| The burglar that was gunned down by that old man wasn't pregnant afterall Posted: 26 Jul 2014 05:06 AM PDT   28 year old Andrea Miller, (pictured left) had claimed she was pregnant before being gunned down as she ran from the home she and another accomplice had just burglarized by the homeowner, 80 yr old owner, Tom Greer (pictured right). Her accomplice, 26 year old Gus Adams could now be charged for her murder instead of the old man who shot her dead, as law enforcement agents say the man was within his rights to protect himself. Adams had initially escaped from the scene of the home break-in and shooting but he was arrested the next day and now police say that in addition to robbery charges, he could be charged with murder under a California law that makes a person criminally responsible for a murder that occurs in the commission of a felony. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2nd Lucozade Sport Lagos City Marathon Holds August 16th Posted: 26 Jul 2014 04:46 AM PDT  August 16 has been announced as the date for the Lucozade Sport 10 Kilometer Fun Run Reloaded, an event that provides leverage for Lagosians to revel in the fun of running to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is the second edition of the event sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Limited (GSK) as the maiden edition held on November 23 2013. Continue...  GSK, makers of Lucozade Sport isotonic drink and the Lagos State Ministry of Youth, Sport and Social Development are collaborating to organize the 10 kilometers Marathon Fun Run to provide vent for health conscious Lagosians and fitness lovers to live out their passion in a secure and friendly event. The Memorandum of Understanding for the partnership was signed last year and culminated in the first race, which had a number of corporates and individuals registering and participating in the event that ended with a colorful ceremony at the Muri Okunola Park on Victoria Island.  Dubbed the Lucozade Sport Lagos City 10km Fun Run, the event is targeted at Staff of Blue Chip organizations, Businessmen and women, professional athletes and students of tertiary institutions who otherwise may not have all the time to keep fit through regular exercises at the gym. According to Justin Korteasa, the Managing Director of GSK, " the race which comes under our flagship sport engagement brand, Lucozade Sport is another contribution of GSK to the emerging Lagos Mega City concept. We have Route Plan that commences with a Start Point in Marina and having every runner converge on the Finish Point at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island". The event was last year endorsed by the Lagos State Athletics Association, which serves as the Technical Partners. Participation in the event is expected to have teams from leading corporate organizations and professional marathon runners. Forms are already available at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos State Athletics Association, Rowe Park, Connect Marketing Office at Motorways, Alausa and online at www.lagoscity10kmrun.com. It has so far remained the major running event in Lagos State in the last two years and Lucozade Sport has been sponsoring several other events including the Lagos Cyclefest and the Lucozade Sport Open Air Workout which were all aimed at promoting healthy living in the citizens.        | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Woman's face gets 26 stitches after husband batters her over piece of fish Posted: 26 Jul 2014 04:21 AM PDT  For taking a piece of fish from the cooking pot, 34 year old Fatima Bankole (pictured above) said she got the beating of her life from her husband, Alhaji Kamoru Bankole, on Wednesday July 16th and now has 26 stitches on her face as a result of the brutal assault. Narrating what led to the attack, Fatima, who is one of three wives, said as wives of the Alhaji, they had a roaster for cooking. She said on the day any of them cooked, they would first dish for their husband, then the children before serving themselves. She said on the day of the attack, the last wife had finished her cooking and served their husband and the children. She, Fatima, then went for her own meal but as soon as the third wife saw her food, she immediately went to report to their husband that Fatimah had taken the largest chunk of fish in the pot. Continue... Not listening to her explanation that she only took pieces of fish scattered in the pot, their husband descended on her with punches to her face. She said she bled for hours and was thereafter locked up in a room for three days before she found a way of escape. She said her husband had physically assaulted her several times in the past and even gave an account of a previous attack where her husband pulled her hair until it hurt so bad it gave her head injuries.

