Catholic church bombing: Kabiru Sokoto pleads not guilty, seeks bail

The State Security Service (SSS) on Friday arrested an alleged Boko Haram suspect, Kabiru Umar aka Kabiru Sokoto, at the Federal High Court, Abuja. Mr. Umar was arrested in connection with the Christmas Day bombing of the St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State in 2011. Several people were killed in the bombing. After his initial arrest, the suspect fled from police custody but was later re-arrested. 'Kabiru Sokoto' was alleged to have had information about the bombing but failed to inform law enforcement agents. The accused was charged for allegedly being a member of a terrorist group known as Boko Haram between 2007 and 2012 at Mabira Sokoto in Sokoto State. He was also allegedly found to have facilitated the execution of a terrorist act within the period. The charge read that the suspect committed an offence contrary to Section 4(1) (a) of the Terrorism and Prevention Act 2011 and punishable under Section 33(1) (b) of the same Act.

World's oldest person celebrates his 116th birthday in Japan

KYOTO (Reuters) - The world's oldest living person, Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, celebrated his 116th birthday on Friday with congratulations from around the world and from Japan's prime minister. Kimura was crowned the world's oldest person by Guinness World Records last December after the death of 115-year-old Dina Manfredini of Iowa in the United States. "I truly congratulate you on your 116th birthday," Prime Minister Shenzo Abe said in a video message. "I'm 58 years old, still a young man at only half your age. Thanks to your generation's efforts, Japan could overcome several difficult times and achieve the prosperity we enjoy today. Your healthy existence becomes our confidence and pride." The Mayor of Kyotango City, Yasushi Nakayama, visited Kimura at his home in Kyotango, western Japan, to present him with messages from around the world. Kimura is living with his 60-year-old granddaughter-in-law and has a three-meal-a-day d

Facebook has hired the manager who led the development of Apple's widely criticized Maps app.

Richard Williamson joined the social network as its director of engineering this month, according to his LinkedIn profile. Bloomberg reported Wednesday that he has been at Facebook for the past few weeks. Last November, Williamson was fired by Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice-president of Internet software and services, following numerous user complaints that Maps had major bugs. When it launched last September with iOS 6, the app's problems included: omitting transit directions, providing poor navigation and displaying incomplete 3D views that distorted national monuments. Many compared Maps unfavorably to Google Maps, which was replaced by Apple's in-house mapping service, but later reinstated. Williamson began working at Apple as a senior software engineer in 2001, and took over as the director of iOS software four years later. In January 2012, he became the senior director of iOS platform services, overseeing the creation of Apple Maps. Facebook's new director

Black Menu (computer tricks)

Black Menu for Chrome puts all your Google services a click away If you rely heavily on Google services, as so many small-business users do these days, you're probably familiar with the black toolbar that spans the top of various Google services. It provides quick and convenient access to apps like Search, Gmail, Calendar, and so on. Ah, but what happens when you're viewing a non-Google site? No toolbar, that's what. Black Menu for Chrome puts all Google services just a click away. Once installed, this extension adds a button to your browser that reveals an attractive drop-down menu for all Google's best stuff: Search, Google+, Translate, Maps, Gmail, Calendar, and the like. Even better, when you mouse over any of these items, you get an interactive window for using them. For example, mouse over Search and you've got a Google Search field ready for your terms. Mouse over Gmail and you'll see your inbox, where you can read and respond to messages, com

Saving your marriage as a woman

This is specially for wives and intending wives; as it may save you the risk of having a stroke and high BP. 1. Most Men cannot have sex exclusively with just one woman, for the rest of their lives. 2. Men are created with varied sexual appetite, some men can do without sex for a year, others cannot do without sex for a week. 3. A man who's madly in love with one woman can still have sex with other women but still love his 'woman'. 4. Some of the best husbands have concubines or mistresses, these extra marital affairs play a role in keeping the man sane and free of sexual tensions, especially during mid-life crises. 5. If your man is just having sex with some sweet sexy teen or babe, DO NOT WORRY. But, if your man starts? making midnight calls and exchanging text messages with another lady at odd hours, BE VERY WORRIED. 6. Before you choose your man, ensure he believes in AIDs, STDs and protected sex. That way, chances are that he will not bring HIV and ot

what really happened @ OVERCOMERS CHURCH WORLD OUTREACH ( GRACE AND FAITH MINISTRY)

There has been so many comments on lindaikeji.blogspot.com which I must say are peoples view or just an automated content posted by them, anyway let’s leave that to them. I just don’t understand why people don’t ask some questions before making judgments on their own, they make comments as if na dem they the place wey the thing happen. None of the people that made comment on that blog has seen both parties not even been to the church that was said and even Linda herself posted what she doesn’t know about the issue and said that Chika Moses said so as their Media Representative. One thing I know is that Men are very deceitful but there are still questions that needs to be answered, which nobody is asking am not in the position to point fingers at whoever is or is not to blame. But I will first think that Solomon Akiyesi is a man without integrity and a stupid one for that matter, also the wife who decided to come all the way from Port-Harcourt and fight in the church with police men

Christopher Crist's Dentist Pulls ALL HIS TEETH Without Permission because of altism

