With the latest claim of a North Korean  missile launch , the secretive state’s military arsenal is once again in the news.

The very young life of Baby Dominique is now forever changed. She was born in the Ivory Coast, with four legs and two spines, the result of a  twin  who died in utero and was absorbed by Dominique's body.  Read: Separated Conjoined Twins Say Hello for First Time Since 17-Hour Surgery At 10 months, after flying nearly 9,000 miles, the child underwent a massive, risky surgery to remove two of the extra limbs, which protruded from her neck and were weighing on her spines and overtaxing her heart and lungs, physicians said. After more than six hours of surgery at  Advocate Children's Hospital  in Illinois, Dominique is sitting up, laughing and on her way to a much better future.  "She's great," foster mom Nancy Swabb told InsideEdition.com Tuesday as Dominique wailed in the background. "She's doing very well." Dominique, apparently a little hungry, abruptly piped down when Swabb gave her a bottle. The baby arrived in Chicago in Februar...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House intelligence committee says President Donald Trump's communications may have been "monitored" during the transition period as part of an "incidental collection." Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told a news conference Wednesday that the communications appear to be picked up through "incidental collection" and do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia. He says he believes the intelligence collections were done legally. Nunes says the communications of Trump associates were also picked up, but he did not name those associates. He says the monitoring mostly occurred in November, December and January. Nunes says he learned of the collection through "sources" but did not specify those sources.

The development followed a series of complaints by the Chief Security Officer, to the President, CSO Bashir Abubakar who was said to not have been comfortable with the soldiers protecting the president. It was gathered that the use of army officers as body guards to provide protection to the President started soon after President Buhari moved into his official residence at the presidential villa after being sworn in May 2015. But the development did not go down well with the DSS which maintained it was its duties to protect the president. It was further gathered there had been a running battle between the former Chief Security Officer (CSO) Abdulraman Mani and the Aide de Camp (ADC) to the President, Colonel Lawal Abubakar on which of the agencies would do the job. While Mani insisted on the operatives of DSS to protect the President, the ADC preferred soldiers to serve as body guards. The battle between the two aides led to the removal of the former CSO by President Buhari. Vangua...

15 Interesting facts about mysterious North Korea Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned Friday that military action against North Korea is "an option on the table," an indication that President Trump has lost patience with failed diplomacy and is prepared to confront North Korea’s nuclear threat more aggressively. Here are 15 fascinating facts about North Korea, one of the most isolated and ruthlessly ruled nations on earth: 1. The founder and first leader of North Korea, Kim Il Sung, created the country's policy of  juche  or "self-reliance," which cut off North Korea economically and diplomatically from the rest of the world, even in times of great need, such as famines. 2. Kim Jong Il, son of the country's founder, has performed amazing feats, according to state-controlled media: He scored a perfect 300 the first time he went bowling and sank 11 holes-in-one the first time he played golf. 3. During its seven-decade ex...

Why I ordered suspects out of Benue, by Ortom Hundreds of protesters yesterday stormed the National Assembly (NASS) complex in Abuja to draw the attention of the federal lawmakers to the renewed killings of persons by suspected herdsmen in some farming communities of Benue State. They were, however, denied entry by some 200 armed policemen. Apparently miffed by the incident, the protesters challenged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, to rather deploy his men to halt the maiming at Tombo Mbalagh in Buruku Local Council of the state. Led by the Movement Against Tiv Massacre (VATIM), the protesters registered their annoyance at the killing last weekend of 10 persons in the council area by herdsmen. The sad incident, they added, prompted Governor Samuel Ortom to issue a 48-hour ultimatum to security agencies in the state to fish out the culprits. However, the governor has advanced reasons for the quit order he issued to armed herders in the state. Accordin...

Before talking about the subject matter I Will like to attempt the definition of indesent dressing. Indecent dressing is a social malady in the society today especially by the youths. It simply means deliberate exposure of one’s body to the public. This is a deliberate exposure of once body which does not conform to the norms and values of the society, particularly the African society. This practice is now so common in public places like in churches and offices. Indecent dressing is caused by common phrases which are the problems of our generation like; “Only God can judge me, you can’t”, “Leave them alone”, This behaviour is of a hydra headed origin. It is not just a behaviour that developed overnight, but an accumulated behavioural pattern that could be attributed to the home due to neglect and/or poor parenting. The effects of globalization arising from wrong values of exportation and importation, reflection of high rate of moral decadence in the large society (c...

By Felix Onuah ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian   ) - Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said on Monday he had the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari for "practically everything", after taking the reins as acting president during Buhari's absence for medical treatment in Britain. During the almost two-month absence, acting president Osinbajo drove policy changes, concluding an economic reform plan required for a World bank loan. The central bank devalued the naira for retail customers after a state body chaired by him called for an urgent review. Top political posts in Nigeria are traditionally shared out to reflect the country's geographic and religious divisions. Buhari is a northern Muslim, while Osinbajo is a pastor from the mainly Christian south. Buhari, who returned to Nigeria on Friday, has written to parliament notifying lawmakers that he has resumed his presidential duties, his spokesman said on Monday. "We just had a very long meeting ... basic...

                                                   The Federal Government, on Friday, preferred nine-count money laundering charge against former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Andrew Yakubu, who was accused of stashing over N3billion at his house in Kaduna. Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recovered the alleged loot which was in foreign currencies, from Yakubu’s guest house situated at Sabon Tasha, Kaduna State, following a tip-off by a whistle-blower.

A Federal High Court in Kano, on February 13, granted an order that forfeited the recovered money to FG, a decision Yakubu had since challenged, maintaining that the money was ac...
