People With Dreads, Stretch Marks, Bleached Skin Disqualified From Ghana’s Immigration Recruit Process

Things just got real in Ghana.

Ghana’s Immigration Service has declared that anyone with stretch marks, bleached skin and surgery cuts will be disqualified from its recruit process. The spokesman of the service, Michael Amoako-Attah, told BBC that this measure was taken to ensure the safety of recruits.

He said,

If you have bleached skin or surgical marks on your body during training exercises you may incur some bleeding and that wouldn’t help or augur well for the safety of the applicant, because we have seen it before and as much as possible we should avoid re-occurrence.”

Prior to this development, the agency had generated a total of N330,084,300 million from the application form which was sold at 50 Ghanaian Cedi, that is N3,890.

The agency received 84, 637 applications for the 500 available positions. Of the number, 47, 477 has been shortlisted for stage two.

Is This Goodbye? Chocolate Producing Plants May Go Extinct By 2050

That is 32 years from now.

This is because climate change has affected the cacao plant, which is responsible for the chocolates the human population produces. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have said that a temperature rise of just 2.1 degrees centigrade might put an to the chocolate industry.

Almost all the world’s cacao plants are found in two countries, Ghana and  Cote D’Ivoire. With the climate change, that is the warmer temperature and dry climate, only 10.5% will be usable in the future, a study noted.

Kidnappers demand N100 million ransom for Bishop Kukah’s brother

Kidnappers of Yohanna Sidi Kukah, a traditional ruler in Zangon Kataf local government area of Kaduna State, have demanded a ransom of N100 million for his release.

The younger brother to Matthew Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto diocese of the Catholic Church, was abducted at gunpoint alongside one of his guards at his private residence in Anchuna, a village in southern Kaduna, on Tuesday.

A family source said the abductors made the demand through the monarch’s wife’s phone.

“Since their abduction, there was no word from the kidnappers, until last night when they telephone the wife.

“The monarch was given the phone to speak with his wife and other family members. The kidnappers said N100 million should be paid before they release them,” he said.

I drink blood of people I kill, kidnap kingpin says

Ibrahim Umar, a 25-year-old kidnap-for-ransom kingpin, said he had not only killed over ten of his victims in recent times but also drank their blood raw.
Umar made this chilling revelation yesterday when the police paraded him along with 15 others. He added that he hunts and kills soldiers to get their arms and uniforms for operations whenever he was in need of the items.

The suspect, a vicious and notorious kidnap/armed robbery kingpin, who said he has been in the business for over two years, was arrested alongside his three gang members in the forest and towns along Abuja-Kaduna, and Abuja-Suleja-Minna highway by men of the F-SARS Special Tactical Squad attached to Operation Absolute Sanity.

The husband of two wives and father of two, who gave his nickname as “Oro”, told journalists at Sabon Wuse Divisional Office, venue of the parade, that he had made fortunes worth millions of naira from the atrocities he carried out on the highway in the past two years.

The arms and ammunition recovered from the gang included five AK47 riffles, 15 7.62 X 39mm AK47 ammunition, two swords and cutlasses, four pairs of suspected fake military uniform and mobile phones.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), who paraded the suspects before newsmen, gave their names as Mohammadu Auta, a.k.a Babawuro, aged 27; Musa Usman, 25 years old and Abdullahi Abubakar, aged 28. Umar’s gang, according to Moshood, “is the most vicious and notorious syndicate of kidnap-for-ransom gang arrested by the police in the recent time. The gang was defeated and its members captured after an intense gun battle that lasted more than five hours between the F- SARS Special Tactical Squad attached to Operation Absolute Sanity.

“The gang leader confessed to have killed personally more than 10 people, including those that he killed and still collected ransom from their families. He also confessed to have sucked the blood of most of the victims after killing them. He was identified by some of the victims rescued from their captivity by the police in the forest, “Moshood added.

