Scripture Reflection: Who is my Neighbor?

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.

“Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and,

‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

The Good Samaritan is a story we all probably know well. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus uses this story to teach us that it is our duty to look after the welfare of all those we encounter, regardless
of social status, ethnicity, or religion. We are called to care for the stranger. This is a message that we understand and strive to live out daily. But isn’t it interesting that this man, an expert in religious law, even asks Jesus this seemingly obvious question -

“Who is my neighbor?”

Our faith, and our community living experiences in particular, train us to look beyond borders and see all people as our neighbors. We understand that our well-being is hinged on their well-being. “Who is my neighbor” is probably not a question we often ask ourselves because we have learned to think globally. However, lately I’ve
noticed that I really can relate to the man who asks Jesus this question. I know the correct answer to the question, but I don’t actually know who my neighbors are.

A few weeks ago I was having a discussion about life in Washington, D.C. Around here, most conversations between new acquaintances start off with the question “Where are you from?”
After chatting about growing up in the Mid West, I made the statement that is often heard around this city – “No one is really from D.C.” Many of the young adults working for non-profits or politicians on Capitol Hill are new to the city, and only stick around for a few years. Now that I’ve lived here for more than six years, I often feel like a veteran.

A couple days later I found myself walking through my own neighborhood, trailing a few strides behind an elderly man that I didn’t recognize. The man warmly greeted by name the five or six people who walked past him during that two block stretch. Clearly, he was not new in town. More likely, he was right at home and it
was me who was the stranger. The earlier conversation popped back into my head, and I was immediately ashamed of my statement “no one is from D.C.” I live amongst people who have called this place their home for their entire lives – far longer than my six years here. How did I not
notice this before? Whenever I was asked about my neighborhood, I would talk about the socioeconomic status of the people I lived near. I would say that the majority of my neighbors seem to be working class African Americans, living right around the poverty line. I would give this generic answer, unable to articulate any
personal stories, because I knew none to share.
This experience made me aware that the community I had created for myself was limited and restricted. I had constructed a false
reality – one that was comprised of people just like me. It’s not that I had been a bad neighbor - I was considerate, I listened to music at a reasonable volume, I didn't litter, I smiled when I passed people on the street, but I hadn't entered into the lives of the people living right next to me. I didn’t know who my neighbors are, and therefore I didn’t know how I could best serve them. Like the priest and the Levite, I was walking past people every day without really seeing them. What was I doing to cause this disconnection? Well, I partly blame my iPhone. Since I don’t have a car, I get everywhere I need to go either by walking or taking public transportation. Normally, this would be an opportunity to build community, but I was choosing to use that time to catch up on my favorite radio programs, listen to Pandora, and make phone calls to friends and family. I rarely left home without my earbuds in, and as a result, I walked in a bubble of disconnection. There was no way I could build real relationships while isolating myself in that way.

I’m challenged by Jesus’ teachings about the Good Samaritan. He asks us to be a people who not only know the right answers, but live them out as well. We are called to be people who see those who are suffering as their neighbors, and have the courage to cross the street to help them. If I seek to serve my neighbors, I first need to learn to see them. From now on I’m going to put away my iPhone, walk a little slower, and hopefully this will be the first step in becoming a more loving neighbor to those who live right next door.

