NEWS NUGGET- CNN’s Amampour: Rotimi Amaechi Allegedly Looted $757Million in US Foreign Accounts

CNN's Amampour show alleges Rotimi Amaechi looted $757MIllion in US foreign accounts

On CNN’s Amanpour Live Report it was reported that Amaechi has been stacking money in different foreign accounts.

According to the statement, Amanpour’s show said “the sum of over 757 million U.S. dollars was stacked by Amaechi in a foreign U.S. Bancorp/Minnesota account.”

The Integrity Group, a non-governmental organization, has sent a petition to Buhari as well as the Economic Financial Crimes Commission chairman to investigate Amaechi for the over N70 billion stolen from the Rivers State government.

This amount is separate from the N21 billion which the PDP claims Amaechi transferred from the Power Assets proceeds account of Access bank to the accounts of three private companies with a 25 Trans-Amadi Road, Port Harcourt address.

Well, is he the one that Buhari’s camp is telling us that we will be shocked when the first looter is arrested?

Details developing…

The lawmaker member representing Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Linus Okorie, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly call Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state to order on the purported appointment of two foreign forensic audit firms to look into federal government revenue generating agencies from 2010 to 2015.
In a statement in Abakaliki, Mr. Okorie observed that neither the Mr. Oshiomohole-led National Executive Council Adhoc Committee on Excess Crude Accounts and Remittances to the Federation Account nor the NEC itself has the power under the constitution to make the purported appointments.
He also stated that even if they had the legal authority, the said appointment is contrary to the clear provisions of the Public Procurement Act 2007, adding that the NEC created under the part 1 of the third schedule 1999 constitution (as amended) is merely an advisory body to the President and has no authority to enter into contractual obligations on behalf of the government of the federation.
He said: “Specifically, the section provides that the National Economic Council shall have power to advise the President concerning the economic affairs of the Federation, and in particular on measures necessary for the co- ordination of the economic planning efforts or economic programmes of the various Governments of the Federation.
“Section 17 of the Public Procurement Act clearly defines the approving authorities for all procurements by the federal government as Tenders Board and a Ministerial Tender Board. Therefore, clearly and unambiguously, the NEC cannot by any stretch of the imagination be construed as an approving authority under the Act,” said Mr. Okorie.
The lawmaker also stated that the appointment announced by Governor Oshiomole is in contravention of sections 19, 20, 44 to 47 of the Public Procurement Act 2007 with respect to procurement plans, implementation and the engagement of precise and ascertainable consultants.
He pointed out that the Committee did not go through the acceptable procurement procedures in arriving at the appointment announced by Governor Oshiomhole.
He outlined the procedure to include publication in national and international newspapers, expression of interest, pre-qualification, open competitive bids, stakeholder observation and related transparency procedures.
While supporting every legitimate effort by the president in recovering looted assets, Mr. Okorie cautioned against any resort to extra legal means of engagement no matter how attractive that may seem.
He reiterated the call by Mathew Kukah on President Buhari to act within the confines of the law in his quest for loot recovery, and more importantly not to lose focus of his responsibility for good governance.
“President Buhari must avoid any extra legal means, no matter how attractive and populist it may seem. He must remain conscious of the legal maxim that in a democracy, it’s better for 10 offenders to escape justice than one innocent person to suffer injustice”.
Mr. Okorie called on President Buhari to act swiftly by calling Governor Oshiomole and his Committee to order by cancelling the purported appointment, which he said has sent wrong signals on the government to abide by the rule of law.
“While it is within the government’s legitimate mandate to appoint the said forensic auditors, it must be done by the proper authority and within the ambits of law. Anything to the contrary is both illegal and illegitimate”.

Watching a lot of porn can affect your brain, scientists reckon…

It’s a guilty pleasure best enjoyed in moderation, apparently, because too much can make you desensitised in real sexual situations.

Porn can also bring out the same characteristics found in drug addicts – but sadly enthusiasts often get diminished pleasure from each ‘fix’.

Expert Joe Schrank told Medical Daily: ‘As with anything in life, striving for balance is key.

‘Brains need diversity of activity too.’

