Popular Actor Cosby Admits To Drugging Woman For Sex

Embattled popular US comedian Bill Cosby admitted having drugged at least one woman with Quaaludes to have sex with her, in court documents unsealed Monday.

Cosby, accused of sexual assault by about 30 women over decades but who has so far escaped justice, made the admission in a deposition in 2005, talking about an incident from 1976.

The 77-year-old was questioned by Dolores Troiani, a lawyer for Andrea Constand, ex-women’s basketball director at Philadelphia’s Temple University where Cosby studied and was a member of BOT.

Constand took her rape case to court, but the case was dropped.

Cosby’s lawyers had sought to block publication of the court transcripts, but they were released Monday on the PACER public court records website.

Ladies, no man can love you more than your husband. If you are not getting his love, discuss it with him in humility, things could change. But if you think otherwise, go try another man and see how it goes.

I hope you remember the case of that married lady who was said to have died in her secret lover's custody in a suburb of Lagos recently? Well, there are new updates to the very shameful saga.

A suicide note the late married woman wrote has been found in the room...

A bus has fallen off a bridge and plunged into a lagoon at Ajibandele on Ijebu Ode- Ore Expressway. Luckily enough nobody died as passengers sustained injuries. What a miracle! See more photos below.

Following the recent 30 day assessment of the new government led by President Buhari, and Buhari being referred to Baba Go-slow, former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon has pleaded with Nigerians not to rush the new president.

Speaking exclusively with the Nigerian Tribune, in Ibadan, Gowon said;

"Give him a chance. You cannot solve any problem within two or three days. People say they want a change but as far as the problem of Nigeria is concerned, you cannot do it in one day, in one month. It will take time before a lot of these changes would be done and done effectively.”

University of Ibadan has emerged the best in Nigeria and the 8th in Africa..The University established in 1948 was ranked by Journals Consortium on 1,447 higher institutions.

The Journals Consortium arrived at the ranking through research publications and citations from the last five years (2010 to 2014) as well as visibility on the internet.

University of Cape Town topped the rank followed by Cairo University , and the University of Pretoria at 3rd place..The top 10 include six institutions from South Africa, two from Egypt and one each from Kenya and Nigeria (University of Ibadan)

Top Universities in Nigeria according to the ranking are:

The WBO stripped pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather of his welterweight world title on Monday for his failure to comply with the organization's rules.
Mayweather claimed the WBO welterweight title when he outpointed Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in a 147-pound unification fight that shattered all financial records for a boxing match, including total gross, pay-per-view subscriptions, closed circuit revenue, live gate, foreign television sales and sponsorships.

Mayweather, who holds two other alphabet welterweight world titles, let come and go the 4:30 p.m. ET Friday deadline by which he had to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee from the May 2 fight (for which he earned more than $220 million) and vacate the two junior middleweight titles he also holds.

"The WBO world championship committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the WBO welterweight champion of the world and vacate his title for failing to comply with our WBO regulations of world championship contests," the WBO wrote Monday in its resolution.

All real fine curves..

New regulations aimed at rolling back Brazil’s obsession with Cesarean sections took effect Monday, with the government hoping it can steer the country from its status as a world leader in C-section births.

The rules and a campaign called “Childbirth is normal!” address what Health Minister Arthur Chioro has dubbed an “epidemic” of Cesareans, currently accounting for more than half of births in this nation of 200 million.

About 84 percent of Brazilian mothers on private health care undergo the operation, in which the baby is delivered through a small incision in the mother’s abdomen — often for no other reason than the convenience of being able to choose the date.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum and the Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have condemned the police harassment of the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu under the guise of investigating the alteration of the Senate’s standing rules.

The allegation of forgery of the Senate’s standing rules was first raised by Senator Kabiru Marafa (Zamfara Central) on the floor of the Senate on June 10, 24 hours after the inauguration of the Eighth Senate and election of its presiding officers – Senate President Bukola Saraki and Ekweremadu as his deputy.

Marafa also restated the allegation through another point of order on June 23.
But in response to Marafa’s point of order, Ekweremadu had explained that every edition of the Senate standing orders was only valid for a tenure of four years.

There was serious pandemonium in a district in Chad as a top military personnel fought law enforcers dirty over the full-face veil of his wife in public. The Chadian government had earlier on the 17th of June, 2015 banned the use of full-face veil throughout the country. The military officer and his boys descended on the officials who attempted to remove the veil off his wife. It was indeed a drama. See more photos below.

No fewer than 20 persons were killed on Monday in an early morning crash around Irepeni, along Abuja-Lokoja-Okene highway. About 25 cows were also killed in the incident.

Vanguard gathered that the accident was caused by a road block mounted by armed robbers along Irepeni axis of the highway. The robbers were said to have fled the scene afterwards.

