Togolese President wins Election For Third Term

At a point I thought Africa was moving forward when president Jonathan broke the African Jinx of 2nd tenure but here is Faure winning the presidential election for the 3rd time.

The Togolese president Faure Gnassingbe has won re-election for the third term in office.

The results which was announced by election commission chairman Taffa Tabiou late Tuesday night gave Gnassingbe about 59 percent of the vote in Saturday’s election. while the leading opposition candidate Jean Pierre Fabre had 35 percent of the vote.

Gnassingbe has ruled since the death of his father, Gnassingbe Eyadema, who took power in a coup in 1967. The Gnassingbe family has ruled Togo for half a century.

Is this a monarchial system?

I Worked to raise $6,000 for Libyan pimp ─ 15year Old Nigerian Schoolgirl narrates her Ordeal

Since this story broke out in February this year on the punch, I have followed it. Here, precious narrates her ordeal in the hands of her captives. It is long but worth the read...

Precious Nwaigwe, the 15-year-old schoolgirl, who was kidnapped in the Ajah area of Lagos State about a year ago, has said she was made to work for $6,000 the Libyan pimp paid to buy her.

She added that after paying the money, she was again used as collateral for a 500 Libyan dinars (N50,000) loan.

She also stated that her abductors conducted pregnancy tests on her three different times, which were negative.

The schoolgirl, who was released on Friday, spoke to PUNCH Metro on Monday in Ikeja, Lagos.

She said she saw more than 1,000 Nigerian girls, who were also forced to work for the money paid by the pimps to the human traffickers.

#KeepHopeAlive: Stop the Indonesia Execution

 

Above is a phase by phase pictures of how the 9nine drug traffickers in Indonesia will be killed as shown by an Indonesian Tv station.

In less than 24hours 9people will be executed by the Indonesian authority. These 9persons have been tried for drug trafficking a crime, yes but not enough to order their death by firing squad.
The Judgement passed on these 9 individuals is cruel, unfair and inhumane. Other punishment can be metted out to them but not death penalty.
This action violates the human right of these people. They should be given fair hearing, fair judgment.
Lets help stop this execution. Tell Joko Widodo the Indonesian president and the Indonesian community to stop this injustice. Your voice can make the difference. #Indonesia. #KeepHopeAlive

24 food You should STOP Refrigerating

But did you know, despite popular belief, refrigerating certain foods can actually change their flavour (not in a good way). This is not it. It can even reduce their nutritional quality, or accelerate the spoiling process. Keep reading to find out the food items you are never supposed to refrigerate. We bet some of these are sitting in your fridge right now!
1) BREAD It is perfectly fine to freeze bread, but keeping it in the fridge causes it to dry faster. And you end up eating dry bread. Instead, keep what you'll eat within four days at room temperature and freeze the rest. Store in a cool cupboard or bread box for a fresh slice.

2) HERBS
It's natural instinct to stuff the fresh herbs, you just bought from the grocery, right onto the fridge. But did you know herbs wilt faster in the fridge? You could place them in a water-filled glass jar on your kitchen counter to to keep it fresh and crisp.

3) POTATO
Refrigeration adversely affects the flavour of potatoes, therefore it is best to store them in paper bags. Remember, plastic bags promote moisture and speed decay process.

LOVE101: 5 Amazing Love quotes that will make you fall in Love

 “You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

"When you learn to truly love, you will Learn to Live. You hold nothing back, you cry when it comes, you smile in absentia and you dance with all your heart".
-Onyinnye

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley
“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Photos: See ISIS Executioner Hugs Two Gay Men Before Stoning Them to Death

Please who forgives someone and still punishes them? ISIS.

The ISIS executioners in the pictures above are seen hugging and forgiving two gay moments before stoning them to death..
According to report, the shocking images were taken in ISIS-held territory in the province of Homs and show the two accused men being savagely executed by up to four jihadis.

Huge, bloodthirsty crowds are seen in the desert clearing where the group of executioners made a display of hugging the blindfolded couple and telling them they were forgiven of their 'sins', before pummeling them to death with hundreds of fist-sized rocks. 
Images of the horrific murder emerged on social media this afternoon and were hurriedly shared online by ISIS sympathizers who claim the photographs reveal the terrorists' compassionate side. 
The sequence of four images begin by showing two blindfolded men standing side-by-side in a desert clearing while a group of ISIS gather alongside the on motorbikes.
One of the two victims - who has curly hair, a thick beard and wears a black leather biker jacket - appears resigned to his fate as one of his soon-to-killers shoulders rests his hand of his shoulder.

