PHOTOS: Woman gives birth to Conjoined Twins
A 28 year old woman in India gave birth to conjoined twins after she was too poor to have an ultrasound during her pregnancy.The baby, born via C-section and weighing 7lbs 7oz, has two heads, two necks and two spines but only one body.Doctors now fear the baby girl, yet to be named, has slim chance of survival Dr Malik who delivered the baby said ‘The parents are very distressed and we are helping the family the best we can.We only came to know she was carrying conjoined twins after an ultrasound two weeks ago but it was too late to do anything by then.Now the baby is born we will do our best to save her and we hope to operate once her condition is more stable.’ Conjoined twins who share a single body have dicephalic parapagus – an extremely unusual form of conjoinment. Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus twins.

7 Things You Should Know Before Signing A Recording Deal
With the recent record label drama surrounding BrymO (the court injunction on him has been lifted), Skales and Vector, it seems that artistes think that signing a record deal is child’s play. Below are 7 pointers for artistes in record labels, and upcoming acts looking for a deal, to go through before signing the dotted line.
1. A record contract is a legal binding document. An artiste can’t walk out of a contract because he feels like it. There will be repercussions for breach of contract.
2. There is no perfect record label. It doesn’t exist. Record labels are made up of people, and mistakes will always be made. You just have to make the best out of any given situation.
3.nA record label is created to run as a business, and make profit. Irrespective of how talented you are, if your music isn’t selling or making profit, you will be kicked out. It’s a business not a charity.
4. Don’t stop hustling. Some artistes become so relaxed when they get signed to a label. That’s the wrong approach. Record labels have many artistes to work on with limited resources. It’s only artistes who show
they are willing to go the extra mile that will be noticed. Record labels don’t like lazy artistes.
5. Business is business. Don’t take anything personal. Leave your emotions before you walk through the door. The record business is a cutthroat business.
6. Nobody owes you anything. It doesn’t make sense to demand for a house and car when you haven’t brought a dime to the label. You only get treated based on what you have brought to the label. Nobody pays for potential. Record labels only reward success.
7. Only sign a record deal with an imprint that is on the same page with you artistically and creatively. Anything short of this, will lead to conflict at the end of the day. Know why you are entering the business, and find a record label that aligns with your goals.

