Dozens Of Wives Reportedly Slaughtered By Their Boko Haram Husbands Before Gwoza Showdown


 
Dozens of women in Maiduguri, who were forced to marry Boko Haram Insurgents have reportedly been killed by their "husbands" before a battle with Nigerian troops in the northeast town of Bama, yesterday Thursday March 19th.

According to multiple witnesses reports, who recounted the massacres to AFP said the Islamist militants feared they would be killed by advancing soldiers or separated from their wives when they fled the town. They killed the women to prevent them from subsequently marrying soldiers or other so-called non-believers, they added.

"The terrorists said they will not allow their wives to be married to infidels," said Sharifatu Bakura, 39, a mother of three, who was one of the five witnesses that spoke to APF. 

Another witness Salma Mahmud recounted the Islamists said "if they kill their wives, they would remain pious until both of them meet again in heaven, where they would re-unite."

While Aba Kassim, a vigilante who fought alongside the military in the battle to retake Bama, said he saw "dozens of women corpses" in the town. The number of casualty figure were impossible to verify.

A Dog Or A Life Mop: Today on Spicy Board

 
There are millions of reasons to know that no one can ever fathom the depth of God's creations. Pictured above is a breed of "Dog" that looks more like a giant mop. Should I rather say "a flying giant mop?"
This breed of dog is called a Puli dog. The breed's ancestry could be traced back more than a 1,000 years to Asia. 
It's a small to medium-sized breed from Hungary, known for its famous long and shaggy fur. Puli dog needs a large amount of grooming to keep the fur neat and clean because as it grows older, the fur gets even much longer and reaches the ground. It also requires a controlled matting process to achieve the desired fur which looks like dreadlocks.
Monika Wegler, a Photographer captured the moment the dog leapt into the air while it was out with its owner outside Schäftlarn Abbey in Germany.

Nevertheless, Looking funny or just all "moppy" Puli dogs have been useful as were used as guard dogs and also for herding livestock. I guess they can still perform such 'policing duties' in this century.

Its quite funny, I thought I saw a mop at first glance? What did you see?

Loneliness Increases Risk Of Death: New Research Reveals





According to new studies, "having companions in life doesn't just make for adventures, it can also help you live longer."

The Researchers say that being alone and feeling lonely increases one's chances of early death by roughly 30%.

Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, of Brigham Young University, said that all need to take both feeling alone and being alone seriously. 

"We need to take both seriously." The data shows greater longevity if you're well connected but we should also be concerned with the times when "others may be surrounded by others and still feel lonely." Dr. Ju;ianne told CNN
However, only 3 of 70 studies in the review calculated the feelings of loneliness rather than actual isolation. Another factor in the review, which the authors take into account, is age and disease. The average age of the participants was 66, which shows the need for further research across younger age groups. The findings are published in the March issue of Perspectives in Psychological Science.

The research further reinforces the benefits of friendships and human connection as strategies for avoiding loneliness. The Mayo Clinic advises that despite the challenges a friendship may present, the benefits have a major impact.

UNHEALTHY Friendship Versus HEALTHY Friendship; which benefits would you prefer? (Note: both would have major impact on you, is either "GOOD" or "BAD."

2015 Elections Must Hold Despite Fire Incident - INEC Officials Say


The Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) warehouse located at its Electoral Institute along Airport Road, Abuja was gutted by fire at the about 11 p.m. on Saturday and put out at about 2 a.m. on Sunday.

Fears among the electorates that 2015 electoral materials might have been affected were cleared by INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity Mr. Wole Osaze Uzzi, who said that the fire that engulfed a part of the Electoral Institute of the INEC, will not affect the general elections.
He said: “None of the sensitive electoral materials for the presidential and National Assembly elections and the governorship and state assembly elections was affected.”
In his explanation of what must have caused the fire incident, the Electoral Institute’s Director of Security, Shettima Ngiladar, said the fire was caused by an electric surge.
“These are non-sensitive materials that have been banned in the warehouse. You will see it yourself, it is not hidden,” he said.
“It is something clear, this banned non-sensitive materials have nothing to do with the (March 28 and April 11) elections. They are old materials in store that have not been evacuated. These are old stock of non sensitive materials, like bags, envelopes, election forms which were used in 2011. They won’t be used for 2015 elections. Everything here is non-sensitive. Police are on ground and security investigation is on.” he added.

