Now each day little Gao Qianbo attends to his mother, talks with her and even chews up food and tenderly feed her mouth-to-mouth, reported the Yangtze Evening Post.
Zhang, 42, had been in a coma ever since a car accident in 2010. Though doctors told her husband Gao Dejin she would never recover, they were surprised to discover Zhang was four-months pregnant.
Gao cared for her at home until Zhang gave the birth to Gao Qianbo on July 22, 2011 by a cesarean. She awoke from her coma in a Shuyang county hospital in Jiangsu Province in May.
The family has survived mainly on government subsistence with some support from relatives and friends.

TWO MORE BANKS ANNOUNCE LONGER OPENING HOURS...

National Bank of Kenya and Family Bank are the latest banks to announce extended operating hours in certain localities in Nairobi, a move that many other banks could soon emulate.

Banks are increasingly extending operating hours in what could eventually see them operate round the clock.
As the economy continues to grow and the lifestyles of more people changing and the middle class growing, the customer is the new king, pushing banks to adjust their operating hours.
DEMANDING CLIENTELE
“This is an issue of consumer demand. Customers are now becoming more and more demanding.
They want to do banking at their own convenience and banks have had to adjust,” says Kenyan Bankers Association chief executive officer Habil Olaka.
National Bank of Kenya and Family Bank are the latest to announce extended operating hours in certain localities in Nairobi, a move that many other banks could soon emulate.
“We now offer extended banking hours (8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm on Saturday in Kilimani, Kenyatta Avenue and Family Bank Towers Retail,” Family Bank announced last Friday.
Many banks including Barclays, Standard Chartered, Diamond Trust, NIC, Bank of Africa, African Banking Corporation and NIC now operate from between 7am and 8pm. They also operate at extended hours during weekends and holidays.
In the 1990s, many commercial banks operated within a limited timeframe of the day, opening their doors to the banking public at 9 am and closing at 2 pm.
EXTENDED BANKING HOURS
Operating time later evolved to between 9 am to 4 pm as competition gathered steam over the last decade. Then, the lenders began operating from 8 pm to 5 pm in a bid to woo more customers into the banking halls.
The hours of operation later increased from 8 am to 6 pm, and later to 8 pm to cater to the changing banking trends in the country amid intensive competition and growing economy.
Mr Olaka noted that the level of economic activity is changing rapidly with more and more people not only working late into the night but also shopping at night, a trend that banks, pharmacies and even supermarkets are keen to follow.
Many banks including Barclays, Standard Chartered, Diamond Trust, NIC, Bank of Africa, African Banking Corporation and NIC now operate from between 7a.m and 8.pm. They also operate at extended hours during weekends and holidays in line with working, business and shopping trends of customers.
Barclays Bank’s chief executive officer Jeremy Awori argues that in extending its hours of operation, the bank is responding to the needs of its customers in a changing environment, which has seen economic trends changing and new malls coming up pushing them to operate at late into the night.
“We are realigning our operations in line with the changing business environment in particular areas, namely, the ports which operate for 24 hours and in shopping malls,” Mr. Awori said in an interview.
This is however, notwithstanding increased cases of insecurity at night and additional operating costs that banks have to navigate.

MARIKANA: SOUTH AFRICA POLICE 'LIED OVER MINE SHOOTINGS'...

Miners chant slogans as they march past the Lonmin mine during the one-year anniversary commemorations to mark the killings of 34 striking miners by police (August 2013)
South African police lied about the Marikana shootings last year, in which 34 striking miners were killed, a commission of inquiry has said.
Police falsified or withheld documents, and gave false accounts of events, it said.
The police shooting of the miners at the Lonmin-owned platinum mine in August 2012 shocked the nation.
The police said they were acting in self-defence, days after two officers had been hacked to death by protesters.
The commission was appointed by President Jacob Zuma to investigate the deaths of the 34 miners - the most deadly police action since the end of white minority rule in 1994.
At issue right now, is not so much what happened at Marikana last year, as the way the police have presented their version of events to the inquiry, says BBC Africa correspondent Andrew Harding.
To put it crudely - as with former US President Nixon's Watergate scandal - it's not the crime, it's the cover-up, our correspondent says.
The commission's statement comes just 10 days after gaining access to police computer hard drives and previously unseen police documents.
"We have obtained documents which the SAPS [South African Police Services] previously said were not in existence...
"We have obtained documents which in our opinion demonstrate that the [police] version of the events at Marikana... is in material respects not the truth," the commission said.
It said the material which had come to light had "serious consequences" for its future work.
The hearing was adjourned until Wednesday, while the commission reviewed the "thousands of pages" of documents, and sought to obtain access to additional hard drives and electronic records.
Our correspondent says that the commission is clearly so outraged by what has already been uncovered that it has taken the extraordinary step of calling the police liars and forgers, and implicitly questioning whether the Marikana inquiry - beset by delays and funding controversies - can continue.
The inquiry has been delayed several times over the question of who should pay the legal fees for hundreds of injured and arrested miners. The new information may jeopardise its October deadline.
Demonstrations were held in Pretoria last week over the government's refusal to pay legal fees for miners appearing at the inquiry.
In the immediate aftermath of the police killings, the authorities sought to portray the miners, who were striking illegally, as responsible for the bloodshed.
Some 270 of the striking miners were arrested and charged with murder, though the charges were later provisionally dropped.
The government has been criticised for its handling of the crisis, and some of the Marikana miners remain angry that not a single policeman has yet been arrested over the shootings.

