Unemployed graduate bags 1-month imprisonment for stealing laptop
NAN-H-14
Stealing

Abuja, Dec. 9, 2015 (NAN) A Wuse Zone 2 Magistrates’ Court in Abuja on Wednesday sentenced a 27-year old unemployed graduate, Mukaila Akanni, to one month imprisonment for stealing a laptop at the American Embassy in Abuja.

Magistrate Fatima Bukar convicted Akanni of Peace Village, Lugbe, Airport Road, after he pleaded guilty to the charges leveled against him.

Bukar, however, gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N 50,000.

Earlier,the prosecutor, John Ijagbemi of the lFCT Police Command, said that one Johnson Adeyemi of American Embassy reported the case at Central Police Station Abuja on Nov. 26.

According to him, the convict entered the security post of the embassy and stole the laptop.

The prosecutor said the security guard on duty at the embassy apprehended the convict on his way out.

He said that the offence contravened provision of Section 287 of Penal Code Law.

The convict, however, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, saying he was a first offender.

He said that he was hungry and had not secured a job since he graduated from the Federal Polytechnic Nassarawa in Nassarawa State. (NAN)

Dr. Malinda Fasol
A good marriage takes talk, and talk takes time. If you need convincing, a television report just confirmed it: couples that communicate with each other at least 30 minutes a day are happier.

"Communicate" is a useful word, but my husband and I use the Latin communicare—meaning literally to come together because that's what we're learning to do in our conversation, our candor, and our marriage. Every couple forms its own habits, of course, but here are the "coming together" habits that work for us.

1. The morning vow.

Forbes said recently that a common thread of successful people is their commitment to early morning routines. Successful people allot chunks of those hours to what they love. So besides hygiene and exercise, at our house, our prime early hours include our vows. Out loud. My husband vows to love me "as Christ loved the church," and I vow to "love, cherish, honor, and respect" him. (I may add "and to have a gentle spirit" for those times of short patience and my sharp tongue.)

2. The nightly check-in.

Not just Forbes but the writer of Ecclesiastics says two are better than one because it improves the return for their labor. This is wisdom straight up. The sage continues, "If either falls, the one will lift up his companion." So in the evening, as we prepare for bed, my husband and I will check our companion status. "Did I honor my vow to you today?" The usual answer is "yes," but occasionally one of us has tripped, and in those cases, we tell the other of the slight, insult or hurtful thing done or said (or not done or said), followed by: "How may I make amends?" The effect is like turning an Etch-A-Sketch over and shaking hard; we have a new screen.

3. Affirm.

"What would you like me to know?" one of us asks. Or "What would you like to hear?" This part of communicare may prompt the other to say, "I need to hear ‘I love you,' or ‘I appreciate all you did today.'" Turns out neither of us reads minds; but if one partner can voice exactly what's needed, the other can respond. Check.

4. Confirm.

"Thanks for saying you appreciate all I got done today. That matters." Each of us wants to know we're on the other's radar. We're saying, "I hear you."

5. Pray.

Less than 1 percent of the couples that pray together daily will divorce, a stat says. Amen to that. Sometimes my husband prays out loud, sometimes I do. We thank God for the day, for doors that opened (or shut), for people, for our sacred relationships with Him and with each other.

Aristotle said we are what we repeatedly do and that excellence is no single act but a continued habit. And though he likely said it in Greek, I feel certain his words also made the circuit in Latin, bringing us back to what it means to "come together."

Whatever language you and your spouse use, the point is, as every mother tells her two year old, to "use your words." No day is problem-free, no marriage will be. But face time and talk, early and often, is the kind of all-year-long ritual that keeps the Valentine factor fresh.

