The visitor’s exact conversation with Grace could not be extracted from either of them as the visitor left shortly before Mrs Grace began to scream in disbelief and rage, several times throwing herself on the floor to induce injuries.<br /><br />A source at the scene says neighbors gathered round and saw old pictures of Tony lying on the floor, apparently left behind by the visitor for Mrs Grace.<br /><br />The source was also shocked at the pictures left behind, one was wedding ceremony pictures of Tony and another woman dated May 2000, another was a car accident wreckage which had allegedly killed Tony, another was Tony’s remains lying in an open casket apparently depicting his funeral dated July 2002, the last one was a picture of a grave headstone carrying the full name and the dates of birth and death. The mystery remains, how is someone who had died in 2002 alive and well and even remarried with children?<br /><br />Attempts were made to reach Mr Tony by phone but they all proved abortive as his number was not reachable. A delegation of neighbors were sent to his office to retrieve Mr Tony but the delegation returned empty handed and revealed that Mr Tony never arrived at the office that morning as he drove out for work from his house.<br /><br />Mrs Grace had since be taken to a local prayer house for spiritual treatment against the advice of a psychiatric home while her children are being looked after by her neighbors as they look on confused. Maybe one day they will be old enough to be told that their father had died before they were born.<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26.4px;"> <img alt="grace-amadi" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-153686" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px" src="http://www.yabaleftonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/grace-amadi.jpg" srcset="http://www.yabaleftonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/grace-amadi.jpg 430w, http://www.yabaleftonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/grace-amadi-300x209.jpg 300w" style="border: none !important; display: block !important; float: none !important; height: auto; margin: 15px -20px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px !important; text-align: center !important; vertical-align: baseline;" width="430" /></div> </div>

Dr Arikawe Adeolu, an Abuja-based medical expert, advised that it is safer to trim the hair rather than shaving it off completely. He said that complete shaving of the hair could cause infection. Shavers for shaving pubic hair Adeolu told our correspondent on Tuesday that shaving or waxing of the hair around the pubic could cause cracks and expose the skin to bacterial infection. He added that the pubic hair served a major purpose of providing some level of cushioning for the individual, especially during sexual activity, preventing the skin from rubbing against another and causing abrasion. He explained that if the skin around the pubic region was completely shaved and the individual’s skin came into contact with another person’s skin, friction would be increased due to the skin to skin contact. He advised that individuals who were worried about the lack of hygiene due to untended pubic hair should consider trimming rather than complete shaving or waxing of the hair. “When you completely shave the pubic hair, it re-grows in a slanted fashion with the tip sometimes growing into the pubic skin, which can crack open the skin. “It is usually a small crack which cannot be seen with the naked eyes but due to this crack and loss of integrity of the skin at that level, there is increased risk of getting infection. “Complete shaving can also cause boil to develop in that region. This is because when you shave, you cause some level of abrasion in the area which opens up the skin. “These small openings cannot be seen with the eye but they are big enough for the micro organisms to get into the body. “Also, because the pubic area is always moist, this serves as breeding ground for organisms like bacteria.” Adeolu said that trimming the pubic hair would also help to reduce the risk of contacting Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI), which could also be contacted when fluid from an infected partner’s genitalia came into contact with the pubic area. According to him, if the partner is already infected, the virus in the semen or body fluid can easily penetrate the skin of the other to infect the individual. He said that this infection was mostly caused by a virus known as ‘Molluscum contagiosum’, adding that there had been significant increase in incidences of such infection in hospitals. “It is a viral infection that is also categorised as an STI. It affects the skin and does not need treatment; usually after a couple of weeks or months, the symptoms go away by themselves. “You also have an increased risk of contacting other STIs such as HIV, Hepatitis, genital warts by complete shaving of the pubic hair,’’ Adeolu said.</div> </div>

