PoliticsAsari Dokubo Dares Nigeria, Declares Biafra Government (photo) by jobsonlist(op): 7:45pm On Mar 14, 2021
The agitation for a Biafra State has taken another dimension with a new proclamation by ex-militant leader, Asari Dokubo.

The former warlord dared the federal government to constitute a Biafran government.

Dokubo, on Sunday, declared himself the leader of the new Biafra defacto Customary Government (BCG), The Sun reports

Uche Mefor, Head of Information and Communication of the customary government, announced that George Onyibe will be the Secretary, while Emeka Esiri will be in charge of the legal matters.

Mefor, in a statement, blamed injustice and marginalisation on the Igbos found in various zones of the country as the reason for the new government.

Dokubo assured that the defacto administration will tackle insecurity challenges faced by the Igbos and improve the lives of the people of the region.

The former warlord said the BCG decided to take its destiny in its hands and bring freedom to children and generations of Biafrans yet unborn.

Dokubo said he hesitated a little, “but I thank God that it’s time for us to do our duty and our service to the motherland, I have accepted this role. I have dedicated my life a hundred percent to play this role”.

“I want to call on our brother, George Onyibe to come on board to join as the secretary of the defacto customary government of the State of Biafra. He will take care of the administrative, day to day administration of the Biafra State. I also call on our brother Emeka Emeka Esiri to take care of the legal needs of this nascent government.

“My brothers and sisters, the four of us will kick start the process, others will come on board. We want volunteers who are committed, we want volunteers because there is nothing anymore. We are the people who have volunteered to salvage ourselves and the rest of us.

“I also call on Biafrans in the various province of the Biafra nations in Aba, Abakiliki, Anang, Awka, Calabar, Degema, Eket, Enough, Nsukka, Ogoja, Oji River, Okigwe, Onitsha, Opobo, Orlu, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Umuahia, Uyo and Yenegoa province.

“We are going to proceed to set up provincial structures of government starting with provincial assemblies and provincial governance and administrators. Let nobody be mistaking that Biafra will be worse than Nigeria.”.

Dokubo listed the areas the government will concentrate on. He cited securing the lives and properties as the most important.

He assured of investment in science and technology “to increase the scientific and technological discoveries, fabrications and making life easier for people through science and technology.”

Dokubo also mentioned education and agriculture as key areas of focus. He condemned the stoppage of food transportation to the South.

“You are all aware of the recent plot where they decided to stop food from the north. They failed woefully, they will continue to fail. The Government of Biafra States will look to make sure that we only eat what we can produce.

“Nobody can stop us. Nobody can blockade us as they did in the first war. We’re not going to fight any war with anybody, we’re walking to freedom. We will not shoot any gun with them, they will prepare their weapon but they will have nobody to kill with their weapon,” he added.

CelebritiesWhy I Dumped Visual Arts –broda Shaggi by jobsonlist(op): 7:30am On Mar 14, 2021
Fans of comedian and actor, Samuel Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, have often wondered where he gets the energy he exudes from. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he stated that his liveliness and zest for life were inborn.

He said, “My energy is inborn. It has always been in me. Talent cannot be learnt in any school. I studied Visual Arts at the University of Lagos. But with the situation of things in Nigeria, how many people can afford to buy paintings? I had to find another way.



“Whenever I am on set, I am always happy because I know I am going to work. If I am not on a movie set, I would be on my own set shooting skits. If I am not on set, I would be shooting music videos or writing music.”

Professing his love for fuji music, Broda Shaggi said, “I am working with Pasuma on a fuji song. Right from my childhood, I have always loved Pasuma and K1 de Ultimate. I love anything that has to do with my culture. That is why I love Yoruba music. I cannot speak Yoruba all the time in my skits because of my audience, which includes fans that don’t speak Yoruba. But in whatever I do, I make sure the Yoruba culture is reflected there.”



