- The government has several projects lined up for the funds

The federal government of Nigeria plans to raise 20 billion naira by March 2017 to fund several projects as Nigeria continues to battle recession.

Minister Mohammed says government will sell the bond in the first quarter The government and its officials have always insisted that the government needs a lot of funds to plug Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit.

“We are on track to sell the bond in the first quarter, a sovereign, and could have another by the end of the year.

“The exchequer can’t get all the money we need. That’s why we must leverage these innovative ways to get funds from the international community,” minister of environment, Amina Mohammed told Bloomberg on Friday, December 9.

Earlier this week, minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun told journalists that Nigeria will issue its third Eurobond, worth $1 billion, in January 2017.

Mohammed listed some of the projects the government is planning to undertake.

Read below:

1. Fund an electric-vehicle commuter project in some cities
2. Tree-planting projects in the north
3. Off-grid solar-power projects producing as much as 1,200 megawatts in the north
4. Support environment-friendly projects in the Niger Delta where the government aims to eliminate gas flaring by 2019
5. Continue the clean-up of the Ogoni land oil spills

Reports from Ghana indicate that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has won the nation’s presidential election.


Akufo-Addo is projected to be winner after results from 206 constituencies has shown that he has taken an overwhelming
lead over incumbent President John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).


He is leading the presidential election, polling 5,513,357 votes ahead of Mahama who has 4,591,975.


Although the national electoral body has not officially declared the results, it has been widely reported that Akufo-Addo has won the presidency on his third attempt.


Recall that just like the case of former president Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria, Mahama, rose from being the vice president to the position of the president of Ghana in 2010, after the death of Attah Mills.


And after his tenure ended in 2012, Mahama contested and won the presidential poll for the first time.

This was his second time contesting in the election.


However, Akufo-Addo’s victory comes on the heels of demand from Ghanians yearning for change as a result of nation’s state of economy, Akufo-Addo’s NPP party also triumphed over Mahama’s NDC in parliamentary elections that also took place throughout Ghana on Wednesday, December 7.

This rare transplant was performed on Tyson Smith.The life-saving cardiac surgery called 'heterotopic heart transplantation' means Mr Smith effectively has two beating hearts to pump blood around his body - like the science fiction hero Doctor.Patient Tyson Smith, 36, was suffering from heart failure but was too weak to have a traditional heart transplant. So surgeons at the UC San Diego's Thorton Hospital left Mr Smith's own heart in place and implanted a second donor heart next to it, which they then fixed together.The operation, which was performed fittingly on Valentine's Day, was a great success. The heart beat moment was captured in a video. Watch video here>> https:///ZdoiRq

14 year old baby, Kangkang was dubbed , "the mask man" because of his facial deformity. Kangkang was born into a chinese family with a second face appearing on his face meaning the baby is born with a traversal facial cleft. This literally made the baby seemed as he was wearing a mask.Unable to see her son upon birth, the unfortunate mother, who is employed at a company that manufactures electronics in the Guangdong Province, pleaded and pleaded with her husband to see the newborn. After finally be handed the child, she broke down into tears.

No one knows what causes this unfortunate condition, though theories abound. It could be caused by an infection, or even frequent drug use by the mother. According to one source, the only drugs the mother took while pregnant were prescribed anti-abortion agents her doctors prescribed. Sadly, this condition is incredibly expensive to treat, as Yi learned when she took Kangkang at 20-days old to a hospital in Changsha. The final tally: around 300-400,000 Yen, or approximately 80,000 to 100,000 dollars.

A man who prefers to have his identity hidden prides himself as the DoubleDickDude. The man in his mid twenties is a human replica of the snake and lizard reproductive organs. This condition in human is known as diphillia . The condition isn’t genetic, but could be caused by irregular homeobox gene expression during the 4th week of fetal development. This change in expression is brought upon by mutations in the genes or environmental factors.

