US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says the recent string of suspected terror attacks across the US shows that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton can’t keep American people safe.

On Saturday, nearly 40 people were injured as a result of two blasts in New York and New jersey as well as a stabbing spree at a mall in Minnesota.

Trump took to his Twitter account on Monday and blamed the former secretary of state and President Barack Obama for the security challenges the America faces today.

“Saturday’s attacks show that failed Obama/Hillary Clinton polices won’t keep us safe! I will Make America Safe Again!” Trump said in one tweet.

“Under the leadership of Obama & Clinton, Americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. Time to change the playbook!” the New York businessman wrote in another post.

All States Are Safe, FG Tells U.S.

The Federal Government yesterday said every state in the country is safe, contrary to a report by the United States.

Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this in Abuja when he received in audience a delegation from the Association of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria (ATPN).

Mohammed said the advisory published by the U.S., which was awash in national dailies declaring 20 Nigerian states “unsafe and completely no go area”, was not correct.

The minister admonished the media to desist from propagating negative news about the country, stressing that it would discourage investors and be counter productive to tourism growth.

“Recently, all the newspapers carried the negative story that 20 states in Nigeria are not safe, according to a U.S. report.

“We are in Nigeria, how can we believe the claim that 20 states in Nigeria are not safe.

“That is not correct. There is no state in Nigeria that is not safe today.

“Is there any week they are not killing people in the U.S. by either shooting in schools or driveways or people committing suicide or mass bombing.

“How many of these stories do their media celebrate?

“If they want to tell their people not to come to Nigeria, it is not for us to help them propagate it,” he said.

The minister urged the media and members of the association to complement efforts of government to reposition the tourism sector.

The Federal government on Tuesday lamented that the massive looting of public funds perpetrated by some officials of government under the immediate past administration is seriously affecting the operations of government, just as it assured that no stone will be left unturned in ensuring the safe return of the Chibok girls. Consequently, the government has vowed that nobody, among those who contributed to the present mess that Nigeria currently finds herself, will go unpunished.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this on Tuesday at a press conference in Abuja. The Minister equally said that the government is seriously concerned about the safe return of the over 200 secondary school girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State over 600 days ago. Alhaji Mohammed thus assured that no stone will be left unturned by the soldiers in the North Eastern part of the country to ensure that the kidnapped girls are rescued and returned safely to their people. According to him, “the military is leaving no stone unturned to get them (the Chibok girls).

The government is very concerned about the safe return of the Chibok girls. There are so many things that the soldiers are doing underground that cannot be exposed to the public. For security reason, we can not disclose certain information. On the issue of the ongoing agitation for Biafra Republic by some people in the South Eastern part of the country, Alhaji Mohammed pointed out that the Federal government was doing everything to tame the agitation. The Minister added however that such agitation has to be subtle.

Plateau State Secure, Safe For Investment- Lalong

The Governor of Plateau State, Mr. Simon Lalong, on Thursday said the people of the state now enjoy peace, having successfully overcome the security challenge that bedevilled it.

He said the state government will do everything possible to push for the reactivation of the Inland Dry Container Port being executed by the federal government in Jos, the state capital.

Lalong, who made the statements during a working visit to the management of the Nigerian Shippers Council in Abuja, said that contrary to fears created in the minds of people about the security situation in the Plateau, the entire state now enjoys relative peace and order.

He said Plateau state is about 80% peaceful.

“Apart from the issue of cattle rustling that is also rampant in other parts of the north, the state is now enjoying a peaceful atmosphere, which is good for business. I must say that we have received a lot of cooperation from Mr. President, because anything we ask in terms of security, we always get. So, for now we have a very peaceful atmosphere for people to invest,” he said.

He expressed the hope that as soon as the Inland Dry Port project is completed, actual export and import business will boom  in the Plateau.

He said having been informed of the reasons why the project was kept on hold, his administration would take immediate measures to reactivate it.

“I am personally interested because he said the idea of the ICD was mooted when I was the Speaker of the House of Assembly but was disappointed the project has been abandoned,” he said.

New Recommendations Say No Amount Of Alcohol Is Safe During Pregnancy

Posted on by

For anyone who’s ever wondered whether it’s safe for pregnant women to have a sip or two of wine every now and then, the medical gods have spoken: A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says pregnant women should put the glass down, pour the wine out, and cork that bottle until the baby arrives.

The warning goes for beer and liquor drinkers too. If it gives you a buzz, it can harm a fetus, according to the report, which says any amount of booze can contribute to 100 percent preventable birth defects and developmental disabilities that could last for life. If you’re all like, “Who would drink while they’re pregnant?!” here’s some sobering news: A recent survey found that 1 in 10 pregnant women say they imbibe, and a third of that subset binge-drink (i.e., throw back more than four drinks in quick succession). As you might expect, the more you drink, the more damage you can do — but the AAP’s stance is crystal clear: No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. Not a drop!

 An AAP statement suggests that drinking during your first and second trimester can raise your baby’s risk of developing fetal alcohol development syndrome by a crazy-high 61 percent — which means the absolute worst time to drink is early in your pregnancy. Because it can take a few weeks to find out you’re pregnant in the first place, the stat is pretty scary — much scarier than the prospect of sticking to water until your water breaks. Which is a pretty small price to pay for a *~pErFeCt~* baby — no matter how many weddings you’ll have to attend sober between conception and your due date.
