Indian man wins $1m lottery six days after emerging unhurt from a plane that crash landed


A passenger on board the Emirates plane that
crash landed in Dubai has won a million dollars
on the lottery - just six days after the accident.
All 300 people aboard an Emirates airliner
survived a crash landing in Dubai last week,
scrambling down emergency slides before
flames consumed the plane. One firefighter was
killed battling the blaze.
Mohammad Basheer Abdul Khadar, one of the
survivors of the crash, won the jackpot from
Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire.
According to Mohammad, he purchased the
ticket on Eid on his way for a vacation with his
family in Thiruvananthapuram in the south
Indian state of Kerala. He superstitiously bought
a ticket whenever he travelled back to India and
the lucky ticket was his 17th attempt at the
airport lottery.
“I have been working in Dubai for 37
years, and I have always felt like this is
my country. I live a simple life, and now
that it’s my time to retire, I feel like God
gave me a second life when I survived
the plane crash, and blessed me with
this money to follow all this up by doing
good things.” He said.

Describing his escape along with other
passengers from the Emirates plane as a
“miracle”, Khadar said he has only God to thank
for his survival.
"I value the escape as a more precious
gift from God and I knew God saved me
for some specific purpose. Probably this
is it. I am blessed to have finally won
with Dubai Duty Free and can’t wait to
share the news with my family. If you
ask me about my plans, I obviously want
to help the children in Kerala who are
less fortunate than others and need
some financial help and medical support.
I don’t want to give it to a charity or
build a business, I want to go out and
find people who really need help and
give them money. I was poor, and I know
what people go through."

Buhari is a biased president, evidences abound against Fasola, Amaechi, others – Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has rubbished claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of corruption against his appointees. Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of their financial contributions to his election. Calling names of those who have serious allegations, the statement noted that, “These are in the public glare and we are surprised that the president exhibits volte-face on these matters. “For instance, Fashola has many corruption petitions against him during and after his tenure as governor of Lagos State. “Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL and individuals have their petitions unattended to by the authorities,” he said. “The reported outcome of enquiry, which indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers State, is lying unattended to by the authorities and Chris Ngi...
