On the verge of trying to salvage the situation I found out I was expecting a child. I kept quiet to the Rumours Making the rounds because I was left with the option of thinking for my child and trying to salvage a dead situation but now I have finally made up my mind to break off the Engagement and my Reasons are Irreconcilable... I just want to be left alone to take care of my Child. Stella I wasn't married I was engaged to be married but as things stand now, the engagement is officially broken due to irreconcilable differences and since I am having my baby soon, my Doctors has advised me to rest as my health and that of my Baby is the most important thing right now.. <br />

After surviving many rumours of her death, ex-Minister of Information and Communication and erstwhile DG of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili, bowed to ovarian cancer early Saturday morning.
News of her death was officially announced by the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, on the Anambra Broadcasting Service,<br />
ABS. Obi said Akunyili died after a protracted battle with cancer.
But her death has been blamed on misdiagnosis by some doctors in the United States of America. The doctors were said to have claimed she did not have cancer after her Nigerian doctor’s diagnosis to the effect she had the deadly sickness…
Obi, in the statement, said:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
“The last time I visited her in India, even when she needed all the prayers herself,she was full of concern for the abducted Chibok girls, security and other challenges facing the country and told me that she remained prayerful for the release of those girlsand for God to help President Goodluck Jonathan to overcome all the challenges facing the nation.
“She therefore urged all Nigerians to remain prayerful and committed to building a better society for our children. We all prayed together and I promised to be visiting her every month.<br />
<br />
“We thank all those who remain fervent in prayers for her recovery and urge them to remain prayerful for the peaceful repose of her soul.”
Concern about Akunyili, who had been on admission in hospital for an undisclosed ailment, had made the rounds in recent times.
For several weeks, rumours of her battle with ovarian cancer dominated the social media. Although family sources debunked the stories, the rumours got stronger.<br />
<br />
Her public appearance at the National Conference heightened anxiety about her well-being as she looked frail and a shadow of her old self.
According to Vanguard, the former Minister’s ill health first came to the fore a couple of years ago while on a trip abroad.<br />
<br />
A medical check up showed she had cancer.
Misdiagnosis
The Cable, an online medium quoting a family source, blamed misdiagnosis for Akunyili’s death. According to the source, when in 1998, the former Minister was the Zonal Secretary (South-east) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund, Nigerian doctors gave her what many of her family members considered to be a health scare. They said she had a growth and needed surgery.
The source narrated:<br />
<br />
“Akunyili, then 44, decided to travel to the United States, first to get a second opinion and then undergo the prescribed surgery. The bill for the medical trip was $17,000, including $12,000 for the surgery.During pre-surgery check-up in the US, the doctors told her the Nigerian doctors had made a wrong diagnosis and that she did not need any surgery.<br />
<br />
“It was said to be a minor issue that medication would solve. She thanked the doctors and, to their surprise, said she was going to return the money meant for the surgery to PTF. That was strange. Nigerian government officials had devised a way of making sure such monies were not returned to the treasury.<br />
<br />
“The hospital informed the PTF, under the leadership of Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, about one honest Nigerian they had found. Buhari, himself a straightforward person, was very impressed. He wrote a letter to Akunyili commending her honesty. NAFDAC Then came 2001. President Olusegun Obasanjowanted to appoint a director-general for the National Agency for Drug and Food Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and asked for the recommendation of an honest Nigerian pharmacist. Akunyili’s name promptly came up.<br />
<br />
“Someone who had heard about her PTF record recommended her. There was a little problem, a Nigerian problem. Objections were raised that the minister of health, Prof. ABC Nwosu, was an Igbo from Anambra State and NAFDAC, being a powerful agency under the ministry, should not be headed by another Igbo from Anambra. It was also argued that the market for fake and substandard products were controlled by the Igbo, with Onitsha – also in Anambra State – a major centre for the illicit business. She was going to protect<br />
<br />
“her people”, the antagonists said.
“Obasanjo, stubborn to the cause, ignored the observations and appointed her. She went on to do a credible job and ended up as one of the most outstanding public officers in Nigeria’s history, celebrated locally and globally. She had lost a sister to fake drugs, and that was perhaps the impetus she needed to go on the offensive. Misdiagnosis Meanwhile, Akunyili always went abroad for check-ups and she was always given an all-clear. She continued to look robust and energetic, and took up another government job as minister of information and communications.
“But on July 13, 2013, something strange happened to her. She was preparing to travel to the United States to receive an award.<br />
<br />
The following day was her birthday. Her 59th, precisely. Then she fell ill. She was physically weak and having pains. She decided to go ahead with her trip and attend to her health in the United States. It was while she was there that new checks were carried out.
“Alas, she had cancer. The original diagnosis in 1998 was right. But the diagnosis at the point of surgery was wrong. She became seriously ill and there were fears she could lose her life. She was in the hospital for months and only returned to Nigeria this year when the doctors said she was improving. Her last public appearance was at the National Conference in Abuja, where she was a delegate. Pictures of a frail-looking Akumyili soon went viral on the internet”.
‘Adorable Dora’ (1954 – 2014)
Prof.<br />
<br />
Dora Akunyili, a recipient of the Order of the Federal Republic, OFR, resigned her appointment as Minister of Information on December 16, 2010, after two years of service to pursue her political ambition of representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly as a senator.
Fondly known as “Adorable Dora”, the internationally renowned pharmacist, pharmacologist, erudite scholar, administrator, and visionary leader, would, perhaps,<br />
<br />
be best remembered as the no-nonsense
Director General of the National Agency for Foods, Drugs and Administration and Control, NAFDAC.
Born in Makurdi, Benue State, on July 14, 1954, the deceased hailed from Nanka, Anambra State. The deceased always had a knack to be marked for distinction.
A post-doctorate Fellow of University of London and a Fellow of the West African Post Graduate College of Pharmacists, it was NAFDAC, Director General that Akunyili proved her mettle as a leader and visionary.<br />
<br />
She took on the hydra-headed problem of fake, spurious, unwholesome and. substandard drugs, turning fortunes around for the nation’s lopsided drug distribution system and quickly gaining international recognition as a true advocate for public health and human rights protection.
A multiple award-winner for her work in pharmacology, public health and human rights, Akunyili was an embodiment of excellence academically –<br />
<br />
passing the First School Leaving Certificate Examination with distinction at St. Patrick’s Primary School, Isuofia, Anambra State, in 1966.
To prove her prowess, she went on to emerge with Grade I Distinction in the West African School Certificate Examination of 1973 from Queen of the Rosary
Secondary School, Nsukka.
This superlative performance earned her the Eastern Nigerian Government Post-Primary Scholarship and the Federal Government of Nigeria Undergraduate Scholarship. In 1978, Akunyili bagged her first degree in pharmacy, and her Ph.D in 1985 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Among her outstanding awards were the Time Magazine Award 2006 (One of the 18 Heroes of our Time) – Time Magazine Inc.; Person of the Year 2005 Award by Silverbird Communications Ltd, etc. etc.
May her soul continue to rest in peace.

