I said it when Apple CEO Tim Cook came out as gay that there might be consequences, unfortunately it has started. A human-sized iPhone statue featuring a screen that displays a photo and video tribute to Apple Inc founder, Steve Jobs, which was erected in St Petersburg, Russia in 2013, was dismantled by the people who put it up, a day after Apple CEO, Tim Cook, came out as gay.

The Russian group of companies that erected the monument released a statement today saying it was taken down on Friday Oct. 31st, because they needed to abide by 'a law combating gay propaganda". Whatever that means. I guess more to come...

For those of you who the price of cement has been stopping you from building, Dangote Cement Plc has announced a 41% reduction in the prices of cement, with the different grades now selling for between N1,000 and N1,150, exclusive of Value Added Tax. Now, 50kg of the 32.5 cement grade sells for N1,000, while the higher 42.5 grade will go for N1,150 per bag instead of the current N1,700 that both grades were sold for.

 
The new price structure was announced by the Group MD, Dangote Cement, Mr. Devakumar Edwin, who said 
“We recognise the need for a dramatic increase in the response to the huge infrastructure and housing deficit in the country, and one of the ways of addressing the issue is bringing the price of building materials down to much more affordable levels, especially cement, which is within our own control as part of our contribution to the transformation agenda of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration and the attainment of key milestones in the Millennium Development Goals.”

Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, in a meeting this weekend, ruled out any specific date for the release of abducted Chibok girls but noted that their release was priority on government agenda.
“The true picture in Nigeria as far as insurgency in the North-East is concerned is that the war on Nigeria by the terrorists is still on. And, of course, from the onset of this crisis, government had indicated tackling the insurgency on three fronts: point of engagement, point of consultation and point of containment. And so, consultations definitely will continue: And don’t forget that because of the prolonged nature of the insurgency, a lot of activities are going on, both at the level of government and the level of the insurgents.
"So now, the insurgents are divided into various sectors especially with the death of their leader, Shekau. (But I thought Shekau resurfaced in a video just recently? someone asked) the minister ignore and continued
"However, at the moment, our foreign partners and collaborators are helping and collaborating with Nigeria to arrive at a peaceful resolution of the matter and to bring the insurgency to an end. And one of the issues on the table in arriving to an end to the crisis is the release of the Chibok girls. It is one issue at stake as part of the resolution of the crisis.But for anybody to put a date on the release of the Chibok girls, that person is just being speculative, but we will certainly get there soon”.

Me, I don't understand all these witchy witchy stories. Is it not possible that these people are mentally disturbed individuals instead of witches? I just received these photos and according to the people who claim they witnessed it, a bird suddenly dropped as it was flying by and it turned into the woman above. When people gathered around her, she allegedly confessed to killing four people this week.
This incident happened at Imulokanle street, Ishaga bus stop off Ebule Egba Ekoro road, Lagos. They say she's been wondering around since she fell and they want the police to come take her out of their area. See more photos after the cut...

Apple's CEO Tim Cook publicly came out as gay on Thursday in an essay for Businessweek.

Writing in Businessweek, Cook said the following:

While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.

He goes on to say:

Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. It’s made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple.

What do you think, could this lead to a fall on sale of Apple Products? Or what...?

Many more years of failing?
If you can afford to wait another more years to have some actual money coming in, then ignore this...

But if you want to get started *TODAY*, and learn how you can run a stable, profitable online business entirely from home, in just a few hours a week...

Drop whatever you're doing, and read this:

WE HAVE A GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE BIG BOYS LEAGUE.
This is limited to the first 20 people. We are prepared to respond to only 20 people.

Do you know that every month, about 5 billion naira worth of SMS is sent in this country? Here is an opportunity to get your own share of the dice without stress. Before now, only a select few knew and have jealously guarded the secrets of how to set up a fully customizable and profitable sms portal with your own gateway. Now you too have the opportunity...Everybody is making money from the bulk sms business except you! Even GT Bank have launched their portal.

See, there is money in this business. Even if we are wrong, a financial institution like GTB cannot be wrong!!

