The
Nigerian Army has introduced new technologies and application of drones
in the fight against terrorists in the northeast. Lt. Gen. Tukur
Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), disclosed this while fielding
questions at a dinner and media interactive session organised for
editors and defence correspondents in Maiduguri on Saturday. Buratai
said that applications of drones and new technologies were critical in
modern warfare to ensure successful implementation of the counter
insurgency campaign. He disclosed that the army had utilised drones in
surveillance and research, adding that the process was effective in
execution of its operations against the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents.
Buratai said: “now, even the uniform is technology-based, it will be
tagged wherever you are; it sends signal when you are in danger, and
these issues are very important. “Technology is playing important role
in warfare and we are not left out; we have in place a transformation
and innovation department. “The department is working on research and
developments not only on basic equipment but equally more scientific and
technological facilities to enable us to carry out our operations. We
are also working on deployment of drones; the Nigerian Air Force has
been deploying drones in our operations in the northeast and they are
deploying more, it has been very effective in this operation. “For
surveillance, local drones are deployed and when new ones are also
deployed, it will be effective and useful in the operation”. According
to him, the military has also deployed modern military hardware,
rehabilitated office and house accommodation, clinics and executed
viable projects for the improvement of personnel welfare and boost their
morale. Buratai added that the military would equally deploy modern
scanning machines to check vehicular movements and enhance security on
high ways. The army chief called for closer media-military relation to
check the spate of terrorists’ propaganda and campaign of calumny
against the Nigerian Army.

Born
in a rustic environment of 13 Odunaike Street, Ilasamaja, Lagos State,
December 23rd, 2002, young Chosen was not born with any spoon: golden,
silver or wooden. But, through dint of Divine Enablement and Grace, she
became a household name, found her way to practically all the continents
of the world. The Almighty God has used the Pastor of the Lord's Chosen
Charismatic Revival Ministries - Pst Lazarus Muoka and our beloved
Mummy in the Lord - Mummy Joy N. Mouka, to return lost glory to the
Church of Christ. The glory of the Church is to make, Heaven at Last.
In
a world where people stand on the popular side or the take the
convenient path, The Lord's Chosen refused to follow suit, she deployed
the instrumentality of the Scriptures, she stands for both holiness and
prosperity; faith and righteousness; signs and wonders as well as
Soul-winning but never standing for one at the the expense of the other.
For her, the Gospel must serve all purposes, without prejudice to
primordial interests or sentiments. She believe that starving people of
some aspects is tantamount to Spiritual kwashiorkor, and eventual death.
She came like a breeze of fresh air on hot Harmattan day. In a world
swarming with all kinds of hypocrites, sycophants and merchants, who
blend with the winning crowd, you always know where The Lord's Chosen
stands and where you stand with her. Having a unique visions and
mandate, she is undaunted in following it up to the later. As she grew
in stature, her enemies grew in envy. Yet she brushed aside their
vitriol and falsehood. Countless frivolous attention-seeking petitions
which reached its apogee in 2013 failed to distract her. She responded
to them whenever she had to in the call of her duty. She was a great
communicator, not because she studied Mass Communication but because she
had a great message to communicate and she knew how to use words and
gestures to uplift and inspire.
Sixteen
years down the line, The Lord's Chosen has done extremely well, rising
from obscurity and excruciating counterattacks into fame, exploits and
prosperous acclaim. Sinners in their million have been saved. The sicks
have been healed. Barrenness of many years were crushed. Last year -
2017, God used our beloved Daddy to raise the hope of one family who
have been barren for 32 years, they were blessed with 2 bouncing baby
boys. Also, on September 5th 2017, God used our daddy to CANCEL
RECESSION which the country has been in. Isn't God wonderful?
To
be candid, we've lost counts of the great wonders of this Great God. We
are saying, "It is only God that can do this in this short frame of
time. A number of persons have become polygamists because they want to
deliver responsibility; others have become Cultists and Ritualists
because they want to deliver responsibility; some have become liars and
criminals because they wish to deliver responsibility; others are
initiated by consent and some without consent in an effort to deliver
responsibility. If all these aforementioned classes of people should
perish without repentance, their abode will be hell fire.The General
Overseer of the Lords Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has
demonstrated in these 16 years under God, that the power to live right,
succeed and yet make heaven at the end of this life, is in Christ Jesus.
By the mercy of God, through the ministrations of the Pastor of the
LORD'S CHOSEN, men have deciphered the pattern to adopt and thereby
qualify for the rapture of the Saints.
