Politics / Interesting! Nigeria And Morrocco Spat Over Royal phone Call by Surplus90(m): 6:44pm On Mar 11, 2015
Found this report on BBC . Looks like there's a
quarrel between Nigeria & Morocco after our
foreign ministry claimed Pres. Jonathan spoke at
length to Moroccan monarch. Morocco denies
this. Read below...
"Morocco has recalled its ambassador from
Nigeria, accusing the authorities there of using
King Mohammed VI in an election campaign.
Its foreign ministry issued a statement, denying
the king had spoken by phone to Nigeria's
President Goodluck Jonathan, as had been
stated by Nigeria. The North Africa kingdom
denounced such "unethical practices", it said.
Nigeria has denied that the king was being used
to win over Muslim voters.
Mr Jonathan, a Christian from southern Nigeria, is
facing a strong challenge in the 28 March
elections from opposition candidate Muhammadu
Buhari, who is popular in Nigeria's mainly Muslim
north.
'Astonishment'
The Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs released a
statement on Sunday, denying reports that
President Jonathan had been snubbed by King
Mohammed because he was trying to curry favour
with Muslim voters.
"This information is absolutely not correct as the
president did in fact speak to the Moroccan
monarch... both leaders spoke extensively over
the phone on matters of mutual interest and
concern," it said.
However, Morocco's foreign ministry responded
by saying it wanted to state in the "clearest and
strongest terms" that "there has never been a
phone conversation" between the two men.
"The king has actually declined the request of the
Nigerian government because it is part of the
internal electioneering," Morocco's official news
agency Map quoted the statement as saying.
"The kingdom of Morocco expresses its
astonishment and denunciation to these unethical
practices that are contrary to the spirit of
responsibility that must prevail in relations
between states."
As a consequence Morocco's Abuja ambassador
was being recalled immediately for consultations,
it said.

Health / How Often Do You Change Your Toothbrush? by Surplus90(m): 1:26pm On Mar 11, 2015
So we (me and my friends) went to the dental clinic in my area for mouth/teeth washing and care (don't know what it is called in medical term)...mind you none of us is suffering from any kind of mouth/teeth issue, we just went because formerly it was #5000 but the whole thing is now #2500 due to their recently announced promo...
...one of the dentists asked me how often do I change my toothbrush, then I realised I have been using my current toothbrush for more than a month... she later advised that I change my toothbrush as often as possible... at least at two weeks interval...
...So how often do you change ur toothbrush?

Family / BEWARE!!.. Daycare Centres Hiring Out Babies For Begging by Surplus90(m): 4:13pm On Feb 25, 2015
Another unscrupulous mafia like syndicate ring
has been exposed -a new notorious form of
racketeering with infants from Day Care Centres.
Daily Times investigation uncovered a tripartite
gang, comprising some unscrupulous Day Care
Centers (DCC), middle men who act as agents
and the operatives who are the beggars.
The operators of the unscrupulous DCCs calculate
the hours that mothers who use their services
would be at work, then release the kids out to the
agents who are responsible for distribution to the
beggars. An ex-operative in the racket
(name withheld) who became born again
volunteered information in the course of the
investigation. She told Daily Times the network
runs strictly on trust, and recruits only operatives
who come highly recommended by the agents.
“It is the duty of the agents to find operatives;
they also find the most likely place for them to
stay and ensure that both the women and the
children are safe. They are also responsible for
returning the children and their respective centers
at the appointed times,” she said.
The source further revealed that the agents
understand the risks involved in taking someone’s
child for alms begging and ensure that children
are never sent to locations where they may be
identified and some DCCs, it is believed, drug the
children to make them sleep through the
‘business’ hours.
“Children from one location are taken to a far
place so that chances of their parents running
into them would be reduced; and also, the
operatives are under watch all the time so that, if
there is any sign of trouble, they would move in
and take the operative and the children away.
Also, the safe hours are very important because a
parent must not come and not meet their wards
at the centers.” she added.
Rates differ according to the season; the festive
or important seasons attract higher tariffs per
child.
According to reports from a Daily Times
correspondent who took to the streets to
investigate further, a dark complexioned woman
was spotted around Ikeja under bridge, Lagos,
with three infants; not more than three months
old. Curiously, she was not alone; a second
woman sat beside her, carrying one of the kids.
When questioned about the paternity of the
children, how old they were and why she was out
there in the sun with them, a drama of a sort
unfolded:
The woman immediately flared up, cursing while
the second woman hastily reached for her phone,
made a quick call and lo, a blue Toyota Camry
pulled out from the Computer Village gate end,
made a quick u-turn under the bridge and slowed
down beside the women who scrambled into the
car with the infants and they sped off.
Like a rehearsed movie script, one moment the
women were there; in a few minutes they were
gone; but two things caught the eye of the
correspondent:
the children, all the while appeared to be sleeping,
even when they were being bundled into the
vehicle, none of them as much as stirred, and
secondly, the driver of the vehicle screened his
face off with a sunshade dark as the night, and
thirdly, the vehicle number plate was not
distinguishable.
A similar drama also reportedly occured at the
busy Iyana Ipaja two days later. This time, a fair
woman with a laminated photo of a set of triplets
in their infants making it appear like she was the
woman in the photo with them, was spotted. In
her arms were the triplets, all boys now about
three years old; but something curiously
noticeable is the state of the boys: they were
looking too healthy and well groomed to have
been surviving from alms begging.
Attempts to tail her home and make inquiries
from her neighbourhood, was futile as an
unbranded bus with two women and several
children picked her and the boys up about 8 a.m.
She had been there two hours and since then she
never showed up there again.
It was further learnt that the Centers take
responsibility for preparing and dressing the kids
up for business, while the agent takes
responsibility for dropping the operatives/ babies
at their ‘outlets’ and returns them at the
appointed time; DCCs then bathe the children and
freshens them up ready for their parent’s pick up.
The sight of women with two or more children,
mostly infants, sitting by the busy sidewalks, at
major bus stops, market places, and on some
busy pedestrian bridges begging for alms is no
longer strange. Like a smokescreen, the operators
shield their nefarious practices with a compelling
humanity that calls the human conscience to
question.
The age of children used for this racket ranges
from one month to six months and above,
depending on the prevailing circumstances, but
there is always room for special arrangements.
Thus, for those who take their infants to Daycare
centres, vigilance is the watchword while you can
also do quick and unexpected checks on your
kids.

