Brenda Biya mock critics by releasing another smoking video (video)

Cameroon's first daughter, Brenda Biya was under fire earlier in April, 2016 when a video of her smoking made headlines in the Cameroonian communities around the globe. She was criticised by many for openly smoking despite the fact that she is the first daughter and many young girls look up to her as a role model. Some critics went as far as comparing her to Obama's daughters, whom they quoted as kids with modest behaviour. 

To me, Brenda Biya and her entire family don't have respect for Cameroonians because if they did, they would keep her "dirty" habit a secret. What a mess!

Three People Shot Dead After Family Disagreement

Ngankou Charles, a driver, on May 4, 2016, shot dead his wife and brother-in-law and later killed himself after an altercation with the wife in Nanga-EbokoTragedy struck in Nanga-Eboko, 160 km from Yaounde in the Upper Sanaga Division of the Centre, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, when a man shot dead two people before killing himself. Speaking to Cameroon Tribune on phone from Nanga-Eboko on May 4, 2016, ‘Adjudant Chef Major’ Djietcheu Raphael, Commander of the Nanga-Eboko Gendarmerie Post, said Ngankou Charles, 59, a driver with the Guinness Depot in Nanga-Eboko, shot dead his wife, Metente Estelle Sylvie, 24, about 11 am, following a quarrel at home.

After attending the company’s Labour Day party on May 3, 2016, Ngankou retired home at about 2 am. Later on in the morning, the wife, Metente Estelle Sylvie, started questioning him about his “suspicious” behaviour with women at the party. Vexed by the incessant questions from the wife, Ngankou decided to send her back to her parents by giving her 10,000 FCFA for transport. However, the couple continued arguing right to the road where the husband went to see her off.

After a second thought, Ngankou ordered Metente to return the transport fare he had earlier given her, but she vehemently refused. Unable to stomach the reaction any longer, Ngankou Charles suddenly pulled out his Glock 483 B Australian-made automatic pistol and shot dead the wife, Djietcheu Raphael explained. Bisso Jathan, 24, who tried to save her sister’s life, was also fired on by the enraged man. He collapsed and died in the gutter. After killing the two people, Ngankou fled back home.

As gendarmes closed in on the home, they suddenly heard a shot ring out from inside. On forcing open the door, they discovered that the driver had killed himself by firing a shot on the throat, Djietcheu said. Gendarmes discovered 14 rounds of ammunition in the murder weapon. The Commander of the Nanga-Eboko Gendarmerie Post wondered how Ngankou, a civilian, acquired such a sophisticated weapon, adding that the make, Glock 483 B, which takes 20 rounds of ammunition, was completely new to his men. A search of the home also unveiled a semi-automatic rifle with two rounds of ammunition.

Meanwhile, gendarmes in Nanga-Eboko are investigating the origin of the strange automatic pistol, said to be more lethal than service pistols commonly used by Cameroonian security forces. In the meantime, the corpses of Metente Estelle Sylvie, Bisso Jathan and Ngankou Charles were kept in the Nanga-Eboko District Hospital Mortuary as investigations into the killings continue.

Indiana installs 'baby boxes' for unwanted newborn babies (photos)

The state of Indiana has created an avenue where mothers who don't want their children can safely place them with the government rather than abandon them or try to dispose of them in some horrible way or the other. The state installed two "baby boxes" where mothers can anonymously drop off unwanted newborn babies as an extension of the state's safe haven law.
Two Safe Haven Baby Boxes were opened to the public recently at Indiana fire stations as part of an initiative to give mothers in crisis a secure place to surrender their babies, said Monica Kelsey, a volunteer firefighter and founder of the nonprofit that created the boxes.

When a person opens the baby box, a call is immediately placed to 911, and fire and medical personnel are dispatched to the scene. The box is padded and climate controlled to keep the baby warm while still allowing air circulation, Kelsey said, and automatically locks once a person leaves the child and shuts the door.

The box is also equipped with motion sensors that trigger a second 911 call after detecting movement inside. Fire and medical officials would then look the baby over and transport him or her to a local hospital for evaluation. The child is then placed in the custody of the Indiana's Child Protective Services, Kelsey said.

