10 Surprising Things Men Don't Know About Female Masturbation

Men, bless them. They love to think about us masturbating, at least the way they think we masturbate based on porn they’ve seen. If only they could be a fly on the wall when we’re actually pleasuring ourselves.

Everything they thought to be true would be rocked.

A woman opens up about her masturbation sessions shares some myths men believe about masturbation.

1. We stick anything and everything in our vaginas. I once had a guy pick up a sculpture of the Eiffel Tower I have on my bookshelf and ask me if I ever stuck it in my vagina. “Are you kidding me?” I asked. He replied, “If I were a woman, I would be sticking stuff in my vagina constantly.” This activated my germophobia beyond belief. All I could think about was what kind of crazy yeast infection I would get if I put that thing in my vag. If I put anything in my vagina — a finger, a vibrator, a penis — I am extremely concerned with it’s cleanliness.

2. We always do it naked or in sexy lingerie. Men like the way I look naked, I know, but that doesn’t mean I get off on myself. I like my body, but I don’t strip down or put on lingerie to pleasure myself, at least not when diddling alone. I usually have my PJs on considering I tend to get business done before bed to help me fall asleep or when I wake up to help me get my ass up. I’m way too tired, lazy, or un-self-obsessed to take my clothes off.

3. That the mere sight of a d**k gets us off. I love d**ks for sucking, for f**king, for fondling. But I don’t look at d**ks when I masturbate, I usually think of the person attached to the penis or the act associated with it. A disembodied d**k is not the least bit sexy to me. Masturbation, for me, always starts with an erotic thought, not a phantom penis.

4. We masturbate with our girlfriends. This idea kills me. Would I ever call my girlfriends up when I’m horny and ask them to come over for a diddle party? Hell no! Even if I were a lesbian, that wouldn’t happen. Masturbation is private unless I’m doing it in front of a sex partner for fun.

5. We fondle our boobs while we masturbate.  Maybe there are some woman out there who fondle their tits when they touch themselves. But I never have. I am just concentrating on getting the job done. Touching my own boobs doesn’t even remotely excite me.

6. We need to masturbate every day. Our sex drives vary, lady to lady, and depending on phases in our lives. Personally, I’ve gone through periods of time where I do masturbate every day, or even several times a day. I’ve also gone through complete fondling droughts where I wasn’t into diddling myself for weeks. My self-pleasure drive is usually connected to my mental state or my hormones. I get hornier when I’m ovulating and when I have my period. My sex drive plummets when I’m going through any kind of stressful life event.

7. We masturbate looking at pictures/porn of hot guys or hot girls. I know a few women who look at porn when they masturbate. Not me. It’s all in my head. I draw on past sexy experiences or fantasies when I’m doing it. I do look at porn, but not while I’m masturbating. It will turn me on, then I’ll masturbate, usually thinking about something else.

8. We like to look at ourselves in the mirror or stand in front of windows while we do it. A guy once asked me if I masturbated in front of my living room window. I found this to be the most amusing question ever. I realize it was just because he wished he would walk by a window and find a woman masturbating. But no. Never. Watching myself or inviting some random person on the street to watch me does not turn me on. At all.

9. We stick our fingers inside of us. Some of us do, of course, but some of us use vibes or other toys. Some of us just rub something against our clit and never put anything inside. Some of us hump stuff. It depends what mood I’m in or how much energy I have. My fingernails are too sharp for a lot of finger action. I think I would lacerate my labia. No thanks

10. We think it’s really hot to masturbate in the shower. Men probably believe this because THEY masturbate in the shower.  Actually, standing up is not an awesome position for me. I do have a shower head that I’ve aimed at my vagina before. I was like, Oh, there’s water shooting at my vagina. OK. Then I continued on with my shower. That was it.

Instagram Deletes Maheeda's Account After Posting This Photo (LOOK)

Jonathan Is Grooming Al-Mustapha to Succeed Him in 2019-Buhari

Some associates of one of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammad Buhari (rtd), yesterday said the confidence exuded by Bamanga Tukur that Jonathan will rule the country till 2019 when a young turk of northern extraction will take over from, is ploy to  secure the votes of the region.

