CNN’s “mistake” while reporting the Kenyan College massacre early this evening.
cnn

I guess CNN is trying to pass message to some of their American viewers who thinks Africa is a country. Offcour- this can be perceieved by their other viwers as mistake. This is not the first time CNN is linking most talked about positive event to another negative one.

CNN did it again. Apparently the key identity of ISIL killer’Jihadi John’is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

CNN just can’t seem to simply help themselves. In a written report confirming the identity of’Jihadi John’on Thursday, the headlines agency accidentally took down the picture of the ISIL-affiliated killer and replaced it with a picture of Vladimir Putin.

With US State Department officials constantly saying that Russia is really as bad as ISIL, perhaps it was just a matter of time before CNN would start mistake the Russian leader for Jihadi John.

The gaffe is merely the newest in what seems just like a never-ending and hilarious group of bloopers created by the international news agency about Russia and Ukraine, the final occuring just a week ago, when CNN accidentally annexed Ukraine to Russia:

Last summer, the agency had placed Slavyansk, an area in eastern Ukraine contested by Kiev and Donetsk rebels in Crimea about 500 kilometers southwest, in Crimea, which had broken off and joined Russia.

APC Senatorial candidate looks into Fayose over victory party

See The Impressive Academic Profile Of Nigeria's Elected Vice President

Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was Wednesday the first of April 2015, declared the champ of the 2015 Nigerian Presidential races.

Indeed before the director of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega, gave the testament of profits, congrats have been pouring in.

Given the way that it is his fourth endeavor at assuming responsibility of the country, crying in the wake of losing the last time, it was a huge triumph, particularly done against a more youthful officeholder, Goodluck Jonathan.

It will however be unreasonable not to note the significance of the commitment of his running mate, Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo, in assembling the 15,424,921 votes that won vanquished the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Born on the 8th of March 1957 to the family of late Sir Adeyemi, Osinbajo is a father of three children with Oludolapo Osinbajo, a granddaughter of Obafemi Awolowo, a Senior Pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and a politician amongst many other things.

There he won several awards including; the State Merit Award 1971; the School Prize for English Oratory, 1972; Adeoba Prize for English Oratory 1972-1975; Elias Prize for Best Performance in History (WASC) – 1973, School Prize for Literature (HSC), 1975; African Statesman Intercollegiate Best Speaker’s Prize, 1974.

Between 1975 and 1978, Osinbajo studied at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) where he earned a Second Class Upper Bachelor of Laws degree. He was awarded the he received the Graham-Douglas Prize for Commercial Law.

1979 had the mandatory one year professional training at the Nigerian Law School

In 1980 studied at the London School of Economics and obtained his Master of Laws

Between late 1979 and 1980, he did his National Youth Service (NYSC) with the Bendel Development and Planning Authority (BDPA)

In 1990, aged 33, he became a Professor of Law

Between 1997 and 1999 he was a Professor of Law and Head of Department of Public Law at UNILAG

He is presently the chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of Redeemer’s University (RUN)

Osinbajo has many publications to his name and is a member of several professional bodies including the Nigerian Bar Association, the International Bar Association, the Nigerian Body of Benchers and the Council of Legal Education in Nigeria and Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

US Fighter Jets Send Message to China With ‘Emergency’ Landing in Taiwan

The arriving of two US bomber jets on Taiwan on Wednesday has chafed China’s Foreign Ministry.

While the Pentagon says the planes endured mechanical inconvenience while flying a routine preparing activity, others see it as a political message, cautioning China to moderate its developing impact.

The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 laid out strict guidelines for how the United States ought to manage the island. While Washington secretly considers Taiwan to be an autonomous country, China considers the island, just 140 miles from its shore, as its own region under the “one-China arrangement.”

