Politics / 3 Reasons Why Fuel Scarcity Will Continue In Nigeria by dpedro1: 1:45pm On May 12, 2015


The issue of fuel scarcity in the country has been worsened by a growing uncertainty which is connected to the payment of oil subsidies to marketers.
According to an industry source who spoke to The Cable, these are three reasons why you will keep queuing for fuel:

Banks have become hesitant to finance imports of petrol and kerosene and have now tagged the transactions as a “political risk”.
Recent payments to marketers were sourced from a loan taken by the federal government, a development that effectively shook the confidence of the financial system on the immediate future of subsidy in the country.
Most oil marketers have decided against importing fuel until the incoming government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari settles in and defines its direction on the deregulation of the downstream sector.

Politics / Photos Of The Fattest Python You Will Ever See! As Big As A Tree Trunk by dpedro1: 3:07pm On May 09, 2015

Wildlife experts were shocked to discover the 'fattest snake you will ever see' in tropical Queensland.

According to DailyMail, the scrub python, found near Kuranda in far north Queensland, is more than five metres long and weighs in excess of 50kgs. Two workers at the Rainforestation Nature Park discovered the snake in the middle of the road, after first thinking it was a tree branch. It has now been nicknamed 'Scrubby'.

General manager of Rainforestation Nature Park Chris Grantham told the ABC:
'Because it was quite cool it was quite docile. So they grabbed it and put it in the back of the ute so it didn't get run over. We have heaps of scrub pythons up here - they're very common in this part. But nothing that size, that was just incredible. You find them two to three metres long ... sometime a bit bigger. But never one that fat.

Gaming / How To Apply Game Cheats On Android Phones Using Game Keyboard by dpedro1: 3:01pm On May 08, 2015

Sometimes, playing a certain game can be boring when you get stock during gameplay. You have to keep repeating a certain level over and over again due to the difficulty level.. It really pisses me off. But game cheats made it easy as GTA III celebrated their 10 years anniversary with some cool cheats to make things easy. The said news is since android phones don't have keyboard unlike PC, it really makes using cheats on android phones almost impossible. But the good news is, 'it is possible' with the help of an app called game keyboard.
You have to set up the keyboard and assign a dedicated button (e.g lower volume key) to call it up during gameplay. You also have to make it your default keyboard. Then whenever you press the dedicated key, the gamekeyboard will pop up. Then you can type the cheats.
Every cheat requires a device that supports a keyboard (real keyboard with a tablet or virtual keyboard on a phone). On some android devices you can hold Menu for a virtual keyboard to appear. Then, enter one of the following codes during game play or while paused to activate the corresponding cheat function. Note: To use the game keyboard on some devices,
enter the "Settings" menu, then scroll down and change your hot key so that when you slide your finger on the screen, it switches from the game pad to the game keyboard.

Politics / List Of Influential Women To Watch In Buhari’s Govt (photos) by dpedro1: 1:43pm On May 02, 2015
The administration of Nigeria's president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari will be featuring many elegant women. Let's take a look at some of them.



Hajiya Aisha Buhari, wife of Muhammadu Buhari, will become the country’s new First Lady on May 29 after her husband’s inauguration.

The Adamawa State-born cosmetologist attended the famous Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Administration.


Though, some people have described the member of the United Kingdom Vocational Training and Charitable Trust and the International Health and Beauty Council as an introvert, she is said to be a consummate politician and strong believer in the project Nigeria. The alumnus of the famous Carlton Institute of London and the Academy Esthetique Beauty Institute of France did tell everyone during the pre-election campaigns that her husband, if elected, would give women opportunities to contribute to the development of the country.

Dolapo Osinbajo


Dolapo Osinbajo is the wife of Buhari's vice, Prof. Osinbajo, and the grand-child of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Dolapo is the leader of the Ladies Fellowship of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus House Paris, Banana Island, Lagos.

She has testimonies as a humble and submissive wife by those who are close to her family, she supported her husband in 2007 to establish ‘The Orderly Society Trust’, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the promotion of Christian ethics and orderliness.


