Ex-Oyo gov, Ladoja, loses son in auto crash
A former Governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, on Thursday lost one of his sons in an auto crash on the Eko Bridge in Lagos.
The deceased, identified as Adebola Ladoja, was driving a Golf saloon car, marked, AKD 107 CJ, and was said to be on his way to Lagos Island when a Daf truck, with number plate, JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, rammed into his car on the Eko Bridge.
An eyewitness said the driver of the Daf truck, who was on top speed, lost control of his vehicle, rammed into the median of the bridge, before he eventually crashed into the deceased’s car.
He said, “It took several hours before the victim could be rescued from the wreckage of the vehicle. He was trapped behind the wheels with blood gushing out of his head.”
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident, added that it occurred at about 3.30pm.
She said, “At about 3.30pm on the Eko Bridge, Lagos Island, a Daf truck with number plate, JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, ran into a Volkswagen Golf saloon car, marked, AKD 107 CJ, driven by one Adebola Ladoja, the son of a former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasheed Ladoja.
“The victim died on the spot. The corpse has been removed to the Lagos Island General Hospital mortuary for autopsy while the truck driver has been arrested.”
Some friends of Adebola took to Facebook to mourn the deceased
One of them, Kiri Phoenix Gray, wrote, “Omg I’m in such shock to find out my friend Dee CaKe Ladoja is no longer with us. I’ll never forget what such an amazing friend you were to me Dee and the only person I had when I first moved to London. I’ll miss you so much and I regret all the times we said we needed to catch up recently and didn’t. It was only a couple of weeks ago since we spoke and I won’t forget that conversation.
Another friend, Folarin Amosu, wrote, “Adebola Ladoja, my aburo, my good friend and ex colleague, Just heard the sad news about your accident that led to death. Why bro??? Still saw you two weeks ago when you visited me, we had a lovely time laughing and sharing business ideas.
‘‘You are the true legend Debola. Personally you will always be in my heart and I will always miss you
16-Year Old Boy Murders Parents Because They Seized His IPhone
16 year old Vincent Parker pleaded guilty yesterday to murdering his parents Carol and Wayne Parker last December. The boy says that there was no specific fight that prompted the brutal MURDER. The sadistic killer told authorities, 'I just remember getting mad,' Parker told the court. 'It's all from my dad. All this stuff like my dad taking away my iPod and stuff.'
The story gets worse. Vincent was an only child being raised by his hard working parents Carol, 57, and father Wayne, 55, in their Norfolk, Virginia home. They did everything right - they lived in a good neighborhood, and helped Vincent become an honor roll student.
But he boy snapped one day . . . and turned into a moster. On December 19, 2013 Vincent left school early while his dad was still at work. He showed up at the family home and surprised his mother - by dousing her in pepper spray.
While the 57 year old woman was blinded and unable to defend herself, Vincent stabbed his mother in the eye, and then beat her with a crowbar and metal baseball bat 'until she stopped breathing'. A medical examiner noted 25 separate smashes and stabs on Mrs Parker's neck, face and head.
The animal then waited patiently over his dead mother's body until his father came in the house. He surprised his dad and hit him in the back of the head with a crowbar, smashing his skull. He then stabbed his father multiple times.
Luckily his father didn't die from the mortal wounds. He managed to call 9-1-1 and tell them what happened. When the ambulance arrived Carol had already died. Wayne survived a short time but died in the hospital.
Yesterday Vincent plead guilty to two counts of second degree murder. A psychological evaluation found him to be both 100% sane and intelligent. He was charged as an adult and will be sentenced in September.

Professors, perm secs to earn full salaries as pension
Pension stipends received by professors and permanent secretaries will be augmented by the Federal Government when the new Pension Reform Act is eventually passed into law, investigation has revealed.
This development will enable them to continue to earn their full salaries in retirement even when they don’t have enough funds in their Retirement Savings Accounts, unlike other retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme.
The National Pension Commission had told the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service and the House of Representatives Committee on Pension that some categories of workers were unable to get sufficient pension stipends as provided by the law.
These include top public servants like permanent secretaries, police officers, professors and others whose conditions of service prior to the enactment of the Pension Reform Act, 2004 allowed them to enjoy 100 per cent of their final pay as pension for life.
PenCom recommended to the Senate that the Federal Government should establish a severance package for them in addition to their retirement benefits under the CPS.
The memorandum submitted by PenCom to the Senate Committee on Pensions on the bill to repeal the PRA 2004 and enact the Pension Reform Act, 2013 made provisions for adjustments.
The Acting-Director General, PenCom, Mrs. Chinelo Anohu-Amazu, noted that Section 5(1) of the PRA 2013 included under the list of persons exempted from the scheme, professors covered by the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) Amendment Act, 2012 and categories of employees entitled by virtue of their terms and conditions of service to retire with full retirement benefits.
According to her, this is not the intention of the amendment.
“These two categories of persons are not meant to be exempted from the Contributory Pension Scheme. Rather, they will continue to be under the CPS but will, upon retirement, get their full retirement benefits,” she said.
PenCom recommended that this should be rectified to reflect the true intention of the amendment.
The amended bill has passed through the necessary readings and is being harmonised prior to being passed into law by legislature and assented to by the President.
However, not all professors may enjoy this privilege because its implementation may be limited to those who became professors at least 20 years before retirement.
While the PRA requires that they should continue to contribute part of their monthly emolument into their RSAs, their pension benefits will not be dependent on the level of their contributions because the Federal Government will cover whatever shortage may occur.
The payment of retirement benefits under Section 4(1) (c) of the PRA 2004 allows for a lump sum payment to a retiree, provided that the amount left after the lump sum withdrawal will be sufficient to fund a programmed withdrawal over an expected life span or annuity for life, of not less than 50 per cent of his annual remuneration as of the date of retirement.
This therefore makes the monthly pension withdrawals to be a first charge on the RSA balance, while the residual, after providing for the monthly withdrawals, will be paid as lump sum.

