Hello folks, after over a year's absence from the blogging scene due to circumstances beyond my control, I have taken time to consider bringing back JimCaddys Blog from the doldrums.


There are going to be exciting new features to look out for. I will not want to let the cat out of the bag, but as time goes on, you all will begin to see new content on this blog as we aim to return back to the blogsphere summit.

Sit back, relax and watch out. Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement.

Cheers,

JimCaddy..

 The Abia Government has appealed for calm over the death of one Sunday Ugba, a Deacon at the Assemblies of God Church, who died on Monday night, along with six other persons in his house in Umuahia.


The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ugba and others, including four children that came on holiday in his house, died after taking suya and fruit juice.

His wife was rushed, unconscious, to Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, where she is currently receiving medical treatment.

Reacting to the incident in a statement in Umuahia on Tuesday, Abia Commissioner for Information, Okiyi Kalu, advised relatives of the deceased persons to remain calm.

Kalu stated that government had contacted all the relevant agencies “to investigate the unfortunate incident.”

“We wish to call for calm and patience to enable relevant medical authorities to properly determine the cause of the death of the seven persons,” he stated.

The commissioner conveyed the condolences of the state government to the relations and friends of the deceased.

Meanwhile, the spokesman for the Police Command in Abia, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, said that the command had “commenced investigation into the sad incident.”

Ogbonna, however, said that no arrest had been made, adding that “investigation is ongoing to ascertain the actual cause of the deaths.”

He appealed to members of the public, especially relations and friends of the deceased, to assist the command with useful information that could help it to get to the root of the incident.

NAN reports that the only survivor in the family and first daughter of the deceased, Ijeoma, had explained that she ate the suya but did not take the juice.

Ijeoma, who said that she did not suffer any ill health, told newsmen that her father and others that took the suya and fruit drink began to experience “serious stomach pain” shortly after.

“Barely one hour after taking the suya and juice, they started feeling serious stomach pains. There was serious commotion in the house, as everybody began to roll on the ground, crying for help.

“But after about 30 minutes, there was calm. Everybody seemed to have regained themselves.

“Around 10 p.m., we all retired to sleep. Unfortunately, in the morning, I woke up to see the lifeless bodies of my dad and brothers and the four children on holiday in our house,” Ijeoma said.


 A middle-aged man, Chibisi Irem, on Tuesday chopped off his girlfriend’s hand for allegedly dating another man in Ebonyi.

The incident, it was gathered, took place at Ishieke community, in the Ebonyi Local Government Area of the state, where the lovers run a restaurant.

Investigations by PUNCH Metro revealed that Irem had severally warned his girlfriend, Chinyere, of her alleged infidelity with another man in the area and asked her to desist from dating the man, all to no avail.


Miss Chinyere, it was alleged, continued dealing with the man, until trouble broke out between her and Irem, on Tuesday morning.

Irem allegedly attacked his girlfriend when they were in their restaurant serving customers.

The Ebonyi State Command confirmed the incident.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Loveth Odah, said,  “Police in Ebonyi State are on the trail of a young man whose name was given as Chibisi Irem, who allegedly attacked his girlfriend with a machete at Isieke in Ebonyi Local Government Area.

“The incident occurred following a misunderstanding between the two lovers at a joint being managed by them.

“The girl suffered cuts on her upper arm as a result of the machete attack. The victim has been rushed to a hospital for medical attention.”

A popular Nigerian lesbian, Amara has threatened that "her people" will burn Nigeria down if anything happens to her.

Recall that Amara had earlier shared a photo of herself with other lesbians hanging out together...'lesbianing and loving' she captioned the post.

 

Apparently after her tweet went viral, some people started tagging the Twitter account of the Nigerian police to her posts, hence the warning.

"see bah!!!! if you ever look for me. My lovers. if you ever look for me! Do not be quiet. Do not be fucking quiet!" She wrote on Saturday.

 

"For everyone tagging Nigerian police to my posts.  my people will burn down Nigeria. to the fucking ground. Let them look for me first" she added.
