Frederick Chiluba of Zambia

Frederick Chiluba ruled Zambia between 1991 and 2001.

Chiluba failed in his bid to run for a third term, even though he looted his country's treasury.

$58 million out of his ill-gotten assets in England were identified, confiscated and ordered to be returned to Zambia to assist the disillusioned and impoverished citizenry.

Satanic occurrences in different parts of Nigeria in this dispensation are on the increase due to the complicity of those in charge.  Indeed, ritual killings and unnatural deaths pervade the landscape while grief-stricken families and relatives mourn their loved ones without consolation.  Surprisingly, those in charge carry on as if nothing tragic happened.   This is sad.  Of worry, however, is the seeming absence of humanity in a sizable number of Nigerians cutting across social status, religious persuasions, and ethnic leanings.  Why is this so? Those in public offices are involved alongside their cronies.  It is everywhere, oddities and strange happenings involving human lives.  This dispensation has been characterized by difficult-to-explain deaths.  These happenings are not natural.  Fetish and diabolic incidents continue to occur without decisive efforts to curtail the same.  So much human blood has been shed for unknown purpo...

  The N35, 000 wage award recently announced by the Federal Government  has only relieved workers in Nigeria psychologically and not economically. This assertion was made by a member of the National Executive Council(NEC) of the Non-Academic Staff Union and Associated Institutions(NASU), who is also the branch chairman of the union at the University College Hospital(UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, Comrade Kehinde Abiona. ''The announcement has calmed frayed  nerves, but the government is yet to pay as at now. The review of CONHESS/CONMESS effectual from June 1st has not been implemented. The government says it has no funds. However, because of the N35, 000 wage award, workers were relieved psychologically, but economically the difficulties and hardships persist. We are yet to be paid the wage award because it did not reflect in our September salaries, Comrade Abiona stated. In his view, a former Oyo state chairman of the NASU, Comrade Fatoki Olusola-Cole, insisted that the wage aw...