Shaggi, who is an ambassador for several brands, also stated that he would keep doing the things the brands saw in him that made them approach him.

TravelU.S. Asks Visa Applicants Denied By Trump To Re-apply by jobsonlist(op): 2:20pm On Mar 09, 2021
Most U.S. visa applicants who were denied because of former President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Nigeria and 12 mostly Muslim-majority countries can seek new decisions or submit new applications.



The State Department said this on Monday.

President Joe Biden overturned Trump’s so-called Muslim ban on Jan. 20, his first day in office, calling it “a stain on our national conscience” in his proclamation.




State Department spokesman Ned Price said applicants who were refused visas prior to Jan. 20, 2020, must submit new applications and pay a new application fee.

Those who were denied on or after Jan. 20, 2020, may seek reconsideration without re-submitting their applications and do not have to pay additional fees, Price said.



Applicants selected in the diversity visa lottery prior to the current fiscal year are barred by U.S. law from being issued visas if they have not gotten them already, he said.

The diversity lottery aims to accept immigrants from countries that are not normally awarded many visas.

Since December 2017, after a revised version of the original travel ban was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, some 40,000 people have been barred from entering the United States under the ban, according to State Department data.


During the Trump administration some countries were added and others dropped from the list.

At the end of Trump’s presidency it comprised Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Venezuela and Yemen.

CrimeMany Injured As NURTW Members Clash In Ondo by jobsonlist(op): 9:35pm On Mar 07, 2021
Some members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, in Akure, Ondo State, clashed on Sunday evening at Owode Area of Akure, the state capital.

The cause of the clash was yet unknown as at the time of filing this report but it was gathered that the incident was a clash between the factions of the union.



The incident came barely a week after the state government banned the activities of the union and ordered them to vacate the motor parks in the state.

Many members of the union were reportedly injured in the clash.

One of the injured, Mr Omoniyi Oni said he and his fellow drivers were allegedly attacked at a barbing salon by some members of a faction loyal to the state chairman of the union, Mr Jacob Adebo, adding that the attackers waylaid them and attacked them with dangerous weapons.

He said some of them sustained varying degrees of injuries and had been receiving treatment at the police clinic in the town.


He said, “We are members of the APC and not opposition members. We all worked for the emergence of the governor in the first and second term. And Governor Akeredolu is a lover of all and instructed us not to fight anyone but Idajo has been victimising us for no reason. He will seize our vehicles, and order his thugs to vandalise them.

“The governor has instructed that the union should suspend its activities for now but they are still taking illegal money from us, leaching anyone who isn’t in their group.”



Another factional member of the group, Toyin Fayagbe said, “The chairman has turned the NURTW to his family business. He had driven us away for the garage for more than a year.”

He called on the state governor to come to their aid as they could no longer stand the provocation.

However, efforts to reach the chairman was unsuccessful on the telephone but one Mr Femi James, who picked Adebos’ phone claimed to be his personal assistant. He denied the allegation, saying the chairman was not in the state.

“We dont know anything about it, the chairman is not around. How can somebody who is not in the state ordered for the attack of anybody, “James stated.

