Hermaphrodite disgraced in Sapele
There is nothin you will not see in Naija...this our country is a very hilarious place to live in...just enjoy the story below
From Tribune,
A man in his late 40s, who refused to utter a word despite the hysteria his presence generated, was almost lynched by a mob but for the intervention of police and other security agents.
The man, whose name could not be ascertained was discovered to possess a full grown pair of breasts, which dangled from his chest, just like those of a young woman.
An angry mob was going for the kill when security operatives were quickly drafted to the scene. Their (mob) grouse was that it was strange and unacceptable that a man would possess dual sex organs.
Young men near a filling station at the Sapele -Warri/New Road junction tore the man’s clothes, and revealed a very small male organ, allegedly with no scrotum – which to them suggested that he was a hermaphrodite.
Saturday Tribune gathered from some onlookers who claimed to know the man that he had been seeking spiritual solutions to his problem by moving from one church to another.
It was further learnt that at one of the churches, he started manifesting some strange behaviours while for some time he hid his male and female sexual organs from church officials who later found out his status as a hermaphrodite.
The voice and face of the man were masculine even as he was said to also have female reproductive organs.
Men of the Nigeria Police in Sapele, and the other security operatives who were drafted to scene, quickly dislodged the irate mob, who were taking turns to fiddle with the man’s sex organs, ostensibly to further confirm their suspicions that the man was really a freak.
He was thereafter spirited away by the police to the Sapele Police Station for protective custody and investigations....very sad

Gambian president warns homosexuals to stay away from the country or regret being born
Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh, has warned that any gay or lesbians
found in the country will "regret" being born. During a speech on March
28th at the opening of the country’s parliament, President Jammeh said:Homosexuality is anti-humanity. I have never seen homosexual chicken, or turkey. If you are convicted of homosexuality in this country, there will be no mercy for offenders.
Homosexuality is anti-god, anti-human, and anti-civilization. Homosexuals are not welcome in the Gambia. If we catch you, you will regret why you are born. I have buffalos from South Africa and Brazil and they never date each other. We are ready to eat grass but we will not compromise on this. Allowing homosexuality means allowing satanic rights. We will not allow gays here.So homosexuals, biko stay away from the country! :-)

Speaking at the roll
out event in Lagos, Mr. Walter Drenth, Marketing Director Nigerian Breweries
plc said “over the years, Star Lager Beer has risen to become the number 1
favourite beer and the undisputed market leader in Nigeria. The brand has
continued to keep its consumers actively engaged all year round through its
exciting consumer engagement platforms that cut through music, football and
consumer promotions”.
Star League – Text
& Play, the Marketing Director stressed would be a consumer promotion with
a difference. “It is an innovative platform where consumers would be actively
engaged throughout the duration of the promotion, while they stand the chance
to win exciting prizes in the process. It is unique, interesting and different.
The Star League-Text & Play will run from April 2nd to May 31st, 2013.
The promotion is a
crown cork based one- that means consumers will buy and open a bottle of Star,
enjoy the rich taste, look under the crown cork and there they find their
ticket to be part of the exciting Star League. There will be two categories of
winning crown corks: The first 50% of crown corks will have codes with
differentiated points in 5 bands of 10pts, 20pts, 30pts, 40pts and 200pts,
while the remaining 50% of crown corks will carry the brand’s website
address: www.star-nigeria.com

consumers will send by SMS the code under the crown cork with their full name,
age and state of residence to the short code 30383. Consumers must have a
mobile telephone line from any of the mobile service providers in Nigeria,
registered in their name. The SMS system will work with all major telecoms
operators in the country.
The mobile phone number
used to send the code will be used to register the consumer on the Star website
and Star database. They will automatically get a response with the number of
points earned per crown cork and a directive to check their “standing” on the
“League Table” at (www.star-nigeria.com). This applies to every subsequent
successful entry. The consumer will accumulate points over the period of the
promo using the registered mobile number. With every subsequent successful
entry, they will get a response with the cumulative points to date on that
particular phone number.
What makes the promo
more exciting is that consumers will have the opportunity to view their
position by the points accumulated on a specially designed League table per
State of entry on the Star website. At the end of the promotion, participants
with the highest points from each “State League” will be rewarded as follows:
For each of the 36
States and Abuja: Top 15 winners get iPads® with customized sleeves; Next 550
winners get Premium head phones whileNext 1000 winners get Exclusive Star DVDs.
Noted for holding its
consumers in very high esteem and for doing things in unique ways, the brand
will add a personal touch to the winning experience. Hence, the prizes will be
delivered personally to the different winners wherever they may reside in the
country at their advised and verifiable physical addresses.“For Star, this is
the least of its gestures at appreciating the consumers’ unwavering love for
the brand”, Drenth concludes.

