Founder and spiritual leader of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Olumba Olumba Obu has strongly disagreed with Christians on death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The spiritual leader who called on Christians and non-Christians to love one another and flee violence, corruption, hatred and respect their leaders so that peace and progress can begin to set in, stated that Jesus died on Thursday as against the popular Good Friday that is currently being celebrated all over the world.
Olumba Olumba Obu who disagreed with Christians on death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in his sermon to mark the Easter festivities in Calabar yesterday, said; “I am declaring to the whole world from the highest heaven that He died for three days and three nights, just as He said. The three days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These three days should be wonderful days for the whole world, to fast and to mourn and to receive blessing.
“People argue that the Lord Jesus Christ was killed on Friday. This is the argument against that assertion:- If He died on Friday, then He is not the one. What you hear is what He said before it ever happened. That is why we usually preach this gospel at a time like this every year.
“I thank God immensely that the Lord Jesus Christ has openly made the declaration that He will only die for three days and three nights. I have already told you that this week is a wonderful one.
“The feast of the Passover was always celebrated on Friday. All the Jews from all parts of the world had to assemble in Jerusalem for the Passover feast on Friday. Saturday was observed as the Sabbath day, and you know how the Jews regarded the Sabbath day.
“How then would He have been crucified on Friday? That was the day of the great feast of the Passover and so they could not have crucified Him on Friday. It was because they were afraid that there would be an uproar among the people if He was crucified on Friday, the feast day. That is why His death was shifted two days backwards.
“On Thursday morning, at 6:00 a.m., he was condemned to death. From that time till Thursday evening was one day. 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday was the second day. 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday was the third day. The night of Thursday was one night. The night of Friday was the second night; and the night of Saturday was the third night. And so altogether you have three days and three nights.
“How would you compute yours? The whole of Christendom, and the so-called orthodox churches argue that He was crucified on Friday, and so they refer to that day as Good Friday. I want them to count with me whether they would have three days and three nights.”

Jlissa Austin, 30, from Houston, Texas, stands at just three feet four inches tall and says she thought she was destined to be alone, until she met the love of her life, Johnathon Shorter.

A woman born with no arms, knees and just seven toes who was told she wouldn’t make her 18th birthday has revealed her joy at planning her wedding.
Jlissa Austin, 30, from Houston, Texas, stands at just three feet four inches tall and says she thought she was destined to be alone, until she met the love of her life, Johnathon Shorter.
The entrepreneur, who runs her own weave company, has defied all the odds stacked against her even learning to type and brush her teeth with her toes.
And the happy couple say they’re just like any other, with Jlissa’s disabilities not affecting their love life.
Jlissa and Johnathan, who is a five foot six inch-tall able-bodied man, share an apartment together in Houston and are currently planning their dream wedding for the summer.
Jlissa said: ‘Me and Johnathan are very good together. We’re so in tune.
‘I didn’t think it would ever happen to me – meeting someone like this. It feels so good to know that Johnathan is by my side.
‘When people see us walking around together, some of them shake Johnathan’s hand and say “I salute you, you’re doing a good job”. But we don’t experience issues with people judging our relationship too much thankfully.
‘We’re both really looking forward to our wedding, now.’
Johnathan mainly helps Jlissa with eating, getting in and out of cars and reaching things that are too high for her in their apartment.
Johnathan said: ‘Jlissa is a great person and a great friend. She is so lovable.
‘We are a complete team now. We met 13 years ago through mutual friends. We became friends at the start and then just grew to love each other.
She feels settled and comfortable with her daily routine, doing the majority of things herself and with a little help from Johnathan, there’s nothing she feels like she can’t achieve.

The Elated Young Woman said ;
Relevance has always been a measure of one’s value and to add value to ones life, one must pursue interest and goals with vigour.
My name is Franka Anyama Undie a Cross River State indigene.
I grew up in a family where we have to compete for everything, — _compete for who was the best in academics, House chores and board games_ .
I developed a passion for technology, business, management, arithmetic and record computation which led me to studying Accountancy as my first degree.
During my degree program, I was very active in many facets of University life. I completed a number of voluntary internship on holidays, working for small business owners.
