Court finds Charles Taylor Guilty of Aiding War Crimes


charles taylor verdict

International judges have found former Liberian leader Charles Taylor guilty of aiding and abetting war crimes during the Sierra Leone civil war.Taylor, 64, has been on trial in The Hague at a UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone for almost five years.
He was accused of backing rebels who killed tens of thousands during Sierra Leone’s 1991-2002 civil war.
Taylor was convicted of 11 counts including terror, murder and rape – but cleared of ordering the crimes.
Taylor is the first former head of state convicted by an international court since the Nuremburg military tribunal of Nazis after World War II.
Human rights groups described the judgement as historic.”This is an incredibly significant decision,” Elise Keppler from the campaign group Human Rights Watch told the BBC.
Rights group Amnesty International said the verdict sent an important message to all high-ranking state officials.
“While today’s conviction brings some measure of justice to the people of Sierra Leone, Taylor and the others sentenced by the Special Court are just the tip of the iceberg,” the group’s Brima Abdulai Sheriff said in a statement.
Chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis told the BBC that those responsible for atrocities “can no longer feel safe that they can hide behind important positions of authority”.
Reading out the verdict in The Hague, Judge Richard Lussick said Taylor had been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt in connection with 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Those included terror, murder, rape, and conscripting child soldiers, he added.
Judge Lussick said that as Liberian leader, Taylor had extended “sustained and significant” support to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
The judge said the accused had sold diamonds and bought weapons on behalf of the RUF – and knew the rebels were committing crimes.
But Judge Lussick added that this support fell short of effective command and control over the rebels.
“The trial chamber finds the accused cannot be held responsible for ordering the crimes,” he said.
He also said the prosecution had failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Taylor was part of a joint criminal enterprise.
A sentence hearing will be held on 16 May, with the sentence to be handed down on 30 May, he added.
Taylor is expected to serve his sentence in a British prison as the Dutch government only agreed to host the trial if any ensuing jail term was served in another country.
Mr Taylor, a warlord in the 1980s and early 1990s, was elected president of Liberia in 1997 following a peace deal than ended a brutal civil war.
He governed for six years before being forced into exile in Nigeria following a second conflict.
In 2006 he was arrested, repatriated to Liberia and eventually sent to The Hague to be tried.

Photos – The girl who must eat every 15 minutes to Stay alive

Lizzie Velasquez

Lizzie Velasquez weighs just four stone and has almost zero per cent body fat but she is not anorexic.In fact, the 21-year-old from Austin, Texas, must eat every 15 minutes to stay healthy.




Miss Velasquez has a rare condition which prevents her from gaining weight even though she eats up to 60 small meals a day.Despite consuming between 5,000 and 8,000 calories daily, the communications student, has never tipped over 4st 3lbs.”I weigh myself regularly and if I gain even one pound I get really excited,” said 5ft 2 ins Miss Velasquez, who wears size triple zero clothes.

“I eat every 15-20 minutes to keep my energy levels up.
“I eat small portions of crisps, sweets, chocolate, pizza, chicken, cake, doughnuts, ice cream, noodles and pop tarts all day long, so I get pretty upset when people accuse me of being anorexic.”
She was born four weeks prematurely weighing just 2lb 10oz. Doctors found there was minimal amniotic fluid protecting her in the womb.

“They told us they had no idea how she could have survived,” said Miss Velasquez’s mother Rita, 45, a church secretary.
Doctors speculated Lizzie might have the genetic disorder De Barsy syndrome but soon ruled it out as it became clear she did not have learning difficulties.

“They kept on trying to figure out what was wrong with her but we treated her like any other child,” said Mrs Velasquez, who charted her daughter’s health in dozens of notebooks.
She was taken to see genetic experts but they still could not diagnose her.
Miss Velasquez’s case has fascinated doctors all over the world and she is part of a genetic study run by Professor Abhimanyu Garg, MD, at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Professor Garg and his team now believe Lizzie may have a form of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (NPS) which causes accelerated ageing, fat loss from the face and body, and tissue degeneration. People with PRS often have triangular and prematurely aged faces with a pointy nose.
He said: “I am aware of a small number of people that have similar conditions to Lizzie but each case is slightly different.

“We cannot predict what will happen to Lizzie in the future as the medical community are yet to document older people with NPS.
“However Lizzie is lucky to have healthy teeth, organs and bones so the outlook is good. We will continue to study her case and learn from her.”

Miss Valasquez has helped to write a book about her incredible experiences. It  is due to be released in september.

