A Saudi millionaire has been cleared of raping a teenager after claiming he might have accidentally penetrated the 18-year-old when he tripped and fell.

Property developer Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was accused of forcing himself on the young woman as she slept off a night of drinking on the sofa in his plush flat in Maida Vale, west London.

He had already had sex with her 24-year-old friend and said he might have fallen on top of the teenager while his penis was poking out the top of his underwear.

Married father-of-one Mr Abdulaziz was cleared of one count of rape following a trial at Southwark Crown Court.

The women met Mr Abdulaziz in the exclusive Cirque le Soir nightclub in the West End on 7 August last year.

Mr Abdulaziz, who had known the 24-year-old for around seven months, invited the friends to join him at his private £1,000-a-night table and bought both women a round of drinks.

He later offered them a ride home in his Aston Martin.

He had paid £1,000 for a private table in the club, and had bought both the girls a round of drinks.

The three went back to his apartment, where he offered them vodka before taking the 24-year-old into the bedroom for sex.

The teenager claimed she woke in the early hours of the morning to find Mr Abdulaziz on top of her, forcing himself inside her.

Outlining the case at the start of the trial last week, Jonathan Davies, prosecuting, had told the court: 'She said "what are you doing?" he said "it's fine" indicating that her friend was asleep. She got up to find her friend, tried to wake her but couldn't, she then tried to get out of the flat as quickly as she could.

about her journey to music stardom in an

Rick Ross has popped the question to girlfriend
Lira Mercer, and she said yes.
The MMG boss may have caught the love bug
from label mate Meek Mill, making him propose
to the model.
The engagement comes as a little bit of a
surprise, as rumors of their relationship only
began swirling barely 6 months ago. Something
may have been brewing far longer, as Mercer
had tweeted way back in 2012 that she wanted
to marry the BMF rapper.

Ima Marry Rick Ross My fat boy lol

The corruption scandal at the Federation of
International Football Associations (FIFA)
continues to produce new culprits everyday.
The latest is secretary-general Jerome Valcke,
who was on Thursday suspended and relieved of
his duties by the body.
A FIFA statement read: “FIFA today announced
that its Secretary General
Jerome Valcke has been put on leave and
released from his duties effective immediately
until further notice. Further, FIFA has been
made aware of a series of allegations involving
the Secretary General and has requested a
formal investigation by the FIFA Ethics
Committee.”
Valcke was alleged to have colluded with a firm
with sold tickets at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in
Brazil, JB Sports Marketing, to sell tickets on
the black market for 3 times their prices.
Valcke has already denied the allegations,
through a statement by his lawyers.

While the persecution continues to get Oscar
Pistorius tried again for murder, his lawyer is
trying to get the new trial cancelled.
Pistorius’ lawyer, Barry Roux, argued to the
South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal that a
new trial would too long.
According to Roux, the reliability and
objectivity of another trial would be
contaminated by the overwhelming public
scrutiny that followed the first hearing.
Roux also added that the first trial had left the
paralympic athlete financially drained, and thus
couldn’t afford a new trial.
Another of his arguments was that Pistorius
had already been cleared of murder on the same
evidence that the prosecution was going to
present again. The persecution had been
unhappy with Oscar Pistorius being punished for
culpable homicide, and keep trying to get him
jailed for murder.
The Court of Appeal will make its decision
known in November.

Popular Yoruba actor, Bolaji Amusan, otherwise
called Mr. Latin, has said his craft is unrivalled
in the Yoruba comedy genre.
The actor stated this while debunking claim that
his other business concerns and engagements
have taken the shine off his acting.
He said, ‘‘I still maintain my role as number one
in Yoruba comedy, producing movies and acting
as well. I am only encouraging the younger
generation to exhibit their talents too. It is
also the same thing in fuji music, as Wasiu
Ayinde allows the young ones to be on the
stage.’’
The comedian added that a week ago, he acted
in a new movie by Odunlade Adekola, titled, Ade
ori, billed to be released soon.
Besides, he said, ‘‘I just finished the
production of my movie titled, Double Double.
So, I still act, and I have not abandoned the
profession for any other business.’’
At the moment, Mr. Latin is busy with the
logistics of the fifth edition of the annual Mr.
Latin Foundation. The event is expected to be
graced by dignitaries from all walks of life who
will, on Sunday, converge on the main
auditorium of the Olusegun Obasanjo
Presidential Library Complex in Oke Mosan,
Abeokuta, Ogun State.
This year’s edition of the event will
commemorate the United Nation’s International
Day of Peace observed around the world on
September 21 of every year.
With the theme, ‘No alternative to peace,’ the
programme promises to feature speakers, such
as the Foundation Board Chairman of the West
African Network for Peace building in Nigeria,
Prof. Isaac Albert.
It will also be chaired by a former Deputy
Director of the European Peace University,
Austria, Prof. Rasheed Akinyemi.

