she stabs robber to death in self defence

An armed robbery suspect has been stabbed to death by a women he and his gang went to rob.

 

When a gang of robbers stormed the home of a middle-aged woman identified as Adenike, armed with cutlasses, knives and iron rods, they never knew they would meet their match in the woman as one of them was overpowered by the lady whocollected his weapon and stabbed him to death.

The woman who is currently recuperating from the injuries she got in the scuffle with the hoodlums in a hospital in Lagos, narrated how the miscreants stormed her apartment at about 2 am and ordered her to hand over her valuables and cash or they would kill her.

It was learnt that when the robbers got to Adenike’s apartment, there was a struggle during which one of the robbers, identified as Quadri Iginla, cut her with a knife.

Adenike was said to have wrenched the knife from Iginla, and stabbed him in the stomach. The robbery suspect reportedly lost balance and fell off from the two-storey building.

Neighbours, who learnt of the robbery, were said to have alerted the police from the Adeniji Adele Division. The other suspected robbers reportedly escaped after the police got to the area.

The policemen were said to have rushed Iginla, who was unconscious, to the Lagos Island General Hospital, where he later died, while Adenike was also taken by her family to a private hospital.

Speaking on the incident, the lady husband said the robbers injured his wife in the hand with a knife, adding that there was a struggle during which Iginla was pushed off the building.

He said

“We cannot confirm the number of the robbers. They entered my apartment at about 2 am. One of them injured my wife in the hand and there was a struggle. As this went on, other people called the police and a patrol van was sent to our street.

The robbers quickly fled from the house. One of them, who had sustained a knife injury, fell off the staircases. The policemen took him to a hospital for treatment.”

3 Natural Remedies That Can Help diabetes

Cinnamon
This is perhaps one of the best-known (and widely-researched) treatments for diabetes. Research has found that many of the bioactive ingredients in this popular spice are able to mimic the action of insulin. In other words, they make it easier for glucose to travel from the bloodstream to the cells (where they are needed for energy). This, in turn, prevents high blood sugar and all the problems that can go with it.
Gr*pe seed extract
Many people are not aware of this, but the liver (like the pancreas) plays a big role in regulating blood sugar levels and keeping them in a range that is safe for the body. Gr*pe seed extract can help because it is able to protect and rejuvenate liver tissue and support healthy liver function. This is a very important factor to consider for diabetics.
Bitter melon
Despite the off-putting name, bitter melon is a popular Indian remedy for diabetes and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for this and many other conditions. It is believed that compounds in bitter melon mimic the action of insulin in the body and can help with natural blood sugar regulation and control.
So consider the natural remedies listed above. They can help diabetics to regulate their blood sugar levels safely and avoid the serious long-term complications like kidney failure that can be so devastating for people with this condition.

Scientists Have Discovered The Cause Of Asthma And Possibly The Cure

Drop your inhaler — you may not need it anymore. Scientists at Cardiff University in Wales say they have found the root cause of asthma, The Telegraph reports. And the discovery could lead to a new treatment for the condition within the next five years.
Using mice and human airway tissue from asthmatic and non-asthmatic people, the team was able to prove that the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is the cause of the condition. In asthma patients, the CaSR is overactive and causes the airways to become inflamed and narrow. When this happens, the tell-tale symptoms of asthma occur: coughing, wheezing, the feeling of a tight chest and loss of breath.
After uncovering the cells that are triggering the problem, researchers also realized that drugs already exist that can deactivate these cells and put a stop to all the symptoms. Calcilytics, a calcium receptor antagonist used to treat bone deficiency, could be the answer to asthmatics’ prayers everywhere.
“If we can prove that calcilytics are safe when administered directly to the lung in people, then in five years we could be in a position to treat patients and potentially stop asthma from happening in the first place,” said professor Daniela Riccardi, lead investigator of the study.
If this continued research proves successful, this could be the best news for asthma sufferers yet. 

