The dangerous quest for 'better life' abroad! Two Nigerian siblings aged 11 and 10, were rescued in the Mediterranean on Friday after losing their mother while on a dangerous journey to Europe.

The heartbreaking photos of the boy and girl by Associated Press were published by Dailymail as they sobbed and comforted each other aboard a rescue boat.

According to Dailymail, the children are part of 150 migrants rescued by an NGO’s boat while trying to make the journey from Libya to Europe aboard an overcrowded craft.

A migration group had said more than 3,000 people had died while trying to cross the Mediterranean this year, nearly a 60 percent increase from this time in 2015.

The latest rescue came after Italy on Thursday launched a hard-hitting campaign on the Internet, TV, radio and social media to warn African migrants of the dangers they face in trying to reach Europe

I used that caption for a reason. I often advise ladies to pray before marriage and to be very prayerful in marriage, every day whether you are very happy, happy, not happy. It is the responsibility of a wife to ensure peace reigns in her home, don’t get married and forget your role as a wife – home builder.

As a lady, it is better you don’t get married than for you to marry a man blindly without praying and you think the easy way out is to run if he’s beating you and go be with another man. You are running into Adultery with your eyes wide open and you will blame yourself when the consequences come.

Women, save your marriage with prayer and counselling, stop thinking you can change God’s rules due to the fact that your husband beats you. If you had prayed seriously like someone who wanted to be in a happy marriage, you would have known if that man is good for your destiny or not. But many ladies focus mainly on material things, hence they fall into the hands of the “wrong” man.

Women rights activist, Joe Odumakin shared the pics above of Gloria Izuakor, who she helped when her husband battered her, saying all his well now and the couple have reconciled. Her words:

“Remember Gloria Izuakor? She came with testimonies of greater experiences in their reconciled marriage. Congrats!”

May the good Lord save us from marriage mistakes. Amen!

Men dats so much o, well sports is truly an avenue for true generation of revenue. PMB and NFF get that

Who cares how much this guy cost? Just land this lad and let's hit the ground running . If juve can sign higu who's 29 yrs @ £76m, Everton rejecting £50m for stone and demanding £75m from Chelsea for lukaku then Paul is not on the high side considering his age and potentials. besides Zlatan has officially signed, only one week and united have made £75m from the sales of Zlatan's Jersey, by next week who knows maybe £200 or more.

From a business as well as football sense, it's a good deal.

I can beat my chest, Champions League football is guaranteed next season.

Blige has claimed irreconcilable differences and plans to move forward with a legal split from her husband.

Mary J. Blige has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband Martin Isaacs.

According to TMZ, the singer has pulled the plug on the 13-year marriage to Martin, who has also been the singer’s manager over the years.

The gossip site claims the 45 year-old cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the alleged split, although the documents reportedly fail to list a separation date, calling it ‘to be determined’.


It’s also thought the singer has asked the judge to ‘block Isaac’s’ ability to get spousal support’, while the alleged document does not mention a prenup.

The couple do not have any children together. Blige and Isaacs were married on December 7, 2003 in a private ceremony.


Blige has not commented publicly on the split at this time.

Well, from virtually all the comments above, it's clear that our mothers are more precious than our wives.


Conflict of interest.

Mother's are irreplaceable.

But he should have saved his wife first.

An HIV-positive Malawian man, who says he is paid to have sex with children as part of initiation rites, has been arrested on the president's orders.

Eric Aniva, a sex worker known in Malawi as a "hyena", was the subject of a BBC feature last week.

He told the BBC that he did not mention his HIV status to those who hire him.

President Peter Mutharika said the police should investigate and charge him over the cases of defilement he had seemingly confessed to.

The BBC's Ed Butler, who covered the story about Malawi's sexual "cleansing practices", says in some remote southern regions of the country it is traditional for girls to be made to have sex with a man after their first menstruation.

Some of the girls are as young as 12 years old, he reported.

What is known as a "hyena" in Malawi culture is usually a man who has sex with widows or married women who cannot fall pregnant.

