Man, known as Mr Chen, first went to the Beijing hospital in August 2011
Was treated for injuries sustained in a road traffic accident and left
Returned to the hospital two months later suffering from thrombosis
Received more treatment and after three months told that could go home
But he refused to leave saying he was ill and needed to be looked after
Hospital were then granted a court order to forcibly remove Mr Chen
He was taken home despite chaining himself with locks to his hospital bed

A patient has had to be cut free from his hospital bed in China and forcibly removed by police after chaining himself down and refusing to leave.

A court in Beijing ordered that the man, aged 55 and only known by his surname Chen, had to be removed from the hospital after living there for more than three years.

But when police turned up to at the hospital yesterday afternoon, they discovered that he had chained himself to the bed railings.
After being treated, he went home after a month but two months later returned complaining of pains in his left leg.

Again doctors treated him after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and three months later said he was ready to go ho
But Mr Chen refused, saying he was in so much pain that he was unable to straighten out his legs.

He said it was the hospital's responsibility to take care of him and refused to leave, even missing his son's wedding.

The hospital stopped providing him with treatment in July 2012, after he was unable to pay any of his medical bills

They were then granted a court ordered earlier in the week to have Mr Chen forcibly removed from his hospital bed.

It came after tests were carried out that showed he was healthy, even though he disputed this.

It is thought that he was taken back to his home in the Mentougou district of Beijing.

Developments in the foreign exchange market are putting the Central Bank of Nigeria under intense pressure to further devalue the naira. Our currency has been experiencing free fall since November 25, 2014 when the CBN Monetary Policy Committee devalued it by eight per cent from 155 to 168 to the dollar.

Following Saturday’s announcement of the postponement of the general elections by six weeks, the Naira on Monday again plunged from 188 to 200 against the dollar.

The Bankers’ Committee gave the hint of further devaluation on Thursday just as the nation’s External Reserves dropped by $1bn in 12 days.

The committee which comprises the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, the deputy governors, chief executive officers of Deposit Money Banks and other stakeholders, said the managers of the economy, including the CBN, were currently seeking a new level to devalue the already battered Naira.

Members of the committee met for over three hours in Lagos to review developments in the banking sector and the economy, among other issues.

The meeting, which was chaired by the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, later appointed the Managing Director, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, Segun Agbaje; Managing Director, FCMB, Ladi Balogun; Managing Director, CitiBank Nigeria, Omar Hafeez; and Director, Banking Supervision, CBN, Tokunbo Martins, to brief the press on some of its deliberations.

Agbaje said the currency was going through a period of "price discovery" to determine a new level:
"Where we are now is that oil prices are down. As a country, we are trying to find what level the currency devalues to. There is no central bank in the world that allows a free flow of its currency. What you do is try to find a price discovery and find a rate at which you can live with. I think we are going through that process in Nigeria. That is why at the last MPC meeting, the CBN devalued and also moved the midpoint of the naira. What you are seeing in the interbank market is again some price discovery.”

The naira hit a record low of 206.60 against the dollar on Thursday at the interbank market, and dealers halted electronic trading for the second consecutive day.

Don't judge me on my days as Military Ruler, this is democracy — Buhari

General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC spoke on Christiane Amanpour’s programme on CNN, saying it’s unfair to judge him today by his antecedents in 1984 when he was a military head of state.

The APC presidential candidate said it would be harsh to judge him against his record as a military dictator in a democratic setting just as he welcomed President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement.

Speaking on a live CNN interview anchored by Amanpour, he affirmed that the Boko Haram insurgency would be routed by his administration through blocking corruption and other leakages.

Tasked that Nigerians were faced with the difficult option of choosing between a failed president and a former military dictator with a bad human rights record, Buhari said:

“All those things you mentioned were done under military administration; if we did not suspend the constitution then, it would have been difficult for us to operate under those circumstances. So I do not think I should be judged as an individual for those things that happened then.”
Welcoming the endorsement of President Obasanjo, he said: “Well it will certainly bring more supporters to us and more confidence for those who were sitting on the fence because General Obasanjo is highly respected and as far as the nation is concerned, there is no issue that can be deliberated upon without people seeking his opinion.”

