A Nigerian prostitute was reportedly ‘thrown’ out of a window in Barcelona, Spain. She
fell 10m onto a glass roof and became hooked up on a metal bar, which
probably saved her life and left her with just minor injuries.
Joseph Stephen, a 41-year-old British was arrested in connection to the incident. The police were
called out to a ‘fight’ in Joseph’s flat at around 6am. According to reports, the man was said to be ‘violent
and dangerous’ and has a criminal record and an extradition warrant
against him issued by the Italian authorities.
He has been charged with attempted murder and remanded in custody.

Kanye West Sick of Kim's Divorce Drama.
Kanye West is reportedly annoyed by his girlfriend Kim's ongoing divorce drama because he wants to marry her as soon as possible. The rapper desperately wants to propose, but feels like he has to wait until her divorce from Kris Humphries, her husband of 72 days, comes through.
According to HollywoodLife.com: "The only thing he wants to give Kim for Christmas he cant.....this has been going on way too long and Kanye is not happy at all.
Kanye is hopeful Kris will back down and accept a divorce rather than pushing for an annulment on the grounds of "fraud" and when Kim is officially a free woman, friends believe he will immediately pop the question. "Will You Marry Me?".....hehehee, can't wait to hear that side of the story.....my ears are on the ground.
Is weekEND people, enjoy.....
NB Fashion: Get it Right This Winter
With the arrival of winter, I know everyone is digging right inside their wardrobes to get those thick and heavy jackets/coats to keep warm. But whatever you wear, I would advice you keep it casual and cheeky at the same time. Alicia Keys sure got it right, continuing her Girl on Fire album tour at SiriusXM in New York City, keeps it casual in an army-green blouse, gray sweater, A.L.C. leather jacket, black slacks and booties.

Nigerian Patient Wins Fight To Stay in UK
A NIGERIAN transplant patient who lives in Leeds and who claimed she would die within weeks if she was deported from the UK has said she is relieved that a judge has ruled she can stay.
Community volunteer Roseline Akhalu, 49, came to study at Leeds University in 2004 but was diagnosed with kidney failure soon after she arrived.
She had a successful transplant in 2009 but now needs regular hospital checks and will have to take immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of her life.
Her legal team has argued she would die within weeks if she was returned to Nigeria as she would never be able to afford the drugs that keep her alive.
Now her lawyers have confirmed Ms Akhalu found out on Thursday that her appeal against deportation has been successful.

New York City Enjoys First Violent Crime-Free Day
New York City has enjoyed its first violent crime-free day. The New York City police reported that Monday (November 26) was the 'most bloodshed-free 24-hour period in recent history', not a single act of violence was reported. Despite a rise in homocides in July, the city's murder rate is on target to hit its lowest point since 1960. Recent statistics shows there have been 366 murders so far this year in New York City, compared with 472 at this time last year.
I believe this is a wake up call for many countries and cities of the world....

What Should Parents Teach Children to Call Their Private Parts?
Parents need to teach their children that their “bits” are private parts, to be protected, but what on earth are they supposed to call them? And even people who are not married, are so shy about private parts.
What do you think? What were you taught to call your private parts? Have
you used the same terminology for your children? And why are we uncomfortable using the term penis, vagina, and vulva. Leave your comment below....

NBVite: Enjoy Being Single
Very often we tend to focus only on the disadvantages of our current phase or stage in life rather than to appreciate its merits and use it to attain some level of comfort and satisfaction as we wait and prepare for the next level.
Being in a relationship or being married is a wonderful thing to happen to anyone who has come of age. But then, finding a partner and having that conviction in yourself that he/she is the right person can be very challenging. So people at some point, can easily get worried and frustrated in their search. You can easily become desperate and you might start questioning your singlehood.
I am not against relationships but against people's addiction and obsession to relationship and dating stuff that it ruins them of enjoying the first and best phase of their lives. I have seen as young as 13-15 year-old talking about boyfriend and sex. And I wondered, what does she know about dating.

