Australian magazine Womansday.com claims these photos show Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arguing on their hotel balcony while in town to promote a new movie last week. Their report below...

Three months after their fairytale wedding in France, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were witnessed having a blazing argument on their Sydney hotel balcony.

Just hours after reuniting in Australia for the first time in weeks due to their hectic separate schedules, Brad was seen throwing his arms up in a frustrated manner. Angelina meanwhile, appeared to be tired, upset and defeated.

Brad, 50, downed a Crown Lager at the early hour of 10am and the pair were both seen clutching cigarettes as their intense discussion raged on. Industry insiders tellWoman’s Daythat the tensions could be down to Ange’s hectic workload in the past year.

The couple, along with their youngest children, 6-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, were in town for the world premiere of WWII movie Unbroken, which director Angelina shot in NSW and Queensland.

By 6pm that same day, Brad and Ange had pasted on happy smiles for the cameras as their first red-carpet event as a married couple and greeted a throng of fans on the way to Sydney’s State Theatre.

Despite arriving together in a black Land Rover, they barely looked at each other at the event –Brad busied himself signing autographs, while Ange focused on speaking to the assembled media on the other side of the road.

WOW! I am a cancer survivor- Prof Wole Soyinka reveals

Literary Icon, Prof Wole Soyinka, revealed today at a press conference in Abeokuta Ogun state, that he's a cancer survivor. He said his appointment as a board member of the African Cancer Centre made him undergo a routine checkup last year which revealed he had cancer. He said he diagnosed with the disease in December 2013.

"It never occurred to me to test myself because men have their separate test like women and I have heard people who lost very dear ones, closed ones. They just told me, ‘Prof, we hope you’re having your own?’ And I told them I had one 10 years ago and he said, “No, no, do it regularly.” And by accident in December last year, I discovered that I had cancer.”.

Prof Soyinka who is cancer free now after undergoing a vigorous treatment that ended in October this year, said although he was uncomfortable speaking about his experience, he was obligated to speak about it now so as to get rid of the public perception that being diagnosed with cancer is a death sentence

"For me, this is not a decision which I like but I felt I have all obligation, being a member of African Cancer Centre, and also having even donated a performance during the festival, fund raising for cancer, I am under obligation to make it known and to also demystify cancer. Many people feel it is a death sentence. Family feel it; friends, colleagues, they begin to look at you as if you are a ghost once there is rumour you have cancer. No, cancer is not a death sentence, it is curable, I have undergone the treatment and I am able to tell you that I even have a model, that’s my certificate.” he said

Meet The Robber Who Steals Only On Sundays In Lagos

While many go to church on Sunday for worship, Kelechi Ikechi go about robbing on same day. How sad! The 24-year-old indigene of Abia State, who was arrested for burglary, has confessed that he steals only on Sundays by breaking into his neighbours’ homes after they had gone to their various churches.

Kelechi was arrested on Sunday after he broke into another neighbour’s flat to steal in the Ejigbo area. He was said to have confessed to police that he broke into Peter Ibeh’s house at Afolabi Obe Street.

Unfortunately for him, while carrying out the act, a trap was set for him and he was locked from outside and eventually caught in the act.

In his confession, Ikechi said he resorted to stealing from his neighbours after he lost his factory job. He said he chose Sundays to steal because it was convenient and that his neighbours spend much time at their various church services.

On his part, the complainant, Peter Ibeh, said his house was burgled every Sunday when he and members of his family are in church. He said this caused serious rift within the family members and he decided to find the root cause.

Ibeh said on the day Ikechi was caught, he hid one of his aides inside their flat and went to church with other members of the family.

He said it paid off when Ikechi broke in and his aide locked him from outside and raised the alarm which attracted other neigbours and he was promptly arrested and handed over to Police at Ejigbo.

After investigation, the jobless Ikechi was charged before Isolo Magistrates’ court for burglary.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge and the court granted him bail in the sum of N100,000. But he has been remanded in prison custody pending when he will fulfill his bail condition.

According to PM News, his trial will commence on December 1, 2014.

A 10-year-old boy, Usen Okon, who was thrown into the Imo River in the Ikot Abasi area of Akwa Ibom State, by his aunty over witchcraft accusation, has survived the ordeal.

