The sword rests briefly on his neck as a blindfolded man kneels under a clear blue sky.

Moments later, the executioner raises his right arm, slashes downwards and the prisoner is dead. The barbaric episode is watched by a crowd of jeering men, many of them armed.

And sitting on a low wall only a few feet from where the wretched captive died so violently is a line of young boys.

They were still there as the dead man’s head was dumped on his body. Another child, even younger, was led by the hand past the corpse.The public execution was the last of four that took place on August 31 in the town of Keferghan in the north of the country.

An eight year old bride in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband.

The girl, identified only by the name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.
Activists in the region want to put an end to the practice of marrying young girls, and have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family.

Nevertheless, the forced marriage of child brides in Yemen remains a socially accepted custom in many rural areas.Indeed, the practice has deep cultural and religious roots, and is widespread in Yemen.
A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.

In particular, a prominent Islamic cleric, Abdulmajeed al-Zindani, issued a fatwa in support of the practice, declaring supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates, and ultimately leading a successful campaign against legislation that would prevent adult men from marrying children.

The issue of Yemen's child bride problem made headlines three years ago when an 8-year-old girl went to court, demanding a judge dissolve her marriage to a man in his 30s. The girl eventually won a divorce, and legislators began looking at ways to curb the practice. However, they have so far been unsuccessful.

Currently the law states that parents should decide when a daughter marries. Unfortunately, reports indicate more than a quarter of Yemen’s females marry before age 15.

Startimes Vchannel hosted Cossy Orjiakor last Friday 30th August at Troy lounge Ogba, Lagos.
The event was created to appreciate the Achievers in the entertainment Industry.

Meanwhile, at the event, when Cossy was asked why she enjoys being in the news, Cossy said:

I don’t love scandals. I don’t like to be in the news too. I just love to be myself. I don’t try to be any other person but me. I’m a good girl.

About her dressing - I wear 4DD. I’m so blessed. It’s not that I’m out to flaunt it, but it’s just that clothes don’t get to cover it all. It’s not really my fault.

Her fears - I’m afraid of not making heaven and getting old to live alone.
Marital status - 'I’m single, not engaged and I’m waiting for the diamond ring.

A 41-year-old woman, Mrs Catherine Sefunmi Urouna, who allegedly drank a substance suspected to be chemical to protest her husband’s alleged refusal to buy her an iPad device was reported dead.

Her family of five and neighbours were thrown into mourning when they discovered that the deceased who was adjudged to be comfortable in her husband’s house took her life over a minor domestic disagreement.

The motive and cause of her death is however, being probed by the Ondo State police command.

The late Mrs Urouna, who was a mother of two boys and a girl, was buried on Friday. She was a senior executive accounting officer in Akure North local government area in Ondo State.

Although investigations into her death are still on, police sources disclosed to LEADERSHIP Sunday that trouble started when her husband who works in one of the states in the northern part of the country came home as usual to visit the family in Akure and his late wife welcomed him joyfully.

The deceased was said to have served her husband a good meal and thereafter asked him whether he brought the ipad she had earlier pleaded with him to buy for her, but the husband told her quietly that he was yet to buy it.

It was further gathered that he pleaded with his late wife to continue using the Blackberry phone he had earlier bought for her, pending the time he would be able to purchase ipad for her.

The reply of the husband was said to have not gone down well with the late Sefunmi who immediately threatened to kill herself if he would no accede to her request.

But the husband was said to have taken the threat lightly and as the argument persisted, the woman was said to have gone inside her room, took a substance suspected to poisonous chemical and headed for the toilet where she locked herself up.

Unfortunately she was said to have succeeded in drinking the substance before her daughter who saw her locking the door of the toilet and suspected she might want to do something funny because of her mood could reach the place.

Leadership correspondent gathered that when the daughter got there and started knocking at the toilet, there was no response from within.

Recently I was involved in a tweet meet, which focused on exploiting the opportunities in digital media as a career option. As the reach and impact of digital media continues to increase across sectors, the tweet-meet I had yet again brought to the fore, the fact that many are looking for a way to “get in.”

