LAGOS STATE: THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE TO BE COMPLETELY CLOSED TOMORROW SUNDAY 14TH

The Lagos State Government has said the Third Mainland Bridge will be
closed totally to traffic on Sunday to allow for thorough repair works
on the bridge.



The government has advised motorists in the state to make use of
alternative roads on Sunday as the bridge would undergo complete
diversion of traffic from 6.00 am to 12 midnight.

Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, who disclosed this in
Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, said that the complete diversion from the
bridge was to allow the contractor, Borini Prono, to do the concrete
casting of the expansion joints currently undergoing repair works on
Oworonshoki-bound section.

According to him, the concrete casting and drying process required
zero vibration, hence the diversion of vehicular traffic away from the
bridge from Adeniji Adele to Oworonshoki end on Sunday.

He added that during the diversion, motorists inward Lagos Island and
Ikeja would be restricted from having access to the bridge from 6.00
am to 12 midnight.

Opeifa urged motorists approaching from Lagos end to follow the
diversion at Adeniji Adele Interchange to connect Carter Bridge, link
Iddo interchange where they could easily connect Ikeja, Ojota, Ketu,
Ikorodu, Agege, Lagos Ibadan expressway, Alimosho, Oshodi, Abule Egba,
among others through Eko Bridge, Herbert Macaulay Road and
Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. Culled from Daily Post

NEWS : POLICE SHOOT SALES GIRL DEAD, INJURE 3 OTHERS

The girl was hit in the chest by bullets fired into a photography shop
where she worked as a sales girl.

Three other people sustained gunshot injuries when policemen from the
FCT Police Command fired bullets indiscriminately in an attempt to
enforce the demolition order of the Abuja Metropolitan Management
Council.

The policemen had stormed the area around 7 am with officials of
Development Control Department, who had come to demolish illegal
structures.

But residents and indigenes, who felt that the government had no right
to demolish their houses when they were yet to be resettled, resisted
the operation.

They claimed that the case was still in court and that their leaders
had advised them to continue to live in the area pending the
determination of the suit.

As the policemen shot indiscriminately to control the residents,
bullets penetrated into one of the shops and Lucy was hit in the
chest. She was rushed to Garki Hospital, but she was confirmed dead on
arrival. Her body has been deposited in the mortuary.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wilson Inalegwu, met
the House of Representatives representing AMAC/Bwari constituency of
the FCT, Zephaniah Jisalo, at the hospital when he visited.

Inalegwu, who was in tears, assured the lawmaker that the case would
be investigated.

"We are not sure what took our men there or what led to the shooting,
it's still a matter for investigation," he said.

Emeka Ani, owner of the photo shop, where the deceased worked, said
that his sales boy also sustained gunshot injuries during the
incident.

He said, "From morning, the police surrounded our area. They said they
came for demolition. All of a sudden, they started shooting
sporadically. They shot into my shop and killed my sales girl. My boy
also sustained injuries. Lucy has been with me for about one month.
Her sister brought her for me from Cross River."

The National Coordinator, Greater Gbyagi Initiative, Mr. Gimba Baiza,
described the incident as wicked.

More Risky for Pregnant Women who Sleep On their Back ,May Experience increase Still - Birth

Pregnant women who sleep on their backs may increase the risk of
miscarriage, Australian research has found. The study, known as the
Sydney Still-birth Study, looked at the pregnancies of 295 women from
eight hospitals around Australia.


The five-year study found that women who sleep on their backs are six
times more likely to have a stillborn baby.

Lead researcher Dr Adrienne Gordon, from Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital, said previous research had suggested prolonged periods in
this position restricted blood flow to the baby. It's thought that
sleeping on the right side or on the back reduces blood flow through a
major vein from the legs to the heart, which affects the supply to the
womb.

The researchers added it was important that women who are currently
pregnant 'don't become alarmed if they sometimes sleep on their back'.
Experts have pointed out previously that three-quarters of pregnant
women sleep mostly on the left side – higher than the rate in women
who are not pregnant. This may suggest they instinctively choose a
sleeping position that works best for baby.

10% of stillborn babies have some kind of abnormality, and other
possible causes include problems with the mother's health or problems
with the placenta, which links the baby's blood supply to the
mother's.

Still-birth Foundation Australia, which funded Dr Gordon's work, said
the study was unique as it looked exclusively at women who were more
than 32 weeks pregnant.


'It's in this later stage of pregnancy that the largest proportion of
stillbirths occur,' director Emma McLeod says. 'For around 40% of
stillbirths after 32 weeks, they are otherwise perfectly healthy
babies and there is no medical explanation as to why they died.'