Iginla also gave a new Peugeot 501 to a Nollywood actor, Mr Ayo Emmanuel, popularly known as “Nollywood Policeman”. Iginla, who made the presentation to the beneficiaries at the Church service, also pledged to sponsor the reconstructive surgery for the acid victim in India. Bro Joshua Iginla The Pastor explained that the total sum required for the surgery was about N10 million and encouraged people to contribute to save the victim’s life. He, however, pledged to complete the money by next week with another N5 million if the balance was not raised by then. “I think Nigerians should rise up to defend the rights of women; to lay your hands on a woman is injustice. “I just don’t know how a man can do this (pour acid) on a lady; some people are just animals; how can you disfigure a lady like this. “We have hundreds of them (women) like this that they have done this wickedness to. “I am not doing this for her because she is a member of my Church; I don’t know her from anywhere; she’s even a Muslim and not a Christian. “We are only doing this to preach love and not to convert her to Christianity after her surgery in India,” he said. The Cleric said he would sponsor the trip, feeding and everything that was required for her to live a normal life. “We are working to get them visa this week to go to India; we will pay every bill. “I already have 10,000 U.S. dollars and by next Sunday, I will complete it. “This is an opportunity to show love to your neighbour because she’s not a Christian; your neighbour must not necessarily come from your religion or ethnic group. “This is the problem with the country; we think the person who comes from my religion or ethnic group is the only one that is my brother or sister. “It is not that we have the whole money in the world but this is a spirit of giving,” he said. A medical doctor who followed up her case, Dr John Eghosa, said she had chemical burns and has had surgery at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, to preserve her eyes. According to him, she has a 60 per cent burns on her face and 10 per cent burns on her body. Presenting the car to Emmanuel, Iginla expressed concern that many Nollywood actors and actresses were suffering due to piracy. “The level of piracy in this country is serious; I hope government will do something about it. “These Nollywood actors and actresses are Nigeria’s ambassadors who are projecting the image of the country to the world favourably. “Many of them have died prematurely because they are hard working but piracy has crippled them. “We enjoy watching their films but we watch them when they are helpless with none to help them. “You think they are rich just because they act rich men’s and women’s roles but many of them get 50,000 naira for a role and they may not get another role until about three months later,” he said. Iginla enjoined Nigerians to assist those in need, saying “I give because I rose from grass to grace; so I understand that I will only live in one house and ride only one car at a time”. Iginla had in May, given out 32 exotic cars to people, including many Nollywood actors and actresses as well as 22 cars in 2015.</div>

Trump vs Clinton in 30 rough minutes’ second presidential debate

Clinton vs Trump Yet those first 30 minutes defined the candidates’ second encounter. Trump turned accusations that he spoke crudely about women into retorts that Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, did far worse by sexually assaulting women. Just before the debate began, he even brought those women together before television cameras. Clinton used the town-hall style forum at Washington University in St. Louis to argue that Trump’s words showed the real man — one who isn’t fit to be president. She refused to engage in a point-by-point rebuttal of Trump’s charges against her husband but criticized the Republican’s temperament in an exchange over his late-night tweets. In many ways, it was exactly the event Republicans feared — Trump living up to his threat to bring Bill Clinton into the debate and even saying he would try to jail Clinton if he wins the election — and it seems unlikely that Trump’s performance will do anything stop the defections from a campaign in free-fall. And the public mudslinging — along with Trump’s admission he took hundreds of millions in tax deductions — seemed certain to overshadow attempts to hit Clinton over Obamacare, foreign policy, and revelations about her paid speeches to Wall Street. Here’s the tale of the tape: Lewd Boasts The early minutes were dominated by the story that has gripped the political world for the past 48 hours: Trump’s lewd comments about women in a 2005 tape that became public on Friday. Pressed on the issue, Trump repeatedly dismissed his words as “locker-room talk” while insisting that he had “great respect for women.” “I’m not proud of it,” he said. “I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people.” Trump has seen a flood of Republican leaders abandon his campaign after the release of the tape in which he crudely describes attempts to force himself on women sexually and to seduce a married woman. A number of Republican members of Congress and governors withdrew their support for his campaign, and close allies — including his vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence — released statements critical of the comments. Pressed by Anderson Cooper, one of the debate moderators, about whether he had actually carried out the sexual assault described in the conversation, Trump initially demurred, before saying that he hadn’t. At first, Clinton avoided discussing the controversy head-on, responding to a teacher’s question about the tone and tenor of the campaign by describing her aspirations to bring Americans together. But as the conversation continued, Clinton said the tape was evidence of Trump’s true feelings about women. “What we all saw and heard on Friday was Donald talking about women,” Clinton said. “What he thinks about women. What he does to women.” She also said it was evidence the Republican nominee was unfit to serve as president, unlike predecessors his party put