Latest : Lindsay Lohan: I'm Voting for Mitt Romney

Lindsay Lohan should have enough issues to focus on in her life (like,
say, the blow up fight she had with her mom and subsequent fight she
had with her dad) but she has another on her mind: Unemployment.

The Liz & Dick star stepped out at tonight's Mr Pink's Ginseng Drink
event at the Regent Beverly Wilshire and announced that she's putting
her celebrity support behind Mitt Romney.

"I just think employment is really important right now," LiLo
explained when asked if she was keeping up with the election. "So, as
of now, Mitt Romney. As of now." Shocking? Perhaps.

But Lohan says "It's a long story." Also slightly shocking was the
freshly red locks Lindsay debuted on the pink carpet. "It's actually
the wrong color than it's supposed to be," she explained on what
inspired the change in color. "But it's the color of my natural hair
and it will get there."

Tragedy : RETIRED POLICE OFFICER SHOOTS AND KILLS HIS SON, AFTER MISTAKING HIM FOR A THIEF

A retired Chicago police officer has shot and killed his son, after
mistaking him for a burglar.

Michael Griffin, 48, died of a gunshot wound to the head at his
father's home in the northwest side of Chicago, CBS Local Chicago
reports.

It was a tragic case of mistaken identity for Michael's father,
Chicago Police Detective James Griffin, according to another son.

"My brother was staying there, and last I heard they were watching the
Jay Leno show and my dad fell asleep," Stephen Griffin told CBS Local
Chicago. According to police, Michael had apparently left the
apartment and returned through a back door.

"And I guess he assumed my brother was at home sleeping, and when
someone came in the back door, he just naturally assumed it was an
intruder," Stephen said of his father.

"At that time he didn't know who he shot," Griffin, 47, told the
Chicago Tribune. "Then he called me back and told me the bad news,"
said Griffin, whose mother died in 1999. "I'm just glad my mom wasn't
around to see this."

Griffin said his father, who is 77, was a police officer for more than
40 years, serving as a homicide detective and then retiring in 1998.

He told the Chicago newspaper that his father's senses "aren't as
sharp as they used to be," but that he is still healthy enough to play
in a local basketball league.

"He's in pretty good health except for some bumps and bruises from
playing basketball," Griffin told the Tribune. "I don't know if his
age had a lot to do with it."

This is the second incident in recent weeks in which a father shot and
killed a son, mistaking him for an intruder.

Last month, a Connecticut teacher shot and killed a young man wearing
a mask in his neighbor's yard — only to learn later the young man he
had killed was his son.

Chicago police have not filed any charges in the Griffin family
incident. They are investigating.

"I'm still freaking out about it," Griffin said about his father's
case to the Tribune. "I have two sons of my own, and I can't imagine
how he must feel."

Dino Melaye Is A Potential HIV Carrier, He Gave Me Syphilis-- Upcoming Actress Alleges

Dino Melaye

The 'dirty water' controversial former Kogi State federal lawmaker,
Dino Melaye may have found himself swimming in has taken a new turn.

If what we are now getting is anything to go by, then, more troubles
await the husband of Tokunbo Melaye. This is because the 'activist'
has now been dragged into another controversy, which may be messier
than the pregnancy mess he is in with beautiful Yoruba actress, Bisi
Ibidapo Obe.

According to what BON reported, an up and coming Yoruba actress has
accused the father of three of infecting her with a sexually
transmitted disease called Syphilis. She also alleged Dino to be a
potential carrier of the dreaded STD called HIV.

BON reported that a budding actress (name withheld) sent a mail to
them. A copy of the mail is presented below.
"My name is ——–, I am an upcoming actress and I have featured in over
20 Yoruba films mostly as waka about. Last year, I met one of the big
names in the industry who lives in Magodo and she became my friend and
we were relating on sister basis.

She was very nice to me and she even gave me a role in her movie
directed by Muyideen and shot in Omole Estate. On my birthday last
year (2011), she (the big actress) used my picture on her bb
(BlackBerry) and Hon.

Dino saw it and begged that she hooked us up. She did but told me
plain that she was not asking me to date him that the choice was mine.
Hon Dino started wooing me, he will call for long hours and he changed
my phone and at one instance gave me 250,000 to change my wardrobe.

