ISIS KILL 14 REAL MADRID FANS

ISIS have slaughtered at least 14 Real Madrid fans at a supporters club in northern Iraq.
Three gunmen opened fire with machine guns around midnight at the cafe in the predominately Shi’ite Muslim town of Balad.


Horrific pictures from the scene show the floor covered in broken glass and soaked in blood in the cafe where up to 50 Real fans had gathered.
Posters of the club’s players and coach Zinedine Zidane can be seen hanging on the walls.
President of the Madrid supporters club, Ziad Subhan, said: “A group of Islamic terrorists, from ISIS, came into the cafĂ©, armed with AK-47s, shooting at random at everyone who was inside”.
When asked about the motive for the attack, the president replied: “They don’t like football, they think it’s anti-Muslim. They just carry out attacks like this. This is a terrible tragedy”.
At least 14 people are dead and a further 20 injured.
The assailants fled and hours later one of them set off hisexplosive vest at a nearby vegetable market after police andShi’ite militia members cornered him in a disused building and exchanged gunfire, security sources said.
Four were killed and two were critically wounded, medical sources also said.
ISIS said in a statement that three suicide attackers had detonated their explosives, though security sources said they had only identified one of the gunmen.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic CONFIRMS PSG EXIT

Zlatan Ibrahimovic puts Europe's top clubs on red alert after confirming Paris Saint-Germain exit: 'I came like a king, left like a legend
latan Ibrahimovic put Europe's top clubs on red alert after announcing his summer exit from Paris Saint-Germain in typically understated fashion.
The 34-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and confirmed he will leave the French capital after Saturday's final game of the Ligue 1 campaign, at home to Nantes.
He tweeted on Friday morning: "My last game tomorrow at Parc des Princes. I came like a king, left like a legend."
Ibrahimovic had been widely expected to seek pastures new, and has been linked with a number of English teams including Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
PSG boss Laurent Blanc had retained hope that his talisman would stay put, but Ibrahimovic decided the time was right to move on.
He will walk away with four Ligue 1 winners' medals, three Coupe de la Ligue titles and one - possibly two - Coupe de France crowns. PSG face Marseille in the 2016 final at the Stade de France next Saturday.
Ibrahimovic has previously hinted at a desire to play in England, saying he has "a lot of options". A return to AC Milan or a move Stateside to join the Los Angeles Galaxy have also been mooted.
The Sweden captain has netted 46 goals in all competitions for PSG this term, and is the club's all-time top scorer with 152 goals.
Ibrahimovic started his career in his homeland with Malmo and went on to also win league titles in Holland, Italy and Spain.

