Giant virus over 30,000 years old is dug up
While this ancient virus is harmless to people, the scientists behind the discovery warn that the discovery suggests that the thawing of permafrost in polar regions, as a result of either climate change or mining, could bring threats to human health.
The ancient virus, named Pithovirus sibericum, infects amoebas, not humans or animals.
It survived in the Siberian ice from a period when woolly mammoths and saber-tooth cats roamed the earth.
The scientists found it in the Chukotka Autonomous Region, the most northeasterly region of Russia, which lies across the Bering Strait from Alaska.
Its discovery was reported by the researchers, from French and Russian institutions, in an article published this week by the U.S. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Reemergence
The discovery of Pithovirus "shows how incomplete our understanding of microscopic biodiversity is when it comes to exploring new environments," France's National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) said.
And the potentially bad news: the reemergence of other viruses "is no longer the domain of science fiction," the center said.
These include viruses that were long considered eradicated, such as smallpox, whose replication process is similar to that of Pithovirus, according to the scientists.

Costly plan to reduce Somerset floods David Shukman
Efforts to help one of Britain's most flood-prone regions will cost "tens of millions of pounds", according to the Environment Agency.
A plan to safeguard the Somerset Levels is due to be unveiled tomorrow amid concerns about the funding needed to implement it.
Parts of the area have been underwater for more than two months with many homes, roads and farms still affected.
The flooding led to intense criticism of the Environment Agency last month which in turn triggered an open dispute at senior levels of government.
One immediate measure, already announced, is a scheme to clear a five-mile stretch of waterway where two key rivers meet.
Computer modelling of that proposal shows that dredging could reduce the height of flooding and its duration.
Local people have long demanded dredging of this kind, arguing that the floods have been exacerbated by silt clogging the rivers.
Further steps are expected to include installing bigger pumps and providing better protection for villages.
A long-standing proposal to build a new barrier to hold back high tides may also be brought forward.
In a winter of extreme weather, the sheer duration of the floods in the Somerset Levels has made the plight of this area highly sensitive politically.
Agreed strategy
The plan comes after the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson visited Somerset and called on local organisations to pull together an agreed strategy within six weeks.
The government has already promised an extra £10m to assist the area but there are questions about how much extra cash will be available beyond that.
This graphic shows computer modelling of a 2012 flood in Somerset versus what might have happened with dredging
The plan is designed to offer a comprehensive solution for the area ranging from encouraging farmers to retain rainwater in the uplands to improving the flow of water through the Levels themselves to helping local people make their communities more resilient.
One major cost already accounted for is £4.1m for the dredging operation along the rivers Parrett and Tone.
But officials estimate that a proposal to upgrade an artificial river, the Sowy, could cost £4m-£8m and the plan for a tidal barrier at Bridgwater - to keep the highest tides out of the River Parrett - was priced at nearly £25m back in 2009 and is understood to be higher now.
David Rooke, head of flood risk management at the Environment Agency, refused to put a price tag on the overall cost of the proposals.
But, in a BBC interview, he said: "It would be tens of millions and it would need to be sustained for the next 10-20 years."
"You're certainly talking a lot of money both from central government and local government and keeping that funding in place for many years."
Estimating benefits
Mr Rooke also warned that if the Somerset Levels were protected to a far higher standard, other areas may demand the same level of defence too - and current funding will not cover that.
"To avoid the sort of extreme event that we've seen, if we replicated that standard right across the country you'd be talking many billions of investment to give people the same standard of protection and at the moment government policy is not to do that."
Another official, speaking privately, said the assumption was that any plans to spend more than the £10m already agreed in Somerset would have to be settled in the usual competitive way.
Pumps installed near Bridgwater spew out 16 tonnes of water each second
That involves officials estimating the benefits of any scheme in terms of economic gain or households protected - and until recently, the Somerset Levels have fared badly in that calculation.
The plan to start dredging has been assessed in detail by flood risk specialists from the consultancy Black & Veatch.
Principal engineer Andy Wallis, who has long experience of the Somerset Levels, said research into an earlier flood in the same area in the winter of 2012 showed that dredging could bring benefits.
"Flooding is all about risk and you can never eliminate risk but you can very much reduce the risk and what dredging does is reduce the volume of water ending up in these areas.
"We know the current event is more extreme than last year and we know that dredging in this area would have had a benefit - it certainly wouldn't have eliminated flooding but it would have affected the duration of the event."
Other measures beyond dredging will need to be studied in more detail before being approved.

