Rich black celebs, including Oprah, Diddy & Mayweather want to buy Clippers

Posted: 01 May 2014 12:45 PM PDT

With the Basketball Commission forcing L.A Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell his team following his racist audio tape scandal, several high-profile black celebrities have shown interest in buying the team. Oprah Winfrey, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Floyd Mayweather and Magic Johnson have all shown interest, especially Oprah.

Sterling, however, says his team is not for sale and won't go down without a fight. The 81 year old, who has not issued a public apology yet, bought the Clippers for $12 million in 1981. Today they are worth a staggering $575 million. Oprah is worth over $3billion...so she's capable.

The only way Sterling can be forced to give up his team is if 3/4 of the NBA owners agree to the sale.

LG Electronics delivers powerful sound entertainment in TV viewing

Posted: 01 May 2014 12:45 PM PDT

Increasingly, it is becoming clear that superior picture quality alone does not guarantee an enjoyable TV viewing experience; great sound is important to consumers as well and LG Electronics, a global leader in Consumer Electronics and Convergence Audio and Video products has addressed this issue through introduction of the LG Soundbar with model no. NB3530A

Aimed at bringing dimension and conviction to TV and movie viewing, the unique 2.1-channel sound bar provides consumers with powerful sound quality minus the clutter associated with some audio systems. Continue...



Speaking at this remarkable achievement, General Manager, Convergence Audio Video Division, LG Electronics, Mr. Jae Sang Lee said: "our stylish and sleek soundbars are designed to fill any room with pitch perfect audio. For us at LG Electronics, we have always been consumer friendly, with this sound bar we are certain that our consumers are not short of 100% satisfaction, as this will give them quality sound effect without hitches and stress".

Recently WHAT HI-FI?- the world's most trusted tech reviews online magazine recognized the LG Soundbar NB3530A as a device that is redefining the frontiers of soundbars technology and what consumers should expect from them. According to the leading review site, 'the LG NB3530A sound bar does the job, and does it well. It looks great, sounds very good and there are various interface of connection.'

The NB3530A Soundbar kicks out an impressive powerful sound output of 300 Watts of power making the sound bar very capable in producing engaging sound effects, while LG's 3D Surround Processor aims to make stereo sound feel more immersive during TV viewing. 

The uique selling point of LG's soundbars is its super-slim design, which allows for even more discreet installation than usual. The stylish and slim speaker system complements the unique products, having chosen to flaunt its assets with a glossy finish while other manufacturers prefer to hide the drivers behind cloth or metal grilles. 



The line of touch controls on the face of the main unit sits above a small display, used for basic information such as the selected input. Below this is a USB port for playing MP3 and WMA files from memory sticks. A peek at the back shows a unique array of three inputs: one 3.5mm jack and two digital optical inserts. This simplifies the setting up process.

Consumers do not have to worry about external speakers since the left and right channels are already part of the sound bar unit. All they have to worry about is the connection to the TV with 2 optical inputs to work with. Just take the included optical cable and hook it up to one of the ports and you are all set. The port in jack is also available for users' convenience of utilizing portable devices on the sound bar.

The LG NB3530A has its own separate subwoofer and it does not require a physical connection to the sound bar. It communicates wirelessly which is convenient as you don't have to go through any complicated pairing process to get the 2 components working with each other. This means that you can freely mount the sound bar to the wall without worrying about where to place the subwoofer. In fact, the sound bar looks great on the wall especially if the TV is mounted to the wall as well.

Another convenient feature of the NB3530A Soundbar is the built-in Bluetooth which can be paired with usual Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets, portable media players and laptops. All of these devices are capable of playing music and many of the streaming apps compatible with these devices have Bluetooth streaming support as well.  the Sound Sync feature enable users beam sound from an LG TV to the sound bar wirelessly.
The sound bar can still decode DTS and Dolby Digital so it still remains good for watching movies. LG electronics with the NB3530A have created great sound impact with minimal design.
This revolutionary product clearly demonstrates LG's dedication to providing consumers with captivating audio experience. It is apparent that by implementing advanced technologies, smart connectivity and control, LG Electronics will continue to be a leader in the Home Entertainment industry.

