Ladies, will you wear these shoes? How do stars manage in them anyway?

Heelless shoes seem to be the in thing for stars. I've been seeing quite a number of them wear these heelless wedged shoes and I have sincerely wondered how they manage to walk in them without tumbling over. I guess it won't be long before everyday people start rocking them too.

Oh my gosh! Kanye West Tweets that he just fu**ed Kim so hard!

I find this very difficult and disturbing to believe! Just when we're just coming out of the shock of Kanye West calling his lady a bitch, he's done it again by allegedly tweeting that he just fucked her real hard. I mean, what sort of man says that about his girl?

I hear he quickly removed it almost immediately he tweeted it but within those short seconds, some of his followers had already saved it!

I really hope his account was hacked and used by some wicked, twisted minded people otherwise, I'll say, 'Kim, please run!, run for your dear life!. Your man thinks you're nothing but a piece of dildo. *sorry kim, the truth hurts*

Phone accessories seller arrested with N27m hard drug

Officers of Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have apprehended a 26-year old man in connection with 8.5kg of methamphetamine concealed inside metal pipes on Tuesday.

The suspect, Afunaya Thaddeus Izunna, who sells phone accessories at Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, was found at the weekend to be in possession of the drug during the screening of passengers on Ethiopian airline flight to New Delhi, India.

The drug is worth N27 million and was discovered when anti-narcotic officers insisted in searching the metal pipes inside his luggage.

The NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar said that the drug with a total weight of 8.5kg is one of the highest seizures recently recorded at the Lagos airport.

NDLEA quoted the suspect to have disclosed that he is married with 2 children.

“I am a trader. I sell phone accessories at Ikeja to take care of my wife and two children. It was a friend that gave me the metal pipes that I should take them to India for a fee. I did not know when, how and where it was packed. I was only given the bag containing the pipes. Unfortunately, when I got to the airport during screening, NDLEA officers discovered the drug and I was arrested. This is my first time of smuggling drugs. I hope my wife will understand and forgive men,” NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying.

Video of crazy Rantings of a Racist black woman on London Bus

Looks like this woman is a total lunatic. She was ranting and insulting white passengers that were in a packed London bus while affirming that  she's black and proud. She seems to be under the influence of some kind of hard drugs.

She began the insults by shouting: 'I'm so glad I'm born black and I'll die black. I was born African and I'll f**king die African. The only reason I was born in this country is because you f**king people brought my people here'

At some point she said: 'They all want to be f**king black, they all put fat in their lips and their bottoms and sit down on the sun bed to be black!'

Even the queen was not spared insults and she was very vocal in informing the world that she hates whites and can't stand them.

I beg, I can't quote everything she said, click on the video below to watch and hear her insanities. *Warning: The video is shocking, she used lots of insulting words. Don't click if you can't stomach it*

Young Nigerian Woman Cynthia Udoka Osokogu Murdered by Facebook 'Friends' in Lagos

The rate at which people disappear these days is so alarming. It's either they're kidnapped for ritual purposes or used as ransom to extort money from their families. Some are lucky enough to come back alive while others get killed even after the ransom has been paid. 

The story of Cynthia Ukoka is particularly painful to me because it could have been any of us. We've all got facebook, twitter and other social media friends. I have met and made lasting friends from social media and even stayed with a lady I met on Nairaland when I went to Port Harcourt sometime ago and she stayed with me in Lagos too when she came visiting Lagos. Till date, we're still friends, even though she eventually moved to the UK. 

How it all happened, according to Bellanaija.com.

Alleged Cannibal Clifford Orji dies in Kirikiri Prison

I'm sure most Nigerians remember Clifford Orji who first made news about 13 years ago as the horrid man who roasted and ate human flesh. It was even said that lots of body parts were found stored in his freezer which he claimed he sold to notable politicians for rituals. 

He was arrested in 1999 under the bridge at Toyota Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway in Lagos  and some people said he was mad at the time while others said he was a ritualise and not actually mad. 

While in  Kirikiri Mazimum Prison, he totally went mad, going about naked, vomiting and even defecating on himself. 

The bad thing is that he was never at any time admitted into any psychiatric home for treatment as most of the homes rejected him. 

He finally died on Friday, 17th August in his sleep at 46 years old
