US DRONES STATIONED IN NIGER TO MONITOR BOKO HARAM

In furtherance of the onslaught aimed at crushing the Boko Haram sect in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, the United States Government has positioned drones stationed
in Niamey, Niger Republic. The Predator drones which also monitor neighbouring Chad and Cameroon are unarmed and could be equipped with Hellfire missiles if
the need arises. The military on the orders of the President, Goodluck Jonathan had deployed thousands of
troops to the troubled states after the imposition of a state of emergency on Tuesday May 14, 2013. Sources say the hardware, supported by USG, was in line with its determination to get rid of extremist in West and North Africa. President Barack Obama had earlier in the
year, announced that 100 American troops were being sent to the drone base in the Nigerien capital. The drones had been deployed against Islamist
extremists in Mali but may have now been extended to cover Niger's border with Nigeria. President of Niger, Issoufou Mahamadou had in January appealed for western assistance in curbing the activities of terrorists operating within the region. "Our countries are like the blind leading the blind. We rely on countries like France and the United States. We need co-operation to
ensure our security," he said. Reacting to the report, Director of Information, Defense Headquarters, Brig-Gen. Chris Olukolade, said as at present, there was no collaboration with the USG on the ongoing offensive.
"This is solely a Nigerian planned operation and we are doing it our own way. This operation is our own and we are doing it in line with best practices. It is Nigerian designed and executed," he maintained.

MY NEXT SCRIPT IS A GAY MOVIE - AFRO CANDY.

ANY SPECIAL REASON WHY YOU CHOSE THE NAME AFROCANDY?

I chose the name because guys call me 'Eye Candy'. And I figured, if I'm an eye candy and I'm African, I should be an AfroCandy
.
ARE YOUR BOOBS NATURAL?

No, I did not do any boob job. My boobs are all mine, naturally made and given to me by my creator.

WHY DID YOU GO INTO PORN MOVIES?

I'm not into pornography. I'll say this over and over. The fact that I chose to make romance and sex scenes in my movies real should not make me a porn star. Now tell me, would you call the actors that play assassin and killer
roles in movies murderers because they play such roles? Why are eyebrows being raised over this my movie? Or, is it because it has to do with sex, which is supposed to be a way of life?

WHAT IS YOUR IMPRESSION ABOUT GAYS?

My impression about them is, they are mostly adults, they know what is right and what is wrong and choose to do what is best for them. I guess they know what they want and what they want to do with their lives. So it's
normal. Would you act in a gay movie? Yes, I will. Matter of fact, I have a script for that and I guess that doesn't make me gay now, right?

WHICH PART OF YOUR BODY TURNS GUY ON THE MOST?

Ha ha ha…thats'a very funny question, but how would I even know that? I guess you should conduct a wide search for that and maybe ask the guys for that.

HOW DO YOUR DAUGHTERS FEEL ABOUT YOUR ROLES IN PORN MOVIES?

I may be their mother because I brought them into the world. I may have the privilege to raise them up to adult age. But you know, I cannot tell them what to do or follow at a certain age. Besides, they are Americans who have their own minds. If they graduate from college and decide to follow my footsteps, it's their own calling. If I can predict, they wouldn't want to do what I do because they
have better opportunities and better futures than mine. All I do now is to secure a better future for them so they don't have to go through what I went through in my life time. Mind you, I tell my daughters everything I do.
I even told them about this project, the nature of it, but I could not show them because they are not up to 18 yet. I just had to prepare them in case they run into it on the
Internet, they won't be shocked. So don't worry about my daughters, they are the best children any mother could ever ask for and I thank God for the gift

