Crime / Gunman Kills 11 & Injured 18 Worshippers In Anambra. Watch Video by HenryOmon(m): 4:41pm On Aug 06, 2017
The police in Anambra on Sunday confirmed that a gunman killed eleven worshippers and injured 18 others in an early morning attack on St. Philip Catholic Church, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Garba Umar, said in Awka that the remains of the dead had been deposited at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi.

Umar also said that the injured were taken to the hospital.

He said that preliminary investigations by the police revealed that the attack was carried out by a native of the area.

“From our findings, it is very clear that the person who carried the attack must be an indigene of the area.

“We gathered that worshippers for 6 o’clock Sunday mass at St. Philip Ozobulu were in the service when a gunman dressed in black attire covering his face with a cap entered the church and moved straight to a particular direction and opened fire.

“The man after shooting at his targeted victims still went on a shooting spree, killing and wounding other worshippers,’’ he said.

The commissioner said information available to police showed that the attacker was speaking undiluted Igbo Language at the time he was firing at worshippers.

Umar said though no arrest had been made, the police already learnt that the attack followed a quarrel between two natives of Ozubulu residing overseas.

Describing the act as sacrilegious, the commissioner of police said it was wrong for the perpetrators of the act to extend their quarrel into the church.

He added: “Such conduct shows the people behind the act do not fear God.’’

He said the police had launched a manhunt on those behind the act and gave an assurance that everybody behind the act would be brought to justice.

Umar described any insinuation that the attack was carried out by Boko Haram elements as false and urged the people to go about their normal businesses.

Education / See Ways To Win A Scholarship by HenryOmon(m): 11:46am On Aug 05, 2017
The students that win the most scholarships may not have more positive qualities than you, but they use the following strategy to get noticed by the scholarship committees:

Get Prepared:

Get letters of recommendation from teachers, guidance counselors or leaders in your community. Choose these wisely (make copies).

Get a copy of your high school or college transcript (make copies).

Get involved in your community or in school activities or in your church. If your time is limited due to personal circumstances, working to help with family expenses is also an advantage.

Start writing an essay about your goals and what you have done to date to achieve them. Think about what makes you unique.

Get a picture of yourself. A school picture is perfect. Anything smaller than a wallet size head shot will do.

Buy some clear plastic binders.

The goal here is to have numerous packages made up ahead of time, ready to submit to the various scholarship committees. The package will include:

* a clear plastic binder and within the package,
* the scholarship application (you will have to insert this later when you have received each individual application)
* followed by an essay that gets you noticed
* followed by your transcripts (some scholarships do not require this, but if it’s impressive, send it)
* followed by letters of recommendation and then
* place your picture in the front inside cover (on top of the application) in the lower left hand corner (this is not a requirement, but it helps to put a face to the person, for the scholarship committee reviewing your application.)

Celebrities / Aww!! See What Funke Akindele's Husband Says About Her by HenryOmon(m): 11:41am On Jul 29, 2017
Abdul Rasheed Bello popularly known as JJC Skillz and husband of award-winning actress Funke Akindele Bello disclosed how he met his wife in an interview with Nigerian Tribune
He also disclosed that his music is on hold as he is focusing on his movie directing career with two major productions Jenifa’s Diary and Industreet.
When asked if he had taken a break from music, he said: “Yes. My music is on hold, because I needed to focus on this great opportunity that came to my doorsteps. Jenifa’s Diary is a big project, you can see we have been winning awards here and there. We as a family, have our hands full already in different productions.”
He disclosed that he had certificates in TV and video production, and had worked in that industry for 2 years.
“I actually studied TV and Video Production in school. After my studies, I went on to take on MVQ course; which is like a work training course. I had 9 straight A’s during the course from script writing, directing, all. I did it so passionately, I came out with distinctions. Because of my grade, I was able to get a job with an amazing advertisement company. I was their assistant editor and worked there for 2 years. So, I had a background in entertainment, directing, editing, it’s what I studied and it’s now my profession. But I left all that for music,” JJC Skillz said.
What are the challenges of film production, directing?
It hasn’t been easy, but God has been there for us.All I can say is he who findeth a wife, findeth a good thing and obtained favour from the Lord. Most times, as a single man you carry almost all your burdens alone. You’d have to worry about what you eat, and my cooking skillz it’s not really that fantastic. But when I found my wife, I knew I had found my better-half. Now, when I think about things, I share it all with my wife. We wake up from same bed in morning and head to our field, because we are both in entertainment. She’s the actress, script writer. I’m the director, editor. She’s very hard working. I don’t know anyone like us in this industry. She works day and night. We wake up every single day, with the mind set of making ourselves happy. So, challenges are nothing to me anymore.
As busy as you have described your wife and as budding as your skills are in cooking, how does your wife still have time to cook for you? Or doesn’t she?
Why not? Yes, she does. It is said that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Definitely, she cooks amazingly, but I told her to stop, so she can get enough rest. Most times, she would insist, because she wants to take care of her man. But I always insist, as we now have chefs.

