Nigerian LGBTs awaits Abuja judges decision on anti-gay law repeal

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 12:59 PM PDT

This is a press release I just received from a group...and erm...I really don't know how to do an intro but it looks like Nigerian LBGTs (Lesbian, Bisexuals, Gays and Transgender) filed a suit against the Federal Govt stating that the anti-gay law is unconstitutional. Find the press release below..
Whilst  the  whole  world  looks  & waits  with  baited  breaths  on  whether Scotland would gain her independence from the UK after over 300 years as part of the Union.   Nigerian LGBTs along with Messers Ebah Joseph Teriah [claimant] and Joseph Ebah [Enahoro and Associates] legal brief for the claimant also await with baited breaths, to learn the outcome of his Justice Abdu Kafarati 's ruling on the claim filed against the Federal Govt in the Abuja High Court  earlier this year. Ruling due on September 25th
Mr Joseph Teriah Ebah a straight ally had filed a claim against the Nigerian Govt on Constitutional grounds , the claim stated that the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition ) Act 2014 a.k.a. Anti Gay Law  was unconstitutionalas it failed to take into consideration the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian LGBT community.     
Ms Elizabeth Funke Obisanya (Hrh), a Christian LGBT film maker  (Producer – Magdas lesbian lover – MLL©)  seen here at the Zafaa Film awards submitters event last month , added to the argument  - " the law not only took away the rights of  LGBTs to be who they are – Jesus paid the penalty price we are told in Galatians 3:13 so why the persecutions the law creates an environment of persecution and sufferings for the LGBTs community.  Many have been thrown out of their homes, jobs, families, beaten up and publically humiliated- all backed up by the President and the Senators.
At a time when most of the African Nations have taken the anti gay stance would Nigeria break away from the homophobic fold and do what is right according to the Nigerian Constitution and allow equal rights for ALL NIGERIANS? Or would the senators and Goodluck Jonathan remain in violation of their respective  oaths to Nigerians and the  nation?
A statement by Messers Ebah follows shortly,…

Looks like that Django actress may have been having sex with white husband when arrested by police

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 12:19 PM PDT

Django Unchained actress, Daniele Watts claimed in a post on Facebook that she was harassed and arrested by police in Hollywood on September 2nd because she was kissing her white husband in public and was mistaken for a prostitute...(read here). Well, it looks like she may have been doing more than kissing her husband.

TMZ has obtained exclusives pics of moments before the arrest and it looks like Daniele and her husband or BF were having sex in their car in public. See the photos after the cut...



From TMZ
The pictures were taken Thursday outside the CBS lot in Studio City. You see Daniele Watts straddling BF Brian -- their hands steadying themselves around the sunroof.   
An eyewitness who saw Daniele and Brian as he worked in a nearby office tells TMZ ... Brian was sitting in the passenger seat with his feet on the curb and Daniele was straddling him with her shirt pulled up -- breasts exposed.  The eyewitness says she was grinding on top of him, rocking back and forth.
Someone from the office went down and asked Daniele and Brian to stop because everyone in the office could see them but they continued
The eyewitnesses say Brian then began "horizontally bongoing her boobs back and forth." He says she eventually reached into the center console, grabbed a tissue, wiped him down and then herself and tossed it on the grass.
Someone from the office called the cops and made an indecent exposure complaint. TMZ obtained police audio when the cops came out, and Daniele played the race and fame cards.

Photos: Angry babe drags boyfriend on the floor in Yaba

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 10:54 AM PDT

Article not written by me...it's promo piece. Enjoy...


Lol. Ok bro I think she's had enough; you can just take a girl to the mall on a date and all you do is bury your head on your phone chatting the moment away I mean c'mon which Lagos babe wouldn't snap? Me I will snap o, seriously. This spy shot of a thug-of-war between two supposedly lovebirds have been trending online for a while now.

Those who really know the full story said that the not-so-fortunate dude owe his girl friend a long overdue explanation for his divided attention and mischievous laughter while chatting on his phone. 

His girlfriend who had endured the excruciating wait for some quality time from her man had begun to share her moments from a movie they had seen at a cinema when her man switched to his Palmchat mode (eyes fixed on the phone screen and fingers punching letters from the phone's key pad). The poor girl demanded for the attention she deserved politely at first…you heard that, politely.
The dude apologized and put his cell phone on sleep mode while his girl resumed her talking. In less than 5 minutes our guy pulled out his phone while his babe was looking him straight in the eyes, flicked the cell phone's function button and returned to his Palmchat mode; this time sending several loud chuckles to whoever he was chatting up. This was when all hell broke loose.

