LAGOS DEPORTATION?? Destitiute picked up at Marina Lagos this morning


People observed this vehicle picking up destitute at Marina Lagos around 6:30 this morning. Office of youth and social development was written on the KIA Motors truck that carried away the homeless people seen loitering and sleeping in the area. Wonder where they are taking these ones too since Gov Peter Obi of Anambra is quarreling with Gov Fashola for allegedly dumping over seventy homeless people in Onitsha last week.

Governor Fashola has since said only 14 destitute were repatriated from the state and not the 70 people widely reported. The governor said the homeless people said they were from Anambra state and needed assistance to go back home, so they took them to Onitsha.

"I am a victim of child molestation" - Eva Alordiah


 

Eva Alodiah in a radio interview with Hotfm Abuja Breakfast show with Cheezy Charles and Tutu, confessed she’s a victim of child molestation when responding to question on why she hasn’t spoken publicly about the #ChildNotbride issue. 

Eva said: ‘We are such a country that is so blessed by God. We don’t have earthquake, volcanoes, tsunami. We are problems to ourselves and this is disgusting. I come from a background where I was molested as a child. Definitely it’s a serious situation where you have to put a child through that type of trauma’.

Kerry Washington leads Vanity Fair’s Best-Dressed List

Vanity Fair have crowned Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington this year's best dressed in a list that sees the Duchess of Cambridge at number three but Michelle Obama nowhere in sight.

She's a relative newcomer in the red carpet stakes, but that hasn't stopped American actress Kerry Washington from scooping the top spot on Vanity Fair 's prestigious annual best-dressed list.

Though the 36-year-old has been on the Hollywood scene for years, it was her recent role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained that brought her to our attention in late 2012. The red carpet whirlwind that pre-empted the film's release saw Washington wear designers like Peter Pilotto, Miu Miu, Giles, Louis Vuitton and Marchesa with aplomb and subsequently lead us to crown her January's best dressed . Great minds.

The 39 other names that make up the list are a mixture of Hollywood, royalty, fashion industry, musicians, sportsmen and society. Surprisingly there's only one member with a political affiliation - Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. That's right, Michelle Obama is conspicuous by her absence. :D

The Trial Of Three Lebanese Nationals Facing 24 Counts Of Terrorism, Money Laundering Begins

The Federal Government, Monday commenced the trial of three Lebanese nationals charged with six charges of terrorism-related offences at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The prosecutors also filed fresh charges, sixteen counts of money-laundering and illegal importation of goods, among other crimes, against the accused persons. They pleaded not guilty. The prosecution called three witnesses, who were mainly officials of the Department of State Security Service (DSS), to testify in the case.

The foreign nationals – Mustapha Fawaz (49), Abdallah Thahini (48) and Talal Ahmad Roda (51) – were charged along with their companies – Amigo Supermarket and Wonderland Amusement Park Resort.

Among the new charges filed against them, that they conspired and engaged in unlawful importation of prohibited firearms between 1988 and 2008 in Kano.

The prosecution witnesses, who was hooded for security reasons, told the court how they investigated the case and recovered arms and ammunition from the accused persons' premises.

The first witness identified as DSS1 told the court that he coordinated the investigation and that the accused made voluntary statements where they admitted being members of the militant group, Hezbollah – which has been labelled a terrorist organisation by the United States.

The second witness identified as DSS2, led the team that conducted searches on the Wonderland Park and Amigo Supermarket, where they recovered arms and ammunition.

He, however, stunned the court when, upon being asked to read the inventory of the items recovered from the two premises, (about 45 items) most of the items, except three, were not related to arms and ammunition.

They were common items such computer accessories, SIM cards, travelling documents, camera, and identity card, among others.

The third witness identified as DSS3, told the court how one of the accused persons, Thahini, was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano with $61,170 while allegedly trying to leave the country.

The trial resumes at noon today (Tuesday), to enable the prosecution file and serve the defence copies of written statements of its remaining five witnesses.

Boxing champ Laila Ali calls North West a Stupid Name

Kim and Kanye won't like this, but Mohammed Ali's daughter says she don't cur! Laila isn't a fan of the crazy baby name trend and calls out Kanye West for naming his daughter North...

Laila tells Hip Hollywood,

"I don't like crazy names. I think it doesn't make any sense. And you have to think about the child as they get older and what they have to deal with. A lot of people do things because it's a fad and they want to get some attention but this is your child…if it's crazy but cool and nice and it makes sense, that's one thing, but North and South and Leaf and Water Drop? Come on now, I don't care who you are that's just stupid, period."

I totally agree!

Remember The Video of The Man attempting Murder With The Mace?... Embattled lawmaker Chidi Lloyd remanded in police custody

He is a suspect for attempted murder in my opinion (if you have watched the video of the lawmaker trying to beat his colleague to death with the House's Mace, you will know what I'm talking about) but when you look at him now, limping and being assisted to walk, you feel sorry for him ...but then again you remember the video and how he battered a colleague with a mace.

The majority leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly was in a high court yesterday, facing charges of conspiracy, wilful damage, and attempted murder, but his arraignment was stalled because the Attorney General of the state wants to take over the case.

Chidi Lloyd will remain in police custody until August 6, 2013.
