Military can’t intimidate us with jet bombers –Avengers

From Ihenacho Nwosu, Molly Kilete, Abuja and Emmanuel Ogoigbe, Warri

Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) yesterday called the bluff of the Nigerian military, saying no amount of intimidation can make them abandon their struggle for the restructuring of Nigeria.
They accused the military of deceiving Nigerians by showing false videos of how they carried out bombardment of some illegal bunkering camps in the Niger Delta region.
The militants described the military’s action “as unprofessional and a ploy to intimidate them with scrap jet bombers”, adding that they would not be intimidated, even if more jet bombers were deployed to the region.
“They can deploy fourth generation jet-bombers but that will not stop us from fighting for our people. We, hereby, challenge the military to share with the public the militants killed in the so-called air strike. We are very sure that they won’t share the images of militants killed because non was killed except innocent women and children,” NDA spokesman, Brigadier General Mudoch Agbinibo, said.
“What we are saying is that the country should be restructured. The call for restructuring of Nigeria has gone beyond the NDA. The only group of persons against the restructuring is the Aso Rock Villa. The Federal Government should just listen to the voice of the citizens, instead of playing the deaf ear game,” the militants added.
“We are saying that @agbiniboND is our new official twitter account handle. Twitter can block or suspend our account but they cannot stop or block our struggle,” they further said in a one-page statement made available to newsmen.
The militants, however, vowed to bomb more oil pipelines in the region and urged President Muhammadu Buhari “to listen to voice of reason, instead of threatening us on the pages of newspapers.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Navy yesterday admonished the militants to embrace the olive branch extended to them by the Federal Government or face its wrath.
Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ibas, warned that the Navy has the capacity to wipe out militancy completely from the   region.
He said the force is, at the moment, being restrained from doing so because of government’s ongoing negotiation with the militants.
Vice Admiral Ibas said should the dialogue between the various tiers of government and the militants fail, the military would descend heavily on the militants.
Ibas said no responsible government, anywhere in the world, would fold its arm and watch a group of militants take laws into their hands by disrupting the peace and economy of its nation.
He lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for strengthening the might of navy and the military generally. He explained that the incumbent administration, more than anyone before it in the last few decades, has made enormous investments in the procurement of facilities for the force.
He insisted that the navy has done well, especially, in  the fight against insurgency and pirates.

Why I Brought Ahmed Musa to Leicester City - Ranieri Refer Eagles Star as 'Royal Air Force'

 Leicester manager, Claudio Ranieri, has revealed the reason why Super Eagles player, Ahmed Musa was brought to the EPL club as he refers to him as one of his 'Royal Air Force'.

Barclays Premier League 'Manager of 2015/2016 Season' and Leicester City FC coach, Claudio Ranieri, has told the club's official website of his delight to add another 'airplane' (Ahmed Musa) to his Leicester City version of the 'Royal Air Force' as he discusses the new faces in his squad. 

 

Last season, the manager joked regularly that his side were like the RAF in attack, as they pushed forward with so much speed which eventually paid off, and now with new boy, Ahmed Musa set to bolster the forward ranks, the manager couldn’t be happier. 

 

Musa in training with new team-mates

 

The Super Eagles of Nigeria forward is Leicester’s most recent addition, following the signings of Nampalys Mendy, Ron-Robert Zieler and Luis Hernandez, and speaking to Foxes Player HD out in Austria, the manager stressed that each player could bring something to the party. 

 

The manager who revealed that Ahmed Musa’s blistering pace, is the major reason he bought the winger who completed a club-record move to the Premier League champions from CSKA Moscow, said;

 

 

"Musa can bring his speed. I don’t know if he’s as quick as Jamie Vardy, but he has lots of speed. 

"It’s very important to have another airplane in our squad. Remember, we are the RAF and we’ve signed one of them!," the coach said.

 

The Foxes will begin their season against Manchester United in the FA Community Shield on August 7, 2016 and our very own Musa is expected to play and probably score on his debut for the club.

