President Mugabe Tells David Cameron: "To Hell With You’ On Gay Rights"

President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe came down heavily on British Prime Minister David Cameron telling him "to hell with you" over his calls to respect gay rights.

"Nature is nature. It has created male and female," Mugabe told thousands of supporters at his 88th birthday celebration at a stadium in the eastern border town of Mutare.

"You David Cameron, are you suggesting that you don't know that or is it some kind of insanity or part of the culture of Europeans.

"In their newspapers, that's one of my sins. That I called (gays) worse than pigs and dogs because pigs know there are males and females. It's even in the Bible that you create through the system of marrying.

"That's how we were born, so we reject that outright and say to hell with you. I won't even call him a dog because my own dog will complain and say, but what have I done."

Cameron said at the Commonwealth summit last year that countries receiving British aid should respect human rights, including gay rights.

The issue has re-emerged as Zimbabwe drafts a new constitution, with debate on whether to follow neighbouring South Africa's model and include gay rights in the charter.

Mugabe urged youths to reject any provision for gay rights in the new charter.

"We won't accept that," he said. "There are other countries who have accepted that and put it in their constitutions."

"Please, young men and women, you don't have the freedom for men to marry men and women to marry women. You have the freedom for men to marry women. That's God's freedom. That's what created you and me."

Mugabe has for decades ranted against homosexuality.

His latest attack came as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon repeated his calls for African countries to respect gay rights, during a visit to neighbouring Zambia.

"TOBI" A Nollywood Movie Shot In New York Excites Muma Gee And Other Nigerian Stars

If the buzz around the movie, TOBI (a Nigerian flick shot in New York) is anything to go by, then the Nigerian movie industry might be on the verge of witnessing one of its most exciting cinematic episodes since the days of Ije and Unwanted Guest. It therefore hardly came as a surprise when Nigeria's flamboyant singer, Muma Gee recently expressed her unreserved anticipation and excitement towards watching the movie. Previously, Mr. Nigeria 2007, Bryan Okwara had equally described the production of the TOBI, a Nigerian movie shot on the streets of New York as a remarkable feat for the producer, Emmanuel Ijeh and the nation as a whole. Muma Gee's marriage to Prince Eke finally took place in December 2011, after being shifted for her music video shoot in November. The drama in the movie, TOBI explores the consequences of what happens when 21-year-old Tobi (Mark Williams) bows to the dark side of gang pressure. In a flash, a seemingly morally upright young man gets caught in a web of violence, guns, bloodshed, drugs, parental expectations and conflicting voices in his head. Interestingly, the bond of brotherhood also stretches the thematic window of choices and sacrifice. The director, Bethels Agomuoh further bridges the gap between the Nollywood and Hollywood by shooting a Nigerian picture in the United States with a healthy blend of American and Nigerian cast. TOBI been scheduled to premiere in Nigerian cinemas on April 13, 2012 and will feature a red carpet premiere in Lagos.

Synopsis

This drama explores the consequences of what happens when 21-year-old Tobi (Mark Williams) bows to the dark side of gang pressure. In a flash, a seemingly morally upright young man gets caught in a web of violence, guns, bloodshed, drugs, parental expectations and conflicting voices in his head. Interestingly, the bond of brotherhood also stretches the thematic window of choices and sacrifice.

The director, Bethels Agomuoh further bridges the gap between the Nollywood and Hollywood by shooting a Nigerian picture in the United States with a healthy blend of American and Nigerian cast.CastMark Williams (as Tobi)Chet Bashari Anekwe (as Tobi's father)Chisom Oz-Lee (as Tobi's mother)Jimmy Allen (as Tobi's brother)Producer – Emmanuel IjehDirector – Bethels AgomuohReviewNot the kind of story that would instantly fire up the bolts of momentary anticipation but the dramatic twists, suspense and sterling interpretation of roles by some of the cast scores high on the pages of a dramatic epic. Ironically, in place of the main story, the theme of blood bonding between brothers and the cards of sacrifice and selflessness touch a more sensitive cord.

