Nicki Minaj Steps Out on a Bad Hair Day After Rumors of Beef With Iggy Azalea

 
Nicki Minaj was photographed on her way to rehearsal yesterday, and she was looking fairly disheveled and not like her usual fashionable self. The award-winning rapper's hair was a mess and she was wearing old sweats and sneakers and with very little to no make up on.

This is coming just days after Nicki Minaj gave an acceptance speech at the BET Awards on Sunday, that appeared to throw shade at other female rappers, especially Iggy Azalea, an upcoming rapper who was also nominated for the same award.

Nicki said in her speech that when "you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it." Some say this is a pointed dig at Iggy Azalea who's been rumored to work with ghostwriters and who some say is on her way to taking Nicki Minaj's crown as the best female MC.

When their respective fans and media outlets reported on the shade, Nicki came out on Twitter to clear the air.

"The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I will always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us! ...

I've congratulated Iggy on the success of 'Fancy,' publicly. She should be very proud of that. All the women nominated should b proud. ...

That will never change my desire to motivate women to write. Our voices have to be heard. I hope I inspire up & coming females to do that."

Azalea had initially remained silent on the subject, but the day after Nicki's tweets, the younger rapper released a statement on her Instagram account;

"I have to say the general explosion of pettiness online in the last few days is hard to ignore and honestly ... lame. If I had won the BET award that would've been great but it wasn't my year and I don't mind -- so you shouldn't either.

"Generally speaking, I'm unbothered by anything that 'happened' at the BET awards, and just feel worn out by everyone trying to make me have wars with people all the time. Anyone who wishes me well is welcome in my life and those who don't can't get any more of my time. I hate to see everyone exhausting themselves on my behalf over things that I'm still not sure even exist and don't matter. Just let it go."

Kill Kendall Jones Page: NOT Taken Down By Facebook!

Facebook has allowed the "Kill Kendall Jones" community page to stay up, ruling upon review that it does not violate the social network's community standards.
This despite the fact that several of the now-infamous Kendall Jones hunting photos were taken down for violating the company's policies regarding animal abuse.

The 19-year-old cheerleader from Texas, an avid hunter, sparked plenty of outrage and admiration by posing with her trophy kills (see gallery below) last week.
Facebook nixed a series of photos that showed her posing with a variety of animals, including a leopard and a lion, that she had shot on safari in Zimbabwe.
The pictures were said to break a rule about “graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence,” as outlined by the company.
Many Facebook users want to Kill Kendall Jones, however, and her father is livid that such content is allowed to stay up while her pictures are not.
Cody Jones says he contacted Facebook, demanding they take down the "Kill Kendall Jones" page and its many posts and pics urging his daughter's murder.
He says Facebook shut him down, reviewing the page and determining that it didn't violate standards, despite it being a takeoff of Kendall's own postings.
In fact, some of the exact photos she shared are still up in doctored form.
The Kill Kendall page turns the tables on Jones, with the animals standing over a dead hunter (usually her). Somewhere, Joanna Krupa is smiling at this.
Facebook says, "We remove content and may escalate to law enforcement when we perceive a genuine risk of physical harm, or a direct threat to public safety."
Apparently, they feel a page called Kill Kendall Jones doesn't qualify.

Kojo Williams Explains How The Sports Minister Could Have Saved Nigeria From FIFA Ban

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) yesterday banned Nigeria from participating in any FIFA sanctioned event, National team or club side due to government interference in the sport.

Former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF Kojo Williams has revealed that the recent ban was expected. Kojo was talking to reporters from Vanguard and talked of his disapointment with the new Sports Minister, Tammy Danagogo and his ministry for not handling the sack of NFF chairman and his board.

Kojo said: “I am disappointed that the Minister of Sports was not properly advised. FIFA has got structures and you cannot tamper with its structures and go free.”
He said that Minister Danagogo should have waited till August and then allow Maigari to be gone, He said: “If they wanted to sack the Maigari board, they should have waited for the August election. That is when they should have executed all their plans.

