'Many Americans believe Russian interference didn't change presidential election outcome'- New CNN poll reveals

Image
According to a new CNN/ORC poll, 58% percent of Americans believe that Donald Trump would have still come out victorious against Hillary Clinton in the U.S Presidential elections whether Russia interfered in the election process or not. 8 in 10 Americans say they have been closely following news about Russia's attempts to influence the election last year, including 84% of Democrats, 75% of independents and 72% of Republicans, while another 56% of Americans believe that despite hacking attempts by Russia, the US ought to continue its efforts to improve relations with Russia and Vladmir Putin instead of imposing strong economic and diplomatic actions against Kremlin.

Very interesting stats coming from CNN, See the full poll here http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/

Reptile lover poses with huge alligators to prove that they're not as terrifying as people think

Image
Chris Gillette, a 29yr old reptile lover from Florida has gone to extreme lengths to prove that despite their razor-sharp teeth, alligators can be cute and cuddly too. He happily posed for pictures with three of the ferocious creatures at the Everglades Outpost Wildlife Rescue. He said: 'People think of alligators as mindless killers but if you understand their behaviour it is possible to handle them in surprising ways, I wanted to show how calm and gentle these amazing creatures can be. 'The underwater shots are of wild gators I had never seen before this day, but with the proper experience and ability to "read" their behaviour it is possible to handle them like this. 'These are wild caught "nuisance" alligators, "nuisance" means that they are gators that have shown potentially dangerous behavior, such as getting into backyards or eating a dog.' Chris, who first started handling animals at the age of 15, said he is keen to show their

Egyptian terro wanted in person of retired football star Aboutrika

Image
    Egypt has added retired football star Mohamed Aboutrika, one of the country’s most renowned athletes, to a terror list for alleged ties to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, his lawyer told media. Egypt has listed the Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation and jailed thousands of its supporters since the military removed Islamist president Mohamed Mursi from office in July 2013 following mass protests against his rule. A committee established to seize and manage Brotherhood properties and funds had previously frozen the former player’s assets. Aboutrika has denied supporting the Brotherhood, which maintains that it is peaceful, but was seen as supporting the former president’s election campaign in 2012. A terrorism law passed in 2015 and heavily criticised by international human rights groups requires Egyptian authorities to identify and list terrorist individuals and entities as well as stipulates penalties that range from five years in prison to death. Egypt, the

IPOB to rally in solidarity with US President-elect, Donald Trump on inauguration day

Image
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned that, “heaven will fall” should President Muhammadu Buhari order soldiers to interrupt its Friday’s rally in solidarity of the United States, President-elect, Donald Trump. In a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group explained that the rally was aimed at making the world understand how “resolute and committed we are towards the emancipation, realisation and proclamation of our God given right to live as free men and women in our ancestral land of Biafra.” Noting that should security operatives attack its members during the rally, “the non violent position of our great movement will be revoked with immediate effect. Our only interest is to exercise our right to peaceful protest and lawful assembly as recognised in law.” The pro-Biafra group also called on Ndigbos to use all means possible to stop the Buhari-backed Fulani herdsmen from killing Christians in the South East. IPOB said the Buhari-backed Fulani herd

Buhari, Governor Ayade Discuss Proposed Bakassi Deep Seaport

Image
The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, and Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade, on Tuesday met behind closed-doors to consider a blueprint of the Deep Seaport project initiated by the Governor’s administration. At the meeting held in Abuja that lasted for about 40 minutes, both leaders discussed extensively, the proposed Bakassi Deep Seaport and the 260 kilometre superhighway signature projects of Professor Ayade, both estimated to cost about 700 billion Naira. The Deep Seaport will boost the export of produce such as rice and banana as well as solid minerals, the Cross River government hopes. According to Governor Ayade, “the Deep Seaport would not compete with existing Calabar Ports. It will only complement it because the Bakassi Port will be a 16-meter draft and will accommodate mother vessels especially from the far East”. The governor had last year said the Deep Seaport ‎had received presidential nod  and support. “Even in the face of several challenges and the fear

