HELLO

What should have been a moment of joy for a jobless couple, Mr. Elisha Bassey and his wife, Patience, turned to sadness when a set of conjoined twins was born to the family on Tuesday. The 32-year-old resident of the Federal Capital Teritory, Abuja, who is from Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, and his 30-year-old wife, are currently at a loss. The conjoined twins were delivered at about 7 pm on July 2, 3013 at LUNA Hospital in Gwarinpa, Abuja. Bassey said, “The babies are joined from the stomach and chest down. They have three legs joined together, one liver, one kidney and one intestine.” Ironically, the scan that was conducted didn’t reveal that it was conjoined twins. When our correspondent visited the hospital on Friday evening, the issue was being discussed in hushed tones. Bassey told Saturday PUNCH that his wife was still in the hospital but not fully recovered. He said, “The scan was done but we were not informed that it was conjoined twins. When we...

Officers of the Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service on Friday paraded 147 persons from Niger Republic and Chad, who illegally came to the state without valid travelling documents. The Comptroller of NIS in the state, Mr. Adesola Sessi, told journalists in Akure that the illegal immigrants were picked up by his men at the Sabo and Shasha areas of the state capital. He explained that the people will be repatriated to their countries of origin immediately because they were constituting a great security risk, especially when it was discovered that they had no means of livelihood. He said two of them attacked and injured some immigration officers while trying to resist arrest on Thursday. Sessi said the illegal immigrants had been living in the state for a very long time and that it took his men diligent surveillance to fish them out of their hideouts.

The leaders, who held a meeting in Ado Ekiti, expressed their support for former Governor Ayo Fayose while some of them advocated that the party should conduct primaries to pick the most popular candidate.

Touchscreen keyboards are the de facto standard on smartphones now - so what's with the diehards that won't let go of their old-school BlackBerry devices? It may be preaching to the choir coming to the CrackBerry community to espouse the virtues of a real, physical keyboard, but when it comes to today's Talk Mobile topic, a lot of folks on the outside figure the debate between buttons and pixels has long been over. Sure enough, the market has spoken with its wallet and gone with all-touch smartphone models, but at this point I think that has just as much to do with a lack of options as anything. The all-touch revolution was kicked off in no small part by the iPhone, and ever since, finding anything other than a minimally-featured slab of glass at your local carrier store has become a challenge. For many, an all-touch device was their first smartphone (heck, it was probably their second, too), and they adapted from the get-go to virtual on-screen keyboards. For those ...

During the BlackBerry Q1 2014 conference call , BlackBerry CEO, Thorsten Heins let it be known a new BlackBerry 7 device would be released soon. Before that, there was plenty of rumors one was coming but that sealed the deal for it. At this point, there's no official branding for the device that we're aware of but there is plenty of references in recent builds of BlackBerry Desktop Manager that suggest it will be a 'Curve' series device. But with that being said, we've seen stuff change before so alas, wait and see how it gets branded. Aside from that, the UAProf (viewable in Firefox) required for it has appeared on the BlackBerry website and confirms a few other details about the device. It's listed as the BlackBerry 9720. Full QWERTY keyboard. Display resolution is 480x360 Runs BlackBerry OS 7.1 Supports: 802.11b / 802.11g / 802.11n / 3G Overall, pretty obvious stuff and no surprises there but that was pretty much expected. Personall...

The leadership of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State has said it is in total support of the suspension of Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and accused him of already working with the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC. The party leaders, led by the state party chairman, Felix Obuah, had a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan and also apologised to the president for the governor's actions, which they described as 'shameful.' The Obuah led leadership, opposed to Mr. Amaechi, is believed to be sponsored by the Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, and the presidency.

Speaking to journalists after Thursday's meeting, Mr. Obuah said, "W are pained and our heart bleeds today that the main champion of opposition in the country against Mr. President and indeed the Federal Government of Nigeria is our own son, Governor Rotimi Chib...

The Edo State Police Command, yesterday, paraded a 'gay' Nigerian pastor identified as Philips Ogbebor, who allegedly had carnal knowledge of a 20-year-old male member of his church (names withheld). After the act, the pastor allegedly threatened to kill his victim if he disclosed the act to the public. Speaking to Vanguard, Pastor Ogbebor simply said: "God will judge, go and talk to others" and kept on mumbling But his victim narrated his ordeal. He said: "I told him I have never done this since I grew up, but he insisted. It was painful and I told him I will not allow it again. So after the second attempt, I told him I will expose the act. He then administered an oath on me, saying if I ever told any one, I will die. "He carried sand and olive oil and poured them on my head, then he wore black garment, saying I will die if I ever leaked the secret.

It first began like a rumour. Now, it is spreading fast and furious like a wild bush fire in the harmattan.  Before we knew it, the speculation had also gone viral on the Internet, creating an instant buzz and talking point online. It is not totally surprising though. As the race for 2015 gathers momentum, speculations about who will occupy which position have become the subject of intense public debate. Usually and as it is with our brand of democracy, they first brew like the anecdotal ''beer parlour gossip'' but they soon begin to gain a life of their own over time. But as it has often been said, there can never be smoke without fire. Also in this clime, politicians are usually evasive in declaring their intention for public office.  Even when they so desire to run, they will still "insist on consulting with their consistency''. And when their posters begin to appear like a thief in the night in the public space, they will lay the blame at the doors...

In November 2012, Miss Mercy Okpithe reported to the Batch 'C' Orientation Camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Anambra State. Her joy knew no bounds, as she looked forward to the opportunity to serve Nigeria for one year. The 2011 graduate of Public Administration from the Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State, voluntarily joined the Dance Troupe on the camp. Like Janet Jackson in her heyday, she displayed a high level of dexterity as she moved her feet and body rhythmically to music. After the camping exercise, she was posted to the Anambra South Local Government area, and she continued as a member of the Dance Troupe. But little did Mercy know that four months later, fate would have no mercy on her. Mercy, it was gathered, was severely beaten up by the Camp Commandant at the NYSC Orientation Camp, one Captain S.O. Beke, about 11:00p.m on Monday, March 18, this year. She allegedly fainted and was rushed to the camp clinic. The following day, she was trans...

This is for all the guys who pick up random girls on the streets without knowing anything about them. Here's how to know if you are sharing your bed with a mammy water: 1 You picked her up from the street or some other random place. Maybe she was even standing in front of an uncompleted building 2 You don't know her surname. She told you her name is " Just Julie" 3 She agreed to sleep with you onthe very first day, in fact she moved into your house, no questions asked. 4 She never gets tired. She can pound yam, fry garri, grind pepper with a stone and still have s*x with you when she finishes. 5 She always looks perfect, even first thing in the morning. No pimples, her make-up looks permanent and everything is always in the right place. 6 Her Brazilian hair looks natural. It really looks like her hair but maybe salons have found a way to remove natural hair and put it back later. 7 She never talks about her family and she doesn't have any friends. You only...
