Pope Francis calls for abolition of death penalties

Pope Francis calls for abolition of death penalties

By Unknown   16:34   No comments:

Pope Francis issued a ringing call to action on behalf of immigrants Thursday, urging lawmakers to embrace "the stranger in our midst" as he became the first pontiff in history to address a joint meeting of the legislators.

Referencing the migration crisis in Europe as well as the United States' own struggle with immigration from Latin America, Francis summoned lawmakers "to respond in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal."

"We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best as we can to their situation," Francis urged.

Meek Mill – “I’m Not Sorry For Dissing Drake”

Meek Mill – “I’m Not Sorry For Dissing Drake”

By Unknown   15:32   No comments:

In a new chat with GQ magazine, the 28-year-old rapper has refused to back down and apologize for dissing Drake.

“And of course you know Meek Mill never regrets anything,” Meek said when asked if he is sorry for calling out Drake.

Meek’s girlfriend, Nicki Minaj however stated that although she’s not in support of Meek attacking the Canadian rapper, she can’t control what Meek does.

“And that’s the thing people don’t understand. Meek is a grown a*s man. I may not agree with everything he says,” she said.

We earlier reported that Meek called out Drake on Twitter on July 21 and said he had used a ghostwriter for his raps:“Stop comparing Drake to me too…. He don’t write his own raps! That’s why he ain’t tweet my album because we found out! The whole game know forreal they scared to tell the truth! I can’t wait tok these guys and sit back and act like they don’t know!” Meek tweeted.

He also said: “Even tho they in different lanes…Dude is all the way outta it lol. He ain’t even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album….. I don’t trick my fans! Lol.”

In a rambling Instagram comment in August, Meek doesn’t exactly take back anything that he’s said, but he does make it clear that he wants the fighting to stop once and for all.

I Had Planned To “Hide” For 12 Months – GEJ

I Had Planned To “Hide” For 12 Months – GEJ

By Unknown   14:00   No comments:

The immediate former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan yesterday during his visit to Ikenna, where himself and his wife had gone to pay the Awolowos a condolence visit on the passing away of their mother, grandmother and great grandmother, said if not for the death of the aged woman and how important she was to the nation, himself and his wife wouldn’t have been seen publicly like this. He said they had planned to “Hide” for 12 months shortly after leaving office, but mama’s death was one which they couldn’t over look. His words below.

“Within this period, myself and my wife have been hiding; we don’t even go out. We thought we’ll be hiding for at least 12 months. But in this particular case, we cannot hide. So, we’ve come for the condolence and to encourage our brothers and sisters that we are together,” he said.

On the passing of Mrs. Awolowo, Jonathan said it was a great loss, but that he took solace in the fact that death is an inevitable end that would come when it would come.

“So, we know it would come for all of us one day and here we are today,” he said.

“We have been coming here because the former secretary to the government did mention that the last time I came here it was associated with the last presidential electioneering campaign. But before, I’ve been here severally to see mama in one way or the other,” the former president said.

“We are mourning her today; me and my wife, we are not mourning because mama has passed on. For me, we believe that it’s a rare privilege to add extra 29 years to the Biblical two scores and ten; it’s not easy.

“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have been mourning but mama was a rare mother. She was a woman of virtue described in the Bible and she was a mother to all of us; a mother that her milk of kindness we still need, her milk of encouragement we still need, her milk of advice we still need and today she’s no more with us.

“But for me and my wife and members of our delegation, some of them include the former leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Mulikat Adeola. Of course, Gbenga Daniel has been here severally but he was the one who led us into this hall. My good friend, Jide Adeniji, the former chairman of FERMA and others. Mrs. Kuku from Bayelsa State and others that joined us; we have come to pay our last respect,” he stated.

Married woman died after sleeping with four Chinese workers for 40K In Akwa Ibom

Married woman died after sleeping with four Chinese workers for 40K In Akwa Ibom

By Unknown   09:00   No comments:

According to thekillerpunch.com, a messy sex scandal has blown up in the face of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Deacon Udom Emmanuel. Sources in Awa, Governor Udom Emmanuel’s village in Onna local government area, said the deadly act took place about three weeks ago but information about the calamity is just coming into the open now.
The details of the steamy story of gang sex, booze and death are that Chinese construction workers who are currently building a multi-billion naira country mansion for the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, in his home town of Awa, one day about three weeks ago felt like satisfying the desire of the flesh after being separated from their spouses for months. So the Chinese men reportedly commissioned a local man who worked with them on site to arrange a woman for them to help them ease tension.

According to the sources, the Chinese construction workers who wanted escapades were four in all. Their love-vendor brought a local married woman, who they agreed to pay N40,000 at a rate of N10,000 per man. The woman’s name was given as Mrs Mercy Samuel Akpa Umoh of Udo Okpon family in Ikot Ishiet village in Onna local government area. It is gathered that after some negotiation, the woman agreed to sleep with the four Chinese construction workers four the N40,000 with each man taking his turn.

Once the fee was agreed, the marathon sex session began. But somewhere into the act, tragedy struck. The woman, who must have had too much from the four agile young men, died while Udom’s construction workers were taking their turns against her.

A storm followed. On learning of the incident, the husband of the deceased, Mr Samuel Akpa Umoh, informed his family members about what had had happened. A complaint was laid with the village head. Samuel’s family members and the biological family members of his deceased wife, who was from the family of Ufot Mbe in Ikot Ebiere village in Onna local area, came together in grief and anger and planned to storm Udom’s construction site to get the Chinese culprits.

