Health / Do You Think Having Abortions Can Stop A Woman From Having A Baby? by Jmaya(m): 12:24pm On Mar 08, 2017 |
Bibi has been married for 12 years without a child and thinks the abortions she had a single lady could be the cause.. Here's here story.... My name is Bibi, a 38-year-old married woman. I have been married for 12 years now without a child to show for it » and now, my marriage is on the verge of collapse. My husband, Tammy, is fast losing patience as he is not getting any younger, coupled with the pressure his family has been putting him through to get another wife who would bear him children. Tammy loves me so much and has been standing up for me but the pressure is getting to him and I fear he may succumb to it and take another wife. I know I am not barren as I had two abortions when I was a single girl and I strongly believe that could be the reason I have not been able to have a child now that I want one desperately. Our doctors have told me there is nothing wrong with me biologically and that the delay could be as a result of anxiety on my part but I still can't stop thinking that the babies I aborted could be the reason I have failed to get pregnant. It gets so bad that most nights, I have nightmares where I see little babies crying for me to carry them and anytime I stretch forth my hands to pick them up, they will disappear. A man of God I met and confessed to told me that the babies I killed are responsible for my present status but I know such cannot be medically proven but I am still very worried. I desperately need a child or I would lose my husband to another woman. I need help fast. Bibi." Dear readers, after going through Bibi's story today, what do you think she should do in the circumstances she has found herself in? And Do you think having abortions can stop a woman from having a baby? |

Crime / Senator Asked Buhari To Declare State Of Emergency In Zamfara by Jmaya(m): 10:04am On Jun 27, 2016 |
Senator Saidu Dansadau said on Sunday that he had written to President Muhammadu Burahi asking him to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara State. Dansadau, who addressed journalists in Abuja, said he listed various offences committed by the Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, in his letter to the President. The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, were copied in the letter. He urged Buhari and the nation’s parliament to invoke the necessary provisions of the Constitution which empowers them to declare state of emergence in the state, in the interest of peace and safety of the residents. The letter read in part, “By Sections 4 (2) and 176 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria the executive powers of a state are vested in the governor of that state. “By Section 215 (4) of the Constitution, the governor is the chief security officer of the state. The Constitution envisages that to perform these onerous responsibilities, the governor is expected to be resident in the state and give his full attention to the governance of the state. “I wish to bring to the attention of Mr. President that since the incumbency of the Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar which began five years ago, public perception is that the Governor has spent only about 20 per cent of that whole period in Zamfara State. “He had utilised the other 80 percent junketing from one part of the country to the other and shuttling around the globe. All matters of State that require action are kept waiting until he returns to the State. “Consequently, intelligence and security reports are kept in abeyance. For instance, at a period, out of 60 straight days, the governor spent only two days in Zamfara State.” He said as a result, there are increasing threats to public order in the state with hundreds killed. “If the killings in the remaining 23 State Constituencies in the state are added, the total number of lives lost can better be imagined. All these losses would have been averted were the Governor alive to his constitutional responsibilities,” he added. He said anything short of anything short of a state of emergency would “turn the thick forest between the southern border of Zamfara State with Katsina, Kaduna, Niger and Kebbi States into a national park of criminals and killers, worse than what the nation has ever witnessed before”. The state governor could not be immediately reached for comments. The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Umar Jibo, did not pick his call or respond to a text message sent to him. |
Family / Father Disowns Two Sons Arrested As Cultist Leaders by Jmaya(m): 9:55am On Jun 27, 2016 |
