Game Of Thrones Season 6, Episode1: A Shuffling Of Alliances

In the season premiere, new groups of murder-fun are established, the Red Woman may no longer be red, and Jon Snow stays dead. For now.

First across the sea, in Meereen and the wider world of Essos, Tyrion is back pal-ing around with Varys, and while they don't do much but fret about the state of Meereen now that Dany has gone missing, there really isn't a better source of wise-ass philosophizing in this entire show. It's very West Wing. Kind of. Then, in the outlying fields and mountains, Dany's spurned lover, Jorah, and actual lover, Daario, are on the hunt, following the path of dragon-scorched rams and thoughtfully cast-off rings and hoping to find their dragon-riding queen. It's kind of like CSI: Medieval, or that bit of The Two Towers where Merry and Pippin get carried off by orcs, or even the beginning of The Witcher 3 where Geralt is on the hunt for Yennefer. You get the picture. A good hunt is fun stuff. Also, Jorah is on his way to becoming a Rock Zombie.

Finally, Dany herself: The former Khaleesi is now the prisoner of another Dothraki Khal that has, like, zero respect for her. (But like, with a squad that cracks a million more jokes than the first Dothraki Khal's. Seriously. They even do a whole "what is best in life, Conan"routine and everything.) Things look bad for her, until they find out she is the wife of a fallen Khal. Then they become less bad but still awful—because the wives of fallen Khals are sent to a temple where other widows sit and mourn for the rest of their days.

In Westeros proper, the shuffling continues: Theon/Reek and Sansa flee the Bolton men, only to be cornered and saved by the Honorable Badass Gwendoline Christie, a.k.a. Brienne of Tarth. She and her squire, Podrick (who is learning to be a bit of a sword-swinging badass himself) save Sansa and Theon, and she swears fealty to Sansa in what's probably the sweetest and most moving scene in the premiere. Anyway, it's the start of a new squad, and I'm all about these women and the men who serve them seeking revenge on the world. (Also, where the hell is Littlefinger?)

King's Landing is probably the least exciting of the bunch. Cersei and Jaime reunite, with all forgiven between them since they have the grief of another lost child (Myrcella, poisoned in Dorne) between them. Margaery Tyrell is still locked up by the Slut-Shaming Sex Police. And that's about it. Then there's Dorne, where some wild shit goes down as Doran Martell—who has refused to avenge his brother, Oberyn's, death because he'd rather swallow his pride than fight the Lannisters—is viciously killed, along with his son, by the Sand Snakes. Dorne, then, is now run by a badass trio of hardcore lady types, and Ican't wait to see what they do next.

But really, the most interesting stuff is happening up on The Wall, where Alliser Thorne and his officers openly admit to the Night's Watch that they killed Jon Snow for opening their doors to the Wildlings. While many of the watchmen are furious about this, most seem okay with it eventually, and the notable holdouts hunker down in a room with Davos and Jon's corpse and direwolf, who all have until nightfall to fall in line. It doesn't look like Davos will do that. Instead, he's going to put his faith in the Red Woman. A Red Woman who looks rather despondent and hopeless as she strips naked and removes her necklace and whoa, she's REALLY OLD.

Can we talk how much SWERVE there is in that last scene? It's like Game of Thrones said, Hey, you like seeing boobs, right? You thought we forgot about the boobs? Don't worry, bruh, we got some last-minute boobs here...JUST KIDDING, they are old crone boobs. HOW DO YA LIKE THAT, YOU PERVS.

Nigerian Troops Discovers Boko Haram Bomb Factory

Nigerian troops on Friday discovered a Boko Haram factory bomb making factory, an official has said.

The spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Sani Usman, said soldiers from the 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade, discovered the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) factory in Ngala town, North East Nigeria.

Mr. Usman, a Colonel, said the insurgents continued to use IEDs to attack civilians and soldiers despite being losing the battle.

“Despite ongoing clearance of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, they persistently hid the IED-manufacturing factories location,” he said.

“However, that would be no more, thanks to the efficient intelligence and resilience of our troops.”

He added that soldiers acted on intelligence reports to locate and destroy the bomb-making factory and that some Boko Haram members were killed in the process.

Mr. Usman said the troops recovered 20 gas cylinders of various sizes prepared and ready for explosive insertion, primers, gun powder, electric wires and tape recorders, amongst other items.

“It is heart-warming to inform the public that troops in various parts of the theatre of Operation Lafiya Dole are doing well and their morale remain very high,” he said.

The military has in the past year recorded major victories against the Boko Haram who at some point controlled vast amount of territory in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states. The insurgency has caused the death of about 20,000 people since it began in 2009.