'Horrific practices'

"While we must promote positive cultural values and positive socialisation of our children, the president says harmful cultural and traditional practices cannot be accepted in this country," presidential spokesman Mgeme Kalilani said in a statement

Mr Aniva would "further be investigated for exposing the young girls to contracting HIV and further be charged accordingly", he said.

The president had also ordered all men and parents involved to be investigated, Mr Kalilani said.

"All people involved in this malpractice should be held accountable for subjecting their children and women to this despicable evil," the statement said.

"These horrific practices although done by a few also tarnish the image of the whole nation of Malawi internationally and bring shame to us all."

Last year Malawi banned child marriage, raising the legal age of marriage from 15 to 18 - something activists hoped would put an end to early sexual initiations.

Mr Aniva told the BBC that he planned to stop taking part in sexual cleansing practices.

Congratulations are in order bro.

I blame the dogs which left their styles in public and it has landed good innocent people in trouble because of trying to copy. I think these couple used to cheat exams all the way. The dogs must sue them for plagiarism.

(1) Prepare yourselves and talk to each other: Most
people want to sleep with people who are kind,
happy, funny, physically attractive – whatever
made you fancy each other in the first place.
Hopefully, you still tick each other’s boxes – no,
that’s not a euphemism. Tell them they are the
bee’s knees. Tell them again. Keep telling them.
This is important.

(2) Forget spontaneity: Happy, gorgeous couples
getting it on in unlikely and exotic locations are
fictional or on reality TV. You need to plan this
stuff in the same way that a trip to the shops
with a newborn looks like you’re off on
holiday. Ignore all the well-intentioned
nonsense about how sex shouldn’t be a habit. It
really, really should become a habit – a good
one.

(3) If you want spontaneity – and can afford it –
leave. Together, obviously. Get someone who
likes fish fingers and Andy Day from CBeebies
to look after your kids for a weekend and go
somewhere on your own. You can get plastered
and remember what it feels like to snog each
other drunkenly. Hopefully, it feels nice. You
might even have sex. Possibly not in a bed.

(4) Go to bed together: There’s no point whingeing
that you don’t have sex if you don’t put
yourselves in the same place at the same time.
That means actually going to bed at the same
time. There’s nothing more dispiriting than
waiting hopefully in the sack while someone’s
still downstairs de-fleaing the dog.

(5) Fit locks on the bedroom door: There’s nothing
worse for a flagging libido than the sound of
tiny feet approaching.

(6) Set the, ahem, love alarm: OK, so the heady days
of morning sex seem like a long time ago. But,
with a bit of willpower, you can bring them
back. Wake up half an hour earlier and
embrace the quickie.

(7) Distraction: An hour of the Clangers on a
Saturday morning while you and your other
half lag the pipes upstairs in the loft – yes, that
is a euphemism – is totally appropriate for the
sake of your relationship.

( If all else fails , remember the joy of snogging: If
anyone’s feeling a bit self-conscious about her
post-baby body or having eaten nothing but
takeaways since the nipper turned up, and can’t
cope any more, just have a fumble.

If all the doors are closing, how do you open
them? That’s the question that’s been
troubling me all summer. How do you keep
working for tolerance when the tide of opinion
has shifted against cosmopolitanism, when a
society has become terrified of difference?

Last spring I had an email from a woman called
Anna, who asked me if I’d like to be involved
with Refugee Tales, a project that works to
bring about an end to the indefinite detention
of refugees in Britain. We’ll pair you with a
former detainee, she said. He’ll tell you his
story, and then you’ll write it up .

I met R in the foyer of King’s College. Spring in
the air, the Thames running under the cool
green shade of plane trees at the bottom of the
street. R looked sick, but said he wanted to go
ahead with our conversation.

As a boy, he’d been involved in student protests
against corrupt elections in his country.
Everyone had been arrested. The booking
policeman happened to recognise his name,
which was the same as a relative in a position of
power. Leaning close, he told R that he was
going to be transferred to a secret prison, and
that if he went there he would never come out
alive.

Two days later, everyone was loaded into black
jeeps. R’s swerved away from the convoy and
took him to a hotel. His relative was there. “I
am not sending you to France,” he said. “I’m
going to send you to a country where they have
human rights.”

