Jonathan appoints Nnamani, Okiro, to new positions

The Nigeria President, Goodluck Jonathan, on Wednesday, nominated the former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, as the new head of the Police Service Commission. His nomination was announced in a

Boko Haram Planned To Destroy Army Barracks

As condemnations trail Tuesday’s attack on police, army and prison formations in Bama town, Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists which left 55 people dead, the Nigerian Army said, yesterday, that the attack on the 202 Battalion Barracks, with rocket propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns was aimed at overrunning the barracks and creating mayhem.

Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Ibrahim Attahiru, who made the disclosure, however, noted that the attack was successfully repelled.
He gave the actual number of casualty recorded during the attack thus: “those killed in action include 21 Boko Haram terrorists, six Police officers, 14 Prison staff, two soldiers and four civilians, including three children and a woman. They were burnt to death by the insurgents”.
Attahiru added: “there has been heightened insecurity in the North East recently occasioned by unprovoked attacks by Boko Haram terrorists in Baga, Marte, Bama and Banki being the most recent. The Nigerian Army successfully repelled attacks on these locations and the situation has been normalized.
“At about 05:10 hours on May 7, 2013, suspected Boko Haram terrorists dressed in military fatigue (Army uniform) attacked 202 Battalion Barracks in Bama with rocket propelled grenades, general purpose machine guns, bombs, 18 seater buses and six Hilux vehicles fitted with anti-aircraft guns.
“The attack was aimed at overrunning the barracks and creating mayhem. It was, however, successfully repelled and the barracks was not in any way breached. The Bama Police Station, Police barracks, local government secretariat, INEC office, local magistrate court and a primary school were burnt by the Boko Haram terrorists.

Nokia Asha 501 is cheap and colourful but 2G only

Nokia has thrown the curtain open to reveal the latest addition to its bargain-basement Asha line. The Asha 501 boasts a 3-inch touchscreen, comes in a variety of garish hues and will be heading to the UK in the latter half of the year for 75 Euros. It will only use 2G data networks though.
Having 2G only means you won't be able to take advantage of 3G data speeds and the super-fast 4G will be strictly limited to your fevered dreams. Posting a photo to Facebook will require significant amounts of patience. There are other sacrifices you'll have to make for the price, too. The 3-inch touchscreen has a low 320x240-pixel resolution and the phone runs on Nokia's Asha software, rather than Windows Phone 8 you'll find on its more premium Lumia range.
In my hands-on tests though, it felt quite sturdy and the swappable cases make it fun and colourful, allowing you to replace the back when it becomes grubby. The Asha software is far from feature-packed, but it's easy to use and has neat additions like a timeline bar, showing recently used apps and recently called contacts.
The app store is miserably understocked, but does have a few essentials like Facebook, Twitter and Plants vs. Zombies. Keen app addicts among you will still want to look towards Android for a real selection though. Other phone features include a 3-megapixel camera, a microSD card slot and dual SIM card slots in case you want to keep an international SIM on board.
With their basic features and low price, the Asha range is primarily aimed at emerging markets like India and Latin America. Nokia reckons 2G is still dominant in these areas so 3G won't be missed much. It'll really need it on board when it comes to the UK though -- you'll be in for a long wait posting photos to Facebook without it.

Another 20 policemen Killed in Nasarrawa by Boko Haram insurgents

Forty eight hours after more than twenty police men were killed in Bama, Borno State by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nassarawa State disclosed yesterday that another twenty policemen were killed last Tuesday in Nassarawa state by a militia group, known as “Ombatse” at Atakio Village along the Akwanga-Lafia road. Ombatse in Eggon language means “time has come”.
Governor Al Makura who disclosed this when he came to brief the vice president on the security situation in his state said the policemen were murdered while on official duty.

