Four killed in well trying to retrieve bucket in Cross Rivers State

This is a strange story. Four men including two brothers drowned in a well in their compound at Ogoja Road, Ikom in Cross River State, while trying to retrieve a bucket that fell into the well.

According to a Vanguard report, the first person to enter the well was John Ushie, who lived in the compound. While preparing to go to work that day, he went to the well in the compound to fetch water but the bucket he was using to draw water fell in the well. He thought it was a good idea to try to retrieve the bucket but ended up drowning when he jumped into the well.

His brother, Boniface, who was not around when the incident occurred, rushed home and jumped into the well to rescue his brother but also downed in the process.

When Boniface didn't come out, another neighbor jumped in to try to rescue the two brothers and he too drowned. When the landlord of the house, Eyung Ebam, saw what had happened, he too jumped into the well to rescue the drowned men and...yes, he also drowned. Sounds like something from 'Tales By Moonlight' but apparently this really happened. Continue...


From Vanguard
“It was at this point that nobody was willing to get into the well and the National Drug Law Enforcement, NDLEA, officials who were mounting a road block close to the house called the Fire Service and they arrived soon ”, an eye witness told Sunday Vanguard.

The eye witness explained that when the Fire Service men arrived, one of them jumped into the well with a rope with which he tied the landlord who was the last person to drown  in order to pull him out. “He tied the rope around his chest region and gradually his colleagues dragged him out but when he got close to the point they wanted to grab him and pull him out, the rope slipped and he went down again hitting the others inside which may have eventually killed everyone inside,” the neighbour said.

The four bodies were pulled out by the Fire Service men and taken to County Hospital, Ikom Four Corners and the victims confirmed dead by Dr. Ukwam, the medical doctor, there. An official of the Cross River State Fire Service, Ikom, Mt Linus Ework, said he got a distress  call at about 7 am and he and his men rushed to the scene to rescue the victims but “it was unfortunate that it was a little too late as three of them were pulled out dead”

What you must know about change of course!

With regards to the recently released UTME results for the PPT option, it is obvious that many a candidate were victim of failure, and so many of you have the strong desire that you must go into the university this year, thereby the idea of change of course becomes your ultimate decision. As this eagerness continue to grow many of you ask questions like ''What is the cheapest course to get i university?'' Note that entering into the university is not the ultimate but how happy you will be when you graduate in your course, this is a relevant advice to you all who seek to change courses! 1. Don't Choose a None professional course, because you want your self in a university at all cost, THIS IS NIGERIA, if you graduate in a course that you know fully sure that it is not applicable to this country in terms of getting a job, you are deceiving yourself. 2. Don't choose courses you know fully well that you can't cope with all in the name of gaining admission in the university: I see so many post from inexperienced members of this website that tells you that if you don't score high in jamb that you should choose Education courses, if you go by that! SORRY FOR YOURSELF; To enlighten you on this, Education course is becoming a teacher, and teaching job is a Natural gift from GOD don't enter there because of your Low score because you will end up being the least in that field and by that SORRY FOR YOU; most of you can't even stand in midst of an audience of just 20 persons to deliver but just because they want to be roaming in the university like others they go into the wrong destiny. NOTE!!! INSTEAD OF YOU TO BE WASTING YOUR TIME IN THE UNIVERSITY; GO AND PICK UP A VERY NICE COURSE IN THE POLYTECHNIC. THE EARLIER THE BETTER. To give you a perfect example, one of my cousins who took jamb in 2004 he made 261 then , and he studied Education & Chemistry because he had this strong desire for teaching and wanted to realise this talent by adding more colour to it in the Univesity of benin, as at 2004 many of his classmates come to our house and he will be teaching them as if he was a professional, most times he taught me primary science and primary health education. As you are reading this post now, this my cousin is a Lecturer in University of Markudi teaching Chemistry in Faculty of Medical/pharmaceutical sciences. So my brother Education is a practical work not something you will sit inside the office even when you don't know what you are doing there.

