Politics / Chadian Troops Rescue 85 Nigerian Hostages From Boko Haram by aceman(m): 4:19am On Aug 17, 2014 |
Chadian troops have rescued 85 Nigerians kidnapped last week by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, security and human rights sources in Nigeria said Saturday. Dozens of Boko Haram insurgents stormed the Doron Baga fishing and farming village on the shores of Lake Chad late Sunday through Monday and took away 97 young men and boys plus several women, residents said. The raiders killed 28 residents and burned scores of homes, according to residents. The hostages were loaded onto motorboats and ferried into neighboring Chad, with residents saying they feared the hostages would be forcefully conscripted as foot soldiers. Chadian security officials reported intercepting a convoy of buses carrying 85 Nigerians" believed to have been kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists from Baga," a Nigerian security source said. "The convoy being led by six Boko Haram gunmen was stopped on the Chadian part of the border along Lake Chad for routine checks and the huge number in the convoy raised suspicion," said the source, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the issue. An official of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Maiduguri confirmed the rescue of the 63 male and 22 female hostages. The source, who asked that his name not be used, said more than 30 hostages were still being held by Boko Haram. He said their captors sped off with them in motorboats when they spotted the convoy being questioned by Chadian soldiers. Boko Haram has been waging a five-year armed insurgency to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria. The group has carried out series of abductions, including the April kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls from a boarding school in the town of Chibok. Boko Haram uses its hostages as conscripts and sex slaves, according to authorities. They say Boko Haram has killed more than 12,000 people and displaced more than half a million residents source: m.cnn.com/primary/cnnd_fullarticle?articleId=cnn/2014/08/16/world/africa/boko-haram-hostages-rescued&branding=&pagesize=10&category=cnnd_latest |

Health / Re: Breaking: Ebola Goes Out Of Control As 21 Quarantined In Enugu - Fg by aceman(m): 6:12am On Aug 14, 2014 |
Giannakopoulos: FG quarantined her and she could still travel,then the word "quarantine" has to be redefined to us by this our unserious FG. The report said that she evaded quarantine. We don't need to blame the FG as a habit, even when facts show that they are making a very good effort . If you must play the blame game, you MAY blame the nurse, but she is only human and irrational like many. Playing the blame game won't solve this problem . All the "likes" you got for your statement doesn't solve the problem too 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: I'm in Abuja, can you kindly recommend who can supply the sensor? |
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by aceman(m): 4:17am On Jul 30, 2014 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks for the diagnosis and suggestions, I'll try and get it replaced. On another note, I recently ordered a D900 OBD II scanner, if I have it, will I be able to use it to identity the faulty sensor by myself and save the cost of the diagnosis? More grease to your elbows . |
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by aceman(m): 2:40pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
Very useful thread. I had the wheel studs and break pads on my Odyssey replaced 3 days ago, and since then the ABS and TCS has been on. The mechanic did a lot of banging during the work, could he have damaged anything? The car moves ok, not I'm not comfortable with those indicators being on like that. Pls what can be the problem and likely solution? |
Travel / Passenger Falls Out Of Plane by aceman(m): 12:01pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
A passenger fell out of small plane and plummeted into the water in Miami's Biscayne Bay today, police said. The plane was flying at 1,800 feet at the time. Air traffic control received a "mayday" call around 1:30 p.m. ET when the Piper PA 46 was flying roughly eight miles southeast of Tamiami Executive Airport. "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! I have a door ajar and I'm heading toward Tamiami," the pilot told air traffic control. "I have a door ajar and a passenger that fell down. I'm six miles from Tamiami." "You said you've got a passenger that fell out of your plane?" the air traffic controller asks the pilot. "That's correct, sir. He opened the backdoor and he just fell out the plane," said the unidentified pilot. The aircraft continued onto Tamiami Airport and landed. Miami-Dade Police tell ABCNews.com that their homicide unit was dispatched to the airport Thursday afternoon to question the pilot. The only people aboard the plane had been the pilot and the passenger, police said. Detectives are currently at the Tamiami Airport "talking to the pilot to see what transpired before the passenger fell from the plane." Divers with the Miami-Dade police department are searching the area where the man is believed to have fallen into the water. That area is between the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne and the seashore so some-where in that section of Biscayne Bay. The Coast Guard station Miami Beach sent a search and rescue boat to search the waters and Miami-Dade County Air Rescue dispatched one of their helicopters as well. That helicopter has since been called off. Source: http://news.yahoo.com/passenger-falls-plane-off-florida-coast-235439057--abc-news-topstories.html |
Politics / Patience Jonathan Needs Our Empathy - The Truth Should Be Told by aceman(m): 6:52pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
Let’s empathise with the First lady –Okupe The Presidency said on Tuesday that it expected Nigerians to empathise with and pray for the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan and not probe into her health problems. Senior Special Assistant to the President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said this when asked to speak on the First Lady’s whereabouts. He was asked to also clarify if the silence from the Presidency on Mrs. Jonathan was not fuelling rumours concerning her health. Okupe, who was very reluctant to speak on the issue argued that Nigeria has gone through a lot of trauma in term of leadership, deaths and ill luck in the past. “Ordinarily, I do not want to comment on this matter. Nigerians have gone through a lot of trauma in term of leadership and death and ill luck and all that (in the past)” he said. “Abacha died in the Villa, Obasanjo’s wife died in the Villa, Yar’Adua lost his life in the Villa. “I think even if it is a suggestion that the wife of the President is sick, what I will expect Nigerians to feel is empathy, not probing, not questioning (about her health). “Have we become so disenchanted with leadership as to believe that the leadership is inhuman? I believe that the First Lady is hale and hearty. I want to leave it like that.” Source: www.channelstv.com/home/2012/10/03/lets-empathise-with-the-first-lady-okupe/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |

I live in Abuja and I see the rainbow when it is normal to see one - rainy days or rainy weather. The issue is that so many people go about with their heads down and there mind on problems that they do not take time to look up and appreciate the heavens. |

Celebrities / Re: Hottest Nollywood Celebrities by aceman(m): 8:24am On Nov 04, 2009 |
For me, the hottest Nollywood actress is Mercy Johnson. She has a very very hot body that always exudes sexiness. One thing I also find interesting about her is how she is able to portray young unsofiisticated girls - but her sex appeal always betray her and shines forth. If only she can pose for Playboy, |
