bloggers easy with lies. she was never a pageant outside. but win a pageantry in prison!! stop your lies please.
    

Ruth Kamande made headlines back in 2015 for two things in particular. One, it was alleged that she had stabbed her 22-year-old boyfriend 22 times with a knife and two, Ruth is stunningly beautiful. Ruth was arrested and locked up in Lang’ata Women Prisons where she won the Miss Lang’ata crown in 2016. She was termed the sexiest prisoner.

Ruth Kamande appeared before the court on Tuesday where she pleaded guilty to killing her young lover. The sexy lass told the court that their argument ensued after she found a small yellow card from Aids Control programme showing he was a patient, in his room.

“Farid told me that he would rather kill me and himself than have his status exposed because I realized he was HIV positive, I stabbed him severally using a kitchen knife, which fell on my chest from his hands after I overpowered him after putting my two thumbs in his eyes to save my life,” she told the court.

Politics › The Nta-nisation Of Channels TV by sorepco(op): 1:26pm On Dec 04, 2018
First of all: introduction. NTA is the Nigerian Television Authority, largely federal government-owned. Once upon a time, nearly everyone in Nigeria was hooked up to NTA. Then came the deregulation of broadcasting in 1992, thank God.

On the other hand, Channels TV which began broadcasting in 1995 is owned by John Momoh as Chairman/CEO, assisted by his wife, Sola Momoh, who is vice-chairman. Never thought I'd ever use NTA and Channels TV in the same sentence. In spite of the fact that someone I know calls Channels TV 'a glorified NTA' or 'a slightly better version of NTA'. Also, in spite of the fact that John Momoh is an alumnus of NTA.

I stay away from NTA as much as I can these days despite its rich source and a real treasure trove for the Come Again? section of this column. This is because NTA puts government first and journalism last. Channels TV (Dstv 254), on the other hand, 'has a well-earned reputation as a professional establishment. Its presenters had a clear mark of excellence, standing shoulders above the competition. Winning Best TV Station for the 10th time is a testament to this. Channels TV was the station to go when you wanted unbiased objective and informed news'. This was from two years ago. Channels TV has now won the award for Best TV Station, 14 times.

If you think I was being unduly optimistic about the TV station, here's what Channels TV says on its website about what it is set up to do: "Give an alternative medium of communication to the government-controlled media in Nigeria. Perform the role of a true watch-dog of the government and its policies and hold public officers accountable to the people". Does this sound like the present Channels TV?

I wasn't really interested in writing about Channels TV again; yes, again. That earlier quote was from a story I wrote for this column two years ago (February, 14 2016) titled: 'How Not To Interview A Guest, Part 1 & 2. However, recent events have more or less compelled this write up. It began with reports that NTA, after acknowledging receipt of payment, refused to air the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar's campaign ads. I simply waved it away. I would have been more interested in that story if there was any evidence that the broadcast watchdog, National Broadcasting Commission, would act. The NBC DG, Ishaq Modibo Kawu, was last 'seen' defending himself against an allegation of embezzling N2.5bn.

Then last week happened. Over 100 soldiers were killed by Boko Haram. In the process of dismissing the deaths on Channels TV's Politics Today hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Femi Adesina reportedly claimed countries around the world usually don't release the names of dead soldiers, or implied words to that effect. Foreign journalists began to disprove Adesina's claims almost immediately. Even at that, I shrugged Adesina's comments off. This is Femi Adesina we are talking about, the man who has a collection of greatest hits such as Wailing Wailers, among others.

However, by Tuesday, the story was different. There were claims that Adesina's interview uploaded online had been edited to remove the controversial parts. Now, this is a new low for Nigeria's supposedly best TV station. I am not surprised about the station trying to outdo NTA as a better promoter of the government, contrary to their mission statement. I first called Channels TV out two years ago when Maupe Ogun-Yusuf had an interview with the NCP's Mark Onovo. She sounded like the militant press arm of the ruling party. Once in a while, I notice the presenters remember they are supposed to be journalists. I see the struggle. It must take extra power for them to dumb themselves down, the way they do, week in, week out, and interviewee after interviewee.

Imagine a Festus Keyamo comes on your show crowing about all kinds of achievements and you, the interviewer, has to have a conversation like you live on the moon and only just stepped in for that interview. And just how scary the Nigeria Police gets when they decide to prove they know the law. You should see Channels TV guys when the guest is an 'opposition' politician. The other day, when Mustapha Chike-Obi was a guest on Sunrise Daily, Chamberlain Usoh and Nneota Egbe couldn't ask him questions fast enough. For this reason, I'm willing to concede that perhaps, just perhaps, Channels TV deserves their title of Best TV Station, after all. All that hard work! The question should be: 'Best TV Station in Nigeria,' For what? Doctoring videos?

