NEWS - NDLEA Arrests Man With Drugs Worth N31m At Lagos Airport

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDnternational Airport in Lagos.LEA) has arrested a South African based Nigerian, Abiodun Israel Banjo, for the possession of methamphetamine at the Murtala Mohammed I

In a statement by its spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju, the agency said Banjo was arrested during the screening of South Africa bound passengers.

According to the statement, the parcels of methamphetamine weighed 3.435kgs with an estimated street value of N31 million in Nigeria.

NDLEA commander at the Abuja airport, Ahmadu Garba while speaking on the arrest said officials of the anti-narcotics agency discovered methamphetamine in Banjo’s bags during a luggage check.
He said the drugs were hidden under clothing and food items. Mr. Garba said the suspect was immediately arrested while investigations were ongoing.

“I work in Pretoria. My friend in South Africa called me saying that his brother would give me two bags containing foodstuff to take to him. He also promised to give me two thousand dollars. I opened the bags and checked thoroughly, but could not find anything criminal. That was how I accepted to take the bags,” Banjo explained.

“I was surprised when the drug was detected under the bags. I feel very sad that my friend has implicated me,” he said.

NDLEA Chief Executive Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah has said the suspect would be charged to court.

NEWS - Top Military Expert warns that Britain is ‘totally ill-equipped’ to deal with Russian nuclear threat and could be ‘wiped out’

A top military expert has warned that the UK is ill equipped and not prepared for a nuclear war if Russia decides to engage them, hence the region will be wiped out if Putin decides at any point in time to go on the offensive against them.

Britain and Russia don't have the best of International relationships right now and reports indicate that Russia's military have the capacity and strength to walk over NATO's forces in the event of an agression.

 Dr Andrew Foxall, director of Russian studies at influential think-tank The Henry Jackson Society told Daily Star Online: "As things stand, the UK is ill-equipped to deal with Russia.

"There is an urgent need to strengthen not only the UK’s defences, but those of NATO members as a whole.

"The alliance simply isn’t doing enough to build up the range of capabilities necessary to deter an aggressive and resurgent Russia."

Dr Foxall believes that the West's shift to focus on terrorism and conflicts in the Middle East over recent years has meant our traditional military capabilities have suffered.

He added: "For almost two decades, the UK, with its NATO partners, has focused on counterinsurgency warfare.

"The military has been up against lightly armed insurgent forces, rather than conventional state-on-state warfare.

"This very different form of war has introduced logistics systems, training, exercises, equipment, and priorities quite different from those required to respond to a Russian threat."

Russian forays in Georgia, Ukraine and now Syria have proved that they could decide to provocate UK by foraying into British territory too, Dr Foxall says.

"Russia’s Air Force bombers are frequently intercepted by RAF jets in close proximity of UK airspace.

"Russia’s warships often sail near British waters.

"And Russia’s submarines have attempted to record the ‘acoustic signature’ made by the Vanguard submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles."

"More alarmingly, in 2008, a Russian Tu-160 “Blackjack” bomber carried out a dummy nuclear attack on northern England", he said.

"Flying towards Hull, the bomber came within 20 miles of British airspace before turning away.

"While the chances of war between Russia and the UK seem rather low, it remains a possibility Russia will prepare for it – and Moscow has been doing so for some time."

NEWS - Forget about Biafra - President Buhari tells agitators

President Buhari yesterday asked agitators of Biafra to forget the plan. Speaking with some NYSC members, particularly those from the south East, who paid him a visit at his home in Daura, Katsina state yesterday, President Buhari said

“Tell your colleagues who want Biafra to forget about it. As a military commander, I walked from Degem, a border town between the north and the east, to the border between Cameroons and Nigeria.
I walked on my foot for most of the 30 months that we fought the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, in which at least 2 million Nigerians were killed. We were made by our leaders to go and fight Biafra not because of money or oil, because oil was not critical factor then, but because of one Nigeria. So if leaderships at various levels failed, it was not the fault of the rest of Nigerians who have no quarrel with one another. So please tell your colleagues that we must be together to build this country. It is big enough for us and potentially big enough in terms of resources. Those who work hard will earn a respectable living. I have seen this country, I fought for this country and I will continue to work for the unity of this country,’’he said.

SPORTS - Balotelli failed at Liverpool because of ‘Gerrard’s jealousy’ says El Hadji Diouf

Balotelli’s torrid time at Anfield came to an end on transfer deadline day when he moved to Nice on a free transfer.

The Italian striker made the perfect start at his new club by scoring twice on his debut for the Ligue 1 side on Sunday in the 3-2 victory over Marseille.

Diouf isn’t surprised by how well Balotelli has started and believes if Gerrard hadn’t had so much influence at Liverpool he would have been a success on Merseyside.

‘I told him not to go to Liverpool. It wasn’t made for him, that things couldn’t go well with Gerrard, who has never had his talent and then said negative things about him,’ he told L’Equipe.

‘Gerrard is a jealous man who doesn’t like men of character. Mario is a good person that you should listen to. He’s not a guy who’s going to cause problems in the dressing room.

‘There are a lot of things that have been made up about him. People tell tales about him, but they’re often a load of rubbish.’

Balotelli supported Diouf’s claim that Anfield was wasted on him by saying after scoring on his debut that moving to Liverpool was the ‘worst mistake of my life’.

Diouf, who spent three years at Anfield, has previously spoken of his dislike of Gerrard.

