Foreign Affairs / Re: Afghan Journalists Brutally Beaten By The Taliban ( Pics, Video) by viviangist: 10:17pm On Sep 17, 2021
Jerryherd:
cool



Taliban don't have the support of the people they Govern, the whole regime would soon collapse except CIA are truly behind all this as covert opreations

Supplies are fast running out, more protest everyday, IS-K fighting back, Pakistan fighting for some territories, Panjshir fighting back

Taliban knows absolutely nothing about how to run a modern economy, not to talk of the one in chaos

Mean while there is nothing more beautiful and emotionally tourching than videos of US Military returning to their families after years in Afghanistan... The tears of joy, the hugs from mother's to son

Shared By: ILLIKANNU DONALD CHUKWUMA

Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Liquorose has revealed she’s not a sexually active person.

Liquorose said this during a conversation with Emmanuel amid rumours that they both have had sex in the house.

She revealed that she can date a guy for months and not have sex with the person.

However, she noted that she can do all sorts of crazy intimate stuff with her partner while in the relationship.

“I am not sexually active, I’m not. I can date you for four months without sex but we can be doing other crazy stuff. But when I want to, I make love.

“Asides from that we could do other crazy stuff and with that, you would barely cheat because I can bet on myself that you won’t even want to be with another woman by the time I’m done with you. I’m a spec and I know it,” she said.

Big Brother Naija, BBNaija season 6 housemate, Queen has confronted Whitemoney over his closeness to Jackie B.

Queen approached Whitemoney on Wednesday night accusing him of not being loyal to her.

According to her, Whitemoney’s emotional attachment with Jackie B will affect the friendship she’s trying to build.

Disclosing that she’s a jealous person with her friends, Queen told Whitemoney to avoid her if he would not be loyal to her. Church Prayers

“You are getting emotionally attached to Jackie B who I’m trying to create a friendship bond with.

“You are doing this will not make my friendship work with her. You did this too with JMK and I tried to be cool with her, even though I knew you were getting close to her.

“I expect a certain amount of loyalty in friendship and I feel you’re doing contrary to your actions. I’m very jealous when it comes to my friends or anyone I’m close to,” Queen said.

Whitemoney, responding, said she’s misunderstanding the scenario.

“I’ll let you avoid me if that’s what you want but I’m not that kind of person. Stop taking things personal with me, I’ve never lied to you,” Whitemoney said.

Sports / Sergio Aguero: Why I Rejected Messi’s No.10 Jersey by viviangist: 7:15am On Sep 07, 2021
Former Manchester City striker, Sergio Aguero has revealed why he turned down the chance to take the No.10 shirt left vacant by Lionel Messi’s departure at Barcelona.

Aguero said it was ‘out of respect’ for the 34-year-old star now plying his trade with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentina International signed a two-year deal with Barcelona, having left Man City on a free transfer at the end of May. Church Prayers

He hoped to line up alongside his fellow countryman, Messi but the Argentine captain left a few weeks later, signing for PSG.

That meant Messi’s coveted No.10 shirt became available, but Aguero, who wore the same number at his previous club, Man City, opted to wear the No.19 shirt for the Catalan club.

“Refusing to wear the number 10 shirt at Barcelona?” he told Twitch streamer Ibai Llanos.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but it was out of respect for Messi.”

Aguero, who is Manchester City’s all-time highest goal scorer, is yet to make his Barca debut due to an injury he picked upon training.

The Catalan giants have also announced that Messi’s No.10 shirt has been given to teenage star Ansu Fati.

Bbnaija: I Wish I Was There, Boma Needs To Be Taught A Lesson – JMK Blows Hot

Evicted Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, has reacted angrily to the altercation that happened between Angel and Boma on Thursday evening.

Trouble started when the duo got into a heated argument as Angel heard Boma saying BBNaija is going to be her biggest achievement.

In response, Angel insulted Boma, warning him not to ever use her as a highlight in the house.

Boma, who was apparently angered by her comments, fired back at Angel, calling her names.

He also referred to her as a child, adding that she should be made to leave Biggy’s house because children shouldn’t be allowed on the show.

“I don’t know why they allowed children in here. .

“This is your biggest achievement. You need serious help,” he said.

Reacting, JMk while watching the fight with other evicted housemates, solicited support for Angel.

JMk who seemed to be the closet to Angel while at the house, said Boma needs to be put in his place.

According to her, “I wish I was still in Biggy’s house, I would have dealt with him.”


Also, Beatrice was seen cheering Angel, adding that Boma had no right to tell her to go home and suck her mother’s breast.

