2 workers found at the bottom of a pool in a Chinese-owned company in Lagos

So, I got this email last week from a guy who said his friend's brother who worked for a Chinese company died in the company's pool sometime last week.
He said the young factory worker decided to sleep over at the company and the following evening, his body and that of another colleague were found inside the company's swimming pool, with blood coming out of their ears, nostrils, and mouth. They say they suspect fowl play.
I didn't put up the story at the time because I wanted to get more info. The new info I have now are the names of the dead men, the name of the company and the address. I will leave the company's name out of this for now because most of the police stations contacted around the area about this case said they are not aware of it...as no one has reported it. The company is situated at Rev Ogunbiyi Str., Ikeja and the names of the dead men are: Imhonbhio Martins Odion from Ewohimi, Edo state and Richard Dada from Ugoja Rivers State.

A trusted reporter friend of mine is working on the story and as soon as I get details, I will definitely update you all. Continue to see the dead workers being pulled out of the pool...but *viewers discretion advised*  -- Linda Ikeji BLOG


8-Year-Old Girl Bathed Housemaid With Hot Water Because She Wants Indomie

What is this world turning into? A small girl of 8 throwing hot water on a maid, because she did not cook her noodles on time? Guess the punishment the mum gave her "FACE THE WALL", haba, is the maid no longer a human being? Parents should mind how they treat the less privileged in the presence of their children, nobody knows tomorrow.


Onlookers were held with shock and disbelief on Friday, September 7 at Iyaganku Police Division when an eight-year-old girl, Ewaoluwa (surname withheld), was brought to the station for changing the looks of her mother's housemaid when she allegedly bathed the Togolese girl with hot water for not responding to her call that she needed to eat Indomie in time.


In a case that was said to have been reported on that Friday by a member of Child's Protection Network, (a non-governmental organisation), Pastor Marcus William, the eight-year-old girl had allegedly poured hot water onthe head, neck and back side of the 14-year-old housemaid, whose name was given as Mary Komule, on September 5 for not answering her in time when she asked Mary to make her Indomie.


Acting on this information, policemen and women attached to the Juvenile Welfare section of Iyaganku went to the girl's parents' house at Olaniran Fagbemi Street, Joyce B area of Ibadan immediately after receiving the information but was said to have been resisted by the girl's mother who reportedly told his gateman to tell the police that she was not around.


It was further gathered that the police officers spent close to four hours outside the gate and had prepared toobtain a search warrant from a court when the woman's lawyer came around and persuaded her to follow the lawenforcement agents.

In her statement to the police at Iyaganku, Ewaoluwa claimed that she wanted to eat Indomie and informed the housemaid, but she was busy cleaning the floor on which palm oil poured. The housemaid, Mary, had reportedly put some water on the fire to further clean the floor when she noticed the floor was still slippery.


Angered by the fact that her request was not promptly attended to, the little girl had reportedly ordered Mary to kneel down and put her hands behind her back, after which she tied them with a scarf. She was said to have claimed that she first poured cold water on the housemaid but when she saw that the teenager did not feel any pain, she took the water the maid was boiling on the fire and poured it on the helpless girl, right from the head to the back of her neck.


Writhing in pain, Mary had reportedly robbed the scalded skin with her hands, resulting in the skin peeling off. Though the girl's mother was said to be away in Lagos when the incident occurred, Ewaoluwa, when asked whether she was punished for her misdeeds, told the police that her mother scolded her by asking her to 'face the wall'.

The mother of the girl who was crying profusely as the crowd booed her and her daughter told the police that she took Mary to a nearby chemist for treatment when she returned from her journey and was informed of the occurrence. She also said that the girl had been with her for about six moths, adding that she didn't want to come out to the police initially because she was scared.

However, the housemaid countered her, saying that she was not taken anywhere for treatment and had been in pain until the time of her rescue. Her burns were only dabbed with Gentian Violet when Crime Features saw thegirl at the police station. When asked why she didn't resist the abuse on her, Mary said her mistress had strictly warned her not to touch the girl on any account.


