Update on police assault of pregnant woman in Lagos


Women's rights activists Dr Joe Odumakin has threatened to mobilize all pregnant women for protest if the police officer that assaulted a pregnant women in Lagos is not disciplined.
A clip which surfaced few days ago on the social media, showing a police officer identified as Arthur Okeke harrasing a pregnant woman with disregard for her condition has continued to attract more reactions.
The victim, Mrs. Rashidat Oyelowo Abdulmajeed recounted her experience while speaking to journalists in Lagos. She told of how the police officer conducted himself very embarrassingly. Find the video here
The victim stated that she was slapped and her hijab was also torn during the encounter on the bus with police officer, Mr. Arthur Okeke. 

She narrated that the policeman was in a seat behind the one she sat on the bus, and he officer leaned forward, resting his arms on guard of her own seat, but her back was also relaxed on same guard.
The woman said Officer Arthur Okeke ordered her to raise her back from the seat, but she had responded that it was meant for occupant of seats to rest their back on. Besides, she said, she told the officer that she was pregnant.

Officer Arthur began assaulting her thereafter.
"He pulled my hijab from the back and forcefully reclined my head backwards so that my head hung over", she said.

Her narration, which buttressed the visual spreading on the social media, included how the police officer ordered the bus to stop and also asked every passenger to alight so he'd torture her more. She said every passenger condemned his actions, but most of them were under trepidation he might harm them.

While the bus stopped,  the officer also called on another who was directing the traffic, on the road to join him in the act, but he was turned down. 

Reacting to the incidence in Lagos, female activist and president of Women Arise, Dr. Joe Oke-Odumakin who received the victim in her office on Friday, called on the Police Inspector General, Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed to take on the erring officer for disciplinary action.

Okei-Odumakin warned that the spate of police indiscriminate molestation of citizens is on the increase and moreso, unacceptable. 
"I trust the IG of police that he will take action on this and bring Arthur Okeke to book. But failure to do this, we will mobilize all pregnant Women and protest police brutality on the street for the sake of Mrs. Rasheedat", she said. 

Meanwhile, the Police Force has not said anything about disgraceful conduct of the officer, despite many communications to it about the incidence.

Severally, the video has been tweeted, tagging the Police authority on social media with the video, but no single response from the police came on it.

To the crowd, Kanye asked: ‘How many people here think they’re awesome and have had people say they’re not their whole lives? What have I ever done other than believe in myself?’
They say they won’t negotiate with celebrities…like I’m a terrorist or stupid. I’m not going to name names, I’m not going to mention any names but... Nike, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Don't discriminate against me 'cos I'm a black man making music.

'‘I told Kim seven years ago: ‘I’m going to marry you,’ and I did – all the stuff I talk about, I can back it up. F**k saving face and what it's supposed to mean, it's about living my dream.'
I just wanted to make something awesome and be awesome and change the world, and that's exactly what I plan to do.
Well, after a while, the crowd had enough and started to boo him. They didn't come to hear him whine, they wanted music. After the rant, Kanye continued playing music...

British girl filmed performing sex acts on 24 men for free drinks

 

A British girl was filmed performing sex acts on 24 men at a nightclub in Majorca's notorious party capital, Magaluf in Spain.

The 18 year old girl (pictured right), whose identity is being hidden, was told by the organizers during an event at a bar called Alex's Bar that she would win a 'holiday' if she participated in a game. But the prize turned out to be a £4 cocktail called 'Holiday' made from gin, vodka, peach schnapps, blackcurrant liqueur and fruit juice.

The girl was cheered on by the crowd as she went from one man to the other, asking them to take down their pants and performed the sex act. 
"The girl was being encouraged to drink more and more and was told she would win a 'holiday' if she took part in this game. Unfortunately the 'holiday' turned out to be the name of a cocktail. I feel sorry for her now. She must feel awful.' Someone who witnessed the incident told The Sun
A 2-minute footage, which also showed several holidaymakers taking photos of the act with their phones, was later posted online, causing outrage. The police has launched an inquiry into the incident. Watch the video after the cut...

A security operative went to the driver, told him to get off the pavement and return to the road. The two men started exchanging words. One thing led to another and the bus driver got down and started struggling with the gun the security man was holding. The security man shot him twice on the leg.

She  was released on Friday by her captors who abandoned her at Lobia, close to the sea.
Patimi Akene, the kidnapped mother of the Bayelsa State Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Furoebi Akene, has been released.

The victim was abducted about three weeks ago at her country home by armed men at Fonibiri in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.

