Fake South African sign language interpreter helped burn men to death in 2003

Details have emerged about the violent crime charges that Thamsanqa Jantjie, the fake sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's funeral service faced a decade ago.

From NYPost.com
The bogus sign language interpreter at last week’s Nelson Mandela memorial service was among a group of people who accosted two men found with a stolen television and burned them to death by setting fire to tires placed around their necks, one of the interpreter’s cousins and three of his friends told The Associated Press Monday.
But Thamsanqa Jantjie never went to trial for the 2003 killings when other suspects did in 2006 because authorities determined he was not mentally fit to stand trial, said the four. They insisted on speaking anonymously because of the sensitivity of the fake signing fiasco, which has deeply embarrassed South Africa’s government and prompted a high-level investigation into how it happened.

Senator Yerima divorces 17year old Egyptian wife, marries another 15yr old

Senator Ahmed Yerima yet in another controversy….Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian, which was widely protested in Nigeria, former Zamfara state governor and serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife. According to reports, Sen.Yerima and four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding fathia of a new bride said to be 15 years old.

Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter of the former governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he's not allowed more than four wives.

The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the last few years but has never changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.

Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.

U.S Gossip Site,Radar Online blasts Mariah Carey for performing in Nigeria - 'the world's center of bank fraud & human trafficking'

Radar online, a U.S gossip site, has blasted Mariah Careh for coming to perform in Nigeria. A caption of the article, pictured above suggests that the writer doesn't appreciate the reason(s) why the songbird should accept to do a gig in a country known for terror,death and fraud.

This article has generated much controversies online as Nigerian bloggers have reacted harshly to it. 

Could the writer be another disguised racist? Or just someone who is looking for cheap popularity. Whatever the case, i'm doubly sure Naija would not take that sitting.

Read the full Radar online article:
Mariah Carey proudly posted a pic of herself in a slinky yellow dress and wrote, “Backstage in Nigeria” on Saturday. But maybe the songbird should have done some homework before agreeing to the gig? Her show was at Access Bank’s Christmas Party which was also a farewell bash for the bank’s managing director. And while Access Bank is a reputable financial institution, should Carey have known a few basics about the African nation before taking the paycheck? Ironically — given that she was performing for bankers — it seems Carey wasn’t aware Nigeria is well-known as the center of the world’s email financial crimes! Nigeria is even part of the name — as in “Nigerian 411 Scams.”

''There Is Nothing Like Hell Fire, Nor Rapture'' – Pastor Dikeh

Founder of “As The Lord Said, It Should Be Done Temple”, Pastor Blessed Oguguamakwa Dikeh seems to be in the mould of those who are out to challenge the status quo. He has declared that Christians should forget about the second coming of Jesus Christ (rapture), saying that it would never come to pass.

In his words: “There is nothing like hell fire after life. Heaven is here on earth already. When you are suffering, you are in hell fire. If you are in poverty and cannot pay your house rent then you are already in hell. But when you are in heaven, even if you reside in a flat, your landlord will come and beg you for money. He would even say don’t worry, I will give the other tenant quit notice for you.”

In an Interview with Daily Independent, Pastor Dikeh further insisted that:
“There is nothing like rapture. If you tell me that rapture means when a person dies, his soul goes back to God and his flesh to the dust, then I will agree, but anything other than that, I don’t agree. Don’t let anybody deceive you.

This Is Rated The Best Tribute to Mandela You'll Ever See..Watch

 A retail store in South Africa was home to one of the most moving Nelson Mandela tributes we've seen in the past week.

On Saturday, the Soweto Gospel Choir surprised unsuspecting customers at the Woolsworths in Parkview when they began singing Johnny Clegg's "Asimbonanga" -- a song the South African musician wrote for Mandela.

The choir had originally planned to sing James Brown's "I Feel Good," according to Woolworths' YouTube page, but they changed their performance after the news of Mandela's passing.

Clegg formed the first integrated rock band in South Africa, according to the Los Angeles Times. On Friday, he released a touching statement on Facebook in Mandela's memory. An excerpt from it reads:

"In the defining and tempestuous years of 1990 through to April 27th 1994, [Mandela's] leadership never gave the impression that he was overwhelmed by events, even in the darkest hours of Boipatong and other atrocities that were meant to derail the negotiations. When at times we felt doubt or fear, his strong resonant voice rolled out over the radio or TV and, like a tide going out, our reservations about the future receded.

