A man has been left very shocked after the smartphone he stole started talking to him. According to 36-year-old Dennis Okello, he was left in a dazed state and has been very disturbed since the Samsung mobile phone he stole from someone started talking to him.

The Ugandan man said the phone was questioning him, asking him why he decided to steal it from its owner. Even though Okello said he removed the SIM card from the phone after he stole it, he can’t explain how the phone could talk to him.

Okello who admitted to stealing the phone in Lira town, Uganda, on Sunday, September 18, said the phone kept flashing different colorful light. Here’s what he said: “When I took the phone to my house at Blue Corner in Ojwina Division, Lira municipality, the phone started talking; asking me why I had taken it. As it was talking, the phone kept on flashing different colours.”

According to him, he fainted and when he woke up (just like in horror movies), he was naked and cold: “After the whole room lit up with very bright lights, I felt unconscious. When I regained my senses, I found myself naked and my clothes hanging on the wall and the phone still...Read more details : http://www.mcebisco.com/2016/09/very-shocking-man-steals-phone-then.html

AN elderly farmer has been reported to have been crushed to death during an accident involving one of the vehicles in the convoy of the Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, around Umutu, in Ukwuani Council Area of the state.

Our correspondent gathered on Wednesday that the accident happened on Friday when one of the buses in the governor’s convoy was returning from the Niger Delta Stakeholders’ Meeting, held at the Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun. It was hosted by Chief Edwin Clark.

Delta Governor Okowa

A source within the convoy told our correspondent that the bus carrying the pressmen ran into the man, who was said to be returning from his farm. He was said to have tried to dodge a pothole along the Agbor/Abraka expressway.

Some of the pressmen in the vehicle also sustained varying degrees of injuries, prompting them to almost lynch the driver, until Okowa personally intervened.

The governor later ordered that the victim, whose name could not be immediately obtained, be rushed to a hospital.

The journalists involved included some correspondents of the state-owned newspaper, The Pointer, DBS and other national print and electronic media. However, they were barred by the state government from divulging the details of the accident to newsmen.

It was gathered that the victim had earlier been rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Abraka, the home community of the Delta State University. Later, he was said to have been referred to Asaba for medical treatment, where he died.

Another source, who confirmed the development to our correspondent, refused to disclose the hospital where the victim died. He, however, said that the corpse had been deposited at a morgue in the state capital.

The driver of the 18-seater bus conveying the journalists was, as at Wednesday afternoon, still being detained at the police headquarters in Asaba, awaiting investigation on the incident.

A senior police officer at the Delta State Command confirmed the development to our correspondent but warned not to be quoted, based on the sensitivity of the report.

But when contacted, the spokesman for the Command, SP Celestina Kalu, could not immediately confirm the development. She promised to investigate and call back. However, she had yet to call back as of the time of filing this report.

However, our correspondent gathered that there was grumbling among those said to be part of the trip, as a result of Okowa’s failure to ask after the....READ MORE: http://www.mcebisco.com/2016/08/delta-governors-convoy-crushes-elderly.html

The news of President Muhammadu Buhari seeking emergency powers to reflate the economy went gaga on the social media, yesterday.

The emergency powers, according to President Buhari and his economic team will only last for one year.

According to the plan, the government is expected to send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for Executive orders to tackle the economic crisis.

The objectives of the action-plan on the economy, which is in recession, include
shoring up the value of the naira, creation of more jobs, boosting of foreign reserves, reviving the manufacturing sector and improving power.

Here are 7 things Nigerians need to know about the president’s request for emergency powers to stimulate the economy – by seeking to by-pass major extant laws that may stand in as bottlenecks.

1. More Funds for State Governments
The bill seeks to amend certain laws, such as the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act 2004.

The UBE Act states in section 11, sub-section 2, that “for any State to qualify for the federal government block grant pursuant to sub-section (1) of this section, such State shall contribute not less than 50% of the total cost of projects as its commitment in the execution of the project”.
osinbajo-buhari 75b

With most states cash-strapped, the bill seeks to overrule this section, and allow states access about N58 billion “stuck” in UBEC’s coffers.

If the bill sails through, interested states would have N58 billion to spend through this economic crisis.

Analysts believed the proposal to review the UBEC Laws will surely help to unlock the liquidity, which the associated spending will provide.

2. Boosting Foreign Reserves
Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves fell to an 11-year low on August 19, 2016, standing at $25.7billion.

With such depleting reserves, following a plunge in crude oil prices, the government is seeking to get emergency powers to sell and/or lease government property to raise $50 billion to shove the reserves.

3. End to Forex Crisis – Strengthening of Nation’s Currency
With reserves in good shape, it would become immediately easier for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to defend the naira, and shore up its value in the face of dwindling oil prices.

A vote for this bill by the national assembly, should lead to a stronger naira against the dollar, an end to forex scarcity, and some stimulation in the Nigerian economy.

4. Job Opportunities
According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics report for the past three quarters, at least 1.5 million Nigerians have become unemployed.

The president and his team promised employment, and had not effectively delivered on that.

However, with the new bill, funds will be allotted for many capital projects, which will in turn generate employment.

With states having access to the UBE fund as stated in the bill, the school feeding programme of this administration may kick off and create employment in Nigeria’s vibrant informal sector.

5. Reducing Bureaucracy
The Nigerian procurement act has been reported time and again as cumbersome, stalling the speed of implementation of government projects.

This bill seeks to also “support stimulus spending on critical sectors of the economy; make orders to favour local contractors/suppliers in contract awards”.

6. Flexible Visa Process
Nigeria is desperate for foreign investment; foreign portfolio investment had declined by 86 percent in the past year, while foreign direct investment had plummeted by over 50 percent.

Osinbajo, who confirmed this at a presidential policy dialogue in Lagos, said the government was working on policies aimed at reducing fiscal and forex imbalances, boosting dollar liquidity, lending to the real sector, and increasing “FDIs and FPI by sustaining enabling policies”.

The bill, according to reports, seeks “to embark on radical reforms in visa issuance at Nigeria’s consular offices and on arrival in the country”.

This visa process, similar to that of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ghana’s newly-adopted system, is to

Iya Rainbow in a new chat with Punch has talked about her career and life as a widow, it's quite an interesting read:

How did you get the stage name Iya Rainbow?
The name of my late husband’s group is Osumare Theatre and I was always referred to as Mama Osumare but there was a day I did a movie for the English-speaking section of the industry and the name of the film is The Vow. In the movie, robbers came to my house and killed my child and I was meant to react like anyone would in real life. I cried and tore my clothes. After the director yelled cut, I was still crying, so some Igbo boys on set came to ask why I was still crying. They wanted to call my name but could not pronounce Osumare, so I told them it meant rainbow in English. They were amazed and said they would be calling me Mama Rainbow which they felt was easier and that was how the name stuck.
