The Nigerian electrifying duo, Paul and Peter Okoye – P-Square are still in Canada for their US/Canada tour which ticked off in Chicago on August 23.

”even Dallas cops love Psquare @peterpsquare @rudeboypsquare #Dallas #psquare #usacanadatour donflex”.
“That was my purpose, to gain his attention. And yes, I did it in an inappropriate way,” Ethel Anderson, who was 29 at the time the abuse began, said in court.
According to reports, over 230 pages of sexually explicit text messages were sent between the teacher and student.
According to Bay News 9, prosecutors obtained more than 230 pages of sexually explicit text messages between the teacher and student.
Although she admitted sending the texts, she denied any contact occurred, and claimed the victim threatened to turn her in.
The victim, now 14, also testified about the alleged abuse on Tuesday.
“We sat on the couch and we started doing s*xual stuff. At first I told her to stop… she was rubbing on my leg, but then it just led to more,” the victim told the court. “She would say she wanted me so bad and she wanted me to go farther [sic]… I just did not want to lose my virginity to a teacher.”
It was reported that the abuse occurred during math tutoring sessions at Anderson’s home between December 2011 and February 2012.
In testimony, the victim told the court that at the time, he thought he was “living a guy’s dream… [of] dating a teacher,” but that he didn’t tell anyone because he “knew she’d get in trouble.”
If convicted, Anderson faces up to 30 years in prison.

Norman “Dutch Giant” Oosterbroek who protected A-list stars such as Lady Gaga was tasered to death by Miami-Dade County police on Sept. 2 after he stripped naked and broke into a neighbor’s home. Police believe Oosterbrook was high on bath salts at the time of his death.
According to the NY Daily News, a “major print publication” approached Beyonce and Jay Z last year with evidence of their bodyguard’s freaky sexcapades, but the power couple allegedly made a deal the publication to bury the story.
Oosterbroek’s life spiraled out of control in the past months after he lost his job looking out for Jay, Bey and their daughter, Blue Ivy. It all fell apart after the power couple discovered the hulking guard had hired the services of a prostitute while on duty for them in Las Vegas, a source tells us.
The duo also allegedly discovered photographic and video evidence showing Oosterbroek using the family’s passports in a lewd act.
The story was first uncovered by a major print publication last year, which approached Jay Z and Beyoncé for comment. The couple then made a deal to ensure the story never saw the light of day, according to our source.
“Beyoncé and Jay Z were furious when they found out,” said the source. “They trusted Norman with their lives and then he went and did some pretty freaky things, and on video with a hooker. They were outraged.”

At nights I can't sleep too easy, my heart is sore and my mind perpetually clustered with things that leave me shaking. Oh God! Why? I have prayed, I have fasted but nothing has changed, and it's almost a year now. My dreams are nothing but nightmares of all the negatives in this wilderness. What's happening to me? Look at me, I have always enjoyed comforting and giving directions to people in pain, right now I can't even save myself and I have refused to take my own pills.

How did we end up with deluded characters as so called leaders in Nigeria. That former Vice President Atiku would have Nigerians believe he bought a house for his mother as a minor/child is a clear indication that Nigeria's problem is beyond human understanding.)

Family members are now fighting over his assets said to be worth millions of Naira.
Despite having issue’s her late husband’s family, Joy Ajanaku is on great terms with members of the church her husband left behind. The ministry’s board agreed to install her as their new leader and said the late prophet anointed her as the chosen one before his death. They also said they have a wedding certificate to prove that she was truly married to their late spiritual leader. Joy and some members of the church are getting ready to take late Ajanaku’s family to court over his estate.
How are your kids?
They are great.
And how are they taking the whole divorce issue?
We are not really divorced. It’s still a work-in-progress kind of thing but we are taking it well. When its time for him to see the children, he does and when its time to return them, he does. On my part, I
have carried the children along and make them understand they are not stained because of it. I wouldn’t want them to develop a complex because of it. We didn’t design for these things to happen but they do. It’s like people who have lost their parents, they didn’t plan for it but they have to move on. I watch them and I think they are doing pretty okay especially because we talk about it every time there is a reason to.

The conclusion come in light when the team led by researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine claimed that fatty liver and insulin resistance may also result from fructose produced in the liver from non-fructose containing carbohydrates.
First authors are Miguel Lanaspa, PhD, and Takuji Ishimoto, MD, reported that mice can convert glucose to fructose in the liver, and that this conversion was critical for driving the development of obesity and insulin resistance in mice fed glucose.
Richard Johnson, MD, professor of medicine and chief of the division of renal diseases and hypertension at the School of Medicine, said that their study shows that much of the riskfrom ingesting high glycemic foods is actually due to the generation of fructose, which is a low glycemic sugar.
The study has been published in the Nature Communications.

Kashamu in a statement, yesterday, in Abeokuta, described Obasanjo action as deceitful.
He said the actions of the “so-called seven aggrieved governors and their collaborators” explained better.
According to him: “The events leading to the current storm in a tea cup are all too familiar to warrant a recount here. But true to my character, what I find unsettling and difficult to stomach is the pretensions of some of our leaders who are now masquerading as peace makers.”
“There is sufficient evidence that they were part and parcel of the gang up against the Presidency and the leadership of the party.
“Let me state from the outset that while it is true that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is my adopted political father and I am one of his foot soldiers, it is also true that Ihave learnt from him the virtues of courage and how to speak the truth to power, irrespective of whose ox is gored.”
