Banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling Sells LA Clippers for $2 Billion!
ESPN reports that the agreement was signed Thursday and was sent straight to the NBA for final approval. Ballmer outbid former NBA star Grant Hill, who offered $1 billion, and a group of wealthy business people that included Oprah Winfrey. Ballmer's bid has also set a record price for an NBA team.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life by league commissioner Adam Silver after recordings of him making racist comments were made public. He authorized his wife Shelly to negotiate a sale of the team. Talk about balling big - Donald Sterling bought the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5M ($32.6M in today's USD). But was forced to sell his team.... for $2Billion! He got a 2.5 million dollar fine and a $2billion payout, so the question is - Who is the real winner now?

16-Year Old Only Child Murders Parents Because They Seized His IPhone
The story gets worse. Vincent was an only child being raised by his hard working parents Carol, 57, and father Wayne, 55, in their Norfolk, Virginia home. They did everything right - they lived in a good neighborhood, and helped Vincent become an honor roll student.
But he boy snapped one day . . . and turned into a moster. On December 19, 2013 Vincent left school early while his dad was still at work. He showed up at the family home and surprised his mother - by dousing her in pepper spray.
While the 57 year old woman was blinded and unable to defend herself, Vincent stabbed his mother in the eye, and then beat her with a crowbar and metal baseball bat 'until she stopped breathing'. A medical examiner noted 25 separate smashes and stabs on Mrs Parker's neck, face and head.
The animal then waited patiently over his dead mother's body until his father came in the house. He surprised his dad and hit him in the back of the head with a crowbar, smashing his skull. He then stabbed his father multiple times.
Luckily his father didn't die from the mortal wounds. He managed to call 9-1-1 and tell them what happened. When the ambulance arrived Carol had already died. Wayne survived a short time but died in the hospital.
Yesterday Vincent plead guilty to two counts of second degree murder. A psychological evaluation found him to be both 100% sane and intelligent. He was charged as an adult and will be sentenced in September.

Engineering Academy Of Samsung Announces 72 New Graduate Technicians
The Special Adviser to the Governor, Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project, Ms. Ronke Azeez, while addressing the graduands during graduation ceremony held in Lagos last week said that, "It is heart-warming to see the graduation of the first set of students from the academy.
These graduates have been equipped with the world-class skills to build a better future for themselves andto play an integral part in driving the economy of the state forward. The partnership between Lagos Eko Secondary School Education Project and Samsung Electronics is one of quality and excellence".
While appreciating Samsung for maintaining an international standard for the Academy, Ms Azeez appealed to Samsung to double its present enrolment due to the high demand for such skills in Nigeria.
She observed that more qualified technicians are critical to the country's development noting that Nigeria is faced with an urgent need to fill the supply and demand gap that has emerged in the industry for technical skills and the number of students that enter the job market each year possessing these skills.
Also speaking, Managing Director, Samsung Electronics West Africa, Mr. Brovo Kim said, "As Samsung expand into Africa we are striving to not only act ethically, but to positively impact the communities where our consumers live. We believe we will have the greatest impact by connecting our CSR initiatives to our history and core business.
Skilled graduates are key to helping us reach our business goals, providing us with a workforce of technicians and exclusive service experts needed to differentiate Samsung as a quality service-oriented company. With the goal to grow our business on the continent, we also know that we have to sustain our level of innovation. This can only be achieved if we invest in education to facilitate thought-leadership in Africa."
The new graduates are well poised to work in the electronics industry either as employees in repair centres, assembly lines or as independent entrepreneurs.
The academy was launched two years ago by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, to fast-track employability of African youths into the electronics job market.
Samsung Engineering Academy is a part of the global Samsung Hope for Children Outreach programme, a one-year free training course, which is aimed at improving the quality of technical education in public secondary schools as part of its goal to train10,000 electronics engineers across Africa by 2015.
The pilot phase of Samsung Engineering Academy programmes which had started in South Africa in 2011 is also running in Ethiopia and Kenya with plans to extend the initiative to more African countries by 2015.
The graduating students drawn from Government Technical College, Agidingbi, Ikeja, have successfully completed one year specialized training at the academy.
Accordingly, the students were trained to repair and service modern digital electronic devices such as LCD TV's, Smartphones, refrigerators, air conditioners and laptops among other appliances.
At the graduation ceremony held last week in Lagos, each graduate received a certificate of completion and certificates of achievement were also presented to fourteen students for their academic brilliance.
Meanwhile, the top four achievers were awarded prizes comprising of various Samsung electronics products.