LAGOS SENATORS CONDEMN THREAT TO SENATOR TINUBU (APC- LAGOS CENTRAL)

We the two Senators representing Lagos East and Lagos West having reviewed the recent happenings in the hallowed Chamber of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, particularly at the executive session of 12th July, 2016 which dwelt on the running of the Senate and now in the public domain without any denial from the affected parties, feel compelled to state as follows:

1. We deplore in very strong terms the use of abusive, threatening, uncouth, vulgar and un-parliamentary language by ANY senator against any other senator, particularly our female colleagues.

2. As distinguished members of the Red Chamber, we are strongly in favour of resolving ANY conflict that has arisen in course of our representation and national duty through dialogue and due process and we will not be part of any solution obtained through any form of coercion, threat, intimidation and ungentlemanly conduct of the distinguished office of a senator.

3. We dissociate ourselves from the comments and behavior of Senator Dino Melaye (APC – Kogi West) at the Executive Session of 12th July 2016 as we represent people known for finer character and noble culture of social interaction.

4. We equally state that we will be part of efforts to instill and enshrine decorum and gentlemanly conduct associated with the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

5. While condemning the use of any vulgar and un-senatorial language in all ramifications, we particularly take offense to the use of such abusive and denigrating words against the person of Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC- Lagos Central).

6. Finally, pursuant to the threat of physical abuse against Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC- Lagos Central) by Senator Dino Melaye (APC- Kogi West), we state that we are not lily-livered and cannot be intimidated or deterred from our primary assignment of representing the good people of Lagos State and carrying out our National duties of law making, even if it entails testifying in court on the side of the truth as part of the resolution of any conflict in the upper chamber.

Signed:
Senator Bareehu Olugbenga Ashafa (APC- Lagos East)

New UK Prime Minister, Theresa May

 The new Prime Minister of Britain, Theresa May, after accepting her appointed has been pictured kneeling before Queen Elizabeth II.

Theresa May became Britain’s prime minister on Wednesday with the task of leading it out of the European Union, and quickly named leading ‘Brexit’ supporters including former London mayor Boris Johnson to key positions in her new government.

 

The former Conservative interior minister, 59, said after being appointed by Queen Elizabeth that she would champion social justice and carve out a bright new future for Britain after last month’s shock referendum vote to quit the EU.

 

“We will rise to the challenge. As we leave the European Union we will forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world, and we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us,” she said outside 10 Downing Street, vacated hours earlier by David Cameron.

 

Cameron stepped down after Britons rejected his entreaties to stay in the EU, a decision that has set back European efforts to forge greater unity and created huge uncertainty in Britain and across the 28-nation bloc.

 

May faced immediate pressure from EU leaders to serve formal notice of Britain’s withdrawal and set the clock ticking on a two-year countdown to its final departure.

 

In phone calls with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, May said she needed time.

“On all the phone calls, the prime minister emphasised her commitment to delivering the will of the British people to leave the European Union,” a spokeswoman for May said.

“The prime minister explained that we would need some time to prepare for these negotiations and spoke of her hope that these could be conducted in a constructive and positive spirit.”

 

Just over an hour after entering her new office, she started naming ministers, appointing the steady and experienced foreign minister Philip Hammond to take charge of the finance ministry.

 

He replaces George Osborne, whose determination to balance Britain’s books made him synonymous with austerity.

 

In a major surprise, May named Johnson, a leading eurosceptic who had until recently been seen as her main rival for the prime minister’s job, to take over as foreign secretary.

 

Other prominent ‘Leave’ campaigners were also rewarded. One, David Davis, took the key role of Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. Another, Liam Fox, was named to head a new international trade department.

 

May herself had sided with Cameron in trying to keep Britain inside the EU, so needed to reach out to the winning Leave side in order to heal divisions in the ruling party and show her commitment to respecting the popular vote. “Brexit means Brexit” has quickly become her new mantra.

 

By awarding such a senior job to Johnson, she also showed a conciliatory side.