There are several ways to look at the career opportunities. Let us use the ‘3CS’ framework – Channels, Content, Customer experience and stakeholder management – to explore the options.

This framework has a simple explanation – there are digital “channels” (such as websites, mobile applications, social networking sites, etc). Assume that these channels are houses. Every channel needs to be designed, prototyped and developed/built. Digital channels or platforms act as “delivery platforms” to deliver “content”.

“Content” can be in different formats – text, audio, video or a combination of one or more. Content can be created or curated (aggregated from 3rd party sources).

No matter how great a channel is or how interesting its contents are, users/visitors/customers should be able to explore the channel and contents easily. How this experience is delivered and the ease of using the channel is the focus of the “customer experience” part of the framework.

At the end of the day no effective channel is developed or great content created without the input of different people and groups within the organisation. Great digital projects are not simply the outcome of a great team of designers, developers and digital strategists. Others in the organisation can make or mar the success of the project at any stage in the project’s lifecycle. Getting the “stakeholder” bit right might perhaps be the most important part of the framework.

Having introduced the 3CS framework, let’s look at some of the different skill sets that might be needed for each part of the framework.

Channels related skills

These include technical skills needed to design and develop channels. Examples include Web developers, Web application developers, Mobile application developers, Web designers, information architects, Online security specialists, etc.

A lot of good designers and developers I know were self-taught. Anyone can learn any skill if they have the interest, passion and motivation. Opportunities abound everywhere to work on digital projects. It is whether one is willing to pay the price to learn.

Content related skills

I have come to appreciate the role of content in transforming a digital platform from good to great. I strongly believe that great content is not only key but also king. Skills that are centred on content creation, curation or optimisation include, requirements analysis/gathering, copy editing, content strategy, content development, content management, videography, photography, communications, public relations, translation, etc.

Customer experience

The ultimate goal of any digital channel should be to create a seamless experience for its users. Every aspect of the design and development of the channel should focus on making the channel easier to use. Content must be easy to find. Navigation should be built intuitively so that even a “dummy” can find his/her way around the channel.

Few people still use user guides/manuals to operate their new gadgets. Little wonder many of these digital tools no longer come with the manuals any more. Here skills such as usability, Search Engine Optimisation, digital marketing, online research and business intelligence come in very handy.

Stakeholder management skills

The ability to work with and through a cross-functional team within one’s organisation is a critical success factor in digital projects. Possessing skills such as change management, digital strategy, project management, crisis management, customer engagement, community/social media management, employee engagement and product development knowledge help to engender trust and rapport between the core digital team and other groups within the organisation.

Many of these skills would take time, effort and discipline to cultivate but they are achievable. Those seeking careers in the digital space should look at their aptitude, the trends and which skills would be in demand going forward. These may differ based on where you are in the world.

Irrespective of the digital skills you decide to develop, the following are must haves for any serious digital specialist:

Pay attention to details

This cannot be overstated – every little detail matters. There are too many digital projects that are done shoddily with elementary errors in design, development and content. One of the biggest errors is to assume that a digital project ends when the project goes live. From poor requirements gathering, broken links to inaccurate and irrelevant content and insensitive social media posts, there is a critical need for every digital specialist to up the ante.

This would be one of the top three soft skills I recommend that every member of the digital team must have. The sad part of a failure to pay attention to details is that a lot of personal, team and organisational resources are wasted due to the amount of time expended on correcting/reworking the errors.

Does your team pay attention to details? Get others within your organisation to randomly and periodically run a check through your digital channels and identify opportunities for improvement. Then get the team to implement the changes quickly. The digital team needs to improve its housekeeping duties.

Versatility

Every member of the digital team needs to improve his or her general knowledge about things that might impact or be impacted by the digital ecosystem. Digital is synonymous with change and innovation – and that is why everyone involved must take out time to research the products, services and clients of the organisations they represent.

