SHOCKING PHOTOS: Female Journalist Takes Off Her Clothes While Interviewing Local Government Leader

A Canadian radio host and newspaper columnist took off her top during an interview with her local mayor this week and continued asking him questions bare-chested.

Lori Welbourne, who hosts the radio show On The Rocks and writes a column for the Province newspaper, was talking to Walter Gray, mayor of Kelowna in British Columbia, about whether it was legal in the town for women to bare their breasts in public.
'What if I went walking down the street topless?' she asked in the recorded interview.

But before Gray could answer her question, Welbourne handed him her microphone and undid the strap on her dress, exposing her breasts.
'What are you doing,' he asked, to which she replied, 'it's really hot in here.'
After regaining his composure, Gray explained that while someone may be tempted to call the police there is little authorities could do because it is in fact entirely legal for a woman to be topless anywhere a man can be.
Welbourne's stunt was in anticipation of Sunday's Go Topless Day.
Public toplessness is not illegal anywhere in Canada unless it's deemed to be indecent. It is also legal for women in a range of American states though plenty still outlaw.
'So I can go topless here in Kelowna?' Welbourne went on.
'Well, evidently,' Gray said. 'I'm not suggesting you should do that but I don't think you’d be committing any crime or breaking any bylaw.'
Groups of women turned out shirtless in cities including New York on August 25 to celebrate a women's right to bare her breasts in public. The annual event was started in 2007.
Welbourne went on to ask the mayor whether he was aware we are all naked under our clothes and whether he had any piercing and he replied in good humor.

Match Report: Manchester United 0 – 0 Chelsea

Manchester United and Chelsea played out a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford on Monday in a game that failed to live up to its pre-match billing.

The fixture marked the first time that David Moyes locked horns with Jose Mourinho as United manager but neither manager could gain the psychological upper hand, although the point puts the Blues clear at the top of the Premier League. 

Oscar tried to prise open a tight United defence in a lacklustre first half but twice wasted good opportunities with weak efforts straight at David de Gea. Robin van Persie had United's best effort when he hit the side netting from inside the area.

The second half followed a similar pattern and England international Danny Welbeck will rue his wastefulness after digging an effort wide after good work from Wayne Rooney.

United also had claims for a penalty when a Tom Cleverley shot struck Frank Lampard's hand in the box.Moyes named Rooney in his starting XI for the first time, with the striker the subject of two rejected bids during the close-season from Monday night's opposition.

Ryan Giggs dropped to the bench to allow for his inclusion.Chelsea started the game with a surprise as Andre Schurrle led the line. Kevin De Bruyne was also given the nod as Juan Mata and Demba Ba were omitted from the side that started against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Both sides struggled to create openings in a tepid opening 45 minutes. It was the away side who had the first chance in the 10th minute when a low De Bruyne cross rebounded to Oscar who hit a tame effort straight at De Gea.

Chelsea had managed to quash the threat Van Persie for the opening 20 minutes but the Dutchman had United's first meaningful effort. Michael Carrick dispossessed Ramires in midfield and the former Arsenal man picked up the loose ball on the edge of the box but he went too wide before firing his effort against the side netting.

Rooney then had his first effort on goal. He showed a neat piece of skill to feint inside Gary Cahill but his shot from 20 yards was weak and rolled harmlessly to Petr Cech.United were beginning to enjoy more of the ball and, in the 38th minute, Phil Jones's low cross was only half-cleared by John Terry and Cleverley hit a first-time shot from 20 yards that cleared the crossbar.

The half ended with a weak shot from Oscar after a series of neat passes in the Chelsea midfield – the Brazilian will feel that he could have done more to trouble De Gea.After a slow start to the second half, United should have taken the lead after 56 minutes.

Rooney showed good control just outside the area before slipping a neat through-ball to Welbeck but the striker fluffed his lines as he chipped his effort over from 10 yards.

Cahill was unlucky with a 30-yard drive that De Gea got down well to save, before United had claims for a penalty.Cleverley's half-volley hit Lampard's hand in the area but referee Martin Atkinson deemed that the midfielder had not deliberately made contact with the shot.

