Signing a recording deal on 27thOctober 2015 at the headquarters of Right Entertainment in Lekki, young talent Lawal Damilola Rotimi known as BLAQMAN was all smiles as he penned a deal that would see him flying the colours of the label henceforth. The Kogi State born velvet-voiced act was one of the over a thousand entrants who sent in their content for consideration and his unique voice stood him out as he emerged tops. So they kept true to their words and one can say officially that Blaqman is part of Right Entertainment Record Label. Expect his debut single dropping anytime soon.

Photos: Man admits to the manslaughter of a Nigerian in London

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 12:34 PM PDT

On Tuesday October 28, Evan Edwards (left) pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Babafemi Junaid, 22, (right) following a retrial at the Old Bailey.

Police were called at around 17:40hrs on Friday, 7 February 2014 to reports of a man stabbed. Upon arrival they found Babafemi suffering from a stab wound to the chest. He was taken by London Ambulance Service to hospital but he later died that evening. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a single stab wound to the heart.
 
Babafemi became the inadvertent focus of an attack by a group after a disturbance on a 155 bus spilled out onto the street. 
 
He was not on the bus but was waiting at the bus stop when the disturbance spilled out onto the pavement at Stockwell station. As he attempted to get away from the fracas he was targeted, chased and attacked by the group.
 
During the attack one of the attackers was witnessed waving a knife, Babafemi fell to the ground. He managed to run to his car which was a short distance away but, as a result of his injuries, crashed his car into the back of a bus soon after. 
 
The same group that initially attacked him then set upon him again opening three of its doors to kick and punch him until bystanders came over to intervene. 
 
Babefemi's attackers then fled the scene.
 
Detectives launched a murder investigation and which resulted in a number of people getting arrested including Edwards who was arrested on Thursday, 13 February 2014 at his place of work.
 
"This was a horrific incident which culminated in a violent disturbance on a bus and sadly led to a young man losing his life. I hope today's guilty plea goes some way to helping Babafemi's family move on from what has been an extremely distressing experience." Detective Inspector David Reid of Homicide and Major Crime Command, said

Edwards will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, 24 November for manslaughter and violent disorder.

Danny Beardmore suffered a fractured cheekbone, eye socket and a broken nose after he became involved in an argument. The 19-year-old was out with his girlfriend when he became involved in an altercation with some men and was assaulted close to the Cross Axes pub, in Great Harwood.



His mother Louise Beardmore 38, said "They had a bit of an altercation with some people and it made it's way round to the centre of Harwood. They came home about 3.30am and they were both in shock. I looked at him and knew straight away I had to phone the ambulance and police. It was horrible. It was like he had been shot in the face. He is a young lad and said he had a bit to drink but he didn't really know how bad his injuries were.

"He had his head over the sink and he was bleeding everywhere. He doesn't remember getting hit more than once but he must have been, looking at the injuries. He doesn't know if he was knocked out for a few seconds. He's going to be off work for at least a month."

Louise said they have been overwhelmed by the response on social media after pictures of Danny's injuries were posted.

The offender is described as white male, around 22 years old and 6ft tall with 'longish ginger hair and a ginger beard'.

Pastor disowns daughter for doing pole dance in a music video?

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 09:54 AM PDT

This is a sponsored post. Read below....
As gathered on the Internet, an African pastor is alleged to have renounced his daughter for appearing as a pole dancer in a recently released musical video. The disturbing news generated little heat and drawn contributions from diverse perspectives across the social media and basically on the video's YouTube page.

However, while few had supported the pastor's move, to some people, spinning on the pole is just an ART and not a sin. The lady according to many only exhibited an art.
The controversial musical video was released over the weekend as the official visual to the street hop song "BOLAJI".
Watch the video below and share your thoughts and also see some interesting comments from the YouTube and Instagram after the video.

