Kaduna Man Sets Self on Fire After Theft Accusation

First it was a Tibetian exile setting himself on fire during a protest. Now it is a Kaduna man setting himself on fire because he was accused of theft by his colleagues. 
Muhammad Awwal was accused of stealing a truck spare part and he poured Kerosene on himself and threatened to set himself on fire if the accusation wasn't stopped. The people around watching what was happening thought he was joking but were convinced otherwise when he actually carried out his threat. All efforts to put out the fire were in vain and he died while being taken to a hospital.


HollyWood Royalty Meets British Royalty


Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem

First it was Prince Harry that moved next door to Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace. Now it is Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.


Bardem is in town to shoot the new James Bond movie Skyfall so while he out working, Cruz has been staying at their new London home to look after their 14-month-old dog, Leo. It is gathered that the Couple's flat is just a stone's throw away from Will and Kate's Kensington manse, and that both properties share an adjoining parkland.
Who knows? Maybe the British royalties may send a welcome-to-the-neighbourhood pie!

Scientist Who Was Out to Challenge Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity Resigns After His Findings Were Overturned


Antonio Ereditato, an Italian professor who led an experiment to challenge one of the fundamentals of modern physics by showing particles moving faster than the speed of light, has resigned after the finding was overturned earlier this month. 
The OPERA experiment (as it is known as) measuring the speed at which sub-atomic particles called neutrinos travelled from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (popularly known as CERN) research centre in Geneva to Gran Sasso in central Italy at first appeared to show they had flown the 730 km stretch 60 bilionths of a second faster than light placing the speed at 4.38 * 10^ 16 metres per second compared to that of light which is 3 * 10^ 8 metres per second. Had it been confirmed, the finding would have disproved Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity, one of the foundations of modern physics and cosmology, which holds that nothing in the universe can travel faster than light.
The result of the experiment was later called into question by separate experiments and CERN said the OPERA result appeared to be the result of a measurement error or malfunction.
Sorry Professor Antonio, but you can't disprove Baba Einstein that easily.