Politics / See The 33 Amendments To The Constitution By Nigerian Senate by HenryOmon(m): 7:28pm On Jul 27, 2017
Some very important and sensitive aspects of the Country’s constitution was on Wednesday voted to be amended by members of the Senate based on popular demand from the Public.

Thirty-three bills were sponsored by senators for amendments to various sections of the Constitution.
Here are some of the crucial decisions reached by the senators.
1. Members of the Council of States — adopted.
This amendment was proposed to make former President of the Senate and former Speakers of the House of Representatives members of the influential National Council of State. It was adopted by the senators.
The Council of States currently consists of the President (chairman of the council), the Vice-President (deputy chairman), all former presidents and all former heads of the state, all former Chief Justices of Nigeria, the President of the Senate (incumbent), the Speaker of the House of Representatives (incumbent), all state governors (incumbents), and the Attorney-General of the Federation (incumbent).
2. Authorisation of expenditure — adopted
The president’s power to continue withdrawing funds from consolidated account after expiration of the annual budget has been whittled down from six to three months.
3. Devolution of Power — rejected
Senators rejected this proposition by 90 to five votes when it came up.
4. Financial Autonomy of State Legislature — adopted
Senators approved an amendment that will see state legislators superintend over their own budget, rather than the existing practice that gives governors powers to appropriate expenses of lawmakers.
Federal lawmakers at the National Assembly already enjoy financial autonomy.
5. Special accounts for local government — adopted
The proposal says local government administrators should be allowed to manage their own accounts as against the existing policy in which governors exert powers over allocations to local government areas.
This section, if amended, will allow separate accounts for local governments from states for receiving monthly federal allocation.
6. Democratic existence funding and tenure of LG Council — adopted
This amendment will prohibit constitution of caretaker leadership for LGAs, a tool that critics said governors have exploited to trample on the independence of local government areas.
7. State creation and boundary adjustment — rejected
In a narrow vote of 48-47, senators rejected an amendment to Section 8 of the Constitution that would have allowed only democratically elected local government councils to participate in state creation and adjustment of boundaries amongst states.
The collapsed proposal also sought to clarify identified ambiguities in the procedure for state creation.
8. Immunity for legislators for acts in the course of duty — adopted
Senators voted to give themselves immunity for anything they say on the floor during plenary or when they hold committee briefings, i.e.: they want absolute freedom of speech and expression while on duty.
One senator, however, rejected the amendment. The identity of the senator and reasons for the action are unknown.
9. Conduct of by-elections and power to de-register parties — adopted
The amendment seeks to alter the Constitution to give the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, powers to deregister any political party that fails to meet some criteria, which include failure to win at least one elected seat from councillorship to presidential after a generation election.
10. Presidential assent — adopted
Senators complain that the executive neither rejects, vetoes nor assents to several bills they passed after several months, leaving them confused on the fate of such bills. This proposal seeks to end this by making any bill that is passed by the National Assembly automatically become law if the executive fails to reject, veto or sign it into law after 30 days of transferring same to the president.
11. Time frame for submission of names of ministerial nominees — adopted
Senators recommend that the Constitution must specific portfolio (ministry) to every ministerial nominee for Senate confirmation.
12.Thirty-five percent affirmative action for women as ministers — rejected
Senators rejected mandatory 35 per cent slot for women in the federal cabinet.
13. Submission of commissioner nominees with their portfolios — adopted
An elected governor has 30 days from swearing-in day to name commissioners.
14. Submission of names of office of commissioners shall be attached with portfolio — adopted

