In a ground breaking surgery conducted at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, a 7-month old baby has undergone a successful heart surgery.

7 Habits Of Highly Unsuccessful Public Speakers

 

Here they are, then:  the Seven Habits of Highly Unsuccessful Speakers.

1. Do it on the cheap
Getting to success as a public speaker requires investment.  There’s a lot of competition for that coveted keynote speaking slot – the one that pays $40 grand.  You need to write and publish a book, preferably a New York Times bestseller.  You need to develop and practice a killer speech.  And you need all the bells and whistles of an active online community, from the website and blog to the social media that starts, continues, and adds to the ongoing conversation in your area of expertise.
So if you want to fail, do all that as cheaply as possible.  Get your brother-in-law – the 12-year-old – to do your website.  Practice your speech in front of your dog.  And rely on your two dozen Facebook friends to spread the word about you and your ideas.  That will almost certainly fail.

2. Hang out with wannabes
The smart folks on the way up partner with, and get mentored by, speakers who have already made it.  That way they learn the ropes and avoid the most egregious mistakes.  So if you want to fail, just hang out with your high school crowd, the ones who never left town.  The ones who talk a lot and never do.  They’ll ensure your ongoing failure.

3. Plan – don’t do – the work
Succeeding involves actually getting on stage, risking your dignity, failing, taking the criticism, and getting better.  If you don’t try it, you’ll never learn.  So failing means always scheduling the work somewhere in the future.  Today, you can buy that teleprompter app.  Sometime in the future – way in the future – you can think about maybe using it.

5 Implications Of The FIFA Ban On Nigeria

 

The FIFA Emergency Committee decided to suspend the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect, on account of government interference.

Article 13, par. 1 and article 17, par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes oblige member associations to manage their affairs independently and with no influence from third parties.

The suspension of Nigeria from international football by FIFA would have a lot of implications on the development of the game in the country.

- No Nigerian team can compete in any international (CAF and FIFA organised) competitions
- As a result of this decision, no team from Nigeria of any sort (including clubs) can have any international sporting contact (art. 14 par. 3 of the FIFA Statutes).

- During the period of suspension, the NFF may not be represented in any regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, or in friendly matches.

TERRIBLE: How Herbalist Murdered And Buried Vulcanizer In Anambra

 

A native doctor, Nze Sunday Asika (alias Aboy Ekwensu) and another person, Mr. Uchenna Ibeh, were yesterday paraded by the Department of State Service, DSS, in Awka for killing one John Nwosu, a vulcanizer, from Ahiazu Mbaise in Imo State and burying him in a shallow grave at Nkpologwu in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Both Asika and Ibeh admitted that they killed the diseased, but disagreed on who masterminded the killing.

Asika told Vanguard at DSS headquarters in Awka that though he shot John to death, it was Ibeh that carried the body and buried him in the grave.

He said further that Ibeh threatened to kill him if he allowed John to go because John had not been giving them money brought by his brother in South Africa, adding that it was the same Ibeh that brought the gun he used.

SAD: Pregnant Woman, 3 Others Found Dead In Lagos

 

On Saturday, June 28, 2014 Superior Evangelist Isaiah Adebola and his wife Deborah had already gone to bed after the day’s itinerary when suddenly they heard a knock at the door of their makeshift apartment located within their temporary church premises.

The cleric who was just recovering from an undisclosed ailment managed to open the door only to see his brother in-law, simply identified as Femi aka One-man Mopol. Femi, according to Evangelist Adebola’s son, was a landlord in the neighbourhood.

The visibly agitated Femi was alleged to have beckoned on the cleric to come and pray for his pregnant wife who had some health complications after dinner.
In a jiffy, the cleric and his wife allegedly followed their visitor to his house and that was the last time they were seen alive.

A search for Superior Evangelist Adebola who was the Shepherd of Celestial Church of Christ, Gethsemane parish, Ofin in Igbogbo-Bayeku Local Council Development Area, was allegedly called by the Community Development Association, CDA in the neighbourhood. The Celestial church also raised a team of prayer warriors to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the cleric and his wife who was a commercial try-cyclist driver in the locality.

Boko Haram Insists On Prisoner Swap For Release Of Chibok Schoolgirls (DETAILS)

 

A man claiming to be a member of Boko Haram has maintained that the federal government must release its members detained in numerous facilities nationwide before the terrorist group releases the 219 Chibok schoolgirls it has held in captivity for almost three months.

This came as the National Council of State (NCS), at the end of its meeting yesterday, assured the Nigerian public that schoolgirls will be rescued very soon but failed to give detail as to how this would be achieved.

The federal government had given the same assurance Monday when the Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri said the girls would soon be freed.

Speaking on the BBC World Service, the man whose voice was disguised in order to conceal his identity, said he was a teacher or scholar in the sect and joined the group in 2004.

He told the BBC that the girls were in “a state of amnesty”, healthy and eating well, adding that the Christians who refused to convert to Islam were not forced to do so as it is anti-Islamic.

The Boko Haram member maintained that the girls were taken for a specific reason and reiterated the condition for their release, adding that the girls would be released once the federal government met the terrorist group’s demands for a prisoner exchange deal.

“Today, if the government releases our members, tomorrow or the next day, we promise you can see all of them. As our leader Abubakar Shekau promised to the media, if the government releases our members, we will release them.”

On the condition of the girls, the Boko Haram teacher said: “I am telling a fact, they are in a state of amnesty, they don’t have a problem. Some of them have belief in Islam, some of them said they will not convert to Islam, but we did not differentiate. We are not forcing them or putting them under any pressure.

