Third time's not the charm. Halle Berry files for divorce from Olivier Martinez

Posted: 27 Oct 2015 12:48 PM PDT

She said she was not going to marry again after her second marriage ended but she took the plunge again, but unfortunately this also didn't work out after just two years. TMZ reports below...
Halle Berry filed for divorce from Olivier Martinez ... TMZ has learned. We're told Halle cited irreconcilable differences. As for money, we're told it's not an issue because the couple had a prenup. A source close to the couple tells us, "They have a personality difference." And the incident at LAX, where Olivier hit a guy with a car seat, exacerbated their conflicts. Olivier got sued for the incident last week and our sources say the couple argued about the suit, and it became a breaking point.

One source tells us the 2 year marriage went into a tailspin a week ago ... to the point each of them had it with the marriage, but Halle filed first.

Another source said, "They're just very, very different people. He's a very macho guy, and things just didn't jive."

The couple issued a joint statement ... "It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life, and we hope that you respect our, and most importantly our children's privacy, as we go through this difficult period."

They have one child together, Maceo, who is 2 years old. Halle also has a daughter, Nahla, from a previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry.

Our sources say Halle is not asking for joint or primary custody, but rather what is in "the best interests of the child."

We're told the expectation on Halle's part is for a quick, non-contentious divorce.

Personal loan to the rescue

Posted: 27 Oct 2015 09:12 AM PDT

This is a sponsored post. Read below
Christmas is fast approaching and I am like "Oh my God" what am I going to do? Mum's 50th birthday is a few weeks away! The children need Christmas clothes, the house needs to be redecorated for the season and my car has been at the mechanic's for ages! For the past three months I have not gotten any major job as an event planner so I literally have nothing on me.
I placed a call to my closest friend, Sade, the only person that bails me out when I am down on cash and she said "I am very sorry; I just made payment for my Christmas goods coming in from the UK, so I am broke too."
While I was still thinking of how to get that much needed cash Sade called me a few minutes later urging me to take a Personal Loan. Of course I know about loans, but I have been so skeptical about taking them because of many awry stories I have heard about hidden charges, delay in approval and ridiculous interest rates. So I told Sade I wasn't interested in the loan.

She however persuaded me, telling me about a particular loan outfit that can approve a cash loan of upto NGN1.5 million in just 48 hours! I did not believe a word of this, but I headed down there all the same and to my amazement I got the loan with the lowest interest rates you can imagine and without having to put down collateral.
Now I am fully prepared for the festivities ahead and I have started getting everything ready for an amazing birthday party and a wonderful Christmas, all because I made the right choice by accessing the personal loan.
You too can get this Personal Loan from Rosabon Financial Services. Simply visit www.rosabon-finance.com/loanYou can also send an email to info@rosabon-finance.comor call 07046533688, 07046523346

Young woman left paralyzed after a robbery attack shares her story

Posted: 27 Oct 2015 07:07 AM PDT

30-year-old Jane Nwangi was walking home from a church service on the evening of May 28, 2015, when she was attacked by a thug. The experience has turned her whole life upside down. Jane shares her story with The Star, Kenya:
"I live with my parents in Civil Servants Estate in Kariobangi South. The area is not very safe and has seen many incidents of mugging and shooting. It was worsened by upcoming constructions where gangs would hide and attack people walking by.

I had just alighted from a matatu and was walking home at about 7.30pm. I was talking to a friend as we headed to my gate. Out of the darkness, a young, bearded man stood in front of us, blocking our way. He looked nervous, but demanded for our valuables.
 
I gave him what I had in my hands: a Huawei mobile phone. He quickly went to the M-pesa app and started fidgeting with it. With him distracted, my friend managed to get away, leaving me at the mercy of the thug.  He demanded for my PIN to access the cash. Too frightened to think straight, I mumbled some numbers. He put the pin and when he could not access the money, whipped out a gun and in a split second, fired it through my chest.  Everything happened so fast. The pain was unbearable and I started losing consciousness. I could not scream as loud but kept begging him to spare my life. He ran off into the darkness.
 