This gave me an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
I also conducted a number of personal community development projects like organizing free ICT training, giving motivational talks in colleges, organizing health campaigns and bringing together a team to ensure environmental sanitation is properly carried out in my community.
Interestingly, none of these community development services hindered my educational pursuit as I bagged a second class upper upon graduation.
I believe that anything one dreams of, there is just a helper away, we just need the right scenario and connection, and anything can be achieved.
With determination and the right people to encourage you and guide you, one can achieve a great amount of success that will bring a positive change to the society.
I continually aspire growth and development which is why I applied and got admissions into eleven different schools for the 2019/2020 academic session.
I wanted to make sure I am the best. I wanted to prove to myself that I was worthy enough and anyone who wants to help me actualize my life’s goal will also see in me the same potentials I see in myself – _Determination and excellence_ .
Out of all the courses I feel so passionate about _the Masters of Science Information Technology with Business and Management_ offered at University of Sussex, maybe because of what it encompasses and how it accurately fits into my career goals and ambitions.
My desire to study abroad stems from a dearth of equivalent professional programs offered in Nigeria. The future of technology, business, appropriate data management and financial reports in Nigeria will demand a workforce with a specialized skill set.
With the sponsorship which I seek, I will be able to actualize my academic/career goal and dream of acquiring the requisite academic training which would position me to meet this emerging career/workplace demand and also pioneer the architecture, management and protection of business and companies in Nigeria.

A Kenyan woman on April 19, shared a CCTV footage of her house help beating her 2-year-old daughter with a carpet brush because she vomited on the sofa.
Read below:
“On this video, this is my daughter Amani,she is 2 and 1/2 years old and the other is Praxides Lumiti Vicheti, the nanny from hell. On 12th March 2019, i saw a footage from my CCTV as my daughter was being brutally beaten with a carpet brush simply because she had vomitted on the Sofa. First, my daughter was sick, the previous day we were from hospital and sadly my daughter was diagnosed with ulcers(God knows how long this torture had been happening for my daughter to be so stressed).
We rushed back home and quickly fired the nanny without looking at the full footage. We should have called the police! I know!!!!!I swear its always hard to explain the decisions we make while on panic mode. Finally after the lady left we reviewed the footage and my heart still breaks when i see what my daughter went through. So we decided to just use legal means to get justice for our daughter. We reported the matter and finally began the journey to tracking and arresting her.
We finally arrested her in parklands where she was working( thank you Viola Ayoo for pretending you knew nothing till we came with the police). On arresting her, we came to know that a few days after leaving my house she had a job at Phenom Estate and later on left for Parklands. This DMs have a huge demand.
She was taken to court and is finally out on bond but i wouldn’t be suprised if she is working for another lady who knows nothing about the devil she welcomed to her home.
This is my point, what ever happened to my daughter is irreversible and hopefully she will be well helthwise. Its my sole duty to ensure that no other child goes through this or even worse.
Kindly share and save a child from this monster nannies.
*She is out on bond stay woke my sisters!!!!

Maisie Williams, who starred as Arya in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, has opened up about going nude for the first time in the series.
A scene of episode 2 of the season finale had Arya and Gendry (Joe Dempsie) engaging in Coitus and the idea was for her to have a taste of sex since they knew death was coming their way due to the increasing winter.
Speaking of how she felt when she first heard she will be playing a sex scene, Maisie Williams said:
‘At first, I thought it was a prank. I was like, “Yo, good one,”’ she joked, admitting that Sophie Turner (who plays sister Sansa Stark) was the first to tell her after reading the scripts faster than her.
She was however put at ease by the show-runners.
‘David and Dan were like: “You can show as much or as little as you want”,’ she continued to
Entertainment Weekly. ‘So I kept myself pretty private. I don’t think it’s important for Arya to flash. This beat isn’t really about that.’
‘This is something she’s stayed away from, an emotion we’ve never really seen her engage with. David and Dan were like, “It’s the end of the world, what else would you have her do?”,’ she explained.
‘This may be is a moment where Arya accepts death tomorrow, which she never does. It’s interesting to see Arya be a bit more human, speak more normally about things people are scared of.’
The Sri Lankan Police were warned of the Easter terror attack, 10 days before Islamist extremist struck yesterday in an attack that killed 207 people and left many others injured.
The prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe confirmed late Easter Sunday, that the Sri Lankan’s police and intelligence services were warned of possible suicide bombings at “prominent churches” 10 days before the Easter terror attacks. According to him, the warning to Sri Lanka’s police was not acted upon and the information had not been passed to him.
“We must also look into why adequate precautions were not taken,” Wickremesinghe said the previous evening.
The intelligence information had been sent to the country’s top officers by Police Chief Pujuth Jayasundara, according to documents cited by AFP.
“A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,” the alert said.
Some intelligence officers were aware of this incidence. Therefore there was a delay in action. What my father heard was also from an intelligence officer. Serious action need to be taken as to why this warning was ignored. I was in Badulla last night pic.twitter.com/ssJyItJF1x
The Country’s Minister of Telecommunications, Foreign Employment & Sports, Harin Fernando also tweeted;
Some intelligence officers were aware of this incidence. Therefore there was a delay in action. What my father heard was also from an intelligence officer. Serious action need to be taken as to why this warning was ignored. I was in Badulla last night
While no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, Sri Lanka’s defense minister, Ruwan Wijewardene, identified the culprits as religious extremists. He said that while they have been identified, their names will not be released to the public for security reasons.

Kannywood actor Adam A. Zango has concluded all arrangements to marry for the sixth time since 2006.
The wedding invitation card obtained by our reporter shows that the actor would marry one Safiya Umar Chalawa also known as Suffy at 2:30pm next Friday.
The wedding would take place at Emir of Gwandu Central Mosque in Gwandu, Kebbi state.
Daily Trust learnt that Zango had married five wives. Before their divorce, they gave him six children – four boys and two girls.
Zango’s first wife was Amina. He married her in 2006 and she gave him his first son, Haidar. Haidar clocked 12 years recently. Daily Trust could not ascertain what led to their divorce, as it is still unknown.
A’isha was the actor’s second wife, which he married from Shika in Zaria LG of Kaduna state. Daily Trust learnt that A’isha gave birth to three male children.
Zango married his third wife, Maryam from Nasarawa state.
He later married an actress Maryam AB Yola in Lugbe, Abuja in 2013, few months after they both acted in a movie titled ‘Nas’.
In 2015, in a secret marriage, the 34-year old actor married Ummul Kulsum from Ngaoundere in Cameroon. The Cameroonian gave birth to Zango’s first daughter, named Murjanatu.
Now, Safiya popularly called Suffy would the sixth woman that the actor would be marrying.
Our reporter gathered that the actor had divorced all the five wives and the reasons for their divorce were still not in the public domain.
Omotola Jalade who graced the cover of Guardian Magazine, stated that she has faced bullets before which makes negative reactions nothing to her as she reacted to her viral tweet which sparked up controversy.
She had tweeted:
“The country under your watch is Hellish! The lack of money in circulation, coupled with continuous assault and killings by uniformed men, will make this country implode! It is unbearable. Do something. Insecurity. Fear and desperation everywhere.”
However,the response to her tweet was majorly negative . In an interview with Guardian Life,she said
I’m not overwhelmed by the reactions, especially the negative ones. I expected them. These ones were just talk. I faced bullets before. I faced military men pointing guns at me, and so, the negative reactions were nothing to me. And why would I want to ruffle any nest? Who doesn’t want to hide his or her head? Do you know that when I had cause to speak up against previous governments, I was attacked? Not by words alone. But my business, my personal life, my finances were attacked. It is not something I enjoy doing, but sometimes, I worry too like every other normal human being. I worry for my safety. I worry for the safety of people around me.
People think this is a joke. They think it is funny. They think it is something somebody just wakes up to do. I don’t have a choice than to speak the truth. I live here and I’m a born activist.
I’m not just an activist, because I want to talk or I want people to notice me, this is who I’m. I have been like this since I was a child.
Everybody who knew me as a child would tell you that Omotola wouldn’t stand injustice. I’m that person who will speak out. Sometimes, I fight against myself too. I am like shut up, shut up; you don’t have to say everything. Keep quiet. I guess you can’t fight whom God has made you.
A British aide worker, Faye Mooney, was among the two people shot dead at a Kajuru castle in Kaduna last Friday, by unknown gunmen who also abducted three others. This was confirmed by the British High Commission.
