Usher gets into a fight in the club over fiancee, gets punched in the eye

The singer got into a fight on New Year's eve inside Miami's hotspot E11even and shared a pic of his bloody red eye on his instagram page, writing that the guy he fought with came out worse. Well, a source told MTO what happened...

Usher was in VIP with his girlfriend, and some drunk white guy was screaming disrespectful things towards Usher, trying to get his attention. When that didn't work, he started saying nasty things about his [fiancee Grace]. The guy called her ugly. To Usher's credit, he didn't act like a b*tch. He broke through security and started fighting the guy. Usher f*cked him up. It was like a four piece - Usher must be a boxer or something because the punches were very fast. I don't know how Usher's eye got like that because I didn't see White dude even tough Usher.

Obafemi Martins Poses with Nigerian Lil Wayne

Obafemi Martins posted this photo of himself and this guy on Instagram. I was
 so curious as to who he is, so I decided to find out. His name is Wasiu a.k.a Hello 
Sir, Olosa and Onala. They also call him Lil Wayne because of his tattoos.

I found out that he is an old friend of Obafemi, they used to play football together in 
Lagos Island, but because he allegedly couldn't find his way abroad or make it to 
the National team like Obagoal, he became frustrated, and according to people 
who know him well, he is supposedly now a drug addict.

Obafemi Martins has just reunited with him. I am sure he is looking for ways to rekindle the 
fire of life in him. See another photo of him below..

Ray J Fears For His Life – Calls 911

Some men really do fear their wives or girlfriend – but this story is even worse, as Ray J, is really afraid his girlfriend was going to kill him and then herself, as he even made a 911 call.

According to TMZ, Ray J freaked last month when he broke up with Princess Love, and he says she threatened to kill herself with a gun, and the 911 call he made, begging the dispatcher to send police to check on Princess. He repeatedly mentioned the Hayes murder-suicide(the guy who killed his partner, then himself) — and that he attempted, but failed, to take Love’s gun.
Hmm – Anger Love or what???

Unilever donates 1 million free samples of soap to schools

As part of efforts to drive awareness for good hygiene among school pupils, Unilever Nigeria Plc has donated samples of Lifebuoy soap to schools across the countries. At one of the donation site, Oregun High School, the management of the Unilever enjoined the pupils to imbibe the attitude of handwashing as a critical step to preventing them from contacting diseases adding that doing so will further help them to stay healthy as they pursue their life ambition.

Speaking at the assembly ground of the school premises to sensitize the students on the essence of hand washing and the steps to be taken to prevent any form of diseases, The brand building director of the company, Mr. David Okeme explained that hygiene has become necessary considering the danger it poses to the future of children especially as it affects the realization of their life-long goals.

He said” Hygiene is something that is attached to the future of the children. In many cases, they always lead to the death of children. As a company, we believe that we have a role to play in ensuring that they grow up healthy and strong to become the leaders of tomorrow. You must take to the seven steps to good hygiene because doing so will help promote healthy living”.

Speaking further on what inform the initiative, Okeme explained that the idea stem out of the need to increase the level of awareness as far as hand washing was concerned and also promote good nutrition which formed the reason for bringing on the brand at inception.

He said” Lifebuoy is the world number one soap. It came at a point when the world was in the midst of diarrhoea epidemic after the Second World War. Since then, lifebuoy has been in the service of humanities trying to actually drive the awareness of nutrition and the impact of poor nutrition on children especially in Nigeria where mortality among children between the age of 5 and above is extremely high. As a matter of confirmation, it has been proven that basic hand washing actually reduces that incidence of disease by more than 50%. What we are doing is to carry on with the purpose of the brand lifebuoy. Secondly, it is the fact that we have just been through a major health emergency with lifebuoy  contributing  immensely through awareness creation and donation of soap to help drive the behavior. It is not just good enough to tell people how to wash hand but to give them the tool .That is what we are doing today. In Nigeria, we are giving a million free samples of lifebuoy to children to help them embed the behavior of hand washing . This donation you are seeing today has happened in key countries where we had this health challenge across West Africa. This is how Unilever has chosen to intervene to help restore our children with the right behaviours and ensure that we live a very healthy life.

Asked if the donation is done only in Lagos , Okeme disagreed saying that donations were taking place simultaneously across the country.

He said” This is not a one shot intervention we are doing .Lifebuoy runs a school program which goes to schools across the country to teach children. So, we have that as a regular service. By today, we have directly reached over 3 million school children to teach them the importance of hand washing. We have an ongoing service to drive awareness in that area. This is already happening across the country.

On her part, the principal of the school, Mrs.Kuti Toyin commended the company and the non governmental organization for the initiative.

She said” I think Unilever as well as the NGO has really done well. You are aware that the ebola issue was really challenging for us as a nation. By this action, I want to appreciate them on behalf po the school, the state government. For me, this action is not about saving the child alone but saving the world.

In his remarks, the representative of the NGO,Mr.Opeyemi Odedere Save the Children, harped on the importance of hand washing to personal hygiene stating that the intervention being made by Unilever will go a long way to promote healthy life among the children.

He said” Prior to now, we have been hearing about prevention against disease. But we all know what led to this campaign, the Ebola issue which has been curtailed. But yet, we find it as an opportunity  to chase it away by making sure we educate the children on preventive measures not only for Ebola built other diseases. This is an opportunity to also educate them on the essence of hand washing, keeping proper hygiene. Apart from the daily washing of hand, there are methods that are meant to be used to be able to wash the hand effectively.

Meanwhile Cameroonian authorities say they will be recruiting 20,000 military officers as part of measures to prevent further attacks by members of the sect even as information emerged that Boko Haram members are working to enlist young Cameroonians into their group.


A lawmaker in Cameroon's parliament, Senator Haman Paul told Voice Of America

"There was something that we witnessed in Maroua (in northern Cameroon). People told us that they found people in town that were not actually people they were used to. When we found that one part of the country is in a very delicate situation, it is better to manage prevention instead of consequences,”
