Heat Wave In India Kills Over 500 People

Soaring temperatures have gripped parts of southern and northern India in an extreme heat wave which has killed more than 500 people and looks set to continue this week, officials said on Monday.

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a red warning to affected regions saying that the heat wave conditions are likely to continue over coming days.

Director of Andhra Pradesh’s Disaster Management Department K. Dhananjaya Reddy said 325 people had died of sunstroke or dehydration in the state in the last three days.

“We are advising people not to go to work between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said Reddy. “We have also opened centers in different places specially in urban areas for the distribution of water and b*tter milk.”

The government has canceled the leave of all doctors as hospitals were being flooded with cases of heat-stroke, he said, adding that compensation of 100,000 rupees ($1,575) will be given to families of people who had died.

While in the neighboring state of Telangana, where 204 people have died, officials have advised people to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, drink plenty of fluids and wear loose clothing.
Taxi drivers in Kolkata – capital of West Bengal state where four deaths have been reported – refused to work between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. after two cabbies died in their cars last week.

Foluke Daramola: Actress Reveals She Lost Her Virginity Through Rape

he actress who has just launched a foundation 'Passion Against Rape in Africa' (PARA), a PAN World Global rape foundation disclosed this in an interview with Encomium Weekly.

"I had it at either 16 or 17. I had even started acting. I just started with my teenage talk show. And because it’s a first experience, it was nasty. So, my own belief about sexual intercourse was bad. I felt frightened anytime I have a reason to do it" said the actress.

She disclosed that because of the incident she had a negative attitude towards sex and relationships. 

"Exactly! So, I just had to cope through it. And by the time I came out of it, I came out a better person. It even affected my psyche and confidence because I was always so afraid. When a man discusses relationship with me, I see it like there is trouble. So, at the end of the day I can say conveniently that I have put it behind me. And the person I married today has helped me because I speak about it. If I don’t speak about it, there’s no how I would come out of it like that."

Foluke Daramola married her second husband Kayode Salako in 2013. The pair are currently separated.

The actress said that talking about her rape experience has helped her to not feel guilty. "Each time I speak about it, I am loosening up every form of the pain and guilt and all that because I used to feel guilty that I am the one that caused it to happen to me. And I can tell you authoritatively that I go to a conference to talk about rape, at each time I have had women telling me that either it had happened to them or their children but they don’t know how to discuss it with anybody other than their pastors."

See 5 reasons Why Genevieve Nnaji Is Bigger Than Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

I came across this online and thought it would be a good read, tell me if you agree in the comments section.

Read the report below: –

Here are five reasons why Genevieve is bigger than Omotola: –

1. Genevieve started her acting career before Omotola. She made her debut in 1987 in the TV soap opera Ripples at the age of 8.
   
   
2. She was the first to get international recognition when she was described as the ‘Juliet Roberts of Africa’ by Oprah Winfrey in 2003.
   
   
3. She has a more successful relationship with corporate Nigeria. Deals with Lux, Range Rover, Etisalat, MUD, and her own fashion line St. Genevieve makes her a very successful brand in business than Omotola.
   
   
4. Both actresses have national honours- but Genevieve was the first to receive hers. She was awarded the Order of the Federal Republic in 2011.
   
   
5. Between the two stars, she is the first to give up a music career made up of little talent which was going nowhere. Unfortunately, Omotola still believes she has a shot in music which has slightly dented her brand.

Yvonne Nelson Opens Up On Her Fight With John Dumelo

It’s no longer news that Ghollywood stars, Yvonne Nelson and John Dumelo are at war with each other, even thought they used to be best of friends.



 Yvonne Nelson has spoken on the issue on Y 107.9 FM while she was on the radio show to promote her upcoming movie ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ with Bismark the Joke, Kwaku Elliot and Khareema Aguiar.

Yvonne talked about her fued with John: –

“I’m sure everyone knows John will forever be my baby boo, love, friend, best friend… charley I can go on and on. Chaley I love John oh, we were not fighting, it was just some little child’s play on social media. So me and John we are good, don’t get worried and don’t get scared. His an amazing guy, I don’t think he is in Ghana now. When he comes I know he is going to say all the nice things about me. Me and John we are homies, we are Fantes.”

“It’s just the campaign or whatever that started this but let’s not go there. Because I think the ass kissing tweet wasn’t too bad for him to react that way because I normally tell him he feels like a hundred donkeys and hundred chickens and he is cool. We play like that and we have that relationship. It’s all political.

She also said, “I was surprised when I saw it and I was wondering, ‘is John dreaming?. I’m thinking there is so many girls around John telling him to do stuff because they are thinking we have a thing going on but come on John is my friend. But I know girls are happy this happened but we are homies. His girls are happy….I still have John’s pictures up on my instagram but people are in a hurry to judge because the thing about it is that I delete my instagram pictures from time to time. That’s why I post a lot but I have few pictures on my timeline now.”

We used guns but I don’t know where James was buying them. Sulaimon and Alhaji, who are also in the gang, knew how the guns were bought for our operations. I have fired shots at our targets but nobody was killed.

• Washing of your undies (panties)
Please try to reduce the amount of times you wash your undies in our presence. Forget that popular slang which tends to say that when a man loves you, he can even wash your undies, we’re not that cool with seeing someone else’s undies!

Control the length you laugh in front of us. When we’re not around, you can laugh and bring down the roof if you wish. I was talking to a lady and she laughed so loud that she didn’t know when she polluted.

