Photo: Footballer kicked off team for having sex with fan during match

Lol. Oloshi man. He couldn't wait till after the match and take her to a hotel or something. British footballer Jay Hart, 24, was kicked out of his team, Clitheroe FC, after he was filmed having sex with a willing female fan he met during a football match. 

Jay, who wasn't playing, was approached by the female fan. And after chatting for a few minutes, Jay, who has a girlfriend, took the lady to the manager dugout, pulled down his pants and started having sex with her. Another fan caught the action on a cell phone.

When the video went viral on social media, He was fired by his club. Club chairwoman Anne Barker told the media; “Jay Hart has been dismissed from the club. I can't have somebody wearing the Clitheroe FC tracksuit bringing us down. It has brought the club into disrepute and it's not proper for him to scupper our reputation. I expect our players to act professionally. We expect a certain level of behaviour and discipline. And that wasn’t it.". Read Jay's apology after the cut...

Islamic State Accepts Boko Haram's Alliance Request

The Islamic State group has welcomed a pledge of allegiance to it made by the Nigerian terrorist organisation Boko Haram, according to an audiotape Thursday purportedly from its spokesman.
“We announce to you to the good news of the expansion of the caliphate to West Africa because the caliph… has accepted the allegiance of our brothers of the Sunni group for preaching and the jihad,” IS spokesman Mohammed al-Adnani said in the message, using the Arabic name for Boko Haram.
Itself a radical Sunni Muslim movement, IS has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic “caliphate” there, and has also drawn expressions of allegiance from jihadists in Egypt and Libya.
On Saturday, an audiotape attributed to Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said “we announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi,” referring to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Shekau has previously mentioned Baghdadi in video messages yet stopped short of pledging formal allegiance.
But there have been increasing signs that the Nigerian militants, whose six-year insurgency has claimed more than 13,000 lives and left 1.5 million people homeless, have been seeking a closer tie-up.
IS spokesman Adnani urged Muslims to join militants in West Africa and insisted that the caliphate was growing.
“Our caliphate is resisting and it is advancing in the right direction. We are fighting the Crusaders and the rafidah (Shiites) and day by day the Islamic State is becoming strong,” he said.
He insisted that the jihadist group is “sure of its victory” regardless of the challenges it is facing.
For months, IS has been targeted with air strikes from a coalition led by the United States and suffered territorial setbacks in Syria and Iraq.
And Iraqi government forces have closed on the city of Tikrit this week in a bid to retake it from the group.

APC To Attack President Jonathan Though Documentary - Fani-Kayode

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) on Wednesday, March 11, said that leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are planning to attack President Goodluck Jonathan’s private life through a video documentary.
The organization also listed a number of questions to the APC presidential candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), that allegedly could disqualify him from the presidential race if answered.
According to the Vanguard, Director, Media and Publicity of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said to the journalists in Abuja,that the APC leaders with the financial support of two serving governors and a former state governor are planning to put in place a documentary about the private lives of President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, and Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Reportedly, Fani-Kayode described the move to air the documentary as despicable, wicked, with the sole aim of scandalising, undermining and bringing into disrepute the president and others. He also added: “The documentary is riddled with falsehood and it is vulgar, smutty, cheap, shameful and salacious.”
Fani-Kayode also spoke about the threat by the APC to drag Dame Patience Jonathan before the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC). According to him, “no individual is ever taken to the ICC based on what he or she has said unless and until people act on those words and massacre others”.

The former Head of State, who spoke through the vice presidential candidate of the APC, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at an inter-faith engagement in Kaduna, said, “And they have succeeded in making some of us victims of the tales which they invent, propagate and sell as gospel truth to gullible listeners; while it is all nothing but tissues of lies.”
“I would like to solemnly declare that in spite of what detractors say, I am not a religious fanatic of any sort and I have never been.
“In all my life, I have never supported extremism of any kind, and nowhere in my record of service to our nation can this false toga, which political traducers have tried so hard to put on me, be substantiated

