Africa is one of the continents of the world known for being richly blessed with most of the precious natural resources that can be used to produce spectacular art works and architectural edifices. But for some decades in the past, Africa has not always ranked in the list whenever it comes to expensive structures, Africa has always been considered one of the continents with the most underdeveloped countries. But thanks to modern technology and civilisation, which has helped Africa to put into action what she originally had in the best and finest ways. Today, Africa can boast of innumerable technological outfits and buildings that can stand in competition with other enviable parts of the world both in beauty and cost.

15. Southern Sun Waterfront- Cape Town, South Africa
Cost $23m

The Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel in Cape Town consists of 546 well-appointed rooms on 14 floors. Southern Sun Waterfront Cape Town is situated in the heart of the city’s most sought-after areas. Business travellers have the advantage of being minutes away from the Cape Town International Conference Centre and other major corporate hubs, while leisure travelers are right in the midst of the city’s most popular landmarks. The South Sun Water front building is the least expensive in this list but I must confess that it is beautiful. However, I do not think 23 million dollars is anything but expensive.

The son of an Indian murder victim has confessed to stabbing his father’s killer to death and chopping his body into 12 pieces, one for every year since his father was slain, media reported Tuesday.

Alam Khan was aged 12 when he saw his father being murdered by a family friend in 2003. He had secretly planned his revenge ever since and finally seized his chance last week when he invited the killer over for a drink.

After getting Mohammad Rais drunk at his home in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Khan knifed him to death before using a hammer and hacksaw to dismember the body, he told reporters on Monday after his arrest.

He and an accomplice then packed the body parts into plastic bags which they threw into a river. When the bags washed up on the river’s banks, police were only able to identify Rais from a surgery scar on his torso.

Khan was arrested after witnesses recounted how Rais had last been seen visiting his home, and made a full confession.

“I played some music at full volume and cut his body into 12 pieces,” Khan was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

Khan had never told anyone about the identity of his father’s killer and had instead waited for 12 years to “realise his dream” of taking revenge. He was “happy it was now done”.

Police Superintendent Ram Suresh Yadav told the newspaper Khan had confessed to his crime with an “utter lack of remorse”.

The murder weapons, including the hammer and hacksaw, had been recovered from Khan’s home in the district of Moradabad, Yadav added.

NB: If u have imagined it, you have sinned

Pictures circulating online shows a pastor who preaches stark naked in a remote area in Onitsha, Anambra State.

According to sources who apparently witnessed him preach, the unidentified pastor claims he preaches this way because being naked was what God intended for humans.

He maintained that Adam and Eve were naked before they sinned and he would go without clothes because he believes this is the best way to reach God

Witnesses in the area shared his picture on social media, adding that the pastor truly does not believe he is nude and he is doing what God originally planned for mankind.

Mods do the needful, Christians need to be careful
