NEW YORK (AP) — As Superstorm Sandy marched slowly inland, millions along the East Coast awoke Tuesday without power or mass transit, with huge swaths of the nation's largest city unusually vacant and dark.

New York was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart in Lower Manhattan shuttered for a second day and seawater cascading into the still-gaping construction pit at the World Trade Center. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in the city and Long Island.

As the Bakassi Candles die...

Nnamdi Okose

By Nnamdi Okose

It was as if a silent wind lit candles everywhere. Cities, even those far from Bakassi were bursting with the anticipation. Bakassi must be saved! We must save our kinsmen from the clutches of the Cameroonians! The flickering lights from the lit candles are dying out now. The legendary collective amnesia of Nigerians is beginning to kick in. We are slowly forgetting that Bakassi both its area and its people allegedly belong to Nigeria.

INSTALLING HUSBAND!!!  A woman writes to the IT Technical support.....  Dear Tech Support,  Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly underBoyfriend 5.0.  In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0, MONEY 3.0 and CRICKET 4.1.  Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.  Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?  Signed, _______ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _______ REPLY  DEAR Madam,  First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.  Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. Html and try to downloadTears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband1.0should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5..  However, remember, overuse of the above application can causeHusband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.  Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0(it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)  In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.

African migrants found dead off Morocco coast

Spanish coast guard recovers 14 bodies and rescues 17 people, while search continues for as many as 70 more passengers.

Spain's maritime rescue service has found 14 bodies in the sea and rescued 17 people after a boat carrying migrants from Morocco began to sink in the
Mediterranean. Search operations are continuing because one of the migrants said about 70 people had been on the boat, a rescue official told the Associated Press on Friday. A coast guard plane spotted the boat on Thursday afternoon following a tip that it had left Morocco and was heading to Spain. Those on the boat are believed to be from sub-Saharan Africa. Each year thousands of suspected illegal immigrants from Africa try to reach Europe by setting sail in small, fragile boats.

UNIABUJA big girl dies vomiting blood weeks after buying N8 million car

Many are still yet to come to terms with untimely demise of University of Abuja student, Sonia Okeke who reportedly died in a mysterious circumstance
recently. Sources say the Awka- Anambra State born pretty damsel was one of the campus big babe with connections with
the movers and shakers of the nation�s seat of power. Sonia is said to be a generous person and even sponsors some ladies through school. Trouble started shortly after Sonia bought a state of the art wonder-on-wheels for N8 million as people started noticing she was no longer her bubbly self and was growing lean by the day. �It got so bad that she was advised to go to the
hospital for check-up, but she refused saying she was fine and just needed some rest. But it one night, she was coughing badly and was vomiting blood. She was rushed to the hospital but it
was too late for the doctors to revive her having waited that long before seeking medical attention,� said a source.
Now the police are said to be investigating whether there is a sinister move behind her death, and request that her friends should come forward with
names of her boy or men friends.
May her soul rest in peace.

Romney goes on offensive in first debate with Obama

Mitt Romney battled back in his uphill drive to oust President Barack Obama on Wednesday with an aggressive debate performance that put his campaign on a more positive footing after weeks of stumbles and knocked Obama off-stride.


President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Romney share a laugh at the end of the first presidential debate in Denver

In the first of three presidential debates this month, Romney went beyond expectations as the two candidates stood side-by-side for the first time after months of campaigning against each other from long distance.

Looking to claw his way back into a race that has seen Obama hold an edge among voters, Romney was on the offensive throughout the 90-minute encounter with Obama. While the president landed some punches on Romney�s tax plan, he did not appear as prepared as his rival and missed several opportunities to attack.

With under five weeks to go until the November 6 election, it was uncertain whether Romney had managed to change the trajectory of a race that has favoured Obama. It is difficult to dislodge an incumbent from the White House. In recent weeks, Romney has lurched from stumble to stumble and been unable to project a consistent message.

�How does it translate into the horse race? That�s unclear,� said Steven Schier, a political science professor at Carleton College in Minnesota. �Romney should have some momentum. The question is whether he can maintain it.�

But there was no question that Romney�s campaign felt it was now in a better position. In the �spin room� afterward, Romney advisers hung around for 90 minutes talking to reporters, long after the Obama side had decamped.

A CNN/ORC snap poll said 67 percent of registered voters surveyed thought Romney won the debate at the University of Denver, compared with 25 percent for Obama.

Romney and Obama clashed repeatedly over taxes, healthcare and the role of government in ways that reflected the deep ideological divide in Washington and that has contributed to political gridlock.

