Two teenagers on a road trip with friends in Turkey died after being hit by a truck while trying to take selfies on the road. The pair were part of a group of five young men who had taken a hired car to travel on a trip from Alanya to Antalya on the south-west coast of Turkey.
According to a statement by the Police,the five friends had been drinking and friends of the five teens said they had stopped by the airport's perimeter fence on their way back to look at the planes,then all five friends decided they lay on the road to take a selfie with one of the planes in the background as it came into land.
But because it was already dark at 9pm,the truck driver didn't see them, and ran over two of the boys identified as Mohammet Bozkurt,17 and Caglar Savasci,19 . The other 3 escaped disaster after managing to roll out of the way at the last minute.
The federal government has hinted on the possible ban of hijabs following the increasing rate of suicide bombing. This was made known by the President,Mohamed Buhari during the Presidential Media Chat last night..
"If this thing (Suicide Bombing) continues,Hijab will have to be banned. When I said the war have been technically won, I said the capacity of BokoHaram to unleash attacks from camps and barracks have been stopped. If Hijab is found to be a problem,the Government will have no option than to take a decision on it. The People will have to consider it and their security.."he said.

A 16-year-old girl was found hanging on Xmas day after apparently taking her life. She had been kidnapped and gang-raped as punishment for her mother winning a local election. She went to the police with her mom to report the matter but she wasn't taken seriously. Feeling humiliated and traumatised,she took her own life. It was only after her death police swung into action and arrested two suspects.
The Socialist Party candidate in Mirzapur,Arvid Sen,said that the girl was gang-raped to avenge the poll defeat,allegedly by relatives of a losing candidate.
Her mother was elected for the local government faction,the block development council,in the Mirzapur district of north-east area of India.
However,a senior police officer said that a post-mortal report shows no sign of rape.
The latest incident is the latest high-profile case to spotlight women's safety in India in recent years. Two construction workers were arrested for the rape of a woman in the premises of tech giants,Infosys. The men,in their 20s filmed the alleged assault which happened on Sunday at one of the IT firm's offices in the western city of Pune,Maharashtra State,Officers said.
This comes a week after the lawmakers passed a bill allowing harsher punishment for juveniles aged 16-18 following an outcry over the release of a young rapist who served three years in a detention facility for his part in a notorious gang-rape in 2012.
Earlier this month,an Indian Court sentenced seven men to death after they were convicted of rape and murder of a Nepalese woman suffering from mental illness,reports revealed.
The Oyo State Police Command have arrested a 62-year-old imposter,BabatundeIdris for parading himself as a Colonel in the Nigerian Army and possessing fake identities to defraud one Mr. YinusaMustapha of the sum of N40m. The State Commissioner of Police,LeyeOyebade said,Iris was arrested after a petition was filed against him. He said;
"Following a petition received alleging the fraudulent activities of Idris,the Command's Anti-Kidnapping Squad swung into action and arrested the suspect,who until his arrest fraudulently obtained sums of money from his victims" .
Oyebade also revealed that the suspect promised his last victim,Mustapha,that he would help him with all the certificates for oil importation in 2012,but up to now,that hasn't been done. He failed to complete the deal after the money was paid into his account. The commissioner added that;
"The suspect forged various letterheads of the Nigerian Army which he issued to unsuspecting individuals and corporate organisations soliciting assistance . He also had many identities under fake names all bearing the status of a colonel. The suspect said on the other hand;
"I collected N16m from him claiming to be a colonel of the Nigerian Army. I signed the form but truly I am not a military man. One of my brothers is a general in the Nigerian Army.
One day,he gave to help somebody,so I made a copy of it. "Mustapha wanted me to help him collect certificates for oil lifting and because I knew people who could do it,I collected the money from him but the deal failed.
Some members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria have been arraigned at the Chief Magistrate Court 1,Zaria Road,Kaduna and charged with criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbances.

Ready to go out in the evening,planning a fun outing with the kids,a movie and dinner treat?.
