Busted! Secret of Magician Who Stunned People by Floating in the Air Uncovered (Photos)

A renowned British magician, Dynamo, was photographed while floating across Westminster Bridge in London. Many of eyewitnesses were stunned by the miracle they saw with their eyes and tried to comprehend it…

The answer came later as the Australian website, news.com.au, posted a claim that the illusionist was using a fake right arm for his trick with his real arm tucked inside his coat.

“The arm is in fact a metal pole that has been fastened to the bus and is supporting Dynamo’s weight while he holds on. Dynamo’s real arm is in tucked inside his chest. A few signs from our social media sleuths include the fact that his fingers don’t move in the clip and there are no people around when he hovers up and down the bus. In fact, at second glance the arm attached to the bus looks pretty phony.

The couple have now come clean to say the pictures you are seeing aren't really that of their new daughter.

Reps Dump Jonathan’s 2013 Budget Amendment Bill

The House of Representatives, Wednesday, confirmed wide-spread speculations over its planned rejection of President Goodluck Jonathan’s proposal for the amendment of the 2013 Budget by throwing out the fiscal document on the ground that it was incurably bad.
The House rejected the President’s  budget amendment proposal after a report on it was presented at Wednesday’s plenary session by the Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business Hon. Sam Tsokwa on behalf of the joint Committees on Rules and Business , Judiciary  and Justice which was given the responsibility to examine  and determine the legality of the President’s letter to the National Assembly last March.
Hon. Tsokwa had in the report informed the House that going by the content of the letter, the President was silent on what should be amended in the 2013 Appropriation Act adding that he should have presented a Supplementary Appropriation Act.
Citing reasons why the lawmakers dumped the budget amendment proposal, Hon Tsokwa said: “A community reading of section 81 subsections (1) (2) and (4) of the Constitution creates a very strong impression and feeling in the mind that the Constitution does not favour, admit of or even contemplate the amendment of an Appropriation Act save  through a Supplementary Appropriation Act. ”
According  Hon. Tsokwa: “The document, the Appropriation Act 2013 Amendment Bill, which Mr. President’s communication forwarded to the House, apart from carrying the title “Appropriation Act 2013 Amendment Bill” and the Bill’s Long Title, has nothing again in it to show that it is a document seeking to amend or repeal and re-enact the 2013 Appropriation Act.

Senate to Jonathan: Increase Size of Military to Battle Insurgency

The Senate has called President Goodluck Jonathan to give an order to the military and security agencies to carry out urgent recruitment. The increase of the forces’ size is needed as the insurgency has overstretched the security agencies.

The decision was one of the recommendations from the report of investigations into the killings which the senate approved at plenary on Wednesday.

The senate also asked government at all levels to re-open all government institutions, health centres, and police stations shut down as a result of the activities of the Boko Haram sect in Baga border town, Borno state.

With echoes of international and national condemnation over the magnitude of the loss of lives and accusing fingers pointed at the military for its alleged role in the violence, the senate mandated its committees to investigate the incident.

The Chairman, Senate committee on defence, George Sekibo said the figure of casualties and loss of properties was exaggerated a claim some of the lawmakers challenged.

The number of casualties aside, lawmakers said government at all level must address some fundamental problems if Nigeria hopes to win the war against terrorism.

Indian Gang Rape: 10-Year-Old Girl Dies In Hospital

A 10-year-old girl who reportedly was gang-raped in India last week passed away at a Mumbai hospital on Tuesday night.

The child was admitted to the facility in Navi Mumbai with nausea and a high fever several days after the June 16 assault, NDTV reports. Authorities are investigating whether the girl died of injuries relating to the rape or if an unrelated illness -- possibly meningitis -- was the cause.

According to local reports, four teenage boys between the ages of 14 and 16 gang-raped the young girl after luring her to a secluded location.

The girl was rushed to the local hospital after she collapsed on June 20. Though the 10-year-old was unconscious during her time in the hospital, she reportedly described the assault to a friend before she was admitted. The friend relayed the account to the girl's parents.

"The girl had told her mother that she was experiencing pain in her private parts, but did not reveal that she had been raped. Her ordeal came to light when she was hospitalized," Fatehsingh Patil, a police commissioner in Navi Mumbai, told the Mumbai Mirror. "We have registered a case and are questioning the suspects."