The 29-year old British aide worker employed by a non-governmental organization traveled from Lagos and was attending a party when she met her end.
Neal Keny-Guyer, Chief Executive Officer of Mercy Corps said they are ‘heartbroken’ at the loss of the ‘dedicated’ Faye Mooney.
He said:
‘Faye was a dedicated and passionate communications and learning specialist who had worked with Mercy Corps for almost two years, devoting her time to making a difference in Nigeria, supporting our teams and the communities we work with to tell their stories of impact, and leading efforts to counter hate speech and violence.
He added:
‘Some suspected kidnappers armed with dangerous weapons gained entry into a recreational resort called Kajuru Castle in Kajuru local government area shooting sporadically and in the process shot dead two persons, including an expatriate lady, and took away three others,’ Kaduna state police spokesman said.
‘We are engaging with the Nigerian authorities, and we understand an investigation is underway,’ the British High Commission said in a statement.
PDP Presidential candidate in the February 23rd presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has refuted claims made by the APC that he is not a citizen of Nigeria.
In a petition filed at the presidetial election tribunal, the APC had alleged that Atiku is not a Nigerian by birth. In their petition, the APC stated that Atiku was born in Cameroon and so is a Cameroonian by birth and as such, is not eligible to run for president.
Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party
Responding to APC’s claim, Atiku in statement himself and his party jointly filed before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, denied the claim. The former Vice President said he was born on November 25, 1946, in Jada, Adamawa State, therefore he was a Nigerian.
He said while his father, Garba Atiku Abdulkadir, hailed from Wumo in the present-day Sokoto State, his mother, Aisha Kande, hailed from Dutse, now Jigawa State. The response in part reads
“Contrary to the allegations contained in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the 3rd respondent’s (APC’s) reply, the petitioners state that the 1st petitioner (Atiku) is a citizen of Nigeria by birth and thus qualified to vote and be voted for and returned in the election to the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, held on Saturday February 23, 2019 going by the relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
“The 1st petitioner was born on November 25, 1946, in Jada, Adamawa State, by Nigerian parents and he is, therefore, a citizen of Nigeria by birth. The 1st petitioner’s father, Garba Atiku Abdulkadir, was a Nigerian by birth who hailed from Wumo in the present-day Sokoto State, while the mother, Aisha Kande, was also a Nigerian who hailed from Dutse in the present-day Jigawa State.
“The parents of the 1st Petitioner are both Fulani, a community/tribe indigenous to Nigeria.
“The birth of the 1st petitioner in Jada, in the present-day Adamawa State of Nigeria, was occasioned by the movement of his paternal grandfather called Atiku, who was an itinerant trader, from Wumo in the present-day Sokoto State to Jada in company with his friend, Ardo Usman. That in Jada, Atiku, the grandfather of the 1st petitioner, gave birth to Garba who in tum gave birth to the 1st petitioner and named him after his father, Atiku.
“The 1st petitioner’s mother, Aisha Kande, was the grand-daughter of Inuwa Dutse who came to Jada as an itinerant trader too from Dutse in the present-day Jigawa State. All averments concerning Germany, British Cameroons, League of Nations and Plebiscite are false and misleading in relation to the 1st petitioner and therefore completely irrelevant more so that the 1st petitioner is a Nigerian by birth within the contemplation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
“The averments in the aforesaid paragraphs are indeed fabricated, contrived, made in bad faith and designed to embarrass the 1st petitioner” he said
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may land special royal jobs in Africa after the birth of their first child.
The new hybrid role could see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex combine Commonwealth and charity work and promoting Britain, but take them out of the UK for at least two to three years.
It would allow Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, a break from divisions that have rocked the royals in recent months, it is claimed. A source told The Sunday Times: “Discussions are at an early stage, but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa.”
A decision on where royal “rock stars” Harry and Meghan would be based is not due until 2020, The Sunday Times reports. But the Duke of Sussex has strong links to Africa and spent his 2004 gap year in Lesostho, where he started a charity. Harry and Meghan are said to have fallen in love in Botswana, which the prince refers to as his ‘second home’.
It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins and in the case of these Nigerian twin brothers who are set to get married to their brides on the same day, it is double Blessing.
Identified simply as “Taiwo and Kehinde”, the two brothers are set to walk up to the alter side by side as they shared simple yet amazing photos in recognition of their big day ahead.