Gov ordered police to bring my head - Ombatse chief priest

The Chief Priest of the Ombatse cult group
in Lakyo, Nasarawa South Local Government
Area of Nasarawa State, Ala Agu, on
Wednesday said that security men that
invaded the community were ordered by the
state governor, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura, to
kill him.
The 76-year-old Agu, popularly called Baba
Lakyo, spoke with journalists on Wednesday
at Lakyo during a visit of Senator Solomon
Ewuga (Nasarawa North Senatorial District)
to the community.
The chief priest, who spoke through an
interpreter, said the security operatives did
not come to arrest him, but to kill him "and
cut off my head and take it to the governor."
"It is the governor that asked the people
(police officers) to come here and arrest me,
cut my head and take my head to him.
"When they came, because they were
themselves drunk, my god did not allow them
to come to me and they died on the way.
"The question I asked is, 'has the governor
ever invited me and I refused to go?' If am
invited, I will go. But he sent people to come
and kill me and to destroy Lakyo as a whole.
That is just what it is."
Al-Makura had rushed to the Presidential
Villa, Abuja on May 8, 2013 to brief Vice-
President Nnamadi Sambo on the security
situation in the state, saying that 20
policemen were killed in Lakyo by cultists.
The governor had said that members of
Ombatse laid ambush and killed security
agents sent to arrest the members in their
shrine.
On Wednesday, Baba Lakyo said that he had
never been invited by security agencies,
contrary to reports that the police invaded
the village after he shunned their invitation.
The chief priest said that he was willing to
honour any invitation either by the governor
or the police.
Although Lakyo is peaceful, besides the sight
of burnt vehicles used by the security men,
Agu said he was unhappy with what happened
and was apprehensive of what might befall
him afterwards.
Ewuga toured Lakyo community, and led
reporters to the home of Agu, which
represents the "shrine" of the Ombatse.
Agu however denied ever forcing people to
join the group through any initiation or
drinking of concoction.
"I am grateful for your coming, Senator. I
am very, very grateful for your coming. Even
if the Senator did not come here, I had
intended to go and see him in his house but
since he is here, I am very grateful," he told
the senator.
Agu also said that he was in a nearby village
when the incident took place only for him to
come back to be informed that the governor
sent people to come and kill him.
Asked whether the incident had anything to
do with the politics of the state, he said, "If
you are talking about politics, it does not
bother me. I don't even understand Hausa
language. Politics is not for me because I am
not a politician. Politics is for politicians but
I hear that the time for politicking has not
even come.
"If I ever opened my mouth to force anybody
to take oath, God should punish me".
He said that Ombatse was an association of
Lakyo boys into which nobody was forced to
belong.
He said he was ready to honour any police
invitation but insisted that nobody had
invited him.
According to him, it is even more saddening
that he is being linked to the incident,
especially when he knew nothing about what
happened to the policemen.
But Al-Makura on Wednesday dismissed
Agu's claim that he was never invited for any
meeting.
The governor, who spoke through his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr. Iliya Aliu, in a
telephone interview, said it was on record
that the head of the cult group did not
honour several invitations extended to him.
He said, "It is not true that he was never
invited. The Emir of Lafia who is the
Chairman of the Nasarawa State Council of
Chiefs invited him, he refused to honour it.
"Are Eggon, who is the chief of his area
invited him, he refused; the Police, the SSS
all invited him before this incident but he
refused to honour any of them.
"His followers attacked and killed people in
Asakiyo Alago; they went to Arga Migili,
Kwadere and did the same.
"No responsible government will sit by and
watch such things happen without taking
action.
"It was after he refused to answer all of
these invitations that the state security
council met and decided that he should be
arrested.
"Even their name, Ombatse, means it is our
turn. Their turn for what?
"In any case, no matter the grievance, no
individual or group has the right to kill
innocent security officials.
"He and all those responsible must face the
consequence of their action."
The President of the Egon Cultural
Development Association, Mr. Chris Mamman,
said the only way to get to the root of what
happened at Alakyo was for the Federal
Government to set up a judicial commission
of inquiry.
Ewuga said he decided to tour the affected
area as a matter of national responsibility,
saying he needed to see things for himself
since he is also an Eggon man even though it
was not within his senatorial district.

BRITAIN UNDER ATTACK

 The brutal killing of a British soldier Wednesday near a military barracks in the Woolwich neighborhood of southeast London has shocked the United Kingdom, with Prime Minister David Cameron saying the act appears to be a terrorist attack.

Security was increased at army bases around London amid fears of additional attacks. The capital has not witnessed an alert of this kind since the summer of 2005, when London's public transport network was targeted with coordinated bomb attacks.

London's Metropolitan Police are not releasing the soldier's name per his family's wishes. Both men suspected in the attack were shot by police and are under guard at local hospitals. Authorities have not released their identities.

The Effect of the “Silver Spoon” on Empowerment of the Masses

 

On the face of it, it’s very easy for those of us in the general population to write off the wealthy and privileged as “having it all”; our natural reaction is to assume that being born with the proverbial silver spoon in your mouth means you’re a dead cert for success in life. With all those investments in education, opportunities and connections, surely it’s an absolute cinch to become even richer and more powerful?

There’s a massive temptation to give into being resentful and negative towards those we perceive as having an unfair advantage and as a result this is one of the most controversial and divisive issues faced by women who’d normally be each other’s biggest supporters.