China has affirmed army bases on an artificial island close to the debated Spratly islands, posturing yet another test for US abroad military, conciliatory and political impact. While the US has promised backing to Taipei, if it be assaulted, any military contact between the two is intensely scowled upon by Beijing. Which is the reason Wednesday’s arriving of two F-18s at the Tainan air base is so upsetting — and unusual.

“We have already made solemn representations to the US side,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said in a news briefing. “China demands that the United States strictly abide by the “one-China policy”…and cautiously and appropriately handle the incident.”

For its part, the Pentagon insists that the incident was an emergency situation, not intended as an act of defiance.

“Two F-18C Hornets…made a precautionary landing this morning at an airfield in southwestern Taiwan,” Marine Corps spokesman, Maj. Paul L. Greenberg,said, according to the Washington Times. “The cause of the mechanical issue which led to the precautionary landing is currently being examined. As soon as the necessary maintenance is performed, both aircraft will soon depart Taiwan.”

But the timing makes the Pentagon’ version of events highly suspect. Earlier this week, Chinese bombers underwent the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s first exercises in the “west Pacific.” The flightpath took the H-6K bombers over the Bashi Channel, a waterway between Taiwan and the Philippines.

“The ‘emergency’ landing for two F/A-18 fighters at an air base in Taiwan, while perhaps unintended, does give China a significant signal of US resolve,” military analyst Rick Fisher told the Washington Times, “two days after China used its new H-6K nuclear cruise missile bomber in exercises intended to signal a threat to US forces in Guam.”

Especially given that the fighters could have just as easily landed at the Japanese airfield on Shimoji island, only 120 miles east.

The landings also seem timely given the recent rise in aggressive American rhetoric against the Chinese government. On Tuesday, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet warned an Australian naval conference audience about China’s construction of a “great wall of sand,” in reference to the artificial islands being built in the Spratly chain.

“When one looks at China’s pattern of provocative actions towards smaller claimant states…It’s no surprise that the scope and pace of building man-made islands raises serious questions about Chinese intentions,” Admiral Harry Harris Jr. said.

These allegations of Chinese aggression in the South China Sea appear to be causing a rise in American hostility. In March, the US Senate demanded that the Pentagon develop a strategy to counter the rise of Chinese influence in the region.

Wednesday’s incident isn’t even the first example of an aggressive US air presence in recent months. In February, the US moved its most advanced spy plane, the Poseidon P-8A, into the Philippines to monitor the region

Pentagon Chief: We Might Bomb Iran Even if Nuclear Deal Reached.

As the P5+1 nuclear negotiations – ostensibly seeking to ensure a peaceful future for the Middle East – conclude, they were prefaced by a surprising announcement.

On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said that even if a deal was reached, the US reserves the right to bomb Iran.

A framework deal has been agreed upon by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, and the other participating nations. But on Tuesday, when the outcome was far less certain, Defense Secretary Carter assured the public that no agreement would entirely eliminate a more aggressive alternative.

“The military option certainly will remain on the table,” Carter said on NBC’s Today program. “One of my jobs is to make sure all options are on the table.”

Military intervention would be necessary if Iran decided to break the deal, which sought to limit the number of uranium-enriching centrifuges Tehran would be allowed to operate. If it was discovered that the Islamic Republic was operating more centrifuges than agreed upon, and using that excess uranium to develop nuclear weapons, then an attack on those enrichment facilities could, theoretically, be an option.

He also stated that any agreement “can’t be based on trust, it has to be based on verification,” and that it must be “one that keeps us and the region safe. If it’s a good agreement to have, obviously it’s one worth waiting for.”

The new framework deal agreed upon by negotiators states that Tehran will be allowed to operate a single enrichment facility in Natanz, and in exchange, all nuclear-related sanctions against the nation will be lifted.

During his appearance, the Defense Secretary also took time to address other parts of what he called the “confusing, crazy-quilt region” of the Middle East. In reference to the chaos in Yemen, Carter said the United States would continue its counterterrorism operations, no matter the outcome of the Iranian negotiations.

