Al-Qaeda's Plan to Kidnap Nigerian Westerners

      Thank God that the Nigeria Security Agences are at an alert. But I must say that this is a serious threat to Nigeria.

  The secret agency, the newspaper reports, says the abductions are slated to be carried out by Mauritanian terrorists.
Algeria is home to the Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, a group that has been identified by security agencies as providing both logistics and training to the violent Islamic sect in the North-East, Boko Haram.
In a recent interview, a Boko Haram leader had admitted the link between the sect and Mauritania, saying that several of its bomb experts and foot soldiers received training in the country.  The leader had also said that some members of the group had just returned from Mauritania to launch new terrorist attacks.

How to activate Blackberry Email Account-Blackberry User Story 1

Gist 101
     I have decided to write down this procedure of activating Blackberry Email Account for my neighbour, Jose.

    A 25years old Jose bought  a new blackberry bold in a nearby plaza adjacent to my quarter. For 3month, Jose kept on trying to activate his blackberry e-mail account to enable him keep track with his new London girlfriend. After much trying he resorted to making phone calls and using facebook as substitutes. This  had been always claiming  his little income he had earned as salary.
     One day, he came to me complaining and almost frustrated that he cannot access the  e-mail message his girlfriend sent to him on his phone. Five several occasions, he had ran to cybercafe just to read mail and on one of occasion he attempted asking the young girl to stop sending him e-mail message.

     This is the procedure of activating Blackberry Email Account I gave to Jose

Saif al-Islam,Colonel Gaddafi's son announced captured in Southern Libya

   There is no doubt that this is a very significant moment for Libyans. Libyans have suffer  several years of hostage but today they been liberated as last key member of the Gaddafi family, Saif al-Islam has been captured in southern Libya by fighters loyal to the new government.

    Saif al-Islam, 39, is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity A militia force allied to the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) said he had been captured in the desert about 50km (30 miles) west of Obari, and taken to their base in Zintan. 

So instead, the court is already working to try to ensure a fair trial inside Libya. For Saif al-islam Gaddafi a trial in his own country means he could face the death penalty. That's something that would not have happened if his father had signed up Libya to the ICC, where the maximum sentence is life in prison.

Ex-militants threaten bombing campaign tomorrow



I still don't understand the meaning of Niger Delta militans or ex-militans, Boko Haram or Islamic sectors. What are all these groups for? To exploit Nigeria or help us? The so-called Niger Delta militants have resurface again threatening to bomb oil installation tomorrow, for what?
The group, which issued a statement on Thursday, announced that it took the decision after a three-hour meeting held in the creeks of the region recently.
Two weeks ago, the militants had handed the government a 14-day ultimatum to meet some demands.
The demands included the payment of their monthly allowances and the recognition of some militants who embraced the amnesty programme by submitting their arms to the Kingsley Kuku-led Presidential Amnesty Committee. They had also demanded that the Federal Government should urgently probe the Presidential Amnesty Committee, describing it as a fraud.
"Except these modest requests are granted within the next 14 days, the Presidential Amnesty Committee should be ready for more face-offs and violent confrontations," the ex-militants had warned.
The statement issued by one General’ Keithy Sese, "the General Officer commanding all ex-militants on Phase 3,’’ claimed that the group had no choice but to resort to the use of violence, "the only language that the Nigerian government understands."
It warned "all multi-nationals and their expatriate workers to urgently relocate from the states of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers as we will not be held responsible for anything that befalls people who refuse to listen to these modest directives."

Abati Reuben, Special Advicer to President Blasted After Nigeria National Award 2010/2011- a must read comments

GIST
   I extracted this comments from sahara reporters after the just concluded Nigeria National Award 2010/2011. Abati Reuben all Nigeria knew, was the guardian newspaper editorial chairman before he was appointed special Advicer to president Goodluck Jonathan. His unresponsiveness and indifference attitudes now that he was appointed special advicer to president has generated a lot of negative criticism by mindful Nigerians who knew him when he was still guardian newspaper editorial chairman and his post on 2009/2010 Nigeria National Award. Now, lets read these must read comments;

My admiration for your comment Jagaban.

I admire your comment on this article Jagaban. It is factual, apt and hilarious. Nice one.

We Are Often Dangerously Too Emotional!