Just before concluding this piece, I decided to watch Sunrise Daily just in case something had changed. Immediately after the review, the next guest that was promoted was Garba Shehu, who is the better half of the presidential Aki and Pawpaw Show. No, I didn't wait to find out what he said.

I don't blame presidential media aides for doing their job, the way they understand it. But I blame journalists for not doing their own jobs.

Politics › Making A Militant:[/b] A Mysterious Shia Group Has Nigeria Worried by sorepco(op): 10:34pm On Nov 27, 2018
The streets are quiet and the tear gas has dissipated, but no one knows for sure how many protesters were killed in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, at the end of October. The army claims six people died when soldiers stopped demonstrators from overrunning a checkpoint. Human-rights groups say at least 45 were killed—and that the demonstrations were peaceful.

More mystery surrounds the group that organised the protests, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (imn). It is known to be made up mostly of Shia Muslims. Analysts count millions of members. Many gathered in Abuja to demand the release of their leader, Ibrahim Zakzaky, who was jailed three years ago. He preaches non-violence, but the army is testing the imn’s restraint. Some fear the government is creating a new Boko Haram, the Sunni jihadists waging a bloody insurgency in the north.


There were few Shias in Nigeria 40 years ago. Mr Zakzaky is almost single-handedly responsible for changing that. Entranced by the Iranian revolution, he converted from Sunni Islam to Shiism in 1979, then went about converting others. Today analysts think Nigeria has up to 3m Shias; nearly all are in the imn. They form a small minority of Nigeria’s roughly 180m population, split between Muslims (mostly Sunnis), who dominate the north, and Christians, who dominate in the south.

Mr Zakzaky has amassed followers in the impoverished north by railing against the government’s ineffectiveness and corruption (while extolling the virtues of Iran). Many are drawn to the imn’s schools and welfare schemes. But it has evolved into something of a messianic cult, centred around Mr Zakzaky. Similar groups have a long history of stirring up trouble in the north. The imn’s rise coincided with that of the Yan Tatsine cult, which followed a preacher called Maitatsine and clashed with the government in the 1970s and 80s. Now Boko Haram, which is much smaller than the imn, torments the state.

For most of its existence, the imn was largely ignored by the government. That changed when members blocked the Nigerian army chief’s convoy in the state of Kaduna in 2015. At least 300 of them were killed when soldiers cleared the road, say human-rights groups. (It is not clear if the soldiers were attacked.) Mr Zakzaky and his wife were injured, then arrested. For two years they were held without charge, despite a court order in 2016 to release them. In April they were charged, implausibly, with conspiracy to kill the army chief. The imn, now banned in Kaduna, has vowed to keep protesting until Mr Zakzaky and his wife are released. On November 7th they were denied bail by Kaduna’s high court.

The government’s response is starting to resemble its tactics against the Yan Tatsine and the forerunner to Boko Haram, which caused both groups to become more violent. “The state is going about this in the wrong way,” says John Campbell, a former American ambassador to Nigeria. He fears the imn will abandon non-violence.

Others worry that the stand-off could descend into a proxy war. The imn reportedly receives cash from Iran. The group denies this—and accuses the government of being in thrall to Saudi Arabia.

Things may be coming to a head. “We don’t want to use violence,” says Ibrahim Musa, a spokesman for the imn. “But if they keep being violent against us, I don’t know what will happen. Already some members are saying enough is enough.”

The cities will be dominated by rich Africans who can afford the passports and visa while they get to enjoy the best living standards like they re living abroad.

Oyibo get indepth sense shaa..you thinking gowon estate for the few rich they are thinking charter cities for millions of rich and mid class Africans





i dont think you understand the concept my friend. i feel and think it works thus:

the poor will benefit the most. because they are mistly the illegals risking their lives in the ocean going to europe.


it shall be a city of and for refugees from all corners of the world. the idea is to dissuade people from wanting to migrate to europe. why risk the evil seas when you can drive to a charter city.

it will act as a ''growth pole'' for any region in africa. i.e. it shall spur high growth in other regions.

to be honest for the past 2 years i have been wondering why duch has not been done yet. i am over excited by such a development. thinking you alone are yhinking about something where ad spme one somewhere is implementing it!! i am teally excited by this.

A controversial proposal by a German minister that foreign powers acquire land in Africa to curb migration has been rejected by the African Union, writes the BBC's Dickens Olewe.

