Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is not asleep when he closes his eyes for long periods during meetings but is resting his eyes, his spokesman says.

"The president cannot suffer bright lights," George Charamba was quoted as saying by the state-run Herald newspaper.

Mr Mugabe, 93, has been seen apparently sleeping at several events, leading to speculation about his fitness.

He intends to stand in presidential elections next year.

The president is currently receiving specialised medical treatment for his eyes in Singapore.


"I feel like a failure when there is this reading that the president is sleeping in conferences - no," Mr Charamba said.

He then compared Mr Mugabe to the anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, whose eyes were sensitive to flash photography following years of working in a limestone quarry while imprisoned on Robben Island.

President Mugabe's foreign trips are often criticised in Zimbabwe, where healthcare has declined in recent years and medical professionals say they are poorly paid.

One of the Chibok girls kidnapped by Islamist militants Boko Haram chose to stay with her husband instead of being freed, a spokesman for Nigeria's president has said.
She was set to be part of the group of captives who were released on Saturday.
Garba Shehu told local Channels TV that 83 girls were supposed to be freed "but one said: 'No, I'm happy where I am. I have found a husband.'"
The 82 were released as part of a negotiation brokered by the ICRC.
The government agreed to free an undisclosed number of Boko Haram prisoners in exchange.
The militants are thought to be still holding more than 100 of the 276 taken from Chibok, north-east Nigeria, three years ago. The militant group has also kidnapped thousands of other people during their insurgency in the region.
It is believed that some of those abducted have been married to fighters and had children with them.
Parents of the missing Chibok girls are slowly learning if their daughters are among the freed.
The government published the names of the freed girls on Twitter but in Chibok not everyone has access to the social media site.
Mr Shehu said the government was working to verify their identities, so they can be reunited with their families as soon as possible.
Aisha Yesufu, coordinator of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group, told AFP news agency, that they were working to match the parents to their daughters. www.blaksun3000..com

No power last forever! They all decay and give way to another. Except of course for the Power that gives power. Like if you understand and agree.

What essence? They are all taken, except for maybe that one with the thinking posture.

Israel that is predominantly Judaism, warming up to this Man?..
Maybe this Joshua is the Anti Christ ooo.





I said maybe oo. I just want to provoke critical thinking and debates based on logistics. Besides their is freedom of expression. And I have only said something about a Christendom leader and not a Muslim leader, so I think I am save.

No issue with them. The fear of them is out of ignorance. But sometimes they complicate thing by claiming they or there pastor had a vision for you, and they start telling you stuffs you have to do. Thus I have observed can be out of trying to impress you. And coming from their background they will assume you should easily agree with them. But me, I don't give in to such.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has made a rare public appearance amid ongoing questions about the state of his health.
Photos and a video posted on Twitter showed Mr Buhari, 74, attending Friday prayers at a mosque in the presidential villa in the capital Abuja.
The footage showed the president shaking hands with fellow worshippers.
Aides say Mr Buhari has been resting after receiving medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness.
Earlier this week, the president missed his third cabinet meeting in a row, stoking further debate about his condition. Until Friday, he had not been seen in public for more than a week.

That's a poor example...because

2003 Milan won by playing second

2005 Milan lost by playing first

1994 world cup final Italy played first and lost

1996 Ajax lost by playing first

Look at the stat...60 percent of people that takes the first penalty have won.

You are right my brother. That is why God is a far more better judge. He looks at the mental state, motive and prevailing conditions before judging people. Hitler might make the kingdom of God.

An Australian woman who killed eight children in a stabbing attack at her home will not stand trial because she was of "unsound mind" at the time.
Raina Thaiday was experiencing a psychotic episode when she turned on her four sons, three daughters and a niece in Cairns in December 2014.
The legal decision - made last month but only now made public - means she cannot be held criminally responsible.
Thaiday, 40, is being held at a high-security centre in Brisbane.
It is unclear if she will ever be released back into the community.
The house where the children, aged between two and 14, were killed has been demolished. It has been replaced with a park to remember Malili, Angelina, Shantae, Rayden, Azariah, Daniel, Rodney and Patrenella.
'Schizophrenia at its worst'
Thaiday, also known as Mersane Warria, had been charged with the children's murders but Queensland's Mental Health Court ruled she should not stand trial.
Experts said before the killings she had never been treated for mental illness.
Several psychiatrists testified that it was likely that Thaiday's mental state had deteriorated in the months beforehand.
Thaiday believed she was the "Chosen One" and became obsessed with cleansing to protect herself and her family from demons.
A "dove call" - either real or imagined - sent her over the edge.
Forensic psychiatrist Dr Jane Phillips told the court: "She heard the sound of a bird and believed from hearing that sound it was a message she must kill the children to save them."
Psychiatrist Dr Frank Varghese said Thaiday was suffering from an "apocalyptic delusional state".
"This is quite a unique case and a horrendous case, the likes of which I've never seen before," he said.
"This is schizophrenia at its very depth and its worst."
'Unsoundness of mind'
The bodies were discovered by Thaiday's adult son, Lewis Warria. He found his mother in front of the house with 35 self-inflicted stab wounds.
Justice Jean Dalton said there was a convincing body of evidence that Thaiday could not control or understand her actions.
"Ms Thaiday had a mental illness that deprived her of capacity at the time of the killing," Justice Dalton said.
"That is, that she is entitled to the defence of unsoundness of mind - there is just no doubt about that on the evidence, and there is no doubt about the legal conclusion that flows from that."

