Late Princess Diana Was Killed! New Evidence Surfaces

According to Sky News, new information surrounding the circumstances that led to the death of Princess Diana in 1997 has made its way to the police bureau. The Scotland Yard has begun reviewing the new data which they claim could prove that the Princess of Wales, her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed and their driver Henri Paul were all killed by a member of the British military. 

These new details were obtained from the former parents-in-law of a former soldier and the allegations seem substantial for further investigations. A statement made by The Metropolitan Police said that “the assessment of the new information isn’t a re-investigation and won’t fall under the Operation Paget—the inquiry into conspiracy theories surrounding their deaths.” Mind you that a jury concluded back in 2008 that the deaths of Princess Diana and Al Fayed were an “unlawful killing, grossly negligent driving of the following vehicles and of the Mercedes.” With these fresh allegations on board, there are speculations that a new investigation may open as a result of it. 

Princess Diana, Al Fayed and Paul passed away after their Mercedes Benz went down under a Paris tunnel in August 1997. Buckingham Palace has offered no comment and might not be releasing a statement about the new information.

World’s Richest Woman, Founder Of Zara Dies At 69

Rosalia Mera, a seamstress who co-founded a clothing store in northwestern Spain that grew into Zara, one of the world’s largest retail chains, has died at the age of 69. She was Spain’s richest woman. Inditex SA, the owner of Zara, issued a statement Friday confirming her death but did not provide more details and declined comment via email. 

Spanish media widely reported that Mera, a major stakeholder in Inditex, suffered a stroke while on vacation on the Mediterranean island of Menorca and died Thursday night at a hospital in La Coruna, the city where she was born in Spain’s Galicia region. Mera founded the first Zara store in 1975 in La Coruna with her then-husband, Armancio Ortega. He is listed by Forbes as the world’s third-richest person. They were originally going to call the store Zorba after the “Zorba the Greek” movie, but there was a bar with that name a few blocks away from the site, so the letters on the Zorba sign were rearranged to spell out Zara. 

The store specialized in low-priced versions of more expensive popular clothes, and the formula turned into a success for store openings across Spain and then internationally. Mera held 6.99 percent of Inditex stock, according to company filings at the Madrid stock exchange, and her fortune was estimated by Forbes at $6.1 billion. The magazine says she was the world’s 195th richest person but was in the No. 1 spot on its list for “wealthiest self-made woman.” She also became known for voicing opposition to the current conservative government’s plans to change Spanish abortion laws. 

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is a close ally of the Catholic Church on moral and social issues, and has repeatedly said he will revise Spain’s abortion law, though he has not yet tabled any proposals. The previous Socialist government passed a law allowing 16 year olds to get abortions without parental consent. Mera said that law is “just fine” and “should be left as it is.” In addition, she opposed government cutbacks in the name of austerity affecting Spain’s cherished education and national health care programs. 

Besides the Zara chain, Inditex also owns retailers Bershka, Masssimo Dutti, Oysho, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, Uterque and Zara Home. There are 1,763 Zara stores around the world, and Inditex has a total of 6,058 stores and 120,000 employees.

Obafemi Martins Makes Foray Into Music

If all goes as planned, Nigerian international footballer, Obafemi Martins, will release a hiphop album by the end of the year. A studio rat who did not want his name in print and is privy to the album project said the forward for Seattle Sounders FC of the United States has completed work on at least three tracks for the album that is heavy on the Nigerian genre of hip-hop. “He is passionate about the album and has been working on it at two recording studios, one in Surulere and the other in the Lekki area of Lagos,” the source said. 

Asked if he has any idea why the footballer who is apparently doing well in his football career would choose to do music, he said Obafemi Martins has always loved music. “As a matter of fact, he told me that before the big football leagues around the world came calling, he used to be a rapper. Music was his first love eve before football came along,” the source said. He could not be reached for comment as at press time but the man described as his mentor, Mr. Femi Fasetire, who is a sports journalist confirmed that the footballer likes music “like most people”. He however said that he is not aware that the player is working on an album. “Perhaps that is because entertainment is not my line since I am a sports journalist,” Fasetire said. 

There is no doubt that millions of Obafemi Martin’s football fans cannot wait for the release of this album, which our source said is still untitled and which songs are basically performed in English. Other Nigerian footballers who have gone the music way include recently: Michel Obi, (who now owns a music label, Matured Money Minds, MMM), as well as Celestine Babayaro and Jonathan Akpoborie.