A soldier stands in front of a damaged wall and the body of a prison officer killed during an attack on a prison Bama, on May 7, 2013. 14 prison wardens including a senior officer, two soldiers, 22 policemen, four civilians and 13 Boko Haram gunmen were killed in the attacks in Bama. AFP

He said the policemen were on lawful duty to dislodge the militia group when they were ambushed and killed. The governor said that the group, which had besieged the state, were bent on destabilising the State Government. “This group is causing the commotion and insecurity in order to upstage the government,” he said.
Al-Makura, who told the State House correspondents after briefing the Vice President that the State Government had a year ago dislodged the group. He expressed regrets that the group re-surfaced about a fortnight ago, unleashing mayhem and killing innocent people.
His words: “I am here to meet with the Vice President to brief him about the security situation in my state. Just yesterday, we have a very bitter security problem that has caused the death of some security officers in the state.
“Since January, this thing has not abated and in the past two weeks, it took a total different dimension. This escalated and is causing serious concern for the state. We then decided to hold security meeting to find a way of solving the problem. The solution was to go to the shrine and pick on the cult leader so that the problem will be solved once and for all. But as security operatives were approaching the shrine, unknown to them that ambush had been laid for them, these people attacked them and resulted in the death of more than 20 policemen.
“This is a situation that is so grave and I feel it is very important that I come to brief the Vice President about the security situation and to seek assistance so that we can handle the matter once and for all.
“Already, the group that is from Eggon extraction and called Ombatse has been proscribed since the beginning of this year because of the activities of the members. They go from one place to another, harbouring arms , attacking any area that has any conflict with any of their members. The group is banned and its members are those causing this problem in the state and we feel it is necessary to bring this to the notice of the Federal Government.
“Before now, there were one or two arrests. But as a result of yesterday’s event, I am yet to be briefed on the number of arrests that have been made. Already, I learnt that security operatives are making arrangements to see how they can contain the situation. It is on that point that I will know how many arrests have been made.

Linda Ikeji Apologizes to Nigerian University Students over Incorrect Blogpost

 

Nigeria’s most famous blogger, Linda Ikeji, drew the anger of Covenant University students, Wednesday, after she posted a blog that appeared factually incorrect about their mate.

Linda incurred the rage after she posted a story about the death – suicide – of a Covenant University student, Ndubuisi Brown.

Linda had in a post, said Brown committed suicide. Apparently, Brown drowned in a Lagos beach.

She has since apologized.

“Covenant University Students, I apologize. Your friend died, he didn’t commit suicide. But thanks for making me trend. It’s been a while,” she tweeted.

But her apology was seemingly not enough to calm the incensed students who took to Twitter and trended #Lindalies and #Lindalied on Wednesday. Using those hashtags, the students attributed all manner of outrageous and barefaced lies to the blogger in mock headlines.

“Stephen Keshi has been tipped to become the next manager of Man

U after Ferguson’s retirement,” @Bjorn_LJ said in the tweet-rant that equally got the incensed students excited about their ability to use social media tools to fight a cause.

The post on Linda’s blog has been updated to reflect the drowning version.

“…OK, let me apologize properly. CU students, I’m very sorry. Your friend drowned, he didn’t commit suicide. I was misinformed. Forgive me,” the blogger begged.

Britney Spears Puts Bikini Bodies Everywhere To Shame On The Cover Of Shape Magazine (PHOTO)

Britney Spears' abs are ON ANOTHER LEVEL in Shape magazine.

Wanna know what we use for gym motivation? Oh, just Britney Spears' "I'm A Slave 4 U" video where she's sweating profusely and twerking her rock-hard abs. Wanna know what we're using NOW for going-to-the-gym motivation? Oh, just Britney's new June Shape magazine cover where her "Slave"-caliber abs are on full display. Only this is AFTER squeezing out two kids! It's UNREAL!

Decked in a super-revealing bathing suit that's either a one-piece, bikini, or both (Are you taking notes, Nicki Minaj?), Britney went into detail about her upcoming Vegas residency (YESSSSSSSS!) and workout routine (which we imagine isn't too far off from Justin Bieber's workout routine): "I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio -- hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez. The [Vegas] performances won't be simple -- they'll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."
Wow, well, that routine is paying OFF, bb! Keep up the good work! Also, just know that today you've inspired us to swap our traditional mac & cheese + Ben & Jerry's lunch for some healthy crudités and water.

