Judging from his corporate shirt, distressed jeans, swaggalicious trainers and over all profile, its obvious that it wasn't that excess drink that killed him rather he died of FRUSTRATION in life.

Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the
standardism of everyday life, out
of everything being the same. It
yanks you out of your body and
your mind and throws you against
the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide
where you're allowed to return to
life and begin all over the next
day. It's like killing yourself, and
then you're reborn. I guess I've
lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now. RIP TO THE MAN. "WELL I HIT FRONT PAGE FOR D 1ST TIME"

Your Excellency Sir, I write to you as a grossly disadvantaged Nigerian especially as you have
so declared from far away USA during your last visit there. Let me start by saying that the USA is not the right country where a sitting President should make such inflammatory, misguided, needless and discriminatory remark that conveys vengeance against his own people simply because of their democratic
choice. This singular declaration which only confirms what many have already known about your avowed dislike for the people that make up the 5% in your statement was a deadly fly in the fine ointment of your well publicised visit to the United States of America,
a country that strongly believes in the equality of all men and women irrespective of their race, tongue, class, political inclination or religious belief. As a grossly disadvantaged Nigerian, having hailed from the South Eastern part of this great country myself, I write you with a bleeding heart knowing full well that the next four years would be a total waste for fellow Nigerians who hail from that region and our South South brothers except for anticipated God’s continued intervention. At least, this much we can deduce from your statement in reference. Since that infamous statement, our disadvantaged position has been elevated to an official level with alacrity. One then wonders what will happen to those who christened you “Okechukwu” with fanfare during your visits to the “disadvantaged” land in the run up to the last elections? What happened to the memories the Isi Agu attire you wore with relish while you courted the people for votes? Did you bear the name “Okechukwu” and wore the attire with one part of your heart while the other reserved punishment for us? Or is it that the Rochas Okorochas, Ogbonnaya Onus and Chris Ngiges did not have good enough people to recommend to you as (Senior) Special Assistants or even (Acting DGs) since none from the disadvantaged states have been appointed by you so far? If not for divine intervention that made some legislators go on a
needless errand to the International Conference Centre, Abuja, for a non-existent meeting, and were there till the electoral proceedings ended in the Senate, without knowledge of what was going on despite advancement in communication tools, Ike Ekweremadu would not have emerged Deputy Senate President. Your party was also strongly against the emergence of Godswill Akpabio as Minority Leader while your intervention in the leadership crisis of the House of Representatives saw that no one from the South East was a principal officer despite the Speaker’s more fairly proposal for the distribution of offices to all regions. Need we say more? You have predicated your 97% vs 5% stance on the percentage of votes you received from the “disadvantaged” regions but history has shown that this is not the case as you have always given the people especially Ndigbo the harsh and vengeful treatment even when you occupied offices that did not require their votes. For example, even when you did not need anybody’s vote to be appointed the chairman of the defunct Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF), what did you do for these disadvantaged states? Did you fare any better then than you are doing today? Before I am persecuted for sounding ethnic, let me remind you of what one Wale Adedayo, a Yoruba from Ijebu Ife, wrote about you in Sahara Reporters on 13th of November, 2010, in the run up to the 2011 elections: “As PTF Chairman, you were an ethnic champion with the way projects under your supervision were executed. The Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, Shagamu/Benin Expressway and their Ibadan/ Ilorin counterpart became death traps because you deliberately ignored these national arteries of commerce and social mobilisation due to a myopic vision of ‘punishing’ the Yoruba Nation for standing up to Abacha. The restiveness in the Niger Delta region would have been contained a bit if the funds under your supervision as PTF Chairman were used effectively to put in place good infrastructure in the oil producing areas, where you got the money from. Instead, between 80% - 90% of PTF activities were concentrated in the Nort-West sub-region, which is your home area. And in the South- East, the deplorable state of the roads there is more than enough proof that the PTF under your watch was more interested in other places. You did nothing there.”
Kindly reflect on this and consider how you want Nigerians, even generations unborn, to remember you long after you have left this world. The time to do the right thing is now. Do not give the 5% appointments simply because the constitution say so but endeavour to tap into their wealth of experience and entrepreneurship just like you would be expected to do to the other regions to make Nigeria better for all of us especially when the disadvantaged regions produce the bulk of the wealth you shall be using to develop the more fancied 97% regions. It is absolutely uncharitable of you to put the north in a state of odium before other regions for decades to come as a result of your actions or inactions. Remember, the whole of Nigeria, and not just a part of it, is your constituency once you assumed leadership of the country. How you are remembered after your presidency is entirely your choice!