See 6 Ways You Didn’t Know You Could Still Get Pregnant

With the advent of contraceptives, women have more control over when they can get pregnant. At least, that’s the theory. In practice, you can get pregnant at almost any time, until you’ve gone through the menopause. Here’s six surprising examples.
1. When you’re on contraceptives
Although contraceptives drastically lower the risk of becoming pregnant, they aren’t fool proof. The average condom is 98% effective, whereas most hormonal contraceptives are about 99%. Those seem like good odds. However, it still means that out of 100 couples using contraception, at least one will get pregnant. This is why some people “double up” (using both condoms and the pill) to ensure they aren’t in that 1-2%.
2. When you’re menstruating
It’s extremely unlikely to get pregnant during your period, since the hormonal environment isn’t suitable, and Aunt Flow is kind of a mood killer. But extremely unlikely isn’t impossible. Some women have conceived from having unprotected sex on their period, especially if it occurred near the end of their cycle.
3. From, ahem,otherpractices
Without having to spell anything out, and risk becoming a fansite for50 Shades of Grey, non-vaginal intercourse isn’t proof against pregnancy. Of course, it’s still very,veryunlikely, but there’s always an exception to the rule. In fact, one woman actually got pregnant from – how can we put this -“seeking alternate avenues of pleasure,” due a rare medical condition that combined her uterus and rectum.
4. When you’re sterilised
The human body is designed to do three things: sleep, eat and procreate. Whilst it’s possible to interfere with the latter, either by cutting the fallopian tubes, or performing a male vasectomy, our biological imperatives can sometimes beat the system. In rare cases, sterilisations can sometimes become undone. Life finds a way, we guess.
5. Whilst breastfeeding
After giving birth, it’ll probably be a while before you’re back in the mood. For those who are eager to hop back in the saddle, don’t skip contraceptives just because you’re breastfeeding. Although the hormone prolactin interferes with ovulation, it’s not guaranteed.
6. When your partner “pulls out”
For some reason, “pulling out” has become a valid form of birth control, presumably because our government is so against sex-education. A single drop of semen can contain thousands of sperm. Stay in, or pull out: the chances of getting pregnant are pretty much the same, if neither of you is using contraception.

“Be Careful Of Occultic Men” Rev Father Ejike Mbaka Warns Enugu Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

“Be Careful Of Occultic Men” Rev Father Ejike Mbaka Warns Enugu Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Yesterday popular Catholic Cleric and the founder of Enugu Adoration Ministry Rev Mbaka, marks his 20 years in the ministry. 

Here are some excerpts from his message yesterday:

“I am not tired after 20 years, 20 years of good health; 20 years of miracles from God; 20 years of hard apostolic work; 20 years in the hand of God. There was a time they blackmailed me; they were saying such things like ‘Mbaka why? Mbaka this, Mbaka that’, but I have remained in the hand of God.”

“forgive all those who have fought us on the course of this ministry and bless those who have stood behind us.”

In a special message, entitled, ’20-point agenda,’ Fr. Mbaka said he was praying for President Buhari

“that God will protect him so that enemies will not destroy him. I also pray for Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi so that God will not allow occultic men to steal his vision.”

In a brief chat with journalists, the spokesman of the ministry, Maximus Ugwuoke said blackmail and unnecessary criticisms had rather strengthened the cleric.

According to him:

“Those who are saying he should stay out of politics are misguided. It is part of the role of priests. So, they are merely trying to cow him down but I can tell you that Fr. Mbaka is not somebody to be intimidated; the more they do this, the more he is strengthened.

“In these past years, you can see how God had vindicated him; you can see his prophetic message before the general elections; at a time, he was repeating that prophecy even in the face of threat to his life. So, today, we are celebrating victory against enemies of truth.”

Yoruba Actress Lepa Shandy & Husband Return To Nigeria From London After Marriage Crash Rumour!!!!

  Yoruba Actress Lepa Shandy & Husband Return To Nigeria From London After Marriage Crash Rumour. Popular Nollywood actress Folashade Omoniyi Adewale aka Lepa Shandy who left Nigeria several years ago to start a family has returned home after her rumoured marriage crash.
The beautiful mother of two who returned to Nigeria in May has maintained a low profile since her return.

See excerpts from her recent interview with Encomium Weekly

What has been happening to your career since you returned to Nigeria?

Have been away for like a year and also off social scene for quite a while.

