FFK apologizes for mentioning names of ex-girlfriends in his article

Ex-minister Femi Fani Kayode mentioned names of three former Igbo girlfriends in an article he wrote a few days back to prove he wasn't tribalistic and has nothing against the Igbos. People felt mentioning their names was disrespectful to the women. He has apologized. Find his statement below

'Chief Femi Fani-Kayode hereby expresses his deepest regrets for mentioning the names of three distinguished Nigerian ladies that he was once associated with in his last article titled ''A Word For Those Who Say I am A Tribalist''. He meant no harm by doing so and neither did he at any point make references to having had any sexual relations with any of these ladies when they were associated with him as is being suggested by some members of the public. He was simply trying to emphasise the fact that he has nothing against the igbo people and that his friendship with these three ladies in particular over the years provided some evidence of that.

RLG communications manufacturers of the Uhuru Tablet and co- sponsors of the ongoing Big Brother Africa “The Chase” have announced their intention to appoint one of the Big Brother housemates as its brand ambassador. The question on their mind however is which of the housemates most qualifies for this? As far as the communications outfit is concerned this has not been an easy question to answer as there have been divergent views leading to the organisation’s decision to bring the matter to the court of social media.

Video: Inmate jumps railing to avoid knife attack in Florida prison

Surveillance cameras captured the moment every door at a maximum-security jail wing in Florida swung open and released a flock of violent criminals, who ganged up and attacked another inmate with vicious homemade knives.

The inmate was forced to jump over a railing and fall one story to escape his assailants, who are believed to be members of a rival gang in the Miami neighborhood of Liberty City. (The shirtless guy is the one who was attacked) Continue reading.

Beyonce kills magazine cover sales

Beyonce keeps killing it. From having the highest selling celebrity fragrance in the world to now killing magazine cover sales, while Nicki Minaj is labeled magazine cover poison
wapdudes.blogspot.com
From Women's Wear Daily

Newsstand sales for the first half of the year declined by 10 percent, according to figures released last week. The numbers show that editors would be wise to stick by a few operating principles: sex sells, three celebrities are better than one and Beyoncé trumps everyone, even the First Lady of the United States.

Vogue styled Beyoncé looking so regal for its March cover, she outsold an exclusive interview in April with Michelle Obama, 355,397 to 293,798, a difference of about 60,000 copies, digital replicas included.

Nicki Minaj is indisputably newsstand poison. Appearing on the April cover of Elle and in Teen Vogue in June-July, she sold the second fewest number of copies for both.

On Monday, 12th of August 2013, the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi awarded pop artiste, Tillaman the ambassadorial title, Oyo State Youth Musical Ambassador, at the International Youth Day celebration organized by the Oyo State Agency for Youth Development.

Just FYI, Tillaman's dad is an Oba in the state. :-). See more pics from the event after the cut...

22 year old new mum, Stephanie Wilby (pictured above), is fighting the management of a leisure centre after she was asked to stop breastfeeding her four-month-old baby in a swimming pool. The staff told her breastfeeding in the pool was indecent exposure, unhygienic and similar to a swimmer urinating in the pool and would throw her out of the leisure centre if she refused to stop

"I would have still questioned their reasons but it would not have been as inappropriate. They made a real scene. They were saying me breastfeeding was indecent exposure. But I was covered more than most of the other swimmers. One staff member also said he would stop a man urinating in the pool and that is why they did not want me breastfeeding in the water. I should be allowed to breastfeed where I want. I felt humiliated and it was very distressing. I even asked about feeding at the side of the pool but they said that was not allowed and said I should go to the changing rooms or toilet. This was the worst possible customer service I have ever come across.'

She reported the case as abuse and now the city council is investigating to see if she has a case. I support the staff on this. A public swimming pool is not an appropriate place to breastfeed a child. What do you guys think?

Oby Ezekwesili wants Femi Fani Kayode taken in for making hate speeches

mbahemeka

Former minister of Education Mrs Oby Ezekwesili has asked relevant government agency to take in her former colleague, Femi Fani Kayode and stop him from writing further hateful speeches that can disintegrate Nigeria. See more of her Tweets after the cut and tell us if you agree with her...

