How I escaped death fighting insurgency –Soldier
A Nigerian soldier fighting the Boko Haram
insurgency in Borno State has painted a picture of
the sterling efforts being made by Nigerian soldiers
in the north-east to overcome the terrorist group.
In this chat with Sunday Sun, the 38-year old John
Chukwu (not real names), explained how he had
escaped being killed many times by the Boko Haram
fighters. On one occasion, he explained: “They were
firing, but they couldn’t get me. I was just like 100
meters away from them. I was firing the RPG (Rocket
Propelled Grenade). If that weapon hits any wall, it
can bring the house down. I was firing the thing
until it got finished. Then the Boko Haram fighters
engaged me; to the extent that I walked from 20
meters up to 100 meters but they couldn’t get me.”
The soldier further assured that the war against
insurgency could be won a lot quicker if there was
more commitment by the government, the officers
and soldiers of the Nigerian Army.
*What is your rank in the Nigerian army?
I am a corporal.
Attached to which division?
Army Headquarters (AHQ).
*Which unit?
Sorry, I won’t say this.
*Apart from your posting to Borno, have you gone
on any other peacekeeping?
Yes, I was in Liberia and Sudan for 6 months, the du­
ration of peacekeeping is six months.
When were you posted to Borno?
I was among the first set of soldiers sent to
Maiduguri when the state of emergency was declared
there.
*When you arrived there, what was your initial
experience like? Did you feel prepared for the war
you went to fight?
When they drafted us, we didn’t even know exactly
what was happening. We were hearing of Boko
Haram, but we didn’t know exactly what they were
doing in Maiduguri.
You mean you were not briefed?
No, we did not know anything until we got to Maidu­
guri.
*Were you then surprised when you got there?
Initially, we were on top of the situation. That time,
wherever we came in contact with the Boko Haram
insurgents, we defeated them. That was during the
time of the Joint Taskforce (JTF). The first time, it
was just like a child’s play. But when we entered
there we started seeing the reality. We saw how
soldiers were being killed and there were bombings
everywhere. They deployed us to the bushes between
Nigeria and Cameroun.
*How long have you been there now?
I have spent a year and six months now. Currently, I
am still in Maiduguri.
*Why did you leave Maiduguri?
I got a pass to see my family.
*Do you feel motivated by the army? Apart from your
salary, what other incentives do you get?
Anyway, they try. They feed us sometimes twice a
day. Once in a while, they feed us three times a day.
*You sound as if the food is insufficient?
No, how can a human being feed twice a day? The
Federal Government budgeted N100,000 monthly for
each soldier in Maiduguri, but they are paying
soldiers N30,000. That is operational allowance.
Sometimes, they pay just N28,000. When you come
outside Maiduguri, people will be congratulating you
because they think that you have made it, but at the
end of the day, they just pay us peanuts.
*What explanation do they give you for the cut in
your allowances?
There is no explanation. That is why I am
complaining that the Army is very corrupt, even the
Federal Government as a whole. If you must com­
plain, you must do so through the same man that
cheated you. You have to pass through him to lay
your complaints. You cannot bypass him.
*You said you have been in combat with Boko
Haram insurgents. What do they look like?
Boko Haram fighters look like soldiers. When you see
them you will not know the difference between them
and soldiers.
*When you engage them, how do you distinguish
them from your colleagues?
The Boko Haram fighters are hardly fully kitted. You
may see one with canvas and another without
helmet. They hardly wear helmet because it is heavy.
If you don’t have endurance, you can’t wear it. In
the Army, there is standing order that everybody
must wear helmet whether good or bad. Boko Haram
fighters don’t like helmet. So, they will just cover
their heads with that their popular scarf; and wear
the army uniform.
*Do you feel that the government is sincere with the
war against the Boko Haram insurgents?
Mr. President is not sincere with the fight because if
you give someone money to buy weapon, you
should be able to know whether what the person
supplied is new or not. If you buy new Caterpillar
today, you will know that it is a new one. But all the
things we are using are old weapons that Alhaji
Shehu Shagari bought during his time in office. So,
when the government asks them to buy weapon,
they will go and repaint the old weapons and
present them as new ones. And the president will
take it like that.
*Do you think that the president will know that they
did not really buy new weapons?
He knows. There is no way the president will not
know that they didn’t buy new ones.
*If the weapons you use are outdated, does that
mean that Boko Haram has more sophisticated
weapons? What kind of weapons do they use?
Yes. They use Anti-Aircraft. You can use it to bring
down an aircraft from the sky. Boko Haram also uses
RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade). And people are
saying that we are fighting war in Maiduguri. And
truly we are fighting war, but there is no equipment.
Could you believe that there is only one jet operating
in Maiduguri?