I asked Hon. Melaye if he was married and he said he was seperated as
he caught his wife in bed with another man in his matrimonial home.

One thing about Dino is that he hates CD (condom) and the first time
we had sex, we argued for over 2hours as I said no to unprotected sex
but after some sweet talks, I agreed and we continue like that. It
didn't take long before I started feeling funny and when I told my
sister, who was a doctor, she ran some tests on me and told me I had
Syphilis.

I picked my phone and told Dino. This was the last time he picked my
calls and he deleted me from his bbm. If he denies this, I will send
you at least 3 of our hotel receipts bearing his name. I am out
because I know that there are more greedy girls like me and the rate
at which Dino is going, he is a potential HIV carrier.

Dino is very smooth and lies come to him easily. Editor, this letter
is unedited except the fact that we removed her name as agreed."

BAKASSI HANDOVER: EFIKS, SOUTHERN CAMEROON IN MOVES TO FORM OWN REPUBLIC

The Obong of Calabar and grand patriarch of Efik Kingdom, His Eminence
Ekpo Abasi Otu, has said that the Efik were considering the invitation
by the people of Southern Cameroon to form a republic as the Federal
Government had sold their ancestral land to Cameroon.

The Obong, at the solemn assembly organised by the Efik Kingdom and
the entire Bakassi people through the Save Bakassi Group, yesterday,
in Calabar, Cross River State, after the Federal Government refused to
file for a review of International Court of Justice, ICJ, verdict,
said the people were weighing the options available to them.

Meantime, Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, has, advised the
people of Bakassi to remain calm, saying that the government and the
elected representatives of the state were committed to the course and
will continue to pursue it until it was redressed.

Governor Imoke, who gave the assurance, when the royal fathers and the
people of Bakassi, led by the kingmakers of Efik Kingdom after a
solemn assembly, went on a protest march to the governor's office over
Federal Government's decision to hand over Bakassi to Cameroon, said
that the challenge of Bakassi remained with the people and that it was
a challenge that must be confronted.

He described October 10, 2012 as a very important day in the history
of the people adding that as the displaced people of Bakassi and the
Efik Kingdom decided to commit their challenge unto God with prayers,
God will look into their plights and console them.

The governor said that in time of seeming adversity, there will still
be something good, adding that the problem of Bakassi was a challenge
that had stayed for 10 years, which had gone international.

Coordinator of Save Bakassi Group, Mr. Maurice Ekong told Vanguard
that it was only the beginning of a long drawn battle for sovereignty
as the fate of Bakassi could not be foreclosed by the Attorney General
of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, who was not prepared to work on
the case and for Bakassi people.

He said: "We have a right to approach the United Nations with our case
as indigenous people, whose culture and history have come under threat
of extinction from Cameron.

"The denial of Bakassi people their Nigerian citizenship makes mockery
of Nigerian government's declaration of Citizen Diplomacy as a
cardinal plank of its foreign policy. A government has a
responsibility to defend its citizens and the people of Bakassi have
all these years seen themselves as Nigerians, but we have been
deceived on a grand scale."

Abasi Otu, who was represented on the occasion by Chairman of Etubom
Traditional Council, Etubom Bob Duke, said that they had to embrace
their fate after being deceived and rejected by the Federal Government
of Nigeria over the ceded oil-rich island, which they described as
their heritage and ancestral home.

Also speaking at the event attended by prominent Efik sons and
daughters in the country and in the diaspora, Chief Barbara James, who
had liaised with the wife of the former Prime Minister of Britain,
Mrs. Blair to get international lawyers and assemble materials to be
presented at the Hague for the review, which the country turned down,
said that already, they were taking the matter to the United Nations
and African Union to agitate for self determination as well as report
cases of human rights abuse.

Chief James said: "We shall rise from our shell that justice must
reign. We had lost Bakassi, we had lost 76 oil wells, this injustice
cannot continue. We are being advised by the wife of the former
British Prime minister, Mrs. Tony Blair. We are advised at the
international level.

"The Federal Government has to tell us why we were not protected.
Enough is enough. We prepared a 12-paragraph document, legal brief, a
very strong brief and evidence of human rights abuses to submit, but
we were told that if Nigeria appealed against the judgment, it would
not have good relationship with the international diplomatic corps.