When you have sex or watch porn, a neurotransmitter called dopamine is released into your system. And generally that’s a good thing.

But a 2014 study which scanned the brains of porn watchers found less was released the more porn they watched – saying they needed extra stimulation.

Two other brain chemicals released during sex or watching porn include oxytocin and vasopressin, which recall long term memories.

If the feeling of satisfaction comes to be associated with pornography, it keeps people going back to it, rather than actual sexual experiences.

The study also found that watching lots of porn could lead to less activity in the left putamen, which usually responds to sexual stimuli.

It’s apparently similar to the results found in cocaine addicts – although the research doesn’t conclude whether porn causes the brain changes, or if people with certain brain types just watch more porn.

Research by Cambridge University last year found porn enthusiasts responded to erotic images the same way alcoholics respond to seeing pictures of drinks.

It’s due to the way the ventral striatum responds to stimulus, but in younger people could increase impulsiveness and risk-taking.

So there you have it. Like all good things, it’s best not to overdo it, so to speak.

While tributes are pouring in from other stars in the music industry, other reports are stating that Five Star Music artist Skiibii might not be dead after all.

Wizkid, Davido, Di’Ja, Victoria Kimani, Phyno, Patoranking, Diamond, Shaydee and many more artists have shared their tributes on social media, with a lot of them stating how difficult it is to believe that the 22-year-old ‘Sampu’ singer is gone.

See tributes below. According to LIB, the details around his death are getting uncertain as while his manager Soso Soberekon confirmed the death, labelmate Kcee has come forward to state that Skiibii is still alive and has been revived.

At this time the two numbers for the Five Star Music group have remained unanswered.

UPDATES:
They were rumoured to be on the verge of divorce but Janet Jackson is said to have spent her 49th birthday with her beloved husband Wissam al Mana.

The Rhythm Nation hitmaker celebrated her special day on 16 May and believed she would be
enjoying a sushi meal with her billionaire husband, only to find that he had organised a surprise party at the Hyde Lounge in Los Angeles.

According to Us Weekly, the singer’s older brother Jermaine Jackson, 60, was among the 30 guests in attendance at the private bash.

A source told the magazine: “Thirty of her closest friends and family were there.” The insider claims that Jackson had “two beautiful cakes” and partied with her group until 1:30am.

Sharing further details of the top secret shindig, another insider told E! News: “When she arrived in the venue with her husband and bodyguard, they escorted her to the patio where her closest friends and some family members were waiting for her with a big surprise!”

The couple’s united front comes just days after it was alleged that Jackson’s marriage to the 39-year-old businessman is on the rocks.

A friend of the couple’s reportedly told E!: “All the bliss that Janet experienced pre-marriage with Wissam and in the first couple of months is gone.”

However, another source shut down these allegations, telling the publication: “From what I was told, she never said divorce. From what I’m told, she’s staying with him.”

Entertainment Tonight also insisted the couple’s marriage was stable with a source telling the website: “The rumours about their marriage are a lie. They are very happy and very much together. In fact, the couple has recently purchased an even larger home in New York.”

The pair married in a top secret ceremony in 2012 but the Grammy-winner only confirmed the news on her website.

Part of the statement read: “The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony.”

The That’s The Way Love Goes singer will be returning to the spotlight later this year with a brand new tour and album.

