Massive Free Sheikh Zakzaky Protest In More Than 50 Nigerian Towns And Cities

The #FreeZakzaky protest of yesterday in more than 50 Nigerian towns and cities was massive. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians flooded the streets chanting freedom for Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife. I shared pictures and videos of the protests and I became tired.

There are towns and villages in the hinterland that I have never heard of but I saw pictures of them Yesterday protesting for Free Sheikh Zakzaky. There is tremendous progress going on. The enemy has woefully failed and Sheikh Zakzaky predicted this scenario in the past.

#FreeZakzaky is Trending on Twitter since yesterday. I am very tired! Wanted to rest and catch some sleep today but the pictures of the massive Free Sheikh Zakzaky protest from Pakistan started flooding in. Had to share.

Some Saudi-sponsored Wahhabi clerics in Nigeria have started grumbling that Shia is spreading like wildlife despite all what they are doing. Na God, they can't do a damn thing!

We should strengthen the bond of love and brotherhood among us. This is what makes the enemy unhappy. Offer excuses for your brothers and sisters as we are not infallible.

We Will Win InshaAllah!
Humanity Always Win!

Man Killed After Surgeon Left A Needle In His Body After Surgery

A family in Tennessee is suing TriStar Centennial hospital after their 73-year-old family relative died a month after a surgeon left a needle inside him.
John Burns Johnson, 73, of Lafayette, had open heart surgery at TriStar. When the nine-hour surgery was completed the surgeon, Dr. Sreekumar Subramanian, realized not all of his needles were accounted for.
The surgeon re-opened Johnson, who underwent an additional three hours of surgery as the team tried to retrieve the needle, but they were ultimately unable to remove it.
The lawsuit says the surgeon closed Johnson's chest and rewired his sternum, leaving the needle inside.
'Mr. Johnson's condition continued to deteriorate over the next thirty days,' the lawsuit states, according to KGW8 . 'He was critically ill and never saw his home again.'
The lawsuit says the needle was not removed until his autopsy.
It also alleges his final month of life leading up to his death was 'painful, unnecessary and wrongful.'
TriStar declined to respond to the lawsuit but released a statement regarding the incident.
'We take the responsibility of properly caring for our patients very seriously and empathize with the understandable grief being felt by the family,' the TriStar statement said.
Subramanian has a five star rating on the hospital's site and has no discipline cases against him.
The lawsuit was filed by Johnson's widow, son and daughter.

Ohuhu Have Problems Of Infrastructure But The Most Urgent Is Water - Onwuneme

Engr Nwabueze Nnamdi Onwuneme a former Special assistant to the governor of Abia state and currently the Director General Buhari South East Youth Movement (BUSEYM) friday purchased the All Progressives Congress Nomination form in readiness for the 2019 Abia House Of Assembly election.

Engr Onwuneme who is an APC chieftain picked the form in Abuja on Friday 7th of September 2018, addressing his supporters, Onwuneme said his strength comes from God almighty and that he is ready and capable to ensure that Ohuhu is no longer used as a campaign ground and abandoned afterwards.

He said the Ohuhu clan have problems bothering on infrastructure but the most urgent is water and the government seem not to be interested in giving Ohuhu potable water, if I get into the house I will ensure that the greater Okpara water scheme is revived and reticulated across Ohuhu.

It’s not rocket science, if Dr. M. I. Okpara can do it then, we can do it now, but because those who have represented us with all due respect have not aggressively addressed the issues bothering the Ohuhu man, that’s why we are neglected, I can’t point at any state government project either completed or ongoing in Ohuhu and still our political leaders are forcing us to support a government that has neglected and abandoned us for the second time, and I promise you that will not happen.

It has come to a point where the Ohuhu man will have to take his destiny into his hands, we all must contribute to develop Ohuhu and I promise you if I get into the house I will not only aggressively pursue policies that will bring in development, I will also draw the attention of the federal government into the gully erosion that is ravaging Ohuhu.

Engineer Onwuneme said, I know our problems and I am ready to tackle it, all I need is the platform and that’s why I have come to purchase this form today.

My life is in danger, says Obiano

The Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, on Tuesday, said he was no longer comfortable standing for the November 18 governorship poll in the state.

He said his life was in danger as far as the poll was concerned, stressing that his security details had been withdrawn.

