Daughter Of Former President Obasanjo Writes Father, Says He Is Liar, Manipulator And Hypocrite


LAGOS — In what is turning out to be a season of open letters, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, has ruled out further communication with her father till death, describing him as a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite determined to foist on President Goodluck Jonathan what no one would contemplate with him as president.
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo in a letter to her father accused him of having an egoistic craving for power and living a life where only men of low esteem and intellect thrive.
In the 11-page letter dated December 16, 2013 exclusively obtained by Vanguard, Iyabo accused her father of orchestrating a third term for himself as president, cruelty to family members, abandonment of children and grandchildren, and also, a legendary reputation of maltreatment of women.
Iyabo who forswore further political engagements in Nigeria denied any political motive for her missive, and described Nigeria as a country where her father and his ilk have helped to create a situation where smart, capable people bend down to imbeciles to survive. She particularly noted her experience as chairman of the Senate Committee on Health when she led the committee on a retreat appropriated for in the budget only for her to be prosecuted for it.
Iyabo, first child of the former president, started the letter titled, Open Letter to my Father with a 4th century Chinese proverb by Mencius which states: “The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.”
Her letter:
“It brings me no joy to have to write this but since you started this trend of open letters I thought I would follow suit since you don’t listen to anyone anyway. The only way to reach you may be to make the public aware of some things. As a child well brought up by my long-suffering mother in Yoruba tradition, I have been reluctant to tell the truth about you but as it seems you still continue to delude yourself about the kind of person you are and I think for posterity’s sake it is time to set the records straight.

‘Twerking’ Burglar Caught On Video

Twerking burglar
Pedestrians passing by a building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn last week probably thought the dancing woman was simply exercising. But police say the woman was ‘twerking’ to serve as a distraction while her partner-in-crime was inside stealing packages.
Surveillance video shows the woman twerking just outside the building for nearly an hour — only pausing when residents walked by. One resident later reported her packages missing.
Police are still searching for the suspects who made off with several packages.

Documenting breast implants and liposuction surgeries online is nothing new, but rarely do you see a black woman being so open about cosmetic surgery.
Most women who can afford to leave the country for expensive cosmetic surgeries keep their friends in the dark about how they got their new curves. Whether due to vanity or shame, they return from their “vacation” to the Dominican Republic with a plethora of lies to explain the weight loss and artificially enhanced breasts and butt (exotic diets, new personal trainer, Yoga, etc.)

Paul Walker DEATH CERTIFICATE Traumatic & Thermal Injuries

EXCLUSIVE
1216_paul_walker_launch_2
Paul Walker
 died from "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries"... this according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ.

The official cause of death is significant ... it means Walker wasn't killed from the impact alone. He also burned to death after the crash.

The L.A. County Coroner released Paul's cause of death earlier this month. The man who was driving the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, Roger Rodas, also died from "multiple traumatic injuries," but the Coroner did NOT list burns as a factor in his death.

Both death certificates reveal the men died quickly ... according to the doc, the time interval between the impact and their deaths was "rapid."

Both Walker and Rodas were killed in the November 30th crash in Santa Clarita, CA. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but as we reported, officials suspect plastic bumps in the road may have caused Rodas to lose control.

Fans Express Outrage Over Beyonce’s Raunchy Lyrics


It's easy to see why Columbia Records wavered on a marketing budget for Beyonce's risky new self-titled album. Rather than pay for the marketing out of her own pocket, Beyonce cut out the middleman and released her new album straight to iTunes late Friday. The hard-core CD breaks every taboo for a Grammy Award winning pop singer who built her career on family values. Beyonce takes huge risks with sexually aggressive lyrics that would make a pr0n star blush.
Several readers emailed to express their outrage. One loyal reader plans to create a Change.org petition urging Columbia Records to drop the star.

We The North Are Ready To Go; We Are Tired Of Being Called Parasites


We the north of Nigeria are ready for a separation process, which will either involve regionalism or total disintegration.
On the topic, Sagir Aliyu said: Yes, I’m in support of BREAK UP. Because most Nigerian minds are full of hatred, sentiments, ethnicity, religious differences and tribalism. Some are calling for revolution, but instead of loosing lives and property; let the romance end. Also if the 2015 election will result to loss of lives and property, the romance should end before then, Please!
Idris Musa also commented on the subject: Break up is long overdue. Why can some have freedom to perform their religious rites while some are deprived? I can’t remain at home on Fridays like Christians do Sundays, Marital dossiers are only emphasized for only one wife & four children. Economically, we are considered parasites because they refused to revamp agriculture. They refused to explore oil deposits in more than five places in my region. Let us break so that we have fresh air.

How Can I Bleach? You Are Very Silly To Ask That Question – Ex-Gov. Alao Akala Fires back At Reporter


A lot of people have said the former Governor is bleaching. In this new interview, a Punch reporter asked him if he was bleaching, and the former Governor, said, write it there that I said you are silly. Did you know me when I was black? I don’t know what gave people that impression, he said angrily. Find part of the interview below.
You talked about quality, is it in terms of your dressing too?
In terms of everything, Akala is a man of quality. Look at me, I am a man of quality, with due respect. I use quality materials.
Is the use of jewelry part of it too?
Yes, I have been using jewelry as a young man. Do you know what they called Ghana before, Gold Coast. I lived in Ghana and that was where I got used to it early in my life. We make statement with our looks in Ghana. In those days when we were in Ghana, your wife bathed you and took care of you.
I am from Ghana, so I have been using jewelry (he sends for an album). I want to show you some pictures. Pictures that I took some 40 years back, you would see chains on my neck. Look at my hand chains and rings in this picture. That is how I was brought up.
Even when I was in (police) uniform, I wore my chain with my uniform.
