Nigerian Beverly and Melvin are first two contestants to leave the big brother house on the final day out of the last five....

i was reliably informed that part of the reason for the disqualification was that they refused to pay a compulsory 10m naira for cola. They initially thought it was a trap but most of them will pay the money today and will be cleared.

MultiChoice Africa, parent company of satellite pay television DStv, has announced ESPN and ESPN Classic will be withdrawn from broadcasting at the end of the month(JULY 31).

In a statement, the company said: “MultiChoice would like to notify its DStv subscribers that it has received notification from ESPN that it intends to close the ESPN and ESPN Classic Television Channels in Africa on Wednesday, 31 July.

“This appears to be a business decision by ESPN affecting all its channels in Africa; Europe and Middle East.”

This will be a big concern to sports lovers in Africa, especially NBA basketball fans, followers of the PGA tour and the NFL which the station broadcasts exclusively.

DStv subscribers and sport lovers took to Twitter to express their concerns:

‎3 drunk Guys entered a taxi.D taxi driver knew that dey were drunk so he started d engine $ turned it off 3 minutes later. He told dem"We done reach there ooooo".The 1st guy gave Him money & 2nd guy said "ThankYou" 3rd guy
gave d driver a hot slap.The
driver was shocked,tinking †ЂΞ 3rd drunk knew what he did. But he asked"wats dat for?" 3rd
guy replied."CONTROL your SPEED NEXTTIME,u nearly kill us!!

Once in a flight, a lawyer who thought he was smart decided to play a game of "who knows", he turned to his neighbour who happened to be a Nigerian and requested they play, The Nigerian asked the rules, to show how smart the lawyer is, he said, "I will ask you a question, if you answer correctly I will give you $500, but if you fail, you will give me $50, then you will ask me, if I get it, you will give me $50, but if I fail, I will give you $500.

The lawyer went first, he asked the Nigerian man, "what is the distance between earth and moon?", the Nigerian paid $50 immediately, his turn, he asked the lawyer, "What goes up the hill with 3 legs and come down with 4 leg?" The lawyer consulted all the encyclopedia, Internet, google, facebook and his smartest friends, finally he reluctantly paid $500.

After he was restless for another 20 minutes, he woke up the Nigerian and asked, "So my friend, what goes up the hill with 3 legs and come down with 4?" The Nigerian gave him $50 and went back to sleep.

Naija no carry last.

FACT: Only Nigerians can have full conversations with just QUESTIONS.

The fact that scientist cannot find the truth about the existence of God does not mean It doesn exist. Human beings are not the only living things on earth.Just imagine what will be going thru goat's mind abt the creator.Does it beleive dat God exist?. Do you think that we are only living things faced with this paradox? They also think cus dey have brains.Ants think;rats think, fowls think; plants think. And what do you think is thier conclusion, Paradox beyound thier comprehension since they ve got little brains. And who said that our brains are not small too. It is too small to comprehend the creator of the creator.Our reasonings are so limited, so is the reasoning of other living things. We cannot jump into conclusion where our reasonings end cus it does not end there. So what if goats have decided that thier creator created them in is own image and dey all agreed to dat cus all thier logical meanings support it, does it mean that thier reasonings are correct? So my conclusion goes thus: God exist.We cannot fathom or comprehend all things about his existence since our human brain is too small to comprehend that

Seems that the best answer is cylcle, We have water cycle, nitrogem cycle, carbon cycle, etc, guess the creation of the universe is in cycle as in God created human dat created house that created somethin that created, and on and on and on , that created God



No wonder, the sun, moon, stars and all the planets are round makes movement in cylcle.

Destroying a Country's Standard of Living: What Libya Had Achieved, What has been Destroyed

"There is no tomorrow" under a NATO sponsored Al Qaeda rebellion.

 

While a "pro-democracy" rebel government has been instated, the country has been destroyed.

Against the backdrop of war propaganda, Libya's economic and social  achievements over the last thirty years, have been brutally reversed:

The [Libyan Arab Jamahiriya] has had a high standard  of living and a robust per capita daily caloric intake of 3144. The  country has made strides in public health and, since 1980, child  mortality rates have dropped from 70 per thousand live births to 19 in  2009. Life expectancy has risen from 61 to 74 years of age during the  same span of years. (FAO, Rome, Libya, Country Profile,)

 

According to sectors of the "Progressive Left" which have endorsed NATO's R2P mandate:  "The mood across Libya, particularly in Tripoli, is absolutely—like there’s just a feeling of euphoria everywhere. People are incredibly excited about starting afresh. There’s a real sense of rebirth, a feeling that their lives are starting anew. (DemocracyNow.org, September 14, 2011

emphasis added)

The rebels are casually presented as "liberators". The  central role of Al Qaeda affilated terrorists within rebel ranks is not  mentioned.