Here are some tips to stay fit and healthy by following a proper diet - Eat a light snack before leaving home so that you don't have a growling stomach hungry to attack food when you order. At the theatres,avoid fried foods like samosas,soft drinks and instead stick to plain water or tea coffee. Opt for healthy snacks like plain popcorn,corn chaat,or regular chaat.
While ordering dinner,check the menu for food with less oil,or ask them to make your meal with no or less oil in it. Same ways avoid butter,cheese and deep-fried food items.
Keep a check on the portion size. Share your dish with others and if you are tempted to order other food,just take a bite from what the rest of the group is eating. A small bite too is enough to satiate your craving.
If you are having a drink with dinner,avoid the starters and opt for freshly cut carrot or cucumber sticks with w low cal dip. Have a salad before ordering for the main course.
The salad with a low fat dressing too will help you keep full. Avoid heavy sweets for dessert after the meal. Go for a low calorie ice cream instead or just take a paan which too will take care of your sweet tooth. -TOI.com
Hmm,amazing,this is simply hilarious. Guys,just imagine a house built like a bottle,shoe,bulldozer,etc.
A company based in Pennsylvania,United States have their house built like a Pot nicked 'The Coffee Pot"..
The Coffee Pot,also known as the Koontz Coffee Pot,was built by David Berton Koontz to attract more customers to his service station. It was originally a small luncheonette connected to the Koontz Garage,right next to Lincoln Highway / U.S Route 30 in Bedford,Pennsylvania.
The massive pot is made of brick and stands 18 feet tall,and 22 feet wide. According to Roger Young of American Motorcyclist,in it's prime,'the building was originally covered in sheet metal to more closely resemble its trademark,'The kitchen Appliance'.
The two-storey building had a ground floor restaurant where Koontz served Coffee,Ice cream,and Light lunches,and a small apartment above".
Wow,as far as Man liveth,his brain will never stop thinking about more developments.
Thumbs up David Berton Koontz..
Scandal broke out after a customer
bought an chopping board with an image of US President,Barrack Obama as a monkey,in a shop Tatarstan's main city,Kazan and took pictures that went viral.The product features a family of monkey with an image of Obama's face superimposed to that of the smallest primate.
The upscale Russian store chain on Thursday,10th December 2015 apologised for selling the chopping boards after a furious reaction by the US embassy on Thursday.
It was also reported that the store chains no longer have the product in it's shelves,saying it had not been aware of the image of the President."Sales of the shopping boards have been stopped,"
Valentina Moiseyeva,a Spokesperson for the Bakhetle store chains,Tass agency reported.
"We are sorry that such product was on our store shelves.For us,it is unacceptable that a store be used as a place for political provocation."Moiseyeva said,adding that the supermarket have lodged a format complaint against the board's supplier.
The board is styled for a calendar for 2016,the year of the monkey according to the Chinese zodiac.
The Bakhetle chain is based in Russia's traditionally Muslim region of Tatarstan,but has stores spread across the country.
Will Stevens,the spokesperson for the US embassy in Moscow took to Twitter to show his displeasure,"Disgusting to see that such blatant racism has a place on Russia's store shelves".He tweeted.
The World Bank has adviced the federal government to remove petroleum subsidy now as the price of Crude Oil has declined drastically.This was made known by the bank's leader Economist,John Litwack at the launch of the new edition of Nigeria Economic Report,the World Bank's lead Economist
He expressed the feeling that the best time to remove fuel subsidy is now when global crude oil price is at it's lowest rate,noting the Bank foresaw continuous decline in global crude oil price.
the fuel subsidy appears to have vast modest benefits for the majority of citizens, but the costs are quite high.There is a strong belief the cost of fuel subsidy to increase over time as increasing domestic demand for petrol out-paces growth in oil output or revenues.The $30 billion cost of fuel subsidy during 2010-2014 was one of the reasons Nigeria was unable to accumulate a fiscal reserve in the Excess Crude Account that could have protected the country from the recent oil price shock ,he said.
San Bernardino attack: Obama vows to overcome terror threat
US President Barack Obama has made a rare Oval Office address after the San Bernardino shootings that left 14 dead.
