Danger Of Internet! Lady Get Beheaded On First Date With Guy She Met Online [Photos]

A 22-year-old Russian woman identified as Kristina Medvedeva, a shop assistant in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg, who was seeking love on the internet, and described her relationship status as 'actively searching' on social media, has been discovered beheaded on her first date with a new man she met online.

According to Dailymail UK, the deceased's badly mutilated body was found on the shore of a lake close to a residential area called Michurinsky on the outskirts of Ekaterinburg, Russia's fourth city.

The police disclosed that her head was almost totally severed, just three days after she was last seen in real life and online, but police have not said if they have been able to track the man she was with from her internet history.

Reports reveals that the deceased who shared a flat with a girlfriend, after moving from her provincial hometown, Talitsa in search of love and a new life, had gone on a first date with a stranger on 24th July, the day she was murdered, as there was not yet any evidence that she had been r*ped.

Bombshell! You Won't Believe What Arsene Wenger Said About Drogba

Arsene Wenger

Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger has paid a glowing tribute to his one-time nemesis, Didier Drogba saying, he is such a prolific forward.
The Former Chelsea striker scored on the stroke of half-time to equalise for the All Stars but it was not enough as Chuba Akpom made it2-1 late in the game to seal an Arsenal victory on Thursday.

The goal was Drogba's 16th in as many appearances against Arsenal, having tormented Arsene Wenger's side throughout his time at Stamford Bridge.

"He has always harmed us, and he continues. He's a winner and I think that he'll be like that until the end of his life,"  Wenger said about the38-year-old.

"At half-time, I was thinking 'He's still hauntingus, even in the United States!' Drogba is a typicalpoacher of a goal. He can do that in the box."When I see him in the box and fighting withyoung defenders I always think that now there is
danger there because you know he will get the
upper hand and score you a goal and that's what
he did."

Ex- Ivorian international, Didier Drogba insists it is not just luck that he continues to plague Arsenal after finding the netagainst the Premier League giants for the MLS All-Stars.
 The Former Chelsea striker scored on the stroke of half-time to equalise for the All Stars but it was not enough as Chuba Akpom made it2-1 late in the game to seal an Arsenal victory on Thursday.

The goal was Drogba's 16th in as many appearances against Arsenal, having tormented Arsene Wenger's sidethroughout his time at Stamford Bridge.

When Asked if he feels fortunate to constantly find thenetagainst Arsenal, Drogba said: "I don't know, Idon't know, I want to say that I'm lucky but when you score 16 goals against them I don't think it's luck no more."

However, Drogba was left disappointed with theresult - despite it being only a friendly fixture.
 "I want to help my team to win games. And Ialways say that the goal that I score and then welose, for me that doesn't count," the MontrealImpact striker said."For me it's for fun because I scored against [former Chelsea, now Arsenal goalkeeper] Petr[Cech], but the result matters more than my goalor my own performance.

It's a bit disappointing to have lost this game in the last minute.
"I hate losing. So for fun, I will have fun withPetr because I scored. But he already killed meand said 'This time I give you the goal'."But apart from that, no, the result I'm not happy with."Drogba tested former Chelsea team-mate Cech early on and had another shot blocked before eventually scoring in the opening period at the Avaya Stadium in San Jose.

How Husband Cut Off Wife's Genital, You Won't Believe His Reasons

The woman in a hospital bed.

