2000 Boko Haram members storm Marte in Borno, capture town

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 07:15 AM PDT

Marte town in Borno state has reportedly been captured by Boko Haram members after about 2,000 of them stormed the town on Thursday April 23rd and engaged Nigerian troops in a gun battle, forcing the troops to flee the town.

A resident of the village, Imamu Habib, narrating what happened said;
"The terrorists, numbering over 2,000, appeared from various directions on Thursday and engaged the soldiers in Kirenowa town and adjoining communities in Marte. They fought with soldiers over the night and the fight continued today (Friday), forcing hundreds of soldiers to flee" he said.
Many people were killed during the shootout while many homes were destroyed. Marte town, which is believed to be rich in oil due to its proximity to Lake Chad, has been attacked twice by the sect members. They first captured the town in 2012 but were chased out by Nigerian troops shortly after the declaration of state of emergency in Borno state in 2013. They also attempted to take over the town the second time in 2014 but were forced out by Nigerian troops.

'I am a woman' - Bruce Jenner in his own words (watch the video)

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 06:37 AM PDT

It's been difficult for me to comment on this because I don't understand it. How can you live for 65 years of your life as a man, married three times, had multiple relationships with women, had 6 kids and all of a sudden you identity as a woman and want to wear female clothes? But you are not gay and have never been attracted to men? I don't get it. Watch him attempt to explain it..

Late Princess Diana and Prince Charles have a secret daughter?

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 05:43 AM PDT

This report is laughable. A story circulating in the U.S. media claims Diana and Charles had a secret daughter - although not quite in the way one would expect. Prepare to suspend your disbelief for a moment. For it is alleged that Prince William was not his mother's first child: that he has a 'secret sister', now 33, called Sarah and living incognito in a small New England town in the United States.

How, you may well wonder, can this possibly be true when William was born in June 1982, only 11 months after his parents' marriage?

The answer, according to this unbelievable claim, is that in Dec. 1980, Lady Diana Spencer, then a 19-year-old virgin, was ordered by the Queen to undergo gynaecological tests to establish that she was capable of bearing children before her engagement to the heir to the throne could be announced.

 
During these tests, so the story goes, Diana's eggs were harvested and fertilised with Prince Charles's sperm. The tests proved successful, and the engagement of Charles and Diana was duly announced. Charles, asked if they were in love, responded with his famously cynical observation, 'Whatever in love means' — and the embryos were ordered to be destroyed.

But one of the team who examined Diana, a 'rogue doctor', secretly held one of the embryos back and implanted it in his own wife. Unknown to her, she became the surrogate mother of the biological child of Charles and Diana.

Globe goes as far as to claim Kate had a '44 minute' meeting with 'Sarah'

Nigerian woman arrested for stabbing her husband to death in the US

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 05:38 AM PDT

35 year old Nigerian woman, Adebamiro Temitope, pictured left, has been arrested by the New Castle Police in Delaware, Philadelphia for stabbing her 37 year old Nigerian husband and father of her two children, Adeyinka Adebamiro to death over allegations of abuse and cheating.

The woman accused her husband of constant abuse and claimed he cheated on her with several women including her sister and their nanny's daughter.

 According to Delaware Online, neighbors alerted the police after screams and shouting was heard emanating from the couple's home in the 1300 block of Healy Courton in New castle on Thursday April 23rd. When the police got to their home, they found Adeyinka in the pool of his blood with a 4 inch single stab wound just below his neck which severed his carotid artery and jugular vein.


Temitope told the police during interrogation that she and her late husband had been married for 10 years with two children and he'd abused her for most of their marriage. She said the real trouble between them started when she found out her husband was sleeping with her own sister as well as the daughter of their nanny and other women. She said that the nanny had lived with them for two years.

Temitope also told investigators her husband had sent her to Nigeria for several months and after returning in December, she had to stay in a hotel near the Philadelphia airport for four days because her husband refused to let her into their Red Lion home.

