Nairaland / General / Nigerian Scientists Warns That Excessive Use Of Solar Panels Could Drain The Sun by Rapidnews220: 9:45am On Dec 31, 2021
A group of researchers from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri has made a startling discovery claiming that solar panels not only convert the sun’s energy into a usable form but are also draining the sun of its own energy which may lead to far more catastrophic consequences than global warming. The lead researcher Prof Isaiah Pintama argued that the energy radiated from the sun is not only captured by the solar panel but that some energy is also physically drawn directly from the core of the sun by the panels through a mechanism that is yet to be fully understood.



“We know that there are three modes of heat transfer. The mechanisms involved in all three are fully understood. But our study has established a fourth which is akin to draining a swamp from a distance without any physical intervening medium. In this process the solar panels pulls on the sun forcing more energy to be released than the sun is actually producing”, the Professor of Energy Security told YeyeNews.com.

Nairaland / General / Escaped Inmate In Jos Prison Left Note Promising To Return Soon – Ncos Official by Rapidnews220: 8:44am On Dec 29, 2021
An inmate who escaped from the recent jailbreak in Jos left a note in his cell promising to return back soon, an official of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) told YeyeNews.com. The source said the inmate left the note scribbled on the floor of his cell saying he has some important business to take care of but promise to be back shortly.



“We believe that the heavy shootout with the invaders gave the inmate the opportunity to escape out of the facility by scaling over the back fence. We are surprised that he promised to return after he has sought out his issues on the outside”, the NCoS official said.

Sports / Transgender Boxer Advises Sergio Aguero To Transition Into A Woman And Compete by Rapidnews220: 8:38am On Dec 29, 2021
Transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox who broke the skull of her opponent in a fight has advised Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero not to retire from football. Fox who transitioned to a woman and now competes in the female category of the mixed martial art gave the advice in ‘her’ goodwill message to Aguero as the player announced his retirement from active football due to a heart defect.




“I wish you well Sergio”, Fallon Fox wrote on her Facebook page. “I am sad you have chosen to retire from the sport you loved so much even though there are options you could have taken. It would have been great to watch you play in the female football league as a transgender athlete. The pace of the game at that level is unlikely to affect your health adversely. This is something I think you should consider. But I wish you the best in whatever you choose to do”.

Politics / Incoming Gov. Soludo Will Rehabilitate ‘meth’ Addicts, Teach Them Comput by Rapidnews220: 8:29am On Dec 29, 2021
As part of his plans to resurrect the Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) of former Gov. Peter Obi, the incoming governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, will make it a priority to rehabilitate meth addicts who are becoming a menace and a spectacle across Anambra State and on social media so to help every onye Anambra to be part of the coming transformation.


According to Prof. Soludo’s Special Assistant on Youth Development and Empowerment, Mr. Ifeanyi Okeke, who spoke to YeyeNews.com, resurrecting ANIDS, which is a developmental program that is grassroot-oriented and at the same time transforming and encompassing every sphere of human and capital development, would not yield the desired result if we did not turn back the current trend of meth epidemic in Anambra State. “It is a scourge, and it is not abetting, even as communities take matters into their hands by meting out different forms of cruel and un-Igbo punishments’, he said.

Nairaland / General / Ministry Of Information And Culture Budgets Two Billion Naira To Hire Consultant by Rapidnews220: 8:55am On Dec 22, 2021
Sources in the Ministry of Information has revealed that the ministry budgeted two billion naira in the 2022 budget to hire consultants to create propaganda materials for the government. The consultants will assist Alhaji Lai Mohammed who seems to have run out of lies. “You know this government survives on lies. Lai Mohammed has been the engine room of lies but recently he has been finding it difficult to come up with new lies. Anything that he or others managed to come up with happened to have been told by him previously. They are desperate to fill the void. That is the reason such large sum was budgeted for that purpose. Lies will become truths in 2022”, a source told YeyeNews.com.