I saw this on my friend DP from channel Television. Fuel scarcity Palava in Naija

During my school days, my lecturer was busy teaching us with passion collection of poems; we created interest in it the way he carried us along. It is unfortunate however that, we all laughed but failed to understand the message therein line by line. It is now that I see the reality of those poems.
THE LOOTERS.
At the beginning, they are seen mounting various foundations used at cajoling the innocent masses under the shoddy foundations, they provide water, provide rice and beans, provide kerosene, provide mobile health services, crawl from dusk to dawn, to canvass for people’s support, to buy people’s conscience, to pollute their minds with sweet, sweet sour promises.
At election time, the innocent masses vote for the gold diggers, unknowingly mortgage their precious bright future. The future of yet unborn generations, elections over-though doctored. They are sworn in driven in exotic cars sirens all over the places. At the mercy of the masses deafening their ears over the treasury.
They sit using pen to slit the wealth that belongs to us all at the chambers, no concrete debate, no genuine motion passed that can benefit the masses that languish in abject poverty on whose back they rode to power.
What a rotten nation to behold.

God Help Nigeria.... Amen

This is true my brother, but the most important thing is to commit it into God's hand. several people have gotten letters of introduction for job in the time past but they didn't do anything about it....

Please if i may ask you,, where are you sure that if you get the letter they will offer you job?,,, pls let people know about it.. it will be of help to the folks.

Thanks.

It’s admirable that there are rich people out there who choose to share their blessings with the poor folk. While tycoons like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are well known for their charitable giving, there are plenty of other dedicated philanthropists out there who decided to give their entire wealth away during their lifetime. This list shows those people who just couldn’t wait after their deaths to part with their money, and for that, they deserve a big round of applause.

10 From Mansion To Mud Jon Pedley lived the life of a swinging millionaire until an alcohol-fueled car accident in 2002 left him comatose and on the verge of death. Miraculously, he survived, and soon experienced a profound change of heart. The UK millionaire—who indulged in alcohol, womanizing, and other vices—later found God and was inspired by the charity work of his friend in Uganda.He decided to emulate his friend, and literally gave it all away in 2010 as he sold his $1.5 million farmhouse and businesses. Pedley then used the proceeds to move to a mud hut in Uganda and start a charity for local orphans. The charity wasn’t only for the local children, either—British children with a troubled past were also sent there to help the locals and ultimately help themselves. For Pedley, it was a cathartic release from his once-decadent lifestyle—he remarked that “I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life” when asked if he really wanted to go through with it.


9 The World’s Luckiest An 81-year-old Croatian music teacher named Frano Selak led what was arguably one of the most charmed lives ever. He escaped death seven times—including falling from a plane to car and train accidents—before winning nearly $1 million in a raffle draw. However, Selak felt that money wasn’t the path to true happiness, so in 2010, he decided to part with his newfound wealth.He sold the upscale house on a private island he bought and gave it, along with the rest of his winnings, to his friends and family. He then moved back to his original home in Petrinja, where he has vowed to live a simpler life. He used his remaining money to construct a memorial to the Virgin Mary as a token of gratitude for his incredibly good luck. In addition, Selak set aside just enough money for a hip operation so he could spend more time with his wife.8 The Millionaire Columnistmedfr03637
Percy Ross, who died in 2001, was the son of a junk dealer in Minnesota and lived a rather hard-knock life. In his adult years, he lost money just as easily as he made it while doing odd jobs. He finally hit it big when he bought and saved a plastic bag company from going bankrupt. By 1977, Ross had gone into the business of giving when he donated more than a thousand bikes to children at a Christmas Party. The following year, he doled out nearly $20,000 to onlookers at a local parade.However, Ross wanted to reach a wider audience, so in 1983, he started a newspaper column. Titled “Thanks A Million,” the column—which ran in 800 newspapers for 16 years—was a massive success and saw thousands of people who write and ask Ross for money. Oftentimes, Ross gleefully handed money and checks in person to those he felt needed help, but he did not hesitate to turn down requests from people whom he thought had the means to get the money for themselves.Ross did his last column in 1999 and stated that he had given out $30 million—all of his money. While Ross expressed no remorse for his style of philanthropy, he thanked his readers for the true happiness he experienced while he shared his fortune. It’s easy to dismiss Ross as nothing more than a publicity-hog, but he really did enjoy sharing his wealth among the less fortunate.