How Important Virginity Is To A Happy Marriage

Growing up, a woman’s virginity was such a big issue and a high value was placed on it.
From time immemorial, a woman’s virginity has been seen as one of her most prized possessions and a certain respect was accorded to any woman who remained a virgin till marriage.
But with modernization came a new school which places less value on a woman’s virginity. These days, virginity is even seen as a curse. Girls have no qualms losing it to the first man that comes their way.
In the days of old, a maiden was expected to go into marriage as a virgin. If on the first night after the marriage her husband discovered she was not a virgin, her family gets instant condemnation.
But civilization has substantially changed the way people perceive virginity. Today, there’s so much pressure on girls to gain sexual experience before getting married as some men do not want to marry a woman with no sexual experience.
Most girls who have friends that are already sexually active feel left out when they are discussing their experiences, hence the urge to also experiment for themselves.
Virgins are really very scarce these days as majority loose it even before the age of 20. Some girls even compete among themselves who would be the first to lose her virginity.
But what is the big deal about virginity? Could it be the secret to a happy marriage?

Jarred then called the NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service and they sent a snake handler to deal with an animal. “He asked if we minded if put the snake back in our garden which we didn’t. The snake wouldn’t fall out of the box so he had to rip it and the whole snake dropped out.  He was more surprised when he saw it properly because he said it actually looked about two metres long.”

Electricity Meters' Price Goes Up, Read Why

The cost of acquiring a prepaid electricity meter in Nigeria has surprisingly risen!
Electricity Meters' Price Goes Up, Read Why
Prepaid Meters
This is said to be a s a result of the fall in the value of the naira following the currency’s recent devaluation by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Before now,  the single-phase meter was sold for N25,000 as against the latest price, N39,375. Also, the three-phase meter which now goes for N60,909 sold for N50,000 before now.
This 56 per cent and  20 per cent sharp increase goes to show that users of the single-phase meters will incure more expenses pay more for the devices in relative terms compared to the users of the three-phase meters. Punch made it known that the increase in price of the meters came about due to the fact that the meters in the Nigerian electricity market were imported and that the rising exchange rate of the naira to the United States dollar was posing a huge problem to importers of the product.

If not Keshi, get Mourinho, Guardiola – Minister

“What I have urged the NFF to do is to make sure that should Keshi not be given the job, a coach with a lesser pedigree than Keshi should not be employed. I have said we should encourage our local coaches,” Danagogo said.
“Many have argued that presently Keshi is the best we have for now, while others are of the view that he has done his best.
“What I am saying is this, if Keshi declines the job, let’s look for another competent hand from the home front. But if we must get a foreign coach, then we must get the best hands not just any foreign coach.”
He added: “And when we say the best hands, we should be looking at coaches in the class of the Jose Mourinho’s of this world, Pep Guardiola… Those are the kind of coaches we should be looking at.
“But if we say Keshi is the best hand locally, I am not saying we should give him the job, but what we can do is help our local hands get better by sending them to refresher courses to make them better.”

PDP govs kick as INEC insists on card readers

ABUJA— The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, yesterday endorsed last weekend’s trial run on the card readers and resolved to use the device for the forthcoming general elections.
The INEC stance nonetheless, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors were last night locked in a meeting in Lagos where they were articulating strong objections to the use of the device.

The PDP governors, who had erstwhile deputy national chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George and other stalwarts in attendance at the meeting, Vanguard learnt, were also raising issues on the term of INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega.
Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, who was present, canvassed at the beginning of the meeting that Jega should leave office three months to the end of his tenure in accordance with public service rules.
The endorsement of the card reader was given at a meeting of the 12 national commissioners of the commission at INEC headquarters in Abuja. The meeting was presided over by INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega.
Yesterday’s meeting came ahead of further preparatory meetings with the 37 Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, who are in charge of the 36 states of the federation and Abuja.
The use of the card reader had divided the political class with the two major political parties taking divergent positions on the device. INEC claims the cards would stop multiple voting by ensuring that only possessors of the Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, can vote at voting points where the PVCs are programmed to.

Why Buhari will not agree to a debate with Jonathan -

IN all my years of studying elections, I have never seen a campaign as bogus as that of Muhammadu Buhari. It is amazing that, for a man who is running for election as president for a marathon fourth time, Buhari is so bereft of ideas as to how he would do anything if he were to become president. Campaigning in 35 states, Buhari has spoken for a total of less than 60 minutes in all. Surely, he wants to be president; but he clearly has no presidential agenda.

