"Bayern want to emulate Barcelona"

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge hopes Bayern Munich can emulate Barcelonaby becoming the dominant force in the Champions League over a number of years.
The Bundesliga champions have won European club football's elite competition five times, but it took them 25 years after their third win to lift the trophy again, before they had to endure another 12-year wait for their fifth glorious campaign.
Barcelona on the other hand have won the Champions League three times in the past decade and FCB chairman Rummenigge aims to become as consistent as the Catalans.
"I want to win the Champions League another time. Barcelona have always been an example for me because they won the Champions League a number of time within just a few years," Rummenigge told Bild.
"It's one of my dreams to shorten the gap between two of our Champions League wins.
"We have had some lengthy spells without winning it. We had to wait for 25 years until we won it again in 2001 and then 12 more years for the next win.
"Bayern want to have a theoretical chance at winning the trophy each and every year.
"We have to keep improving our squad year after year."
The Bavarians made it to the semi-finals of the competition last season and have already booked their place in the knockout stages this term after securing top spot in Group E.

Ancelotti: Platini should keep quiet over Ballon d'Or

Real Madridcoach Carlo Ancelottihas hit out at Uefa president Michel Platini in the wake of the Frenchman's comments that a German player should win the Fifa Ballon d'Or rather than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Platini stated earlier this week that a Germany international should scoop up the individual award following their successful World Cup campaign, thus causing unrest in the Madrid camp, with Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Coentrao both attacking the Uefa chief for his "campaign against Ronaldo".
Ancelotti has now also come to the defence of his star player and has stressed Platini should have kept his opinion to himself.
"I share Arbeloa's opinion. I don't think Uefa's president should opine about the Ballon d'Or," Ancelotti said at a press conference.
The Madrid coach then went on to praise Lionel Messi, but refused to discuss the Argentine's chances of winning the prestigious award.
"Messi is fantastic, but I will not speak about what Barcelona are doing for the Ballon d'Or."
Meanwhile, Madrid have backed Arbeloa, Coentrao and Ancelotti and have released a statement condemning Platini's comments.
"In response to the comments made by the president of Uefa, Michel Platini, concerning the winner of the Ballon d'Or," the statement reads. "Real Madrid C. F. would like to outline:
"Firstly, its surprise at the repeated comments regarding his personal preferences over the choice of the winner of the Ballon d'Or, particularly given that he is the head of European football's principal body, where our understanding is that the strictest impartiality should prevail.
"Secondly, the Ballon d'Or is an individual rather than collective prize which is awarded annually to the best player in the world, and we believe that, in order to maintain its prestige, those who participate in the vote should take into account exclusively the individual professional achievements of the players.
"Finally, we believe that Cristiano Ronaldo has without doubt had his best ever professional year individually, and has claimed the Champions League, the Golden Shoe and the record for the highest goalscorer in an edition of the Champions League, as well as the Copa del Rey and the top-scorer award in La Liga. In the current season, he has won the European Super Cup, scoring both goals in the match, and is achieving spectacular figures such as his 20 goals in the first 12 matchdays of La Liga, which confirm his great moment of form and ensure that, more than ever, he is deserving of the Ballon d'Or."

2015 Election- Jonathan Will Sweep Poll In South West – Survey

The hope of President Goodluck Jonathan of sweeping the Presidential poll in the South West geo-political zone in 2015 has brightened up with the result of the opinion poll conducted by a political group, 'Forerunners Group', and which was made available to journalists in Ibadan.
Forerunners' officials, at a press briefing told newsmen at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan, that 58.2 per cent of the non-partisan persons in the zone had declared their support for Jonathan's re-election come 2015. Director-General of the group, Hareter Babatunde Oralusi, said the group arrived at the percentage of the non-partisan persons willing to support the President's re-election based on an independent survey (opinion poll) conducted by the group.
According to him, "the phase one of the poll conducted in the South West is to determine the number of the people registered with political parties and the statistics show that 14.6 per cent of the population in the region are card carrying members of one political party or the other and this indicated that 85.4 per cent are non-partisan.
"The phase two is to determine the size of non-partisan general public in the South West that is willing to support President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election in 2015 and the outcome showed that 58.2 per cent of the non-partisan persons were willing to support President Jonathan's re-election.
"Out of the voting population, 12.6 per cent of non-partisan persons were undecided on who they were willing to support, while 29.2 per cent of non-partisan persons were willing to support other candidates from different political parties," the DG stated.
Oralusi said the 2015 Presidential election in Nigeria would be similar to President Barrack Obama's re-election based on the result of the survey and could be predicted if necessary machineries were put in place.
"President Goodluck Jonathan will not only be re-elected as president but he will be re-elected with overwhelming majority votes."