A woman is critically ill in northern Afghanistan after her husband nearly beat her to death, and cut part of her genitals, family members say.
The incident happened in the Ashkamish district of Takhar province.
The victim, who is in her 20s, told the BBC that she did not know the reason for the attack.
Although such mutilation is rare in Afghanistan, reports of violence against women are increasing.
The woman is now in hospital in Kunduz.
Her brother confirmed the nature of the injuries to the BBC, saying his aunt had seen the results of the mutilation.
A doctor at the clinic said the victim was six months pregnant, but lost the baby as a result of the violence.
'Shaved parts of her head'

The woman says her husband attacked her without any reason with a big wooden stick, cut her hair with scissor and shaved parts of her head.
She says his mother and and her sister-in-law helped her husband to tie her up with rope and beat her from head to toe.
The Takhar provincial government's women's department provided photos of the victim, who appeared badly bruised, to the BBC.
The police commander of Takhar, Noor Muhammad Hakimi, said: "The accused is on the run." He also confirmed that a case had been opened against three people, including the husband.
Previous cases of mutilation included two incidents in which husbands cut off their wives' noses.

In a second case of gender violence in less than 24 hours, a 20-year-old was reportedly shot dead by members of her husband's family in northern Faryab province.
The head of the provincial human rights commission told the BBC that the young woman's in-laws had accused her of having an affair.
Sayed Hafizullah Fitra said the victim had initially been handed over to local elders and clerics.
But one tribal elder told BBC Afghan that he could not stop others handing the woman over to her in-laws despite his warnings she might be killed.
He also said the victim had been pregnant.
The Faryab police spokesman, Karim Yourush, said the woman's father-in-law had disappeared.
The killing happened in an area where the Afghan government has very limited control. The husband is reported to be in Iran.
Many people in Afghanistan say education and empowerment are key to reducing the high incidence of violence against women.
A landmark Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women came into effect in 2009, but most evidence shows that it remains largely unimplemented and unenforced.

Liverpool Manager Says No Player Is Worth £100M, Explains His Transfer Strategy

Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp says no player is worth £100m, saying paying £100 million for one player is the wrong approach.

The former Dortmund Manager has added the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum to his squad, but those transfers pale in comparison to the reported £100m fee Manchester United are set to pay for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

However, Klopp said he had no interest in doing the same, worried about the risks of paying so much for one player.

"If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney," he said.

"The day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together.

"That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful.

"Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money.

"I don't know exactly how much money we could spend because nobody has told me, 'No, you can't do this'.

"If I spend money, it is because I am trying to build a team, a real team. Barcelona did it. You can win championships, you can win titles, but there is a manner in which you want it."

LADIES! No Man Says These To A Lady He Loves

A man acts differently when he is in love with his wife. Everything changes: what he thinks about, how he spends his time and what he says. His thoughts, actions, desires and words all revolve around building up the woman he loves.

 

A husband like this never says the following eight things to his wife. If he does, then he doesn’t truly love his girl.

 

1. “I just can’t deal with all of this right now.”

 

No relationship is perfect, but a man who refuses to deal with the struggles of marriage (no matter how big or small they may be) isn’t fully committed. Husbands who use this phrase are really implying that they’re looking for an escape – an easier way out – because they aren’t willing to fight and sacrifice for the woman who they supposedly love.

 

2. “You would be more attractive if you … ”

 

Women don’t exist to please men, and no man who truly loves his wife would ever say something like this to her. Even if his intentions are good, telling a woman to do her hair like this, wear this outfit, lose this much weight and so on destroys her soul and crushes her self-esteem like nothing else. Sure, a good husband can respectfully give his honest opinion when his wife asks what he thinks about her appearance. But he should never attack her physicality or objectify her.

 

3. “You aren’t enough for me. I deserve better.”

 

No woman will ever be good enough for the husband who says this. And to any wife who ever hears this toxic phrase leave her husband’s lips, YOU DESERVE BETTER. A man who says this isn’t in love and has no concept whatsoever of what love is. True love isn’t always looking for the next best thing; it’s loving the person you chose to be with and helping them reach their fullest potential.

 

4. “You need to change.”

 

It’s normal for both women and men to want to be their best selves for their partners. But it is grotesquely wrong to think a woman has to transform herself into a different person to please her husband. This goes against everything a marriage is. If a man can’t love his wife for whom she is, then he’ll never be satisfied with her when and if she does change.

