Police drop charges against former teacher who married the student she was accused of having sex with

Prosecutors have dropped charges against a Missouri high school teacher after she married the student she was accused of having sex with.  


In February 2019, former Sarcoxie High School teacher Baylee A. Turner, 26, was charged with having sexual relations with one of her male students following an investigation by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department in Missouri, US .


Turner, who was 23 years old when the case was brought up, was a first-year English teacher at the high school when she was accused of having sexual intercourse with a student in January 2019.

The relationship led to her resignation from the school.   


According to court documents, both Turner and the student acknowledged that they had sex at Turner’s home .

Turner taught English at the Sarcoxie middle school for two years before being assigned to teach high school new students and seniors in 2019. 

Assistant prosecutor Nate Dally has now revealed the charge against her was being dismissed after she married the student, whose identity has not been revealed.  

Dally said that because the former student now has marital or spousal privilege,  he can no longer be compelled to testify against his wife, weakening the state’s case in court. 

Missouri state law prohibits sexual contact between teachers and students, regardless of age. Turner was facing up to four years in prison if convicted.

Dally also revealed that Turner has surrendered her state teaching license, which was one of the main goals of the prosecutors.

The Globe reported that Turner was one of six young educators in the state that have been accused of having sex with students in recent years. 

2 gay couple to be hanged in Iran after they were jailed on ‘sodomy’ charges 6 years ago

Two gay men in Iran have been executed after spending six years on death row.


Mehrdad Karimpour and Farid Mohammadi were hanged in a prison in the northwestern city of Maragheh, some 310 miles away from the capital, Tehran, where they had been convicted on charges of sodomy. 


They were sentenced to death for ‘forced sexual intercourse between two men’ in Iran , where homosexuality is illegal

The men’s identities were confirmed in a report by the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) on Sunday. It added state-run outlets in Iran had yet to announce the deaths.

Sheina Vojoudi, who fled Iran and escaped to Germany, told The Jerusalem Post that the country’s prisons are ‘full of people who have committed no crime’. 


LGBTQ+ rights campaigner Peter Tatchell also told the publication the execution follows ‘a long-standing regime policy of the state-sanctioned murder of gay men, often on disputed charges after unfair trials that have been condemned by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch’.

He added: ‘The international community must impose Magnitsky sanctions on the regime officials, judges and prison staff who authorized these executions – and on those responsible for the many other human rights cases of abuse in Iran’. 


Iranian American journalist Karmel Melamed in a tweet called for ‘outrage’ from the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.


He said: ‘The Ayatollah regime in Iran just executed two gay men for the crime of sodomy in Iran. This is Mehrdad Karimpour and Farid Mohammadi who were executed by hanging. Where’s the outrage from @StateDept @SecBlinken @glaad & other LGBT groups in U.S. to this horrific crime?!’ 

Last May Alireza Fazeli Monfared, 20, who identified as gay and non-binary, was abducted by several male relatives and murdered in Ahvaz, Khuzestan province in Iran.


Speaking about the killing, Amnesty wrote: ‘LGBTI people in Iran face pervasive discrimination, live in the constant fear of harassment, arrest and criminal prosecution, and remain vulnerable to violence and persecution based on their real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity. 


HRANA added that in July 2021, two other men were executed on the same charges as Mr Karimpour and Mr Mohammadi in Maragheh and that last year, Iran executed 299 people, including four convicted of crimes committed as children.

In 2021, Iran sentenced 85 people to death.

Novak Djokovic have finally decided to ‘take COVID-19 vaccine’ after his troubles

Novak Djokovic’s biographer has claimed that the Serbian will finally take his Covid-19 vaccination after watching Rafael Nadal win a record 21st Grand Slam at the Australian Open.

Djokovic was deported from Australia earlier this year before the tournament after he had arrived in the country with a medical exemption to compete unvaccinated. He was in enforced hotel quarantine when Australia’s border force cancelled his visa and he went to court trying to overturn their decision which failed.

But it now appears that Nadal’s victory, combined with other tournaments enforcing stricter rules regarding vaccination, could have changed his mind.

His biographer Daniel Muksch appeared on Austrian TV channel ServusTV and said: ‘What you hear from his environment, I think he’s getting vaccinated.

‘Maybe the final in Melbourne also contributed to that. Rafael Nadal’s 21 is driving him, no question.’ 

Muksch’s book on Djokovic, called ‘A Lifetime At War’, comes out in March.

Nadal defeated World No 2 Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling final on Sunday, fighting back from two sets down to win the final and overtake both Djokovic and Roger Federer on 21 titles. The other two are level on 20. 

Djokovic took to social media to congratulate Nadal, saying: ‘Congratulations to @RafaelNadal for 21st GS.

‘Amazing achievement. Always impressive fighting spirit that prevailed another time.

‘@Medwed33 (Medvedev’s social media handle) gave it his all out there and played with the passion and determination we have come to expect from him.’

PSG Star, Neymar, grabs the prestigious Samba Gold award for a record the 5th time

PSG superstar, Neymar has won the prestigious Samba Gold award for a record fifth time.


Neymar, 29, received the esteemed prize, which is awarded to the best Brazilian footballer playing outside of the country, for the second consecutive year after registering 17 goals and 18 assists for PSG in 2021.


The prize is given to the best Brazilian footballer playing outside the country. 


Since moving to Europe in 2013, Neymar has picked up the Samba Gold award five times over the last nine years. 


Before Neymar, Chelsea’s Thiago Silva dominated the Samba Gold award from 2011-13, receiving the gong while plying his trade with AC Milan and PSG.


Neymar was handed the prize in both 2014 and 2015, before earning it again in 2017 after then-Liverpool ace Phillipe Coutinho was named winner in 2016.


Another two Liverpool stars, Roberto Firmino and Alisson, were then awarded the honour in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

Fiery Nancy Pelosi’s son currently investigated by FBI over bribery and fraud

US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi’s son has reportedly been involved in a fraud and bribery scheme that was investigated by the FBI, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.


 The documents indicate Paul Pelosi, 53, was the homeowner of the flophouse at the center of the fraud and bribery investigation.

Paul Pelosi Jr. signed statements that he was the property owner and ‘the party legally and financially responsible for this proposed construction activity’ at the property known as ‘The Pit’.


Documents show he was applying for one of the same permits that building inspector Bernie Curran and ‘permits expeditor’ Rodrigo Santos have been indicted for in a high-profile public corruption criminal case .Curran and Santos are due in federal court in San Francisco this week according to the FBI.

The Department of Building Inspection form signed by Pelosi Jr from 2017 provides some evidence of his close connection in the case.

The FBI says that Santos arranged for his clients to donate thousands of dollars to Curran’s favorite non-profit in exchange for him ignoring violations that would prevent their buildings from getting city permits.


One client, identified only as Client 9 in court documents, wrote a $1,500 check to the nonprofit to help remove violations from a hotel that was owned by Pelosi Jr’s former girlfriend, Karena Apple Feng.


New documents as well as text messages have created speculation that Client 9 may be Pelosi Jr.


The text messages between the two show Client 9 discussing the donation to Curran’s favorite charity to ease the permit process.


‘I will forward the address to Curran. He will abate it,’ Santos allegedly wrote in September 2017.


‘Please drop off a check payable to Golden Gate Youth [Rugby] Association for $1k. Bernie’s nonprofit.’


‘With pleasure,’ Client 9 replied, and later sent Santos a picture of a $1,500 check with the message, ‘Made the donation and it is being sent today’.


The check was never deposited by the club, and prosecutors have not made any accusations of wrongdoing relating to it.


The charging documents describe Client 9 as ‘an individual working on behalf of the owners of the property located on the 1300 block of Utah Street’.


There is one permit in the DBI system at that address, signed off by Curran on December 7, 2017. The application number on that document matches the number Pelosi Jr wrote on documents dated the same day that were obtained by the Daily Mail.

Pelosi Jr was hired by five firms that were subject to both federal and state probes due to ‘connections to a host of fraudsters, rule-breakers and convicted criminals’.

As at press time, Pelosi has not yet been charged but this ongoing criminal case would be the sixth.


 His mother, Nancy is the highest-ranking elected woman in the US while his father is a successful American businessman.

Yasmeena Ali, Afghan’s porn star, slams Taliban after coercing her father to kill her

28-year-old Yasmeena Ali, a top porn star from Afghanistan has opened up about the risks she’s taken to pursue sex work after leaving behind her religion and family.

The former muslim said in an interview with The Post that she feels empowered by her kinky occupation, despite her own father purportedly trying to have her killed over it.

Ali said; 

“I was surprised when I first started working in this industry with how well women are paid compared to their male co-stars.

“A lot of times women in other industries with higher qualifications and experiences do not get the same paycheck or respect as their male colleagues.”

Afghanistan?s top porn star slams Taliban after her father?s alleged plot to have her killed

Ali now clocks over 9 million video views on Pornhub. But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the former Muslim, who now resides in Eastern Europe. From speaking out about the Taliban to cutting off ties with her family, the brunette beauty revealed the brave meaning behind her X-rated scenes.

Ali was born in Kabul in 1993. After years spent living under oppressive Taliban rule, she immigrated to the United Kingdom with her family in the early 2000s. According to the Toronto Sun, Ali’s father was “granted asylum in the UK for providing British and US troops with translation services during fighting in the Middle East.”

But Ali didn’t find life in England any easier, saying she felt suffocated growing up in a strict Muslim household.

As a teenager, she “escaped” from her family and tied the knot with Jewish photographer David Cohen. She renounced her religion, “unlocked” her sexual side and embarked on a kinky career as an adult actress.

In 2020, Ali was thrust into the headlines after her father and his cousin were arrested for an alleged plot to have her killed because she had “disgraced the family” by getting into porn.

Dad Mohammed Patman and cousin Darya Khan Safi were also said to be outraged that she married a Jew. It’s alleged that in August 2018, Patman flew to Slovakia and was “actively searching” for Ali. A hitman allegedly stated that he would kill the porn star for $70,000. Patman and Safi are now in the process of being extradited to Slovakia.