The photos were shot by KLALA Photography, see below ;

“Afterwards, he tried to strangle me but I overpowered him by tangling him to death instead, with a towel.“Then I brought his corpse to Olorunsogo by a waste disposal truck which I bribed the driver, Fatai Shaibu who lives at kosodo area of Jawesola with three hundred thousand naira (N300,00) for the operation.
“Since I brought him to Olorunsogo, I never sleep there. I went to sleeping in a church at Aremo in aim to take the corpse to Agodi prison to confess my crime.“He has not decay when I brought him here. I killed him upper Friday and sprayed chemical on him to decay fast without smelling. However, I have killed seven other people so far which most of the victims were the students of Lagelu grammar school.

Reality TV star, Leo Dasilva in new tweets, disclosed that his family is pushing him to get married just after his cousin got married recently.
The reality show star who was formerly linked to Cee-C and also had a romantic affair with Alex, his Whatsapp chats is flooded with messages of getting married. Leo Dasilva who disclosed that his family is pushing him to get married, tweeted;
My cousin got married yesterday, the amount of “you should be next” on what’s app for the next one month like he isn’t 2 years older than I am
The reality star also added;
With the kind of stories I heard yesterday, I think it’s important to never rush into any commitments. It’s one thing to get to know someone, it’s another thing to get to understand the person. Another point, time doesn’t define how well you can get to know or understand anyone.
You can only know someone to an extent by the actions they show you. You might never understand some other things because they won’t open up to you and it’s not your fault. They might not feel safe with you and you might not be right for them. Accept that.
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her birthday on Sunday, marking 93 years in the public glare.
Here are five facts about Britain’s oldest and longest-reigning monarch.
– Longevity –
Over 80 per cent of Britons has not experienced life under any other monarch, having not been born when Elizabeth ascended the throne on February 6, 1952, according to the UK Office of National Statistics.
She has reigned over 14 prime ministers, coming to the throne during the tenure of Winston Churchill.
She has also met with 11 of the 12 US presidents in office and signed more than 3,500 bills into law.
On her birthday, the Queen will be 11 years and four months older than any British monarch in history, and at 67 years and 74 days, will be the longest serving by three years and 224 days.
– Birth –
The Queen was born on April 21, 1926, at 17 Bruton Street in London’s upmarket Mayfair neighbourhood, which is now a high-end Chinese restaurant whose signature dishes include “Roasted silver cod with Champagne”.
She has another official birthday on the second Saturday in June, to celebrate the landmark publicly.
The double birthday tradition was started by King George II in 1748, who wanted to have a summer celebration.
– Animals –
The monarch has been an animal lover all her life, and is particularly fond of horses and dogs.
She has owned more than 30 corgi dogs, her favourite breed, and even invented a new breed, the dorgi — a cross between a corgi and a dachshund.
She inherited several thoroughbred racing horses after her father King George VI died in 1952 and her rides have won more than 1,600 races.
The 93-year-old has also owned an elephant, black jaguars and a crocodile — all gifts that were looked after in zoos — and due to archaic laws, still owns all unmarked mute swans and “royal fish” in Britain, including dolphins and sturgeons.
– Tax –
Although not legally obliged to pay tax, Elizabeth chose in 1992 to start voluntarily paying income tax on her private earnings amid public grumblings about the cost of restoring the family’s fire-damaged Windsor Castle.
– Tech savvy –
Despite the tradition and pomp of the family, the Queen has been comfortable with developing technologies ever since serving as a truck mechanic in World War II.
She sent her first email in 1976, sent a message taken to the moon by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969, first tweeted in 2014 and made her first Instagram post last month.
Her 1953 coronation was the first to be televised and, in 2012, her annual Christmas speech was made available on podcast.
The love story between this Nigerian man and his beautiful fiancee may leave you in tears.
Seven years after their wedding ceremony was delayed due to a ghastly motor accident.
The man who identifies as Zabrang Shehu, was involved in a ghastly motor accident in 2012.. which forced his wedding to his partner, Rahab Mercy Yohanna to be postponed.
Seven years after the unfortunate incident, the loyal couple are set to get married on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at the same Church where the wedding had been billed to take place in 2012.
