There's now a petition for Jay Z and Beyonce to take better care of daughter's hair

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 05:43 AM PDT

This is not cool. A petition has been launched on change.org asking Beyonce and Jay Z to comb their daughter Blue Ivy's hair...and so far it's gotten over 4,000 signatures.. 

The petition was started by a woman named Jasmine Toliver, and under her petition she wrote;
'As a woman who understands the importance of hair care, it's disturbing to watch a child suffering from the lack of hair moisture. The parents of Blue Ivy, Sean Carter aka Jay Z and Beyonce have failed at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy's hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and lint balls. Please let's get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair.'
Not liking or criticizing Blue Ivy's hair is one thing, but putting up a petition on change.org to me is crossing the line. You can't tell a mother what to do or not to do with her own daughter's hair. One person even wrote "cruelty to children has to stop!" Cruelty? Hmmmm

Nigerian woman smuggled to the UK to work as sex slave & forced to undergo voodoo to prevent her from running away

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 04:30 AM PDT

3 members of an international prostitution ring that smuggled a Nigerian woman into the UK to work as a sex slave under the threat of a voodoo curse faced jail yesterday June 13, UK Daily Mail reports
The gang conned the innocent 23-year-old into flying to Heathrow Airport on a bogus passport with the promise of education, a job and a new home.
Before leaving Nigeria, she was raped and forced to go through a black magic 'juju' death ritual to prevent her running away.
But when the woman arrived in London, her employment failed to materialize. Instead, she was told she was destined to work as a sex slave in Italy, a court heard.
Convicted: Gang members; Johnson Olayinka (left) and Florence Obadiaru (right). Continue...



The plan was only thwarted when Italian authorities spotted her forged ID and sent her back to the UK.

It is believed the woman is just one of many victims of the group, based in Africa, that traffics young women through England to work as prostitutes in mainland Europe.

Olusoji Oluwafemi, 44, Johnson Olayinka, 45, and Florence Obadiaru, 48, were convicted of trafficking the woman into the UK for sexual exploitation and arranging for her transfer to Italy.
Oluwafemi and Olayinka were also found guilty of conspiring to get the woman a false passport.

Oluwatosin Osoba, 48, was acquitted of the same charge following a trial at the Old Bailey.

Judge Rebecca Poulet said custody is inevitable and sentence was adjourned until July 11.
The victim, who only spoke a little English, had been recruited by a Nigerian local called Beneditta in her home village near Benin City.
Her family had struggled financially since the death of her father in 2008, but she aspired to become a nurse.

In February 2011, Beneditta offered to help the young woman by sending her to England to be educated properly and get a job, the court heard. 

She was told the cost would be £40,000 - which she would have to repay to the organisers.
Prosecutor Christopher Ames told the court: 'She had no idea at all what £40,000 was in her own currency, her life had been very hard after her father died, and she jumped at the chance to be educated and be trained for a job, and get away from the desperation and misery of her current family situation.

'She was very excited, a naive young girl, at the prospect of going abroad.'
She was sent to the Nigerian capital of Lagos on March 23, 2011, to meet a man called Felis who made her a false passport and coached her in getting through UK immigration.
'While he was doing that, he began to sexually assault her', said Mr Ames. 
 
'That led him to beat her with a belt and that in turn led to him raping her that night.'
When she complained to Beneditta the next morning, she was told: 'It was what you should have expected'.
She was then told to pose for photos with a man who would pretend to be her husband.

In September 2011 she was summoned to the west African country of Benin to get a visa. The woman was then told to swear an oath to repay the money in a ceremony that involved cutting her armpit and pubic hair and taking finger nail clippings.
'The oath she was solemnly required to take was to repay that money, £40,000, on pain of death if she did not,' said Mr Ames.
'This was what was known as a juju ceremony.'
She was driven to Lagos on September 12, 2011 and put on a plane to the UK, meeting Olayinka at Heathrow Airport.

Olayinka, calling himself 'Mike', checked her into the Marbella Hotel in Peckham, south London, and took away her money and passport.
She was next taken to the house of Obadiaru, an old friend of Beneditta's, and kept there for a few weeks with no sign of a job or education.
Obadiaru's son, who suffers from learning difficulties, groped her on the first night in the house in Brockley, southeast London.
But when she complained, Obadiaru allegedly told her: 'What do you think you are here for?'

The woman was told she was being sent to Italy on October 3, 2011, and collected another false passport from Olayinka's home.
'It was then for the first time that this very young girl from a small village in Africa, miles away from home, realised she was about to be sent to Italy to be forced into prostitution', Mr Ames said.

'She came to that gradual realisation, and she suddenly remembered hearing conversations between some men and their girls in Italy.
'She couldn't speak Italian and there was no question of her being able to work in Italy in the normal sense.
'She became very upset and fearful of what awaited her.'
The gang's plan was thwarted by Italian immigration officials, who stopped the woman on an obviously forged passport at Milan Airport and sent her straight back to the UK.
After she was detained by immigration officials, the woman led them to the alleged identity factory in Osoba's flat in South Bermondsey, southeast London, and laptops which had been used to make false documents by Olayinka.

