YourNemesis:
It is true. For those who don’t believe it happened in Nigeria.
The Forests of Ogun and Ondo state are one of the few places left in all West Africa where elephants still exist and roam in the wild.

These are forest elephants, which were once thought to be the same with their savannah cousins on eastern and southern Africa. But upon further investigation and grnomic prifiling, have been found to be a different species with subtle differences.

Unfortunately, I am sad and very much frightened that they are now beung seen by everyday people- knowing the kind of country this is.

I cherish your knowledge with regards to this issue. I guess you are in the wildlife field. Please, what can you do or what strings can you pull to make sure these animals are preserved? These are endangered national treasure. We need to call government attention to the existence of these animals in our forest so that they can act to preserve them. I am apprehensive that now that the villagers have spotted those elephants, and are now aware that they have elephants in their neighborhood, some of the villagers will hunt them down and use them for meat.

I pretty much doubt if it's in Nigeria cos the poster himself cannot even tell us where this happened.

Why don't you watch the video

Opinedecandid:
Wow!

I did academic, academic, academic.
And I am not earning this much.

My children will do a little of academic, more of music, much of sports.

Please don't decide for them. While you will need to guide them, don't make the mistake of predetermining their career.

I will suggest you look for two people to confide in; first a person close to the woman and secondly a person close to the man.

You are very wrong on this sir. Doing this will damage a home. The reality is that it will backfire. If he told two people as you suggested, the whole world has been told, that's the bitter truth. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Save this quote for when electoral college votes won't save Trump's ass in 2020. Remember you heard it here first, Trump will not win.

Trump will not only win, he will even win more states that hitherto vote Democrats. Mark my words

themonk:
Which ones exactly?
Or are you brainwashed by his tweets too?

Did the Mexicans pay for the wall?
Or did he make America great again.
Funny how people believe this racist, he helped release ASAP Rocky because he wants to make it look like he is a fan of black people and because election is next year and then insults Africa and you people would lick his arse.

Yes, he has made America great again. That you don't like him does not make him a racist. As regards the issue of fulfilment of his campaign promises, you were not honest in your conclusion. While it is true that Mexico has not paid for the wall, what about other promises such as the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and his promise to impose tariff on imports from China in order to address the trade deficit to China. You may not like the fulfilment of these promises, but he fulfilled them anyway. You deliberately mentioned the promise he has not yet fulfilled, while you maliciously failed to mention the ones he has fulfilled.

Trump did not help ASAP because election is next year. President Donald Trump took a keen interest in the case following a lobbying effort from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and I am sure you are aware of that. Kim and Kanye have been using Jared to lobby for the release of Black prisoners since Trump came to office, and Trump has been responding positively. The truth is that Trump does not need Black votes to win the White House. We may not like to hear it, but that's the bitter truth. Anyone who thinks that the block votes Obama got from Black Americans was what put him in the White House is seriously delusional. Despite the changing demographics, the reality is that White voters still determine who occupies the White House, and nobody knows this fact better than the Black guy who defeated a White man to win the White House, Barak Obama. Obama won simply because White voters broke for him big and Obama himself knows this.

Sir, here is a bitter truth. Donald Trump will be easily re-elected in 2020 no matter the lies peddled against him. Mark my words.

harhole:
This man wicked o; you want make he rot for jail?

You don't understand. Trump had been fighting for his release since he was arrested. He was using the tweet to celebrate his release, he's not criticizing it

mykelswa:
Definition of a president. In as much as some in the USA doesn't like him for claiming his a racist

You are mistakenly taking the liberal left and the Democrats as the whole USA. Despite what you see on social media and stations such as CNN, Trump is still loved by millions of Americans. In 2020, a lot of people outside America will be shocked the way Donald Trump will be easily re-elected by the Americans they claim hate him.

One wonders how many of these bootlegs would have landed in Nigeria.

If you built an aircraft, you are not faking it. You actually built your technology and it is not a crime. What made the Brazilians' bootlegs to be called fake was because they named it another company's brand name

Police said the father and son sold the fake Ferraris and Lamborghinis through social media.

Police in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina have raided a clandestine factory manufacturing bootleg luxury vehicles.

Officials from the Santa Catarina Civil Police's Investigative Unit seized eight semi-assembled replicas of Ferraris and Lamborghinis in Monday's raid, according to a police press release.

The factory was found in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil.

