The Criterion, an association of Muslim women in business and different professions, said in a statement that the government must do all it can to protect Muslims, Muslim clerics and various Islamic institutions in Nigeria.
“In an e-mail dated 14 April, 2013, the militant group threatened to commence ‘the bombings of Mosques, hajj camps, Islamic institutions and Islamic clerics and large congregation of Islamic events ‘in defence of Christianity’.
“The Criterion wonders whether MEND is acting alone in its proposed terror campaign or it is acting the script of other groups and individuals who had expressed similar anti-Islam views in the past,” said Dr. Shareefah Labo-Popoola, the Criterion National President.
The group argued that most of the attacks by the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic sect were targeted at Muslims and Muslim institutions, and claimed the lives of many Muslims.
The Criterion condemned Boko Haram killings, saying that they are ‘un-Islamic.
“The violent group has distorted core Islamic concepts and are only disguising as Muslims to drum up support for their misguided conducts,” the statement read.
“Islam forbids a Muslim to take another person’s life irrespective of creed or race. Islam is a religion of peace and preaches sanctity of all human lives irrespective of their religious affiliations.
“It is also written in the last message delivered by Prophet Muhammed (SAW) that the life of a Muslim is sacred to another Muslim, however, Boko Haram has repeatedly ignored these teachings by killing innocent citizens mostly Muslims in the northern part of the country,” The Criterion said.
The group said it rejects any form of violence from either Boko Haram or MEND.
“Muslims just like Christians have equal rights to practice their religion as entrenched in the constitution. No group should be allowed under any disguise to perpetrate evil.
“We call on the Federal Government to employ all lawful means to stop the evil of the two groups in view of the fact that in any war or violent situation, women and children suffer most,” the group urged.
No fewer than six persons died on Sunday in a fatal accident which occurred along the Enugu Onitsha Expressway, in Enugu State.
An eye witness told DailyPost that the accident involved a Mercedes trailer with registration number XC 288 ASB and a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number XA 725 AGW.
He said the trailer, while trying to avoid a pothole on the only functioning lane in the expressway, collided with the bus killing six persons instantly and leaving four others critically injured.
The Enugu state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident disclosed that “six persons have been confirmed dead, while four others were seriously injured, thus bringing the total number of casualties to ten in a ghastly motor accident that occurred on 14/4/13 along Enugu Onitsha expressway, near former toll gate at 9th Mile corner near Enugu”.
He added that the injured persons have been removed and taken to a nearby hospital for medical assistance.
The PPRO expressed worry over the increasing rate of accident on Nigerian roads, urging motorists to “observe and obey all traffic laws and regulation in order to stay alive”.
He’s popularly known as Ephy Saint in Nairobi, Kenya where he reigns supreme as a model and thespian of note.
This actor cum model is yet to unravel the mystery surrounding his paternity as he claims to be a son to the veteran actor, Pete Edochie popularly known as Okonkwo by movie buffs.
When we, first came out with a bit of the story, so many things happened, Chief Edochie was contacted by Kenyan journalists and he denied, for the fifteenth time, having anything to do with an offspring in Kenya. A call from our office to his line 080920**16* was not picked and even our sms to him was not attended to. In this interview with Alonge Michael of Nigeriafilms.com, this 23 year-old entertainer said he was really bitter that all his effort to meet his father is futile. Please read this interestingly revealing interview.
Tell me a bit about yourself?
I’m 24 years old, raised by an awesome single mother, who I would gladly give an organ to. I am working so hard to live my dream which is to be the best in the world as an actor / model and a movie maker... I love life and have very fun-loving people around me. I always grow to be me and no one else.
How and where did you grow up?
All over, with my mum and my grand folks, in Kenya.
With your mum; how about your father?
Hmmm, I don’t know, I never met him.
Can you tell us why?
I can't …He is a magician ...had me and disappeared, so I can't tell much about him.
How did you now turn up to be who you are?
I was brought up by two strong-willed women, my mum and my grandmother, discipline being the core of my upbringing. So I turned out alright I guess.
As a child, what did you think of becoming?
A model, reason being that, I have always loved glamour.
How did you attain this status in the modeling world?
Remaining consistent in my craft and patience also came in handy.
What's your greatest achievement?
Coming to being.
Do you have any regret?
No ... I believe everything happens for a reason.
What influence does your mum have on you?
She made me love me for who I am and taught me to be real with myself and the people around me. I’m the person I am because of her.
What's that thing about you that you would want to change?
My financial status... I want to make more money ...don't get me wrong, not that I don’t have money now but I want to have enough money because I have a mother and younger sister to take care of.
