| Man jailed for forwarding text message containing a joke about Pres. Mugabe to neighbours Posted: 30 Oct 2015 12:59 PM PDT  The offending joke was a message falsely attributed to Ecocash, Zimbabwe's mobile money transfer scheme, which said the president had deposited $1 500 (R20 745) into their account. The newspaper said the message read: "Ecocash Transfer Confirmation: 1,500 US from Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Thank you for supporting ZANU-PF." Maposa was being charged under a section of Zimbabwe's Postal and Telecommunications Act prohibiting the sending of messages the sender "knows to be false." The report said Maposa insisted he did not mean to make his neighbours "anxious or nervous". "I was intending to share a social media joke," he said. Although Maposa was not being prosecuted under Zimbabwe's infamous anti-insult laws, it remains a crime to insult Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980. Arrests are frequently reported under these laws, often for comments made on social media site. |

| Governor Obiano calls on FG to save the Onitsha-Enugu expressway from erosion Posted: 30 Oct 2015 09:44 AM PDT  Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has called on the federal government to save the Onitsha-Enugu Expressway from caving into gully erosion that has affected parts of the newly constructed flyover along New Parts market, Nkpor, Idemili North council area. The Governor made the call, yesterday, October 29, while inspecting the havoc being wreaked by the erosion on the road. He disclosed that he has contacted the President after inspecting the site recently, mandated IDC construction firm to mobilize to site and start palliative work, to save the road. He stated that the federal government owes the state an outstanding twenty-five billion naira spent on the reconstruction of federal roads in the state, a reason why it must get permission from the federal government before embarking on palliative work on the site. The Governor made it clear that the state alone cannot undertake the erosion project which will run into billions of naira, and advised the citizenry to bear with the state while it pressurizes the federal government to come to its aid.

| Posted: 30 Oct 2015 09:17 AM PDT  Their family of 13 live in a 4-bedroom house in Manchester & often travel by minibus. Mohammed, who is appearing on a new TV programme, said on the show that he has no regrets about fathering 11 children, even though "it is the government who pay for their upkeep, food and clothing".  Mohammed said it isn't his fault that he has spent 10 years on the dole and the system is failing him, adding: "I have got qualifications and real work experience. I've been forced on to the dole because I'm unemployed. I am expected to do at least seven job applications a week. I'm better off on the dole than working on a minimum wage." he told Channel 5's On Benefits: 26 Kids And Claiming, a documentary about large families on benefits.  Mohammed has applied to work as an ICT teacher in Saudi Arabia because he can't find a job in the UK. He said: "It's a sad state of affairs. For the last ten years I've failed to get any jobs or interviews. I am not getting the results." "I have been told to do taxi work but with the hours I would have to put in to get a reasonable wage, I can't do it, especially with young children." Mohammed, who spends up to £300 per week on food for his family, said he would struggle if his welfare bill was capped at £500 a week as the government are currently proposing and he also forks out on modern gadgets for his children who want iPhones. He said: "We are feeding 13 people. £500 a week is not enough, the costs are there, we are having to stretch and stretch. They want that because it is the thing of the present day and you have to cough up," he said. He added that with 11 children, there are so many birthdays and religious festivals to remember and celebrate. "Virtually every month there is something going on, if it is not a birthday it is some kind of celebration, Christmas, Easter, Eid," he said. "It is a big pull on the little amount of benefits that we do get." Mohammed,a religious man believes that there are more important things than money. "I am the richest man in the world with these children," he said. "I have a big family, I am on benefits, there is a worry there but god always sees us through |
| Those agitating for Biafra nation are miscreants & should be ignored - Obasanjo Posted: 30 Oct 2015 09:09 AM PDT  "This is a fake agitation. You people make a mountain out of a molehill. These are boys who want to take people unaware and get money out of them in the name of Biafra. These are the people you should ignore, I don't talk about Biafra. (Philip) Effiong came and said Biafra ceased to exist and since that day, Biafra has ceased to exist. We absorbed those we should absorb both into the civil service and into the military. |

| Oprah addresses 'Secret Son' report... Posted: 30 Oct 2015 08:56 AM PDT  This week , Oprah Winfrey was "ambushed" by her "secret son" after a taping of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the former talk show host revealed how she met Calvin Mitchell (as a little boy right) in the early 90's while she was filming the TV movie There Are No Children Here. According to her, She was taken by the boy after he offered her a diet coke and wanted to help when she found out he and his family were stuck in the projects.  She enrolled Mitchell in a local private school and moved the family to a better home. But hope turned to disappointment when the school principal informed her that the boy had been missing classes. The family's excuse was that they couldn't get up on time to get the boy to school. She discovered that his family didn't have any clocks in the house. Her Partner Stedman and herself went to K-Mart that moment, got a bag full of clocks, came back to the house, taught them how to set the alarm and all that. That however didn't prevent Mitchell from getting expelled from the school. "I had a long conversation with him about how disappointed I was but I was going to give him another chance. I found a school in Mississippi that was a private boarding school because I thought if I could remove him from the environment that he'd been accustomed to growing up in, that maybe that would be helpful to him."  However, the boy again voiced discontent with the school and she had her last conversation with him in the early nineties. That was until Winfrey got wind that the young man had sold his story to a tabloid years after "When I realized the whole thing was a setup, I was no longer interested in speaking to him." Although Winfrey says she wasn't hurt by the experience, she did admit she was left disappointed by the boy again, but counts it as a learning experience. "I learned from that experience, if you really want to change somebody's life, you gotta be able to spend enough time with them to change the way they think about what their life can be. It isn't enough to give a person a new life or money or a new car, you have to teach them how to fish themselves." |

Denis Cuspert, who went by his hip-hop name "Deso Dogg," died in an Oct. 16 attack near Raqqa, Syria, according to Department of Defense spokeswoman Elissa Smith.  "Cuspert was a foreign terrorist fighter and operative for ISIL who used social media to take advantage of disaffected youth and potential Western recruits," she said in a statement. "He publicly threatened the president of the United States and German citizens. He also encouraged Western Muslims to conduct attacks." she added. The Berlin-born rapper was labeled a "specially designated global terrorist" in February, according to the State Department. Cuspert has appeared in several propaganda videos for the militant group, including one where he appeared to be holding a man's severed head. He went by the name Abu Talha al-Almani after ditching his musical roots to join the terrorist group. "His death contributes to our efforts to stop foreign fighter recruitment," Smith said. |
