Beauty, they say, is in the eyes of the beholder.....but these first ladies are not only beautiful in the eyes of the beholders, but to every eye! Anyway, lets see if our own 'aunty Pepe' makes the list....happy reading. 1) Queen Rania of Jordan Top on the list is the beautiful and elegant Queen Rania of Jordan. Married to the King of Jordan, Abdullah II, Queen Rania has been recognized by Forbes twice as being among the 100 most influential people in the world. In addition to the influence she holds over other, Queen Rania is both intelligent and beautiful; a hard combination to come by these days. There is no doubt that her intelligence is part of what makes her so influential in this world. While her outlook on life is modern, she is rooted in traditional ways of living and cares deeply for other people. As a well -known philanthropist she has made strides in improving education for children in Jordan. She has also been a passionate crusader in the quest to empower the women of her region. Before she became a queen she worked as a professional in the technology industry. Since she became the Queen of Jordan she has adopted an approach to her clothing choices that allows her to dress in modern styles and still remain dressed modestly. Even her hair is styled in a way that looks modern but is still appropriate for a queen. 1 Like 1 Share

| Politics › More Encomiums From The US To Nigeria For Containing EVD (Ebola) by ulster(op): 9:25am On Oct 09, 2014 |
According to a US tabloid, USA Today, people in Nigeria are shaking hands again, kissing, hugging, touching. These days, shops are open, people are working, and children are finally going back to school, depicting our ever-happy gesture or culture of e go beta! Simply because Nigeria — Africa's most populous country — is officially Ebola-free, the health ministry said, even as the deadly virus rages on in neighboring countries, where lockdowns and quarantines are common and death rates are rising. Not to far off in Europe- Spain precisely, is currently dealing with their first diagnosed case of Ebola and fears that the virus could spread. Before the death of Thomas Duncan, Liberian national and first US ebola victim, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had sent researchers to Lagos to study how Nigeria was able to contain the disease. No new cases have been reported in Nigeria since Aug. 31, the CDC said. The CDC Director Tom Frieden reports that Nigeria's "extensive response to a single case of Ebola shows that control is possible with rapid, focused interventions," We have a mighty God........ who is a miracle-worker abi...? more at: www.fultonheights..com |

| Politics › New National Carrier Expected: FG Invests $2 Billion On Aviation Expansion by ulster(op): 8:31am On Sep 30, 2014 |
The Federal Government of Nigeria is in talks with private investors to set up a national airline as it revamps airport infrastructure and expands air capacity, Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka said. Nigeria will spend about $2 billion within the next four years to rebuild old airport terminals and construct new ones as demand for air travel in the country swells, Chidoka said in an interview with Bloomberg TV Africa in New York that will be aired Oct. 3. The government wants to start a national carrier within the same period to tap from the growth. “Conversations are on across many possible private sector organizations, both local airlines in Nigeria and then some international airlines,” Chidoka said. “It will be commercially run.” Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and most populous country with about 170 million people, signed a $500 million loan agreement last year with the Export-Import Bank of China to fund new terminals in four cities including the capital Abuja, the commercial hub of Lagos, the southern oil center of Port Harcourt and the northern city of Kano. The contract was won by China Civil Engineering Construction Corp. “We are totally changing the face of four key airports,” said Chidoka. Nigeria is also studying “the possibility of attracting private capital to do that.” The government is building 13 cargo airports across the country for the export of perishable agricultural produce such as pineapples, mangoes and tomatoes. About $1 billion have been provided by the government for the current projects, with another $1 billion expected to be spent within the planned project duration of four years, according to Chidoka. Largest Carrier Nigeria liquidated its former national airline, Nigeria Airways, in 2003 and replaced it with Virgin Nigeria, a joint venture in which Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic originally held 49 percent. The airline changed its name to Air Nigeria in 2010 after Branson pulled out and it ceased flying two years ago. Lagos-based Arik Air Ltd., a closely held company, is the West African nation’s largest carrier with 26 aircraft in its fleet, according to its website. Competitors include Aero Contractors Ltd., Dana Air, Med-View Airline Ltd. and Overland Airways Ltd. The number of air passengers traveling both domestically and internationally in Nigeria surged to 3.75 million last year from 520,263 in 2003, according to World Bank data. “Privatization of some operations of the airports may be on the cards,” said Chidoka. “It will most likely be airport management, things like that, collecting of revenues, managing lounges. We have to build infrastructure that matches our aspiration.” http://fultonheights..com/ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-29/nigeria-plans-airline-to-profit-from-2-billion-aviation-program.html |
| Politics › LAGOS: LASG May Prosecute TB Joshua by ulster(op): 9:03am On Sep 29, 2014 |
The Lagos State Government has set up a coroner of inquest for the purpose of investigating the cause of the September 12 Synagogue Church of All Nation’s building collapse. This was made known in a statement credited to the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, on Sunday. According to the statement, Ipaye had instigated the coroner’s inquest pursuant to Section 15 of the Lagos State Coroner’s System Law No. 7 of 2007. The coroner of inquest, headed by Magistrate O. A. Komolafe, has been charged with the duty of establishing the cause of the collapse of Synagogue’s six-storey building that killed no fewer than 115 persons. Ipaye, who spelt out the responsibility of the coroner, said its final submission might necessitate the institution of a criminal charge against the church. The commissioner was quoted to have said, “The law requires the verdict of a coroner, as certified in writing, to be forwarded to the State Attorney General and such verdict may form the basis of criminal prosecution depending on the evidence collected. “The coroner in this case is Magistrate O. A. Komolafe, who also sat as coroner in the Dana Air Crash case. He is expected to announce his sitting or visitation schedules and other details and to hold the inquest at the premises of the High Court of Lagos State, Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja. “In doing this, he (Komolafe) has all the powers of a magistrate to summon and compel the attendance of witnesses, including medical examiners, and require them to give evidence, produce documents or present other relevant materials.” Read more at: http://fultonheights..com/ http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/2014/09/29/synagogue-tragedy-lagos-may-prosecute-tb-joshua/ |

