Oscar Pistorius Formally Charged With Premeditated Murder

The judge set his trial to run from March 3 to March 20 next year at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.

Premeditated murder comes with a mandatory sentence of life behind bars.

Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp would have turned 30 today August 19th.

Meet The Former Nigerian Female Footballer Who Now Lives As A Man

Iyabo Abade is a Former Super Falcons striker who is now living as a man called  James Johnson. His Sex-change surgery was done in 2004. Here is his recent interview with Punch. And he even says women now chase him around like Usain Bolt...lol..fine boy. Have fun reading!

Now that you are a man, has it been easy playing men’s football?

I thank God for how far He has brought me. I have made every effort to get to the top as a footballer but there is no support from anywhere, even the Nigeria Football Federation. I am just trying on my own to get to the top but it hasn't been easy. You go for trials and you do well and you are recruited but after sometime, they will start acting funny; they use my past against me. I try to ensure that I don’t let clubs know who I am.  I don’t like telling them that I am the former Iyabo Abade; I have to go there like every other normal player and fight for a place in the team. But when they hear that former Iyabo Abade has signed for either Crown FC or Plateau United, they start discriminating against me.
