Queen Of Boobs, Busty Cossy Orjiakor Robbed!
Controversial actress-turned singer, Cossy Orjiakor, is in the news again. But this time around, not for the wrong reason of exposing what she is endowed with. Rather, she was recently attacked by some hoodlums along Orile/Mile 2 road while on her way to Festac town.
According to the ‘busty’ singer, despite the fact that she rolled up her car glasses, the desperate hoodlums smashed the glasses and robbed her.
“I was driving down to Festac town through Orile/ Mile 2 axis, when the hoodlums approached me.
With all my glasses rolled up, they smashed the glass and dispossessed me of my belongings. I even sustained injury in my hand and two legs. They collected my cell- phones and my perfume.

Police Arrest Man Suspected To Have Eaten New Born Baby
Pakistani police have arrested a second man suspected of eating a newborn baby whose head was found at their home.
Farman Ali, 30, was detained a day after police arrested his brother, Mohammad Arif, 35, following the grisly discovery at their house in a remote district in Punjab province.
Officers were alerted after neighbours complained of a foul smell coming from the property. Arif has admitted he and Farman cooked and ate the dead body after his brother stole the corpse from a cemetery, according to police. The pair, who live in the small town of Darya Khan in central Pakistan, around 180 miles (300km) south of the capital Islamabad, had previously served two years in jail for cannibalism in a case that shocked the country.
Police said the brothers, arrested in 2011, had dug up more than 100 corpses from the local graveyard and eaten them. They were only released last year. District police chief Ameer Abdullah said as he revealed news of the first arrest: "Residents informed police after a stench emanated from the house of the two brothers.
"We raided the house on Monday morning and found the head of a young boy."
Police said that the men's wives and family members had left them some years ago and both were living in the house in isolation.
The suspects will undergo psychiatric tests, the police chief said.There is no specific law against cannibalism in Pakistan so, as in the 2011 case, Arif has been charged with desecrating a dead body and public order offences.
In the previous case, police found the body of a 24-year-old woman who had recently died of cancer at the men's house. She was without a leg, which the brothers had eaten.

9-Month-Old Baby Accused Of Murder, Goes Into Hiding
A
nine-month-old Pakistani baby accused of attempted murder has gone into hiding
in an attempt to avoid charges that could be, maybe, somewhat overblown.
Baby
Musa Khan was charged with attempted murder along with his father and
grandfather after a mob angered by gas cuts and price increases turned violent,
throwing stones at police and gas employees trying to collect bills.
Apparently,
the baby was slapped with the charge when a victim complained that the whole
family had beaten him up. The complaint was taken very literally.
The
baby, out on bail, is supposed to return to court on April 12, but his
grandfather, Muhamad Yasin, said the family hasn't decided yet whether to take
him to court.

Nigerian Brands Tasked On Service Offerings and Customer Service
Nigerian brands have been advised to pay more attention to service offerings and customer service if they are to favourably compete with their foreign counterparts operating in the country.
Making this call was Daniel Adia, the founder of MyNaijaReviews.com (MNR), a prominent online product and service review website. MNR is an online platform that allows its users to rank Nigerian products, businesses and services.
Adia, in a press release, stated that the dissatisfaction of Nigerians with local brands is a major reason why foreign brands are often preferred to made-in-Nigerian equivalents.
“From what I have observed, it would seem that majority of Nigerians are not too impressed with what they are getting with respect to service offerings and customer service from Nigerian brands. If you ask me, this seems to be one of the major reasons why our brands are overshadowed by foreign brands. If we are to develop our economy, then Nigerian brands must begin sit up and pay more attention to service delivery and customer focused service, he said “
According to Adia, MNR was set up as a platform for customers and prospects to interact with Nigerian business and products. He said: We have been operating for about four years now and we have more than 2,000 businesses registered on the website with more than 3,000 people using the site. So when we talk about Nigerians and their impression about our local brands, we are talking from an informed position because we have people visiting the MNR website to rank the products and services after they have used them.
Speaking on why he decided to set up MNR, Adia said that the website was set up with the aim of forging a better Nigeria, where businesses are encouraged to pay proper attention to their customers. “We are working towards building a country where businesses can finally get real time unfiltered feedback from their customers. We believe that this is key to the success of Nigerian brands. That was essentially why we came up with MNR,” he stated.
While adding that the website also gives users the opportunity to review Nigerian movies, He stated that regular users are rewarded for ranking products and services.
“We are not just focusing on products and services. We also want to contribute our quota to Nigeria’s movie industry by giving Nollywood enthusiasts the opportunity to review movies. What stands us out is that we don’t just allow people review products, services and movies. We have a unique reward system where we reward users of the site,” he added.

Telecommunication Company In Nigeria Goes Broke, Sacks Over 2000 Workers
Reports have revealed that Etisalat, Nigeria telecom operator is broke and in
order to keep its head above waters ,has decided to sack over 2,000 of its
staff across Nigeria.
According to some of those that were sacked, they were
given their pay off cheque on Friday, and asked to go home. In its stead,
the operator is now planning to hire casual or adhoc staff to handle most of
its jobs.
Most of those sacked have expressed surprise and disappointment over
the development which has thrown them into the already saturated unemployment
market. Attempt by journalist to speak to the management of Etisalat to
confirm or deny the allegations has been unsuccessful so far.
This has added to the ugly trend Nigerian university graduates are suffering in the hands of foreign investors in the country, whom exploit Nigerians due to the level of unemployment in the country.
