Why Is Lekki Gardens MD In Prison and TB Joshua Walking Freely? - OAP Freeze Blows Hot

Following the high profile collapse of a building in Lekki, popular On Air Personalities, Freeze, has waded into the matter with an interesting point.

The popular OAP Freeze criticized the decision of the government to quickly arraign and publicly humiliate the Managing Director of Lekki Gardens and his contractor who was handling the project of the collpased building while allowing other people with equally heinous 'crime' walk free.

 

The controversial OAP, took to his Instagram to post the photo above of the Lekki Gardens MD and his conractor wearing handcuffs in court, and then followed it up with the words below:

 

What really is Justice???

I have no qualms seeing a young man who committed a crime pay for that crime. Life is sad, before Richard came along, you could not dream of buying a house in LEKKI for 20million naira, his dream was to make choice housing affordable and available. Somewhere down the line mistakes were made and lives were lost! And yes I agree...... Someone must pay! 

Now my questions;

Why is he in handcuffs and remanded in prison when that 'prophet' whose building collapsed and killed more people than Ebola, Lassa fever and this alleged 'LEKKI gardens' put together is walking free??? Why is that prophet not in handcuffs too??? It was even alleged, that he didn't show up in court the last time the courts sat. Is this true??? If it is true, then why is Richard 'remanded' in prison while Mr prophet 'comes from home'??? Is there a special court for 'prophets' or do we have special 'laws' for them???

Is our government afraid of prophets???

Are the people who lost their lives in the Church less valuable than the people who lost their lives in the LEKKI Gardens saga?

My humble advice: Richard should be released to go home and attend hearings from home like the 'prophet'. Or the 'prophet' should be picked up, handcuffed and locked in the same cell with Richard while he attends trial! 

Or does the change we voted for include turning Nigeria into the African version of George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', where "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others?"

I might not know law and justice, but I definitely know injustice! 

I appeal to everyone to lend their voice to this and ensure we have 'JUSTICE FOR ALL'.

An Anglican Priest and 14 Others Die in Fatal Crash in Delta State

A fatal car accident in Delta State has claimed the life of an Anglican priest along with fourteen other people.

 

The death of an Anglican Priest identified as Rev. Stanley has been announced.

 

Rev. Stanley's death has sent residents of Ibusa community and its environs in Delta State into agony and sorrow, as he was reportedly involved in a fatal accident after crashing his Toyota Camry marked AA 174 SKL into two commercial buses, marked AA 126ASB and AA 146 ASB which had collided at Ibusa, leaving them and 14 other persons dead on the spot.

 

The cleric died on the spot, while the wife who was with him sustained minor injuries.

An eyewitness, Mathew Nwanaza, said the priest had just concluded a church service in Asaba and was rushing to Ibusa to meet with his family when the accident occurred.

A resident, who did not want his name mentioned, said the accident might have occurred due to recklessness of the drivers.

The Federal Road Safety Corps boss, Mr. Random Kulven, told journalists that those who sustained injuries were taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, for treatment.

While blaming the crash on the drivers’ recklessness, Kulven said the accident occurred around 8:30pm in the night after the drivers undermined road signs.

Horror! Beauty Queen Gets Stabbed in the Neck by Her Boyfriend While She Was Having a Bath (Photos)

A beautiful young woman has been put in a critical state after her boyfriend charged at her in the bathroom and stabbed her in the neck.

 

Macarena Ardit

 

A model is fighting for her life after her boyfriend allegedly stabbed her in the neck while she was having a bath.

 

The young lady, Macarena Ardit, 23, is believed to have been stabbed by Mauricio Suligoy, 27, after the couple had an argument.

 

Suligoy, who has since been arrested on domestic violence charges, is said to have turned up at Ardit's house in a rage after the couple rowed on the phone.

 

Prosecutor Ruben Martinez, who is leading the investigation of the case, said Suligoy went to confront Ardit at her home after the argument.

 

Her friend opened the door to allow Suligoy in to the property and says she saw him leave the house a short time later.

 

 

When the friend subsequently went upstairs, she discovered Macarena lying in a pool of blood.

 

Ardit was rushed to hospital where medics managed to save her life after emergency surgery lasted several hours. She remains in intensive care.

 

Prosecutor Martinez added that "from the beginning we knew who the attacker was" and therefore the police started a search operation to find and arrest him.