I am of the opinion that GEJ did something commendable by appointing Reuben Abati his press secretary. It shows that he genuinely wanted a quality person.
I am also of the view that Reuben has not misstepped by accepting his appointment and that he has so far not been found wanting in his role!
The attacks on him are completely misconceived as it was the right thing to accept to serve your country and definitely wrong, cowardly and/or misguided to shy away from such opportunity in the circumstance.
It is misguided and deeply unfortunate that some Nigerians who think they are enlightened appear to think social critics should just be criticizing and avoid trying to do their bit!

@ IFYGUY, you wrote.......

"Assuming i become a medical consultant today and i am appointed to serve as minister or head a federal medical centre,etc i will grab it with both hands. It is the dream of every professional to serve at the APEX of his chosen carrier"
Not so fast pal. Not “every professional” is in that the end justifies the means tag-team of yours. There are a lot of other people that make choices based on principles and values they stand for. Nelson Mandela came to mind. Achebe’s rejection of the award is also another example.
The Arab’s spring is not about grabbing an opportunity but about principles and values. I’m not condemning your principles and values but your use of “every professional” is not so every but rather "some" like you.

Over 300 humans have so far

Over 300 humans have so far rejected OBE-among other honors in London-so what is the noise about-even John Lenon returned his because of the biafran and the vietnam war! Black poet Benjamin Zephaniah said he rejected the offer of an OBE last month because he believes it stands for colonial brutality and slavery. He said the honour's title, Order of the British Empire, gives an impression of white supremacy saying he had been "fighting against the legacy of empire" all his life. John Lennon returned his MBE four years after receiving it Late Beatles legend John Lennon was perhaps the highest profile figure to reject an honour. He returned his MBE four years after accepting it in 1965. In a note accompanying the gong, he wrote: "Your Majesty, I am returning this in protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam, and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts. With love. John Lennon of Bag

abati

Gbenga Aruleba did.
He had spoken against government so much that he didnt want to double speak,by taking an appointment. How about that? Does it answer your question?

@IFYGUY-Democracy 4ever

@IFYGUY-Democracy 4ever How u claim to be a medical doc shocking to me! U claim "Abati has no input whatsoever in the nomination of the awardees neither does he have the power to reform the award." So why was he defending that list against Achebe's rejection with so much gusto? Just last year, in his estimation, that list was full of rogues, govt.contractors and election riggers; is this year's list different in Abati's estimation? This article was just published to show he was a hungry man like you hoping to get his hands on the cake too.
U claim "Assuming i become a medical consultant today and i am appointed to serve as minister or head a federal medical centre,etc i will grab it with both hands." Good for u but not everyone would sell their soul cheaply; Prof. Achebe just made that clear. We now know the reason for the silly support you give here, it is an act of desperation to get noticed. Low IQ like you in authority? God forbid! Dumbo Jo is the last !

Eastern European pack of cyber thieves hijack 4 Million computers

  When will stealing stop in this world? Has technology advancement increase the rate of stealing?. All these are questions that need answers.

   A Rove group have reportedly hijacked at least four million computers in over 100 countries, including at least half a million computers in the U.S., to make off with $14 million in "illegitimate income" before they were caught, federal officials announced early hours of yesterday (Thursday).

Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's Personal Physician guilty of Jackson's Manslaughter

The court sitting on Michael Jackson case has reached a verdict.
   What can you say?

A panel of seven men and five women took two days of deliberation to reach a verdict.
Michael Jackson died on 25 June 2009 from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol.
Murray, 58, could now receive a maximum prison term of four years and lose his licence to practise medicine.
Dr Murray's lawyers argued that Jackson self-administered a lethal dose of the drug while he was out of the room.
Dr Murray was remanded in custody without bail until he receives his sentence, set for 29 November.
Explaining his decision, the judge said Dr Murray was now a convicted felon and had considerable ties outside the state of California, meaning he could not guarantee that the doctor would remain in the state.
Dr Murray sat silently in court, shifting slightly in his seat as the verdict was read out.
Court officers began to handcuff the physician as the judge made his final announcements, before leading him away into custody.
'Drug addict' The jury - made up of one African American, six whites and five Hispanics - deliberated on Friday and through the morning on Monday.
Outside the court, fans of Michael Jackson were cheering and chanting, "Guilty! Guilty!" in the run-up to the verdict being announced.
During the six-week trial, 49 witnesses and more than 300 pieces of evidence were presented to the court.
Michael Jackson, who had been out of the public eye for several years, died in 2009 as he was preparing for a series of comeback performances at the 02 arena in London.
In his closing argument last Thursday, the prosecution said Dr Murray had caused the star's death through negligence, depriving Jackson's children of their father and the world of a "genius".
The defence argued that Jackson was a drug addict who caused his own death by giving himself an extra dose of propofol while the cardiologist was out of the room at the star's rented mansion in Los Angeles.

