EAGLES EYE UPDATE

It was like a scene from a horror movie when a popular ‘happening babe’ of the University of Nairobi, Kenya, turned into a big snake few minutes after a man said to be her sugar daddy, dropped her at her hostel residence. Narrating the chilling incident, one of the victim’s close friends who witnessed the scenario said: “Everything happened so quickly, she had just alighted from the vehicle and I saw her walk into her room. I was on my way to her room when I heard her screaming. I quickly pushed the door open an behold I saw her turning into a snake, on her bed, right before my very own eyes.” Reacting to the news, authorities of the University of Nairobi has given strict warning to the female students of the Institution to avoid going out with strangers in order to avert a recurrence of a similar case. I hope they listen! Meanwhile security operatives are currently searching for the suspected man, while the eye witness has been remanded in custody for further interrogation. In a

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that the country’s power generation has increased from 3,810 megawatts recorded on Sept. 8, 2016 to 4,285.90 megawatts on Friday. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the power generation record was reported in the website of “Nigerian Electricity System Operator’’ on Friday. TCN said that 4,285.90 megawatts was the total output by power generation companies, and had been transferred to the 11 distribution companies across the country. Electricity generation in the country has been stable in the last two months, rising from about 2, 983 megawatts to over 4, 000 megawatts. Although power has improved, many parts of the country have remained with supply owing to problems with the distribution companies, including provision of pre-payment meters. Acting Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr Anthony Akah, had recently disclosed that no fewer than four million electricity consumers in the country were

Former First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan has picked holes in the authenticity of the representatives of the four companies who pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of money laundering at a Federal High Court in Lagos, presided over by Justice Babs Kuewumi. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants told the court through their counsel that their clients were challenging the validity of the representatives of Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited; and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited on the basis that they failed to produce a letter of authority to represent the companies as required under section 477 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

While Dudafa and the two others pleaded not guilty, th

The group made the threat via a new video posted on YouTube on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. Terrorist sect, Boko Haram has threatened to capture President Muhammadu Buhari. The group made the threat via a new video posted on YouTube on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. The video shows a group of terrorists observing prayers in commemoration of the recently concluded Eid-el-Kabir festival. “This is our eid prayer from us and by the support of our leader Imam Abubakar Al-Shekau. We are extending our greetings to our people and fighters,” the terrorists said according to Premium Times. “Message to the infidels and the leader of the entire infidels (kafir) who is the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, that he should know we are very strong and doing very good. “By the will of Allah under the leadership of our leader (Shekau) will capture Buhari with our hands,” they added. The video comes exactly one month after Boko Haram released a clip showing a group of the abducted Chibok girls

Fani-Kayode said all the crashes between 2005 and 2006 were prearranged and the victims were sacrifices. Former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the deaths of prominent Nigerian pastor, late Bimbo Odukoya and 452 other plane crash victims were man-made and planned. Bimbo Odukoya died after a Sosoliso Airlines crash in December 2005 and according to Fani-Kayode all the crashes that occurred between 2005 and 2006 were prearranged and the victims were sacrifices. The ex-minister made the claims via a post on his Facebook page. Read the post below: Most of our leaders are not human. They are what Mr. David Icke, the famous British historian and public speaker describes as "hybrids" and "reptilians" who are working for a hidden hand and some very dark and sinister forces. It is in that context that you can understand their exceptional callousness. They are cold-blooded reptiles and certified psychopaths. Between 2005 and 2006, just before I was rede

Chief of Defence Staff, Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin A faction of Boko Haram loyal to Abubakar Shekau has released a new video in which it threatened to capture or kill President Muhammadu Buhari. The sect also threatened to deal with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai. The video was viewed by one of our correspondents in Abuja on Wednesday. It showed a large number of members of the terrorist group observing what they claimed was their  Eid-el-Kabir  prayer at an undisclosed location. The unnamed leader of the group who led the prayers was dressed in a white-flowing gown and black turban. He held an AK 47 rifle. He addressed the crowd in the Arabic and Hausa languages. The speaker declared the sect’s continued allegiance to Shekau after which he vowed on behalf of other members to continue to unleash terror on Nigerians. In a direct message to President Buhari, the sect’s leader who did not give his name said, “This is a message to the leader of the infidels (Presid

…Budget Office stopped initial payment, not me   – Gana Respite has come the way of officers and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), as plans to commence the immediate payment of the initially stopped ‘Shift Allowance’ as well as the long awaited  ‘promotion arrears’ have been concluded. The Commandant-General of the Corps, Abdullahi Muhammadu Gana gave the hint at a meeting with top management team, Zonal and State Commandants of the Corps at its National Headquarters, Abuja. Gana who blamed the allegation that he embezzled funds allocated for payment of officers’ incentives on misinformation said contrary to the claims,  ‘Shift Allowance’ was stopped by the Office of Budget, Salary  and Wages Commission on June, 2015, but  that with his intervention and a recent  directive by  Mr. President, through the minister of interior, the order has been reversed. On the issue of ‘Promotion Arrears’, he said payment was not made earlier due to the Verification and

Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has sounded a warning that the naira could become totally worthless at the international stage if the status quo is maintained.  Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja, he complained that the consumption of rice by Nigerians is on the rise and that a lot of people were not aware that rice had some degree of arsenic. Substituting the excess rice with potato would be welcomed development, he said. He also said Nigerian businessmen demanded 2.5 billion dollars (about N492 billion) a week for importation of goods and services into the country. “The volume of importation of virtually everything into this country is too much," he said. “We sat and were hoping that by devaluation, we are going to arrive at Eldorado; if we continue like this, it will be a thousand naira to a dollar,’’ he said.

