From what they told us, the perpetrators have removed everything that has to do with the eyes, which would make fixing them difficult. However, doctors said that they would review the operation to see the outcome, hoping they can fix artificial ones.” He said the doctors said the artificial eyes would be fixed just to fill the holes, but not for the young boy to see. “Except if Allah performs a miracle,”
Meanwhile the grandmother of little Usman, Malama Hadiza Usman, narrated how she got to know that her grandson’s eyes had been removed by ritualists while he was on his way to an evening Islamiyya class.

He left the house with his brother Umar, but on their way they were intercepted by yet-to-be identified men who took him to an uncompleted building and gouged his eyes out.” At the hospital, little Abubakar was telling those around him to open his eyes to enable him see his mother and grandmother. “Open my eyes, I want to see Mama.

Talk show host, Funmi Iyanda took to her Instagram page recently to share these side by side photos of her bare skin to put paid to various speculations surrounding her lighter complexion. She wrote;
“The top is what happens to my skin in fall, winter and spring. The bottom is what it is in summer or when l’m home in my lovely hot country. There are no filters. Pictures taken six weeks apart. Top in London in November, bottom in Lagos in January. I do not like the unhealthy pasty lighter one much the golden brown one being much yummier, fortunately it is mostly bundled up in warm clothing until summer or when l come home. I spectacularly hate the snide insinuations and speculations l get on account of this from those who hate the skin they are in. This is my skin, it changes with the weather as nature designs. Next person who talks trash to me will end up in lawma’s bin. #iyalayaanybody #melaninonfleek #shadesofblack”

“Ever since high school, I’ve been called a slut. All the boys were attracted to me—that wasn’t my fault! Then, when I started getting famous, the shaming got even worse.
So please: Before you judge someone—especially another woman—put yourself in her shoes and also look at your past. That’s what a lot of women fail to do. They’re so quick to call another girl names, but it’s like: You know what? There may have been a time where you looked back and said, “I probably shouldn’t have done that.” Does that make you a ho? No, it makes you a human.”
The proud mum shared this pic of North playing in her closet. ‘It’s gonna be a long night,’ she wrote to her combined 98.6M followers on Twitter/Instagram. The little tote has got quite a closet.

According to recent studies, if you’re looking for an accurate personality test, look no further than your very own hands – more specifically, your ring finger. As it turns out, the length of your ring finger indicates the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in the womb.
So compare your hand to the image below:
Hand “A” means your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Hand “B” means your index finger is longer than your ring finger. Hand “C” means your ring and index finger are the same length.
Hand “A” means you are charming!
You ooze with confidence and charm, also you tend to take more risks. Some might say you can be a bit aggressive. Your perfect profession would be soldier, salesperson, or CEO.
Hand “B” means you’re a natural leader!
You’re a resourceful, even-tempered, and confident, people look to you for the right answers. Your ideal job would be politician, author of self-help books, or teacher.
Hand “C” means you’re a good communicator!
You’re a balanced person who tends to listen twice and speak once, and people are drawn to that. You make others feel comforted and appreciated when they need it most. Your ideal profession would be nurse, social worker, or therapist.

A Chicago police officer plans to sue the family of a black teenager he shot and killed, claiming emotional distress, United States media reported Friday.
The teen’s neighbour – a mother of five – was caught in the crossfire after answering the door and was also killed by police in the December 26 incident.
The shooting came as the US city was reeling from a series of incidents in which police were accused of being too ready to pull the trigger on their service weapons.
City officials apologised for the death of Bettie Davis, 55, but have said Quintonio LeGrier’s shooting was justified.
The family of LeGrier, 19, has repeatedly said there was no reason why police should have opened fire when responding to a domestic disturbance at their home.
Police said LeGrier was brandishing a baseball bat and threatened the responding officer.
His family insists there was no need to respond to the mentally disturbed teen with deadly force when all they were doing was asking for help.
Officer Robert Rialmo plans to file a civil suit against LeGrier’s estate, citing emotional distress and assault, his lawyer Joe Brodsky told WGN-TV.
Brodsky did not immediately return a request for comment.
Police tactics and racism have been the subject of a national debate since protests erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, in mid-2014 over the shooting dead of a black teenager, 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The US Justice Department is investigating how Chicago police use force after the death of another black teenager, Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times as he was walking away from officers.

The National Youth Service Corps has said that henceforth, participation in the national service and attendance of Law School at the same time “would not be acceptable”.
A statement by the spokesperson of the NYSC, Mrs. Abosede Aderibigbe, on Friday said this was part of the resolutions made at 2016 annual management conference of the organisation, which took place in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Participants also agreed that the policy on posting of the corps members to places of primary assignment would be reviewed to meet contemporary needs.
Aderibigbe said the conference stated that the NYSC Act provided for uninterrupted service year, and “advised prospective corps members to choose which one to defer between national service and Law School attendance instead of attempting to combine both.”
She said, “Parents of prospective corps members have also been advised by the confab to allow their graduate children take decisions as adults and avoid discouraging them from accepting postings to any location in the country.
“Management also noted the return of normalcy in some states whose orientation camps were closed due to insecurity, and expressed readiness to make phased reopening of the camps after due consultations with security agencies and governments of the affected states.”
The conference further resolved to deepen engagements with key stakeholders, including the security and intelligence community and traditional rulers on matters of security and general well-being of corps members.
