Stella Damasus: It’s Called A Breakup…

Accepting the dissolution of a relationship is just as difficult as accepting the dissolution of a business. When you think of all the time, energy, effort, resources and thoughts you put into the relationship, it hurts that it has to come to an end and you try to do whatever it takes to salvage it, but when would you know to pull the plug?When medical practitioners are performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), they apply manual pressure to the chest and blow air into the lungs through the mouth, mimicking the natural process of breathing in and breathing out, thereby circulating air into the bloodstream that carries it into the brain to avoid the risk of brain damage.Pressing too hard on the chest would break the diaphragm which could put a hole in the heart causing instant death or rupture an organ which could be critical or fatal.

Malam Nasir Elrufai, the pint sized former minister of the FCT and now CPC Chieftain who was a recipient of President Jonathan's sympathy when he lost his daughter last year has turned around to pay the President back in evil coin by mocking his wife's return and spreading lies about the First Lady.

In a note he put on his Facebook page ((https://www.facebook.com/nasirelrufai, Elrufai published claims that the First Lady completely ignored thousands of PDP women well wishers who had trooped to the airport to welcome the First Lady. The note claimed that "Mrs. Jonathan was eased into the official vehicle from the plane. She neither waved, acknowledged, nor addressed the hundreds of well-wishers waiting for her".

However, the First Lady was shown on television waving to well wishers and acknowledging greetings. She also gave an interview to newsmen. So where did Elrufai got the false information he has been spreading?

Wait!! Before You Marry That Your Igbo Girlfriend, You Have To Read This!!

Category : , , Off


Now, take note of the following, dear friend:

1. Forget Authority: If you were marrying a Yoruba woman, she would have come to your house with her mother’s voice ringing in her ears that a husband’s house is a place where life’s lessons are learnt. It’s a different story for the Igbo woman. She comes from a long line of ‘unruly’ people who traditionally have no concept of a central authority figure.  Prepare to be stared down eyeball to eyeball in an argument.
 Prepare to be laughed at when you attempt to assert yourself as the ‘man of the house.’ When she’s done laughing, she’ll measure you, up and down with her left, and sneer: ‘Hian! See this one o; who do you think you’re talking to?’ She’ll clap and shake her head, then she’ll add something in Igbo and then saunter away, wriggling her backside.  It isn’t for nothing that the legendary Aba Womens’ Riot happened in…ABA.

Sarkozy faces first lawsuit since immunity expired

Monday, 18 June 2012 Category : , Off

 

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was hit on Monday by the first formal legal complaint against him since his judicial immunity as head of state expired. The complaint came from a lawyer acting for victims of a 2002 bombing in Karachi that investigators believe may be linked to a long-running corruption and illegal party-financing case. France's constitution shields presidents from testifying, being investigated and prosecution until a month after their term is up, which for Sarkozy was on Friday.

 His immunity had kept him from being involved in probes into a submarine sale to Pakistan in the 1990s and, separately, into relations between him, his party and France's wealthiest woman. 

In the so-called "Karachi Affair", judges are trying to unravel dealings by middlemen and possible kickbacks linked to France's sale of Agosta class submarines to Pakistan. Investigators are looking into whether the sale was the source of illegal party financing during the 1995 presidential campaign. 

They are also investigating whether a 2002 bomb blast in Karachi that killed 11 French nationals was a reprisal for Paris' decision to stop paying commissions on the sale. A lawyer for the victims filed the complaint, accusing Sarkozy and his aides of illegally gaining access to elements of the inquiry, compromising investigators' independence. 

The lawyer, Olivier Morice, said an official denial by Sarkozy's office last September that he had any involvement in the case revealed that he was illegally privy to elements of the investigation even though he was not part of the probe.

 The presidential palace denied at the time that it had access to documents in the case, which was widely reported on by media and which cast a legal cloud over Sarkozy's unsuccessful bid for a second term. Sarkozy risks being entangled in a second, unrelated case in which investigators are looking into whether cash withdrawals from the account of L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt were used to finance Sarkzoy's 2007 campaign. 