Convicted Kabiru Sokoto Asks for Pardon
Convicted Boko Haram member, Kabiru Umar (aka Kabiru Sokoto), has appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan for pardon, promising to assist the government in its efforts to end the activities of the now outlawed sect.
Umar was convicted of a two-count charge on terrorism by a Federal High Court in Abuja on December 20 last year and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The court found him guilty of facilitating the commission of terrorism acts and concealing information from security agencies on the December 25, 2011 bombing of St Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madala, Niger State.
In a letter to the president, written on his behalf by his lawyer, Sheriff Okoh, Umar said he was innocent of the offences for which he was convicted.
He also faulted the process leading to his conviction and has also appealed the high court judgment before the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
The letter to the president reads: “Your Excellency Sir, an innocent man was convicted by the court on the date aforementioned.
“It is for this singular reason that we are applying to you for presidential pardon in the circumstances, pursuant to your exclusive legitimate constitutional powers as enshrined in your golden conscience and under Section 175(a) and (b) of the Constitution.
“Your Excellency Sir, we are applying for respite and pardon for the convicted felon Kabiru Umar (alias Kabiru Sokoto) because we have absolute faith in your compassion and highest sense of fairness, equity and justice first as a God-fearing man and next, as the leader of the most compassionate nation on earth.
“Had Kabiru Sokoto been sentenced in an open court for the corporate acts of Boko Haram as a terrorist organsiation, we would not have spared a thought to make this application, but he was sentenced alone for acts committed by other members of Boko Haram (an organisation that was only proscribed after his arrest, detention and the making of his no-case submission before the Federal High Court, Abuja division.)
“Your Excellency, we vow to reach out beyond the imagination and work with you in resolving the Boko Haram imbroglio, with the firm belief that no quarrel of brotherhood is eternal. We shall undertake this national task for the pleasure of God almighty, believing in His divine will for our peaceful, united, symbiotic and mutual coexistence as brothers and sisters under a fair and just leader.
“We most honestly and sincerely urge you to exercise your prerogative of mercy and grant pardon or respite in this matter in the interest of justice. The law permits you to right each and every wrong in Nigeria, including those of the courts and this is one good situation where such powers under Section 175 of our grund norm serve the collective interest of our beloved nation towards peace and harmony.”
In his appeal, he claimed that he was wrongly convicted and urged the appellate court to set his conviction aside.
Sokoto had raised five grounds of appeal, including arguing that the trial judge erred in law when he resolved all the doubts, with respect to improper investigation of the case, in favour of the prosecution, a decision he said occasioned a miscarriage of justice.

Onazi Escapes bomb blast in Jos
Ogenyi Onazi says he feels fortunate to be alive after he narrowly avoided last week’s bombings in the city of Jos.
The blasts at a crowded bus terminal and market killed at least 118 people.
Onazi, 21, who was born in Jos, had just left the popular Jos Main Market last Tuesday, when the first blast rocked the area.
The midfielder, who plays for Italian Serie A side Lazio, said: “I am very, very lucky, just by the grace of God.”
Onazi is now with the Super Eagles squad in London as they prepare for today’s friendly against Scotland and he says he has been struggling to erase the memories of that dark day.
Recounting his lucky escape, he told BBC Sport: “It was just like an ordinary day. Happy faces and friendly warmth that makes you feel happy to be back home.
“We had gone to the railway market to get something. I think it was 15 minutes later when we heard the loud blast from the place. And suddenly, people were just running.
“There was chaos and pandemonium. There was smoke, I was confused, lost and just wondered what had happened. I had no idea what was going on and it was scary.
“All my life I have never heard a bang or boom like that.”
The second blast killed some of the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, which was obscured by billows of black smoke.
A week later, far away from the city where his parents are based and preparing for his first World Cup with the Super Eagles, Onazi insists the unrest back home has made it difficult to focus on football.
“Some will say I should be happy to be alive but I just feel concerned about the security challenges in Jos and Nigeria as a country,” he said.
“I was born and bred in a peaceful Jos. I may be fortunate enough to live outside the place right now, but I still have my family and friends who live in the city.
“I always get worried when there are reports of terrible incidents there on a regular basis. It’s sad and depressing to live with this.
“Personally, I think there is a need for a holistic approach to solving this problem once and for all.
“Innocent people are dying and the government seriously needs to step up security across the country.”
Another blast happened in Jos days after that incident, in an explosion that targeted football fans watching the European Champions League final, the authorities said.
At least three people died and three others were injured in the blast, according to Chris Olakpe, the commissioner of police for Plateau state.
Holland's Van der Vaart misses World Cup
.Netherlands star Rafael van der Vaart has been ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a calf injury.
The Hamburg midfielder had been named in Louis van Gaal's 30-man preliminary squad but will not make the final 23 after suffering a setback during training in Portugal on Tuesday.
A statement on the KNVB website read: "Rafael van der Vaart will miss the World Cup in Brazil. The Oranje international has strained a calf muscle in his right leg and coach Louis van Gaal has therefore decided not to include him in his final selection."
Van der Vaart, who has won 109 caps for his country, was a key part of the Netherlands side that finished as runners-up to Spain in the last World Cup but has had to contend with fitness troubles and a loss of form in recent months as Hamburg battled to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga.
Before suffering this latest injury setback, he had told Dutch newspaper De Telegraafthat he had endured "the worst six months of my entire career" but had been confident of being at his best for this summer's tournament.
"I will train hard, give it my all and try to become 100 percent fit to rediscover the form I was showing before the winter break," he had said.
Van Gaal had also suggested he would be involved despite his recent fitness troubles, saying: "If I feel that a non-fit player will give me more than one who is at peak fitness, I will take the non-fit player, because I still have the opportunity to get him fit."
The Netherlands, who are already without Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, face Spain, Chile and Australia in Group B this summer.
Increment Of Fees: OAU Student Writes Open Letter To VC
Like most students, I have always admired you. From the very first day I saw and heard you speak, I have since then even until now reserved for you good judgements contrary to the very bad ones spreading like wildfire. As much as I would have loved to sound obscene in this piece of mine, I choose to maintain some decorum instead, as this is very much required at this point in time. Cutting all craps and going straight to the point, avoiding every form of side attractions and putting on hold every form of sentiments I might have had and may still have for you, I consider it sad, absurd and utterly inadequate the reasons you gave as regard the outrageous and unfair increment in the school fees, save some few.
Just to let you know sir, I am writing this letter based on what is known, obvious and crystal clear from reliable and confirmed sources – such as the press, distinguished members of the student’s union and their likes. I have been disappointed so far on how you have not been able to sustain at least a particular reason for your action. The reasons so far have become chameleonic in nature, changing with seasons and interviews that suites its purpose. First it was that our fees are ridiculous because of how cheap they were, then onto the university being underfunded; the most recent reason, the one blaming the increment on the high inflation rate didn’t even make any attempt to drive the nail in. Please sir, kindly make up your mind and carry us along with the real motive(s) behind the sudden increment in the school fees. The next set of reason(s) I await, as I am sure can be reasoned out if weighed properly.
I am not against an increment in school fees, as long as it is proper, rational and realistic. The absurdness and percentage of the increase is nothing to write home about. The heat of whatever the management is facing should not and cannot be taken out on innocent students who fought their way through the tough admission process. That is why it is called a federal university dutifully under a federal ministry of education. I believe strongly that anything whatsoever pertaining to the running and management of the university should be taken out on the ministry, not on the students who can barely afford a credible accommodation, one of human basic needs, in an academic year.
I plead that you listen to the likes of Senator Omisore, The Ooni of Ife and other influential personnel, who have strongly condemned and advice against this increment. The poor deserves quality education too. With this unjust increment in school fees, you’ll only add to the number of dropouts some of whom are trying to fight their way back into the higher institution. Education is for the masses and the unfair decision you spearheaded and suddenly made known to us few weeks to the start of a new session must not deprive those who are ready to get educated the chance to.
The students are not ready to back down from the current struggle. Those who can afford it and those who can’t – we are all in this together. It is important you realize that not all student have Samsung galaxy tabs like you said, those fancy cars you see on campus are few in number compared to the population of the students. We cannot because of the luxury of a few conclude or make decisions that affects the generality of the population, most of whom who live from “hand to mouth.” Everything just seems wrong and awkward– the fees, the timing, the reasons and so on. Need I remind you, the LASU struggle is still on and getting out of hand – I don’t pray same in our case!
Therefore, I beseech you sir to restructure, re-plan, re-strategize and reorganize whatever it is you can lay hands on to ensure a fair and just academic year. If the fees were this high during your undergraduate days, Nigeria will not be where it is today as many prospects will be on the street jobless now. Most of our Great Ife alumni, who indeed have the ability to head a family and run a home, have the affordability and professionalism of the university to thank. Great Ife is indeed great; a lot of things contribute to this greatness, the most spectacular being that the child of a common man can get the same or even better education the rich claims to be chasing as a result of them looking down on us. Please maintain our greatness and don’t take OAU away from us. Great Ife lives on!
Thank you.

