Man beheaded in broad day light in Woolwich, South London

A man, believed to be a serving soldier, was attacked and beheaded with a machete in broad day light this afternoon in Woolwich, South London by two men in what is suspected to be a terror attack.

The soldier was attacked with knives and meat cleavers following a car crash. Two black men in a blue Vauxhall car rammed into the soldier on John Wilson Street, then jumped out of their car and started attacking him with meat cleavers. An eye witness said the attackers were "chopping this guy to pieces, literally hacking at something like it was a piece of meat".

It is claimed that the men shouted 'Allahu Akbar', which means God is great in Arabic before attacking. After the attack, the men then waited for about 20 minutes for police to show up and then tried to attack the officers. They were shot by police. One (or both) of them is believed to be alive.

ICT Can Be Used In Tackling Insecurity – NCS

President of Nigerian Computer Society, NCS, Sir. Demola Aladekomo has warned that the fight against terrorism and other acts of insecurity may be long-drawn, unless information technology, education, employment creation were given urgent attention in governance.

Speaking last week in Lagos during a press conference to announce the 2013 edition of NCS International Conference slated to hold in Osun State next July, the NCS President noted that e-government and national security as the theme of this year’s conference was borne out of the need to highlight the relevance of IT to governance and national security to ensure real, all-inclusive development and transformation of governance through IT, while overcoming the menace of insecurity bedevilling the nation.

Alademoko said if terrorists who are majorly youths were gainfully engaged through IT, the situation can be better managed.

“Let us engage the jobless youth population. There is no better time than now. Let us build IT parks around the nation where youths can be engaged. Let us empower the youths with IT tools and knowledge which will go a long a long way in preparing them for the global market.

“You will agree with me that the recent declaration of State of Emergency in three states in the country by the President, due to insecurity challenges in those states made this theme all the more compelling.”

One way to describe e-government is the application of ICT to strengthen governance — the use of ICTs in the operations and performance improvement of public sector organisations. It also means the use of ICT to achieve better stakeholders’ engagement.

“When carefully designed and diligently implemented, e-government tackles the problems of poverty, disease, unemployment and hunger. E-government strategies that work facilitate both public sector and private sector development.

“The protection of life and property is the major function and responsibility of any government. All over the world, no nation is excluded from the challenges of insecurity. Murder, armed robbery, terrorism, cultism and other crimes abound despite the best efforts of security and law enforcement agencies.

“A more proactive IT-led approach to combating this menace is needed in a country like ours. It is our considered view that no organisation is better suited than the NCS to chart the way forward in this regard.

“NCS has diligently over the past few months canvassed the use of ICT towards resolving the issues of security in our Country. We call on the Federal government to engage NCS towards contributing in resolving this massive issue. Once this is done youth empowerment and employment will follow” he explained.

The annual conference which addresses critical national and global IT issues and concerns, attracts practitioners, decision makers, policy makers and professionals from Nigeria and all over the World.

Ghanaian Police Directs TB Joshua's Synagogue Church To Relocate

The Ghanaian Police on Tuesday in Accra directed the Synagogue Church to stop hosting worship sessions at its Spintex Road church for security reasons.

The police ordered the church to relocate to a more convenient venue.

Accra Regional Police Commander, Mr Christian Yehonu, said in a statement that the recent tragedy in the church could have been avoided if the church had been located at a bigger worship centre.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that a stampede that occurred at the church premises on Sunday May 19 led to the death of four persons while several others were injured.

Jonathan Orders Release Of Detained Terrorists

As the military offensive to dismantle Boko Haram terrorists activities and the camps in North East Nigeria continues, President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the release from Police, SSS and Military detention centers, of hundreds of persons held in connection with the insurgency.
The action of the President which took many Nigerians and security agencies by surprise is however interpreted by presidency sources as the ‘Carrot and Stick’ policy by the Commander in Chief to bringing an end to the Boko Haram debacle.

Vanguard gathered that the beneficiaries will cut across such states as Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe and Niger, though the exact number was not revealed.
The federal government however explained that the decision to order the release is sequel to the request of the Presidential Committee in Dialogue and Reconciliation set up to explore the possibility of amnesty for converted terrorists.
A statement to that effect signed by the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade said, “Consequent upon the directives of the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Defence Headquarters will be releasing from detention a number of persons being held in connection with terrorist activities”.
“The move is in furtherance of the Federal Government position in response to requests by the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Reconciliation”.
“The measure which is in line with Presidential magnanimity to enhance peace efforts in the country will result in freedom for suspects including all women under custody”.
“The details of the directives and those to benefit from this gesture have been communicated to field units and the Joint Task Force”.
“The beneficiaries will be released to the State Governors who will be involved in further rehabilitation before these suspects are released to their respective community leaders/relations”.