Earlier this month, <strong>Real Housewives of Atlanta</strong> star <strong>Apollo Nida</strong> plead guilty to charges of mail, wire, and bank fraud.</div>

The 35-year-old could face up to 30 years in jail for stealing more than $2.3 million from 50 people –<a href="http://www.bellanaija.com/2014/05/08/rhoas-apollo-nida-pleads-guilty-to-fraud-charges-could-face-30-years-in-jail/" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">read it here</a>.</div>
He visited <strong>The Ryan Cameron Morning Show</strong> with <strong>Wanda Smith</strong> to discuss his trending situation, his future and to tell his side of the story.<br />
Apollo also said his wife <strong>Phaedra Parks</strong> should stay married to him when he goes to jail.<br />
“I think Phaedra, in a perfect world, should be supportive as a wife should be…But if she chooses to derail from the plan, then that’s what she chooses to do. Apollo is prepared for whatever happens in life. Whatever’s been thrown at me, I deal with it. I would like to say I would want her to stay around and do what a wife should do. But tomorrow’s not promised.” he said.<br />
Apollo is awaiting his July 8th guilty plea sentencing.<br />

Behind the scenes at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday:
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
TANKS, MUSCLES AND <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">TRAFFIC</nobr> CHAOS: Question: What do you get when you put tough guy stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas and Mel Gibson together on the French Riviera, plonk them on a couple of tanks and send them out along the Cannes seafront? Answer: total mayhem.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The ageing movie stars rolled into Cannes on Sunday on top of two tanks, parading down the chic seaside promenade to promote their film “The Expendables 3″.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
They were escorted by overwhelmed-looking French police as people in their hundreds mobbed the vehicles, seemingly oblivious to the very strong risk of being flattened.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At one stage, both tanks had to make a U-turn to return to the luxury <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Carlton hotel</nobr> forcing the driver to undertake yet more tricky manoeuvring.<br />

