Politics / DSS: We Have Invited Asari-dokubo Over Inflammatory Statements by drsolob2(m): 7:30am On Feb 06, 2015 |
Contrary to insinuations in some quarters that the Department of State Services (DSS) has not deemed it fit to invite the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteers Force (NDVF), Mujahid Asari- Dokubo, over the inflammatory comments he made recently, the service said on Thursday it had invited ex- militant leaders several times. The spokesperson of the DSS, Marilyn Ogar, disclosed this while responding to a question at a news conference organised by the National Information Centre. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Oga said: “First of all, whatever is the operational procedures that we take after we have issued out warnings, we do not make them public. “And I want you to recollect that Asari- Dokubo has been brought into the office – DSS, a couple of times. “It is not in the position of the office to begin to tell you who has been brought in or who has not been brought in. “We still stand by our words that whoever in any way would want to interfere or interrupt the peace that prevails, he or she would definitely be dealt with,’’ Ogar said. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/dss-we-have-invited-asari-dokubo-over-inflammatory-statements/201129/ |

Politics / American Man Sends Over $100,000 To Wife In Nigeria He’s Never Met. by drsolob2(m): 7:21am On Feb 06, 2015 |
A 53-year-old man who has sent over $100,000 to a woman he has never met in Nigeria insists he is only providing financial assistance until she inherits $25.6 million from her dead parents. Steve appeared on the talk show, Dr. Phil, to discuss his unusual relationship with 'Kelly' whom he met on an online dating website in 2012. He says the pair are legally married in Nigeria, even though he has never met her and they usually only communicate online. Steve says he has been giving her the money for the last few years to help her until she receives her inheritance from her parents - she claims they were killed in an Ohio car crash in 2012. Steve sells his plasma - a yellowish liquid that has to be separated from blood - twice a week to ensure he can make payments to 'Kelly' who lives with 'James,' her 'attorney.' I've sent Kelly about $103,000 in the last 29 months,' he said on the show as a flabbergasted audience listened. 'I've not met Kelly, but it doesn't matter. I love her just the same. 'She has an inheritance coming, and I've always wanted to be a millionaire, so it's like a match made in heaven.' 'I just love her. She is very beautiful and warm, kind, caring and loving.' Steve says he has not met 'Kelly' as she needs to stay in Nigeria to help with signing the inheritance forms. He said that 'Kelly' came back to the US he tried to meet her, but it didn't work out. But when Dr. Phil's team analysed an email she sent Steve claiming she was in South Dakota, the IP address revealed it was sent from Nigeria. 'Kelly' told Steve she went to a nursing school in North Dakota, but when the show contacted the school they said no one with her name had ever been enrolled. But 'Kelly' is not the only person Steve is sending money to - he says he is an accountant, and insists he is on the verge of becoming a multi-millionaire from several pending inheritance deals with overseas clients. He says he is sending them money to cover their legal fees as they fight to obtain their inheritances. But he is now on probation for cashing a fraudulent cheque that was sent to him from Africa - he was asked to cash it to help a 'client whose life was in danger' and then asked to send $5,000 to five people listed. However the bank picked up on it and he was arrested. Steve's sister, Tammy, says she is worried, as he has been scammed in the past. She is asking him to cut ties with 'Kelly' - and his other so-called clients. 'My brother is delusional,' Tammy says. ''Kelly' could be a Nigerian man behind a computer.' www.thisdaylive.com/articles/american-man-sends-over-100-000-to-wife-in-nigeria-he-s-never-met/201135/ |