INTERVIEW: "Tu-Face Idibia" Still Not Certain If He Will Have Kids With Other Women

This is an interesting piece from Sun Online News. Our very dear Tu baba whose proposal to long time girl friend, Annie Macaulay is making a lot of waves at the moment, is saddled with so much uncertainty in this hilarious and surprising interview. Excerpts:


Q::::On marriage proposal to Annie ?
A:::::I think it's about time, I have known Annie for over 12 years, some things just made me realize that this is my woman and I couldn't deny it any more. When are we getting married? Don't worry, I will keep you posted. Some people think I should just continue living like this and not get married? Well, everybody has a right to their own opinion. And what other people think doesn't concern me. You don't have any authority over what others think. So for me, if that's what they think, I'm sorry.
****************
Q::::Annie and I soulmates?

A:::::All my women are very respectable. I can't answer that question because I have already proposed to who I want to be with and I won't want to create any type of answer that will be odd. Of course, Annie and I are soul-mates. We are mature people and I know that they understand my decision. Did I tell them about the decision? Of course, yes. Did they raise an issue? You know what; I don't want to answer the question, so, let's change the topic.
*******************
This is the shocker of all....

Q::::More kids from Tuface?
A::::Will I ever father another child from another woman? How do I answer this question? No, I am not going to answer that question. No, I did not say I won't have more kids. No, I didn't. Who knows? That's left in the hands of God.
*****************

Someone just said: Its all about self discipline and having a strong will-power.....how can he not answer the question with a clear response?

They may be two of Hollywood's most famous faces, but we're pleased to see Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria can still enjoy a girls' night out every now and then.

Victoria Beckham couldn't resist a cheeky smirk as she put her hands over Eva Longoria's very revealing dress. As they posed for a picture, Eva's breasts could have been seen by all and sundry if it wasn't for the former Spice Girl
and her quick thinking, Eva flashed a smile for the cameras while she held steady over Eva's breasts, which were now in no danger of making an appearance. What are friends for?

The pair hit Hollywood last night, arriving at Eva's trendy eatery Beso for a Vanity Fair party to support the actress's Eva Longoria Foundation.

Former FIFA Official, Amos Adamu Loses Appeal In FIFA World Cup Bribery Case

Former FIFA official Amos Adamu has lost his appeal against a three-year ban from soccer for seeking bribes during bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

According to Associated press:
The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a judgment by FIFA's ethics committee to expel Adamu from soccer until October 2013.

The panel said the ban "was relatively mild given the seriousness of the offense."

Adamu was secretly filmed by British undercover reporters asking for $800,000 to influence his World Cup vote. He said the money would pay for soccer fields in his native Nigeria.

The scandal implicated Adamu and five other senior officials, and plunged FIFA into turmoil weeks before the vote in December 2010.

74-Year-Old Fake Ghanaian Lawyer Jailed For Five Years In Nigeria

What remains? In Nigeria, we have fake policemen, fake doctor fake toothpaste, fake human beings, in fact, everything is fake. Fake drugs are killing both young and old people.

What is fake? Simply, something that is not genuine or authentic, counterfeit that produces contrary result from the original. The result are usually harmful to the victim.

In our country, most of these people that are involved in this evil act of imitation or faking have been smiling to the bank at the expense of innocent victims.

The Government, through security agencies have fought tooth and nail to put an end to the evil act, the fight seems endless, though. This is due to some security agents complicity.
At least the government have stood it ground in some areas. It has been paying off. We are trying to heave a sign of relieves in the case of fake drugs which prof. Dora Akuyili fought with passion to a stand still.
However, some foreigners in our land have now device another brand of Fake product. We now have fake Ghanian Lawyer in our soil doing business of fake legal practice. Surprisingly, a 74-year-old Ghanaian, Keinde Dodo, without honour has been operating fake chambers for over 15 years in Nigeria. Perhaps, appearing in court and announcing as a lawyer... "My lord, keinde Dodo for the accused..."

As they say, everyday for the thief one day for the owner. No wonder An Igbosere Magistrate's Court, Lagos on Thursday sentenced a Keinde Dodo, to five years imprisonment for pretending to be a lawyer and representing litigants in courts in Nigeria for 15 years.

For detail of this story click the link bellow

How come nobody suspected him all this while?