Romney zeroed in on weak economic growth and 8.1 percent unemployment that have left Obama vulnerable in his effort to win a second four-year term. Government has taken on too big a role under Obama, dampening job creation, Romney argued.

�What we�re seeing right now, in my view, (is) a trickle-down government approach, which has government thinking it can do a better job than free people pursuing their dreams. And it�s not working. And the proof of that is 23 million people out of work,� Romney said.

Fact checkers took issue with some of assertions by the former Massachusetts governor, like the number of people unemployed, but he appeared more poised and better prepared than his opponent.

Obama argued that under his leadership, the economy had been brought back from the brink, with 5 million jobs created in the private sector, a resurgent auto industry and housing beginning to rise.

�You know, four years ago, we were going through a major crisis. And yet my faith and confidence in the American future is undiminished,� Obama said.

NO MENTION OF THE �47 PERCENT�

Mysteriously, Obama failed to mention issues his campaign has used in attack ads to damage Romney such as the Republican�s now infamous �47 percent� video, job cuts he made while at Bain Capital private equity firm, his tax returns and previous hard line on immigration.

The debate saw no haymaker punches thrown and not much in the way of memorable one-line zingers. Instead, it was a war of attrition as each man used facts and figures to make his points and stress the differences between them.

Romney, however, did himself some favours with crisper answers than Obama, who sounded professorial and a bit long-winded despite his staff�s best efforts to get him to give snappier comments.

Quite often Obama looked downward at his notes as Romney pounced on the president�s record. At one point, the Democrat quibbled with debate moderator Jim Lehrer who tried to cut him off for going over his allotted time.

�I had five seconds before you interrupted me,� Obama said to Lehrer with a smile.

Romney�s chances of winning the White House were up by 8.4 percentage points after the debate, although he was still only 34.3 percent assured of victory in November, according to online betting site Intrade.

The incumbent did put Romney on the defensive about his proposals for overhauling the U.S. tax system with a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut. Obama said it would cost the government $5 trillion and that it would be impossible to make up this amount by eliminating tax loopholes as the Republican talks about.

�The fact is that if you are lowering the rates the way you described, Governor, then it is not possible to come up with enough deductions and loopholes that only affect high-income individuals to avoid either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class. It�s � it�s math. It�s arithmetic,� Obama said.

Romney insisted his tax plan would not cost $5 trillion, saying, �Virtually everything he said about my tax plan is inaccurate.�

Obama also reminded Americans that Romney was proposing more of the same kind of tax cuts that Obama�s Republican predecessor, former President George W. Bush, pushed through Congress in 2001 and 2003. Most Americans are willing to concede that Obama inherited an economic mess, but also believe it is his responsibility to bring back the economy.

�We ended up moving from surpluses to deficits and it all culminated with the worst recession since the Great Depression,� said Obama.

In the face of attacks from Romney that the Obama healthcare overhaul of 2010 will hurt small-business hiring, Obama basically said his healthcare plan was modelled after the program Romney put in place as governor of Massachusetts, and it �hasn�t destroyed jobs� there.

After arguing for months that the Wall Street regulation legislation known as �Dodd-Frank� should be repealed, Romney was forced to concede under pressure from Obama that he would keep some financial regulations established under the law.

ROMNEY NEEDED VICTORY MORE

Romney was in need of a victory in the debate to help him put his campaign back on a positive footing after a rocky few weeks.

He was damaged by a hidden-camera videotape in which he said 47 percent of voters were dependent on government and unlikely to support him. That was among several stumbles that have knocked Romney�s campaign off message.

Obama, holding a slight lead in national polls and leading Romney in some swing states where the election will be decided, was looking in the debate to avoid harming his position as the apparent front-runner.

But he may have spent too much time trying to avoid making mistakes and let Romney get the better of him.

The debate was the best opportunity to date to reach large numbers of voters in an unfiltered way, with an estimated television audience of 60 million possible.

Advisers to both Romney and Obama predictably said their man emerged victorious. Obama adviser David Plouffe told reporters in the spin room that Romney appeared �testy� at times.

As for Obama�s lengthy comments, his campaign manager Jim Messina said, �That�s never going to be our strong suit.�

Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said if the debate had been a prize fight, the referee would have called it for Romney an hour in.

The debate was the first of three such face-offs scheduled in the next four weeks. Biden and Romney�s running mate, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, will debate once, on October 11.

Citizenship war as Bakassi Peninsula Nigerians threaten Cameroon




Nigerians from the Bakassi Peninsula who were forced by an international ruling to become Cameroonians have threatened war if Nigeria does not appeal against the decision.



