Photos: Police parade dogs that attacked 4-year-old boy in Lagos

Meet the dogs that viciously attacked 4 year old Omonigho Abraham inside his compound in the Igando area of Lagos state on September 25th (read story here).

The Lagos State Police Command paraded the two German shepherd dogs yesterday at its headquarters in Ikeja, Punch reports. According to the police, the dogs were paraded "so that the public would be convinced that they were still in police custody, and had not been released as was being rumoured." Really? Continue...


Speaking about it, the Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, said;
"We have brought the dogs out so that the public would know that they are still in police custody. They have been examined and they show no negative trait. It is only the court that will decide what happens to them. The police cannot decide to kill the dogs.”
Am I the only one who finds this weird? Anyway, the little victim, Omo, had asked that the dogs be killed but the police say it's up to the courts. Meanwhile the owner of the dogs, Stanley Wesley, was arrested and arraigned in court for negligence but has since been granted bail.

Gunmen open fire inside parliament building in Ottawa, Canada

Multiple gunmen stormed the Canadian Parliament complex and the National War Memorial in Ottawa around 10am this morning Wednesday October 22nd and started shooting at people. One soldier was killed (at the Canadian war memorial). According to eye witnesses, a gunman came down from a car, walked up to the soldier and shot him dead. One of the shooters was later killed by police.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper had to be evacuated from the government building, which is currently on lock down. Schools and the US embassy are also on lock down in Ottawa. No one/group has claimed responsibility for what's going on there right now. Read the full story from CNN after the cut...


From CNN
Wednesday morning's gunfire in the main Canadian Parliament building started in the foyer, and a second round of shooting happened about a minute later in a hallway or near the entrance to the Parliament's library, Ottawa journalist Josh Wingrove told CNN.
He said several officers had weapons drawn, and most of the dozens of shots that he heard appeared to have been fired by officers at the gunman.
When the shooting ended, a person was lying motionless on the ground near the library entrance, Wingrove said.
There were "numerous gunmen" Wednesday morning at the Canada War Memorial shooting, said Marc Soucy of the Ottawa Police Service. Authorities are working to figure out if there were two or three gunmen, he said. Only one person was shot, Soucy said.
There were "several shooting incidents in downtown Ottawa" on Wednesday morning, police said on Twitter. "Incidents occurred at National War Memorial, near the Rideau Centre and Parliament Hill." All Ottawa police buildings remain on lockdown and are closed to the public, police also said on Twitter.
There were two soldiers standing guard at the war memorial in Ottawa near Parliament, and a gunman shot one of them, a witness told CNN on Wednesday. Peter Henderson, a journalist, said other soldiers doing drills nearby ran to help the fallen soldier. Henderson said he knew the person shot was a soldier because of the ceremonial uniform the soldier was wearing.

"You're done in this town" Tyrese threatens comedian who accused him of gay sex

Let me give you the gist from the beginning so you understand what's going on. Relatively unknown comedian Spanky Hayes (pictured right) went on radio some days ago to claim that Tyrese Gibson went the extra mile (sucking d***) to secure the lead role in Baby Boy...

Spanky told his listeners,
"I had an audition it was 30 stars there. There were so many stars there that I was like, I don't f*ckin belong here. Three weeks later, it was me and another person - now we're the best two people that's there. He gets up he reads, I'm thinking 'F*ck, I'm not gonna get his.' Then I get up and I read, and I shock myself."
"We both sit down and the [producer] goes, 'I love both of you guys, both of you are talented. But which one of you guys is gonna suck my c*ck."
Please continue, it gets more interesting...

Don't Go Grey, Wait for the Day! The New iPhones are officially on their way to Nigeria

If you're itching to get your hands on the latest iPhone from Apple, the good news is that they'll be landing in Nigeria any day now.


That means you don't need to go to the trouble of asking your cousin in America to get you an iPhone and bring it over when he visits...



Or even worse, buying an iPhone that may not even really be an iPhone - and at an inflated price too - from that dubious "friend of a friend" who lives around the corner. Why take the risk?

Grey imports are a lot more trouble than they're worth. You never know whether you'll be getting the genuine article, and you'll have nowhere to turn to if there are any problems.

But if you wait just a little while longer - and remember, patience is a virtue - you'll be able to buy your new iPhone from iStore, an official, authorised reseller of Apple products.

You'll be 100% sure that your iPhone is the real deal, and the best news is that you're guaranteed to get the lowest launch price and a full manufacturer's warranty too.

The official release date of the new iPhones will be announced soon.

Masterpieces of engineering and design, the new iPhones are thinner than ever, with larger screens for extra clarity and ease of use.

The iPhone 6 is 4.7 inches, and the iPhone 6 Plus is 5.5 inches. Both models will be available in Silver, Space Grey and Gold, and 16gb, 64gb, and 128gb variants.

That means more choice, more power, and more iPhone for your money.

Go to www.myistore.com.ngto register now, and you could soon be holding the iPhone of your dreams in your hands. Whichever one you choose, it's guaranteed to be worth the wait!

Comedian Hannibal Burruss calls Bill Cosby a rapist...many times!

I love Bill Cosby and I don't like it when people disrespect him. And that was exactly what comedian Hannibal Burruss did during his stand up comedy routine in Philadelphia some days ago. The Eric Andre Show co-host, refered to Bill Cosby as a rapist. What he told the crowd below.
"Bill Cosby has the f–ing smuggest old black man public persona that I hate. ‘Pull your pants up, black people. I was on TV in the '80s. I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom.’ 
"Yeah, but you raped women, Bill Cosby. So, it brings you down a couple notches….I don't curse on stage. But yeah, you're a rapist.”
“I want to just at least make it weird for you to watch ‘Cosby Show' reruns. If you don't know about it, trust me. When you leave here, Google ‘Bill Cosby rape.’ That shit has more results than Hannibal Buress.”
Not nice Hannibal. Of course he's gotten a lot of backlash for the comments but he's yet to apologize.

"The first scan said I had twins but along the way, one did not grow. I had another scan it was still a boy, then another it was still a boy.

Someone even wanted to give me a girl in the dream but I rejected it. I didn't buy baby things until I was seven months. Even at that I bought Unisex things" she said