FG To Buy Cooking Stoves With N9.2bn For Rural Women

The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the purchase of N9.2billion worth of clean cook stoves and wonder bags for rural women under the National Clean Cooking Scheme.
Wonder bag is a non-electric slow cooker invented by Sarah Collins, ‎a south African eco-entreprenuer, who came up with the idea six years ago during a power cut, when she decided to keep her dinner cooking by surrounding the pan with cushions.
The council also awarded a contract of N60.9billion to an indigenous firm, KaKatar CE Limited, for the provision of engineering infrastructure for Kyami District, Zone C, Abuja.
Supervising Minister of Information, Dr. Nurudeen Muhammed; Minister of Environment, Mrs. Lawrecia Mallam; and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Muhammed, briefed State House correspondents at the end of the meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo.
Muhammed said the N9.2billion inclusive of Value Added Tax was approved for the procurement of 750,000 units of clean cook stove and 18,000 wonder bags.
He said the stoves are expected to be delivered by Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited within a period of 12 weeks.
He noted that the stoves which will be assembled locally, will provide jobs to Nigerians among other benefits.
The minister said, "The National Clean Cooking Scheme is an aggressive drive to engender clean cooking culture amongst the poor rural women, to reduce and possibly eliminate cooking with solid fossil which is detrimental to health.
"The scheme is expected to provide 20 million clean stoves over a five-year period at the rate of four million stoves yearly which will be distributed without charge.
"It will also reduce incessant felling of trees which exposes the country to ecological problems.

Balotelli struggling to adapt at Liverpool - Raiola

Mario Balotelliis struggling to adapt to life at Liverpoolbecause he is unable to see his daughter regularly, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The striker has just two goals to his name, and none in the Premier League, in the 14 games he has played since completing a €20 million move from AC Milan during the summer.
Subsequently Balotelli has been linked with a move back to Serie A,specifically Roberto Mancini's Inter, a switch Raiola has ruled out, and his representative is now backing the 24-year-old to come good at Anfield.
"You shouldn't be criticising Mario. This difficult moment he's going through is not related to football, but is down to the fact that he cannot see his daughter as often as he would like to," Raiola toldCorriere dello Sport.
"He needs a bit of time to adapt to Liverpool. One thing is for sure and that is that he will never return to Italy. I have already made the mistake to listen to him and bring him back to back to Italy once before."
Balotelli is currently sidelined with a groin injury but said in an update on his official Instagram account that he hopes to be back in action soon before later deleting the post.

Messi will leave Barcelona eventually, says Deco

Former Barcelonamidfielder Deco believes Lionel Messiwill leave the Camp Nou side in the future.
The Argentina international recently revealed that his future could lie away from Barcelona and Deco believes it's inevitable that the 27-year-old will leave the club.
"I know Messi will leave one day. That's to be expected. Everything comes to an end," Deco toldGlobo Esporte.
"I understand that all sorts of speculation arises when a great player speaks, but nobody is eternal in a team, and much less so in football. Great players and great managers come and go.
"Obviously with Messi's history at Barca, you can understand that it's hard to see him at another club, but one day it will happen. It could be this season, in a year's time or in five years. It will depend on lots of things.
"All I think is that players like Messi need to be happy to perform at their best. That's the big secret. If Messi is happy, he'll stay. If he's not, he'll look for better options. Messi needs to be happy, to be content."
The attacker has been in sublime form in recent weeks, netting hat-tricks against Sevilla and APOEL to become all-time top scorer of La Liga and the Champions League respectively.
He has a contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2018.

