1  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Teenager in Court for Allegedly Killing His Mum with a Machete on: 30-07-2013 08:35 PM
Teenager in Court for Allegedly Killing His Mum with a MacheteAn Osogbo Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday remanded Ezekiel Adenipekun, 18, for allegedly killing his mother with a machete.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Wilson Meriti, told the court that the accused committed the offence on July 21 at about 3 p.m. at Irojo area of Ilesha, Osun.
Mr. Meriti alleged that the accused inflicted machete cuts on his mother, Funmilayo, while she was sleeping in her room.
He said the accused inflicted severe cuts on the victim’s neck, which subsequently resulted in her death.
The prosecutor said the offence committed was contrary to and punishable under section 316(1) of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol.11 Laws of Osun, 2003.
The plea of the accused was, however, not taken because of the capital nature of the offence.
Magistrate Habbibat Basiru ordered that the accused be remanded in Ilesha Prison.
Ms. Basiru also directed that the case file be duplicated and forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
The case was adjourned to October 23 for mention.

2  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Five Useful Tips to Fight Tooth Ache on: 30-07-2013 07:40 PM

Five Useful Tips to Fight Tooth AcheTooth decay is the primary cause of toothaches for most children and adults. Bacteria that live in your mouth thrive on the sugars and starches in the food you eat. These bacteria form a sticky plaque that clings to the surface of your teeth.
Acids produced by the bacteria in plaque can eat through the hard, white coating on the outside of your teeth (enamel), creating a cavity. The first sign of decay may be a sensation of pain when you eat something sweet, very cold or very hot. A toothache often indicates that your dentist will need to work on your teeth.
 
Self-care tips
Until you can see your dentist, try these self-care tips for a toothache:
1. Rinse your mouth with warm water.
2. Use dental floss to remove any food particles wedged between your teeth.
3. Take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever to dull the ache.
4. Apply an OTC antiseptic containing benzocaine directly to the irritated tooth and gum to temporarily relieve pain. Benzocaine has been linked to a rare but serious, sometimes deadly, condition (methemoglobinemia) that decreases the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry. Don’t use benzocaine in children younger than age 2 without supervision from a health care professional, because this age group has been the most affected. Never use more than the recommended dose of benzocaine. Direct application of oil of cloves (eugenol) also may help. Don’t place aspirin or another painkiller directly against your gums, as it may burn your gum tissue.
5. Address a professional dentist:
a. When you have signs of infection, such as swelling, pain when you bite, red gums or a foul-tasting discharge;
b. If the pain persists for more than a day or two;
c. When you have fever with the toothache;
d. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing.

3  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Russian Police Brutalise and Sodomise Olympic Construction Worker on: 30-07-2013 07:34 PM

Russian Police Allegedly Brutalize and Sodomize Olympic Construction WorkerPolice in the Russian city of Sochi, which is due in 2014 to host the Winter Olympics, allegedly beat and raped a construction worker over a pay dispute amounting to around 20,000 Russian roubles (N97,500).
Vocativ reports that Martiros Demerchyan, a construction worker who spent seven weeks working on housing for the Winter Olympics was accused of stealing copper wire by his supervisor, after he said he was underpaid by 20,000 roubles (N97,500).
After consenting to a search of his home, Demerchyan was told to go to pick up his pay from his supervisor, but says he was greeted instead by police officers.
He said he was encouraged by police to sign a document admitting he stole the copper wire, but when he refused, he was beaten up, had two teeth cracked, before losing consciousness.
The 38-year-old then said he was bent over and raped with a fireman’s crowbar.
“I screamed,” he said. “I said, ‘I’ll sign whatever you want, just please don’t torture me anymore. I can’t bear any more of this.’”
A medical report from a private medical centre in Sochi read that he had received two broken teeth, as well as “intestinal injuries obtained from penetration by a foreign object.”
According to Vocativ, a representative for the Okhotskaya Building Company, which is responsible for the work Demerchyan was doing, refused to comment on the incident.
A lawyer acting on behalf of Demerchyan, Alexander Boychenko, accused police of negligence in their handling of the case – saying the officer in charge took a month, rather than the maximum three days – to consider the case. The officer then decided that the case was not worth pursuing.
Some have argued that the delay was a tactic in order to allow Demerchyan’s wounds to heal in order to see a court be less sympathetic.
Demerchyan has said he still suffers from reduced vision and lower back pain and kidneys. He has also borrowed as much money as he can to support his four children and wife, but that he does not see justice in sight.
Some campaigners have called for a boycott of the Winter Olympics, set to take place in Sochi next year, because of anti-gay laws recently introduced in Russia.
A number of British and American gay bars have said that they will boycott Russian vodka. One of the most popular Russian sourced vodkas, Stoli, has criticised the anti-gay policies of the Russian government.

4  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / 77 Killed, 242 Injured... The Culprit Applies to University on: 30-07-2013 07:21 PM
Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik has applied to study politics at the University of Oslo, triggering fevered debate among university staff, who look likely to be forced to accept him.
During his trial last year, friends of the far-Right extremist pointed to his decision to drop out of high school before graduating, despite higher than average grades, as a key turning point in his pathway to extremism.

Knut Bjarkeid, the director at Ila Prison, where Breivik is serving a 21-year sentence, said he would encourage such a move.

"The prison will always try to pave the way for inmates to get a formal education, so that they are able to get a job when they come out," he told Norway's TV 2 channel.

However, several members of teaching staff at the department of Political Science, who wished to remain anonymous, told the channel that they would refuse to teach the far-Right extremist.

Ole Petter Ottersen, the University's Rector, said: "I understand that there will be reactions. It is human."

But he explained that the University would assess Breivik's application on its own merits.

"We cannot refuse anyone the chance of studying at the University of Oslo," he said. "We have to follow the technical rules for admission."

Breivik killed 77 people and wounded 242 others when he detonated a bomb in central Oslo and then opened fire at a Labour party youth camp in July 2011.

6  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Obasanjo, A Troublesome Student At National Open University; Says Vice Chancello on: 30-07-2013 05:02 PM
“When Obasanjo became a student of the institution, he thought that it was an easy thing to do. When he was given all the courses, he realised it wasn’t easy and so he had to defer his admission. He said 'I would not take part in this until I finished my tenure as President'. So he never studied while he was the President until he completed his tenure, then he started the course.

"He did a Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Theology. He was a very troublesome student because he will not start calling until 12 mid night and keep you online until about 2.00a.m. Every time he gives us trouble, we pray that he graduates...

"[At last] he did and his certificate was valid."

The Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Professor Vincent Ado Tenebe, on Monday gave a glimpse into former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s time as a student of the institution.

He said in the course of his study, Obasanjo told him: “I want to do the same thing others are doing.”


Prof. Tenebe, who commended Obasanjo for giving a new lease of life to NOUN during his administration in 2002, stated that: “President Obasanjo, when he became a student which he did by example, resuscitated the university.... The university was in dormancy until when civilian rule under Obasanjo came on board and re-cooperated the university in 2002 while in 2003, we started our academic programmes.

Speaking on whether Obasanjo influenced his good result in any way, Prof. Tenebe said:
“Obasanjo was a very brilliant student and I can tell you there were lots of controversies when his papers were being marked. I won’t disclose the secret of how our papers are marked but it is marked from Port Harcourt to Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri and the markers will never know whose paper they are marking. So the old man is intelligent, his certificate is valid and was done according to rules and regulations of the Nigerian University Commission.”

7  Forum / The Buzz Central / "If my husband cheats, I will castrate him' - Uche Jombo says in new interview on: 30-07-2013 04:54 PM

In this interview with Sam Olatunji, Uche Jombo speaks on cheating and new movie ‘Unconditional’.

What is it with the celebrity kids on your new movie, ‘Unconditional’?

We didn’t set out to use celebrity kids. I told everyone including you the age range I want and people suggested the kids. Aghahowa’s daughter has wanted to act since age 5, we auditioned Chigozie, and she did well and got a coach to coach them. 2face’s daughter is just a drama queen. And this movie, Unconditional is not all about them, Dakore, Ruth Kadiri and I acted in it. It’s the kind of move that will touch the heart.
If your husband were to be a serial philanderer like Desmond’s character in the movie, Lies Men Tell, what will you do?
[/color]
I will castrate him, he knows and believes that. To me, there is no excuse to cheat, its either you are with someone or not, and if you are tired of the person, please accord the person decency of respect by saying it’s over. Don’t go making someone look stupid. The problem with me is there is no in- between.
Do you believe what you are saying or are you saying it for the purpose of this interview?
I am saying,Uche Jombo-Rodrigues doesn’t have in-between. That is the reason it takes me long time to make a decision or take a stand on something, but when I do, that is it. There is no excuse not to honour an agreement you have made, this doesn’t have anything to do with this interview. It is the principle that guides me. It is not just about marriage, it’s how I conduct my relationships, its either it is this or that, if that is mymind-set in a relationship, you should know that for marriage it’ll be 150%. There is no room for cheating.

So you believe your husband will or should not cheat on you?

I don’t have control over what someone will do, I’m not God. I’m talking about me, how I conduct things. It’s not an option that it will happen, I will not tolerate cheating.

Are you saying you will not forgive the man who cheats on you and is manly enough to say I’m sorry?
If you are in that situation Sam, oh God! You are going to slave for me for life. And do you know any man that will want to slave for a woman for life, answer?

Is it true you are older than your husband and the man you dated before him?

I have never dated or married someone I was older than in my life. If you have the illusion of someone’s age, that is your business, and I am even too mature for my age. That is the problem, because men of my age are ‘small boys’ around me, I can’t date them. I am someone who has to become a mother to some of my siblings at the age of 14. Because you are an under-achiever does not mean I should play down on my achievement. If age is the yard stick for you to succeed, you should not judge people with it, I don’t have an apology. If I’m learning from people who are older than me that is because I don’t hang out with my age mates; I don’t think there is anything else you want to teach me, and if you want to judge me by the people I hang out with or by when I started my hustle, where the hell were you at that time?  What really matters to me is that people who know me during my not-too-proud days are so proud that, this is me now. I have come far, it’s something I’m grateful for, and I couldn’t have even written it better if it were a story.

9  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Why Benin Airport Is Shut, Passengers Stranded on: 30-07-2013 04:50 PM

The administrative office of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, located inside the ever busy Benin City airport was this morning shut down by the Edo Board of Internal Revenue (BIR), over alleged unremitted N15 million Pay As You Earn (PAYE) deductible tax from staff salary.
Why Benin Airport Is Shut, Passengers Stranded?
Passengers stranded at Benin Airport after it was shut this morning
Hundreds of air passengers who were to travel by air to either Lagos or Abuja were locked out of the entrance and exit gates of the airport.
Also, passengers of the only Arik aeroplane which landed early in the morning were neither allowed to go out of the gates of the airport.
Chairman of Edo BIR, Chief Oseni Elamah told reporters that the action followed failure of FAAN to remit N15 million pay as you earn (PAYE) tax deductible from workers’ salary for the year 2011.
“In the past, we had to use judicial means to get the money from them. This time, we served them notice but they failed to respond to it.
We had to serve them court notice to that effect, which they still did not respond to. Hence, we had to come and seal up their administrative office.”
It was, however, gathered that the office was shut, the airport management allegedly locked the two gates leading to the airport, making it impossible for passengers to either go in or come out of the airport.
Following this development, Chief Elamah, who supervised the exercise, had the gates opened, saying that it was the administrative office of FAAN that was locked, and not gates of the airport.
“It was a deliberate attempt to blackmail us. It was their office we sealed, and not the gates,” Elamah said.
The Benin City airport manager, Mr. Sunday Ayodele could not be reached for comments as he was seen whisked away by operatives of the State Security Service.
Meanwhile, air travellers were stranded in other parts of Nigeria on Tuesday after the Benin airport was shut.
Between eight and ten flights operate at the Benin airport daily and only one Arik Air plane had successfully landed before the sudden closure.
“We landed this morning but we cannot take off again. The airport is shut,” said Banji Ola, spokesperson at Arik Air.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, condemned the closure, saying that the Edo State Government does not have the right to shut the airport.
“Edo State Government shut down Benin Airport in pursuit of tenement rates. Article 25 of the act establishing FAAN exempts the authority from such payments,” said Yakubu Dati, spokesperson of FAAN.
“The Authority shall be exempted from the payment of taxes and tenement rates and any arrears whatsoever in connection thereto,” states the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria Act 2004 establishing Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria.

10  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / HORROR: Nurse Sets 11-Yr Old Girl Ablaze For Being Hungry on: 30-07-2013 04:48 PM
Doctors at the General Hospital, Gbagada, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, are seriously battling to save the life of an 11-year old girl, Ita Bassey-Eno, who was allegedly set ablaze by the woman she lives with, Mrs Nkese Iroakazi, a nurse at a hospital in Surulere.
Nurse Sets 11-Yr Old Girl Ablaze For Being Hungry
Ita Bassey-Eno in critical condition
Iroakazi was alleged to have poured kerosene on Bassey-Eno before lighting a match stick to set her ablaze after the girl was said to have stolen a piece of meat from the pot.
Witnesses said the girl ran out of their apartment at 7, Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, unto to the main road with fire all over her body as she cried for help from passers-by to rescue her.
It was gathered that someone quickly stopped his vehicle and used his fire extinguisher to put out the flame on her body.
The incident, which occurred last Saturday, was immediately reported at the Bode Thomas Police Station and the police from the station arrested Mrs. Nkese.
The little girl was rushed to the Burns and Trauma Centre, an annex of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital at the General Hospital, Gbagada, for urgent attention as the doctors in the hospital said she had suffered 95 percent burns and would take a miracle for her to survive.
Bassey-Eno’s private part was damaged, while almost all her body is burnt. The whole of her body, except her face and her feet, are bandaged, while she wears pampers because her private part was damaged.
On her hospital bed on Monday the little was groaning in pains while health officials described Nkese as callous woman and that she must be made to face the music.
Executive Director, Esther Child Rights Foundation, ECRF, Mrs. Esther Ogwu, who was at the hospital to see the girl, wept when she saw her pathetic state, saying that in all her life as human rights activist, she had never come across such a gruesome case as that of the little girl. According to Ogwu, the situation is terrible.
The doctor said the girl suffered 95 percent burns and that her private part has been damaged. This woman is more than wicked. Justice must take its course.
“One of the health officials at the General Hospital, Gbagada called me and said a woman poured kerosene on the little girl staying with her and lit up a match stick and set her ablaze.
The girl ran out of the house to the main road where a Good Samaritan used her car fire extinguisher to put out the fire.”
Little Bassey-Eno, who hails from Akwa Ibom State, southsouth Nigeria, was brought from the village with another girl, Happiness Okon-Bassey, 13, to live with Nkese in June 2013 on the premose that she would send them to school, but that was not to be as the two girls allegedly performed the function of domestic servants for Nkese.
The second house girl, Okon-Bassey, said she did not see when her colleague was set ablaze but that she heard her screaming when their mistress was beating her shortly before the she saw flame all over her body when she ran outside their home.

12  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / RED HANDED: Mother Catches Teacher Under Her Teenage Daughter's Bed on: 30-07-2013 04:43 PM
A schoolgirl's suspicious mum surprised her by coming home early — and was horrified to look under the teen’s bed and find her math teacher.
He and the 16-year-old had sneaked back to the house on the last day of term when the mother suddenly turned up.
She began searching the house for a boy — and was aghast when she discovered the 35-year-old skulking under the mattress.
She called cops who yesterday confirmed: “A man was arrested on suspicion of abusing a position of trust.”
A source said: “The pair had gone back to the girl’s house because they thought no one would be there. But the mum came home earlier than expected and caught them.
“She went into her daughter’s room and found the teacher hiding under the bed. It was a terrible shock. I think she had only come home to grab some lunch. The mum went berserk.”
The teacher cannot be identified for legal reasons. The school head — whose staff were last year rated “outstanding” by Ofsted — refused to say if the teacher had been suspended.
Officials there said: “The school is co-operating fully with the ongoing investigation.”
A police spokesman added: “Officers and a number of partner agencies are investigating the circumstances leading up to the incident.
“This investigation will also look at any safeguarding issues that need to be addressed and establish if any offences have been committed.”
The probe comes barely a month after maths teacher Jeremy Forrest, 31, was jailed for running off to France with a girl aged 15. He got 5½ years at Lewes Crown Court in East Sussex for abduction and segxwal activity with a child. His victim, now 16, has vowed to marry him when he gets out.

Warri-born Singer, Omawumi has been accused of allegedly attacking a photo-journalist at an event held in Lagos recently.
While carrying out his lawful duty, the photo-journalist, Adekola Bamigbala attempted to take pictures of Omawumi, but little did he know that danger was lurking around for him, as the singer allegedly pounced on him, snatched his big camera and with it, dealt him heavy strikes in the face in quick succession, which gave Bamigbala a swollen face.
It was big and strange flashes, not from his camera, but from alleged assaults from Omawumi that the journalist could see.
Omawumi was given a call but a lady, who claimed not to be her, refused to speak when she found out the reason for the call.
The singer still has not responded to the SMS sent to her.
The victim, Bamigbala wondered why Omawumi would descend so low to attack him as he could not remember having any issues with her.

15  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Obasanjo was a very troublesome student - VC, NOUN on: 30-07-2013 01:51 PM

The former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo proved to be 'a very troublesome student' after he had decided to acquire more knowledge by matriculating into the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in 2007. The Vice Chancellor of the NOUN, Professor Vincent Ado Tenebe, speaking on Monday at an interactive session organised by the Kaduna State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), provided some insight to the academic life of the former President. He also gave credit to Obasanjo who, as President, in 2002 brought the university out of dormancy, and academic activities commenced in 2003.
It would be recalled that Olusegun Obasanjo, who stepped down in 2007, has become the country's oldest undergraduate by enrolling at the Open University at the age of 69.
The Vice Chancellor of the NOUN narrated the university came into existence by an act of the National Assembly during the reign of President Shehu Shagari in 1982. Unfortunately, before the university could establish itself, the Military regime that took over suspended the act, and that was the reason the university was in dormancy. Then, according to the Vice Chancellor, 'the civilian rule under Obasanjo came on board and re cooperated the university in 2002, while in 2003 we started our academic programmes.'
"President Obasanjo, when he became a student, resuscitated the university," Tenebe added.
"When Obasanjo became a student of the institution, he thought that it was an easy thing to do.
"When he was given all the courses, he realised it wasn't easy, and so, he had to defer his admission.
"He said 'I would not take part in this until I finished my tenure as President,' and so he never studied while he was the President until he completed his tenure, then he started the course.
"He did a Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Theology.
"He was a very troublesome student because he will not start calling until 12 mid night and keep you online until about 2.00a.m.
"Every time he gives us trouble, we pray that he graduates, of which he did, and his certificate was valid.
"In the course of his study, Obasanjo said he wanted to sit among the students: 'I want to do the same thing others are doing,'" the Vice Chancellor recalled Obasanjo saying, and continued, "Obasanjo was a very brilliant student, and I can tell you there were lots of controversy when his papers were being marked.
"I won't disclose the secret of how our papers are marked; but it is marked from Port Harcourt to Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri -- and the markers will never know whose paper they are marking.
"So the old man is intelligent, his certificate is valid and was done according rules and regulations of the Nigerian University Commission (NUC)."
On accreditation of courses in the university, Professor Tenebe said they had subjected 31 of their programmes to accreditation and had 30 of them, while the one that was denied accreditation was getting ready for the accreditation as NUC had gone through their book and certified that their Nursing programme was up to standard.
"On that note, they've allowed us to graduate students and students of nursing also participated in our convocation. They graduated and were given our certificate. So if anybody is holding the certificate of NOUN as a graduate of Nursing, any employer can confirm that from the NUC.
"Talking about school of Law, it is one of the youngest schools in NOUN and we are yet to graduate our students.
"Some of our students are now getting to the final year, and, like I told you earlier, we have gone through the NUC accreditation, and they have passed us. Now we are preparing for the Legal Council and Education and we are going to do that in conjunction with the NUC. And that, I will continue to say that our law students are equal to the task, they can compete with any law students from any university in the world not only Nigeria.
"I can assure you that by the time we will present our curriculum to the Legal Council and Education, I am confident that we are going to pass. As I speak to you there is what is called National Competition that all universities that have faculty of law compete every year. NOUN is currently the champion. I told you I have five VCs of other universities among my law students and an experienced Monarch," Prof. Tenebe said.

So for me, I mean, I look at the bigger picture. I look at people like Wizkid, Iyanya, Tuface, DBanj, Iceprince. They are getting MOBOs, BET awards. So, those are the people I'm like, I'm coming for you guys.

I'm guessing Davido is thinking - 'what a six pack can do for you, my pocket can do far better'.
So no need to hit the gym.
Davido is balling! He actually just got back to Lagos some hours ago after his show in Kenya.

Wande Coal after years of staying loyal to his bosses, Dbanj and Don Jazzy has allegedly finally parted ways with Mavin Records owned by Don Jazzy to form his own label known as Black Diamond Entertainment.
During the post Mohit era which saw Dbanj and Don Jazzy parting ways to form their own record label, Wande Coal pitched his tent with the super producer, Don Jazzy and released a number of hits under the Mavin blueprint.


With the likes of Wizkid and Iyanya running their own label and making it bigtime, Wande Coal finally summoned the courage to untie himself from the apron strings of Mavin to become his own boss.

His new single ‘Kilaju’ produced by Maleek Berry, which dropped yesterday was released under his Black Diamond imprint.

A member of his new team who pleaded anonymity confirmed the split saying WC’s twitter bio says it all, while attempt to reach Don Jazzy was not possible as at the time of filing this report.

20  Forum / The Buzz Central / Michael Jackson's Doctor Planning To Reveal ‘Explosive’ Secrets After Prison on: 30-07-2013 01:22 PM
Conrad Murray is reportedly threatening to reveal ‘explosive‘ secrets about Michael Jackson and his family on TV when he is released from prison in October.

The disgraced former doctor – who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after delivering a fatal dose of Propofol to the King of Pop in June 2009 – has reportedly been fielding multi-million dollar deals to tell-all about the late singer and his family when he is granted an early release from prison in October.

Murray has warned the ‘Thriller‘ star’s family that if they continue to push him ‘to the limit’ by slating him in the press and in their wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoters AEG Live, he will not hesitate to dish the dirt on Michael’s relatives – which he claims could ‘tarnish’ their reputations.

In a statement obtained by the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "Though I have encountered so much sorrow and I have a great deal of explosive information that is fodder for tarnishing images, I’ve remained loyal to Michael and to foes over the past four years.

"I will continue to be faithful and endure unless and until I’m pushed to the limit and endurance is no more."

The jailed physician has angered Michael’s family by refusing to aid his motherKatherine Jackson’s $100 million lawsuit against AEG – who she claims is responsible for the star’s death by negligently hiring Murray – and has insisted he won’t give evidence in the trial.

Meanwhile, it was recently confirmed that Murray will receive early release from prison in October for good behaviour.

Murray – who lost his medical license when he was found guilty – was jailed in November 2011 and will leave prison having served just under half of his four-year sentence.
