Niger Troops Sent To 'Crush' Boko Haram

Parliament unanimously approves deployment of troops as part of a regional offensive against armed group.


Niger's parliament has voted unanimously to send troops to Nigeria to join a regional fight against the armed Boko Haram group.
The announcement late on Monday night came a day after a senior Nigerian official said Abuja's government would "take out" all of the group's camps by March 28 - the new date for the country's elections which have been delayed by six weeks.
Niger, while housing thousands of refugees who fled from the conflict, had been mainly spared the violence until last week, with a number of attacks carried out on its territory in recent days.
"The pooling of the efforts and resources of concerned countries will contribute without doubt to crushing this group which shows scorn, through its barbaric acts, for the Muslim religion," Niger National Assembly President Adamou Salifou said after the vote, according to the AFP news agency.
Another member of parliament said the resolution authorised the country to send some 750 troops to Nigeria.

Samsung reportedly sold 4 million fewer Galaxy S5s than Galaxy S4s

source: engadget

There's been a few signs that not all is well in Samsung's mobile division, with the company pledging to make fewer new devices, as well as its chief taking a pay cut. If the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, the cause of this unrest is all down to faltering sales of the Galaxy S5, which has apparently sold four million fewer phones than its predecessor. According to the report, the company is still riding high in the US, but saw sales in China drop by 50 percent compared to the Galaxy S4. Considering that Samsung was so confident that the device would be a blockbuster that it increased production by 20 percent, it could now have as many a four million unsold devices sitting in warehouses. The paper's sources believe that the drops will trigger a leadership re-shuffle, with mobile chief JK Shin getting pushed, with his duties handed over to TV & home appliance chief BK Yoon.

The Truth About Your Ego: Why We’re So Resistant To Change


 Source: Lantern

Let’s face it. Our biggest obstacle to change is what’s staring back at us in the mirror. And main force that feeds us misinformation and prevents us from changing is our egos. The ego is where Steven Pressfield’s “Resistance” and Seth Godin’s “lizard brain” reside. Your ego that tells you that we’re not worthy or less than. Your ego is the factory where narrative fallacies are manufactured, preventing you from doing what comes first in creating change: confronting reality.

Photos>>Woman walks naked around New York and most people didn't even notice

As part of a social experiment by Model Prankster, model Leah Jung paraded around the streets of New York completely naked...with only a realistic-looking pair of jeans painted on her, complete with stitching and on-trend patches, making it look like she's actually wearing jeans...but nobody even noticed she was naked.

The video, which was posted online last week has gone viral with millions of views. Model Praksters said did the experiment to determine how observant people of New York City are. They are apparently not very observant as 90% of the people who walked past Leah didn't even notice she was naked. See the photos after the cut...

PHOTOS>Unbelievable! 8 months pregnant athlete runs 800 meters race

preg1 
 American athlete, Alysia Montano put aside the fact that she was carrying an 8-month pregnancy and ran 800 meters in the US Track and Fields Championships yesterday. Montano, a 5-time national champion, finished the race in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds in the qualifying rounds, barely seven weeks before she’s due to give birth to her first child. The 28-year-old, who is a former University of California star, finished last in her heat but that didn’t matter to the crowd gathered at the Hornet Stadium. Trailing the lead pack by more than 120 meters for most of the race, Montano received a rousing ovation as she finished her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line.

“I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process,” She said. “I just didn’t want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800.”
Montano, who won the 800 national titles the past four years, was never in trouble of being lapped. She took a nice relaxed pace from the start and maintained it throughout.
That was according to the plan Montano laid out after consulting with her physician. Not only did doctors give Montano the OK to run, they encouraged her.

Laugh It Off

Lol....

Shocking: 9-year-old girl stabs a 5-year-old to death in Bayelsa

An unidentified 9-year-old girl is said to have stabbed a child of 5 after the duo had a disagreement.
The older child is now being held at the Akenfa Police Station in Yenagoa, the state capital.