The European Union, or a body like the World Bank, should build and run cities in Africa in order to boost job creation and development on the continent, Germany's Minister for Africa, Gunter Nooke, told the BBC in an interview in which he outlined his thinking on how to stem migration to Europe.

This will mean African countries leasing their land to a foreign body to "allow free development for 50 years", Mr Nooke said.

It is a controversial idea, rejected by critics as reeking of colonialism. But others - like Carol Musyoka, an academic at Strathmore Business School, one of Kenya's top universities - are open to the concept.

In a BBC interview, Ms Musyoka described the proposal as "fascinating", and said she would support it if it was a genuine attempt to ensure that Africans - not foreign powers - benefited

Image captionLagos is predicted to have 30 million people by 2050 - and will struggle to create jobs for them all

American Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer developed the idea a decade ago.

In 2009, he said developing countries should consider surrendering part of their territory to foreign states which would then build what he called "charter cities" from the ground up.

The cities, he added, would operate under a set of laws separate from the host country.

'Hong Kong of Central America'

In 2008, Madagascar's then-President Marc Ravalomanana expressed interest in implementing the plan in the Indian Ocean island following a meeting with Mr Romer.

He said two such cities would be built where locals and migrants from neighbouring states could live.

The opposition accused Mr Ravalomanana of treason, and organised protests which killed the idea and helped trigger his downfall in 2009.

Honduras' then-President Porfirio Lobo Sosa also expressed support for the idea, saying in 2011 that "charter cities" would improve the lives of Hondurans by offering competitive jobs, better health and education, and a "top class" legal and security system.

The independent Honduran La Prensa newspaper said at the time that the plan would make the country "the Hong Kong of Central America".

Mr Sosa failed to implement it, following a backlash from critics opposed to Honduras losing control over its territory.

As in Europe, migration is a toxic political issue in the Americas and many Hondurans are part of the migration caravan moving towards the US border.

Video captionThe first members of the migrant caravan have reached the US-Mexico border

The current Honduran government hopes that the creation of what it calls special economic zones (SEZs) will boost development.

Although it has not fully outlined its plans, it has said that the SEZs would fall under foreign laws and foreign judges as this would make Honduras more attractive to Western investors, according to BBC Mundo's Luis Fajardo.

"We believe that when these special economic zones come to life and people see how successful they are in terms of generating employment, the politicians from all the states [in Honduras] will ask for it," Economics Minister Arnaldo Castillo told the BBC.

'Crazy idea'

But resistance to the idea remains strong, with many poor Hondurans believing the SEZs will only benefit the rich, and will create extended gated communities which will living under rules separate from the rest of the country, Fajardo said.


Mr Romer, in a 2011 TED Talk , argued that foreign-run cities could be a model of efficient governance and offer a good quality of life, stopping people from migrating for economic reasons.

Some proponents of the idea see Hong Kong as a model. They argue that the Chinese territory owes its economic development to when it was under British control between 1841 to 1997.

Mr Nooke sees the cities as economic bases that would also provide education to young Africans.

"The basic idea is that these free cities will create growth and prosperity," he told the BBC.

However, some warn the plan will not work.

"Creating an enclave economy would be a crazy idea," Ken Opalo from Georgetown University in the US warned.

Such cities would trigger internal migration, and not benefit the whole economy or fix the myriad problems African states are grappling with, he said.

"However messy or corrupt, it would be best to work through state institutions," Mr Opalo said, adding that the best way to help the continent is to invest in small and medium-sized businesses to create employment.

The African Union's (AU) Director of Communication, Leslie Richer, also rejected the idea of foreign-run cities, saying it "is a lazy answer" to concerns about migration and "implies that Africa needs to give up sovereignty and accede to 'management' by international organisations".

'Voluntary colonialism'

The AU's development plan, called Agenda 2063, is diametrically opposed to Mr Nooke's.

"I envision that our own African growth model will drive an African miracle. Sustained high economic growth in the continent will be driven by African unity and political and economic integration," the AU envoy for Infrastructure Development, Raila Odinga, said.


But Mr Nooke is determined to pursue the idea of foreign-run cities, saying it "must be conceived in such a way that any conflict will be avoided" between European and African governments.

Ms Musyoka is among Africans who hope such cities will be built, saying she will accept "voluntary colonialism" because of the failure of many African governments to provide a better life for their people.

Her view will make the founding fathers of independent Africa turn in their graves, but it could gain currency among young Africans risking their lives to reach Europe to escape poverty, corruption and inefficiency.