While others sought political offices to touch the people’s lives, Mrs. Osinbajo yearned for a different avenue to reach the larger society, especially the poor. She invariably wrote a book, They Call Me Mama.

She said the drive to write the book came from her experiences with some “street boys and men in Lagos State.” According to her, she aims to use the proceeds from the book to sustain her efforts in getting the street urchins off the roads and into homes.

Remi Tinubu

She is the senator representing Lagos Central. Remi is an educationist, administrator, philanthropist and Officer of the Order of the Niger. She was described as exemplary First Lady of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007, during which period she founded the New Era Foundation, a non-profit organisation, dedicated to youth development, girl-child education, women empowerment and inspiring youths to excellence.

Entertainment / Photos - Meet The New Fattest Man In Britain, Carl Thompson by dpedro1: 12:36pm On May 02, 2015
[img]http://3.bp..com/-8plOmqtnGjg/VUNHgN6aOeI/AAAAAAABpxc/ogTiwhIkgw8/s1600/1.jpg[/img]

He starts his day with a fry-up breakfast made up of four sausages, five fried eggs, a pan-full of mushrooms. Consumes vast quantities of ice cream, thinks nothing of devouring an entire loaf of bread smothered in a whole jar of jam at one sitting. He cannot walk, wash or dress himself.

Now 412kg, Carl Thompson has been awarded the dubious honour of Britain's fattest man. He took the title from postman Paul Mason, who dropped from around 444kg to 139kg after having a gastric band fitted.


According to UK media, the 32 year old man has not had a job since he was 17 when he worked in a food factory. At the time Mr Thompson said he ate everything the factory didn't sell. But after the
death of his mother in 2012 from a brain tumour, Mr Thompson turned to food as a means of coping with his grief.
'That’s how I put all this weight on. I was very close to my mum,' he said speaking of his mother.



'She was fantastic, and I still haven’t got over it.'
Having been admitted to hospital for heart attacks and septicemia in the last three years, Carl is facing death unless he drastically changes his diet. But unlike Paul Mason, previously Britain's heaviest man, Mr Thompson said he does not want to undergo gastric band surgery.



'I need to go somewhere to lose my weight naturally because I can’t do it on my own,' he said. 'I don’t want a gastric band, they’re dangerous. I’d like the help of a dietician and a psychiatrist to help shift the weight.”
He is confined to the ground floor flat where he lives alone in Dover, Kent, kept company by a team of NHS carers who come to bathe him and cook for him every day.

Celebrities / Psquare's Half Brother Denies Splitting From Twin Brother Paul Okoye by dpedro1: 3:13pm On Apr 28, 2015


Peter Okoye has denied reports that he and his brother had separated.
Two weeks ago, Paul Okoye made claims to fact that he wrote a number of Psquare's hits. A lot of people interpreted this to mean that Peter and Paul were splitting up.

In a recent interview with Vanguard, Peter stated that Psquare is still very much intact. “We just had minor quarrel just like everyone who has siblings would. We fight and we make-up; we fought many times last year but we still go on stage and perform and nobody knows" he said.
"I can’t come out and say Paul and I have never fought. I’s like a couple who has been married for over 20years would come out and say they have never fought” he further said.
Peter and Paul Okoye were on the verge of splitting last year before the release of their latest album Double Trouble.
Peter Okoye has announced the launch of his dance reality show with Kaffy.

Politics / ‘boko Haram Is A Fraud,’- Muhammadu Buhari by dpedro1: 3:04pm On Apr 28, 2015


Muhammadu Buhari has commented that terrorist sect, Boko Haram is a fraud.
Buhari stated further that the sect can be defeated by denying it its recruitment base.
The President-elect made the comments on Monday, April 27, 2015, at the Defence House in Abuja while receiving a delegation from Nasarawa State which was led by the state Governor, Tanko Al-Makura.
“The fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by denying it a recruitment base. No religion allows for the killing of children in school dormitory, in markets and places of worship. They have nothing to do with religion. They are terrorists and we are going to deal with them as they deal with terrorists anywhere,” Buhari said in a statement issued by his media aide, Garba Shehu.
“The worst thing anybody can do is to deny children access to education. That will be destructive to their lives and we are not going to allow that to happen,” he added.
Buhari had earlier said that Boko Haram would feel the strength on Nigeria’s ‘collective will’ once he is sworn into office.
He however urged Nigerians not to expect miracles from his administration.