His case went to trial 17 times. On
the 18th time, the judge was kind.

R and I were sitting opposite each other in a
windowless room, on plastic chairs; a kind of
interrogation chamber. I hated asking him to
tell me his story because I knew he had told it
and told it and told it, that he had recited this
repertoire of facts, that in some way he had
vanished behind them.

At first things were good for him in England. A
flat in London, money from the government, a
college course, a degree. And then a mistake, a
stupid error of judgment. He bought a plasma
television from an acquaintance. The next thing
he knew, the police were at his door. He was
arrested, he was sentenced for receiving stolen
goods. He went to prison, he served his time, he
was released.

Outside the prison, UK border guards were
waiting for him. While he was inside, the law
had changed. If you were sentenced for more
than a year, you were automatically a subject
for deportation.

Now the nightmare began. He was held, in a
detention centre, for almost a year more, and
when he was released the outside world, too,
had become a prison. He had to wear a tag and
keep to a curfew; he had to report to the border
authority three times a week. He couldn’t work.
A return train ticket to the place where he had
to report was £24.

He went back to the detention centre yet again.
He was crying as he told me what it was like to
serve an indefinite sentence, time with no end
in sight. “Miss, your dog couldn’t endure it,” he
said. His case went to trial 17 times over the
course of three years. On the 18th time, the
judge was kind.”

He was released but, after 20 years in Britain, is
still not at liberty. He is depressed, he doesn’t
like to be around people, feels afraid of them.
Sometimes he hears voices that tell him to kill
himself. Sometimes he thinks he’s dreaming,
that nothing is very real. He still can’t work,
still has to report in every week, still doesn’t
have indefinite leave to remain. Soon, he told
me, that might change. Almost there, I said, and
he said bitterly: “It’s not about ‘almost there’,
it’s half of my age. Two decades and a half.”
I felt sick with shame when he said that. Shame
at my country, shame at the squandering, the
theft of time and talent. Shame: the signature
sensation of this summer.

Two months later, I caught the train from St
Pancras, rattling over the marshes of Kent. The
Refugee Tales project had organised a walk
from Canterbury to London , a pilgrimage
straight out of Chaucer. Each night a writer
came to join them, to tell the stories of people
who exist in silence, behind the locked doors of
detention centres.

It was 10 days after the referendum. I stopped
for a drink on Faversham high street. A red-
faced man, already drunk, was looking at the
event programme on his iPhone. “A right bunch
of lefties,” he said. “Shami Chakrabarti, that
bitch.”

I arrived at the Assembly Rooms in a state of
despair. Who’s going to come, who’s going to
care about the treatment of refugees in this
climate, when we’ve already slammed
the doors.

But people did come. People came who’d been
walking all day. Old people, teenagers, former
detainees. Suddenly, the room was full;
suddenly I was in another Britain: a Britain of
patchworked banners and communal pots of
dahl and rice; a Britain cheerfully, earnestly
invested in being kind.

I read R’s story. At the end I talked about how
ashamed I was of my country, and how
haunted I was by the question of what R might
have done with his life. Anna was sitting
opposite me, in the front row, and this tough,
dogged, indefatigable woman was sobbing.
I started to feel hope again that evening. Right
now it seems as if everyone in the world is at
loggerheads, breaking down into smaller and
smaller units, on a relentless crusade for some
kind of impossible, insane purity. I find it
terrifying, this dream of inhabiting a world
populated by people exactly like you.

It doesn’t have to be like that. We could stop
being so lethally afraid of strangers, so
dangerous in our self‑protection.

This is why stories are such a stealthy force. In
telling someone’s story, you make them real,
just as in forcing someone to stay silent you
destroy them. And in making people real you
have to make space for them, to acknowledge
their presence in the world. R, for example,
twisting his baseball cap in his hands, saying: “I
was sent to a country with human rights.”

Donald Trump has claimed that the European
Union was created to “beat the United States
when it comes to making money” in an
interview with NBC News.

Speaking to Chuck Todd, whom the Republican
nominee has repeatedly berated as “sleepy-
eyed”, Trump also said of the EU “the reason
that it got together was like a consortium so that
it could compete with the United States”.

