It’s a “World Record”! Doctors Extract 232 Teeth from Mouth of 17-Year-Old Indian Boy

After a 7-hour operation, doctors in India have extracted 232 teeth from a 17-year-old boy Ashik Gavai‘s mouth.

He was brought in with a swelling in his right jaw, the head of Mumbai’s JJ Hospital’s dental department Dr Sunanda Dhiware tells the BBC.

Ashik had been suffering for a year and 6 months, and travelled to the city from his village after local doctors could not identify the cause of the problem.

His father was worried that it was cancer, so he brought him to the city.

The doctors who helped extract the teeth, called his condition “very rare” and a “world “record”.

Dr Dhiware told reporters that it was a complex composite odontoma where a single gum forms lots of teeth. It’s a sort of benign tumour.

“At first, we couldn’t cut it out so we had to use the basic chisel and hammer to take it out.

Once we opened it, little pearl-like teeth started coming out, one-by-one. Initially, we were collecting them, they were really like small white pearls. But then we started to get tired. We counted 232 teeth.

According to medical literature available on the condition, it is known to affect the upper jaw and a maximum of 37 teeth have been extracted from the tumour in the past. But in Ashik’s case, the tumour was found deep in the lower jaw and it had hundreds of teeth.” Dr Dhiware said.

The surgery conducted on Monday involved two surgeons and two assistants, and was led by Dr Vandana Thorawade.

Ashik now has 28 teeth

Man Rapes 2 Year Old in Ebonyi, Blames It on “Conji”

A 30-year-old man Inya-Okoro from Afikpo North Local Government area of Ebonyi, has been arrested for raping a 2-year-old girl Favour.

The Sun reports that the suspect allegedly committed the act when little Favour returned from school and was asleep by the corridor of her parent’s home. . Inya-Okoro who also lives in the same building reportedly pounced on her and defiled her.

He was arrested by the Police when the girl’s family alerted officers, and he will be charged to court for prosecution.

Favour has since been taken to the hospital for medical examination and treatment.

The state’s Assistant Superintendent of Police Chris Anyanwu lamented the high rate of rape in the area and urged parents to be careful.

In an interview with Crime Watch, he admitted to the crime and blamed it on his sexual urges
“What happened was that I went to look for job as labourer on the fateful day but could not get any job and I returned home.  As I was washing my cloth, I saw the girl laying down sleeping wearing only pant, I rushed and carried her and have sex with her. It was ‘conji’ that caused it and I don’t have money to go for mature girls.”

The girl’s father told reporters he was in church when the incident happened, and that it was a neighbour who called him to inform him

Adamawa PDP Guber Aspirants Trade Words Over Waiver

J

Anxiety is looming in Adamawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party as two party chieftains, Buba Marwa and Dr. Umar Ardo, are engaged in a war of words over the issue of waiver in their bid to succeed impeached Governor Murtala Nyako.
Dr. Umar Ardo has earlier flayed Marwas ambition on the platform of the party when the latter indicated interest to join the race for the Dougirei Government House, Yola, calling him a deserter and a prodigal son who fled the party when there was trouble only to come back and indicate interest under its platform after the dust had settled.
Ardo said Marwa can only contest for any elective office on the platform of the party if he spent one year in the party or if he was given waiver, adding that unfortunately for Marwa he does not fulfill any of the two conditions.
But while repudiating Ardos position, Marwa said the issue of waiver had since been taken care of at the partys headquarters due to the fact that the PDP was trying to open its doors to all and sundry with a view to get a credible candidate that will fly its flag in the up -coming election in the state.
Marwa said Ardo was ignorant of the issue of waiver and was just a governorship aspirant, hence he should have find out from the executives of the party before making unfounded statements.
Marwa made these comments in Mubi while addressing delegates drawn from various wards in the five local government areas that constitute the Northern Senatorial District.

BREAKING NEWS: Air Algerie plane carrying 119 passengers missing

 

July 24th, 2014 | SOURCE:Nigerian Eye

An Air Algerie plane with around 120 people on board including French and Spanish nationals went missing Thursday during a flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers, company sources and officials said.
Aviation sources told AFP the aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 leased from Spanish company Swiftair carrying passengers of different nationalities.
Its six-member crew were all Spanish, said Spains airline pilots union Sepla, while Swiftair confirmed the aircraft had gone missing less than an hour after takeoff from Ouagadougou.
Many French nationals were thought to be on board the plane, Frances Transport Minister Frederic Cuvillier said in Paris.
He said after a government meeting that top civil aviation officials were holding an emergency meeting and a crisis cell had been set up.
Earlier reports had said the plane was a DC-9.
The plane disappeared at Gao (in Mali), 500 kilometres (300 miles) from the Algerian border. Several nationalities are among the victims, Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal was cited as saying by Algerian radio.
The Air Algerie source earlier said contact was lost while the airliner was still in Malian airspace and approaching the border with Algeria.
Despite international military intervention still under way, the situation remains unstable in northern Mali, which was seized by jihadist groups for several months in 2012.
On July 17, the Bamako government and armed groups from northern Mali launched tough talks in Algiers aimed at securing an elusive peace deal, and with parts of the country still mired in conflict.
- Contact lost -
The plane was not far from the Algerian frontier when the crew was asked to make a detour because of poor visibility and to prevent the risk of collision with another aircraft on the Algiers-Bamako route, the airline source said.
Contact was lost after the change of course.
The carrier, in a statement carried by national news agency APS, said it initiated an emergency plan in the search for flight AH5017, which flies the four-hour passenger route four times a week.
One of Algerias worst air disasters occurred in February this year, when a C-130 military aircraft carrying 78 people crashed in poor weather in the mountainous northeast, killing more than 70 people.
The plane was flying from the desert garrison town of Tamanrasset in Algerias deep south to Constantine, 320 kilometres (200 miles) east of Algiers.
Tamanrasset was the site of the countrys worst ever civilian air disaster, in March 2003.
In that accident, all but one of 103 people on board were killed when an Air Algerie passenger plane crashed on takeoff after one of its engines caught fire.
The sole survivor, a young Algerian soldier, was critically injured.
In December 2012, two Algerian military jets on a routine training mission collided in mid-air near Tlemcen in the northwest, killing both pilots.
A month earlier, a twin-turboprop CASA C-295 military transport aircraft, which was carrying a cargo of paper for the printing of banknotes in Algeria, crashed in southern France.
The five soldiers and one central bank representative on board were all killed.