Bridgwater barrage in £100m Somerset flood plan
A tidal barrage at Bridgwater and dredging on the Somerset Levels form part of a £100m plan to combat flooding, the BBC understands.
Villages on the Levels have been cut off for more than two months following the wettest winter on record.
Prime Minster David Cameron has said that "money is no object" in sorting out the current flooding problems.
Dozens have contributed to the 20-year Flood Action Plan, which is due to be presented to the government.
The draft report, seen by the BBC, goes in to detail on a number of measures to prevent a repeat of this winter's floods.
It lists actions that could either help prevent flooding, or reduce the impact when it happens, and gives some idea of costs and ease with which they could be done.
After the devastating floods that hit the UK, the BBC has visited some of those who were badly affected
The government has already pledged £10m in support for Somerset, but the report suggests 10 times that amount will be needed over the next decade alone.
The plan includes a barrage across the River Parrett downstream of Bridgwater, to hold back the highest tides - but estimates it would be 15 years before that would be built.
It also suggests that the A361 and routes into cut-off communities - including Muchelney - are raised, but adds that this will require further investigation.
The report includes plans previously announced to dredge five miles (8km) of the rivers Tone and Parrett - restoring them to their condition in the 1960s.
It estimates this should start at the end of the month and that it will cost more than £5.5m and then £1.2m each year to maintain.
It also includes repairs to around 28 miles of flood-affected roads, resurfacing them with more flood resilient material and looking at making the pumps at Dunball and Beer Wall permanent to help clear water more quickly.
Local MP Ian Liddell-Grainger backed plans for a barrage saying the county had got to the point that it was a "no-brainer".
"I don't think there's any doubt about that - we could have saved an enormous amount of worry, time and expense by having the barrage," he said.
"The big problem is that you've always had environmentalists saying 'you can't dam rivers' but actually thousands of houses are under threat by not having a barrage."
The Conservative MP said the government had already started to look at the possibility of raising roads.
More than two months after the Somerset Levels first flooded large areas remain under water
The 23 page Somerset Levels and Moors Flood Action Plan has been compiled by Somerset County Council, the Environment Agency, residents and other interested parties.
They have also called on the government to look at who manages the water system and how it is all paid for.
The report is expected to be delivered to Environment Minister Owen Paterson on Thursday.