The father of two suspected gang leaders of the Awawa cult in the Dopemu area of Agege, Lagos State, has disowned his children, urging the police to prosecute them as required by the law.It was learnt that the two suspects – Fatai Popoola and Yakubu Popoola – were arrested by the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, Alausa, on Friday.According to Punch, apart from 27-year-old Yakubu and 30-year-old Fatai, the police also arrested 13 other suspected members of the gang identified as: Ajayi Babatunde, Ajose Anthony, Nurudeen Adebayo, Olayemi Lasege, Afeez Sanusi, Oluwafemi Ajibade, Opeyemi Oluwasola, Oluwatobi Adewunmi, Sunday Akerele, Timothy Ogar, Actor Amaechi, Jimoh Sanni and Owolabi Adediran.The suspected members of the Awawa cult had dispossessed people of their property and r\*ped young girls in the Aluminum Village and Valley Estate areas of Dopemu.A police source said that the cult boys had attacked the police but were overpowered and arrested.The source said, “The arrest of the 15 Awawa cult members was based on a tip-off. The Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, had got several complaints about the Awawa cult and he directed the taskforce Chairman, SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to arrest the hoodlums.“The operation was carried out around 12am. The hoodlums attacked the policemen with weapons, but in the end, they were overpowered.”It was learnt that the father of two of the suspects, identified only as Alhaji Popoola, told the police that he had given up on them and the law should take its course.The 66-year-old father was at the taskforce office, telling the police that he came to tell his sons that their end had come.He said, “I have warned the two of them several times to desist from gang activities, but they refused. I am shocked that I have two sons among the suspects arrested by the police. They are no longer my sons.“I only came as a disciplined man to tell the two of them that their end has come. I think it is a lesson to wayward children to always heed their parents’ advice.”One of the suspects, 30-year-old Sanni, alias Last Born, from Okene, Kogi State, confessed to be a leader of the gang, adding that he had r\*ped five women in the course of their operations.He said, “The person who brought me into the Awawa cult stays in Oloosha, Mushin area and his name is Olata. I lead the Awawa boys in Dopemu.“Some of my boys also sell Indian hemp at pubs and nightclubs. They sell for as low as N100 and we take Indian hemp before going for any robbery operation.“I have r*ped about five girls in the area. My boys and I collected N3,000 every day from shop owners in the Dopemu area. We burgled shops in Aluminum Village.”The bad guys would be charged to court on today (Monday). |

Romance / How To Stop Getting So Damn Distracted During Sex by Jmaya(m): 10:22am On Nov 12, 2015 |
During sex, do you frequently find yourself
thinking about grocery shopping, or getting
distracted by the cobwebs on the ceiling?
It’s frustratingly hard to turn our brains off
when we’re being intimate, even though we
all know how much better sex can be when
we’re mentally present. These tricks can
help. Practice Outside the Bedroom The key to all of this is mindfulness, or put less jargon-y, learning how to be more present in the moment. If you spend your entire day adrift in a sea of anxiety, multitasking, and overactive thinking, you can’t expect to be perfectly calm and centered the second your partner starts taking your clothes off. The best way to learn how to be more present in the bedroom is to practice slowing your mind down outside of the bedroom. Being present is a skill that requires practice, and it’s usually easier to make the space for that practice when you’re not naked with another person. Meditation can help a lot here. I highly recommend Headspace, an app that teaches you how to meditate. Headspace takes a topic that seems befuddling to most people, and breaks it down into simple, easy-to- understand concepts. It guides you through structured meditation sessions, so you’re never left wondering what you’re supposed to be doing. Even 10 minutes of meditation a day will naturally make it easier for you to feel more present during sex. If ever there was a good argument for starting up a meditation practice, this is it. Set Yourself Up for Success The distractors that I hear about most frequently from my clients are clutter, electronics, and to-do lists. You can transform your bedroom a sex haven by making it a clutter- and electronics-free zone. If you’re a frequent to-do list ruminator, quickly jot down your list items before you go pounce on your partner. Take a moment to think about any other distraction triggers that you might have. Do you tend to get distracted if you know there are dirty dishes in the sink? Or maybe the peeling paint on the wall always catches your eye. Take any necessary steps to remove that distraction. Some distractors can be eliminated permanently, while others may require ongoing effort, but the idea is to try to create more mental space for yourself. You don’t want to create a situation where things have to be perfectly in place before you’re able to be intimate with your partner, but you can try to keep your usual distractions at a minimum. Expect Distraction If you’re like most people, you’ve probably had the experience of thinking about the cupcakes you need to bake for your kid’s soccer team, and the consequent feelings of guilt for thinking about baked goods while balls deep in your partner. You get so derailed by your frustration that you wind up getting even more distracted than you were by the original thought. The truth is that it’s impossible to be present and focused 100% of the time. You can’t stop your brain from thinking. You’re going to have unwanted (and incredibly random) thoughts pop into your head at all moments of the day, including during sex. If you have the expectation that your mind should