Photo: Woman offered us N500,000 to kill her husband in Lagos- Suspect says
According to The Nation, Ikechukwu who came to Lagos from Delta state for the job, said they were offered drinks and Kola nuts and promised N500,000 to kill the man.
The suspect who was arrested while trying to steal from the apartment, said himself and two of his colleagues had gone to the man’s house at Jakande Estate, Ajah, on four occasions but didn’t succeed in stabbing him as they planned to do.
“I live in Ogwushi -Ukwu, Delta state. My friend, Ekene, called me on the phone to inform me that he has a job for me. This was three weeks ago. I hurriedly came to Lagos and stayed with him in Ajah, I met another of his friend, Samuel. He told us that Madam Chika promised him N500,000 to kill her husband. Thereafter, he told Samuel to take me to Mr Orji’s house, so as to be able to identify the target. We went there and hid inside a tricycle, waiting for Mr. orji, whom we were told always opened his gate himself whenever he returned home. But on that day, it was his daughter that opened the gate. We went back the next day, it was his daughter that opened the gate again. By the time we went the third day, it was Mr. Orji that opened the gate himself. The plan was to rush to him and stab him eight times in the chest, rib and neck. But Samuel, who was supposed to stab him went to buy cigarette and by the time he came back, our target had gone inside and shut the gate. Out of frustration, I went back home and told Ekene to give me my own share of the money that I was going home. But he said that madam Chika would only pay after the deed was done. I decided to go into Mr. Orji’s apartment to steal instead, in order to get some money to go back to Delta state. But as I was trying to jump through the fence, somebody raised alarm and I was arrested by vigilantes. I was tied with a wire and beaten without mercy. I had to open up when they almost killed me.”
Meanwhile the accused woman has denied the allegation, claiming she only asked them to beat him up for denying her access to their children and selling their property without giving her share of the money.
She said: “We got married 14 years ago and have three daughters and a son. All of a sudden, my husband suddenly became a wife beater. He would beat me and leave me with swollen face. He threatened to kill me. It continued until three years ago, when he finally chased me out of the house and denied me access to my children. I made several efforts to get my children back, part of which was to report him to human rights offices for settlement but he did not honour any of the invitations. Both families have made attempts to settle us but he would not listen. He was served with a court warrant over the issue but he also refused to show up. Along the line, he sold the house we both built, for N85 million but never gave me any dime. He also stopped my children from visiting me and any attempt to see them always resulted in beating. Out of frustration, I told Ekene, our carpenter, to beat him up, so as to teach him a lesson. I did not hire anyone to kill him. I am a frustrated woman and I am sorry for everything.”she said

I understand your pain, frustration and struggles to achieve the body you want - because I have been there. Set aside any assumptions you might have and let me tell you my true and powerfully inspiring story...
You are about to read a story of awoman who at 37 years of age had never been to a pool, never owned a bikini and was so out of shape, flabby and couldn't bear to look at herself naked in the mirror.
That woman is me!
But ironically I was too stressed and overworked to stop and think about my own body, health and well-being.
Always thought I could never be "in shape" let alone fit, healthy or strong. I was afraid of physical exertion and never exercised.
I was discouraged and disappointed with my life. I felt trapped in a "role" I hadn't truly chosen and had lost sight of the most meaningful dreams and deepest desires I once had.
My body and spirit paid the price. Though I wasn't extremely overweight, I was horribly out of shape - and my perfectly proper executive suit hid a body covered with flabby fat and cellulite.
I couldn't bear to look at myself naked in the mirror, I couldn't, I wouldn't and I didn't.
I couldn’t swim because Ididn’t want to expose my flabby body, I almost gave up until I finally discovered this amazing New Advanced Weight Loss Solution That Allows Me Lose Weight While Sleeping.

Edo state govt declares Thursday a public holiday for Coronation of the crown prince
Saudi Arabia executes one of its princes for murder
The Ministry of Interior said in a statement on state news agency SPA that Prince Turkic bin Saud al-Kabir, had pleaded guilty to the shooting, but did not say how the prince was killed.
The Ministry said in a statement:
"The government.. is keen to keep order, stabilise security and bring about justice through implementing the rules prescribed by Allah...".Most people executed in the kingdom are beheaded with a sword.
It is very rare for members of Saudi Arabia's ruling family to be executed for whaterv reason so this shocked a lot of people.
One of the most prominent cases of a ruling royal family member being executed was King Faisal. In 1975, King Faisal was assassinated by his nephew Faisal bin Musaid al Saud.
