India's mammoth elections are now under way, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi widely expected to win a third term. Since coming to power in 2014, Modi has expanded subsidy programmes for the poor and women. These programmes include measures like equipping homes with butane gas by offering free cylinders or distributing free food rations. Some 60 percent of the population benefits from Modi’s food distribution scheme, which he has pledged to renew for another five years. Another success story is the nationwide rollout of digital payment services. Meanwhile, critics say the prime minister is eroding democracy by targeting opposition parties and controlling the media.

The Croatian city of Vukovar, on the banks of the Danube, has a painful past. Located on the border with Serbia, it was the scene of the first major battle in the 1990s Balkan wars. Four years before the genocide in Srebrenica and eight years before the war in Kosovo, Vukovar was the first city in the former Yugoslavia to suffer ethnic cleansing, in 1991. More than 30 years later, reconciliation between local Serbs and Croats is hindered by impunity for war crimes and the inability to agree on a common version of events.

Not all that glitter is gold…..
Its so vulgar to see dollars(foreign currency) been sprayed openly in Nigeria.
Crimes of passion is evil and consumes all involved. Its better to simply ‘walk away!’ There are always better options in the future and likely situation turn-over for good if one walks away from a broken heart or an emotional disappointment . We don’t have to kill each other. So sad.
Nemesis has simply caught up.
It began with diamonds and hearts but ended with clubs and spades
This story is sad and unfortunate. I pray to God to intervene and heal the deep wounds created by this tragedy. The two families are devastated and they need our prayers and sympathy at this time. I feel pained that this happened. It’s fashionable for people to blame “Satan” as responsible for Biyamin’s untimely death. Only The Almighty God knows the end from the beginning.
I want to caution women, generally, to “love their husbands wisely, not forcefully”. I was young and now I am old and I have never heard of any woman who so loved her husband that she “jumped into the grave when her husband was being buried” to be buried together?. Never so happened!
May the young soul of Bilyamin rest in perfect peace. May God intervene and bring peaceful resolution in this matter for the sake of their little girl. Quite sorry for this sad incident. All should take heart.
We will review and take appropriate action.