OAP Freeze Writes Open Letter To Tiwa Savage

Freeze has published an open letter to Savage. See the full text below:

“Dear Tiwa,

“I have nothing but love for you, but after I watched all 45 mins of your interview…. ..Tiwa, I know it hurts when a relationship breaks down, and those accusations T Billz made were extremely hurtful, nonetheless, I believe you could have employed caution when responding, since according to you, he was unstable and suicidal.

“In law, if for instance, you walk in on your man in bed with another woman and you shoot him on the spot, you could get a lighter sentence, if your legal counsel argues provocation. On the flip side, if you walk out of the scene to get a gun and then launch an attack, it’s now considered premeditated.

“The fact that you granted a ‘pitch perfect’ interview, with a flawless visual background and superb audio quality, in my opinion looks a bit premeditated"

“If you had denied all his accusations and asked to swear on ayelala or amadioha or sango as against the lie detector test, since on no instance has a polygraph ever been used in Nigeria, and if afterwards you had requested for privacy, as you deal with such a sensitive issue, this matter would have been laid to rest. How are you going to tell Nigerians not to talk about issues you ‘used your own hand’ to make public? This could only serve to further delay your healing.

“Even though my prayer is for your issues to be resolved and for joy to return to your home, the breakdown of a marriage is not the end of the world, I have been through it and my world did not end. However, do you realize that the interview you gave could lead to the end of TJ’s world? Who is now going to hire, work with, or have any business dealings with an unstable, adulterous, fraudulent, cocaine sniffer who cannot manage money and has his priorities misplaced? Whether you like it or not, that is what the interview has delineated him to be. In furtherance to this, if he was suicidal before, this interview is only going to make him even more suicidal!

“I know you both love Jamil so in all this drama, lets be very careful to shield him, as the Internet never forgets and his friends and classmates will always have his father’s tweets along with your interview as points of reference.”

It should be noted that Freeze in his previous comment on the matter characterized Tunji Balogun as “the most romantic husband and lover” and a wonderful person who’s reached out to him several times in the past showing support.

Tunji Balogun Continues To Blast Wife, Tiwa Savage on Instagram.

 Tunji  'Tee Billz' Balogun has not stopped his rant against his wife Tiwa Savage.
In a fresh rant Tee Billz wrote "I hope the fucking in Tiwa savage brand brings you peace. I used my money, soul and everything I hAd for you and everyone knows how I hustled hard with passion for you to get to where you at today" on his Instagram page.

He ended his rant with a curse. "You will never find peace with your career" he wrote. On Thursday, April 28, 2016 Tee Billz has made several accusations against his wife and his mother-in-law who he says is a witch.

"I'm sorry Olabisi, Gaetano. Onah and jamil. All daddy wanted to do is be a good father and take care all of you but they won't let me. I have been fighting this spiritual battle since I was a kid my mother and father can testify. Went from family battle to mother inlaws battle. @tiwasavage ask your mother to confess what she's done to me."

At the end of his rant Tee Billz left a chilling statement on his Instagram.  "I'm sorry i must have disappointed you guys. I just dint have the strength to fight this battle any more. May God Forgive me and accept my soul in peace."

After reading this statement, Banky W who was Tee Billz's best man at his wedding pleaded for him not to take his life.  "TJ Pleeeeease please call me back right now bro please."

Oba Of Benin Dies At 92

 The announcement was made on Friday by the Iyase of Benin, Mr Sam Igbe, with significant breaking of the native chalk at the Ugha Ozonolua pavilion within the palace in Benin City, the capital of Edo State.

After the official announcement,  the Crown Prince, Eheneden Erediauwa, returned to Edaiken in Uselu for the continuation of the ceremonial rites that must be performed before he would ascend the throne.

Oba Erediauwa was crowned Oba of Benin on March 23, 1979.

He died at the age of 92.

 Breaking of the native chalk is a significant part of the rituals performed when an Oba of Benin joins his ancestors.

The Leopard Is Ill

In early 2015, his death was rumoured, but the Benin Traditional Council dismissed the rumour.

It, however, announced that the Oba of Benin was indisposed and would not be available for public engagements until further notice.

The announcement was contained in a statement by the Secretary of the Benin Traditional Council, Mr Frank Irabor.

The statement read: “It is hereby announced for the information of the general public that in the Palace parlance, ‘Uhunmwun ve Ekpen vb’ Ato’, meaning the Leopard is ill in the Savannah bush.

“The explanation is that Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Erediauwa, CFR, Oba of Benin is indisposed.

“Public engagements including courtesy visits, hearing of complaints from individuals, families and communities, and in particular, complaints over inheritance and land disputes are therefore suspended until further notice”.

The rumour spread further after former President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign train tried to reach the Oba but could not.