Why not allow us bring you into this same business with ever growing demand and have a fair share of this money!

Yes, you can have it very easily and this is why;

Our service operators charge as high as N5 to N7 per SMS, yet over 40 million Nigerians still send SMS daily.

What if we now teach you how to offer this same SMS service (with improved features) to these over 40 million hungry SMS senders at a stupid price, do you think they will be happy?

That is to say that after embracing this business like you're sure going to do in few hours from now, and you succeed in offering 0.1% of the 40 million Nigerians the same service, you will be smiling home with N400,000!

Okay, let's look at this:

Assuming you have just 5 churches as clients each with 1000 members and you get them to send SMS to members twice a week (mind you they send SMS more than twice a week).

It means in a year (52 weeks) you would have sold 520,000 SMS units. If you make a profit of just N1 per SMS unit sold, it means you will earn N520,000 per year from Church contacts alone, EVERY YEAR for as long as your service is used and the great thing is that with our Reseller Programme you can make it automatic! Cos we are setting up for you a roboust system that support unlimited resellers under you.

The income possibilities are just endless and you can get started immediately!

This is just from church contacts alone. What about election campaigns invitations where people send bulk SMS to over 4 million people at a go?

We guess you can catch the gist now?

So, let's talk about how you too can come into this business and launch BIG..

... You can now have Your Own Bulk SMS Business setup for you now for as low as N10,000! (Discount introductory price!)

Gone are those days when people pay as N20,000, N25,000, N35,000, N40,000 to have this same business set up for them.

There are several models of the iPod, including the iPod Nano, Shuffle and Touch. Each iPod has its own method of resetting the device without having to connect it to iTunes. Once you have reset the iPod you can access the device again. However, after a reset, most of your content remains but your settings get restored to the iPod's default configuration. Knowing how to reset your iPod comes in handy if it has frozen before or during your company's presentation and you need it to access audio.

Reset iPod Nano

Step 1Connect your iPod Nano to a power source if you have one available.
Step 2Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down buttons together.
Step 3Hold the buttons down for eight seconds.
Step 4Complete the process again until the iPod resets.
 
Reset iPod Shuffle

Step 1Slide the switch to "Off."
Step 2Wait five seconds.
Step 3Move the switch until the green stripe appears. This will reset your iPod Shuffle.
Reset iPod Touch

Step 1Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the "Slide to Power Off" slider shows up.
Step 2Swipe from left to right to turn the iPod off. If your iPod doesn't respond, continue to the next step.
Step 3Press the Sleep/Wake and Home button for 10 seconds. Continue holding until you see the Apple logo. This will reset your iPod Touch.
Tip

For older iPods that have a scroll wheel, touch wheel or dock connector, slide the "Hold" switch on and off. Hold the "Play/Pause" and Menu buttons together for about eight seconds. Try again if the iPod doesn't reset.

Atiku Abubakar defends Gen. Buhari on twitter against rumours that he is a religious fundamentalist. See more tweets after the cut...

Please read from bottom up...



According to a breaking news report, Nigerian troops are currently engaged in a fierce gun battle with Boko Haram men at Michika town in Adamawa state. Hopefully our troops will crush them as they've been doing in recent times.


Lol. So true. The kind of cars they even use as taxis in that country eh...

Read the State House press release below...
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will undertake a one-day official visit to Niamey, capital of Niger Republic tomorrow, Tuesday, October 7, 2014 to participate in an Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.
President Jonathan and other participating Heads of State and Government are expected to review ongoing collaboration against terrorism and agree on further joint action to curb terrorism and insurgency within and across their national boundaries.
It will be recalled that President Jonathan and the Heads of State and Government of the neighbouring countries of Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin Republic resolved at a meeting in Paris in May this year to intensify joint efforts to curtail terrorism and violent extremism.



At the Paris Summit hosted by President Francois Hollande of France in the aftermath of the dastardly abduction of the Chibok College girls,  President Jonathan and neighbouring heads of state and government also  agreed to establish joint anti-terrorism patrols and a system of sharing  intelligence to support operations against terrorists and other cross-border criminals.



