German data protection authorities on Tuesday said they had blocked Facebook from collecting subscriber data from its subsidiary WhatsApp, citing privacy concerns.

Facebook and WhatsApp promised in the wake of the Silicon Valley giant’s 2014 acquisition of the messaging app that they would not share data, Hamburg’s Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Johannes Caspar recalled in a statement.

He added that Facebook would be required to delete any data already received from WhatsApp in Germany.

“It has to be (the users’) decision whether they want to connect their account with Facebook,” Caspar said. “Facebook has to ask for their permission in advance.”

A pastor with a Pentecostal ministry, Chinedu Rockson, has accused the management of Ilogbo Central Hospital in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos State of removing his wife’s womb and damaging her bladder during childbirth.

Chinedu said the hospital also detained his wife over the payment of N50,000, adding that efforts to clear the bill had been frustrated by the hospital.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Chinedu’s wife, Chinansa, had been referred to the hospital on August 26, 2016, after she could not be delivered of the baby at the hospital where she had her antenatal care.

The hospital reportedly commenced a caesarean section on the 42-year-old after her husband signed some documents to perfect the terms.

Chinedu explained that some hours into the operation, he was called into the theatre to sign another document, adding that nobody told him it was for the removal of his wife’s womb.

He said, “They charged N200, 000 for the operation and we negotiated for N150,000. I paid a deposit of N30,000 and they started the operation.

                                            Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was jailed in the United States in 2012 for terrorism offences has appeared on the voters’ register in Edo state.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole drew attention to the existence of Abdulmuttalab’s  portrait in a fake voters register now in circulation.
A high stake governorship election is due in the state tomorrow, with the All Progressives Congress candidate, Godwin Obaseki locked against Pastor Ize Iyamu of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Oshiomhole spoke about AbdulMutallab  during a visit to him by the United States Consul General in Lagos, Mr F John Bray.
The Edo governor said he was shocked to see the portrait of the “underwear bomber” in the fake register, but with a Benin name.

Recession: Melaye urges Buhari to sack Adeosun, Emefiele, Udoma

Emefiele, Udoma and Adeosun

A member of the Senate representing Kogi-West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye, on Sunday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take drastic measures on the ailing economic, including the immediate removal of the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma; and the Governor of the Central bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.

In a statement in Abuja, Melaye said the President must shake up his cabinet, and accused some members of cabinet as lacking the capacity to deliver on the mandates of their ministries and agencies.
He said Adeosun, Udoma and Emefiele should be axed for the economy to be effectively rebooted to deliver on the change agenda of the present administration.

A cleric, Pastor Chinedu Ezekwesili, has accused Nigerian leaders of not showing concern about the plight of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls because none of their children was among the victims of Boko Haram violence.
He, therefore, prayed to God to take the peace of the leaders until they rescue the over 200 Chibok girls in Boko Haram captivity.
Ezekwesili, the husband of the Co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls coalition, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, said this during a special prayer service for the Chibok girls on Sunday in Abuja.
The cleric recalled the killing of 40 students of Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State in 2014 by Boko Haram insurgents, which he said was not addressed by the Federal Government.
He noted that the lukewarm response of the government to the incident emboldened the terrorists to abduct the Chibok girls.

Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has expressed disappointment at the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, for not visiting her when he was in Nigeria.
Zuckerberg arrived Lagos on Tuesday for an official visit to Nigeria and during the visit, the philanthropist was seen with hosts of entertainers including movie director, Kunle Afolayan, among others.
But ‘Omo sexy’, as she is fondly called, wondered why the Facebook founder ignored users with highest number of followers on his social media platform.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has not paid at least ten of his top staff members for their work, according to a new Reuters report based on federal campaign finance filings. Those who apparently worked for free on the campaign include top staffers such as Paul Manafort, who recently stepped down amid scandal over his earlier business dealings with corrupt Ukrainian leaders. In addition, Trump's California state director Tim Clark, communications director Michael Caputo and two senior aides who left in June to work for a Trump Super PAC have all not been paid, according to the campaign finance filings. Trump has repeatedly claimed that his campaign's affordability, with his team spending about one-third of what Hillary Clinton has spent, is proof of his business smarts. It's not clear if the staffers had agreed to work as volunteers or will simply deprived of pay. At least one of those on the list, Michael Caputo, told a radio station in June that he'd never offered to volunteer, but had simply never been paid. Two others, Ken McKay and Laurance Gay, told Reuters that they had worked as volunteers, though they each later received $60,000 through a Trump-backed Super PAC. Other top staffers who have not been paid include finance chairman Steven Mnuchin, national political director Rick Wiley and senior adviser Barry Bennett, according to FEC filings.

DSS nabs kidnapper of Australians

Department of State Security Service (DSS)
The Department of State Services ( DSS) said it has arrested Samuel Asuquo, the suspected kidnapper of three Australians working with Lafarge cement company.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Tony Opuiyo, an official of the service in Abuja on Sunday.
Opuiyo said the suspect was arrested by operatives of the service in Nasarawa Bakoko village in Cross River on August 22.
He said that the suspected kidnap kingpin received a ransom of N150 million.
In a related development, the service also arrested three suspected members of a notorious kidnap gang on August 30 in Lafia.
The suspects are, Bamaiyi Mustapha, alias Dan Borno, Aminu Isa and Hassan Shehu.
Opuiyo said that the suspects operated around the Abuja-Kaduna axis.

Bose Ironsi is the Executive Director, Women’s Rights and Health Project (WRAHP), an innovative non-governmental organisation with Headquarters in Ejigbo, Lagos State, that works for the promotion of reproductive health, rights and general development for women, young girls and communities. She believes delay in justice for rape victims has given rise to the high incidence of child rape and other cases of violence against women and children.

The rate at which minors are being defiled these days is alarming. It has become an everyday occurrence. What do you think could be the cause of this unfortunate aberration?

I think there are several factors. One of them that is very obvious is the fact that people now speak out more. It is not as if those abuse or crimes were not taking place before, it’s just that people are more comfortable to speak about it now. The social media is also helping matters that when something is happening, people are no longer keeping quiet. Another reason could be the effort of government and other non-governmental organisations like ours which have decided that you need to educate the public for example, we have a project that says, ‘see something say something’. When you see something say it especially when it concerns issues of abuse of women and children.

Secondly, I wouldn’t know why a man would abuse a child. Probably because they see the children as people that cannot report them. If an adult is raped, she’d be able to say this is who did this to me but for a child, she may not be able to express such so they take undue advantage of them. So many people conjure a lot of spiritual reasons why they do that but I don’t believe in that. It has to do with people taking advantage of the innocence of children. The reason they give for raping women is that women go about naked. I wonder why a six month or two-year-old child cannot be naked before the father. If you cannot be vulnerable before your father or immediate family, who else would you be vulnerable to?

One Shaaibu Yakubu, a 40-year-old deaf teacher in Potiskum, Yobe State, has allegedly defiled a 6-month-old baby girl.
The teacher was said to have been arrested on September 1, for raping the minor until her intestines got destroyed.
Reports which trended on twitter over the weekend under the hashtag #JusticeForHajara, had it that the culprit allegedly admitted to his crime and is out on bail.

Meanwhile, the Commandant of Nigeria Security and Defence Corps, NSCDC, Muhammad Gidado Fari, was quoted to have said Yakubu Abdullahi, was arrested by men of the NSCDC for allegedly raping the baby in the Potiskum area of Yobe state, noting that the deaf teacher allegedly connived with his 10-year-old student, who carried the baby to him from her neighbour’s house and he defiled her.

Soyinka not our adviser, say Avengers

Avengers deny Professor Wole Soyinka, pictured here with President Buhari

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) has debunked as untrue a news report that it had named Professor Wole Soyinka as one of its advisers in the planned dialogue with Nigeria’s federal government.