"Starting afresh" in the wake of  destruction? Fear and Social Despair, Countless Deaths and Atrocities,  amply documented by the independent media.  

 

No euphoria, A historical reversal in the country's economic and  social development has occurred. The achievements have been erased.

 

The NATO invasion and occupation marks the ruinous "rebirth" of Libya's  standard of living  That is the forbidden and unspoken truth:  an entire Nation has been destabilized and destroyed, its people driven into  abysmal poverty. 

The objective of the NATO bombings from the outset was to destroy  the country's standard of living, its health infrastructure, its schools and hospitals, its water distribution system.

And then "rebuild" with the help of donors and creditors under the helm of the IMF and the World Bank.

The diktats of the "free market" are a precondition for the instatement of  a Western style "democratic dictatorship ".

About nine thousand strike sorties, tens of thousands of strikes on civilian targets including residential areas, government  buildings, water supply and electricity generation facilities. (See NATO Communique, September 5, 2011. 8140 strike sorties from March 31 to September 5, 2011)

 

An entire nation has been bombed with the most advanced ordnance, including uranium coated ammunition.

 

Already in August, UNICEF warned that extensive NATO bombing of Libya's water  infrastructure "could turn into an unprecedented health epidemic “ (Christian Balslev-Olesen of UNICEF's Libya Office, August 2011).

 

Meanwhile investors and donors have positioned themselves. "War is  Good for Business'. NATO, the Pentagon and the Washington based  international financial institutions (IFIs) operate in close  coordination. What has been destroyed by NATO will be rebuilt,  financed by Libya's external creditors under the helm of the "Washington Consensus":

 

"Specifically, the [World] Bank has been asked to examine the need for repair and restoration of services in the water, energy and transport sectors [bombed by NATO] and, in cooperation with the International Monetary Fund, to  support budget preparation [austerity measures] and help the banking  sector back on to its feet [The Libyan Central bank was one of the first government buildings to be bombed]. Employment generation for young  Libyans has been added as an urgent need facing the country." (World Bank to Help Libya Rebuild and Deliver Essential Services to Citizens emphasis added)

 

Libya's Development Achievements

 

Whatever one's views  regarding Moamar Gadaffi, the post-colonial Libyan government played a  key role in eliminating poverty and developing the country's health and  educational infrastructure. According to Italian Journalist Yvonne de  Vito, "Differently from other countries that went through a revolution – Libya is considered to be the Switzerland of the African continent and  is very rich and schools are free for the people. Hospitals are free for the people. And the conditions for women are much better than in other  Arab countries." (Russia Today, August 25, 2011)

These developments are in sharp contrast to what most Third World  countries were able to "achieve" under Western style "democracy" and  "governance" in the context of a standard IMF-World Bank Structural  Adjustment program (SAP).

Public Health Care

Public Health Care in Libya  prior to NATO's "Humanitarian Intervention" was the best in Africa.  "Health care is [was] available to all citizens free of charge by the  public sector. The country boasts the highest literacy and educational  enrolment rates in North Africa. The Government is [was] substantially  increasing the development budget for health services, (WHO Libya Country Brief )

Confirmed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),  undernourishment was less than 5 %, with a daily per capita calorie  intake of 3144 calories. (FAO caloric intake figures indicate  availability rather than consumption).

The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya provided to its citizens what is denied  to many Americans: Free public health care, free education, as confirmed by WHO and UNESCO data.

According to the World Health  Organization (WHO): Life expectancy at birth was 72.3 years (2009),  among the highest in the developing World.

Under 5 mortality rate per 1000 live births declined from 71 in 1991 to 14 in 2009

Education

The adult literacy rate was of the order of 89%, (2006), (94% for males and 83% for females). 99.9% of youth are literate (UNESCO 2006 figures, See UNESCO, Libya Country Report)

 

Gross primary school enrolment ratio was 97% for boys and 97% for girls.

(see UNESCO tables at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/TableViewer/document.aspx?ReportId=121&IF_Language=eng&BR_Country=4340&BR_Region=40525

The pupil teacher ratio in Libya's primary school was of the order  of 17 (1983 UNESCO data), 74% of school children graduating from primary school were enrolled in secondary school (1983 UNESCO  data).

Based on more recent date, which confirms a marked increase in  school enrolment, the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in secondary schools  was of the order of 108% in 2002. The GER is the number of pupils  enrolled in a given level of education regardless of age expressed as a  percentage of the population in the theoretical age group for that level of education.