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Police desperately worked to remove a portable car barrier that was about to get knocked over by the hulking vehicles as a man in what looked like military uniform atop one tank screamed at people to get out of the way.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ford looked on in bewildered amusement while a delighted Stallone snapped away on his smartphone.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
EXPENDABLES FOR ABDUCTED NIGERIAN GIRLS: After a fun-filled morning of riding tanks and cracking jokes, the cast of “The Expendables 3″ took a far more serious tone on the red carpet when they brandished signs sporting #BringBackOurGirls.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Gibson, Banderas, Ford and others held up the signs to the cameras, joining global <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">calls</nobr> to free 223 schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist militants in Nigeria last month.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mexican star Salma Hayek and French actress Julie Gayet did the same thing on Saturday’s red carpet, publicly taking a stand for the schoolgirls using the now world-famous hashtag on Twitter also promoted by US First Lady Michelle Obama.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
FROM THE EAST END TO CANNES: Turkish actor Haluk Bilginer stars in the weighty Palme d’Or contender “Winter Sleep”, but he remains best known for something slightly less arthouse — his 1980s role as the womanising Mehmet Osman in the long-running British soap opera EastEnders.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Winter Sleep” — based on three short stories by Anton Chekhov — is all a far cry from Walford, the fictional part of London where EastEnders is set and where Osman ran a greasy spoon cafe in the days of Angie and Den, Pat Wicks, Pauline and Arthur Fowler.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One reviewer described the more than three-hour-long “Winter Sleep” by director Nuri Bilge Ceylan as a “richly engrossing and ravishingly beautiful magnum opus”.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
An episode of EastEnders in which Bilginer appeared, on the other hand, sounds just as engrossing albeit a touch less ravishing.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A Radio Times magazine listing still available on the Internet gives this super-concise synopsis: “Pat’s intent on causing trouble for her ex-husband. She tells Pauline exactly what she thinks of him. Pauline, loyal as ever to her brother, slaps Pat.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Winter Sleep” is the <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">bookies</nobr> favourite to win the Palme d’Or this year.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
PALME DOG: The bravura performance of Yves Saint Laurent’s French bulldog Moujik in the biopic of the fashion designer’s drink-depression-and-drug blighted life will surely be recognised by Cannes’ spoof Palme Dog awards.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the film, Saint Laurent dotes on the miniature breed canine but inflicts inexcusable suffering when he spills pills on the floor during a binge.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Moujik promptly <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">hoovers</nobr> up the lot with predictably fatal consequences.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Saint Laurent gives Moujik an expensive marble gravestone and lays beautiful <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">flowers</nobr>, but dog lovers will not be impressed. It is not known if the story is true.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
HEAVEN KNOWS I’M A MOVIE STAR NOW: Films about famous people have been the talk of Cannes with Princess Grace of Monaco, Yves Saint Laurent and painter JMW Turner all getting their own biopic this year.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Next year could it be the turn of the more contemporary figure of Morrissey, former lead singer of iconic 1980s band The Smiths.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Known — like all truly famous people — by only one name, Morrissey’s autobiography was published last year and sold like hotcakes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Morrissey” divided critics with Britain’s Telegraph calling it “maliciously memorable” and The Independent talking of “droning narcissism and whining self-pity”.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
All rich material for British film-maker and writer Mark Gill who will direct the unauthorised film entitled “Steven”, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The film will cover Morrissey’s pre-Smiths life “growing up in bleak Manchester, England, and his triumph over an alienated childhood to become the cult star he is today”, it said. <a href="http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/bringbackourgirls-stallone-schwarzenegger-gibson-others-held-signs/">Source</a></div>

See president Jonathan at the press conference for the Regional Security Summit that held in France today, President Jonathan explained why he hasn't visited the Chibok community, the school or parents of the missing girls...<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The school is owned by the State Government but it is the commitment of the Federal government to rebuild the school, build walls to protect it and provide facilities since it is predominantly a school that takes care of girls education so that the girls would be protected. Yes I will visit Chibok, no doubt about that but what we are anxious about now is to locate the girls. These girls are not held in Chibok. If the President goes to Chibok today, does that solve any problem? Maybe psychological problem or for media relevance but you have not solved the problem. The problem facing the President and indeed the Nigerian government is to get these girls from wherever they are" he said</blockquote>

