More doppelgangers

Doppelganger is that someone who nearly or completely resembles another. Deprived from a German language literally meaning "Ghostly Double". Some people supersticiously or rightly believe that it is a death omen if one was ever to see their doppelganger. Here are some photos of some unrelated doppelganger who found their match. Have u found yours?

An audio report has emerged where a member of Nigerian militants Boko Haram says the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the group in April are in “good health” and are “well fed”.

In an interview with the BBC World Service radio, the man who described himself as a teacher and scholar within Boko Haram said the freedom of the girls could, however, only be achieved if President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration agreed to release its members.


“Yes, we want the Nigerian government to release our members. Today if the government releases our member, tomorrow or the next day, we promise you can see all of them. Sure,” the man is heard saying in a disguised voice as he requested to remain anonymous.

More than 200 schoolgirls were snatched from the north-eastern village of Chibok, near the Cameroon border, on 14 April.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau indicated in a video in May that he could release the girls in exchange for militant fighters in custody in Nigerian jails.

But Jonathan’s government has remained adamant there will be no negotiation that involves a swap.

The Islamist teacher said the girls were abducted for a specific reason and that was to pass a message across to the ruling government.

He said the girls were treated equally despite some of them refusing to convert into Islam.

‘There is no force in Islam’

“They don’t have a problem. Some of them believe in Islam, some of them say they will not convert into Islam. But… we treat them equally… beause Allah commands us to treat them equally…There is no force in Islam,” he said.

Reports indicate that more than 1 000 people have been killed by the militants this year alone.

President Jonathan insists he has a strategy to fight the radical sect. For security reasons he won’t disclose how.

Boko Haram, seen as the main security threat to Africa’s biggest economy and top oil producer, has killed thousands since launching an uprising in 2009. Source: http://9jaolofofo.com.ng/nigerian-kidnapped-girls-are-in-good-health-well-fed-boko-haram-member-reveals/

Ceasar1: From the threads you created, I clued that - You are getting married to an albino but your Mum doesn't like Her.. Right?

They said love supersedes all things! But one thing is also certain, we must take family 1st in all things we do,many people have gone against their parent (especially mums) wished to marry the girl they love and their wedding was a success while some have gone against their parent wishes and had a miserable life. Can u marry someone your mum doesn't like?

Onlinebizexpert: them be human being na

. Bros, u never answer the question self..

With due respect to all albinos , I am one of the people who believe this people are always segmented in the society. They hardly find a job, they struggle to have friends, even in the family, some parent treat them unfairly. Now I would like to hear nairalanders view of having an affair with them. This question goes to everyone , with all sincerity can you marry an albino?

Sixty-three women abducted by Bokoharam from Kummabza village in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State two weeks ago have escaped from their kidnappers.
The Federal Government denied the abduction but the Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, set up an inquiry into the kidnap.

However, security sources and eyewitnesses told journalists that 63 out of the 70 abducted women had escaped from captivity and made their way back home.

Some residents of the villages where the women were abducted told journalists that the women who looked unkempt returned home on Saturday.

One Adamu Suleiman, a member of the youth vigilante group told Punch

“I have just received an alert from my colleagues in Damboa area that about 63 of the abducted women and girls had made it back home. They took to their heels when their captors left them at the camp to go for a major operation.We don’t have the details of their escape yet, but we believe God gave them the opportunity at the time the insurgents came in their large numbers to attack Damboa on Friday.We still believe seven women could still be in the camp or perhaps something must have happened to them.”.

If you are proud of your school, rep it here and let's see who is who.

“Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past…” Karl Marx

Good people are hard to come by. The uncomfortable truth is that this world despises good people. Human beings have a natural instinct to either extinguish the spatter of lights that dot the almost tangible darkness around us, or cover it up. We are quick to kill the better people in our society or to drag them down into the mud with us. We are uncomfortable with the notion that some people can be good while we swim in our filth. We resent the notion of such arrogance. We don’t understand it, so we destroy it.

Abel, Noah, Lot, Jesus, Mohammed. Just a few names of men people either tried to kill or did kill for the simple fact that they we were better than the rest. In Jesus’ case, we even went as far as to accept the likelihood of a curse. It didn’t matter. All we wanted was for the man to be dead. The world hates good guys.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the flesh. It was about 3am and the man had just concluded a round of meetings and was almost to his last one. I wouldn’t have recognized the man because he walked so fast for a man his age. It was the bald head and glasses that gave him away. Here I was, only 26, and missing my bed so desperately. On the other hand, Asiwaju Tinubu, then 58, was wide awake and working himself to the ground. In that singular moment, I felt both shame for myself and deep reverence for the Former Senator and Governor. In those five seconds, I saw the man I wanted to be; hardworking, deft, decisive, agile, alert and wily. Today, I admire him ten times more than I did that morning, even though he has never said a word to me directly nor shaken my hand.

