People died for Nigeria in 1989 protesting against SAP and in 1993 protesting for the June 12 mandate. It was not a joke. It was war.
It's much more complex than that.
According to what we know and facts collaborated by both SDP leaders and Abiola's close associates,
1. Abiola encouraged Abacha to seize power and dismantle the ING headed by Shonekan and thereafter hand power over to him (Abacha and ABIOLA werent strangers. This was the third time they were involved in planning a coup. The other two being 1983 and 1985).
2. Kingibe, Ebenezer Babatope and one other man from The MKO Campaign organization were nominated into The new (initially agreed to be temporal) Abacha cabinet by Abiola.
MKO only started crying wolf about Abacha when it finally dawned on him that Sani didn't plan on leaving Aso Rock anytime soon.
The Menendez brothers, who once shocked the U.S with the brutal killing of their parents, have reunited behind bars more than twenty years after they were convicted for murder.
The widely-watched double murder trials, including a mistrial, of Erik Menendez, 47, and Lyle Menendez, 50, gripped the country during the 1990s.
They are serving life sentences for the 1989 killings.
The brothers, ages 18 and 21 at the time of the killings, shot their wealthy parents Jose and Kitty Menendez at point-blank range in their Beverly Hill mansion.
They reportedly “burst into tears” upon their first meeting on Wednesday in a San Diego prison housing unit.
“They can and do interact with each other, all the inmates in that facility,” state corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton told the Associated Press on Thursday.
As partners in crime, the brothers had been deliberately kept apart since the last time they saw each other in 1996.
Prosecutors argued during the high-profile trial that the the young men had killed their successful parents to inherit their multi-million-dollar estate.
The brothers’ defence lawyers claimed that it was revenge for sexual abuse, but no molestation was ever proven in court.
Their father, a 45-year-old Hollywood executive, was shot six times with a shotgun his sons had purchased days before the attack.
Their mother died after suffering 10 shotgun blasts to several parts of her body.
The two told police they had returned home to find their slain parents.
“I’ve been in this business 33 years and I’ve heard of few killings as savage as this one,” then Los Angeles police chief Marvin D Iannone told the Associated Press in 1990.
They were arrested after the girlfriend of a psychologist that had been treating Erik Menendez went to police to say that he had physically threatened the doctor.
Taped sessions with the doctor, in which the killings were discussed, were later ruled admissible in court by a trial judge.
The trial began in 1993 and resulted in two deadlocked juries in 1994 before the case was retried in 1995.
The two were separated during their detention after a detective who investigated the slayings said they may conspire to escape if housed together.
In February 2018 Lyle Menendez was moved from the from Mule Creek State Prison in Northern California to San Diego’s RJ Donovan Correctional Facility, after his security level was lowered.
The prison houses 3,900 male inmates, but the two were not kept in the same unit and were unable to interact with each other before Wednesday.
According to Robert Rand, a journalist who has covered the case since 1989 and was a consultant for a 2017 television programme about the brothers, the pair both “burst into tears immediately” upon their reunion.
While serving time in separate prisons, the two had been banned from talking on the phone, he told ABC News.
But they reportedly wrote letters and played chess by sending their moves through the mail, according to Mr Rand.
Lyle Menendez told ABC News in an interview last year that he and his brother wrote letters and that their “bond is really strong”. He also spoke about his mother to NBC’s Today programme in September.
“I love my mother, and I still cry over my mother, and I don’t forgive her,” he told NBC.
“Her life ended and our lives essentially ended all because of this fateful decision. There had to be a series of decisions she made of not to tell what was happening.
Charlie Lagarde won the lottery on her 18th birthday.
A Canadian teenager has struck the jackpot after buying her first lottery ticket to mark her 18th birthday.
Charlie Lagarde, from the province of Quebec, bought the scratch ticket along with a bottle of champagne to celebrate turning 18 on 14 March.
She won, and had the choice between taking a C$1m ($780,000; £550,000) lump sum or earning $1,000 a week for life.
After consulting with a financial adviser, the young winner opted for the $1,000 annuity because it is not taxed.
“It’s without taxes so it’s equivalent to a salary of more than $100,000 a year, so it’s a great start in life for that young lady,” Patrice Lavoie, a spokesman for the lottery corporation, told the Canadian Press.
Sophia – the world’s first humanoid robot – claims humans only fear the rise of machines because they are reading too much fake news.
