Teenager Stabs Mother To Death After Being Scolded For Playing Computer Game For Too Long

A teenage boy allegedly stabbed his mother to death on Wednesday after
she had scolded him for playing computer games into the early hours of
the morning, Thailand police has reported.

The boy allegedly stabbed his mother to death while she slept in her
bedroom, and seriously injured his sister who attempted to stop his
crime.

This took place in their Bangkok home at 2a.m after they had argued
about his late-night computer-game playing, Police Major Prayuth
Puengkaeha said.

The mother, Areeya Ketdi, 45, was stabbed about four times by her son
with a knife one-foot long. According to the initial investigation,
the youth was unhappy that his mother had not allowed him to play
computer games and scolded him for not helping with household chores.

Meanwhile, the boy's father and his cousins told police that he had
had autistic syndrome and been cured. However, he had a suppressed
personality and was always scolded by his mother.

He allegedly used to say he would want to kill his mother.
Authorities took the suspect to the Central Juvenile and Family Court
before sending him to another juvenile observation and protection
unit.

Public Health Ministry deputy permanent-secretary, Dr Apichai Mongkol
said the body releases dopamine hormones when a person is addicted to
games, in a similar fashion to being addicted to drugs.

Children at this age still lack emotional control, Dr Apichai said.
When denied what they are addicted to, they may lose control and hurt
others.

28-Years-Old Mother Enters Guinness World Records For Donating 87 GALLONS of Her BREAST MILK!

A 28-year-old woman, Alicia Richman, has been declared the new
Guinness World Record holder for "Most Breast milk Donated.

" Between June 2011 and March 2012, the 28-year-old mother of one
donated 11,115 ounces – or 694 pounds – of breast milk to charity,
according to Guinness. By volume, that's about 87 gallons.

In her testimony, Richman had said that after she gave birth in March
2011, she began pumping and storing her milk, and quickly realized she
was producing much more than her son could consume.

When two freezers were chock full of pumped milk, Richman contacted
the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, a nonprofit that collects
breast milk donations for critically ill and premature infants in
need.

Amy Vickers, executive director of the milk bank, says in a press
release that Richman's donations have fed "hundreds, and more likely,
thousands of premature babies across the United States.

" Richman says she went for the Guinness record because she wanted to
raise awareness for the cause and encourage other women to donate to
milk banks.

In her words, Richman says "I'm so thankful that I'm able to help not
only my own baby, Drake, but all of the little babies who need it and
are sick," Richman told News 8. "It really feels amazing and I'm so
thankful that I'm able to do it."

ANINI: THE MOST FAMOUS ARMED ROBBER THAT EVER LIVED IN NIGERIA

Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini 1960 – March 29, 1987 was a famous Nigerian
bandit who terrorised Benin City in the 1980s along with his sidekick
Monday Osunbor. He was captured and executed for his crimes.

Anini was born in a village about 20 miles from Benin City in present
day Edo State. He migrated to Benin at an early age, learned to drive
and became a skilled taxi driver in a few years.

He became known in Benin motor parks as a man who could control the
varied competing interest among motor park touts and operators.

He later dived into the criminal business in the city and soon became
a driver and transporter for gangs, criminal godfathers and thieves.

Later on, he decided to create his own gang and they started out as
car hijackers, bus robbers and bank thieves. Gradually, he extended
his criminal acts to other towns and cities far north and east of
Benin.

The complicity of the police is believed to have triggered Anini's
reign of terror in 1986. In early 1986, two members of his gang were
tried and prosecuted against an earlier under-the-table bribe induced
agreement with the police to destroy evidence against the gang
members.

The incident, and Anini's view of police betrayal, is believed to have
spurred retaliatory actions by Anini.

On August, 1986, a fatal bank robbery linked to Anini was reported in
which a police officer and a child were killed. That same month, two
officers on duty were shot at a barricade while trying to stop Anini's
car.

During a span of three months, he was known to have killed 9 police
officers. He wrote numerous letters to media houses using political
tones of Robin Hood-like words to describe his criminal acts.

On December 3, 1986, he was caught at a house off the main street of
Benin in the company of six women friends. Anini was shot in the leg,
transferred to a military hospital, and had one of his legs amputated.