In 2012, the former Senegal international, then a Leeds United player, suggested that the midfielder only thought about himself.

‘Gerrard was jealous of me back then (in 2002 when Diouf moved to Liverpool from Lens) as I had the world at my feet. There’s no one more selfish… he doesn’t care about anyone else,’ he said.

‘Gerrard would rather Liverpool lost and he scored. The old Liverpool guys can’t stand him. I won’t even start with [Jamie] Carragher.’

VIEWPOINTS - Fr Mbaka blasts President Buhari, I am yet to see any change, accuses President Buhari's aides of working against him

Controversial Enugu Catholic priest, and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has accused some of the aides of President Buhari of working against him so that the change he promised during the elections would not be accomplished. 

The clergy man made the allegations when he spoke with some newsmen during the graduation of Niger Delta youths who trained at Innoson Plastic Factory under Federal Government’s Amnesty Programme. According to him, he is yet to see any change in government as promised by the current administration.

“I am talking about change from corruption to moral probity, a time Nigeria will become a country that is worthy of emulation, that internationally when you mention Nigeria, Nigerians shall begin to smile. I am talking about change that is beyond embezzlement of funds meant for the development of the people and country. Only few people who call themselves politicians will be stealing the money and whatever they are doing with it nobody knows. The poor masses are dying and they are enriching themselves wickedly calling themselves politicians, so, such team of people should be changed and if some of them are still remaining and they want to come back, I still pray that the broom of God will sweep them out because Nigeria must move forward. These people are wicked, they are not Nigerians per say, I don’t know where their blood came from because they are not representing us; they are representing themselves and the devil that is using them. If you know the pattern of their regime, the way they move and the way they truncate the activities that will be for the wellness of the poor masses, you’ll know that some of them are possessed and they need deliverance before they enter that seat.”he said

He alleged that some of the people working in the Buhari led administration were part of past governments who milked Nigeria dry

“The government we are experiencing is not yet a Buharinised government.
Many people who are in different strategic positions are still the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) people and Buhari may not even know and even some people who are working around him are working to pull him down. Buhari means well, Buhari is a good man, Buhari is God-sent for this country but, I am telling you that there are crocodiles in the fish pond. Buhari may not know that he is feeding not the fish in the fishpond but crocodiles that are even feeding on the fishes!”he said

Mbaka however stated that it was too early for the Buhari administration to be assessed. 

“Many are complaining that Buhari has not started changing everything, Buhari is not a magician. Like I used to tell people, somebody had been cooking in the kitchen for six years and he did not feed us well and just few months ago, somebody entered the same kitchen and all of us want him to cook a very wonderful delicious soup whereby his water is still in the pot. He has not started putting ingredients and people are testing the water and saying he cannot cook well. Let us give him a chance to pour the whole ingredients into the pot and when he is done with cooking, we can now judge him. It is too early to judge a man who has just entered few months ago, remember, even the budget is being attacked, padding or no padding and some people want to baptise criminal fraudulent machination with the name padding as a non criminal offence. So, when you steal money that is in billions, it is padding and that one is a no offence? But catch a poor man that steals a phone of N20, 000, he will be burnt alive.”

He urged Nigerians to be prayerful to counter the activities of those he said were plotting to break the country and take over power.

“Nigerians should go on their knees and pray for divine intervention because apart from God, we are going to see horrible things. The way these people are ganging up, they want to break Nigeria and take over power and take us back to where we were coming from. I pray it shall be well with Nigeria and it shall be well with Nigerians.”he said

NEWS - Indonesian villagers dig up dead relatives from the grave and give them makeovers (photos)

A village known as Toraja in South Sulawesi, Indonesia practices what many will term ‘the most bizarre’ ritual ever as villagers every three years dig up the corpses of loved ones and give them make overs in an event called the ‘Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses’. As part of the zombie ceremony, even the skeletons of children are exhumed, damaged coffins are fixed or replaced before the mummies are walked around the area by following a path of straight lines during the ritual.

Herman Tandi, 32 dug up the skeletons of his grand parents Jesaya Tandibua and Yakolina Namanda, brushed their hair and wore them wedding suits. 
In another part of the village, another family dug up the skeleton of their relative, an army veteran that’s been buried for ten years, and then dressed him in army uniform for the ceremony also known as Ma’nene ritual before taking ‘family’ pictures with him. 

Another man’s skeleton, Paul Sampe Lumba, who has been dead for seven years, was given glasses, a tie and a striped blazer so he could look good in the family photo while Ne’Tampo, dead for 30 years receives his own make over .   

The villagers have an ancient belief that a person’s spirit must return to their place of origin so the more they go to the morgue, the better.   

The kind of stories that come out from Asia tho!

NEWS - Police arrest two little boys aged 10 and 7 for allegedly raping & killing a 1 year old girl in Cameroon

Two little boys have been arrested for allegedly raping and killing a one year old girl in Cameroon. Police in Kumbe Balindo, Ndian Division in the South West region of the country paraded the boys, aged 7 and 10, who shockingly admitted to the act. But in what world can a 7 year old boy have erection enought to rape? What nonsense?

According to Cameroon Intelligence Report, after raping the girl, the little boys forced her body into a pit latrine and then hit her with a stick until she died. However, a traditional ruler in the area is of the opinion that 'the young boys cannot get an erection and are not capable of destroying the late baby’s private as medical reports indicated.'

Some also believe that someone is possibly using the children to 'hide a ritual crime.