In
the Church of Christ today, Heaven has become real and there are
substantial evidence to prove. On this occasion of the 16th anniversary
of the Lord's Chosen, we thank God for the very big treasure given to
all the Chosen People in this Ministry and beyond. Your servant, our
Pastor is a great gift to mankind. We pray and ask that you grant unto
him, the grace and garment of unchangeable priesthood in Jesus
name. Brethren and our well-wishers, join us and celebrate ; 16 years of
unstaggered commitment to the Call and Vision, 16 years of uncommon
healing, deliverance and salvation to humanity, 16 years of colorful
apron evangelism all over the world, 16 years of unquantifiable signs
and wonders all over the world, 16 years of record breaking church, as
the fastest growing in this 21 century, 16 years of putting smile, joy,
peace, happiness and prosperity to humanity, 16 years of unstoppable
revival, 16 years of charismatic eloquence, 16 years of acrobatic and
locust invasion evangelism, 16 years of unhindered church planting all
over the World, 16 years of record breaking revival church in the
history of churches and 16 years of grass root revival all over the
world. We're using this medium to invite everyone to our big time

Following
reported complaints of burglary and stealing in Yenagoa metropolis, the
Commissioner of Police Bayelsa State Command, CP Aminu Pai Saleh
charged Tactical Commanders and Divisional Police Officerss to intensify
their operations to curb the menace. On December 21st, Policemen
arrested one Joshua Teboda 20yrs, Ayebatoyefa Godspower 18yrs Biekuromo
Godspower 16, and Evans Obuju 21 years, all males of Trinity Church road
Agbura. . Items recovered from the suspects includes: two 60 inch
plasma televisions, two LG sound speakers, two pressing iron, two DVD
players, one battle axe and other household items. The suspects
confessed to the crime and were linked to other robbery cases in Yenagoa
metropolis. Investigations is ongoing and they will soon be charged to
court.
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, has reacted to claims
made by Union bank that the $2.8 million its operatives seized from two
men at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu last Friday
December 21st, was legitimate and was for a legitimate operation.Recall
that on Friday, EFCC released a statement saying it had seized the money
from the men and that a case of money laundering was being
suspected.Union bank in a statement claimed ownership of the funds,
adding that moving money in such a manner was not illegal and was a
routine.Also the Bankers Warehouse, a cash-in-transit contractor whose
officials were moving the funds on behalf of Union bank, has written a
letter to the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN saying that it did nothing
illegal and asked the apex bank to compel the EFCC to release the
money.“We want to convey to you that once again, we are facing a
challenge with one of the security agencies (this time the EFCC) which
detained our couriers while trying to board an Arik Air flight from
Enugu to Lagos, conveying currency on behalf of Union Bank. They were
transporting US dollars.When questioned, they presented their identity
cards, identifying themselves as Bankers Warehouse employees on official
CIT movement and also presented the letter of authority issued by the
bank covering the movement.“Despite this information, the EFCC insisted
on detaining our employees, taking possession of our goods and
threatening to confiscate the currency without making themselves
available to our senior managers or other agencies familiar with our
movement.”Reacting to the position of Union Bank and Bankers Warehouse,
the acting Spokesman for the EFCC, said the commission invited
officials of the bank to give explanation about the money but they
refused to show up. He said investigations were still on and the outcome
of the probe would determine the agency’s next line of action.“On the
Union Bank saga, the way forward is that investigation is ongoing. On
the detention of their staff and threat to confiscate the money, this is
neither here nor there. The two men arrested with the money were
detained because they have to offer relevant information. The bank
refused to honour invitation from the time of the arrest until we had to
go out with the story. That was when they suddenly realised they need
to honour the invitation. Be that as it may, a thorough investigation
has to be carried out as to the source and legitimacy of the money
because we are not unaware that some financial institutions are being
used to launder money.
Among
Nigeria’s more respected and renowned corporate citizens, Ocean Marine
Services is streets ahead. Established to enhance the safeguarding of
maritime related commercial investments by offering expert advice and
real time solutions to security problems, OMS also provides premier
security solutions that help to promote a safe business environment not
only in Nigeria but the entire West African Coast.Given this background,
its impressive catalogue of corporate social responsibilities and
proven integrity in the industry and beyond, the company found
incongruous a Thisday publication of December 10th, 2018, promoted by
one Eraskorp Nigeria Limited (Eraskorp) accusing it of impropriety on
the multi-million dollars pipeline surveillance deals with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Those conversant with the
far-reaching activities and integrity of the company say it is a
ludicrous and puerile publication not deserving of the attention of OMS.