The country's military leader, Ibrahim Babangida, demanded a speedy
trial. Anini was convicted of most of his charges and was executed on
March 29, 1987.

Chris Brown : “This Is How I Made It” You’re always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles.

After taking a year off from doing interviews and magazine features,
it seems as though Chris is doing some revamping when it comes to his
image and is ready to finally speak out and tell his story.

He was spotted on the set of an XXL cover shoot recently getting
styled up by Ugo Mozie. His ex-girlfriend Karrueche was also spotted
on set while assisting the style team with pulling together Chris'
various looks.

This past weekend, Chris was featured on MTV's "This Is How I Made It"
series, where he dished on his modest childhood as a choir boy in a
small town of Virgina as well as his rise to superstardom.

He also spoke on the Rihanna drama and how it changed the public's
perception of him completely. While speaking on how much it meant for
him to win his first Grammy, he said:

You're always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles. To have
that [Grammy] achievement and to go through people's whole opinions of
me changing of me — you know.

Having to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal
success back. It's not all the way back. It's one of my most humbling
experiences. I can't hate people for making a judgement on me or
making a decision of liking me or not liking me.

All I can do is try to be better as a person and I'm good with
knowing that everything isn't always gonna be perfect.

During the special, he also dropped these gems of inspiration:

I think people get stuck in what you can't do. Life is what you make
it. Just because somebody says it's this, doesn't mean it's that. Do
what you have to do. That kind of attitude shaped me to be the artist
that I am.

My story, my life, my legacy can hopefully show [people] that once
you're down, that doesn't mean that you're down forever.

You never let up.

Nollywood; Lola Alao replies Bisi Ibidapo-Obe over pregnancy scandal

During an interview with E24 magazine, pregnant actress Bisi Ibidapo
Obe revealed that her colleague, Lola Alao introduced her to the man
she claims is responsible for her
pregnancy, ex Reps member, Dino Melaye, and she also alleged that
Lola, after having introduced her to Dino, started dating the
lawmaker.

Lola Alao has come out to deny Bisi's claim.

What she told City People .. Bisi should leave me out of her pregnancy
mess. How can an adult like her not know who impregnated her?

Is Bisi a small girl, that I Lola, will now carry and give Hon Dino to
date? It is sad that she has dragged him into this mess.

Is she the first actor or actress that Dino will help? Why is she
making a deal out of meeting Dino? Dino has been my friend for years
and was even at my movie premiere several month back where he donated
N10million. I wish to state categorically that I have never dated
Dino, I am not dating him and can never date him because he's like a
brother from
another mother.

It is quite unfortunate that Bisi is scandalizing Dino this way.
Everything smacks of blackmail to me. Maybe she thinks since Dino
donated N10million at my launch , she can
scandalize him and make some money off him. I leave her to her conscience.

DAVID MARK THROWS HIS WEIGHT BEHIND THE CREATION OF IJEBU

The people of Ijebu in Ogun state, yesterday, were thrown into an
upswing mood  when the Senate President, David Mark gave his unalloyed
backing to the creation of Ijebu state.

Mark who was speaking at the 2012 annual Ojude-Oba celebration at
Ijebu-Ode on Sunday, stated that states creation would bring
governance closer to the people.

He said "I have received the delegation from the (Ogun) State who are
the main committee members for creation of Ijebu State. I'm here to
say one thing that I'm fully in support of the creation of Ijebu
State.

"Let me make my point clear: where I stand in politics is never in
doubt. I support the creation of Ijebu State. I support the creation
of (more) states in this country. And the National Assembly must work
towards that.

"When we create states, it is not because we cannot live together but
because we want to bring governance closer and nearer to the people.
"A lot of people desire and deserve to feel a sense of governance in
this country and when we create states, that is what would happen."

in his response, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona
expressed his uttermost gratitude to the senate president for his
support, adding that the creation of Ijebu state is long over due.

He said "It is the only province that existed since 1975 that is yet
to be converted to a state, while other provinces had been divided
into two or more states."

Chairman of Globacom, Mike Adenuga, who is from Ijebu, was singled for
commendation by the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun and the monarch,
for adding many innovations and value to the festival, thereby turning
it to a world-class carnival which has attracted people from across
Nigeria and the rest of the world.