The European Union was founded as the
European Coal and Steel Community in 1952 in
an effort to promote strong cross-border ties in
Europe and avoid future wars. It has since
evolved to a customs union and eventually to
the transnational entity devoted to removing
internal trade barriers, building a common
market and a fiscal union. Its development and
growth has been repeatedly supported by the
United States under presidents of both parties.

Trump’s anti-European statements come after
the Republican nominee repeatedly praised
Brexit, the vote by the United Kingdom to leave
the European Union, including in a press
conference in the day after the referendum held
at a Trump golf course in Scotland.

In the interview, Trump defended his recent
attacks on Nato, saying that countries in the
organization needed to pay more to the United
States in order for Washington to meet its treaty
obligations of mutual defense. In doing so,
Trump called Senate majority leader Mitch
McConnell “100% wrong” for rebutting his
comments earlier this week. The Kentucky
senator told Politico : “Nato is the most
important military alliance in world history. I
want to reassure our Nato allies that if any of
them get attacked, we’ll be there to defend
them.”

Trump also called both the World Trade
Organization and Nafta “disasters”.

The Republican nominee also said that his call
to ban people from the United States from “any
nation that has been compromised by
terrorism” was an expansion on his infamous
Muslim ban of December, 2015. “I actually
don’t think it’s a rollback. In fact, you could say
it’s an expansion,” said Trump. He added: “I’m
looking now at territory. People were so upset
when I used the word Muslim. Oh, you can’t
use the word Muslim. Remember this. And I’m
okay with that, because I’m talking territory
instead of Muslim.”

Trump also stood by longtime friend Roger
Ailes , who left Fox News this week after being
accused of sexual harassment by a number of
former and current employees. “He’s been a
friend of mine for a long time,” said Trump.
The Republican nominee went on to describe
the situation as “very sad. Because he’s a very
good person. I’ve always found him to be just a
very, very good person”.

Trump added: “I feel very badly. But a lot of
people are thinking he’s going to run my
campaign.”

He also confirmed reports that he would seek
revenge against former presidential nominee
rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz by funding a
super PAC in the 2018 cycle to help defeat their
respective attempts to win the gubernatorial
election in Ohio and US Senate election in
Texas.

“I’ll probably do a super PAC, you know, when
they run against Kasich, for $10m to $20m,
against Ted Cruz,” said Trump. “And maybe
one other person that I’m thinking about.”
Trump also initially hedged on whether he’d
support the Senate candidacy of former Ku Klux
Klan candidate David Duke, who announced
Friday that he would mount a bid as a
Republican in his home state of Louisiana.
When asked: “Would you support a Democrat
over David Duke,” Trump responded: “I guess,
depending on who the Democrat was, but the
answer would be yes.”

Duke has cited Trump as an inspiration for his
candidacy and is a long-time endorser. The
Republican nominee has faced controversy
during his campaign for his unwillingness to
condemn Duke at times.

Plans to allow the United Kingdom an
exemption from EU rules on freedom of
movement for up to seven years while retaining
access to the single market are being considered
in European capitals as part of a potential deal
on Brexit.

Senior British and EU sources have confirmed
that despite strong initial resistance from
French president François Hollande in talks
with prime minister Theresa May last week, the
idea of an emergency brake on the free
movement of people that would go far further
than the one David Cameron negotiated before
the Brexit referendum is being examined.

If such an agreement were struck, and a strict
time limit imposed, diplomats believe it could
go a long way towards addressing concerns of
the British people over immigration from EU
states, while allowing the UK full trade access to
the European market.

While the plan will prove highly controversial
in many member states, including France,
Poland and other central and eastern European
nations, the attraction is that it would limit the
economic shock to the EU economy from Brexit
by keeping the UK in the single market, and
lessen the political damage to the European
project that would result from complete
divorce.

High-ranking UK officials said that while it was
“very early days”, some form of extended
emergency brake was “certainly one of the
ideas now on the table”.

Any such agreement would, however, mean the
UK would still have to pay a substantial
contribution into the EU budget, although
probably at a lower rate, and would lose its seat
at the negotiating table when rules on the single
market were determined, because it would not
be a full member of the union.

