Man Kill Himself Because Obama Won A Second Term

A former tanning salon owner was found dead two days after the
election after telling his partner that he was 'not going to be
around' if President Obama won a second term.

Henry Hamilton was discovered next tow two empty prescription pill
bottles with the message 'F*** Obama!' written over his will.

His partner said that the 64-year-old man was 'very upset about the
election results.' Police are not searching for any suspects in the
case, as police spokeswoman Alyson Crean
said 'there's absolutely no evidence of foul play'.

The Miami Herald reports that Hamilton's friend had been so worried
about his well-being that the unidentified friend requested that the
police check on Hamilton at the condo that he shared with partner
Michael Cossey. The last time Mr Cossey saw Hamilton was on the night
of the election when they were watching the returns.

Adding to his list of concerns, along with his sense of impending doom
that allegedly came with the re-election of President Obama, was that
the Tropical Tan salon that he co-owned with Mr Cossey recently
closed. Mr Cossey later told police that Hamilton 'has been very
stressed about his business'.

On the day following the election, Mr Cossey and Hamilton didn't
interact at all and Mr Cossey went out with friends that ended with a
late card game. He returned to the apartment that the couple shared on
South Roosevelt Boulevard and fell asleep on the couch rather than the
bed at around 6am.

Mr Cossey only realized the Hamilton was dead when a police officer
arrived on Wednesday morning as part of the welfare check arranged by
Hamilton's friend. The Miami Herald reports that officer Anna Dykes
said that an empty bottle of anxiety medication Xanax and
schizophrenia treatment Seroquel were found on the scene.

Thank God he was wise enough to kill himself instead of going on
rampage and be killing innocent people.

EXPOSED: OMO BANKE, K1 SLEPT With PASUMA'S Daughter, Wasilat

The main reason for the title-drop of Arabambi 2 to Oganla of Fuji
title by Pasuma may be getting clearer if what both what Newscarte is
reporting and further information reaching Nigeriafilms.com are
anything to go by. Few weeks ago, there have been conflicting reports
on why Pasuma dropped the title.

While some reported that Pasuma dropped the name due to the treatment
K1 gave Pasuma in the build up to Iya Rainbow's 70th birthday, others
reported that there was no bad blood between the two Fuji music icons
in the title-drop.

Pasuma had claimed in a report that ""I am old enough to decide on my
own; I have served K1 and I have to move on with my career. After all,
K1 used to be called Wasiu Ayinde Barrister and when he changed the
name, almost everybody hailed him over his decision," while K1 was
reportedly quoted to have said "Do we have to deny anybody the right
to change of name? He has been a wonderful and loyal person to me, so
I have no hard feelings over the change in title. At least, it will go
down in history that he was once Arabambi 2."

But a recent report by Newscarte revealed that Pasuma dropped the
Arabambi 2 title after he discovered that K1 was allegedly having a
secret romantic affair with his first daughter, Wasilat. This, may
have necessitated his decision to drop the title because of the hurt
of realising that his godfather is allegedly sleeping with his
daughter secretly.

It was further reported that a source disclosed that Pasuma has been
told about the alleged illicit affair between Wasilat and K1, but
chose to confirm the development before taking any action until he
finally confirmed it himself.

"Pasuma is angry because he never expected such thing from a man he
regarded as one of his godfathers. Actor Ose Omo Banke (Soji Taiwo) is
also having an affair with Wasilat, but that of K1 is more painful to
him. He (Pasuma) decided to keep it a secret in the interest of his
daughter," the source was quoted to have told Newscarte.

Efforts made by Nigeriafilms.com to contact the trio of Pasuma, K1 and
Soji Taiwo to get them speak on this revelation proved abortive as
their phone numbers were switched of as at press time.
A source disclosed that K1 is presently in America.

BREAKING NEWS: Dr Abubakar Olusola Saraki Is Dead

The Kwara Government on Wednesday announced the death of Second
Republic Senate Leader, Dr Olusola Saraki.

The elder statesman died at the age of 79 years.

Gov. Abdulfattah Ahmed of Kwara, who announced the death of the
politician at the Government House in Ilorin, said Saraki passed on
in the early hours of Wednesday.

The governor declared Wednesday a work-free day to allow residents
of the state to receive the body of the late politician who died in
Lagos.

Ahmed also declared a three-day mourning period across the state.

The body of the late politician was expected in Ilorin at 2:00 p.m
while the burial was expected to take place at 4: 00 p.m.

Scores of residents had trooped to the GRA residence of the late
politician as news of the death filtered into the state capital.

Government officials, however, kept sealed lips on the death of
Saraki while many top public officers were sighted at the Government
House and the residence of the deceased discussing in groups.

The state-owned radio station, Radio Kwara, suspended all regular
programmes in honour of the late Waziri of Ilorin.

In its place, the station was playing different sound tracks
eulogising the life and times of the late politician.

NAN reports that Saraki was born in Ilorin on the 17th of May,1933 and
was educated at Eko Boys High School, Lagos.

He also attended the University of London and St George's Hospital
Medical School, London.

The late politician also worked as a Medical Officer at the General
Hospital, Lagos and the Creek Hospital, Lagos.

He first entered for the parliamentary election in Ilorin as an
independent, but failed to win.

After the election, he returned to his medical practice in Lagos, only
returning to party-politics in 1978/79.

In 1977, Saraki was elected as a member of the Constituent Assembly
that produced the 1979 constitution.

Also in 1979, he was elected a Senator of the Second Republic and
became the Senate Leader.

In 1983, Saraki was re-elected into the Senate on the platform of the
National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

The late politician in 1998 became a National Leader and member of
the Board of Trustees of the defunct All People's Party (APP) and
contributed to the party's success in Kwara and Kogi States.

Saraki was also to declare support for the PDP in the 2003 elections
and backed his son, Bukola, to clinch the governorship seat. (NAN)