–Eight- year-old Housemaid It took a while to rouse eight-year-old Sophia Shaidu, as she lay on her stomach on a bed in the children’s ward of the Aniyun Hospital, Gbagada, Lagos. The nurse who had taken our correspondent in to see her was happy that the girl could at least fall asleep after days of excruciating pains that kept her awake. “Some people are here to talk to you,” she was told. Sophia spoke only Ebira language. She does not understand English; not even pidgin English because her guardian did not enrol her in school after she was brought to Lagos to work as a housemaid about three years ago. So, our correspondent was only able to speak to her through an interpreter. One thing was immediately clear when Sophia finally sat up with a considerable pain: dark marks dotted her body from her neck to her ankle. She hung her left arm awkwardly, which made her flinch at the nurse’s touch. “We are planning to do an X-ray on the arm. It’s likely she has a fracture there,” the nurse said. “The marks on my body are from beatings,” the girl later explained. Sophia said that after one of such beatings, she had not been able to use her left arm, which was now swollen, hard and discoloured at the elbow area. The girl pointed accusing fingers at her guardian, Bashir Shuaibu, who is from Kogi State. But what brought Sophia to the hospital was more dire and life-threatening than just the marks on her body and the fractured arm. The little girl has a gash that is about six inches in diametre on her buttocks. It was created by sore, said to have developed after several beatings by Shuaibu. Sophia said each time he spanked her, her buttocks swelled up and before it healed up, he spanked her again. She told our correspondent that her parents asked her to live with him to make a living. She said, “We are not related. My parents asked me to live with him in Lagos so that I could work and make money to take care of myself. “He beat me almost every day and I don’t usually know what I did wrong. Anytime he beat me, I would scream and ask him what I did wrong, but he would not say anything. He would just continue to beat me. “He usually beat me in the buttocks. I got a wound after a beating and I could not sit. He beat me on the same spot every day. He used wire and spatula (what Yoruba call orogun).” Shuaibu is married and has a young child. Our correspondent asked if his wife ever joined in the beating as well but the girl explained that the wife usually told him to stop when the beating became too much. “The last time he beat me (last week Friday), madam complained again and said it was his beating that made my buttocks have sore. She then said they had to take me to the hospital.” When our correspondent visited the hospital in company with the Director of the Esther Child Rights Foundation, Mrs. Esther Ogwu, who is handling the case, the girl’s buttocks had been wrapped in a heavy dressing. But a doctor who treated the girl was so alarmed by what he saw that he took many photographs before he dressed the wound. “She still has a long way to go. Because of the extent of the injury, it cannot heal on its own. She has to undergo skin grafting. That cannot even be done at the moment, she has to remain in observation for a while,” the doctor said. The flesh on Sophia’s buttocks when she was brought to the hospital was oozing pus and had to be scraped off, leaving a large gash. The picture of the naked wound was so horrific that Saturday PUNCH could not publish it. When our correspondent asked Sophia if she ever thought about running away because of the physical abuse, she said she thought about it but she didn’t know where to run to. “I like my mother but I don’t want to go back to our village. My mother told me when I was leaving home to remain in Lagos and work,” the girl said. She said her mother did not know what she was passing through because she had never spoken with her since she was brought to Shuaibu’s house to work three years ago. She does not know her mother’s phone number. The girl said the man had told her parents that she would be enrolled in school, but that never happened. Shuaibu who was arrested and detained at the office of the Lagos State Taskforce has been released on bail. The hospital said he had not been forthcoming with the fund for the treatment of the girl. Shuaibu, who claimed he still intended to put the girl in school, said he only spanked her when she acted stubbornly, lied and defecated in the house. “Her parents are my relations. She is lazy and does no work. I did not know she had injury on her buttocks because she was hiding it. It was when we noticed it that we brought her to the hospital. I really regret that something like this happened to her,” he said. Ogwu said cases of extreme physical abuse on housemaids were becoming common in the country because perpetrators were not being jailed for such crimes. She said, “When we were contacted by nurses at the hospital and we visited the girl, what I saw was something I almost could not handle emotionally. I cried because I simply could not understand that a human being would do that to a child. “Is it that people do not know that physical abuse or any kind of abuse of a child is a serious crime? Or is it that people believe they can bribe the police and get away with this kind of crime when they are arrested? It is just very sad. “That child cannot be normal again because the money required for her treatment cannot be paid by the man who committed the crime. The only choice we have left is to see if the state government can wade into the matter and get her treated in a government-owned hospital.” She said the parents of the girl should be prosecuted along with the man who perpetrated the abuse. Our correspondent contacted the Chairman, Lagos State Task Force, Supol Bayo Suleiman, to find out what arrangement had been made to hold Shuaibu accountable for what he did. Suleiman said he was released on bail with sureties and had been directed to report to the task force office daily. He said, “Referring to the girl as a housemaid is incorrect because the man said they are relations. He was just trying to help the family of the child. The only mistake he made was that he did not bother to check if the spanking he gave the girl to correct her had left a physical injury on her. He was just trying to correct the girl to do what is right. “You know when a girl defecates on the bed everyday and one has tried to correct her with no change, he may have to punish her to ensure she changes. But it is unfortunate it led to this kind of thing in this case.” When told that the man’s ‘correction’ showed numerous marks of spanking all over the body of the girl, Suleiman said “Truly, spanking a child should have limits. But in this case, it’s just unfortunate that it led to such injury.” He explained that his office was still handling the issue to ensure that proper care was given to the girl. The Child Rights Act 2003, Section 14 states that “Every child has a right to parental care and protection. No child shall be separated from his parents against the wish of the child except for the purpose of his education and welfare.” Section 11 of the law also criminalises various forms of abuse of a child, one of which is the extreme physical abuse that Sophia has suffered.

Another Plane Goes Missing With 239 On Board Malaysia Airlines said on Saturday that it lost contact with one of its planes carrying 239 people to China. Malaysia Airlines said on Saturday that it lost contact with one of its planes carrying 239 people to China. * file photo Flight MH370 was on its way to Beijing when contact was lost, two hours into the flight early Saturday, the airline said in a statement. TheBoeing 777-200ER departed from Kuala Lumpur 12:41 a.m. local time with 227 passengers and 12 crew members and was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m., it said. Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news conference that the airline lost contact with the aircraft between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace and that there were no reports of bad weather along the route. Mr. Ahmad said the missing aircraft didn’t send a distress signal and had enough fuel to fly an extra two hours. He said the missing flight’s passengers include 153 Chinese nationals, 38 Malaysians and 12 Indonesians. Passengers from Australia, the U.S., France, Ukraine and Canada are also on board. Asked about the fate of the aircraft and passengers, Mr. Ahmad said: “I don’t want to speculate as search and rescue is still ongoing.” The flight normally takes six hours, initially over water before crossing Vietnam into southern China. Lai Xuan Thanh, chief of Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, told The Wall Street Journal that he feared the plane may have crashed in Vietnamese airspace. “We still need to confirm everything. [There were] no reports of bad weather in the region at the time of the signal loss. We are ready to deploy search-and-rescue operations.” A spokeswoman at Civil Aviation Administration of China said Malaysia Airlines notified it about the missing plane, adding the aviation regulator activated emergency plans and requested air-traffic control operations work closely with the airline and Malaysian authorities.