Rooney almost had the last say late on when he tested Cech with a strong 25-yard effort. The shot may have been going wide but the Chelsea man took no chances.

With two minutes remaining, United had another penalty shout when John Obi Mikel turned into Van Persie's volley but the decision would have been harsh on the Nigerian who knew had no time to dodge the shot. -Goal

Why President Jonathan Fired Minister Of Youth Development

President Jonathan on Monday relieved Inuwa Abdul-kadir of his appointment as Minister of Youth Development.

According to a statement from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim, the President's directive takes immediate effect.

The statement, which was signed by the Special Assistant on Media to Mr. Anyim, Sam Nwaobasi, directed Mr. Abdul-kadir to hand over to the permanent secretary of the ministry.

The President expressed appreciation to Mr. Abdul-kadir for the time he put in the service of the nation and wished him success in his future endeavours.

"Mr. President expresses appreciation to the Former Minister for the time he put in the services of the nations and wishes him success in his future endeavor," it said.

Although, the statement was silent on the reason for Mr. Abdul-Kadir's sack, presidency sources said it might not be unconnected with his closeness to the governor of his home state, Sokoto, Aliyu Wamakko.

2015 politics

The Sokoto state governor recommended Mr. Abdul-Kadir for the appointment when his (Abdul-kadir) predecessor resigned to contest the governorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2011. Mr. Wamakko was also an aspirant in the primaries and eventually emerged the party's candidate before winning re-election.

A presidency source claimed that Mr. Abdul-kadir is an interim official of a new political association, Voice of the People, VoP, floated by Mr. Wamakko and five other PDP governors; and now seeking the nod of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as a party.

It was gathered that the former minister may have been functioning as the protem secretary of the new group.

Media reports on Monday had linked seven PDP governors- Chubuike Amaechi (Rivers), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Mr. Wamakko, all of who belong to the faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, chaired by Mr. Amaechi- with the new association.

Apart from belonging to the parallel faction of the governors' forum, the governors are also believed to be opposed to the undeclared second term aspiration of Mr. Jonathan.

Some of the governors had also visited some former leaders of the country in their acclaimed bid to save its democracy. In the course of the visit, they canvassed the removal of Bamanga Tukur as the national chairman of the PDP, an alleged move to get at the President. -Premium Times

3 Shot, 7 Arrested As APC Factions Clash In Ekiti

Three people were shot after armed supporters of two factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Monday, clashed in Ekiti.

Seven people have been arrested in connection with the clash which began last Friday between supporters of Opeyemi Bamidele, representative of Ekiti Federal Constituency at the National Assembly and Dipo Akinwumi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in the state.

Mr. Bamidele, who also belongs to the APC, is nursing a governorship ambition in the 2014 election.

Both groups had earlier clashed on Friday at the burial ceremony of Felicia Akinwumi, mother of Mr. Akinwumi.

The offices of both Messrs Bamidele and Akinwumi were vandalized in the ensuing violence which also left several people injured.

Mr. Bamidele, however, blamed the violence on the supporters of Kayode Fayemi, the Ekiti State governor, allegedly led by Deji Adesokan, Special Assistant on Internal Security to Mr. Fayemi.

In a statement on Monday, Mr. Bamidele described the "war" from the state governor's camp as an attempt to break the "unflinching solidarity and support" of his supporters.

The statement signed by Ahmed Salami, Mr. Bamidele's Media Assistant, identified the three people that were shot at Iyin-Ekiti as Ola Fatokun (shot in the hand); Rasaki Bello (shot in the stomach); and Ige Adeola, (shot in the back).

It further stated that Monday's violence was a continuation of last Friday's havoc caused by Mr. Adesokan (popularly known as Jarule) and Tajudeen Awe, another aide to the governor.

Efforts to reach Olayinka Oyebode, Mr. Fayemi's Chief Press Secretary, were not successful. Phone calls and text messages were unanswered.

