MAN TIES SON'S HANDS AND LEGS AND SET HIM ABLAZE IN KWARA

A commercial driver identified as Kehinde Akangbi has been accused of setting his 22 year old son, Sola ablaze for allegedly stealing from a roadside beggar in Omu-Aran in Kwara state.

According to a report by Vanguard, Sola who is a Wheelbarrow pusher and alleged troublemaker, was accused of stealing money from roadside beggars. He was apprehended and then taken to his father who allegedly took him to the bush at Omu-Aran-Isanlu-Isin road where he tied his hands and leg and then set him on fire.

Sola, who was still alive when he was rescued, told his rescuers that his father was responsible for the act. He was rushed to the Ajisafe Hospital, Omu-Aran where he was treated for high degree burns. He passed away as the fire had burnt most parts of his body.

The mother of the deceased, Rachael, who was at the hospital when her son died, expressed her sadness at the allegation that her son's father who she has since separated from, carried out such an act on their son.

The Kwara state Police Public Relation Officer Ajayi Okunsanmi confirmed the incident and said the suspect was already in police custody and that investigation was ongoing.

A CHURCH BUILT IN TAIWAN TO RESEMBLE HIGH HEEL GLASS SHOE

The fashionable church building is located in the Southwest Coast Scenic Area in Taiwan. The huge high-heel shoe is 17m high and 11m wide, and made of 320 pieces of glass.

According to the administrative office of the building, this church might look very stylish but it also blends with tradition. In tradition, the bride needs to wear high-heels to tread on tiles and then throw away the shattered pieces before stepping in the bridegroom’s family, which signifies the end to past misfortunes and the beginning of a better life.

They decided to build a high-heel shoe-like church for couples to get married and take wedding photos. The church is expected to open in February of this year during the annual Spring Festival.

FORMER CHELSEA DOCTOR ARRIVES AT COURT TODAY TO BEGIN CASE AGAINST CLUB AND JOSE MOURINHO

Former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro's together with her husband arrived at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon to begin her constructive dismissal case against the club. The preliminary hearing will take place today & is expected to be in private before an employment judge.

The 42yr old doctor was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho criticized her and first-team physio Jon Fearn for going onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard on the opening day of the season.

The action meant that Chelsea was temporarily down to nine men against Swansea, and afterwards Mourinho called Carneiro and Fearn ''impulsive and naive''.

Carneiro did not appear on the bench again for first-team duties and later parted company with the club.

Mourinho was cleared of using discriminatory language towards her following an investigation by the Football Association. Afterwards, Carneiro and the FA's independent board member Dame Heather Rabbatts criticized the governing body for not interviewing the doctor as part of its investigation.

Mourinho could be forced to give evidence in person at a full employment tribunal, but would only face a maximum £1,000 fine if he did not attend.

Yet he could be told to pay Carneiro hundreds of thousands of pounds if she wins her case, and the club failed to indemnify Mourinho as part of his compensation package.

Carneiro has also had backing from FIFA's medical chairman Michel D'Hooghe, who contacted the doctor to offer his support and that of the world governing body. He has backed Carneiro's insistence that she was just doing her job.

