Politics / Obama Demands Information On Yar’adua’s Health by amebono1: 10:15am On Mar 01, 2010
US President Barack Obama‘s administration has put an urgent request to Aso Rock: What is the condition of President Umaru Yar’Adua‘s health?

A US-based Nigerian news agency, Empowered Newswire, reported that after a US government statement, issued by the State Department on Friday, an answer to the American request is still being awaited. This is amid growing concern in Washington DC about the future of Nigeria, especially since last week‘s sudden return of Nigeria‘s ailing President.

According to a daily US government bulletin circulated among top US government officials and a handful of interested reporters, “The US diplomats in Abuja have asked Nigerian officials about Yar‘Adua‘s condition.”

Although the Americans are yet to get a response, the government bulletin said the US was aware that the Nigerian “President is in ‘dire health’ and is unable to govern the country.”

It is believed that based on US intelligence and diplomatic reports, the Americans knew clearly that Yar’Adua was in no condition to return to his seat because of the seriousness of his medical problems.

This explains why the US sent its Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Mr. Johnnie Carson, to meet with Acting President Goodluck Jonathan recently to assure him of America’s support.

That knowledge, it is also believed, influenced a series of US government activities on Nigeria like the US Senate’s hearing last Tuesday on the matter and the press availability of top US officials dealing with Nigeria this past week.

The daily US government bulletin quoted a top State Department official as saying, “We do have concerns about his movement from Saudi Arabia back into Nigeria and what some people around him might be trying to do with that.”

The US official also added that this was “the basis of the warnings that have been issued from Washington to Nigeria in recent days.”

The bulletin was titled, “Concern in Washington over Nigerian Political Stability” and was written as a news story by a US State Department official, Mr. Stephen Kaufman.

According to Kaufman, “The Obama administration has concerns over the stability of Nigeria and says that while it welcomes the return of incapacitated President Umaru Yar‘Adua, the country needs a ‘strong and effective leader’ in charge.”

The bulletin also quoted the US Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, P.J. Crowley, as saying on Friday that ”what‘s important first and foremost is who is , the recognised leader of Nigeria,, and right now I believe it is Acting President Goodluck Jonathan.”

According to Crowley, as quoted in the bulletin, the US is concerned that Yar’Adua’s return could be “an effort by his senior advisers to upset Nigeria‘s stability in an effort to forward their personal interests.”

Crowley added, “We have tremendous concern about stability. And our message to all of the players in Nigeria is: make sure that this moves forward in a stable, constitutional and democratic way. Nigeria at this point needs a strong and effective leader to ensure the stability of the country and to manage Nigeria‘s many political, economic and security challenges.”

Carson had earlier stated that the US had determined that Nigeria could be ignored or dismissed, hinting that the US would likely continue being particularly outspoken until the matter was completely resolved in Aso Rock.

On Wednesday, President Yar’Adua’s spokesman, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi, issued a statement addressing Goodluck as Vice-President instead of Acting President. This drew the ire of some Nigerians and Nigeria‘s foreign partners like the US, which issued a prompt statement openly rebuking a situation whereby some senior advisers were trying to turn the President‘s return into an opportunity to promote their selfish ambitions.

The US statement reacting to the sudden return specifically raised doubts about the President‘s medical fitness, forcing Adeniyi to retract the statement the following day and address Jonathan as Acting President.

Celebrities / Harry Porter Author Fights Plagiarism Claim by amebono1: 7:47am On Feb 21, 2010
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has said she will ask a court to dismiss plagiarism claims against her popular series of books, branding the allegations "unfounded" and "absurd".

Multi-millionaire Rowling has been named in a lawsuit claiming she stole ideas for her stories about a young wizard from another British author.

"We will be applying to the court immediately for a ruling that the claim is without merit and should therefore be dismissed without delay," she said Thursday.

Representatives of the estate of the late Adrian Jacobs claim Rowling's book Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire copied parts of one of Jacobs' books about the character Willy the Wizard.

On Wednesday they added Rowling as a defendant to an ongoing legal claim against Bloomsbury, her British publisher.

Rowling hit back, saying she had never heard of Jacobs or read the book before the plagiarism claims emerged.

"I am saddened that yet another claim has been made that I have taken material from another source to write Harry," she said.

"The fact is I had never heard of the author or the book before the first accusation by those connected to the author's estate in 2004; I have certainly never read the book."

"The claims that are made are not only unfounded but absurd and I am disappointed that I, and my (British) publisher Bloomsbury, are put in a position to have to defend ourselves," she added.

The lawsuit concerns Jacobs' book The Adventures Of Willy the Wizard No 1: Livid Land.

The estate first came forward with its claim in 2004 but Bloomsbury said it had been unable to identify any text in the Potter books that had been copied.

