Despite Court Ruling, Soldiers Storm Lagos State, FCT And Major Cities Across Nigeria Ahead Of The Presidential Elections!!!

Only a few days ago, a Lagos High Court banned the FG from deploying soldiers to voting centers during the elections. Justice Ibrahim Buba who made the ruling, said that it's unconstitutional to deploy army for the regulation of poll purposes without the support of the National Assembly.  PDP and FG have long advocated for the use of soldiers at the polling booths, but APC including presidential candidate, Gen. Mohamadu Buhari have kicked against it, calling it undemocratic.

However, despite court injunction, there have been lots of army officers deployed across the Country, with more and more groups being sighted in Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory in the past few days. This action is eliciting mixed feelings among residents who took to twitter to report what they have seen and express their feelings. One twitter wondered why they (army officers) didn't come out when Boko Haram was killing citizens.

Nigerian Presidential Elections: APC Accuses President Jonathan Of Spending =N=1Trn On His Campaign!!!

One Trillion?
With four days to Nigeria's presidential elections, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organization, APCPCO, has accused President Jonathan of using tax payer's money up to the tune of One Trillion Naira to finance his campaign, buying off traditional rulers and other interest groups as well as funding a hate campaign against his opponent, General Buhari. 

The allegations were made via Mallam Garba Shehu, the Director, Media and Publicity of the Buhari campaign......
"President Jonathan has been criss-crossing Nigerian giving an average of =N=50-Million each to traditional rulers, most especially in the South west and Northern parts of Nigeria. This week, the president's campaign money is being shipped to the North. You will recall that a pastor recently confirmed that =N=7-Billion was given to pastors to spread unfounded allegations of Islamaphobia and scare mongering against Gen Buhari and other APC leaders"

He went on to suggest that this money could be used towards feeding primary school students daily, which happens to be part of APC's program when Buhari becomes the president.....

"A fraction of the Trillion Naira hate campaign expenditure will fund the APC's program of feeding primary school pupils in Nigeria on one nutritional meal a day, comfortably pay =N=5000 monthly to 25-million very poor Nigerians for a year and pay unemployment benefits for one year for graduates who can't find gainful employment one year after NYSC which are core to the social welfare programs of the APC federal Government Buhari will lead"

However, the Jonathan campaign team has responded by saying that allegations are not true, and accuses Buhari's team of fear of losing at the polls.

Angelina Jolie-Pitt: "I Got My Ovaries Removed, I"m On A Mission To Live"

Two years after having both breast removed in a double mastectomy due to fear of breast cancer, super star actress, Angelina Jolie-Pitt has taken a second big step in minimizing the disease.....she had her ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed!

Jolie told an emotional, dramatic story in a NY Times op-ed piece, in which she talked about her normal----an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50% chance of ovarian cancer, because she carries BRCAI gene mutation.
The actress took proactive steps with breast cancer two years ago by having a double mastectomy. She had been seriously considering the second preventative procedure but she was pushed into action when medical test revealed the possibility of ovarian cancer but in the early stages.
Angelina underwent the procedure last week, and doctors found a small benign tumor on one ovary but no sign of cancer in her tissues.
Jolie says she's now in menopause as a result of the surgery, and she can't have any more children. She stoically writes about the fact that she has to live with the possibility of cancer but adds, "I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family. I know my children will never have to say,'mom died of ovarian cancer' "

Miss Nigeria, Ezinne Akudo Opens Rape Crisis Center In Lagos, Nigeria!!!

Kudos to Miss Nigeria, Ezinne Akudo, 24, who officially opens her very own Rape Crisis Center today at 1A Kola Adeniyan Close, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos Nigeria. The Center was set up by her organization....The Eight Foundation. 

"We live in a world where women are abused daily and are unable to speak  up. One out of four women experiences some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. This crime can take place anytime, and can happen to anyone regardless of tribe, religion or social class. sadly, the society's response to this heinous crime has led victims to believe that silence is the best option. However, speaking up is our greatest weapon in this fight against sexual violence" she said.

