We pray that may we never witness such occurrence Again.

Nigeria’s D’Tigers win Afrobasket championship for
the first time

The Nigeria senior basketball team, D’tigers,
emerged the African champions for the first after
beating former champions Angola, at the finals of the
2015 Afrobasket by 74 – 65.
With this victory, D’Tigers have now automatically
qualified for the men’s basketball event of the Rio
2016 Olympic Games.

Golden Eaglets successfully defending their world
title in Chile

The national U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets, made
history in Chile when the team successfully defended
the 2013 title it won in UAE.
The team matched Brazil’s feat of winning the trophy
back-to back.
The team also for the second time running, produced
the best player of the tournament. Kelechi Nwakali
succeeding Manchester City’s teen star Kelechi
Iheanacho as the best player of the tournament.

Army/Shiites clash

Soldiers in the convoy of Chief of Army Staff
(COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, on
December 11 engaged Shiite sect members who
blocked the highway on a public procession in Zaria,
Kaduna State.
Hundreds of people were killed in the fracas that
erupted.
The COAS said his convoy acted in self-defence after
pleas to clear the road were rebuffed.
Sect members subsequently protested in six northern
Nigerian cities against the military crackdown while
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani weighed in,
phoning President Buhari on the incident which the
Federal Government termed “a military affair”.
Human rights groups and international organizations
have condemned the Nigerian military and have called
for a probe of the unfortunate incident.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has
set up a Special Investigations Panel into the clash.

Corruption
Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser
to former president Goodluck Jonathan is probably
the most popular man in Nigeria at the moment for
the wrong reasons.
Sambo was on the spotlight in the latter part of the
year for diverting over $2.2 billion meant for
procurement of weapons in the fight against Boko
Haram to other uses.
The load of revelations that have so far come out from
the trial of Dasuki shows how the country’s
leadership has been squandering public funds for their
selfish interests.
As events unraveled, Dasuki gave names of alleged
accomplices in the arms deal controversy including
Raymond Dokpesi, owner of DAAR Communications,
Attahiru Bafarawa, former governor of Sokoto State
and other top PDP chieftains
President Buhari was also implicated in the scam for
accepting a gift of two Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV)
from Dasuki
Buhari said he received the two cars shortly after the
attack on his vehicles in Kaduna State in July 2014
by members of the Boko Haram sect.

Fuel Scarcity
Although fuel scarcity has always been a normal
occurrence in Nigeria, the one that rocked Nigeria in
2015 was regarded as one of the most tragic in
recent years.
The 2015 fuel scarcity brought lots of hardship to
majority of Nigerians causing slowdown in production
and services.
Earlier in the year, fuel scarcity prompted financial
institutions and other organisation to shut down their
operations due to lack of petroleum products to run
their businesses.
The price of fuel rose to N250 per litre in some part
of the country with many selling black market fuel
mixed with diesel, engine oil or as some said, mixed
with water to gain more, thereby perpetrating evil.

New INEC Chairman, inconclusive elections

Prof Mahmud Yakubu was appointed as the new
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to replace Prof Attahiru Jega,
whose tenure expired few months after the conduct of
the 2015 general elections.
Yakubu’s appointment came barely a month to the
Kogi and Bayelsa governorship elections. Both
elections ended inconclusive on first ballot.
In the Kogi election, the sad news of the demise of
the APC governorship candidate Abubakar Audu on
November 22, a day after the election was held,
created a whole new dimension not just for the
election but to constitutional issues with regards to
electoral matters.
Audu was already leading with over 41 353 votes
before the election was declared inconclusive by INEC.
The permission to APC by INEC to replace Audu with
Yahaya Bello, (first runner up at the party’s
primaries) was greeted with resent and legal
objection by the PDP’s candidate and incumbent
governor, Idris Wada and Audu’s running mate,
James Faleke.
While Wada disagreed with transfer of votes to
Bello, Faleke believed he is the rightful one to
continue with the mandate.
INEC took to its stance and the supplementary
election was held on December 5. Bello was declared
winner of the election.
On the same day the Kogi supplementary election was
held, the Bayelsa State governorship election was also
held but it was also declared inconclusive by INEC
following the violence that was recorded in Southern
Ijaw Local Government Area LGA.
INEC has, however, fixed January 9, 2016 for the
conduct of a supplementary election in the state.