According to them, Buhari, who is being tipped to fly the flag of the APC, discovered before Tukur made his statement that the PDP and the presidency are working secretly to woo the former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, to succeed Jonathan in 2019.

This belief by the Buhari camp is an indication that they see 2015 a already going to Jonathan and betrays the defeatist tendency within their camp.

The game plan, one of the sources closed to Buhari, who pleaded anonymity, is to galvanise al-Mustapha to continue to mobilise the people of the North for the PDP.

"At payback time," another source explained, " the former CSO would first of all be made the runningmate of Jonathan or his next National Security Adviser (NSA), preparatory to succeeding his principal."

Some opinions in the North show that some political stalwarts believe that al-Mustapha's release was engineered by Jonathan for political reasons.

The ex-CSO was accused of complicity in the murder of Kudirat Abiola, the wife of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was annulled by the military administration then in power.

Since his release, al-Mustapha, has been working closely with ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Mujahid Abubakar Asari Dokubo, to unite Nigerians and mobilise the youths for a yet-to-be stated purpose.

The litmus test of his political popularity was when he staged a rally in Kaduna, the political base of the incumbent Vice-President, Namadi Sambo, despite the latter's behind-the-scene effort to frustrate the gathering.

"We have information on what prompted Tukur to make the statement he made, and we are waiting to see how the deception will play out,"

One source said: "The political strength of Buhari in the North remains strong. I want you to know that much of the deliberations and planning for the registration of members of the APC is being done in his house here in Kaduna."

Equally, it was learnt that in a show of their political immaturity, the Buhari camp believe that the additional five PDP governors that would shift base to the new PDP, in addition to the current G7, would join the APC.

"All the five governors defecting have pledged their support for Buhari" 

10 Health Benefits Of Cucumbers

Cucumbers are the fourth most cultivated vegetable in the world and known to be one of the best foods for your body’s overall health, often referred to as a ‘superfood’. Cucumbers are often sprayed with pesticides so it is important to buy organic or even better, grow them yourself.

2. Rehydrates body and replenishes daily vitamins – Cucumbers are 95 percent water, keeping the body hydrated while helping the body eliminate toxins. Cucumbers have most of the vitamins the body needs in a single day. Don’t forget to leave the skin on because the skin contains a good amount of vitamin C, about 10 percent of the daily-recommended allowance.

3. Skin and hair care – If you don’t like to eat the skin, it can be used for skin irritations and sunburns as aloe would be used. Place a slice over puffy eyes and its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce puffiness. The silicon and sulfur in cucumbers help to stimulate hair growth.

Daily consumption of cucumbers can be regarded as a remedy for chronic constipation.

9.

Jonathan Must Learn From Ethiopia: War Against Indiscipline

When the Nigerian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Paul Lolo, was asked what similarities Nigerians share with Ethiopians, he said that they also love and welcome strangers and visitors like Nigerians do. But the real challenge President Goodluck Jonathan fellow Nigerians face, according to Lolo, is the following:

One thing I admire about Ethiopians which I know we can copy is respect for law and order. They don’t require a big stick to obey the law. Day, night, afternoon and morning, you will find them waiting.
“They have cultivated and imbibed the culture of queuing up. The first person to arrive will be upfront, whoever comes will take his place in the queue.
“We were on this track in Nigeria in the 80s. It was then the government introduced the War Against Indiscipline. That war was beginning to bear fruit when we abandoned the programme. Regrettably, we have not gone back to it in all honesty and seriousness.”
All the things actually mentioned above by the Ambassador boil down to the difference between discipline and indiscipline. 
Because of indiscipline Jonathan and the PDP refused to implement electoral reform.
Because of self-indiscipline the President truncated rotational presidency.

