A Nigerian national, Julius Chukwujama Hillary, who has been living illegally in Cambodia since 2017, on Wednesday November 27, went to the Immigration office in Phnom Penh and asked for help to return to Nigeria. Leutenant Chea Chetera, director of the department of Investigation and Procedure, who confirmed this on Wednesday, said that the 33-year-old Nigerian overstayed the visa and had no money to extend the new one. He came to Cambodia on March 17, 2017, through Phnom Penh International Airport. He ended up living on the street. He was sent to the Investigation and Procedure Department to follow the legal action. A 49-year-old Canadian man, Tran Tuanty (pictured with the Nigerian) also asked for help to return back to his country. Tuanty, who came to Cambodia in 2017, through Phnom Penh International Airport, lost the passport and didn't have money to renew it. He overstayed the visa, became homeless and stayed on the street.

Kim Kardashian has said she would start cutting back on putting on clothes that expose her body in honour of her husband, Kenya West's new faith. It is no longer news that West has become a 'new man' in Christ. She also pointed out that she is growing older and attaining the stage in which she wouldn't be able to keep up with sexy attires. Some time ago, Kanye West voiced his opinion about her 2019 Met Gala dress being "too sexy." The reality star explained to New York magazine in a November 2019 interview that she's looking to a new phase of her life - one that doesn't include thong bikinis. "I am a mother of four. I am going to be 40 next year. When is it time to stop? She said. The suggestion of her new image came to light since Kanye is embarking on a new spiritual awakening and Kim wants "to honour" her husband as he's "going through this life change." She added, "I think I'm evolving to where I don't feel the need to want to keep up." But Kardashian also admitted that yes, the process of dialling it down a bit has already begun. "I don't know if it's the fact that my husband has voiced that sometimes too sexy is just overkill and he's not comfortable with that. "I listen to him and understand him. Still, at the end of the day, he always gives me the freedom to be and do what I want," she said. "But I have kind of had this awakening myself. I realized I could not even scroll through Instagram in front of my kids without full nudity coming up on my feed pretty much all the time. "And I definitely contributed to that. I mean, one of my most iconic covers was the Paper magazine one, when I was all oiled up and ripping my dress off."

Actor, Scott Roberts, has revealed that he sometimes gets weird messages from fans. In an interview with Saturday Beats, he said a fan once said she would love to kiss him. “I manage my female fans. Sometimes I act like I don’t see some of these messages they send to me, and if it's not so annoying, I simply say ‘hello’. “A fan once sent me a message, saying, ‘I would love to kiss you'. Some of them say they would love to spend time with me. It makes me laugh.” Asked why he plays more of lover boy roles, Roberts said: “I don’t want to believe I have been typecast as a lover boy because there are a lot of movies I have appeared in that have nothing to with playing lover boy roles. We are all lover boys and lover girls.” Speaking further, he denied taking a break from acting. “I didn’t take a break from acting; I have been doing a lot of other things. I have a movie that just came out titled, ‘The Good'. Sola Sobowale, Alex Usifo and others starred in the movie. Commenting on the growth of Nollywood, the actor said, “The movie industry is actually better now. Between now and the next two years, we can actually be compared to Hollywood."

There are many stereotypes that come with being the youngest child in the family although not always necessarily true. Considered the 'runt of the litter', the youngest siblings gets away with a lot and are always considered 'the baby of the family'. Keep reading for things you can relate to if you are the youngest sibling. 1. You get away with more Every youngest sibling knows that they get away with more than their eldest siblings can imagine. Parents tend to be less strict by the time they have their last child having had parenting experience with the older children. Due to the leniency, youngest siblings are able to push the limits on rules in a way that their older ones couldn't. 2. Scared of getting attacked More often than not, younger means weaker so there is always that constant fear of being bullied or teased by an older sibling. Whether is is the fear being roughhoused or talked back at, older siblings pose a threat. 3. You're always referred To As "the Baby" You will always be the baby of the family no matter your age. Whether you're five, 10, 21, or 64, your mother will always introduce you to her friends as "the baby." And, unfortunately, this is usually accompanied by the infamous cheek pinching. 4. Your wardrobe is full of hand-me-downs Youngest siblings have a wardrobe filled majorly with hand-me-downs from older siblings but the bright side of this is that it teaches you how to make the best with the least. 5. Older siblings always have your back You may argue often with your older siblings or get into fights with them but when push comes to shove, they got you. They are always there to offer assistance and guidance so that you don't end up making the same mistakes they did.

