terrorists, rescue 195 persons
The MNTJF was originally set up in 1994 as a
mainly Nigerian unit, tasked with combating
banditry along the country’s borders, however in
2012 the force’s role was expanded to tackle the
growing problem of Islamist terrorism led by Boko
Haram.
Aside from Nigeria and Chad, soldiers from Benin,
Cameroon and Niger fight in the unit, comprising a
total of up to 10,000 soldiers.

police outslaught against cultists claim octogenarian's life

Policemen

Police operation to contain cultists yesterday
allegedly claimed the life of an 83-year-old man in
Mgbuoshimiri community, Obio/Akpor local
government council of Rivers State.
President-General of Mgbuoshimiri Community
Council, Ohazurume Chukwu, who spoke to
journalists, said the man fell down, when the Police
invaded the venue where leaders and elders of the
community were holding a peace meeting.
However, the State Police Command has said that
normalcy has returned to Ogba/Ogbema/Ndoni
local government council after the cult clashes
there which claimed over 20 lives last week.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmad
Muhammad, disclosed that massive police
personnel were deployed immediately to the area
to maintain order warning those engaged in
cultism to desist from their nefarious acts as the
command would not hesitate to arrest and
prosecute anyone found engaging in cult related
activities.
While confirming the incident at Mgbuoshimiri
community Muhammad said the matter was still
being investigated.
President-General of the Community, Chukwu,
disclosed that the Police were shooting into the air
at the venue of their meeting adding that the police
were apparently misinformed by some members of
the community that cultists were gathering there.
What happened was that, this morning, we were in
a meeting, when one Mini, Benson and Anele
(surnames withheld), came with some policemen,
to invade the venue of our meeting. And when we
tried to find out what the reasons are, the
policemen told us that these persons that I
mentioned told them that it was cult members that
were meeting.
And we told them that they can see it was
community that is meeting; and they insisted
because they have been induced. So, they insisted
that they have to arrest some persons; we said no;
whatever tis the problem that they should tell us.
So, in the cause of doing that, the policemen
started shooting at the instruction of the three
persons. They started shooting to the point that
the oldest man in the community, Elder Acho
Maxwell Chukwu; fell down and died as a result of
their shooting”, he narrated.
He called on the state Commissioner of Police,
Musa Kimo, to investigate the persons, who raised
the alarm and bring them to justice stressing that
“the problem is, some few greedy persons want to
eat the commonwealth of the community alone.”
They are the people that instigated the confusion;
and this problem has been for a while. The
agencies that are saddled with the responsibility of
bringing justice, when such a thing is done, should
swing into action and make sure that these three
persons pay for what they have done today. That
is the only way peace can come.
“I am calling for their arrest; I am calling for their
prosecution because they have committed murder.
These three persons have committed murdered.
They have killed a man of 83 years. They killed
him and they must be brought to justice”, he
stated.
It was however gathered that angry youths went on
rampage destroying property of those who were
alleged to have raised the false alarm

Pope francis arrives in US for his first ever visit

© FRANCE 24 screen grab | Pope Francis arrives at
the Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington
D.C. for his first-ever visit to the US on September
22, 2015




