Photographer drags TuFace, wife to court over wedding pictures
Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has fixed October 16, 2013 for the commencement of trial in a N120 million copyright suit filed against popular music star, Innocent Idibia, a.k.a. TuFace, his wife, Annie Idibia and their manager, Anthonio Anifite over photographs allegedly taken at the recent traditional wedding of the musician and his wife in Akwa Ibom State.
Abuja based photographer, Emmanuel Okolo, who is the plaintiff in the suit alongside his studio, Papilonmexy filed suit against the defendants.
He is asking for six reliefs, two of which include N100 million in general damages and N20million in exemplary damages.
At the resumed hearing of the case yesterday, neither TuFace nor his wife was represented in court. Anifite who is the second defendant was however represented by his counsel, J.O Uttute.
Meanwhile, a mild drama ensued when the judge openly admonished Uttute after the latter claimed that he had filed his defence when he had not done so.
The judge warned him not to come to this court again if he was not prepared for the case. “You told me that you have filed your response, but looking through here, there is nothing to that effect. And you are even smiling. Do you think you are here to joke? Never come to this court again if you are not prepared. You don’t even know when the case was filed and you are not prepared for it,” said the judge.
Also, the plaintiff’s counsel, Habeeb Oredola expressed worry over the defendants’ inability to appear before the court or be represented by a counsel after they were served with the writs of summon.
In the writ of summon, Okolo and his studio claimed they were contracted by TuFace’s wife through a third party, identified as Ms Chineze Anyaene to take photo shots at the traditional wedding held in Eket, Akwa Ibom state in March, 2013.
The plaintiff said, he was reluctant at the beginning since the offer was coming through a third party, but later accepted after he was convinced that the offer was actually with the blessing of the first defendant.
Annie Idibia was said to have later contacted the photographer after the wedding and demanded for the printing of 10 of the high resolution pictures taken.

"My Husband Wants Me To Have Sex With Other Men, He Says It Turns Him On"
My husband’s idea of a birthday treat for me was to take me to a sex club, where he picked up a guy for a threesome.
I’ve repeatedly told him I don’t want to have sex with anyone else but he tells me I’m the luckiest wife alive as no other husband would encourage his wife to have sex with other men.
We were both in our late twenties when we married 15 years ago. We have always had a very active sex life but he’s become increasingly hard to please. I had no problem with him watching porn or dressing up for him, but then he started talking about having a threesome with another woman to turn him on.
I thought he meant it just as a fantasy – something to talk about, not do – but he got the impression I was willing to hire a female escort and have sex with her as a turn-on for him. When I didn’t he got angry, and aggressive and made my life hell for weeks afterwards.
Lately he’s been talking about me having sex with a man as his ultimate fantasy. When he took me away for my birthday, I thought he’d realised how upset I had been and was making it up to me.
Then he picked up the guy in the club for a threesome. I knew I’d have to go along with it or the nextfew months would be unbearable. I wasn’t attracted to the guy at all but I had to act out everything my husband wanted while he made it even worse by videoing it all. I just switched off or I’d have lost my mind.
Now he watches the video repeatedly and has started on about us doing it again.
I have to behave like a slut otherwise he can’t get turned on. I just feel like an object for his pleasure. I know the kids deserve to have their dad around but I’m not sure how much more I can take – this is not a marriage to me. I hate it but he only cares about his own desires. I am married to a perverted stranger.
2 Pakistani girls shot dead for making a video of themselves dancing in the rain
Two teenage sisters, 16 year old Noor Basra and 15 year old Noor Sheza (both pictured above) were shot dead at their home in the town of Chilas, in Pakistan after a video showing the two girls laughing and dancing in the rain was circulated via mobile phones.
Apparently dancing with your sibling in the rain and filming it is a crime punishable by death in the Northern region of Gilgit. The video caused an outrage in the town and a few days later, five men invaded the girls home and shot them dead - for - wait for it - 'tarnishing their family's name'. Their mother was also shot dead.
The girls' step-brother, a man named Khutore, is being accused of arranging their murder because he allegedly wanted to 'restore the family's honour'. The sisters' other brother filed a case against him and the four other alleged accomplices who are now on the run. The police are investigating the case.
[PHOTO] Sri Lankan man claims to have lived without eating food for FIVE YEARS
A Sri Lankan man claims he has survived without food for the last five years.
Although experts believe humans can only live for two months without a meal, Kirby de Lanerolle insists he has only needed fresh air as nourishment.
The breatharian also claims his lifestyle - which he says harnesses light, wind and the 'vibrations of God' - can reverse the ageing process and make him immortal.
In an interview on TV show Taboo USA cited by The Sun, de Lanerolle said: 'There are energy sources out there that are greater than the food calories you are putting in your body.
'Calories come from photons and light and vibrations and wind. Anything can feed you if your energy centres are open.'
He admits to having eaten seven 500-calorie meals over the last ten months, but claims they made him feel ill.
He said: 'In this consciousness, when I do eat food, it makes me feel very tired. And my alertness goes away when I eat now.'
VITAL LIFE FORCE OR DANGEROUS PSEUDOSCIENCE?
Breatharians believe food and possibly water are not needed to sustain life.
Instead, all that's required is prana, a vital life force in Hinduism also known as 'living off light'.
Jasmuheen, formerly Ellen Greve, is credited with starting the Breatharian movement.
She advises followers to convert gradually, first becoming a vegetarian, a vegan, moving to raw foods, fruits, then liquids and finally prana.
However, many in the scientific community believe it is a dangerous pseudoscience that has caused many people to starve to death.
According to odditycentral.com, de Lanerolle was a drug addict at the age of 16.
But he has gone on to become a Gold medalist at the Junior National Level Championship for Rifle Shooting in 1995, winner of several boxing medals, Executive Advisor to the Ministry of Social Services in Sri Lanka and a successful entrepreneur.
He is also believed to be the only person known to have completed a marathon having only consumed water for three months.
He claims he owes his dramatic turnaround in fortunes to the breatharian lifestyle.
Around five years ago, he read about people who didn't eat for up to six years and didn't drink water for 40 days and 40 nights.
He was also convinced by the writings of a guru who said that cancer, diabetes and heart disease are caused by food.
He now wants to teach others to be breatharians, but experts are worried about his claims because some people have died trying adopt the lifestyle.
