As per to Sani, the essence of the court martial is to emphasize discipline within the military.

The essence of this trial is to emphasise on discipline, professionalism and order. Anybody who runs foul of the law and the authorities determine that the gravity of the offence cannot be tried summarily will go for the court martial.” The soldiers are facing trial for alleged offences ranging from insubordination to disobedience to lawful orders, acts of cowardice, refusal to carry out military duties, and indiscipline, among others”he said

China Plans First Ever Landing on the Dark Side of the Moon
What lies on the dark side of the moon? The ruined civilization of our lunar forbearers? A pile of overplayed Pink Floyd records? The most exclusive Airbnb in the galaxy? China’s on the case, launching the first expedition of its kind, a journey to the moon’s untapped hemisphere.
The closest extraterrestrial body, the moon has done much to shape our history and mythologies. It’s been associated with Artemis and Greek conceptions of rebirth. It’s also connected with Chang’e, the Chinese goddess of the moon.
Hence the name of China’s latest probe, the Chang’e-4. The mission, part of China’s Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP), plans to land the probe and accompanying rover on the far side of the moon.
“We are currently discussing the next moon landing site for Chang’e 4,” Chief lunar exploration engineer Wu Weiren told China Central Television. “We probably will choose a site that is more difficult to land and more technically challenging. Other countries have chosen to land on the near side of the moon. Our next move probably will see some spacecraft land on the far side of the moon.”
The Chang’e-4 will follow the Chang’e-3, a probe launched in 2013, which carried the Jade Rabbit rover to the lunar surface. Though currently immobile, Jade Rabbit still transmits data back to Earth, and Chang’e-4 would take on a different scientific role.
Much of the Moon’s far side is covered by the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the largest impact craters in the solar system. If we associate the near side with the face of the happy-go-lucky Man in the Moon, the crater on the far side could have completely reshaped cultural mythologies if the synchronous orbit had been reversed. The Aitken basin could have made the moon appear to be an ominous eye in the sky. An ancient, eternal Big Brother. A body to be feared rather than worshipped.
It’s not called the “dark side” for nothing.
It is here that the Change-4 will land. Scientists are hoping that the same impact which formed the crater may have also partially excavated parts of the mantle. If those parts of the moon’s interior can be studied, it could offer one-of-a-kind insights into what the moon is made of and where it came from.
The basin would also be an ideal spot to place permanent radio telescopes. These could reach into the depths of space without interference from Earth’s transmissions or atmosphere.
A successful landing on the far side would also give the Chinese tremendous bragging rights. While the dark side of the moon has been observed by various probes, a landing has never been attempted, much less accomplished, largely because it’s more technically difficult.
Chang’e-4 is set to launch in 2020, but before that, Chang’e-5 will makes its way to the moon in 2017. That mission will return with lunar samples. The chronology discrepancy can be attributed to the fact that Chang’e-4 is technically the backup to Chang’e-3, and will keep that number identifier despite launching after Chang’e-5.
Beijing has also planned a mission to Mars. Set to launch sometime around 2020, that probe would also return to Earth with samples, which could be another first, depending on how the space race plays out.
Naija Gist Exclusive: Dangote stops picking Sylvia Nduka's call For Leaking Their Secret Romance
My eyes and ears were busy minding their business and reading the word of God when a strange North East wind from the lucid grapevine blew some hot gist about Sylvia and Dangote over.
Now lets start from the very beginning.
Earlier this week, the internet was agog with reports that former beauty queen Sylvia Nduka, was gearing up to get hitched to Africa’s richest man, billionaire Aliko Dangote.
The reports are true as Sylvia was actually a share holder in Dangote’s Harem. She travels to any country in the world on his luxury private jet. Gets pampered in some of the most exotic hotels and locations in the world. pricey designer labels (bags, shoes, clothes), triple measures and rolling over did Dangote make her closet.