He then paid for her to fly back to Nigeria for a few more months, according to documents. About this time, she learned that her husband had spent Christmas with the nanny's daughter.

The husband later flew out to Nigeria and flew back with her to Philadelphia. As he showed her the cameras inside their home over his cellphone, Temitope saw the nanny's daughter inside the home, documents claim.

At one point, Temitope saw several texts and images in her husband's phone, which she took pictures of using her cellphone. Some of the pictures included images of her sister and the nanny's daughter. The documents do not detail the images beyond that.

As the investigation drew to the night before the killing, police learned the couple had been talking and watching television on the couch about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Temitope and her husband began arguing after he discovered the photos she'd taken on her cellphone and he began erasing them, according to court papers.

As he yelled at her, Temitope told police there was a power outage at which time she went to the kitchen until power returned, according to documents.
Investigators checked with Delmarva Power, which indicated no such power outage occurred at that time, police said.

Temitope then told police that when the power returned, she found her husband in the first-floor bedroom lying in the bed. As she got closer to him, she saw a knife on the ground which she picked up and took to the kitchen. according to documents.
As she put it away, she noticed blood on the tip and that's when she realized that he was stabbed, the papers said.

While not admitting to the killing, the court papers claim Temitope changed her story several times about what happened in the bedroom, including to say that she entered first and her husband followed her in with the knife but that he later dropped it.

Temitope suggested that her husband stabbed himself, according to the papers. The autopsy, according to the papers, said the homicide was a single stab wound just below the victim's neck, about 2 inches off the center line. The stab was 4 inches deep and severed the victim's carotid artery and jugular vein.

When police told Temitope that this was not a suicide, the woman "began nodding her head in agreement," according to court documents.

Temitope was charged with first-degree murder and other charges. She was arraigned and committed to the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution where she is being held without bail.

Wendy Williams slams Bruce Jenner, calls him a 'fame whore' and 'Belinda'

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 05:10 AM PDT

On her show on Thursday, a day before Bruce Jenner's blockbuster interview with Diane Sawyer aired, opinionated talkshow host, WendyWilliams slammed Bruce Jenner for living a lie for 65 years.
"If this wasn't an obligation due to my career, I wouldn't watch" Wendy said of the upcoming show "I feel duped by Bruce… I don't feel duped because he's turning into a woman. I feel duped because he's the same fame whore as the rest of the family. Bruce has a daughter who is 17, involved with a 25 year old father of one. And she's a high school drop out and she's messing with her face and her boobs, and her behind, way to early in life. Bruce has bigger fish to fry than turning into Belinda. He should have thought about [transitioning] before he had all the kids… Belinda, shame on you!"
Of course, Wendy is being slammed for her comments, but trust her, she doesn't care. By Monday, we will know what she thinks of Bruce's interview. Meanwhile, see what other Hollywood celebs have to say about Bruce's announcement, after the cut. Actress Kristie Alley kinda shaded Bruce too...


