that it is now, for the first time, that we are hearing from the Minister of Finance about fraudulent claims by the oil marketers amounting to billions of Naira? At what point did the Minister of Finance and CME realize that these fraudulent and similar claims are going on? When did it start? Is it just recently or it has been going on all along? These questions are pertinent because we know that if the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) were doing its work diligently, all claims by oil marketers would be vetted on a daily basis before their payments are processed by the Ministry of Finance. Hence, there should be no dispute about the amount due to oil marketers at any point in time.What the foregoing, therefore, suggests is that all along, PPPRA, the Ministry of Finance and the oil marketers have been involved in an unholy alliance, in the mismanagement of the fuel subsidy regime and in the process defrauding the nation of its revenues. The recent nationwide fuel and energy crisis, adjudged the worst in the economic history of Nigeria, is merely a reflection of the gross mismanagement of the economy which characterized Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s tenure since 2011"he saidHe said the Price water Cooper's audit report on the NNPC revealed “massive abuse of public trust and stealing of our common patrimony in high places under her watch and the government she serves”.

>10. Herbs: One of the best ways to increase your bust size naturally is through herbs. Herbs such as fenugreek and wild yam are known to stimulate the growth of breast tissue. Saw palmetto also helps in distributing good fats to the breast to make it look bigger.
Fennel helps increase the milk production among breastfeeding moms while pueraria mirifica contains phytoestrogens that promotes fat tissues and builds up the milk ducts in the breasts.
Among all these, herbs are perhaps the most effective way to increase bust size.
MY HUSBAND KILLED OUR SON
Heartbreaking story...My ex-husband and I got married because I was pregnant. It was a stupid reason to get married, I know, but we were 23 and there was pressure from parents—basically from everyone – so we went ahead with it. John and I had been dating for about a year, and in February 2000, we were husband and wife.My pregnancy was a tough one. I was put on bed rest halfway through, and at about 33 weeks I felt something that I thought was my water breaking. The doctors said everything was fine, but when I went to an appointment a couple weeks later, they rushed me to be induced because I had no fluid left. I was just past 35 weeks when I had Jeremy, but he’d gone for two weeks with very little fluid, so it was as if he was delivered at 33 weeks.
When he was born on May 27, the doctors said Jeremy was healthy, but I noticed right away that he cried all the time. Not just cry, scream. It was 18 to 22 hours of crying every day, and John was working long hours – he was a restaurant cook – so no one was getting very much sleep. Jeremy had a lot of stomach issues and rejected every formula we tried. Plus, we were living with my parents in their small town of Zeeland, Mich., while we got on our feet. It was a stressful time. On July 3, when Jeremy was just over five weeks old, I went to get him out of his crib in the morning and his head looked funny. It was sort of pointy at the top and flat on the sides. I thought it was because we slept him on his side (it was the only way he wouldn’t cry). He didn’t seem to be in any pain, but I took him to the doctor that day to be safe. John came with me. During the appointment, I remember the doctor specifically asking, “Has the baby had any trauma?” I said no. John said no. So the doctor just said the flatness was probably due to sleeping so much on the same side, and that we should try the opposite side going forward. The next night, after we went to see the 4th of July fireworks, Jeremy wouldn’t stop crying. I stayed up most of the night with him while John slept, but eventually I was so tired I couldn’t do it anymore. I woke John up, asked if he could stay with the baby while I slept for a little, and he agreed. At 3:45, I went to sleep.Less than two hours later, at 5:30 am, John woke me up with Jeremy in his arms, panicked, saying Jeremy wasn’t breathing. I was disoriented and confused. I thought maybe something had happened related to all of the baby’s stomach problems. Or that maybe Jeremy vomited and it was stuck in his throat, or maybe it was SIDS — I didn’t know what was going on. Jeremy was, in fact, breathing, but it was very shallow. One breath every 35 seconds or so. We called 911, but because it was a small town, the police were all volunteers and it took them 15 minutes to get to our house. When they did, they started CPR and the EMTs tried to intubate