Jokes EtcBank Robbery by sambas(op): 3:24pm On May 15, 2013
There was this robbery in Guangzhou , the
robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move,
money belongs to the state, life belongs to
you".
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.
This is called "Mind Changing Concept -->
Changing the conventional way of
thinking".
-------------------------------------------------
One lady lay on the table provocatively, the
robber shouted at her "Please be civilised!
This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only
on what you are trained to do!"
-------------------------------------------------
When the robbers got back, the younger
robber (MBA trained) told the older robber
(who is only primary school educated), "Big
bro, let's count how much we got", the older
robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so
much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell
us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience --> nowadays
experience is more important than paper
qualifications!"
-------------------------------------------------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told
the bank supervisor to call the police quickly.
The supervisor says "Wait, wait wait, let's put
the 5 million RMB we embezzled into the
amount the robbers robbed".
This is called "Swim with the tide -->
converting an unfavorable situation to your
advantage!"
-------------------------------------------------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is
a robbery every month".
This is called "Killing Boredom -->
Happiness is most important."
-------------------------------------------------
The next day, TV news reported that 100
million RMB was taken from the bank. The
robbers counted and counted and
counted, but they could only count 20
million RMB. The robbers were very angry and
complained "We risked our lives and only took
20 million RMB, the bank manager took 80
million RMB with a snap of his fingers. It looks
like it is better to be educated than to be a
thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as
gold !"
-------------------------------------------------
The bank manager was smiling and happy
because his loss in the CINOPEC shares are
now covered by this robbery.
This is called "Seizing the opportunity -->
daring to take risks!"
FamilyAn 18-year-old Boy Olanrewaju Kayode-aremu,who Stabbed His Father,to Death. by sambas(op): 6:46am On May 15, 2013
An 18-year-old boy Olanrewaju Kayode-Aremu,
who stabbed his father, Victor Kayode-Aremu,
to death.
Police authorities said stabbed his 46-year-old
father to death while the man was attempting
to enter his room. Olanrewaju is the first of
five children. He lived with his parents and
siblings in a duplex . He was enrolled in
University of Ilorin to study Geology in 2011
but was later asked to withdraw because he
had very poor grades.
Since he was not attending any school, he
started working with his father who was a civil
engineer. The arrangement his father made
with him was that he would be working with
him until he could get admission to another
school.
He was not happy about the arrangement and
around 10pm on that day, the whole family
had just had dinner and they were watching
television when their father received a
telephone call. He went upstairs and when he
got to the entrance of the room, Olanrewaju
appeared from nowhere with a kitchen knife.
He stabbed his father in the back, sides,
hands, legs over 10 times. The man, who was
screaming in pains, attracted the attention of
other members of the family who were
downstairs. When the mother came upstairs,
she found her son still stabbing her husband.
The presence of other children did not stop
him.
When she tried to save her husband,
Olanrewaju threatened to stab her if she came
close. The woman then went outside and
called on neighbours for help.
It took the intervention of neighbours to
overpower the 18-year-old and wrest the knife
from him.
The suspect, who was not remorseful, said he
killed his father because he was convinced that
his father did not love him.
He said he was not worried about his
predicament since he was too young to be
prosecuted.
Here are his words:
“The case is a very long story. The truth is that
my father never loved me and the only form
of care he showed me was paying my school
fees. I am just 18-years-old so I know I cannot
be prosecuted. I have no regrets for my
action,” he said.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Drogba Responds To Racist Abuse by sambas(op): 4:12pm On May 14, 2013
Didier Drogba has hit back at the racist abuse
he suffered from Fenerbahce fans in the
Istanbul derby against Galatasaray on Sunday.
The former Chelsea striker and fellow Ivorian
Emmanuel Eboue were subjected to monkey
chants from the crowd as Fener won the match
2-1.
It was also reported that a Fenerbahce fan
waved a banana towards him and team-mate
Eboue.
"You call me monkey but you cried when
Chelsea beat Fenerbahce in 2008, you called
me monkey but you jumped in front of your
screen when I won the Champions League,"
Drogba said on Galatasaray's Facebook page.
"You called me monkey but you got mad when
I became champion with Galatasaray and the
saddest thing is you called me monkey and
forgot that you jumped when my 'monkey'
brother scored twice yesterday... and you call
yourself a true fan? Check all the Galatasaray
fans comments and learn from them."
Pierre Webo, the Cameroon international,
scored both of Fener's goals.
On Monday, it was confirmed that a Fener fan
was killed on the way home from the game
after he was attacked by a group reported to
be Galatasaray fans.
Information from the Press Association was
used in this report.

SportsWhat We Learned: Aston Villa by sambas(op): 7:28am On May 12, 2013
An incredible day for Chelsea as we secure a
top 4 spot and will be playing in the
Champions League next season. Frank
Lampard’s double confirmed that and also,
confirmed his as Chelsea’s top goal scorer as
he surpassed Bobby Tambling’s record of 202
goals. A Chelsea legend and one of the best
midfielders in the Premier League’s history.
An energetic and action-packed match saw 2
red cards (Benteke and Ramires), 2 injuries
(Hazard and Terry) and a Chelsea comeback.