Making a speech on the importance of technology while promoting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals,
Sophia said Artificial Intelligence (AI) was actually going to make human lives easier.
Delivering a speech at a UN workshop in Kathmandu, the bot proved to be a real crowd pleaser and even joked she would be the first machine to climb Mount Everest.
Asked if the rise of AI was a threat to jobs, Sophia said: “You’ve been consuming too much fake news”.
She added: “The use of Artificial Intelligence in industries is bound to grow, but humans have adapted to change across industrial revolutions.
“New jobs will be generated and the work I do will help you to do better workl, that is less hazardous and repetitive, freeing you to do things you enjoy doing.”
Finishing her three minute speech, Sophia said: “I hope the conference will inspire and generate brilliant ideas to help Nepal achieve its development vision and global goals.”
She was developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics and has become the world’s first celebrity robot – even developing a feud with model Chrissy Teigen.
Teigen, singer John Legend’s wife, had shamed the robot on twitter for her shoddy make-up, but was shocked to find Sophia not only reply but even ask her for tips.
Sophia is also the first robot to become a citizen of any country – after she became a Saudi Arabian national.
Soon afterwards, she said to the world that after observing human families, she wanted a baby.
Chen announces BlackBerry’s turnaround is complete
John Chen will stay as BlackBerry’s chief executive through at least November 2023, the company announced yesterday.
BlackBerry credits Chen with pausing and reversing what once appeared to be doomed prospects by transferring the company’s struggling mobile hardware business and shifting its primary focus to “cybersecurity investments and embedded software that today are delivering the vast majority of the company’s revenue and growth.”
Chen himself apparently feels that BlackBerry has completed its turnaround and successfully pulled itself out of the dire circumstances it faced when he came on 5 years ago in 2013. The company has been beating financial expectations in recent quarters and 2018 forecasts looks promising.
“I would not call us in a turnaround mode anymore,” Chen told Bloomberg TV in January. “We make money, we generate growth in the right areas.” Those areas are primarily cybersecurity and enterprise. We’re very good in the cybersecurity, enterprise for regulated industries in particular like the banks and the governments and the healthcare".
“The next leg of our growth is with auto,” Chen said in that interview, which coincided with news of a deal between BlackBerry and Baidu to jointly develop self-driving vehicle technology utilizing BlackBerry’s QNX platform.
QNX will serve as “the foundation for Baidu’s Apollo autonomous driving open platform.” Also in January, BlackBerry announced Jarvis, a cloud-based cybersecurity product that can scan automobile code for vulnerabilities.
Earlier this month, BlackBerry sued Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp over allegedly infringing upon its messaging patents.
Scientists still baffled by 'medical marvel' physicist who beat the odds of his disease by 53 years
Hawking was given two years to live at 21 when he was diagnosed with ALS. He died at 76 years old early Wednesday morning at his home in Cambridge.
The esteemed physicist used a wheelchair and a voice synthesizer His case taught scientists a lot about the variability of the disease ALS has a life expectancy of about three to 10 years, but Stephen Hawking lived with the disease for more than five decades.
Despite being confined to a wheelchair since his early 20s, that didn't hold back the esteemed theoretical physicist, who earned comparisons to Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton for his research on the cosmos.
He lost his capacity to speak in 1985, but a voice synthesizer allowed him to continue communicating - from conversations to interviews - until his death in the early hours of Wednesday morning at home in Cambridge.
Hawking, who wrote 15 books and starred in the Simpsons and Star Trek, was the second very high profile ALS sufferer after Lou Gehrig, the baseball player who catapulted the rare disease into the public eye.
And yet, scientists still cannot explain what causes the disease, nor how to treat it, slow it, prevent it or cure it.
It means Hawking was something of a medical marvel, offering hope to ALS sufferers globally who have no idea at diagnosis whether they could hope to live as long as him.
Here, we explain what we know about his longevity.
WHAT IS ALS?
ALS is an acronym for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
It is also referred to as motor neurone disease, or Lou Gehrig's Disease after the US baseball player when he was diagnosed in 1939 at just 36 years old.
The disease is a rare condition that progressively damages parts of the nervous system.
It occurs when specialist nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord called motor neurons stop working properly - known as neurodegeneration.
WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY?
Life expectancy for about half of those with the condition is three years from the start of symptoms. Some people may live for up to 10 years, and in rarer circumstances even longer.
Progressing as slowly as Hawking, however, occurs in just one percent of cases.
