The transfer window in Nigerian politics
TRANSFER WINDOW IN NIGERIAN POLITICTS
Just like what is obtained in the European
football season every r January where most football clubs go for a desperate
shopping for players in a bid to strengthen their teams to enable them compete favorably
for the title.
Same
situation can be attributed to the Nigerian political scene especially now when
the 2015 elections is around the corner. Nigerian politicians are in search for
fertile political platforms that will help them nurture their political ambition.
Similarly, political parties are both in a scramble for political heavy weights
that will help them assemble a strong political arsenal ahead of the 2015
general elections.
No
politician or political party is leaving any stone unturned. In recent weeks,
there has been mass transfer and movement of political heavy weights in the
country from one party to another especially among the two GIANTS in Nigeria.
[PDP and APC].
Most
recent is the decamping of eleven senators amidst all controversies from the
ruling PDP to the fast rising APC, the defection of former Kano state
governor mallam Ibrahim shekarau and
Atahiru Bafarawa from APC to the PDP. And then the defection again of former
vice president Atiku Abubakar from PDP
to APC only give a toast of what to expect from Nigerian politicians as the
election year approaches. My request to all those in this buying and selling of
politicians is that they should please devote the same if not more efforts that
they have been using in developing strategies to win the 2015 elections to
initiate development plans that will better the fortunes of Nigerian and
Nigerians.

What the bible say about money
Most people know Sean Hyman from his regular appearances on Fox Business, CNBC, and Bloomberg Television, but what they don’t know is that Sean is a former pastor, and that his secret to investing is woven within the Bible.
Perhaps that can explain why, despite his uncanny ability to predict precise moves in the stock market, Sean is often laughed at for his unique stance on investing.
For example . . . a few months ago Sean appeared on Bloomberg Television. At that time, Best Buy (BBY) was dropping to all-time lows of $16 a share. Sean predicted the stock could go down to $11 a share, and would then quickly rebound to $25 per share, and after that would rally to $40 per share over the next year.
Another commentator on the show actually mocked Sean for his stance, saying “$40 on Best Buy? If that’s the case Apple (AAPL) is going to $1,500. That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!” (Editor’s Note: At the time, Apple was trading at $650 per share).
Within a few weeks, Sean would receive the last laugh.
Best Buy dropped down to $11.20 a share and has since rebounded to $30 a share, continuing its path to $40 . . . exactly as Sean predicted. (Ironically, Apple has dropped down to about $400 per share).
During a recent private dinner with Sean, once he’d blessed the food, I wasted no time asking him what his secret is for investing so successfully.
I expected Sean to say that it was his years of experience at Charles Schwab or perhaps one of the complicated algorithms he uses for timing the stock market.
So when Sean responded that his secret to investing was the Bible, I was thoroughly shocked.
Yes, I knew Sean was a Christian (anyone who spends more than 1 minute with him will pick that up!). However, people usually keep their faith separate from things like . . . investing.
But not Sean.
For Sean, the Bible is his FOUNDATION for investing.
He explained to me how there is actually a “Biblical Money Code” woven into Scripture.
Sean says it is this Biblical Money Code that took him from making a mere $15,000 a year to now giving away up to $50,000 a year. Sean also credits this code with helping him turn his father’s $40,000 retirement account into $396,000.
Certain investment titans, Sean says, such as Warren Buffett and John Templeton, have already used this code to amass billions.
What Sean had to say impressed me so much that I asked him to put a presentation together that reveals how anyone could use this “Biblical Money Code.”
I’ve personally watched this presentation several times and it is already spreading virally.
During the video, Sean uses the teachings of King Solomon, Jesus of Nazareth, and the Apostle Paul to show how anyone can get out of debt . . . make sound investments . . . and morally build substantial wealth.
Sean even reveals a “debilitating ‘financial sin’ that blinds many . . . and could be costing you up to 41% of your life savings at this very moment.” What’s so deceiving about this sin is how innocent and safe it appears at first.
And at the end, he finishes up with his “12-12-12 plan for investing.” This is a simple step-by-step plan to go from being a saver, to an investor, to a philanthropist.

Paul Walkers death revealed...
Paul Walker’s Cause Of Death Revealed
According to the statement, Walker did not die by the impact of the crash, and is believed to have been alive for a few seconds. It’s said that ultimately the fire caused by the impact was the cause of death. In the case of Roger Rodas, 38, the driver died on impact from severe injuries, and fire was not listed as a factor in his death.
