Blind Mother Sells Her Four Newborn Children Because... (PHOTOS)

 

A blind Chinese woman has admitted to selling four of her new-born children to support her family because her husband can't hold down a steady job.

Between 2005 and 2012, Du Xiurong, from Shibei Village in Mianyang, south-west China's Sichuan Province, sold four of her new newborn babies - three girls and one boy. In total Du has given birth to six children, but has only kept her eldest son and eldest daughter.
'I have no other choice. If I were not blinded I wouldn't have to do this,' she said. 'I am not selling them out, but giving them away. In return I only charge a bit for pregnancy fees. I love babies. If I were capable, I definitely would bring them up. But I really can't support them. I then find them good families to adopt them.'

Senator Loses N5m To Fake Governor

 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has no time for rest. A fraudster, Fidelis Tapgun, who is suspected to impersonate a former Plateau State Governor, and allegedly duped a serving senator of N5 million has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Vincent Bulus Venman a.k.a Fidelis Tapgun, was arrested at a bank branch in Jos, Plateau State. He was attempting to withdraw the sum of N2 million sent to him as a bait by the serving senator whom he had earlier defrauded of N5m by claiming to be Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun.
The fraudster's intention was to further milk the senator after collecting N5 million sent to him in two installments through the account name, Venman Vincent Bulus with number 30775681.
His demand for another N2 million after collecting N5 million got the senator suspicious which triggered a petition to the EFCC. The Commission swiftly initiated investigation and advised the senator to play along.
The suspect was subsequently nabbed as he tried to withdraw the money sent to him. Items recovered from him include the sum of N2.5 million, a Toyota Prado SUV 2012 model and a bank saving account withdrawal booklet.
The suspect will soon be arraigned in court.

It would seem to be something you'd see only in a cartoon or at a Phish concert, but according to park rangers in New South Wales, Australia, dozens of giant, fluorescent pink slugs have been popping up on a mountaintop there.
"As bright pink as you can imagine, that's how pink they are," Michael Murphy, a ranger with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "On a good morning, you can walk around and see hundreds of them."
The eight-inch creatures have been spotted only on Mount Kaputar, a 5,000-foot peak in the Nandewar Range in northern New South Wales.

Serena Williams Destroys Sorana Cirstea In The Third Round

 

Serena Williams took just 61 minutes to book her place in the fourth round of the French Open as she destroyed Sorana Cirstea 6-0 6-2 at Roland Garros.

The American world No 1 extended her winning streak to 27 matches with another dominant performance in Paris.
Romanian Cirstea, the 26th seed, needed eight matches and 33 minutes to make her mark on the scoreboard, a feat that was greeted by sympathetic cheers from the crowd.
After her dismal start Cirstea even had two break points to lead 3-2 in the second set but Williams simply stepped on the accelerator again to clinch the victory.
Williams has dropped just six games in three matches as she goes in search of the 16th Grand Slam title of her career.
The 31-year-old, who won her only French Open title in 2002, will now play either Czech Petra Cetkovska or Italy's Roberta Vinci.

2015 Presidency: North May Sanction Pro-Jonathan Politicians

 Indications emerged, Thursday, that the north might sanction prominent politicians from the region found to be fraternising with President Goodluck Jonathan with a view to scuttling its desire of occupying the Presidency in 2015.

It was learnt that the decision to clip the wings of northern politicians who were yet to see the need for the country’s top political office to revert to the region, was taken at a meeting of the Northern Elders’ Forum, NEF, during one of its recent meetings in one of the states, which is under the state of emergency.
At the meeting, which had some governors and many elite from the north in attendance, strategies for voting out President Jonathan was elaborately discussed and agreed upon. It was learnt that one of the weapons to be applied in cajoling influential northerners particularly governors and lawmakers, in railroading into the northern agenda, is to brand the unwilling ones as ‘enemies’ of the region and expose them to public.