Angry babe demands an explanation
The story the way we heard it, continued with an obviously angry babe asking her man for some explanation for the gross negligence: "Guy, howfar who be dis person you dey chat sef wey make you no send me?" Our sources told us that our boy shushed his girl so that he could finish chatting whoever he was chatting on Palmchat without disturbance. That was when our babe threw all mannerism to the air and went ballistic, pulling for the cell phone. Our boy tried to hold onto his property but dis laby na iron laby… she pulled our poor boy along the Yaba bus stop while passers-by enjoyed some interesting drama unfolding before eyes.

It doesn't always have to be this way
I agree that mobile social platforms can be quite an interesting experience especially with Nigeria's trending platform, Palmchat overrunning the young and hearty right now (for more info on Palmchat, visit www.facebook.com/palmchatNow or microsite; www.palmchatnow.com). I think in spite of our love for these platforms we can still find that balance to give attention to whom attention is due or we shall end having more of this bizarre yet so hilarious spy shots overrunning the web. For now, I think I will savor this viral, is just crazy…see at that look on her face while in the bus…Lol.

MTO claims Chris Brown and Karrueche are expecting their first

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 09:34 AM PDT

Karrueche Tran, pictured above here with Chris Brown yesterday as he promoted his new album in LA, doesn't look pregnant to me, but according to MediaTakeOut, an industry source told them as a matter of fact that she's pregnant. Their report below...
"Remember all that talk a few months back about "pregnancy" that Chris Brown was doing on Instagram . . . well it worked. A MediaTakeOut.com insider confirmed to us that Karrueche is telling those close to her that she is in fact pregnant. This ain't rumors y'all - It's fact!"
The insider explained, 
"She's very confused right now, because she loves Chris and Chris wants a baby. But Karrueche wants more than just a child - she wants a real commitment. No more Rihanna jumpoff sessions, no more strippers, just the two of them."
Don't get it twisted though. Karrueche is keeping the baby. The insider explained, "[Karrueche] is preparing her life for the child now."
Congrats Chris and Karrueche . . . we can't wait until she starts showing!!
Lol. MediaTakeOut and their stories. Time will tell...

Delta state lawmaker walked out of Assembly for improper dressing

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 09:09 AM PDT

A member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Keston Okoro, was yesterday September 16th sent out of the floor of the Assembly for improper dressing. Leadership reports that House Speaker Peter Onwunsanya gave the order after a member of the house, Daniel Mayuku raised an objection to the mode of dressing of the lawmaker, saying that his dressing fell short of the rules and regulations of the House.
"My dear Speaker and members of this House, as honorable members, we are here to work according to the rules and regulations of this House. Therefore, let me draw your attention to the sitting position of the member representing Udu constituency and to say his mode of dressing is a total disrespect to this honorable House. Our mode of dressing should depict us as responsible members of the House, representing the people in our respective constituencies.'' Mayuku said.
Lol. Wetin be your own nah? Anyway, the Speaker immediately ordered Keston out of the chamber and warned that he should not return until he is 'properly dressed.'

John Travolta addresses ex-pilot gay sex claims for the first time

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 06:27 AM PDT

Earlier this year, a former employee of Hollywood actor John Travolta, Douglas Gotterba, claimed the two had been in a sexual relationship when he worked for Travolta's aviation company during the 80s.

In July, the pilot, who worked for Travolta, 60, from 1981 until 1987, threatened to spill the details of their affair in a book but Travolta's lawyers took him to court to stop him from writing the book, saying he was bound by a confidentiality agreement covering his employment with the actor. The two are currently in court.

Speaking about the gay sex claims for the first, the married father of two told The Daily Beast;
"This is every celebrity's Achilles heel. It's just about people wanting money. That's all. It happens on many levels. Also, I don't care that much about it. Other people may attack it back more than I do, but I let all the media stuff go a long time ago because I can't control it. I think that's why it persists, to some degree."
When asked if he finds it offensive, the actor replied:
"I found it most offensive with the loss of my son. I felt like that was the lowest I'd ever felt. Sex stuff is always going to be interesting to somebody, but you stay away from family. You really should. With that, I always felt like the media - not all of the media, but parts of it - went too low there."
Two years ago, Gotterba's ex-boyfriend Robert Britz, who the pilot dated after his time with Travolta, dished details of Gotterba's Travolta-related revelations to the ENQUIRER.
"Doug told me right at the beginning of our relationship that he'd had a homosexual relationship with John Travolta in the 1980s. Doug said John was constantly grabbing at his genital area, but he put up with John's sexual advances because working for him was 'lucrative' … after a few years, Doug grew apart from John sexually, and John's advances eventually started to repulse him. The relationship ended shortly thereafter." Britz claimed

FG defends $9.3m cash seized in SA, releases data on transaction

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 05:25 AM PDT

Nigerian Government has defended the controversial $9.3million seized from a private jet by South African immigration on September 5th. In a diplomatic discussion it opened with the South African government yesterday September 16th, FG said they are aware of the deal (money was meant to procure arms) and have presented documents on the transaction process to the South African govt as proof that the entire operation involving the seized aircraft belonging to CAN president, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, was genuine. Continue...