Wenger: Arsenal victims of own attitude

ArsenalmanagerArsene Wengerhas defended his side's style of play in the face of recent criticism, insisting they have been a victim of their "generous attitude".
Wenger came under fire after his men were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United on Saturday, with Louis van Gaal's men playing on the counter-attack and exploiting the Gunners' desire to attack in large numbers.
It has been a familiar problem for Wenger in recent years, but after overseeing the 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday he showed no signs that he was about to change his outlook, suggesting there were similarities between the Champions League win and the Premier League defeat.
"We had a good start and I believe overall it was a very intense game between two very good teams," he told reporters. "We were highly focused to defend well together from the first to the last minute. We always looked dangerous and defensively we were very good.
"We were more under pressure because we felt on Saturday we played well but we were a victim of our generous attitude.
"We had a similar game to Saturday, we had to focus really well not to give any chances away and overall it was a committed game and maybe we were defensively better tonight.
"We are a team who likes to go forward and sometimes when you feel you dominate completely the game you are maybe a victim of that, and forget to take precautions to defend well, but I think you learn from the games and we have done a lot better tonight."
Wenger has now guided Arsenal to the knockout stages of the Champions League in each of the last 15 seasons, but hinted that although things could be worse, he knows it is not quite good enough.
"I think when you work in a football club you realise it's not easy to have continuity and be consistent," he added. "I'm very proud of that and I think the club deserves a lot of credit. It's not enough but we are consistent."

Aguero in same bracket as Ronaldo and Messi - Lampard

Frank Lampardbelieves Manchester Cityteam-mate Sergio Agueroshould be considered in the same bracket as Cristiano Ronaldoand Lionel Messi.
On the same night that the Barcelona ace scored three against APOEL to become the Champions League's all-time leading scorer, overtaking Real Madrid legend Raul's record, Aguero was bagging a hat-trick against Bayern Munich to keep City's qualification hopes alive.
And Lampard is confident that the former Atletico Madrid striker, who tops the Premier League's goalscoring charts this season, can mimic his compatriot's accolades if he maintains his current form, maintaining he is of a similar quality to him and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I think it's in his hands," the veteran told reporters. "It's a big call to make. Ability-wise, from seeing him at close quarters, he's in that bracket.
"If he can carry on with this form, doing it week-in and week-out, which he is doing, then people will talk about him in the same breath as them.
"I haven't been fortunate enough to play with those two - I've admired them from afar - but, in terms of ability, he's certainly right up there."
Lampard does not believe that there is an out-and-out striker who can touch Aguero right now, though he admits that he will always see Didier Drogba, at his peak, as "the greatest".
He continued: "[Aguero]'s top of the world football strikers. When you have people like that, it makes things easier because Sergio takes the majority of his chances - he took every one of his chances against Bayern.
"World-class strikers help you win games, win points and go through. I'm fortunate enough to have played with Didier Drogba, who, for me, was the greatest [striker], but it's very hard to compare those two because their style is so different.
"But in terms of pure finishing, electric pace, in my first few days training here my friends and other people were asking 'who does this or that in training?' and I said 'this Aguero is just different class'. He's proved that. He can't stop scoring."

Al Jazeera Investigation Of Fake Doctors Leads To 3 Arrests In Delta State

African journalists, Nigeria's Rosemary Nwaebuni and Ghana's Anas Arameyaw go undercover to expose fake doctors in Delta State, leading to 3 arrests. Read the full story and watch the 25-minute documentary below…
In this week's episode of Africa Investigates, Anas Arameyaw Anas and Rosemary Nwaebuni go undercover with secret cameras to expose fake doctors in Delta State, leading to three on-camera arrests.
Nigerian law forbids abortions, except in cases where the patient's life is in danger. Despite this, Nigeria's Fake Doctors shows Rosemary, who is not even pregnant, twice being offered a******n services from unlicensed practitioners.
Precious Johnson Chuckwudi, who operates a pharmacy in Delta State, offered to provide an a******n – and agreed the price – despite Rosemary's negative pregnancy test, while Mr and Mrs Ogboru offered Rosemary an a******n in the dirty backroom of a bar, without conducting a pregnancy test.
The Nigerian Medical and Dental Association (NMDA) and Ministry of Health (MoH) have confirmed that neither Chuckwudi nor the Ogboru's are licensed and registered as medical doctors and that their shops are not registered clinics. Nigerian police arrested Mr and Mrs Ogboru on camera on the basis of evidence that Rosemary and Anas filmed.
Nigerian police also arrested Charles Igudala, who operates a clinic at Dictat Royal Home in Warri, Delta State, after he was covertly filmed offering medical services and injections to Anas in extremely unsanitary conditions. The NMDA and MoH confirmed that Igudala is not a licensed and registered doctor, while Dr Alfred Ebiakofa of the Nigerian Ministry of Health said that Igudala had been a target of the Nigerian health authorities for some time, but that they "had not been able to catch him before."
Rosemary and Anas also film other fake doctors wrongly diagnosing healthy patients with malaria and typhoid, as well using as a Quantum Resonance Analyser, a highly controversial machine of unproven effectiveness that is used to illegally diagnose – merely on the basis of tones and lights – a variety of serious illnesses to perfectly healthy patients.
Spell of The Albino, the last investigation Anas filmed for Africa Investigates, won a One World Media Award and was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award.
Nigeria's Fake Doctors, the third episode of Africa Investigates, premiered on Wednesday, 26 November 2014 at 22:30 GMT / Thursday, 20 November at 00:30 CAT, with repeats on 27 November at 11:30, 28 November at 05:30, 29 November at 18:30, and 30 November at 07:30 CAT.

