<b>Here comes a poser! A thought provoking one for that matter. Would you disclose your salary to your spouse? Chai! See people's responses. Who can one trust in this life. Let's read together what respondents told <i><a href="http://www.punchng.com/feature/adam-eve/would-you-disclose-your-salary-to-your-spouse/">Saturday Punch</a></i> when asked if they would disclose their salary to their spouses.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After reading these responses, please feel free to let us know your mind on this topic. Tells us if you are okay disclosing your salary to your spouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I May Not If I Earn More - Adejumo Mayowa (F)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It depends on the ethics of my job. I may resort to giving him a range of my pay package. The question is, is he ready to disclose his own to me? Also, how sure am I that after telling him, he won’t be hostile to me at home, especially if I earn more than him at the moment? The maturity of my spouse is important here; it will make me know whether to disclose the full amount to him or not. Actually, telling him will make life easier for both of us because it will help us plan for the future. However, there must be unity, love and maturity for that to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I Can’t Hide It Forever - Olayinka Olalere (F)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, I can tell him because as my husband, he is my only confidant. I don’t see any reason why what I earn should be kept as a secret from my spouse. If I do that, it is bad and I will not feel relaxed. Will I be able to hide it forever? He is my better-half because he is my spouse, not a concubine. He should know everything about me and vice-versa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I’ll Let Him Know - Adeola Adejinle (F)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He needs to know because that is one of the benefits of marriage - being a true friend of each other and knowing about the other person intimately. I cannot profess to be a good and true wife if I keep secrets from my husband. God forbid that someone falls sick and he wants to help withdraw some money from my account and discovers that I had lied to him, he may not trust me again. And that is where trouble usually begins.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>We Should Both Tell Each Other - Abosede Oluwaseyi (F)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has every right to know just like I have the right to know his. We should not hide anything from each other for peace to reign in the home. There is no point hiding what could be revealed later. Even if he does not want to know, I will tell him. A man may not want to ask his wife because of ego, but as a good wife, I will tell him. The only exception is where one did not marry a friend as a husband, or one marries a man who squanders resources and does not know how to manage finances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Telling Him Will Help Us Plan - Farayola Temitope (F)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If there is full disclosure, it will help us to plan together on savings and investments. We may both decide to keep parts of our income to embark upon a project. If we both keep what we earn from each other, it may hinder us from doing things together and that will not be healthy for our home. It may result to 'injury' and create a loophole for not trusting each other. It is better to disclose; it does no harm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I’ll Tell Her - Segun Banjo (M)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It takes nothing away from my life if I disclose it to her. I think it is pride or ego problem when I refuse to be open to her in this matter. We are one and we should be open to each other for peace to reign in the home. If I keep it close to my chest, she may not trust me in other issues also and this may ruin the marriage. Disclosure bridges the gap that an enemy may want to create for us to have problems. As long as I am not a cheat or an illiterate person, nothing stops me from telling her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Telling Her Will Breed Trust - Adejare Olubukola (M)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will gladly tell her; and when there is any increase, I will inform her. She is my better half and I have no other woman out there who wants the best for me other than her. Telling her will keep her trusting me and it will grow our love. Keeping secrets such as this is what destroys many homes. It will avoid unnecessary quarrel over the state of finance. When she knows how much I earn, she will know when it is finished. On the other hand, if she is kept in the dark, she may not believe me if I tell her there is no money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>If I Hide It, She’ll Find Out - Tolu Oyeniran (M)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, I will disclose it for purposeful planning so that we can both strive to attain financial growth. No matter how much I earn, disclosure is what brings security. There is no gain in hiding it. Even if a man tries to hide it, women have ways of finding out what they want to know except if they don’t want to bother about it. If companies could carry out annual audits of accounts so that they could plan ahead for the succeeding period, then I see no reason why a couple - who are in a lifetime venture -should be keeping secret about such a trivial issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>There’s No Point Hiding It - Adekunle Kolawole (M)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, I think it is a thing of disgrace if my wife does not know how much I earn. It shows how much I feel unsafe in hiding it from her. I don’t think I should allow money to be my master. As a couple, we are one; we should both know where it hurts either of us. Likewise, when things are rosy for either of us, there is no point keeping it. If we can see each other’s nakedness, then I don’t see any reason for keeping what I earn as a secret.