Zimbabwe: A 34-year-old Gweru man from Mambo high-density suburb died while receiving treatment from a local traditional healer after his manhood allegedly remained up after sleeping with a married woman.

The man has been identified as Shelton Dinganga of Zaranyika Road, Mambo.

According to neighbours, the matter which had been kept as a family secret by the man's relatives occurred last week. The neighbours said they were shocked when they were only informed about Dinganga's death and not his illness. They said Dinganga had s*x with a relative's wife and his sexual organ remained erect while his other private parts became swollen.

"Dinganga had suddenly disappeared from public life after coming back from Kwekwe where he had visited one of the family relatives whom he was said to be flirting with. We were shocked when his family members later informed us of his death and burial arrangements on Tuesday morning," a neighbour told the local press.

The neighbour said it was during Dinganga's burial at Mkoba Cemetery on Wednesday last week when mourners later got the shocking news that he died when his sexual organ remained erect after having s*x with a female relative in Kwekwe.

"This was partly revealed by a relative who thanked the inyanga for doing his best to try and serve Dinganga. He also reportedly turned down his family members' attempts to take him to the hospital," he said.

When our news crew visited the house yesterday, Dinganga's aunt, Ms Janet Gama confirmed the death.

She, however, refused to shade light on the causes of his death.

"Why do you want to know what caused the death of our relative? Yes he died at home and he had declined to be taken to the hospital but to then narrate the whole issue about Dinganga's illness and subsequent passing away will not bring his life back," said Ms Gama.

Police in Kwekwe, Zimbabwe have arrested a gold panner from Zhombe who allegedly crushed his friend's balls and battered his manhood after catching him having sex with his wife.

Blessing Gwara of Mahobo village under Chief Samambwa in Zhombe was on Tuesday arraigned before Kwekwe magistrate, Mr Taurai Manwewe facing indecent assault charges. Gwara pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody to Friday.

For the State, Mr Brain Mzemba said sometime last month on a date unknown to the prosecutor, the complainant, Mr Brian Munemo approached Gwara's wife (whose identity is not known) and asked to have sex with her on the payment of US$10. After the woman agreed, the two (Munemo and Gwara's wife) decided to use Gwara's matrimonial bedroom for the hanky-panky.

Mr Mzemba told the court that all hell broke loose when Gwara unexpectedly returned home only to find his friend and his wife having sex on his bed. The court heard that Gwara's wife escaped from the scene leaving her sex-partner to face the music. Mr Mzemba said Gwara then pulled the complainant's manhood before smashing his two balls with a fist.

The court heard that Gwara went on to twist Munemo's 'sexual spitting cobra' while assaulting him with open hands all over the body. Mr Mzemba said Munemo went and reported the matter to the police leading to Gwara's arrest. Munemo sustained internal injuries on his private parts.

Don't mind that illuminati mumu. He doesn't have respect for his elders anymore

It is being reported that at least 60 Nigerians resident in the United Kingdom have been deported because of various criminal offences. While some of the deportees had contravened immigration rules, others were deported for their involvement in crimes such as rape, stealing, smoking and selling of hard drugs. Some were also deported because they  used fake visa or engaged in fake marriages.

Some of the deportees at the airport said they had lived in the UK for long but could not get residence permit. They narrated their experiences to PM News and gave reasons for their deportation.

Bathlomew Sunday, an indigene of Anambra State, southeast Nigeria, said that he lived in UK for nine years but could not get residence permit. Sunday said he had to engage in a contract marriage to get the permit but was later caught by the British immigration, which deported him to Nigeria. He said he was not allowed to take any of his possessions before he was deported, adding that it was at the airport that he discovered other Nigerians were also deported. Sunday explained that the British government made it difficult for immigrants, especially Nigerians, to get residence permit, saying that they didn’t plan to stay there illegally.

Another deportee, Daniel Uche, who hails from Enugu State, said that the global economic meltdown has made it difficult to get jobs in the UK, thus many Nigerians are struggling to survive. Uche said there are no jobs for foreigners in UK, and to survive, many engage in shady businesses.