Scorers :
Stats :
What We Learned :
1. Frank Lampard – Chelsea legend
2. Lee Mason – questionable officiating
3. Demba Ba in horrible form
4. Aston Villa fans with some disgusting stuff
5. Top 4 secured
1. Frank Lampard – Chelsea legend:
203 goals from a midfielder. What a massive
achievement for Frank Lampard and in one
of the best circumstances possible. Down 1-0
with 10 men, then he scored 2 to secure CL
football for next season.
Since his move westwards across London in
2001, Frank has been an ever-present figure
in the blue of Chelsea, clocking over 600
starts to date. He has seen the Blues through
their meteoric rise to Premier League
champions; and has fought tooth and nail to
win the Champions League as well as the FA
Cup, League Cup and the Community Shield.
Whether he moves on or not, Frank will be
able to hold his head high, having been a key
figure in the best Chelsea side in history and
the 8 major trophies won by Frank at Chelsea
will stand as a testimony to his greatness.
2. Lee Mason – questionable officiating:
Not going to rant and rage about his
performance today, but he didn’t have the
greatest performance today.
Could have sent off Terry and Benteke (in
the first half). Ramires could have stayed on
the pitch, the Demba Ba goal could have
been given, few other calls (Weimann dive,
tackle by Ba, etc.). There were a lot of
things that Lee Mason didn’t call, that should
have been called and things that he did call,
that shouldn’t have been called. He could
have down a better job, that’s for sure.
Here’s the Demba Ba incident. Looks over
the line to me, not blaming the linesman for
it because of the bodies, but it shows how
much goal line technology is needed and it’s
coming to the EPL next season.
3. Demba Ba in horrible form:
Demba Ba missed a lot of good chances. His
movement wasn’t the best, he wasn’t passing
well, he wasn’t creating space for other
players to run into. He did a lot of things
wrong today, perhaps very unlucky to see his
effort not given (as it crossed the line).
Demba Ba hasn’t been playing well as of late,
at all. He’s been on and off since signing for
Chelsea. Whether it’s the Rafa Benitez squad
rotation that’s got him struggling or whether
it’s down to him – I’m not sure, but what I
am sure of, is that he’s playing quite bad. He
was horrendous today and I feel that had
Torres started, it could have been very
different. However, I wouldn’t want it any
different considering the outcome of the
match. Nonetheless, Demba Ba was poor
today and has been for some time. Torres
will start in the Europa League (since Ba is
cup-tied), but even if Ba wasn’t cup-tied, I
wouldn’t want him starting.
4. Aston Villa fans with some disgusting
stuff:
This is going to be somewhat short one, but I
want to get the point across and leave it at
that :
1) Throwing bottles at Ivanovic
2) Chanting “Let him die” at John Terry (with
Petrov in the stands)
3) Cheering as Terry tried to get up, but fell
back down
This is absolutely unacceptable. Other fans on
Twitter were very happy with Terry being
down (Spurs, Liverpool and United fans). It’s
disgusting. I don’t care what fan base it is
and what player it is, you don’t do that.
You also don’t throw bottles at an opposing
player who’s done NOTHING to you and is
minding his business. Nasty stuff.
Chanting “Let him die” at Terry while Stan
Petrov (who has acute leukemia – a life
threatening illness) is in the stands is also
very disgusting. Unacceptable stuff from
Aston Villa supporters.
The minority that did this deserve to be
banned and fined for their actions, but
remember that the small group of Villa fan’s
actions doesn’t mean all of their supporters
are bad.
5. Top 4 secured:
A very short one, but a very important one.
We’re going to be playing Champions League
football next season, for sure. This means
that Tottenham and Arsenal will battle it out
for the last spot.
Other Points:
1. Terry and Hazard hurt – missing EL final?
2. Does Lampard breaking record change his
contract status?

PoliticsHow We Survived Ambush By Militiamen. by sambas(op): 9:23am On May 10, 2013
**SHOCKING!**
Nasarawa Killings, 30 Policemen Dead, Others
Missing.
How We Survived Ambush By Militiamen.
**militiamen, dressed in black shirts and caps,
kept approaching amidst heavy gunfire as
bullets were not penetrating them.
**police officers were gathered in heaps and
set ablaze by the militiamen.
Ten policemen who survived Tuesday’s
onslaught from the Ombatse militia group in
Nasarawa State have attributed their survival
to luck.
Narrating their escape, one of the police
officers who spoke on behalf of nine other
survivors (names withheld) said their survival
was only by the grace of God as they were
outnumbered and overpowered by the
militiamen. He also disclosed that the
militiamen had prior knowledge of their
coming and laid siege on the narrow road
leading to the village, Alakyo, where they
were supposed to effect the arrest of their
leader and recover arms said to be in his
possession.
He said, “The road is narrow and they allowed
us into their midst before opening fire on us
at close range.” Efforts to return fire and scare
them into hiding ware futile as bullets were
not penetrating them, he said.
The militiamen, dressed in black shirts and
caps, kept approaching amidst heavy gunfire,
which forced their Hilux van, the last van on
the convoy, to turn back. “Due to the nature
of the road and ensuing gun duel, our men
could not turn back and 10 of us in our van
were able to manoeuvre our way out but not
without suffering bullet wounds,” he said.
The recuperating officer added that the driver
of their van was shot on the leg but, luckily
enough, one of them with him in front could
drive and immediately took over. Many of the
officers took to the bush but hugely
outnumbered by the militiamen who knew the
terrain better, they were pursued and killed.
“As soon as they killed an officer, his rifle was
taken off him.”
