Nigeria's telecoms regulator said it has set a November 16 deadline for South African mobile giant MTN and Nigeria’s largest network provider to pay the sum of $5.2 billion fine for missing a deadline to disconnect unregistered users SIM cards.  Sometimes in August, NCC issued a directive to all mobile telecommunication companies operating in Nigeria to deactivate all unregistered SIM cards within seven days or face severe sanctions.  MTN Africa's largest telecoms firm which had more than 62.8 million subscribers in Nigeria missed the deadline to deactivate its 5.1 million unregistered subscribers, prompting a 200,000 Naira ($1,000) fine for each unregistered SIM.  The penalty saw the company's shares crash on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and raised questions about the renewal of its license in Nigeria next year if the fine goes unpaid. Under the law, the NCC's has the power to grant or revoke permits.

I (Name withheld) had been suspecting my girlfriend may have been cheating on me. I started  noticing changes in her behavior. She stops listening; she was always on a long calls whenever I try pulling a call through her. She gives excuses why she can’t be at my place at a certain time as she used to.  She always had new make ups, new clothes, new shoes, new everything. She smiles differently. And whenever she finally comes to my place, her text messages and call history are always wiped clean. She now uses password on her phone; she regularly changes the passwords whenever I ask for the previous one This give me no doubt than to conclude she is seeing some else, something she always denies.  I used to have access to her social accounts, and I was shocked that the passwords had been changed too. This new reality disturbs me greatly. So, an idea came up in my head “hack her social account” it will be a good start finding out the truth. My girlfriend was a dummy; she

A U.S. Navy destroyer sailed within 12 miles of China’s made artificial islands in the South China Sea. This is a direct challenge to Beijing that raises the stakes in an expanding, multination territorial dispute.  China had earlier warn the US it will not stand for violations of its territorial waters in the name of freedom of navigation, as the United States considers sailing warships close to China's artificial islands in the South China Sea. China also warn the US it will consider using it military might in case the US violates its territorial waters

Health experts have discovered that processed meat such as hot dogs, sausages, corned beef, and beef jerky etc. Cause bowel cancer. Processed meats According to a World Health Organization reports: Red meat is probably carcinogenic, with associations mainly with bowel cancer, but also with pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. This is based on sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer. Health experts found that each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, by 18%. Processed meat refers to the transformation of meat transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, and processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by products such as blood. The 22 experts from 10 countries, convened by the IARC Monographs Program, cla

THE ALBERTINE POST: VIDEO: One of African best university hostels looks like a bad prison and junk.

The Russian air strikes disastrously dealt a huge blow on IS militants and other faction of terrorist groups in Syria,  The Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday its intelligence had overheard Islamic State commanders talking to Al-Nusra Front about uniting forces against the Russians and the Syrian Army, “Communications eavesdropping has intercepted information about the beginning of the talks between commanders of large battalions of Al-Nusra Front and radical warlords of Islamic State to form an allied force to counter offensive conducted by the Syrian government forces,”

Many years ago Nike was asked to collaborate with “Back to the future”, a movie that would feature scenes set in the futuristic world of 2015, the brand was challenged to imagine sneakers that would be worn by the inhabitants of the advanced era. Nike’s innovation team took that task further.  The resulting shoe model, Nike Mag, reinvented the conventional lacing system, integrating it into an inimitable shoe model.  October 22nd 2015, The giant company delivered a gift to Michael J. Fox introducing the innovation to the shoe’s first, and most celebrated, wearer. This innovation advances what was coined the Nike Mag’s “power laces”, combining the archetype invention with digital technology. The result is an individually responsive system that senses the wearer’s motion to provide adaptive on-demand comfort and support. But this is just the first iteration.  Nike continues to test this technology across multiple sports, incorporating feedback into future game-changing foot

A super sophisticated, tunnel was discovered by federal agents on Wednesday night near San Diego, leads to the arrest of 22 people and confiscation of 12 tons of marijuana estimated at 6 million dollars. Agents found a hole in the floor near a warehouse in Otay Mesa, a city south of San Diego  that led to a shaft descending almost 32 feet down in the ground. The shaft connected to an underground passageway, which included lighting, ventilation and a rail system, leading to the U.S.-Mexico border. The Tunnel is  revealed to be 2,600-foot long tunnel and the largest uncovered along the southern border in recent years.