Also, Peter Nkwocha from Delta State said he travelled to UK about seven years ago, but he was arrested and later deported because he was wrongly accused of rape. Though he said he denied the allegation, he was arrested and later deported when the British authorities discovered he had a ‘contract’ marriage during investigation.

From their accounts, it is clear that they knew they had committed some offences – staying in UK illegally without residence permit, having ‘contract’ marriages, engaging in shady businesses and more. Isn’t it sad that Nigerians have to resort to committing such crimes just because they want to live in foreign countries such as the UK.

Owerri – The police in Owerri on Friday said a mob killed two suspected members of a four-man robbery gang, believed to have been terrorising residents of Spibat area of Akwakuma, Owerri.

The Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, Mr Vitalis Onugu, told reporters that the suspects were arrested by members of the Special Anti-Robbery squad at the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) who responded to a distress call.

He said the two suspects were first arrested by the local vigilance group operating in Spibat area in Akwakuma and about to be lynched by the mob when the police arrived at the scene and rescued them.

“Responding to the call, the anti robbery squad got there and found the suspects already tied down with tyres around their necks and were about to be burned alive.

“They were rescued but at the point of death as a result of machete cuts dealt on them by the angry mob. They died before we could get them to the hospital.

“However, one of the suspects, Buchi, from Akpodim in Mbaise, Imo, managed to describe to the policemen the location of their hideout before he died,” he said.

Onugu said the police immediately swung into action and arrested two other suspects in a thick bush behind Orji Mechanic Village in an uncompleted building.

The suspects were alleged to have dispossessed people of their laptops, cell phones, plasma television sets and ATM cards, Onugu said.

He said that items recovered from the suspects included Indian hemp, charms and magical instruments, assorted SIM cards, cell phones and white candles with an inscription “white confusion”.

The police spokesman also said that loaded double barrel shotguns and other dangerous weapons were recovered from the suspects.

He said a full investigation into the incident had begun. (NAN)

According to Page Six, actor Robert DeNiro went off on Jay Z at a party, calling him rude and disrespectful, because Jay Z refused to return his calls...

From Page Six 

Robert De Niro and Jay-Z got into a tense beef at Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday bash the other night, when De Niro called the rapper disrespectful, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Spies say “Godfather II” and “Taxi Driver” star De Niro gave Jay a dressing-down in a roomful of celebs including Martin Scorsese because the rap mogul had refused to return De Niro’s calls.

Sources add that Jay tried to joke his way out of the situation, and even his wife, Beyoncé, tried to intervene, but De Niro wouldn’t back down.

“Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back,” a source says.

A spy then overheard De Niro complaining to the rapper, a fellow TriBeCa resident, about a song Jay-Z agreed to record for the Tribeca Film Festival. De Niro had reached out to discuss further details, but Jay never returned his calls.

“Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation,” the spy says. “He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.”

When Jay-Z tried to make a joke of it, saying he is terrible on the phone, a source says, “De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he’s the man, but that he was disrespectful.’ ”

“Beyoncé came over, but that didn’t calm Bob down,” the source said, adding that afterward, “It was the talk of the party.

Best kiss in a Nigerian movie: Uti Nwachukwu and Tonto Dikeh for Broken Silence

A sixty year old woman who neighbours allege is a witch is reported to have given birth to a rat at Ekumfi Eku Mpoano in the Central Region, Ghana.

The woman whose name has been withheld for safety reasons is said to have challenged a pastor who told her she was possessed by an evil spirit.

The Head Pastor of the 12 Apostles Church in the Central Region, Madam Akua Nyaneba on Monday told Adom News when the woman was brought to her she was not pregnant but upon praying for her, the woman confessed she was a witch and was carrying the rat for onward transfer into her sister’s womb.

According to Madam Nyaneba, the alleged witch wanted to destroy her sister because she had rained insults on her during a quarrel.

The Assemblyman of Eku Mpoano in the Agona East Municipal Assembly, Jerry John Arthur confirmed the incident to Adom News.

He said members of the community were now taking care of the rat for fear that if they kill it the 60 year old suspected witch would die.

Haven't they removed the subsidy already? Can't remember the last time I didn't buy fuel @ 140. That guy sef.......

