A farmer in southern Nepal mistook his son for a monkey trying to steal his crops and shot the 12-year-old dead, police said on Sunday.
Chitra Bahadur Pulami had been climbing a tree to chase away macaques that had become a nuisance to the family but his father Gupta Bahadur, 55, spotted the boy and opened fire, wrongly believing him to be one of the animals.

“The son was hiding in a tree at their farm to chase away monkeys that used to come searching for food in the maize field,” said Arun Poudel, deputy superintendent of police in the remote Arghakhanchi district
“The son died on the spot after Gupta Bahadur mistakenly thought there was a monkey in the tree and opened fire. Our preliminary investigation shows that the father was unaware that his son had gone to the maize field to chase the monkeys.
“Both Gupta Bahadur and the gun that he used in shooting his son are now under the custody of the police.”
The three species of monkey native to Nepal, the rhesus and Assamese macaque and the common langur, are considered sacred and farmers normally try to scare them away from their crops without injuring the animals.
“I realised my mistake only when my son fell down and got stuck in one of the tree’s branches,” the farmer was quoted as telling police by the Nepali nagariknews.com website after the incident, on Friday.

Every day we are faced with the challenge of making the right decision concerning our choice of food and health. Of all the food and beverage choices you face every day, water essential to keeping you alive. But it’s not the only reasons to drink it. Here are 5 compelling reasons:
It will help you reduce stress : Water drives basic body performance. All of the systems in the body require water for proper functioning, and so do 90 percent of all chemical reactions in the body. Stress taxes all your basic body systems and when you're dehydrated, the effects are magnified. Given that more than half your body weight is water, just a 2-percent reduction in hydration has a dramatic impact on energy levels and cognitive function. And dehydration further raises levels of cortisol -- the "stress hormone."

Water won't wash your stressors away. But it can provide you with more energy, ease tension, slow breathing, and reduce the strain on your heart.
It will help you lose weight: Water is filling, so you feel fuller and eat less. A study found that those who drink water before meals consume an average of 75 fewer calories per meal. (Make that twice a day over a year, and that could add up to 14 pounds!) Water drinkers swap this zero-calorie beverage for sodas and other caloric beverages.
You'll be less apt to get sick: Hydration keeps your mucus membranes in top working order – they are gatekeepers to the natural defence system that helps keep out germs such as cold and flu viruses. When these tissues dry out, germs can more easily penetrate to the nasopharynx, where the nasal passages and mouth meet. And if you catch a bug anyway, the severity of your illness is more likely to be lower if you've been drinking a lot of water.
Water keeps you more comfortable: The act of drinking it will keep you warmer on a cold day -- and cool you off on a hot one. Your internal thermostat works better when you're well hydrated. Water helps regulate body temperature.

The body's temperature-regulating system, governed by the hypothalamus in the brain, is constantly picking up information that allows it to make adjustments to maintain a fairly steady core temperature. Hot sun? You'll sweat to cool down. Under the rain? The hypothalamus will know you're losing heat through your head and work to produce extra energy, such as shivering.

But these mechanisms work less well if you are dehydrated.
It will help regulate your blood pressure: Drinking water activates the parasympathetic nervous system -- related to the "fight or flight" system that makes you more alert, elevates blood pressure momentarily, and boosts energy. Not drinking enough water on a regular basis can also raise blood pressure. That's because dehydration causes blood vessels to constrict as the body strives to conserve water that it loses through perspiration, urination, and breathing. When blood vessels constrict, however, the heart pumps harder, bringing blood pressure

Dialogue, enlightenment and sensitisation programmes have been preferred as veritable options for tackling insecurity in the country. The submission was made yesterday at the opening ceremony of a two-day conference organised by the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO) in Abuja. Titled Culture, Peace and National Security: the Role of Traditional Rulers and Local Government Chairmen, the chairman of the event and former President Olusegun Obasanjo attributed the current security challenges confronting the country largely to ignorance, which causes mistrust among the people.

He also fingered unemployment, religious intolerance, ethnic rivalry as well as agitations for resource control as some of the monsters breeding hatred and conflict in the country.

“Studies have shown that a number of factors are responsible for violent conflicts in Nigeria. These include poverty, unemployment, religious intolerance, ethnic rivalry, growing acculturation, resource control agitations and ignorance.

“Most critical of these factors however is ignorance, which leads to suspicion and mistrust,” the former President said.

Obasanjo, who was represented by the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, stressed that the only viable way out of the ugly situation is dialogue and enlightenment programmes for youths, community leaders, village heads, religious leaders, local government chairmen, traditional rulers as well as politicians.