Snoring is often linked to lifestyle and can be really discomforting to the people around especially when all you want to get is some good night's sleep. Fortunately, there are some simple changes you can make to help prevent it as stated in these 5 self-tips. Maintain a healthy weight and diet. Being overweight by just a few kilos can lead to snoring. Fatty tissue around your neck squeezes the airway and prevents air flowing in and out freely. So, hit the gym and keep fit. Change your sleeping positions. When you get tucked in, try to sleep on your side rather than your back. While sleeping on your back, your tongue, chin and any excess fatty tissue under your chin can relax and squash your airway. Sleeping on your side prevents this. Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol makes your muscles relax more than usual during a normal night's sleep. This may encourage the back of your throat to collapse as you breathe, which causes snoring. Do you smoke? Quit! Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of your nose and throat, causing swelling and catarrh. This means airflow is decreased and you're more likely to snore. Keep your nose clear Typically, you breathe in through your nose rather than your mouth, but, if an allergy is blocking your nose, try antihistamine tablets or a nasal spray. However, ask your pharmacist for advice, or see your GP, if you're affected by an allergy or any other condition that affects your nose or breathing. You can also request for snoring aids if none of the above apply to you. Sources: https://www.denland.site/2019/11/do-you-snore-here-are-5-preventive-tips.html

Barcelona superstar Jordi Alba is one of the best left-backs in the world due to the fact that there is nothing he cannot do. His overlapping skills are still top-notch despite advancing in age but the Spanish born defender doesn't own a driving license. Having joined the Catalans in the summer of 2012 in a deal around €14 million from Valencia, Alba has since then established himself as a key member of the team. Featuring in well over 300 matches for the Camp Nou outfit - with nothing less than 70 caps for the Spanish national team. Alba has won five La Liga titles, one Champions League and several other domestic and continental titles during his seven-year reign so far at the club. Meanwhile, his dad has been driving him to training every time according to the information credited to teammate Gerard Pique who reportedly said this on a late-night Spanish television show, 'La Resistencia'. The interviewer asked Pique how Ansu Fati gets to training and he revealed his dad brings him - which is the same way Alba does. "His Dad brings him," he said. "Just like Jordi Alba." The former Valencia defender earns about £140,000-per-week and yet depends on his dad to get to training every day. Alba suffered a hamstring relapse in Barcelona goalless draw against Slavia Praha at Camp Nou earlier this month and was replaced at half time by Sergi Roberto. The defender has made nine appearances for his club in all competition with a goal to his credit but his return date is not visible at the moment.

A 9 year old genius from Belgium, Laurent Simons will this December graduate from the Eindhoven University of Technology with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering, a major achievement even for grown up adults. Laurent Simons, who University staff have described as 'simply extraordinary' plans to do his PH.D in electrical engineering once he finishes University while also studying for a medicine degree, his father has revealed in an interview with CNN. The boy's parents, Lydia and Alexander Simons, at first didn't believe their son was a genius until his school teachers started reporting how he quickly understood and learn things far above his age grade meaning he had to complete school faster than his peers. Laurent was given test after test as teachers tried to work out the extent of his talents and they were all left bewildered. "They noticed something very special about Laurent," said Lydia to CNN. "They told us he is like a sponge," said Alexander his father.. "The absorption of information is no problem for Laurent," his father continued. "I think the focus will be on research and applying the knowledge to discover new things." Laurent comes from a family of doctors, but his mum has her own theory as to why her son is so intelligent. "I ate a lot of fish during the pregnancy," she joked. His school, the Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) says they have allowed Laurent to complete his course faster than other students while his parents say a lot of Univeristies have approached them to let their son do his PH.D program in their school. "That is not unusual," said Sjoerd Hulshof, education director of the TUE bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, in a statement.. "Special students that have good reasons for doing so can arrange an adjusted schedule. In much the same way we help students who participate in top sport.". Hulshof said Laurent is "simply extraordinary" and praised the youngster. "Laurent is the fastest student we have ever had here," he said. "Not only is he hyper intelligent but also a very sympathetic boy." Source: https://www.denland.site/2019/11/a-9-year-old-genius-set-to-graduate-as.html

