European union chiefs shows the british government the back door root..

BREAKING: EU chiefs say Britain must leave 'as soon as possible' Today, 12:40 PMPublished Date: Today, 12:40 PM AFPSource: AFP Brussels - EU chiefs told Britain to start negotiations to quit the bloc "as soon as possible", after outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday he would leave the negotiations to his successor. "We now expect the United Kingdom government to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be," said a joint statement after Britons voted for a Brexit. "Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty." The statement was issued by EU president Donald Tusk, European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, EU Parliament leader Martin Schulz and Dutch premier Mark Rutte, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, after crisis talks in Brussels. Cameron announced he would step down to make way for a new leader by October, adding that the new pri

Anger management tips

Do you know how your anger starts, do you know what gave raise to your immediate reaction Anger often starts as something small and builds up to a rage. You’re impatient over a perceived irritating act done to you, which in flits a recurring nuisance or annoyance in your heart.  Irritation grows as you give more and more significance to a situation, perhaps only a minor incident, but it leads to a judgment and then to blame. You take it personally, feel wronged. Now you’re angry and you feel justified, but justified or not the anger causes incoherence in your heart rhythms and activates stress hormones. Research has shown one five-minute episode of anger is so stressful it impairs your immune system for more than six hours. Do you know u can manage your anger ?think of this when ever you are raged. 1. change expectations Since anger arises from failed expectations, changing expectations follows as a natural remedy to bypass the anger alley. That implies being flexible enough to ch

Militancy ; A new militant group has emerge

Our president should better sit up and stop deceiving him self ,now a  New militant group HSA emerge ,and has set to blow up River Niger, 3rd mainland bridge if PMB doesn’t do this 24/06/2016 7:27 A new militant group known as Asawana Deadly Force of Niger Delta (ADFND) has emerged, in South-South with some disturbing threats. According to the new militant group, it will cripple the oil industry across the nine Niger Delta states unless the federal government grants them, “Niger Delta Republic in the next couple of days,” Vanguard reports. File photo of militants The group in a statement by its leader, Commander Olomubini Kakarakokoro, a.k.a No Mercy, said: “Except our demand for Niger Delta Republic is granted, without further notice to the federal government, we shall proceed to bomb Bonga field flow station, Asaba- Onistha Bridge, Third Mainland Bridge and other major bridges in the Southtern part of the country, just for a start. “The federal government should as a matter o

Fayose’s aide bombs Femi Falana, find out why 23/06/2016 11:47 – Lere Olayinka, an aide to governor Fayose says Femi Falana is misleading EFCC because of his governorship ambition – Olayinka said Falana is always out to defend any position that satisfied his selfish desire Lere Olayinka , the special assistant to governor Fayose on public communications and new media Special assistant to the ekiti state governor on public communications and new media, Lere Olayinka has described human rights activist and lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) as a mischievous lawyer, who is always out to defend any position that satisfied his selfish desire. Olayinka said: “Falana is only deceiving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Governor Ayodele Fayose’s matter because of his ambition to contest the Ekiti State Governorship election in 2018, thinking that he can achieve what he used the EFCC to achieve against Governor Fayose in 2006 ten years after.” Olayinka, who reacted to Falana’s position supporting EFCC freezing of governor Fayose’s bank account, said it was shameful that a lawyer of Falana’s standing could say that EFCC was empowered to freeze Nigerians bank accounts and secure court orders later. He said; “Even though this comment coming from Femi Falana ought to have been ignored like we have always done because his hypocrisy has become so legendary that he should no longer be taken seriously by sane minds,  it was shameful that Falana, a Senior Associate Nigeria (SAN) could say that EFCC can freeze Nigerians bank accounts and obtain a court order later even when Section 34 of the EFCC Act provided that a court order must be obtained (ex-parte) and made available to the bank manager before a bank account can be frozen.” READ ALSO: Fayose exposes Aisha Buhari’s role in Jefferson bribery scandal The governor’s spokesperson said further; “Court Order is a condition precedent before a bank account can be frozen and Section 34 of the EFCC Act is very clear on this. It is unambiguous. It presupposes that EFCC cannot freeze the bank account of any Nigerian, no matter the status without first obtaining a court order and making same available to the bank manager. “This position was also expressed by Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday when he ordered the EFCC to pay N12.5 million damages to the son of former Governor Murtala Nyako  Senator Abdulaziz Nyako for un­lawful freezing of his account and illegal detention. “It is therefore strange that a SAN could tell Nigerians that EFCC can carry out an action first and obtain court order to justify the action later. “If I may ask, was Falana called to the Bar before he attended Law School and passed his Call-To-Bar Exams? Was Falana’s LLB Certificate given to him before he got admission to the University?  Was Falana’s BL Certificate issued to him before he attended the Law School?  Was Falana’s Birth Certificate issued before he was born? Was Falana’s Marriage Certificate issued before he got married? Has Falana ever travelled to UK or USA and obtained Visa later? Can I, Lere Olayinka, because I can now quote some laws begin to practice as a lawyer and go to University to study law later? Lere Olayinka , the special assistant to governor Fayose on public communications and new media “Obviously, opinions of lawyers like Femi Falana are better left in the trash cans and Nigerians should begin to thank God that he was not made Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. “It is also important to tell Falana to seek the face of the Lord for forgiveness of his sins against Ekiti and Governor Fayose in particular, because it appears God deliberately frustrated his bid to be appointed Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice because of what he would have used the position for. READ ALSO: Nigerians criticise EFCC over freezing Fayose’s account “For instance, over ten Ekiti indigenes were murdered during the APC government of Dr Kayode Fayemi, Falana kept silent. He also kept silent when the future of Ekiti State was being mortgaged to frivolous loans and deductions from workers salary were not being remitted. It also made no meaning to Falana that democratically elected local government chairmen and councillors were sacked and council election was not conducted throughout the four years of APC government in Ekiti State. “Instead of hiding under human rights activism to perpetrate evil against Ekiti and its people as he has always done, Falana should be bold enough to declare his governorship ambition, which is not hidden and let’s see how far he can go this time around. “Like we have maintained, this is 2016 and 2006 that Falana and his criminal collaborators used EFCC to remove governors, Governor Fayose whose impeachment was later declared illegal by the Supreme Court.”