7 Chinese Billionaire Left Nothing To His Sons Real estate and hotel tycoon Yu Panglin announced in 2010 that he had donated his remaining $470 million to his charity foundation, which became worth $1.2 billion. Yu stated that he did not want to leave anything to his two sons and encouraged his wealthy compatriots to do the same. To avoid abuse, Yu designated HSBC to look after the funds and gave explicit instructions no one could invest or inherit it.Yu later explained his philanthropic views stemmed from his childhood experiences. He grew up in poverty and witnessed the hardships the poor have had to endure in life. He also explained that he left nothing to his two sons because all that money might corrupt them and expressed his belief that could they handle themselves without it. Such generosity has placed him consistently as China’s top philanthropist for several years in a row.

6 The Low-Key Billionaire Philanthropist Most people have heard of the generosity of the likes of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, as mentioned earlier, only a few may have heard of Chuck Feeney. That is because the Irish-American billionaire has always insisted on doing philanthropy as discreetly as he can. For the past 30 years, Feeney has secretly given as much as $6.2 billion from his vast financial empire to charities and causes worldwide.It is estimated that the $1.3 billion he has left will be used up by 2016, with his foundation closing by 2020. Feeney, who made his vast fortune in duty-free shops, made no secret of his desire to be penniless before he dies. He hopes that his example will serve as a guide to his fellow wealthy philanthropists not to wait before their deaths before sharing their wealth. In fact, Feeney’s life served to inspire both Gates and Buffett to start their own foundations.

5 The Russian Businessman-Turned-MonkMonk hands Yevgeny Pushenko had a good thing going for him back in the 1990s. The Soviet Union had just broken up and people were free to pursue their dreams. For Pushenko, that freedom enabled him to construct a clothing factory in his hometown of Vladivostok. Soon, business was booming and he had 50 factory workers at one point. However, Pushenko felt empty. Until then, he had not really practiced his faith as an Orthodox Christian, which was suppressed for so long by the authorities.It wouldn’t be long before he met his friends over vodka (of course) and handed them the keys to his factory. His shocked friends found out the reason from his parents the next day: He wanted to be a monk and do a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. For three years, Pushenko walked 15,000 kilometers (9,320 mi) through several countries until he finally reached his destination. Pushenko endured many trials during his journey, from battling extreme weather to fending off suspicious authorities, but remarked that his faith kept him going. After he had finished his pilgrimage, Pushenko renamed himself Athanassios and retired to Mt. Athos in Greece, where he has since resided at a monastery.

4 The Millionaire Who Fights Cancer With CharityAlthough he had been already involved in various charities for a long time, it was the sight of his own wife suffering breast cancer that moved British businessman Brian Burnie to do something more. He did just that in 2009 when he sold his $26 million estate containing his home and luxurious hotel to fund his own charity, which involved accompanying and transporting cancer patients for free from their homes to the hospitals. Burnie explained that he wanted to help lessen the suffering that cancer patients often had to go through and hoped that his act would inspire other wealthy people to do the same.That wasn’t the last of Burnie’s generosity. In 2012, he also sold his second house, which was worth nearly $1 million, where he and his wife had been residing in after he sold the estate. He then gave all the proceeds to fund his ever-growing charity and has been living frugally ever since.