"We have options, we are going to pursue these options at the United
Nations and African Union. We have international legal experts
advising us. This injustice will not stand."

Also speaking, former Senator representing Cross River South, Senator
Bassey Henshaw, recalled that when the Cameroon security agents were
killing and maiming Bakassi people, it was the late Gen. Sani Abacha
who went to repel the Cameroon soldiers to protect the people and
create Bakassi Local Government Area.

Nollywood Top Rated Actress, Ini Edo Loses Pregnancy?

According what Encomium magazine reported Nollywood actress, Ini Edo
has lost her pregnancy. Ini Edo's pregnancy has recently become a
controversial issue when pictures of
the talented actress taken at recent events she attends shows a 'table
flat' tummy.

This has made some people ask if she is still pregnant.At most events
Ini went to in recent times, she is pictured wearing a big belt around
her stomach area, which raised further eyebrows.

At the US launch of her fashion line and other events, she was so
spotted. Ini's pregnancy became more controversial when Mercy Johnson,
who was also reported to have been pregnant almost the same time with
Ini, flaunted her pregnancy recently.

An excerpt of what Encomium reported is presented below;
"Pretty actress, Ini Edo recently suffered a loss.

She lost the pregnancy she was carrying for hubby, Philip Ehiagwina.
The actress, a few months back, confirmed to an online magazine that
she was indeed on a nine month course and ignited the fury of fans who
felt she had first denied and then confirmed.

"According to insiders, the actress, who was spotted looking every
inch a super star (at the 32nd birthday party of Actress Stephanie
O-Linus), also spotted a table flat tummy. 'If she
has not lost the baby, she would be almost ready to bring it to bed by now.

Here is. wishing her all the best as she tries again.'
"On Monday, October 8, 2012, we contacted the actress on phone on the
issue and her personal assistant, Edward said, 'She is sleeping right
now. I don't know anything about her losing her pregnancy.

"Maybe when she wakes up she will talk to you about that. But I am not
aware of anything about such information.'"Thereafter, our repeated
calls were ignored by the actress, even the text message we sent was
not acknowledged.

"The text message read, 'we called earlier, but eddy said you were
asleep. There is a story here that you lost your pregnancy and we
would love to hear your response as we go to press now. Thanks."

MAN POISONS HIMSELF AFTER MISREADING INNOCENT MESSAGE ON GIRLFRIEND'S PHONE

A cagefighter killed himself with poison after misreading an innocent
message sent to his girlfriend, a coroner heard.

Christopher Forkin, 23, of Waterfoot, Lancashire, swallowed a deadly
amount of the substance after spotting the text on lover Paige
Nuttall's phone.

During a furious row with the 21-year old, he tipped over his sofa and
was pulling doors off their hinges telling her: 'You are just like the
rest of them.'

Miss Nuttall left his flat telling him to 'cool down' but when she
came back, she found him dying on the floor. The 23-year-old was taken
by ambulance to hospital but died later.

The details of what was in the text were not revealed at his inquest.

An inquest was told slaughterman Forkin, whose cage fights are posted
to YouTube, could have taken the substance from a farm he worked at
for several years.

He and Paige had been in a relationship for just one month after they
met on a night out in Rossendale, Lancs.


Tragedy struck in March while the lovers were drinking at his flat in
nearby Waterfoot.

In a statement read out at Burnley coroners court, Miss Nuttall said
father-of-two Forkin – had been 'mad' after reading the text messages
on her phone.

She said: 'I had left my phone lying around and he had seen some
innocent messages from a friend. He tipped the couch over and was
pulling the doors off the hinges.

'He was breaking things and crying but I managed to calm him down. He
said "you are just like the rest of them'. I told Chris that I was
going out for some fags and left him at the house".'


But after she left  Forkin drank a 'substantial amount' of the poison
which is used by farmers to kill vermin.

Describing the moment she found Forkin face-down on his stomach when
she returned, she said: 'When I left the house I realised that I had
no money, I went back to the flat to find Chris on the floor and I
said "what have you taken?".

'His fist was clenched and he was shaking and fitting. I put my finger
in his mouth so that he wouldn't swallow his tongue.

'I was hysterical and remember him saying "remember I love you".'