It’s said that toxicology results will not be in for the two men until six to eight weeks, although the Medical Examiner has ruled that the deaths of Walker and his friend were accidental.
As for the event surrounding the accident, the two men were winding down after a charity event for Walker’s ROWW organization when they decided to take the red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT out for a test drive. According to Walker and Rodas’ mutual friend, Jim Torp, the two were not drag racing and were testing out a problem with the car that the two were trying to diagnose.
Shortly they left the garage, tragedy struck. According to Torp, smoke was visible from Always Evolving Performance Motors, which was the shop Rodas owned, and is around the corner from the crash site. Although many of their friends tried to get them out of the car, there was nothing that could be done. In addition, initial reports that said Walker’s 15-year-old daughter Meadow was on site at the time are false.
Paul Walker’s family has made an official statement on his public Facebook that has amassed to 12 million likes:
“Paul Walker’s family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill from his many fans and friends. They have asked, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul’s charity Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). Donations can easily be made through their
yaya toure spoils eagles day

Why shampoos are waste of money
Why Shampoos Are a Waste of Money
We then spend a fortune of time and money on products that are effectively undoing the damage caused by shampoo.
Nobody knows this problem better than hair care professionals who are dealing with it day-in and day-out. One in particular, legendary L.A. celebrity stylist Chaz Dean, decided to do something about it. He got tired of clients leaving his salon raving about their color and the feel of their hair, only to complain a few weeks later that their hair looked and felt brassy and dull.
He knew the main culprit was likely their shampoo, so he started experimenting with various ingredients, including natural herbs and botanicals, that he knew had cleansing and hydrating properties.
The result was a radically new approach to the way we cleanse our hair. It’s called WEN® Cleansing Conditioner. WEN® does not contain harsh chemicals and is sulfate free, so it can be used as often as necessary for all hair types. WEN® will both cleanse the hair as well as impart strength and softness, even to damaged hair.
WEN® is a 5-in-1 formula that takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep-conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner. And, the most amazing thing about it is that it cleanses without lather. Instead, when mixed with water, it cleanses without lather for stronger, healthy-looking, manageable results. The first time you try it certainly feels strange, but the results speak for themselves.
WEN® has undergone extensive consumer tests, and the results are impressive. In fact, 90 percent of the participants in a three week consumer perception study reported that their hair was less frizzy and had more bounce.
It's also recommended for all hair types, and once you start using it, it can easily become the only cleanser/conditioner you
Right now, WEN® is offering an easy way for online shoppers to try the product. They have put together a special introductory kit that contains everything you need to start enjoying this incredible treatment, plus two really cool free gifts and free shipping.
The introductory kit is now less than $30 and has a 60 day money-back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied
A rumor circulating the internet says that a snake ate a man in India. But we are not so convinced.
The photo, which has swept across social media sites, appears to show a python that has just finished a human-sized meal.
While suggestions about where the picture may have been taken range between Asia, Africa and America, the general consensus is that this snake’s food was human.
The website Hoax Slayer, says the photograph is fake. But other websites are making other claims.
One website claims it was taken in India, where the mighty snake swallowed a sleeping drunkard.
Another version goes that the snake swallowed a woman in Durban North, South Africa, this summer, and that the picture was taken by a reporter.
This is not the first time rumors of human eating snakes have gone viral on the internet. Several years ago, there was a rumor that a park ranger in India was eaten by a large snake. Although these rumors do exist there are no confirmed reports of actual human eating snakes.
In Brazil, legend has it there are snakes that eat children in the Amazon, that many villagers claim to be real. However as for this picture, whatever that snake has decided to eat, it will have a long time working on getting it to digest.

Certificate scandal: NBA, CACOL call for Oduah’s removal
Ms. Stella Oduah
Chairman, Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Onyekachi Ubani, and the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, said on Wednesday that Ms Stella Oduah, who is embroiled in a fresh certificate scandal, was no longer fit as the nation’s Minister of Aviation.
CACOL’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran, said in a telephone interview that the scandal was a proof that Oduah was engrossed in primitive accumulation.
An online news media, Sahara Reporters had reported that claim in Oduah’s profile on the Federal Ministry of Aviation’s website that she obtained a Master’s degree in Business Administration from St. Paul’s College in Lawrenceville, Virginia in 1982, had been found to be false.
