Teacher forced dying 11-year-old with alopecia to remove her wig because it might encourage other children to dye their hair

                                                           

Ashanti Elliott-Smith, 11, was told to remove her pink wig by a teacher at Oakmeeds Community College, West Sussex. She suffers from a rare ageing disease called Hutchinson Gilford Progeria and is not expected to live past the age of 15. She wanted to wear the wig at school to hide her alopecia - a side effect of the condition. Her mother Phoebe Smith (left), said: 'She was devastated when they told her to take it off. Her little heart was broken. It's disgusting. It is bright but she should have the right to wear whatever colour hair she wants.' Colin Taylor, Headteacher Oakmeeds Community College, said: 'It was agreed by the Director of Inclusion and Head of Year that Ashanti would wear the wig home but not in lessons because it was not cold in the school and she had never wanted to wear one before.'                                                                     

Fuji Musicians Are Not The Only Ones With More Than One Wife- K1

Fuji lord, K1 the Ultimate has said marrying more than one wife in this part of the world is no big deal and also says fuji musicians are not the only ones with more than one wife. It happens in all professions, he said.

Why is it that Fuji musicians tend to prefer marrying many wives?

Marrying more than one wife in this part of the world is no big deal. And I must tell you that it is not peculiar to Fuji musicians alone. Late Fela Anikulapo Kuti was not a Fuji artist and yet he had 27 wives. It is an issue that has to do with the individual, it has nothing to do with a career or a set of people. Aren’t there Fuji musicians with one wife? Don’t judge people in generic terms, judge them on individual terms, he told Vanguard newspaper.

Boko Haram Denies Ceasefire, Says Chibok Girls Are Already Married Off

Boko Haram have denied that they had agreed to a ceasefire in a new video obtained yesterday by AFP, describing the Nigerian government claims as a lie and apparently ruling out future talks.

The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, also claimed the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from the remote northeast town of Chibok, in Borno state, in April had converted to Islam and been married off.

2015: Why I insist Jonathan, Buhari Should Not Run – Sheik Ahmad Gumi | Vanguard

                                     

Sheik Ahmad Gumi welcomed us into his  modestly furnished, new apartment somewhere in a highbrow part of Kaduna town. He was there waiting for us, with broad sparkling grin that seemed to illuminate his gray beards. Sheik Ahmad Gumi

As we exchanged pleasantries, the man who had sparked a national debate with two letters he had written to some Presidential aspirants,  appeared much younger that pictures portrayed of him. Our main mission was to find out why he wrote President Goodluck Jonathan and Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) not to contest the 2015 Presidential elections and to have his take on the insurgency ravaging the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Premier League - Paper Round: Gareth Bale says 'no' to £90m Man Utd move

             

                                                                 Gareth Bale.

Bale says ‘no’ to United: The Daily Star Sunday bring us the news that Gareth Bale “is not interested in swapping Real Madrid for Manchester United in the January transfer window.” United had been linked with a £90m world record move for the Wales star, who joined Madrid last summer for £86m, as team-mate Isco has been performing to a high standard and there have been suggestions a deal could be on the cards. However, the Star adds: “In addition to Bale's reluctance at the switch, the Champions League winners are also not willing to sell.”

Paper Round’s view: That last sentence tells you all you need to know: this is a total non-story. There’s no way Madrid will sell Bale, who has been largely fantastic, and why on earth would he want to leave the Champions League-winning club and forsake the chance to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo? Let’s hope this puts an end to these silly rumours.

Football - 'Dangerous' Alexis Sanchez delights Wenger

             

                                      Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez celebrates (Reuters)

Sanchez has impressed following a £30million move from Barcelona after the World Cup, and his industry was rewarded on 70 minutes with a powerful header, having earlier been denied by fine saves by busy keeper Tom Heaton as Burnley held off the Gunners' onslaught with a string of blocks by the dogged defence.

England defender Calum Chambers netted a quick-fire second two minutes later, lashing in his first Arsenal goal following a corner, with both Heaton and the woodwork saving Burnley further after Theo Walcott had made a welcome return off the substitutes bench from a long-term knee injury.

Sanchez waltzed in a third during stoppage time - his 10th of the season - as Arsenal moved above West Ham on goal difference, and level with Manchester City, who play on Sunday.