He said the killings were "an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people".
But
"freedom is more powerful than fear," said President Obama, warning
that falling prey to divisiveness in American society would play into
the hands of extremists.
He also said the US must make it harder for potential attackers to obtain guns.
Mr
Obama vowed that the US would overcome the evolving threat of
terrorism, but warned that Americans "cannot turn against one another by
letting this fight be defined as a war between America and Islam".
"If
we're to succeed in defeating terrorism, we must enlist Muslim
communities as some of our strongest allies, rather than push them away
through suspicion and hate," Mr Obama said.
He reminded his audience that Muslim-Americans were part of US society.
"And,
yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in
defence of our country. We have to remember that," he said.
The
president warned that turning against America's Muslim communities
would be exactly what Islamist extremists in the so-called Islamic State
group want.
Mr Obama told Americans that terrorism had entered a
new phase, from large scale attacks by al-Qaeda to less complicated
attacks by radicalised individuals.
He said the US would draw upon "every aspect of American power" to combat IS.
He
underscored that the US and its allies have increased their bombing of
Islamic State oil infrastructure and would continue to train and equip
moderate rebels in Iraq and Syria.
"Our military will continue to hunt down terrorist plotters in any country where it is necessary," he said.
The president added that there are a number of things that can be done on home soil to combat terrorism.
He
called for stricter gun control and said he had ordered the Departments
of State and Homeland Security to review the K-1 fiance visa programme
under which the female attacker in San Bernardino originally entered the
US.
This was only the third Oval Office address of Mr Obama's presidency - they are reserved for events of national importance.
Republican candidates react
Republican
presidential frontrunner Donald Trump tweeted to criticise the length
of Mr Obama's statement, which lasted just over 13 minutes. "Is that all
there is? We need a new President - FAST!", Trump said.
Mr
Trump, who has been criticised for what many see as anti-Islamic
pronouncements, added: "Well, Obama refused to say (he just can't say
it), that we are at WAR with RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS."

Call it vogue,call it trendy,but guys this one is really a food for the thought.
These days,there is a huge obsession with possessing a 'Curvy Behind'.This trend has caused counts of ladies to go extra mile to implant removable silicon butt pads into their spandex before putting a clothe over it.
Clinging ensembles that emphasises the rear is the 'IT' dress on every red carpet event as celebrities would turn around in close ranges so that the 'paparazzi' could capture every angle,especially the 'Backside'.
But are the guys to blame for this 'Curvy Backside' craze?.Findings has revealed that some guys are no longer attracted to skinny ladies,but to those with big behinds with curves in the right places.
An interview with a friend recently enlightened me more that ladies with big behinds get more attention from men than those who don't.
"Ladies don't mind flaunting it and the guys don't mind starring at them,he revealed.

Faulty equipment
was a "major factor" in the AirAsia plane crash last December that
killed all 162 people on board, Indonesian officials say.
The
plane's rudder control system malfunctioned four times during the flight
- a fault that occurred 23 times in the preceding year, officials said.
Their report added that the crew's response contributed to the disaster.
The Airbus A320-200, travelling from Surabaya to Singapore, crashed into the Java Sea on 28 December 2014.
Investigators
had initially indicated that stormy weather was a major factor in the
crash - however, they now say that this was not a cause. The new report
from the National Transport Safety Committee, released after a
year-long investigation, found that the soldering on a tiny electronic
part in the system that controlled the rudder was cracked, causing it to
send four warning signals to the pilots.
The crew tried to fix
the problem by resetting the computer system, but this disabled the
autopilot. They then lost control of the plane.
The plane then
entered "a prolonged stall condition that was beyond the capability of
the flight crew to recover", the report said.
Maintenance
crews were aware of the problem as it had occurred 23 times in the past
year, and resetting the system was one of several methods used
previously to address it, the report added. The report also said that:
Inadequacies in the maintenance system led to "unresolved repetitive faults occurring with shorter intervals"
There appeared to be miscommunication
between the pilot and co-pilot - at one point, the pilot commanded "pull
down" but the plane was ascending
At another point, the two men appeared to be pushing their controls in opposite directions
The report does not apportion blame or liability, but is intended to help the industry avoid future accidents.