Describing the shift of the election dates as unfortunate, Buhari said: “That is a disappointment because the presentation made by the INEC was that they were ready to conduct the elections on the date chosen a year ago. And for them to be forced virtually by the military that they cannot guarantee the safety of their workers and shift it by six weeks.

owobokiri:
Obasanjo,, Babangida, Abubakar,, Danjuma, Tinubus, Sarakis, Igbinedions, Iboris, Odili/Amechi and co, NNPCs head espeecially one Obasanjo proteege named Gius Obaseki that used call Nigerias oil "my crude" with his twisted mouth. . atiku, 99% of ex and serving governors, 99% of ex and serving ministers, 99% of ex and serving LGA bosses, 99% of business men that became whatever they are through government dirty busineses. Most traditional rulers who get "settled" periodically by serving government officials etc. But the papa of corruption in Nigeria na Obasanjo! He invented kleptomania Nigeriana way back in the 70s. That man ehñ. .

Bias lists,

Why is GEJ missing from the list?

Why is President Jonathan using Boko Haram for Politics?

At the headquarters of the revival service of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement in Ijesha, Lagos this Saturday, President Goodluck Jonathan attempted to scare Pastor Lazarus Muoka by telling him that Boko Haram, the north Nigeria terrorizing group had planned to come down south, had it not been checked by his administration.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Jonathan said, “The idea of the group was to start from the centre of the country and then move to bring the whole country down.”

When I read this, I, like many others, did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Immediately I understood and actually empathized with Pastor Bishop David Oyedepo. It was clear why he declared that he was anointed to lead the crusade against Boko Haram in that fiery speech; and promised to rip out their gullets and make crimson rivers flow...

Pastor Oyedepo had relayed that he too had received a “report” that “Boko Haram” had planned to attack his Church. I am not sure what else Goodluck told him about the “planned attack” and how and who Goolduck told pastor Oyedepo the Boko Haram was; but I have quite a good idea based on some of the things the revered pastor said, including “must the north continue to rule,” and that “the north population cannot be more than Lagos.”

Reading what Jonathan told Pastor Lazarus, it became clear Jonathan’s campaign message across the many Churches he has been patronizing: Boko Haram was coming for you, I am your defender, I stopped them from coming to the South; put your trust and your congregation’s vote in me. Amen.

This is tragic, low and dangerous. The damages our president is trying hard and investing billions, “6” to be precise to sow in this nation will long outlive the four year term he is aggressively doing it for even if he does get the term. He exigently needs to be stopped.

Firstly, Boko Haram NEVER planned to attack the South! What? It takes just a motorcycle and a few electric devices, a cell phone and a single man for Boko Haram to successfully bomb anywhere in Nigeria they so wish. Jonathan should stop praying for and stimulating evil he cannot contain. He must stop conjuring harm and death on the South or even fired a single round. We thank God that Boko Haram had a sole plan to destroy the north and the north only. At least, the South is spared. For five years, Boko Haram never set of a single bomb in the South. It is not because of Jonathan or his security agents; it is because attacking the south was NEVER in Boko Haram’s covert contract.

Political Boko Haram terrorists were interested in bombing up the North to kill northern dwellers and anger and scare out Southerners. And territorial Boko Haram insurgents were dedicated to the mission to capture the north starting from the northeast, raping and killing any and everyone in sight and displacing everyone else. There was never a South mission of Boko Haram.

I challenge President Jonathan to provide any evidence of intelligence supporting his “Boko Haram planned to go South campaign.” And what did he mean by saying they “started from the center?” Are there two Nigerias? Is he still claiming the Abuja independence day mischievous blast that MEND claimed responsibility for and accused him orchestrating was done by “northern elements”…who “are Boko Haram?” I could have sworn we were past this.

Seriously Nigeria should not continue to allow this type of senseless and dangerous patronage of Boko Haram for political campaign “gains” and INEC blackmail. When is this rubbish going to stop?

There is nothing to rejoice about Boko Haram’s pogrom. Nothing to be proud of.

Somebody please call Mr. President to order. Nigeria is more than one man and his looting ambition.

Dr. Peregrino Brimah

Scheming for another two year,apart from his constitutional four years and the additional one year?Why are some people blind to the truth?Why can't they see that Jonathan has no plans for this country?He want to replace Attahiru Jega(the man who dutifully conducted the 2011 presidential election).Why?Jonathan is a disaster.He can't do anything except create additional problems for this country.

GEJ & Co should be careful in order not to end up like Laurent gbagbo of Ivory Coast who is now in Hague.
Otuoke, here Jonathan comes! MEND AND MASSOB CAN'T SAVE YOU.

Hmmmm,
Scheming for two years extension is like plotting a military coup. GEJ & Co should be careful in order not to end up like Laurent gbagbo of Ivory Coast who is now in Hague.
Otuoke, here Jonathan comes! MEND AND MASSOB CAN'T SAVE YOU.

