Several Killed In Re-newed Clashes Between Christians And Muslims In Jos.

Muslim and Christian groups say seven people are dead after another clash in central Nigeria, a region often violently divided by faith.

The fighting occurred Thursday in the Barkin Ladi area near the city of Jos, which has seen hundreds killed in recent years in disturbances.

Sani Mohammed, a Muslim community leader, said Thursday that they collected three dead bodies. Mark Lipdo who heads a Christian group said it counted four others.

The state government announced a 24-hour curfew in an area where authorities said at least seven others had died in another clash Monday.

This is the latest unrest in Nigeria, an oil-rich country of more than 160 million people split between a largely Muslim north and Christian south

Bizzare:Bizarre! Woman Develops Male Organ Five Months Into Pregnancy.

This is pathetic story of a woman who carried the burden of a male organ for close to three decades, but eventually found deliverance at the altar of God.

The sad story of Zuratu Mohammed, 48, from Auchi, Edo State, began when she married her itinerant husband, a policeman from Ondo State, against her father's wish.
After the marriage, Zuratu did everything like every other woman. She conceived very early after, but her joy was short-lived as she developed a male organ right inside her bladder five months into her pregnancy.

From then, the centre of her life caved in and she had to live a reclusive life, keeping the secret away from her husband, her family, inquisitive friends and curious neighbours.

At delivery, however, she could hide no more. Doctors and nurses discovered the strange and bewildering growth, but decided to close it up to avoid further complications.
Indeed, for Zaratu, the baby that should be a bundle of joy became a bundle of additional pains and burden to her sorrowful life.

'Carrying the male organ was one problem and sleeping on a bed with it became another problem as any time I closed my eyes, I would urinate without control,' she narrated with unshed tears.

Zaratu later decided to leave her matrimonial home. She became a perch on whoever was ready to give her favour.

At this crossroads, with nowhere to return to any more, she decided to go beg her disagreeing father, who insisted she must first return the unwanted baby to the father before she would be forgiven.

But God, unlike man, her problem ended at the Altar.

I Watched On Indian TV How A Man Slapped The Indian Minister Of Agriculture In Delhi.

A man slapped India’s agriculture minister in the face on Thursday, apparently to draw attention to rising food prices and corruption.

Sharad Pawar  The Minister of Agric was talking to reporters at a political function when the man attacked him.I watched the man shouting slogans about inflated food prices and grains.

Television footage showed the man brandishing a knife as he was dragged away by security officials and Pawar’s aides.

“Don’t you know why I hit him? The common man is distressed. Am I wrong?” he shouted as he was being taken away.

The man was  later detained by police. Pawar was not seriously hurt.

Such incidents have become increasingly common in India, where ministers and other officials have had shoes thrown at them and their offices ransacked by angry citizens.

The incidents have usually been over political decisions, corruption, or real or perceived injustices.

Wife Hacked Husband's Computer 'To Uncover Thousands Spent On Women He Met Through sugardaddy.com.

The estranged wife of a multimillionaire New York investor admitted she hacked into her husband’s private computer to prove he had spent hundreds of thousands in ‘allowances’ for young women.
Linda Simon used a private investigator to allegedly discover her husband David had been accessing the website sugardaddy.com to conduct extramarital affairs.
 Mrs Simon also claimed her husband gave $250,000 in ‘hush money’ to a woman he had a child with last year.
The couple are in the middle of a divorce at Westchester Family Court where Mrs Simon filed a protection order to have her husband kicked off their estate in Purchase, New York.
Mr Simon is believed to have been living at the Setai Hotel, New York since the end of July.

In August, Mr Simon, who is a frequent commentator for CNBC, sued his wife and her divorce lawyer Jason Advocate for $25 million at Manhattan Civil Court.
He alleged they had copied his hard drive which contained ‘trade secrets’ from his company Twin Capital Management and his personal financial information.

The lawsuit said he was the only person with the password and his company’s computer-monitoring service showed someone accessed his PC after he left home.
Responding to the claims for the first time, Mrs Simon admitted that she broke into the computer with the help of surveillance firm T&M Protection Resources.
She said she only did so to find out about her husband’s affairs and the money he lavished on young women.
According to the filing obtained by The New York Post, Mrs Simon stated: ‘Simon was a ”sugar daddy” to several young women through a Web site called sugardaddy.com and was spending thousands of dollars per week paying these women ”allowances” to be at his beck and call.’

Sugardaddy.com has more than 1.5 million members and aims to set up rich, older men with young attractive women, so called ‘sugar babies’.
Mr Simon’s hedge fund tried to have Mr Advocate removed as Mrs Simon’s lawyer as he was also been sued in the hacking case.
Mr Advocate was unavailable for comment when contacted by MailOnline today.
The motion to have him dismissed as Mrs Simon’s attorney was denied at Manhattan Civil Court yesterday by Judge Jeffrey Oing.

Man Commits Suicide Hours After Marrying High School Sweetheart.

A 28-year-old Bronx man who felt pressured by his high school sweetheart into marrying her, took his own life hours after the wedding.

Fernando Brazier left a suicide note at the front desk of the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, New York, where he married 26-year-old Trudian Hay the day before. His wedding ring was inside the envelope, according to Mr. Brazier’s sister Shawna Weeks.

“He said he couldn’t take anymore, and to take care of his kids,” she told the NY Post.

Police recovered Brazier’s body at the bottom of the Harlem River — where his suicide note indicated he would be.

Police say he jumped either from a building or the promenade behind it. No foul play is suspected.

Brazier and Hay met in high school. They had two daughters together. Brazier, whose parents were divorced, wanted a stable home for his daughters.

Family members said Brazier suffered from depression in the months leading up to the wedding.

“He would tell me that Trudy was a good person [but] he didn’t want to marry her; he was feeling like he was pressured,” Ms. Weeks told the NY Post.

Brazier was last seen leaving the Radisson Hotel around 9 a.m. on Sunday. Hotel staff saw him climb into a taxi after leaving the note. Family members said Brazier did not seem distressed during the wedding reception on Saturday.
