At least 16 people were killed and dozens more injured after lightning struck a Seventh-Day Adventist church in Rwanda, a local official said Sunday.

Fourteen victims were killed on the spot as lightning hit the church in the Nyaruguru District in the Southern Province on Saturday, local mayor Habitegeko Francois told AFP over the phone.

Two others died later from their injuries, he said.

He added that 140 people involved in the incident had been rushed to hospital and district health centres, but many had already been discharged.

“Doctors say that only three of them are in critical condition but they are getting better,” he said.

According to the mayor, a similar accident took place on Friday when lightning struck a group of 18 students, killing one of them. theeastafricanchurch

“I know that young ladies will never agree with me, but whoever will implement this shall be the happiest of all and shall make a nice home; unless otherwise.” ITEMS The husband is always right The husband is always the master of the family even if he has no job and NO MONEY The wife must ask for permission from the husband before going to bed if the husband isn’t yet in bed, as well as before turning her face away from him on the bed. The husband is still the master and has full control on all the operations even in bed If there is a quarrel with the husband and then a visitor comes, the wife should smile as if nothing happened Anytime the wife thinks she is right in a matter, she should refer herself to Article number 1 A good wife must go to bed in her nightdress with no panties or bra, (except during your monthly flow, which he must know about) to allow the husband access to her at any time he feels like (NOTE: All women should note that this is a man’s greatest desire in ...

Legal representative of four of the accused in the killing of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama says he has yet not watched the social media videos of the lynching. “That is intentional because I don’t want to disabuse my mind,” he said. George Bernard Shaw says even the video may have been doctored – against his clients – under the circumstances while circulating on social media as a result of public anger against his clients. He was speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on Saturday. Lawyer Bernard Shaw said even before the trial proper begins, he has had to face opprobrium from a large section of the public including the police officers guarding the suspects.

SIXTEEN UNWRITTEN RULES YOU MUST KNOW AND OBSERVE AT ALL TIMES

-
Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your calls that means they have something more important to attend to, or they are not near their phones at that time. 2.When your colleague/ classmate/teammate or neighbour gets shouted at, please don’t stare at them. It makes the moment twice awkward. 3.When someone drops something on the floor by mistake, drops food from the plate or doesn’t know how to use a knife/fork don’t stare at them. The same goes to people sneezing, coughing or even letting out an uncontrollable fart. They are all involuntary actions. Always skip using the washroom beside the occupied one. It makes it uneasy for the person in the occupied washroom as well as yourself, if you occupy the one right next to theirs. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers that he lent it to you, be it big or small. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with borrowed umbrellas, pens, lunch boxes or any...
