PoliticsRe: Ali Modu sheriff, In Secret Visit To arms-laden Chad-bound plane by boman2014(op): 6:42pm On Dec 07, 2014
A former governor of Borno
State, Ali Modu Sheriff, widely
accused of sponsoring Boko
Haram insurgents in Nigeria,
may be lobbying for the release
of the Chad-bound cargo
aircraft confiscated in Kano for
transporting large consignment
of military hardware, PREMIUM
TIMES can report today.

Sahara Reporters Media
Sources at the Aminu Kano
International Airport, where the
plane is currently detained, said
Mr. Sheriff visited the Kano
airport at about 10 p.m. on
Saturday and held discussions
with some officials on the
possibility of releasing the
aircraft.
Our sources said on arriving the
airport, officials allowed the
former governor a secret tour of
the aircraft, during which he
inspected its consignments.
“I was there and I saw him and
two airport security officials
accompanying him to inspect
the plane. I saw the black
helicopters and two bullet proof
SUVs,” one of our sources said.
“I also heard him (Mr. Sheriff)
say verbal directive had been
given from Abuja for the release
of the plane but that authorities
of the airport were insisting on
written directive.”
Mr. Sheriff could not be reached
to comment for this story. His
known mobile telephone
number was switched off for
several hours that PREMIUM
TIMES called Saturday. He is also
yet to reply a text message sent
to him.
The Manager of the Kano
Airport, a Mr. Adamu, told
PREMIUM TIMES he is in Abuja
and was therefore unaware of
Mr. Sheriff’s tour of the detained
aircraft.
The former Borno governor is a
close ally of both the Nigerian
president, and the government
of Chad – the plane’s final
destination.
A 2010 Intelligence report by a
Nigerian security agency
suggested that Mr. Sheriff was
personally involved in the
recruitment, training and
dispatch of Boko Haram
fighters, under the full cover of
Idris Deby, the Chadian
president.
Chad is Nigeria’s neighbour.
Laying on Nigeria’s northeast
shoulder, and sharing long
distances of unregulated
borders, it is considered a
window to safety for Boko
Haram fighters.
An Australian negotiator
engaged by the Nigerian
government to bring Boko
Haram insurgents to the
negotiation table, Stephen
Davies, also spoke of how the
insurgents named Mr. Sheriff as
one of their sponsors during his
conversations with the
terrorists.
Airport officials told PREMIUM
TIMES Mr. Sheriff’s verbal
pressures to let the plane go
was turned down. He was asked
to get written permission from
“ogas at the top” – authority
high up in Abuja – our sources
said.
After inspecting the plane and
holding discussions with local
officials, Mr. Sheriff reportedly
left for Abuja, Nigeria’s capital
city, in a private jet at about
11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Security operatives at the Kano
Airport had seized the plane
when it landed at the facility at
about 2a.m. Saturday as a result
of technical problems. Crew
members of the airplane were
immediately detained while
investigations continued,
officials said.
“Security has since been beefed
up at the airport in order to
ensure proper investigation,”
the officials added. The General
Manager, Communications,
Federal Airport Authority of
Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti,
confirmed the seizure of the
plane.
He said the pilot sought
permission to land at the airport
after the plane developed
problems. “The plane had a
technical problem and the pilot
sought (for) permission to land
at the airport’’, he said.
Mr. Datti said security agencies
had since commenced
investigation into the matter.
Security sources told PREMIUM
TIMES the plane was travelling
to N’djamena, the capital of
Chad. PR Nigeria, an agency
known for distributing press
statements on behalf of the
Nigerian military, later circulated
a statement saying the aircraft
contained “a chopper tucked in
it”.
“… Intense investigation is
ongoing including using
diplomatic means to unravel the
mission of the aircraft, its origin
and destination,” the statement
said. This is the third time since
2009 that planes loaded with
arms would be arrested in Kano,
our correspondent says. The
detained planes were later
released after investigations.
The destination of the latest
aircraft has however raised
concerns amid increasing
worries in Nigeria over Chad’s
alleged role in the Boko Haram
insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s
northeast. The plane and its
consignment was initially
thought to originate from
Russia but the Russian Embassy
in Abuja issued a statement
denying ownership of the
AH-124-100 heavy military
transport aircraft.
Air cargo experts describe it as
one of the biggest serial and
strategic heavy lifters in the
world. It is intended for the
transportation of heavy and
oversized cargo and various
special-purpose vehicles.
Although in commercial use too,
the Russian military is beloved
to own 14 of the AN-124-100
version of the jumbo cargo jet,
manufactured by the Russian
Antonov.