Mr. Bamidele's statement accused the governor's men of invading Iyin Ekiti, on Friday, with a detachment of thugs, coordinated by one Niyi Adedipe, and brandishing weapons.

"More than ten people were wounded with a total of six cars destroyed in a Gestapo like operation by the anti-people's army obviously being funded under the command of Deji Adesokan and Major Tajudeen Awe," Mr. Bamidele said.

"In a most daring manner, the Jarule and Awe led terror machine moved from Iyin Ekiti straight to Honourable Michael Opeyemi Bamidele's campaign office in Ado Ekiti and completely vandalized the office causing inestimable damages.

"It is unbelievable that such an act of terror can be happening in broad day light at a time that the nation is enforcing a state of emergency to stem the perpetration of terrorism and guarantee the security of lives and property in some other parts of the country," he added.

While calling on Mr. Fayemi to call his men to order, Mr. Bamidele said that the "extra-judicial attacks and bloodsheds" would not deter him from the 2014 governorship race.

"We are determined by grace of God to run a decent, issue based, people friendly and scientific campaign that would clearly show that we have the maturity, the cognate experience, courage, divine favour and strength of character that is needed to fill the leadership vacuum and rally all stakeholders together to move Ekiti forward," Mr. Bamidele said.

SSS Quizzes Mother Of Teenage Boy Found In Arik Air Tyre Hole

A teenage boy, Daniel Ihekina, who hid in the tyre hole of Arik Air flying from Benin to Lagos.

The mother of the 13-year-old stowaway, Ricky Daniel Ohikhena, who on Friday hid in the tyre compartment of an Arik plane on a flight from Benin to Lagos, was on Monday quizzed for hours by a combined team of security operatives from the Department of State Security Service and aviation security.
The mother, Evelyn, who confirmed that she was quizzed by the SSS operatives, said her son was a nice boy who never displayed any tendency for such a dangerous venture.

An embattled Evelyn said Daniel was a nice boy who did not mingle with bad friends.

She said, "My son answers Daniel in school and Ricky at home. I went to my elder sister's place who put to bed and when I got home the next morning (Saturday), I couldn't find him. My daughter told me that they quarrelled in the night because he woke at midnight to watch movies and she told him to stop watching movie in the night and she said he eventually slept in the parlour while she said she went back to sleep in the room.

"One of his younger brothers said he saw him remove all his school books from his bag; so I asked my neighbours whether any of them saw him and they told me that at around 5 to 6 am, they heard sounds that somebody was opening the gate but never thought it was my son. He doesn't go out. What I know is that he is always watching films in the house but he doesn't have friends.

"I went to Oba Market police station, they referred me to Evbuotubu police station, when I got there they said they will declare him missing after 24 hours and that I should come back the next day."

Speaking on the type of person her son is, Evelyn said, "He is always at home, I have never seen anybody come to look for him and he doesn't have friends. I am begging the government to help me, because I have never been to the airport before, I have been to Lagos before so they should help me. I don't know how he manage to get there but I just thank God that he is alive.

HAVE YOU HEARD: Senator's Son Arrested For Robbery

A former Senator's son is being remanded in prison over his involvement in an armed robbery in Abuja.

Informed police sources revealed to the Nigerian Tribune that the former senator's son from Ekiti State had led a gang of armed robbers to rob a colonel, names withheld, at Mbora Estate, where his AK-47 rifle and other valuable items were removed.

The source disclosed that the robbery operation, which took place on July 5, resulted in the arrest of the ex-senator's son, names withheld.

The sources said that in the process of investigation, operatives from the Special Anti -Robbery Squad working on information, subsequently arrested the suspect while a search conducted in his house around Life Camp area, Abuja. The search revealed 16 live cartridges and some other incriminating exhibits.

During interrogation, the suspect was alleged to belong to a notorious armed robbery gang that had been terrorising the FCT and its environs.

The suspect reportedly told his investigators that his friend, an Igbo boy, brought the gun and the cartridges to his house and that the boy had gone back to the East with the intention of bringing more arms and ammunitions.

