Wedding in India descends into farce after groom's first wife storms the venue and beats him up (photos)

Wednesday, 8 March 2017


 Vishal Kumar Sonu, a 42yr old Indian groom was happily tying the knot with his new wife when his first wife identified as Rakhi, barged into the venue and set upon him like a tornado. She vehemently opposed the wedding saying the man who is father to her 13yr old son could not marry the woman 18 years his junior because they were still legally married after getting hitched 14 years ago.
Things were going smoothly for the groom on the traditional wedding day when his first wife decided to make a dramatic entrance. As she argued with him, the groom said he did not know her, which prompted the angry woman and her family to start assaulting him.

He said that he had divorced his first wife and that he had the papers to prove it, but as he tried to run away, the relatives chased him and the bride. Things got so bad, the owner of the restaurant where the wedding was being held called the police and both parties were taken to the station. 
 According to Rakhi's brother, Pawan Kumar, his sister was married to the groom for 14 years and the union produced a teenage son but she moved in with her parents when the relationship deteriorated. Kumar also accused Sonu of being unemployed and physically abusing his sister over money.
He said:
'We took Rakhi back to our home and set a condition before Sonu that they will send her back only after he will start earning. Sonu agreed to this and used to visit Rakhi often. We never expected that he will solemnise a second marriage. We came to know about his marriage two days ago, when someone showed us the wedding invitation.'
Sonu on his part said they were only married for seven years before they divorced and he claims he has the documents to prove it. A report has been filed and the court will decide if further action needs to be taken.

Arsenal 1-5 Bayern Munich (Agg: 2-10): 10-man Gunners crash out of Champions League


Theo Walcott opened the scoring at the Emirates, but Laurent Koscielny saw red before the floodgates opened on another tough night for Arsene Wenger
Bayern Munich inflicted another 5-1 defeat on Arsenal in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie to send the Gunners crashing out of Europe 10-2 on aggregate.
Things had started brightly for Arsene Wenger’s side, after a pre-game protest against his tenure, with Theo Walcott opening the scoring inside 20 minutes.
The tide turned, though, after Laurent Koscielny saw red for bringing down Robert Lewandowski inside the box early in the second half.
The Polish striker dusted himself down to convert from the spot and the floodgates opened.
Former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben returned to haunt Arsenal once more, before Douglas Costa and a brace from Arturo Vidal compounded the misery for Wenger and his beleaguered troops.

Tevin Campbell is not here for Usher saying 'Can We Talk' was originally his song

Tuesday, 7 March 2017


Tevin Campbell's 'Can We Talk' is one of the most Iconic R&B songs of all time. And when Usher reportedly said in an interview that the song was originally supposed to be his, Tevin shared the IG post on his IG page and wrote "Alrighty then". Continue to read exactly what Usher said...



Speaking on his career regret, Usher said;
"...when I first signed to LaFace Records, I wanted to do an album with Babyface and LA Reid, right? I signed specifically for that reason. So LA Reid wanted Babyface to work on me and they were going through, you know, a lot of drama at the time. They were kinda severing their ties…he got mad…And he built an entire album for me, and he gave the whole album to somebody else…Tevin Campbell! ‘Can We Talk’…was my song…
 He also said he regrets not working with the early Chris Brown;
“So there’s one thing in my career that I definitely regret, one thing. And to this day I battle with it which is why I always show support of this artist whenever he asks…So his manager comes in…They show him to me…I was working on an album at this time, they wanted him to perform on this album…I was like okay cool…Then I went to my team and they was like ‘I don’t think you should work with this artist’…Then he left…Chris Brown.”

Ben Carson sparks outrage after referring to slaves as 'immigrants'

Tuesday, 7 March 2017


Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson provoked a firestorm on Monday after he described slaves brought from Africa as "immigrants" who dreamed of success for their families in the United States.

Carson, who is African-American, made the stunning remarks during an address to employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in Washington.


"That's what America is about: a land of dreams and opportunity," said Carson, a retired neurosurgeon said after describing photographs of poor immigrants displayed at the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration. 
"There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less," he said. "But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."

The comparison provoked an instantaneous backlash online and quickly drew the ire of social media users. Comedian and actress Whoopi Goldberg suggested Carson watch the 1980s mini-series "Roots."
"Ben Carson...please read or watch Roots, most immigrants come here VOLUNTARILY, cant really say the same about the slaves...they were stolen. "Immigrants???" tweeted the NAACP, the nation's largest civil rights organisation aimed at ending racial discrimination.

The remarks were condemned as "tragic, shocking and unacceptable" by the US office of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, a social justice group named after the Jewish girl whose diary, written before she was killed in the Holocaust, became a globally respected account of discrimination and hope.
"No, Secretary Carson. Slaves didn't immigrate to America," the group's executive director Steven Goldstein wrote. "This is as offensive a remark as it gets."
A spokesperson for HUD department pushed back, saying on Twitter that the flurry of US media reports on Carson was "the most cynical interpretation" of his remarks.
"No one honestly believes he equates voluntary immigration with involuntary servitude," the department added.
It was not the first such controversy for Carson, a former Trump rival for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 and someone who routinely blasts political correctness.

