Dana Air to acquire new aircraft, assures on safety

Dana Airlines has begin talks with aircraft manufacturers to renew its fleet of aircraft, but declined to state which aircraft type it would acquire.

The airline also assured Nigerians of safety, saying foreign auditors and Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, had subjected its existing aircraft to serious airworthiness scrutiny, preparatory to start of operations.

Dropping the hint yesterday, Head Commercial of Dana Airlines, Mr. Obi Mbanuzuo, who led a delegation of the airline on a courtesy visit to Vanguard, said the measure was to further boost public confidence in the airline, especially against the backdrop of public hysteria for old aircraft.

He said: “Our airplanes have been flying under the inspection of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to check that everything is operationally ready and the aircraft are air worthy.

-->

“We also have a lot of auditing by NCAA to look at our airplane. We also got foreign auditors involved to come and audit our airplanes, just to instill confidence.

“Very soon, our Air Operators Certificate, AOC, would be received, which will enable Dana Airlines commence operation.

“We are also looking at renewing our fleet with more modern and newer aircraft for operational reasons and not because our current fleet of aircraft are not safe for operations.”

This Droggy is not for sale: Didier rules out Premier League return

GOING NOWHERE ... Didier Drogba is happy with life in China

DIDIER DROGBA has ruled out a return to the Premier League.

Chelsea’s Champions League-winning hero is frequently linked to English clubs, with a mooted two-month loan to Liverpool being just one of many rumours.

But Drogba, 34, insists he has no intention of cutting short his stay with Shanghai Shenhua.

The Ivory Coast international, who moved to the Chinese Super League in the summer, said: “I hope next season I can start again from the beginning with Shenhua.

“Because I joined relatively late, I didn’t prepare with the team early in the season, so our results were not very good.”

Drogba quit Chelsea for a reported £200,000-a-week payday in China and notched eight goals in 11 appearances for his new club.

The Chinese season begins in March and the striker is determined to help Shenhua improve on last term’s ninth-placed finish.

Asaba—TWO suspected kidnappers of a female Chief Magistrate in Effurun, Delta State, and three others accused of  abducting the younger brother of  Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Victor Ochei, have been arraigned in court.

Standing trial for the alleged kidnap of the Speaker’s younger brother were Igane Enekorogha, 33; Godwin Sibede, 32; and Job Burutu, 43.

They all pleaded not guilty to the four-count charge and were ordered by the trial judge, Justice Cletus Emifoniye, of High Court 6, to be remanded in prison custody till November 22 for hearing.

Charges

The prosecution stated:  “That you, Igane Enekorogha, male, Godwin Sibede, male and Job Burutu, male on March 27, 2012, at Asaba, within the Asaba judicial division, conspired to commit a felony to wit, kidnapping, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 516 of the Criminal Code Cap C. 21 Vol. 1 Laws of Delta State, 2006, and kidnapping, punishable under section 364 of the Code.”

Similarly, two other accused persons, Saidu Haruna and Raphael Ewugba, were also facing trial before Justice Cletus Emifoniye of an Asaba High Court for allegedly kidnapping a Delta magistrate, Onoriode Ynonne Asheshe, female, on December 26, 2011, at Effurun.

They were brought to court for continuation of cross examination of prosecution witness (PW1) which was stalled due to an application by the defence counsel, Mr. C. O. Egwenu, requesting prosecution, led by the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, Mr. Eyefengiren Edema, to furnish him with some relevant documents which the prosecution opposed.

The defence counsel argued that the application was irrelevant, citing relevant section of the new Evidence Act to buttress his argument.

Rev King appeals death sentence, Five years after

-->

LAGOS  —  Convicted General-Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King, yesterday pleaded with the Court of Appeal, Lagos to quash the death sentence passed on him by Justice Joseph Oyewole of an Ikeja High Court, five years ago.

Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging on January 11, 2007 , for the alleged murder of a church member, Ann Uzoh. He was arraigned on September 26, 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder.

At the hearing of his appeal, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, who handled his brief, while adopting his written address as well as his reply brief, urged the court to set aside the judgment of the trial court.

