US Blasts Mariah Carey For Performing In Nigeria: Calling Us A Country Known For ‘Terror, Death And Fraud’.

Seems the US media are not comfortable with Mariah Carey performing at a country they described as the “center of the world’s email financial crimes”.
A popular news site, Radar Online, had this to say on the performance;

Mariah Carey proudly posted a pic of herself in a slinky yellow dress and wrote, “Backstage in Nigeria” on Saturday.
But maybe the songbird should have done some homework before agreeing to the gig?
Her show was at Access Bank’s Christmas Party which was also a farewell bash for the bank’s managing director.
And while Access Bank is a reputable financial institution, should Carey have known a few basics about the African nation before taking the paycheck?

Ironically — given that she was performing for bankers — it seems Carey wasn’t aware Nigeria is well-known as the center of the world’s email financial crimes! Nigeria is even part of the name — as in “Nigerian 411 Scams.”
Nigeria is also, according to the United Nations, the hub of human trafficking as “a source, destination and transit country.
AND, just for good measure, there are mass killings going on in two Nigerian states right now, and according to Human Rights Watch, the violence is being ignored by federal authorities.

Do you think this assessment of Nigeria is right? Do you have any issues with the US star performing for Access Bank? Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section.

Cristiano Ronaldo Opens Museum In His Own Honour

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has opened a museum in his honour, which he said has extra room to be filled by future trophies.
Ronaldo, 28, is currently on the three-man shortlist to be named the Ballon d’Or winner for a second time.
“It’s a special day, I don’t want to mention specific ones” he said. “All I want is to win more and if the Ballon d’Or comes, there is extra room here.”
The museum in his native Madeira exhibits more than 125 awards.
Ronaldo won the prestigious 2008 Ballon d’Or title, formerly known as the Fifa World Player of the year title, while with Manchester United.
Before his six-year spell at Old Trafford ended with a then-world record £80m transfer to Real Madrid in 2009, he won three Premier Leagues, one Champions League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and one Fifa Club World Cup.
His success has continued in Spain, where he won the Copa del Rey in 2010-11 and La Liga in 2011-12 under now Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
The Portugal international opened his museum, which occupies the ground floor of a five-storey building, in front of a frenzy of reporters and fans.
“Here is the evidence of what I have won, no one will take it away from here and these were things I wanted to share with my fans, show them what I have already achieved,” he said speaking from the island which is approximately 250 miles off the southern coast of Portugal.
The first piece on display dates back to when Ronaldo was eight and top-scored in a tournament with his boyhood club Andorinha.
It also contains mementos from his senior playing career, including two Golden Boot awards won for being European football’s top scorer.
Ronaldo is competing with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery to be named the 2013 Ballon d’Or recipient, with the winner to be revealed at a ceremony in Zurich on 13 January.

Is this the real Lockerbie bomber? Egyptian terrorist linked to aviation disaster 25 years after plane came down

For 25 years, the Lockerbie Bombing has been shrouded in mystery.
Now, an Eyptian terrorist has been revealed as a likely suspect in the devastating attack.
Mohammed Abu Talb - who is serving life in prison for a series of bombings - has been named in a private investigation called Operation Bird.
He is alleged to be behind the blast that took place on board Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland in 1988 - killing 270 people.

The investigation - put forward as a report by Forensic Investigative Associates in London - has also accused the CIA of covering up Talb's role in the atrocity, according the The Sunday People and Exaro.
It was commissioned by lawyers for Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who was jailed in 2001 for masterminding the bombing.

If the report is correct, it means al-Megrahi - who died of cancer aged 60 last year after being controversially freed from jail in 2009 - may have been wrongly imprisoned. 
Investigators claim key pieces of evidence in the case against al-Megrahi - including a fragment of circuit board for a timer - were faked.
They also allege the bomb was planted in luggage at Heathrow airport in London - not loaded by al-Megrahi in Malta, as the prosecution claimed during his trial in 2001.

And they say Talb - who was an initial suspect in the case - met with other Middle East terror suspects in the run-up to the bombing.


The report - written in 2002 - was supposed to form part of al-Megrahi's appeal in 2009, but it was never used.

