Student gets 4 months imprisonment for snatching handbag

An Abuja Senior Magistrates’ Court in Wuse Zone 6 on Friday sentenced a student, Kamal Garba, 20, to four months in prison for snatching a lady’s handbag. Senior Magistrate Fatima Malo, sentenced the convict without an option to pay a fine after he pleaded guilty to stealing. Malo also ordered the convict to pay N29,000 as compensation or serve an additional eight months. “The punishment is to make you change your lifestyle from that of crimes to being a good citizen. The convict is accused of snatching a handbag, belonging to one Comfort Anyiwoyi. Garba was caught in the act by a group of men who handed him over to military men on duty. Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp John Ijoga, told the court that Anyiwoyi had reported the matter to the Central Police Station on Jan. 1. Ijoga said that the complainant’s bag contained N29,000, two cell phones, some passport photographs, ATM cards of three banks and other vital items. After the convict’s guilty plea, the prosecutor prayed the court to summarily sentence him under Section 157 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The section states that “if an accused admits that he has committed the offence of which he is accused, his admission shall be recorded. It adds that this must be “ be nearly as possible, in the words used by the accused and if he shows no sufficient cause why he should not be convicted, the court may convict him accordingly’’. Ijoga said the offence contravened the provision of Section 287 of the Penal Code. (NAN)

A Karu Chief Magistrates’ Court, Abuja,on Friday ordered that a 15-year-old deaf and dumb boy, be given 14 strokes of the cane, for stealing N10,000. The convict, a primary school pupil, was arraigned by the police before Chief Magistrate Hadiza Dodo, on a two-count charge of house breaking and theft. Dodo sentenced the minor, after the First Information Report (FIR) was read and translated to him by his father. “Agreed, the convict is handicapped.

Impulse to Exchange Gifts isn't Limited to Humans

Here are some last-minute gift ideas to suit even the most discriminating individuals on your list.

For the female scorpionfly: an extremely large, glittering, nutrient-laced ball of spit, equivalent to five per cent to 10 per cent of a male fly’s body mass. Gentlemen: Too worn down by the holidays to cough up such an expensive package? Try giving her a dead insect instead. You can always steal it back later.

For the male Zeus bug: a monthlong excursion aboard the luxury liner that is the much larger female’s back, with its scooped-out seat tailored to his dimensions and a pair of dorsal glands to supply the passenger with all the proteinaceous wax he can swallow.

For the bonobo you’ve just met: half your food, at least. Just shovel it over. Sharing is fun!

For the bonobos you’ve known your whole life: Eh, maybe nothing this year. It’s not like they’ll stop being your friend if you “forget” to toss them a banana.

We may denounce the hyper-consumerism of the Christmas season until were Hanukkah blue in the face, but much of our economy relies on the strength of the gift-giving impulse and with good reason: The drive to exchange presents is ancient, transcultural and by no means limited to Homo sapiens. Researchers have found striking examples of gift-giving across the phyletic landscape in insects, spiders, mollusks, birds and mammals.

Many of these donations fall under the rubric of nuptial gifts, items or services offered up during the elaborate haggle of animal courtship to better the odds that one’s gametes will find purchase in the next generation. Hungry? Why don’t you go ahead and chew on the droplets oozing from my hind-leg spur while I just take a few moments to deposit a sperm packet in the neighborhood of your genitals?

Nuptial gifts can also be a gift for researchers, allowing them to precisely quantify a donor animal’s investment in mating and reproduction and to track the subtleties of sexual competition and collusion by analyzing the chemical composition of a given bag of courtship swag.

“This is an incredibly cool and important topic in sexual selection that we’re just beginning to explore,” said Sara M. Lewis, a professor of biology at Tufts University who has written extensively about nuptial gifts. “The bright side of nuptial gifts is, here’s a way that males can contribute things that are essential to his mate and to his future offspring.

