CrimeSecurity Guard And His Accomplice Jailed For Attempting To Poison Employer by baskem(op): 5:16pm On Nov 02, 2011
A security guard, Genesis Anthony and his accomplice, Victor Jegede, on Tuesday jointly bagged five years imprisonment for attempting to poison their employer and steal his money.

Mrs Folake Davies-Abegunde of the Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, said that the sentences were without option of fine. In her ruling, the magistrate said that Anthony should spend four years in prison while his accomplice, Jegede should serve a year behind bars. She, however, took into cognizance the one year Jegede had spent in detention and ruled that he had served his sentence by virtue of “the time he stayed in custody“.

She described the crime of the convicts as “wicked and inhuman”. “Both of you are serious threats to the society and since you have failed to convince the court otherwise, you are hereby sentenced accordingly,” she said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Anthony and Jegede had at their arraignment on August 6, 2010, pleaded not guilty to a four-count charge. The charges included conspiracy, intent to poison another person, threat to life, unlawful damage and escape from lawful custody.

The prosecutor, Sgt Peter Nwangwu, said that the accused committed the offences at No. 1, Abraham Adesanya Estate, Ogombo area of Lagos, when they planned to poison one Aruwaji Adedipe, their employer. Nwangwu told the court that the accused, sometime in August 2010, conspired to eliminate Adedipe by adding to his meal some powdery substance suspected to be poison, with the aid of his housemaid.

“Anthony, having got wind of his boss’ possession of some hard currencies, conspired with Jegede to eliminate him with the help of their housemaid and steal the money. “Unfortunately for them, the housemaid— identified as Mary— refused to cooperate and she reported the matter to the estate’s security personnel. “The two conspirators were then arrested and charged to court. “But while in police custody Jegede destroyed his cell’s burglary proof in an attempt to escape,” the prosecutor said.

Nwangwu had said that their offences contravened Sections 337, 86, 451, 135 and 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State, 2003.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Do Employers Ask For Payslip Or Bank Statement Of Account? by baskem(f): 2:36pm On Nov 02, 2011
I dont think any employer will ever request for bank statement. payslips, yes, and not all employer as rightly explained by previous comments.

and for future job applications adhere 1forall's advice:

1forall:
Honesty is usually a safer approach. Better to negotiate for an increase than lose a job offer based on issues of integrity.

CelebritiesLindsay Lohan To Be Sentenced To Jail by baskem(op): 1:26pm On Nov 02, 2011
According to RadarOnline, Lindsay Lohan is ready to be sentenced to jail in court on Wednesday morning in connection with a probation violation, and will "face it with spirit, courage and strength".

The judge handling Lohan's probation violation matter, has indicated that she is ready to sentence the actress to approximately 30 days behind bars. "Lindsay is an extremely strong individual, and is going to do whatever she has to do in order to move on with her life. She is a gifted artist, a compassionate individual and a loyal person who is true to herself. Whatever happens today, she will face it with spirit, courage and strength," Lindsay's Representative, Steve Honig tells RadarOnline.

Lindsay will formally admit to the probation violation at the LAX Airport Courthouse, for failure to appear on multiple occasions at her court ordered community service at the Downtown Women’s Center in connection with her theft case. If Sautner does sentence LiLo to 30 days in jail, the Mean Girls star, 25, will likely serve about 6-7 days because of jail overcrowding. Sources connected to the case tell RadarOnline LiLo won't be allowed to serve her sentence under house arrest.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=794948.msg9465180#msg9465180 date=1320235012]Please refer to the bold, you already answered your question.  She is jobless therefore she has more time to act on those intimate desires.  If she was working beside laying at home all day she wouldn't have the need to curb her boredom.  You are working many hours and it is natural for your body to rest.  She is being inconsiderate with your well being and because she is bored that you must fulfill with round the clock joy.  It is your responsibility to maintain the home as the man (I am sure you guys confirmed the roles in the house beforehand) and making sure things goes accordingly.  

If she continue to stress you then I am sure naturally you will seek refuge. (I am not saying you will but let be realistic)

If she was working a full shift, taking care children, keeping the home, running errands and still have the desire to hump everyday and all day.  You better run!  Real talk.[/quote]@op this is ur answer here

CelebritiesKim Kardashian Has Finally Spoken! - Released A Statement On Her Blog! by baskem(op): 10:39am On Nov 02, 2011
The day after filing for divorce from Kris Humphries, her husband of only 72 days, Kim released a statement on her blog on Tuesday addressing all of the divorce drama.

