Posted in: , , ,

Sometimes you just have to pity these celebrities. Last week, Justin Bieber was pictured having a good time with Selena Gomez, his off-again, on-now girlfriend, in his hometown of Ontario in Canada.

The two took turns to ride an ATV and now reports are that Justin Bieber got arrested after crashing the vehicle into a minivan driven by paparazzi - and he now faces charges of dangerous driving and assault.

Bieber was taken into custody Friday afternoon in Perth County, Ontario. Police say there was a physical altercation between Justin and a paparazzo in the minivan ... after they had the collision.

Police say Justin was released and will have to appear in court later this month.

Posted in: , ,

A new video has been released that appears to show the beheading execution of Steven Sotloff, the second American journalist killed by a self-professed member of the Islamic terror group ISIS.

ABC News reports that in the video, which appeared online today, Sotloff speaks calmly as the black clad militant holds a knife casually at his side. Sotloff addresses the camera, saying,

Pictures of Oyakhilome Daughters Surface as Man Sends Open Letter To Pastor Anita on Divorce

Posted in: , , ,

Charlene and Sharon Oyakhilome are the UK-based daughters of  Pastor Chris and Anita Oyakhilome. The older sister, Sharon celebrated her 21st birthday last month, and is a fast-rising gospel singer with the stage name Carissa Sharon Oyakhilome (CSO).

Pastor Anita Oyakhilome, the girl's mother,  had recently filed for divorce from her estranged husband, and the founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Speculations of the split between the couple came to light after church members in London sympathetic to their Pastor Anita, had set up a Facebook page calling out Pastor Chris for being un-Christian in his marriage, and how he has been treating Pastor Anita in the church.

Following the revelation in the press that it was actually Pastor Anita that filed for divorce, Mr Emeka Asinugo, a London-based journalist, has sent out an open letter addressed to her.

Posted in: ,

The Alaafin of Oyo Kingdom, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, with his four beautiful wives were all together as he celebrated his 76th birthday in London on Sunday, 31st August, 2014.

A photo of them at the airport last weekend while leaving Nigeria went viral on the internet as many commenters wondered how they have managed to live together, and some attributing their harmony either to a facade on the part of the women, or because the man has enough money for all.

What do you think? Do you know of many polygamous families where there appears to be such peace and accord?

Nigerian Woman Gives Birth To White Baby In Rare Odds That Shocked Even Doctors

Posted in: , , , , ,

32 year old Nigerian woman, Catherine Howarth was convinced she was handed the wrong child when midwives presented her with her new baby shortly after she gave birth at a Milton Keynes Hospital on June 1st.

And it wasn’t only baby Jonah’s parents who were stunned, so were the midwives.

“The midwife looked at me and looked back down at Jonah and then at me again and couldn’t believe it. The doctors confirmed it was extremely rare."