The oil-rich Bakassi is now controlled by Cameroon following the transfer of sovereignty from Nigeria as a result of a judgment by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2002.

The ruling forced Nigerians living in the peninsular to become Cameroonians. But the Nigerians say they want to remain under Nigerian authority.

But with a week left before the window for an appeal lapses, the Nigerian government is yet to utilise this option.

Cakebird Development Cooperation (CDC) warned the failure by the government to appeal could lead to war.

Calabar Anglican church bishop Retired Reverend Tunde Adeleye on Tuesday advised the government to speed up the appeal to avoid conflict.

The bishop whose warning coincided with Nigeria's 52nd independence anniversary said people in the peninsular were not afraid of war.

CDC claimed the Cameroonian authorities would have prepared against any form of perceived insubordination by Nigerians –turned Cameroonians in Bakassi.

"The war might be sparked by aggrieved Nigerians, who might be attacked by the Cameroonian authorities," CDC chairman Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu told reporters in Calabar, Cross River State on Tuesday.

Jideofo-Ogbuagu accused passed Nigerian leaders of conniving to sell the peninsula and  Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan of succumbing to pressure from those former leaders.

"Assisted by some foreign powers, Cameroon is waiting for action, whereas there are powers somewhere in the country campaigning that the wicked sale of Bakassi should be forgotten," he said.

Whilst the peninsula is commonly described as "oil-rich", no commercially viable deposits of oil have yet been discovered.



But the area has aroused considerable interest from oil companies in the light of the discovery of rich reserves of high grade crude oil elsewhere in Nigeria.



At least eight multinational oil companies have participated in the exploration of the peninsula and its offshore waters.

During the European scramble for Africa, Queen Victoria, according to historical records, signed a Treaty of Protection with the king and chiefs "Old Calabar", on 10 September 1884. 



The territory however became de facto part of the Republic of Nigeria, although the border was never permanently delineated. 



However, documents released by Cameroon, corroborated by those from Britain and German, placed Bakassi under Cameroonian territory as a result of colonial era Anglo-German agreements.

In 1961, however, Southern Cameroon voted to leave Nigeria and become a part of Cameroon, but Bakassi Peninsula remained under the Nigerian administration until the ICJ ruling of 2002.

SHOCKING: ‘My husband hasn’t had sex with me for 5 years’- Nigerian cries out


forked-heart


A housewife, Mrs. Modupe Falola, stunned Agege Grade A Customary Court when she said that her husband, Mr. Falilu Falola, denied her sex for five years. The mother of one claimed that trouble started  when her husband returned from church one day and told her that she was suffering from a generational curse which she had to pray fervently about for  deliverance.
She added that her husband took advantage of what he heard from his prophet to treat her badly. “ I was heavily pregnant then and immediately I delivered the baby, my husband stopped having sex with me and as well stopped giving me money for the upkeep of the only child of the marriage”, the defendant in the case of divorce instituted by her husband stated.
She alleged that Falilu failed to take care of her and the child and whenever her parents invited him  for reconciliation, he refused to honour the invitation. In a counter position, Falola told the court that he met his enstranged wife through a close friend, saying that  when his friend discussed about her, he told him he was not interested.
He said Modupe was secretary to his friend. The petitioner claimed that he later got to know after three months that the marriage arrangement was a conspiracy between his friend and Modupe.
“I would not have agreed to marry her but l had to sympathize with her when she claimed that her sister‘s husband had sent her away on the excuse that he was travelling abroad and, since we had been dating, I had to give the marriage plan a second thought,“ he said.
Falilu said he regretted later when he discovered that Modupe was troublesome and always picked quarrel with neighbours. The petitioner claimed that what really gave him concern was that his wife quarrelled with his house boy of many years, and the boy left in annoyance.
Falilu vowed that even if the court paved the way for settlement, he had made up his mind not to have anything to do with her “because we are not compatible”. “ I stopped having sex with her five years ago, because of her bad behaviour; besides, Modupe is not friendly with the children l had from my previous marriage”

What If the Girl You Were Seeing Doesn't Want to Talk Anymore?


 

Relationships always have their ups and downs and you never know what you are going to get from them. Maybe that's what makes it so interesting and intriguing to jump into. If you are like me, then you like to experience women and all of their qualities. Some women are enthusiastic with great personalities while others change in the blink of an eye and you are considered strangers to them. This is the aspect of relationships that we as men could never grasp and understand. It seems like when women are no longer interested in you, they act like a light bulb and turn themselves off and will never talk to you again.