Ali who is now an atheist told The Post; 

“I don’t have any contact with my family and they haven’t told me face-to-face how they feel about my career.

“My parents always instilled fear in me — God, hell, punishments.

“After I left Islam, my father threatened to kill me for tarnishing Islam, the Afghan culture and the family’s honor.

“At the end of the day, it is my life and I don’t care about people’s reactions to my career. I follow my heart and do whatever I want because it is my life, my body and right.”

Earlier this month, Ali sat down with Tommie McDonald for an interview on his “I Hate Porn” podcast.

The adult movie star slammed the Taliban, saying she believes its hypocritical members are secret porn lovers and in some cases, not-so-secret. A “considerable” cache of porn was found on the computers of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after his death in 2011.

She said;

I wouldn’t be surprised [if they watch porn].

“And yet, they restrict the rights of women and police their sexuality.

“Sexually repressed societies are kind of obsessed. When you look at where most of the viewers come from. . . most of them are from Middle Eastern countries and India, for example.”

Ali also told the podcast she felt oppressed in Afghanistan and “saw people being beaten up” for refusing to follow orders from the Taliban. She said there were frequent instances of “domestic violence” and added that gay men in Afghanistan are unable to acknowledge their true sexuality for fear of being murdered.

The erotic entertainer believes she is on the Taliban’s radar, but says they certainly aren’t the only Afghans who have a problem with her unorthodox occupation. Not only is Ali dubbed “Afghanistan’s top porn star,” she’s also been described as the country’s “only porn star,” which underscores the need for more sexual freedom, she said.

Ali told McDonald of Afghans;

“They don’t want Afghanistan to be known for porn.

“They think they own my body and what I can do with my body and I have no right to show it.”

In her interview with the “I Hate Porn” podcast, Ali admitted it took time to shed the feelings of shame she felt about her sexual desires. After fleeing from her family as a teen, Ali says she had to unlearn everything she knew, from the foods she typically ate to the way she dressed. Then came her sexual self-exploration.

After months of practice, the porn star finally reached a climax, saying her first orgasm was “the trigger for a lot of things.”

She added; 

“I couldn’t masturbate. I couldn’t have an orgasm

“My first orgasm helped me to relax and explore things.”

Ali who is now exploring many new things, is seen in numerous threesome and girl-on-girl videos available on the internet. In one X-rated clip, Ali is seen performing a sex act on a so-called “grandpa.”

Pushing the envelope with her content isn’t just about servicing her viewers’ fantasies. For Ali, it’s personal.

She said; 

“I’ve always been a rebellious person.

“My instinct tells me to be against anything that tries to oppress me.”

Malicious Cyber Activities Alert: FBI urges Olympic athletes to leave personal phones at home before heading for Beijing games

The FBI has told Olympic athletes to leave their personal cell phones at home and instead take burner phones to the Beijing Winter Olympics this month, citing the potential for “malicious cyber activities.”


“The FBI urges all athletes to keep their personal cell phones at home and use a temporary phone while at the games. The National Olympic Committees in some Western countries are also advising their athletes to leave personal devices at home or use temporary phones due to cybersecurity concerns at the Games,” the agency said in a notice.


While not aware of “any specific cyber threat against the Olympics” the FBI added that it’s important that those at the games be “vigilant and maintain best practices in their network and digital environments.”

The warning comes amid rising concerns by US national security officials about Chinese espionage and intellectual property theft.


Intelligence officials have also publicly warned that China has created an advanced techno-surveillance state within its borders, using cameras, facial recognition and other technology.

The US believes that US state and local officials, as well as members of business and academia, who travel to China face the risk of having their personal devices hacked. 


Due to this threat, the FBI routinely provides so-called defensive briefings to Americans it considers to be at risk of becoming victims of Chinese espionage efforts.

The FBI currently has open over 2,000 counterintelligence investigations into alleged efforts by Beijing to steal American information of technology, according to FBI Director Chris Wray.

“When we tally up what we see in our investigations, there is just no country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, our innovation, and our economic security than China,” Wray said during public remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

Due to the US’ stands off with China,  US athletes are allowed to compete in the Beijing Olympics but the Biden administration will not be sending government officials to the games. 

The same policy applies for the Paralympic Games, which are also taking place in Beijing. The White House is looking to send a “clear message” that the human rights abuses in China mean there cannot be “business as usual,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

Amnesty International calls Israel ‘an apartheid state,’ Israel responds

Israel has responded after Amnesty International called it ‘an apartheid state’.


In a new report, Human Rights group, Amnesty International said “Israel enforces a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians. Israeli laws, policies and practices against Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories amount to apartheid”

Amnesty International calls Israel


The report calls Israel’s act “an institutionalized regime of oppression and domination of the Palestinian population for the benefit of Jewish Israelis”.

Amnesty International calls Israel


Apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law. It’s not the first time Amnesty International has criticized Israel over its alleged maltreatment of Palestinians in Israel.


Responding on Tuesday February 1, Israel, called Amnesty an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel hate organisation, and “absolutely rejects all the false allegations” in the report.


An Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson accused Amnesty of recycling “lies, inconsistencies, and unfounded assertions that originate from well-known anti-Israeli hate organisations”.


“The report denies the State of Israel’s right to exist as the nation state of the Jewish people. Its extremist language and distortion of historical context were designed to demonize Israel and pour fuel onto the fire of anti-Semitism,” they said in a statement.


Apartheid was a policy of racial segregation and discrimination that was enforced by the white minority government in South Africa against the country’s black majority from 1948 until 1991.

Introduced in South Africa in 1948, black people were regarded as inferior and there were no votes for blacks in their national election. Also black people were prevented from owning land in much of South Africa.


Three main international treaties prohibit apartheid, including the 1973 International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.

Over 20% of Israel’s population of 9.45 million are Arabs, many of whom self-identify as Palestinians, while 2.9 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which Israel occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.


 1.9 million Palestinians also live in the Gaza Strip, which Israel pulled out of in 2005 but the UN still considers to also be occupied.

“My dad created anonymous accounts to see my *nudes* and he’s one of my top paying customers” – A lady discovers (video)

A woman called the police on her biological father after finding out that he created fake social media accounts and has been paying to view her naked photos and videos.

21-year-old Karla Ramirez said her father had been buying her OnlyFans content through two accounts for more than a year.

She said she found out her father was the person behind the accounts while having a phone call sex with the anonymous customer only to hear her mother’s voice in the background during the call.

In a series of TikTok videos explaining the situation, Karla said that the man, who she later figured out is her father, forgot to mute his microphone while on a paid sexual phone call with her.

She wrote on TikTok: “When my dad yes, my DAD has been buying my OF through not one but two accounts, and was a personal client of mine on both accounts for over a year, and the only way I found out is because he called me to ‘play with myself for $150 and I could hear my mum in the back ground talking on the phone.”

In a series of follow-up videos,  Karla explained that she’d moved out of her parents’ house when she was just 16 years old, and hadn’t talked to her father in the years since.

Disgusted by finding out that he’d been following her adult content online, she acknowledged she’d suspected something funny about that particular follower for a while.

She said in one video: “I should have just known. I should have just known from the get-go that something was off.”

She went on, explaining that she called the police about the horrific situation, and then rushed to her parents’ house to confront her father.

At her parents’ house, she began to yell at her dad while he allegedly tried to prove his innocence by denying that he had the accounts linked on his phone.

Karla said she never specifically revealed why she was there to her father so “it was just so obvious” as to why he was apologizing preemptively.

She recalled: “I go inside and I started beating him. I’m your daughter you sick f**k and my mom was yelling at me to stop. … He just knew why I was there. It was just so obvious. He already knew why I was there and he was just trying to cover his ass.”

Karla went on to explain that she believes her dad has allegedly been catfishing her ever since she was in middle school by using fake Facebook and Snpachat accounts.

She also alleged that her father sexually assaulted her and put her in a position to be molested when she was a very young girl.

She also revealed in the clip that her father allegedly sent her money to rate his d*ck pictured via Snapchat.

Her story has gone viral on TikTok and it’s being widely shared on other platforms too.

Victoria, David Beckham’s wife, has eaten the same food every day for 25 years – Her husband confirms

David Beckham has revealed that his wife Victoria has eaten the same meal every day for 25 years.

The 46-year-old said he loves sharing his food with his wife but she only eats grilled fish and steamed vegetables.

He said the one time she tried to eat something else was “one of his favourite evenings.”

Discussing his wife’s eating habits on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast, he explained: “I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.

“Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

“Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.”

He continued: “The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing. It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since.”

Victoria has previously revealed she won’t eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces, and she doesn’t eat red meat or dairy.

She said her comfort food is a piece of whole grain toast with salt on it and on her birthday she celebrates with a cake made from fruit.

David Beckham went on to say that he enjoys having the house to himself without Victoria at home because he can cook what he wants.

A post on his official Facebook account also said calm had returned to the capital Bissau.

State television was off the air but there was no immediate official statement on the confused situation which a Bissau resident contacted by phone simply described as “complicated. ”

A journalist interviewed on radio said government officials were at the Palace, while the workers were locked up in a section of the building with their telephones de-activated.

Markets and streets were deserted and some schools were closed with parents worried about the safety of their children and wards.

President Mbalo, a former Prime Minister and opposition leader won a run-off vote in January 2020 after a bitterly contested presidential election.

Last October, the military announced that it had foiled a plot to overthrow the government.

Guinea Bissau, with less than two million people, is no stranger to political instability with several coups since its independence from Portugal in 1974.

It is also hub for the trafficking of hard drugs.

Guinea Bissau belongs to the 15-nation ECOWAS region where the military have seized power in three of the member States – Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso – in the last 18 months.

Enginners ! See 8 best countries for engineers abroad, Apply today !