The Saudi ruling family is estimated to be about several thousands.
Members receive monthly stipends, while the most senior princes command great wealth and political power but only a few in the family hold important government posts.
The dueling Feminisms of Taylor Swift, Hillary Clinton, and Kim Kardashian by Caroline Burke
"It's hard to talk about feminism today without mentioning some of the most visible women in American culture: Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and Hillary Clinton. who have come to represent three distinct "kinds" of accepted female identities sex and power; friendship and positivity; ambition and success. Why should we, modern women, have to fit into just one of these molds?
"It's become impossible to talk about feminism without at least mentioning the three most visible women in American culture today: Kim Kardashian, who embodies sex and power, a new form of independence that courts controversy for seeming, to some, degrading. Taylor Swift, who embodies friendship and equanimity, the push to help other women and to be relentlessly positive above all else. And Hillary Clinton, who embodies ambition and career success and is judged for the exact lack of the others' traits: not being womanly enough, not being warm enough, not being "enough" enough. Through all the praise and criticism of social and mainstream media, these women have come to represent the three distinct pillars of the feminist agenda—no overlap, no wiggle room, no gray area. You're either a Taylor or a Kim or a Hillary—you can't be all three, and they certainly can't either. (Or perhaps you're a Beyoncé, who arguably produces feminist art but whose personal politics we know next to nothing about).
"Maybe feminism is still too new and too threatening to be portrayed as anything but cartoonishly simple, painted with broad strokes in black and white. And how lame is that? That these archetypes—which Swift, Kardashian, and Clinton have been unwittingly cast in by our culture—leave no room for complexity or humanness? That we still have to fit a mold, even while breaking another one?
Taylor Swift has built an empire on being unapologetically girl-geared, which explains why she, more than her pop-star peers, has been elevated to the rank of feminist figurehead. Thanks to her squad and the anti-bullying messages in her music, she's been pigeonholed into a "virginal" role, one that has nothing to do with actual sex and everything to do with how she comes across: coy smiles, sweet makeup, sleepovers with her friends. She can get away with a lot, but, as she has noted, not with being seen with two men in the same week.
She's expected to be Female Empowerment: Squeaky-Clean Edition. If Swift represents girl gangs and that lean-in group mentality of pushing other women forward with your own success, then Kardashian is about empowerment of the self over all else.
Her brand of feminism is defined by a refusal to acknowledge or bend to the opinions of others: Kardashian posts nude selfies. Kardashian appropriates black culture. Kardashian oozes sex, demanding that you see her for her body just as much as her motherhood, if not more. She doesn't smile—she pouts, smolders, and poses. She walks with her impeccably dressed children in tow, looking you in the eye and daring you to challenge the validity of her unabashed love of her own body. Even her kids have a stare-down that would turn you to dust.
Then there's Hillary Clinton, who may not be the Original Feminist, but who, for a new generation, could be. She has stood proudly in those pantsuits for decades with a firm, calm demeanor that seems to say, "This is feminism, and it is work."
Clinton's feminism is tireless, in both appearance and effort. It isn't about fun or sex or self-empowerment so much as it is about the unyielding work of being a woman. Clinton's feminism isn't pretty. It doesn't cater to sexuality or safety in numbers. It is in many ways the most accurate indicator of what feminism feels like for many of us: a job. Of course, none of these figures is as one-dimensional as their designated "characters" imply. But we've begun to compartmentalize feminism into separate categories rather than allow it—and the people inside it—breathing room.
Want proof? See what happens every time one of these women reveals themselves to be multi-dimensional: We attack. When Kardashian had a baby, the world lost its mind over the provocative nude magazine cover that followed. Mothers can't be sex objects! When Swift was shown (by none other than Kardashian) to be a smart, shrewd businesswoman concerned about—gasp!—her image, the world threw a #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.
Watch literally any news network right now and see how Clinton's gender is relentlessly analyzed simply for existing. Her voice is too stern! She doesn't smile enough! Her demeanor is too masculine, but her body is too feminine and fragile—look, she just coughed!
There are, of course, countless other women who are redefining and challenging female roles in society today, women who are quite literally in the business of feminism: Laverne Cox, Roxane Gay, Ellen Page, Chimimanda Ngozi Adiche, and Malala Yousafzai all defy compartmentalization. But we don't give them a fraction of the attention that we give to Taylor Swift being seen in public with a man, or to Kim Kardashian taking a selfie with her clothes off.Read the rest here
