Nnamdi Kanu Says Federal Government Offered Him Biafra Republic Without Rivers, Benue
He also said he rejected it because that did not constitute the complete Biafra, saying that he told them that he wanted a Biafra with Rivers and Benue States inclusive.
Kanu also claimed that he was offered an oil block and mansion in Dubai aimed at making him to abandon the cause but that he rejected them and insisted on the actualization of Biafra.
The Biafra Leader said those things were Greek gifts to buy him over and maintained that he has no price other than to actualize the restoration of Biafra Republic and liberate the Igbo.
“They gave me Biafra in prison with only the five Igbo states; I said no, I want Benue and Rivers”, Kanu said, pointing out that “Biafra is coming, there is nothing to stop it”.

New Law That Will Separate NFIU and EFCC Set To Be Pass By Nigeria Senates
The Nigerian Senate has resolved to pass a law that would make the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, independent of the anti-graft agency, EFCC.
Nigeria lawmakers today based their decision on the reported suspension of the NFIU from the Egmont Group.
The NFIU helps tackle money laundering and monitor financial flows, task eased by its membership of the Egmont Group whose members share intelligence relating to international finance and illicit flow.
Critics of separating the NFIU from the EFCC have said it would weaken the anti-graft agency which has tackling financial crimes as one of its main task.

Robot Security Guard 'Commits Suicide' After a Few Days on Job
The robot committed suicide by drowning itself a public fountain after just a few days on the job.
The Knightscope K5 robot, which bears a striking resemblance to a Dalek, had been brought in to patrol the area outside the Georgetown Waterfront shopping centre and office complex in Washington DC.
It was found face-down in the fountain on Monday afternoon, after apparently tumbling down some steps into the water.
The K5 robot stands about 5 feet tall, weighs 300lbs (over 21 stone), and has a maximum speed of 18 miles per hour - although it usually moves at 1 to 3 miles per hour. Knightscope claims the security robot is better than a human guard, because it never gets bored of its job.
It is equipped with a range of sensors - including a 360-degree camera, thermal imaging sensors, a laser range finder and radar - which are supposed to enable it to move around autonomously.
It is designed to prevent crime by detecting abnormal noises and temperature changes, scanning car number plates and checking them against a police database, and using facial recognition technology to spot known criminals.
If it detects any security threats, it can squeak, whistle and make other loud noises intended to scare off criminals, as well as alerting the local authorities.

Man Got Remanded In Prison For Rapidly Employer’s Wife
A Magistrates Court based in Ikeja, Lagos State has today ordered a 38-year-old man, Tunde Bankole, remanded in Kirikiri Prison for raping his employer’s wife.
The Police Prosecutor, Insp. Raji Akeem, told the court that the accused committed the offences on May 28 at the home of the complainant. He alleged that Bankole forcefully had carnal knowledge of the woman at her home in Agege, near Lagos.
Akeem said that the rape victim had explained that her husband had informed her that he would be coming home late and that she left their gate unlocked for her husband to enter when he returned.
The prosecutor explained further that the woman was in a room when she heard Bankole knocking at her door.
Akeem said that the woman, who thought Bankole had returned with her husband, opened the door for him and was shocked to find the accused holding two knives.
“The complainant said that Bankole threatened to stab her with the knives if she did not allow him to make love to her.
“She said that the accused forcefully had carnal knowledge of her without her consent and also took her gold wedding ring, valued at N150, 000 from her.
“The complainant said that when she tried to escape, the accused brought out charms from his pocket and told her to swear not to tell her husband about the incident that took place.
“She said that when the accused finally left her, she quickly called her husband and told him how the accused had raped her.
“The complainant’s husband quickly notified the police and the accused was arrested,” Akeem said.
Akeem said that the offences contravened Section 57, 287 and 260 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Bankole, however, pleaded not guilty to the three-count of threatening with violence, stealing and rape.
The Magistrate, Mr T.O. Shomade, turned down the bail application of the accused and ordered him to be kept behind bars until the next hearing of the matter.
Shomade adjourned the case until July 26 for the hearing of the bail application.
Section 260 prescribes 14-year jail term upon conviction for rape.