“On the other hand, the gifts can be a source of sexual conflict, a way of manipulating the female into doing what he wants,” she said. “So there is a lot of back and forth over evolutionary time.”

Other researchers are studying how animals use gifts socially to foster alliances or appease dominant members of the group. Grooming among primates is considered a form of gift-giving, and, in most cases, it’s the subordinates who do the tick-picking: betas groom alphas, females groom males.

A nuptial or other animal gift is, by definition, something that is voluntarily given, Lewis said. “But that doesn’t mean its voluntarily received,” she added. “We’ve all gotten gifts that we didn’t want and wished we could return.”

One example of a possibly unwelcome gift, she said, is the snail’s love dart. Land snails like the ones in a garden are hermaphroditic, meaning they produce both eggs and sperm, and they mate by swapping sperm with other snails, often promiscuously. This is why, before copulation, a snail will try to pierce its partner with a love dart, a harpoon-like structure made of calcium carbonate and produced in the snails genital region.

Barely an eighth of an inch long, coated in mucus and ejected with considerable force, the dart may penetrate anywhere on the other snail’s body: through the shell, the head, even the eye. And when it does, it delivers a “gift” of potent hormones, which scientists have lately determined offer little obvious benefit to the recipient, but, instead, help promote the retention of the donor’s sperm over that of competing snails. No mere victim, the punctured mollusk retorts with a flirty fléchette of its own, at which point the dueling Cupids will copulate.

In most cases, though, a male’s nuptial gift is something the female wants or needs. Martin Edvardsson, an evolutionary biologist at Australian National University, studies Callosobruchus maculatus, a small, spotted beetle that is a major pest on beans and stored grains. Given their chosen meal plan, the beetles have little access to water, and the females get very thirsty while making eggs. What does a girl have to do to get a drink around here? Mate with a male.

As it turns out, a male sequesters most of the liquid he encounters as a larva inside a bean and adds it to his ejaculate. Should a parched female solicit him, hell mount and pump in the stored water along with his sperm packet, for seven or eight minutes at a time. The emission is a veritable cataract.

“When I’ve given talks, I use props,” Edvardsson said. “I’ll bring in four two-liter containers of milk” proportionally speaking, that is the human equivalent of the male beetles ejaculate “and I’ll hold up a little soy sauce packet from a takeout restaurant”: the actual volume of a human ejaculate. Edvardsson and his colleagues have shown that the thirstier a female beetle is, the more often she mates; and the more water she secures, the more eggs she lays.

Gifts can be costly to make or acquire. The salivary mass that a male scorpionfly secretes to lure in a peckish female is packed with so much protein and nutrients that a less-robust suitor may forgo the effort and resort to offering a female a dead insect, instead. Unlike a spitball, the insect corpse has the benefit of being reclaimable, at least in part, after mating is through.

WAEC introduces 39 New Subjects

The West African Examinations Council has announced the introduction of 39 new subjects in its examinations. The Council’s Acting Head, Test Development Division, Mrs. Olayinka Ajibade, who announced this, said the new subjects would commence in this year’s May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Ajibade said this while delivering a paper titled “The New Senior Secondary Education Curriculum in Nigeria: Implications for Assessment” at the council’s monthly seminar in Lagos on Friday.
The fresh initiative, she said, was in accordance with the Nigerian Education Research and Development Council’s new secondary school curriculum.
The NERDC is the body responsible for reviewing primary and secondary schools’ curricula in the country.
She said, “The implementation of the new SSCE curricula began in September 2011, meaning that the maiden public examinations based on the new/ revised curricula are expected to be held in May/ June 2014.
“Each WASSCE syllabus is derived from the senior secondary education curriculum. In addition to the 39 new subjects for which NERDC engaged in curriculum development, curriculum review was also carried out for 35 existing subjects.”
In the new curriculum, four new subjects- Computer Studies, Insurance, Store Management and Office Practice- are in the electives category, while the remaining 35 subjects are in the Trades category.
Among subjects in the trade category are Painting and Decorating, Photography, Salesmanship, Plumbing and Pipe Fitting, and Upholstery.
Ajibade added that under the fresh directive, students would be required to take four core subjects, comprising English Language, General Mathematics, Civic Education and Trade/ Entrepreneurial Studies.
The candidates, she added, would be required to choose three or four subjects from Humanities, Science, Technology and Business Studies depending on their potential and interest.
Ajibade, while unveiling this, noted however that the new directive would face some challenges.
She identified inadequate teachers, appalling state of facilities in schools and large class size as some of the challenges that would likely beset the initiative.

