VOTE FOR COMRADE LAMPTAY IK ORIAKHI AS PRESIDENT (Nigerian community in the federation of Spain)

 

Fellow Nigerians, in the wake of the present social economic and moral necessities within the Nigerian community in the federation of Spain and across the west, it has become necessary for me to make this clarion call; not just as a candidate running for the presidency of the Community of Nigerian Nationals in Madrid Spain, but as a concerned and patriotic Nigerian citizen who is motivated to drive a much needed change in our community in the Diaspora.

Today in the federation of Spain, it is no longer news that Nigerians are deported indiscriminately on a regular basis. I believe this is unacceptable and it is a policy that betrays the moral sensibilities of the average Nigerian in the land of Spain. Therefore it is part of my manifesto that if voted in as President, it shall be a primary responsibility in consultation with the leadership of Nigerians in Spain to negotiate with the Nigerian embassy in Spain on the need to stop the indiscriminate signing of TCs to Nigerians in deportations camp.

N.J. governor under fire over decision to lower flags for Whitney Houston

Facing angry critics, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is defending his decision to fly flags at half-staff on Friday to honor late New Jersey native Whitney Houston.
The executive order, released by his office Thursday, cites the singer's ties to the Garden State, her remarkable voice and far-reaching influence in support of the move.
"Whitney Houston's vibrant and spectacular voice endeared her to countless fans in New Jersey, across the nation, and around the world," the executive order read. "(She) left a legacy in this State that will be cherished for many years."
The governor's decision to lower flags for Houston drew immediate ire from some social media users.
"I heard you also had the flags lowered to half mast for Whitney! Really? I fail to see the reasoning behind that," tweeted user @MrsTovmassian.
"Shame on you for ordering our flag to be flown half-mass for a singer who od'd! What about our soldier and real Heros?" tweeted user @Jaxio.
The governor, who is an active on the micro-blogging site Twitter, fired back.
"Every NJ soldier who has been killed in action during my Adm had the flags lowered in their memory. Learn your facts before accusing," he wrote.
Though no official cause of Houston's death has been released, many on Twitter contested Christie's decision because of the singer's reported battles with drug addiction over the years.
One user named @steakprincess posted: "She's not a fallen hero. I am not alone in taking offense to this. she's no role model. she's a dead junkie."

Whitney Houston: Comments on Whitney's tragic death

A husband hated by the Houston family: Bobby Brown and Whitney at a Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2001

Tuning in to a radio phone-in show on Wednesday evening, as they inched through the decaying urban sprawl where Whitney Houston was born and raised, the commuters of New Jersey were stirred by a vitriolic debate.
Earlier that day, state governor Chris Christie had issued a special decree, ordering the Stars and Stripes flag to be lowered on public buildings for the singer’s funeral — an honour usually afforded only to fallen servicemen and great civic figures — and the battle lines were drawn.
‘She was just a drug addict!’ stormed one former U.S. Navy sailor, to murmurs of agreement from programme host Steve Trevelise. ‘It’s a disgrace that our society celebrates people who take the wrong path. This is somebody who had it all and chose to throw it all away.’

Kim Kardashian & Khloe stepping out in different styles.

Sibling style: Kim Kardashian was seen stepping out with her legs covered up earlier today while her sister Khloe showed off her pins last night

Their brand is built on their family and their figures but Kim and Khloe Kardashian were seen stepping out in very different styles.
Last night Khloe donned a super short skirt to show off her tanned and noticeably toned legs as she left the taping of a TV show in Hollywood.
But Kim covered her famous curves, and her pins, today in a pair of trousers as she left her home in Los Angeles.
 
The sisters were sporting extremely different styles with the elder sister displaying a pale skin-tone while Khloe had clearly hit the fake tan.
Khloe, 27, who is currently promoting her upcoming reality show with her husband Lamar Odom has spoken out about Kim’s estranged husband Kris Humphries.
She has admitted she was ‘rubbed up the wrong way’ by the basketball star whose marriage to Kim lasted just 72 days.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab:Underwear bomber gets life sentence

 

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab  given a mandatory life sentence Thursday for trying to blow up a packed jetliner with a bomb sewn into his underwear. People aboard the flight testified that the failed attack had disturbed their sleep and travels for more than two years.

 Farouk Abdulmutallab was the same remorseless man who four months ago pleaded guilty to all charges related to Northwest Airlines Flight 253. He seemed to relish the mandatory sentence and defended his actions as rooted in the Muslim holy book, the Quran.

"Mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God," he said. "Today is a day of victory."
Had the bomb not fizzled, nearly 300 people aboard the flight would probably have been killed.
The case stirred renewed fears that terrorists could still bring down an American jetliner more than eight years after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, and it accelerated installation of body scanners at U.S. airports.
Before Thursday's sentencing, four passengers and a crew member from the flight told U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds that they have struggled to live and travel normally since the incident on Christmas Day 2009.

During their remarks, Abdulmutallab appeared disinterested, rarely looking up from his seat just a few feet (meters) away.

Abdulmutallab "has never expressed doubt or regret or remorse about his mission," Edmunds said. "In contrast, he sees that mission as divinely inspired and a continuing mission."
Life in prison is a "just punishment for what he has done," the judge said. "The defendant poses a significant ongoing threat to the safety of American citizens everywhere."
Abdulmutallab, the 25-year-old, European-educated son of a wealthy Nigerian  banker, tried to set off the bomb minutes before the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight landed.
The government says he first performed a cleansing ritual in the lavatory — brushing his teeth and perfuming himself — then returned to his seat. The device didn't work as planned, but it still produced smoke, flame and panic.

He was subdued by fellow passengers and quickly confessed after getting hauled off the plane. He told authorities that he trained in Yemen under the eye of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric and one of the best-known al-Qaida figures.

The judge allowed prosecutors to show a video of the FBI demonstrating the power of the explosive material called PETN found in Abdulmutallab's underwear. As the video played, Abdulmutallab, who was wearing a white skull cap and oversized prison T-shirt, twice said loudly, "Allahu akbar," or God is great.