The festival was attended by senators, enthusiasts, captains of
industries, indigenes of Ijebu and other political bigwigs

MAN SUES CHURCH FOR LOSING LEG WHEN CRUCIFIX FELL ON HIM

A cruel twist of fate cost David Jimenez his leg when the crucifix he
prayed to every day when his wife was fighting cancer toppled over and
crushed him.

Mr Jimenez stopped every day to pray to the statue of Jesus on the
cross outside Church of St Patrick in Newburgh, New York.

When his wife, Delia, recovered from the cancer, the 45-year-old
father of two offered to clean the crucifix as an act of faith and a
goodwill gesture.

However, as he scrubbed the heavy marble object it fell off its shaky
pedestal and landed on his leg, the Mid-Hudson News Network reported.

The pizza parlor employee is now suing the church for $3million,
claiming the priest who gave him permission to work on the unstable
statue was negligent.

The injury on Memorial Day in 2010 so badly mangled Mr Jimenez's right
leg that doctors were forced to amputate it just below the knee.

The church told CBS New York that the congregation collected food and
$7,000 in cash donations for Mr Jimenez and his family.

However, Mr Jimenez's lawyer Kevin Kitson said the insurance company
for the diocese had made collecting additional money difficult.

As a result of the legal action, the church has removed the crucifix
from the Church of St Patrick and moved it to another parish.

Mr Kitson said his client, a devout Catholic, still believes it played
a role in his wife's recovery.

'David attributed the cure to his devotion to that cross,' he told CBS
New York.

Nonetheless, the lawyer maintains that the church was negligent.

He said only one screw held the marble statue in place.

That gave way when Mr Jimenez scrubbed the statue, causing it to fall over.

K-Solo rejects wife’s new baby, to marry strange lover

K-Solo and his new lover Bimbo You've probably heard about the drama
circling Nigerian music producer cum singer Solomon Oyeniyi aka
K-Solo, and his now estranged wife Kikelomo. If you haven't, let's
give you a recap.

In June 2012, Kikelomo granted City People Magazine an interview
revealing details of her turbulent relationship with K- Solo.

According to her, the producer had been abusing her since they got
married in November 2011. The couple met on Facebook in April 2011,
but she says the relationship had always been plagued with lies and
infidelity. Despite all this, Kike says when K Solo came begging, she
forgave him and they eventually got married.

But the case worsened, Kike says, as K Solo showed his ugly side
again, asking her to make him a signatory to her company's account and
to sign over all her property to him.

He also continued to physically abuse her, causing her to miscarry.
The marriage finally crashed in February 2012, but not before Kike
published photos of bruised face, allegedly taken while she was with
K- Solo.

Shockingly, the couple reunited in August, granting Channels TV an
interview where they claimed to have been 'just having fun', pulling a
simple prank 'to know who their real friends were.' Critics took the
revelation with a pinch of salt, with people commenting that Kike must
have been put under duress to deny the battery.

'She was worried about her baby, that's what she cares for right now',
a source who knows the couple told us.

Back to the present – Dust has been raised once again as just last
week, K-Solo posted pictures of himself and another woman on his
Facebook account, claiming to be engaged to her.

He has deleted old photos of himself and Kike, replacing them with
photos of him and his new lover, Bimbo, in each other's arms.

So what's happened to Kike and her baby? K-Solo has refused to divulge
any information, telling us 'When it's time, you will all know the
truth and the truth shall set you free.

But for now hang on Google'.

Meanwhile, reports say on Friday, October 26, Kikelomo delivered her
first child, a baby boy. K-Solo has received congratulatory messages
from fans on social networks, Facebook and Twitter but is not
responding to them. Instead, he has released a statement, warning
websites and blogs not to refer to the 'deliverer of the baby as K-
Solo's wife.'

The statement reads; 'We as K-Solo's Management think it's should be
official and professional for all media blogs and sites to confirm
informations of our client tagged name K-SOLO before publishing.

The baby deliverer has a name, and not to be tagged as K-Solo's Wife
in any sort of claims or otherwise. If there is any news of such,
pictures of K-Solo and the Baby will be officially released and will
be delivered rightly.

So for any further readdressing, please do not Tag K-Solo in sure
news till further notice. Thanks. K-Solo's Management.'