According to Nigerian Eye 
The reasons for the killing are still sketchy, however, sources from the area gave two different versions.
The first version, according to a source who craved anonymity, was that the suspect was under witchcraft attack.
He said, “The suspect is possessed. She is under witchcraft attack. Imagine a very small girl using knife to attack a playmate. The two children were playing when disagreement occured. The nine-year-old, just went for a knife and stabbed the five-year-old three times.
“When the suspect noticed her victim was bleeding profusely, she attempted to run. Unknown to her that some residents had heard when the small girl was crying for help. They quickly ran to the scene to see if the five year old could be revived. On getting there, the poor girl had died.”

Man Arrested For Punching Woman in the Face in Whataburger Drive-Thru

A Corpus Christi, Texas, man was arrested Monday evening after he punched a woman for the apparently egregious sin of blocking his way through the Whataburger drive-thru.
57-year-old Robert Thomas (pictured above, and boy, doesn't he look friendly!) apparently became quite irate when a 27-year-old woman blocked his truck in the drive-thru. So he did what any sane, reasonable human being would do and got out of his car to bang on her window with his fist (it's possible I have the words "sane" and "reasonable" mixed up with other words). When the victim got out of the car, Thomas punched her right in the goddamn face, because apparently he is the Incredible Hulk (also, because he's a violent lunatic).
Needless to say, police were called and Thomas was charged with aggravated assault, as well as the less-official charge of "being a fuckhead who will hopefully get tossed in jail for a long-ass time." He's now potentially facing 20 years in prison plus a $10,000 fine. The woman, meanwhile, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries to her head.
The really screwed-up thing (OK, one of them) is that this isn't the first time this has happened in the last three months — in April, Florida Man (TM)* punched a woman at a McDonald's in almost an identical situation. Make of that what you will, but as far as I'm concerned, one instance of this in a year is too many, and two is more than slightly disturbing.

Ritualists’ Den Owned By A Pastor Uncovered In Lagos, 8 Kidnapped Victims Were Rescued

A ritualist den owned by one pastor Ernest Nwankwo, the General Overseer of Holy Family Ministry a.k.a House of Mercy was yesterday June 25th uncovered at Ogolonto area in Ikorodu, Lagos, with 8 victims rescued.


According to Vanguard 
 
The den was discovered after a failed attempt by a woman identified as Mrs Rosemary Chukwu, a member of Pastor Nwankwo's church, to kidnap her neighbor's 7 year old son, Emeka Emmanuel to the den for rituals.

Sources in the area said around 6.30 am yesterday, Mrs Chukwu lured the little boy who was on his way to fetch water from a well down the road and took him to her house where she locked him in the toilet. To keep her neighbors from hearing the little boy's screams for help, Chukwu then instructed her own children to begin a prayer session which they did, shouting on top of their voices. 
 
Trouble however started when the boy's mother who stays four buildings from Mrs Chukwu raised alarm after she could not find her son. A search for the young boy began which Mrs Chukwu also partook in. Minutes into the search, Mrs Chukwu was said to have excused herself, went into her house and then came out with a box on her head, saying she was travelling. Suspecting foul play, some of the area boys instructed her to put down the suitcase which was opened and the unconscious body of the 7 year old boy was discovered.

21 confirmed dead, 17 Injured In Emab Plaza Abuja Bombing

The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, has confirmed that 21 people died this afternoon when a bomb went off at the very busy Emab Plaza in Wuse 2, Abuja. He also confirmed that 17 people were seriously injured and have been taken to Maitama District Hospital,  Gwarimpa hospital, Wuse hospital, Garki hospital and National hospital.

Mr Mba said one suspect has been arrested and investigations have already started. The bomb is said to have gone off in a car as it passed through the gate of the mall around 4 this afternoon. The fire that followed the explosion is said to have engulfed most of the cars parked around the mall.  

Security Forces have condoned off the scene of the blast, while the Police Bomb Disposal Squad has commenced post-blast analysis as part of the general investigative process, according to a statement.


