Woman Commits Suicide Because Her Hubby Refused To Buy An Ipad For Her

Omo wetin dey worry people this days? i tire oooo....

A 41-year-old woman, Mrs Catherine Sefunmi Urouna, on Saturday, committed suicide by drinking substance suspected to be chemical in protest of her husband's refusal to buy her a ipad device. The family of five were thrown into mourning, even as the neighbours were shocked that a woman who was happily married could take such a nasty decision to take her own life over an ipad. The police in Ondo State are, however, investigating the actual cause of her death.

The 41-year-old woman and mother of two boys and a girl was a senior executive accounting officer in Akure North local government council, Iju/Ita-Ogbolu of Ondo State. She was said to have threatened to kill herself a fortnight ago if the husband didn’t get her an ipad; even as the husband pleaded with her to continue using the Blackberry phone.

Pope Francis Bows For Queen Rania Of Jordan

The Pope who is the leader of the world's 1.2 billion-strong Catholic community, protocol usually dictates that visitors bow to him when they meet him at the Vatican but the Pope has once again shown his willingness to break with tradition by bowing to Muslim royal Queen Rania of Jordan as a Vatican official said the new Pope Francis 'is not interested in protocol'

'Francis behaves as he did before he became pope and is not interested in protocol', a senior Vatican official told Journalist.

Up until the 19th century, those meeting the pope stoop to kiss his slippers and, to this day, the tradition remains that all visitors, including women, bow to him, the official said.

He even took a "selfie" picture with young teenage girls to show that he is well in tune with modern life
The pope has already amassed more than three million followers on the social networking site Twitter, with his latest picture believed to be the first ever 'papal selfie'.

Pope Francis has made a concerted effort to understand and integrate with worldwide youth since he succeeded Pope Benedict XVI as he has already charmed the masses with his informal style, simplicity and sense of humour.
He has also being known to personally call people up who have written to him asking for prayers or told him of personal tragedy.

What a good way to go by a leader with simplicity and humility

PDP WAHALA (FACTION CREATED)

Nigeria's former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and five other governors walked out of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Convention that held in Abuja today and went to form a faction of the party.

The governors who left the convention with Atiku are: Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger state, governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto state, governor Musa Kwankwaso of Kano state, and governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara state.

Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state, who were barred from attending the convention, joined the other governors, Atiku, and Bukola Saraki in the new factional PDP.

After addressing an impromptu press conference explaining why they decided to form a new faction, officers were immediately elected. Abubakar Baraje was elected chairman, while former Osun State governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola was elected Secretary.

So now there's a GEJ PDP and an Atiku PDP. Lol. Our leaders are comedians...