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I Can’t Disclose The Exact Figure To Her - Hakeem Adeboye (M)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Salary disclosure on my part strongly depends on the amount of money I earn. If my salary is huge to the extent that it can take care of all our needs and much will still remain, I may not disclose the full amount to her. I will just give her a moderate figure. This is for security reasons. If you allow a woman to know how much you earn, the demand gets higher. She can even turn to one’s financial manager overnight.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Some concerned youths in Bayelsa State, under the auspices of the <i>Bayelsa Youth Vanguard</i>, have threatened to disrupt the Peoples Democratic Party presidential rally if President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience, comes with her husband for the campaign.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rally is slated for February 5 at the state capital, Yenagoa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The organisation therefore warned Patience not to accompany her husband to the presidential campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It accused her of causing crisis in the state and warned her to desist from that or face the consequences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The warning, the group said, was sequel to what it described as attempts by the President’s wife to destabilise the state and fuel needless crisis and political tension in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The spokesperson for the BYV, Precious Ebi Johnson, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said that Patience would only be allowed to come to the state “unless she retraced her steps or otherwise we will mobilise against the President’s rally.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement read in part, “We are constrained to issue this statement to bar the President’s wife from accompanying President Goodluck Jonathan to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, for the presidential rally on February 5.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Our action is well informed by the various steps and activities of the President’s wife in recent times which portend clear danger for the good health of our dear state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We note with regret the various attempts by the President’s wife to create crisis in the state through subterfuge or using surrogates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As things are, we want to make it very clear to her that she has to change this attitude or we go against her coming to Yenagoa with the President for the presidential campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Indeed, we may be forced to mobilise against the entire rally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“For the avoidance of doubt, we want to state clearly that we love our dear president. President Goodluck Jonathan is our own even when we have to add that we have not really benefited from his administration as expected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We dare say the President should not come to Bayelsa with his wife if she continues to fuel crisis and destabilise the state for no just reason except for selfish reasons. This is not Rivers State and we won’t allow it to happen.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said that the youths of Bayelsa would not allow Patience to step her foot into Bayelsa soil unless she retraced her steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Johnson said it would be wrong to assume that they were sponsored by anyone to issue the warning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement added, “We want to further state that we are not sponsored by anybody but certainly cannot just stand by and allow our peaceful state to be dragged to the mud, as she did in Rivers State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are no fools. The President’s wife cannot come to our state to dictate to us who to support and vote for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are matured enough to know what is good for us. Nobody should come and bribe our poor mothers and women with expired bags of rice and some money in the name of politics to mislead our people.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Three suspected Internet fraudsters, popularly called <i>Yahoo Boys</i>, have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>EFCC</b> spokesman, <b>Wilson Uwujaren</b> said the suspects - <b>Okpekereke Timothy</b>, <b>Stanley Odjighere</b>, and <b>Teminor Karo</b> - allegedly stole about ₦806 million from a new generation bank.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/metro-plus/suspected-yahoo-boys-build-hotel-houses-with-proceeds/">The Punch</a></b> reports Uwujaren said the EFCC discovered that the suspects had used the proceeds to fund some projects, including a hotel, among others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "The EFCC has so far confiscated the following property, which are proceeds of the crime from the suspects; one uncompleted 59-room self-contain hostel, a twin bungalow in Oghara, Delta State, one uncompleted hotel project, one bungalow with a swimming pool in Ughelli and a bungalow in Agbaro.