Execution of Christians no longer acceptable, says Trump

U.S President, Donald Trump has remained resolute in his hedge-hammer especially on the Islamist terrorists, saying the wanton execution of Christians in the world would no longer be tolerated.

President Trump who took to his twitter handle to state this also said that countries need strong borders because the terrorism happening in the world has made it a total mess.
Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!
Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world – a horrible mess!

Recall that President Donald Trump tweeted his defense Sunday of his order temporarily banning immigration to the United States for refugees and some Muslim travelers — a controversial policy which has sparked international furor and two days of US protests.
“Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world – a horrible mess!” Trump wrote.
US airports and other sites across the United States, including the White House, were expected to see a second wave of protests Sunday against Trump’s temporary immigration ban, which a federal judge partially blocked by ordering authorities not to deport detained refugees and other travelers.
The ruling also coincided with a wave of anger and concern abroad, including among US allies.
A second Trump tweet took aim at a favorite whipping boy, the New York Times, which has ramped up its political coverage and toughened its tone as his presidency got underway just over a week ago.
“Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity!

Casillas slams Real Madrid fans for booing Ronaldo

Iker Casillas has criticised Real Madrid’s fans for their treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite being the club’s all-time record goal scorer, Ronaldo has never been afforded the full adulation of Madrid’s supporters.

He’s been jeered on and off ever since moving to the  Bernabeu in 2009 but has felt the full wrath of the
Madridistas this season – despite scoring 20 times in 25 appearances in all competitions.
After misplacing a few passes at the start of Madrid’s win over Real Sociedad on Sunday he was subjected to boos and responded by appearing to swear in the direction of his own fans.
And Casillas reckons Madrid’s fans expect too much of their team’s star man.
“These things happen in stages, Cristiano sells a lot, and demands a lot of himself,” Casillas said. “Along with [Leo] Messi he is the best in the world. He has this… this responsibility.
“As a Madridista, sometimes you don’t understand why it can happen. Six months ago Madrid were European champions, one month ago they were world champions.
He has just won the trophy as the world’s best player. Last year I remember a difficult moment before [Rafa] Benitez left. Then at the end of the season they were in the clouds with the Champions League.

“If he scores two or three goals a game, that is just what he is supposed to do. It is madness. You must help him - have people around him and the club who help to protect the players. He must continue trying to be the player he is, the best in the world.”

Man follows bride and groom as they walk down the aisle during Brazilian wedding… then pulls out a gun & starts shooting at guests

A couple's wedding day is expected to be the happiest day of their lives, but that was not so for a couple in Brazil whose wedding was disrupted by a gun-toting, trigger- happy intruder.

Hardly had the bride and groom walked down the aisle to stand in front of the altar when the man, who marched in behind the couple, lifted his t-shirt, brought out a gun and began shooting Guests and the couple scattered in different directions while some guests were brought down by the bullet.

Umberto Ferreira dos Santos, known by his nickname Betinho, opened fire at guests at the ceremony inside a church in Limoeiro de Anadia.

He was plotting to take out a father and son in a revenge attack over the death of his own boy, it was claimed.

62-year-old man Cícero Barbosa da Silva, and his 37 year-old son, Edmilson Bezerra da Silva, who were supposed to stand in as witnesses at the wedding were both shot. They were rushed to the hospital and have reportedly been stabilised. The gunman fled after carrying out the callous act.

Dear Blackface, your move against 2face Idibia is very disappointing - Ruggedman

Hours after Blackface reposted a post attacking 2face for supporting a rally against the present government (read here ), artiste, Ruggedman, took to his own page to call out Blackface. According to Ruggedman, Blackface's post is disappointing. He advised him to change his ways. Read what he wrote after the cut...

BLACKFACE FACE WHAT'S REAL
@blackfacenaija you be my guy and@official2baba na my guy but I will tell you that this your move right here is very disappointing. You sang hardlife and all when things were even a bit bearable, but now that things are really messed up you have kept quiet. But here you are mouthing off over a 2Face move? Guy you fall my hand. Talking about educating people.....1. It is not a protest being lead by 2face. He said he saw the post and thought to lend his voice to it. Something a few other artists and people have done. 2. So you knew about all the governors embezzling funds and yet you said nothing. But you are quick to shout now because 2face name has come out on something. But you make it too obvious you have something against 2face and you should have let all this go by now. NIGERIANS are suffering and you are just monitoring 2face. Atleast he has chosen to lend his voice to something all Nigerians believe is needed. What have you done? You have details that should be out there for all to see but you only decided to speak cos 2face is involved. Guy change your ways. I know you as a crusader and not a 2face hater. The people need voices that can be heard, I know you are one of them. Do the right thing brother. Life in Naija now is harder than it ever was and Buharis people should let Nigerians know what they are doing right and also let Nigerians know who and who is doing wrong. You cant say you are doing great things when the people cant feel it. You cant say you are fighting corruption yet not one corrupt official has been jailed in 2 years.

