At a press conference on Saturday, Khalid al-Falih also said the number of people injured had risen to 934 during the crush in the tent city of Mina while on their way to perform a ritual on the first day of Eid.

Australia Denies Chris Brown Visa Over Rihanna Beating

Australian immigration minister Peter Dutton has revealed that singerChris Brown has been denied a visa on character grounds.

The denial stems from Chris Brown’s violence against then girlfriendRihanna in 2009, and he has 28 days to appeal the decision.

“People to whom these notices are issued have 28 days to present material as to why they should be given a visa to enter Australia,” the minister said.

“Decisions on whether a visa will or will not be issued are made after that timeframe and consideration of the material presented to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.”

The country’s women minister,Michaelia Cash, doesn’t want the singer in Australia, and would be doing her best to prevent him from coming.

“I can assure you that the minister for immigration and border protection will be looking at this very, very seriously,” she said.

“I am clearly not going to pre-empt a decision by the minister, however, I can assure you what my strong recommendation would be.”

Cash added: “People need to understand if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, ‘You cannot come in because you are not of the character we expect in Australia,’ and certainly, without pre-empting the decision of the minister, I can assure you it is something that the minister is looking at.”

"You're my rubicon Dubem. The one that awaited at my curve. God's gift this month, my birthday, to prove to me beyond every shadow of doubt of his existence. His dominion. His finality. I worship him in the quiet moments in the early AMs when the world sleeps and I sit by your crib staring at you silent tears running down my tired unshaven cheeks. Gratitude and humility frozen in time, lost in our world despite the fact I get less than two hours sleep nightly. (It will get weird as you get older lol) You see I have witnessed Jehovah's greatest Miracle. My life has changed irrevocably. Forever. I've being reborn through your birth, my beautiful boy. I embarrass myself in the most random of places when I tear up at the sight of a father and a young son doing the most random of chores.

So alien! So natural! Fatherhood is the most elite of clubs and I am its proudest member. Thank you, my beautiful boy, for inspiring me to write the longest post of my IG life.lol No occasion can replicate this event so I crave your indulgence everyone. Hey world! May I have the greatest honour of introducing my King, My Boss, My Son, My EVERYTHING! HARVIS CHIDUBEM IYKE. Our life long gratitude and love to my true sisters Dr Chi and Dr Nkechi for all your dedication and commitment to Dana and my baby bear. You guys are impossibly kind and generous. Dr Crawford you are on top of your game.

 There's no finer obstetrician in the land hands down. To My ever supportive lovely sisters, Fab, Akhila, T. Azubike, Nurse Minestine at Grady Hospital again words fail me. Only God can repay you for all your kindness. Dana and I are grateful.Thank u. Thank u. To my amazing fans; they say it takes a village to raise a child. You've been a fortitude of blessing in my life. We only ask that you extend even trice the courtesy to our Harvis. God bless u all. What more can I say, Happy one year younger Jim, my boy! This year is the year of legacies. It's my best birthday ever. God always always most certainly WINS!! Welcome to my world boy! Welcome to IG! PhotoCred; Supergirl. It's been a friggin documentary. I don't wanna miss a blink! �� #GladysBoiz #HarvisPaPa #EarthStrongChronicles"

 "Son, A few weeks ago I recall kissing your mom's sweaty brows as I encouraged Her to push and push harder intermittently. I recall her growing weaker by the minute, her fingers clutching my shoulders in a death grip, her intense green eyes staring deep into my core with that singular resolve only women in labor possess. I asked Doc Crawford for the honour of pulling you out of your mom which she granted without wasting a heartbeat and also gave me the charge of cutting the umbilical cord. You see against every ethos of her practice she sensed a higher purpose beyond this realm; a symbolic need for me to perform this final task to weld you and I, father and son, into one single entity. I have a propensity for nicknames son. I've pretty much covertly or overtly nicknamed everything in my life. Your mom is Supergirl.

Well now Superwoman. I promise you by no stretch is her nickname far fetched. She's the combination of great looks, brains, grace and sheer guts! She's got more balls let alone mental strength, than most men I know; present company included. I'll save the story of her commitment and dedication on this journey for perhaps another day lol. I don't know where our path will take us tomorrow but it had to be her. It was predestined to be. She's taken to motherhood like fish to water. I'm indebted for life sweetheart. The finest poets and wordsmiths has written all there is to write about a father's love for a son. 

My oratorical or literal prowess can never match theirs no matter how hard I try now or later. But no one alive or dead can or will match what I hold in my heart. My propensity and strength is in my heart son, always have been. Many times when events and words fail me my heart lifts me with the weight of its content. You see I have witnessed Jehovah's greatest Miracle. My love for you is in the moment that froze as I held you in my hands for the first time and I thought my heart had stopped beating. It's in the pride as people swoon over you in public places, gushing about how utterly beautiful you are. I've googled everything from how to change diapers to how to soothe you to sleep. Yes we have become apt and true disciples of Google lol."

Why I would rather marry a white man-Juliet Ibrahim

Actress Juliet Ibrahim says she is no longer interested in marrying a Ghanaian man after her marriage with her ex husband, Kwadwo Safo crashed a few years ago. The award winning actress says that she struggles with African men because of their African mentality.

