Step Down From Kanu's Trial, Your Husband Is Fulani - Adeyanju To Justice Nyako
Deji Adeyanju, popular Abuja-based rights activist, on Sunday called on Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court to recuse herself from the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. Adeyanju pointed out that Justice Nyako is not neutral enough to handle Kanu’s trial. The activist explained that the trial judge’s husband is a Fulani man from Adamawa State, and Kanu was used to insulting the tribe, hence she should recuse herself. Kanu is currently standing trial for charges bordering on treason before Justice Nyako. Justice Nyako had in 2017 granted Kanu bail but the IPOB leader had jumped the bail and fled Nigeria. His lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, however, argued that Kanu did not jump bail, stressing that Nigerian government made him flee the country. However, Adeyanju, in a tweet wrote: “I’m of the view that Justice Nyako is not neutral enough to adjudicate on the Nnamdi Kanu case because her husband is a prominent Fulani leader in West Africa and has hosted African Fulani groups in Adamawa severally. “Kanu has consistently insulted & abused Fulanis. I, therefore, think Justice Nyako should recuse herself from the Kanu’s case honourably. “Let me quote the Supreme Court in FRN v. MKO Abiola (1995): Justice must be rooted in confidence & confidence is destroyed when right-minded people go away thinking: The Judge is biased.”

'Prepare Prisons, Build Mortuaries For Us' — IPOB Members Tell Malami
Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have vowed to storm Abuja, the nation’s capital for the trial of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu at the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday. The group also told the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to prepare more cells and mortuaries should he want to detain or kill its members, as they prepare to flood the court to show solidarity with their leader. The group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, disclosed this to SaharaReporters on Sunday while speaking about his expectations regarding Kanu's trial, which is expected to commence on Monday. He, however, cautioned the members of IPOB and Kanu’s supporters to behave appropriately and obey the law. “You should expect Biafrans in Abuja tomorrow and nobody can stop us or prevent us from being in court tomorrow. Nnamdi Kanu is our leader and we cannot afford to abandon him because he did not abandon us. “IPOB members should move to Abuja and those living in Abuja must be there to show solidarity with our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and for Nigeria to know that he is our own. “Malami and his co-conspirators should prepare to kill all of us tomorrow, and every IPOB member must behave well. “This is to show the world that we are coming, (and) for this court to know that we are disciplined and cultured. Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has laid the foundation of IPOB well and we must follow his teachings,” Powerful said. Kanu, the leader of the most popular pro-Biafra group, will continue his trial on Monday at a Federal High Court in Abuja after he fled Nigeria in 2017. He is being prosecuted on allegations bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, illegal possession of arms, among others levelled against him by the Nigerian government. He has been in the detention of the Department of State Services (DSS) since he was abducted in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria, after his brief appearance before Justice Binta Nyako on June 30. According to Powerful, the Nigerian government is inflicting pain on IPOB members through its actions. He, however, vowed that the group will not keep quiet until the world hears and comes to its aid. “We will be there tomorrow. Let Malami clean his prisons and mortuary for our people tomorrow. The world will see them tomorrow. You cannot beat a child and force the child not to cry, that is what they are trying to do to us and we must cry until the world hears us. Nnamdi Kanu remains our leader, no other person,” Powerful added.

South Korean Toilet Turns Faeces Into Power And Digital Currency (Photos)
Using the bathroom could pay for your coffee at a university in South Korea, where human waste is being used to help power a science building. Cho Jae-weon, an urban and environmental engineering professor at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in southeast Korea, has designed an eco-friendly toilet connected to a laboratory that uses excrement to produce biogas and manure. The BeeVi toilet — a portmanteau of the words 'bee' and 'vision' — uses a vacuum pump to send feces into an underground tank, reducing water use. Once there, microorganisms break down the waste into methane, which becomes a source of energy for the building. The gas powers a stove, hot-water boiler and solid oxide fuel cell. 'If we think out of the box, feces has precious value to make energy and manure,' said Cho. 'I have put this value into ecological circulation.' The average adult defecates about 17 ounces a day, which can be converted to 13 gallons of methane, according to Cho. That's enough energy to generate 0.5kWh of electricity, enough to charge your phone for an hour every day for a month or drive a car for about three-quarters of a mile. Cho isn't just relying on altruism or environmental conscientiousness to get people to use his eco-toilet, either: He's devised a virtual currency, Ggool, ('honey' in Korean) and pays users, mostly students, 10 Ggool a day to hit the can. The currency can be used to buy goods on campus—like freshly brewed coffee, instant noodles, fruit and even books. The students can pick up the products they want at a special Ggool market and scan a QR code to pay for their goods. 'I had only ever thought that feces is dirty, but now it is a treasure of great value to me,' Heo Hui-jin, a postgraduate student at the university, said in the Ggool market. 'I even talk about feces during mealtimes, to think about buying any book I want.' Not all efforts at creating environmentally friendly toilets have proven successful in the long run: in September, UK conservation group the Waterwise Project says dual-flush toilets, intended to save water is actually wasting billions of gallons every year, far more than they save. Dual-flush toilets are prone to leaks, the group says, and are the leading culprit in the 88 million gallons of water wasted a day. 'Because so many dual-flush toilets flow continuously, that water loss is now exceeding the amount of water they should be saving nationally,' Andrew Tucker, water efficiency manager at Thames Water, told the BBC. Popularized in the West in the 1980s, the two-button toilets were seen as environmentally friendly because they give patrons a choice of how much water to use: one button releases a full 1.6-gallons for solid waste, while the other just half of that for urine. But Thames Water found as many of half of its customers used the wrong button—or pressed both simultaneously. Source:

WhatsApp Backup Encryption Currently Being Tested For Users
Just a few days ago, WhatsApp enabled a Multi-device feature for some beta users, expecting to roll out to others… But today, WhatsApp is currently testing backup encryption. It is no longer news that all messages sent through WhatsApp are encrypted, and now the company wants to extend encryption to your backup. Backups of your chat histories saved to iCloud or Google Drive aren’t encrypted at the moment. Yet this is about to change very soon. A few days ago, the company rolled out the feature to beta testers of the messaging app. For a short while, it allowed users of the beta to lock their backed-up communications as well as shared media securely behind a password. The password is entirely private and not shared with any of the services that it passes through, be it WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, or Apple. You can also use a 64-digit encryption key instead of a password if you want, though you’ll never be able to restore your chats if you lose it. The encryption key can only contain numeric digits and lowercase letters between ‘a’ and ‘f’. If you lose this key, WhatsApp cannot help you to recover it. At the moment, WhatsApp has rolled out another update that has removed the encryption feature in order to take care of connection issues in the cloud backups. We are expecting the rollout of the feature in a subsequent update.

Bitcoin Crashing: Is The Crypto Dip Here to Stay?
The cryptocurrency market has been witnessing widespread turbulence since Wednesday’s May 19 and the plunge has sent all cryptos into the deep blue sea, and this has made investors nervous. The crash has triggered heavy selling in the cryptocurrency market as investors look to offload their holdings and minimize losses amid the ongoing uncertainty. At the same time, some people have expressed a desire to “buy the dip”, hoping for a rebound in the near future. Experts think if bitcoin breaks through the current support and falls below $30k, we might experience even more dip. And while bitcoin is known to thrive while fiat fails, this past week, despite a fall in the US equity market and an increase in inflation, bitcoin still dipped. Most analysts have said that it is not a good time to invest in cryptocurrencies, considering the high volatility that has battered valuations at the moment. However, some analysts think it may not be a bad idea to buy the dip. Last Thursday, Twitter and Square CEO and a great believer in bitcoin, Jack Dorsey, announced that Square, Inc. is creating a new business that will focus on bitcoin. While too much information was given, Jack mentioned that the sole goal of the new business would be “making it easy to create non-custodial, permissionless, and decentralized financial services”. We love to see it! Should You Buy The Dip? It depends totally on whether you are ready to take the risk. In case you are looking for a safe, long-term investment option, cryptocurrency may not be your preferred choice of investment, given the high volatility and risk factor. But if you have an appetite for risk and have the financial backing to invest in cryptocurrencies, it could be right up your alley. The returns will be much higher than traditional investments if you stay on top of daily trends, but you should also be ready for frequent bouts of extreme volatility.