I Can Not Deliver Your Letter To Boko Haram, First Lady Tells Nigerian Children
Addressing the children further and quoting the scriptures, she said it is non-biblical to abuse ones parents and leaders of a nation.
"The Almighty God commands us to pray for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our country and the President. Remember that a child that abuses his father and mother is disobeying God's commandment because the Bible says in Exodus 20:12 that you should honour your father and mother so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you."
They also presented letters to her to give the president and the Boko Haram sect, but the first lady responded and said she will give their letter to the president, but can't give Boko Haram sect because she does not know who they are. Her words;
"Let me thank the children that gave me a letter to give Boko Haram. Well, I have received your letter, but I am not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don't know Boko Haram and I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to the NSS or the Chief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly.
"To my children, thank you for your letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave to me. I will make sure I pass it to the President because it is addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram. That is why the two are different," she said.

MUST READ: Societal Pressure On Women's Marital Status -By Former Nollywood Star Actress Regina Askia
She wrote.... I just read a social media fight between two people I know and I chuckle to myself because my friend was blowing some hot words there - she was really vexed. succumb
Reading through the literary missiles, a few questions came to mind. Why is it that, generally when Nigerians fight their profanity centers around a woman's marital status, her age and to top off the insults, her private parts? Are these the yardsticks that we measure our women by? The marital status thing. Does it mean when a woman is not married she has no identity, she is less of a person or what? For a Nigerian woman to get any type of respect there has to be a man in the picture in what ever capacity? So it does not matter if you are wife number 6 at least you are wife? There is a vulgar saying that goes" Toto wey nobody get, na everybody get am". For real? That pretty much means that a woman unattached is nothing but a mobile body part that anyone can do anything to or with.....chaaiii!!
And so begins the race where mothers groom and condition their daughters to believe that their ultimate duty on Gods earth is to "find a man and born for am". I have often listened to educated folks down so much on women with comments like "They should have no say, after all they are going to get married off", Women think with their butts not their heads and my respect meter for them swings all the way dooownnn!! When we have more respect for our women we will begin to do better as a society. If you want to know the quality of men in any society look at how the women of that society are being treated. Of course its not all Nigerians but there's too many with this notion and something must be said. The age factor. - Another sexist point of view.
With notion of the one goal she must accomplish , the female now believes young and juicy is preference especially if you are at the other side of the biological clock and still have not found a man. So some of my soul sisters have designed a calibration where at 30. birthdays are celebrated every 3 years and at 40 every 4 years. Meaning if you are 30 you will turn 31 after 3 years ......so instead of kicking the other side of 40s with me my friends are mostly still 38. Where we could have fabulous and very accomplished women, celebrating milestones , sharing wisdom of lessons learned over the years, we have we see strong women dumbing down, hiding behind numbers, and an arsenal of paraphernalia that will ensure they don't get old. Look at any photographs of big chicks at any event, we all look bothered. Why? Shoes are biting, wigs are squeezing, body magic trying to snuff out the last breath. Sometimes we are dropping body parts, nails dropping , eye lashes hanging........Lord have mercy.
Check out the Leboutins, Louie Vuittons, Micheal Kors, name them, all in competition with the other as we live out social constructs designed to forever keep us mentally emotionally and even physically impoverished(How? Story for another day). We need to love and accept ourselves. Finally, the woman's private parts. The immediate way to gauge a persons mental quality is how he talks about a woman. It has nothing to with swag, bragado or just being a bad boy, a man who refers to a woman as a body part is quite simply an iIDIOT no if , ands, or buts, just keep it moving.
I find it very disturbing that of the myriad of problems in Nigeria, there recently was a move to put in the constitution the legality of underage marriage as opposed to making laws against pedophiles. Its disturbing that what an individual decides to do with their private parts became a matter of national debate and outcry but HIV, malaria, food shortage and Ebola (currently knocking on our doors) are decimating the populace.
These attitudes and perceptions of put out or shut up, money for hand back for ground are slowly turning our princess daughters into sex slaves, our turning our sisters and mothers into glorified prostitutes. If you have ever watched a pack of animals - you notice that they eat, fight, mate and sleep. The more highly evolved the animal in question the more organized their activities and interactions with group members. If this is our national psyche, then the women of Nigeria have a long road to walk because we must declare this consciousness unacceptable.
This is not who we are and we can do better. We must point our daughters towards higher ideals and goals. We need a mind reorientation and perception which must begin with an honest look at the person in the mirror. Our men must once again learn to respect womanhood. Merit ought to take its place once again. Lets us as a people rise again. Where do we start??