Horrific: Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 22, 1988 - killing 270 people

Wreckage: Eleven people in the Scottish town were killed when parts of the plane plummeted to the ground

Jailed: Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, pictured left and right, was jailed in 2001 for masterminding the bombing

However, it is due to be aired in an Al Jazeera TV documentary this week.
Its authors - Jessica de Grazia, a former New York chief assistant district attorney, and ex-Met police officer Philip Corbett - expect their findings to provoke calls for the case to be re-opened.
They conclude: 'We have never seen a criminal investigation in which there has been such a consistent disregard of an alternative and far more persuasive theory of the case.'
Talb, now 59, was jailed for life in 1989 after carrying out bombings in Copenhagen, Denmark and Amsterdam - killing one person and reportedly injuring a further 20.

Cover-up? The private investigation has accused the CIA of covering up Talb's role in the terrorist atrocity

He has always denied any involvement in the Lockerbie bombing - and even gave evidence against al-Megrahi during his trial in return for immunity from prosecution.

However, ex-CIA expert Robert Baer later claimed the terrorist had been paid $500,000 (£307,000) just months after the atrocity.
And Operation Bird suggests police were misled in their investigation due to a government agency - most likely, the CIA - deliberately covering up the true culprit.
Ms De Grazia and Mr Corbett said the five-month inquiry 'leads us to believe the investigation into the Lockerbie bombing was directed off-course as a result of government interference.'

Denial: Talb, now 59, has always denied any involvement in the attack over Lockerbie (pictured) in Dumfries

They added: 'In our experience, the decision to intervene would have been made at the highest level of government, most likely a top executive of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.'
Earlier this year, members of the Lockerbie investigation team - including officers from Dumfries and Galloway Police - visited Libya to look into possible leads which could result in further convictions for the bombing.
However, Libyan authorities later said they did not want to 'dig into the past' amid fears they could be forced to pay out further compensation to the families of the victims.

Nelson Mandela's funeral, Nelson Mandela is laid to rest in his childhood home

Nelson Mandela has today been buried in the remote village where the anti-apartheid icon grew up after his four-hour state funeral this morning.

South Africa's first black President died in his Johannesburg home on December 5, at the age of 95 after a long battle with illness and he was laid to rest in his grave in Qunu in Eastern Cape province.

Troops lined the route up to the hillside as Mandela was carried on a gun carriage to the private burial on his family’s estate.
As his body was placed on the grave the South African flag on the coffin was removed and handed to Mandela's widow Graca Machel, who was comforted by his ex-wife Winnie Mandela.
A fly-past then followed accompanied by a 21-gun salute and a solitary trumpeter played the Last Post while his body was lowered into the ground.
As he was buried a military chaplain said: 'Yours was truly a long walk to freedom, and now you have achieved the ultimate freedom, in the bosom of your maker.'
His funeral was also marked by his Xhosa tribe whose elders will have slaughtered an ox to accompany his spirit after burial, while guests would be asked to drink its blood from a communal bowl.
But it is understood dignitaries such as Prince Charles were probably offered the animal's meat to eat instead after it was cooked on an open fire.
Mandela's family also talked to him until he lowered into the earth and will have said 'Madiba, we are now burying you,' a tradition followed so the souls of the dead know where they are going.

Goodbye to an icon: Nelson Mandela's coffin is slowly lowered into the ground in the hills close to where he grew up at the small, private burial today in Qunu as military salute and mourners watch the poignant moment

Poignant: Nelson Mandela's coffin was carried to his grave and then the flag of the country he loved so ardently was removed and handed to his widow Graca Machel

United in grief: Mandela's widow Graca Michel and his ex-wife Winnie Mandela tearfully comforted one another as they sat next to president Jacob Zuma and Mandela's grandson Mandla as he was laid to rest

Special tribute: The South African air force fly over Mandela's grave in the hills of Qunu where he grew up, which was accompanied by a 21-gun salute

A nation in mourning: Three helicopters carrying South African flags fly over the burial site today as a much smaller crowd of mourners watched the great statesman laid to rest after ten days of official mourning

Air force tribute: A squadron of South African jets flew across the skies above the Eastern Cape hills where Mandela spent his formative years

Burial: The military carry Mandela's body along the pathway to the area where South Africa's beloved son's burial site in Qunu

Procession: After the funeral South Africa's military took over and followed Mandela's coffin up the hill to his family plot where he was buried

Funeral procession: After the four hour memorial service Mandela's body on a gun carriage led by troops and followed by his family in cars

Arm in arm: Mandela's second wife Winnie Madikizela Mandela (far right) and the statesman's widow Graca Machel (centre) walk together as he is about to be buried

Final journey: The coffin of former South African President Nelson Mandela is carried by military personnel at the end of his funeral service in his ancestral village of Qunu in the Eastern Cape