Top diplomats seek Ukraine solution in Paris talks
The BBC's Ben Brown says Russian forces prevented him from speaking to Ukrainian staff at the gates
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is holding talks with counterparts from the US and key EU states to try to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is holding talks with counterparts from the US and key EU states to try to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.
The US wants independent observers in the flashpoint region of Crimea and direct talks between Kiev and Moscow.
Russia was expected to call for greater representation for Ukraine's Russian-speaking areas in the Kiev government.
The EU earlier offered 11bn euros ($15bn; £9bn) of aid to Ukraine and froze the assets of 18 Ukrainians.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the package of loans and grants over the next couple of years was "designed to assist a committed, inclusive and reforms-oriented government" in Kiev.
Ukraine's finance ministry has predicted it needs $35bn to rescue the economy.
In other developments:
Hundreds of pro-Russian demonstrators have stormed the regional government building in Donetsk for the second time in recent days
Gunmen in Crimea threaten UN secretary-general's envoy, Robert Serry
Russian forces have seized two Ukrainian missile-defence sites in Crimea, according to unconfirmed reports
'Bad example'
Mr Lavrov met US Secretary of State John Kerry and counterparts from the UK, Germany and France on the sidelines of a long-planned conference on Lebanon in Paris.
Nato and Russia are also due to hold parallel talks in Brussels.
The Paris gathering is being seen above all as a chance to test the waters for a dialogue about Ukraine, says the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall.
But UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the Russians had already failed to appear at one meeting with the Ukrainians in Paris so he was "not optimistic" of making progress later.
"If we cannot make progress on that course there will be costs and consequences," he said, in reference to a threat of sanctions by the US and EU.
Troops believed to be Russian servicemen are in control of Ukrainian military bases in Crimea
Mourners at Kiev's Independence Square remember the 88 protesters who died in clashes with police
Donetsk's regional government headquarters was emptied of pro-Russian activists
Meanwhile, a recording of a phone conversation between EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet has been leaked on the internet.
In the recording, Mr Paet told Baroness Ashton that there was an "increasing understanding" in Ukraine that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's government was not responsible for the deaths of police and protesters during clashes last month in Kiev.
He said some Ukrainians believed elements from within the new regime in Kiev had employed snipers.
He said Ukrainian doctor Olga Bogomolets had told him that victims from both sides were shot by snipers using the same weapons.
However, Dr Bogomolets told the UK's Telegraph newspaper that she had never had access to victims from the government side and was unable to comment on how they had been killed.
Mr Paet confirmed that the conversation with Baroness Ashton had taken place on 26 February.
He called for an inquiry into the deaths in Kiev, but warned against using his comments to discredit the new government.
"I call for journalists to treat this recording very carefully. I was talking about the theories there were about what happened in Ukraine," he said.
Mr Yanukovych fled Ukraine shortly after the bloodshed and is now in Russia.
Russian FM Sergei Lavrov accused protesters of conducting an "armed coup-d'etat"
Moscow has since flooded the Crimea region with military personnel, claiming that Mr Yanukovych had asked for their help.
However, Mr Lavrov earlier insisted Moscow had no power to remove what it calls "self-defence forces" currently guarding key sites in Crimea, explaining that they were not Russian troops.
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) says it has sent 35 unarmed military monitors to Ukraine in response to a request from Kiev. It was not clear if they would be deployed to Crimea.
He has said he wants to see the crisis managed through international institutions such as the OSCE.
Moscow has been calling for a return to an agreement reached on 21 February with Mr Yanukovych and the opposition on constitutional reform.

Ukraine crisis: Diplomacy gathers pace ahead of talks

In other developments in Ukraine:
The national flag is once again flying over the administrative headquarters in Donetsk, replacing the Russian flag hoisted there five days ago. The building was evacuated after an apparent bomb threat
In Crimea, pro-Russian demonstrators have turned away families bringing food and supplies to Ukrainian troops refusing to surrender their bases
There are unconfirmed reports that Russian forces have seized two Ukrainian missile-defence sites in Crimea

"If we cannot make progress on that course there will be costs and consequences," he added, in reference to a threat of sanctions by the US and EU.
"It will be a test this afternoon of whether Russia is prepared to sit down with Ukraine."
Troops believed to be Russian servicemen are in control of Ukrainian military bases in Crimea
Mourners at Kiev's Independence Square remember the 88 protesters who died in clashes with police
Donetsk's regional government headquarters was emptied of pro-Russian activists
Earlier, Mr Lavrov underlined Moscow's differences with Western nations, accusing them of setting a bad example by supporting protesters - some of whom now make up the government - in their "armed coup d'etat".
But he did stress that Russia would "not allow bloodshed", adding: "We will not allow attempts against the lives and wellbeing of those who live in Ukraine and Russian citizens who live in Ukraine."
Mr Lavrov, speaking in Madrid after talks with Spain's foreign minister, also said it was up to the people of Ukraine and Crimea to decide if they wanted international monitors.
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) later confirmed that it had sent 35 unarmed military monitors - from 18 European countries - to Ukraine in response to a request from Kiev. It was not clear if they would be deployed to Crimea.
Mr Lavrov also insisted Moscow had no power to remove what it calls "self-defence forces" currently guarding key sites in Crimea, explaining that they were not Russian troops.
Personnel from the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet - which is based at the Crimean port city of Sevastopol - were in their normal positions, he added, while admitting Moscow had taken "additional special steps to raise awareness and tighten security" at its base.
While visiting Kiev on Tuesday, Mr Kerry condemned what he called Russia's "act of aggression" and praised the "restraint" of Ukraine's interim government.
He has said he wants to see the crisis managed through international institutions such as the OSCE.
Moscow has been calling for a return to an agreement reached on 21 February with the then President Viktor Yanukovych and the opposition.
This agreement included constitutional reform that would fully take into account the interests of all regions of Ukraine - giving the Russian-speaking areas in the east more influence and greater legal protection.
This, says the BBC's Richard Galpin in Moscow, would give Russia more leverage over the future direction of Ukraine.
Moscow has strongly condemned the recent change of government in Ukraine, which came after months of street protests, more than 90 deaths and the flight of President Yanukovych, a Russian ally.
Since his fall, Moscow has retained de facto control of Ukraine's southern autonomous region of Crimea.
Pro-Russian troops in unmarked uniforms began taking control of strategic points on Saturday.
Troops are surrounding Ukrainian military bases and other installations, while two Ukrainian warships are reported to be blocked by a Russian ship in Sevastopol's harbour.

