LUXURY BLOG:Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Acoustic Research Concept

One of the most technically flamboyant watches on display came from Swiss-based Audemars Piguet.

In the making for over eight years, the company drafted in an expert on stringed instruments and an academic from the Geneva conservatory who specializes in the psychology of perceived sound to create the Royal Oak Acoustic Research Concept . The achievement here is a timepiece that squeezes the pleasing mechanical chimes reminiscent of a Grandfather Clock into the miniature real-estate of a wristwatch.

"If they were alive and 25 years old today, they would be on the quest for the next Holy Grail," says effusive CEO François-Henry Bennahmias of the two men who founded the company 139 years ago. "No matter how great their latest watch would be, the day after they would already be on the next one. It has always been part of who we are.Only for the Big Boys.

China declared smoking Capital of the World.

There are more than 300 million smokers in China while about one in every three cigarettes smoked in the world is smoked in the country.

There are about 700 million people who are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke.

More than one million people die in China ever year due to tobacco while an estimated 100,000 people die as a result of second-hand smoke.

This means someone in China dies about every 30 seconds due to tobacco use which equates to about 3000 people every day.

WHO warns if China's widespread use of tobacco is not reduced, the number of deaths relating to tobacco each year will increase to three million by 2050 in China.

Meet Kenyan grandmother, 90, 'world's oldest primary school pupil'

A woman who has served her rural Kenyan village as a midwife for the past 65 years has returned to primary school along with six of her great-great-grandchildren.

Priscilla Sitienei, 90, is believed to be the oldest primary school pupil in the world. She enrolled at Leaders Vision Preparatory School in the Rift Valley village of Ndalat five years ago, with the intention of finally learning to read and write.

Affectionately known as "Gogo", which means grandmother in the local Kalenjin language, Mrs Sitienei grew up under British colonial masters and never had the chance to go to school.

She said she wants to be able to read the Bible, pass on her midwifery skills and write down the herbal remedies she uses in births.

She also hopes to inspire those younger than her – including her own classmates, aged between 10 and 14, some of whom she delivered as babies.Never too late to learn something.

Chinese families encircled by flyover after refusing to move.

Motorway builders encircled the homes of three Chinese families with a four-lane flyover after they refused to make way for the bulldozers.

Demolition teams in Guangzhou had planned to destroy the houses in order to connect the city’s road network to a recently opened tunnel under the Pearl River.

However, when some homeowners refused to accept compensation packages, the construction company decided to build around them.

A picture of the house completely surrounded by the spaghetti-junction-like flyover - proved popular on the Chinese internet this week.

Chen Tong, a prominent media executive, joked that authorities had given locals homes “with a 360-degrees view,
Others criticised the “greedy” homeowners for trying to force the government to pay them unreasonable amounts of compensation.
“Most Chinese people will follow the rules but some people will think they are special,” wrote one user of Weibo,very odd indeed.

Yang sold the baby boy to a couple in the same county for 42,000 yuan. She gave 35,000 yuan to Huang and kept 7,000 yuan for herself, the report said.

The case came to light in August after the boy's grandmother alerted police.

The grandmother said Huang had left the village to go to her parents' home after quarreling with her husband.

Boko Haram gunmen kill 15 in Nigeria’s northeast.

Boko Haram gunmen killed 15 people including a village leader near Maiduguri, the heartland of the Islamist group blamed for thousands of deaths in its six-year insurgency, security sources and residents said Saturday.
“The terrorists attacked Kambari village which is less than five kilometers to Maiduguri around 5:00 am. They killed 15 people and set the entire hamlet ablaze,” the security source who requested anonymity said of the attack on Friday.

“After fruitless efforts to enter Maiduguri through Konduga without success, the terrorists took a different route and attacked Kambari,” he said.
A woman from the village who simply gave her name as Kyallu said four of her children were among the dead.
“They killed four of my grown-up children when they attacked our village about the time for the morning prayers,” Kyallu, who is now in Maiduguri, told AFP.
“They shot my children dead without any prompting. I had to leave the village with my grandchildren because we have lost our houses,” she said. Maiduguri and its environs have been repeatedly attacked by the extremists who began their deadly insurgency to impose Sharia in the mainly-Muslim north in 2009.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Dies In Hospital

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has died in hospital after almost a decade in power and his half-brother Crown Prince Salman has succeeded to the throne.