After the operation Wilshere took to Instagram to reassure fans that the surgery had gone well.
'Ankle needed surgery in the end,' he wrote. Went well thanks to the main man James Calder!'
'Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.
'If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.'

Ronaldo not obsessed with Champions League record

Karim Benzemadismissed the suggestion thatReal Madridteam-mateCristiano Ronaldois obsessed with the Champions League goalscoring record after Wednesday night's 1-0 win at Basel.
The Portuguese star and Barcelona rival Lionel Messi were in a race to take over as the tournament's all-time leading marksman as they closed in on Raul's tally of 71 goals around the same time.
The Argentine broke the former Spain striker's record by bagging a hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-0 victory at APOEL on Tuesday, taking his overall tally to 74 goals.
Ronaldo moved level with Raul on 71 goals by netting the only goal at St. Jakob-Park, but Benzema denied that his colleague is determined to overhaul Messi at the top of the standings.
"Cristiano doesn't ask me to pass him the ball in order for him to break the record," Benzema toldbeIN Sportsafter teeing up the Portuguese for the winner in Switzerland.
"Frankly, he doesn't ask for anything. But when he's well positioned on the pitch, I offer him the ball."
Madrid's victory not only sealed top spot in Group B for Carlo Ancelotti's men, it also saw the club from the Spanish capital complete a home-and-away double over Basel.
However, while the Blancos cruised to a 5-1 victory in their first meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu on matchday one, the reigning European champions were made to work harder for all three points in Switzerland.
"It was not an easy game," Benzema acknowledged. "It wasn't the same side as the first game. It was much more complicated."
Meanwhile, Keylor Navas was a happy man after keeping a clean sheet in a rare start in goal for the Costa Rica international at the expensie of regular No.1 Iker Casillas.
"It's a tournament that everyone loves to play in so I'm happy that we won and that I was able to contribute a bit to the victory," the shot-stopper stated.
"I am calm, working hard. Little by little I'm getting more opportunities.
"Everyone wants to play some more, but we must go step by step."

Ancelotti: Basel better than Liverpool

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has tipped Basel to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League at Liverpool's expense.
Los Blancos clinched top spot in Group B by beating the Swiss champions 1-0 at St. Jakob-Park on Wednesday night, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the only goal of the game as the European Cup holders racked up a club-record 15th successive win in all competitions.
Basel now need to avoid defeat at Liverpool in the final round of fixtures in order to pip the Reds to the second automatic qualification spot and Ancelotti fancies Paulo Sousa's men to get a positive result at Anfield.
"I think Basel are currently better than Liverpool," the Italian +told reporters. "I see a small advantage for Basel for the last round."
Indeed, Ancelotti admitted that Basel had posed Madrid plenty of problems with their high-intensity game.
"We did not play as we usually do," the former Chelsea boss conceded. "We defended well, we concentrated well and the most important thing was the victory.
"But Basel played with a lot of heart. They showed an intense game and were able to put us under pressure in the second half."

EFCC Arraigns 77yr Old Woman & 2 Others For N65m Land Scam [See Photo]

