Former president's son sentenced to 8 months in jail for stealing mobile phone

Frederick, the son of former president Frederick
Chiluba, has been convicted for stealing a mobile
phone
- A magistrate court sentenced him to eight months
imprisonment with hard labour

facing one count of theft for allegedly stealing Brenda
Chisha's phone
The son of Zambia's second republic president

sentenced to eight months imprisonment with
hard labour for stealing a mobile phone by the
Lusaka magistrate court, Lusaka Times reports.
 gathered that the 34-year-old was
facing one count of theft for allegedly stealing
Brenda Chisha’s phone.
Frederick Chiluba Jr, a retired ZAF officer who
graduated in 2014, was convicted of stealing a
Samsung S7 edge, valued at K8,500 from Chisha,
on September 2, 2017 and traded it for drug in
Chibolya.


Chisha in her testimony, told magistrate Chabala
that she met Chiluba in Woodlands on September
2, 2017 and he asked to use her phone.
“I have known him for years and it was an S7 so I gave
him and he used it for two minutes then gave it back to me.
About 10 minutes later, he came and asked to use the phone
again and I gave him but he started moving further and
further away from where we were. I then asked Isaac, who
will be a witness to get my phone from him and that was
the last time I saw the phone.
“On Sunday he was caught and taken to Kabwata Police.
When I asked him where the phone was, he said he had
forgotten it somewhere. That same day, the uncle came and
assured me that they would buy me another phone,”
Chisha said.
Chisha suggested that she wanted to withdraw
the case as they were family friends but
magistrate Chabala ordered that she would
proceed to hear the witnesses.
Chiluba in his defence, denied stealing the phone
and insisted that he returned it to the
complainant. He recounted that on that day, he
was having drinks with Chisha at Mommas Pub

2019: There’s plot to ‘knockout’ Buhari - Senator Marafa

Senator Kabir Marafa has alleged that there are plans
to technically 'knock out' President Buhari ahead of
2019 general elections
- President had on Monday, April 9, declared intention
to seek re-election in 2019
- Marafa also noted that there are some people within
the party's NWC who wanted to scuttle the recently
conducted congress in Zamfara state
Senator Kabiru Marafa representing Zamfara
central senatorial district at the upper legislative
chamber raised the alarm that plots are on to
technically knockout President Muhammadu
Buhari in the 2019 election.
Daily Trust reports that Marafa who is the
chairman of the Senate committee on petroleum
said in an interview that he was tear-gassed
during a parallel congress conducted by his camp
in Zamfara on Saturday, May 12.
adegokblog .com gathered that the senator said that the
state government mobilised heavily to prevent
an innocent citizen from carrying out his civic
responsibility
He said: "There was an incident in my local government.
The police I believe under the instruction of the state
government mobilised heavily to prevent an innocent citizen
from carrying out his civic responsibility, and that was me.
"Saturday, 12th of May was the date fixed by the APC for
local government congresses, and as a party man and a
politician, I drove to my local government headquarters
where the event was supposed to take place.
"On reaching there, I met massive security buildup
comprising mobile policemen and officials of the Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
"I was informed that the area commander was there, so I
tried to see him but I couldn't. There was an APC vehicle
stationed there, this time not APC political party but
Armored Personnel Carrier. Before I knew it, one of my
mobile policemen was manhandled. So I moved forward to
ask what the problem was and they threw teargas right in
front of me.
"In a nutshell, the mobile policeman was manhandled,
harassed and disarmed. My orderly was equally disarmed.
So I tried to ask what was the problem, they were just busy
throwing tear gas. But I thank God that they did not deter
me.
"The whole thing was just to stop me from organising or
conducting my own local government congress. But the
beauty of it is that the world has seen that the state
government lacks confidence of the people that is why there
was that massive police or security buildup. If you are
popular in politics, you don’t need any security agent to
help you organize your own affair.
He added that: "The state government has lost
popularity and touch with the people so it is afraid of
elections. What I simply asked was that let these congresses
be conducted following our guidelines. That is what I asked
for. What do the guidelines say?
"They show how the ward congresses should hold; how the
local government should go, and this is how that of the
state should go. So why the massive buildup of security? If
you had done the right thing, people will see it, people will
be the judges too. I think the whole essence was aimed at
either embarrassing me or intimidating me, but that is not
possible because they cannot stop me from defending my
right.
"Like in Zamfara now, we had parallel congresses - we now
have two sets of executives, one by the state government
and another by me. I have followed due process from
beginning up till where we are now. But the state
government didn’t because they have security apparatus at
their disposal.
"As far as I am concerned, there are some people within the
NWC that are desirous of scuttling the processes thereby
endangering the electoral success of the APC. They may rule
against me on the case I made to the appeal committee for
instance, but one thing I'm sure of is that the court will rule
in my favour.