While it would be wrong to completely attribute the attainment of our fledging but deeply threatened democracy to the efforts of Asiwaju Tinubu alone, nobody has contributed more to the sustenance of that same democracy than he. It is easy to forget how much the man gave himself to the battle to dislodge the military junta because we are a people in love with amnesia. It is even easier to forget the many juicy temptations thrown at him before it became too dangerous for him to remain in Nigeria. It might be hard to forget the many times the man took the federal government to court just to ensure the establishment of a true federalism in our country. However, I refuse to allow us forget the role this man has played to ensure every Nigerian continues to enjoy his freedom to speech and equal justice. I will remind us all of the man’s one-man resistance to the forces of the federal government for years. I will recall to our memory the countless times the man appeared in the corner of his colleagues and mentees whose electoral mandates were in jeopardy. He expended time and resources for the actualization of our people’s electoral wishes in Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. He did it with awesome dedication. No one else stood their ground with him. He went it alone.

Only recently did Asiwaju begin to get the accolade he truly deserves, the most notable being THISDAY pronouncing him their “2013 man of the year” and describing him as “The man who re-built the Nigerian opposition.” I wonder if people know what it took for that to happened and it is time someone told the story.

Barely months into the 2012, Asiwaju Tinubu met up with General Muhammad Buhari and asked for a fresh start to the talks that were never concluded in the run-up to the 2011 elections. He shuttled many times between Lagos and Kaduna to hold meetings with General Buhari in his house and also met other close political aides. These took place in Abuja, Kaduna and Lagos.

After getting the General on board, it was time to the reach out to other party leaders-APGA, ANPP, and the CPC. He also had to convince senior members of his own party, the ACN, on the merits of discarding the party and taking on a more nationalist outlook. These meetings held late at night and into the early hours of the morning. Convincing other parties to subsume their structure into one party was not easy. But Tinubu didn’t stop there .He took on the task to help resolve internal crisis within the CPC and the ANPP. He acted as the glue that stuck all the parts together. He pleaded and cajoled to get people to work for the merger. He was driven by the need to build a virile opposition and a broader national political platform that can compete with the ruling PDP.

He took the boldest step of dissolving his party, the ACN into the APC; a party that was yet to be registered then. That was in April 2013 when at the convention he showed the way. His rousing and moving speech lifted spirits and set the tone for the sacrifices to be made. He said he could feel the storm of positive change coming to Nigeria and he rallied all to be part of that movement. He said as difficult as it is to let go of ACN, a party all worked to build, but that it was a sacrifice necessary to move Nigeria forward.

Part of his speech that day read thus:

“Join me today in voting to move our party into merger with the ANPP, CPC, other parties and organizations to form the All Progressives Congress, APC.

I assure you that the place we are going will be your house of political fulfillment. We shall have a meaningful voice in the APC. The principles of democracy, justice, visionary governance and liberty that shaped the ACN shall carry over into the APC. The new party will be as welcome a home as the ACN. It will just be a bigger house for a larger political family.

It shall be this family that saves Nigeria by bringing to the people the creative policies that promote wide prosperity, employment, infrastructural overhaul, education, health care, civil rights, peace, stability and justice.

Thus,vote with me to close the historic and noble chapter on the ACN so that we can begin a new and bigger book called the APC.

For us this is not a sad ending, it is but the beginning of a great beginning. Let us do what is right so that when history writes its account of this day, it shall write that we lived up to our moral duties by doing what the moment required.”

It was Asiwaju’s tireless work and dexterity that helped to see the party registered. When other fake APCs emerged, Tinubu took on the battle to expose the trick but also worked the legal system to ensure the party registration stood. He spent time, money and invested intellectual resources. This was while he was recovering from a knee surgery in far away London. He was always in constant touch with his allies like Buhari, Baba Akande, Yemi Osinbajo, Lawan Shuaibu, Yusuf Alli, Kashim Imam, Muiz Banire and several then ACN governors. Tinubu did a Yeoman’s job.

While all this happened, one wonders where the current pretenders scheming to control the fate of the APC were. Those who never lifted a finger to help the fledging party are suddenly interested in who leads it. They want a share of the spoils where they never pulled a bow in the battle.