‘Soldiers protected BRT bus from hoodlums’: Army Recounts Own Side Of Story, Scolds Soyinka

 

The Nigerian Army authorities, on Tuesday, July 8, 2014 in Lagos, said the Lance Corporal who was knocked down and killed by a BRT bus along Ikorodu Road last Friday, was not riding motorbike on the BRT lane as widely reported.

Rather, the deceased, according to the Army, was crushed to death on the normal lane plied by other motorists, maintaining also that soldiers were not responsible for the damage done to BRT buses but hoodlums who hijacked the situation.

This is just as the Nigerian Army has taken a swipe at Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, over a statement credited to him describing the Army as ‘mad,’ while reacting to the incident at a public function last week.

“In less than a week, he has made two careless offensive statements. At times, he seems to speak before weighing the consequences of his statement.

Germany Wants Strong Ref Against ‘Brutal’ Brazil

Joachim Low

Joachim Low’s side are wary of a Selecao team that committed 31 fouls in their quarter-final win over Colombia and called for a clamp down from official Marco Rodriguez.

Germany coach Joachim Low and defender Jerome Boateng have called for strong refereeing from Mexican official Marco Rodriguez in their side’s World Cup semi-final clash with Brazil on Tuesday.

Brazil’s players committed 31 fouls in their quarter-final win over Colombia on Friday and Low claims many of those were cynical actions which interrupted promising attacks.

“I saw the game between Brazil and Colombia and there were many fouls by both teams,” he said at the pre-match press conference at the Estadio Mineirao on Monday. 

“There were many fouls where a player jumped on another’s back to stop his rival. The fouls I saw were not players chasing the ball and trying to win possession.

Robbers Steal $36 Million Worth Of Electronics From Samsung Factory In Brazil

 

Thieves raided a Samsung electronics factory in Brazil during the night shift early Monday, subdued workers and guards, and made off with about $36 million worth of cellphones and computers.

Heavily armed men captured eight plant employees as they neared the factory in a company bus just before midnight, said civil police in Sao Paulo state.

The gunmen stole the workers’ ID tags and took two of them with them as hostages as they entered the factory in the college town of Campinas. Once inside, they overpowered security guards and spent more than three hours in the plant, trucking out the electronics.

“They subdued the guards, took their weapons and their ammunition and told them to continue working as if nothing had happened,” Police Lt. Vitor Chaves told the Globo television. Some workers were held captive in a separate area and others were told to hand over their phones, so they wouldn’t call the police.

Another Boko Haram Kingpin Killed In Kaduna

 

A man believed to be a top member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect has been killed by security operatives in Kaduna.

The suspect was said to have engaged in a gun duel with armed security operatives who stormed his Kinkino residence in Agwan Mu’azu area of Kaduna metropolis, following a tip off.
It was gathered that security operatives comprising the SSS, police and soldiers stormed the area at about 2 am on Sunday, cordoned off the house and ordered its occupants to come out.

But rather than obey the order by the security agents, the suspects who were said to be two in number opened fire on security agents who also responded by shooting at them.

A resident of the area who pleaded anonymity said the gun exchange lasted for about one hour, resulting in panic and apprehension among residents of the area.

“Initially we thought it was armed robbers that had invaded our area and we were making frantic calls to the police. But later discovered that it was a combined team of soldiers and police who came to arrest two people suspected to be Boko Haram members,” he said.

Its captivating side -- led by the tournament's star man James Rodriguez -- is preparing for its first ever World Cup quarterfinal on Friday, hinting at a future full of promise.

But that glamor tie against hosts Brazil also comes 20 years after perhaps Colombian football's darkest hour -- the murder of former national team player Andres Escobar.

The 27-year-old defender was a victim of a volatile and violent chapter in the country's history, seemingly executed as punishment for scoring an own goal at the 1994 World Cup.

Escobar's error contributed to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of hosts USA and six days after Colombia's tournament ended, on July 2, he was shot six times by gunman in his home town of Medellin.

The murder was linked to drug lords who had suffered big gambling losses due to Colombia's exit at the group stage but nothing was ever proven.

Two decades on as Colombia prepare for one the biggest clashes in its history -- delivered by a squad that is seen as a symbol of hope -- the significance of the Escobar anniversary is not lost on the country.

Say What? Bikinis To Blame For Sex Crimes On India’s Beaches – Minister

A minister in the Indian state of Goa has warned women against wearing bikinis on beaches or visiting bars wearing short skirts, saying it is against Indian culture.

Sudin Dhavalikar, Goa’s public works department minister, linked bikinis to sexual crimes and called for a ban.

“We should not allow girls with bikinis to enter public places because it is very difficult to control people who arrive in Goa from different states. By the time the victim reaches the police it is too late. It is better to control such type of activities on the beaches,” he said.

Dhavalikar also said women should not visit bars in short skirts.

40-Year-Old Man Butchered By Suspected Fulani Herdsmen

An unnamed 40-yearoold man was said to have been butchered to death by Fulani herdsmen in Bantaji, a surburb of Wukari in a clash between Tiv farmers and Fulani herdsmen.

The cause of the death was said to be an altercation between a herdsman and Tiv man in the popular Bantaji market. In the process, the Fulani man hit the farmer with a sword, taking to his heels after hitting him with the sword.

According to reports, this caused anger among the Tiv farmers as they demanded a response as to why their kinsman was assaulted by the unnamed fulani man. This led to violence as both groups mobilized and started attacking each other, during which the 40-year old man was butchered.
