There was tragedy on Thursday along Uhumudumu Road in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo state when a young girl suspected to be a student of Ambrose Alli University; Ekpoma was crushed to death by a Lorry.
Crowd of sympathizers gathered at the scene to catch a glimpse of what transpired while vehicular traffic was on a stand still for several hours.
An eye witness account revealed that a motorcycle popularly known as Okada carrying the young girl was trying to overtake another Okada when they collided with each another before the girl who was the passenger fell on the road and was crushed to death by the moving Tipper.
Men of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Iruekpen Division who were on ground to ease traffic later took the lifeless body of the young girl to a nearby mortuary.
They are soft, warm, beautiful, bouncy, sensitive, sexy, curvy, but apart from these are you aware of any other interesting fact about a woman's breasts?
Breasts are probably the most beautiful part of a woman's body. They can easily be counted among one of the first things men notice in women. Women are always conscious about their breasts; however, with all due respect, they know very little about them. Apart from arousing sexual desire, breasts also symbolize beauty, femininity.
1. The left breast is usually bigger
It's little hard to notice but the left breast is always bigger than the right one. They are never exactly the same size. Nipples also come in varying sizes, and they also point in different directions.
2. Every woman has hair on areola
It's a big turn-off for men but it's a fact. Each woman has between 2-15 dark, straight strands growing. The darker your skin and hair, the darker the nipple hair. Breasts can also get blackheads and pimples. So, always take special care of your breasts.
3. Average breast weighs 0.5 kilogram
The average breast weighs about 0.5 kilograms. Each breast contributes to about 4-5 per cent of the body fat and thus 1 per cent of the total body weight of an average woman. Breasts get fatter as women grow older. Also remember that smokers will have saggier breasts than non-smokers.
4. Over 2 million women have fake breasts
From Pamela Anderson to Katie Price more than 2 million women have breast implants. The figure shows how much women think about their breasts. Not every woman who went under the knife is always pleased with the results. The average age of a woman who gets implants is 34.
5. Breasts get bigger when aroused
Breasts become taut when aroused,they become more attractive and sensitive to touch.At this stage,the breast becomes fuller.
6. Breasts don't like bouncing around: Jogging, walking and aerobics can cause your breasts to bounce around. Always wear a proper bra to minimize the bounce, so that you can also reduce your breast pain. Remember, the main function of bras is to protect the health of your breasts.
7. Breasts can go out of shape: It sounds strange but sleeping face-down can sometimes misshape your breasts. Always take care of your sleeping position so that you maintain the firmness and shape of your breasts. The best sleeping position is to sleep on your side, with a pillow under them for support as you sleep.(please people with size 40 and above take note of the pillow very important).
According to information provided by the Enugu State Police Command, the first incident occurred on Sunday, April 26, at Umuaina, Umuogboagu village, in Igboeze North Local Government Area of the state. It was gathered that Chijioke Onyeke attacked his father with machete after a quarrel that arose over a yet to be determined reason.
Family members and neighbours, who witnessed the attack, rushed the elder Onyeke to St. Mary’s hospital, Ogurete, Enugu Ezike, where he died from inflicted injuries. Chijioke has been arrested, he is now in police custody, as investigation continues.
Another blood-curdling incident happened on Monday, April 27, at Ette Center in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State. Chidi Agbo beat his mother Virginia Agbo to death and left her lifeless body lying on her bed. Agbo was arrested but the motive of the murder is still unknown.12 Die As Members Of Cult Groups Clash In Bloody Scuffle
Bodies of the both deceased were deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, at Ogurute, Enugu Ezike, for autopsy. The spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the two incidents and disclosed that the two suspects are helping the police in ongoing investigations.
Members of the Chibok community in Borno State have not yet seen any of their 219 schoolgirls abducted over a year ago by Boko Haram insurgents in the Northeast of the much beleaguered state. However, they insist that they have high hopes that their missing daughters would soon walk home. Tuesday’s rescue of 200 girls and 93 women that was announced by the authorities has raised their hopes that things might soon turn around for good for them, and their daughters would eventually be rescued.
The Nigerian military high command on Tuesday announced that troops had rescued some 200 girls and 93 women during a counter-insurgency operation near Sambisa Games Reserve where the Boko Haram insurgents have their camps.
“Our gallant troops have been making progress in the desired aim of ridding the nation of terrorists and their sanctuaries. It is heartwarming to inform you that today, (Tuesday), troops continued the offensive and cleared four key terrorists camps in Sambisa forest, Borno State. So far, they have destroyed and cleared Sassa, Tokumbere and two other camps in the general area of Alafa, all within the Sambisa forest. The troops rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 women. They are presently being processed,” Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, disclosed in a message to Daily Sun on Tuesday.
Some media reports had speculated that the 200 rescued girls might be part of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by the insurgents on April 14, 2014. But the military, while clarifying the report, insisted that those rescued were “not Chbok girls.”