Lagos State government,  represented by Solicitor-General, Mr. Lawal Pedro, SAN, as respondent also adopted its written address.

The state, however, urged the court to uphold Justice Oyewole’s verdict. “We urge your Lordships to dismiss this appeal,” Pedro said.

He said the Evidence Act permits the expulsion of inadmissible evidence, adding that the fact counsel did not address the court did not matter, as the judge was the master of the evidence before him.

Pedro said there was enough corroborating evidence, both written and oral, upon which the conviction was secured.

During the trial, the prosecution  had argued that the convict poured petrol on the diseased, Uzor and five others. Uzoh died August 2, 2006 , 11 days after the incident.

In his brief, Ezeugo, through his counsel, had prayed the appeal court in his notice of appeal dated January 16, 2007 to set aside the judgment, based on16 grounds of appeal, while the Appeal Court granted him leave to argue additional 16 grounds of appeal through an amended notice of appeal filed on June 15, 2008 .

According to Ojo, he said  Ezeugo did not commit the crime and was not at the scene, arguing that the deceased, Uzoh had in two statements made after the incident and before her death, stated that she got burnt in a generator accident and that the cleric was not responsible for her injuries.

Ojo said the Investigating Police Officer, IPO, had tendered statements which stated that Ezeugo was not responsible for the burns which led to Uzoh’s death, but they were not admitted in evidence.

The lawyer said had those “vital exhibits” been admitted rather than expunged by the trial judge, they would have operated to cast serious doubt on the case of the prosecution.”

He added that Justice Oyewole’s refusal to admit the exhibits in evidence “occasioned a great miscarriage of justice.”

5 Tips To Keep A Marriage Exciting

The buildup to the wedding is so exciting; making arrangements, laying out a plan for your future lives together. But after the honeymoon ends, life begins. And while you may have the most wonderful marriage, even the most devoted couple is certain to find the married lifestyle to be at times, well let’s say, less than exciting. I mean let’s face it, you love the other person, but spending all day with the same individual makes for a lot of routine activities, that if you are not careful can drag on your relationship and make you both feel unsatisfied with what is otherwise a very loving relationship. 

As a result, it is vital that couples not simply sit back in the belief that a marriage will remain exciting merely on its own momentum. Rather, it is important that spouses take some basic steps to infuse their relationships with a bit of excitement.

1. Have Independent Interests

You cannot have anything interesting to say if you spend every waking moment doing and experiencing the same things. Having independent interests is not a sign of a weak marriage, as some newlyweds believe, but rather a sign of its strength. Having independent interests means that you have something unique to bring to conversations, ensuring that you both always have something interesting, and yes exciting, to say to one another.

2. Spontaneous Events

While you were dating, planning the spontaneous event seemed rather innate. But, as we grow comfortable in our relationships and more busy by life’s obligations, we have a tendency to rely upon the strength of our relationships and in so doing fail to keep things spontaneous. So to mix things up; plan an afternoon or evening event that is completely new. Try that show your spouse has been dying to see, or visit that new restaurant that just opened up.

3. Never threaten separation 

This is less a rule to keep things exciting, and more one to keep them sound. A relationship can only grow and remain exciting if both parties are confident in their commitment to one another. As a consequence, make it a rule between you and your partner that you never threaten separation or divorce. Establish an understanding that if you threaten separation, you should be heading out the door to back it up. It is a harsh rule, but one that needs imposition if your relationship is to survive the ups and downs which are a part of all marriages.

4. Weekend Trips

One sure-fire way to inject some romance into your marriage is to take a vacation with just the two of you. But with the rigors of life and the costs of a trip, a full-blown vacation can seem hard to justify. So instead opt for a one night local vacation. Plan a dinner and evening out, and cap it off with a night in a hotel. The expense isn’t a lot considering the excitement that a trip, no matter how small, can bring into a relationship.

5. Spice up the bedroom

The final tip to bring excitement into any relationship is to spice things up in the bedroom. Your sex life has a strong correlation with the strength and satisfaction of your relationship. So try exploring a new position or even a sexual fantasy or adult toy with your partner, and in so doing share something intimate and bring some excitement into your marriage.