Police said the replicas were being offered through social media for between 180,000 Brazilian reals ($48,000) and 250,000 Brazilian reals ($66,000), a fraction of the list price for an original vehicle. According to motoring website motor1.com, the starting price for a Ferrari is around $215,000.

Tools, molds, fibers and frames used to manufacture the cars were also seized during the raid, police said.

The shop was owned by a father and son, who were both arrested and face criminal charges for falsifying commercial property. The pair are thought to be the largest manufacturers of bootleg luxury vehicles in Brazil.

Tools, molds, fibers and frames were also seized in the raid.

The investigation began when Ferrari and Lamborghini representatives contacted the Santa Catarina Civil Police.

Fake supercars are not unique to Brazil.

In 2010, a Thai man shot to fame for his ability to build replica Ferraris, Porsches and Aston Martins.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that a junior wife of the ruler of Dubai, who also serves as vice president and prime minister of the UAE, has fled the country and is seeking asylum in Europe. UAE officials have yet to comment on the reports.

Princess Haya bint Hussein, one of the six wives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has allegedly run away with her 7-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter, according to the Daily Beast.

Princess Haya, 45, who is the daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan, is said to have initially fled to Germany, taking nearly $40 million with her to start a new life.

The princess, who was last seen in public in May, requested asylum and Germany has approved her application “in principle”, the Daily Beast reports citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

Berlin is alleged to have turned down a request from Sheikh Maktoum to bring his wife back to Dubai – a move that could potentially cause a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

It is claimed that she is currently hiding at a secret location in London. Her social media accounts have been inactive since February.

Princess Haya is also reported to be seeking a divorce from her royal husband. They married in 2004 and she has been photographed alongside Sheikh Maktoum at events in the UAE and abroad.

The princess has been engaged in charity work and has served as goodwill ambassador for the World Food Programme and the Organisation for Animal Health.

There has been no immediate confirmation from the UAE or Germany about the reports.

Last March, it was widely reported that Princess Latifa, the daughter of the Dubai ruler and his another wife, tried to escape from the country but was caught on a vessel in the Indian Ocean and returned home.

Princess Latifa complained of mistreatment at home in a pre-recorded video, but in late 2018 the UAE’s Foreign Ministry released photos of Her Highness meeting in Dubai with Mary Robinson, an erstwhile High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The ministry said in a communique that it denied “false allegations” about the princess and that “Mary Robinson was reassured that Sheikha Latifa is receiving the necessary care and support she requires”.

Despite all d criticisms and crazy leadership style, Trump is actually doing a whole right

Exactly, the guy has the right instict

The leaders shook hands on the North Korean side of the DMZ, making Trump the first sitting American president to ever set foot in the hermit state, before crossing together to south side and shaking hands again.

Kim said this was "an expression of his willingness" to work toward a new future.

Trump made the surprise announcement hours earlier of his intention to meet Kim at the Joint Security Area patrolled by soldiers from both Koreas near the inter-Korean border.

U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un extended warm invitations to one another on Sunday, exchanging lofty visions for the future as they met at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas.

The leaders shook hands on the North Korean side of the DMZ, making Trump the first sitting American president to ever set foot in the hermit state, before crossing together to the South Korean side and shaking hands again.

"It's a great honor to be here," Trump said, adding, "I feel great." Upon leaving closed-door talks with Kim, he described the meeting as "very, very good."
Kim said this was "an expression of his willingness" to work toward a new future.

While the two spoke of reconciliation and diplomatic progress, Trump said that U.S. sanctions on the country over its nuclear weapons and missile development programs would stay for now. The leaders agreed to designate a team to work out the details of future negotiations, Trump said, adding that the U.S. team would be headed by Washington's nuclear envoy Stephen Biegun and that work would begin "over the next two or three weeks."

The sticking point between the historical adversaries has long been the issue of denuclearization, a term whose definition the two countries can't seem to agree on. Washington wants Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons, while Kim and his predecessors view the term to mean broader concessions from the U.S., including the removal of its troops from the Korean peninsula.

Trump made the surprise announcement just hours earlier of his intention to meet Kim at the Joint Security Area patrolled by soldiers from both Koreas near the inter-Korean border. Sunday also marks the first meeting between American and North Korean heads of state at the historic border since a cease-fire was signed ending the Korean War in 1953.

The meeting, which comes on the tails of the G-20, is the third between the two leaders in just over a year. The most recent, in Hanoi, Vietnam in February, collapsed due to disagreements over U.S. sanctions on Pyongyang.