Pope Francis arrived in the United States on
Tuesday for his first visit – a historic six-day trip
to the spiritual home of capitalism after his tour of
communist-ruled Cuba.
The 78-year-old Argentine pontiff stepped onto US
soil for the first time at Andrews Air Force Base
outside Washington, where he was greeted by US
President Barack Obama and his family, as well as
Vice President Joe Biden.
US Catholic leaders and a select crowd of several
hundred well-wishers were on hand to greet the
pope, who wore his traditional papal whites and
waved to the cheering crowd.
A small group of children from Catholic schools in
the Washington area were brought forward to
welcome the pontiff.
Obama will host the Jesuit pope at the White
House on Wednesday. Francis will make two key
speeches during his visit, addressing the US
Congress on Thursday and the United Nations on
Friday.
On the plane from Cuba to the United States, the
pope told reporters that he would not specifically
raise Washington's embargo on Havana in his
speech before American lawmakers, but expressed
his opposition to it.
"The Holy See is against this embargo, but it is
against all embargos," he said.
Topics will include critiques of the dominance of
finance and technology; a condemnation of world
powers over the conflicts gripping the planet;
appeals to protect and welcome immigrants; and
climate change, according to Vatican sources.
The visit will take place under tight security, with
US authorities on top alert to handle the
complexities of protecting a pope who insists on
traveling in an open vehicle to be closer to the
masses.
Authorities are facing a particular security
headache in New York, where Francis plans to
criss-cross Manhattan at a time when 170 world
leaders will be in town for the UN General
Assembly.
He will preside over an inter-faith ceremony at
Ground Zero, visit a Harlem Catholic school and
greet crowds on a procession through Central
Park.
He will wrap up his trip Saturday and Sunday in
Philadelphia at an international festival of Catholic
families.
Anti-American pope?
The pope arrived from Cuba, where he visited three
cities in four days, said three masses before
adoring crowds and met President Raul Castro and
his big brother Fidel, the men who have ruled the
communist island since its 1959 revolution.
The pontiff, the first from Latin America, played a
key role in brokering the recent rapprochement
between Washington and Havana, which resulted in
the restoration of diplomatic ties in July after more
than half a century.
In the United States, he will find an American
public that widely respects him, but has a less
favorable view of the Catholic Church.
While 81 percent of Catholics have a positive view
of the Church, only fifty-five percent of Americans
as a whole do, according to a new poll conducted
by The Washington Post and ABC News earlier this
month.
But for some critics, the dominant themes of his
papacy – his critique of consumerism, calls to
embrace poverty and condemnation of a
"throwaway culture" – sound suspiciously like an
indictment of the American way of life.
That was underlined ahead of his trip when
Republican Congressman Paul Gosar, who is
Catholic, declared he would boycott the pontiff's
historic address to Congress to protest his "leftist"
views.
The pope has been active in urging compassion,
including for those historically shunned by the
Church, and for calling for action against economic
inequality and environmental degradation.
Americans in general approve of those efforts, with
54 percent wanting him to "continue as he has
been" and another 23 percent urging him to be
even more active.
'Build bridges'
During his Cuba visit, Francis discreetly refrained
from chastising the communist regime for its
crackdowns on dissidents and curbs on civil
liberties.
Before leaving the island on Tuesday, Francis said
mass in Cuba's second city Santiago, cradle of the
Castros' uprising against dictator Fulgencio Batista,
calling for a new kind of "revolution."
Speaking at a basilica to Our Lady of Charity of El
Cobre, Cuba's patron saint – a mixed-race Mary
that symbolizes the island's intertwined Spanish
and African roots – he praised her as the
embodiment of a "revolution of tenderness."
He urged Cubans to follow her example "to build
bridges, to break down walls, to sow seeds of
reconciliation," in comments that appeared to
allude to the nascent reconciliation across the
Florida Straits.
Francis then addressed an audience of families,
asking for their prayers as he prepares for a synod
on the family next month that has unleashed
internal conflicts among the Roman Catholic clergy
over sensitive issues such as divorce,
homosexuality and unmarried couples.

Several dead as severe floods hit Sierra Leone capital

At least seven people have died with hundreds

made homeless as swathes of Sierra Leone’s capital

were submerged by massive flooding after hours of

torrential rain, emergency management officials said

Thursday.

Residents described how waters destroyed their

homes, swept away household goods and damaged

vehicles as Freetown, an overcrowded city of 1.2

million, was pounded overnight.

“The seven corpses were brought in intermittently

overnight but we know that more will come,”

Amara Kamara, a mortuary attendant at the city’s

main Connaught Hospital, told AFP.

“The corpses include two kids aged three-and-a-

half and four, as well as a 10-year-old girl.”

It rains six months of the year in Freetown, one of

the world’s wettest cities, and putrid water from its

populated slopes inundate its coastal slums every

summer bringing cholera, dysentery and

respiratory infections.

At least 20 neighbourhoods were flooded by the

five-hour storm, according to a statement from the

presidency, which said torrential monsoon rain

was expected to continue for at least six days.

Police and soldiers were deployed to the worst-hit

areas to maintain law and order, it said, while

residents were being urged to stay at home.

