Photos and Video: Muslim devotees turn mosque floor red as they pay respects to the Prophet Mohammad and his martyred grandson with the flowing of their blood

Blood is seen on the floor of a mosque as Indian Shiite Muslims flagellate themselves during a holy procession.

Shi'a Muslims all over the world pay their respects with the flowing of their blood as they mourn the slaying and martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad.

He was killed by his political rivals along with 72 companions in the seventh century battle of Kerbala where some of the bodies of the dead were then mutilated.

The processions also involve walking on burning coals and carrying a 'Tazia' - replica of the coffin of Hussein.

Some participants gather for ceremonial chest beating as a display of their devotion in remembrance of his suffering and to preach that oppression will not last.

In some Shi'a regions of Muslim countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Lebanon, and Bahrain, the commemoration has become a national holiday.

Woman Sues Husband For Denying Her Sex For 10 Years

A housewife, Saratu Haruna, on Monday dragged her husband, Isa Mainika before a Kaduna Sharia Court two, Magajin Gari for allegedly denying her sex for 10 years.

Haruna of Kawo, in Kaduna North Local Government Area, told the court that she was no longer interested in the marriage, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

The woman said she no longer believes there is marriage between them.

“We have been staying for 10 years now, but nothing is happening between us in terms of marital affairs,” she said.

She told the court that she was no more interested in staying with Mainika as her husband, adding, “I don’t love him again.”

Mainika denied the claim, and accused the wife of starving him of sex.

“Anytime I request for sex, she always denies me. There was a time we had a serious fight over this issue and she bit me,” he said.

Mainika told the court that trouble started after his wife gave birth to their second baby.

He said, “Since then I do not know what I have done to her and I have asked her severally, but she refused to say anything.

“I even invited our elders to settle the matter but the effort yielded no positive result.

“I am still in love with her. I do not want to divorce her because I am really worried about the future of our children.”

The Presiding Khadi, Mallam Ibrahim Inuwa, ordered the couple to discuss the matter with their elders for amicable settlement.

Inuwa, however, said that if the case is not settled by the family, the court would decide on what to do.

“What is happening between you is not the Sunnah of our holy prophet. It is totally not acceptable in Islam to be cheating on one another,” he said.

The Khadi, therefore, adjourned the case till December 6 for continuation of hearing.

STYLEWATCH: Dressing The SKITTLE Shape

DRESSING THE SKITTLE SHAPE: What kind of outfits are suitable for the skittle-shaped ladies?

Trinny and Susannah’s the Skittle is described as average tits, slim waist, ok tummy, big thighs, chunky calves.
I’ve got to say I’ve had great difficulty working out the difference between a skittle and a pear. The differences are subtle but definitely quite distinctive in terms of dressing. Both a Pear and Skittle have a slim waist although on a Pear it’s likely to be longer. That’s because the real difference between a Pear and Skittle is the hips and thighs. A Pear has added extra on the outside of their thighs. By contrast a Skittle just has big legs; thighs and calves. A Pear is also likely to be much smaller on the top half with smaller breasts and a more toned stomach.

Dressing The Skittle
The biggest problem with a Skittle is the lack of balance between top and bottom. The bottom is bigger than the top and that highlights how much bigger the bottom half is. So the solution is to get balance back. This is done be adding volume to the top half and minimising the lower half.
Don’t – wear short trousers or capris. You have short legs so if you cut them half way down the calves you’re simply making them shorter again which makes your thighs look wider.
Do – get some interest happening in your top half with eye catching jewellery and eye popping tops.
Don’t – wear stretch pants of any type as they will cling to your thighs.
Do – wear fitting clothes on your upper half as baggy on top will just highlight the lower half.