A former Chechen general who fought the Russian military machine in the 1990s  voiced his warnings that Russia's intervention in Syria could lead to a bloody mess like the Chenchen war with Russia. Huseyn Iskhanov was a general in the Chechen army which fought a bloody war against Russian troops The assessment from Huseyn Iskhanov came as Syrian president Bashar al-Assad visited Moscow for talks with president Vladimir Putin. leaving many concerned about where Russian support for his regime could now lead. Russia's about a month  bombing of Syria's rebels campaign has given the Assad forces the ability to launch significant counter-attacks amid widespread reports rebel groups other than  the Islamic State are the key and main target. Huseyn Iskhanov, a  Chechen  general  army fought against Russian rule during the war of 1994 to 1996, he and his family fled to Austria in 2004. He said nothing good will come of Russia's strikes in Syria. He also said: "Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin's approval rating has hit a record high of almost 90 percent, primarily as a result of his decision to launch air strikes against Islamist militants in Syria, Russia's state pollster said on Thursday. VTsIOM, the pollster, said Putin's rating had reached 89.9 percent in October, up from a previous high of 89.1 percent in June. In January 2012, it put his rating at 58.8 percent.  "Such a high level of approval for the work of the Russian president is linked, in the first instance, to events in Syria, to Russian air strikes on terrorist positions there," VTsIOM said in a statement. Russia's air force says it has flown over 700 sorties against more than 690 targets in Syria since Sept. 30, a campaign to which state TV has given blanket coverage. Before the strikes, polls showed Russians were wary about the risks of Kremlin involvement in the Middle East. But a poll conducted earlier this month showed that 72 percent had a bro

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2015 New Year's resolution was to read an important book every two weeks and discuss it with the Facebook community. Zuckerberg's book club, a Year of Books focused on big ideas that influence society and business. He's broken up these heavy books with some lighter science fiction, as he's done with his 20th pick, Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem." The Three Body Problem was first published in China in 2008, and the English translation that came out last year won the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Novel, an award for sci-fi book of the year. It's set during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, and kicks off when an alien race decides to invade Earth after the Chinese government covertly sends a signal into space. Zuckerberg's science fiction picks may be lighter fare than his other selections, but they all have some cultural relevance he's trying to tap into. With "The Three Body Problem," it's

This is president Assad's first overseas trip since civil war broke out in Syria in 2011. Mr Assad in a visit to Moscow made a point of expressing his gratitude for Russia's military intervention in the conflict. He said Russia's involvement had stopped "terrorism" becoming "more widespread and harmful" in Syria. Russia's president and also the most powerful man in the world, Vladimir Putin said Moscow's hope was that a "long-term resolution can be achieved on the basis of a political process with the participation of all political forces, ethnic and religious groups". President Vladimir Putin sends a very clear message to the West - that Moscow is a key player in the Middle East, and that there can be no solution to the Syrian conflict without Russia's involvement. White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters: "We view the red carpet welcome for Assad, who has used chemical weapons against his own people, at odds wit

Men may say they prefer brains over boobs but they 'feel threatened by intelligent women'.  New research says men may claim to find a woman who is smarter than them more attractive but they get cold feet at the prospect of dating her in real life. But brains are apparently intimidating in reality Men may prefer brains over boobs but when it comes to actually dating an intelligent woman, blokes are more likely to run a mile. At least, that's the findings of a new study into into what men find desirable in women. According to research published in the November edition of ‘Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin’, men may claim to find a woman who is smarter than them more attractive. But it seems they get cold feet at the prospect of dating such a woman in real life. The study, which was carried out at the University of Buffalo, California Lutheran University and University of Texas, Austin, was split into two parts. First, 105 men were given a hypotheti