Was child bearing the reason why you haven’t been featuring as much as you used to?

Lets be sincere with each other, it’s not only me. It’s the same thing with almost all my peers. As there are seasons in life so there are seasons in the industry as well. When we came in, we pushed some people out of the way, so when others came in, we also had to give them chance. I thank God of still being recognized in and outside the country. Last year when I came back, I still did some jobs before returning to the UK. I thank God Lepa Shandy has become a household identity within and outside the industry. God himself has turned me into a brand.

lepa shandy marriage crashed

Since the last two months you returned, you have been lying low why?

Yes I came in around May but I didn’t want people to know I was back. I thought I could hide a bit but unfortunately, I couldn’t. I got some invites to social functions which I tried not to attend just to get accustomed to the weather here and people around before I start attending events.

What would you say is the problem of the industry?

Piracy has always been our major problem and we have been saying this very long ago, but it seems there is no hope concerning curbing it. And as it’s rightly said, charity begins at home. For us to fight piracy and succeed, we also need to tidy our home first. Take a look at what’s happening in the Yoruba sector of the industry, we have many associations; people are not ready to work together under one umbrella. I was an advocate of one Nollywood. Now, we are still thinking of how Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), ANTP and NANTAP will come together as one and present ourselves as one association before the government.

If we work together, the better but now you can see how many associations we have in the Yoruba and English sectors. The more we are being segregated, the worse the situation of the industry is going to be. Until we come together under one body, there can’t be any way forward. We should all speak with one voice. But if some of us are fighting piracy there are some among us busy collecting bribe, how can we now fight piracy and succeed.

How would you describe your career since you became a mother?

A lot of people will think my career is dwindling, that natural, but personally I think I am going higher. It’s all about what you believe. When you achieve some things, you realize that every other thing follows. I excelled in my career before I got married. There were some problems in between, I overcame them. And I am very happy now. Left to me, happiness should matter first. I think am very okay with my home and career. I am joyous and I give glory to God

Are you saying it never took a toll on your career?

Mere looking at me now, you will know I am a very happy person and I have succeeded. Just expect something bigger from me now by God’s grace. Jobs are coming in now.lepa shandy in nigerialepa shandy back in Nigeria.

PHOTOS: Boko Haram’s Secret Supply Routes Busted

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) through its intensified and persistent efforts in the ongoing fight against Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) has intercepted over 4,000 drums and jerry cans of petroleum products and other smuggled items.

 

The items, suspected to be supplies meant for Boko Haram Terrorists, were confiscated from the smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel Bilachi, and Konkul villages located along the Nigeria-Cameroon Borders on Tuesday, 28 July 2015.

The NAF was able to achieve the recent feat through its air patrol activities, covering both land and water, along the Nigeria-Cameroon boarders.

The NAF has continued to identify and destroy BHT camps and resupplies by employing surveillance and combat aircraft. Intelligence gathered revealed that these efforts have greatly strained the supply efforts of the BHT.

Saraki’s Wife Leaves EFCC Interrogation Room Very Worried

Toyin Saraki, the wife of Senate President Bukola Saraki, left the main offices of the EFCC after more than five hours of intense questions by investigators on Wednesday. It was the second day Mrs. Saraki was grilled by officials of the anti-corruption commission about her involvement in laundering funds allegedly looted during her husband’s two-term tenure as governor of Kwara State.  

Sahara Reporters had disclosed how Senate President Saraki and his wife collaborated in looting funds from Kwara state using fictitious names of depositors. The couple also scammed numerous other banks by taking out dubious loans, and plundering funds belonging to Kwara State.

It was also revealed that Mrs. Saraki helped launder her husband’s ill-gotten cash through various shady banking transactions and by making deposits into their personal accounts.

An EFCC investigator told a SaharaReporters correspondent this evening that Mrs. Saraki “left knowing that there is a strong case against her.”

The investigator also disclosed that “many of the allegations against her [Mrs. Saraki] connect directly” to her husband, Saraki’s own activities.

A source at EFCC said Mrs. Saraki “may be asked to return again for questioning” related to the commission’s ongoing investigation into alleged theft and money laundering involving her husband and her.