A statement from Saudi Arabia's royal court confirmed the monarch - believed to be aged 90 or 91 - passed away at 1.00am local time.
Abdullah, who took power in 2005 following the death of King Fahd, is expected to be buried later today following afternoon prayers.

The late monarch's half-brother Moqren has been confirmed as the new Saudi Crown Prince.

Lack of Justice:Cairo court clears Mubarak brothers for release.

A Cairo court ordered the release of ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s two sons on Thursday, Reuters news agency reported.
While judicial sources said Jamal and Alaa Mubarak will not be freed until prosecutors review other cases they are involved in, lawyer Farid el-Deeb maintained that they are scheduled for release as there were not being tried in any other cases.
However, the Mubarak brothers do still face charges of stock market manipulation in a separate case, but in June 2013 a court ordered their release in that case.
Given that a court dropped other corruption charges against the sons in yet another case in November, it appeared there were no other cases preventing their release.
The Cairo Criminal Court said in a document explaining its ruling that the two men had already served the maximum permitted time of 18 months in pretrial detention and should therefore not be held pending their retrial in a corruption case.
The retrial was ordered by Egypt’s high court earlier this month. In May, his sons had been given four-year jail terms in the same case, while the 86-year-old former president received a three-year sentence.

Jonathan Wants Elections Postponed for 6 Months, INEC Says Elections Will Hold As Scheduled

Plans by President Goodluck Jonathan and his team to scuttle the general elections scheduled for February have come to light, with National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki openly calling for postponement of the elections.

Sambo spoke at a Chattam House lecture in London, offering the excuse that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not distributed Permanent Voters Cards across the country as was expected.
SaharaReporters had reported several months ago that President Goodluck Jonathan was reluctant to hold national elections because his popularity had dwindled considerably and he feared losing the election.

In the last few days, as the popularity of General Muhammadu Buhari for the presidency has grown, Mr. Jonathan has spent vast sums of money mobilizing people to call for the postponement of the elections.

Mali refuses to accept the body of Paris kosher deli terrorist Coulibaly.

Mali has refused to accept the body of terrorist Amedy Coulibaly in a sudden U-turn the day before he was expected to be buried in the soil of his birth country.

The gunman who murdered four hostages in a Kosher delicatessen as well as a policewoman was due to be buried in Bamako today; instead he remains in a fridge in the Forensic Institute in Paris.

Malian authorities have reportedly given no reason for the change of heart, which means Coulibaly is now likely to be buried somewhere in France.

The 32-year-old small-time dope dealer-cum-terrorist was gunned down by police as they raided the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in east Paris on January 9, the day police tracked down Charlie Hebdo massacre gunmen Chérif and Saïd Kouachi.

A day earlier he had shot dead a policewoman in the street and critically injured a street sweeper.Serves him right you say?

Nigerian Woman who desperately wanted a baby recieves sperm from a gay stranger.

Seyi and Robert are just like any other parents. They raise two young sons, go to weddings together and give each other parenting advice.

However, there's a catch; because Robert is gay. The pair, like a rising number of people, are co-parents.

Co-parents are two people who want children but may not have found The One or aren't able to have offspring themselves.

Indeed, Seyi Joseph was desperate to be a mother while she was young but hadn't found Mr Right so she decided to do things her own way.

Seyi, 38, who was born in London, but grew up in Bradford and Nigeria, made the decision to co-parent with Robert, who also wanted children,personally i think this is outrageous what do you think?

German hostage held by Boko Haram freed by Cameroun.

A German hostage kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria six months ago has been freed after a military raid led by Cameroonian forces and their allies, Cameroon said Wednesday.

“A special operation led by Cameroonian armed forces along with security services of friendly nations succeeded this night in freeing Nitsch Eberhard Robert, a German citizen abducted in Nigeria in July 2014 by the Boko Haram sect,” the presidency said in a statement.

A spokesman for the German foreign ministry confirmed the man's release, adding that he was now in Cameroon's capital Yaounde.

The announcement came as Nigeria and its neighbours were holding talks in Niamey on how to combat the militants, whose insurgency has left 13,000 dead and forced 1.5 million from their homes since 2009.The question is where was the Nigerian military.

