PRESIDENT JONATHAN RECEIVES N21.27BN DONATION FOR RE-ELECTION.

The President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is financially ready to take on his opponents at the forthcoming 2015 general elections as he received a donation of N21.27bn from friends and associates. Aliko Dangote is yet to announce his donation, so this figure will definitely increase by geometric progression.

The candidate of APC, the major opposition party, Rtd General Buhari must be on his toes now, but I am sure the Jagaban, BAT, the Lion of Bourdillon, will fix him up financially.

MAN STABS HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER TO DEATH AFTER HE FOUND THEM HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IN A PARK.

A man got the ultimate reward for sleeping with another man's wife when he was fatally stabbed to death alongside his partner by the woman's husband.

Daily News reports that  the stabbing death of a man whose naked body was found outside of a Brooklyn apartment building exposed a sordid love triangle that ended in two killings, not one — and the arrest of a suspect Thursday.

Jerome Barrett, 35, is believed to have been having sex with a co-worker in a car parked near his East New York home early Wednesday when the woman’s husband interrupted their sexual encounter, police sources said.

The husband, Steve Whittingham, 48, stabbed Barrett several times in the chest and did the same to his wife, Jonelle Barker, 36, killing them both, police said in announcing Whittingham’s arrest early Thursday night.

GOALS DRIED UP BECAUSE OF MY MOTHER'S WITCHCRAFT - EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR.

Premier Leagues striker, Emmanuel Adebayor  has accused his biological mother of witchcraft which he claims has hindered him from excelling in his Premier League side, Tottenham.

Dailymail reports that his mother has been left heartbroken after her son claimed that she was practicing black magic on him. Emmanuel Adebayor has found himself in the middle of a bizarre family feud after suggesting that his mother was a witch.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker’s family, who live in Africa, accused the star of kicking his mother out of her home. They claim that the footballer’s decision to cut ties with his mother has left her earning just £1-a-day from selling tomatoes.

The 30-year-old star, who earns £170,000-a-week, accused the family of performing ‘juju’ on him, a term given to the practice of witchcraft in West Africa.

TIME TO SACK NIGERIA'S MILITARY CHIEFS.....

And when a commander is serially losing battles, what does a competent Commander-in-Chief do? President Goodluck Jonathan must act swiftly and decisively to “degrade and destroy this new brand of evil”.

We cannot continue to live in denial; some of our military and intelligence forces have lost their groove; their repeated folding before the fanatical Boko Haram fighters has humiliated all Nigerians, disgusted our international partners, cost thousands of human lives and destruction of colossal property. In war, it is said that when success goes unrewarded and the most extreme failure goes unpunished, it creates a perverse incentive system that drives leaders towards a risk-averse middle, where they are more likely to find stalemate than victory.

80 MILLION BACTERIA SEALED WITH A 10 SECONDS KISS.....

As many as 80 million bacteria are transferred during a 10 second kiss, according to research published in the open access journal Microbiome. The study also found that partners who kiss each other at least nine times a day share similar communities of oral bacteria.

The ecosystem of more than 100 trillion microorganisms that live in our bodies – the microbiome – is essential for the digestion of food, synthesizing nutrients, and preventing disease. It is shaped by genetics, diet, and age, but also the individuals with whom we interact. With the mouth playing host to more than 700 varieties of bacteria, the oral microbiota also appear to be influenced by those closest to us.

A suicide bomber disguised in school uniform detonated explosives at a high school assembly in the northeast Nigerian city of Potiskum on Monday, killing at least 48 students, according to survivors and a morgue attendant.

Soldiers rushed to the scene, grisly with body parts, in the capital of Yobe state, but they were chased away with stones and calls by people angry at the military's inability to halt a 5-year-old Islamic insurgency that has killed thousands and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes.

A suicide bomb attack in the same city killed 30 people one week ago, when suspected Boko Haram fighters attacked a religious procession of moderate Muslims.

The final days of one of Africa's longest serving leaders may have come as President Blaise Compaore's government has been toppled following massive protest by civilians in the poor African nation of Burkina Faso. He took power in 1987 in a bloody coup killing his best friend Thomas Sankara.

The military seized control of the government on Thursday and set a dusk-to-dawn curfew in what one general described as an effort to protect lives and restore order.

Unrest has gripped Burkina Faso, a key ally for the West in the fight against al Qaeda, as protests against President Blaise Compaore's government turned violent, culminating Thursday with demonstrators storming the Parliament and setting fire to the building.

FESTUS KEYAMO

Dear Sirs,

THREAT TO KILL MR. FESTUS KEYAMO BY MR. GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO (ALIAS TOMPOLO)

My name is Festus Keyamo. I am a Nigerian citizen and a senior member of the legal profession in Nigeria.