Because of indiscipline Jonathan doesn’t honour the agreement with university lecturers, which poses obstacles to the future of our youth.
Acting as the President for less than 2 months Jonathan started proposing a single term of seven years, giving insincere excuses. That time in 2011, nobody knew he was going to violate his electoral promise of a single 4-year term.
Certain people provide support fo Jonathan in terms of the national conference, which is already doomed to failure, since it is evident it is not in good fate.
Anti-conference advocates once told Nigerians that there was no need for the conference and that the National Assembly would fix Nigeria.
But the question is: What have they done to move Nigeria forward from 1999 to 2013 in terms of what makes for justice, peace, and stability?
So now the appeal is to Nigerians: let’s rally massively behind leaders who epitomise self-discipline and also have proven credibility win  in 2015

3 Qualities Men Can Not Just Ignore in Women

A Woman Who Smiles (more powerful than you might realize)

A woman who smiles makes it easier for a man to approach her by conveying an attitude of confidence, warmth and playfulness. Since many women are fearful of giving men the wrong impression, they frequently guard their smiles. If the only knew that smiling is one of the things men can’t resist. While this approach is safer, it inadvertently sends the wrong message that she is someone who is overly cautious because she has been hurt. In addition, smiling is a sign of acceptance. Men often need some signal that it is safe to approach a woman before they’re willing to risk introducing themselves (unless they are intoxicated).

A Woman Who Listens (instead of dominating the conversation)

Women are generally perceived as rarely really listening to men, at least not beyond a few minutes. Most of the time, a few minutes is all men really need. But since most men hate to be rejected, it is easier for them to keep conversations superficial. Men expect most women to want to talk, rather than be willing to listen. If they happen to meet a woman who listens with her eyes (looks at him while he’s talking) as well as her ears, they are intrigued. If she continues to listen and not take over the conversation, she’s the kind of woman that men can’t resist and want to spend more time getting to know her better. If fact, this is one of the best things you can do on a first date.

A Woman Who Dresses Feminine (men are really visual)

Everyone knows that men are visual. However, women often forget just how helpless men are to what they see. The right visual stimulation can hypnotize any man. Unfortunately, women hear this and often become fearful. They mistakenly believe that men only notice perfect women. Forget perfect! In spite of what you read about in magazines, men don’t expect a woman to be perfect. If you really want to be noticed by men, think colors, dresses which highlight your curves. Men basically like any woman who has that adorable quality that men can’t resist. It isn’t that men don’t find women attractive in pants or when they are dressed comfortably – they just don’t notice them as easily. It doesn’t catch their eye like sparkly earrings, pretty colors or flowing dresses and long hair does. Conversely, a powerfully dressed woman (think lots of red) makes most men think of s*x, or not notice her at all. She may have a soft side, but if men can’t see it, they often don’t know it exists. The more feminine (softer) a woman dresses, the more men she will attract.

5 Simple Ways To Drive Her Crazy During Sex

Strategic strokes, not size, spark her orgasm. If you really want to know what drives her wild, the answer might just be hiding in her drawer.


Here are five lessons you can learn from her favorite sex toys.
1. Linger a Little

Unlike porn actresses, most women first focus sex toys on their clitoris, penetrating only as climax nears

What you can do: Your penis isn't just for penetration. Use it to stroke her outer labia and clitoris during foreplay. Gyrating along these pleasure points while steadily increasing pressure will push her desire to the tipping point, so once you penetrate, you'll deliver orgasm-inducing thrusts.
2. Pick the Right Position

G-spot stimulators target the spongy, sensitive area in her upper vaginal wall, 2 inches from the opening. G-spot (as opposed to clitoral) orgasms come from strategic pressure, not size.

What you can do: To put pressure on this sensitive area with each thrust, you should enter her when she's on her back, with her knees resting on her chest.
3. Warm Her Up

With two vibrating petals shaped like a set of hare's ears, the Rabbit rubs both sides of her clitoris.

What you can do: Stimulate (gently) the clitoris from all sides. First, use your index and ring fingers to rub the sides. After she warms up, simultaneously stroke the top of her clitoris with your middle finger, completing the chorus that will send her over the edge.
4. Multi-Task

Dual-action devices massage her clitoris and G-spot in tandem so she's flushed with sensation in the two areas that trigger an orgasm.

What you can do: Good things come in pairs. If you're licking her clitoris, finger her G-spot. If she's in the cowgirl position, rub her clitoris. At any given time, either the G-spot or the clitoris should receive attention.
5. Change Speeds

The classic, multispeed vibrator lets her focus on her most nerve-rich erogenous spot, the clitoris, as she slowly increases the intensity.