 

The two had clashed over policing in London while Johnson was serving as mayor. And since last month’s vote, for which he campaigned vigorously, Johnson had suffered widespread criticism and ridicule for failing to present a clear Brexit plan and swiftly dropping out of the leadership race.

 

With his unkempt blonde hair, bumbling humour and penchant for Latin quotations, the man known to Britons simply as ‘Boris’ will be the government’s most colourful figure, but a controversial choice for conducting sensitive diplomacy with world leaders.

 

Asked by a reporter whether he would apologise to U.S. President Barack Obama for controversially saying the “part-Kenyan” president was biased against Britain because of “an ancestral dislike of the British empire”, Johnson said: “The United States of America will be in the front of the queue.”

 

The quip was a reference to a comment by Obama during Britain’s EU referendum campaign that the country would be at the back of the queue for trade deals if it voted to leave the bloc.

 

Among other appointments, rising star Amber Rudd switched from the energy ministry to take May’s old job as Home Secretary.

 

‘Burning injustice’

 

May is Queen Elizabeth’s 13th prime minister in a line that started with Winston Churchill. An official photograph showed her curtseying to the smiling monarch.

 

She is also Britain’s second female head of government after Margaret Thatcher.

 

Seen as a tough, competent and intensely private person, already being compared to Germany’s Angela Merkel, she must now try to limit the damage to British trade and investment as she renegotiates the country’s ties with its 27 EU partners. She will also attempt to unite a fractured nation in which many, on the evidence of the referendum, feel angry with the political elite and left behind by the forces of globalisation.

 

In comments addressed to ordinary Britons, she spoke of the ‘burning injustice’ suffered by large sections of society: poor people facing shorter life expectancy; blacks treated more harshly by the criminal justice system; women earning less than men; the mentally ill; and young people struggling to buy homes.

 

Acknowledging the struggles faced by many, May declared: “The government I lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few, but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives.”

 

She spoke of the “precious bond” between the nations of the United Kingdom, implicit recognition of the tensions generated by the referendum in which England and Wales chose to quit the EU, but Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay, raising the possibility of a new Scottish vote on independence.

 

Outside Downing Street, a group of demonstrators chanted: “What do we want? Brexit! When do we want it? Now!”

 

The United States congratulated May and said it was confident in her ability to steer Britain through the Brexit negotiations.

“Based on the public comments we’ve seen from the incoming prime minister, she intends to pursue a course that’s consistent with the prescription that President Obama has offered,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

 

May’s predecessor Cameron, appearing earlier in Downing Street with his wife Samantha and their three children, delivered his parting remarks to the nation after six years dominated by the Europe question and the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

 

“It’s not been an easy journey and of course we’ve not got every decision right,” he said, “but I do believe that today our country is much stronger.”

 

In his last parliamentary session as leader, Cameron took the opportunity to trumpet his government’s achievements in generating one of the fastest growth rates among western economies, chopping the budget deficit, creating 2.5 million jobs and legalising gay marriage.

 

Yet his legacy will be overshadowed by his failed referendum gamble, which he had hoped would keep Britain at the heart of a reformed EU.

How I Narrowly Escaped Being Infected With HIV By My Own Husband - Woman Shares Stunning Story

File photo used only for illustrative purpose

A woman has shared a stunning story telling how she managed to escape being infected by HIV from her own husband. 

The woman shared her story with online readers, explaining that although she had s*x with her husband who was HIV positive, she didn't contract the disease.

 

Below is how she put it:

 

***************************

 

Before my husband and I started dating, we had been good friends for about 2 years,

 

Then we started seeing each other and one thing led to another and we started having s*x. It was great and we were really in love with each other. Then he proposed to me, and of course, I said yes. This was in 2008. We got married that year.

 

My church requests would-be-couples to do medical screening and pregnancy test before you can be married. We did this and everything was fine, or so I thought. And behold two months after marriage, hubby became very sick and had to be admitted for about 2 months. Diagnosis showed HIV positive. My whole world fell apart, I did my own testing but came out negative.