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Others are one Toyota Venza, 2010 model; two Toyota Solara cars, 2010 model; two Toyota Camry cars, 2010 model and two Honda Accord cars, 2005 model."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The EFCC spokesman explained that three suspects were arrested on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The trio are part of a syndicate arrested over allegations of conspiracy, Internet scam and stealing from one of the new generation banks to the tune of ₦806,208,000. Forty others are still at large.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The theft was perpetrated through a system glitch linked to the fraudsters, in which the bank suffered a huge loss of more than ₦806m."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was gathered that the bank had told the EFCC that a review of transactions involving the bank with <b>Interswitch Nigeria limited</b> revealed that the bank was not reimbursed for the transactions consummated on ATM terminals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uwujaren said, "It was discovered that while many of the transactions involved were failed transactions, the amounts involved were not reversed, and all the customers were seen to have withdrawn the cash amounting to the sum on each day it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The suspects will be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are completed."</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>A father was shocked when his twin teenage sons made an emotional video where they came out to tell him they were gay. The Los Angeles twin, Aaron and Austin Rhodes, were in tears as they opened up to their father on their sexuality over the phone before posting the YouTube video online as well as filming their father's reaction.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to an Australian online news channel, <b><a href="http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/twin-brothers-aaron-and-austin-rhodes-film-the-emotional-moment-they-come-out-to-their-father/story-fnet085v-1227186819875">News.com.au</a></b>, the boys said they were relieved to be able to open up to their father on their lifestyles, instead of him getting to know from outside sources.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the video which has gone viral on the internet, the boys said they 'just wanted to tell their father' who they really were.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aaron began the emotional expose thus:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There’s some stuff coming out on YouTube soon and we just wanted to call and talk to you about it before.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I don’t really know how else to put it but I’m gay, and um, Austin is too, and we just wanted to call and tell you."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both boys then broke down in tears as their father tells them he’s fine with it, giving them his assurance of love and accepting them the way they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It’s the way things are, you know. You grew up in a lot different generation to me. I just don’t really know what to say. You know I love you both, that’ll never change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You gotta live your lives."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the video was uploaded a day ago, the clip has been viewed close to 1.5 million times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The boys left a simple message along with the clip saying:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"With 2015 now here, we think it is time to finally just be ourselves. We hope by our actions today, you can finish watching this video feeling encouraged and inspired. Thank you for all the support. We love you."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Ogun State Police Command has warned hoteliers in the State not to harbour thugs before, during and after the coming general elections.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It added that any hotel that ignored the warning and haboured thugs among guests would be shut down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The command’s spokesman, <b>Muyiwa Adejobi</b>, gave this warning on Wednesday in Abeokuta while talking on measures put in p;ace by the police command in the state towards having violence-free elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adejobi explained that from intelligence reports, the command had established that some politicians camped thugs in hotels and used them to unleash mayhem on their opponents and members the public.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, “We have sent signals to those who may want to come to the state, either before, during or post election periods, to stay away from the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They cannot come to cause any trouble in Ogun State. We have been talking to hoteliers who believe they will be making good money by harbouring these thugs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Any hotel in the state found harbouring criminals, the government will do the needful to make sure the hotel is sealed up, and does not operate for a long period. We have warned them and we are going to have another set of meetings with stakeholders."