Science/Technology / AMAZING: Alarm Clock That Brews Fresh Coffee To Wake You Up (photos) by DaPhilosopher(m): 1:30pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
Making a cup of coffee sounds easy enough, but never is that the case on a work day, as just getting out of bed seems like a never ending story. UK-based designer Josh Renouf has come up with the perfect solution, called Barisieur. This ingenious hybrid alarm clock and a coffee brewer works just like you would expect: you pre-load it with some water and grounds, place your cup underneath the spout, and set the alarm. When the alarm goes off, instead of a horrible buzzing, it wakes you up with the gentle sound of bubbling water, accompanied by the wonderful aroma of freshly-prepared coffee! Instead of using a traditional heating element, Barisieur uses a hidden induction heater to heat up a bunch of steel ball bearings in the bottom of the beaker, which then transfer heat to the water, gradually bringing it to a boil. http://vibes247.com/amazing-alarm-clock-that-brews-fresh-coffee-to-wake-you-up-photos/ See pix below

Business / Renewed European Demand For Nigerian Crude Oil Underway by DaPhilosopher(m): 3:22pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
There are indications suggesting a fresh demand of Nigeria oil following dips in freight rates and a rising Mediterranean light sweet crude market. After being shut out recently because of high freight and weaker prices for light, sweet Mediterranean grades, West African crude, particularly Nigerian grades, were looking attractive, Platts quoted un-named market sources. Nigeria’s flagship grade, Qua Iboe, was assessed at Dated Brent plus $0.35/barrel last week, having been trending downwards in recent months from Dated Brent plus $1.80/barrel in March. Freight is easing, so European refiners are looking at alternatives, one crude trader said. That comes as grades, such as Azeri Light, which competes with Nigerian crudes, has risen steeply in the past week having been at a multi-year low late May. Other light grades in the region have also seen increases due to a tighter Mediterranean sour crude market. Crude could come from West African barrels in floating storage, traders said. I think that there are already some barrels coming out of storage as the market structure is not so favourable to keep the barrels floating, a trader said. Some barrels could also be released from inland storage, traders said. http://vibes247.com/renewed-european-demand-for-nigerian-crude-oil-underway/

Politics / Boko Haram Offers To Swap Detainees For Kidnapped Girls by DaPhilosopher(m): 3:22pm On Jul 08, 2015 |

Celebrities / Tyga Denies Sending Naked Photo To Transgender Actress (photo) by DaPhilosopher(m): 1:35pm On Jul 08, 2015 |
Tyga has become the latest victim of nude photo leaking, and has been forced to deny claims that he sent said naked photo to a transgender model and actress. The 25-year-old, who has son King Cairo with ex Blac Chyna, denies having an affair with Mia Isabella, with his lawyer allegedly telling TMZ that he believes the photo was leaked as part of a ‘conspiracy to shame’ him. Original reports claim that Tyga, who is currently dating Kylie Jenner, sent the full-frontal nude photo to Mia via text as part of their alleged three-year-old ‘affair’. His tattoos are said to be visible in the photo, proving that the photo is authentic. However, his lawyer Lee Hutton has told TMZ that he believes the person Tyga ACTUALLY sent the photo (or photos) to has betrayed him and ‘used them to manufacture a fake story’. Lee also claims that the leaking of the photos is part of a conspiracry designed to “maliciously shame” him. The allegations are false and socially irresponsible during a time when many Americans are celebrating equality, he added, referring to America’s fantastic recently ruling to make same-sex marriage LEGAL in all states. Although Tyga has yet to address the speculation directly, he has taken to Twitter to write a cryptic message which could very much be linked to the claims. He tweeted: Smh. The devil is working hard today. Lol. http://vibes247.com/tyga-denies-sending-naked-photo-to-transgender-actress-photo/

We accept the sentence, he said through his interpreter. Prosecutors in the case, who had sought the death penalty for Alfar, said they were likely to appeal the verdict. We have seven days to decide whether to accept or appeal against the verdict, one of prosecutors from the Depok Prosecutors Office Edy Azis said.

