Read what was shared by Gift Okedinma on Facebook. 
The free medical outreach program of the Honourable Member Representing Ehime Mbano, Ihitte Uboma and Obowo in the Federal House of Reps, Hon. Deacon Chike Okafor, can not be completed without mentioning the case of one miss Loyce Osuji, an Orphan, from Ihitte Uboma local government area, who was operated of LEFT HEMIMAXILLECTOMY by a team led by Dr Chikwendu Ejike today. It was a mind boggling seeing miss Loyce Osuji, paralyzed in the theatre for over 3 hours, and breath taken away from her as the Doctors battled to save her from LEFT HEMIMAXILLEITOMY (a tumor /abnormal growth)

To the family of the lady, when it was perceived that every hope were lost to save her, Hon. Deacon Chike Okafor came to the rescue even when Ihitte Uboma local government area has completed her turn in the ongoing free medical outreach services.

Speaking aftermath of the HEMIMAXILLECTOMY surgery operation, Dr Chikwendu Ejike opined that he has never seen such a man like Chike Okafor before who will be so magnanimous to fund a surgery case of over 750 thousand naira, just to secure the life of another. He denoted that HEMIMAXILLECTOMY case is a peculiar one that has dealt with several people, brought sorrows to several families and profoundly thanked Hon. Chike Okafor for saving the life of the young lady. He recapped that he had to remove all the affected teeths from her system after which she will undergone a transplant to fill it back.

When asked about the implication if the surgery wasn't performed, he enlisted facial deformity, blindness, Haemorrhage and Herniation as some of the implications, which he said was an invitation to death.

For Dr Ononuju Lasbrey, who was part of the operation, he poured encomiums on Hon. Deacon Chike Okafor and described his large heart as mind blowing. He explained that the lady was heading for a total blackout before God used him to rescue her.

Super Falcons Face Life Bans, Coaches, Officials To Be Axed - Officials

Authorities plan to ban several Super Falcons stars and some of the coaches could lose their jobs as fallout from the standoff over unpaid entitlements.

Falcons striker Francisca Ordega will among the stars to be axed after she said she regrets playing for the country.

The USA-based star was later blasted by NFF president Amaju Pinnick for her comments.

“I can categorically state here that the name Ordega will never be heard or seen in a Super Falcons team list again. This I was told by another top official of the football house,” a source informed.

“No less than 10 of these players could be banned for life for ridiculing their fatherland before the international media and henceforth, the NFF may draw up a code of conduct to guide against future occurrences.”

“The coaches and officials are not left out as they could lose their jobs for not standing firm in support of the federation when it matters most.”

Nigerian sports minister Solomon Dalung visited the team Thursday and pleaded with them for understanding before their outstanding allowances and bonuses.

But the girls have dug in, insisting they will only quit their hotel when they get their monies.

OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT

PRESS RELEASE

18 FINALISTS EMERGE IN FG-SPONSORED EDUCATION ADVOCACY PROGRAMME FOR DISPLACED CHILDREN IN 3 NORTHEAST STATES

*Winners to present advocacy campaign video at Grand Finale Thursday, in competition where children become advocates against terrorism

*Over 3000 entries from Borno, Adamawa & Yobe

After rigorous essay writing sessions and validation of submitted entries, eighteen finalists have emerged winners of the Essay Writing Competition in the recently announced Federal Government’s education advocacy programme for displaced children in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. 

The Grand Finale holds Thursday in Maiduguri, Borno State where the finalists will present their education advocacy videos at an event to be attended by dignataries and functionaries from across the three states.

The Protecting Education Advocacy Challenge to reorient children affected by insurgency in the 3 Northeast states was announced November 20 and kicked off soon after garnering 3,079 of such children showing keen interest in the competition by turning in their entries.
“The enthusiasm and active participation of these children in the Essay Competition is indicative of their willingness to be the voices raised so that education is protected for them,” according to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, Dr Mariam Masha.

The eighteen finalists, six from each state were the lucky winners out of 3,079 entries received from the three states, with Borno having 1,337, closely followed by Adamawa with 1,230 while Yobe had a total of 512 entries.

The winners from Borno are Aisha Musty and Bukar Abdulrahman in the 8-11 years category; Abubakar Musa and Zulai Mikaila in the 12-14 Years Category and Hauwa Bulus and Kaka Emmnauel in the 15-18 years category. 

From Adamawa State, the winners are Emmanuel Andrawus and Faith Mathew in the 8-11 Years Category; Prince Midenda Napatali and Abba Gana-Bundi in the 12-14 years while in the 15- 18 years category are Grace Markus and Ali Bulama.

Modu Aisami and Adamu Ibrahim emerged in the 8-11 years category in Yobe State. Other winners in the state are Fatima Lawan Jinbam and Mustapha Abdullahi in the 12- 14 years Category and Sadiq Abubakar and Abubakar Baba Adam were winners in the 15-18 years category.