She changed her dressing to wearing Hijabs and Burqua even though she hates covering up the Islamic way. But becoming Mrs Dangote no be beans so she embraced hijabs and was seen sweating profusely at function yet she kept the hussle on all in a bid to con Aliko into dumping others and wifing her up. When that didnt work, she consulted her beauty queen BFF and the planning went deeper
Sensing that the Oshiomhole/Iara wedding would be a good season to pressure Dangote into marriage. The ex beauty queen acting on the catastrophic advice of her friend called Ene, went ahead and leaked the fake news of an impending marriage between them. An act that did not go down well with the very conservative Dangote who allegedly warns members of his harem against publicity. The love struck Sylvia even went further by adding Aliko Dangote’s initials to her Instagram page, calling herself Sylvia Nduka AD.
.
However, she deleted it after news broke about their not-so-secret whirlwind romance and Dangote became angry and would not take her calls.
An anonymous insider added:
“She wanted to be Mrs Dangote so bad and she is willing to do anything but this latest stunt has backfired. Dude wont pick her call but she is trying hard and Very soon he will forgive her because they have something special and she lied to him that she was not behind the leak. The only problem is that she is just a small fish considering the calibre of women who make up the harem. She stands no chance”
Zimbawean woman drag ex to court for taking her virginity, getting her pregnant and dumping her
A pregnant Zimbawean woman identified as Chido Fortune Mutonhori has sued her fiancee Tafadzwa Hwehwe (pictured above) for $15,000 for breaking her virginity, getting her pregnant and then dumping her for another woman.
According to Zimbabwean website Chronicle.co.zw, Chido, through her lawyers, filed a $15,000 suit this week at the Bulawayo high court in Zimbabwe in which she stated in court papers that her ex boyfriend had broken his promise of getting married to her while they were dating…
‘after deflowering and impregnating me, Hwehwe has taken away my pride as a woman and left me embarrassed and humiliated before my own people. He will visit me in Harare during which we would have sexual intercourse and I’m now pregnant and expecting his baby. However, in March 2015, I discovered that Hwehwe has been associating with another woman…fathering a child with her”- she wrote.
She stated in court papers that she was suing him for “seduction damages” as his action has reduced her chances of having a normal future marriage .
“Wherefore plaintiff prays for payment of $10,000 in seduction damages for the period between January 2013 and March 2014 … Plaintiff claims payment of $5,000 in damages for breach of promise to marry her and the cost of suit on a higher scale,” the court paper read.
60yr old pastor nabbed with hard drugs worth 609million Naira at Lagos airport
A 60 year old resident pastor of the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim at Agodo-Egbe, Ikotun Lagos, Prophet Micheal Raji, has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA over unlawful attempt to export of 174 kilogrammes of hard narcotic drugs worth N609 million to South Africa.
Prophet Raji, believed to be a member of a drug trafficking syndicate, concealed 91kg of Methamphetamine and 83kg of Ephedrine with an estimated street value of N609 million in different foodstuffs tied in polythene bags.
According to Vanguard, Prophet Michael Raji was arrested with the drug at the cargo section of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) during pre-shipment examination.
A statement by NDLEA says he was found with three international passports bearing his name with his picture
“Preliminary investigation has indicated that the 60 year old suspect Michael Raji is a top member of a drug syndicate operating in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. The pastor had three international passports bearing his photographs. One of the passports bears the name Michael Raji while the other two bear the name Kadigun Fatah Ola. It was equally discovered that the church premises where he ministers also serves as a warehouse for narcotics,” NDLEA said. Speaking on his arrest, the NDLEA commander at the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar said “I can tell you that this suspect is a smooth operator but we have uncovered his bag of tricks. The drugs were brought to the airport for export to South Africa where it was detected. Investigation eventually traced the movement of the drugs to his church premises where he was arrested,” Hamza stated.
An orgasm per day can lower a man's risk of prostate cancer - New Study Claims
A new study claims regular orgasms can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men by 20%. And those who ejaculate 21 times a month or more cut their risk by 22%. O ga o!.