13,000 CCTVs to be install in Lagos for emergency responses

Image
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Tuesday said it would install 13,000 Closed Circuit Television cameras at major flashpoints across the state to boost its operations. According to a statement issued by Adebayo Kehinde, LASEMA’s head of Public Affairs Unit, the move is part of efforts by the state government to improve the impact of emergency and disaster management in the state through effective and efficient response system. The government also plans to step up a Monitoring and Surveillance Unit and establish additional dispatch centres across the state, the statement added. Adesina Tiamiyu, General Manager of LASEMA, said the 13,000 CCTV cameras would complement the emergency call numbers as analysts could adequately monitor activities from the Command and Control Centres across the State. “These combined efforts can only make Lagos safer,” Mr. Tiamiyu said. The LASEMA boss disclosed further that Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has approved the

Niger Delta Militancy: Agitations or Irrational Irritability? – By Joseph Odok

Image
There is a popular story of a man that caught his wife doing some wrong. He got so infuriated and began beating up the wife. Bystanders applauded the man as he continued the beatings, yes with the support of all. After the beatings, he got the wife naked to her utmost embarrassment, tied her hands and feet, left her on the heat of the sun from morning to evening without food. When the villagers were returning from their work,  they saw the wife naked and panting. Surely this did not go on well with them, they got infuriated with the man and saw the man a demon. They rendered insult on the man and ostracized the man from the village. Yes the wife was wrong but the man got irrationally irritated and excessive in his actions. This story can be likened to the actions of some Niger Delta militants, sure there are instances of neglect of the Niger Delta Region by previous Nigerian Governments. Yes revenue release by federal government to the region has not brought any meaningful deve

Ayade’s Exemption of Low Income Earners From Taxes : Illusion or Reality? – By Inyali Peter

Image
Lucius Annaeus Seneca said “A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer”. For the intention of Governor Ben Ayade to exempt low income earners from taxes, I say kudos to the governor. It only takes a leader with courage to harbour such intentions amidst the lean financial position of the state. Cross River state receives almost the smallest allocation from the federal government. Over the past few years, what has been the major source of revenue generation for the state has been taxation. So for the governor to think of exempting low income earners from taxes is a rare but a welcome development. However, while I am a student of Seneca school of thought that intention is more important than what is given, this philosophy as it is cannot be applicable in all cases. Yes! The governor may have good intentions by attempting to introduce this policy, but making it a reality may be more important that having a mere intention. This is because

Toure Refuses China’s Big Offer A Second Time

Image
Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, has rejected a £430,000-a-week offer from China for the second time. The 33-year-old was the subject of interest from the Chinese Super League last summer as he decided against his transfer. He gave the same response when he was recently contacted that the offer remained open during the current transfer window. The future of the Ivorian, whose contract with Manchester City expires in the summer, appeared in doubt, as he was left out of the City squad at the start of the season. However, he has been a regular for the club since he was recalled in November. Toure has been free to sign pre-contract agreements with clubs overseas since January 1, but it seems he prefers to play in the Premier League

These 5 Sex Myths And the Facts will blow your mind

Image
There's a lot of weird stories and sexual hearsays about sex that people have grown up with for years, most of these enduring beliefs and myths about sex are really not true and most times ruin the fun. Myth: The first time will always bleed or hurt  A woman's first time doesn't  have  to look like the red wedding. The hymen is simply a thin tissue. Women with a thin hymen hardly bleed while those with a thick membrane bleed more. It is possible for the hymen to break without a woman even realising it, during activities like swimming, exercising and horseback riding. While some discomfort is expected the first time, if it hurts a lot, it could mean lack of lubrication or a medical issue. Myth: Women don't watch porn  Not only are an increasing number of women watching porn, they're watching it for longer than men! A 2015 study by the website Pornhub found that the worldwide average for a woman watching porn was 10 minutes and 10 seconds, compared to 9 minutes 22

Biological mother of Angelina Jolie’s adopted daughter Zahara begs to be able to talk to her

Image
Poverty stricken Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, who is the biological mother of Angelina Jolie's adopted Ethiopian daughter Zahara, has made a heartfelt plea to Jolie to let her have access or at least be able to talk to her daughter on the phone. Lebiso who gave birth to her daughter when she was only 19 in 2005, says she doesn't know the father of her baby because she was brutally raped by an unknown man who broke into her grandmother's house in Shone, while she was there for a visit.  She said when she gave birth to her baby girl, she named her Yemasrech, which in her native Amharic language, means 'good news'. She said after she got pregnant from the rape, she was too scared to tell her parents, but when the pregnancy began to show, she was forced to tell them. She said after she confessed that she was pregnant, her family initially disowned her, so she went to live in the nearby town of Hosanna where she says she gave birth to her daughter in January 2005.