Business communication

Being able to communicate formally using emails, creating reports and making presentations are increasingly important parts of a digital specialist’s toolkit. I have seen many gifted and hardworking digital colleagues struggle to remain relevant in their organisations because they underestimate the importance of reporting their work.

My advice to them has always been, “don’t work hard…work smart!” Don’t wait for your boss to ask for updates…prepare periodic reports with recommendations for improvements and help to implement these improvements. The mark of a proactive digital champion is how s/he “Stands up, steps up and lives up” to the standards.

It was crazy today when Nigeria's reps at the just concluded Big Brother Africa The Chase, Melvin and Beverly arrived at the murtala mohammed airport in Lagos. They were received by a large crowd comprising friends, fans and family. Beverly was in tears and when Melvin came out almost everybody started singing 'Ruby Ruby Ruby'.

Most of them wore #TeamMelvin T-shirts.

I heard the reception was fantastic. And the dinner reception is currently going on.

your beverly was the first woman to be evicted at the finale, that means had it being she was nominated at the early times of the chase, would have been evicted.

After expressing her desires to be the first woman to win the Big Brother grand prize since Zambia's Cherise did so seven seasons ago, Dillish has done it for all of Africa's women!

The gorgeous Namibian started her Chase race as the proverbial underdog and was labeled everything from lazy to a pampered princess. As the Chase rolled on however, Dillish quickly emerged as a very strong contender for the Chase title and won her fellow Housemates and Africa over, with her quirky, accented alter ego, aptly titled Princess Dillish.

The Namibian made sure to stay away from trouble and coasted through the Chase by taking her place behind the scenes. While her fellow Housemates got themselves into hot water, fighting and gossiping their way to what they hoped was the top of the mountain, Dillish remained grounded and maintained cordial relations with her fellow Housemates.

The only time the Namibian got herself in a spot of trouble was when she and her good friend, Nigeria's Melvin, had a disagreement after she told her fellow Housemates about a relationship he was involved in, which was less than stellar. Dillish and Cleo proved to all and sundry that women are indeed a force of nature. The two hotties pipped their male counterparts, Elikem and Melvin to the Top 2 while, as well as their close friend Beverly.

Before the big news was delivered, Pebbles the fish surprised all and sundry with one last speech. "On behalf of myself and the other fish, I would like to congratulate you on your amazing feat. You are the specialest ladies in Africa," Pebbles said.

However, one thing is clear! Tonight is Dillish's night and oh whata moment it was! As soon as the Namibian was announced the winner of the Chase, the Namibian broke down in a heap of tears at the realisation that she has a cool USD 300 000 sitting in her bank account. Yes Africa. She came, she saw and she conquered. In heels even! Congratulations to Delicious Dillish!

Mohammed and Aftab Asghar, 22, were both arrested after DNA evidence was found at the scene which provided a possible link to one, or both, the brothers.


Since identical twins come from the same fertilised egg, they have the same DNA.
Police investigated after a girl aged 17 claimed she was attacked in a park near Reading, Berks, on Guy Fawkes Night 2011.

Detectives decided to charge both men.

Prosecutors have now requested more time to continue investigating lines of inquiry which may lead to only one of the brothers facing trial.

Prosecutor Sandra Beck told Reading crown court: “It is an unusual case. They are identical twins. The allegation is one of rape.

“There is further work due and there is an indication which would tend to support that one was not at the location.’’

No further details were revealed about the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence.

Even though identical twins are born with the same DNA, scientists have discovered that tiny genetic changes can occur to cells early in development, allowing for differences as twins grow older.

The question is who committed the crime, please we need your comments and kindly comment on the blog page http://amadibethel..com/2013/08/identical-twins-charged-with-rape-since.html.

t’s been two years since the relationship started between the two love birds, though they were able to hide it from the public eye for more than a year...but before we could settle with their love story, information had just emerged now that they have separated....choi....too bad!

According to Linda Ikeji :

Monalisa Chinda and Lanre Nzeribe have called it quit and this is authoritative. According to sources close to the actress, Monalisa walked out of the relationship about a month ago.

