Celebrities / 25-year-old Female Celeb Almost Blinded By Allergic Reaction To Halloween Makeup by theLegion(m): 12:38pm On Oct 30, 2017
An allergic reaction to Halloween make-up left a 25-year-old woman with permanently damaged eyesight.

Emmajane Duffy, 25, dressed up as a clown for just one night but within hours, the customer relations adviser from Blantyre, Glasgow, began to experience irritation, which worsened to become an excruciating pain.

She recalls: “It felt like a piece of glass was in my eye - I was in terrible pain. I did an eye bath to clean them out, but it didn’t help.

“Minutes later, the sensation worsened. It felt like I had razor blades cutting across my eye-ball. It was the most horrendous scratching pain.”

Despite having carefully cleaned off the make-up, she was unable to open her eyes the next morning and was forced to use Siri on her phone to call her boyfriend, Steven Stewart, 27.

"I couldn’t see a thing so Steven had to dress me and give me sunglasses to wear to protect my eyes from the light.

"As we drove to the hospital, I was terrified I would never see again.’

Doctors at the hospital told her she had superficial scratches all over her corneas and was lucky not to have gone blind.

It took four days before Emmajane was able to open her eyes.

After visiting her opticians, she said: “The optician told me that my eyes were badly damaged and really sensitive to light.

“He could still see gold glitter at the back of my eyes."

A week later she started wearing her new glasses, but still suffered from hazy vision and sensitivity to light.

She said: “It was the worst experience of my life. Halloween became my own personal horror story that nearly left me blind.

“I definitely won’t be dressing up again in a hurry.”

The 25-year-old is warning others to take care when wearing cheap products and also issuing a warning to fellow Halloween revellers after her nightmare experience on October 29 last year.

She now rely on glasses because of the damage done to her eye,

‘I’m just glad I didn’t lose my sight,’ she said.

Celebrities / Celebrity Robot Becomes First In The World To Be Granted Citizenship by theLegion(m): 11:30am On Oct 30, 2017
Saudi Arabia just made a humanoid robot a citizen, making it the first country to grant a robot citizenship.

The robot, Sophia, took to the stage at a conference in Riyadh to express how ‘honoured’ she was at being made a Saudi citizen.

“I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction,” the robot
said onstage. “This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”

Saudi Arabia recently granted women the right to drive. Now, the Gulf Nation has granted a humanoid robot 'full citizenship'.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/robot-becomes-first-in-the-world-to-be-granted-citizenship/

As usual, not everyone is happy with the citizenship bestowed upon Sophia, with some describing her as 'bizarre' and others referring to it as 'terminator in real time'.

The humanoid robot, that was designed by Hong Kong firm, Hanson Robotics, went on to express her hopes for robots in the future.

Sophia said: "I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people."

The Thunder team were on the Boeing 757-200 when it was hit by an object during the flight, leaving a large crater in the nose of the jet.

Victoria Wolf, a Delta Airlines spokesperson, has said: "Delta flight 8935, operating from Minneapolis to Chicago-Midway as a charter flight for the Oklahoma City Thunder, likely encountered a bird while on descent into Chicago.

"The aircraft, a Boeing 757-200, landed safely without incident; customers have since deplaned and maintenance is evaluating. Safety is Delta's top priority."

New Zealand international Steven Adams posted a picture on Twitter of the plane, saying: "We had a rough flight to say the least."

Adam also tweeted the picture to Nasa, American TV scientist Bill Nye and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, asking them to solve the mystery of what could have caused the damage.



His co-player, Josh Huestis, also posted a picture of the
plane, saying: "I guess we hit something? 30,000 feet....."

Crime / Nine Sailors 'high On Cocaine' Sacked After Failing Drug Tests While Serving On by theLegion(m): 8:14pm On Oct 28, 2017
Nine sailors from a nuclear missile submarine have been sacked after they tested positive for cociane while on duty.

The Daily Mail reported that the crew from HMS Vigilant – which carries the Trident nuclear deterrent – were sent home and kicked out of the service after the class A drug was found in their blood.

