akpomeme:
See as una dey show una Mumu sense. The reporter is writing this article from Abuja. Just like how a cnn reporter based in Abuja will report on any even in Nigeria but end his/her story stating "reporting from Abuja".

jamace: OP, the insurgents were not killed in Abuja. They were killed in Borno state (North West). Amend the thread title accordingly.
Thanks..A silly mistake indeed

Politics / Boko Haram Insurgents Killed In Borno by Enigmaticicon(m): 6:56pm On Jan 09, 2014
Abuja - Nigeria's military on Thursday said they had killed as many as 38 Boko Haram fighters during counter-insurgency operations in the country's north-east.
Army spokesman Colonel Muhammad Dole said troops on patrol foiled a planned attack on local residents and a military camp in Damboa, Borno state, in the early hours, and inflicted “heavy casualties”.
“While the encounter lasted, 38 Boko Haram terrorists were killed and some fled with various degrees of injuries,” the officer said in an emailed statement, adding that three vehicles were destroyed.
One of the vehicles was found to have cylinders and improvised explosive devices. Weapons and ammunition, including machine guns, were also recovered, he said.
One soldier was killed and two others were injured in the encounter, he said.
“Combined ground troops and Nigerian Air Force aircraft are tactically pursuing the fleeing terrorists in the ongoing operation in the general area of Damboa and surrounding villages,” Dole added.
Damboa is nearly 90 kilometres south-west of the Borno state capital, Maiduguri.
Boko Haram, deemed a terrorist organisation by the United States, has been fighting a bloody insurgency in Nigeria's north since 2009, attacking schools which follow a “Western” curriculum and churches as well as military and police targets.
Nigeria's government in May last year imposed a state of emergency in Borno and two other neighbouring states, Yobe and Adamawa, in an attempt to stem the violence, which has claimed thousands of lives.
Parliament approved the extension of special measures late last year, although the focus of attacks and military operations has largely shifted to remote, rural areas of Borno near the border with Cameroon.

19.“How long have you lived here?” Like #18, this helps you figure out what you have in common and interesting differences between you.


20.“Can I have your number?” Best after you’ve tried some of #1 – 19, but definitely a way to take the conversation to the next level and see if the other person’s up for it, too!

Merci!!

15.“Need another?” Whether it’s the local coffee shop or the neighborhood bar, if you see someone interesting and notice he or she’s running low, a “refill” can be the perfect way to strike up a chat.

16.Ask if she comes there often. You can do it without sounding cheesy! If that pretty girl you’re eyeing seems to know everyone around, ask her why it’s her favorite Mexican place or sandwich shop.

17.Get to know the bartenders. If you make friends in places you like, it’s a great way to help you start conversations! They’re probably happy to help you meet someone new.

18.“Did you grow up here?” Many of us live far from our hometowns. Others among us are locals! You never know until you ask, and if that cute girl or guy is interested in you, too, you can learn a lot with this question.

10.Ask her opinion, if you’re a guy. Maybe you’re at a park and want a good lunch spot after you’re done hanging out, or maybe you’re at a bar with friends and want a great place for dancing later that night. If you see someone you want to talk to, this is a great icebreaker.

11.Ask for help, if you’re a girl. Need directions? Need a suggestion on your dinner spot after you finish cocktails? Ask that cute guy what he likes in the neighborhood.

12.Be unexpected. Asking an off-the-wall question can work when done right! She’s reading “Rolling Stone” and you remember a great cover from two years ago? Ask if she read that particular issue! See where talk goes from there.

13.Draw someone in as a third-person “expert.” For example, you and a friend are debating whether tab collars or button-down are better for dress shirts, or whether Guinness in a bottle is as good as it is on draft. Ask that cute girl nearby to settle the dispute.

14.Recent movies, concerts and restaurants are great conversation-starters. Did you see Van Halen on their recent tour, or are you about to visit that new museum exhibit at a local gallery? Ask her if she’s interested in music/arts/etc., too, and then explore common interests

5.“Your dog is so cute! What kind is it?” Maybe you’ve seen her walking her puppy at the park and wanted to strike up a conversation. Most people with pets love to talk about their “best friends” and are open to this kind of approach.

6.“Is this seat taken?” If there’s an open seat next to that cute girl, ask if you can sit there! Next? Introduce yourself and see where things go.

7.“Great shoes!” Everyone loves to be complimented. Be sincere, pick out one specific thing you notice about him or her (her purse or shoes are unusual, he has a nice smile, you get the idea) and use it to start talking.

8.Send over a drink. This can work for both women and men, in the right setting. Want to break the ice but not sure how to do it? Buy her one and have the bartender deliver it, and let her know you were the giver! Then follow up by going over to introduce yourself.