RomanceMan Caught Having Sex Withdonkey, Claims Prostitute changed To The Animal by boman2014(op): 6:36am On Nov 30, 2014
A man was arrested after he
was caught having sex with a
donkey.
However, the man told a court
that he paid a woman for sex,
but she somehow turned into a
donkey.
28-year-old Sunday Moyo of
Mandava, Zvishavane,
Zimbabwe, was arrested after
being accused of bestiality.
The man was brought before
Magistrate Mildred Matuvi.
A police officer on routine patrol
caught Moyo performing a
sexual act on the animal inside
his yard about 4:00 a.m. on a
Sunday morning.
The donkey had been tied and
was unable to escape the abuse.
In court, Moyo admitted
committing the crime, but told
the judge a story that got
everyone in court laughing.
Moyo said that he did not realize
he was having sex with the
donkey until the officer stopped
him.
“I had hired a prostitute at
DownTown night club and paid
her ZAR220 ($20) for her
services. I do not know how she
became a donkey,” Moyo said in
court. http://www.radar.ng/oddity/man-caught-having-sex-with-donkey-claims-prostitute-changed-to-the-animal/

Health16 Cancer Causing Foods Youshould Avoid! by boman2014(op): 7:46pm On Nov 29, 2014
When your parents were young,
no one was concerned about
foods that cause cancer. The
research was very young at the
time, but there were also far
less processed foods on the
market. People ate healthier and
more pure foods, because that
was what was available to
them.
Today, it seems like doctors link
everything to causing cancer –
it’s hard to determine what to
really stay away from. While you
think you may be doing the
right thing for your health by
drinking diet sodas or low-
calorie popcorn, you’re actually
eating some of the worst
cancer-causing foods out there!
Below are 16 of the biggest
carcinogen culprits that you
probably eat every day. While
you may be thinking “Everything
causes cancer, so why bother
changing my diet,” these 16
common food items have been
scientifically shown to
significantly increase the risk of
cancers.
#1 Microwave Popcorn
Sure it’s easy to pop a bag of
popcorn in the microwave when
you want a quick and tasty
snack, but is it really worth
risking yourself for liver,
testicular and pancreatic cancer?
The microwave popcorn bags
you have in your cabinet are
lined with carcinogenic
chemicals AND so is a chemical
in the popcorn itself, which
creates the artificial butter
flavor. If you can’t give up your
favorite movie-time snack, it’s
time to switch to the old-
fashioned stove top or a kernel
popping machine like you see at
movie theaters.
#2 Non Organic Produce
You’re not alone in thinking ALL
fruits and vegetables are good
for you, but there are actually
many dangerous pesticides
sprayed on non-organic fruits
that are linked to cancer. One
example is Altrazine, a weed-
killer used at many U.S. farms,
but banned in Europe for
causing severe problems in
humans, such as infertility.
Another problem with non-
organic farmed produce is the
use of toxic fertilizers and
hormones used to make fruits
and veggies bigger. In case you
were wondering, the worst
offenders are apples, followed
by oranges, strawberries and
grapes. ALWAYS wash fruits and
veggies to be safe, but know
that this doesn’t remove all
pesticides.
#3 Canned Tomatoes
I know what you’re thinking…
You’ve likely heard how the
nutrient Lycopene in tomatoes
lowers cancer risks, but that
benefit is completely cancelled
out when the lining of canned
tomatoes contain chemicals that
disrupt hormonal activity in the
body. Since tomatoes are so
acidic, the chemical BPA actually
leeches from the lining into the
tomatoes. This toxic chemical
has been linked to different
cancers, heart disease and
reproductive problems. Next
time you feel like making a nice