They are in a hurry. I don’t really know what they want. If they claim Maigari spent money, they should have asked him to explain how he spent the money. It is a shame,”

“I am shocked that we can still find ourselves in this kind of situation given our level of exposure. Some of us saw it coming. It is unfortunate” he said.

This is not the first time FIFA has banned Nigeria, Nigeria was banned in 1996 when then Military President Abacha interfered in the running of football in the country.

See Why A Native Doctor Kills and Buries a Man In a Shallow Grave

The Department of State Service, DSS, in Awka, yesterday, paraded a native doctor, Nze Sunday Asika (aka Aboy Ekwensu) and another suspect, Mr. Uchenna Ibeh for the murder of a vulcanizer, John Nwosu.

The accused native doctor, Asika and his culprit, Ibeh both confessed to killing the deceased who is from Ahiazu Mbaise in Imo State and then buried him in a shallow grave at Nkpologwu in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.
However, both Asika and Ibeh did not agreed on who masterminded the killing.
The native doctor, Asika told Vanguard at DSS headquarters in Awka admitted to shooting the deceased but said Ibeh was the one that provided the gun which he used in killing the deceased and added he also carried the body and buried him in the grave.
He said further that Ibeh threatened to kill him if he allowed John to go because John had not been giving them money brought by his brother in South Africa.
Ibeh, on the other hand, however admitted that he was the person that took security operatives to the place where John was buried but said that he was only working for the native doctor as an electrician.
The Anambra State Director of DSS, Mr. Alex Okeiyi, told newsmen in Awka that the deceased approached the native doctor to help him prepare charm for his brother residing in South Africa for business growth.

Okeiyi said: “Nwosu’s brother had sent him to the native doctor for a charm to make his business in South Africa flourish, but the charm seemed not to be effective as his brother in South Africa was still having problems with his business.
“This forced his brother, John, to demand refund of the N500,000 he said he paid for the charm and this was his mission to the house of the native doctor. There, the native doctor and Ibeh lured him out of the native doctor’s house at about 8pm and murdered him.
“Asika shot him with a gun and they buried him in a sitting position in a shallow grave they prepared earlier.
“Ibeh confessed the native doctor had asked the deceased to stay back for a sacrifice on the fateful night, only for him to shoot him to death and he (Ibeh) buried the victim in an already dug pit and they headed to an unknown destination.
“Thereafter, the native doctor ordered the dismantling of the deceased’s motorcycle and used the parts to repair his faulty CG motorcycle with number plate, Enugu QP 782 UWH, and threw the dismantled motorcycle into a stream to obliterate evidence that would show that the deceased visited the native doctor.”

According to Okeiyi, a homicide team from the Anambra State Police Command led by a pathologist exhumed the remains of the deceased in the shallow grave at Nkpologwu in Aguata Local Government Area.
Meanwhile Okeiyi said the native doctor has been a terror in his Nkpologwu community, adding that available information indicates that he has been providing spiritual protection to high profile criminals in Anambra and other neighbouring states.
The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Ndidi Nwosu, a mother of three who said she was three months pregnant when her husband disappeared said things have been difficult for her and the kids since the murder of her husband as it has been members of her church, neighbours and relations that have assisting them.

Human Rights Lawyer, Bamidele Aturu Dies At 49

 

 Mr Aturu passed on today after an undisclosed illness at the age of 49. The late lawyer was one of the founding members  of Democratic Alternative; a political group dedicated to holding those in power accountable to the governed.

The late activist during his NYSC days was bold enough to refuse to shake the hand of a military administrator of Niger State, Col. Lawan Gwadabe in 1988 during his NYSC passing out parade, saying the military had caused great harm to the democratic aspirations of Nigerians.

Mr Aturu was also nominated as a member of the ongoing National Conference, but refused to be part of it, arguing that the conference was designed to achieve nothing.

May his soul rest in peace.