 

I went alone to the doctor to ask my troubling questions, and tell him that we did the test together about 4 months back and we were negative, the doctor said either he just got infected or it was a false negative (maybe he was in his window period at the time). It was heartbreaking. We kept all this from family because believe me, the stigmatization of HIV is real.

 

And I was really shocked that he could be HIV positive and I was not even though we had had s*x many times.

 

My husband on the other hand didn’t believe it one bit, he said he is not HIV positive that something is wrong, that he is sure of himself. My husband is a very knowledgeable person and well read. We talked about it for many days and at the end of the day, a part of me believed that indeed maybe it is spiritual. Why am I then negative? Why 2 months after our successful wedding? Maybe it is just a temptation. What do I do now? Who do I talk to that will not laugh at me. Only God. I put everything in the hands of God, and started praying harder than before.

 

He became well and resumed work to the glory of God. He kept saying he didn’t cheat on me and he didn’t have HIV. I even begged him to tell me the truth, that I will stand with him no matter what. I was so hurt that I told myself I will never have s*x with him again. He respected it, he respects me so much. He was a good man.

 

Then one day I was so horny, I couldnt bear it anymore, I went to buy a pack of condoms after talking to my doctor. We started making love with condoms. But there were few times, body no be firewood, before I could can pick a condom from the bedside drawer, we would make love without it. This was our marriage for 3 years.

 

Hmmn, then in 2011, hubby became sick again. He was adamant to go to the hospital, he said he was tired of doctors telling him he has HIV when he knows he didn’t. I talked and talked. Hubby’s family thought I was a bad woman and I wasn’t taking good care of him. He went from cough, to rashes, to pneumonia and eventually to death. I though the pressure of running around prevented my period from showing for up to 4 months. I didnt know I was pregnant. The last time we made love before he got sick was when I conceived. Hubby died when I was 6 months pregnant. He knew he was going to be a father. All my ante-natal screening was negative to HIV. I had our son vaginally 3 months after he died, a healthy baby in 2011 (4years now). I am telling this story to those women who think HIV (or any STD) is for some people or status, to marry God fearing men who would not jeopardize your future for few seconds of pleasure.

 

I have been there and have experienced it first hand. By Gods grace, I am working and can provide basic needs for my son and I. 4 years gone by, and it is still hard to trust another man. Like my doctor said, I was one of the lucky ones, I came out unscathed.

 

Do not cheat or condone cheating. Staying with a cheat is like been in the war front, it’s only a matter of time. You deserve better. We all deserve better. God bless you.

Jos Zoo: Escaped Chimpanzee "Jack" Returns to Its Cage....Read How It Happened (Photos)

The Chimpanzees

A Chimpanzee that escaped from its confinement in a Jos zoo has reportedly return on its own accord after failed attempts to capture it by zoo officials. 

Early hours of Tuesday 12th of July, 2016 two Chimpanzees from the Jos Zoo situated at the National Museum and Monument escaped their cage harassing passersby at the Museum premises.

One of the Chimps returned to its cage leaving ‘Jack’ as the Chimpanzee is called running around before leaving the zoo premises to West of Mines neighborhood close to the zoo.

The frightening animal finds refuge on a tree in a residential compound after injuring a zoo worker who tried to capture it. The worker was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital.

 

 

 

Men of the Plateau State Fire Service were called to capture it using water canon which failed. The three branch he was perched on was cut down and it fell then disappeared into the thick bushes close to the zoo.

Jack however returned to its cage this morning tired and hungry with bruises all over its body including a missing finger nail. It was gathered that the two Chimpanzees were able to escape by repeatedly hitting their cage which was weak as a result of rust. A welder was seen at this afternoon welding the weak parts of the cage.

A source disclosed to us that this is not the first time they were able to escape however it was the first time it attracted attention from the general public.

The visibly exhausted animal can be seen relaxing and eating its favorite meal of Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Cucumber and Garden Eggs.

All efforts to get the officials of the Museum to comment proof abortive and the authority of the national establishment is yet to issue any formal statement on the incident.