During the referendum campaign, the leave
camp, led by Boris Johnson, now the foreign
secretary, and Michael Gove, suggested that the
UK would save £350m a week in EU
contributions as a result of leaving both the EU
and the single market. They said the money
could be spent on the National Health Service.
But on a visit to the United Nations in New York
this weekend, Johnson appeared to change his
tune, suggesting he now believed a deal could
be struck that would allow the UK access to the
single market with new limits on free
movement rules for European workers.

“I’ve absolutely no doubt that that balance can
be struck, and over the next few weeks we’ll be
discussing that in the government and with our
European friends and partners,” Johnson said.
“Everybody wishes to make fast progress in the
economic interests both of Britain and of the
European Union . I think there is very much a
deal there to be done, and the faster we can get
it done the better.”


If the rights of EU citizens now in the
UK can be guaranteed, then I think
we can look at some form of
emergency brake
Dutch MEP Hans van Baalen


EU diplomats and advisers believe the EU
should try to keep the UK in the single market if
possible, while not giving it such a good deal
that other member states would be tempted to
follow it out of the club.

Speaking in her capacity as deputy director of
the Rome-based Institute for International
Affairs, Nathalie Tocci, who is a special adviser
to Federica Mogherini, the EU high
representative for foreign and security policy,
said she believed that the Italian government
would back an emergency brake as a way to
keep the UK in the single market.

She added that it would have to be time limited,
in order not to violate EU treaties. “But I see no
reason why it could not last, say, between seven
and 10 years. This was how long temporary
derogations lasted after the 2004 enlargement,
which the UK chose not to benefit from,” she
said.

The Dutch MEP Hans van Baalen, who is
president of the Liberal group in the European
parliament and a member of the same party as
Dutch prime minster Mark Rutte, said the plan
should be taken forward, but would require the
UK to give firm assurances about the right of EU
citizens currently living and working in Britain
to remain in the country.

“If the rights of EU citizens now living the UK
can be guaranteed permanently by the UK
government, then I think we can look at some
form of emergency brake on free movement of
labour,” he said. “This could be invoked when
the British labour market is under particular
pressure. I would try to limit it to the UK at this
stage.

Popular student exchange could face post-Brexit
axe

“It is difficult to talk in too much detail as this
will take a long time to negotiate. But given the
difficulties we face, we must try to be flexible. It
is vital that we have the UK in the single market
as much as possible for the UK economy and for
the economies of all EU member states.”

In his attempt to renegotiate the terms of the
UK’s EU membership before the referendum,
Cameron secured a limited emergency brake
that would have enabled Britain to restrict and
phase in EU migrants’ access to in-work
benefits for the four years after they first
arrived in this country.

The UK would be able to apply the “brake” for
an initial seven years. But after the Brexit vote
the EU declared the deal null and void.

Under current European Economic Area rules
(which cover EU member states as well as non-
EU members like Norway, which has full access
to the single market) there is already an option
to apply “safeguard measures” in the event of
“serious economic, societal or environmental
difficulties of a sectorial or regional nature
liable to persist”.

This would allow Norway to impose restrictions
on free movement but it has never invoked the
clause, because, diplomats say, it is wary of
reprisals from EU member states.

Does dat dont cheat can cheat

Are you talking from personal experience?

Even if you're in a solid relationship, you've got to admit: At one point or another, even if it was just for a moment, you've wondered if your partner was cheating on you. Luckily, for most of us, the thought is just a thought and our significant others stay loyal.

But there are some ways to tell if that special someone might be cheating on you -- and the answers lie in the statistics. These are, according to research, the people and instances that might lead to cheating. They're not foolproof, but they're definitely something to think about.

1, Teachers.
Infidelity-based dating site Ashley Madison did a study that showed that teachers -- particularly female teachers -- are more likely to cheat.


2, Former Cheaters.
Research from the University of Alabama shows that people who have a history of cheating are more likely to do it again.


3, Kinky Partners.
One intimacy expert says one way to tell if a man is cheating on you is if he suddenly wants to do more in the bedroom -- perhaps because his mistress taught him.


