Boko Haram Kills 12 Soldiers, Loses 25 Members In Borno
Nigeria is now becoming a one day one trouble kind of nation. Suspected Boko Haram militants yesterday attacked a military checkpoint Bulamburin village in Borno State killing 12 soldiers and losing 25 of their members in a fierce exchange of gunfire.
Bulamburin village, the scene of the deadly encounter, is about 50 kilometers south of Dambua in the southern part of the violence-plagued state.
A military source, who survived the siege, disclosed that the armed men who attacked the military contingent arrived in the village on motorcycles and in several sports utility vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft weapons.
Speaking to reporters in Maiduguri, the source said 12 soldiers had lost their lives, but that the military inflicted heavier casualties on the members of the dreaded Islamist group.
"Some soldiers escaped with bullet wounds," said the source. He added, "I was at the checkpoint when the terrorists came. We fired at them and tried our best, but they had advantage over us. They had better weapons and we had AK-47 rifles that were not fully loaded. When we realized that they had taken over the place, some of us escaped to Maiduguri and other places, but many could not make it."
Boko Haram terrorists have recently intensified their violent activities in the southern part of Borno State where hundreds of people have been killed, numerous homes razed, and many people kidnapped.

Gallant Eagles Qualify For 2nd Round
First was the atmosphere at the magnificent Estadio Beira Rio, Porto Alegre.
Any Brazilian asked who, between Nigeria and Argentina, he will easily say Nigeria.
The rivalry between Argentina and Brazil is bitter and has been on for long. Brazilians would always be happy to see Argentina fall and vice versa. And Brazilians wished the Eagles well yesterday. But they were very few in the stadium. Argentines took over the stadium.
They sang, danced and cheered. Their cheers were deafening. It was simply amazing. Eagles had to be strong to survive the play of the Argentines and the overwhelming crowd. That their team had won two matches and qualified did not matter to them. What mattered was victory.
Stephen Keshi had lined out the same team that started the match against Bosnia, respecting the saying that you don't change a winning team.
The game started with Argentina showing no sign of relaxation as a team that had already won two matches and qualified. Inspired by the charged atmosphere, they charged on the Eagles and scored in the third minute. Ambrsoe Efe was missing in his right back position after running forward. Angel Di Maria exploited the space Efe provided him and ran deep before hitting a shot that Vincent Enyeama parried. It hit the post and the rebound Lionel Messi clinically finished up.
The Argentines were still celebrating the goal when Michael Babatunde ran deed and provided a pass to the left for Ahmed Musa who cut in and curved the ball into the net for Nigeria's equaliser.
Eagles thereafter enjoyed some reprieve but Argentina continued to push forward, creating chances and taking shots that harassed the Eagles defence. Enyeama had to save two long range shots and showed how reliable he could be.
But Argentina appeared to be capitalising on the slow game John Obi Mikel was playing in the midfield. Gonzalo Higuain, Federico Fernandez, Sergio Aguero with Messi kept on attacking and outplaying Mikel, Onazi and Babatunde in the midfield. Osaze was forced to be dropping deep and was doing a good job.
Shortly after Enyama parried into corner a curling Messi's free kick, It did not dawn on the Eagles that they needed to avoid fouls deep in their half. Another foul and another free kick followed. Messi was this time merciless. He curled the ball into the same corner Enyeama had saved but the Nigerian keeper had no answer this time.
The goal pained the Nigerians in the stadium who were becoming confident that the Eagles could hold Argentina. It was in the stoppage time of the first half. Even the fans of Argentina were no longer as loud as they were in the beginning. Although Eagles were more under pressure, they seemed to be surviving, putting more than many had expected. They impressed to a reasonable extent.
As the Eagles moved into the dressing room, the news that Bosnia were leading 1-0 against Iran was pacifying.
And Ahmed Musa equalised superbly on resumption of the second half. But Argentines know how to make use of set pieces. Marcos Rojo flicked in a corner when Eagles defenders lost a little concentration. It all happened within ten minutes of the second half.
Ricardo Alveres came in for Messi and Okechukwu Uchegbu came in for injured Babatunde in the 65th minute. It was at this stage that Bosnia scored the second goal against Iran and Tijani Ahmed, a Nigerian journalist roared "we are in the second round and Eagles needed a tough match like this to prepare them for the second round."
Uche Nwofor came in for Osaze Odemwingie and there were audible grumbles among Nigerian journalists, who felt that Osaze was having a good game. As at 84th it was 3-1 for Bosnia and Nigeria were coasting home for a second round were they would face France, a strong team but which are beatable.
The Nigerian team here have shown that they can still go further.