EFCC would now explore issues that arose from Mrs. Saraki’s responses to investigators’ questions.

9 Best 5 Minute Butt and Leg Exercises

5 minute workouts have become increasingly popular these days. They are as effective as long and intense workouts, and they will give you absolutely new results. After all, why spend hours exercising if you can tone up your body in a matter of minutes? If your fitness goal is to sculpt your butt and legs, aim to exercise at least 5 minutes a day. These easy 5 minute butt and leg exercises don’t require a lot of space and special equipment – you can do them anytime and anywhere.

1. Lunges

 Front lunges, back lunges and side lunges are all effective exercises to tone up your legs and butt in just 5 minutes a day. Don’t expect quick results, though. When done correctly, lunges effectively work your quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings – the large muscle groups that help to boost your metabolism and drop weight. If you want to reduce fat from your lower body, doing any type of lunges (while you watch TV or during your lunch break) each day can help you reach your weight loss goal.

2. Squats

Think this exercise is too easy? Think again. Doing squats regularly gives your body amazing results. Squats help to tone up your butt and legs, as well as improve your flexibility and posture. You can perform squats in the office, while traveling or simply watching TV. Aim to do squats 5-6 days a week to shape and lift your butt, and sculpt your legs. 

3. High knees

This exercise is sure to get your heart pumping and get your legs and butt into shape. Lift your knees up and down or jump from one foot to the other lifting your knees as high as possible. Or use fitness vertical ladder rack to make your 5 minute workout even more productive. When done regularly, the exercise improves flexibility and helps to burn fat. Don’t feel like performing high knees? Squat hold is a great alternative to try…

4. Squat hold

This one is often overlooked. Probably because we believe the harder exercise, the better. A 5 minute squat hold every day will help to tone your butt, hamstrings and legs with little efforts. You can do this exercise at home or at work, as well as when traveling. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body, push your hips back, bend your knees and hold this position for 40-50 seconds. Slowly push yourself back up into your starting position.

5. Leg lifts

One of my favorite butt and leg exercises, leg lifts tighten and tone the butt and legs without any special equipment. All you need is some space and your favorite music or TV show. Give this exercise a try and you will see and feel fantastic benefits in a matter of a few weeks. I usually perform leg lifts while I watch TV or chat on the phone. It takes me even more than 5 minutes to perform this exercise, but if you are short on time, 4-5 minutes will be enough to sculpt your legs.

6. Jump squats

Adding jump squats to your daily workout routine is a surefire way to transform your legs and butt in a few weeks. Moreover, jump squats are good for your core too. Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, do a regular squat and then jump up explosively. Land and lower the body back into the squat position. When you jump, use your whole foot and don’t let the shoulders lean out beyond the knees to prevent back injuries.

7. Jumping rope

Let me guess, you haven’t picked up a jump rope since your childhood, right? Well, you are not alone. The great news is that jumping rope isn’t for children only. You can easily tone your butt and legs if you jump rope for 5 minutes each day. Not only will you burn tons of calories, you will improve your heart health as well. Jump ropes don’t cost a lot so why not buy one today?

8. Jogging

When you don’t have time for running, a 5 minute jog is a smart option to consider. Jogging not only targets your butt and legs but also other spots of your body. Jogging in moderation daily is good for your heart and weight. Aim to jog early in the morning to boost your energy levels and transform your body at the same time.

9. Jump lunges

Jump lunges are a bit harder to perform than front or side lunges, but they promise great results and have many benefits. Stand tall with your feet staggered and your left foot in front of your right foot. Bend your knees, push off the bottom of your feet into a jump, and before you land try to switch your legs. It may take a little bit of practice, so don’t worry if you can’t perform jump lunges right now.

I don’t know about you, but when I think about exercising during this season, I always try to find as many excuses to skip my workout as possible. These 9 exercises are easy and they don’t feel like exercise at all. If you perform any of these exercises (if not all) every single day, you will never say again that easy workouts are not effective. What are your favorite butt and leg exercises?

Saying “I love you too” means nothing, see why here

The word “too” has any room in relationships, especially when concerning matters of love

Relationship writer, Tim Mousseau of The Good Men Project explains why one of the most uttered phrases in history, never defines a person’s true feelings towards their partners.