What you can do: A little change is good; too much can capsize an orgasm. Always start slow, with gentle, broad strokes of your finger or tongue. Build toward a climax, instead of rapidly changing techniques and intensity. Hum while you lick and you'll cause the same sensation as her pocket rocket.

Obese Man Loses 115 Kilograms, Becomes Professional Fitness Trainer

By working out and kicking his drinking habit, 31-year-old Mike Waudby, a former morbidly obese man from Kingston upon Hull, England, lost a staggering 18st – about 115kg, in just 18 months Excited about his accomplishment and determined to maintain his new physique Mike weighed 33st (209kg) has become a professional fitness trainer.

Mike’s weight problems started in his young adulthood and by the time he was 21, he weighted about 140kg. He worked various jobs including as a car valet and security guard for a supermarket but as he kept putting on weight, he soon found himself unable to fulfill his job duties. With no employment prospects in sight, he barely left his room, eating whatever his mom cooked for him and drinking alcohol he ordered online. He says it was the booze that made him fat, as he used to drink a whole bottle of whisky and 6 cans of beer every night.

Feeling lonely, he decided to go out one night but was disappointed to discover how judgmental some people could be of his appearance. “I used to go out but, one night, a girl came up to me and asked me to leave the bar I was in. I asked why and she told me I was making her and her friends feel sick,” he relates. This incident left him even more bitter than before and drove him to an attempted suicide. “One night, while listening to Guns N’ Roses, I thought to myself, “What kind of a life is this?” he explains. Tired of being laughed at, he was prepared to end it all. “I had terrible pains but I was too scared to go to the gym and do anything about my weight, as people pointed and laughed at me in the street,” he told reporters. After describing how he ingested two bottles of whisky, eight cans of Stella and as many tablets as he could find, Mike remembers waking up with no headache, no pains, just a sickening feeling that he was still there and not dead.

This experience was the much-awaited wake-up call he needed in order to take control of his life again. Mike stopped drinking altogether and began working out on a cross-trainer that he had ordered online. “Every session on the cross-trainer ended up with me taking my XXXXL dripping wet T-shirt off and just looking down at my belly crying. But, each time, I picked myself up and carried on,” Mike says. After working hard for 18 months, training and staying away from alcohol, he was in the best shape of his life. However, he still felt unsatisfied with his looks because of the excessive skin leftover from losing so much weight. Mike told the Daily Mail that “I felt just as disgusting as I did when I weighed 33 stone. I needed to do something, and I ended up paying for skin on my stomach and upper arms to be removed.” Now, he’s still insecure about his thighs but he’s much happier and healthier.

His confidence regained, Mike – now called “Mr. Muscles” by his friends, regularly posts pictures of his progress on his Facebook profile and even has a girlfriend who “hates people who judge others based on their appearance”, which apparently was the first thing that attracted him to her. He also eats healthier and drinks only “a couple of beers at the weekends.” Wanting to help others, Mike has become a personal trainer and hopes to assist others struggling with the same problems he had to deal with not so long ago.

Check Out List Of Top Nollywood Actresses And Their s*x Scandals

In a recently published story by a Nigerian magazine, the prevalence of scandals in the Nigerian movie industry was highlighted and it was noted that these scandals, which have become synonymous with Nollywood, have been perpetrated mostly by actresses.

  

Scandals ranging from husband snatching to s*xual immorality are synonymous with Nollywood acts, and these have affected the image of many Nigerian actors and actresses.

Below are some of names mentioned in the story;

Mercy Johnson

Mercy Johnson has always been in the news even before her controversial wedding to Edo big boy, Prince Odi Okojie on Saturday, August 27, 2011. The lady hit the news headlines when she was pictured exposing her private part at an event. It was obvious in the photograph that she did not wear pant or bra. Her wedding became an issue, which was feasted on by the print media as she was alleged to have snatched someone’s husband as revealed by one Lovelyn, a supposed wife of Prince Okojie. Mercy Johnson is one actress with scandalous séxual controversies

Ini Edo

Inibong Edobong, better known as Ini Edo. Ini is one Nollywood actress that is synonymous with s*x scandals in the industry. Her wedding was a bit controversial after she was believed to have snatched Philip Ehiagwina from society lady, Ruth Okoro. She was once rumoured to be having a romantic affair with a governor in the South-South region of Nigeria. Also recently, she was reported to have left a club with another man.

