WhatsApp INTRODUCES NEW PRIVACY SETTING THAT LET YOU STOP PEOPLE FROM ADDING YOU ANNOYING GROUPS WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION

Relief has arrived, in the form of a new WhatsApp privacy setting that lets you control who can add you to message groups without your permission.

The updated settings were first rolled out to Android and iOS WhatsApp users worldwide on Sunday November 3, 2019. 

The new privacy settings can be enabled from within the settings page of the app itself, under the 'Account' > 'Privacy' > 'Groups' sections.

The menu provides three options for allowing group chat invitations — from 'Everyone', 'My Contacts' or 'My Contacts Except'.

'In those cases, an admin who can’t add you to a group will be prompted to send a private invite through an individual chat, giving you the choice of joining the group,' WhatsApp explained.

'You'll have three days to accept the invite before it expires.'

Thi setting replaced the 'Nobody' option included in the original version of the update, based on user feedback calling for more control over the blocks.

Group chat haters, however, can replicate the 'Nobody' configuration by picking 'My Contacts Except' and then using the 'Select All' option.

WARNING MEN! 10 Sure Signs The Girl You Like Is Just Using You

#1 She wants her space… a lot!

Are you dating a girl who clings to you for a few days, and then completely ignores you for the next few days? 

While playing hard to get may excite a guy, this is pushing the game too far.

Every time she ignores you or pushes you away, you may find yourself falling more madly in love with her. On the other hand, she’s probably interested in a few other guys or sleeping with them, just to work out her options. When a girl claims to love a guy, and yet avoids the guy completely for a few days every now and then, there’s a good chance there’s another guy in her life.

#2 Behaves like a friend

Does your new girlfriend behave like a friend now and then? She hugs you and cuddles you, and then pushes you away and tells you it’s all happening too fast and she’s not ready for it? 

Ouch, any girl who behaves like a girlfriend but prefers to stay friends is obviously using your love and affection to feel better about herself.

#3 Her friends don’t know you

When a girl uses you, there’s a good chance you’re never going to meet any of her friends. But if you both do bump into a good friend of hers, does her friend even realize who you are?

And if you see her with a group of her friends and not one person recognizes your name, you’re in serious trouble of being played into a game of I’ll-suck-the-life-outta-you.

#4 You’re not introduced as a boyfriend

This is a no brainer here. But it’s something most guys in love almost always forgive and forget. Have you ever been introduced as just a friend? If she’s convinced that you’re the man in her life, she’d proudly display you like a primped up puppy in a dog show. But if she’s just using you, there’s a very good chance that you relationship status will remain as friends.

#5 She’s confused about your relationship status

Now she may be genuinely confused about the kind of relationship both of you share, especially if she’s just broken up with her guy or is still in a relationship with some other guy. But the point is she’s confused.

If she truly does love you, there’s nothing to be confused about unless she’s still in love with another guy. If that’s the case, you’re not the winner here. You’re the scapegoat filling up the blanks when her boyfriend or another guy doesn’t have the time for her.

#6 She talks about her complicated love life

Do you spend more time consoling her or telling her how the mistakes in her life aren’t really her fault? Girls who end up using guys are confused women who want to be reassured and loved all the time. She may be losing the love of her own guy, and may want you to reassure her about her own relationship and fill her life with happiness and extravagant gifts.

And yes, she wouldn’t mind cuddling up with you once in a while for all the nice things you’ve been doing for her. This is seriously messed up!

#7 She makes out but only when she wants to

You may sweet talk her and take her out to expensive dinners, all in the hope of getting some love and appreciation back from her. And of course, a little bit of making out too.

But if you’re in love with a girl who’s using you, nothing really matters. She’d let you dance on hot coals almost all the time and make out with you only when she feels like it. She initiates it and she ends it, at her whims.

Her excuse: I’m still confused about my feelings for you/for my own boyfriend/the three other guys in my life.

#8 She dominates the relationship

Does she call you up whenever she feels like it, or asks you to meet her at her whims and fancies? A girl who throws her weight around a guy knows she’s already got him wrapped around her little finger. Don’t ever be that guy. You’d end up shattered almost all the time and you’d lose all the confidence you have.