waooh! case close

New Goggle+ Social Network Pages; a network rival to Facebook and Social Network pages providers

This is going to be a bone of contention and challenge for a social network like facebook as google has lunched its new social network pages. It does not end there, they started allowing businesses and brands to set up their own pages on this their new social network pages.



To add more to the pain of other social network, Organisations will not be charged to use the scheme and Google says it will not put adverts on their pages.

It is a further challenge to rival network Facebook, which offers its own Pages service allowing businesses to promote themselves.

Burberry, Barcelona football club and the Muppets are some of the organisations taking part in the launch.

Google says the service offers more than a shop window.

It says organisations can benefit from adding a "+" link to one of the adverts listed on the firm's results or to another marketing campaign. The page owners can then monitor how many people are clicking through to their Google+ page and where they clicked from.

However, Google says it will not pass on individual IP addresses or any other personal data.

Organisations will be able to use the site's Circles facility to match different information to different groups. They can also set up video chats with up to nine other users using the network's Hangouts service.

"Companies like being on social networks, it allows them to have a two-way conversation with their customers and get to know more about who they are," said Professor Jeremy Baker from the ESCP Europe Business School.

"It's a very persuasive and intimate atmosphere as the sites are seen as trusted places to be."

Google says more than 40 million people have already opened an account with its network

"Facebook still has more than 10 times the number of users," said Ian Maude, head of internet at Enders Analysis.

"Google+ is growing very quickly. However, there is an awful long way for it to go before it becomes a major threat to Mark Zuckerberg's business.

Hmmn, This is interesting! I will try goggle socal network

Unbeliveable: Attachment Girls Fired At Beauty Saloon For Refusing To Sexually Entertain Males

   GIST 101
     It was noted that a warning to some of the illicit activities accommodated by salons besides gossip, a Bulawayo salon 'queen' reportedly fired five girls who were on industrial attachment after they refused to sexually entertain male patrons.

   The rumour mill has it that the salon (name withheld), besides hair plating, is always known for recruiting young and sexy girls on behalf of some local businessmen.

 Sources who spoke to us claimed that it has become custom if not law that every girl whom she recruited is liable to sexually entertain her male friends who frequently visit the hair salon.

"The woman is working in cahoots with some local businessmen hiring young girls as sex slaves on the pretext that they were hairdressers. Recently there were five unsuspecting young girls who were at the salon as interns but were fired after they refused to double their duties as sex slaves," said the source.

The mole added that to smooth sail its mission the salon closes late and the girls would be picked up by the woman's sex male clients. The woman, in a bid to cater for her customers' penchant for different varieties is also reported to be working hand in glove with some 'unscrupulous' schoolgirls who always come to the salon.

A case in point was a visit by this reporter at one of the busiest salons in the city, which shows flashy cars parked outside with their owners being attended to by a bevy of beauties-cum-hairdressers. However, it is against this background that our reporters went around some of the city salons to investigate what would be actually happening behind the scenes.

In an interview one hairdresser did not mince her words saying some salons were good hunting grounds for men soliciting female pleasures.

"Men both married and single are coming here asking for sexual favours. Some even after attending to them they will give us extra dollars and their business cards saying we should phone them. This is a temptation too good to ignore considering that they pay us handsomely after sexually satisfying them," said a woman in her early 20s who refused to be identified.

Although some hairdressers dismissed the claims as "dog's puke" designed to tarnishing their profession, they were however, quick to say their profession is just like a church, where its not everyone who attends it is holy.

“The rains are reducing for now so we are not expecting too much rain, there could be force of rain here and there particularly in the South but up here in the North, the intensity will be reducing but in the South, there could still be one or two very heavy down pour,
“Flooding is not just a factor of rain only, we may still have a couple of downpour in Lagos and all those areas, whether or not it will lead to flooding, is not something we can say straight away yes or no.’’