It's like a soap opera with no sign of it ending any time soon. K Solo
and estranged wife Kikelomo K-Solo says he knows nothing about Kike's
newly born baby boy…

detectives to Agulu in Anambra State where weapons including three
AK47 rifles, 34 magazines and 914 ammunitions concealed inside a
ceiling were recovered.

Anayo also led the detectives to Obomkpa in Delta State where another
suspect, Prince Bassey and the native doctor's cohorts were
apprehended.

A Toyota Corolla car and a red Golf car allegedly used for kidnapping
operations by the hoodlums were recovered in the possession of the
native doctor.

Also recovered from them, according to the state police command
spokesman, DSP Charles Muka, include one single barrel gun, one
English double barrel gun, one locally made pistol, 25 cartridges,
149mm ammunition and two battle axes. Muka further confirmed the
arrest at Agbarho, a serving army corporal and five others including
Kily Jabin, Austin, Tega and Shedrack over alleged armed robbery,
kidnapping and tanker hijacking offences.

The police spokesman who said the gang operates within Warri/Ughelli
and environs, stated that two Vento cars used for the illicit acts
were recovered, stressing that efforts had been intensified to arrest
their arms supplier.

He added that all the suspects including the inter-state kidnappers
and the tanker hijackers would soon be arraigned in court.

KIM KARDASHIAN AND CAPTAIN KANYE ARE READY TO SAIL THE SEAS

We appreciate Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West's collaborative
effort (she's a mermaid, he's a sailor), but that blonde wig just
isn't her best look! Love the cleavage though...

For the second year in a row, Kim hosted the Midori Green Halloween
party in New York on Saturday night, and Kanye didn't put nearly as
much effort into his costume, but were guessing these two have four
more nights worth of outfits planned!

Earlier in the day we spotted Kim jetting in from Miami and arriving
at Kanye's pad, and she was already pretty glammed up: she might be a
whore but she is sexy hot !!!

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GOING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW

Human Resource Managers (HRs) often make a lot of assumptions while
interviewing candidates for a job.

So if you have ever wondered why you were not employed, even after
what you feel was a stellar interview session, it could be due to one
of the 10 simple reasons below

Here are what the HRs are REALLY thinking;

1. Once you're unemployed more than six months, you're considered
pretty much unemployable. We assume that other people have already
passed you over, so we don't want anything to do with you.

2. When it comes to getting a job, who you know really does matter. No
matter how nice your résumé is or how great your experience may be,
it's all about connections.

3. We will judge you based on your e-mail address. Especially if it's
something inappropriate like kinkyboots101@hotmail.com or
johnnylikestodrink@gmail.com.

4. If you're in your 50s or 60s, don't put the year you graduated on
your résumé.

5. There's a myth out there that a résumé has to be one page. So
people send their résumé in a two-point font. Nobody is going to read
that.

6. It's amazing when people come in for an interview and say, 'Can you
tell me about your business?' Seriously, people. There's an Internet.
Look it up.

7. Make sure you're nice to everyone, especially the admin person at
the front desk. If you're not, we'll hear about it.

8. Never tell us you were fired from a job. Your résumé will
automatically go into the trash. In 90 percent of the cases, we have
no way of finding out.

9.. When it comes to getting a job, persistence does not pay off.
Checking in once or twice is fine. But if you call and call and call,
you're not going to get the job, because you're annoying.

10. If your former supervisor hated you, don't give me his direct line
for a reference. Instead, give me the number to HR. Most of us will
give out only the dates of your employment and what your title was.

KADUNA BOMBING: CHRISTIAN ATTACKS NEIGHBOURHOOD MUSLIMS

Following the attack on a Catholic church in Kaduna, Christian mobs
with machetes and sticks has taken to the streets of the city
targeting people they suspected to be Muslims.

A French news agency reporter said he saw mobs targeting people who
they believed to be Muslims in the neighbourhood of the church.

The neighbourhood shook as the bomb blast has brought up fears of a
fresh outbreak of reprisal attacks and clashes between Christians and
Muslims.

Residents fear clashes breaking out after the blast that shook the
area, between Christians and Muslims, as some say there were reported
clashes already.

Attack by Boko Haram in northern and central Nigeria has led to more
than 2,800 deaths since 2009. President Goodluck Jonathan has said the
group is seeking to incite a religious crisis in Nigeria.