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday November 26, arraigned a 77- year- old woman,Alhaja Mulikat Shonekanand two others:Martins Ogiogwa, 40 andMujekanmPetroleum Nigeria Company Limited, before Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of Lagos State High Court, Ikeja on a 5-count – charge bordering on conspiracy to obtain money under false pretence and issuance of dud cheque.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read to them.
Counsel to 1st and 3rd accused persons, Bamidele Ogundele, tabled an application for bail, asking the court to grant them bail on the grounds of old age and heath condition; emphasizing that the septuagenarian would not jump bail.
Also, second defendant, Austine Akpomreta, presented his bail application, and prayed the court to grant his request.
While opposing the bail applications, the prosecuting counsel, Anslem Ozioko asked for a trial date.
Justice Ipaye however granted bail to 1st and 2nd defendants in the sum of N5m (five million naira) and N10m (ten million naira) respectively, with two sureties each in like sum.
According to the judge, one of the sureties for both must be a blood relation of the accused persons who must show evidence of 3 year tax payment.
The matter was adjourned to 3rd and 4th February, 2015 for trial.
One of the count reads:
"Alhaja Mulika Shonekan, Martins Ogiogwa and Mujekanm Petroleum Nigeria Company Limited sometime in September, 2008 at Lagos within the Ikeja Judicial Division with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N65,000,000.00 (Sixty Five Million Naira only) from Kuta Stones Limited by falsely representing to Mr. Danladi Verheijen, the Director of Kuta Stones Limited, that the said sum of money represented the cost of 90 acres of land situated, being and located at Kemta Ososun village, Odeda Local Government Area of Abeokuta in Ogun State of Nigeria which pretence you knew to be false".

Liverpool should have signed Alexis - Neville

Gary Neville feels Arsenal starAlexis Sanchez would have been the "perfect replacement" for Luis Suarez at Liverpool.
The Chile international was sold by Barcelona to make room for the arrival of Suarez for €86 million, allowing Arsene Wenger to secure the forward's signature for €40m.
Sanchez has impressed since his arrival - boasting a team-high 14 goals and 30 chances created - and Neville feels the forward would have softened the blow of the Uruguayan's exit with Liverpool's form faltering since.
"[Sanchez] would have been an ideal replacement for Luis Suarez. Goals, tenacity, pressing from the front, loses the ball – it goes past him he runs back," he toldSky Sports.
"Everything Liverpool would have wanted to replace Suarez, obviously you could argue he wouldn't score the goals Suarez would score, but I think he would have been the perfect replacement for Suarez.
"It's a real shame for Liverpool they didn't get him, but a massive plus for Arsenal."
Sanchez scored his 14th goal of the season on Wednesday night as Arsenal beat Borussia Dortmund to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage for the 15th consecutive season.

Fabregas: I'm playing the best football of my career

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas feels that he has been playing the best football of his career since returning to the Premier League this summer.
Fabregas has been pivotal in the Blues' unbeaten start to the season, providing 10 assists in 12 league games.
The former Barcelona man says he is thriving in his preferred midfield role at Stamford Bridge and has his sights set on winning silverware with Jose Mourinho's side.
"I don't remember playing as well and enjoying the football [as much as I am now]," Fabregas told reporters. "I've played in World Cup finals, European Championship finals, Champions League finals with great teams.
"I am not saying West Bromwich Albion or Schalke were the best games in which I've played – probably they weren't – but definitely they were games I enjoyed a lot. I feel right now I am playing the best football of my career.
"When I chose this challenge it's because I felt it could be this way but I didn't come here to just play well and that's it. I came to win trophies and, if I could play well and enjoy myself, all the better.
"There will be games I cannot enjoy myself the way I am now because other teams will approach games differently but the most important thing for me is we know what we are doing: when we defend, when we attack, when we have to slow the pace, go quicker. We are being composed, mature, disciplined, and are playing very well."
Chelsea's 5-0 victory over Schalke on Tuesday ensured their qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League at the top of Group G with a game to spare.
Fabregas again starred for the Blues in the win and has put his rich vein of form down to the way in which he has been deployed in the heart of the midfield by Mourinho.
"This is my best position, 100 per cent," he enthused. "I feel more in control of the game: I touch the ball all the time; I feel happy; I go and get the ball from here, from there; I can go forward and Oscar drops deep. So I feel free, I feel confident, I feel in control and that's what I like the most in football.
"Sometimes in the last three or four years in the national team and Barcelona, I was playing like a No.9. I have to do it for the team and I enjoy it, it's all good, but here where I am playing is where I enjoy playing my football the most."

