Looking for a cheap place to stay in New York? Inside the cockroach-infested 'hotel' where more than 100 men sleep side-by-side in chicken wire 'kennels'

Heinous: John Arkue sits in his tiny room at the Sun Bright Hotel

It’s a New York hotel offering 'cages' for just $10 a night - and you get what you pay for.  

The single rooms at Chinatown's The Sun Bright Hotel have been described as 'animal shelters', where more than 100 disadvantaged men live side by side in cockroach-infested chicken wire boxes. 

Only men are allowed in the 'kennels' on the third and fourth floors, and the rooms are just seven by five feet - smaller than a prison's solitary-confinement cell.

And at least one resident reported the body of a man was left to rot in his room for 15 days before it was removed - and the room wasn't even cleaned afterward.

6 Horrifying Dark Sides of Creatures You Think Are Adorable

Nature is filled with horrible beasts that look like they want to kill you (and in fact very much do). But at least those nightmares are honest, and look the part. The real assholes are those animals that look completely harmless -- adorable even -- but possess secret powers that expose them as the goddamned monsters and borderline space aliens that they truly are. For example ...

#6. Starfish Are Flesh-Eating Predators With Detachable Stomachs of Acidic Doom

For many of us, starfish are little more than blind, deaf, headless, brainless creatures that feel just as at home dried up on the beach as they do rambling along in the water. If they could talk, they would absolutely be Patrick from SpongeBob. It's almost impossible for them to look less intimidating than they already do. That, unfortunately, is part of their cruel master plan. Behold a starfish's eating habits:

Mad as a Marine Biologist
Still more dignified than Golden Corral.

Yep, starfish are voracious meat lovers, consuming anything they can catch: oysters, fish, snails. Shit, if we were small enough, they'd probably get us, too. But perhaps you're wondering how they actually, you know, digest stuff, since they lack teeth, jaws, or anything even remotely resembling a mouth. Simple: They spit their sticky, acidic stomach clean out of their body, catching their prey and digesting it for hours, sometimes days.

Onitsha Human Head Saga: Hotelier’s Wife Cries For Help

Via - The Sun
Wife of the Proprietor of Upper Class Hotel where two human heads and other items were discovered by the police in Onitsha has raised the alarm over the safety of her husband.

Mrs. Nkiru Mokwe, a lawyer, said the life of her husband was in danger and appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan and Senate President David Mark to intervene in the matter while they pursue justice. “My husband was arrested and detained at Central Police Station, CPS, Onitsha. When the Commissioner of Police was petitioned, he was moved to Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Awkuzu. My husband is being detained in a very de-humanizing condition at SARS Awkuzu, and the police have denied him access to his lawyer and relations,” she said.

“My husband’s hotel at No 8 Old Market Road Onitsha which he inherited from his father, Chief G.C Mokwe, has been demolished.”

The Hotel In Onitsha Where Two Human Heads Were Allegedly Discovered

This is the popular hotel in Onitsha that was demolished by the Anambra State government last week after two human skulls were allegedly discovered inside. The hotel, called Upper Class Hotel, is located at 8 Old Market Road, Onitsha and is owned by business man, Mr Bonaventure Mokwe.

The human skulls, a male and a female head, were discovered after the Nigerian police raided the hotel following a tip off. Mr Mokwe has been arrested along with 10 other people.

His wife, Mrs Nkiru Mokwe, a lawyer, has appealed to president Jonathan to save her husband's life claiming he was set up. She said the whole thing was a set up and the human heads planted in the hotel by people who wanted to destroy her husband.

Video: Watch Dbanj And Don Jazzy's Surprise Performance At Taiwo Oyebanjo's Wedding

A lot of people have been talking about a D'Banj and Don Jazzy re-union since their shocking break up, and this is by far the closest they have appeared together in public since the break-up in March 2012 and the venue was perfect, the wedding ceremony of D'banj's sister. The erstwhile partners met up at D'banj's younger sister's wedding to Cool FM's Dotun on, August 3, 2013 at The Grandeur Event Centre, Ikeja, Lagos. The top producer at Mavin Records and top recording artiste at DB Records shocked guests when they got on stage and performed some of their hit duets including 'Mr Endowed', 'Fall in love' and 'Suddenly' for the new couple. Although the pair has met a couple of times since parting ways, it is the first time they're performing together. It was not clear as at yesterday if Don Jazzy would attend the wedding. But those familiar with the producer say it's no surprise he joined the Oyebanjos for what's an important celebration. 'Don Jazzy is part of the family. What has happened has happened, but Jazzy was quite close to the family and D'Banj's mom was like the mother of Mohits', a source told NE. D'banj who confessed he's 'extremely happy', about the surprise reunion also presented the couple with a brand new Honda CRV. Don Jazzy and D'banj's relationship collapsed controversially last year. Label-mates and collaborators like Dr SID, D'Prince and Wande Coal took sides with Don Jazzy while younger brother KaySwitch pitched tents with D'banj.

Elite Universities To Make Unprecedented Number Of Places Available Through Clearing

At least half the country’s leading universities — including Warwick, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds — confirmed they would be part of the system set up to match students with spare places. Glasgow said all arts courses and most science and engineering subjects would be open to students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland through clearing.

Top universities have traditionally offered few places through clearing as they are usually oversubscribed. But this year courses including engineering, biology, physics, English and foreign languages will be available because of reforms to the admissions system combined with concerns that some students continue to be put off by annual tuition fees of up to £9,000.