BRITISH AIRWAYS IS UK'S CONSUMER SUPERBRAND 2014
BA secured the top position against 1,500 other brands vying for the prestigious title in the national survey of 3,000 adults, an annual survey that has been identifying the UK's leading brands since 1995.
This is the first time an airline or travel brand of any kind has topped the poll.
Frank van der Post, British Airways' Managing Director for Brands and Customer Experience, in a statement issued to the GNA on Monday said: 'We are thrilled to be named the Consumer Superbrand of the year. The greatest accolade is that the hard work of our teams has been recognised by the public to receive this coveted award.
"We are very proud of what we have achieved in recent years - from our role in the London 2012 Games and our investment in new aircraft and cabins, to our 'To Fly. To Serve.' campaign. We will not take this award for granted, but will continue to build on our success.'
The airline has achieved several feats recently which it believes has propelled it into winning this award. These include the introduction of some of the most technologically advanced aircraft to its fleet, including the Superjumbo A380, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Other innovations are equipping the airline's senior cabin crew with iPads, allowing them to tap into customer preference, extending in-flight entertainment until landing, trialling digital bag tags, as well as receiving Sports Industry Awards and a PRCA award for its role in the London 2012 Games such as delivering the Olympic Flame into the country, launching the 'Home Advantage' campaign, hosting 700,000 people at 'Park Live' at the Olympic Park, and a fly-past over The Mall at the end of the Games to thank the fans and athletes.
BA was also named 'Best Airline Worldwide' and 'Best short-haul carrier' in the Business Traveller Awards 2012. It also succeeded in raising £6.5 million for Comic Relief through their Flying Start partnership.
Mr. Stephen Cheliotis, Chief Executive of TCBA and chairman of the Superbrands Council stated: 'It's great to see British airways soar into first place; it has always performed well in the survey but over the last two years its reputation has climbed to new heights, partly through the cementing of its successful 'To Fly. To Serve.' positioning and the residual goodwill from its effective 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games association.'

'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Not-Really-Jenner House For Sale $6 MILLION
Sorry to burst your bubble -- but the outside view of the "Jenner House" from KUWTK isn't the house the family actually lives in -- we're told Kris and co. didn't want to show the outside of their real house (located 20 miles away) for security reasons.It's a pretty common trick in Hollywood -- except it's usually used for TV shows that shoot in studios or on sound stages.
Not really in "reality."On KUWTK, the Jenner House interior is sleek and modern -- but the interior of this 7-bedroom home is way more 19th century Italy. Check the photos.KUWTK isn't the only show to use this house either -- it's also appeared on "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Chuck," "True Blood," and "Entourage."

AIRTEL MONEY BRINGS CONVENIENCE TO YOUR DOOR STEP
Launching the platform in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer CEO of Airtel Ghana, Philip Sowah, stated that the world is becoming an essential commodity by spending long hours in queues to access goods and services, make payments on traffic trying to move from one place to another. He said this contribute to the expenses of productivity and stress on the body.

