2 week-old wrinkly baby rejected at hospital by mum and dad (photos)

A two-week old baby girl born covered in wrinkles is struggling to survive after her parents rejected her because of her rare skin condition.
The tiny tot, who hasn't even been named yet, is being looked after by her granddad who fed her with goats milk from a spoon for two weeks before he could get her to a hospital in Maharashtra, western India.

Her mum, 25-year-old Mamata Dode, is said to have refused to feed the youngster because of her strange looks and hasn't visited her in hospital.Even her father, Ajay Dode, also 25, has refused to accept her

The infant’s grandfather Dilip Dode, 50, brought her to hospital in Mumbai, around 138 kilometres away from the village where she was born, after she became ill.He said:

 “I am thankful to the hospital for giving free medical treatment to my granddaughter.
"It is really disheartening that even her parents have rejected her but I will go to any extent to save her.”

Mr Dode, who works as a labourer, said that his son and his wife had been expecting a healthy child just like their three-year-old daughter Payal, but were left in horror when their new baby was born with unusual features.

He said:

“During my daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, my son had taken her for regular check ups at primary health care centre in our village but doctors never told them there was any problem with the baby."She had a normal delivery at the hospital.But when the baby was given to us, we were left shocked.She did not have the usual features and the word soon spread in the village.From our relatives to villagers, everyone gathered at our home to have a look at the baby.And when they got to see her they ran away in fear.None held the baby in hands as they thought they will catch the disease.Even my son and daughter-in-law refused to accept her as they were embarrassed to have given birth to her.But I knew it was not her fault so I started taking care of her. My only hope is that she gets well and lives a normal life.I will try to convince her parents to accept her but if they still refuse, I will raise her up myself.It is not her fault to have born different and I will not throw her for this disease.”

Wadia Hospital in Mumbai has agreed to meet the cost of her treatment, expected to be 500,000 rupees (around £5,000), and has arranged accomodation on the premisies for Mr Dode.

Photo: Mother arrested for stabbing 2 year old son to death in Ogun

A 26-year-old frustrated mother, Funmilayo Tijani has been arrested by the Ogun state police command for allegedly stabbing her two-year-old son, Emmanuel, to death at her residence on Ogunso Street, Orelope Estate, in the Egan, Sango Ota area of the state on May 27th.

According to a report by Punch, Funmi, who is separated from her son's father and lives with her father, was arrested after Neighbors raised an alarm after she was found with a blood stained knife. Her child was later found dead with stab wounds. Mother and late child pictured above


A neighbor, Akeem Ijaola, who resides in the same area with Funmi when the incident happened said Funmi, a fashion designer, narrates what happened

"Funmilayo and her son stayed with her father in a one-room apartment. The boy attended a private school in this area. About 4pm on the fateful day, we noticed that something was going wrong in the apartment. When people went near, they saw the boy in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed many times. Funmilayo at that time looked like a mentally-derailed woman. The boy died before anyone could take him to a hospital. Although no one could ascertain the cause of her action, Funmilayo is divorced, and the child was born out of wedlock about three years ago.”

Another neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Funmilayo might have committed the act out of frustration as she was financially and emotionally unstable.

“She tried to borrow money during that week from her boss, but she failed. There are also arguments whether her husband was the father of the boy or her father, who she stayed with. Also, her former husband, John, has married another wife who gave birth a few weeks to the incident. I think all these contributed to Funmilayo’s emotional breakdown.”

Speaking on the incident, Funmi's father, 53 year old Mr Adebayo from Ikare Akoko, Ondo State, said

“Funmilayo’s mother died about 20 years ago. She grew up staying with me. I married a second wife later, but separated from her years ago. Funmilayo had been staying with me since she separated from her husband. John initially refused to accept her pregnancy. But they went for a DNA test, which confirmed him as being responsible for the pregnancy. Thereafter, he took her to a place in Apapa, and they were planning to travel to his hometown in Delta State,. but I refused and asked her to come back home.”he said 

The Ogun state police spokesperson DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said Funmi has been acting very strange since she was arrested.