8 People and Groups Who will Shape Buhari's Presidency

This is a long article but it is worth the read. This article was published today inDaily Trust Newspaper. read below;
With the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28 presidential polls, the President-elect retired General Muhammadu Buhari has emerged as the new hub of power in the country.
Buhari’s election as president after three attempts has already generated an intense struggle among various individuals and power bases - all trying to ingratiate themselves and their cronies into the president-elect political calculus.
There are few individuals across the country believed to have the capacity of influencing some decisions of the president-elect because of their long standing relationship with him.
Aside these individuals, there are also emerging political power bases that are strategizing to position themselves in his power base because of the various roles they purportedly played in his electioneering.

Mamman Daura: Malam Mamman Daura, a veteran journalist and industrialist, is Buhari’s nephew. He was, among others, editor of the New Nigerian newspaper and later its managing director.
He is considered as one of the rare Buhari’s confidants and he was said to be one of the few individuals that played influential roles during the Buhari/Idiagbon regime in 1983.
His relationship with the president-elect is purely personal and non-political. He is seen as one of the few non-politicians that draw tremendous respect from Buhari.
Though he was not actively involved in the electioneering of Buhari, he is never far from the president-elect.

Chibok Girls: One Year In Memory, Will they Ever be found?

Today makes it year since 234 or more girls were taken from Chibok. After one year, I do not know how these girls are doing, what effect they will have on us by the time they return. It has been a painful long year. We hope they are safe and good where ever they are.
To celebrate their one year, I am re-publishing this piece I wrote six months ago on the 14th of October 2014. It is a reminder of how long it has been. Read the piece below....
I stood in-front of a wooden bar and behind me was a deep dark night. I could not move forward because the bars obstructed the way, neither could I move backward because of the fear of what I may find. I clasped my hand to the bar and peered through the spaces between them in a bid to see through the thick darkness but, I saw nothing. All I could feel was mosquitoes’ bites.

Suddenly, she grabbed my hands from the other side of the wooden bar. I tried to break free from the stranger but she said to me “when are they coming for us, when are they coming to take us home” She spoke in a petrified tone.

Shivers of fear ran through my bones as I mumbled, “Who are you?’’ To which she replied, ‘’it is Ruth, the girl taken from Chibok, when are they coming to take us home”. I tried to imagine how I got there and to convince Ruth that the government was working hard to bring them home; although, I did not believe my words. Continue below....

PDP Defectors Should Not Expect Automatic Appointment in My Govt- Says Buhari

The President elect, Gen Buhari who addressed newsmen after casting his vote at his polling unit in Daura Katsina state yesterday April 11th, said that PDP defectors should not expect automatic appointment as ministers in his government. 

"I have no fears of PDP defectors. The people who are defecting will only have influence in their constituencies. Since their constituencies are now controlled by the APC, their influence is, therefore, limited. I hope the people that are defecting will accept the fact that they are joining the people who succeeded. So, I don’t think they will just come and say they want to be ministers next month, simply because they were ministers before.” he said

"The Oba's Words Matters"-Chimamanda Adichie's Response to the Oba's Threat

This piece was written by Chimamanda Adichie in response to the Oba's threat. Read below....

"A few days ago, the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo leaders. If they did not vote for his governorship candidate in Lagos, he said, they would be thrown into the lagoon. His entire speech was a flagrant performance of disregard. His words said, in effect: I think so little of you that I don’t have to cajole you but will just threaten you and, by the way, your safety in Lagos is not assured, it is negotiable.
There have been condemnations of the Oba’s words. Sadly, many of the condemnations from non-Igbo people have come with the ugly impatience of expressions like ‘move on,’ and ‘don’t be over-emotional’ and ‘calm down.’ These take away the power, even the sincerity, of the condemnations. It is highhanded and offensive to tell an aggrieved person how to feel, or how quickly to forgive, just as an apology becomes a non-apology when it comes with ‘now get over it.’
