October 4, 2023 Over 90 Kenyan Schoolgirls Hit By Strange Illness

Over 90 Kenyan Schoolgirls Hit By Strange Illness

Over 90 schoolgirls in a Kenyan institution have fallen ill, experiencing difficulties in walking, leading to their admission to a local hospital.

Health authorities in Kenya are actively investigating this health crisis, which has affected the female students of Eregi Girls High School in the country's western region. Additionally, some of the students have displayed symptoms of knee pain.

Jared Obiero, the regional director of education, stated, "The education department, the county government, and the public health department are committed to ensuring the children receive the necessary treatment."

On Tuesday, a senior official from the Ministry of Education visited the school to address worried parents and assure them that the situation was being managed effectively. He emphasised that regular classes would continue for the remaining students.

The affected students' blood, stool, and urine samples have been sent to laboratories in a neighbouring city, Nairobi, the nation's capital. The results of these tests are anticipated later today, shedding light on the root cause of the health issues.

 

 

October 4, 2023 Ministerial Nominee Balarabe Faints During Screening

Ministerial Nominee Balarabe Faints During Screening

During his screening before the Senate, the Kaduna State ministerial nominee, Abbas Balarabe, collapsed suddenly. This occurred immediately after he concluded his presentation and received praise from one of the Kaduna senators.

In response to Balarabe's collapse, Senate President GodsWill Akpabio urgently called for water and sugar while summoning Dr. Musa. Following this, a closed-door session was promptly convened.

Balarabe had been nominated as a replacement for the former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai. This nomination was conveyed in a letter Akpabio read during Tuesday's plenary session.

Dr Jamila Ibrahaim and Ayodele Olawande were also named Minister of Youths and Minister of State for Youths, respectively, as earlier nominated by the President.

Balarabe, a former Secretary to the Kaduna State government, had been appointed in April to head a 65-member transition committee in anticipation of Uba Sani's swearing-in.

It is worth noting that in August, the Senate declined to confirm the nomination of El-Rufai, alongside former Nexim bank Managing Director Stella Okotete (Delta State) and Abubakar Danlandi, a nominee from Taraba State. Out of the 48 nominees presented by the President, 45 were successfully confirmed as ministers by the Senate.

 

October 4, 2023 Tonto Dikeh Suggests Naira Marley’s Confidence Indicates Strong Political Backing

Tonto Dikeh Suggests Naira Marley’s Confidence Indicates Strong Political Backing

Renowned Nollywood actress turned politician, Tonto Dikeh, has voiced her suspicions that Naira Marley, the head of Marlian Records, may have influential political figures supporting him.

Dikeh's comments came in response to a tweet by Naira Marley after his recent arrest by the police. This arrest was related to the investigation surrounding the tragic passing of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, known as Mohbad.

Confirming the arrest, Lagos Police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin stated that Naira Marley was taken into custody shortly after returning to Nigeria.

Naira Marley later took to social media to share, "I would like to share that I have just arrived back in Lagos, Nigeria, to assist the authorities with the ongoing investigation... I must do my part for Imole. I will be meeting with the police with hopes for the truth to be uncovered and for justice to prevail."

A widely circulated video captured the singer being escorted at the airport before being taken into police custody.

In her Instagram post, Tonto Dikeh expressed her belief that, in a just society, Naira Marley would be in handcuffs instead of using his phone to tweet about his return.

Tonto analyzed Naira Marley's demeanour in police custody, stating, "Look who has come back to Nigeria to assist the police in investigating why he and Sam Larry tortured Mohbad... I ask again, who are those protecting Naira Marley? In the right country, he should be in handcuffs and chains rather than having a phone to tweet... Naira Marley’s confidence looks to me like he has some top political underdogs by his side."

Reports indicate that Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry, were accused of being involved in Mohbad’s tragic demise. This followed the emergence of documents and videos depicting the duo subjecting Mohbad to relentless bullying after he left the record label.

Dr. Paul Enenche Visits Collapsed Dunamis Church Building In Makurdi

Dr. Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, visited the site of the tragic incident involving the collapsed church building in Makurdi.

Accompanied by his wife, Becky Enenche, they arrived at the scene on Wednesday. Together, they inspected the building's remains on Mission Ward, North Bank, and extended their prayers to the gathered congregation.

The unfortunate event occurred at approximately 2 a.m. on Tuesday, during a midnight prayer session led by five pastors, resulting in the loss of one life.

Addressing the press after the prayer session, Dr Enenche emphasised the rigorous adherence to due diligence in all aspects of the church's endeavours, including construction projects. He expressed deep regret that a building that had hosted a fervent congregation for seven hours of prayer and worship just the previous Sunday had met such a fate when five individuals were inside in deep communion with the Divine. Dr. Enenche urged gratitude towards God for His miraculous intervention.

"As a ministry, we meticulously follow due diligence in our construction projects, and this has been our practice in various endeavours. Moving forward, we will delve deeper into the intricacies, encompassing technical details, and trust in God to avert such incidents in the future," he affirmed.

He paid tribute to the departed pastor, recognising him as a devoted servant of God who had dedicated his life to serving the Almighty. Dr. Enenche conveyed that the loss would be profoundly felt by the pastor's immediate family, the church, and the entire state. He reassured that while the cause of the church's collapse may not be immediately apparent, God holds the answers, and they would be revealed in time.

Dr Enenche concluded with a heartfelt prayer, praying God to grant the bereaved family, the local branch, and the entire Dunamis International Gospel Church the strength and solace needed to navigate this grievous loss.