Pro Biafra protesters
Dismissed until now as an errant group, the Pro
Biafra agitators managed to seize attention, if not
territory.
Since the beginning of 2015, there had been a series
mass protests by the Biafra agitators, who called for
an independent state of Biafra.
The protests sometimes went violent with reported
deaths.
Shaken by the resoluteness of the demonstrators, the
government wielded the big stick by clamping down on
members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
and Movement for the Actualization of the State of
Biafra (MASSOB).
But the protests got worse following the arrest and
prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB and
promoter of Radio Biafra, a pirate radio the Nigerian
government accused of spreading hate and violence.
Kanu was arrested on October 17, by DSS
operatives, shortly after he arrived in Nigeria from
his base in the United Kingdom.
The pro Biafra groups in December decided to put on
hold all protests over the continued detention of Kanu.
This was to allow the federal government room for
dialogue on Kanu’s release.
A few days after the suspension of protests, the
government withdrew the charges against Kanu.
Similarly, a Federal High Court (FHC) in Abuja
ordered the unconditional release of Kanu from the
custody of the Department of State Security Service
(DSS).
The court ruled that the continued detention of Kanu
after three months without trial, violated section 158
of the Administration of Criminal Justice (ACJ) Act
2015 and section 35 of the 1999 Constitution.

Boko Haram

The militant Islamic group Boko Haram rose to
infamy in 2015 as the world’s most dangerous
terrorist group.
The group has so far killed more people than the
Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq.
The group pledged its allegiance to ISIS in March
2015 and changed its name to Islamic State in West
Africa.
The radical group’s conquests threatened almost the
entire North-East communities and displaced
hundreds of thousands of people.
In the year under review, the group was unrelenting in
its bombing of parks, mosques, schools, markets and
all other crowded places.
The terrorists took their destructive activities beyond
the hotbeds of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States
into Kano and Abuja.
In 2015, the terrorism sect adopted a new approach
that saw it using teenage girls as suicide bombers.
President Buhari has, however, given the military a
December 31 deadline to decimate the terrorists.

Unveiling Buhari’s ministers

While the National Assembly boiled over the
leadership crisis, Nigerians eagerly awaited for the
unveiling of president Buhari’s cabinet members.
However, when Buhari started appointing members of
his “inner cycle”, there were hues and cries from
some geo-political zones, especial the South-East
over what was termed a lopsided appointment.
In a bid to fulfill his pledge to appoint ministers by
September, the president on the last day of the
month submitted a list of his ministerial nominees to
the Senate.
Names on the list included those of long-time
associates of the president, politicians as well as
technocrats with no known political affiliations.
The nomination of the immediate past governor of
Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, however, generated a
lot of controversies as senators from the PDP
opposed his nomination.
Amaechi was eventually screened and confirmed after
series of political horse trading and intrigues.
The assignment of portfolios on November 11 came as
a surprise to many as those expected to head
particular ministries were assigned to others.

National Assembly leadership
While still basking in the euphoria of its victory in the
general elections, the APC was caught in internal
party squabbles over how to fill legislative positions in
the two chambers of the National Assembly.
Weeks of politicking and even mock polls failed to
salvage the situation.
However, in what could be described as a perfect
political coup d’etat, Senator Bukola Saraki defied
all the odds and hurdles placed in his way by the
APC by emerging Senate president.
Saraki defeated his rival and the party’s choice,
Senator Ahmed Lawan, who was not even present on
the floor of the Senate, to clinch the Senate
presidency unopposed.
But his victory could not have been achieved without
the assistance of the opposition PDP senators.
With its appreciable numbers, PDP was able to cause
for the emergence of Saraki and one of its members,
Ike Ekweremadu, as deputy Senate president,
causing an unprecedented situation since 1999, where
an opposition member was part of the principal
officers of the Senate.
In the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara
from the North-East was elected Speaker in
contravention of the resolve of the APC leadership to
install Femi Gbajabiamila from the South-West as
Speaker. The party leadership, however, had its way
by making Gbajabiamila the House Leader.

April general elections

The general elections, which were initially scheduled to
commence on February 14 with the presidential vote,
were postponed by six weeks due to national
insecurity and lack of proper distribution of
Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs). The delay was
also meant to allow the Nigerian troops to take over
territories controlled the by the Boko Haram militant
group.
The Presidential and National Assembly elections
were finally held on March 28.
The elections were successful despite many
controversies that trailed the processes leading to the
exercise.
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) defeated the incumbent president Goodluck
Jonathan. This was the first time that an incumbent
president was defeated in the history of Nigeria as a
nation.
Buhari scored a total of 15 424 921 votes, while
Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
got a total of 12 853 162 votes to come second.
One significant thing that changed the course of
history was the acceptance of the outcome of the
election by Jonathan. He did not wait till the end of
the exercise before congratulating Buhari.
The governorship election two weeks later was also a
success, as the APC cleared most of the states
hitherto occupied by the PDP.
President Buhari and the newly elected governors
were sworn-in on May 29.

