Five of the suspected abductors of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae, have been arrested.

Falae was kidnapped on his farm, three weeks ago, at Ilado Village in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

The elder statesman was released four days later.

Family sources confirmed that three of the hoodlums were arrested in Niger State last Sunday; two others were picked up at the weekend.

It was gathered that the suspects are in the custody of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the State Police Command, Akure, the state capital.

Policemen are still on the trail of the other fleeing suspects.

A source said: “Five of them were arrested, three in Niger State on Sunday. Two others were arrested somewhere I cannot say for now but the suspects are in SARS custody.

“The police are still searching for the other seven suspects and I am sure they too will be arrested very soon.”

Police spokesman Femi Joseph said the kidnap of the former Minister of Finance was being handled by the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase.

He said: “I don’t know anything about the issue again; it is the IG who has taken over the issue because it is a national issue.

“He is likely to brief the press about the development today.”

Some people enjoy talking but are unaware of the rules that guide conversations. Here are some rules to observe when you engage in discussions with people

Listen more

It is often said that to be a good conversationalist, you have to be a good listener. That is to say that the key to a good conversation is not in the talking, but in the listening. Avoid being self-centred in conversations. You can ask intelligent questions and offer brilliant advice to people only when you listen more. Also, simple gestures like focusing on who is talking, nodding your head, and adding little exclamations at appropriate moments, show the other party that you are interested and involved in the discussion.

Be prepared

Before you start a conversation with someone, ensure you are prepared on what to say or at least how to kick-start it. Do not start up a conversation and fall short of what to say or get lost in the middle of it. Think about the things that will probably interest people you converse with and look for some background information on the topic of discourse or the people.

Tailor the conversation

It is better to discuss certain topics with people you are familiar with. The people you meet for the first time may have reservations about certain topics and may not feel comfortable discussing them with you. Avoid awkward topics or arguing with the other parties.

Don’t dominate

A conversation involves two or more people sharing opinions and ideas about a particular topic. It is a dialogue and not time for monologues. If you are in charge of the conversation and have talked for a few minutes without any questions, comments, or general signs of life from other people, cede the floor to someone else and give them room to share their own perspective on the topic of discourse. Do not monopolise the conversation.

Think first

Some mistakes are made in conversations because people fail to think before they speak. Sometimes, in the course of a discussion, they could utter annoying words to the other parties. To avoid offending people during conversations, don’t blurt out statements out of anger or without thinking. You could avoid further disagreements by sieving your thoughts before speaking them out.

Don’t interrupt

When you are involved in a conversation, give people the opportunity to air their opinions because they are entitled to it. Do not interrupt anyone; wait until they have stopped talking before you start. Interrupting a person’s thought or speech sounds rude and could send the discussion off into another tangent. This also applies to telephone conversations. When you are interrupted, the polite thing to do is shut up and not go back to the conversation except you are asked to.

Be liberal

When there are more than two people involved in a conversation, be sure to involve everyone in the discussion. Do not take sides or prefer a particular person for the conversation. Also, be sure to choose subjects which everyone has an interest in, so they can contribute to it. That makes people have a sense of belonging.

Don’t overshare

Having a conversation with someone, especially when you need an advice on a particular issue does not mean you should reveal your entire life as soon as you start the discussion. If you would reveal a certain amount of information about yourself, ensure you do that with someone you feel safe with and can trust. Revealing too much personal information could cut across as an act of desperation and repel people.

Respect privacy

It is good that people trust you enough to tell you their secrets but do not sound nosey or desperate by probing for too much information, especially when they do not feel like revealing more. Don’t dig too deeply into their personal life. If they are comfortable talking about the particular issue again, let them bring it up at their own pace. If they don’t seem willing to discuss it any further, change the subject.