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While talking about other measures to avert political clashes, he explained that the command had held series of meetings with political leaders in the state and streamlined their campaign schedules in such a way that no two political would have their campaign rallies in the same town the same day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress have had their presidential campaign rallies in the State, and there was no incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We have been able to work with political parties and stakeholders, including the Independent National Electoral Commission, to harmonise the schedules of the political parties so that they will not be having rally in a town simultaneously."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adejobi observed that the strike by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria nationwide, had led to the congestion in the police cells across the state, because suspects could not be taken to the courts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<b>In what has been described as Nigerian military and para-military personnel inhumanity to 'bloody civilians', a young man who was alleged to have stolen some money from a female trader in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, was brutalized and dehumanized by some soldiers who happened to be at the scene of the incident.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The incident which has drawn lots of condemnation for the military men, according to photographs that have gone viral on the social media, happened when a young man was alleged to have bought a pair of boxer shorts from a woman at the rate of ₦500.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the story goes, immediately the woman put the money in her bag, like magic, all the money in the bag disappeared.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The woman reportedly held the man and raised an alarm that he used voodoo to steal all her money. As the brouhaha was going on, some soldiers passing by on a motorcycle decided to take the laws into their hands and descended on the hapless young man, with the intention to make him confess to the crime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite his denials of wrong doing, the soldiers went ahead to torture him endlessly, stripping him naked and making him swim in the muddy waters of the gutters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is this the right way to dispense justice?</div>

She awakes by 5am and doesn't sleep until it is past 12am and worst, she is ill-fed by this wicked woman, and the abused child's name is (edited).<br />The annoying thing is this little girl is the 4th girl that this woman has brought from her village to serve her; the previous little girls all ran back home because of her callousness and sheer wickedness towards them.<br />Last night, she beat the hell out of this little girl because of a trivial issue that happened in the house; she started beating her from 4am and didn't stop until past 6am, when I asked my wife to go confront her about this.<br />Please kindly get in touch with people who can take necessary actions against her, because I am scared that she would hurt this little girl badly or make her run away from home and then, something terribly might happen to her.<br />The wicked woman's name is (edited) and she lives in the boys quarter apartment of the address stated above.<br />I trust that with your publication, we will attract the attention of the people in authority.<br />Thank you."</i></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For residents of Ilaro, in Yewa South Local Government of Ogun State, the sight of a pregnant teenage girl simply identified as Ifeoma, whose age has been calculated between 16 and 17, is one that calls for concern.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the <b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/metro-plus/unidentified-person-impregnates-dumps-17-year-old-in-ogun/">Punch Metro</a></b>, the young girl who has been living at a dump site for some months now, was allegedly impregnated by an unknown man and dumped in the town around May of 2014 and the kind hearted residents have been taking care of her till she was delivered of a baby girl on the 10 th of January, 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Investigations by the paper reveal that <b>Ifeoma</b> had been beaten and impregnated before being dumped in the town, where she had been living beside a building on <b>Upper Leslie Road</b>, for over nine months at the mercy of the elements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The teenager who exhibits sings of mental imbalance, with such tell-tale sings like smiling when there was no need for it, and throwing nothing in particular into her mouth, was said to have been dumped by the roundabout by an unidentified person.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the fateful day she was dumped at the spot, the residents recalled that her face was swollen, while marks were seen over her body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sitting by two bagful of used clothes given to her by <i>Good Samaritans</i> and another one full of plastic plates, Ifeoma was also incoherent while responding to some questions put to her by <i>Punch</i> reporters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A resident who has been one of her benefactors, <b>Beauty Saliu</b>, a graduate-apprentice in a bead store in front of the building where Ifeoma stays, spoke to the newsmen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It was sometime in June, when I returned from a trip, that I saw this girl by the roadside. Her face was swollen and she looked like someone that had been beaten up thoroughly. She was always outside there in the rain and in the sun. At night, she would retire to the side of the building and sleep there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"After about three months, she began to exhibit symptoms of an expectant mother. She vomited and was sleeping endlessly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<b>Two transport workers, John and Yaro have lost their lives in a fire incident that occurred at Ijora Badia suburb of Lagos on Thursday, January 15.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