4, Money Matters.
Wealthier men have power and riches at their fingertips, so they often feel more entitled to cheat.


5, Poorer Women.
Studies show that poorer women are more likely to cheat on their spouses. Some evolutionary biologists suggest that it's connected to climbing the genetic—and financial—ladder.


6, The French.
It's not surprising that intimacy gadget brand LELO's global study showed that 75 percent of the French admitted to cheating.


7, Social Media Addicts.
A Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking study showed that people who use more social media platforms cheat more often than those who don't.


8, Tall Men.
One study showed that men over 5'10" cheated more frequently on their partners.

President Muhammadu Buhari has shrugged off suggestions that his public rating and acceptance among majority of Nigerians has nosedived over a year after he was overwhelmingly voted into office.

He insists that the generality of Nigerians still believe in him as they did pre-2015 presidential elections.

The president also faulted the assumption that his government focused all its attention on the anti-corruption war to the detriment of governance.

Buhari, who spoke in an extensive interview with the magazine, African Leadership, pointed out that there is nowhere in the world where transition from an old order to a new one has ever been easy.

It would be recalled that a national survey by the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), entitled The Buharimeter Report, had indicated that there were gaps between campaign promises, public expectations, government policies and actions.

“These need to be aligned properly going forward”, the report said, adding “Attempts sometimes by the president’s party to disown certain promises made during the elections will not serve the government well”.

“What is required is to focus on achieving the promises by prioritizing them and carrying Nigerians along if there are challenges along the way”, it added.

But President Buhari debunked these findings by the CDD in the African Leadership interview, insisting that he has neither lost the goodwill nor alienated the masses.

“Yes, I was elected by an overwhelming majority of Nigerians, and I am ever grateful for the opportunity I have been given to serve.

“However, I don’t consider the result of the so-called survey a slip in my public rating and acceptance. I appreciate the high expectations of Nigerians and as an administration we are working assiduously to deliver.

“We came in with a mantra of Change and the zeal to give a new lease of life to governance. Our zeal has remained the same and we are always prepared to make the difference.

“You will recall that when I was being sworn in, I emphasized that as a government, three key areas will be the priorities. The first is the need to rebuild the economy. I also pledged to fight insecurity while the third and equally important area is the fight against corruption”, he said.

The president also pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with his administration, saying: “Nigeria will soon be back on track”.

According to him, “Before now, we have been having sleepless nights in Nigeria with Boko Haram having field days in tormenting people, most especially in the North-Eastern part of the country. So far, we have shown resilience in stopping these people and yet many criticize the approach we are using.

“What I think our people should know is that a process of change is difficult as it requires endurance and patience. China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other great Asian countries had at different times passed through processes of change. They are far better off today.

“And some of these countries were at par with Nigeria in terms of development some five decades ago. We are attempting to do the same here to say let us stop building individuals, let us stop making those who serve in government get stupendously wealthy at the expense of ordinary Nigerians they had sworn to serve.

“Rather, we should concentrate on building strong institutions. Let us introduce economic prosperity by bringing in more investors to catalyze a sense of competition to grow our economy. Let there be law and order in our ways”.

President Buhari also asked Nigerians to continue to exercise patience, assuring that his government will not rest on its oars until it brings succour back to them and to the country.

On the worsening state of power supply in the country since he took over, the president said the nation will overcome the problem under his administration

He said:  “Let me assure you that we will surmount the challenge of power supply. We have mapped out a mix of electric power generation sources inclusive of thermal, solar, hydro, nuclear, coal and windmill.

“The idea is to adapt and embed these sources to areas that they are easily adaptable to. But more than that, we will reinvigorate and conclude the power sector privatization process and thereby ensure the whole value chain in the sector is populated by the private sector”.

On speculation that he has abandoned governance for only anti-corruption war, Buhari said: “it is not true that the fight against corruption is distracting my attention from the task of governance. You can sit back and review what we have done in the past one year and come up with your judgment. That will certainly assist you and other concerned Nigerians to reach the right conclusions”.