THE TRUE MEASURE OF WEALTH

Rev. Fr. Boniface Nkem Anusiem PhD

How do we measure true wealth? Could it be by the number of investments one is able to make or by the number of digits in one’s local and foreign accounts? Could it be in terms of the number of structures or vehicles one is able to gather and keep? Can we measure wealth in terms of the number of friends and acquaintances one has acquired? Can we measure wealth in terms of the quantity of food we have in our houses (cooked and uncooked)? If all these are indicative of true wealth, then the poor are indeed cursed here and hereafter! Beyond all these join me as we search for the true measure of wealth.
In the gospel reading today (Mark 10:17-30) we have an interesting encounter between our Lord Jesus Christ and a man who was referred to as a rich man. (Luke 18:18 would add RULER to that designation). From the Gospel Reading we are told that the man ran up to Jesus while he was setting out on a journey, knelt before him and put this question before him: “Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
After instructing the man not to refer to him (Jesus) as good, our Lord reminded him that he should keep the known commandments and the man agreed that he was doing so since his earliest years. Then Jesus looked at him and LOVED him and then said to him: “there is one thing you lack. Go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” Upon hearing this, the man’s face felled and he went away sad because he was a man of GREAT WEALTH. He believed that his wealth was his security and he didn’t want to part with it.
There is need for us to examine this encounter very closely. We are told that the rich man in question ran to Jesus. This is a typical indication of the urgency in the man’s desire to meet up with Jesus while he was setting out on a journey. This is a lesson for us too. We need to approach God and with a committed urgency. Our Lord could stop his journey to give attention to this man who came kneeling before him in humility not minding the fact that he was a man of great wealth. We are told that those who search for the Lord will find him; especially those who do so in humility (Deut.4:29). The Lord will always attend to us when we run up to him not minding other preoccupations.
Coming to Jesus the rich man started by calling him good master. At this, Jesus directed his attention to God who alone is good. What Jesus did was to make the man understand that the inquiry he was making was not from the usual masters of their time, but from God who is infinitely good. He wanted to let the man to know that only God is capable of giving the good answer to his good question not man.
The man’s question was what he could do to inherit eternal life. The man knew that there is life after this earthly life which is eternal. He had inherited material wealth and material life in this world but he was still desirous of inheriting eternal life. That was a very positive and commendable desire. Jesus pointed out the conventional commandments and the man asserted that he had kept all of them. And our Lord looked at him and loved him. It is interesting that Jesus loved him. He loved his heart not his face, he loved the worth of his soul and not the weight of his wealth; he loved his earnest desire to inherit eternal life. With that same look our Lord discovered that the man was lacking something in his life. He had done all things well except one thing; charity to the poor. Jesus told him to sell everything he had and give the money to the poor and thus gain eternal treasure in heaven and then follow him.
Going back to the man, his face felled at the words of our Lord that he should sell everything and follow him. This confirms the fact that the man had a deep seated attachment to his wealth. In fact, from his reaction, he could not do without those material possessions. Though he was a good man in observing the laws, he was bad in terms of the practice of charity. His treasure was on his wealth and that was where his mind was. The man had faith but no good work to show (Jas.2:17). He received so much but refused to give anything.
The rich man not only walked away from Jesus Christ, he walked away from performing charity, he walked away from the vocation to be a disciple and he finally walked away from eternal life. When the man had gone Jesus told his disciples that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle (a small city gate which a camel can enter by kneeling and without load) than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. The disciples were amazed at what Jesus Christ said because the conventional assumption at the time was that wealth is a blessing from God indicating righteousness (See Psalm 37:25).
Seeing how surprised they were and their question: “who can be saved?” He told them that with God all things are possible but not with men. This fact is very true because with God a carpenter can become a captain, with God a bus conductor can become a contractor, with God a driver can become a director, with God a maid can become a madam, with God a beggar man can become suddenly bigger man (Sirach 11:21). Peter came up to inquire about what would be the fate of those who left everything and followed him and he was assured by the Lord that the reward will be full that is hundred fold.
We resemble the rich man in many ways. In fact his name was not given so that we can insert our names. Sometimes we feel that we have done everything well and that we are qualified to go to heaven. Sometimes we assume that being a member of this or that religion, church, denomination or group would qualify to adopt eternal life for us hereafter. Often we pick and choose the commandments that we feel that are more important to our lives not knowing that they are all equally important and needful in our lives.
Oftentimes we are so comfortable with our material possessions that we walk away from the face of the Lord. We are often overwhelmed by our material wealth that we neither hear nor see the Lord calling us to follow him. We are often blinded by material wealth that we do not see the poor and needy around us. It takes divine direction to see, appreciate and give a hand to the poor.
A story was told about a priest who brought food for a family known to be so dejected and poor in his parish. After receiving the food from the priest, the mother of the family divided the food into two equal parts and walked away from the house with one portion! The priest was wondering where she went and instantly she came back. When the priest inquired to know where she went with one portion of the food, the woman responded: “there is a family living down the street and I thought we could share the food with them because they are as well starving like us!” The priest could not utter a word as he was overwhelmed by such act of selflessness in the midst of poverty. Nobody is too poor that he or she cannot give. You are better than someone (be kind enough to give). Someone could also be better than you (be humble).
Around the world, about 850 million people go to bed hungry. This actually happens every day yet many of us throw food away into the trash every hour. The wealth in the world generally can make each and every one of us comfortable and happy. The problem is that those who are custodians of such wealth are not ready to share.
Currently, in many countries in North Africa, many people are moving away from their homelands and attempting to migrate to other places due to difficulties of war, restiveness and hunger. In the face of such dehumanizing conditions, most wealthy nations close their boarders in order to prevent their homeless and helpless neighbours from coming into their territories. This is nothing different from the action of the rich man who was unaffected by the situation of the helpless and poor.
How often do many rich people ignore the cry and plight of the poor among us and focus on their personal interests and comforts. It takes the wisdom, Knowledge and understanding that comes from God (as the first reading showed) for us to see, appreciate and assist the poor and thus be acceptable to God (Matt. 25:31ff).
From our reflection so far, we can establish and rightly too that the true measure of wealth lies in our ability to use what God has given to us to add value to the lives of others. The true measure of wealth lies in our charity to others, it lies in our selflessness, the true measure of wealth lies in our love for others. St. Paul did say that we should owe nobody anything but love (Romans 13:8). We basically own nothing; everything belongs to God. At death we lose everything apart from our souls which is the real us that survives to either eternal bliss or to eternal damnation.
May the word of God which is alive and active direct the course of our lives to be able to appreciate and assist the poor among us. The really rich person is one who is wise enough to be God’s hands towards the poor. Today we are called to rewrite the story of the rich man by giving. God actually wants us to give all by giving ourselves to him. That is why we sing: “My life time I will give God my life time. If I give God my life time, he will take care of me…he will never never let me down… I will give God my life time!
Happy Sunday and do have a wonderful week ahead.