red sauce, go with a glass jar or
stew the tomatoes yourself.
#4 Processed Meat
If you’re a carnivore, it may be
hard to give up tasty deli
sandwiches or cured meats to
go with your wine and cheese,
but the benefits definitely
outweigh the cancerous risk.
Processed meats are created
with excessive salt and
chemicals that damage our
health. A study over 13 years
showed that 1 out of 17 people
died who ate 160 grams of
processed meats. That’s 44
percent risk of cancer, as
opposed to people who ate 20
grams or less. These meats are
so packed with preservatives to
look fresh, but they are well-
known carcinogens, including
the same things found in
cigarette smoke.
#5 Farm Raised Salmon
Sure fish, especially salmon, is
known as one of the healthiest
foods out there, but
unfortunately more than 60%
of salmon in the U.S. is farm-
raised… and could be deadly.
Farm-raised fish are fed
unnatural diets and
contaminated with chemicals,
antibiotics, pesticides and other
known carcinogens found in
materials like asbestos. Farmed
salmon is also fattier than fresh
salmon, which means it soaks
up more toxins. Next time you
want a healthy omega-3 packed,
treat yourself to fresh Alaskan
salmon instead.
#6 Potato Chips
They may be cheap, easy and
delicious, but these crispy,
addicting snacks can also be
deadly. These fatty foods don’t
only cause weight gain because
of their high trans-fat content,
they also have excessive sodium
levels, which cause high blood
pressure and artificial flavors,
preservatives and colors.
Another risk is the presence of
acrymalide, a known carcinogen
found in cigarettes. Try not to
feed these quick snacks to
yourself or your kids and choose
pretzels, air-popped popcorn or
baked apple chips instead.
#7 Hydrogenated Oils
Hydrogenated oils are vegetable
oils, which cannot be naturally
extracted like olive oil, soy or
canola oil, they must be
chemically removed. They are
commonly used in many foods
in your pantry to preserve and
keep their shelf life, yet they are
also linked to cancer, birth
defects, heart disease and many
other fatalities. NEVER cook with
hydrogenated oils and check
your labels for healthy oils like
olive, soy and canola instead.
#8 Salty, Pickled And Smoked
Foods
They may be delicious, but many
salty, pickled and smoked foods
are processed with the
preservative nitrate, which
changes in our bodies to N-
nitroso composites, which are
associate with high cancer-
developing risks. Smoked foods
like meat or nuts absorb the
smoke, which contains the same
tar found in cigarettes.
Colorectal and stomach cancer
are linked to salty, pickled and
smoked foods. Do you have a
taste for these cravable foods
now?!
#9 Processed White Flour
Oprah famously lost a lot of
weight by cutting out anything
white, especially the big culprit
– white flour. You may have
heard it’s bad for you, but you
probably don’t realize that
chemically-bleaching flour with
chlorine gas kills all of its
healthy nutrients. Chlorine gas
can be deadly when inhaled, so
why would we want it in our
dinner? White flour also
contains a high glycemic rate,
which raises blood sugar and
insulin levels and can directly
cause diabetes. Cancerous
tumors feed on sugar in the
bloodstream, so by avoiding
refined grains like processed
white flour, you can avoid or
starve deadly tumors.
#10 - GMO's
You may have heard the term
GMO, but you’re not alone in not
fully understanding the dangers
of genetically modified
organisms. Why would anyone
want to eat something that
sounds like that, right?! WRONG!
After GMO’s were introduced in
1996, Americans with 3 or more
chronic illnesses jumped from 7
to 13% in just 9 years. Allergies
skyrocketed and so did Autism
in children, reproductive and
digestion problems. GM
vegetables fed to rats caused