Chiefs and residents of Fumesua, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region are in shock over the discovery of a casket in front of the Fumesua palace.

No one has so far claimed responsibility for the casket.
Joynews’ Erastus Asare Donkor reports that the chief of Fumesua, Nana Esua Amoako has travelled, but one of the sub-chiefs poured libation before opening the casket in the presence of the police.

The casket, which was then slightly opened upon discovery by some residents of the town contains two bottles of schnapp, black and red calico and a letter allegely from a group by name, Concerned Citizens.

The letter appeals to the town chief, Nana Esua Amoako to consider returning a plot of land used as a cemetery he is alleged to have sold to a private developer without conducting due diligence.

It also said what the private contractor did by assembling heavy machines to “clear the whole site/land and deposited all the sand/mud/and the DEAD BODIES previously buried, and deposited them at an unknown place, is against custom.”
The letter also berates the chief for failing to “perform any RITUALS on the land, which developments are on going.”
This action of the chief and the developer, the group whose leaders are not known, believes is responsible for the death of “children, youth and middle aged citizens of Fumesua.”

An invitation has been thrown to Nana Esua Amoako to attend a meeting of the group which will be taking place on Sunday, July 24, to “support morally and spiritually” discussions.
The sub-chiefs are treating this as a spiritual issue and have called for a meeting to look into the matter.

Turkey prime minister says coup attempt foiled
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lands at Istanbul's Ataturk airport after coup attempt by army faction put down.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said early on Saturday that the situation in Turkey was "largely under control" after an attempt by an army faction to bring down the government, in comments to Turkish media.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's plane landed in Istanbul after the announcement was made, officials said, after thousands of people heeded a call from the president to take to the streets and protest against the attempted coup.

Late on Friday, sections of the army had officially declared a coup and martial law, saying they had "taken control of the country" as Istanbul's main airport was closed and fighter jets were seen in the skies.

Turkey's intelligence agency MIT was targeted by hijacked helicopters but the coup attempt was "foiled", its spokesman told NTV television.

Yildirim also told NTV that a no-fly zone had been declared over the capital, Ankara.

The broadcaster also reported that nearly 50 soldiers had been arrested.

Yusuf to be named Chief Coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has secured a $1.5 million bond from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to take care of the salary and other emoluments of Super Eagles’ foreign coach, reports AfricanFootball.com.

The Federal Government has made it clear it will not pay for any foreign coach hired by the NFF for the Super Eagles ahead of the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, but could approve such appointment if the federation guaranteed the payment of such a coach.

“The NFF now has a bond of $1.5 million from NNPC and so they can employ a foreign coach,” a top official said.


“The era of the federation owing coaches their salaries will now be history.”
Frenchman Paul le Guen, Belgian coach, Tom Saintfiet and the country’s caretaker coach, Salisu Yusuf, have been shortlisted for the Super Eagles top post.

The NFF said the successful coach will now be announced on July 18.

Nigeria is drawn in a tough World Cup qualifying group that has Africa’s number one team Algeria, nine-time World Cup finalists, Cameroun and 2012 African champions, Zambia.

The Eagles begin their qualifying campaign for Russia 2018 on October 3 in Zambia.

Meanwhile, the NFF have expressed confidence they will convince the caretaker coach, Salisu Yusuf, to work with a foreign coach even after he insisted he wishes to head the Super Eagles on a permanent basis.

The 54-year-old Yusuf has been assistant coach to Stephen Keshi, Sunday Oliseh and Samson Siasia, and he has made it very clear he now wishes to lead the Super Eagles beginning with the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.

However, the NFF will on today consider either Paul Le Guen or Tom Saintfiet for the top Eagles post, while also getting Yusuf on board but as chief coach with a renegotiated contract and more responsibilities.

And already a number of top personalities have reached out to the former Enyimba and Kano Pillars coach to accept this role.

A Chilean supporter in possession of the ball skied by
Lionel Messi in this year’s Copa America Centenario
final penalty shootout is prepared to sell the prized
possession for in excess of €27,000, because of safety
concerns.