OBAMA ACTS ALONE ON GUN CONTROL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tears streaking his cheeks, President
Barack Obama launched a final-year push Tuesday to
tighten sales of firearms in the U.S., using his presidential
powers in the absence of tougher gun restrictions that
Congress has refused to pass.
The president struck a combative tone as he came out with
plans for expanded background checks and other modest
measures that have drawn consternation from gun rights
groups, which Obama accused of making Congress their
hostage. Palpable, too, was Obama's extreme frustration at
having made such little progress on gun control since the
killing of 20 first-graders in Connecticut confronted the
nation more than three years ago.
"First-graders," Obama said woefully, resting his chin on
his hand and wiping away tears as he recalled the 2012
massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "Every time I
think about those kids, it gets me mad."
Obama's 10-point plan to keep guns from those who
shouldn't have them marked a concession by the president:
He'll leave office without securing the new gun control laws
he's repeatedly and desperately implored Congress to pass.
<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/photos/gun-control-
debate-1365533643-slideshow/">
Although Obama, acting alone, can take action around the
margins, only Congress can enact more sweeping changes
that gun control advocates say are the only way to truly
stem the frequency of mass shootings.
"It won't happen overnight," Obama said. "It won't happen
during this Congress. It won't happen during my
presidency." But, he added optimistically, "a lot of things
don't happen overnight."
The National Rifle Association, the largest gun group,
panned Obama's plan and said it was "ripe for abuse,"
although the group didn't specify what steps, if any, it will
take to oppose or try to block it. Even Sen. Joe Manchin, a
Democrat and gun-owner who co-wrote the bipartisan bill
Obama supported in 2013, took issue with the president's
move.
"Instead of taking unilateral executive action, the
president should work with Congress and the American
people, just as I've always done, to pass the proposals he
announced today," Manchin said.
The centerpiece of Obama's plan is an attempt to narrow
the loophole that exempts gun sales from background
checks if the seller isn't a federal registered dealer. With
new federal "guidance," the administration is clarifying
that even those who sell just a few weapons at gun shows,
flea markets or online can be deemed dealers and required
to conduct checks on prospective buyers.
Whether that step can make a significant dent in
unregulated gun sales is an open question, and one not
easily answered.
Millions of guns are sold annually in informal settings
outside of gun shops, including many through private sales
arranged online. But the Obama administration
acknowledged it couldn't quantify how many gun sales
would be newly subjected to background checks, nor how
many currently unregistered gun sellers would have to
obtain a license.
Easily reversible by a future president, the government's
guidance to gun sellers lacks the legal oomph of a new law,
such as the one Obama and likeminded lawmakers tried but
failed to pass in 2013. The Justice Department said online
the guidance "has no regulatory effect and is not intended
to create or confer any rights, privileges, or benefits in any
matter, case, or proceeding."
What's more, none of the steps would have probably
prevented any of the recent mass shootings that Obama
invoked in the East Room: Aurora, Oak Creek, Charleston,
Newtown, to name some. But Obama defiantly rejected that
critique, dismissing it as the tired trope of gun lobbyists who
question "why bother trying?"
"I reject that thinking," Obama said. "We maybe can't
save everybody, but we could save some."
Hoping to give the issue a human face, the White House
assembled a cross-section of Americans affected by
searing recent gun tragedies, including former Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords. Mark Barden, whose son was shot to
death at Sandy Hook Elementary School, introduced the
president with a declaration that "we are better than
this."
<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/photos/u-s-mass-
shootings-the-dark-side-of-american-exceptionalism-
slideshow/">
Obama readily conceded the executive steps will be
challenged in court, a prediction quickly echoed by
Republicans.
Chuck James, a former federal prosecutor who practices
firearms law at the firm Williams Mullen, said opponents
are likely to challenge Obama's authority to define what it
means to be "engaged in the business" of selling guns
beyond what's laid out in the law. The White House asserted
confidence Obama was acting legally, and said Justice
Department and White House lawyers had worked diligently
to ensure the steps were watertight.
Other new steps include 230 new examiners the FBI will hire
to process background checks, aiming to prevent delays
that enabled the accused gunman in Charleston, South
Carolina, to get a gun when the government took too long.
Obama is also asking the government to research smart gun
technology to reduce accidental shootings and asking
Congress for $500 million to improve mental health care.
Other provisions aim to better track lost or stolen guns and
prevent trusts or corporations from buying dangerous
weapons without background checks.
Obama's announcement carved a predictably partisan
fault line through the presidential campaign.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, both competing for the
nomination from Obama's party, pledged to build on his
actions if elected. The Republican field formed a chorus of
voices vowing to annul the whole package, with Marco Rubio
claiming "Obama is obsessed with undermining the Second
Amendment."

"Rather than focus on criminals and terrorists, he goes
after the most law-abiding of citizens," said House Speaker
Paul Ryan, a Republican. "His words and actions amount to
a form of intimidation that undermines liberty."

NORTH KOREA SAYS SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED FIRST -H BOMB TEST

By James Pearson and Tony Munroe
SEOUL (Reuters)