Romance › Moroccan Woman In UAE 'killed Lover And Cooked Him' by sorepco(op): 1:21pm On Nov 22, 2018
A Moroccan woman has been accused of killing her lover and serving up his remains to Pakistani workers in the United Arab Emirates, prosecutors say.

The woman killed her boyfriend three months ago, they say, but the crime was only recently discovered when a human tooth was found inside her blender.

She confessed to police, calling it a moment of "insanity", state-owned newspaper The National reports.

The woman, who is in her 30s, will go on trial pending an investigation.

United Arab Emirates profile

She had been in a relationship with the victim for seven years. According to The National, she killed him after he told her he was planning to marry someone else from Morocco.

While police did not reveal how he was killed, they said his girlfriend had served up his remains as part of a traditional rice and meat dish to some Pakistani nationals working nearby.

The discovery was only made when the victim's brother went looking for him at their home in the city of Al Ain, which sits on the border with Oman. There, he found a human tooth inside a blender, the newspaper reports.

The man went on to report his brother missing to police, who carried out DNA tests on the tooth and confirmed it belonged to the victim.

According to police, the woman first told the brother she had kicked the victim out of the home. But Dubai-based Gulf News said she later collapsed and admitted the killing under police questioning.

She reportedly said she had enlisted the help of friend to help clear up her apartment after the killing.

The accused has reportedly been sent to hospital for mental health checks.

Romance › Designer Vaginas Are All The Rage In Lebanon by sorepco(op): 3:27pm On Nov 20, 2018
A new type of nip and tuckDesigner vaginas are all the rage in Lebanon

Some women seek plastic surgery for a smoother look.

“In the gulf the ladies want a big butt and a big vagina. Not the Lebanese. They want smaller vaginas. They are more like the Europeans: they want the labia inside.” So says Dr Hussein Hashim, a plastic surgeon in Beirut, as he sits behind a desk scattered with buttock implants. He and his colleagues perform surgeries with names like “The Barbie Look” or “The Beverly Hills Rejuvenation”—operations that trim the inner labia, tighten the vagina or reduce the fold of skin covering the clitoris.

Labiaplasty is the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery in the world. Lebanese women, who have a penchant for biological improvement, are particularly keen on it. Only Spain and Brazil do more vaginal procedures per head. “Beauty used to be all about the face. Now it’s about the body. Buttocks and vaginas are the big thing,” says Elie Abdel Hak of Lebanon’s plastic-surgery society.

The rise in women who want so-called designer vaginas has confounded researchers. Some say the Brazilian bikini wax has made women more conscious of their vulvae. Others blame online pornography for idealising the vagina and depressing women who think their genitals are abnormal. They don’t want their vaginas showing through their shorts or bikinis, says Mr Hak. “They’ve become ashamed.” Tighter clothes, childbirth, irritation during exercise and insults from men also play a role, studies suggest.

In Lebanon women are often influenced by magazines featuring slim yet voluptuous women. A nip and tuck is relatively cheap (a labiaplasty costs about $1,500). Girls as young as 14 have nose jobs, often brought to the clinic by their mothers. But a labiaplasty carries risks. America’s Food and Drug Administration has warned that some of the tools used to destroy and reshape vaginal tissue are dangerous. Lasers used to “rejuvenate the vagina” may cause burns, scarring or pain during sex.

Politics › Buhari Is Change, But Atiku Is Bureau De Change – Rev Fr. Mbaka by sorepco(op): 6:19pm On Oct 22, 2018
News By: adekunle

 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2018

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka the Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is change, but former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is "bureau de change” just as he said that they were sharing the money in dollars and it was going out in millions of dollars in Nigeria where hunger is killing people; where you don't have food to eat.

Mbaka described Atiku as bureau de change, according to him, because of the foreign currencies that allegedly exchanged hands at the National Convention of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, before the ex-VP emerged the party's presidential candidate.

Mbaka speaking recently to his congregation at the Adoration Ground said "So let the will of God be done in Nigeria. It is like what I have been saying Buhari change or you will be changed"

"What will it take you; change the Chief of Staff, change B, change C, change this and change that; even if it will take 20 Igbo men or 20 Yoruba men to change Nigeria; take all of them. Look at what (Chukwuma) Soludo did in the Central Bank; he has assured Nigeria and the whole world that there is nothing like bank collapse again.

"An Igbo man did this, why can't Buhari take Soludo for the economic revival and revamping of Nigeria's economy? And you are busy talking about corruption, playing game with the lives of Nigerians from the issue of Fulani herdsmen to Boko Haram to Jos killings. You said somebody stole, what did he steal?

