RE: BRUSH WITH A MOVING TRAIN

I write in  reference to a publication on Vanguard Newspaper of  04/07/2013 about a young man who had a brush with a moving train at airport bus stop Ikeja Along.

The young man in this case is a post graduate student of University of Lagos, studying Geographic Information System. He was going to the Police Pension Commission in Ikeja to pursue his late father's pension benefits when he met his untimely death. He is named Austin Abi, from Adikpo in  Benue State. He lived at 14 Fatai Street Egbeda, Lagos.

He was a very calm and focused person, articulate and too sound for certain uncivilized behaviors, like listening to earphone while walking on the street; even on a high way as busy as Ikeja Along.

The information posted on Vanguard Newspaper and which was collaborated by other online posts and radio presenter (YO YO) that he had earphones on his two ears was totally wrong and misleading.

Something else might have happened because the said earphones was not seen by one Mr Shedrach who accompanied him on the journey.

 And  at no point was he seen with earphone that day. His sister who bade him goodbye did not notice any ear phone with him. And at no point did he stop to buy one along the road.

I remember I saw him barely two hours before the incident occured at Dopemu Roundabout by Sweet Sensation and i did not notice the said earphone. How he mysteriously wore earphone before he was hit by the train is still a surprise to all of us.

When he was rushed to the hospital there was no experienced doctor on ground to immediately attend to him. All we saw were student doctors because Lagos State Resident doctors were on 3 days warning strike.

Austin could have been saved if we have a robust health care system. He was alive for about three hours after the accident but was not given proper medical attention. Instead we were being asked to pay for this form or buy that card before they would attend to him.

He died at exactly 5:00 pm and was moved to TOS mortuary within the hospital premises .

He was buried on 1st July 2013 at his home town  in Benue State.

He will be remembered for his calmness, caring, and perfect friendly dispositions. He was once a departmental president in the department of Geography and Meteorology, Enugu State Univeristy of Science and Technology, Enugu .

We pray God to save us from the evils the that walk in the day. To console the family of Abi for this great loss.

Adieu Abi Austin!!!

THE FORGOTTEN OF LAGOS!!!

This is one of the streets that have continued to rubbish all the good works of Gov. Fashola in Lagos state. This road has been like this since i was born and till today government has not done anything to correct the situation, even to dig a simple drainage.
During the last election, the deputy governor, who happens to come from the local government, Alimoshon LGA promised with her blood that she would give the road a face lift. This is 2 and half years into her administration and no help seems to be on the way.
The tenants have tasked themselves to contribute N8000 each to do the road, but the amount is still grossly inadequate.
The last night rain and which happens to be the first dealt with the inhabitants of the area.
This is just the onset of the rain, it is only time will tell what the rest of the raining season will become for them.
Fashola please do something!!!!

THE ELECTION OF A NEW POPE

On Thursady, February 28 at exactly 19:00 GMT Pope Benedict XVI will formally resign as head of the 1.1 billion Roman Catholic church.
He is the first pope in 598 years (between 1415 to 2013) to have done so. He sited his resignation to ill health and believed it is for the good of the mother church.
The end of the German Leader's almost 8- year reign sets in motion the election of the 266th Pope.
There are 117 (CXVII) Cardinals eligible to elect the next Pope.. Each Crdinal elector has to be below the age of 80 when the seat becomes vacant in the Pope-less interim - SEDE VACANTE.
Thus Cardinal Lubomry Husar of Ukraine, who turns 80 on February 26 cannot vote, but Cardinal Walter Kasper of Germany who turns 80 on March 5 can still vote. Meanwhile Cradinal Julius Riyadi Darmaatmadja of Indonesia who is 78 will miss the vote due to failing health and Cradinal Keith O'Brien, head of Scotland Catholic Church, following allegation of inappropriate conduct with priests resigned and will not vote.
That brings the number of voters to 115.
To inherit the seat of St. Peter, the next Pope needs a two-third majority of the 115 Cardinals, or 77 electors. Out of this number 67 were appointed by Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II.
There is no official list of Papabili (papal candidates).
Under the Canon Law that governs the church any baptized Catholic male is eligible to become a Pope.
Since 1378, the Pope has always been picked from among the cardinals. They will be sequestered inside the Vatican with no newspaper, radio, television or phone. As some Cardinals have facebook and twitter accounts, they will also be cut off from the internet.
If none of the candidates receives the required votes after 33 or 34 ballots, the two candidates with the most votes will move into a runoff; in which only a simple majority is required to be selected.
The candidates themselves are not allowed to vote.
Here are 12 Cardinals whose names, alphabetically listed, are most frequently mentioned as possible candidates:
1. Joao Braz De Aviz, age 65, from Brazil, the country with most Catholics. He is the head of the vatican department of religious congregations. He was appointed Cardinal by Benedict in 2012.

