Politics / Amaechi Is My Son, I Cannot Fight Him - Patience Jonathan by cynosure1(m): 8:40pm On Jul 17, 2013
First Lady Patience Jonathan, on Wednesday, said that she had
committed the ongoing crisis in Rivers State to prayers.
Rivers has been embroiled in a political crisis which culminated
in a free for all at the House of Assembly last week, with some
members injured.
Jonathan said this when 16 bishops from the South-South geo-
political zone visited her at the Presidential Villa.
“Rivers State’s issue is one thing I’ve committed to prayer
because I believe there is nothing God cannot do,” she said.
“God restored me and I’ll do His work without the fear of man.
The truth will always remain the truth and what God ordains
must come to pass; and so Rivers issue is something we’ve
handed over to God.’’
The president’s wife said contrary to some reports, she had
always mediated between Governor Chibuike Amaechi and
other parties in a crisis that began four years ago.
“This matter started as far back as four years ago at Anyugubiri
in Okrika when I begged him not to demolish a part of Okrika
but (that he should) dialogue first with the people,” she said.
“After that incident, he called the chairman of Okrika (local
government) and sacked him for holding a reception in our
honour; that boy was the first victim.
He also put my people on curfew for nine months. I called him
and pleaded with him but he refused. Then I began to hear all
sort of propaganda in the media against me; this is not the way.
I’ve never spoken about this issue but as men of God, I believe
you’ll say the truth always because there are a lot of conflicting
interests; some will hear one thing and say the exact opposite. I also want you to know the genesis of this problem and pray that
God touches Amaechi’s heart as per his hot temper because
when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.’’
Jonathan urged the parties involved in the crisis to help to
resolve issues plaguing the state and not whip up sentiments that
will aggravate the problem.
I appeal to Amaechi to sheathe his sword so that we can defend
our state and this country with love, unity, patriotism and truth
at all time.
“Hebrews 12:14 urges us to embrace peace with all men without
which, we cannot see God,” she said. “Amaechi is my son, I cannot fight him and I cannot kill him. He shouldn’t be used by
outsiders against his own blood because this seat is vanity. One
day, no matter how long it takes, we will leave this seat.
Power is not forever. This seat is vanity, others sat here and left
so one day I’ll also leave and we will meet at home; so why
should I fight him? Let’s take it easy, face issues, leave non-
existent matters, stop magnifying lies and respect our leaders
and people in authority. Let’s give peace a chance.”
Earlier, Bishop God-Do-Well Awomapara, Chairman, Niger
Delta Bishops Forum, who led the delegation, said the visit was
significant “in view of emerging situations in our region.
“We are on a quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding the
Rivers issue and mediate where necessary,” he said.

Foreign Affairs / Bombing Suspect Finally Caught (Pictures) by cynosure1(m): 9:26am On Apr 20, 2013
UPDATED: Apr 20, 2013 03:59 GMT
The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was taken
into custody Friday night, bringing to an end a massive manhunt
in the tense Massachusetts capital worried by warnings the man
was possibly armed with explosives.
After announcing the arrest on Twitter, Boston police tweeted:
"CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror
is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
Authorities confirmed the man in custody is 19-year-old Dzhokar
Tsarnaev, who escaped an overnight shootout with police that left
his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- the other man wanted in
the bombings -- dead.
The younger Tsarnaev was in serious condition, Boston Police
Commissioner Ed Davis said at a news conference. He was being
treated at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,
hospital spokeswoman Kelly Lawman said.
Tsarnaev was cornered late Friday as he was hiding on a boat in a
backyard of Watertown, a suburb of Boston.
Police were alerted to his whereabouts by a man who went
outside after authorities lifted an order for residents to stay inside
during the manhunt. The resident saw blood on a boat in the
backyard, Davis said. He then lifted up the tarp covering the boat
and "saw a man covered with blood," he said.
It was that call that resulted in an arrest less than a week after two
bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon,
shocking the nation and leaving a city on edge.
"There was an exchange of gunfire, and I don't know if he was
struck," Davis said of the suspect.
Authorities, using a bullhorn, had called on the suspect to
surrender: "Come out with your hands up."
Tsarnaev, according to authorities, refused to surrender.
"We used a robot to pull the tarp off the boat," David Procopio of
the Massachusetts State Police said. "We were also watching him
with a thermal imaging camera in our helicopter. He was
weakened by blood loss -- injured last night most likely,"
Tsarnaev was taken into custody after authorities rushed the boat,
Davis said.
Closing a chapter
The standoff and subsequent arrest came just minutes after
authorities indicated during a news conference that a manhunt for
the suspect appeared to come up empty.
Authorities had cast a wide net for the suspect, virtually shutting
down Boston and its surroundings after a violent night in which
authorities say the brothers allegedly hurled explosives at
pursuers, after killing Massachusetts Institute of Technology
police Officer Sean Collier and hijacking a car.
"We've closed an important chapter in this tragedy," President
Barack Obama said in a televised address. Even so, he vowed to
seek answers to the motive in the attack and find out whether the
suspects received any help to carry out their plot.
The government is invoking the public safety exception to
question Tsarnaev, meaning in cases of national security a person
can be questioned without being read their Miranda rights, a
Justice Department official told CNN on condition of anonymity.
The official is not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz told reporters the "government has
that opportunity right now" to invoke the public safety exemption
but stopped short of declaring it would take that step, saying only
the suspect was in the hospital.