forward. “Donald Trump is different,” she said. Bill Clinton’s Past Trump telegraphed that he was ready to slam Clinton over her husband’s sexual misconduct shortly before the debate began, appearing in front of television cameras with women who had previously accused the former president of unwelcome advances. Sure enough, Trump quickly pivoted from tough questioning about the 2005 tape to a condemnation of Bill Clinton’s conduct. “Mine were words, his were action,” Trump said. The Republican nominee went on to describe the former president as having treated women worse than “anybody in the history of politics” and “disgraceful.” “Bill Clinton was abusive to women,” he said. “Hillary Clinton attacked those women.” Trump invited three of Clinton’s accusers — Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey — to the debate, as well as Kathy Shelton, a child rape victim angry that Hillary Clinton had served as defense attorney for her rapist. Jones, an Arkansas state employee who accused Clinton in 1994 of making an unwanted sexual advance, also said the Clintons had attempted to find out sordid information about her. It was in a deposition for a lawsuit brought by Jones that the president lied about an affair he had with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. Congressional Republicans launched impeachment proceedings over the incident. During that investigation, Broaddrick, a campaign volunteer in the late 1970s, told FBI investigators that Clinton raped her. In subsequent interviews, she has said that Hillary Clinton was aware of the incident and had made veiled threats to her. The former president has denied a alleged sexual assault occurred. Shelton was 12 years old when she was allegedly raped by 41-year-old Thomas Alfred Taylor on the side of an Arkansas road. Clinton, then a 27-year-old law professor, defended Taylor as part of her work for a law clinic for underprivileged defendants. Taylor’s charges were reduced from first-degree rape, and he served just 10 months in jail. Clinton said Trump’s characterization of the cases was “not right,” and cited first lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention. “When you go low, we go high,” Clinton said, echoing that address. ‘In Jail’ In one of the most dramatic moments of the debate, Trump looked at Clinton and said that as president he would seek a special prosecutor to investigate her use of a private e-mail server while working as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. It’s “just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Trump” isn’t in charge of law enforcement, Clinton responded. “Because you’d be in jail,” Trump interjected. The e-mail issue has haunted Clinton throughout her campaign and will continue to do so in the month remaining. It’s regularly cited as a reason many voters don’t trust her. Trump falsely said that Clinton destroyed 33,000 e-mails after they were subpoenaed. She and her legal team did so earlier on the grounds that they were personal and not work-related. A technician said he acted on his own to delete an archive of e-mails after a congressional subpoena because he’d failed to do so earlier. Pushed by the debate moderators to respond to specific statements made by the FBI after its investigation, Clinton responded by reiterating her position that using the private e-mail system was a “mistake.” She added, “I’m very sorry about that” and noted that the FBI probe found no criminal activity. Clinton didn’t mention that FBI Director James Comey called her handling of classified information “extremely careless” or that her public explanations about the system have repeatedly changed. She initially said she sent no e-mails with classified information but later said she sent none that were marked classified and finally settled on saying she sent none that were marked classified in the “header” at the top. Those shifting explanations came as the FBI concluded that more than 100 messages in more than 50 threads contained classified information at the time that they were sent and that three had markings in the body of the text showing they were confidential, a type of classification. The e-mail issue isn’t over. The State Department on Friday started releasing hundreds of additional work-related e-mails found by the FBI but not turned over by Clinton. The department is under court order to release more of them before Election Day. Trump’s Taxes Clinton, who has posted nine years of her tax returns online, repeated her call for Trump to post his. Trump has declined to do so, saying he’s under audit by the Internal Revenue Service, and will release tax returns once that audit is complete. There’s no law to prevent him from releasing them, even if they are under audit. Clinton referred to the recent disclosure of state tax forms from 1995 that showed Trump recorded a $916 million loss that year — a loss so large it might have allowed him to avoid or reduce his federal income taxes for as many as 18 years, according to tax specialists. Trump acknowledged for the first time Sunday night that he had used that loss to avoid federal income taxes — though he didn’t say for how long, and he said such tax-avoidance is common practice among wealthy businessmen. “Did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income taxes?” moderator Cooper asked. “Of course I do,” Trump responded. Trump also said that “most” of Clinton’s donors have done the same. “I know many of her donors. Her donors took massive tax write-offs,” he said. Trump said that a lot of tax deductions over