Covenant University students wage war against Linda Ikeji on twitter #lindalies

Once again, I apologize ” tweet which further sparked up the fire but she tendered a sincere apology afterwards. See her tweet below:

"How I Lost My Virginity" - Porn Stars Reveal Their First Sexual Encounters

Some of the biggest names in the porn industry have admitted that their first sexual encounters were not as raunchy or explicit as their occupations might suggest.

Adult film actress Aurora Snow, 31, rounded up ten of her fellow porn stars to describe to the Daily Beast the day they lost their virginity - with some surprising results.
Recounting her own personal experience, Ms Snow explained: 'I was at a drive-in movie with my high-school sweetheart,' she wrote. 'We did what every parent fears their kids will do at the drive-in: what started as a make-out session turned into something much more explicit.'
Ms Snow - who has been in over 500 adult movies - isn't the only porn star to have a relatively innocent story about her first sexual encounter.
Lizzy Borden, an adult performer and former professional wrestler, confessed that she regretted not waiting longer to lose her virginity.
'I was going to be 18, it was right before my birthday,' she wrote.
Ms Borden, now 35, said she had sex with her then-boyfriend who was also a virgin at the time. 'it was pretty weird,' she said. 'It was not sexual or romantic or fun. It was stressful. I was not comfortable.'
She continued: 'I should've never pushed myself because I wasn't ready and you have to be ready for sex.'

Dangote Secures $4.25 billion Loan To Build Refinery In Nigeria

Africa’s richest man and Nigerian businessman; Aliko Dangote, says he has secured loans worth $4.25 billion from banks to build an oil refinery to help the country reduce fuel imports.
Mr Dangote who was speaking on the side lines at the on-going World Economic Forum on Africa in Cape Town South Africa, said the loan was secured from “two offshore banks and some Nigerian banks.”
Nigeria, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, (OPEC) imports about 70 per cent of the oil products it needs to meet domestic requirements.
The nation’s four refineries process less than the 445,000 barrels a day of capacity owing to aging infrastructure and poor maintenance.
The country exports about four times that volume in crude oil.
Dangote announced in April, plans to invest up to $8 billion to build a Nigerian oil refinery with a capacity of around 400,000 barrels a day by late 2016.

Smartphones with killer screens (roundup)

 

No matter how you slice it, the phone's screen is the part you look at the most, and if that's cheap, cracked, hazy, or blurred, your e-mails, videos, stories, and games will look terrible.

Luckily, resolution is skyrocketing, and premium phones pack in more pixels than ever.
Of course, pixel performance isn't enough; the screen materials must also be top-notch. In addition, individual handsets' peak brightness settings are also in play; phones with a lower brightness setting won't look as good when you're out in bright sunlight.
Take a look at the many factors that go into top-notch screen quality, and enjoy our favorite smartphone screens to look at now, in no particular order.

Nokia Lumia 920 (AT&T), November 1, 2012
Unlike its immediate predecessor, which used an AMOLED display, the Lumia 920 keeps it fresh with a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display. The 1,280x768-pixel resolution (WXGA) and pixel density of 332 pixels per inch come together terrifically at all brightness levels. You'll see deep blacks, rich colors, bright whites, and sharp text.
Nokia calls the Lumia 920's screen "PureMotion+ HD" for a few reasons. First, if you set the screen's sensitivity to high, you can navigate around using a fingernail and even gloves on a cold winter's day. Second, the screen automatically brightens when you go outdoors in bright light. That will improve readability, even if it requires more battery contribution. Lastly, the display delivers smooth videos and graphics free of ghosting, blurring, and lags.