NAIRA depreciated by N14 in the parallel market,

As oil & gas shares gain 3.7% on stock market 
 LAGOS — After two months of stability, the naira, yesterday, depreciated by N14 in the parallel market, in response to demand pressure occasioned by the deregulation of petroleum sector announced by the Federal Government, Wednesday.naijagossipinfo
 Buhari Meanwhile, shares of major petroleum products marketers recorded significant price appreciation on the Nigeria stock market in response to the announcement by the Federal Government.
 While announcing the deregulation of petroleum imports, Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, said in order to meet the consumption demand of the country, importers will henceforth be permitted to source for their foreign exchange requirements from secondary sources. This development, according to bureau de change operators, triggered a demand for dollars in the parallel market, leading to sharp depreciation of the naira. Hence, the parallel market exchange rate, which had been stable at N320 per dollar since end of February, rose to N334 per dollar at the close of business, yesterday.
 Confirming this  Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Aminu Gwada, said the market today experienced increased demand due to the announcement that petrol importers should source dollars from secondary sources.
 The market has been stable all this while due to drastic reduction in import activities hence demand for dollars by importers reduced sharply. Those who had bought dollars when the rate was high and used it to import are having difficulty selling their goods, hence those who are still importing have reduced. But the announcement, yesterday, has changed the whole thing. More demand for petrol importation is expected in the market, meanwhile, there is no supply of dollar. Some people with dollar, especially those who bought when the exchange rate was high, feel the rate is too low for them to sell, hence they are withholding their dollars, waiting for the rate to go higher. Oil & gas shares gain 3.7% on stock market The shares of downstream oil marketing companies experienced significant price appreciation on the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE), yesterday, leading to a 3.7 percent increase in the Oil and Gas Index of the exchange. Trading results showed that the shares of Total Nigeria Plc, which led others in the oil and gas sector, appreciated by 6.11 per cent or N9.19 to close at N159.60 from N150.41, followed by Oando Plc, which rose by 5.03 per cent or N0.23 to close at N4.80 from N4.57 perc share. Forte Oil’s shares appreciated by five per cent or N10.50 to close at N220.50 from N210.00; Mobil Oil rose by 3.59 per cent or N5.57 to close at N160.66 from N155.09, while Conoil Plc inched up by 0.33 per cent or N0.06 to close at N18.16 from N18.10 per share. The price gains by the oil marketing firms facilitated the increase in market capitalisation of the NSE to rise by 0.91 percent or N80.7 billion to N8.9 trillion while the All Share Index (ASI) rose by 0.9 percent to close at 25,865.06 points In his reaction, Mr. Johnson Chukwu, Managing Director, Cowry Asset Management Limited, said the appreciation recorded by the companies was a reflection of the liberalisation of the sector, noting that major bottleneck in the sector has been removed.
 He noted that the abnormal profit in the sector would be removed in the next a couple of months as the market adjusts appropriately.
  “The operators in the sector are likely to enjoy some reasonable level of profitability, because their volume will improve and they are no longer going to depend on government to give them allocations,” he said.

World's oldest person dies in New York at age 116

NEW YORK (AP) — Susannah Mushatt Jones, the world's oldest person, has died in New York at age 116

.

Robert Young, a senior consultant for the Los Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group, said Jones died Thursday night at a public housing facility for seniors in Brooklyn where she had lived for more than three decades. He said she had been ill for the past 10 days.




Jones was born in a small farm town near Montgomery, Alabama, in 1899. She was one of 11 siblings and attended a special school for young black girls. When she graduated from high school in 1922, Jones worked full time helping family members pick crops. She left after a year to begin working as a nanny, heading north to New Jersey and eventually making her way to New York.

"She adored kids," Lois Judge said of her aunt in a 2015 interview with The Associated Press. Jones never had any children of her own and was married for only a few years.

Family members said last year that they credited her long life to love of family and generosity to others. Judge said at the time that she believed it helped that her aunt grew up on a rural farm, where she ate fresh fruits and vegetables that she picked herself

After she moved to New York, Jones worked with a group of her fellow high school graduates to start a scholarship fund for young African-American women to go to college. She also was active in her public housing building's tenant patrol until she was 106.

Jones became Guinness World Records' official oldest person when 117-year-old Misao Okawa died in Tokyo last year.

"Ms. Jones was the very last American from the 1800s," said Young, whose group tracks and maintains a database of the world's longest-living people.

Young said 116-year-old Emma Morano, of Verbania, Italy, just a few months younger than Jones, is now the unofficial world's oldest person.

She gave him confidence, more power to her," Kim says. "After Rob and Blac Chyna started dating, Rob is now like all over social media and like out and about. He hasn't 
been like this in so long that even though there's been some drama, if this is what it takes then I don't care who he's dating I'm just so happy that he's feeling better about himself."
Khloe then says, "If some p--sy is getting him to remove his braces and shave his beard and work out..."
"My thing is, do what you want, do what makes you happy...whatever," Kim tells Khloe.
But Kim thinks he should've talked to them, especially Kylie jenner about his relationship with Blac Chyna.
"He just has no loyalty," Kim says.