Engineers have been said to be the movers and shakers of our contemporary world. Whatever one have chosen to specialize in, be it mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, or any other form of engineering, the things you’ll help invent, design, and construct will become the staple diets of our global economy for many years to come.

Meanwhile, given the international structure of the industry, it may come as no surprise that more and more budding engineers are choosing to seek out engineering jobs abroad every year. Whether recently graduated or mid-career, a job in engineering abroad can be your opportunity to explore a new part of the world, immerse yourself in a new culture, and travel where your specific skill is most valued.

However, engineering is an extremely lucrative field, where demand outweighs supply in the global workforce; so unlike many other professions, you’ll have the opportunity to go anywhere in the world that most intrigues you, because odds are that engineering job opportunities will be plentiful.

Without further much emphasis, below is the list of the best countries for engineering jobs abroad:

1. Canada

Canada is an infrastructurally sound country with an advanced economy and vast access to natural resources, such as gas and lumber. It also boasts progressive environmental and social legislature, making it a great place to work for engineers who are passionate about these issues. Those looking for petroleum engineering jobs abroad or chemical engineering jobs abroad will benefit from Canada’s resource-rich economy. You will have to become licensed by a professional engineering association in Canada in order to practice, but this will be well worth it as you enter into one of the world’s most dynamic workforces.

2. New Zealand

Down in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand is also a great country to find jobs for engineers abroad. New Zealand has one of the most stable economies in the world, and is a great destination for civil engineers who want to contribute to building a safe structural environment for all to benefit from (those earthquakes have an impact, don’t ya know). New Zealand is a large country with over 4 million citizens, but it still faces an engineering deficit in its work force, meaning that jobs for engineers in New Zealand are many and varied.
Bird’s eye view of a Brazilian neighborhood
With one of the largest economies in the world still in the process of developing, Brazil is a great place for engineers to get in on the ground floor.

3. Switzerland

Neighboring Germany high up in the Alps, Switzerland can be an equally fruitful destination to seek out engineering jobs abroad. This infamously neutral country is one of the wealthiest in the world, and no small part of this stems directly from its success in innovative engineering. Scientific research and manufacturing are both vital components of the Swiss economy, so mechanical and chemical engineers would do well to look for work abroad in this peaceful European nation.

4. Germany

Crossing the Atlantic, few countries in the world have as rich a history in engineering as Germany. Widely regarded for its booming automobile and pharmaceutical industries, Germany is an extremely lucrative place to find jobs for engineers abroad, especially in the mechanical and biomedical sectors. German universities rank among the best in the world for scientific research, and this spirit of innovation carries over into its professional sectors to make it an attractive destination to look for jobs in engineering.

5. England

Though you’ll need a Tier 5 licensed company to get a paid engineering job, the extra paperwork and effort will make all the difference. Having work experience in England will be invaluable, not to mention you won’t have to worry about a language barrier. Since engineers are in reasonable demand, to continue keeping up with the Jones’ of the developing world, engineering jobs in England will surely pay a livable wage too.

6. India

Moving on to South Asia, India is perhaps the most important emerging country in today’s international landscape. With a population nearing 1.3 billion people, engineers of all different backgrounds and skillsets are valued in India to help lift this potential economic powerhouse further into the arena of global competitiveness. Whether you’re looking for a civil engineering job abroad to help build up the country’s fledgling infrastructure or a biomedical engineering job abroad developing new medicines that can benefit millions, there are no shortage of engineering jobs abroad in India for international aspirants.

7. Japan

Last on our list of best countries for engineering jobs abroad is Japan, a country that has played a leading role in global technology and industry for decades. One of the wealthiest nations in the world, Japan has about as impressive a national infrastructure as there comes, boasting a high-speed railway that connects almost the entire country with punctuality down to the minute. Mechanical, electrical, biomedical, chemical, Japan is another country where engineers of all different backgrounds can find fruitful work.

8. China

To the north, China is soon to overtake the United States as the largest economy in the world, and so it should come as no shock that a talented engineering workforce has played a huge role in its rapid development. The Chinese government invests heavily in infrastructural, scientific, and technological innovation, and is also making a sincere effort to globalize its country into a new international order. Foreign workers are valued highly in China for these reasons, and engineering jobs are plentiful in all sectors of the profession.

Ukraine has also been training its civilians on military warfare incase of an invasion (photos)

About 200 U.S troops have been pictured in Kiev, Ukraine, after they were sent to train the country’s military against an expected Russian invasion.

The troops from the Florida National Guard are training Ukrainian forces to use ‘bunker buster’ rocket launchers amid fears Russia’s President Putin is about to invade after amassing 130,000 soldiers at the border.

The US has also sent 300 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine which are designed to attack Putin’s tanks, with the same weapons sent from Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. The UK has sent NLAW anti-tank missiles, with British troops also recently pictured training the Ukrainians on how to use them in Kiev last week.


Moscow denies it plans to invade Ukraine and has instead accused military alliance, NATO of trying to attack Russia.

Russia has issued a list of security demands to the US and NATO including that Ukraine be banned from joining the alliance and that forces are withdrawn from ex-Soviet states. .


The US and NATO have since sent two letters to Moscow rejecting those demands but offering other concessions.

Bill Cosby asks Supreme Court to quash his sexual assault case

A lawyer for Bill Cosby has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a bid by prosecutors to revive his criminal sex assault case. 

The 84-year-old American actor and comedian has been free since June, when a Pennsylvania appeals court overturned his conviction and released him from prison after nearly three years. 

The state’s highest court found that Cosby believed he had a nonprosecution agreement with a former district attorney when he gave damaging testimony in the accuser’s 2005 lawsuit. That testimony later led to his arrest in 2015.

Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean says the case rests on a narrow set of facts that should not interest the Supreme Court. 

“Notwithstanding the commonwealth’s warning of imminent catastrophic consequences, the Cosby holding will likely be confined to its own ‘rare, if not entirely unique’ set of circumstances, making review by this court particularly unjustified,” she wrote in the 15-page response filed Monday.

Cosby became the first celebrity convicted of sexual assault in the #MeToo era when the jury at his 2018 retrial found him guilty of drugging and molesting college sports administrator Andrea Constand in 2004.

Cosby, a groundbreaking Black actor and comedian, created the top-ranked “Cosby Show” in the 1980s. A barrage of sexual assault allegations later destroyed his image as “America’s Dad” and led to multimillion-dollar court settlements with at least eight women. But Constand’s case was the only one to lead to criminal charges.

” I learnt how to do money rituals on Facebook” – 18-year old ritual killer says

Soliu Majekodunmi, the 18-year-old who connived with three of his friends to kill his girlfriend, Sofiyah, for suspected money ritual purposes has said that he learnt the practice through Facebook.

While being paraded before newsmen on Monday, January 31, Majekodunmi said he typed “how to make money ritual” on Facebook and got the detail, adding that the link instructed him to behead and burn a female skull in a local pot.

Majekodunmi added that he conspired with his friend, Mustakeem Balogun, and two others to lure Sofiyah to their apartment in the Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, where she was killed. 

They confessed to killing the girl, claiming that they concluded on money ritual because they wanted to ride exotic cars and live in luxury apartments. The suspects added that they purchased three pigeon eggs known as ‘Eyin Aparo’ in Yoruba language and other fetish ingredients which they added in the local pot.

As the Metaverse continues to expand, more brands are venturing into the digital space, investing in cryptocurrency and NFTs.

Big brands like Balenciaga, Adidas, Nike, and more have already joined.

However, Kanye West has said he does not intend to invest in NFTs.

He wrote on Instagram: “My focus is on building real products in the real world. Real food, real clothes, real shelter. Do not ask me to do a fucking NFT. Ask me later.”

He added in the caption: “STOP ASKING ME TO DO NFT’s I’M NOT FINNA CO-SIGN … FOR NOW I’M NOT ON THAT WAVE I MAKE MUSIC AND PRODUCTS IN THE REAL WORLD.”

FCT Bill: Abuja landlords may be forced to collect monthly rent soon

A bill seeking to regulate rent payments in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has passed a second reading in the senate.

The bill sponsored by Senator Smart Adeyemi (APC, Kogi), specifically seeks to stop yearly advance payment of rents and compel house owners to collect rent monthly in arrears.

According to Adeyemi, the bill will cushion the effect of outrageous rents on properties on residents in the nation’s capital. The lawmaker also noted that many properties in Abuja are empty because of the outrageous rents placed on them, and because some landlords always insist their tenants pay one year or two years rent.

Adeyemi said;

“Many residents of FCT are finding it very difficult to cope with huge rent payment, the reason many of the houses built for such purpose are empty.

“That is wrong. There are many tenants whose salaries are competing with their rents because they live in cities like Abuja.”

Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC, Niger) also backed the bill which he described people-centred, urging his colleagues to support its passage.

Abdullahi said; 

“There’s no gain saying that many residents in FCT are groaning under this difficult system where tenants are asked to pay house rent yearly in advance.”

Senators Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto) and Bala Ibn Na’Allah (APC, Kebbi) also supported the bill. Na’Allah stated that a system where tenants, many of whom receive meagre salaries, are forced to pay rent annually in advance encourages corruption.

He said; 

“Where we operate a system that makes it difficult for people to survive, then we may not be able fight corruption notwithstanding the resources deployed for the purpose.”

Only Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP, Enugu) opposed the bill. He maintained that rents are determined by market forces, like cost of acquiring land and building materials. This however, did not stop the passage of the bill for second reading.

R. Kelly contracts COVID-19 in prison while awaiting final sentencing

R&B singer, R. Kelly has contracted COVID-19 while awaiting sentencing in a Brooklyn federal jail for his racketeering conviction, his lawyer revealed in a court filing early Tuesday February 1.

The singer’s diagnosis has hampered his ability to speak on the phone about his appeal of his conviction, which is due Thursday, said Kelly’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, in asking for a two-week extension.

“It is vitally important that Mr. Kelly meaningfully participate in his post-trial defense,” Bonjean wrote in the motion, saying she hoped to communicate with him in an upcoming Zoom call.