A doctor told AFP rainwater had inundated six

wards in the Connaught, the country’s largest

hospital, forcing patients to be moved to makeshift

treatment areas.

“We were able to contain the situation as we

admitted over 100 people for abrasions, shock and

hypothermia, while about 40 were treated and

discharged,” a separate medical source told AFP.

Mohamed Sillah, a worker at the Brookfields

National Stadium, said over 600 people had sought

refuge by 7:30 am (0730 GMT).

The 45,000-capacity Brookfields, home to the

national football team, is one of two Freetown

sports grounds where emergency services were

telling people to seek refuge.

Sillah said emergency workers were distributing

drinks, bread and foam mattresses with women

and children being prioritised.

A thunder strike removed a filling station fuel tank that was buried under the ground.

The tank that was removed by the thunder


Around 4am on Tuesday morning 15/09/2015,a thunder stroke heavily in ugbokolo,one of Benue state L.G.A.

The sound of the thunder strike was so loud that it woke so many people living in the ugbokolo,though they all went to sleep because they taught it was just a normal thunder strike. 
Around 7am that same morning news of the thunder strike was everywhere in the village but trust me,it wasn't just the thunder strike people in the village were talking about but the strange and unbelievable thing it caused: The thunder strike removed a filling station fuel tank buried inside the ground,strange isn't? I didn't believe it when they told me so I decided to visit the scene and see for myself cause seen is believing.


my doubt about the incident was quickly cleared when I visited the scene,really it's strange and so true.people that know the owner of the filling station very well said that it was his business rival that sent the thunder to remove and destroy the buried petrol tank,luckily for the owner of the filling station,the thunder didn't cause any serious damage to the tank or any property of the filling station exception of removing the tank from the ground. Right now some hole diggers are constructing the place so that they can bury it inorder for the filling station to start functioning again.

California declares state of emergency as wildfires rage

PHOTO: getty

A state of emergency has been declared as raging wildfires spread in the northern part of drought-ridden California, possibly killing one person and forcing thousands to flee the flames.
More than 5,500 firefighters are struggling to contain the monster blazes that have charred more than 100,000 acres (40,470 hectares), authorities said, destroying hundreds of homes and commercial structures.

“There is a report of a fatality on the #ValleyFire,” CAL FIRE spokesman Daniel Berlant said on Twitter, adding that the information was being confirmed with the sheriff’s office.

Four firefighters suffered second-degree burns while battling the blaze, and are being treated in hospital.

Eight major fires are currently burning but two — the Valley Fire about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of the state capital Sacramento and the Butte Fire about 100 miles to the east — have been particularly damaging over the last week, with little let-up in sight.

Driven by dry conditions, high winds and soaring temperatures, the Butte Fire has burned 65,300 acres and was just 25 percent contained, while the Valley Fire had grown to 50,000 acres and was zero percent contained, state fire agency CAL FIRE said late Sunday.

The Valley Fire has destroyed about 400 homes and other structures and the Butte Fire some 135 homes, 79 outbuildings and four other structures.


They have also destroyed or forced the closure of highways.

“My heart goes out to all those who lost homes and businesses in the devastating fires in California,” Senator Barbara Boxer said in a tweet.

“Praying for the safety of all.”

Governor Jerry Brown issued an emergency proclamation for Lake and Napa counties — wine-producing regions north of San Francisco — due to the massive Valley Fire. Schools in the counties were scheduled to be closed Monday.

About 6,400 homes are still threatened by these monster fires, according to Berlant, though some evacuation orders linked to the Butte fire have been lifted.

Three other fires are scorching the earth in neighboring Oregon state and 10 further north in Washington state.

Nearly 70 firefighters from Australia and New Zealand are assisting fire services in the western United States.

– Costs soar, air quality drops –

A record drought that began four years ago is worsening the situation.

Berlant said that CAL FIRE has so far spent more than $212 million since July 1 to fight fires under its jurisdiction and that approximately 5,000 firefighters were currently assigned to major blazes.

The costs of containing other fires, such as those blazing in Sierra Nevada forests, are largely covered by federal agencies and not included in those figures.

The US Forest Service has spent an additional $1.31 billion battling fires and says it is approaching its record expenditure, from 2002, of $1.65 billion.