Aside Kenya, where would you love to live?
My father’s land ... Nigeria
Nigeria?
Yes, Nigeria! I learnt he’s a prominent and well known and respected actor in Nigeria from the South Eastern part of the country, as I am made to believe by my mum. That’s the little I know about him.
Are you sure?
My mum said so, in fact, he’s still very much an active participant in the industry.
Taking a closer look at yourself, who do you think your dad is?
Well, my mum said and I want to believe her that multiple award-winning actor, Pete Edochie is my biological father.
How sure are you?
I can't prove it; I only got wind of it last year.
Can you give us reasons why you can’t prove it?
Distance and lack of information from both of them, my mum and him, that is, my biological father, Pete Edochie.
But does your mum realise that you need to know who your true father is?
She does, she kept it away from me until last year when she told me about it. I was shocked.
Have you made effort to reach Pete Edoche after that revelation?
Yes I have, like any other man who might not be in the know about an existing biological child of his; he denied. Saying he has never been to Kenya in his entire life
Through what means did you reach out to him?
My mum sent someone to him and the person return with his message that he said he never had any fling with anybody in Kenya because he has never been there in his entire life.
What was your reaction when he said that?
It’s either he’s lying or he has a twin brother.
This fact you have is not enough to call him your father….
There are talks here and there that he used to live in Nairobi in Kenya in a small town called Buru Buru.
What year?
1987-1988
Has it ever occurred to you that your mum might not be factual about this?
I believe my mother. She has always been there for me, I don’t see a reason why she would lie or hide any information about my father or paternity. This is not a matter to be joked with.
So she told you that Pete Edochie, Nigerian bearded actor is your father?
Yes she did.
The burden now rests on your shoulders to press further on the paternity issue, since you know your mum is not making a mistake then you should stand as a man to unravel the mystery surrounding your birth.
May be this is how God wants it. In Kenya, I am a big name and I have followership but in God I trust. Thanks for your advice anyway.
What attempt have you made to come to Nigeria and solve this riddle once and for all?
If a man wants nothing to do with me and I believe him to be my father, I also don't want much to do with him.
Doesn’t your mother have a picture or something she can put down as evidence?
She was having a picture of the two of them together, according to her, she gave it to a friend to help trace him and that friend said he has misplaced the picture. Now you can see the critical situation I have been placed.
From the look of things, I guess only DNA can settle this paternity issue?
If he truly hasn't been to Kenya as he claimed and I take him through all that, he will hate me the more, so DNA test seems like a long thing right now. I want to believe that everything happens for a reason. I am made to succeed in life. I am not looking for money or anything from Pete, just his acceptance. But of what use is the success for a man to deny the paternity of his child. It’s cruelty and all of us shall meet to account for our various deeds on earth.
Presently where do you live?
I live in Nairobi, Kenya
If there was just one wish you have, what would it be?
I want a complete family.
What surname do you bear?
Muriithi
How? That’s not a Nigerian name as you claim to have a Nigerian father…
Some other man took responsibility of bringing me up but he also left soon after my sister was born, but his mother brought me up that's why I kept the name. He’s a Kenyan
Did this other guy too divorce your mum or just left like your dad?
Left, my mum was never married to any of them
Modeling or acting; which one pays your bills the most?
They both have taken and given from each other, but modeling pays much better in Kenya.
Lastly, what’s that secret desire?
I would love to be buried in Nigeria, the land of my father.
Thanks for your time?
You are welcome
Until early this year when she posed semi-nude for a New York based magazine, Adokiye Kyrian Yvonne a.k.a Adokiye is relatively unknown in the nation’s music scene.
But immediately after that controversial posture, the sexy singer has become one of the hottest rising female singers in the country. In this recent interview, she speaks on the raunchy photo spread among other issues.
Early this year, you posed semi-nude in a New York based magazine. What was the attraction?
It actually got leaked. I did some modeling jobs while I was in New York and at that point in time, some pictures leaked while the process was still going on. Yes, I posed for some shots, but I never really posed nude. I didn’t expose my private part as a woman. That I exposed my skin doesn’t mean I posed nude. I am an architect by training and creativity is part of my daily routine. So, I didn’t pose nude because I didn’t expose my private part.
We learnt, you were paid handsomely for the job?
Officially, I was paid the sum of $200,000 and a G Wagon Mercedes Benz car for the photo spread in the magazine.
Do you ever regret posing nude?
I have never for once regretted anything I have done in the past. But at the end of the day, I just want people to believe in me that I have got a lot to offer to my fans.
Were your parents pleased when they saw your nude pictures?
