An airline passenger has gone to extreme lengths to avoid paying for extra baggage on a flight by wearing at least 10 pieces of her clothing.

Gel Rodriguez, from the Philippines, decided to wear 2.5 kilograms of her garments after her carry-on luggage exceeded the maximum weight of seven kilos.

The traveller said she was informed by airline staff at the check-in counter her suitcase weighed nine kilos so she would be charged a weight fee.

'When the airline staff at the check in counter said "Only seven kilos is allowed in hand luggage". Me: "No problem".'

Refusing to make the payment, she transformed her overweight baggage from nine kilos to a light 6.5 kilos after layering herself with multiple t-shirts, pants and jackets.

Aguero involved in car accident on way to Manchester City training

The forward walked away unscathed from the incident ahead of this weekend's match against Crystal Palace

Sergio Aguero was involved in a car accident on the way to Manchester City training on Wednesday morning.
The Argentinian forward was en route to the Etihad Campus facility centre when he was involved in the crash.
Aguero walked away unscathed from the accident, though the striker's Range Rover was not so lucky as the car had severe damage to the front right wheel.


The forward did not require any medical treatment following the crash, which was deemed to be nothing serious ahead of this weekend's match against Crystal Palace.
Wednesday's incident isn't the first involving Aguero and automobile accidents, with the forward having previously been involved in another accident two years ago.
Aguero was a passenger in a taxi in Amsterdam at the time before the vehicle struck a pole, causing broken ribs for the Manchester City star.
The striker had been the recipient of some time off during the international break, as he was not included in Argentina's squad to take on Germany and Ecuador due to an unspecified injury.
The 31-year-old forward has once again been in fine form for the defending Premier League champions this season, as he is currently level with Chelsea's Tammy Abraham atop the league's goalscoring charts through eight matches played.
Both Aguero and Abraham have netted eight goals each this campaign, with Manchester City currently sitting second in the league eight points behind unblemished Liverpool and one point ahead of third-place Arsenal.
Aguero has appeared in one of Manchester City's two Champions League games, featuring in a 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb while sitting out the club's 3-0 thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk to start the competition.

Manchester City are set to face Crystal Palace this weekend as the club looks to regain a bit of momentum lost in a 2-0 defeat to Wolves just before the international break.
After that, the focus will turn back towards the Champions League and a match against Italian side Atalanta.
Atalanta currently sit bottom of the group with zero points through two games, while both Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk sit on three points through those two matches.

Islamic State Accepts Boko Haram's Alliance Request

The Islamic State group has welcomed a pledge of allegiance to it made by the Nigerian terrorist organisation Boko Haram, according to an audiotape Thursday purportedly from its spokesman.

“We announce to you to the good news of the expansion of the caliphate to West Africa because the caliph… has accepted the allegiance of our brothers of the Sunni group for preaching and the jihad,” IS spokesman Mohammed al-Adnani said in the message, using the Arabic name for Boko Haram.

Itself a radical Sunni Muslim movement, IS has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic “caliphate” there, and has also drawn expressions of allegiance from jihadists in Egypt and Libya.

On Saturday, an audiotape attributed to Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said “we announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi,” referring to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Shekau has previously mentioned Baghdadi in video messages yet stopped short of pledging formal allegiance.

But there have been increasing signs that the Nigerian militants, whose six-year insurgency has claimed more than 13,000 lives and left 1.5 million people homeless, have been seeking a closer tie-up.

IS spokesman Adnani urged Muslims to join militants in West Africa and insisted that the caliphate was growing.

“Our caliphate is resisting and it is advancing in the right direction. We are fighting the Crusaders and the rafidah (Shiites) and day by day the Islamic State is becoming strong,” he said.

He insisted that the jihadist group is “sure of its victory” regardless of the challenges it is facing.

For months, IS has been targeted with air strikes from a coalition led by the United States and suffered territorial setbacks in Syria and Iraq.

And Iraqi government forces have closed on the city of Tikrit this week in a bid to retake it from the group.

He also added: “The documentary is riddled with falsehood and it is vulgar, smutty, cheap, shameful and salacious.”

Fani-Kayode also spoke about the threat by the APC to drag Dame Patience Jonathan before the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC). According to him, “no individual is ever taken to the ICC based on what he or she has said unless and until people act on those words and massacre others”.
