Nairaland GeneralRunaway 13-year-old Boy Drives Across Europe. by Dotman01(op): 8:29pm On Jan 14, 2013
A 13-year-old runaway boy who
took his father's car and drove
nearly 1,000km (620 miles) across
Europe is being re-united with his
family. The boy fled after a reported row with
his parents in Italy. Having driven from Italy into Austria,
he proceeded to Germany where he
was stopped by police after his family
had alerted Interpol. The boy, who had been adopted two
years ago, was reportedly heading to
his original home country, Poland. The teenager lives in the northern
Italian town of Montebelluna. After an argument with his adoptive
mother - allegedly over a mobile
phone payment - the boy, a keen go-
cart racer, left on Thursday afternoon. And he seems to have been
completely confident at the wheel of
his father's high-powered Mercedes
car. The boy was said to be comfortable
behind the wheel His parents say he was probably
heading for Poland - he was said to be
missing his sister who lives there and
to have been in touch with her via the
internet, according to Italian media. The car was eventually tracked and
stopped near Moisburg, in northern
Germany. Police said it was "incredible" that the
boy-driver had managed to cross two
international borders and filled up
with petrol twice without anyone en
route raising the alarm. The teenager's parents are
understood to have gone to Germany
to bring him home. A 13-year-old runaway boy who

PoliticsPatience Jonathan Hurriedly Flown To Germany by Dotman01(op): 7:52pm On Jan 14, 2013
Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has been flown out to Germany on another emergency.

This development comes less than 24 hours after SaharaReporters revealed that she was billed to depart for Spain to attend to her health.

Medical sources in Abuja said Mrs. Jonathan had to be flown out earlier than expected due to new health concerns that developed overnight. The urgent nature of her departure for Germany led to cancellation of her appearance at a presidential event scheduled for 6:00 PM where the president hosted foreign ambassadors to Nigeria.

There is no official word from the presidency regarding her trip. Her principal media aide Ayo Osinlu told SaharaReporters by phone that he couldn’t tell of her movements because he was not in Abuja at the moment.

In August 2012, Mrs. Jonathan was airlifted to Wiesbaden, Germany, where she spent several weeks in a hospital for an undisclosed ailment.

The presidency did not confirm her condition or whereabouts throughout the period. She returned to Nigeria on October 14 and denied having been hospitalized in Germany or having any terminal condition.

“I don’t even know that hospital they are talking about,” she said. “I do not have any terminal illness or cosmetic surgery.”

south-west of Recife in Alagoas state. The confiscated items included drill
bits, files, a mobile phone and charger,
plus earphones The cat was taken to a

by local paper Estado de S. Paulo as
saying: "It's tough to find out who's
responsible for the action as the cat
doesn't speak." Officials said the items could be used to
effect a means of escape or for
communicating with criminals on the
outside. The incident took place at New Year,

“There was never a time like that
(5,000MW generation capacity), never.
The highest peak generation of
4,517.6 MW was achieved on
December 23, 2012,” Mr. Ifabiyi said.