Nigeria has inaugurated a e-Health Steering Committee to bring up strategies to address the challenges facing the health sector. The national e-Health structure is to coordinate, guide and monitor e-Health implementations, including setting rules, policies, guidelines and standards to guide stakeholders. Health minister Isaac Adewole inaugurated the committee expected to address some of the challenges which included data collection and management, human resource and universal health coverage. Adewole said the government was intervening to address these problems through multipronged approaches despite limited resources. The minister explained that Information and Communication Technology would be deployed to help mitigate some of these challenges. ‘’We see technology playing a critical role in achieving government’s target of making 10,000 Primary Healthcare Centres functional across the country in the next 2 years.’’ Adewole observed that the rapid growth and penetration of ICT h

The South African Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande has announced plans to have witchcraft included in the curriculum from 2018. Speaking to representatives from student unions around the country, the minister announced the shocking move and urged future university entrees to consider taking Witchcraft. “There is a lot we can learn from witchcraft, like how they fly in that winnowing basket. Imagine if we learn that skill. It will eradicate traffic jams and everyone will just get in their basket and fly. It also means we will not be importing fuel anymore.” Blade said. The announcement was met with boos and bottle throws from the packed auditorium who had gone to the meeting hoping the minister would announce a 0% fee increase for the coming year. The unperturbed minister also invited renowned witches to make an appointment with his office so they can have their skills tested and those outstanding would then be hired as lecturers. He also invited witches fro

Former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has opposed the idea of her accepting a political appointment from President Muhammadu Buhari. She said she has proudly served the nation to the best of her ability for seven years, and will not take any offer to serve in the Nigerian government again. Speaking as a guest on Al-Jazeera, Okonjo-Iweala said she has learnt to talk less as she has grown older. When was asked if she would take a position in the Buhari administration if offered, she said: "I served my country for seven years and it was a great honor. The second time was very tough but it is still an honor. I am not the only person who is a repository of knowledge. There are other people who can equally try their hands in running the economy." "One of the things you learn as you get wiser is to talk less as you grow older. I have spent my time contributing to the country. It will be better to leave those managing the economy to do what they know how to do. Th

Move over, viagra, regular exercise could be the best medicine for a man to improve his sex life. You know that working out is good for your health. But did you know that hitting the gym could also help you have better sex? “Working out three to four times a week can do a lot to help your sexual technique, flexibility, and endurance,” says Pete McCall, MS, an exercise physiologist and personal trainer for the American Council on Exercise. So what types of exercise are best for better sex? McCall recommends the following four “sex exercises.” Swimming In an Harvard study of 160 male and female swimmers, swimmers in their 60s reported sex lives comparable to those in their 40s. Since sexual activity can be an act of endurance, long-distance swimming can keep you going and going like the Energizer bunny. “Swimming for at least 30 minutes three times a week will increase sexual endurance,” says McCall. Swimming is also a great activity for weight loss, which can also lead to better sex

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels, and the magnitude of this force depends on the cardiac output and the resistance of the blood vessels. Fast facts on hypertension Here are some key points about hypertension. More detail and supporting information is in the body of this article. 1. Hypertension is defined as blood pressure higher than 140 over 90 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).     2. A diagnosis of hypertension may be made when one or both readings are high: systolic (the pressure as the heart pumps blood around the body), given first; or diastolic (pressure as the heart relaxes and refills with blood), given second.     3.

Once upon a time........ A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked: ‘Are you writing a story about what we’ve done? Is it a story about me?’ His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson: I am writing about you,... actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I’m using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.’ Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn’t seem very special. ‘But it’s just like any other pencil I’ve ever seen!’ ‘That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.’ ‘First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.’ ‘Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpner. That makes the pencil s

Organised labour has admonished the political and economic class to cultivate “a bipartisan and pan-Nigerian approach” to overcome the current economic crisis instead of passing blames and giving excuses. General Secretary of Textile Workers and NLC NEC member, Comrade Issa Aremu, gave the labour position while commenting on the recently released Quarterly National Accounts (QNA) of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) at a CBN interactive session with stakeholders in Owerri at the weekend. Comrade Aremu observed that all Nigerians, regardless of their callings are dammed by the data on rising inflation, double digit interest rates, factory closures and general underdevelopment. He advised that all Nigerians must collectively confront underdevelopment instead of giving excuses and blaming each other. On the views of the two former governors of Central Bank, Charles Chukwuma Soludo  and the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Aminu Sanusi on the policy thrust  of Buhari administration, c

The Nigeria Army has arrested some suspected leaders of militant groups wreaking havoc in the Niger Delta. Two suspects arrested by the 4 Brigade allegedly belong to the Otugas Fire Force.

