Wonders will never cease. Reports just reaching us say that luxury and swanky apartments in choice areas of London are now being snapped up by wealthy overseas students before the city's bankers and other middle-class, working class people. According to research by the London Central Portfolio, undergraduates now prefer flats in some of central London's most exclusive addresses to cramped halls of residence.

DESMOND ELLIOT DENIES SLEEPING WITH 2 SISTERS
In 2013, the rumour-mongers were at it again, as the news went viral that multiple award-winning Nollywood actor, movie producer and director, Desmond Elliot was sleeping with 2 biological sisters. Surprisingly, Desmond never refuted the damaging allegation then.
Last week, the highly talented actor finally broke his silence on the knotty issue. According to him,the 2 ladies in question were not biological sisters in the first place. They were his wards, and were placed under his custody by their parents who travelled abroad. He clarified that the malicious rumour was the handiwork of his detractors who are envious of his remarkable success in Nollywood, and he never slept with the 2 sisters.

HUSBAND CLUBBED HIS SLEEPING WIFE TO DEATH WITH HAMMER FOR SENDING ROMANTIC TEXT MESSAGE
A possessive and fiercely jealous husband, Danish Irfan,22, has battered his sleeping wife to death with a hammer after he discovered a romantic text she had sent to another man. He hit his wife, Ridda Zanab's skull so hard that fragments of bone were forced into her brain, killing her instantly. The content of the text message sent by the late wife is: ''I LUV YU, GUD NYT.'' Tragically enough, the 21-year-old victim had only given birth to the couple's first child 2 months ago. After murdering her, he lied to his family that Ms Zanab had left home out of her own volition. Bradford Crown Court heard that he then flew to Pakistan on a false passport.
However, he confessed to a close friend that he had killed his wife before he left the country. When the police broke down the door to their home on the afternoon of November 4, 2013, they found Ms Zanab's decomposing body.

DISGRACED ROLF HARRIS TAKEN TO 'SOFT' PRISON IN OXFORDSHIRE
Disgraced artist and entertainer, Rolf Harris, who was sentenced to five years and 9 months behind bars for a string of sex attacks was initially said to be heading to the tough Wandsworth Prison in South West London.However, he was reportedly fast tracked to a soft prison in Oxfordshire, and he did not spend a single night in tougher Wandsworth. Suggestions are rife that he was given a preferential treatment.
Harris's prison sentence has already raised eyebrows, as he could be out in less than 3 years.

DIVISION IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OVER PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S $1 BILLION LOAN REQUEST
There is palpable division among the members of the National Assembly on whether or not the $1 billion loan request made by President Goodluck Jonathan should be approved or not. In his letter to the National Assembly, the President claimed there is an urgent need for the huge sum of money to upgrade the equipment of the armed forces and the training of the personnel in order to confront the Boko Haram insurgency.
The big question most of the National Assembly members are asking is that President Jonathan should be able to account for the money released so far to fight the insurgents. According to Senator Magnus Abe[ APC,Rivers State] in a recent interview with SUNDAY PUNCH,''I have nothing against the release of the money to fight the insurgency, but President Jonathan should satisfy himself and Nigerians that the amount of money so far released for the anti-terrorism activities had been judiciously utilised....it will be a very sad development if it turned out at the end of the day that the $1 billion being requested by the President was diverted into politics.''
Senator Babafemi Ojudu said the request by the President was ''not desirable and obviously, not justifiable.''