Nigerians are frustrated with increasing insecurity in the country as
insurgency attacks have been happening too often. Worse still,
security forces' inability to stop Boko Haram attacks has increased
fears that the violence may continue.

HE WROTE OUT OF IGNORANCE; YAKUBU GOWON LAMBAST ACHEBE ON CIVIL WAR !!

Gen. Gowon

War time Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has criticized  renowned
author, Professor Chinua Achebe, over his new book  on the Nigerian
civil war, saying he{Achebe }does not know the issue he was writing
about.

Gowon said he was ready to face the International Criminal Court (ICC)
at the Hague on the matter if necessary.

"What role did Achebe play in the secessionist plans? Achebe must
have been outside the country during the war and probably did not know
what happened during the period otherwise he would not have written on
what he was not sure of ", he  remarked.

The erstwhile Nigerian leader,  who was answering questions from
journalists  courtesy, visit to Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu at the
Presidential Lodge, Minna, Niger state, yesterday, said Achebe must
have been talking out of ignorance, adding that he and the late Chief
Obafemi Awolowo had  no regrets over their roles in the civil war,
pointing out that if there was no secession, there would not have been
civil war.

"In fact , if there was no secession by the south eastern part of the
country, there would have been no civil war because right from the
beginning of the crises,  the war would have been averted if not for
the secession .

It was something I believed we could have stopped,"  he stressed.

Gowon  also debunked  the claim by the author that his administration
embarked on the mass killing of Igbo,  adding that the federal troops
did not also use hunger as a weapon to dislodge the dissidents.

"It  was the Igbo that objected to the creation of corridor for
movements of  medical  aid  and food supplies  to the civilian
population at the period; on this,  I am ready to face the
International Criminal Court of Justice at the Hague for prosecution
over  the role played by me during the war  and, fortunately,  some
Nigerians are still alive to bear witness to the roles played by both
the leadership of the secessionist group and the then Federal Military
Government under my leadership, "the war-time leader stated.

He also recalled that during the war, a  ship named "Josina"  and
owned by the secessionist group, which they claimed was carrying
agricultural implements,  was captured by federal  troops and it was
subjected to a thorough search and the cargo turned out to  be a
collection of  arms and ammunition.

Gowon, who was in Minna for a 2-day prayer organized by Nigeria Prays,
a group he leads,  said that the massive deaths recorded by the Igbo
during the civil war was caused by their own propaganda machine which
claimed that the northern invaders were coming to their camps and that
caused panic and  pandemonium among their people because some people
were trying to move from one location to the other out of fear of
imaginary attacks by the so called northern invaders and without food.

UPDATE: 4 DEAD, SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED IN ST. RITA CATHOLIC CHURCH SUICIDE BOMB ATTACK

The lone bomber had reportedly approached the church gate in a bomb
laden Honda CRV with the hope of driving unnoticed into the church
premises. The security at the gate who didn't know his mission,
refused him entry.

Apparently determined to carry out his evil plot, the bomber then
reversed his car and rammed it forcefully against the gate of the
church which gave way allowing him to run the car into the church
building at about 8.45 a.m when worshipers were observing the usual
Sunday morning mass.

The Damaged St. Rita's Catholic Church

Emergency Rescue Workers Evacuating The Injured To Hospital

A major section of the church building, cars and other houses close to
the church were affected by the impact of the.

Eye witnesses say that reprisal attacks followed immediately after the
bombing even as security officials are reported to have cordoned off
the area, while officials of the State Emergency Management Agency,

Justin Bieber cancer saga: Did fans shave their heads for nothing

The internet pranksters at the 4chan message boards schemed up an
elaborate hoax to fool Justin Bieber fans into thinking that their
idol has cancer - which he certainly doesn't. Not cool, 4chan.

The tricksters faked a tweet from Entertainment Tonight's official
account, reading "Pop star Justin Bieber was diagnosed with cancer
earlier this morning. Bieber fans are shaving their heads to show
their support."

They doctored a few photos of young girls with shaved heads to make it
appear that they were holding signs reading "Bald for Bieber."

They then created false images of more tweets -- one from Justin,
thanking ET for their support, and tweets from Kanye West and Chris
Brown offering Justin words of encouragement.

