Body of six-year old boy murdered ritual-style in UK identified as a Nigerian

The body of a dismembered child found in River Thames 10 years ago has been identified as that of a Nigerian. This is the little boy whose headless and limbless body was found floating in the River Thames in 2001.

The five-year-old’s identity has remained a mystery after he was smuggled into Britain and murdered in a voodoo-style ritual killing. Tests revealed that the child was poisoned with an extract from the carabar bean which would have left him paralysed but conscious when his throat was cut. He was identified as Ikpomwosa.

It’s also being reported that detectives will fly into Nigeria to investigate the boy’s murder.

I am not part of any campaign for GEJ - eLDee

In this article, Eldee exonerates himself from any associations with the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Presidential Campaign or any other presidential campaign. An initiative he and some musicians formed to encourage participation in the elections through a free concert has now been misrepresented to seem like he and other musicians are in support of GEJ. This was done by an edited TV commercial and a newspaper advert with his name and picture, among other artists, advertising the GEJ Presidential concert.  The concert is set to hold in Abuja  tomorrow, 25^th March and he has said he won’t be there.

Can’t wait to see those musicians who are GEJ loyalists….

I really don’t understand. Why all this waste? We are complaining of poverty in our country, yet our people are damaging properties worth millions of naira. And they were all new cars!

Indian Hemp is good for my baby - Pregnant woman

A pregnant woman, Funmilayo Adeboye, was caught smoking ‘igbo’ in public, but she claimed it was good for her baby.

She has been sent to Kirikiri prison in Apapa, Lagos for smoking marijuana in public place at Igando area Lagos. She confessed to the police that she was taking the substance because it was good for her and the baby she was carrying in her womb.

Fumilayo revealed she was introduced into smoking the weeds by her husband, Kehinde some years back and since then she was not only smoking but also selling it with her husband. After making a confessional statement, her husband was invited but he refused to show up at the station.

Why not let the baby grow up and make a choice instead of saying it’s ‘good’ for him or her….

The heaviest 3-year old

At 132lbs, Lu Hao is already five times the size of a normal child his age.

The three-year-old toddler from China eats a staggering THREE bowls of rice when he sits down for a family meal.

When Lu Hao was born he weighed just 2.6kg however, from the time he was three months old he began to gain weight rapidly. Now, his mother is unable to carry him and he goes to kindergarten every day on his motorcycle because he hates walking.

To push Hao to do more sports, the family installed a basketball hoop in the yard and often take him to swim in a local river. But the exercise just makes him hungrier and results in him putting on more weight.

Jonathan’s Campaign Office Burnt Down in Uyo amidst clashes

Up to 18 party supporters have reportedly died today in Uyo and several vehicles belonging to the Akwa Ibom governor campaign were burnt as supporters of Akpan Udoedeghe, the candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) clashed with those of Godswill Akpabio of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The trouble reportedly began when Mr. Udoedeghe’s campaign train was prevented from campaigning in Governor's Godswill Akpabio’s senatorial district and Akpabio's loyalists forced the ACN candidate’s campaign out of the area.

Both sides then retreated to Uyo, the state capital, and engaged in a bloody fight. Later on, the ACN supporters then stormed the campaign headquarters of Goodluck Jonathan and Sambo in the city and razed it down.  A pool of brand new cars bought by the governor was also incinerated by the angry protesters.

 All these killings are totally unnecessary…

The mother who had another woman’s baby by mistake

Carolyn  and Sean Savage, a couple who embarked on the fertility treatment they hoped would give them a longed-for fourth child were shocked when a phone call that was to devastate their lives came just after Carolyn’s morning sickness had started.

The head of the fertility clinic broke the news to Sean that Carolyn was pregnant — but not with their child. The mix-up had happened because the other mother’s maiden name, marked on the vials containing the maturing embryos, was similar to Savage.

The situation — so desperately unfair for both couples involved — could have resulted in lengthy courtroom battles to determine whose child Logan actually was.

However it didn’t because she gave up the baby just minutes after his birth. Logan’s genetic parents, Shannon and Paul Morell, took him home from hospital, and have cared for him ever since.

Na wa o... this technology sef... How can a woman carry a baby in her womb for nine months and you say it isn’t hers!! It must have been hard to let go.

Oge Okoye recently returned from London where she had her second baby. Here are excerpts from a recent interview.

Why did you choose to have your baby in London?
I feel more at ease in London than any other country. Don’t forget that I was born there too. Besides, I want a better life for my kids.