MTN Ultimate Wonder winner, Ebube Garricks, relocates abroad
FG to stop UTME, NECO, others
FG to stop UTME, NECO, others
Indications emerged last night that the Federal Government may have resolved to scrap some of its agencies in line with the recommendations of the Steve Oronsaye-led Presidential Committee on the Rationalization and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies following the completion of study of its White Paper Committee report. Among those scrapped are Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UMTE), National Examination Council (NECO), Public Complaints Commission, National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) and the Fiscal Mobilization and Allocation Commission among others.
The Oronsaye committee had recommended the abolition of 38 agencies, the merger of 52 and the reversion of 14 to departments in the ministries from which they were carved out, a move the committee argued would save the government more than N862 billion between 2012 and 2015 should its proposal be adopted. A reliable government source confirmed that President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo and selected senior aides of the president met twice and eventually took decisions, which included the scrapping of some agencies and merging of others.
Another source revealed that the with the scrapping of the UTME, individual universities in the country would conduct their own admission examinations and admit students while the Joint Matriculation and Examination Board will set and ensure compliance to standards as it acts as the clearing house. The source said JAMB would be modeled along the line of Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS), the central organization through which applications are processed for entry to higher education in the United Kingdom.
According to the source, “individual university will do their own examination and admission. If you want to apply to a university, you do so but in order not to have a situation where one person gets multiple admission, JAMB acts as a clearing house to free up spaces. All the universities are free now to admit students.” Even though details were still being worked out, it was learnt that government’s decision, was informed by the need to promote merit in admission into the nation’s universities because “the idea is to ensure that the best students go to the best universities.”
The source further disclosed that the president had also approved that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) is now expected to take over the functions and vast infrastructure of NECO, which now ceases to exist. The sources confirmed that WAEC would now conduct two external examinations in a year, January and November. The Public Complaints Commission is to be merged with the Human Rights Commission, just as NAPEP would also be scrapped and replaced National Agency for Job Creation and Empowerment.
The Oronsaye-led Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation made far-reaching recommendations, which, it explained, were aimed at helping the government to effect a drastic reduction in the size of its bloated bureaucracy, eliminating duplication of functions and bringing down the cost of governance. The committee submitted its report to the president in April last year..

The Forbes Five: Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists 2013
2. Jay Z - $475 million: He’s still rolling in cash from megadeals like his $204 million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live Nation the following year. He continues to hold stakes in Roc Nation, Carol’s Daughter, the Brooklyn Nets and, more significantly, the Barclays Center itself, while adding new partnerships with the likes of Duracell, Budweiser and Bacardi’s D’ussé Cognac
See the last three after the cut...
3. Dr Dre - $350 million: It's thanks mostly to his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. A year after selling 51% of the company to handset maker HTC for $300 million in August 2011, Dre and his partners bought back half of the half they sold in 2012—and their investment continues to soar in value due to Beats’ whopping 65% market share of the premium ($99 and up) headphone market.
4. Bryan “Birdman” Williams - $150 million: Riding from his Cash Money/Young Money empire. His roster includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne (the latter crossed the $100 million threshold for the first time this year, by our estimates, but remains just outside the top five). Birdman also recently launched a YMCMB clothing line and a spirit called GT Vodka.
5. 50 Cent - $125 million: The bulk of his fortune came from heavy sales of his music, merchandise, video games and books in the wake of his smash debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’- and particularly from his payout for the sale of his stake in VitaminWater parent Glacéau to Coca-Cola in 2007.

