The federal prosecutors alleged that Alexandre became enraged, two hours into the journey, as a woman in front of him reclined her seat in front of him,

According to an August Globe article, a member of the flight crew attempted to cautioned him, but Alexandre became even more upset, and began to shout as he walked towards the crewman and grabbed him by the arm. This prompted the captain of the flight to divert the plane to Boston's Logan International Airport, where Alexandre was eventually arrested.

12-year old David Cohen from Dallas has invented a robot which could help curb malaria to a large extent as his machine drowns mosquitoes and traps them under water, Huffington Post reports.

Cohen, from Dallas submitted his work to the "Discovery Education 3M Scientist Challenge" and has been selected as one of the competitions's top ten finalists as he aims to win the $25,000 cash prize, with the title of "America's Top Young Scientist," which comes along with an all expenses paid vacation at the finals.

Cohen said: "My sister actually got a pretty bad staph infection from itching a mosquito bite. She was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. It took her a couple weeks to heal with heavy antibiotics."

Cohen, a high school freshman paired up with mentor, Delony Langer-Anderson a 3M advanced new product development specialist for the project.

Langer-Anderson heaped praises on the pre-teen scientist said: "David looked at the problem of mosquito-borne illnesses in a different way. He asked, 'What if the mosquito was never born?' As he's worked through prototypes and ideas, he's never lost sight of the idea that if he can stop the mosquito from emerging from the larvae stage, he can prevent them from spreading diseases."

She said although it is yet to be seen whether Cohen's invention will reduce the number of malaria or West Nile virus cases, the involvement of such youngsters in solving world problems is a welcome development

Joan Rivers -- Sources Says Someone Screwed Up







Culled From: TMZ.com

1016-joan-rivers-tmz-01Someone did something wrong in the medical procedure that led to Joan Rivers' death ... this according to one source involved in the investigation.


The Medical Examiner has said the death was the result of a therapeutic, predictable complication. Sources tell us ... the complication did NOT involve the Propofol administered to Joan. The complication was the result of the procedure itself.

..click here only if you are using your phone http://pin.bbm.com/C002329DA to join to our bbm channel, or just search bbmchannel prettypeoplenaija
The source connected to the investigation tells TMZ ... the procedure was actually completed when Joan suffered brain damage from a lack of oxygen.  

Our source says there were no "underlying causes or contributing factors" involving Joan's health, and it appears someone was at fault. There's still an investigation and a big issue is whether her oxygen levels were being properly monitored.  

We're told people in Joan's life have keyed in on the word "predictable" ... they think it could be a focal point in a possible malpractice action because predictable could also mean preventable.

Nigerian man jumps to his death trying to escape from police in Malaysia

The Nigerian man pictured below named Osazuwa allegedly jumped to his death from a 15-storey building on Monday October 13th as police stormed a place he was staying with friends in Malaysia.

According to local media report, a Nigerian student had lodged a police report in Puchong on Sunday October 12th claiming his girlfriend had been kidnapped by Osazuwa and his gang.

..click here only if you are using your phone http://pin.bbm.com/C002329DA to join to our bbm channel, or just search bbmchannel prettypeoplenaija

"The boyfriend said he received a call from a suspect who demanded RM40,000 for the release of his girlfriend, also a Nigerian student here. We suspected the kidnappers were people that the victim must have known. Police immediately tracked the victim and her kidnappers' whereabouts." criminal investigator Datuk Mohd Adnan Abdullah said.

Malaysia police said the victim's boyfriend cooperated with the police in their investigations and he managed to coax the suspects into giving him more time and told them he was gathering the funds.

The police managed to find the victim's location on Monday. She was being held in a condominium unit in Taman Melati, Ampang.

"We formed a team to raid the condominium unit and moved in on the suspects at about 5pm."

The victim was being held in one of the rooms.

"Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted to escape. The raiding team arrested two women and two men," he said.

The other suspect tried to climb down from the balcony to a unit below.

However, he could not grab hold of anything and fell to his death.

"The suspect who died was in his 20s and we are still trying to establish his identity," Mohd Adnan said.

The victim was unharmed while in the custody of the suspects. He said investigation are underway to determine how many other kidnapping cases they were involved in.

"The gang thought they could get money quickly by carrying out this crime, but look what had happened — it has just gone awfully wrong," he said.

A lot of artistes now doing worse than Majek Fashek - Ras Kimono

In an interview with Sunnewsonline where he shared his opinion on the current state of the Nigerian music industry, Reggae legend Ras Kimono said the current Nigerian music artistes are doing worse than Majek Fashek. According to him, there is nothing to celebrate in an artiste who releases just a single and declares himself a superstar. He says back in his days, they produced 12-tracked albums for their listeners who would then determine how many of the songs in the albums were hit songs. He says things have changed.