Former WhatsApp Employees Created Private Relationship App
Two former WhatsApp employees have announced a private, ad-free social network called HalloApp, and the app bills itself as the “first real relationship network”. HalloApp is the brainchild of the earliest employees behind WhatsApp Neeraj Arora and Michael Donohue, who both worked at WhatsApp before and after Facebook acquired the messaging platform. According to theVerge, Arora was WhatsApp’s chief business officer until 2018 and a key figure in negotiating the Facebook deal. And Donohue was WhatsApp’s engineering director for nearly nine years before he left Facebook in 2019. HalloApp is a new category of an app – a digital space for people who you actually know and want to connect with. You use your phone number to connect with friends, family, and colleagues you’re already connected to through your address book. There are many similarities between HalloApp and WhatsApp: the app is designed for group or individual chats with close friends and family, the only way you can find people is by knowing their phone number, the messages are encrypted, and there are no ads. The app is broken into four tabs, featuring four tabs at the bottom (home, groups, chats, settings), a shortcut to add a new post or images, and two icons at the top (one to invite contacts to the app and one for an activity/notification menu). Announcing the launch on Twitter, he said – “Our vision at HalloApp is to build a simple, safe, private place for people to connect and share what matters — with the people who matter most.” On @HalloApp, you can. The first Real-Relationship Network. • No ads, bots, likes, followers, etc. • End-to-end encrypted chats – no one can read them (not even us). Now you can be yourself online. %7C*IMAGE_URL*%7C?format=jpg&name=small The firm says it doesn’t capture any “additional data” from your phone book though. In fact, the platform says it doesn’t collect, store, or use any personal information. “More importantly, we will never show you ads. Ever. Instead, we plan to eventually offer additional features at a small cost,” it adds. Where to Download it You can download it from Google Playstore, and Apple AppStore. What do you think about this new app?

Twitter is Testing Upvote, and Downvote Feature
Twitter is currently working on a new feature “Upvote and Downvote” reaction for tweets and replies. This is part of the social network’s latest experimental feature designed to give it more insight into what kind of replies users find relevant in a conversation. Twitter said it was testing the feature for a small group of users on iOS, which is already spotted on multiple tweets for those who are part of the test group. The goal is to be able to gather enough data, so the platform can work on ways to surface more relevant responses. In long threads, for instance, the best replies don’t always show up immediately and might be buried underneath tons of other people’s tweets. Twitter writes that iOS users may see upvote and downvotes in several different styles (up and down arrows, a heart icon and a down arrow, and thumbs up and thumbs down icons) and that it’s testing the feature to “understand the types of replies you find relevant in a convo, so we can work on ways to show more of them.” At the moment, votes won’t change the order of responses similar to how Reddit buries replies that get a ton of downvotes. No word yet if Twitter plans to add upvote and downvote as a permanent feature to the platform. The post Twitter is Testing Upvote, and Downvote Feature appeared first on 9jaonline Creation.

Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, has sent a delegation to Cotonou, Benin Republic, to observe court proceedings in the trial of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho.

The statement said, “Oba Adetunji stated this at his Popoyemoja, Ibadan palace on Sunday while exchanging views with some leaders of thought comprising Yemisi Adeaga, the president general of Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes and his executive members. Also at the meeting was senior chief Lekan Alabi, the Ekefa Olubadan. “Olubadan said it has become necessary in order to allay the fears of several people, including protesters who besiege Olubadan palace every now and then that Kabiesi is not folding his arms over the travails of Igboho. “Igboho lives in Ibadan, got married in Ibadan, rear children in Ibadan, built houses in Ibadan and as such he has the rights to be protected by Ibadan traditional institution within the ambit of the law just like any human being in Ibadan.” Olubadan stated that he is in constant touch with Yoruba prominent royal fathers, including Igboho royal crowns to allay public fears of a repeat performance of Yoruba-Fulani coalition of 1814. The statement added, “Students of Nigeria history may wish to be reminded that when some people, during the period under reference, chose to engage in territorial expansion to the sea, it took the Ibadan army under Balogun Oderinlo to repel the attack and stop the incursion near Osogbo.”

How Sunday Igboho Escaped From Beninese Airport & Was Lured Back Through Calls
More facts emerged on Wednesday about how Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Igboho, initially escaped from security operatives at the airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic, but was lured back to the place through phone calls by one of his travel agents. Already, Igboho’s lawyers, led by Yomi Aliu, SAN, had moved to Benin Republic where they had joined up with Beninese lawyers in readiness for a legal battle to prevent the activist’s extradition to Nigeria. “You know that he has been under watch and he is someone who talks to too many people. These telephone calls were used to trail him and he was intercepted in Cotonou. “He initially escaped from the airport when the security operatives wanted to arrest him. But the travel agent called him back saying the matter had been resolved. But on getting back, he was arrested with his wife. “A lot of people made efforts to resolve the matter but we discovered that the Nigerian Ambassador to Benin Republic (Tukur Buratai) was already aware and he said that he (Igboho) must be extradited,” a source said. Another source noted that Igboho and his wife were detained at the “Benin Republic Criminal Police cell”, adding that “Buratai would have gone to the police station because he was the one that told them to arrest him.” The source noted that the German Embassy was intervening in the matter because Igboho’s wife is a German citizen. He added, however, the Nigerian Government could mount pressure on Benin Republic and extradite Igboho today (Wednesday). “I was told they (Nigerian government officials) are coming today. My prayer is that he should remain in Cotonou or be allowed to go to Germany because I don’t know what would happen to him in Abuja,” the source said.

