Weasel are known for their bravery as he tangled itself with a woodpecker. This image taken by Le-May narrated how he heard the distress of the wood pecker jumping up and down while still on the ground. The weasel commonly known for His bravery must have initiated an attack on the woodpecker as it does what other birds do trying to feed on ants that dwell on grounds. Le-May said the pair got about 10 feet off the ground before landing as the pair were at last able to free themselves.

The president of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had offered automatic job employment and post graduate scholarships of former national youth service corp member in the country.
He made it known during the 2014 President's NYSC Honours Award and the flag-off of the NYSC Hope Alive Programme aimed at assisting corps members who suffer permanent disabilities during their service years.
He however clarified that the awardees, to be immediately absolved into the Federal Civil Service, were those yet to be employed by their state governments.

He finally expressed that NYSC Hope Alive Programme (NYSC-HAP) which seeks to identify and recognise corps members who had the misfortune of becoming physically challenged owing to injuries sustained in the course of their national service was very dear to him.

In view of the realities that characterise the campaigns of both the presidential candidates of the leading opposition political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Major General Mohammadu Buhari(Rtd) and Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan respectively; and in view of the fact that these campaign styles can profoundly make or mar the fledgling democratic experiment going on in Nigeria; it has become extremely important to address this phenomenon, albeit, from an objective and literary perspective.
Recently, the opposition political party, namely, the APC as well as media houses have inundated the airwaves with insinuations that the presidential candidate of the ruling political party, the PDP, intends to clamp down, in a rather undemocratic way, on the campaign strides of the opposition party.
It has specifically been mentioned that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan who doubles as the presidential candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming March 28 elections and the President of the Federal Republic called Nigeria, intends to explore some unholy alternatives, as means to frustrating the APC and its presidential flag bearer in the said elections. Worthy of note is the fact that the president is alleged to be considering the postponement of the general elections further beyond 28 March, remove the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega to replace him with a stooge, do away with the use of PVCs, freeze the bank accounts of Buhari and his financiers resident in the country, ground the jet which Buhari boards for campaigns, and even assassinate of the APC Presidential candidate, Mohammadu Buhari!
Though these allegations may be dismissed as mere allegations begin for substantiations, the fact still remains that in every rumour there may be an iota of certainty. Looking at GEJ's style of dealing with dissidents like Barr. Amaechi of Rivers state, etc one could readily understand why he would resort to unscrupulous means at instances like these.
Anyone would agree with me that in a democracy, the onus lies on the people to determine who should occupy public offices, and not the elites. The reverse suggest autocracy or dictatorship; and if Nigeria professes being a democratic enclave then that tradition should be sustained. I am of the opinion that the PDP and its presidential flag bearer should allow democracy a place in our political climate.
Democracy secures freedom. It ensures that the voice of the people, which is the voice of God, should be heared without any form of mutilation. I think neither of the APC nor PDP presidential candidates would want to be seen to be opposing their Creator. If the masses say they are no more comfortable with you, they cannot all together be wrong. It does not mean you are bad, it means they acquiesce to the ideology of your neighbor. And humans, including Nigerians, they say are rational.
Allowing Nigerians the safe environment to demonstrate this rational nature, through the ballot box is the best thing that could ever happen to our democracy. We have the right to vote wisely and without coercion.
These March 28 and April 11 general elections should be adjudged to be free, fair and credible. Nothing more, nothing less!
Nigerian music star D’banj popularly known as KOKOMASTER is still in celebration mood with parties and concerts around the world celebrating his 10th year commemoration as an entertainer; however his alleged debt allegation crisis that seems to have died down has reared its ugly head up again….
In the last quarter of 2014, multiple media reports alleged that D’banj might be dragged to court by a top oil and gas industry player, Henry Ojogho, Vice Chairman of Broron Group. Ojogho, who is also the Vice Chairman of MindHub Technologies, an integrated Rice farming and milling production company, who alleged that D’banj, through his company, DKM Media Limited, obtained a loan of over N60m from him in January 2013 and has not paid back the said sum despite signing an undertaking to do so.
Following this allegation, the write of summons and other relevant documents in the suit was posted on D’Banj’s residence on Osaro Isokpan Street in Lekki Phase 1.
The pasting was done by the court bailiff on December 17, 2014 at about 1:35p.m, pursuant to order of court made on November 12, 2014 having been satisfied that the defendant was evading being served the notice.
Subsequently, the court case between the DB Records boss and Mindhub Technologies bearing suit number: LD/ADR/445/14 was scheduled to commence hearing on Monday, January 26, 2015 at the Multi-door Courthouse in Obalende, Lagos, but it was indefinitely postponed as a result of strike by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) which paralysed activities and court rooms remain closed.
The strike was recently called off by the judicial workers, and immediately a new date was set for the court case. Speaking exclusive with NET, a source in the camp of the claimant’s camp said, ‘Yes, we are back to court, and we are aware that D’banj has secured the services of a lawyer as well who wants to file in some documents in his defense, but we are yet to receive the papers.
Meanwhile the case has been adjourned to March 30, 2015 at the Multi-door Courthouse in Obalende, Lagos. In January 2015, D’banj kicked off his 10th year anniversary celebrations in Lagos when he successfully brought in American twerk queen Amber Rose to host the kick-off party in Lagos.
In February he moved the party to South Africa where he was hosted at ‘Harlem’ and ‘Kong’ night clubs with a lot of celebrities in attendance. And just last week Thursday, February 27, 2015, D’banj headlined the Industry Night celebrations in Dubai as part of his 10th anniversary celebrations where he performed alongside Kenya’s Sauti Sol, Dubai’s G Mac and others….

Diego Costa has paid tribute to his manager and believes his “will to
win” is “amazing”, after the Portuguese coach inspired his side to
Capital One Cup glory, as per Marca
“Everyone knows about Mourinho's will to win and how that shapes the
way he goes about things on a day-to-day basis. It's amazing. He tells
us to enjoy ourselves and give everything. He's our leader”
It's as though the rebuilding of the bridge is taking off on a full flight. Surely Jose Mourinho and His team will be feeling lots of confidence and also have their ego intact as they humbled Tottenham to claim the league cup in Wembley Stadium 2-0 to claim their first Trophy of the Season. Even though the League Cup is the least title in England it didn't really seem as though it was. Jose Mourinho and His team knew of how much importance this will help in the remaining part of their season to Challenge for the Champions League and the English Premier League.
So much joy was expressed as Jose Mourinho went to the ground in exhilarating mood and excitement. Chelsea are no more in the FA Cup but this League Cup victory will help restore their balance, confidence and focus. Chelsea were truly looking out of sort in the first half especially in the midfield area where Matic is known to be the commander in Chief but was missing due to suspension. But the second half was totally different ball game which saw Zouma waking up to the game and the rest of Chelsea team. This will surely be a pedestal for take-off for Chelsea this season as it this the first trophy of new Jose Mourinho era since returning to the blues.