Does it have something to do with the citizenship thing?
Of course yes. I am a British too. I just want a good life for them when they get older and also for them to be able to move around the world freely without hiccups. I believe they will have a better life with their British citizenship.

Are you saying you don’t believe or have faith in Nigeria?

I just know that the step I took for my kids on their nationality is the best for them. I know what I am doing honestly. Nigeria is a good country and there is hope of it becoming better but I have my reasons. My kids will all have British citizenship.

Thug raped 30 year-old virgin as people drove by

A sex attacker who raped a virgin on a town centre pavement as motorists drove by without stopping has been jailed.

Gary Gunstone stalked the woman through the streets of Bideford, North Devon, just after midnight as she walked to her parents home after visiting her boyfriend. He dragged her to the ground and raped her in full view of passing drivers. He later bragged to police that she had agreed to sex there and then.

Gunstone was jailed at Exeter crown court on Tuesday for a minimum of four years and three months as a judge said the parole board would decide if and when he can be released.
She was a 30-year-old virgin who had a regular boyfriend for eight years and wished to remain with that status until her wedding night.

One bizarre feature of this case is that a couple of times cars went by as he was raping her on the side of the road. He was prepared to rape her right on the pavement without any apparent concern for being detected. He made no attempt to hide what he was doing. It was just something he wanted to do there and then and he did it.

How sad...

An Ambassador who can't recite the National Anthem

The Senate has confirmed the ambassadorial appointment of Ijeoma Bristol, who COULD NOT recite the National Anthem when she appeared before it a fortnight ago, on compassionate grounds.

Mrs Bristol, from Anambra State, had failed to impress the senate committee on foreign affairs at a screening of ambassadorial nominees. She was not able to recite both the national anthem and the pledge. She could also not say the capital of Jigawa State.

Despite her shortcomings, the senate’s foreign affairs committee recommended that she should be approved for the job “so that she will retire as an ambassador”.

Jubril Aminu (PDP Adamawa State), head of the senate committee on foreign affairs, told the senate that even though he was personally against Mrs Bristol’s approval for the job and had advised that she go and learn about Nigeria first, majority of the committee members were lobbied to approve her.

Can you imagine? Anything goes in this country. I might as well be an Ambassador for Czechoslovakia!!!

Rapper, Nate Dogg dies at 41

Snoop Dogg's cousin - real name Nathaniel Hale - passed away on Tuesday following a lengthy battle with numerous health issues.

Hale, whose cause of death is not yet known, suffered a series of strokes in 2007 and 2008, which left him paralysed down the left side of his body.

His pal Warren G appealed to fans in November asking them to help contribute to the star's medical costs as he underwent a lengthy rehabilitation process to regain the ability to walk and talk.

Hale rose to fame with Snoop Dogg and Warren G when they formed group 213. Dr. Dre heard their demo at a house party in Long Beach, California and signed them to Death Row Records in 1993. Hale also appeared on tracks with stars including Tupac Shakur, Mark Ronson and Eminem.

May his soul Rest In Peace.

Four-month old baby survives Japan Tsunami

Miracles still do happen. A four-month old baby was found amid the rubble by soldiers from the Japanese Defence Force who had been going from door to door, pulling bodies from the devastated homes in Ishinomaki, a coastal town northeast of Sendai.

The sound of a baby’s cry amid the rubble seemed so impossible that soldiers searching a tsunami-smashed village dismissed it as a mistake. But it came again. And they realised they had not been hearing things. They pulled away wood and and slate, dug back thick oozing mud – and there was the child they were to describe as a ‘tiny miracle’

The four-month-old girl had been swept from her parents’ arms in the shattered village of Ishinomaki when the deadly wave crashed into the family home.

She was later reunited with her father...

I pray for more miracles….

Forbes lists P-Diddy as Hip-Hop's richest man

Forbes has named US rapper and entertainment mogul Sean John Combs better known as Diddy as ‘hip-hop’s wealthiest artiste’.

Diddy who over the years has successfully run his Bad Boy Records label imprint, has also ventured into other areas such as fashion (Sean John Clothing), movie production and most recently his Diageo joint-venture vodka brand Ciroc. All these plus other side ventures take the 41 year old to the top of the list with  $475 million.

The list continues with producer Dr. Dre in third place with $125 Million, while 50 Cent and Birdman tie at fourth with $100 Million.