A thirty-five-year-old Kaduna-born cyclist and supporter of the president-elect, Mohammed Kabiru Jafaru, yesterday embarked on a journey to meet with the vice president-elect in Lagos State.


Mohammed, a resident of Hayin Malam Bello in Rigasa district of Igabi local government area of Kaduna State, took off on his journey to Lagos at exactly 6: 35am at the palace of Sarkin Hayin Malam Bello, Alhaji Kabiru Isa Gangarida.

Speaking to newsmen before embarking on the journey, Mohammed said:


“I have decided to embark on this journey to Lagos because I want to go and thank Yoruba people for their immense support and contributions that led to the victory of General Muhammadu Buhari during the March 28 presidential election.

The decision to undertake the journey came to my mind after analysing the votes cast for Buhari by the Yoruba people and after I discussed my intention with my immediate family and friends, they encouraged me to go on the journey.”

Mohammed, a father of four who lives at Goro road in Hayin Malam Bello, further said:

“I have never been to Lagos before; this is my first time and only God knows how many days I will spend before reaching Lagos”.

Asked whether he has any fear about the journey, Mohammed said:

“I don’t have any fear because I believe in God that nothing will happen to me on the road; all I want is people’s prayers so that I will reach Lagos safely.”

Also speaking, an APC chieftain in the state, Hon. Kailani Mohammed, said Mohammed Kabiru will be received by the vice president-elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and other prominent members of the APC in Lagos on his arrival, and wished Mohammed a safe trip.

The lady who might be the love of Iyanya's life has been discovered. It is none other than gorgeous, curvaceous, Freda Francis.
According to her instagram bio she is an executive at the Global Orchard services, and Oasis med spa.
The lovebirds seem to want a low profile relationship for now because there are not recent pictures of them together on social media.
According to sources though, Iyanya is love-struck with the curvaceous beauty and very serious with this relationship.
Iyanya once dated the top Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson who was the inspiration behind his hit single Your Waist.
We hope this new love affair is successful considering the recent drama that trailed the Ubi Franklin and Emma Nyra of the made men music group.

Politics / President Goodluck Jonathan Prays For Buhari’s Incoming Government by dpedro1: 12:20pm On Apr 27, 2015


President Goodluck Jonathan has prayed for the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari and his incoming governent. He also urged Nigerian leaders to be ready to make sacrifices for the growth of the country.

The President made the comments on Saturday, April 25, 2015, while speaking at the fifth presidential prayer breakfast held inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“We continue to pray for the country and of course, we pray for the incoming government and also pray for us who are leaving to have the opportunity to serve humanity in different phases,” he said.
“I remember in 2009 when I visited the Nordic countries, they told me they were celebrating 200 years of peace that has enabled them to develop. Nigeria was 49 years as an independent nation in 2009. If the Nordic countries, well developed technologically and otherwise, it means crisis really retards development,” the president added.

The President also said that despite the many problems faced by Nigeria, the country would overcome.
“So we have challenges, today we are talking about Boko Haram in the north, kidnapping in South-South, South-East. At times you are forced to think that the nation is ending, definitely this country will overcome this challenge. That is the reason for these prayers. Just like prayers helped Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, our constant prayers will help us rebuild this nation,” Jonathan said.
“For me, I have to thank God and Nigerians for the privilege and opportunity given to me this past 16 years. I served my state as a deputy governor and governor for eight years. From government house in Yenagoa and then I came here to the state house, Abuja served the country as vice president and a president. That is a reasonable length of time and so I have to thank God, first because if God did not will it, it won’t have happened,” he added.