Sole Survivor: The Woman Who Fell To Earth

In 1971 Juliane Koepcke survived a plane crash in the Peruvian jungle. Only now can she bear to tell the full story, in her memoir When I Fell from the Sky

A high school student was sucked out of an airplane after it was struck by lightning. She fell 3.2 kilometers to the ground still strapped to her chair and lived. Only to endure a 9 day walk to the nearest civilization.

After her airliner broke up in midair, she survived after falling about 3 km (10,000 feet) still strapped to her airliner seat, before the seat crashed through the rain forest canopy and came to rest on the forest floor.

Airplane crash: Juliane Koepcke was a German Peruvian high school senior student studying in Lima, intending to become a zoologist, like her parents. She and her mother, ornithologist Maria Koepcke, were traveling to meet with her father, biologist Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke, who was working in the city of Pucallpa.

Kind, intelligent, funny and attractive, Helena had a way with words and a devoted set of friends. She adored men and spent her life helping women.

Simon Cowell accused of adultery in divorce papers as family of his pregnant lover's husband accuses him of 'unbelievable betrayal'

Too much sun: Andrew watched his wife giggle away with the millionaire music mogul

Simon Cowell was today sensationally named in divorce papers filed by his married lover Lauren Silverman's husband Andrew, as his brother blasted the music mogul for his 'betrayal'.

Alexander Silverman insisted that news of Lauren's pregnancy constituted a breach of trust by Cowell, as he had been close friends with both Lauren and millionaire casino owner Andrew. 

He told the New York Post: 'It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story.'

Alexander's comments came as it was reported that Andrew had made the unusual choice to name Cowell as a co-respondent in the divorce papers he filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court two weeks ago, citing adultery as the reason for ending the marriage.

The decision, widely regarded as a means to embarrass both the mogul and Andrew's estranged wife, means that Cowell is likely to be called to the witness stand to reveal not only details of the alleged affair with Lauren but also details of his personal finances, estimated to be in the region of $350million.

Evil House Wife Pierces Neighbour's Heart With Knife During Scuffle In Lagos

SATURDAY, June 22,2013, will for a long time remain indelible in the memory of Godwin Olah, 37, following an incident that claimed the life of his 28- year-old wife, Stella, during a row with a neighbour identified as Stella Omoigiafo Gilbert (31). The suspect, a mother of one, allegedly pierced the heart of the deceased, a mother of three aged between six and three, with a knife after a scuffle in their compound.

The grieving husband of the deceased who hails from Obudu local Government Area of Cross River State, Godwin, told Crime Alert at their number 59, Ojora Street, Ajegunle, Lagos residence that the suspect also inflicted severe injuries on his wife's hand before piercing her heart resulting to her death. Amidst tears, he narrated his ordeal since the untimely death of his wife.

His story: "It happened that on June 22, 2013, at about 6pm, one of my sisters came calling on us. I decided to carry one small bench at the front of a neighbour's house for the visitor to sit inside our room. Immediately, Stella, our neighbour, rushed out of her room and accosted me, asking why I should carry the bench inside. The owner of the bench, on hearing our argument, came out and asked her to let us be, but she refused, instead she went inside, brought out hot water and poured on us. I reasoned that if I engage in a fight with her, it might result to some serious consequences, so, I went to the police station at Ajaromi and reported the case.

"That place is not for me, I have been through hell and back and I don't need Kehinde Oloyede's house and car" - Funke Akindele

In a revealing chat with E-247 magazine, Funke Akindele sort of replied her husband's interview with Encomium magazine that he was building a house for her before she walked out.
Though Kehinde was the first to go public with the news of their separation on Facebook, Funke Akindele gave her ears to her in-laws who felt she could still change her mind and that separation actually is not the solution to the problem. 

Funke told E24-7MAGAZINE on Friday:

That place is not for me, I have been through hell and back. 
I was abused emotionally and verbally. Really, I felt we could work things out when the trouble started two months after the marriage. 
But I made up my mind and shut the door of the marriage at him when the trouble was coming to me too much. 

I stooped to conquer him; buried my fame and name to make him my husband, but it did not work. At a point in time, I asked if it's not the same man that was all over me before we married. 

He nearly got me off my career. He called me severally; I did not pick his calls but when he realized my silence was tormenting him, he took to Facebook. 
It's alright.

Paul, who has two children and two grandchildren from his first marriage, drove Amanda to the nearest hospital.

Two Persons Arrested In Lagos Over Visa Lottery Scam Marriage [Photos]

Police in Lagos disclosed that two persons, Adetokunbo Adejayan and Juliet Adebisi, have been arrested by the police Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos, for pretending to be married in order to secure a United States visa.

The crime was said to have been brought to the notice of the SFU through a petition by the Assistant Regional Security Officer, United States Consulate General.

Police investigation revealed that Adejayan and Adebisi were not husband and wife as claimed.

It was discovered that the false union was arranged by one Segun and his syndicate, which specialise in teaming up US visa lottery winners with non-winners   for onward “smuggling” to the US.

A statement by the SFU Public Relations Officer,  Ngozi Isintume-Agu, said, “Their method is to merge a visa lottery winner with a non-winner and package both to US.

“In this case, the sum of N1.5m was paid by Adebisi and she was purportedly joined in matrimony with Adejayan, who genuinely won an American Visa lottery.  Both suspects have made confessional statements that they are not legally married.”

Adeyanju, 35, who teaches in a secondary school   in  Mafoluku, Oshodi, was said to have won the lottery in May 2012.