He, however, denied participating in the robbery attack on the colonel's house at Mbora Estate.

He confirmed that the said Igbo boy brought two laptop computers robbed at gun point to him, which he sold in the GSM Village, Abuja.

Nollywood Actor Dele Odule lacks enough respect for elders - Lere Paimo Reveals

Chief Lere Paimo, MFR, popularly known as Eda, is the acting Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP). The veteran thespian recently visited the Tribune House, in Ibadan to debunk rumours doing the rounds on his state of health. He opened on the crisis rocking ANTP, his take on the new face of the association, among other issues. SEYI SOKOYA who spoke with Eda, brings the excerpts.

You are the acting chairman, Board of Trustees of the Association of Nigeria Practitioners (ANTP), what part are you playing as one of the elders to put an end to the age-long crisis dwarfing the progress of the association?

I have always made efforts to ensure that peace returns into our association. My priority is to reform and ensure that the truth prevails. I believe any member who had not or made an attempt to kill one another's child can contest for any post in the association. But some mischievous elements want to remain in power at all costs and this ugly development has pulled the association backward. We are making necessary efforts to correct the wrongs and return to the right track so as to ensure the truth prevails.

It was said that a faction rose against you because you were in support of another candidate. How true is this?
It was not because we supported or routed for a particular faction that caused it; they are the bad eggs who started the whole thing. They were the first to go to court, and if you want to know an irresponsible person, an issue that had not gotten to a stage where the court is the next step, they went to file a case. That is what they do. They were annoyed because they knew we were saying the truth and we will not stop telling the truth; we won't take their lies because they met us in the system.

It seems the former president, Jide Kosoko is also not on your side...
Jide Kosoko is the brain behind the whole chaos in the association. He was the former president of the association who refused to step down despite the fact that his tenure had lapsed. He stood to install his successor, but the elders were against his decision. He cannot dictate to us. Members of the association have the collective right to elect whoever they want in power. According to a Yoruba adage: "Omode ti o ba ni tagba bawo, oko iparun lo n lo."Any young person who tries to deride his elders is heading for destruction.

Are you saying that the elders and the entire association did not support Jide Kosoko's intention to bring in a successor?
No matter how brilliant his successor is, under any circumstances, he does not have the right to impose him on us. The association has the collective responsibility and absolute right to vote in whoever the members want. We did not welcome the idea because he wanted to monopolise the idea. We are against his decision. He is not the type that will be dictating in the midst of us. His pieces of advice or suggestions are always welcomed, but he is always on the verge of making decisions and dictating to the association.

Are you aware that this age-long crisis is affecting the progress of your association?
I want to assure you that the crisis will soon be over, it is normal for an association to encounter challenges . We will regain all what we have lost while the crisis lasted. People know that ANTP still exists. We don't want anybody to panic. Our worry is for those that are nursing fears; I want to use this opportunity to appeal to them. Our major goal is that the truth should prevail and I am sure that we will get over the current challenges and move on to the next phase.

Some members of the association still regard Jide Kosoko as the president. How would you explain this?
It is the novice and members of his faction within the association that still recognise him as the president. His four years tenure had lapsed; he has handed over his office, how could he still be recognised as the president?

Can you tell us your candidate between the duo of Dele Odule and Victor Ashaolu?
It is not that I am supporting anyone, but I will always throw my support behind whoever is ready to serve the association with a pure mind and most importantly, someone who is ready to tell the truth and respects the elders of the association. We don't and will not support a self-centered leader. Comrade Victor Ashaolu has proved and laid a precedent. He is truthful.

Do you mean Dele Odule is not truthful?
I did not say he is not truthful, but respecting the elders is the most important thing.

So he lacks respect?
He doesn't respect the elders enough. He cannot be dictating to us. We won't take that.

What is the  latest about the court case now?
The hearing of the case comes up in few months time and the judgment would be delivered. We will all accept the judgment in good faith. I know God is not behind the wicked, no matter what. I am very sure that the truth will prevail.

