28 Year Old Man Bags 2 Life Sentences For Causing Death Of His 3 Month Old Baby While Giving Her ORAL SEX.

A 28 year old father Steven Deuman Jr has been sentenced to 2 life terms in prison for causing the death of his 3 months old daughter while he was oral raping her. In August 2011, Deuman’s infant daughter, Evelynne Deuman, was found dead with a condom in her mouth. Deuman said he had stepped outside to smoke only to return and find their daughter on the floor bleeding from the nose, unconscious and not breathing with the discarded condom in her mouth.

Instead of calling 911 for help, he called the girl’s mother, Natasha Maitland, and told her their baby wasn’t breathing. A call to 911 was not made until after Maitland drove back home from work. Instead of waiting for an ambulance, they attempted to drive to the hospital, but were met by responding paramedics who tried to revive Evelynne before rushing her to the hospital.
But, according to prosecutors, Evelynne had been dead for far too long.

It wasn’t until later that Deuman allegedly whispered to Maitland that he had pulled the used condom out of their daughter’s mouth. Subsequent tests showed the DNA on the outside of the condom belonged to the baby and on the inside belonged to Deuman.

The FBI alleged Deuman killed the girl during a penetration, or attempted penetration of aggravated sexual abuse and an autopsy showed no evidence that the girl fell but determined that she died of asphyxiation.

Kanye West Slams His MC Ranking

Kanye West is furious he's only made number seven on a best MCs list, blaming the placement on people who dislike "Kanye in a kilt". Every year MTV releases its Hottest MCs in the Game rundown, which sees Kanye sitting behind Big Sean at number six and Drake at five this year. The top four rappers are yet to be released, although Kanye has already taken issue with the rundown. He believes the people who compiled the list don't know enough about the hip-hop game. He is adamant they didn't concentrate on his music, instead took other areas of his life into account. The star believes his image overhaul from preppy to high fashion has annoyed some people. "Yeah, number seven bothers me. I think that [Lil] Wayne is the number one rapper in the world," he told radio station Hot 97. "What happens is with them, with these types of judges and people who review it, when you come in, I had like the pink polo and the backpack and I'm checkin' all the boxes of that Tribe Called Quest era... so they wanna champion it. They don't like Givenchy Kanye. They don't like Kanye in a kilt. They don't like Kanye in a relationship." The star believes Jay-Z and Eminem are two of the greatest rappers the world has ever seen, so should make it to the top of the list. Kanye would have put himself in the top five and blames his placement on the compilation record Cruel Summer. The album featured work by artists on the GOOD Music record label and wasn't a hit with critics, although it did spawn several big singles such as Clique. The rapper added that if he'd been helming the rundown he would have looked at individual verses created by hip-hop stars. Those with clever lyrics would have triumphed, with Kanye pointing out how proud he is of his track Cold. He hit the headlines when the song leaked as it contains a reference to Kris Humphries, the basketball player married to Kanye's girlfriend Kim Kardashian for 72 days in 2011. Kris plays for the Brooklyn Nets, the team owned by Kanye's friend Jay-Z. "I don't think [the list is] them really going bar for bar. I said, 'Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team,' [in my track.] Ain't no bar, ain't no bar in the entire past 12 months that's hotter than that bar. That's one bar! I come from this battle rap," he said.  Shared via the DStv.com iPad app.

Obama's Brother Loses Governorship Election In Kenya..

Malik Obama, the 54-year-old half-brother of U.S. President, Barack Obama, failed miserably in his effort to get elected as a governor in Western Kenya as results on Friday showed that he received just 1 per cent of the votes cast in his constituency.

He ran as an independent, garnered just 694 votes in a race with over 55,000 ballots cast in Siaya County. The winner was William Odhiambo Oduol, with 56 per cent of the vote.

The two Obamas share the same father but have different mothers. Malik ran on a campaign of “change,’’ echoing his younger brother’s slogans of hope and change in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

Kenyatta Wins Kenya Presidential Election.

Kenya’s Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta appears to have won the presidential election by the tightest of margins, provisional results indicate.

After all the votes were counted, he had polled 50.03% of the vote, 4,109 votes over the threshold required for outright victory.

But the official result will not come until 11:00 on Saturday (08:00 GMT).

Rival candidate Raila Odinga is likely to file a legal challenge if he loses.

As at 02:41am (Kenyan time) Official Presidential Results reveal: Uhuru 6,173,433; Raila 5,340,546 291 constituencies.

Kenyatta won the Kenyan general election, 2013 with 50.03% of the vote avoiding a run-off against Raila Odinga.

He is the Member of Parliament for Gatundu South Constituency and former Chairman of Kenya African National Union (KANU), which was a part of the Party of National Unity (PNU).

Kenyatta is the son of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first president (1964–1978). His name, Uhuru, is Swahili for “freedom”.

Nelson Mandela Hospitalised For Medical Check ups.

Global peace icon and former statesman Nelson Mandela was hospitalised Saturday for a "scheduled medical check-up", the presidency said, months after he underwent treatment for lung infection and gallstones.

"Former president Nelson Mandela was admitted to hospital in Pretoria this afternoon, 9 March 2013, for a scheduled medical checkup to manage the existing conditions in line with his age," said presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj in a statement.

"Doctors are conducting tests and have thus far indicated that there is no cause for any alarm," he added.

The 94-year-old spent 18 days in hospital in December, when he received treatment for a recurrent lung infection and had surgery to extract gallstones.

He was discharged the day after Christmas and was last known to be convalescing under high care at his home in Johannesburg.

"We appeal for privacy both for the doctors to be able to attend to their patient and for Madiba and his family," said Maharaj, using the Nobel Peace laureate's clan name.

Mandela served one term as South Africa's first black president after winning historic all-race elections in 1994.