Its management reckoned however that it was worth reacting to, and
setting the records straight, in view of how fast such negative reports
travel.Also, the company stated that it was constrained to respond to
the publication in the sole interest of the general public that has been
presented with a potpourri of untruths, inaccuracies, and fabrications
which serves no utilitarian purpose than to undercut the reputation and
goodwill of the company.“Many in the oil and gas industry and even in
the Nigerian commercial sphere are aware that OMS is a law-abiding
corporation with a sterling reputation of probity, integrity and
competence that has made significant contributions to the Nigerian
economy. We fully intend to protect this hard-earned reputation.
Accordingly, in all our years of existence, we have conducted our
business fully in compliance with the law, and as a testament to this,
allegations of impropriety have never been proven against OMS,” the
statement read.Further, it stated, “As it relates to our competence, the
record of our contribution to the Nigerian economy, through stellar
services, are clear. We need not itemise our track record of success on
this platform, in order to give credence to our work. That said, we
categorically state that we are proud of our work in assisting the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in a number of pipeline
surveillance mandates, including our impressive performance surveilling
the Bonny-Port Harcourt and Warri-Escravos evacuation lines.”The company
went on to assert that despite the allegations, what is independently
verifiable is that its efforts are directly responsible for an increase
in revenues for Nigeria and a significant reduction in what had become
recurring costs in repairing damaged and/or vandalised pipelines. “We
counsel that any allegations of corruption by Eraskorp should be
directed at the relevant anti-graft agency(ies), rather than co-opting
the instrumentality of the media to conduct a media trial that relies on
pedestrian, half-baked, and inaccurate allegations, devoid of factual
evidence. OMS prides itself on its robust anti-corruption policy, and
for the avoidance of doubt, the company does not engage in any form of
corrupt practices, economic crimes, financial crimes and/or acts of
economic sabotage. Specifically, the award of the surveillance contract
for the Trans Forcados Pipeline (TFP) to OMS followed due process, with
no wrongdoing, illegality, or illicit activities underpinning its
award,” the company said.It continued: “We take the allegations of
impropriety in the publication very seriously, and we would be pursuing
our legal remedies, including but not limited to actions in defamation
and injurious falsehood. We trust that in this era of fake news, our
media houses and journalists would continue to uphold the standards of
their profession by verifying publications, at all times, with authentic
and reliable sources, before publishing. We must never sacrifice truth
on the altar of sensationalism.”

28-year-old
LA-based retired porn star and escort, Amanda Drago's spirited
Instagram tribute to her former sugar daddy on the one-year anniversary
of his untimely death has gone hugely viral In a lenghty caption,
Drago whose porn name is Melina Mason and pen name is Lydia Dupra
details the nature of their "incredibly toxic relationship" and a scary
encounter with whippits, and claims that his ghost is haunting
her. Drago and her deceased sugar daddy Brad met in 2012 through an
escort agency she worked for at the time. The agency mistakenly sent
Drago to his house in Beverly Hills instead of the woman Brad
specifically requested. Some of the first words he said to her were,
"You're not the girl I ordered." Despite the mix-up, Brad had taken a
liking to Drago, and their sugar baby–sugar daddy relationship
began."Shortly after we met, he propositioned me to be his sugar baby.
We were on and off for over five years," she said. Read her viral post
below....Exactly one year ago, my sugar daddy Brad passed away. He was
47 and died because of a heart attack and untreated diabetes. We had an
incredibly toxic relationship and ultimately I wish I never met him.As
horrible as he was, I am sitting here and trying to dig up a good memory
to remember him on this day. So here it is: Brad, you bought me my
first pair of Louboutins, my first Birkin and my first and only race
horse. You understood the value of my time and for that, I honor you
with my time today by making this post for you. I still don’t forgive
you for taking me out of the will after you attacked me while you were
on whippets.However, you knew I would always be okay and yes....I’ve
been living a double life this whole time with the guy you thought was
my gay bodyguard and I’m also an author and serial entrepreneur. So,
let’s call it even. I will finally visit you one of these days. Rest In
Peace. PS please don’t haunt me again. -Demanda
The
Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu has said that God will not allow any other
party apart from All Progressives Congress (APC) to take over the State
in the forthcoming general election in 2019. He made this remark
yesterday in Lagos at the 11th Annual Hijrah Lecture and Commissioning
of the new House of Assembly Mosque. He said the new Mosque was unique
especially as it was built inside the Assembly complex where Bills are
passed into law. Oba Akiolu also argued that it was not enough to build
Mosque but that the custodians of the Mosque should be properly taken
care of. He also advised the custodians not to be involved in anything
that would tarnish image of the religion. Governor Ambode was
represented by the Commissioner for Home Affairs, AbdulHakeem Abdulateef
who is the Chief Imam of the House of Assembly Mosque. In his speech,
the Chairman of the Muslim Community of the Assembly, Mr. Sikiru Osinowo
thanked God Almighty for the completion of the mosque.“We started the
mosque project so that we could fulfil the purpose of our coming here.