Story highlights
"I thought we were finished," says a man who
escaped from a collapsed building
More than 500 people have been hospitalized,
dozens of them with critical injuries
Firefighters are among the dead and many
remain missing, state media report
Tianjin, China (CNN)— You can see the
devastation everywhere: in the hollowed-out
shells of barely-standing buildings, in the
anguished faces of relatives waiting for news of
loved ones, in the parade of scorched cars.
But what was it that set off the terrifying blasts
that ripped through warehouses containing
hazardous chemical materials, sending fireballs
shooting across the sky and shaking tall
buildings more than 2 miles away?
Hours later, amid the destruction in this
northern Chinese port city of more than 13
million, the exact cause of Wednesday night's
blast remained unclear.
A thick chemical odor hung in the air. Fires still
burned in the waterfront industrial district where
the explosions went off. And the grim toll kept
mounting.
At least 50 people are confirmed dead, including
12 firefighters, officials said Thursday. More
than 500 people are hospitalized, and 71 of
them were in critical condition, the state-run
Xinhua news outlet reported. Dozens of
firefighters are missing.
Local authorities suspended firefighting efforts
Thursday because of a lack of information about
the "dangerous goods" stored at the warehouse
at the heart of the blasts, Xinhua said.
The explosions originated at a warehouse site
owned by Tianjin Dongjiang Port Rui Hai
International Logistics Co. Ltd., a company that
stores and transports dangerous chemicals.
Company executives have been taken into
custody, state media said.
The blasts' destructive force tore into Tianjin,
smashing buildings and mangling shipping
containers.
The first explosion was huge, but the second
was even more powerful -- the equivalent of 21
metric tons of TNT or a magnitude 2.9
earthquake, according to the China Earthquake
Networks Center.
The power of the explosions destroyed the
house where Qian Jiping and his wife, both of
them migrant construction workers, were
staying.
"When I heard the first explosion, I thought we
were finished," he said.
Strangers pulled them from the rubble. They
fled barefoot, desperate to get away, barely
feeling the jagged shards of glass that littered
the ground.
Across the city, residents were jolted awake as
the blasts shattered windows and fish tanks.
"The shock wave just blew through our
apartment. It blew out the glass, it blew out the
doors, it knocked out the power," said Vafa
Anderson, a teacher at an international school
who lives less than two kilometers from the
explosions' epicenter.
Anderson told CNN he was awakened by the
first blast and was looking out the window when
the second went off, sending a "huge mushroom
cloud" into the sky.
"I thought it was an earthquake!" said Liu Yue, a
25-year-old woman who lives about four
kilometers away. "I was extremely scared. I was
afraid my family was in danger."
She told CNN the entire 16-floor building she
lives in was rocking.
The injured were taken to different hospitals in
the city, with many reported to be suffering
from cuts caused by broken glass.
People gathered outside one hospital not far
from an area of badly damaged buildings,
waiting for news of loved ones.
A severely burned man was wheeled past
waiting crowds.
Some people collapsed from the heartbreak of
losing someone close to them.
"Why did God take her? Why did God take my
daughter?" one man cried out.

To correct it, extract the water from bitter leaf add honey and egg to it and rub three times a day.

Although I am not a doctor but I believe vitamin C works best. I don't know the dosage but 30 per day is not bad probably vit C has no side effect.

Reports coming in confirms that sporadic gunfire is underway in Potiskum, Yobe State. The shooting is currently at the College of Administration and Business Studies, Potiskum, Yobe State.

GEJ is a subtle conman, quiet and very calculative.
Easily mistaken to be a dunce... but he is not, though he's easily misled. But he's quick to know when he's been 'scammed'. He's a slow decision maker, hence 85% of the policies of his administration are not originally his ideas but that of other faster thinking conmen in his cabinet.
This is where PDP/GEJ has brought the country..a state of coma. Prayers saved this nation from imminent collapse in the last election and ONLY prayers can make the incoming government achieve its aims.
PDP or APC, Nigeria remains one..we should stop these childish and unreasonable arguments and join forces to lift this country. Only if we unite can we move forward. If one party is building up and another is busy tearing down.. how can there be progress? If the needed progress is not achieved, all of us be you APC or PDP will bear the brunts and the generation coming after us will not even forgive our stupidity.
God Bless Nigeria!!!

This post would have made a lot sense before the general elections.

This condition is called hyperrhioditisis syndrome. Contact the nearest alagbo shop.