People mistake me for Ini Edo – Zimbabwean Journalist Fact Dizira Jeke

Fact Jeke
 
It was time for dinner and the setting was the restaurant of a hotel on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa, where journalists from some African countries had converged for the test-drive of the new Land Rover Discovery 4. Then walked in a well built, long hair lady with a deep voice.
The Zimbabwean, Fact Dizira Jeke, had hardly sat down when her presence changed the course of what was hitherto a discordant chat, as almost all the Nigerians at the large table felt she looked like someone back home – the Nollywood actress, Ini Edo.
She admitted that she had been told many times that she looks like the Nigerian lady, and went on to recall her experiences in far away Hong-Kong and in her country, where she has been mobbed by autograph-seeking fans of Ini Edo who mistook her for the actress.


But seriously, "make una help me judge this mata, shey this babe resemble Ini Edo at all?"

She said: ‘I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels.

Whitney Houston Still Shines in New Sparkle Movie Poster


Sparkle Poster 


Whitney Houston tragically passed away just over two months ago, but the singer-actress is going to light up the silver screen one final time.
On Thursday, a new movie poster for Sparkle, a reboot of the 1976 film, was released. In the film, Houston, who was 48 at the time of her death, plays the mother of three girls who form a singing group.
Although the close-up of Houston's face is radiant, it's Jordin Sparks who shines front and center on the poster.
Houston told Access Hollywood last year that she took on a motherly role towards Sparks, 22.

"I can remember doing The Bodyguard, my first movie, and I was petrified," she said. "I just know that there's some time of trepidation and some nervousness…But Jordan has it down. Trust me."
The late singer said she'd give Sparks "mommy hugs" because "the vibe we set behind the scenes is what you'll see on the screen. That's what's really important."
Houston's real-life daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is set to make her acting debut in Tyler Perry's upcoming sitcom.
Sparkle opens nationwide Aug. 17.

Blasts rip through newspaper offices in Nigeria, at least 6 killed (PHOTOS)





Live picture of the ThisDay Building bomb blast published by MCMrLucas on Twitter
TAGS: Africa, Terrorism, Mass media, Blast

Bombs targeting the offices of a major Nigerian newspaper have gone off in the capital Abuja and the northern city of Kaduna. Emergency officials say at least six people were killed in the twin attacks.
­A spokesman for the Nigerian Red Cross said a suicide bomber crashed through the front gates of the ThisDay office in Abuja in an explosive-laden vehicle and hit the newspaper’s reception area.
The chairman of the This Day editorial board Olusogen Adeniyi told Reuters reports at least three people were killed in the blast. 

"The suicide bomber came in a jeep and rammed a vehicle into the gate," Olusogen said."Two of our security men died, and the obviously suicide bomber died too."
Government officials say they are trying to get the wounded to hospital. Five members of the newspaper's staff were also reportedly injured. 
Three people were also reportedly killed when an explosion rocked the paper's office in the strife-ridden northern city of Kaduna.
A car loaded with explosives also attempted to target the office in Kaduna, though eyewitnesses report that people working at the newspaper quickly surrounded the vehicle.
Jemilu Abdullahi told AP the driver began shouting there was a bomb inside the car. Upon being allowed to open the trunk, the driver took a device and lobbed it at the crowd, which exploded, Abdullahi said. He also claims at least three died in the attack.
Adeniyi said he had received information on a potential bomb terrorist attack back in January and reported it to security agencies. However, he did not realize ThisDay was specifically being targeted.
The newspaper is known for its support of current President Goodluck Jonathan, a primary target for the Islamist Boko Haram movement. While the group has been held responsible for some 900 deaths over the past two years, no one has claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attacks.

STRANGE DEATHS IN HISTORY

Death by Embracing the Reflection of the Moon
Chinese poet Li Po (701-706) is regarded as one of the two greatest poets in China’s literary history. He was well known for his love of liquor and often spouted his greatest poems while drunk.
One night, Li Po fell from his boat and drowned in the Yangtze River while trying to embrace the reflection of the moon in the water.



Death by Beard
Austrian Hans Steininger was famous for having the world’s longest beard (it was 4.5 feet or nearly 1.4 m long) and for dying because of it.
One day in 1567, there was a fire in town and in his haste Hans forgot to roll up his beard. He accidentally stepped on his beard, lost balance, stumbled, broke his neck and died!