Pregnant Pakistani woman stoned to death by family members
Relatives of a pregnant woman beat her to death with bricks near a court building in eastern Pakistan after she married a man against their will, authorities said.
Farzana Parveen, 25, was attacked Tuesday close to the high court in Lahore by a group of about 20 people, including her brothers, father and cousin, police said.
One family member made a noose of rough cloth around her neck while her brothers smashed bricks into her skull, said Mushtaq Ahmed, a police official, citing the preliminary report into the killing. She was three months pregnant, he said.
What had Parveen, who came from a village in Punjab, done to provoke such a brutal attack?
Police officials said she had refused to wed the cousin whom her family had selected for her, choosing instead to elope with a widower named Mohammad Iqbal.
The cousin her family wanted her to marry was among the people who attacked her, police said.
The family had challenged her marriage to Iqbal in the courts, accusing him of abducting her. The attack took place as Parveen was on her way from her lawyer’s office headed to the high court in Lahore, where she was expected to make a declaration that she had married Iqbal of her own volition.
So-called honor killings often originate from tribal traditions in Pakistan, but are not a part of Islam. Although they’re common in rural areas, Tuesday’s attack in a public area of a big city was unusual.
One of Pakistan’s leading newspapers, The Nation, expressed outrage over Parveen’s killing .
“The familiar brand of barbaric ‘justice’ yet again triumphs over the written law of the land,” it said in an editorial Wednesday. “Another case is settled outside the courts. Another woman, in search of justice, stoned to death, in the name of honor.”
According to a report published in April by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, 869 women were the victims of honor killings last year.
But Farzana Bari, a human rights activist based in Islamabad, said the real number may be far higher since many families don’t report the crimes.
She said that in many cases, people outside the family don’t step in to protect the victim.
“I’ve seen in the past people stand around and watch, and don’t intervene because it is a private matter,” she told CNN on Wednesday.
And the killers often avoid prosecution.
Under an Islamic element of Pakistani law, known as the law of Diyat, the family of a victim is allowed to forgive the perpetrator, according to the human rights commission’s report.
“Thus the victim’s family usually is related to the perpetrator as well, and conveniently forgives their kin, absolving them of the murder,” the report said. That possibility of impunity has “continued to encourage others to follow suit,” it said.
Police said they had arrested Parveen’s father, whose name they gave only as Azeem. They said he had admitted to the killing and expressed no regret.
National Conference delegates vote to tax churches, mosques
Delegates at the ongoing National Conference yesterday May 27th voted unanimously for churches & mosques to pay taxes. The delegates arrived at the decision after deliberating on recommendations made by the Committee on Religion.
A delegate representing Civil Organizations, Mallam Naseer Kura, during the deliberation observed that most religious leaders in Nigeria are now making a lot of money from their organizations and so should be taxed accordingly.
Supporting his arguement, Isaac Ighure a delegate representing the Nigeria Guild of Editors, in his submission said most religious leaders had so much money now to buy jets while their followers are living in abject poverty and asked that they should be made to pay taxes. "Some people buy private jets when people in their churches are suffering and living in abject poverty, they should be made to pay taxes,” he said.
The recommendations to pay tax will be submitted to the National Assembly at the end of the conference and if accepted by the National Assembly, it would then be passed into law. Who agrees that religious organizations should pay tax?

ASUP/COEASU strike: Commission kicks against payment of arrears
Nyesom Wike
The Federal Government on Tuesday alleged that the Salaries, Wages and Income Commission was opposed to the payment of arrears owed striking lecturers of Federal Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyisome Wike made the allegation at a meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on Education in Abuja.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) have been on strike for about 10 months.
Wike said “as the ministry made proposal to settle the lecturers’ arrears owed since 2009 in instalments, the commission wrote to kick against the plan.
“Government has been meeting on what to do, but the commission opposes the proposal I made to pay the arrears in installment.”
Wike said the commission was opposed to the proposal claiming that it was not consulted before the 2009 CONTISSS agreement was reached.
According to him, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim has invited those involved to a meeting with a view to resolving the matter.
He listed those invited to include the ministers of Education and Labour, the Head of Service and the Wages Commission.
The minister assured that the Federal Government would soon resolve the ongoing strike, saying it was deploying all means to reach an agreement with the unions.
He said: “We owe this country a great duty. Nobody will be sitting down happily to see our children staying at home.”
On the issue of the white paper on visitation panels to polytechnics, Wike assured that it would soon be released.
The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Aminu Suleiman (APC-Kano) appealed to the two unions and the government for amicable solution to the issues.
Mr Chibuzo Asumagha, ASUP President expressed satisfaction with the minister’s assurance, saying that his union never rejected the instalment payment.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Abdulwahid Omar cautioned the commission on its interference.
“The wages and salaries commission should not come in at this time to stall the arrangement between government and the two unions,” he said.
Couple beat 12-year-old boy to death for playing on Children’s Day
A young boy in Lagos is said to have lost his life yesterday after his guardians beat him up for delaying in carrying out his chores.
12-year-old Onyedikachi Mbanozo was allegedly beaten to death by Paul Obiefule and his wife in the Agege area of the state around 2pm.
The boy was reportedly assigned some chores but instead of doing them, he went out to play with his peers.
This incurred the wrath of the Obiefule couple who went on to beat him to death. The police were informed of the incident by an anonymous source who called them.
The Nation reports:
It was gathered that the Obiefules were always beating the boy and neighbours had always warned them of its implications.
The Nation learnt that Mbanozo was asked to carry out some domestic duties by his guardians, but he allegedly went to play with his peers on Children’s Day.
When his guardians saw him playing, they started beating him until he died, a source said.
Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), confirmed the incident.
She said: “The DPO, while on patrol with his men, received an anonymous call that a man and his wife had beaten a boy living with them to death.
“On receipt of the information, police patrol vehicles moved to the scene and brought the suspects and the deceased to the station for detailed investigations. The case is under investigation at the Pen Cinema Division.”
Photo: Mother Burns 11-Year Old Son’s Face In Ghana For Stealing
An 11-year-old boy at New Takoradi Lower Town has had his face and parts of the body burnt with an electric iron allegedly by his own biological mother, for purportedly stealing GH¢5.00 belonging to the little boy’s friend.
Daily Guide leant that the boy is currently receiving treatment at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, Western Region, for the multiple burns he sustained.

