Don’t wish us dead, you still need our mentoring- Obasanjo tells Nigerian youths

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday, appealed to Nigerian youths to desist from wishing their past leaders, including him dead, as the youths still need their mentoring and advise‎. Obasanjo made the appeal when he spoke during the Youth Governance Dialogue organized by the Youth Development Centre arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library(OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital‎.

"Don’t wish us dead, don’t wish us to disappear because you will need us. You need us mentors and advisers to mentor and prepare you for the future. You need our experience and assistance of some of us to guide you through life. You should not lose hope, you should not feel frustrated. Whenever I go, they always ask me what is my fear about Nigeria and Africa. And I said my greatest fear is youth anger, frustrations and youth explosion which have no bound. 

We have the Boko haram in the north, the MASSOB and IPOB in the South East, the militants in the Niger Delta and the Oodua Peoples Congress in the Southwest. All of these are expression of anger and frustrations. We have what it takes to be great as a nation and we can’t transform this country without the youths. My greatest hope in this country is also the youth. You the youth should work to help yourselves. You must be ready to pay the price for what you stand for,”he said.

12 years after dropping out, Mark Zuckerberg receives an honorary degree from Harvard University

12 years after dropping out of Harvard University, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg returned to pick up his degree. Zuckerberg, 33, received an honorary degree at the 366th Commencement on Thursday, May 25. 

"Mom, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree" he captioned a photo with his parents.

The billionaire was part of Harvard's class of 2006 before he dropped out to work full-time on his social networking site, Facebook.

He founded what was then called "The Facebook" in his college dormitory in 2004.

The service was at first limited only to Harvard students before expanding to other Ivy League universities. He also met his wife Priscilla while attending the school.

On Wednesday, he returned to the room where he built Facebook along with his co-founders, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes.

He is scheduled to deliver the commencement address shortly, following the footstep of Bill Gates, another famous Harvard dropout, who has delivered the university's commencement address. Zuckerberg said his speech would "share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're all building together."

3ft Japanese man who profits from looking like a child in X-rated films

24-year-old 3ft Japanese man, Kohey Nishi, who's also a computer programmer, capitalises on looking like a child in porn and earns a living by having sex with older women.

Nishi has an incurable disease called 'mucopolysaccharidosis' which halts growth and leaves him vulnerable to spinal cord injuries.


Although he struggles to stand for longer than five minutes because of his condition, it does not bother him as most of his porn shoots are in a bed. He also cannot open a plastic bottle or hear in his left ear due to the condition.

Nishi had a 'miracle' bone marrow transplant which has since stopped the disease's development. He however admits that the pressure from being famous gets to him sometimes and he struggles to sustain an erection in front of porn film crews.

Ibe Kachikwu vows to resign if Nigeria continues to import fuel come 2019

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, has vowed to resign if Nigeria continues to import fuel by 2019. He made this statement on Monday, during an interview on BBC World Service programme, HardTalk, hosted by Stephen Sackur.

Mr. Kachikwu promised to see to it that the refineries were completed to ensure that there is a future for oil in Nigeria.

He also stated during the interview that the government plans to diversify into agriculture, tourism, and other sources of revenue to solve the problem of over-dependence on oil. Mr. Kachikwu declared that 2019 has been set as the target for Nigeria to become self-sufficient in refining petroleum and put an end to its import.

He said: “2019 is the target time… I target 2019. If I don’t achieve it, I will walk…I put the date and I will achieve it."

Note that the present administration's tenure will end in May 2019, and except they are re-elected, it is unclear how Kachikwu's deadline of 2019 is going to matter. Kachikwu went on to state that he has delivered on all his promises so far.

“I have delivered on all that I have promised when I came into office. First, I took Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and made it a profit- making organization. This is the first time such is happening. I reshaped the organization. I removed cash call deficits of over $ 6 billion and renegotiated it. I will deliver on the refineries and I’m committed to it. I will deliver a future for oil that makes sense for Nigeria. I can ’t pretend that we’re going to solve in one day all the problems that happened in Nigeria in the past."

Kachikwu also answered a question regarding the state of President Muhammadu Buhari's health and stated that he did not know all the details.

“He is in London; he’s undergoing hospital treatment. I don’t know the details of that. I obviously wouldn’t know. But…he’s back in London, he ’s continued some levels of meetings.

Video shows the horrifying moment train leaves platform with man's finger still stuck in the doorway as he desperately runs alongside

A man survived what could have easily escalated into a tragedy after his finger got stuck between the doors of a train and it drove off dragging him with it. The commuter had been getting off the train when it zoomed off without warning.

The incident occurred in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province in China. The passenger had boarded the wrong train and the moment he realised his error, he jumped off quickly but not every part of him was off the train. The man can be seen in the horrific footage running alongside the moving train while shocked onlookers banged against the body of the train to alert the driver. 

The man was saved after a passenger inside the train pulled the emergency alarm and the man was eventually able to pull his finger free. An official at the station said the driver was at fault. He was meant to give an alert before driving off. The video has been shared thousands of times on social media, where users expressed their shock.

A man named Da Su wrote: "The train should have an alert system that the train shouldn't move if any of the doors is not fully closed."

Aaron Barton commented: "He's lucky he was able to get his finger out before he suffered serious injury."

Husband claims his wife was drugged and raped after she was filmed having sex with fellow contestant in a reality show

A husband in denial has refused to believe that his wife will intentionally cheat on him and is accusing TV bosses of covering up a rape. Andrej Laharnar is claiming that his wife was drugged and raped after she was filmed getting cozy under the covers with a fellow housemate.

Andrej's partner, Mirela Lapanovic, is a contestant in a Serbian reality show called Couples, which is similar to Big Brother.

In one of the episodes filmed in Serbian capital, Belgrade, viewers saw her in explicit scenes with Milutin Radosavljevic Milija, another contestant. Her husband, upon seeing the footage, was left horrified and says the production team used drugs to manipulate his partner into a sexual scene to boost viewer figures and are trying to cover up the rape. He also believes his wife's male partner in the sex scene was drugged and that drug use is rife among people involved in the TV show.

"If only they showed her the footage, she would be shocked and she would realise she was abused," Andrej said.

"The production is not allowing the contestants or the audience to talk about the terrible incident. They are trying to cover up the rape but the truth will come out."

Last year, the Couples TV show made headlines when a husband was shown on TV appearing to strangle his wife. The production team behind Couples made no comment on the incident till date.

Saudi Muslim cleric urges FIFA to ban christian players from making Christian signs on the pitch

Mohammed Alarefe, a Saudi Muslim cleric and professor of religion at King Saud University in Riyadh has urged world football's governing body, FIFA to ban Christian players from making the sign of the cross and other Christian signs after scoring.

He posted the controversial call on Twitter to his 17.4million followers, but he was quickly flooded with messages disagreeing with him.

A number of people pointed out to the Muslim scholar that a huge amount of players kneel on the ground and kiss the floor in celebration of a goal, mimicking the Islamic prayer.

Alarefe wrote: 

'I've seen video clips of athletes, soccer players running, shooting and when they win they make the symbol of the cross on their chests and my question is if FIFA's rules forbid this.'

Twitter users from all religious backgrounds were quick to shut him down pointing out that the act was an expression of joy and even Muslim players bow to the ground after scoring.

The issue of religion and football is a touchy issue in Muslim majority countries especially in the middle east.  Recently, Real Madrid revealed they will not feature the traditional Christian cross on clothing sold in some Middle East countries under a new regional deal.
