Each century and millennium means different stages of development to many nations and empires. Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Ottoman and other empires bequeathed a lot of things to humanity.

In the 21st century, citizens of the Western World and even the Far East, are experimenting with genetically modified food, cloning, aeronautic engineering, gas-propelled vehicles, ethanol fuel, internet, solar energy, robotics, electronics, space travel and how to reverse global warming.

But in Nigeria, some elements are truly living up to the label of abnormality. In the 21st century, some Nigerians still prefer to behave like cave dwellers. That is, they engage in ritual killings believing that they could, that way, acquire wealth, power and fame.

This week, we present some shocking cases of ritual killings, how to beat kidnappers and the dangerous places to avoid. It is anchored by General Editor, ADEMOLA ADEGBAMIGBE

Katrina Gaensler, a German journalist, who, in January came to TheNEWS on an exchange programme, has returned home.

She had always been interested in Nigeria because at the University of Leipzig, Germany where she studied Journalism and African Studies up to Master’s level, her thesis was on “Youths In Nigeria”

We wish her good luck as she returns to her desk at her newspaper, Dithmarschevo Laneszeitug.
