This should be a lesson for ladies, to be fore warned is to be fore armed. Spare your parents the pains and disgrace.
Ladies who maintain long distance relationships with unknown persons on Facebook should try and be more careful with the level of commitments they get themselves involved in.

As you read this, a female NYSC member is now in the custody of the NDLEA over a drug parcel sent by her London-based Facebook friend.

The lady had, at the weekend, received a telephone call from her London friend about the arrival of a parcel with instructions on whom to hand it to once she collected it.

The parcel had arrived Lagos enroute Abuja, at the weekend, but officials of the courier firm in collaboration with NDLEA operatives decided to open the parcel before the beneficiary was allowed to take it away.

During checking, the vigilant operatives discovered a pack of cocaine. The parcel, a small container, has within it three packs of cocaine concealed inside a wall clock.

The lady under interrogation confessed that she met the man on Facebook and was under instruction to hand over the parcel to another friend also based in Abuja.

She also confessed that this was not the first time she would be collecting parcels from her London-based friend. Even the shoe she was wearing at the point of her arrest was said to be a 'gift' from the same friend.

Poor girl, if only ladies can be more careful.

Meet The "Security And Exchange Commission's" Boss, Arunma Oteh, Who Spends N85,000 On Food A Day

If the money had not been government money, could she have spent such amount of money from her purse?

The Director General of the Security and Exchange Commission, Arunma Oteh, spent a huge N850,000 on food in one day, in violation of regulations on how much chief executives can spend, a House of Representatives committee said on Wednesday.

Ms. Oteh was accused of multiple violations at a bad-tempered public hearing of the House committee on Capital market investigating a dwindling market that has weakened  investors trust and cost the nation billions of naira.

The House committee, headed by Herman Hembe, said the commission's boss flouted rules, compromised her position and engaged in a spending spree in the last one year she has held office.

At a point, Ms. Oteh accused the committee of pursuing an agenda and surpassing the mandate of the hearing. She branded the house sitting a Kangaroo court, and dodged questions put to her.

The inquiry sets out to establish why the capital market is almost collapsing, and why big organizations are protected by the commission while investors face increasing risk. Lawmakers said the DG's unbridled spending and her relationship with some of the organizations she oversights have eroded the commission's regulatory role.

In one case, the DG spent as much as N30 million on hotel bills accommodation in eight months and N85,000 on meals on another day.

"You stayed in a hotel for 8 months and spent over N30 million. In one day you spent N85,000 on food at the hotel; the other day you spent 850,000 on food. These are the things we should look at to see how you will regulate a market that is collapsing," Mr. Hembe said.

The committee said the DG's actions have called to question her competence to hold the position and directed that she submit her academic certificates and all documents regarding the engagement of the Access bank staff.

Mystikal Says Lil Wayne & Baby Saved His Life, Talks Prison Experience

Mystikal shares that Lil Wayne and Baby saved his life, says that returning to YMCMB is "humbling" after spending six years in prison.

After spending six years in prison, Mystikal finds himself rhyming alongside Lil Wayne as part of YMCMB. During a recent interview with Hip Hop Nation, Mystikal spoke about what it means for him to be a part of such a popular label after being locked up for so long. Mystical shared that it has been "humbling" and added that Weezy, Baby and company saved his life.

"My head is still spinning right now," he shared of the transition he's experienced from going to prison to returning as part of YMCMB. "It's humbling. It's really humbling to be looking from the six years [in prison], looking up at everything. That's at the bottom of the barrel. The only thing worse than being in prison is probably death itself. So to do that for six years and then to come home and be on top with the top record label in the world? It's humbling."

Mystikal also shared that he is thus more mindful about his subject matter when rhyming. He then expressed how fortunate he feels to be in his current situation.
"That was nothing but God that allowed this situation to unfold like this," he shared. "After the debacle and everything that happened, God still showed up at the end."

Moving on, he added that Lil Wayne and Baby saved his life.

"They didn't save my career; they saved my life," he noted.

Shyne Speaks On Importance Of Squashing Beef With Diddy

Shyne says that his beef with Diddy could have blown up to dangerous levels.

Shyne and Diddy recently met up during a trip to Paris Fashion Week, erasing any doubts that the two had lingering beef with one another. Releasing a statement to XXLMag.com, the rapper, who changed his name to Moses Michael Levy, said that the rivalry could have reached dangerous levels and ended in possible bloodshed.
“You can’t overstate the cultural significance of what Shyne and Diddy reconciling means,” wrote Shyne. “You know I’m about it when it comes to them hammers, thus unfortunately this could have ended like Tupac and B.I.G. But what if Tupac and B.I.G ended like this and reconciled?

