                         Speaking recently on the spate of bombings and attacks in the country, GO of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo said that Nigeria is on the verge of a break up.  "I hope that we are willing to find solution to it. I would be the last person in this world to believe that government has not discovered those who are behind Boko Haram. Otherwise, we don’t have any intelligence service in our country. Are they sacred cows that cannot be brought to book? Until we cut the source of their supplies and get those who are involved, we cannot stop them. But the danger is this, and I must say it here, we are at the verge of a break up. That is the truth. It’s unfortunate. The Nigerian nation is too intelligent to claim not to have discovered those who are behind this. So, I really believe it’s all in the hands of the authorities to decide whether they want to confront the issue headlong or to keep watching it until Nigeria breaks up...

The sale - 207 days since his life changed forever in a ski accident in the French Alps - is seen as proof that, whatever the outcome of his rehabilitation may be, he will never be the globetrotter he once was. Schumacher, 45, lies mute and immobile in a Lausanne clinic in Switzerland with long years of therapy ahead of him as he struggles to get back some of his old life that was shattered when he smashed his head on to rocks on December 29 last year.

                      The Nokia Lumia 520 has been around now some time and has been the best selling Windows smartphone for Nokia to date, in fact even today it still sells rather well. Even though we have new models such as the 630/635 running WP8.1 it still has much to offer and its a good starter smartphone that comes in nice colors to boo t. BUT Today we have a new entry level device and its claimed to be a powerhouse with a price estimated at around €85 plus taxes and subsidies its sure something to look out for next month when its expected to be on sale. The device also comes in a dual sim variant, we probably will not see it here in Ireland as operators do not like this option, dual sim devices are handy for traveling and if you have more than one sim to manage costs. The 530 comes packed with features such as Mix Radio, Maps, Shazam, Office, Vine, Facebook and Instagram Beta and also has up to 128gb of storage via SD card this is quite good and will be popular with pote

                            A former military Head of State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), insisted on Thursday that Nigeria had the capacity to defeat the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic sect. Buhari also noted that the sect’s activities should not be linked to Islam as being done in some quarters, adding that the sect could not have claimed to be fighting a religious cause when, they killed innocent people and destroyed worship places. He said the earlier the Federal Government realize that the Boko Haram activities were not religious but terrorism, the better.