From today, Instagram will start a trial that hides the number of likes on the posts of users in the US. This has already been tested in Australia, Canada, Japan and a handful of other territories. If it works in the US, the change is expected to be rolled out globally, with users of Instagram all over the world having their number of likes hidden from their viewers. According to Instagram, the decision to hide your number of likes from others is so that users can "focus on the photos and videos you share, not how many likes they get." Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said hiding the "like" feature will help people's well-being and health. Speaking last week at the Wired25 conference about this new development, Mosseri said: "We will make decisions that hurt the business if they help people's wellbeing and health." A 2017 study found that Instagram was the worst social network for your mental health, linking it to depression and anxiety. But do you think hiding the number of "likes" from other Instagram users will solve anything? How do you feel about this new development?

Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode is elated that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, has been vindicated after a High Court in Abuja threw out a suit filed by celebrity photographer, Busola Dakolo over alleged rape. Fani-Kayode pronounced shame on Dakolo and all others trying to cast aspersion on Fatoyinbo and his ministry. Dakolo had filed the suit against Fatoyinbo after she claimed that the COZA pastor raped her 20 years ago when she was 16 years in Ilorin, Kwara State. A High Court in Bwari, Abuja had on Thursday threw out the case filed by Dakolo against Fatoyinbo. This came after Fatoyinbo filed an objection and an affidavit at the Court reiterating that Busola’s statements were false and concocted to embarrass, scandalise and ridicule him. He argued that from the inception, she sought the attention of the media and press, and brought the civil action even while the Police’s investigation was ongoing. Justice Othman A. Musa in her ruling said the matter amounted to injustice, and an abuse of judicial process as the case was empty and purely sentimental, adding that the case was aimed more at cruelty than obtaining justice. Reacting to the development, Fani-Kayode said “Now that Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA Global has been vindicated, I say shame on the accuser of the brethren & all those who mocked and crucified him without seeing any hard and credible evidence. “Those that make false allegations do great damage to the cause of decency and justice.” Source:https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/11/15/fatoyinbo-vindicated-shame-on-busola-dakolo-fani-kayode/

The Imo Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has confirmed the arrest of one Mr Uzochi Agbakwuru, an alleged notorious drug dealer in the state. A statement issued in Owerri on Wednesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Uche Sampson, stated that Agbakwuru was arrested on October 18. Sampson described as “spurious”, a petition by one Mr Frank Agbakwuruibe, urging Gov. Emeka Ihedioha to order the “unconditional” release of Agbakwuru by the agency. He described the suspect, who hails from Umuemeri Ogwu, Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo, as “a notorious drug peddler.” He stated that the suspect had been on NDLEA’s watchlist for over 18 months before his arrest. Sampson also stated that previous attempts made to arrest him were unsuccessful “because of his strong counter-intelligence network.” According to the statement, 150 grammes of dried weeds confirmed to be cannabis sativa were allegedly found in his possession. He described the offence as a violation of the provisions of NDLEA Act, hence the resolve by the agency to track him down “by means of tactical decoy and subterfuge.” The NDLEA spokesman said that the suspect was arrested at his residence, where he attempted to escape. He alleged that the suspect raised false alarm, calling on his criminal associates and sympathisers, who later turned violent in order to obstruct NDLEA’s legitimate duty. Sampson alleged that the sympathisers attacked the agency’s operatives and their operational vehicle with machetes, stones, iron and other dangerous objects. He said that the operatives sustained varying degrees of injuries, while the vehicle was seriously vandalised. Sampson said that the matter had since been filed before the Federal High Court, Owerri. He said that after the arrest of the suspect, he was given adequate first aid treatment. “We wish to condemn the description of the arrest and detention of Agbakwuru, a notorious drug dealer, who has been on our watchlist.” “It is noteworthy that the suspect later volunteered his statement under caution in which he claimed ownership of the 150 grammes of cannabis sativa found in his possession,” he said. The NDLEA officer thanked the suspect’s kinsmen for their solidarity and cooperation with the agency during his arrest. He gave assurance that the suspect would continue to enjoy “all the rights relating to care and custody of suspects,” pending his arraignment or transfer to any other detention facility outside the NDLEA.

