A dedicated family man and respected personality in his community, Pai Grande was described as “a complete human being” who was an advocate for education. Speaking to VOA in 2015, Sabalo, who said it was his wish for some of his children to take up careers in science and technology, revealed he spent over $1,500 on school supplies annually.
Three of his daughters currently are studying medical sciences and two sons are learning computer science, all at the high school level.
During the funeral, his first wife vowed to do everything she can to keep the family together as per her husband’s wish.
“I will do anything to keep his children fed and OK,” she told VOA.
Pai Grande’s family live on subsistence farming, growing crops and rearing livestock. They also generate revenue from their sales.

All we keep hearing daily is “STAY AT HOME”.The rich wants the poor to stay home to avoid the spread of Corvid19, but HUNGER VIRUS won’t allow the poor to stay home.We can only control d spread of d virus when the rich helps the poor by providing enough food to stay at home.
Two main pandemics at the moment we are fighting……
1. Coronavirus
2. Hunger virus.
Two main group of people at the moment fighting the the pandemics…… 1. The Rich and
2. The poor.
The the global irony and the African outlook…… The rich is afraid of the virus.
The poor is afraid of hunger.
The rich wants the poor to stay home to avoid the spread, but hunger won’t allow the poor to stay home.
The poor fears that if they stay home, the hunger virus will kill them.
The rich fears that if they also come out of their homes the coronavirus will kill them……. What a delicate situation we have ……… Opinion:
In other to restore the world or Nigeria to it’s normal social equilibrium.
The rich should assist the poor with food, so that they can stay at home.
When the rich succeeds in keeping the poor at home by providing enough food.
The spread of the coronavirus which the rich fears the most will be chased out!
This is common sense…..Yet because some people have the microphones, all you hear is …… “stay at home”………. “stay at home” .
How can they stay at home when the hunger virus is at home.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, has issued an order for the arrest of two policemen caught on video fighting each other in Edo State.
In the 1:36 minute long video shared on Twitter by @parodyspokesman, the two policemen are seen fighting while some persons try to hold them back.
A tweet by the verified Twitter handle of the Nigeria Police, @PoliceNG, on Thursday evening, identified the two cops as Corporal Ozimende Aidonojie (F/NO.491112) and Constable Salubi Stephen (F/NO.516384).
The message by the Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, DCP Frank Mba revealed that the policemen are currently in detention and facing disciplinary action.

“The Force wishes to apprise the general public that this show of shame is certainly not in our character and we will not condone such indiscipline.
“In the best tradition of transparency and accountability, the outcome of the trial will be made public. This, we believe, will also serve as deterrent to other police officers.”
Three medical doctors at the Alimosho General Hospital and Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, have tested positive for COVID-19.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the Medical Guild in Lagos, signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the guild, Dr Oluwajimi Sodipo and Dr Ismail Ajibowo respectively. The Medical Guild is an umbrella body of doctors under the employment of the Lagos State Government.
According to the statement, the three affected doctors have been admitted at different isolation facilities in Lagos for treatment and are in stable conditions. The statement added that doctors at Alimosho General Hospital, Ikorodu General Hospital, Lagos General Hospital and Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) have also been exposed to COVID-19 cases and have been tested for the ravaging virus.
”Since the incidents, we have been working with our Reps in those centres and the Medical Directors to ensure testing of those involved, with a plan for care in the unfortunate incident of positive cases. We regrettably want to inform that we have 3 colleagues who have tested positive ( from Alimosho and LASUTH) and they have been admitted at the various isolation centres. Thankfully they are all stable as we speak.
The Guild has been providing support to them while we await results from other centres.” the statement in part reads
The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, on Thurday April 23, disclosed that 40 medical personnel have tested positive for the novel virus.
The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford.
Two volunteers were injected out of more than 800 people recruited for the study.
Elisa Granato, pictured above, is a scientist and was the first volunteer to be injected. Elisa said she volunteered because she wanted to try to support the scientific process.
Half of those who volunteered will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus.
The design of the trial means volunteers will not know which vaccine they are getting, though doctors will.
The vaccine was developed in under three months by a team at Oxford University.
Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, led the pre-clinical research.
“Personally I have a high degree of confidence in this vaccine,” she said.
“Of course, we have to test it and get data from humans. We have to demonstrate it actually works and stops people getting infected with coronavirus before using the vaccine in the wider population,” she added.
The Coronavirus vaccine is made from a weakened version of a common cold virus (known as an adenovirus) from chimpanzees that has been modified so it cannot grow in humans, according to BBC.
The Oxford team has already developed a vaccine against Mers, another type of coronavirus, using the same approach – and that had promising results in clinical trials.
The only way the Oxford team will know if the Covid-19 vaccine works is by comparing the number of people who get infected with coronavirus in the coming months from the two arms of the trial.
That could be a problem if cases fall rapidly in the UK, because there may not be enough data.
Prof Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who is leading the trial, said: “We’re chasing the end of this current epidemic wave. If we don’t catch that, we won’t be able to tell whether the vaccine works in the next few months. But we do expect that there will be more cases in the future because this virus hasn’t gone away.”
The vaccine researchers are prioritising the recruitment of local healthcare workers into the trial as they are more likely than others to be exposed to the virus.
A larger trial, of about 5,000 volunteers, will start in the coming months and will have no age limit.
The Oxford team is also considering a vaccine trial in Africa, possibly in Kenya, where the rates of transmission are growing from a lower base.
The trial volunteers will be carefully monitored in the coming months. They have been told that some may get a sore arm, headaches or fevers in the first couple of days after vaccination.
They are also told there is a theoretical risk that the virus could induce a serious reaction to coronavirus, which arose in some early Sars animal vaccine studies.
But the Oxford team says its data suggests the risk of the vaccine producing an enhanced disease is minimal.
Another team at Imperial College London hopes to begin human trials of its coronavirus vaccine in June.
The Oxford and Imperial teams have received more than £40m of government funding.