Again, it was all a hoax. Justin's bodyguard, Kenny Hamilton, denied
the rumors on Twitter shortly after they began. But thanks to Tumblr,
the rumors spread like wildfire. Videos like the one below, were
created.

21 CULTISTS ARRESTED FOR FORCING FEMALE STUDENTS TO ACT LESBIAN MOVIE AND RECORDING IT

The Nigerian Army in Enugu has paraded 21 Enugu State University of
Science and Technology students for allegedly torturing and forcing
some female students into lesbian acts.

The students, most of who confessed to being cultists, told
journalists that they took video shots of the lésbian act because they
had been offered money by some influential Nigerians.

The idea, the suspects said, was to take tapes of the scenes to their
partners in Europe.

Shortly before parading the suspects on Saturday, the General Officer
Commanding 82 Division, Maj. Gen. Sarkin Yaki Bello, who spoke through
the Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa,
said the cultists, were arrested in their hideouts at Agbani on the
outskirts of Enugu between July 8 and 12, 2011.

Bello said the patrol team of 103 Battalion moved to the ESUT
following persistent gunshots at the institution on July 4 and
arrested one of the masterminds of the crime, Mr Franklin Anikwe, with
five rounds of ammunition.

The GOC said he had directed that a thorough investigation be carried
out in order to fish out the pepetrators.

He said, "It was the preliminary investigation conducted by the
division's intelligence group that led to the arrest of the 19 other
suspects. Some of the items recoverd from them are four locally made
pistols, 10AA cartridges and video clips where the female students
were forced to have illicit stuff with themselves during the raid."

Also recovered were 10 mobile telephone handsets, including the one
used for recording the dirty scenes.

So on Star Search this week, we ask : Where is Paul Play Dairo and 9ice Alapomeji ?

In an interview he granted a reporter early this year, Paul Play
thankfully jumped back into our consciousness. In that interview, he
admitted his. disappearance; blaming it rightly on an illness that
almost wiped his name clean off the slate of music or perhaps this
very world.

He said he had been taking time to recuperate and was now set to
launch a new album which would be in limited supply as it was going to
be an "expensive" album… (just like 2face's)

That interview is now more than six months old and music fans as they
are known world wide have really short memory.

So on Star Search this week, we ask : Where is Paul Play Dairo?

Less we forget , 9ice is one major ruling Singer in Nigeria but
suddenly 9ice became ordinary Musician, His songs were no Longer
Commercial , Faulty Album released, according to survey .

For the past 10months , 9ice effectiveness and impact is no where to
be found in the Nigeria Music Industry.

Could 9ice low-key be as a result of discontinuous relationship
between His baby Mama ' Toni Payne ? Or could it be that young
talented artists have side line 9ice,like 'OLAMIDE' ?

And we also ask you our readers to tackle this question: why do our
celebrities who once had it big in music eventually fade away?

WE ARE ALL PRAYING FOR EROTIC SINGER, ST JANET – YINKA AYEFELE

The multiple-award-winning singer who turned a supposed tragedy into a
blessing – an accident that affected his spinal cord – said that the
accident was indeed the greatest blessing to his life. Using his very
words, Ayefele said: "It has been a tremendous blessing. God
understands and has plans for every life."

However, when asked about what he thinks of St. Janet, a female erotic
singer who is renowned for corrupting gospel songs, Ayefele had this
to say:

Don't forget ,Y! News brought to you the incident that happened to
saint's .How Singer, St. Janet, Finds Her New Husband In Bed With Her
Daughter .

"I can't judge Janet, I've met her and I've spoken with her. At a
time, I even advised her to do an album and title it "repentance".
However, she is old enough to know what she wants and even as people
may think that her songs are obscene, some people pay her heavily to
do those songs. However, we are all praying for her.

NURTW MEMBERS, PDP SUPPORTERS CLASH IN IBADAN – 20 INJURED

NURTW members, PDP supporters clash in Ibadan – 20 Injured – Some
members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and
supporters of some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Oyo State engaged in a free-for-all, on Friday, at the home of the
Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Arisekola-Alao, in
Ibadan.

A sallah visit to the businessman had gone awry after the PDP
supporters were attacked by members of the NURTW, led by the caretaker
chairman, Alhaji Taofeek Oyerinde, also known as Fele.

