Pics: 1 year after Nyanya bomb blast, road leading to the place still barricaded

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 05:22 AM PDT

A LIB reader writes in...
One year after Nyanya bomb blast, security operatives still barricade the road going up Nyanya flyover, causing motorists of Mararaba, Nyanya, Karu, Jikwoyi and  environs untold hardship. The Nyanya park has been relocated to the roadside by the market, causing heavy traffic gridlock, especially in the morning rush hour. Please kindly use your blog to help us appeal to relevant authorities for the road and the park to be reopened.

It didn't take five days before reopening Emab plaza after the bomb explosion there,  so why is this one different? We have suffered too much on account of this. Imagine spending four hours in traffic for a journey that ordinarily takes ten to fifteen minutes. By the time one gets to work, it's already 10-11am, depending on when one leaves the house. Exhaustion and tension then renders one less effective for that day. In the long run,  this affects the nation's GDP, since productivity is reduced. Thanks in anticipation that you will share our plight with the world to hear.

Nigerian reportedly attacked in Johannesburg

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 04:33 AM PDT

A chilling story from a Nigerian who lives in Centurion, South Africa about an attack on another Nigerian in Johannesburg today. Meanwhile, how many of you have watched those horrible videos on Facebook showing the killing of African immigrants? And they are attacking children. In one video, some children were beaten, tied up and the men poured gasoline on their body. Can't share the videos here...go on Facebook. Can't believe this is happening in 2015.

Mum posts her '15yr old' daughter's pics on twitter, & it's got people talking

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 04:12 AM PDT

A 'proud' mum posted these photos of her daughter on twitter a few hours ago and wrote "My baby is 15 today'. Of course, many asked her how this grown person could be 15 and she replied that she was born in 2000. 1, she doesn't look 15 and 2, if she really is, then that's an appropriate outfit for a 15 year old girl to wear...and they told her that. Well, she posted it on social media so she will get our opinions whether asked for it or not...lol. What do you think?


They were photos from her birthday party...

Biko, what is wrong with what Michael Bubble posted that people are attacking him?

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 03:54 AM PDT

Canadian singer Michael Buble is being bashed on social media for posting this photo on instagram. I don't understand why this is making people mad when he meant it as a compliment? So, during a trip to Miami with his wife and son, Michael's wife took this photo of him with a well endowed lady in the background. He must have liked the pic because he posted it on instagram and wrote;
"There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram.  #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum
That's when the trolls came for him, saying he was body-shaming the unidentified woman. *sigh*

Some of the comments below...

When contacted by Us Weekly, a confused Michael, who meant it as a harmless joke, said;
"I do not court controversy, but I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue.'

He later issued a statement on his instagram page...


Can you blame him, see the butt on the lady. I zoomed in...lol

Win N350,000 in the Ennovation Challenge

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 03:34 AM PDT

How often have you had problems trying to pay for something via a cashless transaction? How frustrating does it get sometimes? Are we truly cashless or not? When are we going to get it right we have all asked one too many times.

But... What if it was possible for you to help solve the problem?  What if it was possible for you to make money (and win some cool gagdets) from making sure that we all don't pay for any transaction with physical cash, in the nearest future?


Introducing eNNovate Naija!

As a proactive measure to solve some of the challenges posed by the Central Bank of Nigeria's cashless policy, Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement Systems PLC (NIBSS) conceived the idea of organizing an online crowd sourced contest, known as 'eNNovate Naija' aimed at generating innovative ideas to drive the policy, and generate solutions to overcome the present challenges.

The contest will play out mostly online and participants will be required to log on to a website and pitch ideas under this theme: 'How Do I Make Cashless Policy more effective in my community?'

A cash reward of N350,000 each and some Samsung devices will be given to the top 10 ideas that provide solutions to solve this collective problem of ours.

The 2015 eNNovation Challenge is managed by Digital Jewels Limited and is organized in partnership with Samsung and IBM.

Chibok girls kidnapped to present GEJ's govt as incompetent- Doyin Okupe

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 03:13 AM PDT

Below is what the presidential Spokesperson shared this morning on his Facebook page...
One of the reasons the Chibok girls were kidnapped was to present Jonathan's administration as incompetent and hold it to ransom against 2015 elections.
One of the reasons the BBOG was formed was to sustain and internationalise the embarrassment. One of the reasons President Jonathan lost the election was a national and international conspiracy predicated on this carefully choreographed and assiduously sustained perception.
One of the issues that will be in the hand over notes will be the missing girls.
What is reasonable and expedient for well meaning men and women of good conscience is to dialogue with the incoming administration on what best new approach to employ to find and rescue the chibok girls.
Not much can be achieved, except mischief, by continuing to flog this administration on this matter.
I REST MY CASE.

