FFK shares cute pic with his fiancee, Precious, and a cute lil boy
Pres. Buhari says he won't treat people who didn't vote for him equally with those who voted for him
"(Going by election results), constituencies that gave me 97% can not in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5%. I think these are political realities. While, certainly there will be justice for everybody but the people who voted, and made their votes count, they must feel the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair." Watch the video after the cut...
Never-before-seen pictures capture the lives of Peruvian nomads who are untouched by civilization
Never-before-seen
photos have emerged of one of the last the last uncontacted Amazon
tribes who the Peru government is trying to approach after they shot and
killed two men in the chest with a bow and arrow.
For
600 years the Mashco Piro clan – also known as Cujareno people – have
lived in the forest in Peru close to the border with Brazil and had no
contact with the outside world.
But
recently – threatened by 21st century logging, drugs cartels and
tourism – the rarely seen indigenous tribe have broken cover from the
forest to raid villages for food, tools and weapons to hunt.
In May, Leonardo Perez, 20, was killed when he was shot with an arrow by tribe members who wanted his tools.
In 2011 local guide Shaco Flores (pictured above), a Matsigenka Indian, was murdered by the tribe.
Shaco had given them machetes, pots and pans for 20 years and had developed a good relationship with the clan.
But
it is believed he was killed with an arrow to the heart after he tried
to persuade them to settle and end to their nomadic hunter-gatherer
life.
‘The
Mashco Piro have been present in this area for as long as anyone can
remember, and have in a way been enticed out of their forest home onto
the riverbanks by missionaries and other missionised indigenous people,’
Rebecca Spooner for campaign group International Survival told
MailOnline.
‘They have been given pots and land and machetes, and are now asking for more.’
The
increasing contact between the Mashco Piro people and other indigenous
communities is slowly peeling back the layers of secrecy that have
shielded them from modern society.
Members
of the tribe have been spotted a record 100 times already this year,
Peru's deputy culture minister Patricia Balbuena said.
While others have even left the forest and now live among the neighbouring Yine Indians, who speak a similar language.

Buhari will not probe Obasanjo, IBB, Abacha's govt, only GEJ's - Presidency

CBN Governor Emefiele Runs Back to Nigeria after Buhari Lambasted Him Openly
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has
hurriedly abandoned his role in the delegation of President Muhammad
Buhari in the US following a public admonishing he got.
A Presidency source told SR that Mr. Emefiele asked to see President
Buhari and then requested to leave for an “important” meeting in London.
The President is said to have granted the request.
On Monday, the president had warned his aides against smuggling Nigerian
businessmen into meetings during his visit. But Emefiele disobeyed that
order.
And later that evening, Buhari openly lambasted the CBN governor for
smuggling the former Managing Director of Zenith bank, Jim Ovia, into a
dinner organized by the US Chamber of Commerce.
Presidency sources said the CBN governor’s request to leave Washington
DC came as a surprise, as he had not previously informed President
Buhari of any other meeting he had to attend, especially one that would
deprive the President of a prominent member of his delegation.
It is unclear as of the time of publishing this report if Jim Ovia, who
was the beneficiary of Mr. Emefiele’s efforts, has also left the United
States out of embarrassment.