the years have come through depreciating the value of his real-estate holdings. “A lot of things that Hillary, as a senator, allowed,” Trump said. “And she’ll always allow them because the people that give her all this money — they want it.” Trump also said: “I pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes” and said that includes federal taxes. Syria and Refugees Trump broke with his closest ally on his Syria policy during the debate: his own running mate. Martha Raddatz, the other debate moderator, asked Trump if he agreed with his vice presidential nominee, Pence, who said during the vice presidential candidates’ debate that their administration would deploy ground forces in Syria. “He and I haven’t spoken, and I disagree,” Trump said. Trump proved evasive when Raddatz tried to pin down why he changed his policy on Muslim immigration amid the refugee crisis in Syria. Trump said his position had “morphed into an extreme vetting” of immigrants and refugees from areas with high terrorist activity, but didn’t answer — even after being pressed –about why he abandoned his original call for a ban on immigration by Muslims. Trump called Syrian refugees “the great Trojan horse of all time” and said the U.S. had “no idea” who was entering the country. Refugees to the U.S. are subject to an intense vetting process that takes more than a year and involves background checks by multiple agencies. Clinton has said she would increase the number of Syrian refugees coming to the U.S. to 65,000. That would amount to an 81 percent increase over the current level. She defended that position in the debate, saying the U.S. needed to shoulder more of the burden of the humanitarian crisis. She also attacked Trump’s earlier call for a ban on Muslim immigrants as anti-American. “It is important for us as a policy not to say, as Donald said, we’re going to ban people based on religion,” Clinton said. “How do you do that? We are a country founded on religious freedom and liberty.” The pair also sparred over support for the Iraq war, with Trump saying he “would not have had our people in Iraq.” Clinton said fact-checkers had debunked that claim. When Trump was asked whether he supported going to war in Iraq in a 2002 appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show, Trump said, “Yeah, I guess so. You know, I wish it was, I wish the first time it was done correctly.” In a 2004 interview in Esquire magazine, he said “all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!” As a senator from New York, Clinton voted in 2002 to give President George W. Bush the authority to wage the Iraq war, a decision that may have cost her the Democratic nomination in 2008 and which she later called a mistake. Clinton has said she wouldn’t have voted for the war if she’d known at the time what the world learned later, that Iraq didn’t have the weapons of mass destruction claimed by the Bush administration. Obamacare Dispute Both candidates said Obamacare has problems. But while Clinton said she wants to improve “what works” about the Affordable Care Act, Trump called it “a disaster” and said it will “never work.” The law has succeeded at its primary goal. It has expanded insurance coverage to 20 million Americans who previously lacked it, driving the U.S. uninsured rate down by better than six percentage points to 10.8 percent, according to a Gallup survey. Clinton accurately described some of its most popular features, including allowing parents to keep their children on their health insurance plans until they turn 26 and prohibiting insurers from refusing coverage for sick people or charging more based on health or gender. She accurately said that those benefits would be “lost” if the law were repealed, absent a replacement policy. Clinton said she would “get costs down and keep quality up” and would provide “additional help for small businesses.” She didn’t explain how she would do that, and the debate moderators didn’t challenge her vague promises. Trump said he would improve U.S. insurance markets by “getting rid of lines around states” — a reference to a years-old Republican proposal to allow insurers in one state to sell plans in others without being subject to state regulators. State-level regulation of health insurance predates the Affordable Care Act, however, and changing that structure is opposed by state insurance regulators, including Republicans, who say consumers could be harmed and that out-of-state insurers would have trouble assembling sufficient local networks of doctors and hospitals. Trump accurately said that “lines around states” were “almost gone” until just before the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress. The House version of the legislation would have created a single national insurance exchange. But Congress passed the Senate version of the bill, which created separate insurance exchanges in all 50 states. Trump said that Clinton wants a “single-payer plan,” a system in which the government pays all of its citizens’ medical bills directly. She has never publicly advocated such a change, and accurately said during the debate that the U.S. “has an employer-based” health care system in which most Americans are covered through their jobs. The candidate who has previously advocated for a single-payer plan, in fact, is Trump. He has since disavowed that position.</div>

DSS Judges Raid Details: See Names Of Judges And How Much Recovered From Each