| Politics › Ebola: Nigerians Suffer Stigmatisation Abroad by ulster(op): 8:20am On Sep 29, 2014 |
Abigail Afolabi, 25, returned to Nigeria after concluding her first degree at the Harbin Medical University, China. She returned home to celebrate her graduation as a medical doctor. Her family in Kaduna State was throwing a party to celebrate her successful feat, and she decided to spend two weeks in Nigeria. While the celebration was on, she received an e-mail from her school informing her of a scholarship offer to proceed for her master’s degree. She accepted the offer. The school then advised her to return to China as soon as possible. Although Abigail never fell ill nor had contact with any of the hundreds of persons screened and in relevant cased treated for Ebola in Nigeria, she was made to suffer what she called ‘humiliation’ by Chinese authorities. Although Abigail had been screened at the Nigerian airport for Ebola before her departure, on arrival at the Beijing airport in China, a list of passengers coming from countries affected by the Ebola outbreak was called. More than 3000 persons have died from the virus in West Africa, mainly from Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra-Leone. Dozens of Nigerians were later infected with the virus when Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American, brought the virus to the country. Mr. Sawyer and six other Nigerians have died from the Ebola in Nigeria. At the Beijing airport, Abigael’s ‘special’ group were told alight from the aircraft before other passengers and were taken for medical examination. “When I arrived in China, the list of passengers coming from countries affected by Ebola was called by the medical officers in Beijing, China,” she said. “We were asked to come out of the plane before other passengers. We were taken to a room for examination. Body temperature was checked and few questions were asked, for example, do you have headache? Are you vomiting?” But that was not to be all. From there, she was isolated in a room where she was made to stay for 21 days – the incubation period of the virus. Ms. Afolabi was released on September 12 and has commenced her Masters programme. Her case is, however, just one of the many forms Nigerians suffer discrimination as a result of Ebola. Nigeria’s contingent to Keeping Children Safe in Africa Conference, which held in Cape Town from September 3 to 5, were denied visa by the South African embassy due to Ebola. One of the key participants from Nigeria, Oge Chukwudozie of Save the Children Nigeria, who was to present a paper was among those denied entry. Someone else, a non-Nigerian, had to present her paper for her. When contacted on the efforts by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure there is a stop to the discrimination Nigerians suffer, its spokesperson, Ogbole Amedu-Ode, said he was on leave and could not make any comment. Some government officials have, however, expressed concern with the apparent stigmatisation Nigerians go through due to the Ebola virus. One of such is Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs. Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa on September 6 noted that the stigmatization must be addressed before it gets worse, and as a lawmaker she would work with relevant government agencies to do the needful. She explained that in many instances, there were hardly any medical checks to ascertain the health conditions of such Nigerians. The lawmaker cited another example of Adeseye Adeyemi, a Nigerian who decided to wed his Sri Lankan heartthrob in Sri Lanka; and wanted his Nigerian-based family to attend the reception. Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa said the Adeyemi’s “were terribly treated by Sri Lankan authorities.” She said all family members were quarantined in the Sri-Lankan airport lobby for about 18 hours with no access to food, water, or toilet facilities. The family was subsequently deported with no medical check after the prolonged wait. http://fultonheights..com/ https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/168746-ebola-nigerians-suffer-stigmatisation-abroad.html 1 Like |