 one of the world’s top fertility doctors  said taking an aspirin a day can help you get pregnant. Millions already use the wonder drug regularly to slash their risk of cancer, heart attacks and strokes. Now research suggests it can help women start a family – by increasing womb thickness, reducing inflammation in cells and boosting blood flow.   Dr.Richard Paulson, vice president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, suggested all women trying to get pregnant should take a low-dose pill once a day to improve their chances. He said: “Aspirin is the drug of the millennium. There is no harm in women wanting to get pregnant taking aspirin.” The expert explained: “It increases blood flow to the pelvis and it increases endometrial thickness.” He spoke ahead of revealing the findings today at a presentation to the society’s annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. The study also found conclusive evidence for the first time that aspirin can help women who have previously b

Felimina  Rotundo works in her local laundry shop, washing clothes and handling dry cleaning, from 7am to 6pm every day, 6 days a week. She is100years-old, with no intention of retiring any time soon. She was born in 1915 and started work at the age of 15, during the Great Depression. She’s worked in the area for nearly 40 years, and when she first started at the College Laundry Shoppe in Buffalo, she only made about 25 cents for washes. She says she continues to work because ‘it gives her something to do.’ ‘I talk to people all day; I do a few bundles. It’s being out,’ she says. ‘Getting up in the morning and you say “I have to go to work,” it does something for you.’ While she’s not entirely against retirement, she thinks the acceptable age is around 75, and only if you’re in poor health. Otherwise, she reckons, ‘too many old people are retiring too young.’ Her advice? ‘Get out and do some work.’

Cuban paramilitary and special forces units have been spotted on Syrian grounds possibly to aid President Bashar al-Assad and assist Russia in fighting the rebel forces, according to US intelligence reports. Citing an official who spoke under the condition of anonymity, two Russian planes landed at Damascus airport and unloaded Cuban troops. The troops were said to man Russian-made tanks to aid Damascus in fighting rebel forces backed by the US. There were also reports that the head of Cuba's armed forces was seen in Syria leading a group of Cuban military personnel joining forces with Russia in their support of Assad. "When the troops were asked by an Arab military officer at the Damascus airport they told him they were there to assist Assad and that they are experts at operating Russian tanks,'' Jaime Suchlicki, the institute's executive director, said. "It doesn't surprise me... they have a very close relationship," Suchlicki told Fox News,

An unidentified husband has allegedly busted his wife 'cheating' after she sent him a series of lingerie clad snap chats from her hotel room - with a man's boots resting on the floor behind her. The series of photos were published on the website The Chive, but many have questioned their authenticity with some dismissing the cheating scandal, photos and subsequent text messages as 'fake'. The snap chats were sent by a woman known as Chelsea, who is shown posing provocatively for the camera while wearing a skimpy black G-string and matching black push-up bra. 'Hotel Room! Going to Sleep Soon,' she wrote in one snap chat, her arms resting behind her head. But it was the second photo, that showed a man's boots tucked under the TV cabinet, that caught Chelsea out. 'One more before bed,' she wrote alongside the picture of her from behind. What followed was a fiery text message from her husband. Who is with you in the hotel room?' he wr

France says she will forgo having an ambassador to Vatican City before French presidential elections scheduled for 2017 after the Pope refused to accept the openly gay diplomat selected for the role by the French Government. Laurent Stefanini is openly gay and was announced as France’s preferred candidate for the role in April, having previously served as France’s number two diplomat in Vatican City from 2001 to 2005. The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal André Vingt-Trois sent a letter to Pope Francis to support the French Government’s choice of ambassador. Stefanini was rejected despite being a practicing Catholic who has neither married or entered into a civil partnership. The issue seems to have been that he is openly gay. The Vatican simply refused to comment or acknowledge the French Government’s nomination of Stefanini for the role and, according to a report by Liberation, the government has now given up on getting a response. However the french  government thinks there will