Death by Orange Peel


Bobby Leach [wiki] wasn’t afraid to court death: in 1911, he was the second person in the world to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. The daredevil went on to perform many other death-defying stunts, so his death is especially ironic.
One day while walking down a street in New Zealand, Leach slipped on a piece of orange peel. He broke his leg so badly it had to be amputated. Leach died due to complications that developed afterwards.


Death by Scarf
“Mother of modern dance” Isadora Duncan [wiki] was killed in 1927 by her trademark scarf she loved to wear: As the New York Times noted in its obituary of the dancer on 15 September 1927, “The automobile was going at full speed when the scarf of strong silk began winding around the wheel and with terrific force dragged Miss Duncan, around whom it was securely wrapped, bodily over the side of the car, precipitating her with violence against the cobblestone street. She was dragged for several yards before the chauffeur halted, attracted by her cries in the street. Medical aid was summoned, but it was stated that she had been strangled and killed instantly.”



LMAO....THESE DEATHS ARE FUNNY BUT TRUE....FOR MORE OF THESE STRANGE STORIES, KEEP CHECKING ALISA EMMA'S BLOG.....:*

Bishop Oyedepo faces N2bn suit for slapping church member

Bishop OyedepoThe popular pastor and founder of the Living Faith Christian Church International also known as Winners’ Chapel is being sued for N2b for slapping a young girl last year during a church service.
Premium Times reports that the law suit is coming from a Lagos based lawyer Robert Igbinedion who said he filed the suit on behalf of the young lady, at the Ogun State High Court ‘for the enforcement of the lady’s fundamental rights to freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment, human dignity, fair hearing, and freedom from discrimination.’
Igbinedion, who is a solicitor at Salus Populi Chambers, and represented the victims of the celebrated Pastor Emeka Ezeugo (aka Reverend King) in 2006 is seeking an award of N2b as ‘general and exemplary damages’ against Oyedepo.’
‘If a wrong is done to the young lady, she is bound to receive justice for that wrong. The respondent ( Oyedepo) made the alter call for witches to come out, he did not make a similar call for other categories of sinners like illicit drug dealers, contract inflators, fraudsters, adulterers, and fornicators in the church‘, Igbinedion explained.
In the suit, Igbinedion said that the young lady, while answering an ‘illegal’ alter call, was trying to explain herself when the pastor gave her ‘a dirty and thunderous slap.’
In December 2011, a video of Oyedepo slapping a teenage girl during church service for saying she is ‘a witch for Jesus’ appeared on video sharing website YouTube and soon went viral accumulating over 69,000 views.
Days later, another video appeared on YouTube with Oyedepo saying, ‘People now complain on the Internet that I slapped a witch.  If I see another one, I’ll slap.’

24yrs Old Sayo Akinyemi Killed For Defecating Inside A School


 
The 24 years old Sayo Akinyemi, was an apprentice in an aluminum-smelting workshop at Oke-Ado area of Ibadan is dead. His target was to raise money to fund his education. As the only male child out of the three children in his family. Sayo was killed recently by a land speculator for defecating on the latter’s family land in the area. The incident happened on Wednesday March 4.

The deceased had, on the fateful day, gone to the premises of Methodist Grammar School, Oke-Ado, to defecate. That was where he allegedly met his untimely death in the hands of one Olabode (other name withheld), a land speculator in the area. Olabode, had reportedly accosted Sayo and asked him to pay for using the school land as a toilet, a demand the latter reportedly rebuffed, arguing that the land in question was owned by the government. The argument resulted in a fight in which the late Sayo overpowered and defeated his challenger. But Olabode reportedly rushed from the scene to get a screwdriver with which he allegedly stabbed Sayo in the waist.

Sayo was immediately rushed to two different hospitals before he was admitted at the Catholic Hospital, Eleta in Ibadan. He, however, died before he could be treated.

The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Olabisi Okuwobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, while confirming the incident, said Olabode would soon be charged to court for murder by the state police command

 Today is a very special day for my friend Chinedu and i want to use this medium to wish him a wonderful and fun filled day.

Of course the usual thing for bb users is to use the picture of the celebrant as the display picture for the day. well, that's what i did; i didn't know i would be causing "wahala" for myself oh. my phone kept on buzzing as people on my contact kept asking questions about who the guy in my "DP" is.

I got questions like "is he a model?"