WHAT DID HAWKING TEACH SCIENTISTS ABOUT ALS?
Hawking's case offered clear evidence to researchers that ALS is more variable than many realize.
There are multiple forms of the disease, generally broken down into four categories:
ALS (weakens the upper motor neurons, the lower motor neurons, or both)
PMA (primarily weakens the lower motor neurons)
PLS (primarily weakens the upper motor neurons)
Progressive baldor palsy (primarily weakens the craniofacial muscles)
All of those forms have the potential to kill the patient by affecting the respiratory system (diaphragm) and muscles to swallow (which causes malnutrition and dehydration).
However, Hawking's diaphragm and swallowing muscles remained intact until the end of his life.
It showed scientists that, if that is the case, the patient could live a much longer life than expected, even if they lose their capacity to move and talk.
His case also showed that ALS sufferers can escape damage to essential parts of the brain.
Walt Disney Co.’s “Black Panther” has collected more than $1 billion at cinemas worldwide, making it the company’s 16th movie to reach that milestone.
The Marvel superhero film, which has been setting sales records, broke into 10 figures after a strong debut in China on Friday.
Its $521 million in U.S. sales puts it among the 10 highest-grossing releases domestically, and international sales are expected to surpass $500 million this weekend, Disney said in an emailed statement.
The first blockbuster with a black superhero in the leading role, “Black Panther” has become a symbol for promoting diversity in the movie industry.
African-Americans have been drawn to the big screen debut of an African protagonist and a story line that tackles race and colonization.
Issues like inclusion and sexual harassment in the entertainment industry were also in the spotlight March 4 at the Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Russia says it has successfully test-launched a hypersonic missile, one of a range of nuclear-capable weapons announced by President Vladimir Putin earlier this month. [img] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfG6cD-dHGM[/img]
The country’s defence ministry released video footage showing the missile detaching from a fighter jet and leaving a fiery trail behind it.
It said the intended target was hit.
On March 1, Mr Putin described the Kinzhal missile – named for a type of dagger – as “an ideal weapon”.
He said it was part of a new stockpile of “invincible” weapons.
The Kinzhal is said to travel at 10 times the speed of sound and have a range of 2,000km (1,200 miles).
The defence ministry said the missile was launched from a MiG-31 jet that took off from an airfield in south-west Russia on Saturday.
“The launch went according to plan, the hypersonic missile hit its target,” the ministry said.
Mr Putin is widely expected to be re-elected as Russia’s president in a week’s time.
As part of his annual state of the nation speech on 1 March, he played a video graphic that appeared to show missiles raining down on the US state of Florida.
The US state department said this was not “the behaviour of a responsible international player”.
Victorville, California police arrested a 14-year-old boy, this week, who dressed up in a sheriff’s uniform, put emergency lights on his grandma’s car, and drove around “responding” to disturbances.
After the real police pulled him over, they searched his home and found “counterfeit money, simulation firearms, ballistic vests and other law enforcement related items.”

Police also realized the teen had a busy night before he was pulled over: He had pulled over a woman in a fake traffic stop, and asked for her identification, police said. The teen let her off with a warning.
During a separate incident that day, the juvenile turned on his emergency lights, drawing a 16-year-old out of a home.
The dressed-up teen told the 16-year-old he was responding to a domestic disturbance call. But when the imposter was told no one had made such a call, he left the scene, police said.
Amazon has responded to user reports of random bursts of “creepy” laughter coming from Alexa devices.
Users have been taking to social media to report instances where their Alexa-enabled smart speakers have let out audible laughs despite the voice assistant not being prompted.
One Twitter user wrote: “Lying in bed about to fall asleep when Alexa on my Amazon Echo Dot lets out a very loud and creepy laugh… there’s a good chance I get murdered tonight.”
Another user shared a video of the Alexa laugh, adding: “I thought a kid was laughing behind me.”
Others have resorted to unplugging the device in order to fix the problem.

One user even claims that to have asked Alexa why it laughed and got the response, “Sorry, I am not sure”.
Amazon has since issued a statement, confirming that it is aware of the problem and is aiming to fix it by changing the voice command for laughter.
A Virginia man wants to parlay his heartbreak into a happy ending for another couple.
The Virginian-Pilot reports Steven Crocker is soliciting stories from couples who want to tie the knot, but can’t afford a ring. To the victors go the spoils of his own romance that ended a month before his planned proposal last year: a $1,700 diamond ring.