Politics / PDP Alleges Edo Govt Plan To Sell Army Barracks by drsolob2(m): 6:59am On Jan 29, 2015 |
BENIN—The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State has raised alarm over what it described as the alleged plot by the state government to sell the Nigerian Army Barracks in Ikpoba Hill, Benin City, due to alleged lack of funds for capital development. State Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih, also described the approval of the 27.5 percent allowance for teachers and other actions of Governor Adams Oshiomhole as panic measures to deceive eligible voters in the state to cast their votes for All Progressives Congress, APC, in next month’s elections. He said: “As I talk to you, the state government is planning to sell the land presently being occupied by the Nigerian Army barracks at Ikpoba Hill and all these are efforts by the state government to raise money at all costs to remain afloat and I want to assure Edo people that all that will be reverted through legal means as soon as the PDP government takes over power in 2016. “When I criticized the state government for its inability to commence all the projects earmarked for execution as a result of lack of funds due to its insolvency, they came up the next day to say that the state was not broke and that I was lying, only to come up few weeks later to say the state was applying for World Bank loan for erosion project in the state.” Orbih who spoke in Benin, while receiving a defector from the APC to PDP from Ovia South-West Local Government Area, Charles Amadasu, said: “We had earlier stopped them from selling Edo House in Lagos through court injunction and that case is still on and it will not be disposed off in the next three years and I can assure you with all confidence that Edo House will not be sold by the state government.” But reacting to the alleged plan to sell the Army Barracks land at Ikpoba Hill by the state government, the state Publicity Secretary of APC, Godwin Erhahon, said: “First, I am not in a position to confirm that but if the government has any reason to put the land into proper use for the benefit of the people and decides to allocate it to individuals, what is the business of the PDP?” www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/pdp-alleges-edo-govt-plan-sell-army-barracks/ |
Politics / An Open Letter To Gen BUHARI by drsolob2(m): 12:33pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
A NIGERIAN YOUTH WROTE THIS LETTER TO BUHARI. Sir, let us examine your service records. I consider your generation a very privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at the age of 33, you were appointed the Military Governor of the North-Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states. In 1976 at the age of 34 you became the Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at the age of 36 you became the Chairman of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Today the reverse is the case. Most Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with parents. Many are still not married. During your time you were already Governor at this age. One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that many elders like you have refused to voluntarily handover the baton to the next generation. Life should be a relay race where one runs his race and hands over to the next. In Nigeria many elders like you have run their races and are still holding on tenaciously to the baton. But Sir, I have an important question here for you. The question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT THE PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous to imagine that you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity. During the regime of late General Sani Abacha, you accepted the appointment to serve as the Chairman of the then Petroleum Trust Fund PTF. The general opinion was that you served faithfully in this capacity. Well done Sir! But you never asked Abacha to vacate office for you as your former subordinate in the army. Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous move, if not suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your former junior in the army. Sir, imagine if you take on another job like the Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need you to serve in one of these capacities much more than they need you in the Presidency. Mere mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive many corrupt men underground. But you wouldn’t . Either the Presidency or nothing. When are you going to handover to the next person? It is either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace at the polls. In 1983 at the age of 41, you became the Head of State. Most Nigerians in my age have not had the opportunity to serve, but we still remain committed to the Nigerian project. You should rather be graceful to God and to Nigerians for the numerous opportunities that have come your way to serve Nigerians. Others are begging for just one opportunity to serve. Sir, you have to accept the stark reality on ground that you have served your time already. That is life for you. You run the race, you handover the baton for others to run, you cannot hold on to the baton more than is necessary. As a former head of State you are already a member of the Council of State Meeting. You have every avenue to channel your views across. You don’t necessarily have to be in a front-line role, you can serve in an advisory capacity. That is still service. In conclusion, It is crystal clear that you cannot defeat President Jonathan in a free, fair and credible election, even in Katsina State. Sentiments aside, Jonathan would cruise to a landslide victory come February 14th, 2015. In fairness to you Sir, any of your Children would pose a serious challenge to Jonathan more than yourself. I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year old former Head of state to lead us in this Digital era. With due respect to you Sir, you belong to the Analogue age and therefore, will not fit in as president in this digital era. This is the blunt truth. Please do not enter the Guinness book of world records on a negative note. Losing four consecutive Presidential election would not augur well for your reputation. It is in your best interest to assume your position as an elder statesman and allow others to serve. Nigeria does not belong to you alone. It belongs to us all. copy and post on your wall let it go round, is time we youth tell our self the truth |