The PDP supporters, numbering about 100, wearing uniform ankara, were
said to have been led to Arisekola-Alao's house by two factional
leaders of the party in the state, Senator Teslim Folarin and Alhaji
Hazeem Gbolarumi.

The people were said to have occupied all the space in the expansive
living room of the businessman before the arrival of more guests.

Trouble started when the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and
his entourage arrived in the residence amid cheers by a crowd of his
admirers.

As soon as the governor arrived in the living room, the PDP
supporters, especially the women among them, were said to have chanted
anti-Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) slogans with talking drummers
adding to their excitement.

In a reaction to what they considered a slight on the governor, the
union members, led by Oyerinde, allegedly descended on the PDP
supporters, beating them, not sparing the females too.

Mr Taiwo Oke, who was the chairman of Ona-Ara Local Government Area
during the administration of former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, was
among those that suffered injuries during the attack.

He was hit in the head several times, after his cap had been removed,
before some people pleaded for him.

Several chinaware, from which the PDP supporters had eaten Sallah
meals, were damaged in the melee that lasted about 50 minutes.

The host had to mount a table in the living room to call for a
'ceasefire', reminding them of their purpose for visiting him.

The PDP supporters were later driven out of the living room by the
union members, while Folarin and others watched helplessly.

When Governor Ajimobi left the residence, Folarin, Gbolarumi and
others went into a closed-door meeting with the Aare Musulumi inside a
room upstairs.

US SOLDIER ARRESTED FOR WATCHING HIS WIFE SLEEP WITH 15 YEAR OLD GIRL VIA SKYPE

A soldier serving as a military police officer allegedly watched from
Afghanistan as his wife had sex with a 15-year-old girl over the video
chat service Skype, police have said.

Shawn Raymo, 22, and his wife Jessica Raymo, 21, were both arrested on
Tuesday on charges of using of child in a sexual performance and
endangering child welfare.

Police say Jessica Raymo broadcast the performance from the couple's
home on the Fort Drum in Upstate New York.

Long distance: Shawn Raymo, 22, allegedly watched from Afghanistan as
his wife Jessica, 21, had sex with a teen girl over Skype.The alleged
crime took place in July 2011, when Shawn Raymo was deployed in
Afghanistan.

He returned from deployment last fall, though the charges only
recently came to light, police say. It's unclear what the young
couple's relation to the 15-year-old girl is, though the Utica
Observer-Dispatch reports that she may have been from Madison County,
which is about two hours south of Fort Drum.

Police say Jessica Raymo had oral sex with the teen and broadcast it
from her webcam to her husband, via the internet. Charges: Shawn Raymo
is a U.S. Army military police officer. He returned from his
deployment last fall

Skype, which allows live video chats, is a common way for soldiers to
keep in touch with their families during long deployments overseas.
They were being held on $5,000 bail.

A spokesman for Fort Drum told the New York Daily News he had never
heard of anything like the alleged sex crime happening with soldiers
at the U.S Army post before.

'We are constantly trying to brief our soldiers on things that they
should not be doing,' Lt Col David Konop. Police are waiting for grand
jury results on the case.

But the naked truth is ,majority of married women have one way or the
other indulge in oral sex with younger kids both in the West and in
Africa !! But could it be because He is a military man ? Child
Abusers Beware !!!!!!

30-YEAR-OLD PROPHETESS IN OGUN STATE SET ABLAZE AS TRANCE CELEBRATION TURNS SOUR

She was a paragon of beauty not long ago. She now wears a new but
frightening look.
But when 30 year-old Prophetess Folashade Esther Ogunseye of the
Celestial Church Genesis Model Parish Agbado, Ogun state went into
trance for seven days sometime in July this year, she warned her
church members not to celebrate the feat for her.

But they would have none of that as they insisted on rolling out the
drums. So on the fateful day, they prepared food and practically
dragged her to the church where they danced round her to celebrate the
spiritual feat.

In the midst of the celebration, one of the church workers called
Elijah allegedly sprayed perfume known in celestial parlance as Ona La
on the dancers without taking cognizance of lighted candles which some
of them were holding.

Alas the perfume caught fire and Sade was set ablaze along with three
other members who had joined in the celebration. A pastor in the
church who had come to rescue them was also affected by the fire.

