Losing a child is horrible and it's the worst nightmare for any parent but having the child's photos scattered all over social medias with various captions and making the parents or relatives to relive the pain everytime is very insensitive💔 Lets be sensitive for once and show some empathy 🙏
My heart goes out to the family ❤

Nigeria Owo church attack: Gunmen kill Catholic worshippers in Ondo

Gunmen have killed church worshippers in Ondo state, south-west Nigeria.

President Muhammadu Buhari said "only fiends from the nether region" could have done this "dastardly act".

The armed men entered St Francis Catholic church in the town of Owo during a Sunday service. They fired into the congregation and then kidnapped a priest as well as some other church-goers, witnesses said.

Nigeria has experienced an upsurge in violence in recent months.

Kidnappings and attacks have been reported across the vast country.

No figures for the numbers killed or abducted in Sunday's violence have been confirmed.

But a doctor at a local hospital, quoted by the Reuters news agency, said that "several worshippers were brought in dead". After visiting the church and hospital, state lawmaker Ogunmolasuyi Oluwole told the Associated Press news agency that children were among the dead.

Graduates from the world's top universities will be able to come to the UK regardless of where they were born, without needing a job.

The government says the "high potential individual" route, which opens on Monday, will attract the "brightest and best" early in their careers.

The scheme will be available to alumni of the top non-UK universities who graduated in the past five years.

Graduates will be eligible regardless of where they were born and will not need a job offer in order to apply.

Successful applicants will be given a work visa lasting two years if they hold a bachelor's or master's degree, and three years if they hold a PhD.

They will then be able to switch to other long-term employment visas if they meet certain requirements.

To qualify, a person must have attended a university that appeared in the top 50 of at least two of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings, or The Academic Ranking of World Universities in the year they graduated.

The list of eligible universities from 2021, published online by the government, featured 20 US universities, including Harvard, Yale, and MIT.

There were a further 17 qualifying institutions, including the University of Hong Kong, University of Melbourne, and the Paris Sciences et Lettres University.

The visa will cost £715 plus the immigration health surcharge, a fee which allows migrants to the UK to use the NHS.

Graduates will be able to bring their families, although must also have maintenance funds of at least £1,270.

They will also have to pass a security and criminality check and be proficient in English to at least the B1 intermediate level, defined as having the "fluency to communicate without effort with native speakers".

The scheme follows changes to allow foreign nationals to stay and work in Britain for up to two years instead of having to leave after finishing a degree.

The scheme, which opens on Monday, is intended to attract the "brightest and best".
