T.Y DANJUMA WANTS ASARI DOKUBO, TOMPOLO AND OTHERS ARRESTED

2075523_img20150128185733
 A former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, has demanded the immediate arrest of some former Niger Delta militants for threatening to plunge the country into war if President Goodluck Jonathan is not re-elected in the February 14 election.

He stated this on Wednesday in Kano during the commissioning of the multibillion naira Kwakwasiya city, one of the three mega cities built by the administration of Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso.

The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari; Victor Ben Ebikabowei, aka, Boy Loaf; Government Ekpudomenowei, aka, Tompolo; and other militants had last Saturday vowed to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan, wins the February presidential election.

The former militant leaders and their followers, who spoke at a meeting in Government House, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, threatened to unleash violence on the country and take back Niger Delta oil should the president lose the election.

They also said any attempt to dethrone Mr. Jonathan would be seen as a direct attack on the Ijaw nation.
Neither the Federal Government nor the president, who is also Ijaw as the militant leaders, has so far reacted to the threat.

Describing the statements as “reckless,” Mr. Danjuma, a retired army general and former Chief of Army Staff, who fought in the Nigerian civil war, said the threats by the militants were not only against national unity but also capable of plunging the country into war.
He asked the security agencies and the government to immediately arrest them.

“You should arrest Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boylop and other Niger Delta militants for making reckless statements, which in any way does not mean keeping Nigeria as one entity and creating war situation,” he said.

The Nigeria Police Force and the State Security Service had recently threatened that they would move against anyone who makes inciting statements in the run up to the February elections.

But since the militants’ comments were reported on January 24, both security agencies are not known to have taken action.

Addressing the Yenagoa meeting, Mr. Dokubo-Asari deplored the alleged intimidation being meted to the people of Ijaw stock in Nigeria, saying the people cannot take it any longer.

He told his colleagues, “For every Goliath, God created a David. For every Pharoah, there is a Moses. “We are going to war. Everyone of you should go and fortify yourself.”

Mr. Dokubo-Asari, who condemned the attack on Jonathan in the north in the ongoing presidential campaigns, maintained that the survival of the Ijaw nation rests in the hands of the militants gathered at the meeting.

 The westlife crew was one the best back then before their split.
I think the saying of what I do with my life has no business to do with anyone. This is how I see it as one of westlife band has started his own personal business.
Mark Feehily was the best  singer in the group. He came out later after the group disbanded to say he was gay. Broke my heart. Anyway, to the story, Mark is now selling snacks &coffee from a catering van. That's him in the van.

The 34 year old has set up his own catering business. He travels round festivals with his van and he serves customers food and drinks himself from the back of his truck. When asked about it, Mark said
"It's going really well, we've got loads of interest and we've booked it in with a lot of the music festivals and we're talking about doing some Irish ones as well. People were flabbergasted at the fact that I was in the van making crepes. People kind of have this thing 'Oh, he was in Westlife a few years ago and now he's making tea. It's my business and I love it, anything I get involved in I get involved 110%."

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU START A NEW RELATIONSHIP



  It feels so exciting when you fall in love and start a new relationship! New relationships are about hope, some expectations and fresh feelings. But sometimes a new relationship collapses when they hardly starts. I’ve been thinking about all my relationships, both successful and not so successful, and I’ve come to the conclusion that a good start determines the furt


her outcome of your relationship. When you just start dating someone it’s very easy to make mistakes and scary the person away. Sure, every relationship is highly individual and unique, but here some universal tips to remember when you start a new relationship.

1. Don’t pursue your boyfriend

I always found it difficult. When I fall in love with someone I want to spend every second with this person to get to know him better. I become literally obsessed with the guy and it’s often the main cause of all my unsuccessful relationships. Such an excessive attention is the sure way to frighten the person off. Try to avoid calling him every hour or typing romantic messages if you’ve just started dating. Guys love when a girl can take the first step, but they cannot stand when the girl is persistent or even annoying. On the other hand, try not to hold him back. Avoid these two extremes and find the golden mean in your communication.

2. Don’t pretend to be someone else

When you like someone it’s natural that you want reciprocity. You want to gain the person’s approval and try hard to correspond to his expectations and preferences. However, you cannot make a different version of yourself. Sooner or later you’ll get tired to play this game and when he gets to know your true self, it’ll break your partner’s heart. When you pretend to be someone else, your guy cannot appreciate your real personality. If you know that your guy loves blue-eyed blondes, but you have beautiful brown tresses, you shouldn’t even think to dye your hair color! Try to be honest and open from the very beginning.

3. Your new boyfriend isn’t your previous one

Never ever try to compare your current boyfriend with your previous ones. Moreover, you should never discuss your previous relationships with your guy. It’s the easiest way to make him suspicious and jealous about all your male friends, which will surely lead to a breakdown. This rule works both ways. While you should keep silent about your previous guys, try not to ask him about his girlfriends as well. You don’t really need to know the person’s past to get to know him better. While dating him you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see everything with your own eyes.

4. Avoid being too fast

You’ve just started dating, but you’re already imagining your wedding and a happy family with 3 kids and a dog. Wait for a second, aren’t you too fast? Don’t cherish illusions as for your common future; everything is very uncertain at the beginning of your relationship and you still need a lot of time to explore each other. If you hint that you have some plans as for your future, be sure your relationship won’t go too far. I’ve noticed that most of my successful relationships occurred when I thought I had no chances with the guy. Remember that your relationship should develop its natural way. Your boyfriend shouldn’t tell you ‘I love you’ on the third date.

5. Don’t be the center of attention

When you want to impress your new boyfriend, you can go too far boasting about your personality, interests, hobbies or whatever else. However, you can get too tiresome and boring. Instead, try to talk about his personality. Take an interest in his work, hobbies, family and past. When he’s talking about something, be a careful and active listener. Guys will never tell you that, but they like to be complimented! Compliments will raise his self-esteem and dignity. Say some kind words about his achievements or personal qualities.

6. Don’t gather information

If you have common friends, don’t try to question them about your boyfriend. This is of crucial importance when it comes to his previous girls and relationships. If your guy finds out that (be sure he’ll find out), you will have a great difficulty trying to explain the situation to him. You shouldn’t rely on his social accounts either. What the person pretends to be online and what the person actually is are two totally different things. The best way to understand your partner is communication and spending time together.

7. Don’t be a perfectionist

Many relationships fail simply because you expect too much from the person. Several years ago I composed the list of features I expected from my potential boyfriend. There were nearly fifteen traits of character, if I’m not mistaken. No wonder all my relationships collapsed very soon since I was too high-maintenance and any man could hardly satisfy my needs. However, I’ve realized that I’m not ideal either, so it’s rather dishonest to expect perfection from someone else. Both of you are human beings and it’s natural that you have some shortcomings and imperfections.

REASONS TO EAT YOUR APPLE DAILY



Crucial Reasons to Eat Your Apple a Day

There is this saying that goes this way- an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
No matter whether it’s a red, green or yellow apple, you should eat it each day to stay healthy and happy. Remember, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’? It’s actually true. Apples are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, and they are an excellent source of fiber. Apples are delicious and versatile and it’s easy to incorporate them into your daily diet. You don’t necessarily have to eat raw apples; apple chips, apple pie, apple smoothies, caramel apples, apple juice, baked apples are all good options. Don’t leave apples on the shelf, here are a few important reasons to eat your apple a day.

1. Apples contain powerful antioxidants

Although most fruits and veggies contain antioxidants, apples are plentiful in one of the most powerful antioxidants, quercetin, which helps combat free radical damage, boost your immune system and prevent different kinds of diseases. Eat your apple in the morning, add it to your morning smoothie, snack on it during your lunch time or before going to bed. If you are a big fan of chips (as I am), but you are trying to eat healthy, consider making apple chips. They are healthy and tasty, and they make a great snack for your kids.

2. Apples keep your eyes healthy

Due to their high antioxidant content, apples help keep your eyes healthy, if you eat at least one apple each day. Apples boast fantastic eye health benefits and may help prevent cataracts. Numerous studies show that people who consume antioxidant-rich fruits, like apples, are less likely to develop cataracts. Make a habit of eating your apple a day now and you might not have to deal with cataracts in your 50s or 60s.

3. Apples are rich in fiber

Apples are an excellent source of fiber that helps regulate digestive system, and overall keeps your intestinal system healthy. Fiber can also help control your hunger and keep you full for longer, which means one apple is a great and healthy snack between meals. Moreover, fibre found in apples can help reduce cholesterol levels and prevent diarrhea and constipation.

4. Apples help detoxify your liver

Apples are good for your liver too. Many people are talking about detox diets, but you should never try any of them if you don’t consult your doctor. After all, it’s hard to stick to any diet, but luckily, you can keep your liver healthy by eating your apple a day. When your liver is healthy, it’s able to keep harmful toxins out of the body without so-called detoxifying powders and drinks. I think it’s a good reason to add that apple to your smoothie, isn’t it?

5. Apples keep your heart healthy

One of the best benefits of eating apples each day is that they help keep your heart healthy. As I mentioned before, the fiber found in apples helps reduce cholesterol levels, which reduces your risk of heart disease. Moreover, apples can aid in preventing the buildup of plaque in your arteries, which lowers your risk of having a heart attack. Did you know that heart disease is the biggest killer of women? Incorporate apples into your eating plan to live a longer and healthier life.

6. Apples boost your endurance

If you want to boost your endurance, try eating an apple before exercising. The thing is, an apple helps make oxygen more accessible to the lungs, making your workout session easier and longer. I often drink an apple smoothie before running and it works wonders for me. So next time you hit the gym, don’t forget to eat your apple or drink an apple smoothie. The result may surprise you!

7. Apples help lose weight

Have you ever heard that dieters should eat mini meals throughout the day? An apple is one of those mini meals you should eat, especially early in the morning, if you are trying to drop weight. Apples are low in calories and it can help suppress your appetite. When you feel hungry, instead of reaching for that candy bar or potato chips, munch on an apple and reap all its health benefits.
While apples are great for dieters, they are also good for everyone. I’m not a huge apple fan, but I know that I need that apple a day, so I use apples in smoothies, juices, fruit salads, pies and sometimes I bake them. I usually buy red and green apples, and what are your favorite apples? Did you know about health benefits of apples? Do you eat your apple each day?
