 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 Unity Torch Lights Up Nasarawa, Benue Ahead of National Sports Festival 2024


The excitement surrounding the 22nd National Sports Festival Gateway Games 2024 continues to build as the Torch of Unity made a historic stop in Nasarawa and Benue States on Wednesday. A delegation from the National Sports Commission (NSC) delivered the torch to Nasarawa State Governor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, at the Government House in Lafia. In his address, Governor Sule praised the NSC for promoting national unity through sports and reaffirmed his state’s commitment to participating fully in the upcoming festival.


From Nasarawa, the torch made its way across the River Benue into the "Food Basket of the Nation", where it was warmly received by Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, represented by Deputy Governor Sam Ode. Ode described the torch’s arrival as a symbol of national cohesion and a source of inspiration for sports enthusiasts across the country. “This Torch of Unity represents our shared aspirations and collective identity. It is a great honor to receive it on behalf of Governor Alia and the people of Benue State,” he stated.


The deputy governor also called on investors to support the state’s sports development initiatives, emphasizing that sports should be seen as a growing industry rather than just a recreational activity. “We are expanding into other sporting disciplines like volleyball, handball, and table tennis to nurture new talents who will proudly represent Benue State,” he added.


Ikana Mbora, who led the NSC delegation, explained that the Torch of Unity serves as both an invitation for states to actively engage in the festival and a reminder of the nation’s anticipation for the grand event. With each stop, the torch continues to ignite enthusiasm for the Gateway Games 2024, which aims to bring Nigerians together through athletic excellence and camaraderie. The torch will now proceed to other states ahead of the festival.


The National Sports Festival is set to take place in Abeokuta, Ogun State, from May 16 to 30, 2025.
