Aisha Buhari And That BBC Interview By Reuben Abati

Read his piece below... 

Public communication is one of the most delicate challenges that people in public life face, either in the corporate or the public sector. Many people suddenly find themselves in high places, and they become a source of news, a potential interview subject, and they get chased around by journalists and other media figures who want a story, in fact, not just a story, but a scoop.

I used to explain in communication coaching classes and to the bosses whose media I managed, at one point or the other that they should never feel obliged to say things they do not want to say. No matter how aggressive the journalist may be, they should be careful what they say.

This tortoise had so much s*x and 'saved his entire species' from extinction (photos)

Several animals have gone extinct in the last decade – including the Baiji dolphin, the Spix’s macaw, the Liverpool Pigeon and the West African black rhino.

One animal which has been pulled back from extinction however, is a species of Galapagos giant tortoise - thanks to the sexual exploits of just this one male.

IndepedentUK reports that Diego is over 100 years old and has fathered some 800 offspring.

Diego weighs almost 13 stones, is just shy of a metre long and 1.5 metres tall.

He was initially found at the San Diego zoo, and his species - Chelonoidis hoodensis - was founded
then.

Fifty years ago there were only two males and 12 females on the island and they were so spread out they couldn’t be bred successfully.

He was taken to the Galapagos Islands soon after his discovery, and he now shares his enclosure with six other females.

Washington Tapia, a specialist at Galapagos National park, where Diego resides told AFP:

We did a genetic study and we discovered that he was the father of nearly 40 per cent of the offspring released into the wild on Espanola.

I wouldn't say [the species] is in perfect health, because historical records show there probably used to be more than 5,000 tortoises on the island. But it's a population that's in pretty good shape - and growing, which is the most important.

Amazing story! Father narrates how his premature child drew him closer to God

Nigerian Facebook user, David Osaghae, shared the amazing testimony of how his premature daughter drew him closer to God. He wrote;

This was the beginning of a new me, the process of change, redemption ,salvation or simply put , Getting closer to God. My daughter was born on the 3rd of March 2002 . 5 months and 2 weeks of pregnancy. She was premature. I had just finished my overnight or 2nd job as a bouncer in a club in Germany. She weighed 790grams, not even 1kg.

On seeing her tiny structure inside the incubator , I cried like I never cried before. I asked God , why , why me ? After crying out my heart , I realized only a miracle could save her . She is the reason till today , why my faith in God is so strong . I laid my hands over her and prayed. I did not know what to pray about , but I prayed my pains onto God and begged God not to allow my sins / punishment for my numerous transgressions be passed unto my little girl. I made a vow to God . 3 days later I went and paid the vow to my Church to be passed unto the poor and needy . My Pastor prayed with me. I prayed that my daughter would leave that Hospital without complications hence the vow/ deal with God . My daughter is 14+ years old now , straight A student , speaks 3 international languages already , and she left that Hospital without complications what else can I say . My pain as I saw it then was actually God's way of drawing me closer to come to know him and have faith in him to prepare me for the movement that was to come . This was the day that the destiny of Judo Movement was redirected from waywardness back to the narrow path of Christ #tbt #Godisgood #judomovement

Revealed; The Reason Why Funke Akindele Had A Private Secret Wedding To JJC

Here is the reason why Nollywood actress Funke Akindele had a private secret wedding ceremony in London to Nigerian rapper JJC.
Olufunke Akindele is a Nigerian actress best known for her role as Jenifa in the Nigerian movies and TV show, Jenifa. She was also known for her famous fabulous wedding to Kenny Oyolede in 2012 which ended in divorce.

Early this year there were speculations and reports that Funke had found a new love and it was with Nigerian singer Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC yet no one could prove it for sure.
Last week, the couple exchanged vows on August 23 in a secret London wedding in the presence of her friends and family on her 39th birthday. Fans have also said she introduced herself as Mrs. Bello during a subsequent public appearance.
Usually, Nigerian celebrities make a big and loud celebration of their wedding ceremonies and this was what Funke did with her first wedding Kehinde Almoroof Oloyede. The wedding was public knowledge, celebrities attended and pictures were released to show the couple was married. However, that marriage lasted around 400 days only.
So, it makes sense that the Jenifa actress would choose a more intimate ceremony with only those she loves around to witness her second marriage.
According to an insider that talked to NETng,“She really just wanted the media to focus on her work, and stay off her personal life. And she made sure she didn’t contribute to that media feast, that she didn’t supply the leads that led to gossip and scandals.”
Her new husband JJC is already a father with three kids from three different women but this did not stop him from committing to the lovely Yoruba actress.
A source also said,“They wanted the best time to make the move, and it is clear why they went over to London, away from everyone. Funke wasn’t about to be burnt a second time.”

