@ even 100 million per car, this amount can open a car mart for me. We have to find out who owns this car!

The world’s most expensive car, a Bugatti Veyron has been spotted in Abuja. The car goes for $2.4Million (N400 Million). Just 300 of it were made and it must be flown back to Europe for repairs or maintenance. It is also said to be the fastest car in the world.
The daunting question still now remains WHO OWNS THE CAR? In countries where there is law and order such an expensive car would only create a lot of attention, and you must really be expensive to get such a ride under your arms.

Nigerians are the brightest,intelligent and talented people in Africa, unfortunately, they are the slowest to take action with all their knowledge in problem solving

Though Dana air may become extinct soonest, the few times I flew with them, their service was exceptional, the ladies were courteous, neat and presentable. Unlike Arik with their ugly, dirty, proud and rude crew members

This is getting messier. Nigeria is far far from knowing peace. and we have a government that's only interested in looting

An apparently new jihadist group announced its establishment by video recently. Calling itself Jama’atu Ansarul Musilimina Fi Biladi Sudan, it states as its goal to protect Muslims in Africa.
There is speculation that this new group may be a splinter of one of the apparently numerous groups that are collectively identified as Boko Haram. At this stage, it is unclear how large or influential this new group might be or whether it presages a violent struggle among erstwhile parts of Boko Haram.
Christian rhetoric, led by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), is also escalating. A CAN representative recently said that it is “ready to fight Boko Haram.” The press is reporting that “Christian groups” recently threatened to expel Muslim Fulanis from their neighborhoods. In another instance thirteen Fulanis were killed.
Meanwhile, the Borno Elders Forum June 14 called on President Goodluck Jonathan to greatly reduce the security presence in Maiduguri. At the same time, the Borno Elders appealed to Boko Haram to stop the fighting, which has “crippled all social and economic activities to the extent that people found it difficult to perform their five obligatory prayers in congregation.”
According to the press, the security services have been responsible for many deaths, and their seeming indiscriminate violence probably promotes popular support or acquiescence for Boko Haram. It is true that the majority of Boko Haram’s victims have been Muslims, though its claims of responsibility for attacks on Christians, highlighted by Sunday’s bombings in Kaduna and Zaria, are escalating. Under these circumstances, CAN’s rhetoric is understandable if unfortunate because it contributes to Nigerian religious polarization, especially in the North.

Look at all these overgrown babies, You guys have succeeded in chasing all the ladies away from my thread!The one wey una suck for pikinhood never do una?

Is breast best for inhibiting HIV? An unknown component of breast milk kills HIV particles and virus-infected cells, as well as blocking HIV-transmission in mice with a human immune system.

Even if babies born to HIV-positive mothers avoid infection during birth, around 15 per cent contract HIV during early childhood. Since the virus can get into milk, breastfeeding was one possible suspect.

To investigate further, Angela Wahl at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her colleagues created mice with human bone marrow, liver and thymus tissues that all became infected with HIV if the mice were given an oral dose of the virus. However, if the rodents were fed breast milk contaminated with HIV, the virus wasn’t transmitted.

Previous research had hinted at breast milk’s antiviral properties, but it was unclear if they would prevent transmission of HIV. “We have shown that milk has an intrinsic innate ability to kill HIV,” says J. Victor Garcia, who supervised the work.

The hunt is now on for the mysterious ingredient in breast milk that inhibits the virus. If it can be identified, it might even be used to prevent other forms of HIV transmission, such as sexual transmission.

Why do some breastfed babies born to HIV-positive mothers contract the virus, if breast milk doesn’t transmit HIV? It’s possible that suckling on cracked nipples may expose babies to virus in their mother’s blood.

