Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced after 5 years of marriage. Katie's attorney, Jonathan Wolfe released a statement saying, "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family."

Wolfe adds, "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

Nigerian Man Allegedly Killed And Thrown From 5th Floor In Bangkok (Video)

Read a mail that was sent to Nations Newspaper.....

A 26 year old Kelechi Duru from Imo state was brutally thrown out of the window by a Thai police officer where he lives in Bangkok on the 4th of June 2012.

However, the embassy of Nigeria here in Thailand is aware of this ugly incident and they visited the scene of the incident but nothing has been done to bring the culprit to book.
This is the 4th person who has been killed in a similar circumstance yet Nigeria did not do anything, to our dismay the following day it was announced by Thai media that Kelechi committed suicide.
The name of this police officer is warra****.
The video footage and testimony from his Thai neighbors showed that the boy was intentionally killed. (youtube.com/dumuster) the most annoying part of the whole thing is that all his vital organs were removed even before he died.
I wish to once more remind you that there are well over 7000 Thai citizens living in Nigeria yet nothing happens to them.