UAE Creates Rain Using Drone Technology That Gives Cloud Electric Shock
The United Arab Emirates is creating its own rain using drones that fly into clouds and unleash electrical charges to beat the sweltering 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) heat. The rain is formed using drone technology that gives clouds an electric shock to 'cajole them' into clumping together and producing precipitation. The technology uses a drone to release electrical charges into the clouds, which helps the water droplets to merge and stick together to form precipitation, 'like dry hair to a comb'. 'When the drops merge and are big enough, they will fall as rain,' Professor Ambaum said. Alya Al-Mazroui, director of the UAE's rain-enhancement science-research program, told Arab News in March: 'Equipped with a payload of electric-charge emission instruments and customised sensors, these drones will fly at low altitudes and deliver an electric charge to air molecules, which should encourage precipitation.' The plane are armed with an array of salt flares which are fired into a promising clouds to increase condensation and hopefully trigger a downpour. The UAE is one of the most arid countries on Earth and the technique helps to increase its meagre annual rainfall. The oil-rich desert nation ranks among the world's top 10 driest countries. Its annual rainfall stands at 78 millimetres (three inches), 15 times less than an average annual rainfall in the UK. Cloud seeding is seen as being much cheaper than alternative methods of obtaining water by desalination. The UAE is also looking into methods to preserve the rain that does hit the ground, instead of allowing it to quickly evaporate or flow off into the sea. It has built dams and reservoirs to gather the flood. Source:Dailymail

Sunday Igboho Has Been Arrested In Cotonou
Igboho was arrested Monday night after fleeing Nigeria to evade arrest by Nigeria's secret police. BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK. JUL 19, 2021 Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has been arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic by security operatives in the West African country. Igboho was arrested Monday night after fleeing Nigeria to evade arrest by Nigeria's secret police. A source privy to his departure from Nigeria said he had perfected plans to secretly escape from Nigeria through Cotonou and was heading to Germany. He was, however, nabbed by security operatives in the neighboring country. Speaking with SaharaReporters, a source privy to the incident, said, "Sunday Igboho has been arrested in Cotonou. He was arrested about an hour ago. "He was supposed to travel to Germany through Cotonou this night. He wanted to leave Africa through Cotonou. He was arrested by security operatives in Cotonou. "They are planning to bring him back to Nigeria." Recall that the Department of State Services had declared Igboho wanted after its operatives carried out a bloody midnight raid on his residence in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State. DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunnaya, had advised Igboho to turn himself in to the nearest security. “Those cheering and eulogizing him may appeal to or advice him to do the needful,” Afunnaya said. “He should surrender himself to the appropriate authorities. He or anyone can never be above the law." Pelumi Olajengbesi, one of the lawyers representing Igboho and others arrested in his House, told SaharaReporters he had not confirmed the news of Igboho's arrest in Cotonou. "I will contact Yomi Aliu (SAN) to verify the news," he said.

Man Goes Berserk, Stabs Wife, Pastor To Death In Imo (Video, Photos)
A man identified as Obum has allegedly stabbed a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Thompson Thomas Ugochukwu Onyekuru, to death in Imo State, Newspremises reports. The tragic incident happened at Umuokoto town in Umudibia Autonomous community in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state. Newspremises gathered that Obum, who hailed from Obowo in Imo State, stabbed his wife, Ogechi, with a knife during a bitter argument. Obum, who is suspected to be mentally unstable, had allegedly locked his wife and her baby in their room where he stabbed her several times. According to Daily Trust, he accused the wife of trying to kill their only surviving son out of the three children they had since they got married in 2016, claiming she was also responsible for the hardship he was facing. An eyewitness said the incident started around 4 pm when Obum’s wife, Ogechi, and her one-year-old son were heard screaming for help. The late pastor and other neighbours waded in to prevent Obum from killing his wife. "As the crowd intensified effort to rescue the woman, Obum with a knife, threatened to kill anyone who tried to stop his action,” one of the eyewitnesses told the publication. After successfully rescuing the woman from her husband’s grip, Obum became enraged and started chasing everybody with the blood-stained knife. As Onyekuru made to go, Obum stabbed him at the back. A passing police patrol team was called to the scene, but he attacked the policemen who were attempting to arrest him. The police then shot him in the leg in order to subdue him. Obum and Onyekuru were subsequently taken to the hospital where two of them died. Unconfirmed report said Obum's wife also later died. The President-General of Umuokoto Community Council (UCC), Hon. Charles Anozie, who confirmed the incident, said Obum and the pastor were taken to the hospital where they later died.