3 Film Director Exchanges Hollywood Lifestyle For Simpler One Although he lived the Hollywood lifestyle befitting the rich and famous, deep down inside, Tom Shadyac wasn’t happy. The director of hit films such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Nutty Professor felt empty amid the fame and fortune he had acquired over the years. That feeling of emptiness was only aggravated when a serious cycling accident in 2007 left him reeling and pondering about his own mortality.As he revealed in an interview with Oprah, Shadyac discovered that the way to live a truly happy life was to live within your means and share your extras with the less fortunate. For Shadyac, that meant trading his mansions and jets for a mobile home and a bike and sharing his wealth and philosophy with the rest of the world. He remarked this year that his simple way of living has left him feeling truly happier and wealthier than when he lived in the fast lane in Hollywood.

2 The Texas Tycoon Who Died In A Small Room George Carroll was born in 1855 and grew up in Louisiana, but transferred with his family to Beaumont, Texas, where his father started a chain of lumber companies in 1868. Carroll worked for his father and managed to become the head of the family business. In 1892, he invested in a successful oil-drilling company which made soon made him extremely rich.However, Carroll realized the oil boom also influenced the townspeople toward a life of excess and vice. Consequently, he unsuccessfully ran for political office several times to combat town’s growing decadence. A practicing Baptist, Carroll frequently made huge donations to the local Baptist church and university. He also founded the local YMCA and became its head and benefactor. It is speculated that Carroll gave away his entire wealth while he was alive, later dying at the age of 80 in a small room inside the very YMCA building he financed.

1 Millionaire Gives Money . . . And KidneyZell Kravinsky knew he wasn’t cut out for the wealthy way of living. Sure, he had made millions investing in real estate in his native Pennsylvania, but Kravinsky decided his dollars had a grander purpose than just fattening his bank account. In 2001, he began donating money and land to various charities until his contributions reached $45 million dollars. By then, his family and friends thought that he was being too impulsive, but Kravinsky brushed their reservations aside and said that he could always earn more money—though he’d likely give it away as well.However, Kravinsky still felt that donating money and land wasn’t enough. He decided up the ante and gave his kidney to a total stranger. His move was met with mixed views, ranging from praise to disbelief. Even his wife threatened to leave him, although that was later defused thanks to famous singer Pat Boone, who knew what Kravinsky did and urged her to forgive him for being too generous. As for Kravinsky, he said that he would readily give any of his body parts again for any who needed it.Marc V. is always open for a conversation, so do drop him a line sometime.

When it comes to giving God what you have (i.e. your talents, your tithes and offerings) God will bless you in your faithfulness and answering his calling on your life. Like, if you are called of God to help the homeless (just an example) or even if you have artistic talents, you can use that for God and he will bless you in return. Yes, even artists can work in the kingdom of God by helping with children’s programs, backgrounds, designs, power points, etc. It doesn't matter. Give your talents to God and use them for His glory and he will open up doors for you and provide for you, even in your darkest hour. For tithing, it is your responsibility to give one tenth of the money you make to your church. Don't think of it as paying for a church. This is a biblical principle talked about in Malachi 3:10 and really, a tenth of everything you owe and give is God's. So really, you are giving it to God. No, God doesn't use the money. But the church of God does to meet the needs of bills, payments, and furthering the kingdom of God. Offering is something besides your 10% you give to God, which is a stretching of your faith by sacrificing and giving more unto the Lord. It is not required, but very much upheld. There is another biblical principle stated in Luke 6:38 (Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.) Also, in Matthew 6:33, it says that you should seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Then, all these thing shall be added unto you. That is why it is important to give to God.

1. When he got tired of her outbursts.
"I had a car accident. Lost my job. I was still depressed about family member passing away. My wife decides she really wants a gold watch. I tell her I can't afford to spend money on something like that in our current situation. She shuts herself in the bathroom to cry. That was the first time I didn't react to that tactics. She comes out few hours later and asks me outright if I want a divorce. That wasn't even on my mind until that point, but that was the moment I knew."

2. When the trust was gone.
"It was when I caught myself photographing street signs on my 25-minute journey home from work so that there would be a time stamp of the entire route to disprove constant accusations that I was cheating on her... After that, I just left."