Wendy's comment come at the 3.00mark


LAVERNE COX: Sending lots of love and support to #BruceJenner and their family tonight. It is always brave to stand in one's truth. Congrats darling.
ROB LOWE: I was proud of Bruce Jenner in Montreal and I'm proud of him tonight. Some have to fight more than the rest of us for their happiness.
ELLEN DEGENERES: Bruce Jenner is a beautiful, brave human being. Sending him lots of love. He's saving lives and opening minds tonight.
MILEY CYRUS: I LOOOOVE LOOOVE LOOOVE Bruce Jenner!!!!!!!
LADY GAGA: #BruceJennerABC Now that is bravery. We have the chance to write this moment in history together. Let's empower people like Bruce all over the world by being loving & not mean
JIMMY FALLON: One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. #BruceJenner #Brave
LARRY KING: I've interviewed #BruceJenner many times, and I'm in his corner. I support him & offer my respect.
ANDY COHEN: Mazel Tov to #BruceJenner - very very brave!!!
ELTON JOHN It's an incredibly brave thing to do, especially when you're older. I admire him for doing it and I support him 100 percent.
DR PHIL McGRAW I am so happy for him. This is his body and his life, and he needs to do what he wants to do. It drains your spirit if you can't be yourself. He is freeing himself. 
LENA DUNHAM: I think it's an incredibly powerful and brave move to disclose anything about your gender identity or sexuality in such a judgmental society. The interview is going to mean a lot to a lot of young people. 
PATRICIA ARQUETTE: You have to be so brave to live this truth of who you are. And if Mrs. Jenner is transitioning, I give all my support to her and love and appreciate everything she's given to America. She's fighting a fight for a lot of kids that are being kicked out of their own homes. Society turns their back on these kids and it's really brutal.
BOY GEORGE: I absolutely applaud what [Jenner's] doing and I think it's very brave. And it actually makes me quite emotional. [Jenner] has my 150 percent support in every way. I think that the whole transgender thing is the new frontier. 
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: This is going to be a little bit of a game changer for people, and dealing with family and how people feel and having those conversations, this is going to be much bigger than ABC or Diane (Sawyer),
JEFFREY TAMBOR: Any movement toward authenticity is an important movement and everyone can relate to it.
DONALD TRUMP: It's very sad because he doesn't seem very happy, and maybe whatever he's going to be doing will make him happy. If he's happy, I'm happy.
KIRSTIE ALLEY: Trying to find a place for myself midst a world that has mistaken bravery for insanity...Mandela was brave...the rest of this sh*t is absurd. (She later insisted the tweet had nothing to do with Bruce).

Can you sleep and lose wight with Calorad

Posted: 25 Apr 2015 02:36 AM PDT

If you are looking for a fairly painless way to lose weight (or at least not gain weight), then sleeping is a new solution for you. Ordinarily, we all believe that you would grow fat when you sleep but this is not true.

Researchers back the contrary view that if you sleep at least 7 – 9 hours each night, it helps you to lose weight or at least not gain weight; A simple experiment to verify is to note your weight when you are about to sleep and note it immediately you wake up.

Being short on sleep can easily cause you to eat larger meals, make you tempted to skip exercise (too tired always), get takeaways for dinner, and then sleep late because you are uncomfortably full. This is part of the reason why many are gaining unhealthy and undesirable weight especially in the tummy area. The trouble is that most people in our Nigerian society aren't getting enough sleep during a typical week.  Health experts agree that sleep is as important to health, weight and well being as diet and exercise. Of course sleep alone isn't enough to peel off the pounds even though it's the most natural way to lose weight. Check us up on facebook.com/caloradnigeria

Many formulators in weight loss products had targeted this natural phenomenon for a long time without success, until Michel Grise, the Canadian formulator who was working for Abbott Laboratories Inc developed the wonder weight loss dietary supplement called CALORAD. Calorad is unique in that it's a liquid dietary supplement and distinctive in that it has a powerful collagen-based formula that creates results. The best part of all this is that you lose the weight whilst sleeping which is so incredible. Collagen is the amazing structural protein found in our connective tissues and make up 30% of the protein in our body. The Calorad formula uses the body's natural sleeping rhythm to restore the body's lean muscle tissue, balancing the fat/muscle ratio leading to weight loss and other important side benefits.
You simply take a tablespoonful of Calorad in a half glass of water each night before bedtime on an empty stomach and let it go to work while you sleep. Call us to order; 08183200000 or 08185400000
Caloradhas been safely used for over 30 years in all women and men of child bearing age with tremendous effect. The collagen in Calorad also have tremendous side benefits for the user which includes effect on hair and nails, skin tone (esp. those with stretch marks), people with chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes etc where weight gain is a risk factor, and those with joint issues. The good news about Calorad again is that it has been used for all these years with NO KNOWN SIDE EFFECT. This is attested to by the hundreds of users in Nigeria who have used Calorad since it was given the license by NAFDAC to be sold in the country.