An eyewitness said a luxury bus with number plates KRD 799 LC, which was heading to Abuja from Lagos, suddenly ran into the road block mounted by armed bandits. As the bus was trying to avoid
the blockade, a truck, with number plates KTN 711 YZ, loaded with cows, reportedly rammed into it, killing several people on the spot.

Kumuyi will also hold a special meeting with residents of the state, “irrespective of religion”.

Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai yesterday abolished the state/local government joint account. He said his government would remit 10 per cent of its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to local government councils.

El-Rufai spoke while swearing-in chairmen of the Interim Management Committees of the 23 local councils.

The governor warned the chairmen against residing outside their councils and advised those that could not abide to vacate the office.

He said: “You have no excuse to fail. Perform and bring real development to our state at the local level. This is to fulfil our campaign promises that we will not hold local government funds if elected.

Muhammadu Buhari has approved a whooping sum of 400bn Naira to settle the ongoing crisis over unpaid salaries.

With several states crying out that they are in debt and some states not being able to settle salaries of over 7 months, the president has had to intervene to get the nation back on track.

He today approved a relief package valued at over N400bn, which would then be distributed evenly between the states of the federation.

Bomb Blasts: Restore checkpoints in Plateau, Lalong tells FG

Simon Lalong, Plateau State Governor

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau has appealed to the Federal Government to restore checkpoints in the state to check the movement of suspected terrorists.

The governor made the call on Monday following multiple bomb blasts in Jos on Sunday night in which 44 people died and 67 got injured, according to figures by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

Lalong said shortly after he visited the scenes of the blasts and the injured victims at Plateau Specialist Hospital that “today I made an appeal to Mr President to please allow us to have checkpoints.

“This is because without the security checkpoints, people can flow from all angles and attack innocent people.”

Over a decade ago, Modupe Ozolua, took the beauty scene by storm when she pioneered cosmetic surgery in Nigeria. To some extent a controversial enterprise at the time, once the uproar it generated subsided the enthusiastic entrepreneur thrived.
Recalling how she weathered the storm, Ozolua says, “I became synonymous with plastic surgery in Nigeria, which led both privileged and underprivileged persons to my offices. I have a way making extremely difficult circumstances appear easy, but that is due to my philosophy. If you work hard, you will be rewarded.

“The obsession with self-improvement also applies to our physical appearance. That’s why people want to lose weight, eat healthy and undergo cosmetic surgery so they can look good. As long as that remains in our DNA, there will always be gyms for people to exercise and more cosmetic surgical treatments will take place.”
Today, the 41-year-old philanthropist is of the opinion that more Nigerians are now open to having cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, unlike what obtained when she started out.

Says he’s in Germany, not UK
Tobi Soniyi in Abuja

Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswan, Sunday said he was not arrested in London for wife beating.

His lawyer, P.H. Ogbole, who spoke in Abuja yesterday called on friends and family of the former governor to disregard the publications claiming that Suswam was arrested in the United Kingdom for beating up his wife, Yemisi.

While threatening to take legal action against those behind the falsehood, Suswam described publication alleging that he beat his wife as a calculated attempt to smear his image.

THREE masked men broke into Buchu Meat Wholesalers in Bulawayo's Thorngrove industrial area and fatally struck a security guard with a four-pound hammer on the head before robbing him of $300.

Workmates and family members of the slain security guard said the incident occurred on Saturday shortly after 1AM. The victim identified as Jabulani Madolo, 48, of Mpopoma suburb was manning the premises when he was attacked by three men who concealed their faces under woollen monkey caps.

Two of the suspects have since been arrested after their images were captured on the company's closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV).

Bharti Airtel said it had raised $1.3 billion with the sale of its mobile towers in five African countries from Helios Towers, IHS Plc and American Tower Company. The proceeds will go towards reducing the $10 billion debt used in its African operations in 2010.

Last month, Airtel said a proposed deal with Helios Towers in Tanzania and Chad had expired without a final agreement. Airtel does still work with Helios in other countries. The India-based operator said it was negotiating similar deals with six other countries in Africa. Under the original agreement, Airtel said it would sell around 3,100 towers in four countries to Helios.

The Police have made a breakthrough in their investigation of the June 24 Ikorodu bank robbery. They have arrested four of the perpetrators.

Briefing journalists on Sunday after the meeting of South-East governors in Owerri, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, stated that the suspects should have been relocated to any northern part of the country instead of the South-East.

Ibor, who hails from Akamkpa Local Government Area of the state, said he was lured into the kidnap deal and threatened with gun after attending a birthday party.

The 25-year-old suspect is currently in police custody with two other accomplices, Justice Ajodo (21) and Stanley Obi (20), who he alleged lured him into the crime.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Hogan Bassey, said the three suspects had on October 9, 2014, kidnapped one Chief Samuel Onyeka at the Ikot-Ishie axis of Calabar.