Mr Ames said the National Crime Agency launched Operation Visionary after quizzing the woman 'to penetrate and stop the activities of an organised crime group based in Africa and here in England, which has as its aim the trafficking of vulnerable young women from Nigeria to European countries, including Italy and France for the purpose of prostitution'

Oluwafemi, of South Bermondsey, southeast London, Olayinka, of Peckham Rye, southeast London, and Obadiaru, of Brockley, south London denied conspiracy to traffic a person to the UK for the purpose of sexual exploitation, and conspiracy to traffic a person out of the UK for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Oluwafemi, Olayinka, and Osoba, of South Bermondsey, southeast London, denied conspiracy to commit an offence of possessing false identity documents.

'He is a responsible married man" How valid is this statement?

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 03:43 AM PDT

Someone sent me this as a topic to discuss on LIB. Find below and share your thoughts
Some people believe that getting married bestows a certain degree of responsibility on a man which makes them appear responsible in the eyes of others while some others do not believe in all that. They believe most married men are far from the word, Responsible.
Does marriage really bestow a certain degree of responsibility? Are all married people to be taken as responsible citizens?
Hmmm...but some Lekki wives and husbands sha! #lipsealed. Lol. Thoughts?

21 year-old Maryam Opeyemi Raji (pictured above) has emerged the youngest graduating medical student at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, during 2012/13 academic session.

Parents, family and friends gathered on Wednesday, June 11 to celebrate her success story. Speaking on how she did it, Maryam said;
"It was my dad's dream I become a medical doctor. Unfortunately I lost him at age 8. People around me, especially my mum, nurtured the dream. She helped me keep the goal, it was very challenging but having her around kept me focused. Luckily for me, I finished my secondary education at an early age, and at 15, I gained admission to study medicine at the University of Lagos. Here I am today, I am being celebrated as the youngest medical student."
21 year old doctor? That's major. Congrats to her...

We entertainers are prostitutes to telecoms giants - Singer Etcetera writes

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 01:42 AM PDT

Singer turned writer Etcetera now comes for his colleagues who collect telecoms endorsement deals without caring about what he calls 'poor' services being rendered by the companies to its subscribers who are also fans of the celebs. Oh please, like he wouldn't collect if called...lol. Read below...
It all started around 2000 AD, just right after the millennium bug had been crushed. A new era had just begun. With it came the beginning of what is known today as corporate prostitution. The telcos had just landed with their base stations with billions of dollars to spend. At a time when Plantashun Boiz ruled the 36 states and the federal capital territory was left for Age Beeka and his angel Angelica. When the Remedies was Hip hop and the hustle was done with pure zeal and autotune and Styl-plus were still in their mothers' wombs. Now just a little more than a decade after, in the year 2014, the telcos and their billions have taken over. The whoring has finally begun. With the telcos unashamedly fighting over entertainers' right before our very eyes, Saka will easily take home the award for the entertainment prostitute of the year. Having slept with two competing brands without any remorse, musically, Saka's action is called a portamento. But do we expect Saka to be wary of jumping from one telco's bed to another knowing that there are no sexually transmitted diseases involved in the act?

Of course, every Tom, Dick and Harry is hoping for a whoring opportunity of such magnitude. Should we blame the entertainers for not playing hard to get when the telcos flirt around them? When the first and most important rule of any engagement, especially in entertainment is "money for hand back for ground," and we all need no reminder of the current economic situation in the country. "Any revenue is good revenue" has become the adopted mantra for every youth whether in entertainment or corporate Nigeria. It is no longer news that the telcos are not providing services commensurate with their subscribers' expectations.

When the telcos landed in Nigeria, phones and sim cards were sold for 65,000 but today, they are freely shared on the streets for everyone. How come the sim cards were not issued for free at the very beginning? Should you endorse a brand that has exploited your loyal fans who gave you the popularity for brands to recognise you?

Now this leaves us wondering where the allegiance of the entertainers lies. Is it to the brand or to their conscience? As an entertainer, do you really love the brand you endorse? Do you really believe in the efficacy of their products and services? Shouldn't this be considered before associating your reputation with the brand? An entertainer who is asked to endorse a product of an oil company, would you take into consideration the environmental degradation caused by the activities of such oil companies?

Shyla Nelson, a renowned American opera singer and environmentalist came to Nigeria in 2012 to promote her save the earth campaign. She needed financing and support for her wonderful world view project from top Nigerian brands. But she refused sponsorship from some major oil companies because of the damage caused by their activities in their host communities.

Back to the telcos, when the chairman of a popular telco calls, very few entertainers in the world can say no. In fact, most entertainers are lobbying to be called by the chairman, even with the knowledge that endorsement deals are like prison sentences. But it is a prison sentence the entertainers are willing to serve because the "pay" is good. It is correct to say that the conscience of every entertainer should be pricked before aligning with brands. It shouldn't be all about the money. You should also consider how your relationship with these brands affects your image. There have been instances where entertainers who have never tasted alcoholic beverages before are compelled to consume such beverages because they signed product endorsement deals. Do you really love the brand you endorse? What would you say of the incident of Mike Ezuronye, the popular Nollywood star who threw the Nigerian blogosphere agog recently with his picture on instagram with MTN boldly written at a top corner?Posing with an MTN backdrop would have seemed normal for anyone else but Mike Ezuronye who is an Airtel ambassador. It was an intriguing spectacle how he was subpoenaed, tried and found guilty by the internet court of justice (ITJ) for franternising with a competing brand. But the good thing for Mike Ezuronye is that the internet court just like the EFCC and ICPC, is a toothless bulldog. So, the case between Mike Ezuronye and the olofofos of the internet was adjourned and the new date for the hearing is yet to be communicated to us. Let us all rise as the court goes on recess for now. But we will certainly resume proceedings next week Saturday.
