Conductor Slumps, Dies At Bus Stop
There was confusion around Aguda bus stop, Ogba, Lagos,
when a middle aged conductor plying Ogba –Ojota route, popularly known as IK,
from Imo State, suddenly slumped and died on Wednesday morning.
Eyewitness accounts revealed that IK, who resides in Oke-Ira
area of Ojodu LCDA, went to work in the morning but wasn’t looking healthy as
usual.
“When he came out this morning, he wasn’t his usual self.
His eyes were bulging and he wasn’t walking too well. Nobody paid him any
attention because he was known to be an alcoholic; he was always seen around
2nd Junction where he indulged in drinking alcohol heavily. Suddenly, he
started vomiting and collapsed. He died on the spot before any help could reach
him,” an eyewitness said P.M.NEWS correspondent.
When P.M.NEWS visited the area, his body was seen covered
with a blanket.
Shop owners locked up their shops were seen milling around
discussing the incident.
Efforts to speak with them proved abortive.

White House's unclassified computer network hacked
.jpg)
Executive office officials: they’re just like you. First, President
Barack Obama suffered the indignity of having his personal credit card
turned down, and now a cyber attack reportedly compromised the White House’s
network.
A White House official told Reuters that the attack was
discovered while officials were taking stock of threats. “In the course of assessing
recent threats we identified activity of concern on the unclassified [Executive
Office of the President] network,” the official said. “Any such activity is
something that we take very seriously. In this case we took immediate measures
to evaluate and mitigate the activity.”
The office’s cyber-security team continues to work on the
issue, which is causing some users on the network to lose connectivity. One
imagines they’re not calling their Internet service provider and trying not to
lose their temper when they’re told to try unplugging and re-plugging in their
modem.
Additional reporting by the Huffington Post revealed that the
attack has been affecting the network for at least two weeks. “Our computers
and systems have not been damaged, though some elements of the unclassified
network have been affected,” an internal memo obtained by HuffPost reads. “The
temporary outages and loss of connectivity that users have been experiencing is
solely the result of measures we have taken to defend our networks.”
FireEye, a private cyber-security company, released a report
identifying Russian, state-backed hackers in a string of attacks on targets
including NATO and the European Union. The group, labeled APT28, also allegedly
attacked a defense contractor working for the United States, though it’s not
thought to be behind the White House attack. Russian officials did not comment
directly on the FireEye report, but issued a blanket denial: “The Russian government does
not support hackers.”
Last year, FireEye subsidiary Mandiant determined that the
Chinese government was likely supporting another hacking group, which was
referred to as APT1. The United States is no stranger to developing and
deploying cyber weapons, either. Michael Joseph Gross’s 2011 Vanity Fair investigation into Stuxnet, the
worm used to attack an Iranian nuclear plant, looks at reported U.S. and
Israeli collusion in the creation of the virus.
It has been a pretty rough year on the Internet. Cyber
attacks have hit Target, Neiman Marcus, AT&T, UPS, JPMorgan Chase, Dairy
Queen, eBay, P.F. Chang’s, the Montana Health Department, Domino’s Pizza, Home
Depot, eroding consumer faith in the ability of companies and government
agencies to fend off hackers.

2 killed in Plateau communal clash
At least people were killed Tuesday in what indigenes say is
a land dispute clash between Iregwe and Rukuba speaking nationals of Bassa
Local Government Area of northern Plateau state.
The state police command confirmed the incident in a
telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday.
Some witnesses said three, not two, persons died in the fatal clash.
The conflicting figures presented by witnesses and the
authority have become the trend in portrayal of casualty rate in Nigeria, with
witnesses presenting higher casualty figures.
“The information at our disposal is that two people died in
the incident, three others were injured, taken to hospital, treated and
discharged,” the police said.
The police spokesman, Abuh Emmanuel, also argued that the
clash was not a communal fight.
“It was reported to us that some unknown gunmen attacked the
community and killed 2 people. We not aware of the cause of the incident yet,
but investigations to that effect is on.
“The Police Commissioner has since dispatched a detachment
of anti-riot police to the area and has restored normalcy. But at the moment no
arrested has been made,” he said

Nicki Minaj denies having ever hooked up with Drake and Lil Wayne in new single "Only"
The rapper has previously been linked with label mate Drake
and label boss Lil Wayne.But Nicki Minaj sets the record straight in her new
single, Only.
The 31-year-old rapper denies having ever hooked up with
either of the rappers in the track released on Tuesday, which also features
Chris Brown.
Lil Wayne, 32, and Drake, 28, both subsequently deny having
ever slept with the Anaconda hitmaker.
Nicki begins with: ‘Yo, I never f***ed Wayne, I never f***ed
Drake/ On my life, man, f***’s sake.’
After her verse, Chris, 25, sings the chorus, which
beseeches everyone to ‘raise every bottle and cup in the sky/ Sparks in the air
like the fourth of July/ Nothing but bad b****es in here tonight.’
Drake then chimes in, making clear he’s never slept with
Nicki… but would certainly like to.
He raps: ‘I never f***ed Nicki cause she got a man/ But when that’s over then
I’m first in line.’
Drake then describes a time he felt particularly tempted,
while admiring Nicki’s assets.
He raps: ‘And the other day in her Maybach/ I thought god
damn, this is the perfect time/ We had just come from that video/ You know LA
traffic, how the city slow.
‘She was sitting down on that big butt/ But I was still
staring at the t*****s though.’
Drake ends his verse with: ‘And Nicki if you ever tryna
f***/ Just give me the heads up so I can plan for it.’
While Drake’s verse is focused on his desire for Nicki, Lil
Wayne is all about celebrating himself, although he does suggest he'd be a good
partner for the star.
