The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on Iran following its recent ballistic missile test.

The US Treasury Department announced the measures against 13 people and a dozen companies on Friday.

President Donald Trump tweeted earlier: "Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how 'kind' President Obama was to them. Not me!"
But Iran has said it will not yield to "useless" American threats from "an inexperienced person".

Some of the newly sanctioned groups are based in the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and China, and include members of the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The measures come a day after President Trump said "nothing is off the table" in dealing with Iran.

And this week, the US national security adviser, Michael Flynn, the administration was putting Iran "on notice" for its medium-range missile test.

The White House said the launch had violated a UN Security Council resolution proscribing missiles that could carry a nuclear device.
But Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted on Friday that the Islamic Republic was unmoved by US threats.
He said Iran had no intention of using its military against any country, except in self-defence.

"Will never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defence," Mr Zarif wrote.
On Thursday, a bipartisan group of more than a dozen US senators wrote to Mr Trump, urging "full enforcement of existing sanctions and the imposition of additional sanctions on Iran for its ballistic missile program".

"Iranian leaders must feel sufficient pressure to cease deeply destabilising activities, from sponsoring terrorist groups to continued testing of ballistic missiles," the group wrote.
The Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, applauded Mr Trump on his administration's "swift and decisive response", in a statement on Twitter.
Oil prices rose Friday morning, as markets factored in the announcement.

Saudi Arabia's senior military advisor, Brigadier General Ahmed al Assiri, meanwhile told the BBC it is time to change Iran's behaviour in the region.

Speaking in the Saudi capital Riyadh, he said Tehran's involvement in neighbouring countries such as Iraq, Syria, and Yemen must be stopped.

Gen Assiri, who advises the Saudi defence minister, said Iran must be "brought back to its borders".

Iran - long an arch-foe of Saudi Arabia, says its presence across the region is always at the request of the governments.

Also on Friday, Iran announced a ban against US wrestlers from competing at a championship in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah later this month.

The ban was in response to Mr Trump's executive order temporarily barring travel to the US for Iranian citizens, as well as citizens of six other majority-Muslim countries.

Alma Siller Contreras is a 59-year old Mexican woman who lives in Hermosillo, a town two-and-a-half hours south of the US border.


For as long as she can remember she has had a tourist visa for the US, a document Mexicans require if they want to visit their northern neighbours.

Ms Siller used her visa regularly to go on shopping trips and on weekend visits to see family living in Arizona, Las Vegas and New York.

However, last Monday, she went to the US consulate in her hometown to hand the document back.

"I've come to do something rather unusual. I want to return my visa," she announced to stunned consular staff.

Her decision dates back to last year, when she heard the then-US presidential candidate Donald Trump refer to Mexicans as rapists and criminals.
"I told my husband: 'That's not right, imagine if he becomes president'," she recalls. "If that happens I'll return my visa," she pledged at the time.

Taking action
On Monday, Ms Siller walked into the consulate and handed in her visa along with a handwritten letter in which she explained her decision.

"I'm returning my visa voluntarily because I'm offended by your new President Donald Trump's attitude towards my country, Mexico, and its people," she wrote.
"This is my way of protesting and expressing my support for my beloved country and its inhabitants," she added.

Ms Siller also announced that she would be requesting a new visa once Mr Trump was no longer in office.

"If I get it, great. If not it's fine too, my decision is made," she concluded.
After a family member posted a copy of Ms Siller's handwritten letter on Facebook she became somewhat of a celebrity in Mexico.
Many of her acquaintances told her they admired her for what she did.

Ms Siller says her was not an act of courage, as some of her friends had called it.
She also does not expect other Mexicans to do the same.

"Every person has to follow his or her own soul. I wouldn't ask anybody to return their visas, not even my children," she said.

Thorny relations
But she does have a message for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

One of Mr Trump's main promises during his electoral campaign was to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

Three days into his presidency, Mr Trump signed an executive order to start its construction and said that Mexico would pay for the wall.

In response, President Pena Nieto cancelled a state visit to Washington.
Ms Siller said she would like to see Mr Pena Nieto stand up to his US counterpart a bit more.

"He should be a bit more aggressive in defending us," she said.

I was here

I have come te realise no matter how hard you try to please some ladies, nothing can ever stop them from cheating on you. It will be better if a guy can identify these bad traits as well as how best to deal with such ladies whether to terminate the relationship abruptly or cope with it.

I will be opening our eyes with this write-up so that we will be familiar to these habits

1. She becomes your enemy when you are broke

Life is not a bed of roses, therefore, everyday cannot be lived like a christmas day but some ladies don’t even care. All they want is money coming out of your pocket each time they are in need, and failure to do so makes her becomes your enemy.