Suddenly, they are possessed with a desire to dictate. When Asiwaju was busy trying to convince the PDP governors to join the party, they did no more than twiddle their thumbs and wait to see if the move would succeed or fail. It took a lot of work, persuasion, meetings, all led by Tinubu and assisted by a few. While this happened, no one accused Tinubu or Buhari were hijacking the party. They were working tirelessly and getting results. Others like Tom Ikimi and Ali Modu Sheriff hugged the sidelines waiting to rip from others’ sweat.

Recently, there have been some sponsored reports and opinions painting Tinubu as dictatorial, lacking internal democracy and so on. One even likened him to the Conniving Tortoise, saying he is a serial double-crosser and untrustworthy. However, all being done to trash his efforts will fail. History will stand up in his corner. Tinubu’s contributions to the establishment of the APC are monumental and without Tinubu, APC could never have been a reality.

Those seeking to run it now are welcome to remember this fact. They should resist the temptation to stick a knife in his back. Humanity has lost too many good people already. And according to John F. Kennedy, “History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.”

I am not a guy, but I have many male friends. Many. And I listen to them talk about their friends and one thing I have learnt is no guy tells his friend who he should date or shouldn’t date.

Girls do this every once in a while because that is how girls are and it is in a woman’s nature to be protective about people around her and sometimes, act like a mother hen.

So because nobody tells a man who to date, I will not be telling you who you should date but I will be giving you reasons why you should not date the types of women listed below. Gerrit? Let’s go.

-Miss Superficial: It never goes beyond getting hair done, nails done, facials done and stocking the closets for this type of woman. And when it goes beyond that, they want to discuss something that is never about the future, something about now that is not necessary and something very shallow. Miss superficial can be very pretty (they usually are, I mean why would you spend all the time getting nails and hair and face done without being fine?) but beyond pretty, what more does a man want? A lot! A whole lot more. If this is all she is bringing to the table, then maybe you shouldn’t be sitting there with her.

-Miss Selfish: when it is all about her and never about anybody else, then you should let her be all by herself. A selfish woman will not think of you at all, not when she is making decisions, not when she is thinking, not when she is breathing. Besides, love is not selfish, so when you have someone who is constantly thinking of her not you, then maybe she has no idea what love is or needs to learn what love is.

-Miss Goaless: my friend Dammy, who lives in the UK, keeps telling me how many (young) Nigerian women over there seem to be clueless about what they want from life and that some simply don’t have lives. I am always quick to correct him that it is not only in the UK that happens. It happens here too. It happens everywhere. There are many women out there who have no goals or worse, dreams. Some of them feel like they have the rest of their lives to decide. Except you are goaless as well, then there is no reason for you to be with this type of woman.

-Miss liar: If she lies, is never straight and is just too shady in her dealings, then there is no reason for you to be with this type of woman. People who lie never take the other person’s feeling into consideration. And they are usually capable of other terrible things. A woman who lies is not the best type to be with. Abi what happens to honesty is the best policy?

-Miss Playa: women who keep several relationships while lying to each one of them that they are the one usually have their reasons for being who they are. But I honestly have not seen the reason why anybody should be a playa. If your spec is the type of woman who shares her private part, oh well, here is your woman. But if all you want is honesty and a woman who would be true to you and just you, then run away from this type.

The list goes on and on and if I were to mention the type of women, men shouldn’t touch at all, then I would be typing several articles. There are more types you shouldn’t date and they are not all listed here, just know that whatever trait that makes you uncomfortable, you should watch and see if it is something you can compromise on. If you can’t, oh well, walk away now.

Though we are out of the world cup, but some Nigerian stars were there to cheer the Super Eagles before we lost out of the competition. Check out photos of the Skuki brothers, Toke Makinwa, Gbemi of Beatfm, Ayo Animashaun of Hiptv, and others below.

Human rights lawyer and social commentator, Barrister Kunle Fadipe was murdered at his residence at Harmony Estate near Karaole Estate, College Road in Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos.

According to reports, the estate where the late barrister lived was plunged into total darkness after power outage and the lawyer asked his son to go and turn on the generator. As his son made his way to the generator, a man armed with a knife accosted him and ordered him to take him to his father. As soon as the man got to Mr Fadipe, he stabbed him in the neck and back. His daughter who was at home immediately ran out of the house and called for help. Two security officials attached to the estate immediately ran there and were able to overpower the murderer. Continue..

The motive for the murder is still uncertain however the police has taken the killer into custody with a promise that the incident will be thoroughly investigated.
Late Mr Kunle Fadipe was a former member of the National Human Rights Commission and a member of the board of trustees of the justice advocacy group, Access to Justice. May his soul rest in peace…amen.

