We had no choice but to sell Van Persie to Man United, claims Wenger

Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal were powerless to stop Robin van Persie signing for Manchester United.

United sealed the signing of the summer on Wednesday night when Arsenal agreed to sell Van Persie to their Barclays Premier League rivals for £24million.

Van Persie arrived at London St Pancras train station on Thursday morning ahead of his trip to Manchester to complete his medical.

Does this lady look like Lady Gaga in anyway?

Emmm....I wouldn't be deceived for a split second. Her hair is too ordinary and there's just something not so 'gagarious' about her.

In a bid to deflect attention from herself, the eccentric singer had a lookalike pal exit her bus ahead of her.

Waiting fans were immediately excited- but it soon became apparent that the lady, who was dressed in a Gaga style look of sheer dress, no bra and black panties wasn't the Bad Romance singer after all.

20,000 pairs of 'very good' fake designers shoes coming in from China seized by U.S. border

Very recently, a female friend sent me a picture of her colleague's broken heels. She had won a pair of designer shoes which she bought from the UK to work and the heels gave way the day she launched them to work. What was most annoying was that she paid an equivalent of N30,000 for them. Luckily for her, she didn't sustain any injuries. 
We all wondered how she went all the way to the UK and came back with a fake pair of shoes. I guess we needed not wonder since Chinese fake goods seems to find their way to every market worldwide and they were caught in the US recently.

Husband seeks divorce from wife for doing 'JUJU'

Hehehehe, it just sounded nice to call it juju. Reminds me of those early days of Nollywood. I used to wonder if these things actually happen. Apparently, they do!

A 52-year-old man, Abolade Adewole has pleaded with an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his marriage of 17 years to his "fetish wife", Kafayat.

"She's fetish; there was a time I saw a horn wrapped in red cloth in my wife's handbag," Adewole told the court. Adewole also said that his wife once incised their five children on the head without his knowledge."I was away for two days and when I got home, my children told me that their mother brought home an Imam who performed the incisions," he added.

38 year old man rapes 5 year old girl in Lagos

This is NOT the real picture of the vicitm

I wonder what a man could possibly find attractive on a 5 year old. I mean, a little innocent child without breasts or curves, where does the attraction come from. Could the man possibly be possessed, extremely sex starved, sick or just merely being wicked. Whatever his excuses are, who cares really. I mean, if he's so horney and doesn't have a wife, why doesn't he go hit the wall or more conventionally, pay a whore for the services. 

A 38-year-old man, Oluwadamilare Joseph, was, yesterday, docked before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, for allegedly having raping a five-year-old girl.

Joseph, who is unemployed, was said to have sexually-assaulted five- year-old Mary Oluwole.

I hope he rots in jail!

Dog meat sellers want permanent market in Jos

This might not be much of a gist but it sort of sounds strange to me that people will ask for a dog meat market being that lots of people feel that dogs are man's best friend and shouldn't be eaten. Other school of thought say, it's just meat and not different from beef or chicken. As for me, I will rather not even think about it as the thought of it makes me feel sick how much more take anyone's side. 

Did Chris Okotie actually refer to his ex-wife Stephanie as 'Jezebel'?

I heard this gist going around from members of Chris Okotie's church and wondered if it's true. I mean, why does he have to wash their dirty linen in public? Besides, didn't he say from the beginning that they won't be talking about this break up?

Now, to the gist proper: 

During the Sermon in Household of the God Church on Sunday, 12th August, Pastor Chris Okotie seemed so vexed and embittered that he verbally attacked his ex- wife. With much vehemence in his voice, he compared her to Jezebel in the Bible and said he had the liberty to judge her because he had greatly suffered in her hands while they were still married. 

He also gave her the liberty to go to CNN or BBC and talk about him if she so wishes and concluded that under no circumstance will he ever take her back. 

This report was by members of his church who attended the service. It was reported that he spoke about her with so much bitterness that they wondered what she could have done to him. Meanwhile, I hear that he has retrieved the 2 cars he bought for her while they were still married. A Benz S class and a BMW X6.

Bobby Brown back in Rehab....again

Bobby Brown is undergoing rehab treatment once again.

