EXCERCISING AT 100

By Charlene Sakoda

 

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.

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.

THE FACE OF THE 21ST CENTURY BENUE

Benue State is in the middle belt. It is home to predominant Tiv race, Idomas, Igede, Etulo and Abakwa.
It is the food basket of the nation and is largely an agrarian state. Benué State is named after the Benué River and was formed from the former Benue-Plateau State on the 3rd of february 1976. As a 38year anniversary, this February has presented the worst gift of all. As i write, Benue is being robbed, rapped, hunted, maligned, defaced and burnt down. Herdsmen is what we are told. How can the innocent, unassuming citizen be protected?

Follow the link and see the face of the 21st Century Benue.
   
THE FOOD BASKET OF THE NATION...

IS WISDOM IN BENUE NOW THE FEAR OF THE HERDSMEN?

See in pictures, the plight of today's Tiv man.

Night after night these killings have continued and even into the day. This is what you would see along the Daudu -Makurdi road.

Billionaires 2014: The World's Richest Women

It was a record-breaking year for women on the FORBES list of the World Billionaires. Out of 1,645 billionaires, a record 172 are women – up from 138 last year. There’s no denying that women are still a tiny minority on the list, representing a little over 10% of the total.
At the top, Christy Walton reclaims her spot as the richest woman with a $36.7 billion fortune. The widow of John Walton has had that title for four out of the last five years. She has boosted her fortune above the rest of the Walton family members through her ownership of First Solar shares. That stock rose nearly 50% in the past year.