Every passing year comes with its defining moments and events that make that particular year memorable.

The same was true of 2015, as the year witnessed many breaking events.

Nigeria had its own fair share - from the controversial to the awe inspiring, to the frightening and to the absurd.

Seventy years ago, a farmer beheaded a chicken in
Colorado, and it refused to die. Mike, as the bird
became known, survived for 18 months and
became famous. But how did he live without a head
for so long, asks Chris Stokel-Walker.
On 10 September 1945 Lloyd Olsen and his wife
Clara were killing chickens, on their farm in Fruita,
Colorado. Olsen would decapitate the birds, his wife
would clean them up. But one of the 40 or 50
animals that went under Olsen's hatchet that day
didn't behave like the rest.
"They got down to the end and had one who was still
alive, up and walking around," says the couple's
great-grandson, Troy Waters, himself a farmer in
Fruita. The chicken kicked and ran, and didn't stop.
It was placed in an old apple box on the farm's
screened porch for the night, and when Lloyd Olsen
woke the following morning, he stepped outside to see
what had happened. "The damn thing was still
alive," says Waters.
"It's part of our weird family history," says Christa
Waters, his wife.
Waters heard the story as a boy, when his bedridden
great-grandfather came to live in his parents' house.
The two had adjacent bedrooms, and the old man,
often sleepless, would talk for hours.
"He took the chicken carcasses to town to sell them
at the meat market," Waters says.
"He took this rooster with him - and back then he
was still using the horse and wagon quite a bit. He
threw it in the wagon, took the chicken in with him
and started betting people beer or something that he
had a live headless chicken."
Word spread around Fruita about the miraculous
headless bird. The local paper dispatched a reporter
to interview Olsen, and two weeks later a sideshow
promoter called Hope Wade travelled nearly 300
miles from Salt Lake City, Utah. He had a simple
proposition: take the chicken on to the sideshow
circuit - they could make some money.
"Back then in the 1940s, they had a small farm and
were struggling," Waters says. "Lloyd said, 'What
the hell - we might as well.'"
First they visited Salt Lake City and the University of
Utah, where the chicken was put through a battery of
tests. Rumour has it that university scientists
surgically removed the heads of many other chickens to
see whether any would live.
It was here that Life Magazine came to marvel over
the story of Miracle Mike the Headless Chicken - as
he had by now been branded by Hope Wade. Then
Lloyd, Clara and Mike set off on a tour of the US.
They went to California and Arizona, and Hope
Wade took Mike on a tour of the south-eastern
United States when the Olsens had to return to their
farm to collect the harvest.
The bird's travels were carefully documented by Clara
in a scrapbook that is preserved in the Waters's gun
safe today.
People around the country wrote letters - 40 or 50
in all - and not all positive. One compared the Olsens
to Nazis, another from Alaska asked them to swap
Mike's drumstick in exchange for a wooden leg. Some
were addressed only to "The owners of the headless
chicken in Colorado", yet still found their way to the
family farm.
After the initial tour, the Olsens took Mike the
Headless Chicken to Phoenix, Arizona, where
disaster struck in the spring of 1947.
"That's where it died - in Phoenix," Waters says.
What happens when a chicken's head is chopped
off?
Beheading disconnects the brain from the rest of
the body, but for a short period the spinal cord
circuits still have residual oxygen.
Without input from the brain these circuits start
spontaneously. "The neurons become active, the
legs start moving," says Dr Tom Smulders of
Newcastle University.
Usually the chicken is lying down when this
happens, but in rare cases, neurons will fire a
motor programme of running.
"The chicken will indeed run for a little while,"
says Smulders. "But not for 18 months, more like
15 minutes or so."
Mike was fed with liquid food and water that the
Olsens dropped directly into his oesophagus. Another
vital bodily function they helped with was clearing
mucus from his throat. They fed him with a dropper,
and cleared his throat with a syringe.
The night Mike died, they were woken in their motel
room by the sound of the bird choking. When they
looked for the syringe they realised they had left it at
the sideshow, and before they could find an
alternative, Mike suffocated.
"For years he would claim he had sold [the chicken]
to a guy in the sideshow circuit," Waters says,
before pausing. "It wasn't until, well, a few years
before he died that he finally admitted to me one night
that it died on him. I think he didn't ever want to
admit he screwed up and let the proverbial goose that
lays golden eggs die on him."
Olsen would never tell what he did with the dead
bird. "I'm willing to bet he got flipped out in the
desert somewhere between here and Phoenix, on the
side of the road, probably eaten by coyotes,"
Waters says.
But by any measure Mike, bred as a fryer chicken,
had a good innings. How had he been able to survive
for so long?
The thing that surprises Dr Tom Smulders, a chicken
expert at the Centre for Behaviour and Evolution at
Newcastle University, is that he did not bleed to
death. The fact that he was able to continue
functioning without a head he finds easier to explain.
For a human to lose his or her head would involve an
almost total loss of the brain. For a chicken, it's
rather different.
"You'd be amazed how little brain there is in the
front of the head of a chicken," says Smulders.
It is mostly concentrated at the back of the skull,
behind the eyes, he explains.
Reports indicate that Mike's beak, face, eyes and
an ear were removed with the hatchet blow. But
Smulders estimates that up to 80% of his brain by
mass - and almost everything that controls the
chicken's body, including heart rate, breathing,
hunger and digestion - remained untouched.
It was suggested at the time that Mike survived the
blow because part or all of the brain stem remained
attached to his body. Since then science has evolved,
and what was then called the brain stem has been
found to be part of the brain proper.
"Most of the bird brain as we know it now would
actually be considered the brain stem back then,"
Smulders says.
"The names that had been given to parts of the bird
brain in the late 1800s were all indicating
equivalences with the mammalian brain that were in
fact wrong."
Why those who tried to create a Mike of their own
did not succeed is hard to explain. It seems the cut,
in Mike's case, came in just the right place, and a
timely blood clot luckily prevented him bleeding to
death.
Troy Waters suspects that his great-grandfather
tried to replicate his success with the hatchet a few
times.
Certainly, others did. A neighbour who lived up the
road would buy up any chickens for sale at an auction
in nearby Grand Junction, Colorado, and stop by the
family farm with a six-pack of beer for Olsen, to
persuade him to explain exactly how he did it.
"I remember [him] telling me, laughing, that he got
free beer every other weekend because the neighbour
was sure he got filthy rich off this chicken," Waters
says.
"Filthy rich" was an opinion many held in Fruita of
the Olsen family. But according to Waters, that was
an exaggeration.
"He did make a little money off it," Waters says.
He bought a hay baler and two tractors, replacing his
horse and mule. And also - a bit of a luxury - a
1946 Chevrolet pickup truck.
Waters once asked Lloyd Olsen if he had fun. "He
said, 'Oh yeah, I had a chance to travel around and
see parts of the country I probably otherwise
wouldn't have seen. I was able to modernise and
have farm equipment.' But it was something he put in
his past.
"He still farmed the rest of his life, scratched a
living out of the dirt."