Endorse International Anticorruption Court - SERAP Tells Jonathan and Buhari

SERAP--Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project  has urged “the presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), President Goodluck Jonathan and All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari to endorse the global initiative for an International Anticorruption Court (IACC) to demonstrate their expressed commitment to satisfactorily address corruption and impunity of perpetrators if voted into power," in the coming general elections.

In a statement on yesterday, March 15th, signed by SERAP executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni, the organization said that:
“Such a multilateral body will be empowered to probe allegations of corruption in the spending on the fight against Boko Haram, the billions of naira raised under the Victims of Terror Support Fund, and to try other cases of political corruption such as those involving former governors that have remained unresolved for many years.” 
“Given that many Nigerians have lost faith in the ability of successive governments to combat high-level official corruption and money laundering, an IACC could erode the widespread culture of impunity and contribute to creating conditions conducive to the democratic election of honest officials in a country with history of grand corruption.”

The statement continued, that; “Some statistics provide that majority of those indicted for international crimes by the International Criminal Court are in custody, facing trial, or have already been convicted. The rest are fugitives in hard to reach areas or dead. That's not a bad track record. There is no reason to doubt that an International Anti-Corruption Court couldn't do as well, and by doing so it would make a big difference in the efforts to combat corruption in Nigeria."
“Large-scale official corruption is so harmful and antithetical to the idea of a law-based society. It erodes public trust in government and permeates critical institutions of governance. But it is increasingly becoming clear that this kind of corruption is beyond government capacity to prosecute as it is unrealistic to expect ‘turkey to vote for Christmas.’ It is thus appropriate for the world nations to look at how international law can be engaged as a major component of the efforts to address the problem.”
“In Nigeria, corrupt officials generally are not deterred by the threat of prosecution. Endorsing an international court to prosecute outstanding cases of corruption will deter would-be corrupt officials from turning public office into a maximizing unit or business enterprise to make money at the expense of the interest of the public. It will also reduce unnecessary political pressure on the government by corrupt politicians who can use their wealth and contacts to frustrate investigation and prosecution."
“Large-scale corruption is not just stealing of a country’s resources and wealth but also a basic issue of human rights. In countries like Nigeria political corruption continues to kill more people than war and famine put together. We believe that high-ranking public officials who commit acts of corruption that lead or contribute to human suffering, poverty, discrimination and other serious violations of human rights are no less guilty than those who commit crimes under international law,” the organization also said.

GEJ Assures Nigerians - Chibok Girls Are Alive And Would Be Found



President Goodluck Jonathan has assured Nigerians that the Chibok Secondary School girls abducted in April, last year by the deadly Islamic sect, Boko Haram are still alive and will be rescued.

The President gave the assurance yesterday while speaking in a live discussion programme, Kaakaki of African Independent Television (AIT) in Abuja.

He said that the schoolgirls had not been killed by their captors, because they have not displayed their corpses.

“We still have reasonable territories in the hands of Boko Haram. We promised that we must get the girls. The good story is that they have not killed them because the terrorists, when they kill, they display." He said
“They use it to intimidate the whole society. “The girls are alive. We will get the girls. “Luckily, we are narrowing down the area of their control. So, we will get them.” Jonathan explained that the military had been reluctant to move in with full force because of the tendency of terrorists to use captives as human shield, saying, “that is why the pace had to be slow.” The president added.
On why it took so long for the military to successfully come against Boko Haram, The President said:

“Yes, agreed that at the beginning, probably we did not really estimate the capacity of Boko Haram; it is obvious. Boko Haram started as a non-violence group led by Yusuf, limited to around Maiduguri area, Yobe. They did not even get to Adamawa. “Just like every group of youths or young people is inclined to criminality, over the period, they expanded their network and linked up with other terrorist organisations like in the North Africa, like Al-Qaeda and other similar brands in the world. So, they continued to build their capacity and it got to a point that, for you to tackle them in the kind of environment they operate, you need some specialised equipment to use and we don’t manufacture these equipment.” He said the government encountered some difficulties at the beginning, including getting the necessary weapons from other countries, adding however, that about 65 per cent of the weapons is available to prosecute the war. “That is why the movement has changed. So, it is not deliberate,” he said. On efforts to return the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to their homes, Jonathan said the Nigerian troops after dislodging the insurgents, were mopping up the areas already liberated to ensure that Boko Haram did not carry out reprisal attacks, and give the people the confidence and courage to return home"

On the fuel scarcity, He said;
“For the fuel scarcity, we are doing everything humanly possible to ensure it is taken care of. It is very temporary. Of course, the issues of payment are being addressed and we believe that within one or two days, this will completely go.”