Why they really broke up is of course only known to both of them but there has been a lot of disagreement about a business venture they were to start together.

Monalisa and Lanre were working on a magazine called Monalisa before their break up. They already got an office at Chase Mall on Adetokunbo Ademola street in VI, employed staff and even worked on the first edition of the mag before they went their separate ways.

No fewer than 23 teenage girls have been feared killed within the last one year through the use of native concoction for abortion.

Leadership Friday reliably gathered that teenage girls within some communities in Agbor, Kwale, Isoko North and South who became pregnant and were desperate to do away with the pregnancies, sought the help of local doctors, who prepared and administered the herbal concoctions, which ended up costing them their lives, most times.

Although security agents have arrested several native doctors in the areas over their use of the portions in terminating pregnancies, the increasing number of deaths arising from intake of the portions nw poses serious threats to the free medical health services introduced by the administration of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, especially for pregnant women.

Leadership checks revealed that teenage girls between 15 and 16years of age, who have dropped out of school because of the unwanted pregnancies, are seen hanging around communities in Isoko, Kwale, Agbor and Asaba communities, waiting for ‘remedies’ from the native doctors.

The police, through its spokesman, ASP Lucky Uyabeme, have warned that it will no longer be business as usual for the “quacks” who specialise in preparing the concoction for some of the girls, and encouraging them to take them.

A native doctor who refused to give his name revealed that did not want his name in the print, said: “We give them concoction when the pregnancy is just two months and warn them against misuses”. But further investigations revealed that these girls find difficult to check into hospitals, because they fear that they might be ridiculed and arrested.

Meanwhile, sources have revealed that native doctors across the state have allegedly taken to provision of love portions, for desperate young men who wish to have fun with unsuspecting teenage girls of their choice. The charms, the sources revealed, go for between N10, 000 and N15, 000.

Television star Wentworth Miller announced he was gay on Wednesday in order to take a public stand against homophobia in Russia.


The Prison Break star declined an invitation to a Russian film festival after the country passed a series of anti-gay laws.

The 41-year-old Prison Break star had been asked to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival.

'As a gay man, I must decline,' he wrote in his reply, which was made public by the campaigning group GLAAD.

'I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government,' Wentworth added in his letter.

'The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly,' he said.

Wentworth said if circumstances improved he would be free to make a different choice - adding that he had 'a degree of Russian ancestry' and had enjoyed past visits to the country previously.

The actor was immediately praised by gay rights advocates.

'Wentworth's bold show of support sends a powerful message to LGBT Russians, who are facing extreme violence and persecution: you are not alone,' said GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz in reference to the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

'As people from across the globe continue to speak out against Russia's horrific law, more celebrities and corporations should follow his courageous lead in openly condemning Russia's anti-LGBT law,' he added.

A former Maryland college student who told authorities he killed a man and ate his heart and parts of his brain has pleaded guilty but not criminally responsible to murder.

Alex Kinyua, 22, entered the plea Monday morning in Harford County Circuit Court.

He is charged with first-degree murder in the May 2012 death of a family friend who had been staying with Kinyua's family in Joppatowne, a Baltimore suburb.

Kinyua told investigators he had eaten the heart and brain of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, according to charging documents.

Kinyua, a U.S. citizen originally from Kenya, admitted using a knife to kill and carve up Agyei-Kodie before eating his organs, the Harford County Sheriff's Office said.

He has been committed to the health department.

Judge Stephen Waldron said he had concerns about accepting the plea, but had to accept psychiatrists' determinations that Kinyua could not be held criminally responsible.

Authorities say Kinyua ranted about "human sacrifices" on Facebook before the slaying.

In a separate case, Kinyua pleaded guilty but not criminally responsible in a baseball bat attack at Morgan State University, where he had been a student.

The victim in that case was left blinded by the attack. He said last year that he believed Kinyua may have been planning to eat his organs, too.