Bonjean, a New York-based attorney whose legal career began in Chicago, also noted that Kelly had decided to part ways with his original trial team, but that formal withdrawals were still pending.

Bonjean said prosecutors did not object to the delay.  U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly granted the extension. The new deadline to file the appeal is now Feb. 17.

Thirty-nine inmates have reportedly contracted the virus at the facility where Kelly is being held.

Kelly, 54, was convicted Sept. 27 on racketeering conspiracy charges, alleging he used his music career to further a criminal enterprise. The jury found him guilty of 12 individual illegal acts, including sex with multiple underage girls as well as a 1994 scheme to bribe an Illinois public aid official to get a phony ID for 15-year-old singer Aaliyah so the two could get married.

He faces 10 years to life in prison when he’s sentenced in May.

The singer also is charged in U.S. District Court in Chicago with running years ong scheme to buy back sex tapes he allegedly made with underage girls and to bribe or coerce witnesses in his 2008 child pornography trial in Cook County, which ended in acquittal. U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber has set a trial for August in that case.

Vibrant Lawyer, Ugwuonye sues Air Peace and gives 10 conditions for truce

Harvard trained lawyer and founder of Due Process Advocates, Barrister Emeka Ugwuonye has given Air Peace ten conditions that must be fulfilled before he can withdraw the lawsuit he slammed against them.

Tori Media over the weekend had reported how the human rights lawyer sued Air Peace for having disregard for Nigerians after his flight was rescheduled multiple times without formal notice and apology from the company.

Ugwuonye in a statement announced that he was dragging the airline to court for toying and putting him through extreme pain and suffering.

However, while announcing his new position on the matter through an official letter, the Harvard trained scholar presented ten conditions to the airline company before the lawsuit he proffered against them can be withdrawn.

In the letter which a copy was made available to Tori Media, Ugwuonye demanded Air Peace to tender unreserved apology to their customers and that the company must agree to observe the following standards when dealing with customer complaints, (a) Where a flight is delayed beyond 3 hours, Air Peace shall:
(i) offer the traveler the option of rebooking his flight to another day at no further fees or costs, or.

The Managing Director
Air Peace Airline Limited
25, Sobo Arobiodu Street
GRA – Ikeja
Lagos
Tel: 0803 210 3091

Delivered via: DHL

Dear Managing Director:

COMPLAINT AND DEMAND

Please permit me to address you concerning the mistreatment I suffered in the hands of Air Peace management and staff on Thursday, 27th January, 2022.

On the said date, I was to travel from Abuja to Lagos. I was to fly back to Lagos via your 4:25pm flight. I got to the airport by 2pm. At the Air Peace check-in counter, I was told by Air Peace staff that my flight had been rescheduled for 8:10pm the same day. The staff who attended to me did not give me any reason for the change of schedule. Instead, she offered me a business class seat on an Air Peace flight leaving within two hours, if I were willing to pay N40,000 to upgrade my ticket. I felt disappointed, but I had no choice than to wait. I checked in my one-piece luggage and was issued a boarding pass showing a departure time of 8:10pm.

I had to wait at the departure lounge for the 8:10pm flight. The rescheduling of my flight caused me to cancel a meeting I was to have with my staff in Lagos by 7pm that evening. At 8:10pm, Air Peace did not call for boarding. I became anxious and wondered what that meant. By 9pm, there was an announcement that my flight had been moved again, now to 10:00pm. At this point, I tried to return to the city of Abuja, as I felt it would be too late for me to be in the streets of Lagos by midnight in order to travel from Murtala Mohammed Airport to my residence in Ikoyi. However, Air Peace staff could not retrieve my luggage because they had flown it to Lagos on some flight that departed Abuja to Lagos between 2pm and 8pm. So, I was forced to stay back at the Abuja airport, as I could not go back into the city without my luggage.

By 10:00pm, there was yet another announcement indicating that the departure time for my flight had been moved again, this time to 11pm. Finally, my flight took off by 11:43pm and we arrived Lagos by 12:33am. I spent over an hour at the Murtala Mohammed Airport looking for my luggage which arrived Lagos in an earlier flight. I finally made it out of the arrival lounge and into an area where I could find a driver that would take me to Ikoyi. That took quite some time, as the few driver still at the airport all refused to go to Ikoyi out of concern for their safety. I finally found a driver who charged me N15,000 and I made it home by 3:00am.

In the end, I felt deeply hurt and humiliated by your staff in the manner they handle my trip. It was only later that I began to hear that the reason for delaying my flight for 8 hours was due to weather. I did not believe this to be the case because my luggage was flown to Lagos during the same time period that weather was said to have prevented all flights from Abuja to Lagos. I was compelled by my ordeal to post on my Facebook Forum, (Movement for Peaceful Change) the experience I had with your Airline. I was shocked by the reactions of the public to my post.

Upon investigation as to why I was not aware that my 4:25pm flight had been rescheduled, I discovered that indeed a message was sent to me by Air Peace. The message was sent by 2:17am on 27th of January stating that the 4:25pm flight on 27th January was being rescheduled to 6:25pm (different from 8:10pm I was told when I got to the airport). It is very dubious that Air Peace knew by 2:17am that there would be a weather problem by 4:25pm. Indeed, the 2:17am message stated: “Dear esteemed passenger, due to operational reasons, we regret to announce the time change in your flight programme. Flight 7135, Abuja to Lagos for today, 27th January, 2022 will now depart at 6:25pm. We truly regret the impact of this sudden time change on your travel plans. Please bear with us…” That shows dishonesty in the subsequent excuses of weather conditions. Essentially, Air Peace had its capricious and selfish reasons for changing the flight time, and it lied about it.

My best assessment of what happened was that Air Peace has a practice of booking passengers for flights without any commitment to the passengers’ preferred departure or arrival time. It gathers all those travelling on a particular day and a given city, and then begin to assign them to different flight schedules in a manner to ensure that each flight was as full as possible, regardless of the passengers’ preferred schedule. Air Peace passengers fly not when they want to fly, but when Air Peace wants them to fly. This is a very primitive and underhanded practice in airline booking. All those excuses about weather or operational reasons seem to be mere pretext to cover up this bizarre practice.

Whereas I had thought that what happened to me was an exceptional event, on the contrary, I was inundated with cries and complaints from other travelers who had similar or worse experience from Air Peace. The sheer number of these unhappy travelers and the agonizing tales they had to tell left a very profound impression on me. I became quite disturbed the more I realized the implications of what happened to me. I perceived a culture of impunity, not just within Air Peace, but equally, in the manner other airlines treated travelers. I was left with no choice than to seek redress in a court of law unless Air Peace would agree to the following demands: Related Posts

Atiku’s wife gives reasons for divorcing ex-vice president

I learnt how to do money rituals through Facebook, says Ogun…

(1) That Air Peace tender a public apology to its customers who have been similarly hurt and mistreated. Such apology should come from the top management of Air Peace. It should admit wrongdoing and show genuine remorse, and promise to improve. Air Peace has to understand that the people are not stupid. They did not buy the general weather excuse. It was too convenient for Air Peace to invoke that excuse whenever it liked, believing that the travelers wouldn’t know any better.

(2) That Air Peace agree to observe the following standards when dealing with customer complaints:

(a) Where a flight is delayed beyond 3 hours, Air Peace shall:
(i) offer the traveler the option of rebooking his flight to another day at no further fees or costs, or

(ii) rebook him in a flight with any other airline that is departing to his destination. Example: If an Air Peace flight originally scheduled for 2pm cannot take off by 5pm, Air Peace should place the affected passenger in, say, Dana flight to the person’s destination, without any additional fee from the passenger, or

(iii) offer the affected traveler a full refund of what he paid for the ticket.

NOTE: It is not fair that when an airline has an excuse to delay flights, it will be only the passenger that suffers it. The airline should bear the cost of such weather-induced delay. As it is now, Air Peace loses nothing if a delay keeps people at the airport for 10 hours. Air Peace still makes the profit it would have made if there was no such delay. So, Air Peace has no incentive to avoid delays because the affected passenger has absolutely no option than to wait or forfeit his ticket fee. But by refunding passengers their money, Air Peace will have an incentive to avoid delays. The passenger should not be the only person to lose each time there is a weather problem. The airline should bear that loss or at least share in it.

(3) Where Air Peace notices that there will be a delay need to reschedule a flight, it must notify the passenger honestly and reasonably.

(4) If, as a result of more than 3-hours delay, a passenger arrives at his destination airport after 10pm, Air Peace shall provide a vehicle to convey the person to his final destination or shall pay for a bed and breakfast for that person in a hotel near to the airport. Leaving a traveler stranded at the airport or risking his life trying to get home by midnight in such circumstance is wrong and unacceptable.

(5) Air Peace shall commit to providing further training for its staff that deal directly with customers to reduce the humiliation that passengers have reported to have endured in the hands of Air Peace staff.

(6) Air Peace shall commit to establishing its own claims department with capacity to effectively treat passenger complaints. At present, Air Peace complaint unit either does not exist or it is poorly staff and equipped. Hence, complaints are not attended to in an effective or responsive manner.

(7) If a passenger arrives at his destination other than his city of residence, while his luggage was left behind or mistakenly sent to a different destination, Air Peace shall offer a reasonable amount of money to enable the passenger to purchase toiletries and clothes to wear until his luggage arrives within a reasonable time, not longer than 48 hours.

(8) If a passenger’s luggage is lost by Air Peace, it shall make an offer to pay compensation for the lost luggage within two weeks.

(9) If a passenger mistakenly pays twice for the same ticket, Air Peace shall refund the excess payment within 24 hours.

(10) In the event that an altercation between a passenger and staff of Air Peace is video-recorded by the passenger or a third party, Air Peace shall treat such video recording as valid evidence that belongs to the owner or maker of the video recording, and not try to destroy such evidence.

All the above ten demands can be met in the initial stage by a public statement and declaration of principles and objectives by Air Peace management, and then followed up with concrete measures within a reasonable time.

