Ex-militants issue one month ultimatum over unpaid allowances

NIGER Delta Ex-militants Phase II leaders Tuesday, issued a one month ultimatum to the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku to release unpaid allowances to members of the various camps in the phase or risk another round of crisis in the region.

They also raised alarm over the non implementation of the leaders’ entrepreneurship training, lamenting that the amnesty office have been sending some of the boys for training without notifying the leaders of their camps.

Speaking with newsmen in Ughelli, Delta State on behalf of the leaders, ‘General’ Owonama Edward and ‘General’ Charles Akatakpo decried the omission of some of the members in the monthly payments.

“We have been experiencing a situation where some of the boys will receive their salaries in a particular month and have their names omitted the next month. We are insisting that the pending allowances should be paid,” they said.

While reiterating that the leaders of the phase II were not being recognized and carried along by the amnesty office, they said: “we the leaders are being treated like nuisance by the amnesty office; why? They should work towards the implementation of the leaders’ entrepreneurship training.”

Gunmen Kill 10 People in Kaduna Village

About 10 people were been killed in an early morning attack on Adu village in Atakar chiefdom, Kaura Local government of Kaduna state by unknown gunmen.

Residents said the gunmen stormed the village with sophisticated weapons at about 4:30am shooting sporadically. Daily Trust gathered that six people have been arrested in connection with the attack on Adu village after villagers rounded them up and called security operatives.

"They came to Adu village through Zankang forest numbering over 10 shooting and moving from one house to another and slaughtering people. One person was killed on top of the hills while eight others were slaughtered at Adu village," a resident said.

Another resident said, "Anthony, his wife, son and grand daughter were slaughtered in their house. Others who attempted to run were gun down."

Medical personnel at the Kaura Rural Hospital, Dr. Sheyin Madaki said five children were brought to the hospital in connection with the attack.

Chairman of Kaura Local government Hon. Kumai Badu while speaking to newsmen, called on the people of the area to remain calm, saying government was doing everything possible to provide security.

Chairman of Miyetti Allah, Southern Kaduna branch Alhaji Haruna Usman, when contacted, said, "Those arrested might be innocent people that knows nothing about the attack. That is what I can tell you for now."

When contacted, Kaduna State Police Spokesman Aminu Lawan confirmed that six people have been arrested in connection with the attack.

Meanwhile, there has been massive movement of Fulani herdsmen out of the area for fear of attacks, Daily Trust report. Residents said Fulani women and children were also seen at different motor Parks fleeing the area due to the tension caused by the attack. The Centre for Development and Rights Advocacy (CEDRA) has alleged genocide agenda against the people of Southern Kaduna.

The group in a letter addressed to the Kaduna State governor over the killing signed by Dr. John Danfulani said the Attakar village has been target of attacks in the past.

Two million refugees forced to flee Syria

"There is obviously something very wrong when two million people are forced to flee their country. Now more than ever warring parties need to come to the table and negotiate a peaceful solution that will put an end to the human suffering.

"Refugee families arriving in Jordan and Lebanon are desperate and frightened. They have little in the way of belongings and many are exhausted, having faced dangerous journeys to get to the camps. Two thirds of the refugees are women and children.

"With more and more refugees crossing the borders into neighbouring countries, already scant resources are being stretched to the limit. ActionAid is scaling up its response in Lebanon and Jordan to meet the needs of increasing numbers of refugees, but more help is needed.

"Access for humanitarian agencies to reach those most in need inside Syria is a top priority and the international community must continue to lobby for free access."

World first as woman gets pregnant seven years after ovaries removed

Twin girls expected after Australian scientists graft tissue frozen before cancer treatment on to mother's abdominal wall



Australian doctors and scientists have achieved a world first, helping a woman to become pregnant seven years after her ovaries were removed during cancer treatment, by grafting frozen tissue on to her abdominal wall.

Researchers from Melbourne IVF and the Royal Women's hospital have given hope to cancer survivors who develop menopause after treatment, after achieving the world's first pregnancy from the process.