He added that erosion of cultural values due to increasing acculturation and negative external influences have also contributed largely to the spate of violent crimes and insecurity in the country.

“Another critical factor worthy of mention is the breakdown of cultural values. Unfortunately, evasion of these values due to increasing acculturation and negative external influences, have also contributed largely to the spate of violent crises and general insecurity we have today,” Obasanjo said.

Declaring the conference open, President Goodluck Jonathan, who was represented by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Sarah Pene, said traditional institutions and local government councils as agents of grass root mobilisation should view the present security problem as a wake-up call to their statutory responsibility.

He, therefore, charged them to rise to their role as the chief security officers of their areas of jurisdiction.

In his welcome address, the Executive Secretary, National Institute of Cultural Orientation, Dr. Barclays Ayakoroma, blamed the current socio-political and economic woes experienced in the country on cultural disorientation.

He said: “In place of the cherished cultural values of fair-play, kindness, patriotism and communal living, our citizens have imbibed negative practices of dishonesty, stealing, disrespect, killings and other related crimes, which were alien to our culture.”

Hi, kindly forward a copy to bizlinkone@yahoo.com

FOR Lagos motorists, especially early risers, who miss their breakfast in their rush to workplaces but find solace in snacks or other quick-fix food while behind the wheels, it is the end of an era.

In simple terms, it is motorists beware! Just a bite on that snack or a sip from a sachet or bottle of water from that harmless hawker while on motion is now a traffic offence in the state.

It is also a crime for Lagos motorists to make or receive phone calls while they are on motion.

And the punishment is a three-year jail term or a fine of N20,000 for first offenders and N30,000 for subsequent offences or both for any other breaches subject to the discretion of the presiding magistrate.

These sanctions are contained in the Lagos Traffic Bill, which Governor Babatunde Fashola signed into law yesterday.

The law also banned commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as Okada, cart, wheel barrow and tricycle operators from carrying out their activities on the state’s section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, Ikorodu Road, Agege Motor Road, Funsho Williams Avenue, Eko Bridge, Third Mainland Bridge, Carter Bridge, Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Victoria Island-Lekki-Epe Expressway and all bridges in the state.

For routes, which the law allows them to operate, commercial cyclists must limit their activities to between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. One minute outside this time-frame is an offence.

However, motorcycles of courier companies are exempted except that they must have engine capacity of 200cc, bear the prescribed number plates and identification, fitted with proper mail cabin and without any passenger.

The law also prohibits articulated trucks (trailers and others) from entering or moving within the Lagos metropolis from 6.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. This, however, does not affect fuel tankers and long passengers’ vehicles.

Any defaulting trailer operator will have his vehicle impounded and to pay a N50,000 fine or a six-month imprisonment upon conviction.

Fashola, who signed the bill at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Alausa, Ikeja, said the law was in response to the growing challenge of road and traffic management and the need to ensure that those who chose the state as their home are not short-changed by regular traffic offenders.

He said his government was committed to addressing transportation challenges in the state, adding that the law, which took 18 months to prepare, would complement his administration’s efforts at bringing sanity to the roads through the provision of adequate highway signs, traffic lights as well as a traffic radio.

The governor urged motorists to see the law as a means to changing the state for the better, adding that the success of the law would be defined by the voluntary compliance of motorists and road users and not the number of arrests traffic management officers would make.

He said: “There are rules that operate in many cities that compare with this state, Nigerians have been to many of these cities and they comply with them. Why then is it difficult to comply with such rules at home? Our lives will be better if we comply with this law.

“Some of us have some parts of the law that we like and some parts that we don’t like. The deputy governor and I are the only ones that have immunity from arrest, but we would subject ourselves to the law because no one will be above this law.

“Those who are ready to live with the realities and the complexities of our state are welcome and those who can’t should stay away. Those that drive against traffic when we queue are cheating us and we will not allow such to happen again. If we cannot reclaim back our sane society for the coming generation, I think we have failed,” he said.

On the restriction on commercial cyclists, Fashola lamented the increase in road accidents, saying that 722 cases of accidents from the operators were recorded at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja from January to July 2012.

Of this number, 568 were males and 154 were females. At the accident and emergency centre at Toll Gate, 252 accidents involving the operators were recorded from January to July this year with 35 persons dead, Fashola said.

According to him, 50 per cent of the victims were the motorcycle riders, 27 per cent represented their passengers 23 per cent stood for passers-by.