Men who ejaculate more regularly throughout their lives lower their risk of the disease. The researchers, from Harvard Medical School, did not explain why orgasms could lower prostate cancer risk. However it has previously been theorised that regular orgasms may flush out cancer-causing chemicals in the prostate.
Another theory is that if sperm is regularly cleaned out to allow new cells to develop, it helps stop the build-up of old cells that might be more likely to turn cancerous.
The prostate is a small satsuma-sized gland located between a man’s penis and his bladder, whose main function is to produce a thick white fluid that is mixed with the sperm produced by the testicles, to create semen.
The new study is the largest to date on the frequency of ejaculation and and prostate cancer.
The researchers found that men in the 40-49 age bracket who ejaculate 21 or more times a month reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 22 per cent. This was compared to men who ejaculate four to seven times a month.
While the researchers said they were unclear as to why ejaculation lowers the chances of prostate cancer, they called the results ‘particularly encouraging.’
The study followed almost 32,000 healthy men for 18 years, 3,839 of whom later were diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Men were asked about their average monthly frequency of ejaculation between the ages of 20 to 29, 40 to 49, and in 1991, the year prior to the questionnaire.
They found that the more frequently a man ejaculated throughout his life, the lower his risk of prostate cancer at all three of these points in time.
This was the case even when they adjusted their results to take factors such as diet, lifestyle and a history of prostate cancer screening into account.
Dr Jennifer Rider, of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said the results are ‘particularly encouraging’ but should be interpreted with caution.
She said: ‘While these data are the most compelling to date on the potential benefit of ejaculation on prostate cancer development, they are observational data and should be interpreted somewhat cautiously.
‘At the same time, given the lack of modifiable risk factors for prostate cancer, the results of this study are particularly encouraging.’

$20million needed to resettle displaced persons - Borno Govt
Borno state government says it needs $20million to resettle every one of her indigenes who fled the state amid assaults by Boko Haram. The delegate legislative leader of the state, Alhaji Zanna Mustapha said this while speaking with an appointment of Red Cross International drove by the President of Red Cross today May 19.
“We, the government and good people of Borno State, want to use this opportunity to thank you (Red Cross), NEMA and other donor agencies for supporting us in this our trying moment. Twenty-two out of the 27 local government areas were destroyed, over million IDPs are living in Maiduguri, the state capital alone.
Just yesterday, we received another batches of 4,500 IDPs from Geidam, who were sent away by the government of Niger Republic and more are still on their way to Maiduguri. Borno State needs over 20 million dollars to resettle its people that were displaced as most houses, business centres and places of worship were all destroyed by the insurgents. Though, the military has liberated 97 per cent of the communities taken over by insurgents in Borno, it will take time for the government to fumigate and diffuse the landmines before they are relocated to their various communities.”he said

World Exclusive: Checkout the Brain Behind Jesus of Nazareth
I studied history in college, and spent a lot of my time researching ancient civilizations and comparative religions. As an agnostic, I am fascinated by religion and the idea of faith and belief, across all religions spanning the entirety of human existence. Some of the most fascinating projects that I did in college involved comparing ancient mythology to modern religious beliefs, finding similarities and multiple parallels. For example, anyone who has ever read The Epic of Gilgamesh will know that many biblical stories are plucked straight from the story, including the flood myth and the virgin birth myth.
Historians and religious scholars know that religious texts are made up of a series of myths (that’s not to say they are not true, but just that they are mythical stories). These myths appear across different religions and eras, and the same stories repeat themselves over and over again throughout history. Today, I will present to you five near-identical “Jesus” myths that predate Jesus Christ.
Please note that many of these stories have differing translations and interpretations, some of which tell different stories. The main idea of this list is to remind you that the story of Jesus Christ is rooted in ancient myth.