Just before surgery removed her second ovary, Brisbane woman Vali, 24, whose surname was not released, asked doctors to preserve some of her ovarian tissue in case it was possible to graft it back in the future.

She said it had been "pretty confronting" to have found out at a young age that she might not have been able to have children.

"It didn't really hit me until I was ... 24 and I had to make some serious decisions about my healthcare then," she said. "I was really lucky with my doctors. I was able to have this opportunity even though I didn't really know anything about it."

She and her partner, Dean, moved to Melbourne so she could undergo the treatment.

Associate professor Kate Stern, head of fertility preservation at Melbourne IVF, said: "We checked the tissue again, checked with her surgeon, made sure that everything was OK and spoke with her oncologist, talked with her about the risks."

They did a first graft in 2010 and a second two years later.

"The tissue was put back in the front wall of her abdomen, so that means it's under the skin and the muscle but not inside the abdomen," Stern said.

"We wanted to see if this might help her get pregnant. Then we gave her some very gentle hormone stimulation – not the full-on IVF." .

The process produced two eggs, which were then fertilised and put back in Vali's uterus. The couple are now expecting twins.

"[We're] having two girls. I'm pretty excited,'' Vali said.

Stern said the likelihood of success when they began the process was small. "It was unlikely," she said.

"There have been 29 babies born in the world [using this procedure] – but that's all from tissue that's been grafted back into the ovary or close to the ovary. But still, with that 29 there have been multiple, multiple, multiple attempts.

"You'd never consider that this was a routine procedure or guaranteed success. You'd never think that."

The process is potentially applicable to other women who have had their tissue removed. Of the approximately one in 570 young women who will have cancer, Stern said "many of those patients they will be at risk of developing premature menopause from their cancer treatment".

Stern said there was a big team of people behind the breakthrough.

"It's amazing how everyone is so excited for our patient. We've been doing this for a long time now, so it's taken a while to get to this point."

Five Christians killed in roadside ambush near Jos

(photo) Pam Gyang, one of five Christians killed in roadside attack near Jos, Plateau state.

As Emmanuel Sunday rode his motorbike near Jos on the evening of August 29, gunmen stopped him and asked him his religion.

According to a story by Morning Star News, the 19-year-old technical school student saw a group of people the gunmen had ordered out of a mini-bus; the Christians had been told to lie on the ground.

"The gunmen asked me about my religion, and when I told them I was a Christian, they asked me to join a group of people already ordered to lie down by the side of the road," Sunday told Morning Star News.

He added, "I did as I was ordered to do, and then one of the men came and searched me and took money from me, including my mobile phone."

A final year student at the Government Science and Technical College in Bukuru, near Jos, Sunday said the gunmen had also taken the belongings of the others lying on the roadside near the Bisichi/Foron Junction, four kilometers off the Jos-Barkin Kadi Highway.

"It was when the gunmen started shooting and killing those of us that were Christians grouped together that I ran into a nearby maize farm, because it was already dark," Morning Star News reported he said. "They shot wildly at me, but I escaped unhurt, except the injuries I sustained while running in the bush."

Sunday ran for two hours before making his way back to his village. There he later learned that two of the five people slain, Pam Gyang, 33, and Felix John, 32, were from his village. All five of those killed were from the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) congregation in Foron. The pastor said the alleged killers were a combined band of ethnic Fulani herdsmen and Islamic extremist mercenaries.

Rev. Pam Jang Pam said the Islamic extremists also killed Jimmy Tiger, 28, Ishaku Gyang, 40, and Dachung Monday, 20, and wounded 21-year-old Yohanna Gyang and 35-year-old Gyang Habila. Also wounded, he said, were two other as yet unidentified Christians, including a pregnant woman.

The pregnant widow of Pam Gyang, 28-year-old Grace Yop Gyang, told Morning Star News that her husband is also survived by their two daughters and a son.

"I don't have much to say except to praise God for His sustaining grace in our lives," Gyang said. "My husband is a friend, and I'm already missing him. But what can I do but thank God for his life. I pray that through his death those who killed him will get to know Jesus as their saviour."