Meanwhile,adegokblog .com had previously reported
that following the killings of Innocent citizens in
Zamfara state, a chieftain of the APC, Comrade
Timi Frank, on Wednesday, February 14, urged
that such an issue should not be swept under the
carpet.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Theo
Ekechi, who spoke to newsmen after a closed-
door meeting with the APC national leadership
on Thursday, May 17, in Abuja, said the

governor to get attention from any quarter in the
state and in the South-East region.

“There have been wide jubilation in Imo because we have
rescued the party from Governor Okorocha, we have made
it impossible for him to get help from anywhere.
“He cannot run to any political figure in the state because
none is with him, he cannot approach any clergyman in the
state.
“In his desperation, he ran to Sokoto, Daura and even to the
vice president, but help has refused to come,” he said.
Ekechi further said Rochas’s inaction was
responsible for the problems facing the party in
the state and the South-East generally.
In a petition submitted to the party’s national
leadership, the stakeholders detailed what they
described as the governor’s sins and appealed
for state of emergency in the state.
Ekechi called on the party’s national chairman to
bring to the notice of President Muhammadu
Buhari the crisis in Imo before it completely gets
out of hand.


He alleged that the state was being mis- managed
under Okorocha, adding that the governor was
running the state like a personal estate.

and intimidating perceived opponents in the
state.
Adegokblog .com earlier reported that the metropolitan

60 percent of the people in West Africa are Nigerians - Dambazau

Abdulrahman Dambazau says the federal
government took the decision as part of efforts to
curtail clashes between farmers and herdsmen
- The effort includes the introduction of biometric
registration to monitor the movement of people,
goods and livestock into Nigeria
- Danbazau says 60 percent of the people in West
Africa are Nigerians
Abdulrahman Dambazau, Nigeria’s interior
minister, said on Thursday, May 17, in Abuja
that the federal government has introduced the
use of biometric registration to monitor the
movement of people, goods and livestock into the
country.

address farmers/herdsmen crises reportedly
noting that Nigerians make up 60 percent of the
people in West Africa and thus has a high
migration level.

Daily Independent reports that Dambazau said
the new move was important as a result of the
ECOWAS free movement treaty which Nigeria is
a signatory.
Noting that a conference was recently organised
within the ECOWAS sub-region to review its
protocol on the free movement of goods, humans
and livestock, he was quoted as saying: “60 per
cent of the people in West Africa are Nigerians.
You need to know the number of Nigerians who
cross the borders to other countries to look for
livelihood.
“It is important for us to see how we can create a balance
between the implementation of the protocol and the
security of our borders.
“We have introduced the use of biometrics in other to
ensure that we take account of every person that comes
into Nigeria.”
The minister reportedly appealed to the media
and citizens to look at the crisis between farmers
and herdsmen as a national issue rather than
one to which sentiments should be attached.
Danbazau also noted that the Nigeria Police
Force was currently asking people to openly
declare their arms.