3. When his wife became a glorified roommate.
"The last year together we felt more like roommates than lovers. She stopped being interested in spending time with me, we stopped showering together and began sleeping at opposite times. She was generally unhappy all of the time. I really wanted to salvage the marriage, but I knew it was over when she finally told me that she just didn't love me."

4. When the math didn't add up.
"Came home from a seven-month deployment overseas to find a five-month pregnant wife. I'm no mathematician but I figured that one out."

5. When he was suffering from depression and she laughed it off.
"I was telling her about how depressed and hopeless I was feeling. I described it partially as an existential crisis. She laughed at me. She literally laughed in my face regarding my pain. That was the day I realized I didn't really matter to her."

6. When he realized she didn't believe in his dreams.
"Five years ago, I told her I wanted to get out of the military and study to become a doctor. She's a scientist but she acted like it was the most ridiculous thing I could ever try to do. Her exact words were, 'You can't just decide to be a doctor.' Imagine researching and thinking about something for an entire year and then telling your best friend your hopes and dreams and they just look at you like you're silly ... I started med school four weeks ago. I'm not bitter but she's going to be really f*cking surprised if she ever decides to do some Google stalking."

7. When he disagreed with her on how they'd raise their future children.
"When my wife stated that any children we had would be homeschooled by her (she never graduated high school) and weren't going to get vaccinations. This was non-negotiable. I was young at the time and honestly, it never occurred to me until we had that discussion how much it meant to me. I (naively) figured it was a given."

8. When he became indifferent to the cheating.
"The precise moment was a few months ago when her long and frequent infidelities stopped making me furious. The anger switched off and I realized, it's finally over, thank God. I can now plan the end of this toxic marriage."

9. When he decided to put his daughter first.
"My second wife and I got along great, but over time the relationship she had with my daughter from a previous marriage got worse and worse. I tried not to blame her; she just wasn't ready to be a mom to someone else's child. It was hard to accept that, though. We tried counseling briefly but she felt counseling was for 'crazy people and she [wasn't] crazy.' Eventually, my daughter and I left. I hoped she would change her mind and decide to work things out with us, but it didn't happen. I had to do what was right for my daughter even if it hurt."

10. When he realized that having hobbies of his own was off-limits.
"My ex and I were watching 'Knocked Up.' It came to the scene where the wife is tracking the husband down to catch him while he was 'cheating.' Turns out, he had just snuck off to go to a baseball draft. My ex turned to me and said, 'See how terrible and selfish he is for sneaking around like that?' I looked at her and said, 'See how terrible she is for oppressing his hobbies and dreams so much that he has to resort to sneaking around in order to enjoy them?' I realized right then that she'd done that to me. She had oppressed me, chained me with guilt over my hobbies being immature and childish. She guilt-tripped me because my hobbies took time away from her. Meanwhile, she would never take up any hobbies or interests of her own despite me encouraging her."

11. When he had the commute from hell and she didn't care.
"I had to work late one dark winter night, missed my regular train, took a loooong bus and had to walk home a couple of miles from the bus stop in the freezing cold. She couldn't be bothered to come pick me up because she didn't want to leave her yoga class early. It had been 20 years of bad stuff, but that was the night I decided it was over. She realized what she had done later, but it was too late then."

@ awesomeness, i will start by saying that, effective communication is important in marriage, sometimes if your emmotional life is poor then automatically d communication will be poor. I will give u some key points-. 1. Ensure to start each day with God as a family. 2. Try as much as possible to comunicate even d worst thing to him, talk what is talkable, 3. Impove on ur emmotional life, for instance, is he the one that is emmotionally active or u?, pls work on urself, always give him a remarkable & wonderful exprience. In a nutshell, always pray for God to change him.

This is very interesting arguement, the fact is that, if a customer lost his or her money to robbers even at the counter when d teller had already received the cash but had not stamp it. The customer is on his own. The only thing that we make bank liable is when the bank official/staff stamp d deposit slip.
