'You’re a very bad man' how 4yr old confronted Kenyan mall gunman who gave him chocolate & begged for forgiveness
Elliot Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother, Amber, who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister Amelie. Incredibly, the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.'
His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day.
Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13.

His mother, Amber, told of her family’s terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre.
The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck.
She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh.
'Then Elliot started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.'
After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one’.‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said “do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?’, the mother told The Independent.
‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go’.
Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother.
The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge under the meat counter is unknown.
The family’s escape is particularly astonishing in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children throughout the mall after Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday.
I have never gave my body to any other man …
ASUU STRIKE: Group Drags Union To Court
The suit, with the number NICW/Abj/242/2013 which also has ministers of labour and productivity, education, finance and justice, as well as secretary to the government of the federation as defendants, was instituted by the registered trustees of Golden Women of Integrity and Vision Association and Mrs. Florence Uche Ojieh.
In the suit, the claimants are asking the court to determine whether the strike action embarked upon by ASUU is not illegal and contrary to law and whether members of the union are not bound by the policy of ‘no work no pay’ and therefore not entitled to their salary during the period of the strike.
They also asked the court to determine whether members of ASUU are entitled to continue to retain their employment, having abandoned or deemed to have abandoned their work in the universities; whether or not the union complied with the mandatory provisions of Section 4 and 5 of the Trade Dispute Act CAP T8 LFN 2004 before embarking on the strike; whether the union has complied with the provision of Section 8 of the Trade Disputes Act CAP T8 LFN 2004; whether or not the minister of education is not entitled to determine the employment of the union, same having abandoned or deemed to have abandoned their work in their universities and whether or not the doctrine of collective bargain or the purported 2009 agreement can be the basis for the strike action by ASUU same not having been incorporated in their contract of employment between it and the federal government.
The reliefs sought by the claimants include a declaration that the strike action embarked upon by ASUU since July 2, 2013 is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
Other reliefs are an order of mandatory injunction directing the union to go back to work immediately and unconditionally; an order directing the union to return or refund all monies paid to it by the federal government in error or otherwise; an order directing ASUU to return to the negotiation table and a declaration that the strike action is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
VIDEO: A Player Scores Goal with His Private Part
One of the most original and, lets say ‘erotic’, goals has been scored in France during the football match between AS Groville and FC Mufflins.
FC Mufflins scored the goal by hitting the ball with his private part, which undoubtedly hurt like hell.
After a collision with a rival, the shorts of FC Mufflins forward went down, almost to the level of his knees. However the player decided not to waste time for getting his outfit back to normal and resumed playing. A few moments later he was able to score a crazy goal.
The referee approved the goal which sparked serious protests from the side of AS Groville team. It’s players have staged a naked protest right on the field.

Ajayi had already represented Nigeria at youth level, but is still eligible to play for England as he was born in Crayford.

Falling out of favour with Jose Mourinho: Players
Chelsea Players’ Player of the Year and the club’s Player of the Year for the second successive season, Mata could not have had a better season before Mourinho’s arrival. Now he cannot force his way into the first team at Stamford Bridge.
Iker Casillas - cost N/A
Once described by Mourinho as the best in the world, Casillas (pictured) was cast aside at Real Madrid by the Portuguese coach. Casillas reportedly fell out with Mourinho because he helped calm tensions between Spanish internationals at his club and at Barcelona after a series of fiery contests.

