Facebook is one of the fast-growing social network adopted by Youth and other IT personnel in the world. Facebook has both the positive side when it come to reaching or getting to know what is happening in other part of the world without moving an inch from the shore of your country and also negative as some individuals use it for their own selfish interest. Information reaching us has it that some HIV positive men have invaded facebook with the intention of spreading the deadly virus. we gathered that they have opened a forum called Bug Chaser. We were told that the men who want the virus are called “bug chasers,” and the men who freely give the virus to them are called “gift givers.” Experts have warned about a new craze in which men are secretly seeking and spreading HIV. The reckless practice, known as bug chasing, started in the US as a bizarre means of getting sexual excitement from risk-taking. Now, hundreds of men are introducing themselves on online forums, Facebook groups and Twitter. They meet up and try to transmit the potentially life-threatening virus. To bug chasers, HIV isn't a ruthless killer. HIV-infected semen is treated like liquid gold. It’s a gift – the most beautiful a man can willingly receive – spread through a secret breeding ground. Some bug-chasers actually claim the virus gives them a better quality of life because of the medication they subsequently have to take.

Air force Sergeant Arrested For Raping 13-Year-Old Boy
A prosecutor set a scene Friday of a frightened 13-year-old boy escaping after being raped in a guest room bathroom and running to an elevator at a Las Vegas Strip hotel, looking over his shoulder as if he feared he was being followed.
"He was able to struggle away after being sodomized," prosecutor Jacqueline Bluth told a panel of 12 jurors and two alternates hearing opening statements in the Nevada state court trial of Mazen Alotaibi.
Alotaibi, 24, a Saudi Arabian air force sergeant, sat silently dressed in a suit and tie at the defendant's table. He clenched his jaw but showed no outward emotion as he listened to an Arabic translation of the proceedings.
He has pleaded not guilty to nine felonies including kidnapping, sexual assault with a minor and lewdness with a child that could get him life in state prison if he's convicted.
His defense attorney, Don Chairez, maintains that Alotaibi was too drunk and unfamiliar with his surroundings to know what was happening the morning of the alleged New Year's Eve attack.
Bluth focused Friday on elevator camera images of the boy on the sixth floor of the Circus Circus hotel.

Why All Nigerian Airports Are Not Certified —Investigation
Aviation industry regulator, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, is yet to certify any of the 22 airports in the country because the airports have been unable to meet the requirements on the regulator’s checklist particularly in the area of security and safety in the last 20 years.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that NCAA had never certified any airport in the country since 2006 when the law that gave it autonomy to certify airports in line with international regulations was promulgated. A source close to the agency told our correspondents that none of the airports in the country was certified before NCAA’s autonomy. Saturday PUNCH gathered that the items on the checklist had to do with two major issues. They are security and safety. The security aspect has to do with control of access to the airport’s sterile areas or airside and the security of other major points like the catering departments, boarding gates, check-in points and perimeter fencing. The safety aspect, on the other hand, has to do with runway light, taxi way light, approach light, fire station and airport emergency response system, among others.

for the accommodation of exclusive members of the society who include senators
and members of the house of representatives and was subsequently occupied by
senior federal civil servants until its acquisition by 1004 Estate Limited for
7billion naira, according to report.

who is buying and where the money is coming from, we gathered that after the
refurbishment of the estate, it became a hot cake for anyone who is financially
buoyant and has interest. In this write up, ISAAC OGUNTOYE lists some of the celebrities who have made the place their home and