dailypost.ng/2015/08/15/bristow-helicopter-crash-official-explains-why-release-of-manifest-is-delayed/

The delay in the official release of the names contained in the manifest of the ill-fated helicopter
that crashed into Lagos lagoon on Wednesday has been attributed to the need to get consent of
the deceased families. A management source from the
Bristow Helicopters Ltd, owners of the
crashed helicopter, told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the
condition of anonymity, on Saturday in
Lagos, that the airline was still contacting the victims’ families. He said that their client, SEDCO oil
platform offshore, was still contacting
the victims’ families and would
approve the release of the victims’
names in a few days. “We cannot release the victims’ names
without the consent of our client,
SEDCO Oil, which is still in regular
contact with families of the victims,”
he said. According to him, the withholding of
the names was in accordance with
International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) Annex 13.
He said also that the airline and the
accident investigators lack the capacity to disclose the names on the
manifest. The source, however, called on the
public to exercise little patience with
the airline and appropriate authorities
in releasing the manifest. “Even though we have submitted the
manifest to the Accident Investigation
Bureau (AIB), we will still have to give
them the marching order to release it
with the consent of the victims’
families. “You and I know that Bristow would
have been ordered to release the
manifest because of the investigation
the bureau is carrying out and it is
something they ought to have because
of the nature of their job they are doing at the moment,” he said. Dr Felix Abali, the AIB Commissioner,
had said on Friday that the bureau did
not have the power to make the
victims’ names public until the airline
contacted the victims’ families. Abali said he was in touch with the
airline and would make the names
public immediately he received the nod
from the airline.
He said that aviation protocol must be
observed before the manifest would be released. “The families must be briefed first. It is
the responsibility of the airlines to
release the manifest, they have to
contact the families first before they
release it to the public,” he said. NAN recalls that the Sikosky 76
helicopter marked 5N-BGD crashed
into the Lagos lagoon as it approached
Murtala Muhammed Airport, in Ikeja.
Six of the 12 passengers on board in
the helicopter died while six others were rescued and taken to hospital.

The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, on Sunday held a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Though details of the 45 minutes meeting were not disclosed, Mr. Umahi told journalists that he came to show appreciation to Mr. Obasanjo for his non- partisan attitude to national matters.
“We also came here to thank you for the manners and the ways you have been using the wisdom of God to assist in piloting the
affairs of our nation. I thank you very greatly sir. I believe very strongly that what transpired during the election is actually the will of God. And we have the opportunity to right the wrong.
“There is no administration that wouldn’t have some ills but the most important thing is the ability and the knowledge and wisdom to identify them like you just advised me here; all those good ones continue with them, the bad ones you can always right them,” he said.
The governor also had words of praise for President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he pledged support for.
“And I use the opportunity to thank Mr. President sir and to say one of the greatest things that will move this nation forward is forthrightness and Mr. President has displayed that. In our meetings, every of the governors, we are very pleased with him. It’s not a question of being in this party or being in the other party.
“He displays rare sense of humility, honesty and the willingness to carry this country forward. And that’s what we are looking for. We are not interested in which party or the other party. We are interested in the man who has the welfare and the interest of the nation at hand. His directive to stop many accounts of NNPC, I’m sure you are gladdened because I had discussed that with you and you complained bitterly about the way NNPC was being run; when they keep more money than what they give the federal government.
“So, we thank you and I want to say Sir that you continue to support Mr. President, General Buhari, and I’m very sure with you sir by his side, he is going to deliver in his promises,” Mr. Umahi said. Opposed to salary cut Speaking further, the governor stated his opposition to salary cuts for elected officials, saying that was not the solution to the current cash crunch confronting many states.
President Buhari recently announced a 50 per cent reduction in his salary and that of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, while some state governors also announced similar cuts.
Mr. Umahi said such offer of reduction in the salaries of elected politicians would be too meagre to address the current financial problems confronting many of the states. He said he would not slash his salary because such a measure was not the solution required to address the current economic doldrums being experienced in the country. “The major issue is to be honest to the people, it’s to deploy the resources God has given the people, don’t cheat them, don’t steal their money. What we take as political leaders, what is due to us is really very meagre. “I earn about N600,000 a month; so if I cut it down to 50 percent, that’s N300,000. That is not the kind of money the society is looking for. They are asking whatever is due to us, give it to us and I believe in that,” Mr. Umahi said. He, however, assured that his administration would ensure the development of Ebonyi State, adding, “We have taken very major step in addressing the growth of our state, Ebonyi. We’ve taken decisive steps. Right now, we are auditing our workforce; we think our workforce is not right. We are also doing everything to bring investors into these mineral resources I told you and agricultural sector. These are what we are doing. Definitely in 100 days, you’d see a lot but you’d see a plan that is installed and you expect a steady growth. So what you see in 100 days is beyond 100 days; it’s well articulated plans for the greatness of our state, Ebonyi.” He said the dwindling prices of oil in the international market was a blessing in disguise to the country as this had compelled Nigeria to think seriously about tapping other natural resources and diversifying her economy. “We already have five gigantic rice mills in Ebonyi State,” he said. “What we don’t have is money and we’ve been asking the federal government to
give us funds.” “CBN governor, a very wonderful man, is giving Ebonyi State attention, he has written us since the banning importation of rice, which is what is supposed to be done. “I don’t see the reason why we should import food into Nigeria. I don’t see why we should import toothpick in Nigeria, import vegetable oil; that’s quite absurd and I think they have taken decisive steps to address all those. We have quite vast land, very good for rice production, very good for cassava, maize and we have a lot of mineral resources like limestone, salt, bauxite, zinc, lead, copper and quite a lot of them. So, what we need is assistance from federal government so that we can develop them. The Ebonyi governor reiterated the decision of the governors of the South East states against the planned transfer of some Boko Haram inmates
to the area, stressing that the prisoners were not welcome in any of the states in the region.