Dear LIB Readers: What should I do about this my mad, crazy, stupid wife?

Posted: 01 May 2014 11:17 AM PDT

Another hilarious Dear LIB. My goodness! Are these stories for real? Lol. Please read below..
Dear people of this great blog please I need your help. I'm tired of my life. Please if I die, someone should arrest my wife. Please I beg you. This woman is crazy, mad, stupid in fact it will never be well with all you Nigerian women that don't let your husbands rest in the house.
Linda my dear, I'm a 48year old man, my wife is 39 that's if it's her really age because I dont trust her. We have been married for 16years and we have 4 lovely boys. And every day its one problem or the other. I don't beat my wife o, we fight physically. We wrestle like our lives depended on it. other women allow their husbands beat them and after wards still go and apologize to their husbands but my wife will fight me like a man.  
Linda, I cheat, most married men in Lekki do, in fact in Nigeria we all cheat. I used to have many girlfriends until I met this young girl. Very beautiful girl. We've been dating for 6 months now. Yes I rented and furnished an apartment for her, that's where I relax when my mad wife attacks me in the house.
Just last week I don't know how this crazy woman got the address where my gf lives and went to beat her. Not only that she and her useless sisters, old hags that will not stay in their husbands house, put pepper in the innocent girl's vagina. Please is that fair, please help me judge.

I went home angrily and before I even confronted her she attacked me, held my balls. This is a mother of 4. I'm not even her mate. God, you women are devils and it will not be well with you.

Question is, is it time to divorce this woman. She might not let me see my boys if I did that. Please what's the solution. I love my girlfriend too much that I want to marry her and she's willing to be my wife. I'm just scared of losing my boys.

Floyd Mayweather puts ex on blast. Says they broke up because she aborted their babies

Posted: 01 May 2014 08:51 AM PDT

What a child this guy is. A very jealous Floyd Mayweather put his ex-fiancee, Shantel Jackson, on blast online earlier today. Here's what happened. Shantel posted a pic of herself and rapper Nelly on her instagram page, calling him a real friend. Thing is, there have been rumours recently that the two were dating, though Nelly has since denied this.

Moments after Shantel posted the pic, the boxing champ posted a picture of an ultra-sound with Shantel's name on it claiming the real reason they broke up was because she aborted their twin babies. Of course he deleted the pic minutes later but not before it spread like wild fire. Not nice...

Chaos in Ogun as mob sets three kidnappers ablaze

Posted: 01 May 2014 05:21 AM PDT

Pandemonium broke out yesterday April 30th in Ijoko Ota in Ado-Odo-Ota LGA of Ogun State around 9am when a mob set 3 suspected kidnappers ablaze after their victim, one Elizerbeth Oduwole screamed for help.
 
Reports say the lady's scream attracted passersby who got hold of the kidnappers, beat them to a pulp before setting them ablaze. The vehicle they rode in was also set ablaze by the angry mob.
 
Confirming the incident, the Police PRO in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi said the victim, 26year old Elizabeth who resides in Atan-Ota had boarded a vehicle to Ewekoro but found herself in Gas Line in Ijoko were she immediately screamed for help. Continue...

"She screamed from the vehicle in which she was being taken to their den when she observed that she was in another place and the people in the area blocked the vehicle, beat the occupants, killed them and burnt them to ashes. The victim is being interrogated; the suspects were burnt to ashes. We are going to use multifaceted approach; we want to know if there had been an interaction between the suspects and the victim. The jungle justice affected our case. The people alerted us at the Headquarters instead of calling the DPO in Ota, and immediately we asked the DPO to move to the scene, but, before they got there, the suspects had been killed and burnt to ashes. It was a heavy inferno; they put tyres on the suspects and set them ablaze. We have evacuated their ashes. We have taken over the matter; we are still investigating the matter.  We condemn jungle justice, people should desist from this act", the PPRO, said.
 