At exactly 10:13pm on Tuesday, October 28, 2014, I received a telephone call from one Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) with phone number 08027721208. We have been acquaintances in the past, so I know his numbers. After reaffirming that he is Tompolo when I picked his call, he went straight to the point by informing me that he wishes to inform me that he and his “boys” will kill me by beating me to death or shooting me anywhere they can find me. And that the hunt for me is on. His exact words in pidgin English was “we dey look for you. Anywhere we see you, whether for Lagos or Abuja or Warri, we go beat you die or we go shoot you.”

PDP ASKS "SPEAKER AMINU TAMBUWAL" TO RESIGN.

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is pushing for the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mallam Aminu Tambuwal, who defected to the All Progressives Congress on Tuesday.

Tambuwal had during plenary told his colleagues   that he heeded the calls of members of his constituency to dump the PDP.

He also claimed that certain developments in the Sokoto State chapter of the PDP suggested that he could no longer continue to be a PDP member.

POPE FRANCIS SURPRISINGLY DECLARES "EVOLUTION & BIG BANG THEORY" CORRECT.

What exactly is happening to the church??? This is a question that needs urgent answers. The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not “a magician with a magic wand”, Pope Francis has declared.

Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the “pseudo theories” of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI.

Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they “require it”.

My childhood bully who later became my personal person is getting married to our aburo. Yes, Tolulope is our aburo. I emphasized"OUR" because she was a younger friend of our clique before she ultimately became Isaac's fiancee. By the way, I belong to a clique of 7 great guys (Ay-dudu, Ay-pupa, Deolu, Arc Tolu, Isaac, Tunde & Xanta). 

Most of us grew up in the same neighborhood, attended same primary school (they were all my seniors) and have remained friends for more than 25 years. So, we met Tolulope through Ayo-dudu.

ORPHANED BY EBOLA..........

Two children sit outside a hospital in Kenema, the third largest city in Sierra Leone, digging into a bowl of food and sharing plastic bags of clean water.

They have both been orphaned during the Ebola outbreak that has gripped West Africa and put the rest of the planet in a state of constant vigilance and fear.

The death toll in the outbreak is now at 4,546, around half of the known cases in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to the latest figures from the UN World Health Organization.

Now, the WHO is scaling up efforts to reach 600,000 people that have been affected by the health crisis in the area, that has seen hundreds of children orphaned and many families left without a breadwinner.

SUCCESS STORY - HOW NIGERIA CONTAINED THE EBOLA OUTBREAK.

The lines on the tabular situation reports, sent to WHO each day by its country office in Nigeria, have now been full of zeros for 42 days.

WHO officially declares that Nigeria is now free of Ebola virus transmission.

This is a spectacular success story that shows that Ebola can be contained. The story of how Nigeria ended what many believed to be potentially the most explosive Ebola outbreak imaginable is worth telling in detail.

A PEEP INTO LIFE WITHOUT "F.O.D"

It's been about 5 weeks since my Father, my Friend and my Mentor was called to glory, trust me, life has not been the same.

He was the kind of man you could beat your chest and say would live for the next 20 years at least. So full of life and energy. There was never a dull moment with my father. Dad was loved by many, by both young and old, in church, in the community and within his nuclear/extended family. He worked hard and smart. Oh, death is cruel.

God took a decision we couldn't change. Our usual bubbling family home has become quite a shadow of itself. The silence there at the moment brings tears to my eyes, The tears flow when I remember his jokes and see our family pictures. No mortal being can bring him back but the scriptures assures me all will be well.

FELIX ODUSANYA DINA (1954 – 2014). THE PASSING OF A GOOD MAN BY JIDE AJANI.

LATE BARRISTER FELIX ODUSANYA DINA

Who is a good man?, you may ask!

He who, knowing that what he would say would definitely get some people angry, but puts it to the test of sincerity and honesty, convinces himself that saying it would be for a good cause before decent men and God Almighty, still goes ahead to say it, is a damn good man! 

Those may not be his exact words.

But were he alive and you ask Felix Odusanya Dina, LLB, BL, his response would not be too far away.  A man of character, Mr. Dina, as he was generally known by fellow residents of Abesan Low Cost Housing Estate, Abesan, Ipaja, Lagos, particularly his Block 396, Flat 3, was one damn good man.

RAPED COLLEGE STUDENT WILL CARRY HER MATTRESS EVERYWHERE UNTIL HER ALLEGED RAPIST IS EXPELLED.

A college student has taken the fight against her rapist and school authorities into her own hands as she has vowed to continue carrying her mattress everywhere she goes on her campus until the alleged rapist is expelled.

Emma Sulkowicz says she was raped in her own dorm bed by a classmate on the first day of her sophomore year of college. Since then, a substantial amount of her time at Columbia University has been spent trying to convince college administrators, police, and even friends that what happened to her really happened, that it was rape, and that her rapist deserves to be punished for what he did.

Sulkowicz is one of 23 students who are part of a federal Title IX complaint filed against Columbia in April for mishandling sexual-assault cases. Though she and two other students reported that the same student had assaulted them, all of their claims were swept under the rug, and the male student was not expelled from campus.