Eleme Local Government Area is located on the outskirt of Port Harcourt city, Rivers State. It is one of the fastest developing community in Rivers state. In recent times, we have seen notable and laudable changes. At the heart of Eleme and at the center of this developmental strides is a great man, an icon, a man of valor, a celebrated Traditional ruler, HRH. Appolus Chu of Okori community.
He has seen his community and Eleme as a whole through in many phases of developments by his wholesome dedication to good work and through the immense efforts and contributions of his foundation, HRH APPOLUS CHU FOUNDATION.
Last week Sunday, HRH. Appolus Chu welcomed the present local government new caretaker chairman, Barr. Philip Okparaji to his palace, an astute visit geared towards the vision for the better existence of the people of Eleme. In the process, HRH Appolus Chu admonished the local government chairman to pay special attention to town-planning for Eleme communities. He foresees a great structurally developed Eleme which can only be attained through proper town planning. If proper town planning is not done in this early stage of growth, there might be need for demolitions in the near future to accommodate the development foreseen. ''we should pay attention to proper town-planning, construction of drainages, proper allocation of building suites, road mapping and other permanent or temporary visible constructions, Eleme has seen the light, we cannot wait on the government to build our world, we can make a change"
'' HRH. Appolus Chu advised during the visit. He went ahead to suggest a roadmap towards the realization of this development when he said "some roads are already lost because houses were built in places where roads and streets are supposed to run though, we can create roads in the virgin areas to avoid such reoccurrences so the government and other agencies coming for more development can know where to start from.... hire bulldozers and workers for the host communities to co-ordinate the road creation”.
He urged the people of Eleme communities to join hands in building Eleme. The future is bright and clear for them.
He reassured the people of his unending support and dedication to their well being.

The metal part of a bra saved a female tourist from suffering greater injury when she was hit by a stray piece of ammunition during a hunt in northern Germany, police reported Friday.
The 41year-old woman from North Rhine-Westphalia was cycling through a rape field in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a male companion when she suddenly felt pain.
“According to our enquiries so far, she was hit by an object in the breast area,” a police spokesman in the port of Wismar said.
A wild boar hunt was taking place in the area at the time of the accident. The woman from the city of Guetersloh suffered only bruising. A piece of ammunition was found on the bra’s metal wire.
Police were questioning one of the hunters on suspicion of bodily injury caused by negligence.
A local newspaper reported the incident on Friday, saying that it took place on Sunday.
The hunt was stopped and the hunter’s rifle was seized. It is possible that a piece of shot ricocheted during the hunt.
A dead young boar was also found during the investigation after the incident.

http://cynthiamorgansblog.com/president-buhari-allegedly-approves-amnesty-for-boko-haram/

By Kayode Sesan, Kingsley Kanayo

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved amnesty for the Boko Haram terrorist group, a top presidential source who spoke to BREAKING TIMES on condition of anonymity disclosed on Thursday.

According to the source, President Buhari has concluded plans on the amnesty grant for Boko Haram and the official announcement is expected shortly after discussions between government negotiators and Boko Haram terrorists have reached a fairly advanced stage.

“I can authoritatively tell you that the issue has gone beyond a plan, President Buhari has concluded on the issue, granted approvals and it will be announced soon”, the source said.

Contrary to earlier reports, which suggested that the Nigerian government is open to negotiations with Boko Haram alongside considerations of amnesty in a deal expected to put an end to the mass killings of innocent Nigerian citizens by the dreaded terrorist group, our source hinted that the idea of amnesty is not one Boko Haram has accepted. “President Buhari is actually acting proactively by offering amnesty to them in the hope of sealing a ceasefire deal with the terrorists. From all indications, Boko Haram has not agreed to lay down their arms for amnesty. But this new offer by President Buhari is expected to soften the terms of negotiation with them”, the source disclosed.

Recently, President Muhammadu Buhari declared that he is ready to negotiate with the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists, according to his spokesperson, Femi Adesina. Adesina disclosed this in an interview with BBC Africa. He said if Boko Haram members are willing, the president will negotiate with them.

However, this seems to be against the earlier stance of Buhari who during his campaign, promised not to negotiate with the insurgents if elected as president.

“Boko Haram is not interested in peace – if they are interested in peace, how can they kill 13,000 Nigerians?” the former military ruler told BBC News in February.

As news of presidential amnesty for Boko Haram filters from the Presidential villa, it is not immediately clear why President Buhari has adopted the carrot approach to dealing with the Boko Haram menace. “There must be a strategy behind it that we may not know about. You know the President is a retired military general and just returned from a trip to the US where he had discussions with President Obama on this Boko Haram issue. We can only watch events unfold within the next few days”, a security source told BREAKING TIMES.