 

5. “You just don’t get me anymore.”

 

A husband who says this is far from feeling true love for his wife. Instead, he feels disconnected from her. If he did love her, then he would try to better explain his feelings instead of just assuming she doesn’t care or understand.

 

6. “Why can’t you be more like her?”

 

Any husband who says this has clearly fallen out of love. This hurtful question shows he is paying more attention to other women than he is his wife.

 

And it only gets worse. Not only is he paying more attention to other women, but he’s also fantasizing about them to some degree. He does this by wishing his wife would emulate certain qualities he finds appealing in other women. Though this kind of behavior isn’t physical infidelity, it can be just as bad and lead to just as serious of a heartbreak.

 

7. “You’re overreacting.”

 

The twin and equally hurtful sister of this comment is, “You’re being overly sensitive.”

 

If a man truly loves his wife, then what’s a big deal to her will be a big deal to him. He won’t criticize, diminish or brush off the way she feels or reacts to something just because he feels differently about it. Instead, he will try to understand her perspective and do what he can to help relieve any stress or anxiety she feels.

 

8. “You’re holding me back.”

 

This is a poisonous phrase a man truly in love would never say to his wife. If he loves her, then he couldn’t imagine going forward in life without her. He would also recognize how she helps him be better and how only he holds himself back by choosing to not love her.

 

The problem with this eighth statement and the others in this article is that they are all saturated with selfishness. Marriage takes two people. A husband who says these things to his wife thinks only of his own happiness instead of the joint happiness that only pure and genuine love can bring.

Between Reuben Abati And Okey Ndibe: The Paradox Of The Guardian Newspapers [A MUST READ]

Okey Ndibe

Sometime in April, Don Imus a presenter with the American MNSBC was fired for calling female African American basketball players "nappy headed ho's." On the face of it, the statement by Don Imus could be taken as a joke, as it did not implicitly imply any racist attack. Besides Don Imus himself had apologized repeatedly for his statement, yet in spite of his apologies, there was outrage across America and Don Imus was discredited and fired. The strict non tolerance of racism and the firing of Don Imus happened because America is a sane society genuinely interested in racial harmony and nation building for the common good of all their citizens.

Contrast that with Nigeria's Reuben Abati, chairman of the Guardian editorial board who has abused his position to the extent that he engages in hate mongering, revisionisms, outright abuses and insults against other ethnic groups without so far incurring any sanctions, because obviously Nigeria is an "animal farm" where anything goes and all kinds of madness are tolerated.

Reuben Abati

However the paradox became glaring when a few months ago Mr Okey Ndibe a focused and arguably one of the best commentators in the Nigerian press was dropped by the Guardian newspapers for being too outspoken about the social ills in Nigeria.

 It naturally came as a shock to many, that the Guardian newspapers which could tolerate a crude, petty and vile hate monger such as Reuben Abati could drop Okey Ndibe for consistently speaking out against the political buccaneers that has run the nation aground. More so when the Guardian advertises itself as a newspaper committed to equality, social justice, and without any affiliation to ethnic, religious or political interests.

A little peep into an archive of articles written by both Okey Ndibe and Reuben Abati, interestingly revealed that while Okey Ndibe concentrated consistently on a struggle for the common good devoid of any ethnic toga, Reuben Abati often veered of into pedestrian ethnic battles where he routinely engages in ethnic slurs and abuses against the ethnic groups he chose to hate. The guardian newspaper acted strangely in their decisions and risks damaging their reputation which has been contradicted by their recent actions in the Okey Ndibe affair.

If any body needed to be dropped, that person should have been Reuben Abati whose brand of crude and biased hate mongering journalism runs contrary to the advertised ideals of the Guardian newspapers. Indeed in any sane clime, the likes of Reuben Abati who largely represent the fault lines that has held Nigeria down would have long been disgraced, banned from journalism and even jailed for inciting hatred.
As we can see from the Don Imus example, there is no nation worth its salt that can tolerate a journalist whose primitive ideas and methods promotes divisions and hatred among ethnic and or racial groups, more so in a deeply fractured nation such as ours desperately in need of nation building.

