ZIMBABWE MAN IN COURT FOR MUGABE BIRTHDAY JOKE

A Zimbabwean man has appeared in court for joking in a bar about whether President Robert Mugabe was strong enough to blow up the balloons for his 88th birthday party last week, his lawyer said. Richmore Chazi was arrested while drinking with friends in a bar in Mutare while watching the live coverage of Mugabe's birthday rally held in the eastern city on Saturday. "Chazi is being charged for insulting and undermining the authority of the president and will come back to court on March 12 for routine remand," his lawyer Blessing Nyamaropa told AFP. He has been released on $20 bail when he appeared in court on Monday. Zimbabwe police regularly arrest people who joke about Mugabe, who has ruled the country since independence from Britain in 1980.

BEN MURRAY BRUCE GETS POLITICAL APPOINTMENT

You may recall that back in Oct 2011, Ben Bruce resigned as Chairman of Silverbird group to pursue a governor-ship bid in his home state of bayelsa but was dropped for possesing dual citizenship. Well now, much to my amazement, that dual citizenship has not denied him a political appointment in the same bayelsa state, where he would now serve as an honorary special adviser to the governor Seriake Dickson. In a statement made available to pressmen, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson says Mr. Bruce, 54, is expected to perform in advisory capacity as a 'Special Adviser on Investment and Tourism, drawing on his wealth of experience in show business garnered over the years. The move is intended to maximally boost Bayelsa state's tourism sector, harnessing the vast economic potentials of its aquatic environment.

2 STUDENTS SHOT AS ARMED ROBBERS INVADE BABCOCK

A gang of armed robbers was reported to have invaded Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State and attacked two commercial banks located within the premises of the private university on Wednesday. The affected banks were Wema and Zenith Banks Plc. The incident was said to have sent panic among students as well as academic and non-teaching staff of the institution who scampered for safety while the operation lasted. It was gathered that the bandits, numbering seven, arrived the university in a green Nissan Quest car and shot sporadically into the air to scare away people. The robbers were said to have succeeded in gaining entrance into the Wema Bank and eventually carted away undisclosed amount of money from the vaults. Eyewitnesses said the robbers vandalised the nearby Zenith Bank after a failed attempt to break into it. The three other bank situated in the vicinity, were spared by the bandits who allegedly operated for 20 minutes unchallenged. The Ogun state Commissioner of Police

TWITPIC - KIM K MIGHT MARRY A SAUDI PRINCE

Okay! There was a time she was in saudi arabia, only back then she was still married to kris, but it looks like even though she was, she managed to hook up with some arabian billionaires who gave her their numbers and told her they were serious about dating her, I think they meant- if she was single again, I don't think they would have dated her while she was still married. Anyway I hear one of them is a billionaire prince and he was the one who probably requested kim to twit a picture of herself in sweat pants, like she's done already. Looks like kim has her eyes set on becoming royalty at any cost. More gist on this as time goes by.

SAPELE WOMAN BEATS HUSBANDS TO DEATH

I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't telling the story of what happened to a 13year old boy on Friday, Steven Imagbe, as he watched his mother beat his father to death during a heated argument over payment of school fees. The argument, according to report, was prompted by the refusal of the victim to play the traditional role of a father when he turned down request by his wife, Mrs Stella Imagbe to pay the two terms school fees of their only child. The victim, Andrew Imagbe, a casual worker with a wood treatment factory Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area had bluntly told his wife that he had no money for the school fees of his child following a pending case of an allegation of infidelity against her when the woman allegedly threw the first punch. Mr. Andrew Imagbe who was said to be having a meal of Eba and Okro soup stood up and was advancing towards the woman obviously to teach her a lesson of her life when the woman allegedly hit the man on his head with a broken wooden

HIV+ MAID LACES BABY'S FOOD WITH HER BLOOD

A 17-year-old HIV positive maid from Mupandawana, Zimbabwe, laced the porridge of her employer's four-year-old child with menstrual blood. This was revealed in court where the maid's cruelty earned her a 10-year prison term on Friday. She will effectively serve eight years as two years were suspended on condition of good behaviour. The maid "Pelagia Mureya", carried out the disgusting act several times until luck ran out for her when one day her employer, last week noticed a drop of blood when her child was eating porridge and investigated. The maid professed ignorance of the blood but her inquisitive employer took the porridge, her child and the maid to a local Hospital where tests confirmed it was Mureya's menstrual blood. The toddlers mother immediately pressed charges against her, leading to her arrest.