Pastor Pam, secretary/security supervisor of the COCIN's Foron Regional Church Council, said the incessant killing of area Christians has greatly affected the church.

Pleading that security agencies would "discharge their duties with the fear of God", Morning Star News said the pastor appealed to the government to "please do something about these attacks on us. The church is tired of these attacks."

Islamic extremist groups from outside Nigeria are suspected of aiding and inciting ethnic Fulani herdsmen who have had longstanding property disputes with Christian farmers in Plateau state, a volatile area between Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north and Christian/animist south.

Morning Star News said Christian leaders in the country claim that the vast majority of "sectarian violence" is Muslim aggression that Nigeria's Islamist media portray as Muslim-Christian clashes.

They say that in the rare instances of impoverished rural Christians coming into possession of weapons - in contrast with outside Islamic terrorist groups heavily arming Nigerian Muslim extremists - Christians use them only in self-defense.

Christians make up 51.3 per cent of Nigeria's population of 158.2 million, while Muslims account for 45 per cent. Those practicing indigenous religions may be as high as 10 per cent of the total population, according to Operation World, so the percentages of Christians and Muslims may be less.

Sunday told Morning Star News that his escape was nothing short of a miracle.

"It was not my ability that made it possible for me to escape, but it was God that made me escape to be alive to tell the story of how the attack happened and to show his miracle in my life," he said.

Somali president ‘ambushed’ – Shebab militants

 Somalia’s Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents ambushed President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud Tuesday, the militants said, claiming to have destroyed vehicles with rocket-propelled grenades.

“We ambushed a convoy that was escorting the self-appointed Somali president,” Shebab spokesman Abdulaziz Abu Musab told AFP.

The ambush took place near the small settlement of Buffow, close to the port of Merka, a former Shebab stronghold captured one year ago around 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the capital.

“We were tracking his (Mohamud’s) movements…the fighting is still going on,” Musab said.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties or confirmation from Somalia’s government.
Outside the capital Mogadishu, Mohamud usually travels in an armoured convoy under the protection of the 17,700-strong African Union force that fights alongside the Somali army.

Shebab fighters in May 2012 ambushed the convoy of Mohamud’s predecessor, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, but the president escaped unharmed.

Somalia’s weak central government, selected in a UN-backed process in August 2012, has made steps forward in Mogadishu but has little influence outside the capital.
The new government was the first to be given global recognition since the collapse of Somalia’s hardline regime in 1991.

But the authorities have been dealt a number of setbacks in recent months, including a string of Shebab attacks, accusations of rape against the army and AU soldiers and a pull-out by aid workers because of a wave of kidnappings and killings.

Nokia-branded smartphones to be phased out following Microsoft buyout

Under the terms of the £4.6bn buyout, the Nokia branding will only appear on feature phones on a 10-year license, while the Asha and Lumia trademarks will transfer to the Windows firm.



Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer with Nokia President Stephen Elop

Any future Windows Phone devices made by the newest division of Microsoft will bear the Redmond company's own branding,The Verge understands.

Microsoft's purchase of Nokia is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014 should competition regulators and the phone maker's shareholders approve the deal.

CCS Insight chief of research Ben Wood described the acquisition as a "necessary gamble" on Microsoft's part, and believes that it is a positive move for both parties.

"With mobile now firmly positioned as the world's fastest growing and largest computing platform we see this move as a bold, but entirely necessary gamble by Microsoft. Mobile needs to be a cornerstone of Microsoft's business for future success," he said.




Microsoft and Nokia have been closely linked by its Windows Phone operating systems

"The failure of Microsoft's platform-only approach over the last 15 years, initially with Windows Mobile and more recently with Windows Phone, has left it with few alternatives given its almost complete reliance on Nokia for Windows Phone devices and the competitive eco-system strength of Google and Apple."

He added: "This move should be positive for both companies. A more integrated approach to hardware, software and services will help overcome some of the challenges Nokia and Microsoft have faced operating as independent entities in terms of service integration, marketing consistency and costs, as well as time-to-market for new devices and updates."