The court decision signed by the honourable judge, O.A. Obaseki- Osaghae, however directed that all parties to “maintain the peace and take no action that will lead to a breakdown of law and order”. The case was adjourned to Oct. 19 for hearing of the two pending motions. (NAN)

Chibok girls alive; Many impregnated, carrying VVF, other diseases – Escapee Chibok girl reveals

There were indications weekend that many of the 200 girls of the Government Secondary School, Chibok abducted in April 2014, are alive and holed up in the Lake Chad region of the North-East epicentre of the battle to dislodge Boko Haram terrorists from Nigeria.
Sources disclosed to Saturday Vanguard that the girls who were relocated from the initial Sambisa Camps of the terrorists, following unrelenting bombardments by air and land operations, have been relocated to Lake Chad area with some of the girls spread along border
communities.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that about two weeks ago, one of the abducted girls who was formerly kept in a Sambisa forest camp, escaped from the hands of the abductors and ran into the hands of some Fulani herdsmen. It was the Fulani herdsmen having confirmed

that the girl was a Chibok girl, who assisted her to get to the Baga military base of the multi-national Joint Task Force.

At the Baga base, the escapee girl was said to have confessed that many of them were forcefully married to the terrorists who not only impregnated them but infected some of them with different diseases. On her part, she was not only impregnated, but she got the VVF disease from one of the terrorists.

According to the escapee, at the camp where she escaped from there were about 60 of the girls while others were shared and moved to border communities. Narrating more tales of woes on what the Chibok girls went through and are still going through in the hands of the terrorists, the source said though the Chibok girl
had just put to bed, the VVF (Vesicant Virginal Fistula) disease with which she was infected by the terrorist had made her uncomfortable hence her decision to flee to seek for medical help, as she was repeatedly passing solid waste uncontrollably.

Continuing, the source said, “When the Fulani herdsman saw the girl in the bush and questioned her about her mission, she narrated her experience, which made the herdsman to take her to the soldiers in that area. With her escape, there are now 59 of the girls left in her
camp.” Emphasizing that almost all of the girls have been married out to the Boko Harram terrorists while quite a number of them have delivered babies, the escapee told security agencies that the girls were always moved from place to place in the Sambisa forest during the
bombardments but that when the heat was too much, they were all moved out of the forest.

The escapee further disclosed to security agencies that Boko Haram terrorists have been seriously weakened and are now moving from place to place aimlessly like lost sheep, planting mines and IEDs (improvised explosive devices) which some security forces have mistakenly fallen prey to.

“All of us were forced to become Muslims but kept in camps far from each other”, she revealed. “You can only see and recognize those in your camp as any of us who refused being Islamized was either beheaded or shot at point blank range.” She revealed further that the camps where the Chibok girls are now kept are in Kangoora, Mallam Fatori, Damasak, Tunbun Kaka and Tumbum Gira. Many of these towns are located in the border communities around Lake Chad with some in Nigeria and others in Chad.

Agency arrests Brazil-bound passenger for concealing $34,000 in boxer shorts

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a passenger for attempting to smuggle out 23 wraps containing 34,000 dollars to Brazi l.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Mitchell Ofoyeju , Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, on Friday in Lagos. The statement said the passenger, Ozoh Ikenna , was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, during screening of passengers on Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi. It said the money was packed in wraps and concealed in Ikenna's boxer shorts.