According to PUNCH, Okon was under the care of his paternal aunt, identified simply as Ekaeyen, at Etebi community in the Esit Eket Local Government Area of the state as his parents had died. A few days ago, Okon was aroused from sleep by Ekaeyen who took him to her husband and asked him to confess to being a wizard. When Okon denied the witchcraft accusation, his aunt threatened to throw
him into a river.

The Senior Project Manager, Mr. Ayobami Ojedokun, of NGO - the Humanist Association for Peace and Social Tolerance Advancement and its partner, Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network, who are taking care of the boy told PUNCH:

True to her words, on November 16, Ekaeyen actually took Okon to the Imo River and threw him into the water thinking that the boy would drown. The boy came out of the water alive and went to their home, only to be told that her auntie had relocated.”

The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Mr. Iboro Victor, however said he was not aware of the incident.

“The incident is not to my knowledge right now,” he said.

SAD! LAGOS: Relatives find Decomposing Body of Female Director

The police in Lagos are battling to unravel the killers of a former director of the Lagos State Government, Mrs. Oluremi Jaiyesimi. The 63-year-old woman was found dead in her house in the Abraham Adesanya Estate, Ajah area of the state.

According to an exclusively report by Punch, the corpse of the former Director of Social Welfare in the Ministry of Youths and Social Development was not discovered until a week after she died.

By then, her body was said to have been decomposing with maggots emanating from the corpse.

A neighbour, who was suspicious that something was amiss after the former director was not seen for days, alerted a relation who resides in Surulere area. The relation called a friend of the deceased living nearby, who visited the house...

A police source said, “The friend accessed the house with his personal key and when he entered the compound, he perceived a foul smell.

“He also saw trays of onions and melon spread out to dry in the sun. They were already germinating, meaning they had been abandoned for a long time.

“The man decided to report back to the relative that he would not enter the flat because he could sense something was wrong.”

It was learnt that the friend, identified simply as doctor, reported the matter at the Ogombo Police Station.

The relation and some other anxious family members in company with police officers, were said to have forced the door of the house open, only to see the corpse on the floor.

When our correspondent visited the estate on Tuesday, he spoke with residents who said Jaiyesimi might have been murdered.

A resident, Kikelomo Banjoko, said, “A week to the incident, she came to buy sachet water from me and even spent more than one hour with me. She watched as I made pap and commended me for my hard work.

“The next day, which was a Wednesday, she introduced me to another woman in the neighbourhood, telling her that I was a hardworking woman.

“It was the Monday of the following week that I saw some people fumigating her house. Later, somebody told me she was dead. I was shocked.”

Another resident, who pleaded anonymity, said the former director was killed by somebody close to her. He added that the 63-year-old was “always security conscious”.

He said, “Once it’s late, no matter who you are, she will never open her door to you. She was very suspicious of people. She never had many friends. I am sure she couldn’t have slumped and died because she was very agile and healthy.

“The person who killed her must be a close friend or relative. To remove all traces, they took her phones, her generator and even her jeep was driven away.”

Punch learnt the killers also tampered with the Closed Circuit Television camera in the house, although they left her jewellery tucked under her pillow.

Findings by our correspondent showed that Jaiyesimi had travelled to the United States, where she was living with her children after she retired from the Lagos State Civil Service four years ago.

It was learnt she came back to Nigeria with her kids after her husband, with whom she had separated, died.

While the children travelled back after the burial, she decided to stay in her residence. She lived alone in the house, but usually called for the service of house helps and artisans on the telephone whenever she needed them.

She was said to have been killed between October 21, the last time she spoke with her children, and October 29, the day her corpse was found.

The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Youth and Social Development, Dr. Dolapo Badru, condemned the murder of Jaiyesimi, who he described as a passionate woman who cared for all.

In a telephone interview with our correspondent, he said, “When I heard about the incident, I was shocked. This was a woman who used all her life to serve humanity. She was especially passionate about vulnerable children. Such people shouldn’t die like that. Those who perpetrated this heinous crime must be caught and made to face the music.”

Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said police had begun investigations.