Anybody who has any doubt about the extent of Reuben Abati's hate mongering should endeavour to read his December 2001 "Obasanjo secession and the secessionists" amongst others. It is an article packed with the crudest form and display of both hatred and revisionisms, a gory celebration of the 1966 pogrom that saw to the most bestial and barbaric acts of the slaughter of almost 50,000 innocent men, women and children.

He even in his own words went as far as urging the federal government to "cut off some heads" if the so called secessionists continued their agitation and proposed another round of "abandoned property" in his long tirade comparable to the 2nd world war German hate propaganda against the Jews, and the hate propaganda in Rwanda that in both cases led to genocide. This hate article was unbelievably written by someone with a respectable position no less than an editor and surprisingly put in the public space by a newspaper as respected as the Guardian.

His only grouse for writing such a despicable article was because a group was protesting the injustices in Nigeria and exercising their fundamental rights and freedoms by asking for separation from Nigeria. Under normal circumstances anybody or group has the right to agitate for secession if they are not being fairly treated, and even in law it is not a criminal offence to do so.

The Yoruba whose group Reuben Abati belongs to agitated for secession even if half heartedly during the June 12 imbroglio, the Niger-Delta is currently engaged in a quasi-insurgency for the same reasons. Instead of objectively examining the underlying causes of such separatist movements, Mr Abati choose to take advantage of the prevailing chaos in our jungle nation and play the devils advocate.

His crudely abusive and hate mongering articles have remained consistent. In a recent article titled "South-South presidency" he spoke of how the Ibos have not been forgiven for the civil- war. The question now is: Is it the Ibos who lost over 2 million mostly women and children in a genocidal war and who endured the many crimes, rapes and massacres committed by federal troops in a war which we now know was not in the least for unity that should forgive or be forgiven?
Does he know that the so called counter coup (araba) which also organised the large scale massacre of innocent civilians which eventually provoked the war was initially planned as a secession? Is he aware of Yakubu Gowon's first speech which in line with the planned Northern secession had initially proclaimed that "there is no basis for Nigerian unity?" Is he aware that Dim Emeka Ojukwu had proposed that Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe who was the most senior officer at that time take over as head of state but the North declined to take orders from him because he is a Southerner?
What if the North had gone ahead and seceded as originally planned before they realised they could dominate power (born to rule) and control the oil resources which they have been doing to date? Haven't all Nigerians from East, West and North been vanquished by the prevailing corruption, mediocrity, domination, dysfunctional institutions and mass poverty which is part of the heritage of the post-war era unitary, over concentration of power in the centre?

The answers to these questions if he dares to answer them should prove to Mr Reuben Abati that he should not have dared involve himself in a judgemental fashion in a war that was instigated by a complex web of circumstances. However it should not be lost on anyone that the likes of Reuben Abati is typically the problem with Nigeria.
People with his mindset in the corridors of power have ensured that Nigeria remains stuck in the past. That Nigeria as a nation has refused to move-on when other post-conflict nations like Vietnam, South Africa, etc have reconciled and moved on for the common good of their people is thanks to characters like Mr Abati. The refusal to restructure, injustices, ethnic domination, frequent bloody riots, lack of reconciliation, ethnic hatred, exploitation, marginalization which has become an integral part of Nigerian life is thanks to the Reuben Abati's in the corridors of Power.

