Sahani, also known as Abu Sabah, is the owner of RSG International, a property management company, with interests in the UAE, Kuwait, India and the US.

13-year-old Mahendra Ahirwar had a rare condition that made his head hang at a 180-degree angle – the teenager’s crocked neck meant he couldn’t stand, he had to sit and always needed help to eat and go to the toilet.

He was at home alone all day and his mother said she couldn’t bear to see him suffer.

The good news is Mahendra’s life has been transformed by surgery and he can finally see the world the right way up again. His father Mukesh, 41, told Mail Online:

“It’s a miracle! He looks great. His neck is straight; and his life is so very different. ‘He’s in a good place. It was heart breaking to see him before. We were on the brink of losing him. When his neck was bent he was too shy to speak but now he feels like a normal person and we can see his confidence levels growing. He is very happy now. He says he can feel the difference and he loves it.

Mahendra, from Madhya Pradesh, central India, was born with a normal neck but as he grew older his bones became weak and his neck began to bend.

After years of trying to find treatment with no success, Mahendra resigned to spending the rest of his life with a crocked neck.

But life was a struggle. Mahendra’s parents even admit they would rather their son die than continue to suffer.

Mahendra’s life however was transformed thanks to a stranger, mother-of-two Julie Jones living 4,000 miles away in Liverpool who read his story and raised £12,000 for an operation to straighten his neck.

Now the Mahendra can do the same things other boys his age can – like go to school.

As bizarre as it looks, this Ghanaian man didn’t just accidentally, take a box of fruit juice and started using to have his bath… The Juice Box is that of “Kalyppo”, a fruit juice company brand in Ghana.

The Ghanaian dude takes his own Kalyppo craze to another level as he uses it to have his bath – the “Kalyppo craze” began gaining traction on social media when their NPP presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, was pictured sipping the fruit drink.

The picture was initially shared to mock him as a weak leader who drinks kids’ juice, but somehow, many people found the picture fascinating and it soon went viral.

Newborn “Miracle” Baby Refuses To Die After Being Stabbed 14 Times And Left In Shallow Grave. (Photos)

October 10, 2016

A newborn baby boy has had quite a miraculous recovery despite being stabbed for 14 times and buried alive in a shallow grave in Thailand.

After he was taken to a local orphanage on surviving his ordeal, he is now set for a dream life after a Swedish couple adopted him.

The seven-month-old boy, named Aidin was dumped face down in a 20cm grave in February, just days after he was born. He had suffered horrendous knife injuries before he was placed in the ground alive and left for dead.

However, passing cattle herder Kachit Krongyut saw a tiny foot sticking out of the ground under a eucalyptus tree. She then heard the boy’s cries and realised that it was a baby buried under the tree.

The 53-year-old then began frantically digging up the soil with her hands and discovered the injured newborn.

Aidin was then rushed to hospital to be treated for his 14 stab wounds on his tiny body.

Miraculously, doctors said it was the pressure from the soil against his body that prevented Aidin from bleeding to death. Mrs Krongyut said:

‘At first, I thought someone buried their pets alive, but then I saw a foot.

‘I tried to control myself and called for help. The baby was buried with its face facing down.’

After being nursed back to health, he was taken to an orphanage where he is now set to be adopted by a couple in Sweden.

Supachai Pathimchart from the Kaen Thong Orphanage where Aidin was cared for said they were “very happy” for him. He said:

‘All of the safety checks have been carried out to make sure Aidin goes to a good home. We’re very happy that he will be going to a good home and have a comfortable life.

‘He survived a very bad experience but he has a lot of character and he’s happy with life.’

While Mrs Krongyut and her husband Pornchai, who rescued the infant, said they were delighted that Aidin is going to a good home. Mr Krongyut said:

‘He is very lucky. A few hours later and he might not have survived. We’re very happy that he has found a loving home to go to. He will do well in life we’re sure.’

Doctors believe that Aidin may have been abused by his mother, a 42-year-old local woman. Footprints and motorbike tracks left at the scene helped police to find her. She was tracked down and charged with attempted murder and abandoning her own child.