This is what the Civilian Joint Task Force (CTJF) members in conjunction with Nigerian troops did to some Boko Haram terrorists during a recent raid in Borno state. The terrorists were gruesomely killed while trying to engage the security operatives in a shoot-out.

Chelsea lost the 2008 Champions League final to Manchester United on penalties when taking them second
Penalty shootouts in football could be transformed to make them fairer under new plans being looked at by Uefa.
The sport's European governing body is already trialling a new way for penalties to be taken in decisive shootouts.
Instead of teams alternating spot-kicks, Uefa is considering a new system similar to the tie-break in tennis.
The system is being tried out at the European Under-17 Championship, which began in Croatia on Wednesday.
How does it work?
As it stands, teams take turns in a shootout, with the choice of who goes first decided by a coin toss.
For example, team A goes first, then team B, then team A again.
The new system is called 'ABBA' and sees team A followed by team B - before team B goes again. Team A would then get two successive penalties, and so on until there is a winner.
A coin will still be tossed to decide who goes first.
Why is a change needed?
The idea is to stop the team going second having to always, potentially, play catch-up. The sport's rule-making body, Ifab, approved the trial after looking at research it says proves the team taking the first penalty have an unfair advantage as they win 60% of shootouts.
"The hypothesis is that the player taking the second kick in the pair is under greater mental pressure," said Uefa.
The system is also being trialled at the women's European Under-17 Championship, which began in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

Op are you kidding me?? Three-quarters of people within age 17-35 pays bet and the are highest gambler in Africa?

My brother, me set get doubt o. But na stat I follow.

Samuel Abisai, 28, won the jackpot after placing about $2 on two separate picks, betting firm SportPesa says.
Mr Abisai plans to give some of his winnings back to society, including supporting his local football team in the western region of Kakamega.
The payout is reportedly one of the biggest ever paid in Kenya.
The average salary of a civil servant in Kenya is about $150 per month.
Kenyans are the biggest gamblers in sub-Saharan Africa. Three-quarters of 17-to-35 year olds in Kenya admit to having placed a bet, according to a recent survey.
Gambling on phone apps is easy, so many Kenyans regularly make payments through their mobile phones.
The government is worried - and has just slapped a 50% tax on bookmakers, lottery companies and sports betting sites.
Mr Abisai is, however, not affected as the taxation comes into effect next year.
"I think I am not going to bet again," Mr Abisai told journalists in Nairobi.
The company's boss Ronald Karauri led a convoy, including a stretch limousine, to pick up Mr Abisai from his home in the small town of Thika 45km (27 miles) north-east of the capital, Nairobi.
It had to navigate a large pothole just outside his home.
The father of one daughter works for a Chinese company and speaks fluent Mandarin. He has not decided whether he will quit his job.
However, he did say that top on his list of priorities is buying a car and investing in real estate.
The betting industry is rapidly growing across Africa.

Patience and love
When asked about the secret of his longevity, Mbah Ghoto told the BBC last year that patience was key and that he had "a long life because I have people that love me looking after me".
A heavy smoker until the end, he outlived four wives, 10 siblings and all his children.
In his village, he was a local hero famous for telling great stories about the wars against Japan and the Dutch colonisers.
Grandson Suryanto said his grandfather was buried on Monday morning in a local cemetery plot he bought several years ago.
A tombstone that had sat beside his house for many years was placed above the grave.
"He didn't ask much. Before he died, he just wanted us, his family, to let him go," his grandson said.
If independently verified, his age would make Grandpa Ghoto older than French centenarian Jeanne Calment, who was 122 when she died, and is considered the longest living human in recorded history.

The Indonesian man who claimed to be 146 years old - the longest living human ever - has died in his village in Central Java.
According to his papers, Sodimedjo, also known as Mbah Ghoto (grandpa Ghoto), was born in December 1870.
But Indonesia only started recording births in 1900 - and there have been mistakes before.
Yet officials told the BBC his papers were valid, based on documents he provided and interviews with him.
He was taken to hospital on 12 April because of deteriorating health. Six days later he insisted on checking out to return home.
"Since he came back from the hospital, he only ate spoonfuls of porridge and drank very little," his grandson Suyanto told the BBC.
"It only lasted a couple of days. From that moment on to his death, he refused to eat and drink."...