She  was released on Friday by her captors who abandoned her at Lobia, close to the sea.

It could not be ascertained if ransom was paid for her release, but family sources said that the septuagenarian is hale and hearty.

A source close to the family said some money and some handsets were given to the kidnappers for her release.

When contacted, the  commissioner confirmed the release of his mother.

“We thank God she is hale and hearty and we want to thank all those who assisted us in ensuring her safe return,” he said.

He, however, declined comments on the ransom.

The kidnappers had last week threatened to cut off the head of the mother following the refusal of her son to accede to their demand for N30 million ransom.

MONEY TALK: Top 10 Richest, Biggest Musicians in 2014

1. Beyonce Knowles
The biggest year of Queen B’s career comes courtesy of a massive tour. The superstar singer played 95 shows, bringing in an average $2.4 million per city, according to Pollstar. She also dropped her most innovative album. Titled simply “Beyoncé,” the record hit iTunes in December with barely any publicity; the single “Drunk in Love” has already sold more than 1 million copies. 
2. Dr. Dre
It was a year of superlatives for the legendary producer, thanks to Apple’s $3 billion purchase of Beats, announced in May. His spoils boosted his annual income to an astronomical $620 million — not only the best year of his career and tops among the names on this year’s Celeb 100, but the highest yearly earnings total of any entertainer ever evaluated by FORBES. 
3. Jay Z
The mogul’s $60 million total is his highest since 2010, bolstered by a diverse list of sources. There’s his growing Roc Nation empire; 68 concerts in our scoring period; business ventures ranging from his 40/40 clubs to his D’Ussé cognac; and his latest album, which was certified platinum before it was released due to an agreement with Samsung to buy 1 million copies. For more on Jay Z’s rise, check out Empire State of Mind. 
4. Rihanna
Rihanna may be the perfect embodiment of the modern pop star. The 26-year-old Barbados native churns out radio hits like “We Found Love” and “Diamonds” and collaborates with some of the biggest names in the business like Jay Z and Eminem. But she also uses social media better than almost anyone. Her Twitter and Instagram feeds allow her to connect with her fans in a way that feels honest and unfiltered and they love her for it. Rihanna is the second most-powerful social media user on our list after Justin Bieber. 
5. Katy Perry
Even with a fairly modest touring schedule this year (Perry only played 20 public gigs during our time frame), the pop star is still one of the biggest earners in her field. Perry is unafraid of the shill. She gets paid to endorse brands like CoverGirl and Pop Chips and she has her own fragrance with Coty brands called Killer Queen. Perry also earns big playing private events. What rich kid wouldn’t love Perry to play her Sweet 16? 
6. Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi’s massive touring schedule lands the New Jersey band on our list for the 7th time. With “What About Now,” the band is still selling out arenas all over the word en route to $82 million in earnings. But age may be taking a toll. Drummer Tico Torres was sidelined for part of the tour due to gallbladder surgery and Richie Sambora skipped the tour to take care of personal issues. Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi shows no signs of slowing down. His Soul Foundation branched out into housing this year with a four-story mixed-use development in Philadelphia for formerly homeless people.
7. Bruno Mars 
Mars debuts on our list thanks to a busy touring schedule: the 28-year-old crooner played 118 dates during our time frame. He also managed to squeeze in a performance at the Super Bowl halftime (along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers) that earned him the title of the youngest halftime headliner ever. The performance helped propel sales of his latest album, “Unorthodox Jukebox” to double platinum. For more, check out “The Evolution of Bruno Mars.”
8. Miley Cyrus 
Cyrus returns to the FORBES Celebrity 100 after a four-year absence. The last time she made our list was when she was still rolling in Hannah Montana money. Now the pop singer is all grown up and courting controversy at every turn. Her twerking at the MTV Video Music Awards shocked many people who still see Cyrus as a little girl but the attention helped record sales. Her latest album “Bangerz” has been certified platinum. 
9. Taylor Swift
Only 24 years old, Swift is making her fifth appearance on the FORBES Celebrity 100 with her highest earnings to date: $64 million. Swift’s latest, “Red,” was shut out at the Grammy Awards but the cross-over star was honored with the Pinnacle Award at the latest Country Music Association Awards for her success. The award has only been given to one other person, singer Garth Brooks. Swift also earns with endorsements for Diet Coke, Keds and CoverGirl.
10. Lady Gaga 
Gaga’s earnings continue to fall from her 2011 peak of $90 million Her third studio album, “Artpop,” has failed to produce the same success as her prior efforts and a hip injury side lined part of her world tour. Despite those setbacks, Gaga is still one of the most influential pop stars out there and she ranks 19th on our list. Only 28, she has plenty of time to return to the top 10.

