This is the Muslim man who has been hailed a hero after he hid shoppers in the freezer of the Jewish grocery store after an Islamic gunman raided the deli where he worked. Lassana Bathily, 24, originally from Mali in west Africa, guided terrified customers to safety in a supermarket chiller at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes, Paris, yesterday. He has since been praised for his quick-thinking and bravery after 15 hostages, which reportedly included two children, escaped the ordeal, in which gunman Amedy Coulibaly was killed as he attempted to flee. Four of the hostages were killed before police stormed the building and ended the terror. Mr Bathily, who reportedly led six people to safety, told BFMTV: ‘When they ran down, I opened the door [of the freezer]. ‘There are several people who came to me. I turned off the light, I turned off the freezer. When I turned off the cold, I put them [hostages] in, I closed the door, I told them to stay calm.’ Using a goods lift he escaped and was able to give the police valuable information about what was happening inside and where the hostages were hiding. Shy and reluctant to tell his story, Mr Bathily, who went to school in Paris, itted that after the shoot-out many of the customers came to shake his hand and thank him for what he did. Today his picture – labelled Malian Muslim – has been tweeted around the world as a symbol of the good of people united against terrorism, and there have been calls for him to be awarded the French Medal of Honour for his bravery. One of the shoppers, father-of-four Johan Dorre, 36, was able to call a relative on his phone to tell him they were trapped two floors below the ground floor, where they were being held at gunpoint. As the siege unfolded his uncle offered words of comfort as he waited behind police barriers with hundreds of anxious residents of the quarter who had been evacuated from their homes. ‘Johan and the others were terrified that they would be discovered by the terrorists and were forced to huddle together like frightened animals to avoid hypothermia’, another uncle Jacob Katorza told the Daily Mail, just minutes after hearing that his nephew had been freed unharmed. ‘He was shopping for the kosher cakes and meat delicacies which we Jewish people enjoy on the holy day when he heard shots being fired above on the ground floor and immediately took cover with other shoppers in the basement. ‘Johan was to speak to my brother Haim by phone for only two or three minutes and told him to stay quiet and wait until help arrived. ‘Then we just stood at the barriers for five hours and waited for news. It was terrible- the longest five hours of my life. nigeriacamera.net/hero-muslim-shop-assistant-hid-customers-in-freezer-when-islamic-gunman-raided-supermarket/

Pa Buhari fell down in calabar stadium on 07/01/2015, as a result of fatigue, party claim it was his long cloths that tripped him. The presidential candidate of the All progressive congress (APC), Pa Muhammadu Buhari who has not being in good health condition in the last 18 months has finally cancelled his electionary campaign in Benin city, Edo state capital as a result of ill-health. On the 7th of January, 2015, the candidate, Muhammadu Buhari was visibly looking frail and weak, fell down during his campaign in Calabar as a result of fatigue, but party leader said that it was the long dress that he was given to wear that tripped him. Pa Buhari (73) was 10 hours late to his campaign in Warri, Delta state, as close Aides complained that "he was so weak this morning and needed medical attention". When he managed to reach the warri stadium in Delta state, he was received by 986 people.

The APC leadership in swift reaction to this situation has said that Prof Osibanjo, Buhari's Vice Presidential candidate will be drafted to some state, while they monitor who Pa buhari will cope with the remaining states. www.fb.com/hopefornigeria |