Authorities at the Saint Paul’s College, Virginia, United States, have said that they are unable to confirm if indeed Oduah, bagged a first degree in Accounting from the institution.
The President of the institution, Pete Stith, confirmed to one of our correspondents on the telephone on Tuesday that the college had not at any time offered any graduate programme of any kind.
Stith said the school had stopped all academic programmes mid last year, adding that the campus would be shut down in 30 days’ time.
He said the private college founded in 1888 was closing down due to “financial reasons.”
“No, we do not have any graduate programmes at all,” Stith said.
When asked to ascertain if Oduah holds a Bachelor’s degree of the college he said, “I can’t validate anything like that because I just came to close the school down. I’m here to close the campus down; we are closing the school in 30 days. Academic programmes have since stopped.”
Since the news broke that she did not obtain a MBA degree from the college, several attempts had been made to edit her resume and profile on different online platforms.
On Wikipedia for instance, her page was edited 19 times between 1.56pm and 5:05pm on Tuesday. Previous calls for her removal when the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority allegedly bought two bulletproof cars for her at N255m had been ignored by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ubani said on Wednesday that with the latest scandal there should be no reason to retain the woman as a minister.
He said, “It is becoming very embarrassing. When the news broke out, I was concerned about whether thorough investigation was done before the story was published. But when by the second day the woman started deleting the records online, I knew something was in the offing.
“This was the same woman who broke extant laws in buying bulletproof cars far above the allowed limits, I think something has to be done now. It is even the right time for the woman to speak out.
“If such a person that lies about her certificate can spend additional second in office, it shows how badly we have descended as a nation.”
On his part, Adeniran said, “It is an eye opener to the fact that the woman is engrossed in primitive accumulation. If she had been properly educated she would not have engaged in prebendal politics with which she curried the favour of President Jonathan.
At least 15 people lost their lives in Lagos on Tuesday night when a tanker laden with 33,000 litres of petrol lost control and rammed into vehicles at Kirikiri, Lagos.
Our correspondents learnt that the tanker spilt all its content, thereby causing the fire that burnt a branch of Sterling Bank at Berger Suya Bus Stop, one Automated Teller Machine, 11 vehicles and 60 shops.
Most of the dead were said to be passengers of a commercial bus (danfo) that was behind the tanker when it fell and exploded.
An eyewitness claimed that the fire caused by the explosion spread to Suya spots in the area and burnt parked vehicles . He added that the body of the tanker driver was glued to his seat for over 40 minutes before rescue officials removed it.
A commercial bus driver, Murhi Lawal, who spoke to journalists while weeping profusely, said his bus was completely consumed by the fire.
He said, “Around 10pm on Tuesday, my bus developed a fault so I parked it in front of the Sterling Bank branch. However, the guards on duty said I should move the bus elsewhere so I decided to park on the other side of the road so that I could buy a fan belt.
“As I was attempting to install the belt, I saw the big truck speeding and it rammed into two vehicles before falling on its side and spilling all its content.
“I subsequently heard an explosion and then fire ensued. Before I could save my bus, the fire spread and consumed it.”
Some residents of the area told our correspondent that immediately the accident occurred, 15 people, mostly passengers of a commercial bus, lost their lives.
They said that Capital Oil, Julius Berger and Swift Oil deployed water trucks to put out the flames.
It was learnt that as they fought the fire, it continued to spread to other streets.
A shop owner, Collins Okafor, who claimed to be part of the rescuers, said he counted 13 bodies, excluding those of the tanker driver and his assistant.
He said, “Immediately after the explosion, we came together and started fighting the fire. We tried to save people but about 13 bodies littered the place. The tanker driver and his assistant were also burnt to death.
“One policeman was severely burnt by the fire but we were able to save him. We then proceeded to Sterling Bank and forced the gate open. The security guard had collapsed but we brought him out and he was taken to a nearby hospital.”
One of our correspondents, who entered the premises of the bank, observed that its heavy duty generator was completely burnt.
The banking hall was also burnt while computers and other equipment were said to have been stolen by hoodlums during the rescue operation.
The President, Berger Business Community, Mr. Okey Udeagba, said about five injured traders were rushed to hospitals.
Udeagba said the market had been closed due to the fire, adding that traders alone lost at least N100m due to the incident.