 

Here’s what he wrote:

I made myself a promise a long time ago. Whenever I was in relationships, whenever I found someone significant enough that I felt comfortable saying “I love you”, I would not add the word “too.”

My reasons for this are many but mostly because I do not believe the word “too” has any room in relationships, especially when concerning matters of love. 

Look at the meaning of too, its root and principles. Too means also. Furthermore. In addition. More so. Too is not a separate clause, it is support for something already existing. Too does not require one to make their own choice or further their life by personal actions but instead is throwing oneself in support of an existing thought.

There is nothing inspiring or original about too. Too is not an action but a reaction. It follows another’s ideas and saps power from their concept. Too is the equivalent of saying ditto. Why would we ever add “too” to “I love you” then?

I love you should be a statement of power. It is something to say to another because it is meant from within the depths of our heart. When we tell someone we love them, it should be organic, brought about because we experience these emotions on a visceral level.

Love is a manifestation of feelings we speak because we have lost all other words to describe the intensity we feel in a relationship. A good I love you, spoken at the right moments, compresses all the intimacies of caring for another into a few words that can be said to sum up the deepest feelings of the heart.

I love you is often considered the end all phrases for affection. Why cheapen this powerful statement by making it an also? Saying I love you is the phrase we are add to a relationship to escalate it. It is a natural way of moving things forward. It represents the most profound feelings of affection. We shouldn’t cheapen it.

Where we are so hesitant to tell a significant other we love them the first them, no one wants to rush into that, we often seem to forget its profound significance. By the second or third time we say it, we are repeating it back to another, responding to their I love you with a “too” because we allow it to become a routine.

If you want a jump start to your relationship, if you want to do something small but new, stop saying too when saying I love you. If your partner gifts you with those words, respond if you feel compelled but never because it is the expected courtesy. (It is important that if try this experiment, you share this with your partners first so they are not taken by surprise when you don’t just openly repeat “I love you too” every time they say I love you.)

Let’s take back the power of this phrase. When someone you love says I love you, react in one of two ways.

Say you love them because you do and can feel every part of these words in this moment, not because you are vending machine that dispenses an “I love you too” in exchange for an “I love you.”

Or wait. Don’t say I love you in that moment because you do not feel it at that time. Only say I love you when you mean it fully with every visceral part of your heart.

Removing the routine of repeating “I love you too” every time our partner tells us they love us is powerful. It makes us speaking these words authentic, makes love as meaningful as the first time we were nervous and anxious about saying it. When we stop using “I love you” as a response and forgo adding “too” it means that we are saying I love you because we are acting on our own thoughts, not reacting to another’s.

Cut the “too” out of your “I love you’s.” Let’s make love less a reaction and more an action of care and hope, inspired by beauty and touching the ears of your partner like a kiss.

Saying I love you has power. The results can be wonderful once you cut out the obligation of too and focus on only speaking from the heart. Let’s not rob the power of these word by making them a further addition but returning them to an independent declaration.