The result of Kogi West senatorial
district election was falsified by officials of the
Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, to favour Senator Dino Melaye, the
candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC,
the National Assembly
Election Petition Tribunal heard yesterday.
Mr. Feinti Dada, who was the first witness
called by Senator Smart Adeyemi, the candidate
of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the
election, said the poll was fraught with
irregularities in 21 units of five wards in
Lokoja Local Government Area of the state.
Dada was the agent of Senator Adeyemi in the
election which INEC declared in favour of
Senator Melaye. Dada, who was first led in
evidence by the petitioner’s counsel, Chief
Lateef Fagbemi, said under cross examination by
the respondent’s counsel, Francis Ani, that the
result of the recount ordered by the tribunal
showed that INEC recorded voided votes during
the election in favour of Melaye.
Dada further told the tribunal that the APC
never held a primary election before Melaye
emerged as the candidate of the party, adding
that some members of the APC went to court to
challenge the emergence of Melaye as there was
no primary.
He added that documentary evidence from INEC
backed the claim that Melaye did not go through
primary.
However, when counsel to INEC, Salako Adeolu,
rose to cross examine the witness, Adeyemi’s
counsel, Fagbemi, SAN, objected, arguing that
since the commission withdrew its response to
the petition, it should not cross examine Dada.
Fagbemi, who noted that INEC was given the
opportunity to defend itself but chose to throw
away the opportunity, prayed the tribunal not
to allow the cross examination by INEC counsel.
But Salako told the court that since spurious
and damaging allegations were levelled against
the commission, he should be allowed to cross
examine the witness, saying the only option
available to the court was to strike out the
petition.
The tribunal in its ruling, however, said as far
as INEC was a party in the case, it had the
right to cross examine the witness but could not
call any witness on its own, since it (INEC) had
withdrawn its response to the petitioner’s
motion.”

Nick Has Got A Beer Factory Inside Of Him Nick Hess has rare auto-brewery syndrome, this means carbohydrates ferment into alcohol inside him. The 35-year-old who gets drunk after eating potatoes tells BBC Two’s World’s Weirdest Events how his wife was convinced that he was a secret alcoholic. Before he found out about his condition, worried wife Karen filmed his slurring and stumbling, which he did not recall. “When she first accused me of being drunk, without drinking, I thought she was crazy.” Nick said. “But friends and family thought, ‘maybe he is over there, drinking by himself, a secret alcoholic’.” He added. On watching the footage made of him by his wife, he said: “I looked into my eyes and could see I wasn’t there. It was terrifying, I couldn’t remember it.” Doctors eventually discovered Nick has auto-brewery syndrome, plus yeast levels 400% higher than normal. He now controls it with a carb-free diet and medication.

Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has
revealed in a new interview that she’s not easy
to get.
Bimbo said: –
“I simply tell them to go away and live their
lives. I’ve got no time for them. See, I’m not
the type of lady that you can call on the phone
and I will come and meet you or send a message
on the Facebook or other social media platforms
and I will come and meet you. I don’t do it.”
“I explain to people that it’s not done, it’s
ridiculous and it’s not allowed. I don’t do it,
except you want to jump in front of my car
(laughs), you are not going to catch me to tell
me nonsense.” she added.

