President Jonathan Rocks Out With D'banj's Beat by Dre Headset, Is This Proper?

Posted in: ,

I can't help thinking how this looks. Is President Jonathan now promoting Beats By Dre? The president was pictured with D'banj at the launch of the Youth Employment In Agricultural Programme #YEAP that held in Abuja, and just before Dbanj performed, he called up the president and presented him with the Beats By Dre customized headset.

President Jonathan seemed to be enjoying the sound as he stands beside Remo Omokri to listen to the performance. Dbanj had recently received the complimentary headset from the makers to promote their brand. What do you think, no protocols broken? More pictures below...

Posted in: , ,

Lola Omotayo Okoye opened up at the recently held Kinabuti Dare2Dream Project in Lagos where she was invited to address young girls. Lola felt the best example she could give, was to use a certain aspect of her life to explain herself better to the girls.

She explained how a priest molested her while in high school, how bitter she was to herself and the reasons she couldn’t tell anyone including her family who loves her so much. She later met another man in life, and the story repeated itself before finally meeting Peter of P-Square and the rest as they say is history.

More than 130 people, and over 100 of them children, have been killed in a Pakistani Taliban attack at an army school in Peshawar, according to local officials.

Six or more attackers, dressed in army uniform, mounted the assault on the school for the children of army personnel shortly after 11am. Hundreds were in the school at the time, the Guardian reports.

The attackers, some of them wearing suicide vests, managed to get into the school from the roof of a van parked next to a wall that abuts a graveyard, according to local police. They began firing at random. Another blew himself up as security guards approached.

Disturbing! Dead Whale Washes Ashore Lagos Beach, Immediately Butchered [Photos]

Posted in: , , ,

In a somewhat disturbing turn of events, an unknown specie of whale which washed ashore at Eleko Beach in Lagos was immediately cut up by locals who intended to eat it.

I say disturbing because no one knows how the whale came to be washed onto the beach. Usually, only sick whales get beached, and without study, no one knows if the diseases that floored the whale could be transmitted to human beings. So people be careful what fish or meat you buy or eat in Lagos this week.