Sri Budi Siswardani lost her son Bhima Aly Wicaksana in the crash.
She
told the BBC's Indonesian service: "The report today brought back all
the trauma, grief and loss... I don't want to be angry with AirAsia,
what's the use of anger? In the end it will only hurt me and stop me
from moving on.
"We accept Allah's plan for us. But I do want
the government to make sure it doesn't happen again. Don't let the
disaster of 28 December ever happen again."

Media captionSribudi Siswardani's 31-year-old son was on board AirAsia flight QZ8501 - on his first trip overseasMalaysia-based AirAsia's Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said: "There is much to be learned here for AirAsia, the manufacturer and the aviation industry."
"We will not leave any stone unturned to make sure the industry learns from this tragic incident."
Since the crash, AirAsia had carried out 51 measures to improve safety standards, the report said.
Meanwhile,
an Airbus spokesman said: "Airbus has just received the final accident
report. We are now carefully studying its content. With safety being top
priority Airbus is fully committed to push the safety track record of
our industry even further."

Only 106 bodies have been retrieved
Families of the 162 people on board AirAsia flight QZ8501 have been waiting anxiously for the results of this investigation.
Indonesian
investigators did not release their preliminary findings earlier this
year, saying they were under no legal obligation to do so.
Covering
the crash at the time, the working theory was that pilot error must
have been a major contributor, or that bad weather was a factor.
But
this report shows that it was actually the response of the crew to a
chronically faulty component on the plane that caused the plane to crash
and that bad weather had nothing to do with it.
AirAsia will now
have many questions to answer about why the aircraft was not better
maintained and why its pilots were not better prepared to handle these
problems.
Read more: Who were the victims of the AirAsia crash?
The plane's wreckage was found days after the crash at the bottom of the Java Sea near Borneo.
Most
of the passengers were Indonesian, and others on board included a
French citizen, a Singaporean, a Malaysian, a Briton, and three South
Koreans.
Only 106 bodies have been retrieved so far.
The
crash came at the end of a year of major air disasters, including the
disappearance of MH370 and the shooting down of MH17- both flights
operated by Malaysia Airlines.
Are you interested in a lady?,do you wish to catch her attention?,then below are four amazing ways to get her 100% attention to you: 1. Wear your 'Favourites' -Though I'm more of a soap and water kind of guy,whenever I take my wife on a date,I wear the cologne she bought me,"says Brandon Heller,32. "The smell always gets her attention.I'll also put on a shirt she got me even if it's pastel." 2. Act like a 'Clown'-Dr. Scott Haltzman,author of The Secrets Of Happily Married Men:Eight Ways To Win Your Wife's Heart Forever,believes that in order to get attention from their wives,men need to do something slightly wacky. 'Getting into bed with tuxedo on,or roller skating through the house serving her dinner can generate a good laugh and reduce tensions,"he says.'People have set ideas of how things happen from day to day,and whenever a routine changes,you end up on high-alert for danger.When your partner realizes there!s no danger at all,the flush of adrenaline gets channeled towards gleefulness about your relationship." 3. Learn what works for her- Usually men start by resorting to things that don't work to get attention,but that would work great for them in reverse,"-Dr.Haltzman.'For instance,if a woman were to strip off all her clothes and prance across the room,a man would definitely tune in. Don't catch sooner or later that this wont work in reverse because women are not simply looking for hot bodies,but to connect in meaningful ways." 4.Flex your "EGO"-"When my wife and I are at the gym together,I ask her to spot me while on the bench press,"Geoff Gringas. 'I like to give her a close-up view while I'm doing a bit of showing off and it keeps her eyes off of all the other sweaty guys."Why does it work?,Dr. Jeremy Nicholson,the "Attraction Doctor",says that competing with other men especially at the gym is a key way that gents can stand out."The man who dominates other men often gets the attention of women .So, guys push,shove,and fight when ladies are around.Also compete hard at everything from small games to sports.This shows you can handle yourself,win resources and status from other men,and protect a woman."It may be a little old-fashioned,but hey,it's the truth. Thanks for stopping by,please help my team better by dropping your comments.
ctors handling the re-construction
of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Julius Berger Plc and Raynolds
Construction Company (Nigeria), are back on site in continuation of the
job.