Microsoft is aiming to triple the market share of its Windows Phone platform by 2018 with the acquisition

BBM for Android: This is what it looks like

But there’s still no official release date in place with BlackBerry still maintaining it’s coming “this summer” – which is great, but last time we checked summer was just about done. Our BBQ has been out of action for weeks now…


BBM is also coming to iOS but BlackBerry has yet to say when that will be. BlackBerry execs confirmed at BlackBerry World Live 2013 that there were no plans in place to bring the IM service to Windows Phone.

BBM for Android and iOS has been spotted in official user manuals, right on the BlackBerry Global website.

Both manuals, leaked on CrackBerry, show users how to:

1. Navigate around BBM
2. Sign in with your BlackBerry ID
3. Change your BBM status or profile
4. Add a BBM contact
5. Start a BBM chat
6. View someone's BBM profile
7. View recent BBM activities
8. View your chat history
9. Join or create a BBM group
10. Set sounds
11. Add emoticons
12. Plus troubleshooting information

It’s been reported that BBM will arrive first on Android and then iOS. BlackBerry said the service would go live before the end of the summer, following its announcement at BlackBerry World Live 2013 in May.

More recent reports have claimed BBM will launch before the end of September although BlackBerry is remaining very tight-lipped about concrete release dates. Adding fuel to the speculative bonfire that is when-will-BBM-come-to-Android is the news that Samsung Galaxy handsets may get the service first via the company’s Samsung Apps portal.

Christian Lawyers Seek End To ASUU Strike

The Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON) has called on the Federal Government to honour the agreement reached with the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) in 2009.

CLASFON described the continuous stay at home by Nigerian students as unnecessary, adding that it will affect the quality of graduates that would be produced. In a communique issued at the end of its annual national conference and signed by its president, Sunny Akanni, CLASFON said, “Frequent strikes by ASUU resulted in the increasing number of half baked graduates from our universities. The Federal Government should convey as a matter of urgency a nationaleducation Summit with a view to finding lasting solution to the crisis”.

Rita Lori, mothers, plan emergency action to end ASUU strike

Concerned mothers in the country, led by frontline activist, Chief Rita Lori Ogbebor, have announced emergency plan that could end the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

This came barely few days after negotiations between the aggrieved lecturers and the Federal Government were deadlocked, with the union threatening to withdraw from further meeting with the Governor Gabriel Suswam Committee.

Addressing journalists in Lagos yesterday, Chief Ogbebor expressed the sorrows of Nigerian women over the prolonged strike and warned that neglecting qualitative education could spell doom for the nation.

According to her, the strike has forced thousands of undergraduates out of school, with some of them enlisting in street gangs that waste their days in cyber crimes.

Chief Ogbebor, who is also the Igba of Warri, said mothers across the country would take the bull by the horn to ensure immediate resolution of the crisis between the ASUU members and the Federal Government.

Part of the steps would be to organise a nationwide conference where the women would work out plans to discuss with both parties.

Ogbebor said she was peeved by inadequate attention given to the strike, as thousands of youths sit frustrated in their respective homes across the country.

She described as unfortunate, the incessant crisis rocking the nation’s varsities, promising that mothers in Nigeria would soon commence dialogue with ASUU and the government to calm troubled waters.

“I am ashamed that we are not looking at these problems. Enough is enough. We must now face the facts. I repeat, enough is enough! We must now face the facts.

“If nobody sees these problems, the mothers in Nigeria see these problems. We do not want half-baked children. These children are with us at home. They are forming gangs because they have nothing to do. They sit at cybercafés all day.

“Their Blackberry phones have become a ready tool for them to go on internet and commit fraud. For these reasons, the mothers in Nigeria are meeting at the Rita Lori Hotel in two weeks time to deliberate on this very serious issue, to take the bull by the horn,” she said.