"My Husband Asks Me To Sleep On The Mat Whenever He Brings Another Woman Home"

A housewife, Busayo Ogunjobi, has urged an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court in Ekiti State to dissolve her 13-year-old marriage to Ayodele Ogunjobi over alleged frequent beating and adultery.

Twenty-six-year-old Busayo also urged the court to dissolve the marriage over her husband’s alleged lack of care for the only child of the union.

She told the court that Ayodele was fond of going about with different women, adding that anytime her husband came home with a woman, he would ask her to sleep on the mat.
“My lord, anytime my husband brought home a woman, he would ask me to sleep on the mat so that the woman  can sleep on our matrimonial bed,’’ she said.
She told the court that Ayodele denied being the biological father of the only child of their marriage.

According to her, Ayodele abandoned her and the child when the child was three months old.
Ayodele, 32, denied beating his wife because of another woman.
He told the court he did not believe  the said child was his, adding that  he did some private investigations which did not favour the petitioner.

This he said was the reason he did not provide for the upkeep of both mother and child.
The court’s president, Mr Joseph Ogunsimi, adjourned the case till  February 11 for further hearing.

I guess this is just another woe of a woman....next story in a bit

Cody Asked To Replace Late Brother, Paul Walker in Remaining Scenes Of 'Fast & Furious 7 Movie'

In a poignant tribute to the star, Paul Walker’s younger brother Cody, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, has been asked by Fast & Furious 7 producers to step in and film the final scenes of the movie, which has been shutdown following the actor’s tragic passing on Nov. 30.

“Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul’s death,” a source close to the production
exclusively tells MailOnline.
The insider adds, “They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie
and that’s when they approached his nearly identical brother Cody.”

Paul, the oldest of five siblings, starred as undercover cop turned illegal street racer, Brian O’Conner, in five of the six movies.
Cody is yet to make a decision, but the source says he’d mainly be used for shots from behind and at a distance if he accepts.

Muhammadu Buhari Reacts To Obj's Letter To Pres.Jonathan.....

Former military ruler of Nigeria, Major General (rtd.) Muhammadu Buhari published some of his thoughts concerning the controversial letter of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan. Read the full text of his statement below:

The Obasanjo letter did not come as any surprise to us. No right thinking Nigerian will choose to ignore the appalling descent to anarchy that Nigeria is experiencing under this government.

The good people of this country are equally oppressed by the PDP regimes of both Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan. Therefore, while we have the right to demand accountability for the pertinent issues raised in the said letter, we also have the moral responsibility to question the sincerity of the messenger, and to condemn and reject the duo (Obasanjo and Jonathan) for their crimes against the good people of this country.

The destiny of Nigeria is the destiny of 170 million of us.(Is that figure correct? Thought it was about 220 million) No single individual, no single tribe, religion, political party or region can usurp this destiny for its selfish whim. Our strength and unity is national, not regional. There are attempts by the PDP to undermine this hard-earned national unity, we must guard against such manipulations with utmost vigilance.
People, what are your takes on this?

The TRUTH About The "Mysterious" Healing River In Nachi, Enugu State,Nigeria

Since the news of a "healing pool," known as Orimiri and located in a forest about 3km from the Nachi bus stop along Onitsha/Enugu road, was discovered, the community has become a pilgrimage center with no fewer than 3000 people thronging the place daily. From morning till evening, okada ply through that narrow and sandy path carrying passengers and their loads of jerry cans to the stream.

The believers
The physically challenged, aged, young, men, women, some of them naked, and children dip themselves naked in the 3-4-feet deep stagnated water, wash the ailing parts of their bodies believing they will be healed. Others scoop up water from different holes dug around the bank into their plastic containers of various sizes believing even the sand under the water is as effective as the stream itself. The trees in the surroundings are also not spared as people chop trees into various sizes with a claim that it cures all kinds of sicknesses.

Most of the visitors say they believe it will work.