She called paramedics who took Forkin to Royal Blackburn Hospital were
he later died.

Fire crews from the hazardous materials unit in Burnley attended the
scene as a precautionary measure in case the property needed to be
decontaminated.

Farmer Frank Ainsworth, who employed Forkin said his employee would
have known the substance could be fatal but he said he was unaware any
bottles were missing from his store.

Mr Ashworth said: 'Christopher was a polite, trustworthy and reliable
worker. He liked a drink and was quiet when he was sober but not when
he was drunk.

'He knew that the poison was fatal and we had used it on the lambs to
poison foxes.'

Forkin had recently taken up martial arts training at Waterfoot-based
Team Warriors Elite and had been due to take part in a cage fight
event.

Recording an open verdict East Lancashire Coroner Richard Taylor said:
'The evidence doesn't point in one particular direction to say he was
meant to kill himself as drink was involved. My sincere condolences go
out to his family.'

In a family statement Forkin's relatives said: 'Christopher was a
different lad when he had a drink and if he hadn't have had this
argument with his girlfriend over a text message he may not have taken
his own life.'

Head coach of Team Warriors Elite, Declan Williams said at the time of
Forkin's death: 'The whole club is distraught to hear that Chris has
died. He had so much going for him. We can't understand why this has
happened.

'He always had a huge smile on his face whatever the situation. He was
such a nice person and a pleasure to train, a very valuable member of
the team.'

Danny Brelsford who trained with Forkin added: 'I had been training
with Chris during the daytime. He was honestly one of the nicest
people I have ever met.

'He was known for his infectious smile and his positive carefree
attitude. He will be greatly missed.'

Forkin was a former pupil of Fearns Community Sports College,
Rawtenstall and on his Facebook site posted a quote saying: 'Train
hard, fight hard, play harder. Life's too short to wonder "what if" so
live every day to the full.'

LATEST : MI ANNOUNCED AS UNITED NATION’S UNODC AMBASSADOR FOR SMUGGLING OF MIGRANTS

Chocolate City Music rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as Mr.
Incredible was knighted on Thursday, 9 October 2012 as UNODC's
Goodwill Ambassador on Smuggling of Migrants in Abuja.

Smuggling has been defined as the procurement of such peoples into a
State for financial or material benefit. Virtually every country in
the world is affected by this crime; Nigeria is no exception.

In Europe, Nigerians constitute several hundreds of thousands illegal
migrants with half of them concentrated in the United Kingdom.
Poverty, crime, corruption and violence have been part of the vicious
cycle contributing to this considerable emigration pressure.

Traffickers offer young women an opportunity to travel to Europe with
promises of good jobs and the ability to cater for their families,
while boys and men are smuggled with promises of safety and similar
work opportunities.

M.I, has been selected to speak against this vicious cycle. He serves
as a role model capable of speaking powerfully against such smuggling.
His journey in hip-hop within Africa stands to remind young men and
women that even when the odds are stacked against you, persistence and
hard-work pay off.

PHOTOS:WOMEN WiTH THE WORLD’S TINIEST WAIST AND WORLD’S LONGEST LEGS

Looking at 75 year old Cathie Jung's tiny waist below, the first thing
that comes to mind is probably Photoshop or surgery but no!

Her waist is as real as it gets. Coming in at just 15inches (38cm),
her unbelievable tiny waist makes her figure distinctly hourglas
s-like.

The Queen of Corsets, as she has aptly named herself, has worn
tight-fitting corsets for years (since she was 38) to get to this
shape, and appears in the body parts section of the Guinness Book of
World Records.

Emphatically, she has never had surgery to reduce her waist.

Russian woman Svetlana Pankratova has, according to Guinness World
Records, the longest legs of any woman in the world. While she is not
the world's tallest woman, her legs are 132 centimeters (4 ft 4 in)
long; the total height of some humans, lol!

Because her upper body is of much more typical dimensions, she is 196
centimeters (6 ft 5 in) tall. She has also very large feet, size 13
(US) / 46 (EU).

Katie Holmes Am Loving My New Life Without Tom Cruise:

Katie Holmes is enjoying her new life being single since her divorce
from Tom Cruise and has no plans on dating anyone anytime soon.

