According to the post-mortems carried out in Salerno in southern Italy, the girls aged 14 to 18 died of asphyxiation in the water, most of them when the inflatable dinghy they were travelling on sank.

One girl suffered a wound to her liver. Two of the dead were pregnant. The autopsies found no recent trace of physical or sexual violence.

The bodies of the victims were found floating in the water by a Spanish military ship and brought to Italy on November 3rd after two separate rescue operations.

Family members who survived the disaster have identified some of the victims. In other cases, investigators managed to contact relatives after discovering phone numbers inside the victims' clothing.

A white rose will be placed on each coffin, while smaller roses will be placed for the two unborn children.

Australia Wednesday endorsed same-sex marriage after more than a decade of divisive debate, and political leaders immediately took the first steps to enshrine the historic shift in law.
Thousands of marriage equality supporters took to parks and squares across the vast continent, hugging, dancing and singing under clouds of glitter when the results of the two-month-long postal survey were announced.

“This means everything, this means everything,” shouted Chris at a huge rally in Sydney, fighting back tears and hugging his partner Victor.

“It has been fantastic. I have been with my partner for 35 years and he was so joyed up that he burst into tears,” added another reveller, Gerry Boller.

Almost 62 percent of the 12.7 million people who participated voted “yes” to the question “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”

Just 38.4 percent voted “no”, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which carried out the poll.

Irish-born Qantas Airlines chief Alan Joyce, who is openly gay and campaigned strongly for the “yes” campaign, also fought back tears as he spoke of his delight.

Webmasters / AFRIMA, Nigeria / Argentina Match Dominate Google Search by torin: 3:56pm On Nov 16, 2017
@GISTMORE

Sunday’s All African Music Award ( AFRIMA ) and the Nigeria/Argentina football match dominated searches on the internet search engine, Google, this week.

Google’s Spokesman, Mr Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, made this known in a dispatch on Thursday in Lagos.

“Fans celebrated Nigeria’s 4-2 win against Argentina at the FIFA 2018 World Cup grade one friendly match held in Krasnodar, Russia, on Tuesday.

“The win takes Super Eagle’s Senior Coach, Gernot Rohr’s impressive record to seven wins, three draws and a defeat since he took charge of the team in September 2016.

“Excited fans raced to Google to search for more details about the match,’’ he said.

The Google manager noted that, in the world of entertainment, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly called Wizkid, won three awards at the 2017 AFRIMA held in Lagos.

He added that the pop star took home the awards for Artiste of the Year for his song “Come Closer’’, Song of the Year for the same song, and Best Male Artiste in Western Africa.

He said that excited fans raced to Google to get more information about the awards.

Kola-Ogunlade added that Nigerian singing sensation, Augustine Miles Kelechi, popularly known with his stage name, Tekno, had released a new single entitled “Mama”.

“The Afro-pop singer featured Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (Wizkid) in the single.

“The two, who were reportedly at loggerheads over some social media comments, have put aside their differences to make good music.

“Fans of both singers went on Google to get more information about the new single,’’ he said.

He said that the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics ( ASUP ) planned nationwide strike due to the Federal Government’s inability to fulfill an outstanding agreement with the union, also got attention online.

“Concerned students raced to Google to read more about the impending strike,’’ he said.

Kola-Ogunlade said that the reported removal of the Zimbabwean Leader, Robert Mugabe, from office in what was called a “bloodless transition,” got people’s attention online.

“This brings an end to President Mugabe’s 37-year rule of the Republic of Zimbabwe. Concerned Africans raced to Google to get updates about the situation,’’ he said.

Google Trends launched in May, 2006, allows one to see how popular search terms and their demography have been overtime on Google.

Hundreds of people led by Co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Group, Oby Ezekwesili, on Thursday marched to the Presidential villa in protest of UNIMAID lecturers yet to be released by Boko Haram terrorists.

The protesters were seen demanding for justice for the kidnapped UNIMAID Lecturers and 16 women in the hands of terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The protesters accused the Buhari’s government of being insensitive to the plights of citizens.

They were seen with placards with inscriptions like ” We demand the rescue of UNIMAD lecturers” ‘No Nigerian should be left in the hands of terrorists.” The primary responsibility of government is the protection of lives and properties’ ‘Demand rescue of 20 abducted lassa women.”

However, they were prevented by security operatives from getting to the Villa.

After a media storm surrounding Bobrisky's arrest by the Police - which was allegedly triggered by a petition submitted against him by former friend turned enemy, Toyin Lawani, he was bailed out of Jail in Abuja today.

Although he's staying silent about the case for now, while lodged in a hotel, he thanked his 'bae' and 'godfathers' for their help and support. So, who are the 'godfathers' behind Bobrisky?