A shocking video shows a Chinese man hobbling towards medical attention after a turtle chomped down on his penis and refused to let go, the video has become viral on the internet.

In the footage likely to make most men wince, the Chinese soft shell turtle is seen with its teeth clamped around the groin area of the man’s trousers.

The unlucky man is seen using red rope that is tied around the reptile’s shell to lift it up so he can walk with more ease.

It is believed he was taking the turtle home, maybe to use it for soup because millions of softshell turtles are killed every year in Asia where they are considered a delicacy.

Iranian Child Bride Faces Being Hanged For Killing Her Abusive Husband.

October 10, 2016

An Iranian child bride could be hanged in weeks after she was sentenced to death for allegedly murdering her abusive husband – Zeinab Sokian was sentenced to death for the 2012 murder of her husband, when she was just 17, Daily Mail reports.

However, Zeinab married another prisoner while in jail and fell pregnant, and as Iranian law prevents pregnant women from being executed her death sentence was delayed.

On September 30 she gave birth to a stillborn child in Euromieh central prison in northern Iran, meaning she could now be put to death within weeks.

Zeinab, who hails from a small village in northern Iran, was just 15 when she married her first husband.

Under Iranian law girls can marry at 13-years-old and boys at 15, although international human rights organisations say both parties in a marriage should be aged 18 or over.

During her trial, Zeinab claimed that her husband frequently beat and abused her, a source told Human Rights Watch. However, her claims were dismissed by the court.

The human rights organisation says that Zeinab was informed by authorities this week her execution could take place in the coming weeks.

Iran passed legal reforms in 2013, which give judges the discretion to spare children the death penalty if they do not understand the nature of their crime.

The law also entitles those sentenced to death prior to 2013 to a new trial – but only if they request it. Human Right Watch is calling for all pre-2013 defendents to face a new trial.

‘The 2013 reforms aimed to prevent wrongful conviction of children for capital offenses. If the Iranian government is serious about this goal, it should at a minimum grant everyone facing the death penalty for alleged offenses committed as children a new trial that conforms to international human rights standards,’ the organisation said.

‘This includes Zeinab, an alleged victim of domestic violence, who may otherwise imminently face the gallows.’

HIV Positive Woman Who Accused South African President, Jacob Zuma Of Rape Dies.

October 10, 2016

The HIV positive woman, Fezekile ‘Khwezi’ Kuzwayo, who accused South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma of rape 10 years ago, reportedly died on Saturday.

This has sparked major reactions on South African social media, with some people calling for the president’s resignation.

The high-profile case rocked the country about a year before Zuma became president. Named ‘Khwezi’ by South Africans to protect her image, the victim reportedly was the daughter of Zuma’s friend, Judson Diza Khuzwayo, a member of the African National Congress (ANC). The two men had spent 10 years in Robben Island Prison.

In 2005, 31-year-old Khwezi accused Zuma of raping her at his Johannesburg home. He pleaded not guilty and his attorneys reduced her claims to a consensual sex.

A year later, Jacob Zuma was acquitted, and in 2009, he became the president of South Africa.

Khwezi, later diagnosed with HIV, fiercely advocated for women’s right and fought against rape, until yesterday, when her family released a statement, confirming her death.

“It is with our deepest sorrow that the Kuzwayo family announces the passing of our daughter Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo,” her mother, Beauty Sibongile Kuzwayo said.

The cause of her death has not been made public.

Her death has sparked major reactions on social media. While many people are calling for the president’s resignation, other have noted how politician Julius Malema vilified the alleged rape victim during the court proceedings.

UK based Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi is getting ready towards his gay marriage to partner, Anthony and today is day 6 of the remaining 30 days.

The gay being dedicates the day it to his childhood. He shared this photo of himself as a child and wrote:

Day 6 of 30 days to my wedding of 30 things to be grateful for. Today I want to be thankful for my childhood.

Many times we concentrate on the now and forgetting the journey it took to get to now. The laughter, the joy, the pains and the tears.

My childhood was not perfect and I am happy it was not, but it was a journey I am proud of. I carry my joy and pains on the sleeves but most importantly, my childhood taught me what matters in the world.