What Makes A Good Marriage Good

Most people get into a marriage with high and full spirits. They know fully well what they are getting into and accept this with an open heart. While you may say that there is a lot of hype in marriages especially on the days leading up to the wedding day, it can get a bit difficult to maintain this momentum. 

There are many sad stories told about marriages dissolving because they had trouble maintaining the lives they had imagined they would have with each other. But everyday can’t be a honeymoon. While there are indeed good marriages, there are also partners who eventually lose the heat. 

Without questioning the devotion and love one partner feels for the other and vice versa, a couple may find their marriage at times to be monotonous and in a humdrum. 

A good marriage should always be stimulating for both person involved and should make each other to look forward to another day with each other. It should provide a union that doesn’t erase ones individuality. 

Good marriages just doesn’t happen, it’s not just about love, devotion and compatibility. Both man and woman should work hard to make a marriage good and keep it that way. 

Some tips on a Good Marriage

Be spontaneous and have different interests. It is always good to keep the other guessing. Do not have a predictable marriage that would make the union boring. Have different interests that you could share with your partner.

Be adventurous in the bedroom. Your sex life should be more than satisfactory. Experimenting is not a bad idea. Make your bed room romps something each one always looks forward to. Do not be critical with each other as well in making love. Learn to appreciate and communicate. 

And never forget to have fun. Be a child with each other, remember the good times when you were just dating, try to impress one another and don’t take each other for granted.

Infidelity: Discovered 10 Ways To Calm Your Powerful Feelings

When you find out about the affair, the first few hours, days and weeks can be emotionally wrenching to say the least. Or, if someone you deeply care about begins “pulling away” you may also experience intense feelings. Read through this list and pick out a couple things you can do to help yourself during these times. 

1. Walk. Run, if you are fit enough to run. Work out. Get the blood flowing. Physical exercise drains off the adrenaline and physically you feel better. You also think better of yourself because you are caring for you. 

2. Talk. If you typically handle problems by talking them out, find someone who will listen as you pour out your heart. Give them explicit instructions: “I need to talk, vent, cry, rage, and question. Just look me in the eye, nod your head and listen.” 

3. Write. Get a kitchen timer. Set it for 5 minutes. Spend that time writing…anything, everything that comes to your mind. Don’t censor. When the bell goes off say to yourself, “OK, there it is. Now I need to get on to other things. I will come back later and write more.” Put the writing in a safe place or destroy it. 

4. Find a safe place and spend some time there. Do you have a favorite lake, wooded area, park, room, chair where you feel safe and can “get away.” Intentionally spend some time there.

5. Use good “self talk.” Tell yourself, “You are ok. You will be ok. This too shall pass. What you are feeling is normal and will not destroy you.” Develop that “observing part” that can speak to your turmoil. 

6. Pray. Meditate. Use your spiritual resources, if you have them. If you don’t have them, it can be a good time to develop them. Spirituality often affirms your worth and enables you to see the larger picture. 

7. Be aware. Notice what you are thinking, how you are feeling and what you are doing. Pay close attention to these chunks of your life. Just noticing often creates distance from the emotional pain. 

8. Encourage the rhythm of your feelings. Your feelings will come and go, often as in waves. There will be lulls and sometimes they crash. Notice the intensity and frequency of the waves. 

9. Get professional help. Supportive therapy might be helpful. Personal and professional coaching, often via telephone, is a helpful phenomenon that is increasingly popular as a way to find support and direction for specific problems. 

10. Gather resources. Start reading, exploring the internet and talking to people about your situation. Believe me, you are not alone. Many people have walked your path (well, not exactly your path, but close) and are there to offer their understanding and point out the bends and turns of your road.

Easy Steps To Avoid Depression

There seem to be so many people who are depressed that we really should take a look at the causes of depression in the first place. The factors that contribute to depression are well-known, and well-researched, but what causes it is not quite understood. New studies have uncovered some of the factors that contribute to the probability of people developing depression.