development of horrifying
tumors. One of the biggest
culprits was GM bovine growth
hormone found in milk. Stay
away from these silent killers
and choose certified organic,
non-GMO verified and locally-
grown foods that are produced
without biotechnology. You’ll be
thankful you did later on in life.
#11 - Refined sugars
Cancer cells LOVE refined sugars,
which spike insulin levels and
and promote cancer growth.
High-fructose corn syrup is
considered the worst offender
and it’s found in any sweet you
can think of. It’s been known for
a long time that cancer cells
feed off of sugar, so with so
many people addicted to sugary
treats, it’s no wonder why
cancer rates have skyrocketed.
#12 - Artificial sweeteners
While many people choose
artificial sweeteners to lose
weight, they are actually doing
way worse damage to the body.
People who consume artificial
sweeteners in soda, coffee or
diet-candy actually end up
gaining weight and it does
nothing to help those with
diabetes. Aspartame found in
artificial sweeteners has been
known to cause convulsions,
cataracts and gastro paresis.
Also, artificial sweeteners do
nothing to inhibit the body’s
ability to monitor its daily
calorie consumption, making us
crave sweets even more.
Another deadly toxin called DKP
forms in the body from these
fake sweets that produces
cancer-causing chemicals,
especially brain tumors. To sum
it up, there is pretty much NEVER
a good reason to ingest artificial
sweeteners.
#13 - ANYTHING
You may be thinking you’re
doing the right thing when
choosing a food with a “diet” or
“low-fat” label, but you’re
actually doing way more harm
than good. Chemical artificial
sweetener aspartame, again, is
the big culprit, causing cancer,
birth defects and heart
problems. Think about it –
anything “diet” is chemically
processed and not REAL food.
These foods also contain
additives like ones found in
cocaine to make you feel good,
but also be addicting. Be smart
and eat nature’s delicious,
natural foods – organic only, of
course!
#14 - Alcohol
Alcohol use is the second
leading cause of cancer, right
behind tobacco use. While a
moderate or low consumption
of alcohol can be healthy and
lead to a reduced risk of heart
disease, excessive drinking is
known to cause heart failure,
stroke, and sudden death.
Excessive alcohol use is the
biggest cause of mouth,
esophagus, liver, colon, mouth,
rectum and breast cancers.
Don’t worry! You don’t need to
give up your glass of wine with
dinner, but, for your health’s
sake, stick to one.
#15 - Red meat
If you love a delicious steak now
and then, don’t worry! Red meat
is actually a good thing in your
diet in small doses, but only if
it’s grass-fed beef, which can
actually help fight certain
cancers. However, people who
eat meat like hamburgers every
day have a greater risk in
developing deadly cancers,
upping their risk to 22% in men
and 20% in women. Red meat is
particularly good at causing
colon cancer. So, enjoy your
steak dinner now and then, but
don’t do it every night of the
week and when you do crave
red meat, stick to grass-fed,
organic beef.
#16 - Soft drinks
Soft drinks, soda, pop… no
matter what you call it, it’s still
detrimental to your health! Soda
is packed full of calories, sugar
and artificial ingredients, and
has ZERO nutritional benefit. One
can of soda contains about ten
packets of sugar and most
popular diet and sugared sodas
are nearly as corrosive to dental
enamel as battery acid. Think
the occasional soda won’t hurt?
Studies have shown that only
drinking two sodas per week
nearly doubles the risk of
pancreatic cancer. There are
plenty of alternatives out there,
so next time you’re craving
something sweet, think about
what you’re putting into your
body. Your health is an
investment, never forget that!