“Go girl, we are solidly behind you. Serve him that dish it is becoming too long and over due. The guy brags way too much,” she said.

Sports / Solskjaer Warned Ronaldo Won’t Play Every Game For Man United by viviangist: 7:54am On Sep 03, 2021
Former Manchester City star, Trevor Sinclair has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not to see Cristiano Ronaldo as a youngster who will play every game of the season.

Sinclair pointed out that the Portugal international will get tired at some point in the Premier League, urging the manager to arrange his team so as to allow Edinson Cavani have some minutes. .

Ronaldo’s arrival from Juventus was announced by Juventus last week, before the two sides concluded a £12.86million signing on deadline day.

The five-time Champions League and Ballon d’Or winner has rejoined United on a two-year deal worth £480,000 per week.

The Portugal captain has been handed the iconic No.7 shirt at Manchester United and Sinclair believes Solskjaer should still have to rely heavily on Cavani despite Ronaldo’s arrival.

“Ronaldo will get the start, but when his legs start tiring, because the intensity is unbelievable in the Premier League, when his legs start tiring, Edinson Cavani will get a chance and they will dovetail throughout the season,” Sinclair said.

“Manchester United play 60 games.

“He won’t be able to play every game and be top drawer for every game, so that will be down to Ole to plan every game.

“When he [Cavani]gets his opportunity and he starts knocking them in the back of the net, then Ole’s got a problem.

“Whoever’s doing the business has to play, it doesn’t matter about your name, and that goes for Ronaldo as well.”

Ronaldo is billed to return to Old Trafford earlier than expected following his one match ban he got during Portugal’s World Cup qualifying game against the Republic of Ireland.

Sports / Cristiano Ronaldo Sends Message To Ali Daei After Breaking Record by viviangist: 8:34am On Sep 02, 2021
Cristiano Ronaldo boasts, sends message to Ali Daei after breaking all-time goalscoring record

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo has said that the world record for goals scored in men’s international football he broke on Tuesday against Ireland is the most special record for him.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Ronaldo said that in all the records he had broken in his career, this particular one was very special for him and is on the shelf of the achievements that makes him really proud.

Ronaldo scored his 110th and 111th goals for Portugal in their dramatic 2-1 World Cup qualifying win over the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old scored two late headers to break and extend the record.

Ali Daei scored 109 goals for Iran between 1993 and 2006 but Ronaldo equalled it in the Euro 2020 with a double against France. Catholic Prayers

“I can’t even start to express myself in words! I’m thrilled with an overwhelming sensation! Let’s go, Portugal! Let’s go!” He wrote.

“From all the records that I have broken during my career – and fortunately there have been a few – this one is very special for me and it’s certainly on the shelf of the achievements that make me truly proud,” Ronaldo said.

The 36-year-old forward said that every moment he wears the Portugal national colours is special to him because he is defending his country and showing the world what the Portuguese stands for.

“Secondly, because National Teams competitions have always had a very strong impact in me as I was growing up, watching my idols playing for their flags every other Summer in Euros and in World Cups,” he added.

“But finally and above all, because scoring 111 goals for Portugal means 111 moments like the ones we experienced today in Algarve, moments of worldwide union and happiness for millions and millions of Portuguese citizens all around the Globe. For them, every sacrifice is worth it,” he added.

The newly signed Manchester United forward also appreciated the previous record holder, Ali Daei.

He said that the Iranian had set the standard so high that at some point, he (Ronaldo) doubted his ability to break it.

He said this is another reason he appreciates the achievement so much and congratulated the Iranian.

“Congratulations to the ‘Shariar’ for holding the record for so long and thanks for always showing so much respect for me every time I scored and as I became closer and closer to his outstanding number,” he added.

Recognising the fact that he could not do it all on his own, Ronaldo thanked his teammates and opposing teams for giving him the opportunity to reach the great achievement.

“Thank you Portugal. Thanks to all my teammates and opponents for making this journey so unforgettable. Let’s keep meeting inside the pitch in the years to come! I’m not closing the count just yet…” He wrote.

See previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/6728500/abia-woman-pours-hot-water

Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu, wife of the Governor of Abia State has taken over the cost of treatment for a 10-year-old girl who was abused by one, Mrs Zazi David Orjiugo Kelechi.

It was gathered that the child who has been victimized for over a year, was force-fed and was allegedly poked with pepper inside her private parts.

Mrs Ikpeazu, who visited the child at the hospital, expressed shock at the horrific injuries on her body. Catholic Prayers

She described the abuse as very inhumane and barbaric.

