SINGAPORE (AFP) – Indian
gang-rape victim has died
Saturday in Singapore after
suffering severe organ
failure, the hospital
treating her said, in a case that sparked widespread
street protests over
violence against women. Authorities in India have
been preparing for the
possibility her death could
ignite more protests after
riot police were deployed
on the capital’s streets in the wake of the attack
amid simmering anger at
the daily dangers women
face. The 23-year-old was
airlifted to Singapore on
Thursday after she was
attacked by six men on a
bus in New Delhi on
December 16, and hit with an iron bar. Some Indian
medics had criticised the
decision to move her. “We are very sad to report
that the patient passed
away peacefully at 4.45 am
(2045 GMT) on 29 Dec
2012,” Kelvin Loh, the chief
executive of Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth Hospital,
said in a statement. “Her family and officials
from the High Commission
of India were by her side.
The Mount Elizabeth
Hospital team of doctors,
nurses and staff join her family in mourning her
loss.” She had remained in an
extremely critical condition
since being admitted to the
hospital, Loh said, with
doctors mounting a last-
ditch battle overnight to save her life. “Despite all efforts by a
team of eight specialists in
Mount Elizabeth Hospital to
keep her stable, her
condition continued to
deteriorate over these two days,” Loh said. “She had suffered from
severe organ failure
following serious injuries
to her body and brain. She
was courageous in fighting
for her life for so long against the odds but the
trauma to her body was too
severe for her to overcome. File Photo: Abia gang rape saga “We are humbled by the
privilege of being tasked to
care for her in her final
struggle.” The victim was treated in
Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital
after the attack. The decision to fly her out
of the country by air
ambulance was taken at a
meeting of Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh’s cabinet
on Wednesday and the government had promised
to pay all her medical bills. Home Minister Sushilkumar
Shinde said the
government’s only concern
was to ensure the victim
received “the best
treatment possible”. But Indian newspapers
suggested the authorities,
who have struggled to
contain the nationwide
protests over the attack,
were keen to have her transferred out of the
country. An unnamed doctor who
was part of a team of
experts consulted about
the transfer told The Hindu
newspaper they had only
been asked whether it was safe to move her and not
whether it was the best
course of action. “The question was not
whether there were any
deficiencies in treatment
that would be met by
moving her… She was
being given the best possible care,” the doctor
was quoted as saying. Samiran Nundy, chairman
of the organ transplant and
gastro-surgery department
of Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram
Hospital, told the paper the
transfer made little sense. “I just can’t understand
why a critically ill patient
with infection in blood and
body, high grade fever and
on the ventilator is being
transferred,” he said. Singh has ordered an
official inquiry into the
gang-rape and new laws to
protect women as well as
stiffer penalties for the
worst sex crimes. The government has also
announced plans to post
the photos, names and
addresses of convicted
rapists on official websites
to publicly shame them. The campaign will begin in
Delhi, which has been
dubbed India’s “rape
capital”. Shinde also said Delhi
police would soon launch a
drive to recruit more
female officers as a
confidence-building
measure. India was rocked by a wave
of protests in the week
after the attack, prompting
authorities to seal off large
parts of the capital and to
deploy riot police with water cannons tear gas. The Delhi gang-rape has
shone the spotlight on a
crime that occurs on a daily
basis in India, with most
such assaults taking place
in rural areas. Police said on Friday that a
15-year-old schoolgirl had
had her throat slit after
being gang-raped in the
Pali Muqimpure area of
Uttar Pradesh state. A hunt has been launched for
three youths after the
attack the previous day.http://vanguardngr.com