Carters comments came just after Arizona Senator John McCain suggested that Israel “go rogue” and resist any deal that the negotiations might come to.

“The Israelis will need to chart their own path of resistance. On the Iranian nuclear deal, they may have to go rogue” McCain said on the Senate floor. “Let’s hope their warnings have not been mere bluffs.”

McCain’s words may encourage a nation already bitterly opposed to the negotiations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been very vocal about his distrust of Iran’s intentions.

“This dangerous deal, as it appears to be emerging, bears out all of our fears, and even more than that,” Netanyahu said during a speech on Sunday, as the original March 31 deadline for a framework deal approached.

After meeting with Netanyahu on Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner announced they would put forth a bill which would require President Obama to get the approval of Congress before any deal is officiated.

'Historic Deal' With Iran finallly reached- Obama

US President Barack Obama said Thursday following a decision of the P5+1 and Iran on the framework of the future nuclear agreement after many months of talks that a “historic deal” had been reached with Tehran.

US President Barack Obama said that if the Iranian nuclear deal was implemented, it would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The long-awaited interim solution on Iran’s nuclear program was reached earlier on Thursday at the latest round of talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne. The US president said that the reached deal was an opportunity for Iran to prove that its nuclear program was peaceful. Obama said that sanctions could be re-imposed if the nuclear agreement was violated adding that the reached nuclear agreement was based on unprecedented verification, not on trust. “If Iran shifts, we will know it. If we suspect anything, we will inspect it,” US President Obama said. He added that other US sanctions against Iran that were not related to its nuclear program would remain.

“In return for Iran’s actions, the international community has agreed to provide Iran with relief from certain sanctions” —Obama #IranDeal

“The international community has agreed to provide Iran relief from certain sanctions, our own sanctions and international sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council,” Obama stated. The deadline for a comprehensive agreement has been set for July 1, 2015.

The US president, however, emphasized that the final agreement had not been signed yet.

Obama said that the reached agreement on Iranian nuclear program had prevented a new war in the Middle East adding that the approach of Washington and Tel Aviv on the the Islamic Republic’s nuclear issue differ.

“If… Netanyahu is looking for the most effective way to ensure Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, this is the best option,” he said.

“I will be speaking with Prime Minister [Netanyahu] today to make clear that there is no daylight, there will be no daylight when it comes to our support for Israel security, and our concerns about Iran’s destabilizing policies and threats towards Israel,” Obama said.

The agreement has “made the world safer,” he said.

The president quoted John Fitzgerald Kennedy saying that “must never fear to negotiate.”

The P5+1 group comprising Russia, the United States, France, China, the United Kingdom and Germany have been trying to reach a deal with Iran that would ensure the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear energy program since 2013.

Dozens of Foreign Troops Disembark at Yemeni Aden Port - Reports

Dozens of foreign troops reportedly disembarked at the Yemeni Aden port hours after Houthi rebels advanced into the southern Yemeni city.

Earlier Saudi-led coalition which has been trying to stop Houthi advances said it controls the waters around Aden.

“The number of troopers who landed in the Yemeni Aden port is unknown, but we are talking about dozens. They were covered by several airplanes. They disembarked from Saudi and Egyptian ships,” Ahmad Al-Shami, a member of Ansar Allah movement, told Sputnik. “If it is preparation for the ground operation, we would meet them with fire,” he added. Member of the Houthi political council Daifullah Shami also confirmed to Sputnik that the foreign soldiers had disembarked from Saudi and Egyptian vessels. As the fighting in the city of Aden continues, conflicting media reports are emerging with officials loyal to Hadi denying the information that foreign ground troops had disembarked at the port. “All ships carrying humanitarian aid forbidden to approach the coast of Yemen, the airspace is also closed,” he noted. A member of Ansar Allah suggested two explanations why the foreign troops disembarked in Aden. “The first one, the most welcome for us, is that soldiers landed to protect and to evacuate their citizens from Aden. The second one is that they are really preparing for a ground operaion, but we are ready to repel any attack,” Ahmad Al-Shami said. The Houthis control almost everything in Aden except for oil refineries and road junction that are controlled by the Yemeni government forces, he said. Earlier Thursday fightings between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to President Hadi have intensified in the Yemeni Aden port. Bodies were lying in the street, according to eyewitnesses. Meanwhile, at least 44 people were killed, including 18 civilians, as fierce fighting continues in the area.