Minister of finance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala said yesterday during the opening of the two-day meeting of Commissioners of Finance and Accountants-General of States, that the federal government can't meet the N92billion being demanded by ASUU.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said

“At present, ASUU wants the Federal Government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances, when the resources are not there, and when we are working to integrate past increases in pensions. We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people get paid but can do no work. Since I assumed office, the share of recurrent expenditure in our total budgets had increased astronomically. In fact, recurrent expenditure accounted for about 77.2 per cent of the federal budget and we are now working to re-balance this ratio.
The country is still suffering from the effect of the 2010 increase in salary. Do we want to get to a stage in this country that all the money we earn is used to pay salaries and allowances? If the demands of the university lecturers are met and we continue to pay them salaries and allowances, we will not be able to provide infrastructure in the universities.”

So what does this mean? Students will continue to stay at home?

Nollywood actor Benson Okonkwo set to wed

For those who don't know Benson, the easiest way to remember him is this; he was one of the actors who played a gay role in Nollywood's first soft porn gay movie - Pregnant Hawker. Find it HERE. Benson has since said he's not gay and has actually been in a long term relationship with the woman he's planning to marry. Benson and Emelda Emells (pictured above) have been dating for over 8 years and have picked a December wedding date.

Benson recently told Vanguard that despite playing a gay role and playing well, he is not gay!

"I am not bi-sexual, neither am I homosexual. I have dated my girl for close to eight years now. So far so good. I plan to take her to the altar someday. Besides I am from a Christian home. I wasn't taught a habit like that by my family. And looking for money can not push me to do that

Press release from the Lagos State Government

The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to a misleading claim by a businessman, Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu that his Ikoyi home has been sealed off following a threat to sue the Lagos State Government over an unrelated matter.

We wish to state, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is that Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu’s property in Park View Estate, Ikoyi was distrained pursuant to Section 40 of the Revenue Administration Law of Lagos State for failure to pay the statutory annual land use charge despite three separate notices delivered to the said property.

Topless as in...all her boobs + nipples on display. This lady has no limits. Find the pic after the cut...

From a female LIB reader

My fellow readers please help me because I'm so worried about this. I spent a night at a guy's house and the following morning I felt really funny all over, especially in my private area like someone who has had penetration. He's someone I met two weeks ago and was planning to date but told him I wasn't ready for sex yet. I've been having this uneasy feeling since the morning I left his house that he took advantage of me during the night without my knowledge. I keep having these images in my head. I know he gave me a lot of alcohol the previous night and he told me later he carried me to bed, though I woke up in the same clothes. I asked him if anything happened between us that night and he said no, but I'm not convinced.

This is such a serious issue. You can only sleep through rape if you were drugged, right? Is it not best for her to go to a doctor, do a test and find out if there are drugs in her system that shouldn't be there?

Afe Babalola University students deplore increase in their school fees

I've been getting quite a number of emails from students of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state bemoaning the recent increase in their school fees. According to the students, the school outrageously increased their fees for the 2013/2014 academic session by over 40%. The students got a notice yesterday Monday August 12th informing them of the increase which they say is 'unfair'. For instance Engineering and Law students paid N695,000 last semester but the new fee for this semester is N1,095,000, N695,000 for social and management college and sciences, N1, 200 000 for medicine students, some fees went from N755,000 to N 1,245,000 and so on.

Some students are saying no reduction, no resumption. Below is a broadcast that was sent out

Please let us not go back to school until they reduce the school fees!! Pass this on people..let us protect our parents. If you are not from ABUAD, please pass it on. 49% increase on the school fees is not a joking matter!!

Meanwhile, some students have reached out to the media asking us to appeal to the owner of the school, renowned lawyer, Afe Babalola to please reduce the fees for them. Dear Mr Babalola, please listen to the cry of your students. #messagepassed! :-)

In his verse in Big Sean's new single 'Control', Lamar not all dissed fellow rappers like Drake, Wale, J. Cole and A$AP Rocky, he also declared himself the king of New York. Kendrick spits:

I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists.
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable. Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures
Your Instagram can gobble these nuts

Ex-minister Femi Fani Kayode claims he dated Bianca Onoh Ojukwu

He dated Bianca? When? Before or after the late Odimegwu Ojukwu? #justasking.

Oh and he's written a few of articles about the Igbos and the Yorubas that I am sure some of you have read elsewhere. I deliberately didn't bring it here because, well, we shouldn't be focusing on tribe and writing long articles on it. We should focus instead on things that will move Nigeria forward.

Back to the matter, when did the long standing, intimate and beautiful relationship take place?