Does it cause cancer or it may likely be a causative factor?

allisonluvsu:
Now lets roll this way.Here is the difference.

You are asked to come to work by 7am everyday to complete a daily task of collating data. The job rule states that you must collate atleast fifty data everyday before you leave for home. If you go to work by 9am which is like 2 hours later than the original time, and still complete the collation of the fifty data task given to you, you are not efficient but effective because you lack the discipline of coming to work earlier.

Efficiency involves an individual meeting up with the demands and completing the task given to him/her at the right time, right date and right manner while effectively involves completing the task even if it was not done at the right time and right date or manner.

Furthermore, if you are asked to wear your safety gears before performing your daily task in a company and you ignore such command and still went ahead to complete the task without your safety gear, you have worked effectively but not efficiently. Efficiency deals with doing things in an organized manner as directed by your organization while the other measures your ability to complete the said task assigned to you.

I hope i tried in the explanation.

This actually explains ineffectiveness and effectiveness

This one is verrrrrrrrry strong

And Fashola says Jimi Shakes is too old.

As Nigerians look forward to the presidential
elections holding next month across Nigeria,
a new video has surfaced on You Tube
showing the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Presidential candidate, Muhammadu
Buharinot able to recall the name of his
running mate Prof. Yemi Osinbajo during his
election campaign in Owerri, Imo state
capital.

According to the 5:56 minutes video, the
former Head of State while speaking at the
rally called his running mate ‘Yemi Osinbade’
instead of Yemi Osinbajo.

Below is the video posted on Youtube:
They mocked Jonathan for saying Buhari cant
remember his phone number. Watch Buhari
forget the name of his own VP

Since the video surfaced on the internet, it
has gone viral with political opposition of the
APC and many Nigerians expressing shock on
the development. While commenting on the
incident on his official Twitter handle, the
Special Adviser to President Goodluck
Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri,
tweeted that “May God save Nigeria from a presidential candidate that cant even
remember the name of his VP! May God save
Nigeria.

Since the emergence of the All Progressives
Congress, Nigerians have been arguing
whether the party is different from the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party. Also, both parties’
presidential candidates, General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd.) and the incumbent President
Goodluck Jonathan, and their respective
teams have come under the scrutiny of the
electorate. Naij.com guest writer Dr. Deborah
Nelson , from Ilorin, once again appeals
publicly to a prominent Nigerian politician –
this time, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
an influential member of the APC.

“Good day, Sir. Congratulations on the
successful conduct of the APC’s convention
in Lagos to elect its presidential candidate for
the 2015 election. Though you were denied
the luxury to conduct the ‘selection’ in your
bedroom as usual, you still managed to weep
the Oshimholes into line behind your ‘beloved
godson’ , General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) .
Having succeeded in forcing APC governors to
‘gang up’ against other presidential aspirants,
you set the stage for the exercise to be
professionally manipulated to produce him as
the elected presidential candidate of the APC.
Consequently, Governor Okorocha, one of the
presidential candidates, had since been
blaming his failure to win the primary election
on what he calls ‘gang-up of the APC
governors’. If any other presidential candidate
was the beneficiary of the ‘gang-up’, your
godson would have condemned it and incited
his supporters to soak ‘dogs and baboons’ in
blood. He had since been adopted as a
consensus candidate for Northern Nigeria
(Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Muslims, to be
specific). According to Alhaji Coomassie , the
Chairman of a Hausa-Fulani pressure group,
ACF, the North “is going to support a Northern
candidate. And since APC had voted a Northern
candidate, we are going to support him 100%.
So Buhari is our candidate for the 2015
election.”

