TRIPOLI, Libya — More than 1,000 detainees escaped from a
prison near the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi in a massive jailbreak
Saturday, officials said, as protesters stormed political party offices
in Libya's main cities.
It wasn't immediately clear if the jailbreak at the al-Kweifiya
prison came as part of the demonstrations. Protesters had massed across
the country angry over the killing of an activist critical of the
country's Muslim Brotherhood group.
Gunmen outside of the prison fired into the air as inmates
inside began setting fires, suggesting the jailbreak was preplanned, a
Benghazi-based security official said. Those who escaped either face or
were convicted of serious charges, a security official at al-Kweifiya
prison said.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to speak to journalists.

of skin attached to its movable ribs to form “wings” that it uses to
glide from tree to tree over distances upwards of 8 metres (26 ft);
however, like all modern reptiles, it lacks the ability to sustain
powered flight, and is capable only of gliding.

CAIRO -- Security forces clashed with supporters of Egypt's ousted
president early Saturday, killing at least 65 protesters, the Health
Ministry said, in the country's bloodiest incidence of violence since
the military deposed Mohammed Morsi.
In chaotic scenes, pools of blood stained the floor and bodies were
lined up under white sheets in a makeshift hospital near the site of the
battles in eastern Cairo as doctors struggled to cope with the flood of
dozens of wounded.
The extent of the carnage underlined the willingness of
police to unleash deadly firepower against any expansion of Islamist-led
protests demanding the reinstatement of Morsi. Military-backed
authorities are feeling emboldened after millions turned out for
nationwide rallies Friday called by the army chief in support
It was a final chance to
say goodbye for grieving mother Kate Ogg after doctors gave up hope of
saving her premature baby. She tearfully told her lifeless son – born at
27 weeks weighing 2lb – how much she loved him and cuddled him tightly,
not wanting to let him go. Although little Jamie’s twin sister Emily
had been delivered successfully, doctors had given Mrs Ogg the news all
mothers dread – that after 20 minutes of battling to get her son to
breathe, they had declared him dead. Having given up on a
miracle, Mrs Ogg unwrapped the baby from his blanket and held him
against her skin. And then an extraordinary thing happened. After two
hours of being hugged, touched and spoken to by his mother, the

Attempts
by the Senate to address public outcry against retention of section 29
(4) (b) of the 1999 Constitution, which stipulates that “any woman who
is married in Nigeria is of full age,” has hit a brickwall. The
lawmakers are now divided along religious lines, Daily Sun gathered
yesterday.
The Upper Chamber is reportedly divided into
three camps comprising Muslims, Christians and those indifferent about
the retained constitutional provision.
Senate, it would seem,
appears helpless to redress the situation as those who want the chamber
to revisit the issue are in the minority, it was learnt yesterday.
The
Senator Ike Ekweremadu-led Constitution Review Committee (CRC)
recommended that section 29 (4) (b) which states that, “any woman who is
married, shall be deemed to be of full age” be deleted from the

She, however, withdrew from the course in her first year. She embraced
Islam on February 15, 2013. A’isha said since her family relocated to

accorded her the opportunity to have several Muslims

As we move slowly but steadily to the era of elections in Nigeria, KD Blog observed that President Goodluck Jonathan is no longer keeping quiet to allegations and accusations from opponents.
“It is Nyako, who is ungrateful to Mr. President. He did not know how the PDP came about. He was in the opposition All Peoples Party when he was brought in and handed the ticket to become governor of Adamawa State."
Days after he replied those threatening to bury the PDP, a party that is
under his control, Jonathan has again joined issues with Governor of

Lagos for allegedly stabbing a retailer, Umoru Musa, over N10 cigarette.Oyebanji
was charged with assault and refusing to pay for a stick of cigarette

flattery is hardly a virtue. Obviously, this freedom makes me happy
indeed but your motive, at least the perceived it, tore my heart to
shreds. I heard it is all about 2015, and not that I was unfairly

In a test of African harmony – beyond just unity, – this week’s Africa wide BBA eviction vote is the inter-regional popular battle you may never see again since the recent acrimonious AU inter-governmental election brought Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to the top office in Addis Abeba.
For the first time, there are only three on the eviction ballot and they are from the three most influential sub-regional blocks south of the Sahara: Elikem (Ghana, WA), Annabel (Kenya, EA), Sulu (Zambia, SnA). With inklings of geopolitical jostling and amid raging passionate and acrimonious debates online and on BBA TV news bar, plus with evident voting along national and sub-regional lines irrespective of housemates’ personal qualities, Africa is thus put to test over which sub-region’s population actually carries sway and how

False memories have been implanted into mice, scientists say. A team was able to make the mice wrongly associate a benign environment with a previous unpleasant experience from different surroundings.The researchers conditioned a network of neurons to respond to light, making the mice recall the unpleasant environment. Reporting in Science, they say it could one day shed light into how false memories occur in humans. The brains of genetically engineered mice were implanted with optic fibres in order to deliver pulses of light to their brain. Known as optogenetics, this technique is able to make individual neurons respond to light.
Our memory changes every single time it's being recorded. That's why we can incorporate new information

you expect me to introduce the lady I am dating? Back to your question, I
have somebody, yes. That’s all. Like I said, I have somebody but I won’t tell you her name.
Abia State governor
Theodor Orji had claimed that acclaimed journalist Don Norman Obinna
who has shown the horrible state that the state is in was trying to
extort money from the state government.
Well we now have photographic depiction of the real deplorable condition of the state now through the lens of the journalist.
The
photos display the state of public infrastructure and falsifies the
claims made by Governor T.A Orji's claims that infrastructure and
developement in the state is very good.
The correspondence, which
included over eighty photographs detailing the actual gravity of the
state’s situation and an extensive questionnaire sent to Orji by Obinna,
provides insight into the issue in Abia State, and offers a drastically
opposing viewpoint to that of the one published by the state’s Chief
Press Secretary.
