"Speak up& free yourself from the insanity creeping up on you"- ace sports broadcaster, Aisha Falode writes son's killer(s).

6 months after the death of her only son, ace sports broadcaster, Aisha Falode has written an open letter to Toba falode’s killer(s). 19 year-old Toba who was monikered Tyler Fray was studying music in a Dubai-based institution, he was thrown from the rooftop of a 17-storey building on February 15th 2014. Read the words of the grieving mother below.
“In years gone by, I read detective books and watched Crime series depicting how murderers sleep at night. How they wake up in sweat with nightmarish images of the soul they had taken, and are so filled with dread and guilt of their crime that they spend their night dripping hot, sticky sweat of horror at what they had done.

How they stare at the night, wishing somehow it would never come, I mean, murderers live in such fear wishing they could turn the hands of the clock or go back in time and re-enact the whole scene of their evil deed, so as to reverse the killing of their innocent victim.

Such was my naivety because death was so far away from me.  Then death came so close to me I can still feel its hot breath down my spine. Yet I see how helpless it has become for it cannot strike the same victim twice. Death is so uncanny, it takes a soul but it knows that the soul goes back to the Maker in peace, yet he is lucky because the person who wore its cloak, the person who struck the blow, the person who took breath which does not belong to him, becomes its victim.

I say this today, my son’s killer/s you have become the victim. Death has deceived you and is now sneering at you. You are in your own hell, a living hell, hades of which will be immersed in you for the rest of your life.

Toba Falode aka Tyler Fray would have been alive today, breathing, laughing, writing songs about life and oppression, songs about people like you, evil people who think they can oppress, suppress and kill just because they can, but he is not for he rests in the bosom of the Almighty his creator. You Killer had no right taking his life because you did not give it.

Killer have you ever gone back in history or do murderers have no time to read up what happens to those of their like who came before them? If you do you will know that the Avenger of Death is forever lurking behind you and one day, very soon and sooner than you can imagine, you will pay for your crime and your sins. The Bible which we uphold says vengeance is God’s and indeed the Quran as well says there is no hiding place for the wicked.

Killer, the sister’s heart you wrenched by taking her brother and confidant, the family you brought despair and misery on, the friends you left crippled with excruciating pain and I though drenched in sorrow by your inhumane callousness, know in my heart that the Avenger is upon you. 

You have challenged the Almighty God by taking a life He created by breaking His commandment that thou shall not kill.  Then like a wicked unrepentant soul, you walk the streets as if nothing happened? Believing in your ignorance that the one who created ears cannot hear and the one who created eyes cannot see.  Surely your conscience is judging you, you sweat profusely in the cold of the night, and shiver in the heat of the day, you jump at the slightest sound and you keep looking over your shoulder, petrified even of your own shadow and dreading the inevitable and knowing in your heart that death has cunned you and the Avenger is so close you can feel the hair on your nape standing.

Perhaps one day, your nightmare will end and you will free yourself but not before the Avenger gets you, forcing you to speak, telling the world of how you killed my son on that sad night hunting you in Dubai.  When you pushed my boy, a good son, and the hope of my future from a 17 Storey building. What a callous, heartless andcold-bloodedkiller!

How did you kill him, why did you kill him? Oh, lest I forget you, the witness, an accessory to murder. Only God knows what pushes you to soil your hands with innocent blood by remaining silent and protecting a killer from a most foul and heinous crime while the image of Tyler’s dead body haunts you at night, you said you wish you could have done more at the time of his death. Yes you can. Speak up and free yourself from the insanity creeping up on you and the long stretch of dark miserable years ahead, how did Tyler Fray die?

How did my son’s innocent blood splatter on your body? Did your bloody knuckle punch the life out of him, or did you smash him with a stone before throwing him over the balcony, or did you just push him to his death? Why did you say you would take the punishment for his death, why do people you call friends keep meeting such a fate around you, is it coincidence?

Do you know, that there were actually three people on that balcony on that night? The all seeing God, the omnipotent, the ever present…He was there and He witnessed that murder and He is calling you to account forTyler’s Death. Killer!!!!  Look! Feel!
Hear the sound of the footstep of the long arms of the law looming over you like the sun covers the earth ………….
The Avenger is upon you like the waves of the Ocean smashing against the rock there is no escape for God is a just God.

I know Toba is in heaven and that gives me peace.
What kind of peace can a killer give his mother?

Ebola: Dame Patience Jonathan adopts the new greeting method. (Photo)

The fear of Ebola! No one wants to take chances. First lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan who touched down Gdansk Walesa International Airport in Poland on Wednesday 13th August 2014 was pictured adopting the new method of greeting while exchanging pleasantries with officials and aides.