be clear of all thoughts except for how much fun you’re having with your partner, you’re going to be bitterly disappointed. Instead, acknowledge that distraction is the price we pay for having brains. Try to reframe your goals and think about minimising distractions rather than eliminating them altogether. Don’t Fight Your Thoughts Trying to prevent yourself from thinking never works, and usually just intensifies the distraction. You’ve got to figure out a way to let the thoughts just be, without making them take up even more space. Headspace has a great metaphor where they compare mindfulness to sitting beside a busy intersection. Imagine that your thoughts are the cars driving down the roads. You can’t stop the flow of cars, but you can prevent yourself from hopping into one of the cars and driving off in it. Try to allow thoughts to pop into your head during sex, but don’t actively think about them. You may even find it useful to visualise them driving out of eyesight. Use Your Breath Focusing on your breath is one of the core principles of mindfulness. It’s a great way to let go of your thoughts and bring yourself back into the moment. When you feel yourself hopping into that little hot rod with one of your thoughts, take a deep breath and imagine gently opening the car door and escorting your brain out of the car. One particularly effective breathing technique is to imagine sending your breath down to your X-rated bits as you inhale, and back up to your nose as you exhale. This requires a bit of extra attention, and brings your focus back to your body. Narrate What’s Going On Here’s another super simple mindfulness technique that can work wonders during |

Food / PONMO (COW SKIN) - What You Need To Know. by Jmaya(m): 2:48am On Oct 09, 2015 |
I know most of you might be wondering,
" Ponmo ?' , 'Why Ponmo ?". Anyways the ongoing
debate has made me weigh in on this delicious
topic. There has been a threat of a ban hanging
around the consumption of ponmo which has
sparked Nigerians moving into a hot debate for or
against it. Well, this post is aimed at bringing you
to a decision about your view on Ponmo
consumption .
WHAT EXACTLY IS PONMO ?
Cow hide/skin, popularly known as ponmo , is
basically cow skin that has been processed to
look similar to beef. There are two (known)
varieties of ponmo. This classification is based on
their mode of preparation and colour. One is
usually white/cream/off-white in colour, while the
other is brown.
In the white/cream variety, the hide is removed
from the skin by soaking in boiling water, and
then using blade to shave off the hair; while in
the brown variety, the hide and skin are subjected
to a high level of heat, so as to burn out the hide
(fur). After this process, the skin is then washed
several times and then boiled for hours so as to
ensure that it is softened.
The skin is then sold in our markets as ponmo –
a great delicacy and an important ingredient in
the preparation of several stews in various
cultures in Nigeria.
Most Nigerians love ponmo so much that some
believe a good day meal is incomplete without it.
Ponmo is a regular sight at parties and several
public outings, served in different formats.
THE ARGUMENT
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, recently at
the third joint anniversary of the Animal Science
Association of Nigeria and the Nigeria Institute of
Animal Science, held at the University of Ibadan
with the theme: “Value addition in the Nigerian
livestock industry: A strategy for economic growth
and stakeholder’s empowerment.” said: "I am
confident that the satisfactory production levels
achieved in the poultry and swine segments will
soon stretch to reach other commodities such as
beef, dairy, micro livestock and animal by-
products such as leather, bones, hides and
skins."
He further said that “I also commend NIAS for its
advocacy and enlightenment programme on radio
and television that promote value addition in
livestock, as against sale and consumption of
primary products alone, particularly with the issue
of curtailing the widespread consumption of of
hides and skins as ponmo , which ought to be
tanned into leather for a very high dollar return to
the farmer and tanneries. I expect that competent
regulations acceptable by all stakeholders will
develop so as to give credibility that our set
standards for food safety are being implemented
to boost value addition.”
With that statement, it can be expected that very
soon ponmo would be banned from our markets,
pots and even our plates.
NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT OF PONMO
Despite the taste appeal ponmo delivers to your
taste buds, it would be quite shocking for some of
you to know that ponmo contains little next to
nothing in terms of nutritional value.
The nutritional analysis of a 40 gram piece of
ponmo is:
Calories (150g); Total fat (4g); Saturated fat (1g);
Poly saturated fat (0g); Mono saturated fat (0g);
Trans fat (0g); Cholesterol (0g); Sodium (0mg);
Potassium (0mg); Total carbohydrate (0g);
Dietary fibre (0g); Sugars (0 per cent); Proteins (0
per cent); Vitamin A (0 per cent); Vitamin C (0 per
cent); Calcium (0 per cent); Iron (0 per cent).
From the above, you need no telling that the
consumption of ponmo gives nothing to your
body. So, why are we so addicted to this piece of
leather.
