EAGLES EYE UPDATE

Empirical studies of archaeologists show that the oldest (arguably) living creatures hailed from Isarun and lived where today is known as “Iho Eleru,” loosely translated as Cave of Ashes. However, the cave which is said to have attracted renowned researchers, whose findings indicate human presence dating 13,000 years ago, seems forgotten in the relics of history. We visited the neglected tourist centre, and reports the significance of the cave to the Isarun people in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State. Some 13,000 years ago, Isarun, as proven by researches, existed, and was inhabited by humans, who found home in a cave in the area. Located in present Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, according to findings, bones of some men, who existed in the stone age, were said to have been found. The Isarun cave was discovered by a native simply identified as Obele, who was on a hunting expedition in 1922; he had rushed back home to inform community leaders of his discovery. T...

—Govs adamant on N22,5000 —-May settle for N24,000 By Johnbosco Agbakwuru ABUJA – PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with the representatives of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, did not resolve the controversy surrounding the N30,000 proposed Minimum Wage by the Tripartite Committee. Although the governors did not talk to State House correspondents after the meeting that held behind closed-doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, it was reliably gathered that the Governors were adamant on their initial proposal of N22,500 which they made at the eve of the submission of the committee’s report on October 6, 2018. But there was an indication that the Governors might settle for N24,000 which was the proposed figure by the Federal Government that was turned down by the organised labour. The governors at the meeting yesterday were led by the Chairman of the NGF and Zamfara state governor, Abdulazeez Yari. Others include the Lagos state governor, Akinwumi Ambode; Enugu state governor, If...

I thank God for making me an ordinary man with no professions but rather a traditional ruler that is a father of ALL without discrimination against anybody and that CARE TAKER of all according to my might. Let every professional man and woman "Speak God" through his or her profession in sympathy with fellow human beings especially in dire need of good health. A shinning example was laid by the founding fathers of the SACRED HEART HOSPITAL that never rejected any patient for being unable to pay money as a condition before admission or after and thereby saving many lives of poor Nigerians who would have died for not having money to obtain good health.

The doctor in charge told the husband to fetch blood to save his wife who had a few hour to live without the blood. The husband replied "Doctor, let me run to Ifo to look for blood money,...