IBORI'S LIFE OF CRIME - SAHARA REPORTERS REVEAL THE IBORI STORY

Culled from Sahara Reporters site, the story you are about to read will grip you. Former Governor James Onanefe Ibori of Delta State today entered a guilty plea at his money laundering trial at a Southwark Crown Court in London, the UK. Our correspondent described the former governor as looking pensive, distracted and subdued as he entered his plea. A Nigerian activist visiting London and who witnessed today's court session added, "I could not believe that the morose man who stood in court today is the same James Ibori that paraded Abuja as a 'PDP elder.'" Mr. Ibori's admission of guilt closed the chapter on arguably the most dramatic judicial and political saga involving a Nigerian public official in recent years. Today's development came as a stunning finale to one of the most phenomenal money laundering and fraud cases spanning seven years of an intensive manhunt. That drama ended as the once powerful former governor, who loved to be flattered with his

ASA'S N700M HOMOSEXUALITY COURT CASE STILL ON

We could say Asa isn't taking any comments about her sexuality lying down. As the french/Naija singer on thursday continued her N700m law suit against "News of the People" for calling her a lesbian in one of its weekly publications. Although well represented by her legal counsel Abraham & Co, at a Lagos high court, the judge could not pass any ruling as neither Asa nor her manager Janet Nwose were present at the hearing which was compulsory for Asa to attend as the defandant had requested to ask her some questions at thursday's hearing. The defandants did however plea that they were not the originators of the story that called Asa a lesbian and that they had retrieved such information from an internet celebrity news website, when asked by Asa's counsel to bring forward the name of the website the defendants have not being able to provide their source. The case was however adjourned to April to give enough time for Asa to be in Lagos.

NO FEWER THAN 30 PEOPLE DIE IN A BOKO HARAM ATTACK AT A FISH MARKET IN KANO

Gunmen believed to be members of the Islamist sect Boko Haram on Monday afternoon stormed the fish section of Baga market and sprayed stallholders and vendors with bullets, traders said. People at the market said they believe the attack on Monday came because traders helped to apprehend an armed boko haram member who was handed over to security agencies and later killed. There have been very conflicting reports on the number of casualty as authorities try to downplay the figures of civilian casualty, but Witnesses and medics said some 30 people died. One fish vendor said in anonymity that he lost two brothers in the attack. He said there was an explosion but he and his brothers chose not to run away at that stage. Untill..."A few minutes after, one of my brothers shouted 'Oh! they have killed me', then another one similarly shouted, 'they have also shot me'. That was when I fled," he said shortly after burying the brothers aged 29 and 31. Source : Associated P

CROCODILE BITE TEARS MAN'S TESTICLES TO SHRED

Swimming across the Chivake river without his trousers on, a 70year old man from Zimbabwe escaped death from a crocodile attack but had his testicles completely shredded in the egg{I meant "in the end"} Jonah Maturure told the Sunday News that he'd taken off his trousers and put them in a tomato box above his head before he crossed the river. He'd crossed the same spot in the same river several times before, but this time, a giant croc was waiting for him and he didn't know it. "I was not suspecting anything ... But when I was almost in the middle of the river I was attacked," he told the news website. "It mauled a chunk of my buttocks before attacking my manhood, tearing my testicles into shreds. The skin covering my manhood was partly torn but I quickly put my thumb in its mouth ... It then grabbed my hand and I could hear my bones cracking." Realizing that he wasn't going to save his personal possessions, he threw his tomato box in the r

PASTOR CHRIS SAYS MASTURBATION IS NOT A SIN.

Is this wisdom or what? Coming from the man I call my favourite pastor. On live tv Pastor chris oyakhilome responded to a believer's question from ghana on how to stop masturbation, by saying: "...in itself it is not a sin against God"... He said masturbation is just another habit similar to playing football. Full response below; "The reason you want to stop this is because of what you think it is, you think there's something wrong with this. Get this straight, in itself it is not a sin against God but satan uses it to opress our minds to make us feel ineffective and inefficient in the things of God. God has got nothing to do with it, He is not offended by it unless it takes a hold of your mind"{End of Quote} OMG I don't know what to think now, I like his preachings, but this! O may God!
