Trunkline explosion in Goi community

A trunk line which belongs to the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) carrying crude oil in the Goi community in the Ogoniland area of Rivers State was engulfed in fire and flames on Monday morning.

An environmental activist, Celestine Akpobari, who visited the site, disclosed that the inferno occurred just a few meters away from a military surveillance post. According to her, the fire immediately followed the sound of an eruption affecting the Agbada/Bomu trunk line.

"Goi, another Ogoni community, is on fire this early morning from an eruption on the 28-inch Agbada/Bomu trunkline belonging to Shell, which is just a few meters from the surveillance post.

"The first eruption which led to a serious fire outbreak occurred in the same community last July 10, 2016, leading to a complete destruction of livelihoods belonging to the entire Akpene kindred.

"The [United Nations Environmental Program] recommended immediate decommissioning [of the trunk line] and I think it is high time Shell remove their pipeline from Ogoni," the activist told SaharaReporters.

A Seven-Year Old Hungry and Helpless Boy, they Lynched to Death Forwarded by Abba Gamawa

November 17, 2016

Abba Ibrahim Gamawa (16/11/16) I have honestly been avoiding the news about the lynching of a seven-year old boy, hoping it will just fizzle away like all those senseless and unimaginable headlines we come across from mischievous media outlets like Newsrescue. I have had to drop my phone twice opon the sight of that headlines earlier today. But I guess the savagery of Lagosians is real, thus, a seven-year old boy was truly lynched and burnt to death. Subhanallah! From the Brexit, to the Trump thing, and now this! How the supposedly enlightened ones (we see Lagos as such in Nigeria) are displaying uncivility and even barbarity is yet another paradox of our generation we need to be mindful of. I wouldn't even dare to compare the value of his life to the Garri (Kwaki!) he stole, for an adage says it's unfair to say a knife is shaper than a stick. Before going further, I have to say that I don't have the vocabulary that will do justice to my sentiment at the moment, and q...

It will no longer be me but her. Love your new mum even more than you love me. Before you walk into her arms forever, let me give you some words to guide you. There was a day I was arguing with your father. We were screaming, Tempers were high. I was angry and He was angry. Then I called him an idiot! He was shocked, He looked at me asking how dare I call him that. Immediately I started calling him idiot, fool, stupid, crazy, I called him all sorts of name. Guess what he did?