Breaking: FG removes subsidy, fuel to sell for 145 per litter

The Federal Government, Wednesday, removed subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, also known as fuel as it will now sell for N145 per litter.
naijagossipinfo
This removal was made on Wednesday, May 11. Until the removal, the official price of petrol was N87 per litre although consumers have been paying as much as N200 for fuel due to scarcity. The removal in fuel subsidy has been a lingering issue since President Muhammadu Buhari took over power. The minister of state for petroleum product, Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu had said that the citizens were not benefitting from the subsidy which made it necessary to be removed. The vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo hinted earlier on Wednesday that Nigeria had reached a point where tough decisions had to be taken. He said: “No matter how we slice it, we are in economic times that are challenging, but they provide us with some of the best opportunities for making a real difference in our economic life. “I think that we are at a point that a lot has been said about subsidies and what to do with subsidies. I think we are at a point where we must make many difficult decisions and make very tough choices. “But I think the Nigerian people are prepared for all what is required and all it would take to make a real difference. “In no way can a country make the kind of progress we expect it to make without being able to ensure that in public life our finance system is transparent and would ensure that there is accountability.”

Why women care about the size of your dick

A new research has shown that penis size does have an influence on how attractive men are to women.

However, the one thing even more important to women than these two factors is actually torso shape.

Researchers basically projected 3D computer-generated images of 343 different men onto a wall to test how variations in torso, height and penis size influenced the perceived ‘attractiveness’ to women.

The 105 young women in the study then gave a rating of one to seven to each of the males in the images.

The scientists behind the study believe comparing variants which are known to influence attractiveness (like torso and height) with flaccid penis size would determine once and for all whether size really matters.

Why women care about the size of your dick

A new research has shown that penis size does have an influence on how attractive men are to women.
However, the one thing even more important to women than these two factors is actually torso shape.
Researchers basically projected 3D computer-generated images of 343 different men onto a wall to test how variations in torso, height and penis size influenced the perceived ‘attractiveness’ to women.
The 105 young women in the study then gave a rating of one to seven to each of the males in the images.
The scientists behind the study believe comparing variants which are known to influence attractiveness (like torso and height) with flaccid penis size would determine once and for all whether size really matters.
The Game
The results were pretty unanimous, with the more well endowed models scoring the higher ratings.
The conclusion also suggests that women indeed prefer larger penises – certainly up to 5.1 inches (13cm) flaccid.
Beyond 2.99 inches (which is considered below average), the extra attractiveness points per length started to wane.
The results suggested that a larger penis helped taller men the most, which maybe has something to do with looking in proportion

BREAKING BUHARIS SIGN'S 2016 BUDGET

BUHARIII

resident Muhammadu Buhari on Friday signed the 2016 Appropriation Bill into law ending weeks of face-off between the National Assembly and the Executive.
BUHARIII
The budget was signed at a brief ceremony held inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja
Those who witnessed the event included Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun; and chairmen of the Appropriation Committees of both chambers of the National AssemblyThe came after the national assembly had unanimously approved the budget estimates of N6.06 trillion from the initial N6.08 trillion and transmitted to the presidency with the highlight, but failed to attached the details. Reacting, the president declined to give his assent, insisting on seeing the details. But the details made available later proved to be incredibly padded, prompting the Executive arm to return the budget for a rework. This unfortunately had taken almost 5 months, causing untold hardship on citizenry. But apparently satisfied with the corrections made on the document, the president on Friday put ink on paper, signing the dotted lines.

Deadly air strike hits Syrian refugee camp in Idlib

naijagossipinfo

An air strike on a camp for internally displaced Syrians near the country's border with Turkey has killed at least 17 people, activists said.

The attack on the camp in Idlib province on Thursday also left dozens of others injured, with a number of those killed children, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from the Turkish city of Gaziantep, said activists were split on whether Russian or Syrian planes were behind the attack.

"Many in the opposition believe that with strikes like this there's proof the government is not serious about the cessation of hostilities,"  Khodr said.

"These people (internally displaced) live close to the Turkish border in search of safety...they think that the closer they are to the border, the safer they are."

Idlib is not part of the partial ceasefire that was announced yesterday after an agreement between the US and Russia.

Aleppo bombardment

The attack is the latest deadly strike on civilians in Syria, with much of the recent focus on the divided city of Aleppo where nearly 300 people were killed in nearly two weeks of air strikes and shelling.