An invitation to the White House

The U.S. president said he invited Kim to the White House during their private talks Sunday, while the two agreed to visit one another's countries "at the right time."

"I would invite him right now to the White House," Trump said, to which the North Korean leader responded that it would be a great honor if Trump visited Pyongyang. Kim expressed his desire to "leave behind the past and move toward the future," according to Reuters.

"It's a great day for the world," Trump said, adding that he was proud to step over the border line. "The world is watching. It's very important to the world," he said, before stepping into private talks with Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Moon joined both leaders shortly after he and Trump visited a guard post in the northernmost part of the South Korean side of the DMZ.

Kim lauded the positive relationship between the leaders, saying that Sunday's meeting would have been "impossible" without "the great relationship between us," Reuters reported. Moon echoed Kim's words, attributing what he called a historic meeting to Trump's "bold move."

The Trump administration, like several U.S. administrations before it, is endeavoring to put an end to North Korea's nuclear program. The reclusive country has carried out several nuclear weapons tests in recent years and developed long-range missiles capable of hitting targets thousands of miles away.

Trump appears to have established a personal camaraderie with the North Korean strongman and has voiced optimism about potential for an agreement, though physical progress on the dismantling of the North's nuclear facilities has yet to be seen. U.S. intelligence agencies earlier this year reported that North Korea has begun rebuilding key missile testing facilities for its intercontinental ballistic missile program, reversing a prior moratorium on missile development that Trump had hailed as a foreign policy success after his first meeting with Kim in Singapore in June of 2018.

Good Morning Nairalanders!

I finished my national youth service in 2015 and was couldn't get a job until last year that I decide to open a business, and as God will have it the business has been growing.

Now I am in a dilemma between accepting a police job (note, it's not a graduate level position) and growing my business.

I don't want to reject the job and regret later and I also do not want to accept the job and wish I didn't.
Those in the know should tell me how easy it is to be upgraded to a graduate level position after entering with O'level and how a constable earns.

Thanks.

Brother, please and please, don't make the mistake of accepting the Police job. Focus on growing your business. You can become a billionaire from that business, something that is almost impossible as a Police recruit.

Calling of the strike against the life of a hundred and fifty people, very great step to peace. At least, the 150 people are not the one that shot down the drone. Some leaders and their military chief are just wicked, you start something that will end the life others that knows nothing about what you started.

I agree with you. It's good that he allowed reason to prevail over emotions

US President, Donald Trump in a tweet on Friday morning, confirmed that he autorized retaliatory military strikes on Iran after Iran shot down a US Navy surveillance drone on Thursday. He said that the US was "cocked and loaded", but then abruptly reversed decision 10 minutes before bombs fell on Iran, because a General projected that 150 people would be killed. Trump says it was too large of a response since no Americans were killed.

fani-kayode our former plane crash minister .

You made a mistake. There was no plane crash during Fani Kayode's brief stint as aviation minister. All the plane crashes that happened during Obasanjo's incumbency as President happened during Kema Chikwe and Babalola Borishade's stints as ministers. Fani Kayode was Obasanjo's media assistant at that time. It was when Obasanjo was trying to put things in place due to the seemingly incessant plane crashes at that time, that he appointed Fani Kayode as aviation minister. From the day Fani Kayode was appointed aviation minister to his last day in office, there was no single plane crash.

President Donald Trump raked in nearly $25 million in campaign contributions for his re-election effort in less than 24 hours, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee said Wednesday.

“@realDonaldTrump has raised a record breaking $24.8M in less than 24 hours for his re-election,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote on Twitter, hours after the president formally launched his 2020 bid the previous evening with a rally in Orlando, Fla.


“The enthusiasm across the country for this President is unmatched and unlike anything we’ve ever seen! #trump2020 #KeepAmericaGreat,” McDaniel continued.

McDaniel did not specify the exact timing of Trump's haul, but if it represents a first-day fundraising total for the campaign, his $24.8 million would nearly quadruple the $6.3 million former Vice President Joe Biden raked in within his initial 24 hours as an announced 2020 White House contender.

Biden, the frontrunner to face Trump in the general election, had topped the expansive field of Democratic presidential hopefuls in first-day contributions. Other leading fundraisers included former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who collected $6.1 million, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who collected $5.9 million, and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who collected $1.5 million.

Trump re-upped McDaniel’s announcement Wednesday, writing on Twitter: “THANK YOU! #Trump2020.”