Mr Abati presents a perfect mirror and image of the self hating African and the insensitive notorious ethnic cabal that has engendered Nigeria's and Africa's progressive decline in all facets of life. Until such characters are permanently silenced, Nigeria and indeed Africa can neither know peace nor progress, and would only have succeeded in temporarily postponing the evil day.
 It is unfortunate that civil- society human rights groups, National union of Journalists and Nigerians in general, probably because of the existential shackles of poverty and Nigerian factor have remained silent in the face of Reuben Abati's "Goebellic" unprovoked ethnic hate sermons.Those who think Nigeria can make any meaningful progress under such an unrestricted climate of ethnic hatred, disharmony,injustices, domination etc engendered by the likes of Abati and his co.travellers are living in a fools paradise. The evil day has only been postponed and we are temporarily enmeshed in an eerie peace of the grave yard.

The time has come for the Guardian newspapers, civil society, and National union of Journalists to wake up to their responsibilities. Reuben Abati is guilty of inciting ethnic hatred capable of setting the nation on fire and should be fired by the Guardian and banned by the National Union of Journalists. The Guardian surprisingly advertised a gross display of hypocrisy and double standards when they dropped Okey Ndibe and kept Mr Abati who is clearly a disgrace to journalism. Nigerians and the Nigerian press must begin to uphold the lofty ideals which saw to the firing of Don Imus over a minor slur. If we can ever hope to one day have a sane society, people like Abati must be shown the door.

COUP PLOT: Turkish Government Descends On Nigeria, Closes Schools, Others

Senator She hu Sani meeting with Turkish Ambassador at Abuja.

The Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Hakan Cakil, has called on the Nigerian Government to close 17 Turkish schools in Nigeria for their alleged links with a movement his government says was involved in the July 15 failed coup attempt in Turkey.

The ambassador, who made the call when the vice chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Shehu Sani, paid him a courtesy visit, said the Turkish Government had nothing to do with the schools.

According to the ambassador, investigations by the Turkish government showed that a movement led by US-based Fethullah Gulen was responsible for the failed coup attempt, which claimed over 200 lives.

He said the Turkish government was dissociating itself from any school bearing the country’s name in Nigeria, adding that while the country had schools in other countries, it had none in Nigeria.

“We are requesting the Nigerian Government to close down the schools.

“I have requested officially, both orally and in writing, the closure of these schools. Also, I have sent a letter to Mr Geoffrey Onyeama (Foreign Minister) and Mr Abba Kyari (Chief of Staff to the President) about this subject and requested their support for the closure of the schools.

“I will also send letters to the Chairmen of Committees on Foreign Affairs in the National Assembly as well as the Senate Majority Leader over the issue and I am going to enclose some documents in English on how the group members are engaged in the army, police and the Judiciary.

“In Nigeria, there are 17 schools, which belong to the Gulen Movement, one in Kano, one in Kaduna, one in Abuja, Lagos etc and they are offering scholarships.

“We are starting some legal procedures to take the name of Turkish out of the name of the schools. They are not the schools of the Turkish Government.

“They are misleading the public and allocating scholarships to the children of the high bureaucracy and after they graduate from school, they send the children to Turkey to attend their universities,’’ he said.

The ambassador said the Turkish government had closed down all schools linked to the movement in Turkey.

“Turkish government has already closed down all primary, secondary, high schools and universities owned by the group in Turkey.

“In our system, it is allowed for the foundation to establish schools if they fulfill some requirements and that is how they established these schools.

“This is an issue that the Turkish Government has attached so much importance.

“Recently, my Minister called Mr Onyeama and briefed him about these schools because they are raising funds through the schools and they are using these funds for illegal activities.

“This is a matter of national security for us in Turkey. I have instructions from my government to follow up this matter and we will be very happy to obtain the support of Nigerian legislators on that issue,’’ he said.

He promised to engage other relevant government officials on the matter, adding that “I will take the matter up to the Federal Executive Council. I have also requested an audience with the Minister of Education.

“You may be aware that the government of Turkey started to investigate those responsible for the coup attempt.

“It is really clear that the Gulen Movement is behind the coup. There are some testimonies by detained military officials.