In legal practice we have legal languages which the bar and the bench understand somewhat exclusively. We have call mates, age, and even university attended are easy way to identify who is who in legal practice. Those in private employment are known by their class mates. And nobody ask Dodo who he was?
It simply means that nobody asks question and nobody cares these days anymore, except to pursue money senselessly with vigour.
Thanks to the eagle eyes of the policemen who couldn't miss the identity of the fake 74 years old lawyer with the genuine ones in our society.
Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has a lot of work to do.

BEAUTY THURSDAY:::10 Amazing Natural Hair Care Ingredients You've Never Thought About

BEAUTY THURSDAY:10 Amazing Natural Hair Care Ingredients You've Never Thought About

The list of ingredients on an average hair care product can be
overwhelming. Who knows what all those multi-syllabic chemicals actually do
to your hair? With natural hair care products, you can give your hair the
benefit of nature's own healing properties without all of the chemicals.

Below is a list of ten natural ingredients that have amazing properties for
cleaning, moisturizing, and healing your hair. Organic and unrefined
versions of these ingredients are best because they will contain the most
nutrients.

*1. Shea Butter* – Shea butter is an emollient, which means that it
provides a layer of oil on the surface of your hair and reduces the amount
of moisture that is lost when your hair dries. Shea butter is especially
good for hair that is dry and damaged because it "seals" in the moisture
and nourishes the hair.

*2. Coconut Oil – *Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that protect
against hair loss. It also contains Vitamin E, which keeps the scalp and
hair healthy. Coconut oil is another emollient that will keep hair
moisturised as well.

*3. Aloe Vera – *Aloe vera isn't just for sunburns – it can also treat many
hair problems. It cures dryness by adding moisture, which is actually
absorbed by the hair strands. This will also keep your hair looking healthy
and shiny. It also helps to moisturize a dry scalp.

*4. Vegetable Glycerin* – Vegetable glycerin is found in many hair products
because it is a strong humectant. This means that it easily retains water.
Like other natural hair care ingredients, it also creates a layer of oil on
the hair strand that holds in additional moisture.

*5. Jojoba Extract* – Jojoba is particularly good for treating dry, damaged
hair. It will relax and moisturize the scalp and prevent your hair from
getting split ends. If you have a problem with your hair being too oily,
jojoba can also dissolve some of the excess sebum clogging your hair
follicles.

Asa Drags Former Label Owner, KELVIN LUCIANO To Court For Releasing Her "DOWN WITH ME" Song

Asa Drags Former Label Owner, KELVIN LUCIANO To Court For Releasing Her
For popular star, Asa and her former music label owner, Mr. Kelvin Luciano Gabriel the battle has just begun.

The former friends will be digging it out in court anytime soon over what Asa tagged the infringement of her intellectual property by her former label owner.

Seriously only the court of law can settle this matter, Asa said through her rep.
In a letter, Asa's rep affirmed that they will take every legal means to secure what belong to them.
Keep moving to read the letter below:

 "It has come to our attention that a certain Nigerian Chronotech Limited (a CD factory) based in Lagos Nigeria is preparing to go into commercial production of a purported Asa music production titled 'Down On Me'.

The music production was purportedly authorised by Question Mark entertainment in partnership with marketer/ distributor MacKings Limited.

We wish to state categorically that Asa was not involved in this production in any form and the artiste's team is very shocked by this misrepresentation from Question Mark entertainment or MacKings Limited, two organisations with which she has no relationship whatsoever.

We also take this opportunity to notify individuals and
organisations that this production and the associated illegal use of the Asa trademark are a violation of her intellectual property. We have informed our lawyers and appropriate action will be taken against any individual, body or corporate entity associated with this.

We thank Nigerian Chronotech for its professionalism in this matter - and for promptly alerting Asa's management to confirm the authenticity of this production, and look forward to this professionalism from other Nigerian music industry stakeholders.

Asa continues to work hard on her music, and fans and the public will be promptly informed of any new releases through her management, publicist and other official channels"

Reggie Bush Gives Kim Kardashian Funny And Impossible Conditions For Them To Get Married!

These tabloids will not kill somebody with their screaming headlines.
On the current issue of In Touch magazine is a shocking cover story of Kim Kardashian's secret plans to elope with her Ex, Reggie Bush.