However, parents and relations of the Chibok schoolgirls, in their reaction to the news of the release of the 200 girls, said the development had raised their hopes that their daughters could be found soon. They said the rescue also brought to the fore the fact that several other women and girls had been kidnapped before and after April 14, 2014 when their daughters were whisked away into the forest by Boko Haram.
“We are happy because people that were hitherto not known to have been abducted are now being rescued, It is giving hope to us the parents and relations that some of the Chibok girls will be freed one day, even if not all,” spokesman of the Chibok Community (Kibaku Association), Dr Mannaseh Allen, informed Daily Sun.
According to him, the rescue on Tuesday of the women and girls has cleared the air of initial doubts from certain quarters over the abduction of the Chibok girls.
“This development also gives us hope and clears the air of intial doubts that the abduction of our daughters was untrue. It gives credence to the fact that not only Chibok schools girls have been kidnapped by Boko Haram but several others who many people outside Borno were unaware of,” he added.
He said Chibok people were now more hopeful than ever before, adding that the despair and gloom of the commemoration of the one year anniversary of the kidnap of the teenagers have now thawed with the cheering news by the military on Tuesday. He said right now, the entire community was rejoicing with the families of the 200 girls and 93 women just rescued. “At least,, we believe they can now re-unite with their families after they have been identified,” he noted.
A security source confirmed to Daily Sun that many of the rescued girls were earlier kept in Gwoza by the insurgents but were moved to Sambisa forest when the military launched an offensive in the area earlier in April, leading to the recapture of the hilly town that had been a stronghold of the insurgents. It was named the capital of Boko Haram’s purported Islamic caliphate.
Some teenagers were kidnapped in Konduga and Askira Uba in June, 2013 when the insurgents attacked the area while several others were abducted in the series of attacks on communities by the insurgents. Many believe more girls and women kidnapped by Boko Haram in the state might still be unaccounted for.
But a convener of Pro-women rights group, Women for Peace and Security Network who is also a Bring Back Our Girls Crusader, Prof Auwa Biu said the rescue of the 200 girls did not call for jubilation.
“There is no cause for any jubilation for some of us in the campaigns to bring back our girls,” she said in a telephone interview with Daily Sun yesterday. She challenge the military to produce the photographs of the women and girls that were rescued immediately, wondering why the military made the information about the rescue known to the public before carrying out its investigation. She described the effort as diversionary, saying the military only used the 200 girls to take away attention of the people from the schoolgirls abducted from the Government Girls’ College, Chibok, in April last year.
An Abeokuta Customary Court sitting in Ake on Wednesday April 29th dissolved a three-year-old marriage between Mr Femi Olayiwole and wife, Kemi, due to the absence of vagina, deceit and frequent fighting. Olayiwole told the court that his wife deceived him to marry her knowing that she could not bear him a child. He accused his wife, who had failed to appear in court after being summoned several times, of living a false life, frequent fighting and threatening his life.
“My wife had been deceiving me since we got married I have never seen her pass through menstruation. My wife does not have any vagina opening. Anytime I ask her for sex, she would give an excuse to back up her refusal. Meanwhile, we have been praying to God to give us children. My wife did not tell me anything about her condition before we got married, until February this year that she confessed to me that she had never experienced menstruation in her life.
I thought she was lying, so I went to see her parents who told me it was true, and that they thought their daughter explained to me before we got married,” Olayiwole told the court.He pleaded with the court’s president to dissolve his three-year-old marriage that had nothing to show for both now and in future. The News Agency Nigeria reports that the defendant was absent in spite several summons by the court.
The court’s president, Mr, Olalekan Akande, dissolved the marriage, saying that both parties had made up their minds to part ways. Akande said that both parties were free to remarry anybody of their choice, adding that the document of the marriage dissolution should be sent to Kemi.

Cheiiii I am sure this baby was breast-starved. My dear dont worry you will suck more when you grow up.
A wave of excitement swept through the land last night when the military announced that they had rescued 200 girls and 93 women from the Sambisa Forest. The huge widely uncultivated forest is believed to be the last major stronghold of Boko Haram in Borno State.
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) broke the news in three quick tweets on its tweeter handle.
The excitement was sparked by the feeling that the Chibok girls could be among the freed.
The DHQ said: “Troops this afternoon rescued 200 girls & 93 women from Sambisa Forest. We cannot confirm if the #ChibokGirls are in this group.
“Troops captured and destroyed 3 terrorists’ camps, including the notorious Tokumbere camp in the Sambisa Forest operation.
“The freed persons are now being screened and profiled; details later.”
The rescue of the girls and women raised the hope that they might be the 219 pupils of the Chibok Girls Secondary School, Borno State, whose kidnapping 379 days ago attracted worldwide outrage.
But the hope was dashed as the army, in a statement, said those rescued were not the Chibok girls.
Director of Defence Information Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade said: “I can only confirm the rescue this afternoon of 200 girls and 93 women in different camps in the forest.
“We are yet to determine their origin as all the freed persons are now being screened and profiled. Please don’t misquote me on their origin. We will provide more details later.”