Boko Haram Sends BLOODY Threat Letter With Human Flesh To Adamawa State University + Students Desert School Hostel (Photo)
A source has told SaharaReporters that the letters are believed to be real, with school officials and the student body suspecting it is coming directly from the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram.
The tension Monday morning picked-up, when students in Barde Hall awoke and found a letter placed on a wall that was written in the Hausa language. The letter, when translated into English, reads, "Last warning."
But this time around, it had a pound of flesh clipped to the letter. It dripped with blood, and was described as somewhat black in colour, though looking as if it was not long since this section of human flesh it was cut off.
This caused panic among many of the students at the hostel. They then openly questioned the efforts of the university security men, and called them to the hall to remove the grisly letter. The students denied the letter was written and posted by a fellow student among them to the arriving security men. They then demanded to see the schools' vice chancellor.
The Adamawa State University Vice Chancellor is Dr. Alkassum Abba, who arrived shortly afterwards, and addressed the students in a tense exchange over the letters and this latest note placed on a wall dripping with blood. Abba was peppered with many questions from the assembled students about school security. But to many in attendance Abba's explanation was neither reassuring, or satisfying.
The Vice Chancellor according to a SaharaReporters source reportedly insisted that nothing will change with the school's academic calendar. Strangely, the students were told that their exams will be held as earlier scheduled.
As it stands now, many of the Adamawa State University students have packed their bags, and also, reportedly, packing out of the hostel.

Nollywood filmmaker, Chike Bryan Gets N10m From President Goodluck Jonathan For His Kidney Transplant In India
The President's support was made known to him by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) President, Ibinanabo Fiberisima at the AMAA awards in Bayelsa State over the weekend.
Acknowledging the support, Mr Bryan thanked the President as well as Ibinabo Fiberisima who helped to facilitate it in her capacity as the AGN President.

Teacher Who Defiled Minor Says One Of Them Made Advances At Him
The 38 years old nursery school teacher, Mr. Olayinka Oluwadare Folarin, who was arrested for allegedly defiling three under‑aged pupils in a toilet, yesterday, said it was one of the girls that made advances at him.
Folarin, who claimed his illicit romance with the minors was a demonic attack but shamelessly challenged policemen and newsmen interviewing him to throw the first stone at him if they had not sinned before.
"I have been doing this for a long time. I feel terribly bad each time I did it but I could not stop it. Why don't you find a way of helping me. Is this meant to expose me? "Some people should just think and reason with me. The person who has not sinned before should cast the first stone. If God did not forsake some people, I know he would not forsake me. I am a changed person now."....Keep reading
Narrating on how carried out his evil intention, he invited the girls into the toilet and put them in the wash hand basin in the toilet and then fondled their private parts. He confessed that he always used his hair cream to lubricate them. However, he denied using his manhood to penetrate any of the girls.
When asked why his claims contradicted the medical report which revealed that the hymen of the girls was not intact, he said it might have been broken elsewhere.
"I never penetrated them. I only used my manhood to rub their private parts. Yes, I used my hair cream to lubricate my organ to stimulate myself."
He lamented that since the incident happened, the school management had sacked and abandoned him, noting: "When the attack started, I called them." Though, he reportedly wrote in his statement that he used to abuse them on Saturdays, he said it was once a while.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olabisi Okuwobi‑Ilobanafor confirm the story said:
"The suspect had engaged in multiple defilement and all the victims said the same thing that he always abused them twice a week since last year. The third girl was lured by the suspect to cover his illicit affairs. The third girl he abused saw a note he wrote to one of the two girls when she was sweeping the floor and asked what was happening. The teacher then collected the paper; for fear of being exposed, he recruited her into the group.
She said the case would be transferred to the state Police headquarters because of its seriousness.
God help our children in the hands of evil teachers!