Nigerian Actress, Halima Abubakar Lay Claims To Starting The Color Blocking Fashion Trend!!!

Hehehe, orishi-rishi osisko Nigerian limited!!!......Everybody wants  to claim relevance at all cost.....
Controversial Nigerian actress Halima Abubakar says she is the originator of the color blocking fashion trend.....really girl?....Abeg, make I hear word jare!

Speaking with Punch newspaper, Halima who is no stranger to criticism for always being on the wrong side of fashion has this to say......

"I am definitely a trendsetter. I'm eccentric and weird in my style. Sometimes, i don't get it right but i am happy with the result. I am always glad that I'm not copying anyone. In-fact, people copy me. When I started color blocking, it was just for the fun of it and not because I did not know that I should not have more than three colors on my outfit"

Halima dear, please, have a seat. You are talking and doing too much. Let me school you a little bit.
Color blocking is when you wear multiple solid colors in one outfit and that trend has been around way before your parents got together. The trend started way back in the '50s through the emergence of Pop art that pushed America into the acceptance of vibrancy and the manufactured structure. The fashion trend became very popular in the 60s and made it through the '70s. Since then the trend has reappeared over the years in various forms. To say that you who I believe was born in the '80s started this trend is totally laughable...smchhh!!!

Sad..Sad..Sad: Nigerian School Boy Accidentally Hangs Himself In A Robin Williams Experiment Gone Terribly Wrong!!!

Curiosity they say, kills the cat...This is so sad!!!
 16-year old Temidayo Joseph, an inquisitive mind, may have accidentally killed himself trying to re-enact how Hollywood star, Robin Williams killed himself. The school boy was found dead in his bedroom just hours after collecting his GCSC results. The youngster, who is also a very talented footballer was found slumped in a seated position by his mum, Kate with his school tie around his neck.
Looking into events leading to his death, Temidayo who is said to be lively and popular, reportedly spoke with a cousin questioning why the famous actor would have wanted to end his own life.
According to Essex coroner, Eleanor McGann, 

"There was a a conversation which took place about big news in the media about the death of Robin Williams. Temi had said "I don't understand why somebody would do this to himself". "I wonder if this bright little boy...perhaps he was just experimenting to see how Robin Williams killed himself, but with no intention of doing it himself"

"We know it's incredibly easy to hang yourself from a seating position. It's perfectly possible that he did not have any idea how easy it is to hang yourself by mistake"
"That will seem to fit this happy little boy with an inquiring mind who has made a horrible mistake"

Detective sergeant, Tara Barnes told the Inquest, she had concluded her report into the death by saying...."I had no information that his intention was to kill himself"
The Inquest at Essex coroner's court heard no suicide note was found and Temi's family said, he had been looking forward to enrolling at college.

May his soul rest in peace and may God comfort his family...#TrulySad

Singer Angie Stone Arrested And Charged With Domestic Aggravated Assault!!!

R&B singer, Angie Stone(53) was arrested Monday in Atlanta, GA for domestic aggravated assault against her 30-year old daughter. According to multiple reports, the singer told Dekalb police, her daughter, Diamond, punched her in the face. She then said she defended herself with a metal stand, but it "accidentally" hit Diamond in the face, knocking out her front teeth...



The fight reportedly continued until a family friend eventually stepped in. Diamond was said to have told the police that the argument started when Angie started b***hing about her not cleaning up after her children, and it all went 'left' from there.

Ms Stone was charged with aggravated assault. Her daughter was also arrested but was later released without being charged...Really?....

As a woman with African blood in me, I think her child ought to have been charged also for putting her hand on her mother....#JustSaying!!!

You know, this is some BS. She's 30 and leaving in her mama's house with her children? I mean, for real! If the reasoning is true....Is it wrong to ask her daughter to clean up after her children? Did Diamond really have to punch her mom for that? Isn't that what mom's do (redirect their children)? This just sounds a little personal to me. I am not going to punch anyone, let alone my mother, because she asked me to clean up my own mess. It's just ridiculous. If she was my daughter, I would have knocked her teeth out too....Smh!!!
