Benue State Places Embargo On Rat Delicacy Due To Lassa Fever Inbox x

The Benue state government has directed people in the state to desist from eating rats for the meantime in order to curtail the spread of Lassa fever seeing that rats are the major carrier.




The State Governor Samuel Ortom gave the directive at Aso Villa shortly after meeting with Vice President Osinbajo.


Ortom explained that the step becomes necessary even as the delicacy is popular among the people of the state though Benue has only recorded one case of the virus but they have to take necessary measures.


Rat stew,rat porridge,rat pepper soup.et al have been banned..make una take note oh.

  18. A couple had been married for several years without a child. For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy, named it Hatchi and loved her like a child.

    The dog had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions saved d couples from robbery. Hatchi was always faithful, loyal and defended its owners against any danger.

    Seven years later, the couple was blessed to have the long awaited son. They were very happy with their new son and decreased the attention they had been giving the dog. Hatchi felt neglected and began to get jealous of the baby.

    One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his cradle and went to the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they were heading to the nursery and saw Hatchi in the hallway with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail.

    The dog's owner thought the worst, pulled out a weapon and immediately killed the dog. Rushed to the baby's room and found a beheaded snake close to the baby. The owner begins to mourn and exclaims I killed my faithful dog!

    How often have we misjudged people without finding out facts.

    The next time we are tempted to judge and condemn anyone remember the
    story of a faithful dog Hatchi.