Residents of Joseph Harrison Estate,Yaba area of Lagos state
have been thrown into panic after they got a letter from armed
robbers today, December 7.


The robbers notified the residents of their impending attack,
adding that they want to collect their “dues” for the festive
season.


According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the letter was placed
on the vehicle of one of the residents and was discovered in the
morning when he was about to wash his car.


Part of the letter read:

“We are coming this week to collect our
dues and to visit you tenants and landlords of Joseph Harrison
Street in the week.


If you like go and bring police or soldiers, we
are coming to perform our duties.


“If you cooperate, we will not kill, but if you fail to cooperate,
blood will flow.”



Meanwhile, sterner security measures have been put in place in
the area to protect the lives and properties of the residents.


Chairman, Community Development Association, Mr. Bolanle
Akinyemi, said the estate had enjoyed some peace for a long
while as it was protected by guards and the police from Sabo
Police Post.


“We are also mindful of the slum that surrounds us and we have
been conscious of suspected criminals.


“No one has received such letter before, but there was a case in
2013 when a company in the estate was robbed,” he said.


Akinyemi also said they have reported the threat to Sabo Police
Division and more guards have been engaged at the estate, even
as residents in the area urged the police to deploy more men to
patrol the estate regularly.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has revealed that the group
actually carried out the assassination of some Islamic clerics and
attacked the Emir of Zaria, Shehu Idris.


Before the group clashed with the Nigerian Army, it reportedly
held Zaria almost under control with the government accusing its
leader of creating another country inside Nigeria.


In a statement titled: ‘MURIC is neither pro-Shiite nor anti-Rufai’,
issued on Wednesday, December 7, Ishaq Akintola, the director
of the Islamic rights group, said: “Well-meaning Nigerians,
particularly from the north where the impact of the group has
been felt most, have sincerely intervened and thrown more light
on the activities and status of the IMN.


“Fresh information has revealed IMN’s attack on the Emir of Zaria,
its alleged involvement in the assassination of some Muslim
clerics, its lack of respect for constituted authority, its posturing
as a government within a government, its alleged possession of
arms, etc.


“In the face of these fresh facts, we are obliged to incorporate the
opinions of our members who are up-North. This is necessary in
order to carry them along. Who feels it knows it. Those who live
very close to the IMN must know IMN better.


“Even while we are not holding brief for the authors of the
allegations, MURIC wishes to state clearly, categorically and
unequivocally that at no point in time had we been pro-Shiite.


"Neither do we share any doctrinal identity with IMN. Our interest
lies in the maintenance of peace in the Nigerian society and the
need to avoid creating another monster like Boko Haram.


“MURIC is as worried as every other Islamic organization about
the doctrinal differences and heretic inclinations of Shiism.


"But sectarian differences are not limited to Islam. Above all, we
are gravely concerned about the self-imposed isolationist
disposition of IMN in relation with mainstream Islam in Nigeria.


"We are equally nonplussed by the group’s refusal to recognize
officially installed leaders. These are big and questionable minuses
for IMN.


“In the light of the above, we affirm that MURIC remains
committed to the goals and aspirations of mainstream Islamdom
which has been pursuing peaceful coexistence, neighbourliness,
tolerance, love, forgiveness and, above all, sacrifice for our great
country, Nigeria under the umbrella of the Nigerian Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).”



Daily Post reports that MURIC urged the Shiite group members to
retrace their footsteps in character and doctrine.


MURIC added that the IMN needs better image laundering in
Kaduna state and the north in general.”


Advising that efforts must be made to avoid turning IMN into
another terror machine like the Boko Haram, Akintola
said: “Nonetheless, we stand by our word of caution. Everything
possible must be done to avoid turning IMN into another terror
machine.


"What we need in Nigeria to get out of the current recession is
peace. We also need peace for economic growth and political
stability. We cannot afford another Boko Haram.


