At least 51 people were killed and over 94 injured when a child suicide bomber aged between 12 and 14 attacked a wedding party in the Turkish city of Gaziantep late on Saturday, August 20. The attack was the deadliest in a series of bombings in Turkey this year. President Tayyip Erdogan described the attack as an attempt by Islamic State extremists to destabilize the country by exploiting ethnic and religious tensions. "Initial evidence suggests it was a Daesh attack," Erdogan said in Istanbul on Sunday, using an Arabic name for the hardline Sunni Islamist group. He said 69 people were in hospital and 17 were "heavily injured". Islamic State has been blamed for other similar attacks in Turkey, often targeting Kurdish gatherings in an effort to inflame ethnic tensions. The deadliest was last October, when suicide bombers killed more than 100 people at a rally of pro-Kurdish and labour activists in Ankara. The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) ...

So about two weeks ago, a female corps member Temitope Adedewe, was battered and her two teeth removed with a hammer by a male corps member? What could have led to such craze? Two weeks later the National Youth Service Corps headquarters Abuja is yet to officially react. Also her NYSC discharge certificate, which was withheld for purportedly breaching the NYSC code of conduct and reporting the matter to the police in Arochukwu, Abia State, where the incident happened, is yet to be issued to her.

The perfect man;myth or Not? Love & Life  / Romance The Perfect Man; Myth Or Not? Exactly a week ago I met with someone who was in “dire” need of relationship advice. While I waited for her to appear, a long list of apprehensions ran through my mind. From the “possibility” that said lass could be a hired gun sent from the future to make little of my existence, to the “impossibility” she could be just a kind and warm lady. I was nervous. It was not as if she was going to be the first person I had ever talked to, but this one had an urgency, a hunger to see me that I had not yet experienced. I like to assess people from the little things other people take for granted. Even though the superficial things like how fashionable or how courteous such a person is count, I pay attention to the less obvious details. So when she finally arrived, I found myself wondering why her nails looked so unkempt. Why was she fidgety Looking here and there? Why was she nervous? We go...