"Katie is just flourishing in her new life," a source close to the
situation tells Radar. "Yes, there have been some dark moments but she
was more than ready to embark on the next phase of her life post-Tom
Cruise. Katie felt that her professional career suffered because she
was married to Tom and that she didn't have the final say in her
acting roles. Katie is currently busy preparing for her role in Dead
Accounts.

"Katie believes in love and hopes to get remarried one day but has
absolutely no plans on dating anytime soon. Katie is devoted to being
the best parent possible to Suri [Cruise] and continuing a smooth
transition into their new lives together. Katie knows bringing a new
man into the situation would only cause more stress for Suri right now
and the actress is still recovering from the end of her marriage to
Tom."

As previously reported, leaked legal documents dated August 17 and
signed by New York State Supreme Court Judge Matthew F. Cooper offer
details of the divorce decree, including the specifics of the A-list
couples custody agreement.

The marital relationship had broken down irretrievably for a period of
at least six months immediately preceding, the papers state.

Tom, 50, and Katie, 33, tied the knot in a lavish wedding in Italy in
2006. However, the legal documents say they officially married in a
civil ceremony in Los Angeles on November 11, 2006. A prenuptial
agreement was acknowledged and signed by Holmes months earlier.


In terms of child support, Tom was ordered to pay $400,000 a year to
cover Suris medical, dental, insurance, unreimbursed medical and
dental, education, college, extracurricular and camp expenses.

Meanwhile, "Tom has been in daily contact with Suri via telephone and
Skype. Suri has been telling her dad what she has been learning in
school. Katie and Tom are now talking also and are working to
co-parent Suri. Tom is hoping to see Suri around Halloween as he has
been filming a movie in London," the insider reveals.

ACN - TUNDE BAKARE PUSHED BUHARI TO FAILURE WITH AMBITION

Action Congress of Nigeria governorship candidate in the coming Ondo
State election has accused Congress for Progressive Change, Vice
President Candidate in the 2011 Presidential election, Pastor Tunde
Bakare of "pushing" General Muhammadu Buhari to failure during the
election.

In a statement issues by the Director of Media, Publicity and Strategy
of Akeredolu's group, Idowu Ajanaku, said Bakare "is notorious for
being on the losing side. He supported Gen. Muhammad Buhari in the
last presidential election and pushed the much loved man with his
ambition to become vice president until their party lost woefully.
Nobody will take him serious, a man who has abused respected men of
God in the land. How many of his predictions have come to pass. He
predicted that Obasanjo will not become president in 1999 but the man
ended up spending eight years in office."

He spoke as the Convener of Save Nigeria Group (SNG), Pastor Tunde
Bakare said the proposed regional integration in the South West should
not be a partisan agenda, noting that the interest of the people
should be considered first before that of any political party.

Bakare who predicted that Governor Olusegun Mimiko would win "hands
down" and "nothing will happen" afterwards spoke in Lagos in reference
to the plan by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to win the
governorship election in Ondo State towards regional integration of
the South West. He said the idea that only one political party could
integrate the region economically was borne out of "colonial thinking"
which was to the common people's detriment.

THE GAMBIA PRESIDENT CLAIMS CURE FOR HIV

The Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has said that dozens of HIVand AIDS
patients in the tiny West African state have been cured using his
secret concoction of boiled herbs, Reuters reports.

Jammeh first announced he had found a natural remedy to cure HIV and
AIDS in 2007, stirring anger among Western medical experts who claimed
he was giving false hope to the sick.

"Who am I to expect that everybody would praise me,'' Jammeh said in a
state television broadcast on Sunday evening, announcing that 68
patients had been cured and discharged from a treatment centre.

"Just as the Prophet Mohammed prevailed and established Islam, I have
also prevailed to cure HIV/AIDS to the point that 68 are being
discharged today,'' he said.

The World Health Organisation and the UN have said Jammeh's HIV/AIDS
treatment is alarming mainly because patients are required to cease
their anti-retroviral drugs making them more prone to infection.

The president said the cured group was the seventh batch of HIV/AIDS
patients undergoing his herbal remedy to have been discharged since
the treatments began five years ago.

Jammeh came to power in The Gambia, a sliver of land on Africa's west
coast that is popular with sun-seeking European tourists, in a
bloodless military coup in 1994.