Twelve other suspects were also arrested in the act of laying ambush to kidnap people returning from Christmas and New Year holidays on Kaduna-Abuja road and Minna-Suleja-Abuja road.He said they were apprehended in their various criminal hideouts in the forest and other locations along the Abuja-Suleja-Minna highways for kidnapping, armed robbery, murder and multiple rape cases.

“All the suspects arrested confessed to their various crimes. The suspects will be arraigned in court for prosecution on completion of investigation, while investigation is being intensified to arrest other members of the gang still at large,” he said.

New Year Resolutions: Drop The Old You Before The New Year

There is a mental intuition behind New Year resolutions, that for every first of January, you wake up a different person. But is that really true? Is there something different between waking up on other days versus waking up on New Year day?

To wake differently on January 1st is not just a windy suggestion you make to yourself. It is a concrete innate die-hard motivation which you affirm to yourself to start your goals on that day.

To mentally prepare yourself, follow these steps.

1. Write Out Your Resolutions:

This might seem like an old hack but it really helps if you write down what you want to achieve and the period you want to achieve them. Do you want to get a job within the first three  months? write it down. Do you want to go to the gym more in the first month? write it down. It helps to explicitly list the things you want to achieve.

       2. Focus:

Review your list every week to constantly remind yourself that which you must do. This will help you avoid distractions when it comes to your goals.

3. Drop The Old You:

Psychology helps in pushing out the best in people. Mentally prepare yourself to drop old habits which do not benefit you. Affirm to yourself and mentally picture how you could be better. Once these are done, wake up with a different aura. An aura to be different and leave behind that which you no longer need.

Meet ‘Nigerian Prince’ Who Defrauded Hundreds Of Americans

The police in Louisiana has arrested an American advance fee fraudster posing as a Nigerian prince.

The police in a facebook post said the fake Nigerian prince has duped hundreds of people across America using emails.

According to The Sacramento Bee anyone with an email address has likely gotten a message from the so-called Nigerian prince or two offering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in secret inheritances or, in some cases, payment for assistance laundering ill-gotten gains from mining conglomerates or royal treasuries.

Police in Slidell, Louisiana, say they finally caught up with one of the people behind some of those emails. He’s not exactly Nigerian royalty, either, police wrote in a Facebook post.

Michael Neu, 67, of Slidell, Louisiana, faces 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering following an 18-month investigation, police wrote. They say Neu took part in hundreds of financial transactions involving phone and online scams to con money from people across the United States.

In these scams, the supposed Nigerian prince (or other official) asks for the person’s personal banking information in order to speed the transfer of the purported inheritance or temporarily hold the allegedly pilfered funds. The information can then be used to withdraw funds from the victim’s accounts.

While Neu might lack a royal title, at least some of the money obtained in his scams did go to co-conspirators in Nigeria, police wrote. Investigators are continuing to untangle Neu’s web of scams, but many other leads also connect to people outside the U.S., the post says.

Police noted that while these kinds of emails are laughable to many people, authorities report millions of dollars in losses to such scams each year.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” said Police Chief Randy Fandal in the Facebook post. “Never give out personal information over the phone, through e-mail, cash checks for other individuals, or wire large amounts of money to someone you don’t know. 99.9 percent of the time, it’s a scam.”

Law enforcement agencies across the nation also are warning people of calls from scammers purporting to be police or court officials demanding payment via phone of bogus fines or warrants. Another version involves scammers claiming to be jailed relatives pleading for bail money, often targeting older people.

Lagos bridges under threat of collapse from parked trucks

Some bridges in Lagos are at a risk of buckling under the weight of parked heavy-duty trucks.

The Ijora, Eko and Carter Bridges are under great strains from immobile articulated vehicles, a situation worsened by recurring gridlocks and the deplorable state of roads leading to ports and tank farms.

Other bridges affected by similar stress are those at Abati Barracks, Ojuelegba and Stadium.