Bridesmaids flashing their butts in wedding photos


Bridesmaids...and sometimes the bride..flashing their butts in wedding photos has sparked a new trend in some parts of the world. It supposedly started after some models posing as bride and bridesmaids did a photo shoot in wedding attires showing off their derrieres for an underwear campaign...and now real brides and bridesmaids think it's cool and have started doing it. Sometimes they wear matching underwear...and sometimes they go as far as showing off their bare bottom.

The ladies say it's a way of spicing up the traditional wedding photos. Should this trend catch on or die fast? See more photos after the cut...

MAN ARRESTED IN TRAGIC HIT-AND-RUN DEATH OF 12-YEAR-OLD BROOKLYN GIRL

Family photo via NY Daily News
The man accused of mowing down 12-year-old Joey Sellers in that tragic hit-and-run accident has been identified as Robert DeCarlo, 26,” the New York Daily News reports. He was speeding in a stolen minivan when the vehicle jumped the curb, striking Joey, her mother, 38-year-old Marsha Landais and her sister, 9-year-old Charlie Sellers.
Man arrested in hit-and-run death of Brooklyn girl. Family of victim says he should have never been walking the streets in the first place.
As it turns out, Robert has quite the rap sheet, which includes drug possession, robbery, grand larceny and possession of stolen property charges. In fact, just 24 hours before the tragic incident, the troubled Brooklyn man appeared in court regarding a purse-snatching case. Now, family members of the middle schooler are questioning why he was even allowed to walk the streets in the first place.
“How come this guy is on the street, and to end up doing what he did just now?” questioned family member Roland Pierre. “Does the system kill us or what?”
Marsha and Charlie were both critically injured in the accident. Charlie is scheduled to undergo neurological surgery sometime today.
“Right now, we’re hanging in there,” a family member said Thursday. “The other two are in critical condition. It’s really tough.”
Robert was arrested earlier today as he made his way towards the 62nd Precinct to turn himself in.
We send our prayers to the victims and their family.

‘He Needs Help!’ Solé Goes Off After Ginuwine Implies That Their Child Is A Stripper On Instagram

Source: IG
Speaking of parental disputes, Ginuwine was recently called out on Twitter by his wife, Solé, after he demonstrated extremely poor judgement on social media site Instagram. The father of five uploaded an image of his teen daughter surrounded by singles and five dollar bills and proceeded to imply that she had been working as an exotic dancer in the caption.
“My daughter just came in should I be asking so [sic] questions!?????” he wrote.
Solé flips out on Instagram after Ginuwine implies that their child is a stripper.

He then reposted the photo with another caption that reads:
“Man I gta stay home more this is getting catastrophic.”
Solé flips out on Instagram after Ginuwine implies that their child is a stripper.
Shortly after seeing his post, Solé took to Twitter to defend her daughter and to slam her husband for his twisted sense of humor.
“That was NOT my daughters money that @Ginuwine posted.. It was HIS & his sick idea of a joke..Been trying to keep silent but he needs help,” she tweeted.
“I’ve remained silent but my child will not be publicly humiliated by a sick joke by some1 whos [sic]  judgement is impaired”
Solé flips out on Instagram after Ginuwine implies that their child is a stripper.

We definitely can’t blame her for wanting to defend their daughter. Thoughts?

I Did NOT Have Affair With Jay Z !"Never did. Never will' - Mya denies affair with Jay Z

mya-jay-z-affair.jpg          jay-z-beyonce-mya.jpg
Mya is RIPPING allegations she had an affair with Jay Z.
Outlets like MediaTakeOut and other disreputable have recently accused the rap mogul of cheating on Beyoncé with her fellow R&B singer.
But on Thursday, Mya vehemently put rumors of her involvement to rest after a fan questioned her on Instagram.
“Never did, never was, never will,” she wrote. “Illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts and that’s the ‘media’ for you-especially today.”

mya-jay-z.png


Singer Mya has denied reports that she's Jay Z's longtime mistress. There was a recent blind item suggesting Mya and Jay Z have been in an 11 year affair, with the rapper allegedly financially supporting her. But Mya says it is 100% false.

Mya denied the reports on instagram today after a fan asked her if it was true. "Heard you and Jay Z had an 11 year affair. Are you his side chick or nah?" the fan asked

Mya replied;
Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts and that's the 'media' for you - especially today. I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage too much for nonsense."
False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they did it to Jesus, they'll do it to anyone. God bless."