 And of course i got comments from looootttttsss of ladies..."whew" comments like "he's so cute" "he's sexy" "oh, can i have his pin" "tell him I'm tripping" "his dreads tho...i love it"....and they went on and on and on... rme



 The guys where not silent. Their major concern was to find out if he is my boo (lol) while some just expressed jealousy. But the weirdest comment i received from a guy was "he is so pretty" O_O... and i was like "huh?...u gay?" (lmao)


Anyway, enough talks, the main point is, today is his birthday and i wanna say A very big happy birthday to one of the sexiest guys i know, Chinedu (SexyManDem) hahahaha....have a blast darling :*


ARE ALL MEN LIARS?



 ‘He is a liar, a cheat, I won’t be unfair if I call him a bastard, in fact there are no words that best describes bode, ah! In fact bode God punish you; you will ever live to regret what you have done to me, ah aah! In fact all men are the same, animals, fools, wolfs in sheep clothing, I have made up my mind, I will never ever ever! Love again’ Sonia yells as she sobs, her heart has just been smashed once again by bode.
    
   After countless heart breaks, Sonia felt she had found the man of her dream in bode, a man who she had dated for seven whole years, a man who promised her marriage, love care and attention, a man whom she believed in, a man who promised her the world, a man who to her, her life depended on. Where would she begin you might ask, how would she pick up the pieces of what’s left of her life, can she ever love again? Well surprisingly she sure can regardless of the number of disappointment she may have gone through. Although most women think this is impossible because she may have learned to hate, but believe you me she would love again.

  I am a woman and I have experienced heart break, I know how it feels. When I was heart broken, I felt lost, empty and hopeless, I felt my life had lost its meaning and there was nothing to live for, my constant prayer point was for my heavenly father to take my life and give it to someone else who needed it because I felt I didn’t need to breath any longer and when He didn’t respond, I thought of suicide, I wept day and night without food and without sleep, I suffered from constant headache because of how long I have been crying. When my friends and relatives came around me to console me, telling me how what happened was for the best and advised me to move on, I wailed the more and refused to accept it. The common statement was ‘stop crying, no man is worth your tears, especially him, forget him, God will give you someone better’ these words tore me to pieces, forget him? How? I can’t, that’s impossible, I love him, he is worth every single tear dropping from my eyes and there can never be anyone better than him, I want him and only him, I said as I continued to sob and when my mom hugged me to console me, I slumped and fainted, I woke up in the hospital two days later. You may be wondering,’ all these for what, for a man’ but you wouldn’t ask that if you have ever been truly in love. But was I ever able to love again? I will tell you about that later.

However, Most women are familiar with the saying; “all men are the same” even our dear Sonia said it during her moment of rage, as a matter of fact, most women feel wise when they say it and so they tell it very often. Most of the women that have this perception about men are those who have suffered heartbreak or maltreatment from the men they have come across or gotten involved with and this ordeal makes them believe in these words. We all have stories to back this up and most of the stories are so similar you would think they were done by the same man. I am not here to defend men but from personal experience and several research interviews I have conducted to get the personal opinion of certain people, I have uncovered that all men are actually not the same as some ladies think. Men are copious and their drives are different; those ladies that say all men are the same are merely expressing their own opinion and should not establish it as a fact. You cannot write away individual differences just because you met 10 men that you feel acted alike.

In conclusion, there are good men and there are bad men, just like there are good ladies and bad ladies-because we are all imperfect humans capable of making mistakes and not supreme beings who have no bad side. There are men who know how to love and show love and there are men who don’t. Ladies just because you keep coming across the bad ones doesn’t mean all men are bad and if you keep attracting the bad ones, you need to sit down and ask yourself why, there must be something you are doing wrong that repels the good men and attracts the bad ones, or something that turns the once upon a time good man into an animal as you now call him (just like the case of bode and Sonia, she once felt he was her all in all but after the break up, he became an animal). Maybe it’s in your character or physical traits; like the way you dress or something, just ask yourself questions and also seek the opinion of others around you. Besides even if 95% of men are bad, you shouldn’t draw on it to judge the remaining five percent by saying ‘all men are bad’. As for me, I have not found my Mr right yet but I have learned to love again and don’t fret my dear readers, when I find him, you will most certainly be the first to know (laughs). I leave you with this; for those ladies in a serious relationship, treat your man right. Sometimes ladies are actually the cause of their relationship problems due to bad character, they end up chasing their man away and then blaming him for leaving, but my dears, every man wants peace as much as every lady wants love and attention so be wise. And for those single searching ladies, look before you leap don’t just jump into the arms of any man that waves at you, be careful and be certain that the both of you are compatible and if you have 10 things that make up your ideal man and you find a man with eight out of 10, he tried, accept him don’t wait till you find a man with 10 out of 10, remember, there is no such thing as a perfect man.

