DSS ARREST "IF I HAD $2 MILLION I WOULD QUIT FROM THIS HORRIBLE PROFESSION

Following the rampaging arrest of some alleged corrupt judges by the DSS, Honorable Justice Muhammad Liman has come to make a statement about the so called corrupt practice and alleged $2 million dollars said to be stashed in a judge’s house

Liman, in a statement published on The Nigerian Lawyer, said:

I believe most of the members heard or read about the reported raid in Port Harcourt and my name has been mentioned as the judge in whose house $2 million was stashed. Since yesterday this story has been on the headlines and captions on most social media platforms. The truth is that all that you’ve read is more of misinformation and disinformation; substantially untrue account.

The truth is that we live as neighbors to the DSS, their address is 35 and mine is 33. That night the DSS came to house 34 where they wanted to search but they were refused entry and later Governor Wike was said to have come and engaged the security outfit in a near physical struggle, as the report suggested.

I wouldn’t have known of the incidence if my neighbor in house 34 had not called me to inform me of the presence of strange people at her gate. All this while the melee lasted to around 4AM, I was in my house monitoring the events, and remained indoors until later in the day when I felt it was no longer safe for me to continue to remain.

However I feel distressed that the DSS indirectly claimed they have evidence I stashed $2m, and when contacted I employed thugs and with Governor Wike to obstruct them from carrying out the search and that I later transferred the money to an unknown place. I do not think I need to refute this allegation because it would only make sense if they had actually targeted my house for the search.

The truth is that due to their incompetence they bungled the operation and are desperately searching for alibi to save their heads. Unfortunately I have found myself in the middle of a dirty politics between Wike and the Federal Government and perhaps my notoriety for delivering controversial judgements; because the cases are also controversial and the stakes probably very high.

I’m not asking anybody to believe or disbelieve whether I stashed $2m, an amount that is equivalent to about N1b. Perhaps you might think the DSS probably exaggerated the amount, but all these would have been relevant considerations if they had actually searched my house. If I had $2m or even a quarter of it I would have abandoned this horrible profession that has lost its dignity. In fact I have already lost interest in it and have made up my mind to say bye bye to it. I believe there is a life beyond every other thing.

FIVE SIGNS YOU ARE NOT BURNING THOSE CALORIES RIGHT

For gym lovers and fitness fans, you obviously must have encountered this situation or yet to experience it. Over time you get too comfortable with your workout routine that you make no impact again and most times you don’t know it until you start gaining some ridiculous pounds. The below listed are what to check out to know if you are getting over comfortable with your work out.

1. You repeat same routine over and over.

Starting fitness activity is naturally hard during the first couple of times but once you settle into it, you would like to keep doing it over and over again; however, the constant repetition of same exercise leads to reduced burning of calories and as such needs to be switched up.

Your body adapts quickly, sometimes in just a matter of a week, to whatever exercise you’re doing. Janice Clark, a personal trainer in Los Angeles said “Once that happens, your body doesn’t have to work as hard, and you burn fewer calories.” Its better and beneficial if one learns how to juggle from activity to activity in couple of weeks

2. You talk with friends the entire time.

Its fun having a workout buddy whom you talk with while doing your jam but throwing out all your breath in every instance of talk makes your fitness activity less effective. Learn to throw in just a few words on workouts

3. You don’t feel like you’ve done anything.

Workout is challenging especially when done well. Most times after fitness programs you feel like you haven’t done anything and good enough you ought to be honest to yourself and work hard enough so you can burn your desired calories. Being honest to yourself helps you do challenging stuff but that doesn’t mean you should work so hard to injure yourself or break a bone and become friends with Dr. Bones

4. You’re binge-watching TV.

It will pass the time. But you can’t focus when you’re deep into your favorite show, or when you flip through a magazine, or scroll through email and texts. It’s too hard to get to and maintain the right intensity when you do that. And if you lean on the machine while you read? That’s totally cheating. Do most of your workouts without the extra entertainment. If you must watch TV or read a book, check in every few minutes to make sure you’re at least working at a moderate intensity.

