Photos: One police officer, eight Shi'ites killed in Kano clash
A police officer and 10 Shi'ite members have been confirmed dead in a clash between the security agents and the Islamic group members in Kano state earlier today. The Shi'ite members staged a religious march in the state this morning. To stop their procession, the police teargassed the group. The situation became chaotic as the group members retaliated and attacked the police.
Confirming the number of casualties, the state's commissioner of police, Rabiu Yusuf, said;
"At about 8am on Monday, thousands of Shi'ites denied other motorists and other road users free access to Kano-Kaduna expressway between Kwanar Dawaki and Tamburawa village in Dawaki Kudi local government area. The Shi'ites also attacked innocent citizens, damaged police and personal property thereby causing mayhem which led to general disturbance of public peace in the state.

Woman suing Zara clothing after finding rat sewn in her dress
A woman is suing clothing giant Zara over a rat -- or at least part of one -- that she says was sewn into the hem of a dress she'd bought off the rack.Cailey Fiesel says she snapped up the dress at Zara's Greenwich, CT store in July, and when she finally wore it to work a few weeks later she noticed a "disturbingly pungent odor."
Later on that day, Cailey says she noticed a loose string rubbing against her leg, and when she reached down felt an unusual bulge in the dress. That's when she realized the string was actually the leg of a dead rodent.
Cailey says she developed a large rash that doctors diagnosed as a rodent born disease. She's suing for unspecified damages.
A spokesperson for Zara tells us, "Zara USA is aware of the suit, and we are investigating the matter further. Zara USA has stringent health and safety standards, and we are committed to ensuring that all of our products meet these rigorous requirements."

Porn star claims Snoop Dogg's 22year old son Corde raped her...exposes alleged details on Facebook
She didn't mention the person's name but 'Therealpornwikileaks.com' identified the person she was talking about as Snoop Dogg’s son Corde Broadus and claimed they got Leya’s permission to post her full story on their site. Read after the cut...
Here is how she started off her allegations:
I remember way back when I was a young girl seeing your father, listening to your father, basically idolizing your father, so when I found out that he had a television show showcasing him and his family I was nothing short of ecstatic, I tuned into it every single week.She claims the two met up, and that he drugged her:
Though I watched it mainly for your father, I thought you were the cutest little thing and the way the show portrayed your family is that yourself and your siblings were raised very well, I was disappointed when the show was cancelled but that was that until a few years later about a year after I started my career in adult films I came across something someone re-tweeted of you and I clicked and thought wow that cute little boy grew up into a very attractive man but I should have left it at that.
On the way to my car I took another sip of my drink and asked you to hold my cup for a second while I put my jacket on because I was a little cold and that is where I firmly believe you very stealthily snuck something into my drink, something that would immobilize me, erase my memory and allow you to do whatever it was you wanted to do to me.Source: MediaTakeOut.com
We got into my car, you went into the driver’s seat, I plugged in my ipod, took another sip of my drink and went back to trying to find a good song on my ipod to listen to on the way to wherever we were going to decide to go and the next thing I know is I wake up naked, completely disoriented, my vagina feeling swollen and torn like never before, I was covered in vomit and somehow made it upstairs to the room I was staying in.

NCC threatens to sanction MTN, other networks over unsolicited telemarketing messages
According to a statement released today in Abuja by the Director of Public Affairs of the commission, Mr Tony Ojobo; NCC had written to all 13 networks providers in Nigeria, on whose networks the body had received series of complaints from subscribers regarding adherence to the ‘Do Not Disturb’ (DND) service rule issued to them by NCC.
Tony Ojobo said;
“The commission has engaged mobile network operators on this subject. 13 network operators risk severe sanctions by the commission. The network operators are Airtel Network Ltd., MTN Nigeria, Globacom Nigeria, Smile Communication, Visafone Comm unications, Ntel, Etisalat, Multi links, Starcomms, Danjay Telecoms, Gamjitel Ltd. and Gicell wireless. They are however given another one-week ultimatum from Monday, Nov. 14, to remedy the situation or face the sanctions enshrined in the directive. Worried by the non-compliance by the operators occasioned by deluge of complaints by subscribers across Nigeria, the NCC inaugurated an eight-member committee to look into the matter. After several meetings, including those it held with the network providers, it became necessary to issue the latest ultimatum to redress the menace of incessant unsolicited text messages and phone calls for telemarketing via the various networks. With respect to only information on emergencies for example, national security, fire notifications on network maintenance programmes down times and notification regarding subscribers bundle usage and service renewals. Other text messages and voice calls informing subscribers of new products and service offerings are not regarded as network generated and therefore regarded as “unsolicited marketing messages. The NCC has therefore asked these network providers to ensure that information on the Do Not Disturb service should be disseminated after every revenue generating activity via the End of Call Notification (EOCN) for the period not less than 45 days within the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily from the receipt of the latest letter on the subject. The operators are also admonished to deploy this information through all their channels of communications, including websites, social media platforms, bill boards, flash messages, text messages, Interactive Voice Response platform, radio jingles, newspapers advertisements and television commercials.”
Ojobo said that this notice served as a pre-enforcement notice and failure to comply with the directives in furtherance of the direction of April 20 within seven days from Nov. 14, 2016 shall result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions, adding that the menace of unsolicited text messages that find their ways into subscribers phones have been a nightmare to millions of subscribers and the commission would no longer accept any excuses whatsoever from the network providers, henceforth.

