Oscar Pistorius to be sentenced for murder in June, faces minimum of 15 years

Former Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius will face sentencing for murder of former girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in June, 2016. The 29-year-old athlete was denied the right to appeal against his murder conviction for the killing of Reeva Steenkamp by South Africa's highest court.

He faces a minimum of 15 years in jail and is on bail until his sentencing, due to take place between 13 - 17 June.

He was released in October 2015 after serving less than a year of his original five-year sentence. Pistorius' manslaughter conviction for shooting dead Ms Steenkamp was upgraded to murder by an appeals court in December, 2015.

The judges said he should have known that death was inevitable after he fired four times into the toilet, leaving Ms Steenkamp with "nowhere to hide".

It ruled that the original trial judge had made a "fundamentally flawed" judgement. They also accused the appeals court of "making errors of law" and incorrectly applying the legal concept of 'dolus eventualis' - awareness of the likely outcome of one's actions.

New report claims NNPC failed to remit $4.2bn under Buhari Govt

According to Daily Trust, a new report released by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) yesterday March 31st claims that NNPC under the Buhari led administration has failed to remit $4.2 million into the Federation account. Read the report below ...
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) continues to withhold billions of dollars in oil sale revenues from the treasury under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, a new report said. The report released yesterday by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) said in the second half of 2015, NNPC’s sales of export crude, domestic crude and oil from its subsidiary the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) totaled $6.3 billion. Of this amount, only $2.1 billion entered the Federation Account while $4.2 billion (N827.4 billion) was not remitted, representing 66 percent of proceeds from crude oil sales for the six months, according to the NRGI report titled “NNPC Still Holds Blank Check”.

"This was 14 percent more than the corporation’s withholdings under Goodluck Jonathan in the first half of 2015, and 12 percent higher than the share withheld in 2013 and 2014,” the report, authored by Aaron Sayne and Alexandra Gillies, said. The latest report, which is a follow up to a previous one by NRGI in 2015, themed “Inside NNPC Oil Sales: A Case for Reform,” however said some of NNPC’s withholdings cover known costs, notably its share of joint venture operating expenses.

“The corporation has not fully explained others; especially revenues retained from domestic crude and NPDC sales,” it said. The report said that NNPC spending raises questions about fiscal responsibility–especially at a time when public finances are stretched and the federal government is looking to fund more of its budget with debt. Makeshift practices remain While acknowledging some of the ongoing reforms instituted by the Buhari administration in the oil sector, the report said the plans have not yet addressed how NNPC retains revenues.

On how NNPC sells the country’s oil in two streams-export sales to foreign buyers and domestic crude allocation, the report said, “This simple two-part system has broken down, however. As NNPC’s financial debts and operational problems have deepened, it has introduced more types of ad hoc oil sale transactions to work around these challenges.”

The NRGI report, which tried to unravel where the $4.2 billion of NNPC oil sales that didn’t enter the federation account went to, found that some of the money went to pay JV cash call liabilities, rather than entering the government budget while some others were spent in an unknown manner.

“In one especially questionable case, we found evidence that NNPC has retained all earnings from the offshore Oil Mining Lease (OML) 119, a field owned wholly by NPDC that produces around 30,000 barrels per day of Okono grade crude,” the report said. The report recommended that the Buhari government should establish a clear, legally enforceable rule governing which revenues NNPC can keep and how they can be spent. It also advised the government to move to curb the corporation’s discretionary, unaccountable use of much-needed public funds.

When contacted for comments, the NNPC said it was preparing a response to the NRGI report. But the response did not come at the time of going to press. Daily Trust reports that the Auditor-General of Federation recently reported that the NNPC failed to remit N3.2tr ($16bn) in oil revenues to the federation account in 2014.

A week later, the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) put the amount not remitted by the NNPC between 2011 and 2015 at N4.9tr ($25 bn). NNPC disputed the auditor-general’s claims by putting out a third set of figures, saying what it owed the Federation Account was N326bn which is still being reconciled. NNPC has also promised that a forensic audit, due soon, would validate its position.

Don't join the statistic! Discover 7 major causes of low sperm count in men

MEDICAL


Low sperm count and infertility in men is more prevalent than most couples think. People tend to think that if a woman is not getting pregnant the fertility issue must be with the woman, but that is not necessarily always the case. There is an equal chance that male factor infertility can be the cause of a couple’s difficulty in achieving pregnancy. While women have many tests to try to find out the cause of infertility, men have only a couple, the sperm analysis being the easiest.

Weight

Obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting sperm and by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility
Radio frequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) 

A study performed in 2011 (Fert. Ster. 1/2012) showed that RF-EMWs emitted from devices connected to Wi-Fi (wireless internet) decrease sperm motility, while increasing sperm DNA fragmentation. Men should avoid using laptop computers running on a Wi-Fi connection directly on their lap. In addition, be sure to avoid carrying a smart phone in your front pocket.

Cigarette smoking 

Smoking damages the sperm Period. The good news is the damage done from smoking can be reversed… As long as you quit smoking.

Pesticides and hormones in foods 

The pesticides found on produce and the hormones added to dairy and meat have a HUGE effect on a man’s hormonal balance. Pesticides mimic estrogens in the body while the added hormones in meat and dairy are actual hormones (like estrogen) you do not want in your system.

Alcohol 

In a study of men with poor sperm quality, excessive alcohol consumption was associated with a decrease in the number of normal sperm.

Hyperthermia (overheating) 

The testicles need to keep the sperm at a healthy temperature (which is less than the body’s temperature). It is thought that this may be in part why the male reproductive organs are external. Heat is known to damage sperm, so it may be best to avoid repeated exposure to activities that may elevate the temperature of the testicles. Examples are frequent use of saunas or hot tubs. In addition, tight underwear like briefs can keep the testicles from being able to hang and regulate their temperature. Boxers could be an alternative to briefs.

Stress 

Stress can have a big impact on hormone balance which can in turn have an effect on sperm production.
Diet has a big impact on sperm health and male fertility,For more information on the best food to eat to improve the sperm count. Visit your Doctor
