Politics / Chief Of Army Staff Escapes Assassination Attempt In Kaduna by fedrick901(m): 7:13pm On Dec 12, 2015

seven people died in Zaria, Kaduna state, following a clash between soldiers and members of a Shiite Muslim sect.

Vanguard reports that the clash was between soldiers attached to the convoy of Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the chief of army staff, and some members of the Shiite sect who allegedly attacked his convoy in Zaria, Kaduna state.

According to Premium Times, soldiers opened fire on members of the Shiite Muslim sect in their Husainiyya base in Zaria.

Speaking with journalists, a resident of the area, who claimed to have witnessed the incident, said that a truckload of soldiers came to the Husainiya area and surrounded it.

“All of a sudden we heard gun shots and many people died.”

“The soldiers are still there and they have evacuated some of the corpses while others were taken by the site members,” the witness said.

14. In early 2015, while serving as national security advisor, Dasuki informed the Independent National Electoral Commission “that operations against Boko Haram militants meant the military “will be unable to provide adequate security” for the upcoming 2015 Nigerian general election. The elections, scheduled for 15 February 2015, were postponed until March 28

14. Also in April 2015, he insisted that the Nigerian military would ensure that Sambisa Forest, the last fortress of Boko Haram, would be liberated before the May 29 inauguration of President Buhari’s new government.

16. On December 1, 2015, Dasuki was arrested by Nigeria’s State Security Service (SSS) for allegedly stealing $2bn and accused of awarding phantom contracts to buy 12 helicopters, four fighter jets, and ammunition meant for the Nigeria’s military campaign against Boko Haram Islamist militants

Some guys don’t know all the right things to say, but even if they don’t, they might know a few right things to say, and sometimes, more often than not, that’s also enough.

I happen to be a sucker for great quotes, and I tend to fall in love with a song not because of the melody, but because of the lyrics. There is nothing more romantic than hearing someone tell you something that only sounds like it was taken right out of a movie.

Just like in matters of love and relationships, if you know there are some things that always work like a charm, why wouldn’t you use them on your guy or gal? With that said, romantic movie quotes are things we know would often work. We know they work because those same lines managed to pull on our heartstrings when we watched them.

If anyone were to say these great lines to me, I would absolutely melt inside. What girl wouldn’t want a handsome guy she likes telling her all the things she has only actually heard and known to be true in movies, but dreamed about happening in real life?

There is a reason some girls tell guys they know all the right things to say. My guess is they have probably taken some notes from watching romantic movies or reading a great love story. As cheesy as you might think it seems, it works, and it works really, really well.

So the next time you desperately want to say something romantic to make your girl or guy swoon, but you find yourself getting tongue tied, just remember some of these incredible movie quotes and use them.

Ladies, we’re given nature’s natural gifts as our assets when finding a suitable mate. But how do we use it to our advantage without looking skanky?

Breasts are beautiful. Big or small, they are one of the best things we can be proud of as women. They’re part of our bodies, as much as everything else is. We don’t need to change them, augment them, reduce them – but we respect the decisions of those who do.

Advantages of having breasts

The good thing about having breasts is having the power to use them at your disposal. You can use them to nurture your young. You can use them to maximize your pleasure while having sex. You can even use them as pillows for your loved ones. But the best use for your boobs is their power to mesmerize the opposite sex.

Men admit to being slaves to boobs. A man can pay close attention to them as much as any part of the body, but breasts are way out there. If they know that you’re a girl, they know you have boobs. For that very reason, you can use your twins to make guys do almost anything that you want.

Disadvantages of having breasts

As much as we’d like to think that we’ve had 100% progress in the realm of sexism, having breasts can put you at a disadvantage. As of now, a huge percentage of men are being paid more than women. Misogynists still exist. There are still numerous sexual predators and abusers roaming the globe, and having breasts makes you a prime target for most of them.

Aside from that, society still has a tendency to denounce women who flaunt their sexuality using their body parts, i.e. legs, stomachs, butts and boobs. No matter how appreciative people are of your boobs, there will be times when having too much, or in this case, showing too much, of a good thing can be bad for you.

How to get your boobs noticed the classy way

So, how can you present your ladies in the best light possible, without getting the wrong type of attention? When can you show off of your boobs without seeming trashy?

#1 Form-fitting dresses. I would say that this is your best option. A woman can emphasize the naked form without having to show any skin at all. You just need to wear a nice dress that hugs your body in all the right places.

Shelling out a little more cash can get you a nice outfit that is engineered to hide unsightly bulges, while still making your butt and boobs look awesome. The key is to cover as much skin as possible, but still make it seem like others can have a glimpse of your figure.

#2 Tight top, loose bottoms. You can’t always wear a dress, so your best bet is to wear a tight shirt or top without showing any cleavage. Make sure that your pants or skirt are loose so all the attention will go to your upper body. An example of a good pair consists of a form-fitting blouse and a free-flowing skirt. You can also opt for loose-fitting jeans like the trendy “boyfriend jeans.”