Cissy Houston, grandmother to Miss Brown, suggested the family turn off the machine so that the 21-year-old could be allowed to die on Wednesday, which will be the same date as her late mother.

Singer Whitney Houston died on February 11, 2012, after being found in a bath at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Bobbi Kristina’s family want to let her die tomorrow, the same date as mother Whitney Houston after deciding to turn off her life support

Relatives of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who has been in a medically induced coma for more than 10 days, have reportedly agreed to let her die tomorrow - the same date as her mother.

The daughter of the late Whitney Houston, and singer Bobby Brown, was found face down in a bath tub and was later discovered with bruises over her body and face. She has been in a medically induced coma ever since and relatives are now thought to be discussing allowing her to die tomorrow, page six reported.

A police source told DailyMail.com on Thursday that Miss Brown's life support had already been turned off, but patients can live for a number of days after this artificial assistance has been withdrawn. Bobby Brown said the claims were false

The news that Miss Brown's family may be preparing for her death come after around 500 family members and fans gathered for an emotional candelit vigil to pray for the recovery of Miss Brown in a Shining a Light for Healing vigil, held in Georgia, on Monday evening.

Since Miss Brown was admitted to hospital the Brown and Houston families have reportedly been at loggerheads.

'This is the only thing they can agree on — that she's gone, and there's nothing more than can be done for her,' a source told pagesix.

Bruises were discovered on Miss Brown after she was admitted into hospital, sparking a police investigation into possible domestic abuse. But friends of the 21-year-old's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, claimed the marks on her chest were made as he tried to revive her.

Miss Brown was found face down in a bathtub of a home in the 9000 block of Riverbend Manor in Roswell, Georgia, more than a week ago,

The 21-year-old has been in a medically induced coma since January 31.

No charges have been filed in the case, but police are investigating suspected abuse and drug use.

They are also looking into suspicious injuries to Bobbi Kristina's face and mouth, reported WSB-TV

Brown's relatives have said Miss Brown is in a hospital 'fighting for her life.'

Around 500 people gathered for the vigil on Monday evening, singing gospel songs and saying prayers for the recovery of Miss Brown.

The vigil, which also include the recitation of passages from scripture, was led by Bishop Donald Battle.

Documentary producer Daphne Barak, who is friends with Miss Browns boyfriend, Nick Gordon, said that he told her over the phone how he left marks on his girlfriend's chest while performing compressions in a desperate bid to revive her.

'Nick told me that the bruises were from his CPR,' Barak said, according to RadarOnline.

He speaks in parables lol

JONATHAN FAILED DESPITE BEING 4TH LONGEST SERVING PRESIDENT IN NIGERIA
The truth is, I get angry when ever I read anyone saying Jonathan has ruled for a short period, I feel like giving such a person a dirty slap for being a member of the almajiri school of thought. lol
Please, can you explain what you mean by Jonathan ruling for a short period? Only 3 former presidents had rule more than Jonathan In terms of years, how is that a short period?

Madonna, who at one point turned from the cameras and lifted her skirt up flash her thong-clad derriere, sent Twitter into a fashion feeding frenzy, with many likening her to a 'matador'.

When Ms Rancic told Charli XCX that she has 'really stepped outside the box', the Boom Clap singer replied: 'I hate boring fashion. I wanted to so something 80s and fabulous. I like unpredictable.'

Ex Pussycat Dolls star Kaya Jones, 30, made sure she stood out with her ruffled black gown - which was hitched up to just below the knee - and the yards of fabric that trailed behind it. Ms Jones bundled her lurid red hair atop her head and wore lashings of heavy make-up to finish her look.

Rita Ora, Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton also made some cringeworthy fashion faux pas. Miss Ora's shiny sequinned dress made her look more like an award than an award-winner, while Miss Hilton's outfit that would have been more at home on the set of Dancing With The Stars.

And Miss Trainor's sheer lace dress was ruined by the minidress beneath which came off too gray under the bright red carpet lights.

The Grammys Hall of Shame: Rihanna, Rita Ora and buttock-baring 'Matador' Madonna lead the WORST dressed list on the LA red carpet

It's music's biggest night of the year, and all eyes were on the red carpet as stars arrived to the 57th Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately for Madonna, jaws were dropping for all the wrong reasons. The 56-year-old star's ample chest was spilling out of her disastrous Givenchy burlesque get-up, complete with corset, leather gloves, fishnet stockings, and thigh-high boots.

