News of Ngige’s rumoured death shakes N’Assembly

A rumoured death of the Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, shook the National Assembly on Thursday.

But investigations showed that the former Senator and former Governor of Anambra State, did not visit the National Assembly complex on Thursday.

Ngige is said to be in Zambia for an official assignment.

However, a around midday on Thursday, rumour spread in the National Assembly that Ngige had come to the House of Representatives to defend the 2016 budget of his ministry but collapsed in the process.

The minister, in a terse reaction, quickly dismissed the rumour of his death.

His Personal Assistant, Mr. Nwachukwu Ngige, relayed the minister’s Facebook post in which he dismissed the rumour.

He wrote, “Dear friends , please disregard the wicked tissue of lies, contained in an online publication about an unfortunate incident said to have taken place today (Thursday) at the National Assembly and in which I was said to have been involved.

“I am currently not in the country let alone being at the National Assembly. I have since Monday, February 15, 2016 been attending the 42nd Ordinary Session of the African Regional Labour Advisory Council, taking place in Zambia.

“The meeting ends tomorrow (today). Indeed, as the Vice-Chairman of today’s session, I had the privilege of moderating as well as giving the vote of thanks on behalf of other African countries.

“I thereafter presented a gift also on their behalf to the Vice-President of Zambia, Mrs. Inonge Wina.”

Findings showed that the actual incident involved an unidentified visitor to the National Assembly, who reportedly suddenly took ill.

The man was said to have been walking along the corridor on Level III of the House of Representatives New Wing when he suddenly took ill.

Some eyewitnesses, who declined to be named, said the victim, in a bid to maintain his balance, held on to the door knob of Rm. 315 along the corridor, where he eventually collapsed.

The room is the office of the Chairman, House Committee on Police Affairs, Mr. Haliru Jika.

However, the man was not Jika’s visitor.

The man was said to have hailed from Auchi in Edo State. He reportedly died in the process.

“We have no idea who he was. He was not breathing.

“Doctors from the National Assembly Clinic were called in to help but their efforts were fruitless.

“The victim was quickly taken away for possible resuscitation at the National Hospital, Abuja,” one of the eyewitnesses stated.

Tiwa Savage, Banky W, Praiz, Cobhams Asuquo, Stonebwoy set to put African music on world map

Nigeria’s foremost disc jockey had his patience tested by controversial singer, Terry G, when the singer slapped one of his apprentices at a comedy show tagged, D’Good, D’Bash and D’Ugly.

When the incident happened, the ‘cool’ DJ Jimmy Jatt simply asked his boy to close shop. In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the disc jockey said that Terry G had mended fences and there was no problem between them.

He said, “There was not really any problem between Terry G and I. It was just the DJ association that placed a ban on his music but the ban has now been lifted. From our side, the initial reaction was that we demanded for a public apology and he has done that. Terry G went further to come to my office to apologise to the DJ and myself. He also went as far as meeting with some members of the association and I think that is what convinced them to lift the ban. To err is human and to forgive is divine, so it was just fair for them to lift the ban against him.”

Recounting the experience, Jimmy Jatt said although he was at the show, he did not know that his boy received a slap till someone informed him.

“To be honest with you, I was on a table far from the stage. I thought he was exiting the stage, I did not know what transpired. It was someone that called my attention to the fact that he actually slapped the boy. When I heard, I got up and went to ask if my boy was slapped and he replied in an affirmative manner. I was shocked. I just told the boy to vacate the place. Luckily; there was a backup DJ, so he took over,” he said.

With over 25 years of his life dedicated to his job, the disc jockey said the incident would make Nigerian artistes have more respect for DJs.

The disc jockey said, “The incident has sent a strong signal that there is a vibrant DJ association. Some other things have happened in the past that people have done and they got away with them but that would not happen again because an action has to be taken. For anybody that would not want an army of DJs to come after them, it would be in your interest not to look down on any DJ either established or up and coming. I am glad where the industry is today even though we have not got to the promised land yet. “We have come a long way. This used to be a profession that people shunned but now parents are now proud to say that their children are disc jockeys. If you check the calibre of people coming in, it is enough to be proud about. There is still a lot to be done.”