“Let’s celebrate this moment as a historical event and a victory for hip-hop and Afro and Latin American men trained to exterminate each other,” he continued. “It’s a new day! L’chaim!!!”
Shyne also touched on the important example that this sets for Black and Latino youths. He said that it could be a powerful moment in helping troubled adolescents think before committing wrongdoing.

"On a scale of what this says to African and Latin American men, who have been trained to self hate and to self-destruct, this is a watershed moment,” he wrote. “The paradigm shift that’s taking place as the way Afro and Latin American men deal with each other is tremendous. This could be a gigantic step in putting an end to the cycle of hate and violence that is self-genocidal and destroying the minority community by sending fathers off to jail or an early grave.”

Erick Sermon Says Hip Hop Lacks Musical Balance

Erick Sermon weighs in on the Hip Hop industry at large, saying there's no balance of music.

Erick Sermon has never been one to bite his tongue when it comes to his thoughts on Hip Hop. Now, the Green Eyed Bandit weighs in on the industry at large, saying that Hip Hop has lost its sense of artistsic balance.

In a recent interview with ThisIs50, the EPMD/Def Squad double threat said that the mainstream market has become overly saturated by one single style of Hip Hop. The legendary Sermon explained that this lack of sonic balance in the industry is hurting new artists' chances at breaking into the game and achieving success.

"Right now, like I said before, I think that we don't have a balance in the industry," he explained. "I'm not claiming to be the mad rapper neither, I feel like right now we just have one side. You have people like 50 [Cent] and [Lloyd] Banks…and Lupe Fiasco who fought so hard to get that Hip Hop to where [they] wanted it to be so [they] can do what [they] wanted to do and [they] won that way…we don't have a balance right now, everything's one sided. All the new Hip Hop kids who want to rhyme and the producers who want to make beats…they feel there's no place for them because no one's picking them up. I feel like there is a lane that needs to be filled up and somebody needs to open their mouths so we can get creativity and balance back in music."

Jessica-Simpson wants-sex-all the-time

Has Jessica Simpson ever been one to mince words? I can’t remember a time when that was the case. Doesn’t matter, though, because it’s one of the many reasons that we love her!

She recently visited Ryan Seacrest on his radio show and talked about how pregnancy has definitely, ahem, put her in the mood. Am I being too subtle???? Jessica Simpson wants sex all the time!
The Huffington Post quotes her telling Ryan, “I am definitely feeling ‘intimate.’ I’m kind of unstoppable at the moment! … Like the big ‘O’ is like the biggest ‘O’ ever.”
That was a definite overshare, but I just can’t bring myself to be disgusted.
So what’s her man think of her overactive sex drive? He’s probably all, “Jessica! Go to sleep!” and “Jessica, not now!” right? WRONG!
”He’s always ready. He’s always ready!” she said.
LOL. Right. Like why would he be disappointed that his woman wants to do the dirty literally all the time? I’m not exactly shedding a tear for him either! *giggle*
Jess said recently that despite being as big as a house, she still has a couple weeks left in her pregnancy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gave birth today…to octuplets

Nicki Minaj is Allure magazine's cover girl this month

Nicki Minaj is Allure magazine’s cover girl this month, where she opens up about her cartoonish characters, which mogul’s career she wants and on her hate for exercise.

On dethroning Jay-Z

“I never thought about music as just being the end-all, be-all. I always looked at it like a business, something that I could create an empire out of…. I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. He said, ‘Congratulations on all your success.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.’”

On exercising:

“I’m naturally petite, but I definitely struggle with keeping those extra pounds off. And I hate working out. I can’t stand being on a treadmill. That mentally irks me. When I need to lose a few, I just cut out sugar and starch.”

On why her fan base ranges from eight-year-olds to adults:

“I think as far as the younger demo is concerned, I play dress-up,” Minaj begins. “I also can put on a very cartoonish voice. So sometimes children may not know what I’m saying, but they like the sound of it, and they think I sound like some weird character.”

On trying out new looks with her hair from the age of nine:

“I had done something I thought was really, really, really cute, and I showed my neighbor,” she says. “She was like, ‘Why’d you do that to your hair?’ And I never forget what I said: ‘I’m someone new in this hair.’”

Is Bobby Brown Writing A Tell-All?

Rumors that The King of Rocks and Blunts is reportedly working on publishing a tell-all book about his life with late ex-wife Whitney Houston are circulating once again.
Insiders say that in light of Our Fair Lady Nippy’s death Bobby Brown sees potential to make money off writing a book because there’s peak interest right now.

Dionne, hold my mule. And $20 sack.
“He’s not going to address anything that will cast him in a negative light,” a source told E! Online. “And that’s why people, I don’t think, will buy the book. They’re going to see that it will most likely be completely self-serving.” The source continued, “What great revelations is he going to have in this book?”

