The week in a flash 23 - 29 September 2012

Hello all and welcome to the week in a flash, where we try to give you a summary of every thing related to and all that happened in our lovely city during the week.

Our first story is of reports by Sahara  reporters on our dear first lady, Dame Patience  Jonathan, it is being reported that she is battling the early onset of Parkinson disease, which is claimed to be complicating her surgery in Germany. We wish our dear first lady a speedy recovery.

Remember baby Toniloba, a nine month old baby who was kidnapped from RCCG, Central Parish, Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II by a church member earlier in the week. Linda Ikeji reports that he has been found in Benin City, Edo State. He was found with his kidnapper Comfort Amos in Benin after her accomplice was picked up Auchi. They had asked for a Ten million Naira ransom. We join the family of baby Teniola to thank God for his safe return.

Remember  the October 1st bombing that marred the independence day celebrations in 2010, killing ten and leaving many others injured. Most of us remember this day clearly because this was our first  taste of terrorism and its effects in the capital city. The Niger-Delta militant group, Mend, claimed responsibility for the bombings. The alleged plotter of the deadly bombings, Mr Henry Okah would appear in a South African court on the 2nd anniversary of this heinous crime.

The Daily Trust reports that the Abuja-Lokoja which was closed at the beginning of the week has finally been reopened. it was reopened last night at 7:45pm, thanks to the efforts of Gitto, Julius Berger and RCC construction companies. While to thank God foe this, Please remember to pray for people who have been displaced by the floods in states like Kogi, Delta, Benue, Edo and Anambra.

Abj loving, Abuja living

Hey all, welcome to the blog. So today I was up on twitter moaning of how much I miss Abuja, I tweeted that there should be a blog on everything Abuja. Well I got tweets from two lovely friends asking me to start a blog. Well the best person to give you what you want is you and so I decided to take their advice. I am so far away from home and I find my self missing home everyday and I usually go on the net in search of everything Abuja and sometimes I am lucky to find something, most times I am not so lucky. Oh well I have started the blog now oh, so please it is up to you all to give me content for it. Please feel free to send in you contributions, send in any topic you can think of on Abuja, I am always hungry for all things Abuja as I am sure most Abujans in diaspora...  Oh and pictures would be great too.
BTW I think we should get a cool name for ourselves, Abujans sounds too Bleh......
