Friends and family are reporting that packs of coyotes are attacking people near the three First Nations by London, Ont., – Oneida Nation of the Thames, Chippewa of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware.
A social media post warns that a woman was attacked by a pack of coyotes over the weekend and she is currently in hospital after undergoing surgery from the early-morning attack.
The post notes that wild dogs could also be the culprit behind the attack but warns, “they are I’m packs attacking people.”
A number of men were called upon to hunt down the coyotes/wild dogs around the three First Nations while warning to keep children and family inside.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources says coyotes are normally wary of humans and are more visible in late winter while looking for food. Conflicts between people and coyotes also occur more frequently from May to July while coyotes are caring for their newborn pups, according to the MNR.
The MNR recommends avoiding feeding coyotes as this causes them to become more comfortable around humans.
Other tips include:
-keeping pet food indoors to avoid inviting hungry coyotes onto your property
-remove fallen fruit and vegetables from the ground
-limit the amount of bird feeders around your property
-keep waste cans stored away from where animals can easily access them until garbage day
-use motion sensor lights
-if you use a fence, install it at least two meters high and at least 20 cm deep into the soil
-close off potential den areas under your porch or other outbuildings
-prevent your animals/livestock from roaming free at night to avoid conflicts with coyotes. Place them in barns or sheds
-never approach or touch a coyote
-stand tall and wave your hands and make lots of noise if…

INTRODUCTION
In the last episode of the piece, we posed the question: “Have we always been doomed” “We answered it by highlighting some notable achievements by eminent Nigerians. We then considered the notion of Nigeria as a failed state where insecurity reigns supreme. This is continued in this week’s episode, after which we lament the spectacle of a prostrate government followed by suggested panaceas including practicing true fiscal federalism. Read on.
INSECURITY REIGNS SUPREME (Continues)
Even in Uwheru, Oreba, Ovwor, Onicha-Olona and Abraka in Delta State; to Okpanku, Ozzala, UkpabiNimbo, Ngwoko, Ebor, Umuome, Ugwuijoro and Ugwuachara in Enugu State, the story is the same: gory and hideous blood-letting and festival of blood. The greatest worry of it all is that these killers are not ghosts or apparitions. They are known. They even come out openly, thump their chests, confess and own up to their criminal acts. The Herdsmen umbrella, Miyetti-Allah, claimed the blood-chilling murder of over 200 Plateau citizens was because 300 of its cows were rustled. It boasted that no one could have expected peace without retaliation, under such circumstances. The same group has, over time, infamously given various reasons for its herdsmen’s killings: Nimbo massacre, Enugu State (deadly attack): “we killed because they stole our cows”. Benue State (several progroms): “we killed because of anti-grazing law”. Taraba State (several): “we killed because they blocked our grazing routes”. Adamawa State (many Communities): “we killed because they broke our cow’s leg”. Zamfara State: “we killed because the farmers said we were grazing on their farm lands”. Haba!
A PROSTRATE GOVERNMENT
For over seven years, there were no arrests, no prosecution, no arraignment, no convictions. Rather, some five Christians were arrested in Adamawa, tried and sentenced to death by hanging, for…

Evelyn Varden was a prominent stage, film and television character actress from 1910 through the late-1950s. She is probably best remembered for playing landlady Monica Breedlove in the 1955 cult classic “The Bad Seed” starring Nancy Kelly, Henry Jones and Patty McCormick.
Mae Evelyn Hall was born in June 1893 in Adair, Indian Territory. In 1867, the Delawares, once a powerful tribe, had been given rights within the Cherokee Nation. In March 1903, ten-year-old Delaware tribe member Hall, chose as part of her Cherokee Nation allotment forty acres of land near Bartlesville, soon to be one of the leading oil towns of Indian Territory. At first her tract appeared to be ordinary agricultural land, but subsequent development of the oil industry put it in the heart of a valuable oil field, and worth a large amount of money.
The Cherokee Allotment Act of 1902 provided that contests against selections of land in allotment must be instituted within nine months from the date of an allotment’s original selection of the land. Sometime after the allotment certificate had been issued to Hall, Ida M. Swannock instituted contest proceedings whereby she sought to obtain the land selected by Hall. She claimed that the nine months’ contest period didn’t apply to her.
Dawes Commissioner Tams Bixby ruled in Swannock’s favor and required Hall to return the allotment certificate. In 1907, Hall sued Secretary Garfield of the Interior Department to enjoin him from issuing a patent to the land to Swannock, require Commissioner Bixby to return her allotment certificate, and set aside contest proceedings on the grounds that the Dawes Commission had no jurisdiction whatever on the matter. The results of what was ultimately decided is unclear.
Hall’s acting career began when she was still a baby – in her aunts’ repertoire company, with her father as company…