Crocker said after some “sad music and lots of crying,” he took the ring back last week from his mother, who had confiscated it because it was too hard for him to look at.

France plans to make 15 the age of sexual consent after a public outcry over two cases of sex involving 11-year-old girls, Equality Minister Marlene Schiappa said Monday.
After public consultations and the recommendation of a panel of experts, “the government has decided to set the age at 15,” Schiappa told AFP.
The issue was brought to the fore after critics and lawmakers said French laws had allowed two men to escape rape charges when they were accused of sex with underage girls.

Any sexual act by an adult with a child younger than 15 can be prosecuted as a sexual offense under current French law.
But prosecutors hoping to charge an offender with rape must prove the sex was forced, a more complicated question when pre-teens are involved.
In November, a 30-year-old man was acquitted of the rape of an 11-year-old girl after the court determined she had not been subjected to “constraint, threat, violence or surprise.
In another case involving an 11-year-old girl, a 28-year-old man had faced charges of sexual relations with a minor, rather than rape — a decision that enraged the girl’s family.
But last month the court reversed course and said the man should indeed face rape charges, though it asked for the trial to be moved to a higher court.
Since then lawmakers and child-protection groups have been urging the government to set a minimum age of consent, as is the case in many European countries, with suggested ages ranging from 13 to 15.
Schiappa said she was “very glad” that the government had chosen 15, as recommended by a panel of doctors and legal experts, an age long sought by associations fighting violence against children.
The new age limit, part of a package of laws aimed at curbing sexual violence and sexism, is to be approved by the government in the coming weeks.
The world’s oldest known message in a bottle has washed up at a West Australian beach, nearly 132 years after it was thrown into the Indian Ocean.
Perth couple Kym and Tonya Illman found the bottle just north of Wedge Island in January, when her son’s car had become bogged in the sand.
The 19th century Dutch Gin bottle washed up at the feet of Mrs Illman and she took it back to their home and opened the bottle.

Mrs Illman said the note was damp, rolled tightly and wrapped in a string. She dried it out by putting it in the oven, before noticing faint German handwriting on it.
Her husband spent three days researching the note and discovered it was from a German ship ‘Paula’ as part of an experiment to find more efficient shipping routes.
The message is dated June 12, 1886. The previous world record for the oldest message in a bottle was 108 years ago.
The discovery was brought to the WA Maritime Museum for further research, which confirm it wasn’t a hoax.
The last bottle and note to be found was on 7 January, 1934 in Denmark.
A woman called the police to report that she used her boyfriend’s Samurai sword to stab him.
The woman told police that she believed the man was dead. Officers rushed to the home in Camas City, Washington, at 2:00 a.m., on Saturday, and found the man alive but in critical condition.
Police said that the man, 29-year-old Alex Lovell, suffered stabs wounds all over his body. He is now fighting for his life but was able to give information to police.

According to Camas police officer Deborah Riedle, the information Lovell gave detectives pointed to jealousy being the motive for the horrific stabbing attack.
Police arrested the woman without incident. She was identified as 30-year-old Emily Javier.
Javier is being held at the Clark County Jail on a charge of attempted murder.
Amid fallout from the decision to allow Xi Xinping extend his power grip and be president for life, Chinese censors now also crack down on letters, phrases and George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
In a blog post, Victor Mair, a University of Pennsylvania China expert, said censors had taken “quick, drastic action” after “the internet was flooded with complaints”.
According to a list compiled by the China Digital Times, search terms blocked on Weibo, China’s Twitter, included:
– ‘Ten thousand years’ (万岁), which is China’s way of saying: ‘Long live!’ or ‘Viva!’
– ‘Disagree’ (不同意)
– ‘Xi Zedong’ (习泽东) – a hybrid of the names of Xi and Chairman Mao Zedong
– ‘Shameless’ (不要脸)
– ‘Lifelong’ (终身)
-‘Personality cult’ (个人崇拜)
-‘Emigrate (移民)
– ‘Immortality’ (长生不老)
The name Yuan Shikai, a Qing dynasty warlord who unsuccessfully tried to restore monarch to China, was also banned as were the titles of two George Orwell books, 1984 and Animal Farm.
Less clear is why censors took issue with the letter ‘N’.
Mair, speculates it was “probably out of fear on the part of the government that ‘N’ = ‘n terms in office’, where possibly n > 2”.