 

Suligoy's father Gustavo is said to have convinced him to deliver himself to the police. He had been hiding in a rural area in the Vera department and two days after the attack he gave himself up.

 

Ardit had only recently taken part as a contestant in the Queen of Surubi beauty contest in the city of Reconquista, Argentina.

60-year-old Monarch Arrested by NDLEA with 12kg Cannabis in Nasarawa State (Photo)

A village head who was suppose to live by example has been apprehended by the NDLEA for cultivating and selling cannabis in a Nassarawa State's community.

The men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Nasarawa State on Friday apprehended the 60-year-old village head of Koje community in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of the state, for allegedly cultivating and harvesting 12kg Indian hemp otherwise called cannabis sativa in his farm land.

While parading the suspect, Mr. Samuel Agu  at the command office in Lafia, the state capital, the NDLEA commander in the state, Mr. Sumaila Ethan, said, “On March 4, 2016, we arrested Mr. Samuel Agu, the village head with bags of cannabis sativa weighing about12 kg.

“The village head confessed that he had been getting the supply of the cannabis seeds from a Fulani herdsman, the weed seized from him was the remnant of what he harvested from his farm.

“The village head, who is expected to live an exemplary life style that is worthy of emulation, was the same person selling cannabis for consumption.”

He, however, expressed worry on how those entrusted with the responsibilities of deterring criminality in their various domains end up getting involved in it, describing it as ungodly and unfortunate.

“It is pertinent to alert the people of the state and the whole world that, there is an alarming increase in the activities of illicit barons in the state particularly those entrusted with positions of leadership in our rural communities,” he added.

Ethan also said that from January 2016 to date, the command had arrested 28 suspects in the state and about 460kg of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances were also seized.

"Out of the number, seven drug barons were successfully prosecuted and convicted at the Federal High Court, Lafia while 10 others were successfully rehabilitated. Other cases are ongoing at the Federal High Court, Lafia,” he said.

Sleeping Too Much Could Cause You to Go Blind - Shocking New Research Reveals

If you are the kind of person who sleeps a lot, then you might want to reconsider as a disturbing new study has revealed grave consequences associated with it.

 

 

Sleeping too much could cause you to go blind, eye doctors have warned.

 

Hitting the snooze button too often could damage your eyesight as research has revealed that getting more than eight hours a night can lead to macular degeneration - the leading cause for blindness in the UK.

 

Those who sleep in longer are also seven times more likely to suffer from geographic atrophy, the advanced stages of the condition.

 

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. It’s the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over age 60 .

 

While there’s no pain, it sees a deterioration of the macula - the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail - makes driving and reading near impossible.

 

Research by doctor Rahul N. Khurana, of the Northern California Retina Vitreous Associates, assessed patients with and without the disease.

 

Dr Khurana surveyed 1003 patients and assessed their sleep patterns, publishing his findings in the journal Retina.

 

He said: “The mean sleep duration for patients without AMD was 7.97 hours, compared with 8.17 hours, 9.00 hours, and 8.97 hours, respectively, for those with early AMD, neovascular AMD, and geographic atrophy.

“The altered sleep patterns illustrate another morbidity that patients with AMD suffer from, and merit further investigation.”

 

These findings come after scientists found that sleeping face down on your pillow could also lead to sight loss.

 

Pressing your face into a pillow while you sleep could cause a condition called glaucoma, which worryingly goes undiagnosed in thousands of people every year.

 

Glaucoma occurs when a fluid in the eye called aqueous humour fails to drain properly, putting pressure on the optic nerve which can cause the nerve fibres inside to die off and lead to sight loss.

 

The study - carried out by John Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA - tested the effect of pillow pressure on the eyes of its subjects over an eight-hour sleep period.

 

It found sleeping with one side of the face and one eye pressed into a pillow can cause ‘sustained deformation’ of that eye in patients with glaucoma.

 

Lead researcher Dr. Alison Flatau said that deformation of the eye while sleeping might block outflow of aqueous humour which in turns leads to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

 

She added: “If stress and strain from elevated IOP are bad for eyes with glaucoma, stress and strain from being compressed by a pillow might also be bad for eyes with glaucoma.

“On average, glaucoma eye responses did not fully return to baseline levels after moving from face down to supine, but control eyes did."