JULY 12, 2015 : ADELANI
ADEPEGBA, ABUJA Leave a Comment The Economic Commission for Africa
has adjudged Nigeria as one of the
best three performers among 23
countries in accomplishing activities of
the African Road Safety Action plan. The commission listed Nigeria, Ghana
and South Africa as the leading
countries with clear prospects of
accomplishing the activities of the
African Road Safety Action Plan. It added that 40 per cent of member
countries are in the process of
implementing more road safety
management activities. The ECA gave the rating in a mid-term
review report from the Third African
Road Safety Conference in Addis
Ababa, according to a statement on
Sunday in Abuja by the Head, Media
and Strategy, Federal Road Safety Corps, Bisi Kazeem. The statement said the Corps Marshall,
Boboye Oyeyemi, in his reaction to the
ranking, appreciated the Federal
Government’s efforts in ensuring that
enduring road safety culture was
continually imbibed. He also lauded “the resilience of the
officers and men of the Corps.” Oyeyemi pledged that the Corps would
not rest on its oars, but will rather
continue to devise ways to improve on
its achievements and meet the
standards of the UN Decade of Action
for Road Safety declaration. According to the ECA report,
performance of the plan is measured
based on road safety management,
mobility, vehicles, road users and post-
crash response. It noted that varying results had defined
the afore-listed performance indicators,
given that some countries record high
rates of successes in some areas, but
record low performances in others. The commission however observed that
progress had been made. “More than 30 per cent of countries
have not taken significant steps to
harmonize data processing formats,
and use of international standards in
reporting road safety incidents;
countries are encouraged to invest in research and develop safety audits,”
the ECA stated.

One of the security sources said one person was killed, as well as the bomber, while a hospital source said four people were being treated for injuries.

When it comes to patents, companies would love to have as many as possible – after all, you can never tell just how useful they can become in the future, taking into consideration how innovation from different companies might require them to make use of your idea. Having said that, we reported at the beginning of this month that Samsung holds pole position when it comes to patent filings for wearable technology, but the trick is to translate all of those patents into success in the marketplace via innovative and popular products. With that, we bring you word that Samsung has just picked up a patent for near invisible virtual buttons. Yes sir, this patent was recently approved by the USPTO, where the near invisible virtual buttons happen to be active areas that are located close to the edge of a touchscreen. This will then be able to, for instance, give the camera app a launch. I suppose you can refer to these as “sensor pads”, and thankfully, they are not restricted to a single function only, since you have the choice of mapping it to various other functions. It remains to be seen how these will end up as reality, and how they will be implemented in upcoming devices will need to be answered as well, but hopefully the day would arrive sooner rather than later.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria: An explosion was heard in Nigeria's northeastern city of Maiduguri early on Saturday, a Reuters witness and security sources said.

The security sources could not immediately confirm the location or the nature of the blast.

The city, the birthplace of Islamist militant group Boko Haram, is frequently hit by bomb attacks.