The amendment will require the governor to attach specific portfolio (ministry) to every commissioner nominee for House of Assembly confirmation.
15. Appointment of minister from the FCT — adopted
Senators approved constitutional amendment to give a slot to the Federal Capital Territory in the Federal Executive Council. Currently, only the 36 states of the federation are given at least one ministerial slot each in the federal cabinet.
16. Change of names for LGAs — adopted
An amendment proposal for flexibility in the change of name of local government areas was approved by the Senate today.
Changes will be easily effected to spelling and other errors in the name of any local government

Health / See 14 Foods That Can Boost Your Brain-power by HenryOmon(m): 6:55pm On May 04, 2017
In the 1990’s, researchers released a small study which found that when adults listen to the music of the 18th century classical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart they perform better on intelligence tests. Numerous studies have been done since to found foods that increase the intelligence as Mozart music does. Here are 14 most powerful foods that put your brain at the top of its game.

1. Oily fish (wild salmon, mackerel, sardines)

More than half of brain mass is made up of lipids, and over 65% of these are fatty acids that belong to the well-known Omega family. These fats are vital to the production and development of brain cells, maintaining the fluidity of cell membrane. They also play a huge role in neuron activity. Oil-rich fish like wild salmon, fresh tuna and sardines contain Omega 3 fats that help your brain cells interrelation to each other. As a rule, try to eat at least two portions of oil-rich fish a week. Note: while fresh fish contains Omega 3 fatties, tinned one does not. In addition, fish contains phosphorus and iodine– both important elements for brain work.

2. Dairy products (milk, cheese, sore cream)

The American and Australian scientists measured I.Q. of 972 volunteers and came to a conclusion that those participants of experiment, who daily used dairy products, were tested on logical thinking and memory much more successfully, than those who neglected yogurts and cheese. Fatty dairy products are especially useful as our brain more than half consists of fat. The lack of crucial fats can become the reason of various unpleasant diseases, for example multiple sclerosis. What is more, protein, calcium, vitamin D and magnesium found in dairy products, play important role in stimulation of brain activity.

3. Liver (chicken, veal, beef)

The brain accounts for around 25% of the body’s oxygen needs. Iron is required to get oxygen to the brain by means of the blood’s hemoglobin. Liver is one of the diet’s assets guaranteed to contain this metal. Additionally, liver is one of the most important sources of Vitamin B. Since the mid 1990s, it has been known that these vitamins, mainly B1, B6, B9 and B12, improve cognitive function and the results of intelligence tests.

4. Whole grains

Fiber-rich whole grains are an integral part of the Mediterranean diet. It is also loaded with vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts, wine and olive oil. Resent research shows that this diet may be linked to lower risk of the mild cognitive impairment that can progress to degenerative diseases. Generally people do not eat nutrients or foods in isolation; they eat in combination with other foods so there is value in dietary patterns. This type of diet can reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and other vascular risk factors such as high blood pressure. All of that may have a role in increasing risk for brain malfunction and diseases. Since the body breaks down the carbohydrates in whole-grain oats very slowly, they help to keep you sharp for long hours.

5. Spinach

There’s science to back up your mom’s advice to eat your spinach. Studies show that people who take in more vitamin C perform better in tests for attention, recall and memory. Experts suggest eating at least 5 portions of vegetables and/or fruit a day, but the key is to eat a variety. When picking veggies, go for a rainbow colors, not only because they look great, but because this is a proof to the beneficial nutrients they have inside. All leafy vegetables share richness in Vitamin B9 or folates, which is thought to play an active role in the development of a fetus’ nervous tissue and also in the renewal of blood cells. If spinach is not to your taste, go for lamb’s lettuce, watercress, broccoli, iceberg lettuce or different types of herbs. Among these veggies rosemary is worth noting as it has certain flavonoids notably apigenin in its aroma that has stimulating properties affecting memory and concentration through encouraging cerebral blood flow