The Secretary-General met today with H.E. Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The Secretary General commended Nigeria for its efforts to contain the spread of Ebola in the country. They discussed the security situation in the north-east of Nigeria and its impact on the sub-region. The Secretary General enquired about the fate of the schoolgirls abducted from Chibok in April 2014 and reiterated his condemnation of the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Boko Haram. The two leaders discussed preparations for the general elections scheduled to take place in Nigeria in 2015. http://fultonheights..com/ http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=8039 |

| Politics › Freed Chibok Girl Can't Identify Self! by ulster(op): 8:39am On Sep 26, 2014 |
Nigerian's Islamic extremists have freed one of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls, Nigerian police reported Thursday, but a community leader says she's too traumatized to identify herself properly. Hundreds of girls, women and boys have been kidnapped by Boko Haram fighters in the past year but the abduction of more than 270 schoolgirls and young women from a school in the remote northeastern town of Chibok in April inspired a worldwide campaign for their freedom. More than 50 girls escaped by themselves at the scene or soon after and now 219 remain missing. The failure by the Nigerian government and military to rescue them has brought international condemnation. Police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu told reporters that on Wednesday "a girl, 20 years of age, among the abducted Chibok girls was dropped off by suspected Boko Haram militants at Mubi," a town in northeast Adamawa state. "The information we have is that she is one of the abducted girls," he said. But Chibok community leader Pogu Bitrus said he spoke to the young woman by phone and that the name she gave is not on the list of missing girls. "She is mentally traumatized, not coherent at all," he said. He has asked security forces to send him a photograph so that parents may look at it and her image can be compared with a database of photographs of the missing students. Bitrus also worried that "it could be a trick by Boko Haram to release another girl just to create a diversion." The news comes two days after a false report that the military had custody of several of the girls kidnapped from Chibok. That was caused by confusion in reports after soldiers found some of the girls who had escaped early on, on a bus on the way to a school in the north. http://fultonheights..com/ |

| Politics › Israel Vs Syria: Plane Shut Down by ulster(op): 1:25pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
(Reuters) - according to Reuters News, Israel shot down a Syrian warplane on Today (tuesday), saying the aircraft crossed the battle lines of Syria's civil war and flew over the Israeli-held Golan Heights, perhaps by accident. The incident coincided with but did not appear to be directly related to air strikes the United States and Gulf Arab allies mounted on Islamic State strongholds in Syria. But it presented another challenge to Israel's oft-stated desire to stay on the sidelines of a conflict on its northern doorstep, in which al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front rebels took over a border crossing on the Golan last month. The Israeli military said its U.S.-made Patriot missile air defence system shot down a Syrian Russian-built Sukhoi fighter plane that had "infiltrated Israeli airspace" over the territory, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. It was the first time in three decades that Israel had downed a Syrian warplane. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the civil war, said the warplane had been bombing areas outside Quneitra, a Syrian town near the Israeli-held side of the frontier, at the time it was shot down. It said the pilot had bailed out. Syria described the downing of the aircraft as an act of aggression. Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon, commenting on the incident, said Israel "will not allow any element - neither a state nor a terrorist group - to threaten our security and violate our sovereignty". Israeli military sources said the plane apparently crossed by accident into Israeli-controlled airspace. In his statement, Yaalon also seemed to raise that possibility, saying Israel would respond strongly to perceived threats "whether they stemmed from a mistake or were deliberate". Israel has fired into Syrian territory on numerous occasions in response to shelling on the Golan that the military has said was largely spillover from fighting between rebels and the Syrian Army. An Israeli Patriot missile destroyed a Syrian drone over the Golan on Aug. 31. Israel last downed a manned Syrian aircraft in 1985, when Israeli fighters on a surveillance mission over Lebanon destroyed two Syrian MiG-23s that approached them. http://fultonheights..com/ |