Stress

Stress takes the first place prize. It’s true that any stressful environment or situation can lead to depression. It can be anything such as social stress, getting a job, relationship difficulties, worrying about money, staying up late, lifestyle out of control, pressures of school and getting good grades. Other events that could cause depression are: death, change of job, moving from one place to another; even the fear of the unknown can cause depression. The list is endless. While these events cannot be avoided, we must come up with an effective stress coping mechanism to be able to thrive even in stressful situations because they are never going to go away. Stressful situations just keep changing.

Drinking and Drugs

People who take drugs and alcohol are more prone to depression. When these substances are used at a young age, they can effect a a person’s brain in negative ways. These substances help make the person feel good temporarily, but in most cases, people become addicted.

Drugs release dopamine in the pleasure center of the brain. For example: delicious food boosts dopamine release by about 50 percent. Sex, on the other hand, doubles this number. However, drugs can increase dopamine release anywhere from four to ten times. This unnatural high almost certainly leads to depression after the high goes away. This substance is the surest way to fry brain circuitry.

Drugs make a person depressed more than it makes him happy. This effect will spiral downward until the person doing drugs will want more and more of the substance to break the cycle of depression that follows each high and so the addiction is born.

Not Enough sleep 

Studies show that up to 40 percent of adults do not get the proper amount of sleep per day and among students, up to 71 percent complain of sleep disorders and lack of sleep.

Sleep is essential to a person’s health. During sleep, the body repairs itself and reorganizes thought. Lack of sleep contributes to a lack of coherence in brain waves. This scenario often leads to depression. Sleeping during the day and staying up late also interferes with the body’s natural rhythms. This can lead to a sense of depression.
-->
Here are few ways on how to prevent depression.

Sleep is a vital part of preventing depression. Balance your life with enough rest and exercise everyday. Most people require seven to eight hours of sleep per day.

Keep some regularity in your life. Orgaize your activities so they can come at expected and regular times. If your weekly, daily or monthly routine is set then your body has time to get used to the activities. This will lead to a reduced chance for depression to set in.

Don’t push yourself beyond your limits. Keep stress in check and try to avoid stressors if you can. If this can’t be done, then try to deal with the stressors in a manner that minimizes the damage it causes.

Sunlight and exercise can help the brain to function a higher level. Make time to enjoy the sunlight and try to stay active in the daylight when possible.

Keep away from alcohol and drugs. They may seem attractive, but all they really do is cause havoc in a person’s life.

Make at least one warm meal daily a priority. Good eating habits and good health are important when keeping away from depression.

Have fun every day. Nothing takes the load off of depression like some good old fun time. Social activities such as chatting, joining a support group sports, and other hobbies can do wonders towards healing a stressed out and busy mind.

Depression can be avoided and treated and it can be fun doing so. Follow the above mentioned tips for a brighter and happier disposition each day. You will look and feel better for it!

Dealing With Infections

Once a tooth has been extracted, bacteria will still be alive in the mouth, even more so with those who have bad oral hygiene. Infections are very common following extractions. Depending on how bad the tooth was that the dentist removed, he may prescribe you some antibiotics to take that will greatly reduce your risk of getting an infection. In some cases though, even antibiotics can’t prevent an infection.

If you go to the dentist before the extraction experienced swelling of the face, swollen gums, pain in your teeth under light pressure, or bleeding around the extraction site, then you may already have an infection. If you indeed have an infection before you get the tooth treated, the dentist will prescribe you antibiotics to use following treatment. If you have a really bad abscess, you’ll need to use antibiotics to treat the infection before the dentist will remove the tooth.

In some cases, people develop an infection after the extraction, even though they may not have been infected beforehand. The reason for this, is bacteria. Following an extraction, bacteria will be more alive in the mouth than ever before. With the extraction site being exposed, the bacteria will be able to get into the site. This can lead to an infection due to the site being exposed and the fact that you are unable to use mouthwash or brush during the first 24 – 48 hours. Not being able to sterilize your mouth means that you are unable to kills the germs responsible for bacteria.

After extractions, the first sign of infection is renewed bleeding. This normally occurs around 48 hours after the extraction. Even though it normally isn’t severe, you should still call your dentist and make an appointment to be seen. Your dentist will be able to stop the bleeding and give you some antibiotics and other prescriptions that will fix the problem.