US detects 1st case of monkeypox “imported” from Nigeria
The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed that a rare case of human monkeypox was detected in Texas on Friday, making it the first case of the virus seen in the state. The viral illness was found in a United States resident who recently travelled from Nigeria to the United States and is currently hospitalised in Dallas. He’s in stable condition, according to the health department’s statement. Apart from Nigeria, outbreaks have also been reported in West and Central African countries since 1970, with a large outbreak in people in the United States in 2003, according to the CDC. Monkeypox, which belongs to the same family of viruses as smallpox, is an uncommon but potentially serious viral illness. It normally begins with flu-like symptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes and gradually develops to widespread rashes on the face and body. Monkeypox can spread from person to person through respiratory droplets. The CDC said since travellers were wearing masks due to COVID-19, the risk of the spread of monkeypox via respiratory droplets to others on aeroplanes and at the airports was low. The patient was infected with the strain most commonly found in parts of West Africa, including Nigeria, CDC added.

Mourinho tells Ozil his girlfriend slept with everyone at Inter, Milan – Perez
Embattled Real Madrid President, Florentino Perez, is in the storm again after he was heard, in one of his audio leaks, saying that Jose Mourinho made Mesut Ozil dump his Italian girlfriend while they were together at Real Madrid. Mourinho tells Ozil his girlfriend slept with everyone at Inter, Milan – Perez The audio recording captured the moment Perez inferred that the model girlfriend of the former Arsenal midfield dynamo was a local bike who has slept with virtually every player and coaching crew in Milan. Series of the audio recordings from 2012 were released by Spanish newspaper, El Confidencial where the Real Madrid president was caught badmouthing some of his old players and coaching staff, including Mourinho. In the latest batch, Perez’s thoughts on former Real star, Mesut Ozil have been revealed. Speaking about Ozil, he said, “[Ozil] came here aged 21. He is third generation Turk and then he discovers Madrid. There was nothing, no Turks, dicks, third generation or girlfriend. “He sent his girlfriend away and changed his lifestyle, falling for an Italian model from Milan. He had a private jet, so he would fly out there, have sex and come back. “Then one day, he annoyed Jose Mourinho, who jokingly said ‘Hey Ozil, idiot, let me tell you something as if I were your father, because this girl you’re going out with has f**ked everyone at Inter and AC Milan, including the coaching staff of both teams.’ [Ozil] ended up leaving her.”

Mr Macaroni donates N500k To family of late Jumoke
Debo Adebayo, the comedian, fondly known as Mr Macaroni, has donated a sum of N500,000 to the family of Jumoke Oyeleke, who was shot dead at the Yoruba Nation rally in Ojota, Lagos. Mr Macaroni, made this known on Saturday via his Twitter page, where he also revealed that he visited the family. Agitators for the Yoruba Nation gathered at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota two weeks ago amid the presence of armed policemen and soldiers. Jumoke, 25, who displayed soft drinks at her boss’ shop located in a compound close to the rally ground when security men chased some agitators into the premises, was hit by a stray bullet and she died on the spot. In a series of tweets, Mr Macaroni wrote, “I visited the family of the late Jumoke Oyeleke; the 25yrs old that was killed during the Yoruba Nation Rally. They need all the support they can get right now. I have donated N500,000 today and I plead with all those who can to kindly support the family.” The comedian then shared a fundraising link for the family, calling on all members of the public to donate. He wrote further, “Also important to note is that Jumoke (the deceased) was the breadwinner of the house. She was a sales attendant at a beverage store and she used the little she made to sustain her mother and 3 siblings. As it is, the family has nothing. “As of the time of my visit, Neither the government nor police force had taken responsibility. The family despite their state of mourning have been told to bear all responsibilities. This is heartbreaking. Very very.” (sic) The comedian also shared a video posted by one Dabira who reportedly visited the family the following day Jumoke was slain. She said that was where the victim’s mother was living at the time of the young lady’s killing.

