He is afraid of armed robbers.

fstranger:
By US standard, she is too fat, and hence undateable!

She is Nigerian and not American.

fstranger:
Omotola is too fat!

She is fat but not TOO fat.

Why? Cher is hot and Omotola is also hot. Did you see her legs?

What difference does it make whether they were forced to kiss or not?

rokiatu:
I think you are been biased. You didn't post a good  pic of  Funmi and that pic of Retta is deceiving, the lighting is too much, whereby making her face look brighter then she really is. He face is too clear photoshoped to the max. When you're comparing two people, post two equally good pic of both of them.

I vote Funmi cus her pic is natural.

If you have a better picture with serious lighting, please post it.

SaharaReporters were very unprofessional at the end of the video. What a rude journalist and I commend Fashola for keeping his cool.

fstranger:
So what? I beat women all the time.

Clap for your sorry behind.

Outstrip:
It's not just a hug though. The parents are making a show of the kiss obviously. You can even see and adults hand supporting the little boys head. I am on the fence on this one. I would not have minded so much if they were not siblings. As siblings at what age do you say "cut it out, it is no longer cute". If they just did it as children might do then it is okay but they are being prompted to do it and they are getting a reaction from people

Gbam. Thank you.

There are certain facts that does not necessarily fall under privacy rules, one of such facts will be double checking if a particular student had attended a particular university or if the student is merely falsifying and wrongfully parading himself has an alumni of such school, i doubt if any school would not oblige you such information.

For instance, I could send a letter to a school to find out if XYZ graduated from the school, I am most likely going to get an answer for that without obtaining warrants from the DA or permission from XYZ, however, if i request for further information such as XYZ's grades at school, then, I'd definitely need some sort of permission for that.

I don't know how much you know about the legal system in America but no professional will make a comment like this below because that is a violation of privacy rules.

“Plaintiff did not take his qualifying examination until May 1991. He failed this examination, was given an opportunity to retake the examination in July 1991,and failed this examination as well,” Judges P.J. Murphy, Holbrook, Jr. and J.J. Gage, ruled.

Also, privacy issues apart, is it not the same PHD or no PHD that is still the issue here?. What else is new from the news?.

I will not indulge Babapupa here because we are not on the same level. The only thing he knows in this life is how to collect egunje from Fashola to market his propaganda and if you refuse to buy his market, you are an enemy.

[size=14pt]11-year-old girl buries aunt’s baby alive[/size]



https://www.punchng.com/images/November/Sunday/pix201011210463260.jpg
(L: R) Shekinat, Usnah and Mr. & Mrs. Badmus



What could make an 11-year-old girl bury her aunt‘s baby alive? That‘s the puzzle which residents of a Lagos settlement, called Aboru, are trying to figure out. The story of Shekinat, the girl in the eye of the storm, raises curiosity, reports Samuel Awoyinfa - Punch newspapers.


In what seems to be a scene from a horror movie, 11-year-old girl, Shekinat, on Sunday November 14, buried her aunt‘s baby, 18-month old Usnah, in a shallow pit beside a soak-away pit in an uncompleted building in Aboru, Agbado/Oke Odo Local Council Development Area, Lagos.

Usnah, a baby girl, was in that pit for four days, hanging between an opening space between the excavated pit and the soak-away wall, with her head acting as a hook that suspended her body. The whole neighbourhood of Pipeline Road and its environs were said to have been thrown into confusion as the sad news of the missing girl spread like wild fire during the harmattan.

The parents of the baby, Mrs. Barakat Badmus and Mr. Nurudeen Badmus, were simply inconsolable as they searched the bush and isolated buildings around their residence on 19, Pipeline Road, Aboru, looking for their only child.

She was later found in a pit, covered with leaves and rags, four days after the baby had been missing. When Usnah was finally found in an uncompleted building beside her parents‘ abode, her parents were apprehensive. Was she still alive? If yes, in what state of health would she be by now? Questions; and more questions, begging for answers! Mercifully, dark-skinned Usnah was alive! However, she has suffered bruises in both ears, which portrayed the position she stayed for those four agonising days, at the mercy of the elements.