27-year-old <b>John</b> and 32-year-old <b>Yaro</b> were burnt to death in one of the buildings that were destroyed by the fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b>Punch</b>, another fire incident on the same day which occurred at the <b>Iwaya </b>suburb of Lagos destroyed about 35 shops, not fewer than 18 vehicles and 25 buildings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fire incident at both <b>Ijora Badia</b> and Iwaya was reported to have occurred at about 1.00am and lasted till about 6.00am.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the affected residents in Ijora, <b>Mr. Gbenga Ojajuni</b>, told <i>Punch</i> that the fire started from a power surge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We had not had constant electricity in the area for months, but three days ago, the power supply became regular. At about 1.00am, there was a surge in a shop, and the fire started.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We did not realise that two men were trapped in a room. It was after the fire had gone down, and we were clearing the debris, that we saw them. The two men were transport workers, and they were sleeping in the same room. The fire consumed our property and the goods in our shops. As I speak with you, we have nothing left," Mr. Gbenga Ojajuni, who lost a shop and a five-room apartment to the fire revealed.</div>

<b>Unless there is a miracle or a last minute reprieve, 2 Nigerian drug traffickers would be put to death on Sunday, 18 January, 2015 after their sentence was confirmed by the Attorney General of Indonesia.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b>Amnesty International</b>, the Nigerians, 38-year-old <b>Daniel Enemuo</b>, alias <i>Diarrssouba</i>, and <b>Namaona Denis</b>, were convicted of the crimes in 2004 and 2001 respectively, and they are among 5 other condemned convicts who would be executed on the same day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enemuo was sentenced to death by the <b>Tangerang District Court</b> in September, 2004, for attempting to smuggle 1.150 grams of heroin into the country from Pakistan in January 2004; while the 49-year-old Denis, who was reportedly born in Nigeria but travelled to Indonesia with a Malawian passport, was sentenced by the <b>Bandung High Court</b> in 2001 after being convicted of smuggling 940 grams of heroin at the <b>Soekarno-Hatta Airport</b> in Jakarta.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to his lawyers, Denis did not understand his trial proceedings as he was not provided with adequate interpretation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amnesty International reported that the 5 convicts are reportedly going to be executed on <b>Nusakambangan Island</b> while 1 of them is to be executed in <b>Boloyali district</b>, both in Central Java.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Death sentences in Indonesia are carried out by firing squad. The prisoner has the choice of standing or sitting and whether to have their eyes covered, by a blindfold or hood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Firing squads are made up of 12 people, three of whose rifles are loaded with live ammunition, while the other nine are loaded with blanks."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This will be the first execution under new <b>President Joko Widodo</b>, who had pledged during his election campaign that there would be no clemency for drug offenders, despite pleas from the European Union, the Brazilian government and Amnesty International.</div>

<b>Some stories are surely to be taken with a pinch of the salt with questions being asked as to the sanity of the teller of such. Such was the bafflement many have been thrown into when a certain man in Ghana, Kwadjo Peter, who has been trying to convince anyone that cares to listen how he died, went to hell, saw the likes of late pop king, Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II, the Catholic head that died some years ago.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b><a href="http://www.ghanacelebrities.com/2015/01/15/man-allegedly-returns-dead-says-cast-hell-includes-michael-jackson-pope-john-paul-ii-sort-crap-people-believe/">Ghana Celebrities</a></b>, <b>Peter</b> claimed that he died twice, spent some time in the after world gallivanting, during which time he took a trip to hell and saw the likes of Jackson and the Pope suffering. Not wanting to end his time there, he came back to life so as to put his ways right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Narrating his sojourn in the world beyond to <b>Peace FM</b>, Peter said he first ‘died’ whilst playing football with some friends, then was sent to the morgue. He somehow managed to revive again, but the attendant handling his body hit him with a stick when he asked for some water, killing him again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When he 'died' the second time, Peter claimed he gained the ability to fly in the spirit world and was calling out to his family but no one could hear him, until he met a bearded man who directed him to follow a narrow path. From the path, Peter claimed he could see straight into the hell fire, where he was shocked at the personalities he saw there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He stated specifically he spent one month on 'the other side' where he saw the late Michael Jackson and the Pope.</div>