“I saw the first pictures of the injuries of girl last week and immediately I reached out to the commissioner of police Mrs Janet Agbede. She has assured me that the investigation has been sped up and the perpetrator will be charged to court. I have confidence in the police under Mrs. Agbede, she is a mother and understands the import of safeguarding our children.

“Last Friday I also directed the State Action Committee Against Gender-Based Violence to follow up on the case and work with stakeholders including FIDA, Child Protection Network, NAPTIP and others and ensure things are done right. I am certain that justice will be gotten to serve as deterrent to others who are in habit of viciously maltreating our children,” Mrs. Ikpeazu said.

“I came to the hospital today to see things for myself and i am indeed shocked at the brutality, barbarism and the viciousness of the attacks on the little girl,” she added.

Mrs Ikpeazu said that she had directed her personal physician to join the medical team handling the girl’s care and had also made some donations towards her care and upkeep.

She, therefore, stressed that parents should take care of their biological children and not traffick them to people who do not value or appreciate life.

Crime / Adamawa Man Kills Another For Taking Position He Was Sacked From by viviangist: 7:09am On Aug 31, 2021
A 40-year-old man in Adamawa State, Iliyasu Suleiman, has killed another for taking over a position he was sacked from.

Iliyasu had been sacked from where he was working as a security guard on suspicion that he was stealing company properties, and the deceased was employed into the vacant position.

Iliyasu, who is of Ngurore ward in Yola South Local Government Area and is currently under investigation at the Adamawa State Police Command in Yola, has confessed to beating the new security guard to death, according to a local news publication on Monday evening.

Iliyasu reportedly hit the security guard until he died in a service provider’s company at Kwanan Waya in Yola South LGA.

The suspect is quoted to have said that he was employed by the company in 2020 and was sacked in July 2021 due to cases of theft.

He confessed that he stole the company’s iron rods and sold them to a scavenger at N5000, following which the company reported him to the police who investigated the matter and recovered the iron rods. Catholic Prayers

He said although the management of the company threatened to sack him, he was allowed to stay on after he pleaded, and he worked in the company for one year.

He added however that sometime later, some other people were stealing things from the company and the management, insisting that he must be responsible, finally disengaged him in July 2021.

The company employed another man to serve as security guard, and not long after, he (Iliyasu), armed with a stick, went to the company in the night and hit the new security guard as he slept.

He was later trailed by the police who arrested him over the act

Commenting on the matter, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed that the suspect is currently being questioned by operatives of the command.

Sports / Mbappe To Take Zidane’s Iconic Shirt Number At Real Madrid by viviangist: 8:38am On Aug 28, 2021
Real Madrid have reserved Zinedine Zidane’s iconic No 5 shirt for Kylian Mbappe, according to AS.

The LaLiga giants are confident of signing the player from Paris Saint-Germain, despite a second bid of €180million being knocked back by the Ligue 1 club.

Mbappe currently wears no 7 for PSG and no 10 for France.

But Real have reserved their no 5 shirt for him, as Eden Hazard wears no 7 and Luka Modric has taken the no 10 shirt. .

Mbappe has always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and previously named Zidane as his childhood idol.

Therefore, the opportunity to wear the club’s iconic No 5 will appeal to the French international.

As it stands, the No 5 shirt currently belongs to Jesus Vallejo. But the club will pass it on to Mbappe, as Vallejo is unlikely to be a regular first-team starter this campaign.

Politics / Ex-petroleum Minister, Kachikwu, Dazz Motors In Jaguar Car Theft Case by viviangist: 2:57am On Aug 26, 2021
Former Petroleum Minister, Ibe Kachikwu has denied smuggling a car stolen from a Jaguar assembly in the United Kingdom into America.

Peoples Gazette reported that a United States court ordered the confiscation of the vehicle found in Kachikwu’s possession.

The 2007 Jaguar XKR was taken from its facility in Birmingham, England. The manufacturer said the vehicle was made for use in the Czech Republic.

The complaint sheet informed the court that the vehicle, which did not meet U.S. safety standards, was stolen and shipped to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub.

The XKR was seized on June 15, 2011 at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport in California, United States.

Kachikwu admitted to the forfeiture of the vehicle and agreed to pay $10,000 instead of the vehicle being confiscated. He maintained he was not part of the theft.

The court held that the vehicle was subject to forfeiture in line with federal laws.

Consuelo Bland Marshall, Judge of the United States Court for the Central District of California, delivered the judgment.

“Claimant has acknowledged that the government had probable cause for the seizure of the defendant vehicle”, the court document read.

“The theft of the defendant vehicle from the manufacturer, as alleged in the complaint, occurred before claimant’s acquisition of the vehicle from a dealership and did not involve claimant.”