Brown’s state of emergency will release additional funds to cover the costs of the firefighting efforts.

National Guard troops have also been called in to help.

After a briefing on the Butte blaze, the governor’s emergency services chief said this summer’s fires were the most volatile he had ever seen.

“The fires are spreading faster than I have seen in my 30 years,” Mark Ghilarducci was quoted as saying by The Sacramento Bee newspaper.

Meanwhile, the state’s air quality has also taken a hit from the fires.

“As a result of the Valley Fire, combined with the drought conditions and other wildfires burning in the state, California’s air quality has significantly deteriorated,” the governor said in his emergency declaration.

800 Nigerians killed during the 100 days of Buhari's presidency-Report

Buharimeter, a platform monitoring the
implementation of the electoral promises of
President Muhammadu Buhari, has reported that
about 800 Nigerians were murdered by the
extremist Boko Haram sect within the first 100
days of Mr. Buhari’s presidency.
The revelation is contained in a report issued by
the monitoring platform to mark Mr. Buhari’s
stewardship in his first 100 days in office.
The report said Mr. Buhari, in keeping with his
campaign promise, prioritized the fight against
Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria.
It said despite the president’s best efforts, there
had been several attacks by the extremist group,
leaving deaths, blood and sorrow in their wake.
“However, in the last 100 days, there have been
over 30 successful attacks and bomb explosions
which claimed the lives of over 800 people and
caused the destruction of properties worth millions
of naira,” the report said.
The platform however praised the President for
revving up the war against the terrorists.
“Right from his inaugural speech, PMB (President
Muhammadu Buhari) ordered the immediate
relocation of the Military Command and Control
Centre (MCCC), from Abuja to Maiduguri, Borno
state,” the report said.
“Since then, the administration has rejigged the
Nigerian counter terrorism architecture with
interventions ranging from the forging of regional
and international alliances to the appointment of
new security chiefs with a marching order to end
the insurgency within three months to improved
security spending,” it said.
The report also said the new administration
boosted the morale and welfare of security agents
as soon as it came into office.
It said within 100 days, the Nigerian Army
reinstated 3,032 officers and military personnel
convicted by a General Court Martial for offences
committed while fighting the insurgents.
The government, it added, also offered
scholarships to the children of slain officers and
monetary compensation to their families.
“More so, apart from the immediate release of
N5billion to bomb victims upon the directive from
the President, Nigeria has received financial and
technical supports from countries like China, Israel,
USA, Switzerland, etc., and from the United Nations
(UN) as well, to improve the victims’ economic
and social conditions.
“The recent recapturing of the towns of Dikwa and
Gamboru Ngala from the insurgents, reports of
unsuccessful Boko Haram attacks, and the rescue
of some kidnapped persons from the den of the
insurgents by the Nigerian Military are positive
signals towards ending the insurgency.
Regarding the fight against corruption, Buharimeter
rated four of the 13 promises made by the
president as ongoing.
It said immediately after inauguration, the
President and his deputy opted for a 50 per cent
percent pay cut as part of their commitment
towards reducing the cost of governance.
The report also noted that “In its bid to block
leakages, the administration established a single
treasury account for all federal revenues.
“To institutionalise accountability within the
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), the
President gave directives that civil servants must
henceforth respond to the auditor’s queries within
24 hours; and all pending queries must be
responded to within 30 days.
“To strengthen his fight against corruption, a
seven-member Presidential Advisory Committee
against Corruption headed by Professor Itse Sagay
(SAN) was constituted to advice the administration
on the prosecution of its anti-corruption war.”
The report added that the anti-corruption bodies,
notably the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, and the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission, have in the past 100 days
embarked on a renewed fight against corruption.
It said several foreign nations also committed to
helping Nigeria locate and retrieve stolen assets,
while the federal government appointed
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and KPMG to
conduct forensic audits into the accounts of all
revenue-generating agencies of the government.
Buharimeter lamented the attempts to distance Mr.
Buhari from several of his campaign promises.
It recalled that the president’s spokesperson, Femi
Adesina, tried to argue that the president never
promised to make public his assets and liabilities,
but that it was his party, the APC, that made the
commitment.
“His assertion generated a lot of public backlash,”
the report said.
The report, however, added that, the president and
his vice eventually provided details of their
declared assets and liabilities via a press
statement by another presidential spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, on the 98th day of the
administration.
Buharimeter also assessed the president’s
performance in infrastructure, oil and gas,
agriculture, environment, Niger Delta affairs,
employment and foreign policy.
Following its findings, Buharimeter made some
recommendations to the President.
— That he must constitute a cabinet to assist him
in his responsibility for the smooth and effective
running of the government on a day-to-day basis
within the coming weeks.
— That the government immediately unveil its
policy directions.
— That the President should urgently articulate a
“Marshal Plan” to address security challenges
posed by terrorism, ethno-religious violence, rural
banditry, kidnapping, amongst others.
— That the President should direct his efforts to
implementing policies and programmes for
employment generation.
— That efforts should be directed to the education
sector, particularly in the areas of capacity building
for unemployed youth, through vocational training.
— That the President take urgent steps to
implement the other 197 unrated promises.