Apart From Buhari, All Other APC Leaders Are Corrupt – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is on the same page with the federal government in the fight against corruption, but asked that due process must be followed to ensure that innocent citizens are not victimised.
The party, which admitted that President Muhammadu Buhari was not corrupt, however, called for the probe of All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders whom it said were the “worst corrupt set of Nigerians”.
The PDP in a statement issued by Olisa Metuh, its spokesman, on Tuesday said the clarification had become necessary to remove any misconception that it was against the decision of the present administration to probe some past officials of government because they are members of the party.
“The PDP supports the decision of the federal government to fight corruption in our country.
However, we make bold to state that it should not be used as a guise to victimize innocent citizens. Democracy has come to stay in Nigeria and no citizen, irrespective of political, religious or ethnic affiliation should be denied access to due process and the rule of law in the process,” it said.
“In the same vein, we want to state categorically that the anti-corruption war, whilst targeted at the immediate past administration should not by any means be blind to the impunity of the present leaders of the country either in terms of borrowing and spending without recourse to the statutory arms and organs of government and dictates of transparency and accountability, or in terms of nepotism in appointments in key institutions such as INEC and the DSS.
“The anti-corruption effort must not be blind to the corrupting of the security system resulting in the intrusion by over-zealous operatives on issues bordering purely on politics; the hounding, arrest and detention of resident electoral officers and members of election tribunals in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and other PDP states.
“Furthermore we make bold to state that he who comes to equity must come with clean hands. In that regard therefore, we advice members of the APC blowing the horn ahead of the cart to keep quiet because many of them have been major beneficiaries of corruption and sleazes associated with themselves and their allies, especially one of them who as a disguised errand boy of a well known APC leader is a major beneficiary of the largesse of perpetrators of corruption.
“Apart from Mr President, who for now, is not associated with any sleaze or corrupt activity in this democracy, most APC leaders are still those who as governors, ministers and labour leaders have been the worst corrupt set of Nigerians ever to bestride the political landscape of the country.
“It is a great miscarriage of perception therefore for APC leaders who are perpetrators of sleazes and corrupt acts to attempt to deceive Nigerians with imaginary holiness in this anti-corruption war by the president.
“Consequently, we counsel Mr President, as the leader of the APC to remove the log in the eyes of his party while we support his commitment to remove the speck from the eyes of others.

Chai!!! Father Poisons Baby To Divorce Wife

A 41-day-old baby, Zainab Olajide, has died after she was allegedly poisoned by her father, Kazeem Olajide, in a desperate attempt to divorcehis wife.
The incident happened at about 7am on Friday at Toluwalase Estate, Ijoko-Abule, in the Lemode area of Ogun State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the mother, Abosede Ogundare, had left Zainab with Kazeem to sweep the compound only to come back and met the baby with foams gushing out from her mouth.
It was learnt that Ogundare alerted neighbours to the incident having found a bottle containing pesticide with her husband.
Zainab was said to have been rushed to a hospital in the community, where she eventually died.
Our correspondent learnt that the suspect, who hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, attempted to flee, but was held by residents, while the landlord of the house reported the case to the monarch of the community, Oba Solomon Sokunbi.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the father was handed over to policemen at the Agbado Police Division after he confessed to the crime before the monarch.
The couple’s residence was locked up when our correspondent visited the community on Tuesday.
A resident, who identified himself only as Biodun, said Kazeem had been threatening to divorcehis wife before the baby’s untimely death.
He said, “He doesn’t love the woman and has been trying to divorceher. He poisoned the innocent baby to actualise his mission. They recently moved to this estate. She was their only child.”
The landlord of the house, who did not want his name in print, said the suspect had denied being Zainab’s father prior to the incident.
He said, “Three days before the incident, Kazeem (Olajide) was looking for a pair of his slippers. When he did not find it on time, he started raining curses. I called him by his daughter’s name, and tried to caution him, but he warned me not to call him by her
name again. It was when the incident happened that I realised he might have intentionally killed the child.”
Sokunbi, the Oba of Ijoko-Lemode, said Kazeem owned up to the act, claiming that he was pushed by the devil. He said he had been following the case to ensure that the suspect was brought to justice.
He said, “It was the landlord who came to report the case to me and I directed my chiefs to bring him and the wife to the palace. I asked the husband and he confessed. He said it was the handiwork of the devil.
“I called the police from the Agbado Police Division to arrest him. They said he had been transferred to the state command headquarters. I have been following the case. This is a pure murder case and I want the police to duly prosecute the suspect and let him face the law.”
The monarch added that Kazeem’s wife told him in the presence of his chiefs that she saw the bottle with him two days before the incident.
He said, “The woman thought the bottle contained herbs. She said she left the child with him to sweep the compound, only to return and met Zainab gasping and foaming in the mouth. She said she
smelled pesticide in the baby’s mouth.”
The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that the case had been transferred to the command headquarters, adding that Zainab’s remains had been deposited in a mortuary.
Adejobi said, “The corpse of the baby has been deposited in a mortuary. The case has been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation for further investigation.
“We have the suspect with us and he is going to be properly investigated. He and others found culpable in the course of our investigation will be charged to court.”