A top military source gave an insight into the operation that led to the rescue. He said: “This operation was mainly carried out by Nigerian troops; none of the multinational forces was involved.
“Those liberated from Sambisa Forest have been moved to a military camp established as a transit camp. Many of them are receiving medication as I am talking to you.
“One obvious thing we have discovered so far is that many of them had been traumatised and psychologically disturbed. We are already interacting with them.
Another source said: “Many Boko Haram members were killed in the encounters between troops and the insurgents in Sambisa Forest before the 293 women could be set free. We will release figures and appropriate photographs after preliminary mop up operation.
“Most of the Boko Haram commanders are also on the run but we will get them wherever they go.
“The operation in Sambisa Forest is ongoing because intelligence report indicated that there could be up to 50 camps in the area.”
PRNigeria, a military information strategist, said: “At least three major terrorists camps have been destroyed in the well-coordinated attacks that include the destruction of the notorious Tokumbere camp in the Sambisa Forest.”
A senior military source said: “The Chibok girls are not among rescued hostages. Those rescued are persons recently kidnapped from Damboa and Gwoza. They were all rescued in one of the four camps inside the Sambisa Forest.
The Military is hopeful that more hostages will be rescued alive from the remaining three camps.”
The army’s statement, signed by the acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, said: “This is to inform you that our gallant troops have been making progress in the desired aim of ridding the nation of terrorists and their sanctuaries.
“It is heartwarming to inform you that today; troops continued the offensive and cleared four key terrorists’ camps in Sambisa forest, Borno State.
“So far, they have destroyed and cleared Sassa, Tokumbere & two other camps in the general area of Alafa, all within the Sambisa forest.
“The troops rescued 200 abducted girls (not Chibok girls) and 93 women. They are at present being processed.
“Similarly, a number of equipment and weapons have been captured. We will send further details and photographs soon.”
Before the army’s statement, former Minister of Education Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, one of the leaders of the BringBackOur Girls campaigners, in a tweet said:
“We rejoice for news of rescue of several of our female citizens from Sambisa Forest by our Military, according to DefenceInfoNG.”
She also told our correspondent: “Our hearts are palpitating and we can’t wait to see if the rescued ladies are actually our girls. We are waiting to hear from the military but the number is so close.”

As a Fat Girl I understand the rules and boundaries that I must follow in order to comply with society. The usual; never wear horizontal stripes, never wear your hair short, and never get your hopes up in finding Mr. Right.
Mr. Right who happens to have a six pack, man bun, delicious beard, pirate tattoos, a well paying job, and the most sensual Christian Grey aura about himself (That might have to be another blog entry; "Where's Waldo: Stalking the Perfect Man Edition").
But back to the point.
I should stay meek, and not make too much noise, because being fat is already a disturbance.
If you have been attuned to recent discussions and the ever growing acceptance of larger women in fashion you would have noticed the booming trend of bigger women flaunting and galavanting themselves around in barely-there ensembles. From social media and that ever popular hashtag#ImNoAngel....there seems to be a phase of allowing bigger women to feel as if they’re accepted in todays society, especially when showing their bodies.
I recently overheard a conversation between two coworkers who were scandalized over going to the beach and having to layout near a pack of fat girls who took it upon themselves to wear bikinis.How dare they.
Coworker 1: "It was so awkward laying out near them."
Coworker 2: "Right! Fat girls should never show their skin."
Their conversation got me thinking that maybe, just maybe fat girls haven't learned that they should never show their skin. Perhaps they haven't been enlightened in the fact that it's not acceptable.
But I’m here to tell you that Fat Girls should NEVER show their skin.....here is why:
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might exude confidence that would intimidate those who are surrounding her.
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might unknowingly become a role model to younger girls. She might teach them that no matter what people say true beauty comes from within. Hell, she might teach them to love what they see in the mirror.
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might end up catching the eye of that hot guy whose been surfing with his hot friends. Hey you, I see you checking her out. He might find her confidence sexy, and he might, you know, find her beautiful. We don't need fat girls thinking that they're beautiful.
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might make it painfully obvious that she’s different. The world doesn’t need unique and divergent people.
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might interpret it as being brave. We don’t need Fat girls running around feeling brave. We don’t need Fat girls thinking that they have to be brave to be themselves. We don’t need Fat girls thinking that they have to be brave to show their skin. There shouldn’t be a bravery that comes along when others are sure to ridicule and humiliate you.
A Fat Girl should never show her skin because she might make those around her uncomfortable with the power it gives her to not give a fuck. She doesn’t give a fuck because nobody should give a fuck. It’s no secret that she’s fat. If the whole world can see that she's fat why then must she hide it? Who is she hiding it from? Why is she hiding it? Why are we making her hide it?
Fat girls should never show their skin...in the dark.
Fat girls should never show their skin...with their heads held down.
Fat girls should never show their skin...in shame.
Fat girls should never show their skin without a smile.

