Woman Preserve Her Dead Son's Dead Body For 18Years So Her Grandson Can Recognize His Father (See Photo+Video)

A mother decided not to bury her son, but rather preserve the body in her home so her grandson can see his father.

Joni Bakaradze died 18 years ago when he was just 22-years-old. He was already married and had a son, who was almost 2-years-old.

Instead of burying him the traditional way, the family decided to build a “grave” in their house where they keep their son in a casket, which can be easily opened at any time.


His mother, Tsiuri Kvaratskhelia of Zugdidi Municipality, in Georgia,
has taken her motherly love to the extreme as she lovingly takes care of her mummified son’s body for the past 18 years.

Everyday for the past 18 years, the mother has been lovingly caring for her son’s body in an attempt to preserve it.
The family celebrates his birthdays. For many years, on the day of his birthday, Kvaratskhelia changes her son’s clothes.

At first, his mother used traditional embalming techniques, but after awhile she began to use her own methods.
The mother is treating Bakaradze’s body with rubbing alcohol. She uses wet sheets soaked in alcohol to preserve the body.

"I cannot leave the body without sheets during the night or the skin turns black,” the mother said.
"He was a good man and a good husband," the mother said of her son.

In explaining why she has not buried Bakaradze’s body, the mother said that she wanted her grandson to be able to love his father.
Bakaradze’s son is now almost 20-years-old. According to Kvaratskhelia, he is not afraid to see his father’s body, and he is happy with his grandparents’ decision to preserve the body.

It’s wrong to make stowaway boy hero – NAAPE

National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, NAAPE, has criticised the award of scholarship to stowaway teenager, Daniel Oikhena, by the Governor Rauf Aregbesola Foundation.

The association contended , yesterday, that it was wrong to make hero out of the boy.

It will be recalled that on Saturday, August 24, 2013, the teenager successfully breached the security of the Benin Airport, operated by Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, and managed to stowaway at the wheel well of an Arik aircraft on a flight from Benin to Lagos.

The boy was apprehended when he came out of the wheel well on landing in Lagos.

According to Bunmi Gindeh, Public Relations Officer, NAAPE, the association “seriously frowns at the effort by some people to make a hero out of the stowaway boy by publicly giving reward to a boy that at best fell far short of acceptable behaviour.

“While NAAPE does not want to stand in the way of anyone’s fortune, we consider that in this particular case, making such gesture public gives an erroneous impression which makes it a dis-service.

“We fear that such public gesture, even in the name of charity, will only encourage other kids, and even adults, to embark on similar misadventure.”

The association said it was also concerned that both FAAN and Arik had been publicly trading blames over the incident, when the two corporate bodies were both aware of their responsibilities to assist in the process of identification and rectification of the problem, and in a civilised manner.

A 30-year-old man, identified simply as Ogamba, was on Monday charged before an Ojo Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, for allegedly stealing seven fairly-used refrigerators valued at N171,000.

“He did not remit any proceeds of the sale, or give any explanation as to the whereabouts of the goods, despite repeated demands,” the prosecutor said.

Eze said that on several occasions when the complainant visited the residence of the accused, he was told by Ogamba’s wife that her husband had been in the “desert” for prayers.

The prosecutor said that when it became clear that the accused had something “fishy”, the complainant reported the matter to the police.

Eze said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Magistrate, Mrs Adenike Shonubi, granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Police trail bank manager over N100m fraud

Operatives of the Inspector-General of Police monitoring team at Kam Salem, Obalende, Lagos, have launched a man-hunt for manager of the Ladipo branch of one of the first generation banks over an alleged N100million fraud.

However, the bank manager’s lover in whose account the fleeing suspect was alleged to have lodged some of the stolen amount had been arrested.

She was, however, released four days later when the bank’s manager refused to show up.

Preliminary investigation, according to Police sources, showed that the fleeing bank manager allegedly withdrew N35 million from customers’ accounts in Ladipo Branch alone.

Police sources stated that when the illicit deed was discovered last week by the bank, the manager escaped before the arrival of the Police.

ASUU Denied Any Political Undertone In The Ongoing Strike

THE striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has denied any political undertone in their asking for full implementation of the four-year old agreement reached with the Federal Government.

ASUU insisted that the Federal Government, rather than the union, is politicising the issue through propaganda.
Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State had, while hosting the National Union of Benue State Students, alleged that the ASUU strike was becoming a political action other than agitation for the welfare of university lecturers.
In a swift reaction, Chairman of ASUU, the University of Ibadan (UI), Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, asked Suswam to guard his utterances and limit them to the mandate given him by the Federal Government.
Meanwhile, the member representing Akoko-Edo Federal Constituency and former president of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers ((NUPENG), Peter Appatasson, yesterday faulted the Federal Government’s stance on the lingering ASUU strike, stating that it was wrong for government to renege on an agreement it reached with lecturers few years back.
Speaking to journalists shortly after the Uneme National Development Association (UNDA) released plans to launch a N100 million education fund for the communities scattered in Akoko-Edo, Etsako Central, Etsako East and Esan South East local councils of Edo State, the lawmaker, however, appealed to both parties to return to the negotiation table.
Nevertheless, he disagreed with the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that the country could sink financially if all ASUU’s demands were met.
Carpeting Nigerian leaders for hypocrisy, Ajiboye asked them to demonstrate their love for the country by withdrawing their children from private universities both within and outside Nigeria and stop health tourism by using the health facilities they provide for Nigerians.
He insisted that the union would not resume work until the government fully implements the agreement reached with the union.
Meanwhile, President of UNDA, Dayo Alabi, said the education fund being launched would be in aid of indigent but intellectually sound and gifted Uneme people in all the communities in the state.