Politics / A Third Alternative To PDP And APC – Ben Bruce by DaPhilosopher(m): 3:30pm On Jul 06, 2015 |
Months after the 2015 elections ended, Nigerian youths are still hung up on those elections. Nowhere is this more obvious than on social media which our youths have turned to a battle ground divided into pro People Democratic Party (PDP) and pro All Progressives Congress (APC) youths. So ingrained is this animosity that each group targets elected officials and party chieftains of the opposing parties and go after them just on the basis of their party affiliation. Things reached a comical stage when a youth attacked me for a tweet on Twitter and hours later was praising a popular youth for his tweet. Unbeknownst to him was the fact that the youth had merely tweeted my exact words but had not credited me with the quote! http://vibes247.com/a-third-alternative-to-pdp-and-apc-ben-bruce/

Crime / My First Week Of Freedom After 10 Years In A Nigerian Jail by DaPhilosopher(m): 1:19pm On Jul 03, 2015 |
When I called my mother from prison to tell her I’d been pardoned after 10 years in jail, she fainted. I was told they had to pour water on her to revive her. Later, when she saw me for the first time after all those years in jail, she grabbed me and held me so tight. She wouldn’t let go for almost 15 minutes. The whole time she had tears of joy streaming from her eyes. Football and juice: celebrating with my death row friends I was also overwhelmed with joy when I found out about my pardon, at 4pm on 28 May. Initially I couldn’t even speak, I was so happy. The day after hearing the news, I celebrated in prison by organising a football match between death row inmates and other prison inmates. I’d been the death row team football coach during my time in prison. We won the match 3-0! Everyone was so happy to play. That Sunday I went to the prison church. I bought some biscuits and fruit juice to share with other inmates in church and an announcement was made that I was being released. Everyone was happy. I had friends in prison; I had been teaching English and Maths to fellow inmates and those students who were keen became my friends. I was released a few days later. That first evening at home, my mother prepared a special dish – Okro soup with beef. The whole family ate together at the dining table. Afterwards, there was a party with family friends and we sang songs, played music and prayed. We prayed for all the activists who campaigned for my release, those from Amnesty international and Justine Ijeomah [the Director of HURSDEF, Nigeria’s Human Rights Social Development and Environmental Foundation] and his wife, Goodness Justine. Drinks were shared around with everyone at the party. The sleep of the free The first night I slept in my new bed, I slept so well. What struck me most was that at 5am, I did not hear the prison wake-up bell. I waited for it, and then realised that it was not a dream, but in fact I really am free. When I realised that, I felt freedom deep in my spirit. Things had changed for good. I went back to sleep and slept until 10am, fully enjoying my ‘freedom sleep’. My family came to wake me up but I told them to let me sleep longer. It was such a good sleep. In those first days of freedom I bumped into an old school friend and he looked at me like he’d seen a ghost. We have a local belief that if you pour sand on a spirit it will vanish, and he started to pick up sand from the ground and pour it on my body! I told him – ‘don’t pour sand on me, I’m alive, I’m not a ghost!’ At that, he touched me and hugged me: he thought I had been executed. He told me he would never forget the last time he saw me before my arrest 10 years ago. At home, everything felt strange to me, even though I’m so relieved to be free. Lots of things have changed in the 10 years since I was arrested: new bridges have been built and the use of laptop computers and phones is common now. People keep asking me ‘What happened to your finger? [After I was arrested] my fingernails and toenails were pulled out. The scars people see are the lasting marks that torture has left me with. When I wear sandals, seeing my toes reminds me of what I went through. Torture affects people in so many ways. It’s inhuman: heating cutlasses on a fire and then flogging a person’s back is barbaric. It affects people mentally: it causes madness. They pass out because of the pain and admit to things they never did. What I went through – the torture and being on death row – affected me in so many ways. It affected my plans for life and my ambitions at school. I spent ten years in jail. By now I could have finished school and have started working. What struck me most is that you can live in a country where you can face so much tragedy for no reason, and yet still have to live there. I will always pray for change in Nigeria, but I advise others living here to be very careful, so that they will not fall victim to what I went through. I’m joining the fight against torture My plans now I’m free are to continue my education and get as far as I always dreamt – I want to be a doctor to fulfill my late father’s wishes. But I’ll also be a human rights activist and help others who face the same challenges that I did. I have already filled out an application form and had a passport photo taken – the requirements for becoming a volunteer activist with HURSDEF. The Director, Justine, welcomed me warmly as ‘Comrade Moses Akatugba’. I told him: Justine, I’m joining the fight against torture so that others will not go through the pain that I did. If I have my way, and can stop torture, I will be the happiest man on earth. I don’t want any future generation to go through what I went through in that torture chamber. Moses Akatugba was tortured to confess to a crime he says he never committed. His ‘confession’ was then used to sentence him to death. On 28 May 2015, Moses was pardoned after nearly 10 years in jail. Over 800,000 of you around the world took action demanding justice Moses Akatugba was tortured to confess to a crime he says he never committed. His ‘confession’ was then used to sentence him to death. On 28 May 2015, Moses was pardoned after nearly 10 years in jail.