How did Shekinat perform this wicked act? Badmus said that on that particular Sunday, himself, his wife and baby went to bed around 9:00pm, while Shekinat was left in the sitting room, which also served as her sleeping space.

The first episode that showed that the girl was up to some mischief was said to have happened some minutes after they retired to bed. Badmus told SUNDAY PUNCH, ”Shekinat came towards the door of our bedroom, and was trying to enter when I challenged her. She said that we did not close the door properly and that she only wanted to close it firmly.

”She came the second time and gave another flimsy excuse. It wasn‘t until around 11:00pm when my wife wanted to breastfeed the baby that we discovered the baby was no longer on the bed with us.”

The Badmuses and their neighbours all trooped out that night looking for Usnah. They searched till midnight, yet there was no baby like Usnah in sight.

All this while, Shekinat was also said to have denied knowing anything about the whereabouts of the baby. According to Badmus, Shekinat was only punishing her aunt for rebuking her for her misdemeanor.

On the Saturday preceding the day of the incident, Badmus discovered that a sum of N800 was missing where he kept it in his trousers pocket. He had asked Shekinat about the missing money, but she denied ever knowing anything about it. But later, he said, Shekinat and one of her friends in the neighbourhood, named Basirat, came forward to say they had found the money under the bed.

Shekinat‘s aunt, Barakat, who was away when the incident involving money happened, was said to have reprimanded Shekinat by giving her some strokes of the cane. Badmus told our correspondent that perhaps that stealing Usnah was the only way she could get back at her aunt for rebuking her.

"He came to my house and we had an argument over someone calling me. He wondered why the person was calling me and all of that. Though he was fuming, I thought he was just pulling my legs and the next thing he did was to pick his keys and told me he was going and I said no problem. That was some minutes to midnight. He didn’t allow me to see him off to the gate, so I saw him off to the gate in my car.

He came out of his car to meet me and told me I should go home and I said why not. While I was talking to him, he punched me in the face. I was just there, crying by myself. He drove off and later turned back. When I saw his car lights, I looked up wondering why he was coming back. So, I just drove out of the estate into the street, running for my life and he followed me. I was heading to the hospital because my ear drums were hurting. I didn’t even know what was happening to my system.

He caught-up with me at the hospital gates and begged me saying he was sorry and all of that. He offered to take me home in his car and I agreed. I was crying and he was begging me saying it wouldn’t happen again and that he didn’t even know what happened and I felt that people make mistakes and because it was the first time, I forgave him. But he continued beating me over every little thing, and the last one did it. I already told him I was no longer interested and we’ve broken up. We have both moved on with our lives and he once ran into me on the street and said he heard I went to Ghana and I said, Saidi, I don’t want to talk about it and he injured me."

The trick to life is to learn to LIVE with the cards you are dealt

(Glory Edozien 2010).

I am not much of a card player. As a matter of fact, I can hardly shuffle a deck of cards without the whole pack collapsing and falling to the floor. But I think there is something to be said about card games and the way they mirror life. The way each player comes to the table and are randomly given a set of cards they didn’t pick themselves and have no way of knowing which card they’ll be dealt next. The skillful players are able to turn the most insignificant card hands into a winning game while unskilled players like myself remain clueless even with the best of hands!

This is very much like life itself. We really have no way of knowing what will happen tomorrow, yet alone within the next 3 seconds! But like card players we must learn to play with the cards life has dealt us and move on. Of course this is much easier said than done. How do you tell someone who has just lost their only means of livelihood that they should “deal with it on move on”! But in realistic terms this is the only way to keep living.

https://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/black-woman-praying-218x300.jpg


I recently had a chat with a lady who frequently visits my office. She is in her mid to late fifties and has never been married, has no child and is currently undergoing menopause. She has no formal education but was a secretary for an oil servicing company a few years ago but sadly lost her job and has been unable to reenter the job market since. She told me of how people who live in her compound carry rumors about her, calling her a witch and how she feels like life has dealt her an unfair package. Aside from her redundancy package which she had wisely put in the bank, she really had nothing more. She also confided in me that she dreads leaving her house most days and prefers to spend her days locked indoors.

