Dog finds an abandoned baby/foetus and takes it to safety (photos)

This is so amazing but biko, is that a foetus or a fully formed baby? Don't know where this happened but according to reports, this dog found the newly born baby and took it to where people could see it. The dog carried the baby in its mouth and amazingly didn't hurt the baby. See another pic after the cut

A good start! Meet Tanzania's first female Vice President

Samia Suluhu Hassan, 55, was announced Vice President of Tanzania in the 2015 General Elections, alongside Tanzania's ruling party candidate John Magufuli. Suluhu is married to Hafidh Ameir and they have four children. The National Electoral Commission announced on Thursday, October 29, that Magufuli won the presidential election after the opposition challenged the tallying process and demanded a recount.

Chairman of the Commission, Damian Lubuva told a news conference that Magufuli secured 58 percent of the votes, beating his main opposition rival, Edward Lowassa who has 40 percent.

Father of 11 children on £27k a year benefits refuses to work, says he is obeying God's first command to 'go forth and multiply'

Father of 11 children on £27k a year benefits refuses to work, says he is obeying God's first command to 'go forth and multiply'

A father of 11 who claims up to £27,000 a year in benefits says he does not believe in contraception - and admits the government pay for the upkeep of his children. Mohammed Salim and his wife Noreen claim up to £27,000 per year in handouts from the government and alarmingly hasn't worked for the past 10 years.

Their family of 13 live in a 4-bedroom house in Manchester & often travel by minibus. Mohammed, who is appearing on a new TV programme, said on the show that he has no regrets about fathering 11 children, even though “it is the government who pay for their upkeep, food and clothing”.

“Having 11 children I don’t think is irresponsible, we don’t believe in contraception, we are following God’s first command, he said ‘go forth and multiply’,”

Mohammed said it isn’t his fault that he has spent 10 years on the dole and the system is failing him, adding:

“I have got qualifications and real work experience. I’ve been forced on to the dole because I’m unemployed. I am expected to do at least seven job applications a week. I’m better off on the dole than working on a minimum wage.”  he told Channel 5’s On Benefits: 26 Kids And Claiming, a documentary about large families on benefits.

Mohammed has applied to work as an ICT teacher in Saudi Arabia because he can’t find a job in the UK.

He said: “It’s a sad state of affairs. For the last ten years I’ve failed to get any jobs or interviews. I am not getting the results.”

“I have been told to do taxi work but with the hours I would have to put in to get a reasonable wage, I can’t do it, especially with young children.”

Mohammed, who spends up to £300 per week on food for his family, said he would struggle if his welfare bill was capped at £500 a week as the government are currently proposing and he also forks out on modern gadgets for his children who want iPhones.


He said: “We are feeding 13 people. £500 a week is not enough, the costs are there, we are having to stretch and stretch. They want that because it is the thing of the present day and you have to cough up,” he said.

He added that with 11 children, there are so many birthdays and religious festivals to remember and celebrate.

“Virtually every month there is something going on, if it is not a birthday it is some kind of celebration, Christmas, Easter, Eid,” he said. “It is a big pull on the little amount of benefits that we do get.”

 Mohammed,a religious man believes that there are more important things than money.

“I am the richest man in the world with these children,” he said. “I have a big family, I am on benefits, there is a worry there but god always sees us through

Most Wanted Cultist In Lagos, Anarchy Killed In Bariga During Gun Battle With Police

 

Most Wanted Cultist In Lagos
Eiye Cult Leader Anarchy Killed In Bariga Lagos During Gun Battle With Police.A suspected cultist leader identified as Anarchy was on Tuesday killed by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command.
Anarchy was gunned during a shoot out between the cult group and the police at the Bariga area of the state.
The deceased, who was said to have been on the police wanted list for a long time, allegedly led his gang members to Bariga for a cult war, but were intercepted by policemen.
We gathered that the cult group opened fire on the policemen who retaliated and in the process, Anarchy sustained gunshots injury.
Confirming the development, the state’s Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, said Anarchy died while he was being rushed to the hospital.
He said: “The police got a distress call from Bariga about rival cult groups engaging in superiority battle.
“Some of the cult members were led by Anarchy, a notorious cultist who has been declared wanted and has since gone into hiding.
“The cultists engaged the police in a shootout, but one of them was arrested.
“However, Anarchy suffered gunshots injury and passed on before he got to the hospital.”

Over 600 Muslims Killed and Injured While Trying To "Stone The Devil" In Saudi Arabia Hajj

More than 200 people have died and 390 injured in Saudi Arabia after a stampede of pilgrims at the desert plain of Mina, near the holy city of Mecca.



The incident took place as almost 2 million people arrived in Saudi Arabia to make the Hajj pilgrimage in honour of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim feast of sacrifice. This is one of the worst incidents in years to hit the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia, officials said.

Saudi Arabia’s civil defence service released the toll and said rescue operations were under way. It
was not immediately clear what had caused the stampede.

Pilgrims had converged on Mina just outside Mecca on Thursday to throw pebbles at one of three walls representing Satan, the symbolic “stoning of the devil” that marks the last day of the event.