On the contrary, the terrorist group expressed its support for Chief Edwin Clark to lead the Pan Niger Delta Negotiation/Dialogue Team to discuss with the federal government.
Spokesperson of NDA, Mudoch Agbinibo said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Warri.
This clarification is coming two days after the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) had pledged its support and unalloyed loyalty to Clark on the struggle for dialogue.
The militant group noted that some names being paraded as factions of the NDA were the figment of persons bent on protecting their jobs.

Secretary to the Lagos State Government, Mr. Olatunji Bello

The Lagos State Government on Sunday said owners of illegal and abandoned structures, as well as street hawkers and those who have converted walkways into trading points in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and the Lagoon front, Lekki, must remove such within 14 days.

The Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello, said if such illegal structures were not removed after the 14-day ultimatum, the state Special Task Force on the clean-up of the Ikoyi and Lekki areas would enforce the laws.

He said “Abandoned structures in Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island are now harbouring prostitutes, miscreants and unwanted elements. Owners of such property must clear their structures.”

Bello said owners of property on the Lagoon fronts of Lekki Phase 1, who littered the areas with dead weight equipment, must remove them.

Frantisek Hadrava- parking his ultralight aeroplane at work

Frantisek Hadrava thought driving to work for 14 minutes was too much, so he built an aeroplane to cut the commute by half.

Hadrava, a 45-year old locksmith from the south-western Czech village of Zdikov, took about two years of his spare time to build his Vampira, an ultralight plane based on the U.S.-design of light planes called Mini-Max.
The plane has an open cockpit, propeller powered by a 3-cylinder engine made by Czech firm Verner, and maximum speed of 146 km (91 miles) an hour. It cost about 3,700 euros ($4,200) to build, Hadrava said.

Lassa fever: Group to buy rats from Lagosians

In a bid to avert incidents of Lassa fever and other vector-borne diseases in Lagos State, a non-governmental organisation, Phosguard Fumigant Limited, in partnership with the state government, has introduced a bounty, ‘Kill rats, make money.’

Under the project, rodents in the state will be bought by the NGO after they had been killed using hi-tech chemicals and equipment that would make their decomposing bodies non-infectious, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

The Philippines is in the midst of a brutal war on drugs sanctioned by the controversial President Rodrigo Duterte, which has seen almost 2,000 killings in a matter of weeks. The BBC's Jonathan Head explores the country's dark underbelly of dealers and assassins through the story of one woman trapped in a chilling predicament.
When you meet an assassin who has killed six people, you don't expect to encounter a diminutive, nervous young woman carrying a baby.
"My first job was two years ago in this province nearby. I felt really scared and nervous because it was my first time."
Maria, not her real name, now carries out contract killings as part of the government-sanctioned war on drugs.

A 14-year-old boy from London was among three Britons killed in Wednesday's earthquake in central Italy.

Marcos Burnett was on holiday with his parents and sister when the quake hit.
Will Henniker-Gotley, 55, and his wife Maria, 51, from Stockwell in London, also died.
Both families were staying in the same property in Sommati, a hamlet outside Amatrice, where emergency teams are continuing to search for survivors. At least 268 people lost their lives.
Marcos Burnett's parents suffered from minor injuries and are being treated in hospital in Italy. His sister also survived.

How to verify your Vehicle Plate Number

It is no longer news that the plate number of your car may be in use by another car. It is no secret that wherever an original is, the fake could be an earshot away. It is rather worrisome according to investigations made that out of every 10 cars on the road with Lagos and Abuja number plates, at least four are fake.
The Federal Road Safety Corps, the agency charged with the responsibility of issuing vehicle plate numbers has made it easy for vehicle owners in Nigeria to verify the authenticity of their vehicle plate numbers.

Donald Trump Apprentice: Photo Illustration by Daily Beast

In yet another salacious story about US Republican candidate, Donald Trump, the Daily Beast revealed today that part of the deal in appearing on The Apprentice with Donald Trump requires agreeing to a series of odd and invasive demands regarding sex, nudity, and food consumption.

