You Need To Explain To Nigerians Why Boko Haram Attacks Are On The Rise In The North Daily-Embittered Yobe State Governor Challenges President Jonathan

Late students who lost their lives in the explosion yesterday

Moved by the killing of 48 students by a suicide bomber, in Postiskum yesterday morning, a heart-broken Governor Ibrahim Gaidam on Monday asked President Goodluck Jonathan to explain to the people why insurgents were having a field day in the state despite the imposition of emergency rule.
He said the Federal Government must take action instead of indulging in the condemnation of such dastardly attacks.
The governor spoke in a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Press Affairs and Information, Abdullahi Bego.
It was the first time the quiet governor will bare his mind in a distraught manner.
Read the statement after the cut:

The statement said:

 “This morning, our state woke up to a very sad and heart-breaking news of a bomb attack on our young students at Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum, in which no fewer than 35 students were killed and many more injured.

“The thoughts of His Excellency, Governor Ibrahim Gaidam and his prayers are with the parents, teachers and families of the innocent victims of this callous and reprehensible attack.

“The governor is heartbroken and words cannot adequately convey the extent of his remorse and sadness.

“The governor has noted that this is the fifth time in a little over one year when our schools in Yobe State were brutally attacked and students killed. There was Government Secondary School, Damaturu; Government Secondary School Mamudo; College of Agriculture, Gujba; Federal Government College, Buni-Yadi; and now Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum.

“Governor Gaidam deeply regrets that all of these dastardly attacks took place under a climate of Emergency Rule declared in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa States by President Goodluck Jonathan.

“In theory, the Emergency Rule Declaration was a signal that more vigorous steps would be taken to protect the lives and property of people in the affected states and deploy the full might of the federal government to restore peace and security.

“Unfortunately, this has not been fully the case. Instead of forcing insurgents and criminals to flee, the insurgents are forcing innocent people to flee and making life miserable for everyone.

“Governor Gaidam believes that President Goodluck Jonathan has a very urgent responsibility to explain to the people of Yobe State and people all across the affected states why murderous and callous insurgent and criminal attacks are still on the rise despite the State of Emergency.”

The governor demanded immediate action by the federal government to stem the tide of bombings in the state.

Gigantomastia? This Unbelievably BUSTY Woman Whose Breasts Weighed 7kg Each Almost Died From The Condition(Photos)

This article is a huge eye opener especially for Ladies. PLEASE take time and read carefully below.

A sharp pain surging across her chest, an ache creeping up her neck, causing a debilitating migraine.
Kerisha Mark, from Beaumont, Texas, feared they were the symptoms of a heart attack or brain tumour.
But the then 39-year-old was not at risk of either life-threatening conditions.
Instead doctors told her the pain was the result of her breasts and a rare condition, gigantomastia.Ms Mark had always had an exceptionally large chest.
But by her late 30s, her bust had grown to a staggering 36NNN.
The rapid growth was the result of the hormonal condition.

Gigantomastia is diagnosed when breast weight exceeds three per cent of a person's body weight.

The enlargement can cause muscle pain, and over-stretching of the skin envelope, which can lead to ulceration.

Dr Franklin Rose from Houston, Texas, said in his 35-year career he has not seen a patient with a larger bust

The condition usually affects one breast more than the other, causing asymmetry.

It is thought the underlying cause of the condition is a heightened sensitivity to female hormones prolactin, oestrogen and progesterone.

For Ms Mark the condition resulted in pulled chest muscles, severe back pain and emotional distress, the Washington Post reported. 

'I could not run or jump or work out at all,'she said.

'I was very limited in a lot of things I could do.'

She estimated her breasts weighed around 15lbs (7kg) each, and said she had been forced to use duct tape to hold them in place.

Having considered surgery as an option for years, Ms Mark made the decision to mark her 40th birthday by having treatment. 

Dr Franklin Rose, a plastic surgeon based in Houston, performed the operation. 

He told The Post he could not remember seeing a patient with larger breasts in his 35-year career.

He said: 'The breasts really hung down to her hips and were essentially like carrying around three basketballs at all times because they were so large.

'

Dr Rose said he recruited a colleague to help with the four-hour operation, where he removed 15lbs of breast tissue.

They were able to leave Ms Mark with a 'nice full' DD cup bust.

He said if her condition had been left untreated it could have developed into degenerative kyphosis, a condition causing a person's spine to curve forward, forming a hump or hunchback.  

More than a month after her surgery — which, she said, was covered by insurance — Mark said she's feeling much better and that her symptoms have disappeared. In addition to losing weight from her breast reduction, she's dropped another 10 pounds in recent weeks.
She is also  excited at the prospect of a new wardrobe. 

'The first time my best friend saw me, she cried,' Kerisha said. 'When I stood up for the first time I felt so light.'

And when the operation was complete, she said she was overcome by emotions she hadn't expected. 

'After I got home I did cry. It was like I mourned the death of them, it was like a divorce.'

But today the 40-year-old is looking forward to a pain-free future. 

'My first thing on the agenda is to purchase a beautiful bra and second is to buy a strapless dress,' she added.

WHAT IS GIGANTOMASTIA?

Gigantomastia is diagnosed when breast weight exceeds three per cent of a person's body weight.

The enlargement can cause muscle pain, and over-stretching of the skin, which can lead to ulceration.

The condition usually affects one breast more than the other, causing asymmetry.

It is thought the underlying cause of the condition is a heightened sensitivity to female hormones prolactin, oestrogen and progesterone.

Ms Mark said the operation has changed her life, allowing her to start exercising again and treat herself to a new wardrobe. She said: 'When I stood up for the first time I felt so light'

The consequences of having large breasts can be devastating, ranging from crippling back pain, neck and arm pain to headaches, friction rash and a curvature of the spine.

Embarrassment can deter women from exercising, leaving them prone to health problems linked to obesity, including diabetes and heart disease.

A study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2012 found that a woman with very large breasts can lose five years off her expected lifespan if she does not have a reduction.  

Professor Laurence Kirwan is a plastic surgeon who performed a breast reduction on TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson after her breast size soared from a D-cup to an L-cup after having four children.

Far from being merely cosmetic, Professor Kirwan said a large breast can weigh as much as 3.3lb and removing as little as half a pound can dramatically relieve the symptoms.

But he points out that the issue is often not taken seriously, particularly as large breasts are seen as desirable. ‘It’s wrong for NHS trusts and insurance companies to dismiss this as vanity,’ he says.

‘Many of the women who come to me desperate for breast reductions have poor posture and are in a great deal of pain due to the drag on their shoulders and neck.’