Julius Berger’s men were seen working at
the Redemption Camp and Arepo areas at the Lagos end of the road on
Friday. But the work was more of a palliative as the firms only attended
to the failed sections of the road. No reconstruction or expansion was
done.
The News Agency of Nigeria also
indicated in a report on Sunday that while palliative work was ongoing
at the failed spots around the Redemption Camp area of the road, major
construction work was being done at the Arepo area.
The repair on the Arepo spot caused
gridlock on the Long Bridge on Friday and travellers spent about two
hours moving from the Berger Bus to Arepo, a distance that should take
less than seven minutes.
It was, however, not clear the role of
the Ogun State Government in the return of Julius Berger to the site. A
signpost erected by the state government was still at the Arepo spot as
of Sunday, showing that it was responsible for the palliative work.
Julius Berger is handling Section One of
the project, which stretches from the Sagamu Inter-Change to Lagos,
while RCC is in charge of Section Two, stretching from the Sagamu
Inter-Change to Ojoo, Ibadan.
Motorists have clamoured for an early completion of the road, which is about the busiest highway in the country.
A source at the Julius Berger end of the
road, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the company was
back on the road for good, saying: “It is time to move forward on the
project.”
The expected date for the completion of
the project, which is being financed through Public-Private Partnership,
is July 3, 2017.
Meanwhile, motorists and commuters who
use the road have continued to appeal to the Federal Government to speed
up work to make travelling on the road pleasurable.
A commercial vehicle driver plying the road daily, Ojo Agege, told NAN that it was high time the government ensured the speedy completion of the project.
Another commercial driver, Lateef
Mohammed, said motorists would continue to have nightmares on the road
until the Federal Government fixed it.
“All we are saying is that the
government should help to fast-track the construction of the road to
ease the delay being experienced daily by travellers,” he said.
A female trader, Simisola Joseph,
expressed optimism that with the coming of Babatunde Fashola as Power,
Works and Housing Minister, the construction would soon be completed.
A driver, Femi Ajegun, told NAN that vehicular movement was now easy with the completion of work on some critical areas at the Ibadan end of the road.
“With the quality of job done and
removal of long stretch of diversion by the RCC, motorists and
travellers now experience some pleasurable ride,” he said.
Sule Maito, a bus passenger, at Ogere area of the road, told NAN that if the contractor could continue with the way it was going, the job would be completed on schedule.
The Federal Ministry of Works last week,
after a meeting of stakeholders with the Presidency, said that the
government had committed N50bn to the project.
The ministry promised that no stone would be left unturned to ensure the completion of the rehabilitation on time.

Media captionTom Burridge reports from the street where police targeted the Paris attacks suspects
French
PM Manuel Valls has warned that France could face chemical or
biological attack from terror groups, as MPs debate extending the state
of emergency after the Paris attacks.
Belgian police have meanwhile raided properties linked to suspected Paris attackers Bilal Hadfi and Salah Abdeslam.
Seven raids took place in and around Brussels, and one person was detained, Belgian media reported.
Friday's attacks killed 129 people.
Image copyrightAFPImage caption
A sign near the site of Wednesday's Saint Denis raid reads: "Wholeheartedly with the police - thank you"
Mr Valls was addressing France's lower house of
parliament before its deputies voted to extend the state of emergency by
three months.
He told MPs that "terrorism hit France, not because of what it is doing in Iraq and Syria ... but for what it is".
"What is new are the ways of operating; the ways of attacking and killing are evolving all the time," the prime minister said.
"The
macabre imagination of those giving the orders is unlimited. Assault
rifles, beheadings, suicide bombers, knives or all of these at once."