“The president approved the ministry’s proposal to hire external workers and contractors to come up with lies, deceptions and subterfuge because it seems that we cannot come with anything original anymore. We are in such a dilemma. These contractors that the ministry wants to hire will hopefully resolve matters. They are internationally renown for aggressively pushing alternative facts especially to influence political decisions”, another source in the Ministry of Information told YeyeNews.com.

Religion / Pastor Says Jesus Yet To Return Because People Are Not Giving Enough Tithes And by Rapidnews220: 8:47am On Dec 22, 2021
A Pentecostal Pastor in Port Harcourt, Apostle Divine Godsent, has claimed that Jesus is yet to return because people are not giving enough tithes and offerings to the churches. The Apostle accused Christians of not being generous to the church but continue to hope that Jesus will return soon to rapture them. “I honestly think that the reason why Jesus is yet to return and the rapture hasn’t occurred is because people are not giving the way God told them to give. If you understand this, you can speed up the time”.


In a video of the church service seen by YeyeNews.com reporter, Apostle Godsent further said that if members of the congregation called a certain number displayed on the projector screen, “God the Father will direct Jesus to answer the calls and when Jesus answers your call it means all your worries are over. But you must be prepared to give generously to keep the line active. Maintaining an heavenly SIM card is not cheap”.

Politics / We Don’t Want To Be Equal With Men: Northern Women Warn Senators Not To Entertai by Rapidnews220: 6:37am On Dec 17, 2021
Women in northern Nigeria under the aegis of Progressive Women of Northern Nigeria (PWNN) has called on the Senate to throw out any bill seeking to establish equality between men and women in the country. In a letter sent to the senate president the group threatened to occupy the National Assembly if the senators proceed with the consideration of any such bill.



“We represent the progressive women in northern Nigeria. We are using this medium to convey our disapproval of any attempt to legislate any form of equality between men and women under any guise. We are subject to the Quran which is superior to any human written law. Our place is in the home of the man whose authority over us is unchallengeable. We are therefore putting the senate on notice that any attempt to make any law to the contrary will leave us with no option than to occupy the National Assembly”.



A member of the PWNN told YeyeNews.com that the prevalent view among the women of the region is that the move to make men and women equal is a ploy by southern women to introduce vices into the lives of northern women. She said because of the freedom enjoyed by southern women they have imbibed a lot of vices. “They dress loosely exposing their flesh; they don’t see anything wrong going out with a man that is not their husband and the married ones argue with their husbands. These are things they want to introduce to our young girls through that law. We don’t want any equality. The northern woman is satisfied with are position”.

A teacher in an elite primary school in Victoria Island Lagos has been sacked for “inappropriate behavior” during a Primary V sex education lesson.

Nairaland / General / Insecurity: Santa Claus Now Hires Mobile Police Escorts For Protection by Rapidnews220: 6:21am On Dec 17, 2021
The insecurity in Nigeria has become so endemic to the extent that Santa Claus popularly known as Father Christmas have started moving around with armed mobile police escorts, YeyeNews.com can authoritatively report. A source in one of the elite private schools in Abuja revealed that the Santa Claus that the school contracted for their annual Christmas party showed up with a retinue of heavily armed mobile police escorts. “When the Santa Claus was asked why he decided to hire armed escorts, he said it was to prevent him from falling victim to the marauding kidnappers in the FCT”, the source said.



YeyeNews.com was able to speak with a source who work with one of the companies providing Santa Claus services in Abuja. The source pointed out that all the service providers now attach at least two armed mobile police escorts, not only to protect their Santa Claus from the kidnappers rampaging the city but also against many petty thieves who steal for their daily survival. “No one is taking chances in this city anymore because the criminals don’t spare any category of persons. Even if Jesus Christ walks these streets he may be kidnapped with no qualms. That is how bad things have gotten although the government has refused to acknowledge it. Now we don’t have a choice but to take measures to protect ourselves including providing armed guards for Santa Claus”.