Politics / Olusegun Obasanjo - 'african Leaders Are Happy Jonathan Lost' by dpedro1: 12:23pm On Apr 25, 2015


Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said he visited six African leaders since the March 28 Presidential election and they are all happy that incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated at the poll.

He said some Nigerians likened Jonathan to a moving train that was going to crash Nigeria if not stopped.
Obasanjo said this to an audience at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington
“I have visited six countries since the election, they are as happy about the results. It is good not only for Nigeria, it is good for Africa and I believe it is good for the world,” he said.
Obasanjo advised African leaders against ‘do or die’ politics. He cited Togo, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon as examples of African countries with leaders refusing to give up power, fearing they might “land in prison or in the grave.”

Sports / Van Gaal: Ryan Giggs Will Be Manchester United Boss by dpedro1: 11:59am On Apr 25, 2015


Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes Ryan Giggs will be his successor.
Fourty-one year old Giggs, was in charge for four games last season after David Moyes's dismissal and was appointed assistant manager to Van Gaal in May 2014.

Van Gaal, 63, is coming to the end of his first season in charge and has a contract until 2017.
When asked about Giggs, he told MUTV: "I expect that he will be the next manager after I am gone."
He added: "Now I have the responsibility. He has tasks that he has to perform like the players [do]. What he has to do, for me, he does it very well."
Giggs said it was "the proudest moment" of his career to take charge of the club after Moyes's sacking last season.
The Welshman, who made a record 963 appearances for the club as a player, won two, drew one and lost one during his time in charge.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal says United have offered goalkeeper David De Gea "a lot of money" to keep him at Old Trafford.
De Gea's fine form this season has seen the 24-year-old linked with a move back to Spain, with reports European champions Real Madrid are lining up a move for the former Atletico Madrid player.
His contract at United expires at the end of next season.
"It takes a long time now," Van Gaal said when asked how negotiations with De Gea were progressing.
"It can always happen. I am not the boss. I want him to stay. The player is the boss - he can say 'yes' or 'no'.
"He has to sign. We have offered him a lot of money."
De Gea joined United from Atletico in June 2011

Celebrities / Hmmm..see What Rukky Sanda Said About Xenophotic Attacks Against Nigerians In SA by dpedro1: 5:54pm On Apr 24, 2015


Many Nigerians have been reacting to the xenophobic attacks against Nigerians and other black immigrants in South Africa. Actress Rukky Sanda has also shared her view on the issue. She took to her instagram page to slam a Nigerian Senator who called for the attack on South African companies like MTN & DSTV. She wrote;


Where do I begin? When I was goin to post about this about 4days ago, if I did I’m sure I’d have written a whole paragraph as I had too many words running thru my head from watching videos of attacks on innocent victims to arrogant silly South African man saying to the camera that Nigerians have to go cos they take their women & their jobs… #smh looking into his lazy eyes as he spoke was single handedly the most stupid thing I’d ever heard a full grown man say, but that aside I guess this images speak for themselves… I’d say this much tho’ as regards what I read and images being circulated on social media and few acts already being engaged by Nigerians on South African countries in Nigeria, and worst of all watching a Nigerian Senator on NTA lastNight encouraging Nigerians to attack companies like MTN & MultiChoice amongst others is totally despicable.
Firstly 98% of ppl working in these companies are Nigerians so how exactly will causing harm to our very own people or building the idea help end #xenophobia? Destroying properties of our very own with the hope that Companies will bare the loss? Cos I’m quite confused. It is a critical time, we are hurt, we are furious we want them to pay but Violence is not the Solution to Violence, cos as far as I’m concerned to “BeLittle”, is to “Be Little” and we will never be any better than the people committing this totally sinful and shameful act if we bring ourselves to lay In the mud with them. We have to be united to fight, we have to maintain positivity, we have to stay strong and most of all be united as #ONE… Let ur Voice be heard, Africa Is One, Put An End to XENOPHOBIC acts��. #stand4peace&unity…#violenceIsNotTheAnswer2violence. ������
