Is Your Job/Career Putting a Crimp in Your Social Life? Posted: 20 Jun 2015 01:17 PM PDT As absolutely everyone knows, life in Lagos can be summed up in three words: hustle, hustle, hustle (oh, and traffic.) Being ambitious and success-driven is a universally admired trait, but building your dream or climbing the professional ladder often translates to long hours in front of a laptop, or in meetings, followed by even more hours in unending Lagos traffic – leaving no time for love or a social life in general. The thing is, with being 'successful' usually comes the price of being perpetually unavailable. Many single professionals complain about not being able to meet 'their kind' and not having enough time to meet new people. When they do have the time though, the question is usually, where do you find them? Fortunately, we've got an answer for you. This June, Single in Gidi and Mona Bellucci Events are giving single, upwardly mobile professionals an exciting opportunity to mix and rediscover their social fire at 'ProConnect 1.0' ProConnect is a networking event, targeted at single professionals in metropolitan cities such as Lagos who are looking to meet new people, expand their social circles, and possibly find 'the one', in addition to making friends. The maiden edition of this event will feature interactive sessions, an art exhibition by Tokunbo 'Olatoxic', music by[User1] renowned guitarist Femi Leye and contemporary jazz artiste, Olujazz, a two course dinner and an unlimited drink bar by Martini all for the price of 10,000 (ten thousand naira ONLY). ProConnect 1.0 will be taking place at 6PM on the 26th of June 2015 at Spice Route, Victoria Island, Lagos. As the organizers of this event are committed to providing a positively genuine experience, please note that potential guests will be required to undergo a brief screening process.

Rihanna and rumoured new beau Karim Benzema arrive at the same nightclub as Chris Brown Posted: 20 Jun 2015 01:11 PM PDT Riihanna was seen making a rather eye-catching appearance at Hooray Henry's nightclub in West Hollywood with rumoured beau Karim Benzema. Turning heads as she entered the venue, the American songstress was dressed to impress in a chic pinstriped blazer and tiny matching shorts, which drew heaps of attention to her ample cleavage and slender legs. According to TMZ: It seemed like just another night at Hooray Henry's in West Hollywood Saturday at 12:52 AM when Rihanna showed up. Then -- 3 minutes later -- Chris Brown shows up and walks inside. There's no sign of Rihanna's new BF, soccer star Karim Benzema. Fast forward to 2:01 AM. Chris leaves the club. Exactly 1 minute later, Rihanna makes her exit. And then, at 2:04 AM, Karim surfaces and leaves the club with Rihanna. So things must have been awkward when they learned that RiRi's ex Chris was partying at the same venue. And a similar thing happened last month when Rihanna enjoyed a late night at New York's trendy Game nightspot with former partner Drake, when she was romantically linked to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Man kills police officer, then 'commits suicide by cop' after leaving last post on Facebook Posted: 20 Jun 2015 03:53 AM PDT A 21-year-old man from Cincinnati named Trepierre Hummons (pictured left) fatally shot Sonny Kim, 48 (pictured right) after posting on Facebook that he loved all of his friends and family and then called 911 on himself.Tre twice called the police, telling them that a man with a gun was acting erratically & then described himself in the conversation. The first person to respond to the call was officer Kim, Tre then shot him dead. Other before officers got to the scene and Tre engaged them in a gun fight. He was shot dead by other officers. Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell told a news conference on Friday that;
In the call, the young man is heard speaking frantically about a 'belligerent' young man 'in his early twenties' with a gun in his waistband. He described himself as short and when asked about the man's race he replies 'a black man, of course'. Hummons's mother arrived on the scene right before Kim did, and tried to keep her son away from the police officer before the young man started firing. Kim, who was wearing a bullet resistant vest, was shot multiple times by responding officers, Blackwell said. Hummons was said to have fired on a county probation officer who came to Kim's aid and then wrestled Kim's service weapon from him while he was lying wounded in the street. The suspect's mother reportedly attended to Kim as he laid on the ground dying. Her son then used the officer's weapon to fire at a third officer, Tom Sandmann, who ended the gunfight by shooting the young man, Blackwell said. Kim was taken along with Hummons to a local hospital where both were pronounced dead. Blackwell said Hummons' mother told them he had been having recent troubles with a girlfriend and was not behaving like himself. 'If you want to kill yourself, do it, but you can't take one of our men with you,' Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said. 'There is a deep injustice when people believe they can shoot at police officers.' Cincinatti.com |

