Update on Emab Plaza bombing, 21 confirmed dead, 17 injured

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 12:22 PM PDT

The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, has confirmed that 21 people died this afternoon when a bomb went off at the very busy Emab Plaza in Wuse 2, Abuja. He also confirmed that 17 people were seriously injured and have been taken to Maitama District Hospital,  Gwarimpa hospital, Wuse hospital, Garki hospital and National hospital.

Mr Mba said one suspect has been arrested and investigations have already started. The bomb is said to have gone off in a car as it passed through the gate of the mall around 4 this afternoon. The fire that followed the explosion is said to have engulfed most of the cars parked around the mall.  

Security Forces have condoned off the scene of the blast, while the Police Bomb Disposal Squad has commenced post-blast analysis as part of the general investigative process, according to a statement.

The attack is believed to have been carried out by a suicide bomber though there are other conflicting reports from some eye-witnesses that a man on a bike threw the explosive and sped off. Though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, we all can kinda guess. See more photos after the cut..

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 11:08 AM PDT

Pictures have emerged of Uruguayan and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez trying to bite Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini (left) 12 months before biting him again at their match last night in Brazil. The first incident happened during a Confederations Cup clash between Italy and Uruguay in 2013.

Meanwhile Suárez is reportedly now facing a two year ban. FIFA disciplinary committee said this morning that it had opened proceedings against him and has asked his team to present evidence later today. "Any type of proof may be produced, including reports from referees, declarations from the parties and witnesses, material evidence, audio or video recordings'. the committee said.

A decision on whether he is guilty of biting or not will be published before Saturday when Uruguay will play Colombia.

Unlocking the mystery of aging, sickness and disease

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:48 AM PDT

Health, you have often heard is wealth. A sick wealthy man would spend his last kobo in pursuit of good health. So, if you have good health, you are considered to be rich and also have everything. 

These days, it is common to hear of people below the age of 5O dying untimely or being diagnosed with one ailment or the other. Ailments that were never heard of in the days of our grandparents are what people are being diagnosed with these days. Continue...


This is because the body has been exposed to a lot of unhealthy eating habits, environmental pollution and stress.  For the human body to stay healthy it needs a required level of minerals and vitamins; but because it is almost impossible for humans to take all the essential nutrients required by the body, we find ourselves breaking down at one time or another. That is why we need supplements to cover up for the lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. Ideally, daily intake of required fruits and vegetables at recommended quantities can help fill this void but truth be told, how many people take fruits & vegetables everyday? As long as we have consumed our garri, fufu, rice, soft drinks and junk foods, we are good to go. 

Since we are not taking the required minerals and vitamins needed by the body daily in order to stay healthy, energized and youthful, it is essential to always be on supplements. Supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or substances with the nutritional effect of supplementing normal diet. There are several supplements today, in choosing a supplement, it is better to use one that has all the important ingredients required by the body imbedded in the right amount.
 All essential ingredients plus fruits and vegetables are what you would find in Genesis Nutritional Drink.

GENESIS nutritional drink is a powerful antioxidant supplement produced by Symmetry Corporation, u.s.a. it is the most powerful antioxidant product we have in the market worldwide as at today. GENESIS is a delicious combination of red grape and pomegranate in a mixture of apple and aloe vera juice infused with a proprietary blend of super foods, healing herbs, powerful antioxidants, phytonutrients, and much more. GENESIS contains the exclusive triple-patented x'tranol-24 that will impede the production of free radicals in the body for a full 24 hours.
A single serving of 30ml also provides the complete array of healthful nutrients in red wine without the alcohol (including resveratrol) that aid in lowering the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease and prolonging life. Infused in GENESIS are the world's most potent herbs such as barley grass, cinnamon, coriander leaf & seed, cucumber, fig, garlic, juniper berry, leek, lentil, mulberry fruit, olive leaf, onion, sweet almond & wheat grass. The herbs are steeped in a juice blend without heat to delicately extract their botanical components and avoid damages to their active ingredients.
GENESISis more than a juice; it helps you feel young and healthy by slowing down the body's natural aging process and boosting your energy.
For those that are science inclined, to measure the effectiveness of any anti-oxidant product, you need the orac (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) score of a product and genesis drink has been tested and confirmed to have 400,000 which exceed the orac-score of a lot of other known products, so it was given a super orac-score.
Hence, daily intake of GENESIS nutritional drink is what everyone needs to stay healthy. The great news is that GENESIS drink can be taken by everyone.

Doctors call for blood donation for Monday's Kano blast victims

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:28 AM PDT

Medical authorities have called for blood donation for victims of the Kano state bomb blast that happened on Monday June 23rd at the Kano School of Hygiene Gida Murtala road in Kano. 
 