He also told Saturday Beats that his fans should not be surprised if they noticed he has ventured into the make believe world.

“Never say never, I actually shot a movie about three years ago but I did not release it. If the urge returns, then I might release it. I did not release the movie due to some personal reasons. Who knows if I wake up tomorrow, I could delve into movies,” Jimmy Jatt said.

World powers urge ‘stability’ in Turkey

World leaders urged “respect for democratic institutions” in key NATO member and European neighbour Turkey as parts of the military launched a coup attempt late Friday against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that saw violence erupt in Istanbul.
The United States, Russia, NATO and the European Union appealed for stability, with US President Barack Obama calling on all parties in Turkey to back the “democratically-elected” government.
Detailing a call between Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, the White House said both agreed that “all parties in Turkey should support the democratically-elected government of Turkey, show restraint, and avoid any violence or bloodshed.”
UN chief Ban Ki-moon meanwhile lashed out against the attempted coup, as he called for civilian rule to be maintained.
“Military interference in the affairs of any state is unacceptable,” Ban said in a statement.
EU chiefs Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker backed Erdogan’s government and urged a “swift return” to normal.
“Turkey is a key partner for the European Union. The EU fully supports the democratically elected government, the institutions of the country and the rule of law,” they said in a joint statement with EU foreign policy head Federica Mogherini.
“We call for a swift return to Turkey’s constitutional order.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Moscow was “deeply concerned” about the situation, with President Vladimir Putin being kept up to date by the foreign ministry and intelligence services.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had earlier called on Turkey to avoid all “bloodshed” and insisted that the problems in the country be resolved “in accordance with the constitution.”
Turkey will now likely dominate an EU foreign ministers’ meeting on Monday which will also be attended by Kerry.
Ankara in March signed a controversial deal with the European Union aimed at stemming migration to the continent, and has recently mended ties with Russia after a major diplomatic crisis.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg called for “calm and restraint, and full respect for Turkey’s democratic institutions and its constitution,” adding that the country was “a valued NATO ally”.
Obama, like other Western leaders, has repeatedly expressed concern about authoritarian steps taken by Erdogan’s government.
But the country is a key NATO ally and part of the coalition fighting IS in neighbouring Syria and Iraq. The US has military assets at Incirlik Air Base, carrying out strikes against the jihadists.

– ‘No impact’ on anti-IS strikes –

The ongoing coup attempt is not affecting operations targeting IS, and American forces will continue flying missions from a key airbase there, a US defence official said Friday.
The situation “has no impact on counter-ISIL operations from Incirlik Air Base in Turkey,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, and using another name for IS.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton urged “calm and respect for laws, institutions, and basic human rights and freedoms” in the country.
The French Foreign Ministry meanwhile called for “the avoidance of violence and respect for democratic order,” in an appeal echoed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“Support to the elected (Turkish) government,” a spokesman for Merkel said. “Everything must be done to protect human lives.”
German-Turkish relations have come under increasing strain in recent months, with Berlin criticising Ankara’s tough line against dissenting journalists and the country’s Kurdish minority.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also said his country, which neighbours Turkey, was monitoring the situation with “great concern”.
“Stability, democracy and the security of the Turks are the priority,” Zarif said, according to the Iranian government website, as he stressed “the need to preserve unity” in the country.
Iran and Turkey have been at loggerheads in regional conflicts including Syria, where they back opposing sides in the five-year civil war.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, whose nation also neighbours Turkey, has meanwhile expressed his “support for the democratically elected” government following the attempted coup, a government source said early Saturday.
Tsipras’ diplomatic advisor sent the “message of support for democracy in Turkey” to his counterpart in the crisis-hit nation, the source said.
The two leaders were set to speak by telephone later Saturday.
Television pictures showed tanks deployed outside Ataturk airport in Istanbul. Reports said that flights into the airport had been halted.
Greece’s Aegean Airlines confirmed it had cancelled Saturday’s flights to Istanbul and the coastal city of Izmir.
German carrier Lufthansa said it had delayed its flights to Turkey “for up to 12 hours”.