The governor charged the traffic management agencies to ensure that motorists comply with the law and warned public officials to comply with the law because there would be no sacred cows.

“Can we then pretend that we do not know about this and then we do not act? This is our response and we will hope it would bring success. We are all joined at the hip to reclaim our society back. We expect cooperation and we are recruiting lawyers from the private sector to prosecute cases and the state’s Attorney-General will lead the prosecution counsel,” he said.

Earlier, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, said the state government would undertake an intensive public enlightenment campaign to ensure that motorists do not fall victim of the law on the excuse of ignorance.

He, however, said enforcement of the law would only take effect after it had been gazetted and circulated to all stakeholders.

“It is only then that real enforcement will begin. As at now, the police and even Lagos State Transport Management Agency (LASTMA) do not have a copy, even if we make photocopies, we still need to ensure we carry out enough sensitisation.

“The law is there dormant, you do not have to fear it. If you obey the law nobody is going to arrest you or convict you, the issue of going to jail will not arise and what we are looking for in all honesty is voluntary compliance,” Ipaye said

Before Fashola signed the bill into law, the Lagos League of Political Parties (LLPP) had described it as revenue-motivated.

The coalition urged its suspension, arguing that its punitive nature would lead to the exploitation of the motoring public by the enforcing agents.

In a statement, LLPP Chairman, Chief Udoka Udeogaranya, argued that the bill, if signed into law in its present form, would not make any difference because it was more of a revenue-generating policy than a traffic control blueprint.

He said from the content and intent of the bill, it was clear that it would not address anything that had not been taken care of by the federal laws on traffic control.

The only difference in the bill, Udeogaranya noted, was that it had more punitive measures and how to rake more money into the state coffers.

“Punitive and high taxation measures,” the coalition declared, “have never seem to work when the execution organs have traces of weakness, unprofessional and corrupt conducts as have been expressed with impunity by some members of LASTMA.

“We strongly hold the view that punitive measures are secondary after government has looked into fundamental issues like over-population as against insufficient infrastructure that give rise to abuse of traffic regulations and find ways of addressing it, rather than crowding the laws of the state with a law that can lead more to deepening corrupt practices of some LASTMA officials than addressing issues it was promulgated for.”

THERE IS NO OTHER THING THAT BLACKBERRY IS PARTICULARLY GOOD FOR, APART FROM BLACKBERRY MESSENGER.

Is it application-wise? In fact, among all smartphones, BlackBerry has the fewest number of applications it can run.

Is it flexibility? To use BlackBerry service, you must buy its service in whole, you can't use, say N17 to BBM for the meantime; you must subscribe.

Is it Battery? Hmmmmmm. Your guess is as good as mine.

Even if you have a regular Internet subscription, you will still need to buy BlackBerry service before you can download with its browser.

Remove the battery of a BlackBerry device, put it back, and it will take at least 5 minutes to fully power on.

Prove any of the things I said about BlackBerry wrong.

Displaced Bakassi indigenes, have threatened to return to the oil-rich Peninsula ceded by International Court of Justice to the Republic of Cameroon, claiming that United Nations and Federal Government deceived and abandoned them.

The people alleged that they were being harassed, molested and killed by the Cameroon gendarmes and that fishermen from Cross River State were not allowed access to the peninsula for fishing contrary to the Green Tree Agreement.
Briefing newsmen, weekend, spokesman of the displaced people and paramount ruler of Bakassi Local Government Area, Etinyin Etim Edet, said that they had exhausted their patience waiting for the international community and Federal Government to fulfill the promises made to them as well as settle them in their new place all to no avail.
Etinyin Edet, who is also chairman of the state Council of Chiefs, said that having waited for almost 10 years for the Federal Government to act and show good faith without any hope in sight, the Bakassi people had decided to demand for the return of their homeland, which he said was given out without a referendum.
The monarch said: "This is to inform all Nigerians, that the youths of the area are already restive and I as the paramount ruler cannot stop them from resisting now what they consider an unfair treatment by ICJ, UN and Nigeria, which ignored the human cost of their action."
"With total abandonment by Nigeria, the youths threaten to go back to the creeks to render the entire Gulf of Guinea inaccessible to oil and maritime exploration activities in collaboration with their Niger Delta compatriots and their northern sympathizers.
"They had threatened that before October 10, 2012, they will take back their Bakassi in whatever means possible if urgent steps were not taken by Federal Government to redress the above. Nigerians should bear me witness that I had tried my best over period from the day of the ICJ judgment till today to maintain peace and order within the affected population. I can no longer guarantee that peace."