Ahmed Musa said he felt on top of the World yesterday scoring two goals in a match sharing the spoils with world's most dreaded player, Messi. ''I feel so happy scoring two goals against a Messi-inspired team.
Above all, I am happier that we have qualified for the second round. We are going to improve more in the second round. I know that it is not easy. But we are determined to do better than we did in previous World Cup', an overwhelmed Musa said moments after the World Cup match. Source: Vanguard News

We Gave Too Much Respect To Argentina – Keshi
Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi reviewed the 3-2 loss to Argentina in their last group match that saw them qualifying to the second round of the World Cup, saying that Nigeria gave Argentina too much respect.
''I think that we gave Argentina too much respect in the first half. That is why we played deep not trying to concede goals. It is not in our character to play defensive game.
We are known for attacking football like Argentina. But that changed in the second half and we took control of the game and the possession.
I think that the game was good with my players improving in all games
Messi is from Jupiter
Stephen Keshi also poured encomiums on Argentine player Lionel Messi .
Despite the loss, Nigeria finished second behind Argentina and moved into the second round to face France.
Asked if his team played against Argentina or Messi, he laughed and said; ''Messi is a blessing to football. You can't take it away from him.
There are other talented players in the Argentine team but I think that Messi is from another planet. Messi is from Jupiter", he said causing an uproar of laughter from the media.