Nairaland / General / Bobrisky Invites Friends To His Ordination As Deacon by Rapidnews220: 11:51am On Dec 13, 2021
Nigeria’s popular crossdresser Bobrisky will be ordained as a deacon on Sunday in a Pentecostal church in Lekki, Transformation Ministries, sources have revealed to YeyeNews.com. In the invitation sent to friends and associates by the popular crossdresser through his personal assistant, the ordination ceremony will be conducted by the senior pastor of church at their ultramodern auditorium by 10am on Sunday.



“What many people know about Bobrisky is just what he projects to the outside. Those of us close to him know that Bobrisky is a deeply religious man. He is a devoted Christian who is very involved in all church activities. So this ordination is not a surprise to us. We see nothing strange”, an associate of Bobrisky told YeyeNews.com reporter.



However, some Nigerians have frowned at the decision of the church to ordain Bobrisky arguing that the church is encouraging perverse behavior by the action. But to counter that accusation, a pastor of the church who pleaded anonymity explained to YeyeNews.com that the bible never barred anyone from coming into the church. Bobrisky is only a crossdresser and you will agree with us that what is acceptable to wear varies between cultures and prevailing believes of the age. So, it is not our duty to regulate what people wear. Our duty as a church is to nurture believers in the word of God and not to police their choice of dressing”, the pastor said.

Nairaland / General / She Lied, I Always Satisfy Her With My Tongue: FFK Reacts To Ex Wife’s Allegatio by Rapidnews220: 11:38am On Dec 13, 2021
Femi Fani Kayode has denied the allegations of his ex wife that he did not perform his manly duties in the bedroom. The ex wife, Precious Chikwendu, recently alleged in court documents that FFK was all mouths and could not even perform basic bedroom duties as a husband. But sources close to the former minister told YeyeNews.com that he confided in them that Miss Precious was fabricating lies against him in order to tarnish his rising political profile.



One of FFK’s close associates revealed that the politician is sad over the allegations. “The man is not happy because he feels after all the love and care he showered on Precious, he didn’t expect she would come to the public to tell lies and demean him in this manner. FFK has always confided in me how he only uses his tongue to satisfy his ex wife. Everyone has their area of strength. Because a person chose to develop expertise in one area does not make the person a novice in others. FFK has never hidden the fact that his tongue is not only avid at trash talks but it is also great in doing other things. So if Precious was sincere she should have also made this point known to the public” the source said in defense of the APC chieftain.

Another source told YeyeNews.com that the event was the first of its kind in Nigeria and the organizers hope to make it a yearly event. “Yahoo is a major industry in this country, with many important players. Other fields of endeavor have one way or the other of celebrating their outstanding members. The organizers think the Yahoo industry should not be an exception. So, that is why they started the award series to recognize the contribution of great men and women towards the growth and development of the field right from its early days”, the source said.

Nairaland / General / More Churches To Create Online Dating Sites After RCCG House Of David Parish Rak by Rapidnews220: 9:51pm On Dec 08, 2021
IT experts in Nigeria are making a brisk business as major churches scramble for their service to build online dating sites to connect “matured christians”. YeyeNews.com learned that this rush to create online dating sites came as a result of the millions of naira that the RCCG House of David Parish generated from membership registration into the dating site RedeemConnnect.


“The amount we generated from membership registration into RedeemConnect in the first 48hrs exceeded our monthly offering collection. It is clear that the Christian community in Nigeria has been waiting for this initiative. Now other churches are rushing to develop theirs. We can not leave such spaces for worldly people to continue dominating and luring our youths into sinful acts”, a pastor in the RCCG House of David Parish told YeyeNews.com.

Nairaland / General / Vaccine For Ghana Jollof Rice: Nigeria Announces Incentive For COVID-19 Vaccinat by Rapidnews220: 8:26am On Dec 02, 2021
To encourage more Nigerians to take the COVID 19 vaccine, the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has announced an incentive of one plate of Ghana jollof rice for everyone that takes a jab of the vaccine in designated centers. The NCDC made the announcement in a statement posted on their website on Tuesday night.



