Martha was rinsing dishes one evening when she saw what she believed to be a small snake slithering around her kitchen sink. Panicked, she trapped it under a glass and called the local wildlife rescue. The vet arrived, expecting a routine snake retrieval. However, upon closer inspection, his face blanched. He stared at Martha, his voice trembling, “That’s not a snake. It’s far worse.”

Martha looked at veterinarian George, whose face looked pale. “What do you mean it’s not a snake?” she asked, her voice filled with fear. Her hand trembled as she pressed the glass down, feeling the snake moving around inside it…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

George searched for the right words, not wanting to scare Martha even more. Suddenly, he grabbed his phone and began to walk away. “Keep your hand on the glass. I have to call someone.” He walked out of the front door, leaving Martha alone, struggling against the snake’s strength. With the size of this thing, she was sure one bite would be enough to kill her. Her heart raced as she waited. Just as her hand began to cramp, George returned.

“What took you so long?” she blurted out. But what animal was actually in Martha’s drain? Why was vet George acting so strange, and why didn’t he want to help her?

In the days before Martha discovered the animal in her drain, she had noticed strange sounds echoing through her house at night. At first, she had just assumed it was her house settling or something like that, but each night, it was somewhere else inside her house. After a week, she began to hear those sounds during the day as well. She called an exterminator the same day, but when they came by, they told her she didn’t have a single termite in her walls or ceilings. She was back to square one but was exhausted and annoyed at this point.

While washing her dishes, she got lost in thought, thinking about moving away, when she suddenly felt something move past her hand. Martha drained the sink immediately. When it was almost empty, she saw the end of what she thought to be a snake’s tail disappear into her drain. Without thinking, Martha grabbed a glass and placed it over her drain, not wanting the snake to slither into her house. With her other hand, she reached for her phone and called Animal Control.

After what felt like ages, someone rang her doorbell. “Come through the back door!” she yelled as loud as she could, hoping the person at the door would hear her. She didn’t want to leave her spot, as she didn’t want to risk the glass falling over. She heard the person at the door move around her house, and finally, a man stepped into her kitchen. The man introduced himself as George, a vet. Martha explained what she had seen and told George the animal was still underneath the glass.

Intrigued, George stepped closer, and Martha lifted the glass slightly. After peeking underneath the glass, he shot upright and gasped, “That’s not a snake!” George yelled, his eyes wide in shock. Martha couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “We need professional help.”

Martha’s anxiety spiked as George refused to assist her directly. “You can’t leave me like this!” she cried, her voice trembling with panic.

George backed away, his face pale. “I’m sorry, Martha, but this is beyond my expertise,” he said, his voice shaky.

Martha’s mind raced as the creature’s movements became more aggressive, shaking the glass. She looked at George with pleading eyes. George stepped back and quickly dialed a number, speaking urgently. “Hello, yes, this is Dr. George Carson. I need immediate assistance at 345 Maple Street,” he said, his voice rising with each word.

Martha’s heart pounded as she tried to keep the creature contained. George continued, “It’s not a snake—it’s something else. Please hurry.” He hung up and glanced at Martha. “Help is on the way.”

Two more people arrived, equipped with heavy-duty gloves and tools. They moved quickly but carefully, their eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and concern. George took charge, instructing the team to contain the creature immediately. The team swiftly lifted the glass, securing the creature in a containment box in one coordinated move. They trapped it without giving it a chance to escape. Martha watched, her breath caught in her throat.

George assured Martha that it was over, though his tone was far from comforting. “We’ve got it contained. We need to monitor it,” George said, directing the team. Martha’s eyes never left the box.

“What now?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

George sighed, looking at her with a mixture of empathy and concern. “Now we figure out what this is.”

She demanded answers, her eyes locked onto George’s. “What is it, George? I need to know,” she said, her voice firm.

“All right, Martha,” he said reluctantly. “You deserve the truth.” George sighed and told Martha she needed to see something. “All right, come with me,” he said, leading her toward the containment box. The team gathered around as George prepared to reveal the truth. He carefully unlatched the containment box, his movements slow and deliberate. “Take a look,” he said, opening it further.

Martha took a deep breath and leaned closer, her eyes widening with curiosity and fear. “What is it?” she asked softly.

Martha gasped, recoiling at the sight of a large, indigo-pink tail. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before. “What is that?”

George quickly closed the lid, sealing the box once more. “It’s not a snake,” he said quietly, his eyes meeting hers. “It’s something much rarer,” he said.