Kenyan female police officer who killed 2 ex lovers, found dead
Fugitive Kenyan female police officer Caroline Kangogo who is believed to have killed two men alleged to be her ex lovers, has been found dead. According to reports, her lifeless body was discovered lying in a bathroom at her parents’ home and moved to Iten County Referral Hospital mortuary. Kenyan female police officer who killed 2 ex lovers, found dead According to Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya, Kangogo died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head. However, a postmoterm report is yet to be done. Caroline Kangogo apologized for killing her colleague in a detailed ‘suicide note’ Kangogo was the main suspect for the murder of two men – John Ogweno, a police oficer and Peter Ndwiga, a businessman in Juja. Detectives say the Nakuru based cop shot dead her colleague, constable Ogweno, on Monday, July 5 and fled to Juja where she allegedly killed Ndwiga, 32, in a hotel room. According to hotel attendants, Ndwiga checked into the Kimbo facility on July 5, 2021, at around 4:30pm in the company of an unidentified woman and booked room number 107. Kagongo was later spotted on CCTV exiting the room at around midnight before fleeing to an unknown destination. Ndwiga’s body was later found on the bed. Her training and experience as a crime-buster in the police service seemed to have worked in her favour making it difficult for the police to pin her down. Details from her file portray her as an experienced, well-trained and widely travelled person. Kangogo was described as a party animal, but her exploits would sometimes turn nasty. She courted controversy wherever she went due to her penchant for picking quarrels and getting into fights. “What happened could not have escalated to this level had her bosses taken action over her indiscipline,” said a police officer in reference to the murder of Constable John Ogweno. A special team comprising officers from CRIB and SSU was sent from DCI headquarters to Kagongo’s rural home in Elgeyo Marakwet, and Kisii where she was believed to be hiding but the investigators’ work was hampered by the fact that the officer had dumped her known cellphone. The police have, however, reiterated that it is yet to be proven that Kangogo actually shot and killed the two men. “It is still not clear if Kangogo actually carried out the shooting or not. She was only a suspect and a person of interest because of the evidence found linking her to the scene.

Thai man padlocks penis for 2 weeks out of boredom
A man has suffered a permanently disfigured penis after it was stuck inside a padlock for two whole weeks. His mother also told medics that he “liked putting it though small holes” after his Instruments had swollen due to the pressure on his member. Thai man padlocks penis for 2 weeks out of boredom The 38-year-old bachelor from Thailand clamped the metal device around the base of his penis in a bizarre sex act and lost the key. He tried to remove the small padlock but failed so he left it on for more than two weeks. But it soon became infected and the pain became so unbearable that he was raced to hospital in Bangkok. Emergency services arrived at his home on Thursday, with his embarrassed mum telling medics that he didn’t have a girlfriend. She claimed he was “bored’ because he had been stuck at home during the pandemic. She said: “My son is a private person and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He has been staying at home a lot during the pandemic because he is worried about going out.” “He told me he did this because he was bored and he likes putting his ‘thing’ through small holes. I was angry at him for embarrassing me like this and I’ve told him not to do it again.” The injury was worse than doctors expected and had to rush him into hospital. They spent more than half an hour using an electric cutter to slice through the metal lock, still clamped around his body. They slid a thin sheet of metal between the bar and the man’s skin to prevent it from being injured or cut during the process, as well as squirting water onto his body to help lubricate the skin around the padlock. After they managed to free his penis, they gave him antibiotic cream and penicillin tablets. Despite him now being free of the device, medics warn there could be lasting damage due to the amount of time the padlock was stuck. His penis has been disfigured by the ordeal, medics said. Rescue officer Thongchai Donson said: “In the hospital he was in pain and screaming so loudly because it was so swollen. Removing the metal was very difficult. “We can’t give the man’s name but we want to make the news public to prevent other people from doing this kind of thing. It can be very dangerous and damage the body.”

We Can Only Replace Candidates Based On Court Order, Says INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed that it can only replace the name of a candidate for the Anambra governorship election, when it receives a court order to that effect. This comes following the substitution of Charles Soludo, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, with Michael Umeoji as the standard-bearer for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Festus Okoye, INEC national commissioner and chairman, information and voter education stated this while speaking on the development when he featured on a programme on Channels Television on Friday. He explained that INEC can only replace the names of candidates based on court orders, as the timeframe for party primaries has elapsed. “The period given in our timetable and schedule of activities for the submission of the names of the candidates, which is bound by the electoral act, has elapsed, and that is the ninth day of July, 2021,” he said. “Within that particular window that we gave, the parties submitted the names of candidates. Now, if at the end of the day, the court makes a determination that the candidate whose name was submitted is not the candidate, and the court gives us an order in relation to another validly nominated candidate, of course, under the section 287 of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria, the commission is duty-bound to give effect to properly constituted court of law. “But in terms of political parties submitting lists of candidates, you cannot do that any more. The period given in our timetable and schedule of activities for the conduct of primaries has elapsed. “The court only operates on the basis of existing law, and on the basis of the constitutional provision.”