UK Taxpayers face huge bill to recover profits from £50m fraudster (James Ibori)

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 02:54 AM PDT

Here's a report I found on Standard UK. UK Taxpayers are blaming former Delta state governor James Ibori for a huge new bill. Find the report below...
Taxpayers are facing a "huge" new bill after efforts to force a former Nigerian state governor from London to repay profits from a £50 million fraud were delayed for more than a year.
James Ibori, who began his working life as a £5,000-a-year cashier at a Wickes DIY branch in Ruislip, became a multi-millionaire after returning to his homeland and committing a series of scams during an eight-year career running its oil rich Delta State.
His wealth allowed him to buy expensive homes, a £12 million jet and a £1 million fleet of cars including a Bentley, Mercedes and armoured Range Rovers. His crimes were detected in a Scotland Yard investigation that led to him being jailed in April 2012 for 13 years for fraud and money laundering.

But a decision on how much he will have to repay has now been postponed again, to June next year, after lawyers for Ibori and two other defendants told Southwark crown court that more time was needed to prepare their cases.

It means Ibori will not have to repay any of the money until at least 2017.

Prosecuting barrister Sasha Wass QC said the delay to the hearing, which was due to start in 2013, meant the cost to the taxpayer of dealing with Ibori would spiral further. She said £2 million had already been spent on his defence. Ivan Krolick, representing Ibori, told the judge that he and another defence barrister needed more time because of the recent submission of a 66,000-page file of prosecution evidence.

Ms Wass said the new file contained evidence already given to the defence, repackaged to make it easier to read.

Judge Pitts agreed to delay the hearing after barristers for the other defendants, London solicitor Bhadresh Gohil and Ibori's former mistress Udoamaka Onuigbo, also called for a delay.
Ms Onuigbo's barrister, Ami Feder, said his client — deported after serving her prison term for money laundering — wished to return to Britain for the hearing but failed to obtain a visa and needed time for a new application.

Ibori was governor of Nigeria's Delta State between 1999 and 2007. He admitted fraud totalling nearly £50 million, but now denies making personal profit from his crimes.

Between Teebillz and Ghanaian star, Joselyn Dumas

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 02:33 AM PDT

So here's what happened. Teebillz, under his management alongside Spellz for 323Ent produced a song for his artist Trafic titled Joselyn Dumas, which was partly about the Ghanian actress. But Joseyln's management claim they were not informed that a song was being made about her and contacted 323Ent not to use her name or image for their song. 323 then contacted Joselyn's new management for permission and they requested to listen to the song first before they give it. When they heard the song, they said they didn't particularly like the lyrics as it was talking about her body which they weren't comfortable it and so didn't give permission. Then her management released an official statement two days ago saying they have officially signed Joselyn and anyone who wants to deal with her must go though them.

Something pissed Teebillz off because he went on instagram this morning to call out Joselyn...





This was before Joselyn went to sign with another label...

Meet the South African king whose remarks launched the Xenophobic attacks

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 02:47 AM PDT

Zulu King Godwill Zwelithi's utterances on March 23rd launched the Zenophobic attacks in South Africa and he had refused to apologize, even after finding out that his people have maimed, killed and destroyed businesses belonging to black foreigners. He's still insisting that foreigners should go back to their countries but tried to save face by saying attacking the foreigners is not how to chase them away. He wants the government to do it legally.

During a speech last month, Zwelithini called for the deportation of foreign nationals living in the country, saying it was unacceptable locals were being made to compete with people from other countries for the few economic opportunities they had available. King Zwelithi said "foreigners must pack their bags and go home".


His three major complaints and why he wanted foreigners to go were; 1. SA traders in the townships said they could not compete with the prices that foreign-owned businesses were selling their products. 2; foreigners involved in crime. 3. Lack of respect shown by foreigners to locals.

Addressing Pongolo community members during a moral regeneration event, Zwelithini accused government of failing to protect locals from the "influx of foreign nationals". He said;
"Most government leaders do not want to speak out on this  matter because they are scared  of losing votes.  As the king of the Zulu nation, I cannot tolerate a situation where we are being led by leaders with no views whatsoever.
"We are requesting those who come from outside to please go back to their countries. The fact that there were countries that played a role in the country's struggle for liberation should not be used as an excuse to create a situation where foreigners are allowed to inconvenience locals. I know you were in their countries during the struggle for liberation. But the fact of the matter is you did not set up businesses in their countries."
His comments were widely condemned with the SA DA describing it "highly irresponsible' 'Particularly given the recent spate of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, he should do the right thing – retract and apologise,"

He didn't and his spokesman went on record to say the King had nothing to apologize for, that he meant every word he said.
"I think the people who're complaining are misinterpreting his speech. He didn't say foreigners must be attacked or harassed. The king was talking about foreigners who are here illegally. Some are involved in serious crimes like drug and human trafficking. We don't need such people in our country so the king is right." His spokesman said
After the killing spread across different cities, the king has relented a little and is planning to speak to his people this Monday in an effort to quell the attacks. He's expected to address the public directly and clarify his statement and ask his people to stop the violence which his words started...

Photo: David Cameron goes to Pastor Adeboye for prayers as he prepares for UK elections

Posted: 18 Apr 2015 01:12 AM PDT

The UK general election will be held May 7th. Current UK Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservative Party is up against Ed Miliband of Labour Party & Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrat.

Cameron must be feeling the pressure of the election because he went to RCCG event in the UK last night to be prayed for by pastor E.A Adeboye. When did Cameron become so religious? And when has he ever gone to a black church? Or he's just looking for black votes? Lol.