The governor was promptly tipped off. He wasted no time in rushing home to hold a peace meeting with the families of the deceased. After much negotiation, the governor was allegedly asked to seal the lips of the grieving families with a compensation of N20,000,000 (twenty million naira). He promptly paid the money and begged them not to ever tell anyone about what happened.

He allegedly pleaded with the families of the deceased to cooperate with him and hush up the matter to avoid giving his political opponents a weapon to fight him with. He explained to them that if the fatal sex scandal leaked it would be seized upon by his political opponents to embarrass him with it, adding that the losers will not be the Chinese but his administration.

Two Children Burn to Death at Osun Fuel Station Fire Outbreak (Photo)

Two Children Burn to Death at Osun Fuel Station Fire Outbreak (Photo)

By Unknown   08:30   No comments:

There was pandemonium in Osogbo, Osun State, on Wednesday, as two kids of the same mother were burnt to death when Bovas Filling Station in front of Osogbo Grammar School, went up in flames. 

It was gathered that the victims were children of the owner of the filling station. Their mother suffered burns in the process of trying to rescue them.

Although she was said to have succeeded in rescuing one, she lost the two kids to the mysterious fire.

The remains of the kids were said to have been deposited at the Ladoke Akintola University of 
Technology Mortuary, while their mum was taken to the same hospital for treatment.

Eyewitnesses said the woman and her three children were inside the mini market attached to the filling station when the fire started. The woman was said to have escaped with one of the kids, but the other two kids were burnt alive.

One of the eyewitnesses said the two kids dodged beside a refrigerator inside the supermarket, but they were killed when the fire gutted the fridge and the compressor exploded.

The witness, Williams Ojo, said firefighters arrived at the scene late, saying that was why the fire was able to cause so much damage.

Ojo said the fire could have been caused by a spark from the refrigerator. He added that the damage had already been done before the arrival of the firefighters.

The Director of the Osun State Fire Service, Mr. Michael Ogundipe, confirmed the deaths.

He said:

“Two lives were lost in the fire. We have not detected the cause of the fire. We responded immediately we were called. We sent two vehicles. We have equipment, but there was congestion on the road, which slowed down their movement.
“We met the fire burning, but I observed that the construction of the building did not follow the guideline. There was no exit route. No fire extinguisher was there. They would have been able to battle the fire if they had extinguishers.”

Firefighters were struggling to put off the fire which also destroyed a Toyota Corolla as of the time of filing this report.

Some sympathisers who spoke to Punch at the scene said the owner of the station was one of the honest petroleum marketers in the state, saying he never sold beyond the government approved price of N87 per litre even at the height of the fuel crisis.

Some motorists, who corroborated this, called on security agencies to carry out proper investigation to know the cause of the inferno. - See more at: http://www.lailasblog.com/2015/09/2-children-burn-to-death-at-osun-fuel.html#sthash.0oSLNKqa.dpuf

Photos of Palestinian teen shot dead by Israeli forces emerge

Photos of Palestinian teen shot dead by Israeli forces emerge

By Unknown   08:03   No comments:

Photos have emerged of the moment an Israeli soldier aimed his rifle at a Palestinian teen killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Hebron, Sky News reports.

The photos, posted on the Facebook page of the Palestinian activist group Youth Against Settlements, show the soldier aiming his weapon at 18-year-old Hadeel al-Hashlamon, who was wearing a black hijab, from a short distance away.

The Israeli military claims the woman approached a checkpoint, activating the metal detector and alerting the troops’ suspicion. These suspicions were raised when al-Hashlamon reportedly ignored their instructions and pulled out a knife.


"At this point, forces fired at the ground, then at her lower extremities in attempts to stop her advancement. The perpetrator continued and, at this point, recognizing a clear and present danger to their safety, the forces fired toward her," the military told the Associated Press.

Al-Hashlamon was taken to an Israeli hospital in critical condition Tuesday. Her father said she later died of her wounds. No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the incident.


A Palestinian witness on Wednesday is disputing the account, saying the woman was exiting the checkpoint when she was shot.

"One of the soldiers stopped her and shot toward the floor, the girl stopped like a needle, she didn't move," Fawaz Abu Eisheh told The Associated Press. Several other soldiers then surrounded her and shouting ensued.

"In the middle of all this shouting, one of the soldiers shot directly at her left leg, she fell down and didn't move," Abu Eisheh added. "After 10 to 15 seconds later, he shot another bullet at her right leg; after 10 seconds, he shot four, five bullets at her abdomen and chest area; and then after five, 10 seconds he shot another bullet from one meter away.”

The woman's father, Salah al-Hashlamon, also states the story differently, telling the Associated Press his "daughter was killed in cold blood" after she declined an officer’s request to remove her veil.

"Then he shouted at her, saying, ‘Do you have a knife?'" he added. He says his daughter got confused and as she "stepped back, he [the soldier] opened fire and killed her."

The father did not witness the incident and says he bases his version of the story on what people present at the checkpoint told him.

"I have eyewitnesses, I have photos, and will go to court," he said.

The violence comes amid escalating hostilities surrounding Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. The site has been a flashpoint for violence in recent days.

Tensions boiled over last week on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah when Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque and threw rocks and firecrackers at officers. An Israeli man was killed in Jerusalem when Palestinians pelted his car with rocks. Palestinian stabbing attacks against soldiers in the West Bank are also fairly common.