Due to the kind of clothes she likes to wear and is comfortable in, Baby Blanche has revealed in an interview with Showbiz that she hardly wears panties when she’s going out.
Baby Blanche
“I love all kinds of lingerie that make a woman feminine because I’m a woman, but I hardly wear panties. This is not because I don’t want to wear them but because the clothes I love to wear wouldn’t permit me to,” she told Showbiz.
“I try as much as possible to act as a lady and not to let my panty lines show just because I like to wear dresses that hug my figure. So if I wear clothes and the outline of my panty is glaring like that I don’t like it,” she explained. “Being a lady is not only about wearing make-up and Brazilian hair but also comprises the propriety of whatever you’re wearing,” says Baby Blanche. She adds that she does not worry much about thoughts that she may be sexually assaulted by unscrupulous men because she makes sure she doesn’t go to awkward places at awkward hours.
In the past, the fear of teachers was the beginning of wisdom for pupils. It is no longer so today. Pupils have grown wings. Their teachers are afraid of them. Discipline has collpased in schools. What is the way ?
A security man’s attempt to correct a pupil went wrong sometime last month in a public secondary school in Lagos.
The girl’s truancy had just been discovered by her mother who was informed by a teacher. For some time, she left home everyday for school, but she spent all her time in a barber’s shop opposite her school.
When confronted by her mother, rather than being sober, the teenager walked away in anger. The security man, who witnessed the incident, tried to call her to order and paid dearly for it. The barber smashed a bottle on the securityman’s head for harassing his girlfriend.
By now, there was a crowd of teachers and onlookers at the school gate, with many wondering why it took the teachers so long before informing the girl’s parents of her truancy.
“You saw what this man (referring to the barber) just did?” One of the teachers responded in defence of his peers. “If this man could stab our securityman, then he can do worse to us teachers. Let us assume this had happened far from the school premises, who would have helped this security man out?”
“It’s not that we are looking away from them but we are merely conscious of our own safety because some of our students can be desperate,” another teacher protested.
“You see, you cannot predict the extent some of these wayward students can go. They can even harm or kill whoever tries to scold them once they realise the atmosphere is safe for them to do it. Teachers’ security is in God’s hand,” the teacher added.
The teachers’ reactions raised questions about how far they should go to discipline erring children. Many teachers believe they cannot do more than parents, who have the primary responsibility of disciplining their children.
National President, All Nigerian Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) Dr Fatima Binta Abdulrahman said the issue is so serious that it comes up each time the body holds its congress.
“It is a worrying situation which usually comes up under our sub-themes each time we have our congress. We talk about it regularly. It is the responsibility of the school management to instill discipline. If a student threatens a teacher, the school-based management committee and the Parent Teacher Association should take it up.
“We have discovered the cause of all these as moral decadence. We are even having situations where parents take teachers to court for beating their wards,” she said.
Mrs Bunmi Oluokun, head teacher of Ansar-Ud-Deen Nursery and Primary School, Mafoluku, Oshodi, said many children are so spoilt that teachers cannot effectively play the role of Loco Parentis.
She said: “I do not know whether I should term it modernisation; everything has gone beyond normal. Back then, when we went to school, we had the fear of our teacher in mind. But nowadays the reverse is the case. Some pupils are so rude they do not respect their parents or teachers. Some teachers would not want to risk their lives. Besides, how much are they earning? And if they die in the process what would the owner of the school or the government do? There is nothing like teachers playing second parents to pupils again; we are all here on our own. Is it the child that would raise hand and slap his parent at home that would not be able to do same to a teacher?”
Like many of his colleagues, Mr Adeyemi Adesanya, who teachers at the Adeyemi College of Education, Oto/Ijanikin (AOCOED), believes that when a child is wayward, it is simply a proof of failure on the part of parents.
Adesanya lamented that the situation is so bad, especially in public schools where some students have to fend for themselves.
“Imagine a student working in a beer parlour or having to hawk pure (sachet) water in order to augment family income? The probability of such children to be lured into bad company is quite high.
“Teachers are not miracle workers. A child comes from home with a character which they have to build upon. So if the foundation is defective, there is little the teacher can do,” he noted.
However, many private school administrators believe that the school should do more. Mrs OpeoIuwa Adeboye, head teacher, Green Bells International School, Mafoluku, Oshodi, thinks the school should be blamed for the communication gap.
“There is a gap in communication. What is the usefulness of attendance in class? If you notice a particular student is absent for two days, it is required that you contact the parents to find out why the student is absent. Psychologically, you do not know what the child is facing at home. The teachers should even be blamed and the school management should look into that. A child comes to your school not just to learn academically but also morally,” she said.
Some other teachers think the situation can be addressed by public shaming and corporal punishment.
Justina Falako, head teacher of Honey Field Primary School, Lagos, said public shaming puts children on the straight and narrow.