Chief Ogbebor described education as the bedrock of the society, noting that all women in the country craved for qualitative education for their children. She expressed disappointment with the poor attention given to the education sector, saying the swelling population of rag-tag youths on the streets constitute serious threat to security.

“So, when we begin to underrate or overlook education, I wonder what we are doing. Why are we existing? Because, if the children are not trained, what kind of society are we trying to build? Can you have a disciplined society without proper education? So, I am often amazed that we don’t seem to take education very seriously. We don’t seem to understand what education is.

“I am often marvelled. Today, we are having convention of all parties. It is a big thing that we are having convention all over the country. People are very serious about party politics but they are not serious about our existence, the existence of our children and what makes the society,” she said.

She expressed disaffection with the large number of Nigerians travelling to neighbouring African countries for quality education, describing the trend as a national disgrace.

She vowed that the mothers would not stop until they achieve a lasting solution to the problem. She warned that the women could be forced to protest on the streets if both parties hold tenaciously to their positions that had contributed to the lingering feud.

Asked whether she was hopeful that the lecturers and the government would heed the voice of women for a lasting truce, Ogbebor said no government could survive the wrath of women.

“I think there is no government, who wants the wrath of mothers. Is there any government who wants the wrath of mothers? We will return home and tell our husbands and our children that such a government is a bad one. Will you not listen to your mother? This is why we are not only hoping, we are saying it is a task that has to be done.

All mothers will come out, except those who have so much money that they sent all their children abroad.But the market women will come out.

There is no woman who will go to the market to labour if she knows her children will not go to school,” she said.

Half-billion-year-old creature discovered

During the Cambrian explosion, the diversity of life exploded and bizarre sea creatures such as the Helcocystis moroccoensis flourished. (Andrew Smith)


A fossilized, cigar-shaped creature that lived about 520 million years ago has been unearthed in Morocco.

The newfound species, Helicocystis moroccoensis, has "characteristics that place it as the most primitive echinoderm that has fivefold symmetry," said study co-author Andrew Smith, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, referring to the group of animals that includes starfish and sea urchins. Modern echinoderms typically have five-point symmetry, such as the five arms of the starfish or the sand dollar's distinctive pattern.

'Sometimes it could be short and fat, and sometimes it could be long and thin.'

- Andrew Smith, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London


The primitive sea creature, described June 25 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, could even change its body shape from slender to stumpy. Researchers say it is a transitional animal that could help explain how early echinoderms evolved their unique body plans, Smith said. 

SHOCKING: First estimate of total viruses in mammals

Minimum of 320,000 viruses; identifying them could help mitigate disease outbreaks; total cost less than a single pandemic
Scientists estimate that there is a minimum of 320,000 viruses in mammals awaiting discovery. Collecting evidence of these viruses, or even a majority of them, they say, could provide information critical to early detection and mitigation of disease outbreaks in humans. This undertaking would cost approximately $6.3 billion, or $1.4 billion if limited to 85% of total viral diversity -- a fraction of the economic impact of a major pandemic like SARS.

Close to 70% of emerging viral diseases such as HIV/AIDS, West Nile, Ebola, SARS, and influenza, are zoonoses -- infections of animals that cross into humans. Yet until now, there has been no good estimate of the actual number of viruses that exist in any wildlife species.

"Historically, our whole approach to discovery has been altogether too random," says lead author Simon Anthony, D.Phil, a scientist at the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. "What we currently know about viruses is very much biased towards those that have already spilled over into humans or animals and emerged as diseases. But the pool of all viruses in wildlife, including many potential threats to humans, is actually much deeper. A more systematic, multidisciplinary, and One Health framework is needed if we are to understand what drives and controls viral diversity and following that, what causes viruses to emerge as disease-causing pathogens."

"For decades, we've faced the threat of future pandemics without knowing how many viruses are lurking in the environment, in wildlife, waiting to emerge. Finally we have a breakthrough -- there aren't millions of unknown virus, just a few hundred thousand, and given the technology we have it's possible that in my lifetime, we'll know the identity of every unknown virus on the planet," adds Peter Daszak, PhD, corresponding author and president of EcoHealth Alliance.

