Apparently, another 217-mph supercar. Nothing to see here -- just a Lamborghini Aventador patrol car keeping watch on those mean streets of Dubai.

FIFA Rankings: Nigeria’s on a Little Slide 12 April, 2013 Football Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba has voiced his displeasure at the latest monthly rankings released by world football governing body, FIFA. Nigeria dropped one place in the classification for March as their 757 ranking points saw the African champions slip to 31st in the world and fourth in Africa behind the Ivory Coast, Ghana and Mali. Nigeria was previously ranked 30th after racking up 775 points but slipped a solitary place after a less-than-fruitful month following a 1-1 draw against Kenya in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying game in Calabar. Mba, who impressed for the Super Eagles at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, however does not believe the draw against the Kenyans is enough to see Nigeria drop in the rankings. “I am not happy with the rankings but FIFA knows best. We must respect their decision but I don’t think we played...

White House Declares The Obamas’ 2012 Income 13 April, 2013 Foreign American President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle reported about $600,000 (about N90million) in income last year and were taxed at the rate of 18.4 percent, the White House said Friday.

Speaking with Daily Post in Maiduguri, Mr. Uche Abraham said he wondered why this problem has continued to linger when a matter of such demands urgent and wise approach to be resolved.

Space exploration has however been struggling with the global financial crisis and has too proven subject to spending cuts. In particular NASA's planetary science budget, which is ...

P-Square: "So Many Fraudsters Claiming to Be US! Beware!" 12 April, 2013 Arts and Entertainment Last year, a Nigerian fraudster duped a French promoter of a whopping $100,000 after he opened bogus accounts on Twitter and Facebook and claimed he had the franchise to manage P-Square for two years in France. It would seem more people have toed the path of the unfortunate show promoter who has since learnt that when it comes to Naija, the Internet is not a very good place to do business as it is crawling with fraudsters.

Peter Okoye posted a disclaimer on his Twitter account @PeterPsquare and tweeted thus (see photos below): P-Square is currently believed to be the highest earning group in the Nigerian musical space, ...

Samsung Unveils 6.3in Galaxy Mega Smartphone 12 April, 2013 Information Technology Samsung has unveiled the biggest smartphone to date – the Galaxy Mega, which features a 6.3in (16cm) screen. The firm suggested its size made it ideal for watching videos or running two apps alongside each other. Samsung helped popularise the so-called “phablet” category – in which phones approach tablet dimensions – with its original 5.3in Galaxy Note in 2011. That proved more popular than many expected, but one analyst suggested the latest device might be a step too far. Samsung is marketing the Android-powered handset as having a high-definition screen – however, a spokesman was unable to confirm whether it supported 720p or the “full HD” 1080p resolution. Another South Korean firm, Pantech, currently lays claim to offering the biggest “full HD” smartphone with its 5.9in Vega No 6 which was announced in January. China’s Huawei had previously boasted h...

Presidency Scared As Boko Haram Rejects Amnesty 12 April, 2013 Local The Presidency has launched a desperate mission to salvage its shattered amnesty-for-Boko Haram programme. The fundamentalist sect rejected yesterday the planned clemency for its members, saying it should be the one to pardon the government. Some prominent Northern elders believed to be close to Boko Haram have been enlisted to prevail on the sect to embrace peace. But a rights activist, Comrade Shehu Sani, who once facilitated talks with Boko Haram, said the rejection of amnesty by the sect should be expected because the Federal Government failed to do its homework well. Also, a former military governor of Kaduna State, Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, said dialogue with the sect ought to come first before amnesty.To him, the rejection is not surprising. After a parley with all service chiefs last week, President Goodluck Jonathan raised a committee to harness the various...
