"Meet this young and beautiful girl. She is our new child at ACAEDF Childrens Home. Her name is Ekemini, 13 years old and pregnant !David Emmanuel Umem and our team in Nigeria rescued her yesterday. The accused who has admitted to be responsible is currently facing the full weight of the law so we cannot comment further because the case is currently in court. It´s also the reason we cannot show her face in public.
But the most important thing right now is that the girl is finally safe! She has suffered a lot and been abused and abandoned! But we will make sure that she receives all the love and care that she needs. At DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF Childrens home she will be given a more brighter future, and we will help her raise her little baby. We will make sure that she fulfill all her dreams despite becoming a mother at only 13 years old!"

Woman arrested after spending millions on designer bags after £2.3m was mistakenly deposited into her account
She received the money into her Westpac bank account as an overdraft four years ago and has been 'living the life' since.
According to Nine News, Lee allegedly spent £1.7 million in less than a year when she bought designer handbags and made cash transfers.
The girl who is also a chemical engineering student, was arrested by the Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport on Wednesday night and according to the report she still owes about £1.7million to the bank.
Lee appeared at Waverley Local Court on Thursday where she was charged with 'dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime'.
According to the court, police were aware of the withdrawal of the money in 2012, but they only issued the arrest warrant on March 4 this year, but the girl's lawyer said she didn't spend the money illegally, and spent majority of the funds on designer handbags.
She will appear at the Downing Centre Local court on June 21.

Shitta Progressive Football Association
The Likes of Waidi Akanni, Fatai Atere, Henry Nwosu, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, Taribo West, Peter Ogaba, Kayode Keshinro, Teslim Fatusi and Olumide Harris graduated from being nurtured in Shitta to becoming National footballing icons. There is hardly ever a Nigerian football team that does not have one or more “shitta bred”.
In recent times however, the zone has become perceived as an area where drugs, crime and hooliganism thrive. This perception though not entirely correct may not be unconnected to dearth of recreational facilities/ opportunities that will keep the youths engaged while also nurturing their skills.
Enter, Shitta Progressives Football Association…
The association was founded to create and maintain bonding and engagement platforms (via football) to draw the youths away from vices while also helping to nurture these talents. Our objective is to once again, begin to see these “street level” talents in Nigeria’s Colors in the not too distant future.
To achieve this, we established the Shitta Progressives Football Competition. This competition has been held bi-annually over the past 3 years.
8 teams participated in the inaugural edition of the completion. It has since grown into a 24 team competition with one team each from Mushin and Ilupeju also participating in the on-going edition.
The tournament is tagged “D SPECIAL 1 CUP”
The primary objective of the sponsor (SIMPLY KNOWN AS “D SPECIAL 1”), apart from being his own way of giving back to the society, (that has insisted on remaining anonymous from the inception) is to use to platform to reignite the passion for sports (especially football) in youths in Surulere. It is also a platform to bring youths together to bond in a fun environment and move away from social vices.
The round of 16 commences today at the ALAPAFUJA PLAYING GROUND IN SHITTA.

UK mosques ban Muslim women from wearing trousers, leaving home without husband's permission, orders them to close FB accts
The Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham said that women were not allowed to wear trousers, even in front of their husbands, while the Central Masjid of Blackburn called Facebook a 'sin' and an 'evil'.
One Islamic organisation also stated that Muslim women should not leave the house without their husband's permission and should not travel more than 48miles without their husband.
An article entitled 'Dangers of Facebook' was published on the Central Masjid of Blackburn's website which stated that: 'Facebook has opened the doors for sin. Muslim girls and women alike have become prey to this evil.'
In a Q&A, one Muslim asked the Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham if women could wear jeans. Citing an Islamic scholar, the reply was that women were not permitted to wear trousers, even in front of their husband, as they show off 'the details of her body'.
A document written by a mufti at the Croydon Mosque and Islamic Centre, entitled 'Advice for the husband and wife', also stated: 'A woman should seek her husband's permission when leaving the house and should not do so without his knowledge.'
In another article, the mosque calls abortion 'a great sin' and describes acting and modelling as 'immoral acts'.