Kachikwu was the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Executive Vice Chairman and General Counsel of Exxon-Mobil.

In a statement, Kachikwu’s aide, Lawson Chibuike, noted that the vehicle stolen was from Jamaica, not the UK, and that Jaguar told the District Court of Central California.

He said Kachikwu bought the Jaguar car in 2009 from Dazz Motors Nigeria Ltd., whose MD was Emmanuel Jack, and had an office in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The former minister, he confirmed, paid fully for the car and was registered in his name. Chibuike recalled that after some period of use, Kachikwu exported it to the U.S. “as a gift to a relation”. Early Morning Prayers

Chibuike admitted that the customs impounded the car because it was not built for American roads, based on emission control reasons and on the suspicion that it was stolen.

“Dr. Kachikwu gave them the details of the car and they reached out to the car dealer, who corroborated his narration and validated his innocence.

“However, while it couldn’t be proven and established that the car might have been stolen in Europe, it was based on the emission control concerns that an administrative ruling was given in the US that the car be taken back to Nigeria.”

The statement said once the customs determined there was no reason to continue to impound the car or charge the dealer, “the car was released to Kachikwu, who returned it to the dealer and got a refund”.

Chibuike added that the matter happened years before President Muhammadu Buhari appointed his principal a minister.

Politics / Blessing Swawale Accuses In-laws Of Hijacking ₦20 Million Compensation by viviangist: 6:52am On Aug 24, 2021
Mrs Blessing Swawale, the widow of one of the policemen beheaded and burnt to death by suspected members of the disbanded Indigenous People of Biafra in Oyigbo, Rivers State, has accused her in-laws of collecting the N20m compensation given to her family and other entitlements of her husband.

The woman said she was still in pains following the murder of her husband, Inspector Orman Swawale, on October 20, 2020, when IPOB attacked three police stations in Oyigbo.

Recall that the assailants beheaded four policemen, burnt them beyond recognition and carted away rifles in various stations during the attack on the Oyigbo Police Station in the wake of the #EndSARS protest.

In a voice note to our correspondent on Sunday, Blessing said her late husband’s brother collected the N20m released to her as compensation by the government.

She said, “Since I got married to my husband, I have never seen my husband’s family help us with anything. God blessed us with four children. He (late Orman) was the only one catering for those children. But today, he is no more with me. My children’s school fees and what we eat are on me. When the governor gave us that money, I was not in Port Harcourt. I was in my husband’s village.

“So, one of the policemen that stood in for me handed everything to my husband’s brothers. They took me to a bank where they sent the money. From there, they (in-laws) collected everything from me.

“My husband’s salary that the government is paying, his ATM card and mobile telephone are with them.

“I don’t know what to do with my children. I have handed over myself with my children to God because it is the same God that knows why this thing happened. But day and night I will not stop crying because it was my husband that used to wipe my tears. Now, see what I am passing through. Catholic Prayers

“I think of my husband’s death. I think of what we will eat and what I will use in training my children in school. I am in pain.”

While noting that she had to relocate with her children for fear of being hurt, the widow appealed to the police authorities and the Rivers State Government to help her recover the money to enable her to take care of her children.

The elder brother of the deceased, Mr Felix Swawale, denied the allegations.

He said, “Call her and she will tell you the name of the person that she went to the bank with and N19m entered the hand of that person.

“She has the name of that person. She has the number of that person. Let her give it to you. I have never gone to the bank with her. I have never signed any money with her and I have never collected any money that I denied her.”

However, the widow insisted that Felix knew about it, adding that the family agreed in a meeting to deny her Orman’s entitlements.

A spokesman for the state police command, Nnamdi Omoni, expressed shock over the allegations, urging the widow to make an official report to the command.

“First, let her come to the office so that we can understand what she is saying. We will listen to her,” Omoni stated. ,,

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the Nigerian security crisis started January 15, 1966, when many prominent persons were killed by some army officers.

DAILY POST reports that 1966 was a bloody year when a series of massacres were committed against Igbo people and other persons of Southern Nigerian origin living in northern Nigeria.

Between 8,000 and 30,000 Igbos and other Easterners were estimated to have been killed in 1966. Daily Prayers

Following the recent surge in insecurity across the country, particularly in the North, the former Minister, in a post on his verified Facebook page on Monday night, said since the 1966 massacre, Nigerians have continued to settle differences by shedding blood.

He wrote, “The murder of over 20 prominent Nigerian leaders on the night of Jan. 15th 1966 in a mutiny led by some young army officers was the beginning of our troubles in Nigeria.

“From that point on matters were no longer settled by reason in our body politic: they were settled by blood”!