“A child like that is supposed to be disciplined both by the parents and the school. Suspension should be better from school and also bring her out on the assembly ground and flog her. That would send a warning signal to others. In my school, I discipline any erring child. I make sure I bring him out before his peers and flog him. Such behaviour only tells you that the child is given a free hand at home,” she said.
However, Mrs Oyedele Titilope, Assistant head teacher, African Church Bethel Nur Pry School, Ifako, says many parents do not like their wards to be beaten by teachers.
She said: “Use of corporal punishment is not allowed in my school. But some of the children can be so naughty that you would not have a choice. But many parents do not even like it and schools have frowned against flogging. They now believe in learning from experience or mistakes. So, we correct them verbally. We scold them, then once in a while we give minor punishments like kneel down for a short while, raise up your hands, close your eyes. But all these are just for a short while so that the children’s learning process would not be affected. It is a natural thing for a child to make mistakes. So, we can only correct them with love.”
Mrs Romoke Aderibigbe, proprietress of Diamonds Mine Schools, Adeyeri, Ogba, Lagos, also said flogging does not achieve the desired results.
“We train the children with love. If you cane them, they would become afraid of school, which should not be so. If you want to correct them, you choose the right words to encourage them not to discourage them. Do not use vulgar or abusive words. And through repetition, the child would change. Try not to kill the child’s morale. I always tell my teachers that once a pupil is admitted into the school, he or she becomes your child so train them the way you would train your child,” she said.
In disciplining errant pupils, teachers must be wise to avoid being hurt, says Wole Peters (not real name), who teaches at Ojo Community High School, Ojo.
“He (teacher) has the right within and outside the school premises because we are loco parentis to them. At the same time, a teacher needs to be careful if he finds his student in an untoward situation. But if the teacher insists he must exercise his power and the situation boomerangs, he will have himself to blame.
“I’m close to 30 years in this profession and I have seen lots of unthinkable things. Do you realise that children in primary school now join cult let alone those in secondary schools? Therefore, teachers must apply wisdom in every situation,” he said.
Mrs Omotunde Lawson, president of the All Nigerian Confederation of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), Lagos State chapter, said teachers needed to be trained on how to handle sensitive situations.
She said: “Teachers will need training. They have to be trained on how to react to emergency situation. There are personal ways to address issues, legal ways to address issues. A child will tell you that he is an adult and so he has a right to do anything. Let the teachers be appropriately trained on how to manage issues that are delicate. By so doing, they know the step to take when issues come up. When they are fighting somewhere, yes, it is good for the teacher to go there; but should the teacher go where they are fighting and breaking bottles, or the teacher should seek the assistance of the police or the KAI people? Who are you to seek assistance from?”
Mosun Owo-Odunsi, proprietress of Amville School, Ilupeju, said such training should even be included in the teacher-training curriculum.
“One of the core areas we need to look at in our teacher education is safeguarding. It is what can also be introduced in schools, in continuous professional education development. At times, teachers may also be ignorant about it. But once they are educated, once the awareness is created, and the right information has been given to teachers, it should get better,” she said.
In addition to applying wisdom, Peters also advised schools to build on its relationship with its community, which can help rid it of miscreants that corrupt pupils in the neighbourhood. Similarly, he advised schools to inform the Ministry of Environment to get rid of shops, kiosks and other things that could constitute hangouts for hoodlums.
Peters’ suggestion is the direction that the Office of Quality Assurance, newly-established by the Lagos State government, would go.
In an interview, the Director-General of the Quality Assurance Office, Mrs Ronke Soyombo, said schools that have problems with discipline because of the presence of miscreants in their environment can ask for help.
“The monitoring and investigative department of our quality assurance office is doing a lot of work to see how they can support schools that are actually going through one problem or the other on safeguarding. What we have told schools is that people can call upon us anytime to advise them on what to do when it comes to safeguarding. But safeguarding is so paramount; we are not going to take it lightly at all. At the end of the day, we want to safeguard all our children to make sure that they are in very secured and safe environments,” she said.

It's a social experiment by whatever.com to see how men and women respond to sex from strangers. Last month, a man went to the streets to see how many women will agree to sleep with a random stranger. He asked 100 random women for sex and all 100 women turned him down. Now, guess what happened when a woman went to the streets to ask random men for sex?
Andrea Wendel (pictured above) approached 100 men by directly asking them whether they would follow her home and have sex with her. Out of the 100, guess how many men said yes? 30! 30 men agreed to there and then to follow a woman they have never seen before to her home for sex!
The experiment happened in the US. The clip was uploaded to Youtube and has since gone viral.
An AkwaIbom State High Court has sentenced Pastor Godwin Moffat (pictured above), a former NDDC Commissioner representing Akwa Ibom State, to three years imprisonment for stealing 56 transformers worth N220, 176, 320 which was meant for oil producing communities in the state.
In a 56 count charge filed in court by the EFCC, Pastor Moffat was said to have applied for 90 electricity transformers and 4 generators from NDDC for Akwa Ibom State sometime in February, 2006. Approval was given for 70 transformers but he diverted same to his house in Eket on the pretext that there was no space to accommodate the newly issued 70 units of transformers at the NDDC office in Uyo.
