  • isaiah washington leaves grey's anatomy under controversial circumstances.

  • the real- life malfunction of most hollywood starlets- britney spears, lindsay lohan, micha barton(dui), paris hilton, jamie lynn, vanessa hudgens... on and on... and on and on.. and on and on.. lol

.......and in nigeria and rest of africa



  • pipeline fire in agbagbo , lagos kills.. official release..28.. figure ranges from 28- over 200... wow

  • 4 states have their elections anulled including.. gombe, kogi, rivers.

  • kenyan elections

  • jacob zuma, south africa's vice president who is currently facing allegations of corruption, becomes the new leader of the ANC party.

special adress.


megan williams, a 20 year old african american female, was abducted by suspected white supremasists and subjected to torture beyond the scope of human understanding.


she was raped repeatedly by six people including 3 men and 3 women between the ages 20-49, was stabbed in different places, had her hair pulled out and was forced to eat rat and dog shit. she was also choked with cords and beaten for a whole week before she finally got the chance to escape and look for help.


her crime??? for being BLACK!


she was held in a remote cabin off the main road and no one even hrd her cry for help until she managed to escape wen her kidnappers were all out. she is presently in hospital recieveing treatment and her abductors are facing charges of kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and battery. if found guilty, they afce up to 40 or more years in jail with their jail term running concurrently.


you might ask why these things happen??


no one knows! we only pray we dont get faced with such a situation ever! amin.

Tot I’d add a few more stuff for u…

MOMENTS IN 2007 in Nigeria, Africa and the World.
Members of the Nigerian House of Representatives chose Mrs. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh last June to become Nigeria's first ever female speaker. She resigned barely 5months into her appointment amid a monumental scandal of N628 million she approved without due process to renovate both hers and her deputy’s official residence.

Also in Nigeria:
Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili was made VP of the World Bank African region while Dr. Ngozi-Okonjo Iweala was appointed MD of the World Bank.
Mr. Rotimi Adebari, became the first black mayor in Ireland.
The Junior Eagles dazzled the world winning the under 21 world cup by beating Brazil, Argentina and Germany.

Liberia's top government minister, Willis Knuckles, also had to resign over a sex scandal in early 2007.

John Browne, an iconic figure in British business who helped make BP into one of the world's most successful businesses, abruptly stepped down as chief executive after losing a legal battle to keep secret details of his personal life. (He was Gay).
BP said Browne's resignation would mean he would lose a bonus worth more than £3.5 million, or $7 million, and would forfeit inclusion in a long-term performance share plan for 2007-2009 worth up to £12 million.

Last week......
The murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, one of Pakistan's most famous and enduring politicians.
Bhutto was the best known political figure in Pakistan, serving two terms as prime minister between 1988 and 1996. She bore the legacy of her hanged father and was respected in the West for her liberal outlook and determination to combat Islamic extremism.