They are one of the most talked about love birds in the music industry and according to a recent report on CityPeople magazine, Tiwa Savage revealed how she and hubby Teebillz met, fell in love and are married today.
HOW THEY MET:
I met Tee Billz in Los Angeles, at Timaya's concert actually and I was at that time looking for a manager and he didn’t listen to my cd unfortunately. So when I saw him, I was a bit angry , I was like I dropped my songs  a few weeks ago and am the next big thing and you are missing out  and he was like wow calm down ,who are you? And then funny enough the next thing he said was, I am going to marry you.
On how he finally proposed years later, Tiwa said:
We had actually come back from Dubai a few days earlier and spent  a week there. I actually thought he was going to propose to me there. I was hoping he would propose while we were in Dubai, so day 1, day 2 day 3 all the way to the 7th day and nothing happened. I was a bit disappointed and was worried like ''Oh My God, is he ever going to propose?" 
But a few days later, on my birthday, he said to me he thinks we should go out with some friends so I was like hell no, I don’t want to go anywhere, I want to be at home, I want to reflect on my life (laughs). So my friend Elohor called me and said every body is waiting for you, just come out so I finally did then it happened.  
He went on his knees and I didn’t even wait to hear what he was saying  because every body was screaming so much. I don’t even know if he actually asked me to marry him but I just screamed yes (laughs) I actually want to thank him specially because he has been a blessing to me.

The National Conference on Thursday voted for the creation of 18 more states in the country. The creation of new states was one of the decisions taken by the delegates at their plenary while considering the report of the Committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government.

Apart from the 18 new states proposed, the conference said a separate state-yet-to-be named should be carved out of the South-East to bring the number of the states in the zone to six.

In creating a new state from the South-East geopolitical zone, the conference said the creation would correct the imbalance of the zone having the least number of states.

In the existing 36 states arrangement, each zone has six states with only the North-West having seven states.

The new states proposed by the conference are: Aba, to be carved out of the present Abia State; Katagum, from Bauchi State; Ijebu, from Ogun State; Amana, from former Sardauna Province; Apa, from Benue State; Anioma, from Delta State, Savannah, from Borno State; and Etiti, from South-East.

Others are Njaba/Anim, from Anambra and Imo states; Gurara, from Kaduna State; Ghari, from Kano State; Adada, New Oyo from Oyo State; Orachi, from Rivers State; Ogoja, from Cross River State; and Kainji, from Kebbi and Niger states.

Two other states, one each from the South-East and South-West zones, are also yet to be named.

It was agreed by the delegates that the 18 new states would be shared among the six zones in a manner that no zone would have more states than the other.

Though it was also agreed that states were free to have their constitutions, the request to change the name of Adamawa State to Gongola State was overwhelmingly rejected by the delegates.

The delegates also voted that the Presidency should rotate among the six geopolitical zones of the country.

However, a delegate, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, condemned the decision to create more states.

He said the action was at variance with the decisions and resolutions earlier taken by the conference on the need by government to cut cost.

“Having regard to the several resolutions of the National Conference on the need to reduce the cost of governance, I found the recommendation for the creation of additional 18 states rather contradictory,” Falana said.

I entered a shop and bought a pack with 3 CD’s, looked at them curiously for a while wondering how on earth I could use them.

The lady at the counter noticed my puzzlement and asked sincerely, ‘Have you ever used a cd? Do you know how to put it on?’‘

I blushed said,”No!”
The lady took one cd and opened it and wore it on her thumb as an example. “This is how you wear it. You have to make sure its tight!”

I was even more puzzled by this. I was just an innnocent young man. She noticed how shy and confused I was.”You must be a virgin,” she said teasingly. “Have you ever had sex?”

I said, “No!”

Then she looked around the shop; there was no one but just the 2 of us. She called me behind the counter, opened the door leading to the back-rooms and invited me in. She quickly locked the door, told me to hurry up coz “..we
don’t have time!”

She pulled her short skirt up, her p@nty down, opened her legs, and lay her back on a table. Then she told me to wear the cd on just like she had told me. I did, and she pulled me close, and oh yes there I was right deep inside her wet sweet flesh. But Oh My God no, in just 10 seconds inside it was just too much and I was like olalalalalalalalalala.

The lady feels it too, she feels the hot cremora inside her, and asks me, ”Did you put the condom on like I told you?”

“Yes I did. Just like you told me!” I replied. She says, ”Lets see!” I showed her. “Oh shit!” she screamed. “You are supposed to wear it on your P3N1S not on your THUMB, you dummy!”