POSSIBLE DANGER TO HEALTH
According to a post on Punch, the Director-
General of the Nigerian Institute of Leather
Science and Technology, Zaria, Kaduna State, Dr.
Isuwa Adamu, on Tuesday warned against the
consumption of animal hides and skin, known
locally as ponmo . He said: "it is not advisable for
you to consume ponmo in the sense that some of
the animals killed and used for ponmo actually
have skin diseases. Some of these skin diseases
are such that boiling them ordinarily may not kill
the bacteria,’’.
He added that some of the animals killed had
been ill and undergoing injections but the rearers
went ahead to kill them, leaving the buyers
vulnerable to chemicals in the animal skin.
The DG also added, “Some of the animals
because of the ailments that they have gone
through are sometimes treated by way of
injection with chemicals. People don’t allow these
chemicals to complete its cycle and be removed
from the body; they sometimes go ahead to kill
these animals.
“So, if you consume the ponmo , the tendency is
that you are consuming the chemicals directly
because the skin part of the animal retains most
of the harmful substances.
In addition to this, during the production process
of ponmo , the hides and skin are usually
subjected to naked flames so as to enable the
hides to burn off the skin. During the burning
process, a lot of different unhygienic substances
such as trash, wood, charcoal, rubber tires and so
on, are thrown into the furnace to sustain the
blazing heat.
As the furnace burns, the combusting wood, gas,
or charcoal emits chemicals known as polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which finds its
way into the smoked food and contaminates it.
Exposure to PAHs is known to cause skin, liver,
stomach and several other types of cancers in
laboratory animals. In addition to this,
epidemiological studies have found a positive
statistical correlation between intestinal tract
cancer and frequent intake of smoked food. These
studies have also linked occupational exposure to
PAHs to cancer in humans.
Sad right?, but who cares. No one has ever died
from ponmo consumption, no be so. But take a
look at the ponmo below, tasty right? Do you
know it is same as just a cooked italian leather
bag/shoe? Your favorite brands Lois Vutton et al
all use ponmo in manufacturing their products.
You want your own locally made standard leather
accessories? STOP YOUR PONMO CONSUMPTION
TODAY.

consumption? Hit the comments section and lets

Business / 3 Things Stopping You From Achieving Your Dreams And Goals by Jmaya(m): 10:59pm On Sep 28, 2015 |
Am sorry if this thread is in the wrong section... Many a time there are things that get in the way of our dreams and goals. It could be you don’t have money, right now, to start a business or buy a piece of machinery you need. Maybe you can’t seem to get yourself to study as much as you’d like to. Here’s one nugget of truth: for YOU to achieve your goal, there are THREE simple things YOU have to do. And here they are… Ah ha!! Got you where I want you, right?! Jokes aside, here they are: Be Optimistic What is optimism? “It is a tendency, disposition or proclivity to look on the more favourable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favourable outcome.” – Dictionary.Reference No matter what happens, things don’t always go as planned or as we want them to, and it’s the way it is. However, you have to keep going! That is where the optimism lives. Build up your self-esteem and get thicker skin. To be able to trail new blazes or break new ground, you need optimism otherwise you’ll be discouraged as soon as wake up every morning. Some days are tough, and all you have to fight it in the end is self because you’re responsible for your own happiness and success. Don’t Wait For a Big Break It is often shoved down our throats that we all have a “day” when we’ll have our big break. It may seem helpful or even “cool” to say such a thing, but it really isn’t cool because it creates some sort of expectation. Don’t look forward to the day you’ll make it because that will stop or delay you from moving forward. Now is the right time to make your move and do what you ought to do. Please. Stop Complaining Instead of complaining, assess the problem, find the solution, and get on the offensive. Be an offensive player; complaining is playing defence. Defence is good but it won’t make you a winner. Bonus: Don’t Fear Failure Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The fear of failure sometimes stops us from achieving our dreams, becoming who or what we want to be, starting a new relationship/ course/business/________ (fill in the blank). If you’re absolutely determined to achieve, become, start or finish you will overcome anything to do it. Laugh in the face of fear, and then do the thing that scares you! |
Celebrities / Why I Did The Longest Freestyle On Radio — Vector by Jmaya(m): 5:44am On Sep 05, 2015 |
Ace rapper, Vector recently set a record of longest freestyle on radio in Nigeria. He was invited for the Rhythm Freestyle Fury where he rapped non -stop for 2 hours 30 minutes. In a chat with Showtime, the talented rapper revealed why he engaged in it. Vector “It’s just to create an excitement around the genre hip-hop and pretty much just do what we can .The whole industry is very cliché .We are not trying to do anything extra outside dance with our talents. While we are still making dance music, it only makes sense for us to do record breaking things and also make history.” Speaking on how prepared he was before the show, he says he wasn’t prepared. “I didn’t prepare for it. How do you prepare for freestyle? Everything I rapped about people sent it to the station via social media so I didn’t prepare anything. All I was thinking of is, ‘ God don’t let them come up with stupid topics’ and as usual somebody said I should rap about Akara.” |

Education / How To Stop Comparing Yourself To Others And Start Getting Ahead by Jmaya(m): 1:58pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
With so much competition in the world, it’s
easy to get discouraged and feel jealous of
other people’s success. It’s also perfectly
natural to compare yourself to friends and
coworkers, though confidence coach Steve
Errey says it can lead to the kind of defeatist
thinking that keeps you from getting ahead.
