Nigerian women lead in skin bleaching – WHO

* In extreme cases of skin bleaching, the skin can become multi-coloured and marred with inflammation or scarring.

The World Health Organisation, WHO, has said 77 percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening products, the world’s highest percentage. The figure compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27 percent in Senegal.

The WHO report said the reasons for this are varied but most people said they use skin-lighteners because they want “white skin”.

WHO also said skin bleaching comes with hazardous health consequences. The dangers associated with the use of toxic compounds for skin bleaching include, blood cancers such as leukemia and cancers of the liver and kidneys, as well as severe skin conditions. It said hardcore bleachers use illegal ointments containing toxins like mercury, a metal that blocks production of melanin, which gives the skin its colour, but can also be toxic.

Exchange: Court artist sketch by Elizabeth Cook of a member of the public gallery blowing kisses at Michael Adebolajo in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court

Raising his arm into a Usain Bolt pose, Michael Adebolajo kisses a copy of the Koran with his eyes closed.

The terror suspect went through this routine as he appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering Drummer Lee Rigby.

Stooping in the dock with a large bandage on his left arm, the 28-year-old demanded to be called ‘Abu Hamza’.

Clutching a copy of the Koran in his right hand, Adebolajo repeatedly interrupted the hearing.

At one point he said: ‘I’m only a man. I would like to alleviate the pain if I may.’ Then suddenly he held his hands aloft and closed his eyes before kissing the Koran.

Throughout the 12-minute hearing Adebolajo blew kisses towards a relative in the public gallery, understood to be his younger brother Jeremiah.

Robbers Raid Police Headquarters

Some Burglars are reported to have taken their nefarious activities onto the door steps of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Alhassan, in a rather defiant manner, when they broke into the Police Headquarters last Monday dawn, DAILY GUIDE has gathered.

The group, a source said, raided the 4th floor of the main Headquarters and left evidential proof that they were not perturbed at all of being caught as they had a field day in one of the offices.

It is not clear what their mission was, but DAILY GUIDE's investigation showed that one of the schedule officers (Director-Generals), had a shock of his life when a bottle of whisky he had kept in the office was ostensibly quaffed by the daring burglars, who ate everything in sight without fear.

So far, no arrest has been made, and sources say the IGP deemed it a dent on his administration and, therefore, was keeping the incident under wraps.

However, most persons who were contacted at the Police Headquarters over the issue were playing the innocent in an attempt to down play the incident.

Spainish Police Smash Nigerian 'Voodoo' Prostitution Ring

Police arrested 17 suspects in cities across Spain, taking the gang apart, after one of the prostitutes gave evidence as a protected witness of her ordeal at the hands of the gang.

"The organisation was perfectly structured with connections in various African countries such as Nigeria, Benin, Niger, Algeria and Morocco, through which the women passed until their arrival in Spain," police said in a statement.

"The women were forced with voodoo practices and constant beatings to work as street prostitutes to repay a 'debt' to the organisation that rose as high as $69,000," the statement added.

PRESS RELEASE: AL-JAZEERA’S REPORT ON STATE OF EMERGENCY AND “CIVILIAN CASUALTIES” IS CONTRIVED AND MISLEADING

We view with grave concern, the attempt by sections of the media, especially the foreign media to mislead the general public and the international community about the on-going State of Emergency and military operations in three states of the Federation: Adamawa, Yobe and Borno. For the avoidance of doubt, the declaration of a state of emergency and the consequential security operations are meant to protect the civilian population and the territory from the macabre and dastardly assault on the Nigerian state by insurgents and terrorists. It is not an operation against innocent citizens as Al-Jazeera and others are suggesting.

In executing this sovereign objective, President Jonathan explicitly directed that the operations be conducted in line with applicable rules of engagement and peculiar care in managing a unique situation. In an earlier statement, he had also made it clear to the military high command and received assurances that those who violate their operational orders will be disciplined accordingly. In line with this regard for the rights of the civilian population, the President Jonathan had ordered the release of women and under-aged persons in protective custody, and made arrangements for their immediate rehabilitation. Fifty eight persons in this category have been released.

CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (left); Maryam Waisu Yaro (right)

Twenty minutes to midnight on February 25, 2013, and a day before the board of theCentral Bank of Nigeria was due to meet, Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi developed a craving for romance—he badly needed a kiss.

The governor, married, with children, grabbed his mobile phone and typed out a message.  “Maybe you should come kiss me before board meeting tomorrow,” Mr. Sanusi wrote and then squeezed the send button.

At about 9 a.m. the next day, Mrs. Maryam Yaro, a married mother of two, an assistant director and subordinate to the governor at the CBN, arrived at Sanusi’s unnamed Abuja hotel, seeking to keep the date and help address her boss’ craving for a kiss.  (Insiders say board members, including those who live in Abuja, are usually lodged in hotels ahead of board meetings).