Turn the table around and throw her around a bit. Two things can happen here. She’d take you more seriously, or she’s walk out of your life. Either ways, it’s a good thing for you.

#9 She wants you to listen, but not the other way around

Are you in love with a girl who loves talking about her own life and her little problems? Does she tell you about how bad her ex boyfriend was and why she had to cheat on him just to show him she has other options? Or does she confess to you about making out with a few other guys and wants you to tell her she’s not wrong and that she did the right thing?

And on the other hand, every time you try telling something to her, does she forget all about it or feign drowsiness?

A girl who only wants to talk and feel good about herself isn’t in love with you. She’s using you as a priest to feel good about her own shortcomings. If she did love you, she’d be more interested to know about you and your life than whining about her own guilty confessions. 

#10 She’s in another relationship

Almost always, relationships where the guy is being used starts off with conversations about complicated love lives. The girl you like may already be in a relationship, and with each conversation you have, both of you may fall more in love with each other. She wants to go out with you, she loves to talk to you, and she can’t wait to spend time and make out with you.

But she doesn’t want to leave her own boyfriend or end her relationship with him. She tells you she’s not happy, but she doesn’t do a thing about it.

If you find yourself experiencing any of these signs that you’re being used, you better walk out of the confusing affair before you end up with a broken heart. After all, she’s probably got a few backups with whom she’s playing the same game anyways.

Another Bloody Clash Between Shiite Protesters And Soldiers In Abuja :Army Blames Sect..

Members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) on Monday clashed with soldiers in Nyanya area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to reports, trouble started when soldiers at a military checkpoint prevented the Shiite procession from entering the capital.

The Movement had said on Twitter that its members were “on their #Arbaeen2018 procession from Mararraba axis” when the troops started shooting at them.
Many of the IMN members were said to have been shot in the incident .

Arbaeen is a Shia Muslim religious observance that occurs forty days after the Day of Ashura, another religious observance mostly celebrated by Shiites.
IMN also posted pictures of its members allegedly shot by the troops. It said the attacks on its members who “peacefully trekking” were unprovoked.
Amnesty International has described the face-off as “disturbing”.

Similarly, Members of the group had on Saturday stormed the Kubwa Expressway in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to demand the release of the group’s leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and to protest the alleged killing of Shiites by the Nigerian Army

   Meanwhile, The Nigerian Army has accused members of the Shiite sect of attacking soldiers and policemen on duty at Kugbo/Karu check point in Abuja on Monday, October 29, 2018.
This was made known in a press release issued on its Facebook page.

The statement reads:
“Troops of the Nigerian Army deployed on routine duty at Kugbo/ Karu bridge checkpoint of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were attacked by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) sect at about 3:00pm on 29th October 2018.

The sect in massive numbers forced their way into the troops checkpoint after over running the Police Force. The Police withdrew back to own troops position to join efforts to repel them.

They fired weapons at our own troops, throwing bottle cannisters with fuel, large stones, catapults with dangerous objects and other dangerous items at troops causing bodily harm and stopping motorist movement, breaking their windscreen and causing heavy traffic.

However, Troops repelled the attack in conjunction with the Nigerian Police Force to stop the situation from further deteriorating.

Unfortunately, during the encounter 3 members of the sect were killed while 4 soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries and are being treated at a military medical facility.

Meanwhile, the situation has been brought under control and normalcy restored in the general area and there is free flow of traffic.

Members of the public living within Abuja and environs are enjoined to go about their normal activities without fear of molestation

The Nigerian Army will not deter in carrying out its constitutional roles and also safeguarding law abiding citizens.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the general public.”

But  according to an eye witness reporter from Pulse, 10 people died during Monday’s clash.

“Corpses of persons suspected to be Shiite members were being packed into trucks and driven away by soldiers. There were dead bodies all over the road. The soldiers started firing live ammunitions at 2pm. As I speak with you, it’s 5pm and the place is still tense with lifeless bodies lying all over the place," she added.

Members of the Shiite sect have been holding processions to pressure the government to release their leader, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who was arrested in 2015.