INCREDIBLE: Woman Gives Birth After 14 Years Pregnancy!
Saturday June 7, 2014, will remain the happiest day in the life of Mercy James. Reason? That was the day she miraculously gave birth to a baby girl after 14 years of being pregnant.
The baby was promptly and aptly christined Miracle. And why not? If the mother had delivered at the expected time the child would have been a teenager by now and possibly in secondary school at the JSS 3 level.
Mercy, a single parent, said of her ordeal during the 14 years she was pregnant but could not give birth: "When I first took in, I knew that I was pregnant with signs and test that confirmed that I was. Four months later, I went to hospital for another test, the result showed that I wasn't pregnant, but had fibroid.
Subsequently, I began to experience bleeding, at least once a day. Sometimes, my tummy would protrude in the semblance of pregnancy. I went to different hospitals, and I kept on receiving the same result that nothing was wrong with me. But deep down inside , I knew that all was not well with me.
Churches and native doctors
"So I was taken aback when a midwife told me I was pregnant. But considering the test which showed I had fibroid, I was angry with the midwife for giving me what I felt was a false prophecy of hope. Thereafter, I started going from one church to another and from one native doctor to the other. The results that I got from them all remained the same. I became more feeble and confused that I prayed for death to come.
"I went again to the midwife two years after and complained to her about the pains that I was going through, she told me again that it was not fibroid but pregnancy; she advised me to be more prayerful so that God will deliver me from the hands of the devil. I kept on praying and at the same time asking myself that if truly I'm pregnant, why is it that the baby was not kicking?
"I bought many concoctions that they said could cure fibroid and drank them. I even drank 12 bottles of a local cleanser but to no avail. This went on for years. Then God took pity on me and decided to wipe my tears.
On the day I gave birth to my baby girl, I initially thought that worms were trying to come out of my body not knowing that it was a baby. This was what I told the midwife when we came to her. But after examining me she told me to push.
I ignored her. I became unconscious for about 15 minutes and when I regained consciousness, I heard the cry of a baby. I was surprised and confused seeing my baby. I couldn't believe my eyes. Hmm,I thank God for my life and that of my baby Miracle. I named her Miracle because she is truly a miraculous child".
Miraculous child
The midwife at the Celestial Church of Christ, Kadoso Parish, Ajegunle where Mercy gave birth confirmed the development, especially the role she played.
The woman who simply gave her name as Mrs Ajetima informed thus: "She was pregnant for 14 years and was unable to give birth during this period. Then on Saturday around 6:30am I saw two persons carrying her to this place. When she came inside, I laid her down and asked one of my daughters to examine her, after the examination, I found out that it was a baby that was about coming out and not worms. I asked her to push and she refused. My daughter gave her a hard slap on her laps since she refused to push.
Behold a baby with placenta came out! I started shouting, calling on people to come and see for themselves that Mercy was truly pregnant, because if not, people will start to say that that Celestial woman has given Mercy a baby. Within a twinkle of an eye, the whole place was filled with people. God is wonderful".
Also affirming the happy development, Mercy's closest friend, Odunayo Odeyemi had this to say: "I have known mercy for over nine years now. I met her with the pregnancy . In fact, she did not know that she was pregnant. I followed her to many places but her problems kept on increasing. Merely looking at Mercy then before she gave birth, you will notice that she wasn't okay. I kept advising her to have faith in God because I had experienced the same thing. I was pregnant for three years and three months and God delivered me.
"Mercy came to me on that fateful day around 4am begging me to give her a pain reliever, that she was having pains all over her body. I dressed up and took her to a man that sells drugs. After taking the drug, on our way home, she started having serious pains. I called her brother and we both took her to the midwife. Hours later, she gave birth to a bouncing baby girl. We all were surprised because we never expected such a miracle to happen. She had a complete baby."
Robert Davidson, one of Mercy's friends, said that he concluded after seeing Mercy with a protruded tummy for three years that she had fibroid. So, "it came to me as a shock to learn that she delivered a bouncing baby girl."
For Chidimma Ibe, a neighbour: "She always complained to me that she had stomach pains all these period. She told me that she had fibroid and sometime, she will complain of different things. She was totally confused as to what her condition was. I'm very much surprised and happy she gave birth to a complete baby girl. It was truly a miracle. God was on her side. God is wonderful because all the concoctions she took were enough to kill the baby."
On the father of Baby Miracle, Mercy informed that they got separated on account of the ordeal that attended her pregnancy. "Friday is the name of my baby's father. Actually, we are not married. He just proposed to me and I became pregnant for him. He knew about the pregnancy. He always gave me money for tests and scans but he got tired and left me after waiting for me for over a year without seeing any sign of a baby. I have no option than to go my own way," she informed.

