EXCERCISING AT 100
100-year-old Sarah
Stenberg’s exercise regimen puts many younger folks’ to shame. The
Bethany Saint Joseph senior housing resident in Holmen, Wisconsin says
she stays active with a three to four hour walk around the complex.
Normally covering about four miles, the centenarian told WXOW News 19, "This is what I do every day." Not just that, Stenberg takes no breaks.

STILL ON THE BENUE CRISES:Benue River can't quench their thirst...
KiNG JAMES YiYE in Makurdi...
The
crisis situation in Benue, North Central Nigeria is alarming, every day
Fulani herdsmen attack defenceless homes, killing anyone their sporadic
bullets catch. Women, children and the aged are displaced from their
ancestral homes even few kilometers to the state capital, Makurdi.
It was in October 2012 when, I was here in Makurdi to report life at the Wurukum Camp.
People
of different tribes were all gathered here, driven and displaced by one
thing; water they never needed, water released from the Lagdo Dam in
Cameroon.
Herdsmen Attacks: Tivs in Diasporans Warn of Dire Consequences
27 Mar 2014
By Senator Iroegbu
The Tivs in Diaspora under the auspices of the Mutual Union of the Tivs in America (MUTA) have warned that they can no longer tolerate the incessant attacks and killings of their kiths and kins in Benue State by the suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The group, which is a registered association of the sons and daughters of Tiv in the Americas (United States, Canada, Mexico), and a non-profit, non-partisan charitable organisation committed to promoting and supporting the Tiv communities and others both in Nigeria and around the world, strongly condemned what it described as the orchestrated attacks and killings of their people in parts of Benue, Nasarawa, and Taraba States by Fulani herdsmen and mercenaries.
BENUE KILLINGS: NO ADO ABOUT SO MUCH!
The e-generation has made the world so close yet so far. I have a couple of family and friends that i chat with so regularly but i don't remember when last we saw.
So it was via chat my good friend told me she dreamt. First week in February she said she had a dream that there was a war situation in Benue State. As it is in our custom, i silently rebuked this dream. It was one of those chats that would not mean any more than it was. A chat. Keeping up with friends. But today March 27th2014, no less than 1000 people have been reported dead in the media. I am careful to say 'reported in the media' because there are many more unreported cases in this 'war situation'. I will be as blunt as can be as i give some of the theories i have heard.

THE BENUE/ FULANI CRISES:A CASE OF SETTLER'S IMPERIALISM...Prof. Tor Iorapuu
benue liberation Alliance (BLA) press briefing MARCH 22 2014 NUJ HOUSE, UTAKO –ABUJA By Prof. Tor Iorapuu (Patron) Bar. Mike Utsaha & Ene Edeh Displaced indigenes of Guma LG in Benue State.
The objective of this important Press Conference is to add our voice to already existing information before the Federal Government, the Nigerian public space and the entire world, relating to the persistent attacks on Benue people and their ancestral homes over the years. The Benue Liberation Alliance is particularly scandalized that with all the first hand information before the Federal government, very little action has been taken in terms of providing adequate security and protection of lives and properties of the people of Benue.