In my over 20 years as a university teacher in the
United States, I had never been as awed and
disappointed as I was when I read the disjointed,
malicious and tendentious publication in a Nigerian
national daily of September 17, 2014 by a pseudo-
political cum pressure group by the name Abia
Patriots. They made a lot of ludicrous, outrageous,
subjective, pitiable and substantially unverifiable
claims with regard to the performance of the current
man in the saddle of leadership in my dear state, Abia,
Chief Dr. Sir T.A. Orji. The publication could at best be
seen as a poorly-handled PR stunt by a group fighting
hard to do the hatchet job for which it had been
settled.
Initially, I thought it was a mere theatrical display by a
band of social misfits masquerading as elders, until I
got to a point where they started making serious, but
bogus claims. I was thrown aback by the polemics they
spewed with infantile braggadocio and probably,
senility too, (since they claimed to be speaking on
behalf of some ‘masked’ Abia elders).
If the word ‘elders’ is interpreted in the context it was
used in the said publication, then it can be safely
concluded that Abia State does not have ‘responsible’
elders. Elders, for all I know, are men and women who
have come of age in terms of life’s experience and
sagacity – ready to offer wise counsels for the peace,
development and good governance of their people. In
fact, elders, in the community where I come from in
the northern part of Abia State, are men and women
that are held in awe, and have worked with dignity and
candour to protect their reputation and
accomplishments in life. They are also men and
women who speak the truth with brutality and finesse,
and do not dabble at vainglory and puerile rigmarole.
This is why it is a big deal in my place to behold elders
with reverence.
Suffice it to say that elders all over the world are
peacemakers, evil-fighters and bearers of good tidings.
Beneath their age is also mundane rationality, which is
spiced with celestial wisdom and illuminating and
penetrating mind. Above all, elders are usually above
board and do not pander to the whims of any political
overlords or desperadoes.
Pitifully, the so-called Abia Patriots made nonsense of
whatever ‘elders’ stand for by embarking on political
merry-go-round in such an obtrusive manner,
smacking of haughtiness and jaundiced emotionalism.
No wonder many of these elders from my clime are
ready to prostrate themselves even before idiots and
nonentities to pick up crumbs underneath the table.
What a way to fall! ........GET FULL STORY AT http://skyblings-entertainment..com.es/2014/09/the-so-called-abia-elders-and.html?m=1

A documentary about legendary musician Fela Kuti’s
life and politically-charged music has just been
released.
Finding Fela, Alex Gibney’s documentary, celebrates
the life of the visionary Nigerian musician and social
activist, Fela Kuti.
It comes as the latest in a posthumous outpouring
that is proving relentless. Albums are being re-
released, FELA!the musical is in full swing and,
perhaps most importantly, Fela’s self- proclaimed
Kalakuta Republic in the heart of Lagos has been
resurrected as the New Afrika Shrine.
Fela’s home/studio/nightclub was burned down by the
Nigerian army in response to his 1977 Zombie album,
the title song of which, performed here by the FELA!
band, features on Finding Fela as one of three tracks
that isn’t a Fela Kuti original.
A big question arises here: Can you respectfully edit a
Fela Kuti track for a compilation when the majority
weigh in at around 10 minutes? Somewhat tactfully,
shorter tracks such as Jeun Ko Ku and Viva Nigeria
have been included on the two-disc set.
Tracks that have been edited may indeed be frustrating
for fans, but an unobvious selection – the excellent
female-led Upside Down , for example – will probably
reset the balance by reliving some forgotten Afrobeat
favourites.
As an all-encompassing closer, Fela’s son Femi,
backed by the FELA! band, play Colonial Mentality live
at the New Afrika Shrine. As you’d hope, the energy is
infectious.
Finding Fela premieres in Nigeria next month at
Felabration (felabration.net) the 13th annual music and
arts festival celebrating the musical icon from October
13 to 19.

1. Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints.

Although twins share the same DNA, they do not share the same fingerprints. Fingerprints form between the sixth and thirteenth week of pregnancy. By that time, the twins have already separated and unique ridges are being created on their fingers.

2. Massachusetts has the highest rate of twins in the country.

4.5 out of every 100 live births in Massachusetts are twins, the highest rate in the country.

3. Twins interact with each other in the womb.

Research found that at 14 weeks, twins were seen reaching for each other. At 18 weeks, they touched each other more than they touched themselves.

4. Some twins make up their own language.

Twins use each other to communicate and develop speech patterns in the absence of an adult. It’s their way of practicing, because they’re around each other a lot of the time. Sadly this secret language disappears when they learn a real language.