18ft Snake Killed In Florida

A Miami man briefly wrestled with and ultimately used a knife to kill a Burmese python measuring 18 feet, 8 inches. MORE PICTURES HERE

In Florida, where they’ve been released as pets and escaped from wildlife facilities, there are thousands of them, mostly within the Everglades ecosystem.

As such a large and voracious invasive species, they’re a threat to native wildlife. The state would like to eradicate them, if that were possible.

Leon, meanwhile, is being praised.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued a news release, in which exotic species specialist Kristen Sommers stated:

“The FWC is grateful to him for both safety removing such a large Burmese python and for reporting its capture…With the help of people like Mr. Leon and our ongoing partnerships with other agencies, the FWC is advancing what we know about Burmese pythons in Florida.”

Leon, who said he once owned Burmese pythons and has experiencThat sets a state record for pythons captured or killed in the wild. The previous record measured 17 feet, 7 inches.

Jason Leon was not hunting pythons but, while driving late at night recently in southeast Miami-Dade County, he and a friend spotted about 3 feet of snake protruding from the brush.
Leon applied the brakes, climbed out of the car, grabbed the visible portion of the snake, and began hauling it onto the road.

The giant constrictor responded by trying to wrap its body around one of Leon’s legs, but he was able to dispatch the reptile with a knife.

Burmese pythons are native to grassy marshes of Southeast Asia and can grow to about 23 feet and weigh up to about 200 pounds.
e handling the nonpoisonous snakes, reported the capture via a hotline used for reporting exotic species.

The python was delivered to the University of Florida’s Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center where it was measured and a necropsy was performed.

At occasions or events like this, it's always the opportunity for people to dress to high heavens or to show how stylish they can be. This year's occasion did not disappoint in anyway. Some of the stars were on point stylewise, while many were totally crazy. If our home stars/celebs were to wear those many of us would skin them alive, with our comments.

Miguel's performance would not be forgotten in a hurry for his accidental drop kick on a female fan.David Guetta performed with Akon & Ne-Yo, Chris Brown had a scintillating performance doing 'Fine China' it was him at his 'Kung Fu' best. Pitbull performed for he 2nd time with Christina Aguilera. But it was the incredible Bruno Mars that started the performances (16 in all).

Meet the UK woman who says she's too pretty to work....hmmmm

33 year old Laura Fernee says her good looks forced her to quit her job, because men would not leave her alone and women at work were too jealous of her, so now she lives off her wealthy parents. Below is how Daily Mail UK is reporting it...

The 33-year-old science graduate says her slim figure and pretty face attracted unwanted attention from her male colleagues.

She also claims she has been ostracised by other women in the workplace who are jealous of her beauty. Miss Fernee now lives off her wealthy parents after quitting her £30,000 job in scientific research two years ago. She is def pretty but not that pretty! The excuse sounds kinda funny to me. Continue reading...

 
She said her appearance meant she was constantly harassed and bullied, and has decided work ‘just isn’t for her’.
Yesterday, she said: ‘I’m not lazy and I’m no bimbo. The truth is my good looks have caused massive problems for me when it comes to employment, so I’ve made the decision that employment just isn’t for me at the moment. It’s not my fault … I can’t help the way I look.

‘Male colleagues were only interested in me for how I looked. I wanted them to recognise my achievements and my  professionalism but all they saw was my face and body.’
She said men left ‘romantic gifts’ on her desk and she was ‘constantly asked out’, which she found ‘sleazy’.
‘Even when I was in a laboratory in scrubs with no make-up they still came on to me because of my natural attractiveness. There was nothing I could do to stop it,’ she added.

Miss Fernee studied science and medical research to doctorate level and began working in a laboratory in 2008. But she said she was forced to quit three years later because of the treatment she received.
She said: ‘They [other women] assumed because I was pretty, I was stupid, so didn’t take me seriously at first and, because of their own insecurities, were jealous of my looks.
‘Then when they realised I was very good at my job, possibly better than them, they hated me even more.’

Miss Fernee’s parents – Catherine, 65, and Alan, 70 – inherited money from Laura’s grandfather, and now pay £2,000 a month in rent and bills for her flat in Notting Hill, London, as well as picking up her credit card payments.

They also shell out £1,500 a month for her designer clothes, shoes and handbags, and £700 on haircuts.
Miss Fernee pays £80 a week to work out at the gym and spends £1,000 a month on socializing.
She said her critics were ‘underestimating just what a curse good looks can be in the workplace.
