No fewer than 10 people are feared dead and many others injured after a 4 Boko Haram suicide bombers attacked the village of Nigue, a suburb of Fotokol town, in Far North of Cameroon. "The initial figures speak of 10 dead including the suicide bombers and around a dozen wounded," a senior Cameroonian army commander told the Reuters news agency.
While addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters at a rally in Mberengwa this week, the First lady of Zimbabwe Grace Mugagbe said women who wear mini skirts have no one but themselves to blame if they are raped by sexual perverts.
"If you walk around wearing mini skirts displaying your thighs and inviting men to drool over you, then you want to complain when you have been raped? It’s unfortunate because it will be your fault."
Lol. What a daft statement! The First Lady then called on women to wear long dresses or trousers. She said the type of dressing, which left women’s legs exposed, was a result of moral decadence.
Prince Kofi Amoabeng, the former CEO of UT Bank who says he believes in God and goes to Church only if there is a wedding or funeral, has revealed he does not pay tithe.
Yesterday, during an interview on Morning Starr, he said:-
“I don’t pay tithe.
I would not give 10% and nobody can force me to give 10% of my money to anybody. I do all sort of philanthropic jobs myself. I see where there is the need for me to help and I help. I don’t have to give it to somebody who then decides where to put the money. It is my hard earned money and I should put it where I want to put it.”

as her account was mistaken for one affiliated with the popular terrorist group ISIS, The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The lady in question had this to say to Facebook:
“Why would you disable my personal account? MY REAL NAME IS ISIS ANCHALEE/facepalm.”
“Facebook thinks I’m a terrorist. Apparently sending them a screenshot of my passport is not good enough for them to reopen my account”.
However, her account has since been reactivated followed by an apology from Facebook’s researcher Omid Farivar :
“Isis, sorry about this, I don’t know what happened. I’ve reported it to the right people and we’re working on fixing it”.
We understand she had to go through series of verification processes which included sending a screenshot of her passport three times before her account was restored.
Facebook has a “real names” policy which forbids people from using fake names or ‘offensive’ words. Users are asked to refrain from any symbols, unusual characters, punctuation, religious titles, or “offensive or suggestive words of any kind” to their names to “keep our community safe”. This is designed to prevent impersonation accounts, parodies, and any accounts that could be seen as confrontational or offensive.
A high quality diamond said to be the biggest discovery in more than a century has been discovered at a mine in Botswana, said mine company, Lucara Diamond Corp.
"The magnificent stone, which originated from the south lobe of Lucara's Karowe Mine, is the world second largest gem quality diamond ever recovered and largest ever to be recovered through a modern processing facility," the company said a statement.
Shares in Lucara shot up 34 percent to 14.2 kronor in morning Thursday trading in Stockholm after news of the 1,111 carat gem was made public. Botswana is the world's second biggest diamond producer, and Lucara said the gem was the largest ever to be recovered in the country.
"The significance of the recovery of a gem quality stone larger than 1,000 carats, the largest for more than a century....cannot be overstated," said William Lamb, the President and chief executive of Lucara. The stone is yet to be evaluated, but commodities and mining analyst Kieron Hodgson, said it has "the potential to be one very expensive diamond." Valuation will depend on potential inclusions, how it would behave in cutting, optimal shape as well as final colour," he told AFP. "All these things will need to be evaluated prior to bidding." he added.
The biggest diamond discovered is the 3,106-carat Cullinan, found near Pretoria in South Africa in 1905.
Lucara indicated on its website that the Karowe Mine had also this week turned up further finds -- an 813 carat stone and a 374 carat stone, prompting Lamb to laud "an amazing week" for the company.
Source close to Tingtong Muzik camp have disclosed that Don Kizzoh deliberately denied Tosin Igho as the video director of his trending song Sonma. It was learnt that Tosin Igho consistently visited the Tingtong Muzik lounge in demand for the opportunity to shoot the video, with high promises of delivering a video good enough to be aired on satellite TV stations including Sound City, Channel O, MTv Base etc. He finally won the Tingtong Muzik boss trust and got the job but failed on his part of the arrangement.

The 44 year old actor who has a 6 year old son Walker Nathaniel Diggs, with former wife, actress and singer Idina Mendez (of Frozen) wrote a piece about race where he said he finds it offensive when people refer to his son as "black.". What he wrote below...
“The first book I wrote, Chocolate Me, was based on my experiences growing up a little chocolate boy in a predominantly white neighborhood, and how I would get made fun of, and how through my mother and father and my own recognition, I was able to develop the power of self love,”
“My new book [Mixed Me] is kind of along similar lines for my son, even though in this day and age he’s going to have less of an issue being mixed than I did. It’s a book of self love and self appreciation and knowing that you are special regardless of what people will say about you because people will always say stuff,"
Diggs then turned his focus to President Obama, whom is often described as the first black U.S. president when in fact he’s biracial. Diggs hopes that soon society will begin to identify Obama more often as mixed.
“As African Americans we were so quick to say 'okay he’s black he’s black,' and then there were the white people who were afraid to say he was biracial because who knows. . . It would be great if it didn’t matter and that people could call him mixed. We’re still choosing to make that decision, and that’s when I think you get into some dangerous waters.”
A 22-year-old Russian man recently got married to a pizza...yes, you read right. Pizza, that round flat bread usually topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in an oven. Except that this particular pizza wore a white wedding veil. The ceremony allegedly took place in the city of Tomsk, Russia, in a pizzeria with chefs and managers as witnesses because Russian authorities refused to officially register the marriage and a church also declined. Awon ti won ni she se! Lol
The unnamed groom says he decided to marry his favourite fast food after getting bored of the single life. "Love between two humans is a complicated wild thing," he said. "Pizza, on the other hand, would not reject you or betray you, and speaking quite frankly and sincerely, I love it." The restaurant even presented the groom and his 'bride' with an unofficial wedding certificate on a clipboard.

Today Tuesday, November 17, Rwanda's Upper house of parliament unanimously approved a constitutional amendment to allow President Paul Kagame to seek a third term in office. The proposal have already passed through the lower house of Parliament in October.
Kagame ,57, who has been in power since 2000, won widespread praise for ending a genocide in 1994 of some 800,000 people, most of them Tutsis and moderate Hutus, and for rebuilding the nation.
Senate head Bernard Makuza said he expected the changes to be approved in a referendum, adding Kagame, whose current term ends in 2017, could run for another seven-year term and then two five-year terms, possibly keeping him in power until 2034.
"But it all depends on his will," he told reporters after the unanimous vote.
Kagame has not said if he would run again, but has said he was open to persuasion.
"If i ran again, i would do more of what i am doing to improve the well-being of the citizens of Rwanda," he said on his official twitter account.
According to Reuters, the opposition party, Democratic Green Party, tried to stop the amendments through legal action, but the Supreme Court rejected its bid, saying it was up to citizens to decide.
Frank Habineza, Democratic Green Party's leader, told Reuters by telephone, that the senate approval would not deter his party from opposing the amendments.
"We will continue with our no-change campaign."Habineza said.

What a horror weekend for France... At least five people were killed and seven injured after a high speed train came off the tracks as it crossed a bridge and plunged into a canal in France, according to local reports.
Photographs of the wreckage show its carriages half submerged in the water outside Eckwersheim, Strasbourg. Rescue workers were seen approaching the mangled train on rubber dinghies and tending to the wounded by the side of the canal.