Barbadian beauty Rihanna, 26, resembled a giant cupcake when she arrived swamped in a frothy lurid pink Giambattista Valli creation. And British crooner Charli XCX, 22, left host E host Giuliana Rancic, 40, almost lost for words when she turned up in a shiny Pink Panther-esque Moschino tuxedo and powder pink faux fur shrug.

Massive: Rihanna, meanwhile, turned up in this staggeringly frou-frou pink dress which she claimed to have bought on the internet

Angela Garvin’s alarm goes off at 6.30am every day. As a legal adviser, she has to be up early, and has a strict skin regime to get through.

First, she cleanses her face, then she dabs on some toner — and reaches for a bottle of shaving gel. She applies it across her chin, top lip and a small area around her neck.

Then, using a men’s disposable razor, she carefully shaves her face, rinsing the fine, pale hairs down the basin as she goes. To finish, she rinses with warm water and applies moisturiser.

According to beauty enthusiasts — or pretty much any woman you care to ask — Angela has committed a cardinal sin.

After all, if shaving your legs encourages hair to grow back thicker, darker and stronger, then, for a woman, face-shaving would appear to invite disaster.

Nevertheless, Angela, 46, from Essex, has been shaving her face three times a week for the past eight years and couldn’t be happier with the results.

And she’s not alone; dermatologists also endorse the idea and, astonishing as it may sound, a host of products have been rushed out to cater for the trend of women shaving their faces.

‘It’s cheap, takes seconds and doesn’t irritate my skin, unlike laser or waxing,’ says Angela. ‘The claim that facial hair grows back thicker and darker is a myth. It’s been the best thing I could have started doing.’ What’s more surprising is that far from causing ingrowing hairs, nasty grow-back or red raw patches, Angela is adamant that regular shaving has improved her complexion.

‘Make-up goes on more evenly and easily, products absorb better and my skin is in great condition. It’s the smoothest and brightest it’s been in years,’ she says

What’s more, Dr Prager also rubbishes the idea the hair will grow back thicker.

‘The notion that shaving influences regrowth is wrong,’ he says.

‘Cutting off hair above the root won’t cause any feedback to the follicle, which is the live part that produces the hair and sits below the skin.

‘People might think hair looks thicker because it comes out at a different angle or blunt, rather than tapered to a natural point, but it won’t be changed on a cellular level.’ Dermatologist Dr Neal Schultz even claims shaving is why men are said to age better than women.

‘Most men shave their faces — and thereby exfoliate two-thirds of their face — regularly for years,’ he says.

Should every woman SHAVE her face?

A surfer whose bum was mauled by a shark drove himself to hospital after the terrifying attack.

Jabez Reitman, 35, thought he’d confronted a dolphin but was actually bitten by a 2-to-3-metre (7-to-10ft) shark off the coast of Byron Bay, 500 miles north of Sydney, Australia.

‘I just freaked out,’ Jabez said. ‘I thought it was a dolphin at first until I started feeling and realized it was pretty significant lacerations.

‘I should’ve stayed in bed.’

Police said he drove himself to Byron Bay Hospital and was later taken to Gold Coast University Hospital.

He is reported to be in a stable condition.

A 50-year-old swimmer was killed by a shark at Byron Bay in September.

sentiment apart is it normal for AIG to pay toll fee on official duty. I think his convoy should not stop, unless he wishes.

We have some many important living on that axis and they have neva for one consituted nuisance!

"The police chief had last week ordered the detention of some LCC officials and policemen attached to the company after his convoy of six vehicles was asked to pay toll fees."

I don't really know what transpired here but if senior military officers do pay this toll fees then there's nothing wrong if he's ask to pay



"The LCC official was said to have retorted: “Who is the AIG? He should follow procedure and pay the toll."----this statement here is kinda rude

Dats a pure lie.....even police officers in uniforms don't pay toll....how come they will ask AIG to pay?
Police,Nigeria Army,local rulers,lasambus,fire service etc don't pay toll!!!

The following bible scriptures will help!
• A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel. (Proverbs 1:5)

• Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. (Proverbs 9:9)

• Where there is no guidance, the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory. (Proverbs 11:14)

• The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. (Proverbs 12:15)

• A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise. (Proverbs 15:12)

• The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly. (Proverbs 15:14)

• Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22)

• Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers; blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. (Proverbs 16:20)

• By wise guidance you will wage war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. (Proverbs 24:6)

• Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear. (Proverbs 25:12 NIV)

• Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own (Proverbs 26:17 NIV)

Apc wil definately win.
Even if GEJ likes he should visit MFM, Deeper life,C&S, CCC, christ embassy etc apart from winners, RCCG and lord choosen he had visited, he will still lose.