DAILY BEAST quoting a copy of an NBC contract said contestants had to agree to be filmed, “whether I am clothed, partially clothed or naked, whether I am aware or unaware of such videotaping, filming or recording.”
2016 is the first election in American history in which lowbrow entertainment and politics have merged to such a degree that they are nearly indistinguishable. The requirements for The Apprentice contestants, while almost certainly not mandated by Trump himself, underscore just how strange this brave new world is.

A 27-year-old man, Chigozie Egegonye, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly planning the kidnap of his sister, identified only as Franca.

Franca and her four children had been declared missing since April 2016, when they suddenly disappeared from their home on Mayowa Street, Ago-Palace Way, Okota, Lagos.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Egegonye told his childhood friend, Michael Oluchukwu, that despite the wealth of his sister, she was stingy.

Our correspondent learnt that Oluchukwu, a cobbler, sent a text message to the victim, giving her an ultimatum of 12 hours to pay N300,000 or risk being kidnapped and killed.

It was learnt that Franca called the suspect and pleaded for her life, saying she could only afford N50,000.

Nollywood actress, Ebube Nwagbo photo: dindindara.com

Nollywood Actress, Ebube Nwagbo, has shared her fears concerning marriage following the high cases of divorce in the industry.

The Anambra State-born actress spoke to ‘Star Gist.’
She said she always tried to keep to herself but the industry where she found myself was a complex one.
According to her, one has to be very close to her in order to know the real Ebube, because most times she camouflages just to create an impression.
“The real me is not what you see in TV or read on the papers; but I am also human; I have my moods, my bad sides, my flaws, etc.
“I love the good thing of life, so I work hard to get them; I only stress myself when money is involved.

Kano collapsed building: Our students are safe, says VC

The Vice Chancellor of Kano State University of Science and Technology, Wudil, Professor Shehu Alhaji Musa, has dismissed as false, reports that 20 people lost their lives when part of a building under construction collapsed at the Department of Architecture.

Musa at a press conference, held at the NUJ Press Centre Kano, said that only five persons sustained injuries, while no life was lost during the incident.

The VC explained that of the five injured, two had already been discharged, while only one suffered a fracture.

Herdsman

Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen on Sunday night killed one Pastor Luka Ubangari of Redeemed Christian Church of God at Shawa village, near Godogodo, in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Ubangari was said to have been ambushed, shot and killed while returning from evangelism to Golkofa village.

The incident occurred few days after Governor Nasir El-Rufai condemned incessant herdsmen killings during his visit to the area.

El-Rufai had described the killings as ‘senseless’ and promised that perpetrators are arrested and punished.

According to Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, ‘child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse that includes sexual activity with a minor.’ Violence against children has taken different shapes. The damage to the psyche of the child cannot be quantified.

Nigerian Criminal Codes define rape as “unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or a girl, without her consent.” The penal code applicable in Northern Nigeria, defines rape in the same manner but provides that “sexual intercourse by man with his own wife is not rape, if she has attained the age of puberty.” Both criminal codes imposed life imprisonment as punishment for the offence.

Of all the violent acts against minors, child rape remains the most traumatising. The most painful aspect of it all is that these acts of wickedness and perversion are carried out by close family associates, persons in power, mostly trusted by parents of these children or the children themselves. Perpetrators of child rape shouldn’t be treated with kids gloves.

NDLEA File copy

The Borno State Command of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency has confirmed the death of one its staff who got drowned in a river while chasing a notorious drug baron.

Ona Ogilegwu, NDLEA Commandant in Borno, said on Monday that the incident occurred during an operation in Gwange area of Maiduguri.

He said, “In an effort to arrest a notorious baron, four men of the command were involved in a water mishap after diving into the Gwange River in pursuit of the suspect.”

The narcotic boss said that the NDLEA officials were involved in the mishap because they could not swim.