Politics / FBI Needs Help In Identifying Boston Bomb Suspects by cynosure1(m): 11:02pm On Apr 18, 2013
The FBI on Thursday released photos and video of
two men it called suspects in the deadly bombings at the Boston
Marathon and pleaded for public help in identifying them.
The two men were photographed walking together near the
finish line of the marathon before the explosions that killed three
people and wounded about 180. One of the two men was seen
setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion, said
Special Agent Rick DesLauriers, the head of the FBI's Boston
office.
DesLauriers said the men should be considered armed and
"extremely dangerous.
The announcement capped a day in which President Barack
Obama brought a mixture of reassurance and defiance to an
interfaith memorial service in the city's Cathedral of the Holy
Cross. Whoever planted the bombs "picked the wrong city" to
attack, he said.
"Every one of us stands with you," Obama told the crowd.
"Boston may be your hometown -- but we claim it, too. ... For
millions of us, what happened on Monday is personal."
Addressing the still-unknown perpetrators, Obama added, "Yes,
we will find you. And yes, you will face justice. We will hold
you accountable."
Call 1-800-CALL-FBI if you have infomation about the 2 suspects.

Sports / Osaze Attacks West Brom On Twitter Again by cynosure1(m): 8:36am On Mar 18, 2013
Peter Odemwingie has launched a fresh Twitter attack
on West Brom after being consigned to the
substitutes’ bench since his failed bid to leave The
Hawthorns in January.
Odemwingie delivered a series of Twitter rants against the
club after having a transfer request rejected at the start of
the year, and he has once again vented his frustration after
being omitted from the Baggies’ starting line-up for the
last four games.
He tweeted on Sunday: “Keeping me on the bench now
is worst than what they did on the 31st. New advisers
told me to take saying its all my fault cos its better for
me. If they like they shouldn’t even give me 10 mins to
play. Threatening to ruin my career? Career I closed
already last summer? No harm to me. Want to treat
me like an average player. The abuse and praise I get
is it average ? So get some extra from me too.”
The 31-year-old striker had been a target of QPR
throughout January and had repeatedly voiced his
displeasure at not being allowed to leave. Odemwingie
then memorably turned up at Loftus Road without
permission on transfer deadline day only to be left in the
cold as his planned move to QPR collapsed, an act
described by Baggies head coach Steve Clarke as “total
lunacy”.
The Nigeria international last month apologised for his
actions during that period and also accepted the
disciplinary action taken by West Brom for his conduct.
The Baggies would have been hoping that was the end of
the issue but, after only featuring as a second-half
substitute in the club’s recent fixtures, Odemwingie has
once again hit out.
He continued: “Former Albion sporting director in the
presence of the new and Manager apologised to me in
private. Publicly not good ?
“Drive was lunacy ? Missing in the training section
that day also lunacy ? They forgot to complain about
that though cos they knew were I was.
“Things have almost got back to normal till Peter
spoilt it again. What’s normal ? We see things
differently obviously.
“Has anyone seen me give interview to clubs website
for a year now ? What about an interview in match
day magazine ? I am on my own there.
“Was ready to give half of the contract there and earn
less to make it happen. Forcing a move really is when
u want to leave 4 free.

Foreign Affairs / US Moving Navy Destroyers Off Coast Of Libya by cynosure1(m): 2:08pm On Sep 13, 2012
Two US Navy warships are moving towards the coast of
Libya, two US officials tell CNN. The destroyers are the USS
Laboon and the USS McFaul. Both ships are equipped with
tomahawk missiles that could be used if a strike was ordered.
Tomahawks are satellite-guided cruise missiles that can be
programmed to hit specific targets.
“These ships will give the administration flexibility,” a senior
official said, if the administration orders action against targets
in Libya.
The USS Laboon was making a port call in Crete, a few hours
from Libya, when it was ordered to reposition. The USS
McFaul was outside the Strait of Gibraltar, a few days sail
from Libya, and is headed to the Libyan coast.
The US Navy typically keeps up to four Aegis-equipped
missile warships ships in the eastern Mediterranean to aid in
defending Israel and missile defense for southern Europe. The
McFaul and Laboon were part of that deployment.

I think Man utd and Arsenal have the most loyal supporters. Most chelsea fans started following the club after Mourinho's first year though they are very loyal too. One cannot effectively determine who has the highest number of fans. All three-Chelsea,Arsenal and Man utd are much supported in Nigeria. I am Man utd fan though!