“Now, we are generating more than 5,000MW,” another false statement by President Jonathan?
PoliticsPresident Jonathan Lies Again, TCN Faults Power Generation Claims by Dotman01(op):
President Jonathan lies again, TCN
faults power generation claims Bassey Udo - 22 hours ago INVESTIGATION/SPECIAL REPORTS,
NEWS “Now, we are generating more than 5,000MW,” another false statement by President Jonathan? The Transmission Company of Nigeria,
TCN, has said that at no time has the
country’s electricity generation
capacity reached a peak of 5,000
megawatts, MW. This contradicts President Goodluck
Jonathan’s claim during his third
Presidential media chat last November
that the combined average power
generation capacity from all the power
plants in the country moved from less than 3,000 MW in 2007 to a new peak
capacity above 5,000 MW. The President had listed the 5,000MW
power generation capacity as one of
his administration’s major
achievements under the Power Sector
Reform agenda. “Power is one area Nigerians
appreciate we are moving. We are yet
to get 24 hours of light in our cities,
but you would agree with me the
difference is clear,” the president told
the panel of interviewers, which consisted of Muhammed Abubakar of
Nigerian Television Authority, NTA;
Martins Oloja of the Guardian; Ikedi
Isighuzor of Vanguard and Gbemi
Olujobi of the National Mirror. “We moved, in 2007, from about a
little below 3,000 MW production
average. “Now, we are generating more than
5,000MW (of electricity). “But because of weak transmission
infrastructure, we cannot evacuate,”
the president said. As at the time President made the
claim, TCN, the Power Holding
Company of Nigeria, PHCN, successor company in charge of monitoring
electricity transmission data in the
country, had given 4,321.3MW as the
country’s power generation capacity
as at August, 31, 2012. President’s Spokesman, Reuben Abati,
and the Special Adviser to the Minister
of Power, Garubadeen Mohammed,
did not respond to calls and mails sent
to them seeking clarification on the
source of the President’s controversial figure. But, the Assistant General Manager,
Public Affairs of TCN, Dave Ifabiyi, said
on Wednesday during a telephone
chat from Abuja that at no time had
the country’s power generation
capacity neared 5,000 MW. “There was never a time like that
(5,000MW generation capacity), never.
The highest peak generation of
4,517.6 MW was achieved on
December 23, 2012,” Mr. Ifabiyi said. Click the orange button bellow to
listen to Mr Ifabiyi. The TCN spokesman, said in a
previous statement, that a new peak
power generation capacity of 4,502.2
MW was achieved on December 21,
2012, an improvement on the 4,454.1
MW achieved on December 19. He attributed the achievement to the
commitment of the President to fulfill
his promise to Nigerians on improved
electricity supply. Mr. Ifabiyi dispelled any insinuation
that the TCN was probably not
evacuating all the generated electricity
when he said that transmission and
distribution companies would
continue to harness “every available generation to ensure delivery of stable
electricity supply” even as more
National Integrated Power Projects,
NIPPs became functional. This is not the first time President
Jonathan would be making a public
statement that turned out to be false. In his Independence Day broadcast to
Nigerians on October 1, the president
had claimed that “In its latest report, Transparency International (TI) noted that Nigeria is the second most
improved country in the effort to curb
corruption.” The claim turned out to be false. Following a PREMIUM TIMES enquiry,
Transparency International stated that it “does not have a recent rating or
report that places Nigeria as the
second most improved country in the
fight against corruption. The latest Transparency International Corruption Index report later released
placed Nigeria as the 35th most
corrupt country in the world. The president is yet to apologise to
Nigerians for that goof, just as he may
not apologise for this. TCN to improve operations The TCN Chief Executive Officer,
Olusola Akinniranye, said the
company would not relent in its efforts
to ensure that the transmission grid
functions effectively for greater
efficiency. Mr. Akinniranye said part of that effort
is to restore the Benin-Egbin 330kV
line as well as complete the new
transmission/distribution interface
projects to further enhance the
company’s power evacuation capacity. He appealed to electricity consumers
to continue to partner with TCN in
protecting electricity installations and
forestall vandalism, which he said was
constituting a major setback to efforts
to improve electricity supplies.

CelebritiesNigeria’s Most Searched Musiccelebrities Of 2012–google by Dotman01(op): 11:08am On Jan 03, 2013
It’ s an incredible list holding
equally incredibly powerful music
celebrities who have steadfastly
remained at the peak of their
careers, ending the year 2012
with a deafening roar! *Flavour According to Google’s annual
Zeitgeist list, the top ten most
searched music celebrities for the
year ending 2012 are: 10. Asa
9. Flavour
8, Tuface
7. Tiwa Savage
6. Ice Prince
5. Timaya 4. P Square
3. D’banj
2. MI and
1. Davido. Three out of the list (Asa, P Square
and D’banj) had kept their acts
well alive on local and
international stages, while the
others had concentrated more on
holding their fans hostage back here in the country. Tiwa Savage had re-branded
herself and her music; moving
from Flytime to being a Mavin and
then Timaya who had jumped in
just in time with his controversial
music video “Bum bum” Interestingly or rather
surprisingly, wonder star Wiz Kid
didn’t make the list, neither did
Marvin Crew boss Don Jazzy. Both
of whom had endless issues tied
to them the entire year especially Don Jazzy who severed business
and perhaps friendship ties with
D’banj before going on to float his
own music label Mavin Crew. Did your favourite artiste make
the list? hit us with your

In fact that would facilitate quick and even development if d projects are distributed across various parts of the state like Oyo. Ogbomosho, Iseyin, Ipapo, Saki etc. because these cities are not enjoying d dividend of democrary for which they assiduously and doggedsly worked for right now which I think they deserve to enjoy. Ajimobi should look into those cities and develop them too and stop being a bigotry who only cares for his own native town. Mind you some of these cities votes for Ajimobi are more than that of Ibadan in d last general election. Thank you!

OYO TO DUALIZE 5 ROADS WITH
N29.3B
The Oyo State Government has
awarded the contract for the
dualization of five major roads that
cut across the state, at the total cost of N29.3 billion.
The construction of the roads was
announced at a joint news
conference at the end of the
weekly executive council meeting
in Ibadan on Monday. The news conference was jointly
addressed by the state
Commissioner for Information, Mr.
Bosun Oladele, his Works and
Transport counterpart, Alhaji Yunus
Akintunde, as well as Special Advisers on Media and Information
and Orientation, Dr. Festus Adedayo
and Gbolagade Busari respectively.
According to the state government,
the roads include the four-
kilometre Ibadan-Oyo Expressway/Iseyin-Oyo Junction to
Owode, as well as the expansion of
the 2.5 kilometre Owode-Akesan-
Palace Road and the sectional
repair of a 3.8-kilometre portion of
the old Ibadan-Oyo Road at the cost of N7,785,840,123.47.
Another project, the government
said, included the dualization of the
6.32-kilometre Ilorin Expressway
Junction-Ikoyi-Takie-Palace-
Ogbomoso Grammar School in Ogbomoso at the cost of
N5,695,147,363.60.
The contract for the dualization of
the 6.2-kilometre Ibadan-Oyo-
Iseyin Junction-Iseyin/Okeho
Junction Road in Iseyin was also awarded by the state government
at the cost of N6,092,448,322.40 to
take care of the major entry to Oke-
Ogun zone of the state.
The dualization of the 7.4-kilometre
Dugbe-Magazine-Eleiyele Road with spurs to Aleshinloye-Onireke/
Agbarigo Road in Ibadan was also
awarded by the state government
at the cost of N7,066,762,166.86.