I sat and listened to her tale and my heart sank. Looking at her, anyone could see she was broken inside. She was afraid to carry on living because to her she had nothing left to live for. No husband, no child, no job…nothing! Her shoulders were slumped and her eyes told of a deep sadness that even money could not brighten. For several minutes ,I looked at her not knowing what to say. What could I possibly tell this woman that would give her some hope of a better tomorrow? For me it made absolutely no sense to just give her cash. She needed something more than a hand out. After what seemed like several minutes, I finally asked her “aunty, what do you really want to do with your life now”? She looked at me with an uncertain eye. So I asked her again, “Aunty if you could do anything with your life now what would it be”? She finally said she loved kids and she would love to be involved with children. So I told her why don’t you look for a job in a motherless babies’ home? Or set up a small day care centre with the money you have saved and start your life over again? She shook her head, “my dear, I am too old to start again”. My answer was a tad bit harsh but necessary. “Aunty, do you want to spend the rest of the years God will give you in your house feeling sorry for yourself or do you want to do something with your life”. The direct nature of my words stunned her but I didn’t think joining her pity party was going to be of any benefit to her. She needed someone to gear her spirit up and not someone to tell her “Eyahh, it is well” and dash her one thousand Naira! Unfortunately, Aunty is yet to take my advice, and instead prefers to come and sit around our office looking sad.

Now, please don’t get me wrong guys, far from me to be judgmental. But the truth is very few people walk into their dreams without fighting for it first. Sometimes life just has a way of taking the joy out of living but as long as you can still breathe you must be willing to get up and go the distance. I have learnt this harsh reality first hand. Years ago, I went through a really rough patch. I literally felt that my life had been turned upside down. I was so depressed I actually thought I had very little left to live for. But slowly and prayerfully, I started to think about the kind of life I wanted to live. That was when I discovered writing. I would wake up in the middle of the night and write for hours. For me writing became my tonic, it helped me to reconstruct my life and realign my priorities and goals. While I cannot categorically say that I am now living the life I want to live, I know without a shadow of doubt that I am well on my way there.

So this is the philosophy I have developed for facing life’s challenges. You must not only dream of the kind of life you want but you must get up and go get it. From personal experience and from the experience of those around me I have seen that in life there are two situations. The ones you cannot change and those that you can change. For those you cannot change, you must slowly and prayerfully come to terms with the situation and learn how to live around it. For those you can change, you must dig your feet in and fight tooth and nail to turn that situation around because nobody will do it for you. This to me is the trick to overcoming life’s challenges. May God grant us all the serenity to accept the things we cannot change; the courage to change the things we can….and the wisdom to know the difference.

bookface:
In a bid to defend himself against allegations of fraudulent claims leveled against him by leading American scientists,American-based Nigerian scientist, Philip Emeagwali, has told a new set of lies, an investigation has shown.In an article he published on ‘nigeriavillagesquare.com’,a Nigerian Internet discussion forum, to deflect the damaging allegations against him, Mr. Emeagwali claimed he had a 17-year academic career in eight-degree programmes at five universities.

He added that he bagged “an equivalent of six degrees in mathematics and Engineering” from those universities.But NEXT checks at the universities Mr. Emeagwali usually claim to have attended indicate that he has just three academic degrees from three universities

The embattled scientist earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the Oregon State University in 1977; a Masters in Mathematics from the University of Maryland in 1986; and another Masters in Ocean and Marine Engineering (not civil and marine engineering as he often claims) from George Washington University in 1986

Contrary to his claim that he earned a first degree from the University of London after self-study -as contained in a profile of himself he provided to the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineering,(IEEE), Lisa Pierre, the alumni relations’ manager of the university said there is no record to back such a claim.“I can’t find him in our database,” Ms Pierre said in response to the enquiry.

In the same IEEE profile, Mr. Emeagwali claimed he earned a doctorate in civil engineering (scientific computing) from the University of Michigan.But the spokesperson for the university,Deborah Greene, said although Mr. Emeagwali attended the university, he was not awarded a degree because he failed to complete the requirements for a Ph.D.