2. Timothy Dolan, age 62, from USA. He became Archbishop of New York in 2009. He was appointed Cardinal by Benedict in 2012. he is known for his humour and charisma.

3. Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, age 70, from Honduras. He is the archbishop of Tegucigalpa and president of Caritas international, the umbrella group of Catholic charities. He is a multilingual archbishop. In the 2005 conclave that elected Benedict, he was also a papabili.

4. Marc Ouellet, age 68, from Canada. He is the head of Vatican's congregation for Bishops.He is well connected within the Curia, the Vatican bureaucracy.

5. Gianfranco Ravasi, age 70, from Italy. He has been the  culture minister of the Vatican since 2007 and represents the church to the worlds of art, science and culture. Benedict picked Ravasi to lead the annual recollection of cardinals.

6. Leonardo Sandri, age 69, from Argentina but with Italian parents. He is the current prefect of the Congregation for Oriental Churches and former Vatican ambassador to venezuela and Mexico.

7. Robert Sarah, age 67, from guinea. He is the president of the Pontifical council Cor Unum, which promotes catholic Charitable giving. A scripture scholar and former diocesan bishop, he served nine years as secretary of the Congregation for Evangelization of Peoples.

8. Odilo Pedro Scherer, age 63, from Brazil. He is the archbishop of Sao Paulo, the largest diocese in the largest Catholic country- making him a strong candidate. But the rapid growth of Protestant churches in Brazil could hurt him.

9. Christopher Schoenborn, age 67, from Austria. A former student of Pope Benedict with a pastorial touch the pontiff lacks. The Vienna archbishop has ranked as papal material since editing the church catechism in the 1990's.

10. Angelo Scola, age 71, from Milan. He is the archbishop of Milan, a springboard to the papacy, and is many Italian bet to win. An expert in bioethics, he is also has links to Islamic world, as head of a foundation to promote Muslim- Christian understanding.

11. Luis Tagle, age 55, from Philippines. He is the archbishop of Manila. His charisma is said to be comparable to that of the late Pope John Paul II. He worked with Pope Benedict at the international Theology Commission and was named Cardinal in 2012. At 55 he is the second youngest cardinal.

12. Peter Turkson, age 64, from Ghana. He is said to be the African candidate. As head of the Vatican Justice and peace bureau, he is the spokesman for the church's social conscience and backs world financial forum. He was criticized of showing a video critical of Muslim at recent Vatican synod.

The Big Boss - Keshi resigns.

The super eagles coach has sent his resignation letter to the Nigeria Football Federation after a dramatic falling out with powers that be at the glass house, 24 hours after lifting the 2013 African cup of nations.

Keshi has told the media house that he would 'pack his bags and leave'if he felt that he is no longer wanted as the coach of the Super eagles.

His victor over the Burkina Faso and the eventual lifting of the trophy has got highly praised from all quarters.

It was gathered that some top notch in the Nigeria football governing house are not comfortable with his progress and needed him off loaded.

Keshi is the person in the history of Nigeria Football to have won the cup as a player in 1994 and as a coach in 2013.

Keep pace with us for more details....

POPE BENEDICT XVI RESIGNS

Pope Benedict XVI intends to resign at the end of this month as he feels he lacks the energy to continue in the papal seat.

Greg Burke, the adviser said the pope had made the decision because he dose not feel he has the energy to continue in his position as the number one in the catholic episcopal hierarchy.



The resignation which is to take effect at 8 pm on 28 February was announced in Latin Consistory  meeting.

Pope Benedict XVI is the first Pope to so resigned since the middle ages and this will leave the Papacy vacant until the next successor is chosen by the college of Cardinals in what is termed The Conclave.

His successor is expected to be elected by the end of March and possibly before the beginning of the Holy Week on 24th March.

The question on everybody's lips is, will the Catholic Church pick the next Pope outside of Europe, which has been occupying the seat for thousands of years?

The Papal line, which goes back more than 2,000 has been dominated by Europe and for 400 years between 1523 and John Paul II in 1978, the Pope was always an Italian.

Those who might be considered to succeed the ailing Pope are Cardinals Marc Ouellet of Canada, Francis Arinze of Nigeria and Peter Turkson of Ghana.While those in Paddy Power favour Marc Ouellet, William Hill favour Francis Arinze and Peter Turkson.

Pope Benedict XVI succeeded Pope John Paul II in 2005 after he passed on to glory.

However, Pope Benedict XVI will continue to function in his capacity and honour all public commitments and engagements until the date of his resignation, after which he will be moved to summer residence near Rome and then to a former monastery within Vatican territory.

We wish the Pope good health and strength till God calls him to an eternal happiness.