The governor said the withdrawal was ominous as it had exposed his life to eminent threat.

Obiano stated this in Awka during an election stakeholders' meeting organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

He described the act as unacceptable and dangerous.

He demanded the return of his security details in order not to constitute further threats capable of overheating the polity, adding that he would fight back if nothing is done about it.

Obiano said, "I want my security details returned immediately because I am going to start a fight from there. I am the governor of Anambra State and all the paraphernalia of my office must be there.

"This is unacceptable and a sign of what will happen. Those behind this would be disappointed because we are very ready for this election."

According to the governor, he had wanted to speak with the Inspector General of Police who was scheduled to be on the occasion, but said he had to voice it out at the event since he was not aware when the IGP would come.

The governor had earlier complained of having not been accorded recognition by the moderator of the function when he walked in, despite several attempts to make a comment.

But reacting, the National Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said the event was a stakeholders' meeting, and as such no candidate would be accorded any special treatment regardless of his position.

He said the commission insisted on equal treatment of all candidates in the election and should not only have equal standing, but must be respected.

Speaking later, the Inspector General of Police, Idris Mohammed, said the police decided to withdraw the policemen attached to politicians because of previous experiences where such cops worked for their " master."

He said movement would be restricted on the election day, assuring the people that the state would be adequately policed.

He said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Garba Umar, had been asked to step down for neutrality while he would be replaced with another who had no affinity with the state.

"We are bringing entirely new faces to conduct this election. We need your cooperation; we need your support. We are going to conduct 'stop and search;" we are going to raid some black sports," the IGP said.

10 Businesses That Can Make You Rich In Nigeria

To make money in Nigeria, you have to study the economy and what thrives in it. You can’t possibly sell winter jackets and expect to get returns from it, our weather is not inclined in that way. Here are some business you would like to move into

E-commerce
Customers are crucial in business and apart from this being a very promising venture, it is a sure section that guarantees you billions of customers. Working with an already established company would better help you understand how things work here before going on to start yours.

Construction materials
Infrastructure will forever be needed be it housing, hospitals, schools, etc. that is to say that there will always be a demand for building materials. The Dangote Group is well known for their innovation in this aspect. Though it requires a substantial capital but there is also a continued assurance of you being in business all year long

Real Estate
Land will always appreciate and people are making money in it especially in Lagos. Most people don’t even rent homes now, they buy them. This is a lucrative business to put investment into. If you want to be successful here like Warren Buffett, you need to know that it is expensive and line up your financing.

Oil and Gas

What most Nigerians don’t know is that we are one of the biggest producers and exporters of oil in Africa and the world. Most people have started running petrol stations across the country, distributing diesel and kerosene in large quantities. This also requires a lot of capital, but it will keep you in business and make you millions for a very long time. I personally know someone who started a small petrol station in Kaduna last year and it has only gotten better ever since.

Rice Farming
One of the visions we are driving at in Nigeria is food security. Though it is sometimes hard labor to cultivate and also capital intensive, you are definitely going to remain in business. For example, Rice is a staple crop in Nigeria with high demand across the country. Sadly we still have to import this product from countries like Thailand even when we have the means to do it. Invest in this

Hotel Business
The hotel business is highly competitive, granted, but it is another goldmine waiting to be tapped. As usual, you will need capital but what would keep you in the game is excellent management skills.

Snail Rearing

Now to a low-cost business; snail. They are also low maintenance and don’t require a lot of food. Not many people are into this business, so that’s an edge for you especially as the demand is rising.

Poultry farming

Poultry farming will put you in business all year long turning your capital into millions. Even if you don’t start with many birds, you can always start with a few hundred work your way up from there. This guarantees millions if you are religious about it.

Trade in Second-Hand items

Simply, fairly used products or tokunbo trade. A fraction of Nigerians would rather purchase fairly used products in order to save money be it electronics, cars, clothes. This may not guarantee you millions in the beginning but there is a method to everything. In markets all over the country, second-hand items are moving fast. The OLX website is also known for its safe trade of products and services.

Transport Sector

You need management skills to venture profitably into this business. Transport companies make millions of money from it every day. Also, you will need a good amount of initial capital. There is always business for road transportation in Nigeria and companies like ABC and God Is Good transport among many others, have found a niche here.