Cocaine pellets removed from a 48-year-old man's stomach after he tried to smuggle them into Australia. Sitting on a nine-hour flight from Thailand to Australia can be uncomfortable at the best of times. Now imagine doing that with 110 bags of drugs hidden in your digestive tract. A 48-year-old Australian man smuggling 1.1 kilograms (2.4 pounds) of cocaine in his stomach admitted he was carrying the drugs to police at Sydney Airport, shortly after arriving on a flight from Thailand on September 1. The man, who lives in Thailand, had passed a baggage examination when he told police he had ingested a large number of packets filled with cocaine. An Australian Federal Police spokeswoman told CNN they were unable to confirm details of the discussion between the man and officials. Later, the man passed 46 pellets containing about 460 grams of cocaine (1 pound) after being taken into custody. Authorities then took the man to hospital, where another 64 were removed. "Importi

A shocking footage showing a mutant pig born in China has emerged online. The creature, as it is seen in the online video, appears to have a human face and a male organ of copulation, penis, on its forehead. But the video whose source is not clearly known has been widely circulated on Chinese social media. The piglet is seen in the video yawning or gasping for breath as it is held up to the camera. Mirror in a report said last year, a farmer claimed he was inundated with cash offers after photos of a similar mutant pig belonging to him went viral. Reports said friends and neighbours of Tao Lu rushed to his property in Yanan Township in the city of Nanning, China, after news of the deformed pig spread. One of the last to be born in a litter of 19, the little piglet was described by witnesses as having a human face and a penis on its forehead. When a local newspaper published pictures of the bizarre-looking animal, several people contacted Tao, offering to buy it. Sadly, the ani

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed a third case of polio in Nigeria. Aminu Muhammad, Rotary Club’s field coordinator, disclosed this on Monday, saying a crippled toddler found in Monguno Local Government Area of Borno State, was the victim. Last month, two cases of the virus were discovered in Borno, with the Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole describing the development as a setback for the nation. “It is unfortunate that we have the development. It has set us back, but I can assure the nation that we will do everything possible to be on top of the situation. “We are meeting again today. We had a meeting yesterday to look at the situation. We are drawing out an emergency plan and in the next 48 hours, we are dispatching a team there and we are going to start immunisation. “We would do three rounds of special immunisation campaigns to make sure that we contain the situation,” he said. Nigeria recently celebrated two years of not recording  a single polio c

As the judiciary spreads the gospel of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and mediators reiterate that the increasing conflicts within communities need traditional methods of resolution, traditional rulers in the South-West have been selected to become recognized mediators and  ensure the enforcement of settlements resulting from dispute resolutions based on their antecedents as natural peace keepers . YEJIDE GBENGA-OGUNDARE, who was at a conflict management and ADR training for the Obas writes on the willingness of traditional rulers to rival any court of law in arbitration. Conflict is a part of human life. And the ability to resolve disputes within a community has been said to be a determinant of how successful such a society will be as well as the level of development that will be experienced in such a community. Being an enlightened society, the Yoruba community since time immemorial had a solid structure on the management of its community which served them well and ensured th

FirstNation Airways has promised its traveling passengers that the airline would return to normal scheduled flight operations by Sept. 15. A statement by the Head, Corporate Affairs of the airline, Mr Rasheed Yusuff stated that the carrier’s current fleet was undergoing engine maintenance for safety operations, in line with global practice in the industry. It denied reports that the company was on the verge of folding up, stressing that taking aircraft out for maintenance was not the same as winding up operations. He said, “FirstNation is not on the verge of folding up. In reality, since the airline launched services in 2011, the airline has built a strong followership and has been rated consistently as market leader on safety and schedule integrity. “This reputation was reinforced by FirstNation’s achievement of International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification, which is the airline industry global benchmark for world class safety standard in r

Again, the Lagos State government has sealed off 37 pharmacies in its bid to stamp out proliferation of illegal pharmaceutical outlets.

Other offenders include illegal operato

And that means we might be able to stop it. In what could be a major step forward in our understanding of how cancer moves around the body, researchers have observed the spread of cancer cells from the initial tumour to the bloodstream. The findings suggest that secondary growths called metastases 'punch' their way through the walls of small blood vessels by targeting a molecule known as Death Receptor 6 (no, really, that's what it's called). This then sets off a self-destruct process in the blood vessels, allowing the cancer to spread. According to the team from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, disabling Death Receptor 6 (DR6) may effectively block the spread of cancerous cells - so long as there aren't alternative ways for the cancer to access the bloodstream. "This mechanism could be a promising starting point for treatments to prevent the formation of metastases,"  said lead researcher Stefan Offermanns . Catchi

INTRODUCTIONS Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. The condition can be self-limiting or can progress to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis viruses are the most common cause of hepatitis in the world but other infections, toxic substances (e.g. alcohol, certain drugs), and autoimmune diseases can also cause hepatitis. There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common modes of transmission for these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or bl