<br />
According to the <a href="http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/chibok-girls-boko-haram-soft-pedals-drops-demand-release/">Vanguard</a> LAGOS—Boko Haram, which abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in Borno a month ago, has backed down on its demand for a release of its top commanders by government before the abducted girls could be released.
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It has also emerged that President Goodluck Jonathan has banned all his ministers and presidential spokespersons from commenting on any issue relating to the <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">campaign</nobr> by the Federal Government to rescue the girls. This came as the Defence headquarters warned against unauthorised visits to the areas of operation by tourists and journalists, saying such venture was risky.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;"><br />In a significant concession, the group was said to have abandoned demands for its top commanders to be released, seemingly aware that this would be politically impossible for the Federal Government.</span>The <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telegraph</span> of London, in an exclusive report, quoted sources close to the militant Islamist group as saying that the sect has abandoned its demands for its top commanders to be released that could see “gradual” release of the schoolgirls as early as next week.<br />

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telegraph</span> first reported <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">details</nobr> of Boko Haram’s offer of an imminent prisoners exchange last Tuesday, when sources close to some of the militants’ families said that a senior Islamic cleric from the northern part of the country would be appointed to mediate on its behalf with the government.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telegraph</span>, the cleric has since been joined by a former aide to one of the group’s founders. No man has been named, possibly for their safety. While the Federal Government has insisted that it is not willing to enter prisoners swap negotiations, the source claimed that dialogue had already been going on in secret for several days.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Contrary to the public rejection of any swap deal by the Nigerian government, there are some on-the-ground talks taking place,” the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Telegraph</span> quoted its source as saying adding that “an agreement was reached about two or three days ago in principle to <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">start</nobr> releasing some prisoners.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said that among the prisoners that the group wanted released would be wives and families of Boko Haram fighters, some of whom have been taken into custody by the Federal Government in order to exert emotional pressure on the fighters. “The group also has a <nobr style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">list</nobr> of lower-level fighters that it wants released as well, but they are not high-profile ones,” the source added.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said that in exchange, Boko Haram was willing to start a “gradual” release of around 100 of the girls – possibly beginning as early as the coming week. “Depending on how the other side responds, the girls will be released in small groups. They will be left at a certain safe location, and the authorities will then be told as to where they can pick them up from.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Details of the offer emerged as officials investigated reports that Boko Haram was responsible for the kidnapping of up to 10 Chinese workers in neighbouring Cameroon, where the group now also has a presence.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On Saturday, Nigeria and its neighbours, including Cameroon, Benin, Chad and Niger declared “war” on Boko Haram after an international summit in Paris hosted by the French President, François Hollande.</div>

The offensive will involve co-ordination of surveillance efforts aimed at finding the girls, the sharing of intelligence, the tightening of border controls, and a regional counter-terrorism strategy with Western help.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At the summit, the countries agreed to forge a regional counter-terrorism strategy with expertise and training support from Britain, France, the European Union and the United States.</div>

Britain will host a follow-up meeting to discuss the Boko Haram crisis next month. It is thought that the kidnapped schoolgirls are being held somewhere in either North-East Nigeria or across the border in Cameroon.</div>

The Chinese embassy in Cameroon confirmed that 10 of its workers had gone missing on Friday at a site near the town of Waza, 12 miles from the Nigerian border and close to the Sambisa forest, a Boko Haram stronghold.</div>

Lu Qingjiang, the embassy’s political counsellor, said that one Chinese worker was also injured in the attack, China’s <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Xinhua </span>state news agency reported.</div>

Ten vehicles belonging to China’s state-run construction company Sinohydro, which is repairing roads in Cameroon, were also taken, <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Xinhua</span> said.</div>

Mr Lu called on the Cameroonian authorities to “not put the lives of Chinese nationals missing in danger in case actions of liberation be launched”, <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Xinhua</span> said.</div>

Meanwhile, President Jonathan has asked all ministers and presidential spokespersons to stop commenting on any issue relating to the campaign by the Federal Government to rescue the school girls.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jonathan has, however, directed the formation of the National Information Centre with the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, Mr Mike Omeri as chairman.</div>

According to sources, the ban on the ministers and special advisers from speaking led to the alleged stoppage of two press conferences which were to be addressed by the Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku recently by the Department of State Services, DSS.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The DSS also reportedly stopped another news conference which the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, reportedly organised on the Chibok matter.</div>