“The police were at the scene to recover the body of the child. The woman has been acting strangely like someone with an unsound mind. She has been arrested and investigation is ongoing.”

The child's body is said to be in the morgue.

71yr old man slaughterss wife with a machete in Akwa Ibom (photos)

A 70 year old man has been arrested in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state after he killed his 60yr old wife with a machete.

The photos are horrific. Read the rest of the story and see the photos after the cut...

"This man, Ita Daniel Okpo, in a most wicked act, slaughtered his wife with a machete and we arrested him. When asked, he admitted to killing his wife but said the late wife, Alice, always quarreled with him and that she was the first to carry machete. Gentlemen, but our findings revealed that the woman was sleeping when she was hacked to death",

When asked, the man admitted to killing his wife but said he took the action after finding out his late wife was sleeping with other men.

"I regret my act, but I was forced to kill her because it was too much on me. In fact, at a point, she openly told me she would rather kill me than to stop sleeping with these men. To match words with action, she had been fighting me several times. So, on that fateful day, while we fought, I killed her" he said

The ACP said the man will charged to court.

calorad Testimonial from samira mohammed

Read the testimonials below.... 

"Before taking Calorad I weighted 93 kgs and I used to be very uncomfortable with my size, my tummy was big and protruded in all my outfits, nothing I did could reduce my tummy size, and my job was making it even bigger as I spent most of my time sitting in front of my PC. I had to suck it in, in public just to feel good. I tried exercising but little or no change after such a long series of strong-workouts and my laziness just got the best of me. I tried my own homemade dieting but ended up getting too hungry afterwards and increased my craving which caused me to rather increase in weight.

I was introduced to combination of wellness products and teas for tummy reduction but I guess my African body was resisting them all, lol. I was already starting to lose hope, when a friend advised me to try CALORAD. Initially I was really doubtful just like anyone would be, but I could see how she had lost an insane amount of weight on Calorad so I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and try it out, and I am glad to say I do not regret heeding the advice. I really wanted to lose weight especially in my tummy and arms which were too visible when I was gaining weight, however I was also wanted to trim my inches a bit around my waist and hips and I did quite good. I was so happy with the performance of Calorad that I opted to shoot a video with the company when they were asking for true life testimonials for Calorad users whilst on my second bottle. I was losing the inches and weight fast.To watch the video (https://youtu.be/Be9CIIBpobU)

As my reward, I was given 2 additional bottles of Calorad in order to complete their 90 days program which I was too glad to use since I love my shape and all I needed was a trim. The result was awesome. I lost 17kg over the period and my flabby curves are now very trimmed. I made sure I ate early like 6pm usually and drank a lot of water afterwards. All I did was stick to the instructions. But I did not do any exercise. “My weight is now 76kg which is ideal seeing am tall and curvy. My skin is smoother and brighter now. In all I took 3 and a half bottles and now am maintaining my weight, however I am still contemplating on staying on Calorad a little longer so I can lose some bonus pounds while i enjoy some junk food when the need arises, lol!

Another reason why Calorad rocks!!!!

This story will make you know love truly exist

“I’ve been having nerve issues, and this past year it’s gotten so bad that it hurts too much for me to walk. It was completely unexpected. I’ve always been such an optimistic person, but now I’m fighting with depression. He’s doing everything he can to take my mind off of it. We’re not sure if I’m going to get better, but he’s planning a backpacking tour through Europe for when I do. And I told him that I didn’t think I could handle a visit to New York right now, but he told me that he’d push me around the whole city. And he has. And whenever I feel particularly down, he tells me that he’s not going anywhere, and how happy he is that he married me. Not long ago I had a particularly rough period, and when I was at one of my lowest moments, he asked if we could renew our vows.”

Ritualists kill 21 year old female student in ogun (photos)

The dismembered body of a female student of a polytechnic in Ogun State, Miss Morenikeji Owolabi, has been discovered by policemen.

Punch gathered on Wednesday that the body was found in a shrine on Tuesday in Eposo-Akaka community, Isara, in the Remo North Local Government Area of the state.