"Someday, they said the government has spent trillions of naira on social investment scheme and I want to know who are the people they were spending the money on; the Vice President said they are giving N10,000 to small scale businesses and I asked, is this how they will transform Nigeria? You give somebody N10,000 for business, what type of business will N10,000 start?

"Somebody will have billions and want to take the one belonging to the public while hunger will be killing his people. Look at the type of money they shared during the primaries to the extent that they brought Bureau de Change. They said Buhari is change, but Atiku is bureau de change. They were sharing the money in dollars and it was going out in millions of dollars in Nigeria where hunger is killing people; where you don't have food to eat.

"If they spend such monies to get ticket, how do you think that when they get into power they will rule, of course, they will first recover the money they have spent but the worst is that the money was not being shared to the poor,".

"There are some people that sold their land to pay for this form because of the promise they were made. I don't think these politicians were thinking of heaven that is why they are ready to kill anybody that stands on their way,".

"If anybody is thinking that if Atiku becomes the President of Nigeria things will get better, 'who born you' because for this country to be good it is easier for a carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than this country to be good,"

"There are no people that will develop this country that are not in Nigeria. We have people who will develop this nation; but our President left the same type of people who don't have the same type of vision around him and everything they do is in your head.

"After you are removed, they will bring people that will flog you because you messed up the opportunities because you didn't listen to the word of God. You didn't listen to the man of God you have and you were disobeying him.

But he owns 60% of the shares. Which mean those clamouring to kick him out own less than 40. How is that even possible??

Email scam: Nigerian 'ran ring from Sydney

Australian police have charged a man they say was running a multi-million dollar email scam from inside an immigration detention centre in Sydney.

The Nigerian man, 43, headed a fraud ring which sent fake messages that claimed to be from trusted companies, according to New South Wales Police.

Three other people were charged over the alleged crimes, which included identity theft and romance scams.

The alleged ring netted more than A$3m (£1.6; $2.2m), authorities said.

The money had been transferred to unknown recipients in Nigeria and was unlikely to be recovered, said Supt Arthur Katsogiannis.



The scam was allegedly run through 16 phones and 17 SIM cards out of Sydney's Villawood Immigration Detention Centre.

A man, 20, and two women, 20 and 36, were arrested elsewhere in Sydney.

Supt Katsogiannis said that Australian police and global law enforcement agencies would continue investigations to try to track down the money.

He urged companies to improve their cyber security, and be wary of suspicious requests to transfer funds.

"While there are many variables, generally, the perpetrators will 'spoof' or compromise corporate executive or employee email accounts and send email requests to an accounts payable employee for an electronic funds transfer," Supt Katsogiannis said.

Villawood Immigration Detention Centre is a high-security facility that can hold up to 600 people.

It was accommodating 450 people from more than 60 countries in April last year, according to an Australian Human Rights Commission report. Most had either had their visas cancelled, not complied with visa conditions, or were seeking asylum, the report said.

Politics › Police Arrest Publisher Of Sahara Reporters, Sowore by sorepco(op): 7:39am On Sep 04, 2018
I no understand. Since when the police de take charge for misunderstanding amongst nigerians that took place overseas?

 

The Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoleye Sowore, was arrested by the police in Lagos on Wednesday.

The spokesperson for the Police Command in Lagos State, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the arrest.

Badmos said Soworewas arrested over an alleged threat to life and blackmail of a London-based journalist, Lekan Fatodun.

She said Sowore was picked up in his home by policemen attached to Area 'F' command, Ikeja.

She added that the arrest followed a petition by Fatodun, alleging that Sowore published a story alleging that he (Fatodun) was involved inmoney laundering.

She said the publication alleged that Fatodun was assisting politicians to move money out of the country.

"The publisher was arrested this evening over threat to life and blackmail. Investigation is still going on," she said.

In a Facebook post after his arrest, Sowore accused the police of being hostile towards him and planning his ordeal with Fatodun.

He also accused Fatodun of assaulting him in the presence of the police.

He said, “After the police “intervened” soon as I was attacked by Lekan Fatodu and his friends in Lagos we were taken to the CP’s office in Lagos.

“Turns out he was in on this, he pulled out a supposed petition written by Lekan from his hat after that he became very hostile towards me and ordered that we be driven to State CID, at Panti in Lagos.

“It is very obvious that this was planned between Lekan Fatodu and the police. They offered him unbridled support as he continued attacking me in the presence of the police. I could have been (sic) I am familiar with this style of the Nigerian police. We are now being driven to Panti in Yaba res (sic) of Lagos.