him. But he was a tiny baby — a 5-week-old who’d been a preemie, so he was basically just full-term size — and they used an adult-sized tube, so they ended up ripping the lining of his throat. They put him in an ambulance and I was in the front seat, with John and my parents trailing behind, and I remember one of the EMTs calling the ER asking what dose of epi to give Jeremy because he’d stopped breathing. The ER worked on Jeremy for three hours before I got any update, but I saw him as he was wheeled past the waiting room for tests. There were tubes everywhere. He was intubated, had IVs, his eyes were shut and his head was swollen. I couldn’t believe it was my child. And I still had no idea what happened – no one had told me anything. Eventually the pediatric specialist told me that Jeremy had a skull fracture and retinal hemorrhaging, as well as some broken ribs, which might have been from the CPR. What the doctor really zeroed in on was the skull fracture, and asked if I might know how it happened. Daniel, my 2-year-old, used to have a big Tonka truck he loved to share with the baby, so I guessed that maybe he threw the truck into the crib. But the doctor said no, this injury had to have been caused by someone. I was wracking my brain, trying to think of who had held him at the 4th of July celebration. I had no idea what could have caused it, and John stood there and said nothing. Because of the skull fracture, the doctor told me they would have to call the police and Child Protective Services. I remember thinking, “Why are they calling the police? How are they going to fix Jeremy?” I still didn’t understand that someone actually hurt him. I thought it was an accident.The doctor was very cryptic with the information he gave me: I knew they were taking Jeremy for more tests, that he had a skull fracture, and that they were calling the police. That was it. Two male detectives arrived and questioned me in a hospital conference room for 45 minutes. They wanted to know everything – about my pregnancy, about what life was like at home. They asked me for my theories about what happened and I answered honestly: I didn’t know. I remember saying, “I can’t tell you because I have no clue.” John went in after me and he was in that room for four hours. I couldn’t figure out what was taking so long, but also couldn’t wrap my head around what was happening. Whose life was this? I went from having a seemingly healthy baby and happy family to one who was hooked up to tubes and a family being questioned by police in a matter of hours. Eventually, the detectives emerged from the conference room. They gave me this strange look and just said, “Your husband needs to talk to you.” So I went in, and it was just John and me, and he looked at me and said “I did it. It was me.” I didn’t understand. “You did what? What was you?” “I’m the one who caused this to happen,” he said. I just kept saying “I don’t understand,” and pretty soon the detectives walked back in. The four of us sat down at the conference table — the detectives didn’t want to leave us alone for very long, since they needed to hear everything John had to say. He tried to explain: “Jeremy was screaming and I couldn’t handle it.” John said he’d been holding Jeremy so they were facing each other, and Jeremy’s head was in his hands, and he just squeezed because he was so frustrated, and when he squeezed he fractured Jeremy’s skull. I didn’t understand how anyone could have the physical strength to do something like that with their bare hands, until one of the detectives picked up an empty box of tissues and squeezed the sides. The box crumpled pretty easily – that was what had happened, they said. John said he snapped. That he couldn’t handle the screaming anymore. I asked why he didn’t just get me, or my parents, and he said it happened before he realized what he was doing. But then the detectives told him to tell me the whole story, and it turned out that John did the same thing two nights earlier. That’s why Jeremy’s head had been misshapen. I was so confused. I said, “so when his head was flat the other morning, that had to do with you? Why didn’t you just tell the doctor?” He didn’t say anything. After that, they took John to jail. The doctors let me see Jeremy. They told me the damage was extensive – they wouldn’t know exactly what was wrong until his brain swelling went down, but they knew that he was blind and deaf, that he had lost his cough gag reflex, and that he couldn’t breathe on his own. We first called 911 around 5:30 a.m., and I went home at around 9 p.m. to get Daniel and to try and sleep. I remember sitting in the shower, just staring — not even crying — not believing that this was my life, or that I had to go back to the hospital soon to see my son who was pretty much brain-dead, at the hands of