This education advocacy which raises the voices of the children as advocates is a model that directly engages the children in conversations concerning their educational visions and helps to to create a sense of involvement and enhance the success and sustainability of their education.

It is targeted at school-aged children displaced in the North East States of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe and the competition commenced simultaneously in the three states witnessing unprecedented acceptance as thousands of enthusiastic school aged-children obtained their entry packs in the Primary, Junior and Senior secondary schools categories.

In Borno State, a total of ten IDP Camps participated including Dalori 1 and 2, Bakassi A & B, Teachers Training College, EYN, Farm Centre, Gubio, NYSC, and Bokolis, all spread across the state. 

In Damaturu, the Pompomari IDPs Camp, host communities and schools such as Government Secondary School in Gulani,Goniri,Bularafa and Government Day Secondary School in Buni-Yadi, Bukar Ali,Bindigari and Nayi-nawa submitted entries while their counterparts in NYSC , Makoyi and Fufore IDP Camps in Adamawa State also participated in the Essay writing competition.

The programme is an integral component of counter- radicalization project of the Office of National Security Adviser (ONSA), and the Disaster Risk Reduction project of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). It is coordinated in the Presidency by the Office of the Vice President.
Its cardinal objectives include the adoption of children as main advocates of education and voices countering every form of extreme violence in order to break the radicalization process of insurgency and other violent acts.
With the essay writing over, the expected eighteen winners, six from each of the three states are to develop an advocacy campaign video which will be presented by the children themselves before a live audience at the finals in Maiduguri, the Borno State Capital on December 8th.
Also, as parts of the advocacy, series of drama presentations, community events and focused mentorship are being staged in the camps, to provide an uncommon window to take the counter-terrorism fight from the battlefield right into the minds of these children. 
This advocacy programme will complement the Federal Government’s ongoing recovery efforts in the North-East by using education as a tactical tool to return dignity and normalcy to the affected children and to actively engage these children in advocacy to counter violent extremism.

Other partners and supporters of the programme include the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Medview Airline, Softcom, Venture Garden Group, Academy Press and UACN Property Development Company - UPDC.

India Seeks To Import 11m Metric Tonnes Of Nigerian Crude In 2017

Barely one month after the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, negotiated a $15 billion crude-for-cash swap deal with India that would see the Indian government making an upfront payment to Nigeria for crude purchases, Indian refiners have indicated interest in increasing Nigerian crude imports from nine million metric tonnes in 2016 (MMTPA) to 11 million metric tonnes in 2017.

By the terms of the deal, which are yet to be agreed, the $15 billion would be repaid on the basis of firm term crude contracts over some years and in consideration for Indian public sector (PSU) companies collaborating in the refining sector.

Other methods of repayment include: exploration and production activities on a government-to-government basis by Indian PSU companies, and long-term contracts for the supply of crude to Indian PSU companies from Nigeria.

Successful bidders for Nigeria’s crude oil term lifting contracts for 2017 will emerge by the middle of this month.

Indian refiners such as Indian Oil Corp (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) currently have crude oil lifting contracts for 2016 with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

However, NNPC’s Group Executive Director, Refineries, Anibor Kragha, told S&P Global Platts in an interview on the sidelines of the Petrotech conference in New Delhi on Monday that the Indian state-run refiners were pushing for an increase in crude oil allocations from Nigeria.

“Three Indian companies said that they were looking for a combined total of 11 million metric tonnes in 2017 from nine million mt this year,” Kragha said.

About seven barrels of crude make one metric ton.

“Now what they will get is a balance between term contracts and (spot) sales contracts,” he added.

“We just came out of a meeting with key Indian oil companies and they are pushing to get incremental allocations for the term contracts. We explained to them that there needs to be a balance.

“Once Nigerian output recovers, it will increasingly look towards India as the major buyer of its crude. Indian demand is very positive for us. A vibrant Indian economy is good for us,” Kragha explained.

Under the crude term contracts, Nigeria exports around 1.17 million bpd of Nigerian crude, out of the 2.2 million bpd production that is sold by contract holders to end-users, refiners and other buyers.

The country’s production dropped in recent months to a 20-year low as a result of renewed militancy in the Niger Delta.

However, Kachikwu also told journalists on the sidelines of the New Delhi conference that the total production was around 1.9 million bpd, including 300,000 bpd of condensates.

Kragha said negotiations were ongoing and that if the deal is successful and Nigerian output recovers, the country would “increasingly look towards India” as the major buyer of its crude.

“Indian demand is very positive for us. A vibrant Indian economy is good for us,” he added.

In 2015-16, India imported nearly 23.7 million metric tonnes of crude (nearly 12 per cent of India’s overall imports) and over 2MMTPA of LNG from Nigeria.

