Planet Capable of Supporting Life Found



The planet exists outside our solar system and lies in a 'habitable zone', meaning that it isn't too near to its sun to dry out or too far away to be frozen. The planet, Gliese 667Cc, orbits around a red dwarf star (common stars in the neighbourhood of the sun, usually hosting planets called gas giants, which are not composed of rock matter), 22 light years away from the earth. Gliese 667Cc is a solid planet with roughly four and a half times the mass of Earth and receives less that ten percent less light from its red dwarf star than the Earth gets from the sun. The planet still receives nearly the same amount of energy as the Earth, which means that water could be liquid and surface temperatures could be similar to that on Earth.

In an exclusive telephone interview with Ascology News, Don Jazzy started off by saying he never wanted the issue to become this messy, even as he was aware of the way and manner social media has changed the way people view issue surrounding the lives of celebrities; a reason he said was why he’s always cautious of what he says and the interviews he grants to the media.

How Don Jazzy Betrayed Me - D'banj

Interview by Ayeni Adekinle of thenetng.com


‘There’s an important person in that building, right?’ the cab driver asked. ‘Important musician?’
I nodded, too tired to let any curious driver drag me into a conversation.
He got the message and left me alone the entire drive from Canary Wharf to the London Marriot Hotel, in Grosvenor Square.
Then, as I got down to get my suitcase from the trunk, he gave me a knowing look, smiled, and said ‘are you the musician?’
‘Of course not’, I said to him, smiling this time. ‘The musician is in Canary Wharf, his name is D’banj’.
Silence. Confused look.
‘D’banj?’
Yes, D’banj. He’s big in Africa. You know ‘Oliver Twist?’
Silence again, then as his final ‘no’ came, I said ‘Google him.’
It was 4am on Saturday, April 21. I arrived in London eight hours earlier, and had spent almost all of that time chatting with D’banj, in his first interview with a Nigerian newspaper in a long time, and his first interview on the Mo’Hits brouhaha.
London is D’banj’s town. He’s performed there over and over, his single ‘Oliver Twist’ is on the A-list at Choice FM, and enjoys heavy rotation on other stations. A day before I came, he spent hours doing interviews at the Universal offices in Kensington. Some might hail D’banj as the man championing the gospel of ‘Afrobeats’ across the world. But, just like the cab driver, London does not yet know D’banj.
As we walk into the Choice FM building in the afternoon on Saturday, there are no heads turning or fans gazing. In fact, his lawyer, Elias, who wore a pair of loud snakeskin boots, attracted more attention than D’banj.
Who leaves a zone where they’re comfortable and celebrated; where they’re established and successful, for a place where no one seems to give the slightest care?
D’banj, that’s who.

Kelly Hansome Publicly Humiliates Journalist Over Alleged False Story

Kelechi Ogbonna Orji, popularly known as Kelly Hansome, posted a picture of a journalist online yesterday. Kelly Hansome claimed the said journalist was responsible for publishing a story about him begging producers for a movie role. It was reported that Kelly Hansome vowed to take the reporter down anytime or anywhere he sees him. His wish got granted when he met the reporter. He took his gang of thugs and forced him to take a picture with the publication in his boxers (as shown in the picture). Kelly Hansome claimed that the journalist confessed to have been paid to do the story.

This isn't how to handle the situation. What happened to law suits? Kelly Hansome should be made to answer for this.

N2 Billion Naira Lawsuit Slapped at Bishop Oyedepo For Assaulting Female Church Member

News circulated last year, or was it earlier this year (my memory isn't very good at the moment), concerning a young lady who was slapped by Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and general overseer of the Living Faith Christian Church International, popularly known as Winners, during a church service last year. The girl was slapped at the alter by Bishop Oyedepo because she claimed she was a witch for Jesus (or something like that, like i wrote my memory isn't very good right now). The video of the incident went viral, i actually happened to see it.

