Davido pose with a rifle... Is he shooting?

So Nigeria music sensation Davido was photographed posing with a rifle. Though it's unconfirmed if the rifle was loaded, he was seen aiming a shot towards the sky.

It's alleged that he was handed the gun by a mobile police officer (See the photo).
This is certainly not for a music video and off course not a good example for those looking up to Davido.

White House & Capitol Building on Lockdown After Shooting

According to reports, a Capitol police officer shot a man who brandished a gun inside the Visitors Center of the Capitol complex. The suspect was not killed, and was being transported to a hospital for treatment. A female bystander was reportedly injured by shrapnel during the incident.

Officials put the Capitol and the White House on lock-down following the shooting. The annual Easter Egg Roll is being held on White House grounds.

Police said the suspect, Larry Russell Dawson, faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a police officer while armed. He underwent surgery and was in stable but critical condition Monday.

Once released from the hospital, the 66-year-old will be presented to the District of Columbia Superior Court, U.S. Capitol Police said.

Doyin Okupe gives his opinion on the Kachikwu & Femi Adesina controversies

Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan just gave his opinion on the Ibe Kachikwu and Femi Adesina controversies... 

It was reported that Minister of State Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu was allegedly quoted saying that he's not a magician that would stop Nigeria's fuel crisis... This alleged comment has brought lot of criticism against the Minister over his choice of words....

While on the other hand Femi Adesina (SSA to Buhari) made an absurd remark (See HERE) about power outage in the country and Nigerians are upset with his statement...

Read Doyin Okupe's view on the brouhaha

  

"On kachikwu and Adesina

I am not APC and NEVER will be.

I am not looking for employment and certainly not in an APC government. I Dont believe in APC, its leadership or policies.

But at my age, with the over 35yrs experience I have gathered in Nigerian politics and haven served in the Presidency twice, I believe I should at all times, try and share whatever little knowledge I may have towards helping to build a better Nation no matter who is at the helm of the affairs. 

Nigeria ,Nigerians and Stake holders cannot afford to standby allow errors to be made only to turn round later and use it for political gains.

Now back to the subject matter.

The Hon minister for petroleum appears to me to be strictly a professional CEO. I believe, from my little research of what he has silently done to restructure and refocus the company,that definitely he knows what he is doing. But he is completely in the dark when it comes to politics or information management. And this of necessity must be so. I will personally advice the minister to employ a good public relations man and a good communicator who manages the company's interface with the public and media. Let the minister do his job of policy formulation and executive management of the NNPC in which he appears supremely competent.

As for Mr femi Adeshina, he definitely made an unpardonable slip. But should we hang him for i? NO.!!

Being a spokeman for a government is not one of the best jobs you want to do especially in difficult times like this.

Many times you are overburdened by your passion and commitment for your principal and as a human being you simply flip when you find yourself in a tight spot. In my career I have flipped and slipped severally,that is why I understand where femi Is coming from.

When you work very closely with the number 1 citizen in the country and you are privy to his thoughts, actions, and challenges, it takes divine wisdom, maturity and forbearance to hold your own if you feel the public is not appreciative of all the efforts the government is making. The mistake we all make under these circumstances is that, members of the public are not privy to what is being done behind the scene and neither are they interested. All the people want to see is results not efforts.

I believe femi knows where he went wrong. I have known and interacted with him for several years. He is not haughty and would never have contrived to insult the sensibilities of the Nigerian public. It is a goal down but the game has just started"

Watch! "If some people are crying that they are in darkness, they should go and hold those who vandalize the installations" -- Femi Adesina

"If some people are crying that they are in darkness, they should go and hold those who vandalize the installations". 

Yes, that was the exact statement of Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari 

What an absurd statement coming from him.

Watch the interview he granted Channels TV... SMH

EXCLUSIVE: Former Miss Bumbum model who nearly died is now a "born again"

 

Only two years ago she was parading her breasts in front of the world's media after turning up topless to a Portugal team World Cup training session. 

