1. SENATOR Pius Ewherido is dead! He died of stroke on Sunday (yester) evening at the National Hospital, Abuja where he was rushed to after an heart attack on Thursday. May his soul R.I.P. 2. 30 gunmen in the early hours of Sunday stormed the Olokuta Medium Security Prison in Akure, Ondo State capital, and set free about 175 inmates mainly those standing trial for robbery. What a rescue mission! 3. Chairman of South-East Governors’ Forum and Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, said Sunday that he would retire from active politics at the expiration of his second term in February next year. Now here is the catch: the mindset of this soft spoken guy, “I wonder why one person should own houses in Ikoyi, Asokoro, Dubai and he is not using them for anything. People accumulate what they don’t need. It is madness. The level of greed in Nigeria is intolerable.” 4. Barely 72 hours after security personnel stopped Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State from approaching President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, both men embraced publicly yesterday in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State capital. 5. NO fewer than 15 lecturers of Ebonyi State College of Education, Ikwo were weekend, demoted over alleged involvement in certificate forgery and for claiming to have acquired Ph.D degrees from reputable institutions outside the country. 6. Brazil 3: Spain 0 worst Spain defeat in about 3 decades! The same Spain that thrashed our beloved Super Eagles 3: 0! And I commented that our young but promising team can beat them at the 2014 World Cup if they prepare well. At least the Brazillians have proved me right even before 2014 that ‘”Yes, we can.” The purport of these FEW EVENTS IN JUST ONE SUNDAY is to remind us the philosophy of Socrates who before he was hanged in 399 BC kept, wondering why many of his contemporaries kept chasing wealth, etc, without asking themselves if these were the reasons for our birth? Same today, many of us never bothered to ask ourselves why we are here on Earth? Are you born to live to eat or to eat to live? Are you born to squander the wealth of humanity or to contribute to it hence the well being of all? “For the unexamined life is not worth living!”