LG Optimus G Pro, May 2, 2013
The Optimus G Pro goes big from the start with a 5.5-inch full-HD IPS screen. It also has a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution, 400ppi, and the 16:9 aspect ratio is more standard and much more comfortable than the 4:3 ratio on the Optimus G Pro's closest relative, the LG Intuition.
Though whites had a slightly cold, blue-grayish tint, on the whole, the screen is bright and extremely responsive. It has a wide viewing angle, and you can see images clearly in both indoor and outdoor lighting. Colors are vibrant, icons are sharp, text looks crisp, and videos were a joy to watch.

HTC One, April 4, 2013
We're not exaggerating when we say that the HTC One is practically all screen. Indeed, the the 4.7-inch display dominates what is already a snazzy-looking device. Continuing the jargon wars, the (1080p) LCD display uses what HTC refers to as SoLux technology. That's supposed to deliver improved picture quality and generate 468ppi. What's more, the One's screen boasts the most impressive viewing experience of any phone that HTC has created.
So are the promises true? Well, in Brian Bennett's review, he reports that the One's display has plenty of impact with vibrant colors, wide viewing angles, and plenty of brightness. Details also looked extremely crisp. That makes for a close battle between the One and Samsung's Galaxy S4, but in the end the One takes the display prize.

Court Jails 8 Beggars

The Special Offences Court in Alausa area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria, has sentenced eight beggars to one month imprisonment for begging on the streets of the state.

The beggars were arrested by officials of the Office of Youth and Social Development, Lagos State at different spots in the Lagos metropolis and charged to court.
Governor Babatunde Fashola had warned that his administration would declare total war on beggars, saying that they either leave the state or be prepared to engage in something that would contribute meaningfully to the state’s revenue earnings.
In the case between the Attorney-General of Lagos State versus the beggars, they were slammed with a three-count charge of conducting themselves in a disorderly manner without visible means of livelihood and committed an offence punishable under the criminal law of Lagos State.
They were also charged with conducting themselves in manner likely to cause breach of peace and thus committed an offence punishable under the same criminal law of Lagos State 2011.
The last count declared that the beggars received, demanded for dues and collected unauthorized levy from persons and committed an offence punishable under section two of the Illegal Collection of Dues in Public Place (prohibition) Law of Lagos State 2003.
The presiding magistrate sentenced them to one month imprisonment or a fine of N5,000 each after the beggars pleaded guilty to the count charges.
The name of the convicted beggars are: Aliyu Ikure, 50; Muhammed Bello, 60; Abubakar Adamu, 60; Yusuf Ibrahim, 55; Isiaka Husseni, 55; Abubakar Usman, 65; Abubakar Garuba, 50 and Adamu Taofida, 65; all from the northern part of the country where poverty is highly endemic.

Four Ways To Show Love

Learning to recognise how you express love to your partner — and what makes your partner feel loved — can help you communicate your feelings more effectively.

Often, we end up taking each other for granted and allow silence to kill the relationship slowly. However, if dealt with in time, you can fix the situation by following these tips. Ensure that you do not become a statistic or a case study on relationships that fizzled out because the couple did not know how to express their feelings and show their love for each other. Here's what you can do:
Time factor
Learning to make time for your partner and making them a priority in your life is another way to show how much you care. There are times when our hectic schedules force us to put our personal lives on the back burner. While you can't help doing this sometimes, you should ensure that it does not become a disturbing pattern. This can be detrimental for your relationship and your future together as a couple.
Make'em feel 'gifted'
Some people feel loved and appreciated when they receive gifts, while others don't put too much value on it. Study what your partner likes and go with that. If he or she appreciates gifts a lot, then keep this in mind: The gifts you purchase don't have to be expensive, but they can certainly show that you put thought into them. After all, it's the gesture that counts.
How 'touching'
Nothing says I love you more than a tight hug or a kiss. A touch can be soothing, comforting and loving. It could just be the thing your partner may need after a long hard day at work or in the kitchen or at home, keeping the house in order.
Talk, but listen more
Listening to what your partner has to say is the best way for you to understand what they are feeling or experiencing at a particular time. One-way communication often leads to serious problems because only one partner does the talking while the other is listening. It can be frustrating for the latter, as they are forced to bottle up their emotions. Unfortunately, the former is too preoccupied with themselves to pay attention to what the latter has to say. Hence, it's important that you not only talk, but also listen to each other. Effective communication and sharing can help build a strong relationship.

