Army Captain Arrested For Harassing Atiku
An Army Captain suspected to have deserted the Army two months ago, was arrested after he attempted to break into the Kaduna home of former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar.
The incident is coming barely one week after another man who alleged that the former VP owed him some money, climbed a telecoms mast and threatened to commit suicide if he did not get back his money.
Sixteen killed in tribal clashes in Northern Nigeria
Sixteen people have been killed in tribal clashes in the East Nigerian state of Taraba near the border with Cameroon. All the victims belong to the Tiv ethnic group of farmers native to the area, attacked by nomad sheep-breeding Fulani from the mainly Muslim north of the country.
Politicians, traditional and religious leaders immediately requested government intervention to put an end to the escalation of violence between these two communities. According to a very recent report published by the Nigerian social-cultural association 'Miyetti Allah Katual Hore', in Nigeria over one thousand farmers have died in the past ten months in clashes with breeders. The age-old conflict between peasant farmers and breeders originates in the search for and control over grazing land vital for breeding. These violent clashes are almost aways the result of 'economic' conflicts and mistakenly perceived as religious clashes. The reports explains that in Nigeria sheep farming is monopolized by the Fulani, the fourth largest ethnic group in the country and also present in other Sahel nations. The Fulani, usually divided into nomad tribes, generally live in the north where there is a Muslim majority. Farmers, especially in the central and northern regions where the most serious clashes have taken place, almost aways belong to Christian-Animist ethnic minorities such as the Berom and the Tarok in the state of Plateau, or the Tiv (in Benue and Taraba). . .

Will ASHA sue Nokia as they lunch Nokia Asha in India.
Nokia has launched its third Asha S40 phone in India (after the 200 and 300 models) – the Asha 303.
While it’s not part of the new Asha bunchthat was unveiled at MWC 2012 last month, the Asha 303 is certainly an interesting handset. It offers a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a 2.6 inch QVGA touchscreen display. Other features include a 1GHz single-core processor, HSDPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Nokia Music Unlimited, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.2MP rear camera, 170MB of internal memory, and MicroSD card support (up to 32GB).
Indian customers can buy the Nokia Asha 303 either from Vodafone (which is offering 1GB of free data for the first four months with the handset), or unlocked, from LetsBuy – which asks 7,764 INR (about $154) for the device, saying it will ship it starting next week.
Will MTN Crash Internet Cost With WACS Cable?
As MTN Nigeria prepares to go-live on the West African Cable System (WACS), a 14,000 kilometres fibre optic submarine cable with a capacity of 5.12 terabits per second (tbps), which berthed in the country last year, the expectation that Nigeria e-commerce and emergence as a digital economy may have to wait until the issue of carrying bandwidth traffic to the hinterlands is addressed.
The WACS consortium include MTN, Angola Cables, Broadband Infraco, Cable and Wireless Worldwide; Congo Telecom.; Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (“SCPT”), PT Communicacoes, Togo Telecom, Tata Communications, Telecom Namibia, Telkom SA Ltd, and Vodacom Group Ltd. WACS which cost about $650 million spans the entire West African coast and terminating in the United Kingdom.
The cable would enable seamless connectivity among Southern and West Africa countries with the rest of Europe and America. It has 15 established terminal stations along its route and would function to reduce the cost to connect the West coast of Africa into the high-speed global telecommunications network. MTN is the single biggest investor in WACS with over $90 million in the cable.

Fabrice Muamba
Fabrice Muamba
A leading cardiologist yesterday raised doubts about the medical screening which Premier League footballers undergo after it failed to detect the problem which led to Fabrice Muamba's collapse at the weekend.
Doctors worked for two hours to get the Bolton Wanderers midfielder's heart beating again after he slumped to the ground a few minutes before half-time during the match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Sanjay Sharma, professor of cardiology at St George's Hospital, said: "I am surprised the heart problem was not picked up. The medical screening these players get is extremely comprehensive. It will identify 80 per cent of conditions causing sudden death."
The hospital, in Tooting, south London, runs Britain's only cardiac unit for sportsmen and women and has screened 20,000 athletes.
Messages of support poured in for the Wanderers and former England under-21 player, who remains anaesthetised and in a critical condition in hospital. Former teammate Gary Cahill wore a T-shirt with the words "Pray 4 Muamba" written across it, which he unveiled after scoring for his current club, Chelsea, yesterday.