The Guardian recently counted 85 articulated vehicles conveying containers of various sizes parked between the Ijora and Jibowu Bridges.

An empty 20-feet container weighs 2,000 kilogrammes. A 40-feet container doubles the kilogrammes. With an average truck weighing about 14,000 kilogrammes, the total weight of 25 stationary trucks on the Ojuelegba Bridge could be around 450,000 kilogrammes. This is besides the weight of other vehicles. The implication is that the four bridges on the Western Avenue area of the city – Ijora, Stadium, Ojuelegba and Abati Barracks – pack a massive 1.53 million kilogrammes on an average day.

The load on these bridges, not originally designed to host heavy static vehicles, and a lack of consistent and thorough maintenance could spell tragedy.

Structural engineer and immediate past President of NIStructE, Oreoluwa Fadayomi, said: “When these vehicles are stationary on the bridges for a long time, they have negative impacts. These include deterioration, bridge-fatigue, damage or even collapse. Moreover, there is no money anywhere now to build these kinds of solid structures again. Bridges are made so that vehicles keep moving.”

He warned: “There is also the risk of a fire. If any of the articulated vehicles catch fire, there would be a chain reaction, which can cause severe damage to the bridge. We are sitting on a keg of gunpowder because the bridges are weakening daily, as tankers, trucks and articulated vehicles park on them due to traffic congestion.”

He urged government to address the causes of vehicles parking on bridges and ensure proper and timely monitoring of the facilities. “Something should be done to stop it very fast because of the negative effect on the infrastructure and possible disaster in the event of a collapse,” Fadayomi added.

The challenge on the bridges is exacerbated by construction on the Apapa Road and the current fuel scarcity in the country. As a result, many vehicles are forced to stay permanently on the bridges for weeks, due to lack of loading bays in tank farms and oil companies.

Previous attempts by the Federal Government and Lagos State authorities to curtail the problem have proved abortive. The office of the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, has on several occasions given ultimatums to truck drivers or even deployed force, to no avail.

Most of the bridges were constructed during the 1970s oil boom. The nation would need $8 billion yearly to close up the huge gap in its public infrastructure and about $14 billion every year to fund infrastructure. Regrettably, current spending on infrastructure is an estimated $6 billion. Also, for decades, budgets for capital expenditure by federal and state governments have been on the decline while recurrent expenditure has been rising. The average government budget for capital expenditure has been about 25 per cent.

According to the past President, Nigerian Institution of Structural Engineers (NIStructE), Dr. Samuel Ilugbekhai, the state of the bridges is one of gross structural abuse. He stressed that they were not designed to bear enormous weight from static trailers and tankers, and warned that their life spans could be shortened.

Urging government to put more effort into solving the problem, he noted the difference between buildings that house car parks and bridges. While multi-storeyed parks are designed for the specific purpose, bridges are intended to carry transitional loads within seconds. “They are not designed to retain loads for one hour, two hours, days or weeks,” Ilugbekhai said.

Also, President of the Nigerian Institute of Structural Engineers, Eddy Atumonyogo, said besides the destructive strain on the bridges, aesthetics is also compromised, with engine oil and other pollutants threatening surfaces.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr. Godwin Eke, however said government is aware of the dangerous state of the bridges. He said talks are ongoing with Ogun State to provide a loading bay where vehicles, especially those along Western Avenue, could park.

He disclosed that government has also engaged stakeholders like the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Association of Maritime Truck Owners (AMATO) and National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), with a view to solving the problem.

He added that if these efforts fail, the authorities might have to resort to towing the vehicles away.

What Does Success Mean To You?

So many times, we see several celebrities and accomplished individuals on the internet or television and we say to ourselves that they have been successful in their chosen career. To some people, this inspires them to make some life-changing decisions. To others, it eats deep into them and they begin to question their entire life decisions.

At what point can one really say that they are successful? This is a question that bothers many of us. Is it right to say that a person is successful only after they’ve been given multiple awards and recognition?