Tonto Dikeh

Tonto Dikeh is unarguably the most controversial Nollywood actress. The beautiful lady has always been in the news since her emergence in the movie industry in 2006. She was recently alleged to have been paid N5million for s*x by the Managing Director of Sifax, Mr. Taiwo Afolabi. Tonto is also noted for being a lover of tattoo as she has more than 57 designs on her body. One other thing about this lady is that she is a heavy smoker, and she once had a brawl with Van Vicker on a movie set in 2011.

Iyabo Ojo

Iyabo Ojo is not new to negative stories. It was reported that a top Lagos politician and former Senator gave her the Range Rover SUV she is cruising around town. Her bitter fight with colleague, Lizzy Anjorin was almost becoming monumental until some industry heavyweights stepped in to broker peace between the two beautiful actresses. Apart from that, the controversial actress has been involved in several séx scandals and she was once reported to have been caught having séx with a man at the back seat of a car in London.

Funke Akindele

Until her recent wedding to Oshodi big boy, Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede, Funke was really an actress with many séx scandals.

Genevieve Nnaji

Genny, as sexy Genevieve Nnaji is fondly called, has been romantically linked with several actors in Nollywood. Ramsey Nouah, RMD, Pat Attah and others are some of the men she was rumoured to have dated. Genevieve was once said to have dated a topmost politician in Nigeria, apart from other alleged sexcapades here and there. Though she has become the face of a popular vehicle manufacturer, her s*x life in the industry can never be easily forgotten in a hurry

Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo)

Not many know Tayo Odueke by her real name, she is better known and addressed as Sikiratu Sindodo, a name she got from one of her movie flicks. One of her most popular scandals was her hot romance with a leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Oshodi, Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya also known as MC Oluomo. Oluomo was even said to have sent her to Saudi Arabia for holy pilgrimage. She was also rumoured to have dated actor and producer, Kunle Afod.

Stella Damasus

Nollywood beautiful actress, Stella Damasus is seen by many as the industry ‘good girl’ until she was alleged to have caused the separation of fellow actress, Doris Simeon with her hubby, Daniel Ademinokan.

Bukky Wright

Her failed marriages and romantic affairs with some big wigs in the industry have been a thing for many to feed on. Bukky Wright’s pretty looks has attracted many men to her. The mother of two is surely not free from some scandals associated with the play-acting profession in Nigeria. She has been severally alleged of hoping from one bed to another.

Faithia Balogun

She was rumoured to have alleged that the lady snatched Ajanaku from her. She was once reported to be in sizzling romance with the Director of Corporate Pictures, Alhaji Abdullahi Razak.

Stephanie Okereke

Stephanie Okereke was reported in 2011 to have fought with Genevieve Nnaji when she reportedly found out that Genevieve had allegedly cornered her link to a man in the presidency she reportedly introduced Geneveive to in the presidency.

Soldiers with shopping bags in Kenya mall video

Nairobi - New CCTV footage from Nairobi's Westgate mall appears to shows Kenyan soldiers carrying loot out of the besieged mall, attacked exactly four weeks ago, the Nation newspaper reported on Saturday.

The report comes two days after members of parliament investigating the attack absolved the army of looting.

The Nation said the 30 minutes of footage showed "scores of soldiers rummaging through the Nakumatt Supermarket and leaving with white polythene bags whose contents cannot be seen".

The same footage, which is from the second day of the siege, when only the army had access to the mall, shows individual uniformed soldiers putting their guns down in order to have both hands free to ransack shops.

The four day siege, claimed by Al-Qaeda-linked Islamists started September 21 and left at least 67 dead

The MPs investigating the attack on Thursday said that some owners of businesses in the mall who said their premises had been looted were just trying to get compensation from their insurers.

Several business owners told AFP that they locked their premises before escaping from the mall only to find them ransacked and with valuables missing when they were allowed back in after the siege.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter Gets Engaged to her Brother

Bobbi Kristina Brown isn’t letting her family’s drama get in the way of her happiness. Whitney Houston’s daughter is said to be engaged to her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, Us Weekly reports.

