Dear LIB readers: As a married woman, must my husband be my next of kin?

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 12:04 PM PST

From a female LIB reader
My husband and I have been married for over a year now and I am about to put some of my money into a new business which requires I fill a form stating who my next of kin is. It's a lot of money and am skeptical about how these men can be. We are yet to have kids if not I would have put my child's name. I am thinking of putting in my brother's name but am still thinking if it's right. Must I put in my husband's name?

Are these politicians for real? Lol. See inside this storeroom

To be given to Nigerian voters ahead of the election? Lol...

OMG! Captured Jordanian pilot burnt alive in a cage by ISIS

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 11:28 AM PST

Oh dear Lord! Why aren't these world powers trying to eliminate ISIS once & for all? The 27 year old Jordanian pilot who was captured by ISIS militants after his warplane crashed while he was conducting airstrikes over Syria in December 2014, has been killed in the most despicable manner.

The terrorists released a video today showing the brutal murder of Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh. He was burnt alive while locked in a cage. The Jordanian military believe he was killed on Jan. 3rd.

In the footage titled 'Healing the Believers Chest', the militants pour petrol on Moaz, who's wearing an orange jumpsuit, and set him alight. He was burnt alive within minutes.

A few minutes after ISIS released the video, the Jordanian government moved five ISIS prisoners to another prison & released a statement saying all 5, including the failed female suicide bomber whom ISIS had originally demanded Jordan release in exchange for the pilot, will be executed tonight. 

Jordanian king Abdullah, who is currently in the US, will cut short his trip and will be immediately returning to Jordan to deal with the issue. Hope no country tries to talk Jordan out of this. Too bad!

Beyonce screams at Jay Z at a public restaurant over Rihanna?

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 09:13 AM PST

Another MediaTakeOut blockbuster. Hardly ever true 100% true but always interesting. Read below
MTO just got word that Beyonce and Jay Z were caught fighting in a public Sushi restaurant in Los Angeles - actually it was Beyonce who was doing the fighting.
As the photo's show - Beyonce screamed on Jay Z in front of everyone. No one is saying what they were fighting about . . . but according to one report, Beyonce said "That b*tch Rihanna" during her tirade. Speculation is that she caught Jigga texting Rih .. and rang the alarm on his azz. Let the world now recognize ..that those Knowles sisters don't play.

Bruce Jenner’s mum confirms he's becoming a woman, says she's 'proud of him'

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:05 AM PST

In a blockbuster interview with Radar Online, Bruce Jenner's mum confirmed that he's really turning into a woman. It took him 65 years to realize he wanted to be a woman. The report from Radar below
After months of speculation, RadarOnline.com can confirm that the rumors are true: Bruce Jenner is transitioning to become a woman! In a world exclusive interview, his mother, Esther Jenner, confirmed the news and revealed that she is so proud of her son.
"I just learned about [his transition]," she told Radar exclusively. "Bruce filled me in, and we had a very long, long, long talk about it."
Confirming the news that he'll share his journey on a documentary TV show, Esther said, "I have never been more proud of Bruce for who he is, himself as a father, as an Olympian, a wonderful public speaker. He instills enthusiasm in people. He's gifted."
Esther admitted she "did not know of his" inner struggle until recently. But she insisted, "Right now I am more proud of him for what he's allowing himself to do. I am more proud of him now than when he stood on that podium and put the gold medal around his neck. He deserves all the respect."
As Radar reported, Bruce hasn't found much support from his ex, Kris Jenner, or her daughter Kim Kardashian. But his mom is solidly in his corner.
"I support him whole-heartedly," she continued. "I just love him like I always have."

I will do better in my second Term – Jonathan

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:34 AM PST

Pres. Jonathan says he will do better in his second term if given the opportunity to rule again. He said this while speaking to traditional rulers in Kogi ahead of his campaign rally in the state earlier today..
"Whatever we have done in the last four years, we believe that we will even do more in the next four years. Most governments all over the world do better in their second tenure. This is because the Presidents are more stable that time, especially in these two terms arrangement. They are more stable. They sit down and plan for the country and focus on key areas." he said

Suge Knight's $2million bail revoked, now facing life in prison

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 06:57 AM PST

Embattled former record exec Suge Knight's $2million bail was revoked yesterday and he's now been officially charged with attempted murder in the hit and run crash that took the life of his friend, Heavyweight Records CEO, Terry Carter and seriously injured filmmaker Cle 'Bone' Sloan last week.

The judge in the case said he revoked Suge's bail because he saw him as a flight risk and also suspect he may try to intimidate witnesses to the crash.

The District Attorney felt confident in charging Suge with attempted premeditated murder, hit and run resulting in death, and hit and run resulting in injury after Sheriff Deputies analyzed a short video clip of the incident. Based on California's Three Strikes Law, if convicted, Sueg faces life in prison.

Photos: Moment Nigerian man & his bride are arrested in the UK for sham marriage

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 06:22 AM PST

This is the moment a Nigerian man and his bride were handcuffed by immigration police in the UK, just moments before their sham wedding ceremony. The suspicious registrar had alerted police after the couple couldn't spell each others names before the ceremony began. She also noticed the man reading details about his bride-to-be from the back of his hand. Lol.

The man is 33 year old Joseph Iwueke, and his bride-that-never was is 29 year old Slovakian Ingrida Stojkova. He was going to marry her so he could legally stay in Britain. They were busted by police and were charged with conspiracy.

Iwueke, Stojkova and two others, Obinna Odelugo, Robert Stojka who fixed the wedding have now been jailed for conspiracy to facilitate a breach of UK immigration law. See more pics after the cut...