Travel( Photos) World's First Space Hotel Scheduled To Open In 2027 by jobsonlist(op): 6:26am On Mar 07, 2021
(CNN) — If you're daydreaming of future travels while stuck at home during the pandemic, why fantasize about the beaches of Bali or the canals of Venice when vacationing in space could be in your future?
Back in 2019, Californian company the Gateway Foundation released plans for a cruise ship-style hotel that could one day float above the Earth's atmosphere.
Then called the Von Braun Station, this futuristic concept -- comprised of 24 modules connected by elevator shafts that make up a rotating wheel orbiting the Earth -- was scheduled to be fully operational by 2027.
Fast forward a couple years and the hotel has a new name -- Voyager Station -- and it's set to be built by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a new construction company run by former pilot John Blincow, who also heads up the Gateway Foundation.
In a recent interview with CNN Travel, Blincow explained there had been some Covid-related delays, but construction on the space hotel is expected to begin in 2026, and a sojourn in space could be a reality by 2027.
"We're trying to make the public realize that this golden age of space travel is just around the corner. It's coming. It's coming fast," said Blincow.
A hotel like no other
Space-hotel-voyager-station (3)
Space tourism is viewed as travel's next frontier.
Orbital Assembly Corporation
Renderings of what the hotel might look like suggest an interior not dissimilar to a luxury Earth-bound hotel, just with some pretty specatcular out-of-this-world views.
When the initial designs premiered a couple years ago, Tim Alatorre, senior design architect at Orbital Assembly Corporation told CNN Travel the hotel's aesthetic was a direct response to the Stanley Kubrick movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- which he called "almost a blueprint of what not to do."
"I think the goal of Stanley Kubrick was to highlight the divide between technology and humanity and so, purposefully, he made the stations and the ships very sterile and clean and alien."
Instead, Alatorre and his team want to bring a slice of earth to space via warm suites and chic bars and restaurants. Guests might be in space, but they can still enjoy regular beds and showers.
That's not to say the hotel will ignore the novelty of being in space altogether. There are plans to serve traditional "space food" -- like freeze dried ice cream -- in the hotel's restaurant.
Plus there will be recreational activities on offer that "highlight the fact that you're able to do things that you can't do on Earth," according to Alatorre.
"Because of the weightlessness and the reduced gravity, you'll be able to jump higher, be able to lift things, be able to run in ways that you can't on Earth."

Orbital Assembly Corporation
So how exactly would the physics of a space hotel work?
Alatorre told CNN Travel that the rotating wheel would work to create a simulated gravity.
"The station rotates, pushing the contents of the station out to the perimeter of the station, much in the way that you can spin a bucket of water -- the water pushes out into the bucket and stays in place," he said.
Near the center of the station there's no artificial gravity, Alatorre explained, but as you move down the outside of the station, the feeling of gravity increases.
Space-hotel-voyager-station (1)
This rendering offers a glimpse at what the space hotel could look like.
Orbital Assembly Corporation
The hotel's original name was chosen because the concept was inspired by 60-year-old designs from Wernher von Braun, an aerospace engineer who pioneered rocket technology, first in Germany and later in the US.
While living in Germany, von Braun was involved in the Nazi rocket development program, so naming the space hotel after him was a controversial choice.
This was partly why the name's been changed, Blincow told CNN Travel.
"The station is not really about him. It's based on his design, and we like his contributions towards science and space," Blincow said. "But you know, Voyager Station is so much more than that. It is the stuff in the future. And we want a name that doesn't have those attachments to it."
Space tourism is becoming an increasingly hot topic, and there are several companies trying to make it happen -- from Virgin Galactic to Elon Musk's SpaceX.
SpaceX's StarShip system could help get Voyager Station off the ground.
"We cannot call SpaceX our partner, but in the future we look forward to working with them," Blincow told a recent live event promoting Orbital Assembly, advising viewers to "hang tight."
For now, the space hotel isn't advertising a room rate, but expect it to come with a pretty hefty price tag attached.
Virgin Galactic, for example, plans to launch passengers into sub-orbital space at $250,000 per person, per trip.
However the team behind Voyager Station have said they're hoping to eventually make a stay at the hotel equivalent to "a trip on a cruise or a trip to Disneyland."

THIS Girl is not with any boyfriend.
I would have loved to help, but it seems its too late. After connecting with her energy source. I see her taking away ( whether she was forced into an SUV or directed to get in using diabolical means).
...............

Other things i noticed is that she was taking to a big house laying on the floor. Used by someone trying to renew his strength. ( whether for money or power) that wasn't revealed to me.
........

I tryed engaging her, I was able to connect with her energy but it seems her spirit already left her body. If not I would have been able to make her useless for those people .
..........
She will be found very close to a bridge but most likely not alive.
............
Please don't take my word ooo. I'm a bio energy believer. Who has God's given ability to connect to other people's energy wherever they are.