Sharon Osbourne Lashes Out at Kim K. for Dressing North in Fur: "She Isn't an Accessory"

Illegal Sierra Leonean Immigrant Who Landed Job In The House Of Commons Arrested For Forged Passport. But The Judge's Sentence Will Get You Crying


An illegal immigrant, who worked in a House of Commons cafe for two months before security noticed she had simply glued her picture onto a fake Swedish passport has been arrested.

Adeyemi Zubairu from Sierra Leone was arrested on 2 January after Palace of Westminster security staff spotted the poorly forged ID document while she working as a casual member of the catering team.

The 37-year-old Zubairu's role at the Despatch Box Café, which she secured through an external recruitment agency, saw her serve coffee to senior ministers, MPs and their guests.

According to Daily Mail, Zubairu insisted she had applied for the job in desperation for cash after her aunt, who still lived in her native country, contracted Ebola and needed medicine.

She was granted a suspended sentence yesterday, March 5th after a judge said she committed the crime for ‘honourable reasons’.
Speaking on the case, Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said;  
"Those who use counterfeit passports to evade immigration rules in this country go to prison for 12 to 18 months at least and those who use them to evade employment strictures for six to 12 months. I think this is one of those cases where I can be merciful and suspend the sentence."

Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith continued... 
"You are an over-stayer, you came to this country in 2008 as a student, your visa expired in 2010, you married in 2014 and applied for leave to remain - that leave as it happens has now been granted. You were allowed to work for six months while your application for leave was considered and as part of that application you surrendered your valid Sierra Leonean passport which meant that you didn’t have it in your possession."
"You have a young sister in Sierra Leone and she was looked after by your aunt. Tragically your aunt fell ill from Ebola and obviously required treatment. That treatment cost money. She died on 30 October and I have seen the certificate."

Baba, You Are A Tenant In Aso Rock, It Belongs To Nigeria - Tinubu To Obasanjo (Once Upon A Time)

The former Lagos State Governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu, yesterday, Thursday, March 5th revealed that though former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, dealt with him; yet "there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics."
Mr. Tinubu stated this at Chief. Obasanjo’s 78th birthday lecture held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State; when he was called on to address the guests. He said:
“You trapped me innocently with a great wisdom of a 78-year-old. I’m honoured to be here and many of you will see this as a rare occasion but this is an opportunity to pay tribute to a nationalist, a teacher, a disciplinarian and a tutor in dignity and boldness.
“Yes, it is true, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics. What is common is common interest. 
"Once upon a time, some nine years ago, I went to the (Aso Rock) Villa, the President, Olusegun Obasanjo, asked me to walk out and was just abusing me in the papers and I said, “Baba, you are a tenant here. This house belongs to Nigeria. If I get to Ota, you can send me out. I brought file about Nigeria.”
And he said, “That is true, sit down.”

“If I could tell you several events that occurred between the two of us in the interest of the nation, I would write an epistle but today is not for that. But how do you celebrate truly and honour a man who has kept you on your toes? Between Baba Olusegun Obasanjo and myself, what I can say is gratitude from me because you kept me on my toes."

“Each time we disagree on things of principle, I took him to court. One time, as the President, he saw me and said, “You took me to court. We can’t be friends after the court.” And I told him, “I didn’t take you to court, I took the Nigeria President to court.” And he said, “Get out of my way” and I told him, I wouldn’t get out of the way until I get what I want.”

What To Expect When You Visit Aliko Dangote...


, a Forbes Staff that writes about people who build businesses, recently paid a visit to Aliko Dangote and wrote a piece on the Africa's Richest man $15 Billion Empire in an article titled "The Little-Known $15 Billion Empire Of Africa's Richest Man." The story would appear fully in the March 23, 2015 issue of Forbes.