[UPDATED] Seven die in Lagos fire incident

No fewer than seven people have died in a fire incident in Obele Lawanson Community, Surulere area of Lagos State.

The PUNCH learnt that only a six-year-old girl survived the fire accident.

She was said to have been rushed to the emergency ward of the Gbagada General Hospital, while the the remains of the other victims were deposited in a morgue.

The Director of the Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe, said the agency could not tell why the casualty figure was high, as the fire only affected some parts of the house.

Fadipe, who said the state’s fire service responded to 12 fire disasters over the night, explained that there was need for increased vigilance among residents.

“We are still at a loss over why the casualty was that high because the fire itself was not that severe. The kitchen was not affected, so nobody can explain why it was that serious. The survivor was rescued from the bathroom,” he said.

'My 95-yr-old grand mother begged me for sex'- 32-yr-old man

A man who raped his grand mother has now been arrested and charged.

A 32 year-old Zimbabwe man accused and charged with raping his 95-year-old grandmother, left the court presided by speechless when he confessed that it was the aged woman who actually proposed love for him and begged him for sex.

The man from a village called Mbizha in Jambezi, told the Hwange regional magistrate Dambudzo Malunga:

"Your worship, I did not rape my grandmother but she asked me to have sexual intercourse with her after proposing love to me saying that she had been alone for a long time following the death of my grandfather.

When I refused, she literally begged me, saying she felt she could still perform like a young woman regardless of her age. I was left with no choice but to help her out seeing that she really wanted sex."

The court had heard that the man had, between June 1 and July 5, went to his grandmother's hut in the dead of night and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her while she was sleeping.

After the act, he fled the scene and in the morning, the grandmother informed her younger sister of the rape but did not reveal the identity of the perpetrator.

Sometime during the same month, the grandson raped the old woman again but this time around, she yelled for help, resulting in her grandson fleeing into the darkness.

Not yet done, he pounced again at around midnight at another date but this time, dragged his grandmother into a nearby bush where he stripped her naked and raped her. He threatened to kill her if she told anyone of the rape before leaving her to spend the whole night in the bush.

When villagers found her the next morning, she lied that she had got lost fearing that if she revealed what had transpired her grandson would fulfill his threats.

His cup became full when he became bold and told his grandmother he would be coming to have sex with her again  and the woman immediately sought refuge at her sister's house after he had left, telling the sister she was avoiding someone who was troubling her.

The sister had to involve the village head who cajoled her to divulge the identity of the rapist and he was apprehended and handed over to the police.

City Of Sex Where Men Have More Than Three Women

There is one city on our planet that defies the universal dogma of monogamy, which tends to be the cornerstone of our modern society, with so many women living there that most men have two or three girlfriends.

Dongguan, in south China’s Guangdong province, is not only popular for producing electronics, including iPhones and iPads, but it is also known as the Chinese ‘capital of sex’.

Mirrior UK reports that the city came to attain its status due to a certain child policy which operated in China for many years, when the country had a massive gender imbalance with millions more women than men.