My parents are highly understanding people. They know the kind of daughter they have and they also know that whatever I’m doing today doesn’t affect me both psychologically and physically. So, they always support me in anything I’m doing.
What were you doing in New York?
New York is like a second home to me. I travel to New York once in a while.
There was this rumour that you were dating W4. Is it true?
No, we were never in any relationship. But we were just friends and he was a colleague too.
If there's any award for the most secretive celebrity in Nigeria, it will go to no one but your darling A-list actress, Genevieve Nnaji who has done everything possible to shield the privacy of her only daughter and that of her dad.
Though, there had been so many controversies behind the man who fathered Genevieve's daughter, and whilst some school of thoughts are of the opinion that, Genevieve herself cannot boast of who the father is due to the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy because she was so young (she was impregnated at 15), your soar away magazine, National Enquirer which was the first ever tabloid to publish the intimate family pictures of the Nnajis including Genevieve's baby pictures and that of her daughter again discovered a certain man nick-named Acura who claimed he actually impregnated Genevieve and didn’t take the responsibility because of religious factor.
Acura hails from a liberal Christian background while the Nnajis are staunch Catholic who detest giving birth outside wedlock. Acura spoke exclusively to us then but trust Genevieve, all efforts to get her to talk have been abortive. Now, the exclusive pictures you're savouring is that of Chimebuka a.k.a Lily - Genevieve's 18 year old daughter who lives abroad.
The paragon of beauty was recently at the beach where she surrendered her privacy for paparazzi's lenses to click away. She also took some photographs of herself inside a car and another one in a dinner with friends. We even gathered that, she's considering a career in the area of modeling after high school. She's in her final year we scooped.
(CNN) -- In the midst of chaos here on Earth, scientists are finding hope for life on other planets.
Scientists announced Thursday the discovery of three planets that are some of the best candidates so far for habitable worlds outside our own solar system -- and they're very far away.
NASA's Kepler satellite, which is keeping an eye on more than 150,000 stars in hopes of identifying Earth-like planets, found the trio.
Two of the planets -- Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f -- are described in a study released Thursday in the journal, Science. They are part of a five-planet system in which the candidates for life are the farthest from the host star.
The host star -- the equivalent of Earth's sun -- takes the name Kepler-62, where the individual planets are designated by letters thereafter.
The third planet that's potentially habitable, but not included in the Science study, is called Kepler-69c. Liquid water could theoretically exist on the surfaces of any of them, researchers said.
"With all of these discoveries we're finding, Earth is looking less and less like a special place and more like there's Earth-like things everywhere," said Tom Barclay, Kepler scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute in Sonoma, California.
You won't be swimming on the planets anytime soon, though. The Kepler-62 star is 1,200 light years away; Kepler-69 is 2,700 light years away. A light year, the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, is nearly 6 trillion miles.
What are these planets like?
The smaller a planet is, the more likely it's rocky and the less likely it's made of gas, said William Borucki, Kepler science principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Center.
Kepler-62f is thought to be 40% larger than Earth and could be rocky, he said. It goes around its star once every 267.3 days (Earth days, that is).
Kepler-62e appears to be 60% larger than our planet and a little closer to its host star; this one could be a "water world" of mostly deep oceans, he said. It circles its star in 122.4 days.
"All these planets that we're finding are quite different than planets in our own solar system," Borucki said.
Kepler-69c appears to orbit a star similar to Earth's sun, Barclay said. As it's estimated to be about 70% larger than Earth, it may also be a water world, with oceans thousands of kilometers deep.
It's not likely to have a rocky surface, Barclay said. According to what little we know about it, Kepler-69 is probably significantly warmer than Earth.
"Probably, if there is life, it would be very unlike what we see on our own world," Barclay said.
Other worlds that may have life
Borucki said the planets are "by far" better candidates for life than any others we know about, but a handful of others also have been identified as potentially capable of hosting life.
You may recall planet Kepler-22b, which was announced in December 2011 and also was hailed as a potential candidate for hosting life. That planet had a radius 2.4 times that of Earth and is 600 light years away.
Kepler-22b was thought to have a temperature similar to that of Earth, according to modeling by Borucki and colleagues. The planet's host star is dimmer and cooler than our sun, but the planet is also 15% closer than we are to the sun.
There is also a planet called Gliese-581g, discovered in September 2010, which is thought to be even more like Earth than Kepler-22b in terms of its suitability for plants and animals. It's only 20 light years from Earth -- a lot closer than the newly discovered planets, though there has been some controversy about its existence.
In its solar system there is another planet, Gliese-581d, that is also of interest in the search for life, according to the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo. The group's catalog lists a few other candidates.