Check out 10 tips for effective anger management in relationships

 10 Ways to Resolve an Argument with Your Spouse

In relationships, we all have our fights, and having the occasional heated debate with your significant other is even healthy. But when these fights cross into full-blown blow-ups, the arguments can quickly get out of hand. Follow these 10 tips for effective anger management if you want to enjoy a lasting, loving relationship.

1. Know when to make an exit. Remove yourself from a situation you can’t handle. If you can’t gracefully leave the room, gracefully change the topic.

2. Exit earlier than you think you need to. Exit when your anger is at a level three on a scale up to 10. By the time you’re up over level four, exits will become increasingly difficult. Self-righteous indignation will propel you to keep trying to prove your point and will make your wants seem all-important. (As a friend of mine once put it, “My anger makes what I want feel holy and what you want is totally insignificant.”)

3. Change your focus. Phew. You’ve separated yourself from that situation you couldn’t handle. Now what? Focus on something other than what you were mad about. Avoid further thoughts about the person.

4. Evoke peace and laughter. Find something to think about that evokes calm images or even laughter. Close your eyes and picture yourself on a beach.

Water Yam Slows down Ageing Process

Water yam can slow down the ageing process and boost the immune system, a nutritionist, Hajiya Jummai Abdul, has said.

Abdul said water yam was good for diabetic patients because it contained fibre, a substantial amount of antioxidants and Vitamin C and helped to suppress blood sugar.

Water yam belongs to the family of dioscorea alata specie of yam, a tuberous root vegetable.

Abdul said the high fiber content in water yam could be used to manage pile (hemorrhage) and constipation.

“The fresh roots of water yam contain good amount of antioxidant and Vitamin C. The vitamin C in water yam plays so many roles in anti-ageing, immune function, wound healing and bone growth.

“Also, it contains small amount of vitamin E and beta-carotene level. The tubers are in deeded one of the vegetable rich sources that has a lot of minerals, like copper, it has calcium, it contains potassium, iron and also phosphorus; these are all essential elements contained in water yam.

“It’s good for diabetic patients; it suppresses the blood sugar because of the high fibre content.’’

According to the National Cancer Institute, an online journal, antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. “Free radical damage may lead to cancer.’’

NAN reports that beta-carotene is good for vision, immunity and overall health.

Abdul also said water yam was a good source of the Vitamin B complex and energy, among others.

She explained that anything that had fibre could help to prevent constipation and also reduce pain for pile patients “because when it comes to bowel movement, you have hard stool, but by the time you eat water yam, the stool softens because of the fibre content.’’

The nutritionist also advised Nigerians to always eat local foods for good health.

Snoop Dogg Confesses To Literal P.I.M.P.-ing: 'Athletes Bought Pu**y From Me'

This is shocking mildly surprising!!
Many hip-hop stars rap about the woes of pimping, but Snoop sings from experience!
The P.I.M.P./Pimpin' Ain't Easy singer just admitted he actually kept an arsenal of prostitutes at his disposal throughout the mid and early 2000s. They followed him around on tour and he'd even rent their vajayjays out to athletes!!
In a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, the Lion/Dogg revealed all the EXPLICIT details:

"I put an organization together. I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten bitches on it. I could fire a bitch, fuck a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer… If I'm in a city where where the Denver Broncos or the Nuggets play, I get a couple of they players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number… A lot of athletes bought pussy from me."

Tricking for Snoop Dogg? Wow, that would be an interesting career path!!
The women were well lubricated compensated, too, because Snoop didn't even keep his cut of the poontang proceeds!!
He continued:

"I'd act like I'd take the money from the bitch, but I'd let her have it. It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp… As a kid I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bitches to match. I said, 'Fuck it - I'm finna do it.'"

