Top among the candidates on his list included Senator Annie Okonkwo who is seeking a return to the upper chamber; Prince John Emeka, a former Minister of Transport who claimed he won in 2011 but was played out in the chess game at the last minute; and the godfather himself, Chris Ubah who was set to replace his elder brother and former Presidential aide Andy.

B. Jayaram</b>, while being delivered of her baby.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> She was said to be undergoing a cesarean operation at the hospital, <b>Prema Sai Hospital</b>, Agege, Lagos State, when she gave up the ghost.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Her distraught husband, <b>Semako Hunpe</b>, said that the medical personnel at the hospital were responsible for the death of his wife as well as inflicting severe cuts on his baby, <b>Oluwasetemi Mary Hunpe</b>, while she was being delivered.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Hunpe further alleged that after his wife died, the hospital called a pastor to pray for her, hoping to resuscitate her. He is also angry that throughout his wife’s prolonged labour, the doctor did not bother to join the nurses in the labour room until it was too late.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The sad widower has gone ahead to sue the doctor and the hospital to the tune of ₦500 million. In the suit filed by his lawyer at an Ikeja High Court, Hunpe alleges that the doctor’s professional misconduct led to his wife’s death.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Hunpe averred that his wife consulted Jayaram on 17 February, 2014, for the purpose of ante-natal services. He narrated that when his wife began to notice pre-delivery signs on February 24, she went to the hospital and was, <i>''subsequently placed on admission and given injections, sequel to which she was ordered to engage in labour exercise for several hours without medical attention from available mid-wives and auxiliary nurses.''</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Hunpe said that he was invited into the labour room after several hours of intense labour without adequate care and was asked to encourage his wife, ''to push out'', as she appeared exhausted.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In the labour room, the widower alleged he saw a nurse apply <i>'Aboniki' </i>a balm on his wife. The nurse was allegedly rubbing the deceased’s abdomen with the balm, while asking her to push.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>"After this amateurish mechanism did not yield the desired result, they cut my wife three times to bring out the baby and placed it somewhere unattended to."</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He said that that there was no doctor present throughout the delivery. A nurse later went to call Jayaram, according to him. Hunpe said that his wife bled profusely to death owing to the unprofessional cuts she received. The widower alleged that Jayaram told him around 6:45pm on February 26, 2014, to call his pastor, as she did not think that his wife could survive.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He explained that he was later informed that his wife was dead. The hospital allegedly called a pastor to pray for the resurrection of the deceased. But the woman did not resurrect.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But the hospital's counsel, <b>John Adanike</b>, has denied the charges of unprofessional misconduct, saying the doctor performed her professional duty in the best manner throughout the time the deceased stayed in the hospital.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>"Our client denies being negligent in any manner or being guilty of any professional misconduct.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><br /></i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>"Consequently, our client denies liability to pay damages in the sum of ₦500 million or any sum at all.

They don’t.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> They represent a small faction of fanatical extremists who have hijacked Islam to justify their nefarious trade in terror, and grotesquely and deliberately distorted the meaning of the Qur'an for the same purpose.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> They can chant ‘God is great’ all they like, but their currency is death and destruction not genuine religious ideology.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> And their excuse for all this mayhem is predicated entirely on a pack of lies; <b>the Prophet Mohammad never advocated killing people who blasphemed him. Nor does the Qur'an tell anyone to do that, or even mention blasphemy</b>.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As my former CNN colleague Fareed Zakaria pointed out today, draconian punishment for blasphemy, including in many cases death, has been created in law by Muslim nations intent on suppressing their people.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> So when these barbaric assassins scream that they are ‘avenging the Prophet’, they’re doing nothing of the sort. They’re just using him as an excuse to commit murder.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It’s a sickening deceit.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But they don’t give a damn what I, or most of the West, think about them.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> All they care about is spewing their hateful rhetoric and violence as chaotically as possible, preying on the impressionable vulnerability of many disenfranchised young Muslims who live, for the main, in poverty and hopelessness.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This is not going to be an easy war to win.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Terror groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda are a hideously difficult enemy to combat because they exist in so many varied and amorphous guises around the world, some large in number, some tiny.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Nobody really knows how many there are, or where they reside.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But they’re increasing in number and as we’ve seen, they’ve growing more audacious in their attacks.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Beheading hostages and gunning down cartoonists may seem particularly horrific to us, but to them – many of who have fought on the brutal battlefields of Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan - it’s just another day at the office.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> They’re going to keep on committing these outrages, and the scale of them is going to get bigger.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It’s going to be the new normal. They’re going to attack us in our restaurants, churches, shopping malls and modes of transport.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It’s going to severely test our collective resolve, and we’re all going to have to face up to it with the same defiant stoicism that Britain showed when Hitler or the IRA tried to bomb us into submission, and which New Yorkers displayed after 9/11.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As to what can be done to curb this threat, the West’s traditional response of invading and bombing the countries that harbor them - along with our arrogant attempts to force our brand of <b>'freedom and democracy'</b> down their unwilling throats - has been a spectacularly self-defeating failure that has simply served to dramatically increase support for the terrorists.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Every Drone strike that strays and kills innocent civilians in the Middle East acts as a perfect recruiting agent for hundreds, if not thousands more vengeful members of Islamic State.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Every day that Guantanamo Bay stays open, keeping people prisoner without charge or trial for years on end, is used as a perfectly justifiable example of America acting as just the same repressive, inhumane, law-flouting regime that it professes to abhor.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We need different thinking, smart leadership, effective military action where appropriate, and a firm coalition of global intelligence to thwart the attacks.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But there is a limit to what the West can do on its own.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What’s really required right now is for the Muslim world to stand up, be counted and cry: ‘ENOUGH!’</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I want to hear the leaders of predominantly Muslim countries, like Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, come out and condemn these murderous bastards, without equivocation.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> To denounce them as non-Muslims, to urge REAL Muslims - the vast majority who loathe these extremists as much as we do - to rise up against them, alienate and marginalize them, root them out of their society.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In short, I want real Muslims to reclaim their Islam faith and to make it crystal clear that these terrorists don’t act in their name, nor the name of the Prophet Mohammad.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As a journalist for 30 years, and someone whose wife was born and raised in Paris, I feel particularly incensed by what’s just happened in that wonderful city to so many fellow journalists and Parisians.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I’m no great advocate for the kind of savage satirical stuff Charlie Hebdo used to pump out. Some of it was funny, some plain nasty.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But they were a non-discriminatory offender, everyone copped it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> My own faith's leader, the Pope, was lampooned far more regularly and wickedly than the Prophet Mohammad ever was.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Yet I didn't see Roman Catholics storming to Paris to kill everyone involved in mocking him.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Why should one religion be afforded special rights to being offended?</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In the end, it comes down to this: killing someone for drawing an offensive cartoon is infinitely more offensive than any cartoon could possibly be.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> And if you don't agree with that premise, then you are as deluded as those who inflict the terror - and should have these words tattooed on your forehead: <i><b>JE SUIS STUPIDE</b></i>. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Follow him at  <a href="https://twitter.com/piersmorgan">https://twitter.com/piersmorgan</a> and on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/piersmorgan">https://www.facebook.com/piersmorgan</a></b></div> <br /> <br /> <b>Source: <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2903930/PIERS-MORGAN-accept-Paris-murderers-aren-t-real-Muslims-won-t-MUSLIM-world-say-too.html">Daily Mail</a></b><br /> <br />