#2 Good posture. Having good posture is like carrying your own trophy case. You can show off the best parts of your body when you have good posture like your legs, your neck, your butt and your boobs. The best part is that your boobs are the first thing people will notice as you walk up to them.

#3 Underwire, underwire, underwire! I would say that this is the best innovation that has been given to women. No matter how small your boobs are, underwires can make them look like golden globes of glory! They are specifically designed to hug the underside of your breasts for maximum lift and comfort.

Not only do they help prevent your boobs from sagging, they also make your breasts look beautiful and even. Men aren’t just concerned about size, you know. They also appreciate aesthetics.

#4 Plunging neckline while the rest is covered. This is a trick that most classy celebrities use. If you want to really make your breasts pop, make sure that they get a reasonable amount of exposure. If you want to keep it classy, wear an ankle-length free-flowing dress with sleeves.

The dress has to be adventurous enough to show a significant amount of cleavage, but should not allow any other parts of your body to overshadow your breasts.

#5 Sexy tops with cover-ups. If you want to get your breasts noticed using sexy tops, while still maintaining poise and decorum, pair it with a blazer, jacket, cardigan or anything that works with your outfit. This way, you can still show off your boobs without looking trashy.

#6 Highlight your cleavage. You don’t even have to show too much cleavage at this point. An inch is enough because what you’re aiming for is a subtle way to catch people’s attention. Use highlighting powder on the ample parts of your cleavage. When the light hits them, everyone within your immediate vicinity will have to stop and look.



ALSO READ [ 30 Cute things to Say to Your Girlfriend to make her smile]

#7 Put your hair up. In order for you to draw attention to your assets, you need to take away anything that hinders the view. I’m not saying that you should take your clothes off. Just brush your hair aside or put it up in a ponytail or bun. That way, people will notice your neck and your torso.

#8 Wear an elaborate neckpiece. Another trick to covertly bring attention to your boobs is to place something that will draw attention to the area surrounding it. Find an eye-catching pendant or necklace to go with your outfit, and make sure that it hangs low between your breasts. Make sure that your outfit is low key so as to not make your neckpiece the highlight.

#9 Use body language. A neck rub here, a clavicle scratch there – use your body movements to draw attention to your chest without having to wear skimpy outfits. The movements that are drawing attention to your chest will make any person you’re talking to follow the course of the action and notice what’s right in front of them.

Ladies, it’s okay to use your breasts to get attention, but please be wary of why you are doing it in the first place. If you’re doing it because you know your girls are awesome and they deserve to be the stars of the show, then go ahead and flaunt them.

If however, you’re doing this just so you can validate yourself in front of men and other women, you need to check your priorities. Using it to manipulate men is also a no-no because that can end badly, if you manage to give them the wrong idea

It’s good that you’re learning to appreciate your body and want to make the best of it, but make sure that you are doing it for yourself. You’re not making yourself happy, if you’re doing it for other people. You might even end up regretting your decision, once you realize that their entertainment happened at the cost of your own insecurity.

ALSO READ: How to keep your womanliness clean and smelling fresh

Just love yourself and your body, and stop caring about how people perceive you. Trashy or not, having control over your own body will give you the best feeling ever.

It doesn’t matter what size or shape your boobs are. Flaunt what your mama gave you by trying out these tips for drawing more attention to your lovely lady lumps

Politics / Ben Carson Announce 2016 Presidency Run by fedrick901(m): 4:45pm On May 04, 2015
Former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson formally launched his presidential campaign on Monday, declaring "it's time we take our country back."

"I'm Ben Carson and I'm a candidate for president of the United States," he said.

Carson, whose 29 years as a pediatric neurosurgeon earned him national acclaim, announced his presidential bid in his hometown of Detroit where he was raised in poverty by a single mother.

The 63-year-old gained notoriety among tea party conservatives in 2013 when he lambasted President Barack Obama's healthcare law at the National Prayer Breakfast while the president was just a few feet away.

Carson becomes the first African-American to join an already diverse GOP presidential field. Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are vying to become the country's first Hispanic president, while former Hewlett-Packard CEO declared Monday that she is running to become the first female president.

A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that 41 percent of GOP primary voters said they could see themselves supporting Carson, while 18 percent said they do not imagine supporting him.

Politics / Nigerian Navy: The Country Loses N433 Billion To Crude Oil Theft Annually by fedrick901(m): 2:34pm On Mar 04, 2015

The Nigerian Navy has revealed that the country loses an estimated N433 billion annually to crude oil theft due to poor law enforcement presence in the waterways.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin, made the disclosure in Abuja, when he defended its 2015 budget proposal before the Senate Committee on Navy.

Jibrin, represented by the Chief of Logistics, Peter Agba, credited the statistics to a recent revelation made by Chatham House, London.

He said the statistics did not include the amount of oil suspected to have been stolen from export pipelines, cost of oil spillage cleanup, loss of income to fishing communities and environmental degradation.

“The Nigerian Navy is constitutionally tasked with the protection of our maritime assets and recently the Chatham House revealed that Nigerian crude oil is being stolen at an industrial scale.

It conservatively estimates that about 100,000 barrel per day, valued at N1.18 billion is stolen daily due to poor law enforcement presence, which is translated to N433.62 billion annually,’’ he said.