Politics / Don’t Dump PDP, Jonathan Begs Aggrieved Aspirants by drsolob2(m): 8:15am On Dec 22, 2014 |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday appealed to all the Peoples Democratic Party aspirants who are aggrieved as a result of the outcome of its primaries across the country not to leave the party. He said the party leadership was working hard to resolve the conflicts thrown up by the primaries in many states. Jonathan spoke at the PDP Fund Raising Dinner, held at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Many state chapters of the party are currently enmeshed in controversy over alleged cases of imposition of candidates, either by state governors or the national headquarters of the PDP. The situation has led to many party stalwarts leaving the party or threatening to leave. Among those who have left to join the opposition All Progressives Congress were Jonathan’s former Minister of State, Industry, Trade and Investment, Samuel Ortom, after he failed to clinch the party’s governorship ticket in Benue State. Jonathan, however, said it was better for aggrieved party members to remain in the system to correct whatever they felt was wrong in the party than jumping ship. Although he said conscious efforts were being made to resolve the post-primaries crisis in some states, the President admitted that all the cases might not be resolved to the satisfaction of all the parties concerned. He, however, said the party would be guided by the issues raised when preparing for the primaries of the 2019 elections. He said, “We all appreciate that throughout the congresses where primaries were conducted, there have been some outstanding issues. The party is working to resolve these issues. Definitely, in such a situation, all may not be resolved to the satisfaction of everybody. “But my plea to party members is to remain committed to the party; stay with the party. “I know other parties are wooing some of you to contest elections on their platforms, but if you believe in democracy then you will contribute to strengthening it. “The only way you can strengthen democracy is for you to stay in your party. “If there are some issues you feel are not too correct, it behoves on us to stay together and correct them. That is the only way we can grow democracy. “If out of anger or frustration, you leave the party because you didn’t get what you wanted, then you are not contributing to the growth of democracy.” The President said the major task before the ruling party was to ensure that the country remain united. While thanking those who donated the over N21bn realised at the dinner, he said the money was needed to build a formidable party. He observed that if parties were tied around individuals, there would be dictatorial tendencies in such parties. He promised that the money realised would be judiciously utilised, like his administration had done with the different funds raised earlier. Describing his administration as business- friendly, he promised donors of more policies that would promote enterprise and industry. But some of the aggrieved chieftains of the party including a former national chairman of the party, Senator Barnabas Gemade, a former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, who recently left the party, said they could only return to the PDP if the problems that led to their defection were tackled objectively. Gemade, who left the PDP to protest what he said was a primary skewed in favour of the incumbent Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, told one of our correspondents in a telephone interview that nobody had appealed to him. Asked if he would yield to President Jonathan’s appeal not to leave the party, he said, “Nobody has made any appeal to me. I won’t be able to make comment on something that has not happened.” www.punchng.com/news/dont-dump-pdp-jonathan-begs-aggrieved-aspirants-2/ |

Dele Ogbodo in Abuja Following the sack of over 187 staffers of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the suspension of two of its Directors, by the federal government, the Ministry of Aviation, including its agencies' over 830 members of staff have been gripped by palpable fear as they await the final outcome of the audit report constituted by the minister, Mr. Osita Chidoka, THISDAY can confidently report. The ministry’s agencies are: the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), NCAA, Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority (NAMA) the Nigeria College Aviation Technology (NCAT) and the Accident Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIPB). A senior official of one of the agencies, who spoke under anonymity with THISDAY on telephone on Saturday said the palpable fear gripping the agency is becoming obvious, adding that there is visible fear at the agency as staff are even afraid of going on their annual leave to enable them keep an eye on emerging wind of sack at the ministry. He said the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the ministry and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has created more fears within the industry, adding that the news going round is that all the agencies have been directed to shed weight.

Health / Study Suggests Milk Doesn't Strengthen Your Bones - It Ages You Instead by drsolob2(m): 11:59am On Oct 31, 2014 |
We’ve been brought up to think that drinking milk is good for our bones, but new research suggests that not only is this false, but the sugars in it may actually be accelerating the ageing process. A research team from Uppsala University in Sweden has found that women who drink more than three glasses of milk per day were more likely to break their bones than women who drank less. This finding was part of a study conducted on more than 100,000 people in Sweden, based on how much diary they habitually consumed. The researchers monitored the diets of 61,400 women between 1987 and 1990 and 45,300 men through 1997 by asking them to fill out questionaries on how often they ate common dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yoghurt. The health of the female participants was monitored for 20 years after the questionnaires, and for 11 years afterwards for the males. Publishing their results in the BMJ, the team says that in women, high milk intake led to a greater risk of bone fracture, and in both men and women, it was associated with a higher mortality rate. "Women who drank three or more glasses a day had twice the chance of dying at the end of the study than those who drank less than one glass a day,” lead researcher Karl Michaelsson, a professor in medical epidemiology at Uppsala University, told BBC News. "And those who had a high milk intake also had a 50 percent higher risk of hip fracture." Interestingly, unlike milk, when the diary product was fermented, like in yoghurt, the results were reversed. The participants who consumed more yoghurt showed a decreased risk of experiencing bone fractures. Michaelsson told BBC News that the difference could be down to the sugars that are found in milk - lactose and galactose. Both have been shown to accelerate ageing processes such as inflammation and oxidative stress in previous research using animals. While the study involved a good amount of participants and was conducted over a relatively long period of time, the researchers are careful to point out that they’re not ready to draw causal conclusions just yet. Something they want to look at in the future is if alcohol consumption and weight could have had an effect on the results. “As milk features in many dietary guidelines and both hip fractures and cardiovascular disease are relatively common among older people, improving the evidence base for dietary recommendations could have substantial benefits for everyone,” epidemiologist Mary Schooling from the City University of New York in the US, wrote in an accompanying editorial in the BMJ. sciencealert.com.au/news/20143010-26428.html 1 Share