The fortunes of Rowling, 44, from her books about the boy wizard stand at 499 milion pounds ($A853.71 million), according to last year's Sunday Times Rich List.

Celebrities / Toni Payne Divorces 9ice On Stage by amebono1: 2:29pm On Feb 20, 2010
She didn’t have to say much. Well, maybe she didn’t have much to say. The five minute or less that erstwhile wife of pop singer 9ice, Toni Payne Akande, spent on The Future Awards stage last Sunday would have passed without strings until she ended her talk by introducing herself without her marital suffix- Akande.

The self-assertive independent entrepreneur and talent manager had come up stage to introduce Kefee’s performance, which she did well reciting her well-memorised script and then finishing up with the rude shock-  ‘I’m Toni Payne’. This is coming in her first major public appearance holding about six weeks after the press release announcing her separation from husband, Abolore Akande aka, 9ice.

And while fans of the couple, especially those of 9ice who initially applauded the union, are busy hoping and praying for a re-union, wife Toni is busy having a ball and showing it off to those who care to see, consciously omitting the last name that once made her headlines. If her actions and gestures are not a facade, then optimists of the couples reunion may need a miracle to see their prayers answered.

Abolore and Toni (Nee Payne)were married at a Surulere registry in Lagos in August, 2008. They are blessed with a baby boy, Zion.

Celebrities / Gender Battle After Tiger Woods Apology by amebono1: 2:07pm On Feb 20, 2010
While everyone seemed to agree that Tiger Woods' televised apology Friday morning was heavily scripted, reactions to the speech were a mixed bag, and in many cases, women and men seemed to differ about the effectiveness of the press conference.



After Tiger's apology aired on all major networks, cable news outlets, and the Web, the TV commentators weighed in. Among those reactions, the men seemed almost unanimous in their opinion that the world's richest athlete had given an effective apology. ABC's George Stephanopoulos expressed awe, calling the speech "one of the most remarkable public apologies ever by a public figure."



CBS' David Feherty, a longtime Woods watcher, agreed: "I have never seen him appear so vulnerable. , I was very impressed with what he said." TMZ's Harvey Levin concurred, Twittering that Tiger's speech "hit the right notes. In a big way." Donald Trump went so far as to express disappointment that Woods even apologized in the first place, telling Forbes "I hate seeing Tiger apologize. I'd much rather see Tiger go out and win tournaments and have a great life."



But the commentary from female viewers was far less fawning and much more cynical. Even before the speech aired, the women-focused blog Double X declared, "Women will never forgive Tiger." After the speech, Fox News commentator Greta Van Susteren offered sharp criticism of the golf pro's apology, saying: "Tiger Woods telling media to be good and responsible to his wife, he is telling OTHERS to be good to his wife? Maybe he should have been?"



Jezebel.com praised Tiger's defense of his wife Elin, but questioned Tiger's motives for the apology, saying, "This — along with his now-notorious 'failings' — makes it hard for me to fully believe anything he says." Patti Stanger, star of Bravo's "The Millionaire Matchmaker" wasn't buying it either, tweeting: "That was a ploy to save sponsors. I can read body language. He's not sorry. I bet he called Rachel Uchitel this morning."



And it wasn't just professional commentators who didn't buy Tiger's "sorry" act. The Orlando Sentinel (Tiger's local paper) rounded up reactions from female members of Tiger's community, and the consensus was that the speech was not enough to make women believe in Tiger again: "I think he doesn't understand that he should have gone through six months of therapy and then come apologize," one female resident noted. Gawker's Doree Shafrir's reaction was especially eviscerating. Calling the speech "robotic and forced," and "excruciating to watch," Shafrir speculated that Elin's absence signaled that "clearly he needs her more than she needs him."

My gf's and I say this all the time
That is my story too.
The day I met my guy and we spent a whole day together, I knew he wanted to marry me ,he proposed in about 4 months and the traditional igbankwu followed immediately.
That is what serious men do
not people like[b] Sauron and pataki [/b] that'll be dating a girl for donkey years without her even knowing their middle or last names grin

Yea, cos i remember when he proposed, i was like " excuse me, i just met you, i dont even know you" and then he said " i wanna date and know you whilst we are married" my dear i did not even have the time to plan a wedding, cos the guy was so obsessed so tey him no give me time, i remember i had to leave sometime in my second semester to travel back to naija cheesy , infact na after second semester, i go for honeymoon

When a man meets the woman he wants osisi i tell you the only words that keeps ringing or beating a drum in his ears are " go for her, else someone else will take away from you"