The essence of compassion, love and empathy. I learnt that sitting on the fence was not a neutral act. That silence is not golden. That boy can not and should not always be boys at the expense of girls. That I can play with dolls, pink dolls, paint my face and catwalk.

Yes, sometimes I get beaten for it, but the hard headed boy I was, my passion and not the rejection was my childhood driver. As a loner, growing up in my head and in my world, I hardly make excuse for my action. I was thought to say sorry when wrong and never to say it unless I am sure I am wrong.

I spent my childhood being a child and maybe that’s why, as an adult, I am still a child. Get angry like a child, smile like a child, think like a child, eat like one, sleep like one, and perform like one.

I am Peter Pan but with the vision of an adult. Dear Ademola, Ojo, Kazeem, Iyanda Alimi, thanks for making the adult that is Adebisi Ademola Alimi.

Next month I will marry my husband with the spirit of a child, will laugh with that spirit, enjoy the moment that my childhood has spent 41years preparing for my adulthood. In the presence of my friends, families and loved one, with shine on my face like a proud child, I will look into the eyes of my lover and say; I DO! #equalmarriage #samesexwedding #gaymarriage #ido #childhood #growingup

“Chris Brown, can I take a selfie with you please?” she asked.

“No, not right now,” the singer replied as she walked passed here, not even touching the phone.

She later told a local newspaper that Chris Brown grabbed her phone and smashed it yet from the video, she still had her phone.

Kaduna Governor Orders Arrest And Prosecution Of Shiite Spokesman.

October 10, 2016

The Kaduna state government has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Ibrahim Musa, the spokesman of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria ( IMN), otherwise known as Shiites.

In a statement by the spokesman of Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, it said:

“All security agencies in the state have been directed to vigorously enforce the law, and demonstrate clear resolve by arresting the said Ibrahim Musa, who is further advised to report himself to the nearest police station or any of the security agencies.”

The state government on Friday issued a declaration outlawing the IMN, saying it is an illegal organisation.

However, in a reaction on Saturday, the spokesman of the movement, Ibrahim Musa, had described the ban as an infringement on their fundamental human rights, vowing that the group will challenge it in court.

But Aruwan said on Sunday that Musa had identified himself as a spokesman of an illegal group and should be arrested and prosecuted.

According to the statement,

“One Ibrahim Musa who has owned up to being the spokesperson of an unlawful society, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN)” noting that a few hours after the IMN was outlawed, Musa admitted to the membership of an unlawful society and identified himself as its spokesman in widely publicized statements.”

5 things you need to know before paying a prostitute for sex

By

Daniel Oyetoro

October 10, 2016

Paying for sex is taboo – nobody wants to admit doing it. It is gross, weird, or even perverse. At least that is what some people say.

But there is a huge market for paid sex. Love Matters Africa’s Stephanie Haase takes a look at some of the things you should know about paid sex.

1. What is paid sex and where does it happen?

Paid sex, or prostitution, means paying someone for sexual services. The payment can be cash, but it can also be through gifts and favors.

The person who is getting paid is called a sex worker, prostitute or a range of other, often demeaning, words.

Sex workers can be either woman or men. Male sex workers offer their services to other men, too. If they are not gay themselves, this is sometimes called ‘gay-to-pay’.

Sex workers sell sex for a variety of reasons, and sometimes it can be a means to buy drugs or because of poverty. This is known as ‘survival sex’.

There are many places for paid sex. Some sex workers offer their services on the streets, others work in brothels, or as escorts, who offer their services in hotels or private homes.

US Presidential aspirant, Donald Trump, at the 2nd US presidential debate last night, told his opponent, Hillary Clinton, straight to her face that she’d be in jail if he ever becomes The United States of America president.

The Presidential aspirant had gone on a rant about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal when he suddenly added the horrifying twist:

Trump: If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. There has never been so many lies, so much exception.There has never been anything like it. We will have a special prosecutor. I go out and speak and the people of this country are furious. The long time workers at the FBI are furious. There has never been anything like this with emails. You get a subpoena and after getting the subpoena you delete 33,000 emails and acid wash them or bleach them. An expensive process. We will get a special prosecutor and look into it. You know what, people have been—their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you have done. You should be ashamed.