his father. My 2-year-old son Daniel had been at the neighbors’ house – he ended up having to get a full-body x-ray but luckily John, who was not his biological father, had never hurt him. That first night, he just laid in bed with me. I swear that boy saved my life that evening. I was heartbroken, and if I didn’t have him, I don’t know what I would have done. Over the next two and a half weeks, I bounced between the hospital and the court. I was still in denial about John – I couldn’t imagine that he did it – but he didn’t get bail. I only saw him face-to-face once during that time, for a half hour. I asked him to reiterate what happened, he told the same story.Meanwhile, Jeremy was being kept alive by machines. The doctors were encouraging me to sign a DNR, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It felt like signing a death wish. But 11 days after he got hurt, Jeremy’s breathing tube fell out while he was getting a bath. We ended up not putting it back in, and while he did breathe on his own, he needed to be constantly suctioned because saliva would build up, and he was on a feeding tube. A few days later, the doctors told me I needed to call hospice. As it turned out, we never got that far. On July 22, 2000, Jeremy died. His breathing was slow and labored, and while I’d been telling him to fight for a couple of weeks, this time I just looked at him and said, “It’s ok, you can go.” Within two minutes, he was gone. It was the most painful and most beautiful moment of my life. It had been a gray and cloudy day, and the minute he died, the sun come out. He was no longer in any pain. John ended up being charged with second-degree murder. He pled guilty, and the case never went to trial. After he was sentenced – 17 to 33 years – I filed divorce papers. By then, I had accepted that he had killed Jeremy. My therapist said I was compartmentalizing, that for a while I couldn’t focus on John’s role in what happened because I was entirely concentrated on being there for my son. But after Jeremy died, I had a lot of anger. A lot. John and I had gone through rough patches, but I never in a million years thought he was capable of something like this. He was never aggressive or rough. If anything, I was the aggressive one. It became incredibly hard to trust anyone. Heidi with her son Daniel who is now 17 and Lexi who is 13During that time, I met my now-husband, Mark, and I gave birth to our daughter, Lexi, in November 2001. For the first eight weeks of her life, I barely let Mark touch her. He’s been a saint with everything I’ve been through, and it’s been hard for me to trust my kids in the care of other people. But we’ve since moved to Texas, and it was the best thing for us. I haven’t been back to Michigan since I left. John’s 17 years will be up in two years. I’m told he’ll likely get out then for good behavior, but I’m going to fight it. I think he should serve the full 33 years. I don’t get to have Jeremy back, so why should he not have to serve his entire sentence? Jeremy would have been 15 today. Every morning I wake up and think of him, but the days get easier and easier, and a decade and a half later the pain isn’t constant. May is hard, since it’s Jeremy’s birthday. July is hard, since it’s when he died. But every May and every July, the kids and my new husband save my life all over again. I couldn’t do it without them.

Thank God ohhhhhh....Oil Marketers have agreed to call of the strike.

SHOCKING: 24Year old accountant murdered by ritualists in Port Harcourt
24 year old Anita Oluchi Okore, a graduate of Banking and Finance from Abia state University (pictured above) was murdered a few weeks ago in Port Harcourt by men believed to be ritualists. According to a family member, Ada, who is based in Ebonyi, had gone to see her older sister in Port Harcourt when she unfortunately ran into these men. Ada had called her dad to tell him she was about to enter a bus that will take her from the park to her sister's house. She later called her dad, informing him that she was the only woman in the bus with three men and they were taking her somewhere other than her destination. Her father said he asked to speak with the men which he did and pleaded with them to free his daughter but all his plea fell on deaf ears as the men told him that they were not looking for a ransom and returned the phone back to his daughter. That was the last anyone heard from Anita...
Many weeks later, investigations by the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), in Port Harcourt and the police, using Anita's call log, led to the arrest of the three men in a hotel where they were lavishing N1.5 million paid by their clients for the body parts of Anita. They led the investigating team to the dump site where they kept the body Anita with her vital body organs cut off.