“They are confessing that they are in connection with the Gulen Movement and they have been members of the Gulen Movement for a long time and they have been planning this coup for a long time, nearly five months.

“The Government of Turkey has started to take some legal actions against the leader of the movement. He is now based in the United States. His extradition is a legal matter between Turkey and United States,’’ he said.

On the relations between Nigeria and Turkey, the ambassador said he was optimistic that the trade between the two countries, which declined due to the drop in oil price, would pick up soon.

The Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Sani, said Turkey had the legitimate right to be concerned about its security in view of the failed coup attempt.

He, however, urged the Turkish government to operate within the ambits of the law in bringing those responsible for the incidence to book.

“I think the world should identify and reason with you because if the coup had succeeded there could have been bloodshed.

“You have a legitimate right to continue to raise them and for our government to look into them.

“One thing I will say is that I will urge you to use the instrument of democracy, liberty and constitutional right to bring to book those who are involved in that,” he said.

Finally Popular Actor, Pete Edochie Speaks On Politics, Speaks On APC, Buhari, Ekweremadu

Pete Edochie

Legendary actorr, Pete Edochie has taken a swipe at the Muhammadu Buhari led administration and the All Progressives Congress, on the removal of Chief Ike Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President.
The APC leadership, including some governors elected under the party’s platform have repeatedly said that Ekweremadu must gate the seat of the Deputy Senate Presidency.

The tespian disclosed this in a post on his facebook page entitled: “Pete Edochie Quotes” slammed the Buhari led government for chasing shadows while the situation in the country worsened.

He wrote:‎ “If Ekweremadu’s removal will help stabilize the economy, then, they should do all within their power to remove him.

“If Ekweremadu’s removal will stop Nigerians from losing their jobs, then,it is a task that must be done.

“If Ekweremadu’s removal will curtail Fulani Herdsmen from killing of helpless Nigerians, then, Ekweremadu should vacate both his office and the senate immediately.

“If Ekweremadu’s removal will stabilize the prices of food and common commodities in the market, then, I am joining them in asking Ekweremadu to vacate the senate.

“If Ekweremadu’s removal will make Buhari to abandon his 97% and 5% policy, stop Buhari from seeking to turn Nigeria to a fiefdom where the only capable hands are only people from a certain part of the country, then, Ekweremadu’s immediate constituency should recall him from the senate.

“But , where the reverse is true, All the APC Governors seeking Ekweremadu’s removal should tender their resignation letters and handover notes. God bless Us and God bless Nigeria.‎”

Unbelievable!! See What Happened to Man Cast With Love Spell After He Tried To Burn It [Photo]

Jeremiah Maseko

A South African man has been left totally devastated after finding out that his girlfriend of many years had cast a love spell on him. He found out that the girlfriend went to a traditional healer to get a charm so that he won't be shared with any other woman.

However, after many years the man identified as Jeremiah Maseko finally bust his girlfriend after finding the love spell hidden under his mattress.

Daily Sun SA reports that he was furious and immediately burned it, but this was a mistake, as his face soon started to itch. Since then, sores have covered his face and he looks as though he has been burned in a fire!

The 55-year-old, who has since dumped the woman, told Daily Sun he had been in and out of hospital but doctors didn’t know what was wrong with him.

“They just give me ointment to smear on my face, but the sores remain. I regret bringing that woman into my life. Women don’t want to be associated with me anymore because of the way I look,” he said.

Jeremiah said his face itched terribly in summer. “I have to wear a hat in summer to protect myself,” he said.

Doctor Raymond Isaacs, a general practitioner in the Joburg CBD, said Jeremiah should consult a skin doctor to help him with his problem.

Sangoma Dungamanzi Nyoniyasemanzini said Jeremiah’s girlfriend used fire muthi, known as isichitho somlilo.

He advised Jeremiah to consult an inyanga (A traditional healer or diviner, especially one specializing in herbalism) to mix muthi (charm) to cure him.