TECH: Microsoft buys Nokia phones, patents for $7.2B

This Feb. 11, 2011 file photo shows Stephen Elop CEO of Nokia, left, with CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer, speaking in London, as he announces the strategic partnership with Microsoft. Microsoft says it is buying Nokia's devices and services business, and getting access to the company's patents, for a total of 5.44 billion euros ($7.2 billion) in an effort to expand its share of the smartphone market. Nokia confirmed the deal in a joint news release from the two companies Monday Sept. 2, 2013. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant, File)

Microsoft Corp. is buying Nokia Corp.'s line-up of smartphones and a portfolio of patents and services in an attempt to mount a more formidable challenge to Apple Inc. and Google Inc. as more technological tasks get done on mobile devices instead of personal computers.


The 5.44 billion euros ($7.2 billion) deal announced late Monday marks a major step in Microsoft's push to transform itself from a software maker focused on making operating systems and applications for desktop and laptop computers into a more versatile and nimble company that delivers services on any kind of Internet-connected gadget.

Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Washington state, is being forced to evolve because people are increasingly pursuing their digital lives on smartphones and tablet computers, causing the demand for PCs to shrivel. The shift is weakening Microsoft, which has dominated the PC software market for the past 30 years, and empowering Apple, the maker of the trend-setting iPhone and iPad, and Google, which gives away the world's most popular mobile operating system, Android.

Nokia, based in Espoo, Finland, and Microsoft have been trying to make inroads in the smartphone market as part of a partnership forged in 2011. Under the alliance, Nokia's Lumia smartphones have run on Microsoft's Windows software, but those devices haven't emerged as a popular alternative to the iPhone or an array of Android-powered devices spearheaded by Samsung Electronics' smartphones and tablets.

Microsoft is betting it will have a better chance of narrowing the gap if it seizes complete control over how the mobile devices work with its Windows software.

"It's a bold step into the future—a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said in a statement.

Nokia-branded smartphones to be phased out following Microsoft buyout

Cambridge firm unveils world’s thinnest keyboard

Makers of popular Beats headphones and Nike Running gadgets aims for world-beating lightweight add-on for tablets or phones

The company behind the wireless Beats headphones and Nike Running gadget has unveiled the world’s thinnest keyboard, with a flexible, wireless touchscreen just half a millimetre thick.

Cambridge-based CSR, which specialises in wireless technology, showcased a prototype of the product at the IFA consumer electronics event in Berlin, but it will be 12 months before it will be available to buy.

Paul Williamson, CSR’s director of low power wireless products, said the final form factor depended on how manufacturers bring the keyboard to market, although its primary use is likely to be as a lightweight, complementary external keyboard for tablet devices. “This is a working prototype and a glimpse forward rather than something people will be buying this year,” he said.

“We might see lots of shapes and sizes, some as small as iPad Mini or a larger, more rigid form for a desktop PC, which could be curved, in any colour way, transparent or fitted with a leather folio.” Developed in partnership with Cambridge Inkjet Technology, the interface for the product is printed out and can be customised. That could mean printing bespoke keyboards in different languages with ease, or customised keyboards for functions such as video editing and for customers who would like personalised patterns or messages on their own keyboard.

The keyboard’s touchscreen could also be used under a piece of paper to transcribe notes made with a pen and sync them to a computer.

CSR’s research has led to wireless products that enable music streaming in the popular Beats headphones, the performance-tracking tool the Nike+ SportWatch and the Jambox speaker.

Founded in 1999, CSR is one of a cluster of successful, research-focused tech companies clustered around Cambridge and “Silicon Fen” who have recently discussed introducing a “Made in Cambridge” badge to promote their products.

“The audio experience you’re getting from Beats headphones exists because we developed it, put it out there and now it is used on a global scale,” said Mr. Williamson.

“People don’t recognise that that kind of innovation is developed by a small number of very bright people here, and the pool of engineering talent and expertise here deserves a bit more credit than the app economy drive in the periphery of London.”