First Muslim Miss USA converts to Christianity

Rima Fakih was the first Muslim to win the Miss USA competition when she was crowned the winner in 2010. Now, the former beauty queen has converted to Christianity. It is believed she converted last month in preparation for her marriage in Lebanon next week to a wealthy Christian music producer, Wassim Salibi.

When she won Miss USA she admitted she only became a Muslim when she got into college. She said:

"I'd like to say I'm American first, and I am an Arab-American, I am Lebanese-American, and I am Muslim-American." According to the news site Albawaba, Fakih only connected to her Muslim roots in college.

"When I went to the University of Michigan, because there's more of a Muslim community, my dad wanted me to learn more about Islam," she said. "I didn't know much about Ramadan and other holidays, and my dad wanted me to take that opportunity and learn."

Dad punched, kicked and stabbed their pet dog as it bit his son to death

A 22 year old civil engineer, Liam Hewitson who was having an epileptic attack was mauled to death by his own dog. According to Liam's girlfriend, Jessica Hill, the dog had attacked him 2 previous times in the past when he had epileptic attacks and she had begged him to get rid of the pitbull cross, called Trigger but he refused saying he loved the dog too much to get rid of him. She said she is heartbroken that the dog killed him this third time it tried.
She said in a statement to the inquest:

“I asked him to get rid of the dog because of the way it had behaved but he refused. He said he loved it too much to get rid of it.”

Liam's father, Phil Hewitson explained how he tried in vain to save his son form their pet dog. He told an inquest that he punched, kicked and even stabbed the dog in a desperate attempt to loosen its grip on the throat of his son Liam to no avail.

The inquest at Preston was told Liam was having an epileptic fit at his home in Preston when he was attacked by the dog he had raised from a puppy

He said he was upstairs in his bedroom when he heard the commotion downstairs and ran into the kitchen to see what was going on.
He said:

“I could see the dog had bit him and then come off him. As I shouted to the dog to get away it pounced back onto him. 

“I was kicking, hitting it, doing anything I could just to get it off him, but to no avail. I stabbed the dog and, after a second, it ran off. But it had already done the damage".

His Dad said by the time the dog let go off Liam's neck, he had suffered catastrophic injuries to the blood vessels in his neck and to his windpipe. Liam lost so much blood that by the time the  paramedics arrived, they were unable to save him.

Detective Inspector Jane Webb, who investigated the death, said there was “no criminal element” to the incident on New years Day.

Consultant pathologist Dr Jacob Joseph said Liam's death was due to injuries to the neck and trachea caused by a dog bite.
He said:

“Liam suffered from epilepsy and whilst having a fit his own dog bit him in the neck and face. He had difficulty breathing and couldn’t be resuscitated."

Phil Hewitson said:

“I have thought a lot about this since and why Trigger might have done that. I think the dog was thinking it was trying to help him while he was having the fit by picking him up by the neck and taking him away from that spot.  

“I knew from the bite and all the blood loss that the dog had basically killed him. I know there was nothing we could have done. It was very traumatic. “Liam really loved that dog. It was the first one he’d had and he took him everywhere with him.”

Video of man seen reading a book at a Beyonce concert goes viral

Beyoncé had a sold out concert at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina and this couple above sat down to watch the show. The only thing is that the woman's husband didn't seem interested in Beyoncé's performance, instead, he pulled out a book and began to read it. After the video went viral, ABC news tracked the man down to ask why he was reading instead of enjoying the concert.
The man, 66 year old George Papageorgiou's said he was working concessions at the venue for his church and he and his wife only pulled up seats when they were done.
He said:
"After a while, we watch the show. It was OK, and then we just sat down. I pulled up my book and start reading," he recalled. He said he had read the book 6 or 7 times before but preffered to read it than watch Beyoncé because that wasn't his type of music.

"I find Beyonce a great show woman, very attractive. Her music? Eh, fine, but not my style, the Greece native said. "I listen to '50s, '60s, '70s, and a lot of Greek music. He added: "I get this message on my iPhone saying 'It's hilarious, you're in the news for reading a book at the Beyonce concert.' It didn't sink in till I started getting phone calls or my wife and stuff saying the news is calling they want to interview you and I'm like 'What about?'" said Papageorgiou.