A Petition against Remmok School on account of their gross negligence and child right violation.
Dear Sir / Ma,The above subject refers My 30 month old daughter, Miss Doxa Etim-Esin is a Kindergaten 2 student of the above named school situated at 57, Sarah Faboyede Street, Bucknor Estate, Transformer Bus Stop, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos .
Apart from being in the school within school ours, we also paid for after school care to be provided for her until we pick her up later in the evening.
On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, I got to the school premises at about 7.30pm and upon checking her body before picking her up from there, i noticed her right eye was bleeding. I was alarmed! I beckoned on the small boy she was left with and all he could say was...."I dont know what happened. It's not our fault."
At this point, I was left with no other option but to raise an alarm. The proprietress' daughter came out and maintained that whatever happened to my daughter was not their fault. At this point, I was so traumatised to keep calm. I kept demanding for explanations but got none. The proprietress' husband came out at that point to say I had no right shouting in his premises. I explained that whatever must have happened was big enough to warrant my raising an alarm. He ordered me out of his residence. On of the daughters also flung my child's school bags at me insisting the accident was not their fault.

I explained that whatever must have happened was big enough to warrant my raising an alarm. He ordered me out of his residence. On of the daughters also flung my child's school bags at me insisting the accident was not their fault.
I reported the issue to the nearest police station and the next day, the school management was invited. Based on their arrogant disposition, the DPO charged the teacher and she was detained. A few hours later she was released. After this scenario, we made it plane that our displeasure was basically the fact that a 30Months child had an accident where adults were around and was left without even first aid treatment for the next 5hours.
After the kid resumed school, we started getting signals that no one ever paid any form of attention to her. we doubt she had been allowed to stay in her right class. Being that the term was nearly over, we had planned to move her to a new school in the new term.
To our greatest surprise, the school, on Monday, November 7, 2016 inserted a dismissal letter in her school bag which was to be effective the very next day.
This is our concern. How can a school be so heartless towards children? Where was she supposed to be the next day? Did they make any arrangement or provision for a smooth transfer for the child? She is supposed to be in school with the other kids but she's been denied that right.
Remmok School is not fit to keep children since they even admitted they do not have what it takes to take care of them and keep them safe. The Proprietress equally admitted she is not knowledgeable in running a school.
We need justice for our little girl. We have been traumatized, as well as hospitalized throughout this incidence. We want the school to take responsibility for all the hospital and time expenses we have borne and also bear the cost of the school fees of the new school she will be enrolled in.
We also plead with the Ministry of Education to review Remmok's license to run a school.
If these are considered, we shall be grateful, on behalf of Miss Doxa Etim-Esin.
Looking forward to your assistance.
Kind regards,
Tunde Etim-Esin

Photos: Lagos school dismisses 2-year-old pupil after her father made a child abuse/neglect report to the police
"My uncle got to his daughter's school for pick up after the end of school day in the evening! @7:30pm cos there's a special arrangement for pupils staying after school hours.. He met his daughter bleeding on the head and he asked whoever was in charge some questions and the only reply they gave was it's not their fault that it happened in the afternoon without placing a call to her parents neither did they give her a first aid treatment That's been unfair to a 24 months old baby girl... He reported the case to the police station and the school management was summoned and with all said and done, they pleaded with no sign of being remorseful and the child resumed after being treated and all only for the parents to get a dismissal letter from the school that the child has been dismissed after all.. Thanks"

2018 World Cup Qualifiers: We won't give up hope- Algeria coach says after Nigeria's 3-1 defeat
The Algerians sit bottom of the table, with Nigeria first with 6 points, Cameroon second with 2 points while Zambia sits third with a point, but Leekens feels he will still have hope of making it to Russia while there is still a mathematical chance of doing so.
“We are still sure of qualifying mathematically and Nigeria cannot say that have qualified after two matches. You saw the way our team played and I believe that nothing is sure yet even for your team. We shall go back home to review what we have done right and wrong.
“You can see that the Algerians played very well and we created lots of chances which were not utilized. It was tough for both teams. I believe that giving up at this stage in not in our language and we are going to fight on until we have been mathematically ruled out of qualifying.”
He also alleged that the Foxes of Algeria were robbed by the referee in Uyo saying the result of the Uyo encounter could have been different had the referee not accepted Nigeria’s second goal from Mikel Obi when the score was 1-0.
“Nigeria’s second goal is not valid. There was indeed an offside position,” the 67-year-old former Belgium manager said to popular Algerian newspaper Le Buteur on Sunday.
“The goal somewhat disorganised my players, especially before the break. If the score had remained 1-0, we would have returned in the second half.”
