Robbers Invade Babcock University, Cart Away Millions
At least seven heavily armed robbers on Wednesday stormed some banks within Babcock University, Ogun State, carting away millions.
According to sources, the robbers who came with dynamite, rocket launchers and sub-machine guns went to both Oceanic (now Ecobank) and WEMA bank situated within the campus and shot sporadically to scare people away.
They formed groups and broke into the banking halls to carry out their operation simultaneously.
“It is an unbelievable experience, I don’t know how the boys came in. They carried big rocket launchers and dynamite. Before anyone knew what was happening, they swooped on us and asked all of us to lie down.
...One of them even slapped me because I wanted to look at his face. I cannot say the actual amount they carted away, but a rough estimate will be millions of naira,” says an Oceanic Bank Staff.

Singer, Erykah Badu gets Banned from Malaysia over Allah Tattoo
The 41 year old R&B singer and songwriter has been banned from performing in Malaysia after pictures began circulating of the singer with what appears to be temporary tattoos of the Arabic word for “Allah” on her body.
Malaysia Information Minister Rais Yatim said on Twitter that the concert was cancelled because it breached government guidelines on "religious sensitivities and cultural values" in the Muslim-majority country.
"The 'Allah' graphic on the singer's body will surely cause controversy among Muslims," said Mr Rais.
In separate comments quoted by state news agency Bernama, he warned the concert - scheduled for today - would "lead to bigger problems," including threatening "national security" and tarnishing the government's image.
The acclaimed soul artist had been scheduled to perform in the capital Kuala Lumpur.

As above Mr. Trump says

Last Photo - Whitney Houston in her Coffin!
A photograph apparently showing Whitney Houston in an open coffin has been published on the cover of the National Enquirer.
The
chilling picture shows the singer lying dead in her golden casket, clad
in a regal purple dress and wearing what looks like a diamond brooch
and earrings.
It is understood the photograph was taken inside the Whigham Funeral
Home in Newark, New Jersey, where her family attended a private wake
last Friday (local time) on the eve of her funeral.
I find it particularly disturbing, people's last photo memory of her shouldn't be lying in a coffin... Right or Wrong?

Don’t Sentence me to Life, Abdulmutallab Pleads
Abdulmutallab, 25, pleaded guilty in a Federal Court

South Africa Honours Nelson Mandela with Face on Bank Notes
South Africa launched a new line of bank notes on Saturday bearing the image of its first democratically elected president Nelson Mandela on the 22nd anniversary of his release from prison.
The notes bear the 93-year-old
former president's image circa 1990, the year he was freed from prison
in a moment that came to symbolise the fall of apartheid and the rise of
a new, democratic South Africa.
They replace a design featuring
the "big five" safari animals -- Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion
and rhino -- introduced in 1992, two years before Mandela was elected
the country's first black president.
All five notes, 10, 20, 50, 100
and 200 rand will now bear
Mandela's face on the front.