 

Dr. Flatau also added that those with ‘prominent’ noses or cheekbones, which prevent direct contact with a pillow, might prevent sleep position-induced deformation of the eye, while those with small cheekbones and a tiny nose are more likely to suffer.

 

Laser eye surgeon Dr. Allamby, founder and medical director of Focus Clinic, said: “Glaucoma is a silent killer when it comes to the eyes.

“Sufferers often don’t know they have it until they’re already losing their vision.

“And what this study shows is that people could be making the condition worse - effectively speeding up the damage - by simply sleeping in the wrong position.

“This slight increase of pressure on the optic nerve could have significant repercussions in those susceptible to nerve damage.”

 

Early diagnosis of glaucoma is vital in saving a patient’s vision, whether treatment is through eye drops, laser treatment or surgery.

 

Dr. Allamby recommends regular, in-depth eye examinations by an optometrist at least once every two years for those in their 40s.

172 Nigerians Deported from Libya

Many Nigerians illegally living in Libya have been ejected from the country after being found guilty of overstaying their welcome.

The Libyan Government on Friday deported 172 Nigerians over several immigration irregularities according to the Nation.

The deportees arrived the hajj camp area of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport around 7:00am comprising 166 males and six females.

The Public Relations Officer, Nigeria Immigration Service(NIS), Mr. Ekpedeme King confirmed the deportation with a correspondent on phone, but could not give the registration number of the aircraft that brought them into the country.

The deportees were repatriated into the country with chartered aircraft from Libya.

The returnees were received by various agencies such as Immigration that checked their identities to ascertain their nationalities, Police, National Agency for Protection and Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, and other relevant stakeholders.

As at the time of filing this report, the returnees had moved away from the Lagos Airport to their various destinations. King told a correspondent that the deportees were returned to the country for overstaying their visas in Libya and other immigration offenses in the North African country.

He said, “What I can tell you is that some Nigerians were deported today (yesterday) for immigration offences. Most of those brought overstayed Libya.

One of the deportees, who simply identified himself as Chris claimed that he traveled out of Nigeria about two years ago in search of greener pastures.

He however insisted that he didn’t commit any crime in Libya that would warrant his deportation back to Nigeria.

Last November, about 76 Nigerians were deported from three European countries including United Kingdom.

Presidency Apologises to Nigerians Over Nationwide Blackout

The federal government has apologised to Nigerians for the persistent power failures, blaming the situation on gas failure as well as sabotage and vandalisation of power infrastructure.

Lai Mohammed

 

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Segun Adeyemi, special adviser to Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, the President Buhari-led federal government has apologised to Nigerians for the persistent power failures, blaming the situation on gas failure as well as sabotage and vandalisation of power infrastructure.

 

The federal government said that all efforts were being made to rectify the situation and ensure a gradual improvement in the power situation.

 

"There will be a decent improvement in the power situation from this weekend, thanks to ongoing remedial efforts that will double the current power supply to 4,000WM. Getting back to the 5,074MW all-time high that was reached earlier will take a few more weeks," Mohammed said.

 

The minister said that at a time the routine maintenance by the Nigeria Gas Company had affected the supply of gas to power stations, forcing down power supply from an all-time high of 5,074 MW to about 4,000MW, a combination of unsavoury incidents further crashed the power supply to about half that figure.

"The vandalisation of the Forcados export pipelines forced oil companies to shut down, making it impossible for them to produce gas. Then, workers at the Ikeja DISCOS, who were protesting the disengagement of some of their colleagues after they failed the company’s competency test, apparently colluded with the National Transmission Station in Osogbo to shut down transmission.

"Finally, the unfortunate strike by the unions at the NNPC, over the restructuring of the corporation, shut down the Itarogun power station, the biggest in the country. Due to these factors, only 13 out of the 24 power stations in the country are currently functioning. It is this same kind of unsavoury situation that has affected fuel supply and subjected Nigerians to untold hardship."

 

The minister condemned the situation in which some Nigerians, under the guise of the various unions in the oil and gas sector or sheer vandalisation, would continuously sabotage the country’s power infrastructure.

 

"The bitter truth is that for as long as these groups of Nigerians continue to sabotage the power infrastructure, Nigerians cannot enjoy a decent level of power supply. We therefore admonish all Nigerians who may be agitating for their rights in whatever form to refrain from any action that will further hurt the same people they claim to be protecting," he added.