Nigeria also holds the record as the kidnap for ransom headquarters in Africa, the country with the highest number of pastors that own private jets and of course, the happiest people on earth. Mtcheeeeeewwwwwww. About to throw away my laptop

The recent media report that Nigeria is now holding the enviable record of a country with the highest private jet ownership in Africa is unarguably rankling.

This untoward development has brought into sharper focus the paradox of a nation that is endowed with huge oil resources but where only a few privileged individuals are wealthy.

In a country where the average citizen or over 70 percent of the population lives on less than $1 per day, it is astonishing that there is a super rich class of business moguls, bankers, preachers, politicians and oil magnates whose private ownership of jets is more than that of any other country in the continent.

The report has it that ownership of state-of-the-art jets in Nigeria has increased to over 200 in 2012 from 50 in 2008.

It also indicates that N1.30 trillion may have been spent by Nigerians in the last seven years to acquire jets. The cost of a jet ranges between N2.4 billion and N9 billion.

Though successive Nigerian administrations have generously dubbed the country as the “Giant of Africa,” the reality on ground indicates that Nigeria does not deserve to be so called.

Ours is a system riddled with systemic corruption and officially-sanctioned profligacy. Over the years, we have not fared better in any index of development by any African and global ranking bodies.

While it is the prerogative of individuals to decide what to do with their money, we think that the rush by wealthy Nigerians to acquire private jets is fast becoming an obsession that should be curbed.

The new craze among public office holders is unnecessary show of power, prestige and personal ego. Acquiring a private jet has now become a status symbol for a few privileged nouveau riche Nigerians including members of the political elite.

Given that some oil-rich states of the Niger Delta region can afford the luxury of a private jet for their chief executives, the same can hardly be said of other states of the federation where basic necessities of life are still a campaign issue.

Even among the oil-rich states, some environmental challenges occasioned by years of oil exploration and exploitation are still begging for attention that acquisition of jets cannot be a top priority.

The recent havoc caused by flood in many parts of the country shows the enormity of environmental problems facing most of the states. Besides, every state in the country is bedevilled by the blight of unemployment and poverty. The country is still battling with general insecurity occasioned by armed robbery, kidnapping, terrorism and other social ills.

Moreover, the nation’s education and health sectors are in a shamble, yet we parade the highest number of jet owners in Africa. We decry the new craze to acquire jets among Nigerians, especially the public office holders. In fact, public office holders should seriously face governance and other developmental issues and do away with the tendency to buy jets.

Apart from being an avoidable drain on the state’s resources, there is no need and justification for such ego-tripping. This overt and stupendous consumerism culture epitomizes poverty of ideas and misplacement of priorities. It should be stopped forthwith.


While there is nothing basically wrong with private individuals owning jets, we should not bring the Nigerian factor to bear on it so that it does not become nauseating.

We urge Nigerians to moderate their taste for ostentation and curb the new craze. We appeal to state governors to channel those resources to the enhancement of democracy deliverables to the people. Let them compete on developmental issues and not on jets. Above all, government should regulate the acquisition of luxury goods including jets by increasing taxation on them. Efforts should be geared towards improving the nation’s aviation industry.

Perhaps, the mad rush to acquire private jets can be lessened if the aviation sector is working. People resort to acquiring jets to possibly overcome the shortcomings of the ailing aviation sector. A situation where only two or three private airlines service the nation’s domestic flight needs is not good enough. Floating a functional national carrier in addition to having a few more functional and effective private operators can largely address the problem.

Trans Fatty Acids Trans fats are essentially artifi cial fats that have been chemically altered to resemble saturated fats. Trans fats are typically found in shortening, margarine and the majority of commercially baked goods and snack foods.

Rancid fats

Commercial manufacturing creates rancidity, and thus free radicals, in commercial vegetable oils. Free radicals are known to cause cancer.

Omega-6 fatty acids

High levels of omega-6 fatty acids are thought to be dangerous and may cause cancer. Although the body requires small amounts of omega-6 fatty

acids today’s overuse of vegetable oils (the main source of omega-6) may have directly contributed to the nation’fs rising cancer rates.