PoliticsPDP Secretariat In Calabar Bombed? by boman2014(op): 4:42pm On Nov 24, 2014
Explosion rocks PDP secretariat in Cross River

An explosion believed to be a bomb rocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat along the Murtala Mohammed in Calabar, Cross River State, on Monday.

The incident which occurred at about 5:30am rocked several buildings in the vicinity.

Our correspondent who visited the scene at about 5: 50am saw heavily armed policemen and soldiers trying to restore order in the area.

A resident, who lives nine houses away from the secretariat where the incident occurred, said at the time he felt his house shaking.

“I heard a loud bang and everywhere started shaking. I thought the house was going to collapse,” he said.

In a compound that shares the same fence with the back of the secretariat, several glass doors and windows were shattered.

While speaking with one of those staying in the compound at about 10am, some policemen across the fence in the PDP secretariat ordered our correspondent to leave immediately.

A couple of them jumped over the fence with their guns and threatened to smash the correspondent’s phone and deal with him if he did not leave immediately.

The state chairman of the party, Mr. John Okon, said, “I understand they threw in a bomb or dynamite or something. The police are there and the anti-bomb squad is on the way. We would not be able to use the secretariat for the ward congresses. We would be using the Presidential Lodge.

All the electoral officers are collecting their materials and going to the field. The windows and other things inside the office were destroyed.”

PoliticsBREAKING: Court Frees Alleged Nyanya Bomber by boman2014(op):
A federal court in Abuja has freed Aminu Oguche, the suspected mastermind of the Nyanya bomb attack in Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria has reported. The court struck out a two-count terrorism charge against Mr. Ogwuche on Monday, after months of trial for the April 2014 attack which killed more than 70 people. The court hinged its decision on lack of diligent prosecution by the state. Mr. Ogwuche, a suspected Boko Haram member, was accused by the Nigerian government of being behind the attack. The blast at the Nyanya Motor Park occurred during morning peak hours as residents were hurrying to work. The government said Mr. Ogwuche fled to Sudan after coordinating the attack. He was later repatriated to Nigeria to face charges. Details of Monday’s ruling are sketchy and will be brought in our subsequent updates.

meditation class. By 1989 it was
granted official status as a religious organization by the Japanese
government. By 1995 the group
claimed to have over 40,000
members worldwide. The cult's
beliefs combine Yoga, Buddhism,
Hinduism, Christianity and the writings of Nostradamus. Asahara
believed himself to be Japan's fully
enlightened "Christ," who could take
away sin and would save his
followers from the nuclear
Armageddon he predicted. In the 1980s the increasingly
controversial cult was accused of
forcing members to donate money,
holding members captive and of
committing at least one murder of
one who tried to leave the cult, but retained some popular acceptance.
In the 1990s Asahara adopted the
view that the U.S. would attack
Japan and begin the End Times.
The cult's violent tendencies
escalated, and they began to stockpile weapons and military
hardware. By 1993 members were
manufacturing sarin and VX gas.
In March 1995, Asahara received
word that the police were planning
on raiding his facility. In an effort to distract them, on March 20 he
ordered the release of sarin gas in
the Tokyo subway system
(pictured) killing 13 people,
seriously injuring 54 and affecting
980 (possibly more, because many Japanese victims of crime are
reluctant to report it). The
distraction backfired; police instead
raided cult properties all over
Japan, discovering explosives,
chemical and biological weapons (including anthrax and Ebola
cultures), a Russian military
helicopter, enough sarin to kill four
million people, LSD,
methamphetamine, truth serum,
millions of dollars in cash and gold, and, shockingly, victims held
captive by the cult in cells on the
cult's properties. Asahara initially
issued statements saying the
evidence was manufactured.
Ultimately he was arrested, but his attorney insisted he had no
knowledge of the sarin attacks due
to his declining health. He was tried
and sentenced to death by hanging
on February 27, 2004. His appeals
have been denied. Asahara disassociated himself from the cult,
which still exists today as Aleph, in
order to prevent its dissolution. Read more False Prophet: The Aum