At WOWe, we pride ourselves on challenging stereotypes and assumptions about women in business, especially those that may hold them back. Many Nigerian women are well versed in the challenges facing under privileged women in entering the world of business and entrepreneurship, but our research showed a substantial gap in understanding of what it means to enter business from a wealthy background. This ignorance fuels bad feeling and division amongst what should be a strong, self-affirming sisterhood of Nigerian business women.

To help us start to understand, we reached out to some of the WOWe speakers to explain some of the potential downsides of being born into a privileged background. Nail Bar CEO and Bella Naija beauty columnist Ameera Abraham says “I personally feel it’s more difficult to come from a privileged background. It’s almost like because you were born privileged in Nigeria you are seen as being undeserving of your business. Apart from the ease of raising capital for the business you have to work twice as hard to prove yourself.”

This definitely resonates with our understanding of the resentment and negativity that can arise from the success of a privileged woman, but is there more to it?

We asked the lady who brought us Nigerian Idol, Chichi Nwoko to extrapolate: “One would be inclined to think that a woman born into superior social circumstances should have greater chances of successful career. However, I would hesitate to say that it is easier –this is despite the fact that being privileged gives one access to more opportunities and resources.
In my estimation, the key factor to success depends on the type of individual one aspires to be in terms of having the skills and intellect to harness inherited privileged circumstances into personal successes or, translating the same into a catalogue of hindrances to success. My position is that a combination of good education, perseverance and a woman’s resolve to harness the challenges of our society into opportunities would ultimately lead to her success, despite her family background.“

Chichi hit on a really interesting point, regarding the perseverance required to achieve the type of success you want to achieve. All Nigerian women face a possible conflict between the expectations of their families and what they want to achieve; this can be even more poignant in a privileged household. You can imagine being the woman coming from generations of distinguished lawyers who says “No, actually I don’t want that, I want to work in fashion.” And having to fight for something that your family consider frivolous or below what they expect.

Not all of our speakers saw a downside however, Afua Dabanka of cult fashion brand MO SAÏQUE said “I think it is an asset and wished more women would utilize it in the right way.” Celebrity makeup artists and cosmetics guru Eryca Freemantle agrees, “This is depends on what is meant by success, but on a whole I think the answer is yes, Nigeria and the rest of the world. I see it being an asset, never a hindrance. If used correctly and smartly you can get what you want and help others less privileged too.”
And here these women tap into a key message around this topic, yes being privileged has a lot of positives, yes you can expect some things to come a lot easier, however you are expected to take advantage of this, use it well and most importantly give back and share the advantages life has given you.

For the most part the problem is not that privileged women are unwilling to give back to the Nigerian female business community; rather that not everyone who could benefit from the experience, connections and opportunities provided by their circumstances is prepared to do so. In rejecting the friendship and support of our fellow women, we hold ourselves back.

The women who make up the WOWe speaker panel and advisory board come from a range of different backgrounds, but no one can deny that they are all now exceptionally successful. They are prepared to share everything they can with aspiring entrepreneurs and I can only hope that those who might previously have resented those who have more than they do will seize the chance to move forward and use the life experience of others to drive their business ventures to the next level

Arsenal close to signing striker Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre

Arsène Wenger has revealed Arsenal are close to signing striker Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre. The France Under-21 international is out of contract with Auxerre but Arsenal would need to pay compensation under the Bosman ruling.
"We are advanced with him, but it is not done," said Wenger. "I am very confident. He is a young striker who is promising, and has a big talent."
Arsenal are expected to strengthen the squad during the summer, with a reported £100m to spend in the transfer market. It has been suggested that Wenger is considering a move for Wayne Rooney, but the manager refused to be drawn on whether Arsenal would be moving for the Manchester United striker, who has put in a transfer request.
Asked if his club could afford Rooney, Wenger said: "That is not even a question at the moment. We have not gone into that. At the moment we have no interest in anybody, we have only one interest and that is of course Sunday's game."

NIGERIAN ARMY LAUNCHES AIR STRIKE ON BOKO HARAM STRONGHOLDS

Nigerian forces used jets and attack helicopters to bombard Islamist militant camps in the northeast on Friday, killing a number of insurgents, the defense headquarters spokesman said.
Brigadier-General Chris Olukolade told Reuters by telephone several camps had been attacked, including in the Sambisa game reserve in Borno state, but did not have further details.
“A number of insurgents have been killed. It is not just Sambisa, every camp is under attack. But we have not done the mopping up operations on the ground to determine the numbers killed,” Olukolade said.
Nigerian forces are trying to regain territory controlled by increasingly well-armed Boko Haram Islamist insurgents in their northeastern stronghold states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, which were put under a state of emergency by President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday.