Police nab 4 human parts dealers in Lagos
Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, at the Lagos State Police Command, weekend, arrested two herbalists and two Islamic clerics (aka Alfas), who specialised in buying and selling of human body parts.
Vanguard gathered that the suspects, identified as Wasiu Oyebamiji, Ogunshola Olakunle Afolabi, Akorede Wasiu and Rasheed Opeyemi, were apprehended in various parts of Ogun and Lagos states.
Sources at the state Police Command headquarters, Ikeja, disclosed that the Police deployed a team of undercover operatives to track down one of the suspects, Afolabi, said to be a specialist in sourcing human parts from road accident victims.
A source, who spoke to Vanguard on condition of anonymity, said one of the undercover operatives approached Afolabi for a human head for which he demanded N45,000.
The source added that after payment, Afolabi provided a fresh human head, confiding in the operative that it was the head of a woman killed by a hit-and-run driver on the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.
"We then apprehended him and on interrogation he confessed that he used to sell the human parts to some people who parade themselves as clerics.
"He also told us that when he could not find corpses on the expressway, he would approach a grave digger, identified as Ajigbolorun Waheed, to bring human parts for him. When we searched his shop at Abule Egba, we found pieces of human flesh."
The source also added that Oyebamiji was arrested at Oko-Oba market where he sells herbs and human parts, while Wasiu and Opeyemi were arrested at Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.
I use the parts for good, not rituals
— Suspect
When Vanguard interviewed the suspects, they confessed to the crime but explained they that they used to mix the parts with other things to make concoctions.
Fifty-year-old Opeyemi told Vanguard that he was using the concoction to treat mental disorder.
He said: "I started using it when I had a patient with a severe mental disorder. Before the man was brought to me, I was told he had beaten up a lot of people and he had even broken his mother's head.
"I was confused when I saw the case and I tried using my old tactics to cure him. After several efforts and my tactics were not working, I then consulted some of my friends and one of them told me to get human parts from two different persons, roast and grind them, then mix it with soap and dried plantain leaf.
"After doing it, I used it and it worked wonderfully. I want to say that I was using these human parts for good and not for money rituals."
Wasiu also narrated how he used human parts to stop pregnant women from going through surgery while in labour.
He said: "If a woman is brought to me and it is said that she is unable to deliver safely, I will prepare a concoction with human parts and when I rub it on the woman's stomach, she will deliver easily without surgery.". Source: Vanguard News

Zidane to coach Real Madrid feeder team
France legend Zinedine Zidane has been appointed coach for next season of Real Madrid's feeder team, third-division side Castilla, the club said Wednesday.
"Zinedine Zidane will manage Castilla next season," Real Madrid said in a statement on the club's website.
"Zizou, who was Carlo Ancelotti's first squad assistant coach this year, will start a new stage of his career at Real Madrid.
"Zidane will be joined by youth coach Santiago Sánchez and has already started working on future plans for the reserve team squad."
Castilla were relegated to the Spanish third tier last season, but may be reinserted into the second division if sanctions are taken against Zaragoza and Murcia for financial transgressions.
Zidane, 42, played for Cannes, Bordeaux and Juventus before joining Real Madrid in 2001 and retiring at the age of 34 after the 2006 World Cup.
He became France's playmaker in the buildup to the 1998 World Cup on home soil and earned legendary status with two headed goals in the 3-0 win over Brazil in the final.
Four years later injury spoiled his World Cup in South Korea and Japan, but he was instrumental in leading France into the 2006 World Cup final in Germany against Italy only to be sensationally sent off for headbutting defender Marco Materazzi in the chest before the Italians won on penalties.
He had recently been linked with the vacant managerial job at his former club Bordeaux, but elected instead to stay at Real where he is regarded as one of the club's finest ever players.
He enjoys a close relationship with Ancelotti and will now be in charge of developing younger players for first team duty. He would also be ideally placed to take over from the Italian when he decides to move on.
Ancelotti said of his assistant in May: "He is learning how to work as a coach. He is hard-working, he has charisma and the right kind of personality to succeed.
"He is learning how to programme training sessions, how to talk to the players, how to motivate them and a a consequence of that I think that he is ready to take over as coach at any team."