Now she is 8months pregnant and I dont know wat to do………….

The late Nigerian pop gospel singer Kefee – Irikefe Don-Momoh nee Obareki, would be buried on Friday 11th July 2014 in her hometown – Okpara-Inland, Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State. The “Branama” singer was 34.

Her family disclosed the information to members of the Kefee Memorial Committee – a collection of artistes and entertainment personalities – who paid a condolence visit to the late singer’s parents in their Sapele, Delta State home on Wednesday 2nd July 2014.

On Thursday, her publicist in Lagos released a statement stating her husband, Teddy Don-Momoh who has been making arrangements to bring her body back from the U.S., would arrive the country first to receive her body before taking her down to Delta State for burial.

Teddy earlier indicated that his wife’s family had requested that she be buried in their hometown, with a celebratory service in Sapele afterwards and he was comfortable with the arrangement.

The condolence team who travelled to Sapele from Lagos included Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye, Annie Ibrahim, Gordons, Princess, Linda Etukudo, Rex Anighoro, Noah Momodu, Covenant and Chika 100%.

Sammie Okposo, who spoke on behalf of the committee, told Kefee’s family that the delegation was in Sapele to commiserate with them on their loss and harmonise the arrangements of the Kefee Memorial Committee with the preparations of her family.

He expressed his sadness to be visiting on such a mission but that the contributions of their daughter to the entertainment industry meant that entertainers in Nigeria wanted to celebrate and pay their last respects to one of their own.

“
“We will perform the last respects we owe our sister to the best of our abilities. We will let the world know that a queen was here and she will always be celebrated.

She brought peace, happiness and love to the world even in her passing and even though we are heartbroken, we will be comforted in the fact that God knows best and we cannot question him”, he said.

Anny, a gospel artiste and close friend of Kefee, spoke of how Kefee introduced her into the entertainment industry and said that she had stopped mourning but was now celebrating Kefee’s life.

Comedian Princess Dammy, said,

“
“Kefee was a huge gift put in a small container for all of us and we didn’t even know how powerful she was. She made such a huge impact in her short life that some men of 50 years have not achieved. You are a lucky man to have had her as your child,” she told Kefee’s father.

Nikki Laoye, a gospel artiste spoke of their friendship and further shared,

“
“Kefee was a fighter and unapologetically passionate about her music and her art. Till her last breath, she spent her time and energy sharing her message of love, strength and peace across the world.”

She promised the family that the entertainment industry would continue to support them and prayed for their continued good health, especially, in times like this.

Other members of the delegation spoke in the same vein and afterwards Kefee’s father, Andrew Obareki thanked them for the visit. He said the visit had reduced their grief and prayed that God would continue to guide and guard the entertainment industry so there will be no similar occurrences like the untimely death of his daughter.

“
“I stand on the authority of the word of God and use the key of David to shut the gates of death from the entertainment industry; there shall be no more sudden, tragic, premature and untimely deaths. “I’m glad Kefee touched the lives of many and her memory will continue to live on. Sometimes it’s not easy to give God thanks but we have no choice”, he said.

After a six-week break, the murder trial that has gripped South Africa and the world has resumed when Pistorius returned to the dock after a month of psychiatric tests. And according to a psychiatric panel and a psychologist, Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who is facing charges of murdering his girlfriend, is not mentally ill.



Reading from the psychologist report, one of two reports that said the star runner should be held criminally responsible, State Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said:

“Mr Pistorus did not suffer from a mental illness or defect that would have rendered him
criminally not responsible for the offence charged.”

The star sprinter has tried to argue that a “generalised anxiety disorder” contributed to him shooting dead his 29-year-old model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year. Oscar admits shooting Steenkamp with a 9mm pistol through a locked toilet door, but says it was a mistake as he thought she was an intruder coming to attack him in the dead of night.

The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, declared an indefinite strike and advised its members to stay away from work with effect from July 1, 2014.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja, President of the association, Dr Kayode Obembe, said that the Federal Government has failed to address the demands of the association and the association was forced to take the action in order to save the health care delivery system from anarchy that is imminent in the health sector.

The association is among other things demanding the stoppage of the appointment of non-doctors as directors and consultants.

They are also demanding the immediate passage of the National Health Bill, appointment of a Surgeon-General of the Federation, the payment of 100,000 Naira hazard allowance for medical doctors and the skipping of level 12 by medical and dental practitioners.

The association had earlier in the month addressed a news conference at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where it advised the Federal Government to urgently address its 24-point demand or be prepared for the indefinite strike with effect from July 1.