Comedy at its best Okey Bakassi Has A Word For NNPC
Nigerian foremost comedian, Okey 'Bakassi' McAnthony, is really one talented guy who knows what to say at any point in time to bring out the humour in even the direst of situations.
In the face of the biting fuel scarcity that has hit most Nigerian cities, the one-time Special Assistant on Entertainment to Imo State Governor, Ikedi Ohakim, has come out with a hilarious take on the crisis that led to the fuel shortage.
Remember the brouhaha that was caused when the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC of diverting $20 billion and other missing funds.
This is the comical take on the fuel predicament by Okey Bakassi on his Twitter handle:
Dear NNPC,
Please forgive me and other Nigerians for helping you look for your missing $20billion instead of minding our 'own business '.
We were misled by the following :
1. Sanusi: who said "your money " was missing when you, "the owner" has not said "your money" is missing.
2. APC: who said the money must be accounted for when you "the owner " is not complaining.
3. House of Representatives: who said you should account for all your income since the past 5 years.
Now that you're angry with us and we have felt your anger in the petrol stations around the country (fuel scarcity), the 3 groups that put us in this problem with you have not said anything and don't have any alternative.
We have no other choice but to ask you for forgiveness. Please give us fuel. You are aware that your sister, PHCN, is also angry with us for how she was sold and has since refused to give us power.
My fear is that if you don't do something urgent now that our brothers in the north are still busy killing people, our brothers in the south may use the small fuel left in their homes to set a few "things" ablaze and Fire Services don't even have fuel and water to respond.
We promise not to ask you about "your missing money" again if you can resume fuel supply. God is watching all of us oh!
Hmmmmm
Truly yours,
@okeybakassy

After the discussion, she says that Obesere then asked for sex and she refused. He then insisted that she spend the night because it was getting quite late. She agreed based on the belief she had in his integrity as a responsible man, only to be shocked by the ensuing events.
She claims she was raped, and he inserted a ring he wore into her genitals. After which she started bleeding. She says he then left her in the room and went out.
Obesere was arrested last Wednesday after the woman reported the case to the police, but was later released on bail. Medical check-up on the woman reveals that she was actually raped; the matter has since been transferred to the state criminal investigation department. Obesere was then rearrested on the following Monday after a warrant was issued by the Chief Magistrate of the Isolo Magistrate court.
When questioned, Obesere claims that he and Miss Olanike were lovers and they had made love when she visited. He also said he advised her to seek medical attention when the bleeding had started but was surprised when she came up with the story of rape.
Reports say he is now in police custody.
How true are these allegations?

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie! Whitney Houston's Family Fighting Over What?
Whitney Houston's family at war!
Bobbi married adopted brother Nick early this year
Late singer Whitney Houston's family is showing a different side of the singer's household by fighting over little things.
According to TMZ, Whitney's son-in-law got his ass beaten by one of the singer's nephews at a formal family gathering all because of a long-simmering family feud.
The site claims Whitney's nephew, Gary Michael Houston, went nuclear on Bobbi Kristina's husband, Nick Gordon at a sweet 16 party for the singer's niece Rayah. Gary allegedly slammed Nick to the floor and pummelling his face and accusing him of talking crap about the family to the public.
Some family sources say the party was a formal affair with everyone in tuxes and long gowns but Gordon showed up in a hoodie and knit cap and "looking like a thug."
Gary felt Gordon had insulted the family one too many times and as soon as the party was over, he delivered the beat down. It was allegedly a huge fight and now, the two are now sluggin' it out on Twitter.
Gordon posted, "F*** all of em they've tried to fight me (Gary H) jealous ass n***a."
In response, Gary tweeted, "He still kind a sore from that last trip I sent him on smh .... I tried to tell him to buckle up lol."
What is exactly going on here? Grow up, would y'all?