You Need To See How Eric Amodu Blasted Tuface Over His PDP Comment

Oh dear, one Eric Amodu has replied Tuface Idibia over his PDP comment. It will be recalled that Tuface had earlier taken to twitter where he said the Federal Government and State Governments had failed Nigerians in the past 16years. Eric Amodu who however knows what Tuface has benefitted from the party, especially PDP Governors, took to Benue.com.ng (Tuface is from Benue by the way) to call him out and tell Nigerians how he has benefitted MILLIONS from PDP government. It is an open letter. Do read it below…



“Too bad you threw the bomb at yourself on this. You are my friend but the truth must be told.

Question 1. Name a single soul you’ ve ever helped?

Question 2. Why did your fellow childhood friends deserted you?

Question 3. What have you given back to the society that made u?

Infact lets go deeper

First of all, OJB produced you and brought you to limelight and even gave you a song for free without you paying a dime. But you threw your back at him when the world was rallying round to save his life.

Not even a dime from you when lesser musicians gave their widows mite.

No any Idoma sons could say he’s on your scholarship list yet you have the mouth to talk back at the people that you helped in eating from their states’ funds.

You ate the resources meant for Benue State during Akume days in PDP as a governor when he bought you a Camry.

Halima Abubakar Talks About Her Relationship And How Life Has Treated Her

In a recent chat with Encomium, the actress revealed her relationship issues, why she was depressed and how life treated her during hard times.



When asked about her depression, the actress said “It’s a very huge experience, and coming out of it wasn’t that easy.  A lot of people don’t really understand what being depressed is.  Some may say they are sad, they are not but depressed.  But what happens is that they don’t know they’re depressed, they’re just sad.  Every day they ask such people, they will reply, I just dey jare.  Each day they’re thinking about so many things – they think about money, love, husband, kids and all that, and all these things and more cause depression which many Nigerians don’t know because we’re strong.

We think we’re just sad when we’re in that situation. Initially, I thought I was just low, until I started having migraine. I couldn’t sleep. At a point, I couldn’t even sleep for two weeks. ”
    
Halima also said “You wouldn’t believe it, I was thinking I had migraine, the doctor said I had typhoid.  So, we’re treating typhoid and before I knew it, I was hospitalized. I was in the hospital for a week, treating typhoid. Later, I thought I was okay, I went to Obasanjo son’s wedding in Abeokuta, Ogun State.  The guy married my friend.  So, we all went for the wedding.  While I was there, I was extremely happy, dancing and all that but at the end of the wedding, I started feeling funny.  That night against the next day, I couldn’t really figure out what happened. I just realized I needed to go back to the hospital.  So, the very next day, I had to leave Abeokuta straight to the hospital.  And my doctor said my migraine was back.  And we started talking.  He was asking me questions and when he was going personal, I told him I didn’t want to talk on anything like that.  But he told me I had to so that he could see if what was wrong with me was personal.  I was still on medication for a while, but thank God I have overcome that.  And Insha Allah, it won’t come back.”

Woman Dies During Sex With Lagos Driver

the suspect picked up the victim around Baruwa Estate in the Ipaja area of the state, on Friday. A police source told our correspondent that investigations showed that the suspect took the lady home and as they were having sex, the victim died.

 

 

 

A neighbour was said to have alerted policemen from the Ipaja division, who arrested the suspect and deposited the victim’s corpse in a mortuary.

 

Nobody knew the victim’s name and address, just as no member of her family had shown up. The source said,

 

 “The man was driving his cab that fateful day when the lady flagged him down.

“She asked him for money, but he told her he didn’t have any money on him. He then asked her to enter the car and follow him home. He took her to his apartment in Baruwa Estate and it was that night that the girl died. Investigation showed that it was while he was making love to her that she died. It was the following morning that somebody alerted the police.”

Our correspondent, however, learnt that the suspect, in his confession told the police that he had picked the victim from the bus stop and taken her home when she suddenly died.

Another source explained that the suspect had continued to plead his innocence, saying he only helped the deceased and did not have s*x with her. He said,

 “The man did not deny taking the girl home. But he explained that while she was in his room, she started shouting that she had a headache, and before he knew what was going on, she fell down and died.

“He said he was confused and didn’t know what to do. But obviously, that may not be all the truth.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.

, “We have arrested the man. As I speak with you, the matter is under investigation at the DCI, to know what actually killed the lady. The deceased’s name and address are unknown.

 

Ijaw Youths Laud Jonathan on Relocation of Project from Lagos to Bayelsa, Draws Battle Line With Oil Companies

Ijaw Youths have hailed President Goodluck Jonathan’s directive that the fabrication of Egina Floating Production Storage and Offloading, FPSO, vessel be relocated to Agge in Bayelsa State.



The $500 million project had earlier been slated for LADOL fabrication yard in Lagos but was controversially ordered for relocation by President Jonathan earlier this month. The directive, which has raised eyebrows as it comes in the twilight of the Jonathan administration, also instructed industry operators to move oil and gas cargoes to only ports in Warri, Calabar and Onne, nearer to the Niger Delta where the projects are to be sited.

The youth under the aegis of Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, in a statement issued in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital on Sunday by its spokesman, Eric Omare, said the directive made economic sense and was in tandem with the Nigerian Content Act, 2010.

“The IYC and indeed the Niger Delta people back the directive of President Jonathan to move the fabrication of oil and gas materials to the Niger Delta where the eventual job is to be done.

“This is not only in line with the requirement of the local content law but is also makes so much economic sense.

“It is common knowledge that Lagos is highly congested and there is need to move some class of cargoes especially oil and gas materials to ports within the Niger Delta region where the oil facilities are located.

 His cup was full when the security men smelled a foul play when they saw the man drive into the estate when most people had gone to work and they trailed him only to realise his nefarious acts.

This time, he was not that lucky as he was caught and given a serious beating before he was handed over to the police.
