Timaya-300x276
Rave of the moment and Ukwu master, Timaya has disclosed why he is not educated.
While making an open confession during his performance at the star music trek over the weekend in Uyo, he revealed that he gave up when he scored 17 in the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams.
“Education is not for me, it is important, yes, but not for me. I scored 17 in JAMB, that’s when I gave up. I don’t have the brain for education”
Although, he says education is not for him, the Nigerian music star Timaya is advising youth who have passion for it, to stay in school.
“But for those of you who have the brain for education, please do it, its good.” he said.

Pistorius "using emotions as an escape", prosecutor says

* Prosecutor loses patience with repeated bouts of tears
* Sprinter faces life in prison if convicted of murder
* Ruthless cross-examination going into fifth day
By Helen Nyambura-Mwaura
PRETORIA, April 14 (Reuters) - The prosecutor in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial on Monday accused the track star of using motional breakdowns under cross-examination to evade answering questions about the night he killed his girlfriend.
The Olympic and Paralympic sprinter, who faces life in prison if convicted of murdering Reeva Steenkamp, says he shot the 29-year-old model in a tragic accident, firing at what he thought was an intruder hiding behind a locked toilet door.
The athlete has broken down numerous times during the 22-day trial, including retching into a bucket. He burst into tears again on Monday morning when recounting the moment he screamed at what he thought was a burglar, prompting the judge to call a 30-minute adjournment.
"Get the fuck out of my house! Get the fuck out of my house!" a trembling Pistorius said when asked to state precisely what he screamed at the perceived intruder.
He then burst into tears as family members in the public gallery rushed to comfort him

Towards the end of the day, he again began to cry when answering questions about the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel, whose reputation as one of South Africa's toughest attorneys has earned him the nickname 'The Pitbull', said the athlete was just putting on an act to avoid having to answer his questions.
Nel questioned why Pistorius would get upset when being asked about whether he did or did not open doors leading from his bedroom to a balcony to shout for help minutes after the shooting.
"I cannot see how that can cause you to be emotional because you cannot remember how to open a door. We're not talking about Reeva," Nel said, referring to previous breakdowns, which have usually been when he describes the shooting.
"You're not using your emotional state as an escape are you?" Nel said, raising his eyebrows and shaking his head.
The murder trial has captivated South Africa and millions of athletics fans around the world who viewed Pistorius, known as the 'Blade Runner' because of the carbon-fibre prosthetics he uses on the track, as a symbol of triumph over adversity.
His disabled lower legs were amputated as a baby but he went on to achieve global fame, winning Paralympic gold medals and reaching the semi-finals of the 400 metres in the 2012 London Olympics against able-bodied athletes. (Writing by Joe Brock; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended a 20-year-old man, Ngwuta Nweke, for allegedly killing his friend in their apartment in the Sawmill area of Ebute Meta.
Police say the suspect strangled Emeka James during an argument over a cooking pot on March 22, 2014.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said:
“On the fateful day, around 12.30pm, Nweke strangled James who lived in an apartment at Kadara slum, close to Sawmill, Ebute Meta, during a fight over a cooking pot.
“The corpse has been deposited at the Mainland Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, while the matter is under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.”
The suspect, however, told the police that he did not mean to kill his friend, but only strangled him in a bid to overpower him in a free fight.


He said:
 “James is the owner of the apartment, I only started living with him about a month before the incident. I sell fuel pump for a living at Idumota and I did not have the money to secure an accommodation so James took me in.
“On the day of the incident, I had some stew in a pot and James told me to empty the pot because he wanted to make use of it. I told him that I could not pour the stew anywhere and he should be patient, but he got angry.
“In a fit of rage, he picked up the pot and poured the stew into a dirty container. I also got angry and we started fighting.
“I grabbed him from behind and as we were struggling, we both fell to the ground. When I got up, I realised that James was no longer breathing.”

It was learnt that the deceased was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
The matter would soon be charged to court.