Now, Robert Igbinedion, a Lagos based lawyer filed a N2 billion suit against Bishop Oyedepo on behalf of the young lady at the Ogun State High Court for the enforcement of the lady's fundamental rights to freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment, human dignity, fair hearing and freedom from discrimination. In the suit, Mr. Igbenedion mentioned that the young lady, while answering an "illegal" alter call, was trying to explain herself when the pastor gave her "a dirty and thunderous slap".
Mr. Igbinedion also represented the victims of Pastor Emeka Ezeugo a.k.a Reverend King at the Magistrate court in 2006.
Days after the "slapping video" went viral, another video surfaced in which Bishop Oyedepo claimed that it was his ministry to slap and that if he sees another witch, he'll slap as well.
For those who didn't see the "slapping video", you can watch it below.


Ever Heard the Story of the 'Pregnant Man'? Well Here It Is

The guy i'm talking about is Thomas Beatie. He is a transgender man (meaning he was born a female) and was recognized by Guinness World Records in 2010 as the world's "First Married Man to Give Birth". So like i wrote, he was born a female and decided to undergo sex reassignment (in which he had a chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy) to become a man but kept his reproductive rights which means that he still had a uterus and functioning ovaries. Actually i'm confused whether to use 'his' or 'her' while referring to him. Or her. Well you see my point.

Girl Commits Suicide Over Failed Marriage Proposal

A young lady, Miss Obioma Abugu, from Umuida, Enugu-Ezike in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State has committed suicide over a failed marriage proposal by her boyfriend, Mr. Ugo Nwa Onu. It is reported that Obioma who fell in love with Ugo some months ago, was selling fruits at Peace Mass Transit park junction along Umuida road. A source close to the deceased family disclosed that Obioma used some money which she had saved from her petty trading to purchase a motocyle for Ugo, who happened to be jobless when she met him. The source further revealed that shortly after the purchase of the motocycle, Ugo proposed to her and she accepted the proposal.
After a while, Ugo started an affair with another woman who happened to be rich  which Obioma eventually got to know about. Ugo later dropped the motocycle after giving an excuse that she complained a lot.
Obioma later committed suicide when she discovered that Ugo had eloped with his new lover. Obioma is reported to have been buried while Ugo was arrested by the police.

But the girl no try o. Why should she commit suicide for such a reason? And why was Ugo arrested? I don't think he committed any crime.

Panic in Kaduna Over Bomb Scare


Business activities were temporarily brought to a halt at Jama’a Road in Kaduna on Wednesday, when residents mistook a polythene bag placed beside an electric pole for a concealed explosive device.
The development caused panic among the residents, as traders and shops operators hurriedly closed their premises, while motorists abandoned the area to avoid been trapped in another explosion.
“The bag, which was dropped near a pole by the roadside in the area, was later discovered to contain waste,” an eyewitness said.
The eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that residents, who noticed the bag concluded that it might contain another explosive planted by terrorists.
“The police were alerted and they cordoned-off the area, but later realised that it contained house-hold disposables,” the eyewitness said.
The witness also said that there was a mild drama, when the police came as none of the officers was ready to approach the object.
“A young man from the neighbourhood, sensing that the police were not willing to go near the bag, moved towards it with a long stick.
“The boy, Abdullahi Olaya, 18, also of Jama’a Road, Kaduna used the stick to touch the bag and nothing happened.
“Realising that the bag did not contain any explosive device, the police arrested the boy as a suspect,” the witness further said.
The eyewitness said as a result of the arrest, confusion ensued because residents in their hundreds rose in defence of  the boy and threatened a showdown with the police.
The police had to quickly release the boy, who was immediately whisked to “safety” by sympathisers while normalcy had since returned to the area.
NAN learnt that the situation led to serious traffic hold up in the area as motorists changed routes with some making a U-turn towards the Nasarawa Road, also in Kaduna.
The spokesperson of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mr Aminu Lawal confirmed the incident.
He said a call came in and men of the command went to the scene, where they discovered that “it was leather bag full of trash”.

“When I received the call about a probable Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at Lagos street round about, we detailed some men to go to the scene.
“On reaching there they discovered that it was only a leather bag with rubbish inside and not an IED,” he said.

Lawal, however, gave the assurance that the police would ensure the protection of lives and property of citizens.

“We will continue to give people information and we call on people to report any suspicious persons and incidents round their areas because that is the only way we can curtail this menace,” he said.
The residents’ scare over polythene bag came barely three days after the Easter bomb explosion, which killed dozens of people in the city. (NAN)