Dangote Backs Central Bank's Forex Restrictions on Rice, Toothpicks, Others

Following the criticisms by foreign media who are calling for a massive devaluation of the naira instead of foreign exchange restrictions on certain items such as rice and toothpicks by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Africa’s richest man and foremost businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has come out in strong support of the CBN’s decision, calling the ban on 41 items from forex market as "excellent and one of the best decisions taken so far by the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele."

Apparently miffed by criticisms in some quarters against the apex bank’s decision to restrict forex on the importation of certain items, Dangote, who is President of Dangote Group, described the CBN’s intervention as appropriate for the Nigerian economy saying, “We cannot be importing poverty and exporting jobs.”

Ibrahim Coomasie, former Inspector-General of Police and present chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) discloses why the North moved massively for President Muhammadu Buhari and against Goodluck Jonathan. A former classmate of PMB, he reveals why it would not be business as usual with Buhari. He spoke with Leadership's Kunle Somorin, Catherine Agbo and Muazu Elazeh:

With the emergence of Buhari, do you think the North has achieved one of its major agenda?
Buhari became so famous during the electioneering and on the political scene generally. If you recall, the arrangement when it was decided that power should go to the South was that after eight years, it would come back to the North but that was disrupted somehow by nature when the late president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua died and Jonathan continued, isn’t it? Some people believed that with the completion of his first tenure, Jonathan should have stepped aside and allowed another Northerner to come and complete the term. This was not to be.

To make matters worse...

A WOMAN and a technician who was trying to rescue her from a jammed elevator car plunged to their death from the eighth floor of the National Railways of Zimbabwe headquarters on Friday at around 4pm, only to be discovered 24 hours later yesterday.

The technician from Schindler Lifts had been called to assist the trapped woman, who is an NRZ employee in the accounts department.

Police and the Bulawayo Fire Brigade battled for close to three hours to retrieve the bodies of the victims from the shaft. They only managed to recover the bodies around 7pm.

National police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba confirmed the incident last night.

Following the relocation of Boko Haram detainees to the Ekwulobia Prisons in Anambra State, the military have taken over the security of the facility.

SUNDAY PUNCH investigations showed that security operations in the Federal Government facility are no longer the exclusive preserve of the officials of the Nigeria Prison Service.

The development, sources told our correspondent, is not unconnected with the calibre of the detainees being held behind the walls of the facility.

The heroic man who shielded his fiancee and told her to run during the Tunisian massacre has spoken for the first time..Matthew James, whose courage made headlines around the world, tells how he was initially convinced he was going to die after being hit by three bullets as he flung himself around Saera Wilson to protect her.

When the shots were fired at the German couple it simply didn’t register with Saera,’ said Matthew. ‘At least not for a few seconds. She said later she thought it was a joke, some kind of game. But I just kind of acted instinctively, and pulled her out
of the way.’

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday promised that his administration will ensure that all cases of political assassination and kidnapping in the country are thoroughly investigated.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted the President as making the promise while addressing state chairmen of the All Progressives Congress who visited him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Adesina said, “I can confirm to you that the President did say during the closed-door meeting he had with the APC state chairmen that his administration will ensure that all cases of political assassination, intimidation and kidnapping in the country are thoroughly investigated to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice. The President said the cases will be investigated irrespective of the perpetrators’ political affiliations.”

Wardrobe allowance: Okogie blasts lawmakers

Cardinal Okogie

Archbishop Emeritus of Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie has condemned the outrageous wardrobe allowances reportedly earmarked for the nation’s legislators, saying that the proposed national change will be impossible when National Assembly members live in contradiction to the moral, social and political aspirations of their fellow citizens.

In a statement titled; “The moral blind spots of the jumbo package”, made available to Sunday Vanguard by the archdiocesan Director of Social Communication, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, the archbishop argued that duty, honour, country: are the mandates the nation needs to rediscover at this hour, noting that the allowances and the jumbo package of the lawmakers are not only shocking, but outrageous and outlandish.

According to the statement, “they (the allowances) are hard to be justified in the face of widespread poverty and the socio-economic realities of our nation. It is highly unjustifiable that our national resources service a profligate class of politicians, but neglect the hope and welfare of civil servants especially teachers who build the engine of our nation’s future.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah

The Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Niger Delta, Operation Pulo Shield, on Friday alerted the public on the new tricks deployed by kidnappers.

The JTF also urged the public to be security conscious and be wary strange movements around them.

This was contained in a statement issued by Lt.-Col. Isa Ado, Spokesman of Operation Pulo Shield in Yenagoa.

It said that the kidnappers now dress in military uniform, describing such act as mischievous and dubious.

According to Ado, the hoodlums who abducted the wife of ex-Bayelsa acting governor recently dubiously and mischievously claimed they were sent by the Commander Joint Task Force.

