-

Properties worth more than N50 million were on Monday destroyed in a fire incident that gutted a warehouse in Omu-Aran, Kwara, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.An eyewitness told NAN that the warehouse, located on Aperan Way and behind a filling station, was stocked with foam and building materials.It caught fire at about 4.15p.m. and raged for more than three hours before the arrival of fire fighters from Ilorin.NAN reports that although no life was lost in the incident, police men from the Omu-Aran police division, assisted by some military personnel were on hand to maintain law and order in the area.An Assistant Chief Fire Superintendent, Mallam Mustapha Ibrahim, who led the team of firemen, told NAN that he received a distress call at about 5.30p.m. and immediately headed to Omu-Aran.He said that the intensity of the fire was due to the materials stocked in the warehouse which accounted for the huge losses incurred in the incident.Ibrahim attributed the fire to a suspected electrical malfunction, adding that the non- availability of fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment in the premises also contributed to the huge losses incurred.“We had on many occasions highlighted the importance of fire-fighting equipment, especially when dealing with volatile items such as this.“You can never tell when any incidence of fire could happen; so it is ideal for offices, companies and organisations to take precautionary measures to minimise losses,” Ibrahim said.The divisional police officer in Omu-Aran, Mr Adamu Zawah, told NAN that the command had commenced investigation to unravel the cause of the fire.Alhaji Rasak Jimoh, owner of the warehouse, said that he did not have insurance cover on the warehouse, adding that he was notified of the incident on phone and immediately raced to the scene.“I had just finished praying when somebody called me to notify me of the fire incident and I immediately rushed to the warehouse,” he said.Jimoh appealed to the government for assistance to cushion the effect of the fire incident.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election.