MSG

Monosodium glutamate is a highly toxic chemical found in almost all processed foods. In some cases, labeling laws do not require this chemical to be included in the ingredient list but rest assured, the majority of unnatural flavorings, spice mixes and hydrolyzed protein contain MSG.

If a product is MSG-free, it must clearly state so. MSG may be directly associated with brain cancer.

Aspartame

Aspartame is an artifi cial sweetener sold under many names including NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. Th is chemical is widely used in low-fat products, sodas, candy and gum and most products that claim to be sugar-free. According to the FDA, aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of all reported adverse reactions to food additives. Many

of these reactions are serious and include such things as seizures and even death. Even low doses of aspartame are clearly linked in studies to numerous cancers including brain and breast cancer as well as lymphoma and leukemia.

The cancer risk from this chemical is so high that authors of one study stated even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, which is far less than the current acceptable daily intake, can result in cancer. They further added that an immediate revaluation of the present guidelines on the use and consumption of APM is recommended.66 Always read labels and avoid this chemical at all costs.

Pesticides

Studies show pesticides and herbicides are associated with numerous cancers among other serious diseases. One recent large study in particular shows a direct link between pancreatic cancer and herbicide use.

With today’s commercial farming, most fruits and vegetables are now sprayed with any number of chemicals. Unfortunately, most meat also contains pesticides and herbicides simply because animals are fed pesticide-contaminated feed. Th e only alternative is to buy organic produce and meat whenever possible.

Hormones

Both artifi cial and excessive natural plant hormones are being introduced into our bodies in several ways. Women, who opt for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for symptoms of menopause, are known to increase their risk for breast cancer according to numerous studies.

This is a real story of a young girl who passed away last month. Her name is Lola. She was hit by a car at Oyingbo on her way to work at Apapa. She was working with MTN. She had a boyfriend named Emeka, a banker who was recently transferred to Abuja. Both of them were in love. She spent half of the day and most nights talking with Emeka on her phone.

Lola's family knew about their relationship. Emeka was very close to Lola's family in spite of the tribal differences. (just imagine their love).

Before she passed away at LUTH, she told her friends, "If I pass away, please bury me with my cell phone". She also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death at LUTH, the attendants couldn't carry her body to the mortuary. A lot of them tried to do so but couldn't. So they went to call a priest in church who had the gift of communicating with the dead. He sprinkled some salt and water on the body and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl is missing something".

Then her friends told them about her intention to be buried with her phone. They asked them to bring a coffin, and then they opened it and placed her phone inside the casket. After that, they tried to carry the body which could now be moved and they carried it away easily.

Everyone was shocked. A day later which was Lola's birthday, Emeka came to their house with gifts but was so shocked to receive the news. He couldn't believe because he still spoke with Lola the previous day, he then tried calling her phone again in their presence and behold! It rang and Lola picked it and they were chatting. They called the priest to come and intervene and when he came and prayed for 5 hours, it was revealed that MTN is everywhere u go.

@omega its not a hoax. I was there. Confirmed. The girl's parents didn't even show up @ the church

I was at a wedding ceremony where a young man was abandoned yesterday at Onitsha by the wife to be.
The young lady in question is a roman catholic that insisted she wanted to wed the husband to be, who is a protestant, at the catholic church. The husband then left the marriage arrangements to the wife as he was a novice when it came to the catholic church marriage proceedings. Believing that the wife had been making arrangements, yesterday he got to the catholic church only to be told by the priest that the church was not informed about their wedding and they were advised subsequently to go ahead with their reception, to come back later in the evening for marriage blessings and exchange of vows. The young man believing that their dream of being together had not been twarted by the disappointment decided to proceed with the reception for which he went straight to.
After several hours of waiting for his bride to show up, which she never did, the reception was cancelled following a call from the lady that she was no longer interested in the marriage.
What would you have done if you found yourself in the guy's shoes?

The reason Goldie participated in Big Brother StarGame is finally out. According to her publicist, HB Associates, Goldie wants to become a big brand in Africa and BBSG was a good platform for her to achieve that aim. And as things stand now, it was a wise decision on her part as she has indeed become one of the most-sought-after female artists in Africa.