Soldiers ‘beat up’ Ondo hospital workers

About 20 soldiers allegedly beat up health workers at the General Hospital in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, on Wednesday afternoon. It was learnt that the soldiers assaulted anyone in sight. An eyewitness said many workers got injured while trying to escape from the soldiers. Those unlucky were rough handled and are recuperating at various hospitals. The Chief Medical Director (CMD) and other senior staff reportedly went into hiding. It was learnt that the soldiers were protesting against the rejection of their colleague’s body by the hospital’s mortuary. Sources said the soldiers brought the body on Tuesday evening but the management said the mortuary was congested. One of the injured workers said: “Efforts made by the soldiers to deposit the body here were unsuccessful, so they went back with it . “On Wednesday morning, the soldiers came here fully armed, as if they were going to war. They started beating up the people they met on their way and disrupted activities in the hospital. Doctors, nurses and other health workers were beaten up.“ Police spokesman Wole Ogodo said he was not aware of the incident. The Army Public Relations (APR) Unit of the 232 Brigade Command, Owena Barracks, Akure, could not be reached for comments. A high ranking officer in the command denied the allegation, saying: “Today’s Nigerian Army is more discipline and civil to commit such crude acts.” He said the people that attacked the hospital could be miscreants disguised in fake army uniforms.

Narrow Escape as a Car hits a man's Kitchen

A man had a narrow escape after a car ploughed into his kitchen at 30mph and shunted the oven across the room – minutes after he had cooked some sausages.

Nick Poole, 40, had taken just two bites out of his sausage sandwich when he heard a huge bang and rushed back into the kitchen to find a Citroen C5 had reversed into the house.

Mr Poole, who was housesitting for his parents Josie and Tony Poole while they were on holiday, said the noise was so loud he thought a plane had hit the house.

"I was incredibly lucky the car didn't hit me as I had been cooking in the kitchen just one minute before," he said.

"I was sitting in the lounge and had just started eating when I heard lots of loud bangs, one after the other. It was so loud I thought a plane had crashed into the house.
 "I ran into the kitchen and I couldn't believe it when I saw the car inside, I'm still quite shaken about it."
The car was reversed into the house by a female neighbour who lives opposite Mr Poole.
"I think she had a problem with her engine and when she hit reverse the car shot back at high speed," added Mr Poole, a garage owner, who lives in Bassingbourn, Hertfordshire.
"It must have hit the house at about 30mph, but luckily the woman was fine and the back of the car took the impact.
"She was very shaken and in shock and her husband rushed over from across the street and got her out."
The car hit the gas mains and water pipes and flooded the kitchen.
The street had to be evacuated while the fire services and police dealt with the incident, which happened at about 2.30pm last Saturday.
Two fire services from Hertfordshire attended, as well as Hertfordshire police and the National Grid.
A spokeswoman for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The gas main was leaking gas so we established an exclusion zone and we made the area safe until the arrival of the gas board."
Mr Poole's mother Josie, 60, and her husband Tony, 64, had only moved into their home five months ago, after spending a year renovating it.
They had decided to downsize after 35 years and move into the house, which used to belong to Mrs Poole's mother.
Mrs Poole, who returned home from the Canary Islands on Wednesday evening, said: "My son was good at telling us what had happened so we came back knowing it would be devastated.
"We have only lived in the house for a few months and it wasn't quite finished, now we've got to start again.
"Nick was so lucky not to have been hit by the car, I think he is still quite shaken about it.
"The car hit the cooker with such force it shot across the room into a cupboard on the other side."
The couple are staying in the house while the damage is dealt with by their insurance company.