More light is set to be shed on Nigeria's murky oil sector as a new anti-corruption rule comes into force this week in the U.K. The UK is the first member state to implement the EU Directive on Extractive Industries, which requires detailed disclosure of a range of payments, including taxes, royalties and dividends made to governments on a country and project basis as of January 1, 2015. Directors at UK oil and gas companies could face criminal conviction and unlimited fines if they fail to properly disclose payments made to overseas governments, under the rules, which is part of a pan-European drive for greater transparency of dealings between operators in extractive industries and foreign governments. Other EU member states are set to follow the UK in July. The new laws would be a welcome development in Nigeria whose NNPC is adjudged to have the poorest transparency record out of 44 national and international energy companies, according to Transparency International and Revenue Watch Institute. Last year, the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, alleged that up to $20 billion in oil revenues were 'missing'. In a 146 page report by Nuhu Ribadu, the former head of the anti-corruption agency EFCC, covering the years 2002 to 2012, released in 2013 concluded that oil majors, Shell, Total and Eni, made bumper profits from undercutting Nigeria on gas prices. "The estimated cumulative of the deficit between value obtainable on the international market and what is currently being obtained from NLNG, over the 10 year period, amounts to approximately $29 billion," the report said. http://monitor9ja.com/2015/01/new- european-law-may- expose-nigerias- corrupt-oil-deals/ |

I was listening to an audio message CHOOSING YOUR LIFE PARTNER on my phone by Dr. DK Olukoya when he categorizes 2 types of husbands, “The Wicked Husband” and “The Godly Husband”. 1 HARD HUSBAND: This type of husband is unbending & unyielding; he cannot be corrected; he knows everything, he’s arrogant. He warns your parents not to come to the house. He has no fear, and very difficult to live with. 2 MINI (FAKE) HUSBAND: This type of husband perform very well in bed, and at the dining table, but when it is time to pay school fees , ‘I don’t have!’ come and provide for the family, ‘it’s not available’. Some of them are too lazy to work. They spend their money on strange women outside. 3 BACHELOR HUSBAND: This type of husband separates his room from his wife. He’s a single, married man. He is very selfish and self-centered. He would take his phone and talk to his friends for hours, but his wife that is sitting at home, no talk. 4 ACIDIC HUSBAND: Very hot-tempered. He is a boxer, a wrestler; very abusive. No joke, no laughing, no fun, no play, no nonsense. His house is like a military camp. He’s a lion in the house. He can slap anybody in the house. 5 SLAVE-MASTER HUSBAND: The woman is made a cook, dry-cleaner, sex machine and baby-making factory. They see the women as housemaids rather than wives. 6 GENERAL HUSBAND: This type of husband has chains of girlfriends, concubines. He spends lavishly on women. Anything in skirt, he runs after them. They even sleep with their housemaids and run after their wives’ younger sisters. 7 DRY HUSBAND: No closeness to the wife, no kissing, no romance, no love, no intimacy. The wife must knock before she enters his room. The one that abuses, insults his wife in presence of strangers and visitors. “Foolish woman is that how to give water to visitors” 8 PANADOL HUSBAND: This type is always looking for something to quench his headache. He often uses his wife as medication. “Madam, I need N5000 to buy maltex” “Madam, I want to pay the school fee of my younger brother, can you withdraw some money when you’re coming from work”. Immediately they get what they want they stop loving that woman. They are basically exploiters; always exploiting their wives to solve their problems. 9 BABY HUSBAND: These are basically infant men (Mentally & character wise). A baby husband beats his wife and rejects food because he’s angry. A baby husband is a nagging husband. A baby husband keeps malice with his wife for weeks. He threatens to push out his wife at every smallest provocation. He compares her with former girlfriends and other women. He embarrasses his wife in public and always reporting to third party. He loves his mother more than his wife. Guys, Watch out for Counter thread..lol 4 Likes |

PORTAGE, Indiana — A man was mauled to death by his own dog on Christmas Day. According to WGN, Eddie Cahill, 40, was in his home with his two dogs, Fat Boy and Keylo, Thursday. When his wife, who was away visiting family, arrived home at about 5 p.m., she found Eddie dead in their living room. He had several dog bites, and Fat Boy had blood on his mouth. Animal control officers who responded to the scene had to use a taser to get the dog under control. The family requested the dog be euthanized. Eddie’s family said they never had problems with Fat Boy before. However, a police report states she told officers the dog had been violent and unpredictable in the past. http://fox8.com/2014/12/26/man-killed-by-his-own-dog-on-christmas-day/