Brad Parscale, the president’s 2020 campaign manager, also chimed in online to gloat, re-posting McDaniel’s tweet with the message: “Crushing the competition! #Winning.”

Fifteen years after the last flight of the Concorde, American aerospace startup company, Boom Supersonic, has unveiled its plan to bring back supersonic flight to commercial air travel by building the world’s fastest civil aircraft.

At the ongoing Paris Air Show 2019, the founder of Boom Supersonic, Blake Scholl, announced that his company is designing a 55-passenger supersonic transport airplane that could fly twice the speed of sound. Boom Supersonic projects that its aircraft will make it possible to fly from London to New York in three hours, 15 minutes. Boom says it has a mission to change the way we travel.

Blake Scholl says that new technologies will allow SUPERSONIC flight to be accessible to millions of people "in a way that is economically and environmentally sustainable." The company has raised $141 million to build the Mach 2.2 supersonic airliner, called Overture. Would you like to fly supersonic?

THE FUTURE IS SUPERSONIC!

Sir, in dreams and vain imaginations lol?

President Trump puts his autograph up top when 15 world leaders sign a D-Day proclamation at a ceremony in Portsmouth, England.

Other world leaders put their signatures at the bottom of the document. Trump knew who he was and decided not to follow the flow. He dared to be different and he put his signature atop the paper.I found this inspiring. The way to change the world, or at least your world, is to dare to be different. When you dare to be different, you step out of the mold, and you make space for your creative twists. When you dare to be different, sometimes you stand alone. But alone is where your unique creative contribution can thrive. Wherever you are, in whatever you are doing, be conscious of your exceptionalism and don't be afraid to display it (I am not saying you should be haughty). Donald Trump is conscious of his exceptionalism and he is not afraid to show it.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE SHEPHERD’S HOUSE ASSEMBLY INTERNATIONAL INC.

We woke up to the sad news of the demise of one of our members, in the early hours of Wednesday the 15th day of May, 2019. This news did not only destabilize the psychological disposition of our sensibilities, but also evoked mixed feelings as to why the incident took place.

We capture this moment to commiserate with the family of Chaplain General, Arowosaiye John Dele and his dear wife and the entire family on the painful demise of their Son, whom they invested a lot on. God will definitely give you the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable and irreparable loss.

The attention of the Church however, has been drawn particularly to the reactions, moments and positions ventilated on various forms of the social media in respect of the demise of Michael Arowosaiye. We feel obliged to hereby state the facts as we know, to lay to rest doubts, questions, queries and ambiguities in the minds of our loved ones and the general public.

1. STATUS OF THE DECEASED TO THE CHURCH.
The deceased, Michael Arowosaiye joined the church in 2017 and was appointed to lead the second choir (Sacred Vessels) of the Shepherd’s House Assembly, Apo in 2017 after he was found qualified to lead a choir of that magnitude. His appointment came after about a month of probation, by the General Overseer, Rev. Dr. Joshua Talena. He went through the foundation school of membership and fulfilled the basic requirements of membership of the church. He was neither a Pastor nor ordained worker in church. He was a leader of one of the departments in Church. He performed his duties well up until last year when reports of inordinate behaviors by him, trooped in. Like the General Overseer would always say, “the church is not a perfect place, but a place where imperfect persons are moulded into the perfect ways of God”, The Church authority through the Church Management Committee (CMC) drew his attention to the various reports that came against him. He was reprimanded twice and a third time, given a final letter of warning that disciplinary action would be taken against him if such reports were received again in that regard.

2. SUSPENSION FROM LEADERSHIP ROLE.
Early this year, it was reported that other incidences of misconducts were perpetrated by him. The CMC ( which is the highest decision making body of the church) invited him for further questioning. He admitted to all the allegations and also confirmed all the evidences against him which were overwhelmingly convincing. The evidences were WhatsApp chats between him and the some persons who later left the church because they were disappointed that their leader would indulge in such behavior.
Consequent upon the finding of the CMC in the matter of the misbehavior by Michael Arowosaiye, he was TEMPORARILY RELIEVED from playing a leadership role in the Sacred Vessels for a period of three months, which commenced through a letter dated the 17th day of march, 2019 to elapse on the 19th day of May, 2019. (Reduced to two months by the General Overseer).
We wish to state here categorically that he was still engaged in other aspects of service to God, even in choir, but just not leading the choir for that temporary period. The Church also felt that he should use the time of the relief from leadership duties to reflect on his life, make a change and then continue with his plans for life. So the church stood by him, appointed two Elders from the CMC to mentor, counsel and provide effective spiritual and career guidance to him through the period.

