| Photos: Driver allegedly killed by police in Agbor, Delta state Posted: 01 Dec 2014 11:21 AM PST  "I would like you to help me publish a news on your blog about a driver that was killed by some police men yesterday in Agbor, Delta state. The driver works with APACO foam industry, Agbor. On his way back to the company from where he went to dispatch goods in kwale with his colleague, he ran into some police men with the vehicle "Abavo police patrol " who stopped then at check point but he didn't stop. The police men chased them from Abavo town to agbor, exactly in front of the APACO foam industry.The story continues after the cut...but be warned there are some graphic pics too... The driver realized the police men were coming towards their vehicle, so he ran out of the vehicle out of fear, his colleague didn't run. Only for the police to shoot at him three times though he was still running with the bullet in his body. So the police men took the other colleague to their station and took about 700 thousand they were supposed to return to the company. Meanwhile the police didn't know the driver they shot had died already. We woke up yesterday morning to find the driver's corpse on the road side. The case is being taken to the state CID asaba already and the police men has been arrested. The name of the driver is tochukwu okafor and the colleague Nnamdi Akamefuna. Here is the picture of the late driver and photo of the colleague (above).

KCEE FEATURING NICKI MINAJ In January, Limpopo master Kcee announced to the world that he had sealed a deal worth about N25m to feature American star Nicki Minaj. Kcee who attended the Grammy Awards with label mate Mr Songs sent the entertainment world into frenzy when he made that known. "We are in the USA trying to get some collaboration done. It is true we are in the process of doing a song with Nicki Minaj, and that news was leaked by an agent to the media.We actually wanted it to be a surprise for the fans, but since it's out there now; we plan on taking it bigger" "We want to seal another artist from YMCMB that is bigger than Nicki Minaj. She's already sealed to be on the track, but now that everyone knows, we're still going to surprise the fans by getting another person from YMCB." Nigerians and fans of Kcee are yet to get even a snippet of that song, well DiarisGod. WIZKID WROTE A SONG FOR RIHANNA Starboy CEO and one of Nigeria's most celebrated young stars Wizkid dropped the bombshell in an interview when he said he wrote a song for American superstar Rihanna. Wizkid who in reality associates with top American stars like Chris Brown has had a great career so far and even released a new album 'Ayo'. We are waiting to hear Riri speak Yoruba and pidgin in her next song. Yea, I went to the studio to write something for her, she was in the studio as well, big shout out to Rihanna, so we made something together hopefully it gets picked. We'll still do more stuffs together, you know she's a cool person, I'm going back to Los Angeles so definitely I'm going to get back in the studio with her again.'... P-SQUARE TO RELEASE ALINGO CARTOON SERIES Africa's foremost twin celebs P-square raised the hope of their fans early this year when Peter announced the soon to be released animated series 'The Alingos'. We are yet to see the cartoons even though they have blamed the failure of the project on their disagreement at a time. "To herald the launch of The Alingos, the brothers are releasing a teaser – an animated music video for their hit single 'Unlimited'. It is the first high quality animated video in Nigeria and by extension the whole of Africa. This animated music video is 100% Nigerian; no foreign inputs and is created in High Definition with superior picture and sound quality, as expected from the duo. The production quality compares to anywhere in the world. The public and fans of P-Square will get to watch the 'Unlimited' animated video as well as The Alingos (when it hits the screens) by first downloading the P-Square app (P2) due for release next week." 9ICE QUITS MUSIC FOR POLITICS 9ice has never hidden his political ambition. The Gongo aso hit singer who is gunning for a house of Reps slot said he was done wiyh music and was making a full plunge into politics this year. 9ice has stepped up his campaign and awareness programs but shockingly, when his fans thought he was done, he released a new single recently. "I'm leaving music, I need to go into something more challenging" "Music is no longer competitive for me, I've done all that needs to be done in music" MR SONGS SAYS HIS PARENTS ARE RELATED Five star artist Mr Songs popularly known as Harrysongs drew so much attention in an interview when he said his parents were related, a statement he later denied. "It's just that after my dad and my mum gave birth to me, they separated and went their different ways. So, my father got married to another woman and also my mother to another man. They separated because I was given birth to by two relations. My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that.Well, I learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father. Then she was still in school and they were in the same class and the same village. But she didn't know that they are closely related. So, I was born based on what our villagers regarded as abomination and therefore they had to separate. Because it was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village, but he fled, because in Warri where I come from, it is a taboo. They termed it incest."

