http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The third Islamist militant who carried out an attack on Saturday in London that killed seven people was a Moroccan-Italian called Youssef Zaghba, an Italian investigative source said on Tuesday. Zaghba’s mother lives in the northern Italian city of Bologna and he had broken off relations with his Moroccan father, the source said, confirming a report on the website of newspaper Corriere della Sera. Corriere wrote that Zaghba was stopped at Bologna airport in 2016 when he was trying to fly to Syria via Turkey. Italian authorities tipped off Britain about his movements. He was born in the Moroccan city of Fez in 1995. London police, who had identified the two other attackers as Khuram Butt and Rachid Redouane, later confirmed the third one as Zaghba. In Britain’s third Islamist attack in as many months, three men on Saturday rammed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before running into the Borough Market area, where they slit throats and stabbed people ind...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The National Agency for Food And Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), says European Union (EU) rejected 24 exported food products from Nigeria in 2016 for failing to meet standards. The NAFDAC spokesperson, Dr Abubakar Jimoh made the disclosure while speaking with the Newsmen on Monday in Abuja. According to Jimoh, the five major products are groundnut, palm oil, sesame seed and beans that were illegally exported to the EU. He noted that from the information made available to NAFDAC, groundnut was rejected because it contained aflatoxin, which made the quality substandard. “The exported palm oil did not scale through the EU’s test because it also contained a coloring agent that was carcinogenic. “Beans was banned by EU sometime ago but it was illegally exported to European countries. “Beans was initially banned for one year, when EU was not satisfied with our exported beans in terms of quality assurance, it extended the ban by another two years, which e...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Members of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, in Nasarawa state have commenced an indefinite strike on Friday  following  the state  government’s inability to meet their demands.

http://ift.tt/2q6wTzp (Try It Tonight) I once asked myself; what was going through the mind of God, when He invented sex? Why did God put this strong drive in man and woman. Why is it difficult to do without sex? Why do my dick get so hard when when I squeeze my wife’s breast? I Even Asked my Self Why Do sex even exist apart from reproduction? The only answer I was able to get within me was that, God invented sex for the sole purpose of enjoyment that is why men and women cant do without sex and the associated pleasure. May I say however, that sex is sweet . In fact, very sweet. Even though many people avoid talking about it, especially in religious circles, the truth is we all feel it. Even the thought of it alone, let alone the main act, is like honey to the soul. Though relationships are not all about sex, but wait a minute, it is vital to the growth of your relationship. Remember that moment when your woman will grab your dick and hold it so strong, She will twist and bend it...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho heaped praise on Marcus Rashford’s desire to improve after the 19-year-old’s brilliant free-kick handed the English giants a 1-0 Europa League semi-final, first leg win at Celta Vigo on Thursday. One moment of magic from the England international settled a tight encounter as he pulled his strike across Celta Vigo goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez into the far corner 23 minutes from time. “The free-kick is work. He works every day. Sometimes the training session finished and he keeps working with my assistant,” said Mourinho. “The free-kick is fantastic and I don’t think the goalkeeper has any chance because the shot is very fast.” Rashford and United could have had more of an advantage to take back to Old Trafford for the second leg on May 11. Alvarez made a string of first-half saves to deny Rashford, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jese Lingard. However, Mourinho praised Rashford’s ability to handle the pressure since Zlatan Ibrahimovic...
