Coup d'etat: Ecowas suspends mali

The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS), a regional group of sixteen countries, with a mission to promote economic integration among its states, today suspended Mali from all decision making, pending when the military junta returns the country to democracy. The African Union (AU) already suspended Mali last week. 

You will all recall that Malian soldiers went on state TV last week Thursday March 22nd to declare that they had suspended the nation’s constitution and seized power in a coup after the government failed to quell a nomad-led rebellion in the north. www.mannastores.com

Lagos State task force arrests 86 persons for having no address, work

According to Punch, the Lagos State Task Force on Environment and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit yesterday Wednesday March 28th arrested 86 suspected illegal squatters, food vendors and miscreants around the Ikoyi area of Lagos for not having definite residential address and means of livelihood.

The raid took place between 11pm and  1am this morning. The arrest was in response to complaints by residents of the area about the presence of illegal squatters in uncompleted buildings and makeshift shops. After conducting some investigation, the police classified the squatters as security risk and rounded them up last night. Those arrested were found in abandoned houses and shops at Lugard Street, Bedwell Street, Glover Street and three different spots in Parkview Estate. Police said some of them were suspected to be part of criminal gangs terrorizing Ikoyi residents.

Lagos state police say the raid will continue as the government will no longer tolerate people living in uncompleted building.www.mannastores.com

Wife throws sick actor Prince James Uche out of their marital home

 
The veteran actor has been sick and almost bedridden for over two years now, battling with diabetes and hypertension. What I hear now is that his wife, Ekene Uche, has thrown him out of their marital home because she's supposedly 'fed up with dealing with his illness, caring for him, and catering for the family all alone.' 

The actor is said to be squatting at a white garment church near his home in Gbagada. But when contacted, the wife said she didn't throw the actor out, he was only sent to the church to receive healing.www.mannastores.com

Fear of Boko Haram: Redeemed Church to Install CCTV on all their parishes

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye, has ordered that all Redeemed Church Parishes across the country should install the Close Circuit TV Monitors, in order forestall any form of attacks on the church and its members. Apart from the CCTV installation, which has taken effect in some parishes, some of the parishes now have security men in mufti parading the grounds of the church, staying vigilant, and monitoring everything that goes on outside, in case of suspected movement of persons or vehicles. 

All this is because some churches in Lagos were advised by the State Secret Service to be more watchful, as suicide bombers target churches with a large congregation

Pakistani girl commits suicide 12 years after horrific acid attack




A Pakistani former dancing girl left fighting for life by a 'horrific' acid attack has committed suicide a decade after being heavily facially disfigured.

Fakhra Younus, 33, leapt to her death from a sixth floor building in Rome 12 years after the acid attack which she said left her looking 'not human'. 

At the time of her attack in May 2000, her ex-husband Bilal Khar was the man accused of entering her mother's house and pouring acid over Younus's face as she slept.
 
The attack, which took place in front of Younus's then five-year-old son, left her unable to breathe and fighting for life.
Her nose was almost completely melted and she has since undergone 39 separate surgical procedures to repair her disfigured face over the past decade.

The horrific attack also burned off her hair, fused her lips, blinded her in one eye, destroyed her left ear and melted her breasts.
After being rushed to hospital she said, 'My face is a prison to me', while her distraught young son said at the time, 'This is not my mother'.

The mother-of-one moved to Italy after the incident to live in Rome and continue her treatment.
But on March 17 she took her own life, after leaving a message saying she was committing suicide over the silence of law on the atrocities and the insensitivity of Pakistani rulers.

Chief Chekwas Okorie, the founding national chairman of political party, All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), has formed a new party after leaving the one he helped create after years of legal battle with other chieftains of the party over its leadership.

At a news conference in Abuja today, he announced the name of his new party, United People’s Grand Alliance (UPGA). I like. Very creative...:-) 

236 days of rain coming to Lagos

The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment, Mr Tunji Bello, said at press conference yesterday that Lagosians should prepare for 236 days of heavy rain in 2012. What he said:  
The natural phenomena that controlled 2011 rainfall are still in force and as such it has been predicted that rainfall will commence from Thursday, March 22, with a margin of error of four days. To a large extent we will agree that this prediction is true as the rains have started in Lagos. It has also been predicted that the end of the season for 2012 is November 12 with a margin of error of two days; with between November 10 and 14 as probable days. The total length of rainy season for the year is approximately put at 236 days with a margin of error of two days. Like last year, Lagos will experience heavy rainfall with serious intensity.
236 days of rain? This won't be nice!!!

Battered women: What is going on in marriages these days?



















I got the photo on the left yesterday but didn't upload it because I didn't have all the details. People who sent it to me said it was a woman brutalised by her husband, but they couldn't give me her name or when the incident supposedly happened. So I really don't know what happened to her...but it's obvious that she was badly beaten....by someone. Now, the woman on the right had her fingers slashed off by her husband who is a police officer. He was not arrested for the assault. 
If you're a happily married woman, please re-assure some of us single ladies about this marriage thingy...because for the first time in a long time, I'm beginning to feel kinda happy that I'm single. The things I hear, see, even witness...it's beginning to get to me...

Man plunges to death in WAEC's collapsed elevator

A young man named Fatai died today after falling off a moving elevator on the eighth floor of the 12-storey building of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) building in Yaba, Lagos.
Fatai, who had come to the WAEC office to help a relative submit some documents, had stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened midway on the eight floor, thinking he had reached its destination. Unfortunately he stepped out into open space and plunged to his death. The elevator wasn't functioning well and there was no notice to warn people.
Saw on TV this evening as his mangled body was being removed from the building...his arms, legs almost detached from his body. WAEC officials have expressed regret over his death but according to reports, the family of the deceased have taken the matter to the police and might be suing WAEC for wrongful death.

Rihanna, is that you?


Haven't seen her look this way in a while. Looking so sweet and innocent. So loving it...

Working 55-Hour Weekly? You're Wasting Time


Research shows that consistently working more than 40 hours a week is simply unproductive.
For many in the entrepreneurship game, long hours are a badge of honor. Starting a business is tough, so all those late nights show how determined, hard working and serious about making your business work you are, right?
Wrong. According to a handful of studies, consistently clocking over 40 hours a week just makes you unproductive (and very, very tired).www.mannastores.com

I'm sure most of you know what this is all about. A few Black American senators went to work this week in hoodies in solidarity with Trayvon Martin, the teenager who was shot and killed by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman on February 26th for being black and wearing a hoodie inside his gated community allegedly assaulting him.

Trayvon entered the estate to visit someone, the watchman saw him, he was black, he was wearing a hoodie, to him that seemed suspicious, so he started to follow the boy. There was a confrontation, Trayvon gets two bullets to the chest. If this is news to you, www.mannastores.com

Synagogue Church Of All Nations Caught Selling Fake Miracles In Britain

 
At least six people have died in Britain after being told they had been healed of HIV and could stop taking their medication, Sky News has discovered.

There is evidence evangelical churches in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow are claiming to cure HIV through God.
Sky sent three undercover reporters to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), which is based in Southwark, south London.
All of them told the pastors they were HIV positive - all were told they could be healed.
Once a month, the church has a prayer line, where people from across Europe come to be cured of all kinds of illness. -