As the Hindustan Times notes, one of the boys in question is believed to have previously raped the girl on a separate occasion.

The horrific incident is the latest in a string of sexual assaults that have been reported in India recently. Just last week, a 13-year-old in eastern Mumbai was raped by an 18-year-old, with whom she was in a relationship, and two other men.

Following the widely publicized death of a 23-year-old student who was raped by a group of men on a moving bus in New Delhi in late 2012, many in the country have pressed the government to take a harsher stance against sexual violence.

A new law that stiffens punishments in sexual violence cases was enacted in March, prompting praise from women's groups.

Mother Starves Her 4-Year-Old Son, Then Beats Him To Death

A mother accused of starving her four-year-old son before beating him to death was an aggressive drunk who threatened the boy's father with a knife, a court heard today.

Magdalena Luczak, 27, and her partner Mariusz Krezolek, 33, of Coventry, are accused of depriving Daniel Pelka, of food, force-feeding him salt and locking him in a home-made prison.
The toddler was so skinny he resembled a ‘concentration camp victim’ before he died from a head injury in March 2012, Birmingham Crown Court was told.
Daniel's biological father Eryk Pelka said he regularly found Luczak drunk while looking after their son, and the pair would regularly argue - with her lashing out by hitting him over the face.
He told the court she once threatened to stab him with a knife at a party, and he had to call the police. They met in Poland in 2004 then moved to Coventry a year later before Daniel was born.
But their relationship deteriorated and he eventually left Britain to return to his native Poland when Daniel was aged one. Mr Pelka said he had ‘fierce arguments’ with Luczak.
Speaking through a translator, he said: ‘They are only my thoughts but she was aggressive towards me. She was shouting and calling me names and she was trying to hit me as well.’
Mr Pelka said at a party in 2007 police had to be called after Luczak threatened him with a knife.
He said: ‘We were at the party together and we had been drinking together. We were arguing all the time and she grabbed a knife.
'I rang the police and the police came and arrested both of us because I was drunk as well. I was pushing her away.’
Mr Pelka said Luczak would ‘repeatedly’ slap him across the face. He said on two occasions he had to call into work and pretend to be sick because Luczak had not come home from a night out.
He also said he came home late from his job as a lorry driver on at least two occasions and found her drunk. He said: ‘She was drunk and Daniel was lying on his own and no-one was looking after him.’
The pair moved to Coventry in 2005 and shared various addresses before and after Daniel was born in December 2007.

Wamakko Makes Regular Donations for Free Treatment of Kidney Failure Patients

The management of the Specialist Hospital, Sokoto disclosed on Wednesday that Gov. Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State donated N21 million for free treatment of renal failure patients at the institution.

The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Attahiru Isa, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Sokoto that the governor had been donating N1.5 million monthly to the centre from May 2012 to date.

“Since then all the patients being treated at the centre were getting their routine dialysis and drugs free, courtesy of the gesture by Wamakko.

“Some of them come here for between two to eight dialysis sessions per week and each session costs N15,000 but they are now getting them free as the governor has been paying the money,” he  added.

Isa said the centre was established in March 2011 by the state government with the active collaboration of the MTN foundation.

The director said “if not for this noble and commendable gesture by Gov. Wamakko, most of the renal failure patients, especially the indigent ones, might have died by now.

“Other wealthy individuals should emulate the governor in this direction. He does this in addition to the N6 million the state government gives monthly to the health sub-committee of the Zakkat and endowment for the free treatment of indigent patients across the state.”

Some of the patients interviewed at the dialysis centre were full of praises for the governor, saying “we have nothing to offer to him and his government than fervent prayers.”

They appealed to other wealthy individuals and organisations to emulate the governor, to save the lives of other indigent patients in the state and the country in general.

SHOCKING PHOTOS: Man Attacked By Tiger

This is the dramatic moment a 400lb tiger leaps at a father-of-two, pinning him to the ground as she begins to maul him.
But fearless Randy Miller, 45, is in fact merely playing with the big cat Eden, who he has reared from birth and trained to carry out the fake attack.