We believe that Air Peace is the leader of the commercial aviation industry in Nigeria. It is in a strong position to implement these standards, and they will be followed by other airlines in Nigeria. Once there is a commitment to these reforms and improvements in standards of passenger treatment, We shall not proceed with litigation. However, if Air Peace rejects these demands, we shall be left with no option than to pursue a class action lawsuit against Air Peace. And for that purpose, we have commenced the process of preparing a register of victims of Air Peace. Thank you for your consideration of my letter.

Yours truly,

Brian Houston, Hillsong Church Founder, resigns amid sexual scandal that involves his late father

Hillsong Church founder, Brian Houston is temporarily stepping down from leading the megachurch as he prepares for his trial in Australia.

This is coming amid numerous scandals and an ongoing court case accusing Houston of hiding his late father’s sexual abuse of children, all of which the church has denied.

Houston said he’s resigning from “all ministry responsibilities” until the end of 2022, pending his legal battle over charges that he concealed child sex offenses committed by his late preacher father Frank Houston. Brian has repeatedly denied the allegations.

He wrote; 

“In September last year, I learned it was necessary for me to step aside as a director of all Hillsong boards during this season, enabling me to give attention to these charges.

“But recently, we made a decision that may come as a surprise to you, and I want you to hear it from me directly.”

The decision for Houston to “step aside completely” from the leadership of the multinational church he and wife Bobbie founded in 1983 came in December, at the recommendation of “Hillsong’s external legal counsel.” 

He added; 

“The court processes are likely to be drawn out and take up most of 2022 (especially considering the backlog in the courts, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic).

“We have talked about the effects of the situation with my father, which go back many years up to the current legal case, and the impact this has had on me emotionally. The result is that the Hillsong Global Board feel it is in my and the church’s best interest for this to happen, so I have agreed to step aside from all ministry responsibilities until the end of the year.”

65-year-old Bobbie who is not charged in the yearslong case, will “remain fully engaged in church life” during Brian’s “sabbatical,” as the couple’s daughter Laura Toggs referred to his resignation in an Instagram post.

“Police will allege in court the man knew information relating to the sexual abuse of a young male in the 1970s and failed to bring that information to the attention of police,” officials for Sydney’s Royal Commission on Institutional Leaders’ Handling of Sexual Abuse told publications upon charging Houston in August. The charges carry a maximum sentence of up to five years behind bars and followed a two-year investigation pf Brian’s father Frank Houston’s sexual abuse of Brett Sengstock, then 7 years old, in 1969 and 1970.

Frank — who died in 2004 at age 82 — “raped, choked and brutalized” Sengstock, then attempted to bribe him with $10,000 (AUD) — via a hand-scrawled contract on a McDonald’s napkin, Sengstock has stated. The payoff was allegedly sent as a check in the mail from Brian himself after Frank apparently failed to complete the agreed transaction, The Post previously reported.

Brian is charged with failing to turn over evidence concerning the crimes of his father, whose ministry career was functionally terminated after Brian sacked him in 1999, the Guardian reported in 2014.

Representatives for Hillsong have repeatedly denied claims that Brian Houston covered it up to The Post.

Hillsong, which has drawn the likes of Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Chris Pratt and Kylie Jenner as members, has faced several waves of controversy in recent years. Pastor Carl Lentz, Bieber’s one-time spiritual confidante, was fired in 2020 over “moral failures” amid reports he had multiple extramarital affairs. Pastor Darnell Barrett stepped down last April after sending explicit photos to at least one of his followers.

The church is the subject of Discovery+’s upcoming three-part docuseries Breaking Hillsong, which will explore the “headline-making world of global star-studded megachurch Hillsong and the downfall of its ultra-hip, celebrity senior pastor, Carl Lentz.”

Beijing: Free condoms given to athletes for 2022 Winter Olympics, no hugs and handshakes

Free condoms will be handed to athletes at next month’s Winter Olympics in Beijing, but competitors have been discouraged from shaking hands and hugging in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The International Olympics Committee revealed in the events playbook that athletes were required to minimise interaction, and stay within their ‘close loop’ due to worries over the spread of COVID-19.

The IOC playbook revealed the ‘closed loop’ had been introduced to ‘keep Games participants and the people of China safe through reducing unnecessary interactions’.

The playbook read: “A special system has been defined to keep Games participants and the people of China safe through reducing unnecessary interactions, while still allowing you to perform the day-to-day activities essential to your role during the Games.

“This closed loop system allows you to enter China without undergoing a compulsory 21-day quarantine, subject to you being fully vaccinated.”

The games are set to start on Friday, and athletes from all over the world will compete in 15 different sports until Feb. 20.

A report from Reuters however, has confirmed that athletes will all be distributed free condoms upon arrival, following an email from event officials.

The email read: “All Olympic-related units will provide appropriate quantities of condoms for free at the appropriate time to people who’ve checked in to stay inside the loop.”

Reuters also revealed that those included in the free distribution are the world’s media in Beijing to cover the Games, after journalists checking into Guizhou Hotel found five condoms in their room.

Free condoms at the event will come as no surprise to athletes and ‘closed loop’ Game goers, with the distribution first starting at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

NAPTIP in collaboration with the Indian police arrest female human trafficker and frees 3 Nigerian victims forced into prostitution

The joint operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), the New Delhi Police has arrested a notorious foreign-based alleged human trafficker, Joy Shandy Okah in a deliberate operation targeting big-time traffickers outside Nigeria.

The successful operation also led to the rescue of three Nigerian victims of forced prostitution (names withheld) in New Delhi, India.

Head, Press and Public Relations Unit, Stella Nezan. in a statement on Monday January 31, recalled that the Director-General, Dr Fatima Waziri – Azi, on the assumption of duties, had vowed to ensure that high profile human traffickers across the World were identified, arrested, prosecuted and the proceed of their ill-gotten wealth confiscated and forfeited as restitution to victims of trafficking.

Explaining how the operation was coordinated, the Head of the International and Intelligence Cooperation Unit of NAPTIP, Mrs Angela Agbayekhai, said the prompt directive and support from the Director-General greatly accounted for the success of the operation.

“On 12th December 2021, NAPTIP received an SOS via email from a Nigerian Minor-17 years old (names withheld) who was deceitfully trafficked from Nigeria for forced prostitution in India. She requested the intervention of the NAPTIP for her rescue and that of other Nigerian victims held captive and forced into the sex trade by one Joy Shandy Okah, a Nigerian based in India.

“NAPTIP networked with the Indian based NGO Vihaan-WMS through intelligence sharing, which resulted in the rescue of the three victims and arrest of their trafficker on at New Krishna Park near Well Pharmacy Vikaspuri, New Delhi – India.

“The victims were recruited from Edo, Delta and Rivers States, Nigeria and trafficked to India for sexual exploitation by Joy Shandy Okah ‘F’, and her accomplices. One of the victims travelled from Nigeria on 17th September 2021, while the other two arrived in India from Nigeria on 14th December 2021.

The victims were subjected to oath rituals in Nigeria before their eventual travel. The victims travelled with questionable Passports and Student Visas. They were eventually held captive in New Delhi by their trafficker, Joy Shandy Okah, who sponsored their trip to India.

“Their phones and travel documents were seized and they were forced into prostitution to pay up a debt of N4.5 Million naira each until their rescue on 6th January 2022.

“Joy Shandy is currently facing trial in an Indian Court since 7th January 2022 after her arrest and the victims who are currently in a safe house linked to Vihaan-WMS and assisting the authorities in this regard”, the Head of the Intelligence Unit of NAPTIP said.

Speaking on the development, Director General of NAPTIP, Dr Fatima Waziri-Azi, stated;

“I have directed that all persons linked with the recruitment, harbouring, trafficking and sexual exploitation of the three victims who are based in Nigeria, be identified, arrested and prosecuted.

“We shall take the appropriate legal step to ensure that such proceeds of crime are forfeited and use to assuage the pain inflicted on the victims.”

BREAKING: Manchester United sever ties from rape-accused Mason Greenwood

Manchester United fans are no longer able to buy Mason Greenwood merchandise on the club’s website following his arrest, The Sun reports.

Greenwood was brought into police custody on Sunday afternoon after his girlfriend Harriet Robson made public allegations of rape and assault. He has remained there for questioning ever since.

Prior to the arrest being confirmed by Greater Manchester Police, Manchester United had confirmed that Greenwood would not be allowed to attend training or participate in games until further notice.

The club are understood to have stopped short of suspending him, but as per The Sun, any trace of Greenwood on the Man United official website has now been removed. Related Posts

Man United supporters are no longer able to order shirts with Greenwood’s name and number on the back, nor any other Greenwood-branded merchandise.

Though his guilt is yet to be determined, it’s not a good look for a global brand like Man United to be associated with a player accused of rape and assault.

Man United appear to have taken swift action to, at least temporarily, cut ties with Greenwood until the police investigation results in charges or a release.

Frank Lampard, ex. Chelsea Boss, confirmed as Everton’s new manager

Everton have appointed Frank Lampard as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract to replace the sacked Rafael Benitez.

Lampard, who arrived at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground on Monday January 31, where he was expected to take first-team training for the first time, said: “It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club.

“I’m very hungry to get started. After speaking to the owner, chairman and the board, I very much felt their passion and ambition. I hope they felt my ambition and how hard I want to work to bring it together.

“You can feel the passion Everton fans have for their club. That will be hugely important. As a team – the competitive level that the Premier League brings and the position we are in the table – we certainly need that. It’s a two-way thing.

Former Chelsea boss, Frank Lampard confirmed as Everton

“I think Everton is a unique club in that you can really understand what the fans want to see. The first thing they want is fight and desire and that must always be our baseline.

“My first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We’ll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us.”

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri said: “I am really delighted that Frank has joined us. He is an impressive young man on and off the pitch. He has played at the very highest level of the game and has football in his blood.