The CRAZIEST part?
His relationship with wife, Shante Broadus, somehow survived this madness!
He admitted:

"My wife had to take a backseat to this shit. And I love her to this day because she coulda shook out on a nigga, but she stayed in my corner. So when I decided to let it go, she was still there."

Incredible! Most women wouldn't put up with a harem of hookers humping their main man!!

2Face’s Babymama, Sunmbo Ajaba Cancels Wedding With Pastor Lover?

It seems the reported wedding between Sunmbo Ajaba, 2Face’s babymama; and her heartthrob, Pastor David Adeoye, has been cancelled.
Their court wedding was held on Thursday May 2nd at the Ikoyi registry. They already held their introduction ceremony. David and Sunmbo, we learnt, have been friends for many years but their friendship changed after David lost his wife, Folake Adeoye in November 2011. Pastor Adeoye whose eyes, we gathered, have been fixed on Sumbo shortly after the demise of his wife, proposed and Sunmbo didn’t hesitate to say no since the man has been so supportive using her event company to organize virtually all the church’s activities.

Sumbo is one of the active members in pastor Adeoye's church and is a committed choir member who leads the praise and worship. 
The wedding, which should have held last week Saturday in Lagos, didn’t take place any longer. On that day, Sunmbo was reportedly in the United States of America celebrating the birthday of her child, who turned five, while her Pastor ‘hubby’ was reportedly in church in Lagos. Read it HERE
Even the Registry that was supposed to hold on Thursday, May 2 in Ikoyi, didn’t take place as earlier planned.
Pastor Adeoye is the Senior Pastor at Royal Christian Centre. It is still not clear what could have led to it. We will dig into it and bring details later.
The duo reportedly had a secret marriage in South Africa but planned a Nigeria version of it.

Chime Makes Public Appearance After Rumoured Death

Seven days after his rumoured death, Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime yesterday made a public appearance at Okpara Square where he inaugurated the newly appointed administrators of the 57 Local Government Development Centers (LGDCs).
It would be recalled that last week rumours were widespread that the governor had passed on, a development that heightened political tension in the state.
The Commissioner of Information in the state, Chuks Ugwoke had described the rumour as unfounded and insisted that the governor was hale and hearty.
Speaking at the inauguration, Governor Chime warned them that they were not appointed to flex muscles with the chairmen of local government areas in the state.
He disclosed that their appointment followed consultations, and said that they owed their appointment not only to him but also to the people.
The governor also told the administrators that they were appointed to serve as tools in the hands of the council chairmen with a view to achieving results.
He enjoined them to work very closely with the council chairmen, and assured them that they enjoyed as much support as elected council officers.
According to him, the administrators were expected to be directly in touch with the grass roots and used the opportunity to thank the people of the state for their prayers and well wishes.

What My Husband Told Me Before His Death – Turai Yar’Adua

Posted by: michael emmanuel

Hajiya Turai Umaru Musa Yar’adua has revealed how her husband, former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua once told her that his relatives would quarrel with her after his death as they would think he had left so much money.
The former first lady who spoke at a memorial lecture in honour of the late president in Katsina at the weekend, also said “the late Yar’adua was not a materialist leader who believed in accumulating wealth. In fact, he shunned material things as his slogan was service to humanity.
“There was a time he said to me that ‘Turai, I pity you because when I die you will have quarrels with my relatives because they will think I have so much money in my possession”, she said.
She said the situation in Nigeria would have been better had the late president survived his ailment because he was a “focused, committed and determined leader”.

“Although my husband was sick for a long time he did his very best for Nigeria. Also as governor of Katsina State, he did his best for the state; he is an honest man who believed in service”, she said.
Extolling his virtues as a leader, Turai said the late President would not give out contract without having the money to pay for it.
“There was a time I approached him that people are complaining that the government was slow. But he said to me people can say whatever they like but I will not give out contract if I have no money to pay.
“The late Umaru was a kind of leader that would go out and monitor projects. I could recall when I used to join him to supervise the projects at Umaru Musa ‘Yar’adua University, Turai ‘Yar’adua Hospital and the roads,” she said.