In a great Daily Muse post titled “ The 3 Most
Insane Ways You’re Comparing Yourself to
Others—Plus, How to Snap Out of It ,” Erry
offers tips for overcoming wrongheaded
thinking and moving forward with your own
career. His strategy involves outlining three
beliefs everyone should lose if they want to
maintain a healthy, positive mindset.
First up: “Other people have all the luck.” As
Errey says, this is a dangerous form of envy
because it comes “without recognition of your
own capability” and “without effort, with a
sprinkling of ignorance.” In other words, other
people achieve things not because of luck, but
because they work to make them happen, and
instead of dwelling on this nebulous concept
of luck, you should seek out ways to prove
yourself.
And luck isn’t the only thing you’re likely to
see yourself as lacking. The second belief,
“Other people have something I don’t,” speaks
to that sinking suspicion we all get about not
being good enough. As Errey says, it’s “crazy”
to compare your worst qualities to the best
you perceive in others, and while it’s true that
some people are more talented than you,
some have less skill and ability, and at the
end of the day, these things are only as
important as you make them out to be.
“It’s one thing to compare avocados for
ripeness or bed linens for luxuriousness, but
comparing your insides with someone else’s
outsides is BS,” Errey says.
Finally, Errey takes on this common lament:
“Other people are more successful than me.”
Here, he says, the issue has to do with the
concept of success. It’s different for everyone,
and what’s more, it’s a “moving target” that
changes all the time. They key is recognize
how you define the word. Do you value
working for a team that does great things, or

Politics / We’ll Stamp Out Insurgency – Osinbajo by Jmaya(m): 11:59am On Jul 18, 2015 |
The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on
Friday said the Federal Government was
committed to stamping out the activities of
insurgents in the country.
Osinbajo said this in Gombe when he paid a
condolence visit to families that lost their
loved one to the Gombe central market twin
blasts on Thursday.
Osinbajo, “The incident is unfortunate; we are
convinced we are going to stamp out
insurgency in the country,” he said.
Osinbajo said he was directed by President
Mohammadu Buhari, to commiserate with the
people of Gombe over the incident.
“This morning when we paid the President
Sallah homage, he asked me to come to
Gombe to commiserate with the people, the
Emir and governor of Gombe over the terrible
incident that happened.
“He said I should let them know that we are
with them; we heard about the death of men,
women and children and we feel your pains.
“People should be rejoicing in celebration of
Sallah but instead they are mourning; it is
unfortunate,” he said. Osinbajo said it was
the duty of the government to protect the
lives and properties of the citizenry.
“I salute the braveness of Gombe people. In
spite of the unfortunate incident they are still
in the market
“This is because they know, it is only God
that can protect them, men can only do their
best,” he said.
Governor Dankwambo, in his speech, thanked
the Osinbajo for the visit, adding that the
people of Gombe State were highly honoured
with the gesture.
The Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu,
also thanked the vice president for the visit.
He said the visit did not come to him as
surprise considering the love Buhari and
Osinbajo had for Gombe people and the
entire north east.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that, the
vice president visited the Federal Teaching
Hospital Gombe, to see the victims of the
blast.
He also visited the scene of the blast and
some bereaved families.