Following the $15 billion negotiation, the two countries agreed to work on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate investments by India in the Nigerian oil and gas sector; specifically in areas such as the term contracts, participation of Indian companies in the refining sector, oil and gas marketing, upstream ventures, the development of gas infrastructure, and in the training of oil and gas personnel in Nigeria.

The MoU is expected to be firmed up this month during PETROTECH-2016.

According to a source from an Indian refiner, “Nigerian crude is a must have for most of our refineries, especially the older ones, which have been designed to run light sweet crude.

“Despite all the militancy issues, we still buy Nigerian crude, as our refineries need it. We will continue to buy Nigerian crude, but we want them to supply us with more,” he said.

India, which is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, has seen its gasoline and gasoil demand climb sharply over the past few years.

This has encouraged Indian refineries to buy more Nigerian crude.

The disadvantage of being deflowered before wedding

We hear alot of people saying a guy or lady is not good in bed or one party doesn't satisfy the others sexual desire. Trust me this is mainly attributed to those who never married as virgins. 

When two people get married as virgins, there is no way they will have any issues with their sex life because first of all, no matter the size of the guys manhood, that is what the lady's virgina will get use to and their way of sex life is what they will both grow with and add spices to just the way they want it. 

Now because so many people these days get disvirgined very early and probably end up being with more than one person before they get married, the issue of sexual satisfaction always arise and this is because of the different experiences one gets to have. In this regard you find yourself comparing one particular persons way of sex to another and when your married partner fails to be like one of those you have been with in the past, it becomes an issue and you start looking for were to get extra satisfaction that will finally destroy your marriage. 

Be a proud virgin till marriage and trust me you will be one of those to have a happy ever after married life.

Abia Polytechnic Manufactured ASEPA Bins (Photos)

ade-in-Aba: AbiaPoly takes bold step
...Manufactures waste managment equipments, school desks

The Made-in-Aba products campaign which the Abia State Government is championing has taken yet another positive turn, with the state owned polytechnic, Abia State Polytechnic Aba, ready to make waste conversion and disposal equipments locally.

Abia State Government, under the leadership of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, successfully stimulated and fired the innate spirit of ingenuity in the Abia man with the strident and focused campaign to produce and buy made in Aba products to generate jobs and grow the economy of the country.

It is in our interest, as a state and people, to stop distracting the government in Abia, and instead support the efforts of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in making Abia truly the number one state; the SME capital of Nigeria as well as the commercial nerve centre/production hub of Nigeria.

These equipment pictured here, were fabricated by the engineering department of the Abia State Polytechnic Aba.

Abia State Polytechnic at Aba is a technological institution, with prospects to become Abia State University of Technology in the near future.

The AbiaPoly Engineering Department will be partnering with the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) in the provision of waste disposal bins (popularly known in Aba as ASEPA bucket) that will be used for waste management.

Also, desks for primary and secondary school children that will be used in Abia and other states, will be produced by the Abiapoly and her students.

Burial Photos Of Joseph Izu Who Was Shot Dead By Soldiers

IZU'S BURIALS: PARENTS, 3SC, IJAW CONGRESS, NANPF CALL FOR JUSTICE

The remains of footballer, Joseph Izu, was laid to rest at his hometown in Okarki village in Rivers State today December 3rd. 

The grieving parents of the slain Shooting Stars defender, Izu Joseph, Mr & Mrs George Joseph, have joined others to call on the Federal Government to bring the killers of their son to books.The calls came shortly after the burial rites of the player whose life was cut short by the bullets of armed security personnel in Okarki area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on 16th, October, 2016. 

It was indeed a free flow of tears, wailings and teeth gnashing when the body arrived at the burial site and a complete shut down of activities on all the streets passed by the long convoy.In his sermon by the grave side, Rev.Father John said everyone comes from dust and to dust we shall return! He admonished people to live Lord dominated life with total dedication, reminding everyone to brace up as death would come unannounced.He later prayed to God to hold the family together at this time of grief.


Reacting shortly after the interment, Shooting Stars' Akinwumi Akinyele described Izu Joseph as a committed player who is already being missed by the club.He called on the appropriate authority to act fast at bringing the killers to justice.Also, toeing the same line was the General Secretary of the Ijaw National Congress, Victor Butubo who believes the Federal Government should not turn deaf ears as Izu's killing is already a dent on its image.


Responding few minutes later in his residence, Pa George Joseph said he is only interested in getting justice for his son but frown at perceived lopsidedness in the posting of security personnel to Niger Delta areas! 

"I only need justice for my son.And I should say this too, the policy of posting particular ethnic group in the Army to Niger Delta is not good for the unity of the country", he concludes.

The burial events attracted people from all walks of life.Izu Reuben Joseph, 24 is survived by wife, a daughter, parents and siblings!