It’s already the holiday season and it’s that time of the year when some of us might have the feeling that we’ve not been successful in various aspects of our lives. However, the important question we should ask ourselves is what exactly success means.

Around this time, people are more interested in making New Year resolutions, but more often than not, these come to an end by mid-January.

Instead of the common New Year resolutions that have become a tradition for many, wouldn’t it be better to look at things from a different perspective? More so, in a positive way.

Most people are so quick to question their progress, especially because they are comparing their lives to celebrities and who upon investigation, spend so much time and years building their craft. Success really doesn’t happen in a day. It takes time, dedication and the mindset to determine what exactly success means.

Are you so interested in being listed on Guinness World Records or Wikipedia before you deem yourself successful? Or are you waiting to be celebrated by colleagues in the same industry as yours before you believe that you’ve been successful this year?

From the dictionary, success has mainly two definitions: the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and the attainment of popularity or profit. Success is what you make of it especially when you set SMART goals based on what you desire. It’s entirely a personal decision to choose how you may rather view success.

Take the initiative to make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and have a time limit (SMART). Accomplishing such goal will give you a sense of pride and fulfilment which will ultimately make you feel successful. If you are able to take baby steps to reach a goal, it’s worth everything since it will lead to the ultimate realisation of your goals, hence making you a successful person.

Seeing success in a different limelight will definitely determine how positive your life will be and create a shift in your thinking. It will be of more importance to list realistic goals you can work towards achieving and this will be a way of determining your success instead of comparing your life to that of a total stranger.

Being like someone others may deem ‘successful’ doesn’t necessarily make you one. After all, no one has the right to impose their version of success on you. So if possible, write out your goals for 2018 and hang it somewhere conspicuous. It’s important that we define success and take no heed of external validations whatsoever.

In the meantime, look back at the year 2017. What ‘little’ goals were you able to accomplish. Do you think you were successful?

How I sold my kidney for N15 million in Malaysia

A young adventurous Nigerian from Irua, in Edo State, has narrated how he was driven by poverty to sell his kidney for the sum of N15million in Malaysia.

The man, identified simply as Abu, said he had travelled to Kuala Lumpur in 2008 in search of greener pastures, when he ran into some Malaysians, who told him he could make good money by parting with one of his kidneys.

According to one of his associates, Sam Otarumene, who spoke to Sunday Telegraph, Abu was introduced to some medical agents in Malaysia who briefed him about the “business” and allayed his fears that he could die.

“He was told he could survive on one kidney, and was also assured that he had nothing to lose. Within a few days, some tests were conducted on him, and his organs were certified healthy,” Otarumene said.

Upon completion of the test, he was allegedly told he would be paid in Malaysian Ninggit, which when converted to Naira amounted to N20million. But the agents insisted on receiving 25 per cent of the sum, part of which covered his post-surgery recovery expenses.

An agreement was said to have been duly signed by himself, the agent and the family of the benefitting patient before the operation. He said that was a major requirement before the hospital accepted to perform the surgery.

He was checked into an unnamed hospital on a Friday in the February of 2009 and after preliminary medical procedure, sedated and his kidney harvested. Abu, allegedly received the money and after recovering from the surgery, returned to Nigeria.

Upon his return in 2010, he informed some of his friends about the “business,” and invested his money into private business.

“He first erected a storey building in Irua, and has since then been working with some politicians,” the associate mentioned earlier said.

Attempts to speak with him were rebuffed by Otanumene, who said the action was a guarded secret, because Abu only revealed it to a few of his associates, adding that he even showed them the scar left behind by the surgery. He, however, showed our correspondent a video recording purportedly showing Abu spraying cash when a local musician described as Emperor Wadada, celebrated his 25 years on stage last year.

Clad in white attire, the fair-complexioned Abu danced excitedly before the musicians, spraying money as his accolades resonated from the local amplifiers. He said Abu is married with children and living happily by following his dietary instructions.