100 soldiers storm terror suspects’ hideouts in Lagos
Fear gripped many residents of Lagos on Thursday when news filtered in that troops numbering about 100 stormed terror suspects’ hideouts in Ijora, a densely populated part of the city.
The soldiers, who were assisted by men of the State Security Service, were believed to have acted on a tip-off. They were said to have arrived in the area around 7am in search of the suspects said to be members of an Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram.It was learnt that their search yielded fruits when two persons were arrested at 24 Aromire Street and three others at a location in an adjacent street.
The soldiers then ransacked the building at Aromire Street where one of the arrested persons, Ibrahim Musa, occupies five rooms. A bomb kept in a cooler and hidden inside the ceiling of one of the rooms in Musa’s apartment was recovered by the soldiers.
Musa, who a security source described as an illegal alien from Chad, was said to be leader of the suspects.
Other items found were AK-47 rifles, cartridges and daggers.
The security source, who craved anonymity, added the raid was as a result of an investigation which began a month ago.
He said, “Security agents got information a month ago that there was a terrorist hideout in the Seven-Up area of Ijora. Although we were not sure if they were Boko Haram members or not, we did not want to take any chances so we decided to go and raid the place.
“It was discovered that the place was being run by a Chadian and arms were recovered during the raid, including AK-47 riffles. Investigations are ongoing and those who are found not culpable will be released.”
Musa’s neighbour, who craved anonymity, told one of our correspondents that they did not suspect he was a member of Boko Haram.
He said the suspect moved into the house less than three months ago.
“Musa rented his apartment about three months ago. However, since he moved in with his wife, who recently had a baby and a brother, none of them had any known form of livelihood. Musa and his brother, particularly were always going about with their laptops and expensive phones.
“Though he (Musa) was not working, he was usually the first to pay for anything in the house. It was when the soldiers came that we got to know what they truly are. It was in the course of beating him (Musa) that he told the soldiers where he hid the bomb and guns.”
Another resident of the area, who identified himself simply as Olu, said that when the suspects were being taken away by the soldiers “we did not know they were living here.”
“When soldiers were taking them away, we wondered if they were living in the neighbourhood. It was my neighbour, who told me he had seen Musa once or twice,” he said.
Olu said when the soldiers were going, they told them to be vigilant in the area, saying Boko Haram members had infiltrated the area, particularly the Hausa settlement.
When one of our correspondents met the Ojora of Ijora , Oba Fatai Adeyinka, he said he was shocked that Boko Haram members had infiltrated the area.
The spokesman for the Army 81 Division, Colonel Kingsley Umoh, confirmed the raid but said the army had been carrying out constant raids across the state in response to the rising level of insecurity in the country.
Umoh said over 36 people had been arrested recently. He however said he had yet to receive the details of Thursday’s operation.
He said, “The Nigerian Army is carrying out a proactive approach. We are raiding every nook and cranny of the state in order to rid it of criminal elements. We are not ignorant of the insecurity in the country so we are carrying out preventive measures and we want to make sure that Lagos is safe for all its inhabitants.
“The raids have been in collaboration with sister agencies like the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the SSS, the police and others. It is the OP MESA of the army that is at the forefront of the raids and we have recorded many successes of late as we have also arrested some soldiers who were found wanting.
“I will not be able to brief you fully about Thursday’s raid.”
Lagos State Director, SSS, Achu Olayi, also confirmed the raid but said that it was too soon for him to say if the suspects were Boko Haram members or not.
The raid on Thursday on the predominantly Hausa settlement came a month after the SSS uncovered a terror network coordinated by Iranians in Lagos.
The SSS had said while parading a leader of an Islamic sect, Abdullahi Berende, and two others that they believed that the operators of the Iranian terror cell were gathering information about Israelis and Americans living in Nigeria.
Meet the guy who broke Tonto Dikeh's heart
Chief Capo is an international model, rapper, singer and the CEO of G-Muzik Entertainment. He shuttles between his home in Atlanta and the one here in Nigeria.
Capo and Tonto have been dating quietly off and on since 2010 after he relocated to Nigeria that year to set up his music business. His mum is South African and his dad is Igbo. See more after the cut..
Don't know for sure what led to their break up but insiders claim it had something to do with 'other women'
"2G (Capo) always has a lot of attractive females around him because he's rich and very good looking and Tonto wasn't comfortable with it and basically couldn't handle it anymore. They would fight all the time about it and she also recently caught him with another woman which is what caused the breakup. I know they are both heart broken and miss each other, and yes it is true he did write and record the song Booski Lover for her." The insider told me
Like Tonto, the G-Music Entertainment boss also Tweeted about a recent break up. Capo is currently in Atlanta cooling off since the break up. Listen to the song he supposedly wrote for Tonto HERE.
Chinua Achebe, African Literary Titan, Dies at 82
 Chinua Achebe, the Nigerian writer who was black Africa’s most widely read novelist and one of the continent’s towering men of letters, has died after a brief illness, his publisher and agent said in London on Friday. He was 82. Few details were immediately available. Besides novels, Mr. Achebe’s works included powerful essays and poignant short stories and poems rooted in the countryside and cities of his native Nigeria, before and after independence from British colonial rule. His most memorable fictional characters were buffeted and bewildered by the conflicting pulls of traditional African culture and invasive Western values. For inspiration, Mr. Achebe drew on his own family history as part of the Igbo nation of southeastern Nigeria, a people victimized by the racism of British colonial administrators and then by the brutality of military dictators from other Nigerian ethnic groups. Mr. Achebe burst onto the world literary scene with the publication in 1958 of his first novel, “Things Fall Apart,” which sold millions of copies and was translated into 45 different languages. Set in the Igbo countryside in the late 19th century, the novel tells the story of Okonkwo, who rises from poverty to become an affluent farmer and village leader. But with the advent of British colonial rule and cultural values, Okonkwo’s life is thrown into turmoil. In the end, unable to adapt to the new status quo, he explodes in frustration, killing an African in the employ of the British and then committing suicide. The novel, which is also compelling for its descriptions of traditional Ibo society and rituals, went on to become a classic of world literature and was often listed as required reading in university courses in Europe and the United States. But when it was first published, “Things Fall Apart” did not receive unanimous acclaim. Some British critics thought it idealized pre-colonial African culture at the expense of the former empire. “An offended and highly critical English reviewer in a London Sunday paper titled her piece cleverly, I must admit Hurray to Mere Anarchy!” wrote Mr. Achebe in “Home and Exile,” a collection of autobiographical essays that appeared in 2000. A few other novels by Mr. Achebe early in his career were occasionally criticized by reviewers as being stronger on ideology than on narrative interest. But over the years, Mr. Achebe’s stature grew until he was considered a literary and political beacon. “In all Achebe’s writing there is an intense moral energy,” [/b]observed Kwame Anthony Appiah, professor of Afro-American studies and philosophy at Princeton, in a commentary written in 2000. “He speaks about the task of the writer in language that captures the sense of threat and loss that must have faced many Africans as empire invaded and disrupted their lives.” In a 1998 New York Times book review, the novelist Nadine Gordimer hailed Mr. Achebe as [b]“a novelist who makes you laugh and then catch your breath in horror — a writer who has no illusions but is not disillusioned.” Mr. Achebe’s political thinking evolved from blaming colonial rule for Africa’s woes to frank criticism of African rulers and of citizens who tolerated their corruption and violence. Forced abroad by Nigeria’s bloody civil war in the 1960s and then by military dictatorship in the 1980s and 1990s, Mr. Achebe had lived for many years in the United States, where he was a university professor. But he continued to believe that writers and storytellers ultimately held more power than army strongmen. “Only the story can continue beyond the war and the warrior,” an old soothsayer observes in Mr. Achebe’s 1988 novel, “Anthills of the Savannah.” “It is the story that saves our progeny from blundering like blind beggars into the spikes of the cactus fence. The story is our escort; without it, we are blind.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/23/world/africa/chinua-achebe-nigerian-writer-dies-at-82.html?hp