But by the time Mrs. Yaro left the hotel to return to her official desk at the CBN, the duo had also struck out an arrangement to spend the rest of the week together in Lagos.

Female (Filipina) Cannibal in Indonesia (CAUTION: SOME MAY FIND PICTURE DISTURBING)

Indonesia’s police have arrested a 29-year-old Philippians woman for killing and eating humans. This woman has killed and eaten more than 30 girls and many other humans including her husband and had kept their meat in her refrigerator.She had been enjoying eating human meat for long time.

This cannibal female had said, that she arranged many parties for her friends and relatives, to whom she had cooked and served human meat, without their knowledge. Her guests had said, that her food tasted very delicious.

This woman said that she has eaten the victims due to her inner desires and if she is given other chance, she would repeat this action again without any interruptions.

Even in prison, she had attacked a female guard, bitten her right hand and swallowed one of her fingers.

I’m sorry, but what is the difference between animal meat and human meat, other than humans are our own species, which means nothing. What she’s done is no different from what happens to animals in factories every single fucking day.

Woolwich murder, the MI6 connection: Younger brother of Michael Adebolajo 'was paid thousands to spy in Middle East'

Via - Daily Mail 

The younger brother of one of the men accused of murdering Drummer Lee Rigby was paid thousands of pounds by MI6 as part of spying operations in the Middle East, The Mail on Sunday has discovered.

Jeremiah Adebolajo, who uses the name Abul Jaleel, was also asked to help ‘turn’ his brother, Michael, to work for MI5, who were already aware of Michael’s close links to extremist groups.

The claims are made by the Adebolajo family and a well-placed source who contacted The Mail on Sunday.

Jeremiah Adebolajo, 26, who works as an English teacher at a  university in Saudi Arabia and returned to Britain this week, is to be questioned about his brother by Scotland Yard counter-terrorism detectives today. 

Government sources have already confirmed that Michael Adebolajo was known to MI5. Last week it was alleged that he rebuffed efforts by the security service to recruit him as a spy.

Michael, 28, was discharged from hospital on Friday and was yesterday charged with the murder of Drummer Rigby and attempted murder of two police officers on May 22 in Woolwich, South London.

Now it has emerged that MI5’s  sister agency, MI6, had targeted Jeremiah, a married teacher based at the University of Ha’il.

MI5 and MI6 work closely together on counter-terrorism operations. MI5 focuses on home security, while MI6 targets threats from overseas.

A document seen by The Mail on Sunday details concerns raised by Jeremiah’s family about MI6’s alleged harassment in April last year.

In it, Jeremiah’s sister, Blessing Adebolajo, 32, who works as a human resources assistant in London, says her brother was approached by MI6 while he was working at the University of Ha’il – an important strategic location in the Middle East because it takes only one hour by plane to reach 11 Arab capitals.

HEZBOLLAH'S ARMOURY UNCOVERED IN KANO *Suspects claim weapons were meant to fight Israeli, Western interests in Nigeria [Photo]

Via - Tribune

NIGERIA'S security services, on Thursday, said they had discovered a home in Kano, where Lebanese nationals had stored weapons intended to attack Israeli and Western targets in Nigeria.

The Kano State Director of State Security Service (SSS), Bassey Etang and a separate military statement described the compound as hosting a "terrorist cell" tied to the Lebanese Shiite movement, Hezbollah.

No evidence was provided linking the home to the Lebanese group.

Journalists were brought to the compound in the upmarket Bompai neighbourhood of Kano and taken to a bunker dug beneath a bedroom where weapons had allegedly been stored.

"The weapons include anti-tank weapons, rocket propelled guns, anti-tank (and) antipersonnel mines, among other dangerous weapons," the military statement said.

It said three Lebanese nationals had been arrested in connection with the illegal arms cache, while a fourth suspect was at large.

"This is the handiwork of Hezbollah. What has just been discovered is the cell of Hezbollah and what you have seen here is a Hezbollah armoury," Etang said.

"These weapons are meant to be used to target Israeli and Western interests in Nigeria," he added.

According to the SSS chief, "investigations are still ongoing to determine if the Lebanese nationals are really connected to Boko Haram."

Nigeria security agencies on Friday evening sealed off the popular Amigo supermarket, owned by a Lebanese who is accused of being part of a major terrorist cell.

The Joint Task Force in Kano on Thursday named Fauzi Fawad, a co-owner of Amigo and Wonderland Amusement Park, Abuja’s largest, as allegedly part of a Lebanese Hezbollah cell operating in Nigeria.

Both public areas were open on Friday as shoppers and visitors, many unaware of Mr. Fawad’s alleged involvement, continued their transactions. Wonderland also allowed visitors in without the basic entry fee.