- North Korea said it successfully tested a
miniaturized hydrogen nuclear device on Wednesday,
claiming a significant advance in its strike capability and
setting off alarm bells in Japan and South Korea.
The test, the fourth time the isolated state has exploded a
nuclear device, was ordered by young leader Kim Jong Un
and successfully conducted at 10:00 a.m. local time (2030
ET), North Korea's official KCNA news agency said.
"Let the world look up to the strong, self-reliant nuclear-
armed state," Kim wrote in what North Korean state TV
displayed as a handwritten note.
The nuclear test drew condemnation abroad, with China,
the North's chief ally, expressing "resolute opposition" and
saying it would lodge a protest with Pyongyang.
While a fourth nuclear test had been long expected, the
claim that it was a hydrogen device, much more powerful
than an atomic bomb, came as a surprise, as did the timing.
It ensures that North Korea will be a key topic during the
U.S. presidential campaign.
North Korea has long coveted diplomatic recognition from
Washington but sees its nuclear deterrent as crucial to
ensuring the survival of its third-generation dictatorship.
"With Iran being off the table, the North Koreans have
placed themselves at the top of the foreign policy agenda
as far as nation-states who present a threat to the U.S.",
said Michael Madden, an expert on the country's secretive
leadership.
South Korean intelligence officials and several analysts
however questioned whether Wednesday's explosion was
indeed a full-fledged test of a hydrogen device.
The device had a yield of about 6 kilotons, according to the
office of a South Korean lawmaker on the parliamentary
intelligence committee - roughly the same size as the
North's last test, which was equivalent to 6-7 kilotons of
TNT.
"Given the scale, it is hard to believe this is a real hydrogen
bomb," said Yang Uk, a senior research fellow at the Korea
Defence and Security Forum.
"They could have tested some middle stage kind (of
device) between an A-bomb and H-bomb, but unless they
come up with any clear evidence, it is difficult to trust
their claim."
Joe Cirincione, a nuclear expert who is president of
Ploughshares Fund, a global security organization, said
North Korea may have mixed a hydrogen isotope in a
normal atomic fission bomb.
"Because it is, in fact, hydrogen, they could claim it is a
hydrogen bomb," he said. "But it is not a true fusion bomb
capable of the massive multi-megaton yields these bombs
produce".
The United States Geological Survey reported a 5.1
magnitude quake that South Korea said was 49 km (30
miles) from the Punggye-ri site where the North has
conducted nuclear tests in the past.
North Korea's last test of an atomic device, in 2013, also
registered at 5.1 on the USGS scale.
The test nevertheless may mark an advance of North
Korea's nuclear technology. The claim of miniaturizing,
which would allow the device to be adapted as a weapon
and placed on a missile, would also pose a new threat to the
United States and its regional allies, Japan and South
Korea.
The North's previous miniaturization claims have not been
independently verified. Many experts also doubt whether
the North possesses missile technology capable of reliably
delivering a warhead to the continental United States.
UN MEETING
The White House said it could not confirm North Korea's
claims of miniaturization and a hydrogen bomb test, but
added the United States would respond appropriately to
provocations and defend its allies.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Japan would make a firm
response to North Korea's challenge against nuclear non-
proliferation.
"North Korea’s nuclear test is a serious threat to our
nation’s security and we absolutely cannot tolerate it," Abe
told reporters. "We strongly denounce it."
South Korea said it would take all possible measures,
including possible United Nations sanctions, to ensure
Pyongyang paid the price after its fourth nuclear test.
"The government must now work closely with the
international community to ensure that North Korea pays
the commensurate price for the latest nuclear test,"
President Park Geun-hye said in a statement. "We must
respond decisively through measures such as strong
international sanctions."
North Korea has been under U.N. Security Council sanctions
since it first tested an atomic device in 2006 and could
face additional measures. The Security Council will meet
later on Wednesday to discuss what steps it could take,
diplomats said.
While the Kim regime boasts of its military might to project
strength globally, it also plays up the need to defend itself
from external threats as a way to maintain control
domestically.
The North's state news agency said it will not give up its
nuclear program as long as the United States maintained
what it called "its stance of aggression".
The nuclear test came two days ahead of what is believed
to be Kim's birthday.
The North called the device the "H-bomb of justice" and
said: "The U.S. is a gang of cruel robbers which has worked
hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK," using
the official acronym for North Korea.
However, the agency said Pyongyang will act as a
responsible nuclear state and vowed not to use its nuclear
weapons unless its sovereignty was infringed. It said it will
not transfer its nuclear capabilities to other parties.

NNPC SAYS, REFINERIES ARE NOW PRODUCING OVER 6.76m LITRES OF PETROL PER DAY

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has announced that the nation’s three refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri have attained a combined daily production of over 6.76 million litres of petrol per day which is projected to increase to over 10 million litres per day by the end of January 2016.
A statement by the NNPC which gave a breakdown of the premium motor spirit, PMS, (also known as petrol) yield from the plants indicates that while Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed a week earlier is producing some 4.09 million litres, the Kaduna Refinery is contributing some 1.29 million litres and Warri which was re-streamed on Sunday is posting a yield of some 1.38 million litres.

The Corporation confirmed that the PMS volumes from the refineries which are currently operating at an appreciable percentage of their nameplate capacities will help stabilize the fuel supply and distribution situation in the country.

THE TURTH

Thinking for yourself needs you to
overcome your self-
sabotage mechanism which tells you it's easier to delegate
your thinking and adopt the opinions of others. Although
this is easier today, will it change your life? How can things
improve in the long-term without improving the way you
approach life?
When you do not tell the truth, then you deceive . Either you
deceive yourself - or someone else. But, long-term, how
can deception help? Whether it's deception about where you
are now, deception about where you want to get to, or
deception about how to get there - it's still deceiving. So
discover the meaning of truth, learn to overcome your self
sabotage, then the truth can work its magic - and set you
free.

"Although the human mind likes to believe that it
is 'of course' dedicated to truth, in reality, what it
really seeks is
confirmation of what it already believes.
"The (self-sabotage mechanism) is innately
prideful and does not welcome the revelation that
much of its beliefs are merely perceptual
illusions."