It would be recalled that a twin blasts at
Gombe central market on Thursday claimed
over 50 lives and left many people wounded. |
Politics / MUST READ - OBJ Said Some Interesting Things About Jonathan's Administration by Jmaya(m): 10:20am On Jul 18, 2015 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is
definitely no longer a fan of Goodluck
Jonathan and has taken yet another jab at
the former president.
Obasanjo, who did not spare Jonathan the
length of his tongue in the build-up to the
2015 general election, said on Friday that
Jonathan misused the opportunity that the
minority ethnic group had in producing the
president of the country.
He went further to say that the consequence
of Jonathan’s actions while in office would
affect the Niger delta for a long time.
Obasanjo made these remarks while
responding to questions after delivering a
lecture at Benson Idahosa University, Benin
city, Edo state. He said "You can help
anybody to get a job but you cannot help
him to do it. There is no particular person
who got there without the people. I believe
that the opportunity that afforded itself in
2010 was for somebody from the minority to
become the president of Nigeria. We should
never lose such opportunity but what he did
with that opportunity is entirely up to him.
What he did or did not do with it will reflect
for a long time on that part of the country."
He continued by saying "And don’t take that
lightly, what he did or did not do with it, will
reflect for a long time on that part of the
country. For those blaming me, was I the
only person that supported him? I was not
the 18 million voters who voted for him. Who
did you vote for, is it not Jonathan?"
Obasanjo expressed confidence in the
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari and suggested that education should
be used as a tool in the fight against
insurgency. Obasanjo noted that social
media could play a key role in the war
against Boko Haram, saying it could be used
to re-orientate the militants. In his words:
"Education is a moral enterprise which we
need to re-engage, the issue of Boko Haram.
President Buhari should also tackle it
(insurgency) from the angle of moral
education, if we are able to tackle Boko
Haram with education in our schools, both in
the social media that they use, we will dilute
their messages and positively win their
hearts. The capacity of all teachers would be
strengthened to deliver such messages;
morning and afternoon assemblies of our
primary and secondary schools should have
a strong dose of such messages, our
airwaves and social media should also be
saturated with such positive messages even
if we defeat Boko Haram on the battle front,
we need education to sustain the victory."
We recall that Obasanjo and Jonathan’s
relationship broke down after Jonathan won
the 2011 election and efforts to reconcile the
duo did not yield fruits. It is still believed
that Obasanjo’s lack of support for Jonathan
contributed to Jonathan’s loss of the March
28 election.

Celebrities / Rapper Young Thug And Birdman Allegedly Plotted To Kill Lil Wayne. by Jmaya(m): 10:12am On Jul 18, 2015 |
Cash Money CEO Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams,
rapper Young Thug and other members of
their entourage have been named in an
indictment alleging they conspired to kill
rapper Lil Wayne over a business dispute.
Channel 2 Action News has uncovered
an indictment filed in Cobb County in
June that alleges Williams and
another rapper named Bryan Williams,
aka Birdman, were involved in a RICO
conspiracy to kill Lil Wayne when his
tour bus was shot up in April. The
indictment also says all of the men
are members of the Bloods gang.
The indictment alleges that Dwayne
Carter (Lil Wayne) and Bryan Williams
(Birdman) had a business dispute
concerning Lil Wayne’s contract with
Cash Money Records. Lil Wayne owns
a portion of the record label. Birdman
is one of the co-founders of the record
label.
Lil Wayne later dismissed the lawsuit
“due to venue issues while problems
continued between (Lil Wayne) and
(Birdman).”
The indictment alleges that Young
Thug made a threat against Lil Wayne
and tour bus shooting suspect Jimmy
Winfrey carried out that threat.
Winfrey is also known as “PeeWee
Roscoe” and affiliated with Rich Gang.
Birdman is a part of the Rich Gang
rap group which was formed by Cash
Money Records in 2013.
The indictment goes on to say that
Winfrey was driving the white Chevy
Camaro that fired shots at Lil Wayne’s
tour buses the night of April 26 after
a police escort left the buses.
“After Atlanta Police discontinued
their escort, (Winfrey) and fellow
Blood Gang members entered
Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in
Cobb County in pursuit of the buses
occupied by (Lil Wayne’s) group,” the
indictment says. “(That’s when) the
white sports car pulled beside the
buses, shots were then fired into the
buses from the sports car with a .40
caliber handgun and a 9mm
handgun.”