Having spent 27 years in prison for opposing apartheid, he is revered as the symbol of the country's peaceful shift into democracy after decades of racist white minority rule.

Mandela the man has grown increasingly frail in recent years, choosing to retire to his home village in the rural Eastern Cape.

In January 2011 he set the nation at edge when he was hospitalised for two nights for an acute respiratory infection.

Mercy Johnson Advicing Young Ladies On Morality And Decency. Ottio ! ! !.

So many people who came across this statement said by the sultry actress, Mercy Johnson, were so surprised for such an advice coming from the stable of the highly controversial Mercy Johnson.

Read this first, “some ladies have lost their thinking caps. Some found it but unable to use it. Must you clock 35 before you stop partying here and there? You already know all eateries/ hotels in town! You even know the tastes of their various ice-creams, pepper-soups, shawamas, etc. And you can tell the prices of their beers and wines offhand. Funny, you're singing “No man is responsible.” Mercy was quoted to have asked rhetorically.

Amazingly, the mother of one, before now, was involved in so many relationships, many of these were reported, though, no one, then, could really pin her to a particular date, however, it's an open secret that, the mother of one who is 'happily married' to Prince has now turned a counseling directress.

“Which responsible man drinks to stupour and clubs every weekend? Which responsible man samples you and your slutty friends randomly? Which responsible man sags with dog's chains on his neck and tattoos on his body? Ask yourself; “Is the guy I'm currently dating my dream man?” Mercy was said to have also stated.

This is the letter to all her female friends and fans;

Dear sisters,
If you are living your life as above, my dear, you are living a life of mirage. Be real! Humble yourself and so you will be raised.

The so called "responsible men" you are searching for are not in the clubs and hotels, you won't find them at the weekly birthday 'bashes', weekend beach crashing or pool-side jamborees loitering around women of easy virtues, drunkards and men of questionable characters.

They are busy; in the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges studying hard for the life after school, and in the offices, workshops, and on business trips striving hard to make life better for their families and better than they've met it.
Use that brain Sweet Sisters! It's for thinking. - Mercy Johnson.

Blast Rocks Maiduguri After President's Visit.

Seven loud explosions shook Nigeria's northeastern city of Maiduguri on Friday, witnesses said, hours after President Goodluck Jonathan ended a trip there to try to galvanize support for his battle against Islamist insurgents.

Witnesses said the explosions happened within minutes of each other, suggesting the kind of coordinated strike that used to be the hallmark of Islamist sect Boko Haram, before a military campaign weakened them. They remain the main security headache to Africa's top energy producer.

President Jonathan spent the night in Maiduguri, the epicenter of the insurgency, which seeks to carve an Islamist state out of religiously mixed Nigeria. It was his first trip to the troubled northeast since becoming president.

During it, he poured cold water on the idea of an amnesty for Islamist fighters and urged the region's tribal elders to do more to help fight the insurgents.

The blasts in the Jajeri ward of the city occurred about five hours after he left in the afternoon, witnesses said.

"I heard seven explosions successively. They were huge, but I have no way of knowing whether the explosions hurt anybody," Jajeri resident Usman Abubakar told Reuters by telephone.

There was no word on casualties and a security forces spokesman for the northeast was not immediately available for comment.

Earlier in the day Jonathan gave a speech in which he called on tribal elders to wheedle out the Islamists in their midst. Traditional leaders accuse the security forces of being too heavy handed and indiscriminate, killing dozens of civilians.

"Instead of condemning the operations of the JTF (military and police joint task force) we should work to fight the insurgency," Jonathan said, replying to the criticism.

"Unless the Elders of Borno condemn and fight Boko Haram the people of the state shall continue to suffer from their attacks," he added.

Jonathan said on Thursday he was not ready to offer an amnesty to members of Boko Haram, brushing aside a proposal from the country's most senior Muslim spiritual leader, the Sultan of Sokoto.

Arsenal Manager ,Arsene Wenger Says The Super Eagles Have Potentials Of Becoming A Major Force In International Football .

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has joined the growing number of Super Eagles admirers declaring that the team could become a major force in international football over the coming years.

A keen follower of Nigerian football who attends Super Eagles games whenever the team plays in England, Mr Wenger said that the team which just won the Nations Cup has all the ingredients needed to build a great side. He added that Nigeria’s victory in South Africa showed that a team could win trophies while playing beautiful football.

Mr Wenger said: “To sum it up best you would say this African Nations Cup is a triumph for West Africa and the downfall of North Africa. Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia all went out in the first round, unusually and Egypt wasn’t there at all.

“Also we saw a big disappointment for Cote d’Ivoire, who was the big favourite to win and the triumph of Nigeria. The day Cote d’Ivoire went out, you would say Nigeria or Ghana would win it.”

A man with an eye for talent, it was Wenger who brought Nigeria's Nwankwo Kanu to England when he signed him for Arsenal in 1999. Mr Wenger said he was happy Nigeria won because it is a country with a  huge football passion that has suffered for so long with disorganised football.

Mr Wenger added: “Their manager, Stephen Keshi, who played in France and I know, did a remarkable job. He brought in some young players, who did really well.

“Obi Mikel was their guide and they played the most attractive football. They played with three strikers and Victor Moses and Emenike did well too.”

Wenger praised Keshi for deploying some home-based players in his games, saying that it would ensure that the foreign-based players would now take the national team seriously. He added that usually, European-based players are given red carpet treatment when they come to play for their African countries at the expense of the local players.

He confessed that  he watched most of the games during the Nations Cup on television, although he sent some scouts to monitor some of the games. Arsenal have traditionally been a team that scouts heavily in Africa and over the years has signed several big names including Kanu, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue, Gervinho, Lauren Etame, Marouane Chamakh and Emmanuel Adebayor.