AND THE GIRL Died... Justice For Ochanya

"It’s a baby girl. She’s calm and beautiful," the midwife said at the safe delivery of the baby girl in an interior village probably 120 kilometers south of River Benue. "Her name should be Eliza," the midwife suggested.
The other midwives laughed as Mrs. Ogbanje smiled amidst pains of child birth
It is not unusual in Idoma land that girls born with the gift of natural beauty are christened Eliza (Short for Elizabeth) after her Majesty the Queen of England. As they grow, the name naturally transforms to Queen which has its translation as Ochanya in Idoma dialect.
At four, Eliza not only showed the endowment of her physical beauty but displayed an aura of bravery and maturity. Every morning she knelt beside her mother to say The Lord’s Prayer and the Catholic Rosary. On many occasions, she assisted her poor mum in the house core. Without coercion, Eliza learnt submission.
One day as she sat in the sand singing village rhymes and reciting Bible lessons taught in the local church, her mum watched her gravely and saw a great woman in her child. “This is our own Onyantu Ifene o," she thought to herself.
The following year, her sister visited from Ugbokolo town to attend the burial ceremony of a relative and she spoke with her.
"My sister, you know that Eliza is my only daughter. I want her to go to school. She is too intelligent to waste in this village. Who knows, if she graduates from school, God can use her to bring school and electricity to this village like Onyantu Ifene did for her village. If it's ok by you, let her come to stay with you in Ugbokolo. Put her in any school you can afford. I will come to see her on every Eke market day when I come to Ajide to sell wares. Whatever amount I can afford, I will bring to support you. God will reward you my sister."
And so with a good heart, Mrs. Ogbuja resolved to take Eliza in.
Quickly, Mrs. Ogbanje called her daughter into their little hut and prayed for her. She took a Roman Catholic chaplet and hung it on get neck. "I will always come to see you on every market day," she assured her daughter.
Excited that she would be starting school in the town, Eliza got her baggage of few cloths and hooped to sit on the laps of her aunt as they boarded a public car to Ugbokolo, a suburb many kilometres away from the village.
The cheerful five years old Eliza was well received into her new home. A few days later, she resumed school. In the classroom she was full of life and always excelling. As each year went by and with promotions and awards to back her academic prowess, she saw her dreams coming true. She hoped to go to the university someday and graduate. She hoped to get a good job and bring school to her village.
One day, at the age of eight, Eliza came to school with a gloomy look. The cheerful face had transmogrified in a handful of hours.
"Ochanya (as her teacher fundly called her), is anything the matter? Did your aunt beat you?"
Eliza simply nodded a "No" but the teacher knew that something was not just right. The afternoon before, after close of school, the eight years old Eliza had been sexually abused by a male cousin who was several years older than her. But she would not tell anybody because her life and dream had been threatened. She bottled her feelings hoping that the ugly incidence would never rear its head again. Every morning and night, she would kneel before her bed with Holy Child Jesus chaplet in her hand asking God to forgive her, and to forgive her evil cousin "for he knows not what he has done." But she was wrong; the evil Victor of a cousin came again and again to  have his way with her. She felt helpless; praying that someone would catches him in the very act someday. And as if God heard her prayer, Abigail, Victor's little sister came home one afternoon and met the unwholesome act. She raised alarm and told her dad. And Eliza thought her freedom had finally come. But again she lied. Mr. Ogbuja started from where he met his son forming a dual force against the helpless girl. Life became miserable for Eliza. Several occasions when her mum visited, she had tried to voice it but the fear of losing her life and her cherished dream held her back.
And so the evil persevered until Eliza's health began to fail at the age of twelve. She was taken to the local hospital in Ugbokolo but nothing was diagnosed. The nurse gave her some malaria drugs and some sedatives. She was relieved briefly but the illness resurfaced. After several visits to several hospitals, she was eventually diagnosed to have Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), a disease resulted from the several sexual abuses.
As she laid on her sickbed and watching her esteemed dream dying slowly with her, she took her chaplet and prayed that God would forgive Victor and uncle Ogbuja "for they know not what they had done to me and my dream." She also prayed that God would raise another “Onyantu Ifene” that would bring school and electricity to her village.
As evening drew nigh, as the sun stooped to set, as birds returned to roost, Queen Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje placed her chaplet on her chest, closed her eyes and in pains bade the world goodbye.
And the girl died.