Video shows woman pretending to be drunk in broad daylight to see how men react... and what they do will shock you

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 09:33 AM PDT

The clip shows the scantily-clad actress drinking beer at 5.30pm in the buzzing city of Madrid, Spain. A steady stream of men begin approaching her, but rather than offering to help her, they suggest drinking more alcohol and some attempt to get intimate with her. 

One man, top left, suggests they return to his hotel and drink more beer. Another group of men, move in on the woman and heckle her, one man wraps his arms intimately around her, and another, asks if it's the first time she has drunk before suggesting they go and sit in a stairwell. Perhaps the most shocking moment comes when a man spots the woman waiting alone. After asking her name and calling her 'beautiful', he leads her down a quiet alleyway and pins her against the wall and attempts to kiss her several times. See the photos after the cut...




One of her colleagues has to intervene and break up the couple but the man claims he knows her and isn't keen to let her go. Her colleague manages to free the woman from the man's grip and leads her to safety. He can be heard in the microphone saying: 'Don't let anyone touch you.' 

The next man that approaches asks her: 'Is this the first time you have gotten drunk?', to which she answers: 'I never drink.' 
The man then suggests the pair go and sit in a stairwell - because if she doesn't sit, he claims she will fall over.

He then links arms with her and attempts to lead her away saying: 'Come on, give me your hand', before she manages to break free. 
The next duo to spot the woman, approach her, and suggest drinking more alcohol.

They also tell her she can charge her phone at their hotel and then invite her friends to join the party. 'Afterwards, we will call your friends and introduce them to me,' says one man, before calling the woman 'beautiful.' 
Another passer by puts his arm around the woman and asks her if she is married. When she tells the man: 'I don't know where I am', he replies: 'I have an iPhone charger at the hotel.' 

Despite the woman falling into him and telling him she 'feels bad' and 'can't walk', he goes on to state he is buying more beer for her. 
'Even more beer? Do you think I can drink more?', she asks. 'Yes,' he replies as he takes her hand and assures her that he will drink with her.  


The director of the video returns to the screen at the end of the video and concludes: 'Most of you are probably surprised and some of you also disgusted and maybe you are thinking that we have avoided some scenes favouring the most "juicy" parts, but I am afraid to deceive you. 

'It really was the opposite. Those situations full of rudeness and physical abuse were taken away because there is no need to show it in such depth. 
'The most disappointing fact is that we had no need to edit the video. Why? Because nobody got close to helping this drunken woman.'

Living in Bondage reloaded! Ramsey Nouah& Charles Okpaleke join forces to remake Nollywood classic

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 09:08 AM PDT

23 years after the release of Nollywood sensation, Living in Bondage, Nigeria's perceived first hit movie is coming back with a bang! Entertainment/business mogul Charles Okpalekeof Play Entertainment Network, and award-winning Nollywood star, Ramsey Nouah, are collaborating to remake Kenneth Nnebue's 1992 classic.

The rights to the movie have been purchased by the duo, and production is set to kick off in 2016.



Speaking on the project, Ramsey says, "There is no way you will mention Nollywood without talking about Living in Bondage. It was the kick-starter for the industry I work in today. Its ability to appeal to everyone irrespective of their religious, cultural and social beliefs made it a huge success. It addressed issues that we couldn't talk about then. Its beauty lies in the language used which is understood by a certain part of the country, yet was watched by many. So why not bring back this great movie in our contemporary world."

LIB is a delight any day. People will still talk about the way Kenneth Okonkwokilled his wife for money rituals and how he was tormented. Don't forget the likes of Kanayo O. Kanayo and Bob Manuel Udokwu who intrigued us with their roles. All these made the movie a great hit and we are sure that the sequel will do better."

Charles is also super-excited about the movie. "It's not often that we visit our roots and bring our past back to life. Living in Bondage may have its flaws then due to the fact that the industry was still growing. However,  bringing those characters back to our present situation will be really interesting and I'm sure it will spark public discourse that will perhaps engineer growth and development in the industry."