And like the busy bee and energetic entrepreneur that she is, she is not resting on her oars but further capitalising on and maximising the opportunities coming with her new African icon status.

She’s been using the opportunity of her various visits over Africa to do collaboration songs with other African artistes and in a few weeks, she will start to release the collabos before her next album which is planned to be distributed all over Africa.

I actually expected a comment from Benny Hinn in this post,but guess what,there waas none. So how come he was then crucified for another man's comments. It very unfair to include and label him as a false prophet simply because he was present when Pat Robertson made the statement and besides that, you also wrote his name first in your heading.That is cruel. You're probably looking for cheap publicity. Now you have it. Mtchew.....

Shebi they say attack is the best form of defence. WAR 101. I don't blame them for what they're saying. Lord Lugard,I blame you totally for this mess.

The umbrella body of Muslims in the North, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam, on Thursday accused Christians in the region of disguising as Muslims to raze churches in order to create disharmony in the country.

The JNI also warned all “Christian zealots in Nigeria” to stop taking for granted,  Muslims who “constitute a majority of people living in the North.”
But spokesman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 Northern states and Abuja, Sunday Oibe, described the allegation by JNI as “baseless.”
Oibe said it was unthinkable that Christians would disguise to burn churches in the North.

The JNI asked the Federal Government and the nation’s security agencies to immediately launch investigation into what it described as act of terrorism perpetrated by Christians in the North.

The group, in a statement issued at the end of its three-day retreat, also tackled the President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, for making what it called “unguarded ulterance capable of eroding the long existing cordial relationship between Muslims and Christians in the country.”

The JNI statement which was signed by its General Secretary, Dr. Khalid Aliyu, therefore advised Oritsejafor to call on Christians in the North to stop perpetrating acts of terrorism “while mischievously disguising as Muslims.”

It warned that the JNI would no longer tolerate the alleged “double face attitude.”

The statement reads in part, “Participants condemn in totality, the ongoing spate of bombings and killings of guiltless Nigerians irrespective of their regional, religious or ethnic inclinations. JNI calls on Nigerians to shun violence and embrace peaceful means of settling their legitimate grievances.

“JNI urges the Federal Government to call the president of CAN to order before he causes religious crisis in the country, through his unguided utterances which have started eroding the long built mutual respect between Muslims and Christians.  CAN president must direct his people to stop mischievously disguising as Muslims in perpetrating acts of terrorism.

“The meeting calls on federal and affected state governments as well as all security agents to, as a matter of urgency, investigate the several reported cases of Christians who disguise as Muslims to burn churches. JNI can no longer tolerate this double face attitude.
“The President of CAN, instead of contributing positively towards achieving national cohesion has rather chosen the path of insinuation and therefore overheating the polity.”

The JNI also accused security agencies and “the Christian-dominated Southern media” of bias against Muslims and in their handling of the issues involving the militant Islamic sect, the Boko Haram.
“There are so many contradictions and confusion in the
way the issue of Boko Haram is handled by security agents and the media. Majority of the media establishment in the country, especially the Christian-dominated southern media, have always demonstrated bias against Islam and Muslims.”

It therefore advised Muslims to remain vigilant and report to the authorities any case of “injustice and maltreatment meted out to any Muslim, either by “Christian extremists or bad elements among the security agents. The group advised that “copies of the complaints should be sent to the state offices of JNI attached with a comprehensive report of the incidents.”

The JNI further expressed doubt on the claims by President Goodluck Jonathan that members of the Boko Haram have infiltrated his government.

It said, “We condemn in strong terms, all acts of terrorism perpetrated by any group in Nigeria as we remain confused regarding whether the Boko Haram members are known by the government as clearly stated that they are in the government or they are faceless (as claimed by the National Security Adviser).

“We also call on the media to always be fair in reporting of issues as that is the only way we can understand issues as they are and take appropriate measures to address them.”

The Northern CAN spokesman however said JNI was merely trying  “to divert attention.”

He said,  “It is very irrational for any right thinking person to say that a Christian could disguise as a Muslim to go and throw bomb at churches and kill people  in places like  Madalla, Jos, Maiduguri, Adamawa, Damaturu and other places.

“If they don’t know, let them be aware that the President of CAN speaks the mind of Nigerian Christians, particularly Christians in the North and we are solidly behind him.

“The Boko Haram Islamic sect and their sponsors are those who are heating up the polity and not the President of CAN. JNI should be ashamed of making this baseless accusation.”

Lusaka - The 20-year-old daughter of a top Zambian politician was found guilty of making obscene materials and fined $2 000 on Thursday, after she featured in a steamy 16-minute sex tape.

Iris Kaingu - daughter of MP, former minister and deputy head of the opposition Michael Kaingu - was found guilty of producing pornographic material likely to corrupt morals.

"I therefore impose a fine of 10 million kwacha on the convict," magistrate Prince Mwiinga said handing down the sentence.

Iris and a male acquaintance featured in the video that was widely circulated on the internet last year, resulting in her expulsion from college, where she was studying accountancy.

Her father was last week banned from parliament for two weeks after being found guilty of ripping up President Michael Sata's speech to the National Assembly.

Kaingu described Sata's speech as "a disgrace" before tearing up the text.

Justin Bieber has been sued by a Michigan man who claims the pop superstar stole his credit card and purchased a penis enlargement with it.
According to CBS Detroit, the plaintiff, who identifies himself in court papers as Selena Gomez's father, alleges Bieber spent $426.78 on the enlargement and never paid him back.
The documents also claim that Bieber "used the stolen American Express card to buy an abortion for his longtime girlfriend," the station writes.
This might all be rather scandalous if the veracity of the lawsuit hadn't been cast into serious question.
As TMZ writes, the plaintiff -- whose identity has not been confirmed -- goes on to make "some of the most insane, and obviously untrue allegations ever documented in court."
For instance, the man claims that Bieber gave Gomez an STD and stole his credit card to buy him and Sean "P Diddy" Combs cocaine "to use in drug-free school zones."
But as gossip blogger Perez Hilton notes, the plaintiff may be dealing with issues.
This is not the first time that Bieber has been caught in the middle of a strange lawsuit.
In 2011, a young woman named Mariah Yeater sued the megastar, claiming he had fathered her child during a "backstage tryst," RadarOnline writes. The claim, however, was later proven false and the lawsuit was dropped.
Bieber is also not the only celebrity this week who is being sued based on wacky allegations.
On Tuesday, a man claiming to be Chris Brown sued Rihanna for $10 million, saying the "Rude Boy" singer gave him herpes.

The Governor of Taraba State, Dambaba Suntai, has reportedly died in an aircrash at the Yola airport in Adamawa state capital.

– The Senator representing Borno Central, Ahmad Zanna, has said contrary to the claim by the Joint Task Force (JTF), a Boko Haram commander, Shuaibu Bama, was arrested in the house of former governor Ali Modu Sheriff and not in his own house.
The senator, Sunday, said that the attempt by the JTF to link him with the Boko Haram commander by claiming that he was arrested in his house was a plan to frame him.
The senator alleged that his recent interview where he called for the withdrawal of the JTF from Borno on account of failure to adhere to standard operating procedures, was the reason for their attempt at implicating him.
His words: “About 40 members of the JTF came to my house in four armoured vehicles on the day in question. They ransacked my house and they did not see anything incriminating. Then they brought out all the boys they met in my house who included my children, aides and neighbours.
They beat them and put them under the sun and asked them if they knew Shuaibu Bama and one of them said yes. They asked the boy to lead them to where he (Bama) was and that boy took them to where Shuaibu Bama was and they arrested him.
“He was not arrested in my house. He was arrested in a house which belongs to Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff. The question is why did the JTF say that Shuaibu Bama was arrested in the house of a serving senator?
I am the only serving senator who has a house on the Dabuwa Road. Bama was not arrested in my house. He was arrested at the house located at Rabi Street, off Dambuwa Road. My case is a very clear case of framing. But it has failed.”
Not denying his relationship with the suspected Boko Haram commander, Sen. Zanna admitted that the suspect was his nephew and once lived with him but that he had to send him away from his house about a year ago, when he discovered that the man was into drugs, beat his children and threatened even himself.