Can You Believe This? Beyonce's Dad Is Now Broke Can't Pay For Child Support!
Image1: Matthew Knowles so broke to pay for child support
Beyonce fired her dad as manager in 2011.
Beyonce's father and former manager Matthew Knowles is almost declaring bankruptcy and for that reason, he claims he can't afford to take care of his only son he had from a cheating affair.
Knowles reportedly asked a judge to reduce the $12,000 monthly child support he pays his baby mama, Alexsandra Wright, with whom they share a 3 year old son, Nixon Knowles.
We earlier reported that he may have formerly refused to accept the kid and even hesitated to come forward to take care of his needs. Now he says he can't pay that high amount of cash because he's broke!
Matthew reportedly used to make $3 million a year before his daughter fired him in 2011. Recent facts hold that he raked in just $127,000 in 2013. Knowles also claims even though his income has been slashed, his expenses remain sky high -- $51,000 a month. To make up the shortfall, he's liquidating his assets, according to TMZ.
Well, seems his plea was heard loud and clear. The family court judge apparently validated his financial plight, and reduced his child support from $12,000 to $2,485 a month.
Do you believe Matthew is telling the truth? How come he hasn't or can't get another artist managerial job since he was undoubtedly super successful with Destiny's Child and his daughter Beyonce?

HipHop Combat Rick Ross Blasts 50 Cent – You're Irrelevant!
How irrelevant is Fiddy when he still rakes in millions of dollars each year?
50 Cent insinuates Diddy & Ross are gay lovers on Instagram
We may think the best answer to a fool is silence but Rick Ross is taking his alleged beef with 50 Cent to an even higher level. He says Fiddy is IRRELEVANT!
We earlier reported that the G-Unit star may have been hoping to start a blood feud when he publicly insinuated with a suspicious Insta-photo, that Rick Ross and Diddy were gay lovers but sources close to Ross have confirmed that there will be no act of vengeance.
According to TMZ, Rozay won't respond to Fiddy for one simple reason - he doesn't give a crap about 50 Cent or anything he says because he thinks '50 is immaterial'.
50 posted a picture on Instagram Sunday showing Ross leaning too close to Diddy as if they're about to kiss ... with a caption that said, 'something ain't right' - with the clear implication the rappers are gay.
Do you think Ross is right to stay silent?

Legendary Prophet T.B. Joshua Predicted Russian/Ukraine War On December 19
He is being credited with predicting, on December 19, 2013, the current ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia along the two countries border.
The clergy who is highly regarded in Africa just as much as he is seen as a controversial figure, a YouTube video of the prediction had him say this:
Pray for the nation, Russia, because I am seeing war coming against them. Pray for them.
Their leader will face greater opposition.
The opposition will be so much that it will squeeze him and that will turn the nation into another thing.
The message which was delivered via the church's religious television station, Emmanuel TV, is now being circulated and more people have come to believe that Prophet T.B Joshua is indeed a great psychic.
Recall that many of his prophecies on world issues have been very accurate and they do come to pass just like he says.
He had predicted the sudden death of Malawian leader, Bingu wa Mutharika, the terrorist attack in Boston and the demise of pop legend Michael Jackson.
It is time to take the man serious.