Reno Omokri seems reluctant to let the Indimis have the last word and he has issued another statement addressing the family after his online spat with the influential Indimi family. It all began with Reno lauding billionaire Femi Otedola for donating 5 Billion Naira to Save The Children Fund to aid impoverished children in three Northern states - Katsina, Adamawa and Borno. While praising Otedola, Reno criticized the Indimi family and other wealthy Northern families who he says do not contribute to lift the poor people surrounding them out of poverty. Reno wrote on Monday: Femi Otedola has just put the billionaires of the Northeast to shame. Where are the Indimis, the Mai Deribe family and other oil billionaires from the Northeast? Google their names and some of the first pictures you will see are of their children in private jets, marrying Presidents children and displaying obscene wealth while surrounded by extreme poverty. It took a Good Samaritan stranger to do what natives of the Northeast failed to do! Shame on them and God bless the talakawa that they have refused to look after. Reno's message was replied by Zara Indimi, one of the Indimi daughters. Reno hit back at her reply and Rahma, another of the Indimi daughters, responded again by sharing a screenshot of a UN invitation letter sent to the Indimi family. The screenshot was shared as proof that the family actually helps the poor. Now, Reno has responded to the Indimi daughters. Sharing a photo of Femi Otedola with Bill Gates, he wrote: To whom it may concern, Truth is hatred to those who hate truth. You people should go and eat INDOMIE and think of what I told you. How do you think Boko Haram started. You can’t be flaunting unimaginable wealth in the midst of unimaginable poverty and expect the poor not to rise up. You live in OBSCENE WEALTH in the midst of EXTREME POVERTY. That is why the poor peasants around you feel that book (Boko) is HARAM, because it has produced your sort of wealth. The wealth that SWALLOWS while the poor WALLOW. If you must SWALLOW anything, let it be your PRIDE. The wealth that you flaunt can feed the IDPs around you, 1% of your wealth can close down ALL the IDP camps in Borno. You lavish hundreds of millions on parties that we see on Ovation and LIB and you call me SILLY? Look in the mirror. You claim the international community sees what you are doing. Of course. They saw your million dollar donation to an American University that is already a multimillionaire and didn’t need the money. Stop throwing tantrums and go and feed your starving masses! SWALLOW your pride and learn from @femiotedola and @thisisbillgates! #WhoTheCapFits #TableShaker Source: https://www.denland.site/2019/11/1-of-your-wealth-can-close-down-all-idp.html

38-year-old Ikechukwu “Ike” Amadi said to be a dual citizen of Nigeria and Canada, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of the fraud charges against him. The convict who is a member of which started off as a fraternal organization in Nigerian universities in the 1970s before eventually evolving into an organized crime group, was linked to a complex international fraud scheme responsible for losses in excess of $10 million. The fraudulent scheme was uncovered after six years of painstaking investigation carried out by FBI agents and federal prosecutors following a complaint of a clever check-fraud scam that had bilked a small Georgia law firm out of nearly $100,000. Ike and 14 other defendants were accused of “sitting in internet cafes in Nigeria to conduct fraud online.” FBI Special Agent Devin Williams, who headed the investigation said the convict and others carried out “romance scams" in which they posed as potential suitors by sticking to a detailed script to gradually charm their victims, often lonely widows. They also reportedly conducted a research on their victims' hometown and further claimed to live nearby, all aimed at luring them with a phony investment opportunity, convincing them to cash in their retirement savings or home equity and wire it into a bank account in the United States. Ike was linked to the fraud case after a law firm lost about $96,000 after someone posed as a business owner seeking payment of a debt from another company. The bank account the money was sent to was found to belong to one Muhammad Naji. He corporated with FBI agents, revealing that he worked for a Canadian who goes by the name "Melvin" . Melvin was found to be Ike. Naji was described as a money mule whose job was to open bank accounts often in the names of shell companies, store the ill-gotten monies as deposits and send it overseas before the theft could be discovered. He received 5 to 10 percent of the stolen funds, Ike also got a cut while the rest goes to the . Naji identified other money mules which include one Priscilla Ellis, a Texas woman who helped create high-quality forgeries of checks and other documents. The lady whose prison release date is a century away, made headlines after she arranged the contract killings of witnesses who had testified against her. Ike who fought against being extradited to the United States was arrested in 2015, pleaded guilty in July 2019 to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud. Tampa Bay Times reported that the total loss attributed to Ike totaled more than $10 million and the 15-year-sentence issued by U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday was at the high end of what federal guidelines suggested.