Most
of us had that particular punishment we served when we did something
wrong while growing up... to some it was just kneeling down and for some
it was cleaning the entire house as a punishment while some did what we
call 'pick-pin'... the punishment you serve is dependent on how strict
your parents are.

I thought bombers were potential passengers - Survivor
Culled from Punch
As the smoke cleared from the New Road Luxury Bus Motor Park, in Sabon Gari Kano, victims of the terror attack, who were lucky to be alive to tell their stories, on Tuesday recalled moments before the bomb went off.
Most of the injured victims are currently receiving medical attention at the Murtala Mohammed Memorial Hospital, Kano.
One of the victims, Mr. Emmanuel Bassey, 37, who works at the Luxury bus park as a park attendant attached to Ezewanta Transport, saidhe was hurt but lucky and happy to be alive.
In a telephone interview with our correspondent, (before hospital staff ended the encounter), he was full of gratitude to God for sparing his life.
According to him, he and several of his colleagues were going about their normal dutiesof attracting passengers to board buses for a commission when a small car with two occupants came into the park.
“I rushed to them faster than most of my colleagues. I went and asked them where they were going and one of them said they had yet todecide and that when they decided they would let me know. I left them and went away.
“But four of my other colleagues rushed to the car when they saw that I did not succeed.
“As they approached the vehicle, the driver sped off and headed towards some of the parked buses. Almost immediately, I heard a deafening sound! Then a thick black smoke and fire; there was confusion everywhere. I thank God I am lucky to be alive, my other colleagues died.”
He was not alone, Magawa Goje, 45, a retailer of dried beef, popularly called Kilishi, also counted himself lucky.
Goge said, “I sell Kilishi (dried beef) at the SabonGari Luxury bus park. I was busy selling my Kilishito people who are getting on the bus when I heard a loud band and felt a sharp pain on my chin. That is all I can remember before I woke upon this bed. I heard people saying Boko Haram did this. Whoever did this will rot in the hottest part of hell. Allah will surely judge them.”
Meanwhile, traders in and around the park have relocated into other areas of Sabon Gari as rumours of reprisals continued to fill the air. Security has also been beefed up around places of worship.