5. You’ve barely broke a sweat.

Perspiration is an evident sign of workout even if you are working under cold you at least should break a sweat. Yes… some people sweat more than others and some like a fish skin barely break a sweat .if you didn’t perspire a drop during workout you are obviously not revving the engine well

CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE GAPS SELF FROM BOYONCE'S NOTION OF FEMINISM

 Chimamanda Adichie has on an  interview with the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant  gapped herself from Poplar American singer, Beyonce’s  notion and ideology of feminism

On the course of the interview she said that ever since Beyonce’s music ‘’flawless “which  quotes from her were featured , she has received numerous calls from media houseS on an interview regarding the song. She has this to say

 “I think Beyoncé is lovely and I am convinced that she has nothing but the best intentions… But I was shocked about how many requests for an interview I received when that song was released. Literally every major newspaper in the world wanted to speak with me about Beyoncé. I felt such a resentment (laughs loudly). I thought: are books really that unimportant to you?
“Still, her type of feminism is not mine. As it is the kind that, at the same time, gives quite a lot of space to the necessity of men. I think men are lovely, but I don’t think that women should relate everything they do to men: did he hurt me, do I forgive him, did he put a ring on my finger? We women are so conditioned to relate everything to men.
“Put a group of women together and the conversation will eventually be about men. Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff. We women should spend about 20% of our time on men, because it’s fun, but otherwise we should also be talking about our own stuff.”
She also refused the idea that the song made her famous and has kept silent about it because she doesn’t want it to seem as if she is feeding on beyonce’s fame. In her words she said
“Another thing I hated was that I read everywhere: now people finally know her, thanks to Beyoncé, or: she must be very grateful. I found that disappointing. I thought: I am a writer and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me: “Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again.” That’s why I didn’t speak about it much,” Adichie said.

DSS to Arrest 8 More Judges Despite NBA's Threat

The DSS seems to be bent on  flaunting the warning of the NBA to stop the arrest and persecutions of allege corrupt judges, The NBA President Abubakar Mahmoud asked that the President Muhammad Buhari order the release of the 7 judges already in DSS custody  and a stop on their persecution or ‘face consequences’.

However the DSS has concluded plans to arrest eight more judges despite threat and warning from the Nigerian Bar Association. The DSS has equally said that in no time the already arrested 7 judges will be charged to court at any time. The DSS on the bribery allegations of the judges said she has enough evidence to make a case and persecute the judges in court and prove their claim
Speaking on the bribery allegations against the judges, the DSS said it had enough evidence to prosecute the case in the court of law and prove that the judges were actually involved in some corrupt practices.
The seven arrested judges facing corruption charges by the DSS includes Justices Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta of the Supreme Court; Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja; Kabir Auta of the Kano High Court; Muazu Pindiga of the Gombe High Court, Mohammed Tsamiya of the Court of Appeal in Ilorin, and the Chief Judge of Enugu State, I.

TRUMP:"YOU WOULD BE IN JAIL" US SCEOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE HIGHLIGHTS

While I sat with energetic interest, watching the Second US Presidential debate 2016, I saw the US election heading to what is typical of African Government. US presidential candidate Mr. Donald J Trump made a huge statement that if he gets to be the president his opponent Secretary Clinton will be behind bars for her so many policies. This is a typical of what Is seen in most third world countries  where the winning president hatches a plan to throw his opponent right in jail.

Donald Trump made this when he brought up Clinton’s email scandal. He attacked Secretary Clinton over her use of private email saying if he was president she would be in jail.
"I hate to say it but if I win I'm going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation," he said.
"There has never been so many lies, so much deception. The people in this country are furious.
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
In response, Mrs. Clinton said: "It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in this country."
Mr. Trump replied, to cheers in the audience: "Because you'd be in jail."

Earlier before that, Trump’s lewd tape, in which Trump brags about "grabbing p----" and forcibly kissing women, was brought up. He however, apologized for it and regarded it as just "locker room talk" and just words,  but accused Bill Clinton as a woman abuser. He also did hold a press conference half an hour before the debate alongside three women who have claimed they were sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton.

As much as there are a lot of things the opposing candidate fought against and hated tremendously, the debate came to a reduced tension and love and respect for each candidate as they were asked to say one thing they respected about each other. For Secretary Clinton it was Trumps Children and for Mr. Trump it was Clinton's fighting spirit and her not being a quitter

Mrs. Clinton said: "I respect his children. His children are incredibly able and I think that says a lot about Donald."
Mr. Trump said: "I will say this about Hillary - she doesn't quit, she doesn't give up. I tell it like it is. She's a fighter."
This positive remark about each other fostered a good end to the debate as the candidate shook hands at the end but awkward did not at the beginning