Nigerians don't panic! Annular eclipse to hit Nigeria between 7am -10 am, Sept 1

National Space Research and Development Agency (NSRDA) has urged the public not to panic over the Annular Eclipse which will be experienced between the hours of 7:15am and 10:03am on Thursday, September 1 with slight variations in actual timing across the country.

In a press statement by the Head of Media and Corporate Communications, Dr Felix Ale, the Agency appealed to the general public not to panic or adduce any mystical interpretations to this event, urging them not to observe the eclipse with naked eyes, as this can cause damage.

According to the statement, in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, there will be a partial eclipse, with an obscurity of 60 per cent, and the first contact at about 7:17am, with maximum eclipse at 8:32am and end at 10:00am.

Also, Lagos will experience its first contact with the eclipse at 7:15am, with a maximum eclipse occurring at 8:32am and ending at about 10:00am.

The Agency has arranged a viewing centre tomorrow to enable members of the public, pupils and students from various schools to view the eclipse using specially designed viewing instruments provided by the space Agency.

The viewing centre which has been set up by the Agency will be open to the public on Thursday 1st September, 2016 from 6:45am for school pupils and students to observe the annular eclipse as part of its continuous programmes to expose Nigerians and students to matters concerning astronomical environment.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun but does not cover the Sun's discscompletely, causing a 'ring of fire'. Fascinating.

See this weird looking baby monkey that was delivered by c-section (photos)

A tiny primate baby was this week delivered by Caesarean section surgery at Paignton Zoo in Devon and the strange looking monkey has been likened to Harry Potter's arch enemy Voldemort.

According to Vet surgeon, Jo Reynard, it was the first time they had conducted a C-section on a primate as her mother Ivy had developed complications before childbirth.

Vet Jo Reynard, said to Mirror UK:

“Ivy had reached her due date but been off her food and inactive for two days.A quick x-ray confirmed that the baby’s head was engaged in the pelvis ready to come out. Later that evening we became concerned as her health was deteriorating and with no signs of normal labour progressing, we decided to do a C-section to save Ivy’s life and that of the baby.”

Ghislaine Sayers, head of veterinary services at Paignton Zoo, said:

“We have only done three C-sections here in the last 16 years. Jo, our surgeon on this occasion, has performed them on dogs, cats, cows and sheep before – but never a primate. It’s not so common in zoos – most zoo animals manage to give birth by themselves. Introducing a new life into the world is always special. The hardest bit in these circumstances is knowing when to intervene and when to leave the mum alone to give birth naturally. Jo added 

"It is an exciting thing to be involved in, but the overriding feeling is concern for the mother and this can make you a bit apprehensive. You want to do the best job you can for her.”

Frustrated man jumps into the river after mentioning Buhari's name several times

A major tragedy was averted yesterday in Lagos, when a man jumped into the river on the Mile Two Bridge in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area.

The unidentified man, according to eyewitnesses, stood on the bridge for some minutes, loudly expressed bitterness over his sufferings and how things had gone bad for him and his helplessness.

He was said to have mentioned Buhari repeatedly, muttered some other words before he finally took the terrible decision, Daily Sun reports.

However, the timely intervention of a passing speedboat prevented the victim, who is in his 40s, from drowning.



Passengers on the speedboat dived into the river, dragged the man who was gasping for breath to the riverbank, and continued their journey.

A witness, Mr. Andy Odiaka, said the victim, who wore native clothes, was left on the floor for a while, unconscious.

Odiaka told Daily Sun that he called the state emergency number – 112, which facilitated the arrival of the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) in about 20 minutes.

The three-man medical team, went ahead of the bus to resuscitate the victim. According to one of the medics, the man had to be given first aid drip, explaining that he was too weak to make it to the hospital.

Odiaka said:

 “I was there on the bridge where the man was also standing. He was speaking to himself. He said he had no transport fare to move from one place to another. He said his suffering was too much that he could hardly feed. I also heard him saying life was meaningless to him. He mentioned Buhari many times, and the next thing I saw, the man jumped from the bridge into the water.

“He is an Igbo man because he was speaking the language. I thought he was joking when he said he was tired of everything around him. “If not for a speedboat that was passing, he would have died. The boat stopped and the passengers dragged him to the riverbank and they continued their journey.

“Thereafter, nobody was ready to assist him. People simply looked at him, expressed sympathy and continued their journey. I have to call an emergency number,” he said.

Before the ambulance came, it was gathered that sympathisers, including Mr Odiaka, contributed about N1, 000, with the intention of taking the victim to the hospital.

Another witness, who simply gave his name as Okpala, said he ran to the place and saw the man almost dying, but did not know what to do to help him out of the situation. He said he mobilised others at the scene to donate money to take the victim to a hospital.

“The man said he was tired of life and he wanted to kill himself,” he said.

When the victim’s pockets were searched for any means identity, only N90 was found on him.