Martha’s mind raced with confusion at the strange creature. She tried to piece together everything she had seen and heard. “How did it get here?”

“It’s a lot to take in,” George said gently. Martha nodded, still trying to comprehend the reality of the situation.

“What does it mean?” she asked, her voice small.

George took a deep breath, ready to explain. “It’s a creature we’ve rarely encountered,” he began, his tone serious.

She questioned George, her voice filled with fear and curiosity. “What exactly is it? How did it end up here?”

George hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “Martha, this creature is unlike anything we’ve seen around here,” he began.

Martha’s eyes widened. “You have to tell me more,” she insisted.

George sighed, looking at his colleagues before continuing. “All right, but you need to be prepared,” George continued. “It’s something we’ve dealt with before.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Martha felt a shiver run down her spine. “But why my house?” she wondered aloud.

Martha’s confusion deepened as George hinted at a larger issue. “There’s more to this than just one creature,” he said, his tone serious.

Martha’s eyes narrowed. “What aren’t you telling me, George?” she demanded.

He sighed, rubbing his temples. “It’s not just your house, Martha. There have been other incidents nearby,” he admitted.

George revealed the creature was actually a large, aggressive rat. “It’s a species known for its size and aggression,” he explained.

Martha’s eyes widened in disbelief. “A rat that big?” she exclaimed.

George nodded. “Yes, and it’s more dangerous than a typical rat,” he said.

Martha felt a mix of relief and alarm at the revelation. “So it’s not some exotic creature, but it’s still scary,” she said.

George nodded, his expression serious. “We need to be cautious. These rats can cause significant damage and spread disease,” he warned.

Martha took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. “What do we do now?” she asked, looking at George and the team for answers.

“We handle it carefully,” George replied. A team member detailed their encounter with such elusive rodents. “They’re smart and hard to catch,” one team member said. “We’ve seen them hide in the smallest spaces.”

Martha shivered at the thought. “How do we get rid of them?” she asked.

George explained their plan. “We’ll set traps and use specialized equipment to ensure they’re gone,” he said.

Martha nodded, feeling a bit more reassured. “Thank you.”

Martha watched them, feeling a mix of gratitude and lingering fear. “I’ll help however I can,” she offered.

George smiled reassuringly. “But just stay safe, Martha,” he said. “We’ve got this under control.”

Martha decided to check her entire drainage system for more rats. The idea of missing any of those creatures made her skin crawl. She called pest control to thoroughly inspect her house. “I need a full sweep,” she explained to the operator. “Top to bottom.” They assured her a team would arrive shortly.

When the pest control team showed up, Martha felt a small sense of relief. The pest control team found a whole rat colony underneath her house. “We’ve got a big problem here,” the lead technician said, shaking his head.

Martha’s stomach dropped. “You found how many?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

“Too many,” he replied, “but don’t worry—we’ll handle it.”

They set traps and used specialized equipment to clear the infestation. Martha could hardly believe it. Her home had been a haven for these creatures, and she hadn’t known. The team cleared the rats, allowing Martha to return home safely. “We’ve got them all,” the technician assured her.

Martha breathed a sigh of relief, though the thought of what had been under her house still made her uneasy. “Thank you

so much.”

Despite the removal, Martha no longer felt at ease in her home. Every creak and rustle set her on edge. She found herself checking and re-checking the places where the rats had been. “I can’t live like this,” she thought, frustration mounting.

Martha realized she had to make a change. She put her house up for sale, unwilling to stay any longer. The decision wasn’t easy, but she knew it was the right one. “I can’t live with the memories of those rats,” she thought. She contacted a realtor and started the process. She moved to a different part of town, seeking peace. The new neighborhood was quieter, with tree-lined streets and friendly neighbors.

As she settled into her new home, Martha felt the tension slowly leave her body. “I can finally breathe again,” she sighed, smiling as she explored her new surroundings. The fresh start was just what she needed. To prevent future incidents, she adopted two cats. “Meet Whiskers and Shadow,” she introduced them to her friends.

Martha felt more secure knowing her cats would deter any returning rats. Whiskers and Shadow were always on patrol, their playful antics a constant source of amusement. “You two are the best decision I ever made,” she said, petting them fondly.

With each passing day, the memories of the old house faded, and Martha felt truly at peace in her new home. She smiled, watching her cats play in the sun, knowing she had found happiness again.

July 29 In Nigerian History: Aguiyi-Ironsi And Fajuyi Assassinated In Ibadan

Published

Aguiyi-Ironsi (L) and Adekunle Fajuyi (R)

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.