He is accused by activists of human rights abuses during his rule, and
recently drew international criticism for executing nine death row
inmates by firing squad.

Jammeh said on Sunday that his government would fully integrate
"natural medicine'' to all the country's hospitals, to complement
Western medical techniques.

Other African leaders have drawn criticism for extolling the power of
natural remedies to combat AIDS.

PROFESSOR STRIPS NAKED IN CALCULUS CLASS

Michigan State University students had an unconventional math class
last week Monday after a 57 year old Mathematics professor, John
McCarthy reportedly stripped naked in Calculus 1 class and began
screaming that "there is no f****ing God" and "It's all an act and
none of it's real."

In the age of laptop computers, the most surprising thing is that the
students noticed and looked up from their computers. Presumably one
student asked the standard question of "will this be on the test?"

Witnesses said that McCarthy was going through a routine derivative
equation when he started to talk about his colleagues and how "they're
all actors." He added that "It's all an act and none of it's real."

According to a freshman, Kyle Hillman who was in the Calculus class,
the professor had earlier ranted some words; "Math is all about
questions and answers. And Steve Jobs invented the computer, but what
do computers do? They ask questions and we answer them."

Hillman said after the professor finished swearing about God and
religion, he pulled a $1 bill from his wallet, waved it a few times,
then ran out of the class.

"I had to leave the class. It was pretty terrifying."

McCarthy ranted naked down the hall of the school's Engineering
Building according to multiple witness account.

Hillman recalled McCarthy has been a little off since the beginning of
the class.

"Earlier in the class on Monday, he made a mistake and said, 'I'm
sorry. I say sorry a lot. People say I say sorry too much. I should
probably stop saying it'".

Campus police placed McCarthy in protective custody and later
transported him to a local hospital.

John McCarthy holds a bachelor's, two master's, and doctoral degree in
Mathematics.

Brilliance is sometimes accompanied with mental issues; McCarthy
obviously had a psychological meltdown. He was arrested but not
charged with a crime. He could certainly be charged with indecent
exposure but hopefully the police would show discretion and let him
be.

As difficult as it would be for McCarthy to go back to the classroom,
the faculty would really help and support him by treating his strip as
a case of mental illness, allow him seek help, but not fire him. I
would also hope that the faculty treats this matter as a mental
illness and allows McCarthy to seek treatment rather than simply fire
him.

Meanwhile, the school has not released any statement on how the matter
would be treated, but sources say some members of the management
believes the matter should be treated as a misconduct. In the
meantime, the school has merely reassigned his classes and would take
no further action just yet. Lol ooooooooooooo

Latest : Woman Weighs 308 Pounds And Becomes Beauty Queen

A 23-year-old woman tipping the scales at 308 pounds has won the
plus-size beauty pageant Mrs. Utah Plus America 2012,

"I used to watch the Miss America pageant as a child and wished I
could be one of those girls," said the beauty queen, Victoria
Christensen. "I had decided that I was never going to be skinny enough
or pretty enough to do that, so year after year, I would watch them
and continue to wish."

Victoria said she long suffered taunts from classmates calling her
horrible names about her weight.

"At school, people commonly called me fat and "Fatty" -- the worst was
"Garbage Disposal" because people thought I ate too much," she
recalled. "But I dont remember anything more than that because Ive
tried to let them go and remove any negative forces in my life."

Victoria said she first became aware of the plus-size beauty
competition while watching an interview on Facebook with last year's
winner, giving her the idea to enter this year's contest.

She recalled, "My first thought was 'Wait a minute: Plus?!?' I
realized I had a chance to be one of the girls I thought I would never
be skinny enough or pretty enough to be."

moving forward. She said the competition changed her life and helped
her see "what a woman should be.

YINKA AYEFELE'S N200M HOME IN OYO STATE TO BE DEMOLISH

The sensational singer, Yinka Ayefele got a rude shocker yesterday
morning when he learnt that his N200m building will be pulled down by
the Oyo State Government.
According to his publicist, Ayefele was not given any prior notice
about the demolition and he was shocked to hear about it this
yesterday morning.

The ibadan based singer, Ayefele went ahead to church and later went
to perform at an event as if nothing happened but many people have
continued to criticize Gov Ajimobi for his demolition policies.

