  • NEWS: Fire Destroys 10 Shops In Calabar

    By Blessing Dickson

     Tragedy struck as the entire tyre section of the Bedwell Market in Calabar metropolis was yesterday Saturday 3 January was engulfed with fire destroying goods worth millions of naira.

      Ten shops including a ware house loaded with different types and sizes of car tyres were affected by the fire outbreak and about five persons were injured while trying to put off the fire.

      An eye witness recounted that the fire started around 9.am and had destroyed some shops at a particular axis of the bedwell market while few of the traders were able to recover their goods from the raging fire.
      The traders had mourned bitterly over their goods that perished alongside with the fire. They complained that the fire service men had arrived three hours later with a complaint on the inability to carry out their duties due to the unavailability of a functional vehicle.
      A trader named Sony said “I was just lucky to remove my tyres before the fire got to my shop. And I can tell you that people have lost millions of naira because most of us just ordered goods for the Christmas and the New Year.”
      A victim by name, Mr. Nkem Onyedilim, said “I am totally gone. I have lost all my life investment to the inferno. Why should such happen to us at this crucial period when some of us bought the tyres on credit?
    “This is the beginning of a new life. I appeal to emergency authorities to come to our aid, because I have lost close to N5m to the fire. Besides, my brother also is affected and we don’t know what to do right now.”

  • NEWS: Palestinian Minor Killed By Egypt Border Guards

    By Blessing Dickson

    Gaza’s health ministry confirms on Saturday the death of a Palestinian minor who attempted to pass from Gaza Strip to Egypt illegally.


    The seventeen year old Zaki El- Hobi was shot in the back through the heart.  Gaza interior ministry had condemned the incident:
    ”We consider it a grave development and excessive use of force, not in line with neighbouring relationships between brothers,” Gaza’s interior ministry spokesman Eyad El – Bezm said in a statement.
      
    This is the first incident where a Palestinian is shot dead at the border since Egypt began its establishment of a bigger zone to help fight a militant revolt in Sinai Peninsula.


     Egypt’s army spokesman released a statement on Saturday on how they have successfully prevented attempts of illegal entry of some Palestinians.


    However, Egyptian sources told Reuters that youths that came for cigarettes to sell back in the besieged  Gaza string were arrested . Egypt had destroyed 1,800 tunnels that had been used to smuggle goods into Gaza in fear of weapons being smuggled into Sinai where the Egyptians armed forces are battling a militant insurgency.

  • TECHNOLOGY: Apple sued because iPhone isn't really 16 GB

    By EYIZLE ENE-OKON

    ”If you have a 16 GB iPhone, you’ve probably noticed that you don’t really have 16 GB of storage space — some of that space is taken up by Apple’s iOS software. But you probably haven’t thought to sue Apple over it”.

    That’s the difference between you and two Apple customers in Miami who sued Apple for their incredible shrinking storage.
    The plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in a California federal court on Tuesday, and they are seeking permission to make their complaint a class action suit. They are seeking more than $5 million in damages for what they say is Apple’s false advertising.
    Apple’s new iOS 8 software takes up 3 GB of storage on an iPhone 6. That’s 19% of the phone’s 16 GB of advertised storage. The iOS 8 software takes up 20% of an iPhone 6 Plus’ storage and 21% of an iPad’s free space.
    According our correspondence; “Apple’s misrepresentations and omissions are deceptive and  as such misleads costomers because they omit material facts that an average consumer would consider in deciding whether to purchase its products,” the plaintiffs say in their complaint.
    Rather than try to cram everything into what little space they have on their smartphones, many people choose to back up their photos, videos and other content on cloud services, such as Apple’s iCloud. But the plaintiffs say that’s all part of Apple’s game.
    “Apple exploits the discrepancy between represented and available capacity for its own gain by offering to sell, and by selling, cloud storage capacity to purchasers whose internal storage capacity is at or near exhaustion,” the complaint says.
    Apple did not reply to a request for comment

  • INSPIRATIONAL: Stay Happy!

    Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to what happens to us. As such, our happiness is solely depended on us – Be Happy!

  • POEM: Love World

    By Itohowo Abasiemek


    In life we all face different challenges, go
    through problems from career(choice,
    admission, surviving in school), from finance
    (fees, bills, money to change wardrobe, cash
    to help people when you want to, the money
    to live a fulfilled life), from family(where your
    parents want you to be that “NO FAULT KID”
    forgetting that you have your own weaknesses,
    where mum n dad don’t understand you so
    they keep comparing you to your friends
    forgetting they too are not perfect, where your
    parents constantly tell you to your face you’re
    a disgrace when what you want from them
    that minute is their word of advice. You come
    back from school with lots of challenges but
    you cant dare say it out for fear of hearing
    your dad tell you, you’re a black sheep. It
    happens and just then your sibling will come
    up with a silly joke, not knowing how you feel
    about it, letting you walk the cold alone when
    what you need is an embrace).
    Yes, we go through these things and
    sometimes we feel less of ourselves and other
    times we don’t wanna live any more…
    It happens but what will giving up achieve for
    us? Do we constantly tell ourselves, “we are
    destined for greatness, i will go through this
    hurdles a winner or do we just throw our
    hands up in the air and give up? The fact that
    someone said you’re a looser doesn’t mean
    you are, what matters is what you say about
    yourself that matters…
    You deserve to be a winner, you deserve to
    live your dreams, you deserve to get that
    degree, you deserve to mount that stage with
    50000 fans cheering, you deserve to run that
    business and be successful, you deserve to
    own that orphanage and help the less
    privileged, yea.. you deserve it… so stop
    letting people weigh you down with boring
    talks, tell yourself am better than that, have
    faith in yourself, be your biggest fan even
    when no one wants to see things your way…
    be your own best friend and you shall achieve
    that dream of yours…

    A mobile phone dealer said, “These people are not just selling sub- standard phones, some buyers are selfish in their spending, they want a big phone for a relative cheap price and they get what they paid for”.
    He however agreed that some dealers still receive the appropriate price and sell out sub-standards phones to their customers but stressed that, it is because they did not buy it at the right place.
