Turkish Airlines staff, Selim Tartan assaults Nigerian female traveler

According to the victim @addictbypawprint, this happened in Instanbul today. And right is the man she captured on camera trying to take her phone. Below is what she wrote, "I checked in and my boarding pass said I was on stand by. The guy who checked me in told me to go and wait at the gate that I might be lucky to fly. I asked him why I was not informed as I bought a confirmed ticket that I needed to see the manager. Then the manager comes and said I should go and check the website for the terms of Turkish airline because a confirmed ticket did not mean I would definitely get a seat on the flight. I then asked for him to show me where that was stated on my ticket. Then the guy said I should stand there and keep asking. Meanwhile, there was a family of 5 who had the same problem and we all were displeased so I started taking a video of how he spoke as it was an extremely bad service. The rest of it was assault. When we got to the boarding gate, 15 people had standby boarding passes. Some passengers had bought their tickets since May. Turkish airline sold seats that had already been paid for and then offered us 300euro compensation. Before I started with the video, I asked him for his name. He went as far as writing it down for me that I should take this to any where I wanted. Btw, he called the #turkishpolis, when the police saw the video. They asked us to go to the airport management because Turkish Airlines is a big company in the country and there was nothing they could do. They asked us to delete the video but we declined. Airport mgt did not even listen to us. They asked us to go back to Turkish airline." #turkishairlines #assault You see why I said #Turkey is my least favorite destination?

Church members chase pastor from church for impregnating maid

There was commotion on Sunday at the United Methodist Church, Mafoluku, in the Oshodi area of Lagos as members of the church chased away their pasto for allegedly impregnating his housemaid. It was learnt that the pastor, Barkuma Andrew, was stopped from leading the church seven months ago when the housemaid, who was also a member of the church, Grace, had complications after aborting the pregnancy. Andrew had lived with his wife, children, wife’s cousin, Favour, and Grace in a three-bedroomed flat on the church premises before the incident. It was gathered that the members had petitioned the Central Conference of the church in Taraba State to investigate the alleged accusation. Then sought the service of another pastor three weeks ago when the district reportedly failed to probe Andrew. At 10 am on Sunday, members of the church showed up for Sunday service only to see that Andrew and some “unknown” people had commenced the service. This angered the congregation which proceeded to cha

Boko Haram kills 56 in remote part of Borno State

Islamic extremist group Boko Haram killed 56 villagers in a remote area, the governor of Borno State of the region said, as the government warned that the extremists are trying to extend their violent campaign. Gov. Kashim Shettima confirmed the attack in Baanu village during a meeting with the parents of the 219 girls abducted from a school in the region by the extremists last year. Thursday marked 500 days of captivity of the girls from a school in Chibok. "I want us all to understand that the Boko Haram crisis is a calamity that has befallen us, as the insurgents do not discriminate whether somebody is Christian or Muslim, neither do they have any tribal sympathy or affiliations. Just yesterday they killed 56 people in Baanu village of Nganzai local government, as I am speaking to you their corpses are still littered on the street of the village because virtually everyone in the village had to run for their lives". He did not provide further details of the attack. Fleeing

12 yr old boy rips a hole into 350 yrs old painting worth $1.5million

A 12-year-old boy in Taiwan accidentally ripped a hole into a 350-year-old painting by Baroque artist Paolo Porpora that's worth over $1.5 million, according to the exhibition's organizers showcasing the painting. The boy was caught on security footage this past Sunday at "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition in Taipei, according to the exhibition's Facebook page. The video shows the 12-year-old tripping over a rope barrier and trying to catch his balance on the 17th-century oil painting titled "Flowers." He accidentally punches a hole the size of a fist into the painting and looks around, apparently in shock, when he gets up. The painting, 6.5 feet tall, was being restored on Monday by a Taiwanese art restorer before it was shipped back to Italy, according to Sun Chi-hsuan, the head of exhibition co-organizer TST Art of Discovery Co., Taiwanese news network Central News Agency (CNA) reported. The exhibition was also temporarily closed M
