Fast Food Owner (Ritualist) Caught with Human Blood, Fetish and Diabolic Items in Imo State

Source: Nubnews
It was a very horrible, absurd and gory sight to behold earlier today, as the owners of a popular eatery around the spherical city of Aladinma student alliance met their well timed waterloo.
Eyewitness recounted that trouble started within the wee hours of the morning, when the vigilante group in charge of security around the alliance caught a woman in possession of blood filled calabash doing some incantation in front of an eatery by name "Sweet Diamond" situated at the heart of the alliance.

When she was accosted, she lied that she was conducting a prayer session and the security guards overlooked her.
She was almost allowed to go scot free, not until suspicion grew and the fetish contents of the calabash was discovered.
She was almost lynched by the irate mob, if not for the confessions she was forced to make.

Total Woman: Woman! You are Blessed

In my days in the University there was this very special classmate of ours we called her "Total Woman". I can't remember how the name came about, but one look at her you will see the reason for the name.

Total woman didn't lose out in any part of her life good at her school work, always prayed to the lord, she exercised often by jogging and skipping to stay fit. When it came to social activities, she participated fully, I remember our last old school day in the final year, even when most of us didn't think it was okay to do all that she stepped out in old school style and had fun, marched around and made herself and people around her happy. Total woman had every beddings, cooking equipment in her space, that's why we rated her No1 in cooking.
She was also very industrious, her hands were very useful to her.
One day, after it had rained  I was going out when I saw total woman picking things and I asked her what she was doing, she said she was picking snails.

Your Facebook Status says more about your personality-See How

If you think your facebook status update says nothing about your personality, then you have to read this...
According to themirroruk, the researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Cambridge looked at Facebook users who had downloaded a personality test app – MyPersonality.

They got permission from 70,000 users of that app to use their personliaty test results, and then to monitor their facebook status updates for two and a half years between January 2009 and November 2011.

It resulted in 15 million messages.
The study's lead author Greg Park of Pennsylvania University said that neuroticism was the hardest personality type to find through Facebook analysis. "The worst score was in neuroticism, that makes sense from what psychologisst know. Because it's internal, it's the hardest to spot from examining language".

Word For Today: A little Bit Of Kindness

Photo Credit: Google

This Story is Credited to wow4u. I hope it brightens your day.
There are times in our life when we don't take action because we feel the act of kindness 

is too little, that it wouldn't make a difference. However, sometimes the smallest gesture can make a huge impact on someone's life. There are many different ways we can show kindness to others, and it doesn't have to be in a big way.

The simplest of things may make the difference. A smile, a door being held open, a handwritten note, a kind word, the list can go on and on.

I was recently reading some of Aesop's fables and came across the story of The Lion and The Mouse. While this story has been around for a long time, it still has wisdom in its words. Below is the story:

21 Signs of Emotional Abuse in Relationship/Marriages

Emotional/Psychological abuse is as common as the physical abuse but it is often neglected because there is usually no sign of physical harm done. 

Psych Central says, psychological abuse occurs when a person in the relationship tries to control information available to another person with intent to manipulate that person’s sense of reality or their view of what is acceptable and unacceptable. Psychological abuse often contains strong emotionally manipulative content and threats designed to force the victim to comply with the abuser’s wishes.
A common form of emotional abuse is “I love you, but…” That may sound nice at first, yet it is both a disguised criticism and a threat. It indicates, “I love you now, but if you don’t stop this or that, my love will be taken away.” It is a constant jab that slowly strips away your self-esteem. Abusers get a lot of reinforcement out of using the word “love” as it seems to become a magic word to control you.

Photos: Boko haram Beheads two Spies in Recent Videos

 
The resemblance between ISIS and Boko haram should not be overlooked, they are now beheading.

Yesterday, Boko Haram  released a video on twitter which shows the beheading of two men they accused of being spies for the Nigerian police. The two men, identified as Dawoud Muhammad & Muhammad Awlu, were led by Boko Haram militants to a forest where they were made to kneel and confess their 'crimes' to the camera. 

In his confession, Muhammad (right) said he was a farmer from Baga and that he'd been approached by a police officer who offered him money in exchange for infiltrating Boko Haram.

'We went to see a man from Mijka and a police officer that was with him. The officer gave me 5,000 Naira' Muhammad tells the camera.

He said their mission was to spy on Boko Haram, and in exchange, he'd get 'a lot of money and will never go back to being a farmer again'.

After the confessions, the militants beheaded both men and placed their severed heads on their chest.

Releasing Chibok girls information will damage Ties With Nigeria-UK

The British government may have important details concerning the whereabouts of the kidnapped girls from Chibok in Borno state last April. But the British government says that divulging such information  will damage its relationship with Nigeria and other allies.

According to the punch news, this revelation came after a UK-based group, Security in Africa, through its founder, Ben Oguntala, wrote the British Ministry of Defence to request for information on the Chibok girls.

“The information was sent on January 30 this year and the UK government has 20 days to comply. They do have a defence of national security and that would prevent them from disclosing the information. Let’s hope they don’t. If they rely on national security defence, we can raise the matter with the Information Commissioner’s office to determine if their claim of national security is reasonable,” Oguntala told our correspondent while requesting for the information.

In Pictures: Anti-Buhari protesters In Chatham House, London

Nigeria's Transition: Buhari's speech at the Chatham House

Finally the Chatham speech. It is a long one, the beginning is a bit of history and the election in the eye of the world. When you go way down, from where Nigeria is mentioned as been in the 4th republic the main story starts there. I highlighted some parts to help your reading. Below is the Speech...

Permit me to start by thanking Chatham House for the invitation to talk about this important topic at this crucial time. When speaking about Nigeria overseas, I normally prefer to be my country’s public relations and marketing officer, extolling her virtues and hoping to attract investments and tourists. But as we all know, Nigeria is now battling with many challenges, and if I refer to them, I do so only to impress on our friends in the United Kingdom that we are quite aware of our shortcomings and are doing our best to address them.

The 2015 general election in Nigeria is generating a lot of interests within and outside the country. This is understandable. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, is at a defining moment, a moment that has great implications beyond the democratic project and beyond the borders of my dear country.

So let me say upfront that the global interest in Nigeria’s landmark election is not misplaced at all and indeed should be commended; for this is an election that has serious import for the world. I urge the international community to continue to focus on Nigeria at this very critical moment. Given increasing global linkages, it is in our collective interests that the postponed elections should hold on the rescheduled dates; that they should be free and fair; that their outcomes should be respected by all parties; and that any form of extension, under whichever guise, is unconstitutional and will not be tolerated.
