Niger Delta Stakeholders Present 16-Point Demands To President Buhari

stakeholders in the Niger Delta region on Tuesday presented a 16-point demand to President Muhammadu Buhari on issues that bordered on the socio-economic development, security and restoration of peace in the region.

Chief Alfred Diete-Spiff, the Chairman of Bayelsa State Traditional Rulers’ Council, confirmed this development to State House correspondents in Abuja after the meeting between Buhari and stakeholders from the Niger Delta region.

According to him, the demands include the need to fast-track interventions on some of the  regional infrastructure, Presidential Amnesty programme, law and justice issues and the effect of increased military presence in the Niger Delta.

He said that the plight of Internally Displaced Persons, the Ogoni Clean-up and Environmental Remediation, the issue of Maritime University, Okerenkoko, and security surveillance and protection of oil and gas infrastructure were part of the demands.

Diete-Spiff said the stakeholders also presented the issues of the relocation of administrative and operational headquarters of oil companies to the region, power supply, inclusive participation in oil industry and ownership.

A big, dirty secret from Donald Trump’s tax returns has been exposed

Unlike past presidential nominees, Donald Trump has declined to release his complete tax returns, which has fostered fervid speculation about what they might contain — especially since the New York Times published a few pages from Trump's 1995 tax documents last month.

Those documents suggested that the Republican nominee could have avoided paying taxes on as much as $916 million in income. The question was how he could do so legally. Experts had put forward a range of intricate theories, but according to new documents disclosed by the Times on Monday, there is a simple explanation for how Trump sheltered the bulk of that money.

“He made it up,” said Edward Kleinbard, a legal scholar at the University of Southern California. Experts had missed Trump's maneuver, Kleinbard said, because they did not think that it would have been allowed at the time.

British banker who killed two Hong Kong prostitutes had sex with transsexuals, surfed gay websites for black men and told bosses he had HIV to justify time off work

Double killer Rurik Jutting had sex with transsexuals and searched for sex with other men as his life spiralled out of control from taking drugs and watching violent pornography, a court heard today.

The British banker even lied to his employers he was HIV positive after missing so much work because of his drug use and addiction to prostitutes.

Jutting surfed the gay website Grindr looking for black men to have sex with, his lawyer Tim Owen QC told the court.

He also had encounters with two transsexuals as well as numerous prostitutes while high on drink and drugs.

British banker Rurik Jutting, 31, pictured in 2014, has pleaded not guilty to the murders of two Indonesian sex workers

Jutting was charged with the murders of Sumarti Ningsih (left) and Seneng Mujiasih (right), whose bodies were found in his upmarket apartment near Hong Kong's red-light district

A court in Hong Kong was told in the two weeks before killing two prostitutes in October 2014 he had failed to turn up for work as he took cocaine and met prostitutes.

The sordid sex life of the Cambridge educated banker was detailed by a top psychiatrist from Broadmoor Hospital for the criminally insane who talked about his lengthy interviews with Jutting in prison.

Professor Derek Perkins spent 15 hours with Jutting earlier this year talking about his early life, work and the death of the prostitutes.

Jutting opened up about his life and how it had spiralled out of control leading to the murder of two Indonesian prostitutes in October 2014.

Jutting, who has admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but denied murder, told Professor Perkins he wanted 'new experiences'.

The court has previously heard from UK based psychologist Dr Richard Latham that Jutting suffered from narcissistic personality disorder and sexual sadism disorder.

He had also been abused as a boy at top public school Winchester College and witnessed his father attempt suicide.

The court has been told Jutting was addicted to cocaine and violent pornography and tortured his first victim Sumarti Ningsih, 23, for three days before slitting her throat.

His second victim, 26-year-old Seneng Mujiasih, died after she tried to flee from his luxury high rise flat in Hong Kong.

A £350,000 a year highflying advisor with Bank of America Merrill Lynch he called police from his flat to confess.

Half of Russians fear Syria could spark WWIII

Moscow (AFP) - Nearly half of Russians fear that Moscow's bombing campaign in Syria could spark World War III, a poll showed Monday.

Moscow, an ally of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, has been staging bombing raids in Syria since September 2015.

Forty-eight percent of Russians were concerned that "heightened tensions in relations between Russia and the West could grow into World War III," according to a poll conducted by independent pollster Levada Centre last week.

That figure was up from 29 percent in July this year.

Why DO so many young people say they're bisexual? Honest? Confused? Influenced by celebrities? We talk to three youngsters - and their (somewhat bemused) parents

Shannon Scrivens can remember every detail of her first sexual encounter with another woman: the vodka she had beforehand to release her inhibitions; the smell of jasmine perfume; the David Bowie album that played in the background.

She describes the moment afterwards when, hurriedly putting her clothes back on before her mother returned from work, she and her female friend agreed what had happened would not ruin their otherwise platonic relationship.