10 Skills That Impress Women

 

1 Conversation
Difficulty to acquire: 6/10
Though it might not strike you as much of a skill when you’re shooting the bull with friends, conversation with women — in whom you’re interested and whom you don’t know well — is a skill, and one that takes some practice. Listening and actually paying attention becomes infinitely more important. You want to come across as both confident and empathetic, which is something of a balancing act. Being able to explain and adequately express yourself, though, can easily cover for lacking any of these other skills, which is why it’s so crucial.
2 Style and grooming
Difficulty to Acquire: 2/10
Every guy has his own personal style, but there’s a thin line between hipster carelessness and looking like a slob. It’s better to stay a comfortable distance on the clean-cut side of that line. There’s nothing difficult or even time-consuming about good grooming, but women often complain that men simply don’t bother to take care of their appearances, and the only excuse to let yourself go completely is laziness.

Boko Haram Chief Is A Video Tiger - Army

 

Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram chief, was described by Nigeria's military as a video tiger. The military says that it's an obvious “empty propaganda”  by the Boko Haram’s leader, which claims that soldiers have retreated during an ongoing offensive.

The military insisted that the campaign has heavily damaged the Islamist insurgents. In a video obtained by AFP on Tuesday, Shekau said soldiers have at times “turned and ran” when facing Islamist fighters and rejected military boasting about the success of the operation.
“We consider it as empty propoganda,” defence spokesman Brigadier General Chris Olukolade said of the video.

ACN Dismisses Ladoja, Alao-Akala's Chances In 2015

 

The Action Congress of Nigeria in Oyo State has said former governors Rashidi Ladoja and Adebayo Alao-Akala cannot upstage the ACN-led administration in the state.

The party said this in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Dauda Kolawole, in reaction to a newspaper publication that indicated that the two former governors had set up a 10-man committee to harmonise their ambition to rule the state in 2015.
Describing the re-union as a gang-up of “a sparrow and crocodile”, it said politics in the state, as well as the electorate’s perception transcended the realm of violence for which the former governors were known.

How I Escaped Being Killed By Abacha - Atiku

 

Nigeria’s former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on May 29 – Democracy Day – reflected on Nigeria’s democratic journey so far and concluded that it must be preserved.
The Turakin Adamawa who told a story probably never been heard before by majority of Nigerians in 45 tweets, hoped that it would help “many of our young people who never saw the evils of military rule, appreciate our democratic journey.”
In a tribute to those whom he described as “fallen heroes of democracy,” who are “unsung and oft forgotten”, Atiku went down memory lane to as far back as the late 80′s.
“May 29 is Democracy Day in Nigeria, a day we celebrate democracy. Personally, I celebrate our democracy heroes on the day.
“Yesterday, I promised a story. I will begin shortly.
“In the late 80′s I met Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (SMY). He needed help Customs approvals. We became friends.

27 year old man claims he is former US president Bill Clinton's son

A 27-year-old man, Danney Lee Williams Jr from Arkansas is claiming he is Bill Clinton's secret son.

From Globe Magazine

Bill Clinton has a secret son he fathered with a hooker – and the now 27-year-old young man is desperate to meet his biological dad.

In a bombshell exclusive interview, Danney Lee Williams Jr., the love child the then-governor of Arkansas conceived with ‘working girl’ Bobbie Ann Williams, tells GLOBE he fears Clinton, 66, who’s battling heart disease and also suffers from Parkinson’s, will pass away before they can meet.

England Clear To Face Brazil In Friendly

 England's friendly against Brazil will go ahead on Sunday after a safety certificate was granted for the Maracana stadium.