Meanwhile  on Tuesday April 29th in Abeokuta, men of the state's Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps rescued a middle aged woman named Favor Okoye from being lynched by an angry mob for allegedly kidnapping a baby at about 2.55pm along Toroto street  in Abeokuta.
 
In a statement released by the Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC in the state, Olanrewaju Kareem, they were able to rescue the woman after a taxi driver alerted his men of a woman who had been beaten to a pulp and was in the pool of her blood 
 
According to him, "a taxi driver alerted civil defence men keeping vigil on critical infrastructures around Akin-olugbade/Pepsi/Totoro areas that a woman has been attacked around Totoro and was about to be killed. The men quickly raced to the scene to rescue the woman but, all efforts and appeal by civil defence to allow the suspected kidnapper face the consequence through the legal process proved abortive as the mob insisted on killing the woman.
"Because of this development, the civil defence officer called office for reinforcement as a result of which armed men were deployed to the scene.

"In spite of the fact that those civil defence men on ground were able to take possession of the suspect and took her towards Akin-olugbade area in order to get a vehicle to convey her to a safe place, they were still followed and were all along resisting that the woman should not be taken away.
"The situation became more violent when the armed men of civil defence arrived. They threw available objects including bottles, planks, stones among others, the mob though succeeded in breaking the windscreen of civil defence vehicle but they were able to rescue the woman from being killed.

"The woman who was in a state of coma as she could not talk was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre where she is receiving treatment. She gained consciousness after one hour after the first set of treatment had been administered on her.

"We therefore appeal to members of the public to always ensure justice through legal means as jungle justice will make innocent people to suffer", he said.

Nigerian doctor found guilty of assaulting patient has been acquitted

Posted: 01 May 2014 04:49 AM PDT

The Nigerian doctor, Abiodun Bale, who was charged and found guilty of attacking a female patient in his surgery when she disagreed with his diagnosis (read here) has been acquitted. 

Lancashire Telegraph reports that Dr Bale appealed against his conviction last December and won.
Dr Bale agreed there was a dispute but did not agree he had touched the female patient. He claimed that during a 'breakdown' between himself and the patient, she was dissatisfied with the treatment & advice and decided to make a false claim about assault.
The doctor had told the court he had just wanted to explain to her that he didn't want her to leave and was trying to do his best for her.
A judge allowed the appeal, although the judge said they didn't believe he had told the truth. The GP had earlier been given a six-month conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £1,015 costs by the lower court. He now has no criminal convictions.

Nigerian dupes American lover of N52.5million

Posted: 01 May 2014 04:30 AM PDT

29 year old Henry Ogu (pictured right), an indigene of Amafor - Ishingwa Umuahia, Abia State and his accomplice, 42 year old Yunusa Okonkwo (pictured left) have been arrested by the Special fraud unit of the Lagos Police command following a petition they received from an American lady saying Henry duped her of N52.5million ($350,000), Punch reports.
A statement by the SFU Police Public Relations Officer DSP Ngozi Isintume-Agu, states that Henry met the American lady on a dating site sometime in January 2013 and they started a friendship which blossomed into an affair. Later Henry made her believe he was a director in an oil and gas company, called Raydeus Synergy Nigeria Ltd and was in a financial crisis. He asked the lady for assistance which she obliged and sent him $350,000. Continue...
The statement reads in part:
"The victim, a US citizen resident in New Jersey, alleged that sometime in April 2013, she met Ogu on a dating site and both started a relationship which lasted for months until the suspect manipulated and made her to believe that he was in financial trouble in Nigeria. She further stated that she sent  $350,000.00 to the two account numbers that Ogu provided.  The account numbers were Skye Bank Account Number 36204796 and Ecobank account No. 04087350 belonging to Faneece Business Services International ".
With the account numbers provided by the American lady, the police traced the account number to be owned by one Yanusu Okonkwo, an indigene of a native of Amuri Nkanu West LGA of Enugu State who lived in Kaduna and was a patent dealer and ran a bureau de change
"Okonkwo confessed that he was the account holder of Faneece Business Services International and admitted that he had provided his two bank accounts for the illicit transactions. He also said Ogu had provided him with his account number where he transferred the money after converting it to naira. He gave Ogu's account details as Diamond Bank account No. 0021206871 with account name Raydeus Synergy Nigeria Limited. Okonkwo added that he had deducted his commission of N2 per dollar before paying the money to Ogu."
"Ogu confessed that he deceived the victim into believing that he wanted to marry her, but was stranded in Nigeria and needed financial assistance. He said that he had spent all the money; N9m was used to purchase a heavy duty generator which has been recovered by the police. He had also purchased a plot of land for N800,000 along the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway.  A cash sum of N2m was also recovered from him. Investigation is ongoing. Effort is being intensified towards the recovery of the remaining money that was fraudulently obtained from the complainant or its proceeds. Suspects will be charged to court to serve as a deterrent to others. The Commissioner of Police, SFU, Mr. Umar Idris, uses this medium to reassure the public of the Unit's commitment to fight internet fraudsters and advises that such cases should be promptly reported to the unit." it read