Brazilian Miss Bumbum model Andressa Urach earned worldwide notoriety thanks to her scandalous antics, her frequent public nudity - and an alleged tryst with Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo. 

So perhaps it is not surprising that, among the 300 inmates gathered this morning inside a Sao Paulo women's prison, most seem aghast to know it is the same woman standing before them. 

Andressa weeps as, gripping a microphone, she tells the audience that, despite achieving the fame and fortune she had always craved, she always felt empty inside, and as much a prisoner as they are. 

And sobs are heard around the room as she describes the pain she had always kept hidden, how she was abused as a child, how her father rejected her at birth, was married aged 15, and the sordid years she spent selling her own body. 

If the model's humble confessions seem extraordinary coming from a woman once renowned for her arrogance, what happens next is almost impossible to imagine. 

Inviting forward any women who want prayer for 'deliverance from evil spirits', Andressa - who converted to Christianity after botched cosmetic surgery almost killed her - begins laying her hand on top of their heads.

Sharia Law: Indonesian woman caned in public for having sex outside marriage

Cowering on her knees after being whipped across the back, this Indonesian woman has just been caned in public for having sex outside marriage.

The young woman was brought to the public stage in Banda Aceh and forced down on to her knees by two guards.

 

A masked man then repeatedly canes her across the back as she clenches her fists and appears to bite her veil while receiving her punishment.

The woman can also been seen crying out in agony, and after the punishment is over, she has to be led away on a stretcher for treatment.

A public caning is just one of the punishments handed out to people breaking Sharia law in Banda Aceh, the only province in Indonesia, where it is still followed closely.

Sharia law is the legal system of Islam which is derived from both the Koran and the rulings of the religion's scholars.

It acts as a code that all Muslims are adhered to live to and include rules of prayers, fasting and donations to the poor and covers both public and private behaviour.

Pictures also show crowds gathering to watch another two men also receive the same punishment for having sex outside of marriage.

One man can be seen grimacing as the cane strikes his back while another tries to balance on crutches as he receives his punishment.

Islamic laws have been strengthened since the province struck a peace deal with the central government in 2005.

Last month, the local government banned Valentine's Day celebrations, including giving cards or chocolates, deeming it an 'unlawful act' under Sharia law.

Earlier this year, Banda Aceh also banned women from entertainment venues after 11pm unless they are accompanied by a husband or male family member.

In 2015, a district in Aceh enacted a bylaw requiring schools to teach boys and girls separately, and another banned women from straddling motorcycles when riding with a driver.

More than 90 per cent of Indonesians describe themselves as Muslim, but the vast majority practise a moderate form of the faith.

"Sharia law is the legal system of Islam which is derived from both the Koran and the rulings of the religion's scholars.

It acts as a code that all Muslims are adhered to live to and include rules of prayers, fasting and donations to the poor and covers both public and private behaviour.

Offences are divided into two categories - hadd offences, which a serious crimes with set penalties and tazir crimes, where punishment is left to the discretion of a judge.

Hadd offences include theft, which is punishable by the amputation of the offender's hand and adultery, which can result in being stoned to death.

Apostasy, or leaving the faith, is also against Sharia law and can also be punishable by death.

Other offences against Sharia law include denying Mohammed, gambling, drinking alcohol and a woman talking to a man, who is not her husband or relative."

Photos: Tears in Brussels as hundreds line city's streets to remember 34 victims killed in terror attacks

Tears spilled today as friends, family and strangers gathered in solidarity at Brussels' main square to hold vigils for loved ones lost in yesterday's terror attacks.

In heartbreaking images, a mother - known only as Sonia - held her two young children close as she wept for the victims at the city's Place de la Bourse.

Brussels remained defiant today as mourners broke out in a round of applause after the minute's silence held this morning at 12 noon local time.