Moderator: Secretary Clinton, I will let you respond.

Clinton: Everything he said is absolutely false. It would be impossible to be fact checking Donald all the time. I would never get to talk and make lives better for people. Once again, go to Hillaryclinton.com. You can fact check Trump in real time. Last time at the first debate we had millions of people fact checking and we will have millions more fact checking. It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.

Trump: Because you would be in jail.

While there have been questions rising as to who is older than the other, he was asked.

Is E-Money older than you?

(Laughs) People ask me this question a lot, but the important thing is the fact that we are brothers from the same parent, but to clear the air, I am the elder brother.

So how come you are so humble and sometimes even call him boss?

Our relationship is really tight, I call it divine. Now let me shock you, I sponsored E-Money’s wedding, I used to pay our rent because I was the first to start making money in my family.

I brought light, name and fame to the family but most people don’t know the genesis and I don’t need to explain to anyone.

House-dad Jake White, who hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, has a set of triplets – two-year-olds Jude, Stella and Xavier who are very fond of repeatedly arguing over sharing snacks in the car.

The invention the young man was forced to come up with so he can have peace while driving, has become praiseworthy on social media – the artist said the walls, made from thin board, took him just five minutes to install.

Afterwards he took them on a test-drive to a drive-thru to see how well effective they were.

He told Today Parents:

‘I did it because there was snack-stealing going on and to a 2-year-old, that’s the end of the world.
‘The dividers are foam core, just strong enough to keep the kids separated. The kids
aren’t strong enough to break it from a seated position yet.’

He said the children are ‘very well behaved‘ and that he takes them wherever he goes but that the boards were a ‘natural solution to keep the peace‘ over snacks.

Samsung To Halt Production Of Galaxy Note 7 Devices.

By

Michael Badejoko

-

October 10, 2016

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has reportedly suspended the production of its flagship Galaxy Note 7 smartphones after reports of fire incidents added to the tech giant’s worst ever recall crisis.

According to Reuters, a source made this notion known to them – they report that top U.S. and Australian carriers also suspended sales or exchanges of Note 7s, while major airlines reiterated bans on passengers using the phones, after smoke from a replacement device forced the evacuation of a passenger plane in the United States last week.

“If the Note 7 is allowed to continue it could lead to the single greatest act of brand self-destruction in the history of modern technology,” said Eric Schiffer, brand strategy expert and chairman of Reputation Management Consultants.

“Samsung needs to take a giant write-down and cast the Note 7 to the engineering hall of shame next to the Ford Pinto.”

In a regulatory filing, Samsung said it was “adjusting” shipments of Note 7s to allow for inspections and stronger quality control due to some devices catching fire.

It did not comment on the production halt or the cause of the fires, while the source – who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media – did not explain whether specific problems had been identified or when production was halted.

Samsung told Reuters it was investigating reports of “heat damage issues” and would take immediate action to fix any problems in line with measures approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

On Sept. 2, Samsung announced a global recall of 2.5 million Note 7s due to faulty batteries which caused some of the phones to catch fire.

October 10, 2016

The Police Zonal Intervention Squad (ZIS), Onikan, Lagos, have arrested two suspected cultists for alleged murder of over 20 persons.

Sheriff Afeeri and Wasiu Owoseeni were arrested at Agosi in Ifo, Ogun State, with dangerous weapons including an axe.

It was gathered that the duo confessed to be members of the Black Axe (Aiye), confraternity and participated in the various fight against Eiye cult group in Otta and Ifo.

According to the zonal spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, the suspects were apprehended while planning a meeting.

He said they confessed to have killed several people, including one Niyi alias Neyo, who was the Black Axe leader in Ifo.

Niyi was killed on Western City Street in Ifo last March by his members who wanted to overthrow him.

Adejobi said the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone II, Abdulmajid Ali, has directed that proper investigation be carried out so as to arrest other members of the group.

He said: “The AIG has vowed to get the zone rid of cultists and hoodlums, who have been terrorising innocent people in Lagos and Ogun States.

“Those arrested and others at large will be treated as murderers in as much as their actions have always been tailored to one killing or the other,” he said.
