Nigerian Migrant Who Gave Birth on Mediterranean Says Nigeria is the Worst Place to Be

Image
Francesca Marina Stephanie Samuel , the 24-year-old Nigerian  migrant who was one of nearly 6,800 migrants rescued in the Mediterranean, and gave birth at sea, reportedly stated that Nigeria is the worst place to be. She made the statement during an interview with  Reuters  when asked about her ordeal. “I didn’t expect the baby, you know, but she just like, she just came,” Samuel said. “I just wanted to leave Libya. Italy is better than Libya and Nigeria is the worst.” Speaking on her baby’s future, she said,   “God decides, not me … but I believe she will have a more good future in Europe.” Reports state that Samuel worked in Tripoli for two years as a housemaid to save up money  to pay smugglers for the trip. However, the boat she was travelling in along with 90 others stalled after barely three hours at sea. In the course of rescue efforts,  she was unconscious after suffering epileptic seizures and went into labor. She subsequently gave birth to a healthy baby girl

Man sneezes out toy in his nose after 44 years

Image
When Steve Easton was about seven years old, his parents noticed that the suction cup was missing from one of his toy darts, and they were worried he had inhaled or swallowed it. So they took him to the hospital, but doctors couldn't find anything. Yet for decades, he's suffered from sniffles and headaches he thought were a result of allergies. Now, 44 years later, it turns out his childhood doctors were wrong. In what must have been a powerful sneeze, accompanied by what he calls "a very uncomfortable sensation", the suction cup emerged from the now 51-year-old Easton's nose. "I started a sneezing fit and it came out of my left nostril,” he says. “I thought, 'What’s this? Where the hell has this come from?' and pulled out this rubber sucker." Easton called his mom, who told him about the hospital visit which he had apparently forgotten. Doctors at the time said perhaps she was mistaken about her son inhaling the suction cup, she said. "

Image
A radio station named  Radio Biafra  operating from an unknown location in Rivers State has hit the airwaves. According to  Daily Post , the station can be heard on 88.0 FM dial. The station is said to have just one radio personality named “Director,” and he often refers to listeners as “the indigenous people of Biafra.” Here is the report on the purported radio station: The anonymous Director, in one of his broadcasts, took a swipe at both the incumbent President and the President-elect for their recent activities. He consistently makes comments pitching the North and the West against the Niger-Delta, stressing people of the Niger-Delta were being “enslaved in Nigeria” which he refers to as a “zoo”. Taking a cue from the recent comments credited to the Oba of Lagos, HRM Rilwan Akinolu on the Igbo community in Lagos in the run-off to the Governorship election, the anonymous voice on Radio Biafra said words like ‘non-indigene’ should not be used in a country that claims it