Ghana airlifts $3 million to Black Stars
Ghana's government said on Wednesday that it is sending more than $3 million in cash on a chartered plane to Brazil to pay appearance fees for its World Cup squad.
Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yamin told radio station Citi FM in Accra that the government chartered a plane to fly from Ghana to Brazil on Tuesday after the Black Stars demanded they be paid their appearance fee and rejected having the money wired to them.
"The players haven't been paid their appearance fee as such today," Yamin said. "It's as a result of the decision as to which mode of payment should be affected in this current World Cup."
A statement from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) said President John Dramani Mahama personally assured the players that they would receive their money.
"The government is pre-financing the payment of the Black Stars appearance fees which will be reimbursed when FIFA's prize-money for Ghana's participation in the World Cup is paid after the tournament in Brazil," the statement said.
The Black Stars still have an outside chance of reaching the knockout stages though they must beat Portugal in their final group game on Thursday to have any hope of doing so.
Both they and Portugal are on one point while Germany and the United States, who also play each other on Thursday, have four.
Ghana's camp was rocked earlier this week by reports in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper accusing GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi of agreeing to fix matches. He has denied the claims.
Ghana, which is West Africa's second-largest economy, has recently been struggling with a 10.8 percent budget deficit and a rapidly depreciating currency.
Yamin defended the cash payment to the Black Stars, saying a successful football team is crucial for national morale.
"Football is the passion of the nation and everybody seems to turn against government, not this government, but government if anything goes bad against the team," Yamin said.

Reason Why Woman Sentenced To Death In Sudan Was Jailed Again
Meriam Ibrahim has been going through a tough year so far, having been jailed for refusing to denounce christianity and then having to give birth in jail cuffed.
And as it seems the storm was over, days back as she got her freedom after massive protest from all over the world, it seems that it was just the beggining.
Yesterday as she tried to fly to the USA with her husband and kids she was arrested again, this time with her whole family including her two young kids.
Sources have told BBC why the woman was re-arrested yesterday at Khartoum's airport.
The source said that she tried to leave South Sudan with emergency travel documents issued by South Sudan
Meriam Ibrahim was detained on Tuesday, a day after a court released her, annulling the death sentence imposed on her for renouncing the Islamic faith.
Mrs Ibrahim had emergency travel documents issued by South Sudan when she was detained at Khartoum's airport
Mrs Ibrahim's lawyer, Elsherif Ali told reporters that Sudan's security service had accused Mrs Ibrahim of forging her document and is now being held at a local police station in Khartoum.
South Sudan embassy have however came out and said that the travel documents they issued are genuine.
Her husband, Wani hails from South Sudan but she is Sudanese and the Sudan's intelligence agency are now saying she can't use another country's travel document, stamped with a US visa.
They said: "She came to the airport in an American embassy car - which was bullet proof and heavily guarded. There is something fishy about turning up in a foreign car - something not normal to come in a bullet proof car and guarded by the US embassy,".
"Everyone knows she is Sudanese. We know she is Sudanese… imagine a British citizen trying to travel wherever appearing at the airport carrying an emergency document from Costa Rica. This is a violation of emigration law anywhere in the world,".
Meanwhile reports state that the husband and kids have been freed.

The military source was quoted saying:
"The security challenges in the country require a state of alertness on the part of officers and men in the Armed Forces... We want everyone restricted to his or her duty post and barracks to avert infiltration by the insurgents. Some of these insurgents have been trying to induce military men but they have never succeeded."
It would be recalled that only last week the Nigerian security claimed that the dreaded sect might use hijacked petrol tankers to bomb Abuja, which caused panic among the country capital residents.
Regarding the Internet limitations, the source said that in was a common practice in the world, because criminals use network to learn more about their "enemy".

Fear of Sell-Out to Argentina Grips Nigeria
Nigerian officials were very uncomfortable yesterday with the news of a possible sell-out of the all-important match between Iran and Bosnia Hezergovina.
Bosnia are yet to come to terms with losing 1-0 to Nigeria after Osaze Odemwingie flicked in a cross provided by Emmanuel Emeinke. Many observers believed that Emenike had fouled Bosnian defender before bulldozing himself to give the cross that led to Osaze's goal. Before then, Edin Dzeko scored a goal which was disallowed by the New Zealand referee but replays showed that he was not in an offside position.

