Letter to a hit-and-run driver. RIP Joseph Aidanemhen

A letter written to a hit-and-run driver by the brother of late Joseph Aidanemhen. So sad! Read below

I thought I should take a moment to let you know a little about the 'rising star' you brought to an abrupt end on Monday 27th October, 2014 at 1T4 junction, Ihumundumu road, Ekpoma. His names were Joseph Ighodalo Aidanemhen. He only just turned 20 earlier this year, and also just got admitted to study English at Ambrose Alli University weeks ago. He was the pride of everyone in my family, as he was the last-born thereof. Joseph was an intelligent, ambitious, confident and loving brother, who doubles as a son.

A week or two ago when he got that admission, we (including himself) were all excited and were doing everything possible to give him a solid start, but today, it is a different and opposite feeling altogether for everyone of us. He leaves behind an aged father, mother and the rest of us, whom are struggling to come to terms with his shocking demise. Do you know it was actually his first day at school to perform his clearance that you gave him the clearance of his life? Yea, it was. By the way, I learnt you were a woman. So, I want to ask; Do you have a child(ren) you labored to bring to life or plan having one? Do you have a loved one that you are ready to go to any lenght for? Do you feel fulfilled knocking him down and running away, leaving him to grow cold? I am not sure if the answers to these questions will come to me directly, but I am certain they will come to the Almighty Judge of All, The GOD of hosts!

During the interview, Tyson explained ... "[the man] bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff ... snatched me off the street. I was a little kid. Never seen him again."

Mike says he never spoke with police about the incident.  

When asked if he was emotionally scarred -- Mike told Opie he's just not sure.

Rihanna: Furious That Drake’s Crushing On Nicki Minaj? The Truth

Rihanna and Drake dated earlier this year, so we could totally understand why Rihanna would be furious that he’s crushing on Nicki Minaj. But is she really upset? A source revealed the answer to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Here’s what we know.

After TWO failed relationships with Chris Brown, 25, and Drake, 28, Rihanna, 26, is REPORTEDLY “over” men. However, we were curious to know if Rihanna would be okay with the idea of Drake dating Nicki Minaj, 31. After all, the Degrassistar is seriously crushing on Onika! Well, mmm360.com has the EXCLUSIVE details on Rihanna’s true feelings!

Rihanna, 26, is a Grammy Award-winning artist, bonafide fashionsta and the ultimate A-list celebrity. But, despite all of this, Rihanna is just like any other 26-year-old woman — she’s tired of men! The star is so fed up with the opposite sex and she seems to be officially over her ex-boyfriends, including Drake!

“Rihanna is numb to men at this point. She doesn’t understand them and is rather tired of trying to. She’d rather stay single and alone in her bed before giving it up and exposing her heart to more disappointment. Her exes are her exes and they’re that for a reason,” our source tells us EXCLUSIVELY

The songstress, who appears to have wrapped up any loose ties with Drake, could care less about his love life. RiRi PAYS little attention to any brewing romance between Drake and Nicki Minaj.

“She’s can’t concern herself with who Drake sleeps with these days. She’s over him. She’s over Chris as far as anything sexual goes,” adds the source.

Drake and Chris “belong to other women now and she wants the best for the both of them. But in no way does she care at all about who they’re sleeping with these days and she would hope they wouldn’t care who she’s with,” explains the source.Rihanna’s New Album — Drake & Nicki Minaj Will Be Featured

Despite her lack of interest in Drake and Nicki’s personal lives, they’ll both REPORTEDLY appear on her upcoming album, R8!.

On Oct. 21, it was confirmed that both artists would be featured on her NEXT album from a source at Urban Islandz.

“Rihanna recorded a single with Drake this summer and another ONE with Nicki Minaj in September,” the source told Urban Islandz.

What do YOU think, readers? Should Rihanna be upset that Drake is crushing on Nicki?

Boy Whose Scalp Was Chewed Off By Dogs In Lagos Worsens, Doctors Abandon Him

 

The health of the Omonigho Abraham, the little boy whose scalp was devoured by dogs in the Igando area of Lagos is deteriorating. Infact, Punch, who initially broke the story reports that consultants have stopped attending to him, and the wound is not healling. Read below:

It appears the condition of four-year-old Omonigho Abraham, who was attacked by TWO dogs in the Igando area of Lagos State about a month ago, has worsened in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja where he is currently receiving treatment.
Reporters learnt from his father, Odia, that Omonigho’s scalp which was torn off by the German shepherd dogs during the gruesome attack, had not healed and had been giving off an offensive odour.
He said this had given the family serious concern.
Odia told our correspondent on Wednesday that attempts to GET the medical report of his condition had also been frustrated by some medical officers in the hospital.

He said,

 “My boy still complains of pains in different parts of his body. Also, when they OPEN the bandage on his head, you will see that there is no much difference. It’s still like the first time the incident happened.
“In fact, for up to two weeks no consultant or doctor attended to him, and his head STARTED smelling.
“We have been told he may still have to be admitted for six months or up to one year, for the DOCTORS to do a skin-grafting surgery on his open skull. They will cut skin from parts of his body, to cover up the skull.”

He added that he had also continued to foot the bills of the boy, despite the instruction of the state government to the hospital MANAGEMENT not to collect any money for his expenses.