He once said Joseph, the Biblical figure, built Egypt's pyramids in order to store grain, and not as tombs for the pharaohs.

In 2013, he blasted the health care reforms of Trump's presidential predecessor Barack Obama as "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."

'As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further enquiries.'

'Being different means you make the difference'- Justin Timberlake

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

US singer, Justin Timberlake said this when he spoke at the  iHeartRadio Music Awards where he bagged the Song of the Year award for his song, 'Cant stop the feel'. He said:

"I wrote this song because I wanted it to be about inclusion, about being together. If you are black or you are brown or you are gay or you are lesbian or you are trans — or maybe you’re just a sissy singing boy from Tennessee. Anyone that is treating you unkindly, it is only because they are afraid or they have been taught to be afraid of how important you are because being different means you make the difference. So f— ’em.”he said.

Those bent on destabilising Nigeria or agitating for its separation will wait for another four millennia- Buratai says

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

Chief of Army Staff, Lt Col. Tukur Buratai, says any individual or group of persons bent on destabilising the country or agitation for its separation would have to wait for another four millenia to do so as he nor the crop of military officers Nigeria has would allow such to happen.

Buratai said this when he received the “Millennium Hero’’ award conferred on him by a coalition of over 80 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) at the Army Headquarters, Abuja.
“Those individuals and groups that are bent on destablising our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennium for them to do that. That is if may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all. Having been given the Millennium Hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for separation and other acts of distabilisation, they better forget it, not in this era, not in this millennium’’he said

Lily Collins pens open letter to her music legend father, Phil Collins, in which she forgives him for not always being there

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

Hollywood actress, Lily Collins, 27, has written a letter to her father, Phil Collins, to let him know that he is forgiven for not being the father she expected. Lily published the letter in her debut book which was released today; Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me.
"I forgive you for not always being there when I needed you and for not being the dad I expected," she wrote. "I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it’s too late, it’s not. There’s still so much time to move forward."
Lily is the only child Phil had with his second wife Jill Tavelman. In all, Phil had five children from three wives. When Lily was five, Phil ended his marriage to her mother via fax and left town. Lily rarely ever saw her father, except during holidays, thereby leading to a disconnection between them and anger on her part.

"I’m learning how to accept your actions and vocalise how they made me feel. I accept and honour the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn’t do, did or didn’t give me," Lily wrote.

She also opened up about battling anorexia and bulimia and links it to the stress caused by her father’s divorce from his third wife in 2008. She also revealed that her deepest insecurities stemmed from the issues she had with her dad.

"Not only did I start viewing myself differently physically, but I began limiting my happiness by controlling my eating habits." she wrote in her book. "I couldn’t handle the pain and confusion surrounding my dad’s divorce, and I was having a hard time balancing being a teenager with pursuing two different grown-up careers."

'Stop destroying your husband' - singer Felix Duke blasts Emeka Ike's ex-wife

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

In this piece titled 'Speaking for my good Friend' Felix Duke shares his thoughts on the recent feud between Nollywood actor,  Emeka Ike and wife saying, 'Please madam stop destroying your ex, it is not good for you and your children'.. Read his article below....

Its obvious that Emeka Ikes ex Wife wants to destroy Emeka. If not, she Would have listing to Emeka's plea. MY plea. Her own family members plea. Emekas family members plea. even the judges plea. All failed. Why? Because she and her sponsor have made up there mind to try to destroy Emeka Ike. 
How is  it that somebody you have 4 kids for, knelt down for you at the centre of the court room and you still did what you did? Well it is ok. You made up your mind to leave him, but why dont you then just leave this young man in peace? You have gotten the divorce. Why organize a press Conference? You dont have good advisers, if not you would have remembered that you have kids for this man. 
So how are you going to erase all the nonsense you and your sponsor put on the internet for your children not to see them in future? To my knowledge i am aware Emeka Ike sponsored you to university, even up to your Masters. I am aware that Emeka Ike too open a Joint account with you, which means he truly loves you. 
He doesn't control your spendings. I am also aware that Emeka Ike opened  a secondary school for you which you could not manage. Hmmm the white man says if you want to Kill a dog you give the dog a bad name. That is what you are trying to do to my good Friend Emeka Ike. 
All i will tell you is that you stop trying to destroy this man. You had your own short comings but he tolerated  you. Or you want to tell Nigerians that you are a perfect human being and you didn't have any fault in the marriage? Please madam stop destroying your ex, it is not good for you and your children. You only know today you dont know tomorrow because tomorrow is pregnant. 
 MY NAME IS FELIX DUKE 
POPULARLY KNOW AS MR GOODY GOODY 
I DON'T SUPPORT  BAD THINGS.