However, just like the other planets, we haven't seen or tested the atmospheres of any of these planets, so whether they're habitable remains theoretical.
Often, when you find an example of a kind of planet, you start seeing a lot of them, said Sara Seager, professor of planetary science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She used to be part of the Kepler team but is now independent.
"Planets in the habitable zones of stars must be everywhere," she said.
Seager called the discovery of the three planets "a huge milestone," but her excitement is tempered because potentially habitable planets have been announced in the past and there's currently no way to get more details, given how far away they are.
"We'll possibly never know if these particular ones do have water oceans or signs of life," she said.
Identifying planets, not atmospheres
The goal of the Kepler mission wasn't to find alien lifeforms, however. The satellite is supposed to investigate Earth-sized planets around stars that resemble our sun.
The Kepler telescope, launched in 2009, allows scientists to measure changes in brightness of individual stars over time; these dimming events signal that a planet is nearby. Scientists undertake sophisticated calculations to verify that such signals are planets and not passing rocks.
The satellite finds planets that are very far away because it's surveying so many stars. Imagine, said Seager, that you are in Times Square and you want to see 150,000 people at once. You wouldn't be able to do it in such a way that you could see any details of the people; you'd have to get far enough away that that many people would fit into your field of view.
This isn't the only planet-finding technique. The Gliese-581 system was found with the Keck I Telescope in Hawaii, using what is called the radial velocity method. The telescope's spectrometer allows scientists to look for wobbles in the motion of a star, which happens in response to the gravity of nearby planets.
It would take a different kind of mission to investigate the atmosphere of one of these distance planets to find out answers to the most-pressing questions. Is there carbon dioxide and water? Is there oxygen?
"Future NASA missions are going to focus on more nearby stars that we can look at in much more detail," Barclay said.

We have just got reports that young and energetic entertainment lawyer, Efere Ozako of 'Wetin Lawyers Dey Do Sef' talk-show has died.
Efere died in the early hours of today in Lagos shortly after returning from a South African trip last night.
He was reported to have died of cardiac arrest. We gathered that Efere complained of dizziness last night which his family believed was as a result of tiredness arising from his trip.
But before they could say Jack Robinson, the popular copyright lawyer reportedly collapsed. He was pronounced dead before arrival by doctors at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital where he was later rushed to.
A suspected armed robbery kingpin whose gang allegedly killed four policemen in an operation recently has explained why they were able to perform the feat. Oluwole, a.k.a Omoba told Crime Watch at the police headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos that they usually overpower men of the Nigeria Police during gun battle because “we always have enough arms and ammunition."
"We were always armed to the teeth. You see, the police have limited arms and ammunition that they carry about but for us, we always have more than enough.”
According to Omoba, he started armed robbery five years ago and his gang had been successful except recently when they stormed Victoria Garden City (VGC) and met unusual resistance from the police.
“I think, we had been very successful for the past five years. We had robbed in many Southern states until the recent robbery at VGC where two of our members were killed. It was on March 24, the police opened fire on us. The gunshots were from back, front and the two sides. I managed to escaped but Paul and AY were killed.
“It was not like that in other states. [In some areas] when we fire back at police, they used to run for their lives, but these Lagos policemen were shooting and shooting that I asked my men to shoot their ways out. I was shocked with the kind of shooting I experienced that day.
"In fact, since the encounter with the police, I have not gone for any robbery operation. I am still in shock, I wonder why the police were still trailing me,” he said.
On why he choose Ajah and Lekki axis for operations, he said, “I think you know that people don’t keep money at home as they used to do. If we operate in places like Agege, Ejigbo and Ketu, how much can we find in a home? But, in Lekki, VGC and part of Ajah, we have rich men that still keep reasonable amount of money in their homes. My brother, we have to use our brain to work.”
Parading Omoba and three other members of his gang, Lagos Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, said that on April 11, 2013, during a follow up to the robbery operation at VGC, the officer in charge of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) Abba Kyari and his team arrested two armed robbery suspects. He said Alpha Uche who was shot dead during encounter with police and one Ibrahim Akanbi confessed.
The CP warned criminals, especially armed robbers, to leave the state or risked the wrath of the police. “Whether the criminals operate in another state and run to Lagos, we don’t want it, as we will fish them out", he declared.
After spending over six months in the US where she went to deliver, actress Mercy Johnson Okojie is finally back home. She returned to Nigeria with her almost four months old baby girl a few days ago. She will return fully to acting next month.
Over the years, women have always been advised that wearing a bra would keep their breasts from sagging, prevent back pain and improve posture. But it seems the advise is wrong.