<p dir="ltr">Sources at the Department of State Security (DSS) has revealed that the overnight raid on the residences of some nine court judges, culminating in the arrest of several of them, came as a result of petitions and decisions of the National Judicial Council (NJC), a statutory body that regulates the activities of judges.<br> According to Sahara Reporters, two DSS sources, however, stated that contrary to earlier reports, the Supreme Court nominee for Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, was not targeted in any of the raids conducted so far. Justice Onnohen reportedly raised alarm to friends when he noticed police action next to his residence as a team of security agents swooped on his next door neighbor, Justice Sylvanus Ngwunta. </p> <p dir="ltr">A press release issued by the DSS indicated that Justice Onnohen is not under investigation. It was learnt that the justice's appointment is being fast-tracked to become the CJN in a few days, Sahara Reporters says</p> <p dir="ltr">However, two Supreme Court justices, John Inyang Okoro and Sylvanus Ngwuta, were arrested in connection with the receipt of bribes from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State. Justice Ngwuta reportedly traveled to Qatar to receive bribes that he shared with Justice Okoro and other justices in order to help Mr. Wike to win a case at the Supreme Court regarding his disputed election. During a search of his home Justice Ngwunta was in possession of N35,208m, $319,475, 25,890 pounds and 280 Euros<br> The two judges have been linked with massive properties development in Abuja and Calabar. Justice Okoro is said to be building seven houses simultaneously in Calabar with the help of former Governor Godswill Akpabio and his predecessor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom state. Justice Okoro had N4.35m, $38,833 and 1000 Euros in his possession during his arrest this morning.<br> It was learned that Governor Wike sprang up late at night to obstruct the arrest of a judge in Port Harcourt. The altercation that ensued created a tense atmosphere between the Governor and security operatives sent to arrest the judge. </p> <p dir="ltr">One source told SaharaReporters that the judge involved was Justice Abdullahi Liman of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt. Justice Liman, who is yet to be apprehended reportedly took $2million from Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party to give a judgement that “overthrew” the faction led by a former governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff. Governor Wike reportedly transferred the funds in cash to Liman in Ghana, before it was ferried to his home in Port Harcourt. The bribe was to be shared between Lima and the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Auta. When the team arrived the house in Port Harcourt where the loot was kept Gov. Wike mobilized his men to counter the DSS team with the aid of the State’s Police Commissioner. Another source also stated that one Justice Uche Nma Agomoh of the Federal High Court in the same city who was a lackey of the former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Joseph Daudu was also involved in the scam. </p> <p dir="ltr">A statement issued by the DSS stated that their team was obstructed by the governor and some thugs with the help of officers from a sister agency, which SaharaReporters learnt is a reference to the Nigerian police. <br> A security source claimed that Governor Wike left when confronted by police and DSS agents who threatened to shoot him, however, the obstruction aided movement of the cash found on the property. Governor Wike told a different version to the press, claiming he did not know who the judge was.<br> As early as 11 p.m. Nigerian time, the siege on the homes of judges became public knowledge when DSS agents raided the home of a young judge, Dimgba Nnamdi, who apparently has been a thorn in the side of the DSS lately. When the siege was over, the judge's brother had been brutalized, after which the security agents showed their victim a "search warrant" meant for Justice Okoro. Justice Dimgba Nnamdi was "roughened up" but not immediately arrested. However, a DSS source stated Justice Dimgba is guilty of corruption and had been arrested as well.</p> <p dir="ltr">Justice Muazu Pindiga, who was arrested in Gombe, was transported to the DSS headquarters in Abuja. A DSS source told our correspondent that Justice Pindiga was cooperating with the DSS regarding his role in a bribery scheme over the Rivers State election tribunal from which he was removed as a judge as Saharareporters exposed him for receiving N100m from Governor Wike.</p> <p dir="ltr">SaharaReporters learned that Justice Muhammad Ladan Tsamiya, an Appeal Court justice who was recently "compulsorily retired" by the NJC, was not home when a DSS team invaded his home in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja, he reportedly surrendered to the DSS later this morning. <br> One of the most dramatic scenes took place when the DSS team stormed the home of Justice Adeniyi Ademola. When the team ordered Justice Ademola to come out, the judge claimed he was not home, but his cellphone signal gave him away. He was subsequently arrested with at least N300 million found in different local and foreign currencies in his bedroom. Specifically the same of N54m cash, $171,779. 4,400 Euros, 1,010 Rupees, and 80 pounds was found in his residence.<br> A different team also arrested Justice Kabiru Auta in Kano. </p> <p dir="ltr">One DSS source told our reporter that the raids were meant to be carried out by joint DSS and the Nigerian police teams, adding that the police bungled some of the raids by apparently tipping off their targets.