adeaks:
I dont agree with number 6, but I am willing to Google it and learn. If the bull is enraged by the aggressive posturing of the matador, then it should charge at the body of the matador rather than the red cloth. Also, if bulls manage to break out of their enclosures, they seem to always charge bystanders wearing red clothing first.


Also, number 9 has no correlation to the list.

Spanish matadors began using a small
red cape, or muleta, in bullfighting around the 1700s.
Ever since, it seems, people have perpetuated the
color-charged myth that red makes bulls go wild.
An 1,800-pound bull can hook a grown man with his
horns and toss him 30 feet in the air, so the
MythBusters set out to find a way to test this myth
— carefully. They decided to put makeshift matadors
into an arena, each holding a flag of a different
color, and wait for an angry bull to see red.
The red, blue and white flags got equal, half-
hearted attacks when they were motionless. In order
to elicit an aggressive charge response from the bull,
the flags had to be waved.
Turns out, the color red isn't what causes bulls to
attack. In fact, bulls don't seem to have any color
preference at all. They'll charge whichever object is
moving the most, which means this old myth can get
tossed right out of the ring.

waste of time in as much we dey chat n he dey reply,no problemo

. The word “Bleep” was never an English term
meaning “Fornication Under Consent of King.” It
likely comes from the Dutch fokken, the German
ficken or the Norwegian fukka.

2. “420” is not the Los Angeles police code for
marijuana use. Some guys claim they invented “420”
at San Rafael High School in 1971, when a group of
stoners would go smoke under a statue every day at
4:20 PM, but who knows?