Heaven's Gate The Heaven's Gate cult was a
U.F.O. religion that fused some
Christian apocalyptic thought with
concepts popular in science fiction.
Followers believed that the Earth
was going to be destroyed in a great "recycling" and that the only
way to survive was to leave the
planet by evolving to the next level.
The cult was founded in the 1970s
by Marshall Applewhite (pictured)
after he had visions of himself in the Book of Revelation, then as an
evolved human relative of Jesus,
and finally as an alien being in
human form. The cult believed that
in order to be eligible to ascend to
the next level of existence, members would have to give up all
things human: possessions, money,
jobs, individuality, sexuality,
friends, family and even life itself.
The members decided that if they
killed themselves at precisely the right moment they would not die,
but would be taken up to an alien
spacecraft hidden by the tail of
Comet Hale-Bopp then passing
near Earth. Interestingly the group
funded itself by doing web development. On March 26, 1997,
the bodies of Applewhite and 38 of
his followers were found dead in the
cult's rented mansion. Police
believe that they killed themselves
in groups over the course of three days. The cultists ingested lethal
doses of phenobarbital, though
autopsies showed the presence of
cyanide and arsenic as well, and
put plastic bags over their heads.
All the dead were found lying in their bunks dressed identically,
down to their "Heaven's Gate Away
Team" armbands.

The Chicago Rippers Robin Gecht (second from left), 30,
a former employee of serial killer
John Wayne Gacy, and three other
men, teenage brothers Andrew (far
left) and Thomas Kokoraleis
(second from right) and Edward Spreitzer (far right), 21, formed a
satanic cult and gang called The
Chicago Rippers that is suspected
in the 1981 and 1982
disappearances of as many as 18
women. One victim, a teenage prostitute they had left for dead,
was able to give a description of her
attackers, which led to their arrest.
Once in custody all but Gecht
confessed to the murders and to
having removed one breast from each sacrificial victim, having taken
turns raping the open wound,
having masturbated onto the
breast, chopped it up and eaten it
while Gecht read verses from The
Satanic Bible. Though the others were willing to
implicate Gecht, investigators were
never able to definitively connect
him to the murders. He was
sentenced to 120 years in prison
for kidnapping, rape and mutilation of the prostitute. Andrew Kokoraleis
and Edward Spreitzer received the
death sentence for their roles in the
strangulation murder of Lorraine
Borowski, 21, a secretary whose
mutilated body was found in a cemetery. Andrew Kokoraleis was
executed in 1999. Spreitzer's death
sentence was commuted in 2003.
Thomas Kokoraleis received a life
sentence and may be released on
September 30, 2017. Read more Robin Gecht and the

The Movement for the
Restoration of the Ten
Commandments of God The followers of the Ugandan
doomsday cult The Movement for
the Restoration of the Ten
Commandments of God believed
that the apocalypse would occur in
the year 2000. They fiercely kept the Ten Commandments and
supposedly preached the the word
of Jesus. The group so feared
damnation for accidentally breaking
the ninth commandment, to not bear
false witness, that they spoke little and used only sign language on
some days. Sex was forbidden,
soap was forbidden and only one
meal consumed Fridays and
Mondays.
The group was a break-away Catholic cult that found its origins
with Paulo Kashaku, who claimed to
have divinely inspired visions. His
daughter Credonia Mwerinde (inset)
claimed to have similar visions.
She, along with Joseph Kibweteere and Bee Tait founded the group in
1980. Though the group had
broken with the Catholic Church, it
attracted many defrocked priests
and nuns, who were given positions
of authority. After frenzied preparations, January
1, 2000, passed without incident.
Followers began to lose faith and
cult leaders set another date for the
end of the world: March 17, 2000.
On the big day over 500 worshipers in the town of Kanungu arrived at a
church, but soon after, it exploded
and burned down. At first it was
thought to have been a mass
suicide, but when signs of
strangulation and poisoning became evident, the cause of death
was changed to murder. A search of
other cult properties turned up
hundreds of bodies, more followers
apparently murdered days before
the final explosion and fire (pictured).