The idea of amnesty for Boko Haram is however not one new to Muhammadu Buhari. In 2013 as leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Buhari backed amnesty for Boko Haram. According to him; “Yes, it is good they have set up a committee and I haven’t seen the terms of reference, but it is the right thing to do. This is not the first time amnesty will be given to … eh.. what shall I call them, a violent group; remember what happened with Alhaji Musa Yar’Adua and the militants. So, this is not the first time. Whatever that will bring peace to the society, we should do it.” In a similar development, in 2013, the United States of America supported the call for amnesty for Boko Haram.

The Political Counsellor at the Embassy of the USA, Gregory Lawless, said in Abuja that the American government would support amnesty for Boko Haram if it was the solution to ending violence in the north and other parts of the country.

“We think it is a positive development. We will work with Nigerian government as it develops its own policy approach as to counter violent extremism,” Lawless said in a response to a question about the US position on the amnesty the Nigerian government was planning to grant the Islamic sect at a teleconference on US-Nigerian Bi-national Commission.

He added, “Security concerns in Nigeria would be addressed through our regional security cooperation working group as part of the Bi-National Commission.

“We are looking at a holistic approach to address the unmet grievances of the population, especially in the north.

“Through that mechanism, we think by broadening the scope of response to violent extremism, we believe that we will be addressing some of those issues in a more fundamental way.” Boko Haram killed more than 13,000 civilians between 2009 and 2015, including around 10,000 in 2014, in attacks occurring mainly in northeast Nigeria. Upwards of 1.5 million people have been displaced in the streaks of their wanton bloodshed and violence.

dare devil armed robbers at the weekend, unleashed terror on a bridal train at Mgbuishii, Ohaji/Egbema local government area of Imo State, killing the video camera man and badly wounded others, including the photographer in the process.

Vanguard gathered that the newly wed couple (names withheld) were in Chimezie Catholic Parish, Mgbuishii, for the solemnization of their wedding and were on their way back to Owerri for the reception, when masked men suddenly jumped out of the nearby bush and attacked the bridal train.

A villager, who spoke on strict grounds of anonymity, identified the dead video camera man as Mr. Isaac Ezirim, while the wounded photographer was Mr. Julius Ashigbu.

“The hoodlums first attacked the vehicle conveying the bride and groom. Although the bullets hit the video camera man and the photographer, the driver of the vehicle sped off”, the villager recounted.

It was also gathered that having missed their target, the masked hoodlums descended on all the vehicles coming behind the couple.

“The hoodlums robbed the friends and relations of the couple of cash and other personal valuables, including telephone handsets”, the villager said.

A close friend of the couple told Vanguard that the wedding, which was taken to the home of the groom, was eventful until the bridal train started moving to Owerri for the reception.

“This ugly incident took place at the outskirts of Mgbuishii, a sleepy rural community that is now getting notorious for all manner of serious crimes”, a female villager lamented.

It would be recalled that about a year ago, Vanguard exclusively reported how scores of women from this community, demonstrated at Maria Assumpta Cathedral, Owerri, to not only complain about the lack of security in the area, but also how their children mindlessly raped them.

The fear-stricken women equally refused to go home after the protest until their host, Archbishop Anthony J. V. Obinna, arranged police escort that helped them home.

GENERAL Overseer of House of Redemption International, Archbishop Kalu O. Kalu has called on Nigerians to pray without ceasing for the nation and its leaders, assuring that an end will soon come to all forms of anti-social upheavals in different parts of the country.
Specifally, Archbishop Kalu also predicted an end to Boko Haram menace in the North Eastern part of the country, arguing that it was politically motivated and since that purpose has been achieved there will naturally be a truce.
Speaking in an interview at the end of his church’s 4-day convention in Surulere, Lagos the cleric who established the HORI in 2009 after several years with St. Joseph’s Chosen Church of God, said Nigeria is passing through a phase, at the end of which the citizens will rejoice.
Theme of the convention was: ‘My day, my time, my season of turnaround.’
According to him, the current insurgency in parts of the North was organised for a political purpose, but now that that purpose has been achieved the backers of the dream will back off soon.
“If the insurgency ended immediately after the elections everybody in the country would have been left with no alternative than to believe the rumours that have been flying around,” adding “but for its end, it will end very soon.”
The Abia State-born cleric believes that Nigeria, as a nation, had been established by divine arrangement, noting that every attempt by individuals or groups to tear or balkanise the nation will come nought.
“This nation’s unity is by divine arrangement. Every nation goes through a phase and Nigeria is not an exception. Britain, America and all the developed nations of the world had gone their different phases and today, America is the most powerful nation of the world. Life is in phases and Nigeria is going through its own,” he explained.
He therefore enjoined every Nigerian to hold on to God. He argued that a nation that holds on to God will naturally be lifted up, lamenting that despite the upsurge of worship places in the country, there is no righteousness in our governance.