<br> Several security agents stated that the raids took place following independent investigations that were triggered by petitions submitted to the NJC against some of the judges. According to one of the operatives,  none of the nine judges targeted haven't spent their salaries in the last two years. </p> <p dir="ltr">One source revealed that the raids were originally planned for last week, but had to be postponed for "strategic reasons."<br> A statement issued by the DSS stated that the agency had recovered large sums of foreign and local currencies. The DSS gave a breakdown of the recovered funds as follows: <br></p> <p dir="ltr">SUMMARY OF RECOVERED MONEY<br></p> <p dir="ltr">1.   NAIRA          -      N93,558,000.00<br></p> <p dir="ltr">2.    DOLLARS   -      $530,087<br></p> <p dir="ltr">3.    POUNDS    -      £25,970<br></p> <p dir="ltr">4.    EURO        -      €5,680<br></p> <p dir="ltr">Other foreign currencies were also recovered. The funds were recovered from just three of the arrested judges.<br> The DSS revealed that its operatives also seized banking as well as real estate documents from several judges. <br> The agency is making preparations to arraign the arrested justices in court early next week.</p>

Even in military government it has never happened like this , you listen to people. That is why we are here. I said not under my watch will I allow this type of activity take place.<br /><br />“The DSS, Police they cocked their guns and said they will shoot me.

The MYSTIFIED 30% in MMM. How to Understand It.

<p dir="ltr">​​The MYSTIFIED 30% in MMM. How to Understand It.​  Its important you all understand this concept so much that you can easily explain it to others.  Let's look at it from this practical point of view,99% of us here have bank account. Right? Good.  We put our money in the bank because we Trust its safe there What do u think is the % of people who put their money in Banks?  Do you know How many % of people in Nigeria has an account with First Bank?  Yes you guess right!  Let's say 70% of Nigerians.  That's about more than 50million Nigerians. And Among these people are   The Poor Middle class  and Business men  Companies   Among this set of people are those who deposit their money in bank at different intervals and different amount.  Right?  And they withdraw at different intervals and different amount.  That means If you deposit 200k Another person deposit 1million,Another deposit 2k,Another deposit 500k,Wenever you are withdrawing your 200k, Someone's elsewhere is depositing a huge amounts.  To supplement ur 200k withdrawal. And this circle continued on and on. And becos of the population of people using the bank and different set of cash and different time of deposit and withdrawal  There is 100% chances that you must get your money withdrawn whenever you need it.  Anytime u go to bank to withdraw money That's the principle MMM is also using Its called Crowd Funding.  The power of crowd funding, Banks And all financial institutions use the principle,That's is why the owner of this Banks are filty rich.  Where do you Think Bank Gets money they loan out  ( Yes our Money) You evidently give bank your money when you and all those who have account with the bank Crowd Fund(Deposition Remember I want to make this more practical.  Look at this illustration, illustration U have 1million naira,U went to the bank And put it in a fixed deposit account With interest of 12% per year. U are happy As u leave the bank  The business man comes And request to use ur 1million for biz Same bank charge him 35% He agreed Went to do biz wt ur money And make profit  Pays d bank Ur 1million +35% At d end of d year U came and collect 12% Who is the fool among the 3?.  And who is the king?  They all get paid But one of them is the king. The Bank The B A N K.  Now the bank collects our money. And loan it out To bizness men And make lots of money to pay d staff And enrich his life What happen to u d depositor.U get Nothing  Not even 1% of ur deposit.  Now MMM says No. Because of this unfair financial system.Sergie Mavrodi,Thought it necessary to look at d financial system and realized that, Banks survive bcos of the continues deposit and withdrawal of cash,At different intervals  And bcos of the population of people who have an account wt d bank. Sergey Mavrodi decided that even bank with that principle can even give us 50% of our money monthly but they won't do it  . The principle of crowding funding enable the bank to even give us more interest on our money monthly and nothing will happen.But bcos of the unfair financial system in place dey will never do it.   He realized that if we can come together. Like those population with bank account example I gave earlier .If We can copy the same principle bank and financial institutions use to flourish, We can do a lot .   All it takes is just the Redistribution of cash flows. And the IDeology in MMM.  The system provides that redistribution.And with a great community with same goal and mindset it can be achieved.  Are u guys getting where am heading to?.  Bcos people deposit at different times Banks lives on  Bcos people PH in MMM different times. MMM lives on  Bcos people withdraw in bank at different times. Banks Lives on   Because people GH in MMM different times. MMM lives on  Because of the influx of PH and GH regular PH and GH there will always be 30% to Pay to everyone .  Because of Regular Deposit and Withdrawal at different times and different amount there must always be money to withdraw in banks.</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0z4fHZMTdh7q86wiIxTx3N24LuPfZVnlZhAAMMWbK63VWMS6lbE5BdVcDerVPvok8PpEdb5DLhm0joCAAfYd146S9R-ZAAGGfWYjNEQCiOo3f5oX0WlhNL9k3qB-DiqZ4X_SZcV4H5sfz/s1600/MMM%252520%252520NIGERIA%25252020161008_082822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0z4fHZMTdh7q86wiIxTx3N24LuPfZVnlZhAAMMWbK63VWMS6lbE5BdVcDerVPvok8PpEdb5DLhm0joCAAfYd146S9R-ZAAGGfWYjNEQCiOo3f5oX0WlhNL9k3qB-DiqZ4X_SZcV4H5sfz/s640/MMM%252520%252520NIGERIA%25252020161008_082822.jpg"> </a> </div>