When i read stories here of gurls dat have dated their men for 5 yrs not to even talk of 10 sef, i ask myself, " did someone blindfold this gurl or sthg" deep inside their heart, they know that time is running and they've decided to console themselves wit words like " i wanna finish school, before i marry" when they finish school they change their words to " i wanna enjoy life to the fullest and do things before i get married"

I personally cannot even date a guy for 2 yrs back then, seriously undecided

And i always say this, been married will not stop you from going to school,as long as you marry that person that is truly yours, he or she will amke the road smooth for you, i finished school in my husbands house, and i will never regret getting married in my early teens
Romance / Re: How To Know The Nigerian Man You're Dating Is Not Ready For Marriage by amebono1: 1:28am On Feb 18, 2010
Osisi i agree with everything but, the meeting his mother aspect, alot of men have gone as far as proposing to a gurl, meeting her family just to get inbtw her legs, there is this guy in europe who's introduced if not a million girls to his mum,and the mum knows that this dude is just out there to sleep with women, introducing to mum is not a guarantee to marriage, introducing to the whole family member is not a guarantee to marriage, i was introduced to someones family members and even had his mum begging me to come to the east to spend some time with her, at the end of the day i married someone else

I've seen couples separate after trad wedding, men of these days can even go along with the wedding plans until hes gotten what he wants

I agree with chika on the part of a guy being excited when he meets the right woman and wants to marry her ASAP, i did not date my husband for up to 3 months before he proposed

In all if a girl isnt ready to be deceived the best thing is keep your legs closed, even if the guy leaves you tomorrow, sucide will be far from your mind

Celebrities / Jennifer Aniston & Gerard Butler: Hot Romance Back On by amebono1: 1:22pm On Feb 12, 2010
Jennifer Aniston, you looked so hot in your black leggy dress at The Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 17 that your co-presenter and on-and-off love interest Gerard Butler couldn’t keep his hands off you!
Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler didn’t just turn up the heat on stage — where Jen put her head on Gerard’s shoulder — at the Golden Globes, they were seen out off-stage as well! “After they presented, they were drinking Moet backstage,” a source told the New York Post. “At one point, they were making out in the kitchen. They were attached at the hip all night. They definitely seemed very couple-y.”

The duo, who are co-stars in The Bounty, were rumored to be together when they were filming last summer. They were seen out for dinner several times.

And PopEater’s Rob Shuter reported today that the pair have shot an erotically-charged cover spread for W magazine in an upcoming issue. “Jennifer is wearing nothing but sexy silk stockings and lingerie,” reports PopEater, “while Gerry (that’s what Jen calls him) is a leather-clad New York City cop in the sexy X-rated pictures that are about to be revealed.” The pair will have plenty of time to spend time together while they promote it all over the globe in advance of its March 19 release.

It’s not surprising that Jen would be hard to resist in her revealing black Valentino gown with a side slit so high it revealed her black underwear at one point. There was plenty of speculation that Jen dressed so hot with the purpose of catching her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s eye while she presented for award for best screenplay, a category in which his film Inglourious Basterds was nominated.

Jen must relish looking so hot as she approaches her 41st birthday on Feb. 11. At least “Gerry” is closer in age at 40 than her previous paramour John Mayer, 32.

Watch out Jen, because Gerard has a big reputation in Hollywood, and even was spied giving the eye to Kate Hudson on the red carpet before his hot hookup with Jen backstage.

Celebrities / John Mayer Confesses! I Loved Jen Aniston ‘completely’ — And Jessica Simpson Was by amebono1: 1:20pm On Feb 12, 2010
[size=16pt]John Mayer Confesses! I Loved Jen Aniston ‘Completely’ — And Jessica Simpson Was Sexual ‘Crack Cocaine![/size]


Would YOU ever date John Mayer after this tell-all interview he gave to Playboy? He spilled ALL the intimate details about his relationships with Jen and Jessica!
Wait ’til Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston read this! Their ex-boyfriend (emphasis on ex) John Mayer tells Playboy in its March issue all about them — no holds barred.

For starters, John goes deep into his relationship with Jen, saying he was completely in love with her, and says breaking up with an American sweetheart was “akin to burning an American flag.”

John says, “I had a conversation about fame with Jen [Aniston] before we ever really stepped out in public. She said, ‘Do you understand what this entails?’ Two weeks later I had people outside my house. I was smart enough to know it would probably make me a salable item for the paparazzi.” Um, is trying to say he dated her for the paparazzi attention??

He even spills more of his intimate secrets with Jen, saying that after she heard the record Battle Studies Jen asked, “What’s that line? That’s not about me, is it?”

John calls Jen, “The most communicative, sweetest, kindest person. When people hear the record, I hope the songs make them think about their lives, not my life. Like, when you listen to Coldplay, do you think about Gwyneth Paltrow? I don’t write songs in order to stick it to my exes. I don’t release underground dis tracks.”