“Due to the low turnout of Nigerians for the vaccination exercise and the urgent need to check the spread of the Omicron variant, we have decided to provide a pack of Ghana jollof rice for everyone who gets a jab of the vaccine”, the statement read.

Explaining the choice of Ghana jollof an official of the NCDC told YeyeNews.com that it has nothing to do with its superiority over the Nigerian jollof but “it’s meant to arose curiosity of Nigerians to have a taste of the much-talked-about Ghana jollof. In satisfying that curiosity they also end up with a jab. That is a win-win for everyone. Nigerians are used to eating our brand of jollof so they may not be eager to come for the jab if the incentive is Nigeria jollof. This is definitely a strategic move”, the official said.

Nairaland / General / Woman Who Marries Her Teddy Bear Sues For Divorce After Meeting ‘herself’ by Rapidnews220: 11:47am On Nov 29, 2021
A woman in Vancouver is asking a family court to dissolve her seven-month marriage with a teddy bear. The woman, Anna Cross, told YeyeNews.com Canada correspondent that she wants to dissolve the marriage with the teddy bear, Josh Carl, because she could no longer bear to continue cheating on him.


“I got Josh from a special toy shop and married him because I was completely irritated by the idea of living with a man. Josh has been a dependable, loyal and loving companion for me since we got married. But since I accidentally met ‘myself’ three months after marrying Josh, I became aware of the level of pleasure I could derive from myself. It has been a rollercoaster experience for me. I just can’t stop exploring myself and I now feel guilty cheating on Josh. He doesn’t deserve it. So I am seeking a divorce so I can get married to myself”, Anna told YeyeNews.com.

Nairaland / General / Man Sues Parents For Giving Birth To Him In Nigeria by Rapidnews220: 8:56am On Nov 28, 2021
A Nigerian man has dragged his parents before a Magistrate court in Makurdi for giving birth to him in Nigeria. In the court documents revealed to YeyeNews.com by a close family member who wanted to remain unanimous, the 35-year-old man (name withheld) said his parents made the wrong decision to give birth to him in Nigeria when they had the means to have done so in any other part of the world.



“At the time I was conceived, this country was already experiencing bad governance and severe economic misfortune. I learned that was the era of ‘Andrew Checking Out’ and Nigerians were emigrating en-masse as a result of deteriorating economic fortune. So I am perplexed that my parents decided to relocate from United Kingdom to this hell hole of a country at that same time to conceive and give birth to me.”

Nairaland / General / Nigerian Army Says Bandits Took Over Abuja-kaduna Expressway Because Female Sold by Rapidnews220: 11:53am On Nov 24, 2021
The Nigerian Army have said their inability to prevent bandits from returning to the Abuja-Kaduna expressway to kidnap travelers is due to all the female soldiers deployed to the important road getting married in quick succession. This revelation was made by a senior military personnel at the Defense Headquarters who spoke to YeyeNews.com on the condition of anonymity. The source who is a Colonel in the army said the sudden marriage of all the female officers deployed to the flashpoint has created logistics challenge for the military high command.



“The army deployed female soldiers to protect travelers on that road because we know the bandits will not be so fearsome in attacking them. Their culture and religion actually enjoins them not to hurt women. That strategy worked well until the soldiers started getting married one after the other. The last two actually got married in October to spouses they met on that road. The bandits only returned after noticing the absence of the female soldiers on the road”, the source told YeyeNews reporter. He further revealed that currently there is a dearth of female soldiers due to the high rate at which the “bloody civilians” are marrying them off.

