''Nigerian Email Scammers Have Been Hired To Run Obamacare Website'' - US Senator Ted Cruz



US Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz addressed an overflow crowd of about 1,000 people on Monday night, October 21st, where he said that the Nigerian email scammers were running the Obamacare sign up website.

His words:
“You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately. They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website.”
That's a very racist  remark coming from a US senator.

HOWEVER, 
United States Senator Ted Cruz on Thursday said he did not mean to offend Nigerians when he took a jibe at the technical glitches being experienced by the website of a new US healthcare law commonly known as Obamacare.

During an appearance in his home state of Texas this week, the Republican Party lawmaker referenced what he called “Nigerian e-mail scammers.”

Senator Cruz was speaking about technical glitches on a new US government website that have prevented Americans from buying health insurance under the Affordable Health Care Act, or Obamacare.

Cruz, who has voiced opposition to the measure, jokingly said, “You know the Nigerian e-mail scammers? They have been a lot less active lately because they have all been hired to run the Obamacare web site.”

His comments stirred outrage among Nigerians and some political commentators across the world, as they demanded an apology from the controversial senator.

The Texas-based KTRK broadcast station reports that a spokesman for Senator Cruz reacted, saying: “The senator was making a joke based on the official term of a commonly utilised type of scam. He meant no offence.”

The Nigerian embassy in Washington has called Cruz’s remarks “unguided.”
In a statement, the Deputy Chief of Mission, Ambassador B.E. Archibong, said the embassy views the comments as a “very expensive joke that was taken too far,” VOA reports.

Senator Cruz’s comments have also been criticized by the Nigerian-American Leadership Council.

In a VOA interview, Executive Director Sam Okey Mbonu said Cruz should issue a “clarification.”
“It is certainly not the most responsible statement from a United States senator,” he said.

“We believe that partisanship has its limits and one does not establish credibility on a national platform by running down a section of the American community.”

Okey Mbonu said some Nigerian Americans would consider the joke offensive.

“It is certainly insensitive,” he said.

“For a senator who perhaps has some medium-term plans for being in the public for a long period of time, we think that those kinds of comments should be well thought out.”

Pastor Felix Awotula with Redeemed Christian Church of God says he fielded calls at his church throughout the day.

“I’m not too sure of the motive behind that. But anyway, the statement has been made, and it has a devastating effect in the mind of Nigerians because we don’t want to identify the country with anything negative. I’m not saying all Nigerians are perfect,” Awotula said.

A commentator, Dallas Jones, with Elite Change, Inc, said: “That type of dialogue is inflammatory. I think it is one that will divide us, as opposed to unite us, and I think that’s what the country wants right now; they want to be united, they want real leadership that’s not going to be culturally insensitive.”

Some viewers say they’ve contacted the senator’s office, asking for an apology.

….Nigeria Signs Bilateral Air Services Agreement with Israel…

…Embattled Aviation Minister STELLA ODUAH in Israel With President Jonathan…



Nigeria signed a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) with the State of Israel yesterday, 23rd October, to enable airlines from both countries fly directly to each other’s territory without stop-overs in other destinations.

In a press statement by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Honourable Minister, Joe Obi, the Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah who left Abuja FCT, on Tuesday Monday  to the State of Israel for the event will stand in for Nigeria.

According to the Minister of Aviation, the agreement signing is the culmination of twelve months of negotiations between officials of the Department of Transportation of the State of Israel and Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Aviation.

The agreement will pave way for direct flights into the two countries by designated airlines from both countries based on the Principles of Reciprocity. Before now, Nigerians travelling to Israel, including Christian Pilgrims have had to endure the long winding stop-overs in neighbouring countries before being airlifted to the Holy Land.

The Agreement also adequately addresses the question of imbalance in the BASA between Nigeria and other contracting countries. Under the terms of this Agreement, Nigeria and the State of Israel will enjoy equal rights and privileges in the implementation of the BASA.

The State of Israel will join three other countries in the Middle East that have air services agreement with Nigeria.

…As Police Arrest People Caught Sagging Their Trousers & Pants  in Public…



According to a report by AFP, police who enforce Islamic law in Kano have arrested 150 people in the last week, including for indecent dress, as part of a crackdown on immorality. 

From AFP 
Some people in Nigeria’s second city have been picked up for sporting hair styles inspired by prominent international football players, said Mohammed Yusuf Yola, spokesman for Kano’s sharia police, or Hisbah. Others were thrown in jail and fined for wearing their trousers too low on their waists, mimicking a style that became prominent in the 1990s, partly through the influence of some American hip hop artists.

 The arrests have followed an order by Kano state Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to cleanse the city of immoral practices and the trend is set to continue in the weeks ahead, said Hisbah Director-General Abba Sufi. The Hisbah is a state police force funded by state govt and is not part of the federal police.“We have arrested 150 men and women in the past week, including prostitutes and their boyfriends, transvestites, alcoholics and those engaged in indecent dressing in contravention of the sharia legal code,” Yola told AFP.

…Steroids Turns 28-Year-Old Female Bodybuilder Into A Man… 

28-year-old female bodybuilder, Candice Armstrong claims steroid abuse has effectively turned her into a man.Once a slender, pretty blonde, Candice is now a hulking brunette with muscles that wouldn't look out of place on Arnold Schwarzenegger and body hair that sprouts from her back, chest and upper lip.
Candice had no intention of becoming so masculine when she began taking the drug, but says that it's too late for her to stop, because if she stops all her muscles will disappear.
The funniest part is that her breasts have also suffered and now hang lifeless from her hugely overdeveloped pectoral muscles.