The bullet hit my right shoulder and went through my back. It was trapped by my sweater where it hang until the doctors saw it.  I fell on my back. I could hear sounds far away but did not make much sense of them. I was repeating the Mpesa pin as if the assailant was still there.  The gunshot reverberated through my neighbourhood, attracting attention. The first person to respond was my immediate neighbour. I could hear her desperation as she exclaimed, "They shot Jane!" She started shouting for help.  My parents came very fast, and got me to a nearby hospital which referred me to Kenyatta National Hospital.
 
However, it was at Coptic Hospital where I was admitted the same night. The doctors worked hard and fast to control the bleeding. The next day, I went through hours of surgery. The doctors informed me that the bullet missed my spine by only a millimetre. It however destroyed nerves in the area, leaving my whole body without feeling.  I was coming to terms with the events of the previous night when the surgeons came to my bed side.
 
They told me as calmly as they could, that I may never walk again, since the bullet grazed nerves on my thoracic spinal cord area.  I could not feel the lower section of my body, so I could as well assume I won't walk for a while. But never walk again? The news left me dumbfounded.  
 
I would undergo painful physiotherapy sessions every day at the hospital. But I was determined to get my whole life back. After some weeks of treatment, I was discharged.  I have no control of my bowels so I use a catheter. My mother has to clean me up as well as do everything else for me. Everything. Would you imagine being washed by your mom at 30 years?
 
I also needed a special orthopaedic mattress that cost Sh80,000. A good Samaritan offered the mattress for free.  I could not turn myself in bed, or even sit up without assistance. This left me with bed sores, some so severe that I have been in and out of hospital for treatment.  The life of loneliness, being bed ridden and house-bound, began.  Out of empathy, my friends raised funds to get me a wheelchair. I had to learn how to operate it to get me around.  
 
Having a catheter inserted in the body to pass urine is another whole world of learning. I am more prone to urinary tract infections now and must take medications to clear them. We were not prepared for this when I was discharged from hospital, and it has taken its toll on me.  When we sought a second opinion, the neurosurgeon said that it is possible for me to walk again. He had noticed some form of movement inside my legs' nerves. He then concluded that since my legs experience occasional spasms, it means the nerves are still capable of function. This meant I could walk again!  
That was the good news. However, the treatment was only available abroad, he said, because no Kenyan hospital has the ability to treat me beyond what I have received so far. My friends have taken to searching for a hospital that can offer rehabilitative treatment to help me.  We have been in communication with a hospital in Texas, USA. They have gone through my medical records and have responded.  They quoted a treatment regime that can help me regain control of my bowel movement, and get me off the catheter.  For that, I need at least Sh10 million ($100,000). That would be followed by more rehabilitative treatment to help me regain use of my lower body.
 
I have made it this far because of many well-wishers who have heard my story and sent in their Mpesa contributions. No matter the amount whether Sh50, Sh200, it has helped me through hospital stays, which have been very expensive.  So far, I have spent close to a million shillings. I have no medical insurance, and I am still unemployed.  It is the power of friendships that has paid my bills this far.
 
I need money to make it through the treatment, and my friends and former university colleagues both in Kenya and abroad are helping me.  I later learnt that my Huawei mobile phone, which was stolen that fateful night, was eventually sold on OLX. It was later returned to me, after being tracked by law enforcement.  
 
I cannot use it, because of the trauma it brings. To this day, I am yet to find out who the seller and buyer of the phone were.  

#Ministerialscreening: Senate screens Geoffrey Onyeama

Posted: 27 Oct 2015 06:55 AM PDT

The senate has screened Geoffrey Onyeama, a Cambridge University trained lawyer from Enugu state. Onyeama said the image of Nigeria is still largely very positive. He said Nigerians in the diaspora are doing the country proud and that Nigeria is literally and figuratively the giant of Africa.

As an intellectual property lawyer, he said more efforts have to be made to fight piracy and counterfeiting in Nollywood as well as in the health sector.

He promised to never engage in any corrupt practice no matter how much money is put before him. Onyeama said a concerted effort has to be made to reform Nigeria's justice system. He said the independence of the judiciary should not be negotiated.