She was buried on Thursday, May 7th, 2015, in Eziobasi, Amodu Ututu, in Arochukwu LGA of Abia State, after a funeral service held at the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Umule Parish, Aba.
Ifeanyi Ubah’s Capital Oil Breaks Fuel Supply Deadlock, Begins Product Distribution Nationwide
Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, on Sunday opened his fuel storage facility in Lagos and began pumping the product to end the lingering crisis in the oil sector that had resulted in the prevailing fuel scarcity nationwide.
Ubah said he took the step in response to call for patriotism and the desire to end the suffering of Nigerians whom he said had been paying from their noses to access petroleum products.
The businessman, who was also leader of the pro-PDP campaign group in the last general election, Transformation Agenda of Nigeria (TAN), said in a statement on Sunday in Lagos that he decided to shelve the ongoing strike by major oil marketers to save the Nigerian economy from collapsing.
This is the full text of the statement…
Good day Ladies and Gentlemen of the press!
On Saturday 16th May 2015, we received an SMS ordering the suspension of loading activities in all depots from Monday 18th May 2015. We later realized that this directive was as a result of unpaid funds owed to transporters by oil marketers who in turn are owed by the Federal Government.
This development has resulted in immense hardship to our fellow country men and women. We believe that a better solution can be pursued towards solving this problem in a way that does not adversely affect our dear citizens.
Capital Oil and Gas has watched with so much pain, the suffering and hardship our citizens have been subjected to as a result of scarcity of petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and house hold kerosene.
We are deeply pained to hear that hospitals cannot perform surgeries, laboratories are unable to carry out much needed tests especially for emergency patients leaving such patients at risk of dying, radio stations are shutting down, communication is being affected as MTN and other telecommunications company have announced an impending shut down while homes, offices and key facilities nationwide are experiencing blackouts.
In some parts of the country, petrol is already selling at an all-time high of N1,000 per litre.
Our citizens have left their homes and are now sleeping in fuel stations, facing the risk of robbery attacks and other attendant risk.
In a few days’ time, a new government headed by General Muhamadu Buhari will be sworn in.
Apart from our citizens being unable to watch the handover on television and unavailability of transportation for attendees of this historic handover, the resulting chaos from this scarcity may shutdown the Nation and sabotage the efforts Nigeria has made to attain greater heights.
We are constrained at this point and have decided that two wrongs cannot make a right. We will not be part of this sabotage against our fatherland.
Therefore from this minute, we shall take the risk of opening our facilities and commence swift loading and distribution of products nationwide.
Our facility has the capacity to load over 13 million litres of product before dawn.
This comes to approximately 400 trucks of petroleum products. With this act, it is our belief that once again our citizens will begin to smile, return to normal family and work life. We call on other petroleum marketers to follow suit and save our Nation from this impending economic and social crisis.
This is a period that requires patriotism and service to fatherland. Let’s join hands to help our fellow citizens and save Nigeria. We also call on striking bodies to call off the strike action. Let us work together for the betterment of our people.
As we brief you this moment, our truck park, port reception facilities and our depot complex have been ordered opened. We are ordering and resuming discharge of products from vessels at our berths. We have ordered our trucks to commence loading of products and move overnight to every state of the Federation.
Most importantly, we wish to use this medium to thank NNPC and PPMC for their steadfastness in ensuring the availability of petroleum products.
Current PPMC stock level in our storage tanks and buffer stock on vessels awaiting discharge at our jetty is capable of meeting the Nation’s need for 15 days.
Furthermore, we wish to emphasis that we have a total solution to the traffic menace on the oshodi apapa expressway.
In the coming weeks, we hope to engage the Federal Government (Federal Ministry of Transport), Lagos State Government and other stakeholders in the affected area, to optimally utilize our truck park facilities which has the capacity to accommodate over 1,100 trucks per time and 5,000 on a shift basis.
Capital Oil and Gas continues to appeal to Nigerians to accept and support deregulation as this will curb corruption, enhance competition, lead to reduction of pump price for petroleum products and ensure constant supply to meet Nigeria’s demand.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