MOM'S RESCUE GOES AWRY: STUDENT SHOT IN KIDNAP RESCUE ATTEMPT...

A secondary school student was shot and seriously wounded as she attempted to rescue her mother from kidnappers in Kirinyaga County.
The Form Four student, Caroline Wangu, 17 is now fighting for her life at Kerugoya district hospital where she was taken with a bullet lodged in her left leg soon after the Wednesday night dramatic kidnap at Ngomongo village.
Posing as police officers, the six men raided the home of Harrison Mwangi, a farmer in the village at around 9pm.
Armed with guns, handcuffs and wearing police uniforms, the raiders demanded to know from the family members where Mr. Mwangi was.
It was then that they asked for water to cool the engine of their saloon car which Ms.Wangu who studies at the nearby day secondary school went to get it for them, oblivious to the fact that they were kidnappers on a mission.
She left her mother Nancy Wawira talking to the men who insisted they wanted her father for interrogation.
Minutes later, the gunmen grabbed Mrs. Wawira and started pushing her into their car but she screamed for help and her daughter responded.
She confronted the kidnappers and tried to rescue her mother as she raised an alarm. She struggled with kidnappers, reportedly telling them off but one of them shot her in the leg.
FAST RESPONSE
The kidnappers shot in the air as they drove off with her mother to scare away neighbours who had responded to the distress call from the home.
The neighbours administered first aid to Ms. Wangu and rushed her to the medical institution as she writhed in pain.
A relative, Mr Julius Karaba said he was at home when he received the news that his niece had been shot before rushing to the scene.
"On arrival, I found the victim bleeding from her leg while her mother was missing. I joined the neighbours and we drove her to the hospital for treatment," he said.
Mr Karaba said the men were in police uniform and members of the family did not suspect they were abductors.
"They masqueraded as officers and no one could suspect that they were criminals," he said.
Mr Karaba said it was likely the raiders were part of gang that had been kidnapping residents in the county and demanding for ransom.
Mr Mwangi collapsed in shock upon seeing his daughter lying in her hospital bed and learning of his wife’s abduction.
He was treated for shock and discharged.
The nurses said the student was responding well to treatment but would be operated on to remove the bullet.
POLICE IN PURSUIT
Area head of police, John Kamau said the police were in pursuit of the kidnappers and were determined to rescue the woman.

Mr Kamau said kidnappers were engaging the woman in conversation outside the main house in her compound when they suddenly forced her into their car and sped off.
He said the motive behind the abduction which left family members shocked was yet to be established as the kidnappers had not made contact with the family.
Mr Kamau asked the villagers to assist with the police by giving them leads that could lead to the rescue of the kidnap victim and the arrest of the culprits. 
County Governor Joseph Ndathi expressed concern over the increasing cases of abduction and called on the police to arrest the situation.
He said kidnappers on the loose and were scaring away potential investors. "These kidnappers should be tamed as they are dangerous," he said.
Cases of kidnapping are on the rise in the county. In the past four months four people including a college student have been kidnapped.
Two of the victims have already been killed by the kidnappers believed to hail from the neighbouring Murang'a County.

REDEEMED CHURCH BATTLES CHRIST EMBASSY OVER LAND....