They likewise agreed to create a dedicated team to draw up and advise on the implementation of a regional counter-terrorism strategy under the framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.  



Benin Republic, which participated in the Paris Summit but is not a member of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, has been invited to the Niamey talks.



The Lake Chad Basin Commission was established in 1964 by Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon with the mandate of sustainably and equitably managing   shared water resources of the Lake Chad Basin and promoting regional integration, peace and security across the Basin.



President Jonathan who will be accompanied to Niamey by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, the Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, the Chief Of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Barde and other senior government officials will return to Abuja at the conclusion of the one-day summit.

From a female reader

I have fixed my wedding for October here in the UK but I just found out that another lady is pregnant for my fiance back home in Nigeria. She's six months pregnant, due to give birth in October, same month I am getting married. To say that I am devastated is putting it mildly. I am so hurt that I've shut myself from the outside world. I am now so confused as to what to do. He has been begging me since I found out not to cancel the wedding. The pregnant lady actually contacted me via Facebook to tell me she's having my man's baby and when I confronted him, he didn't deny it. I have been with this man for three and a half years and all my family and friends have contributed one way or another to this wedding. The invitations haven't gone out yet, but all our people know the wedding is for October. I am so confused. Should I cancel the wedding? My female friends are telling me not to but surprisingly, my mum wants me to. What should I do?

Today is the 2nd year remembrance of Aluu 4 victims. Two years later and no one has paid for their brutal killing on Friday morning October 5th 2012. We are still hoping that justice will one day be served. Continue to rest in peace, Chidiaka Biringa, Lloyd Michael, Tekena Elkanah and Ugonna
Obuzor. Gone but not forgotten.

A 42 year old man who allegedly impregnated his 16 year old daughter in Oyo state has been arrested by the state police command. According to Sunday Sun, the JSS 2 student was repeatedly raped by her own father after she'd left her mum and gone to live with him. Oyo State Com­missioner of Police, Kola Sodipo said on the night she was first raped, the father had asked the victim to undress, but when she refused and attempted to escape, he threatened her with a cut­lass and then raped her.

The 16 year old gave birth to her father's child on September 16th. Continue...

 
After the act, the raped girl reported what happened to her step mother who didn't do anything about it. Recounting how her ordeal started and what transpired after, the victim told Sunday Sun:
“I was living with my mother until 2013 when my father asked me to come and live with him. On December 25, 2013 my father woke me up and asked me to remove my clothes but I refused. He drew a cut­lass and threatened to kill me if I didn’t do his bidding. I removed my clothes and he forcefully had sex with me. He was the first man to sleep with me be­cause I had never had sex before then. I reported the ugly incident to one of his two wives who is a nurse and she promised to ask him but I don’t know whether she asked him or not.
“In March 2014, he did the same thing again and I ran to the house of his second wife and reported to her. She asked me to swear to an oath with the Bible but I refused since I knew I was speaking the truth. I started sleeping in her apartment. In April, he came and asked me to return to his apartment to do some things for him but I refused to go. His second wife, however, put pressure on me to answer my father’s call as he wanted me to do some things for him at home. I followed him after much pressure.
“During Easter celebration on April 18, 2014 he had sex with me again. All this while I didn’t know I was pregnant because I had my last menstruation in December 2013. My stepmother sus­pected that I was pregnant and took me to a clinic at Igbeti where a test showed I was pregnant.”
“The case was reported at the police station on April 30, 2014 and I started living with my paternal grand­father. I was taken to General Hospital Igbeti, where my mother pleaded with the doctor to abort the pregnancy, but the doctor said he would not do it. After I delivered the baby and my grandmother was told the baby looks like father, my father ran away.”
“When the pregnancy was confirmed, the Divi­sional Police Officer (DPO) and the Di­visional Crime Officer (DCO) were the ones who purchased the baby clothes and other things needed. They also paid the hospital bill. I am appealing to the public to come to my assistance and help me finish my education. I am in JSS 2.”
The baby was delivered on September 16, 2014.