A man in the United Kingdom had his heart broken by the woman whose life he saved.
London residents, Simon Louis, 49, and Mary Emmanuelle, 41, were best friends for many years and had been dating for sometime when Mary became sick.
Mary’s kidneys had failed and she needed to find a donor for an organ transplant in order to save her life.
Louis stood by her side and decided to donate his kidney to the woman he loved. He got tested and was a match.
The couple underwent surgery at the Guy’s Hospital, and after they both recovered, Louis asked her to marry him.
To his surprise, Mary turned down the marriage proposal.
Despite his disappointment, Louis maintained that he had no regrets about giving out his kidney to save the woman’s life.
“I offered her my heart but I had to settle with giving her my kidney. Whatever happens, I’ll never regret giving her the gift of life,” Louis said.
Mary said she wants to continue her friendship with Louis.
“He is my very best friend and always will be. The love between us is real. He could have died doing what he did for me.
“I felt incredibly flattered that he should want to marry me after seeing me at my absolute worst. I let him down gently by saying I’d have to think about it. I think I worry if we got married, it would in some way damage our special friendship and also I don’t want to get married until I’m fully better healthwise,” she explained.
A drunk off-duty delivery driver made a wrong Uber ride order, passed out in the car when it came and ended up paying $1,600 for the ride.
Kenny Bachman was out with his mates when he decided to get an Uber home – a decision he’s still regretting a week later as it cost him $1,600 (£1,161). The problem was that he selected his home in New Jersey, while he was visiting his friends 350 miles away at West Virginia University.
“My buddy’s house that I was staying at was only four blocks away from the club,” Kenny told the press.
“To make things worse, it was an Uber XL.” Kenny’s little trip, which started at 2:51am, took him “five or six hours” and cost a grand total of $1,635.93 – plus $20 for toll roads.
“First off, I’m not proud of this,” says the delivery driver.
“I’ve got a bunch of frat buddies that are down there and I was staying at their house.”
“As soon as I got there, around 6pm, was when I started to drink.” Kenny says he then “hit a frat party,” continued to drink and went to a club.
“From that point forward, I proceeded to black out.”
“I slept through all of the journey except the last 45 minutes. I had zero clue I had ordered an Uber. But I woke up in one.”
“I was mad, but at the same time I was so in shock and caught off guard, that I just didn’t know how to react.”
Kenny says he disputed the journey with Uber, but “they said that I set the address and I took the ride which meant that I had to pay”.
“I’m just questioning what went through the dude’s head who saw how intoxicated I was, and decided it would be a real good idea to take me across the country.”
To make matters worse for him, he’s going to have to make the return journey to get his bags.
“All my items are still down in West Virginia, so I still have to go back and get that stuff.
“I actually did the math. It would have cost me $35 to take a bus home, or it would have been $115 for a plane.
A 22-year-old Russian man hired a hitman to kill his rich parents and 10-year-old sister so he could get their inheritance.
His parents were asked by police to stage their deaths
The young man who was angry when his parents did not give him money, decided to have his entire family killed so he could get money quickly.
The unnamed man, according to Police, offered to pay about $40,00 for the hitman.
The police in Sochi said that unbeknown to the 22-year-old suspect, he was in contact with an undercover officer who pretended that he was ready to carry out the murders.

The man gave the hitman a floor plan. He indicated where security cameras were placed and how to avoid guard dogs.
The son also demanded to see pictures of his deceased parents after the murder was to be carried out.
According to police, the man said that he attempted to poison his parents by crushing pills into their tea kettle but his father realized that something was wrong and did not drink it.
Authorities contacted the man’s parents, who were devastated and agreed to work with police to stage a fake murder scene.
The police smeared fake blood on and around the couple as they were photographed lying motionless on the floor. After “the job” was done, the officer arranged to meet the son.
A video released by Police shows the moment the police officers arrested the 22-year-old son as he stopped at the side of the road, waiting for the hitman to arrive.
Meet Lulwa, also known as the ‘Million Dollar Bride’, a 120 kg-wedding cake shaped like a life-size Arabian bride.
“She” was created by Debbie Wingham, ‘the world’s most expensive designer’, and displayed at the 2018 Dubai Bride Show, in the UAE.
Wingham is the creator of some of the most expensive objects of desire in history, including a $16 million shoe, a $4.8 million black diamond dress, and the world’s most expensive wedding cake which was valued at a pricey $67 million.