Some of the victims who are currently receiving treatment at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital are in dire need of blood, doctors say. Yesterday students of the Kano School of Hygiene were seen at the hospital coming to donate blood for their colleagues.
 
Pictured above is the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Lamido Sanusi II when he paid a visit to the victims at the hospital yesterday. Eight people died from the blast while 12 others suffered serious injuries.

Man detained in mental institute in Kano for saying there is no God

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:13 AM PDT

Mubarak Bala has been held up at a mental institute in Kano state since June 13th despite being given a clean bill of health because he declared he does not believe in God. 
According to the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) Bala is being held against his will and forcibly medicated at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, where he has been kept since June 13.
The chemical engineering graduate is allegedly being held on the grounds of a "personality change" because he declared himself an atheist despite being raised in a Muslim family in Kano, which is a mainly Muslim state.
The organisation says that when Mr Bala told his family he did not believe in God, they took him to a doctor and asked if he was mentally ill. Continue...
When this doctor found him to be fit and well, the family are then believed to have taken him to a second doctor who claimed he was suffering with a personality disorder. The family allegedly told this doctor he also made delusional claims that he was a "governor" and other "trivial lies".
The 29-year-old managed to raise the alarm that he was being held in emails and tweets sent to activists from a smartphone smuggled into the facility and the IHEU said a Lagos-based group has asked a lawyer to take up his case.

In one of the emails, he wrote: "And the biggest evidence of my mental illness was large blasphemies and denial of 'history' of Adam, and apostasy, to which the doctor said was a personality change, that everyone needs a God, that even in Japan they have a God.  And my brother added that all the atheists I see have had mental illness at some point in their life."

The IHEU is "deeply concerned" about Mr Bala's welfare and violations of his human rights.

IHEU spokesman Bob Churchill said: "It appears that a warped notion of family honour is the motivation to pressure Mubarak in this appalling manner, to conform to religious views that he simply doesn't hold. This is an abhorrent violation of his freedom of thought and belief.
"We are joining with humanists and human rights advocates in Nigeria and the activists who have worked to highlight this case, in calling for an immediate re-evaluation of Mubarak's case by a doctor who is entirely independent of the family, and for his swift release."

'Don't call her my son' R-Kelly finally addresses transgender daughter

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 05:37 AM PDT

In case you haven't heard, R&B legend R Kelly has a transgender daughter with ex-wife and star of Hollywood exes, Andrea Kelly. 14 year old Jaya Kelly (pictured right) now goes by the name Jay after she revealed she/he has identified as male since he was 7 years old. She's dumped her female clothes and strictly wears clothes and even cut her hair. Jay admitted that her father recently found out about her transition to a boy but her mum and sister have known for a while and are supportive.

Well, R.Kelly may know that his daughter now calls herself a boy but he's definitely having difficulty coming to terms with it. When asked about it during an interview at the WCGI Summer Jam this week, R.Kelly shut the reporter up when he referred to Jaya as his son.
"Well, first off don't start by calling her my son. As far as that's concerned, always believe what you see - with your own eyes that is. That's the best way to go about this business. I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true."
Awwww, a father in denial. See more photos of Jaya/Jay Kelly after the cut...

...and Luiz Suarez bites another football player (photos)

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 03:30 PM PDT

In August 2013, Liverpool player and Uruguay Forward, Luiz Suarez bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a match in Anfield, an action that got him benched for 10 matches afterwhich he apologized.

Fast forward 10 months later and he's done it again. During the Italy-Uruguay match that took place this evening June 24th, Suarez appeared to bite Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder (pictures above). Continue...

 


Suarez is seen chasing Giorgio for the ball and then suddenly both men fall to the ground, with Suarez clutching his teeth as if in pain while Chiellini pulls his shirt down to show the referee the bite marks on his shoulder. Unfortunately the referee didn't see the attack so didn't penalize Suarez but thankfully cameras captured it and people expect Suarez to be sanctioned again.

This is months after Suarez and his club manager claimed he'd changed his ways.

According to a Vanguard reporter who spoke with Stephen Keshi in Brazil, the Super Eagles coach is angry at Nigerian fans for abusing him over the team's performance at the on-going World Cup in Brazil. Keshi said there was absolutely no justification for fans to insult him and his family.
"It's a shame, just a shame that we keep doing the same thing and then they come back and they say they are sorry. Sorry for abusing my mum? Sorry for abusing my siblings? For what? That I am representing Nigeria?"
"I am disappointed, totally disappointed (by the personal attacks), but it's their thing, no wahala (no problem).
Keshi also lambasted his fellow former football stars who have criticized his team and his tactics in Brazil, saying he had expected much better from them as they ought to know better about the game than the man on the street..
