| Sports › Nigeria: Sports Ministry Has Refunded Mikel Obi's $4600 - NFF by McGibson(op): 3:08pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has stated that the $4600 Dream Team VI Captain Mikel Obi paid to avoid embarrassment at an hotel in Brazil has been refunded to him. According to NFF, the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports assured players and officials of the team that they will be given all that is due to them. Mikel Obi paid for the team in São Paulo on their way to Salvador, NFF said. "I am humbled by your efforts, your commitment, your patriotism. I want to assure you that your sacrifices will not be in vain. Aside whatever the NFF have for you, we will as much as possible make you happy, if only you will be patient with us. Today, with your performance, I am convinced that you will get that gold.” Minister Solomon Dalung said, addressing the team after their qualification for the semi finals. Responding, Captain Mikel Obi said: "We want to thank you for your fatherly support. In truth, there have been a lot of challenges, but every time we go onto the field, we forget about everything and make sure our fatherland comes first. We have done that so far and we will continue to do that, but we need more motivation. https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/nigeria-sports-ministry-has-refunded-mikel-obis-4600-nff.219539/ |
| Politics › APGA Lauds FG For Releasing IPOB Members, Begs For Nnamdi Kanu by McGibson(op): 1:33pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Dr. Victor Oye, has commended the Federal Government for granting freedom to some detained supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra. Oye in as statement yesterday described the government’s gesture as bold, patriotic and the surest way to peace and unity of Nigeria, which he said was non-negotiable. He, however, called on the government to release the acclaimed leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to enable him to go home and “take care of his young family”. One said: “I commend the Federal Government for the bold and patriotic step taken in the release of some of the members and supporters IPOB detained in Aba. “I thank all the men and women of goodwill who facilitated the release and urge them not to relent until absolute peace and harmony is achieved in Nigeria. “This magnanimity shown by the government is one of the shortest and surest ways to peace and unity of Nigeria, which is non-negotiable. “The government should also extend this gesture to Kanu, who has been in detention for a while.” Oye urged the Federal Government to open more avenues and channels of discussion with all agitating groups, who were protesting the political and economic structure of Nigeria for amicable resolution of issues. He also urged Nigerians to remain law-abiding and show unfettered respect for constituted authority and loyalty to Nigeria. http://dailypost.ng/2016/08/14/apga-lauds-fg-releasing-ipob-members-begs-nnamdi-kanu/?utm_source=dlvr.it_dp1&utm_medium=facebook 1 Like |

| Science/Technology › Tanzanian Rats With Nose For Trouble Train To Save Lives by McGibson(op): 9:49am On Aug 14, 2016 |
An African giant pouched rat sniffs for traces of landmine explosives at APOPO’s training facility in Morogoro, eastern Tanzania (AFP Photo/Carl De Souza) They have proven their worth in detecting landmines but Africa’s giant pouched rats have a lesser-known but equally critical vocation – saving lives by speeding up tuberculosis detection. It’s all in the nose, says the Belgian non-governmental organisation APOPO. Its founders, in 1997, saw potential for these abundant rodents with a sense of smell as keen as a dog’s but dismissed as pesty vermin — or a potential meal. “The biggest obstacle has been the negative perception that people have of the rat,” said APOPO director Christophe Cox, whose NGO has been based in Morogoro in Tanzania’s eastern highlands since 2000. Yet 83,000 landmines have been neutralised in Africa and Asia thanks to the rodents, APOPO says, saving countless lives where explosives still maim and kill up to 20,000 people — many of them children — each year. Eyebrows were also raised when the group — whose acronym stands for Anti-Personnel Landmines Detection Product Development — branched out in 2007 to use rats for TB detection, under contracts with local authorities. ‘Quite efficient’ “When I first heard about this technique I was a bit shocked, but it proved to be quite efficient, in fact more efficient than the microscopy we use,” said Daniel Magesa, a doctor at Pasada Upendano Clinic in the capital Dar es Salaam which now sends APOPO’s Morogoro base some 200 human sputum samples every month. Africa accounts for most of the million-plus people who die of TB each year and untreated carriers can infect dozens of others, making speedy detection essential. “The problem is the concentration of the TB in the samples we have. It is sometimes not concentrated enough for us to see it through the type of microscopy we use, even though it is very modern,” Dr. Magesa said. “With the lack of resources, qualifications and time, hospitals in the region only detect about 50 percent of TB cases,” said APOPO director Cox, a figure confirmed by Dr. Magesa. Today, more than 29 hospitals in Dar es Salaam and Morogoro send the Morogoro lab sputum samples. Another dozen clinics in the Mozambique capital Maputo send samples to an APOPO center opened in that country in 2013. The NGO says it has detected 10,000 missed TB cases, identified by workers like Oprah and Violet, whiskers bristling as they move along a row of test tubes. “The big advantage is how quick the rats are. They can go through 100 samples in about 20 minutes, and this is what a lab technician will take four days to do,” said Cox. During TB detection, rats are presented with a mix of negative and positive samples, the latter decontaminated for safety “but the smell remains”, said training director Haruni Ramadhan. When a rat identifies a “true” positive, it is rewarded with a banana-peanut butter mixture. “We can only reward the rat if we are certain it is right,” Ramadhan said. The negatives are not necessarily suspicious but become “suspect”, and subjected to further testing, if the rat reacts. “Thanks to the rats, we have increased (TB case) detection rates by 40 percent” in the participating clinics, said Cox — citing the same figure given by Dr. Magesa. APOPO now employs 222 rats — 108 for demining and 42 TB detectors. ‘A lot faster’ The others are breeders or still in training, like Jon Stewart and Stephen Hawking — year-old twins named for the US television star and the British scientist — who are hard at work, poking their noses in soil studded with deactivated mines. “In these boxes we have