LIB Exclusive: 2face is never concerned about people, he's just concerned about himself - Blackface

A few hours ago, Blackface renewed his bitter rivalry with 2face Idibia when he re-posted a lengthy piece titled 'Let us educate the illiterate' on his Instagram page targeting 2face Idibia and the planned protest on February 5, 5017. Read here
With this, LIB exclusively reached out to Blackface who defended his action saying, 'I don't think they should be thinking of a protest because we just got out from a crazy time, and the government is trying to fix the country. It's time to support the government and see what we can do for the country and not protest. They have been there for smaller amount of time and expect them to do miracles '

LIB: Don't you think the present government has subjected several citizens to hardship?
This government? Have they forgotten there was a government before this present administration. If  somebody has Pneumonia, you would forget the time the person was in cold. Just for us to be factual, what is he protesting about? I think he should do better things than protesting. He should protest with his music, if I should advice him kindly. Has he protested for his Local government in his state? They say charity begins at home.

LIB: So you think the protest is meaningless?
I think its a waste of time.

LIB: Do you think the government has really done well?
We can't start asking this government if they have down well, they just started. PDP was there for about fifteen years. Did they come out to protest why there was no constant electricity?, Why was the National Stadium being used for unnecessary occasions? Why were people doing things against the law? so Why  didn't they protest?

LIB: In the post you shared, 2face was described as an illiterate for his move to protest against the government, don't you think that was harsh?
I'm not the one who wrote the article, but there are things he shouldn't go into because he doesn't know anything about it.

LIB: So why did you repost it?
I had to because people have to read what the person's opinion is all about. This person thinks like this. You (2face) don't think similar and I think a lot of people feel this same way too. Has Fela ever called people out to come out a protest against the government? You(2face) calling people out? You (2face) know what you have done to people and now you are calling them out, he must be joking. He is never concerned about collective people, he is just concerned about himself. He can't just be mobilizing people, nah nah nah, that is a fraud.

LIB: What is your reaction to the Professor that called out 2face over his Protest against the Govt?
A professor, you mean a professor called him out and you think he is daft? We need to call a spade a spade. I know you guys are going write a lot of negative stuff about me that I said he shouldn't lead such protest. But what am saying is that nobody should use the manipulative mind to tell people to come out for something that is not worth it. That is wrong.

LIB: Don't you think 2face is a leader in the society and will be able to convince the government with the protest?
Let me tell you something. Does 2face Idibia have a fruitful foundation? No, Does 2face Idibia have anything that has to do with Benue State? No! Let me tell you something now. Emma Ugolee is in the hospital. If somebody is a front runner what is he supposed to do? 2face is supposed to be able to mobilize people to figure out a way to raise money for Ugolee 's hospital's bill. If I want to do that, the radio and TV are not going to listen to me. You guys have to come out straight. I don't know what will happen after it but we don't have to do no protest. Let us get our mind straight, they should stop that and stop manipulating people's mind.

Meet world's only black woman who gave birth to 2 white babies (photos, video)

Nigerian woman married to oyinbo man gives birth to only oyinbo babies

- A British woman of Nigerian descent beat once-in-a-life time million odds to give birth to two white babies
- She is married to a white man
- Although she says her family has always been black as far as they can recall, doctors say she carries a dormant white gene

  A 35-year-old British woman of Nigerian descent has remarkably beaten one-in-a-million odds to give birth to two white babies.

  Doctors believe Catherine Howarth is the only black woman in the world to have two blue-eyed, white babies—three-year-old son Jonah and 10-month-old daughter Sophia.
Both she and her white husband Richard were shocked on both occasions when nurses handed them their babies and they thought there had to be a mistake.
  Catherine says her family lineage has always been  black. However, their initial disbelief turned to adoration for their miracle babies.

  Catherine jokes that people keep mistaking her for a nanny every time she goes out with her kids. She adds that her children's distinctive and cute looks have attracted child modeling agencies and that both kids have already appeared in ads.
Experts say the remarkable phenomenon is probably caused by a dormant white gene that Catherine might carrying.

DSS were right to invite me for questioning – Apostle Suleman

Apostle Suleman says DSS did the right thing

Apostle Johnson Suleman has reacted to the invitation by officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) saying it was in order.

  The president of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide escaped arrest in Ekiti when he was whisked away by Governor Ayodele Fayose when he allegedly incited killing of Fulani herdsmen.

Apostle Suleman says DSS did the right thing

  The religious leader had said that he received intelligence that his chirch was about to be attacked by Fulani herdsmen and called on his members to kill them.
  NAN reports that Suleman spoke on Monday, January 30 in Abuja where he said he was ready to go to DSS office and honour their invitation describing it as in order.

“I presume the right thing was done. They have been in touch with me to come and that is why I am in Abuja, so that I can see them.”
“I was talking in my personal capacity on information from a reliable source that certain people in the capacity of Herdsmen were coming to attack me and I told the people around me that if it happens they should defend themselves.”