The indictment goes on to say Winfrey
had a photo of the Camaro posted on
his Instagram account and attempted
to erase it following the shooting. The
Camaro was later found at the home
of one of Winfrey’s relatives.
Young Thug and Birdman have not
been charged in the incident.
Winfrey’s next court appearance is Friday....

The extremes some of these school officials go in terms of punishment. Principal of Government College Ughelli, Delta State, Mr Vincent Osi, may have just crossed the line between discipline and abuse in a very big way. See full story and graphic photo after the jump: According to a report from Bassey James, the student in question by the name of Oruma Osi got into a fight with a fellow student over the use of his spoon. As punishment to the crime, Mr. Vincent took out a cane, told Oruma to lie on a table and gave him 100 lashes which left permanent marks on the poor student's buttocks. www.naijazine.com/2015/07/when-discipline-goes-too-far-see-what.html?m=1

Politics / Nigerians Will Beg Us To Return In 2019, Vows Pdp (do You Agree?) by Jmaya(m): 10:33pm On Jul 07, 2015 |
Following the crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party has said Nigerians will beg it (PDP) to come back to power in 2019. The National Vice Chairman, South-South Zone, of the PDP, Dr. Cairo Ojugbou, made this remark on Monday at the party’s zonal secretariat in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. Ojugbou, who criticised the APC for not been able to manage the recent crisis engulfing it, explained that the ruling party had shown that it lacked coordination and ideology. On the Rivers and Akwa Ibom State tribunals going on in Abuja, the PDP national vice chairman expressed optimism that the PDP would win. He added that no amount of intimidation would make the party lose elections that it won squarely, adding that the people of Akwa Ibom and Rivers voted for the PDP. Ojugbou said, “Rivers and Akwa Ibom State tribunals are sitting in Abuja. No amount of intimidation will make the PDP lose the elections it won freely and fairly in these states. Any move to rig us out will be resisted.” He disclosed that the PDP has set up a committee led by the former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, adding that the committee was in Port Harcourt to receive memorandum on how the party can get back to power at the centre in the 2019 general elections. The PDP national vice chairman, however, restated that stance of his party on the appointment of Hajia Amina Zakari as the acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, maintaining that such an appointment remains unacceptable. According to him, “We have said that the appointment of Amina is completely unacceptable to us. The example that ex- President (Goodluck) Jonathan gave should be followed. We know Amina is not apolitical.” Speaking on the leadership crisis affecting the PDP in Bayelsa State, Ojugbou explained that a committee had been established to ensure that peace reigned in the state PDP. |

Family / Peacemaker Meets His End While Trying To Separate Warring Neighbours In Lagos . by Jmaya(m): 2:16pm On Jul 06, 2015 |
A peacemaker got more than he bargained for while tying to separate two warring neighbours as he was stabbed to death in the Ajegunle area of Lagos State. The peacemaker, identified as Kunle Abiola, was reportedly trying to separate two neighbours when one of them, identified as Chinomso, allegedly stabbed him to death. Chinomso, who had since been arrested by policemen, said he did it by accident, claiming that he never thought of stabbing him.An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as Kenneth, said: “The two men were quarrelling over a minor issue which later degenerated into fisticuffs. “Kunle came and pleaded with the two of them to stop fighting. He pleaded with both men, but they refused to listen.” Another witness, Ibrahim, said residents were still in a shock on what led to the death of Kunle and that only the arrested suspect could say why he stabbed the man. Ibrahim said: “He stabbed Kunle in the jaw and chest. Some people called the police. Chinomso was arrested. Kunle was rushed to the General Hospital at Ajegunle.” Kunle Abiola was said to have died on the way to the hospital. |

Celebrities / Eva Alordiah Gives Suggestions To A Better Nigeria In Open Letter by Jmaya(m): 8:38pm On Jun 06, 2015 |
Rapper Eva Alordiah published an open letter to the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on her blog. In the letter she makes suggestions for a better Nigeria based on what the people need and what she has experienced in neighboring countries. She wrote: Dear Mr President Buhari sir, What a pleasure it is to send you a letter my man! Kai kai kai! I am so honored to be communicating with you like this yo. I am going to go straight to the point and skip all unnesscesary mumbo-jumbo. There are two sides to everything Mr President and the only way you are going to take our dear Nigeria to canaan is by understanding this fact and knowing what to do with this information. Lucky for you I have done that job and all you have to do now is pay me daddy! Now there are two sides to what Nigeria needs. There is your side, and there is the peoples’ side. You know your side, and it must be a really good thing you have