He thereafter sent only 14 Units to NDDC office in Uyo while he withheld 56 units which he could not account for till date.
One of the count reads,
“That you Pastor Godwin Moffat Eyo being a former Akwa Ibom State representative on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on or about 14thApril, 2006 at Uyo in the Uyo Judicial Division did fraudulently steal a 300 KVA/33/0.415 Transformer Serial No. 1712496 valued at Four Million, Eighteen Thousand, Five Hundred and Sixty Naira (N4,018,560.00), property of NDDC and thereby committed an offence of stealing contrary to Section 399 and punishable under Section 404 of the Criminal Code Cap. 38, Volume 2, Laws of Akwa Ibom State, 2000”.
President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has stopped the African Independent Television ( AIT) from covering his engagement, saying the two stations are security risky to the incoming president.
It will be recalled that both NTA and AIT were conspicuously medium which were used by President Goodluck Jonathan and his partu the People Democratic Party (PDP) to campaigned against the APC flagbearer during the just concluded elections
But our correspondent gathered Buhari’s team is yet to come to term with what was described as issues of ethics and standards neglected during the campaign by the two media houses
On Monday, AIT crew was asked to leave the Defence House during the visit of the Cuban Ambassador to Nigeria to the President-elect, but the crew refused to leave the venue immediately.
When contacted Buhari Spokesman, Garba Shehu said that what gave rise to the measure was concerns over security and ethical standards which members of the family of the President- elect raised.
.”AIT has been asked to stay aside based on security and family concerns. In addition, the Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve some issues relating to issues of standard and ethics.
“We will be talking with them to try and resolve the matter but for now the station has been asked to stay aside Because like I said there are some family and security concerns. They have been asked to step down their coverage until we resolve the matter with them on ethics and standards.”
He however, said it was not true that the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has been bared along with the AIT, Shehu said the NTA crew are free to attend the events of the President-elect and to cover it accordingly.

1. 50 year old Martin Anderson (above) was arrested in Jakarta in 2003 on a charge of possessing about 1.8 ounces of heroin and was accused of being part of a local drug ring. He had traveled to Indonesia on a fake Ghanaian passport and has been incorrectly identified as Ghanaian. He was sentenced to death in 2004. According to his lawyer, Kusmanto, who like many Indonesians uses one name, Mr. Anderson was shot in the leg during his arrest — a method the Indonesian police are sometimes known to use when apprehending a suspect — and remains bothered by the wound to this day.
He has been in poor spirits since being transferred to Nusakambangan Island for execution, Mr. Kusmanto said. Mr. Anderson has filed for a judicial review of his conviction and death sentence with the Supreme Court, but his lawyer said he feared the court would not consider the appeal until after he is executed. Such appeals can take six months to be heard, Mr. Kusmanto said. “Obviously we hope it’s sooner.”
2. Silvester Obiekwe Nwolise’s story, as his wife tells it, is similar to those of other Nigerians on Indonesia’s death row for drug trafficking. Unemployed in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, he was lured to Pakistan by fellow Nigerians on the promise of a job with good wages.
But once in Pakistan, instead of a job, he got an offer to swallow some capsules – filled with goat horn powder, his wife, Fatimah Farwin, says he was told – and fly to Indonesia.
“They said they didn’t want to pay tax on it,” Ms. Fatimah said. “When he arrived at the airport in Jakarta, the police saw him – I don’t know how – they caught him and X-rayed him, and they found it and it was drugs.”
Arrested in 2001, Mr. Nwolise was convicted the following year of bringing 2.6 pounds of heroin into the country, and was sentenced to death.
During his trial, according to Ms. Fatimah, Mr. Nwolise had no translator, and his Indonesian lawyer could barely communicate with him. She said that a judge, through an intermediary, offered to sentence him to prison rather than death if he paid a bribe of 200 million rupiah, worth about $22,000 at the time.
“But he was just a poor courier. He didn’t have any money,” Ms. Fatimah said.
Ms. Fatimah, who is Indonesian, met Mr. Nwolise in prison in 2007, when she was accompanying a friend who was visiting another inmate. The two married later that year; they have since had two children, now 5 and 3, but she has not brought them to see him since they were infants. She has told them that their father is working in an office in another country.
In January, the Indonesian police accused Mr. Nwolise of running a drug syndicate from prison. No charges were brought, but Ms. Fatimah, who says emphatically that her husband is innocent of the accusation, believes it resulted in his being placed in the group of inmates now facing imminent execution.
“Some woman on the outside blamed him,” Ms. Fatimah said, referring to a police informant, “but when they came to his cell, they never found anything – never, never, never. He never had a trial and next thing, they wanted to execute him.”