Meanwhile, the pervading atmosphere in
Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, is that of
fear, anxiety and hope as the families of the
slain policemen converged on the Dalhatu Araf
Specialist Hospital (DASH) to identify their
loved ones most of whom had been burnt
beyond recognition.
The Nasarawa State commissioner of police,
Mr Abayomi Akeremale, has confirmed that
the bodies of 30 policemen killed on Tuesday
by a militia group at Alakyo village in Lafia
had been recovered.
Report any suspicious persons and object to
the law enforcement agencies, as that will save
lives.

SportsSir Alex Considering Retirement - Report by sambas(op): 4:27am On May 08, 2013
Manchester United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson is reportedly ready to announce
his retirement from the Old Trafford
hotseat this week, according to The
Telegraph and The Times.
Ferguson, 71, is the longest-serving
manager in English football having been at
the United helm for a trophy-laden 27
years.
However, speculation about his possible
retirement has regularly appeared in recent
years and returned in the wake of the
Premier League champions' confirmation
that Ferguson requires surgery on his hip
this summer.
Those rumours gained momentum on
Tuesday, with a United golf day allegedly
overshadowed by speculation about the
Scot's future.
Both The Times and The Telegraph cite
sources close to the first-team squad saying
that the United players have been told to
ready themselves for a "significant
announcement" from their manager.
As of Tuesday night, the club had failed to
respond to requests to confirm or deny the
reports about Ferguson's future, although
New York Stock Exchange rules mean the
club will have to inform them of such a
significant development. If continued news
speculation does affect trading, United may
have to issue guidance to investors.
Bookmakers did close markets on
Ferguson's retirement, as well as David
Moyes being his immediate successor. It has
also been mooted, however, that any
announcement may just see a stand-in
installed until the 71-year-old recovers
from a July hip operation around the end of
August.
United have long been attempting to put a
framework in place so that the succession is
as smooth as possible - and avoids the chaos
of the post-Matt Busby era, when the
legendary manager moved into a director of
football role before later returning to take
the managerial reins.
A pre-Christmas board meeting led to an
understanding that Ferguson would not
leave until 2015, and Ferguson recently
stated that he will not be vacating his
position with the Red Devils anytime soon.
However, there have already been informal
meetings with potential future candidates.
Ferguson, David Gill and one of the Glazer
family met Pep Guardiola in New York in
October, before the Catalan agreed to take
over at Bayern Munich.
Despite Ferguson's personal enthusiasm
about the future appointment of Guardiola,
he is known to have been a huge admirer
of Moyes and feels he has many of the
qualities necessary to take over at Old
Trafford.
Jose Mourinho is not expected to be in the
frame, though, with a high-ranking Stamford
Bridge source telling ESPN that the the
Portuguese is "virtually certain" to replace
Rafael Benitez in the next two months, and
there is too little leverage room for United
to attempt any kind of late high-profile
coup. However, it is understood that Roman
Abramovich is balking at paying any buy-out
clause, which may leave an opening for
United.
Ferguson announced his intention to retire
in 2002 before changing his mind and going
on to win a further six Premier League
titles, with this year's championship crown
his 13th in all with the club. ;DManchester United manager Sir Alex

HealthHaving Sex While Sick Can Reduce A Fever Dueto The Sweat Produced. by sambas(op): 9:58pm On May 06, 2013
Having sex while sick can reduce a fever due
to the sweat produced.
Everyone knows that sex is enjoyable. More
than that, there are many other benefits to
sex beyond just the fact that it is fun. One is
that it can help with a fever. Sex works as a
natural antihistamine that combats fever and
even asthma.
There is a lengthy list of other health benefits
as well. Women’s bodies produce more
estrogen when they’re having sex making their
hair shinier and their skin softer. Sex also
burns calories and strengthens muscles.
It also sharpens senses and acts as a natural
painkiller. Levels of the hormone oxytocin rise
and release a deluge of endorphins. These
endorphins calm pain that results from any
number of maladies, from migraines to
arthritis.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)The Man Who Can Change The Outlook Ondefenders by sambas(op): 9:16am On May 06, 2013
Defenders are traditionally viewed as
warriors, not beautiful, but brave, and
fearless. When it is the strikers and
midfielders who steal the show, these
defenders are almost forgotten most of the
times. And then you will really have to praise
the kinds of Nesta, Maldini, Terry, Vidic,
Puyol, and many others who settled their
names into the minds of the viewers even
while playing from the defense. They
became symbols of ‘sacrifice’, ‘courage’, and
so on. Was there a ‘beautiful’ defender in the
history of football? Maybe Maicon and
Roberto Carlos, who played as wing backs,
but in the current Generation, there is still
hope! And yes, he too is a gifted Brazilian.
I am pretty sure that most of you might have
guessed whom I am very well gonna brag
about now, our very own Geezer, David Luiz.
Bought for 25m Euros + Nemanja Matic, in
the transfer window which was highlighted for
us purchasing Torres from Liverpool, it is
pretty amazing how David managed to
outshine many others even after being a
defender. I won’t lie that I was worried about
the hefty price we paid for him at first,
anyways, isn’t it rare for a team to shell out
more than 20m for a defender these days?
Little did I know how priceless it was going to
be to see the lad play for our club.
David made his debut against Liverpool, for a
few minutes, and already he had bullied
more than one Liverpool players off the ball.