He also said most of the hip-hop stars today smoke and drink to stupor because they think that it is a way of being inspired. He warned that they should be careful about indulging in such as the Nigerian music industry gives an artiste only one chance and that once an African artiste falls, he is dead and buried. Find excerpts from the very interesting interview after the cut...

As a veteran musician, what would be your advice to young musicians that are traveling for the first time?
It all depends on your mission. If it is for a show, just know that you are going to play for people who know your musical background, but do not let that bother you. Apart from international promoters, all other Nigerian artists who travel abroad to play music, play for Africans. None of them travel for the purpose of playing in a pure concert.
They do not go to play in a pure concert, rather they just travel there to play for some group of Nigerians and Africans abroad and nothing more. When I travel abroad, I play in a pure concert. Though a lot of them are Africans, but then when you go for concert, you have to try to play in concerts that are not filled with known faces. They should play more in concert where there are no known faces from home.
Those artists I know that travel abroad to play in concert that way are Sunny Ade and Fela. I consider it a great way of selling the Nigeria's kind of music. By so doing, more people will get to know you. Now, if you are playing for a crowd of people who do not know you from back home in a pure concert, then your fan base and size is growing. You will gain more grounds.
Nigeria music sell everywhere in Africa. If you visit Cameroun, Ghana, Abidjan, everybody wants to come and see the Nigerian musician who did a popular song. That is the kind of concert I am talking about, not the one being organised by those who know you well back at home. Even when I was back there in America, I did hear of some of them coming to play and when I go there, I see Nigerians take over the hall, jumping up and down. There is no promotion in that of tour. Rather, you are just recycling, not growing or selling yourself to new fans, who have never met you before at home. After they have finished playing in such Nigerian concerts, they come home to boast that they played in a concert abroad. Whenever I hear that, I just laugh and say balderdash.
My advice to the young artists is that they should keep their head cool and humble so that they will grow. Another thing they do is the single-track thing. In our days, we did no such injustice to our fans. Rather, we always do 12 tracks and above in one album. Then, music lover do get good deal for their money, not now that you spend money just to buy a single for same amount for 12 tracks.



..click here only if you are using your phone http://pin.bbm.com/C002329DA to join to our bbm channel, or just search bbmchannel prettypeoplenaija Even then when you drop an album comprising 12 tracks or more, we still look out to know if five of them are hit tracks. It is only when you hit such height that you can score yourself good. Artists worked harder then than now, you know what I mean. I see a lot of them who do singles, and it makes waves and then you will see them parading themselves as super stars. I just say, you guys do not know the foundation of the industry.
A lot of our musicians today are doing even worse than Majek Fashek did. I will say this to those who care to know; show me one hip-hop artist who do not smoke or drink and I will show you five reggae artist who do not smoke or drink. Check all the hip-hop artists, they smoke and drink to stupor because they think that it is a way of being inspired.

I am one, but I do not do any of such things before and after going on stage or any time… 
A close friend of mine used to talk to me and he said all this hip-hop stuff, Zaaki started them. But I said to him, who cares. Do the young ones of today care to recognise such a person or even his efforts? You see, we do not keep history, so nobody knows. These young once just spring out, make some wave and call themselves kings and champion of a particular music.
Now, because of the pride of these younger artists, they fail to humble themselves and learn from the mistakes of the older once.

Yes, because they believe that they know it all…

..click here only if you are using your phone http://pin.bbm.com/C002329DA to join to our bbm channel, or just search bbmchannel prettypeoplenaija
Oh, you need to see how they smoke. They smoke and drink their senses out, but I keep telling them that the latter will be greater. If they do not take care now, they will regret it in the future. One important thing they must know is that the Nigeria music community is not like that of Europe where they give an artist two or four chances to rise again when you fall. Here, it is once. Once you fall, just forget it. It is all over for you.
Over there, artist like Bobby Brown sang, fell, sang again and fell many times. So did most of them. But here, you have just one chance.  Africa does not give such luxury to artists. It is just one chance for you and once you fall, you are dead and buried.

     I was told the incident was carried out by a gang of five men over a £400 debt which he owed them, and the police has so far made no arrests!

   They confronted 25 year old Olamide asking for their money, during which an argument ensued, they then chased him down he street at Thamesmead and stabbed the boy with a hack saw and a blade up to eight inches long, leaving him to bleed to death, before an ambulance arrived.

He died a few yards from where his family lives in south-east London... I hear his family is devastated by the loss especially his mum.. May his soul rest in peace... Amen!