"It is never nice to lose a record, but the fact that I'm now sharing it with someone of Xavi's calibre makes it a bit less bad," Giggs toldMundo Deportivo.
"Xavi is a bit like a chess player. He is always two or three steps ahead of everybody else. For me, he is one of the greatest players ever who played for one of the best teams ever.
"What surprised me most about him whenever I played against him was the way he protects the ball. He always keeps it far away from his opponents. He always seemed to make the perfect decision.
"He is a very intelligent player and always remains humble. He reminds me a bit of Paul Scholes."
Xavi has made the most appearances in the Champions League without qualifying rounds since the new format was introduced back in 1992. He has played 145 matches, one more than Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

BREAKING: Brandao sentenced to a month in jail for Thiago Motta headbutt

Bastiastriker Brandaohas been sentenced to a month in prison for headbutting Paris Saint- Germainmidfielder Thiago Motta- but the Brazilian might not serve any jail time.
The 34-year-old forward was on Thursday found guilty of assaulting the Italy international after their respective clubs' Ligue 1 meeting in the French capital on August 16.
The president of the correctional tribunal of Paris decreed that Brandao should serve a month in prison and pay a fine of €20,000, but added that an agreement could be reached that would see the player avoid incarceration.
The incident occurred after the conclusion of PSG's 2-0 win over Bastia but was captured on television cameras, with Brandao shown to have waited for Thiago Motta to enter the tunnel before confronting and then headbutting the midfielder.
The prosecution had called for the former Olympique de Marseille ace to be jailed for eight months and fined €15,000 because of the allegedly premeditated nature of the assault, claiming Brandao's reaction to his earlier on-field dispute with Thiago Motta had been "totally disproportionate and not instantaneous ... It was an act that was thought out, calculated ... and simply appalling."
Motta, meanwhile, had stated during his police statement: "During our clash on the field, he told me that he would wait for me. I had no idea that he really would."
However, Brandao's defence attorney had argued that the headbutt was "a sudden impulse" and an angry response to taunts from Thiago Motta relating to a rape allegation made against the South American in 2012, which was ultimately dropped.
Despite the fact that he may avoid imprisonment for the assault on Motta, Brandao, who was not present in court as he was undergoing surgery on a thigh problem, must still serve the six-month suspension handed out to him by Ligue 1's disciplinary commission in September, which means he will not be eligible to play again until February of next year.

Bitter Experience:- Buhari’s Plane Denied Landing In Makurdi Airport

A chartered aircraft conveying All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and his entourage, was on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 allegedly denied landing rights by the authorities of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
The former Head of State, alongside his entourage, was travelling from Bayelsa State to Makurdi to woo delegates of his party ahead of the APC delegates congress scheduled for December but had their flight denied permission to touch down in Makurdi.
A source said: "the flight was earlier granted landing permission but we were all surprised when half an hour to his arrival, a counter directive was issued mid-flight thereby forcing the aircraft to head to Abuja.
"What they did was evil and dangerous, what if the plane was low on fuel, what do think would have happened? Desperation has set in in our politics and it is posing grave danger to our democracy."
The Benue State chairman of the APC, Comrade Abba Yaro, confirmed the incident describing it as unfortunate.
He explained that loyalists of the party, who had laid siege to the airport yesterday morning were disappointed and had to disperse when they learnt of the unfortunate development.
He said: "We will certainly react to this ugly incident because what they have done was not only callous and wicked but also unacceptable in modern day Nigeria."
All attempts to speak with officials of FAAN in Makurdi on the matter failed as they all declined to comment on the issue.

PDP Youth Group Reacts To Oba Of Lagos Support For APC

The youth wing of the People's Democratic Party, the PDP National Youth Frontier (PDPNYF) is not happy with comments credited to the Oba of Lagos,Oba Rilwan Akiolu.
It described the comment as a direct attack against PDP and a mockery of non-partisanship, saying traditional rulers should be for all.
The highly respected Oba was quoted to have remarked thus:
"Recently, I told Bode George, [Musiliu] Koko and [Adeseye] Ogunlewe that 'Look at me o! You will never win Lagos. God will give us another APC governor'.
Speaking as the chief launcher of the autobiography of the former President of the Court of Appeal, Mustapha Akanbi, at the Sheraton Hotels in Abuja on Wednesday, Oba Akiolu said Lagos would remain an APC state.
The PDPNYF hereby condemns the altrances of the Oba who is supposed to remain neutral at all time.
But you may wish to know that the Oba of Benin openly endorsed Jonathan in 2011 without any complain.