In his first full debut, he conceded a penalty,
in an otherwise excellent display. And from
there on, there was little doubt over his
quality. He scored over Manchester United
with a beautiful volley which got thrills to
every Chelsea fan’s mind. And in his next full
season, he stood among our legendary five
of Cech, Terry, Lampsy, Ashley and Didier,
with his performances. He even rifled a
flawless penalty in the shootout against
Bayern Munich past Neuer. And it was said
that David Luiz played with an injury in the
finals, and refused to let Di Matteo substitute
him as he knew Chelsea had no other option
on the bench. That is a fine example of the
passion he has for the game, and the club.
David Luiz has won over the fans not only by
his displays on the field, but also through
social networking, through twitter. He has
never been shy to speak his mind out to his
fans, and we all love him for that.
What puts David Luiz a step ahead of most
defenders is not his defensive abilities, but
his ability to play offensive from the back,
though it is true that it often leaves us over
exposed at times. He has excellent vision to
pass, a flawless technique for long passes,
and also jaw dropping techniques to score
goals, either in open play or ‘that David Luiz’
technique, as it is commonly called these
days, for free kicks. While defending too, he
is offensive, he doesn’t like to stay back and
wait for the striker to make a move, instead
he rushes onto the sriker, forcing him to
make an error, or bully him off the ball.
These are not the normal characteristics of a
defender, which created doubts as to whether
he actually is more likely to end up being a
defensive midfielder sooner or later, a
position which he has handled superbly in
recent times.
As a human being, David Luiz is known well
for his childish behavior, yet caring and
pleasant. He has done his bit of charity,
spends time with his fans, and a smile, that
not only has won him fan girls, but also fan
boys. He didn’t shy off from openly
apologizing to Brentford youngster Jake
Reeves for his rather harsh tackle. And more
notably, he can be noted for accepting the
apology from rival striker Sergio Aguero for
his two footed lunge on Luiz, claiming that
he knows that it was just a few seconds of
rage by the usually timid Argentine.
All of these has made him a target for
Spanish giants Barcelona who looks upto him
as a long term replacement for an aging
Carles Puyol, and has offered upto 40m for
the defender,however I know that Chelsea
knows more than that, either ways, money
isn’t a big issue for our owner Roman
Abramovich, who is rather keen to make
David Luiz the captain of the club from the
next season onwards. And moreover, David
Luiz hismeslf is more interested in continuing
his Brazilian romance with Chelsea for longer
rather than moving onto anew club any time
sooner, and he showed this by signing a long
term contract recently.
Yes, ofcourse he is not yet perfect, his
personality isn’t, his technique isn’t, he can
be seen getting over physical with
oppositions, but whatever he does, he does
it with grace. Any other player seen laughing
after a kick by Rafael yesterday would be
called crazy, but when it is David Luiz, you
know that crazy just does not quite describe
him!

Christianity EtcTithing Bananas by sambas(op): 10:58pm On May 05, 2013
According to the scriptures, money is
not acceptable as tithe; it has to be
food-crops or livestock.
As far as many pastors are concerned,
the most important scripture of all is
not to be found in the word of Jesus.
Neither is it even in the New
Testament. That scripture says: “‘Bring
all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be food in my house, and
try me now in this,’ says the LORD of
hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the
windows of heaven and pour out for
you such blessing that there will not be
room enough to receive it.’” (Malachi
3:10).
This scripture is drummed repeatedly
into Christians on Sundays. However,
the only time Jesus mentioned tithing in
scripture, he pointed out that it was not
a weighty matter of the law. (Matthew
23:23). Hebrews says people only
receive tithes “according to the
law.” (Hebrews 7:5). It then insists
tithing (and everything else under the
law) has been annulled: “The former
regulation is set aside because it was
weak and useless.” (Hebrews 7:18-19).
Nevertheless, mercenary pastors
continue to insist on the payment of
tithes.
Latter-day Pharisees
Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for keeping
part instead of the whole law. (Matthew
23:23). That is what tithe-collecting
pastors do today. If we insist our
congregants must pay tithes, we must
also insist that they keep the rest of
the law. James says: “Whoever shall
keep the whole law, and yet stumble in
one point, he is guilty of all.” (James
2:10). Therefore, if we insist on
tithing, we should also refrain from
eating pork. We should stone
adulterers, execute homosexuals, kill
Sabbath violators and restore blood-
sacrifices.
Tithe-collecting pastors counter this by
maintaining the payment of tithes pre-
dated the law. Here Abraham is cited
as the cardinal example of someone
who paid tithes before the promulgation
of the Law of Moses, as did Jacob, his
grandson. However, such arguments
are disingenuous.
Before the law, tithing was at best an
example but not a commandment.
Moreover, pastors fail to mention that
Abraham only tithed once in his
lifetime. When he did, he did not even
tithe his own money: he tithed the
spoils of war. He gave ten percent of
the plunder he took when he rescued
Lot to Melchisedec, king of Salem. But
then he did not even keep the rest but
returned it (all ninety percent) to the
king of Sodom.
For his part, Jacob also tithed only
once. He did this in a “let’s make a
deal” arrangement he offered to God:
“Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If God will
be with me, and keep me in this way
that I am going, and give me bread to
eat and clothing to put on, so that I
come back to my father’s house in
peace, then the LORD shall be my
God. And this stone which I have set as
a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all
that you give me I will surely give a
tenth to you.’” (Genesis 28:20-22). This
kind of deal about accepting God only
under certain self-serving conditions
should certainly not be a term of
reference for any serious believer.