Read part of the article below.....
Aliko Dangote lives as you might as expect, given he’s the richest person in Africa and resides in the same country being bullied by the insidious Boko Haram terrorist group, which finds something noble in kidnapping village girls. Located on Victoria Island, a wealthy Lagos enclave that has a moat in the form of a lagoon and the far eastern shores of the Atlantic Ocean, his mansion comes with all the trimmings: massive black gate, bulletproof windows, Big Brother video surveillance, guards and a secret entryway.
After I enter, a butler motions to a sitting room overlooking a patio and a blue-tiled pool. The three-story fortress is shielded from the 90-degree heat by powerful air-conditioners (themselves presumably shielded from Nigeria’s notoriously unreliable electric grid by diesel generators). Dangote, round-faced with a trimmed graying mustache, appears from upstairs dressed in khakis and a casual blue button-down. The 57-year-old can seem miscast in the role of industrial titan, often speaking so softly that he mumbles.

As breakfast arrives by the platterful, including plantains, smoked chicken in red sauce, diced sweet potatoes, white fish and sausage, he sticks to coy conversation. Whether about his country’s fraught presidential election (“It’s going to be tough for both parties”) or his cement company’s long-delayed overseas listing (“Maybe next year”), he has little to say.
On one subject, though, he is always articulate. “Nigeria is one of the best-kept secrets,” Dangote says. “A lot of foreigners are not investing because they’re waiting for the right time. There is no right time.”

Chris Brown's BabyMama Confirmed, Karrueche Bows Out And Rihanna Shocked



  
Chris's BabyMama Nia
According to MediaTakeOut, Chris's babymama is a woman who has dated quite a number of rappers named Nia Gonzalez. Nia, 31 is said to be an instagram model and has got a lot of nude model photos, has appeared in a few music videos, and reportedly been around the Houston area since the 90s.


However, Nia and Chris took a blood test last week which confirmed he's the father of the 9 months old girl. Other media reports said She also knows Chris' now ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran and even partied with her in Vegas around the time she got pregnant. 


TMZ reportedly found out the Chris is happy about being a father whom he has reportedly known for years. TMZ says the two are on good terms but are not romantically involved. 

According to Hollywood Life singer Brown's most famous ex, "The Umbrella" singer Rihanna gave an utmost professional and mature response to the news. An insider told them she was "shocked" and said, "[She] had to read the reports four times before it finally sunk in." Of course, they continued, saying, " ...if it's true, Chris will be a good father and take care of his little girl."

But as for Karrueche Tran, she's not ready for any Baby mama's drama, so she is off and wishes Chris best of luck. (view more photos of Nia after the cut...)

Oprah Winfrey To Close Legendary Chicago-Based Harpo Studios in December And "200-Person Staff" Would Be Layed Off

 
Oprah Winfrey is getting ready to leave Windy City for good in favor of Tinsel Town. 

By the end of this year, Winfrey's Harpo Studios will close its doors in Chicago after 26 years, and all of the operations will be moved to the Oprah Winfrey Network's new headquarters in West Hollywood, it was announced today.
The 61-year-old media mogul, ranked 603 on Forbes' 2015 list of billionaires, personally delivered the news to her staff in Chicago Tuesday morning.
The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) was founded by the former 'queen of daytime' in 2011 in Los Angeles, and Winfrey's executives have spent the past four years traveling back and forth between Chicago and Hollywood.
Two months ago, OWN moved into a new three-story space called The Lot in West Hollywood, setting the stage for the shutdown of Harpo Studios in Chicago.
'[Chicago has] been everything for me. I've spent more hours in this building than I have any other building on Earth,' Miss Winfrey told The Hollywood Reporter by phone. 'We were here when there was nothing but hoes and rats on the street, and now it's one of the hottest neighborhoods.'
The Academy Award-nominated actress and film producer acknowledged that it would be sad for her to bid farewell to her old home base, but she felt it was the right time to consolidate her network’s operations under one roof.
Harpo will stop shooting shows for OWN as of Tuesday, and the studio will officially shutter its doors in December.
Miss Winfrey said in a statement Tuesday that Harpo Studios has been a 'blessing' in her life and she's now 'looking ahead' to inhabiting her California studio.