Queen Bee has joined other celebrities including Oprah and husband Jay Z, (who has a Georgetown University sociology course named after him), who are studied in the University. The course is called Politicizing Beyonce and can be taken at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

The University’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies will be exploring the social & cultural significance of the songstress’s music and image.

The course will allow fans to explore Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce, and debate the extent of control she has over her own image. They will also debate whether her red hot persona is an outlet of female sexual empowerment or merely complying with western gender stereotypes.

"This isn’t a course about Beyonce’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend. She certainly pushes boundaries. While other artists are simply releasing music, she’s creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona.’ Kevin Allred, the person in charge of the course at Rutgers University said. I wonder the kinda impact this studying this course may bring. It's a plus+ for her anyway

How To Fix "Storage Space Running Out" Problem On Android

As a phone guru and phone technician, I've come across this problem. I've tried several ways like deleting files from my friends android but it wasn't the solution. I believe this will help a lot. The files in "Internal Storage" cannot be browsed using a normal file browser because inherently Android states that files in this storage be 'private'. I figured there must be something inside that is roughly the size of 10GB.. 1. Root your phone. For a general idea or a step-by-step method for S2 I9100G (which is my phone) refer here. 2. Download the Root Browser app fro here: https://play.google.com/store /apps/details?id=com.jrummy.roo t.browserfree&hl=en 3. Reboot 4. Open the newly installed Root Browser app, a pop up will come stating if you want to give the app root permission. Grant it. 5. Navigate to /data/ and delete the folder "log" 6. See the magic :) The log folder in my case was full of trash since 6 months. The screenshot below shows the contents of the 'log' folder. Each entry is around 600 KB in length. Every day around 7-10 of such entries were created by my phone. Every day!!! Source - http://www.qazimamoon.com /2013/08/storage-space- running-out-on-android.html

Don't Hate Them but Hate the Act. Man delivered from been Gay in SCOAN

Mr Tedus, a Nigerian from Imo State but residing in Cameroon, was travelling to Asia and had a long stopover in an African country where he stayed in a hotel with a swimming pool. He went for a swim with fellow men then went to eat and sleep. That night in a dream, he saw himself swimming in the same swimming pool naked with other men. When he woke up, he was sweating and something entered him and he realised that he no longer had passion for women but rather began to develop passion for men like him. Returning after the trip, broke his relationship with his fiancée who was shocked and could not understand why. Once free from the relationship, something pushed him to research on the internet about relationships with men. As a translator into the French language in his church, he continued assisting in the church while still living that lifestyle and indulging in these sinful desires. One day, his pastor asked him to go to The SCOAN for deliverance but did not specify why. On New Year’s Eve, he decided that he could not enter 2014 the same and persuaded his cousin to fund his ticket to visit The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria. He arrived in Lagos and found a hotel. He saw the same man from the hotel in his dreams having an affair with him and immediately woke up and determined that he could not sleep anymore but rather made his way to The SCOAN that night. Upon arriving at The SCOAN, he was in one of the many overflow canopies and could not get a pass to enter the church. From nowhere, an old woman who he had never met before handed him a pass, saying, “Here, take mine and go inside.” He entered and when the wise men were praying, he started to feel like running away. As Wise Man Christopher approached him, he became angry and when he touched him, a voice within him spoke out and he lost control of himself. He knew he was speaking but did not know what he was saying until he was finally delivered in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, after his deliverance, he testified that his desires have changed and he no longer has passion for men but rather for women. He can now pray and read his Bible without distraction and diversion. In his advice he said, “Now I am delivered, I no longer have affection for men but for ladies. If you come across someone with the same problem, you should not condemn. The only answer is deliverance.” Let us remember the words of Prophet T.B. Joshua. Anytime we strive against people, we fight the wrong battle. God loves sinners but hates sin. We should hate the act but not the people. If we fail to see that there are powers that cause people to be bowed down in bondage, we are fighting the wrong battle. Source - www.emmanuel.tv