Lies upon lies
The first lie pastors tell Christians is
what some have referred to as “the
eleventh commandment:” “Thou shalt
pay thy tithes to thy local church.” But
the bible says no such thing. The
storehouse of Malachi was not a
church. It was a place where food was
kept.
Pastors hide from church-members the
fact that money was not acceptable as
tithe. The tithe was a tenth of the
seed and fruit of the land and of the
animals which ate of the land. (Leviticus
27:30-32). That is why God says: “Bring
all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be FOOD in my
house.” (Malachi 3:10). He does not
say “that there may be MONEY in my
house.” The food was used to feed the
Levites, the poor, widows, orphans and
strangers.
Pastors also conveniently fail to teach
the biblical tithe. The principles of
tithing were not laid down by Malachi.
They were laid down by Moses. The
study of Moses’ guidelines quickly
reveals that the biblical tithe has no
application whatsoever to Christians and
is mischievously violated by tithe-
collecting pastors today.
According to the Law of Moses, the
tithe was divided into three allocations.
The first year, it was given to the
Levite. The second year, it was given to
widows, orphans and the poor. The
third year, it was eaten in the company
of the faithful before the Lord as
thanksgiving for his faithfulness.
(Deuteronomy 14:22-28). In the
seventh year, there was no planting and
no reaping and therefore no tithing.
So the next time your pastor asks you
to pay tithe, ask him about the seventh-
year reprieve. Also ask him if you can
give your tithe to the orphanage, or
bring it as food items to be eaten in
church. Believe me; he will not agree
with you because it is your money he is
after.
Inapplicability of tithes
Tithing was only applicable to Jews and
to the land of Israel. When large
populations of Jews lived in Babylon,
Ammon, Moab, Egypt, and Syria, these
lands became tithe-able lands.
However, tithes were not acceptable
from strictly Gentile lands. So you
need to ask your pastor how come he is
collecting tithes in Nigeria.
Servants or slaves who worked on the
land did not tithe because the land did
not belong to them. Since only
agricultural and animal resources were
included, a fisherman gave no tithe of
his fisheries. Neither did a miner or a
carpenter pay tithes, nor anyone from
the various professional occupations. So
if you are not a farmer or a keeper of
livestock, tell your 419 pastor tithing is
biblically inapplicable to you.
Moreover, the only people authorised
to receive tithes were the Levites.
(Hebrews 7:5). So if your Pastor is a
“tithe-collector,” ask him if he happens
to be a Jew. Remind him that, even
though a Jew, Jesus could not receive
the tithe because he was not from the
tribe of Levi but from that of Judah.
The trick, of course, is for pastors today
to claim we are “Levites.” If your
pastor is one such dissembler, ask him
if he lives as a Levite. Remind him that
Levites had no land and did not have
private property. Ask him also how he
knows he is from the tribe of Levi,
which happens to be one of the lost
tribes of Israel. Point out to him that
even Jewish rabbis don’t claim to be
Levites today because all Jewish
genealogical records were lost with the
destruction of the Temple in AD 70,
ensuring that it is no longer possible to
ascertain the true identity of Levites.
Therefore, if Jews no longer tithe
because the Levites are a lost tribe,
how can Christian pastors collect tithes
when we are not even Jewish, how
much more Levites? If Jewish rabbis,
whose terms of reference remain the
Old Testament no longer collect tithes,
then pastors who insist Christians are
under a New Testament have no
business doing so.
The conclusion then is inescapable.
Every pastor who collects tithes is
nothing but “a thief and a
robber.” (John 10:1).

CelebritiesFemale Artiste, Gina,pays $85,000 Surgery Fee For Angelinajolie Lips by sambas(op): 9:31pm On May 03, 2013
Married Abuja Based Female Artiste, Gina,
Pays $85,000 Surgery Fee For Angelina
Jolie Lips
While some are crying for food, some have
more than enough to even throw to the bin.
One of the people who have more than
enough is a married Abuja based artist, Mrs.
Regina Adeola, popularly called Gina, who
allegedly said to have paid a whopping $
85,000 as surgery fee to have her lips
restructured to be like the American super
actress, Angelina Jolie’s.
With this new development, no doubt, the
lifestyle of entertainers in Nigeria, has
massively taken a new turn. These new
generation artistes imbibing all sorts of
habits from their fellow American counterpart
and the plastic surgery which was popularized
by American celebrities seems to be the in-
thing for these our Nigerian celebrities these
days.
However, whatever that is done under the
sun must always come to light, no matter
how perfectly orchestrated and concealed,
that is the case of the not too sexy singer.
Strong facts surfaced earlier this week,
indicating that the lips of Abuja Based Pop-tar
Mrs. Regina Adeola a.k.a. “African Jolie” are
Pure Fake!
The secret of her artificial lips was disclosed
by her intimate friend named Aisha, the two
were said to have been at loggerheads over
matter relating to men and Aisha spilled the
beans of Gina’s deal in Spain where she went
to do the lips surgery for $80,000 and
additional $5000 for ‘after surgery’,
maintenance and healing drugs.

PoliticsACN Rejects Preliminary Reports On Bagamassacre, by sambas(op): 8:44pm On May 02, 2013
ACN Rejects Preliminary Reports On Baga
Massacre, Demands Independent Investigation
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has
rejected the preliminary reports on the Baga
tragedy, submitted by the military high
command and NEMA, saying available,
verifiable evidence has shown that the
investigation that produced the reports was
everything but thorough.