For tertiary enrolment (postsecondary, college and university), the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) was of the order of 54% in 2002 (52 for  males, 57 for females).

(For further details see http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/TableViewer/document.aspx?ReportId=121&IF_Language=eng&BR_Country=4340&BR_Region=40525

Women's Rights

With regard to Women's Rights, World Bank data point to significant achievements.

 

"In a relative short period of time, Libya achieved universal access for  primary education, with 98% gross enrollment for secondary, and 46% for  tertiary education. In the past decade, girls’ enrollment increased by  12% in all levels of education. In secondary and tertiary education, girls outnumbered boys by 10%." (World Bank Libya Country Brief, emphasis added)

Price Controls over Essential Food Staples

In most  developing countries, essential food prices have skyrocketed, as a  result of market deregulation, the lifting of price controls and the  eliminaiton of subsidies, under "free market" advice from the World Bank and the IMF.

In recent years, essential food and fuel prices have spiralled as a result of speculative trade on the major commodity exchanges.

Libya was one of the few countries in the developing World which maintained a system of price controls over essential food staples.

World Bank President Robert Zoellick acknowledged in an April 2011  statement that the price of essential food staples had increased by 36  percent in the course of the last year. See Robert Zoellick, World Bank

The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya had established a system of price  controls over essential food staples, which was maintained until the  onset of the NATO led war.

While rising food prices in  neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt spearheaded social unrest and political  dissent, the system of food subsidies in Libya was maintained.

These are the facts confirmed by several UN specialised agencies.

 

"Missile Diplomacy" and "The Free Market"

War and Globalization are intiricately related.  The IMF and NATO work in tandem, in liason with the Washington think tanks.

 

Countries which are reluctant to accept the sugar coated bullets of  IMF "economic medicine" will eventually be the object of a R2P NATO  humanitarian operation.

Déjà Vu? Under the British Empire,  "gun boat diplomacy" was a means to imposing "free trade". On October 5, 1850, England's Envoy to the Kingdom of Siam, Sir James Brooke  recommended to Her Majesty's government that:

"should these just demands [to impose free trade] be refused, a force should be present, immediately to enforce them by the  rapid destruction of the defenses of the [Chaopaya] river, Siam may be taught the lesson which it has long been tempting-- its Government may  be remodelled, A better disposed king placed on the throne and an  influence acquired in the country which will make it of immense  commercial importance to England" (The Mission of Sir James Brooke, quoted in M.L. Manich Jumsai, King Mongkut and Sir John Bowring, Chalermit, Bangkok, 1970, p. 23)

Today we call it "Regime Change", and "Missile  Diplomacy" which invariably takes the shape of a UN sponsored "No Fly  Zone". Its objective is to impose the IMF's deadly "economic medicine"  of austerity measures and privatization. 

 

The World Bank financed "reconstruction" programs of war torn  countries are coordinated with US-NATO military planning. They are  invariably formulated prior to onslaught of the military campaign,

Confiscating Libyan Financial Assets

Libya`s frozen  overseas financial assets are estimated to be of the order of $150  billion, with NATO countries holding more than $100 billion.

Prior to the war, Libya had no debts. In fact quite the opposite. It was a creditor nation investing in neighboring African countries.

 

The R2P military intervention is intended to spearhead the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya into the straightjacket of an indebted developing country, under the  surveillance of the Washington based Bretton Woods institutions. 

 

In a bitter irony, after having stolen Libya's oil wealth and  confiscated its overseas financial assets, the "donor community" has  pledged to lend the (stolen) money back to finance Libya's post-war  "reconstruction".   Libya is slated to join the ranks of indebted  African countries which have driven into poverty by IMF and the World  Bank since the onsalught of the debt crisis in the early 1980s:

The IMF promised a further $35-billion in  funding [loans] to countries affected by Arab Spring uprisings and  formally recognized Libya’s ruling interim council as a legitimate  power, opening up access to a myriad of international lenders as the country [Libya] looks to rebuild after a six-month war.  ,

Getting IMF recognition is significant for Libya’s interim leaders as it means international development banks and donors such as the World Bank can now offer financing.

The Marseille talks came a few days after world leaders agreed in Paris to free up billions of dollars in frozen assets [stolen money] to help [through loans] Libya’s interim rulersrestore vital services and rebuild after a conflict that ended a 42-year dictatorship.

The financing deal by the Group of Seven major economies plus  Russia is aimed at supporting reform efforts [IMF sponsored structural  adjustment] in the wake of uprisings in North Africa and the Middle  East.

The financing is mostly in the form of loans, rather than outright grants, and is provided half by G8 and Arab countries and half by various lenders and development banks. (Financial Post, September 10, 2011,