Read the details of what happened as shared by Facebook user Emmanuel Junior Zakka:
Zabrang Shehu was a U02… ABU student – that is he was admitted in the year 2002. He studied Archaeology and was the best graduating student of his class; he graduated with a very good Second Class Upper Degree (2:1). Before he gained admission to study Archeology in ABU, he attended the famous Federal College of Chemical and Leather Technology (a.k.a. Leather Research), Samaru, Zaria: the school Opposite the ABU Main Gate. There, too, he was the best graduating student with an Upper Credit and National Diploma in Leather Technology.
Expectedly, and indeed not surprisingly, Zabrang got two job offers the same year, 2012, before he suffered a setback in that ghastly motor accident that nearly claimed his life and therefore he couldn’t pick either of the jobs – yes he had to forfeit them both because of his ill health.
After my National Youth Service (NYSC) in 2008, I met this lady by name Rahab Mercy Yohanna in Kaduna. We were (and still are) both members of the same Church – Living Water Anglican Church, Ungwan Pama. Before I met her, something happened. I went home in 2011 and informed my parents that my wedding would be on 28th December, 2012. That was a date I had fixed by faith because at that time I had not found the woman to marry yet. It was a faith declaration of some sort. That was on September 27, 2011, to be exact.
When I met Mercy, I told her my intentions and we agreed to pray about it. A month later we were courting. After a while we went for the usual test – phenotype, genotype and the rest. When it was confirmed that we were good to go, I then took the next step and informed my pastor, then Rev A.A. Imade (now Venerable Imade). He is now at Bagado Church. He prayed for us and asked what my intentions were and I told him I wanted to settle down. He then became my marital counsellor and he is my spiritual father even today.
Next, I took Mercy home to Gada Biyu, my home town, for my parents to see her. That was in December of 2011. At the time she was going for her Higher National Diploma, HND, at Nuhu Bamali Zaria. On Friday, 6th April, 2012, we went to the motor garage to board a car to travel to the village for proper introduction at my fiancée’s place, Gora Gida. At that time I was the Youth President of my Church and a lady in my church was getting married the following day, Saturday, April 7, 2012. I was to represent the church at the wedding at Zagom. So I had programmed to attend the wedding and then head to Gora the next, Sunday, April 8, for the introduction proper.
Meanwhile at the garage in Sabon Tasha, only two people were left for the car that was loading passengers, an Opel, to get full before takeoff. As my fiancée stepped into the car, I followed suit. No sooner had I sat in that car than I felt something within me telling me not to get into that car with her. I now disembarked and told her that we were not traveling in the same car. She asked why and I told her I was sorry but my spirit was not at peace with it. I bought bread and gave her to take home for me because she would get to my house before me.
As we were having some discussion before takeoff, a friend of mine, Mr Polycarp, an Igbo guy, called and told me that he was in Kaduna with his 14-seater bus from Enugu; that we should use it to go home so that we could pick some people to accompany us for the introduction on Sunday. So my friend, Mann (Simon Marcus ), also called that he and his fiancée (now his wife with two kids) were coming from Zaria; that Polycarp had called and told him we were going together. We agreed that I would wait for them so that we go in Polycarp’s bus together.
Even with the free bus, I still told my fiancée she should go ahead of me in the car she had already boarded. The last passenger came and they left. I had a strong conviction that we couldn’t go together no matter what. So I waved her farewell and crossed to the other side of Sabo garage to wait for Polycarp to arrive.
Interestingly, the day, 6th April, was a ‘Good Friday’ and what happened later explains just how the experience of Good Friday became my own. There were passengers everywhere on that day, as people were traveling home for the Easter celebration. We then decided to pick a few passengers to fill the empty spaces in the bus since we were heading home. There was no conductor and so I was the one closing and opening the door for incoming passengers.
Something happened as we were about to start the journey. A man came from nowhere and said he must join our bus. We insisted that he wouldn’t but he kept disturbing us to help him. Polycarp asked someone passengers to move to the engine side of the bus and let the man take a seat but shockingly the man demanded that he must seat where I was sitting. I couldn’t believe such troublesomeness. I was angry. We were all angry because it did not make sense to any us one bit. Why should this man dictate to us what we should do in our own bus? Why should someone we agreed to help become such a dictator? Moreover, it was ‘our’ bus and we should be free to decide to go with him or not; so why the troubles? He kept persuading me to vacate the seat for him. In the end I agreed, howbeit reluctantly, and sat close to Mann, while he sat close to door where I was before. And then we took off.
