Save A Soul: Ijeoma Still Needs More Money For her Kidney Transplant

Hello people, you remember my post from last week for Ijeoma's kidney transplant.  Yes, our girl has 3million naira now and that is all thanks to everyone that contributed. but we still need to do more because she needs 3million more and for other expenses. Please spread the word, nothing is too small.  Below is a recent update from the FGGC alumini and her pictures at the hospital...

Good morning ladies!
I trust you all had a fabulous weekend. Am here with the update on Ijeoma's contribution. As at this 8.50 am today we have 3 MILLION naira in the account. We haven't done badly in the last week. So KUDOS to everyone who has supported Ijeoma's journey.
After my discussion with her husband, i realise that she actually needs more than the 6 Million she is asking for. The said amount DOES NOT include transportation to India, feeding, accommodation and paying... of the donor. So in the actual sense we are looking at nothing less than 10 MILLION.

The Lost Trekkers:How Many more will Trek?

Yes, I had to ask, How many more will trek before the handover come May 29th. When  Hasheem Suleiman started this walk(trek) in April from Lagos to Abuja in honor of  the President Elect Buhari it was considered one of the rarest things to be done and it was okay.
But now, everyone wants to trek, where are they trekking to, what for? to achieve what ? This afternoon another trekking news emerged. The man by the right wants to trek from Abeokuta to Lagos for Tinubu and others, for what? Another man is trekking to Akoko-Edo in Edo state from Lagos to celebrate the fact that his senator was not returned to the National assembly.

Is this for showmanship or a selfless service? People die everyday no one comes out to trek, Nigerians are killed daily in diaspora you do not trek, the Chibok Girls were kidnapped over a year ago, you didn't trek, Billions of Naira, get missing while you sleep you don't trek, We don't have light in Nigeria we do not trek, You do not have a Job you don't trek then Someone wins or loses an election, You begin to trek.
Brother, please how much were you paid? This shows what is important to us as Nigerians,
We have what is referred to as misplaced priority. They are a bunch of Lost TREKKERS.
We need to get it right as Nigerians if not our leaders we always play on this stupidity we display. We should not trade our Integrity and right for money. We can make better choices than trekking for them.
FullStop!!!

But Please I am looking for a man who will trek to Sambisa forest with me. Please volunteer.

Lets always remember what is Important.

"If You Take Decisions, Those Close to You will Abadon You" Says President Jonathan

A farewell service and thanksgiving was held for the President and his family at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp, Gwarinpa, Abuja. President Jonathan  who spoke during the reception thanked Nigerians for giving him the opportunity to serve. He talked about being deserted by political allies and he joked about his wife leaving him. See part of his speech below...

“I believe there are reasons for everything. Some hard decisions have their own cost, no doubt about that. I ran the government in such a way that stabilized certain things like the electoral process and other things that brought stability to this country and took very costly decisions which I must be ready to pay for.
“Some people come to me and say ‘look at this person or that person, is he not your friend who benefited from you, has this person not benefited from your government ? Imagine what he is saying’? I often tell them that worse statements will come.

Nigeria Visa Costs N100 to N200 In 13 Countries

It is being reported that the Nigeria visa is being sold at a very ridiculous, and low price. While Nigerians pay handsomely for foreign Visa it is reported that 13 countries Pay as low as one dollar for a Nigerian Visa.  
The Punch reports, if what the NIS displays on the website is anything to go by, nationals of Mauritania, Monaco, Morroco, New Zealand, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Burma, Dominican, Chile and Colombia are charged between N100 and N 200 for a single-entry Nigerian visa. For those applying for multiple entries, the fee is multiplied by the number of entries they are seeking.

Weighed against the current exchange rate, it implies that a Nigerian visa is still going for half a dollar or a little above that.

They were sentenced to death on drug-related offences, which largely centered on being in possession of heroin and other narcotics.

"They took Turns to Sleep with Me, Now I am Pregnant"- Woman narrates her ordeal in Sambisa Forest

Some of the women who have been rescued from the book haram sect tell their sad and heart breaking stories of rape, assault in the hands of their captors.
One of the returnees is Asabe Aliyu, a 23-year-old mother of four children from Delsak, a village near Chibok town. She intermittently vomited blood an indication that she sustained internal injuries. She disclosed that beating was the order of the day in the Boko Haram camp. That was in addition to the deployment of all forms of vulgar words. They forced her into marrying somebody after a series of sexual assaults unleashed on her by different men on a daily basis.

"I was abducted six months ago in Delsak when our village was overrun by Boko Haram. First I had sojourned from my village to a forest close to Cameroun, they turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father. With my condition as a pregnant woman, I did the cooking of their food” she told Daily Times amid tears.

 President Goodluck Jonathan has indicated a possibility of foul play in the March 28 general elections. Mr. President who spoke shortly after receiving the report of the Senator Ahmadu Ali-led PDP Presidential Campaign Organization   at the Presidential Villa, Abuja said the PDP could not have scored so low in some of the results that was collated. But he maintained his Stand that the Unity of Nigeria is paramount. He called on PDP party members to be strong, he said those cross- carpeting will come back with hungry stomach. Read his speech below....

 
The President said, “The problem is not whether we lost the elections, that is history, but how do we consolidate our party and move forward? If we are committed and we work hard, definitely the PDP will bounce back.
“The PDP is still the dominant party. If you look at the results, the difference is just 2.5 million votes and if you look at the areas where it is perceived that the PDP scored so low, the PDP couldn’t have got those kinds of scores but the elections are over, so the country first.    Continue.....