3. MARRIAGE PLANS.
The Church Management Committee did not suspend the marriage of the deceased at any particular moment. The deceased had approached the Senior Pastor on two different ocassions late last year, 2018, to purport to introduce his would-be wife. The General Overseer refered him to the Marriage Committee as the regulation of the church is. He did not for one day, attend any marriage class nor enrol in the class. He rather went later on two other separate Ocassions to the General Overseer, to express regrets about marrying the said lady who was in another department in church. Out of frustration the lady left the church and travelled to Lagos to recover from the pain and disappointment of a failed relationship. A third time, early this year, 2019, the deceased approached the General Overseer again to report that he has finally made up his mind to marry the same lady. The General Overseer gave him the sum of 100,000.00( One Hundred Thousand Naira only) to support his “introduction” as part of the marriage rites. To the amazement of the church, we later discovered that English Marriage cards were online and printed already. (All these were done without the approval and knowledge of the Marriage Committee in Church).

We believe the deceased had issues to settle before “walking down the isle” that was why he chose unilaterally not to go on with the marriage. So he relayed that decision to the Church.

4. ACCOMMODATION FUNDS ADEQUATELY PROVIDED.
The deceased accommodation need was met. We state here that it is not the functional obligation of the church to provide accommodation for all departmental heads, which the deceased was one. The Church has up to 30 functional departments. It is only the deceased person that was paid allowances up till his demise. All other departmental heads do not receive any allowance. We freely serve God in our different capacities, except for administrative staff of the church who are on the payroll. The General Overseer singled Michael out for pay because he was the son of a clergy. He was treated kindly and favored. A total of 370,000.00 ( Three Hundred and Seventy Thousand Naira) only, was given to him by the church to pay his for accommodation. Having delivered such amount of cash to him, the church reasonably believed that he had sorted his out accommodation needs.
We read with great surprise on social media that the deceased died out of frustration of lack of accommodation. This is information is greatly untrue and should not be peddled at all.
We also would like to honor the request of his parents not to grant any press conference in this regard, so as to give respect to the wishes of his parents who are still mourning the demise of their son. We implore the press to let the “dead rest”, and allow the matter to also rest.
Michael Arowosaiye lived his life serving God with passion and sincerity. We mourn him today, but we most of all, take pride in the fact that he served God with all his heart. We believe that one day, we will all meet our creator and how we live our lives, really does matter. There is a life after this earth and we adjure every person to seek God, the one and only true God, through Jesus Christ His son who died for our sins.

Thank you for sparing your time to read this statement.
We have laid to rest, our friend, brother, son and singer, Michael Arowosaiye. May he find rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Legal Adviser, Shepherd’s House Assembly International Inc., Apo, Abuja.

Aliyu Gusau joined the Army in 1964 when he enrolled into the DNA as a member of RC1. If this picture was taken in 1962, then the officer with Buhari is not Aliyu Gusau, because Aliyu Gusau was not yet in the Army in 1962.

Three of the four children of Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen died in the Sri Lanka bombing attacks, a spokesman has confirmed to the BBC.

The family were visiting the country over the Easter holiday. The names of the children have not been made public.

Mr Holch Povlsen owns the international clothing chain Bestseller.

He is also the biggest single shareholder in clothing giant Asos and is the UK's largest private landowner, according to the Times newspaper.

"Unfortunately, we can confirm the reports," a Bestseller spokesman said in an email. "We ask you to respect the privacy of the family and we therefore have no further comments."

Mr Holch Povlsen has a large property portfolio in Scotland, where he owns about a dozen estates including Aldourie Castle. He bought them through his company Wildland, which describes itself as a "landscape-scale" conservation project.

"It is a project that we know cannot be realised in our lifetime, which will bear fruit not just for our own children, but also for the generations of visitors who, like us, hold a deep affection the Scottish Highlands," Mr Holch Povlsen and his wife Anne say on the website.

"We wish to restore our parts of the Highlands to their former magnificent natural state and repair the harm that man has inflicted on them."

You antisemitic people will just keep on dreaming and having false hope that Israel will be destroyed one day. You will just keep on dreaming, it will never happen. Be ready to continue to live with the pain of seeing Israel live and prosper. Nothing will happen to Israel.
