Source: UK Daily Mail Kenyan special forces were today locked in a fight to the death with Islamic terrorists who have been barricaded inside a Nairobi mall with up to 40 hostages since Saturday. Witnesses described hearing four large explosions at the Westgate Shopping Centre followed by fierce gun fire after the military tried to break the three day siege by gaining access from the roof. It is feared that some of the gunmen inside may have blown themselves up, though a Kenyan government minister said that militants had set fire to some mattresses in a supermarket as a decoy. Update: It's been confirmed that the terrorists didn't blow themselves up, they set ablaze mattresses they got from one of the supermarkets in the mall, as a diversion. The terrorists have been corned in one of the rooms inside the mall.

Culled:  PM News NG   Marriage/relationship is a life of decisions; even the very idea of whom or when to marry is not sometimes easy. The process of making decisions (that was already tough for one person) now becomes tougher when there is a partner to share your view with.

There is no point feeling guilty each time you disagree with your spouse; this only shows you have a different mind and eye. It is good to mention here too that disagreement does not mean ‘to insult’ but the proc...

A collapsed building in Lagos The Chairman, Association of Town Planning Consultants of Nigeria, Lagos branch, Mr. Bisi Adedire, has said the spate of building collapse in the country can be checked if a system of building codification and registration is adopted by governments at all levels. Adedire said this in a document he made available to our correspondent on Sunday against the backdrop of the high number of building collapse that had been recorded in the country in recent times. He said the process would ensure that a code was assigned to every building and could be monitored for defects.  The ATOPCON chairman said, “With this code, all the details of any development can be accessed from a central system being linked to the Internet and appropriate actions taken. A more united approach to operation within the building industry is a sure bet to counter this menace. “Pulling together the wealth of knowledge and experience of each profession ...