In what appears to be a narco consolation prize for fugitive drug lord Joaquín “Chapo” Guzmán, this week the Mexican Attorney General’s Office extradited 13 high profile criminals, among them the notorious kingpin Edgar Valdez Villarreal, better known as “La Barbie.” Mexican authorities announced the group extradition after a series of high-level meetings between U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Mexican counterpart Arely Gomez. The U.S. had previously requested the extradition of Chapo Guzmán, just prior to his escape from a Mexican prison. Instead, they’re getting 13 other criminals who were rounded up this week from different maximum security facilities in Mexico and handed over to U.S. agents at the Toluca airport, on the outskirts of Mexico City. The mass extradition marks a pivot for the Mexican government, which was previously reluctant to process U.S. extradition requests, claiming these criminals had to face Mexican justice first. In January, prior to Chapo’s escape, t

Europe must improve its relationship with Russia, and should not let this be something decided by Washington, Claude Juncker said on Thursday (8 October). The European Union joined the United States in imposing sanctions on Russia last year over its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, and tightened them after separatists launched a rebellion in the east of the country with the backing of Russia. Relations between Moscow and the West have taken a further turn for the worse since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a bombing campaign in Syria, against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad. Juncker said tensions had to be eased, even if this was not necessarily popular. "We must make efforts towards a practical relationship with Russia. It is not sexy but that must be the case, we can't go on like this," he said at an event in the southern German town of Passau. Last week, US President Barack Obama accused Putin of acting out of a position of weakness to defend

 Russia carried out a series of deadly airstrikes against the terrorist group over the last few days and Vladimir Putin has now sent the country’s most elite special forces team into the war zone. And speculation is heightening that offensive will be bolstered by the China’s People’s Liberation Army, following a number of reports of military movements in the region backed up by strong words from a senior government member at a United Nations meeting. Reports emanating from the Middle East last week said China was planning on joining the fight against ISIS “in the coming weeks”, according to a Syrian army official.

Moscow, SANA – The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation confirmed that 60 targets belonging to terrorist organizations have been destroyed in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Raqqa, Hama, Idleb, and Lattakia and at least 300 terrorists were killed in airstrikes carried out by the Russian Air Force within the past 24 hours In a statement on Friday, Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Lt. Gen. Igor Makushev said that Russian Sukhoi Su-34 Sukhoi Su-25SM jets carried out 67 sorties, resulting in the destruction of 60 targets belonging to ISIS in Syria. Makushev said the airstrikes’ targets included an ammo depot and a base for terrorists in Aleppo, resulting in the death of 100 terrorists and the complete destruction of the depot, explaining that Russian jets used Russian KAB-500S precision guided bombs to destroy the headquarters of the “Liwa al-Haqq” terrorist group, with reconnaissance confirming that two ISIS leaders and around 200 terrorists were killed i

The authorities of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH)  disclosed that 15 persons confirmed to have had contacts with a patient with “symptoms mimicking viral hemorrhagic fever” have been quarantined. As at Wednesday when the patient, a man, died about 2.00p.m., there was general apprehension within and outside the hospital that the deceased had presented symptoms of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). At a press conference over the development on Thursday, Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the UCTH, Dr. Thomas Agan, while making the disclosure, said a number of persons have been quarantined in the hospital.Though the CMD did not mention their identities, sources said the health personnel that had contact with the deceased were among those quarantined. Reacting to a question concerning persons quarantined, the Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee of the hospital, Dr. Queeneth Kalu, who represented the CMD said: “I mentioned that in my press statement, the number of peo

 The Associated Press has learned that gangs with Russian ties are driving a thriving black market in nuclear materials in eastern Europe, often with the explicit intent of connecting sellers to Middle Eastern extremist groups. Authorities working with the FBI have interrupted four attempts by gangs shopping radioactive material in Moldova, a small country in Eastern Europe. The latest known case came in February, when a smuggler offered radioactive cesium, specifically seeking an Islamic State buyer. The most serious case came in 2011, when a man expressing hatred for the U.S. tried to sell bomb-grade uranium to a Sudanese buyer. Successful busts were compromised by striking shortcomings: Key suspects got away; prison sentences were surprisingly short; and gang leaders may have escaped with the bulk of their nuclear contraband.