LAX06IA301
HISTORY OF FLIGHT

On August 20, 2006, at 1809 Pacific daylight time, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-83 (MD-83), N944AS, experienced smoke in the cabin while taxiing to the passenger terminal following a normal landing at Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field - LGB), Long Beach, California. Alaska Airlines (ASA) operated the airplane as a scheduled commercial passenger flight under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 121. There was minor damage to the airplane as a result of a chaffed wire bundle that had arced and produced smoke in the cabin area. An emergency evacuation was conducted on taxiway K, with the deployment of the L1, R1, over wing, and tail cone exits. There were no injuries incurred by 140 passengers, 2 flight crew, or 3 cabin crew during the ensuing evacuation via the emergency slides. The flight departed Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Seattle, Washington, about 1630. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan had been filed.

WITNESS STATEMENTS

Cockpit Crew

The captain reported that following a normal landing, he and the first officer heard the sound of circuit beakers opening followed by multiple chimes in the cabin. The emergency interphone call chimes immediately followed the cabin chimes from the "A" flight attendant (FA) notifying them of an electrical smelling smoke that was filling the passenger cabin. He brought the airplane to a stop, set the parking brake, and along with the first officer assessed the situation. The flight crew agreed that an evacuation was necessary and notified LGB tower controllers. The after landing checklist was discontinued, and the engines and APU were shut down. He initiated the evacuation order over the interphone to the "A" FA, who in turn announced it over the PA system.

Cabin Crew

According to the flight attendants, during the taxi to the gate from landing, they heard a call button chime. The FA seated in the "A" position, looked into the cabin, she saw a female passenger turn off her call button and her appearance was not one of panic, so the FA thought it was a mistake. However, two or three more call button chimes immediately followed it. She stood up, looked back in the cabin, and saw a male passenger motioning her to come back into the cabin area. As she got to about mid-cabin, she saw some light smoke. Passengers told the FA that there was smoke emanating from the vent area near their feet. She acknowledged the information and went back to mid-cabin to inform the pilots. She reported that the flight crew did not immediately answer the call but she realized that another FA had already informed them of the situation.

The "A" flight attendant then started knocking on the cockpit door and yelling at the flight crew that there was smoke in the cabin. She then heard the flight crew voices reporting the situation to dispatch and heard the go-ahead for the evacuation. One of the pilots came on the PA system and said 'evacuate,' at which point she opened the L1 door. The slide did not deploy on it's own and she had to pull the red inflation handle to inflate the slide. She then instructed passengers to evacuate through the L1 side. She went to the R1 exit and opened the door; however, the emergency slide did not deploy. She again pulled the red inflation handle, but the slide still did not deploy. At that point, the flight crew had come out of the cockpit, she informed them that the R1 slide would not deploy, and directed passengers towards the L1 slide. The "A" FA tried the red inflation handle again, and this time the R1 slide deployed. She then directed passengers towards the R1 exit as well.

The "C" FA reported that she deployed the tail cone exit with no problems. She stated that there was no smoke or fire. She directed passengers to follow her. Once she reached the platform, she told them how to exit the airplane. At one point there were no passengers coming her way so she went back into the cabin and told the "B" FA to send passengers towards her exit.

AIRCRAFT INFORMATION

The airplane was equipped with a post-delivery Over Wing Heater wiring installation via retrofit (Douglas Service Bulletin MD80-30-78 Rev1 by EM 3010-01006 on November 18, 1998). There were no discrepancies with the installation. The Douglas Standard Wiring Practices (DSWPM) 20-00-06 and 20-10-01 for typical plastic tie strapping techniques were utilized. A review of the ARCTIC write-ups related to the Over Wing Heater System from September 2000, through August 2006, were reviewed with no significant findings.

During the post event airplane inspection, maintenance personnel found the wire bundle damaged in the mid-cargo pit ceiling at station 750 due to chafing and subsequent arcing of the Over Wing Heater Blanket system. They also found that wires in some bundles were damaged to the point of disconnection/separation, while other wire bundles sustained thermal melting to their outer insulation jacket.