Then, local factories which run assembly plants had a bias for hiring men, as they find them unreliable. Instead, they have been offering jobs mainly to women

This made more men taking odd jobs and casual work, thereby leaving them with plenty of time on their hands, which in turn makes room for more than one girlfriend.

Most men within this Chinese ‘sex-city’, admit they have two or three permanent girlfriends at the same time, and it is not a problem even between the women.

 “It is a lot easier here to find a girlfriend than a job,” one man told a local TV.

The few men who do have jobs at the factories are in a better position as regards finding girlfriends, because they spend longer hours at work on the production lines with the women.

Girls do not mind being number two,even number three




There is one city on our planet that defies the universal dogma of monogamy, which tends to be the cornerstone of our modern society, with so many women living there that most men have two or three girlfriends.


Most of the men in this city have two or three girlfriends!
Dongguan, in south China’s Guangdong province, is not only popular for producing electronics, including iPhones and iPads, but it is also known as the Chinese ‘capital of sex’.

Mirrior UK reports that the city came to attain its status due to a certain child policy which operated in China for many years, when the country had a massive gender imbalance with millions more women than men.

Then, local factories which run assembly plants had a bias for hiring men, as they find them unreliable. Instead, they have been offering jobs mainly to women.


This made more men taking odd jobs and casual work, thereby leaving them with plenty of time on their hands, which in turn makes room for more than one girlfriend.

Most men within this Chinese ‘sex-city’, admit they have two or three permanent girlfriends at the same time, and it is not a problem even between the women.

 “It is a lot easier here to find a girlfriend than a job,” one man told a local TV.

The few men who do have jobs at the factories are in a better position as regards finding girlfriends, because they spend longer hours at work on the production lines with the women.


Girls do not mind being number two, or even number three
This means that for the male residents of Dongguan, the best place to find love, is within the company.

The gender disproportion has recently led to this city being branded the ‘capital of sex’ with many women ever willing to involve themselves in relationships with men who they know already have other partners.

A migrant factory worker from south-western Sichuan province, Li Bin, said: “I have three girlfriends, and all of them know about each other. Many of my friends also have many girlfriends.”

“There are so many young and naive female workers in the city. Why not have more than one if we can? Look, everyone is here to have fun; if you don’t do it, others will.”


Li Bin further said that it was a “joke” for a man to only have one female partner.

A 25-year-old native of Sichuan, A Yi, also said he went to Dongguan to find a wife, because the dowry alone in his hometown would cost an equivalent of N960,000.

Yi said: “There are plenty of women in Dongguan, and they don’t want any money. They just want a man.”

Though currently unemployed, Yi said his girlfriend now pays his bills and it is not a problem for them at all.

Girls are ready to pay the bills for their man, in order to maintain their relationships.
The Guangdong Women’s Rights and Information Service, report that the women in Dongguan pretend not to know about other partners, or simply ignore their existence; some of them are even colleagues in the same factory.

The women’s rights group said the ladies “prefer the arrangement as it is better than being lonely.”

Eventually, most of the women in Dongguan will return home to get married. The idea is that their lifestyle in the bustling ‘capital of sex’ is temporary, and simply a necessary evil.

Residents of Kubwa, a satellite town in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, were shocked and scared following the news that a 27-year-old man was found dead in his room in the Pipeline area.

man dies in his room


Neighbours of the deceased revealed that the man, who was identified only as Bello, spent the night with two women. They alleged that the women were prostitutes, and Bello invited them to his room on Sunday night “to have fun”.

The next morning, after the man was not seen outside, the neighbours raised the alarm and forced the door open.

According to reliable sources, Bello had been warned by his friends to desist from such acts, but all advice fell on deaf ear.

Commenting on the tragic incident, Badejo Yekini, the deceased’s landlord, said:

“I think he deserved what he got. He was a chronic womanizer who always derived pleasure in spending a whole night with prostitutes, not caring to know who they really were.

“To avoid such occurrences, men of this generation must learn how to control their libido.”

Meanwhile, a very close friend of the deceased, who pleaded for anonymity, said that he was “saddened” by the development. However, he confessed that the incident did not take him by surprise, adding: “I always warned him, but he would not listen”.

The remains of the deceased were taken to the mortuary at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, by his relatives.