Redeemed Church battles Christ Embassy over land
• RCCG seeks IG’s intervention over demolished structure
If you call it a holy war, you might not be far from the truth. Right now, all is not well between two popular Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. And the cause of the feud? A parcel of land.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which has Pastor E.A. Adeboye as General Overseer, and Christ Embassy, headed by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, are involved in a big fight over a parcel of land situated along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The land, which the Redeemed Church claims it owns, is spread across Oloke, Asese, Maba and Gideon villages in Ogun State. RCCG says Christ Embassy has been using policemen and hoodlums to cause trouble on the land.
Authorities of the Redeemed Church are, therefore, appealing to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. M.D. Abubakar, to use his good offices to avert an impending crisis in the villages. According to the church, a structure put up there by RCCG was earlier in the year demolished by some alleged land grabbers working for Christ Embassy.
The church noted that the appeal to the IG had become necessary so that the nation’s top cop could help resolve the matter, even as it accused the other church of deliberately employing delay tactics to frustrate the rightful owners of the land.
The crisis, it was gathered, has been on for long before reaching a head in March this year.
According to the RCCG, hoodlums, armed with dangerous weapons, (allegedly led by one Lukman Jimoh, aka Ogo Oluwa), and purportedly acting on the instructions of the Christ Embassy Church, had on March 19, this year, invaded the villages in a Volvo car and Toyota Hiace bus, destroying the headquarters of Ogun Province 8 of The Redeemed Christian Church of God under construction.
The Redeemed Church informed that the guard at the site, who reportedly escaped death by the whiskers, said the hoodlums told him to stay clear of the land, adding that the property belonged to the Christ Embassy which they were working for.
“The thugs threatened to kill me or anybody who stood in their way and boasted that nothing would happen because, according to them, they and the police have been “heavily settled,” the guard was quoted as saying.
In a petition addressed to the Inspector General of Police, the RCCG asked the IG to intervene in the case of trespass on the church land and the malicious damage to the church property.
RCCG said it had done everything within the ambit of the law to possess the land. The church said despite the fact that the land falls under the government acquisition area, the church had, in June 1999, paid ratification fees for the land to the late Alhaji Tajudeen Ogo Oluwa (Lukman’s father), who subsequently gave the church a Deed of Surrender signed by him and witnessed by one Waidi Ogunsesan (aka Damolapa).
The church said it was also given allocation of the land for 99 years by the Ogun State Government, in a letter with reference number LUD 9/LCI33/6, signed by the Director-General, Bureau of Lands and Survey, Surveyor Gbenga Ogunnoike.
Ogun State also issued a Certificate of Occupancy with the Number 025748, dated November 7, 2006 and signed by the governor, to the RCCG.
It was also gathered that, in 2004, the Redeemed Christian Church of God wrote to the Presiding Pastor of the Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, following a programme held by the latter on the disputed land.
The letter, signed by the Assistant General Overseer, Admin/Personnel of the RCCG, Pastor A. O. Akindele, partly reads: “It has come to our notice that your organization is inadvertently trespassing on the piece of land measuring about forty acres (40 acres) along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, precisely at Oloke Area.
“We wish to inform you that this parcel of land belongs to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and we have seized (sic) of the land for more than four years.
“We shall appreciate your prompt intervention and godly directive to one Alhaji Ogo Oluwa, who has held himself out as your agent, to desist forthwith in continuing with the trespass.”
The RCCG, it was learnt, also went ahead to solicit the help of officials of the Ogun State Government who invited the two parties with a view to settling the dispute. At the meeting, presided over by the then Director General, Bureau of Lands and Survey, Mr. Gbenga Ogunnoike and held at the Bureau’s office at Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, the state government affirmed that the Redeemed Christian Church of God which has the duly issued Certificate of Occupancy of the land, is the rightful owner. The meeting also warned the Christ Embassy from further trespassing on the land.
But the Redeemed Church said it was shocked that in spite of the resolution, the Christ Embassy Church and its agents still went ahead to demolish the structure put up on the land, which prompted the church to write to the Inspector General.
The IG, it was learnt, directed the Eleweran Police headquarters in Ogun State to quickly resolve the matter. But RCCG said nothing tangible has been achieved since. According to the church, the hoodlums, who boasted that nothing would come out of the matter, were already being proved right.
“Meanwhile, the hoodlums are still occupying the land and they keep threatening the other owner families of other plots of land who are ready to act as witnesses for the church,” the RCCG noted.
Attempts by our correspondent to reach Christ Embassy officials were unfruitful.

STUDENT IMPREGNATES, KILLS 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN ZAMFARA...