its executive council had approved the construction of the dilapidated
Ijokodo-Apete Road, with its
associated two bridges, including
the Apete bridge whose contract
was revoked earlier, at the cost of
N2,649,420,593. The state Information
Commissioner said that the
projects, all of which would be
completed within the next 18
months, were in fulfillment of the
Ajimobi administration’s promise that entrances to major towns and
cities would be dualized to enhance
access.
The Commissioner for Works also
explained that the contract sums
for all the affected roads were inclusive of cost of compensation to
those whose properties would be
affected, relocation of facilities such
as water pipes, electricity poles and
telecommunication facilities, as well
as cost of consultancy.
PoliticsFrench Police Detain Nigerian Private Jet Carrying Jonathan's Front Man by Dotman01(op): 2:46pm On Nov 14, 2012
SaharaReporters has learnt that French
law enforcement officers detained a
private jet conveying a Nigerian
businessman, Jide Omokore, in Paris.
Mr. Omokore is one of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s closest business associates. The Abuja-bound plane had arrived in
Paris from Monaco. A French police
source who spoke to our
correspondent on condition of
anonymity disclosed that the plane
was detained for two days. The source did not disclose the make
and model of the jet nor the exact date
the aircraft was detained, but
disclosed that the private jet was
detained as part of an investigation
into its ownership. Even though the source refused to reveal more, stating
that further disclosure could
compromise their investigation, a
source in Abuja told SaharaReporters
that French authorities seemed
interested in finding out if the jet belonged to a Nigerian official. The
Abuja source stated that Petroleum
Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke may
be the focus of the French
investigation. SaharaReporters was told that the
detained jet was flying Mr. Omokore
and two women when it was
impounded for two days. The jet was
later released and was then flown
back to Nigeria with Mr. Omokore on board. The name of the Kogi-born Jide
Omokore has featured prominently in
the recent fuel subsidy scandal that
rocked the Nigerian economy. In
Abuja circles, he is well known as a
front man for President Jonathan and Petroleum Minister Alison-Madueke. Comments 0 comment(s) Post a comment Post A Comment Your name: * E-mail: * The content of this field is kept private

CrimeGullible Much! Woman Buys A $200 Ipad That Turns Out To Bemirror by Dotman01(op): 11:10pm On Nov 12, 2012
An Arlington woman says that a new
iPad she thought she had bought at a
great price turned out to be a fake. Jalonta Freeman said she bought the
item from a stranger who
approached her at a gas station near
Highway 360 and Green Oaks. "He pulled up beside us, and he was
like, 'Hey, I've got some iPads and
stuff, and I've got some laptops if you
all are interested in buying,'" she said
Wednesday. He offered to sell a brand-new iPad
worth $800 for just $200, Freeman
said. With Christmas coming up, she and
her family thought it sounded too
good to pass up. They gave him the
cash, and he quickly drove off, she
said. New iPads begin at $399 for Wi-Fi-
only models. The iPad 2 that connects
to cellular networks retails for $529. The recently announced iPads with
retina display start at $499 for the Wi-
Fi models. The cellular models range
in price from $629 to $829 and will
be available to ship in mid-November. When Freeman's sister opened the
package, it turned out to be a mirror
about the size as the tablet. "If you turn it on the back, it actually
looks like an Apple iPad," Freeman
said. "And when you turn it to the
front, it has the prices and stuff." It even had an Apple logo stuck on it. "That's so messed up," Freeman said.
"That's so wrong. I would never do
anybody like that. Get a job." Freeman said she became angry
when she realized she had been
conned. "I just started cussing," she said. "I
was upset. Anybody would be upset
if you found out you just got
scammed, you know what I'm
saying? You just lost $200." Freeman reported the crime to
Arlington police, but she never got a
license plate number and she admits
that investigators have little to go on. She said she now feels stupid but has
learned an important lesson. "Don't buy nothing on the streets
from nobody," she said. Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara
Richard said she had not heard of any
similar incidents but added these
kinds of crimes always increase in the
weeks before Christmas. Last year, Grand Prairie police warned
North Texas about groups of people who were selling fake iPads and
MacBooks out of their cars for several hundred dollars. Police then said that
investigators knew of more than a dozen incidents. Police in other states, including
Georgia, Florida and Mississippi, reported similar incidents last year.