That was even after the university agreed to waive some of their requirements for candidacy.To buttress her points, Ms Greene referred NEXT to the judgment of a 1996 case Mr. Emeagwali instituted against her university claiming that the university discriminated against him because of his race.
But, in an unanimous judgment delivered in October 29, 1999, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled against Mr. Emeagwali,saying he could not have been awarded a doctorate after he failed to pass his examination

“Plaintiff did not take his qualifying examination until May 1991. He failed this examination, was given an opportunity to retake the examination in July 1991,and failed this examination as well,” Judges P.J. Murphy, Holbrook, Jr. and J.J. Gage, ruled.

Mr. Emeagwali’s dissertation was also found to have fallen far short of the standard expected of a doctoral candidate.“Plaintiff submitted his dissertation on July 24, 1992. The university faculty members who ultimately reviewed the dissertation did not view it favorably,” the judgment said. “On June 17, 1993,Gulari (a professor in Mr. Emeagwali’s department) notified plaintiff that the engineering college faculty had concluded that his thesis was not worthy of a doctorate degree.”

Sometimes I wonder how Nigerian journalists especially Sahara Reporters come up with these lies. No American university will offer such information to a reporter unless Emengwali permits them to do so.  Common, many American universities do not agree to release or tell parents the results of their children unless they have a written consent, how much less an outsider.

How many of you here attended university in the US, please can you tell us your school's policy about sharing your private information with a third party?. Some things are not worth flogging because if the school actually did such, they will be exposing themselves to liability suits. If it is a criminal case, the investigators are usually required to obtain warrant from the local DA before the school will allow them access to his files. Of course, the tribal lions here are so obsessed with nailing Emengwali to the wall that they forgot about such rules in US universities.

Y u no air-brush the 2nd pic 2?.

Must a picture be airbrushed?.

finemocha:
no offense to her but her man killz isnt cute either

She didn't ask for your opinion about her man. All she is asking is for you gbeboruns to mind your men and let her be with the man she loves. He may not be cute to you but he is definitely banging to her. It is like you, some people here may think you are hot while others may think you are butt ugly. Opinion differes depending on who is offering it.

plappville:
They dont gain what adults gain, U should not try to change your topic: at first My boy Will not kiss another little boy of 2yrs old. Hé does that with his Brother without any sentimental feeling. And i dont think parents encourage kids to kiss, on like hère in France to kiss is a polite way to great, we use thé word kiss (BISOU) for family member and also friends, it doesn't mean that to kiss is to exchange tongue as we see it in Nigeria. Kids hère kiss their mother in thé mouth, but at a certain age, it fades away naturally. Pikin wen go spoil go spoil, nô be kiss siblins wen spoil kids.

No the question was whether you will complain if you find  your 5 year old kissing another 5 year old GIRL in your neighborhood whether they exchanged saliva or not. The fear with this sort of behavior is that the child may take it beyond kissing or walk around in school kissing fellow students.

justwise:
Is her problem, she was found with the phone, the same person was found with some bunch of criminals, so she has alot of explanations to do.

That doesn't make her guilty and there is something seriously wrong with convicting an innocent person. She may have been hanging around the wrong people at the right time.

justwise:
Thats a big 'maybe', not just saying it, she need to prove that Amina gave her that phone AND Amina have to confess that too, if Amina denies giving her the phone then. . . .

How do you expect her to prove it?. All the police needs to do is hope that Amina is not tipped off yet and investigate her. She may be the person who will lead them to the real gang. Do you want her to bring a video showing her collecting the phone from Amina or what, For all I care, the girl looks lesbian to me and Amina may be her lover. Why should you reject a present from your lover?.

Who is insulting you?. Your younger married sister?. That is because she is measuring you with her husband and since you are probably on a lower level than her husband, she now sees you as thrash man.

Not to worry, any day you become rich, you will see her revert to calling you brother.

plappville:
If u are a parent u Will not criticize this, they are kids, they do not ve thé same feeling as adulte.
I ve two kids 2 yrs and 5 yrs  they are both boys, they kiss themselves most times, there is nô exchange of tongue as adults.

What do those children stand to gain from kissing each other?. Will you encourage your 5 yrl old son to continue kissing assuming you see him kissing a girl of similar age in the neighborhood[the girl is not related to him tho]?.

justwise:
And the nokia phone found with her?

What if the phone was actually given to her by Amina?. Amina may be the real armed robber who murdered the owner of the phone and this ode pictured here is taking the heat.