Alaska Airlines engineering and Boeing determined that the arcing was likely due to the left and right Over Wing Heater Blanket wiring, wire assembly 7939200 run letter EAB, contacting the edge of the wire bundle bracket that attached to the second inboard lightning hole at station 750 in the mid-cargo pit ceiling on the left side. They also determined that vibration through normal airplane operation allowed the bracket to cut through the wire insulation and then contact was made to the wire conductor, and arcing occurred. The wires are 3-phase power feeders to the left and right Over Wing Heater installations (ref. MD80 WDM 30-11-03 sheet 4). Four twisted pairs and seven single conductor wires were burned and severed while several unrelated near-by bundles in run 7939609-513/route "DDK" sustained damage due to their proximity.

Alaska Airlines inspected their fleet of MD-80's (21 airplanes) and found only one other airplane with a wire bundle discrepancy. "N969AS found the following discrepancy during their inspection 'Insulated wire bundle at STA. 750 from mounting bracket and separated two wire bundles laying on each other at same station - no other defects noted.'"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As a result of this incident, Boeing identified one other operator, American Airlines, that had airplanes of a similar Over Wing Heater Blanket Installation configuration and notified them of the event. Boeing issued /A/ Service Bulletin MD80-30-071 regarding the inspection of the Over Wing Heater Blanket wiring and to adjust the wires according to DMS2109 material per SWP chapter 20. Due to the size of the American Airlines fleet, the SB compliance was identified as the next scheduled maintenance inspection for each airplane. The Safety Board issued Safety Accomplishment RDR-2007-003.

Abakaliki - A High Court in Abakaliki on Wednesday sentenced three men to death by hanging for stealing.


The condemned men Chukwuma Idenyi, Nwobodo Omebe and Monday Ekwe of Izzi and Abakaliki Local Government Areas dispossessed their victims the sum of N180, 925.

Delivering the judgment, the Judge, Justice Paul Elechi, held that the prosecutor proved his case beyond reasonable doubt.

Elechi, therefore, sentenced the accused persons to death by hanging.

NAN reports that the judgment was given after the parties adopted their written addresses.

In his argument before the judgment was given, the counsel to the defendants, Mr Vin Njoku, prayed the court to dismiss the matter.

Njoku argued that the prosecuting counsel and the complainant failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.

“There were contradictions of the amount by the complainant and the prosecutor when the matter was first reported to the police and thereafter taken to court,” he said.

Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Roy Ude argued that his client was robbed and disposed of the said amount contributed by his community for school projects.

“If the accused persons were not properly punished the trend would continue in the community and constitute threat to the peace and security of the people.

Charles Oputa, AKA Charly Boy is furious over claims by the press that he is gay and a member of a secret society

After the newspapers that had published stories that he is gay and a member of the Illuminati Secret Society had failed to retract their stories; controversial musician Charles Oputa (popularly known as Charly Boy) has given his lawyers “very firm instructions to do everything legally possible to make the people responsible for this accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

In a press statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday, Charly Boy said that he is taking the step to protect his name and brand from “ignominious extinction”.

“I have made a career of fighting for the rights of others and I will certainly not be shy in fighting for my own rights in a situation such as this,” Charly Boy, 60 said.

Last weekend, the National Mirror published stories from Danfo Express, a new publication, in which Mr. Oputa purportedly declared that he is gay and “not ashamed of being gay.”

In the article, Mr. Oputa was described as the second publicly known homosexual in Nigeria; the article also held that Charly Boy is the leader of the Illuminati in Nigeria.

Charly boy’s tweet after the story went viral on various websites and blogs; vehemently denied the claims the newspaper made. He also asked the National Mirror and another newspaper, the Daily Independent, to publicly retract the stories.

“Ever since these stories broke… I have been inundated with angry calls by my friends, admirers, business associates and family members who have expressed their disgust, disappointment and shock at the ‘confessions’ they have been reading about in different forums.

“My businesses have irreparably suffered and my family seriously mortified in the public eye.