Beauty Queen Rescued From Kidnappers Who Posed As Aliko Dangote On Facebook [See Photo]

The Lagos state Police command has rescued the current Miss Nigeria International 2014 & daughter of an aide to Kwara state Governor, Miss Sa'adat Bibire, who was abducted two weeks ago by a gang of kidnappers who deceived her to come to Warri, Delta state from Lagos after they promised to make her the ambassador of the Aliko Dangote brand.
The gang, made up of students of the Delta state Polytechnic Ozoro, had opened a Facebook account disguising as Aliko Dangote and contacted Sa'adat.
They invited her to Warri with the promise to make her Dangote brand ambassador.
On getting to Warri, Sa'adat was kidnapped and taken to a place on the outskirts of Ozoro town in Isoko Local Government Area in Delta state.
The kidnappers then contacted her family and asked for N20m ransom, which was supposed to be paid into a Malaysian account.
Parading one of the suspects before newsmen, the Lagos state Police commissioner said a manhunt for the kidnappers was immediately launched after they contacted the girls family but only one of them was arrested while the others are currently on the run.
When interrogated, one of her abductors, 23 year old Patrick Ifada (pictured above), said he was lured into the kidnap gang because of the money offered
"I accepted to join the gang because of the money involved.
We opened a fake Facebook account pretending to be Alhaji Aliko Dangote and we convinced her to come over to Delta State to meet the businessman.
At first, our ransom was N20 million.
When they were not forthcoming with the money, we brought it down to N15 million and then N10 million.
I was the one staying with the victim in our hideout.
We were using the quarters of one of our members, Destiny. We are five in number and I was promised a huge sum.
Other gang members are Destiny, Marcus Omajuwa, Ugada and Chuka. We are all students of Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, ND 1.
I was studying Computer Science. She was in our hideout for about two weeks.
We asked the Special Adviser to pay the ransom into a Malaysian account that one Fred helped us to set up. None of us raped her.
Destiny told us we were only going to make money from her family, and not to assault her"he told Vanguard
The wife of one of the kidnappers was arrested alongside Patrick.

Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran Split? She Says ‘I’m Single Again’

Oh no! Looks like Karrueche will not be spending the holidays with Chris this year, as Karrueche took to Twitter on Nov. 26 to announce that she is 'a single lady again.'
Poor Karrueche Tran.We know that she loves Chris Brown, 25, with all of her heart and has supported him and defended him endlessly. Unfortunately, things seem to have gone sour for the couple, as the 26-year-old model announced over her Twitter on Nov. 26 that she was back on the market.
Karrueche tweeted:
Looks like I'm a single lady again 😏
— Karrueche Tran (@karrueche) November 26, 2014
So sad! Karrueche and Chris were living together full time, and they had big plans of a future together — she even wanted to be Chris' baby mama down the road! Though the couple has had their fair share of ups and downs, Karruche has done everything in her power to fix their relationship, including going to couples therapywith Chris.
Now it looks like Karrueche has had enough and is done trying. After supporting Chris through rehab, she's been there for him when he needed her most, and it seems like it's time they go their separate ways. We have no doubt about it that Karrueche will find the man of her dreams one day.

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN: Reps List 50 Impeachable Offences Against Pres. Jonathan

Indications emerged yesterday that members of the House of Representatives are on the same page with their Senate counterparts in their bid to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
Indications emerged yesterday that members of the House of Representatives are on the same page with their Senate counterparts in their bid to impeachPresident Goodluck Jonathan.
It was reliably gathered that the assemblymen would start impeachment process against the President immediately it reconvenes next Wednesday.
This is just as the lawmakers coordinating the impeachment process have disclosed that they have identified over 50 constitutional violations against the President, which would form part of the impeachment notice.
A ranking officer in the House who revealed this said both chambers have resolved to work together for the common good of the country by impeaching President Jonathan for "incompetence, corruption and unprecedented impunity."
He revealed that the impeachment plot against Jonathan was not a partisan affair, explaining that lawmakers from all the political parties have identified with the "cause" and will not give up until the President is "sent packing."
"I'm sure you read the reports today that senators are going to move against Jonathan. Now you can confirm that the impeachment thing is not about APC. It is a non-partisan cause. We have all resolved that the man (President Jonathan) must go.
"Never in the history of Nigeria has a leader displayed such crass incompetence as we have seen in President Jonathan. It is glaring and you can feel it. Mr. President, with due respect, has shown that he is not capable of running this country. That is the basic truth", he stated.
According to the lawmaker, over 50 impeachable offences have been identified against the president and members of the House would work closely with the Senate to ensure that the president is impeached.