But what 18-year-old Shannon isn’t as clear about is whether she actually enjoyed the experience. ‘It was disappointing because I think my feelings towards women are romantic, rather than sexual,’ she says. ‘But I am still attracted to both sexes and would describe myself as bi.’

As confusing as this might sound to some — and at times when discussing her sexuality Shannon herself sounds confused — she is far from alone. According to recent figures from the Office for National Statistics, the number of British people defining themselves as bisexual has risen 45 per cent in just three years.

This alleged increase is most notable in the young — for the first time, more 16 to 24-year-olds describe themselves as bisexual than those who say they are gay or lesbian combined. A survey by YouGov last year found that half of young people declared themselves as something other than 100 per cent heterosexual.

So what has sparked this staggering shift in the sexual tastes of our younger generation? Can half of all young people really be sexually fluid? Or are they simply labelling themselves bisexual in order to fit in with what is undoubtedly a fashionable trend?

One glance at the growing list of young celebrities who claim to be attracted to both sexes would certainly help explain this seismic shift in sexual attitudes.

Thousands protest in South Korea, demand president quit over scandal

Thousands of South Koreans rallied in Seoul on Saturday demanding the resignation of President Park Geun-hye, as a crisis deepened over allegations a friend exerted inappropriate influence over her and interfered in state affairs.

The street protest came as prosecutors investigate presidential aides and other officials to determine whether they broke the law to allow Park's friend, Choi Soon-sil, to wield undue influence and gain financially.

Angry Koreans say Park betrayed public trust and mismanaged the government, and has lost a mandate to lead the country.

"She must step down," Lee Jae-myung, mayor of Seongnam city south of Seoul and a vocal critic of the government, said to a loud cheer from the crowd. "If Park Geun-hye is no longer president, will our lives be any worse off and will the tension with North Korea be any worse?" he asked the crowd, which responded "No!"

About 8,000 people attended the rally, according to police, organized by a group of left-leaning civic groups. Organizers said up to 30,000 people took part in the march through the capital.

"It's become clear the people made a wrong decision and picked a wrong president," Jeong Hong-woo, 22, told Reuters at the rally.

Venezuelan President threatens to jail political opponents if they call for his removal

Venezuela President, Nicolas Maduro has threatened to jail his political opponents if they call for trial to remove him from Power.

This came after opposition leaders and hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets on Wednesday to protest against the president, as the country’s economic crisis continues to deepen food and medicine shortages, prompting opposition lawmakers to threaten to put the President on trial for violating democracy.

Reacting to the lawmaker’s threat, the President in a statement vowed to respond forcefully by jailing his political opponents if they make a move to call for his removal.

'If they launch a supposed political trial, which is not in our constitution, the state prosecution service must bring legal action in the courts and put in jail anyone who violates the constitution, even if they are members of Congress.'

Celine Dion Shares Rare Pic Of Her Three Sons

Katy Perry may have stolen the show at Kate Hudson's Halloween party last night with her Hillary Clinton costume, but she wasn't the only famous face there! We spotted Jessica Alba, Kendall Jenner, Nicole Richie, Emma Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and tons of other stars rolling up to the party, and some of them went all out with sexy and spooky outfits. Kendall had just attended sister Kylie's Halloween bash, so she was really cramming in the events last night! Emma was nearly unrecognizable as a skeleton, while Gwyneth opted to hide under her cowgirl hat when we caught her with steady beau Brad Falchauk. We also caught Sacha Baron Cohen in a cow costume, and Nicole Richie's costume was pretty fab as well, though it doesn't appear as though the tiger in her trio is hubby Joel Madden. Or is it? We can't really tell from the face paint. 

BRUNO MARS You Jacked Our Jam ... NOW WE'RE GONNA FUNK YOU UP!!!

Bruno Mars' monster hit "Uptown Funk"  is a thinly-veiled replica of a groovy tune back in the day ... and now the OG band is out for blood in court.

Mars and "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson are among many names listed in a lawsuit filed by members from the music group, Collage.  The band released a single in 1983 called "Young Girls" and claim Bruno's Billboard #1 is a dead-on copy in rhythm, harmony, melody and structure.

Clinton campaign condemns FBI email move

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign team has challenged the FBI over its decision to brief US lawmakers on a new inquiry into the Democratic candidate's email use.

FBI Director James Comey informed Congress of the move in a letter on Friday, 11 days before the election.

Mrs Clinton told supporters the move was "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling".

But Republican opponent Donald Trump has praised the bureau's decision.

In his letter to Congress, Mr Comey said the FBI had learned of fresh emails which might be "pertinent" to its previous inquiry into the Democratic candidate's use of a private server when she was secretary of state in the Obama administration.

Mr Comey has defended the move, insisting that not making it public would be "misleading" and also risked being "misunderstood", given that the FBI does not know the significance of the newly found emails.