“We have given directive and this is why you see the police
going from place to place asking people to declare their
weapons.
“We have given this grace after which we will go out and
condone suspected areas, get the weapons out and even
prosecute those illegally handling them,” he said.
Adegokblog.com earlier reported that President
Muhammadu Buhari directed the military and
the police to put mechanism in place to ensure
that there is no reprisal attacks in Plateau state.
President Buhari, who was reacting to the killing
of over 20 persons by suspected herdsmen, said
the madness should not be allowed to continue.

Trump asked me twice the difference between HIV and HPV - Bill Gates

Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, said on two occasions
he was asked by the United States president, Donald
Trump, if HIV and HPV were the same
- Gates said the first time the president asked him the
question was in December 2016 and the second time
was in March 2017
Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft founder,
Bill Gate, has revealed that the United States
president, Donald Trump, didn't know the
difference between human immune deficiency
virus (HIV) and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Gates said that President Trump had asked him
twice if HIV and HPV were the same thing,
adding that the first time he asked was at Trump
Tower in December 2016 and the second time
was in March 2017, USA Today reports.
adegokblog .com notes that the Microsoft founder said:
"Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference
between HIV and HPV. So, I was able to explain that those
are rarely confused with each other."


He also described a time he saw the president
speaking with his 22-year-old daughter, Jennifer
Gates.
Gates said: "And then, like 20 minutes later, he flew in in
a helicopter to the same place. So, clearly he had been
driven away, but he wanted to make a grand entrance in a
helicopter. When I first talked to him, it was actually kind
of scary how much he knew about my daughter's
appearance. Melinda didn't like that too well."
He also said Donald Trump had asked him if
vaccines were bad for consumption, that he was
exploring forming a commission to look into the
"ill effects of vaccines".
Gates added: "I said, 'No, that's a dead end. That would
be a bad thing. Don't do that."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, HIV is different from HPV. The virus
is the most common STD. It has infected 79
million Americans. In most cases, people with
HPV do not have health problems, but the virus
can cause cancer.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would pay off
Nigeria’s $76 million debt to Japan, over a 20-
year period, beginning in 2018.

disease.
As a result of the loan, Nigeria recorded no new
case of the disease in 2017; a major improvement
from 2012 when the country had over half of all
polio cases worldwide.
Gates had also acknowledged the significant
strides made towards eradicating the disease
globally.

Bukola Saraki is set to lead a 10-man delegation to
President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged attempt to
implicate him
- The Senate president said the Kwara state Governor
Abdulfatai Ahmed brought his attention to an alleged
plan by the IG of police to force some suspects to
implicate him in a criminal matter
- Members of the delegation are the leader of the
Senate Ahmed Lawan, the chief whip Olusola Adeyeye,
minority whip Godswill Akpabio
The president of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki is
set to lead a 10-man delegation to President
Muhammadu Buhari over alleged attempt to