3. Jamiu Owolabi Abashin was living on the streets of Bangkok in 1998 when a fellow African living there took pity on him and brought him home. Shortly thereafter, according to Mr. Abashin, his new friend asked whether he wanted a quick-paying job, in which he would get $400 for bringing a package of clothing to the friend’s wife in Surabaya, Indonesia, where she sold used shirts and pants.
Mr. Abashin readily agreed, but soon wished he hadn’t: The package contained nearly 12 pounds of heroin, and he was arrested after landing at Surabaya’s airport. Mr. Abashin, who was traveling on a false Spanish passport, contended he was duped.
He was convicted in 1999 and sentenced to life in prison, which was reduced to 20 years on appeal. State prosecutors challenged the sentence reduction before the Indonesian Supreme Court, which in 2006 sentenced Mr. Abashin to death.
In a request for presidential clemency in 2008, he admitted knowingly smuggling the drugs. The request was denied in January.
The Indonesian government refers to him as Raheem Agbaje Salami, the name on the fake Spanish passport he was using when he was arrested.
Ursa Supit, an Indonesian legal activist who is advocating on Mr. Abashin’s behalf, says that because he had no money, he was assigned a state lawyer for his trial and had no legal counsel when he appealed to the Supreme Court.
Mr. Abashin, who now has a lawyer, is challenging Mr. Joko’s rejection of his clemency request.
“He has been inside now for 17 years, and he has never broken a rule inside,” Ms. Supit said. “And now they are going to execute him. He’s never had money for lawyers. It’s not fair.” Okwudili Oyatanze, 41, Nigeria - Smuggling heroin
The YouTube clip shows what seems to be a typical Sunday religious service at a small church. A young African man, accompanied by an Asian guitarist, sings a heartfelt gospel song as the audience sings along. But the camera does not show the security guards, iron bars and barbed wire fences that would have indicated this was no ordinary place. The singer, Okwudili Oyatanze, was giving his regular performance at a penitentiary outside the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
Known in Indonesia’s penal system as “The Death Row Gospel Singer,” Mr. Oyatanze, 41, was arrested in 2001 while trying to smuggle 5.5 pounds of heroin through Jakarta’s international airport, in his stomach, after arriving on a flight from Pakistan. He was convicted the following year and sentenced to death.
4. Mr. Oyatanze has made the most of his incarceration, writing more than 70 songs and recording multiple albums behind bars. He has performed with prison guards as well as fellow inmates.
In the video, shot in 2008, Mr. Oyatanze sang his song “God You Know,” which was also the name of an album he released that year.
“He has turned his life around in jail,” said the Rev. Charles Burrows, a Catholic priest from Ireland who now lives in Indonesia and is offering religious counseling to Mr. Oyatanze as he awaits his execution.
Raised in outheastern Nigeria, Mr. Oyatanze started a garment business in 1999, traveling to Indonesia to buy clothing and resell it in Nigeria. The business collapsed, and Mr. Oyatanze, heavily in debt, traveled to Pakistan to try to revive it, at the suggestion of a fellow Nigerian living there.
The plan involved swallowing capsules of heroin before boarding a flight to Jakarta. “There was a chance to earn some easy money, so he became a courier,” Mr. Burrows said.

35 year old Nigerian woman, Adebamiro Temitope, pictured left, has been arrested by the New Castle Police in Delaware for stabbing her 37 year old Nigerian husband and father of her two children, Adeyinka Adebamiro to death over allegations of abuse and cheating.
The woman accused her husband of constant abuse and claimed he cheated on her with several women including her sister and their nanny's daughter.
According to Delaware Online, neighbors alerted the police after screams and shouting was heard emanating from the couple's home in the 1300 block of Healy Courton in New castle on Thursday April 23rd. When the police got to their home, they found Adeyinka in the pool of his blood with a 4 inch single stab wound just below his neck which severed his carotid artery and jugular vein.
Temitope told the police during interrogation that she and her late husband had been married for 10 years with two children and he'd abused her for most of their marriage. She said the real trouble between them started when she found out her husband was sleeping with her own sister as well as the daughter of their nanny and other women. She said that the nanny had lived with them for two years.
Temitope also told investigators her husband had sent her to Nigeria for several months and after returning in December, she had to stay in a hotel near the Philadelphia airport for four days because her husband refused to let her into their Red Lion home.
He then paid for her to fly back to Nigeria for a few more months, according to documents. About this time, she learned that her husband had spent Christmas with the nanny's daughter.
The husband later flew out to Nigeria and flew back with her to Philadelphia. As he showed her the cameras inside their home over his cellphone, Temitope saw the nanny's daughter inside the home, documents claim.
At one point, Temitope saw several texts and images in her husband's phone, which she took pictures of using her cellphone. Some of the pictures included images of her sister and the nanny's daughter. The documents do not detail the images beyond that.
As the investigation drew to the night before the killing, police learned the couple had been talking and watching television on the couch about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Temitope and her husband began arguing after he discovered the photos she'd taken on her cellphone and he began erasing them, according to court papers.
As he yelled at her, Temitope told police there was a power outage at which time she went to the kitchen until power returned, according to documents.
