| Former NFL player sends out iPads as wedding invitations! Posted: 31 Jul 2014 12:27 PM PDT  "It's pretty badass. Here's what we know. The iPads were sent to several guests a few weeks ago -- and once they're powered on, a program opens informing the recipients about Key's wedding events. Also included -- a photo gallery, guestbook, and countdown to the big day. The couple also made it easy for guests to buy wedding gifts -- by including the registry right on the iPad. Of course, the woman Keyshawn is set to marry is Jennifer Conrad -- his longtime GF and the mother of 2 of his children." |

| Mum of suspected bomber who disguised as a woman says he's not a terrorist Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:27 AM PDT   Well, the suspect's mother Zubeida Yusuf, who lives in Mando, Kaduna has spoken and she says her son, Mansir Yusuf, is no terrorist. She said the military mistook her son for a terrorist because he was found wearing female clothes; "My son is not a terrorist. What is wrong with him is an evil spiritual attack which is making him to prefer women's clothing and to act as one who is mentally retarded. Everyone in Mando knows that he only has a spiritual condition that is making him to act strangely.
According to her, they were at home on Wednesday when they heard of the bomb blast in Kawo and people were running there. "My son said he was going there too and I told him to stay at home. But he sneaked out, and as usual he carried his bag with woman clothes and mobile phones." She said she later heard that her son had been killed and later that he was arrested by the military. Zubeida challeged the government and everyone to come to Aminu Kano Street in Mando and ask of Mansir Yusuf, saying "they all know him and know his spiritual challenges for years." An elderly man in Mando said the suspect was actually under spiritual attack. "We have even suggested several treatment options to the family which I am sure they have commenced. But his case is purely a spiritual attack," he said. The suspect's elder brother Ibrahim Yusuf said "the spirits making my brother to misbehave strangely have hindered him from doing any work to earn a living except the desire for wearing female clothes." A resident of Kawo, Sirajo Suleiman said Yusuf was not found with any explosives apart from some mobile phones and clothes. Hassan Mai Shayi who stays in Kawo and knew the suspect said, Source: Daily Trust |
| Jay Z ready to pull the plug on his marriage to Beyonce? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:10 AM PDT  From NY Daily News Expect Beyoncé to post a staged Instagram photo of herself and hubby Jay Z any minute now, because things between the couple have never been worse. A close pal of the hip-hop power couple says Bey and Jay are being advised to play up their happy family act for the paparazzi and on social media, despite the collapse of their marriage. They will release a joint statement addressing the rumors in late September, once their current tour wraps, the friend says. "Let's leave it at it's only a matter of time (until they split.) It's so obvious now it's embarrassing," a source tells Confidenti@l. The duo are currently on the West Coast leg of their successful On the Run tour. "Around the time the tour ends, they'll make a choice on whether they want to separate or admit trouble." Another pal of the couple says they will finally address the problems because Jay is "so over it." "He wants this tour to end and he wants the rumors to stop," says our second source. Our first insider says the couple, who married in 2008 and had daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, are both impeccable performers who have been fooling their fans for two years now and that their relationship is "strictly business." And while Jay has told friends he wants out immediately, we're told Beyoncé is fine with keeping the act up indefinitely. "This (trouble) has been brewing longer than anyone knows," says our first source. "They're performers. And they're good performers. It's a business now, and they are business partners. And they don't even fight. They know what it is." Their charade was working perfectly until May. That's when leaked video showed Beyoncé's sister, Solange Knowles, kicking and punching her brother-in-law in the Standard Hotel's elevator following the Met Ball. Big sister Bey appeared to calmly watch the beat down. But now, whispers of the relationship's epic collapse are so loud that Bey and Jay have been reaching out separately to pals, complaining they're unhappy because the energy of keeping up appearances offstage has become unbearable. "They are both being advised on how to look like they're together. A negative report comes out, or a breakup report comes out, and they are advised to post a picture with Blue Ivy," says our second source. So why stay together? "Why do you think?" the source said. "Money. They will play the public as long as they can and get richer doing it." And while both the rapper and the singer are independently wealthy, they recognize the power they have together to pull in even more cash — and have choreographed On The Run with ample hugs, kisses and cuddles to appear like a solid married couple. Billboard has reported the tour can expect to gross close to $100 million before it ends its run. "This is a classic case of damage control. Staged photos, tweets, it's a business relationship," says our well-placed insider. "They're on tour and to get through the tour they have to put up a persona. It's all spelled out. It's more financially beneficial for them to continue the tour and the Instagrams and tweets while all this is happening. That's how damage control works." |

| Police explains rise in female suicide bombings in Nigeria Posted: 31 Jul 2014 05:49 AM PDT .jpg) Addressing newsmen at the National Information Center yesterday, Mr Mba said Boko Haram men now use women because they raise fewer suspicions. "If you have been following the trends of terrorism worldwide, you will understand that use of female suicide bombers is actually not totally new. It is actually a new trend in our own part of the world. The reasons why established international terrorist organizations go for female suicide bombers is clear. The major reason is that women raise fewer suspicions, particularly with security layers, and so they take advantage of the fact that women raise fewer suspicion to try to indoctrinate and recruit female suicide bombers. The suspicion even becomes much lesser if the woman in question is a minor and that explains why. In addition to that is the fact that by rules of engagement that we are cultured to, male security operatives are not allowed to frisk or search females but we are equally developing counter terrorism strategies to deal with that." he saidHe disclosed that more female police officers will now be stationed on roads and other places where stop-and-search exercises are being carried out. "Nigerians should prepare to see more female police officers, more female bomb disposal experts, more female DSS operatives, more female soldiers actually in combat operations and carrying out stop-and-search," he said |