By Kingsley Omonobi ABUJA—Indications
emerged, yesterday, that
authorities of the Nigerian
Army Garrison
Headquarters in Abuja,
foiled a suicidal plot by members of the dreaded
Islamic sect, Boko Haram,
to carry out a Christmas
and New Year celebrations’
bombing in the Federal
Capital Territory, FCT. Vanguard gathered that
two drums loaded with
explosives, several sizes of
cans, including those of
vegetable oils and palm oil
converted to Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs;
about six AK-47 rifles and
timing devices were
recovered. Landlord, middleman
nabbed Sources told Vanguard that
two persons, the landlord
of the house where the
high caliber explosives
were recovered, and
another man described as the middle man who
facilitated the movement
of the plotters and IEDS to
the house, where the
attack was to be
coordinated, have been arrested by operatives of
the Army Garrison
Headquarters. A manhunt is also said to
have been activated for the
persons scheduled to carry
out the bombings. Vanguard was told that the
operatives, made up of
Military Intelligence and
counter-terrorism
personnel, stormed the
house located in Suleja area, following a tip off at
the dead of the night, but
were unable to apprehend
the two suicide bombers,
who did not return from
wherever they went on that day. It was gathered that both
the landlord and
middleman were being
detained in a military
facility in Abuja, while the
Police and SSS have been co-opted into the plan to
get the two runaway
plotters apprehended. Security agents on red alert Vanguard gathered that
since the two have not
been apprehended, security
had been beefed up in and
around Abuja, with all exit
and entry points receiving special security attention. Also, areas of national
importance, including the
National Assembly; Central
Bank of Nigeria; NNPC
Towers; diplomatic
missions; Ministries of Defence, Finance, Foreign
Affairs; ECOWAS
Secretariat; service
headquarters of Army, Navy
and Airforce; Radio House;
prominent hotels and recreations centres, are
being heavily secured. Furthermore, patrol teams
of the Army Garrison
Headquarters, Guards
Brigade, SSS and the Police
are moving round the city,
even as mobile detectors have been activated to
intercept any planned
movement of explosives or
IEDs around the FCT.

miiraaj: Congratulations,even though its gona b bizness as usual.

yeah, my thought exactly. Wonders why they didn't pick yakowa's wife

By Kingsley Omonobi ABUJA—Nigerian Army,
yesterday, retired 51 senior
officers, with their
retirement letters
stipulating that they
proceed on terminal leave with effect from December
31, 2012. Vanguard gathered that
many of the officers
protested to the Presidency
and National Assembly over
the retirement, claiming it
did not follow the terms and conditions of service of
the Armed Forces. Affected officers A breakdown of the retired
officers shows that 12
Major-Generals, 24
Brigadier-Generals and 15
Colonels were served
letters. Among those retired is the
former UN Force
Commander in South
Sudan, Major-General Moses
Obi; Commander Infantry
Centre Corps, Jaji, Major- General M. D. Isah, who also
doubled as Cantonment
Commander of Jaji
Cantonment that was
recently breached by
suicide bombers. File Photo: Army Officers However, Army Spokesman,
newly-promoted Major-
General Mobolaji Koleoso,
said the retirement of
General Isa had nothing to
do with the Jaji bomb blast as he was already due to
go. He said the board of inquiry
report on the Jaji incident
was being studied and that
Nigerians will be informed
of the outcome at the
appropriate time. Reacting to the anonymous
text message making
rounds in the public
domain alleging forceful
retirements of some
officers, Koleoso, Director of Army Public Relations,
noted that it was not
common for the Army to
respond to such
insinuations, but noted it
was necessary to exercise the right of response in this
case to put the facts before
the public. We followed rules,
regulations— Army According to him, the
administration of the
Nigerian Army, NA, as in
any organisation, is
governed by rules and
regulations. He said the 51 officers
retired had been notified
earlier in the year of their
retirement, adding that
most of them had
voluntarily written regarding same. Subsequently, the Army
Council approved their
retirement from service
having attained the
mandatory age ceiling for
each rank. He said retirement from
any noble profession,
especially the Army, was
considered a noble exit,
which every officer hoped
and prayed for. “To turn around to give
such a milestone exercise a
negative flavour is, to say
the least, mischievous,” he
said. Among those who put in
paper for voluntary
retirement is Major-General
Olayinka Akinyemi, Chief of
Policy and Plans, Army
Headquarters. He added that the present leadership
will continue to uphold its
core values. He said in line with the
Chief of Army Staff, COAS’s
vision of transforming the
NA into a force better able
to meet contemporary
challenges and President Jonathan’s transformation
agenda, the NA will
continue to abide by extant
rules and regulations. Koleoso said: “The NA uses
this medium to advise
anybody aggrieved over the
decisions of the Army
Council to take advantage
of the relevant provisions in the Harmonised Terms
and Condition of Services
Officers, 2012 (Revised) to
appeal to the C-in-C
through the Chief of
Defence Staff and stop banking on ethnic and
religious sentiments to
pursue personal ambitions. “Also, Nigerian Army under
the leadership of Lt.-Gen. O.
Ihejirika, is a united,
cohesive and focused
institution and will remain
steadfast in the discharge of its national
responsibilities, especially
in its present fight against
terrorism.” On terrorists attacks Speaking on terrorist
attacks, the Army
Spokesman said terrorists
wanted to create problems
by attacking churches and
killing Christians, adding that if Christians had not
held back, it would have
ignited a religious war,
which no country ever
survived. He said there had been
cordon and search
operations everywhere in
the north and the south. According to him, it is why
Nigerians have had a
peaceful Christmas and will
equally have a peaceful
New Year. General Koleoso added that
though the cordon and
search and roadblocks
were not intended to
harass or intimidate
civilians, the measure put in place had recorded a lot
of successes. He urged Nigerians to be
patient as the measures
might cause some delays,
but that it was for the
safety of all.