There is a new discovery from a new study conducted by Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports medicine specialist from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Besancon, France. Professor Rouillon revealed that:
Breasts become “dependent” on lingerie support once women start wearing it, meaning that supporting muscle is under-used and degrades more quickly. He said his initial results “validated the hypothesis that the bra is a false necessity” but that he would not advise older women from 45 and above who have relied on bras for several years to stop using them immediately.
"Medically, physiologically, anatomically, breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity," Rouillon said, "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."
Prof. Rouillon's meticulous research revealed that women could experience about a 1/4-inch (7-millimeter) lift in the nipples each year if they didn't wear a bra.
The researchers involved in the study suggested that bras — which Rouillon now calls "a false necessity" — discourage the growth of supporting breast tissue, leaving the breasts to sag more quickly.
-Olufamous.com have observed that ladies wear bras and package their boobs well but once they take off their bras most boobs will be 'loyal'. So, to ladies whose boobs have not become 'over loyal' I will suggest they try this new method of not wearing bras. Who knows, it might help you.

Despite caution and threats by several elders, 38-year-old Prosper Dzakpasu has refused to desist from sleeping with her sister. According to reports, the Ghanaian man has been bonking his biological sister for the past 12 years and it's not a secret among family members.
Their mother has tried her best to stop the abominable act but Prosper usually gives her more than she could handle despite her age, saying he loves his sister, Cynthia and nobody can stop him...
He is the oldest of five children she bore their father while Cynthia is the last sibling. Their grandfather, who also intervened in the matter, had his fare share of insults from Prosper.
The other three siblings of the “couple” are troubled by the sacrilegious relationship. Prosper is said to have started sleeping with the sister, Cynthia, who is currently 29 years old, when she was about 17.
The relationship, which started gradually, has now blossomed into a union, as the two are now living at an area in Ghana known as Dzodze Ablorme. He left home with Cynthia after family members kept pressing him to stop the act.
Nothing was heard of them until about a year ago when they returned to their town with their six-year-old daughter. According to Daily Guide, “Prosper has now developed a thick skin and seem not to respect or fear anybody anymore. He knows that whenever you meet him or call him it is about his distasteful act and so he will not come and when he comes he will not mind anybody.”
Some family elders are however attributed Precious' act to a spiritual attack.
Below is a mail that was sent to me by a close family friend of Lilian Akiyesi, responding to the recent revelation that Solomon Akiyesi was married to another woman called Ezinne before marrying Lilian.
I am very close friends with Lilian's family and have decided to respond to this shocking and unfair accusation. Lilian met Solomon as a little and naïve girl in 2001. There was no one married to Solomon as at then. Down the line, Solomon got married to Ezinne who said she was pregnant as at then. Lilian moved on with her life. Years later, Solomon and his family came to ask for Lilian's hand in marriage claiming that their son was deceived into marriage as Ezinne was never pregnant and was in fact confirmed in the hospital to have damaged her womb a long time ago. On investigation, Solomon's family said all rites have been retrieved and dissolved of the marriage which was based on deceit.
After some time, Lilian and Solomon got married. Ezinne has never called Lilian for a warning or otherwise. Never! But rather Lilian put a call to her when she suddenly heard Ezinne was claiming to still be married to Solomon. On that shock, Lilian had her lawyer call Ezinne...who asked Ezinne to come up with a certificate or evidence to show they have not been divorced so that Lilian can move on with her life. But Ezinne refused to show up, even after several calls. Today out of nowhere, she comes out to give a wrong picture of Lillian. Where was she all this while? What sort of woman will sit back and watch her husband wed someone else without doing anything about it...if truly her hands are clean? Lilian wouldn't be that stupid to go as far as she did on Saturday, had she any reason to believe he was married to someone else asides her. Lilian married Solomon as a very young and sincere girl, never out of desperation. I think the damage is enough already. It's obvious the intention is just to bring Lilian down.

More than 250, 000 people lined the streets of London to bid farewell to UK's first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who died April 8th at the age of 87.
The Queen of England, Prime Minister David Cameron, 11 serving Prime Ministers from across the globe and 17 serving Foreign Ministers were among important dignitaries who attended the funeral.
Endurance Ajisegiri's family got a call on Sunday April 14th from her husband, Isaac Ajisegiri, informing them that she had died at their home in the Shasha area of Lagos the previous day and he had taken her corpse to the mortuary. Endurance's family immediately called the police.
So here's what happened according to friends of the late woman. Endurance (pictured above) and Isaac were married for four years and had one child together. They also ran a business together, an education consulting firm. Sometime last year, Endurance found out that her husband was having an affair with one of their employees and this caused serious problems between them. Endurance eventually moved out of her matrimonial home with her 2 year old daughter.