Investigators checked with Delmarva Power, which indicated no such power outage occurred at that time, police said.
Temitope then told police that when the power returned, she found her husband in the first-floor bedroom lying in the bed. As she got closer to him, she saw a knife on the ground which she picked up and took to the kitchen. according to documents.
As she put it away, she noticed blood on the tip and that's when she realized that he was stabbed, the papers said.
While not admitting to the killing, the court papers claim Temitope changed her story several times about what happened in the bedroom, including to say that she entered first and her husband followed her in with the knife but that he later dropped it.
Temitope suggested that her husband stabbed himself, according to the papers. The autopsy, according to the papers, said the homicide was a single stab wound just below the victim's neck, about 2 inches off the center line. The stab was 4 inches deep and severed the victim's carotid artery and jugular vein.
When police told Temitope that this was not a suicide, the woman "began nodding her head in agreement," according to court documents.
Temitope was charged with first-degree murder and other charges. She was arraigned and committed to the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution where she is being held without bail.

According to the story told by Vanguard, Ladi and the man who attacked her had been lovers since secondary school. When she fell pregnant, the couple decided to live together but unfortunately the child died.
Then when they began to have problems, the man married someone else, prompting Ladi to leave the house. Then the man came begging but her family demanded that he marry her properly first before she moves back in with her.
While they were making wedding preparations, the man rented a house for Ladi, who also managed to get some money to start a fruits shop. Eventually, the man decided he no longer wanted to marry Ladi and asked her to pack out from the home he rented for her. When Ladi refused, he threatened to deal with her and destroy the 'beauty' sh was using to pose around town. Aladi didn't take him serious. Then he showed how serious he was.
A few weeks ago, Kazeem came to her house in the middle of the night and attacked her with acid. Kazeem was arrested but released three days later after his family agreed to pay the medical bills for Aladi who is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja, Kogi State.
Flirting is that special way one person acts to show another person that he or she is sexually or romantically interested or attracted. It may be expressed by body language, eye contact, tone of voice, touch, or a combination of any of these behaviors. Flirting is often playful in nature and may be very subtle at times and very obvious at other times. There is an art to effective flirting, and the best, and most fun, way to get better at it is to practice a lot, after studying these tips.
1. Smiling is the most powerful flirting tool available. Everyone loves to see a pleasant, happy face, and a smile sends all the right messages.
2. Playful touches are a low-key way to flirt without being overtly sexual. A playful punch or poke, messing up his hair, or playing with her jewelry are fun ways to get close without going overboard.
3. Eye contact is essential when flirting. But don’t overdo it, some people are not comfortable maintaining eye contact for long periods of time. Just use it for long enough to let the person know they’ve got your attention.
4. Show interest by asking questions and listening. It’s flattering to have someone show a genuine interest in your opinions, likes, dislikes, and experiences.
5. Friendly competition can set off sexual sparks. Challenge that guy or girl who’s caught your interest to a game of pool, a race around the track, or even a wager on which team will win the next championship in their favorite sport.
6. Keep your body language smooth and open when flirting. Don’t tense up and cross your arms or hunch over like you’re enduring a blast of cold air. Lean toward the person you’re flirting with and imitate their body language in a subtle way.
7. Don’t take flirting too seriously. Do it for the fun of it. If your expectations are too high, and you’re holding your breath waiting for him to ask for your number, you won’t come across as confident, and the flirting will not be as fun for either party.
8. Everyone loves to get compliments, and compliments are a great way to flirt. Only give compliments that are genuine, and don’t get too personal.
9. If someone responds negatively to your flirting, ignoring you or rejecting you outright, walk away gracefully. Don’t be obnoxious and persist, thinking they are just playing hard to get.
10. If someone flirts with you and you are not interested, be polite. It’s not necessary to insult the person, just make it clear that you are not interested by making an excuse and walking away.
11. Don’t flirt with someone you are not really interested in dating. It’s not fair to lead someone on, only to inevitably dash their hopes later.
12. Clues that someone is flirting with you include: increased eye contact, preening behavior such as straightening their clothes or touching their hair, singling you out for conversation, standing or sitting close to you, or touching you.
13. Some places are more appropriate to flirt than others. Parties, nightclubs, informal get-togethers, and online dating sites are ideal places to flirt, while flirting at funerals, church services, and workplaces is not appropriate.
14. Making crude or sexual comments, inappropriate touching, comments about someone’s body, and unwelcome passes are not flirtatious. At best, they will send the person you are attracted to running in the other direction. At worst, they will be considered sexual harassment.
15. Go slowly when flirting and watch to see if the other person seems interested in you. Watch their body language and see if they send signals that they are interested. If they do, consider moving things to the next level by asking them out on a date.
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come
sometime or later.
Tears may fall in the night....But Joy comes in the Morning!!!!!!....Stay Strong....Hold On...Keep Your Head up.....If The Lord Got YOU THIS Far....Believe in Him To See You To The END