Gumsu Abacha rants on twitter as her brother is charged with stealing N446bn

A few hours after it was revealed that her brother Mohammed Abacha is facing fresh criminal lawsuit from the Federal Government for unlawfully taking N446.3billion stolen from government’s treasury between 1995 and 1998, his sister, Gumsu Abacha took to Twitter to cuss people out! Tweets below...

Read the report against Mohammed, eldest son of late former military dictator, General Sani Abacha, after the cut...


From Sahara Reporters

The latest lawsuit follows a decision by the Nigerian Supreme Court in January ordering the Nigerian government to file fresh charges against the dictator’s son. Also, the US Government recently froze assets belonging to the late dictator through its kleptocracy initiative.

In the nine-count charge filed by private prosecutor, Daniel Enwelum upon a fiat dated  February 18th, 2014 by Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, the government accused Mohammed of “dishonestly receiving stolen property” and “voluntarily assisting in concealing money.”

This fresh charge substitutes an earlier 121-count filed against Mohammed and Atiku Bagudu — the late ruler’s ally. However, Bagudu was excluded from the fresh charge.

According to a new charge, dated March   24th, 2014, Mohammed hid £141,100,000 $384,353,000 in cash and travellers cheques.
Mohammed, in Count One, is alleged to have dishonestly received between August and December 1995 in Abuja, $36,480,000.00 made up of cash and travellers’ cheques — property of the Federal Government — believed to have been stolen.

In Count Two, he is alleged, between August and December 1995 in Abuja, to have voluntarily assisted in concealing $57,960,000.00 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.
In another count, he was accused of receiving $26,913,500.00 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government, between October and December 1996.

He was also accused, within the same time, of voluntarily assisting in concealing $26,913,500.00 allegedly stolen from the Federal Government. Also in June 1997 in Abuja, he allegedly dishonestly received $10,000,000.00 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.

Count Six accused him of dishonestly receiving, between February and December 1997, $87,000,000 and £41,143,000 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.

Two other counts accused Mohammed of voluntarily assisting in concealing the amounts mentioned in count six, and dishonestly receiving (between January and August 1998), $167,000,000 and £99,957,000 believed to have been stolen from the Federal Government.

The alleged offences are punishable under sections 317 and 319 of the Penal Code.
Mohammed was to be arraigned on Thursday before Justice Mamman Kolo of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, but the accused was absent in court.

Nevertheless, Enwelum notified the judge of Mohammed’s unwillingness to turn up in court, despite having been served with the charge and with evidence to that effect in a an affidavit sworn to by bailiff of the court

He urged the court to accept the fresh charge and consider the receipt of the charge by the defence lawyer, Abdulllahi Haruna, as an appropriate service.

Haruna defended Mohammed’s absence, saying he was unaware of the new charge and imploring the court to adjourn the case to a further date to so that the accused would be present in court.
Justice Kolo accepted the amended charge, also granting an order discharging Bagudu from the charge.

He adjourned the hearing to 29th April 2014.

Adesanmoye Kehinde, a senior official of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Ikotun Lagos branch, has been arrested and dragged before the Ejigbo Magistrate Court in Lagos for allegedly setting his lover, Janet, 31, ablaze after she called off their relationship.
 
Kehinde, 43, who is married with three children, had been dating Delta state born Janet for a while and was planning marry her. Janet however decided to call the affair off because she felt Kehinde was too troublesome. Continue...
 
According to Janet who testified in court today, Kehinde had threatened to deal with her but she didn't take his threats seriously. He however carried out his threat by setting her ablaze at Ikotun Roundabout while she was on her way to a friend's house. She said unknown to her, Kehinde had trailed her as she left her house on Olaoluwa Street in Abaranje, Ikotun, poured petrol on her and then set her ablaze. She suffered major burns and injuries and is still in a critical condition.
 