Speaking to journalists, Emmanuel Edwin Adogo, Assemblyman for Lower New Takoradi, disclosed that the little boy, Bernard Asafua, confessed to stealing the money belonging to his classmate after initially denying committing the offence.
Mr. Adogo explained that the boy’s initial denial angered his mother who allegedly injured the boy with a hot iron after subjecting him to severe beatings.
According to sources, the grandmother of the boy rushed to his rescue when she heard him screaming while he was being beaten and also the pains he was feeling from the burns.
The boy was quickly rushed to the New Takoradi Health Centre for first aid, but was later transferred to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital due to the severity of the burns.
Floyd Mayweather Denies Affair with T.I’s Wife After Brawl in Vegas
Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather is shutting down reports that he and rapper T.I got into a fight because he was sleeping with Tiny.
On Sunday, T.I allegedly ran to meet Floyd at a Fatburger Restaurant in Vegas, to confront him about having an affair with his wife.
T.I and Tiny have reportedly been having marital issues and were rumoured to contemplating divorce.
A video surfaced yesterday, showing Floyd telling T.I to “control your b**ch”, which allegedly started the fight.
Floyd revealed exclusively to Necole Bitchie that he didn’t sleep with Tiny.
On his relationship with Tiny
“I been knowing Tiny before T.I. I’ve never slept with her, I never kissed her, never touched her in no inappropriate way. Her friend Shekinah wanted to come to the [May 4th] fight, she brought Tiny with her. They came to the fight.
After the fight was over Saturday night, Sunday they came over my mother’s house. My mother had a big, big party for me. They came over and showed love. They came over to my house all cool, all respect. Hang out with The Money Team, my crew. Everybody was cordial. No disrespecting type. After that, I guess she put a picture up on Instagram of her at the fight so I guess he [T.I.] was feeling some type of way”
I Can Not Give Your Letter To Boko Haram, First Lady Tells Nigerian Children
Yesterday while celebrating the 2014 children’s Day at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, in Abuja, the first lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan advised children and Nigerians to stop abusing her husband because God made him the head of state.
Addressing the children further and quoting the scriptures, she said it is non-biblical to abuse ones parents and leaders of a nation.
“The Almighty God commands us to pray for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our country and the President. Remember that a child that abuses his father and mother is disobeying God’s commandment because the Bible says in Exodus 20:12 that you should honour your father and mother so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you.”
They also presented letters to her to give the president and the Boko Haram sect, but the first lady responded and said she will give their letter to the president, but can’t give Boko Haram sect because she does not know who they are. Her words;
“Let me thank the children that gave me a letter to give Boko Haram. Well, I have received your letter, but I am not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don’t know Boko Haram and I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to the NSS or the Chief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly.
“To my children, thank you for your letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave to me. I will make sure I pass it to the President because it is addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram. That is why the two are different,” she said.

Teacher who defiled minor says one of them made passes at him
A 38 year old nursery school teacher who was arrested yesterday for defiling three minors says he's not to blame so much because one of the minors made passes at him. Olayinka Oluwadare Folarin, (pictured above) took the young girls to the school toilet where he sexually molested them. Speaking during his interrogation yesterday, the paedoaphile said a little girl was the first to make a pass at him
"One of them made advances at me. You know how children play with you in a funny way. This thing is beyond me.” he said
Mr Folarin, who has been arrested before for molesting children, said he believes he's under some demonic attack that pushes him to commit the act and so shouldn't be judged

"One of them made advances at me. You know how children play with you in a funny way. This thing is beyond me.” he said
Mr Folarin, who has been arrested before for molesting children, said he believes he's under some demonic attack that pushes him to commit the act and so shouldn't be judged

Why Nigeria girls love clit sucking
18+ only
Many babes in Nigeria now like to be sucked during s.ex. And that is authoritative. Unlike years ago when sucking was seen as a dirty habit, these days it is the wish of many girl for her se,xual partner to part her legs and lick or suck her until she reaches or.gasm.
This same habit has been given several names like Oral S.ex. It is also known as Cun.nilingus, mu.ff diving, cl.it licking, going down, beaver licking and sucking (to employ the general parlance).
Oral se.x for women involves the stimulation of the cli.toris and vu.lva with the lips and tongue.
For many women, it is the ultimate se.xual experience, preferable to int.ercourse nowadays. For another group of women who find it difficult to reach or.gasm or ‘come’ easily during s,ex, they depend on their partner sucking them to derive the ultimate and intense pleasure of s.ex.
Unlike what obtained several years back when any attempt to “ s.uck” a woman was perceived as ‘dirty’ or unreligious, nowadays more and more women are fast becoming addicts of sucking their private parts as a ‘compulsory aspect’ of foreplay before getting down to the real business of love making.
Interestingly, more and more women are also discreet and keep the craze of sucking away from their friends and those they don’t trust. Though a lot of the big babes and celeb women now share the experiences of being sucked among themselves.
This has also instigated others who have equally come out of their shells to experiment the act of being sucked.
These days a lot of women also expect their partners to be knowledgeable about their body system. Hence they don’t want their partner to get down and start love making. They like to be aroused by the way of clit,oral or va,ginal stimulation.
Also a lot of women are increasingly frowning at men fin.gering them. The reason for this might not be unconnected with hygiene reasons.
Another reason women these days appreciate to be sucked is the urge to feel the action at their G-S.pot and Cli.toris. These 2 erogenous zones as far as a woman’s se.xual pleasures are concerned may be conquered territories, but some men don’t really have a clue about the difference between the 2.
Basically, the first thing you need to know is that the essence of both the cli.toris and the G-s.pot is to provide se.xual pleasures to a woman.
A man’s tongue in their view would do better justice than the regular and in some cases energetic ban.ging from their male partner.
The cli/toris is a small erec.tile organ located at the anterior part of the va/gina.
S.ex experts say it is the only human body whose sole function is to provide women with se.xual pleasure.
It’s pretty much the equivalent of the p.enis and in simple terms, it is that small pleasure button which is located on top of her va.gina opening-the one which can be stimulated to bring her to new se.xual heights.
On the other hand, the G-s.pot is physically similar to the male pro.state. This body part is named after Dr. Ernst Grafenberg, a German doctor who published a study in the 1950s which is entitled “The Role of Ure.thra in the Female Or.gasm”
With the increasing dislike for bare fingers, women prefer their male partner to use their tongue to locate the G-s.pot. Using the tongue to feel the tissue which is rougher than the rest of the vag.ina wall this brings a woman to mind-blowing multiple or.gasms which in most cases may not be achieved for years with the pe.nis.
For men who suffer from prematu.re ej.aculation, oral se.x is a very good way to help her get se,xual pleasure before you enter her-especially if the duration of inter.course is likely to be short due to your premature ejac.ulation.
Essentially for men who are fond of sucking, there are basic things that must not be done;
• Never bite a woman’s vag.ina-ever
• Use your tongue and fingers to maximize stimulation
• Always have an exit strategy in case you panic down there
Many women prefer cl.it licking to inter.course, and for those who require a large amount of clitoral stimulation, it is the easiest way to or.gasm.
Besides, lots of women expect it these days and men who perform great cunn.ilingus are always appreciated and considered fabulous lovers.

Busted!Wiz Khalifa Arrested For Marijuana Possession!
Were the police right to get the rapper arrested for weed?
Rapper Wiz Khalifa was arrested at the El Paso airport on Sunday for drug possession.
A TSA agent reportedly found what has been described as "green leafy substance" in his possession as he was boarding a flight to Dallas.
It's comes as no surprise as Amber Rose'shusband has never hidden his love of marijuana, but he took a selfie and tagged it "Free Trap Wiz" while he was waiting to be processed.
He later added, "EP is the only place that would arrest a rapper" and then wrote, "They're trying to figure out how many grams I had, How iconic."
Funny thing is his new single is called "28 Grams," so please do the math
Incredible: There is no Boko Haram. US and Israel Planned it to steal Nigerian Resources- Muslim cleric
Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky says the US and Israel arranged the Chibok abduction as a launch pad for an invasion of Nigeria with the aim of stealing her resources
Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky says the US, Israel plotted the Chibok abduction so they can invade Nigeria and steal resources
US, Israel and other Western powers have been accused of plotting the abduction of nearly 300 girls in Chibok, Borno state, as an excuse to invade and steal from Nigeria.
Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, made the accusation while speaking speaking at the annual Martyrs’ Day commemoration held at the Baqiyyatullah Hussainiyyah, Zaria on Saturday.
Zakzaky, said the Boko Haram sect was a myth and the girls' abduction a set-up to pave way for U.S. and Israeli military presence in Nigeria.
“Let no one be fooled, there is nothing like Boko Haram! It is a covert operation to balkanize Nigeria and steals its resources in the name of search of Boko Haram insurgents. If you can fool others, we cannot be fooled,” Zakzaky said.
According to the controversial cleric, the ultimate aim is to 'steal Nigeria's abundant resources.
“They realized there are gold deposits in Zamfara and Zaria - Birnin Gwari axis; gold and platinum in Sokoto and Borno.
"They did it in Iraq, as they went in search of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which they never found but plunged the country into chaos.
"The same thing was experimented in Afghanistan before our eyes,” the cleric said.
He also alleged that the Nigerian military is working together with the leader of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau.
“Shekau is presently being kept safe in a secret military camp,” he said.
Do you think there is any truth in what he is saying.
Being A Single Mom Is Sweet, Not That I’m Encouraging Other Women- Waje
Waje in a new interview with NETng has said being a single mom is sweet. She says though some people think she is trying to encourage younger ones, but she is only stating a fact, her own personal experience. She also spoke about finding a companion one day.
You have always said you are single, why is that?
I don`t know why, but I just feel God has a way of doing things. I have so much on my hands now, let that matter rest now, let me not go and marry now before my husband will say he wants pounded yam, cooked by his wife, not by a maid. Then I will leave everything I am doing and I will be pounding yam. But when somebody who understand my kind of person and my job comes along, then it will be easier for me. After all the troubles of the day, the traffic, somebody getting you angry, there should be that one person who can calm you. Everybody would love to have somebody as a companion, so do I.
The only Nigerian journalist with access to Boko Haram flown home to negotiate with group
Nigerian journalist, Ahmad Salkida, who previously worked for Daily Trust and Premium Times and reported extensively on Boko Haram, fled Nigeria to Dubai 2 years ago after being accused of being a Boko Haram sympathizer. He said he fled after 'his life and that of his family became endangered' after security agencies began to mistake his in-depth reporting on the terrorist group as evidence of his closeness to them. He went underground for several weeks before finally fleeing Nigeria. Salkida was perhaps the only Nigerian journalist/civilian to have access to Boko Haram, and he said at the time that he'd turned down Boko Haram's many requests for him to publish exclusive interviews and materials for them.
Anyway according to new reports, the Nigerian government flew him back home a few weeks ago to negotiate with Boko Haram on their behalf, since he's the only civilian who has allegedly seen Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and come out alive. He reportedly came back home after the Nigerian government assured him that he will not be arrested. (See his tweets). Continue...

Injured Falcao trains with Colombia
Star Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, boosted hopes that he will be fit for the World Cup, as he trained with the national squad in Argentina on Monday.
The 28-year-old Monaco player, who has scored 20 goals in 51 international appearances, suffered serious knee ligament damage in a French Cup tie on January 22 and has not played since.
Despite his four-month absence, he was named in Colombia's provisional 30-man squad for the June 12-July 13 World Cup in Brazil with June 2 set as the deadline day for the final list of 23 players to be decided.
The former River Plate, FC Porto and Atletico Madrid player is as famous in his country as singer Shakira with 46 million Colombians counting on his recovery.
Colombia's Argentine coach Jose Pekerman has brought all his players together in a luxurious hotel complex at Campana, 80km north of Buenos Aires.
Colombia play a friendly on Saturday against Senegal, followed by another on June 6 against Jordan, both in Buenos Aires.
Colombia are in Group C in the World Cup along with the talented but ageing Ivory Coast, goalshy Greece and Japan.
Suarez progressing well after surgery
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is progressing "very well" after undergoing keyhole surgery on his left knee although his chances of playing at the World Cup are still in the balance, the team doctor said on Monday.
"It's only been a few days (since the operation) but we can say that progress is very good," Alberto Pan told a news conference at the team's training camp.
"It would be adventurous to set a timeline. We have nearly three weeks ahead of us."
"We can't rule out that he will be ready for intense activity in this period, but we can't be certain, either," he added. "You can have adverse reactions and we will not know about this until he undergoes more intense activity."
Pan praised Suarez's attitude. "I've never heard a negative expression from him, he's always been positive," he said.
Suarez, who helped Uruguay to fourth place at the World Cup in South Africa four years ago, underwent surgery on Thursday and is expected to need 15 to 20 days to recover
The 27-year-old has little room for manoeuvre before Uruguay play their first match in Group D, against Costa Rica in Fortaleza on June 14.
The two-time champions also face England and Italy in the first round.
Suarez, top scorer in the English Premier League last season with 31 goals for Liverpool, is expected to miss Uruguay's warm-up matches in Montevideo against Northern Ireland on May 30 and Slovenia on June 4.
Uruguay said that Suarez sustained a knock in the club's final match of the season and felt intense pain during a training session last week.

Members Begin To Ask The Whereabouts Of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Wife
Reports getting to me say that some members of the Christ Embassy Church in UK have created a Facebook page demanding to know the whereabouts of Rev. Anita Oyakhilome, wife of Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, founder of the Christ Embassy Church.
Going through the posts and comments on the page, it’s obvious that there is panic amongst members of the church in Nigeria and abroad.
This is coming after a report earlier this year that the pastor relocated to South Africa, living separately from his wife.
According to the post on the Facebook page: “Dear brothers and sisters, please the object of this forum is very clear. We have not set this up for the ignorant. If you have no idea about what is happening in this ministry right now, then we suggest you make some enquiries and then come back here to participate sensibly or you simply ‘walk on by’.
“Some of the posts here are made by people who have been in this ministry way before some ignorant talkers here even heard of this ministry. Intelligent conversations are made with adequate information. Out of love for our woman of God, we have created this page. Some people know how she gave her whole life to us. Worked so selflessly and tirelessly to bring in to being what everybody now enjoys as Christ Embassy UK/Europe and Loveworld TV.
“The devil cannot use these people to harm God’s anointed. We ask all of you to pray for our woman of God. Those against her, from pastors to staff, the Lord will put them to shame, one after the other. In your churches today, please remember to pray earnestly for her. God bless you all and please only constructive posts on this page, we may be forced to delete your post otherwise.“

Supreme Court orders lawyer to pay N8m fine to Delta state governor
The Supreme Court today Monday May 26th ordered Dr Dickson Osuala to pay N8million fine to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta and 3 others for abuse of court process, PM News reports.
Osuala was counsel to Chief Great Ogboru, candidate of the Democratic People’s Party in the 2011 Delta governorship election. Other parties in the N8 million cost are the PDP, INEC, and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) who are to get N2million each.
Osuala had, on behalf of his client, applied for a review of the court’s judgement which in 2013 upheld the election of Uduaghan of the PDP. He had claimed in his application that, Section 285 (7) of the 1999 Constitution which the Supreme Court relied on to dismiss the case, was “fraudulently inserted by the National Assembly”.
He argued that due process was not followed by the National Assembly on the section.
The counsel, therefore, submitted that it was wrong for the apex court to have relied on it to dismiss his client’s case in 2013.
Delivering his ruling, Justice Walter Onoghen blamed Osuala for not advising his client rightly and embarking on a clear case of gross abuse of the court process.
“The said N8 million is awarded as cost against the person of Dr. Dickson Osuala and is to be paid from his pocket to the respondents.
“The plaintiff, through his counsel, wants to resurrect a dead and buried horse.
“The plaintiff’s counsel should advise his client to take his case to heaven if he is not satisfied with the court’s ruling,” he said.
Onoghen said it was not the business of the court to amend the constitution, but that of the national assembly.
He advised him to go to the National Assembly or the Federal High Court to challenge the section of the constitution which he considered defective.
Osuala rejected the advice, adding that nobody should be allowed to benefit from a defective law.
NAN reports that Ogboru had twice applied for a review of the judgement but the Supreme Court had turned down his prayer on both occasions.

We Have Finally Located the Abducted Girls ––Military Confirms
At last, after over 40 days of consistent protests by Nigerians across the world for the kidnapped Chibok girls, the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, has revealed that the security leadership in the country has finally located the "dangerous den" where members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect are holding the girls they abducted from a Government Girls Secondary School in Borno State on April 14.
Air Marshal Badeh said: “We want our girls back; we want our girls back; we can do it, our military can do it but where they are held, can we go with force?
“If we go with force, what will happen? (they may kill them). So nobody should come and say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing. We know what we are doing, we can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back. So we are working.
“The good news for the girls is that we know where they are but we cannot tell you, we cannot come and tell you military secrets here. Just leave us alone, we are working, we would get the girls back.”
Stop Pretending, FG is with Shekau(Boko Haram leader)- Famous cleric leader
Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has allegedly said that the leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, is being shielded by the Nigerian military.
The Nation reports that the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, popularly called Shiite Muslim group, made this statement while speaking at the Movement’s 2014 Martyr day in Zaria on Sunday.
It was gathered that the scholar alleged that the recent wave of terrorism being carried out across the country by the Boko Haram sect were part of covert operation by the developed nations to balkanize Nigeria and plunder its resources.
Zakzaky stated that Shekau is presently being kept safe in a military camp, adding that the federal government should stop fooling Nigerians on its claim that it does not know the where-about of the Boko Haram’s leader.
He added that the aim of the Western countries is to control Africa’s rich deposits of mineral resources.
Zakzaky also called for the immediate release of two of its members, Haruna Abbas and Ibrahim Hussain, who he said were arrested over a year ago for no reasons and detained by the Nigerian government without trial.
The Islamist militant group, Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for several terror attacks across Nigeria that have claimed thousands of lives since 2009.
The latest of the attacks was a bomb explosion that occurred in Jos Saturday night which is believed to have killed three people already.

7 bad places you should never touch a woman
These places are where you touch and immediately hear Don’t Touch, Ouch, I am no longer in the mood. The study was done to help men who don’t think about this and rub up on their female partner like a piano.
1. The Tip. The Tip should be avoided being touched when she is breastfeeding and when she is about to have her period because it really hurts.
2. The Leg. When the leg is not shaved, you men should avoid it because it makes her feel hairy and dirty. Women want to be smooth and when you touch there, they realize, they aren’t and it makes them feel lazy and unattractive.
3. The V*g*n*. When she hasn’t taken her bath, please don’t go down on her because she knows and is definitely not feeling fresh. Respect it because your attempt will be futile. She might not enjoy it because she is worrying about her odor anyway.
4. The Backdoor. Never go knocking without a lubricant, its like trying to fit your whole hand into your mouth, its painfull.
5. Hair. This is common sense anyman who has been dating knows this, if she is coming back from the salon, Hands off the hair.
6. Face. When she is feeling oily or has a pimple problem, don’t touch the face just compliment her and hug her cause believe me she knows about her face and feels dirty.
7. The Stomach. The universal arguement starter (Do i look fat) come to play in this one, after a huge meal avoid this area, if you are looking to get lucky because she is thinking to herself that she looks fat especially those of them who obsess over having a flat tummy Or during a premenstrual bloat.
10 steps to completely cure a smelly Pussy
ou may never be able to have a completely odor-free v**ina, as all vaginas have some odor. However, some vaginas really smell bad. You know what I am saying, don’t you? These ones need some help! A smelly v**ina can be very embarrassing and humiliating in many different situations, both casual and intimate. It can make you self-conscious and embarrassed, and cause you to do things that will actually do more harm than good. The situation is most awkward when it affect your s*x life, and most humiliating when your partner complains. Although many people think differently, a smelly v**ina is not necessarily a dirty v**ina, nor is it necessarily a sign of vaginal infection. Instead, a smelly v**ina is usually a sign that there is an imbalance of good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria in the v**ina produce some secretions that help the v**ina to self-cleanse properly. However, smell gets very unpleasant when too many bad bacteria overtake the good ones. Lots of products in the market claim to get rid of v**ina odor. However, majority of them contains harsh chemicals, scents, dyes, and scent covers. These can often make your v**ina smell worse off. Don’t forget they’re in business to make a profit. So are you struggling with a smelly v**ina? Then you are in the right place. Here are few tips to get you a healthy v**ina free of unpleasant smells.
1. Allow plenty air into v**ina area First of all, you need to allow your vaginal area to “air out” whenever you get the chance. This means going without pants or underwear whenever you have the opportunity, especially while sleeping. If you cannot stand to be bare-bottomed, at the very least you should switch to wearing cotton underpants. These will maximize the air flow to your v**ina and give the bad bacteria less opportunity to grow and fester. One easy switch is to wear loose skirts instead of tight pants. Wearing tight pants restricts the flow of air between your legs, which allows the bad bacteria to grow and multiply. In contrast, wearing loose skirts allows your vaginal area to air out. In addition to being more comfortable, this will help you to cure a smelly v**ina more quickly.
2. Daily washing/changing of your underwear Always keep your undergarment clean. Make sure you change them at least daily and wash them in hot water to kill any stubborn bacteria. This will help to get rid of sweat and bacteria may have been trapped, leaving you feeling and smelling better.
3. Change your diet What you eat has great effects on the smell of your v**ina. Eat a healthy diet that contains very little processed foods and sugar. These foods change the pH of your v**ina, and could affect the smell. Sweet v**ina smell and taste can be produced by vegetables high in chlorophyll, like wheatgrass, parsley, and celery, fruits and spices like cinnamon, peppermint, and cardamom. On the other hand, foods such as coffee, onions, meat, dairy, garlic and strong spices have the potential of changing your vaginal odor to something very unpleasant.
4. Take unflavored yoghurt or probiotics Taking plain unflavored yoghurt that contains live active cultures regularly. This is a good way of reintroducing some of the good bacteria that would have been destroyed in the v**ina and restoring normal vaginal ecological balance. Probiotics are also very good products. These products contains millions of live bacteria that when taken helps to keep your v**ina healthy and free of unpleasant odor.
5. Shower every day to clean your v**ina Take your shower at least once daily, but twice daily is much better. While in the shower, use a soft cotton washcloth damped in water to gently wipe down the outer labia. After, gently wipe the inside of the labia and then down to your b*tt crack. Rinse well. If you work out, sweat excessively, go swimming, or are involved in some other sweat-inducing activity, another shower won’t hurt. Just be sure to avoid taking a bath, as the dirt, sweat, and bacteria aren’t washed away so much as steeped around your body.
6. Keep your v**ina dry For the same reason that taking a long, hot bath isn’t the best way to get clean, vaginas need to keep dry. While some moisture is just part and parcel of having a v**ina, letting moisture and sweat stew down there is a recipe for odor. Make sure that your v**ina has had ample time to dry after the shower. Change out of clothing that is damp or sweaty, shower after excessive exercise or swimming, and be sure to give your v**ina plenty of (in private) air time.
7. Use a mild, unscented soap when washing your v**ina It may seem to go against your natural instincts, but if you have vaginal odor, you should use a very mild soap with no added scents or dyes. The simpler you can go the better. The closer to natural you can get, the less interference there will be with natural bacterial ecology of the vaginal. Keeping the natural bacteria in balance will get rid of excess vaginal discharge, get rid of odors, and help prevent itching and irritation.
8. Don’t use antiseptic soaps, douche or body wash on your v**ina Body washes and body scrubs are rarely anything but a conglomeration of highly irritating scents and dyes. Some contain oils, synthetic compounds, and even minute pieces of plastic. While these may smell nice and fresh when you uncap the bottle, these chemicals will do nothing but disrupt the delicate skin of the v**ina. In the end, this can cause an imbalance of bacteria and excessive odor, discharge, and irritation. Antiseptic soaps should as well be avoided as well. These products kill the good bacteria and predispose one to having v**ina thrush infection. It’s a common misconception that douching is the best way to clean your v**ina. Many over-the-counter douches contain artificial scents and harsh chemicals. Let’s face it: a v**ina should not smell like strawberry fields or summer breezes. They just shouldn’t. Even the douches that are gentle are often unnecessary.
9. Avoid multiple s*xual partners Resist the urge to have multiple s*x partners. Studies show a correlation of multiple s*x partners with recurring infections of bacterial vaginosis even though it isn’t a sexually transmitted disease
10. Carefully select your pads/tampons Give serious consideration to the type of sanitary products you use. Pads or tampons that contain deodorant are an ‘insult’ to the delicate vaginal tissues. Most sanitary pads and tampons could contain bleaches, plastics, and dioxins from recycled materials. These chemicals are absorbed by the reproductive system. These have very serious health implications. Switch to a brand that keeps you dry, has no chemicals at all, is biodegradable, and prevents infections with unique technology.
Sanitary pads as the name implies should be clean and hygienic! Store them in a very clean place. Make sure they are wrapped to keep out infectious bacteria. Store your box of pads or tampons in the bedroom, not the bathroom where germs become airborne every time you flush the toilet. Sanitary pads have an expiration date on them. Beyond this expiration date, the pads will have accumulated too much bacterial contamination, even though they are in a ‘wrapped’ package. Throw them out if they’re past the expiration date.

Lagos urges LASU lecturers to suspend strike
Lagos State Government has appealed to striking Lagos State University, LASU lecturers to embrace dialogue instead of continuing with their industrial action which it described as “an unnecessary drawback for its spirited efforts to boost the academic standing and reputation of the institution.”
The government in a statement weekend, through the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, said the state government would not allow itself to be stampeded into acceding to demands that were inconsistent with its policy objectives, noting that it was imperative for Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, LASU to have a rethink on its proposed industrial action in the interest of the students and allow for dialogue.
Super Eagles Players arrives in london on sunday ready for scotland
The Super Eagles arrived in London Sunday afternoon ahead of their international friendly against Scotland on Wednesday. The match is part of preparations for the Brazil 2014 World Cup. The Nigerians landed just as the Scotland coach Gordon Strachan told The Scotsman that he was concerned about the physical strength of the Eagles but hopes that the fitness his players should help them to move faster on the pitch and use their speed to advantage.
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi left the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Sunday with 14 players aboard the flight to Heathrow Airport. Ukraine-based striker, Michael Babatunde had already arrived at Hilton Cobhams Hotel in London ahead of the delegation from Abuja. The Eagles are staying at that venue for the friendly.
The players that left from Nigeria with Keshi are Ogenyi Onazi, Victor Nsofor, Ahmed Musa, Michael Uchebo, Godfrey Oboabona, Gabriel Reuben, Juwon Oshaniwa, Efe Ambrose and Sunday Mba. The others are Chigozie Agbim, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Daniel Akpeyi, Kunle Odunlami and Ejike Uzoenyi.
Emmanuel Emenike and Ramon Azeez joined the group later on Sunday according to the team officials. The other players called up for the camping were expected to link up with the team much later on Sunday also.
The team will have their first training session on Monday evening, with all the 30 players invited for the World Cup preparation expected to take part.
The Scotland coach is hopeful that the match will serve both sides well as they aim for different goals in the next four weeks.
Strachan said, “You have to see their squad and who the coach has picked because it changes so rapidly. But I think it will be the serious time for them now. What you’ll get is pace, physical strength and a lot of them play at a good level.
“So if we’re not as physical as them then we have to move the ball about so those physical challenges aren’t there. We stick to what we’re good at. It will be good. We’ll try to outnumber people in certain areas, use our tenacity, our fitness levels. We do it in a different way to how they do it. They play at a slower pace than us, physically stronger; you don’t take on an opponent at what they are good at.”
The Scots are ranked 22 places above Nigeria’s 44th spot on the current FIFA monthly rankings
The Sucide Bomber targeted 400 football fans- Survivor
were confirmed dead on the spot in the blast while the fourth died on Sunday morning thus raising the death toll to four
Our correspondent who visited the scene gathered that the lone bomber had targeted a television viewing centre where youths were watching the finals of the EUFA Championship League match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
One of the football lovers at the centre, Muhammed Ibrahim, said over 400 youths were watching the match when the incident happened.
“The viewing centre is large. Television sets were placed at various points and it was crowded and in fact, over 400 of us would have been killed had the bomber succeeded,” he said.
Another witness, Alhaji Garba Ahmad, who said he lost his senior brother, Bello, in the blast, told our correspondent that the bomber had first attempted to enter the viewing centre but was prevented by a barricade erected along the road.
“He then turned back and tried to enter through a garage, but also encountered a wall between the centre and the garage,”Ahmad said.
He added that in frustration, the bomber packed the car, a Honda Odyssey, in front of a house.
Ahmad said, “When we saw the car, unusually packed in front of our house, my brother challenged him. He told my brother that his car had a fault and wanted to repair it. My brother then asked him to take the car away. Sensing something unusual I went inside and asked all the members of our family to leave the house. Just as my brother was persuading the man to leave our premises, he (the bomber) entered the car and immediately he started it. It exploded and killed my brother, his son and his friend.”
It was also gathered that the bomber had gone to the viewing centre earlier in the day.
An official of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Mohammed Suleiman, told our correspondent that the agency received a distress call at about 9 pm on Saturday and immediately rushed to the scene to carry out a search and rescue operation. He said that three people died on the spot, while the body of the fourth person was discovered on Sunday morning.
A member representing Jos North in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Ibrahim Hasaan, who visited the scene along with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of Jos North Local Government Area, Dr. Sanda Wakili, said that the recent bombing in an exclusively Muslim enclave was an indication that nobody was safe in the country.