5. Twins can have different dads.

Multiple fathers can happen if a woman releases two eggs instead of one, and has sex with two different men during a five day period. Sperm can live in the reproductive tract for that long, thus resulting in the possibility of twins having two fathers.

Music star MC Galaxy was physically assaulted by a
music promoter this September at a local club in
Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. Rarolae Blog got hold of
the video footage showing the incident. Unfortunately,

this video only shows what happened immediately
after MC Galaxy was assaulted by the promoter called
T. Spotlite and after police was called to the scene.
Here’s what’s they said caused the fight. Read below:-
MC Galaxy was billed to perform at a club, but when he
got there, he found there were less than 40 people at
the venue, because the event was supposedly poorly
promoted. After waiting for hours to perform, the
Sekem crooner decided to leave, and that was when
trouble started.
The promoter allegedly grabbed and threw MC Galaxy
from his car and punched him several times. He broke
his belt, jewelry and shouted obscenities at him until
the police arrived to escort MC Galaxy out of the
premises. The singer didn’t go to his hotel that day
because the promoter had allegedly threatened to
finish him. This is more MC Galaxy’s side of the story,
we haven’t heard the promoter’s side but it’s still
wrong to do this to an artist.

The Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has
reportedly placed a ban on YBNL Rising Star “Lil Kesh”
The Reason why this was done has not yet been
Revealed but Lil Kesh Tweeted the shocking News
some Mins ago..
See Tweet below:-

There has to be a reason why we like thrusting our face
into another’s.
A new study conducted among 900 men and women
has found that kissing plays a crucial role in human
courtship because it alerts us to “hidden biological
cues indicating the genetic fitness or desirability of a
potential mate”.
And here are the rules:
Check your breath
We know, discussing hygiene takes the punch out of
passion, but this is elementary. If your mouth smells
foul, you’ve lost round one even before you’ve begun.
Which is why you have toothbrushes, mouthwash
gargles and mint chewing gum. Keep your teeth, gums
and breath healthy. While this applies to both sexes,
it’s especially vital for men, because research has
proved that women depend on taste and smell in mate
evaluation.
Judge timing
Circumstance is a player, and context is key. Pick the
right moment. Is your partner keen to kiss you too?
Will they allow you into their personal space? It’s best
if you run an easy test. Deliver a friendly peck on her
neck or lift the hair out of her face. If she doesn’t
recoil, the signal’s green.
Focus on the job
There will always be distractions, but a good kisser is
one who shuts out the universe and stays in the
moment. Feel your breath mix with your partner’s. And
relax. Your lips can’t be tense. And keep the pressure
balanced. If it’s too light, you may come across as
lukewarm. If you push too hard, you are uncouth.
Use your imagination
Kissing is an important step in pre-intimacy, but you
needn’t make it obvious that it’s a means to an end. It
can’t be mechanical. And hit erogenous zones besides
the lips. For men, it varies from the nape of the neck
and back of knees to even nibbling of the ears. For the
ladies, a kiss on the inner thighs and a caress of the
wrists are equally turning on.
Match rhythm
Stellar kisses have gradations. They vary in spend and
pressure. They vary from gentle to passionate, with a
pause taken in between for breathing. React and reply
to your lover’s lip cues. Lead aggressively when they let
up; be the patient recipient when they are in the mood
to play choreographer. Remember to catch your
partner’s eye in a while. It can get annoying to have
someone pinch their eyelids shut each time they kiss. It
helps build an emotional connect.
Watch your hands
Use your hands. A kisser who moves nothing but the
lips comes across as frozen. But be aware of where
they are going. Clutching him/her by the waist close to
your groin suggests you mean business. Touching the
chin gently or fiddling with the other’s fingers is about
playfulness. Holding them firmly by the neck could
mean, “This one’s going to take a while”. Before you
allow them to stray anywhere else, make sure you are
in a position to take liberties. Ferociously clutching a
clump of hair isn’t permissible, unless it’s S&M you’ve
planned.
Debate tongue use
Some believe tongue use must end when you earn your
graduation degree, but there are those who swear by
its power. This one’s tricky and will take practice. No
one likes being suffocated with a tongue shoved down
the larynx, so make sure your tongue doesn’t exit your
mouth. Meeting the other at ‘gates’ is fine. The lick
can come to good use, especially when you run your
tongue over your lover’s slightly parted lips.