Hello, this is just a warning post coming from the
front desk of Google … the giant! If you are a
blogger and you know you are blog in the
entertainment niche, and you also know that your
blog contained some mature adult content or its
set up for that purpose, then I’ll advice you
remove it before March 23RD or else Google will
customize, privatize or dislocate your blog.
According to a message currently displaying at
the backends of Blogger blog from google states
that “On 23 March, Blogger will no longer allow
certain sexually explicit content…”
=-=>Go straight to your blog and remove all the
explicit video or sexual arousing contents or
images before your blog will be customize by
Google. If you can’t deal with this, then move
your blog to wordpress…
So do the needful before 23 rd of March… or else
you kiss your blog goodbye.

Politics / Ekiti Election Rigging Tape: Omisore Admits Attending Meeting - Premiumtimes by Surplus90(m): 12:49am On Feb 24, 2015
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in
the August 9, 2014, governorship election in Osun
State, Iyiola Omisore, has confirmed attending a
meeting captured in a leaked tape, which allegedly
provides details of how leaders of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and soldiers plotted to rig
the Ekiti election in 2014.
Mr. Omisore however denied that they discussed
how to rig the June 21 polls.
In an interview, reported by Sahara Reporters on
Monday, Mr. Omisore said the PDP candidate in
the Ekiti governorship election, Ayo Fayose, who
is now the governor, merely went to the army
camp to complain that his supporters were being
harassed by the soldiers while police officers were
being disarmed.
“There was no meeting actually. Fayose went to
the army camp to go and complain about the
Nigerian Army arresting his people alleging that
Governor Fayemi bribed the soldiers to arrest his
people. That is all,” he said.
“If you listened to that tape there was no issue.
In the same vein they showed on TV yesterday on
video that (Governor Rauf) Aregbesola rigged the
election. It was physical. This one was physical
and is not being uprooted by APC but that one
was just a voice over, so you can see the
difference.”
The controversial audio recorded by an army
captain, Sagir Koli, revealed a meeting between
his superior, Aliyu Momoh, a brigadier general,
former Minister of State for Defence and currently
a ministerial nominee, Musiliu Obanikoro; the
Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan; Mr.
Omisore and Mr. Fayose, strategizing on how to
rig the June 21, 2014 governorship election.
Mr. Omisore admission came barely a week after
President Goodluck Jonathan who was mentioned
in the audio by Mr. Obanikoro, claimed the audio
was fabricated and would not give it any
attention.
“It’s all fabrications. Why should I investigate
things that are not real?” the president told Wall
Street Journal, in a recent interview.
Mr. Jonathan later explained that he did not rule
out the possibility of a meeting, but the claim it
was about rigging.
Both Messrs. Adesiyan and Fayose had earlier
admitted the meeting held but that its agenda
was not how to rig the election.
Mr. Obanikoro denied participating in the meeting.
The former minister threatened to sue media
organisations, including PREMIUM TIMES and
Sahara Reporters, which have continued to report
the issue.
Mr. Omisore, a former senator and deputy
governor of Osun State, admitted urging the
participants in the meeting to calm down when
they went to complain to Mr. Momoh about the
disarming the policemen on duty and harassing
the PDP members.
“What I am saying is that if you listen to that
tape, you will know the difference. The issue being
canvassed on that tape was complaints by
Fayose about soldiers arresting PDP or disarming
policemen, simple!
“All I said was calm down, calm down! What
happened was that we were told the army were
disarming the Nigerian policemen. So in that case
is that you are supposed to be working as
partners and so how can you override your
partners. That was what he was cautioning them
for that day.”
“The issue on ground was the Nigerian army
disarming the Nigeria policemen. So he (Fayose)
was just advising the army general that he must
cooperate with the government agency and they
must work together – the Nigerian Army, the Civil
Defence Corps and the Nigerian police etc.”
Mr. Omisore lambasted the All Progressives
Congress for unnecessarily overheating the matter
just as he alleged that Mr. Aregbesola rigged the
Osun state polls in which he (Omisore) lost.
“So, there is a propaganda noise about APC. They
just make noise unnecessarily. Look at the case
of Aregbesola and how he rigged Osun election
when he was seen thumb-printing. These are the
isues you are supposed to be talking about,” the
PDP governorship candidate who recently lost to
Mr. Aregbesola at the election tribunal, said.