 At first the tiger leaps 15 feet into the air before pile-driving Mr Miller into the ground as part of the double act.
The animal then appears to begin to maul Mr Miller - who eventually gets up and walks away unharmed.
Mr Miller said: 'If a stranger tried to do this, they would get seriously injured, mauled or even killed.'

Hezbollah: 3 Lebanese Charged With Terrorism In Nigeria

Nigeria on Wednesday charged three Lebanese allegedly linked to the militant Shiite movement Hezbollah with terrorism related offences.
Five Lebanese nationals were implicated last month after a huge cache of arms and ammunition was found in their premises in the northern city of Kano and the capital Abuja.
Three of them — Mustapha Fawaz, aged 49, Abdallah Thahini, 48 and Talal Ahmad Roda, 51 — were hit with a six-count charge of terrorism, while a fourth suspect was freed and the fifth was said to be on the run.
The three were also said to hold Nigerian citizenship.
Court papers said they “professed to belong to Hezbollah military wing, an international terrorist organisation, and you thereby committed an offence…”

The trio were accused of conspiracy “to receive training in preparation to engage in the commission of a terrorist act.”
The suspects were also alleged to have “directly rendered support to a terrorist group” by providing in their premises “weapons for terrorist activities.”
They were accused of permitting “a meeting connected with act of terrorism to be held” at their premises, an upscale supermarket and amusement resort in Abuja.
Thahini was said to be the coordinator of Hezbollah in Nigeria as well as a conduit to transfer funds for its operation.
The suspects pleaded not guilty to the charges and the judge ordered that they be remanded in custody until the next hearing on July 8.
Defence lawyer Ahmed Raji said Nigeria would not be able to sustain the charges of belonging to a terrorist group since there has not been a formal declaration of Hezbollah as a terrorist sect by the government.
Last month, Nigeria’s security services discovered a home in Kano where weapons they claimed were intended to attack Israeli and Western targets in Nigeria were kept.
Further searches also revealed more weapons in another property owned by the Lebanese in Abuja.
Nigeria is confronting an insurgency waged by radical Islamist group Boko Haram that has left thousands dead since 2009.
Observers see Boko Haram primarily as a domestic group that has possibly sought closer ties to Al-Qaeda’s west Africa franchise.
Nigeria is home to a sizeable Lebanese population, including in the mainly Muslim north.

Amaechi Condemns the Attitude of Nigeria Bar Association Towards NGF Crisis

The Rivers Governor, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi, on Wednesday decried the attitude of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) toward the crisis in the Nigeria Governors’ Forum following its May 24 election.

The governor made the criticism at a symposium, organised by the Rule of Law Development Foundation, in Abuja.

Amaechi called on Nigerians to defend the truth in the interest of the 2015 general elections.

He said “NBA has lost its voice and NBA cannot afford to lose its voice on issues of national concern because of its position in the society.

“Anybody who supports the Jang group is undermining democracy because everybody voted during the election, including Jang. The way things are going we have to be careful.”

He insisted he was the ‘bona fide’ chairman of the forum because he won the election.

NAN recalls that the election of the chairman of the forum has generated a controversy with both Amaechi and Jang claiming to be the holder of the office.

Veteran Singer Fatai Rolling Dollar’s Confession Before Death

Veteran singer, Late Fatai Rolling Dollar made one final confession to his wife before he passed away.
According to the said wife, Zainab Olagunju, the singer asked her for forgiveness because he knew he had offended her. She revealed that he asked for forgiveness because he married another wife after her and he had previously denied it.
She says;

“On the day that he died, June 12, I got to the hospital and saw them passing a drip into his body. The last thing he told me was that he had offended me and my conscience. When I asked what he meant by that, his voice faded out completely,” she said
“I feel he wanted to confess to me that he had married another wife because he never told me about it before his death. I used to ask him about it, but he always denied it. I feel he wanted to tell me about Sherifatu Olagunju, his last wife.
“When I found out, I was not angry. As a human being, if you hear that your husband is not faithful, you would be pained. I used to see her with my husband but I did not know there was anything between them. He always denied it but when we were burying him in Ikorodu and Sherifatu saw how everything was, she calmed down and accepted me as her senior. I also took her as my junior. Three days after the burial of my husband, she came to live with me and we didn’t fight. We see ourselves more as sisters.”