Senate Ahmed Lawan, the chief whip Olusola
Adeyeye, minority whip Godswill Akpabio, Sen.
Oluremi Tinubu (APC-Lagos) and Sen. Raji Rasaki
(APC-Ekiti).
Others are Senator Aliyu Wammakko (APC-
Sokoto), Senator Sam Egwu (PDP-Ebonyi),
Senator Danjuma Goje (APC-Gombe) and Senator
Abdullahi Adamu (APC-Nasarawa).
While addressing his colleagues, Saraki said the
Kwara state governor Abdulfatai Ahmed brought
his attention to an alleged plan by the inspector
general of police, Ibrahim Idris, to force some
suspects to implicate him in a criminal matter.
He said the governor informed him that the
suspects who were arrested in Kwara for cultism
were allegedly ordered by Idris to Abuja to force
them into altering their statements.
“According to information available to the governor, the
inspector general of police directed the commissioner of
police in Kwara state to immediately transfer the men to
the force headquarters
” The plan as the governor was made to understand is that
under duress, the suspects would be made to alter the
statements already made in Ilorin.
“They will be made to implicate the Kwara state
government and myself in particular in their new statement.
” This plot is part of the strategy by the IGP to settle scores
over the declaration by this honourable chamber that he is
not qualified and competent to hold any public office.
“In my view, this plot is an act of desperation, blackmail,
intimidation, abuse of office and crude tactics aimed at
turning our country into a police state.
“The tactics is aimed at turning the country into a state
where top officials cannot be made to obey the law, follow
due process and subject themselves to constituted
authorities.
“I want to bring this dangerous development to the
attention of all of you, the entire country and the
international community so that you can be aware of the
level of impunity in our country and the danger it
constitutes to our democracy,” he said.
Contributing, the deputy leader of the Senate,
Bala Na’ Allah said the matter should be treated
with the seriousness it deserved.
He said for the matter to come from the chief
security officer of Kwara state, it should be taken
seriously.
He called for the setting up of a committee to
investigate the matter, adding that: “In view of
the fact that Saraki is involved he should step
down for Ekweremadu to preside on setting up of
the committee.”
Senator Gbenga Ashafa-(APC-Lagos) said the
committee should comprise of members of the
Senate and the House of Representatives in view
of the fact that Saraki is the chairman of the
national assembly.
The chief whip, Olusola Adeyeye, said the
committee should comprise of seven lawmakers
from each of the six geopolitical zones
He added that the House of Representatives
should be intimated on the development and
advised to do same if they so wished.
Senator Sam Anyanwu(PDP-Imo) lamented the
fact that lawmakers were being intimidated from
carrying out their responsibilities.
He said : “We should not trivialise this matter. If it is
happening to Saraki then we are all in trouble.
” Many of us have been earmarked. It is a calculated
attempt to ridicule the person and integrity of the Senate
President and the national assembly as an institution.”
Senator Kabiru Marafa(APC-Zamfara) suggested
that rather than setting up a committee to
investigate the matter, the committee should visit
President Buhari to inform him of the
development.
“There is already a problem between us and the IGP, so I
suggest that we raise a committee as suggested by others
but instead of investigating they should sit down with
President Buhari to discuss the matter.
“This is not a joke as it can turn democracy upsidedown.
“If we investigate, where are we to take our resolutions to.
They might end up inviting the IG and what if he still
doesn’t appear again,” he said.
Marafa said visiting the president on the matter
and other related matters had become necessary
as it was obvious that he was not in the picture
of some of the problems lawmakers were facing.
Senator Emmanuel Bwacha(PDP-Taraba) decried
increased spate of intimidation of lawmakers.
He also suggested that the matter should be
taken to the president, stressing that,” he ought
to know that our democracy is collapsing. “

Bukola Saraki, alleged that there is an ongoing
plot by the Inspector General of Police (IGP),

1. Each girl reacts in an own way when she
receives the message from the man. But there
are some tricks, which work for most of the
girls well.
2. Don't make grammatical mistakes. If you send
the message, be convinced that you use the
correct grammatical rules. Don't think that it
is unimportant for the girl to whom you write.
Try to avoid reductions and write without
mistakes as girls not really love illiterate
texts.
3. Be always focused on contents of the
message.
4. Learn what is pleasant to her. All people are
different. Therefore it is important to learn
what is pleasant to your lady. If you seek for
the development of intimate relations, it is
very important for you to know what excites
her.
5. Draw images in her imagination. Use words so
that she could present in her mind that you
want to show her. Instead of the word touch,
for example, use a soft touch. Anyway, the
adverb or an adjective will never be excess.
6. Tease her with the messages Girls love it, so
use it. Play and continue to tease the
girlfriend. Don't allow her to miss and be not
boring.
7. Don't forget to maintain her interest. Always
finish your phrases so that she could manage
to tell anything in answer irrespective of what
she wants. If she asks how you have spent the
day, be not limited to something banal like
'Everything is OK'. It will hardly be pleasant
to her. You risk being left without the answer.
8. Ask questions correctly. Pictures have to
appear in her mind. Ask her about intimate
things. For example, 'What are you wearing
now' or 'how soft your underwear is?' As such
questions generate the pictures in her mind,
you can be sure that she will begin to send
you response messages.
9. SMS work well when she goes to bed.
Remember that at night the girl that you want
usually goes to bed, or perhaps is even going
to sleep. So send her messages when she is
already in a bed. Any bed reminds about love
caress. It can excite and force her to think
about you beginning to flirt with her when
she goes to bed.
10. Be not afraid to flirt with her. You shouldn't
be afraid to ask her questions when you flirt
with her. If at the same time anything doesn't
develop, you have to calm her, saying that all
that you have told, was just a joke. At last,
when she will begin to enjoy, she will begin to
respond to your messages more freely.
As you see, it’s not very hard to toast the girl
with words. All you need is to be gentle and
kind, and not to forget about the sense of humor.
Remember that any word has a meaning.

