I believe this SCOAN deliverance worked for Jim. He has really been delivered. Lol. Normally, he would have gone off on those who criticized him...but his response is so mature. Well done, Mr Iykehukwu. :-)

Police arrest three teenage stowaways at Lagos airport
The only disadvantage of celebrating and giving scholarship to Daniel Oikhena is this - copy cats.
Apparently impressed by the national recognition Daniel got for beating airport security and successfully flying in the tyre hole of a Lagos-bound Arik plane from Benin, three teenage boys have attempted to do the same. Lateef Popolla, 13 (from Ogun State) Amadi Joshua, 14 (from Ebonyi state) and Ukpabio Onyedikachi, 14 (from Abia State) were arrested at different times at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja by the Airport Command of the Nigeria Police Force for allegedly attempting to illegally board some international flights in Lagos, Punch reports.
The commissioner of police at the airport command said the boys were found at different times at the airport with the aim of getting into any plane and travel out of Nigeria. The boys deny they were attempting to board any plane...

U.S Government Shuts Down After Lawmakers Fail to Agree on Funding Bill
After an all-day game of legislative ping pong that stretched into the early morning hours of Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement on how to keep the government funded, forcing the country into its first government shutdown in nearly two decades.
“This is a very sad day for our country,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said shortly after the government shutdown Tuesday morning. “This is an unnecessary blow to America.”
Congress engaged in a game of political hot potato over the past few days as House Republicans have tried to tie the defunding or delay of Obamacare to the government funding bill, and Senate Democrats have insisted they will only accept a clean continuing resolution.
House Republicans are now pushing for a meeting with Senate negotiators in order to work out a deal that would change Obamacare and fund the government for six weeks.
“The House has made its position known very clearly. We believe that we should fund the government and we think there ought to be basic fairness for all Americans under Obamacare,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters at a late night news conference. “The Senate has continued to reject our offers but under the Constitution there’s a way to resolve this process and that is to go to conference, and talk through your differences.”
Around 1:30 a.m., the House adjourned and Boehner left the Capitol without an agreement in place. Asked whether he is now prepared to vote on a clean continuing resolution, Boehner maintained that Republicans “are hoping that the Senate will take our offer to go to conference.”
“Let us resolve our differences,” Boehner said. “The House has voted to keep the government open but we also want basic fairness for all Americans under Obamacare.”

Greedy Toad swallows a bat whole in rainforest [PHOTO]
A greedy toad found deep in the Peruvian rainforest tried to swallow a hapless bat whole but only succeeded in making itself look like a bizarre mutant animal as it failed to eat its super-sized meal. A quick-witted ranger captured the comic scene, which saw both animals suffer some discomfort but survive
This is not a bizarre new mutant creature, but a giant toad after swallowing a bat WHOLE.
The greedy toad tried to swallow an entire bat in one go – but could not fit the animal in its mouth.
Park ranger Yufani Olaya spotted the strange behaviour in the Cerros de Amotape national park in Peru.
He said the cane toad was sitting on the ground with its mouth open, waiting for dinner to appear.
Experts believe bats fly close to the ground to catch insects and Mr Olaya said this unfortunate bat almost flew straight into the toad’s open mouth.
The amphibian clamped its powerful jaws around the furry critter, cramming it into its mouth.
Apple overtakes Cocacola as world's number 1 most valuable brand
For thirteen years, Cocacola was the world's number one most valuable brand...but not anymore. In 2013, two brands took over - Apple and Google, leaving Cocacola at number three.
Apple is the new most valuable brand in the world, according to a closely followed annual report. The report, to be released next Monday, is from Interbrand, a corporate identity and brand consulting company owned by the Omnicom Group that has been compiling what it calls the Best Global Brands report since 2000. The previous No. 1 brand, Coca-Cola, fell to No. 3.
Not only has Apple replaced Coca-Cola as first among the 100 most valuable brands based on criteria that include financial performance, this is the first time that the soft drink known for slogans like “It’s the real thing” has not been No. 1.
