It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve (Henry George)

HID’s Death Forced Me, Patience Out Of Hiding – Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the death of Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo forced him out of his hiding, as he had to break silence to honour the late Awolowo matriarch.

Jonathan and his wife were among dignitaries who visited the Ikenne home of the Awolowos to pay tribute to HID who passed on on Saturday.

Jonathan praised the late Awolowo saying her kindness, encouragement and advice were things he was going to cherish for a long time.

He added that her legacy would remain indelible, and that the country missed a rare gem.

He said, “My wife and I are not mourning because Mama has passed on. For me, we believe that it’s a rare privilege to add extra 29 years to the biblical three scores and 10; it’s not easy.

“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have been mourning but Mama was a rare mother. She was a woman of virtue described in the Bible and she was a mother to all of us.

[SPORTS] How Chelsea and Arsenal should line up for their Premier League clash

The tactical battle in Chelsea vs. Arsenal fixtures is always intriguing because of the differing styles of the two clubs: Chelsea are usually cautious and reactive, Arsenal aggressive and proactive. The usual pattern is simple: Arsenal dominate possession, Chelsea score more goals.
But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger finally recorded a victory over Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho in last month's Community Shield, and Arsenal should therefore have great confidence going into this game.
This is the first time this season that Mourinho and Wenger have been forced to cope with midweek football ahead of a weekend Premier League game, and while the results were different -- Chelsea beat Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Arsenal lost at Dinamo Zagreb -- both managers rotated heavily ahead of a Saturday lunchtime kickoff. It means team selection will be particularly interesting.

Migrant crisis: Thousands overwhelm Croatia

 
September 17, 2015 (As reported by CNN)

At the Hungarian-Serbian border (CNN)A day after Croatia opened its border to migrants, chaos erupted as thousands of people broke through police barriers set up at the train station in the border town of Tovarnik.

Women were wailing and police tried to help children as masses of people pushed their way out of the holding area set up for processing, CNN's Ivan Watson reported.

Police did not use force against the migrants, as they tried to keep the barriers in place. They finally gave up and the migrants started running into Croatia.

In just 24 hours, more than 7,600 migrants have arrived through at least seven border crossings.

Terence Pike, with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Croatia, told CNN that Croatian authorities had been prepared to handle only an influx of 500 migrants and refugees a day.

"I think that too many refugees entered in an uncontrolled way on the first day," said Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.

SINCE the pogrom against Ndigbo of 1966, that led to the the declaration of the Republic of Biafra among the South Easterners of Nigeria , and the subsequent civil war, from 1967 to 1970, in which Biafrans were defeated,  many do not know what to do with the name Biafra, which was drawn from the Bight of Biafra at the South of the Atlantic Ocean.

Most war veterans from the Nigeria side, especially the leaders treat everything about Biafra with ignominy, disdain, and repulsion. Out of pride and arrogance, they wish the name was crushed out of existence.

Kim K Wears Skimpy Nude Bodysuit On Top of a Pile of Dirt in Photo Shoot Styled by Kanye West

Courtesy System Magazine

Kanye West, top musician, producer and his wife’s part-time stylist, performed the latter job for System Magazine with famed photographer Juergen Teller. In this case, “styling” means he put her in a nude bodysuit under a champagne bustier bra and with thigh-high stockings. Her formerly blonde hair made an appearance as well.

Courtesy System Magazine

The shoot, which took place this spring at Château d’Ambleville in France, is for a special booklet produced by System Magazine, which will be available on its website soon, as well as at Dover Books in London on July 11 and in N.Y.C. July 18.

Courtesy System Magazine

Juergen Teller employed his typical high-fashion lens to capture himself as well as the couple in varying states of undress and activity.

Courtesy System Magazine

West defended his style and its influences earlier this year, saying, “I would like to be influenced as much as possible. I don’t care if you can see the influence in something, as long as I made it better.” And if you’re not taking his styling gig seriously, well, he doesn’t care about that either.

Insurgency Worsens under Buhari, Says Ekweremadu

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on thursday expressed worry over the frightening spate of insurgency in the country, noting that it was unfortunate that development had attained a worrisome dimension since  President Muhammadu Buhari took over power on May 29.

He said: “I am worried about the insurgence of the Boko Haram activities in Nigeria.  Shortly before the inauguration of the present government, the country had almost rolled back Boko Haram and its activities in every part of Nigeria – from Adamawa to Borno to Yobe.

“I was hoping that when we come back in the 8th Assembly, that I will work with our colleagues from the North-East to develop a plan of action that will help to rehabilitate that part of Nigeria. I feel so concerned about the suffering of our people from the North-east of Nigeria.

“I had hoped that by now we would be tasking ourselves on how best to rebuild that part of Nigeria. Regrettably the actions of Boko Haram seems to have resurfaced now not only in Borno, they have carried out their activities also in Plateau, they have gone to Adamawa, Kaduna.

“I am worried that if nothing is done, the next target would be Abuja. Maybe they start going to South. It is important for us as those in government, whether Executive or Legislature, to come together to find solutions to these problems.”

Ekweremadu appealed to neighbouring countries and the international community  to support the country to  roll back the activities of Boko Haram, stressing that  there was no way the nation could  achieve progress in the country when there were security problems.

He said the Buhari administration should, as a matter of urgency,  “deal with this security challenge no matter what it would cost us.”
He also called for a collaboration between the Executive and the Legislature in order to deal with the scourge. 

Ekweremadu said: “We must be on the same page on this matter. I believe that it is time for us to have meetings with the Executive as well as the security agencies in order to find out exactly what has happened – why the resurgence of these Boko Haram activities and what we can do as a people to ensure that this matter is dealt with decisively.”

He expressed sympathy with the Boko Haram victims and called for an immediate action to stop the menace.

PRESIDENCY DISMISSES RUMOURS ABOUT BUHARI'S DELAYED RELOCATION TO ASO VILLA

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to president Buhari, Shehu Garba released a statement yesterday describing as false, reports being circulated online that the reason Nigeria's new president hasn't relocated to Aso Villa was because he was advised by a Senegalese spiritualist not to do so for now.

The suspects were paraded along with a custodian of an Ibadan masquerade, known as Ogunmola Adenimodo, for allegedly destroying some vehicles at Ayeye area of Ibadan metropolis.
They were rounded up at Moniya in Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.
Ibadan masquerade festival had always left on its trail tears, losses, violence, bloodshed and even death in some cases.
However, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Muhammed Katsina, insisted that the reign of terror and impunity would not continue.
While parading the suspects at the state Police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan yesterday, the commissioner explained that the ambush squad of the command arrested the two members of a dangerous syndicate who specialized in duping unsuspecting members of the public.
According to him, the suspects, who were allegedly caught with human parts, always pretended to offer their victims spiritual assistance.
He said small pieces of human skull, hair, fake 900 dollars and some charms were found on the suspects.
While stating that the masquerade custodian had violated an earlier undertaking they made with the police, he said the police would not allow any individual or group to constitute a threat to public peace and order, especially during the on-going masquerade festival.
He vowed that other fleeing suspects would be arrested wherever they might be hiding.
However, Sikiru denied the allegation that his supporters destroyed the vehicles, saying his masquerade was yet to go to town.
He added that since the police had not granted him permit to go out with his Masquerade, he marked the festival indoor.