According to the statement, the NDLEA airport
commander, Mr Ahmadu Garba , said that the arrest was facilitated with the aid of a scanning machine. “The wraps of dollars found on Ikenna were detected with the aid of scanning machine.
"We also conducted a follow-upoperation where one Ogbo Emmanuel who gave Ozoh the 34,000 dollars was arrested,” the commander is quoted as saying.

The statement said investigation activities conducted by the NDLEA's Assets and Financial Investigation Directorate revealed that the suspects were involved in the laundering of substantial amount of illicit drug proceeds.

"We were able to trace over N226 million to one bank account belonging to the second suspect, Ogbo Emmanuel.

"The account name is Eternal God International Limited," the head of the directorate, Mrs Victoria Egbase,is quoted as saying.

According to the statement, it was also discovered that suspected drug proceeds were regularly deposited in the said bank account by members of an international drug cell that smuggles cocaine from South America to West
Africa. The statement quoted NDLEA's Chairman, Mr Ahmadu Giade as saying that the Agency is strategically targeting criminal wealth.

“Asset forfeiture is one of the effective ways of
responding to organised crime threats; we are working assiduously to trace and confiscate criminal wealth of drug syndicates. Strategic efforts are on-going to prevent the entry of
drug proceeds into legitimate economy and criminal financing,” Giade said in the statement.

The NDLEA boss assured members of the public that in view of the overwhelming evidence linking the money to narcotics, the agency would diligently prosecute the suspects.

23 killed, 295 houses destroyed in Kadunung attack - Council Secretary

Twenty three persons were killed and 295 houses destroyed during the Sept. 15 invasion of Kadunung village in Mangu local Government Area of Plateau by gunmen.

Mr John Tamba , the Secretary of Mangu Local Government Council, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Mangu. Tamba said 852 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Kadunang were being camped in three camps in Mangu. He said 353 of them were children under five years and 36 pregnant women, and that the 852 IDPs were camped at Boto, Bwalbwang and Doss camps, all in Gindiri District of Mangu.

He said the committee that was set up by the council to assess the damage caused by the invasion also discovered that five vehicles and
10 motorcycles were burnt during the attack.

According to the secretary, the attack has put the council in " a precarious situation because we do not know how to cater for the IDPs ’’.
" The council embarked on this assessment to know the level of damage done to Kadunung people and how the Federal, state and local governments could assist the victims.

" We are appealing to the victims to remain calm as government is doing all it can to alleviate their suffering as well as rehabilitate them , ’’ he said.
Tamba said at the initially stage of the crisis, the council provided relief materials worth over N2 million to the victims. He said that the council in conjunction with SEMA and NEMA were gathering relief materials to present to the victims toward rehabilitating them.

" We will ensure that every household benefits from any assistance that may come, no matter how small, " he said. He called on the people to remain calm and be vigilant against any form of attack.

Disease's persistence in survivors fuels concerns over future risks

A growing awareness of how the Ebola virus can hide in parts of the body such as eyes, breasts and testicles long after leaving the bloodstream raises questions about whether the disease can ever be beaten.

Virologists said Friday's case of a Scottish nurse, Pauline Cafferkey , who had recovered from Ebola but is now suffering complications adds to signs that the virus is a long-term health risk and can lead to a "post-Ebola syndrome".

" Over the past few years there has been mounting evidence of mental and physical health problems in Ebola survivors that can last for years after the virus is cleared from the bloodstream ," said Ben Neuman, an Ebola expert and lecturer in virology at Britain's University of Reading.

" The newly discovered twist on this post-Ebola syndrome is that in some cases the health problems - often including damage to the eyes and joints - are caused by live Ebola virus growing in fluids in some of the less accessible compartments of the body. " Ebola, one of the deadliest viruses known in humans, infected 28,000 people and killed more than 11,300 of
them in an unprecedented outbreak in West Africa which was declared in March 2014 and is only now coming under control.

Partly because of the vast numbers involved in the epidemic, which centred on Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, infectious disease experts say we are learning more every day about Ebola from cases such as Cafferkey's and thousands more survivors.

Ebola experts said in August that around half of Ebola survivors in West Africa were already reporting suffering from chronic problems, including serious joint pain and eye inflammation that can lead to blindness.