Governor Abdulaziz Yari

No fewer than eight persons were killed on Monday in Talata-Mafara community in Zamfara State after violence erupted over alleged blasphemy against Islam by a student of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata-Mafara.

Governor Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari joined hundreds of people to bury the deceased who were killed when an angry mob set fire on the house of a man who tried to rescue the student.

The student was alleged to have made a blasphemous statement against Islam and Prophet Muhammad and was consequently attacked by a mob.

The boy was said to have been beaten to pulp by the mob. The man, whose name was simply given as Tajudeen, took him in his car and rushed him to a hospital.

Seven-year old pupil releases gospel album

A seven-year old basic three pupil of Pritikids-Rehoboth School, Ejigbo, Favour Adaobi Enemchukwu, recently released a music album into the Nigerian entertainment market.

The budding artist whose 9-track gospel album titled ‘God’s grace’ is enjoying quality air play, praised her parents and recording company for making her realise her potentials, even as a child.

Describing the young, beautiful talent from Umudioka, Anambra State, as an epitome of hard work, her father, Mr. Joseph Enemchukwu who doubles as her manager stated that her tenacity, hard work and singleness of purpose contributed immensely to the success of the work.

Valentine’s Day: Lighting up the world with love

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” – Mother Theresa

Someone rightly said that life is not a bed of roses. Stories of wars, untold hardship, man’s inhumanity to man, among others bombard the airwaves daily. Foreign media are awash with fearful stories that can melt the strongest of hearts. Man is suspicious of his neighbour because no one can be trusted anymore. Wars and suicide bombings have become the order of the day. No wonder the saying, ‘watch your back’ has become more popular in recent times. The world is in a crisis. One wonders what would become of the generation following going by today’s terror and evil-minded men. Evil is everywhere and the articulated attempt and well-thought-out plans of great leaders and nations are not yielding enough fruits, but, in the midst of all these calamities, hope beckons, a ray of light appears.

Happiness is a choice

Cyndi Jones (not real names) is a clear picture of what every woman would love to be. What with her enviable job, good looks, comfortable lifestyle and a very caring, handsome and wealthy husband who made sure she had whatever money could buy and pampered her to no end. Little wonder she was devastated immediately after her 35^th birthday when her dear husband passed on leaving her to cater for three little children. Her world literally collapsed and the pall of gloom and loneliness overshadowed her. Without asking for it her once vibrant, vivacious lifestyle transformed overnight to a sullen, unhappy and lonesome life.

Stella was a Branch Manager of one of the third generation banks who was committed and was actually doing well or so she thought until she lost her means of livelihood and withdrew into a shell, becoming a shadow of her former self. She allowed the circumstance to get to her to the extent she lost the will to live.

Central Asia needs life support as Russia suffers

Russia’s central Asian satellite states lack the immunity to fend off the economic ills which have beset their larger neighbor. Tajikistan has appealed to the International Monetary Fund for support. Other countries in Russia’s economic orbit may need similar treatment.

The land-locked nation of 8.5 million people, which has been in talks with the international lender about a bailout package since early February, is most directly exposed to trouble further north. Falling oil prices and economic sanctions have hit remittances from workers in Russia that are the lifeblood of its economy.

A long river of trash runs through a Beirut suburb

Ranking North Korean army officer said to be executed by regime

A senior North Korean military leader has been executed for "factionalism, misuse of authority and corruption," a South Korean government official with knowledge of North Korean affairs told CNN Thursday.

The official, who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity, declined to give further details on how or when General Ri Yong-gil, chief of the North Korean Army's general staff, was executed.

Donald Trump and Univision have settled their lawsuit over the Spanish-language broadcaster’s elected to not air Miss Universe or Miss USA.

Univision dumped the pageants after the GOP frontrunner — who used to own the Miss Universe Organization — made disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants. In late June, Trump sued Univision for damages over the decision, which he believed to be “in excess of $500 million.”

The terms of the actual settlement were not released.