“As we round up, we appeal to Governor El-Rufai to ignore IMN’s
unnecessary verbal war against his administration, avoid further
bloody crackdown on the group and concentrate on the good
work he has been doing in governance.



"We call on the Federal Government to investigate the serious
allegation of possession of arms leveled against IMN. This will rest
the controversy surrounding the labeling of IMN as an insurgent
group once and for all.”

According to NDTV in India, a 25-year-old pregnant woman
identified as, Kulwinder Kaur was killed by a lover during a
wedding in Punjab’s Bathinda on Saturday, December 3, as she
was shot in the stomach while performing on stage.


The woman's husband Harjinder Singh claimed his wife was
shot by Billa, a friend of the groom, who has been disturbing the
wife with love advances. He said: "They had been asking her to
get off the stage and join them but she refused, so they shot
her.”


The woman before her death was part of a four-member dance troupe from Bathinda who had come to perform at a wedding in Maur Mandi town. A police officer, Daljit Singh maintained that it was a case of celebratory firing gone wrong. "Details will be out after postmortem.”


A hunt is on for Billa, who fled after the incident, as a case of murder has been registered against him.


Watch video below:

Also, eyewitnesses agreed with the police saying, they were performing on stage when the celebratory firing began. A bullet fired by Billa got stuck in his double-barreled gun and while he
tried to unlock it, it hits the pregnant woman. Kulwinder's body
was sent to the civil hospital where she was declared dead on
arrival.

Do you think it was an intentional act or an accidental one?

The MMM image published on British Broadcast Corporation's (BBC) page, is a hoax

- Investigations reveal that the image regarding a report on BBC's site was photoshopped

BBC newsreader Nicholas Owen has revealed that the caption “MMM Nigeria Reduces Poverty in Nigeria by 20%,” which appeared on an image recently shared online and on social media is a hoax.


SEE PHOTO:

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt4bbhuougnp5.8b496204.jpg[/img]

MMM image on BBC is hoax, says Nicholas Owen.


The caption goes on to say that the “UK government advise Buhari lead [sic] government to use MMM to create jobs”.
MMM, which calls itself “a community of ordinary people selflessly helping each other, a kind of the Global Fund of mutual
aid” has been controversial in Nigeria. Its proponents say the
community provides real financial bailout but sceptics say it is a
Ponzi scheme.


The image, however, is a hoax.
Using Google reverse image search, Africa Check found that the
original caption read “British hostage released: British national
released after operation in Yemen”.


Africa Check says they have asked the BBC to confirm this and
will update the report, if they should respond.


Meanwhile, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries International
(OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has told his members to
disassociate themselves from the popular money doubling
scheme, MMM.


Apostle Suleiman said MMM is satanic and that those involved in it
are demonic. Speaking during a church service, the pastor said:

"Go and check the founder of MMM. He was a fraudster in
America; defrauded people, and that's what you're involving
yourself in and you are a Christian, looking for easy way out.


Many Christians have gotten involved. If you are involved in
MMM, I have to pray for you today. It's not of God. Any quick fix
way for money is not of God because some people are being
defrauded to enrich some other people.


"Any quick-rich scheme is wrong. In life, everything you get if is
not favour from a particular individual. If it's quick favour through
a process, you will pay for it later. If it's a person you know that
walked up to you and blesses you, take it. That's favour. But a quick business transaction that can bring a return of over 200 person, is not of God , '' he said.

Actress Shirley Igwe


Igwe also explained why she can’t date an actor:

“I would want someone with a different profession. Not like one
can’t fall in love and marry an actor. If I wasn’t with my man now, I would be hoping to marry someone with a different profession.

Marrying an actor has its advantages because he woul understand your work, unlike someone who is not an actor. Even at that, it’s not enough reason for me to marry a man because he understands. I see my fellow actors as colleagues,” she said.


This beautiful actress had worked together with Imo state Governor Rochas Okorocha as the principal protocol officer of the governor before abandoning it to be a full-time actress.