Wizkid again showed the other side of him when he engaged a fan after he (Wizkid) was corrected for his bad English.

The incident has now resulted into a pile of insults on the singer who some described as 'proud and spoil brat' even though some of his ardent fans solidly stood behind their star.

Wizkid had posted a photograph on his Instagram page and noted that he was supposed to perform at a wedding but had 'an hangover' instead of 'a hangover'.

A fan called his attention to the error and said, "naxxo u gbagaun for music sef #20man smh tho... c d reason y u shld get back 2 sch. lol. A furious Wizkid then replied, "broke people always think they have an opinion."

Some have wondered why Wizkid would call someone poor or broke because he's a music star, who got rich through the hard-earned money of some of these fans he's calling 'broke'.

A police officer, Mr. Raphael Ezechi, told a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, at the resumed hearing in the killings of four University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, students in October 2012 in Omuokiri, Aluu community, that a dog was used to torture the students before they were set on fire.

Mr. Ezechi of the State Criminal Investigative Department and a Deputy Superintendent of Police, led in evidence by the Solicitor-General of Rivers, Mr. Rufus Godwins, narrated that “a team of policemen from Isiokpo Division was dispatched to the scene of the incident to rescue the students but due to the distance, the students were set ablaze before the arrival of the police.”

The witness, said he took photographs of the deceased and a dog, said to have been used to torture the students, adding that information was also gathered from the Internet which were recorded.

The defence counsel, however, objected to the prosecution’s move to tender the photo evidence as exhibits, contending that the police officer was not the maker of the said documents.

The defence argued that no proper foundation had been laid for the admissibility of the photographs, urging the court to reject same.

Responding, Mr. Godwins, the prosecution counsel said that the foundation was laid from records of proceedings by the court and urged the dismissal of the objection, which he described as misconceived by the defence.

Jackson Kiruga stood as if in a daze. It was alleged that on july 24th this year, in mihuti village, in nyeri county he engaged in an unnatural act with a friesian cow belonging to his neighbour.


The owner of the cow, Ann Wanjiru who was present during the ruling said on the material day she had woken up at 5.00 am to milk her cow, only to find her neighbour Kiruga in the shed, engaging in the act with the Friesian. Kiruga pleaded guilty.

In mitigation, he stated that he had been under stress as his father had passed away recently and his mother needed him to manage their coffee farm. He also claimed that his status as a bachelor led him to commit the act.

Jackson has been sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Several cases of bestiality have been reported across the country in recent weeks. In the same court, a 52-year old father of six was sentenced to life imprisonment for defiling his 8-year old daughter.

Chris Brown took to Twitter on Tuesday to tell the world that he plans to quit music after the release of "X," his upcoming LP.

The R&B singer said he's "tired of being famous for a mistake" he made when he was 18, referencing when he assaulted Rihanna.

Both Brown, who has had a string of other post-assault altercations and incidents on his rap sheet, and the music industry, which has promoted and booked Brown since shortly after the assault, have faced near constant criticism since the horrific event that took place before the 2009 Grammys

.Brown's tweets have been littered with inspirational messages as of late. "I'm not a performer nor do I have to be," he said in one tweet. "We are all children pretending to be gods!"

"Aspire to be great and the person you wanna be," he wrote in another. "Don't conform because [your] worth is more than any money or status. We live. We die."

"X," Brown's sixth studio album, is out in stores on Aug. 20. It's worth noting that plenty of other performers have claimed they were retiring before, including Jay Z, who returned in 2006 following a three-year hiatus that he later admitted was "the worst retirement in history."

*Deceased’s last words: Please don’t abandon my daughter…

Never in his wildest imagination had Bright , a barber in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, envisaged he was going to be added to the endless list of hapless Nigerians sent to unprepared graves by trigger- happy policemen.

The barber whose saloon also served as his home, is a single father whose dream had been centred on training her two- and- half years old daughter, to the best school within his reach. But he never lived to fulfil his dream.