The fixture had been thrown into doubt when a local judge issued an order saying the match at Rio de Janeiro's renovated ground could not proceed due to safety concerns.
But Judge Adriana Costa dos Santos has reversed her ruling and a statement from the Rio state government confirmed the stadium complies with "all safety rules".
"All safety requirements for the friendly between Brazil and England have been complied with and, because of a bureaucratic failure, the appraisal from the public ministry that proves the compliance with the rules on safety at the Maracana have not been sent to Suderj," the statement read.
Suderj is a division of the Rio de Janeiro state authority that holds responsibility for administrative issues with major sports venues.
The renovation of the 78,000 seater Maracana was completed last month, but a prosecutor submitted a request for the match to be cancelled because of a lack of assurances that work on the stadium had been finalised.
Fears were raised that debris left over by construction workers could be hurled in the event of a disturbance and reports suggested there could be a problem with flooring.
The confusion surrounding this game raises questions about Brazil's readiness to hold the Confederation Cup, which opens in two weeks, as well as next year's World Cup and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Porto Centre-Back Eliaquim Mangala Flattered By Chelsea Link

 

Porto centre-back Eliaquim Mangala has admitted he is flattered to be linked with a summer move to Chelsea under Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho is the red-hot favourite to be named as the next coach of the Stamford Bridge side and is reported to have targeted the France Under-21 international.
Mangala admits one stumbling block to any possible switch could be his desire for regular football, with Chelsea's defensive options currently strong.
John Terry, David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic can all operate at the heart of the defence, meaning the 22-year-old may have to be patient if he moves to the Premier League.
Mangala is quoted as saying by The Sun: "It's flattering because Chelsea are a great club and Mourinho is a great coach.
"I intended to stay in Porto but you never know what will happen in football, especially when big clubs are involved.
"At Porto I play every week and I am involved in the title fight and the Champions League. And that is important to me."

Army Arrests Seven Foreigners Suspected To Be Members Of Boko Haram

 

Five Nigeriens and two Chadians are among the fleeing insurgents apprehended by the Special Forces as troops continue their pursuit of terrorists dislodged from their bases.
The seven according to the Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Christopher Olukolade were among the nine arrested at Tumbu Gini, a border town with Chad as they tried to cross the borders into Chad.
He said the man suspected to be leading the group escaped with gunshot wounds.
He added that the Defence Headquarters has observed that attempts are being made by insurgents and their collaborators to push into public domain, questionable and manipulated messages meant to misinform the public.
The Abubakar Shekau, the Boko Haram leader in a video, which is the group’s first since the emergency declaration, said the group is winning the war against the soldiers.
Mr. Shekau displayed identity cards of soldiers he claimed his group had killed in their operations. He also displayed a destroyed armoured tank he claimed his men bombed.
The group in a rare solidarity cry also sought help from foreign Islamic militants.
Mr. Shekau sought help from militants “who are fighting for Islam in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria and those we can’t mention.”
“We are here fighting those who believe in the constitution and western education. You should all know that we are all in good health,” he said.
The army spokesman however said this message is “clearly a confirmation of the level of pressure which has been brought to bear on the insurgents.”
He urged Nigerians to continue to be calm as there is indeed no cause for alarm as the insurgents are actually in flight, necessitating their call for help from their foreign allies.
The operation to put an end to the activities of insurgents is continuing and in line with overall plans for the nation’s security.

DOLCE & GABANNA DUO GOING TO JAIL OR NOT?

Not the best of times for the design duo of Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana. As we speak jail time is hanging on their heads and about 3 others around them. 

They have been accused of tax evasion and their prosecutor doesn't seem to give a hoot about who they are and what they represent, as he is going very hard asking for 2 and half years jail time for the duo and another board member & that's not all, he is also asking for another 2 years penalty for 2 others & 3 years for their accountant.

Except something major & good intercedes on their behalf, Jail for them is a done deal.

Vincent Bulus Venman a.k.a Fidelis Tapgun Arrested by EFCC

 

A fraudster who impersonated a former Plateau State Governor and allegedly duped a serving senator of N5m has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Vincent Bulus Venman a.k.a Fidelis Tapgun was apprehended at a First Bank of Nigeria Plc branch in Jos, Plateau State while attempting to withdraw the sum of Two Million Naira (N2, 000,000) sent to him as a bait by the serving senator whom he had earlier defrauded of N5m by claiming to be Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun.

Items recovered from him include the sum of N2.5million, a Toyota Prado SUV 2012 model and a First bank saving account withdrawal booklet.