“Back in 2008, the interest in a book on Whitney Houston wasn’t that great. Whitney had fallen off the radar back then but now, following her tragic death, the market has changed. Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney,” the source added.

A rep for Brown declined to offer further details, telling Entertainment Weekly, “We do not comment on gossip and rumor.”
I am casting all of my burdens inside Cousin Dionne’s nostrils. The only thing that has to do with Bobby and Whitney’s relationship I want to hear more details on is the removal process of the doodie bubble — that’s it!

Mother knifed to death in front of her child, 4, had her Facebook status changed to 'sleeping around' shortly before attack

Leanne McNuff's mother found her daughter with stab wounds after hearing 'banging noises' from her home next door
Her soldier boyfriend Ian Lowe, 24, on leave from serving in Afghanistan, is being questioned over killing
Tributes paid to 'stunning' mother who had been 'transformed' by the birth of her son Jaden
The couple's relationship had been strained in recent years and they had broken up once before




A young mother was stabbed to death in front of her four-year-old son after someone changed her Facebook status to 'sleeping around'.
Leanne McNuff, 24, was knifed just an hour after phoning her best friend to say her account had been hacked.
Her soldier boyfriend Ian Lowe, 24, was arrested shortly after she was attacked in front of her son Jaden in her semi-detached home in Droylsden, Greater Manchester.

Today the Private, from 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment who was leave from serving in Afghanistan, was still being questioned by police over the killing on Sunday evening.
Leanne's best friend Emma Barlow, 26, said she had been worried that someone had hacked her Facebook account shortly before she was attacked.
Emma said: 'I spoke to her around 50 minutes before it happened. She was having problems with her Facebook and had phoned me for help.

'She thought someone had hacked into her account and changed her password. Jaden was still up and I could hear him in the background.'
'Someone had changed her Facebook status and it was saying nasty things about her - things that weren't true.

'She was upset because it was saying things about her sleeping around - it was all untrue. I was trying to contact Facebook.'
24-year-old Leanne McNuff was taken to hospital on Sunday night with stab wounds where she was pronounced dead a short time later
Emma said she discovered her friend, a former call centre worker, had been knifed to death on the radio news.
She added: 'Later I heard about her death on the radio. They hadn't named her, it just said a young girl had been stabbed.
'My stomach just jumped when I Googled it and I started screaming. I was texting and ringing Leanne but got no reply so I feared the worst.'

After the knife attack Leanne's mother Margaret and brother Ryan who live next door dashed round to the house to find the young woman dying.
Emma said: 'I just feel desperately sad and devastated for Jaden. He was great with my little one. He was Leanne's world and she was his. It's unbearable.'
Leanne’s mother paid tribute to her daughter in a statement she released through the police.

She said: 'Leanne was loved by everyone and was an honest and upfront young woman. We are all just devastated. We feel numb and empty.
'Leanne was a beautiful, kind-hearted and generous girl, who lived and breathed for her four-year-old son Jaden, who in turn idolised and adored his mummy.

'Leanne had a great sense of humour, with lovely manners, and was loved by everyone who knew her.'
Leanne and Pte Lowe, 24, spoke to local media in February 2008 when the soldier returned from a tour of Iraq to see his son Jaden for the first time.



he said: 'She was such a lovely girl. She looked after her son very well and she had a good job before she became pregnant.
'She was full of life, intelligent, bubbly and very pretty. As a mother she doted on her little boy - it was the making of her. She comes from a good family who supported her.
'We feel robbed and angry. As a family we are just devastated - what a waste of life. Nobody deserves to die at 24. My sister is going through hell.'

A former pupil of Fairfield high school in Droylsden and Tameside College, Leanne had worked at ATA security before becoming a mother.
Detective Inspector Graham Brock from Greater Manchester Police said: 'Our thoughts are with Leanne's family and friends at this time, who are understandably distraught that their loved one has been taken from them in this way.

'We are in the early stages of the investigation and are working to establish the full circumstances of what has happened.

'I would like to reassure residents that we do not believe there is any danger to the wider community, as we believe this is an isolated incident. We would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything to contact us.'

Leanne's friend said she had been planning to move to Catterick, north Yorkshire, to be near Lowe, who was stationed at the garrison there with his battalion.

Soldiers who are stationed in the UK live in barracks during the week and are free to leave at weekends unless they are on duty.
Suspect Private Lowe was on leave from the army after serving time in Afghanistan when he was arrested.