Student impregnates, kills 17-year-old girl in Zamfara
26-year-old student of health technology has been arrested by the police in Zamfara State for allegedly abducting, impregnating and killing a 17-year-old girl, Bela’u.
The suspect, Bello was arrested following the death of the girl after he took her to the  Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Gusau, in an effort to stop  excess bleeding by the victim, resulting from alleged attempt to abort a five-month-old pregnancy.
Bello,who is a student of the state School of Health Technology, Tsafe, admitted that he had sexual relationship with the deceased for more than two years and she became pregnant for him.
It was gathered that the suspect  bought  some drugs from a patent medicine store, which he wrongly administered  on the girl in order to abort the pregnancy. It was further revealed that shortly after the administration of the drugs, she started bleeding and vomiting in Bello’s room and was later taken to hospital.
“I abducted her from her house in Samaru area and took her to my room  where she became pregnant for me; so, I tried to abort it and she started bleeding and vomiting.
“I noticed that the bleeding would not stop, so I quickly rushed her to the Federal Medical Centre, Gusau and she was admitted but unfortunately for me, she died few minutes after the admission.
“I called my uncle to inform him of what had happened and he too called her (Bela’u) uncle and told him about the incident.”
It was gathered that the suspect initially declared his intention to marry the girl in question but his parents frowned at the decision, warning him to avoid any relationship with her.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Lawal Abdullahi said they received the information on the death of the girl and  immediately swung into action.
DSP Abdullahi  said the girl’s body has been  deposited at the Federal Medical Centre for post mortem examination, adding that the suspect would be charged to court after proper investigation.

AUSTRIA: BODY OF MAN SUSPECTED OF SHOOTING FOUR DEAD IS FOUND....

Police searching a farm for a gunman who killed four people in centralAustria said that they have found the charred body of what they believed was the suspect.
Regional police spokesman Roland Scherscher said the body was discovered early on Wednesday in a compartment behind a double wall of one of the buildings on the farm grounds.
After a 12-hour standoff, police stormed the building with body armour and assault weapons. The body was found more than a day after the gunman barricaded himself in a farm building near Melk, a town 40 miles west of Vienna.
Scherscher told reporters that forensic experts still had to identify the body but police believe it was that of the gunman, who apparently set himself on fire.
The killings began about 24 hours earlier, when police stopped the man on a road near a wilderness area west of Vienna where there has been frequent poaching. Austrian media said the man was a suspected poacher. Police named the suspect as 55-year-old Alois Huber.
Interior ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said the gunman fled in his car, which landed in a ditch in the nearby town of Annaberg, then shot and wounded a member of Austria's Cobra Swat team at a police checkpoint. The police officer later died. An ambulance arrived, but the gunman shot and killed its driver as he tried to give first aid to the wounded policeman. The gunman also shot and wounded another officer at the scene.
Later on Tuesday, another officer who had been missing was found shot dead in his patrol car, said Grundboeck. Scherscher said that officer was apparently killed after the suspect carjacked the police vehicle and took him hostage.
The attacker then fatally shot another police officer at a roadblock before barricading himself in the farm building.
The provincial government of Lower Austria ordered black flags flown from all public buildings in honour of the gunman's victims.

SYRIA CRISIS: DESTROYING CHEMICAL WEAPONS 'IS DOABLE'

Ake Sellstrom (centre), the head of a UN chemical weapons team in Damascus. Photo: 30 August 2013
The chief UN weapons inspector says it will be difficult to find and destroy all of Syria's chemical weapons, but he believes it is achievable.
Ake Sellstrom told the BBC much depended on whether Damascus and the opposition were willing to negotiate.
He said his team concluded after a visit to Syria that the nerve agent sarin was used in an attack in a Damascus area on 21 August.
The UN Security Council is now trying to agree a resolution on the issue.

Western nations blame government forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the deadly attack in the Ghouta area.
Damascus - backed by Russia - says the opposition forces are to blame.
UN disagreements
Mr Sellstrom told the BBC's Newsday programme that dealing with Syria's chemical arsenal was "doable". "But of course, it will be a stressful work," he added.
"Depending on the position of the Syrian government and the position of the opposition, depending on how much they could negotiate, it could be done.
"It will be a difficult job." Mr Sellstrom also said his team's report may have contributed to Syria saying it was prepared to give up its chemical weapons.
The report, however, did not apportion blame for the attack.
On Tuesday, the five permanent UN Security Council members - France, the UK, the US, Russia and China - met in New York to discuss a resolution on making safe Syria's chemical weapons.
Such a document is seen as a key step in a US-Russia brokered plan under which Syria will disclose its arsenal within a week and eliminate it by mid-2014.
However, there have already been key disagreements over the wording.
France, the UK and US want a resolution carrying the threat of military action but Russia opposes this.
The US and Russia hammered out their plan last weekend after Washington had threatened the Syrian government with military action over a chemical weapons attack in the Ghouta area of Damascus on 21 August.