Clothing – what shapes to avoid
Skinny leg jeans – assuming you can get them in your size (something I struggle with) they highlight your thighs and make your ass look huge.
Pencil skirts – this works the same as skinny leg jeans in that it catches your lower half and highlights although it can be made to work if you have something extra special go
Cropped pants – short pants cuts your leg off and makes your look shorter and your legs wider.
Ankle straps – your legs are short and an ankle strap on a shoe has the effect of making them look shorter, and again, wider.

Clothes – what shapes to look for
Shirt with detail – use added embellishments and details on your blouses to add bulk and volume to your top half. The idea being that your lower half is contained and simple so bring the drama to your top half. It will draw attention directly to your face which is the ideal place for it!
Panelled skirt – look for a firmer fabric with some shape to it. The panelling will give you firm support whilst the slightly flared shape will give a hint of femininity. Any vertical lines on your thighs and bottom will have a slimming effect.


Dress with flared skirt – a dress that is fitted through the top half of your body before flaring out over your thighs is the best choice. The fitted top hugs your curves and emphasised your slenderness on top, the detail at your waist highlights your waist and then the skirt flares over your thighs and discretely disguises their width.


Body hugging top – wearing colour on your top half attracts attention, more aptly it draws attention away from your lower half. A body hugging top shows your slender torso and ruched sleeves make your body look wider. The draping neckline of this top adds volume to your top half making your seem more balanced.


Fitted knit – the goal for a Skittle is always to make the upper half of their body broader to offset the width of your thighs whilst at the same time showing off your slender waist. A fitted knit vest over a feminine blouse with show your shape beautifully whilst making your shoulders look wider.
Wide leg trousers – wide leg pants fall from the hips and bottom and will skim over your thighs. Because they stay the same width all the way down they d isguise your calves and make your legs look longer. Get them hemmed to your heel. If you prefer to wear heels have them hemmed even longer and you will look taller and leaner again.
Waist hugging jacket – make use of your tiny waist with your jackets by finding one that hugs it lovingly. The wide open neck of this jacket broadens your shoulders and makes your seem wider, offsetting the width of your lower half.


High chunky heel – wearing a slender heel will simply highlight the width of your thighs and calves, particularly if you wear them with wide leg pants. Select a chunky heel that offers good stability. A higher heel is good as it adds height which again gives the illusion of more slender legs.

Olumba Olumba Long Dead, Followers are Being Deceived – Former Avid Follower

Contrary to what his belivers would rather have you think, Olumba Olumba Obu, the man who gathered followers after himself, claiming to be God, has since died.

This much was revealed by one of his former frontline followers who is now a Pentecostal Pastor. This former follower, Pastor Lovina Amangala Iburene of The Truth Ministry/The True Lovers of Christ, World Charity Ministry, Lagos, told News Express that Olumba, whose Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is headquartered in the South-South state of Cross River, died way back in 2003.

According to her, “Olumba gave up the ghost and was secretly buried… He died in the night.” And when asked how she came to know, the firebrand pastor who left Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in 2001 said: “I was informed by an insider.”

Iburene also accused the leadership of the church of sustaining the Olumba myth through sheer deception. Olumba Olumba Obu has yet to be seen in public since 2003. She continues: “The level of deception rose to the stage where if asked by journalists and their members from afar, the answer is always ‘he is sleeping’. To those from nearby places, he has ascended into heaven. Lies upon lies!,” Iburene said.

Olumba had on April 14, 2000, crowned his son Rowland as the “Christ”, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Rowland is now effectively in charge of the church.

About Twenty ladies who wore mini skirts and trousers were Friday slaughtered in their separate homes in Maiduguri Metropolis by yet to be identified gunmen.

According to a source, the worst hit areas were Mary wards, few meters away from the University of Maiduguri; one of the places where students of the institution live off-Campus due to accommodation shortage on campus.

Also affected, were ladies living close to the black spot areas of Gwange, London Chiki, Abbagaram and Kaleri areas where series of killings and bomb blasts had occurred in the past, killing JTF officers.

A top JTF Commander said, he had directed his men to the affected areas yesterday morning to evacuate the remains of the victims.