Last week one of his comrades Sgt Nigel Coupe, 33, was killed along with five other soldiers when a Taliban roadside bomb destroyed their Warrior armoured vehicle in Helmand Province.
An Army spokesman said: 'We can confirm that on March 11, a serving soldier from 1 LANCS was arrested on suspicion of murder.
'The matter is subject to an ongoing police investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further whilst this is ongoing. All enquiries should be directed to Greater Manchester Police.'

The announcement was made by Barry Weiss, Chairman & CEO of Universal Republic and Island Def Jam to whom he reports. Mr. Manda will be based in NY.

With a $5m price-tag and 1,292 diamonds, is this the world's most expensive watch?

A Swiss watchmaker unveiled today what is believed to be the world's most expensive timepiece.
Hublot's new watch, which has a price tag of $5million, dazzles with a staggering 140 carats of diamonds, all set in white gold.

The precious stones cover the entire face, as well as the band, giving an appearance more akin to fine jewellery than practical accessory.
Hublot, which usually sells its watches for an average of $24,000, debuted its creation at the annual Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, which opened to the public today.
Company president, Jean-Claude Biver, explained that it would be hard to make a more expensive watch 'because the surface of the watch is limited

Hublot, which usually sells its watches for an average of $24,000, debuted its creation at the annual Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, which opened to the public today.
Company president, Jean-Claude Biver, explained that it would be hard to make a more expensive watch 'because the surface of the watch is limited

Despite the price tag, it seems Hublot will have no trouble selling the high-end creation.
Mr Biver revealed that several people had already expressed interest in acquiring it, although he could not disclose any further details.

Though many retail sectors have been suffering in the economic downturn, luxury brands, Hublot included, are thriving.
The watchmaker celebrated a record year in 2011, with sales up by 30 per cent, and Mr Biver says he is expecting the same for 2012

HORROR!Son kept father's body in bed for five months so he could claim his benefits while telling 10-year-old daughter he was just asleep

A man left his father's dead body in bed for nearly five months so he could claim his benefit payments - even telling his innocent 10-year-old daughter that her grandfather was just asleep.

Christopher Blackburn was jailed for three years after police found the body of his father Guy, 54, on a bed in the living room of his home in Penwortham, Lancashire.
The macabre discovery was made after neighbours raised concerns when they did not see the elder Mr Blackburn for five months.
Blackburn had been living at the house alongside the body but kept quiet about his father's death as he pocketed nearly £2,000.
The 29-year-old, now of Birkby, Huddersfield, admitted preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body between October 31, 2010 and March 22 last year.
He also pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to theft after collecting £1,869 of his father's income support payments from the post office.

Sentencing him at Preston Crown Court, Recorder Judge Anthony Russell said: 'Such offending is abhorrent to all decent-minded people who will be disgusted by your behaviour.
'It was callous and offensive to his [Guy Blackburn's] friends and family who no doubt have been caused considerable distress by these circumstances.
'It also seems to me that you were motivated in part by greed.'
Blackburn falsely told police he had spoken to his father since November 2010 and had had a drink with him at Christmas


An inquest last February was told Mr Blackburn had a long history of poor health, including heart attacks and strokes, and had been in ‘extremely emaciated’ with a protruding rib cage and long fingernails.

He had lived in the house for 26 years but his health had deteriorated due to heavy drinking and smoking and he was largely confined to his bed after returning from a spell in hospital.
Distressing: Christopher Blackburn even lied to his 10-year-old daughter and told her her grandfather was asleep
His dead body was found last March after neighbours became concerned for his welfare, having not seen him since the previous October.
The neighbours contacted Eaves Brook Housing Association, and police then visited the house, where they found Mr Blackburn’s partially mummified body on a bed in the front room.

A post mortem examination revealed he had died of coronary artery atheroma, with no evidence his death could have been suspicious. A verdict of death by natural causes was recorded.
Judge Russell told Blackburn: 'You pretended he was still alive, misleading others - particularly your own daughter, a little girl.

'You have shown little remorse for your offending.

'A decent person would have immediately admitted to the police that this poor man had died months before but you tried to pretend he had been dead for only days.'
Det Insp Marc Nasser of Lancashire Police said: 'This is an unusual case and it is the first of its type that we have dealt with in Lancashire.

'It was a challenging crime and one that most members of the community will have found appalling and I am pleased that Blackburn has now been punished for what he did.'
One neighbour said: 'I had always got on with Guy, he was a nice bloke, but I had not seen him for ages. I kept asking his son if he was OK, and he would say "yes".

'We thought his son was looking after him, I was constantly saying "Is your dad alright?" and obviously he was not. It is not nice, it has upset me.'
Another neighbour said: 'Guy was a friendly chap who would do anything for anybody.
'“It has made me so upset, you do not leave an animal like that. When you think it is your dad, it is even worse. I would like to remember him before he got ill having a laugh and a joke, not dying the way he did.'