CHILD MARRIAGE AND CONSTITUTION REVIEW...

Child marriage and constitution review
Following the resolution of the National Assembly with respect to section 29 (4) (b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended),  I have carefully examined the provision once more to enable me understand the real issue in controversy and then make my own contribution.
It is important to state here that the bone of contention is section 29 (4)(b) of the Constitution. This section is not new and has been an existing provision in the 1999 Constitution before the amendments. The relevant provision for the purposes of this write up is Section 29(1) & (4) (a) & (b). These provide as follows:
(1)   “Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for renunciation.
(4)   For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section :
(a)   ‘Full age’ means the age of eighteen years and above
(b)   Any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.”
The basic question that calls for consideration here is: what is the import of Section 29(4)(b) of the  Constitution?
Before considering the above question, it is necessary to consider the Child Rights Act (CRA) 2003. Note that the CRA was a domestication of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The relevant sections here are sections 21, 23 and 277 which provide as follows:
Section 21 – no person under the age of eighteen years is capable of contracting a valid marriage, and accordingly a marriage so contracted is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
Section 23 – a person (a). who marries a child (b). to whom a child is betrothed; or  (c).who promotes the marriage of a child ; or  (d). who betroths a child commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of N500,000; or imprisonment    for a term of five years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
Having seen the above provisions, we will then go back to the issue for consideration in this article which is the import of section 29 (4) (b) of the Constitution.
This issue will be considered in two dimensions, the first is whether the provision of section 29(4) (b) of the 1999 Constitution allows child marriage. In my view the operative words in that section are “woman” and “married”.
Neither the Constitution nor the Interpretation Act defined these words. However, Black’s Law Dictionary defines “Marriage” as “the civil status of one man and one woman united in law for life, for the discharge to each other and the community of the duties legally incumbent on those whose association is founded on the distinction of sex”.
It is important to note that the particular word used in the section of the Constitution in question is woman and not GIRL.
It is my humble view that the use of the word woman by the makers of the Constitution was deliberate.
Section 277 of the Child Rights Act defines a child as a person who is under the age of 18 years while the age of majority is prescribed in the same section as the age of 18. The Constitution itself, under subsection 4(a) of the same Section described a person of full age to be a person who has attained the age of maturity. Simply put, a woman, that is, an adult female is one who has attained the age of majority. Conclusively, the ordinary and natural meaning of woman as used in section 29(4)(b) of the Constitution is one  who has attained the age of 18 years.
I do not think that the said provision admits of child marriage as a girl child is not a woman and as such is incapable of contracting a valid marriage under Nigerian law.
If anything, the sub-section is merely repetitive of sub-section 4(a) of the same section and to that extent, it is a superfluous, totally irrelevant and inconsequential and ought to be expunged from the Constitution.
Another dimension to determine the issue as postulated above is to consider the effect of the combined reading of section 29 (1) & (4) holistically. In the case of the erudite jurists of the Court of Appeal dwelt heavily on the question of the interpretation of the Constitution and held that in interpreting a section of the Constitution, the entire section should be read as a whole for the purpose of understanding the necessary intendment of the Constitution.
The Constitution must be construed in such a way that it protects what it sets out to protect and guides what it sets out to guide.
A subsection of the Constitution shall not be construed in such a way that it makes nonsense of other provisions of the same section.
I therefore submit that construing subsection 4(b) of Section 29 to include a girl child is to make nonsense of subsection 4(a) which is gender insensitive and thus includes both men and women.
It is also important to note that section 29(4) was made for the purposes of section 29(1) which provides for renunciation of citizenship by a Nigerian of full age.
It is not an avenue for any person who has breached the provisions of the CRA to legalize his criminal actions. The Constitution upholds the moral value of the people.
From the forgoing therefore, I will like to say that the provisions of Section 29(4) (b) of the Constitution is not inconsistent with the Child Rights Act 2003, and whether the said sub section is expunged from the Constitution or not it does not in any way admit of or support child marriage.
However, since the said sub section is found to be completely irrelevant, it is better that it is expunged so that it will not be misconstrued by some pedophiles who will want to hide under the Constitution to perpetrate their illicit act.
The C RA was passed into law by the National Assembly and it remains a god law. It is a shame that the same people who pass laws breach it with impunity and walk freely around the country.