If a lady starts nagging and threatening to dump you because you didn’t fulfil your monetary promise, just know that there’s probability that she will be cheating on you in marriage in a bid to get that which she desires.

2. She flirts with several guys

A flirt will always be a flirt anytime any day. Don’t ever think marriage can change a lady that flirts except God delivers her from the act.

Some of them flirt with several guys and will deem it right saying she only flirts with them and doesn’t allow them get under her skirt. A lady with this ideology will no doubt be promiscuous when married.

3. She is not sexually satisfied with you

Just when you’re bleeping a lady and she reading a newspaper or picks her phone and start reading comments Naijaloaded, just know that you never find wife at all oooo.. To worsen the case, if the guy’s joystick is as small as that of “Lagbaja” and, she will definitely go to “Tamedo” to satisfy herself. Such a lady is very risky to marry.

4. She accepts ridiculous money and gifts from guys

I don’t know why some ladies have no standard that they can beg for ridiculous things from guys.. This habit only portrays how cheap these categories of ladies are, and I can’t but pity any guy that falls in their trap. Even if a dude that marries them is as righteous as Jesus Christ they will still cheat on him.

5. She receives calls every now and then

When you’re with a lady and her phone keeps ringing every 5mins it’s better you have a heart to heart talk with her otherwise, you might end up with a miserable marriage life.. That is the way it will it will continue when married. That was the reason why Toyin Aimakhu’s husband dumped her when he could no longer cope with such habit.

6. She is too secretive

When a lady is unnecessarily being secretive with a questionable character, then something is up her sleeves. It will be a big risk to marry such a lady otherwise you may have yourself to blame.

7. Her yansh no dey sit down for one place

Just when a lady is always found everywhere, bro you need to think twice before making that lifetime choice. She no dey use ear hear club house, pepper soup joint, birthday party and the likes.

8. She’s very happy to have various toasters

Guys, when a lady is very elated and prides herself based on the number of chairmen stalking her, then there’s high tendency for her to cheat in marriage.. When issues arise some of them will even be threatening you with break up and that they are only managing you cos they’ve got better guys toasting them.

ABUJA—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC explained, yesterday, why it has not arrested former President Goodluck Jonathan following startling revelations on how the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd) allegedly disbursed over $2.1 billion meant for arms purchase to various individuals.