Edward Mordrake was reportedly the 19th century heir
to an English peerage. He supposedly had an extra
face on the back of his head, which could neither eat
nor speak, although it could laugh or cry. Edward
begged doctors to have his “demon head” removed,
because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to
him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He
committed suicide at the age of 23.
The true tale of Edward Mordake (Mordrake) has been
lost to history. His unusual case occurred early in
medical history and is referenced only in tales handed
down. The tale of his life has become so muddled
through the passage of time that no solid date of birth
or death is evident to modern researchers.
The story always begins the same way. Edward is said
be have been heir to one of the noblest families in
England.He was considered a bright and charming
man – a scholar, a musician and a young man in
possession of profound grace. He was said to be quite
handsome when viewed from the front – yet, on the
back of his head there was a second face, twisted and
evil.

In some versions of the story, the second face of
Edward is a beautiful girl.This is an impossibility as all
parasitic twins are of the same sex. Often it was said
that it possessed its own intelligence and was quite
malignant in its intentions.It has been said that the
eyes would follow spectators and its lips would ‘gibber’
relentlessly and silently. According to legend it would
smile and sneer as Edward wept over his
condition.While no voice was ever audible, Edward
swore that often he would be kept awake by the hateful
whispers of his ‘evil twin’.
The story has always concluded with young Edward
committing suicide at the age of twenty-three.The
method of his death also differs, sometimes poison
does him in and in other versions a bullet ‘between the
eyes of his devil-twin’ puts him out of his misery. In
both versions Edward leaves behind a letter requesting
that the ‘demon face’ be destroyed before his burial,
‘lest it continues its dreadful whisperings in my grave.’
Is the story of Edward true?The 1896 text Anomolies
and Curiosities of Medicinementions a version of the
story and Edward has been featured in many texts,
plays and even music as the Tom Waits song ‘Poor
Edward’ is based on the story. However, the tale was
considered false for quite some time. It was simply too
fantastic to believe and, obviously, many parts of the
story simply do not make medical sense – years of
retelling warped what was likely a very real occurrence.
Chang Tzu Ping was discovered in China in the late
70’s or early 80’s. In his 40′s, Chang had been born
with a second face consisting of a mouth, a malformed
tongue, several teeth, a patch of scalp, and the vestige
of other facial constructs. The throat and the lips of
the second face could not move independently, but the
mouth did reacted in tandem to Chang opening his.
Shortly after being discovered he was brought to the
United States to have the second face surgically
removed.The entire case was documented – including
the surgery – on the 80’s televison program ‘That’s
Incredible’ – and yet there exists almost no secondary
evidence of his existence. The operation was
considered successful and Chang likely went home to
his villiage to live the remainder of his life without his
‘devil face’.
It does not require a great leap of faith to conclude
that the tale of Edward is based on some nugget of
fact, perhaps he had something similar Chang’s
condition – mutated by storytellers over time.Consider
that the case of Chang Tzu Ping is relatively unknown
despite only occurring a few decades ago or the
strange tale of The Boy of Bengal These are indeed
very rare cases and the human mind has a tendency to
classify the unusual as impossible – it often helps us
sleep well at night.

BEYONCÉ ADMITS TO BEING A MEMBER OF THE ILLUMINATI Beyonce Member of the Illuminati In yesterday’s much-anticipated interview with Oprah, Beyoncé finally admitted she was a member of the New World Order, also known as the Illuminati. Rumors have swirled since the episode’s taping; many fans wondered why Oprah never questioned the star about her alleged Illuminati ties and commented that it might be due to Oprah’s own participation in Illuminati activities. Less than three seconds into the interview, Oprah turned to Beyoncé and said, “So, you know what I’m gonna say to you … the Illuminati.” From there, Bey delved into her beginnings with the group, their assistance in her rise to fame, and her recent promotion to the highest ranks of the order. Beyoncé says she finally came clean after feeling guilty over all the undue credit she’s been given. “People keep thinking I’m this magical ageless beauty, when really that’s the result of consuming all these blood sacrifices.” Oprah interjected, “You still work hard, and you’re raising a beautiful daughter.” Beyoncé remained critical: “People ask me how I juggled my career and pregnancy without understanding that reptilian pregnancies last only 2 months.” Oprah’s surprised reaction following this statement has been deemed inauthentic by fans. As godmother to Blue Ivy, she would have presumably been present at both the conception ritual and birth ceremony. The pinnacle of the interview was when Oprah solemnly asked if the Illuminati was behind the death of Whitney Houston. “Yes, that was us. I was there for that. But at the time I felt, in my heart, that that was what she would have wanted,” said Beyoncé. “She had a good run.” When it came time to discuss husband Jay-Z’s possible ties to the Illuminati, Beyoncé said, “That’s something I’d like to keep private. I don’t like to air my family affairs out in the open.” “You’re keeping something for yourself?” replied Oprah. “Yes, exactly.” Asked if she’d do anything differently looking back, Beyoncé says, “I can’t say so for sure. I’m a different person now. I became the queen that I am through this process and I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes.” Oprah recanted, “I’ve had some of my greatest revelations through my biggest failures.” The two then smiled at each other knowingly. The interview delved only briefly into current Illuminati plans. Oprah asked, “Do you think the Illuminati will succeed in destroying world governments and world economies?” Beyoncé smiled coyly, “We’ll just have to wait and find out.” At the end of the interview, Oprah held Beyoncé’s hand in hers and whispered, “Thank you for being so brave.” Then the two embraced and turned to a cheering audience while flashing the devil’s sign and smiling