Earlier she arrived at the state ceremony ahead of her husband to honour the tradition of being home to receive his body in a room where his portrait stood above a bank of 95 candles representing each year of his remarkable life.
Around 5,000 guests, including his ex-wife Winnie, the Prince of Wales, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson and the American civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, were also at the service.
But the ceremony overran by nearly two hours as political figures gave a series of extended eulogies, meaning that his tribe's tradition that burials should be at noon 'when the sun is at its highest and the shadow at its shortest' had to change.
The current leader of his beloved country, Jacob Zuma, told mourners Madiba, as he was adoringly called, was 'a fountain of wisdom, a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope for all those fighting for a just and equitable world order.

Paying their final respects: Nelson Mandela's grands

Justin Bieber - Ambulance Called To Calabasas Mansion For Passed Out Girl

Ambulances raced to Justin Bieber's Calabasas home early this morning after they received a 911 call saying a woman passed out inside ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned paramedics were dispatched to Bieber's crib this morning around 3 a.m. after someone at Beiber's reported there was a 20-year old unconscious female at the house ... but 15 minutes later the ambulances were called off.

Beiber was home at the time 911 was called.  The person who called off the fire department told dispatch the woman would be transported privately to the hospital.  But sources familiar with the situation tell us ... the woman regained consciousness and when she was told 911 had been called she insisted they be called off.

We're told the woman did not go to the hospital.  She went home instead.  We know alcohol was involved.  We don't know what, if anything else, was involved.

We're also told the woman was attending a party thrown by Bieber.

Someone connected to Bieber told us ... a member of the singer's security team called 911 out of abundance of caution but the woman turned out to be ok.

Kim Kardashian: I Want to Look Like Kate Middleton On My Wedding Day!

Kim Kardashian may be letting her fiance Kanye West take the lead with wedding planning, but there's one thing she knows for sure - she wants to look like Kate Middleton on her big day!
Although this is Kim's third trip down the aisle, the reality star wants to make it count in a sophisticated dress like the one Kate wore to marry Prince William in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.

"Kim is absolutely obsessed with everything Kate and William do," a source told Contact Music about the reality star. "She considers her own family 'American Royalty.' Kim loves Kate's style and while she is planning on several gowns for her big day, she wants the one for the ceremony to look something like Kate's dress."

The modest, long-sleeved gown that Kate wore was designed by Sarah Burton, head designer for the label Alexander McQueen. Kanye, who loves fashion and has designed his own collection in the past, has worked with Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, who is based in Paris. Riccardo designed the controversial floral print dress that pregnant Kim wore to the Met Ball earlier this year.

And it's not just the dress that supposedly inspires Kim. The source also says that the 32-year-old new mom plans to wear a tiara at the wedding, and she and Kanye will sit on golden thrones during the ceremony.
This isn't the first time that Kim has expressed her admiration for Duchess Catherine. When the Kardashian Kollection clothing line came out, Kim sent Kate a few free pieces to wear. However, Kate politely declined the gift and sent the package back unopened.

Yemi Alade: “I’m my biggest challenge”