Some dentists prefer to give patients antibiotics before they will do any type of extraction. Although you may not have an abscess, most dentists prefer to get rid of the infection before they start doing their work. They do this because they know the local anesthesia won’t work all that good with infections, and it may take them a lot of work and a lot of medicine to numb the area that you have the infection in.

In the event that the tooth has to be removed and the dentist simply cannot wait a few days, it is possible to get you numbed. Although it will take quite a bit of medicine to numb the area, it can be done. Sometimes, dentists will choose to use an IV sedation or laughing gas, in the event that local numbing doesn’t help. An IV sedation will normally put you to sleep or knock you out, so that the dentist can remove the tooth that is causing you so much trouble.
-->
Even though infections can cause a lot of pain and need to be dealt with immediately, you may not have to take antibiotics once the dentist has extracted the tooth. If your mouth is clean and you don’t have a lot of germs, you can normally heal the would by taking care of it. Rinsing your mouth out with salt water for the first few days will keep the extraction site clean. As long as you take care of the extraction site and do what your dentist tells you, you shouldn’t have any further problems with the extraction site or the infection.

Guide And Tips For Your New Baby

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! You are having a new baby! Now, on to the serious stuff. You are going to get yourself prepared for your new baby, mentally, physically and you will need to adjust your house and car for the new baby too! 

Mentally preparing for the new baby 

Remember this, women adjust to having a new baby faster than men; so, do not expect husbands to start being all fatherly after the pregnancy is announced. They are not like that. Women adjust better to the new baby, mentally, because they experience physical, emotional and psychological changes. These changes help them adjust to the new baby quicker. However, men start feeling the new baby when they see the bump or feel the flicker of baby movement over mommy’s belly. 

Physically preparing for the new baby 

There is nothing much a new father can do to prepare to the new baby. What needs to be done by a father needs to be done BEFORE the new baby is conceived. However, the new father can try quitting smoking, quitting drinking and other vices once the new baby is conceived. The new mother needs to do the same too. 

Planning for the new baby: the house and car 

With the new baby, depending on whether you are planning to co-sleep with the baby or whether you are planning to plonk the baby in a separate room affects the changes to your home. Either way, we recommend having a separate room for your new baby, even if the new baby is going to be sleeping with the new parents for the first couple of months. A baby crib, some toys, a place to put all the baby’s clothes, shelves to convenient grab lotions, creams, diaper wipes, diapers, etc. off near the changing table is a MUST. 

You will also need to think about getting a baby chair too; baby chair for the house (at the right height for the dining table) and a baby chair for the car (for traveling). Some baby chairs can be adjusted to fit the adult dining chair AND fit into the car at the same time. They are a little bit more expensive than the conventional baby chairs, but the multi-function is extremely convenient PLUS it is downright comfortable for your new baby. 

Other essential stuff for your new baby 

Frankly speaking, the essentials depend wholly on your own preference, budget and lifestyle. You can live without some of these things if you think you would rather not waste the money. 

If you have had previous babies before, you probably do not need too many new baby clothes. New babies outgrow their clothes terribly fast and it would be a waste of money to splurge on new clothes. You can get hand-me-downs from nieces and nephews too, if you want. What you should probably get are blankets, sweaters, coats, and clothes for going out. At home, your new baby is not going to mind old clothes. In fact, it is a fact that your new baby is probably going to like wearing the old clothes better than the new clothes. Don’t forget the feeding utensils like baby bowls, breast pump (if you’re planning to pump breast milk for your new baby at work), baby bottles, cloth nappies, diapers, baby wipes, lotions, shampoo, bath gels, towels, baby blankets, baby bedding, bibs, stroller, etc. 

And do not worry, you will do fine. The best thing to do is to get unbiased referrals from friends and family.

Divorce: Are You Heading Towards It Test Now

Divorce is not like a volcano. One fine day, we find that a volcano has erupted. Divorce happens over a period of time. The relationship breaks down continuously and we realize that life can no longer be lived together. Many couples wake up when the break down has become total. That becomes very difficult to save the marriage. After that they spend endless nights worrying about what to do – To go for divorce or not? Why not to take care of the relationship today and find out how it is and what care it needs. What changes will make it better? And improve it before it reaches the brink?