Sarkozy's lawyer has handed over his 2007 diary to investigators to fight allegations that he visited Bettencourt during the campaign, Le Journal du Dimanche reported. Legal sources told the weekly publication that investigators were considering searching Sarkozy's house. Socialist Francois Hollande defeated Sarkozy last month, promising to boost growth, cut unemployment and rid state business of murky affairs which have dogged it in the past under both right and left-wing administrations.

Obodo: Police comb Effurun, Warri for kidnappers

Sunday, 10 June 2012 Category : , , Off

 The Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, yesterday, confirmed the abduction of Christian Obodo, when contacted by Sunday Vanguard, saying the police were combing for his kidnappers. The commissioner, however, noted, “The police are surprised at his abduction as Obodo did not inform us about his presence for adequate security to be provided for him”. 

 Obodo Aduba said, “We heard about the kidnap and we are not resting on our oars to track down the people that kidnapped him. If we could provide security for expatriates that come into the state, there is no way we could not have provided security for him if he had informed us”, he said. A security source said, “The Super Eagles player is a high profile Nigerian and easily a target for kidnappers in such places like Warri and Effurun , and what he should have done was to hint the police about his visit so that they could keep an eye on him to avoid what had just happened. 

 It was gathered that Obodo who was born in Warri on 11 May, 1984, came to Warri to reunite with some old friends and had attended different clubs on Friday night with friends. Some informants, believed to be working for a kidnap gang, who witnessed how he showed off in one of the clubs, contacted the kidnappers who tailed him Saturday morning and abducted him, while cruising in his customized car. Security was beefed up in Warri and environs after the incident as the police patrolled different parts of the city in search of the footballer.

 It is believed that those who knew Obodo very organized his abduction on Jakpa Road, Effurun, to fleece money from him, but as at press time, it is not known if they had mentioned any ransom. His car was reportedly abandoned around New Layout area, also in Effurun by the gunmen to avoid detection, but his whereabouts were not known.

 A top security official confided to Sunday Vanguard, “We don’t believe that those who kidnapped Obodo came from the moon, they are around us, they may not even have left town, they could be keeping him somewhere within and around the state to ask for ransom later, so we are not going to take chances”. “They would want to keep him in a place they think is secure before they begin to ask him to call his family and associates for ransom, but we strongly advise that such information should be passed to security agents to enable us track them down”, he said.

2015: Buhari, Tinubu bury ambitions, to anoint candidate

Category : , , , , Off

 Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, presidential candidate in the April 2011 election, General Muhammadu Buhari, and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, may have agreed to bury their differences and aspirations as the CPC and ACN rapprochement continues to gather momentum. The two met in Kaduna at the residence of Buhari last Thursday. 

Both men also drove together to Kano to the waiting embrace of a mammoth crowd. It was gathered, at the weekend, that discussions between both men centred on how to proceed preparatory to the 2015 general elections. Of specific concern, Sunday Vanguard was told by a source privy to the meeting, was the issue of presenting a “united front for the presidential engagement”. 

 Although talks are still on, the source said that one of the first steps to be taken by each of the parties “would be the movement towards the centre”. To this end, both men are said to be disposed to a compromise that “would see each relegating his ambition for the common good of the proposed alliance”. If all goes well, both men, according to our source, would seek and anoint candidates for the presidential election.

 In fact, the reason both leaders have decided to commence talks in earnest is “just so they would avoid the type of last minute rancour that led to the collapse of talks last year”, a source said. It would be recalled that last-minute efforts by the ACN and CPC to forge an alliance for last year’s presidential election collapsed. The inability of each of the party’s leaders to subsume their ambitions led to the collapse of the talks.

