TV/MoviesHalf Of A Yellow Sun Sets New Box Office Record by Akbee(op): 1:37pm On Aug 07, 2014
‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ has set a new first
weekend box office record in Nigeria. The
record came from showing the movie in 15
cinemas across Nigeria in its first 3 days,
with Lagos cinemas topping the charts.
‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ is expected to also
break the record of the highest grossing
movie in Nigeria, being the country of the
author of the book, and the director and
executive producers of the movie.
Half of a Yellow Sun is at the number one
spot in Nigerian cinemas, ahead of Marvel
Studio’s ‘Guardian of Galaxy’. The movie
has been able to surpass other box office
trailblazers like Last Flight to Abuja
(N8.35Million), Phone Swap (N3.72Million),
Maami (N3.30Million), and The Return of
Jennifer (N10Million).
According to Mr. Kene Mkparu C.E.O of
FilmOne Distribution, the distributors of the
movie “we have always maintained that
the success of ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ is
the success of Nollywood. If ‘Half of a
Yellow Sun’ succeeds and from the figures
we have, it will succeed, it signifies
success for Nollywood. It is our belief that
if a film is well done, Nigerian audiences
would respond to it and drive its success.
‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ is a movie about
Nigeria and we believe that Nigerians will
drive its success. We are delighted that the
Nigerian public has turned out enmass to
support the film. We want to urge
everyone who has seen this film to go
back and see it again and encourage
others to see it.”

PoliticsKano Govt. Arrests 200 Street Beggars by Akbee(op): 1:30pm On Aug 07, 2014
Kano – The Kano State Hisbah authorities
said on Wednesday in Kano that they
arrested 200 persons for street begging in
Kano municipal area.
Hisbah is the law enforcement arm of the
sharia law.
The Deputy Commander, Operations,
Hisbah Board, Malam Yusuf Nabahani,
told newsmen that preliminary
investigations indicated that the beggars
were new to the city.
Nabahani also said that most of those
arrested claimed ignorance of the ban on
street begging by the Kano State
Government.
“We plan to return all of them to their
various communities after making inquiries.
We will warn them never to return,” he
said.
One of those arrested said that his
community was facing famine, adding that
there was not much farm activities for him
to undertake.
Another batch of 15 beggars, which was
arrested by the board, was given
assistance by the state government to
start their own businesses.
The empowered beggars had taken an
oath not to return to the streets as the
board threatened to prosecute them if they
violated their oath. (NAN)
Nairaland GeneralHow Ilorin Pastor Drowned In Flood Water After Heavy Downpour by Akbee(op): 9:45am On Aug 06, 2014
i hope the mod wl move this to the appropriate section..its a pathetic story..hmmmmm
ILORIN —Tragedy struck, yesterday
morning in Ilorin, when a Pastor who was
a volunteer member of his Community
Development Association, was drowned in
a flood while creating pathway for the
water’s free flow in front of his house.
The over 10-hour rain in the state capital
started about midnight lasting till about
11am, yesterday
The deceased, according to residents in
Kilanko area of the state capital, where the
incident happened, used to create water
channels whenever there was such heavy
rain.
Vanguard reliably gathered that the
Pastor whose name was yet to be
ascertained at press time, was going about
his past time when he slipped and fell into
the gutter and the flood carried him away.
Unfortunately, there was nobody to rescue
him.
It was when the rains subsided some 30
minutes later that the residents discovered
that the pastor was missing.
A search party was quickly set up which
later found him dead inside a gully, about
500 metres from his house.
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed
the incident.
He said his remains had been deposited at
the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital,
UITH, morgue.

PoliticsKidnapping: Anambra Govt. Demolishes Church,3 Other Building by Akbee(op): 9:35am On Aug 06, 2014
AWKA— FOUR buildings, including a church, said to belong to suspected kidnappers were yesterday demolished in Anambra State.

It was part of the state government’s continued clampdown on criminals in the state.