“Days after Nigeria gained independence in
1960, Sir Ahmadu Bello was quoted to having
said, “This new nation called Nigeria should be
an estate of our great grand father, Usman Dan
Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of
power. We use the minorities in the North as
winning tools and the South as a conquered
territory, never allow them to rule over us and
never allow them to have control over their
future.” Since the above statement was made
by the Sultan, it had continued to serve as a
roadmap for Hausa-Fulani politicians, hence
they believe that it is their birthright to use
any means possible to either reclaim power or
prevent non-Hausa-Fulani Muslims from ruling
over them. Sir, as long as prominent Nigerians
like you prefer to serve them as ‘winning
tools’, Hausa-Fulani politicians will continue to
behave as if Nigeria is an estate of Usman
Dan Fodio. In 1961, the same Sultan Bello
said, “I am set and fully armed to conquer the
Action Group in the same ruthless manner my
great grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in
Sokoto Province during the last Century.” May I
remind you, Sir, that what happened to Chief
Obafemi Awolowo and the Action Group
between then and 1966 were direct
consequences of this statement. Any Yoruba
politician who fails to find out the real source
of conflict between the two illustrious sons of
Oduduwa, Chief Awolowo and Chief Akintola
and adjust accordingly may have
themselves to blame. You can never be more
loyal to Hausa-Fulani politicians than late
Chief MKO Abiola, but where is he today and
how was he rewarded?

“There are irrefutable records at the United
States District Court for Northern District of
Illinois indicating that most of your assets and
properties were confiscated by the US
government in 1993 because of your
involvement in drug trafficking in the US. The
records also indicate that you were an
employee of Mobil Nigeria Limited on a salary
of $2,400 per month and a proud owner of ten
bank accounts, one at the First Heritage
Bank, nine at the Citi International Bank. Out
of over $1.4 million USD found in your
accounts, you forfeited $460,000 USD to the
US government. Although you were not
subjected to criminal prosecution, the fact
that you acceded to forfeit $460,000 USD to
the US government on account of your
trafficking in drugs in the US was on its own a
conviction. However, if you are not a
convicted drug baron, as contained in the
court papers and report to NDLEA, call a
press conference and exonerate yourself
because the APC cannot afford to have a
convicted drug baron as its national leader.
“In order to actualize your self-imposed task
of installing a Hausa-Fulani president in 2015,
you collaborated with Hausa-Fulani politicians,
the most conservative ethnic groups in the
country, to form a political party, the All
Progressives Congress. Funny enough, APC’s
slogan is ‘change’. Change from what to
what? The policies of the APC-controlled
states, especially those in the North, and
antecedents of its key members are anything
but progressive. Sokoto, Kano, Borno, Yobe
states are dominated by Hausa, Fulani, and
Kanuri Muslims. At the recently-concluded
National Conference, they rejected fiscal
federalism, state police, local government
autonomy, resource control, Child Rights Bill,
among other propositions. They consider
Western education, birth control, vaccination
against polio, and girl child education as ‘anti-
Islamic’. Because of their ‘progressive’
policies, Nigeria is yet to eradicate polio.
These states account for over 90% of beggars,
internally displaced persons, illiterates and
almajiris . While a girl child as young as 7
years old is given out in marriage, a boy child
as young as 5 years old is dumped with any
Imam anywhere for years to acquire Islamic
education with no support whatsoever from
his biological parents. In these ‘progressive’
states, people reproduce like rabbits as long
as they live thereby creating inexhaustible
reservoirs of expendable human robots
(almajiris) whom your godson and other
Hausa-Fulani politicians had been using to
prosecute religious riots often initiated by
them. Sir, are these the much-trumpeted
changes Nigerians should expect from the
APC?

“Your godson is expected to ‘captain’ the
Nigerian ship should the APC emerge
victorious in 2015 presidential election, but his
utterances are to say the least disturbing.
While speaking in Kaduna at a seminar
organized by Supreme Council for Sharia in
Nigeria in 2001, he said, “Sharia should be
introduced in full across Nigeria. I will continue
to show openly and inside me the total
commitment to the Sharia movement that is
sweeping all over Nigeria. God’s willing, we will
not stop the agitation for the total
implementation of the Sharia in the country. It is
a legal responsibility which Allah has given us
within the context of one Nigeria to continue to
uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly
and to educate non-Muslims that they have
nothing to fear. What remains of Muslims in
Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts and
educate fellow Muslims on the need to promote
the full implementation of Sharia Laws.”
“In spite of the bloody Sharia riots in Kaduna
State in 2000 which claimed thousands of
lives and destroyed properties worth millions
of naira, he was here in 2001 announcing his
“total commitment to Sharia movement” . This
was an arrogant display of insensitivity. His
total commitment to promote full
implementation of Sharia Laws in Nigeria
might have convinced him to regard Boko
Haram terrorists as partners in the service of
Allah because, apart from warning President
Jonathan that any attack on Boko Haram
terrorists would be considered as an attack on
the North, he went further to criticize the
President for not treating Boko Haram
terrorists the same way Niger Delta militants
are being treated. He said that Boko Haram
terrorists were only fighting for their rights,
hence Jonathan should stop bombing them
and destroying their homes. Sir, what ‘changes’
do we expect from a man with such undiluted
commitment to promote full implementation of
Sharia Laws in Nigeria?