The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has noted with great concern the ''negative'' perception of the Scheme's dress code, arising mostly from some Corps Members' disobedience to the dictates of the code. Recall that just recently two corps members identified as Okafor Love Obianuju with registration number EB/19C/0523 and Odji Oritsetsolaye (EB/19C/0530) were sent packing from the camp in Ebonyi state, for refusing to wear trousers given to the them in camp by NYSC officials because it was against their faith. In a statement issued by Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, NYSC’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Ibrahim urged corps members to always adhere to the dress code. "For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme has maintained one dress code since 22nd May, 1973 it was established, devoid of ethnic, religious or gender bias. The dress code remains, depending on the activity: a pair of khaki trousers and shirt; crested vest; white vest; a pair of white shorts; a pair of zebra - stripped socks; a pair of jungle boots; a pair of canvas; belt and fez cap.," the statement reads. "It is imperative to state that the National Youth Service Corps Camp, predicated on discipline and decency is a training ground for Corps Members. Any other dress code, contrary to the officially sanctioned one will not promote the course of decency. "For instance, it will be utterly reprehensible for a female Corps Member to embark on obstacle crossing, and so many other physical training activities on camp, including parade in skirt or gown, which obviously will expose her indecently, thus, leaving little or nothing to imagination. "The Management observed with dismay the defacing of the NYSC uniform by some Corps Members by reshaping their khaki trousers, making them skin - tight which unduly exposes their curvatures, particularly the female Corps Members. Some others in the name of religion turn the pair of trousers issued to them into skirt. "The Scheme therefore considers the unwholesome act an affront to decency on one hand, as well as constituted authority on the other. It was for that reason that the Scheme came up with the policy of having prospective Corps Members sign an undertaking form to the effect that they will not deface the NYSC uniform, but abide by the dress code of the Corps. "It is apt to state that NYSC does not issue hijab as part of the dress code. Rather, the Scheme permits the use of white hijab which must not be more than shoulder length and must be tucked into the uniform. The policy of allowing hijab which does not deface the NYSC uniform is not new as it has been there. "The National Youth Service Corps wishes to assure Nigerians and place on record that it will continue to be single-minded in pursuit of its core mandate of achieving a united, integrated, egalitarian and hate-free nation. It shall never do anything untoward to undermine or abridge gratuitously the rights of individuals or institutions based on parochial considerations."

Kanye who was joined on stage by his Yeezy collaborator Steven Smith started by saying" “When people say it’s crass to call yourself a billionaire, I say I might legally change my name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West for a year until y’all understand exactly what it is,” he said. “It will be on the license plate.” He then started another conversation on his plan to run for president. “When I run for president in 2024 —” West said, to laughter from the audience. “What y’all laughing at?” West said that if he were elected president, he would “create so many jobs.” “I’m not going to run, I’m going to walk,” he said. “What they’re saying is Kanye’s crazy — one and three African Americans are in jail and all the celebrities are in jail also because they can’t say nothing because they’re so scared.” West also said he believes African American voters are treated as a “demographic” alone, something he said he has experienced as an African American fashion designer. “As black designers out of America, you can’t have an opinion,” he said. “You can only be the consumer… you can only be a demographic.” “And that a boardroom says ‘this is the black demographic…This is who you’re supposed to vote on,” he continued. “This is what you’re supposed to buy. This is your Popeye’s chicken sandwich you’re supposed to eat on. I have seen the boardroom and back. And it’s completely the concept of a demographic.” Source: https://www.denland.site/2019/11/kanye-west-announces-plans-to-run-for.html