Governor Willie Obiano has already revoked the Certificates of Occupancy, C of Os of the four buildings.

Two of the buildings, including the church, belonged to one Pastor Ifeanyi Nwaezeagu, General Overseer of Unchangeable God Ministries, Awkuzu, while the other two were located at Dusogu and Ifite villages also in Awkuzu.

The officer in charge of SARS in the state, Mr. James Nwafor; Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, Mr. Olafimihan Adeoye; Command’s Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, and Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Chief Chikaodi Anara, led a high powered team to the demolition sites and the parade of the suspects.

The DCP said Pastor Nwaezeagu had generated millions of naira as kidnap proceeds and was involved in the kidnap of many wealthy Anambra men, including a priest.

According to him, “Pastor Ifeanyi Nwaezeagu is fake and was engaging in kidnapping unnoticed until he was caught in 2013.

“His confessional statements led to the exposure of his gang before Governor Obiano revoked his C of O, leading to demolition of his church and buildings.”


One of his houses was marked Ozo Igbo Ndu (life saver) suspected to be his shrine, while the church was marked ‘’Unchangeable God,” with some Biblical quotations to go with it.

An indigene of the area, Mr. Chukwuchebe Nweke, said Pastor Nwaezeagu started his church in 1999, adding that they never knew he was into kidnapping and robbery until lately when police invaded his home and the church.

Police parade 15 suspects
The demolition came as the Anambra State Police command paraded 15 suspected kidnappers and robbers who were caught with sophisticated arms and ammunition. They were paraded at the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) headquarters, Awkuzu.

Among the weapons displayed by the police include one rocket launcher, one rocket, 50 magazines for AK-47, 300 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, among others

Addressing newsmen in Awkuzu, the PPRO said 10 of the suspects were kidnappers, while five were robbers and car snatching syndicate members using fake number plates.

He explained that the police had been diligent and applying due process in investigating the cases and smoking out kidnappers and robbers who have been terrorizing the state.

Two of the suspects, a dismissed army officer, one Prince Ndubuisi Friday and Ifeanyichuukwu Onuchukwu confessed to the crime.

Another suspect, Oliver Ifeanyi also confirmed that he received a snatched car, even as he claimed that he did not know that it was stolen.

Meningitis
Bacterial meningitis breaks out in
epidemics across sub-Saharan Africa,
causing a high fever, headaches and
vomiting. It involves a serious infection of
the lining around the brain and spinal
cord, and kills up to 10 per cent of patients
within 24 to 48 hours of symptoms
emerging.
The last epidemic, in 2009, affected 14
countries and led to more than 5,000
deaths, the biggest toll for almost 20
years.
Cholera
Once a disease that affected the whole
world, cholera still poses a threat in
developing countries, disaster areas and
conflict zones today.
There are up to five million cases, resulting
in 120,000 deaths, every year, according
to the WHO.
It is described as “an extremely virulent
disease” and a “global threat to public
health” by the agency, and can kill within
hours of drinking or using contaminated
water.
HealthRe: The 10 Biggest Threats To The World Health by Akbee(op): 6:17am On Aug 04, 2014
Viral hepatitis
On Monday 28 July, the WHO marked
World Hepatitis Day with a campaign to
urge the world to “think again” about a
group of infectious diseases that kill almost
1.4 million people every year.
In Kenya, where HIV/Aids was declared a
national disaster a decade ago, recent
figures showed that hepatitis infections
have surpassed HIV for the first time.
This year the focus of World Hepatitis Day
was particularly on Hepatitis C, one of
the five strands of the virus for which
there is no vaccine.
Hepatitis C affects 130 to 150 million people
around the world, and up to half a million
die each year from associated liver
diseases.
Measles
Around 84 per cent of the world’s children
have been vaccinated against measles ,
and a safe and cost-effective vaccine is
available globally.
Yet despite this, there are more than
120,000 deaths from measles every year –
the equivalent of around 14 child deaths
an hour.
The WHO describes measles as a “highly
contagious, serious disease”, which caused
2.6 million deaths a year as recently as
1980.
It is spread by coughing and sneezing,
and remains active and contagious in the
air for up to two hours.
HealthRe: The 10 Biggest Threats To The World Health by Akbee(op): 6:14am On Aug 04, 2014
H7N9 avian flu
As an example of the threat posed by
avian flu viruses generally, the strand
H7N9 is particularly concerning because it
leads patients to become “severely ill”, the
WHO said.
According to the agency’s most recent risk
assessment on the dangers of human
infections from H7N9, at least 450 cases
have been confirmed – resulting in 165
deaths. There remains a long-standing threat from
H5N1, which though rarer is fatal in two-
thirds of cases. And in February Chinese
scientists said newly-discovered H10N8
had “pandemic potential.
HIV/Aids
Though huge steps have been made in
research and treatment of HIV/Aids since
the discovery of the virus in the 1980s, it
still affects more than 35 million people
worldwide and contributed to the deaths of
around 1.5 million people in 2013.
The virus continues to be identified by the
WHO as a major global public health issue.
The agency estimates that it has claimed
a total of 39 million lives in 30 years.
While the effectiveness of antiretroviral
drugs means people with HIV can enjoy
healthy and productive lives, a cure
remains elusive because of the disease’s
ability to incorporate itself into 'reservoirs'
in our DNA, beyond the reach of drugs or
the immune system.