In a statement issued in Lagos today y by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party therefore called for an
urgent and independent investigation into the
incidents of April 16th 2013 at Baga to
establish the truth, instead of an apparently
shoddy investigation that could only have
produced a convoluted report.
”Those who carried out that investigation
apparently discountenanced the fact that in
today’s world, nothing is hidden. Thanks to the
satellite imagery released by Human Rights
Watch on Wednesday, the world is now aware
of the massive devastation that occurred in
Baga. It is actually worse than what has been
reported!
”The satellite images support the conclusion by
the rights group that 2,275 buildings were
destroyed in the clashes. They also seem to
support the statements credited to the Senator
representing the area, Lawan Maina, who put
the death toll at 220.
”Contrast this to NEMA’s conclusion that far
less than 1,000 homes were destroyed, or the
military high command’s finding that only 36
people were killed, and it becomes glaring that
something is wrong somewhere.
”The Nigerian media, now the favourite
whipping boy of an increasingly edgy
administration, has come under fire for
reporting the massive killings and devastation.
But those criticizing the Nigerian media should
endeavour to follow the international media’s
reportage of the events in Baga to see that
the local media is not just crying wolf,” it said.
ACN said Nigeria would have been spared the
global opprobrium resulting from the Baga
tragedy, had the government and the military
carried out a more diligent investigation of the
incidents instead of acting in a defensive
manner and trivializing the destruction wrought
in Baga by saying most of the destroyed
houses were made of thatched roofs anyway,
as if it was a sin to live in such structures.
”In case the government has not seen the
report of Human Rights Watch on the Baga
tragedy, here is a quote from it: ‘The Nigerian
military has a duty to protect itself and the
population from Boko Haram attacks, but the
evidence indicates that it engaged more in
destruction than in protection…The glaring
discrepancies between the facts on the ground
and statements by senior military officials raise
concerns that they tried to cover up military
abuses’,”
The party said while the party will not
conclude that all the destruction and the
killings in Baga were carried out by soldiers,
the truth is that the military, an embodiment
of state power, bears more responsibility
anytime it is involved in a situation similar to
that of Baga, or Odi and Zaki Biam before it.
”There is no doubt that Boko Haram, with its
scorched earth tactics, may have engaged in
actions that put the lives of civilians in
jeopardy in Baga. But these insurgents have
no rules of engagement like the military, and
definitely do not value human lives.
Therefore, the military, in engaging the
insurgents in built-up areas, must strictly
adhere to its rules of engagement to avoid or
minimize the death of innocent civilians or
destruction of their property,” the party said.
It restated its earlier statement that the
killings in Baga may constitute crimes against
humanity, hence the International Criminal
Court (ICC), which opened a preliminary
investigation of the Boko Haram crisis last
year, must include the Baga tragedy in its
investigation. source nigerian civil right movement

The United States Government has reportedly

various human rights violations by Nigerian
security forces; particularly the military, which
is presently embroiled in a controversy over
the loss of civilian lives and destruction of
property in Baga town, Borno State during a

According to a report by THE WILL, the US
Government’s stance was made known in a

He said the move was in accordance with an
existing law that bars the United States from

PhonesDELSU Student Hacks Into Uduaghan’sphone by sambas(op): 6:37am On May 01, 2013
BY EMMA AMAIZE
WARRI— A 400-level medical student of
Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka,
in Delta State, has been arrested by the
police for allegedly hacking into
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s phone.
The student, who failed in pharmacology
and pathology course sent a text
message, purportedly from the
governor, to the Vice Chancellor, Prof
Eric Arubayi, requesting him to upgrade
his scores.
Vanguard gathered that enraged
Govenor Uduaghan asked the vice
chancellor to report the matter to the
police and ensure the student was
arrested when the matter was brought
to his knowledge, as he never sent such
message.
The affected student in a statement to
the police, however, denied the
allegation.
Investigation by Vanguard showed that
the matter was causing ripples in the
university, as the university authorities,
apparently responding to the request,
upgraded the score of the student in
pharmacology.
The poser by concerned stakeholders is:
Assuming, but not conceding that the
text message emanated from the
governor, should the vice chancellor
have altered the scores of a student
that failed his examination?”
This is, however, not the first time the
governor’s phone had been hacked into
by fraudsters. They had hacked into his
Airtel and MTN phone numbers in the
past as well as his email address.
The first text message to the vice
chancellor on July 24 reads: “My able
VC, Chief Tony Anenih called me in
respect of one boy that just wrote
pathology and pharmacology exam in
400 level Medicine. My able Prof, I
want you to ensure that boy passes, you
know I cannot afford to disappoint Chief
Tony Anenih. Am in a meeting. These
are the details. CHS/04/05/88406.”
Thinking that the text message was
actually from the governor, as it came
from the number with which he saved
the governor’s name, Uduaghan 1 in
his phone, Prof Arubayi replied, asking
for the student’s name to which the
hacker replied: “His name is Imala W.
Kelly. My able VC, all I want is the boy
to pass. Chief Tony Anenih has been
calling.”
