SUAREZ JOINS BARCELONA FOR €88 MILLION

Luis Suarez is on the brink of officially completing his sensational transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona after the terms of a deal worth just over €88 million were agreed on Wednesday night.

An agreement has now been reached and the final formalities will be completed before Suarez is announced as Barcelona’s marquee signing of the summer.

The 27-year-old is currently serving a four-month ban – which runs until October 26 – for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini while playing for Uruguay in his nation’s final World Cup group stage match.

Under the terms of the suspension, Suarez is not allowed to train with his club or enter the confines of any stadium during his ban.

KEFEE BURIED AMID TEARS

The remains of the late popular gospel singer,
Kefee, were finally laid to rest in her home town,
Okpara Inland of Ethiope East Local Government,
Delta State on Friday, as so many people could
not control
their emotions.

Most of the mourners, dressed in black tee-shirts
with Kefee's picture printed on them, carried
placards and posters of the late singer as they
trooped to the burial site.

Before the interment, a homecoming service was
held in her honour at Akpevweoghene Educational
Centre, Okpara Inland of Ethiope East Local
Government, Delta State where family, colleagues,
friends and fans gathered to pay their last respect to
the late singer.

Her remains, in a white casket, were first taken to
one of the classrooms in the school where some
pastors prayed for the repose of her soul. Thereafter,
the casket was brought to an open field for the lying
in state ceremony before she was buried.

It was gathered that her widower, Teddy Don-
Momoh, dressed in white attire, couldn't say much all
through the ceremony as tears kept rolling down his
eyes. Our correspondent learnt that her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Obareki, stayed away from the
burial as their custom demanded that parents should
not see the corpse of their children.

Some Nigerian entertainers who travelled to Delta
State for the burial ceremony include Tony Okoroji,
Daddy Showkey, Azzezat, Aity, I go dye, Princess and
Nikky Laoye.

Born Irikefe Obareki, Kefee passed on in the United
States of America last June after being in a coma in
an undisclosed hospital for few weeks.
Kefee would be remembered for her popular song,
Branama and Kokoroko, which earned her so many
awards.
Previously married to a music director, Alec Godwin,
Kefee got married again to a Lagos-based on-air-
personality with Star FM, Teddy Don-Momoh, in 2012..

MAN WHO SPENT 16 YEARS IN PRISON FOR MURDER HE DID'NT COMMIT AWARDED $3M

After spending 16 horrendous years behind bars
for a crime he did not commit, Jabbar Collins has
been awarded a compensation worth $3 million
by the state of New York for their obstruction of
justice, after it was
discovered that he was conspired into prosecution by
a crooked lawyer.

According to NYDailyNews report: Jabbar Collins’
settlement was approved Thursday by Judge Faviola
Soto in the state Court of Claims in lower Manhattan.
Outside court, Collins said the settlement was
bittersweet because his mother passed away last
July. “I would love for her to be here because she
knew this day was coming,” Collins said. “I wanted
what every son wants to see their mom have, to live
the rest of her days in peace. She was there for me
for 16 years.” Three million dollars is a lot of money,
but it is a small fraction of what Jabbar Collins is
entitled to for 15 horrendous years in maximum
security state prison,” said lawyer Joel Rudin. Collins
was convicted in 1995 of murdering Rabbi Abraham
Pollack during a robbery in Williamsburg.

With Collins diligently working on his appeals from
prison, the conviction unraveled when it was
discovered that then-prosecutor Michael Vecchione
had allegedly coerced witnesses into falsely testifying
and withheld important evidence from the defense at
Collins’ trial.

Collins now has a grandchild of his own and plans to
attend Bible college to spread the ministry that
helped him get through his prison sentence..

A SCHOOL WHERE HALF OF THE PUPILS IN A CLASS ARE TWINS - AMAZING

This sounds very interesting to say the least as staff at a primary school are getting used to seeing double because morning roll-call reveals that almost half the pupils in one class are twins. Of the 25 youngsters in Year Six at St Anne’s Church of England school in Waterfoot, near Bacup, Lancs, in England, there are five sets of twins with two being identical. And in every case the elder twin is smaller than their sibling – "and all five pairs have an older brother or stepbrother", their class teacher, Kim Kirk says. He says even though they sometimes trick him, he has managed to identify some with the length of their hair, but some twins are too alike he still can’t differentiate.

EVEN IF YOU STAB IT WITH A SHARP KNIFE, YOU CAN'T DAMAGE IPHONE 6




This dude Marques Brownlee uploaded a video on youtube, he was for real, putting what alleges is the display for a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 through abuse and torture. He stabbed and did all he could to spoil the face of the iPhone 6… but he couldn’t.

In the video uploaded by Brownlee, he puts the iPhone 6 display through a quick scratch test using a pocket knife and a set of keys. When he’s unable to leave so much as a tiny scratch on the panel’s surface, he moves on to a bend test bending it more than 90 degrees, failing to do any damage to it on any count.

Watch the video below