Rihanna has become the first artist to surpass more than 100 million cumulative digital downloads.

Nairaland / General / Woman Claims Archbishop Fondled Her When She Was A Child by DaPhilosopher(m): 2:15pm On Jul 01, 2015 |
A woman has told the High Court a priest kissed her and touched her breast while she was being treated for typhoid fever in a hospital in Nigeria in 1983. Dolores Atwood, who was born in August 1969, said she first met Richard Burke, a member of the Kiltegan Fathers order, after mass at a Catholic church in Nigeria in 1982 and had enjoyed conversations with him. When she became ill in 1983, she was treated in hospital for typhoid fever and he came to visit her, she said. She was “surprised” and, while he was there, the light went off and he kissed her and touched her breast and was “touching me inappropriately”. When the light came back on, he had gone back to the position where he was standing before the light went off, she said. Ms Atwood has begun her evidence in the action by Mr Burke (66), a native of Co Tipperary, against RTE alleging he was defamed in the RTE Prime Time Investigates: Mission to Prey programme broadcast on May 23rd 2011. He claims material in the programme wrongly meant he was a paedophile. RTE denies defamation. The jury has heard Mr Burke was ordained in 1975 after which he served in Nigeria as a priest before being appointed Bishop of the diocese of Warri. He was later appointed Archbishop of Benin city and resigned that office in May 2010 over failure to adhere to his vow of celibacy. He remains a member of the Kiltegan Fathers. Mr Burke denies claims by Ms Atwood (45), who now lives in Canada with her husband Chris Atwood, that he sexually molested her when she was aged 13 and first had sex with her when she was 14. He says they first had sex in autumn 1989 when she was aged 20 and he was aged 40. In evidence today, Ms Atwood said she is a native of Ondo state in Nigeria and grew up in Warri in southern Nigeria. Her father is a mechanical engineer and she has six sisters and three brothers. Her parents were Muslim but she had herself never really embraced any religion. Becoming upset, she said they were a happy family until problems began between her parents in 1982 and they divorced. At that time, she was a day student in second level. Her mother moved out and her father’s new wife, whom he married later in 1982, was “not very friendly to us”. Ms Atwood said she had to do most of the work at home and that affected her a lot. Asked about religion, she said she was “always really attracted to the crucifix”, “I just love it” and that led to her going to a Catholic church in 1982. She had been told by a school friend she would find crucifixes if she went to the church on Sunday where there were a lot of people selling medals and rosaries and books, she said. She bought a rosary and other materials but was told the rosary “would not work” unless a priest blessed it. She went to church and, after mass, asked a priest to bless her rosary, she said. That priest was Fr Richard Burke, he had told her he had not seen her face before and asked her to come to mass next Sunday, she said. When she did so, she spoke with him afterwards and he encouraged her to attend mass, she said. She went to mass when she could as she did not want to offend her father. Whenever she went, Fr Burke gave her a hug which she found “very relieving” and they would discuss the church and her family in conversations. At that time, I trusted him, I said to myself he was a nice man, he was caring and very kind.” At the time, she had no one who was emotionally supporting her and she would look forward to going to church, she said. http://vibes247.com/woman-claims-archbishop-fondled-her-when-she-was-a-child/

Politics / Meet The New Chief-Of-Staff, Hamid Ibrahim-Alli by DaPhilosopher(m): 2:24pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
Colonel Hamid Ibrahim Alli is a brave Kano Prince. He was a military governor of Kaduna state and a diehard IBB boy who is reputed to have made the statement “I can follow IBB to war blindfolded” to show how much he believed in IBB as a general. But that didn’t stop him from looking IBB in the face and telling him he was wrong on the case of the annulment of June 12 1993 elections. He lost his commission because he refused to support the annulment of the June 12 election and Abacha’s takeover of government instead of handing over to MKO. Despite his famous dislike for MKO, whom he saw as an arrogant man, he insisted justice and fairplay must be done. He demanded MKO be sworn in even if he was a devil. Rumour has it that he would have been killed if not because he was a blue blood.He left the Army and government unceremoniously, a simple man without money or scandal. According to reports, he is into poultry farming and still drives a 504 Peugeot. Colonel Hamid Ibrahim Ali is currently undergoing SSS screening in preparation for his appointment.Immediately there were feelers that he will emerge the next EFCC Chairman, corrupt politicians have been on panic mode. Some have started refunding stolen funds. http://vibes247.com/meet-the-new-chief-of-staff-colonel-hamid-ibrahim-alli/ 12 Likes 6 Shares