Nigeria’s Inflation Rate Declines To 17.75%
Nigeria’s consumer price index (CPI), a measurement of the rate of change in prices of goods and services, has declined to 17.75% in June from 17.93 recorded in May 2021. The ‘Consumer Price Index Report for June’ released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Friday, means that the prices have continued to increase in June 2021. However, it was at a slower rate than it did in the last month. “The CPI measures the average change over time in prices of goods and services consumed by people for day-to-day living,” the NBS noted in its report. “The construction of the CPI combines economic theory, sampling and other statistical techniques using data from other surveys to produce a weighted measure of average price changes in the Nigerian economy.” The country’s Headline Index, on a month-on-month basis, moved by 1.06% in June 2021. This figure was 0.05 percentage points higher than what was recorded in May 2021 – pegged at 1.01%. There was also an increase in the urban inflation rate as it jumped by 18.35 %(year-on-year) in June 2021 from May 2021’s 18.51%. On the other hand, the rural inflation rate moved by 17.16% in June 2021 from 17.36% in May 2021. The NBS report equally noted that the composite food index increased by 21.83 % in June 2021. This is against the 22.28% reported in May 2021. The implication is that prices of food rose in the month under review but at a little slower pace than what was recorded in May 2021. Increases in prices of bread, cereals, yam, and others, drove the food price index.

Obasanjo Warned Us Buhari Unfit To Rule Nigeria –Oyinlola
Former governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has bemoaned what he described as “the failure” of President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver on his campaign promises. Oyinlola expressed that he played a critical role in the campaign that brought Buhari to power. He, however, said he was regretful of his action. He added that he should have listened to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s warning that Buhari was unfit to govern the country. The former governor stated this in an interview he granted BBC Yoruba on Friday. Oyinlola said, “I am saddened that Buhari said he did not know what restructuring is. I played an important role in the process that brought Buhari to power. One of the policies we sold to the South was restructuring but it was shocking that in an interview, the President said he didn’t know the meaning of restructuring. May God forgive us and have mercy because this was contrary to what we envisaged. “We made a lot of promises to the people but none of the promises he made has been fulfilled, especially on the security issues. It was like Boko Haram would be forgotten within six months of Buhari’s becoming the President. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo warned us that Buhari was not fit to run the country but we did not listen to him. “We thought that since he was once a military Head of State, he would know how best to handle the insecurity that the country was faced with. Since we gained independence, and civil war, there’s no moment scarier than what we have now. “The newspaper reports we read daily capture deaths and abduction of people. Already, parents are wary of sending their kids to school. Insecurity has not gone worse like this since 1999.”

FG Will Take Possession Of Repatriated Benin Artefacts
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has expressed that the federal government will take possession of the repatriated Benin artefacts and will take into “cognizance the culture that produced the art works”. He stated this while speaking with the media during a press briefing on the efforts by the federal government to repatriate looted/smuggled artefacts from around the world, in Lagos on Saturday. Recall that the German government said it would return the 1,130 looted Benin bronzes to Nigeria in 2022. However, since the news of repatriation, the Benin palace and the Edo government have been at loggerheads over who will house the historical and precious artefacts. The Oba of Benin had asked the federal government to take possession of the artefacts when received, noting that the “only legitimate destination for the artefacts” is under the Benin royal museum which will be sited within the vicinity of the Oba’s palace. He said the repatriated bronzes are not the property of the Edo state government but that of the Benin kingdom. Godwin Obaseki, the state governor, had said on the return of the bronzes, they will be kept in ”a transformational museum to be built in Benin City.”