“Sir, I observe that you and other key
members of APC always threaten to set the
nation ablaze if APC does not emerge
victorious in 2015 presidential election.
At your investiture as the Pro-Chancellor of
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in
Ogbomoso, you said, “No government that
wants people’s votes will be doing what they
are doing. They are already planning to rig the
elections, but be prepared to protect your votes,
nobody serves you freedom à la carte. It is
going to be rig and roast.”

“In 2010, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said, “Those
who make peaceful change impossible make
violent change inevitable .” In 2014, Mallam el-
Rufai said, “The next election is likely to be
violent and many people are likely going to die.
And the only alternative left to get power is to
take it by force, this is the reality on the
ground.” In March 2014, APC Chieftain from
North East, Alhaji Abu Shuluwa , said, “Nigeria
will descend into anarchy if Jonathan is allowed
to contest 2014 election.” APC Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed , said, “Let us
remind the presidency in case it has forgotten
that electoral fraud triggered civil war in Algeria
in the 1990s.” The Chairman of APC, Chief
John Oyegun , said, “If we do not see any
discernable change of attitude on the part of
government, then we will move to the next stage
on the list of actions that our party intends to
take to stop the rot being perpetrated by the
PDP government.” During Salvation Rally in
Port Harcourt, Governor Amaechi said, “What
is the essence of going to court when the
Federal Government does not obey the laws?
That is why APC will not go to court any longer.
If you rig us, out we will rig ourselves in, which
means if you can rig us out in 2015, we will
form our own government. We have met on that,
we have agreed on that. We will install our own
government, and there will be two
governments.” At his inauguration on 27
November 2014, Governor Aregbesola said,
“We will take over Federal Government next
year. Anything you have, get it ready. We must
pursue Jonathan out of Abuja next year by all
means necessary.”

“Judging from your antecedents, election is
never credible unless you are declared the
winner. You have promised to set the nation
ablaze if you do not win next year’s
presidential election. The other day, I saw
your godson in a group photograph with his
beautiful children. How would he feel if
anyone killed these lovely, innocent children
just because a politician does not win an
election? Sir, how would you feel if your
beautiful wife were ‘roasted’ because a
politician does not win an election? Even
considering that the election is massively
rigged, does that justify killings? What’s next?
When will you use your privileged position to
serve your creator and mankind instead of
chasing shadows and shedding blood? Your
godson’s utterances had led to post-election
violence that swept through the North in
2011. Apart from turning thousands into
orphans, widows, widowers, what has he
benefited from that avoidable but massive
destruction of lives and properties?
“The participation of your ‘godson’ as the APC
presidential candidate in the forthcoming
presidential election is a two-edged sword.
His victory or defeat are both to likely
cause problems. In case of defeat, you both
are most likely to stir up violence; but this
time, I am afraid, there may be reprisal
attacks. All these outbreaks may degenerate
into total breakdown of law and order. If
Buhari wins, the people of Niger Delta may
disrupt oil and gas production to make his
government ungovernable because they
believe that Hausa-Fulani politicians are the
sponsors of Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani
herdsmen. Such development will have very
serious adverse effects on the economy.
However, this can be averted if the
recommendations of the recently-concluded
National Conference are fully implemented.
“This country must not be allowed to break up
as predicted by the Americans. God bless
Nigeria.”