The 43-year-old singer, who was arrested for DUI on March 26, 2012, after being pulled over for allegedly using a cell phone while driving, is once again undergoing treatment for his addiction issues barely 2 months after his marriage to new wife and 7 months after Whitney passed on which was linked to cocaine abuse.

Pastor sleeps with the first of his 9 children and has 2 children by her!

What kind of sick stories do we hear around these days! I don't get how people just get up and label themselves 'pastors' without living a Christlike life. If our so called pastors behave this way, what hope do kids have? 

Read the full, totally disturbing story after the cut as reported by PM news. 

Pastor Emmanuel Alex in charge of a new generation church in Egan, on the outskirts of Lagos, has been arrested by the police for allegedly impregnating his 15-year old daughter two times.

His daughter delivered the two babies within two years. This happened after the girl’s mother died.

Guys, would you like your Babe to look like Kim Kardashian? It takes just....

A whooping £66,000 a year to look like Kim! 

And that’s without all the freebies the star gets for endorsing armfuls of products including OPI polish, Illumifill line-filling make-up and QuickTrim diet supplement.

Lady grows human nails in hair follicles instead of hair

 Strange things happen sometimes that make us wonder at what point things went wrong. This story makes me shiver anytime I think about it. I mean, having hard black nails in every hair follicle sounds totally scary and very uncomfortable. I can only imagine the level of discomfort this lady would suffer with her head, her armpit and every other part of her body all covered in hard human nails

He asked me to marry him and finally the 'lump in the throat' melted away.

 I know that feeling of 'lump in the throat' and I can authoritatively confirm that it happens and you feel it physically. A huge painful lump that just wouldn't go down.

I had that feeling a couple of years ago when something horribly painful and unexpected happened to me. Tears wouldn't take it away, neither would my resolution to move on, so I came to accept that the lump was always going to be there along with a painful ache, that feeling of a deep hole somewhere in my heart which was always just at the background as well as the feeling that something was missing which was never ever going to be found.

Kristen & Robert fight over who gets custody of their rescue dog, Bear

Bear

26-year-old Robert wants Bear – the mixed breed rescue they adopted from a high-kill shelter in New Orleans.

But Kristen won’t give up Bear easily, she nursed the pup through his battle with the potentially fatal disease Parvo.

She's also spent a lot of time with the dog and has flown him around the country with her.

'After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles apartment, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear,' an insider told RadarOnline.com. 

'But Rob was so hurt by Kristen’s actions he decided that he wants the dog to help him get over what happened. After all, a dog is a man’s best friend and Bear is such a good companion.'She was heartbroken – they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby.

Elegant Kate Middleton looks every bit the Princess she is!

She was photographed here attending a creative Industries reception at the Royal Academy of Arts in London's Piccadilly to support the Government's GREAT Campaign.  

Children are taken from their families and brutalised into future Olympians in China?

Olympic Update:Child Cruelty,What It Takes To Win In China?

If this is what winning entails, I'll pass.I used to respect the discipline and enduring qualities in these guys when it comes to being healthy and fit, but this is cruel. Trust Americans to go Western world to dig up the dirt when a 16 year old Chinese swimmer out swam men's No. 1. A very rare feat! They are saying kids that are barely old enough to know what the Olympic means are brutalised and focefully turned into athletes!
Sickening! Why can't they just let these kids grow up to decide for themselves?

A diplomatic storm is brewing over Olympic swimming sensation Ye Shiwen. The 16-year-old was forced to deny using drugs after US coach John Leonard called her gold medal-winning performance 'unbelievable'. But her defiant pledge that the world record-breaking swim on Saturday - which saw her outpace the winner of the men's event - came from 'hard work and training' failed to defuse a doping controversy gripping London 2012

Bank driver arrested with 19 ATM cards, N652,000

Oh my! What a flimsy explanation. Thank God for the vigilant security guard who raised alarm and got the man arrested. I still wonder how he actually got those cards though.

The full story as reported in Punch

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested Dare Oladujoye, a driver with Zenith Bank, for allegedly being in possession of 19 Guaranty Trust Bank ATM cards and the sum of N652, 000.

See what Kanye West & Kim K wore to Fela! on Broadway

I don't think I'm feeling this Kanye West's baggy cloths and Kim K's unflattering army green dress but they do look good together as usual and I like the fact that Kanye West is the perfect gentle man by opening the door for his sweetheart.