7 Foods You Must Avoid If You Wanna Lose Weight

If you want to lose weight you do not need to give up all the foods and drinks you love.

The best diet is a balanced diet. That means that the healthiest solution is to consume all the foods, but in normal proportions.

Nevertheless, there are some foods and drinks that you should try to avoid if you want to achieve better results.

Check out these seven foods and drinks you should cut out of your diet if you want to lose weight

These foods are not nutritious and your body doesn’t need them.

1. Snacks full of carbohydrates lose weight biscuits

When you eat crackers, dry cereals and bread your body converts them into the simple sugars and send them directly into your bloodstream.

In response to the sugar rush, your body will produce more and more insulin which helps your body to absorb all that sugar.

As a result, your blood sugar levels will drop and you will just fell hunger. That false feeling of hunger will make you eat more and more. Something like enchanted circle.

But carbohydrates are not unhealthy if you consume the right ones.

The point is to eat a snack that includes a combination of carbohydrates, healthy fats and proteins. Those meals will keep you full longer and stop you from overeating.

2. Frozen Mealslose weight frozen meal

Frozen meals are tricky.

Food companies add a lot of additives in those foods so they can stay fresh longer. The primary additive they add is Sodium.

Sodium retains water in your body that causes bloating.

And that is something you don’t want to happen if you want to lose weight. If you are bloated you will not have a right state of your weight.

3. Snacks Rich In Fiberlose weight peanut

You must be asking: ‘How not to eat foods that are rich in fiber?’

Yes, fibers are a great and healthy dietary supplement because they keep your digestive system works correctly.

Fibers also make you stay full longer.

But what you do not need are snacks that contain the daily dose of fibers which is around 25 grams whit a diet that doesn’t include fibers.

Your daily income of fibers must be constant trough the whole day if you want to alleviate hunger, improve digestion and prevent stomach problems.

Instead of snacks add foods that are naturally rich in fibers like fruits and vegetables.

4. ‘No Fat’ Foodslose weight low fat

Studies have shown that people eat approximately 30% more food if it’s labeled as ‘non-fat’ than the foods that have a standard percent of fat.

And those non-fat products bring much greater problems than overeating.

When manufacturers remove fat from foods, it becomes tasteless.

To compensate, they often add sugar. And you all know that sugar is a much worst choice if you want to lose weight.

5. Drinks with ‘artificial sweeteners.’weight lose artificial sweeteners

Say goodbye to all dietary juice and every sweet drink that mysteriously have zero calories!

Some people react to artificial sweeteners that they right after those drinks go on and eat and ice cream and other desserts.

These statements are not proven, but some studies give that results.

On the other hand, chemicals are not healthy so it is better to stick to water or lemonade.

Sparkling water is also a good choice. It contains carbon dioxide which makes you feel a sieve and, therefore, eat less.

6. Cereals In Large Packs lose weight cereals

The same goes for family packs.

Recent studies have shown that people consume approximately 22% more food when eaten from big bags.

When people know they have more food available, unwittingly are forcing themselves to eat more.

The same applies to the food bought at discount prices.

It does not mean that you should stop buying food at reduced prices or in economical packages.

Just make sure that you enter the portions and avoid eating directly out of the bag.

7. Alcohol

No expert in weight loss will not recommend you to consume alcohol if you want to lose weight. lose weight alcohol

Some alcohol drinks have more calories and some have fewer calories.

But either way, alcohol is not a good ally in weight loss process.

It contains empty calories that do not provide sufficient nutrients.

If you consume too much alcohol, you get a distorted picture of how your body looks. And so intoxicated you will never decide to eat salad. Pizza always sound better!