The attack is believed to have been carried out by a suicide bomber though there are other conflicting reports from some eye-witnesses that a man on a bike threw the explosive and sped off. Though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, we all can kinda guess.

Nigerian Military Issues Red Alert - The Nation

According to sahara reporters

Military officers and men were placed on red alert yesterday — no thanks to the increasingly daring moves of the deadly Boko Haram sect.
Fears of likely infiltration or inducement of officers and men have made the military hierarchy to recall those on leave, The Nation learnt.
Besides, the military has placed restrictions on Facebook networking by officers and other ranks.
Military personnel have also been stopped from taking annual leave or travelling out of their official postings.
All those who were earlier granted leave of absence have been ordered back to their duty posts.
The directive may have caused apprehension in the system, but a source said it was nothing to worry about.
Another source said placing all units and commands on the red alert was to eradicate “threats in the system”.
A “red alert” is issued when there are reasons to believe there will be a major security risk.


Ekiti election was fraudulent-Aregbesola


Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has said that the All Progressives Congress lost the Ekiti State governorship polls due to fraud but maintained that it was impossible to rig him out in the August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun.
The governor spoke in Ikirun on Tuesday during the continuation of his campaign which was held in the town.
Aregbesola, who was obviously excited by the large turnout of his supporters at the campaign, said that it was impossible to oust him from power in Osun State because he still enjoyed the support of the masses.
The candidate of the APC, who spoke in Yoruba language, urged the people of the state to vote and protect their votes from being manipulated.
He said, “They perpetrated fraud in Ekiti but we are looking at them. They said that my days in office remain 43 days and I just laughed. What they did in Ekiti is not possible here in Osun. Osun is different and they know it. In 2011, all Yoruba states voted for Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate but Osun people voted for Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who was the Action Congress of Nigeria candidate. We are different in Osun. Don’t let them scare you.

Ayo Fayose may have won the election in Ekiti state but he still has a corruption case to answer, this is according to EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren. 
Speaking with Punch Yesterday, Mr. Uwujaren said Fayose's election has not affected his ongoing trial at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, for alleged corruption.
"The EFCC has not dropped the case against the former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose. The trial is still going on; it is continuing at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti. In fact further hearing comes up on July 15, 2014.
As you know, immunity from prosecution applies only to the President, the Vice President, sitting governors and their deputies.”

Two dies as canadian woman stops for ducks

On Friday, Emma Czornobaj was convicted on two counts of criminal negligence causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing death. Her crime? Stopping her car on the left lane of a highway south of Montreal to help a group of motherless ducklings. This caused 50-year-old motorcyclist Andre Roy to slam into her Honda Civic, killing him and his 16-year-old daughter Jessie. Everything is terrible.

According to AP

A Canadian woman who parked her car on a highway to help a group of ducklings on the side of the road was found guilty Friday of causing the deaths of a motorcyclist and his passenger daughter who slammed into her car.
Emma Czornobaj was convicted by a jury on two counts of criminal negligence causing death, a charge that carries a maximum life sentence, and two counts of dangerous driving causing death, which comes with a maximum of 14 years in jail.
The 25-year-old was charged in the deaths of Andre Roy, 50, and his daughter Jessie, 16.
She wiped away tears when the verdict was delivered to a packed courtroom in Montreal. Quebec Superior Court Justice Eliane Perreault said the 12-member jury voted unanimously.
Czornobaj was released until her pre-sentence hearing on Aug. 8.
Roy's motorcycle slammed into Czornobaj's car, which was stopped in the left lane of a provincial highway south of Montreal in 2010.
Czornobaj, a self-professed animal lover, told the court that she did not see the ducklings' mother anywhere and planned to capture them and take them home.
Defense lawyer Marc Labelle said his client was stunned by the jury's decision.
"The fact that she was involved in the accident in the first place was a hard experience for her," he said. "The fact that she had to go through a trial with a lot of publicity was tough and to be confirmed by 12 citizens, the jury, that the conduct was criminal is a hard blow."