Former teammate Gary Cahill wore a T-shirt with the words "Pray 4 Muamba" written across it, which he unveiled after scoring for his current club, Chelsea, yesterday.
Bolton's next scheduled opponents, Aston Villa, agreed to postpone their forthcoming match as a mark of respect. Sadly, the sympathy shown by the footballing community was not universal. A man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of racially abusing Muamba after a message was allegedly posted on Twitter and later deleted by a 21-year-old from Pontypridd.
"Our thoughts are with Fabrice's family and Bolton Wanderers and we are all willing him to pull through. Events such as this put everything into perspective," said Daniel Levy, chairman of Tottenham, Bolton's opponents in the FA Cup quarter-final tie.
Muamba, 23, was taken to the London Chest Hospital after collapsing in the 41st minute of the match. He received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on the way to the hospital, where doctors got his heart working.
The fast response of the medical team at Tottenham's White Hart Lane ground was praised by experts.
Dr Graham Stuart, an FA-accredited cardiologist, said Muamba's chances of recovery were significantly aided by their speed in reaching him and beginning attempts at resuscitation.
"They were obviously very troubling scenes but the thing that was most vital was how quickly he received treatment," he said.
"At that stage the support is critical and the speed of treatment is vital. Any delay can damage organs."
Undetected heart defects affect about one in 500 young people. Most live normal lives unaware that anything is wrong. But in elite sportsmen and women who push their bodies to the limit, a defect may make itself felt suddenly with devastating effect. That may explain Muamba's collapse.
If he survives the next few days the worry will be the effect of the minutes he lay on the pitch and in the ambulance while his brain was deprived of oxygen. His chances are improved by the speed with which the paramedics began working on him.
But the outcome will depend on how successful they were at keeping his blood circulating while his heart had stopped.
The commonest heart defect is cardiomyopathy, an inherited condition that causes thickening of the muscle in the heart wall, compressing the left ventricle and leaving no space for the blood to be pumped.
But cardiomyopathy can be hard to distinguish from "athlete's heart", the enlargement of the heart that occurs as a result of training, which is natural and a sign of fitness. This is especially so in black athletes.

Karrine Stefans' letter before divorce
Ladies you all need to read this letter...as in, you won't believe some of the things you are about to read.
For those who don't know her, Karrine Stefans (pictured above) is a former video vixen, who was married to Darius McCrary (Eddie Winslow of popular 90s TV sitcom - Family Matters). The two divorced in 2011, and three months later, Karrine was married again, but this time, to an unknown dread-locked dude.
A few days ago, Ms Karrine posted a letter on her website to her husband. Read it below
Sometimes, in relationships, the pleasure is all theirs. Alone, I am a superhero. With you, I am a mere mortal. You deplete me. I’m tired of being your upgrade. We are not equally yoked. You really deserve someone more basic. I’m tired of pretending your mediocrity is okay with me.
I’m tired of pretending I don’t miss G650′s. I’m tied of pretending you’re not a burden. I’m tired of pretending I don’t deserve a f-cking BOSS! I’m tired of you driving my car. Stop telling me you love me as if you’re doing me some sort of favor. I don’t need you to love me. I love me.
I’m tired of pretending like you shouldn’t be intimidated by the other men in my life. Cuz you should. I’m tired of pretending as if I support your bullshit dreams. I’m tired of pretending your d-ck isn’t the smallest d-ck I’ve ever seen in my life. Cuz it is.