In a poignant tribute to the star, Paul Walker’s younger brother Cody, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, has been asked by Fast & Furious 7 producers to step in and film the final scenes of the movie, which has been shutdown following the actor’s tragic passing on Nov. 30.
“Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul’s death,” a source close to the production
exclusively tells MailOnline.
The insider adds, “They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie
and that’s when they approached his nearly identical brother Cody.”

the former anti-Aparthgied icon, finally passed on after a protracted illness. A senior African National Congress (ANC) leader had confirmed to FrontiersNews, in South Africa, a short while ago.

The 95 years old Mandela, popularly known as Mandiba, has been in critical condition for months and had at several times been on life support.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
Brief Biography
Rolihlahla Mandela was born into the Madiba clan in Mvezo, Transkei, on July 18, 1918, to Nonqaphi Nosekeni and Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, principal counsellor to the Acting King of the Thembu people, Jongintaba Dalindyebo.
His father died when he was a child and the young Rolihlahla became a ward of Jongintaba at the Great Place in Mqhekezweni. Hearing the elder’s stories of his ancestor’s valour during the wars of resistance, he dreamed also of making his own contribution to the freedom struggle of his people.
He attended primary school in Qunu where his teacher Miss Mdingane gave him the name Nelson, in accordance with the custom to give all school children “Christian” names.
He completed his Junior Certificate at Clarkebury Boarding Institute and went on to Healdtown, a Wesleyan secondary school of some repute, where he matriculated.
Nelson Mandela began his studies for a Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University College of Fort Hare but did not complete the degree there as he was expelled for joining in a student protest. He completed his BA through the University of South Africa and went back to Fort Hare for his graduation in 1943.
On his return to the Great Place at Mkhekezweni the King was furious and said if he didn’t return to Fort Hare he would arrange wives for him and his cousin Justice. They ran away to Johannesburg instead arriving there in 1941. There he worked as a mine security officer and after meeting Walter Sisulu, an estate agent, who introduced him to Lazar Sidelsky. He then did his articles through the firm of attorneys Witkin Eidelman and Sidelsky.