As we started the journey, a few minutes later, as we got to Kujama, we had a tyre burst and Polycarp later narrated that he was confused when it happened and in that state of confusion he applied the brakes… You know what happens in such a scenario. Do you know what? The “troublesome” man who insisted on having, and actually had my seat, was the only one that died in that accident. The door of the car was said to have squeezed with him. You can imagine what went through my mind when I got to know it. It remains an incident I will never forget. He took my place. He exchanged his life for mine without knowing it. It was a Good Friday indeed for me! But I wish no one had died though! But seriously, God saved me.
We were rushed to St. Gerard’s Catholic Hospital, Kakuri – Kaduna, at about 5.15pm. AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY YEARS OF PREDICAMENT, AGONY AND SORROWS.
At St. Gerard’s, I underwent two surgeries within the space of two weeks. I suffered what they called Pelvic Fracture Distraction Defect (PFDD), which resulted in bladder burst. I was therefore on a regular change of catheter since the bladder was on repairs. I was also using crutches because I couldn’t walk unaided.
While we were at St. Gerard’s, my fiancée came back from the journey – she actually cut it short after my brother, Zicham, called and informed them about the accident because she had traveled safely to the village ahead of me. RAHAB MERCY YOHANNA STOOD BY ME IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE WAS MY ANGEL. I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE KIND OF HUMAN SHE IS. MY HEART’S ONLY RESPONSE TO HER LAVISH LOVE IS GRATITUDE.
Still at St Gerard’s, one fateful evening, after my second surgery, a man came into the ward where I was admitted, around 7:20pm, and made his way to my bed – two of them to be sure. They greeted me and the man whose bed was close to mine (he was lying unconscious). After that they left. All I can recall with clarity is that the man came down from his car, came towards me at the male surgical ward, greeted me and left.
I later saw a medical personnel who came and asked me if I was a relation of the Governor. I asked him the Governor he was talking about because it was funny, and he said to me “Governor Patrick Yakowa.” My mother shouted, “Yakowa? Where is he?” Seriously, the man that came was Sir Patrick Yakowa of Blessed memory. He took my hospital bills and PAID ALL IN FULL. Can you see another Good Friday experience? I was then transferred to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, Zaria., probably because they thought I was a relation of the Governor. Between 2012 and 2015 I underwent 6 different surgeries in all.
Back to my fiancée. She completed her HND programme and was posted to Rivers State for her National Youth Service Scheme, NYSC. She completed and came back. She told me something which struck me hard and has stuck with me ever since. She said, “God spoke to you and you saved me. And I won’t have peace of mind if I run away and abandon you.” She also added, “I know how I felt the day we agreed to settle down – an inner joy that I had never felt before all my life. I must make sure we complete what we have started. No matter how long it takes, no matter for how long you will be in this state, I will WAIT. I know you will recover. BE STRONG.”. Those words kept me! I was determined to be back on my feet to reward this love with my own love.
Dear friends, eerything about me is grace; I am seriously a living Testimony.
A 30-year-old man, Uwani Danjuma, has killed his wife for planning to remarry after his death.
The incident occurred at Uddu village in Rijau Local Government Area of Niger State.
Danjuma said his wife had told him when he was ill that if he died, she would remarry.
Angered by those words, he said he attacked and killed his wife with a cutlass when he became well.
Confessing to the crime, the suspect said his wife was sleeping when he killed her, adding that he deliberately killed her because of her comment.
“I can’t imagine my own wife telling me that if I die, she will remarry. I became angry and inflicted injuries on her neck with a machete, which led to her death.
“I don’t regret killing her, since she wanted me to die. I killed her so that she would not remarry. She should not have said that to my hearing. There is power in spoken words. So let her go. Allah will send her to hell for that unguarded statement,” Danjuma said.
Police spokesman Mohammad Abubakar said the suspect was arrested following a tip-off, adding that he had confessed to the crime.
He said the injury the suspect inflicted on the deceased led to her death, adding that he would be charged to court.