Sergio Ramos - cost £18m
According to reports, Ramos and Casillas issued an ultimatum to the club threatening to demand transfers if Mourinho was not removed from his post at the end of last season.
Pepe - cost £20m
Pepe was perhaps Mourinho’s greatest ally, but that changed after the Portugal defender expressed regret at the way the coach dropped Casillas. Mourinho then hit back, claiming Pepe's criticism of his management stemmed from the defender's frustration at losing his place to 20-year-old Raphaël Varane.
Kaka - cost £56m
The Brazilian midfielder was a bench player who was rarely called upon by Mourinho. Since his transfer back to AC Milan, Kaka said: "It wasn't Mourinho's fault that I didn't get to play. I tried to earn his confidence over the years but he just had other ideas."
Cristiano Ronaldo - cost £80m
Mourinho claimed his compatriot "maybe thinks that he knows everything and that the coach cannot improve him any more." The coach also claimed the "real Ronaldo" was the former Brazil striker.
Manchester United missed out on Gareth Bale after submitting bid, says Real Madrid president
Manchester United missed out on signing Gareth Bale after submitting a bid earlier this summer, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed.
The 24-year-old moved to Real from Tottenham earlier this month for 100million euros (£85.3million) after negotiations that lasted the entire summer transfer window.
But Perez has revealed the Spaniards were not the only club that tried to sign the Welshman, with Manchester United also submitting an offer.
While Bale eventually moved to Madrid for a world-record fee, Perez insists the club did not pay over the odds.
"Bale has come cheaply," he said. "Signing the best players out there is Madrid's philosophy and Bale was the best available player on the market this summer. We had been following him for two years.
"Tottenham did not want to sell. We learned that Manchester United had made an offer and we made one ourselves."

There's No €50m Difference Between Gareth Bale & Mesut Ozil'
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann insists that the difference between Mesut Ozil and Gareth Bale is not worth €50 million
Lehmann believes that Arsenal's acquisition of the German midfielder is of better value, he added by saying the Madrid's inflated prices dictate the high transfer fees paid elsewhere.
"In all honesty, Arsenal paid too much for Mesut Ozil, but that’s because Gareth Bale went to Real Madrid for so much more money. Nobody is worth that much," Lehmann told Spox.
"The Ozil deal was much better. I don’t see a €50m difference between the two players. That’s how that market works when a club like Real Madrid loses the plot."
Ozil already has four assists in the Premier League this season, and contributed in the three goals Arsenal scored against Stoke as the Gunners moved to the top of the table.

Bedroom Food Matters A Lot! When You Give Your Husband Well, No Woman Can Snatch Him- Aisha Falode
Be creative. ‘Daddy, it’s me and you tonight.’ Recreate that old time and they will enjoy it. Even when they are in the process of straying, they remember that my wife can give me what I want. Even if they want to, they are held back because the woman is fantastic, and they are wondering why they are wasting their time with these small, small girls. Forget about food. Although it is also important, those people they are going out to see are not cooking for them. That is the truth. Let’s be frank about it. Perhaps, if I was as matured as I am when I got married, I could keep my home. But I wasn’t mature. If I get a second chance today, God help the lady that will come and take my place.She will have to toil for it.
This is the time for women to wake up. Keep your relationship. Keep your man, whatever it takes. What is it that he is going to look for outside? I will give him double at home. This is what men want. We brought them to the programme on how to sustain your marriage, and they told us verbatim. Forget about the food. It is the food in the bedroom that is more important. Maybe in the days of our mothers, you know they were traditionalists, they were not adventurous.
I used my best friend to set up my Fiancee … What should I do?
My name is RoseMary, I used my best friend to set up my Fiancee in order to see if he will cheat on me. Men are so heartless, they change like weather. Now, My Best friend betrayed me and is now set to marry my fiancee, they have even sent me their wedding invitation.
I’m so devastated now…what should I do??

Kenyan massacre: Body of white woman terrorist found at scene after final assault
Has British 'White Widow' Samantha Lewthwaite, suspected to be the leader of the Islamic terrorists that attacked Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday September 21st, been killed?
It was claimed yesterday that the terror attack in Kenya was being led by Samantha, the widow of one of the 7/7 bombers, Jermaine Lindsay, who with 3 others killed 52 people in a series of co-ordinated suicide attacks in London using the public transport system during the morning rush hour in 2005.
Soldiers said a white woman wearing a veil was shouting orders to gunmen in Arabic during the bloody massacre inside the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi on Saturday. Samantha may have been killed today as a dead white woman was found among Islamic terrorists killed by soldiers as they stormed the mall this evening. Kenyan authorities haven't confirmed that the woman is really Samantha. Her name was first linked to the attack after Al Shabaab praised her on their Twitter account for leading the attack at Westgate mall.
Moments after the news of Samantha's demise broke, Al Shabaab, took to Twitter to claim that she's safe. Eleven soldiers were also wounded in the fight with the terrorists this evening. Kenyan police said that more than 200 civilians were rescued as troops took control of all the floors of the mall.