Meanwhile he began studying for an LLB at the University of the Witwatersrand. By his own admission he was a poor student and left the university in 1948 without graduating. He only started studying again through the University of London and also did not complete that degree.
In 1989, while in the last months of his imprisonment, he obtained an LLB through the University of South Africa. He graduated in absentia at a ceremony in Cape Town.
Nelson Mandela, while increasingly politically involved from 1942, only joined the African National Congress in 1944 when he helped formed the ANC Youth League.
In 1944 he married Walter Sisulu’s cousin Evelyn Mase, a nurse. They had two sons Madiba Thembekile ‘Thembi’ and Makgatho and two daughters both called Makaziwe, the first of whom died in infancy. They effectively separated in 1955 and divorced in 1958.
Nelson Mandela rose through the ranks of the ANCYL and through its work the ANC adopted in 1949 a more radical mass-based policy, the Programme of Action.
In 1952 he was chosen at the National Volunteer-in-Chief of the Defiance Campaign with Maulvi Cachalia as his Deputy. This campaign of civil disobedience against six unjust laws was a joint programme between the ANC and the South African Indian Congress. He and 19 others were charged under the Suppression of Communism Act for their part in the campaign and sentenced to nine months hard labour suspended for two years.
A two-year diploma in law on top of his BA allowed Nelson Mandela to practice law and in August 1952 he and Oliver Tambo established South Africa’s first black law firm, Mandela and Tambo.
At the end of 1952 he was banned for the first time. As a restricted person he was only able to secretly watch as the Freedom Charter was adopted at Kliptown on 26 June 1955.
Nelson Mandela was arrested in a countrywide police swoop of 156 activists on 5 December 1955, which led to the 1956 Treason Trial. Men and women of all races found themselves in the dock in the marathon trial that only ended when the last 28 accused, including Mr. Mandela were acquitted on 29 March 1961.
On 21 March 1960 police killed 69 unarmed people in a protest at Sharpeville against the pass laws. This led to the country’s first state of emergency on 31 March and the banning of the ANC and the Pan Africanist Congress on 8 April. Nelson Mandela and his colleagues in the Treason Trial were among the thousands detained during the state of emergency.
During the trial on 14 June 1958 Nelson Mandela married a social worker Winnie Madikizela. They had two daughters Zenani and Zindziswa. The couple divorced in 1996.
Days before the end of the Treason Trial Nelson Mandela travelled to Pietermaritzburg to speak at the All-in Africa Conference, which resolved he should write to Prime Minister Verwoerd requesting a non-racial national convention, and to warn that should he not agree there would be a national strike against South Africa becoming a republic. As soon as he and his colleagues were acquitted in the Treason Trial Nelson Mandela went underground and began planning a national strike for 29, 30 and 31 March. In the face of a massive mobilization of state security the strike was called off early. In June 1961 he was asked to lead the armed struggle and helped to establish Umkhonto weSizwe (Spear of the Nation).
On 11 January 1962 using the adopted name David Motsamayi, Nelson Mandela left South Africa secretly. He travelled around Africa and visited England to gain support for the armed struggle. He received military training in Morocco and Ethiopia and returned to South Africa in July 1962. He was arrested in a police roadblock outside Howick on 5 August while returning from KwaZulu-Natal where he briefed ANC President Chief Albert Luthuli about his trip.
He was charged with leaving the country illegally and inciting workers to strike. He was convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment which he began serving in Pretoria Local Prison. On 27 May 1963 he was transferred to Robben Island and returned to Pretoria on 12 June. Within a month police raided a secret hide-out in Rivonia used by ANC and Communist Party activists and several of his comrades were arrested.
In October 1963 Nelson Mandela joined nine others on trial for sabotage in what became known as the Rivonia Trial. Facing the death penalty his words to the court at the end of his famous ‘Speech from the Dock’ on 20 April 1964 became immortalized:
“I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
On 11 June 1964 Nelson Mandela and seven other accused Walter Sisulu, Ahmed Kathrada, Govan Mbeki, Raymond Mhlaba, Denis Goldberg, Elias Motsoaledi and Andrew Mlangeni were convicted and the next day were sentenced to life imprisonment. Denis Goldberg was sent to Pretoria Prison because he was white while the others went to Robben Island.
Nelson Mandela’s mother died in 1968 and his eldest son Thembi in 1969. He was not allowed to attend their funerals.
On 31 March 1982 Nelson Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town with Sisulu, Mhlaba and Mlangeni. Kathrada joined them in October. When he returned to the prison in November 1985 after prostate surgery Nelson Mandela was held alone. Justice Minister Kobie Coetsee had visited him in hospital. Later Nelson Mandela initiated talks about an ultimate meeting between the apartheid government and the ANC.
In 1988 he was treated for Tuberculosis and was transferred on 7 December 1988 to a house at Victor Verster Prison near Paarl. He was released from its gates on Sunday 11 February 1990, nine days after the unbanning of the ANC and the PAC and nearly four months after the release of the remaining Rivonia comrades. Throughout his imprisonment he had rejected at least three conditional offers of release.
Nelson Mandela immersed himself into official talks to end white minority rule and in 1991 was elected ANC President to replace his ailing friend Oliver Tambo. In 1993 he and President FW de Klerk jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize and on 27 April 1994 he voted for the first time in his life.
On 10 May 1994 he was inaugurated South Africa’s first democratically elected President. On his 80th birthday in 1998 he married Graça Machel, his third wife.
True to his promise Nelson Mandela stepped down in 1999 after one term as President. He continued to work with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund he set up in 1995 and established the Nelson Mandela Foundation and The Mandela-Rhodes Foundation.
In April 2007 his grandson Mandla Mandela became head of the Mvezo Traditional Council at a ceremony at the Mvezo Great Place.
Nelson Mandela never wavered in his devotion to democracy, equality and learning. Despite terrible provocation, he never answered racism with racism. His life has been an inspiration to all who are oppressed and deprived, to all who are opposed to oppression and deprivation.