Happy New Month & Happy Workers' Day

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 07:22 PM PDT

You're going to get knocked down more times than you care for. People will tell you that you can't succeed, that you can't do it. They will say you're not good enough, not strong enough, that you don't have what it takes. They will laugh at you, make fun of you, talk behind your back. Your seeming failure will make them feel good. They want you down so that they can keep stepping on you. As far as they are concerned, your life is not going anywhere. But you have to understand one thing, they are not your God. They don't know you like that. They don't know what drives you, what motivates you, what shines inside of you. They don't know your strength, your will or your power.

They forget that you are one thing and one thing only. You are a divine being, specially created. You are a deity in jeans and t-shirt. You are magnificent, you are brilliant and there's absolutely nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it. They can't tell you what you can or can't do, what you can or can't be! You have a strength inside of you that even you are not aware of. You are stronger than you think, braver than you believe. There's a god in you. Whenever you are in doubt, look inside of you, there's a source of strength deep inside that will always spring up when you look. Go out and achieve, not because you want to shut people up but because your dreams are worth it. You are worth it!

Happy New Month people..and Happy Workers Day!
Kisses

Check out the 7-carat diamond ring George Clooney gave new fiancee

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 03:57 PM PDT

I heard a few days ago that chronic bachelor George Clooney was engaged but I decided not to carry it until I saw a ring. It was hard to believe, especially because he's only dated this woman for less than seven months. But praise be to God, the news is true. George reportedly proposed the traditional way - on bended knee - to Lebanese-born, Oxford-educated lawyer, Amal Alamuddin on April 22nd with a 7-carat emerald-cut diamond ring with two tapered baguettes set in platinum, which he helped design.

People magazine has exclusively obtained a pic of the ring and it's beautiful. There are reports that they are planning to marry before September. When a man knows, he knows! Congrats to George. Continue...



Amal is a top lawyer whose work includes issues related to Syria, drones and Wikileaks and is also an adviser to former UN Secretary general Kofi Annan, now the special envoy to Syria.

Amal reportedly got George very interested by turning him down twice when he asked her to dinner. She said she was too busy but agreed to the third date. Six months later, she did what no woman has been able to do in over 20 years, get a ring from George

This will be the second trip down the aisle for Clooney. He was married to Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993

Nigerian doctor pleads guilty to illegal distribution of painkillers

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 03:28 PM PDT

A Nigerian doctor is getting some time in the US for the illegal distribution of painkillers. Apparently it's the same doctor who was convicted of molestation 2 years ago and suspended from the Physicians Association in Indiana.

Wishtv.com reports
An Indianapolis doctor has pleaded guilty to illegally distributing painkillers. According to the Marion County Prosecutor's office, Dr. Segun Rasaki pleaded guilty Wednesday to two felony dealing charges.  Officials say the doctor was writing prescriptions to multiple patients, even after his right to do so had been suspended.
In 2012, Dr. Rasaki was convicted of sexual battery and battery against two patients.  The doctor received a one year sentence for that conviction. Rasaki is scheduled to be sentenced on May 27.