Soldiers Stop Amaechi and Oshiomhole from Entering Ekiti

According to Thisdaylive

The federal government displayed its fangs Thursday when in a commando-style operation, soldiers and other security agencies of the federal government prevented Governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo) and Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers) from travelling to Ekiti State.
Amaechi, who had landed in Akure, the Ondo State capital, in a private airplane, had proceeded by road to Ado-Akiti, the capital of Ekiti State, but was stopped and prevented from entering the state at Iju, a border town in Ondo.
After waiting at the border town without being granted permission to enter Ekiti, Amaechi’s motorcade was compelled to depart Ondo State for Lagos yesterday by road, as his aircraft was prevented from flying out of Akure.
In the case of Oshiomhole, his chartered helicopter was grounded at Benin Airport, while the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, whom the All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed was also prevented from departing from the Aminu Kano International Airport for Akure, was never even scheduled to travel.
According to an online news website, Premium Times, at the time APC was issuing a statement that included Kwankwaso as one of its governor’s that had been refused entry into Ekiti, the Kano State governor’s spokesman, Baba Dantiye, had already informed the website that his principal had no intention of travelling yesterday.

Dantiye said Kwankwaso was at an event in Kano State and had no plans of travelling to Ekiti State.
“The governor is in Kano here; he did not have plans of going to Akure, none that I know of,” Dantiye said.
Perhaps realising that his party had released a statement to the contrary, Dantiye called the news medium back to say he was at an event with the governor and would not “want to confirm or deny” the APC’s claim.
Amaechi and Oshimhole were ostensibly heading to Ekiti to attend the rally of the APC today before the governorship election scheduled for tomorrow.
The governors were expected to stay back in Ekiti after the rally to support their colleague, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who is seeking re-election for a second term in office.
Expectedly, the restriction of the governors’ movement drew the condemnation of APC and chieftains of the party, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Senator Bola Tinubu, who warned the federal government against executive impunity and turning the country into a police state.
But the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) applauded the decision to ground the helicopter that was to be used by Oshiomhole to travel to Ekiti, stating that the governor was in the habit of wasting the state’s resources in leasing aircraft to travel for “jamborees instead of developing his state”.
The military also denied that it ambushed and detained Amaechi at the Ondo-Ekiti boundary to prevent him from entering Ekiti State for the rally.
This is just as the Inspector General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar, yesterday said the police had deployed an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and four police commissioners in Ekiti to supervise security operations for tomorrow’s governorship election in the state.

Amaechi Held in Ondo State

However, the Rivers State Government, in a statement yesterday, disputed the military’s denial, stating that Amaechi was held hostage by soldiers and other federal government security agents at Iju, Ondo State.

The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, said Amaechi had left Port Harcourt yesterday morning to join his Ekiti State counterpart in the mega rally before tomorrow's election in Ekiti State.
She said in the statement that before Amaechi departed Ondo for Lagos by road: “The Rivers State Government is concerned about the safety of Governor Amaechi who is right now being held hostage in a commando-style by soldiers and federal government security agents in Iju, Ondo state.
“Governor Amaechi as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and as an All Progressives Congress (APC) governor and chieftain of the party had left Port Harcourt this morning for Ekiti State where he was to join his brother governor in his last mega rally before the elections.
“Governor Amaechi was ambushed and refused entry into Ekiti by military personnel acting on orders from above. He made to turn back and return to Akure where his chartered aircraft was parked but was chased by armed soldiers and security personnel in Otutu, Ondo State. According to the captain who led the operation, he had orders not to allow the governor entry or exit.”
Semenitari also said the chartered aircraft that conveyed Amaechi to Akure Airport had been grounded.
“In the meantime, the chartered aircraft that conveyed the governor has been grounded while the Ministers of Defence, Police Affairs and Minister of State for Defence have landed at the Akure airport,” she said.
She said the Rivers State government was especially worried that the federal government and President Goodluck Jonathan had singled out Amaechi for harassment and attack.