He won the following awards during his life time: Nobel Peace Prize, Bharat Ratna, Time's Person of the Year,Sakharov Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Congressional Gold Medal, Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, Gandhi Peace Prize, Philadelphia Liberty Medal, Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, Lenin Peace Prize, Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, Nishan-e-Pakistan, Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights, Ambassador of Conscience Award,International Simón Bolívar Prize, United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights, Order of the Nile, World Citizenship Award, U Thant Peace Award, Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize, Isitwalandwe Medal,Indira Gandhi Award for International Justice and Harmony, Freedom of the City of Aberdeen, Bruno Kreisky Award, UNESCO Peace Prize,Carter–Menil Human Rights Prize, Bishop John T.

thanks for the news and d link

A close family friend of Feyi, son of late Chief Agagu, who is one of the survivors of the ill fated Associated Airlines flight, told Vanguard that he (Feyi) was initially reluctant to enter the plane after seeing how old it looked. (The exact plane pictured right). He and others survived basically by sitting at the back of the plane. Below is what a family insider Feyi spoke to said;

“The young man said that once they got to the tarmac before boarding and once he sighted the plane, what struck him was the seemingly very old look of the plane. Feyi said he didn’t like the looks of the plane. He also said but for the importance and significance of the trip, his inner sense didn’t feel comfortable boarding the plane.

"In fact, Feyi said he told another survivor, Femi Akinsanya, that the plane looked too old and he didn’t feel like boarding. But Feyi said he was told not to get himself worked up needlessly since this was not going to be his first time aboard a plane neither would this be the first old-looking plane that he would board. That was how he said he boarded the plane”.

“Feyi recounted how he and Femi Akinsanya boarded the plane and moved straight to the back end to take up seats. Why Feyi chose the back seat”, the source said, “was more a function of his state of mind about the state of the plane rather than a preference for taking a back seat.

i woonda y tonto was not listed

Just few weeks days back, Notjustok.com released the first edition of their Top 10 Hottest Rappers in Nigeria (now dubbed 'The List') which went on to cause feuds between some rappers in Nigeria notably Sinzu and Godwon.

Well although this is the 3rd edition, Jaguda.com has released its annual 15 Hottest Women In Nigeria Entertainment, 2013. I just hope this doesn't cause the same kinda rift between our female celebrities.

According to Jaguda.com, Hot is pretty much a summation of the looks, style, sex appeal, confidence, charisma and just general overall packaging of these incredibly gorgeous women.


See the list and their photos in no particular order after the jump and tell us what you think about the list:


AGBANI DAREGO
12 years have past since this beauty became the first black Miss World (2001), and she is still able to hold her own when it comes to complete true beauty. In addition to her ever present grace, and beauty she’s upgraded even more and transformed into an even more elegant and classier version of herself. Not saying she wasn’t before, but while others might take a step down, she’s taken a step up.
Simply put, she’s like fine wine… You know the rest.




Genevieve Nnaji
It’s almost as if Genevieve has completely refused to age. And you can argue that she gets hotter with age, but either way you look at it, you can put her on a line up with girls 10 years younger than her, and she’ll still be in the cream of the crop. No agism here people. Admit it, you either envy Genevieve’s looks or you want your wife to age like her.



Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
They don’t call her Omosexy for nothing. Over the past year, Omotola has been buzzing all over the place. Red carpet both home and abroad, movies, International TV appearances and much more. One thing you gotta love Omotalo for is her figure, and more importantly her ability to maintain that figure as the years have gone by, and with 4 kids. Anyone will tell you it’s not beans.
Along with her A+ acting, her cute face, Omotola’s other selling point gotta be those curves. Na die finally!

__________________________________________________________________________________



Toolz
You can call her the second coming of Omotola, with the pretty face and curvy figure. Not too much has changed from last year to this year, and Toolz still has a shape that will make a grown man cry real tears of joy.
The brains is still there, and the packaging just keeps on upgrading as she’s hosting ndaniTV’s The Juice along with being one of the most listened to On Air Personalities at 99.9 The Beat FM. Come rain or sunshine she’s still one of the hottest in Nigeria.

__________________________________________________________________________________



Oluchi
International super model has been the pride of the Nigerian model industry for over a decade and in bringing the Next Top Model series to Africa she’s back in the buzz. From magazine covers to runways, Oluchi is still the epitome of the word sexy, and when you think that she’s had kids also, it’s even more impressive that this sexiness has just refused to leave her bones. It’s just in her.

__________________________________________________________________________________



Muna
No offense to all the recent MBGN winners, but Muna puts them to shame, especially when you consider how long ago she won it (2007). But it’s not just about the looks with her. Her style, presentation and confidence is unrivaled really.
Some things are just constant in life. The sky is blue, the world will end, and Muna will stay hot until she doesn’t want again, and maybe after that sef. It’s just something you can’t argue with.

