Tiger attack woman ........on Halloween night......

Breaking into a Nebraska zoo to "pet" a tiger has left a woman with injuries from the big cat and a citation for criminal trespass.

Jacqueline Eide, 33, apparently evaded security to sneak into Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo on Halloween night.

She was bitten Sunday morning and taken to Creighton University Medical Center by a friend, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement Sunday.

Officers were later called "regarding a disturbance" at the hospital. "Eide was aggressive toward staff and showed signs of intoxication of alcohol and/or drugs," police said.

"Through investigation, it was learned that Eide had made unauthorized entry into the Zoo to pet a tiger. When she reached into the cage, she was bitten causing severe trauma to her hand," police said

The zoo said two people had trespassed "after hours on Halloween night," one of whom had been injured.

"The tiger believed to have been involved in the incident was Mai, an 18-year-old, Malayan tiger," it said.

The zoo's executive director, Dennis Pate, said that the safety and security of its guests were a priority.

"Emergency phone numbers are printed on maps for guests to call in case of an emergency, and security staff keep watch on grounds around the clock," he said.

Ancelotti could replace Mourinho......

Chelsea could make a move to ditch Jose Mourinho if he doesn't turn things around at Stamford Bridge in the next two games - and replace him with Carlo Ancelotti.

Mourinho has overseen six defeats in Chelsea's first 11 Premier League games of the season to leave them in 15th place, 14 points off league leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, after the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool yesterday.

The Special One is now facing a fight to keep his job less than six months after guiding the club to their first title since 2011 - won under Ancelotti.

According to ESPN, Mourinho will be out of the job if he doesn't guide Chelsea to victories in the Champions League against Dynamo Kiev, and in the Premier League against Stoke. The club's board had previously given Mourinho a vote of confidence but ESPN claims that extends only up to the international break, and if results haven't improved before then he will be out on his ear.

Ancelotti is the most likely replacement having been let go by Real Madrid over the summer. The Italian, who also guided Chelsea to the FA Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge, is believed to be keen on a return, even if it was only on a temporary basis to start with.

6,600 federal inmates to be released this weekend

The biggest federal inmate release on record will take place this weekend.

About 6,600 inmates will be released, with 16,500 expected to get out the first year. More than 40,000 federal felons could be released early over the next several years, the U.S. Sentencing Commission said.

Man jailed for forwarding text message containing a joke about president Mugabe

A 38-year-old Zimbabwean man named Titus Maposa has been jailed for forwarding a joke on Mugabe to all his neighbours. According to Manica Post newspaper, Maposa's neighbours sent the text message to the police and he was arrested.

The offending joke was a message falsely attributed to Ecocash, Zimbabwe's mobile money transfer scheme, which said the president had deposited $1 500 (R20 745) into their account.

 

The newspaper said the message read:

     "Ecocash Transfer Confirmation: 1,500 US from Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Thank you for supporting ZANU-PF."

 

Maposa was being charged under a section of Zimbabwe's Postal and Telecommunications Act prohibiting the sending of messages the sender "knows to be false."

 

The report said Maposa insisted he did not mean to make his neighbours "anxious or nervous".

     "I was intending to share a social media joke," he said.

 

Although Maposa was not being prosecuted under Zimbabwe's infamous anti-insult laws, it remains a crime to insult Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980. Arrests are frequently reported under these laws, often for comments made on social media site.

"I was not aware of my son until he was two" - Wande Coal

This is serious o! Wande Coal's old time girlfriend had a baby for him secretly and he didn't get to know of the situation until five years ago, when the boy was already two years and he has made some money. It's more like if he didn't make money from his music career the lady would not have brought the kid?

Below is what Wande said about his son who is now 7yrs old:

‘Well, I didn’t know I had a kid till he was 2 years old. When they brought him to me, he already looked like me. So when I found out, I knew I had to do something about it and then I took him to my mum and she’s been taking care of him’.

“Some Africans are lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and Stealing” – Donald Trump

Once again, US business magnate Donald Trump has expressed his deep disgust for Africans by referring to them as lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery. Speaking in Indianapolis, Trump who is also the republican Presidential torch bearer reiterated his promise to deport Africans especially those of Kenyan origin including their son Barrack Obama.

“African Americans are very lazy. The best they can do is gallivanting around ghettoes, lamenting how they are discriminated. These are the people America doesn’t need. They are the enemies of progress. Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries. From the government to opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required. How do you trust even those who have ran away to hide here at the United States hiding behind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side. These are people who import everything including matchsticks. In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self governance” Explained Donald Trump bitterly as he illuminated how he plans to reconstruct America and restore its lost glory.

“I promise to make America great again by restoring our dignity that we have since lost through Obama. The more reason why I still believe that he, and his Kenyan brothers and sisters should be deported back to Kenya to make America safe”

Sources have indicated that Trump’s thrush did not augur well with the Carson Camp and they have since distanced themselves from Trump words

Yemi Osinbajo says government is working to reduce the price of petroleum

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says that the government is working to reduce the price of petroleum products by encouraging and working with private refineries and reducing importation. Osinbajo, who is in the UK to sign the Nigeri a-UK solar energy agreement, told Bloomberg in an interview... 

" We are going to be unbundling the NNPC so that its various components are effective core centres and are able to do their business well. We are going to have private refineries at the site of the old refineries, so they can benefit from the available infrastructure. So, we think that in the medium term, we would be able to get cheaper pump price, pump price of oil would be cheaper because we would be importing far less refined petroleum. A lot of that will be produced locally.

“Now, we have well over 30 modular refineries licences, so we think a lot of modular refineries would come. Many of them, their major concern is feed stock, are we going to be guaranteed feed stock? We are working on that. Once we are able to deal with that, we feel we would substantially be able to reduce pump price and get the whole business of importation of refined petroleum and the NNPC just getting directly involved in business; we are going to reduce that. The objective is to make the NNPC play more regulatory function.

“They are options that are always there. But we think that there are ways we can raise our own potion of contribution to the Joint Ventures. It will only be a last resort and we have not come anywhere near that.” Osinbajo said