An animal-loving couple have invited 30
creatures to celebrate their wild wedding with
them, Rugby, Warwickshir, England, UK.
Groom Paul Freakley and bride Janet Still, both
crazy animal lovers, decided to make their big
day even more special by inviting snakes,
scorpions, meerkats, tarantula spiders,
raccoons, foxes, owls and other wild
guests. Human guests were also absolutely
amused with the surprise an inventive couple
prepared for them.
Speaking about the ‘zoo’-themed wedding Paul
said:
“It’s just something a bit different really. We
went to a few weddings last year and
sometimes it can be a bit dull waiting for the
speeches, so we thought this would be a great
idea to solve that problem. It’s a really good
way for people to get to know each other and
enjoy the day because I think people are
always naturally interested in animals. But it
was a complete surprise and only a few people
other than us knew that the animals were going
to be there.”
However, the wildlife experts spoke out against
the event and exploiting exotic animals for
entertainment.
One of them said:
“ The animals hired for such stunts are carted
from one venue to another, not knowing
what to expect, and some live between events
in small cages. Animals are disturbed by travel
and a change of environment, and are afraid of
loud music and being around a lot of
strangers.”

The Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, Sitting in Abuja on Wednesday, struck out an application by Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party, seeking stay of execution of an order permitting the All Progressives Congress and its candidate in the April 11, 2015 election, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, to inspect the documents used for the conduct of the poll.
Dakuku and the APC had filed their petition before the Justice Mua’zu Pindiga-led tribunal to challenge the Independent National Electoral Commission’s declaration of Wike, candidate of the PDP, as the winner of the April 11 poll, which the petitioners contended was marred by electoral fraud and irregularities.
Meanwhile, the Justice Mu’azu Pindiga-led tribunal also in a separate ruling on Wednesday, dismissed an application by Dakuku and the APC, seeking an order directing the Independent National Electoral Commission to transfer the electoral materials from Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, to Abuja for easy inspection.

The petitioners also lost another application seeking an order of the tribunal directing that all notices of preliminary objection already filed and intended to be filed by the respondents should only be allowed to be raised in their final written addresses after the hearing of the petition.


In refusing the petitioners’ application, Justice Pindiga held that the application had been overtaken by events since some of such notices of preliminary objection had already been heard.
In all, the tribunal on Tuesday delivered five rulings on separate interlocutory applications filed by parties to the petition. None of the applications was granted by the tribunal.
The rest of the applications which the tribunal refused to grant on Wednesday included the one by the INEC, seeking an order striking out the reply of the petitioners to its own response to the petition.
The other motion was by Wike asking the Justice Pindiga-led tribunal to strike out the witness statements on oath of the respondents and the other by Wike.
The tribunal held that the two applications by INEC and Wike would be entertained during hearing of the main petition.
Wike, had through his counsel, Mr. Emmanuel Ukala (SAN), predicated his application for stay of execution of the order of inspection of electoral materials on the grounds that he had appealed against the June 11, 2015 ruling in which the order was made.
In striking out Wike’s application on Wednesday, the tribunal held that the application was deemed abandoned since his lawyer, Ukala, chose to “dilly dally” when given the opportunity to move it on Monday.
“The motion is deemed abandoned. He (Ukala) preferred to dilly dally with the case. It is our considered view that in the circumstance, the motion will not be determined on merit and same is hereby struck out,” Justice Pindiga ruled.
In dismissing the petitioners’ application filed by their counsel, Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN), seeking order directing INEC to move the electoral materials from Port Harcourt to Abuja, the tribunal ruled that granting the prayer would amount to varying the ruling of June 11, 2015, when there was no application for such variation before the tribunal.
The tribunal added that the provisions of section 151 of the Electoral Act, Order 25, Rule 8 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules , paragraph 41(1)of the 1st Schedule to the Electoral Act and section 36 of the Constitution cited by Wike and APC’s lawyer were not applicable to their application.
“This application is considered at large and it is hereby dismissed,” Justice Pindiga ruled.
The tribunal adjourned till August 24 for hearing of another application by Wike.

Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid.

WHAT SHOULD BE ON A BUSINESS CARD
A business card typically includes
a. The giver's name,
b. Company or business affiliation (usually with a logo)
c. Contact information such as addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website.
d. Social media addresses such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

WHO NEEDS A BUSINESS CARD?
Everybody.

