Nigerian-arraigned-in-US-for-aiding-al-Qaeda-360x225

Lawal Babafemi, also known as  “Ayatollah Mustafa,” a Nigerian terror suspect was arraigned before a United States Federal Courtroom on Friday{27-09-2013} based on accusation for trying to help Al-Qaeda in Yemen. Babafemi was accused of training with members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, recruits people who speaks English to engage in acts of terror against Americans and using his English skills to help publish the terrorist magazine “Inspire.”
 
NBCnewyork.com reports that Judge John Gleason ordered Babafemi, also known as “Ayatollah Mustafa,” who is married with children in Nigeria to be held without an option for bail. No objection was made or plea entered by the Attorney of the accused but he told the judge Babafemi suffers from high blood pressure and asked that he receive medication when he gets to the Metropolitan Detention Center.
 
The FBI said Anwar al-Awlaki, the American cleric who became the Al-Qeada commander in the Arabian Peninsula and was killed in a US drone strike, personally directed $9,000 be paid to Babafemi to assist in his recruitment efforts.

Also reported: Babafemi was active with Al-Qaeda operatives from 2010 to 2011 until he was arrested for crimes in Nigeria and then turned over to FBI agents to be prosecuted for his alleged terrorist activity.

    Northern Nigerians are being accused of terrorism. Is a Babafemi also of northern Nigerian origin?

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises”  says Dr. Fi