In addition to sleep position, significant risk factors for
still-birth included how much the baby moved and whether it was the
size it should be for its age.

'We found an association with decreased movements and stillborn
babies,' Dr Gordon said.

On the other hand, in women with healthy pregnancies who had a live
birth, the frequency and strength of the babies' movements actually
increased later in the pregnancy.


Dr Gordon added: 'This may de-bunk the myth that it's normal for a
baby's movement to slow down at the end of pregnancy. We didn't find
that at all.'

Emma Laing, midwifery manager, said: 'Should women have any concerns
or feel their babies' movements have decreased, they should contact
their midwife.'

Last year a University of Auckland study found mothers who slept on
their back or right-hand side on the night before giving birth were
twice as likely to have a stillborn child compared with those who
slept on their left.

But the researchers cautioned pregnant women not to be over-concerned
by the finding. 'It was an observational study, not one that can show
cause and effect – all it does is show an association,' said lead
researcher Tomasina Stacey.

Janet Scott, of the Still-birth and Neonatal Death Society charity,
said sleeping position could 'play a part in well-being'. After-all,
she added, mothers-to-be are 'encouraged to lie on their left for
ante-nat al appointments' to increase blood flow.


A stillborn baby is a baby born dead after 24 weeks of pregnancy. If
the baby dies before 24 completed weeks, it is known as a late
miscarriage. Culled from Daily Health

We have to ask -- would their dad be rolling over in his grave? Paris,
Prince and Blanket Jackson walked a red carpet Thursday night at a
launch party for something called Mr. Pink Ginseng Drink, and the
three of them actually posed holding up cans of the concoction.

Blanket, 10, even posed chugging down a can!

The drink markets itself as something that can "promote longevity" and
"restore youthfulness" -- just what every 10-year-old needs.

Paris 14, was decked out in a very grown-up gown and extensions in her hair.

The Jackson trio was accompanied by their aunt La Toya to the event
held at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, and
Lindsay Lohan was among the other guests.

Arab Money talks !! SON OF WEALTHY ARAB BILLIONAIRE BRAGS ABOUT HIS £200,000 FERRARI SEIZED BY POLICE

The son of billionaire Sheikh whose £200,000 Ferrari was displayed
outside Scotland Yard as a warning to uninsured drivers has bragged
how it was returned when the police discovered who he was. The
supercar was put on show outside the Met HQ to let illegal drivers
know that their cars would be seized – whatever they were driving…

But the owner of the Ferrari FF, Sheikh Rashid Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi –
son of the Emir of Ajman, in the United Arab Emirates, boasted on his
Facebook page that the Yard had handed the keys back as soon as they
identified him. He wrote online: "Arab money talks".

Sheikh who is known in Ajman by his nickname RRR, short for Rich in
Real estate Resources, posted pictures on Facebook of his Ferrari
accompanied with the statement: "My Ferrari got Seized in London, then
they found out who i was and gave it back". He then wrote 'Arab Money
talks' followed by a smiley face emoticon.

The car can reach speeds of 208mph and can go from 0 to 60mph in just
3.7 second. Truly Money speaks louder than voice !! Maybe My in my
Next World I would be son of Dangote or Otedola lol.

Could Chris Brown be Mad ? What is wrong ?

Maybe all the back and forth between his two lady loves is starting to
get to Chris Breezy…..or maybe he just likes playing dress up in
Rih-Rih's closet since there are clearly women's clothes in the
background.

Either way, this picture that he posted to twitter rocking some 1B/27
18-inch stripper yaky and looking slizzard out of his mind makes us
wonder what the hell he's doing with this life.
Rih-Rih…..Karrueche….Nicole….somebody. Get your boy. Could brown be
mad in love or lost ?

War- D’banj- Kenye West Signed D'banj Record not Mohit Record

In a major interview post 'Mo Hits, DB/Good Music/Mercury/IDJ artiste,
Dapo Oyebanjo popularly called D'banj, sought to lay to rest various
allegations and rumours being peddled about him, in an exclusive
interview he granted a Lagos State based radio station, Cool FM.

The artiste, who lists Why Me as his break out song, also spoke on
chances of reconciling with former partner and friend Don Jazzy. Asked
if there were chances that both parties may reconcile, he said "We can
always work together and Don Jazzy still produced some songs on my
forthcoming album. Yes we can work together in future. Maybe a big
company can pay a lot of money for us to perform and yes it has to be
a lot of money for me."

