A young Nigerian man with an unusual medical condition leaving one of his legs suspended in the air will now receive treatment to be sponsored by the Kogi State government. The man was spotted by Barry Idakwo in a village near Ugbamaka, Olomaboro local government of Kogi State.


Ahmed Attah, the special assistant on Health to Governor Bello who also works at Specialist Hospital Lokoja revealed that the young man is expected in Lokoja today for treatment under the auspices of the Kogi State Health Funds for Indigent Citizens established by Governor Yahya Bello.

 “I can confirm to you that the young man is being expected in Lokoja today (he was expected Monday and yesterday actually, but the Secretary to his LGA who was supposed to have brought him was held up by some emergencies). Arrangements have already been concluded with the Orthopedic Surgeon who will attend to him once he gets here.
“This young man from Inele is going to be given a new lease on life.
“The Kogi State Health Funds for Indigent Citizens established by Governor Bello is accessible to those who really need it. And those who need it get it irrespective of tribe or religion, Ahmed Attah J said.

Celebrity Evans

Several weeks ago the media was awash with stories of a certain Evans (Chukwuduneme Onwuamadike) who was known as a kidnap kingpin and dubbed the biggest and richest kidnapper in the land. He had evaded arrests and had a field day beating security agencies in their own game. How he managed to pull this off is a story for another day. The media in their attempt to make profitable headlines and increase readership online and paper kept reporting him and even ran commentaries on mundane things such as his dressing while in detention. Some made documentaries on his wealth and opulence. The volume of information at the disposal of the public was alarming that at a time it seemed the public knew even more than even the Inspector General of Police and/or Head of the taskforce team Abba Kyari that arrested him. Everyone suddenly became an authority on the Evans story. Everyone suddenly knew something about him or at one time or the other claimed to have interacted with him. Nollywood Movie

Looking at the picture above brought back fresh pangs of hunger and memories of all the hunger I have ever felt in my entire life. I could not help but wonder what is going on in so many homes living under the poverty line. A lot of children crying out in huger in so many homes and some mothers forcing their dry breasts into the mouths of their last children who are still toddlers just to placate them. I just pray blood does not flow out in place of milk. Still looking at the picture, I can see some governors who have not paid workers’ salaries for months and some with several abandoned projects scattered across their states yet with high performance ratings only in sponsored media documentaries. The total expenditure of a single governor in this photo is enough to offset at least a month salary or complete one of the numerous abandoned projects. I hate looking at the picture because it exposes the folly of the Nigerian project where forex which is needed to shore up our economy

A great source of joy yet brings sorrow and and sadness. Over-zealous yet lackadaisical and taken for granted. Builds dynasties yet has destroyed dynasties. Builds bonds yet destroys greatest of bonds. It conquers all ......