“He impressed us all greatly during the thorough interview process and we’re all ready to give him all of our support as he looks to give the team an immediate boost.”

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright added: “Frank impressed us greatly throughout our process, coming across as a modern, ambitious and exciting young manager. He expressed a clear vision on how he wants to take the club forward and, importantly, a tremendous passion and genuine enthusiasm to join us.

“I’m sure Evertonians will give him the special welcome that only they can and will be looking forward to giving him and his coaching staff a warm Goodison welcome next weekend.”

Lampard takes over at Goodison Park with Everton currently 16th in the Premier League table and only four points above the relegation zone.

His first game in charge will be the FA Cup fourth round tie at home against Brentford on February 5, before a crucial Premier League fixture away at relegation rivals Newcastle United follows three days later.

JAMB postphones 2022 UTME to May 6 and adds 2 additional subjects

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for the conduct of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

In its weekly bulletin released on Monday, January 31,, the UTME exercise initially scheduled for April 20 to 30,  would now hold as from Friday, May 6 to Monday, May 16. Similarly, the mock-UTME exercise earlier scheduled for April 2, would now be held on April 16.

However, JAMB said the date for the commencement of the sale of the 2022 UTME/DE application forms fixed for February 12 to March 19 remains.

It explained that the adjustments were meant to accommodate the interest of candidates who would be sitting for the UTME and others external examinations in April to ensure they were not caught in a conflict of dates that could see them missing any of their examinations.

The board also said it has introduced Computer Studies and Physical and Health Education as part of  its UTME subjects for 2022. It also said it would adopt an optional USSD code to enable candidates seamlessly register for the 2022 UTME without much stress or difficulty.

***************************

Computer Studies and Physical and Health Education are the latest subjects to be added to the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). 

The exam body’s Director of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin told newsmen that the candidates sitting for the UTME can now pick Computer Studies or Physical and Health Education as part of the four required UTME subjects, if they so desire or as dictated by their programme preferences.

Addition of the two subjects to the existing 23 UTME subjects would be effective from the 2022 UTME exercise.

“Everton have completed the signing of midfielder Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur on a two-and-a-half-year contract until the end of June 2024,” Everton confirmed on the club’s official website on Tuesday morning, February 1.


“The England international, who played 269 times and scored 67 goals for Spurs after joining in February 2015, is new Everton manager Frank Lampard’s first permanent addition – following a loan move for Donny van de Beek from Manchester United on the final day of the January transfer window.”

The deal that takes Alli from north London to the North West will initially be a free transfer, with the Toffees paying £10m once he has made 20 appearances.

He has signed a two-and-a-half-year agreement, taking him through to the summer of 2024.

Mali’s military Govt. expels its French ambassador – he has 3 days to leave the country

Mali’s military leaders have expelled the French ambassador to the country over what they called “outrageous” comments made by the French foreign minister about the transitional government.


Relations between France and Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa which is one of the world’s poorest nations, have deteriorated since the army seized power in August 2020.

Tensions increased further this month when the military junta reversed an agreement to arrange elections in February and vowed to hold power until 2025.

French ambassador  

Tensions continue to mount in recent weeks as Mali’s interim president, Col Assimi Goïta, solidified his control and showed reluctance to uphold international agreements.


The French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, said last week that Mali’s leadership was “illegitimate and takes irresponsible measures”.


The Malian government summoned the French ambassador, Joël Meyer, on Monday, January 31 and said he had 72 hours to leave the country, according to a Malian government statement announced on state television.

“This measure follows the hostile and outrageous comments made recently by the French minister of Europe and foreign affairs and the recurrence of such comments by the French authorities with regard to the Malian authorities, despite repeated protests,” the statement said

 The statement did not specify which comments it was referring to.

This latest episode in the diplomatic crisis between Mali and its foreign partners comes days after the Malian government ordered Danish soldiers deployed in the French-led Takuba military operation to leave. The representative for the Economic Community of West African States was also expelled from the country earlier this month after sanctions were imposed on Mali.

French Defence Minister Florence Parly accused Mali’s rulers of stepping up “provocations” against his country.

Western powers are also concerned about Russia’s growing involvement in the former French colony.

Moscow reportedly sent military advisors in recent weeks to bolster local security forces in their fight with jihadist insurgents. Unconfirmed reports say hundreds of Russian mercenaries are also operating in the country.

France, which intervened in 2013 to support the government against the jihadists, plans to reduce its own troop deployment.

France stepped in in 2013 after Islamist militants overran parts of the north. With the help of France, Mali’s army has recaptured the territory, but militants are waging an increasingly bloody insurgency across the Sahel region.

North Korea Launches the most Powerful Missile Since 2017

North Korea on Sunday tested its most powerful missile since 2017, ramping up the firepower for its record-breaking seventh launch this month as Seoul warned nuclear and long-range tests could be next, Tori Media reports.

Pyongyang has never test-fired this many missiles in a calendar month before and last week threatened to abandon a nearly five-year-long self-imposed moratorium on testing long-range and nuclear weapons, blaming US “hostile” policy for forcing its hand.

With peace talks with Washington stalled, North Korea has doubled-down on leader Kim Jong Un’s vow to modernise the regime’s armed forces, flexing Pyongyang’s military muscles despite biting international sanctions.

South Korea said Sunday that North Korea appeared to be following a “similar pattern” to 2017 — when tensions were last at breaking point on the peninsula — warning Pyongyang could soon restart nuclear and intercontinental missile tests.

North Korea “has come close to destroying the moratorium declaration”, South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said in a statement following an emergency meeting of Seoul’s National Security Council.

South Korea’s military said Sunday it had “detected an intermediate-range ballistic missile fired at a lofted angle eastward towards the East Sea.”

When interviewed, they claimed the drugs were being taken to Bagira town along Nigeria-Cameroon border to be delivered to some Cameroonians for onward delivery to Maroa in Cameroon.

This comes on the heels of a similar operation at Alaba Rago area of Lagos where operatives of the state command of the Agency intercepted 1,200 parcels of imported Loud, a strong variant of cannabis suspected to have been smuggled into the state from a neighbouring country with a total weight of 1,229 kilograms.

In another raid on Wednesday 26th Jan, at Suru Alaba, Ajeromi-Ifelodun LGA, Lagos, operatives arrested one Ibrahim Musa, 25, with 18,530 tablets of Tramadol, Rohynol, Diazepam, Exol-5, and 138 bottles of Codeine.

At the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja Lagos, operatives at the SAHCO export shed of the airport during their routine cargo search intercepted a consignment of 22 international passports of six different countries concealed in a bag of Gari among other food items.

Nine of the passports were three each of UK, France and Portugal, while the rest were: Nigeria -8; Ghana -4 and Cameroon -1. Also at the airport, operatives equally recovered 12 parcels of cannabis weighing 4.95kg concealed in a carton of Golden Morn packaged for export through the SAHCO export shed.

A similar raid on Friday of a notorious drug joint, Bakin Kogi Ringim, Jigawa state led to the recovery of different quantities of Cannabis, Diazepam, Exol-5 and some new psychoactive substances with a total weight of 8.680kg as well as weapons such as knives, cutlasses, Gora sticks, catapults and charms.

In Edo state, operatives recovered 19 bags of cannabis weighing 144.10kg stored in the bush along Uromi Road, Esan North East LGA ready to be transported to other parts of the country, while eight bags of the same substance weighing 111kg were recovered from a bush at Iruekpen, Esan West LGA.

Chairman of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa  has commended officers and men of Lagos, MMIA, Adamawa, Plateau and Edo commands of the Agency for their tenacity and vigilance.

British singer, Adele is ‘trying to save her relationship’ with boyfriend Rich Paul as it goes ‘sour’

British singer, Adele is reportedly been trying to save her relationship with her millionaire sports agent boyfriend Rich Paul, after their time apart hugely strained it.

British tabloid, The Sun reported that the singer spent the past week holed at her boyfriend’s home after they struggled to see each other in recent weeks. 

While Rich Paul has been travelling for work, Adele has been in Las Vegas for her residency. Sources told the publication over the weekend that there’s “trouble in paradise” for the couple amid claims she cancelled her Weekends With Adele shows because of problems in their relationship.

Adele had earlier said set issues, production delays and key team members contracting Covid meant the show “ain’t ready”, which led to her scrapping the 24-date residency.

The source said; 

“Adele is staying at Rich’s house in Beverly Hills just trying to fix their relationship because things have become strained.

“They barely saw each other at the beginning of the month because he was away for work and she was trying to focus on the Vegas show.

“She was upset he couldn’t be there with her when things started falling apart with the residency and it made things difficult for them both. She needed him there, but he couldn’t because he has his own busy career too.

“It was a very emotional and stressful time for her. Now they are spending some quality time together to try to save things.

“They really like each other but it’s been a tough few weeks.”

It was previously claimed Adele was heard “shouting and sobbing” on the phone to Rich during rehearsals.

Rich, 40, is her first public relationship since divorcing entrepreneur Simon Konecki, the father of her nine-year-old son Angelo, in 2019. The couple were first spotted together at a basketball game in July 2021.

Thai man yanks off his pen!s with scissors after using smoking cannabis

A man cut off his penis as he suffered a psychotic episode after smoking cannabis, a new medical case study has revealed.


According to the case study report published by the Journal of Medical Case Reports, the individual, aged 23, from Thailand, had used cannabis for two years before quitting the habit.


Three months later, he smoked 2g of cannabis and experienced an erection two hours later, without any form of sexual stimulation.

He reportedly started feeling a severe persistent sharp pain in his penis, and said his glans looked distorted.


The man, thinking he could stop the pain, decided to trim the glans penis several times using scissors – but then completely amputated his penis.


Two hours after, the bleeding had not stopped and the man had to be rushed to hospital.


Doctors believed the penis was too damaged to save and all the dead skin and flesh has been removed.


The doctors said the amputated part was contaminated with ants, while the remaining stump was 2 cm in length.


‘After admission and cannabis discontinuation, his delusion and hallucination subsided’, the report said.