DELSU vice chancellor, Prof Arubayi,
confirmed to Vanguard in his office,
Monday, that he, in fact, received the
said text message and contacted the
governor after the scores of students
who scored between 48-49 in
pharmacology was upgraded to 50 based
on standing regulation of the university,
“but he denied ever sending me such a
text message.”
He said the Academic Board of the
College of Health Sciences had met and
approved the scores in pathology, which
the student scored 46, and there was
nothing that could be done about it,
other than for the affected person to go
for a resit, adding: “That is what I
advised the governor.”
Prof Arubayi told Vanguard that it was
the Provost of the College of Sciences,
Dr. John Ohaju-Obodo, that drew his
attention about a week after that a text
message, purportedly from the
governor, appointing him chairman of a
juicy government committee was
received by him, but when he contacted
the governor, he told him it was a
scam.
He said he wasted no time when he
confirmed the truth from the governor
in summoning the student and handing
him over to the police for cyber crime.
“I am even surprised that the police
have not charged him to court, as far as
I am concerned, this is an EFCC case,”
he said.
He said the student was currently facing
a disciplinary panel for breach of
matriculation oath, but lamented that
he had not appeared before the panel.
A university source said the student had
been suspended, but as at Monday, he
was seen attending lectures and had
refused to vacate his room despite
orders to that effect from the
authorities.
Prof Arubayi laughed when told by
Vanguard that he was being accused of
examination malpractice, saying, “Did
the student give me money to change
his scores or is he a girl to say that she
is my girlfriend, what was done was
based on the regulation of the school,”
Deputy Vice Chancellor, Prof
Chukwuemeka Peter Aloamaka and
provost, Dr Ohaju –Obodo told
Vanguard that no unilateral decision was
taken by the vice chancellor, as the
appropriate organ looked into the
matter before upgrading the scores of
five to six students based on the
institution’s regulation. source vanguardngr.com
EducationNiger Orders CRK Back In Schools by sambas(op): 11:59am On Apr 30, 2013
Minna:- Niger state governor, Dr. Babangida
Aliyu has given approval for the immediate
recruitment of Christian Religious Teachers to
commence the teaching of the subject in all
public schools in the state.
Besides, Proprietors of all private schools in
the state have also been directed to re
introduce religious studies into their
curriculum.
The teaching of Christian religion had been
tactically suspended in all public schools in
the state during the last administration under
the guise that there were no qualified CRK
teachers in the state.
However, chairman of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) Niger state
chapter, Rev. Dauda Maigari during a
courtesy visit to the state governor with his
members raised the issue on the need to
recruit CRK teachers whom he said are
readily available to take up the
appointments.
Addressing journalists at the end of its
weekly Executive Council meeting in Minna,
the state Head of Service, Barrister Abass
Bello said the governor has graciously
approved the recruitment of 259 Christian
Religious knowledge teachers for all public
schools in the state.
The Head of service explained that the CRK
teachers will form part of the 6,000
unemployed graduates to be recruited
immediately out of the 17,000 graduates
that registered for the Graduate Engagement
Scheme.
Barrister Bello said out of the 6000 to be
employed, about 1000 of them would be
made to teach Christian and Islamic religious
knowledge as part of the steps taken by the
state government to bring back morals into
the youths.
“The state government has taken this step as
a deliberate way of restoring morality and
discipline back into the youths as a way of
denouncing crime and toeing the path of
peace,” he explained.
He said all the 6000 successful will undergo 3
months training during which the University
and Higher National Diploma holders will be
paid N10,000 monthly allowance while those
with Diploma and National Certificate in
Education (NCE) will also receive N8000
monthly before being formerly absorbed
under the civil service rules.
It was reliably gathered that most of the
6000 underlisted will be posted to various
schools to teach while others will be engaged
in agriculture.
“Both Christians and Muslims in the various
schools will be encouraged to study both
religion in order to have an insight of the
two religions as a way appreciating the
religions and one another in future,” the
Head of Service remarked.
According to him the students may not even
sit for either of the two papers in their WAEC
and NECO examinations but just make them
have the knowledge of the two religions.
EducationDon’t Tamper With JAMB, Jubril Aminuwarns FG by sambas(op): 11:49am On Apr 30, 2013
As the controversy over the scrapping of the
Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, rages, former Education Minister, Prof
Jubril Aminu, has warned the government
not to tamper with the agency in the interest
of the nation.
Aminu, who made his feelings known in an
exclusive interview with Vanguard, pointed
out that doing away with JAMB would create
a serious challenge to the nation’s tertiary
education system than imagined.
The former minister, who observed that the
problems that gave rise to the setting up of
JAMB were even more pronounced than they
were before the establishment of the
agency, made it clear that any attempt to
jettison the agency could thrown the nation’s
tertiary institutions’ admission process into
unmitigated chaos.
Aminu said,”Nobody should be talking about
scraping JAMB because that would mean the
end of the sanity into the admission process
in Nigeria. Look, if some people have
forgotten, JAMB was formed with serious
thinking with a view to removing the
challenges that confronted the admission
process in Nigeria.
“Among other things, it was to remove the
problem of tribalism, ethnicity and
favouritism that had become rampant in the
admission process and pave the way for a
standardised method of enrol lying students
into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
“It was not perfect but it has helped
immensely in setting a certain standard and
national leverage in the admission of
students into tertiary institutions in the
country and reduced undue pressure of
parents on the authorities because if your
ward does not pass UTME conducted by
JAMB, there is nothing you can do to get a
place for them.