However, Sade was the worst-hit as she suffered severe burns. So the
once delectable Sade has been turned to a monster of sort.

While speaking with Saturday Tribune at her residence, No 77 Osopitan
bus-stop, Agbado recently, the Abeokuta-born single lady said she was
still at a loss as to why such a terrible fate befell her even as she
blamed her church members for her predicament.

"I had warned them not to celebrate the trance for me; that I didn't
want noise. Rather, I asked them to pray for me silently, but they
refused. This was not the first time I would be going into a trance;
the ill-fated one happened to be my fourth. Aside this, I warned
Elijah not to pour perfume on me, but he didn't listen, see what has
happened now," she lamented.

According to her, the fire incident might also be a spiritual attack
from the enemies of somebody she prayed for while in the spirit.
"Maybe, I prayed for somebody when I was in the spirit and the thing
now bounced back on me during the celebration," she added.

Saturday Tribune learnt that immediately after the incident, Sade and
other victims of the fire were rushed to a private hospital near the
church from where they were taken to the General Hospital, Orile-Agege
the following day for a better medical attention from where they were
later discharged. However, while others have made considerable
progress and have since returned to the church, Sade could not because
of the severity of her condition.

She said: "I cannot do anything as I am. I always feel hot. My neck is
always paining me. I can't wear my clothes. I cannot sleep unless the
fan is on. My neck region is always paining me. I have to put
ice-block or pour cold water on myself to reduce the heat. For how
long will I do this?"

Although she commended the shephered in charge of the church, Prophet
Oladele Ogundipe and other members of the church for taking very good
care of her since the incident occurred, she sought the support of
other well-meaning Nigerians to restore her to her former position.

"My church has been so wonderful to me. The shephered, his mum, the
church patron and other members of the church have promised to help
me. But I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Nobody will be ready
to marry me in my present condition. I'm not even comfortable with
myself. This is why I am appealing to members of the public to join my
church in assisting me to get over my present condition," she added.

She is to blame for her predicament- Shephered- In- Charge.

Meanwhile, the Shephered-In- Charge of the church, Prophet Ogundipe
absolved himself of any blame in the incident, claiming Sade should be
held responsible for her present predicament. According to him, she
and other members of the church who joined in the celebration went
against the rules and regulation of the church. "In the Celestial
church, there is nothing like trance or going to the mountains for
seven days. In our church, we don't do any trance celebration, we
don't go to streams or the bush; we are not fetish and we don't do
anything barbaric. I have always warned all church members to steer
clear of anything that is not in the vision of the church," he added.

Though he said he and the chairman of the church were not around on
the fateful day, he gave an account of what must have caused the fire:
"People have been saying it was a strange fire but there is nothing
like that. It was the perfume that was poured on her that caught fire
because of the lighted candle at the altar. This is a lesson to
everybody that if they want to employ anybody, they should not employ
an illiterate because they would not know how to handle things."

He told Saturday Tribune that the church member(Elijah) that allegedly
sprayed the perfume had been sacked and disgraced from the church. On
the steps the church had taken since the incident, Ogundipe explained:
"Immediately the incident happened, they took them to a private
hospital nearby. But I insisted they should be transferred to a
government hospital for the purpose of transparency because we have
nothing to hide. We also reported the incident to the police because I
know bad news spreads wide."

He added: "So far, the church has spent over N800,000 on Sade and the
three others that were affected by the incident. We employed somebody
to take care of Sade at home. The church gives her N5,000 weekly. We
bought a fan and a generator for her and we rent air-conditioned
vehicles to take her to the hospital whenever she has an appointment.
We had to stop the on-going construction work at the church because of
these expenses."

He however condemned Sade's general attitude to her situation: "She
asked to be discharged from the General Hospital, Orile-Agege when she
was still receiving treatment. Even the medical personnel are not
happy with her attitude."

When Saturday Tribune suggested the idea of reconstructive surgery to
Prophet Ogundipe, he said he was not sure the church would be able to
foot the bill for now even as he added that there had been assurance
from experts that the wounds would heal naturally.

"A physiotherapist at the Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital(LASUTH) has said that it will take between two to three years
for the wounds to heal completely because the trauma is still there.
They are still applying some drugs for now and may not need any
reconstructive surgery."