Jubrin attributed the inability of the Navy to curb criminality in the nation’s waters to lack of adequate funding, and called for better funding of the service.

He said going by the 2015 overhead cost proposal of seven billion Naira, the service would find it difficult to maintain sufficient presence on the nation’s waters.

He said the Navy required N205 billion as capital budget for 2015 but based on the envelope system, it submitted only a capital budget of eight billion naira.

Jubrin said that this represented 96 percent reduction.

“The Nigerian Navy appreciates the financial constraints of the Federal Government but wishes to point out the importance and economic benefits of an improved funding.

The Nigerian Navy, therefore, in the nearest future will be craving the indulgence of the National Assembly to make its capital asset acquisition a first line charge to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

We are also making a case for the establishment of a Naval Trust Fund to enhance our operations,’’ he said.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Chris Anyanwu (PDP-Imo East), expressed concern over the statistics issued by Chatham House on the rate of annual crude oil theft in Nigeria.

Anyanwu stressed the need for better funding for the Navy to enable it curb the increased level of crude oil theft.

“What country can lose this kind of asset and still stay whole? That explains what is really happening in the country today.

In view of the huge loss of crude oil, I agree with the Navy in the argument that expenditure in the Navy should be seen as an economic expenditure,’’ he said.

She further commended the effort of the Navy in living up to its mandate in spite of poor funding.

“I see the statistics of what you have been doing in terms of seizures. You seized 84 vessels and 155 oil thieves were arrested.

That is something significant and I want to applaud the current leadership for his effort,’’ she said.

She said that there was need for the next National Assembly to establish a Trust Fund for the Navy to enable it discharge its duties effectively.

Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has reacted to the false accusations and character assassination by the Peoples Democratic Party. In a new statement posted on the official facebook page of General Buhari, The retired General blasted the PDP and Goodluck Jonathan for taking irrelevant swipes at him. Here is the full post from the general.

Good afternoon, my friends. As we continue our relentless pace campaigning for ‪#‎Change‬ this week, let’s reflect on the past few weeks -GMB

I have become seriously disturbed by the volume of falsehood and desperation from the opposition campaign of the PDP.

I clearly underrated the panic and lack of integrity that leads people to tell barefaced lies, and must confess, it continues to confound me.

I have run for office before, but I have consistently done so without desperation or anger, because elections are not war.

Why should candidates tell so many frantic lies in order to win elections, if truly their purpose is to ‘transform’ the lives of our people?

It is a tragedy to see the ruling party focus on pettiness and lies; rumours of cancer, foreign treatment, and certificates they know exist.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Nigerians died in ‪#‎Baga‬ days ago. Our unemployment numbers are rising.

The businesses of our enterprising youth are being killed by lack of access to finance and poor economic policies.

This campaign should be about those issues. It should be about today and the future; about securing Nigerian lives and Nigerian land.

The desperation is beyond my understanding. ‪#‎ThingsMustChange‬

What is this obsession with lies? What is this obsession with pettiness? What is this obsession with threats and attacks?

All of us, citizens and voters need to ask ourselves – why is our President so desperate?

How can the President of this country be talking about remembering phone numbers and coup speeches?

How can his campaign be talking about dead ex-leaders, jogging around the stadium and outright lies about my health?

How can a President who has led this country for six years be unable to run on his own record and his achievements?

Where is his fabled calm, where is his reserve, where is his composure? Why is he so ruffled? Why is he so frustrated and afraid?

We should be deeply worried that a President who called for calm during governorship elections has now lost his cool in his own elections.

Our President and his allies must remember that he is not only a candidate for office; he is the President of Nigeria.

We do not have a disinformation or propaganda wing in our campaign. We have no need to waste time in driving petty attacks.

We have not spoken about the President’s family, his health, his religion, his ethnic group, or his phone number.

We are concerned only about his record – has he secured Nigeria? Has he fought corruption? Has he truly grown the economy so it can work?

Do our children find it easy to get jobs? Do our sisters and brothers find it easy to set up and sustain their businesses?

Can our president keep us safe when we travel to any part of this country? Is your life better today than it was six years ago?

We have only presented our record – how we fought insurgencies, how we stabilized the Naira, how we tackled corruption.

We have presented our vision and plans – through our manifesto (available on http://www.thisisbuhari.com ) and our town hall meetings.

We are lucky to have in this election two people who have led this country. I am proud to present our record of solutions and effectiveness.

Imagine the accelerated growth we can now achieve in a democracy –which the world has seen to be the most effective way of governing nations.

Let us focus on those issues, please. Elections are not war. February 14 is not about politicians. It is about our country.

I am appealing to you: the damage to this country is great. The level of unemployment and insecurity is intolerable, worsened by corruption.

Therefore, I shall refuse to indulge the smear campaign. I refuse to allow them take away the focus from the issues that concern you.

We insist on a campaign of hope, change and the future. This election is about big, important issues. We refuse to play it small.

Join us as we continue the relentless pace of our rallies in Minna and Kaduna today. #Change is finally here, my friends.