Obviously Kim's so-called secret plans are not entirely that secret since they are plastered all over the cover of this tabloid!

According to the tabloid: Reggie has promised to marry Kim but only if she can comply with some impossible conditions.

Which are:

1.) Reggie demands that Kim conclude her divorce form Kris quickly and quietly. (You will agree with me that this is looking to be a stumbling block since Kris is attempting to prove in court that he was frauded by Kim – he wants the marriage annulled and pre-nup keeping him muzzled rendered void.) Kim definitely wants to comply with Reggie on this condition of a quiet and quick divorce but will it be easy for the K family?

2.) Reggie also demands that Kim stay off the red carpet if she wants him as a husband.
Lol...Kim stay off the red carpet? Reggie might as well ask Kim to move to ranch or to give up wearing makeup!

But wait, for the mother of all conditions....
3.) Reggie insists that Kim give up reality TV!!!
To me and to many others this is equivalent to asking Kim to enter a coffin and bury herself.

I seriously hope this Reggie of a guy is not serious.

There is no doubt that the story that Kim turned to her former flame for some emotional support after her split from Kris Humphries was true after all.

It was learnt that when Reggie dropped the news to his mom Denise Griffin she was not pleased.

According to Celeb Dirty Laundry: Denise urged Reggie not to take Kim back. She is sure that Kim has ulterior motives and did not want to see the two of them hook up again.

Katty Perry Declares: "I Am Such A Fool" After Estranged Husband's Lover Is Revealed

According to the tabloid, she realises that her marriage was a Sham after finding out about her estranged husband, Russell's heavy partying and sleazy one-night stand.
And now that Russell's secret lover has been revealed, Katty feels that she had been a fool all the while. Little wonder Russell made a very disturbing video of his divorce ever before he filed for a divorce.

Kourtney Kardashian Is Expecting A Baby Girl

Its no news that Kourtney Kardashian and her long time boyfriend, Scott Disick are expecting another child after their first son, Mason. What is News now is that they have revealed the sex of the baby and its a baby girl according to OK! Magazine.
This by implication will mean that a new K is to be added to the list of the K sisters.
There has been rumours that Kourtney has been abandoned by Scott, which have kept people wondering how the Eldest Kardashian daughter and mother of one intends to cope with the pregnancy and single motherhood but she has disclosed to the tabloid that Scott did not at any point abandoned her and that the stories were all lies.

Kiss And Tell: Ex-Boyfriend, Ray J Exposes Kim Kardashian's "Bedroom Secrets" In His New Book

Kiss And Tell: Ex-Boyfriend, Ray J Exposes Kim Kardashian's
In the midst of a nasty divorce, Kim Kardashian gets another devastating blow as ex Ray J reveals intimate details about their relationship -- from her bedroom skills to her over-the-top spending-- in his new tell-all book.

"You just want to tell the truth," the book's co-author, Maxwell Billieon, tells Life & Style. "So that's what we did."
Kiss And Tell: Ex-Boyfriend, Ray J Exposes Kim Kardashian's

Death of the Cheating Man alleges that "KK," as Ray J calls her, pursued him and slept with him while she was still with her first husband, Damon Thomas, in 2004. While Kim has denied cheating on Damon, the shocking revelation may give Kim's estranged husband Kris Humphries more ammunition for his case, supporting the notion that Kim never intended to commit to her second hubby.

"She let me know she wanted to get with me," Ray J, an R&B singer, recalls in the book. "She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex."

Ray-J also reveals intimate details from Kim's how-to-win-a-man manual, like greeting him with hot towels and toothpaste on his toothbrush in the morning and lingerie fashion shows at night. The attentiveness grew to be too much, though. "She wanted to know where I was at all times," Ray J writes. "She literally thought I was cheating with every girl I ran across."

To Kim's horror, her onetime beau was, in fact, sleeping around, but Ray J suspected his jealous girlfriend was cheating, too. "I had no respect for her," he harshly admits.

"Kim's putting on a brave face, but she's furious about Ray J cashing in on her," a friend tells Life & Style. "There's so much that has gone wrong for her this year -- he's just another person trying to humiliate her."