The mentality according to her, holds them back from dating a public figure.

“Friends of these men even jump into the equation—hastily labeling all actresses as wh*res based on what they’ve read online. And some of the men I have met actually get cold feet because of such unfounded speculations,” the actress said.

According to her, she is not over dating a black man as long as she can find one who understands her career and lifestyle.

“For me it’s not about the colour of a man’s skin but his mind. The reason why I think a white man will work for me is because their mentality fits my lifestyle and my career but if I meet a black man who sits well with my wants and expectations, I will jump for it.”

I slept on bare floor for 4 days –Falae narrates his ordeal with kidnappers

AFTER over 72 hours in captivity, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, on Thursday, regained his freedom.

Falae was handed over to his family by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, who was in company with the Assistant Inspector General of Police for the zone, Mrs Kalafite Adeyemi and the state Police Commissioner, Mike Ogbodu, after he was rescued from his abductors.

Falae,  who looked frail and weary, was said to have explained that he slept on bare floor for four days during his stay in the kidnappers’ den.

While recounting his experience, Falae told some government officials who visited his home, including the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, that the kidnappers felt insulted over the N2 million the family promised as ransom, saying they rejected it and told him that “is it Boko Haram you are giving N2 million to?”

Falae was ushered into his residence by jubilant Akure residents, including friends, family, associates and people of Ilu Abo town, hailing the security operatives for securing the release of the former finance minister.

Yoruba actress, Funke Adesiyan thinks Omotola is too old to wear crop top

Nollywood actress and politician, Funke Adesiyan, has defended her friend and colleague, Bimbo Thomas, who was criticised few days ago for wearing a swimsuit to a beach in Miami.

Funke, who dream of becoming a lawmaker in the Oyo State House of Assembly in 2015 ended at the primary of her party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stressed that her friend was being picked on for reasons she cannot still explain.

According to her, Omotola Ekeinde, who should have been lambasted for wearing an outfit her daughter should have worn, was praised by the media.

Funke said, “I have read different blogs call my friend Bimbo Thomas different names for wearing a swimsuit to a beach, will she wear 'agbada' or what? I am confused, Omotola Jalade, a mother of four, wore a crop top, a style she should have left to her daughter and hypocrites hailed her as stunning. What could be more inappropriate?

"We will do better by being real. Real time, real people. Bimbo is a beautiful person inside out. Sometimes her level of confidence almost intimidate me (believe me, not many people can intimidate me).

"Leave celebrities alone. We are humans too. We deserve every bit of happiness that comes our way. As for me, I make myself happy irrespective of how they make people feel. I am me and very original at it. Bimbo, please rock on and post more amazing pictures from your holiday.”

OPC founder, Fasehun says Falae’s kidnap is a ‘political issue’

Founder of the Oodua People’s Congress, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, believes that the kidnap of a former presidential aspirant, Olu Falae- is politically motivated.

Fasehun, has also ordered OPC members to find Falae, who was abducted in his farm, in Akure, on Monday.

The OPC leader said that he had a special connection with Falae, owing to the fact that they were both born on September 21.

Fasehun further stated that Falae’s kidnap was a slap on the Yoruba people, and he also urged security operatives and agencies to rescue him within 48 hours.

In the statement, he said he had ordered OPC operatives to “immediately launch a manhunt, combing all nooks and crannies of Ondo State and beyond, for the kidnapped politician.”

“We believe this is a political issue. And any politician in Nigeria must make sure that Chief Olu Falae is released immediately. Otherwise, the OPC will take any step available to defend its own.”

“Over 24 hours after this disruption of the life of a dignitary, the government has not issued any statement; rather what we hear is a loud silence from the Federal Government. It is a shame; it is a big shame.”

Man rips out lover’s intestines for screaming out ex-husband’s name during sex(Photo)

One Fidel Lopez, 24, has been charged before a Florida Court for murdering his girlfriend identified as Maria Nemeth and removing her intestine with his bare hands after she screamed her ex-husband’s name twice during sex.

Lopez was arrested and charged with a first degree murder.

Florida police reports that Lopez who confessed to the crime said he became angry when she called out the name of her former husband while having sex at their Sunrise apartment’s wardrobe in Florida.

The police further said the 24-year-old revealed that in his anger, he shattered a sliding glass door with which he used in mutilating the 31-year-old Nemeth, who was lying unconscious on the floor before using his hands to remove her intestine.

The incident which happened on Sunday saw Lopez carrying her body to the bathroom and splashing water on her face in an attempt to revive her after which he was said to have called 911 complaining that his girlfriend was not breathing.

On arrival at the scene of the incident, paramedics were said to have found the 24-year-old crying over the Nemeth’s naked body lying in the pool of her blood, the police revealed.

According to the report, Lopez while been interrogated by the police noted that he and the deceased had been drinking tequila in their apartment and at some point began to have sex, noting that she asked him to insert a beer bottle inside her.

Lopez added that at some point she went into the bathroom to vomit, adding that he had to call 911 when he observed that she was having trouble breathing.

The report further stated that the 24-year-old later changed his story saying he became angry when the deceased cried out her ex-husband’s name while they were having sex. This he said led to him attacking her and carrying out the evil act.