With a controversial offside call disallowing a goal by striker Edin Dzeko, Bosnia-Herzegovina fell to Nigeria 1-0 in a Group F matchup. The loss eliminated Bosnia-Herzegovina from contention in its first-ever trip to the World Cup.
"Today we should have won this game. The referee was shameful. We are going home, we are sad because of that but this referee should be going home too. He changed the result and he changed the game. That's why we lost." , Dzeko said.
Thereafter, a picture of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama hugging the referee after the match went viral as comments suggested that the referee was celebrating Nigeria's victory.
All these have heightened fears that Bosnia could compromise with today's match against Iran to punish Nigeria. ''We're looking up to FIFA and want them to monitor the match between Iran and Bosnia. Everything is possible", a Nigerian official complained yesterday. If Iran beat Bosnia and Argentina beat Nigeria, the Iranians would sail through to the second round. The fears are palpable.

Assemblies of God Church crisis worsens as members clash in Enugu
THE crisis in the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria, with its polarising effects, took a dangerous dimension, yesterday, as members of the two camps clashed leaving some people wounded.
An attempt by the faction loyal to the Assistant General Superintendent, Rev. Chidi Okoroafor, to hold anti-Paul Emeka meeting at Isiagu Street, Achara Layout branch of the church was the major cause of the clash.
The embattled General Superintendent of the church, Rev. Paul Emeka, and some top members of the church had engaged in a protracted dispute over issues relating to lack of accountability and conspiracy in the church's leadership.
The anti-Emeka members of the church's executive committee had slated a meeting yesterday to review the crisis that engulfed the church, following the purported suspension of the General Superintendent by a group in the church.
The District Pastor incharge of Isiagu street branch of the church, Pastor Isaac Ochu, who is in the anti-Emeka faction, accepted to host the meeting, even when some leaders of his branch, including the deacons, were opposed to the meeting.
Pastor Ochu was said to have announced the meeting last Sunday but his members who were sympathetic to the GS, told him point-blank that the meeting of the alleged renegades should not hold in the church.
Pastor Ochu was said to have ignored their advice and went ahead to convene the meeting in his church but unknown to him, the deacons in the church had mobilized their colleagues from other branches to barricade the entrances to the church.
Sensing that there could be danger at the meeting venue, the anti-Emeka group reportedly invited soldiers to the church Monday night but were withdrawn in the early hours of yesterday.
However, when the participants who were mostly pastors from different branches of the church in the state arrived for the meeting yesterday morning, they met a stiff resistance by the pro-Eneka group and as they tried to force their way into the church, a fight broke out between the two groups.
The anti-Emeka group, according to an eyewitness, was overpowered as the pastors ran for their dear lives and later moved to an undisclosed place in Trans-Ekulu to hold the meeting.
The pro-Emeka group remained at the church premises until yesterday evening but declined to speak with newsmen.
But some of the deacons were heard threatening that Pastor Ochu would not be allowed to preside over the affairs of the church, henceforth, for identifying with the renegades who they accused of trying to destroy the church.

Polytechnics Crisis: ASUP/Govt. Meeting Aborted As Indifferent Federal Officials Fail To Show Up
A meeting on Tuesday scheduled between the national executive of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Government officials to discuss solutions to close down of Polytechnics did not hold.
Sources say the meeting, which was called by the Senate Committee on Education, stalled owing to the absence of the Ministers of Education and Labor, Messrs. Nyesom Wike and Emeka Wogu, as well as the Secretary to Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim.
The committee called the meeting following the failure of the Education minister and other relevant agencies of the government had failed to end the industrial crisis in the polytechnics.
In the polytechnics strike, which is now extending into one full year, none of the key issues has been significantly resolved. ASUP executive members said the meetings with the Ministry of Education and its leadership have yielded no fruit. The Senate intervention is seen as the next big hope for resolution to enable the students to resume their education.
Some students of affected institutions embarked on a series of protests recently in Lagos, but were violently repressed by the police.
The students professed support for their lecturers' action, describing ASUP demands as being in order and covering the academic interest of students.