Ask questions such as – Am I happy in my marriage/ Is my partner happy? Am I emotionally satisfied? What about my partner? Is marriage giving us joy or pain? Are we still in love? Is one of us feeling victimized? Shall we grow together till our old age? Are we loyal to each other? What kind of relationship do we share now? Are we feeling sick of each other? And so on. Raise as many questions about your marriage, yourself and your partner as you can think of. Take some online tests and quizzes on marriage and relationship. That will give lot of thought to your mind.

As you think of questions, you will start thinking more deeply about where you are heading. Find out all that is going wrong. Try to improve that. Discuss with your partner about what you think. Find out all that is going right. Make it still better. Think, plan and act. Before thinking, test your marriage in all the possible ways. Wake up now. Tomorrow may be too late.

Strange fire amputates 5-yr-old girl on NOVEMBER 3, 2012 · in NEWS 6:41 pm 1 By Daud Olatunji, Abeokuta To Mr Idowu Bamgboye Ezekiel, a- 62 year-old pensioner in the employ of Ogun State in the Ministry of Finance between 1975 and 1999, life after service seems to be cruel. The ill-wind blew and almost scattered his life . And to worsen his condition, his wife and five year-old daughter were almost killed in a mysterious fire that chopped off the daughter’s two legs and part of his wife arm. This unfortunate incident, according to Bamgboye, occurred after his first wife eloped with his first son. His appearance at the NUJ Secretariat, Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, on Wednesday caught the people’s attention when he demanded an audience with journalists. When Bamgbose displayed the picture of his amputated daughter, it was like a movie. The tragedy hit the girl, identified as Mofolorunso Omotomiwa, and mother, Shakira, on February 11, 2011, she was crippled by a mysterious fire which also burnt his wife Shakirat Ezekiel’s arm. Consequent upon the incident, Bamgbose said was advised by his family members to send Shakirat away but he refused. According to him, his first marriage was contracted in 1989 and produced a son named Emmanuel but,his first wife, identified as Sherifat Omonusi, bolted away with boy due to his financial incapability. He later got married to Shakirat 17 years after. The union, according to him, produced the only girl child who has been now crippled by the mysterious fire. Bamgboye was a messenger with Ogun State Ministry of Finance between 1975 and 1999 when he retired and later joined a private security outfit where he collects N11,000 monthly as salary. He gave a vivid account of how the tragedy struck his family and submitted that unless public spirited individuals, especially Governor Ibikunle Amosun come to his rescue, his life that seems to have been scattered by the mysterious inferno might not be put together till he dies. Bamgboye, who lives at Osu-Egungunla compound in Ake, Abeokuta, accused his neighbours of nursing hatred against his wife, who, according to him, was suffering from epilepsy before he decided to marry her out of pity. The neighbours, he said, stopped his wife from cooking in the kitchen and at the passage which prompted her to be cooking in their one room apartment. The old-man said that if not for the insistence of the neighbours that made his wife to cook in the room on that fateful day, the tragedy would not have occurred to his wife and daughter. He narrated: “On February 11, 2011, I was on night duty that day as a security officer. I got a call from one of my neighbours who alerted me that my room had been gutted by fire. “I was told that the incidence occurred as a result of an explosion which occurred following the spill of kerosene after my wife fell down near the stove which has already been lit. “According to the person that explained to me, the explosion trapped my wife’s arm but was rescued while my daughter was not lucky. “He said that when they wanted to rescue my daughter from the burning fire, my daughter fell on a melting plastic bowl which affected her two legs. “They quickly rushed her to the hospital but all to no avail as the doctors said they had no choice but to amputate her two legs . “We were also told that, we should wait until her two thighs shoot up before they could carry out a surgery on her. “They took both of them (mother and daughter) to the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta and one Adisa Thompson gave them N5,000”. When asked what he wanted the state governor to do for his family, Bamgboye said: “I have spent a lot on this child and I am still spending. I want the government of Ogun State and the people to help me with money because I have been instructed not to give the girl certain foods and that I should bring her back for regular check-ups and that I would need to still bring her back to the hospital for the surgery to be carried out on her when her thighs have developed. I will need up to N1 million”. He however disclosed that Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs had been written on the matter but yet to get a reply. Bamgboye also claimed that he had attempted to get access to Governor Amosun but was unsuccessful.