He may most likely have a clean shave or low hair-cut especially when he is ready to carry out the task. This may be done to disguise his real appearance.
He displays signs of drug use. For instance, his pupils become enlarged with fixed staring.
His breathings are heavy and rapid.
Mostly male who falls between the age range of 16 to 30 years of age.
He looks aggressive, restless, irritable and nervous.
Through his movement:
He walks awkwardly or clumsily in an unusual and odd manner. This is usually due to the unsuitable attire he is wearing and sometimes due to the weight of the explosive devices tied around his body.
He tries to be evasive in movement. This unusual gait is adopted to evade security agents and some other persons who may foil his plans.
Often times, he may not know the route to his target destination very well, hence he may occasionally ask for directions. One of the suicide bombers that struck at a church in Kaduna in late 2013 had to ask commercial motorcyclists for direction to the church he eventually struck.
Through his kind of person/other features:
He tries to blend into a group which he clearly does not belong to. For instance, he tries to attend Church worship services even as a non-Christian with clear intention to carry out surveillance and identify vulnerable areas before attack.
He demonstrates forceful actions in order to reach his desired target by pushing the crowd so as to find his way into a restricted area or showing desperations to reach a crowded point or particular target.
He will usually have an unusual herbal smell. This is as a result of incense used in the final rituals performed on him as he takes off for the suicide mission.

Nigerian Journalist With Access To Boko Haram Flown Home To Negotiate With Group
Anyway according to new reports, the Nigerian government flew him back home a few weeks ago to negotiate with Boko Haram on their behalf, since he's the only civilian who has allegedly seen Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and come out alive. He reportedly came back home after the Nigerian government assured him that he will not be arrested.
From UK Daily Mail
One hundred non-combatant, low-level sympathisers were to be freed and the two groups brought together in a convoy of buses accompanied by a hand-picked go-between, respected Nigerian journalist Ahmad Salkida.
The plan had been agreed in tortuous negotiations in response to worldwide outrage over a night-time raid on a school in the town of Chibok on April 14 when the girls were abducted from their dormitories.
Mr Salkida was born in Borno State, where Boko Haram originated. He has known its leaders all his life and has unprecedented access. He has been arrested on several occasions accused of being a Boko Haram sympathiser, and he fled with his family to Dubai two years ago.
But two weeks ago, he was summoned out of exile by President Jonathan's aides. He initially feared he might face arrest, but was then given a letter of indemnity signed by the President when he flew to Nigeria.
Sources said Mr Salkida was able to travel by taxi to the group's forest camp to talk to Shekau two weeks ago. 'His mission was secretive and dangerous,' they said.
He is probably the only civilian with access to Shekau. There is trust between them and Salkida had only one aim – to get the schoolgirls out.
He reported afterwards that the group of girls he saw were alive and well, and being adequately fed and sheltered. They told him all they wanted was to go home.
Salkida's mission was complicated by the chaos surrounding government's pronouncements about negotiations with the terrorist group.
Shekau has released two shocking videos showing the girls dressed in hijabs and reciting verses from the Koran.

Kim Jong-Un EXECUTES Engineers By Firing Squad After Deadly Building Collapse Kills 500
More than 500 people, including high-ranking intelligence and police officials, are thought to have died when the 23-storey building crumbled in the capital, Pyongyang.
Kim was reportedly unable to sleep after learning of the tragedy last week, thought to have been caused by poor workmanship.
According to a Japanese newspaper with sources in North Korea, the key officials and engineers behind the building of the apartment complex have been rounded up and handed down deadly or severe punishment.
Four design and construction engineers were executed by firing squad and a military official in charge of the project was sent to a prison camp, a source told the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper.
The Japanese newspaper said that although the exact cause of the accident remains unclear, shoddy construction is likely to be the cause because on-site directors and workers often smuggle away steel and cement to sell on the black market.
Another Japanese newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, reported that the building was inhabited by top intelligence and police officials, which might account for Kim Jong-un's wrath.