Yemi Alade isn’t a new face in the Nigerian music industry anymore.
The 23 year old has shown with her on stage performances how energetic she is and full of life.
She has finally won the heart of Nigerian music lovers and in an exclusive interview with ‘NET NG’, she answers all questions of how she got to where she is now.
Read interview excerpts below: -
What have you been up to in the last couple of months?
I embarked on a nationwide media tour and just got back. The tour was to promote my two new singles ‘My head’ and ‘Birthday song’ and I decided to take a hundred cakes to the media houses.
While on tour in Enugu I recorded a song called ‘Johnny’ with Selebobo. The song has quite a nice storyline attached to it and we’ve been promoting it since we got back. I was recently nominated forExquisite Lady of the Year (ELOY) awards although I didn’t win.
I intend participating in the awareness for chest and cervical cancer and HIV/Aids this December. Uti Nwachukwu would be taking a couple of celebrities on a trip to the orphanages on the 20th of this month. I would also be involved in a programme with Peak Milk; they just made me one of their ambassadors. In January by the special grace of God we are going to schools to encourage kids to stay in school and live their dreams. Even after winning the Peak Talent Show I was still able to stay back in school and get a degree in Geography.
When did you decide to go into music professionally?
I have been doing this music thing for like seven to eight years now; I was in a girl group called Naughty Spices and my stage name then was Ginger (laughs) but I kicked off my career three or four years ago, just after winning the Peak Talent Show.
If you hadn’t won the Peak Talent Show would you still be singing?
I would have deviated to be sincere with you, because I wasn’t 100 per cent keen on dong music professionally. But emerging as winner opened my eyes and made me realise that I have to make something out of this talent.
What inspires your kind of music?
Everything I do comes from the heart. I always try to make sure that a piece of me reflects in all my songs. Secondly the producer has to lace a perfect beat that gives the song the direction I want; if it’s a club joint, I give it the club banger approach and if it’s a ‘silky sheet’ beat I would give the beat the pillow case and all that’s needed to go with it. Inspiration is from my environment and experiences.
Do you think that in terms of vocals you should be ranked in the same category with Waje, Tiwa Savage and Omawumi?
Those that have witnessed the strength of my vocals can attest to the fact that I am a great vocalist and since my talent is God given and can’t go anywhere then it’s just a matter of time. When you open your eyes you open them that is all I can say.
Why hasn’t Yemi Alade gotten that big breakthrough despite the fact that you’ve been in the industry for like four years?
It would be four years by next year. I believe that’s what my team and I have been working on and the only thing that can bring the breakthrough on a major scale is time and chance and this is only made available by God. I know that where I was last year and where I am this year are two different places and for some big shots to recognise me means I’m doing something right. I mean I’m just 23 years old and Waje and the rest are way ahead of me. When I knock on the door, open the door for me abeg.
Who are your role models or people that inspire you to sing more or even help lift your mood?
My role model playlist is quite long. I listen to the powerful three like you said earlier; Waje, Tiwa and Omawumi. Waje is a classic example of a perfect RnB diva, Omawumi is Afro, Tiwa is a perfect Afro Pop singer. But outside the shores of Nigeria I listen to Maria Carey; her voice is like a projection for me, I always try to match her. I love Beyonce’s stage craft but I still take it back to Whitney Houston. I also listen to Etta James. I love listening to old songs so yes my playlist is long.
What are the recently played songs on your iPod right now?
You will find ‘Seun Rere’ by Christy Essien Igbokwe. I recently performed the song at her memorial and then Coldplay’s ‘Fix you’.
Apart from the ‘Power Three’, how competitive is the market amongst yourself, Seyi Shay, Zaina and your other peers?
I believe all the ladies in the industry are really trying, every day we have to look prim and proper and it takes a lot of effort. But I really think that I am my biggest challenge. I’m the one that can hold myself backward or push myself forward, it all depends on me.
When you first started you had a tomboyish look, comparing that to your new sexy look, you’ve considerably changed. Was the transformation as a result of you growing up or your team’s decision to get you a wider fan base?
(Laughs) They say if you have it flaunt it, but on a more serious note I’m still the tomboy till now. It has a little to do with my team though. I’m a chameleon; if you notice me very well I change my hairstyle regularly and in my videos as well. If you don’t know me very well you might be confused as to the Yemi Alade singing. So I guess my style is always changing.
When would you start headlining major events alongside other big names?
Well we are getting there, my new single ‘Johnny’ has been getting massive airplay and love. It’s just about two months old and there’s no telling where it would be in the next couple of months. It’s already been compared to Wizkid’s ‘Caro’ and that’s quite positive so let’s just say in no time we would be on all those major shows.
A lot of people say you’re dating your manager. Is it true?
Well that’s a very awesome question which I get asked a lot of times. The truth of the matter is that when it comes to my relationship I always try to let it reflect in my songs. My relationship status at the moment is in ‘Johnny’, so if you listen to the song, you will know what’s happening in my life. And no, I’m not dating him.
Do you think that industry politics has affected you in any way?
There’s a bit of politicking everywhere so yes it has but if there’s no politics that means there nothing worth fighting for. I really think we need to drop some of those cabal moves because it’s really not helping good music.
With your talent and voice one would have assumed that you would have a lot of massive collaborations which is not so. Why?
If I were to pen down the number of artistes I’ve had collaborations with, they would turn out to be quite a number but right now I’m looking forward to collaborations with other African artistes as well as international acts.
You have about 7- 8 singles and there’s been rumours about you dropping a mixtape as well as an album, can you please clarify that and let us know what’s coming out first?
Well, we have shot the video for ‘Johnny’ during the first week of this month, but my album should be dropping between the next 2-3 months after that, the ‘Aristo Music’ mixtape would also be out

“I Don’t Have A Problem With Being Gay” – Nollywood Actor Opens Up”

In a recent interview, Nollywood actor Enyina Nwigwe opens up on acting roles that might require him to portray the role of a homosexual man.
In one of such controversial movies, title Games Men Play Reloaded, he admitted getting a few negative reaction from people for playing the role of a gay man.
Hear him:

“It doesn’t get to me. Yes, I got a couple of funny hints from the community that I must be one of them. I don’t have a problem with that. I was just interpreting a role. But it’s only natural that if the gay community finds you attractive, they would come after you. Having said this, I have not been stigmatised whatsoever.”