On Saturday morning April 13th, Isaac's friend, a guy named Stanley came to pick Endurance from her office, saying that her in-laws (mother-in-law and sister-in-law) were waiting for her at her husband's house and wanted to resolve some issues with her. Endurance went with Stanley.
The following day, her corpse was deposited at Crystal Hospital by Isaac. Her throat had been slit with a knife from inside her kitchen. Isaac told police that endurance killed herself with the knife after a serious argument. Isaac, his mother and sister (who slept in the house that night) are now in police custody. Stanley is no where to be found. The case is being handled by the Homicide Department of the State Criminal Investigation Department.

All hell was let loose on Monday April 15th in the Ado-Odo area of Ogun State as angry protesters set the palace of the traditional ruler, Oba Lateef Adeniran, on fire after attacking and stripping him naked. They also attacked his wives and children. What was the reason for their uncivilized action?
The violent mob said Oba Lateef Adeniran was imposed on them and they no longer want him as their head. This is sort of a jungle justice and should be condemned.
Thanks to the military guys who saved the ugly situation from getting worse.
I already told you guys how this traditional ruler of an area area known as Ado-Odo in Ogun State, Oba Lateef Adeniran Akanni, was molested by his people who claimed he was imposed on them. The angry protesters even set his house ablaze in the process.

The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday arrested a pregnant woman, Esther Peters for allegedly setting her husband, Anayo Kenneth Peters, ablaze at Ijedemo village, Isheri Osun, at the outskirts of Lagos, on Tuesday morning
DailyPost had gathered that officers from Isheri Police Station responded to a distress call and immediately swung into action, thereby intercepting the pregnant woman when she was trying to escape.
However, the suspect denied being responsible for the crime. However, neighbours said she was always in the habit of fighting with her late husband.
Lagos State Deputy Police spokesman, Mr. Damasus Ozoani confirmed that she had been arrested while the husband’s body has also been deposited in the mortuary, pending police investigation.
Ozoani said, “The police at Isheri Osun got a report that a woman at Ijedemo village had set her husband ablaze. When our men got there, they saw the woman trying to escape. They saw the man burnt to death.
“Immediately, the police arrested the woman and took the body of the man to Yaba General Hospital. The woman alleged that it was the candle light they left in the house that sent the man to his early grave, but neighbours said the man had a quarrel with the wife a day before the incident. We are investigating the matter. The woman would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba for discrete investigation.”

Eight-year-old Martin Richard was killed by the first of the explosions that rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He had been there waiting to watch his father Bill cross the line: a rite of passage for scores of Boston youngsters living in the city that hosts one of the world’s oldest races.
According to the Boston Globe, Martin was very nearly saved from the blast after running out to hug his father, but his father kept on going and Martin returned to his mother. As Mr Richard carried on, his son, six-year-old daughter and wife were hit by the first of the blasts that came just 10 seconds and 90m apart. Martin was one of three killed by the twin blasts.
His sister Jane has reportedly lost a leg and his mother Denise is understood to have undergone surgery for a serious head injury. They were among the 170 who were injured in the attack. His older brother, 12-year-old Henry, is not thought to have been hurt in the explosion. According to neighbours, Mr Richard, who runs an environmental testing company, returned to his home in the Dorchester suburb of Boston this morning still in hospital scrubs.
The wait is over. After months of speculation, Jose Mourinho has agreed to return to the Chelsea hot-seat next season according to the Daily Star.
And the current Real Madrid manager has already drawn up a list of transfer targets to help the Blues return to the top of the Premier League – headlined by strikers Hulk and Radamel Falcao.
Jose Mourinho
According to the reports, Mourinho will return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season on a salary that more than matches his current £12 million-a-year package at Madrid. But the 50-year-old realises Chelsea need some extra firepower to compete against the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and emerging powerhouse Tottenham.
Mourinho is a big admirer of Hulk while Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao has long been rumoured with a move to London.
The news may just reinforce Romelu Lukaku’s desire to seek another loan move away from the club next season, with the Mirror reporting the teenager, currently plying his trade with West Brom, has asked Blues officials to secure him another stint in the Premier League. And with European football on his mind, a move to the Capital One champions, Swansea, is on the cards.

It's just not true...
Women offer other women an incredible amount of uninformed advice, misinformation and mythology about what motivates men whether they’re single, married, or in a long-term relationship. This was the impetus behind StraightMaleFriend.com. With all due respect, women simply don’t know as much about men as they think they do. And of course us poor guys know zilch about women.