Polio
Polio is a highly infectious disease that
mainly affects children under five, and has
been the subject of a huge international
eradication effort since the 1988 World
Health Assembly.
In that time cases have reduced by 99 per
cent, but the virus remains endemic in
three countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria and
Pakistan.
The disease is incurable but entirely
preventable using a cheap and readily-
available vaccine. It invades the nervous
system and can cause total paralysis in a
matter of hours, with up to 10 per cent of
children then dying when their breathing
muscles stop working.
The WHO says that “as long as a single
child remains infected, children in all
countries are at risk of contracting polio”,
and that even now a global outbreak could
lead to 200,000 new cases every year
within a decade.

Plague
There is a commonly-held view that the
bubonic plague is a matter of interest only
in history books, rather than a viable
threat in the present day.
A bacterial infection, it wiped out roughly
half the population of Europe in the 14th
century and millions more during an
outbreak in China in the 19th century.
But the disease is still endemic to the Far
East, and returned to headlines this week
when a Chinese town of 30,000 was
placed on lockdown after the death of a
man
who investigators believe handled a
marmot – a small rodent – while farming.

Mers
Last month the WHO held its sixth
emergency committee meeting to discuss
the international response to the Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) virus,
which has now infected at least 839
people since it emerged in Saudi Arabia
two years ago, killing at least 291 of them.
While most cases are believed to involve
people who have been in direct contact
with camels in the Middle East, isolated
incidences have been reported across the
US, Asia and Europe – including Britain.

died in hospital having had no history of

raw camel products. Experts believe this adds to the growing

Infectious diseases can break out
suddenly, almost anywhere in the world,
and with devastating impacts. They have become a serious concern to world leaders
- from cholera to bird flu, here are 10 that
threaten populations around the globe.

Ebola
The aid organisation Médecins Sans
Frontières has described the Ebola
outbreak in West Africa as “out of control”.
There is no cure or specific treatment
beyond immediate intensive care.
The virus has now killed 660 people across
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since the
outbreak began in February. With a
mortality rate as high as 90 per cent in
some cases, it has put a terrible strain on
a string of weak health systems.
A growing number of health workers have
also themselves fallen victim to the
disease, despite stringent requirements
regarding the use of protective clothing
and visors. Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids. There is no cure for the disease.The only
treatment available is to keep the patient
hydrated – as would be the case with any
fever.

