Fulani herdsmen kill a Catholic Seminarian At Enugu State

Suspected Fulani herdsmen, on Thursday morning, carried out another attack in Enugu state, storming Ndiagu Attakwu community, in Nkanu West Local Government Area, killing ‎a seminarian of the Catholic Church and wounded several others.

This attack is coming barely four months after a similar attack on Nimbo community left several persons dead.

Reports revealed that the armed herdsmen stormed the community at about 2 a:m, and butchered every person in one of the compounds and escaped after alarm was raised.

The traditional ruler of the community, His Royal Highness, Igwe Greg Ugwu, who spoke to journalists on the incident, said he was shocked that such horror was visited on his people without any form of provocation.

"There was no issue at all between them and my people. The only thing I heard is that they entered into the heart of the community Wednesday afternoon and a woman sounded a gong, after which the cows scattered; they got the cows together and left only to return in the night", he stated.

It was gathered that the herdsmen entered the residence of the victims by climbing through the roof.



"As soon as they got it, they started butchering the occupants; the seminarian died instantly; another person had her intestines ripped off; four of the victims are battling for survival as we speak", a community source disclosed.

The seminarian, identified as Lazarus Nwafor, an indigene of Orlu in Imo State, was said to have returned from his ‎Apostolic work on Wednesday afternoon.

Speaking to journalists on the incident, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Calistus Onaga described the incident as a provocation too many.

‎He said: "few weeks ago, both the clergy and the laity gathered and showed their anger over the activities of these Fulani herdsmen; we were able to calm people down; we said let us give government a chance; but you can see the climax, a student has just been butchered; it looks like we are being targeted every year, we are being attacked.

"The government should do something about this; it is very painful; it is very sad. This is not the way to do things; all of a sudden these people have assumed another efrontery, they have assumed another boldness, they have assumed another attitude.

"If they cannot live with us together, let them quietly go; this is our land, we cannot pack out of this place.

"We are pleading with all the security agencies to look into this because at a time, people may not hold their patience again, there may be free range of anger and violence.

"Of course we are not prone to violence but at a time we can really be stretched so much that we will have no option than to defend ourselves. Life has been lost and to replace it is impossible.

"So, we are really sad; we are really in pain and I need to really summon the courage to address the Catholic Faithful on what happened; how would I explain it?"

Teens Who Say No to Social Media

Some teenagers are opting out of the relentless pursuit of 'likes' on Facebook and Instagram—and they don't feel like they're missing out

ILLUSTRATION: CARMEN SEGOVIA

When 14-year-old Brian O'Neill of Washington, D.C., wanted to find out what his friends had been up to over summer vacation, he did something radical: He asked them. Unlike most kids his age, Brian isn't on social media. He doesn't scroll through his friends' Instagram shots or post his own, nor does he use Facebook or Snapchat. "I don't need social media to stay in touch," he says.

Such abstention from social media places him in a small minority in his peer group. According to a2015 report by the Pew Research Center, 92% of American teenagers (ages 13-17) go online daily, including 24% who say they are on their devices "almost constantly." Seventy-one percent use Facebook, half are on Instagram, and 41% are Snapchat users. And nearly three-quarters of teens use more than one social-networking site. A typical teen, according to Pew, has 145 Facebook friends and 150 Instagram followers.

But what if a teen doesn't want to live in that networked world? In a culture where prosocial behavior happens increasingly online, it can seem antisocial to refuse to participate. Are kids who reject social media missing out?

Before the advent of the internet and social media, staying in touch with friends during summer vacation meant writing letters home from camp or talking to your best friend on the phone. "When I was their age, during summer vacation, I was tied to the phone," says Brian's mother, Rebecca O'Neill. "But my son just texts or emails people when he wants to see someone, and they meet up in person."

Most of the social-media abstainers whom I interviewed aren't technophobes. On the contrary, they have mobile phones that they use to contact their friends, usually via text. They are internet-savvy and fully enmeshed in popular culture. And they are familiar with social media. They just don't like it.

Jacqueline Nesi, a researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies teens and social media, says, "Based on survey data from our lab as well as national statistics, I would estimate that only between 5% and 15% of teens abstain from social-media use."

To these teens who opt out, the relentless pursuit of "likes" looks exhausting. "I think it takes too much time and kids get too absorbed," says Annie Furman, 19, who grew up in the Dallas area and is about to start college in Iowa. "I'd rather see my friends in person than tweet at them. I don't want to spend all my time on my phone. I want to spend it in the real world."

For many nonusers of social media, the immediacy of face-to-face interaction trumps the filtered intimacy of Facebook and Instagram. "I do love seeing kids otherwise attached to their phones equalize when they're cut off," says Katy Kunkel of McLean, Va., whose four children range in age from 7 to 12. None of them are on social media. Especially during the summer months, she notes, "The kids recalibrate much quicker than adults. They find a tribe, then fun or trouble in trees and creeks…. They are way more active by default."

The children themselves don't often feel that they are missing out. Even though "almost 100%" of his friends are on social media, Brian O'Neill says that he can't recall a time when something important happened in his social circle and he didn't hear about it. "They let me know if something is going on," he said. Ms. Furman's experience is similar: "Sometimes I wouldn't understand a specific joke everyone was telling, but 90% of the time, it's not really worth it—it's just a joke."

"Parents are so afraid of having their kids feel left out," said Marnie Kenney of Washington, D.C., whose 14-year-old daughter Raya has opted out of social media. "They project that fear onto their kids." But, she notes, "Social media is just gossip, a lot of it," and she thinks her daughter is better off without it.

