JK Rowling hits back at twitter trolls with Chamillionaire lines Posted: 19 Feb 2016 01:32 PM PST Trolls should learn to leave billionaire British author JK Rowling alone, she seems to have the perfect response almost every time. One man called her a 'radge' with 'obscene wealth' and what did she do? Sulk and moan about online trolls? Not JK Rowling. She borrowed a line from Chammilionaire's hit song swapping 'rollin' for 'Rowlin'. The troll wrote: "She uses her obscene wealth & lawyer droids to threaten & bully. Tell the radge to bolt", Rowling replied: "They see me Rowlin' they hatin'". The rapper whose real name is Hakeem Seriki applauded her effort, she responded with emojis and twitter went agog. | ||||

Jealous lioness attacks her partner after catching him flirting with another lioness (photos) Posted: 19 Feb 2016 12:44 PM PST 61-year-old Leon Botha who was on holiday in Botswana was lucky to capture a remarkable sight. A lioness knocking her male partner to the ground in a jealous fit after she caught another lioness snooping around him. Leon was taking photographs at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park when a lion and a lioness came in for a drink. The lioness walked ahead of her partner while he lagged behind. As if seeing her chance, a second lioness sidled up to the male lion while he waited for his partner to return. Not in the mood to share her man's affections, the first lioness rushed threateningly towards the pair, the lion in a bid to prevent what he saw as an inevitable fight between the lionesses tried to block her off but she was having none of it, she had been slighted and someone had to pay so she took it out on the lion himself. She battered him and knocked him to the ground at which point he submitted to her aggression. That'll teach him. Lol. | ||||

'A man has to “Test out the car first!' Tyrese explains why he won't marry a celibate woman Posted: 19 Feb 2016 08:40 AM PST The 37 year old singer and actor says that he can't marry a woman until he knows what he's getting in the bedroom. He revealed this on "The Doctors" recently when the subject of waiting for marriage before sex came up. Tyrese slammed the ideology and claims it just can't work in a society of high divorce rates: "It's enough people getting married and filing for divorce. There's enough people out here saying, 'I'm a born again virgin. I've had sex before, but I'm just going to hold back." "I don't know, I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm not going to have sex, I'm not going to touch you because it's biblical. "However, I would say, I'm not willing to potentially marry bad sex. If I have one car to test drive, you gotta jump in and do a couple turns. Put in reverse, back up. I'm not marrying bad sex!" "I believe that God's correction is for your protection. He's not saying don't have s*x so he can hold something from you. There are STDs out there. And think about it. If you're a woman, would you give a man a key to your apartment on the first date? | ||||

Nairobi on alert after 6 lions escape from National Park, one caught, 5 still missing Posted: 19 Feb 2016 08:28 AM PST The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is looking for about six lions on the loose from the Nairobi National Park. The lions are believed to have escaped to Lang'ata, which is adjacent to the park today. KWS Corporate Communications Officer Paul Udoto said they were not certain of the number of the lions. "The lions were part of the wild population and we are depending on the public to report if they sight them," he said. The wildlife service has advised any person who spots the lions to call KWS. Mr Udoto said the KWS was aware that a lioness had cubbed on the border of Lang'ata Barracks and the park and was monitoring the situation. "However, this morning we were called at 4am and told that some two lionesses, we believe, including the new mother, had been seen on the road near Lang'ata Hospital. We responded immediately. But we have not been able to track them down," he explained. He said another call was made by a member of the public at around 5am claiming to have come across the lions at the bypass near the National Housing Corporation in Lang'ata. "We are still combing through this area," | ||||
Sunday Oliseh tells Mikel Obi: Play defensive midfield for Super Eagles or drop to the bench Posted: 19 Feb 2016 08:23 AM PST Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has warned John Mikel Obi that he risks losing his Super Eagles playing spot if he refuses playing as a defensive midfielder for Nigeria. Mikel Obi has had a resurgence this season while playing as a defensive midfielder at Chelsea but opts to play offensive midfield when donning colours of the Super Eagles, a trend Oliseh wants to end. Defensive midfield was also the same role Mikel played when he broke out internationally under coach Samson Siasia at the 2005 FIFA U20 World Cup in the Netherlands. "With the national team, it's not what you want that matters, it is what will bring us results,"said Oliseh in a radio interview. "If you don't want to do that, I will play players who want to help us, like I did against Swaziland. My personal opinion is that he should be given a more central defensive role, like (Guus) Hiddink is using him. He should be the umbrella for the two central defenders," Oliseh said. | ||||