Truth be told, I actually reached out to a handful of guys to guest write for SMF and the general response was, “What? Hell no! I’m not gonna be the one givin’ up the secrets!” So you see? Your SMF’s are risking permanent expulsion from the “Man Club” by giving up the goods here. But we’ve got a job to do!
To that end, we decided to tackle some fairly persistent man-myths. Now certainly there are exceptions to every rule. And, of course, you’ll have either experienced or have heard anecdotal stories that run contrary to your SMF’s perspectives. That said, here are:
The Top 5 Myths Women STILL Believe About Men
1.He won’t respect you if you have sex on the first date. Truth is, it doesn’t matter if you do the bedroom boogie on date number one or one-hundred. Sex (or the act of withholding it) doesn’t equate to respect. Don’t fool yourself. Each situation is different and each person is different. If you’re making such a personal decision based on not what YOU want, but on what you believe the other person will think, you could be setting yourself up for a major disappointment.
2. Men love the chase. Guys just loooove working up the courage to approach a stranger and ask her out, risking rejection or humiliation. What’s not to enjoy about basically having to qualify for the opportunity to take someone out ? Doesn’t sound stressful at all.
Uhhhh…no.
WOMEN love the chase. And why not? To be in a position where you can basically field offers from potential suitors. On that particular point, guys would switch places any day. It’s not that we love the chase…it’s that we have to chase.
3. A man can’t be friends with a woman without wanting to have sex with her. This one is always hotly debated among the fellas. But the consensus here is that the idea that men and women can’t be friends without sexual tension is pure hogwash. We certainly won’t pretend as if people can’t or don’t possibly find each other attractive, but that’s a far cry from wanting to get all coital. And listen, I surely have friends who I definitely wouldn’t mind taking out for a sexual test drive. On the other hand, I’ve got very close female friends with whom I couldn’t imagine being intimate in that way. So to say what comedian-turned-relationship-guru Steve Harvey said-- that, “The only reason men are just friends with women is because that’s all she’ll allow” is just ignorant and short-sighted.
4. Guys Prefer Something Left to the imagination. Says who? Ok, do we love the way you look in that low cut top or those form fitting jeans? Yes. Do we love seeing you looking your sexy best as you step out of the shower wrapped in nothing but a towel? You know it. Do we get turned on seeing you get dolled up before a night on the town or maybe seeing you in your sexiest Vicki Secret? Hell yeah, you know we do. You know what we love MORE than that though?
Taking all of that stuff off of you.
Yeah, we like to IMAGINE you in your birthday suit, but we’d PREFER to SEE you in your birthday suit. I mean, come on….why has this ever even been in question?
5. Guys are intimidated by independent women. Lots of guys are. But a lot of guys aren’t. This is another electric debate, but we say that this is generally not true; particularly for guys under the age of 40. Under 40 guys are more used to seeing, meeting, knowing, socializing with, and yes even dating powerful, independent women. Many guys wouldn’t have it any other way. Now listen, no worthwhile guy doesn’t care about carrying his own weight or being his own man. And men want to be seen as good “providers.” But that’s a societal “guy thing” and it has less to do with actually feeling intimidated and more to do with feeling the angst of having other people judge them. A self-confident guy feels empowered and proud of his strong, independent partner --not emasculated. So for us to buy into the “guys are afraid of independent women” myth, we’d have to buy that most guys lack self-confidence…and we don’t at all agree with that.
Who doesn't need to spice up their bedroom routine every once in a while? You love your partner and assume he'll initiate sex, so it's all good, right? Not so fast! Did you ever think about what YOUR role is...what you could be doing to turn up the heat? We did, so we asked renowned sex expert and family therapist Dr. Jane Greer. She says women COMMONLY make THREE MISTAKES in the bedroom:
Mistake #1: Comfy Clothes
I know, ladies, that you want to be in those comfortable nightgowns, those comfortable jammies, that you wear. But, honestly, the quickest turn-off to your partner or spouse are your comfy clothes. So, if you want to spice things up in your love life, shed those comfy clothes and find a ice, hot bra or a nice nighty, something you can be slinky, sexy and comfortable in that will be a TURN-ON to your partner.
Mistake #2: NOT Taking the Lead
Don't wait to get asked to dance, meaning you've got to take the lead. You don't have to wait for your partner to ask you to have sex or make love with them. Get involved, get into bed, take the lead and get your partner into bed with you. You'll both have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves.
Mistake #3: Criticism
It's to be avoided at all costs. Nothing will turn off your partner faster than you telling him what you DON'T like and what you don't want taking place. On the other hand, what will be a complete arousal and turn-on is letting him know what he CAN do to please you and what will excite you if he does it.