Kehinde was later arrested and charged to court on a two-count charge under Sections 243 and 244 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011. When the charge was read to him today in court, he pleaded not guilty. He was however granted bail by the court but could not meet up with the bail conditions. The case was adjourned to May 15 2015.

Nigeria Under Threat Of Deadly Ebola Virus-FG(Plus Symptoms And Prevention)

The Federal Government on Wednesday admitted that Nigeria was in danger with the rate at which the Ebola virus had been moving eastward towards the country.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, raised the alarm while answering questions from State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Chukwu reiterated that the threat being posed by the Ebola virus was real.
He said although Nigeria had not reported any case of the disease, the National Centre for Disease Control would soon produce jingles in various languages to sensitise Nigerians to the threat posed by the virus, which currently has no vaccine and treatment.

The minister warned Nigerians not to wait for three days as customary of malaria fever before seeking medical attention, saying such a period was enough for an infected person to die.

He said,
 “Ebola has been moving eastward towards Nigeria as well and we are already facing danger from the Central African Republic, even with what is happening in Congo, people are also migrating to Chad and Cameroon are also in our borders.
“So, Nigeria is in danger but we have recently said that in addition to the leaflets that we are producing for Lassa and other fevers, we will now emphasise Ebola fever.
“As I speak to you, we have already approved four jingles to be produced in various languages for the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control to be aired on radio and television stations and newspaper adverts.
“Then we are working with all groups, just like we are doing for polio. Religious bodies, communities, traditional rulers and the media which is most important in this venture will help us to play your role by educating Nigerians.
“There is no vaccine, so it is not a question of government has not produced vaccines for Ebola or Lassa fever. If there was vaccine, government will certainly buy a stock and keep; and there is no specific treatment.”

The minister explained that while a special type of rat spreads infection for Lassa fever, bats, he said, were responsible for Ebola.

He said one could be infected by eating fruits that had been contaminated with the virus by bats.

Chukwu urged Nigerians to apply personal hygiene.

“We will soon review our adverts for things like anti-malaria because they still say if you have fever, take this for three days, if you don’t improve go and see your doctor. But we are changing all that because now if you wait three days for Ebola, you are dead,” he said.

Signs and symptoms of Ebola virus disease
EVD is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes.

 The following precautions can help prevent infection and spread of Ebola

  • Avoid traveling to areas of known outbreaks. 
  • Wash your hands frequently. As with other infectious diseases, one of the most important preventive measures for Ebola virus and Marburg virus is frequent hand-washing. Use soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol when soap and water aren't available.
  • Avoid bush meat. In developing countries, wild animals, including nonhuman primates, are sold in local markets. Avoid buying or eating any of these animals.
  • Avoid contact with infected people. In particular, caregivers should avoid contact with the person's body fluids and tissues, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions and saliva. People with Ebola are most contagious in the later stages of the disease.

There you have it people, please be very careful.

Rihanna Takes Her Nudity To Whole New Level, Exposes Full Derriere In Racy Poses For French Magazine(18+ Photos)

We all know how Rihanna loves to get naked and expose her body as seen in her racy instagram snaps and photos.
So it came as no surprise when the 26 year old Bajan star was pictured exposing her derriere in all its glory during a steamy photo shoot on a balcony in West Hollywood yesterday.
Rihanna was posing for a French magazine wearing only a skimpy white, short-cropped top and no bikini bottoms.

The 26-year-old Barbadian beauty arrived on the set wearing a black robe but took it off once she arrived the balcony set.
Then, wearing just that top and no bottoms, Rihanna crouched down on hands and knees and raised her rump high in the air, her feet still clad in white trainers.
Through out the shoot, an assistant-a man-poured water down her back to give her skin a silky sheen as Rihanna waited, poised in her position.
In fact regardless of Riri's exposed behind during the 2 hour or more shoot, it appeared all but one of the crew members tending to her were men.
Its amazing to see their level professionalism with a butt naked woman, posing the way Rihanna did during the shoot. But what will be going on in their minds I'm sure is a different ball game all together...lool.