LARGE VIRUS RESERVOIR?
" Due to the sheer scale of this outbreak compared to previous ones we are going to see aspects of Ebola virus infection that we have not observed before, " said Julian Hiscox, a professor of infection and global health at
Britain's Liverpool University. He was concerned that Ebola's persistence in survivors, who have no obvious symptoms of Ebola infection and so
are often living and working normally and not kept in isolation as a symptomatic patient would be, means they are " a potential reservoir of the virus".

" It's why men who have had Ebola and
recovered are advised to abstain or wear condoms," he noted. The World Health Organization 's advice is that all male
survivors should be tested three months after the onset of symptoms and then monthly until they know they have no risk of passing on the virus through their semen.

John Edmunds , an expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said that while the risk of transmission from survivors harbouring the virus in their eye fluids and other organs "appears to be very low", it still warrants attention. " With so many survivors in West Africa now, there is a risk that further outbreaks can be triggered, which is why authorities have to remain very vigilant ," he said.

Cafferkey, a 39-year-old nurse, was back in hospital in London on Friday with doctors saying she would be treated in isolation as a precautionary measure.The hospital said in statement it had "i dentified a small number of close contacts ... that we will be following up
as a precaution ", but added: " The risk to the general public remains low. "

Cafferkey was the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola on British soil and was originally discharged in January after seemingly making a full recovery.Neuman said the likelihood of survivors spreading Ebola depends on how much of the virus is present in the blood. In Cafferkey's case, he said, " if her body was able to control the virus once, the chances are she can do it
twice. "

The Cause Of Your Bad Breath And How To Get Rid Of It

Imagine standing close up to someone with bad breath and you find it difficult to inhale air around them because it smells like a pit that is about to be excavated. Halitosis or Bad breath is a major embarrassing factor that has plagued a lot of people. People that suffer from halitosis usually find it difficult to complain about the stink and are stuck wondering what they should do about it. Common relief that have been employed include sucking on minted sweets or chewing gum which only offer temporary solution to the problem. And brushing teeth regularly? That’s quite important but they aren’t as effective as permanent solution to bad breath according to a scientific review by researchers in Brazil.

It is essential that a holistic approach is adopted to quell bad breath.

You might want to ask what causes bad breath?
The main cause are volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) which come out as fumes that should be emitted from the anus as farts rather than from the mouth. Researchers believe that the sulphur compounds substrates are the major cause of halitosis. Volatile sulphur compounds usually come up as a result of the continuous interaction between bacteria in your mouth and infections or disease conditions present in the mouth. These interactive conditions usually occur in the crevices and corners present in your teeth.

However, a research study published in the journal of Clinical Periodontology found out that the tongue might be the main problem. The study found out that the large surface area of the tongue which is made up of a lot of cracks and grooves helps it to harbour a lot of micro-
organisms that creates the volatile sulphur compounds.
   As a matter of fact, different research studies conducted in Asia found out that “coating the tongue” produced a high amount of volatile sulphur compounds in people’s mouths.

This perhaps lay credence to the smelly breath most people have when they wake up in the morning as the compounds build up over night.
You might want to ask what actually helps to stop bad breath? Try the steps below:

-Clean your tongue

Cleaning your tongue while you brush your teeth helps to remove and provide an uncomfortable area for the bacteria that create volatile sulphur compounds which in turn reduces the odour that comes out from your mouth. This can be achieved by brushing or scraping your tongue from back to front with a soft brush or plastic/wooden tongue scraper. A wooden or plastic tongue scraper is a much better option as it it has a larger surface area which allows it to remove a larger amount of bacteria from your mouth than a brush that would remove small bits into different parts of your mouth. A review published in the British Medical Journal found out that people who use a tongue scraper reduce volatile sulphur compounds by 42 percent as opposed to 33 percent in those who brush their tongue.

-Brush and floss twice a day

Of course brushing your teeth twice a day will remove micro-organisms and tiny food particles which may cause volatile sulphur compounds. People that floss and have tried sniffing it would testify to the offensive odour that comes with it. That odour is due to unhealthy bacteria. Moreover, inflammation of the gums can lead to bad breath and as such, regular dental check ups are required. Keep your mouth well-hydrated A “dehydrated mouth” will dead cells on your tongue, gums, and cheeks build up. Not having enough saliva to wash these cells away will encourage bacteria multiplication as they would feed on the dead cells to produce sulphur
molecules which will cause bad breath. Dry mouth can be moistened with mouth wash and rinsers. If these are not readily accessible, simply rinse your mouth with water. This action is enough to remove some of the bacteria that causes the production of the volatile compounds.
