Mr. Price Clothing Store Staff Humiliate 3 Girls they Caught Shoplifting

Last Monday in Ghana, 3 young girls, believed to be students of the University of Ghana, were humiliated after staff of Mr Price Clothing Store, Accra Shopping Mall caught them allegedly shoplifting panties.

The three victims, names withheld, were made to crawl on their knees for about 200 metres from the shop to the entrance of the mall, while an excited crowd laughed, jeered, called them names and recorded the entire incident using their phones. According to reports, that was after the security men on duty reportedly asked
the women whether they preferred to crawl or be handed over to the police, to which they chose the former.

The video went viral on social media networks and blogs shortly after the incident. Watch it below.

Shaken and subdued, the young girls told their story to MyJoyOnline.Com, that they were considering legal action against their oppressors at Mr. Price for the inhuman treatment meted out to them.

Narrating the incident, the ladies admitted to shoplifting, that they had gone to Mr. Price to buy some clothes but took more than they paid for after trying them on.

Caught and faced with embarrassment, they apologised to the staff but their plea for forgiveness was not taken. Their offer to go home and get money to pay was also not taken. A good Samaritan’s attempt to even pay for them was shot down by Miss Roberta, the shop's manager, who warned him not to come any close to their shop.

They said Miss Roberta, made them kneel down for at least 25 minutes before barking orders at them to crawl amidst verbal and physical abuse. She is said to have also encouraged others to join in smacking them as they crawled four minutes from the shop to the exit

“If anything they should have sent us to the police station..it’s not fair,” one of th traumatized ladies said.

Meanwhile, police has arrested the shop's security officers involved saying, although the three women were yet to make a formal complaint concerning their treatment at Mr Price Clothing Store, evidence gathered by the police were enough to proceed to make the arrest, since it contravened the laws of the country.

Nottingham teenager furious after paying £450 for a photo of an XBox One on eBay

A TEENAGER has been left fuming after mistakenly buying a photo of an in-demand computer console online.
Peter Clatworthy thought he had paid £450 for an XBox One console on eBay, but actually received a picture of one in the post.
The 19-year-old student, of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise Christmas present for his four-year-old son, McKenzie.
He has now contested the purchase with eBay, which has investigated and stated he should get a full refund from the seller.

Mr Clatworthy said: “I’ve had to make a joke out of it because I was that angry. At least we’ve now got something to laugh about in the years to come.
“I always buy stuff on eBay and this had never happened before.”
Mr Clatworthy made the purchase on November 28, paying £450 plus £8 packaging.
Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said he’d expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay.
He said: “It said ‘photo’ and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine.
“I looked at the seller’s feedback and there was nothing negative. I bought it there and then because I thought it was a good deal.
“It’s obvious now I’ve been conned out of my money.”
Mr Clatworthy received the photo in the post on Monday, saying: “They’d written on the back of it ‘thank you for your purchase’. I was fuming.”
The XBox One was released in the UK on November 22, with a special Day One edition reserved for those who picked the machine up on its first day of sale.
Since then, there have been reports of people buying empty XBox One packaging via eBay, and paying hundreds of pounds for the privilege.
When the Post searched for ‘XBox One Day One edition consoles’ on the website yesterday, a number of genuine consoles were up for sale.
There was, however, one lot of ‘XBox One Day One edition retail packaging’ which received 80 bids and sold for £7,200.
Mr Clatworthy was informed by eBay yesterday that, as he paid via PayPal, he can expect to receive a full refund from the seller, who has until Monday to pay up.
A spokesman for eBay, the online marketplace, said: “We don’t allow listings which mislead, and will take action against this seller.
“Customers can shop with confidence on eBay as we guarantee you will get your item or your money back. Mr Clatworthy is covered by the eBay money-back guarantee and we will be contacting him to put things right.”
Tessa Coates, Trading Standards Officer at Notts County Council, said: “We are not aware of an eBay scam of this nature.
“However, we would encourage all eBay buyers to pay for their goods using PayPal to give them extra protection.
“PayPal states that if the item doesn’t match the seller’s description or gets lost in the post then it will give the buyer their money back.”
She added: “Our main tips for buying online generally this Christmas is make sure you’re getting a good deal, know who you’re dealing with and protect your personal and financial information.”

Kim Kardashian Pregnant: Kim And Kanye West Reportedly Expecting Baby No. 2

Kim Kardashian is pregnant with baby No. 2, sources close to the reality star have said.
The pregnancy report first hit the internet on Tuesday, with the urban news site MediaTakeOut reporting that Kim and Kanye West had gotten pregnant after “trying” for months. The report cited two sources close to the couple who confirmed that Kim is pregnant.

The report cited two bits of information as “proof” that Kim Kardashian is pregnant. The first was Kanye West’s temper.
“Kanye does not respond to the pressure of Kim K’s pregnancy very well,” the report noted. “You’ll recall that in Nov 2012 (when Kim was just 2 months preggers) Kanye West spazzed out and started fighting a paparazzi guy. Well yesterday Yeezy did the same thing – when he started fighting a teenage boy.”
The incident happened on Monday, when Kim and Kanye were swarmed by paparazzi during a walk. A teenager tried to help Kim get into a building and yelled at photographers, but when Kim asked him to stop using the “N-word” the young man followed her and yelled at her.
Kim then called Kanye West, who reportedly went to where the young man was working and punched him in the face.
The second bit of evidence of Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy was a picture snapped of Kim leaving her OBGYN’s office. Back in 2012, MediaTakeOut was one of the first to report on Kim’s pregnancy after she was spotted leaving the same office.
Reports that Kim Kardashian are pregnant have started to trickle out from other outlets as well, but there is some conflict whether the rumors are true. A source contacted by HollywoodLife said simply: “No way, she’s not pregnant.”
Ironically, the reports that Kim Kardashian is pregnant come just days after another rumor that said she and Kanye West were headed for a split. Pictures on Instagram showed Kim without her engagement ring, leading to speculation that the couple is splitting up.

I Charge N1m to Write a Song – Harrysong

Here's what Harrysong, aka Mr Songz, who is currently living large under his new management, KCee's 5Star Music, said in an interview with Punch:

“Before now we (songwriters) charged between N100, 000 and N2000, 000 for a song. Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song. Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begun to appreciate songwriters. They pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I don’t talk about them because Nigerian artistes don’t like it when the songwriters take credit for compising songs for them.”

And that's not all! About his Tribute song to the late South African leader Nelson Mandela, released on December 11, 2013, which received a stunning one million downloads in a single day, an excited Harrysong says:

“The proceeds from the caller-back tune is actually worth more than N50m. Truth is, I was paid a lot of money; you know - when they say money that can change someone’s life. That’s the value of what I received .

“I can’t reveal the exact amount because we work as a team. So, all the money realised is shared among us. You just want to forget all the years of suffering. It’s not a mere hype because the money is there. The song is everywhere. You go to South-Africa , the girls are crazy about it.”
