A Recap of the Top 12 News Stories of 2012
The year 2012 has been a very eventful
year. Various happenings across the country have shaped decisions,
influenced policies and changed the way both Nigerians and foreigners
regard the country.
As we count down the last few hours till
the end of the year, we have compiled a list of 12 major events that
will not be forgotten in a hurry as far as 2012 is concerned. There was
never a dull moment in Nigeria, however, some events stood out and are
worth recounting. Here is a list (in no particular order) of what we
feel are the 12 major news stories of the year 2012.
DANA AIR CRASH |
The DANA plane crash of Sunday 3rd June 2012, ripped the heart of the
nation. All 153 passengers on board and some people on ground died when
a commercial airliner operated by DANA Air heading from Abuja to Lagos
crashed in the Iju area of Lagos. The event brought about a reawakening
of the falling standards in the aviation sector and a ripple of events
followed after the crash. President Goodluck Jonthan declared three days
of mourning; DANA’s operating license was suspended but the suspension
was lifted some months after; the coroner’s inquest was suspended and
more.
Doctors’ Strike in Lagos state |
For several weeks in the course of the year, doctors in Lagos state
under the aegis of Medical Guild went on an indefinite strike, shutting
down health activities in major government health institutions. The
effect of the strike was devastating for residents of the state as the
health of many patients suffered and some lives were lost due to the
lack of affordable health care. During the strike, the doctors and the
Lagos state government were at loggerheads as for several weeks, both
parties refused to succumb to the other’s demands, thereby prolonging
the strike. The doctors demanded for the full implementation of the
Consolidated Medical Salary Structure, CONMESS just as the Lagos state
government said it couldn’t meet the demands. Also 788 doctors were
sacked during that period but were later reinstated to their positions.

Horror- Woman Kidnapped & Raped For 5 Hours By 3 Men On Christmas
Three teenage boys kidnapped woman, 22, on Christmas, robbed her and raped her for five hours even after she vomited on them.
A
young woman’s Christmas—and her life—was shattered Tuesday when she was
kidnapped, raped, robbed and beaten in her own car by three teenagers
over the course of five hours, according to police.
"You’ll get
sick in the stomach," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael
Chitwood, before reciting the facts of the case.
Around 11:40 p.m.
Christmas night, the 22-year-old victim was in her Jeep Cherokee,
waiting for her boyfriend to come out of a nearby bar, when three
men—one of whom had a gun—forced their way inside of her vehicle,
Chitwood said. They made the woman move to the back seat and drove her
around Philadelphia for hours, police said. One by one, the men took
turns in the back seat, forcing the victim to perform sex acts, even
after she repeatedly vomited on them, according to court documents.
5 Ways To Know You’ve Met Your Life Partner
So, how do you know if he’s “the one” or not? That’s something only you can truly tell, but there are a few sure-fire signs that you’ve met your soulmate. Relationship expert, Lori Zaslow, gives her tips on finding success in love.
1. Consistency from the other person.
I think we’re all looking for that–someone who is giving you
consistency and making you a top priority. To me, lasting love is your
“soulmate.” It’s healthy. It’s normal. It’s good. You can’t know right
away! It takes time to know someone’s moods. I don’t want to put my
stamp on something that anyone would think is instant. At Project
Soulmate, when someone is on the fence about a person they just met, we
always encourage a second date. You just never know! That person could
be your soulmate, and you just blew him off because there was no
absolute magic right away.
2. Someone who is genuinely concerned.
He is genuinely concerned about you and asks ‘How was your day? How
are you? How are you feeling?’ Everything is not one-sided. The person
can sense your needs and wants more. You might not need to use words. Of
course, in life we do need to use words to articulate, but he might
have a stronger vibe if he’s your soulmate. It’s as if he said, “I knew you were feeling that today.”