Family2 Out Of 3 Kids Are Not Mine - Man Married For 12 Years by jobsonlist(op): 6:43am On Sep 30, 2019
The time devil settles in your home is when one gets married to a bad partner. I got married to a wrong woman about 12years ago, we had 3kids, 2 boys and a girl, our first child (a boy) is 11years old.

I have been suspecting her for some time now. We've been having issues recently, our families and friends have tried to help us reconcile but she kept insulting me and my family members an attitude which she developed overnight. Initially she stole from my save about a million naira and ran away from home with our kids, I started searching for her, called her people to persuade her to return home because her safety and that of the kids is more important to me and I do not want to know the reason why she stole from me. She returned with the kids and that was the beginning of it.

Her stealing habit never stopped rather she turned it into an hobby. There was a time she returned home after her usual practice, I asked the kids where their mother took them to, they said they stayed in one uncle's house.

That was the beginning of my worries, who is this man my wife will always run to anytime she steals from me? .what was their motive,I prayed and hoped she will not kill me one day. So I decided to dig up her Facebook account and see who are mutual friends are, I tried to see if I can get the details of the man she runs to.

I picture one of her ex, believing he could be the one, but something struck me about this man, my first son has a form resemblance with him, is it possible I am not the father of our first son?, or is it just my imagination? She did the usual again and I vowed never to take her back ,families and friends tried to settle our differences but I refused, they don't want to see things from my perspective ,they don't seem to understand me, they kept using the kids as a bait, I accepted her again.

About 2 years ago, she packed out of the house on her own, insisting I get her an apartment for her and the kids which I did, she demanded for a shop where she will sell frozen foods, I did all she wanted, gave her monthly allowance for the kids and her self. So, I decided to take the bold step, I did DNA test for my first son, after some weeks the result came out NEGATIVE.

I almost lost it, I wasn't myself, I called her one on one and told her about the DNA result, she wasn't shock and she didn't feel remorseful, I told a friend of mine who was also close to her to talk to her about the result and recorded their conversation, she said I should not think of digging too deep because I might hurt myself, already the doctor advised that I carry out DNA test on the remaining two kids, few weeks back , I got the results, our second child which is the girl is mine, but the other boy is not mine.

So painful after 12 years, I get to know the person I called my wife. Now, she is no where to be found with the kids. I want you all to help me fish out this wicked woman, so she give me my daughter before she destroys her life

Science/TechnologyGoogle Photos Can Now Search For Text In Your Pictures -- Here's How by jobsonlist(op): 7:52am On Sep 02, 2019
Scrolling through 2,567 photos to find the precise picture you want can be a nightmare. Now, a new feature in Google Photos will let you search for pictures that have text in them so you can quickly find what you're looking for. You can even copy and paste the text when you find it.

The new tool makes it easier to find a recipe you saved, a funny meme you screenshotted or your bank account number. You can also use it to pinpoint a photo that you took of a Wi-Fi password, business card or phone number.

Google Lens powers this search feature. The company's image-searching software is available in Google Photos for Android and iPhone ($1,000 at Amazon). It's still rolling out, however, so if you don't see it yet, keep checking daily (and make sure the app is updated).

Here's how to use the Google Photos search tool to find your photos.

You can copy and paste any text on the photo.

1. Open the Google Photos app.

2. Tap on the search bar and type what you're looking for. For example, if you took a screenshot in Yelp or Google Maps of a coffee shop you want to try, just type coffee or the name of the business.

3. Once Google has spotted the image for you, tap on it.

4. Tap the Google Lens button on the bottom of the screen. It's a square with a dot in the center.

5. Google will highlight all of the text in the photo. Tap on the words you want to copy.

6. Select Copy text.

7. Now you can paste the text wherever you need, like in the messages app or in a browser.