Foreign media drags Nigeria's female team coach, Edwin Okon... Posted: 20 Jun 2015 03:36 AM PDT After Nigeria lost to the United States 1–0 in a Group D Women's World Cup match on Tuesday night, Falcon coach Edwin Okon apparently refused to shake hands with American coach Jill Ellis. Now he's being dragged by foreign media. I saw one in particular titled 'Meet Nigeria's handshake snubbing, no scouting, all praying embarrassment of a coach" which I found hilarious...though a little disrespectful which was published on Slate. Read after the cut... |
Posted: 20 Jun 2015 03:14 AM PDT The judge who arraigned Dylann Roof sparked outrage when he referred to the 21-year-old's family as 'victims' and urged the community to 'rally round them'. Charleston County Magistrate James Gosnell Jr told the court on Friday: 'We have victims - nine of them. But we also have victims on the other side. There are victims on this young man's side of the family.'The bizarre statement prompted outcry from the victims' families in the public gallery, and a torrent of complaints branding him 'insensitive' and 'racist'. And it has since emerged that the judge was reprimanded in 2003 for using the n-word in court, when he told a black defendant: 'There are four kinds of people in this world - black people, white people, red necks, and n---rs.' Gosnell was hauled before the Supreme Court for using the n-word in a bond reduction hearing, and two days later unlawfully ordered the release of a fellow judge caught drunk driving. For both, he was merely reprimanded and has remained Chief Magistrate ever since. He opened the court yesterday with his appeal for people to support Roof's family, adding: 'Nobody would have ever thrown them into the whirlwind of events that they are being thrown into. We must find it in our heart at some point in time not only to help those that are victims but to also help his family as well.' He then charged Roof, whose grandfather C Joseph Roof is a prominent lawyer in North Carolina, with nine counts of murder. Reacting to Gosnell's statement on Friday, Twitter users erupted in rage at his 'insensitive' and even 'racist' approach to the case. Mia Farrow, the actress, tweeted: 'Judge James Gosnell of #Charleston is obviously part of the problem. Jesus Christ!!!!' A user called MiMi wrote: 'Judge Gosnell DONE lost his mind. Right now, who gives a damn! His family bought the murder weapon! #DylannRoof' And one named Elizabeth said: 'Watching Judge James Gosnell lecture the families of victims in court re: sympathy for Roof family made me sick. Racism not thinly veiled.' The Daily beast |

It’s today! 100 young leaders meet Prof. Attahiru Jega courtesy of EbonyLife TV Posted: 20 Jun 2015 02:58 AM PDT Africa's first Global Black Entertainment and Lifestyle network, EbonyLife TV, is set to host 100 young leaders to an exclusive meeting with Professor Attahiru Jega, Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Saturday, June 20, 2015, at the Wheatbaker Hotel, in Ikoyi, Lagos. Invited guests are drawn from a selective pool of leading young professionals from various occupational sectors, and they will be conversing with Jega about his experience as Nigeria's most powerful electoral official. The meet will be moderated by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, a co-host of the highly rated The Spot on EbonyLife TV and host of Nigeria's most watched youth-oriented television show, Rubbin' Minds. "It is important for young Nigerians to ask questions; the Nigerian youth were a big part of the last general elections," said Mo Abudu, Executive Chairman and CEO of EbonyLife TV. "We want Nigeria's future leaders to grasp not only the importance of the elections and its ramifications for the country, but to begin to build upon it by truly understanding the legacy left by Professor Jega," she concluded. |
Pastor calls for jail term for women who call God's name during sex Posted: 20 Jun 2015 02:52 AM PDT Dr. John Hagee, the founder and senior pastor of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, not only agrees with what the Bible says, but also takes the faith to a higher level. One of the things that the Bible has consistently denounced is the taking of the Lord's name in vain. Speaking exclusively with Newslo, Hagee stated that ;in this world of crimes and deaths that surround us, a simple blasphemy does not get that much attention when it should." "Saying the Lord's name in vain might seem petite and insignificant compared to some of the things that are going on in the world right now, even in churches all across America. But, that's precisely the problem. If the shepherds of a faith start doing wrong, what is the flock supposed to do? Follow in their footsteps? I don't think so. The flock needs to get its bearings and start thinking for itself. But, nowadays you have people committing sin everywhere you look, including Houses of God, which are the holiest of places."Asked how the situation could be corrected, Hagee replied: "Well, we'd have to start with ourselves, as with everything in life. If you're asking about my personal opinion, there is no greater sin in terms of wrongly using God's name than women who use it during sex. That is one of the filthiest, most derogatory and sinful uses of the Lord's name I can think of. If it were up to me, I would put every single woman or girl who does that in jail. That would be a fine example of God's wrath aimed at what is, in my opinion, a terrible misuse of our Maker's good name''.Source: Newslo |