How TV presenter, Rachel Edjeren, was chased in a dream by Indian hair she fixed
Below is a story Abuja based TV producer/ presenter and blogger, Rachel Edjeren, shared some days back on her BLOG about the day she was chased in a dream by the Indian hair she fixed..
"My sister in-law came to pray with me last two years. She said she was experiencing ill luck during the week. So many nasty things happening to her.
"I prayed wit her and the Spirit led me to ask herwhat hair she had on, she said Indian. I was led to tell her to remove it and not give out but pray and burn it. She obeyed and things went back to normal. Sometime after that, my hubby and I watched a documentary on how ladies in India sacrifice their hair to the gods if they have nothing else worthy to sacrifice. It gets more interesting...:-) Continue...
My husband likes human hair. So even though I like my full dreadlocks kind of hairstyles, I give him what he likes most times. I have done brazilian and Peruvian hair so thought to try something different and more natural which is Indian hair.
Last weekend I ordered for it and made it. Prayed on it and believed it was fine. Yesterday night (march 14, 2013) I had the strangest of dreams. I saw that I made a hair that allowed me to pack it thus project my face and make it look slimmer. All of a sudden, I got into a scuffle wit 3 people who began to chase me all over theplace to kill me. I got off from them narrowly and ran into a market. There, a mad man began to chase me.

All of a sudden, I got into a scuffle wit 3 people who began to chase me all over theplace to kill me. I got off from them narrowly and ran into a market. There, a mad man began to chase me.
I escaped him narrowly then 2 Molester-thugs came after me. All the while, I felt I was carryingsomeone else’s face.
I ran into a house with people praying. The lady in charge there looked at me and showed me a picture of my self with my regular synthetic dread-like hair and said “but that is ur regular look, why are you carrying someone else's face. Then from no where another lovely lady came from outside, drew me to the corner and began to ask me about my look. She said “you are having problems with your hair right?” Whilst she was talking, I noticed something in her mouth; a bowl of cowries and the face of a Beningod. I looked closer and asked her what it was and why she had it.
She said her man likes her because of that decor in her mouth—cowries and the face of a god likea shrine in one’s mouth?
she also said that she is comfortable and that it’sbeautiful.
I woke up and prayed and immediately understood what the message was but didn’t want to let go of my cute human hair that cost somuch.
I decided to ask my husband because he interprets dreams accurately.
He immediately told me to remove the hair. At the same time, the Spirit told me to cut it off and not remove it gracefully because it tried to bring me shame and pain.
Cut it off, anoint your head, anoint and pray on the hair to refute all ill and do not just throw it away but BURN IT. I obeyed.
I have decided to only carry my natural hair or synthetic hair.
This is because the Bible says; “The hair is the woman’s crowning glory”. Carrying another’s is like carrying the other person’s spirit. The worst is even Indian. Nothing wrong with Indians; They are beautiful and we love them especially in Films but those hairs sold are sacrifices to gods. Thus, they are cursed.
T here are loads of other human-looking hair made with synthetic in the market if you want that look or if you insist on wearing real human hair, try those from other Countries but pray on them and be ready to bear any consequence.

WHEN WILL THE GIANTS RISE?
WHEN WILL THE GIANTS RISE-Anslem Precious
When has
fire works
Become a
weapon of mass execution?
When did our
churches
Become a
slaughter house?
When did we start?
Using fire-arms
on ourselves?
When will
our roads, cease
To be mass
graves?
When will
the swarms
Hatched by
our universities
Be introduced
into our work force?
When will
our eagles soar?
When will
the guns stop discharging accidentally?
When will
pure water be sold for #5?
When will
the people vote?
When will we
stop putting out others, sparks, and pay attention to our own inferno?
When will corruption rest in perfect peace?
WHEN WILL
THE GIANTS RISE?