The report stated that cannabis-induced psychosis was diagnosed because symptoms began after cannabis use, without evidence of other substance abuse.


Lead author of the study,  Nantanan Jengsuebsant, from the Department of Emergency Medicine, noted cannabis has been widely used around the world for medical and recreational purposes but the man’s experience was a rare case.


Cannabis does exhibits many adverse effects, including psychosis, the report added.


The research team concluded: ‘Cannabis-induced psychosis is an adverse effect of cannabis, which may lead to impaired judgement unexpected self-harm.’

Kanye West reportedly sad after finding out Drake used to sleep with Julia Fox

Kanye West is reportedly not happy after finding out that his current flame, Julia Fox used to have sexual relations with his hiphop rival, Drake.


 Kanye and Fox are currently in Paris, as they attend Fashion Week.


They both started dating at the end of last year after Kanye made public call outs to estranged wife, Kim Kardashian urging her to stop divorce proceedings and leave her boyfriend, Pete Davison. 


However, according to gossip site, Page Six,  before dating Ye, Julia had dated his former nemesis, Drake.


Drake reportedly had a relationship with Kim, but Kanye said Drake denied it in their conversations while Kim has also refuted the rumors.

According to Page Six, sources say Fox, 31, has told West, 44, about her “Hotline Fling” with his rival Drake — who showered her with gifts including two Birkin bags — and that Ye is not thrilled about it.

The report says Drake first reached out to Fox via an Instagram DM to compliment her on her role in the 2019 Adam Sandler drama, “Uncut Gems.”

Drake then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tricking off on the actress. He showed up to Bloomingdale’s — where Fox was doing a promotional gig — the next day to visit her at work.

“They closed down the store so he could visit,” said a source.

“The smitten pair continued their whirlwind romance when Fox flew to Los Angeles a few days after Valentine’s Day, where Drake gave her two of the famed Birkin bags, which cost from $20,000 up to $500,000.

“And it worked. The Caucasian actress went to Drake’s Toronto castle, where she stayed for weeks and the two huddled together at the beginning of 2020, until Covid broke out.” the source added

Kanye West was reportedly upset after learning about Julia’s dating past.

Victor Osimhen being wooed by Arsenal in a bid to strengthen their attack

Arsenal are reportedly eager to sign Super Eagles and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen after missing out on Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic.

Mikel Arteta has been keen to recruit a new attacker in this window with the club set to do away with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after being exiled by his coach. 

With Vlahovic on the market, Arsenal were said to be willing to pay the hefty €75m (£62m) asking price for the ace, although he has now agreed terms to join Juventus. 

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal could make a £60million summer swoop for the Nigerian.

Osimhen has scored nine goals in 16 competitive matches for Napoli this campaign, adding to his 10-goal haul from the previous year.

His club splashed out a remarkable €80m (£66m) to sign him from Lille in 2020, and they look set to take a minor hit on that initial fee if they are to offload him.

“Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson has AIDS” – Kanye West alleges

Rapper Kanye West is allegedly spreading rumor that his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson has AIDS. 

TMZ reported that the false rumor has gotten back to Pete and people close to Kanye are denying it.

Sources close to Davidson confirm what DJ Akademiks claimed earlier this week, “Kanye’s been telling everybody within earshot” that Pete has AIDS.

The outlet also reported that Kanye’s claim has led to a handful of awkward phone calls between Pete and mutual friends he has with Kanye, and they are confused and disturbed by the childish behavior.

It was also noted that Kanye’s brutal diss track, where he raps, “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass”,  didn’t come as much of a surprise to their friends as he’s been known to take shots in song.

Those close to Pete are also disturbed that Kanye would allegedly use such a serious health issue to try and lash out at Pete.

A source close to Ye has however said that allegation of spreading the rumor is “nonsense.”

QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD HUSBAND

Here are some characteristics and qualities that every good one-wife husband has:

  1. Passionate
    A good husband is not just passionate when it comes to the physical aspect of marriage, but he is also passionate about small things. Women really appreciate men who take the efforts to like things that she does or who support them in their hobbies and passions. This is the basic quality of a good husband.
  2. Trustworthy
    A man who loves his wife makes sure that she trusts him. He never gives his wife a chance to doubt him or feel insecure. If you love your wife, be sure never to give her any reason not to trust you. Let her know that she can trust you with anything.
  3. He is there for His Kids
    A good husband loves his kids. Although it might be difficult for you to play with your kids after coming from work, but if you love your kids you will do it. By having fun with children you make your wife believe that you are in this together. And she will take pride in you that you because you are a good father.
  4. Compassionate
    A man who can feel for others is very appealing to women, so be a compassionate man and show you care. It can be towards your wife and others as well. The more compassion you show, the more of a hero you will look like to her.
  5. Compromising
    Marriage is hard work and sometimes the two of will not want to agree on a specific course of action. But a man who wants to make his relationship work is ready to compromise. There will be times when your wife may sacrifice her own position to make you happy, so you should learn to be able to compromise and come up with solutions that the both of you can agree on.
  6. Loyal
    A good husband is loyal to his wife. He never lets her feel that she is not good enough for him. If you love your wife, be loyal to her. Don’t ever make her feel that you are not true to her, else it will break her heart.
  7. Honest
    An honest man makes for a wonderful husband. Telling your wife the truth, not hiding things from her and involving her in every aspect of your life will earn her trust and will ensure that you gain respect and honesty right back from her.
  8. Dependable
    If you say you will do something, do it. If she needs you to do something for her, do your best, even if you have no idea what you are doing. If she can depend on you to be there to support her when she needs you, she will feel a lot more secure and loved in your relationship than if she cannot depend on your for anything. This is especially important when you are going to have a baby as being dependable is how to be a good husband during pregnancy. She will need you the most when she is carrying your baby.
  9. Indulgent
    Women and children have one thing in common; they love a good pampering. And a good husband knows how to pamper her. Indulging your wife in the things she loves will make her see just how much you care about her. It will win you some points with her, and she is sure to indulge you in the things that you love as well.
  10. Humorous
    Women are more drawn to men who can make them laugh. A good man knows how to keep his wife and what to say to cheer his wife when she is feeling low. If you also want to keep your wife happy at all times, bring some humour in your life. Make your wife laugh now and then, she will love you dearly.
  11. Chivalrous
    Some women like to act too independent and tough for the likes of men, but most women would give anything to be with a gentleman. Carry the bags for her, open doors for her and pull out her chair at the restaurant on date night. It makes a difference to a woman when she is treated like a lady.
  12. Respectful
    A good husband respects his wife and her opinions and beliefs. Understanding, accepting and respecting the fact that your wife is still a separate being than you, who had different ideas, dreams, and opinions, is important in a marriage. You must respect your wife’s wishes and her needs. Don’t force her to give up on her own dreams to follow yours, but talk things out and see what works for both of you.
  13. Selfless
    A man who loves his wife is also selfless. Loving another person is the most selfless thing anyone can do. When you really love someone, you put them first. This is a big difference between love and infatuation. A husband who loves his wife will be able to celebrate her successes. Some men find the success of their wives to be a very bitter pill to swallow as they always expect that their own success should come first. Don’t be that guy.
  14. Active
    A good husband is active and he helps his wife at home too. It becomes hard for a woman of today to balance work and home. But a good husband helps his wife in housework. As her husband, it would help her out so much if you were more active in the home, cleaning up after yourself and helping out with some of the chores. So, if you love your wife, help her too.
  15. Decisive
    A good man is decisive. He knows what he has to do. A good man considers his wife’s opinions and values his own opinions and takes the right decision for the family. Do not be the type of man who cannot make a decision as that is not a good quality to have.
  16. Believes in Who He Is
    A good man and good husband never shies away in being himself. If you love your wife, be who you really are. It may seem like there are so many things that you need to work on, but for the most part, be yourself. You don’t need to fake anything or make up stories to impress her. She loves you for who you are, and there is no need to pretend to be like anybody else.
  17. Good Team Player
    A good husband is also a team player. As a husband, you must realise that you and your wife are a team. Being a good team player is vital in a marriage. It is not always about you, but you need to think about another person as well. When you have children, this becomes all the more important. Never undermine her decisions in front of your children, but talk to her in private if you don’t agree with something she did. Showing your children that the two of you are a team will prevent them from trying to take advantage of the situation and will teach them what a real relationship is like between man and woman.
  18. Mindful
    A good husband is mindful. He remembers the important days of his life. Men usually forget important dates, so if you are that type of man, do something to help you remember all the important dates. Set reminders for the important birthdays, anniversaries and other big events that you need to be aware of. Your wife may not have the time to remind you of everything.
  19. Kind
    Kindness in a man is a very appealing quality to women. She will know that you will never hurt her and that you will always do what is best for her and your family. Kindness towards others will certainly make your wife so proud of you that you may find her bragging about it to all her friends.
  20. Never Judges
    A good man never judges his wife for her flaws. The golden rule in all marriages is that you need to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes to know what they are going through before you judge them. Your wife may have done something that you don’t agree with, but if you stop and show understanding by applying the golden rule, you will be able to talk it out with her and come to an agreeable solution.

You should always treat your spouse the way that you want to be treated, i.e., with love and respect. A happy marriage takes quite a bit of work from both the partners. We hope that the above tips will help you play your part to make your marriage a happy one.

Dusan Vlahovic signs up for £62m with Juventus

Dusan Vlahovic has finally completed his £62million move from Fiorentina to Juventus after successfully undergoing a medical in Turin, and rejecting a move to Arsenal. 

The 21-year-old, who had been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal before opting to remain in Italy,  put pen to paper on his Juventus deal to end rumors after a host of interest in his signature. 

Vlahovic agreed on personal terms with Juventus earlier this week, having scored 20 goals in 24 matches for Fiorentina this season.

After clinching the coveted signing, Juventus gave their new man a glowing report, saying: ‘It would be reductive to describe Dusan as simply a force of nature. In addition to his physical prowess, he displays outstanding technique, power, class, and all-importantly, a clinical coldness in front of goal. 

