Wendy Williams Disses Beyonce's Sick Crap Again


Except for Wendy Williams, because she apparently has no idea what she's talking about. And from a woman who normally passes some pretty unafraid judgements on anything, she sure is playing terribly dumb when it comes to talking about Beyonce's repugnant, hate-inciting performance, complete with Black Panther-inspired outfits and anti-law enforcement agendas. You're smarter than at least that, Wendy Williams. What, you afraid the "Illuminati" is going to come after you, too, if you speak your mind? Girl, please. You're a coward, Wendy. And you damn well know better than this ... and it's been proven time and time again -- weren't you the one who said, "You know Beyonce can't talk. Beyonce sounds like she has a 5th grade education. She can't talk. Honestly. We really do have the closed captioning for times like that." Nothing like flip-flopping when it suits your own agenda. The ridiculousness starts at the 13:00 mark, if you can get through it all Case in point ... don't support things without looking at them with an open mind. There's also another contingent of folks who aren't happy with things ... so much so that they've gone and organized an anti-Beyonce protest rally at NFL headquarters in New York City. The event page reads "Join us as we demonstrate on the block of the NFL Headquarters building. Are you offended as an American that Beyoncé pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl? Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Do you agree that the Black Panthers was/is a hate group which should not be glorified? Come and let's stand together. Let's tell the NFL we don't want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!" Frightening. This entire thing, from all of the aspects, is completely and utterly frightening

Stevie J to Nick Cannon I Banged Mariah Twice




Nick Cannon got more than he bargained for when some "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" stars went on his show and one bragged about banging his estranged wife.
Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez were guests on "Wild 'N Out" Monday when the 2 ex-lovebirds squared off during the rap battle against Nick and his crew. It started out all fun and games, but got progressively nasty. At one point Stevie J said he banged Mariah Carey not once but twice.
Nick got pissed off, and then told Stevie J he should worry about Joseline because she was sleeping with Rick Ross.
It got down and dirtier, to the point Nick threatened the old Hollywood adage, "You'll never work in this town again," because he has so many TV shows and connections.
Eyewitnesses tell us it looked like they were about to come to blows, so producers stepped in, separated them and calmed them down. The picture we got tells part of the story

Texas couple takes Nigerian nanny to the US then turns her into a slave

A Houston-area couple is accused of forcing a Nigerian woman to care for their five children and home without pay during a two-year period in which she was physically and verbally abused, made to work nearly 20 hours a day and told to sleep on the floor, federal authorities say.

Chudy and Sandra Nsobundu were arrested Monday on charges of forced labor, withholding documents, conspiracy to harbor an illegal immigrant and visa fraud. Authorities say the couple seized the nanny's passport, so she was unable to leave.
The 38-year-old nanny, whose full name is not given in the criminal complaint, told authorities she was promised $100 per month but has never been paid in her two years working for the Nsobundus in their home in the Houston suburb of Katy
She regularly endured physical and verbal abuse and was not treated like a human being," the criminal complaint said. Sandra Nsobundu, 50, made her initial court appearance Tuesday morning in federal court in Houston. She was granted an unsecured bond by U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson and was set to be released later Tuesday. Her attorney, Joan Nwuli, declined to comment after the court hearing.
Chudy Nsobundu, 56, was set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Court records did not list an attorney for him.
The Nsobundus each face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
Ruben Perez, one of the federal prosecutors handling the case, said after the hearing that the nanny was "enslaved" by her employers. Perez said cases in which immigrants and others are forced to work in homes in harsh conditions as nannies or caretakers are more common than people think.

"We know they are out there. When it comes to our attention we'll act on them," he said.The nanny, who was living in Lagos, Nigeria, moved to Texas to live with the Nsobundus in September 2013, according to the criminal complaint. The Nsobundus are naturalized U.S. citizens originally from Nigeria

The complaint said the nanny would work every day from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., couldn't take breaks and had to eat leftovers and not fresh food, including being forced to only drink milk left in bowls in which the children had eaten cereal. She also couldn't take hot showers, according to the complaint.

The nanny alleged Sandra Nsobundu repeatedly hit her if she thought the nanny wasn't doing her job correctly. The complaint said Sandra Nsobundu is accused of once striking the nanny across the face with a slipper and threatening to "shoot her and kill her" after not liking the socks the woman had put on one of the younger children.

After the nanny found out that she hadn't been paid in two years, she reached out for help and was rescued last October following a tip to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, the complaint said. It's not clear who made the tip.

Perez said the nanny is being cared for, but he declined to offer more details about her status.

Borno State Is Half Nigeria, Half Boko Haram Territory- Senator Says

Senator Kaka Garbai representing Borno Central in the senate, says that contrary to what President Buhari and military chiefs are saying, Borno state is partly controlled by the Nigerian government and Boko Haram terrorist group. Garbai said this while speaking to journalists in Dalori, Borno state on Saturday February 6th. He was in Dalori to pay condolence to the residents of the village who were attacked on January 30th which led to the death of over 100 people.
Garbai said the Nigerian military and the insurgents share control of the 21 Local governments in the state
“It is a wrong assumption that most of the local governments in Borno are recaptured from Boko Haram. In reality this is not true in the sense that apart from Maiduguri Metropolis, Bayo and Kwaya Kusar, these are the three local government that are under the occupation of the Nigerian government where the military and police are maintaining law and order. Mobbar, Abadam and Kala Balge are 100 percent occupied by the insurgents.
There are some local governments that are partially occupied by the insurgents especially as the local government secretariats have been liberated but their hither-lands are still controlled by the insurgents. From my count, only three local government are fully liberated, 21 local governments partially occupied by insurgents, that is there is still some level of Boko Haram occupation side by side the military or any other constituted authority.
The local government fully occupied by Boko Haram are Abadam, Mobbar and Kala Balge. We should not live under the illusion that Boko Haram are decimated or weaken, these are not reality and neither a true reflection of the reality.
The reality is that most of the local government in Borno is partially occupied by Boko Haram.”he said He kicked against the planned return of some of the Internally Displaced Persons to their Local government areas.
“If the people are moved back to their homelands you are making them vulnerable to attack. Unless you provide maximum security and return of law and order in these areas, relocating these people would be endangering their lives.”he said

Lamido Sanusi Criticises Buhari’s Naira Policy


Respected former head of Nigeria’s Central Bank, Lamido Sanusi has said the government should end its policy of trying to maintain the value of the currency, the naira. Mr Sanusi said the drawbacks of the policy “far outweigh its dubious benefits”, the Financial Times reports.
President Muhammadu Buhari had told the BBC last week that he was not convinced of the need to “murder” the naira.
However the falling oil price has put pressure on his currency policy. While the authorities are keeping the official naira rate at around 200 to the US dollar, the black market rate is closer to 300 and sometimes more than.
Because the Nigerian government relies on oil exports for vital foreign exchange, the declining price means there are fewer dollars in the country.
“The government does not have the reserves to keep the exchange rate at its official level in the market, ” Mr Sanusi said again while speaking with the Financial Times. The policy has “never worked” wherever it has been tried, he added

Her frantic parents eventually wept and pushed their way through to the podium where the man of God, Dr. Chris Okafor, ministered to other people, and he immediately took the child from them and prayed fervently. Then he dropped the child on the altar and commanded her spirit to come back and the child moved! The congregation exploded in tumultuous praise as the child continued to move and even later drank some water! See more photos below:-