A 35-year-old killer was executed in Texas on Tuesday after he was convicted of fatally shooting a recently arrived Mexican immigrant in the head and robbing him of $8 in September of 1998. Juan Martin Garcia was pronounced dead from a lethal injection at 6.26pm at the state's execution chamber in Huntsville for the killing and robbery of 36-year-old Hugo Solano in Houston. Solano, a Christian missionary from Guadalajara, had moved his family to the city just weeks earlier so his children could be educated in the United States. Garcia apologized to Solano's relatives in Spanish ahead of the execution and Solano's wife and daughter sobbed and told the inmate they loved him. 'The harm that I did to your dad and husband - I hope this brings you closure,' he said. 'I never wanted to hurt any of you all.' He told his sister and several friends in English that he loved them. 'No matter what, remember my promise,' Garcia said. 'No matter what, I w

A woman filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby on Tuesday alleging sexual assault, saying the veteran comedian drugged and molested her at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 2008, when she was a minor. The civil lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in California's Central District, charges Cosby with "childhood sexual abuse," demanding a jury trial and damages exceeding $75,000. Chloe Goins joins more than 50 women who have come forward publicly over the past year with allegations against the now 78-year-old Cosby including drugging, sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape. In most cases, the incidents date back decades, putting them outside the statute of limitations for legal action, but Goins' allegations, coming within eight years of her turning 18, fall within California's legal code. "Today I recognize that I've taken legal action that many of the other victims of Bill Cosby will never be able to take," Goins told reporters outside the Lo

An 11-year-old boy faces a murder charge after witnesses say he killed his eight-year-old neighbor because she would not let him see her puppy.  The girl's mother said  her girl was playing outside when the next-door neighbor asked to see the puppy. the girl by the name McKayla  told the boy “no” and the boy then shot her. Sheriff Bud McCoig of Jefferson County said the boy used his father’s 12-gauge shotgun to kill McKayla from inside his home. Deputies called to the scene on Saturday in White Pine found McKayla on the ground with a chest wound. She was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Jordan Saxton  receives 9yrs jail sentence after he violently shake his 11-week-old son leaving the baby with a catastrophic brain injury and 18 fractures. Jordan Saxton, 22, had been left with baby Jayden for just 90 minutes when he attacked his son, damaging his head, legs and ribs, and blinding him because of damage he caused to blood vessels in the child’s eyes. Jordan Saxton was charged with  manslaughter  and  was later convicted and jailed for nine years. The jury was told by paramedics giving evidence that the injuries would have required “considerable force”, similar to that of a high-speed car crash. The boy died two days after the attack in November last year. Throughout the trial Saxton maintained his innocence and said he had been feeding his son at their home when he began to choke and stopped breathing. However, doctors and paramedics saw no evidence of choking or food caught in his throat. The prosecutor said the mother said she left the house  with no bruise on baby

Britain's National Crime Agency  obtained court permission on Monday to temporarily seize 27,000 pounds ($41,000) from  Alison madueke a former Nigerian oil minister caught up in a financial scandal. Nigerian authorities confirmed the arrest in London of Diezani Alison-Madueke, who served as oil minister from 2010 until May 2015 under former president Goodluck Jonathan. Nigerian media said she had been granted bail. Alison-Madueke's personal assistant  could not be reached. She has previously denied any wrongdoing when questioned about missing public funds and graft allegations. An administrative officer at Westminster Magistrates' Court said on Monday the NCA had applied to the court for an order to seize various sums of money in relation to Alison-Madueke and two other women for up to six months. The administrative officer did not provide any information on the link between the three women. Alison-Madueke left office in March after Jonathan was defeated by Muhamma