Tomb of Jesus Christ uncovered

Tuesday, 17 April 2012 Category : , , Off

Though Easter is well out of the way till next year, the celebrant is still stirring up controversy. Archaeologists working in Jerusalem, claim to have found a discovery inside a burial tomb, dating back to the time of Jesus Christ that could shed more light on the origins of Christianity. 

 The team of Archaeologists which comprised of controversial filmmaker Jacobovici with three Emmys for outstanding Investigative Journalism and his archaeology team and Biblical historian Professor James Tabor of the University of North Carolina are convinced that several pieces of evidence found in the tomb, including a 2,000- year –old engraving on the side of the burial site, human bone boxes, the close proximity to the burial site in the 1980s containing the remains of Jesus family all points to the authenticity of their claim. 

 The find is 200ft away from an earlier discovery known as the Jesus Family Tomb, which caused a lot of controversy after it was uncovered in the 1980s. Archaeologists then claimed it contained ossuaries inscribed with names associated with Jesus's family. This discovery ignited the theory that Mary Magdalene was buried alongside Jesus and he had married and raised a family with her.

 However many leading theologians were quick to quash such claims. The Jesus Family Tomb could not be properly examined due to protest by Orthodox Jews. The site was sealed up and a tower block built over it. Determined to continue the research, Professor Tabor teamed up with film maker Jacobovici. The pair obtained permission from the Israeli government to explore the area. 

The researchers, who believe the tombs are located in a land that was owned by Joseph of Arimathea at the time, claims this site is unique because they found a limestone box known as an ossuarie with an inscription and another box carrying a drawing of a fish with a stick figure in its mouth which Professor Tabor believes to refer to the story of Jonah and the Whale. The limestone carries a Greek inscription and is open to interpretation as meanings of words could be lost during translation. 

 The interpretation so far are; "O Divine Jehovah, raise up, raise up" or "The Divine Jehovah raises up to the Holy Place" or "The Divine Jehovah raises up from." Professor Tabor said 'this inscription has something to do with resurrection of the dead, either of the deceased in the ossuary, or perhaps, given the Jonah image nearby, an expression of faith in Jesus' resurrection. The ossuary with the image that Tabor and his team understand to be representing Jonah also has other interesting engravings. 

These also may be connected to resurrection, Tabor notes. On one side is the tail of a fish disappearing off the edge of the box, as if it is diving into the water. There are small fish images around its border on the front facing, and on the other side is the image of a cross-like gate or entrance—which Tabor interprets as the notion of entering the 'bars' of death, which are mentioned in the Jonah story in the Bible. The high tech excavation was done using a camera mounted on a robotic arm, so as to explore the ancient burial site without disturbing anything.

 Speaking about his feelings during the excavation, Professor Tabor said "It's almost like a moonscape feeling of something eerie, something kind of silent- a reverent feeling really," Because these people died 2,000 years ago and now we are investigating their last memories, how they bury their dead, what they left behind, so that was there and then the excitement of, 'Well will there be something we'll find or will we find just another Jewish tomb'?" Though Professor Tabor and his team are certain they have discovered Jesus final resting place and his remains, however, other scholars are extremely sceptical. 

Mark Goodacre, an associate professor of religious studies at Duke University, who specialises in the New Testament, told ABC News that the fish engraving is actually no such thing. He said: 'When is a fish not a fish? When it has handles, matching handles. It's a vessel. It's a vase. It's a vase that looks like many of the ones that you'll find in the early Roman period.' He added that there is no firm evidence relating to Jesus in either tomb.

 He also thinks that Tabor and his team heads are "full of DaVinci Code," referring to the 2003 mystery novel written by Dan Brown about the descendants of Jesus Concurring is University of Iowa assistant professor of classics and religious studies Robert Cargill who thinks the story is bogus, saying that there are "clearly handles on the top of the so-called ‘Jonah fish' image. No credible scholar except those that work with or for Simcha on this or some other project believe his conclusions… The evidence does not support their sensational claims. But that doesn't stop them from wanting it to be true, so in their minds, it's true."