Brown, 19, was recently photographed in Atlanta holding hands and kissing Gordon, the 22-year-old man whom Houston took in 10 years ago after his mother was unable to care for him. According to the magazine, Brown has been wearing a sizeable diamond engagement ring that was once worn by her mother.
“The situation is beyond sad,” a source told Us. “Whitney never formally adopted Nick, but he lived with her and Bobbi Kristina from the age of 12 and they were raised like brother and sister. Nick came from a really bad background.” In addition to their alleged plans to wed, the couple is reportedly living together in one of Houston’s Atlanta properties. “Bobbi Kristina is still so vulnerable since her mother passed away,” the source added. “But Nick has become like her rock.” Not surprisingly, Brown’s family is said to be “really upset” about the young couple’s blossoming romance.

Namely, Houston’s mother has voiced her disapproval. A friend of Cissy Houston told TMZ that the family matriarch said “what they’re doing is incestuous.” She is reportedly afraid Gordon is a bad influence on Brown, and wants him evicted. After rumors that the two are dating surfaced earlier this month, Gordon took to Twitter to slam haters. “Yea we got a little closer and what!” he wrote. He later added, “For the stupid ppl out there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with Everything!” On Wednesday, Gordon told ABCNews.com that he and Brown are “just close – just going through her mom’s passing and grieving together.”
During her interview with Oprah Winfrey on last Sunday’s “Oprah: The Next Chapter,” Brown was seen wearing the alleged engagement ring as she spoke about her famous mother’s passing. “I’m doing as good as I possibly can at this point. I’m just trying to keep going,” she said. “I can sing her music, but to hear it now, I can’t. I can hear her voice telling me, ‘Keep moving, baby. I got you.’ She’s always with me. I can always feel her with me. She used to always say, ‘Do you need me?’ And I said, ‘I always need you.’”

World’s First S*x School Costs £1,400 A Term

The world’s first séx school has caused outrage in Austria after teaching séxual positions and caressing techniques in a ‘hands on’ manner.

In every class at every school there is always one kid who never does his or her homework. That is, until the Austrian International Séx School in Vienna opened its doors.

We can’t imagine they have any problems in encouraging their pupils to partake in some… extra curricular activities.

Charging £1,400 per term the school offers hand-on lessons in seduction – and yes, hands-on means what you think it does.

Students even live in a mixed séx dormitory where they are advised to help each other do their ‘assignments’.

The headmistress – Ylva-Maria Thompson – is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a pórn star and presenter of an erótic TV show.

The 51-year-old said: ‘The emphasis is on how to be a better lover. Séxual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands-on.’

However the school has had its critics – TV adverts showing a couple having s*x have already been banned, with many claiming that the school is essentially just selling séx.

Anyone fancying studying abroad for a year?

Nigeria: Court Stops Baraje, nPDP's Operation in Nigeria

Abuja — It was a sad day in the camp of the Alhaji Kawu Baraje led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Friday, as a Federal High Court in Abuja declared its activities illegal, just as it ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to only recognize the Alhaji Bamanga Tukur led national officers of the party.

In a judgment he delivered yesterday, Justice Elvis Chukwu, specifically ordered Baraje, Dr. Jaja Sam Jaja, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to forthwith, desist from parading themselves as national officers of the PDP.

It would be recalled that prior to the judgement, the defendants, hitherto declared themselves as executive officers of a splinter group of the party popularly referred to as the 'nPDP'.

B’Haram Continues Their Unkoran Act

Suspected members of the Boko Haram militant sect has launched another attack on Sunday, killing no fewer than 19 people, mostly by slitting their throats, at a checkpoint in Yobe.

In the operation, members of the sect also burnt about five trucks, our correspondent gathered.

It was learnt that the members of the sect disguised as soldiers to carry out the assault.

Our correspondent also gathered that unlike the terrorism sect’s previous operations, knives were used to on Sunday.

One of the survivors, Adamu Mallam, said he was dragged out of his vehicle, adding that in the process, men dressed in military uniforms shot two people dead.