"GRATEFUL HEART. Please join me and thank the Lord for sparing my life and that of others, in the pictures below is an accident I was involved in enroute Kogi-Abuja Expressway. The trailer bearing a container failed break few minutes away from the bridge, our driver noticed it and increased his speed in other to avoid the trailer, but unfortunately the trailer was at a more higher speed, getting to the top of the bridge it rammed into our bus and a smaller car in front...hitting it twice and pushing it towards the edge, I was seated at the front ooo...the front side of the bus was compressed, I thought i've lost my legs, I pulled and pulled my legs and it came out..
She also said:
I jumped to the back and jumped out through the broken window(how i did that without any assistance still beats me), thank God too the container it was carrying didn't fall on the bus, that would have been it, we were whiskers away from the river, another hit by the trailer would have sent the bus tumbling inside the river but God said no, Mercy said NO, I was saved, unscratched, I was just crying when I looked at how close we were to death, road safety officials rushed down with some other life savers, they were fully on ground to pack bodies but were surprised that there was not even a single one, 'Corper stop crying and thank God ooo' they said, though still in shock and traumatised am more amazed how much God loves me, to Him be all the glory forever more in Jesus name. Amen!"

Surprising Ways To Put a Smile on The Face of Troubling Clients
Handling stressful or difficult clients is not something many businesses look forward. But they have no choice than to deal with the client's complain as they are the oil that lubricates any business. Clearly, they exist in every business but it is better to keep them if you can. This is why they say that the customer is never wrong. So, how may you keep your difficult clients?
Below are some ways to keep your difficult customers happy.
1). Allow them to vent
Sometimes, you have to just keep quiet and allow your client to express everything on their minds. You should note that they become difficult because they feel they cannot say what they have experienced by using your service.
2). Reassure them
After allowing them to express themselves, do not let them feel that you do not have their best interests at heart. The simplest thing to do is to reassure them that every decision is to make them happy.
3). Apologise
Like earlier said customers are king. They are always right. No matter how infuriated you may be with them, you just have to see things from their perspective. Hence, always take the blame, even when you know that you are not at fault. Whatever the case may be, always take responsibility.
4). Come up with a solution
This is probably the most effective strategy you can use when handling a stressful client. When there’s a problem, a good business person comes up with a solution.
5). Learn from the situation
These difficult customers have a lot to teach businesses. So, evaluate who your difficult customers are, then evaluate why they are this way. You may want to deal with them differently because you know they are trouble. But at the same time, they are loyal.

Christian Father Killed Daughter Because of Muslim Boyfriend
A Christian father has been accused of murdering his teenage daughter by stabbing her repeatedly in the neck in a row over her Muslim boyfriend.
Henriette Karra, 17, was found dead in her family's home in Ramle, Israel, with several stab wounds to the neck on June 13.
Her father 58-year-old Sami, uncle and her mother Aliham were all arrested for plotting her murder which came after weeks of fighting over her romance.
The teenager was in a relationship with a Muslim man who was in prison. She planned to convert to Islam upon his release.
In the weeks before her death, she fled home in fear of her life after being threatened and beaten by her father, according to The Jeruselum Post.
Henriette sent panicked text messages to friends telling them that her family was going to kill her.
One read: 'You won’t believe what they did to me… They are sending people to kill me.
'They are searching for me in every possible place. You don’t understand what fear this is. I don’t believe I have the strength to stand on my feet and run away.'
She went to stay with her boyfriend's mother but her own family tracked her down and she was forced to return to them.
Police were watching the family and had placed recording devices inside the home.
According to local reports, the girl's father was previously suspected of drug dealing.
It is not clear if the family was being monitored for those allegations or if the surveillance was ordered as a result of complaints made by Henriette.
On the night before her death, her father was heard telling her mother: 'Forget about her, let her go to hell.
'It’s not worth another shekel to even chase after her, she’s garbage. We need to whip her, throw her away like a dog and see how she does She’s already gone, I’m sick of her and you.'
Her mother later told police that her husband believed she had affronted the family's honor.
The girl's father denies the killing and is on trial in Israel.

"We Will Appeal Russia Ban In European Court" - Jehovah's Witnesses Says
The Jehovah's Witnesses said today that it would appeal a ban on its activities in Russia at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, saying it had exhausted all other legal channels.
It's coming a day after Russia's Supreme Court rejected the religious group's appeal and upheld an April ruling which declared the organization "extremist" and ordered it to disband in Russia.
"We plan to appeal this at the European Court of Human Rights as soon as we can," Yaroslav Sivulskiy, a member of the European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses, said by phone.
"All legal avenues inside Russia have been exhausted."
Sivulskiy said the Jehovah's Witnesses strongly disagreed with the court's ruling against it, but had no option but to comply.
Religious life in Russia is dominated by the Orthodox Church, which exerts considerable political influence and enjoys the support of President Vladimir Putin. Some Orthodox scholars view Jehovah's Witnesses as a 'totalitarian sect'.
Prior to the ban, Russian authorities put several of the group's publications on a list of banned extremist literature and prosecutors have long cast it as an organization that destroys families, fosters hatred and threatens lives.
The group, a United States-based Christian denomination known for its door-to-door preaching and rejection of military service and blood transfusions, says this description is false.
It says it has 175,000 followers in Russia.