| 3 sons of Zakzaky were killed during Friday's clash between Shiites & soldiers Posted: 26 Jul 2014 03:24 AM PDT    The Shiite Muslims released a statement alleging that 10 of their members were killed yesterday during their march in Zaria, Kaduna in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. They said among those killed were Sheikh Zaksaky's three sons, a nursing mother and child and two other women. They claim that security agents arrested three sons of Sheikh Zakzaky, and later shot two of the three men in detention. Find the press statement after the cut...   WE CONDEMN THE UNWARRANTED ATTACK ON MUSLIM BROTHERS IN ZARIA Friday 25-07-14 is a sad day, akin to a black Friday, in which some security agents of the federal republic of Nigeria, soldiers by the khaki they wore, gunned down, as at the time of writing this press release, 10 Innocent fasting Muslim brothers, who were peacefully voicing their discontent with the unfortunate massacre of Palestinians by Israel. Zaria residents are a witness to the peaceful nature of the procession which took off from Sabon Gari Jumaat mosque up to its termination point at Kofar Doka, Zaria City. Nobody was molested let alone his property. In fact the leader of the procession was delivering his speech, when some soldiers attacked the participants of the procession who were at PZ Junction in Zaria. In the ensuing melee, 10 people were killed by the soldiers, 40 were shot and now receiving treatment. And among the killed is a Muslim Sister together with her child on her back and the son of Sheikh Zakzaky, Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky. Also among those shot by the soldiers are two Muslim sisters. Not only that, the soldiers went away with 3 children of Sheikh Zakzaky, namely Ahmad, Hameed and Ali. As of now their whereabouts is still unknown. We vehemently condemn this vicious atrocity committed by the soldiers on us. Why should we be attacked? Who did we provoke during the peaceful procession? Who authorized this attack? Who participated in the attack among the soldiers? These are some of the questions the security operatives in the state need to answer us and the public. Also we demand the unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky's children in soldiers' custody and other Muslim brothers they might be holding. And should anything happen to them, we will hold the authorities responsible! This is not the first peaceful procession carried out by Muslim brothers in Zaria. In fact due to its peaceful nature residents in Zaria don't consider it as an unusual event that calls for caution. Another proof of the peaceful nature of the procession is the fact that it was staged today in Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Potiskum, Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, and many other towns in Northern Nigeria and all ended peacefully. So why should the one in Zaria be an exception? The authorities should explain. The casualty figures might increase, God willing we will keep the public informed of the Transgressor in Nigeria.

| Everyone is crazy in Lagos' - Etcetera writes Posted: 26 Jul 2014 01:53 AM PDT 
It must be a hell of a job for the governor and his officials keeping everyone under law and order daily. Lagos has a peculiar vibe that can't be found anywhere in the world, so much that "Lagos Hustle" is a commonly used phrase among Nigerians. I would rather go crazy living in Lagos than be bored to death in Abuja, Ibadan or Enugu. Abuja leaves you chewing your finger nails out of boredom. If you doubt me, whenever you have a visitor from Abuja, check his/her finger nails. They are always short and well chewed. Even the Hausa local nail trimmers have all migrated elsewhere due to the nail scarcity. It is said that people in Lagos argue for at least two hours daily. It is true; we love to generate arguments out of everything. We argue everywhere, in buses and even during church services. Now Telemundo has become a cause for more argument among the girls here. So why are they surprised that we are crazy in this city? How many people can stay sane for long with the screams of Telemundo girls and the wailing sirens of police and government officials constantly beating their eardrums? Even the supposedly rugged Lagos rats can't bear it too, that's why they are always scampering from one gutter to another. If only we can understand what those rats would be saying to themselves about the cars with wailing sirens and flashing blue lights which have now become the city's official ride for big boys. Don't they know that it is by far the easiest way to advertise their arrivals to all the criminals in the city? Let's add all the roaring vehicle engines, blaring horns, the arguments of the association of free newspaper readers at every bus stop, the street preachers with megaphones every morning, the open trucks filled with dancing skimpy dressed models selling almost expired products, or the rickety tortoise cars with dead PA system selling gbogbonise and the CD/DVD sellers blasting latest naija vibes. Anybody expecting to find a sane person in Lagos must be crazy indeed. It is like looking for a virgin in Nollywood. It is a city with an official soundtrack emanating from millions of generators rumbling constantly all through the day and night. But as crazy as it is in Lagos, I love it. I love the fact that it is like the city is divided in two halves, for non smokers and smokers. Or how can anyone explain to me why Apapa is always covered in thick smoke? Call it trailer exhaust fumes or smoke from burning tyres, what I know is that whenever I am passing through Apapa, it is as If I have suddenly walked into the smokers section of a night club. I love the fact that this city doesn't discriminate. And that all the money of the rich offers no protection from the most trying aspect of life here. Aggression is imperative and timidity on the road is seized upon by everyone even pedestrians. When driving, you are caught up, over-taken and honked at all at once. All drivers seem to be afflicted with honk sickness. You get in a taxi late at night when there isn't a single other car on