planned because the mighty God I serve couldn’t have put you in this position by mistake **except of cause you think you got here by sheer luck or votes of the people** Taahh! You have to know what the peoples’ side is Mr President. What are our needs, what do we yearn for, what do we need to heal our souls, how can we put us on the paths that would help our dreams come true. We are the ones living through the severe hardship of our great country, We are the ones working for the country despite the inhumane conditions we have to work in. We have tried our best so far and we have done well. Just imagine how much further we could take this country to with your help and dedication. If I were in your shoes, which I sincerely do not think I am worthy of, (I’d stick to my stilettos thank you very much) I would listen to the Nigerian people. The only way you can change this country is by doing for us. If you do for us then you do for yourself too. I sha know you are where you are by grace and by grace you will succeed at moving Nigeria forward, in Jesus Christ name, Amen Today 1st of June is Independence day here in Kenya and I am staring out into the most amazing view of trees and greenery thinking how so beautiful this place is. Take a trip Mr President, to Kenya. See bah, you don’t even have to go too far guy, only Kenya, our next day neighbour fa. It is heaven here guy!! Not entirely though, because the people have troubles of their own too. They have security issues just as much as every other country does, they have corruption in high places too. But they are the most happy people I have ever being around. The place is soooooooo beautiful and life here feels like what life should be in Nigeria if we could just put in a little effort. 3 things I brought home with me from Nairobi? 1. They Love genuinely! The Kenyans just love. They care about one and another and they do things, not just because there is something in it for them but because they believe when they do for one, they do for self. Love. This is what the Universe operates on. Can you inspire and instil the value of one love in the hearts of the Nigerian people? 2. They enjoy 24 hours electricity supply. Everywhere. If the power has to go off, the people are notified. You know what this does? You know what this means? This means that businesses work without the extra hustle that lack of power brings! And if businesses are working the people are successful. If the people are successful, the country is successful. If you do not do anything at all, please give the Nigerian people constant power supply. I say this on behalf of every Nigerian. We all know how this can improve every sector of the Nigerian economy so I would not make this letter longer than should be by stating the obvious. 3. If you cannot do No.1 and No.2 I sincerely doubt you would be able to do anything at all. So lets keep it at 1 and 2 and when you have accomplished those, I’d write you yet another letter to tell you the third most important thing I got from Kenya. Now I really like you guy. Prior to becoming the President, congratulations again, I heard a lot of things about you. Bad things. And some good. You know how people are, people talk, and boy was there much talk on your matter! I didn’t make any judgement of you however. I don’t roll like that. I have decided to make my own personal assessment of you myself based on what I experience during your time. So far I think I like you. You are the kind of guy I could have my morning coffee with. With Mr Jega of course. I like that guy. Don’t lose him. I was also thinking it would be a really cool thing to work for you. Like I said, I like you. I could be your special adviser on youth affairs and extra- curricular activities. With my position and influence in Entertainment and Music, I am quite confident that creating a direct communication pathway between your government and the Nigerian youth would be an easy feat for me. Although I charge by the hour, I promise not to go overboard with my billing. Think about this. Please note however, there are a lot of issues you have to deal with in Nigeria don’t get me wrong. Power is just one of them. There are issues with Education, Transportation, Corruption, Health services, Energy, Security…the list is endless and I’d hate to scatter your head just yet. You sef sabi this thing. My Nigerian friends online are going to be sending in comments below this post to tell you what they want and how they think your Government can move Nigeria forward. Please be prepared there would be a lot of comments. You see I have begun my duties and we haven’t even made my position official. I do this Mr President Buhari sir. I do this! Do not forget what I said kind Sir, there is your side, and there is the Nigerian side. Remember God speaks through men, if you listen to the people, you listen to God. I like you Mr President Buhari Sir. I think I might really like you. My Album “1960” drops next week! I’d send you an autographed physical copy, please send a picture holding it up will you? Thank you! God bless you. God bless Nigeria. Dear Nigerians, this is your moment, The President is reading this. Have something to say? Some suggestions maybe? Please air your views and opinions in the comments below. Say it. As e dey do you for bodi, just say it.