What's your advice for the aspiring youths that also want to join the folk?
I want to urge them to always show their talents positively, and most importantly, they should respect the elders. They should have positive minds towards the progress of the association. They must also be conscious of the passion for the job and not crave for money alone.

Taking a look at the trend of the movies we have today, it appears like comedy films have displaced typical traditional movies, are you also looking into this?
That's part of what we are saying-they don't give them to the experts. They consider and work on their thoughts only. I could remember vividly when we started; the moment we had an idea or scripts, we took them to experts and elders to also take a look at them and give their professional advice. We didn't say we know it all. We are urging our crop of young producers and actors to turn a new leaf.  A lot of things are wrong, the titles they give their movies and their costumes are nothing to go by.

Back to why you were here. What do you think is responsible for the rumours doing the rounds that you were paralysed and even dead?
Those who are spreading the rumours are agents of devil. They have been doing this for so long. Despite the fact that they were cautioned, they still went ahead to peddle false rumour on social media that my  health condition had gone from bad to worse and that I am dead. I think one of the things that brought about this is the crisis between the factions of the leadership of the association. They want to tarnish my image because they felt I am supporting the other faction.  As you can see, I drove myself to your office all the way from my house. Can a paralysed or a dead person drive? I want to thank God that their wish did not prevail over me, the rest should be theirs. I am hale and hearty; I am neither paralysed nor dead. I want to use this medium to clear the air and inform my fans and the general public that nothing is wrong with me. I am very sound.

Broke Super Eagles Coach turns wrist-watch seller

What?! New reports surfacing online claim that a certain Nigerian coach - who is now broke - deals with buying wristwatches at cheap prices in Europe, only to sell to the super eagles players at ridiculous rates.
Punch reports thus:
"Some Super Eagles players have accused one of the coaches of the national team of extorting money from players through his wristwatch business.
According to the players, they became enemies of the said coach if they refused to buy the wristwatches from him.
"The coach buys the wristwatches between $500 and $1000 in Europe and forces us to buy them for $10000. If you don't buy, you are regarded as an enemy," one of the senior players of the national team, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent.
"The most painful thing is that these wristwatches are sold at very cheap prices in Europe; they go for between $500 and $1000 but he brings them here to sell for us at such outrageous prices. I have to buy  or I would be seen as encouraging the other players not to buy."

Another player, who plays in Eastern Europe, also complained of the same problem. The player, who also pleaded anonymity, said he almost lost his place in one of the junior national teams because of the wristwatches.
"Before I moved to my present club, I was on an apprentice contract, which means I wasn't collecting much money but the coach forced me to buy the watch.
"The same thing happened to me, when I was invited to the senior team. It is not good for the team because a lot of players are grumbling, though they can't come out and say it."
An official of the team confirmed the story saying, "I have heard about the story before."
But the Eagles media officer, Ben Alaiya, denied any knowledge of the illegal transactions.
He said, "I am not aware of any such story. The Super Eagles is not a market place; if at all anything like that is happening, I think it's a private transaction between those involved. But I am not aware of anything like that."

'I Thought The Plane Was Going To America' - Boy Who Hides Himself In Arik Aircraft Tyre Admits

Daniel Ihekina, the young boy who was arrested at the arrival terminal of Lagos' Muritala Muhammed International Airport on Saturday actually thought he was going to the United States Of America - lol!.
According to investigators, the youngster made the desperate move in an effort to travel abroad.
While confessing to FAAN officials after his arrest, Daniel claims maltreatment he received from his parents forced him to attempt to leave them for good. Daniel Ihekina said he was disappointed when he discovered he was still in Nigeria.

The alleged hero of many Nigerians has been handed over to SSS Officials for further investigation as his parents head to Lagos to pick him up.

Daniel Ihekina allegedly hid himself in the tyre compartment of a Lagos-bound Arik Air flight on Saturday. The flight took 35 minutes.

Unknown to him another boy who made the desperate move in 2010 was found dead when the plane landed in America.