Rested Lionel Messi left out of Barcelona's trip to Levante

Lionel Messi has not been included in Barcelona's squad for
Sunday's match away against Levante as the Catalan side look
to take a step closer to an unbeaten season.
Barca can stretch their unbeaten run to 44 games in La Liga if
they avoid defeat in Valencia, with 37 of those games coming
in the current campaign.
They would then only need to navigate next weekend's home
game against Real Sociedad to become the first-ever side to
end a 38-game season in Spain's top flight unbeaten.
However, they will travel to the Ciutat de Valencia stadium
without talisman Messi, who has been given a rest by coach
Ernesto Valverde, presumably with the World Cup in mind.
Valverde previously had to tell Argentina that the country
doesn't need to worry about Messi's fitness going into this
summer's tournament in Russia after the forward picked up a
hamstring injury in April.
Messi had been expected to feature against Levante as he
looks to wrap up a fifth European Golden Shoe. With 34 league
goals this season, he is three ahead of his nearest challenger,
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, so is unlikely to be caught
regardless.
Valverde, meanwhile, said he wants his side to make history
by going the whole season unbeaten. Real Madrid and Athletic
Bilbao managed unbeaten seasons in 1932 and 1930
respectively, but the length of the championship was only 18
games in those days.
"In principle, that's never been an objective for us, but now that
we have won the league we need new motivations and that's a
very clear one," Valverde said in a news conference. "It's been
a long time since anyone did it and we're close to achieving it
this year. Our main objectives are already completed, so let's
see if we can now go unbeaten. It would be historic."
As attention in the local press turns to the summer transfer
window, Valverde insisted the only thing he is focused on is
the Levante game. The Valencia-based side have secured their
top-flight status for another season courtesy of picking up 23
points in their last 10 matches, including winning their last four
games.
But the Barca coach admitted there have already been some
talks with regards to finalising the squad for what will be his
second season in charge.
"We have touched on what we want to do this summer
slightly," he said. "But we want to focus on the end of the
season first. If we were thinking about players for next season,
I think we would lose that competitive edge. It's a distraction."
Valverde said the club will look within to replace the departing
Andres Iniesta at first, with B team midfielder Carles Alena
likely to be promoted to the first team.
"The first idea is to look at what we have here: [Philippe]
Coutinho's good in [Iniesta's] position and there are other
players, too, like Alena from the B team," he said. "I think it's
more or less clear [Alena will be promoted], he's been training
with us all season. We will see later [if more come up with
him]. There's Oriol Busquets, but we will need to see how he
is after his injury.
"We always have to be following the [transfer] market, too. We
lost an important player last year [Neymar] in a surprising
manner and we had to improvise. Things were turned inside
out.
"With Andres, we know he's leaving, so we have some time to
plan. Some players are so special and unique, though, that it
would be a lie to say you won't miss them. Of course we will
miss him, so we need to find another way of balancing the
team without him."
As well as Messi, Barca will be without Sergi Roberto, Samuel
Umtiti and Aleix Vidal. Sergi Roberto is serving the second
game of a four-match ban following his Clasico dismissal, a
match which also saw Umtiti injure his knee.
Winger Vidal, meanwhile, has been left out for the third
consecutive league fixture and is expected to be one of the
players available for transfer this summer.