The car Notorious B.I.G. was killed in up for auction for $1.5 Million

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

The car in which the Notorious B.I.G. was fatally shot is reportedly up for auction. The owners of the green 1997 GMC Suburban have linked up with popular internet auction house, Moments in Time to sell the SUV.
According to the sellers, they purchased the truck seven months after Big’s death in Los Angeles in March 1997 from a broker. 
The ride has been refurbished, and it wasn’t until eight years later that they learned exactly what they had been pushing after they were contacted by LAPD detectives about using the truck as evidence.
'We have kept the car now for 20 years and finally decided it was time to sell it,' the owners wrote in a letter to Moments In Time. 
The Suburban is still in running condition and reportedly only has 114,000 miles on it. 'I have requested the LAPD return the original bullet-riddled door upon closure of the case,' they added. 
The asking price for the legendary ride is $1.5 million.

Former royal butler comes out as gay after divorcing his wife of 32 years and reveals Princess Diana was the only woman he ever told

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

Paul Burrell, 58, who was formerly Princess Diana's Butler has come out as gay and has revealed that he will marry his lawyer boyfriend, Graham Cooper, 58, just 9 months after divorcing his wife of 32 years, Maria, 62.

Burrell is a father to two grown sons, Alexander, 27, and Nicholas, 24, and they will both be present for their father's wedding holding next month in the Lake District.
A source close to Burrell revealed that the only person he ever told of his sexuality was the late Princess Diana whom he served for 10 years.
Burrell reportedly had a very close relationship with Diana and was her 'rock'. Old photos show both of them together at several times during the Royal's life, so it is understandable that she was the only one he felt comfortable to open up to about his sexuality. His sons only just found out recently. 
Burrell and Cooper live together, but the former butler turned florist has always stayed away from discussing his sexuality despite a 2002 expose where an Australian man claimed they had had a relationship before he married his wife Maria. Paul met Maria Burrell while they were both working at Buckingham Palace, with Maria serving as the Duke of Edinburgh's maid. They got married in 1984.
A source told The Sun; 'Paul's friends and family all know but for a long time he kept it a closely guarded secret. He did share it with Diana while he worked with her because they were so close. But at the time she was the only woman he felt he could tell."
Maria now lives in Florida while Burrell stays in Cheshire.

"I would sell more books in Nigeria if I say I 'm no longer a feminist" - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

Acclaimed Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie sat down for a chat with UK Guardian Emma Brockes, in Baltimore suburbs, where she lives with her Nigerian-American husband.

The 39-year-old opened up about her letter-turned book, Dear Ijeawele, which she wrote in order to reclaim the word Feminism from its abusers and misusers, to lay down in plain English her beliefs about child-raising, to debunk the idea that "feminism is hot'.


The 'brave and 'honest' young man, who during a writing workshop in Lagos last year, told her he 'wasn't sure of his love for her anymore since she started this "feminism and gay things" and of course, her 'fierce and strong-willed 15 months old daughter, who to her annoyance, looks much more like her husband.

Photos: Nigerian man acquitted twice of abuse and murder charges in the US may get $80k settlement

Tuesday, 7 March 2017

Clark County, Nevada commissioners are set to award an $80,000 settlement to a Nigerian man who risked losing his parental rights despite being acquitted of abuse and murder charges in the death of a 2-year-old boy, Las Vegas Review Journal reports on March 2nd.

Victor Fakoya, 49, was tried and acquitted twice for the death of Daniel Jaiyesimi, the son of family friends living with Fakoya, his wife and two daughters.
Fakoya was the only adult known to be home with the boy when he became unresponsive on Aug. 8, 2008. The exact cause of the boy’s death was not determined.


Fakoya, who was a political science professor in Nigeria, spent two years in the Clark County jail. His first trial ended in a hung jury, and the second ended with a jury acquitting him of all charges in December 2010.
But Fakoya was not allowed to return to his wife and two daughters because five days after his acquittal the District Attorney’s Office claimed in family court that Fakoya was a danger to his two daughters.

In May 2011 that a family court hearing master allowed Fakoya to move back into his Las Vegas home. First, Fakoya had to plead no contest to not calling 911 in a timely manner.
Fakoya filed a civil rights lawsuit against the county in federal court in late 2012, demanding $10 million in damages for keeping him separated from his family for five months after a jury found him not guilty.
“Victor’s dream of coming to America, furthering his education and providing a better lifestyle for his family has been shattered by the agencies entrusted with preserving the family unit and protecting the community,” his complaint stated.  
"This ordeal has financially destroyed the Fakoya family and left emotional scars that will never fully heal."
The lawsuit alleges that members of Child Protective Services tried to coerce Fakoya into admitting he caused the child's death and that the ordeal has left "emotional scars that will never fully heal."
County commissioners will consider approving the pretrial settlement during the consent agenda portion of their regular meeting on Tuesday morning, March 7th.