In compliance with the Presidential directive, the National Information Centre now meets every day to exchange ideas and take common positions on issues to be addressed by Omeri who is the spokesman.</div>

Members of the committee include Omeri, the Information minister as well as the spokespersons for the military (Maj.General Chris Olukolade);DSS (Marilyn Ogar); Frank Mbah (police) as well as their counterparts in other sister services.</div>

However, the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki; Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar as well as the United States Ambassador and his UK counterpart are allowed to interact with the committee with a view to sharing ideas or privileged information with the committee. Others include the Director in the Federal Ministry of Information, Peter Adamu and his foreign affairs counterpart.</div>

A statement signed by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade reads: “The Defence Headquarters has noted the presence of a large number of tourists, journalists and adventurers of diverse interests moving about in areas where security operations are currently ongoing especially in Adamawa and Borno states without the necessary security cover or clearance.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The grieving family of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have criticised the timing of a new book that claims the plane may have been accidentally shot down and the search for survivors covered up.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The family of missing Brisbane man Rod Burrows say they are at pains to understand how still, after 71 days of ongoing global search efforts, no one knows what happened to the missing plane which vanished on March 8 and how a book could be released so soon after.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Flight MH370: The Mystery<span style="font-style: italic;"></span> makes the incredible claim that the airline was shot down by US-Thai joint strike fighters accidentally as part of a training drill gone horribly wrong. The book goes on to claim the search party was purposely sent in the wrong direction as part of a cover up. Continue....<a name='more'></a><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></blockquote>
Irene Burrows, Rod's mother, told the Sun Herald that the book had been released too soon, and that despite the speculation, it offers no concrete answers.<br /><span id="ext-gen129">'There's absolutely no answers,' she said. 'It's devastating for the families, it's been 10 weeks tomorrow and there's nothing.'</span><br /><div class="relatedItemsTopBorder">
</div>
She said both her and husband George are still trying to comprehend what happened, and that a book full of conspiracies released just 71 days after its disappearance, does nothing to alleviate the pain of losing their son.<br /><br />But according to the book's author, Nigel Cawthorne, there may never be a clear answer.<br />He writes in the book how the Burrows, and hundreds more in their situation, will 'almost certainly' never know the real story behind how the ill-fated plane vanished on March 8.<br /><br />He writes: 'Did they die painlessly, unaware of their fate? Or did they die in terror in a flaming wreck, crashing from the sky in the hands of a madman?'<br /><br />It is then that Cawthorne makes the incredible assertion that the plane was shot down accidentally over the South China Sea by a joint US-Thai joint strike fighter team, and the searchers sent in the wrong direction as part of a cover up.<br /><br />He describes how a man, while working on an oil rig in the ocean at about the same time the plane's transponder went off, saw a burning plane and how this was right near the military exercise being conducted with personnel from various other countries.<br /><br />He claims that these countries may have then sent searchers in the wrong direction in order to cover their tracks.<br />'After all, no wreckage has been found in the South Indian Ocean, which in itself is suspicious.'<br />He said with the amount of disinformation regarding MH370, it is best to be skeptical.<br /><br /><br /><div class="mol-para-with-font">
Cawthorne also raises more doubt into toe plane's disappearance, claiming it could have been located if its tracking software had been upgraded - something that costs just £6 ($10) per flight.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<br /></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
According to Cawthorne the Boeing 777-200ER had a ‘data package’ that only transmitted the most basic flight information, so authorities weren’t able to get a GPS fix on it.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<br /></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
For just $10, however, this package could have been improved, the book says, resulting in far more detailed information about the 777's movements being pinged.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
‘For US$10, you could have told within half an hour’s flying time where the plane would have gone,’ a source told the paper.</div>
<div style="border: medium none; overflow: hidden;">
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, meanwhile, has called for real-time tracking of planes and improvements to their communication systems to prevent a repeat of the 370 tragedy.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<br /></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
In an opinion piece published on Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal, Najib called for changes that would ‘make it harder for an aircraft to simply disappear, and easier to find any aircraft that did.’</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
‘One of the most astonishing things about this tragedy is the revelation that an airliner the size of a Boeing 777 can vanish, almost without a trace. In an age of smartphones and mobile Internet, real-time tracking of commercial airplanes is long overdue,’ he said. </div>