Austin (Texas) Former
President George H.W. Bush

of a Houston hospital and is
in “guarded condition,’’
family spokesman Jim McGrath has said. “The president is alert and
conversing with medical
staff, and is surrounded by
family,’’ McGrath said in a
statement. “Following a series of
setbacks including a
persistent fever, President
Bush was admitted to the
intensive care unit at
Methodist Hospital on Sunday where he remains
in guarded condition,’’
McGrath said. “Doctors at Methodist
continue to be cautiously
optimistic about the
current course of
treatment.’’ The 88-year-old was
admitted to the hospital on
Nov. 23 for bronchitis. A hospital spokesman said
in mid-December that the
former president was
expected to be home from
the hospital in time for
Christmas, but the spokesman later said
doctors felt that the former
president should build up
his energy before going
home. Bush has lower body
Parkinsonism, which
causes a loss of balance,
and has used wheelchairs
for more than a year,
McGrath said in an e-mail on Wednesday. Bush, the 41st U.S.

President George W. Bush,
he also served as a
congressman, ambassador

mazidumex: Super eagles player and West Brom playmaker, Osaze odemwingie has been slammed with a life ban from the super eagles after he posted some insultive comments on micro blogging website, Twitter.

Unhappy at being left out of the provisional 32-man squad that will begin camping in Faro this week, Osaze lashed out at head coach Stephen Keshi and the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF). Osaze had said that Keshi has no footballing reasons not to invite him to camp and criticized the way he found out about being dropped via the media rather than from the coach himself.
One top NFF official responded by saying that Osaze would not be allowed to go unpunished for insulting the NFF, Keshi and Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo. He added that Osaze took matters too far with his outburst on Twitter and as such must pay for his actions.

According to NFF sources, Osaze's case will now be referred to the federation's disciplinary committee to investigate and make recommendations to the executive committee for the next line of action. He added: “Who does Osaze think he is that makes him think that he can abuse everybody and go unpunished?

“Well, he may think he does not need us because he also holds a European Union passport but we shall make a statement with the action we will take against him. We are 100 per cent in support of Keshi because we know he picked his team without any ill-feelings.”

Osaze meanwhile has conceded that being dropped from the Nations Cup squad effectively ends his international career. He added that it is just as well he was not invited to the Faro camp, as it is not ideal to play for a coach who does not want him.

TRUTHTELA: Gen. Burba Marwa, may not be a SAINT, but he's better than all the prospective presidential candidates from Northern Nigeria. He's PROGRESSIVE minded. He's not an ISLAMIC EXTREMIST , he's DE-TRIBALIZED, his TESTED and PROVEN record in Lagos, speaks for itself.

Marwa, will perform, all he needs is for Mr INTEGRITY ( Gen Buhari), to endorse him, cos, Buhari, has huge followership in the North. Buhari, will FOREVER have my vote, but, his IMAGE has been battered down Southern Nigeria, his chances of winning the MAJORITY vote is very slim.

Marwa, doesn't need to be in PDP to win 2015 election. The rest of the candidates has one or two baggages. Fashola, would've been the IDEAL candidate,but people should realize that Nigeria is a PLURAL and COMPLEX country, Nigeria is not USA ( where people know what they what from their leaders and you RUN for office based on your RECORDS).

Nigerians should PLEASE wake up! Don't accept ANYONE endorse by Obasanjo ( petty thief), the same man RUINED Nigeria, by PICKING ( not allowing the lay down DEMOCRATIC rules of PDP to produce better candidate) Yar'adua and Jonathan, Obasnajo, knew that these two men are WEAKLINGS, they will not OUTSHINE him. Their FAILURE will make him RELEVANT or be seen as a HERO. The North had so many BRIGHT and MODERATE candidates that were better than Yar'adua,but, the SELFISH ROGUE refuse to handover power to someone that will PERFORM. However, Jonathan, was not the BEST south/south candidate for Vice-president, Odili, Duke, and Attah would have done better, but Obj, preferred MEDIOCRE, hence, Jonathan.

MARWA for PRESIDENT!!! Maybe Fashola, Dora, Duke, Adams or anyone in this category.

SAY YOUR MIND!