Nairaland GeneralMortician Arrested Over Stolen Corpse Of SAN by Akbee(op): 5:39am On Aug 04, 2014
ENUGU—Enugu State police command has
arrested the mortician in-charge of the
Christ Specialist Hospital, Enugu, from
where the corpse of Chief Theodore Ezeobi,
a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, was
reportedly stolen last Thursday morning.
Some unknown persons were said to have
broken into the mortuary and forcefully
removed the corpse of the legal
practitioner who passed on four months
ago.
He hailed from Osikwu village, Awgbu, in
Orumba North local government area of
Anambra State.
The Enugu State Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed to
Vanguard that the mortician on duty when
the corpse was stolen, was already being
interrogated with a view to ascertaining
how the corpse disappeared from the
morgue.
“It is a true story that the corpse of the
Senior Advocate of Nigeria from Anambra
State disappeared from a hospital in Enugu
and we are investigating the matter now.
“The mortician on duty that morning is in
our custody and he is helping us in our
investigations,” he said.
However, Vanguard learnt that the corpse
may have been taken somewhere in
Anambra State for the burial which was
scheduled for last Thursday.
The funeral, which was well advertised
was, however, aborted as security
operatives were said to have stormed the
village in search of those in possession of
the controversial corpse.
Sources said the first son to the deceased,
Theodore Junior Ezeobi, had placed a
newspaper advertorial in which he fixed
wake keep and the burial of his late father
for last Wednesday and Thursday
respectively.
But reports from the village said the wake
keep did not hold Wednesday night though
several canopies were set for the event at
the family compound.
It was gathered that while the son was
planning the funeral in line with the earlier
announcement, the daughter of the
deceased legal luminary, Chinelo Ezeobi,
placed a counter announcement, a
development that gave the villagers and
the deceased lawyer’s friends and
associates the impression that the family
was in dispute.
The burial posters for the late SAN which
was also signed by Theodore Junior for the
family, was displayed in some locations
within the town, including St. Theresa’s
Catholic Church where a burial mass was
billed to be held in his honour.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday
named an Assistant Inspector-General of
Police, Suleiman Abba, the new Inspector-
General of Police.
Abba, who until his appointment, was the
AIG in charge of Zone 7, takes over from
Muhammed Abubakar, who proceeded on
statutory retirement on Thursday.
Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, who
confirmed the change of guard in the
police top echelon in a statement, said
Abba’s appointment takes effect from
Friday.
The statement read, “President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan has approved the
appointment of AIG Suleiman Abba as the
new Inspector-General of Police.
“AIG Abba, currently the Assistant
Inspector-General of Police in charge of
Zone 7, comprising Abuja, Kaduna and
Niger states, replaces the incumbent
Inspector-General of Police, IGP
Mohammed Abubakar, who proceeds on
statutory retirement today having
completed 35 years in service.
“The incoming Inspector-General, a
lawyer, hails from Jigawa State and is an
alumnus of the Nigerian Institute of Policy
and Strategic Studies.
“Positions previously held by him in the
Police include Assistant Commissioner of
Police in charge of the Criminal
Investigation Department, FCT Command,
Deputy Force Secretary and Commissioner
of Police, Rivers State.
“His appointment is with effect from Friday,
August 1, 2014.”
The former IGP had led Abba to a closed-
door meeting with the President shortly
before his appointment was made public.
In an interaction with State House
correspondents after the meeting,
Abubakar thanked Nigerians for their
support.
He described the position of an IGP as
challenging but said the experience was
worth the while.

Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, has
expressed his desire to extend his contract
with Nigeria.
The AFCON-winning coach in a chat with
africanFootball.com from his base in the
United States said:”Yes, I met with Deji
Tinubu in Lagos before heading out for
America to see my family.
“It’s my country, I am ready to serve. I
have started something I would love to
finish.”
However, Keshi quickly added the working
conditions for his new deal have to be
better than what he had previously.
“But I cannot work the way I worked last
time. It’s not possible! All my staff, no!no!!
no!! We have to be professional, everybody
has to do what they are supposed to do,”
he stated.
“I cannot be paying another staff salary,
when I am not the Nigeria Football
Federation. We will see how it goes. If the
conditions are met, we will be there, no
wahala.”
In the meantime, the NFF has disclosed to
africanFootball.com that it will forward a
letter of intent for contract renewal this
week to the former Super Eagles captain.
Tinubu, the Head of a three-man
committee for Keshi’s contract renewal,
said: “We have made tremendous
progress.
“We will first send a letter of our intent for
a renewal of his contract and expect a
reply from him as quickly as possible.
“This would allow us to start working on
the terms of contract. We would have our
terms and we know he would have his
terms. But we would be working in such a
way that we would arrive at an agreeable
term that would suit both parties and then
hopefully he signs.
“We can’t put a time limit on this, but we
hope we are done with it as quick as
possible considering that we have a game
in September,” Tinubu stated.

Fatdon: [b]Ten Obvious Reasons Why
Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace #1 18,000 deadly terror attacks
committed explicitly in the name of
Islam in just the last ten years. (Other
religions combined for perhaps a
dozen or so). #2 Muhammad, the prophet of Islam,
had people killed for insulting him or
for criticizing his religion. This included
women. Muslims are told to emulate the
example of Muhammad. #3 Muhammad said in many places that he
has been "ordered by Allah to fight
men until they testify that there is no
god but Allah and that Muhammad is
his messenger." In the last nine years of
his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that. Muhammad inspired his men to war
with the basest of motives, using
captured loot, sex and a gluttonous
paradise as incentives. He beheaded
captives, enslaved children and raped
women captured in battle. Again, Muslims are told to emulate the
example of Muhammad. #4 After Muhammad died, the people who
lived with him and knew his religion
best immediately fell into war with
each other. Fatima, Muhammad's favorite daughter,
survived the early years among the
unbelievers at Mecca safe and sound,
yet died of stress from the
persecution of fellow Muslims only six
months after her father died. She even miscarried Muhammad's grandchild
after having her ribs broken by the
man who became the second caliph. Fatima's husband Ali, who was the
second convert to Islam and was
raised like a son to Muhammad, fought
a civil war against an army raised by
Aisha, Muhammad's favorite wife - and
one whom he had said was a "perfect woman." 10,000 Muslims were killed in a
single battle waged less than 25 years
after Muhammad's death. Three of the first four Muslim rulers
(caliphs) were murdered. All of them
were among Muhammad's closest
companions. The third caliph was killed
by allies of the son of the first (who
was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the
skin of a dead donkey and burned).
The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to
death after a bitter dispute with the
fifth. The fifth caliph went on to
poison one of Muhammad's two favorite grandsons. The other
grandson was later beheaded by the
sixth caliph. The infighting and power struggles
between Muhammad's family members,
closest companions and their children
only intensified with time. Within 50
short years of Muhammad's death,
even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in
ruins from internal Muslim war... And that's just the fate of those within
the house of Islam! #5 Muhammad directed Muslims to
wage war on other religions and bring
them under submission to Islam. Within
the first few decades following his
death, his Arabian companions invaded
and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands. A mere 25 years after Muhammad's
death, Muslim armies had captured
land and people within the borders of
over 28 modern countries outside of
Saudi Arabia. #6 Muslims continued their Jihad against
other religions for 1400 years, checked
only by the ability of non-Muslims to
defend themselves. To this day, not a
week goes by that Islamic
fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists
explicitly in the name of Allah. None of these other religions are at
war with each other. #7 Islam is the only religion that has to
retain its membership by threatening
to kill anyone who leaves. This is
according to the example set by
Muhammad. #8 Islam teaches that non-Muslims are
less than fully human. Muhammad said
that Muslims can be put to death for
murder, but that a Muslim could never
be put to death for killing a non-
Muslim. #9
The Qur'an never once speaks of Allah's
love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of
Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of
non-Muslims more than 500 times. #10 "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu
Akbar!"