“A Message To My Fans”
“This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time. I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it’s hard not to see all the negative ones.

First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show! I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision.

“But it’s who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. These were all real moments. That’s what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open! “Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul.

I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people.

“I’m being honest here and I hope you respect my courage because this isn’t easy to go through. But I do know that I have to follow my heart. I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn’t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for.

“There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation. I’m sorry if I have hurt anyone, but my dad always told me to follow my heart and I believe now that I really am.”
CelebritiesSerena Williams Locked In Panic Room Over Drug Test Mix-up by baskem(op): 10:31am On Nov 02, 2011
According to TMZ,
Serena Williams went into total lockdown last week -- fleeing to a panic room inside her L.A. mansion after security cameras picked up a suspected intruder ,  but it was all a case of mistaken identity.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Serena's assistant called 911 around 6AM last Wednesday, reporting a possible burglar or prowler. It was so serious, we're told Serena retreated to her panic room for safe keeping in case things got dangerous.
But we're told, it was a false alarm -- the person on Serena's security camera was a random drug tester for an unspecified tennis association, stopping by Serena's pad unannounced for some pee.

Police rushed to the scene after the 911 call, but quickly figured out the mistake. It's unclear if Serena eventually submitted to a pee test. Attempts to reach her reps were unsuccessful.
HealthToddler's Remarkable Recovery After Seven-hour Operation To Break His Skull Open by baskem(op): 10:21am On Nov 02, 2011
A toddler born with a rare defect has made an incredible recovery after surgeons were forced to break his skull open and piece it back together. 

Harry Woods was born with craniosynostosis - a condition where the skull plates fuse together before birth. He underwent a gruelling seven-hour operation at Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital shortly before his first birthday where doctors cut open his skull and reshaped it.

Parents, Louise, 32, and Phil, 40, from County Durham, are now delighted that there little one is on the road to recovery. Mrs Woods said: 'Harry was born at South Tyneside District Hospital a very healthy, normal baby boy. 'Unfortunately, after a few follow-up appointments, we were told that the fontanelles on his skull couldn't be located and more checks would be required. 'In November 2010, we were told our son had saggital craniosynostosis, where the top part of his skull had fused together. 'This was causing both his skull and his brain to grow the wrong way.'

Harry was sent to the specialist craniofacial unit at Alder Hey, one of only four in the country, for assessment in January this year. Mrs Woods, an administrator, added: 'We were told an operation was required to open his head, remove the top of the skull, have it broken up and put back together again in a way that would allow the brain to grow normally without any pressure.' 

Harry, now 19-months-old, had the operation in April this year, which his parents describe as the 'longest seven hours of their lives.'

20-Year-Old Woman Claims Justin Bieber Is Father Of Her Baby, Files Paternity Lawsuit

Teen pop icon Justin Bieber got a 20-year-old Californian woman pregnant during a backstage tryst and admitted it was his "first time," she claims in a sensational lawsuit obtained exclusively by Star magazine.

Mariah Yeater filed court papers saying that her sexual encounter with the "Baby" hit-maker occurred on October 25 of last year, after he performed to a sold-out crowd at L.A.'s Staples Center. The woman has filed a bombshell paternity suit against Bieber, alleging he is the father of her three-month-old baby.

In a hand-signed affidavit, sworn under the penalty of perjury, Yeater wrote that a security guard working for Bieber approached her and "asked if I wanted to meet Justin Bieber" before whisking her backstage. She was 19, at the time. "After waiting for a short period of time with several young women, Justin Bieber appeared and engaged me in conversation,"

CelebritiesKris Humphries' Family Says Kim Is Making A Massive Mistake by baskem(op): 12:13am On Nov 02, 2011
As reported by TMZ, Kris Humphries' family has been crushed by Kim Kardashian's decision to end their marriage -- telling friends, the reality star is making a massive "mistake" for giving up on Kris so soon.

Sources close to Kris' family tell TMZ, everyone knew there was tension in the relationship -- but they never imagined divorce was on the table. As one source put it, "Everyone fights." The Humphries believe Kim is making a huge "mistake" -- insisting she never gave the marriage a fighting chance , and should have tried harder to make things work.

That said, Kris' family still believes he can salvage his marriage and talk Kim down off the ledge, convincing her to slam the brakes on divorce proceedings.

According to sources, Kris' family loves Kim and they're hoping beyond hope the divorce doesn't go through -- particularly because "it would kill Kris" if it was really the end.