A second coup since independence which happened on July 29, 1966, would see to the brutal death of Nigeria’s Supreme Commander, General J.T.C Aguiyi-Ironsi (the nation’s 1st military head of state) and his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, who was the sitting and 1st Military Governor of the Western Region…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest at the Government House, Ibadan, as he came to hold a meeting with traditional rulers in the Western region. Ironsi arrived Ibadan the previous day and unknowingly, he met his death during the counter-coup which is generally believed to be a retaliation to the January 15th 1966 coup in which prominent Northerners in power were killed.

The Northerners were believed to hold a grudge since the first coup as they lost leaders including Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Nigerian Prime Minister) and Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region). They tagged it an ‘Igbo Coup’ as no Eastern casualty was recorded in both the military and public service as even the West lost Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in the coup.

This counter-coup of July 29, 1966, led by General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was tagged the bloodiest coup by many in the history of Nigeria.

Read a comprehensive account of how Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed here.

Aside from the Head of State and Western Military governor, many other casualties were recorded in the army and most killed or maimed were Easterners, particularly Igbos.

54 years after, we remember this gruesome act done in the Brown Roof City and how much has happened or changed since then.

This Is Why An American Magazine Labelled Sani Abacha as “Thug of the Year” In 1995

Published

on

By

General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.

He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.

He is held by some as Nigeria’s most successful coup plotter. When he was still a Second Lieutenant with the 3rd Battalion in Kaduna, he took part in the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup from the conceptual stage. He could well have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the coup the previous January as well…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Abacha fought for Nigeria in the country’s civil war against Biafran secessionists continuing to rise through the army ranks.

He was instrumental in the 1983 Nigerian coup d’état which brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power as well as the August 1985 coup which removed him from power. He announced the coup which removed the government of Shehu Shagari.

When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was appointed Minister of Defence in 1990. With Babangida’s resignation, an interim government headed by civilian President, Ernest Shonekan was formed.

Sani Abacha became the first Nigerian soldier to attain the rank of a full General without skipping a single rank in 1993. In the same year, he moved for the ultimate.

Shonekan resigned and transferred power to Sani Abacha in a move widely believed to be another bloodless coup. In September 1994, he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial.

General Sani Abacha

Abacha is noted for helping restore peace and democracy to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the civil wars.

On his administration of the Nigerian state proper, he established The Petroleum Trust Fund aimed to address major economic issues facing the country at the time. Between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Kano, Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt was planned to be constructed each. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996.

There was a restructuring of major insurance companies that supported SMEs across the entire country.

Abacha mandated the PTF to publicise its accounts as it was the second-largest public corporation at the time. In 1997, the account of PTF showed that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realized a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.

It’s curious the sums which emerged after his death that he stashed in overseas accounts as the Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements overseeing an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997.

He also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997. His Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund is also hailed for infrastructural projects and interventionist programmes in education, water and health.

His wife is credited with setting up the National Hospital in Abuja viewed as Nigeria’s foremost national hospital, which was initially set up as a hospital for women and children before its upgrade.

Nonetheless, Abacha was ruthless with groups he considered hostile to his administration between 1993 and 1998. There was a crackdown on the civil rights groups, media and pro-democracy groups.

It was also under him that Nigeria became a perpetual importer of petroleum products as the refineries packed up. The emergence of the ‘foul fuel’ which damaged car engines and released a repugnant smell was in his time.

General Sani Abacha earned the title ‘Thug of the Year’ from Time magazine in 1995 after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha developed the habit of working only at night. Availing himself to be seen publicly rarely while being averse to granting interviews.

The events of his death on June 8, 1998, at the presidential villa in Abuja are murky and while the official account is that he suffered a heart attack, other accounts say he was in the company of two Indian sex workers flown in from Dubai when he died. He was buried on the same day, according to Muslim tradition, without an autopsy. This fueled speculation that he may have been murdered by political rivals via poison.

Foreign diplomats, including United States Intelligence analysts, believed that his drink or fruit (apple) was laced with a poisonous substance while in the company of prostitutes.

Abacha was married to Maryam Abacha with whom he had had seven sons and three daughters.

In March 2014, the United States Department of Justice revealed that it had frozen more than $458 million believed to have been illegally obtained by Abacha and other corrupt officials.

On 7 August 2014, the United States Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture in its history: the return of $480 million to the Nigerian government.

Stashed sums in other accounts have been discovered with the Nigerian government working to have the funds returned.