Stoic Belgians gathered together in unity to support one another in the aftermath of yesterday's shocking attack on Zaventem Airport and a further bomb attack at Maelbeek Metro Station that left 34 dead and 200 injured.

On the Place de la Bourse, crammed with people and decked out with flags and flowers left by mourners, the crowd chanted: 'Long live Belgium', followed by 'Brussels above all'.

Buhari, Buratai will end up in jail for killing Biafra agitators – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, Ipob, a group agitating for the sovereign state of Biafra has boasted that at the end of the day, President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai will be jailed over several human rights abuses.

The group in a statement signed by its Spokespersons, Barrister Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya also berated the Defence Headquarters and President Buhari for inaugurating a committee that is expected to look into the various complaints on human rights abuses, saying such was a waste of the nation’s resources.

The group said the same government and the military being accused of violating several rights cannot be investigating the same matter.

Read full statement below:

On Monday, the 21st of March 2016, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters represented by General Abayomi Olonisakin inaugurated what it called a 12-man committee on human rights. It is not clear if the Defence Headquarters is acting based on Section-5(1) CAP A20 L.F.N. 2004 or that General Olonisakin is trying to save the life and career of the never-retiring Lt.-Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai who will end up at the prison yard, courtesy of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, just like his Commander-in-Chief, Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari would soon go to jail as well in The Hague for human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings. During the inauguration of the so-called human rights committee, General Olonisakin noted that “each member of the committee was invited to look into the complaints of human rights abuses levelled against the military” and “urged the committee to expand their focus beyond the North East, to also include other areas of contention including the issues emanating from clashes with the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and Rivers State election rerun amongst others.”

General Olonisakin also stated that the Armed Forces of Nigeria is “always guided by global best practices, Rules of Engagement (ROE) for military operations other than war as well as Codes of Conduct for internal security operations.” On the other hand, he warned that the Armed Forces “would not sacrifice professionalism on the platter of lawlessness or extra-judicial conducts of anybody or groups.” The terms of reference of this committee include “collation and documentation of written complaints, as well as investigation of all the alleged rights violations, interface with human rights bodies, recommend appropriate sanctions where necessary and advice generally on modalities to curtail violations of human rights by troops.”

It is very laughable that the so-called committee on human rights which was meant exclusively for the North-East of Nigeria was suddenly given the mandate to operate elsewhere in Nigeria as a face-saving measure to divert the attention of the public and the ICC from the upcoming criminal prosecution of Lt-Gen Buratai, Muhammadu Buhari, Solomon Ehigiator Arase, and other accomplices to the massacre of defenceless Biafrans which started seven weeks after the swearing-in of Buhari as Nigeria’s president. Is it possible for General Olonisakin to point at any report in the public domain from any committee that was set up to probe any of the killings in Biafraland? In 2013, some committees were set up by the Senate and the NBA to investigate the mass murder of Biafrans and dumping of their bodies in Ezzu River but the committees‘ reports were never made public. Even former Governor Peter Obi’s Ezzu River Autopsy Report is still hidden in government house at Awka.

On the other hand, how can the military be investigating crimes committed by itself and expect to get useful outcomes, in addition to the fact that this committee is not headed by a reputable Judge but rather the committee is mainly an assortment of retired and retarded members of Nigerian military? How can a murderer investigate his own crime? This is another waste of public funds in a country where the average citizen lives on less than half-dollar in a day.

Instead of spending so much money on logistics and other related expenses on this committee, we STRONGLY advice the Defence Headquarters to use this money to hire a formidable defence attorney who will defend them at the upcoming court case at the ICC. Perhaps, the attorney may be able to reduce by a few years, the imminent long jail terms for Buratai et al. Therefore the public should not be deceived by the red-herring strategy of General Olonisakin and his cohorts because Buratai and his co-murderers are prison-bound irrespective of the so-called committee on human rights.

This committee is nothing but a deceit and a charade!!!