buried land mines, so the rats have to pass and sniff and whenever they find the smell of TNT … he has to scratch strongly,” said chief trainer Jared Mkumba. If they get it right, the instructor snaps a clicker, a signal that the rat can claim its reward, a bit of the banana-peanut butter concoction. After six to nine months’ training, the “HeroRATs”, as APOPO calls them, are sent to Mozambique, Angola and more recently Cambodia to comb former battle zones — but this is no suicide mission. At one to 1.5 kilogrammes (2.2 to 3.3 pounds), the rats are big enough to attach to a long, thin leash as they scan areas but light enough not to set off mines, which are cleared by human cohorts. Another plus is the African pouched rat’s “long” lifespan, six to eight years, its affinity for repetitive tasks and its small size, which makes it easy to house, transport and feed. “This is a lot faster than traditional methods, because rats only detect mines while metal detectors will beep for every single piece of scrap,” said Mkumba. But they will never entirely replace other methods, he said. “Rats are more efficient when on large minefields where mines are spread, but they are useless when there are lots of mines, for minebelts for example, because we know where they are.” The World Health Organization has not, so far, endorsed this TB testing but APOPO, funded mainly by donations, won’t stop there. Buoyed by its success, future ideas include trying out rats in detecting cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. http://m.guardian.ng/technology/tanzanian-rats-with-nose-for-trouble-train-to-save-lives/ |
| Crime › How 3 Nigerians Fraudulently Obtained $650,000 From Victims’ Credit Cards In US by McGibson(op): 8:42am On Aug 14, 2016 |
United States, US, financial crimes investigators have reportedly nabbed three Nigerians – Shalewa Olayinka, 53, Christy Tifase and Maxwell Ezenwa for their alleged connection in a large-scale credit card scheme that allegedly used two Southwest Houston businesses to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars. Daily mail is reporting that Olayinka had applied for 116 credit cards which he subsequently obtained from eight different financial institutions in 12 other people’s names. He allegedly applies for the credit card using a victim’s information and then steals the card out of his or her mailbox when the card arrives. According to investigators, the 53-year-old had a square card reader attached to his cell phone under the business name “Sleek Auto Sales” and would run the fraudulent credit cards in his southwest Houston apartment. The money was then deposited into his bank account. The two other suspects, said to be his accomplices, run a cartel which operates within the US and have allegedly stolen more than $650,000. Olayinka reportedly conspired with the two local business owners, Ezenwa, who owns Lace Warehouse and African Fashions on Bissonnet and Tifase who owns Lagos Island Café on Highway 6 South, a west African food restaurant. The cartel is accused of also running the credit cards for payments at their businesses. Investigators also revealed that the trio will be facing a charge of engaging in organized criminal activity, felony. http://dailypost.ng/2016/08/14/3-nigerians-fraudulently-obtained-650000-victims-credit-cards-us/?utm_source=dlvr.it_dp1&utm_medium=facebook |

| Politics › I Am A Militant – Oshiomhole Declares by McGibson(op): 9:53am On Aug 11, 2016 |
By Daily Post Staff on August 11, 2016 @dailypostngr Gov. Adams Oshiomhole says for any government to make progress, it must maintain a national minimum wage. Oshiomhole said this in Abuja on Wednesday during a forum tagged ‘The Podium’, organised by The Kukah Centre in collaboration with the Ford Foundation. The programme, which seeks an interface between the electorate and policy makers, had the theme: “From Activism to Political Power: The Challenges of Democratic Governance in Nigeria”. According to Oshiomhole, a labourer is worthy of his wages, meaning if an employer is owing, he is breaching a contract. “’This is where I’m different. I still insist any government who wants to be taken seriously must have a national minimum wage. “We must maintain a national minimum wage, look for ways to increase it; that is what I still advocate for.” Giving an informal account of his stewardship and why he carried out most of his actions, the governor said he stayed true to his activism years by not owing salaries. He explained that as a former factory worker himself, he understood the importance of wages and that was why he increased workers salaries in Edo by 38 per cent. “Activism is not synonymous with being progressive. I believe we should all be idealistic and not dismiss the possibility of an ideal society. “One man’s idealism is another man’s reality. Wages paid to people is not burden. “In Edo we increased it to 38 per cent and I’m proud to still pay before the last day of every month.” He explained that complaints about salaries from the state were mostly about the 18 months pension arrears he inherited and the inability of local governments to pay their staff. “We respect the autonomy of the Local Government but we insisted that if they cannot do environmental sanitation, waste management, grading rural roads, cleaning up the market at least you must pay the teachers’ salaries. “So I am not responsible for non-payment at that level. Non-payment of wages is a criminal breach in the law of contract. “You can pay daily, weekly, monthly but not in excess of 30 days, you are breaching the agreement.” Oshiomhole said as an activist he was in governance to know the ropes, know how to help people and counter concepts like god-fatherism in politics. “I have been militant, will remain a militant and retire a militant not with guns. I don’t burst pipelines but we must react to sayings like the ‘if you can’t beat them join them’.” The Chairman of the occasion, former Gov. Donald Duke of Rivers, said he advocates improvement in society. “Sadly politicians in our society are merely jobbers and budget padders. We advocate improvement and not change. “We had a violent change in 1966, so change is not necessarily the way to go. Improvements however makes things happen, develops societies and affects the people positively.” Bishop Mathew Kukah, the Convener of the event, said the essence of the forum was to design programmes that encourage debate and free exchange of ideas. “To serve as a mediating platform between the government, citizens and communities. “Also, to enhance the quality of leadership training at all levels both in the public and non-governmental sectors.” The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that activists from all sectors and relevant stakeholders attended the event.
