An eight year old bride in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband. The girl, identified only by the name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8. Activists in the region want to put an end to the practice of marrying young girls, and have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family.

In Kuwait, bloggers offered their prayers for the "bride", but lashed out at th

A very interesting interview with Gbenro Adeoye of Punch Did you write exams in school in these big words? I used such words very-very freely in my exams both at the secondary school and in my university and little wonder I had the misfortune of my English results being seized intermittently in my O' Levels. WAEC released my results for the other subjects and withheld myEnglish result. This happened for about three years. Twice, I passed the University Matriculation Examination but I could not proceed to the University because of my English results that were not released.

No no no, it's just that I am in my elements when the colloquy has to do with the pax nigeriana of our dreams and one necessarily needs to fulminate against the alcibiadian modus vivendi of our prebend

No no no, it's just that I am in my elements when the colloquy has to do with the pax nigeriana of our dreams and one necessarily needs to fulminate against the alcibiadian modus vivendi of our prebendal political class. How did you start speaking in this manner? It all happened when my father brought me a teaser which stated that good orators had ruled the world and you must have to be a feisty orator if you must rule the world. As an impressionable young man, I alacritously threw myself into the whirligig of improving my usage of words by amassing new words on a daily basis. How do you talk to your wife, children and even your friends? I relate with my family and friends very warmly an