Rather than offer her hands for handshakes, Dame who was invited to the country to commission a training ship built for the Nigerian Oceanographic Institute simply smiled and rubbed her palms before each guest.

Behind-the-scene photos from Gabriel Afolayan's 'Awelewa' video

Actor/singer, Gabriel Afolayan travelled down to Seychelles to shoot the video of his new single, titled Awelewa. The video was shot by his elder brother/filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan.

“And it’s a Wrap! We just finished shooting the video from Gabriel Afolayan’s new single coming out soon called “Awelewa” . Video entirely shot in Seychelles. Thanks to Africa film factory, Government of Seychelles for the super support, Yureni (Actress from Shrimlanka, shaili the choreography from india, the Dancing group of Seychelles, and the entire crew from Shrimlanka and Seychelles. Well done guys. Watch out.” Kunle wrote.

"He travelled to Nigeria for better health care". Patrick Sawyer's wife defends husband's actions.

Decontee Sawyer, the widow of Patrick Sawyer has come out to defend her late husband who has been labelled a medical terrorist for deliberately bringing the Ebola Virus down to Nigeria. Recall that Nigeria was Ebola-free until the Liberian-American flew into the country on July 20.
Decontee, an On Air Personality in New York and a mother of two revealed on her facebook page that her late husband travelled down to Nigeria for better health care adding that he was as a man who had passion for life and didn’t want to die.

“I’ve read other reports in other papers (not the New York Times) about Patrick’s “recklessness.” I get where they’re coming from, and they certainly have the right to feel the way they do. However, as Patrick’s widow, I would like to shed some light on this from another perspective. One that only I, his wife, would know.”
“I knew Patrick better than anybody else (including himself). He had told me many times in the past how much he didn’t trust the Liberian healthcare system. He would tell me about how a person would get checked in for one thing, and get misdiagnosed and get the wrong treatment as a result. On top of that, Patrick was a clean freak, and told me how filthy a lot of the hospitals were.

“He didn’t tell me this, but I know in my heart of hearts that Patrick was determined to get to Nigeria by all means because he felt that Nigeria would be a place of refuge. He has expressed to me many times in the past that he felt passionately about helping to be a part of strengthening Liberia’s healthcare system, but he knew it wasn’t there yet, and he wouldn’t want to take a chance with his life because a lot of people depended on him… So, I bet anything that he was thinking, if I could only get to Nigeria, a way more developed country than Liberia, I would be able to get some help. How ironic.”
She continued, “It has been reported that Patrick avoided physical contact with everyone he came across during his trip from Liberia to Nigeria. When he got to Nigeria, he turned himself in letting them know that he had just flown in from Liberia.
“Patrick went to Nigeria for help so that he can get properly diagnosed, and not misdiagnosed in Liberia. And if it came back that he did have Ebola, he trusted the Nigerian healthcare system a lot more than he trusted the Liberian’s. His action, as off as it was, was a desperate plea for help. Patrick didn’t want to die, and he thought his life would be saved in Nigeria.”
Mrs. Sawyer also lambasted the Liberian President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who branded Patrick indiscipline and disrespectful for failing to heed medical advise not to travel. She stated that he wouldn’t have gone somewhere else for treatment if the Liberian healthcare system was good.
“I write today, not simply because of Patrick, but because of the broken healthcare system in the Liberia, and the government’s inability under President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (and other past Presidents) to fix it. Good doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers aren’t given the support they need to save lives.

“President Sirleaf went on CNN News throwing stones at Patrick, a man who can no longer defend himself, a man who worked tirelessly for Liberia. She should be ashamed of herself. I use to admire this woman, and was excited and proud of her accomplishment as the first woman President in the entire continent of Africa. She will always own that. We will always own that. It can’t be taken away from her. It’s something to be proud of. But this woman has failed her country.”

Ebola: Nurse who fled quarantine centre in Lagos spotted in Enugu

One of the nurses who attended to the late Liberian, Patrick Sawyer has fled quarantine centre in Lagos and returned to her home in Enugu. Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, revealed that she and the 20 people she made contact with within the state are under surveillance. The Enugu State Government have also been alerted of the situation.

"One has to know when to stop". Franck Ribery announces retirement from international football.

The legends are taking a bow. Bayern Munich Forward, Franck Ribery has announced his retirement from international football. In an interview with German magazine; kicker, the 31year-old missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil due to injury said it was the right time to stop.
“I want to focus on my family and concentrate on my work at Bayern Munich and make way in the national team for the many young and exciting players. One has to know when to stop.”
The three-time French player of the year had 81 caps and scored 16 goals. He continued, “I have experienced so much and now is the time for others to come forward. You could see at the World Cup that we should have no concerns about France’s future. There were highs and lows but now is the time to start a new chapter in my life.”
