Photos: American woman makes Guinness Book of Record as the most tattooed woman in the world

What began as a bid to cover up a nasty skin condition has resulted in a Guinness World Record for an American who has been named the most tattooed woman in the world. Julia Gnuse also known as the 'illustrated lady' has 95% of her body covered in ink, ranging from jungle scenes and cartoons to her favorite actors.
Gnuse started getting tattoos after developing a rare medical condition known as porphyria, which caused her skin to blister when exposed to sunlight and left scars as deep as three-degree burn. Miss Gnuse said there was medication available for her condition, but taking it could have the side effect of possible blindness. Thus she resorted to the body art -- although the ink did not stop her skin from blistering, it covered up the scars and allowed her to be exposed to the sun.

I pity President Buhari- Nasir El-Rufai says

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he pities President Buhari because the two times he's become president of Nigeria was when the country was going through rough economic periods. El-Rufai said this while speaking at the Sunday Service of the Latter Rain Assembly which he attended yesterday July 31st.

“We have always known that there is massive corruption in Nigeria but the revelations of the past one year have shocked even the most pessimistic of critics. Nearly 70 per cent of Nigeria’s oil revenues disappeared without a trace. Of course, there must be consequences for that. When we sit down with President Buhari these days, I pity him. I pity him because he has always become President anytime Nigeria is in trouble. First, it was after the NPN (National Party of Nigeria) government had almost grounded the economy (in 1984) and now, after a massive looting of the nation’s treasury; and he has to lead the team to fix it”he said

"It was a traumatic experience" says Catholic priest who spoke to the executed Nigerians at the shooting place in Indonesia

A Catholic priest who was present at Nusakambangan prison in Indonesia during last Thursday's executions of three Nigerian drug convicts and one local drug lord, has described the experience as 'traumatic'
Father Charles Burrows, who is based in Cilacap near the prison, was called there to speak with two of of the three Nigerians, who were among 4 death row prisoners executed by firing squad.
Father Burrows said he doesn't know if the executed prisoners suffered. He said he had been present in the past when it has taken several minutes for prisoners to die.
"The first time, it was seven to eight minutes, and then there were some of the other times it was 15 minutes and they still weren't, hadn't expired," he said. "And the captain has to wait with a pistol and shoot into the brain." he told Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Father Burrows said he went with the other ministers from different spiritualities to the "shooting place", because there was no time to speak with them in their cells, with great confusion in the lead-up to the execution. He said it was a "traumatic experience". The ministers prayed together while four ministers spoke to the four men who were executed.
"They were given some minutes to talk to the prisoners or console them somewhat. Then they came back and the prisoners were tied to the stakes. And then they went, were given another few minutes. They were shot pretty quickly after that."
Father Burrows said the executed prisoners were "seemingly" blindfolded first, and remained dignified until the end.
"There was a lot of anger in the first state (last year's execution) not last night," Father Burrows said of the latest executions. But eventually … they realise they're going to die, so you best try and die with dignity."
Meanwhile, the Indonesian Attorney General has refused to explain why 10 prisoners, including one Indonesian woman, received an 11th hour reprieve from the firing squad.
Authorities are set to return the bodies of the executed Nigerian death row convicts to the country, Tempo Jakarta reports.
