Prank Callers: Mel Greig (left) and Michael Christian (right) inset: Will and Kate

A nurse and mother of two, Jacintha Saldanha, in the hospital where Kate was admitted for severe morning sickness was found dead near the King Edward VII Hospital today. She transferred a prank phone call from two Australian radio presenters pretending to be the Queen and inquiring about the Duchess of Cambridge.

She answered the hoax call at 5.30am on Wednesday morning and transferred the call to another nurse in Kate's ward who then gave details of Kate's condition to the giggling DJs/presenters, Mel Greig and Michael Christian from 2DayFM who were pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles. Jacintha died just two days after the prank call in a suspected suicide.

The station apologized for 'any inconvenience caused' but provoked widespread fury and disbelief by continuing to promote the hoax, calling it 'the prank call the world is talking about' before playing clips of the recording while referring to it as the RoyalPrank. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be 'deeply saddened' by the tragedy and a Palace spokesman said the couple had not made a complaint about the prank call.

SENATE REFUSES TO GIVE SAMBO EXTRA N7B FOR NEW HOME/OFFICE

The Senate has rejected the request to appropriate N9 billion more on the yet-to-be completed official residence of Vice President Namadi Sambo, in addition to the N7bn already spent.

The threat by the Senate came after an inspection of the project as part of the oversight function of the Senator Smart Adeyemi, PDP, Kogi West ,Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory. Members of the Senate Committee could not hide their reservations having listened to explanations from the management of the FCT that an extra N7billion was required to complete the official residence of the Vice President, which was an addition to the N7.1bn already spent after being appropriated for by the National Assembly last year.

28-YEAR-OLD WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE OF LONELINESS

Sales manager Sharon Bukokhe, of Levenshulme, Manchester, was a high achiever working for a family planning charity but felt lonely because relatives including her husband lived abroad. Mrs Bukokhe, who was originally from Kenya, used her laptop to research ways to commit suicide, applied full make up and painted her nails then suffocated herself at her flat in April.

A diary found after her death said: ‘I think that any life is as valid as the next, such that an ending of 25 is as good as 88. I have no real regrets or fears any more, I just feel decisive and justified.’ Mrs Bukokhe, who appeared to friends to be ‘the happiest person in the world’, settled in the UK in 2002 and graduated in design and engineering at Nottingham Trent University, the inquest heard.

People need to understand that your life is not your own, you didn't create it, God did. So you have no right to take what does not belong to you. Also, suicide is a very selfish and cowardly act. How sad. Pls continue to read after the cut...

Gov. Akpabio and wife at the funeral service

The funeral service of Mrs. Allison Attah, wife of Obong Victor Attah, former governor of Akwa Ibom state took place on Friday 30th Nov. and it was quite a surprise when incumbent Governor, Godswill Akpabio in company of his wife, Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, and members of the state executive council and supporters stormed the funeral ceremony held at the Cardinal Ekanem Seminary Playground, Uyo.

Governor Akpabio and Obong Victor Attah have been at war since the former succeeded the latter in 2007. Though both of them are members of People Democratic Party (PDP), Obong Victor Attah withheld his support for Akpabio in his 2007 election bid to support his son-in-law. Akpabio eventually won but there has been a rift between the two since then.

MARIJUANA BECOMES LEGAL IN WASHINTON STATE, USA

Last night, Washington State in the US legalized marijuana. There were crowds of happy people lighting joints under Seattle’s Space Needle early Thursday morning with no police officer in sight   The possession of an ounce or less of marijuana by adults over 21 is now legal under Washington state law but the law still forbids smoking it in public, which remains punishable by a fine, like drinking in public. What do you think of this move? Do you think it's wise to legalize marijuana for any reason?