IMPORTANCE OF A BUSINESS CARD

Are you guilty of being caught empty-handed when someone requested your card? Have you recently asked for someone else’s card, only to be told they were out?

Although typing in someone’s phone number and email is common enough, the chances of actually initiating follow-up contact without a printed card reminder are greatly reduced. When you put someone’s card into your purse, wallet, or pocket, you will at some point have to remove it. That recollection (and the avoidance of having to ask yourself, “What was his/her name?”) has inherent value. In a world where we may be in contact with dozens of varied people throughout a day, a ‘paper trail’ helps you to remain memorable.

The reasons to keep a printed business card on your person at all times are numerous:

1) Business Cards Portray Your Personal Brand

The style of your card’s design immediately reinforces the impression you make upon personally meeting someone.

2) Cards Are Adaptable

Depending on your line of work and the purpose of your card, it’s possible to use the back to market yourself/business. Similarly, QR codes can easily be printed on a card, bringing paper into the digital age. By scanning the code with a phone, your website or social media campaign can be instantly accessed through the physical card. Scores of QR code generators exist on the web and are simple to utilize.

3) Timelessness Matters

Even if one generation begins to move away from a means of communication, there is still value in catering to those who prefer traditional means. Business cards are still valuable (even when exchanged between techie 20-somethings), but they’re certainly a necessity when interacting with older potential clients and employers. In some situations, not carrying a card and relying solely on digital contact exchanges could be viewed as unprofessional and a sign of unpreparedness.

There are fringe benefits to business cards as well. In busy work/social environments, it can be difficult to remember every person’s name as you mingle and converse. Exchanging cards lets you steal a subtle glance for a reminder, allowing for a warm farewell, by name, when it’s time to part ways.

Finally, the same reasons for you to carry a card apply to your own decisions about the people you choose to work with. Do you really want to hire an accountant whose card looks sloppy and disorganized?

Think of your business card as an extension of your own professional attitude. Use it to convey your experience and capabilities, and hand them out with pride.

Do you have your business card on you right now?

Final Tip: Try not to print your Card with glossy paper because the person you exchanged the card with might like to inscribe a note for remembrance

32year old Yvonne Adkins, left her sickly 3-month-old baby, Chantelle lying in a baby rocker and went to indulge in a nine-hour sex romp with a man she met at a bus stop. She awoke the next morning to find her baby dead in her rocker with no blanket or bed clothes.

Adkins who pleaded guilty to child cruelty was given 18
months in prison, suspended for two years.
Judge David Fletcher who presided over the case said;
"Your desire to engage in some sexual activity with
someone you hardly knew resulted in you leaving your
child downstairs when you knew it was not appropriate to
do that. You made a catastrophic decision that you will
have to live with for the rest of your life."

“In this landmark year, as leaders prepare to adopt a bold new vision for sustainable development, the engagement of youth is more valuable than ever. At this critical moment in history, I call on young people to demand and foster the dramatic progress so urgently needed in our world.” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

The UN considers youth as young people aged between 17-35yrs,

The theme of International Youth Day, 12 August 2015, is “Youth Civic Engagement.” The engagement and participation of youth is essential to achieve sustainable human development. Yet often the opportunities for youth to engage politically, economically and socially are low or non-existent. There has been recent increasing attention and policy and programming focus on youth civic engagement by governments, UN entities, regional and multilateral organizations, CSOs, youth and researchers.

I will just point out Two major issues

1. POLITICALLY
Leaders of Tomorrow? I think that word should be totally scrapped out I believe I'm not the only one who knows that our leaders of tomorrow are being recycled. I'll just pick two individuals and we go back and think the rest.

A) ROBERT MUGABE born 21 February 1924 (age 91)
Prime Minister 18 April 1980 – 22 December 1987
President of Zimbabwe 22 December 1987 till date

I believe a whole lot of Zimbabwe youth has given up the Leaders of Tomorrow Cliché

B) Sen. David Alechenu B. Mark born April 1948 (age 67)
Governor of Niger State January 1984 – 1986
Senator for Benue South In office May 1999 – till date

The question then becomes are youths not capable of decision making? Are we just good to be used as violence materials??