He said, “We did not lose any member to the fire but five people were injured and are recuperating in different hospitals. Most of those killed were passengers and bystanders. However, we lost over N100m to the fire.
“One of our members, Jones, lost all his goods which were stored in a truck while his shops were also burnt. He is probably the biggest victim financially speaking.”
He urged the state government to indemnify the victims and also avoid demolishing the shops.
When one of our correspondents approached Jones for comment, he said he was too distraught to speak on the issue.
Another victim, Okechukwu Mmadu, said he lost 12 heavy duty engines worth N8m to the fire.
He said, “When the accident happened, the truck spilled petrol into the gutters, leading to our shops. When the fire started, it spread to our shops through the gutters. I immediately fled but luckily not all my goods were burnt,” he said.
Policemen, officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps were seen controlling the crowd at the scene.
The spokesman, National Emergency Management Agency, South-West Zone, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the fire was put out around 1am on Wednesday.
Farinloye said, “Fifteen bodies were recovered by NEMA and the police. The fire was put out by a combined team of federal and state fire services. The fire lasted for about three hours. Many vehicles and 60 shops were affected.”
The Baale of Ibafon, Kayode Okunlola, said there was a need for the Federal Government to curb the excesses of truck drivers, especially in the area.
The General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr. Femi Oke-Osayintolu, said the injured victims were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja and Gbagada General Hospital, Gbagada.
Oke-Osayintolu said a soil test would be conducted to ascertain the strength of the affected buildings after which the area would be fumigated.
The PUNCH gathered that three injured victims were admitted into the Gbagada General Hospital, while others were referred to other general hospitals in the state.
Two of the victims at the hospital in Gbagada are 23-year- old Suraju Adeniyi, who suffered 80 per cent burns and 45- year- old, Moses Adebayo, who suffered 40 per cent burns.
Another victim, 70-year-old Mrs. Rose Idowu, was said to have been rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, where medical personnel battled to save her life but she passed on within an hour due to the severity of the burns sufered

Weird Story Of A Pregnant Lady Who Shocked The Gynecologists
The gynecologists there,after conducting all the necessary examinations on the pregnant lady,have finally declared that everything is fine with the growth of fetus in her body..
And it was at that point of time..
The pregnant lady shocked all the gynecologists there,when she asked them ,”..Will you please help me understand who among these two men in my life is the actual father of the child growing in me..??..”..
Since no gynecologist in this world is trained to face such an embarrassing question,all the gynecologists there remained speechless,for a moment,with weird expressions on their faces..
However,the senior most gynecologist among them could muster some courage and asked the lady what the matter is..
And this is what the pregnant lady has said in her reply…
“..Am Beena from Delhi currently working as a software engineer in a global firm located in the Electronic city of Bengaluru..Am married to Prateik in 2003 but could not conceive despite eight years of my married life with him..I have then applied for a divorce,a couple of years ago,and the honorable court too was considerate enough to grant me divorce in a quick course of time..”
“..After the divorce,I have fallen in love with Roshan,a senior colleague of mine in my office and ever since was having a steady and sustained relationship with him..”
“..Although I have been granted divorce by the court,am still courting relationship with my ex husband and living along with him in the same flat where we used to live earlier prior to our divorce…”
“..Now that am pregnant am really eager to know who among these two men in my life is responsible for the pregnancy and who would be the biological father of my child..Based on your DNA reports,Doctor,me and my child will lead the rest of our life with that man…Please help me and my child”..
Although the gynecologists kept looking at each other for a long time – after the lady in front of them completed her weird story – they finally came out of the shock and collected the blood samples of the two men and the lady and have sent them to their lab for DNA tests..
Reports are now awaited..
Please click here to view the original news about this story that appeared in the Telugu language news paper SAAKSHI on the 24th of August,2013..
But the twist in this whole story is – irrespective of whoever is finally declared father of the child by the DNA tests,the two men in Beena’s life are eager to spend the rest of their life with Beena alone..But what is so special about this lady called BEENA..??
CONCLUSION : After a week,the Bengaluru Maternity hospital authorities have released,to the press,the results of the DNA tests conducted on the pregnant lady and her two wise men ..
But the results,unfortunately for the husband,confirm that the pregnant lady’s second love -her colleague – is the Father of the unborn child…The lady has now decided to lead the rest of her life with her colleague and disown her husband..
May God bless the poor husband..
