KANO - A mispronunciation taken to be blasphemous in Nigeria's north sparked a riot by Muslim youths Thursday, leaving four people dead as well as a church and shops burnt, police and residents said. "What happened in (the town of) Bichi was misinformation," Kano state police chief Ibrahim Idris told reporters. "Rumours went round that someone blasphemed the Prophet and there was a breakdown of law and order." Residents reported four people dead along with the church and Christian-owned shops burnt. Soldiers and policemen deployed in the town. 
The riot came on the same day that former British prime minister Tony Blair and the incoming spiritual head of the world's Anglicans Justin Welby launched an initiative in the Nigerian capital Abuja aimed at Muslim-Christian reconciliation. According to Idris, a Christian tailor mispronounced the name of a dress while chatting with his Muslim neighbour in Hausa, the major language spoken in the north, changing the meaning to 'the Prophet has come to the market'. Idris however denied anyone was killed, though residents spoke of the deaths. Bichi is located some 30 kilometres (18 miles) from Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north. "Four Igbos were killed in the attacks. One of them was thrown into a ditch near my house," one resident said, referring to a mainly Christian ethnic group. "Scores of shops owned by Christians and a church were burnt by a large mob of Muslim youth who set bonfires on the road and disrupted traffic."
Gunmen suspected to be ritualists have invaded the Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre at Sanubi Town in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, taking away three inmates in the process. They were said to have stormed the centre in a commando-like style and ordered all those present to lie face down.
The bandits thereafter kidnapped three inmates on treatment before escaping to unknown destination. But the police, who trailed the hoodlums, following a distressed call from anonymous source, later rescued the victims at Ugolo-Orogun. Delta State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Charles Muka confirmed the failed abduction attempt to Daily Sun yesterday in Asaba.Muka said based on information, the hoodlums were trailed to Ugolo-Orogun and on noticing that police were closing in on them, they abandoned the victims and escaped. The police image-maker said no arrest had been made, but that the command had spread its dragnets to trap the fleeing bandits.
A Houston jury has reached a decision on the sentencing phase of the trial against Jessica Tata, a daycare owner whose home caught fire, killing and injuring several children.
On November 13, Tata was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 80 years in prison.Tata, 24, left children in a home on Crest Park near Waypark alone with a pan of grease heating on a stove while she went shopping on February 24, 2011.When she got home, the house was on fire. Elias, Shomari d**kerson, 3; Elizabeth Kojah, 20 months, and Kendyll Stradford, 20 months, all died in the fire. Three other children were hurt.Jurors took eight hours to decide on punishment. Tata will be eligible for parole in 30 years.
Tata wiped away tears as her attorney, Mike DeGeurin, said the fire and deaths were an accident. He said Tata made a mistake and never intended for the children to be hurt because she loved them.“She should have called for help or she should have said to herself, ‘I’ll wait until they wake up, change their diapers, I’ll load them up in the car and we’ll go shopping together,’” DeGeurin said. “But she didn’t.”DeGeurin said that Tata will forever pay, no matter how long she spends in prison, for using bad judgment.
What would one person do with 120 Pairs of Christian Louboutin? that's just a brand, not to talk of several other brands of shoes. That's not all, the same person also has in her collection 30 Hermes bags, costing on the average about £5000 each, meaning for the Hermes bags alone that about £150,000 Pounds. 
The Louboutins at about £500 each would come to £60,000. That's £210,000 for just 2 brands in the wardrobe of a 28 years old woman, estimated to £300 Million Pounds.
Mind you, the Hermes bags is only estimated at its cheapest, some are between £5000 to as much as £150,000 Pounds. Remember also, that the Louboutins are not the Nigerian type ones. So welcome to Tamara Ecclestone's world.Most probably if a poll is conducted, its might just reveal that Nigerians wear more Louboutins and carry more Hermes than other nationalities of the world.
This sounds hilarious. Franziska, 33 from Germany, who weighs nine stone is accused of ‘attempted manslaughter with a weapon’ after her 13-stone boyfriend claimed she tried to smother him with her breasts and pretend it was a sex game.
She denies the claim saying it was a sex game and he knew what it was all about.Tim Schmidt told the German court that although they had had a difficult relationship, until then everything in the bedroom had been normal.‘The incident happened in May, we were having sex,’ he said. ‘She was sitting on me unclad and I was kissing her breasts. Suddenly she grabbed my head and pushed between her breasts with all of her force.‘I couldn’t breathe any more, I must have turned blue. I couldn’t tear myself free and I thought I was going to die.’He said that with his last reserves of strength he had managed to extricate himself from the woman’s vice-like grip and fled unclad to a neighbour and demanded he called the police.Mr Schmidt said when they met four years ago, the couple had been completely in love.He said: ‘Everything was great between us – and I would have done everything for her. But it started to go wrong when I got my first job as a lawyer and we moved to Unna.‘She could not hold down a job and just had one part-time job after the other. And the better my career went – the worst it seemed to be for her.’He said Franziska tried to kill him after learning he was planning to leave her.‘It is clear she wanted to kill me,’ he said. ‘She even admitted it to me on the telephone. I asked her why she wanted to smother me to death with her breasts and she told me: “Treasure – I wanted your death to be as pleasurable as possible.”