Sources living around the home of the girl's parents toldCrime Features that the housemaid had once attempted to run away but was held back by people. Since then, they said, she had been under close monitoring by her mistress. The gateman of the house also told the police that he had only worked with the family for nine days before the incident but had never seen the girl outside until that day.


Confirming the story, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Clement Adoda said that the housemaid had been handed over to the Ministry of Women Affairs in Oyo State while the NAPTIP had also been contacted so that proper repatriation of the girl back to her country could be effected. Mr Adoda added that the little suspectand her mother had been granted bail while the case would be charged to court after the resumption of the legal year

The world 's Most Ugliest Woman


When she was in high school, Lizzie Velasquez was dubbed "The World's Ugliest Woman" in an 8-second-long YouTube video. Born with a medical condition so rare that just two other people in the world are thought to have it, Velasquez has no adipose tissue and cannot create muscle, store energy, or gain weight. She has zero percent body fat and weighs just 60 pounds.

In the comments on YouTube, viewers called her "it" and "monster" and encouraged her to kill herself. Instead, Velasquez set four goals: To become a motivational speaker, to publish a book, to graduate college, and to build a family and a career for herself.

Now 23 years old, she's been a motivational speaker for seven years and has given more than 200 workshops on embracing uniqueness, dealing with bullies, and overcoming obstacles. She's a senior majoring in Communications at Texas State University in San Marcos, where she lives with her best friend. Her first book, "Lizzie Beautiful," came out in 2010 and her second, "Be Beautiful, Be You," was published earlier this month.

"The stares are what I'm really dealing with in public right now," she told Dr. Drew Pinsky in an interview on CNN's Headline News this week. "But I think I'm getting to the point where… instead of sitting by and watching people judge me, I'm starting to want to go up to these people and introduce myself or give them my card and say, 'Hi, I'm Lizzie. Maybe you should stop staring and start learning'."

Velasquez was born in San Antonio, Texas; she was four weeks premature and weighed just 2 pounds, 10 ounces. "They told us they had no idea how she could have survived," her mother, Rita, 45, told the Daily Mail. "We hd to buy doll's clothes from the toy store because baby clothes were too big." Doctors warned Rita and her husband, Lupe, that their oldest child would never be able to walk or talk, let alone live a normal life. (Her two younger siblings were not affected by the syndrome.)

Instead, she has thrived. Her internal organs, brain, and bones developed normally, though her body is tiny. Since she has no fatty tissue in which to store nutrients, she has to eat every 15 to 20 minutes to have enough energy to get through the day. One brown eye started clouding over when she was 4 years old, and now she's blind in that eye and has only limited sight in the other.

"Some days life doesn't make sense," she writes in "Be Beautiful, Be You." "You just have to change what you can, ask for help and pray about the rest."

She notes her triumphs and posts inspirational messages on Tumblr, and says that she's learned to embrace the things that make her unique. Instead of trying to retaliate against people who have made her feel badly, she sets goals for herself and pushes herself to succeed in spite of the haters. She's even reclaimed YouTube, video blogging about everything from bullying to hair-styling tips to staying positive.

"I feel really glad that I don't look like the celebrities out there that are so beautiful," she told Dr. Drew. "There's a lot of stereotypes attached to that." Not looking like a supermodel "gives people the opportunity to know you personally," she explains. "If they're willing to take that extra step they'll get to know the person you really are."

Of course, the horrible comments left on that old YouTube video stung (the video has since been removed, but Velasquez says she read every single comment). Now, she says, she understands that they're "just words."

"I'm human, and of course these things are going to hurt," she said. "Their judgements of me isn't who I am, and I'm not going to let these things define me."

"I didn't sink down to their level," she said in a follow-up video on YouTube last year. "Instead, I got my revenge through my accomplishments and determination. In the battle between the 'World's Ugliest Woman' video vs. me, I think I won."