A source who spoke with Vanguard confirmed the on-going discussion between the two governments and said the seized aircraft has been released by the South African government. The source added that the money was seized following failure by Nigerian delegates to declare the money at South African airport
"Nigeria and South Africa are getting closer to diplomatic resolution of the row over the $9.3m transaction. The two nations have opened discussions. The Federal Government has submitted relevant data and documents on the transaction to South Africa and insisted that the transaction was legitimate. It also clarified that the funds were neither laundered nor smuggled for any covert manoeuvres. No launderer will be audacious to fly into a country in a chartered jet with such huge cash. The technical details on security matters, which necessitated the deal had been availed South Africa for screening. Based on initial scrutiny of the documents, the Challenger Jet has been released pending conclusion of a full-scale investigation by South Africa. There was procedural error at the airport, the team did not declare the $9.3million contrary to the aviation and Customs laws of South Africa. So, there was an oversight on the part of the delegation that went to complete the transaction. Nigeria is trying to complete the formality and we are confident that the cash will be released for the purpose it was meant for. Movement of cash for strategic purchase of security equipment by intelligence services is not new; it is a global trend. The FBI, KGB, MOSSAD and others do it." the source said

Watch: MC Galaxy's physical assault by US promoter captured on video

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 05:10 AM PDT

Music star MC Galaxy was physically assaulted by a music promoter on September 13 at a local club in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. Rarolae.com got hold of the video footage showing the incident. Unfortunately, this video only shows what happened immediately after MC Galaxy was assaulted by the promoter called T. Spotlite and after police was called to the scene.

Here's what's they said caused the fight. MC Galaxy was billed to perform at a club, but when he got there, he found there were less than 40 people at the venue, because the event was supposedly poorly promoted. After waiting for hours to perform, the Sekem crooner decided to leave, and that was when trouble started. The promoter allegedly grabbed and threw MC Galaxy from his car and punched him several times. He broke his belt, jewelry and shouted obscenities at him until the police arrived to escort MC Galaxy out of the premises. The singer didn't go to his hotel that day because the promoter had allegedly threatened to finish him. This is more MC Galaxy's side of the story, we haven't heard the promoter's side but it's still wrong to do this to an artist. Watch the video after the cut

I deserve an award for pioneering indigenious rap music in Nigeria - Lord of Ajasa

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:25 AM PDT

In an interview with Punch this week, indigenous rap artiste, Olusegun Osaniyi popularly known as Lord of Ajasa, who was quite popular in the early/mid 2000s, says he deserves an award for pioneering indigenous rap music in Nigeria. He said the new generation of indigenous artists sing 'nonsense' and still get endorsement, while they have been forgotten. Below is what he said...
"I pioneered indigenous rap music and today it has become lucrative and fashionable. Yet, these young musicians shy away from that fact. They try to hide it. If I don't blow my trumpet, nobody will do it. But I deserve an award, recognition and endorsement because a lot of people look up to me as their mentor. Look at Eedris Abdulkareem and 9ice, for instance. I'm saying they should take care of the pioneers, but what impact have these new artistes really made in the society to deserve all the endorsements they are getting? I mean, they sing nonsense songs while we (pioneers) do evergreen and clean music. Yet they keep discouraging us. 2face is an exception I am okay with his brand of music, because his endorsements are well-deserved."

Lord of Ajasa, who shot to stardom in 2005 with his single Otiya, blamed his down slide in the music industry to some decisions he took
"I left the music scene after I got married in 2009 to delve into other businesses. I started this movement long before these small boys emerged on the scene and I paved the way for many of them. When I began, I didn't know anything about music and entertainment. I was simply making music for the love of it, while 9ice and Olamide were following my footsteps. Whenever I made a mistake, they learned from it and got better. I was just a naïve village boy who came down to Lagos from Ondo State with no guidance. I never knew the big names in Nigerian entertainment at the time," he says.

Dino Melaye calls for pastor Oritsejafor's arrest

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:30 AM PDT

Former House of Reps member Dino Melaye thinks pastor Oritsejafor should be arrested because he owns the private jet that was used to transport $9.3million to South Africa. The money was to be used to buy arms. What do you guys think?

Meanwhile, have y'all noticed how some of our top pastors have been getting into one controversy or the other? From divorce, to building collapse, to money laundering through private jet. Looks like witches and wizards are coming for our pastors...lol. #kidding