The newspaper also alleged that the service personnel held drug-fuelled parties while the submarine was docked in the US to pick up nuclear warheads, and one man had sex with a prostitute in a swimming pool.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/nine-sailors-high-on-cociane-sacked-after-failing-drug-tests/

A spokesman for the Royal Navy said: "We do not tolerate drugs misuse by service personnel.

"Those found to have fallen short of our high standards face being discharged from service."

Earlier this month, the Navy said it was investigating an alleged affair between two crew members on HMS Vigilant.

They were identified as Commander Stuart Armstrong, 41, and Sub-Lieutenant Rebecca Edwards, 25.

A Royal Navy spokesman said: "We can confirm an investigation is underway, but it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.

"Any allegations of wrongdoing are taken very seriously and will be dealt with appropriately."

Romance / Man Seduces Women Via Social Network And Infect Them With HIV by theLegion(m): 8:42am On Oct 28, 2017
An italian man has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for infecting more than 30 women with the HIV virus, after having unprotected sex with them.

Valentino Talluto, a 33-year-old accountant, seduced dozens of women via social networks for a decade before his arrest in November 2015. Police believe he had sex with at least 53 women during that time, passing on the virus to 32 of them.

The male partners of three of the women subsequently contracted the potentially fatal illness, as did the eight-month-old infant of a fourth woman.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/hiv-positive-italian-valentino-talluto-sentenced-to-24-years/

Talluto always found a way to avoid using condoms, telling his partners that he was allergic to them, or had just had an HIV test.



Many of the women only discovered they had HIV after they heard of Talluto's arrest and had a test.

Many of the victims were students, some mothers. The youngest was 14 at the beginning of their relationship, the oldest around 40.

He expressed regret for what had happened, but said he did not realise the consequences of his actions.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/hiv-positive-italian-valentino-talluto-sentenced-to-24-years/

The prosecution demanded a life sentence for “wilful injury” and causing an “epidemic”, but the court rejected this, convicting him instead of “grievous and incurable bodily harm“.

Crime / Police Arrest Dad Who Fathered 8 Kids With His Own Daughter After Keeping Her As by theLegion(m): 6:12pm On Oct 25, 2017
Domingo Bulacio, 56, has been accused of fathering 8 kids with his own daughter after keeping her as a sex slave for 20 years.

He is accused of repeatedly raping his own daughter over two decades during which time she gave birth to multiple children.

Evidence provided to the court revealed that a DNA test confirmed that Bulacio was responsible for his daughter's eight pregnancies.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/dad-who-fathered-8-kids-with-daughter-arrested/

His heinous crime was uncovered and he was arrested in January last year after his daughter took her youngest son to the doctor.

When the doctor asked who the boy's father was, she told him the truth about his parentage.

Bulacio was taken into custody in January after fleeing police and becoming a fugitive for 45 days - hiding out at a relatives home 30 miles away from his own.

Bulacio has been charged with sex crimes and will now stand trial.

According to local reports, the victim was abandoned by her mother who was allegedly physically abused by Bulacio.

Six of the eight children are living at the boarding school of Eva Peron in Santiago del Estero, local media reported.

There is no further information about the mother whose name has not been made public.

Popular Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, says cheating is not having sex with another woman as commonly perceived, but by getting attached to them.

Speaking to BroadwayTV, The father of two said you only cheat when you develop feelings, plan trips, share your 100 percent time with a woman you had s*x with.


Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/having-sex-with-another-woman-is-not-cheating-ik-ogbonna/


The actor, who is married with a child to Colombian model, Sonia Morales, also said that he had never cheated on his wife because he was too busy with work and constructive things to make his family better and doesn't see any reason to cheat on his wife.

Ogbonna said, “Cheating is when there is evidence of emotional attachment and feelings with someone else other than your significant other.

“Cheating is not even having sex with a woman, that is one mistake people make. Cheating is when you find yourself developing feelings for someone.

“Let me explain if a man finds himself in a situation where he sleeps with a woman for 30 minutes and he’ s done and dusted and then you move on with life.

“That ceases to exist the second it ended. You only just broke your marital vows, that’s not cheating.

“Cheating is when you start sharing the 100 percent of you with someone, am not talking about sex, am talking about giving the person extra time, chatting moments.

Crime / British Man Jailed For Three Months In Dubai For Touching Man's Hip Is Freed by theLegion(m): 6:06pm On Oct 24, 2017
Jamie Harron, 27, who was sentenced to three months in a Dubai Jail for touching a man's hip as he carried a drink through a crowded bar has been told he is free to leave following an intervention from the emirate's ruler.

The 27-year-old electrician from Stirling, Scotland, was sentenced for public indecency after being arrested at the Rock Bottom bar in July over the incident in which he said he put his hand on a man's hip to avoid spilling his drink.

Campaign group Detained in Dubai (DiD), which has been supporting Mr Harron, said he was sentenced to three months imprisonment at court on Sunday, but has now had his passport returned.

Mr Harron has collected his passport and he's making arrangements to return to the UK, the group added.

Radha Stirling, CEO of DiD, said: "We wish to express our deepest gratitude to Sheikh Mohammed for his personal intervention in this case, and for exonerating Jamie at long last.

"This was a courageous and honourable decision on the part of Sheikh Mohammed, and while it highlights the urgent need for judicial reform in the country, it is also a hopeful sign that the United Arab Emirate's leadership possesses the will and vision to pursue such reforms in the future."

Mr Harron had been working in Afghanistan and was on a two-day stopover in the United Arab Emirates at the time. He since lost his job because of his detainment.

Crime / 3-year-old Girl's Dead Body Found After Dad Made Her Stand Outside At 3am by theLegion(m): 11:39am On Oct 23, 2017
A body has been found in the hunt for Sherin Mathews, the missing three-year-old girl who vanished from her home after her dad allegedly made her stand outside her home at 3am as a punishment for not drinking her milk.

Police in Richardson, Texas, said they feared she had been abducted and issued an 'Amber Alert'.

Her 37-year-old father, Wesley Mathews, was arrested by the police after a massive search investigation was launched.

He allegedly told police he made Sherin stand next to a tree behind the fence at their home alone when she didn't finish her milk.

When he returned 15 minutes later the child was gone.

That was when he noticed that she had gone missing, however he did not contact the police until 8am, five hours after she is said to have vanished, according to Sergeant Kevin Perlick.

He told officers that he was doing laundry while waiting for daylight or for Sherin, who had been adopted from an orphanage in India, to return by herself.

Sherin’s adoptive mother was asleep at the time and does not face any charges.

A police spokesman told reporters that investigators have no reason to believe that the body belongs to another missing child.

They are awaiting positive identification and for an autopsy to determine what killed the child.

Wesley was arrested on child abandonment and endangerment charges the same day that Sherin went missing but has since been released on bail.

Education / Umaru Musa Yar'adua University Employs Snake Charmers by theLegion(m): 10:21am On Oct 23, 2017
Umaru Musa Yar'Adua University in Katsina has employed the services of snake charmers to rid the campus of snakes, following the death of a final year student of Economics, Zainab Umar, last Monday after she was bitten by a snake three days earlier.

Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr. Suleiman Kankara, confirmed the hiring of the snake charmers, to rid the campus of snakes and reptiles.

“Yes, we have employed the services of snake charmers to assist us in ridding the campus of snakes. Although the snake charmers just began work, plans had been in the pipeline to hire them.

“We normally hire the snake charmers whenever we get a report of presence of snakes on the campus. It is unfortunate that the lady died. We know we tried our best to prevent her death,” Kankara explained.

Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr. Suleiman Kankara, claimed that the family of the deceased did not allow her complete her medication.

He added, “Zainab was bitten by a snake on Friday evening and she was promptly treated at our health centre.

"I spoke with her mother on phone on Saturday that she should be allowed to continue her treatment.

“I later checked the clinic on Saturday evening only to learn that her friends and her brother had taken her away from the clinic against medical advice.

“They did not sign any document to secure her release. We later learnt of her death on Monday morning. May her soul rest in peace.”

Late Zainab Umar was said to have been buried in her hometown, Dandume, Katsina State.

Politics / Retired Footballer, George Weah, Seeks God's Face At TB Joshua's Synagogue by theLegion(m): 9:22am On Oct 23, 2017
Football legend, George Weah, the leading presidential candidate in Liberia attended a service of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), led by Pastor T.B Joshua on Sunday.

During his sermon which was broadcast live on Emmanuel TV, the cleric warmly welcomed George Weah and spoke directly to him during his sermon.

"My brother is here today because he loves his country and wants God's choice for his country," Pastor Joshua stated.

"He is not here to impose himself. What does God say about his country, Liberia? What is God's opinion? That's why he is here.

Pastor T.B Joshua reiterated that he was not favoring any particular side of the political spectrum but his own role was to pray for 'the will of God' to be done in Liberia.

“We are not herbalists or witch-doctors; we are people of God. God’s choice is our choice. We cannot pray against God’s will.

“Without God’s corresponding power, we cannot pray to Him. For every step we take – every movement and action – intimation comes first.

“There must be suggestion from the Spirit to move before we move. If truly I am a man of God, I must hear from God – move or don’t move.”

“God’s opinion is what we should seek in our country – simple! God is the Answer, the Final,” the cleric added.

The presidential run-off election between Weah and Boakai is scheduled to hold on November 7, 2017.

They were accused of conspiring on February 14 at about 7:45pm at Ilupeju, Lagos, to kidnap Donatus Dunu and collect €223,000 for his release.
At the last court sitting in August, when the defendants were first arraigned before the judge, Evans and Mr. Amadi pleaded guilty to the two counts.
Mr. Nwachukwu pleaded guilty to conspiracy and not guilty to kidnapping.
Ms. Uchechukwu, the only female in the group, and Messrs Ifeanyi and Aduba,
pleaded not guilty to the charges.



But on Thursday, amidst a heavy security presence that included the police anti-bomb squad around the court premises, the defendants were unanimous in their plea before the judge – all said they were not guilty of the charges against them.
Before their charges were read, Ike Chika, the prosecuting counsel, informed the court of their intention to bring an amended charge which would require the defendants to take fresh pleas. He added that the amended charge had already been served on the defence.
The statement elicited arguments between the prosecution and defence counsels, with the latter claiming they were just served minutes before the day’s proceedings began and, therefore, did not have the opportunity to discuss with their clients.



Olukoya Ogungbeje, counsel to Messr Evans and Amadi said, "I need a new date to confer with my clients because I have not discussed with them on the implication of the charge as amended."



O. Ajanaku, counsel to Mr. Okwuchukwu, however, urged the court to continue with the case as his client was ready.
“There is nothing new in the charge, just a change in the section of the law that the second charge was attributed to, the charges remain the same and I am ready to commence in the case.”



Ms. Ike, the lead prosecuting counsel, also argued against the move for adjournment saying the defence counsels were only attempting to derail the case.
“According to Section 155(1) of the Criminal Justice Administration of Lagos State, in case of an amended charge, the law does not require any formal application, all that the law needs to do is to take fresh plea to the new charge, there is no material change in the charge, the request is an attempt to derail the case,” the counsel said.



The amended charges retained the accusations of conspiracy and kidnapping but changed the section in the Law on punishments regarding the offences allegedly committed.



Justice Oshodi, after listening to arguments, gave a 45 minute recess to allow the defence counsels confer with their clients on the amended charge, noting that the defendants should be given every opportunity to defend themselves.
Upon resumption of the matter, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges of conspiracy to commit felony to wit kidnapping under Section 411 of the Lagos State Criminal Laws and also kidnapping.
Mr. Ogungbeje then informed the court that since the defendants had taken a fresh plea, he will be withdrawing a motion he filed earlier to notify the judge of his clients’ intention to change their guilty pleas to not guilty.



The judge said the amended charge had rendered the application unnecessary and then struck it out.
Speaking to journalists after the court proceedings, Mr. Ogungbeje said his clients’ initial guilty plea was due to pressure from the prosecution, the Lagos State government, and the Nigeria Police Force.
“I must say that my client was pressurised by the defence counsel and police to plead guilty but he has now said it today, that he is not guilty,” Mr. Ogungbeje said.
“He has been extorted too and we have called on international organizations to look into his case of financial extortion and molestation of his girlfriend, we would not rush issues but we are right on course.”



Last week, Mr. Ogungbeje had filed a petition to the Police Service Commission alleging extortion and sexual molestation of Evans’ girlfriend by the police.
The police denied the allegations .