__________________________________________________________________________________



Rita Dominic
Rita Dominic has had somewhat of a revival over the past year. She’s been more on the scene, her style has hit top notch, and she oozes some sort of cougar like appeal to her, and I say cougar only because we know she’s older (38 I think). But based on just looks, you might not be able to tell. Her skin is damn near flawless and those eyes can make someone dash their inheritance.
The main thing that put Rita on this list though is that this woman’s wardrobe is on fire. Anyone who follows her on social media will tell you that Rita dey dress die. From the hair do, to the clothes, and shoes, everything is always on point and perfect for the occasion.

Tiwa Savage
Miss Savage if you nasty. Oh wait… Mrs Savage-Billz. Sorry Oga. Tiwa Savage and sexy go hand in hand, like Rice & Stew, Aki & Paw-Paw, Beans & Dodo. Ok you get the point. Tiwa Savage combines beauty and talent so well it’s almost sickening.
In a very weird way also, Tiwa Savage is one of the few ladies that can switch up the look and persona on any given occasion and still look dazzling. Good girl innocent look? Check. Bad girl I’ll tear your shirt look? Check. Let’s go for my aunty’s 50th birthday look? Check. She makes it too easy.

__________________________________________________________________________________



Nse Ikpe-Etim
Everything about this nollywood diva oozes sex appeal. From her figure, to skin tone, to her lips, everything about her is completely sexy.
You can’t deny her talents at all, and her fashion sense trumps a lot of other women in the industry, so her whole package really just makes her extremely attractive and a lot of people can’t pick just one reason why she’s that attractive. She’s just sexy. In every sense of the word.
__________________________________________________________________________________



Eku Edewor
The Studio 53 TV presenter is an instant eye grabber. Her flawless and silky skin, innocent look, and classy style makes everyone want to watch her on TV. What’s even more attractive is her sense of humor. It’s not every time you see someone as beautiful as she is have a great sense of humor. The default is to expect someone that will have their nose up in the air, but from what we’ve observed that’s not Eku at all.
-





Chidinma
Ms Kedike lori speaker! Chidinma has continued to ooze out high doses of sexy and swag (sorry I had to use it) over the past year, and she’s a long way removed from the “innocent” looking girl that won Project Fame West Africa a few years ago.
The talent is clearly there, her vast wardrobe keeps her looking hot whether she’s rocking urban gear, going with the traditional look, or going for class. Whichever way you want am, Chidinma fit do am, and she’ll do it better that most.
And that short hair cut? Boy oh Boy! She’s stay killing it with that look. Probably the most unique of beauties you’d find in Nigerian entertainment. You really cant say anyone is like her.

Lola Rae
You when you were a kid, and you would have posters of those women that you just thought were the best creations ever. Lola Rae reminds us of one of those. She has that ‘almost out of this world’ beauty. The Half-Nigerian, Half British singer made an appearance in Ice Prince video, More, and had a lot of people picking their mouths off the floor.
She does great herself in the music scene with her singles Watch My Ting Go, and Fimile (featuring Iyanya) doing pretty well so far. You add the British accent to her package and you know Lola Rae can conveniently walk into any man’s life without resistance. I mean who can turn that down.

___________________________________________________________________________________



Toke Makinwa
Toke Makinwa is downright beautiful. Dazall!
Ok that’s not all. The radio personality’s style is something serious, and for those that watch her vlog, her sense of humor is ridiculous. You just don’t expect it out of her sometimes and it’s like boom!! She’s making you laugh till you have tears coming from your eyes. You just cant go wrong having someone with her beauty, brains and sense of humor around you. You get the feeling she’ll be great company to have.
Oh and let’s not forget that wardrobe game is killer too.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Eva Alordiah
Until a few weeks ago you would’ve been able to place Eva Alordiah’s kind of beauty is specific category, but then she shared pictures where she was wearing traditional and gele and boys are like “How many kind ‘finess’ can one person have sef?”
It’s sometimes easy to look past her beauty because of everything else she brings to the table (talent on the mic, makeup skills, style, and being down to earth), but make no mistake, when she does decide to go “girly” on us, she can intimidate even the prettiest of beauty queens.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________



Osas Ighodaro
*Takes a deep breathe* I actually hadn’t heard too much of Osas until she was introduced as the host of Maltina Dance All, and mehn, some men will not sleep well if they attend the taping of that show o. Do the dancer concentrate well?
She was introduced to the cast of Tinsel after making the shift from the US to Nigeria and the former Miss Black USA 2010 has completely dazzled fans anytime she’s seen. She’s gorgeous, very well spoken, and very stylish.
For those that don’t know who she is, now you know.