And THEN, after blabbing on and on about Jen, he says, “We just have a regard for each other’s feelings that is pretty intense. It’s been a deep relationship, and it’s no longer taking place at all. Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?

Then John moves on to another ex, Jessica Simpson! ”That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren’t good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me … Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm.”

John, can’t you EVER just keep your lips zipped?!

There’s much, much more there — so check it out on Playboy.com and in the March issue of Playboy on stands now!

Celebrities / British Celeb Designer Found Dead by amebono1: 12:34am On Feb 12, 2010

LONDON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead at his home on Thursday, just over a month before his 41st birthday.

"He was found dead this morning," McQueen's communications director Samantha Garrett told Reuters by telephone.

Who magazine: McQueen's celebrity fans

The British designer, whose wild creations rocketed him to the top of the fashion world, died days before the start of London Fashion Week and ahead of Paris Fashion Week, where he was set to unveil his new collection on March 9.

A statement released by his office -- referring to the designer by his given first name, Lee -- read: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home.

"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.

"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."

Follow Yahoo!7 on Twitter

Born in London on March 17, 1969 as the youngest of six children, McQueen left school at the age of 16 and gained an apprenticeship at the traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shephard, moving on to neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes.

The former British Designer of the Year winner eventually gained a masters degree in fashion design from London's prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

In 1996, the man nicknamed "the hooligan of English fashion," with his close-cropped hair, Doc Marten boots and shocking designs, was named head designer at the staid Paris couture house Givenchy.

His first collection for Givenchy was not widely considered to be a success, but he went on to establish his own label, drawing in fans, customers and fame and earning a place on the top catwalks of Paris.

The Alexander McQueen fashion design house is part of the Gucci group of brands owned by French retailer and luxury goods group PPR. (Reporting by Paul Casciato; editing by Andrew Roche)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Have 'Definitely Split,' 'Brangelina' Author Says


With conflicting reports circulating saying that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are split, and then denials claiming they're still together also coming from all angles, it can be very confusing. In the hopes of clearing up any Brangelina-based fog, PopEater reached out to author Ian Halperin, whose recent book 'Brangelina' predicted the demise of the supercouple and went into the inner-workings of their lives. Halperin tells PopEater that he's confirmed the couple have indeed split, and even predicts how the drama will unfold in the media over the next few weeks.

Celebrities / Brangelina Suing Tabloid Over Split Reports by amebono1: 1:34pm On Feb 10, 2010
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still together -- and they've now taken legal action against the British tabloid that claimed otherwise.

The A-list couple is suing News of the World over its report that the stars were broken up and dividing their fortune.

"The News of the World has failed to meet our clients' reasonable demands for a retraction of and apology for these false and intrusive allegations, which have now been widely republished by mainstream news outlets. We have advised them to bring proceedings, which they have now done," Brangelina's London attorney Keith Schilling says, The Guardian reports.

Several weeks ago, News of the World claimed Brad and Angelina had met with a lawyer in December to discuss the division of their combined millions and custody of their six children -- Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

"However, in this case we can confirm unequivocally, and upon instructions, that the allegations published by the News of the World are false as well as intrusive," their lawyer adds.

Although the pair hadn't been seen together much in recent months, since the News of the World story broke, they've been spotted at the Director's Guild Awards as well as this weekend's Super Bowl in Miami.

Celebrities / Emma Watson Named Hollywood's Highest Paid Actress by amebono1: 1:13pm On Feb 06, 2010



Emma Watson is Hollywood's highest earning actress. The Harry Potter star's annual bankroll for 2009 was $30 million, according to a report compiled by Vanity Fair magazine.

At just 19, Watson's career has infinite possibilities. Her earnings are based largely on her work in the 'Harry Potter' series as Hermione, and the fact that the series' finale is coming in two parts - for which Watson pulled in $15 million per film.

Watson edged out Cameron Diaz by 10 percent, who pulled in $27 million. Sarah Jessica Parker, Katherine Heigl and Reese Witherspoon followed thereafter.

For many years, industry stalwarts like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston topped the actress earnings list.

However, Watson's new rise to the top of the Vanity Fair's Top 40 Hollywood earners signifies a shift away from this.

On the flip side, Watson's 'Harry' co-star Daniel Radcliffe ranks among the top 6 in all of Hollywood, earning $41 million in 2009 according to the list. Of that whopping sum, $40 million was from his work on the 'Potter' films ($20 mil each) and then an extra million thanks to royalties.

Transformers director Michael Bay is top after earning $125 million. He is followed by Steven Spielberg, Roland Emmerich, James Cameron and Todd Phillips.