At 50, No one wants to marry me – Yeni Kuti

She relives memories of her active years as a dancer, life after the death of her father and her desire to re-marry if she has the opportunity to do so, amongst other issues raised by Showtime Celebrity. Enjoy.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  How does it feel to be fifty? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Laughs. I’m excited to be fifty. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> What’s the excitement in turning fifty? When I was younger and I saw people who turned fifty, I used to think they were very old. But now, that I’m also there, I feel older but not very old. Looking back, do you have any regret in life? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I don’t dwell on regrets. Life gives you what it would but I don’t dwell on it. I believe in being positive. So, I don’t even think of any regret. All I do is work. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> You keep talking about work, what kind of work do you do? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Well, it’s in the shrine.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOqWEqmelMl-Fogi8kUOd_hooUfo4K_0DhP6xiUNsG-QHTOitfrifpSQ2dhHSRzNodn4NB22CHWIkYP1v6A3ZDo2L-rzOyU2mBR5et31M3sOq6Z0VAGML-Hd33Oq00onSCvbo6G3-lV_ZQ/s1600/yeni.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOqWEqmelMl-Fogi8kUOd_hooUfo4K_0DhP6xiUNsG-QHTOitfrifpSQ2dhHSRzNodn4NB22CHWIkYP1v6A3ZDo2L-rzOyU2mBR5et31M3sOq6Z0VAGML-Hd33Oq00onSCvbo6G3-lV_ZQ/s400/yeni.jpg" width="183" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  How do you run the Shrine?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Ah! I don’t know. There are different things to do there. You have to do your books, balance the sheets, make sure there’s diesel for the generator. Like now, people are waiting for me- there are so many things to do there. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> So what are some of the challenges? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I think electricity is the most challenging. We use all the profit we make in purchasing diesel to run our generating set.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  You are a veteran dancer…?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Yes, I’m retired but not tired. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> What could bring you out of the Shrine? If someone offers me millions of Naira . What passes through your mind whenever you are on stage?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  I just love to dance. So whenever they sing, I just translate their songs into dance and I enjoy it. Dancing is my passion. It makes you shake your back side… That’s Afro beat for you, it’s a sensual dance. I’m even thinking of a reconciliation so that we can join the band.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Where there times you wanted to give up?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Many times, especially when you have to dance for like five to six hours in a row, and you don’t get to rest and eat well. And when you finally get few hours of rest, you think it should all end right there. It’s hard to leave what you have passion for. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Do you sometimes miss dancing? Definitely I do miss it.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  And when that happens, what do you do?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  I get the dancers and we start rehearsing. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Do you wish your father, Fela is still alive to celebrate your achievements as the first child? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I wish Fela was here for different reasons, not to assess me but I missed his company. Especially the way we shared our gists. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> What’s the beautiful thing you still remember him for? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> There are so many beautiful things to remember him for. I miss sitting and sharing gist with him, his lectures, going to his shows, listening and dancing to his music, him coming to our shows and playing guitar with Femi. So many things that I can’t remember. Fela was full of life.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Aside Femi and Seun, are you happy that many artistes are not playing Afro beat? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> No, I’m not happy. Afro beat is hard, it’s not an easy to play music, it takes a lot of dedication. And in the whole of Lagos, there are only about three Afro beat bands and I always try to host them during Felabration. I wish more people are taking up the mantle. We must see Afro beat as ours in Nigeria before foreigners take it away from us. When you heard about the Broad Way show, how did you feel? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I was proud that my father made an impact on people’s lives and that a show was staged in honour of him. I remember the first time I ever travelled to New York to see the show and I saw Fela’s mimic live-I was so proud. But I was again sad because Fela wasn’t there to see it. He never saw that in his life time. I loved the show and watched it several times. And there were young guys and ladies who heard about Fela and appreciated him for what he stood for. Hopefully, this will inspire the Nigerian youths to stop running away from his music and who Fela was. And when it finally came to Lagos… Yes, I remember when it was first staged in the Shrine-it was fantastic. Every one in the Shrine loved the show and the casts loved the Shrine. And when the casts got to Eko Hotel, they just loved the fact that when they were singing the song, Nigerians sang along . But the reverse was the case in New York because they couldn’t sing Fela’s songs there-they loved it and didn’t want to leave. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Do you have admirers?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Yes </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> And you have a man?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  I don’t have anybody</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  How do you mean? </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I’ve answered that. I don’t have anybody who wants to marry me</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Or are you in a relationship?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  Yes, I am </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Don’t you wish to be married someday? I’m happy the way I am and I’m in a very nice relationship with someone I love. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> You’re not thinking about marriage?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  I have nothing against marriage. I’m just happy where I am. At fifty, you’re set in your way and not sure whether you’ll make a good wife material anymore. I’m a career woman, I face my career which is my life and it takes my time. I traveled a lot too. But for now, my life is in the Shrine. And like I said, I’m in a relationship and we’re both happy together. If it ends in marriage so be it and if it doesn’t, I’m happy. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> What has motherhood done to you?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  It gave me a daughter whom I love very much, She’s the most important thing to me. I remember that I used to smoke before she gained admission into the university. But then, I realised that if I should die as a result of my smoking habit, there would be no one to take care of her. And as much as I enjoyed smoking, I had to stop it. I want to live to see my grand children.</div> </div>

Bishops call for anti-grazing law

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">  OWERRI—Bishops of the Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, Anglican Communion, have called on Imo State Government to “immediately halt any plan to allocate grazing fields to nomadic people.” The Anglican clerics also argued that “since cattle rearing is a private business, it must not be given preferential patronage.” The plea was part of the five-point communique they issued at the end of their 28 Regular Provincial Council Meeting, held at the Cathedral Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Oguta. While condemning in its entirety, what they called “the menace of armed cattle herdsmen and the mayhem they have continued to unleash on innocent citizens”, the clerics equally lamented that their atrocities have continued unabated. “The recent killing of unsuspecting people of Akokwa in Ideato North local government area of Imo State, in their homes, shows that the state is in danger of more daring attacks,” the clerics said. The bishops called on Governor Rochas Okorocha to “rise to the occasion by ensuring adequate protection of lives and property in the state”. The communique equally called on Imo lawmakers to “immediately enact a law to protect the lives and property of the citizens from callous and unprovoked attacks by armed herdsmen”. The federal and state governments were equally urged to take urgent steps to save the lives of Imo people, from the danger posed by the deplorable state of roads. Taking a hard look at the prevailing economic milieu, the bishops lamented that there is so much hunger in the country, and passionately appealed to Okorocha to “desist from acts that will further bring hardship on the people.” They particularly mentioned the demolition of people’s homes and all forms of levies and taxes for emblems, “no matter how plausible the motive may seem at this time in the history of the country."</div>

It captures small pollution particles – PM2.5 and PM10 – and releases clean air, leaving the surrounding area approximately 75 percent cleaner, Roosegaarde said to CNN Money ahead of its unveiling in Beijing.<br /> <br /> It is reported that the tower can clean 30,000 cubic meters of air every hour, and the pollution particles it sucks in are subject to high pressure for around half hour, before being sealed within a tight resin cube as a “smog gemstone” that can be used for jewelry.<br /> <br /> Beijing has struggled with serious pollution for a long time. Last year, the city issued its first ever red alert for heavy pollution, the highest possible alert in the city’s four-tier warning system. To fight back against smog, the city has invested 760 billion yuan (roughly 114 billion US dollars) since 2014.</div>