Bright, as gathered, had opened his saloon cum home penultimate Tuesday. As usual, he reportedly bathed his baby identified as Ebun, prepared her food and kept her under his watch when customers came in to have their hair cut.

But, the unexpected happened at about 10.30pm. According to eye witnesses, a mobile policeman attached to a company, poles away from Janet Fagbemi street, location of Bright’s shop, stormed the shop and ordered Bright to come out.

Eye witnesses told Crime Guard that Bright, who was then attending to a customer, left him and came out, oblivious of the purpose of the policeman’s mission. “As he stepped out of the shop, the Mopol shot him at close range . He continued shooting sporadically in the process of which four other persons including a pregnant woman were hit by stray bullets. From all indications, it was obvious he was drunk.

“It all started after the policeman who was on a short and T-shirt abandoned his duty post and accosted some men in a vehicle on the adjourning street. He told the men in the car to come down for a search. But they hesitated, requesting he identified himself before they would obey.

“Perhaps, their response infuriated him as he slapped one of them twice. While they were still trying to fathom what their offence was, he slapped the second man.

“Amidst frayed nerves, the men demanded to ascertain the identity of the man who assaulted them. At that point, the Mopol rushed to his duty post and came back with his gun, saying he would show them that he was just posted from Jos, Plateau,where people are killed anyhow. At that point everyone took to his heels before he went to Bright’s shop.”

How bullet hit pregnant woman

“A pregnant woman known as Ebere was in her house when she heard the gun shots. Suspecting robbers were operating, she rushed out to lock her gate , only for a stray bullet to hit her on the hand. Another victim, Nonso, was hit in the eye while the third, Tayo,was hit in the thigh”.

Bright’s last word

Crime Guard gathered that while everyone fled, Bright was left in the pool of his blood. On realising the magnitude of his deed, the Mobile policeman, later identified as Corporal Mohammed Abubakar, attached to Mopol 17, Ondo State, took to his heels.”

Even in the face of death Bright was said to have kept calling his daughter Ebun, pleading to sympathizers to rush inside his shop to ensure she was safe. When it was obvious he could not make it, he reportedly touched one of the sympathiser and said, “ please help me take care of my daughter until any of my relatives comes for her. He was said to have repeated the word twice. When he was making attempt to repeat it the third time to a neighbour he recognized in the midst of the crowd, he gave up the ghost.

“ He held my hand and appealed passionately saying, ‘please don’t abandon Ebun, no matter…’ before he breathed his last,”the neighbour disclosed.

Where are the deceased’s relatives?

As at Thursday, Crime Guard was informed that no one had come to be identified as the deceased relative.

A resident of the area revealed that “ Ebun was only six months old when her mother abandoned her. Nobody knows her mother’s name nor where she is from. We only know the deceased as Bright. We do not know his surname. He told us he was from Benue State. He did everything within his might to make Ebun happy since the mother left. He called her his little princess and carried her wherever he went.

When Crime Guard visited Ebun’s new home around the vicinity , she was seen carrying on with life unaware of her father’s whereabouts.But once in a while, her new parents said, “she would start calling out to her daddy . At that point, nobody can console her because she would be crying and at the same time, going about the whole place like one looking for what was lost. She has emaciated over night,even though we try to persuade her to eat what we all eat.”

The news currently making headlines in the entertainment world is Beyonce’s new haircut. It would seem that Queen Bey has had enough of her long locks which have an annoying tendency of getting stuck in fans during performances.

So she went ahead, chopped her glorious mane and posted her new look on Instagram.

But why would a petty thing such as a haircut make so much buzz?

Well Beyonce has continued to have influence on millions of ladies all over the world and Kenya has been no exception. A while back when she stepped out with box braids tied in a high bun, the trend spread like wild fire on our Nairobi streets.

It is only a matter of time before your girlfriends, wives, mistresses start cutting their hair short...and it is not a cheap look to maintain.

Truth is many ladies adore Beyonce and some go to great lengths to ape her every look.

So dont be surprised when this pixie haircut becomes the next trend in Nigeria.