“They made me lie face down on the ground. I was next to be killed,” he told Reuters by telephone in a quaking voice.

Mallam, who is a trader, added, “I heard a man close to me screaming. They slaughtered him with a knife. They set five trucks ablaze during the assault.”

Mallam said he escaped when the attackers got a call telling them that a military patrol was coming, which made them ride off.

“One of the attackers received a phone call and they all rode off on motorbikes,” Mallam and another trader said.

Another trader assumed that the call received by the suspected Boko Haram members was an alert informing them to flee.

“I suspect they were alerted to a security presence so had to flee. That call saved our lives,” said the other trader, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals.

However, Boko Haram, which is Nigeria’s top security threat despite an all-out military offensive against it ordered by President Goodluck Jonathan in May.

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen killed 159 people in two roadside attacks in northeast Nigeria last month, also involving fake checkpoints.

In one of the most harrowing last month, suspected Boko Haram fighters stormed a college in northeastern Nigeria and shot dead around 40 male students.

Amnesty International reported last week that around 1,000 people, mostly Boko Haram suspects, had died in Nigerian jails in the first half of the year.

It said some starved to death while others died after being shot or badly beaten without medical attention.

But, the government says detainees are well treated and rarely dealt with.

Euphoric Arsenal wary of Dortmund

London – Arsenal are turning the toughest looking Champions League group into a walk in the park so far and they could take a huge stride towards their customary place in the last 16 with victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

A dazzling 4-1 victory over Norwich City at the weekend, in which Mesut Ozil scored twice, kept Arsenal on top of the Premier League and had fans and commentators alike drooling over the quality of their display.

Early days it may be, but with 10 wins and two draws from their last 12 matches in all competitions, including Champions League triumphs over Marseille and Napoli in Group F, there is talk of something special brewing in north London.

Recent seasons have seen mediocre starts for Arsenal but this time, after an opening day defeat, they have raced out of the blocks with the signing of Ozil seemingly the catalyst for some breathtaking performances.

With record signing Ozil fitting into the Arsenal midfield like a silk glove, Aaron Ramsey unable to stop scoring, Jack Wilshere at his best and Santi Cazorla back from injury, manager Arsene Wenger has the look of the cat that got all the cream.

Last season's runners-up Dortmund pose a considerable threat to the feeling of euphoria sweeping the Emirates stadium but victory would be a huge psychological boost, according to Mikel Arteta, another of Arsenal's midfield gems.

“We have two very difficult games coming up against Dortmund,” Arteta told Arsenal's website (www.arsenal.com).

“After that, we will know exactly where we are in the group. They are a very good side and they are doing well in their own league. Winning the first two games makes a difference and now we have a massive game at home.

“If we win that one we are almost there. I think this is going to be a crucial one.”

Despite reaching the last 16 for a 13th successive time last season, Arsenal paid the penalty for finishing behind Schalke in their group, getting drawn against eventual champions Bayern Munich in the first knockout round.

Schalke and Bayern both won at the Emirates stadium last season and Dortmund, who are tucked in behind Bayern in second spot in the Bundesliga after a 1-0 win against Hanover, will be confident of following their lead.

Juergen Klopp's side suffered an opening day defeat in the Champions League against Napoli when Klopp was sent to the stands after a furious outburst at an official.

Klopp, who will serve the second game of his two-match touchline ban on Tuesday, is highly regarded across the continent and his two Bundesliga titles and a run to the Champions League final attracted plenty of interest from Premier League clubs, according to the 46-year-old.

However, he says he has unfinished business in Dortmund.

“There were some England clubs that called and wanted to speak with me,” he was quoted as saying in the Daily Mirror newspaper. “But there was no reason to talk.

“In life you have to be at the right place at the right moment. I am in Dortmund with all I have. Definitely for the next couple of years.”

Midfielder Marco Reus and defender Marcel Schmelzer both returned to action against Hanover after injuries - a boost for Klopp whose side have three points from their opening two games in Group F after a win against Marseille.

“With a view to Tuesday, the Hanover win was a game that pushed us forward,” Klopp told reporters.