When asked how he was able to successfully play the role, he says:

“It was tricky, but the thing is that as an actor, you should learn to zone out and compartmentalize, which is exactly what I did. I took myself out of who I was and became the character I was playing. The moment you are able to figure this out, those things you call challenges do not exist because you are living the character at the moment until you switch back tom yourself.”

Beyoncé Pulls Off the Biggest Stunt of 2013: Watch All 17 Video Previews From Her New Album!

Who runs the world? Beyoncé!
The 32-year-old songstress had a surprise up her sleeve last night when she released her new self-titled record on iTunes shortly after midnight. Bey’s fifth LP features 14 new songs and 17 “complementary videos.” Blue Ivy’s mama did the unthinkable – she dropped Beyoncé without any indication that it was in the works and did zero promotion leading up to the iTunes takeover.
“I see music. It’s more than just what I hear,” she said in her video announcement on Facebook. “When I’m connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies. And they’re all connected to the music.”
Bey collaborated with a ton of artists on the visual album, including Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, former Destiny’s Child band mates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland (they appear in the “Superpower” video), Drake, Timbaland, Frank Ocean and, of course, husband Jay Z. The best part about it? The couple’s 23-month-old daughter, Blue, is featured on one of mom’s new songs titled “Blue.”
Full Track List:
1. Pretty Hurts
2. Haunted
3. Drunk in Love (feat. Jay Z)
4. Blow
5. No Angel
6. Partition
7. Jealous
8. Rocket
9. Mine (feat. Drake)
10. XO
11. ***Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche)
12. Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean)
13. Heaven
14. Blue (feat. Blue Ivy)
According to the iTunes editors’ notes, the videos “unfold amid an international backdrop of New York, Paris, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro.” Is there anything this woman CAN’T do?
It’s safe to say Christmas has come early for Bey fans around the world!
Check out all 17 video previews below — and tell us which one is your fave in comments!

Move Over, Sasha Fierce — Meet Beyoncé’s New Alter Ego, Yoncé!

Sasha Fierce is out, and Yoncé is in!
Along with releasing a surprise visual album just after midnight, Beyoncé also revealed her brand new alter ego.
Five years after she introduced Sasha to the world with her third studio album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, Blue Ivy’s mama decided to welcome her new evil twin with the help from three supermodels in a sexy video for the song entitled "Yoncé."
Beyoncé recruited Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls and Chanel Iman to strut their stuff alongside Yoncé, who is seen wearing a cleavage-baring top and grillz while provocatively smoking a cigar and licking a lollipop in the 30-second preview.
Beyoncé recruited Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls and Chanel Iman to strut their stuff alongside Yoncé, who is seen wearing a cleavage-baring top and grillz while provocatively smoking a cigar and licking a lollipop in the 30-second preview.
All four ladies are shown in various seductive poses. At one point, Joan even drops it low next to Yoncé.
In 2010, Bey admitted to Allure magazine that she said goodbye to her first alter ego. “Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her,” said the 32-year-old songstress, who created Sasha in an effort to separate her own shy personality from her outrageous stage persona. “I don’t need Sasha Fierce anymore because I’ve grown and now I’m able to merge the two.”
Yoncé is no Sasha, though — unlike diva Sasha, Yoncé’s style is more ghetto fabulous.

Beyoncé shocked the world last night when she simultaneously announced and released her self-titled fifth studio album.
And it’s already a massive success. Her latest effort sold an astounding 80,000 copies in just three hours and it crashed iTunes! The explicit and clean versions currently sit in the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively, on the Apple media player.
The album, which features 14 songs and 17 videos, caused quite a stir on social media, too. Twitter said the record generated 1.2 million tweets in 12 hours, with a tweets-per-minute high of 5,300.
Check out the model's photos and videos from the set of the "Yoncé" music video below:
