9-yr-old Albino boy butchered in Malawi for rituals

According to a report in South Malawi News, young Brian was abducted by two members of the gang in early March in Malawi's eastern district of Machinga, with his mutilated body parts found some few days later, with his head and other parts of his body cut off.
A police officer from the district, Isaac Ndala, confirmed the abduction, adding that the kidnappers injured the boy’s mother when she tried to rescue him. Ndala added that a 22-year-old man has been arrested for taking part in the gruesome murder.
According to the police spokesman, Nicholas Gondwa, about 50 criminal offences have been committed against albinos and the number might even be higher than as some incidents may not have been reported to the police.The latest statistics we have are of last year, 2015. Over 50 criminal cases were reported that included killings, abductions, and being found with bones of persons with albinism.
Just imagine, there are even some daredevils who go to cemeteries to dig graves where people with albinism were buried. All that is done in the name of hunting for the body parts or bones of albinos,” Gondwa said.

Nigerian National Assembly Legislators to pass 2016 budget today, March 23

The budget is set to finally be passed after the Senate and the House of Representatives both received the requisite report from the Joint Committee on Appropriation.

 

The National Assembly will expectedly pass the 2016 budget today, March 23, 2016.

The budget is set to finally be passed after the Senate and the House of Representatives both received the requisite report from the Joint Committee on Appropriation.

The report was presented to the Senate by the Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, Senator Danjuma Goje on Tuesday, March 22.

“We have perfected necessary arrangements to ensure that the budget is considered and passed before we proceed on recess tomorrow (Wednesday),” the Chairman, Senate Committee on Education (Basic), Senator Aliyu Wamakko told Punch.

The legislators had earlier said that the document had too many errors and couldn’t be passed as it was.

“We are here in connection with the ongoing processing of the 2016 Budget because these two committees are the ones saddled with the production of the final copies of the budget that would be passed by the National Assembly for onward submission to Mr President for his assent and subsequent implementation,” Goje said on February 9.

“We want to remove all ambiguities, we want to remove all paddings. We want to produce a budget that is in line with the constitutional provision. During the budget defence, a lot of issues based on the padding of the budget, arising from over-bloated overheads and in some instances cases of over-bloated personnel cost. But generally, there has been a lot of issues. The appropriation committee would look at these issues after the whole budget defence and do a very thorough work aimed at doing a proper clean-up of the budget," he added.

The budget has been the centre of controversy since it was reported missing from the Assembly premises in January.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki later said that two different versions of the document had been submitted to the legislative house.

The controversy led to the sacking of the Director General of the budget office, Yahaya Gusau and the redeployment of 22 officials from the Ministry of Budget and National Planning.

Obasanjo, I don’t regret helping Jonathan become president

Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he does not regret helping his successor, Goodluck Jonathan become Nigeria’s number one citizen.

Obasanjo said further that he supported Jonathan in order to grant the minority a chance to rule the country.

The former president made the comments during a recent interview, according to Vanguard.

“I believe that Nigeria politics will be strengthened even more if we have the opportunity to allow the minority in its own right to emerge as President, and I do not have any apology for anybody because the purpose I wanted Nigeria to achieve had been achieved,” Obasanjo said.

“That any Nigerian can become president, it is not a regret for Nigeria and for me because Nigeria gave him that opportunity, he used, abused, misused as he wished and at the appropriate time, Nigerians said thank you for what you have done and what you have not done and Nigeria said bye bye, which is the beauty of democracy,” he added.

Obasanjo became a major critic of Jonathan towards the end of the latter’s administration and at one time compared Jonathan’s regime to that of late dictator, Sani Abacha.

Chris Brown slammed his ex-girlfriend Karreuche Tran for her singing talent.

Christopher Maurice, 26, popularly known as Chris Brown has been in the news again and as usual it is not for something good.On Friday, March 11, 2016 Chris Brown slammed his ex-girlfriend Karreuche Tran for her singing talent.

“I wish u the most successful career ever, but I promise you this, once this ‘TALENT’ you have starts to simmer, so will everyone else including [Manager] Jacob [York], all of your famous friends know u how? How? How? How? How? .. Ok. So to end this petty game that’s gonna allow u to book more club appearances and ‘MOVIES’ that go straight to DVD I’ll leave you this [heart emoji]!” wrote the singer.

Karreuche Tran wasted no time in replying her troublesome ex. “You’re calling me a bitch yet you’re screaming my name in a song about getting back together?” she wrote. “CAN ALL THIS PETTY S--T STOP. IT IS SO UNNECESSARY. You have a beautiful daughter and so much to live for. LIVE YOUR LIFE and be positive. I am so over the drama! I just wanna work and be happy and take care of my family. Every f--king day it’s something new!!! And all you f--ks get your life and laughs from this s--t show.. I am MUHF--KIN’ tied!!”

At this point even the staunchest Chris Brown is tired of the pop star’s antics. It seems whenever his life is getting peaceful he somehow manages to mess things up. After a brief period of calmness in his life Chris Brown has started stirring things up again.

On March 6, 2016 Chris Brown dissed his own fans after they criticized his rather expensive clothing line Black Pyramid. “So, some of these so-called fans are complaining about $70 shirts, $90 shirts. What the fuck you be talking bout when you say you buy 10 to 15 album? How much is that bitch?” he says in an Instagram video.

Now why will Chris Brown go and do something as stupid as dissing his fans? Chris Brown loves putting his foot in his mouth and it seems he isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

Some of his fans will tell you that he is a young man and there is too much pressure on him from his haters and the media. This could be true but there comes a time when a man must take responsibility for his actions. It is high time for Chris Brown to man up.

No one feels pity for him anymore that’s because he has blown all the chances he had. Chris Brown is extremely talented but he seems interested in stirring trouble instead of having a great career.

Of course he has had a wonderful career considering what happened on that fateful day in 2009. His career could be a whole lot better if he stays away from trouble and bad press.

His tantrums are childish and unexpected from a man. It is high time Chris Brown puts his house in order or by the time he is 35 he will be completely washed up.

There are no more excuses for Chris Brown. It's time he mans up.

Ibinabo Fiberesima ,, Court upholds actress' 5-year jail term

The news reports reveal that the Nollywood actress had been sentenced to five years imprisonment by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi presiding over a Lagos High Court for reckless driving resulting in the death of a hospital staff of a Lagos State hospital.
 

Ibinabo Fiberesima's appeal of her 5-yr jail term, has reportedly been dismissed by a Lagos High Court, today, Friday, March 11, 2016.

Ibinabo Fiberesima's appeal of her 5-yr jail term, has reportedly been dismissed by a Lagos High Court, today, Friday, March 11, 2016.

 

The Nollywood actress had been sentenced to five years imprisonment by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi presiding over a Lagos High Court for reckless driving, resulting in the death of a hospital staff of a Lagos State hospital.

Fiberesima had allegedly driven her car recklessly along the Lekki-Epe Expressway when she knocked down a man, Giwa Suraj.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that a Magistrate court of first instance had earlier handed the appellant an option of N100,000 fine for the offence.

The reports reveal that the judgment of the magistrate had been set aside by the high court, replacing the option of fine with a five-year jail term.

Fiberesima had then filed an appeal through her lawyer, Mr Nnaemeka Amaechina, appealing to the court to set aside the five-year sentence.

The appellate court had dismissed Fiberisima's appeal, reaffirming the decision unanimous decision of the Lagos High Court, delivered by Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur.

The court's reasons being that the trial Magistrate Court lacked the appropriate discretion to have granted Ibinabo an option of fine following her conviction, adding that the appeal lacked merit, dismissing it.

Other members of the panel included, Justice U.I. Ndukwe-Anyanwu (presiding) and Justice Tijani Abubakar.

Justice Oluwayemi of the trial court added that the magistrate had exercised "judicial recklessness" when he decided to give Fiberesima an option of a fine.

The court noted that the trial court may have based its decision on the allocutus made by the counsel to the convict being that she is a working mother.

Justice Oluwayemi argued that Sections 28 of the Traffic Law under which Fiberesima had been convicted, did not give an option of fine.

She said:

"When a term of imprisonment is mandatory for an offence, the court cannot and should not give an option of fine."

Justice Oluwayemi insisted that the fine would not have served the purpose of justice in the case, adding that the N100,000 be returned to the appellant.

 

Jennifer Lopez 'Donald Trump can't become US president'

 

Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity to come after Donald Trump after racially-charged violence erupted at his latest public gathering.The 'American Idol' judge is now calling on everyone who cares to listen, including her millions of fans to do everything possible to make sure Trump is not elected US next president.

It's obvious that Trump's bid for the White House continues to float in dangerous waters as he's constantly bashed from every corner by celebrities, especially those from the Latin and Black communities.

Trump has been accused of inciting hatred and racism in America instead of unifying all races when he preached against Latin immigrants during one of his campaign speeches. He said he would build a huge wall at the border between America and Mexico to avoid interaction and trade.

During her appearance at Pitbull's latest ‘ gig hours ago, the 'Enough' actress declared: "We need to take all the mother******* energy in here to make certain that (Donald) Trump is not elected!"

Lopez declaration comes after her Pop sibling Katy Perry threw her support behind his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton who, like Trump believe it or not, has seen her credibility as a politician thrown into disrepute as new voters dig deeper into her professional past before they cast their votes.

Babak Zanjanis Lawyers appeal billionaire death sentence

He has now been sentenced to death having been found guilty of corruption, though his lawyers have appealed that he be released so he can pay back the money he owes

The lawyers of Iranian billionaire, Babak Zanjani who has been sentenced to death on charges of corruption have appealed for clemency.

He allegedly owes the Iranian government  $1.9bn in oil money and new claims were laid against him later on.

Zanjani is a business man who went from trading sheepskins in the 1980s to becoming a key player in selling Iran's oil in the years when crippling international sanctions were imposed over the country's nuclear programme.

He is never reluctant to show off his possessions which include private jets and luxury cars, rubbing shoulders with top government officials.

It is quite a spectacle how he made so much money in Iran's restrictive economy, which came to be due to sanctions based on the country's nuclear programme.

Soon the media started reporting about him, and when Hassan Rouhani took office, Zanjani was arrested and accused of corruption and embezzlement.

He has now been sentenced to death having been found guilty of corruption, and his lawyers have appealed that he be released so he can pay back the money he owes.

According to the BBC, the soon to be executed Zanjani called himself a hero, an economic soldier of the Islamic revolution who came to his country's rescue when the government could not sell oil or, even if they did, no international banks would agree to transfer Iran's money due to the sanctions.