“Especially for those players who had only trained twice before Hanover. So we will be a further step forward when we face Arsenal.”

Dortmund will be without long-term injured Lukasz Pszczek, captain Sebastian Kehl and playmaker Ilkay Guendogan. – Reuters

Who approved Oduah’s N225m bulletproof car purchase?

The controversy surrounding the purchase of two armoured BMW 760 Li cars for N225m for the use of the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, deepened on Sunday, with conflicting information on who gave approval for the transaction.

While some sources alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan might have approved the purchase of the vehicles for the minister by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, our correspondents could not get an independent confirmation from the Presidency as the officials chose to

It was gathered that neither the minister nor the NCAA could have singlehandedly approved the transaction without recourse to other approving authorities.

A highly placed source said the Ministerial Tenders’ Board might have given approval for the contract, instead of the Bureau of Public Procurement, which is responsible for scrutinising and verifying the cost of public procurement contracts.

Usually, the BPP monitors the prices of tendered items and keep a national database of standard prices.

However, a top official of BPP, who spoke to one of our correspondents on the condition of anonymity, said the purchase did not need to pass through the BPP process because the amount involved was not up to the N250m benchmark, except the Aviation ministry elected to subject it to the process.

The source said, “It is not all procurement that comes to the BPP. They don’t have to go through BPP at that level to purchase the vehicles except they so elected. That level of purchase can be handled by the Ministerial Tenders’ Board.

“What the BPP can do on procurements that do not pass through it is to audit them. However, I don’t think that this particular procurement needs to be subjected to an audit process.”

The Director-General, BPP, Mr. Emeka Eze, was, however, evasive when the issue was raised with him on Sunday, saying that he could not confirm whether the purchase of the vehicles was subjected to the agency’s due process.

“I am not in the office and I don’t have information on it with me. You know that we have over 500 agencies that we oversee. So, on a Sunday like this, I will not have all the information except I am in the office,” he said.

An online news agency, Eagelonline.com, quoted the Chief Executive Officer, Armouring LLC, Mr. Dave Simmons, as saying that the price of both cars, including the cost of purchase, armouring and delivery to Nigeria, could not have been more than N76m.

An online news medium, SaharaReporters, had last week reported that the minister forced one of the parastatals under her, the NCAA, to buy two bulletproof cars for her use.

It was reported that the armoured BMW cars, valued at about N127m each, were delivered to the minister in August.

Documents obtained by the medium showed that the transaction for the purchase of the vehicles started in June.

After initial denials, the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Aviation, Mr. Joe Obi, who confirmed the development exclusively to our correspondent on Wednesday, said the vehicles were purchased to protect the minister from some external threats.

He said, “Yes, it is true that some security vehicles were procured for the use of the office of the honourable minister in response to the clear and imminent threat to her personal security and life following the bold steps she took to reposition the sector.

“When she came on board as the minister, she inherited a lot of baggage in terms of the concession and lease agreements in the sector, which were clearly not in the interest of the government and people of Nigeria.

“And so, she took bold steps and some of these agreements were reviewed and some were terminated, and these moves disturbed some entrenched interests in the sector, and within this period, she began to receive some imminent threats to her life; therefore, the need for the vehicles.

“It should be noted that these vehicles are not personal vehicles and were not procured in the name of the honourable minister; they are utility vehicles and are for the office of the minister, and if she leaves the office, she will not be taking the vehicles along with her.”

However, on Friday, the Director-General, NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, said the cars would be used to convey international dignitaries who came to the country on official visits.

He said aviation was a global industry and the NCAA, as the regulator of the industry in the country, very often played host to dignitaries from international civil aviation bodies.

He said it was customary to convey the minister and the visiting foreign dignitaries in security vehicles whenever they were in Nigeria.

 “It must be noted that during such visitations, the security of members of the delegation is the sole responsibility of the host country. The vehicles are, therefore, in the pool of the NCAA for these special assignments and are available at the NCAA office and can be shown to you,” Akinkuotu said.

He announced on Friday that the agency was searching for the person who allegedly leaked the information concerning the purchase of the vehicles to the media, because the Federal Government was concerned about how the information got to the public domain, noting that whoever leaked it had committed a criminal offence.
