O’Neill Former Chairman of Goldman Sachs Says Jonathan Election Loss May Be Nigeria Positive

Goldman Sachs Asset Management Former Chairman Jim O'Neill said, “If Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan doesn’t get re-elected, and its because of Nigerian people wanting something different and something better, I think the markets would be happy with that.”

A loss by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in general elections next month may be viewed “positively” by foreign investors and probably won’t rattle markets, according to Jim O’Neill, former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

While Jonathan, 57, has presided over the sale of the nation’s mismanaged power utilities to private investors, his economic policies in the last four years “could have been better,” O’Neill said in a Jan. 7 interview in the capital, Abuja. Firing central bank Governor Lamido Sanusi last year, who brought “a lot of credibility” to the government, sent out a negative signal, he said.

Soldiers protecting the town, which has a population of 10,000 fled on Saturday after militants attacked the town's military base.

Mike Omeri, who speaks on national security, said security forces had been 'actively pursuing the militants' since the first attack and after the second.

'Security forces have responded rapidly and have deployed significant military assets and conducted airstrikes against militant targets,' Omeri told reporters in Abuja.

Boko Haram has been waging a five-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria.

This Chicken Is Totally Black from Head to Toe. Even the Meat, Bones, and Organs Are Black! [Photos+Video]

Get ready to see the most awesome chicken ever. This rare breed is completely black, from head to toe. There are a lot of rumors and misconceptions about this chicken. But once you learn about it, you’ll definitely want to share this with your friends.

Black is not an uncommon colour in the animal world; bears are black, gorillas are black, there are breeds of dogs and cats that are black. But this Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes black into an entirely different realm. The black colour of Ayam Cemani is not limited to its feathers – the colour is all over and even on the inside. Everything about this chicken is black – skin, beak, plume, tongue, legs, toe nails, its meat, bones, and organs. Even the bone marrow is black. Would you eat it?

The breed originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. It was first imported into Europe in 1998 by Dutch breeder Jan Steverink. Currently stocks are kept in the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. There are several varieties of the Ayam Cemani including the Swedish Black Chicken. It is thought that Ayam Cemani may also earlier have been brought to Europe by Dutch seamen who had numerous contacts in both Africa and Asia.

Denise Sumpter's 6-year-old daughter Belle is still breast-feeding and Denise says she'll continue do to so until Belle decides it's time to stop.

"I'll feed Belle as long as she asks," the 44-year-old mother told Daily Mail.

Belle doesn't rely solely on Denise's milk anymore. The little girl nurses anywhere from twice a day to once a week. Sometimes she'll join her 18-month-old brother, Beau in a feeding. Other times she'll latch one when she's looking for some one-on-one time with her mother.

According to him, the shrine for which he was arrested and arraigned came into existence in January this year with the procurement of acre of land from one traditional chief in Ile-Ife inside the thick forest of Mobarajo. The traditional chief in his confession later became one of the influential personalities that assisted him in bringing customers from Lagos, Kaduna and other parts of the country.

"They made their way through the machine, getting boiled and treated. A few minutes later I took a long taste of the end result: a glass of delicious drinking water."

The jarring juxtaposition is intentional. Gates intends to get the word out to the masses about the machine, which is part of a Gates Foundation effort to improve sanitation in poor countries.