Otanumene said that contrary to reports of organ theft, many Nigerians enter into deals to sell off their kidney for a fee, adding that only in few cases were those organs actually sold without the consent of their owners.

How To Exude Confidence In Your Body Language

Whether you are a Barack Obama, a job seeker or a little girl who is addressing a crowd for the first time, your body language shows the type of persona you have without having to say it out loud. Your body language is particularly important if you want to send positive signals. Luckily, body language can be learned and unlearned.

The following will teach you how to improve your body language:

Practice standing in front of the mirror: This will show you what you look like and how your expressions are when talking to people. If you notice you can’t make eye contact, then imagine how you appear to people. Practicing everyday in front of the mirror will help you to build yourself psychologically and also show you the body (especially facial) language that you might have been unaware of. You are allowed to envision how you want to look when talking before practicing with the mirror.

Maintain eye contact: But do not stare. This shows that you are trustworthy and open. By the way, remember how someone stared at you and you freaked out?

Practice sitting or standing properly: Did you know that folding your arms when talking to someone makes you look defensive and insecure? Same goes for crossing your legs when talking and holding a drink to your shoulders. Instead, sit with your legs slightly apart with your feet facing the direction of the person you are talking to and place your hands on your one of your thighs or better still, practice a power position. It’d send confidence impulses to the brain.

Relax your shoulders: Move back slightly, breathe…,now relax. People actually want to hear you speak not act like you are afraid of them. Think of it this way: They think you have something important to tell them but you are too tensed. You really need to relax.

Stop sitting at the edge of your seat: It doesn’t look good on you. It totally eliminates whatever form of self-confidence you think you have in the eyes of the people you are addressing. I mean, who wants to talk to someone who appears too desperate?

Smile: People like to feel like you are listening to what they are saying. So nod, smile, ask engaging questions. These subtle ways will help you build trust. Besides, smiling “genuinely” makes you appear friendly and interested.

Fidgeting needs no introduction. Touching your face, tapping your hands on the table or your feet on the floor makes you appear insecure and less confident. Instead sit straight up, relax and try to stay positive.

Mirror your counterpart: People are subconsciously attracted to someone who is confident. Be selective in who you want to mirror because you might just find yourself copying the other person’s gesticulations and his charisma might rub off on you.

A couple. Photo credit: Pinterest

Fake it till you make it isn’t such a bad saying after all so keep your head up and walk like you own the world.
You are responsible for your confidence.

Want to live to 100? Try being more stubborn, keeping busy

The world’s oldest man has celebrated his 113th birthday in Spain after putting his long life down to a diet of home-grown vegetables and a daily glass of red wine.

According to a report by DailyMail UK, Francisco Nunez Olivera, who has four children, nine grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, began the day with his traditional sponge cake and glass of milk for breakfast before opening letters of congratulation from around the world.

The widower’s daughter Maria Antonia, 82, was among those who spent the anniversary with him at his home in the village of Bienvenida in Badajoz, south-west Spain.

Francisco, who has two siblings aged 97 and 93, became the world’s oldest man after the death of Polish-born Israeli Yisrael Kristal on August 11.

The retired farmer, who fought in the Rif War in the first half of the 1920s between Spain and the Berber tribes of the Rif mountains in Morocco, went out for daily walks alone in his home village until he was 107.

He started to read again aged 98 after a cataract operation, one of only two occasions he has been to hospital, according to relatives.

Relatives have attributed his longevity to a diet based on vegetables he grew on his own land and a daily glass of red wine.

Also, researchers at the University of Liverpool revisited a study carried out 175 years ago which compared the health and life expectancy of people in different parts of the United Kingdom (U.K.), including Liverpool, to see if its findings still held true.

They found that stark differences still exist and that people living in Liverpool still had lower life expectancy than those living in the rural area of Rutland.