So, tell him what you like, wear those sexy clothes and, most importantly of all, take the lead so that you can have the fun you're looking for!
Serena Williams poses up a storm as she shows off her winning figure in monochrome bikini
Her season has already got off to a good start with three wins already.
However, when Serena Williams isn't on the court, she likes to indulge her other passion for fashion.
The World's No.1 was spotted posing up a storm in a high-waisted, monochrome bikini for a photoshoot on Miami Beach, Florida on Monday.
Wearing the high chequered and strip patterned bottoms and a black top, the 31-year-old looked like she was having fun posing on the beach.
She let her hair flow naturally around her shoulders, with her only jewelry being a ring and bulky gold earrings.
As she was requested by the photographer to pull sultry poses, it appeared some of the faces she was making were causing her to laugh.
For many of the shots, she lifted her left leg to define her impressive muscular legs.
Later on, she changed into a figure-hugging yellow mini-dress as she moved back from the beach to the greenery of the sandbanks.
She was also spotted wearing a stunning black maxi dress, which flattered her curves in all the right places.
Although she seemed to be enjoying the shoot, Serena admitted she had lost her voice.
She tweeted: 'Lost my voice. #williamsinvitational2013 I literally cannot speak. Maybe I will be tweeting more...'
Her shoot came a week after she beat Serbia's Jelena Jankovic to the the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, South Carolina.
However, her victory was not without some controversy with Serena and Jelena arguing during the game.
After Jelena broke serve twice, Serena shouted: 'Honestly, you have a problem,' later adding she wasn't ready for the serves.
Following her win, Serena explained: 'I wasn't ready. I am the most respectful player, other than Venus. I am so respectful to my colleagues.
On March 30, Serena also won the Sony Open in Miami, which came a month after she was forced to pull out of the Dubai Championships after hurting her back.
Serena withdrew just minutes before she was due to play Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli after injuring her lower back.
The tennis star is now the world's oldest women's No.1 since records began in 1975.
Even with the best of intentions, suggestions and reminders for your man can easily turn into a drone that he ignores. No one likes to feel like they're being nagged! Find out how, when and what to bring up with him, and learn how your own happiness affects his.
It’s natural to want the best for my man. I love him, and I want to see him healthy, fulfilling his goals, keeping his commitments and living a good life. Many of his actions affect my own happiness, so it’s fair for me to have a vested interest in what he does. But when do I cross the line from giving him gentle reminders to suddenly becoming that annoying bee in his ear, bossing him around for every single thing he does? Here’s what I’ve learned:
Make the distinction between “this is how it has to be” and “this is how I'd like it to be.” I would prefer that he always pick up his clothes off the floor, and I’d like it if he would empty the kitchen sink of dirty dishes before we go to bed, but there’s no moral stand-off for these issues. If I treat everything that I want him to change with the same level of urgency, he starts to hear a whining radio -- and even if he doesn’t mean to, he tunes me out. If I can choose to overlook things that are preferences (clothes on the floor aren’t going to kill me, at least if there are no guests coming over) and bring up only the bigger stuff, he’ll hear me more clearly.
A dangerously easy way to make a helpful conversation into a nag-fest is to turn my list of complaints into a list of everything that he’s doing wrong. “You don’t clean up after yourself, I’m always the one who cooks dinner…” Pause for a moment and call up your own list in your head. Now rephrase it by stating how you feel when he does these things. “I feel overwhelmed when I cook dinner every night after work, and it makes me too tired to do anything in the evening. Can we figure out a way to make this less stressful?” Here’s what I’ve learned -- although he won’t be very excited about responding to a bitter complaint, he will jump to rescue you when he sees your emotions and understands your needs. It’s literally in how you say it. “I feel…” instead of “You don’t...”
Timing is huge. My husband can’t have serious conversations when he’s hungry. Dinner is a must before I can spring anything on him. It’s funny to think about, but we have a better chance of a receptive ear if he’s not distracted by fatigue or starvation. This waiting process also can help us prepare as we sift our preferences from our necessities, and find ways to state how we feel about the situation.
This one catches me by surprise all the time. If I’m unhappy at work, in life or my other relationships, my bad mood often makes me fixate on what’s wrong in my love life. Discontentment with your man can be a sign of unrest in yourself. Make sure to get your sleep, follow your own passions, and make time to feel beautiful. How you feel truly affects how you see him, because you view everyone through the filter of yourself.
Learning to talk to him without nagging is an endless journey for most of us. But as you try these out, you’ll see how much better he hears the important things you have to share with him.