A penalty box predator, 93% of his goals in Serie A, 41 out of 44, were scored from inside the penalty area, and already this campaign, he is the player who has attempted most shots, 75.

‘These are numbers of this lethal striker. These are numbers to be updated together, game after game.’

“TOILET PAPER ARE HARMFUL FOR YOUR ANUS” – Medical Doctor Opines

Nigerian medical personnel, Dr. Olufunmilayo, has warned against the use of toilet rolls to cleanup whenever one passes excreta.

In a thread shared on his Twitter handle, Dr Olufunmilayo opined that toilet rolls are harmful to the anus. He said instead of using Tissue paper, people should use soap and water or wet towels to clean up whenever they use the restroom.

His thread reads;

”NEVER use toilet-roll after you shit. NEVER use toilet-roll after you shit. Can tear your anus, Waste of time/money, Leaves your anus dirty and smelly, Can give you urine infection, Stains your pant/boxers with shit. TOILET ROLLS ARE HARMFUL FOR YOUR ANUS

The real problem with a toilet roll is that it actually does NOT clean your anus properly. What a toilet roll does is to take off the top shit and smear the rest of the shit across your anus (and anus hair if you have some). This left over shit can cause you medical problems.

So what’s the BEST way to clean your anus after you shit? Use soap and water! Washing your anus with soap and water after you shit remains the MOST EFFECTIVE way of cleaning. If no soap (or time), The next best way is to use water only. If no soap and water, Use wet wipes.

If you use toilet at work, Or you may use a public toilet where getting soap and water may not be available, may waste time or the water may be too dirty, Use wet wipes. Wet wipes are your best bet in that situation. Always carry wet wipes in your bag or car. That’s the advice.

So why is toilet roll very bad for you? 1. Toiletroll if you use it too hard because you want to “clean well”, it can tear your anus (medically called anal fissures). This can cause you very serious pain and bleeding when next you poo and open up your anus area up for infection.

2. Toilet roll if you use it softly because you don’t want to hurt your anus, will leave leftover shit in your anus area which would make you have a smelly dirty itchy bottom that stains your underwear. This is why many of you are always itching your bumbum- but you don’t know.

3. For women: if you use toilet roll and you wipe from back to front- you are at risk of introducing bacteria inside the shit into your vagina area and this can cause urine infections. This is why after a while you notice you start to have lower tummy pain and pain when you pee.

4. So in conclusion, Toilet rolls are a waste of time, waste of money and a health hazard for you if you use them after you shit. They will cause you harm and they actually do a very poor job of cleaning your anus. NEVER use toilet rolls after you shit. They are bad for you.

There’s NOTHING posh about toiletrolls. There’s NOTHING classy about toiletrolls. I’m emphasising this for those who have been blackmailed into thinking washing your anus with water after you shit is “ghetto” or not classy. Using a toilet roll after you shit is the real ghetto.

Please after you shit: Wash your anus with soap and water, if you can and if you have the means. Or Wash with water alone Or use wet wipes- if in a hurry and there’s no soap or water. Please NEVER use toilet rolls after you shit. You are harming yourself and wasting your money.”

“Lionel Messi is suffering from effect of Covid” as he had the ‘roughest variant –

Argentina coach reveals 

Argentina coach, Lionel Scaloni has revealed that Lionel Messi is still suffering from the effects of having Covid, after he contracted the ‘roughest variant’ during the winter break.

PSG superstar Messi has played just once this year after getting infected last month, making his return in the 4-0 win over Reims last weekend.

However, Messi was not called up for Argentina’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers with Chile and Colombia due to the fact that he was still not 100 percent fully recovered from the virus, according to Scaloni.

‘I talked to (Messi) after he tested positive for COVID,’ Scaloni told a press conference on Wednesday. ‘It affected him a lot, he had the roughest variant.

‘It is important that he recovers, feels fit because there will be important moments ahead. I felt that it was not ideal for him to joins us [on international duty this weekend] not being at 100 per cent. He was affected for a some time.’ 

Scaloni told reporters that his assistants Walter Samuel and Roberto Ayala will be in charge for the match. Argentina has already secured a spot at the tournament in Qatar, while Chile is still in contention.

‘I am well, recovered. But the PCR remains positive,’ Scaloni added.

Brazil and Argentina have both qualified for the World Cup, with two more automatic spots up for grabs in South American qualifying. 

The fifth-place team advances to a playoff against an Asian opponent. Only last-place Venezuela, with seven points, is out of contention.

US Govt bans China Unicom over espionage concerns

The United States has banned Chinese telecoms giant, China Unicom from operating in the country over “significant” national security and espionage concerns.

The firm must stop providing telecoms services in America within 60 days.


The announcement comes after another Chinese company, China Telecom, had its licence to operate in the US revoked in October.

 
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said it had voted unanimously to revoke authorisation for the company’s American unit to operate in the US.


FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement: “There has been mounting evidence – and with it, a growing concern – that Chinese state-owned carriers pose a real threat to the security of our telecommunications networks.”


Responding, China Unicom said its American unit “has a good record of complying with relevant US laws and regulations and providing telecommunication services and solutions as a reliable partner of its customers in the past two decades”.


“China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited will closely follow the development of the situation,” it added.

Chinese technology and telecoms companies, have been targeted in recent years by US authorities over national security concerns.

In November, President Joe Biden signed a new legislation that stops companies judged to be a security threat from receiving new telecoms equipment licences.


Under the new law called the Secure Equipment Act, the FCC should no longer review applications from companies the US see as a threat.

The law means that equipments from Huawei, ZTE and three other Chinese companies cannot be used in US telecoms networks.


According to the Pentagon, some of the Chinese firms are helping develop the Chinese military’s quantum computing programme.


US officials said the Chinese government’s control of the company gave it the opportunity “to access, store, disrupt, and/or misroute US communications”.


This in turn could allow it “to engage in espionage and other harmful activities against the US”, they said.

Afghans families now selling their Kidneys to survive under Taliban rule

Starving families in Afghanistan are not only selling children, but have now been pushed into sell their organs to survive.

Thousands of US and UK troops pulled out of the South Asian country in August after a 20-year-long military mission, paving the way for a violent takeover from the Taliban.

Six months into the new regime, the economy has been ‘paralysed’, and over half a million people have lost their jobs, forcing many to sell their kidneys and even their children.

One family, including three brothers and two sisters, all underwent surgery and sold their organs for around £1,150 each in order to feed their relatives. 

Afghans now selling their Kidneys to survive under Taliban rule

In a heartbreaking interview with Sky News, a 25-year-old mother, from a village outside the city of Herat, in the western part of the country, said: ‘About six months ago, my three-year-old son died of hunger.

‘I cannot see them all lose their lives… at least this way, someone else will feed them.’

Both she and her husband have already sold their kidneys and are now facing the unthinkable choice of which of their eight children to sell.

He said: ‘We have nothing left to sell. We have to sell our children now and I’m prepared to do this for even 20,000 Afghanis (about £150 or $200).

Afghans now selling their Kidneys to survive under Taliban rule

‘I can’t go to sleep every night with them crying that they are hungry.’

A growing number of Afghans are also selling their kidneys as it is the only way to meet basic food needs.

Harrowing photographs taken in a small village community outside Herat show rows of men and women showing large scars on their abdomens from the painful surgeries. Many of them have had to sell their organs to buyers across the border in Iran in an effort to repay their mounting debts.

One teenage mother, who said she had been operated on about a month ago, said: ‘We have no choice. We do this to feed our children.’

More than half of the country’s estimated 40 million population faces ‘extreme levels of hunger, and nearly nine million of them are at risk of famine’, according to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.

International funding to Afghanistan has been suspended and billions of dollars of the country’s assets abroad, mostly in the US, were frozen after the militants regained control of the government.

Ramin Behzad, of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for Afghanistan stressed the situation is ‘critical and immediate support for stabilisation and recovery is required’.

He continued: ‘While the priority is to meet immediate humanitarian needs, lasting and inclusive recovery will depend on people and communities having access to decent employment, livelihoods, and basic services.’

ILO also expects that by the middle of this year, job losses will increase to nearly 700,000.

Kid saves the whole family from fire by waking his parents who lost their sense of smell from COVID-19

A 2-year-old boy has been praised as a hero after saving his family from fire by waking his parents who were unaware of the smoke because they had lost their sense smell due to the coronavirus, in the middle of the night.

Nathan, 33, and Kayla Dahl, 28, who lost their sense of smell and taste after suffering from Covid-19,  did not wake to the smell of smoke and their fire alarms did not go off. 

Their son Brandon who was sleeping in the living room, woke to the smoke and flames and got his mother to wake up.

Kayla told Good Morning America; 

‘He tapped me on my feet in bed and was coughing and saying, “Mama, hot. Mama, hot.

 ‘I turned around. I looked and all I saw was flames in the doorway.’

The parents quickly woke up and got their five children out of the burning home. ‘She’s screaming, “Fire! Fire! Fire!”‘ Nathan said. ‘My initial thought was, “OK, I’m going to get up and I’m going to get to work.”‘

He added: ‘We had seconds. It’s nothing short of a miracle.’ A volunteer firefighter for six years, Nathan had taught his children what to do in the event of a fire, in particular not touch anything while trying to escape.

The father said that none of the smoke alarms in their home in Alvord, Texas, sounded.

Nathan told WFAA; 

‘We had brand new, less than a year old, smoke alarms in our house. None of them went off.’

Once outside, the family watched the inferno destroy their home, as well as their two cars. Nathan said; 

‘About maybe a minute after we got out of the house, our front door had flames coming out of it.

‘Everything was in flames.’

Kayla lamented that ‘everything was gone’ inside her home and that she lost her car. But she was grateful for her young son’s heroic act.

She said; 

‘Brandon saved us.

‘He saved our entire family. I mean, he’s our little mini hero.’