The Medical Director of the General Hospital where the baby was delivered advised that a DNA test should be carried out to determine the pater­nity of the child but said it can't be done until six months after delivery of the baby.

The girl's father has been charged to court. He was remanded in Oyo Prison pending when the case comes up on October 24th.

After five years together, actress Ini Edo's marriage to her US based husband Philip Ehiagwina has crashed. The couple who lived separately for most of their marriage decided to formally split in early August. There are reports that Ini's people have even returned the bride price Philip paid in 2008.

Ini has since removed her husband's name from her social media accounts and she also removed wife from her bio on instagram. Her bio used to read - actress and wife...but wife is no longer there. A source that I spoke with said they have been having problems for quite a while because of trust issues before they decided to finally end their marriage. They have no children together.

Barely a week after a building belonging to Christ Chosen Church of God collapsed in Edo state killing three people, another church building has collapsed in the state.

A building belonging to Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state, collapsed yesterday September 28th. 

According to reports, the incident happened shortly after members of the church left the building after the close of service. No life was lost.

The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, told reporters that the building collapsed because it was not properly built...

“The storm that followed the rain was much but I have been complaining about the building structure. The pastor built the church like a fence, no pillar. The block is just ordinary sand. I have been telling him that no pillar would cause the building to collapse. The building fell on my building and damaged many things. I thanked God that nobody died. When the pastor came, he was concerned about the musical instrument in his church and thanked God that his church members were not around when the building fell. I had to call the police. The building has already cracked and I have been warning the pastor that the building will collapse.” he said

10 Nigerians who went to Saudi Arabia to perform the Islamic Hajj rites have died. Chairman of the National Hajj, Mr Aliyu Tanko, confirmed their deaths but didn't reveal the causes of their deaths. A source with the group said that some of the people who died had lingering health problems before embarking on Hajj while the harsh weather conditions affected others...

The man who designed the Nigeria flag, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi was decorated as an Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic, OFR, by President Jonathan today September 29th, 55 years after designing the flag.

He wasn't only given an award today, president Jonathan also said he will be placed on a lifetime salary that must be in line with what any Senior Special Advisers earns. 

No other government before this government found Pa Akinkunmi worthy of a national award or a lifetime salary. So happy for him.

The Cameroon military yesterday announced they have killed Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in a statement released on their website. The statement was written in French (a language I don't understand...so I got the report from Cameroon Concord. See it below...
In a rare public show by the Cameroon army, photos of the Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau were made public alongside a statement claiming he was killed during a cross border raid deep inside Nigeria by the Cameroon military. A Cameroon military source who spoke to Cameroon Concord late last night, revealed that Abubakar Shekau was killed following an aerial bombardment of his hideout inside Nigeria. The Cameroon army has ever since yesterday been in serious combat against thousands of Boko Haram fighters trying to enter Cameroon via Fotokol from Gambaral Ngala in Nigeria.
Is that the same man though?

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, says President Jonathan will be the one to determine if he would still like to run with his Vice, Namadi Sambo in the 2015 general elections.

Metuh said this at a press conference yesterday September 21st in Abuja. He also said that President Jonathan is yet to respond to the decision the party members took on Thursday September 18th where he was adopted as the sole Presidential candidate of the PDP
"The President is yet to communicate to the party or to the entire country because he is not only the President of the PDP, he is the President of Nigeria and I cannot inform you of decisions that have been taken in terms of what will happen because subjective opinions is not part of my job. I believed a lot of people are trying to speculate on Jonathan/Sambo ticket but why don’t we wait until when the President declares?
But I must inform that part of the reasons the PDP has not mentioned that, is because it is a winning team. What the President has done he has done it very well and he's the winning team. I believe that there is no need to magnify or attempt to import any difference between the President and the Vice President. They have worked so well. The Vice President has continued to be the second most loyal Vice President in the history of this country so I believe that he enjoys the confidence of the President. In the 2015 elections if the President accepts to run we will be able to take it to the next level.” Metuh said