9.Make a joke. Pop culture is full of references to use, and in the right setting any one might work. The bartender’s just broken three glasses in a row and you can mimic a perfect Homer Simpson “Duh!”? Good way to get a laugh and start talking

You know how it is. You see someone you want to talk to, or that someone sees you, and the conversation begins. It’s easy to remember times when it doesn’t work out – maybe he used a bad pick-up line or you stumbled over your words when you tried to start chatting – but what about when you hit it off with someone for real? The conversation was interesting and funny, and made you want to get to know the other person better. How can you make that happen every time you see someone you want to talk to? Read on for 20 good ways to start a conversation with someone you don’t know!

1.Introduce yourself. “Hi, I’m Rob”, is a great way to start. It’s real, it’s truthful and the polite response from her is to say “Hi, I’m Sarah.” Girls are wary of cheesy pick-up lines and no one wants to sound like they’re using one that’s been tried a thousand times before. Try an icebreaker that you’d do in “real” life and see where it takes you.

2.Ask what he’s having for dinner. Maybe you’re at a restaurant with a bar area that serves food, and you see a cute guy. An easy and not-too-risky way to start a conversation is to ask about that yummy-looking entrée he’s eating.

3.“How about those Yankees?!” Finding a common interest – or one relevant to your environment – is always a good option. If it’s a sports bar, or just somewhere that the TV is showing a game, if you’re a baseball fan (or, season-permitting, a football/hockey/basketball fan), seeing someone you want to talk to, who’s into the game too, is a perfect conversation starter.

4.Speaking of common interests, if you see someone who catches your eye, with a book or a stack of papers in front of him at dinner, it can be a great way to start talking. Mention that you’ve had a busy day too, or ask what he thinks about the book he’s reading

Celebrities / Comedian, Basketmouth, Issues 'apology' For Rape Joke by Enigmaticicon(m): 6:31pm On Jan 06, 2014
Following an outcry against a 'rape joke', he posted on his Facebook wall on Saturday, popular comedian, Basketmouth (Bright Okpocha), on Sunday apologised for any misunderstanding the joke may have caused.
The rape joke which was 'liked' by over five thousand people had compared dating white girls to dating African women and appeared to recommend rape for members of the latter group who failed to give into a man's lustful advances after nine dates, which include dinners and shopping sprees.

The joke was, however, not received well by several fans of the comedian across the continent.
A Zimbabwean blogger, Barbara Mhangami, in an open letter to the comedian on her blog ( http://onbarbsbookswriting. .com), pointed out that the fact the comedian made a funny joke about rape made him a huge problem that affects half of the world's population.
"Rape is not funny and if it elicits laughter, which it did in some of your fans,then this is a sign of depravity and a warning to all women that we are not safe among men, even the ones who purport to love us," Mhangami said.
However, other fans of the comedian, commenting on his Facebook page, deem the joke as harmless, attacking those who criticise it.
In his retraction, also posted on his Facebook wall, Basketmouth, pointing out that he had a daughter, a wife and a mother, insisted that he would never in a thousand lifetimes promote rape.
"I broadcasted a joke that many clearly misunderstood and have found offensive and I sincerely apologise. The intention however was to highlight an unfortunate trend and the ridiculously flawed comparison between money and the worth of a woman," the comedian explained.
Addressing his "apology" to all women, "the ones that make our lives colorful, the ones we owe our lives literally, our pride, our money choppers, the true stronger vessels," Basketmouth said, "this is me, Bright Onyekwere Okpocha saying, I no dey crase to promote rape? (sic)"
The joke has since been removed

Politics / OSHIOMOLE - I wasn't HOSPITALIZED.. by Enigmaticicon(m): 4:32pm On Jan 06, 2014
The governor was on his way to receive Nigeria’s vice president who visited Edo on a private visit.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Monday in Benin debunked rumours that he was being hospitalised after a traffic accident that occurred on December 28, 2013.
Mr. Oshiomhole was reacting to media reports which claimed that he was lying critically ill in hospital.
The governor, while addressing members of the State Executive Council, said he was not hospitalised after the accident involving his official vehicle and a J5 bus.
“The rumours of being hospitalised and under intensive care were the figment of the imagination of my detractors,” he said.
The governor said the accident occurred around 10.a.m. on December 28 close to Ewu Town.
He said he was on his way to Benin from his village, Iyamho, to receive Vice President Namadi Sambo, when the J5 bus conveying tomatoes, veered off the road and rammed into his official vehicle.
The governor said none of the occupants of the official vehicle, including himself, was injured.
He said that though the vice president was on a private visit, he was obliged, as the state chief executive, to receive him at the airport.
Mr. Oshiomhole thanked God for saving his life, saying in spite of the accident, he was still able to receive the vice president, who was in the state to felicitate with Tony Anenih on his birthday.