With the deciding match of the United States-hosted
tournament locked at 0-0 after 120 minutes of action,
the 29-year-old icon proceeded to send his spot-kick
high over the bar to hand Chile an advantage, which they
duly took to secure their second successive Copa
America title.


One lucky fan behind the goal was able to get his hands
on the little piece of history, but despite feeling
privileged to have the ball used by the Barcelona star,
Pedro Vazquez admitted that he is set to auction off the
cherished item before it becomes a target for burglars.


“The truth is that if the ball becomes any more valuable,
it would be a risk to have it in my house,” he told
reporters.


“I could sell it, but it would depend on the
circumstances.


“It is nice to have the ball, but if it keeps rising in price,
I’ll sell.”


It is believed that Vazquez could rake in a substantial
amount of money from the sale of the ball if it were to
go to auction in the coming months.


Following the 4-2 shootout defeat at the MetLife Stadium
in New Jersey, Argentina hold the unwanted record of
having lost four major tournament finals in just five
years.


In the immediate aftermath of the game, Messi promptly
announced his retirement from international football as
a result of the latest Albiceleste disappointment.

Was John the Baptist really the prophet Elijah?

Ayanda, wife of South African gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane has advised women to not only pray and cook but to also add twerking to the list of wifely duties.
Ayanda, who has been married to the gospel star for nine years, is quoted in Drum magazine as saying:



“You pray, you cook and you twerk for your husband. He needs to find twerking at home. As much as I’m a wife, I can’t afford to stop being a girlfriend. When we close the bedroom door, it’s not time to pray. Intimacy is very important. You can’t downplay intimacy.”

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Plans To Remarry, Takes New Wife As Rev Anita Reverts To Maiden Name.




Members of Christ Embassy Church Worldwide are in for a surprise as the First Man of the House is planning to take another wife in a bid to prevent sexual sin.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome whose marriage to Anita crashed like a sand castle in 2014 is planning to remarry.

Insiders at CEC said the self acclaimed evangelist whose beautiful wife Anita Oyakhilome filed for divorce in 2014 is planning to take a new wife secretly over his inability to save his marriage and practice what he preaches.

Although he is yet to announce this openly, sources close to him said a large segment of his followers is already aware of his plan to marry another wife and that a lot of fair-skinned ladies in the church home and abroad have started jostling to become the next First Lady of CEC but the dandy Pastor is reportedly not interested in any of them.

Sources disclosed that the man who is very attracted to mixed ladies will surprise his followers if he eventually reveal the identity of the next Mrs Oyakhilome.

As he prepares to take a new wife, his ex-wife, Anita Oyakhilome has changed her last name back to her maiden name. She is now being called Miss Anita Ebhodaghe.

Vendoor:
Most men just want sex not baby... A lot of them aren't ready to father a baby. Its too much of responsibility for some, So they either deny you or run away.

Responsibility makes a man.

Nobel laureate John Steinbeck (1902-1968) might be best-known as the author of East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath, and Of Mice and Men, but he was also a prolific letter-writer. Steinbeck: A Life in Letters constructs an alternative biography of the iconic author through some 850 of his most thoughtful, witty, honest, opinionated, vulnerable, and revealing letters to family, friends, his editor, and a circle of equally well-known and influential public figures.

Among his correspondence is this beautiful response to his eldest son Thom’s 1958 letter, in which the teenage boy confesses to have fallen desperately in love with a girl named Susan while at boarding school. Steinbeck’s words of wisdom—tender, optimistic, timeless, infinitely sagacious—should be etched onto the heart and mind of every living, breathing human being.



New York
November 10, 1958
Dear Thom:

We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.

First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.

Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.

You say this is not puppy love. If you feel so deeply — of course it isn’t puppy love.

But I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it — and that I can tell you.

Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.



The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.

If you love someone — there is no possible harm in saying so — only you must remember that some people are very shy and sometimes the saying must take that shyness into consideration.

Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.

It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another — but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.

Lastly, I know your feeling because I have it and I’m glad you have it.

We will be glad to meet Susan. She will be very welcome. But Elaine will make all such arrangements because that is her province and she will be very glad to. She knows about love too and maybe she can give you more help than I can.

And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens — The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.

Love,

Fa
