Man arrested for refusing to leave the prison

Rodney Dwayne Valentine 

A man, Rodney Valentine who'd just been released from jail in northern North Carolina was arrested again for refusing to leave the jail after authorities wouldn't give him a ride to a motel.

He was released from the Rockingham County jail Saturday morning after being behind bars since May 22. The sheriff's office says he asked them to drive him to a local motel and they refused. Deputies charged Valentine with second-degree trespassing when he had refused to leave the jail by Saturday afternoon.

Lol, I'll say they should just transfer this man to Kirikiri prison for 1 week. He'll be too glad to run when he finally gains his freedom. 

NUPENG begins strike today

If you don't have full tank in your car or fuel at home for your gen, this is the time to run to the filling station and get some oh, so you don't end up in one of those long, annoying and endless queues.

I hear the strike is in solidarity with some of their members sacked on Wednesday by MRS oil and Gas (about 2,500 of them). The strike will be restricted to Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Oyo, Osun and Kwara. They said they will continue with the strike till their members are called back.

Meanwhile, they've threatened to embark on an indefinite strike over the failure of Fed Govt. to pay subsidy for imported petroleum products and the poor state of the country's refineries among other issues.

Kanye West is already Designing an engagement ring for Kim!

Wow, while some babes are husband hunting, Kim seems never to be short of men wanting to marry her. It's being reported that while she's yet to conclude the divorce proceedings from a previous marriage, Kanye West is already designing an engagement ring which he intends to use to propose to her!

Janet Jackson slapped Michael Jackson's daughter Paris and called her a B***!?

                      Paris                                                              Janet

Oh my gosh! this is definitely not happening. I've watched and read the Jackson's feud over the late icon's disputed $500m will, which leaves everything to the children and nothing to his siblings silently because I felt this should be a family matter that should be settled amicably within the family but I was pushed to react when I read this morning that Janet called Paris a b*** and slapped her while Paris returned the slap with her own very sound one. Also remember that their grandma who's their guardian was reported missing but was later said to be fine and with family members. (Read that HERE)


From what I read up, the Jackson family tried to take the children away from the house they've stayed since their father died but they resisted. It is alleged that when Janet screamed abuse at Paris, the14-year-old responded with a slap of her own, telling her aunt: 'This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f*** out!"
My! this feels so wrong! considering that Michael Jackson tried so hard to shield his children from paparazzi.

Pictures of Supermodel Alek Wek's emotional visit to refugee camp in her South Sudan hometown

I saw this very torching piece on Mailonline and I was torched, I wanted to share it with the whole world. This lady is so beautiful inside out. Even after so many years and moving on, she still still came to associate with her refugees in her country. What strikes me is the way she looks at home and so like one of them. The way she's dressed is so down to earth that you'll almost think she's one of them. 

Her life now involves pacing the catwalks of London, New York, Paris and Milan, wearing couture clothes costing hundreds and thousands of pounds.
But South Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek has proved she is not going to forget her humble and often traumatic beginnings in a hurry.The former North African refugee has made an emotional return to her homeland, her first since 2005, to mark the first anniversary of the country's independence.And the trip brought back plenty of painful memories.

Pictures of Colorado Cinema Shooter, James Holmes' first appearance in court

Holmes dyed his hair to appear like Batman's nemesis The Joker

 This guy is just delusional! can you believe him, he dyed his hair bright orange to look like the joker (Batman nemesis  in the movie). Fortunately, Prosecutors are considering death penalty but will consult with the victims' family members while legal experts speculate that the Mugshot will likely pursue insanity defence. How convenient! For once, I agree with the idea, that says 'suffer not the witch to live!'

Recall that the demolition and killing happened sometime last week. If you didn't read it, click HERE to read it up.

4 JSS 3 students sell their class mate for rituals in Lagos?

I Just got this from a friend and decided to share it here. I don't know how true it s. 

Not the picture of the students or the victim

Thursday 19th July, 2012 was another horrifying day in Lagos.   Lion Building Police Station area  is where I parked my car today  and where I gathered this story that has kept me in awe. I am still in shock of this news. As unreal as it sounds, its true because I validated  the story.

Four JSS3 students of a nearby secondary school chattered a “keke marwa” to Ajah. They told the driver to wait for them, while one of them stayed in the vehicle and the other three went into a nearby house. Shortly afterwards, two of then came out and when the driver queried, he was told that the fourth guy is with their teacher, and that  he is the teacher’s favourite. As they drove off the driver noticed that they were looking into a black nylon bag that they just brought with them from the teacher’s place. He then noticed that it was full of money. When he probed, they said it was for them to deliver  an errand.