Failure to comply with these rules could lead to a fine by the tribal court or, worse, a group of initiates breaking the windows of the homes of offenders.

Residents of Ga-Mamaila villages in Sekgosese outside Modjadjiskloof claimed their headmen announced at community meetings more than a week ago that failure to comply with the rules could lead to them being summoned to the local tribal court.

But the Ga-Mamaila Tribal Council has denied the banning of women from wearing pants . The council, however, admitted it had prohibited the playing of loud music for the duration of the initiation period.

Council spokesman Peter Mamaila said those who played loud music during this period would "definitely be summoned to the chief, who will decide on what to do".

A baby has been left completely blind after a surgeon reportedly removed the wrong eye.
One-year-old Fernando Jonathan Valdez Ayala had a potentially life-threatening tumour in his left eye and could not see out of it.
He was receiving chemotherapy but his surgeon Armando Cisneros Espinoza decided it was not working and the eye would have to be removed.But he removed the baby's fully functional right eye instead leaving him blind.

The mix-up happened at the Medical Unit of High Speciality Mexican Social Security Institute in Ciudad Obregon, in the northwest Mexican state of Sonora.
The baby's horrified parents are now suing on the grounds of medical negligence and are demanding compensation.

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo yesterday advised public officers and politicians to get rid of their private jets as President Muhammadu Buhari had begun blocking financial leakages in the country’s economy.

Oshiomhole made this known at a public lecture titled “Labour and the Nigerian Economy: What needs to be done” held at the University of Port Harcourt.

He said that businessmen who connived with some officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to defraud the nation through subsidy claims would be probed.

“Few people (in Nigeria) are taking away so much wealth, while majority of the people are going home with almost nothing.

“A clear example is when you arrive at the private wing of the airport in Abuja; you will find more than 40 to 50 private jets parked there in one airport alone.

In 2002, after 35 years of service, she retired as a deputy superintendent from the Nigeria Police Force, while her squad mates did as superintendents, assistant commissioners and deputy commissioners. Wine glasses were raised up on the day they retired, all laughing and dancing to have served in the Force and retired alive, and not killed while on the job. Some others were not that lucky. Nonetheless, she wasn’t happy and maybe she still isn’t.

Thirteen years are gone now since her retirement, but anytime she remembers the treatments meted out to her by her male bosses, the agony returns. But for the passion she had for the job, she would have long quit, but she stood up against them, fought them with everything at her disposal – for the most years she spent in the Force.

They were bent on frustrating her – and they succeeded, at least to some extent.

First, her promotion through the ranks was always delayed; second, her name was dropped at least twice from the inspectorate and assistant superintendent of police calls – promotional training courses for members of the Force; and finally, she was always asked to perform duties that were below her capability and strength.

Kidnapping spree has continued unabated in coastal communities of Bayelsa State.

The Enewari community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area was the latest destination of gunmen whose activities created panic among the residents.

The bandits were said to have abducted three women and in the process killed a young man in the community.

The slain man was said to have incurred the wrath of the abductors when he tried to foil the devilish operation.

Couple Who Were Married For 75 Years Died Hours Apart As They Held Hands in Bed

Jeanette Toczko, 96, and her 95-year-old husband, Alexander Toczko, from San Diego, California, died just hours apart as they held hands in bed.
The pair spent their lives in love after becoming boyfriend and girlfriend when they were only eight years old.

But several weeks ago, Mr Toczko suffered a broken hip in a fall and was left bed-bound. A local hospice delivered a special bed to his home, which staff pushed up next to his beloved wife's bed.

Sure marriage is hard enough but bringing it on social media will probably make it harder - when people start to share unwanted opinion.

A 34 year old man named Citizen Emeka Benjamin Uche fled his home & remained incommunicado after his wife, Ruth, informed him that her third pregnancy was a set of twins - the couple's third set. A distraught Uche upon hearing the news left their home in Agege in February this year. He hasn't been heard from since then.

The couple welcomed their first set of twin, both girls – Goodness and Goodnews in 2009 and in 2011 welcomed another twins – a boy and a girl, named John and Joyce.

Ruth, who gave birth to the couple's third set of twins, Daniel and Daniella last month, was at the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa yesterday July 2nd with her six children, to solicit for government's assistance.
Speaking with newsmen, Ruth said

They both were sharing the same banana after they caught a misguided man who eventually impregnated the mother and daughter, probably on the same night. Indeed, wonders shall never end!

A South African woman, Mildred Mashego, and her daughter Patricia, have entered the record books as the first mother and daughter to give birth to their babies in the same week and for the same man.

Times Live reports that 38-year-old Mashego of Casteel, South Africa, was pregnant when she learned that her 19-year-old daughter was also pregnant, and the two were due just days apart.