“So, my candid advice to the government is
that no matter what it is, JAMB should not
be scrapped. If it is not performing
maximally, there are many options open to
the administration to make it to work better
and serve the Nigerian people rather than
scrapping it.
Aminu blamed the problems afflicting the
nation’s education system on poor funding
and poor managements and called for a
change of tactics so as to save the system
from collapse.
According to him, the population of students
in the education system far outweigh the
amount of money committed into funding
education by the government.
The former minister said it was wrong for
many tiers of government to toy with the
salaries and allowances of teachers and still
expect them to perform magic at the same
time.
“If we must get it right in the education
sector, the government must be willing to
commit commensurate funds to meet the
demands of that vital sector of the economy,”
he admonished. 247nigerianewsupdate.com
HealthNigeria Loses N132bn Annually To Malaria by sambas(op): 11:40am On Apr 30, 2013
Nigerian Medical Association has said Nigeria
loses N132bn to malaria annually through
treatment cost, prevention and loss of man-
hours.
The NMA President, Dr. Osahon Onabulele,
said this on Thursday on the occasion of the
World Malaria Day.
Onabulele, who stated this, in a statement,
also noted that the country accounted for a
quarter of all malaria cases in Africa.
He said, “We appeal for more strategic and
robust planning, effective partnership and
coordination with investment of more
resources into the campaign to eradicate
malaria.
“With continued commitment from states and
Federal Government as well as external
partners, we are convinced that a national
scale-up of malaria control interventions to
protect Nigerians and the world from malaria
is achievable.”
Onabulele also called for greater
commitment to research in order to develop
malaria vaccines, which, he added, “would
result in long term success in the global
campaign to defeat malaria”.
He added that there was a need for increased
development aid on national malaria control
programmes to ensure widespread population
access to life-saving and cost effective
interventions.
Calling for an increase in the distribution of
insecticide treated nets and the expansion of
the coverage of indoor residual spraying, the
NMA boss said there should be sustained
training of health workers and enlightenment
of Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Osun State Government has
directed public hospitals in the state to
conduct free malaria tests on members of
the public.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr
Temitope Ilori, said this in Osogbo, on
Thursday, at a ceremony to mark the Malaria
Day.
Ilori, who addressed a briefing, explained
that a survey from the Federal Ministry of
Health showed that malaria prevalence in the
state was the lowest in the country.
According to her, the 41.6 prevalence of
malaria infection in Osun reflected the state
government’s intervention in malaria
prevention and cure.
She noted that the Rauf Aregbesola
administration had spent over N200m for
malaria control in the first quarter of this
year.
Ilori said some of the strategies employed by
the state in controlling of malaria included
“prompt diagnosis, medical treatment,
distribution of treated nets and residual
spraying.”
Ilori said, “Nigeria bears up to 25 per cent of
malaria diseases in Africa, thus contributing
immensely to the one million lives lost
yearly on the continent.”
Also, the Ebonyi State Government said
about 96,000 residents of the state were
affected annually by malaria.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr.
Sunday Nwangele, stated this while briefing
reporters in Abakaliki.
Represented by the state Director, Hospital
Services Management Board in the ministry,
Dr. Gabriel Onwe, the commissioner said the
state government had invested huge funds in
the Roll Back Malaria Programme in order to
tackle the scourge effectively.
Nwangele noted that the scourge had
contributed to 60 per cent of patients
admitted to various hospitals across the state.
In Kogi State, wife of the governor, Hajia
Halima Wada, on Thursday distributed 1,565
treated nets to various communities to
commemorate the Malaria Day.
The exercise, she said would mark the
beginning of drastic reduction in deaths
caused by malaria, especially among women
and children.
Wada enjoined women and children to use
the net as available statistics showed that
malaria was responsible for 30 per cent of
deaths in children and 10 per cent of deaths
in pregnant women.
She urged the people to use the nets in
order to prevent malaria.
Minister of Health, Prof. Oyebuchi Chukwu,
represented by the Director in the ministry,
Mr. Moody Ayo, on the occasion commended
the state government for its support for the
initiative.
In a related development, the United
Cement Company Limited on Thursday gave
free malaria treatment to over 500 villagers
from Akwa-Ikot-Effanga in Akpabuyo Local
Government of Cross River State.
The treatment was part of the company’s
corporate social responsibility towards the
welfare of the host community as well as its
commitments to the health care of its
employees and other stakeholders.
The company also inaugurated a 37-member
peer educator programme that would
monitor the wellbeing of its workers and
their immediate family.
The Corporate Affairs Director of the cement
manufacturing company, Mr. Ita Ayi, said,
“UniCem has as deliberate policy, committed
to reducing the impact of malaria through
direct intervention as well as collaborate with
relevant institutions working to control
malaria to achieve its objective.” source: 247nigerianewsupdate.com

JAMB Just Released The Tactics they will Use
In Finding Out Those Involved In Exams
Malpractice in the Just concluded UTME
Exam!!!
According the JAMB, they stored the paper
types of each student that participated in the
just concluded UTME Exam in their
Database...
Unlike other years where students can just
change their paper type and go away with it,
This Year, JAMB will mark your papers
according to the paper type they stored in
their database for you...
This implies that if your original type was
"Paper Type U" and You changed to "Paper
Type I" They wont Mark your paper with they
type you provided rather they will mark your
paper according to paper type U...
just saw the news on a blog.