The original study into sanitation conditions by Edwin Chadwick in 1842 charted the average age by death and by occupational group for five areas in the UK — Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Bolton and Rutland, a rural county in Eastern England.

The findings revealed a strong correlation between where you lived, what your job was and the age you lived to. This was the first study to demonstrate the huge geographical differences in health and life circumstances. It showed that a labourer in Rutland could expect to live a longer life than a professional tradesman in Liverpool.

Research led by the University’s Department of Geography & Planning undertook a similar analysis using data from the Office of National Statistics and the 2011 census to see if the same pattern still persisted.

They found that whilst the level of inequality was not on the scale it had been between the two areas in 1842, individuals in the middle social class bracket in Rutland still lived longer than those in the highest social class in Liverpool.

Dr. Mark Green, who conducted the study, said: “On the 175th anniversary of this report, which was ground-breaking at the time, we wanted to see if in the 21st century your geography — that is where you live — still determined your health and life expectancy.

“We found that whilst life expectancy has nearly doubled since Chadwick’s report, there is still a link between where you live, your social class and how long you live to.

“It is remarkable that after 175 years, mortality rates in Liverpool are still higher than in Rutland within each occupational group. What this demonstrates is that living in certain locations offers very different life chances and health outcomes for people within the same occupational groups.”

Nigerian Facebook Slay Queen Mysteriously Dies, Friends Say She Was Used By “Yahoo Boys” (Photos)

It’s speculated that Princess Lavish may have been jinxed which led to her death – according to a Facebook user, Iam KayKay, who decided to use her as a point of reference to other girls, he says Princess allowed them to “use” her and now she’s lost her life.

Further investigation into Princess revealed that she actually was a lavish person, as she usually led that life on social media – one of her photos had her showing off exotic mobile gadgets, iPhone 7 & 8 which butresses her expensive lifestyle.

According to friends too, it’s said that Princess was used by “yahoo boys” which has caused people to have mixed reactions – after the post Iam KayKay shared, people have come for him asking why he’d even post such about a dead person…

but in his defense, he meant no offense but was only trying to warn other ladies if apparently, Princess’s story is true.

He wrote:-

Young lady who carries plantain on her head finally graduates UK university, has MSc in Project Management – Here is her story (photos)

A Nigerian man has come out to share an inspiring story of a young lady who carries plantain on her head in Ogbia, Bayelsa state, graduated from a university in the United Kingdom (UK).

Michael Tarerefa on Tuesday, December 5, narrated how he encouraged the beautiful young lady to apply for scholarships abroad instead if just sitting at home ever since she completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.

Despite being rejected by some universities abroad, Ibu Faith did not give up until she got admission into the University of Bedfordshire to study Asset Management Engineering. She got this admission under the scholarship of Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).

Ibu Faith

Faith who studied Banking and Finance while in the university later switched to Project Management and she eventually graduated with distinctions for her masters degree.

Tarerefa’s post reads: “MORNING MOTIVATION!!! I have known Miss Ibu Faith for about seven years now as a dedicated, honest, intelligent, unassuming and respectful young lady. Just last year, we were discussing about her plans for the future after NYSC and I encouraged her to apply for admission and scholarship for postgraduate studies.Her application to the University of Liverpool was rejected despite her 3.10 CGPA in Banking and Finance. We tried other Universities within and outside Nigeria; and also applied for several scholarship opportunities.

Luckily, she got a Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) scholarship to study MSc in Asset Management Engineering. You begin to wonder how someone who did Banking and Finance is expected to pursue an Engineering degree in postgraduate studies, I then encouraged her to switch to Project Management, which she did after some convincing.

December 2016, she was on her way to the United Kingdom to study MSc in Project Management at the University of Bedfordshire. Just 12 months later, she sent me one of the most amazing messages I have got throughout the year, that shy plantain carrying petite Ogbia girl is graduating with an MSc with Distinction in Project Management. Congratulations my friend!”
