Legendary reggae artiste Ras Kimono performed alongside his daughter, Oge Kimono last night at Afropolitan Vibe, a live music concert series held in Lagos. The ‘Under Pressure’ crooner is a father of five children. Oge is his first daughter. While fans were in hyper mood some think the way the father held his daughter was a little too intimate for them to swallow. Another pic after the cut..

After Nigeria lost to the United States 1–0 in a Group D Women’s World Cup match on Tuesday night, Falcon coach Edwin Okon apparently refused to shake hands with American coach Jill Ellis.

Now he’s being dragged by foreign media. I saw one in particular titled ‘Meet Nigeria’s handshake snubbing, no scouting, all praying embarrassment of a coach” which I found hilarious…though a little disrespectful which was published on Slate. Read after the cut…

Outrage after Charleston judge tells relatives of murdered churchgoers that the killer’s family are also victims

The judge who arraigned Dylann Roof sparked outrage when he referred to the 21-year-old’s family as ‘victims’ and urged the community to ‘rally round them’. Charleston County Magistrate James Gosnell Jr told the court on Friday:

 ‘We have victims – nine of them. But we also have victims on the other side. There are victims on this young man’s side of the family.’

The bizarre statement prompted outcry from the victims’ families in the public gallery, and a torrent of complaints branding him ‘insensitive’ and ‘racist’.

 

And it has since emerged that the judge was reprimanded in 2003 for using the n-word in court, when he told a black defendant: ‘There are four kinds of people in this world – black people, white people, red necks, and n—rs.’

Gosnell was hauled before the Supreme Court for using the n-word in a bond reduction hearing, and two days later unlawfully ordered the release of a fellow judge caught drunk driving. For both, he was merely reprimanded and has remained Chief Magistrate ever since.

He opened the court yesterday with his appeal for people to support Roof’s family, adding: ‘Nobody would have ever thrown them into the whirlwind of events that they are being thrown into. We must find it in our heart at some point in time not only to help those that are victims but to also help his family as well.’ 
He then charged Roof, whose grandfather C Joseph Roof is a prominent lawyer in North Carolina, with nine counts of murder.

Reacting to Gosnell’s statement on Friday, Twitter users erupted in rage at his ‘insensitive’ and even ‘racist’ approach to the case.
Mia Farrow, the actress, tweeted: ‘Judge James Gosnell of #Charleston is obviously part of the problem. Jesus Christ!!!!’
A user called MiMi wrote: ‘Judge Gosnell DONE lost his mind. Right now, who gives a damn! His family bought the murder weapon! #DylannRoof’
And one named Elizabeth said: ‘Watching Judge James Gosnell lecture the families of victims in court re: sympathy for Roof family made me sick. Racism not thinly veiled.’

Yesterday, MTN announced that they had dropped Wizkid, Timaya and Sean Tizzle, D’Prince as their brand ambassadors. But according to what I gathered, Wizkid actually moved to Globacom 4 weeks ago after complaining that MTN was delaying payment and mostly because Glo offered him more to be their ambassador. He signed a 2-year deal with Glo said to be over N100million.

Rappers Naeto C and Lynxxx have been dropped by the telecoms giant. Some ambassadors were dropped because Glo wanted to bring in more guys so they needed to decongest. I hear comedian Bovi, AY, Yoruba actor Odunlade Adekola and actor OC Ukeje have also joined Glo.

She’s 49 & still looks incredibly good. The pop star popped up at LA Airport on Wednesday, rocking a black top, matching harem pants, white sneakers and a whole lotta curly hair. She was with her with her husband of three-years, Wissam Al Mana, who also wore black outfit and white sneakers.

Ms Jackson is set to hit the road for her first tour in four years in August with a new album due out shortly after. More photos after the cut…

Let me first start by saying a very happy birthday to Mr Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, one of those rare human beings we see once in a life time. He’s a year older today. Wishing him many more beautiful years ahead. In a new interview with journalists, he opened about on his age, family and not living according to norms of society. He said;

“I’m not particular about how old or young the number is. What I care about is the age of my mind and then the age of my body.From my look, my energy and all, I feel 35 or slightly younger. That is the age of my mind. Going by my experiences, my responsibilities, my wisdom and all, I should be about 87 years old,”
“I dress the way I feel. My happy moments are when my usefulness is engaged, when I see the influence I bring into people’s lives, when I’m able to add value and make a measurable contribution to individuals and society.

He also says he never sees cherished ones off to the airport..

“I hate to say goodbye. I find it hard to do so. That’s why you may not find me seeing cherished people to the airport unless we are travelling together. Same for my relationships. I love forever.”

On his children,he said

“Unlike some parents who can’t truly love more than a child at a time, I love all my children in different ways and I see a bit of me in all of them, up to my siblings, grandchildren and all. Family is really what I have been blessed with, and my happiest moments have been family times,”

On regrets in life..

“Regrets don’t exist in my dictionary. I live life on the edge and to change it would mean doing things in traditional or conventional ways. To do that, for me, is to give up the ghost. If it’s not daunting and scary, it certainly is not for me.”

The girl pictured above and identified as Ruqayyat said she was duped of N14,000 inside a banking hall in Lagos on Wednesday June 17th. According to her story, she said she went into a banking hall along Opebi road, Lagos to pay N14, 000 when she was approached by a man dressed in a suit pretending to be working at the bank.

She said the man asked her to give him the money she wanted to deposit and her filled deposit slip so he can facilitate the process quickly. She said the man also asked her if she had filled her bank verification number BVN form which ends this month. When she replied no, the man gave her a form to fill and then proceeded to help her pay her money at the teller point.

Done with filling the BVN form, Ruqayatt said she looked up to give the man the form and also find out if he’d paid her money but he was no where in the banking hall.

Realizing what happened, Ruqayyat began crying. She said the money was meant for her boss who she’d just started working with less than two weeks ago

“The money belongs to my boss. I have just been employed two weeks ago and I don’t know where to get a refund for her,” she said sobbingly. Many bank customers were in disbelief about Rukayat’s story, while a bank security guard ordered her out of the hall” – she told Newsbreak