Breaking News Wole Soyinka Attacked By Abacha’s Son!
Image1: Sadiq Abacha, son of Late General Sani Abacha has called Soyinka a coward.
Nigeria's Nobel Prize Winner, and literature legend, Professor Wole Soyinka, has been attacked by Sadiq Sani Abacha, the son of ex-Military President of Nigeria, Late General Sani Abacha, over some statements made by Soyinka in his recent open letter about corruption and terrorism.
Soyinka, had published a written statement a few days ago, criticizing the Nigerian Government for bestowing honours on the Sadiq's father, the Late Sani Abacha, during the country's centenary celebrations.
"We are speaking here of a man who placed this nation under siege during an unrelenting reign of terror that is barely different from the current rampage of Boko Haram. It is this very psychopath that was recently canonized by the government of Goodluck Jonathan in commemoration of one hundred years of Nigerian trauma." Soyinka had stated in his released statement.
That didn't go down well with the Abacha family, and Sadiq has risen to reply Soyinka in an impassioned letter which clearly brands Soyinka 'a coward'.
Read below.
If you want to think, speak and act logically then you should know all three.
1. The law of identity
2. The law of excluded middle
3. The law of non contradiction.
Now let's look at each one of these and see what they mean in practice.
1. The law of identity
The law of identity means that things are what they are, which at first doesn't seem very illuminating, but wait; it implies also the following, that things are what they are, whether you like them or not, it implies that things are what they are whether you know them or not, it implies that things are what they are whether you agree with them or not. Continue...
«However, if you don't like the facts as they are you are going to have to put up with them, because facts are what they are, if it's raining on your golf day, get used to it! Because the facts are what they are and are often not what you want them to be, like if the traffic lights turn red when you approach, stop complaining! The law of identity means that you must adapt yourself to the facts and start your work from there, it implies that the facts will not bend to meet your expectations. You must first adapt yourself to what life is and then get to work changing and improving things in your life, be brave to meet reality as it really is and not how you would wish it to be.
2. The law of excluded middle.
The law of excluded middle means that you should give a straight yes or no answer always and there is no middle ground. The law means that there is no kinda yes and kinda no, there is no 'sort of' being married because you are either married or you are not, you are either a thief or you are not, you are either on time or not, you are either living in Nigeria or you are not. The law is the idea that you should not try to keep all of your options open by staying in the middle or hedging, when it suits you, like when you accepted an appointment during IBB's regime as chairman of FRSC. I bet that was a military regime you partook in. Please pick one wife and state your claim 100% to her, pick one idea and go for it 100%! Decide and commit Sir! There you might find great power and self satisfaction in the doctrine of decide and commit. No half way measures, no middle ground, exclude the middle! Here! The law of excluded middle Sir.
3. The law of non contradiction.
The law of non contradiction says don't contradict yourself simple. If you say you will be there then be there. If you say you will do it then do it. Don't say or fight for one thing and then do the opposite. Don't say one thing and then later deny that you said it. Don't say one thing and then later contradict it. Be consistent in your thoughts and actions. Observing someone who was a socialist in the morning but then became a capitalist in the evening is a textbook on contradiction, these are two polar opposites, such a person is clearly inconsistent and is therefore considered a flip flop, confused, easily led or misled or at best a lunatic who has no clear understanding of the basis of either doctrine.
Apply these three logics to others with consistency and then you can ask for the same or expect the same from others, and then you can also ask for others to deal with facts not fantasy, which is the law of identity. Ask others to make up their mind to decide and commit. The law of excluded middle.Then ask others to follow through on the things that they say they would do. The law of non contradiction.
Sir, I believe brilliance is not perfection. I have grown and watched you criticize regime after regime and at that young and naive age I was thinking why wouldn't this man just contest to be president so that Nigeria can be saved, I would have defiantly voted for Mr Soyinka if it would have brought an end to Nigeria's woes. To my utter surprise, I heard about your FRSC leadership and how funds were misused and a great deal of it unaccounted for. "Oh my God! In the end he turned out to be just the same as everybody else" were my next thoughts. My hopes for you, all ended up in great disappointment.
Here I find myself defending my father 15 years after his death because some of you have no one else to pounce on, or rather, you have chosen a dead person to keep pouncing on over and over again when you have more than an array of contestants. A coward's act I believe. "A common writer" is what I have heard you being referred to lately, and I believe a mature mind would now agree to such referrals. With all due respect, there is a great challenge that faces the country, we have to put our heads together, rather than clashing, our collective ships must sail in the same direction, let us leave the ghosts of past contention and face the future bravely as one, criticizing the past does not help the present or define a path to the future.