Mr Valls also called for Europe to adopt measures on
sharing information about airline passengers as a way of protecting
collective security.
French police officers will be allowed to
carry their weapons while off duty as long as they wear an armband to
identify them, under a police directive issued to coincide with the
state of emergency.
Paris police have extended their ban on
gatherings and demonstrations until midnight on Sunday, although they
will be allowed at the various sites attacked last Friday.
It remains unclear whether the suspected ringleader of the attacks was killed in Wednesday's raid in Paris.
French
authorities say the raid on a flat in the northern suburb of Saint
Denis foiled another attack, reportedly planned for the La Defense
business quarter of western Paris.
Image copyrightAFPImage caption
At least two bodies were removed from the apartment in Saint Denis on Wednesday
Image copyrightEPAImage caption
The streets around the flat remained cordoned off on Thursday
Eight people were arrested in the raid, in which
police fired over 5,000 rounds of ammunition, but those arrested did not
include Abdelhamid Abaaoud - suspected of being the man who organised
the Paris attacks.
At least two people were killed in the raid, one of them a woman who blew herself up with a suicide vest.
She is widely reported to be Hasna Aitboulachen, a cousin of Abaaoud.

Further attacks by IS were likely elsewhere in Europe, according to the head of the EU's law enforcement agency Europol.
Rob
Wainwright was addressing MEPs in Brussels ahead of an emergency
meeting on Friday of EU interior ministers on the Paris attacks.
Most
of the raids in the Belgian capital on Thursday targeted properties in
Jette and Molenbeek connected to Bilal Hadfi, a Frenchman living in
Brussels who was one of the seven attackers killed in Paris, Belgian
broadcaster RTBF reported.
A further raid, at an address in the
Brussels district of Laeken, was linked to Salah Abdeslam - another of
the attackers, who is believed to be on the run - Belgian authorities
told the BBC.
However, the raids had been planned for some time and were not part of the manhunt, the prosecutor's office told Belgian media.
Following
Friday's attacks on a concert hall, cafes and the Stade de France
stadium, President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency for
12 days.
The bill voted through by France's lower house of parliament on Thursday and the senate on Friday includes:
Extending the state of emergency for three months
Placing under house arrest anyone deemed to be a public threat
Barring suspects from communicating with each other
Allowing police to carry out searches
at any time, without the prior approval of a judge, if the public is
thought to be in danger
Meanwhile the Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has
announced an extra €400m (£280m) of funding for anti-terror measures
following the Paris attacks.
He told the Belgian parliament that
he did not accept criticisms of Belgium's security services ahead of the
Paris attacks, which France has said were prepared in Belgium.
IS
said it had carried out the attacks in response to France's air
campaign against its positions in Syria, and pledged further bloodshed.
France has since stepped up its air strikes against IS targets in Syria.
Both
France and Russia - which is also targeting militants in Syria - are
putting together draft resolutions at the UN Security Council that would
lay out an international approach to defeating IS.
President Hollande has urged the council to approve a resolution on fighting IS quickly.

Finally, the time has come! ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part
2’s Hollywood premiere is here and we are so excited! The whole cast
headed to LA for the big even and JLaw looks better than ever in this
stunning white dress. What do you guys think of her look?
It is finally here everyone, our favorite cast has finally come back to the states to premiere their new film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and we couldn’t be more excited! While everyone looked fabulous, it was Jennifer Lawrence, 25, that stole the show
yet again at the Microsoft Theater on Nov. 16 in L.A. Her white couture
gown was perfect for a glitzy Hollywood red carpet event.
J-Law always looks amazing at
the premieres so we weren’t surprised in the slightest that she showed
up in this fabulous number. She wowed on the red carpet in Los Angeles
in a long white, sleeveless gown with shiny gold-leafed accents around
the edge of her shoulders. She showed off a plunging neckline, but in a
more demure way with sheer scalloped paneling down the front of her
dress. She left her short blonde locks wavy and added bright red
lipstick to up the glamour status. In short, she looked a-maz-ing!