3. Napoleon Bonaparte was not short. Or well, tiny.
He was 5’7’’, which was more or less standard
height in 1821. His nickname le Petit Corporal was a
term of endearment, and not meant to be taken
literally.

4. There is no “real” you. If you treat people
poorly, or start fights in bars, or steal, or hit dogs,
or pick on the weak kid in school, you are not, nor
can you be, “actually a good person on the inside.”
You are an asshole.

5. Waking sleepwalkers does not harm them. They
may get disoriented for a bit, but it can’t hurt them.
Letting them walk around a house asleep, on the
other hand, could harm them pretty good.

6. Bulls can’t see the color red as any different from
any other bright colors. It does not enrage them.
Rather, the aggressive posturing of the matador is
what causes them to charge.

7. Humans have more than five senses. Most
humanistic social scientists (the guys who study such
things) believe they have at least nine, and some
argue up to twenty senses. In addition to touch,
taste, sight, hearing and smell, humans can sense
pain, hunger, thirst, pressure, balance, acceleration,
and time, among others.

8. Hair and fingernails do not continue growing after
people die. Rather, the skin cells surrounding the nails
and hair follicles die and shrink away, giving the
perception of growth.

9. Outside of your family and perhaps a very few
close friends, no one on earth cares that much about
you. Unless you’re a celebrity.

10. Albert Einstein never failed math in school. He
once failed an entrance exam to a gifted students’
school, but he was two years younger than everyone
else taking the test, and he aced the math and
science sections of the exam.

11. Life expectancy in the Middle Ages was low
(around 30), but that was caused by a huge infant
mortality rate. Most people who lived past infancy
didn’t die at 30. If you made it to 21 in medieval
England, your average life expectancy at that point
became 64.

12. Men don’t think about sex every seven seconds.

13. Vaccines don’t cause autism. The only study that
ever linked the two was shown to have faulty data
and the lead scientist fudged the results.

14. George Washington never had wooden teeth. His
dentures were made of gold, hippo ivory, lead, and
human teeth.

15. Also, George Washington never smoked pot. He
did grow cannabis on his property, but that was for
hemp to make clothing for his slaves.

16. Chewing gum doesn’t take seven years to digest.

In fact, you don’t digest it at all. Shoots right
18. While we’re on a Christianity kick, nowhere in
the Bible does it identify Christ’s birthday at
December 25. Bible scholars put his birthday
sometime in September, but there’s no specific date.
Pope Julius the First most likely set the December
date. He may have been tying it in to a winter
solstice festival, or celebrating the date of the
conception of Christ (nine months before the
September date of his birth).

19. The forbidden fruit is never explicitly stated to be
an apple. It’s just a fruit.

20. Jihad does not mean “holy war.” It translates
literally as “struggle.”

21. Thomas Edison didn’t invent the light bulb. His
was the first practical light bulb that could be used at
home and wouldn’t burn out, but others had invented
similar devices beforehand.

22. Dogs don’t sweat by salivating. Panting helps
cool them down, but dogs have sweat glands other
places besides their tongues, including the pads of
their feet.

23. Frankenstein wasn’t the name of the monster in
Mary Shelley’s novel. The medical student who
created him was named Frankenstein. The monster
was nameless. (Also, Frankenstein was a medical
student, not a doctor, as he is commonly referred.)

24. Drug “flashbacks” are a psychological response,
and not the result of leftover drugs being stored in
your fat cells.

25. Marilyn Monroe never said, “Well behaved
women rarely make history.” Harvard professor
Laurel Thatcher said it.
advertisement

26. Marie Antoinette did not say, “Let them eat
cake.” Jean-Jacques Rousseau first wrote the
phrase when Marie was only ten years old. Rousseau
probably made it up himself, the cad.

If I tell you I earn millions monthly, you will not believe. So, let me accept I'm a barrow pusher. It doesn't make me one.

Nincompoop, tell us which law states you're entitled to your salary after 15th of every month? Olodo, it is called "monthly salary" for a reason and it is normally not earned before the month ends. So, if you get paid before the month ends, it's a priviledge and not a right.

do u know that u stop been paid as from the 25th in some private company ?? like all the work u do from 25 downward is for the company Free !!. previous govt weren't paying on 31st .

I think the only way the naira is going to stop falling is by
1.creating and inserting oil loving nanomites into other OPEC countries oil wells
2. starting another Arabian war
3. block all other alternative energy source
if not, we are falling in a black hole.endless falling activated.