30 Second Phone Chargers To Be Available In 2016? [See Video Of How It Works]

My Samsung S4 takes up to 3-4hours to complete charging and this could be annoying sometimes, but it’s an annoyance we’ve all come to accept.

Basically, there is no choice, you can either wait or kepp moving around with a dead battery.

Years from now, we will all be laughed at thinking back to our time, because then, there is a possibility that there will be a charger to charge your phone complete and fully charged for only 30seconds. A video of the prototype was posted on YouTube, watch it at the end of the post.

The secret behind that technology was unveiled by a company called StoreDot which is called Nanodot bio-organic nanocrystals. (sounds strange?) this sounds strange to me too, lets find out what it means bellow.

StoreDot is a company based in Israeli which recently demonstrated its Nanodot technology at the Microsoft “Think Next Conference” in Tel Aviv.

He said that at the core of the new technology was the use of peptides, compounds containing amino acids.

“We are modifying the surface of the electrodes with bio-organic compounds, peptides, to increase the chemical reaction to produce extra energy,” he said.

He also added

“It allows us to avoid the most annoying aspect of our smartphones, of which we are demanding more and more, and to ensure that we have a charged telephone all day,”

Breaking down this words scientifically using its terms,: you could be able to fully charge your phone in 30 seconds by 2016.

There are some things to note about the Store-Dot technology.

First, this charger is as large as a laptop charger, which isn’t really pocketable for traveling. I’m sure it’s also very expensive to make.

However, Its known that StoreDot will reduce the size and price of the charger over the year, Eventually, the charger is expected to cost twice as much as an average phone charger (around $60), which is a lot lesser than what i would pay for something as cool and useful as this.

This device is expected to hit market in late 2016, so we’re still a couple years away. However, in a mobile world that has constantly struggled with battery life innovations, this could be an important turning point.

Mercy Johnson Writes On Missing School Girls #BringBackOurGirls

The star actress writes on the missing Chibok girls. Find her article below…

Sometimes, our realities remind us of the pain of others. My reality as a mother is that I get to see my daughter every day, while the reality of the mothers of the kidnapped 234 Chibok girls is that they don’t even know where their daughters are.

I looked at my daughter and tears came to my eyes that some mothers have the privileges of seeing their kids on a daily basis while the mothers of the kidnapped girls can only console themselves with memories. Continue…

All well-meaning Nigerians must come together and help these mothers who have been in pain for more than two weeks and make the memory a reality — the reality of seeing their children again. Let us not for once think that the evil-doers who turn the realities of these mothers to memories cannot do the same to us if they have the opportunities.

This is not a war against select group of people; it is a war against all well-meaning mothers in Nigeria as injustice to one is injustice to all. Let the mothers rise, the men who love them should stand by their right hand and the children who adore them on their left and do all we can in our spheres of influence to ensure that the children come back home safe so that the mothers can smile again.

Can you pray? Increase the tempo of your prayers. Can you fast? Add extra days to it. If what you can do is protest, please do; perhaps you are a soldier and can go to the war front please do not sit still. You are a politician or a voice that Boko Haram can listen to, please speak.

We need the girls back!!! They are innocent, they have their future ahead of them, please do not cut it short. I dare say some of them will end up being the solution we desire to restore the lost and battered glory of this nation. Please don’t kill or damage the future all in the name of militancy.

I appeal to the soldiers and other security operatives, don’t be demoralised, please fight hard, fight more and fight on. Do not let this evil people for once think that they can get away with this. If they ever get away with this, let me assure you that we won’t all be able to sleep with our eyes closed and that includes you, your wives and children. If an Emir can be killed in his palace, who is safe in his or her home? Nobody!

I appeal to the political class and those in power, do not think that any right-thinking Nigerian would allow that this matter be swept under the carpet, this isn’t one of the matters we would keep mum about. We will continue talking, praying, protesting until you make the matter your matter. If your child were one of the children that was abducted, we would probably have heard of the end of the matter. Let’s not fold our arms and let evil reign.

Nigeria shall be great, only if we do the right thing and the right thing at this moment is to bring our girls back and alive.