Whenever I refuse him my salary, he says I don't love him

I'm a 27 year old doctor dating one engineer. I got a job where he works and he gave me a room to stay.

Here with him now, I discovered that he lied to me about things, including his salary. He doesn't have money for feeding and he's broke every month end.

He borrows from me and takes my money in my absence without paying back. He just told me he lost his job five months but that he didn't know how to tell me. He depends on my salary to foot his bills. Whenever I refuse he says I don't love him.

I need to hear from you guys

A HAVEN THAT NEVER LEAVES


In my times of confusion
You were not there
In my days of frustration
You were not there
In my moments of illusion
You were not there
In my hours of delusion
You were not there
You were never there
Or so I thought
Until you reached through the thickness of my doubt
And consoled me
Until you reached through the fury of my pain
And you ignited hope
Until you pierced through the intensity of my folly
And squeezed out truth
Until you erase my self told lies
And brought in light
Alas I grasp
You were always at hand
Other than my blindness made me not glimpse
My stubbornness made me not look
My insipidity made me not try
But I’m grateful that you didn’t give up on me
Now even in the greatest of flames
I shall not be shaken
 For you is a haven around me
That never leaves

Somewhat Happy Birthday, Kourtney Kardashian!

The best looking, least irritating member of the Kardashian family turns 33 years old today.
That's right, Kourtney Kardashian is celebrating a birthday, which may come as a surprise to many because - unlike her sisters - we haven't been hearing a great deal about Kourtney. No Las Vegas party appears to be planned, no talk show appearances are in the works, she isn't talking incessantly about procreating.
She's simply doing it.

Indeed, aside from her questionable taste in men (Scott Disick? Really?!?), Kourtney seems downright normal, reserved and attention-shy, at least when compared to other members of her family. She even has a really cute son.
So we're happy to send our birthday wishes to this reality star and we encourage readers to do the same.

Demi Moore Makes Her First Post-Rehab Public Appearance

Actress Demi Moore returned to the spotlight on Tuesday by making her first public appearance since her recent stint in rehab.

The Flawless star has endured a tough few months following her split from husband Ashton Kutcher in November and has been keeping a low profile since her hospitalization in January and subsequent stint in a clinic to treat exhaustion.

However, Moore returned to Twitter this week after a prolonged absence and she stepped back into the public eye by attending the Tuesday night red carpet launch of her friend Amanda de Cadenet's new TV show.

The actress supported her pal at the party in Los Angeles for new series The Conversation, which she executive produces, and posed for pictures on the red carpet.

De Cadenet also revealed how pleased she was to have her friend onboard, telling E! Online,"Demi is one of my best girlfriends and a great sounding board for me. She's got 10 years on me, and so she is more ahead of me in the game of being a woman. She is an amazing resource for me, and so she has a vast life experience that I love to experience and to hear..."

"It was amazing to go to work with someone that I am so close to. It's really cool to be able to do that. She is really enjoying going behind the camera, she's a really good director... She's not someone that's like, 'Oh I can't make that phone call.' If she's on she's on, she's in. She doesn't do things half-a**ed. It was great to have her involved."

Moore's health troubles began with a medical emergency at her Los Angeles home in January, when she reportedly suffered convulsions, and she later spent a month at the Cirque Lodge Center in Utah. Her publicist claimed the actress was battling exhaustion and checked into the clinic in a bid to "improve her overall health."

Chidi Mokeme Finally Getting Married!

The 40-year-old has spoken about his marriage plans so many times that many have received his recent marriage talks with a lot of scepticism. He is said to have picked April 27, to be precise, as his wedding date, to a lady he is said to have met a few months ago.



After a lot of speculation, the name of the bride-to-be of popular Nollywood actor, Chidi Mokeme, has finally been revealed.
The 40-year-old actor, who will have his traditional wedding ceremony in Owerri on Saturday, April 21, will be getting married to Jean Chinwe Olumba.
Jean is a medical doctor based in Baltimore, USA.
We gathered that she works in a private medical firm in the US.

Chidi Mokeme and Jean Chinwe Olumba have kept their affairs private and away from the public eye in fear of criticism and gossip.


Ironically, the same date (April 27) happens to be the day Adia Ukoyen, the mother of his only son, is equally getting married to her beau. Could this be a co-incidence?