| Video of Indian sisters beating up men who harrassed them on bus goes viral Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:41 AM PST  They first objected but as the men continued to harass them, one going as far as touching the girls inappropriately, one of the girls removed her belt and started beating the men...the other girl joined with her fist. Another passenger filmed the whole incident on his mobile and uploaded it on Youtube.  The girls, 22-year-old Aarti and 19-year-old Pooja, later spoke to BBC Hindi about the incident; "The men started to abuse me and touch me. I told them 'if you touch me again, you'll get beaten up'. They called a friend on the phone and told him to 'come over because we have to beat up some girls'," Pooja said.The girls said they decided to take on their attackers when other passengers on the bus did not come to their help. "No one came forward in the bus to help us. So we took out our belts in self-defence [and hit the men]. If only the other passengers had helped us, we would not have needed to retaliate in this way," she said.The sisters said the men pushed them out of the bus when it came to a halt after some distance and attacked them again. They said they retaliated by throwing stones at the men who then finally left them alone. Sexual harassment is a big problem in India, with so many rapes reported weekly.

| Brand expert, Kenny Badmus, shares his amazing story of living with HIV in the last 15 years Posted: 01 Dec 2014 05:17 AM PST  
 1999. After three years of different pains and minor illnesses, I was encouraged by my best friend and Professor Soyinka, an HIV specialist, to go get tested so I could face my fear. I had just resumed work as a Copywriter at McCann. I'd rather not know. I was working on Coca Cola, and I would rather live in the joy of that dream. It was that point when you assured yourself this was only a lie from the pit of hell. I had not been a 'bad boy,' I would assure myself. 1999. I tested, and it came back positive. I blamed everyone but myself. I wanted to end my life immediately. Trust me, I did try a few things. Then I called on God. I told God to change the status because it didn't look good on him. I sang. I fasted. I gave offerings. Prophet offerings. I died several times, but I didn't die. I was always back to myself. I came up with a few pseudo coping skills, but I was always depressed. The picture of HIV back then was very gory, and I was wasting away. 2004. I realized I didn't die yet. My flesh had not fallen off. My heart was still beating. I still liked rice and pepper stew. I still had early morning erections - and not just in the early mornings. Shouldn't I be dead by now? I began to question everything I ever knew. 2006. I had a local operation for tonsillitis, and it brought my immune system to level zero. I was infected by everything you could name. But I was so happy that I was going to die finally. Wouldn't it be nice to die just like that? Unfortunately, I did not die. I was bedridden for four months and was forced to live by myself. It was there that my Exodus happened. I realized for the 1st time that the real death is when we refuse to live out our full potential. Death is not a physical thing. It is an emotional thing. When we stop living. When we stop laughing. When we stop learning. When we stop crying. Or feeling. So I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital. There, I started the anti-HIV medication. (Trust me, it doesn't kill as I had feared) 2007. I started living and loving myself. As a creative person, I created Orange Academy to start teaching people how to find their creative self. Love themselves. Tell compelling stories. I put all my life into it. Then, I started to undo all my pseudo coping skills. Oh, I had tons of them. Like getting married, wanting people to accept me, being the 'yes' man to Ministers of God - something I did in times past to assure myself I was doing 'God's will.' I stopped sending my money to Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and started investing it on people I could see around me. Little did I realize that God didn't send me to do anything to gain his favor or search for him. God had never been lost. I was meant to find myself and live my authentic life. Lift people up. Fight the oppression around me. I started spending time with myself. I started working out at the gym. I started to travel to enjoy the universe. 2008 - 2010. I looked in the mirror, and I saw a better me. A younger me. A healthier me. No more lies. At Orange Academy, we started the ART OF POSITIVE THINKING and started to use our arts and money to assist people living with debilitating diseases or social conditions. I took those layers of lies off my soul. I started writing my memoir - my full story as a preacher boy trying to find God who art in heaven! [ THE EXODUS coming out next year ]  2014. November. I had an appointment with my doctor in Maryland, USA, and he asked me: 'What's your secret?' All your medical tests are amazing. We tested for everything possible. No new infections or conditions. Blood work is excellent. Nothing at all to worry about. Perfect health. Just that you are still HIV+.' 'Oh really?' I said. 'I thought that had disappeared.' ' Well, it's still there, sadly. I hope Science gets the cure someday soon.' We both laughed and then I fought back a little tear in my eyes. This dude doesn't know how grateful I am for HIV. Thank God for HIV. I wish I never had it, but Lord I did! It made me run after myself. Maybe I would never have understood myself; that no one can save us but us. Maybe I would never know the refreshing power that loneliness can bring when we embrace our broken self. Here's what I want you to take away: don't end your dreams just because you are presented with bad news along the way. Remember, HIV doesn't kill anymore; it's ignorance that kills. Use that bad news to ride onto your next phase. It will be tough. I won't lie. Don't be afraid to live vulnerably. It's empowering. Empower yourself by loving yourself. Find yourself. Give yourself to people without expecting anything in return. If you are a Faith person, keep living your Faith in love for humankind. Empty yourself and accept to be filled with kindness from others. Believe me, there are still angels out there to lift you up. *NOTE: Potentially I cannot infect anyone with HIV since my viral load went to undetectable since 2008. Nevertheless, I still advise that you take precaution with sexual partners as an HIV+ person, so they don't infect you with STDs. If you have not tested, know your status. It's liberating. Starting an HIV medication now doesn't only protect your loved ones but can make you live even longer than people without HIV. |