Nyako: APC, Tinubu Lost Focus After Losing Ekiti Presidency

Home/News/Politics/ Jul 21, 2014 | Leave a comment
The Presidency yesterday ascribed the accusations by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leader, Bola Tinubu, against President Goodluck Jonathan over the travails of former Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako, to a loss of focus caused by their defeat in the Ekiti State governorship election last June.
Political adviser to the president, Prof Rufai Ahmed Alkali, who responded to the allegation over Nyakos removal, also said APC will continue to lose elections because its leaders have failed to accept the principle of popular democracy where the electorate have the right to choose who should lead them.
APC leader, Bola Tinubu, had accused President Goodluck Jonathan of orchestrating the impeachment of the former governor of Adamawa State.
However, Alkali noted that it is absurd for any political party that wants to win the presidencial election to denigrate the same office that it wants to occupy.
The political aide said it is pathetic that Tinubu, who contributed immensely to the struggle for a return to democratic governance, has joined the league of those engaged in acts that are likely to truncate the same institution he fought for.
He said It is very strange for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, someone who has led government before, someone who has been in the forefront of advancing democracy for many years, to descend so low as to cast aspersions on the President of this country on issues he cannot defend.
It appears to me that since the Ekiti election, which PDP decisively won, Tinubu and APC leaders have lost their focus. This is democracy, it gives everybody the right to speak; but in doing so, you should not undermine institutions of governance, the same institution you are aspiring to take over and manage.
Recently, the Adamawa State House of Assembly impeached their governor and even as that happened, the APC was up in arms, that it was Mr. President that impeached the governor of Adamawa State.
Why should he do that and how can he do that? Are you saying the 24 or 25 members of the House of Assembly are not in control of their constituencies, that there are no leaders or stakeholders in Adamawa State who worked for or with former Governor Nyako who could have stopped the impeachment.
PDP has lost a lot to opposition political parties. I have said this repeatedly either at the court or more recently through defection, yet PDP stood firm and said let us continue to build on what we have and move forward.
After losing Ekiti, the story has changed. It is time for them to tell one another the home truth. If they are prepared to govern this country, then they must be prepared also to accept the principle of popular democracy that the people of this country would want to choose who should lead them and if they dont, cant or fail to convince people, they must also be ready to admit failure.
He noted that no matter the grandstanding by the APC ahead of the Osun state governorship election, the people of Osun state will triumph, just as he expressed confidence that our candidate Senator Iyiola Omisore is a man of the people.

Atiku blasts PDP: ‘Stop deceiving Nigerians

July 21st, 2014 | 

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government against the dangerous tactics of polarising the country along fault lines as a means of diverting the attention of Nigerians from its inept and apathetic posture to corruption and insecurity.
Reacting to a report in a weekly paper which alleges that a former Russian spy had linked the All Progressives Congress to terrorists and extremists, the former Vice President said in a statement in Abuja on Sunday that these sponsored allegations by the PDP administration would not help the country.
He said no responsible government should seek to create division, suspicion and animosity among its citizens by linking the opposition leaders with terrorist activities or accusing them of harbouring extremists.
According to Atiku, the PDP has officially and publicly, through its National Publicity Secretary, labelled APC the Islamic Brotherhood Party of Nigeria and the Janjaweed Party.
These nomenclatures, he said, were borrowed from abroad and did not, in any way or form, existed in Nigeria.
He said the latest publication about a so-called former Russian spy was a continuation of the PDP campaign of calumny against the opposition party and its leaders in order to divert attention from the epic failures of the ruling party to deliver the goods.
The former Vice President noted with concern the tactics of the PDP administration to drive a wedge between the people by using a religious divide-and-rule strategy to get a re-election in 2015.
Atiku restated that the greatest challenges facing Nigeria were insecurity, joblessness, hopelessness, hunger, unemployment, disease and fear of the future and poverty.
The APC is a party for all Nigerians, irrespective of their religious, ethnic or regional identities. Let no one get confused.
The APC is the party to stop the looting of the treasury. We will thoroughly investigate and uncover the alleged missing $50bn stolen from the sale of crude oil.
We are going to stop the government-backed theft of crude oil, which swings between the daily averages of 100,000 to 300,000 barrels a day. The APC is the party to create jobs and end joblessness.
He explained that these problems affect all ordinary Nigerians, regardless of their religion or ethnicity or section of the country they come from.
The former Vice President maintained that the PDP tactics of divide and rule was a reflection of desperation because the citizens were openly clamouring for change.
Dismissing allegations of harbouring extremists by the opposition as utter rubbish and sheer fabrication, the former vice president said the PDP administration should attend to serious national problems crying for attention.