We have been Muslim Speakers, and God made it possible for us to build
the new mosque during the time of the current Speaker, Rt. Hon.
Mudashiru Obasa,” he said.

At
least 40 people have been killed after a tsunami caused by a volcanic
eruption hit beaches in Indonesia. The wave hit beaches around the Sunda
Strait late on Saturday night, destroying 430 houses, nine hotels and
10 ships. The country's Disaster Mitigation Agency confirmed around
600 people have been injured. A further two people are believed to be
missing. A tsunami alert was issued and people in low-lying areas fled
to higher ground. Indonesian officials believe the tsunami was caused
by an eruption on nearby Krakatoa, which has been spewing volcanic ash
into the air. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has been monitoring
the situation and has issued a red warning to airline pilots operating
in the region that an ash cloud is spreading south west from the volcano
to an altitude of 55,000 feet. It is believed the tsunami was caused by
an undersea landslide following the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano.
The wave hit beaches on the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and
Sumatra. Indonesian authorities said 430 houses have been badly
damaged as well as nine hotels. The wave also badly damaged ten ships
with dozens others needing repair. In September, at least 832 people
were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of Palu on the
island of Sulawesi, which is just east of Borneo.
Brett
McGurk, the US special envoy to the anti-Islamic State group coalition,
has resigned. His resignation wraps up a chaotic week that saw the
departure of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Donald Trump’s stunning
decision to pull troops from Syria. McGurk’s resignation, effective
December 31, comes on the heels of Mattis’s decision to quit the Trump
administration over key disagreements with the US president, notably the
Syria withdrawal. Just last week McGurk, a Barack Obama appointee
whom Trump kept on, said “nobody is declaring a mission accomplished” in
the battle against IS just days before the president blindsided
politicians and allies with his announcement of victory against the
jihadist movement. Trump who had postponed his holiday vacation as
failed budget talks triggered a partial US government shutdown again on
Saturday said “ISIS is largely defeated.” “When I became President,
ISIS was going wild,” the president tweeted. “Now ISIS is largely
defeated and other local countries, including Turkey, should be able to
easily take care of whatever remains. We’re coming home!” McGurk, 45,
was set to leave his position in February, but reportedly felt he could
no longer continue in the job after Trump’s declaration and on Friday
evening informed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of his intention to wrap
up at year’s end. His conclusion mirrored that of Mattis, who was seen
as a voice of moderation in the mercurial Trump White House and quit
after telling the president he could not go along with the Syria
decision. McGurk has served as the US envoy to the Global Coalition to
Defeat ISIS, another acronym for the jihadist group, since 2015. He
also served as the deputy assistant secretary of state for Iraq and
Iran, and worked under Republican George W. Bush as a senior official on
Iraq and Afghanistan.
A
model plane enthusiast and his 54-year-old wife have been revealed as
the suspects arrested over the Gatwick Airport drone mayhem but his boss
claims he was working and could not have been the culprit. Forensic
squads had been searching a van outside window-fitter Paul Gait, 47, and
his wife Elaine Kirk's home but the probe was thrown into confusion as
Mr Gait's boss John Allard vouched for him and said he was at work.
Allard, who runs a double glazing firm in Crowborough, said he could
'account for Paul's movements between the hours of 7am and 5pm last
Monday to Friday'. The 47-year-old suspect had been 'part of a three-man
team fitting glass doors and windows in the Crowborough area', his
employer said. The couple were arrested in Crawley, the West Sussex
town where they live and which has previously been a battleground for
environmental groups opposing the expansion of the airport. The arrests
come as police look into theories as to whether eco-warriors or a group
of activists protesting deportations of migrants could be behind the
drone mayhem. Crawley, a town with a population of just over 100,000, is
just five miles away from Gatwick and under the airport's
flightpath. Activists in the town have previously declared a 'state of
emergency' in the countryside to counter a proposed second runway.
Around 1,000 aircraft have been cancelled or diverted amid this week's
mayhem, plunging 140,000 passengers into chaos since Wednesday
night. Flights have resumed by many are operating with delays after
three days of disruption, with some passengers having to abandon
holidays or struggling to get home for Christmas.