• How damaging is this for Clinton?

• Anthony Weiner: Behind the scenes of a political marriage

Speaking to supporters in Florida on Saturday, Mrs Clinton said: "It's not just strange, it's unprecedented. And it is deeply troubling because voters deserve to get full and complete facts.

Filipino president vows to stop swearing

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has promised to stop swearing, saying God spoke to him on a flight from Japan on Thursday, warning him the plane would crash if he kept using bad language.

The maverick former mayor, famous for profanity that has included outbursts aimed at Pope Francis and US President Barack Obama, said he heard a voice and realised it was God, telling him to clean up his act.

"I was looking at the skies while I was coming over here ... everybody was asleep, snoring, but a voice said that, 'you know, if you don't stop epithets, I will bring this plane down now'," Duterte said at a news conference late on Thursday upon arrival in his home city of Davao.

"And I said, 'who is this?' So, of course, it's God. OK.

Teenager Sues Media Outlets for Making Fun of His Mullet

One image poking fun of the look shows people using Mosslmani’s head for a game of pin the tail on the donkey. Another meme turned him into the star of the movie Joe Dirt. He’s also been placed on the dollar bill and the Australian 20-cent coin. And there’s a My Little Pony ad featuring multiple Mosslmani heads.

A handful of publications jumped on the bandwagon, but the butt of the joke is not laughing.

Ali Mosslmani’s mullet is not here for your entertainment, people.

The Australian teenager’s hairdo recently inspired a series of memes — and he’s not happy about it. Apparently, this isn’t the type of attention he was going for when he got such a bold haircut.

The ’do is shaved on the sides and top, with long, luscious hair in the back. The photo was taken at an 18th birthday party. It blew up over the summer, receiving more than 11,415 comments, almost 10,000 likes, and more than 1.7 million views within one week

Mosslmani, known as “Ziggy,” filed defamation suits against the Daily Mail, Sydney’s Daily Telegraph and the Australian Radio Network for publishing the photograph and making fun of his unique haircut, according to Mashable.

Clinton calls on FBI to 'immediately' release information on renewed email probe

Hillary Clinton implored the FBI on Friday evening to release information on its review of newly discovered documents "pertinent" to the probe into her use of a private email server.

“The American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately,” Clinton told reporters before taking questions.

Earlier in the day, FBI Director James Comey sent a vague letter to congressional leaders notifying them that the bureau was again actively investigating Clinton’s use of a private server after discovering new documents “pertinent to the investigation.”

Clinton said she learned of the news from media reports and had not “been contacted by anyone” from the FBI. 

The Democratic nominee added that she was "confident" the new emails would not change the results of the FBI's initial conclusion. The bureau declined to recommend charges against her in July, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the case was closed.

Arsenal and Chelsea both ready to pinch Sergio Aguero?

Premier League big boys are hoping to jump on any uncertainty surrounding Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, reports Spanish outlet Don Balon.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all reportedly eyeing up the Argentine hitman, following an alleged falling out with Pep Guardiola.

Aguero was only a substitute against Barcelona in the Champions League last week, then again against Everton at the weekend.

Real Madrid are also mentioned as long-time admirers - although they are banned from making transfers until 2018 - while Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain complete the list of potential suitors.

6yr old Effiong lived in the bush for one year to avoid 'witch killers' in Akwa Ibom

Thousands of stigmatized 'Witch Children' have found refuge at CRARN center, in Akwa Ibom. The children were branded as "witches" by church ministers and have been cast out by their families and shunned by society.

One of them is six-year-old Israel Effiong, from Ikot Uso Ekong, Eket, who was accused of being responsible for his father's illness. Fearing for his life, he ran away and hid in a bush for a year before he was rescued by Edoho,a volunteer with the organisation. 

Lawyer says U.S. Supreme Justice Thomas groped her in 1999

A woman who works as a corporate lawyer with an Alaska energy company has accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of groping her in 1999, a charge he called "preposterous" and untrue.

The woman, Moira Smith, said Thomas grabbed and squeezed her buttocks several times during a dinner party when she was 23 years old in the Falls Church, Virginia home of her boss at the time, the National Law Journal reported on Thursday.

Thomas, 68, joined the high court in 1991 after contentious Senate confirmation hearings involving sexual harassment allegations against him made by another female lawyer, Anita Hill.

Smith, currently vice president and general counsel at Enstar Natural Gas Co in Alaska, released a statement in which she said Thomas "touched me inappropriately and without my consent." Laura Fink, a political consultant in San Diego acting as Smith's spokeswoman, said the National Law Journal's account of the allegations was accurate.

Thomas, in a statement to the National Law Journal, said, "The claim is preposterous and it never happened."

A Supreme Court spokesman declined to comment on Thomas' behalf. Reuters was not able to independently verify Smith's accusations.