Alarmed by the revelations, the National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has, however, asked Dr Jonathan to speak out.
This came as the anti-graft commission disclosed that one of the beneficiaries, the former Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Mr. Jafaru Isah had returned N100m out of the N170m he collected and was given administrative bail to source for the balance of N70m.
Another beneficiary, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and leader of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Chief Olu Falae however insisted that he would not refund the N100 million he collected from Chief Tony Anenih, which was said to have come from Dasuki.
Facts have also emerged how former Chairman of Board of Trustees, BoT of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih and Chief Olu Falae entered into a working relationship prior to the 2015 presidential election.
Explaining why the former president has not been arrested while speaking with online news publishers yesterday, in Lagos, the EFCC boss, Mr Ibrahim Magu said that no document has been traced to Jonathan giving any approval for the disbursement of the money for any purpose other than arms purchase.
He said that all those questioned so far in connection with the money were people who disbursed or collected it for reasons other than the purchase of arms and ammunition.
“All approvals by former president Jonathan did not mention that it was for political purposes.
Nigeria's President Jonathan speaks during an interview with ThomsonReuters in New York
All the memos approved by him were for the purchase of arms,” he said.
Speaking about Olisa Metuh, the EFCC boss revealed that the national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party said he would rather go on hunger strike than refund the N400 million he allegedly collected from Dasuki.
Maga also said that Patrick Akpobolokemi, a former boss of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, was recently re-arrested after new evidences of alleged embezzlement of N34.5 billion and another N600 million were linked to him.
The EFCC chairman stressed that the war against graft was not selective and assured Nigerians that his agency was not teleguided in the ongoing anti-corruption fight.
According to PDP, since former President Jonathan was still alive, he should come out and explain to Nigerians whether he authorized his former National Security Adviser to distribute money meant to fight Boko Haram into his campaign.
Addressing Journalists yesterday in Abuja, PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary Abdullahi Jalo said, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is alive, he should clarify whether he asked the National Security Adviser to distribute money meant to fight Boko Haram into his campaign.
According to Jalo, “Jonathan is alive, he should clarify whether he asked the National Security Adviser to distribute money meant to fight Boko Haram into his campaign. What is important for one to know is that former President Goodluck Jonathan is alive. Has he ever said go and take the money for arms meant for Boko Haram to campaign for me? Is there anytime that Jonathan asked for anything from either Dasuki to go and distribute this money meant for fighting Boko Haram for his campaign?
“As you all know, no single kobo will be spent by the federal government or former President Goodluck Jonathan without the Act of the National Assembly. Some people however decided to divert this money to something else.
“Darkness has now come to light, we have now discovered that it is not only PDP members who collected the money but those in APGA collected, Falae collected, Tanko Yakasai collected. They all collected the money under the guise that they are campaigning for Goodluck Jonathan.
“It is known to us that money meant for campaign are given to the national chairmen of various political parties. We had a dinner in the banquet hall where some billions were collected meant for campaign for Jonathan. That money was meant for campaign. Dangote, Otedola and others donated. So why would somebody tell us that you are taking money meant to fight Boko Haram, which is from an Act of the National Assembly. Any money appropriated is coming from consolidated account of the federal government and its usage must be meant for that”.
The PDP which also disowned the embattled National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh who has remained detained by the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said that as a party, it will not fight for his bail and others who have been alleged to be involved in the arms deal scam because they did that on personal levels and not on the platform of the party.
According to Jalo, “the issue of bail does not have anything to do with PDP. Let them tell us how much they have brought to PDP, to the national chairman and the money used for campaign, we want to know from them.
“PDP has nothing to do with individuals that used their companies to get money. PDP has no company, it is a political platform. There is PDP account and they did not even inform the PDP that they had received this money, they just went and slept with their families eating eggs and rice.”
Jalo who noted that public should not misconstrue the unfolding issues with that of the PDP, said that individuals that were presently involved, accessed public funds through their various private companies and not the PDP even though they were members of the party. He added that the Arms fund were an appropriation of the National Assembly to which the former President and Dasuki Sambo were aware of and were aware of the limit of using the funds other than what it was meant for.
The PDP deputy National Publicity Secretary said, “There are a lot of outcries against our members that have been taken to court because they received money from what we called Dasukigate or arms deal.
“The former acting National Chairman, Dr. Bello Haliru, who was taken to court is now on bail, he has a company Pam Proper and Property limited, he was given N600 million under a registered company of Corporate Affairs Commission, you can find out what the contract was meant for. Has he done what he was asked to do with the N600 million?
“Olisa Metuh’s company is Destral investment limited, he was given a job of N400 million. What has that got to do with PDP, you can bear me witness, when Olisa was accusing Lai Mohammed that he collected a contract from one of the states in the West, even Lai Mohammed took him to court, so now the hunter is now the hunted. Lai’s case has not been proved, Olisa is under investigation.
“Let us put the record straight. We want anyone of these people that have been accused whether in PDP, APGA or APC to come out and tell us that the money they collected, was given to PDP or their party. When he was given this money was he given the money to go and campaign for Jonathan, if yes let him show us the paper, let him present an evidence, but whoever was given this money should know that this money was not meant for that, it was meant for arms purchase.
“Thank God the party has kept quiet deliberately, maybe, because some have benefited. If we cannot clean the party now, the future is going to be bleak.
“If the Legal Adviser of PDP, rushes to go and bail out Olisa Metuh now he is doing the wrong thing, because he has to separate the party and Olisa as an individual.
Go, bring balance of N170m cash traced to you, EFCC tells Jafaru Isah
Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission confirmed on Monday that it had retrieved N100 million out of the N170 million traced to the account of the former Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Mr. Jafaru Isah.
The Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, confirmed the retrieval of the cash from Isah, adding that it was the partial refund that informed his administrative bail to enable him to go and source for the balance.
Magu, who made the disclosure in response to criticism that he quickly released the APC chieftain and close associate of President Buhari while holding onto Olisa Metuh of the opposition PDP, said that the refund was not a guaranty that the suspect would not be prosecuted for receiving public funds illegally.

Head coach of Congo national team, Claude Le Roy has said his side will ruin Nigeria's hopes of qualifying for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations when they visit Brazzaville for November 15 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The 66-year-old tactician insists his team is confident of
sealing their place in the Morocco 2015 and the best way to achieve that is to halt Nigeria's chances.
“I’m sure that we shall qualify for next year’s Nations Cup
because we are not going to lose at home to Nigeria," Le Roy told RFI. “I’m confident that we shall beat Nigeria, which will guarantee our place in next year’s tournament.
“The magic for us was beating Nigeria in Calabar, that result
was so crucial for us and we are not going to let our effort go in vain when Nigeria comes to Congo”, Le Roy declared.
Congo are three points ahead of Nigeria and a draw or win for Congo will keep their qualification hopes alive, while Nigeria must win to stay in contention for a chance to qualify going into the final round of qualifiers on November 19.