Baby Born With Her Heart OUTSIDE the Chest Survives After Revolutionary Operation
Nothing gives me joy like seeing a baby survive a difficult situation. How they do it, I don't know. New born babies can't express themselves through words, but I can tell you they have the most 'strongest spirit' than any adult.
This story is about a baby girl Audrina Cardenas who was born with a rare congenital disease where her heart formed OUTSIDE the chest, but makes an incredible recovery after a revolutionary surgery, thanks to the team of doctors at Texas Children's Hospital.
The condition - ectopia cordia, which occurs in six to eight of every 1 million babies - claims the lives of 90 per cent of the infants who suffer from it but little fighter Audrina is making strides.

Second-hand Clothes Could Cause Candidiasis & Hepatitis Says an Expert
Second hand clothes, popularly known in Nigeria as "Okirika" or "Bend Down Select", are capable of causing some known diseases according to medical expert.
A medical expert, Dr Elizabeth Uzorji, has said that second-hand clothes users risk contracting candidiasis and hepatitis. According to her, such diseases were air-borne and could be contracted easily through the constant use of second-hand clothes.
Uzorji went further to say that, "Those that patronise second clothes do not have the slightest idea of who the first user was, and those selling the wares also do not take their time to wash these clothes very well before marketing them. (Point of correction, they don't wash the clothes at all).
The medical expert warns that women who buy inner wears from the second-hand dealers could contract vaginal infections. Hehehe
Please oh, ensure you wash every "OK" purchase with hot water and detergent before use.......

Would You Love a Snake Cake on Your Birthday?
I personally can't near a snake or anything that looks like it, not even a plastic snake toy. For anyone to prepare something that I'm meant to eat look like a snake, will certainly spoil my day and bring ugly memories in the future.
37-year-old, Francesca Pitcher, from Maidstone, Kent, decided to bake a snake cake for her daughter Claudia's 6th birthday.
Francesca, baked the equivalent of six sponge cakes before carving and sculpting them into the slinky appearance of the python, one of the most lethal non-venomous snakes in the world. She spent a painstaking 12 hours decorating the unlikely birthday cake until it looked like a convincing albino Burmese python. And when she finally brought out the white-chocolate masterpiece at the party, guests weren't sure if it was a snake or a cake.

Midwife Tina Lavender to Recieve Damehood at Buckingham Palace Today
Today at Buckingham Palace, 46-year-old midwife from Liverpool, will officially become Professor Dame Tina Lavender.
Dame Tina started at Oxford Street and Mill Lane maternity hospitals, working as a clinical midwife, delivering thousands of babies, and today her dedication and passion for the job has paid off.
I got a letter from Buckingham place, “It said I was invited to become a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire,” says the mum of two from Childwall. “I didn’t know what it meant, so I had to look it up on the internet. I still don’t think I’ve got over the shock.
“It’s a real privilege being able to help women at such an important time of their lives. Some people go into midwifery because they like delivering babies. I liked that bit too, but for me it was also about the mothers, about making sure that they were looked after and that the whole experience was as happy as it could be.”

Kim Kardashian: 'British Girls Style Outfits Better than the US'
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian debut their clothing line in Dorothy Perkins this week and Kim says the garments are different to their US ones as they have been so heavily influenced by UK fashion.
She said: "I love British style.
"Girls over here are really creative in the way they style outfits. Maybe it's the weather, but I find girls here are really great at layering different pieces, mixing things up and accessorising to get a look that is unique to them.

Morgan Tsvangirai to Pay £150,000 to Former Girlfriend
The Zimbabwean Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, has agreed to pay former girlfriend an estimated £150,000 in an out-of-court settlement after he married another woman in September.
Locardia Karimatsenga, 40, claimed Mr Tsvangirai, 60, married her in a customary ceremony last year. She had been seeking maintenance payments of £10,000 a month to keep up the lifestyle to which, she said in court, she had become accustomed to.

A Servant Leader
To progress, society doesn't need 'leaders' anymore. This doesn't mean that we won't have great men amidst us. I think great men will come and they will be vital for progress of humanity, but they will be so great that they will refuse to take up this position of leadership. People will not follow the great men, but will listen to their thoughts, philosophies and views and through their sharing, society will find its way forward.
Take a look at the Bhoodan (Land Gift) Movement, for example. Because it was entirely executed while walking, there was never any centralized leadership. If you think about it, the Buddha too, walked on foot for thousands of kilometres with a few simple thoughts. Yet, because those thoughts were worthy, and he lived in complete harmony with those thoughts, they have spread across the world and are valid even two and a half millennia later.