The 21-year-old victim, who hailed from Ekiti State, but lived in Isara, was said to have been lured to the shrine by a herbalist, Femi Awise, who is currently on the run.She was a science laboratory undergraduate of the institution. 

However, five suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder. The suspects are an okada rider who conveyed Owolabi to the shrine, Adeyemi Ademolu; an apprentice to Awise, Omolaso Taiwo; Lateef Ali, Akinyemi Dare and Sokoya Wasiu.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Valentine Ntomchukwu, who led journalists to the shrine, said investigation had commenced to unravel the circumstances which led to Morenikeji’s murder and the motive behind it.

The shrine, made with weather-beaten corrugated iron sheets, contained a large number of fetish objects.An armchair, covered with cloth, was placed at a strategic spot inside the shrine. It was flanked by other plastic chairs. There were also bottles of palm oil and other liquid littering the floor.

There was also an iron pot filled with what was said to be cooked flesh of the victim, from which an offensive odour was coming from.The decomposing legs of the victim, dug out of a shallow grave, were also recovered. 

However, the head of the victim and other vital parts like breasts, hands, and vagina among others were not found. But something that was said to be her liver could be seen being roasted outside the shrine.

The police said Awise perpetrated his “evil deeds” under the guise of being a herbalist and a farmer.

A maize farm was found around the shrine.

The local government chairman, Femi Soyemi, expressed shock at the discovery.

 “I am shocked because I never expect that this kind of horrible and brutal acivity exists here.”

Ntomchukwu said the shrine was discovered through discreet investigation by his men.

He said,

 “We were able to locate the shrine through a discreet investigation by our men. We were able to track the okadarider that took the victim on his motorcycle to the shrine.

“Five suspects have been arrested and investigation has commenced, we will leave no stone unturned to get other fleeing suspects.

“I am appealing to parents that it is not only enough to send their children to school, they must do a follow-up on them.”

The victim was declared missing since Saturday, June 7. It was those who saw her on the day she was being taken to the shrine by the okada rider that alerted the police, which led to the arrest and the discovery of the shrine.

Iggy Azalea opens up about struggling with body confidence

25-year-old rapper, Iggy Azalea who recently got engaged to Nick Young underwent breast surgery earlier this year and candidly opened up about how she struggles with body confidence

'Some days I want to crawl into a cave': Iggy Azalea opens up about struggling with body confidence and embracing her 'flaws' months after breast enhancement surgery.
'Some days I want to crawl into a cave because I don't feel confident at all, and then other days I feel great,'  she told viewers on the Today Show.

'I think it's like that for all human beings, not just young women.

'I think being confident 100-per cent every day is something to aspire to, but I don't think it's humanly possible for anybody.'

Before and after: Back in May she prompted speculation that she had undergone rhinopasty, and the results were clear on Today (right), as opposed to her profile previously (left)

When asked whether the happy couple have set a date, she said: 'Probably July or August next summer, a year from now.'

However, she said the wedding will take place in the States and not in Australia because Nick has a large family while hers is small, she said it will be easier to take hers to the US than the other way round.

 

And as for the dress, she said:

'I think I'll go with something very glamorous and big, maybe a long train,' she revealed. 

'I think, when you're a celebrity, you fortunately go on red carpets so much and wear the sexy silhouette gowns- so I've worn my fair share of those.

syndicate on 10/5/2015. On arrival at Ondo garage
Akure, the three fraudsters took him in their operational
vehicle, a Nissan Armanda Jeep with Registration
Number JS-28-EKY, and pretended to be heading for
Government House, Akure. On the way, they made a

'You know how people say #no filter but you know there's a freakin' filter on their pic? Or maybe there's a smidge of retouching going on but they're lying and saying it's all raw & real? Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, "Naw, Ty. Show 'em the real you. So...here I am. Raw. And there you are...looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you're thinking, "Whoa, she looks rough." And if you are, great! You deserve to see the real me. The really real me. #RawAndReal'