The Association of Resident Doctors is the umbrella association of all medical doctors below the cadre of consultants in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.
One of the objectives of the association is to provide appreciable welfare and palpable support system to her members, who labour day and night to sustain the health care delivery system in the state.
At the same time, the Association is also poised towards ensuring that people of Osun State have access to standard health care services as obtainable in other teaching hospitals in the country.
LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, was established by the Decree of Military Government of the old Oyo State in 1991.
The official Government Gazette that established the Teaching Hospital states clearly that it will operate at per (in areas of health care services provision and remuneration of her staffs)with other teaching hospitals in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is on these important premises that the ARD LAUTECH OSOGBO has continuously reiterated that doctors must earn their salaries to function effectively.
The Association has maintained that the payment of emoluments of essential services providers should not therefore be optional since it will be preposterous to put the lives of the masses in the hands of unpaid doctors – this is likened to putting one’s hands in the fire and expecting not to burn the hands!

Issues
Poor infrastructures

The Association wishes to bring to the notice of the public that facilities in the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo for health care delivery have degenerated rapidly over years. It is an irony that the government that has demonstrated unprecendented bias towards infrastructural development, even though at the expense of worker’s welfare, has neglected the health sector. Our people have been condemned to death by this singular act of the government.
Poor Remuneration
At present, resident doctors in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo are the lowest paid doctors, throughout the entire Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A resident doctor in LTH, Osogbo earns one fourth of the salary of his colleagues in other teaching hospitals – this can easily be verified. Not only this, doctors remain the only set of workers among all staffs within the hospital with this disturbing statistics.
How did we get here?
In 2015, the governor of Osun State and other labour unions (strategically leaving doctors out) agreed to a fractionalization of their salaries to half of original earnings. The doctors in the state were not part of this agreement and they would never be as this is alien to labour law. We are being owed salaries from july, 2015 till date, including months of unpaid salaries during the period of suspension of services in demanding for our rightful wage. Our doctors toil day and night trying to safeguard the health of the people at the expense of their families. Our children do not see us at home because of tight working hours and call duties. Yet we have nothing to show than fractionalized, truncated, bastardized and FULLY TAXED QUARTER SALARIES!
Sometimes last year, we secured a commitment (MOU) from government that the arrears of the fractionalised salaries would be paid once the economy improves. It is thus amazing that despite several funds (excess crude oil, paris club refund etc.) received into the coffers of the state, this promise is yet to be fulfilled.
Yet, members of the Association had continued to work under this atmosphere of hardship. This is certainly demoralising and sickening that doctors can be subjected to this kind of treatment at this age and time.

Foreign Affairs / See The Top 10 Air Force Fighter Jets In The World (2017) by HenryOmon(m): 9:48pm On Apr 01, 2017
The top 10 Air Force Fighter Jets analysis is based on the combined criteria of speed, range, technology and armament. In addition the inputs of the pilots on the capabilities of the various warplanes during dog-fight training was also considered. These aircrafts are operational warplanes and are incredibly powerful.

These are the top 10 fighter aircraft in the world:



1. Lockheed Martin / Boeing F-22 Raptor (USA)

The most advanced and expensive fighter till date is the F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter. It is almost invisible to radars and carries a powerful array of weaponry.

The engines of the raptor allow the aircraft to supercruise over long ranges, while thrust-vectoring nozzles, combined with a triplex fly-by-wire flight control system, make it exceptionally maneuverable.

This aircraft is yet to be offered for export customers, even other allies and NATO countries. It is still number one on the list.



2. Lockheed Martin F-35 (USA)


The F-3, is a new multi-role fighter. One of its variants, the F-35B achieved initial operational capability with the US Marine Corps in 2015.

This multi-role fighter can perform on air defense missions, close air support and tactical bombing. It is compatible with the latest air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.

The F-35 was developed under a Joint Strike Fighter program, which was intended to replace existing aircraft types with a common fighter. In the near future the F-35 will replace the AV-8B, A-10, F-16 and F/A-18 warplanes in service with the US military and to be exported to a number of countries.



3. Chengdu J-20 (China)


Chengdu J-20 is the new China’s stealth fighter. It was designed to compete against other fifth-generation fighters, such as the US F-22 Raptor and Russian PAK-FA. It is speculated, that development of the J-20 was assisted by the Russian MiG aviation company. Low-rate initial production of this stealthy aircraft commenced in 2015. First operational J-20 stealthy fighters were delivered to Chinese air force in 2016.

China has developed in the last decade and has taken a more transparent approach to its military programs.