Friday’s announcement of the Oba’s departure showed some traditions that most young Benin indigenes had not seen in over three decades.

With a small local gong, the members of the Traditional Council, whose duty it was to announce the Oba’s departure, moved around specific areas of the city, making the news known. 

A chief in Benin Kingdom with a local gong announcing the death of the Oba of Benin Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolopkolo Erediauwa I

In Africa tradition, a Kings departure is not made known immediately, but delayed until the Traditional Council reaches a decision on it.

His Royal Majesty Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I was the 38th Oba of Benin.

Oba Erediawua took on the title and duties as traditional head of state and rightful heir of the extinct Benin Empire when he was crowned, succeeding his father, Oba Akenzua II, in a ceremony held in Benin City.

Before he was crowned, he was known as Prince Solomon Aiseokhuoba Igbinoghodua Akenzua.

FG Condemns Attack on journalist.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, made the statement on Friday in Abuja at the 2016 Federation of African Journalists Conference.

He said that “President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration does not pose any form of threat to the media in Nigeria”.

The Minister assured journalists of the government’s commitment towards ensuring their safety in the course of discharging their duties.

He appealed to media establishments to also ensure the physical safety of their personnel across in Nigeria.

In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Mr Abdulwaheed Odusile, commended the delegates of the Federation of African Journalists for upholding the unity of Africa.

Beyonce Sings About Cheating Lover in Lemonade Album

Is designer Rachel Roy the mysterious "Becky" Beyoncé references in a new song about a cheating lover?

The pop star debuted a new visual album, Lemonade, on HBO Saturday, and later released the songs on Tidal. The record includes several tracks about infidelity and other relationship issues, including the track "Sorry," in which she sings, "I see them boppers in the corner / They sneaking out the back door / He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair."

Roy had reportedly spurred a confrontation between Beyoncé's husband Jay Z and her sister Solange Knowles in a hotel elevator in 2014. Leaked surveillance video of the incident went viral.

"Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always," Roy wrote on Instagram after Lemonadeaired. "Live in the light #nodramaqueens"

Naturally, the Beyhive was buzzing after Roy's comments. She soon made her Instagram account private.

"I respect love, marriages, families and strength," she tweeted Sunday morning. "What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind."

In the 2014 elevator clip, Solange is seen yelling and attacking Jay Z. A source told E! News at the time that "Rachel was being flirtatious" with the rap star at the gala.

"Beyoncé approached Rachel to let her know the behavior was disrespectful and she wanted her out of their lives for good," the source added. "Solange came over to have her sister's back, and things got heated with her and Rachel. Jay said some disrespectful things to Beyoncé and Solange as the confrontation was going down. That's why all hell broke loose in the elevator and why Beyoncé just stood back and let Solange hit Jay."

Roy, Jay Z, Beyoncé and Solange have not commented. The couple has never confirmed or denied cheating rumors.

Jay Z does appear in HBO's Lemonade mini-film—at the end, as Beyoncé sings about forgiveness.

Boko Haram Now Gives Loans To Youth As Bait For Membership

In this clandestine dispensation, Boko Haram terrorists have resorted to providing loans to young entrepreneurs and artisans in the North East as a way of inducing them for recruitment.

The major targets of the unholy business engagement are youths in the North East, especially the butchers, traders, tailors, beauticians and other vocational entrepreneurs who could be easily enticed with such loan without paying attention to sundry inherent dangers associated with the acceptance of such goodies from this satanic group or unfamiliar source.  After such loans, the beneficiaries are given the option of either joining the group or risk being killed if they fail to pay the loan as at when due, whereas the payment has been surreptitiously programmed to fail by the benefactor, the Boko Haram.

It is pertinent to state that having been effectively decimated and degraded, the remnant or surviving splinter groups of Boko Haram are desperate to recruit more people into their ranks and files as a result of sustained onslaught against them by the troops.

The Defence Headquarters hereby advises the general public, especially those in the North East, to constantly be weary and conscious of various tactics of the desperate Boko Haram.  

They should be guided to avoid loan or financial assistance from non-conventional source but from conventional financial institutions such as banks, organised trade unions or institutionalised savings and loans establishments.  

Acting otherwise may lead to painful and untimely death from the blood-thirsty Boko Haram terrorists.

“It’s for my two cement companies that we are establishing in Nigeria.”

The deal included China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure).

Few days ago, Dangote Group held a ground-breaking ceremony of a cement plant in Okpella in Edo state, south-south Nigeria.

It has an estimated production of six million metric tonnes of cement per annum.

Addressing a gathering at the ground-breaking ceremony, he said the one-billion dollar investment would create massive employment.

Brussels Bombers Had Plan To Attack France Again.