“I have essentially become an object of ridicule worldwide as a result of these wicked lies being reported as fact.

“In fact, one of my daughters recently wrote me a heart-breaking letter on how this development has affected her emotionally to the point where she was even ashamed and scared of going out in public,” Charly Boy said.

Mr. Oputa further stated the newspapers refusal to remove the article from their websites has confirmed his suspicions that they were interested in increasing their circulation rather than reporting the truth.

“For the avoidance of any doubt, I want to assure Nigerians that I am not gay and I am not part of any organization called the ‘illuminati’ in any way shape or form,” Charly Boy said.

“I also categorically state that any reports of my alleged ‘confession’ to any newspaper is a figment of the imagination of my detractors, and a very insidious attempt to destroy my hard-earned reputation, and that of my Charly Boy brand, all in the mad rush of some newspapers, specifically the National Mirror and the Daily Independent, to increase their circulation through spurious and attention grabbing stories.”

My Electrician took my Mercedes Benz C-Class for repairs when one crazy driver rammed into the rear condemning it totally. When I took it to the mechanic, he told me that the back arms need to be changed that the cost is N45K, something told me not to believe this guy. I called my contact in the Mechanic Village which told me the cost is N28K, I eventually took it to another Mechanic who told me the cost is N13K, I ended up buying it for N14.5K because my model has a sensor. when you do the math, you'll see that I saved N30.5K just by haggling.

Lesson, try to know the cost of the spare parts of your vehicle,also know how your vehicle functions, so that you won't be told what is not by anybody.

You won't blame them, they are simple a reflection of a corrupt society. they are not the only one that cheats. What will you say about contractors that inflates and make use of fake and substandard products to execute projects? They are no better than the mechanics.

Spirit of Okija: So why are you trying to embarass the government?! You withdrew 200.04 naira.. How did you think the '.04' would be paid to you?! If they didnt give you that extra money now you would say the government has robbed you!

LOL! that extra sheet is about 0.0004 Kobo, I actually did the metric conversion

Spirit of Okija: Meanwhile, why you sef squeeze money like that?! Na microfinance bank you withdraw am from abi akawo bank?!

Nope Okija, I collected this money from one the New Gen bank, I didn't squeeze it.

It's amazing how what I posted as my observation can generate such commotion and insults in this thread. This is a naira note I withdraw from the bank, it's not photoshop, I don't even know what photoshop means. Ir show's how careless our financial regulators are

ZUBY77: All these heartless thieves do is change things everytime. Things that produces the same value and result. I dont have issues with the current 200 note, so why changing it? We have more pressing issues here. As i am writing this, there is no light to iron my cloths and Sanusi is channeling our money to new bills.

Sorry dude about the light.
My own headache is on how to use this note, how do I remove the extra note, and who is going to pay me for the labour

Fantastic design,
The reason for the protruded edge I guess is for easy withdrawal of the note from users wallet. Pickpockets will have a field day now.

If the note could just extend a little bite further, I'll have me 400 buck in one

THE Registrar and Chief Executive, Joint Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Dibu Ojerinde, on Wednesday, spoke of his experience of how ingenious Nigerians could be with examination malpractices.
Sharing his recent on-the-field experience with the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, during a visit on the latter, Ojerinde said “there is this particular case of a woman in Ikirun, Osun State. During the examination, a search was conducted on her and the scanner gave indication that there were foreign metal objects in her body.
“All entreaties to her to bring out what was on her failed, until a woman supervisor had to take her to a closet and UnCloth her, only to discover that a handset was prepared just like a pad in her private part.
“It was that bad. If we had not used the scanner, we couldn’t have detected it. Even at that, I am sure there were people that still went away with it.”
He also disclosed that in the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), two individuals who designed bathroom slippers that accommodated handsets were arrested.
He asked EFCC to offer assistance to the board in curbing myriad of malpractices plaguing the conduct of public examinations in Nigeria.