Christopher Crist claims that he went into a dentist office to get a few painful teeth pulled. When he walked out, he had none. The 21-year-old Indiana man, who is autistic, told Fox 59 that his mom sent him to Amazing Family Dental in Indianapolis to  get three of his teeth removed . But instead of ending the procedure with three pulled teeth, the dentist kept going, Crist says. "They pulled every last one of them," he told the station. "I am going to look like a freak now." He says the  gruesome operation began  after the dentist gave him some pills to ease the pain of the procedure, WTVR reports. His mother had given him strict instructions to ask that three teeth be pulled. It's unclear when the mixup occurred. Crist was admitted to a hospital where he's reportedly battling an infection due to the dentistry debacle. He and his mother plan to sue the dentist -- who wasn't named because no legal action has yet been taken -- and have witnesses

15 Tips for Talking to Women And Attracting Them Like Crazy

Many men are never taught how to talk to women. Because of this many guys go throug h life without the ability to attract a woman. Here are 15 tips to help make sure you aren’t making mistakes with the women you’d like to attract: 1.   You should talk about “emotional” topics like childhood memories, future ambitions, or her passions . These conversation topics will open up her emotional floodgates. 2. Women want a guy who is not afraid to lead her . While talking to a woman take control of the conversation. Never wait for her to dictate what you’ll be talking about. 3.  Pay attention to the non-verbal cues a woman is giving you . If you’re standing too close to her, accidentally spitting when you talk, or making her feel uncomfortable in any way… she will send you hints. Pay attention to them. 4. Remember this motto “Fun not Funny.”  Women are attracted to men who allow them to have fun. Don’t concentrate on having the funniest jokes. Concentrate on showing them the

Jose Mourinho Wants Chelsea Return, Tells Roman Abramovich to Make Move Immediately

Portuguese boss warns club they risk losing out on his services. Jose Mourinho has warned Chelsea to act fast if they want to secure his return to Stamford Bridge according to  The Sun . The Real Madrid boss has been strongly linked to take over from interim boss Rafa Benitez this summer. The Special One looks certain to leave Real Madrid after falling out with a number of the club’s senior players including Iker Casillas. Mourinho was the first Madrid manager to drop Casillas in over a decade in a move which has proved divisive amongst the club’s fans. His time at the Bernabeu now looks certain to come to an end this summer and he is currently the fans’ and bookies’ favourite to become the new Chelsea manager. But a number of clubs are thought to be interested in Mourinho and it now appears Chelsea will have to act fast to seal his signature. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly hesitant to appoint Mourinho after the pair departed in acrimonious cir

Hospital uses iPad to keep mothers and newborns connected

All a new mother wants to do is stare at her baby for hours, marveling at every tiny movement. But sometimes mom and baby must be separated, like when a newborn needs extra medical attention in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit. “Whether they’re born prematurely or if they have post-delivery complications, there’s that gap of 24-48 hours where they can’t see their baby,” said Yvonne Kidder, clinical nurse at Cedars-Sinai. Problem solved. New mom Tana Navarro communicates with her baby over an iPad from her recovery room. Nurses are on the other end with Tana’s baby, who was born eight weeks early. Tana can see her daughter in real time and get answers to her many questions. Nurses at Cedars-Sinai have called this program “Baby Time.” “It is electronic, but it is so reminiscent of what normal bonding would consist of — all the auditory, all the visual cues,” said Dr. Charles F. Simmons Jr., Chief of Pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai. It’s not all one-sid

How to Manage a Micromanaging Boss

I saw this on Twitter and decided to share the content itself please read, like and don't forget to leave a comment  Every morning when I arrived at my office, I used to find a to-do list printed out and neatly laid on my keyboard, courtesy of my boss. But this wasn't a typical bulleted list — it was a long (upwards of three pages), drawn-out document, where each bullet point was accompanied by paragraphs of elaboration, laying out to the very smallest of details exactly how I should accomplish the task. And as I stared at this book (er, document), wondering if it would somehow look less menacing after my morning coffee, I couldn't help but think,  Wouldn't it have taken her less time to just complete the things on the list ? And the micromanaging didn't stop there — she constantly asked for updates on my progress, added to and modified the list, and ultimately refused to let me do my job on my terms. For a while, I thought it was impossible to change my bo

Man caught with charms inside Lagos church

Mr. Ali Haruna, 25, from Kano State, has been arrested by the police at the Maroko Police Division, Lekki, Lagos, for allegedly entering the Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David, situated on Muri Okunola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos with charms strapped to his waist. Haruna was arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrate Court on one-count charge of illegally entering a church with charms. During interrogation, he allegedly told the police that he entered the church to pray to God. But when asked what he was doing with the charms he strapped to his waist, he could not give satisfactory answer nor explain how long he had been worshiping in the church since he claimed he was a Muslim. The church members suspected him to have entered the church to perpetrate evil.

Wesley Snipes Turns 50 In Prison

Mug shot of Wesley Snipes. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Wesley Snipes just celebrated his 50th birthday—in federal prison. The film star remains there over tax charges. See  Actor’s depressing 50th birthday . You may think Snipes was mislead by advisers or just plain foolish to end up in jail over tax charges. Maybe, but he’s not alone and it could have been much worse. After all, Snipes was convicted of failure to file, a misdemeanor. Filing falsely is a felony. You can be prosecuted for failure to file or for filing falsely. You must file a tax return each year with the IRS if your income is over the requisite level. Snipes is over,  way  over. As Snipes’ misdemeanor convictions show, failing to file carries smaller penalties than filing fraudulently. The U.S. taxes all income wherever you earn it. So forget arguing that only foreign-source income is taxable, making your domestic income exempt. There is a convoluted argument that foreign income is different, but don’t