Zainab gave birth to two children for Fatai, namely Jamiu and Mojeed. The couple was married in 1999 and lived together in Mushin – Lagos before they eventually moved to Agege.

Abomination: Dutch Woman Freezes Dead Mother

A Dutch woman kept her dead 83-year-old mother in the freezer for a week because she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye.

A family friend contacted police on Monday, saying they could “no longer live” with the secret of the body in the freezer.

Police went to the house in Kamperland, a small town in the southwestern Netherlands, and the 46-year-old daughter immediately confessed.

“There was no indication that the mother didn't die of natural causes, but the body has nevertheless been taken for an autopsy,” police spokeswoman Esther Boot said.

The daughter was taken to the police station, interviewed and examined by a psychiatrist and allowed to return home.

Police said the daughter was “too sad” to let her mother go.

“She wanted to keep her nearby,” Boot said.

The two women had lived together for 17 years, during which time the daughter took care of her mother day and night "with lots of love", police said.

“We don't yet know if there will be criminal proceedings, that's up to the prosecutor,” Boot said.

“Technically it's a crime to keep a body in the freezer.”

Big Water Comes to Jos, Streets Are Flooded

The rains in Jos, the Plateau State capital, caused flooding that prevented free flow of traffic on major roads on Wednesday afternoon.

The roads along Nasco group of companies on Yakubu Gowon road were blocked by the flood. Residents blamed the flood on the blocked drainage along the highway.

Nigeria’s meteorological agency, NIMET, had in March, predicted severe flooding in Plateau State and some other states of the federation during the raining season.

The agency also predicted flooding in four council areas of the state: Jos South, Barkinladi, Bokkos and Riyom Local Government Areas, in June.

The warning has left residents of the council areas panicking each time rain falls.

On Wednesday, after the flood water subsided, residents were seen gathering their belongings, as the clouds seemed hazy, in fear of another downpour

HELP! "I Caught My Husband Having Sex With Another Man"

I just found out that my husband is completely gay.
I caught him red-handed in the act last night. I told him I was going for a night duty and unfortunately, my car broke down and I couldn’t make it down to work and had to tell another nurse to cover up for me.
I had to leave my car on the spot, because there was nothing I could do at that late hour. However, some night watch-men agreed to help me look after it. I got back into the house and to avoid waking up my husband and children, I crept in quietly. As I stepped into our room, there he was! My dear husband was receiving at the rear from another man.
I have never witnessed such a messy sight. I should have suspected he was into such acts because sometimes we can go for weeks without having sex.
I am confused here, what do I do?

Confession: My Husband Brought A Lady Into Our Matrimonial Bed And Gave Me HIV!

My husband has finally shattered my heart and I weep as I write.
We had issues with finances and I tried to contribute the little amount I borrowed from friends. But, we still couldn’t make ends meet. Last two months, he came back home with a lady. He called me in the evening and he told me to just keep quiet when he comes back from work.
So, he just came back home with this fair, slim lady. And they slept together in our matrimonial bed. If anyone told me I would experience this in my life, I would never believe it. I slept in the children’s room. All through the night, I couldn’t sleep as I wondered what they were doing….on our matrimonial bed. I cried all night.
In the morning, he introduced me to the lady as his sister and the kids as mine. I felt dumbfounded, I never felt so disappointed in my life. He came back earlier from work and apologised to me, he said the lady works with the government and she was going to help him win a contract. He said the lady asked him to sleep with her, and that would be all. He said he did all that just to make our children and I live comfortably. Then he gave me 85,000 naira, he asked me to buy all we needed.
I cried and sobbed, but I had no one to run to for help. I accepted fate. For the whole week, he came back with this lady and they slept in our matrimonial bed…. Such a shameful act! After that week ended, she stopped coming. My husband said I could now return to our bed. He made love to me, I cried all through because of the evil he did, because of the way he broke my heart. He begged me and told me he would never do such again.
Last month, I started falling sick, I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed of HIV. I felt dumb! I knew this was the handiwork of my selfish husband. He also went to the hospital too and he was also diagnosed of same. The worst thing is he is now blaming me for not stopping him from doing such wicked acts.
I would never forget what he did to me. We are still living together, but I hate him so much. I wish I never got married to him!