Jos Blast was a Car bomb -Police
An explosion that killed at least three people in the central city of Jos was hidden in a car, police said on Sunday, as an investigation opened into the second deadly blast within a week.
“It was a vehicle-borne IED (improvised explosive device),” said Chris Olakpe, the commissioner of police for Plateau state, of which Jos is the capital.
“The death toll so far is three. That includes the bomber,” he told AFP but did not say whether the explosion, which happened at about 9:30 pm (2030 GMT) on Saturday, was an attempted suicide attack.
At least three people were injured, he added.
Manzo Ezekiel, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said the explosion was of a lower intensity than Tuesday’s twin car bomb attack in Jos, which killed at least 118.
The scene of the explosion near a so-called “viewing centre” showing Saturday evening’s European Champions League football final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, was cordoned off.
Police and the military have stepped up patrols.
Olakpe and the Plateau state governor’s office said after the blast that the target was the viewing centre but the explosives detonated prematurely.
There was no immediate indication of who was responsible for the explosion but Boko Haram Islamists have previously targeted football fans watching matches at big screen venues before.
The group, which is waging an increasingly deadly insurgency in Nigeria’s north and last month kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls, triggering global outrage, is suspected of carrying out Tuesday’s attack in Jos.
Home-made bombs were hidden in a minibus and a truck and went off within 20 minutes of each other in the crowded New Abuja Market area of the city.

Revealed: Why Chibok girls don't speak English
One of the freed schoolgirls, who did not give her name, disclosed that one of the reasons why they’ve been speaking hausa in the interviews is because of the trauma they are going through. They feel the Boko Haram insurgents are still watching them so they switch to Hausa, the dominant language in the North without realising it because the insurgents hate anything that has to do with Western education and the ability to speak the English language is an indication to them that one has Western education.
According to report, one of the reason for this situation is the poor standard of education and the quality of teachers in public schools across the state.
English language is secondary as most of the teachers in the rural areas and the students prefer speaking their own dialect either in the classrooms or during school hours.
It was also gathered from one of the teachers in the school, Mr. Amos Dawi, that Chibok and other schools in the state have no English or Mathematics teachers.
“Rarely would students from JSS I to SS III have these teachers throughout their stay in school. In fact, most of these students are not taught English properly from year one to their final year,” he said.
He added that the students share a part of the blame as they are more devoted to farming than their education.
An educationist, Dr. James John attributed the poor quality of teachers to lack of training and retraining of the teachers by the Borno State Teaching Service Board.
A student named Yakubu Iliya said the teachers were to blame because if the ones who are qualified do not take their work seriously as they are hardly ever supervised by ministry officials.
The Chibok girls reflected the quality of teachers in public schools in Borno State. Over 95 per cent of students in public schools in the State cannot express themselves in English, although, their written English is reportedly better .
EFCC wades into the Alleged Scam Rocking Assemblies of God Nigeria
The crisis rocking the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria has taken another dimension as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has begun a probe into the financial transactions of the church following allegations of embezzlement and misappropriation of funds coming from the warring parties.
Top on the alleged scam is the purchase of N220 million property in Germany by the church through a loan obtained from a commercial bank.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that some key members of the church have been interrogated by operatives of the commission while others suspected to be involved in the alleged scam have gone into hiding.
The probe is sequel to a petition by a faction of the church led by the Assistant General Superintendent, Rev Chidi Okoroafor, alleging that the Executive Council of the church was neither privy to the property bought in Germany nor gave approved the purchase.
They alleged that the said property whose purchase was said to have been completed in 2011 was non-existent, adding that its embattled General Superintendent, Prof Paul Emeka, single-handedly handled the transaction.
But in a swift reaction, Emeka said his predecessor, Rev Charles Osueke, commenced the process of purchase of the property with an initial deposit of N20 million, adding that his administration continued with the transaction when it came on board four years ago.
He stated that the transaction was completed from a loan secured from the GT Bank, adding that the entire thing was based on the decision of the executive council of the church. [Vanguard]
Royal Thief? Newly Crowned Chief Caught Vandalizing Car In Lagos
Ifeanyi Nwigwe who was recently given a chieftaincy title in Mbaise, Imo State is now cooling off in police detention after he was arrested in Lagos for robbery.
As one of the respectable men in Mbaise, Ifeanyi was crowned the Aku enwe ebe 1 of Ezinihitte Mbaise (money is not restricted to any town) by the community.
Ifeanyi who had been on the wanted list of the Lagos State police command, was arrested alongside his relative, Vincent Emezuem and both men are now in the custody of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Ikeja, Lagos.
Upon interrogation, both men admitted to having vandalized hundreds of cars in Lagos and other states.
Disclosing how he ventured into the criminal act, Ifeanyi said while learning the trade of auto parts business, he discovered that most of the goods sold at Ladipo market were stolen. He therefore decided to cut corners by learning how to get those cheap motor parts from the right source.
“I discovered that those who were supplying these stolen motor spare parts were driving cars and building houses. I briefly learnt from one Martin, how to successfully vandalize cars undetected. So, sometime in 2010, I went into full vandalization. Initially, our target areas were in big churches where they park cars carelessly without any security man ensuring the safety of the cars.
“It was becoming risky, so we started working at night and I discovered that for every successfully operation, we will almost leave with a bag full of motor spare parts. These include motor top gasket which we normally sell to dealers at the price of N10,000, N15,000 or even N20,000 depending on the content. Others are side mirrors, the head lamps and so many other things that are in hot demand in the market. In Nigeria, there is much demand for Toyota and Honda products, so we concentrate on these two brands,” Ifeanyi said.
But he ran out of luck when he was caught in the act on May 11, 2014, vandalising a car in the Ojo area of Lagos.