Stop Linking Me To Re-Arrest Of Nnamdi Kanu
Minister of Labour and Employment Chris Ngige has asked the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) to stop linking him to the re-arrest of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Ngige expressed that as the Chief Labour Officer, he lacked the time to meddle into security and diplomatic matters, which clearly fall within the mandate of the Nigerian Security and National Intelligence Agencies. This was contained in a statement by his Media Office in Abuja on Saturday. Ngige described the statement by the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, attempting to link him with the arrest of Kanu as deceitful, mischievous, malicious and wicked. The Minister stated that IPOB and its spokesperson know him (Ngige) very well as a man who calls “a spade a spade” and has no room for “equivocation or speaking from both sides of the mouth” since his days as Governor in Anambra State. “Ngige is occupied, involved and engrossed with his duties as the Labour and Employment Minister, member of Federal Cabinet Committee for Economic Recovery and member of the Economic Sustainability Committee constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari, which is headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, with the mandate to tackle the challenges and fallouts of COVID-19 and post COVID-19 era. “It is therefore unthinkable that somebody with grey matter in his brain, except if he is hallucinating like the IPOB spokesman, could accuse a very busy Minister like Senator Ngige of being part of a ‘conspiracy’ for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu. “The Minister, being somebody with long-standing experience in the public service, knows the bounds of his office and does not have the time to meddle into Foreign Affairs of Extradition and security matters that clearly fall within the mandate of the Nigerian Diplomatic Missions, national intelligence agencies. “Ngige is neither the Minister of Police Affairs, Justice, Foreign Affairs nor the National Security Adviser, to start discussing issues of extradition or arrest of a fugitive outside Nigeria’s territory, which are clearly outside his mandate.”

Ortom Hits FG Over Alleged N6.5bn Ranching Fund To Katsina
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has faulted the N6.5bn allegedly approved for the establishment of ranching in Katsina. He stated that the sum out of which N5bn has been allegedly released to President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state was hypocritical and contradictory to the President’s support for open grazing. He demanded an apology from the Federal Government as well as approval of N100bn to Benue for ranching. Ortom was reacting to reports of the Federal Government’s approval of N6.5 billion to Katsina State for the establishment of ranches during a chat with the media on Saturday in Makurdi. He said: “It is hypocrisy for the federal government to approve money for ranching in a state and leave others out. And in fact, the Governor of (Katsina) state in his remarks said N5billion had already been remitted to their coffers. So, I begin to wonder, where are we headed? “If the President has approved N6.5billion for Katsina state, they should also approve N100billion for Benue state with an apology to me because we started it.”

APC Has Failed The Nation: Samuel Ortom Says
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has expressed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration has failed the nation, adding that Nigerians under the APC have been suffering and smiling. He stated this during a media briefing with newsmen on Saturday in Makurdi, the state capital. “That man (Fela) spoke prophetically about what we are going through in Nigeria. Today, Nigerians are truly suffering and smiling. I feel so sad because we have failed our country but I pray God helps us. “Tell me where we are economically, security-wise, politically where is Nigeria? So, when I hear people say that they are decamping from one political party to the APC, one wonders what they are going there to do. “Even you the journalists who are talking to me, can you, in all honesty, say this government of APC and the presidency have impacted your lives? So we must not be afraid to speak out,” Ortom said.

“Electronic voting is PDP’s idea to rig election” - Ndume
Senator Ali Ndume has claimed that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, plans to rig the 2023 general elections through the use of electronic voting. Ndume’s comments are coming shortly after the national assembly voted against the adoption of electronic transmission of votes. Speaking to Roots TV, Ndume said; “This electronic voting they are talking about, i think its PDP’s idea to rig the election because they are the ones that have the Yahoo-Yahoo boys, they are the ones that have ‘puppy’. “These are the people otherwise i don’t see any reason for the cry out on this matter”. He continued further; “The truth of the matter is that we had 6 elections in this country and the one that was administered under the government of APC was adjudged to be very credible where you saw opposition winning elections under a sitting government. That was not the case during the PDP”. “If you are thinking is that APC is doing this to take advantage of it, we would have taken advantage of the previous elections that were conducted credibly”. Senator Kabiru Gaya, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission panel said he voted against his committee’s recommendation on electronic transmission of results because the amended version was better. “I did not vote against my bill, Senator George Sekibo who accused me of doing so was just playing to the gallery. “If you prepare something, and you later saw an improved version of it, you can go for it. “There is nothing wrong if the chairman of a committee support the amended version of a report he presented. “It is not possible as it is, to transmit election in one part of the country and refused to do so in other part. “It has to be uniform. The card reader can work anywhere in the country, but you need network coverage to transmit results. “Although INEC has said it is ready to do electronic transmission of results, but we have to involve the NCC and the National Assembly to create check and balances. “The NCC will come to the National Assembly, and we will determine whether its claims were practicable or not NCC.”