Journalists gathered that a non-governmental organisation had to RAISE MONEY for Omonigho’s drugs and over N100, 000 had been purportedly spent in buying drugs, among other expenses.

The report of a fundraising for Omonigho’s medical expenses was said to have angered the management of LASUTH who allegedly accused Odia of MAKING MONEY off his son’s predicament.

The father of three said he was called into a meeting on Tuesday in which the management of the hospital promised to START implementing the state government’s pledge to the Abrahams.
He said,

“The Lagos State Government, through its Ministry of Health, has already played its part by writing a letter to LASUTH that it would foot all the bills for which we are grateful.
“But when the letter got to them, they did not implement it. I was still buying the drugs till yesterday (Tuesday) that I was exhausted and I cried out that I did not have any money to BUY drugs again.
“That was when the management of the hospital led by the Chief Medical Director, apologised and promised to START implementing the state government’s order.
“I have decided to wait for at least a week and see if they will change, like they promised.”

Odia said the Delta State Government and a few other people were interested in the medical REPORTwhich had not been issued to him.

“The real issue I have now is that they (LASUTH) have not released the medical REPORT which I asked for since October 16. They (LASUTH) have been directing me from one person to another and I am getting tired. If I see the report, I will know what exactly to do about this issue.”

Attempts to get the reaction of the MANAGEMENT of LASUTH proved abortive as its Public Relations Officer, Dele Johnson, neither picked his call nor responded to a text message sent to his phone.

Apple CEO Tim Cook comes out as gay

Apple Inc CEO, Tim Cook, 53, revealed today October 30th that he is gay. Tim, who became CEO when he succeeded Steve Jobs on August 24th 2011, has never discussed his sexual preference in public before today but said that many of his colleagues knew he was gay.

Tim, who is worth an estimated $500million, came out as gay in an editorial for Bloomberg Business Week, stating: "Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me". See what he wrote after the cut...

Tim Cook writes for Business Week

Throughout my professional life, I’ve tried to maintain a basic level of privacy. I come from humble roots, and I don’t seek to draw attention to myself. Apple is already one of the most closely watched companies in the world, and I like keeping the focus on our products and the incredible things our customers achieve with them.

At the same time, I believe deeply in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” I often challenge myself with that question, and I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today.

For years, I’ve been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know I’m gay, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the way they treat me. Of course, I’ve had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people’s differences. Not everyone is so lucky.

While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.

Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. It’s made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple.

The world has changed so much since I was a kid. America is moving toward marriage equality, and the public figures who have bravely come out have helped change perceptions and made our culture more tolerant. Still, there are laws on the books in a majority of states that allow employers to fire people based solely on their sexual orientation. There are many places where landlords can evict tenants for being gay, or where we can be barred from visiting sick partners and sharing in their legacies. Countless people, particularly kids, face fear and abuse every day because of their sexual orientation.

I don’t consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I’ve benefited from the sacrifice of others. So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.

I’ll admit that this wasn’t an easy choice. Privacy remains important to me, and I’d like to hold on to a small amount of it. I’ve made Apple my life’s work, and I will continue to spend virtually all of my waking time focused on being the best CEO I can be. That’s what our employees deserve—and our customers, developers, shareholders, and supplier partners deserve it, too. Part of social progress is understanding that a person is not defined only by one’s sexuality, race, or gender. I’m an engineer, an uncle, a nature lover, a fitness nut, a son of the South, a sports fanatic, and many other things. I hope that people will respect my desire to focus on the things I’m best suited for and the work that brings me joy.

The company I am so fortunate to lead has long advocated for human rights and equality for all. We’ve taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California. And we spoke up in Arizona when that state’s legislature passed a discriminatory bill targeting the gay community. We’ll continue to fight for our values, and I believe that any CEO of this incredible company, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, would do the same. And I will personally continue to advocate for equality for all people until my toes point up.

When I arrive in my office each morning, I’m greeted by framed photos of Dr. King and Robert F. Kennedy. I don’t pretend that writing this puts me in their league. All it does is allow me to look at those pictures and know that I’m doing my part, however small, to help others. We pave the sunlit path toward justice together, brick by brick. This is my brick.

Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple

War Machine Suicide Note ... Blame the Victim

War Machine penned a suicide note in his jail cell ... in which he paints himself as the victim as he recounts the night he brutally beat his porn star girlfriend Christy Mack within an inch of her life.

We broke the story ... War Machine tried to kill himself inside a Las Vegas jail cell this week -- a plan that was foiled by a corrections officer.

TMZ obtained a letter War Machine sent to a friend the day before his suicide attempt.  It's shockingly delusional. He says after they broke up and got back together, "Something seemed different about you."

He then tries to justify the beating, by saying he was stunned when he discovered her infidelity, and saying "Finding what I found that night was devastating to me, more than you will ever know," adding, "not just the unfaithfulness, but the way u cared for him and protected him."

War Machine says in the note this time he'd let Christy's new boyfriend Corey Thomas beat him up -- because he believes she would have stopped the guy and kicked her new dude out.

He then sinks into a world of self pity ... "I still don't understand how I got into this mess.  I don't know why this had to happen.  My life was going so well."  He then has the balls to say, "I forgive you, please forgive me."

War Machine is still facing 32 charges -- including attempted murder -- while he waits behind bars.