Discussions of the impact of social media often focus on cyberbullying or online predators, but a more immediate and chronic danger is its tendency to encourage teens constantly to compare themselves to their peers. And not just to their peers but to Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner and other Instagram stars, models and YouTube celebrities whose exploits are relentlessly documented across social media. "All of the comparison isn't healthy," said Sue Lohsen, the mother of two daughters in Washington, D.C. "Everyone has their Facebook-perfect, happy life. But you have to figure out your own self. Social media doesn't encourage people to do that."

In a study published this spring in the journal Psychological Science, researchers created an Instagram-like program and then used fMRI scans to measure teens' reactions to the photos that received more or fewer likes. What they discovered was a process of "quantifiable social endorsement," with teens using what received likes on social media "to learn how to navigate their social world." But such cues can be adaptive or maladaptive. The researchers found that adolescents "were more likely to like a photo—even one portraying risky behaviors, such as smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol—if that photo had received more likes from peers."

Such peer pressure is hardly new. What is new, with social media, is the speed with which peers can comment on each other's lives, as well as the assumption that they should. "There's a kind of bipolar effect that social media has on girls her age," Marnie Kenney said of her daughter. "They're constantly being judged. Their self-worth is constantly measured by other people's response to every single thing they put online."

"I feel like a lot of what happens on Instagram isn't valuable communication," said Katherine Silk, 18, who grew up in Los Angeles and is about to start a gap year before heading to Emory University. "I'll be with friends eating, and they'll say, 'Let's post this on Instagram!' Sometimes I feel like saying, 'You should be talking to me and the other people here, not posting things for people who may or may not care, just so you can get more likes.' " Like many social-media abstainers, she thinks that too often her peers "don't have adequate boundaries" when it comes to social media use.

As for the possibility that they are missing out, the social-media abstainers are sanguine. "If I have something important to tell my friends, I'll call them. That's enough," says Ms. Silk. "Honestly? Even as an adult, I wouldn't use it unless I really needed to," Brian O'Neill says about social media. "There's nothing really new or creative on it. In 10 years, the social-media craze will be pretty much gone. Everyone will find a different way to waste their time."

Should Lagos street gates be re-opened?

— Governor Akinwumni Ambode has ordered that streets gate be re-opened

—Some Lagosians have said street gates protect their streets from intruders

—Is Ambode right in ordering the re-opening of the gates?

As the governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode ordered that all street gates in Lagos be re-opened, I suddenly had a feeling of dejavu. Governor Ambode's ultimatum to landlords association and community organisations is not the first time a governor wills such order.

During the early years of former governor Fashola administration, the erstwhile governor also gave an order for the gates to be thrown open.

People had complained at the time that the gates were inhibiting movement especially during emergencies. But the associations at the time had insisted that streets gates are necessary because they protect their neighborhoods from armed robbery attacks.

Nonetheless, the state government had its way and street gates were removed for easy access. Now several years later after the first pronouncement by Fashola, we are back to the same issue.

Now concerned by the excessive use of street gates and barricades in many parts of Lagos, the Lagos state government ordered immediate re-opening of all street gates and barricades in the nook and cranny of the State.

Street gates are to be re-opened between 5am and 12 mid-night daily, just as it warned that defaulting streets would have their gates pulled down within the next seven days.

While the neighbourhoods associations may be right in wanting to protect themselves from intruders, there are genuine arguments against mounting street gates. Inner city roads are meant to serve as alternative routes during traffic congestion on major roads.

She added that they used to meet inside the bush at the back of their school every Friday after the school hours.

Five Things that keep ladies in relationships

In my own opinion and experience in dating and others, I realise happiness is a key to a lasting relationship. I think the following is my own observation about it.

(1)Sex, this sounds funny but it's real. Ladies are happy if you could satisfy them sexually though some pretend to hate it. simply put, they are happy when their men is good on bed.

(2)Attention, ladies love to talk. over 90% of them spend their lives in talking. They love to talk virtually everything that comes their way.And so they are happy when they are with a man who is ready to hear and interact with them.

(3)love, ladies national anthem is love. ladies feel happy when you love them.They are very proud of you especially when you fight for them. They are also happy when you care for them.

(4)Money, most ladies (99%) happiness is tied to money. Some may lie and disagree with me but its true.I know of broken relationship today due to lack of lavish spending from the guy. The way some ladies will look at you self you will want to hang yourself because of money. In fact, money and ladies are one coin with two sides.

(5)Big Dick, I mean big dick like 6 inches. Ladies craved for this dick. They love eat as if their life depend on it. According to hearing from ladies in a forum, most of them clearly testify that big dick can make them stay long in a relationship.

North Korea Threatened USA using Hydrogen Bomb

    North Korea a country with great weapons. A country that has the guts to hold the United State of America to ransom.A country able to start a war without any aid. whenever you ask an aAmerican soldier this question,"which counry gives you  the most headache?" The glaring answer surface to be North Korea.

  According CNN news, North Korea has again successfully carried out hydrogen bomb test.A weapon deriving a large portion of his energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes.This a weapon more potent than uranium or plutoniyum bomb. In an atomic bomb,uranium or plutonium is split into lighter elements that together weigh less than the original atoms,the remainder of the mass appearing as energy.

  North Korea threatened that they will use the hydrogen bomb on any country that will try to invade their sovereignty territory. Can someone tell me who will try to invade the North Korea territory other than US who has always disagree with them in all endeavor.With their recent achievement in nuclear weapon,the US will be careful with the war prepared and battle ready North Korea.

The world should be wary of North Korea and their weapons. They could be the unrecognized super power.Lets make the world a safe place to live.A place where we will not fear of outbreak of war.