George Mambezi, the father who has gone viral for unleashing anger on his son who failed to sit for Maths and English exams, scored poorly in other courses and got an ‘A’ grade in music despite spending $21,000 on his school fees, has a word for everyone
Mambezi who is reportedly a top staff at a multi-national Telecommunications company in Zambia, responded to ‘human rights activists’ who have been criticising him for ‘disciplining’ his son.
George, in a letter addressed to a Zambian blog, has now responded to the criticism’s, according to him, only he can decide how best to discipline his son as he was brought up in the village and his Christian religion permits him to discipline his child.
Read his response below ;
“First of all Bambino is my son and I have the right to discipline him, am a staunch Christian and an advocate for human rights.”
”In as much as I can slap my son, it’s all because of love and me wanting the best for him.
I cannot kill him or feed him snakes if he requested for fish. I grew up in the village and am one of the few people that were privileged to acquire a sound education and I would want to pass that legacy to the next generation.”
”The Bible clearly says spare the rod spoil the child in Proverbs 13:24. I won’t let my child eat ma 2V in the name of human rights therefore if you think I was wrong , go to the relevant authorities and process the adoption papers for him.”
”Let’s see if you will be happy seeing him walk in the streets singing for K2 like Fly Jay and Lawino after spending $21,000 on tuition.”
A Nigerian man who is a fan of Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie has called her out for being rude and disrespectful after he met her in the U.S.A.
According to the man, he was in a supermarket when Mercy walked in. An African American guy excitedly walked up to her and asked for a photo but Mercy rudely shoved him off without even acknowledging him.
She was out shopping when the guy met her and she exhibited this alleged rude behaviour.
Another Nigerian guy nearby, a journalist known as Babalola, narrated what happened to blogger Kemi Ashefon.
Babalola said, “you people should be talking to your Nollywood stars. I just ran into Mercy Johnson at one African store in Randallstown, MD about 10 minutes ago.
One black American guy, apparently married to a Nigerian, asked MJ for a photograph together, she declined and talked rudely to the guy.
“I don’t know you,” she told the guy and rebuffed explanation by the guy that it was his wife who knows her. She waived the guy.
The black guy was muttering over the way she treated him all through while we were at the check-out counter. Not that she must agree to having to take photos with him but there are polite ways to reject such without being seen to be rude. She’s a star for God’s sake!
“Thank God I’m not the type that asked for photographs she could have been rude to me too. I was elated to see her because she’s one of my favorite Nigerian actresses. Maybe she’s touchy because she appears to be pregnant. She was in company with her little girl.”
A Nigerian man is being hailed as a “good man” after he returned 100,000 Naira that fell from a woman’s bag while she was on a bike in Anambra state.
Kimberly Ezeike narrated how he was driving when he saw a bike rider speed past him with a passenger. Almost immediately, a nylon fell from the bike, and he said he picked it up and noticed it was money.
The following day being a market day in his town, he went to the market, making inquiries about the bike guy, who then later directed him to the woman who owns the money.
He said the woman was so grateful that she tried to reward him for his kindness but he wouldn’t accept any reward because he did it for God.
Facebook users have left comments to praise him and call him a good man.
Narrating what transpired, Kimberly wrote: “I don’t Know that people will still be careless with money at this point of hunger and poverty in Nigeria.
“Yesterday 20th April I was driving home in my country-side, when a bike (okada man) passed me, not up to a pole I saw a black nilon that have a small opening, I then saw few 1k note, I stopped and picked it up. Then when I got home I opened it and counted it, it was 100,000 naira.
“Because yesterday was my town’s Market day (Nkwo Igbo) and these women do not know what is lockdown. Tho I do see the bike man but don’t really know his name,his number or where he is from. I started looking for him describing to people who I am looking for, until someone who knows me gave me his phone number.
“I called and ask him few questions he told me that, the woman he was carrying at that time, is his customer he called her (mama Ebube or Mama Semi) that she deals on red oil by gallons. He further said that she was looking for her money and ordered him to take her back to her town Ekwulobia, to check if she left it there . I said to him to give her my number. He said why? I told him that I picked some money after they overtake me in the morning and no one is coming from front or back, so I guessed she is the owner.
“Not up to 5 minutes I started receiving calls from different numbers. I told them to come to Our Lady of Fatima Church and call me. In less than 30 minutes she, her husband, 2 of her neighbors and 2 more people came.
“So when I went there after much verification questions again as I did on phone earlier, her answers were very accurate on how the money was kept and set by denominations, I handed the money over to her, she busted in tears and gave me 5k I said no do not worry. She gave me the whole money and said, “take how much you think that is good”…… I said to her, please ma I do not need any reward, what I did is for God.
She started shouting and singing and her shouting started attracting passers by, I left.
“This is a very critical time for every common Nigerian. But do not let the condition change who you are or what you decide in life. always believe that yours will come in a more better way, because the best will come with tomorrow.”
The WHO Official is reportedly the third official of the International health agency to test positive for Coronavirus in the state.