New Law Makes Deceiving Someone To Make Them Sleep With You Considered Rape [Must Read]

I know some men will find this ridiculous but it's a bill being introduced by a male lawmaker in NJ.
It's called 'sexual assault by fraud' and if passed, I'm sure a lot of men & women will be charged.
Report From nj.comBelow
Imagine this: A man woos a woman to bed with tales of his riches, fast cars and a vacation home in Monaco.
But he actually lives in his mother's basement.
Or this: A seemingly wealthy widow convinces a younger man to sleep with her on the notion that they may marry and he'll inherit her money. In reality, she's broke.
In both cases, someone lied about his or her status in order to have s*x with someone else.
Under a bill recently proposed by a south Jersey lawmaker, such actions would not only be considered dishonest.
They could prompt charges of rape.
Earlier this month, state Assemblyman Troy Singleton (D-Burlington – pictured above) introduced the bill (A3908), which would create the crime of "sexual assault by fraud," which it defines as "an act of sexual penetration to which a person has given consent because the actor has misrepresented the purpose of the act or has represented he is someone he is not."
Singleton decided to introduce the legislation after talking to Florence resident Mischele Lewis, who had been duped into paying $5,000 to her boyfriend, Cherry Hill resident William Allen Jordan, for what he claimed was a security clearance.
Jordan said he was a British military official, but it turned out he was a serial bigamist and scam artist who pleaded guilty to defrauding Lewis on Nov. 10.
Prosecutors had initially tried to charge Jordan with sexual assault by coercion, but a grand jury refused to indict him on that charge.
"I truly believe that we have to look at the issue of rape as more than sexual contact without consent,"Singleton said.
"Fraud invalidates any semblance of consent just as forcible sexual contact does.
This legislation is designed to provide our state's judiciary with another tool to assess situations where this occurs and potentially provide a legal remedy to those circumstances."
As written, the bill doesn't consider sexual assault by fraud any less serious than other types of sexual assault that are already on the books.
It could be a first degree or second degree crime depending on "the circumstances surrounding the act," punishable with 10 to 20 years in prison in the former and 5 to 10 years in prison in the latter.
"The punishment aspect, that part we didn't touch. The prosecutors and the judges and the jurors would be able to use discretion,"Singleton said.
Singleton said that he's open to refining the bill so it's not abused.
"It's my intention, as the bill is moved through the amendment process, to ensure that while we allow for judicial discretion we don't want unintended consequences,"he said.
The issue of "rape-by-fraud" is the subject of a new book by New York City resident Joyce M. Short, who said she married a man who lied about his age, marital status, education and military service, among other things.
Joyce M. Short is the author of "Carnal Abuse by Deceit: How a Predator's Lies Became Rape"
Short, who has met with Lewis, said, "(Jordan) hadn't threatened her. Quite the contrary. He had seduced her.
But he had seduced her through a hoax, through a fraudulent means.
And just like Bernie Madoff is in prison because he stole money from people by defrauding them, someone can vitiate your knowing consent by defrauding you in order to have s*x."
Short said that one of the main objections people have to the idea of sexual assault by fraud is equating it with violent sexual assault.
"My response to that is there are many ways to sexually assault a person. Violence is one of them.
And there are no words that can come to relating the horrible violation of a person when that happens to them," Short said. "But we should not look asunder.
We should not simply cast away the concept that people are defrauded of s*x."
According to a memo by the Office of Legislative Services written at Singleton's request, at least five states — Tennessee, Alabama, California, Colorado and Montana — have some sort of crime for s*x by fraud. In Alabama, it's a lesser offense than rape.
Alan Zegas — a prominent New Jersey criminal defense attorney who has represented many defendants accused of sexual assault — said the Singleton's bill is far too broad and probably would not survive a constitutional challenge.
"What if a man were to say to a woman 'I love you' and engage in s*x and he really didn't love her? It could be as simple as that,"Zegas said.
"The definition is so broad that it doesn't put the citizens of the state on fair notice of what it is that constitutes the crime."
Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld in a 2013 article for the Yale Law Journal said that "'
Rape-by-deception' is almost universally rejected in American criminal law," but that it shouldn't be because "courts have held for a hundred years in virtually every area of the law outside of rape, a consent procured through deception is no consent at all."
Rubenfeld said that in many states that do have statutes on rape by fraud, it's only if the perpetrator impersonates the victim's spouse or dupes the victim into having s*x for medical reasons.
But Rubenfeld said that's because the case law is based on an outdated definition of rape that wasn't really about the victim's consent, but about her virtue.
"Rape law's exclusion of almost all s*x-by-deception claims followed from the fact that in such cases the woman had willingly had non-marital s*x.
Though deceived, she had willingly surrendered her virtue and thus could not claim rape,'" Rubenfeld wrote.