The militant cell behind bombings in Brussels had been plotting to hit France again after carrying out the Paris attacks in November, but was forced to strike closer to home as police closed in, Belgian prosecutors said on Sunday.

Investigations into the Islamic State attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people, showed that many of the perpetrators lived in Belgium, including surviving suspects who managed to evade police for more than four months.

Prime suspect Salah Abdeslam was arrested on March 18 in the Belgian capital. Four days later, suicide bombers killed 32 people in Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train.

“Numerous elements in the investigation have shown that the terrorist group initially had the intention to strike in France again,” Belgium’s federal prosecutor said in a statement.

“Surprised by the speed of progress in the investigation, they took the decision to strike in Brussels.”

Belgian intelligence and security forces had been criticised abroad for not doing more to dismantle the militant cell, because of its links to the Paris attacks.

As of Friday, all publicly identified suspects were either in detention or dead, but Belgium remains on its second highest threat level, and Prime Minister Charles Michel said his government would remain alert.

His comments were echoed by French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who said France would not be lowering its guard.

“This is a further sign of the very serious threat facing Europe as a whole and of course France in particular,” Valls told a news conference in Algiers.

Abdeslam, born and raised in Belgium to Moroccan-born parents, told a magistrate he had planned to blow himself up at a sports stadium in Paris in November, but backed out at the last minute. His brother Brahim blew himself up at a Paris cafe.

Another man linked to the Paris attacks, Mohamed Abrini, was arrested in Brussels on Friday and admitted to being the “man in the hat” captured on video walking into Brussels airport alongside two suicide bombers.

Abrini, 31, has been charged with terrorist murders, prosecutors said.

Another main suspect who was seen alongside the suicide bomber in the Brussels metro, identified by prosecutors as Osama K, was also arrested on Friday in the Belgian capital.

Osama K, 28, widely named by media as Swedish national Osama Krayem, was filmed buying the bags used to carry the Brussels bombs.

Riddle for the Night

There is a bomb  just beside a pool in a building... counting down to explode... But only a 4 litres weight of water can defuse the bomb. Provided,  is a not calibrated 5 litres jerrycan and 3 litres jerrycan. How can you get this 4 litres of water with these jerrycans?

Nigerian Government Bans Top Functionaries from Flying First Class

The Nigerian government has banned top functionaries from flying first class whenever they embark on official trips in a bid to reduce overhead costs.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, said that the ban would reduce air travel expenditure by 20 per cent and save the government about 13.88 billion Naira.In a statement issued on Thursday by the office of the Finance Minister on Wednesday, all government officials would have to travel on business class section.

Mrs Adeosun explained that the development was one of the recommendations made by theEfficiency Unit, which was set up last year to reduce overhead expenses.

She also recommended a reduction in travel frequency by ensuring that meetings, workshops and conferences in Nigeria are held in locations where the institutions or persons participating in the event are domiciled.

NYSC Denies Reduction of Corps Members Allowance.

The management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Tuesday denied social media reports of a 25 percent reduction in corps members allowance.

The NYSC in a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Relations of the Scheme, Abosede Aderibigbe said the statement is false, mischievous and a figment of the writer’s imagination

The statement reads in parts, “The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to a statement being circulated in the Social Media about a purported reduction in Corps members’ allowance by 25 percent.

“ Management wishes to inform Corps members and other members of the public that the statement is false, mischievous and a figment of the writer’s imagination.

“Corps members, in particular, are hereby enjoined to disregard the rumour and remain focused as they continue the service to their fatherland,” statement said.

Suspected Boko Haram members Arrested with poisoned Fish.

The Nigerian Army 3rd Brigade troops deployed on Operation Salama in Jigawa State North-West Nigeria have intercepted and destroyed poisoned fish allegedly brought to the region by suspected Boko Haram terrorists from Baga in Borno State.

Addressing reporters after the destruction, the Brigade Spokesperson with Headquarters in Kano, Captain Eze Ikechikwu, said that 11 suspected were being interrogated.

Following the repeated attacks on Boko Haram fighters by troops attached to Operation Lafiya Dole in the Northeast, Boko Haram is said to have devised another means of attacking members of the public through a sort of traditional biological weapon.

According to the Army Spokesperson, 80 bags of assorted poisoned fish was apprehended in Hadeja Local Government Area of Jigawa State with intent to sell it to unsuspected members of the public in the North West region.

Captain Eze said that after all the necessary examination on the fish, the Army found it poisonous, hence would not be allowed to enter markets in the region, stressing that 80,000 naira and 11 mobile phones were also recovered from the suspects.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army is urging members of the public to remain vigilant on most of the frozen fish they purchase from their respective markets to avoid being victims of Boko Haram’s innovative biological weapons.

He urged them to report suspicious food items to the nearest security formations.