You say, with the weight of your sense of history and the authority you possess on national issues that " a vicious usurper under whose authority the lives of an elected president and his wife were snuffed out" referring to my late father, you must be growing old, or you would rightly recall that that president elect you refer to did not die while my father was alive. Did you slyly change your facts to fit a history that would better serve your narrative, or are you just plain forgetful? Either way, it shows you are losing your grasp of reality.
Comparing my father's leadership to Boko Haram's current reign of terror, is a rather cheap shot, you are in no position to examine, judge and sentence an entire regime based on the information you think you have, you are privy to almost none of the true facts, what is at your disposal is at best, hearsay, or were you ever minister of defence? did you ever sit in during security meetings, evaluate the facts and subtleties of national security? You remind me of Obama criticizing the Republicans before he became a sitting president himself, vouching to put an end to all American occupation, this all came to an abrupt end once he had access to the briefs and security issues, economic and political, facing his nation. Surely he did what he could, and history will judge him. To lead is not to be a rock star, and to be a Nobel laureate is not to be a an antagonist of this countries legacy..We are Africa's leaders, whether we like it or not, we cannot trivialize the centenary celebration, it happens only once, let us come together, if only for this one occasion and agree to disagree.
Open rebellion against the current government at this time, on the manner of the centenary celebrations, for whatever reason, is tactless, it is not about you, it is about our nation, our beloved country. There is a time and place for everything. My late father was a Nigerian, lived in Nigeria and died protecting our interests to the best of his ability, critiquing placing him on the honor roll, along with many deserving dignitaries is your right, you have the right to your own opinions, but you do not have the right to your own facts. Facts stand alone, regardless of who espouses them, let posterity judge, but you are clearly politicizing a dead issue, how could you not be? Having an issue with the naming of a hospital after the late General and leader? really ? Now ?
It almost seems as if you want to turn back the hands of time, what else would you like to undo besides the naming of the hospital, would you like to unmake Bayelsa state, Zamfara state or the others? What about the advances we made in commerce, reducing the inflation rate, what about security and welfare, how many projects, hospitals and schools were created? inflation went from 54% to 8.5%! my father oversaw an increase in our foreign currency reserves from 494 million dollars in 1993 to 9.6 billion dollars by the middle of 1997, that is unprecedented , 15 years after the PTF the benefits are still being reaped today in Nigeria, What of peace keeping and nation building, not just in West Africa but the entire continent, restoring democracy in Liberia and Sierra Leone, all these under my father's leadership, are all these not laudable? Or would you like to undo them all. All this on 8$ per barrel of oil! You have to be kidding me.
You are a learned man, you would have to undo all your learning to knowingly wish to undo all these achievements! I will be the first to proclaim that my fathers leadership was not pitch perfect or spot free, that does not exist, maybe in utopia but not here on this earth, so let us keep our discourse set in the sphere of reality please, he deserves the award, and he did not campaign for it, let it go, Sir...and allow Nigeria to at least bask in our survival and endurance in our growing prosperity and development in these trying times. I have been accused of being an optimist, hence, I am optimistic that you will come around and accept that we can all come together and face the future together, forgive each other our wrongs while celebrating our rights, I am still an admirer of your works after all, however, I cannot and will not attempt to answer your every charge, this is not the time or place, this is a time for solidarity, if only you were wise enough to grasp this.
I applaud the patience of President Goodluck Jonathan and his composure and restraint in not having a knee jerk reaction at such a pivotal moment in our nations history, but you would mar the occasion, Sir, in the future, please pick your battles, and do better to safeguard your relevance, Enough Sir!
Sadiq Abacha.

Is He Okay? Justin Bieber Enjoys His Jail Cell
Bieber enjoys jails time by showing off his new tatts for the cams in Miami Jail
Bieber shows off tattoos and muscles in jail
The Miami Beach Police Department has released recent pictures of pop sensation Justin Bieber or Bizzle showing off his recent tattoos and bumped up muscles while serving time behind bars.
The controversial singer looked ok and seems to be enjoying his stay in jail as well as posing for the military cameras. There is also a video released yesterday showing him working out in jail - push-up video .
The Miami Beach PD presumably snapped the pics to keep a record of Bieber's identifying marks but it seems hilarious that the Biebs obviously doesn't thinks so. He may be thinking,
«The police will release them anyway so let me show my fans and haters that 'I am doing just fine.
For that sole purpose could have been found standing with two gold chains around his neck in prison!
Between the weeping Jesus face and the inexplicable Native American head (the singer once claimed he was "part Indian"), we really can't decide which is our favourite. lol