To Mr Idowu Bamgboye Ezekiel, a- 62 year-old pensioner in the employ of Ogun State  in the Ministry of Finance between 1975 and 1999, life after service seems to be cruel.

The ill-wind blew and almost scattered his life . And to worsen his condition, his wife and  five year-old daughter were almost killed in a mysterious fire that chopped off the daughter’s two legs and part of his wife arm. This unfortunate incident, according to Bamgboye, occurred  after his first wife eloped with his first son.

His appearance at  the NUJ Secretariat, Oke-Ilewo,  Abeokuta, on Wednesday caught the people’s attention when he demanded an audience with journalists.

When  Bamgbose displayed  the picture of his amputated  daughter, it was like a movie.

The tragedy hit the girl, identified as Mofolorunso Omotomiwa, and mother, Shakira, on  February 11, 2011, she was crippled  by a mysterious fire which also burnt  his wife Shakirat Ezekiel’s arm.

Consequent upon the incident, Bamgbose said was advised  by his family members to send  Shakirat  away  but  he refused.

According to him, his first marriage was contracted  in 1989 and produced a son named Emmanuel but,his first wife, identified as Sherifat Omonusi, bolted away with boy due to  his financial incapability.

He later got  married  to Shakirat 17 years after. The union, according to him, produced the only girl child who has been now  crippled by the mysterious fire.

Bamgboye was a messenger with  Ogun State Ministry of Finance between 1975  and 1999 when he  retired and later joined a private security outfit where he  collects  N11,000 monthly as salary.

He gave a vivid account of  how the tragedy struck his family and submitted that unless public spirited individuals, especially Governor Ibikunle Amosun come to his rescue, his life  that seems to have been scattered by the mysterious inferno  might not be put together till he dies.

Bamgboye, who  lives at Osu-Egungunla compound  in Ake, Abeokuta, accused his neighbours  of nursing hatred against his wife, who, according to him, was suffering from epilepsy before he decided to marry her out of pity.

The  neighbours, he said, stopped his wife from cooking in the kitchen and at the passage which prompted her to be cooking in their one room apartment.

The old-man said that if not for the insistence of the neighbours that made his  wife  to  cook  in  the  room on that fateful day, the tragedy would not have occurred to his  wife and daughter.

He narrated: “On February 11, 2011,  I was on  night duty that day as a security  officer. I got a call from one of my neighbours who alerted me that my room had been  gutted by fire.

“I was told  that the incidence occurred as a result of an explosion which occurred following the spill of kerosene after my wife fell down near  the  stove which has already been lit.

“According to the person that explained to me,  the explosion trapped  my wife’s arm but was rescued while my daughter was not lucky.

“He said  that when they wanted to rescue my daughter from the burning fire,  my daughter fell on a  melting plastic bowl  which affected her two legs.

“They quickly rushed her to the  hospital but all to no avail as the doctors said  they had no choice but to amputate her two legs .

“We were also told that, we should wait until her  two thighs  shoot up before  they could  carry out  a surgery on her.

“They  took  both of them (mother and daughter) to the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta  and one Adisa Thompson gave  them N5,000”.

When asked what he wanted the state governor to do for his family, Bamgboye said: “I have spent a lot on this child and I  am still spending. I want the government of Ogun State  and the people to help me with money because I have been instructed not to give the girl  certain  foods and that I should  bring her back for  regular check-ups and that I would need to still bring her back to the hospital  for the surgery  to be carried out on her when her thighs have  developed. I will need up to N1 million”.

He however disclosed that Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs  had been written on the matter but yet to get a reply. Bamgboye  also claimed that he had attempted to get access to Governor Amosun but was unsuccessful.

To Mr Idowu Bamgboye Ezekiel, a- 62 year-old pensioner in the employ of Ogun State  in the Ministry of Finance between 1975 and 1999, life after service seems to be cruel.

The ill-wind blew and almost scattered his life .