Sports / Mikel Arteta Surprised Arsenal Has Not Sacked Him by Rapidnews220: 11:42am On Nov 24, 2021
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is surprised that the club is yet to sack him, a source very close to the ex footballer has revealed to YeyeNews.com. The source alleged that Arteta was expecting his sack following Manchester United’s decision to part ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but was surprised that Arsenal left him on the job. “He had already made up his mind that he would be sacked after the 4 – 0 defeat to Liverpool. He had even rehearsed his farewell speech. But surprisingly the sack never came so he will continue on the job”.



When asked if he thinks Arsenal is trying to repay Arteta for his fidelity to the club as a player, the source said he doesn’t believe that is the case. “I think it has to do with ambition. Arsenal Football Club has no ambition to win trophies. Look at Chelsea and United and you will understand what I am saying. Despite qualification for the Champions league the clubs still fired Lampard and Solskjaer. Or weren’t Lampard and Solskjaer great legends of Chelsea and Manchester United respectively? But the difference is that those clubs are driven by the burning desire to add trophies to their cabinets”.

Nairaland / General / Nigeria Police To Be Armed With Only ‘koboko’ At Checkpoints To Avoid Accidental by Rapidnews220: 5:30am On Nov 22, 2021
Henceforth police officers on checkpoints will be ‘armed’ with only koboko (horsewhip) and batons to avoid the incessant cases of accidental discharges that has resulted in the death of hundreds of road users over the years. This decision was reached at the meeting of the Police Service Commission (PSC) in Abuja, a source in the meeting disclosed to YeyeNews.com. “The PSC has resolved that henceforth the Inspector General of Police should ensure officers and men manning checkpoints on highways will not bear any lethal weapons during such duties. They will only be in possession of batons and horsewhips. The policy is meant to curb the killing and maiming of road users due to accidental discharge”, the source revealed.



When asked if the policy will not expose the officers to the danger of attack by armed assailants, the source assured that the policy made adequate provision to safeguard them. “For every officer without lethal weapons at a checkpoint there is a well armed officer on patrol duties nearby. There will be a strong linkage between the armed patrol team and their koboko wielding colleagues at the checkpoints. So the former will always be available to intervene in the event that the latter is in any danger. The patrol teams are strictly prohibited from stop and search duties. So any interaction between road users and armed police officers will be nearly eliminated”.

There was palpable anxiety in the highbrow Maitama area of the FCT on Wednesday following a reported sighting of Nigeria’s infamous ‘man eater’ Clifford Orji entering a gated mansion in a flashy car with a van of police escort in tow. A source in Maitama told YeyeNews.com that everyone has been apprehensive since the news broke out.



“We have even reported to the Maitama police station but they don’t seem to be interested in the information. The police told us that they can’t go and conduct search in an apartment of that caliber over an information that is obviously not credible. They insist the man has died since 2012. But you know this is Nigeria. Clifford Orji never died. Everything was carefully choreographed. I am now very sure of that because I saw him come down from the car and walked into that building. Nobody in this neighborhood knows the occupants of that place. It is very suspicious”, the source narrated.

A source told YeyeNews.com that the president made the comment while lamenting the non-invitation of the country to the recently concluded G20 summit in Rome. “The president at a meeting with the economic team at his residence urged them to work hard to ensure Nigeria’s GDP reaches at least $750 million before May 29, 2023 when he will leave office”, the source said.

Turji, a notorious bandit leader in Zamfara State has turned down the offer of the State Governor Bello Matawalle to negotiate with the government. The bandit leader sent back the State government’s delegation with a condition that he will only consider accepting the negotiation offer if Governor Matawalle will show seriousness by coming into the forest and kneel before him, a member of emissary sent by the government told YeyeNews.com.



The source narrated how the delegation headed by a local government chairman waded through series of bandit checkpoints to reach the camp of Turji. “He (Turji) has set up something like a State within a State. He appoints trusted people into different administrative positions he has created and other existing ones. Even, he just concluded a oath taking ceremony for some new Village Heads he appointed. That is our current reality”. The source further said the bandit leader welcomed them but warned that he would not entertain such visits subsequently unless the Governor personally came to his enclave.