1. Horus (3100 B.C.)

Horus was one of the many Egyptian Gods. This is probably one of the best-known and contested deities that is often compared to Jesus Christ. Some translations and Egyptian myths say that he had 12 disciples, and was born of a virgin in a cave. His birth was announced by a star, and was attended by three wise men. He was baptized at age thirty by Anup the Baptizer. Horus performed miracles, including rising at least one person from the dead and walking on water. He was crucified, buried in a tomb, and resurrected, just like Jesus Christ.
2. Buddha (563 B.C.)
Photo courtesy of Wikimedia
Buddha’s mother, Queen Maha Maya, had a dream that a white elephant with six tusks entered her right side, impregnating her. As was tradition in this time, the mother left her husband’s kingdom to give birth near her father. She did not make it the entire way, though, and gave birth while traveling. Buddha was born in a garden beneath a tree. In addition to this birth story, Buddha, like Jesus, also performed miracles, healed the sick, walked on water, fed 500 men from a single basket of cakes, was transfigured on a mount, and taught chastity, temperance, tolerance, compassion, love, and the equality of all. There are also some texts that say he was crucified, spent three days in hell, and was resurrected. That is not what killed him, though, as he died in his old age from what is believed to be food poisoning.
CONCLUSION
The brain Behind Jesus is someone like me and you.. Some crooks decided to form their own God (The Israelites if you ask me) so as you have other gods and other histories. The Greek gods – the 12 Olympians – Zeus ,Hera ,Aphrodite… and these gods were very popular during the Great Greek empire. We all know that Empires come and go starting from the Kush empire, Egyptian to Persian empire, followed by Greek Empire. Then you have several empires after that. The Oyo empire is no exception to this rule either and I will explain.
Now my point conclusion is; each of these empires had their own god(religion) at some point and they were able to market it to nearly all the territories they managed to conquer either as a form of missionary or some how. In most cases empires always come with their own mythology or idea of religion. And you may agree with me that the fall of an empire could eventually lead to the weakening or even the fall of its religion here, history is being changed and the newest empire tends to either market its own form of religion to the conquered zones.
Here Religion is only a tool to controlling the masses idleness not only that but also a way to create fear in them to thinking there is some life after death or there are consequences to every bad you /they do.( makes sense if followed but the opposite is what we get today)
Religion is also a way or tool to gathering more allies or otherwise potential puppets serving the interest of their host first instead of that of the National interest or the direct interest of the masses. (Here if you ask any Christian in Nigeria which side would you be if by tomorrow a war starts in Isreal and you were told to choose ?? The same thing if you ask any Muslim, what side would be if by tomorrow war starts in Saudi Arabia for example.. Both will choose the religion they practice first.. These are the potential puppets I was referring too in my 2nd definition of religion )
The same thing if you ask those still practicing IFa religion in Brazil,Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina about which side will they support in Nigeria if war break out tomorrow.. They will tell you the Yorubas..
Today, you have a combination of Anglo-Zionist Empire ( This is Anglo America +Anglo Saxons + The Zionist) coming under one umbrella to try to rule the world. (Make no mistake even the Saudi Arabia that some sunni Muslims may call their second home is now a permanent Puppet to the Anglozionist empire) Since the fall of Oyo Empire, Ifa religion( Plus about 402 Orisas) has been weakening or falling too much because a newer empire prevailed. The same thing you can say about the fall of the Greek empire, their religion also followed the same faith.. It became unknown and the latest empire’s religion prevailed as well
It will only take a very strong country not to lose its traditional values to a foreign one or the latest empire.. Here in Nigeria, the foreign religion is being marketed in all the Movie industries. Here they tend to portray the religion of Ifa ( Usually by going to a chief priest, Babalawo) as bad while the those going to Pastor or calling Jesus and Allah or Muhammed as Good.
It reminds me of this Episode. The Zion film (MOUNT ZION) being sponsored from America. I am not sure if they are still showing the program on Nigerian Tv. What vexes me the most is these empires in their territories already created some level of political correctness and are still creating more. So this makes it difficult for an outside or a new religion to take over an enclave in which was built on a particular religious principles.