AUTO BLOG:McLaren 650S Le Mans: Black magic

Here's a top fact to wave around the pub next time you want to make friends*: in 1995, five McLaren F1 GTR models finished the Le Mans 24 hour race, finishing 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th

A near-enough lockout of the front, then. To celebrate this special achievement, McLaren's Special Operations division – those chaps responsible for this – have tarted up a 650S and called it the Le Mans edition.
It was even designed in consultation with Peter Stevens who, if you want another fact to wave around the pub to your new found friends*, was the designer of the original McLaren F1.

So, these accoutrements will be applied to just 50 Coupe versions of the 650S, and include a roof-mounted snorkel air intake (like the '95 cars), fully integrated, channeling air into the unchanged 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine (641bhp, 500lb-ft, zero to 62mph in three seconds, 207mph top speed).

McLaren also promises this new air duct provides "enhanced aural drama within the cabin".
Then there are the front wings with new louvers to reduce pressure over the front wheels and increase down force. The wheels themselves are 19in front, 20in back, lightweight and fashioned after the ones decked out on the 1995 race cars, wearing  Pirelli P-Zeros and hiding carbon ceramic brakes as standard with orange calipers. Lovely.Looks cool, doesn't it? Prices stand at £244,500 (a standard 650S Coupe starts at £195k), with deliveries commencing later this year. And if you buy one, you'll be invited to a special 20th anniversary celebration at Le Mans courtesy of McLaren. Only 50 will be made, so better get a move on.

Nigerian new mother registered British couple as her baby's parents 'in bid to get free NHS care.

Adenubi

A Nigerian mother allowed a British couple to register as her new baby's parents in bid to get free NHS care and secure a UK passport for the child, a court heard.

Oluwaseun Adenubi, 30, also pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation after using the passport of her friend, Rita Ogunkunle, 32, to obtain free medical care after giving birth to Moses.

Ogunkunle and her boyfriend Michael Adebambo, 46, registered the baby as theirs at Bromley Civic Centre the following day and have now pleaded guilty to giving false information.  

Staff at Farnborough's Princess Royal University Hospital realised the medical records of Ogunkunle, who had received acne treatment, conflicted with the patient claiming to be her.After the baby was born on June 20 staff realised something was not right because Ogunkunle has severe scarring, which the baby's mother did not have and there were two different blood types for the same patient.'

Adenubi was granted a family visit visa which allowed her to stay in the UK for up to six months and claimed that she found Ogunkunle's passport on a bench, Croydon Crown Court heard.

But when Ogunkunle was arrested in August, she claimed Adenubi took her passport after moving into her spare room.Naija people i hail.

Asamoah Gyan doubtful for Nations Cup opener after contracting Malaria.

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan is a major doubt for Monday's African Nations Cup Group C opener against Senegal after being diagnosed with a mild case of malaria.

The former Sunderland forward spent Saturday night in hospital but was released on Sunday, the Ghana Football Association said in a statement.

“The Black Stars captain has been unable to train with the squad for the past two days because he is suffering from a mild bout of malaria,” the statement read.

“The illness was detected at an early stage and Gyan is responding well to treatment. Doctors will continue to monitor his progress ahead of the Black Stars' opening Group C match against Senegal in Mongomo.”

The loss of the experienced Gyan would be a major setback for new coach Avram Grant, who takes charge of his first competitive fixture with the team since being appointed in late November.

ASAP Mob founder ASAP Yams dead at 26 from Codeine overdose.

A$AP Mob founder A$AP Yams has died aged 26, according to reports from other members of the hip hop collective.
The official Twitter account for A$AP Mob posted the message RIP @ASAPYAMS today at 1.14pm and fellow member A$AP Rocky shared a snap of Yams on his Instagram with the touching caption: "R.I.P YAMS, I LOVE YOU BROTHER."

While the exact cause of A$AP Yams’ death is unknown, some suspect drug use may have been involved as he tweeted about Codeine before his death.

Nigerian Government drops fuel price.

As you may be aware, there has been a lot of volatility in the oil market in the past few months and due to this the importation prices of our petroleum products have been impacted.

Therefore, with the approval and directive of Mr. President and by virtue of Section 6 clause 1 of the Nigerian Petroleum Act, it is my responsibility as Minister of Petroleum Resources to hereby announce a reduction in the pump price of Petroleum Motor Spirit (Petrol) from the current Ninety Seven Naira (=N=97) per litre pump price down to Eighty Seven Naira (=N87=) per litre pump price, effective from twelve (12) midnight Sunday, 18th of January 2015.