Buhari’s blueprint for the presidency is similar to his Cambridge/WASC certificate; it is yet to be discovered. It is an article of faith of things hoped for by his admirers, the evidence of things neither seen nor articulated. No man becomes president of Nigeria on the basis of vain platitudes. No man becomes president as a result of social media blogs and soundbites. No man becomes president by giving two-minute speeches in craftily-packaged rallies, one minute of which is spent introducing his entourage.
Empty promises
What would Buhari do differently to fight Boko Haram? He would study the situation and restore morale to the military. What would he do to restore the economy? He would increase the international price of oil single-hahnded. What would he do to create jobs? He would build interstate highways in the middle of a drastic slump in Nigeria’s income in order to energise motor-mechanics and bukaterias.
Buhari says:

How Toddler Survives Boko Haram's Bombing In Maiduguri

A boy whose parents were apparently killed by the Boko Haram terrorists bombing in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, has survived the bombing.

The toddler, whose name is yet to be known, is one of the victims of three separate bomb blasts that ripped through crowded areas of Maiduguri on Saturday, March 7, 2015.
The photograph of the baby was revealed moments ago on Twitter by a resident of Maiduguri, who assisted in the rescue efforts at one of the scenes of the three blasts.
Those who rescued the baby alive say it is either the parents were in one of the markets to sell or buy commodities, but did not return home in one piece.
It was learnt that the first attack happened at the popular Baga Park.

The lucky toddler who survived Maiduguri bomboing.
A young lady was said to have alighted from a tricycle and detonated the improvised explosive device on her while the tricycle rider haggled with her over the transport fare she had refused to pay.
This first blast was said to have killed many men, few women and children.
The second blast occurred about one hour later at a different area of Maiduguri just like the third one.
As at Monday, the death toll was put at 62 while scores of other residents sustained various degrees of injuries.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of Nigerians mainly in the North-eastern part of the country since its members commenced ferocious attacks on communities, towns and villages in some states in 2009.

shettima-set-chibok-girls-says-fani-kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode, the director of media and publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), has berated Kashim Shettima, governor of Borno state, for allegedly ignoring security reports and the counsel of the federal government against holding the 2014 May/June West African Examination Council (WAEC) at Chibok. Fani-Kayode stated that “the abducted Chibok schoolgirls would have been saved the ordeal to which they have been subjected these past 329 days had the governor taken the advice and acted in accordance with the security reports that the town was not safe for the examinations.” He told Shettima to be ready for investigation and prosecution after leaving office if found complicit in the circumstances that led to the abduction of the girls. In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Sufuyan Ojeifo,  his special assistant on media, in response to Shettima’s “attack” on Fani-Kayode over his comment on the fate of the Chibok girls the PDPPCO spokesman was quoted to have said: “Shettima will not be governor forever and when he is no longer in office, his role in the Chibok affair would be investigated and, if found wanting, he would be prosecuted”. He accused the governor of reflecting the thinking of his party “over the whole mess that his insensitivity allowed to happen.” “The governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima is the most irresponsible, insensitive and callous governor in Nigeria. He is a wicked man whose mindset reflects the thinking of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

PDP thugs hold Sambo hostage

Some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thugs in Kano state on Monday held Vice-President Namadi Sambo hostage for almost 30 minutes to protest against neglect of “their services” by the party. The incident happened at the old campus of Bayero University Kano (BUK) at the end of the vice-president’s official engagement. A witness who narrated the event to TheCable said dozens of heavily-armed men beat Sambo’s security cover and circled around him, chanting Bamayi! Bamayi!! Bamayi!!! (we are no longer with you) and Mungaji da aiki banza “we are tired of this job). It took the intervention of Tambari Yabo, an assistant inspector-general of police, for the thugs to disarm themselves and settle for dialogue. “The thugs complained bitterly that they were putting their lives on the line to keep the party alive in the state, yet they were not being paid. Instead, state leaders of the party were only making unfulfilled promises,” the witness said. “The vice president was released after he directed the party to attend to their needs to avoid a repeat of such public embarrassment.” The thugs subsequently joined the vice-president’s convoy, which headed to other parts of the city for other engagements.