Porn Movie Filmed At Uni Campus in Broad Daylight Enraged Officials

A porn actor managed to film a seedy movie at a university campus in broad daylight. The self-shot film, with the imaginative title 'Johnny Rockard at University of West of England in Bristol. Student pick up, and public sex with horny Xzena', has been viewed more than 41,000 times on a sex website. Police are now investigating exactly how Johnny managed to film his sex sessions on campus with the so-called student - who both have no connection to the university. The film shows the actor wandering among students at the University of the West England (UWE) before chatting up pretty student Xzena, 22. She then performs a sex on him at the campus gates and the romp continues on a bus heading into Bristol city centre. University vice-chancellor Steve West said:"I am appalled that the university should be subject to such behaviour from someone with no connection to the university, resulting in a false and misleading representation of the university. We have worked with the Students' Union, staff, our on-campus security, have involved the police to investigate and have taken legal action." The film was was shot during the summer holidays but students can be seen milling around the campus in Filton, north Bristol. Johnny films himself wandering around until he strikes up a conversation with Xzena, who says she is a third-year psychology student. After engaging in sex acts at the campus and on the bus, other scenes were shot at the steps to a flyover in Bristol city centre and later at a property. Johnny - who claims his company is"probably the most globally publicised and promoted UK name in adult entertainments"- insisted no laws were broken, insisting the university is a "public space". A spokesman for the Bristol-based company said:"It is a public space. If I was in their buildings they could take issue but it is public land, so I have not breached any law." On her blog Xzena, from Cardiff, said the video was her "very first experience of porn" and she made hundreds of pounds from the filthy shoot. She wrote:"This whole experience was exhilarating, and edgy to say the least, and I absolutely LOVED every minute of it!!!" A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said they were aware of the incident and were investigating whether any offences had been committed - potentially outraging public decency. He said:"The incident was reported to us on Monday, January 20. We are investigating an allegation that somebody has gone onto the campus grounds and made an adult film with a suspected female actress in a public space. We are currently looking into this incident and whether any offences have been committed."

A Very Touching Story On ATTITUDE!!!

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As She would need to wait many hours, She decided to buy a book to spend her time and also bought a packet of cookies, then sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading. When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought “What a nerve!, If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!” For each cookie She took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn’t want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: “ah... What would this abusive man do now?”, then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half. Ah!.... That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, She insulted the man, took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place. When She sat down in her seat, inside the plane, She looked into her bag to take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened! She felt so ashamed!! She realized that she was wrong. She had forgotten that her cookies were in her bag. The man had shared his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter, while She had been very angry, thinking that She was sharing her cookies with him. And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to apologize.” In life, there are 4 things that you cannot recover. 1. The cake....after it's eaten! 2. The word.....after it’s been said! 3. The occasion.....after the loss! 4. The time.....after it’s gone! Let's all becareful and watch Our ATTITUDE ALWAYS!!! ***Thanks to Kappa7745 of Nairaland.

T.B Joshua Answer Question On Gays And Lesbians

QUESTION: “T.B. Joshua, what do you have to say about same sex marriage – I mean, gays and lesbians?” ANSWER: “Judge not, so that you will not be judged (Matthew 7:1). We should talk to people to be saved and not to die. I mean, we should talk salvation, not condemnation. The Bible is my standard. “If my parents were one, I would not have been given birth to. Those that are asking this question – if your parents were one, you would not have been given birth to. You that are reading me – if your parents were one, you would not be reading this today. God bless the reader and the hearer.” – T.B. Joshua SOURCE: http://www.facebook.com/tbjministries