His publicist writes, "This N200million edifice has in its belly, two
magnificent halls, an internet radio station, a standard studio and
several offices. It also provides job for about 100 people and that
places it among top employers of labor in Oyo State. This is Yinka
Ayefele Music House that has being marked for demolition by Oyo State
government.

From the government quarters, "The government wants to expand the road
to an 8-lane road being proposed by the state government. The road and
the house will be affected and there is nothing anybody can do about
it."

INI EDO'S MARRIAGE? ALLEGEDLY THREATENS HUBBY, PHILIPS EHIAGWINA TO WALK OUT MARRIAGE IF FED UP WITH HER?

If what gossip mongers are revealing to Nigeriafilms.com is anything
to go by, then all may not be too well in the marriage of reportedly
pregnant Nollywood actress, Ini Edo and her husband of four years,
Philip Ehiagwina.

What an olofofo, who claimed to be close to Ini Edo divulged to
Nigeriafilms.com seems very disturbing. It has always been believed
that US-based Philip is allegedly being on the bills of Ini Edo. Some
gossip merchants swore that he (Philip) depends on the sultry actress
to survive.

The latest that we are hearing about the couple, who attended a
fashion show in the US together recently, is that there is an alleged
crack in their four years old marriage.

According to a bird in the know, Philip allegedly called the attention
of his wife that his people (family members) are complaining about
news they hear about her. As the tale bearer told us, Ini reportedly
replied her handsome hubby to leave her alone and let her be.

You think she stopped there? The amebor said Ini Edo then reportedly
told Philip to walk out of the marriage if he is tired of her and the
news his people are hearing about her. We also learnt from another
tale bearer that Philip reportedly called some of Ini's friends to
inform them of what his wife told him. The olofofo then said that
their marriage is just like a time bomb now waiting to explode.

Though there were others things we were told about the marriage, but
those are matters of another day. We hope this gist is not true
because we do not subscribe to marriage break-up in Nollywood. We have
had enough marriage break-ups in the motion pictures industry in
Nigeria.

SAD : SEVEN OF THE FAMILY OF NINE WHO DIED FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING BURIED AT THE WEEKEND

Seven of the family of nine who died after burying their mother at
Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, was buried
in one long grave over the weekend.

His Grace, Dr. Anthony J.V. Obinna, Catholic Archbishop of Owerri
Ecclesiastical Province while speaking during a mass organized for the
deceased ones described the burial of seven people from the same
family as horrible.

The Catholic Archbishop said; "Though the gathering is a sad one, it
is out of love for the deceased persons and for the relatives that we
are here. We must remind ourselves of the reality of death."

He said the false rumour that trailed the death of the Emekuku Nine
showed unnecessary fear of death and lack of faith.

"Christians must be wise, as well as realize that some opportunistic
persons in society cash in on moments of temptation and tension to get
what they want.

"There are lots of 419 spiritual people, who use the opportunity of
poor faith to do business, thus creating problems in families," Obinna
said.

Reports say the autopsy report released by the State Commissioner of
Health, Dr. Joe Obi-Njoku, had confirmed that the nine persons died
from suffocation after inhaling carbon monoxide from a generating set.

The state government has therefore issued clear directives on the use
of electric generating sets, pointing out that families should build
generator houses away from living rooms to avoid a repeat of the ugly
incident.

Nigerians reacting to the issue have blamed it on government for the
government's inability to provide steady power supply.

"There have been too many deaths as a result of inhalation of Carbon
monoxide and the government is advising us to build generator houses
far from our house? Why can't they ensure adequate power supply so
that we don't have to use generators?" Mr Badmus said.

The family of nine were discovered dead on Sunday July 8, 2012 in
Umuakuru village in Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo
State after they had buried their 98-year-old mother, Mrs Felicia
Njoku on Saturday, July 7 in their country home.

The deceased include Mr. Pascal Njoku, his wife Juliana and their five
children, Ebere (first daughter), Ifunanya (second daughter), Chibueze
(son) Jackline (third daughter) and Uchechi (last daughter).

Others, who also died along with the Njokus, were Mr. Njoku's sister,
Christina Uba (nee Njoku) and her friend Catherine who accompanied her
to the burial.
