 Nigerian makes US Most Wanted List over $1m fraud A Nigerian, Onoriode Ezewu, has been named on the United States Department of Labour’s first-ever Most Wanted List over allegations of money laundering involving fraudulent unemployment benefit claims worth more than $1m. The department’s Office of Inspector General unveiled the list on its website on Wednesday, naming 16 fugitives wanted in cases involving alleged fraud, identity theft, money laundering, labour trafficking and other offences. According to the agency, the cases collectively involve more than $55m allegedly stolen from American taxpayers.

A 19-YEAR-OLD TEXAS MAN SURVIVED A LIGHTNING STRIKE WHILE FISHING WITH HIS MOTHER THE DAY BEFORE MOTHERS DAY.(PHOTO).


 A 19-year-old Texas man survived a lightning strike while fishing with his mother the day before Mothers Day.


Hunter Wyche proclaimed himself the "unluckiest lucky man" after he was struck by lightning on Saturday, May 10th.


Hunter had taken his mother fishing along the Angelina River and was expecting a relaxing day catching up with his mom and maybe catching a few fish.


However, while Hunter leaned against a tree, lightning struck, throwing him several feet and leaving him unconscious and wounded.


Hunter blacked out during the ordeal and awoke to his mother and a crowd of people around him. As Hunter regained consciousness, he couldn't move his right foot and could barely move his leg. He believes the strike went through his stomach down his right leg and back out through the top of his foot. 


The strike also caused wood to explode everywhere, leaving him with wood shrapnel embedded in his skin and face. According to Hunter, "I've got little thorns and stuff still all in my skin, and they went deep." 


That genuinely sounds miserable. 


Fortunately, several larger pieces of sharp wood shrapnel narrowly missed Hunter. 


Ultimately, Hunter was left with a ruined fishing pole and a once in a lifetime experience as well as new respect for lightning. 


However, he hasn't let the experience get to him. Hunter spent 10 hours in Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston but was back to fishing in the exact spot where he was struck by lightning only 24 hours earlier. You can't keep a good fisherman down. 


This story serves as a reminder how susceptible you are to lighting strikes while fishing during inclement weather. Be safe out there while fishing this summer.