'I'm not back with him': Khloe breaks her silence over Lamar Odom reconciliation rumours

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 08:44 AM PDT

In an interview with People magazine, Khloe Kardashian spoke out for the first time about her rumoured reconciliation with estranged husband, Lamar Odom, following his hospitalization after a  drug binge at a brothel in Nevada.

Khloe said she is not getting back with Lamar yet despite holding off on divorce proceedings. She said she only did it in order to be able to make medical decisions for him while in a life-threatening condition. She said;


"I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it. 'For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it's just smarter that it's put on hold. But that does not mean I'm back with Lamar. It's not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship. Only time will tell.
"'I loved him always, and I will always love him. I don't believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don't have to be with that person in order to love him.'

We will vigorously pursue the recovery of stolen funds- Buhari

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 08:31 AM PDT

President Buhari says his administration will vigorously pursue stolen funds so as to deter others from coming into government for personal gains. Addressing members of the Nigerian community in India today October 28th, Buhari said the recovery of stolen funds and prosecution of persons who have been indicted for corrupt practices will continue to be vigorously pursued so that it will serve as a deterrent to others who nurse the ambition of seeking public office solely for illegal personal gain.


"The anti-corruption campaign will be on-going for many years. We are committed to the enthronement of good governance that plugs the loopholes in public sector accounting, and the use of scarce resources for public good. We are determined to demonstrate exemplary leadership that will make our citizens to change their ways in a manner that lays a solid foundation for reconstruction and development. I am confident that our approach to fighting corruption through value re-orientation, improved internal processes and systems and the rule of law, as well as enhancing the capacity of the various anti-corruption agencies and institutions will prove more enduring in addressing this evil. In the meantime, we will continue to prosecute those who have been indicted for corrupt practices and ensure that stolen funds are recovered, to serve as deterrence to others who nurse the ambition of seeking public office solely for illegal personal gain,"he said.
He told the Nigerian community that he is fully aware of the expectations of Nigerians who elected him on the platform of change, integrity, probity and accountability, and was therefore doing his utmost best to meet those expectations.
"I wish to assure you that we shall do our best to fix the economy, create jobs for the teeming population of our youths and make the home environment safe, secure and more attractive to Nigerians outside the country like your good selves. On the economy, our aim is to address the challenge of infrastructure in all its ramifications, especially power and transportation. We are seeking to create jobs through agriculture, mining, industrial value-addition and the promotion of small scale enterprises. We are also taking steps to address criminality across the country. We are tackling the menace of terrorism posed by Boko Haram head on and I am pleased to note that though sporadic attacks on soft targets have not stopped, the over-all capacity of Boko Haram to hold territory and determine the course of the conflict has been severely degraded. If the current positive trends are maintained, we are confident that by the end of this year, we would have succeeded in permanently turning the tide against the Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria," he said.

Flogging of jailed Saudi blogger who nearly died from his first round of lashes for insulting Islam will resume soon

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 08:11 AM PDT

The Saudi government is planning to resume the flogging of a blogger who they said insulted Islam. The blogger, Raif Badawi nearly died when he was flogged the last time. Raif, who is in prison, was sentenced to 1,000 lashes & 10 years in prison for insulting Islam in a post he shared on social media.

His wife, Ensaf Haidar, who lives in Canada, told reporters yesterday that the Saudi authority was planning to resume the flogging soon at the prison where he is being held. She said Raif is in 'a poor condition', and was suffering from high blood pressure and was mentally very stressed. 
 


In a letter to a magazine after his first 50 lashes, and since being jailed, Badawi (pictured above) said: 'All this cruel suffering happened to me only because I expressed my opinion.'


Badawi, a father of three (pictured with his children) co-founded the Saudi Liberal Network. He was arrested in June 2012 under cybercrime provisions and a judge ordered the website shut after it criticised Saudi Arabia's religious police.

The network had also announced a 'day of liberalism' and called for an end to the influence of religion on public life.
