Events / Identical Triplet Sisters Got Married Together In A Joint Wedding In Brazil by dotdazzle: 10:31pm On Apr 02, 2015
Identical triplet sisters gave guests triple vision when they walked down the aisle and said "I do!" together at their joint wedding in Passo Fundo, Riuo Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Tagiane Bini, Rocheli Bini and Rafala Bini, all 29, wore the same dresses and had the same hairstyle and makeup when they tied the knot. The only difference among them were the colors of their bouquets.

The ceremony, which took place in Catedral Nossa Senhora Aparecida on March 21, was "special and one of a kind .

There were over 600 guests, Tagiane's husband is Eduardo, Rocheli's husband is Gabriel and Rafaela's husband is Rafael.

The men have hilariously mixed up their brides in the past, Eduardo once mistook Rocheli for Tagiane and accidentally hugged Rocheli from behind.
But the grooms had no problem differentiating the loves of their lives on the big day, Eduardo said he could instantly tell who Tagiane was because "she was the most beautiful one,"

Tagiane Bini who was better able to communicate in English.

The three sisters chose traditional decorations and have always had nearly identical tastes in clothing and hairstyle.

The family has a tradition of marrying relatives on the same day

Politics / The Drug Kingpin Behind “orange Is The New Black” Has Won A Nigerian Senator by dotdazzle: 8:07am On Mar 31, 2015
Prince Buruji Kashamu, a wealthy Nigerian businessman with a checkered past, has surprised many in the southwestern Ogun State by winning a senate seat for president Jonathan’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The PDP lost most of the seats it contested in this weekend’s elections.
But that isn’t the most remarkable thing about Kashamu.
For 17 years he has been wanted in the United States for allegedly acting as the kingpin of a drug smuggling and money laundering ring. It was the same operation that landed American author Piper Kerman in jail for a year and inspired her memoir Orange Is The New Black. Kashamu strenuously denies the charges and claims it’s a case of mistaken identity; he says the US really wants his late brother.
There has been talk at times in Nigeria about extraditing him to the US. But being a strong supporter of the PDP, which has run Nigeria for the past 16 years, the move always seemed unlikely. Although former president Olusegun Obasanjo wanted him kicked out, he never managed it. Now Kashamu is going to sworn in as a senator, making the possibility even more remote.

Kashumu has proved an extremely slippery figure for US authorities, as the Chicago Tribune reported in 2013:
The case has frustrated prosecutors here, in part because they once had Kashamu in their grasp but lost him. English authorities arrested him when he landed there in 1998 and held him for five years during extradition hearings. Ultimately, however, British courts let Kashamu go after ruling that Chicago prosecutors had tainted their eyewitness identification evidence by failing to disclose that one of his co-defendants failed to pick him out of a photo lineup.
Kerman’s 2010 book about her time in jail was adapted into the critically acclaimed Netflix series of the same name. Most of the characters in the TV show are inspired by her experience, but her bosses have not been portrayed as Nigerian. However, Kerman’s book references a Nigerian kingpin known only as “Alaji”:
A little bit of Web research revealed that the man I knew as Alaji was a wealthy and powerful businessman-gangster in Africa, and I could certainly imagine that he might have connections that could make pesky things like extradition treaties go away.
Typically, “Alhaji” is a title used by Nigerian Muslims who have made the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Kashumu is a Muslim.
The US government’s most recent offer for Kashumu to answer his charges included some helpful travel advice, according to the Chicago Sun-Times:
If the Nigerian politician and businessman who was the alleged kingpin behind that ring wants the case to finally go away, he’ll have to hop on a plane to Chicago, a U.S. Appeals Court has ruled.
And the 7th Circuit was even nice enough to give fugitive Prince Buruji Kashamu a hint where he can find “reasonably priced flights” from Lagos to Chicago

Politics / APC And PDP Supporters Clashed In Kaduna by dotdazzle: 11:52am On Mar 24, 2015
All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, on Monday in Kaduna continued his campaign with a one-million-man rally.

The one-million-man march grounded the state capital as supporters of the former minister took over the major streets in the metropolis.

But the rally later turned violent as APC supporters clashed with supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the state.

No death was recorded but some people were reportedly injured.

The APC supporters tore posters and pulled down billboards of President Goodluck Jonathan, his running mate, Namadi Sambo as well as that of Governor Mukhtar Yero.

This, according to an eyewitness was in retaliation for the posters and billboards of the APC presidential candidate, Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), and that of El-Rufai that were allegedly pulled down by PDP supporters in the state capital.

Our correspondent gathered that trouble started when security operatives stopped the march, which took off from the Ahmadu Bello Stadium.

The APC supporters were asked to move from there to Kaduna International Trade Fair Complex on Kaduna – Zaria Expressway.

This did not go down well with the supporters, who were chanting “changi(change), changi (change) dole”, venting their anger on anything in sight that had the label of the ruling party.

Things almost got out of control at the popular NEPA Roundabout when some supporters of the APC allegedly attempted to scale the fence of the Goodluck/Sambo Campaign office but they were met with stiff resistance from the PDP supporters, who were on hand, leading to a free-for-all.

At the time of filing this report, five persons sustained injuries and were currently receiving treatment at the Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital, Kaduna.

The Kaduna State Security Outfit, code-named ‘Operation Yaki’, arrived the scene, dispersed the warring parties and saved the PDP campaign office from being set ablaze.

Kaduna State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Zubairu Abubakar, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident, saying arrest had been made.