Although the separation remains fresh in the minds of the public since
the break-up made public in March this year, the singer appeared to be
still be nursing the wounds. He appeared overwhelmed with emotions
when the interviewer referred to Don Jazzy as his friend. To this he
went metaphorical saying, "What do you guys call friends, I mean I had
friends for nine years and you guys saw what happened after the
divorce. I lost custody of my children (signees) apart from the one I
had out of wedlock."

D'banj also said he was boss of defunct Mo Hits Record by claiming
that it was his record label D'Banj (DB) Records that went into
partnership with Kanye West's G.O.O.D and not Mo'Hit.

Ever since the singer was officially signed on to West's G.O.O.D Music
label in July, he was rumoured to have joined the dreaded Iluminati
Cult, which is alleged to be home to a number of American celebrities,
including West. In defence, D'banj said, "I don't know anything about
the Illuminati. When I wanted to travel out of Nigeria for the first
time I collected my international passport from Bishop David Oyedepo.
That shows that I owe my success to God. If my success is too fast for
people or they cannot understand it please don't attribute it to
illuminati. I feel very offended when that is being said because it
simply translates to giving God's glory to another person which He
does not share with anyone. God will strike anyone who attributes my
success to someone else."

To the allegations of an existing relationship with Nollywood actress,
Genevieve Nnaji, he said, "I am very single, and Genevieve is my
friend. I have been saying this for over a year since we shot the Fall
in Love video. Can't you people just see fine boy and fine girl in a
video kissing each other and not think anyhow?"

Although the singer who released his debut album, No Long Thing in
2005, was recently featured on West's Cruel Summer CD inlay and a
couple of other singles, he has been criticised for 'leaving his
kingship in Nigeria to become a prince in America.'

Amidst laughter, Dbanj replied, "Did I change the crown? I only
carried my crown to the US. People are just confused but the truth is
I am still a king wherever I am. Being in a different country and
culture I had to study the environment which is what I am still doing.
I actually thought I would release my album in America but my label
thought UK would be better because I have a bigger fan base there. I
weighed my options remember everything did not come from me so I had
to do what I did to move on."

The singer, who revealed that his mother allowed him to travel to the
UK in 2002 with a condition that he would spend just two months there,
describes social media network as platform for idle talk.

"I am too busy for social media, please. If you people want to talk to
me go to TV or radio I don't go to social media except I have
something to say. I never give out recharge cards on Twitter (laughs)
even when I was with Globacom I never did that. If you want to do that
why not help a charity instead."

You are referring to Collins about the social network and sending of
recharge cards… Mind you let me refresh your memory… DB record were
not esterblished when you met West in Dubai, remember you waited to
meet West and after meeting him you told Collins to play him the music
from his ipod that West said he liked the music after you introduced
yourself to him? So how come you now turn round to say West signed DBR
not Mo hit? Anyway we are watching you… Lest I forget you have not for
once given to charity not even recharge card of 100 Naira… The ijebu
in you… No company is willing to spend their money on you so stop
dreaming.. Collins I have been telling you to limit your social
networks usage and build your empire very well

Everyman gotta right to decide his own destiny, so in this Judgement
there's no partiality. Whether Don or Not D'banj will still carry onto
success "destiny" b'cos D'banj's destiny doesn't depends in DON's
hand. So stop saying what you don't know, mind your business. DON is
blessed & D'banj is blessed too, GOD has blessed them with different
talents. Leave D'banj alone …… thank you !!!

Mourinho: It would be a crime if Ronaldo does not win the Ballon d'Or

Mourinho : Messi and CR7 from another planet Mourinho stated after the
Clasico that both players were from another planet, but he is now
having second thoughts about his previous statement, and believes his
compatriot is well ahead of the Argentine forward , according to goal
.com

"It would be a crime if Cristiano didn't win the Ballon d'Or. If Messi
is the best in the world, it's only because Cristiano is from another
planet," Mourinho stated to A Bola. "He wasn't born on Madeira, but on
Mars.

So he's not from planet Earth. That's why he's the best player in the
universe. If Cristiano does not win it this year, it has to do with
his image. He doesn't sell himself well and isn't always a nice guy."

The flamboyant coach then voiced his opinion that it is more difficult
for Ronaldo to excel than it is for Messi, as he has not been
surrounded by the same teammates for years .

"Things are much harder for Cristiano than they are for Messi. Messi
grew up with his current team and teammates," he said. "Cristiano, on
the other hand, came here from England and arrived at a struggling
team. He has had to develop in a team that wasn't the finished article
yet."