Last week, an international coalition headed by Saudi Arabia launched a military operation against Houthi positions in Yemen following a request for military support from Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

The Houthis have recently taken control of the Yemeni capital Sanaa, forcing the elected president to flee the country, and making rapid advances into other cities.

Foreign countries and international organizations, including the United Nations, have been evacuating their citizens and staff from Yemen amid the intensified conflict.

25 die lost their lives, others injured while celebrating Buhari’s victory

President Goodluck Jonathan is not the True Hero Of Nigerian Democracy!

Meet the The 6 Wise Men Who Made BUHARI’s Victory Possible

The brains behind Muhammadu Buhari’s triumph is underlined by the way that this will be the first in the historical backdrop of Nigeria’s discretionary procedure when an officeholder president is crushed.

It was no little deed that was accomplished by a portion of the nation’s most noticeable political figures. Dapo Akinrefon revealed.

1. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu ( The Jagaban)

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is considered a master political strategist who guided Buhari’s aspiration to a success at the party’s national convention last year.

Tinubu was able to ensure that not only did Buhari get the block vote of the Southwest, but also ensured that many states outside the region that did not have governors in the contest supported Buhari.

After the nomination convention, Tinubu together with likeminded party members was able to weave a formidable campaign machine that put Buhari to victory. Reflective of Tinubu’s imprint in the victory was the fact that Buhari in his last three runs never made an impression in the Southwest, a region he swept last weekend with victories in five of the six states.

Despite the lures and lashes from the opposition, Tinubu stood firm in an unwavering support for Buhari that proved crucial in achieving victory.

2. Governor Chibuke Amaechi

Governor Amaechi ably steered the Buhari campaign in such a way that brought the old candidate into reckoning in ways he never had been before. The governor’s input was there in the transformation of the general in his dressing and approach to campaign.

The governor was in direct control of strategy and deployment of personnel at the campaign headquarters. He was also believed to be involved in the indirect talks with some major political players who helped to ensure the victory of the general at both the nomination convention and the general election.

3. Senator Bukola Saraki

Senator Bukola Saraki who served as governor of Kwara State before going to the Senate was also instrumental to the victory. His deployment of political and other resources not only helped in the general’s sweep of Kwara State, but also in forming bonds with other major political players in the country.

4. President Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is perceived another influential personality to Buhari’s ascendancy to Aso Rock. President Obasanjo’s behind the door counsel and patronage of Team Buhari was an open secret. He demonstrated so even in the days before the election was postponed last February when he went on an international circuit to launch his recently released book, My Watch.

He also met with market leaders in his Abeokuta office where he gave them counsel on how to vote.

However, the most strategic role President Obasanjo may have played is believed to have been in bringing international focus on Nigeria in such a way that put the defeated president in a cul de sac on allowing his subordinates to manipulate the results.

5. Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not have been seen regularly on the podium pushing for Buhari, but he was a main backer in terms of resources. Once he lost the ticket to Buhari, Atiku pushed his structure including his savvy media team headed by Mallam Garba Shehu to Buhari’s use.

The team proved to be a torn in the flesh of Candidate Goodluck Jonathan.

6. APC GOVERNORS

All the APC governors without exception backed the general. Though two of them, Al Makura in Nasarawa and Adams Oshiomhole in Edo were not able to deliver their states to Buhari, but the efforts they made was undeniable. Oshiomhole was especially a thorn in the flesh of Camp Jonathan in the last few days.