the road, and the driver is still blasting his horn at five seconds intervals for the entire journey. It is even worse when the traffic is gridlocked. Ask the millions who experience this bottleneck from the mainland to the commercial districts on the Island daily. A guy dropped his friend at Lagos airport to catch a flight to South Africa. When he received his text message saying he had landed safely at Joburg airport, he was still in traffic on the way back to Victoria Island. We don't have much of a tourist industry in Lagos at the moment but thank God for Makoko, an extraordinary floating slum, where everyone travels round in boats. It is our own version of Venice. Thanks to the governor, the dividends of democracy can now be felt in some places in the city. Let's take the Ojota dump site for example, it has become symbolic of everything that past governments have tried to achieve. What used to look at first sight a rough, lawless, dangerous place has become a well-organised place where good money is earned by local street boys who now prefer a life of grime to a life of crime. Some of them are university graduates. Lagos is a shining example of democracy. Even the area boys and those scavengers on the streets for things to re-sell have their own democratically elected chairmen, who sort out any arguments or disagreements. Don't you love the look of today's Oshodi, especially when you are standing on the bridge feeding your eyes with the wonderful mosaic of human beings like a colourful artwork? The traders are constantly feeding energy into the atmosphere with their hilarious but innovative marketing methods, giving visitors from various parts of the world a first hand view of how lucrative and conducive this city is for their businesses. But it is imperative to have lots of patience and a good sense of humour to survive here. Planning is crucial if you want to get things done. You must make contingencies because most of the time things don't go according to plan, whether you are caught in argument or in traffic. For tourists, it is important to note that there are no up-to-date visitors' guide on sale anywhere. And the few guidebooks available do not pretend to over-sell the city's destinations. But one thing you won't need guidebook to notice are the mechanic workshops littered all over the city. The good thing about this is that whenever you go hungry, just walk into the nearest one and you are sure to find a mama-put (restaurant). Lagos is noisy, polluted, corrupt, lawless and ungovernable, but beneath these stereotypes are some of the most hardworking, passionate and big thinkers on earth. Thousands of people make their living by selling all kinds of stuff in traffic jams: household provisions, mobile phones, electrical appliances, wrist watches, books, clothes, popcorn, machetes, soup ingredients, wheel chairs, rat poison, CDs, DVDs, pets, you can even buy a brand new car in traffic. It is quite innovative and convenient because most Lagos residents prefer to do their shopping on the go. I love Lagos because this is the only city in the world where you can leave home for work stark naked and be sure to buy everything you want to wear in traffic. They've got ironing boards too in case you want your clothes starched and properly ironed.

| Sheikh's son, 5 others killed as police and protesters clash in Zaria Posted: 25 Jul 2014 04:09 PM PDT  The Shi'a Muslim group had gathered in the PZ area of the town for their annual Ramadan ritual called Muzahara, where thousands of Muslim faithful march around the city dressed in black to protest a cause. They dedicated their march today to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. A source said the group were confronted by soldiers as they gathered after Friday prayers, chanting Islamic songs, carrying placards and condemning Israel's invasion of Gaza. The soldiers' mission was to disperse the crowd but one thing led to another and violence erupted. Shots were fired and at least 6 people were killed, including the son of the leader of the Islamic group (the son pictured above). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Indian rape suspects beaten by angry mob after 7yr old girl is found hanging from a tree Posted: 25 Jul 2014 03:13 PM PDT  One man was killed and two others were badly hurt today by villagers in India who accused them of raping and hanging a seven-year-old girl. The girl was discovered hanging from a tree near the village of Kaliabazar, West Bengal, this morning and angry villagers quickly rounded up a local 'Tantrik' holy man and his two friends. The trio were mercilessly beaten. One later died in hospital and the two others are still being treated. Continue...  After a string of high-profile cases, India has become notorious for savage sexual attacks on often young women and girls. However, the number of rapes recorded in the country is still far lower than countries such as the U.S. and UK, according to figures from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. The victim in the most-recent case had gone missing last night, after apparently going out to the neighbourhood shop. The Hindustan Times reports that people went around the village to gather a search party, which found her body handing from a tree. Word spread and rumours began circulating that she had been gang-raped, spurring villagers to round up Ratan Das, a local Tantrik, or Hindu witchdoctor, and two of his associates. The mob beat up the men and also set fire to a house belonging to Das, who had been seen with the victim yesterday morning. Then they went to police. Sukesh Kumar Jain, East Midnapore Superintendent of Police, told the Hindustan Times: 'The father of the girl lodged a complaint at the local police station against three persons.'One of the three accused has already died.' There is as yet no evidence that the girl was raped before she was killed. Police said they are not ruling out a family feud as the motive behind the killing. 'We are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm rape,' said a police officer. 'There was also some enmity between the families of the girl and the prime accused, Ratan Das.'
