It is rare for a President to die in office, but in Africa the rate seems somewhat high and hence the need to take a look at some of the African Presidents that have died while in office.

Ten African Presidents died while in office over a 4 year period from 2008 to 2012, 2012 being the worse year of Presidential deaths.

Below are the top 10 Presidents who died of mysterious causes.

11. Levy Mwanawasa (59) – Zambia

Levy-Mwanawasa

Levy Patrick Mwanawasa was the third Republican President of Zambia. He ruled the country from January 2002 until his death in August 2008.

He is credited for having initiated a campaign to rid the country of corruption.

On 8 December 1991 Mwanawasa was involved in a serious traffic accident in which his aide died on the spot.

He suffered multiple body injuries and was flown to Johannesburg, South Africa for medical treatment.

He remained hospitalised for three months. A lasting effect of the accident was his noticeably slurred speech.

A commission of inquiry was set up to investigate who was responsible for the alleged assassination attempt.

Charles Okah Reportedly Attempts Suicide | Tries To Jump From 3rd Floor Of Court House.

Charles Okah

Suspected mastermind of the October 1, 2010 bombing which occurred in Abuja, Charles Okah, caused a row, by attempting to commit suicide during the Tuesday’s proceedings in his trial before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Punch reports that Okah, after ending an emotion-filled comment about his protracted trial during the court session, grabbed a nearby chair with which he made repeated but futile attempts to break a window in order to create an opening through which he could jump down from the court room located on the third floor of the five-storey building.

His frustration on Tuesday was ignited by his lawyer’s absence in court. Defence lawyers – Mr. Samuel Zibiri and O.O Otemu – were provided by the Federal Government-owned Legal Aid Council, after Okah in October last year, dispensed with the services of Lagos lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, whose law firm had defended the two of them since the case started in 2010.

Okah, who is standing trial along with Obi Nwabueze for terrorism charges arising from the October 1, 2010 bombing incident, sought the permission of the trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, to speak after it was discovered that his lawyer was not in court.

After the judge granted him permission to speak from the dock, Okah in a high-pitched emotional outburst expressed frustration about his long incarceration and the attendant deprivation of the opportunity to cater for his family.

Okah said,

“I have been incarcerated for about five years now, and I have a family to cater for. “My children would grow up without feeling the warmth of their father. I’m tired of this endless trial.”

It took the intervention of lawyers and some other persons who were in the court room for their respective cases to stop his attempt to commit suicide after his emotion-laden speech.

The chair with which he attempted to break the window was collected from him after he was overpowered and Justice Kolawole promptly adjourned the suit till October 20.

Okah, is a brother to former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, Henry Okah, who is already serving jail terms in South Africa for the bombing near Eagle’s Square, Abuja on October 1, 2010 in which about 12 persons were said to have died.

10 Reasons Why Most Nigerian Ladies Lie About Being A Virgin

Why many Nigerian ladies lie about being a virgin – Generally, I guess many ladies claim that virginity doesn’t define a good relationship & shouldn’t be a yardstick when choosing a partner, yet they lie about it for reasons known to them.

We shall discuss why the lie about being virgins when in fact, they are not

1. Because Of Her Age: Personally speaking and general summarizing, a girl of 18-19yrs is most likely to lie using some slow logic to justify her virginity like she has never had s*x before when in face, she has done it before

2. Because That Is What Guys Love To Hear: YES girls mostly lie about their virginity status because guys in question always mount pressure on them, therefore, they lie about being one.

However, an average lady is most likely to lie about being a virgin because being a virgin will make her appear innocent, respected & holy.

“Boko Haram Wants To Kill Me For Converting To Christianity” – Islamic Cleric’s Son Voice Out. (Photo)

Raphael

A 35-year old man, simply identified as Raphael, has raised alarms over threats by members of Boko Haram militants to kill him.

He narrates how the Boko Haram sect burnt his stores, father’s house, offices, and thereafter killed one of his cousins, an undergraduate at the University of Maiduguri.

Trouble brewed when he converted to the Christian faith contrary to the wishes of his father, and other relatives.

READ ALSO: Boko Haram Takes Responsibility of Abuja Bombing, Releases Pictures Of The Suicide Bombers Responsible

Speaking to National Mirror, he said:

A few months after my conversion to Christianity, I received several threats and warnings from the insurgents, telling me to revert to my former religion or face dire consequences,”

“I received written threats saying I could only run but could not hide, which I took to the Police and they told me they would do something about it, but nothing was done. If they had done something about it, I wouldn’t have received the second note that said I could only run but could not hide.”

“I was born in Maiduguri, Borno State, but my father was from Oyo State while my mother was born in Abuja. Both of them had been living in Maiduguri before I and my siblings were born. My father is a Muslim, and I was born into a Muslim home. I am into buying and selling of animal skins, a business I started after my National Diploma (ND) education at The Polytechnic, Ibadan in 2007/2008, and I have so many people working under me.

“In 2012, I lost my mum to illness, and towards the end of that year, I converted from Islam to Christianity. My father and all other Muslims around the neighborhood who knew my father were not happy with my conversion, because my father is one of the leaders of the Islamic group, Nasru lahi fathi (NASFAT) branch in Maiduguri.

I am a member of the youth association in Gwange ward, and I give them financial assistance and sometimes release my bus to them for developmental projects.

“I conducted my own investigations. One of my neighbours whose brother received the same notes because of his conversion a few years ago was killed by an unknown killer.

“My family members and I have been marked for death, and everyone in the community denied ever knowing me or my family because they said I was one of the people supporting the youth with finance and cars to protest against them and kill their members.”

Raphael, who released his image, further appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari‘s administration to intensify efforts so as to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents.