Meanwhile Somewhere in the UK

Mhairi Black: Member of the United Kingdom Parliament
for Paisley and Renfrewshire South Incumbent
Born 12 September 1994 (age 20)

2. ECONOMICALLY
"The word Youth in Nigeria is fast becoming Synonymous to Unemployment"
It is no doubt that youths occupy a majority of every populace mostly termed "The Work Force".
The fact here is that the Work Force is a commodity in the Labour Market
The Labour Market now really is an issue, I will use a simple scenario. I have been going through job adverts and the trend is "A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS EXPERIENCE" then the question then is where will the 2years experience come from when everybody wants to employ candidates with two years experience? Is that not marginalisation of youths?
The greatest inventors in Africa are Youths and they are indeed successful in it.

FINALLY, The Way Forward:
The Nigerian economy is diversifying thus strength are channelled to various sectors what should we do?

I) A FORUM
Government, NGO's, Corporate Bodies, Communities, Individuals should engage a forum where youths should seat and discuss and truth ideas would be built to reality

Ii) VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is something that has been closing the gap between theories (school work) and practical (Experience), it also gives the opportunity of Mentoring

Iii) ENGAGE in Entrepreneurial Activities
Stop putting yourself in a position of pity. Do something it might be fish farming, poultry, bead making, photography, e.t.c. But the secret to its success is understanding the need of your environ and perseverance.

“In this landmark year, as leaders prepare to adopt a bold new vision for sustainable development, the engagement of youth is more valuable than ever. At this critical moment in history, I call on young people to demand and foster the dramatic progress so urgently needed in our world.” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

The UN considers youth as young people aged between 17-35yrs,

The theme of International Youth Day, 12 August 2015, is “Youth Civic Engagement.” The engagement and participation of youth is essential to achieve sustainable human development. Yet often the opportunities for youth to engage politically, economically and socially are low or non-existent. There has been recent increasing attention and policy and programming focus on youth civic engagement by governments, UN entities, regional and multilateral organizations, CSOs, youth and researchers.

I will just point out Two major issues

1. POLITICALLY
Leaders of Tomorrow? I think that word should be totally scrapped out I believe I'm not the only one who knows that our leaders of tomorrow are being recycled. I'll just pick two individuals and we go back and think the rest.

A) ROBERT MUGABE born 21 February 1924 (age 91)
Prime Minister 18 April 1980 – 22 December 1987
President of Zimbabwe 22 December 1987 till date

I believe a whole lot of Zimbabwe youth has given up the Leaders of Tomorrow Cliché

B) Sen. David Alechenu B. Mark born April 1948 (age 67)
Governor of Niger State January 1984 – 1986
Senator for Benue South In office May 1999 – till date

The question then becomes are youths not capable of decision making? Are we just good to be used as violence materials??

Meanwhile Somewhere in the UK

Mhairi Black: Member of the United Kingdom Parliament
for Paisley and Renfrewshire South Incumbent
Born 12 September 1994 (age 20)

2. ECONOMICALLY
"The word Youth in Nigeria is fast becoming Synonymous to Unemployment"
It is no doubt that youths occupy a majority of every populace mostly termed "The Work Force".
The fact here is that the Work Force is a commodity in the Labour Market
The Labour Market now really is an issue, I will use a simple scenario. I have been going through job adverts and the trend is "A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS EXPERIENCE" then the question then is where will the 2years experience come from when everybody wants to employ candidates with two years experience? Is that not marginalisation of youths?
The greatest inventors in Africa are Youths and they are indeed successful in it.

FINALLY, The Way Forward:
The Nigerian economy is diversifying thus strength are channelled to various sectors what should we do?

I) A FORUM
Government, NGO's, Corporate Bodies, Communities, Individuals should engage a forum where youths should seat and discuss and truth ideas would be built to reality

Ii) VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is something that has been closing the gap between theories (school work) and practical (Experience), it also gives the opportunity of Mentoring

Iii) ENGAGE in Entrepreneurial Activities
Stop putting yourself in a position of pity. Do something it might be fish farming, poultry, bead making, photography, e.t.c. But the secret to its success is understanding the need of your environ and perseverance.