Chinese woman was in for a real shock last weekend when she tried to get money out of an ATM.

The unsuspecting 23-year-old, known as Xiao Liu, had been entering her PIN code into a cash machine in Xi'an, north west China, when a sudden surge of electricity left her needing hospital treatment.
The electric shock sent 200 volts around the woman's body. Humans can only handle 36 volts safely.

The electricity passed from Liu's hand to her body, leaving her right arm numb and sore.
Liu was forced to the floor by the impact of the shock at the China Everbright Bank.
She soon realised that she was bleeding and that the fingernails on her right thumb and ring finger were broken.
Her card had also been swallowed by the machine. 2AC2E42700000578-3171385-image-a-111_1437602379344
After recovering for a few minutes, the frightened woman then made her way to a local hospital for treatment.
A doctor wrapped up the injuries and has reassured Liu that the fingernails would grow back on their own.
However, the incident, which happened on Sunday evening, had a lasting impact on Liu whose work requires her to make phone calls and record clients' information.
Her injured right arm stopped her from typing properly and Liu was forced to take sick leave.
Mr Liu, an official from the China Everbright Bank apologised for the accident and said that the bank would compensate the woman by paying for her medical treatment.
He added that the ATM machine had been installed for more than a year and used electricity from the eye wear store where it was placed.
The bank's other two machines, which are based outside the eye wear shop, were also tested.
However, it was found that they did not transmit electricity.
The cause of the malfunction in currently unknown and the cash point is undergoing investigation.
The ATM has since been closed.

July 25, a group of ‘devil worshippers’ unveiled an 8-foot-tall statue of the Satanic Temple’s Baphomet in Detroit, the USA.

According to CBS Local, the event which sold tickets for $25 was sold-out.

Reports say that the event took place at an undisclosed industrial building downtown Detroit, with an estimated crowd of 700 people in attendance. The location was kept a secret because of the threat of religious protests. CBN News reports that the Satanic Temple had plans for a private event at a Detroit restaurant, but the owner canceled the group’s reservation after learning of what was planned. Bert Dearing, the owner of the restaurant, was quoted by Web Pro News: “When I rented the place, I just thought it was a church. I didn’t know about the unveiling of a statue. We weren’t aware they were into devil worshiping.”

Witnesses say that attendees were forced to clear two security checkpoints at separate locations before arriving.

However, opponent Matt Pearson, an executive producer of Church Militant, discovered the location at Chene Park in downtown Detroit.

According to a Fox News report, the “guests were washed in red light shining down from the rafters at the venue as “dark punk” bands played and DJs performed from a stage located beneath a lighted, upside-down crucifix. Satanic Temple officials delivered speeches and a pair of shirtless men held candles on either side of the statue, prior to its unveiling.”

A ‘no photography policy’ was passed at the event, but despite the decree, a six-second Vine has surfaced of the ‘great unveiling’. Meanwhile, the news has now gone viral, and some prominent Nigerians have begun to share it on tweets and Facebook statuses.

The Satanic Temple says it supports separation of church and state, hence the statue was meant for the state capitol in Oklahoma City until its Supreme Court banned a monument of the Ten Commandments.

Jex Blackmore, the director of the Satanic Temple Detroit chapter, said temple members planned to transport the sculpture to Arkansas, where earlier this year, the governor signed a bill authorizing a Ten Commandments monument on the State Capitol’s grounds.

The Temple had unsuccessfully applied to have the statue placed near the Ten Commandments monument installed in 2012 on the Oklahoma State Capitol grounds.
